LONDON (Reuters) - Tesla’s shift to a magnetic motor using neodymium in its Model 3 Long Range car adds to pres-sure on already strained supplies of a rare earth metal that had for years been shunned because of an export ban by top producer China.Efforts by governments around the world to cut noxious emissions produced by fossil fuel-powered cars is driving de-mand for electric vehicles and the metals used to make them, such as lithium and cobalt which are key ingredients for batteries.Now the spotlight is on neodymium. Sev-eral auto makers already use permanent magnet motors that rely on the metal be-cause they are generally lighter, stronger and more efficient than induction motors that are based on copper coils.But it is the switch to neodymium by Tesla, an auto maker that has staked its future solely on the electric vehicle, that is showing the way the industry is mov-ing and the direction of demand for the rare earth metal.“Some electric car motors use the per-manent magnet technology, probably the most famous is the Tesla Model 3 Long Range. All the other Tesla models — Model X and Model 3 standard — use induction motors,” said David Merriman, a senior analyst at metals consultancy Roskill.Global demand of 31,700 tonnes for neodymium last year already outstripped supply by 3,300 tonnes, he said. Demand was expected to climb to 34,200 tonnes this year and 38,800 tonnes in 2018,

leaving larger deficits.“Tesla’s decision to switch to permanent magnets has completely changed the dynam-ics of the market,” said a source at a fund manager that specializes in metals.The price of neodymium is now about $70 a kg, well below the $500 hit after China held back shipments to Japan in 2010 during a row over disputed islands but it is still 40 percent higher than at the start of 2017.China, which resumed neodymium exports in 2015, imposed strict export quotas across a range of rare earth metal in 2010, saying it wanted to curtail pollution and preserve resources.“People seem to have forgotten China’s export ban. It could happen again. China is really the main producer, no one else has invested as much in rare earths,” a rare earth trader said.Despite their name, rare earths are found in many places around the world, but the pro-cess of extraction is difficult and expensive, as it requires separating multiple different metals from a single deposit. This is unlike the much simpler process, for example, of recovering copper from ore.(For a graphic of Rare Earth Producers click reut.rs/2Fu5HnE)China has invested heavily in the rare earth metals process but its crackdown on min-ing, smelting and other polluting industries is forecast to slow supply. It already helped push the neodymium price to a two-year high of $96 in September.“Rare earth production is as bad as you can get in terms of environmental damage,” the trader said. “China used its dominant position before, what’s to stop it doing so again?”Such supply concerns are encouraging au-

tomakers to search for ways of cutting down neodymium use. Toyota Motor Corp (7203.T) said last month it had found a way to cut use of the metal in electric motors by about a fifth.The Japanese firm said it had developed a magnet which replaced some of the neodym-ium with more abundant and cheaper rare earths — lanthanum and cerium. Toyota aims to use the magnets in electric vehicle motors within the next 10 years.Other manufacturers of electric vehicles that use permanent magnets include BMW BMWG, Nissan (7201.T) and Geely (0175.HK).

Several companies produce rare earth metals out-side China, including London-listed Rainbow Rare Earths (RBWR.L), Canada-listed Namibia Rare Earths (NRE.V) and Australia’s Spectrum Rare Earths (SPX.AX).But, for now, auto makers making permanent mag-net motors remain heavily reliant on China, which according to Roskill accounted for 85 percent of global output of rare earth oxide estimated at 161,700 tonnes in 2017.Morgan Stanley analysts estimate electric vehicles will total 50,000 units in 2020 or 2.3 percent of the total, rising to 400,000 in 2025 or 17.4 percent, and 975,000 in 2030 or 40.9 percent.

Oil down 1 percent on continued concerns over U.S. outputNEW YORK (Reuters) - Oil prices fell on Monday as investors grappled with ongoing concerns over rising U.S. output and tight OPEC supply, while last week’s data showing speculators cut bets on oil suggested more selling could be seen.Brent crude futures LCOc1 were down 63 cents, or 1 percent, by 1:32 p.m. EDT (1732 GMT), to $64.86 per barrel.U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures CLc1 fell 80 cents, or 1.3 percent, to $61.24 per barrel.Hedge funds and money managers have pared their bullish wagers on U.S. crude oil, with long positions falling last week for the first time in three weeks. Gross short positions on the New York Mercan-tile Exchange 3067651MSHT climbed to their highest level in nearly a month.

