Following retirement from a career in electronics research at Bell Telephone Laboratories, Tom and his wife, Betty, moved to their former summer home in Washington, NH. Tom's first lampshade was completed in 1983, after three years of experimentation and self-teaching. Since then he has completed nearly 350 shades of various sizes, shapes and materials.
He works mainly with polished slabs of jade or jade carvings, often combined with milk glass. He also makes a few all-glass shades using pressed glass medallions, or special hand-blown glass fragments. All shades are signed, numbered sequentially, and dated. The designs are mainly his own, with an occasional shade being a gemstone interpretation of a Tiffany Studios design. He has been a juried member of the League since 1985 and usually will have a one-of-a-kind shade in the Living With Crafts exhibit at the Annual Craftsmen's Fair at the Mount Sunapee Resort in Newbury, NH. He has frequently collaborated with other members of the League who have supplied lamp bases and glass-craft featured in the shades.
Tom constructs his shades using a copper foil technique, similar to that used by the famous Tiffany Studios in the early part of the 20th century. Seams between individual pieces are soldered and then copper plated or patinaed as a finishing touch. He mainly uses nephrite jade from British Columbia, although occasionally will use nephrites from Wyoming, Siberia, and New Zealand. He slices the jade into slabs about the thickness of window glass using a diamond-tipped sawblade. He polishes the slab using lapidary techniques, and then cuts and grounds it to the final shape. The light shining through the jade in the finished shade often reveals inclusions and constituents of the interior which are not otherwise seen. He has made a few shades using polished pieces of agate, rose quartz, amethyst or other translucent stones. Some of his shades are made with frosted fragments of colored art glass "scraps" produced in a tumbling process that produces a simulated "sea glass," which looks as if it had been washed up on the beach.
Tom Talpey's shades can be found in the homes of collectors from Maine to California and from Florida to western Canada. A few lamps have been sold through the Living With Crafts exhibits at the Annual Craftsmen's Fair. They are also offered in galleries at Gibson's at the Greenbrier Hotel in White Sulphur Springs, WV and at The Broadmoor in Colorado Springs, CO. They are sold in the Jade West shops in Hawaii, Anchorage, and British Columbia near where the jade is mined. Some overseas collectors have taken lamps to New Zealand, Australia, Switzerland and China.
An example of one of Tom's lamps can be seen on display in our own League of NH Craftsmen's Permanent Collection in Concord.

In this paper, we describe a numerical method of simulating two-dimensional images in a compact soft X-ray microscope using partially coherent illumination considerations. The work was motivated by recent test object images obtained by the latest generation inhouse compact soft X-ray microscope, which showed diffraction-like artifacts not observed previously. The numerical model approximates the condenser zone plate as a secondary incoherent source represented by individually coherent but mutually incoherent source points, each giving rise to a separate image. A final image is obtained by adding up all the individual source point contributions. The results are compared with the microscope images and show qualitative agreement, indicating that the observed effects are caused by partially coherent illumination.
This thesis describes the development of a sub-60-nm full-period resolution compact soft x-ray microscope operating in the water-window region (2.3-4.4 nm). Soft x-ray water-window microscopy is a powerful technique for high-resolution imaging of organic materials exploiting the natural contrast mechanism between carbon and oxygen, cf. Sect. 4.1. The thesis discusses the components of, as well as the integration of the microscope, including liquid-jet laser-plasma x-ray sources, optics, simulations, and image-processing tools.
Liquid-jet-target laser-plasma sources for generation of soft x-rays and extreme-ultraviolet radiation are compact sources with high brightness. The work focused on improved target stability, decreased debris, and accurate source characterization. For x ray microscopy applications a liquid-jet target delivery system allowing cryogenic liquids was developed. Source characterization was performed for two different liquid-jet targets: Methanol and liquid nitrogen. For extreme-ultraviolet lithography applications, the potential use of a liquid-tin-jet laser-plasma source was explored including conversion efficiency and debris measurements.
High quality optics are essential in the development of compact x-ray microscopes. For soft x-ray wavelengths, zone plates and multilayer mirrors are used to focus or redirect radiation. This thesis describes the development and characterization of a condenser zone plate suitable for use in a compact soft x-ray microscope operating at λ = 2.478 nm. It also investigates the possibility to perform differential interference contrast microscopy in the water window using a single diffractive optical element. An arrangement for rapid and accurate determination of absolute and local diffraction efficiency of soft x-ray zone plates using a compact laser-plasma source has been developed. The instrument is used to characterize the zone plates fabricated at the Biomedical & X-Ray Physics division at KTH. Through a collaboration with the Fraunhofer-Institut in Jena, Germany, a large diameter spherical Cr/Sc multilayer mirror, suitable as condenser in the compact x-ray microscope, was developed and characterized. The mirror is designed for λ = 3.374 nm and shows a high, and uniform reflectivity of 3%. This increases the photon flux by an order of magnitude compared to the W/B4C mirrors previously used.
The thesis describes the development of a compact soft x-ray microscope with sub-60-nm full-period resolution. It can operate at two different wavelengths in the water window using the soft x-ray laser-plasma sources combined with the condenser optics described above. Imaging is performed by zone plate objectives. The microscope is capable of imaging hydrated biological samples with thicknesses up to ~10 μm. Improvements made to the mechanical design has turned it into a user friendly instrument allowing daily operation. A numerical method was developed to study the effects of partially coherent illumination on 2D imaging. To stimulate experiments on functional imaging in x-ray microscopy an image-analysis algorithm for identifying colloidal-gold particles was developed. Size selective identification and localization of single gold particles down to a diameter of 50 nm was demonstrated.
X-ray microscopy is a well-established technique for nanoscale imaging. Zone plates are used as microscope objectives and provide high resolution, approaching 10 nm, currently limited by fabrication issues. This Thesis presents zone plate optics that achieve either high resolution or phase contrast in x-ray microscopy. The high-resolution optics use high orders of the zone plate, which alleviates the demands on fabrication, and the phase-contrast optics are single-element diffractive optical elements that produce contrast by Zernike or differential-interference contrast methods. The advantage of phase contrast in x-ray microscopy is shorter exposure times, and is crucial in the hard x-ray regime. Microscopy in the absorption‑contrast region of the water-window (2.34 - 4.37 nm) also benefits from these optics. The development of the optics for a laboratory soft x-ray microscope spans from theoretical and numerical analysis of coherence and stray light to experimental implementation and testing. The laboratory microscope uses laser-produced plasma-sources in the water-window and is unique in its design and performance. It will be shown that the laboratory microscope in its current form is a user-oriented and stable instrument, and has been used in a number of applications. The implementation of a cryogenic sample stage for tomographic imaging of biological samples in their natural environment has enabled applications in biology, and 3D x-ray microscopy of cells was performed for the first time with a laboratory instrument.

