On August 13, 1903, Gilbert Twigg opened fire during a concert in Winfield, Kansas, killing nine and injuring dozens. There was no motive, and no one had ever seen anything like it before, or for decades after. Yet it's the archetype for the kind of tragedy we see so frequently now.

When the band called for intermission, the crowd milling and noising about, a small group of boys saw a man with a gun creep up from a nearby alley. He wore dark pants and a khaki buckskin coat. Despite the stealthy way he slithered up the alley, he moved with the confidence of one at ease with his plan. The boys didn't sense that confidence at first. Nor did they see the gun right away or the look in his blue eyes as he surveyed the crowd, among the largest ever assembled on the corner of Ninth Avenue and Main Street in Winfield, Kansas.
According to various newspaper reports, somewhere between 1,000 and 5,000 people packed the intersection between Ninth Avenue and Main Street that Thursday night — an impressive figure, as Winfield's population barely topped 5,500 at the time. There wasn't much to do in Winfield that summer. You could buy or borrow a book at Craig's Book Store, right on the intersection of Ninth and Main, or buy necessities and frivolities at Winfield & Miller. Milligan's was the place to get new shoes or fix old ones; Swartz Lumber Co. was farther down the block. The parks were good for walking about. The annual county fair in September was still some weeks away. Weekly outdoor music concerts by the 20-piece Winfield Military Band were the best entertainment option in town.

Led by W.H. Caman, the band had good reason to expect a large crowd. They'd entertained similar crowds the prior year with brass renditions of pieces like "The Cavalry Charge" and "The Comic Tattoo," coming off a successful trip to Washington, D.C. On the evening of August 13, Caman and his band started well, without reason to suspect impending catastrophe.
Inside an alley right near Milligan's, the boys finally saw the man's gun. One or two might have known who he was. They might have heard their elders call him "Crazy Twigg," or somehow sensed that something wasn't quite right with him. And now the man was upon them.
He stared down at one boy. "I am going to do some tall shooting, son," the man said. "And you had better run, as I have no desire to hurt you."
The boy did not run. Neither did the others, not at first. The man raised his firearm, a 12-gauge double-barreled shotgun, and said, "I wonder if I can get Caman."
Hearing the bandleader's name, the boys snapped out of their trance. Then, as the man dropped to his left knee, pointed his shotgun, and cried, "I'll kill every one of you," they ran as far as they could. They ran as shots rang out and confusion propagated among the large crowd.
By the time it was over — the whole thing took perhaps 20 minutes — six were killed, including the shooter. He died either by his own hand or that of the town's night watchman George Nichols, a rumor raised hours after the shooting and never fully solved to the town's satisfaction. Three more died over the next few days. Twenty-five suffered injuries of varying seriousness.
The vocabulary we now have to describe Gilbert Twigg's actions on August 13, 1903, differs from the way witnesses and reporters described what happened in the hours, days, and weeks thereafter. Words like "maniac" and "demented" and "terrible shock of the tragedy" were the newspapers' favorites back then, because in 1903 America had little concept of someone plotting, and then carrying out, a mass shooting.
There is evidence Twigg's was not the first American massacre — but it was arguably the first of its particular nature. Michael Stone, a forensic psychiatrist who studies mass shootings, references significant massacres in 1857 and 1900. The first, known as the Mountain Meadows Massacre, was a coordinated series of attacks by members of the Utah Territorial Militia upon a group of emigrants from four Arkansas counties. (One hundred and twenty people died, while 17 children under age 7 were spared.) The latter attack, by Robert Charles in New Orleans, stemmed from the false arrest of black men by racist police officers and launched subsequent protests in the city. And still another took place on April 11, 1902, when Will Reynolds, a 35-year-old African-American, killed seven white men, including the sheriff and five deputies, in Tuscumbia, Alabama in retaliation over an old warrant for his arrest.
Yet the Winfield massacre, seemingly indiscriminate in its choice of victims and all but forgotten outside the town, eerily foreshadows subsequent mass shootings so well-known we can name them by city alone. San Ysidro. Killeen. Columbine. Tucson. Aurora. Sandy Hook. Santa Barbara. Roseburg. And most recently, Hesston, only about 75 miles northwest of Winfield. Scores of innocent people arbitrarily dead because of the murderous actions of men — and they are almost invariably men — whose prior behavior ranged from slightly odd to dangerously worrisome, whose families may have sought help and run up against a system that failed them.

