日本112岁老人获“世界最长寿男性”吉尼斯纪录认证 长寿秘诀：保持微笑
 
Chitetsu Watanabe, 112, was presented a certificate by Guinness World Records Japan’s Country manager Kaoru Ishikawa at his nursing home in Niigata, Japan, his hometown. Don’t get angry and keep a smile on your face. That’s the secret to living a long life, according to Chitetsu Watanabe.
Guinness World Records has confirmed that Watanabe is the oldest living man at 112 years, 344 days as of Wednesday. He was born on March 5, 1907, and is the oldest brother to seven children in his family.
He spent 18 years in Taiwan after graduating from agricultural school where he married his wife, Mitsue. He’s the father of five children. Watanabe served in the army toward the end of the Pacific War in 1944. He then returned to Niigata and worked at an agricultural office until he retired.

“飞的”时代来了！空中出租车在新加坡试飞成功 最快2021年投入使用
 
Those dreams of having flying cars when we were younger may finally come true as flying taxis have made their debut on 22 October in Singapore and may be a permanent thing in 2 years.
According to TODAY, an R&D version of the air taxi, the Volocopter 2X, flew for 3 minutes at noon around Marina Bay on 22 October. This debut is part of the Intelligent Transport Systems World Congress that is running from 21 to 25 October at Suntec Singapore Convention and Exhibition Centre. Volocopter’s spokesperson, Ms Helena Treeck, told TODAY that the company hopes to make flying taxis a thing in Singapore by 2021.
The Volocopter is a 2-seater passenger drone that consists of 18 rotors. It can fly up to 30km in one charge. That’s roughly the distance between Jurong East & Punggol. The copter can go up to speeds of 110km/h. And since there are no obstacles or traffic lights in the air, it’s like taking a highway from pickup to destination. The flying taxi can fly unmanned because of an “intelligent operation system”.