Big Data in Smart-Cities: Current Research and Challenges
Smart-cities are an emerging paradigm containing heterogeneous network infrastructure, ubiquitous sensing devices, big-data processing and intelligent control systems. Their primary aim is to improve the quality of life of the citizens by providing intelligent services in a wide variety of aspects like transportation, healthcare, entertainment, environment, and energy. In order to provide such services, the role of big-data and its analysis is extremely important as it enables to obtain valuable insights into the large data generated by the smart-cities. In this article, we investigate the state-of-art research efforts directed towards big-data analytics in a smart-city context. Specifically, first we present a big-data centric taxonomy for the smart-cities to bring forth a generic overview of the importance of big-data paradigm in a smart-city environment. This is followed by the presentation of a top-level snapshot of the commonly used big-data analytical platforms. Due to the heterogeneity of data being collected by the smart-cities, often with conflicting processing requirements, suitable analytical techniques depending upon the data type are also suggested. In addition to this, a generic four-tier big-data framework comprising of the sensing hub, storage hub, processing hub and application hub is also proposed that can be applied in any smart-city context. This is complemented by providing the common big-data applications in a smart-city and presentation of ten selected case studies of smart-cities across the globe. Finally, the open challenges are highlighted in order to give future research directions.

Artist Biography"Inspired by nature and captivated by human nature, I paint to capture the true essence of anything that stirs the soul while drawing attention to the incredible beauty that surrounds us and is within us.
I believe that art is a form of therapy and can provide insight if not solutions to many of life's problems. It will be this belief that will fuel my ideas and exploration in my journey as an artist.
Currently I am painting in encaustic, or hot wax painting. This centuries old art form provides unique textural qualities and a challenging complexity. I have only scratched the surface, so to speak, of this incredible medium.
I am an honours graduate of Ontario College of Art and Design. I have been a designer, illustrator, sculptor and painter."

Gift giving is one of the cornerstones of our holiday traditions – we love choosing that perfect item and surprising our loved ones. In our case, more often than not our "perfect item" is "the perfect cut of meat." Who doesn't enjoy gourmet grass fed beef showing up on their doorstep? If you're curious about what to send to your family, we have some deliciously delectable options for you:
For the On the Go College Student
Starting college is tough enough, why do it hungry? Juggling their course work, extra curricular activities, sports, and managing their own time – the last thing on your student's mind is finding an organic meal. Make it easy on them and send a care package with Beetnik's prepared organic frozen entrees. Packed with organic vegetables, nutrients and either grass fed beef or pasture raised chicken, these meals can be easily heated in a microwave or conventional oven for a quick meal before class!
For the Tailgater
You know who we're talking about. This is the person who knows their beef and can identify a cooked burger with merely a whiff of the grill. They are out there every Sunday (and occasionally on Monday, Thursday and Saturday!) and love nothing more than grilling up a delicious meal for their friends and family. Show them the true meaning of team sports and pass them one of our famous grass fed beef patties. Succulent, all natural, pasture raised, 80/20, raw lean beef patties with health promoting vitamins and minerals, such as Vitamin E and beta-carotene; you can't go wrong!
If you're looking for something more substantial – try the Delicious Duo. Made up of our grass fed tenderloin and ribeye – these steaks will practically sing on the grill. Our ribeye's are 10 oz each, so they can easily feed 2-3 people, depending on what kind of sides the tailgate fan is serving.
For the the Foodie
The last time you went to dinner with the Foodie they ordered something so uniquely plated that most wouldn't be able to identify their meal as edible. They know their foods trends and which restaurant is doing which signature dish and have the tweets to prove it. While all this knowledge is impressive, it's sometimes best to remind them of the basics: The Best of Beetnik. It's made up of our signature proteins: wild caught fish, pasture raised chicken and of course, grass fed beef.
For the Newly Gluten Free
Adopting a new nutritional regiment can be a daunting task, so make it easy for your newly gluten free pal and find them their favorite foods, sans gluten. We carry a wide assortment of gluten free products – many of them handmade! Gluten free cheesecakes and chili tarts will definitely remind them that they don't need to give up taste to heal their gut. Make the process simple and one of our Organic Prepared Meal Variety Packs– we recommend the pasta! The Italian sampler includes our organic grass fed beef Bolognese and our chicken Cacciatore, all created with our signature gluten free pasta blend. This pack will surely make your gluten free friend smile.
For the Newlyweds
Ah, love! We love love. We also love steak, so we highly suggest sending your newlywed friends a delicious combo pack from the Beetnik market. Our Entertainer Combo comes with 4 NY strips 4 ribeyes and 2 delicious whole chickens – perfect for couples want to entertain their friends and family during their debut year as a newly married couple. However, it's up to them to decide who does the dishes.
For the Home Chef (or real life Chef!)
Impress the chef in your life and show them how well you know that good food comes from quality ingredients. They'll instantly be able to tell the difference between conventionally raised chickens and our free range organic chickens. The Free Range Poultry Sampler comes with 4 organic chicken breasts, 1 whole chicken, 2 organic half chickens and 2 organic chicken quarters. They'll be like a kid in a candy shop, totally overjoyed by such a selection.
For the Health Conscious Foodie
Now that you've seen the organic light, you probably want to share it with your loved ones who share the same beliefs about food. Maybe they're trying to eat healthy in the new year, or maybe they're trying to omit red meat from their daily diet. For whatever reasons, they'll be sure to enjoy our Poultry Surf N Turf. It's a light, different take on tradition surf n turf. It includes sablefish and salmon, two very healthy fish products loaded with Omega 3s and protein – and our signature poultry cuts: breasts and a whole chicken.
For the Acquaintance or The Person Who Has Everything
We can admit it, sometimes people totally stump us. Some folks are easy to shop for, while others can be a complete mystery. You may have corporate clients to find gifts for and may not know in which direction to head (hint: go towards the grass fed beef). They definitely won't re-gift a Beetnik E-Gift Card! Choose the amount and we'll take care of the rest.

