CNN —Archaeologists working in Peru, assisted by artificial intelligence, have discovered 303 previously unknown giant symbols carved in the Nazca Desert. A geoglyph of a humanoid with a headdress is one of the newly discovered symbols. Deciphering Nazca symbols’ purposeIt’s not clear why the Nazca people made the symbols. The bigger Nazca symbols were near networks of straight lines, squares and trapezoids etched into the earth. “Our findings suggest that their meaning is formed through their combinations,” he said, referring to the way the Nazca geoglyphs are grouped together.

Yoshihiro Uchida, Peerless Judo Coach, Is Dead at 104

Yoshihiro Uchida, the longtime San Jose State University coach who helped establish judo as one of the most popular martial arts in America — and who was widely regarded as the best college judo coach in history — died on June 27 at his home in Saratoga, Calif. The son of Japanese immigrants, Uchida, who went by the nickname Yosh, began coaching judo at San Jose State in the 1940s, while he was still a student there. Americans had long incorporated elements of judo into other combat sports, and returning soldiers from the Pacific Theater brought a new level of interest in martial arts to the country. Uchida, who had been practicing judo since he was 10, despaired over the quality of the training available, especially at the higher levels. Working with a judo coach at the University of California, Berkeley, he established standards for competition, including weight classes, and in 1953 won approval from the Amateur Athletic Union.

TOKYO (AP) — An unmanned lunar spacecraft has captured and transmitted data analyzing 10 lunar rocks, a greater-than-expected achievement that could help provide clues about the origin of the moon, a Japan space agency official said Wednesday. A black-and-white photo transmitted soon after SLIM was reactivated showed the bumpy lunar surface, including six rocks. By comparing the mineral compositions of moon rocks and those of Earth, they could find out if the rocks have common elements, he said. SLIM carried two autonomous probes which were released just before touchdown, recording the landing, surroundings and other lunar data. The landing made Japan the world's fifth country to reach the moon, after the United States, the Soviet Union, China and India.

Japan became the fifth country in history to reach the moon when the Smart Lander for Investigating Moon, or SLIM, touched down on the Moon early on Saturday. Improved accuracy would give scientists access to more of the moon, since probes could be placed nearer to obstacles. One of the lander's main engines lost thrust about 50 meters (54 yards) above the moon surface, causing a harder landing than planned. For the pinpoint landing, Sakai said, he would give SLIM a “perfect score.”“We demonstrated that we can land where we want,” Sakai said. Japan followed the United States, the Soviet Union, China and India to reach the moon surface.

TOKYO (AP) — Japan launched a rocket Thursday carrying an X-ray telescope that will explore the origins of the universe as well as a small lunar lander. The launch of the HII-A rocket from Tanegashima Space Center in southwestern Japan was shown on live video by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, known as JAXA. Also aboard the latest Japanese rocket is the Smart Lander for Investigating Moon, or SLIM, a lightweight lunar lander. The Smart Lander won’t make lunar orbit for three or four months after the launch and would likely attempt a landing early next year, according to the space agency. In February, the H3 rocket launch was aborted for a glitch.

Each of the parents has forked out 14,000 yen ($96) to attend this event, hosted by the matchmaking agency Association of Parents of Marriage Proposal Information. It’s not that Japan, a notoriously work-obsessed nation where time is at a premium, hasn’t tried out the more direct approach to speed-dating, where the youngsters do it for themselves. Japan remains a highly patriarchal society in which married women are often expected to take the caregiver role, despite government efforts to get husbands more involved. But however great the yearning for grandchildren, Miyagoshi says she always emphasizes to parents that their children should come first. No matter how much parents want grandchildren, the children must be willing to have children,” she said.

When Tiffany & Co. reopens its New York City flagship on the corner of Fifth Avenue and 57th Street this spring, following three years of work, visitors will hardly recognize the street-level sales floor famously featured in Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Where dark-green marble and teak columns once surrounded a bank of art deco elevators, a showstopping painting by Jean-Michel Basquiat now hangs. The canvas was chosen especially for the robin’s-egg-blue background that nearly matches Tiffany’s own trademarked blue. It’s an intentionally placed lure—inviting in those tourists who come to re-create Audrey Hepburn’s dreamy window-shopping scene. In the new-look Tiffany, splashy art abounds: A concave, faceted stainless-steel Anish Kapoor wall sculpture in the third-floor wedding and engagement area seems tailor-made for celebratory ring-shopping selfies.

More than a hundred new designs discovered in and around Peru’s ancient Nazca plain and surrounding areas could bring new information to light about the mysterious pre-Columbian artworks that have intrigued scientists and visitors for decades. Jorge Olano, head archaeologist for the Nazca Lines research program, said the new figures averaged between two and six meters (6.56 to 19.7 feet) in length. The purpose of the Nazca lines, which could only be seen from the air, remain a mystery. The figures, iconic vestiges of Peru’s rich history, are about a three-hour drive from the capital Lima. Yamagata University said the research will be used in artificial intelligence-based surveys to help inform the lines’ preservation.

