Accenture and SAP Accelerate Digital Asset Management with SAP® Predictive Maintenance and Service, add-on for utilities
CenterPoint Energy to Take Advantage of Extension of Utilities Capabilities in SAP S/4HANA®
NEW YORK; Oct. 11, 2016 – Accenture (NYSE: ACN) announced a collaboration with SAP SE (NYSE: SAP) to develop the next generation of predictive analytics solutions for asset management in the utilities industry to enable condition-based maintenance. The SAP® Predictive Maintenance and Service solution is planned to be extended to better manage risks by improving equipment uptime in transmission and distribution, as well as maintenance and equipment-replacement planning. The announcement comes after both companies announced in January a comprehensive program of ongoing collaboration on the core development and go-to-market for SAP S/4HANA®.
CenterPoint Energy, a U.S.-based energy distribution company, is collaborating with both companies to implement next-generation asset analytics solutions to complement its ongoing work in this area. SAP Predictive Maintenance and Service is a key part of the technology solution underpinning this approach. This follows an initial proof of concept that proved the business and technology value proposition of the SAP Predictive Maintenance and Service solution, enabling CenterPoint Energy to make better maintenance and renewal decisions using predictive analytics and insight into asset health.
"The proof of concept allowed us to quickly determine how to optimize our asset renewal strategy for underground residential distribution," said Gary Hayes, CIO and SVP from CenterPoint Energy. "We are looking forward to achieving similar results across the full asset management lifecycle for a wider scope of assets, working with Accenture and SAP in a co-innovation project."
"The utilities industry continues to face regulatory pressure to optimize its operating costs and improve the quality of power supply by better managing more complex grid networks, which are destabilized by new distributed energy resources," said Matias Alonso, senior managing director, who leads Accenture's utilities practice. "This solution arrives at the right time to help utilities manage the risk of asset failures and their related costs."
SAP's next-generation SAP HANA® platform together with the SAP Predictive Maintenance and Service solution provide the extendable, open platform for utilities to bring together IT and operational technology (OT) information, while building new digital applications to garner new business insights in real time from data analytics.
"SAP's approach is to work with our customers and Accenture to help ensure that our products meet industry needs, bring innovation on the SAP HANA platform and deliver tangible business value," said Henry Bailey, global vice president, head of Utilities Industry Business Unit at SAP. "We will be onboarding new charter clients who want to participate in this exciting program with Accenture to contribute to the requirements for SAP Predictive Maintenance and Service, add-on for utilities."

An experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of zinc (Zn) supplementation and different concentrations of calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P) in wheat-based diets on the performance, immune responses and bone parameters of broiler chickens. A randomized complete block design with factorial arrangement was used (three concentrations of Zn supplementation×two concentrations of dietary Ca-P), 300 day-old broilers were assigned to six dietary treatments with five replicates of ten birds. Dietary treatments were the basal diet (control; TRT1), control plus 50 ppm Zn (TRT2), control plus 70 ppm Zn (TRT3), low Ca-P diet (0.60 to 0.30%; TRT4), low Ca-P diet plus 50 ppm Zn (TRT5) and low Ca-P diet plus 50 ppm Zn (TRT6). Ca and P in the control diet were 0.90 and 0.45% in the grower phase and 0.85 and 0.42% in the finisher phase. Changes in dietary Ca-P had no effect on body weight gain (BWG), feed intake (FI), feed conversion ratio (FCR) or serum Ca and P concentrations (P>0.05) whereas Zn supplementation increased FI (P<0.05). The addition of 50 ppm Zn increased serum P concentration (P<0.05) and dietary treatments had no effect on antibody titers against sheep red blood cells (SRBC) (P>0.05). The lowest blood heterophil (H) and the highest lymphocyte (L) percentages and lowest H:L ratio were observed in birds fed with the diet containing a standard Ca-P with 70 ppm Zn supplementation (P<0.05). Dietary treatments had no effect on bone length, thickness and breaking strength (P>0.05). Tibia and fibula ash decreased by feeding lower Ca-P than the standard diet (P<0.05). It is concluded that low Ca-P diets did not have a detrimental effect on performance or blood and bone parameters and that Zn supplementation did not improve those parameters when feed was low in Ca-P.