That has undercut some of the enthusiasm for oil, as investors weigh increased U.S. supply against the likelihood that the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and non-OPEC producers will maintain supply cuts that have been in effect for more than a year.“The market continues to flip back and forth on the idea that increased global demand and a production cut is going to support prices... but U.S. production, and North American production levels in general, is going to negate a lot of the impact of that,” said Gene McGillian, director of market research at Tradition Energy.Energy services firm Baker Hughes said on Friday that energy companies last week cut oil rigs for the first time in almost two months.

Zanganeh said OPEC could agree in June to begin easing current oil pro-duction curbs in 2019, the Wall Street Journal reported.Also on Sunday, Saudi officials told their British counterparts that they would be delaying the initial public offering of Saudi Aramco until 2019.This week’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) release, given its potential im-pact on the dollar, could end up being critical, said Bill Baruch, president of Blue Line Futures in Chicago. The dollar tends to have an inverse relationship with the price of oil, as a weaker greenback makes dollar-de-nominated commodities cheaper for holders of other currencies.

LOCAL NEWSLiberty County sues Arkema for $1 million over Harvey disaster

By Keri Blakinger

Liberty County jumped into an ongoing legal fray Fri-day when it filed a $1 million lawsuit against Arkema over the chemical fires that wreaked havoc at its Crosby plant in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey.The legal claim comes months after first responders and Harris County also filed high-dollar suits against the chemical company. The latest claim alleges air and water contamination spilled over into neighboring Lib-erty County, violating the Texas Clean Air Act, Texas Water Code, health and safety codes, and creating a public nuisance.“Arkema caused an unreasonable interference with rights common to the Liberty County general public,” says the suit filed by attorneys Mo Aziz and Earnest Wotring. Specifically, the suit faults the company for overflowing wastewater tanks that may have mingled with floodwaters.“Rainwater accumulated in two wastewater tanks at the Site until the tanks overflowed into their containment dikes, which subsequently also exceeded their capacity,”

the suit says. “The wastewater contents thus mingled with floodwaters on the rest of the property, contami-nating water in Liberty County.”With the wastewater overflow came unpermitted air releases, including “thousands of pounds of chemi-cals,” lawyers claim. “These included releases of ethyl-benzene, mineral spirit, naphtha, naphthalene, organic peroxide, 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene, tertbutyl alcohol, and unspecified volatile organic compounds.”About 300 homes were evacuated and more than 30 people hospitalized — including law enforcement — when trailers of volatile chemicals erupted into flames after the plant lost power and generators in th subdivision in the aftermath of Tropical Storm Harvey on Wednesday, Aug. 30, 2017, in Houston.The first of nine trailers of organic peroxides exploded on the morning of Aug. 31, leaving a 40-foot plume of black smoke trailing over the northeast Harris County town. The fires came days after the French company’s Crosby Eastgate plant lost power when six feet of floodwaters drenched the facility.The loss of power knocked out the cooling system needed to keep the heat-sensitive organic peroxides

COMMUNITYA rural school district has joined nearly 200 other Texas school districts in arming their employees to protect students under a “Guard-ian” program.Last Monday, the Fayetteville Independent School District announced its new safety plan. Signs went up that read: “Please be aware that the staff at Fayetteville ISD may be armed and will use whatever force is necessary to protect our children.”The school district, which claims less than 250 enrolled students, houses all grades K-12 on one campus. Fayetteville is situated almost halfway between Austin and Houston and is so tiny it does not have a local police force, only a county sheriff. It also does not employ school resource officers.In a letter to Fayetteville families, Superin-tendent Jeff Harvey wrote that, in light of the many recent events, schools are “being forced to prepare for the unthinkable — the potential of a school shooting.” Harvey cited the Park-land, Florida, massacre but also clarified their Guardian program was already in the works. In fact, Fayetteville ISD school board records show trustees discussed this issue at their Jan-uary 15, 2018, meeting. They changed local board policy allowing them to implement the program.

