Gone with the wind is the NFL off season, camps ended with rookies drawing excitement and the pre season concluded with the leaves changing colors. It is September and Week 1 is upon us. Moon Man has narrowed down the wide receiver position to the "Top 100". The goal is to rank players according to their value. Consistency is key as Fantasy Football Friends want the least amount of headaches during the season. It is frustrating to have questions lingering weekly around players. If we draft or drafted a player who we can plug in weekly. Knowing what to expect. It alleviates the anxiety and stress of being a fantasy owner. Then the fun begins and ultimately a playoff appearance in our Fantasy Football Leagues.
Moon Man is a SELLer on these 3 Week One Fantasy Gems!
Week 1 of the 2016 NFL season is in the books. Moon Man is thinking on which Fantasy players are fools gold or worth buying. Moon Man recommends selling these 3 top performers from the opening week.

The transfer of invasive organisms by ballast-water discharge has become a growing concern. UV treatment has become an attractive ballast water treatment technology due to its effectiveness, no harmful disinfection byproducts and easiness to handle. Two robust algae strains Microcystis viridis and Tetraselmis suecica were selected as indicator organisms to determine efficiency of medium-pressure (MP) UV-treatment on ballast water. Inactivation and potential repair of these two algae strains following MP UV irradiation were assessed under various turbidity, total organic carbon (TOC) and salinity conditions. The investigated range of UV doses was from 25 to 500 mJ/cm(2). For M. viridis, results indicated that disinfection efficiency was negatively correlated with all of these three factors at low doses (25-200 mJ/cm(2)). Photoreactivation and dark repair were promoted at high TOC levels (6-15 mg/L) with about 6-25% higher repair levels compared with those in distilled water, whereas no significant impacts were identified for turbidity and salinity on both of the photoreactivation and dark repair. For T. suecica, increased turbidity and TOC levels both hindered the performance of UV irradiation at high doses (200-500 mJ/cm(2)). Suppressive effects on photoreactivation and dark repair were consistently observed with changes of all of the three factors. In conclusion, generally these three factors resulted in repressive effects on UV disinfection efficiency, and TOC played a more significant role in the levels of reactivation than the other two. The responses of T. suecica to these three factors were more sensitive than M. viridis.

Takai lays out DoD IT reform challenges
By on	 April 21, 2011 Defense
Teri Takai says she isn't naïve about the challenges in executing departmentwide information technology reforms at the Defense Department.
As DoD's chief information officer, she's up against more than 7 million computers and devices connected to 15,000 networks, 772 data centers and IT infrastructure that is scattered across DoD services. There's also the challenge of garnering support from services' CIOs, who have their own pots of money for IT projects and programs.
"It isn't like I can sort of sit in my office and put a directive out and everybody goes "oh that's a really great idea Teri, I better run back to my office and do that,'" Takai told an audience of mostly government contractors at an INPUT event Thursday.
The push is toward more centralization and standardization of platforms that can ultimately support adoption of cloud computing.
"If we moved to a cloud environment with the technology the way it is today, we will make our world worse, not better, because we will now have our internal data centers to control as well as who knows what is in what cloud," Takai said. She added that DoD will not be able "to move in any way into a cloud environment if we do not move to a more standardized environment."
Don't forget the security piece. Takai has made it clear that the environment must be secure and continue to be secure.
As for data center consolidation, she said DoD is still at stage one. The department has agreed to shutdown 344 data centers by 2015, the biggest undertaking of any federal agency, but has just begun looking at physical data centers and virtualization. DoD will develop the remainder of its plan throughout the year, starting with consolidation within the services first.

I'm tempted to write about the general upbeat feeling of Birmingham City fans but I don't like basing my judgement on views expressed online and the number of fans I've heard from in the last couple of days is rather small. It would be more honest to say that my postman and a couple of other fans I know are quite enjoying the season so far. I was afraid that Ipswich's last minute equaliser on Tuesday night would have turned Saturday's joy into doom and gloom. But the fans that actually go to games seem to appreciate the way the team are playing and are content with 4 points from the first 2 home games.
The game against Brentford tomorrow is a reminder of past rivalries when Blues were down in the 3rd tier with them. In 1991 we beat them over 2 legs in the semi-final of the Leyland Daf Cup. In 1995 they were our rivals for promotion and there were 25,581 at St Andrews on April 26th when we beat them 2-0 to stay top of the league. I'm going to the game tomorrow and am looking forward to it. I will be in the seats as I'm getting a bit too old to enjoy standing for a whole game. I also thought the crowd might be a little more inebriated than usual as there seem to be so many good pubs in the area; during the game in Bruges in 2011 I had a drunk falling onto me and didn't enjoy the experience. I sympathise with fans who can't face watching a game when sober but prefer a cup of tea myself. One of the things I like about football is the wide range of people that enjoy it and that at games I meet people that I would mix with in no other context.
On the theme of fans being different, I was interested in the article about PSV Eindhoven fans protesting against the introduction of Wi-Fi at their stadium. They think that support has been lessened by distracted fans looking at their phones instead of the match. I'm with the Dutch fans on this; I go to watch the game and even if I had a smart phone, which I don't, I wouldn't download the Blues Hive app. "He shoots. He scores. You tweet." the announcement of the app proclaims. No you don't; you cheer and talk about it with the people near you in the crowd. That's an important part of the match day experience – meeting actual people in the flesh.

The short story is that, no matter how unsustainable or inefficient our entitlement programs may be, the burden of proof is absolutely on the party that wants change. Back in 2005, we constantly asked our opponents, "Where's your Social Security plan? When will you put something on the table." Had they done that, President Bush's plan would have appeared in a far better light. But Nancy Pelosi's answer— literally, according to Time Magazine—was, "Never. Is that soon enough for you?" And guess what? She paid zero political price. The public doesn't care if the other side doesn't have a plan. They do care if your plan appears to threaten them.
That's why the Romney campaign needs to come out strong. They need to point out that it was President Obama, not Romney, who cut $700 billion from Medicare to fund other priorities. Listening to Democrat Debbie Wasserman-Schultz on the Sunday shows, you'd think it was the other way around.
Next, Romney's campaign needs to proactively head off false attacks on Ryan's Medicare plan. Voters needs to know three things about Ryan's Medicare reform proposal co-sponsored with Oregon Democrat Ron Wyden. First, no one over the age of 55 would be affected in any way. Second, traditional Medicare fee-for-service would remain available for all. "Premium support"—that is, government funding of private insurance plans chosen by individuals—is an option for those who choose it. No senior would be forced out of the traditional Medicare program against his will. And third, overall funding for Medicare under the Ryan-Wyden plan is scheduled to grow at the same rate as under President Obama's proposals. Is this "gutting Medicare" and "ending Medicare as we know it"? In reality, it's the market giving seniors cheaper, higher quality choices they can take if they wish, with the traditional program remaining an option.
The Ryan plan does not get rid of Medicare. People now and in the future can choose to stay in it. Ryan does propose new Medicare enrollees age 65 would get to pick between private insurance plans offered in a new Medicare exchange in 2023, where Medicare would compete with private insurers for their business.
The insurance must cover a base level of benefits, must cover pre-existing conditions, can't charge higher rates based on health condition or age, plus it must offer a minimum threshold of coverage. The federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services would regulate the plans.
The federal government would pick up the tab for premium support, and pay that subsidy directly to the insurer of their choice, with seniors paying the difference. If the plan is cheaper than Medicare, seniors get a rebate check.
And the more ill or poor the Medicare enrollee is, the more government insurance support they get in the Ryan plan.

