Twins send trophy to Andy


Andy Lau was very touched

Twins come to cheer on Andy

　　The first performance table of the 2010 music industry "New Town Madden Music Awards Ceremony" was distributed on the evening of the 29th. Andy Lau, who was holding a solo concert, won the "World Madden Most Popular Supreme Singer" award. Although he could not appear at the awards ceremony, he won the Twins Human Flesh Express Award for his star fans, which surprised Andy.　

　　"Andy Lau Unforgettable Concert" was held in the Red Pavilion on the evening of the 29th, and the following day, after making an exception to invite two guests, Jia Sile and Ye Qianwen, to perform, two groups of four guests were found that night, namely the girl group Twins and At17. Twins was even more surprising. When Cai Zhuoyan and Zhong Xintong attended the New Town Madden Awards Ceremony, the two immediately rushed to the Red Pavilion and secretly brought Hua Zai’s "World Madden’s Most Popular Supreme Singer" trophy as a "meet and greet".　

　　When Andy introduced Twins to the scene, he said: "I watched them enter the industry. They have gone through a lot of ups and downs like me, and every time I am disappointed, I will receive text messages from them to comfort me." Then Twins appeared with Andy’s trophy, which surprised Andy and asked back: "Even if I didn’t attend, I will get a prize?" Ah Sa and Gillian not only supported Andy with their actions, but also burst out that they are super fans of Andy and members of his fan club. However, Andy kicked out that they have rarely participated in fan activities in recent years. Twins laughed and said: "We are forever honorary members!"　

　　As for another girl group, At17, who appeared in the Encore session and sang "I Hate Me" with Andy Rock Popular Hall, a round of strong songs and dances heated up the atmosphere. Andy, who used this solo song to commemorate 30 years of entry into the industry, joked: "At first I called At17 because I thought they were like me, and they all entered the industry at the age of 17. Isn’t that very interesting? I only knew it wasn’t the case after asking." At17 immediately added: "Wrong is wrong! You have a song called" Seventeen ", and we also have a song called" Seventeen Years Old ", which is also a fate!"　

　　Andy said bluntly that today’s music scene needs new blood like them. In order to support the younger generation, Andy also promised to hold a concert at At17 in the future, and will be obliged to be the concert guest of the two. (Photo and text/Tungstar)

　　As two of the most important new cars in 2021, Changan UNI-K and Geely Xingyue L have a good "mass base". UNI-K’s sci-fi avant-garde vehicle design seems to meet the aesthetic needs of young consumers, while Xingyue L’s calm and atmospheric style is more suitable for family users to buy. Although the positioning of models is different, it is quite topical to combine the same body level and similar price range. Who is the most fashionable car in China at present?

　　UNI gravity sequence is the focus of Chang ‘an’s upward development, and the first model, Changan UNI-T, became a hit with its sci-fi avant-garde design. As the flagship model of Changan family, Changan UNI-K is the second product of Changan UNI series, which has attracted a lot of attention since the release of Guangzhou Auto Show in November last year. Large and medium-sized SUV, borderless design, interior quad screen, and blue whale’s new generation 2.0T power, it can be said that the strongest strength of Changan family at present is concentrated on it.

　　Geely KX11 based on CMA platform, that is, Xingyue L, is also about to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the flagship product of Geely brand. Since Xingrui looks like Volvo S60, Geely’s new products have become closer to its luxury brand Volvo, forming a brand-new family face, and Xingyue L is no exception. After seeing the real car map for the first time, many netizens exclaimed the "mystery similarity" between Xingyue L and XC60. As a new flagship car, the "L" in the name of Xingyue L has the meanings of Larger, luxurious and subversive, which means the upgrade of body size, space and power.

　　Changan UNI-K locates medium and large SUVs, with length, width and height of 4865/1948/1690mm and wheelbase of 2890mm respectively. Previously, the borderless design on Changan UNI-T has been improved, and the side shape of the car body has a contemporary simple style, with pure, precise and concise lines. In order to create a more sporty feeling, the new car adopts a sleek shape, and the windowsill is also narrowed upwards. Designers boldly abandoned the complex body lines and adopted the "V" shape body design, shaping the futuristic feeling of the body through curved surfaces and light and shadow. The two sides of the rear of the car and the black diffuser are all familiar UNI family elements. The difference is that the new car also uses a penetrating LED taillight to enhance the visual effect.

　　The front face of Geely Xingyue L adopts a relatively heavy design, with a straight waterfall concave front grille and four ribs raised on the hood, which makes this car look very domineering. The brand-new headlights are also quite designed, surrounded by double-layer LED headlights, while the interior is composed of two separate light sources, and the front surrounded by a horizontal bar grille is also full of sports atmosphere.

　　From the side of the car body, Geely Xingyue L creates a more hard-core style through the high car body and the raised wheel eyebrows. At the same time, the flat roof design can also provide sufficient head space to a certain extent, making the passengers in the car more comfortable. In terms of the tail, the overall visual effect of the multi-layer lines at the tail of the new car is luxurious, and the through taillight group with the concave license plate frame below is very eye-catching. In terms of size, the length, width and height of Geely Xingyue L are 4770/1895/1689mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2845 mm..