When he died in Winfield, Kansas, Gilbert Twigg had few friends or family ties. When he was born in a small section of Cumberland, Maryland, known as Flintstone, he had more family than he could ever possibly reckon with.
There were so many Twiggs in western Maryland that, by the 1860s, the main family manse and surrounding hundred acres were commonly known as "Twiggtown." (The name lives on as a post office in the area.) Decades earlier the two largest Twigg branches feuded vociferously and violently over the land. Then, according to family lore, a blue-eyed Twigg girl fell in love and married a black-eyed Twigg boy and the rift healed.
Gilbert, born around February 1868, was kin to the blue-eyed side. Details of his early life are sketchy, reliant on conflicting census and genealogy records. Gilbert's parents were probably Moses and Catherine Twigg, the latter deceased by the time the 1870 census records Gilbert living with his older brothers, Isaiah and John Frances, and their grandparents Robert and Eliza. When Robert died in early 1874, all three grandsons, Gilbert included, received $6.04.
All the Twiggs in Twiggtown worked the land and it's plausible Gilbert did, too. But when his Uncle Argel, nearing 40, took his wife, Barbara, and headed west to Winfield in 1887, Gilbert got the notion to follow suit. It's not clear when he first arrived in Kansas, but the Winfield Courier, so good back then at tracking the minute comings and goings of townsfolk and visitors alike, recorded Gilbert visiting his uncle for Thanksgiving in 1889.
Soon after Gilbert Twigg began to work as a miller, sifting heavy flour and other materials. He first apprenticed in Burden, approximately 18 miles away, and then worked several years at the Baden Produce Company in Winfield. Twigg made the social rounds and was considered to be bright, with good background and character, not to mention pleasant to look upon, broad shoulders atop a 5-foot-9 frame. He met a young woman named Jessie Hamilton, born and bred in Winfield, and courted her seriously enough to propose marriage sometime around 1894.
The marriage did not take place. For unclear reasons, Jessie Hamilton broke it off. Gilbert Twigg was bereft, and while he continued to work at the Baden Mills, he also wanted out of Winfield. Two years later, in July 1896, 28-year-old Gilbert enlisted in the United States Army and headed for St. Louis, where he joined the 8th Cavalry and shipped out to Camp Forse in Huntsville, Alabama.
Within a year, Twigg's first-class marksmanship earned him a promotion to corporal. But when he learned the 8th Cavalry had been passed over for deployment to Cuba, Twigg switched to the 17 Company Signal Corps. He shipped out in December 1898, where he was assigned as a telephone operator but never saw combat, and his enlistment expired the following April. Twigg's discharge papers, stamped in New York City, indicated he had an "excellent record of service."
But Gilbert Twigg wasn't quite done with the Army. He wanted the combat he felt he was denied in Cuba, and re-upped with the Signal Corps for a second three-year term. When he shipped out to the Banate on Panay Island in the Philippines in July 1899, that country was in the midst of its own bloody, brutal conflict with the United States. The Philippine Islands expected independence after the end of the Spanish-American War, but the U.S. maintained them as a colony. The resulting insurrection was ugly — introducing the epithet "gook" to the American lexicon, and the widespread use of torture by both sides — and costly, leading to the death of 4,200 American troops, more than 20,000 Filipino soldiers, and as many as 200,000 Filipino civilians.
Twigg's personality, meanwhile, began to show signs of strain. High heat, forceful opposition, terrible conditions, and watching fellow soldiers die alongside you are prime ingredients for what we now understand to be post-traumatic stress disorder.
There Twigg engaged in his first major interpersonal conflict, involving an Army officer, Myron C. Bowdish, and a contract surgeon, O.W. Woods. Twigg's later, rambling account was light on detail: "Now, there is one thing that I have to regret, and that is because I did not settle this thing with [Bowdish and Woods] ... Then I could have gotten what was due me, and this thing would have been over long ago. I would have settled these things then and there, but lived in the hopes that there would be some end to the thing some time, but it seems not. At least, there is no end in sight yet, and have no way of knowing that there ever will be."