Today, Akemi and I braved the cold to make the walk down to Matty's Pattys Burger Place for – what else? – their rapini sliders.
Juuuuuust kidding.
Two cheeseburgers for me, one with pickled jalapeño mayo and the other with their spicy ketchup sauce, both, of course, served on sesame seed buns.
Man, there is nothing I love more than a good smash burger, and Matty's serves up a great one complete with trademark crispy end bits.
We headed home. I was absolutely stuffed. But there's a term in Japanese, betsubara (literally: second stomach), that basically means: "There's always room for dessert." In today's case, it was the eclairs from Nugateau…
The His and Hers matching set: the Rosabelle (with Raspberry Rose & Mascarpone Cream, Raspberry Compote, candied almonds Chocolate Glaze with 🌹 Rose 🌹 Petal) for Akemi and the Pistachio Royale (Pistachio Cremeux, White Chocolate Glaze, Candied Pistachios, Whipped Pistachio Ganache!) for me. Perfection!

Many have commented that Stargate is NOT underrated – to which I strongly disagree. Maybe not underrated within its passionate fandom, but as someone has taken endless meetings in L.A. with genre executives who have never even hard of the franchise, I can guarantee you it IS underrated.
And since we're on the subject – check out some cool concept art from SG-1's "Frozen" compliments of James Robbins…

Agree about underrated. I love all things science fiction… for the most part. I would say I rate Stargate a step above Star Trek but we all know that Star Trek is the one that gets the most attention.

Yesterday I had a Bacon Cheeseburger from Burger King. Or, I guess I should say I choked one down. It was too dry. It was just hamburger, cheese, bacon, 2 pickles, and a little bit of ketchup. No lettuce, no onion, no tomato, no mayo. There was more ketchup in the packet they gave me for the fries than what was on the hamburger. The bacon tasted good though.
Your burger up there looks good. As does that dessert!! Yum!

genre executives ? They must not get out much. My son is working on the side for a company making a Stargate card game. The interest is out there.
The food looks amazing! I wish I could follow you both around and get the scraps. 😉

This move apparently pushed the music up the charts on various systems — hitting the very top of the Rdio chart for Australia. In response, he released a second album, and saw it jump to the second spot (behind his first album) within a matter of weeks. Any human listeners, not surprisingly, were not particularly happy, and he got flooded with bad reviews, but it didn't much matter. His favorite comment: "I call it troll music." There was also one that said: "it might sound good on cocaine like when it was made, but this isn't music." He did get a single iTunes purchase, though.
MOG and Spotify actually appeared to suspect something was up and cancelled certain accounts. Spotify killed the accounts he had set up to listen (but not the actual music accounts) though he's not entirely sure why — though he suspects a few things that made it obvious they weren't legit (he didn't try that hard to cover his tracks). With MOG, he suspects it was because almost no one uses the service, so someone probably noticed the anomaly situation pretty quick. Rdio, however, kept the albums up at the top, and even sent out promotional emails to people pushing his albums.
In the end, he apparently spent a grand total of about $30, but brought in decent royalties. Of course, once the story came out, his music's been pulled from most of these services, though he's started posting it to his own website, though even he admits that he can't listen to it the whole way through.
Of course, this was all done for the purpose of research. He was interested in a variety of things, including the fraud-checking on various music services, how royalties on these services work (he's got some data there as well) and various other things about how to make this kind of setup work. He also noted that when his accounts were suspended, almost no info was given, and he points out that this could also lead to a way for someone to attack a rival musician to get their works taken off of these services without warning or explanation.
The other question that I have is if Fillmore has opened himself up to any legal risk. I'm not sure how much he actually made in royalties, but I could potentially see some companies arguing it was a type of fraud. If he were in the US, I could even see some crazy CFAA charges thrown at him, because that's the sort of crap that happens in the US under the CFAA. Hopefully calmer minds prevail and this is viewed in the spirit it was done: as a research project which popped out some rather interesting results (and some really bad music).

'Archer' Season 9 Might Not Return to 'Dreamland'

Few would deny Archer took the creative route of dealing with its incapacitated lead by a trip to Dreamland, but will the ninth, or potentially final season bring us back to real life? According to creator Adam Reed, Season 9 may pick up with yet another new theme.
You're warned of full spoilers for Archer: Dreamland from here on out, but Season 8's finale surprisingly declined to return from the "real" Archer's coma, instead ending on a dour note of the noir Archer and Pam mourning lost loved ones. Among them, Aisha Tyler's Lana Kane was surprisingly killed off, and Reed tells UPROXX the ninth season remains open-ended as far as cast and setting:
Is Aisha Tyler going to be back? Are we going to see those characters again?
I don't know… I don't know. We'll see. You know, it does take place in Archer's head but I don't know that we're going to necessarily come back in season nine and instantly be back in the present.
So, it still could take some time in the Dreamland world?
Or in a different world.
Reed also noted that producer Matt Thompson had been developing "a really exciting framework" for Season 9, as well that they still consider Season 10 a likely stopping point for the series. Reed has ideas for Season 10 (and a final episode) as well, but we shouldn't necessarily expect that story to return to real life either:
I guess, season seven ended and Archer was in a coma… I don't necessarily feel like we have to go back and see him wake up or die from that particular hospital bed. But yeah, I guess I have an obligation to do that, but I don't feel the obligation — if that makes sense. I know I should do it, but I don't know that I will do it.
It remains to be seen when in 2018 FXX might schedule Archer Season 9, but is Dreamland worth revisiting, even without Lana?