“We have gone through this process since it became a discussion at our school board about eight-and-a-half months ago,” said Harvey. He told KVUE: “We came back in January, put it up as an action item and the board agreed to unanimously begin our ‘Guardian’ program.”In his letter, Harvey noted that these guardians, undisclosed staff members who volunteer for the program, will have “the right to carry a concealed handgun on school grounds.” He emphasized that these “hand-selected” school board approved guardians must hold a License to Carry (LTC) permit and undergo rigorous vetting. They must pass a series of require-ments including police grade psychological testing, qualify annually with the specific handgun they carry, comply with and pass random drug testing, and be trained in tactics that deny intruder entry into a classroom or facility.“So, may you carry a concealed handgun or open carry?”, wrote Harvey, who made clear that other than approved guardians, Fayette-ville ISD will remain a gun free zone. “No. No students, parents, nor most staff will be allowed to carry. Only those who have met all the requirements will be allowed to carry.”The superintendent also told KVUE the goal of the program was not to create vigilante teach-ers. He called the guardians “a protection for each and every student in this school district.” Fayetteville ISD intends to utilize guardians as back up to their normal lockdown procedure. He said this will empower certain teachers and staff to fight back in a worst-case situation.

“We have numerous folks on staff that have military backgrounds.” Harvey said: “Every-one here believes in that sense of protective-ness of their kids. Each one of these kids is ours. We treat them like they’re our own and we want to make sure we’re prepared to do whatever it takes to protect them.”

Breitbart Texas reported that Harrold ISD was the state’s first school district to institute the Guardian program in 2007. It permits trained and approved school personnel with a Texas Concealed Handgun License (CHL) to carry a weapon on campus to protect students. The Guardian program is authorized under Texas Government Code 411.1901. This program appeals to small, rural school districts that do not have a police force or are not close to local law enforcement. A similar Marshal plan w as the result of the 2013 Protection of Texas Children Act. It allows concealed handguns on otherwise “gun free” public school campuses; however, the Marshal program does not apply to schools with less than 400 students.KVUE spoke to several parents, all of whom agreed with arming campus guardians. One mother said: “This is the only campus. We’re

really small. So when we call 9-1-1…we’re not going to have the law enforcement that we need here in five minutes.”Conversely, the Texas American Federation of Teachers (AFT), a chapter of the second larg-est teachers union in the nation, the American Federation of Teachers, opposes Guardian and Marshal programs.

Arming Teachers Unsettling To Some Minorities

The latest school safe-ty proposals have been

met with fear in black and brown communities

The recent school shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School has renewed the debate about high national rates of gun violence and what to do about it. But as the debate has settled along the typical partisan divisions, one idea has emerged: Arming teachers could make schools safer.

“If you had a teacher who was adept with the firearm, they could end the attack very quickly,” President Trump said during a Feb-ruary 21 listening session with students and parents affected by school shootings. He also proposed paying armed teachers “a little bit of a bonus.”Shifting the conversation away from gun control to focus on arming teachers and staff is arguably a distraction from confronting the causes of school shootings and gun violence. “In any other country in the world, the idea of arming teachers with guns in classrooms to protect children would be seen as the policy equivalent to random screaming,” Vox’s Ger-man Lopez wrote recently. “Yet in the United States, it’s an idea that now has support.”Tweet From President Trump

Donald J. Trump

Armed Educators (and trusted people who work within a school) love our students and will protect them. Very smart people. Must be firearms adept & have annual training. Should get yearly bonus. Shootings will not happen again - a big & very inexpensive deterrent. Up to States.12:54 PM - Feb 24, 2018Still, allowing teachers and other school employees to carry guns in schools isn’t en-tirely new —several school districts in Tex-as, for example, already allow teachers with concealed carry permits to bring guns into schools, and similar policies have been con-sidered or implemented in school districts in Ohio, Indiana, and California in recent years.But legislation is currently under consider-ation in states like Florida, Tennessee, and in a school district in Kentucky, raising a discus-sion about how arming teachers could actual-ly play out in America’s classrooms, especial-ly for teachers and students of color.

“It’s another layer to the conversation about how racialized the debate around gun vio-lence can be,” the Washington Post’s Eugene Scott noted last week. “The current conversa-tion about school safety appears to have more black Americans drawing attention to the consequences arming teachers could have in schools where implicit biases exist.”There’s a broader issue magnified by the in-tensity of reactions to the Parkland shooting: When it comes to gun violence, race and the unique needs of communities of color are still

being overlooked in the national conversa-tion.For teachers of color, arming themselves could come with riskThe concerns that come with arming teachers are twofold. First, how would such a measure affect black students, a group that is already much more likely to face disproportionately harsh discipline in schools? And second, how would it affect teachers of color, especially black teachers, given the rates of black men and women wounded or killed in officer-in-volved shootings?There’s isn’t any data out there that gives a clear picture of how people of color would be affected by arming teachers. But given broad-er trends, it is possible to make some reason-able guesses.