Clearly, something happened that he refused to forget. Whatever it was, the Army didn't think enough of it to blemish Twigg's record. His three-year enlistment ended on April 29, 1902, and Twigg, by then promoted to sergeant, was discharged in California with another citation for excellent service. He could have returned to Winfield, but instead found work at the Royal Milling Company in Great Falls, Montana, at $3 a day.
The work kept Twigg so busy, as he wrote to his friend Chance Wells in September of that year, that Fourth of July and the coming Labor Day were "the only time I have had to myself up to the present time." Still, Twigg wrote, "I like the work and the place here very much and would like to stay here. This is a beautiful town of about 14,000 population with all the advantages of an eastern town ... it is only a matter of a few years when Great Falls will be a great city."
Despite Twigg's optimism, he ended his letter to Wells, still living in Winfield, with more than a pang of sadness: "Well, Chance, I often think of the old days gone by when we use to have so much fun together in our little crowd. Those were the happiest days in my life, and it would have been much better for me if I had gotten married and settled down as you have done. I have no doubt but what you are very happy, while I am not."
Less than a year later, after a return back East to see what remained of his family, Gilbert Twigg returned to Winfield for good. Any remaining sliver of optimism he seemed to have withered away, replaced by an outrageous plan.

While Gilbert Twigg grew up among scores of family members before embarking upon a life of solo adventure, George Nichols, the man who may have ended the Winfield massacre, lived a life marked by uniqueness, where he had to be twice as good, if not more so.
Nichols' father, John, had moved his wife and nine children from Topeka to Winfield soon after the town's founding in 1871, when George was just 3 years old. There were other Nicholses in Winfield, including another George. That family was white. John's was black, the first such family in Winfield. It's unclear whether the town treated the Nichols family with rank prejudice; papers like the Courier, the Daily Free Press, and the Tribune weren't about to document racial slurs or violent outbursts directed at black people. John, a former slave, set up shop as a barber, and it did not appear to be a segregated business.
George married Catherine Schaffer in 1893 and had two children: Leon in 1894, Welcome seven years later. In between, Nichols was elected to the office of constable, and appointed night watchman of the Winfield Police in 1898, making him the first black officer on the force. When Nichols announced his retirement in 1911 in favor of the farming life, the other officers convinced him — with more consistent pay — to stay on.
Nichols engaged in a number of gun battles, including one incident where he fatally shot a suspect who had, minutes before, shot dead another Winfield policeman. He took a bullet to the hand in the process, an injury that spurred him to stop patrolling at night and become Winfield's first desk sergeant. Serious illness finally pulled him away from the police department a few weeks before his death on June 23, 1944.
But in August 1903, Nichols was another officer on call every night to look out for suspicious figures in need of arrest. None of his experience prepared him for what happened the night of the 13th.
Winfield Police Department (Nichols, fifth from left).
Near the end of his time in Great Falls, Gilbert Twigg wrote to Baden Mills in Winfield and tried to get his old job back. No such luck. He'd parted ways with the firm in Great Falls under murky circumstances that apparently raised suspicion about his mental state. Still, Twigg kept looking for work once he returned to Winfield, some weeks before August 1903. Perhaps, puffed up by his Army experience as a telephone operator, he tried to get a job at the Winfield Telephone Company, where bandleader W.H. Caman held a full-time job, or the Water Works, which once employed the man Twigg's former fiancée ended up marrying.
If he did seek work, neither business hired Gilbert Twigg. Nor did any other place of employ. He spent the summer days, according to the local papers, "loafing about town," often by Winfield's parks. Twigg stayed in a rooming house on Seventh Street close to Main, not far from where his Uncle Argel and Aunt Barbara still resided. They tried to engage Gilbert every now and then, but the visits with their nephew decreased and grew more disquieting. He spoke of being "doped" in Great Falls, and said that people in the Montana community had plotted against him.
Something changed on the first of August. Twigg walked into Winfield & Miller, the hardware and general goods store, to buy a shotgun. There was "nothing unusual" about the gun purchase, the Daily Courier would report after the fact, but when Twigg started choosing his ammunition it aroused the curiosity of the store's owner, W.D. Winfield, standing close by to watch the sale.
"What are you going to do with that kind of a shell?" Winfield asked.
"I haven't yet decided," Twigg responded.
Before Twigg left the store, he bought one additional item: a .32 Harrington & Richards pistol. A cheap gun, comparatively, costing no more than $5.