　　The interior design of Changan UNI-K gave us a big surprise. It not only adopted a brand-new four-screen linkage and UI design, but also changed the style of the steering wheel and even the angle of viewing the dashboard. Now the driver only needs to cross the steering wheel to easily read the instrument information. UNI-K’s dashboard uses three screens, each of which has its own functions, and information such as driving information, navigation and music can be seen at a glance. The screen on the right can also be used as the rear image display of the streaming media rearview mirror. It is officially announced that the car of Changan UNI-K can be turned on in 4.7s, and it is equipped with Iflytek Full Scene Intelligent Voice Interactive System.

　　The interior of Geely Xingyue L adopts the dual screen design of the central control screen and the co-pilot entertainment screen, which makes the new car both scientific and fashionable. At the same time, the center console adopts double color matching design, plus neat stitching and materials, which creates the texture and luxury of the new car. In addition, it is revealed that the new car is expected to be equipped with Geely’s latest digital intelligent cockpit system and a higher level of autonomous driving technology.

　　Changan UNI-K is equipped with Blue Whale’s new generation 2.0T engine, with a maximum power of 171kW and a peak torque of 390N·m, matching Aisin 8-speed automatic manual transmission. The top version of the car is equipped with a timely four-wheel drive system from Borgwarner, and three modes can be switched by buttons near the bar. Changan UNI-K will mainly promote the 2.0T version in advance. In order to take care of the needs of users in different regions, the PHEV plug-in hybrid version will also be arranged.

　　Geely Xingyue L is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine code-named JLH-4G20TDJ. Thanks to the CMA platform technology, the dual-power versions are 218 horsepower and 238 horsepower respectively. The low-power version will be matched with 7DCT, while the high-power model will be equipped with Aisin 8AT.

　　Whether it’s UNI-K’s avant-garde sci-fi or Xingyue L’s maturity and steadiness, from the words of countless fans, we can see that the upward breakthrough of independent brands is still very successful, and it also reflects from one side that the control strength of local car companies in the consumer demand level is very strong. We are happy to see more and more products that are more in line with national conditions and consumer demand. After the official release of these two cars at the Shanghai Auto Show, the large-scale car evaluation meeting will bring you a more detailed product evaluation experience report for the first time, so please pay attention.

Yu Xiaohui said that in the future, artificial intelligence will play a more important role in promoting industrial upgrading and accelerating the formation of new productivity.

　　At this year’s Boao Forum for Asia Annual Conference, many guests believed that artificial intelligence has become a driving force for economic and social development, and we should give full play to the unique advantages of rich application scenarios in our country’s super-sized market, accelerate the scientific and technological innovation in the field of artificial intelligence, and cultivate new momentum for economic development with high-quality development and high-level application of artificial intelligence.

　　Building a unified standard

　　Guiding technology "Intelligent for good"

　　As artificial intelligence continues to make breakthroughs, while technology is empowering, the "double-edged sword" effect of advanced technology is gradually emerging. For example, artificial intelligence through collection and analysisThis could lead to personal privacy breaches, data breaches, and cyber attacks; it could contribute to illegal activities such as online fraud by generating fake photos or videos; it could also pose ethical issues, military security risks, and so on.

　　In response to the risks caused by artificial intelligence out of control or malicious abuse, the "Report" pointed out that it is necessary to establish systems and rules around the legal and regulatory issues that may be encountered in the development of artificial intelligence, and to study and formulate artificial intelligence-related services, standards, safety and other regulations, so as to lay a legal foundation for the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology.

　　In terms of establishing unified norms and standards and ensuring the safe and healthy development of the field of artificial intelligence, relevant policies and regulations have been continuously improved. On August 15, 2023, the Interim Measures for the Management of Generative Artificial Intelligence Services came into effect. As the first legal document for the generative artificial intelligence industry in our country, this measure regulates the development of generative artificial intelligence from the aspects of technological development and governance, service specifications, supervision and inspection, and legal responsibility.

　　On January 17, 2024, MIIT released the "National Artificial Intelligence Industry Comprehensive Standardization System Construction Guide" (exposure draft), proposing a standard system for the high-quality development of the artificial intelligence industry to better promote the healthy development of the artificial intelligence industry.

　　How to prevent the risks that artificial intelligence may bring and ensure that artificial intelligence serves human well-being? The participants believed that in order to make good use of and manage artificial intelligence, it is necessary to use "non-artificial intelligence" methods to give full play to the power of systems and regulations and prevent the disorderly development of artificial intelligence.

　　On issues such as promoting the orderly and good development of artificial intelligence, experts said that generative artificial intelligence is accelerating its development, constantly giving birth to new industries, new tracks, and new models, which is an important breakthrough point for the layout of future industries. In the face of the complexity of generative artificial intelligence, security measures should be integrated into the whole life cycle to help build a good network space content ecology and escort the orderly development of the generative artificial intelligence service industry.

This summer

Temperatures in many parts of the country hit a historical record.

Since the ambush

Only air conditioners, fans and cold drinks can "continue life"

But when it comes to "cold drinks", many parents wave their hands again and again.

High in sugar, oil and calories.

Better eat fruit.

After all, summer

It is a good season to eat fruit.

not only that；nay

There is a way to eat fruit.

But it’s better than "cold drink"

that is

"Frozen" to eat!

Frozen fruit is better than you think.

Many people say that since eating frozen fruit, even ice cream is inferior!

The delicious ice cream mainly depends on fat, protein and sugar. Wherein fat and protein provide mouthfeel.

