To mark its 20th anniversary this year, GQ Taiwan has released its October issue, and the covers will blow you away. Countless celebrities from both East and West have graced GQ’s covers over the years and, for the October issue, the magazine has selected 10 covers, featuring a megastar on each one — including Chow Yun-fat, Tom Ford, Tony Leung, Nicholas Tse, Takuya Kimura, Kevin Tsai, David Beckham, Jonathan Lee, Takeshi Kaneshiro and Lin Chih-ling.
The magazine says the 10 celebrities were picked from the large numbers of past covers as they were deemed classic and significant examples and are still being talked about years later, and also because they represent milestones for the magazine over the past two decades.
Meanwhile, GQ China held the 2016 GQ Men of the Year party last month. Actor Hu Ge was named a “GQ Man of the Year.” He gained huge popularity with his role “Mei Changsu” in TV drama Nirvana in Fire.

William I of Prussia, a passionate painter, often autographed his works with “tormentis pinxit” — “painted in pain” — as a nod to his struggles with gout. Other historical figures like King Henry VIII of England and Benjamin Franklin also suffered from this “disease of kings,” which was common among people indulging in luxurious diets. Gout is primarily caused by high levels of uric acid in the body. Uric acid forms as the body breaks down purines, which are found in foods like red meat and seafood. Normally, the kidneys filter out uric acid. However, if the body produces
The UN Ocean Conference wrapped up in Nice, France on Friday last week with world leaders taking major steps toward marine protection and vowing a showdown when nations meet to negotiate rules for deep-sea mining next month.

Despite this, microgravity can cause muscle loss, bone density reduction and cardiovascular changes. As a result, astronauts require extensive rehabilitation upon their return to Earth. In spite of these difficulties, astronauts often describe their experience on the ISS as life-changing. One of the most awe-inspiring aspects of living aboard the space station is the unparalleled view of Earth. Traveling at