ELISABETH STORRS The Golden Dice: A Tale of Ancient Rome. Reviewed by Folly Gleeson
Posted by The Newtown Review of Books in Fiction
ancient Rome, Australian women's fiction, Etruscan history, historical fiction
The second book of Tales of Ancient Rome intertwines the stories of three women to again create a fascinating novel of love and war, richly steeped in history.
There is an intriguing hiatus between the previous novel in this series, The Wedding Shroud, and The Golden Dice. At the end of The Wedding Shroud we leave Caecilia holding her husband Vel's dice with a momentuous decision to be made, and it is only with the first few lines of The Golden Dice that we realise what that decision was. She is no longer a stubborn and conflicted teenaged Roman, married off to a powerful Etruscan noble to ensure Rome's access to food supplies, but a loving, proud wife and mother of three sons. She is no longer horrified by the mores of the city of Veii or the freedom given to woman. She relishes them – up to a point.
In spite of her position in Veii society as the wife of Vel Mastarna, the respected general and socially important aristocrat, Caecilia now has many anxieties; there have been seven years of conflict with the increasingly powerful city of Rome. She is anxious for the safety of her husband, whom she has come to love:
She could not move away from him, arms tightening around his waist, not trusting that he had returned, that another year had passed and he had not been killed.
As well, she is the focus of dislike and criticism. As a Roman she has not been fully accepted by the Etruscan elite and she is bitterly hated by her relatives and other powerful patricians back in Rome, who see her return to Veii as a betrayal. The dice are a symbol of the love between Vel and Caecilia but they also emphasise the idea that a fortunate life in this period was very dependent on luck.
In The Golden Dice we see the effects of continuing warfare on both Veii and Rome and we see them through the eyes of some vivid new characters who have certainly not been lucky, and whose roles in society give insights into everyday life. Their stories also illuminate the vicissitudes of being female in male-dominated tribal societies.
Pinna is a night moth, a seller of sex on the most basic level. She is the daughter of a Roman freeman whose death threw her and her mother into destitution. She is tough and wily, saves herself through eavesdropping and blackmail, but is compassionate and loving to her mother through much hardship:
For her winter brought a special cruelty. The wind was bitter and the cold seeped from the earth to chill the marrow. Her clothes were sodden: fingers icy and painful from chilblains, lips blue and ringed with sores.
Semni, a potter who can no longer make luxury pots because of the war restrictions in Veii, gets a position in Caecilia's household. She is a self-serving but vibrant girl who plays an important role in thwarting the venomous plans of Artile Mastarna, Vel's soothsayer brother.
Elizabeth Storrs is an extremely skilful writer. Good historical fiction is extremely difficult to write – such novels attempt to portray a world that doesn't exist and the writer has to exercise as much imagination in creating a 'real' environment as Tolkien, say, needed to do when writing fantasy. The reality of historical times is simply not there to be taken for granted, unlike in novels set in the world of today. By intertwining the lives of the three women so cleverly this writer has created a satisfyingly rich sense of the harsh life of the period.
But it is not just the three women's narratives that help create a sense of the times – it is also the extremely evocative way in which Storrs has described the material aspects of life. I still remember the image of the herbal smell of the orange wedding veil from the Prologue of the first novel, and the scenes of sexual contact, both loving and brutal, are treated with sensuousness and sensitivity. Throughout The Golden Dice we are reminded of the texture and appearance of skin and fabric, the resonance of smell, the beauty and power of landscape:
He stepped out when the snowfall ceased and the wind eased. Caecilia, legs cramped, decided to join him. She breathed in the crispness, delighting in the fresh snow coating the ground away from the road. Soon the commoners were staring at the principes who had decided to get their boots wet, no doubt thinking them foolish for swapping coziness for chill
Caecilia surveyed the bleak winter landscape. Once the woods had been dense with shimmering summer green, or the autumn blanket of russet and purple. Harvested for its timber by the Romans, the forest was growing sparser and sparser, raw stumps instead of the stark silhouettes of winter.
Two other aspects of Storrs's writing make this book such a satisfying read. One is the masterly way that exposition of the political machinations of Rome and Veii is embedded in conversations that ring with truth. The other is the breathtaking amount of research. Etruscan history is fairly elusive but Storrs has soaked herself in it to a marked degree – not that the research is obvious in her work; it is more like a very rich and nourishing soup that bathes the whole narrative.
There are maps and an index of words as well as titles of books that informed Storrs's research. A great deal of practical information is made available to us. I was amazed by the fact that Veii and Rome were only 12 miles apart across the Tiber. Indeed, the novel has prompted me to think of many aspects of the times; things like hand-to-hand fighting, the notion of an enemy so close by, the fragility of life. This is a stimulating and clever novel and it is very pleasing to know that The Call to Juno, a third volume in the series, is currently being written.

Film studies is a field of study that has been gaining increasing attention in recent years. It is a field of study that examines the impact of film on society, culture, and the individual. It is a field of study that looks at how films shape our understanding of the world and how they influence our behavior. Film studies is a field of study that is both interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary, drawing on a variety of disciplines such as sociology, psychology, anthropology, history, and media studies.
Film studies has become increasingly important in recent years due to the increasing prevalence of film in our lives. Films are now a major part of our culture, and they have a significant impact on how we view the world and how we interact with it. Films can be used to educate, entertain, and even to influence our behavior. As such, it is important to understand the impact of film studies on society.
The first way that film studies has had an impact on society is through its ability to educate. Films can be used to teach us about different cultures, different countries, and different ways of life. They can also be used to teach us about history, science, and other topics. Films can be used to help us understand complex topics and to provide us with a better understanding of the world around us.
The second way that film studies has had an impact on society is through its ability to entertain. Films can be used to provide us with an escape from our everyday lives. They can be used to provide us with a sense of relaxation and to help us forget our troubles. Films can also be used to provide us with a sense of joy and to help us to appreciate the beauty of life.
The third way that film studies has had an impact on society is through its ability to influence our behavior. Films can be used to influence our attitudes and beliefs. They can be used to encourage us to think differently about certain topics or to take certain actions. Films can also be used to encourage us to be more open-minded and to be more tolerant of different cultures and beliefs.
Finally, film studies has had an impact on society through its ability to provide us with a sense of community. Films can be used to bring people together and to create a sense of belonging. They can be used to create a shared experience and to foster a sense of understanding and empathy. Films can also be used to create a sense of solidarity and to help us to understand the struggles of others.
In conclusion, film studies has had a significant impact on society. It has been used to educate, entertain, and influence our behavior. It has also been used to create a sense of community and to foster a sense of understanding and empathy. Film studies is an important field of study that has the potential to shape our understanding of the world and to influence our behavior.