@agbeltran , I suggested we wait since how the relevant issues will be actually addressed is still under discussion, so I was thinking it would be a bit premature to include their description in the FPWD.
Said that, I wouldn't object if the Editors decide otherwise.

The Perfect Wedding Reception Playlist.
The dress, the food, the speeches...all memorable moments from your big day.
But did you know that one of the top things your guests won't forget is the wedding music?
Whether you're hiring a live band or rocking a DJ, you still need to come up with a wedding reception playlist full of killer tunes. Because your playlist can either make or break your wedding reception.
How can you get it right? Read this guide to find out how to get all the laughs, feels, and booty bumpin' your big day needs.
Lists, Lists, and More Lists!
When you're planning a wedding, you'll find yourself planning and making lists of anything and everything. In fact, women spend an average of 9.8 hours a week planning the big day.
And the same diligence is sorely needed when planning wedding songs. Sit down with your fiance and make a list together.
Plan wedding songs for:
walking down the aisle
your first dance
mother/father dances
the final song of the night
It's important to do it together because the playlist should reflect the personality of BOTH of you.
Any Requests?
The bride and groom have total control over the first dance and other personal songs. But when the party gets started, the bride and grooms personal tastes are not the number one priority. You need to give the people what they want!
A simple way to find out what the crowd likes is to ask them. Some couples even add a "Song Request" section to their RSVP's. Others leave "Music Request" cards on their tables.
Another easy way to find out what your guests want is to use an online music platform to create a collaborative playlist. Share with your family and friends and watch the suggestions roll in.
Wedding Songs for the Perfect Playlist
When planning music wedding reception ideas, it can be easy to only pick the songs you like. But there's more to it. Keep these next 4 major points in mind when collecting wedding songs.
Mix up your playlist with a variety of genres. Because not everyone wants to listen to Frank Sinatra all night and others might feel exhausted if you play hard rock songs from start to finish.
For a balanced night of fun music, mix it up with classic romantic tunes, modern dance songs, and other genres you enjoy. But if there is a genre that you totally hate, don't feel obliged to add it to your playlist. It's your big day, after all.
When collecting fun music for your reception, it can be easy to add one fast-beat hit after another. But that's just going to wear out your guests too quickly. Vary the tempo throughout the night.
Gradually build the crowd up with dance songs, and take them back down with slower romantic songs. You can do this by playing 1 slow tune for every 5 upbeat songs.
Avoid popular songs that have overly-negative lyrics. While they might be trending right now, they will give off negative vibes on a day that should be full of joy. And if you're not sure about the lyrics, if in doubt, keep it out!
And whatever you do, don't forget to prepare enough songs. There's nothing worse than having to put songs on repeat halfway through the night. For an average reception, about 3-5 hours of music should be enough.

The Fleece Hotel in Cirencester will join the Twaites Inns of Character collection
Brewer Daniel Thwaites has acquired The Fleece Hotel in Cirencester as part of ongoing plans to create a 25-strong group of character inns by 2016.
To be operated under its Shire Hotels brand, The Fleece features 28 en-suite bedrooms, two 40 and 50 cover restaurants plus a bar and courtyard.
The sale was managed by property agent Christie + Co, which had been employed to seek out new sites for the brewer in its bid to create a nationwide chain of hotels that offer "excellent food, traditional ales and good value accommodation".
Anthony Spencer, managing director of Shire Hotels, said The Fleece's Cotswolds location would make the venue popular with the area's tourists.
"The Fleece has everything we look for in a site for one of our Thwaites Inns of Character, including a long tradition of welcoming visitors to the area," he said. "Cirencester is a great commercial location and, as the Capital of the Cotswolds, its appeal to the leisure market is proven. We will commence a major re-development of The Fleece in the coming weeks and it will join the Thwaites Inns of Character collection in late summer."
Christie + Co will continue to seek further sites for the Thwaites Inns of Character group.

Much of South Africa sits on a high, flat plateau. The eastern part of this plateau is a grassland region known as the Highveld. In the west, the plateau descends into semi-desert, called the Karoo. A mountain chain in the south—the Great Escarpment—curves round towards the eastern coast, where it joins the jagged Drakensberg range. Southwestern South Africa is a region known as the Cape, from the Cape of Good Hope, the headland on the coast where the Atlantic meets the Indian Ocean. Here the warm climate is similar to that of the Mediterranean lands of southern Europe. Much of the rest of South Africa experiences a warm, temperate climate, with temperatures kept moderate by its high altitude and ocean currents.

We have an ESXI server with 12 CPU and 64 GB of RAM with currently running on it 14 VM at the same time.
The thing is that we want to set a limitation on the user or other to allow only 10 VM's to be started/online together not more (maximum allowed VM's running together should be like 10). Once someone try to start the elevenths VM, he will not be able to do it unless he suspend or shutdown another VM.
Would this be possible to be applied?
The ESXI version used is 4.1 free license.
Usually, you would have a server that has the resources to accommodate all your VMs, or scale out to another ESXi server.
Purchase a VMware vSphere Essentials license for approx $700, which will give licenses for three hosts with two processors each, and vCenter Server.
You can them manage all your VMs across two or three servers from a single management server.
I did already purchase a license 5.1 and i have applied it on another server (we have 2 ESXI server). I will apply the license on the second server soon, but first i have to figure out if the above is applicable because it's becoming frustrating.
What resources are being starved?
Have a look at Active Memory in the VMs, and try to reduce it across all the VMs, or insert more memory in the server.
what i want is an answer to my question is it possible or no? is it impossible?
You could try setting memory reservations on the various VMs.
Then you can only power on VMs until the sum of the memory reservations exceeds physical memory.
This will not give you an exact number of VMs that you can power on, but it will prevent memory from being over allocated too much. And prevents the server from becoming too slow.
How large you set the memory reservations is something you need to experiment with. You could start by setting it to 80% of the VM's allocated memory.
The solution I presented here should have given the author a good work around for his problem.