Protein will seize the "water" molecules in sugar water to form bound water; Fat is broken up to form small fat balls, which are combined with protein and water, and they work together to form a smoother and more delicate taste.

This kind of taste can also be found in frozen durian.

Moreover, even though durian is already the king of calories in fruits, reaching 150kcal/100g, it is just a low-fat product compared with ice cream.

In addition to durian, there are bananas, which are also comparable to ice cream.

At the same time, researchers in many countries believe that super-processed foods (ice cream, chocolate, cakes, potato chips) and so on are positively related to obesity. High calorie is not the main problem of these foods. The bigger problem is that they are often high in sugar, fat and salt, and rarely provide diversified nutrition. They can be obtained everywhere and are particularly easy to eat more.

Delicious, nutritious and not fat, frozen fruit is really worth a try.

Recommended frozen fruit "red list"

Frozen fruit is delicious, but not all fruits are suitable to be thrown into the refrigerator.

Only those with high sweetness (ripe), fine texture, delicate and smooth taste of ice cream or cool and refreshing smoothies are suitable for freezing.

Specifically recommend several models for everyone:

Frozen durian can be described as a "perfect substitute" for dessert. protein and fat are high, so it will taste like ice cream, but durian is also high in sugar. Children who control their weight should not be greedy!

one

Banana is high in potassium and low in sodium, which is the best choice for quick energy supplement. The taste of frozen bananas is also very similar to that of ice cream, and the taste is soft and waxy like adding cream. However, it needs to be reminded that frozen bananas should be peeled before freezing, otherwise they will be frostbitten.

2

Mango has a high carotene content, 45 to 104 times that of apple, which is helpful to improve night blindness, and it is also a selenium-rich food. The frozen mango has a more fragrant aroma and a fine and soft taste. However, it is best to peel mangoes after freezing, and it is best to choose ripe mangoes for freezing.

three

Jackfruit is a high-potassium food. After freezing, its taste is crisp and waxy, so it is worth a try. However, the sugar content of jackfruit is very high, so children who need to lose weight should control their consumption.

four

Croissant honey is a representative of sweet but not fat fruit. It tastes sweet and refreshing, but in fact it is not high in calories. The taste of frozen croissant honey is very similar to that of sandwich ice cream, with crisp outer layer and soft inner core. Children who are greedy for "sandwich ice cream" are worth a try.

five

Grapes are rich in a variety of fruit acids to help digestion, and high levels of vitamin C and anthocyanins are also beneficial to the body. Frozen grapes taste like smoothies, and after melting a little, they look like jelly.

six

Litchi has a high content of vitamin C, which is comparable to citrus fruits. Frozen litchi mixed with pulp with ice residue is very chewy. It should be noted that the sugar content of litchi is also very high. Although a considerable part is fructose, the total amount of glucose and sucrose is not low. Children who need to control sugar should eat less.

seven

Watermelon, a fruit with moisture in off the charts, is a proper popsicle after freezing. It has a rustling taste and melts in your mouth and is full of juice.

eight

Papaya must be softened before freezing. Soft papaya is frozen for one night, slightly warmed up, soft and waxy, with delicate pulp, and there is no ice residue in it, which is biased towards the dense taste of ice cream. After freezing, the fragrance of papaya became more and more full, and the sweetness became refreshing.

nine

Tips:

Fruits with high sweetness and good flavor are delicious when frozen, and the sweetness after freezing is not so greasy. Tropical fruits such as durian, mango and pineapple are generally suitable for frozen eating; On the contrary, the more sour the fruit, the less suitable it is to be frozen. Don’t try fruits like plums, apricots and oranges easily.

Fruits with high fructose content are sweet at low temperature, such as grapes and watermelons, which are sweet and refreshing after freezing; Fruits with high sucrose content have similar sweetness at any temperature, such as dates and peaches, which will not be sweeter after freezing.

There are requirements for "frozen" fruits

Although frozen fruit is delicious, improper operation may "hurt" your body!

Many parents worry that their children think that eating cold food will cause diarrhea. But in fact, sometimes children will feel uncomfortable after eating cold food, which may not be caused by "cold", but there may also be the following reasons:

Food intolerance (or allergy)

Some children have gastrointestinal discomfort after eating certain foods, which is largely due to food allergies. In summer fruits, mangoes and pineapples are allergic foods. In addition to allergies, there may be food intolerance. Some children’s intestines and stomach can’t digest and decompose certain foods, which will cause discomfort such as flatulence, diarrhea and abdominal pain.

Eat too much at once

Eating frozen fruit in summer can cool off the heat and quench thirst, so it is easy for children to binge and eat if they are not careful. But in fact, whether it is warm or cold, eating too much is easy to cause indigestion.

Personal constitution

Some children have a fragile stomach. If they have irritable bowel syndrome and are prone to gastroenteritis, eating cold food may cause stomach upset.

In addition, there is one of the most important reasons that must be paid attention to when freezing fruits, that is-

Food is contaminated by germs.

In the process of fruit pretreatment, frozen fruit and thawing, food comes into contact with some microorganisms, causing virus, bacteria and protozoa infection, causing abdominal pain and diarrhea in children.

Therefore, I suggest you:

Pay attention to the separation of raw and cooked in pretreatment.