For example, research from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, has shown that when participants were asked are asked to offer split-second reactions to images of weapons or tools after being shown a black or white face, people identify a weapon faster when shown a black face first.A 2005 University of Colorado study, repli-cating an experiment that has been conducted by other researchers, found that forcing sub-jects to react in a split-second to a potentially armed person meant participants would move to shoot armed black individuals faster and more often than armed whites and take more time to determine to not shoot an unarmed black person than an unarmed white person.These examples, and others, suggest that race influences how people identify the presence of a weapon, even if said weapon isn’t actu-ally there. In a scenario involving an armed teacher of color, these factors would likely be at play: A teacher could, in a split second, look like a shooter, instead of a protector of the students in their care.When discussing how arming teachers could affect educators of color, many have noted the case of Philando Castile, a Minnesota school cafeteria worker and licensed gun owner who was shot and killed by a police officer during a police stop in July 2016. The officer said that he shot Castile, who had already informed the officer that he was carrying a legal weapon, because he believed Castile was reaching for his gun.Teachers of color have expressed concern that instances like this, or ones where they would be mistaken for an active shooter, would only become more likely if they carried a weapon inside schools.It isn’t wrong to want schools and class-rooms to be safe for students. But it requires an acknowledgement that for many students, schools have never been safe. (Courtesy https://www.vox.com/identities/

BUSINESSThe deadly school shooting this month in Parkland, Florida, has ignited nation-al outrage and calls for action on gun reform. But while certain policies may help decrease gun violence in general, it’s unlikely that any of them will pre-vent mass school shootings, according to James Alan Fox, the Lipman Fami-ly Professor of Criminology, Law, and Public Policy at Northeastern.Since 1996, there have been 16 multiple victim shootings in schools, or incidents involving 4 or more victims and at least 2 deaths by firearms, excluding the as-sailant.Of these, 8 are mass shootings, or inci-

dents involving 4 or more deaths, ex-cluding the assailant.“This is not an epidemic”Mass school shootings are incredibly rare events. In research publishing lat-er this year, Fox and doctoral student Emma Fridel found that on average, mass murders occur between 20 and 30

times per year, and about one of those incidents on average takes place at a school. Fridel and Fox used data collected by USA Today, the FBI’s Supplementary Homicide Report, Congressional Re-search Service, Gun Violence Archive, Stanford Geospatial Center and Stan-

ford Libraries, Mother Jones, Every-town for Gun Safety, and a NYPD re-port on active shooters.Their research also finds that shooting incidents involving students have been declining since the 1990s.Four times the number of children were killed in schools in the early 1990s than today, Fox said.“There is not an epidemic of school

shootings,” he said, adding that more kids are killed each year from pool drownings or bicycle accidents. There are around 55 million school children in the United States, and on average over the past 25 years, about 10 students per year were killed by gunfire at school, according to Fox and Fridel’s research.Fox said, however, some policy chang-es aimed at decreasing school shootings

and gun violence in general certainly have merit. Banning bump stocks and raising the age of purchase for assault rifles from 18 to 21 are good ideas, and may lead to a decrease in overall gun vi-olence, he said. But he doesn’t believe these measures will prevent school shootings. “The thing to remember is that these are extremely rare events, and no matter what you can come up with to prevent it, the shooter will have a work-around,” Fox said, adding that over the past 35 years, there have been only five cases in which someone ages 18 to 20 used an assault rifle in a mass shooting.

Fridel said increasing mental health re-sources for students is another strategy that might improve school safety, call-ing this a critical need that has been his-torically overlooked. She also said that the U.S. is facing a desperate shortage of guidance counselors. In 2014-15, the student-to-school counselor ratio was 482-to-1, according to the American School Counselor Association, nearly twice the organization’s recommended ratio.“You might have students in a very large school who are troubled but who are basically flying under the radar, be-cause you have one guidance counselor for 400 students,” Fridel said.Should schools become fortresses?After the Columbine High School shooting in 1999, schools across the country began holding active shooter drills in which they huddled together in a corner or hid under their desks. Such exercises—which may include some-one walking around pretending to shoot students—can be very traumatic, Fridel said, and there is no evidence that they help protect students. “These measures just serve to alarm students and make them think it’s something that’s com-mon,” she said.Other safety precautions, such as in-stalling metal detectors and requiring ID cards for entry, have also proven in-effective in past school shootings.In addition to being ineffective, Fox said increased security measures of these kinds can do more harm than good. He called the suggestion to arm teachers “absurd” and “over the top.”“I’m not a big fan of making schools look like fortresses, because they send a message to kids that the bad guy is coming for you—if we’re surrounding you with security, you must have a bull’s-eye on your back,” Fox said. “That can actual-ly instill fear, not relieve it.” (Courtesy https://news.northeastern.edu/2018)