Many horse owner's include lucerne either in the form of hay or chaff in their horse's everyday diets. The reason they feed it is usually because the horse likes it and it is what they have been taught is a good feedstuff for horses. It provides good roughage and bulk for their horse's and also smells nice and sweet. That is because it is sweet! It is loaded with sugars and great to help provide your horse with extra warmth and energy. Lucerne is also high in protein and calcium. It is useful to feed it at a competition where your horse is using a lot of energy and needs the extra usable fuel. Examples of this would be at endurance rides, polocrosse or any other high energy burning horse sport. It is also useful to help growing youngsters that need to put extra fuel into correct growth. Does this make lucerne a suitable every day feed?
Lucerne is primarily used to help fatten cattle for slaughter. Cattle eat around 1/3 of what horses do because they regurgitate and then redigest their food making it easy for their systems to process the high protein content. Horses on the other hand have only one stomach and only chew their food once and then their system is responsible for effectively processing the food. If there is extra protein and calcium in the diet without being balanced out by the correct phosphorus ratio it can cause all sorts of issues in the horse. The horse can develop the thumps, muscle cramps, tying up and kidney disease and also have many problems associated with their endocrine system not working correctly.
What is the short answer when it comes to how much lucerne to feed your horse?
Firstly, remember that it is used for cattle who are not meant to live or be performing for up to and beyond 20 years of age. Secondly, if your horse has seemingly behavioral issues, reduce or remove the lucerne from their diets in order to help their system level out and then add it in as necessary dependent on how much your horse is worked, what their discipline, what their growth needs are etc.

The morning was a mix of cloud and sunshine.
We left camp about 9.45am, to travel the Western Explorer route, south to Corinna.
The first part of the way took us over the same roads we'd travelled yesterday, through Irishtown and on down to the Kanunnah Bridge over the Arthur River. From here, we kept heading south west, to a T intersection, not long after we'd crossed the Frankland River, where we turned south east. The track ahead went through to Couta Rocks, on the coast.
After some 15kms on the Western Explorer route, we took a somewhat rough track to our left, for a short way, into the former mining settlement of Balfour. Tin and copper were mined here, for a few years, in the early 1900's. In 1911, a tramway was built from here across to Temma, on the coast, to take the ore to ships. But Temma was not really a safe place for ships, and the mine was abandoned shortly after anyway, so Temma never became a port. The very rough 4WD Balfour Track goes between Balfour and the coast.
We had a little explore and found some abandoned bits of machinery and a lot of tracks, which we did not have time to explore.
Stopped at the Donaldson River crossing to eat lunch. This was in a rather rare forested section. Much of the way had been over button grass plains. These grow where the soil is almost non existent, having been scoured and eroded away in the ice age times. Where the soils are deeper and richer, there are forests.
Stopped several kms further on, parked Truck and walked the Longback Track to the top of a ridge, which gave us great sweeping views all round. I went close to walking on a small snake and back stepped very quickly, while it wriggled away. Today's snake!
Continued on to Corinna, reaching there at 3.15pm. The place consisted of a few rustic cottages, and the barge, by the very wide Pieman River. Not far from Corinna we stopped so that I could take a photo of a particularly large myrtle tree.
This trip down to Corinna was superb, through the mix of button grass plains, and myrtle dominated forests. There were some big ranges in the distance. The road was fine – where it was steep, or particularly bendy, it had been sealed.
On a couple of our stops we saw ground parrots – a bird new to us.
It had been such a varied and enjoyable drive that we decided to go back the same way, rather than the planned route on the bitumen via Savage River and Waratah.
Just out of Corinna, found we had a tyre going down. It seemed to be the tube again, like the last one. We changed it more quickly this time. Hoped we didn't get another flat on this remote road – still hadn't done the smart thing and brought the second spare. It is a hassle to get it up on the roof rack. But we didn't let any worry spoil the journey.
We actually saw several lots of traffic, all going the other way – more than we would have expected, given the lateness of the day.
We got back to Stanley at 7pm, having driven 326kms.
It was so late that we bought fish and chips for tea.
While walking in the forest on one of our stops, I'd found some yellow and red myrtle leaves on the ground, near a big tree. I thought then that we might be lucky and get to see the spectacular leaf colour change before we leave here in mid-April.
It was a great day!

Christmas was always a big deal for my family. Tree decorating, watching specials together, wrapping presents, driving around town to look at the Christmas lights… so many things we always did together. For me, Christmas is a time of happiness, warmth, love and excitement. My Honey didn't get the same experience growing up. He remembers fights over decorating, lots of stress… with some good things thrown in, thankfully. But still. Christmas is supposed to be a time of joy and love.
This Christmas season has been very out of the ordinary, at least for me. Illness and finances have kept us from doing a lot of the things we wanted to do to celebrate Christmas. The tree we bought has very sparse decorations, but it hasn't mattered. Seeing the cheery green, well-lit tree has been a great source of joy for us. The two year old and I colored Christmas cards for a few people, and then enjoyed coloring a picture of a Yule log to hang on the fridge. We haven't done any Christmas baking (much to my chagrin). There aren't any presents under the tree. But those things really don't matter, not once you stop and really think about them. More
Merry Christmas!

The holiday season is in full swing now. I love Christmas time – singing the songs, decorating everything, making special foods, time spent with family and friends. This will be my 2nd Christmas as a non-Christian. I still find Christmas to be a wondrous time, and yes, I still call it Christmas. The Nativity Story is still very beautiful to me. It's also not unique to Christianity (son of a god is born, will save the world by sacrificing himself); it's a very common theme running through a lot of other mythologies. It's a story that's been told for thousands of years, all over the world, and it's still captivating people today. The Christian additions of singing angels, a stable filled with animals and hay, and wise men journeying from afar all make the story even more special to people, I think. It's a cozy, heart warming story that makes people smile and open their hearts with love and joy.
I view Christianity's stories as mythology, the same as the rest of the world's mythologies. They are all works of humanity that we can learn from. So I will teach my children about Jesus and why Christmas has the name it does, right along with the other great stories of the world.
May you have a merry Christmas and happy holidays, friend!

