Which country passed the first animal rights law in the world?

In the late 17th and early 18th centuries, Japan was ruled by Tokugawa Tsunayoshi, who went down in history under the nickname "Dog Shogun". He issued an animal rights decree, the earliest known law of its kind in world history, banning the killing of dogs, cats, and driven horses under penalty of death. Citizens had to affectionately address stray dogs as "High Nobility Dog", and those who did not obey this requirement were subjected to corporal punishment.

In the capital of Edo, several shelters were built for breeding dogs, where they were entitled to a ration more than for the peasants.

These measures, along with the financial crisis, caused growing discontent among the population, and after the death of Tsunayoshi, his successor immediately repealed this law.

Random interesting fact from the Great Encyclopedia:

What is sand?

When a solid rock was exposed to wind, rain, and frost, it would break into small pieces. If these particles are small enough (from 0,05 mm to 2,5 mm in diameter), they are called sand. Since sand is the small particles of minerals that make up mountains, any minerals can be found in the sand.

The main material of which sand is composed is quartz. Some sands contain 99% quartz. Other minerals that can be found in the sand are calcite, mica, iron ore, in small quantities - garnet, tourmaline, topaz.

Sand can be found wherever mountains are exposed to nature. One of the places with the greatest occurrence of sand is the seashore. Here the impact of the tides, their destructive effect on the mountains, the friction of the applied sand on the mountains and the dissolution of some mountain minerals with salt water affects. All this together contributes to the formation of sand. But where do the sands in the deserts come from? Much of the sand is blown into the desert.

In some cases, desert sand is formed by the destruction of mountains. There are cases when deserts were originally the seabed, but millennia ago the water receded. Sand is a very useful material. It is used in the manufacture of concrete, glass, sandpaper, filters for water purification.

Machine for thinning flowers in gardens 02.05.2024

In modern agriculture, technological progress is developing aimed at increasing the efficiency of plant care processes. The innovative Florix flower thinning machine was presented in Italy, designed to optimize the harvesting stage. This tool is equipped with mobile arms, allowing it to be easily adapted to the needs of the garden. The operator can adjust the speed of the thin wires by controlling them from the tractor cab using a joystick. This approach significantly increases the efficiency of the flower thinning process, providing the possibility of individual adjustment to the specific conditions of the garden, as well as the variety and type of fruit grown in it. After testing the Florix machine for two years on various types of fruit, the results were very encouraging. Farmers such as Filiberto Montanari, who has used a Florix machine for several years, have reported a significant reduction in the time and labor required to thin flowers. ... >>

Advanced Infrared Microscope 02.05.2024

Microscopes play an important role in scientific research, allowing scientists to delve into structures and processes invisible to the eye. However, various microscopy methods have their limitations, and among them was the limitation of resolution when using the infrared range. But the latest achievements of Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo open up new prospects for studying the microworld. Scientists from the University of Tokyo have unveiled a new microscope that will revolutionize the capabilities of infrared microscopy. This advanced instrument allows you to see the internal structures of living bacteria with amazing clarity on the nanometer scale. Typically, mid-infrared microscopes are limited by low resolution, but the latest development from Japanese researchers overcomes these limitations. According to scientists, the developed microscope allows creating images with a resolution of up to 120 nanometers, which is 30 times higher than the resolution of traditional microscopes. ... >>

Air trap for insects 01.05.2024

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, and pest control is an integral part of this process. A team of scientists from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, has come up with an innovative solution to this problem - a wind-powered insect air trap. This device addresses the shortcomings of traditional pest control methods by providing real-time insect population data. The trap is powered entirely by wind energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution that requires no power. Its unique design allows monitoring of both harmful and beneficial insects, providing a complete overview of the population in any agricultural area. “By assessing target pests at the right time, we can take necessary measures to control both pests and diseases,” says Kapil ... >>

Fast Pair - New Bluetooth Pairing Technology 05.11.2017

Google has introduced a new technology for quickly pairing Bluetooth devices with smartphones running Android 6.0 Marshmallow and later. This requires updating Google Play services to version 11.7.

The Fast Pair technology is currently supported by the Google Pixel Buds and Libratone Q Adapt On-Ear wireless headphones. Support will be added to the Plantronics Voyager 8200 headset soon.

Fast Pair uses Bluetooth Low Energy to detect compatible devices, after which the normal Bluetooth pairing channel is activated. When Fast Pair mode is activated on a compatible device and Bluetooth is enabled on the smartphone, users will receive a device discovery notification prompting them to pair. If the headset has a companion app on Google Play, then the user will be prompted to download it in the next step.