Use clean chopping boards and drinking water when peeling and cleaning. Cutting tools and chopping boards should be separated from raw ones.

If there is room in the refrigerator, you can use a freezer drawer to store frozen fruits. If there is not such a big place, be careful not to put frozen fruits and raw meat products together.

Do a good job of packing and sealing.

Although the microbial reproduction of fruit is slow after freezing, it can be preserved for a long time in theory. However, if the fruit is frozen for too long, it will produce large ice crystals, and many fruits will easily taste bad, which will affect the taste.

Don’t freeze and thaw repeatedly

Repeated freezing and thawing is not only a serious nutrient loss, but also prone to deterioration.

Finally, the frozen fruit can be eaten after 5 to 10 minutes.

Eating fruit should also be divided into time periods

Fruit itself contains different enzymes. If you want enzymes to have different effects in the body, you should also choose the most suitable time to eat.

Don’t eat too sour on an empty stomach.

People with poor gastrointestinal function should not eat fruit in the morning. Bananas are also not suitable for eating on an empty stomach, which will speed up the movement of the stomach and increase the burden on the heart.

Eating fruit between meals can quickly supplement vitamins.

When eating fruit between meals, fructose and glucose in the fruit can be quickly absorbed by the human body. Pineapples can be eaten after lunch, and watermelons are best eaten two hours after meals.

Don’t eat a lot after dinner.

Eating fruit 1 hour after a meal helps digestion, and you can choose fruits with high organic acid content such as pineapple and hawthorn.

But don’t eat a lot of fruit after dinner, which is not good for digestion, and it is easy to turn the sugar into fat and accumulate in the body because of eating too much.

Homemade fruit ice cream

If you want to make ice cream for your child, you must remember the following "formula":

Frozen fruit+yogurt+banana+whipping

Mix frozen fruit, yogurt and bananas, whip them finely, then put them into a mold, and freeze them for 30-40 minutes, and they will become home-made fruit ice cream!

Passion fruit mango flavor ice cream

350g frozen mango meat +60g frozen passion fruit juice +1 banana at room temperature +100g frozen thick yogurt.

Qing ti mi gua Wei ice cream

350g frozen honeydew melon +250g frozen green extract +1 banana at room temperature +100g frozen thick yogurt.

Frozen fruit, in the way of delicious, cool and not fattening, prolongs the taste period of seasonal fruits and also prolongs the happiness in summer.

Parents may wish to give their children a try when they have time!

　　Reference message networkReported on February 19 Today is the rain in the solar terms in China, and it is also the last important festival in the Spring Festival customs — — Lantern Festival.

　　In June 2008, the Lantern Festival was selected as a national intangible cultural heritage. This traditional festival celebrated by China people has attracted worldwide attention.

　　So, what is the China Lantern Festival in the eyes of foreign media? With this question, Xiao Bian put down the dumplings in his hand and opened the old newspaper of Reference News. While looking for foreign media reports on the Lantern Festival, he felt all kinds of changes and invariants in the development of the times … …

　　In 2006, the online edition of The Times published an article entitled "Every household adheres to the ancient custom of eating Yuanxiao", which recorded the Lantern Festival time of a family in Beijing:

　　"Wang wrapped in thick cotton-padded clothes and his mother stood in line for half an hour in the cold just to buy a bag of old brand Yuanxiao. The mother said: ‘ Such hard work is worth it. You have to eat Yuanxiao today, because it is a symbol of family reunion. ’”

　　The word "stick to it" in the title of this article impressed Xiaobian. Why should we "stick to it" when eating Yuanxiao?

　　Combined with the social background at that time, this problem is not difficult to understand. At that time, foreign festivals, commonly known as "foreign festivals", began to occupy a place in the lives of ordinary people in China, and even triggered a query that "traditional festivals are no match for foreign festivals".

　　The most typical ones are Valentine’s Day and Lantern Festival. A "foreign festival", a traditional festival, is very close to each other every year: for example, the Lantern Festival is the second day of Valentine’s Day in 2003, and there is only one day between Lantern Festival and Valentine’s Day in 2006. The closeness of the two festivals made the topic of sticking to traditional festivals more prominent.

　　For example, in an AFP article entitled "China people celebrate Valentine’s Day and Lantern Festival successively" in 2003, it was mentioned that China people celebrated Valentine’s Day with double joy this year, because people could celebrate the traditional Lantern Festival after Valentine’s Day at the same time.

　　The media said that "since opening to the outside world, China has been more and more keen on Valentine’s Day". Although February 15th (Saturday) was the Lantern Festival that year, many people hung lanterns on the evening of 14th (Friday) to celebrate Valentine’s Day and Lantern Festival at the same time.

　　After a lapse of three years, the Financial Times in 2006 also celebrated the "Foreign Festival" with "China in vogue"? It is reported that although China today is more confident and tolerant, not all China people are happy or optimistic about the fashion change of "foreign festivals" for young people. The newspaper mentioned a China person who rightly said: "Even if Valentine’s Day and Lantern Festival in the West are close this year, it can’t make ‘ Lover’s mood ’ Squeeze ‘ Celebrate the whole world and have fun with the people ’ The cultural connotation. "

　　Today, 15 years later, when we look at the reports at that time, we may not feel so strongly about this topic. In Xiaobian’s view, even though China people have become accustomed to some "foreign festivals", their enthusiasm for traditional festivals such as the Lantern Festival has not diminished at all.