CHENNAI: The Music Academy will continue refurbishing the stage in its music chamber and launch a quality book to commemorate its 80th anniversary, the Academy president and Managing Director of The Hindu, N. Murali, said here on Thursday.
Addressing a function where clarionet vidwan A.K.C. Natarajan was conferred the prestigious 'Sangita Kalanidhi' title, Mr. Murali said the ongoing facility upgrade and modernisation drive to enhance the ambience was made possible with donations from philanthropists.
Mr. Murali noted that as against the global economic meltdown, the Academy was fortunately facing "the ripple effect of an altogether different kind — the generous and benign variety of ripple effect of donors supporting the institution in a big way over the last two years."
Pointing to the keen interest shown by rasikas in "The Music Academy-Tag Digital Listening Archive" — a donation by its committee member R.T. Chari — he appealed to collectors to share their recordings to enrich the archives for the benefit of students, rasikas and scholars.
Pointing out that there was no commercial interest in the initiative, Mr. Murali said the executive committee would, in due course, be able to formulate norms for membership and accessing the digital archive.
The "Sadas" on Thursday also coincided with the formal closure of the 82nd conference and concerts of the Academy. It would host a dance festival from January 3 to 9, he said.
S. Ramadorai, CEO, Tata Consultancy Services, conferred the 'Sangita Kala Acharya' title on mridangam exponent Mavelikkara Velukutty Nair and Bharatanatyam dancer Sarada Hoffman, the TTK Award on violinist Annavarapu Ramaswamy (in absentia) and vocalist Palai C.K. Ramachandran, and the Musicologist Award on ethno-musicologist S.A.K. Durga.
Mr. Ramadorai suggested the creation of a National Music Portal, perhaps under the Ministry of Arts and Culture, to bring about greater collaboration among institutions devoted to music. The portal would not only be a one-stop resource site for rasikas and researchers but also help to preserve fading art forms such as folk music and natya sangeet.
"An effort must be made towards popularising and educating people on the basics of the art." He noted that an attempt on these lines was being mooted by a private organisation.
Replying to the felicitations, Mr. Natarajan termed the honour the high point of his life. More so because it was conferred by the very institution that had nurtured him to global fame.
Vocalist P.S. Narayanaswamy said Mr. Natarajan was a man who combined depth of musical knowledge with disarming humility.
Vocalist V. Subrahmaniam felicitated the awardees.
Mr. Ramachandran attributed the honour to the blessings of Semmangudi Srinivasa Iyer for whom he had provided supporting vocal for nearly 40 years.
N. Ramji and Pappu Venugopala Rao, members of the Academy, spoke.
Several artistes including Umayalpuram Sivaraman presented shawls to Mr. Natarajan.
Prizes and various endowments were presented to outstanding performers in this year's edition of music concerts.
Mridangam maestro Kaaraikudi Mani entertained the audience with a 90-minute "Pancha Vadhyam" concert.

Q: Using masks on abnormally sized words I am writing some code where I need to code/decode 56-bit (7-byte) words and 112-bit (14-byte) words.
I am used to dealing with 32-bit words.  If I need to extract bits 23-25 from a word I just do this:
int unpackBits23To25( uint32_t word )
{
    return (word>>22) & 0x7;
}

or in a more generic manner like this:
int unpackBits( uint8_t word[14], int startbit, int endbit )
{
  int mask = (0x1 << (endbit - startbit + 1)) - 1;
  return (word >> (startbit - 1)) & mask;
}

It's fairly easy to see what I'm trying to do (a shift and a mask). But what about if I'm extracting bits 23-25 from a 112-bit word?  Instead of using uint32_t I would need to use something else.  A uint64_t would work for 56-bit words, but since I also have 112 bit words, I'll need to store it in an array of something.  uint8_t[14] is probably my best bet.
int unpackBits23To25( uint8_t word[14] )
{
  return ((word[5] >> 3) & 0x1) | ((word[6] << 1) & 0x6);
}

That wasn't too hard to write, but is completely illegible if you want to read/troubleshoot it.  I haven't tried the generic solution yet, but I have a feeling that it's going to be a monster.
How would you recommend to do bit-wise operations on obscure word-sizes?

A: Here's a generic way to extract a single bit from a byte array treated as a bit array:
uint8_t value = (word[bit/8] & (1 << (bit%8)) != 0;

For a given range of bits to extract, you can loop through each bit and place them into a result:
uint32_t unpackBits( uint8_t word[14], int startbit, int endbit )
{
    uint32_t result;
    int i;

    for (result = 0, i = endbit; i >= startbit; i--) {
        uint8_t value = (word[i/8U] & (1 << (i%8U)) != 0;
        result = (result << 1) | value;
    }
    return result;
}

Companies can fail if they focus on the solutions they provide and don't understand WHY customers buy from them. Your customers buy from you to get a job done, or to solve a problem. If you know what this is, you can provide even better solutions for longer term success.
Facebook is a great channel to grow your audience. But getting people to 'like' what you do requires more than just sharing what you do; you need to know your audience and post content that engages them to react - to like, share and comment.
People don't necessarily go to Facebook to purchase, so getting your audience to consider purchasing from you often involves engaging with them on other channels over a longer period.
Is writing blogs feeling like a chore? This simple blog formula will have you writing your blogs in under 15 minutes.
From the very beginning, Google's brand promise was to be the world's number one source of information. Everything they have done or plan to do is to achieve this promise for its customers, staff and stakeholders.
A brand promise is the 'why' of the business. It makes it clear on why an organisation exists, what they do and who they do it for. It is often called a business purpose.
There can be a lot of 'noise' in your local paper. So, getting your ad seen by your target market can be both an art and a science. And once it's been seen, make sure your customers know what action to take so you get the best return from your investment.