文藝會議全國政協十三屆一次會議文藝界小組會

議，12日在北京舉行，圖為劉家成委員（左）、成龍委員（中）和劉小東委員交談。 中新社

香港文匯報訊（記者 梁靜儀、李慶全）香港電影工作者總會春茗晚宴12日晚舉行，出

席者包括古天樂、林家棟、姜皓文、毛舜筠、鄧麗欣、方力申、凌文龍、邵音音、任

賢齊及鄧月平等。古仔專心為演藝人協會工作，而鄧麗欣則難得性感亮相，二

人都對角逐金像與影帝影后各有想法。

以新一任香港演藝人協會（演協）會長身份出席晚

宴的古天樂，跟演協新一屆理事王君馨、王梓軒等合照，古仔透露當選會長後已有些新方案，並已跟不同界別人士見面。他也和新一輩歌手傾談過，希望在歌影視方面也有所改動，得以年輕化，希望在創作上幫到個會，令未來路向清晰一點，對大家的工作也有得着。另外，古仔提到年紀大的一班前輩也需要醫療上的幫助。

副會長及幹事分擔會務問到自當上會長後，會員有否增

加？古仔表示之前有些會員失去了聯絡，也擔心他們有問題而演協不知道，現都由專人去跟進，會逐步來，估計要花半年去處理。現時古仔大部分時間都用來重新建立會務，不過之後自己都要開戲，他說：“會務一個人是做不完的，幸好有副會長和一班幹事幫手，也沒壓力盡力去做好個會！”

古仔憑《殺破狼．貪狼》提名金像獎最佳男主角，他對此說：“好開心，但一切也是命運安排，會抱平 常 心 看

待。其實入圍已是一個肯定。”又指該片是他入行以來打得最多的一部戲，難度很高，他答謝洪金寶悉心教導，所以也沒給動作戲嚇怕。至於提名對手，每位古仔都覺得是勁敵，他笑言也會趁12日晚晚宴講兩句，為自己拉票。

已大個女可以性感示人鄧麗欣（Stephy）與前度方力申同

場，但大會沒安排二人合照，而她穿上大V加背部透視的服裝亮相，覺得自己已大個女適合性感。問是否為金像獎預演？Stephy笑說：“金像獎的衫以靚為主，都看過一些性感的，什麼部位也會露，但靚得來不失大方得體。”她坦言提名最佳女主角暫時仍未懂緊張，不過之前電影評論學會拿獎後，與影帝倉田保昭慶祝生日。她指倉田老師好玩得，還說她拿獎比自己拿獎更開心，所以請他首次去吃壽包。今次對手中，Stephy最喜歡周迅和

張艾嘉，至於自己的角色最難演之處是演出前要將自己掏空，拍那時也沒想太多，希望大家會覺得今次她夠“新鮮”。

邵音音透露，亞洲影后李菁的身後事已辦妥，因李菁家人日前赴港到警局辦理後事。邵音音說：“因李菁出事時有人報警，所以也要到警局搞了三、四日，她的家人今晚（12日晚）就離開香港。”又提到李菁住所的業主要求清理遺物，由於她

生前貪靚又愛買東西，故留下不少物件並發出異味，結果大部分要丟棄。音音姐指李菁家屬其實很久沒與她聯絡，出事當日收到警局來電也很害怕，邵氏有見及此亦有出錢及協助辦其後事，但音音姐自言非經她手，所以詳情不便講太多。李菁姪女李炯12日晚離港前，亦接受傳媒電話訪問表示李菁經已火化安葬。