　　Moreover, it has been proved that the traditional Lantern Festival custom has not faded with the progress of the times.

　　In 2013, united press international reported that in Pingyao, Shanxi Province, every household hung red lanterns and set off fireworks to celebrate the Lantern Festival.

　　Sarah brown, an Australian tourist, said, "We came to Pingyao from Beijing and felt the different atmosphere of the Lantern Festival. The atmosphere in Pingyao is more cheerful. It’s easy to get separated from friends in such a bustling street … … We feel the charm of the China Lunar New Year. "

　　At that time, AFP reporters came to Nuanquan Town, Hebei Province, and recorded the local people’s way of ending the Lunar New Year with a unique "Da Shu Hua Show" performance.

　　According to the report, this way of celebrating Lantern Festival, invented more than 300 years ago, is one of many ancient folk activities in China that have been restored in recent decades.

On the evening of February 5, 2019, folk artists performed "Da Shu Hua Show" at the Asia-Pacific Temple Fair in zunhua city, Hebei Province. (Xinhua News Agency)

　　AFP reporter recorded the process of the performance: the master who performed "Da Shu Hua Show" only "equipped" the straw hat and protective glasses. They scooped molten iron out of the bucket and splashed it on a brick wall. The iron flowers splashed on the brick wall, which was very spectacular.

　　According to the report, this spectacular scene caused deafening cheers from the audience in Wenquan Town. Wenquan Town is only a few hours’ drive from Beijing. In order to promote the development of tourism, Wenquan Town resumed this folk activity with a history of hundreds of years.

　　Of course, with the restoration of traditional folk customs, the way to celebrate the Lantern Festival is also changing in another way.

　　In a report in 2017, the online reporter of Hong Kong Asia Times mentioned that when the Lantern Festival was held in Changzhou, Jiangsu Province in 2016, there was a beautiful electronic light show at the local Chinese Dinosaur Park, but it was not a traditional lantern, and of course there were no riddles.

　　Spain’s Effie also noticed a new way to celebrate the Lantern Festival. The agency reported in 2016 that in order to celebrate the Lantern Festival, many people visited the Longqingxia Ice Lantern Art Festival in Yanqing District, Beijing. As one of the competition areas of Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, many ice sculptures at the festival are sports-oriented.

　　Mr. Jiang, a tourist, came here with his family for the holiday. He said that although these ice sculptures are a little far from the traditional Lantern Festival celebration elements, he feels: "We should keep pace with the times, and these are very special." Mr. Jiang said: "Of course, this is not a traditional way to celebrate, but we like it very much, and the children are also very interested in ice sculptures", especially the ice sculptures with the theme of the 2020 Olympic Games.

　　"With the development of economy and society, China people’s Chinese New Year activities are gradually changing to a more modern form." Effie commented.

　　Of course, the Effie reporter also noticed that in Zhangjiakou, Hebei Province, not far from Beijing, the celebration activities are much more traditional. Besides singing and dancing in traditional costumes, there are also traditional folk activities such as walking on stilts.

　　In short, Xiao Bian believes that both adhering to the traditional customs and exploring the modern ways of celebrating the Lantern Festival express China people’s persistence and love for the traditional festivals.

As the Lantern Festival approaches in 2019, many activities such as Dragon Lantern Festival and Dragon Lantern Show are held in Guizhou Province to celebrate the Lantern Festival and the Spring Festival. (Xinhua News Agency)

(Observer News) According to Kyodo News, the world baseball classic (WBC) final was held in Miami, Florida, USA on the 21st local time. Japan defeated the last champion, the United States, 3-2 to win the championship for the third time. The last time Japan won the championship was the second WBC in 2009.

A few days ago, a patient reported that the Second People’s Hospital of Wuhu City, Anhui Province (hereinafter referred to as "Wuhu Second Hospital") overcharged medical expenses, which aroused strong concern in the industry about "excessive diagnosis and treatment".

On December 2nd, Anhui Medical Insurance Bureau informed the Second Hospital of Wuhu about the illegal use of medical insurance funds, and on the 4th, official website of Hunan Medical Insurance Bureau issued the "Administrative Punishment of Xiangya Hospital of Central South University", which fined the hospital about 980,000 yuan for illegal use of medical insurance funds.

CBN found that in recent years, the Regulations on the Supervision and Administration of the Use of Medical Insurance Funds (hereinafter referred to as the Administrative Regulations) and the Interim Measures for the Supervision and Administration of the Use of Medical Insurance Funds (hereinafter referred to as the Interim Measures) and other laws and regulations have been promulgated one after another, providing policy and legal basis for the supervision of medical insurance funds; As a complement to the Interim Measures, the Measures for Reporting Incentives for Illegal Use of Medical Insurance Funds (hereinafter referred to as the "Incentive Measures") was also released in November 2022. This document is to mobilize social forces to participate in fund supervision and safeguard the safety of medical insurance funds.

The National Medical Insurance Bureau has repeatedly stressed that the medical insurance fund will never become "Tang monk meat". According to official data, since 2019, the National Medical Insurance Bureau has sent a total of 184 flight inspection teams to inspect 384 designated medical institutions, and found that 4.35 billion yuan of related funds were used illegally. Since the implementation of the "Incentive Measures" in January this year, medical insurance departments at all levels across the country have verified and recovered the amount of medical insurance violations of 158 million yuan according to the clues reported by the masses.

