日本影壇鐵漢高倉健病逝 享年83歲

日本國寶級影帝高倉健，因罹患惡性淋巴腫瘤，上周一(十一月十日)在東京病逝，終年八十三歲。一些日本民眾得知巨星殞落，不禁難過流淚。七十年代末，高倉健主演的《追捕》作為文革之後登陸中國的第一部外國電影，在中國引起巨大的轟動。中國外交部發言人洪磊對高倉健的去世表示哀悼，形容他曾為中日交流作出重要積極貢獻。在日本影壇享有至高無上地位，被譽為「雲上的人」的高倉健，十日凌晨三時四十九分（香港時間上周一凌晨二時四十九分），因罹患惡性淋巴腫瘤病逝於東京一所醫院，其親戚已為他辦完喪禮，葬禮在親人安排下秘密舉行。高倉健所屬的經紀公司表示，他帶着笑容離開人世，表情安詳，醫院工作人員都忍不住流下眼淚。

高倉健生前座右銘是「要走的路，努力往前精進，刻苦耐勞、死而無憾」。他原本準備拍攝下一部戲，但健康情況變差，住院接受治療。

高倉健二十四歲時參加一個經紀公司面試時被在場的東映電影公司星探看中，第二年，他便擔當《電光空手道》的主角，開始嶄露頭角。

倉健出演影片《追捕》，於七八年作為文革後最先登陸中國的外國影片引起轟動，高倉健開始在中國觀眾中擁有極高人氣，被早年的一代觀眾視為銀幕偶像。

高倉健憑新作《給親愛的你》勇奪「最佳男主角」殊榮。

梁詠琪食齋養胎

佗着混血B五個月的梁詠琪（GiGi），現時已變得胃口大好，更因為有老公Sergio和母親悉心照料下，體重足足暴升十多磅！

本刊日前便發現粗身大勢的GiGi，在母親陪同下到銅鑼灣做產檢；至上周四（六日），生了滿面粒粒的她出席活動時，向本刊透露胎兒為B女外，又表示因佗B後仍繼續茹素，缺乏一些所需營養，故要多喝大豆、黑芝麻飲料補充營養，為保持產後可極速收身，GiGi更勤做孕婦瑜伽，不願變做肥師奶。

上周四，懷孕五個月的梁詠琪出席鞋店活動時，滿面豆豆，整個人也脹了一個碼，但她仍幸福地宣布，胎兒為B女，又表示已為女兒想好了幾個英文名字。

梁詠琪（GiGi）佗B至今已五個月，日前她由母親陪同下到銅鑼灣做產檢。當日下午四時許，穿着一身黑色外套、戴着口罩的她，由母親駕車到銅鑼灣，泊好車後，二人便徒步往京華中心，沿途只見GiGi雙手插袋、垂着頭，一臉倦容，梁媽媽則扶實女兒。覆診後，梁媽媽便繼續當柴可夫護送女兒返回西半山聯邦花園的寓所。

日圓暴瀉 港人日本搵銀潮

日本央行出其不意擴大量化寬鬆（QE）規模，狂印銀紙企圖打救奄奄一息的經濟，刺激日股爆升，一度衝上一萬七千點近年新高，本港散戶、基金甚至從未入市炒過日本股樓的市民，都相當亢奮。

日本市場愈燒愈旺，加上六年後東京奧運效應和憧憬當地開賭，港人近年掀起一股炒日本資產搵銀的熱潮。有中產沽出西半山物業後，一口氣豪掃六個日本單位做收租佬；有「日本通」炒東瀛股票，勁賺兩倍。

隔山買牛有如賭局，並無必賺的道理，日圓匯價隨時未見底，港人炒日本股樓，離場時將日圓換回港元，分分鐘「賺價蝕匯率」。投資者戒之在貪，淘金前宜先三思，慎防接下火棒。

上月底，日本央行突然宣布加碼狂印銀紙，日圓匯價應聲下挫，兌港元終告失守「七算」大關。港人愛到日本「血拼」，眼見日圓匯價又再狂瀉，大批市民怕執輸，紛紛湧到兌換店「搶錢」。