There is something sacred about waking up in the morning beside the person you love.
True or Selfish Love?

in Health, Hot Issues, Religion Tags: abuse, happiness, leech, love, pain, reality, relationships, selfish
Coming from a very Christian background, I learned to place the needs and wants of others before my own… in the name of love. The concept itself is good, or at the least has good intentions, but it can also lead to an unhealthy way of living. Were all of humanity full of real love and compassion, there would be no problem and we'd all be busy taking care of each other. In reality, there are those who are content to live forever as leeches on the love of others. Take a leech and put it with a human who is willing to give and give and give love, and you will have a fat and lazy leech with an anemic human. Repeatedly I have been that human. It is a very nasty place to be, but if you've had it drilled into your head to put the needs of others before your own, you get stuck thinking, "He needs me! I can't leave him or he'll _________ (be depressed, commit suicide, be lonely, become lost, etc.). I must stop thinking about myself and just keep going in this relationship." Whether it be friendship or romance, such a situation is dangerous and unhealthy.
When a relationship has become unhealthy, what can you do? More

Effect of Race on Length of Stay
1New York University School of Medicine, New York, NY

3New York University School of Medicine, New York, NY
Meeting: Hospital Medicine 2008, April 3-5, San Diego, Calif.
Abstract number: 38
Ethnicity has been noted to have many effects on the delivery of health care. Race has been demonstrated as a factor in the appropriate treatment of many illnesses, a marker for access to care, and an important component of disease outcomes. Although many individual diagnoses have been examined for the effect of race, no studies to date have looked at race as an independent factor in overall length of stay (LOS) in hospitalized children. Our goal was to examine the effect of race on LOS for common medical and surgical DRGs in pediatrics.
We used the Kids Inpatient Database (KID) of 2003. Eight of the highest volume DRGs (5 medical, 3 surgical) for children < 18 years old were examined for the effect of race on LOS. Newborn, psychiatric, and oncologic DRGs were not considered. The 8 DRGs were: viral meningitis (vm), cellulitis, simple pneumonia, kidney and UTI, bronchitis and asthma, craniotomy, appendectomy, and lower extremity and humerus. Univariate and multivariate analyses were done to see if race significantly affected LOS. SUDAAN software was used to accommodate the complex sample design of the KID.
For all except vm, univariate analysis showed that race — Black or Hispanic versus white — was a significant factor of LOS, increasing by up to .5 days for medical conditions and 1.4 days for surgical DRGs, almost 20% in both cases. Multivariate analysis confirmed race as an independent variable for 7 of the DRGs (again not vm), with a difference of more than 1 day for craniotomy and up to 26% longer when significant.
Across the most common diagnoses for which children are discharged from the hospital, race is a significant determinant of LOS. Therefore, racial mix needs to be accounted for in comparing LOS data. These results are consistent with previous studies that identified race as affecting children's health. The reasons for this need to be uncovered, and this issue needs to be examined from the level of an individual hospital up through national policy.

Financial Tips and Ideas from WireLend:
Save Electricity
Imagine a world without electricity. For sure many will not â??surviveâ?? due to their dependence on different technologies. The high demand of electricity can also result in having a high electric bill. Saving electricity also imposes a challenge to consumers when it comes to this matter but even with that in mind there are simple ways to face such challenges such as unplugging electronic devices when not used and using solar power. You will save money when electricity is saved.? ? ? ? ?
Dollar Store It
It may not be the most glamorous, but the dollar store is named that way for a reason. You might not be able to get everything you need there, but it's a good place for basic supplies like toiletries, cleaning products, paper products, and pet food. You'd be surprised by the things they sell. You can get halfway decent wine glasses for only a few dollars, holiday decorations, and more. Don't be too proud to take advantage of a great deal.

By Erica Wright
The Birmingham Times
Mark Pettway never thought about making history. He wanted to make a difference. In 2018, the sheriff-elect was able to do both.
Last month, Pettway, 54, was elected the first black Jefferson County Sheriff—and no one is more aware of that history than Pettway.
"Jefferson County started as a county [200 years ago], in 1819, and the first sheriff's name was Levi. My middle name is Levi, so [he and I] have something in common," Pettway said. "After 200 years, that name comes back into the [Jefferson County Sheriff's Office] as the first black sheriff. … I thank my grandfather for having a good name—a good name is worth more than riches. He served the community and served the city as a leader, and now I'll do the same."
Pettway, who will be sworn in on Jan. 11, 2019, spent months knocking on doors, shaking hands, making phone calls, and keeping his feet on the ground in the race against incumbent Sheriff Mike Hale, who was first elected in 1998 and served five terms. Pettway received 51.39 percent of the vote, or 128,569 votes; Hale received 48.55 percent of the vote, or 121,469 votes.
"[Voters] felt comfortable," Pettway said. "They felt like I was competent, and they said, 'Hey, I could really vote for this guy.' They weren't afraid of me. I was the type of person [who] could sit down and talk to them and have a good conversation. They liked my ideas and my platform, and they said it's time for some reform. They wanted somebody who is going to be proactive, not reactive. … We're going to change the game."
Stepping Up
Pettway, a sergeant in the Property Crimes Unit, had been in the Jefferson County Sheriff Office for 19 years. He never thought about becoming sheriff until after the protests in Ferguson, Mo., following the 2014 officer-involved killing of Mike Brown.
"I had a cousin who was out there as part of the protest group," Pettway said. "I watched her on TV and said, 'Wow, she's out there really doing something and getting the community together.' I thought, 'If she can do that, then I can do something even greater than what I'm doing now.' That kind of inspired me to step up into a higher role. [Also], there were things going on in the [Sheriff's Office] that I wanted to see changed."
One of Pettway's concerns: the hiring process.
"I didn't like the way we were hiring and promoting blacks. It was not fair," he said. "I said, 'I can either talk about it or do something about it, and if I get in the sheriff's position, I can do something.'"
In 2017, U.S. District Court Judge Lynwood Smith released the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office from the federal consent decree, which had been in place since 1982 as part of a lawsuit involving discrimination against hiring blacks and women.
As sheriff, Pettway said he plans to fulfill his campaign promises, including focusing on school safety, community policing, criminal justice reform, and law enforcement training.
When it comes to schools, in particular, he wants to find a way to give back.
"I try to live a life I think somebody else could pattern their life after, and I'm in a position … to speak and reach out to [people] and try to turn them around and point them in the right direction," he said. "I think I've lived the type of life [that allows me to] share with others and say, 'Hey, this is the way you need to live.'
"I tell the youth that we need to love one another. Love is the answer. We need to put down the guns, stop the violence, find ways to deal with conflict, set goals, and map out a plan for the future. Strive to be the best."
Community Leader
Pettway plans to serve as a leader not just as sheriff in Alabama's most populous county but in the community.
"First, I'm a leader at home," he said. "Then, I'm a leader at my church, [Word of Faith Global Ministries], where I'm on the evangelistic team. I'm also part of the Peacemakers, [a movement that calls the faith community together to respond to violence]; we walk through the neighborhoods for peace. I also speak at elementary and high schools throughout the city and the county."
Pettway was born in Germany but is a lifelong Jefferson County resident, who grew up in the College Hills area. He said he always liked helping people and knew law enforcement was for him. From 1991 to 1993, he served as corrections officer with the city of Birmingham. In 1993, he joined the Fairfield Police Department, where he worked until 1999, when he took a position at the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office.
"I started out working as a deputy in the jail then I went to patrol. From patrol, I [served as] a detective with youth services. From there, I went to crimes against persons and then the IRS Task Force. Then I got promoted to sergeant and worked property crimes, where I [was] until the election," he said.
Career Path
Pettway is the son of the late Ed Pettway, retired U.S. Army sergeant first class officer, and the late Camilla Satisfield Pettway, a Jefferson County Schools teacher. He was educated in both the Birmingham City Schools and Jefferson County Schools systems, starting at Wilkerson Elementary School before moving to Brookside Elementary School. He graduated from Ensley High School and then attended Jefferson State Community College and the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB). In 1991, he graduated from Faulkner University and went on to work at AmSouth Bank and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Alabama.
"I left Blue Cross and moved to Montgomery, where I worked at Colonial Bank Group for a few months."
While living in the state's capital, Pettway had a decision to make: "I was coming [back to Birmingham] just about every weekend, and I said, 'Hey, let me change this.' [Eventually], … I got into law enforcement."
The rest is history.