An expert on medical insurance policy told CBN that with the increasing efforts to crack down on fraudulent medical insurance in China, blatant fraudulent medical insurance behaviors such as "fake patients", "fake services", "fake medical products" and "fake medical insurance expenses" have been effectively curbed, but some fraudulent medical insurance behaviors have also shifted from the front to the back, and gradually changed to behaviors such as excessive medical treatment and excessive fees. How to determine the boundary of excessive medical treatment and how to adopt scientific and accurate comprehensive management methods are the key points in the next stage.

The boundary of "excessive diagnosis and treatment"

According to the notification of Anhui Medical Insurance Bureau, Wuhu Medical Insurance Bureau has fully recovered the medical insurance fund illegally used by Wuhu Second Hospital according to the medical insurance service agreement signed by the hospital, and deducted the liquidated damages at 30%, interviewed the relevant person in charge of the hospital, and handed it over to the public security and health care departments for further verification. At the same time, the bureau has started the administrative punishment procedure in accordance with the Management Regulations.

"Medical insurance service agreements are handled in different ways, but most medical institutions deduct liquidated damages at a rate of 30%." A person in charge of the medical reform department of a health and wellness commission in the southern region told the reporter that in addition to the treatment method according to the medical insurance service agreement, in the administrative punishment procedure, the above-mentioned "Management Regulations" stipulates that illegal acts that cause losses to the medical insurance fund shall be ordered to return, and a fine of more than 1 time and less than 2 times shall be imposed.

Zhao Dahai, a professor at the School of International and Public Affairs of Shanghai Jiaotong University, told the First Financial Reporter that whether it is for medical institutions or medical staff, the end of over-diagnosis and treatment must bring economic returns to themselves and institutions (institutions also involve scale expansion), but in the final analysis, the supervision of medical insurance funds needs a set of strict, scientific and legally effective standards to judge and identify.

"For public hospitals, we can constantly correct their use of medical insurance funds by strengthening supervision, but private hospitals and pharmacies have certain commercial attributes, so we still need to rely on effective supervision methods when avoiding the risk of fraudulent insurance." Zhao Dahai said that in the next stage, health care and medical insurance departments can jointly promote the standardization and implementation of clinical diagnosis and treatment paths.

To this end, the person in charge of the medical insurance service department of a top-three hospital in Beijing said that at any time, medical institutions should never make profits by prescribing drugs and consumables without collecting the information of the insured. This is malicious fraud and insurance fraud, and it is also the bottom line problem. However, at this stage, it is not uncommon for medical institutions to occupy too much medical insurance funds by improving the accessibility of drugs and consumables.

"But whether this belongs to’ excessive diagnosis and treatment’ needs to be viewed objectively." The person in charge said that on the one hand, some innovative drugs are expensive but have great benefits to diseases, and doctors prescribe them for patients out of kindness. However, due to the annual update of the medical insurance catalogue, whether the innovative drugs are still within the scope of the medical insurance catalogue, whether the medical insurance limited payment ratio has been adjusted, and whether the patient’s area is applicable need further careful confirmation. On the other hand, the scope of medical insurance fund’s limited payment needs to refer to a number of matters, including the indications in the drug instructions and the reimbursement ratio of the insured’s location. "It is almost impossible for doctors to record all the contents and ensure that there are no mistakes. Therefore, it is imperative to introduce an information-assisted platform and do a good job in training."

Is there a solution to the problem that medical institutions illegally use medical insurance funds caused by "excessive diagnosis and treatment"?

Cai Haiqing, former director of the Treatment Protection Department of Jiangxi Provincial Medical Insurance Bureau, said that, first of all, it is necessary to solve the problem of how to identify "excessive diagnosis and treatment"; Secondly, with the comprehensive implementation of the reform of DRGs (Payment by Disease Diagnosis Group) and DIG (Payment by Disease Score), the problem of medical insurance payment currently facing the clinic is to solve the problem of "over-diagnosis and treatment" and to prevent possible insufficient diagnosis and treatment. "Insufficient diagnosis and treatment includes low-standard discharge, reducing necessary medical services and inspection items, and reducing the use of drugs and consumables. This situation is to reduce the cost of medical services and improve the yield."

As a matter of fact, the First Financial Reporter learned in the industry that it is difficult to identify, identify and dispose of over-medical treatment. In June this year, "Research on the Identification of Over-medical Treatment Behavior and the Regulation Rules of Medical Insurance" released the first "over-medical treatment index system". The theoretical basis of this system includes sampling data, written materials and written materials of fund supervision discussions of 121 designated medical insurance institutions in Shanghai. It involves 5 first-level indicators, 30 second-level indicators and 67 third-level indicators.

"Although the system is developed in the form of research, it is still some time before it is fully implemented, but at least it has broken the definition of the boundary of overtreatment." Cai Haiqing said.

Regulatory challenges

Since the beginning of this year, official website, the National Medical Insurance Bureau, has published 40 typical cases of fraudulent insurance in four phases. The illegal use of medical insurance funds includes: changing medical treatment items, falsely recording infusion drugs, treatment and inspection fees, forging materials, uploading false medication data, etc. Most of these cases were discovered by local medical insurance departments through active forms such as medical data verification in different places, big data screening and analysis, and on-site supervision and inspection.