The strike at Bullards in Norwich. The man at the front (holding the poster) with the eye-patch was Albert Crowe of Lakenham. He has been recognised by his son Victor, now aged 90. And yes, the worker did get his job back.
At last... the story of the brewery strike in Norwich many years ago following the sacking of a worker after a cat was found in a beer vessel can be told.
"That's my dad," said 90-year-old Victor Crowe, pointing to the gentleman, with the flat cap and patch over one eye, holding a placard at the front.
"I remember him telling me about the walk-out which resulted in the worker being reinstated," said Victor who was delighted to see the photograph published the other day.
His father, Albert Daniel Crowe, was a Norwich-born lad who lived at Lakenham and was lucky to escape with his life during the First World War.
"He served in the medical corps and was badly hurt when a shell hit him in the head. He often wore an eye-patch when he came home," said Victor.
Like so many others Albert rarely spoke about his terrible time in the Great War a century ago.
"I remember his frost-bitten feet. Lumps and bumps all over them. He had to go to the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital to have a special pair of boots made and fitted. Sometimes he found it difficult to walk," said Victor.
When he returned from the front-line Daniel got himself a job at the big Anchor Brewery, the home of Bullards – and that's where this strike was. These men worked hard in tough conditions... and they stood up for their rights.
"We lived at Mansfield Lane and I used to go to the brewery on a Sunday morning. It was his job to keep the vats hot, make sure the fires were going. It was hard work and he was always sweating. But the smell was lovely. I have never forgotten it," he said.
"Cats were also part of the workforce. They were brewery cats to kill the rats trying to get into the sacks containing the malt," added Victor, who lives in Norwich with his wife Jean.
"I vividly remember watching the men stoking the vats and the smells. It was lovely to see the photo of my dad. It brought back many memories," he said.
Albert worked at the brewery until it closed and ended up as the controller at Wells, the well-known taxi company in Norwich.
Victor, who served with the Norfolks during the Second World War, went on to be a fireman on the steam locomotives operating in and out of Norwich. With the arrival of diesel he left the railways to work as a taxi driver.
Bullards founded the Anchor Brewery near St Miles' Bridge in 1837. It went on to be a huge operation. Brewing ceased in the 1960s and in 1972 the site was sold to a private developer. It is now known as Anchor Quay.
Watch this space for the story of Bullards which stopped brewing 50 years ago. They made a fine pint for a fine city.
Is this Norwich's most bizarre strike?

Le Potez 27 est un sesquiplan monomoteur français conçu en 1925

Historique

Le Potez 27  est développé par la société des Aéroplanes Henry Potez. Il dérive directement du Potez XVS, par implantation d'une voilure sesquiplane à mature simplifiée de Potez 25 sur cet avion. Cette modification améliore le plafond, la vitesse maximale et l'emport de charge par rapport au Potez XV.

Le Potez 27  vole le  et intéresse la Pologne, alors en pleine production sous licence du Potez XV. L'intégration d'une nouvelle voilure permet d'augmenter les performances de l'avion sans changement majeur des chaînes de fabrication. Le carénage du moteur est amélioré.

Un total de 175 exemplaires est produit. Vingt avions sont construits par Potez en 1926 puis deux séries de soixante-quinze et quatre-vingts machines en Pologne par PWS.

Un appareil en état de vol est capturé par l'armée allemande en 1939.

Researchers Retract Paper That Predicted Early Death Of CRISPR Babies
By Afiya Qureshi 3 months
2018 gave the world the first genetically-altered babies. Soon enough, concerns over their future health piled up, with an alarming study even raising the tragic possibility of shortened lives for the newborns. The sensational paper publishes in Nature last month, however, has been retracted by the authors themselves who now admit that the way they were looking for signs in a mutated gene in a data sample left had many discrepancies.
The subject of the now-removed research is a gene called CCR5 whose usual job is to detect chemical signals used in immune responses. Unfortunately, the deadly human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) evolved to use the gene as an agent to illicitly enter cells. CCR5 is a receptor on white blood cells and ever since its role was discovered, scientists started scrutinizing it to explain if we really need the gene. They found that those who carry a single copy of its broken version called delta-32 are less susceptible to HIV than the rest of the population.
SEE ALSO: There's A Safer Way To Test Developing Fetuses For Genetic Disorders: Here's How
In November 2018, a Chinese geneticist named He Jiankui claimed to have used the engineering technology CRISPR-Cas 9 to alter the CCR5 genes in human embryos to artificially give them resistance. He initially suggested at least one of the twins was carrying two altered CCR5 genes. While they don't appear to match the delta-32 variants, it was enough to invite speculation over what kind of lives the children might have.
HIV resistance is no doubt a breakthrough, but such individuals with low-quality CCR5 receptor raises the risk of developing other health hazards.
University of California population geneticist, Rasmus Nielsen and his colleagues intended to answer these questions. They looked through similarly altered versions of the CCR5 gene in the UK Biobank's giant genetics database, estimating about one percent of the records in the database coming from individuals with two delta-32 variant copies of the gene. Importantly, they calculated that this tiny fraction was 21 percent more likely to die before their 76th birthday, compared with those at least one 'normal' copy of the gene.
SEE ALSO: A Woman Had Her Genes Edited To Treat Anaemia, Here's What Happened Next
Their tall claims obviously invited scientific inquiries with people delving into the statistics to search for similar correlations, but no to avail.
So where did Nielsen and his colleagues go wrong? The cause of the discrepancy could lie in how the data was collected in the first place. One way to work out whether a person has a specific gene is to simply use a template that sticks to a target sequence. These probes don't always work perfectly, meaning some people will incorrectly appear as negative in the database. By undercounting the number of people with the CCR5 delta-32 receptor, Nielsen risked masking the true impact of the mutation, making it look like there is a difference in mortality statistics. Which is why, he asked for the paper to be retracted.

This is an important lesson not only in how science values self-correction, but how researchers need to take it slow as they sift through population-sized databanks in search of new discoveries.

THE FINANCIAL PHILOSOPHER: What is the Price of Pursuing Happiness?
What is the Price of Pursuing Happiness?
If happiness "happens," what does that say about all the time and money we put forth for the purpose of manufacturing it?
In addition, the energy spent on the acquisition of more money for the ultimate purpose of pursuing happiness has a non-financial cost that you must consider for yourself.
The tragedy is that money can buy pleasure (e.g. chocolate cake, a vacation, the acquisition of material objects) but pleasure is quickly consumed and leaves us hungry for more. Paradoxically, we seek to fill the empty spaces but instead we make the spaces larger and increasingly difficult to fill. We continue, then, to seek happiness but never fully realize that happiness can not be found -- it happens to us, it is accidental.
What is the price of pursuing happiness? Perhaps a better question to ask is What might you gain if you stop pursuing it?
Meaning, fulfillment and purpose all come to mind. Is it possible that happiness could be the lowest form of human gratification?
Greg, I agree. Meaning, fulfillment and purpose are all opportunity costs of seeking happiness.
If you want you can check my site too (http://www.devilandgod.com/) to discuss about philosophy.
Critics argue that the Bhutan government's implementation of a country-wide pursuit of happiness will mean sacrifices in material, or financial, growth for its people. Given that a majority of the people in Bhutan still live in poverty relative to the rest of the developed world, the critics may be right, but is the pursuit of happiness an unrealistic goal?