I come to Pasolini's St. Paul with the disenchantment of a romantic.
In 2012, I made a film about Pasolini1 inspired by his heresies, his spectacular excesses (the 400 blow jobs in the novel Petrolio), and his mosh-pit destruction of liberal politics (from pro-choice to sexual liberation). My disenchantment is due in no small part to my immersion in his polemical certainty, proffered at the end of his life in the mid-1970s, that no redemption or revolution can manifest without being absorbed and sold back to us through the machinations of consumer capitalism. Not sure redemption or revolution in the dollar bin is what I'd take anyway: I am suspicious of how I find its tawdry uselessness nostalgically attractive. I'm not even sure I can swallow Vaclav Havel's parallel polis in which today's revolutionary goes "off the grid" to grow kale in a community garden or stays in the street pitching a tent in Lower Manhattan. Then again, why not?
Location-scouting photograph for Accattone (1961). Image courtesy of Archivio Pier Paolo Pasolini.
The precision of Pasolini's illogical, fragmentary, and asymmetrical sequencing in this book enacts the conflict of doubt and conviction as it wrestles in the endless mud bog of the apostolic project.
Pasolini's St. Paul is a richly intertextual document that looks back to the New Testament and ahead to Paul's contemporary rehabilitations like those of Alain Badiou (who wrote this volume's forward).3 But this is also a document through which all of Pasolini's films are figured explicitly, from the criminality of Accattone to the fascism of Salò (here transposed to Vichy France). In this sense, the "unfinished film" that this text outlines has already been made in the body of Pasolini's work. Still, I wonder how this particular film might have been imaged. Certainly there could be no chance, following Salò, of realizing it in the archaic spirit or style of The Gospel According to Matthew. Especially since the Pauline film, like his last, rests on an indictment of a Fascism whose project is finally realized in the little "f" fascism of consumer capitalism, the homogenizing of all the diverse ways of being human.
One can therefore imagine this text as more of a road map (like Pasolini's location scouting in Palestine for Matthew) for the intellectual whose thoughts are territories, bridges, walls, and quicksand. Not as if thought were bridges, walls, or quicksand, but literally as bridges, walls, and quicksand. The problem for the intellectual in social struggle is that thought without concretization appears as an absence: the reductions of topography that dissolve in GPS apps, invisible even in the cartography of those objects that descend from spindles in old classrooms, or those that open up with their folded creases on the carpeted living rooms or wooden dining tables of future travelers. This text has about it the craft and temporality of a maker. It summons its production to walk with a hand-held camera. Pasolini's location-scouting documentaries express, in walking, how an individual becomes a social being: shaped, restricted, determined by things like bridges and walls but also by the gaze, glance, apprehension of others. That is, in being recognized as strange by another stranger, one dissolves.
The Pauline church is not the diabolical creation of Luke and the other Apostles. According to Pasolini, it is the holy union between men (and women, I hope). But alas, this America, two weeks before the completion of Pasolini's first full draft, will assassinate M.L.K. on a Memphis balcony, the same balcony where Pasolini's Paul meets his end.
Pasolini's text tries to unravel the cynical power-grip of oppositional thought housed in the binaries of us/them, white/black, man/woman, capitalist/anarchist, etc. This exercise makes for an exquisite film; a journey by which one becomes "nothing," especially Paul.5 Like all good figuration, this text activates a "film" through its associative provocations precisely in the spaces/gaps between conjured images. In the book's final "internal dissolve"—a lovely translation for the word of a temporal ellipsis in film that does not also depart the physicality of space—Paul remains an embodied contradiction, not achieving the redemptive transcendent state of disembodiment, but suspended in the liminality of an unoccupiable space. But like thought itself (and revolution), this project of unraveling certainty is in fact never finished. Which proposes the vital injunction of this text: despite or in spite of our cooptability, one still acts.
What value is there in the humility of service to others if conducted in the name of the Father? If one's fatality is the only path towards redemption, salvation, or freedom the only reason to act is to fulfill a pre-ordained promise. One wants will—free or otherwise—not a puppet-master. In either case (will or fatalism), an act derives from an internal impulse (perhaps governed by its own laws) which, if left untempered by an interval of reflection, produces one act after another, but no justice.6 This book can then be seen as a meditation on a hope that cannot possibly hope. In the certainty of M.L.K., whose promise rings in the hollow failures of Obama, there is still a ringing, like the Pavlovian church bell that accompanies me as I leave the subway in Brooklyn.
The bell tolls to mark time—the fallacy of it, the profound material certainty of it. For the sublime both threatens and holds us. This is not the dime to the beggar because it doesn't solve the problem of poverty and it is not the problem of poverty that demands a redistribution of wealth no matter how small. It is in the seemingly insignificant acts that make up each of our days, that together, cumulatively, slowly builds to one thing: death. A life's meaning therefore only comes at its end in retroactive significance, confirming itself in the act of dying. And only in that existential commonality can the divisiveness of the categories, which we imagine to exist and to oppress us, also dissolve. When shooting stops and writing ends, when the actor turns to finally exit, only then can "redemption" or "revolution" manifest. In silence. In light. Now that is a film that should remain unfinished. Though I, like everyone, will be present for its inevitable release.

2018 Jaguar MK2. Design director Jaguar Ian Callum used to draw cars when he was a kid. Like the rest of us, he knew exactly what he wanted. Unlike most of us, although he had some talent with a pencil, the talent of course is very well-worked to a full-time job as a car designer.
It is now one of the very few people in the world to turn dream car teenagers into the real thing. Based on Makki's success, McKay was launched in 1959 and Jaguar's compact sports salon took on new heights. The design was improved only skillfully, but the interior was a great improvement.
The Jaguar Mark 2 by Calum is a redesigned hand-built one of the most famous sports sedans in the world. Vision is Ian Calum: Skillfully crafted, larger wheels, more power, better suspension, interior upgrade. The implementation is the work of the leading British classic car restoration and engineering company of classic automobile cars from Bridnorth (thickness).
The 2018 Jaguar MK2 by Calum is more than just a serious personal obsession, however: the thickness of the building will create a limited number of copies for customers with deep pockets and a desire to push something truly unique. Calum himself will exceed the final details. The 2018 Jaguar MK2 can be built by Kalum in left or right drive, and with manual or automatic transmission.
No two cars will be completely alike. At some depth, elemental level, the classic car game is all about middle-aged men reconnecting with their childhood. You can see it in the way The center of gravity in the world of classic cars turns into high-end events Events: The men who remember the Dysenbergs, the Packards and the Cadillac V-16 when they were children were replaced by the men who spoke about Ferrari 250 Gaults, Shelby Cobras, Lamborghini Miros when they were In middle school.
You might expect, after that, that when Ian Calum finally got his hands on the 2018 Jaguar MK2, he had one restored to the perfect case showroom. Most of the exterior chrome was removed, except for the glittering shine around the curved 2 clear greenhouse mark. One subtle touch in particular: Remove the chrome strip that runs from the front of the bonnet and along the body side at the top of the doors.
So its power to smoothness then with every trick set in the book to promote Jaguar. Well not actually. While it is true that companies such as Compass of Guildford did not convert E-type eating mac 2s, no one spares thought to Daimler. So Jaguar overlooked the option of a manual gearbox allowing only auto spray to be option. Turning the stick completely transformed Daimler giving it a Nai on a 3.4 performance performance with 25 mpg economy.
But get this. When Robin Reed used Daimler's engine in his Dragster, with nitrous oxide and blower that a 2 liter developed 1200 bhp, blowing all the small chifes in the weeds. Robin always calculates that the standard entry manifold will throttle the 2018 Jaguar MK2 but if that can be changed then the possibilities will be endless. But with a decent weight distribution, the Daimler will handle very well, though without the Lored power strips possible in 3.8.
If it is the excitement you want then the largest Engend Mk 2 must be one. There is something about those great power units that highlights the devil, and is able to deal with my modern annoying nuisance. However, if you want to retreat, tune into the classic mouth, then Daimler is the one for you. It's not really fair to compare Daimler to 3.8 m 2 but as 2.4 / 3.4 v8 v8 vents in the nice between the two.
It was also a great success on the race track – the 2018 Jaguar MK2 was a model for the development of the factory was built-in October 1960, which was sold in 1962 to a special racer competing with it throughout Europe. Now lovingly restored, it is still involved in the historic motor sport today. With low steering guidance and a dead straight forward feeling, The road mikes some get used to.
With a reputation for Wonderster that quickly cut the tail slide into the wet, they took the skill to drive quickly. Eight years of continuous improvements were seen, but by the end of the 1960s McKay was by his rivals. But this great Jaguar has bolstered the company's reputation for building impressive sports saloons – something that lives on today's lips. As the £1500 salon that only the most unusual sports cars can keep up with, it's easy to understand why Jaguar has become a model of choice for the rich and famous.