Over the next week or so he refined his plan. He bought shotgun shells and stored them in a trunk in his small room. He continued to wander around the city parks, muttering aloud about the young lady who jilted him all those years ago following him from place to place, even all the way to the Philippines. He took out wads of cash from the local banks, designating two $300 drafts each payable to his brothers, then living in Pennsylvania.
A few hours before the concert started, Twigg went to his Uncle Argel's house. Gilbert didn't stay long, and said nothing of his plans. Still, Argel noticed the shotgun and the buckskin suit and thought his nephew might have gone hunting. Gilbert left the house around 7 p.m. and Argel prepared to retire for the night. Later, Argel wondered if he ought to have said anything about Gilbert's instability, but since he didn't believe his nephew posed a danger to others, he hadn't wanted to alert the authorities.
George Nichols witnessed Twigg's disturbed wanderings, too, and suggested to his police superiors that something be done. But Nichols was reluctant to address Twigg directly. According to the 1933 recollections of Roscoe Bell, who witnessed the massacre, "George, as being a colored man, and very sensitive as well as at all times considerate, felt that the white officers should handle the case."
Twigg stationed himself in the alley about 125 feet west of Ninth and Main as the concert began. He also brought an express wagon full of shells, buckshot, and a nitroglycerin/black powder mix. Twigg dropped to one knee, like he'd been taught in basic training. He raised his shotgun, aimed at the bandstand. The players arranged themselves in a semicircle around their leader, Caman.
Twigg fired at Caman, the object of his apparent ire. The shot hit a horse over its back, and the animal reared its hind legs and roared away.
Then Twigg fired again, straight at the bandstand.
That shot hit Re Oliver, the Military Band's drummer, going through his shoulder and abdomen. "I'm shot, boys," Oliver cried, and fell over, but W.H. Caman did not hear him and shouted at the rest of the band to sit down, continuing to pass out sheet music for the night's set.
The bullet kept going, passing through Clyde Waggoner's bass horn and shattering the instrument. His injuries were serious, not fatal, but the horn's destruction alerted Caman that something extraordinary was happening. Every time Twigg fired, he took a step back, compensating for the shotgun's recoil. He dropped to one knee each time, and fired again.
Six shots hit William Bowman, a farmer from Oxford, a city some 10 miles away, who stood in front of the Winfield National Bank. Bog, as his friends called him, fell near the steps, the fusillade of gunfire forcing him up and then down to the ground, blood and brains pooling around what remained of his head. He died instantly. Nearby, Everett Ridgeway took three shots to his back. Twenty-two-year-old Port Smith was shot in the head, the bullet lodging in his brain. He died after being transported to the Holcomb & Boyle hospital.
Dawson Billiter, a 23-year-old barber, stood near the front corner of Craig's Book Store when he was hit, shots passing through his neck and bowels. He lived only a half hour, spending his last half-conscious minutes mumbling to those who had rushed up to him that he lived on East 10th Street. Arthur Hansford, visiting from West Virginia, took another shot in the hand.
As Billiter died on the street, Link Smith sat on the southwest corner of Ninth and Manning. He had heard Twigg's first shot and began to run towards the middle of Ninth, where he found his aunt, Sallie Milligan. She'd seen the muzzle flash but, curiously, felt no fear of the shooter.
"What's going on?" Smith asked.
"I don't know," Sallie replied.
J.P. Milligan, Sallie's husband and Smith's uncle, moved to the doorway of his shoe shop. Without realizing, he stood directly in front of Gilbert Twigg. Smith saw his uncle from the across the street and ran towards him, momentarily forgetting Twigg was still shooting. Twigg, seeing Smith, fired a fast, deliberate shot. A few buckshot pellets passed through Smith's coat sleeve.
Once he reached his uncle, Link asked for a gun to take the shooter down. Milligan refused. "Don't do it." Link ignored his uncle and ran upstairs, where he hoped a gun might be stashed in the rooms of the boarders. If there was, Link didn't find one.
Twigg reloaded his shotgun. At that moment four men rushed down the stairs of the Odd Fellows Hall, situated just above Craig's Book Store. Its exit, next to the shoe shop, was right in Twigg's line of sight. One volley of gunfire took out three of the men: Sterling Race, Elmer Farnsworth, and J.B. Story. Race died after only a few minutes; Farnsworth, who owned Winfield's cigar store, lived only until 8:30 the following evening; Story took a bullet to his elbow and side, but the wounds were not fatal. The bullets entirely missed the fourth man, James Galloway.
