AI is about to transform medicine. Here's what you need to know right now. ''The development of AI is as fundamental as the creation of the personal computer. It will change the way people work, learn, and communicate--and transform healthcare. But it must be managed carefully to ensure its benefits outweigh the risks. I'm encouraged to see this early exploration of the opportunities and responsibilities of AI in medicine.''--Bill GatesJust months ago, millions of people were stunned by ChatGPT's amazing abilities -- and its bizarre hallucinations. But that was 2022. GPT-4 is now here: smarter, more accurate, with deeper technical knowledge. GPT-4 and its competitors and followers are on the verge of transforming medicine. But with lives on the line, you need to understand these technologies -- stat. What can they do? What can't they do -- yet? What shouldn't they ever do? To decide, experience the cutting edge for yourself. Join three insiders who've had months of early access to GPT-4 as they reveal its momentous potential -- to improve diagnoses, summarize patient visits, streamline processes, accelerate research, and much more. You'll see real GPT-4 dialogues -- unrehearsed and unfiltered, brilliant and blundering alike -- all annotated with invaluable context, candid commentary, real risk insights, and up-to-the-minute takeaways. Preview a day in the life of a doctor with a true AI assistant. See how AI can enhance doctor-patient encounters at the bedside and beyond. Learn how modern AI works, why it can fail, and how it can be tested to earn trust. Empower patients: improve access and equity, fill gaps in care, and support behavior change. Ask better questions and get better answers with "prompt engineering." Leverage AI to cut waste, uncover fraud, streamline reimbursement, and lower costs. Optimize clinical trials and accelerate cures with AI as a research collaborator. Find the right guardrails and gain crucial insights for regulators and policymakers. Sketch possible futures: What dreams may come next? There has never been technology like this. Whether you're a physician, patient, healthcare leader, payer, policymaker, or investor, AI will profoundly impact you -- and it might make the difference between life or death. Be informed, be ready, and take charge -- with this book.

Dr. Peter Ho-cheung Lee's second poetry chapbook leaves the door to his secret gardens ajar to show the changing seasons of a lost traveler, the process of examining each petal of a shattered flower, and a collage of intimacy, nostalgia, untimeliness, and secrets as it tracks a journey through "pictures taken down" of moments and images, mementos and remnants; a lover's lament and discovery of the sublime, the deftly personal, and the ethereal beauty of loss that is felt, held, and ultimately celebrated.

The Basic Law of Hong Kong, China (SAR) is the de-facto constitution of the former colony that was negotiated between China and Great Britain prior to the handover of sovereignty in 1997. Throughout the 150 years of Hong Kong as a British Colony, the local law had been directly adopted from the Acts of Parliament and enacted as Crown Ordinance (Published in the Royal Gazettes). Since 1997 the old Ordinances remains as the primary statute of the SAR, almost the entire Crown Ordinance was passed as local legislation by the Legislative Council (mini-parliament). The Labour department is the policy and enforcement agency equivalent to the Health and Safety Executive in UK. Workplace health and safety record published by the Hong Kong Government has been improving over the last 5 years, but it is still in its infancy and too imprecise to make quality strategy and policy planning.. What happens since 1997 has been ¿water under the bridge¿, history will judge how much Hong Kong influence the outcome of China economic success in the 21st century and the geo-political development of the region.

"e;Lee does a masterful job of telling the entire and real story of a racing star who overcame numerous obstacles . . . a book that you cannot put down!"e; -Brian Zipse, managing partner of Derby Day RacingOn the morning of the 1979 Belmont Stakes, Spectacular Bid stepped on a safety pin in his stall, injuring his foot. He had impressively won the first two races-the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness-but finished third in the Belmont, most likely due to his injury, making him one win shy of becoming the sport's third straight Triple Crown champion.But that loss did not prevent him from becoming one of horse racing's greatest competitors. After taking two months to recover, the battleship gray colt would go on to win twenty-six of thirty races during his career, with two second-place finishes and one third. He was voted the tenth greatest Thoroughbred of the twentieth century according to Blood-Horse magazine, and A Century of Champions places him ninth in the world and third among North American horses-even ahead of the renowned Man o' War.This horse biography tells the story of the honest and not-so-glamorous colorful characters surrounding the champion-including Bud Delp, the brash and cocky trainer who was distrustful of the Kentucky establishment, and Ron Franklin, the nineteen-year-old jockey who buckled under the stress and pressure associated with fame-and how they witnessed firsthand the splendor and triumphs of Spectacular Bid. Including contemporary newspaper accounts of Bid's exploits and interviews with key players in his story, this is an encompassing look into the legacy of one of horse racing's true champions.

At the present time, when authority for the church's beliefs and actions is the subject of much discussion, this book attempts to look to the authority of God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit, and how these are transmitted within apostolic tradition by word, actions, and writings.

As the cities of the world increasingly come under threat from crisis and disaster, planners are searching for ways to build resilience into the foundations of modern urban centres.This important book provides a comprehensive account of the theory and practice of urban resilience in response to a range of disruptions, including terrorism, climate change and economic crises. It examines how the concepts and principles of resilience exert increasing significant influence over the form and function of planning. Discussing a 'politics of resilience' in which fundamental questions of social and spatial justice are posed, this book examines how urban planners are increasingly tasked with the responsibility of safeguarding the future of urbanised centres and those that live in them. Drawing on international examples and detailed case-studies, this book provides a nuanced account of the uses, and misuses, of resilience and points a way forward for planning activity, from an approach that is too often narrowly technical in focus towards an integrated and adaptable model for coping with risk, crisis and uncertainty. It will make essential reading for students of urban planning and researchers alike.

SOCIOLOGY / ENTHEOGENS Opium. The very sound of the word conjures images of secret rooms in -exotic lands, where languid smokers lounge dreamily in a blue haze of fragrant -poppy smoke, inhaling vapors from long bamboo pipes tilted over the ruby flame of the jade lamp. Yet today very little accurate information is available regarding a custom that for 300 years was central to the lives of millions of people throughout the world. In Opium Culture Peter Lee presents a fascinating narrative that covers every aspect of the Chinese art and craft of smoking opium. Starting with a concise account of opium's long and colorful history and the story of how it came to be smoked for pleasure in China, Lee offers detailed descriptions of the growing and harvesting process; the exotic inventory of tools and paraphernalia required to smoke opium the Chinese way; its transition from a major healing herb to a forbidden substance suppressed by the modern pharmaceutical industry; its connections to the I Ching, Taoism, and Chinese medicine; and the art, culture, philosophy, pharmacology, and psychology of this traditional Asian custom. Highlighted throughout with interesting quotes from literary and artistic figures who were opium smokers, such as Jean Cocteau, Pablo Picasso, Emily Hahn, and Graham Greene, the text is studded with gems of long forgotten opium arcana and dispels many of the persistent myths about opium and its use as a relaxant. PETER LEE was born in Peking, China, in 1936. He studied at the University of California at Berkeley and the Sorbonne in Paris and has worked as a writer, translator, magazine editor, and professor. He now lives in retirement in Thailand.
