(AniWA)

Spoiler:

The Swiss Animal Welfare Act (AniWA) and Animal Protection Ordinance (AniPO) regulate the keeping and breeding of pets and wild animals, as well as the training requirements for their owners and keepers.

Crustaceans, including lobsters, must not be transported directly on ice or in ice water. Crustaceans living in water must be kept in their natural environment. It is therefore prohibited to keep them outside of water

Since crustaceans must be stunned before being killed, lobsters may not be boiled until they have been stunned. The two approved methods of anaesthesia are electricity and the mechanical destruction of the brain, which in lobsters takes the form of multiple nerve centres (ganglia) running along the midline of the body.

In Switzerland, a cat must have daily contact with people or visual contact with other cats if it is kept alone. This regulation is part of the country's strict animal welfare laws to ensure the well-being of pets.

There is a Japanese saying: "A dog will remember three days of kindness for three years, a cat will forget three years of kindness after three days." That makes it all the more important to know what cats need.

Hmmm ...

AniWA seems to be very explicit on the handling of crustaceans. Isopods are crustaceans...

Well, that may be too much of a leap.

Synthetic-aperture radar

In March 2025, an interdisciplinary team of researchers announced a groundbreaking discovery beneath Egypt’s Giza Plateau: a vast complex of underground chambers and shafts extending nearly two kilometers under the famous pyramids . The team – consisting of Professor Corrado Malanga, Dr. Filippo Biondi, and Dr. Armando Mei – utilized advanced radar imaging technology to “see” almost 2 miles (approximately 3 km) below ground without excavation. In the press release, Malanga, Biondi, and Mei unveiled high-resolution 3D radar scans purportedly showing multiple levels of unknown structures hidden deep below the Great Pyramids . These findings could revolutionize our understanding of ancient Egyptian engineering and lend credence to long-standing legends of hidden chambers at Giza.

SAR is a form of radar remote sensing that uses the motion of a radar antenna (often on a satellite or aircraft) to simulate a large antenna aperture, yielding very high-resolution images . In this case, radar satellites – including Italy’s COSMO-SkyMed constellation and data from Capella Space – were used to scan the Giza pyramids from orbit . These satellites operate in the X-band frequency (~9.6 GHz, with ~3 cm wavelength), which provides fine image detail. Typically, radar signals at such high frequency penetrate only a few meters into dry ground at best, meaning conventional SAR would only map surface features . The key innovation by Biondi and Malanga was to overcome this limitation by analyzing micro-vibrations of the structures rather than relying on direct wave penetration .

The book is fantastic, thought not translated