Q: redirect one file to two differents files depending on the presence of a query string I'm in the process of migrating my blog to a new platform (dotclear > drupal) and I'm trying to redirect the old URLs for the RSS feeds to the new feeds.
There are only two types of feeds (articles or comments), each in two flavors (RSS or atom), so that's only 4 URLs to redirect.
My problem comes from the fact that the feeds for the comments are basically the same as for the articles, plus a query-string (?type=co). So here are the rules that I have:
Redirect 301 /blog/rss.php?type=co   /rss-comments.xml
Redirect 301 /blog/rss.php           /rss.xml
Redirect 301 /blog/atom.php?type=co  /rss-comments.xml
Redirect 301 /blog/atom.php          /rss.xml

This works fine for the articles feeds (without query-string), but the rules for the comments feeds seem to be ignored and they simply redirect to the article feed with a (useless) query-string.
So /blog/rss.php?type=co is rewritten to /rss.xml?type=co instead of /rss-comments.xml.
What am I doing wrong?
I tried changing the order of the rules, with the same effect...

A: You can't match query string using Redirect directive. Use RewriteRule like this:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^type=co$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^blog/(rss|atom)\.php$ /rss-comments.xml? [L,NC,R=301]

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^blog/(rss|atom)\.php$ /rss.xml [L,NC,R=301]

Confused. By this time you have read this word four times already. That much is the confusion I have. I was confused whether to start with just confused or confused with three question marks. I am confused again and I think I am putting you in a confusion also. I can't help it. I am confused a lot.
This is my condition for last three days. A simple conversation between me and one of my acquaintance that happened at an annual meeting. Usually such conversation never affect me but it's strange that this time it's not the same. It struck me like a sharp edge of a blade. Now that gives pain.
Topic started with what I do? He wasn't aware of my qualification. He jumped just because he was working under my friend who was my batch mate. That friend is a government servant. So do this acquaintance. In India, and I suppose anywhere around the world, if you have government job then you have a special value. An engineer like me is like a gem. It's a different thing that I am still in the coal form.
He started to tell me about my friends success. How much he earns and all that stuff. I don't care about that as it's not much importance to me. And he kept talking about how an engineer as a government servant earns. After a peak point I got distracted. Is money all the thing?? Isn't there value for anything else?? I earn a lot less than what my batch mates earn. And the relation Money=Success applies everywhere. So I felt I haven't tasted success yet. That feeling gave me pain. Now I am getting confused. What next to do? Should I go after money or just continue my journey as is.
This success is not just important for me, but for my parents. They want me to be successful and like all other parents success for them is directly proportional to the amount of money you earn. Till date I never thought of working as government servant. It just suxxx. But now I may have to rethink.


CEO of the Verily, Andy Conrad shared that the most important equipment of the medical field is the computer. In the age of the internet, all people in all over the world can take the use of a tool to search for the information of the nearest restaurants, or the best school in the areas as Google. However, the researcher cannot find out the meaningful answer for the medical problems by the same way.
Conard calls it as the google's human biological system. Sadly, the information that the scientists need is not easy to find, it is usually situated in the web which is very difficult to access. Conard shared in the conference of the Future of Genomic Medicine.
He shared a huge number of the ways that this tool works; however, he said that it will consist of an integrated library with a wide range of the learning machine technology. It cannot work as wonderful as the human, but it can give the response for the questions.
He confirmed that the group of the Verily who have operated in the office with the area of 50.000 square meters in the south of San Francisco which is adjacent to the head of the Alphabet. The number of the employees is not exposed, but Conrad shared that he will hire about 1.000 employees in the next month.
The medical is quite similar to the art rather than the science. Gathering the information related to the medical fields is a new idea. IBM Watson and other larger web application development company also develop the artificial intelligence technology to serve this field. However, according to Conrad, Verily has the approachable ways to consider the learners as the center. Therefore, the medical is the same as the art instead of the science. Verily is cooperating with other organization to ask for the rights of the patients, parents, and doctor to find out the way of integrating the data which we cannot see in the science newspapers.
This is not the first breakthrough in the field of people's health. The main service of the Google health was put an end by the year of 2011 after the failure of appealing the users.
Conrad said that he learned a lot from the past failure. In the fist period of developing the health products, they have many great engineers who enable to work with the rest parts of the world, especially at Google. The most interesting that they mad after is changing all the offices and transform it into the laboratory filled by physicists.
In the future, Conrad revealed that Verily will seek the way to integrate the data from the smartphone into their database. Some devices such as the smartphone, smartwatch, and the health bracelets will be the great providing data sources. Conrad said that in the near future we can take the advantage of the smartphone to identify our health circumstance. People usually wonder about the future of the medical. He thought that the most vital equipment in the medical field is the computer.