On the basis of the previous vigorous rectification work, what are the challenges in the supervision of medical insurance funds and how to establish a long-term supervision mechanism?

To this end, Yu Changyong, an associate professor at the School of Public Administration of Zhongnan University of Economics and Law, told reporters that under the new situation, the new challenges of China’s medical insurance fund supervision can be interpreted from four aspects. First of all, after years of flight inspection and special work to combat fraud and insurance fraud, some "blatant" fraud and insurance fraud in the past have been effectively curbed, and the means of fraud and insurance fraud will be more subtle and the way of fraud will be more complicated.

Secondly, the overall level of medical insurance in various regions has been gradually improved, and the area where patients seek medical treatment has become larger, which will also significantly expand the scope of supervision of medical insurance funds and increase the difficulty of supervision. Thirdly, the reform of outpatient co-ordination makes the medical insurance department not only supervise the hospitalization behavior, but also supervise the outpatient behavior and the drug purchase behavior of pharmacies, and the objects and contents of supervision will show explosive growth.

In addition, the state attaches great importance to the development of Chinese medicine, and Chinese medicine services will be further included in the scope of medical insurance fund payment. However, Chinese medicine services are often treated by people and diseases, and its legal compliance or more difficult to judge, making it more difficult to supervise medical insurance funds.

To this end, Yu Changyong suggested that for some hidden and complicated illegal use of medical insurance funds, the medical insurance administrative department needs to be accurate and qualitative, and administer according to law; On the other hand, it is necessary to increase administrative punishment and even criminal punishment. In addition, it is necessary to strengthen the construction of intelligent monitoring and big data screening mechanisms, and establish a credit supervision system as soon as possible.

For the establishment of a long-term mechanism, a medical insurance fund supervisor said that in fact, in the past, the punishment for illegal use of medical insurance funds was mostly in medical institutions, and the punishment for individuals was not enough; At the same time, due to the low cost of violating laws and regulations, in most cases, it is ultimately handled in accordance with the medical insurance service agreement, and administrative punishment, transfer to justice or discipline inspection are rare.

"On the one hand, it is recommended that the medical insurance department unify the standards for law enforcement and incorporate illegal acts of medical institutions into credit management; On the other hand, medical institutions should establish the accountability system, reward and punishment system for the main leaders of the party and government and department heads, and improve the business training in the field of medical insurance payment. In addition, it is necessary to improve the comprehensive supervision mechanism that pays equal attention to incentives and constraints. Medical institutions that self-examine and self-correct and voluntarily return funds can reduce or not be punished. However, for those medical institutions and individuals who repeatedly check recidivism and do not change, they must be dealt with severely. " The source said.

Generative AI is getting more and more popular. Is this really a good business?

Recently, AI painting is on fire.

By inputting some words, AI can generate an image that matches the words in a few seconds. These images are wild, and some are even bizarre. For example, people have extra fingers on their hands, and their fingers bend unnaturally. Even, AI can generate some meaningless billboards and alphabets that humans have never seen before.

Although AI painting is outrageous, it has set off a wave of science and technology: the spring of generative AI has come.

David Beisel, a venture capitalist at NextView Ventures, said that in the past three months, the word "generative AI" once became a hot word. Moreover, the generative AI technology has developed rapidly and the market enthusiasm is so high that many people even quit their jobs to start a business in this field.

There is no doubt that AI has been in a prosperous stage in the past five years or so, but most of these past advances have to do with understanding the existing data-for example, the AI model has been able to quickly and efficiently identify whether there are only cats in your mobile phone photos. However, the generative AI model generates something completely new that has never been seen before. In other words, generative AI is not just about analyzing existing data, but creating.

Boris Dayma, founder of Craiyon generative AI, believes that "generative AI is not only creating old images, but also creating many new things, which are completely different from what we have seen before."

Sequoia Capital also said in a blog post on its website: "Generative AI has the potential to create trillions of dollars in economic value." Sequoia Capital predicts that generative AI may change all industries that require human beings to create original works, from games to advertising to the legal profession. It is worth mentioning that Sequoia Capital also pointed out in its blog post that this message was partly written by GPT-3 (GPT-3 is a generative AI capable of generating text).

Working principle of generative AI

In the past, deep learning technology was widely used to train the model on large data sets. When the program understands the relationships in these data, the model can be applied to actual scenes, such as identifying whether there is a dog in a picture or translating text, and so on.

The working principle of the image generator is to reverse this process. For example, instead of translating English into French, it translates English phrases into images. Specifically, it usually has two main parts, one is to process initial phrases, and the other is to convert data into images.

At first, generative AI was based on a method called GAN, that is, the generative adversarial network. In essence, this method is to make two artificial intelligence models compete with each other to better create images that meet the target.

At present, generative AI is usually based on Transformer, such as image generator DALL-E and so on. DALL-E was first created by OpenAI in 2021, and in 2022, OpenAI released DALL-E 2.

Christian Cantrell, a developer who focuses on generative AI, said: "With DALL-E 2, we can really cross uncanny valley." (The Valley of Terror theory is a hypothesis about human perception of robots and non-human objects. It was put forward by Japanese robot expert Masahiro Mori in 1970. )

Another commonly used AI-based image generator is Craiyon (formerly known as DALL-E Mini), where users can enter phrases in the browser and see the illustrations it generates within a few minutes.