Hey Everybody, Marcus here. It is an interesting experience to go back
to works one had immensely enjoyed in their blue pill days and experience them for a second
time as a red pill man. For me, one of these works is the Terry Goodkind
fantasy series entitled The Sword Of Truth. This video will be a review of the first book
in that series entitled "Wizard's First Rule." This review will necessarily need to contain
spoilers in order for me to adequately describe what my red pill knowledge exposes to me. As such, I will begin with a general, spoiler
free description of the overarching plot, my conclusion and rating, followed by my analysis. In this way, anyone who wishes to read the
book based on my recommendation, can turn off the video, read the book, and return to
this video later. Wizard's First Rule along with the other
18 books in the series are grim dark fantasy set in an original world thought up by the
author. The books contain magic, various original
fantastical creatures, as well as original takes on fantasy themes. Though a fantasy series, the book does not
contain your Tolkien standard fare of orks, elves, or dwarves. Most of the beings we encounter are fundamentally
human but distinguished by tradition as well as command of magic. The plot is one typified as the hero's journey. We are introduced to the main protagonist
who starts out as a joe everyman at the beginning of the series and watch this character evolve
into a hero. Star Wars did it with Luke, The Odyssey by
Homer did it with Odysseus to a large degree, and countless other works follow this model
as well. The literary device used is commonly referred
to as the hero's journey. Now, there are 19 books in the series but
each contains a self-enclosed plot which has the typical Aristotelian setup of 3 acts. So, from a literary point of view the book
is completely unremarkable boiler plate writing. This book is not literature. The book is around 500 pages and would take
you are 4 days of committed reading to finish. The tone and feel of the book is a mixture
of high fantasy and extremely graphic brutality. One chapter may read like your typical rated
G family friendly Disney movie while the next chapter will be a horrific snuff film that
will surely disturb you. The author does not typically pull any punches
or leave subject matter out that would be considered taboo. Children are commonly murdered, raped, and
gutted in a level of descriptive detail that can really make you pause. However, the shock value is mostly contained
to a banal purpose. The antagonists are depicted as evil and as
such that message is communicated through the brutality I describe. In contrast, the protagonists are depicted
as good and their action are somewhat expected. This is not really one of those grey area
books. At least not, in my opinion, through the explicit
intention of the author. The characters are meant to be mostly black
and white. However, grey is introduced in an interesting
way. It seems to me that both the antagonists and
the protagonists share a common utilitarian moral system. The ends justify the means is a commonly recurring
theme on both sides. This makes for an interesting read if you,
however, subscribe to virtue ethics. Under virtue ethics, all the characters are
pretty screwed up and none at all can be said to be aspiring to be good. The plot is briefly as follows. The continent on which the plot takes place
is divided into 3 regions. Each of the regions are separated from one
another by a Trump like wall. However, this is not a physical wall but a
magical wall. The wall is one of the underworld; the land
of the dead. This means that if you try to walk through
the wall, you will merely walk into the underworld to never be able to return. In essence you kill yourself. The walls were put in place by a wizard for
ideological reasons. The reasons related to the role of magic in
the life of man. Some believed magic ought to be stamped out,
while others believed it was culturally enriching etc. Anyways, one of the walls has been brought
down and an army from the eastern most territory has begun a campaign to conquer the middle
land, conveniently named the Midlands. This in turn causes an emissary named Kahlan,
a woman from the Midlands with a certain magical power, to travel to the west most territory
called Westland to search for the wizard who had originally put up the walls. The main protagonist is a Westlander called
Richard Cypher, a woods guide who has never experienced magic due to Westland's ideological
purity of considering magic as bad. So, the hero's journey is centered around
Richard and Kahlan. A romance inevitably ensues as they work towards
defeating the invading armies of the east most territory called D'Hara. I don't know why the author would give names
to the territories like Westland, Midland, and D'Hara as opposed to Westland, Midland,
and Eastland other than to give a certain middle eastern feel to the bad guys. In fact, the symbolism between D'Hara and
the Arab world is pretty striking. The book was written in 1994 but it has some
amusing coincidental contemporary politics mixed in. So like I mentioned, the book is fairly boiler
plate in many ways. However, I find the execution to be brilliant. As my review carries on, we will come to discover
some of the brilliance in the setup of this world and its creatures as it pertains to
the male female dynamic. I very much would recommend this book. The first 6 books are fantastic with the 6th
being the best. Everything after that begins to turn into
more of a cash grab than anything else as the author clearly begins to run out of ideas. The 6th book is particularly interesting as
it is mostly a commentary on socialism. The main villain from book 3 onwards is for
the most part trying to bring about the socialist utopia we have heard so much about. Wizard's First Rule's brilliance rest
in the setup between Richard and Kahlan. Socrates said that in virtually all cases,
poets of great works are just as ignorant of the meaning of their works as the common
man. He argues that they are inspired by a muse
who speaks through them, making the poet a tool of the gods as oppose to the author of
the work. I believe something like this may be happening
in Wizard's First Rule. It is either the case that Goodkind happened
to coincidentally author a story meant to capitalize on red pill truth, or he is the
most red pill author ever. This book, if orchestrated intentionally would
demand the author to understand male female relations to the level of the most insightful
MGTOW. Now, this is not a red pill book or for that
matter speaks a red pill message. Not at all. This is a book authored by a seemingly hard
core red pillar to capitalize on a blue pill audience by giving the blue puller exactly
what he wants. As such, either the author is hardcore red
pill or he was inspired by a muse and is himself grossly ignorant of why what he did works. This book is designed to appeal to both men
and women. In one sense it can be seen as a romance novel
masquerading as a fantasy adventure. In another sense it can be argued it is little
more than a fantasy adventure with a romance sub plot. My conclusion is that it is both. It is a romance novel to women and a fantasy
adventure to men. The themes, characters, and world setup are
so brilliantly woven together around the male female dynamic that it really would take a
MGTOW to see the ploy. Okay. This is the part where the spoilers begin. I will contain the spoilers to the first book
even though I have read all 19 and know what happens later. So, if what I have said so far appeals to
you and grim Dark fantasy is of interest then I recommend the book. Now on to the analysis. First, we need to understand the characters. Richard Cypher is the main protagonist. The book opens with a scene in the woods where
Richard is described according to his in depth knowledge of the woods, plants, and path finding. He is immediately painted as someone of worth,
which will appeal to the female reader. However, this is slightly tempered for the
male mind by justifying his knowledge based on a life of having lived in the woods and
being tutored by a wise old man named Zed. This is the first theme we need to keep in
mind. The theme is the mixture of some inherent
worth of the character being flaunted while giving lip service in little space as to its
reasonable justification. What I mean by this theme is as follows. Much more space on the page is devoted to