Avaya is transitioning from a hardware vendor to a software and services company now. Could you explain the motive behind this transition?
10 years ago, you had customers building up their own large enterprise infrastructures. Therefore, they were looking for complete solution build-outs within their own enterprise.
But what that meant for a company like Avaya was providing a server for every distinct feature capability that the customer needed. So, if a large customer wanted a complete customer engagement center platform to be built, Avaya provided between 10 and 15 servers to make that solution run.
As time progressed, customers started virtualizing, and VMware became more prevalent. A lot of customers started seeing the benefits of having virtualized environments where they could make use of fragmented resources across the enterprise.
So, among the 15 servers, it required the compute horsepower of only six or seven.
Given the fact that we power virtualization--be it VMware or Hyper V, depending on the customer implementation--I suddenly have the ability to tell the customer that if you've got a virtualized environment, you don't have to buy a server from us. Instead, you can use my software on your virtualized environment.
This helps Avaya as well as the customer. The customer has to buy fewer servers, he has a consolidated environment, and management or maintenance issues disappear to a large level.
Sounds swell, from a customer point of view, but isn't Avaya losing out on the hardware revenue?
Actually, if you look at it from Avaya's point of view, the hardware business was a distraction. Because if the hardware goes down, I become a point of failure. I've got to stock hardware in terms of disaster recovery, or downtime.
So, the cost benefit analysis works for me in terms of being able to have higher uptimes with the customer, as the hardware is no longer my responsibility. Therefore - no longer a distraction. I can focus on what I do best, which is other platform and the features that I give along with the platform.
This turned out to be a win-win for both the customer and for us. The customer now has a neater environment, better utilization of resources. It allows me to focus more on the software platform and the features that help address a customer need.
Now, where Avaya was proactive was in ensuring that before the customer had a virtualized environment, we had a virtualized and scalable capacity on our platforms.
Now with SMAC storming the enterprise, what does it mean for Avaya's desk phone business?
Now, the part that takes the phone out is mobile. With more customers adopting mobility solutions in their enterprise, the more you want the application on the device you're carrying.
So, in more evolved organizations, the concept of hard phones becomes redundant, and possibly, not necessary.
However, a larger majority still have hard phones at their offices, but the trend is catching on. The biggest driver here is the virtualized platform.
Also, another trend we've been observing is that the ultra-big guys asking for business models that are not Capex. Instead, they're asking me how many interactions I'm going to have by voice, on chat, or messaging. And they want a business model that pays per interaction.
How is Avaya targeting the smaller businesses for its IP Office? What's the roadmap for 2017?
If you go five years back, Avaya was predominantly a solutions provider aimed at the enterprise. So the minimum edition roll-out for an enterprise would be around $200,000 to $300,000.
But an SMB cannot afford this kind of a solution because they're looking for easy to roll out, and relatively low features.
So, three years ago, we came out with Avaya IP Office. This had relatively less features, but at the same time did more than what was required of the job. And this is all IT-based.
The problem we're facing is that we're so uniquely positioned in this space, that we need more partners just to cater to the demands. So, from a relatively low base, we've been growing over 100 percent for the last three years.
Now this has proven to be the most competent, feature-rich, yet economical platform on IP for the mid-market or SMB today.
In fact, the problem we're facing is that we're so uniquely positioned in this space, that we need more partners just to cater to the demands. So, from a relatively low base, we've been growing over 100 percent for the last three years, year on year.
Now, we're also targeting the tier 2 and tier 3 cities like Nashik, Nagpur, or Bhopal. So, we've got another 20 cities in which we'd be developing the partner ecosystems.
Is Avaya looking at venturing into newer verticals/LOBs in 2017?
Yes, we've looked at the BPO sector. The need of these BPOs from us, for voice-call support has come down. Also, they have moved up the value chain in terms of analytics.
What we've done with one of our customers is implement a voice-based caller authentication that eliminates the need for multiple security questions. This increases customer satisfaction and gives the company a foolproof way to enforce security.
In addition to this, we're focusing a lot on government sectors; we're looking to increase our relevance in the BFSI segment; healthcare is another segment we'll be driving at in 2017; and IT/ITeS will continue to be one of our prime focus areas.


The Wilson Dual Wide-Band Directional Antenna Kit (38083) is the best outside antenna choice in situations where you have a weak outside signal and need to support multiple carriers with towers in different directions.
Typically, when using a directional outside antenna, you're limited to covering a single carrier, or possibly multiple if their towers are in the same general direction. With this kit, you get the power of using a directional antenna and but can cover two completely different directions.
The Wilson Dual Wide-Band Directional Antenna Kit (38083) is the best outside antenna choice in situations where you have a weak outside signal and need to support multiple carriers with towers in different directions. The powerful directional antennas give you the power to boost even a very weak signal while have two allows you to cover up to 45% of the horizon instead of just 22% with a single antenna.
This kit is designed for 50 ohm signal booster systems.
To install, mount the included directional antennas on a pole within 3 feet of each other. Connect the included 2 ft. cables to the antennas, and then connect the other ends to the two ports on the splitter. You can now attach the splitter to your cell phone signal booster amplifier in the same way you would install a traditional outside antenna.
When aiming the antennas, it may be helpful to connect a single antenna to the signal booster at a time. Then, when you have the two antennas properly aimed, reattach the splitter to amplify the signal from both antennas at the same time.
2 ft. cables included. Cable to connect splitter to amplifier sold separately.

In line with Kenya's Government efforts of streamlining the Public Service, the Government came up with a Policy on harmonising terms and conditions of service in the public service.This meant that as an initial step the salaries of civil servants in Job Group A -T have been realigned to restore harmony and equity in the Public Service Remuneration Structure and Banding system.
The new salaries will apply to all officers in the civil service in Job Groups A – T who are paid by the Kenyan Government. These salaries will imply that those employees whose salaries are above these new rates shall continue to earn their current salaries while those whose current salaries are below the new salaries in their respective Job Groups will earn the new salaries.
The review of salaries in the Civil Service will in future be the responsibility of the recently created Salaries and Remuneration Commission of Kenya.It is expected that this will bring harmony and sanity to the Civil Service.

