A Lei Básica de Hong Kong, China (RAE), é a constituição de facto da antiga colónia que foi negociada entre a China e a Grã-Bretanha antes da transferência de soberania em 1997. Ao longo dos 150 anos em que Hong Kong foi uma colónia britânica, a legislação local foi diretamente adoptada a partir das leis do Parlamento e promulgada como ordenanças da Coroa (publicadas nas Gazetas Reais). Desde 1997, as antigas ordenanças continuam a ser o principal estatuto da RAE, tendo quase todas as ordenanças da Coroa sido aprovadas como legislação local pelo Conselho Legislativo (mini-parlamento). O Ministério do Trabalho é o organismo responsável pela definição de políticas e pela aplicação da lei, equivalente ao Health and Safety Executive no Reino Unido. O registo da saúde e da segurança no local de trabalho publicado pelo Governo de Hong Kong tem vindo a melhorar nos últimos 5 anos, mas é ainda muito incipiente e demasiado impreciso para permitir um planeamento estratégico e político de qualidade. O que aconteceu desde 1997 foram águas passadas, a história julgará até que ponto Hong Kong influenciou o êxito económico da China no século XXI e o desenvolvimento geopolítico da região.

La Legge fondamentale di Hong Kong, Cina (SAR) è la costituzione de-facto dell'ex colonia, negoziata tra Cina e Gran Bretagna prima del passaggio di sovranità nel 1997. Durante i 150 anni di Hong Kong come colonia britannica, la legge locale era stata adottata direttamente dagli Atti del Parlamento e promulgata come Ordinanza della Corona (pubblicata nelle Gazzette Reali). Dal 1997 le vecchie Ordinanze sono rimaste lo statuto primario della RAS, mentre quasi tutte le Ordinanze della Corona sono state approvate come legislazione locale dal Consiglio Legislativo (mini-parlamento). Il Dipartimento del Lavoro è l'agenzia politica e di applicazione equivalente all'Health and Safety Executive del Regno Unito. I dati sulla salute e la sicurezza sul lavoro pubblicati dal governo di Hong Kong sono migliorati negli ultimi 5 anni, ma sono ancora agli inizi e troppo imprecisi per poter pianificare strategie e politiche di qualità. Quello che è successo dal 1997 è "acqua passata", la storia giudicherà quanto Hong Kong abbia influenzato il successo economico della Cina nel XXI secolo e lo sviluppo geopolitico della regione.

La loi fondamentale de Hong Kong, Chine (RAS) est la constitution de facto de l'ancienne colonie qui a été négociée entre la Chine et la Grande-Bretagne avant le transfert de souveraineté en 1997. Tout au long des 150 années pendant lesquelles Hong Kong a été une colonie britannique, la législation locale a été directement adoptée à partir des lois du Parlement et promulguée en tant qu'ordonnance de la Couronne (publiée dans les gazettes royales). Depuis 1997, les anciennes ordonnances restent la loi principale de la RAS, la quasi-totalité des ordonnances de la Couronne ayant été adoptées en tant que législation locale par le Conseil législatif (mini-parlement). Le ministère du travail est l'agence chargée de la politique et de l'application de la loi, équivalente à l'agence de santé et de sécurité (Health and Safety Executive) au Royaume-Uni. Les données sur la santé et la sécurité au travail publiées par le gouvernement de Hong Kong se sont améliorées au cours des cinq dernières années, mais elles n'en sont encore qu'à leurs débuts et sont trop imprécises pour permettre l'élaboration d'une stratégie et d'une politique de qualité. L'histoire jugera de l'influence de Hong Kong sur la réussite économique de la Chine au XXIe siècle et sur le développement géopolitique de la région.

Das Grundgesetz von Hongkong, China (SAR), ist die De-facto-Verfassung der ehemaligen Kolonie, die vor der Übergabe der Souveränität im Jahr 1997 zwischen China und Großbritannien ausgehandelt wurde. In den 150 Jahren, in denen Hongkong eine britische Kolonie war, wurde das lokale Recht direkt von den Acts of Parliament übernommen und als Crown Ordinance (veröffentlicht in den königlichen Gazetten) in Kraft gesetzt. Seit 1997 gelten die alten Verordnungen weiterhin als primäres Gesetz des Besonderen Verwaltungsgebiets, fast die gesamte Crown Ordinance wurde vom Legislativrat (Miniparlament) als lokale Gesetzgebung verabschiedet. Das Arbeitsministerium ist die für Politik und Durchsetzung zuständige Behörde, die der Health and Safety Executive im Vereinigten Königreich entspricht. Die von der Regierung Hongkongs veröffentlichten Daten über Sicherheit und Gesundheitsschutz am Arbeitsplatz haben sich in den letzten fünf Jahren verbessert, aber sie stecken noch in den Kinderschuhen und sind zu ungenau, um eine qualitativ hochwertige Strategie und Politikplanung zu ermöglichen. Was seit 1997 passiert ist, ist Schnee von gestern. Die Geschichte wird zeigen, wie sehr Hongkong den wirtschaftlichen Erfolg Chinas im 21.

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.

The fascinating history of the railway between Nuneaton, Coventry and Leamington, illustrated through old and modern pictures.

"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.

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.