Doan's promotion was one of five changes to the starting line-up from the Germany match, with Miki Yamane coming into the defence in place of Hiroki Sakai. Hidemasa Morita, Yuki Soma and Doan come into midfield with Ao Tanaka, Takefusa Kubo and Junya Ito dropping out, while Ayase Ueda will start up front in place of Daizen Maeda. Costa Rica coach Luis Suarez largely kept faith with the team that suffered a humiliating 7-0 loss at the hands of Spain in their group opener. Gerson Torres comes in for Jewisson Bennette in midfield, while Kendall Waston will line-up in a five-man defence in place of Carlos Martinez.

Prim-ministrul japonez şi organizatorii Jocurilor Olimpice de la Tokyo, amânate anul trecut din cauza pandemiei de coronavirus, şi-au reafirmat, vineri, intenţia de a organiza competiţia în această vară, în ciuda informaţiilor conform cărora guvernul nipon ar fi renunţat deja în secret, informează AFP. "Sunt determinat" să găzduiesc Jocurile Olimpice sigure la Tokyo, ca un semn al "victoriei umanităţii asupra noului coronavirus", a declarat premierul Yoshihide Suga în cadrul unei şedinţe parlamentare, scrie agerpres.ro Într-un comunicat dat publicităţii, comitetul organizator Tokyo-2020 a reamintit totodată, vineri, că "este total concentrat" asupra pregătirilor pentru Jocurile Olimpice (23 iulie-8 august), la unison cu guvernul nipon şi cu oraşul Tokyo, Comitetul Internaţional Olimpic (CIO) şi Comitetul Internaţional Paralimpic (CIP).Conform jurnalului britanic The Times, care a citat, joi, o sursă din cadrul coaliţiei aflate la putere în Japonia, guvernul ar fi decis deja în secret că Jocurile Olimpice sunt imposibil de organizat anul acesta, ţinând cont de recrudescenţa cazurilor de coronavirus, inclusiv în Japonia.Pentru a-şi salva însă imaginea, guvernul ar căuta să se asigure în prealabil că Tokyo va organiza Olimpiada din 2032, viitoarea ediţie disponibilă după cele de la Paris-2024 şi Los Angeles-2028, conform aceleiaşi publicaţii.Însă purtătorul de cuvânt adjunct al guvernului Japoniei, Manabu Sakai, a afirmat că "nimic nu este adevărat'' în articolul publicat de Times, iar preşedintele Comitetului olimpic australian, Matt Carroll, a calificat drept "zvon nefondat" informaţia conform privind anularea JO de la Tokyo. "Vor fi Jocuri foarte diferite, axate în mod special pe sportivi şi competiţiile lor", a spus Carroll.Preşedintele Comitetului Internaţional Olimpic (CIO), Thomas Bach, s-a declarat convins, joi, că Jocurile Olimpice de la Tokyo vor avea loc în această vară, adăugând totodată că "nu există un plan B". "Nu avem în acest moment niciun motiv să credem că Jocurile Olimpice de la Tokyo nu se vor deschide pe 23 iulie pe Stadionul Olimpic din Tokyo", a spus Bach într-un interviu acordat agenţiei nipone Kyodo, cu şase luni înaintea JO. "De aceea nu există un plan B şi de aceea suntem total angajaţi să facem din aceste Jocuri unele sigure şi reuşite", a mai spus preşedintele forului internaţional.Marţi, directorul general al Comitetului de organizare, Toshiro Muto, a afirmat, la rândul său, că responsabilii Tokyo-2020 sunt "inflexibili" în privinţa desfăşurării Jocurilor Olimpice în această vară, nefiind luată în calcul nicio altă variantă.Acesta nu a exclus, însă, posibilitatea ca Jocurile să poată avea loc eventual fără spectatori, în condiţiile în care pandemia de coronavirus continuă să facă ravagii în întreaga lume, inclusiv în Japonia.Cu circa şase luni înaintea ceremoniei de deschidere, spectrul anulării JO a luat amploare în ultimele săptămâni, după ce autorităţile japoneze au impus starea de urgenţă în mai multe regiuni ale ţării, inclusiv la Tokyo şi în zonele adiacente, la fel ca în primăvara lui 2020, atunci când s-a decis de comun acord cu Comitetul Internaţional Olimpic amânarea cu un an a competiţiei.Îngrijoraţi că marele eveniment sportiv ar putea agrava şi mai mult răspândirea locală a virusului, peste 80% dintre japonezi sunt în continuare foarte reticenţi în privinţa organizării JO în acest an, preferând fie o nouă amânare, fie o anulare pur şi simplu, potrivit unui sondaj recent.Taro Kono, un ministru important al guvernului nipon, a recunoscut săptămâna trecută că nimic nu trebuie să fie exclus în privinţa Jocurilor Olimpice.În Japonia, campania de vaccinare va debuta la sfârşitul lunii februarie, însă va fi extinsă la întreaga populaţie abia în luna mai, conform presei locale.Toshiro Muto a repetat, totodată, că organizatorii japonezi şi responsabilii CIO "nu au evocat posibilitatea" de a impune obligativitatea vaccinării pentru sportivii care vor lua parte la Jocurile Olimpice sau pentru spectatori, în cazul în care accesul acestora va fi autorizat.