林家棟以演協副會長身份出席，並兼任晚會司儀及統籌，找來王梓軒、小肥、Brian@24味、Phat@24味、阿正@Rub-berband等會員演出。至於今年晚宴主題是推薦新編劇，家棟笑言自己也算是半個編劇，像在影視博覽中也有一、兩部戲幫手“落筆”寫故事。對於今年他有份提名金像獎最佳男配角，他坦言信心一半半，當中覺得秦沛勁，倉田保昭則剛拿了電影評論學會影帝。問會否想集齊男主角、男配角等全套獎項？家棟笑言若有的話，作為演員也算是很圓滿的。

毛舜筠（毛毛）與凌文龍在《黃金花》中合演母子，12日晚二人也一同出席晚宴，凌文龍好開心及驚喜首度提名影帝，但心情未算太緊張。毛毛則表示會在晚會拉票環節上落力拉票，對於業內人看好她，她即笑說：“如以年齡排隊來計，就應該到我！”不過她自覺角色難演有挑戰性，也認為凌文龍得新人獎也是實至名歸，男主角則要排排隊。

香港文匯報訊（記者 李思穎）肥媽Maria和陸浩明（六號）主持的烹飪節目《食好D食平D》，12日在電視城進行拜神儀式。今次已是《食平D》系列的第七輯，過往主力教觀眾以便宜價錢煮出好味家常菜，今次則會教大家以基本價錢煮出貴價菜式。肥媽指以前只是用50元（港元，下同）買餸，這次會升價十倍，用500元炮製四餸一湯，可嚐到花膠松露雲吞雞、黑松露炒蛋、龍蝦、鮑魚等名貴菜式。不過之前買慣便宜菜，現在肥媽要花光500元有點難度，很多時都用不完，六號笑言：“終於有錢可以儲。”

六號和肥媽合作無間，後者笑住指罵他

變得很嘴刁，吃完還呻要去做運動。

罵六號食完唱大家指六號食極都不肥，肥媽即說：

“他毫無進展，不結婚又不生仔，食得多也是浪費。”六號笑說：“我會將所有儲在腎裡，會‘一擊即中’，時下很多人都未婚先生B。”肥媽大罵六號：“看他！就是食完呻、食完唱這種人，好鬼衰不娶人。他更說要給我罵才會紅，真的是出爐鐵，不能不打！”

肥媽在新春期間，忙着登台和陪老公打高爾夫球，一下子瘦了20磅，現已回升10磅。同時她透露第15個孫仔趕及在雞年年底出世，笑言可能不想做狗仔犯太歲。

香港文匯報訊（記者梁靜儀）方力申（小方）12日現身電台，被節目主持人李居明批命。小方笑稱原想問事業，但師傅就側重了以感情為主，更批他的真命天女將於 2020 年鼠年出現，還有機會閃婚！

小方指師傅批他的真命女友，應該會在水上認識，對方可能從事股票或旅遊等行業，年紀或比他大。當說到可能是辣妹時，小方即認為沒可能，因自己忌火。又稱師傅指他50歲後有桃花，即使結了婚也會暗中有情人，對此小方說：“師傅一開始就話我為人正氣正直，但再講落去愈講愈衰，我怕會影響我在粉絲心中的形象。”

香港文匯報訊 曾與吳千語交往的林峯，二人的關係早已被指轉淡，連農曆年也是各顧各，外界即不看好這段戀情。近來林峯與家人到香港的主題樂園暢玩，被發現同行有位長髮姑娘在左右，經網民“人肉搜查”後得悉那女子是名為張馨月（Cari-na）的模特兒，今年24歲，細過林峯足足14年，她贏過2010年全國時尚內衣模特兒大賽亞軍，亦常在微博等發放性感照片。其中她的泳裝照相當惹火，但腋下疑有傷痕，其胸部可能經過“加工”。有網民對照過林峯在暢遊樂園的相近時間，

同樣身處樂園的張馨月放上社交網的照片，發現相中她的手機殼和平時使用的相同，推斷Carina當時應是和林峯同行；不過她的照片並未能見到林峯。對於這名新歡，林峯的公司方面表示不予回應，而吳千語那邊也不願多提，相信“舊人離場，新人上場”大概已成定局。

