On 23 March 2003, Chuganji became the first Japanese man, as well as the third man in the world and the first since Christian Mortensen's death almost 5 years earlier, to reach age 114.
On the evening of Sunday 28 September 2003, after being served a glass of apple juice by his daughter, Chuganji died of natural causes aged 114 years, 189 days and was the third oldest man ever behind Christian Mortensen and Mathew Beard and the oldest Japanese man ever before 26 October 2011 when Jiroemon Kimura, the second Japanese man to become 114 years old, surpassed his age, and later even Mortensen's age, and (since 111-year-old Norio Kawada's death on 6 June 2003) the only living Japanese male supercentenarian. The first Japanese man to become a supercentenarian after Chuganji's death was Kohachi Shigetaka (10 May 1895 – 3 July 2005); Kameni Nakamura and Minsho Ozawa, who were the oldest living Japanese men after Chuganji and both born in October 1894 and died in 2004, only lived to age 109, as well as Totaro Murakami who succeeded Minsho Ozawa.
Chuganji was succeeded as the oldest living person by Mitoyo Kawate from Hiroshima and as the oldest living man by Spaniard Joan Riudavets.

English-speaking world
Over two billion people speak English. It is the largest language by number of speakers. It is the third largest language by number of native speakers. What this mean is, English is the most widely spoken second language.
The United States of America is the largest English-speaking country, with 300 million native speakers. There are 60 million native speakers in the United Kingdom, 29 million in Canada, 25.1 million in Australia, 4.7 million in the Republic of Ireland, and 4.9 million in New Zealand.
In the European Union, English is one of 24 official languages and is widely used by institutions, and by almost all of the population as the native language in the United Kingdom and Ireland. It is a second language in other member states.
Estimates that include second language speakers vary greatly, from 470 million to more than 2 billion. David Crystal calculates that, as of 2003, non-native speakers outnumbered native speakers by a ratio of 3 to 1. When combining native and non-native speakers, English is the most widely spoken language worldwide.
Besides the main dialects of English, countries such as South Africa, India, Nigeria, the Philippines, Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago have millions of native speakers of dialect continua. These versions range from English-based creole languages to Standard English. Other countries such as Ghana and Uganda also use English as their primary official languages.
India now claims to be the world's second-largest English-speaking country. The most reliable estimate is about 10% of its population or 125 million people, second only to the US. It may be four times larger in the next decade from 2012.

Alpha Persei Cluster
The Alpha Persei Cluster (also known as Melotte 20 or Collinder 39) is an open cluster in the constellation of Perseus.
To the naked eye, the cluster has several blue spectral type B type stars. The most luminous member is the ~2nd magnitude white-yellow supergiant Mirfak, also known as Alpha Persei. Bright members also include Delta, Sigma, Psi, 29, 30, 34 and 48 Persei. The Hipparcos satellite and infrared color-magnitude diagram fitting show the cluster as about ~172 parsecs away from us.
Since the distance by the independent analyses agree, the cluster is an important rung on the cosmic distance ladder. The age of this cluster is about 5070 million years.
Gould Belt
The Gould Belt is a partial ring of stars in the Milky Way. It is about 3000 light years across, tilted toward the galactic plane by about 16 to 20 degrees. It contains many large and bright O- and B-type stars.
The belt may be the local spiral arm to which the Sun belongs. At present the Sun is about 325 light years from the arm's centre. The belt is thought to be from 30 to 50 million years old, and of unknown origin. Benjamin Gould identified it in 1879.
The belt contains bright stars in many constellations including (in order going more or less eastward) Cepheus, Lacerta, Perseus, Orion, Canis Major, Puppis, Vela, Carina, Crux (the Southern Cross), Centaurus, Lupus, and Scorpius (including the Scorpius-Centaurus Association).
Star-forming regions with bright O and B stars make up the Gould Belt. These regions include the Orion Nebula and the Orion molecular clouds, the Scorpius-Centaurus OB Association, Cepheus OB2, Perseus OB2, and the Taurus-Auriga Molecular Clouds.
A theory proposed around 2009 suggests that the Gould Belt formed about 30 million years ago when a blob of dark matter collided with the molecular cloud in our region. There is also evidence for similar Gould belts in other galaxies.
Drosophila subobscura
Drosophila subobscura is a species of fruit fly in the family Drosophilidae. It was originally found around the Mediterranean, but it has spread to most of Europe and the Near East. It has been introduced into the west coasts of Canada, the United States, and Chile.
"D. subobscura", among others in its species group, is a model organism for evolutionary-biological studies. Its genetics and ecology have been studied for over forty years. "D. subobscura" is frequently used in evolutionary-biological studies.
They have served as favorable models ever since Dobzhansky and his colleagues published their influential works in the 1930s and 40s. From its discovery in the Palearctic realm to its colonization of North and South America, it has attracted the interests of scientists. It has provided evidence of its evolution, biology, and ecology.