According to Dayma, since its launch in July 2021, Craiyon has produced about 10 million unprecedented pictures every day, which adds up to 1 billion. Earlier this year, the use of Crayon soared, and Dayma also took Crayon as its full-time job. In addition, Dayma has created a Twitter account to post the weirdest and most creative pictures generated by Craiyon. For example, ketchup comes out of the tap on the Italian sink.

In addition, Stable Diffusion has also received wide attention. The project was released in August this year and has been open source on GitHub. Developers can run the project on computers, not just in the cloud or through programming interfaces. For example, Stable Diffusion can be integrated into Adobe Photoshop by plug-in, allowing users to generate backgrounds and other parts of images, and use layers and other Photoshop tools to operate in applications.

Cantrell, the developer of the plug-in, said, "I want to meet these creative professionals, so that they can introduce artificial intelligence into their creative work, instead of destroying their work."

It is understood that Cantrell has worked for Adobe for 20 years. After leaving in 2022, Cantrell focused on the direction of generative AI. Cantrell said that Stable Diffusion has been downloaded tens of thousands of times, and artists told him that they used this plug-in in many unexpected places, such as making Godzilla animation or creating pictures of Spider-Man.

Start-up companies get together

Some investors regard generative AI as a potentially transformative change, just like the early development of smart phones or the Internet. This kind of transformation has greatly expanded the potential market of this technology.

"Before that, artificial intelligence was not unprecedented. Before 2007, we were not without mobile devices, "said Beisel, a seed investor." But at this moment, everything came together. The final consumer can experience and see something different from before. "

Cantrell believes that machine learning is similar to a more basic technology: database. "Machine learning is a bit like a database, which opens up a whole new world for network applications. All the applications we have used in our life are built on the database. But no one cares about how the database works. People only know how to use it. "

Michael Dempsey, managing partner of Compound VC, said that in the past, it was "very rare" for laboratory technology to enter the mainstream, but at present, generative AI has attracted wide attention of venture capitalists. Nevertheless, he warned that the current generative AI may be in the "curious stage" near the peak of the hype cycle, and the companies established at this stage may fail because they don’t focus on the specific uses that enterprises or consumers are willing to pay for.

Others in the industry believe that startups that can apply new technologies such as generative AI today may challenge technology giants such as Google, Meta and Microsoft in the future.

At present, many companies applying generative AI technology have already received large amount of financing, and their valuations have also risen. For example, earlier this year, Hugging Face was valued at $2 billion after receiving investments including Lux Capital and Sequoia Capital; OpenAI has also received more than $1 billion from Microsoft and Khosla Ventures.

In addition, according to Forbes, Stability AI, the developer of Stable Diffusion, is negotiating with investment institutions to raise up to $1 billion in venture capital.

Cloud vendors and chip vendors will benefit.

Besides start-ups, cloud service providers such as Amazon, Microsoft and Google can also benefit from it, because generative AI may require a huge amount of computation.

Meta and Google have also taken action and started recruiting talents. In September of this year, Meta released an artificial intelligence application called "Make-A-Video", which can generate videos, which makes the generative AI technology a step further.

"This is a great progress," Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, posted on his Facebook page. "It is much more difficult to generate videos than photos, because besides correctly generating each pixel, the system must also predict how they will change over time."

Recently, Google matched with Meta and released a program code called Phenaki, which can also convert text into video and generate several minutes of footage.

This craze may also boost chip manufacturers such as Nvidia, AMD and Intel, because the advanced graphics processors produced by these companies are ideal for training and deploying artificial intelligence models.

At a recent meeting, Huang Renxun, CEO of Nvidia, emphasized that generative AI is the key use of the company’s latest chip, and he said that this kind of program may "revolutionize communication" soon.

At present, there are not many uses of generative AI that can generate commercial benefits. Many exciting breakthroughs today come from free or low-cost experiments. For example, some writers have tried to use image generator to generate images for articles. An example of Nvidia is to use a model to generate new 3D images, including people, animals, vehicles or furniture, which can be filled into the virtual game world.

Ethical issues can not be ignored.

While generating AI excites the industry, the ethical issues it brings are also worthy of attention.

The first is employment. Compared with professional illustrators, generative AI is obviously cheaper. Therefore, generative AI is likely to rob artists, video producers and other people engaged in creative work of their "rice bowls".

In addition, there are complex problems in originality and ownership of the content created by generative AI.

Generated AI is trained on a large number of images. Therefore, it is still controversial whether the creator of the original image has copyright requirements for the generated new image.

Some time ago, an artist won an art competition in Colorado, and his winning image was created by a generative AI named MidJourney. After winning, the artist said in an interview that he selected one image from hundreds of images generated by himself and post-processed it in Photoshop.

It is worth mentioning that some images generated by Stable Diffusion are watermarked, which indicates that some of the original data sets are copyrighted. Previously, Getty Images (a picture trading company based in Seattle, USA) announced that it was forbidden for users to upload generated AI pictures to its picture library, because the company was worried that there might be some copyright problems in such pictures. .

With the improvement of image generation software, generative AI may also deceive users, make them believe false information, or display images or videos of events that never happened.

In addition, developers must also deal with the possibility that models trained on a large amount of data may have biases related to gender, race or culture contained in the data, which may cause the models to show such biases in their outputs.