上周五中午，記者到「名店」百年找換店觀察，只見輪候人龍排到樓下，相當誇張。周先生一邊在店外點算剛兌換的日圓，一邊興奮說：「之前十算和八算都換過，今次當『溝貨』，遲些去日本旅行實用得着！」

其實何止跟風搶日圓，有見於日本政府出盡法寶搞起經濟，不少港人為免錯失掘金機會，紛紛湧到日本市場尋寶。當中不少人貪日圓愈來愈平，日本樓銀碼又細，加上租金回報動輒達七、八厘，於是膽粗粗追捧日本樓。

火燎森瞓身推介日本樓，認為要捉緊百年一遇的好機會，堅信日本資產會繼續升值。

Bond is back! Director Sam Mendes marks the start of production for the new James Bond film Spectre with the new cast (L-R) Andrew Scott, Ralph Fiennes, Naomie Harris, director Sam Mendes, Lea Seydoux, Daniel Craig, Monica Bellucci, Christopher Waltz, Ben Whishaw, Dave Bautista and Rory Kinnear

BEST BONDS 

DANIEL CRAIG

As he returns for his fourth film, it makes sense to start with Daniel Craig.

The 46-year-old has also starred in 2006's Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace and Skyfall and is the first James Bond actor to be born after the start of the film series back in 1962.

He was the sixth actor to portray 007, taking over from Pierce Brosnan. The British-born actor is also the only Bond to have been born after author Ian Fleming died.

He has been nicknamed 'James Blonde' thanks to his bright hair and won an army of female fans thanks to the now iconic scene that saw him emerging from the sea with tight trunks on.

Reservations were made when he was first cast as Bond but Craig has proved he's worthy of the role and has succeeded in turning Bond into a modern-day hero and sex symbol.

PIERCE BROSNAN 

Pierce Brosnan was Daniel Craig's predecessor and also starred in four of the hit movies: GoldenEye, Tomorrow Never Dies, The World is Not Enough and Die Another Day.

The Irish actor, now 61, was credited with reviving the series after a six year hiatus caused by legal disputes.

His first role was in 1995's GoldenEye, which more than doubled the gross of the previous Bond film in sales. Fans say this was thanks to his acting talents and handsome looks.

TIMOTHY DALTON

Welsh actor Timothy Dalton took on the role of Bond in 1987, replacing Roger Moore.

He starred in The Living Daylights (1987) and Licence to Kill (1989).

Timothy, now 70, was actually approached for a role in On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969) but believed he was too young and turned it down.

ROGER MOORE 

English actor Roger Moore is the longest-serving Bond after taking over the helm from Sean Connery in 1971.

In his twelve years in the role he crammed in seven films: Live and Let Die (1973), The Man with the Golden Gun (1974), The Spy Who Loved Me (1977), Moonraker (1979), For Your Eyes Only (1981), Octopussy (1983) and A View To A Kill (1985).

His first appearance was at the age 45, making Moore, now 87, the oldest actor to play Bond.

SEAN CONNERY 

The first-ever James Bond actor was Sean Connery, with his first film being Dr. No in 1962.

He then starred in From Russia with Love (1963), Goldfinger (1964), Thunderball (1965), You Only Live Twice (1967) and Diamonds Are Forever (1971). In 1983 he returned to the role for the last time in the unofficial James Bond film, Never Say Never Again.

It has been reported that creator Ian Fleming wasn't originally keen on Connery's casting but his girlfriend maintained that he had sexual charisma. Indeed, he went on to become one of Hollywood's most celebrated sex symbols.