At this point, Twigg fired the shotgun's second barrel. He first hit Otis Carter, a janitor with the Odd Fellows, who had just emerged from the stairwell. Carter took two shots, with the one to the temple proving to be fatal the next morning.
Sixteen-year-old Roy Davis was also in the line of fire. Eight buckshot pellets pierced his neck and bowels. Earlier that day, Davis had run into Twigg as he wandered and mumbled around Island Park, carrying his shotgun. Then, Twigg had pushed the boy away, threatening to shoot him if he didn't follow orders. After this second encounter with Twigg and his shotgun, Davis bled out on the street and died within minutes.
Twigg stepped back, reloaded, and fired some more. The next shot hit three women: Mrs. Jonathan Brooks, Elizabeth Ballard, and Florence Gregg. Both Ballard and Gregg were wounded in the neck; Gregg also suffered hand and leg injuries.
The shooter swung around to the south end of the bandstand. Will Moore was severely wounded from a shot to the left thigh, while Bill Couchman ended up with a pellet in his shoulder. Jim Clarkson was also hit, a pellet entering his right arm and another shot passing through his side and into his bowels.
Subsequent shots hit William Wilkins and Charles Thomas in their knees, Clyde Reed in his hip and kidneys, and Sam Compton in his leg. Still more men suffered serious injuries: Elmer Urie (wrist), H.E. Williams (broken wrist), Jake Simpson (chest), Al Shoup (leg), Artie Cutler (foot), and John Armstrong (leg).
Twigg could have continued shooting. He had already caused so much carnage. But then he recognized the two men running toward him from the other side of the intersection. He lifted his .32 revolver and aimed it at his head.
George Nichols watched Twigg raise the revolver from his perch in the alley near Ninth and Main.
He began the night shift near Dauber's Dry Goods store, two blocks away, when he heard the first round of shots, and ran toward the gunfire, ready to use the Winchester rifle in hand or the .44 holstered to his body. At the coroner's inquest a few days later, Nichols testified he "saw Twigg leaning against a telegraph pole." Nichols stopped about 40 feet from where Twigg stood. He saw Twigg fall and heard him groan audibly.
Nichols continued to watch Twigg for a couple more minutes, then retreated into the alley to fetch his lantern. As he did so, he heard a single shot "much lighter" than the others, implying the sound came from the .32 caliber pistol, not the shotgun.
Nichols ran into an off-duty detective named Cal Ferguson, toting his own shotgun. Nichols explained what was happening, and the two men moved back to the alley going north to Friedenburg's Pharmacy, through the store, and into the alley toward the place where Twigg had been shooting.
The two men found Twigg crouched on hands and knees, his head on an iron pile where the alley opened onto Ninth. Ferguson said he saw the wound in Twigg's head; a revolver lay by his side, with 8 to 10 empty shells, cartridges, and a few loaded shells in a small tin wagon nearby. Twigg still held his shotgun in his arms.
Sheriff James Samuel Day and Constable Guy Marsh arrived on the scene from the south side of Ninth and Main, having ducked a spray of shots by the First National Bank. They found Nichols and Ferguson standing near Gilbert Twigg's prone body. The four men carried the mortally wounded Twigg to the bandstand and placed him on the platform. As an unidentified man ran to find medical help, Twigg was formally identified by his Uncle Argel.
No doctor attended to Twigg, as they were occupied with his victims. Lying on the bandstand, covered with his own blood from head to foot, Gilbert Twigg expired.
Gilbert Twigg's body lay on a gurney at Axtell Funeral Home as his uncle tried to find a church to administer the funeral and a cemetery to bury him. Despite much resistance and some outright refusals, Twigg had a funeral, attended by Argel, Chance Wells, and a handful of others. Today, Twigg's burial site is subject to dispute. A military headstone for Sergeant G.A. Twigg stands on the north end of what's now known as Union-Graham Cemetery in Winfield. But a yellow flag further south, in Highland Cemetery, is believed to mark where Twigg is truly buried.