NSPS now provides security services at DOE sites in Oak Ridge
Posted at 11:27 am March 25, 2013
By John Huotari Leave a Comment
National Strategic Protective Services LLC announced Monday morning that it now provides guard services at U.S. Department of Energy sites in Oak Ridge.
NSPS won the protective force services work under a five-year, $182 million contract announced in January. The company will guard the East Tennessee Technology Park, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Joe L. Evins Federal Building, and part of the Oak Ridge Reservation.
"We are extremely pleased with the smooth transition and proud to be a part of the Department of Energy team at Oak Ridge," said NSPS President Ignacio Balderas. "The protective force services contract will be managed from the local NSPS office in Oak Ridge, and we look forward to playing an active role within the community."
The official transition from the previous security contractor, WSI Oak Ridge, to NSPS took place at 11:00 p.m. Sunday, a press release said.
"A lot of hard work has gone into completing this successful transition, and we're excited about welcoming NSPS to Oak Ridge," said Larry Kelly, manager of the DOE's Oak Ridge Office. "NSPS has assembled a highly qualified team, and we look forward to working with them as they manage the protective force operations on the Oak Ridge Reservation."
NSPS is a joint venture between Triple Canopy Inc. and Securiguard Inc.
WSI Oak Ridge had provided protective force services in Oak Ridge since 2000. But the company lost its contract to guard Y-12, a National Nuclear Security Administration site, after the July 28 security breach, and WSI did not win the contract to protect DOE sites, including ETTP, ORNL, and the Federal Building.
"The fact that 100 percent of the incumbent protective force has joined NSPS is very satisfying and helped facilitate a seamless transition," said Greg McDowell, general manager at NSPS. "We look forward to leveraging our leadership team's industry knowledge and decades of management experience to ensure the highest quality protective force services at the Oak Ridge facilities."
The press release said members of the NSPS team provide security at sites critical to U.S. interests at home and abroad.
"Triple Canopy provides mission support, security and training services to government agencies and multinational corporations in challenging locations worldwide," the release said. "Securiguard has served clients in the United States and internationally, by delivering security services including armed officers, administration, risk assessments, technology, and training."
The release said Oak Ridge is one of the U.S. government's most unique and critical facilities. It includes three major campuses that conduct multi-program science and technology initiatives on behalf of the DOE and other federal agencies.
The five-year NSPS contract includes a three-year base period and a two-year option.

B.C.'s inadequate heat wave supports heightened risks to vulnerable people: report
B.C. reported 569 "heat-related deaths" in the province from June 20 to July 29
Oct. 5, 2021 1:30 p.m.
The British Columbia government's inadequate support during an extreme heat wave this summer "compounded risks" for people with disabilities and those who are older, says an independent international human rights group.
Human Rights Watch says in a report released Tuesday that while those two groups are at greater risk of heat stress, many were left to cope with the dangers of record-high temperatures on their own.
Data released by the BC Coroners Service and the province on July 30 reported 569 "heat-related deaths" in the province from June 20 to July 29. Most of the the fatalities were people 70 years and older.
The report says Canadian governments and authorities must listen to and provide better supports to those with disabilities and older people before the next heat event.
"British Columbia does not have a heat action plan, and lack of access to cooling and targeted support for at-risk populations contributed to unnecessary suffering and possibly deaths," says the report, "Canada: Disastrous Impact of Extreme Heat."
Researchers examined the days from June 25 to July 1 for the report when B.C. "experienced a heat dome, a high pressure weather system that traps heat, with record temperatures of 49.6 Celsius."
Human Rights Watch says it interviewed 31 B.C. residents about their experiences during the heat wave period. The organization says it also contacted service providers, community leaders, human rights advocates, the B.C. government and City of Vancouver.
The Opposition Liberals and Greens were highly critical of the New Democrat government's response to the heat wave Tuesday in the legislature, pointing to earlier government reports that warned about the risks of heat events.
Interim Liberal leader Shirley Bond said Premier John Horgan's initial response to the potential dangers of the heat wave was "appalling."
"He said, and I quote: 'Fatalities are a part of life and there's a level of personal responsibility,' end quote," said Bond in the legislature. "Today, can the premier explain his government's failure to respond effectively to the deadliest weather situation in Canadian history?"
Horgan was not in the legislature during question period, but Health Minister Adrian Dix said the government was faced with a once-in-one-thousand-years weather event, but now that it's happened the government must learn lessons.
"It's no longer one-in-a-thousand years and it requires action to deal with resiliency and to support people," said Dix. "Everyone in this house is gutted by the fact people that we know in our community passed away that weekend. Gutted by it."
The minister acknowledged the people affected by the heat wave were the most vulnerable.
Dix said the government's efforts to fight climate change, increase income assistance payments, hire more staff at long-term care facilities and increase ambulance personnel will give the province more strength to battle the next challenging event.
"All of these actions make us more resilient but we need to do more," he said.

Henry Lawrence (1600–1664) was an English Puritan statesman. He graduated from Emmanuel College, Cambridge with an M.A. in 1627. He was commissioner of plantations in 1648, and a commissioner for Ireland in 1652. He served as an M.P. Hertfordshire and Carnarvonshire. He was appointed Keeper of the Library at St. James's House, in 1653. He was Lord President of the Council of State from 1654 until 1659. He also published three pamphlets between 1646 and 1649 on the doctrine of baptism.

Biography
Lawrence, born in 1600, was the eldest son of Sir John Lawrence, (died 1604), of St. Ives, Huntingdonshire, by his marriage, on 7 March 1599, with Elizabeth, only daughter and heiress of Ralph Waller of Clerkenwell, Middlesex, fourth son of Robert Waller of Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire. He entered Gray's Inn in 1617, before continuing his education at Queens' College, Cambridge and then Emmanuel College, Cambridge, where he became an MA in 1627.

At college he belonged to the puritan party. He was not only lineally allied to Oliver Cromwell, but was at one time his landlord, as he let to him his house and farm at St. Ives from 1631 to 1636. About 1638 he retired to Holland, probably to avoid the severity of the ecclesiastical courts. He returned in 1641, but was abroad again at the outbreak of the English Civil War. In December 1645 he was at Arnheim in Guelderland, and at Altena in January 1646.

On his final return to England he replaced one of the "disabled" members for the constituency of Westmorland on 1 January 1646. In July 1646 he was nominated one of the commissioners for the preservation of peace between England and Scotland, and on 17 March 1648 he became a commissioner of plantations.

Greatly to Cromwell's annoyance, in 1649 Lawrence expressed strong disapproval of the trial and execution of King Charles I. In 1652, being then styled "colonel" he visited Ireland as a commissioner for that kingdom.