不老的傳說 陳美齡

        陳美齡（Agnes）十多歲時已隻身離港到日本發展，其清純樣子、甜美歌聲，以及露出爆牙的可愛笑容，多年如一。Agnes與日籍經理人金子力結婚廿七年，並育有三子，已在日本落地生根。

上星期Agnes專程返港拍廣告，並訴說自己多年來在日本的生活，「頭半年到日本，因溝通的問題，我身邊一個朋友都無，所以會有種寂寞的感覺。直至有小朋友後，我成了一個working mother。雖然好忙，但我真係好enjoy，每日看着他們長大，真係好滿足。」

現時三個兒子都長大了，但為人母親的Agnes，雖經歷過乳癌，但童顏不減，當談及兒子時流露的喜悅，並非只在傳說中才出現。

五色食療養生

雖已達五十八歲之齡，但陳美齡（Agnes）無論皮膚以及身材都依然保養得宜。對於保養心法，她笑說：「我一星期都會煲一、兩次滋潤的湯水，例如花膠煲雞、雪耳玉竹煲豬「月展」以及青紅蘿蔔煲豬「月展」等。而且我每日還會以五色五味的食療法，如我要補肺和補氣，就食多些白色和辣的食物，例如：豆腐、白木耳和白蘿蔔等。所以一定要了解自己身體的弱點，就主力補足。」

如此懂得養生之道的Agnes，難怪至今仍容光煥發，亦成了廣告商的目標，「其實我有二十多年沒在香港拍廣告，加上我已經五十幾歲，還有人找我做護膚品代言人，是一件有鼓勵性的事，所以我真係好開心。最重要是，只要心情開朗，甚麼年紀都會有靚的一面。」

甚多工作和公職在身的陳美齡，坦言最愛當媽媽，因為可看着兒子每日的成長，令她極具滿足的感覺。

obese shortens life

Obesity knocks 20 years of good health off your life and can accelerate death by eight years

• Being obese deprives a person of up to two decades of healthy living
• This is because they are likely to suffer heart disease and diabetes  
• The figures were calculated using a computer model 
• Researchers say this highlights need to eat healthily and take exercise 

Being obese can shorten life by eight years and blight up to two decades with ill-health, warn scientists.

They used a computer model to predict the lifelong toll of being overweight.

Their calculations show that diabetes and heart disease are set to deprive an obese person of up to 19 years of healthy living.

For the very obese, with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 35 or more, between one and eight years of life were likely to be lost.

Overweight people with BMI scores of 25 to 30 were predicted to have their lives shortened by up to three years.

Body mass index (BMI), a measurement relating weight to height, is used to assess whether an individual is overweight.

A healthy or normal weight is a BMI score of 18.5 to 24.99 - above that is a sliding scale to life-threatening fatness.

Between 25 and 29.9 is defined as 'overweight' and a BMI over 30 is defined as clinically obese, although the result may be misleading for sportsmen and women, and pregnant women.

Researchers used data from the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, which combines personal interviews with physical examinations, diagnostic procedures and tests.

The data was run through a disease-stimulation model to estimate the risk of developing diabetes and cardiovascular disease in adults of different body weight.

The effect of excess weight on cutting life short was greatest for the young and fell with increasing age, says the study published in The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology journal.

Obese young adults also suffered the greatest loss in terms of healthy years, compared to people of normal weight.

Professor Grover said: ‘These clinically meaningful calculations should prove useful for obese individuals and health professionals to better appreciate the scale of the problem and the substantial benefits of a healthier lifestyle including changes to diet and regular physical activity.’

Overweight individuals were estimated to lose between 0 and 3 years of life expectancy, depending on their age and gender.

Obese people were estimated to lose between 1 and 6 years, with the very obese losing between 1 and 8 years.

Excess weight also affects the duration of time when people can expect to be free of obesity-associated cardiovascular disease and diabetes.

The study shows being overweight or obese is associated with two to four times as many healthy life-years lost than total years of life lost.

The highest losses in healthy life-years were in young adults aged between 20 and 29 years old, amounting to around 19 years for very obese men and women.
