In which country is jailbreak per se not punishable by law?

The Criminal Code of the Russian Federation provides for additional prison terms for persons who have committed or attempted to escape from places of deprivation of liberty.

But in Germany, the act of escape itself is not punished in any way, since back in 1880 the court considered that it was justified by the desire for freedom - one of the main human instincts. True, the caught fugitives in most cases will face additional punishment under related articles: damage to property (for example, sawing bars), theft (since the fugitive takes away prison clothes), violence (if the prisoner attacked the guards during the escape) or bribery.

 Random interesting fact from the Great Encyclopedia:

What marsupials are almost unaffected by any snake venom?

Venomous snakes form an essential part of the diet of many opossum species, which have little to no effect on the venom. The scientists isolated the protein responsible for this in the blood of opossums, calling it the lethal toxin neutralizing factor, or LTNF. Experiments were conducted with mice that were injected with this protein, and then with lethal doses of various poisons. LTNF has successfully neutralized snake venoms, even from Asian and Australian snakes, which North American opossums never encounter. LTNF also successfully resisted scorpion venom, ricin and botulinum toxin - all this gives hope for the creation of a universal antidote for humans based on this substance of opossums.

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 ... >>

Records are a matter of chance 18.08.2002

It turns out that new athletic records are most often not set due to new training methods, improved technique, improved sports equipment, or outstanding physical qualities of the athlete. And not even thanks to cunning doping, but just by pure chance.

Daniel Hembris and his colleagues at the research center in Jülich, Germany, collected data from 22 different types of track and field competitions that took place at the German Championships from 1980 to 1989. Information such as the weather and other factors at the venue were also recorded. After that, scientists relied, based on the data array, to predict what records could be set at the same championships in 1990-1999.

Moreover, in their forecasts, they proceeded only from random factors, namely from the state of the weather (temperature on the day of the competition, strength and direction of the wind), as well as the height of the competition place above sea level. When they compared their calculations with the real results of the competition, it turned out that in 18 out of 22 sports, the forecasts coincided with the really set records.

Only four types of competitions did not succumb to random forecasting: 110-meter steeplechase, walking for 20 and 50 kilometers and pole vaulting. Success in these four events is due to improvements in equipment (poles, sports shoes), training methods for athletes, or an increase in the number of participants. A somewhat less random result was obtained when world data on the development of 19 sports were statistically processed: in seven of them, records appeared in a non-random way.