顧長衛《遇見妳真好》曝終極海報全陣容同框暢想懷舊青春

蔣雯麗造型又亮了蔣雯麗造型又亮了

由顧長衛執導的青春懷舊喜劇《遇見妳真好》今日曝光終極海報以

及多張劇照，全陣容首次同框。海報中氫氣球懸著餐刀漂浮在蔚藍的天

空之中，幾位主演歡樂的“坐在”刀背之上，隨著氣球與餐刀翺翔於天

空之中，預示著青春的自由狂想，而傾斜的餐刀也代表著逃離不開的現

實“引力”。

電影《遇見妳真好》由白客、藍盈瑩、張海宇、周楚濋、曹駿、王

玉雯、蔣易、李晨暉主演，範明、蔣雯麗特別出演，該片將於3月29日

登陸全國院線。

電影《遇見妳真好》改編自孔龍的原創小說，講述了“高四”紫

荊復讀學校中的三重愛情趣事：夢想成為作家的張文生遇見珊妮，兩人

在互損中萌生情愫，好友陳奇卻誤認為文生橫刀奪愛；“壞學生”青龍

追求校花淩彩彩，被暗中護花的“閃電”阿虎從沈默中爆發而擊敗；青

龍將陳奇帶去酒館的巨型煙花肆意發泄，不料引發火災，並成為小彌與

謝倫尷尬邂逅的導火索......

值得壹提的是，導演顧長衛為該片融入了自己慣用的懷舊特質。顧

長衛曾參與過20世紀中國電影中最富懷舊特質的壹批巔峰作品，其執導

的《孔雀》、《立春》、《最愛》等片彌漫性的懷舊情結更成為其標誌

性的風格。

如今在《遇見妳真好》中，“懷舊”依舊是電影的主打風格，無論

是海報中身穿不同款式復古校服的角色，還是電影中“高四”成年的他

們在荷爾蒙沖動下誕生的愛情趣事，該片在顧長衛的懷舊現實主義風格

下，青春的質感也是壹大看點。

休城工商

(記者韋霓休斯頓報導) 人們稱頭髮為三千煩惱絲，三千煩惱絲若真的變太少，的確會令人煩腦，掉頭髮本是正常的事，特別是在洗頭、梳頭、與吹頭髮的時候，但如果掉髮數量過多，而且掉髮情況持續嚴重發生，那麼就要小心禿頭的可能性了。您身邊的家人或是自己，是否有以下的情形出現？梳頭髮時，掉髮的情況勝於過往？洗頭時，地上掉有很多頭髮？感覺頭頂漸變稀疏？若有上述情況，應該及早加以正視。

掉髮或是禿頭的原因是什麼？一、 環境汙染: 現代人無論內外，身體都受

到許多化學物質的汙染，例如像劣質的洗髮精、潤髮乳、染髮劑，汙染的空氣、水，都會造成身

體器官負荷量過重，堵塞毛囊，引起掉髮。二、 過重的壓力: 生活與工作的巨大壓力，

會影響頭皮健康和頭髮生長，歷史上流傳伍子胥過昭關，一夜之間愁白了頭，並非虛言，過重的壓力可能會讓身體出現系統性或局部性的發炎，而發炎會產生許多自由基，加速白髮或落髮。

三、 飲食不正常:當飲食不當，身體無法獲得需要的營養，就會有脫髮的可能性。舉例來說，缺乏鐵質與蛋白質，頭髮就會變黃與分叉；缺乏維生素B群時，頭髮會出現脂溢性皮炎，也更易有脫落現象；當蛋白質、維生素A、植物油、和碘不足時，頭髮會變得沒有光澤、容易斷。

四、 藥物: 使用某些特定藥物、或是接受化療、甲狀腺機能低下等，都可能造成落髮。

五、 遺傳: 雄性禿頭是男性常見到的落髮原因，造成的因素可能是遣傳與男性荷爾蒙不調。

六、 其他原因: 內分泌失衡、免疫功能障礙、缺乏運動、細菌感染、吸煙、長期睡眠不足等因素，都可能促成禿頭的發生。頭髮會展現訊號，生活裡隨處能有機會覺察到，例如，頭皮發癢、髮質不夠順滑，生長變得緩慢，發覺頭皮及髮根的位置出現變化，頭皮屑比以往多很多等，都要及早正視。身體是個有機體，當某個部分失去平衡，都會有訊號出現，提醒您要留心，當落髮情況嚴重，就是身體機能異常的內在訊息了。