Are there any countries with no elections at all?
I was browsing the Wikipedia article on Voting age and the following map struck me. The colours refer to different ages, full legend here:
Regardless of other restrictions (only men, only one party, etc.), this map seems to show every single country in the world has some form of elections.
Is there any country with no elections at all?
See also: Are there countries considered socialist that do NOT have parlaments and elections?
gerritgerrit
elections of what kind? to select the government only? or any kind of election? – Alberto Bonsanto Dec 9 '12 at 18:28
Any kind of officially sanctioned election. – gerrit Dec 9 '12 at 18:30
The Vatican does have elections, just only cardinals get to vote for the Pope. And since the entire population are employees of the Catholic Church, it's not too far off- anyone inhabitant who doesn't like the system could quit their job, and they would no longer be a Vatican citizen – user2399 Jan 6 '14 at 4:32
Based on this Wiki article and its links:
Brunei seems to have no elections (see details in @gerrit's asnwer)
Qatar has no elections. But this will presumably no longer be true in 2013
he Consultative Assembly (Majlis as-Shura) has 35 appointed members with only consultative tasks. However, the 2003 Constitution of Qatar calls for a 45 member elected Legislature, which is to be made up of 30 elected representatives and 15 appointed by the Emir. In 2006, Prime Minister Al Thani – then the Deputy PM – announced that elections would be held in 2007. However, only a legislative council to review the subject was created that year. The actual elections have been postponed three times; most recently in June 20103, when the Emir extended the Consultative Assembly's tenure until 2013
Oman is kind of an edge case. You can make arguments that it has elections, and arguments that it does not - the actual process is caucuses selecting representatives, and Sultan appointing them; and the parliamentary body has no true legislative powers either.
Saudi Arabia only has municipal level elections, but not country level.
Somalia didn't have elections between 1980 and 2012. No longer true as they held an election in 2012.
UAE (United Arab Emirates) is another reason to quibble.
The Federal National Council (al-Majlis al-Watani al-Ittihadi) is the UAE's legislative body and consists of 40 members. Half are appointed by the rulers of their respective emirates, and hold all of the council's political power. The other half, who have only advisory tasks and serve two-year terms, are elected by a 6,689-member electoral college whose members are appointed by the emirates.
Brythan
The answer depends on "in theory" or "in practice". Although in theory, elections in Brunei exist, there haven't been any for a long time. According to the Wikipedia article on Politics in Brunei:
Under the 1959 constitution there was an elected Legislative Council (Malay: Majlis Mesyuarat Negera), but only one election has ever been held, in 1962. Soon after that election, the assembly was dissolved following the declaration of a state of emergency, which saw the banning of the Brunei People's Party. In 1970 the Council was changed to an appointed body by decree of the Sultan. In 2004 the Sultan announced that for the next parliament, fifteen of the 20 seats would be elected. However, no date for the election has been set.
I want to add something to the excellent answer by DVK.
Vatican has no elections. The city officials are appointed by the Pope, who is elected by cardinals. The cardinals it turn are appointed by the pope.
Antarctica is governed by the Antarctic Treaty System. Its administration, the Antarctic Treaty Secretariat located in Buenos Aires is headed by Executive Secretary. He is appointed for a four-year term by the foreign powers, who are signatories to the treaty, at Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meetings.
AnixxAnixx
Not sure if Antarctica counts (it's not a country). Good call on Vatican though – user4012 Sep 18 '13 at 13:59
Aren't you self-contradictory? If the Vatican has no elections, how is there an election for Pope? – Bobson Jan 9 '14 at 14:47
@Bobson the question was about popular elections, it was stated clear by the asker. – Anixx Jan 9 '14 at 20:19
Eritrea hasn't had any elections practically since its independence in 1991.
samayosamayo
Erithrea is not a great example. They have local and regional elections, for sure. They also have a law and a plan for national elections, but in practice postponed them due to conflict with Ethiopia. That was why I excluded Erithrea from my answer. – user4012 Dec 22 '12 at 4:32
The war with Ethiopia was 10 years ago. Plus, local and regional elections is not the OP's question. – samayo Dec 22 '12 at 4:38
And, it is Eritrea. – samayo Dec 22 '12 at 4:39
Please add the source to your claim. Even while it was referenced by DVK in the comments it would make a better answer if you would include the original ref. – Sven Clement Dec 22 '12 at 16:40

Best Of 2021: Lyrical Black Ballots
As the year comes to an end, The Browser gives another look to some of the best pieces we read in 2021.
Waxing Lyrical
John Launer | British Medical Journal | 22nd June 2021
All about earwax. It is "unique in the human and mammalian body" due to its position "in our sole anatomical cul-de-sac". Impacted earwax can be debilitating and disorienting, but attracts little sympathy — it "probably lies close to the bottom of the hierarchy of suffering". It is a problem that we take to the pharmacy, rather than the doctor. "There was an intimacy to having one's ears syringed by a family doctor that has now been lost" (1,259 words)
The Last Black Stage
Harmony Holiday | Believer | 1st June 2021
Joyous and sad, angry and lyrical, the writing ripples outwards from a literal premise that "backstage" is the best place to be at jazz and blues clubs, towards a wider argument that the sub-set of Black life performed in a mostly-white public gaze merely hints at an infinitely richer Black life going on "backstage" across America. Illustrated with cameos of John Coltrane, Billie Holiday, Nina Simone et al (2,800 words)
Abolish Secret Ballots
O.B. Haag-Lied | Everything Studies | 1st April 2021
The publication date should be taken into account, but, even so, a seriously interesting troll. "Today we have the frankly intolerable situation where selfish or ignorant people can vote for policies that harm others and there's no way to hold them accountable for their actions.

