Japanese man travels 4,000 miles to spell ‘marry me’ on Google Earth

He broke the world record for GPS art.

Back in 2008, Yasushi ‘Yassan’ Takahashi wanted to find an original way to propose to his girlfriend. So he went on a journey that took him 4,000 miles (7,163 kilometers) over a period of six months, according to a video posted on Google in 2019.

The art was the words MARRY ME with a heart with an arrow in it at the very end.

In order to write this message in GPS, Takahashi traveled from the island of Hokkaido in the northern part of Japan to the shores of Kagoshima in the southern tip of the country.

Maintaining healthy lifestyle might prevent up to 60% of inflammatory bowel disease cases, suggests new research

Adopting and maintaining a healthy lifestyle might prevent up to 60% of inflammatory bowel disease cases—Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis—finds a large international study, published online in the journal Gut.

The findings prompt the study authors to suggest that subject to further research, particularly in those at high risk of developing these conditions, may be a feasible option for future preventive strategies.

Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD for short, affects an estimated 3 million adults in the U.S. and another 1.3 million in Europe, and diagnoses have been increasing, particularly in newly industrialized countries.