describing Richard's worth and status than is given to describing the process in which
he acquired it. The female mind likes to hear about the status
irrespective of how it came about while the male mind looks for justification. By allotting more page space to the description
of worth as oppose to the process of acquiring it, the female mind is satiated better while
the male mind still gets its fix of justification in a couple brief sentences later on. Immediately following this description of
Richard, Richard sees a woman in the far distance traveling in the woods. The woman is wearing a white dress and is
followed by 4 men. This trigger's Richards white knighting
instinct. Following a short inner monologue evaluating
whether or not those men are out to hurt the woman, Richard decides to run to intercept
her and then guide her down some side forest path in anticipation of throwing off the potential
trackers. Richard is unarmed. A point is made to describe him having forgotten
his knife at home. The inner monologue that took place reveals
the second theme; morally rationalized white knighting. Richard does not conduct a prudent evaluation
of the situation. He merely rationalizes his white knighting
instinct by assigning moral obligation upon himself to follow it. This theme is later expanded into a twofold
inner morality for Richard. Richard will eventually come to have one method
of justifying his actions as it pertains to everything except Kahlan and a second set
of justifications as it pertains to his actions in relation to Kahlan. Richard intercepts Kahlan and leads her down
a trail which leads towards a town. It appears the two have gotten away but are
dramatically intercepted and surrounded by the 4 men. These men are all described as bigger than
Richard and armed to the teeth. The 4 men provide Richard the option to just
walk away as their business was with Kahlan. Now, Richard is unarmed and he is outnumbered. He tried his plan to lead Kahlan down a different
path to outrun the men, and he failed. His inner monologue indicated his awareness
of certain death. His moral duty which he, even in his own mind,
ought to have been fulfilled at this point, however, forces him into what he perceived
as certain death. So, he stays to fight. A choice so irrational it defies belief. It is important to know that Richard was not
demonstrating courage in choosing to fight. Richard was demonstrating reckless abandon
which is itself a vice and moral failing in Aristotelian virtue ethics. However, this seeming self-sacrifice on his
part is what would appeal to the female mind while the blue pill male reader, safely sitting
in his easy chair, would cheer Richard on and imagine himself also capable of making
such a sacrifice to appeal to his own white knight instinct. Clearly Richard and Kahlan win the fight with
a mixture of her magic and luck. The flirting and subtle indicators of interest
start to show up immediately after the fight. You see, what I have described so far are
the first 2 chapters or so. This could easily be either the beginning
of a romance novel or an adventure story. Richard, in a brief 20 pages is already painted
as possessing skills, the white knight instinct, the will to sacrifice himself for a woman
who is a complete stranger, and some level of fighting prowess even when completely outclassed. Kahlan, on the other hand has already been
describe to possess very feminine traits. Firstly, she has very long hair, whose relevance
become important later. She is wearing a very elegant white dress
while walking through the woods which is explicitly described as having not become dirty from
either the trek through the woods or even the fight. Kahlan has green eyes, another rare and exotic
trait in general. She is described as quite young, early 20s,
and beautiful. Finally, she is clearly painted as someone
of worth if 4 men were sent to kill her and again her worth is insinuated by Richards
choice to enter a fight on her behalf even though he sees fighting as certain death. This is doubly compounded when you consider
that Richard knows nothing of Kahlan at this stage other than she is a woman and therefore
worth helping. Now, how did the two win the fight? Kahlan is what is referred to in the story
as a confessor. A confessor is a woman with a specific function
and magical power. Only women can be confessors. When a confessor touches a person, and releases
her power, the person she touches immediately falls madly in love with the confessor. This power is on a 1 to 2 hour cool down. The person touched with this power, due to
their intense love, will completely subjugate their will to the confessor even into death. The person touched will never do anything
to disappoint the confessor that touched them. Kahlan, however, later in the story is described
as possessing the title of Mother Confessor. That title is similar to being like the confessor
pope. The role of the confessor is usually to touch
people who have been condemned to death by trial to see if the person actually committed
the crime. So, basically, if the verdict turned out to
be unjust, the person would be spared but would exist in this state of obsessive love
for the confessor. So, the 4 men that were sent to kill Kahlan
are referred to in the story as a quad. They are trained to kill confessors. It is anticipated that the confessor will
touch one man in the quad which leaves the other 3 men to kill both the touched man and
the confessor. Kahlan touched one of the men in the fight,
Richard kicked one off a cliff and the touched man killed one and then threw himself at the
second where both men fell off the cliff. Now, this is where this whole confessor thing
really thickens the plot. We learn later in the book that when a confessor
has sex, she cannot control her power and therefore the man she has sex with falls madly
in love with her. So, confessors cannot just go riding the cock
carousel based on the laws of the land. They only ever choose 1 mate because it is
also the law that the confessor line must continue. She gets to pick whoever she wants as a mate
and people fear being chosen. Kahlan has not yet chosen a mate. This means she is a virgin. Finally, the status of a woman is externally
displayed by the length of her hair and confessors are the highest authority in the Midlands
and therefore above even kings and queens. This status is visually displayed by the length
of her hair. The longer the hair a woman has, the higher
her station. Kahlan has the longest hair in the Midlands. Guys like long hair on women. Do you now see what I meant about the interweaving
of the structure of the world with the male female dynamic? Let us look at Kahlan again. She was born a confessor, therefore she has
immense worth by virtue of what she is and not what she has accomplished. This appeals to the woman reader. She has long hair, and is a virgin. This appeals to the male reader. However, she is obligated by custom and law
to be both which grants an excuse for having these traits. This means that a woman reader need not feel
bad about herself for not possessing those traits that Kahlan has because they were imposed
on her while simultaneously rewarding the male desire for those traits by putting them
into Kahlan. A similar story is true of Kahlan only being
able to have one mate. This panders to the insecurities of the beta
male in assurance that Kahlan won't cheat while the one mate rule can be understood
as a necessary restriction out of Kahlan's control by the female reader. Finally, Kahlan's power allows her to force
anyone to fall madly in love with her and that person will do anything whatsoever for
her. Now, confessors, when they touch a man, basically
turn him into the archetypical pussy begging white knight. He will literally do anything and everything
for her while making sure he never does anything to displease her. This means that a touched man will always
be asking for permission, be greatly insecure that his actions are displeasing to his mistress
and so on. Confessors do not like the men they touch. They do not like these men because it is rationalized
as depriving these men of loving the confessor of their own volition. However, we can clearly see this is plausible
deniability for the stark truth that women hate pussy begger and prefer the bad boys. A touch man would not longer have the ability
to say no to the confessor and so could never be sexually exciting to a woman. All of this also reinforces the theme of the