On 14 July 1653 he was appointed one of the Council of State, and placed on several committees. In the Barebones Parliament of 1653 Lawrence sat for Hertfordshire, and after its dissolution was placed on Cromwell's new Council of State, his salary being £1,000 a year. In November 1653 the Council of State appointed him Keeper of the Library at St. James's House. At the second meeting of the Council he was made president (chairman) for a month, but by a subsequent order of Cromwell, dated 16 December 1653, he became permanent chairman, with the title of "Lord President of the Council". In the satirical Narrative of the Late Parliament (1658), Lawrence is said to have been made president to win over, or at least keep quiet, "the baptised people, himself being under that ordinance". John Milton, however, in his second Defensio Populi Anglicani (1653–1654), bears eloquent testimony to Lawrence's ability and learning. In 1654 Lawrence strove to assist Lord Craven in recovering his English estates, which had been confiscated in 1650–1651, and he had some correspondence with Elizabeth, Queen of Bohemia, on the subject.

In the First Protectorate Parliament of 1654 Lawrence was again returned for Hertfordshire, and the Second Protectorate Parliament of 1656 he was chosen for both Colchester and Carnarvonshire. He elected to serve for Carnarvonshire, and continued to represent it until his elevation to Cromwell's Other House in December 1657. On the death of Cromwell in September 1658 he declared Richard Cromwell his successor as Protector and ordered his proclamation. He ceased to act as president in July 1659.

After the restoration of the monarchy Lawrence withdrew to Thele, otherwise Goldingtons, a manor in the parish of Stanstead St Margarets, Hertfordshire, which he inherited on the death of his son Edward in 1657. There he died on 8 August 1664, and was buried in the church.

Family
On 21 October 1628 Lawrence married, Amy, daughter of Sir Edward Peyton, of Iselham, Cambridgeshire. They had seven sons and six daughters. His wife's extraordinary piety proved a fertile source of cavalier satire. To their eldest son (Edward or Henry) Milton addressed in the winter of 1656 his twentieth sonnet,  "Lawrence! of virtuous father virtuous son". Their younger son John emigrated first to Barbados, then Jamaica where he founded a wealthy dynasty of plantation owners.

Works
Lawrence was author of:
 Of Baptisms [anon.], 8vo [Rotterdam], 1646; another edition entitled A Pious and Learned Treatise of Baptism, 4to, London, 1649.
 Of our Communion and Warre with Angels: being certain Meditations on that subject, bottom'd particularly on Ephes. vi. 12 ... to the 19, 4to [Amsterdam], 1646; another edition, bearing a different imprint, was issued during the same year. The treatise is commended by Isaac Ambrose in the sixth section of the prolegomena to his Ministration of, and Communion with, Angels, first published about 1660, and also by Richard Baxter, in his Saints' Rest, 12th edit. p. 238.
 Some Considerations tending to the Asserting and Vindicating of the Use of the Holy Scriptures and Christian Ordinances; . . . wherein . . . the Ordinance of Baptisme . . .is manifested to be of Gospell-Institution, and by Divine appointment to continue still of Use in the Church, 4to, London, 1649; another edition, with different title-page, A Plea for the Use of Gospel Ordinances, 1652. This work, together with the Communion and Warre, is dedicated to the author's mother, who would seem to have suggested its preparation. It is principally a reply to William Dell's Doctrine of Baptismes.

Biografia
Ahmad Shah nacque all'Istana Mangga Tunggal di Pekan il 24 ottobre 1930. Era l'unico figlio di Abu Bakar Riayatuddin Al-Muadzam Shah ibni Almarhum Sultan Abdullah Al-Mutassimu Billah Shah, regnante dal 1932 al 1974, e della sua consorte ufficiale e regale, Tengku Ampuan Besar Fatimah binti Almarhum Sultan Sir Alang Iskandar Shah II Kaddasullah.

Studiò al Malay College di Kuala Kangsar e ottenne dei diplomi in pubblica amministrazione al Worcester College dell'Università di Oxford e all'Università di Exeter.

Il 7 maggio 1974, il giorno dopo la morte del padre, gli succedette come sultano.

Il 29 marzo 1979 fu eletto Yang di-Pertuan Agong. L'elezione fu segnata da polemiche, essendo considerato in contrasto con il primo ministro Mahathir Mohamad. Tuttavia, le voci si rivelarono false e il monarca dimostrò di essere un appassionato ammiratore del primo ministro.

Fu presidente della Federazione calcistica della Malaysia dal 1984 al 2014, presidente dell'Asian Football Confederation dal 1994 al 2002 e presidente dell'ASEAN Football Federation dal 2007.

Ahmad Shah fu una personalità controversa, ostinata, e spesso costrinse i suoi principali ministri a dimettersi per piccoli contrasti.

Il 28 dicembre 2016, con il suo consenso, suo figlio Tengku Abdullah venne nominato reggente del sultanato.

L'11 gennaio 2019, visto il perdurare delle sue cattive condizioni di salute, il consiglio reale, riunitosi in via straordinaria, decise la sua abdicazione. Lo stesso consiglio approvò un emendamento alla Costituzione del sultanato che attribuì poteri maggiori al consiglio stesso tra i quali quello di deporre il sovrano qualora fosse incapace di regnare per ragioni di salute. L'abdicazione entrò in vigore la mezzanotte del 15 gennaio. Gli succedette il figlio maggiore Abdullah, già principe ereditario e reggente. Il 24 dello stesso mese Abdullah fu eletto Yang di-Pertuan Agong.

Vita personale
Il sultano era sposato con Tengku Ampuan Afzan binti Tengku Panglima Perang Muhammad, membro della famiglia reale di Terengganu, che servì come Raja Permaisuri Agong e che morì il 29 giugno 1988. Dal matrimonio nacquero sette figli, due maschi e cinque femmine: Tengku Meriam, Tengku Muhaini, Tengku Aishah, Tengku Abdullah, Tengku Abdul Rahman, Tengku Hajah Nong Fatimah e Tengku Hajah Shahariah.

In seguito, nel 1991, si risposò con Kalsom binti Abdullah. La seconda moglie gli diede un figlio maschio, Tengku Abdul Fahd Mu'adzam.

Hobby e interessi
I suo hobby prediletti erano il calcio, il golf, il polo e l'equitazione.

Posizioni nelle forze armate
Come Yang di-Pertuan Agong, il sultano Ahmad Shah venne designato automaticamente, in base alle disposizioni costituzionali, comandante supremo delle Forze Armate malesi, assumendo il rango di maresciallo della Forza Aerea, ammiraglio della Marina Militare e feldmaresciallo dell'esercito.

Morte e funerale
Da tempo malato, morì al National Heart Institute di Kuala Lumpur alle 8.50 del 22 maggio 2019 all'età di 88 anni. Le esequie si tennero il giorno successivo a Pekan. Fu poi sepolto accanto alla prima moglie nel mausoleo reale.