The Art Of Negativity
Enis Yucekoralp | Przekrój | 2nd February 2021
Against the modern cult of relentless positivity and productivity, "one of the many curses of late capitalism". "In its stress-inducing suppression and dangerous infantilism, the almost dogmatic nature of toxic positivity inhibits raw human emotion and invalidates the necessary negative feelings we all have in life." Negativity is natural, freeing, and essential for self knowledge (2,221 words)

Foreclosed Possibilities
The Fallacy Of Success, by G. K. Chesterton (1915)


Needle mat is a new fiberglass reinforcement product. The needle mat is made from continuous fiberglass strands or chopped fiberglass strands randomly looped and laid on a conveyer belt, then needle stitched together.
Use: primarily used in fiberglass molding processes such as GMT, RTM, etc. Typical products are automotive running boards, architectural panels, large industrial panels and other FRP products.
1. No binder or other knitting material used to bond the mat together.
2. Good resin flow ability and impregnation capability. No white strands.
3. Strand has good resistance to wash ability and suitable for RTM, GMT and other molding processes, 20N/100MM.
4. The mat is suitable for thick molded components because of its strong tenacity.
providing a smooth finished surface.
6. The mat is fluey and convenient for running.
1) Needle Mat is primarily used in fiberglass molding processes such as GMT, RTM, AZDEL.
mould compression, pultrusion and lamination.
1)Fiberglass needle mat can be apllied on all kinds of electrical appliances, such as small home appliances, toaster,electric frying pan,Micro oven,air conditioner as the thermal insulation pad.
2)The feature that fiberglass needle mat used in the silencer has: high rate of porosity, high rate of porosity, low thermal conductivity. Moreover,fiber glass mat has good performance at heat insulation (700°C), corrosion resistance and high tenacity. Thus, it has been widely used in automobile, motorcycle muffler area among many car makes big country. The theory is as follows: First, the use of its excellent sound insulation properties to achieve noise reduction; second, owing to the use of its good thermal insulation properties, the chemical reaction of the hybrid gas can be carried out fully in the exhaust pipe under the high temperature environment, then achieve low exhaust emissions.
3) The surface of the fiberglass needle mat can be coated with aluminum foil or plastic sheets, fibercloth and so on.Then,after being processed into strip,it can be used for the the thermal insulation and protection of the hot and cold pipes and underground pipes,Moreover,it can be applied to the heat insulation and sound insulation of color-coated steel tile ,generator etc.
4)Fiberglass needle mat immersed in resin processed into plate can be used as thermal insulation sound insulation materials for housing construction and air-conditioning.

Does Major League Baseball Still Have a Drug Problem?
MLB will conduct more than 10,000 tests this year, but some players continue to use PEDs.
The "steroid era" in baseball may not be over.
"They cheated. Steroid users don't belong here," Major League Baseball Hall of Famer Joe Morgan wrote in an open letter late last year to the Baseball Writers Association of America, whose members vote on which ballplayers are to be enshrined in Cooperstown.
Morgan — the quintessential "back in my day" crank — received some pushback over his letter, specifically regarding his moralizing over performance-enhancing drug (PED) use during the so-called "steroid era." Critics have noted that Morgan's black-and-white moralism makes no mention of the many unsavory characters forever designated as Hall of Famers, to say nothing of the long-standing use of foreign substances in the game which unquestionably contributed to statistical anomalies, especially in Morgan's day.
Amphetamines — known as "greenies" — were an indelible ingredient in the baseball diet for decades until they were banned in 2006; overtly racist owners and commissioners (such as Tom Yawkey and Kenesaw Mountain Landis) who helped keep baseball segregated are honored in Cooperstown with nary an asterisk on their plaques; Bud Selig is in the Hall of Fame despite having illegally colluded against the players as an owner and presiding over the "steroid era" as MLB commissioner; even Gaylord Perry is in the Hall despite writing a book — Me and the Spitter: An Autobiographical Confession — whose very subject is how cheating helped immortalize his career.
Ethical inconsistencies aside, what Morgan's letter makes plain is that the reckoning over whether players implicated as PED users (whether by failed drug tests or a preponderance of investigative evidence) should be inducted into the Hall of Fame is upon us. However, the two decades commonly understood to encompass said era actually constitute three distinct periods.
In the late 1980s, steroids were more associated with weightlifting or track and field than baseball, but we now know their usage was beginning to creep into MLB locker rooms, most epitomized by the Oakland A's "Bash Brothers" duo of Jose Canseco and Mark McGwire.
Then there were the late 1990s and early 2000s — the Wild West era following the devastating 1994 players' strike — where baseball's owners, administers and sports media turned a willful blind eye as home runs left the park in record numbers and previously wiry athletes turned into hulking professional wrestlers.
Finally, there were the mid-late 2000s — technically the "post-steroid era" because PED testing had been established — but the punishments were so lax and the scope of testing so limited that a Hall of Fame-caliber player like Alex Rodriguez was evidently able to beat scores of tests administered by MLB's supposedly state of the art scientific enforcement regime, before being caught by an ethically questionable MLB investigation into his dealings with the euphemistically-described "anti-aging" lab Biogenesis. Further confusing the issue is baseball's mysterious therapeutic use exemption (TUE) program, which confidentially grants players permission to use banned substances for medical reasons. In A-Rod's case, he was granted a TUE to use testosterone in 2007 and all he did was hit 54 HRs and win his third MVP award.
But lost in the argument over the legitimacy of the "steroid era" is an essential question: Is the "steroid era" really even over?
In the present "post-steroid era," where MLB conducts over 10,000 PED tests a year, players continue to get busted for PEDs both in the majors and minors. The details of those failed tests continue to disrupt the previously-accepted narrative — that "juiced-up" players get big and hit for power — as partially evidenced by thin, contact-hitting All-Stars Dee Gordon and Starling Marte, both recipients of 80-game suspensions in 2016 and 2017 respectively.
The already murky narrative gets muddier still when one considers the fact that after briefly dipping for a few seasons, home runs are up — way up — as demonstrated by the annihilation of the all-time record for home runs in a season. The previous high water mark of 5,693, set in the peak steroid era year of 2000, has since been surpassed by 2017's mark of 6,104 dingers.
Still, MLB is proud of its testing program, which the league believes is an effective deterrent for would-be PED scofflaws. Seven major leaguers out of over 750 were busted last year (four for steroids, one for a masking agent and two for banned stimulants), with an approximate rate of just 1.2 percent of major leaguers failing drug tests over the past three years. The numbers are similar in the minors — which has a three-year positive test rate of approximately 1.58 percent — but a closer look at the data is revealing.
* 55 were pitchers, 30 were hitters.
* 38 violations were for steroids. Of these, 27 violators were pitchers, 11 were hitters.
* 21 violations were for "drugs of abuse," which could be described as recreational or performance-detracting drugs.
* 14 violations were for various stimulants, be they amphetamines or markers of drugs used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
* The remaining violations were either for masking agents, estrogen blockers (used to prevent the body from creating estrogen after an unnatural infusion of testosterone), or "undisclosed" substances.
Among the striking takeaways is the preponderance of pitchers busted, as the outrage over how PEDs have affected the integrity of the game has generally been focused on the distortion of offensive statistics. It's also surprising, given the narrative that the "steroid era" is in the past, that old school and easily detectable steroids such as Stanozol and Turinabol (the latter of which was developed for East German Olympians and has been described by The New York Times as "an anabolic steroid straight out of a doping time machine") represent the lion's share of suspension-triggering substances.
An analysis of major leaguers suspended for PEDs since 2005 shows no obvious prototype of a "cheater." Young and old, star and journeyman, pitcher and hitter, they're all represented with no demographic vastly outweighing another. And while the punishment for a first offense has increased from the minuscule 10-game suspension of 2005 to the formidable 80-game ban of today, the stain of the "juicer" is all but gone. Gordon and Marte remain popular and effective players even after being outed as "juicers," and in Gordon's case, his offensive numbers are remarkably similar in the seasons before and after he was busted. Even A-Rod's image is somewhat rehabilitated, thanks in part to his well-received work as an incisive and self-deprecating TV baseball analyst.
It is unlikely the Major League Baseball Players Association would ever consent to such severe sanctions in the next collective bargaining agreement. But as the evidence demonstrates, it's folly to assume the use of PEDs in baseball exists only in a time since passed, making Joe Morgan's fit of pique over PED users in the Hall of Fame equally anachronistic.