woman playing hard to get. Though Kahlan and Richard fall in love with
each other the old fashion way, Kahlan's powers setup a sort of artificial chase that
Richard must go through to get Kahlan. This is brilliant writing as it allows the
author to have Kahlan put Richard through a never-ending stream of shit tests all masquerading
as Kahlan's desire not to hurt Richard with her power. The shit tests are unrelenting and are masterfully
woven into forwarding the plot. One shit test in particular stands out. At one-point Richard and Kahlan need to figure
out where to find a magical box. They conclude that their best bet is to approach
this savage tribe referred to as the mud people and request that this tribe call for a gathering
in which they can ask the spirits of the underworld to tell them where the box is. Goodkind orchestrates the plot in such a manner
as the mud people demand that both Kahlan and Richard must first become mud people before
the request is granted. After jumping through various hoops, the mud
people decide to give Richard and Kahlan mud people citizenship. However, part of the ceremony of becoming
a mud person demands that Richard choose a wife. Kahlan in turn conceals this requirement from
Richard and Richard is ambushed in the ceremony by a bunch of women all vying to be selected
by him as his wife. Naturally Kahlan hides behind the justification
that this is for the greater good and that Richard's feelings for her are not as important
as the quest at hand. Now, this would be all well and good if Kahlan
was not a pouting little bitch about the whole thing. Clearly the reader is meant to see Kahlan's
resentment for Richard, not the mud people, in relation to potentially having sex with
another woman. Richard orchestrates a clever trick in which
he asserts that his semen may turn out to be poison to a woman from the Midlands for
reasons which are not important and as a consequence the mud people remove this requirement from
the ceremony. Richard passed his shit test, Kahlan is all
happy, and the plot carries on. There are many other similar shit tests woven
into the plot. The female reader will clearly be able to
relate to these tests while feeling justified that Kahlan simply had no choice in issuing
them due to her being a confessor. In essence, Kahlan's love for Richard necessitated
the shit tests for his own protection. Now, let me talk about Richard. Richard starts off as a woods guide in the
story. This is a humble position clearly beneath
the station of a mate a mother confessor would ever choose. However, Richard's station and status rise
exponentially as the story progresses. Now, the rise of Richard's status is paralleled
by Kahlan's love for him. When he was a woods guide, he was just a nice
guy who Kahlan did not have any real interest in him. This can be plausibly explained also by the
fact that Kahlan had only met Richard and did not have time to fall in love with him. However, Richard is named Seeker of Truth
by Zed, the old man who served as Richard's mentor throughout his life. Zed turns out to be that great wizard who
Kahlan travelled to Westland to find. Now, here is the interesting thing about the
title of Seeker of Truth. Earlier I mentioned that Kahlan, as the mother
confessor, held the highest title in the Midlands. Well, there is only one station higher than
mother confessor. That station is Seeker of Truth. Hypergamy is satisfied in our little Richard
and Kahlan romance. When Richard is named Seeker, the romance
really starts to speed up. Yet, this is not the end of Richard's assent. In the middle of the book we come to learn
that the great wizard Kahlan was sent to find, Zed, is really Richard's grandfather. This in turn gives Richard even more importance. At the end of the book we find out that Richard's
father is actually the main antagonist of the story; Darken Rahl, lord of D'Hara. This in turn makes Richard royalty. In fact, after Richard kills Darken Rahl,
Richard becomes the new Lord Rahl of D'Hara. With every elevation of Richard's status
in the story, so too does Kahlan's love for Richard rise. The plausible deniability rests in the flow
of time. Of course, Kahlan will only fall more in love
with Richard as time goes on. At least that is what we are led to accept
as the rationalization as oppose to the coincidental assent of Richard's status. This set of revelations about Richard allow
the female reader to live out her hypergamous instinct within a single man; namely, Richard. Kahlan nor the female reader ever need to
trade Richard up for a better deal because Richard becomes himself a better deal as the
plot unfolds. Now, when Richard was named the Seeker of
Truth he was given the Sword of Truth as the weapon he is to wield. The Sword of Truth is also a fascinating plot
device. You see, the Sword of Truth, when touched,
fills the holder of it with rage. The rage is meant to help the Seeker be a
more effective warrior. However, Richard is described as having had
an upbringing in which he always controlled his anger. In fact, part of Richard's growth in becoming
a more effective wielder of the Sword of Truth is his journey on getting more in touch with
his feelings. As in, Richard is rewarded by the Sword Of
Truth when he gives into his feelings as oppose to reason or stoic resolve. We are all aware of women's insistence that
men need to stop repressing their emotions and get in touch with their feelings. Well, the author put that female desire of
men into the mechanic of the Sword of Truth. The characters in the book continually reinforce
the idea that everyone needs to follows the instincts of the Seeker. This instinct is little more than a mask for
feelings. Every time Richard goes with his feelings
he seems to make the correct decision. In turn, he is rewarded with better fighting
prowess, and he achieves his goals. Richard, in turn, becomes more like a woman
as the story goes on. However, in reality, the outcomes would be
virtually opposite. For example, fighters who lose themselves
in anger make mistakes. Richard, in turn, is said to become a better
fighter. On the other side of the coin, when reason
is applied in the story, reason clean of emotion, nothing good happens. This adoption of feminine traits by Richard
clearly appeals to the female reader but since it is balanced out by an increase in prowess
in masculine traits, the male reader is satiated as well. Since the author rewards Richard each time
he goes with his feelings, the male reader can be bamboozed into buying into this approach. Now, this review is already pretty long so
let me bring it to a close. Earlier I mentioned that Kahlan, as a confessor,
would lose control over her power if she ever had sex with Richard and therefore destroy
him. This tension to the romance however, was resolved
in an interesting manner. At the end of the book, Kahlan was forced
to confess Richard. Richard in turn behaved as if he was confessed
even though he was not. Since a confessed person cannot lie to the
confessor who confessed him, everything Richard said was considered the truth. In this way, Richard was able to trick Darken
Rahl into doing something which ultimately killed him. Now, the justification that the author gives
to the reader on why Kahlan's power did not work on Richard was as one would expect
it. Apparently, Richard was so in love with Kahlan
that the magic could not create any more love in him for her blah blah blah blah. Basically, Richard's love for Kahlan protected
Richard from love. It is fantasy. It does not need to make sense. We are meant to go with our feelings. And by the time we are done reading 500 pages
of this romance, our feelings want us to believe the justification given by the author because
we are meant to feel Kahlan and Richard deserve to be together. This in turn brings us to the Wizard's First
Rule itself. In this fantasy setting wizards have certain
rules that they follow. The first rule states: —
Wizard's First Rule: people are stupid." Richard and Kahlan frowned even more. "People are stupid; given proper motivation,
almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid , they will believe
a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People's heads are full of knowledge, facts,
and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true. People are stupid; they can only rarely tell
the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so
are all the easier to fool. —- Thanks for listening, Go Team.