位於百利大道的Euphoria Beaute專門解決掉髮的困擾，為禿頭的男性或女性治療脫髮，使用

純天然草本治療，為頭皮排毒，清潔並打通毛囊，讓頭髮重新生長。同時協助頭髮的健康，當頭髮健康了，內在循環良好，白頭髮也會減少。

Euphoria Beaute的負責人Cheri表示，要解決脫髮的困擾，包括正確地清潔頭皮，不讓毛囊阻塞，加強身體血液循環，加強頭髮的營養，讓髮根細胞保持活力等， Euphoria Beaute使用天然有機的草本產品讓頭髮更健康，幫助頭髮不輕易掉落，約六次到十次的療程，頭髮就能有效地恢復生長，加上客戶調整生活作息，改善情況都讓人非常滿意。

要預防禿頭，Cheri 建議生活細節一定得注意，不僅讓頭髮更健康，也讓身體更有精神、內在循環更順暢，包括: 充足的睡眠、平衡適當的飲食、不要過勞工作、不累積太多壓力、保持適量運動、注意日常清潔、維持平和的心境。

一位Euphoria Beaute的客人表示，自己之前大量掉頭髮，前額只剩下稀稀落落的頭髮，治療之後，頭髮開始越長越粗，髮量也慢慢變多，現在能看到不斷有新生頭髮長出來，效果讓自己非常滿意。

(本報訊) 在據信是迄今為止最大規模的胰腺癌全基因組關聯性研究中，約翰•霍普金斯金梅爾癌症中心（Johns Hopkins KimmelCancer Center）和國家癌症研究所的研究人員以及來自全球80多個其他機構的合作者發現了人類基因組中五個新區域的變化，可能會增加胰腺癌的風險。

這些新發現代表了向完全了解導致胰腺癌風險的所有遺傳變化的又一進步。研究人員說，該發現很重要，因為更好地了解胰腺癌的疾病發展會導致更有針對性的治療和早期檢測篩查方法的建立。在美國和歐洲，胰腺癌是導致癌症死亡的主要原因之一，預計到2020年它將導致每年近15萬人死亡。

該研究的負責人，約翰•霍普金斯大學索爾高德曼胰腺癌研究中心（Sol Goldman Pancreatic Cancer Research Center）的成員AlisonKlein, Ph.D., MHS說：“對於這些最新鑑定的遺傳變體（位於人類染色體1（位置1p36.33），染色體7（位置7p12），染色體8（位置8q21.11），染色體17（位置17q12）和染色體18（位置18q21.32），基因組中每存在一個拷貝，胰腺癌的風險就會增加15％至25％。該研究團隊先前還報導了位於13個遺傳區域的17個變體。

這項發現於2月8日在《自然通訊》雜誌（Nature Communica-tions）上發表，其中包括來自胰腺癌群組聯盟（PanScan）和胰腺癌病例對照聯盟（PanC4）的祖先來自於歐洲的9,040名胰腺癌患者和12,946 名健康人員的遺傳信息。科學家分析了這 21,536 人中超過1130萬個遺傳變體。

腫瘤學，病理學和流行病學教授Klein說：“在個人層面上，其中某一個變體並不能夠預測癌症，因為它們僅會導致不大的風險變化，但當它們結合一起，便會有助於更全面地了解胰腺癌的發病過程。”

Klein說，其中一個新的變體發現於NOC2L（一種直接與腫瘤蛋白p53結合的蛋白質），而p53是胰腺癌的主要驅動基因之一。此外，它還能與另一種稱為p63的腫瘤抑制基因結合。在之前的工作中，Klein和其同事發現p63基因變體與胰腺癌風險增加有關。現已知道HNF4G和HNF1B基因（稱為參與調節細胞生長的肝細胞生長因子）中的變體在胰腺調節和癌症發展中會起作用。 HNF1B的變體也與年輕人的成熟型糖尿病有關，這是一種25歲或更年輕人群中的家族型糖尿病。

其它變體發現於與胃腸激素釋放相關的GRP基因附近，以及與細胞粘附和遷移的調節以及可能的細胞轉移相關的基因TNS3中。

Klein說，胰腺癌是美國癌症相關死亡的第三大原因，也是歐洲的第五大致死原因。 ，該病雖然致命，但其發病率相對較低，美國每年新增約55,000例診斷。因此需要大規模的研究合作（如本研究）來產生充足的研究數據。

後續研究將會深入研究胰腺癌的遺傳特性。 Klein表示：“還有很多我們仍不知道的有關胰腺癌風險的遺傳因素。”