Vulnerable man left without a bathing facilities for six months
By Iain MacDonald 27th May 2014 News EnglandMental Health, News England, Vulnerable Adults
A vulnerable man was without bathing facilities for six months because care providers failed to monitor him, say two ombudsmen.
The 31-year-old from Plymouth, who suffers from schizophrenia and Asperger's syndrome, was also wrongly charged more than £8,000 for accommodation and put at risk of financial exploitation.
Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman Julie Mellor, who conducted the investigation with the Local Government Ombudsman, said what had happened to the man was truly shocking.
"This vulnerable man was left suffering and was out of pocket by thousands of pounds because no one took responsibility for co-ordinating his care properly.
"The NHS has a duty to care for people with a mental health problem which doesn't stop when that person leaves a psychiatric unit or when a service is outsourced.
"This case demonstrates the shocking consequences when that duty of care is ignored.
"Opportunities to put things right were repeatedly denied because he had woefully insufficient aftercare plan reviews.
"He only had three in five years, when the Mental Health Act Code of Practice states that he should have had ten."
Local Government Ombudsman Dr Jane Martin said the complainant offered those responsible for his care, Plymouth City Council and the now abolished Plymouth Primary Care Trust, the chance to review and remedy matters, but they had not done so.
The man, who has not been named, was discharged from a psychiatric unit under the Mental Health Act in 2004 and the investigation found that the monitoring of the man's care after he was released was so far below what it should have been that it amounted to service failure.
It found carers expected him to manage his household money by using two tins, into which money was paid into or taken out and the information recorded in ledgers. But the investigation found that some of that data from the ledgers was missing, meaning the system was open to abuse.
It also found that at a flat where he lived for more than two years there were no bathing facilities for six months. There were also tensions between him and the landlord who was also his carer, which as the care company commissioned to look after him later acknowledged, was unacceptable.
Plymouth Council and NEW Devon Clinical Commission Group, which took over from the primary care trust, have been ordered to pay the man £6,000 each, as well as write a letter acknowledging their failure.
In a joint statement they said lessons had been learned.
"We acknowledge the findings from the ombudsman and sincerely apologise for the distress caused to the patient and his family by the failings of care.
"We want to learn from this complaint and are developing an action plan to identify how we could prevent a similar event from happening again to others.
"We have also resolved any outstanding expenditure to the patient and his family.
"Patients' care and safety remains at the heart of everything that we do and we want to reassure people that it continues to be the case."

Reports that a new Legoland is to open in South Korea are wide of the mark, according to Legoland operator Merlin Entertainments.
Local media had cited government officials as confirming a 280,000sq m (3,013,895sq ft) Lego-based theme park, which would open in 2016 and aimed to attract more than one million visitors per year.
The reports said Legoland Korea would be located on a 1.29sq km (13,855,444sq ft) site on Jungdo Island in Chuncheon, Gangwon Province, with Merlin investing US$97m (€70m, £58m) as the operator, while LL Development, a special-purpose corporation for Legoland Korea, would invest US$374m (€270m, £222m) in the park.
However, a spokesperson for Merlin Entertainments said no project in South Korea had been agreed or was near agreement – even though the site was one it has been looking at, among others, for potential expansion of the Legoland concept across the world.
The spokesperson added that the next project Merlin was likely to announce was not a Legoland in South Korea.

They will start construction on August.
Legoland project going ahead.
The plans will go forward as the Foreign Investment Committee under the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy has designated the 1.29-square-kilometer site for Legoland to be built on Jungdo Island as a Foreign Investment Zone.
Under the deal, Legoland Korea will receive a five-year corporation tax exemption with an additional 50 percent discount for another two years, and a 50-year free lease of the real estate on top of a 15-year property tax exemption.