Undeterred by its little representation in Himachal Pradesh politics, the Communist Party of India (Marxist) will field candidates on 30 out of the 68 assembly seats where elections will be held next month, a party leader has said.
Undeterred by its little representation in Himachal Pradesh politics, the Communist Party of India (Marxist) will field candidates on 30 out of the 68 assembly seats where elections will be held next month, a party leader has said. The Left party is also tying up with different organisations to form an "anti-BJP and anti-Congress joint front" in the hill state, senior CPI (M) leader Rakesh Singha told PTI. The Election Commission (EC) on October 12 announced elections in Himachal Pradesh. The voting will take place on November 9 and the results will be declared on December 18. The term of the current assembly ends on January 7, 2018. While the main contest is considered between the incumbent Congress and the Opposition BJP, the CPI(M), which has so far had a minuscule representation in the legislative assembly, is keen on putting up a fight. The state unit of the CPI(M) had on October 9 released a list of 14 candidates for the elections. The list included names of the former mayor of Shimla Municipal Corporation Sanjay Chauhan and Singha, a former MLA. The party has also fielded Kuldeep Singh Tanwar from Kusumti Assembly seat, Vivek Kashyap from Rampur, Lokendra Kumar from Ani, Vishwanath Sharma from Nahan, Munish Sharma from Sarkaghat, Bhupinder Singh from Dharampur, Kunal Bharadwaj from Jogindernagar and Ajay Bhatti from Solan. Other candidates chosen by the CPI(M) included Anil Mankotia from Hamirpur Assembly seat, Joginder Kumar from Sujanpur, Sudarshan from Lahaul and Spiti and Bittoo Verma from Palampur.
The Left party, which has a considerable hold in the Himachal Pradesh University and in Shimla, has had very little presence in the state legislative assembly since the birth of the present Himachal Pradesh after inclusion of hilly areas of Punjab in it in 1966. The election of two CPI MLAs — Paras Ram from Jaswan (Kangra) and Bansi Ram from Baijnath (Kangra) — in 1967 was the highest presence of the Left in the state assembly. Later, K K Koushal from Kotkehloor in 1990 and Singha got an entry into the assembly from Shimla in 1993. But since then no Left leader got elected to the Assembly. The rough patch continued till the Shimla Municipal Corporation elections in 2012, when the Left marked its presence with the election of Sanjay Chouhan as the mayor and Tikeder Kanwar as the deputy mayor. But the CPI(M)'s success was short-lived. In the civic body polls this June, first-time councillor Kusum Sadret, backed by the BJP, was elected as the new mayor of Shimla, while Rakesh Kumar, who won as an Independent candidate and later joined the saffron party, was elected the deputy mayor.
Talking to PTI over the phone, an upbeat Singha said he has launched his campaign from Theog assembly seat, which is currently represented by Congress leader and state Irrigation and Public Health Minister Vidya Stokes. Citing media reports which suggested that Virbhadra Singh may fight from Theog seat if Stokes (89) hangs up her politician's boots, Singha said he was keen on contesting against the chief minister. Earlier this year, Virbhadra Singh, who has been active in electoral politics since 1962 and has been elected to Lok Sabha five times and state assembly eight times, sprang a surprise by offering his Assembly seat –- Shimla (Rural) — to his son Vikramaditya. The six-time chief minister had said he would himself like to contest from a seat which the Congress has never won.