Korea has now been chosen to be the first country in East Asia to host a Lego-themed amusement park.
Legoland Korea will be built on Jungdo Island in the city of Chuncheon, Gangwon Province.
The 1.3 million square-meter park is expected to cost about 470 million U.S. dollars, with the British theme park company Merlin Entertainments agreeing to chip in 94 million dollars to fund the project
According to the video that is in the link construction for the park will begin next month

Medical history is full of horror stories, but few could give rise to a horror movie. This one can. Over half a millennium ago, a misunderstanding about how blood circulation works nearly made the pope into nosferatu.
In the late 1400s, medicine and manslaughter were pretty much indistinguishable from each other. While there were some remedies that did treat the illnesses they were prescribed for, plenty of people were given things like urine and mercury to counteract malaria. They were bled, they were kept in dark rooms, and they were given purgatives that dehydrated them to death.
Many medicines revolved around the vital fluids in the body, which were known to be important, even if no one knew exactly why or how to administer them. People knew that blood was necessary to stay alive, but they were far from understanding the workings of the circulatory system. Doctors came to believe that they could blood into the veins via the same route that food took to get into the body. Reputedly, the first person to try out this experimental procedure was none other than the pope.
Pope Innocent VIII did not live up to his name. He played politics, had illegitimate children, and sold high offices in the church. Then again, few people are so bad that they deserve fifteenth century medicine. When Innocent VIII lay dying, his doctors decided that they would try a blood transfusion. Before his death, Innocent had to gulp down strange blood in an attempt to save his life or turn him into a vampire. Tough to say which. Innocent would probably have been content with either, but the treatment didn't work, and he soon died.
It had to have been unpleasant for Innocent, but it was probably even more unpleasant for whoever "donated" the blood. The rumors vary. Some say that it came from consenting donors. Others say that people were murdered to obtain enough blood. One rumor even states that Innocent drank the blood of young Jewish boys. There's no way to verify any of the rumors. It's enough to know that, when it doubt, even the educated and pious went to straight vampirism.

AfDB approves regional hydropower PPP to increase electricity supply and integration in Burundi, DRC, Rwanda
18-déc-2015
The African Development Bank Group approved, on Wednesday, December 16, USD 138 million[1] of loans and grants toward a project which will help develop the energy sector in Burundi, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda through the construction of the Ruzizi III Hydropower Plant and associated transmission line. The project is expected to increase electricity trading between the Economic Community of the Great Lakes Countries (ECGLC) through the supply of reliable and sustainable clean energy.
A reliance on fossil fuels for electricity generation have led to serious electricity supply problems within the ECGLC countries impeding economic activities already slowed due to decades of conflict. The USD 625 million Ruzizi III Hydropower Plant Project entails the construction of a run-of-river dam (on the Ruzizi River between DRC and Rwanda downstream of Lake Kivu and from the Ruzizi II hydropower dam), of a 147 MW power plant and an 8.3km 220kV transmission line to the Kamanyola power dispatch center.
Upon project completion, Burundi's current total capacity is expected to double, while Rwanda's is expected to increase by half. DRC's share is further expected to raise supply in the Eastern region currently not connected to the national grid network. The project will displace significant amount of fossil based power in the ECGLC region and increase the percentage of green energy. Additional benefits of the project include the creation of permanent and temporary jobs and a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.
Alex Rugamba, AfDB Energy, Environment and Climate Change Department Director stated, "Sustainable regional infrastructure is a necessity element for strong regional integration and key to successfully tackling today's most challenging climate change-related problems. The Ruzizi III Hydropower Plant Project is central to AfDB's strategic vision for the development of the African energy sector through the promotion of universal access to low-carbon and inclusive modern energy."
This is the first regional project designed as a public-private partnership (PPP) aimed at optimizing the hydropower potential of the Ruzizi cascade while taking advantage of private sector management efficiencies. For its implementation, a private partner, acting in the capacity of investor/developer, will be recruited and awarded a concession. This partner will be required to develop the project, be a majority partner in the project company with the three countries concerned and secure the necessary commercial debt.
The Bank Group allocated USD 138 million to finance the Ruzizi III project. The financing comprises a USD 29.5 million grant from the African Development Fund (ADF) to Burundi, a USD 63.5 million grant and USD 21 million loan from the Transition Support Facility (formerly Fragile States Facility) that were granted to DRC and Rwanda will benefit from an ADF loan of USD 24 million. The project is also supported by the Agence française de développement (French development agency), European Investment Bank, World Bank, Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau (German development agency) and the European Union.

In a game which saw Conor Hourihane score his first ever international goal at senior level for the Republic of Ireland as the hosts ran out 1-0 winners, the main topic of conversation after the match was regarding the unusual manner of protest which the Ireland fans undertook - throwing tennis balls onto the pitch.
The balls were hurled onto the pitch in protest of John Delaney's new role with the FAI, as the 51-year-old stepped down from the position of CEO of the association to become Executive Vice-President of the FAI - new role created just after he resigned from his previous post.
Fans have been unhappy with Delaney for many years, due to awarding himself massive bonuses on top of his £421,900 annual salary, while cutting wages for FAI employees by up to 15% and having the organisation pay his rent of £3,515 each month.
Delaney also has a court appearance in April where he will be asked to explain a personal loan of over £100,000 which was provided to the FAI two years ago in order to help the association with a "short-term cash flow issue". This loan was not present in the FAI's audited accounts.
When the 33rd minute of the game at the Aviva Stadium versus Georgia, play was held up for three minutes while Hourihane waited to take a free kick just outside the Georgian box. Eventually, stewards cleared what looked to be around fifty tennis balls from the playing area and the Aston Villa man proceeded to slot the ball into the back of the opposition net.
Former footballer Damien Duff angered viewers with his opinion on the matter, as he explained that the protest was "ridiculous" on Irish television, adding: "I think where Georgia nearly scored is three minutes in, there were four minutes added on and that was because of the tennis balls.
Ireland boss Mick McCarthy had his say after the game, saying he was "concerned that it would affect our concentration". McCarthy went on to say: "I didn't want to take a free kick and then Georgia break on us. But I don't think it affected the game at all.
This likely won't be the last we hear of John Delaney and Irish supporters protesting against him, as this looks like a battle that will go on until he has left the FAI altogether. Whatever happens, as long as it doesn't make a negative impact on what happens on the pitch, the majority of people will agree that supporters should be able to make their voices heard.