The morning after the massacre, Winfield police officers searched Twigg's room at the boarding house on the Thompson block of Seventh Street. They found yet more ammunition in a trunk, along with a note. While written with steady penmanship, the note's tone was far removed from the lucid sadness of Twigg's 1902 letter to his friend Chance Wells.
Twigg blamed everyone other than himself for his problems, claiming he did "not and most likely never will know the real cause of being treated in the manner in which I have been treated." His tone is echoed by Charles Whitman's suicide note, found after Whitman killed 16 people in 1966: "I don't really understand myself these days. I am supposed to be an average reasonable and intelligent young man. However lately … I have been a victim of many unusual and irrational thoughts."
"You know that you drove me from place to place in the same manner and forced me to give up a neat little sum of my hard earned money to railroad companies money that I went through the danger of war and diseases, both in Cuba and in the Philippines to get," Twigg continued in rambling, paranoid, petulant, and vengeful fashion. "You also know that you watched my mail and after finding out my friends and correspondents, you told them some kind of a story about me that caused everyone of them to drop me and turn me down cold."
The paranoia built to a crescendo in the closing paragraph: "You may think your theory is all right, but if common sense does not teach you, experience will. Your brain may be all right in quality, but there may be a chance for them to be lacking in quantity. I believe this as all I have to say, so, 'Adios.'"
Coroner Cooper held his inquest Friday evening. Sheriff Day, Argel Twigg, and others testified to what they saw and heard the night before. Night watchman George Nichols told the inquest he heard Gilbert Twigg's final shot and found him dying in the alley of a self-inflicted wound. When testimony concluded the jury ruled that Twigg's death was the result of suicide, from a .32 shot to the head.
For more than a century the people of Winfield grew up believing Nichols played a more active role in Twigg's death. That rumor cast Nichols as a ready-made hero who ended the town's most incomprehensible nightmare, but was forced to deny his role because it was considered too dangerous for a black man to kill a white man, even justifiably.
Robert P. Davis, who studied the massacre extensively, speculated further. "Other than the Coroner's Inquest, no other investigation of the episode seems to have been conducted," Davis wrote in 2001. "Twigg was found with a 'wound' in his head. Was it a .32 caliber, close-range wound surrounded by powder burns? Or was it a .44 caliber wound fired from a distance? Nichols was carrying both his Winchester rifle and a .44 caliber revolver. Maybe the wound was from some different sized weapon, fired from an alternate distance. No note of this has ever come to light."
Nichols denied the rumor almost as soon as it began circulating. Its origin was a wire report only a few hours after the massacre stating Nichols "confronted Twigg and fired a bullet into his head, but before life was extinct the demented man drew a revolver from his pocket and fired a shot into his own." Hindsight and greater understanding of the rush of inaccurate, conflicting statements in the early reports of modern-day mass shootings lend credence to something similar happening here, rather than an early statement of fact in need of quashing. One other point buttresses the truth of Nichols' vociferous denials and silences the rumormongers: his shooting, 17 years after Twigg's massacre, of the man who killed a fellow police officer, and the generally positive media coverage and attention toward Nichols for this justifiable homicide.
When George Nichols died in 1944, his obituary quoted an unnamed friend as "reflecting the general esteem" among the town of Winfield: "If everyone was as good as George we wouldn't need a police force."
He was buried only 100 yards away from Gilbert Twigg's headstone.

"Why a man of his ability and integrity should fall the victim of a maniac's whim can never be explained in this world," a friend wrote the widow of Elmer Farnsworth. The town buried Farnsworth, Sterling Race, Otis Carter, Roy Davis, and Port Smith, while Dawson Billiter's remains went to nearby Wilmot, interred next to his mother. William Bowman's boy shipped back to his home of Oxford. Charles Thomas died two and a half days after the massacre.
Everett Ridgeway, so given up for dead that the papers reported there was "no hope" and practically planned his funeral, proved the naysayers wrong. By September 23, he could move his right leg. Two weeks later, on October 5, a reporter found him sitting up in bed reading newspapers, with limited use of his arms. "You newspapers have had me dead several times," said Ridgeway, who'd dropped to a hundred pounds — 60 below his usual weight — during his arduous recuperation, "but I am far from that yet and I am going to get well. The doctors and everybody told me I couldn't get well, but I was determined to pull through and I did. It was a close call, but I made it."
He could walk with crutches in November, but it was clear Ridgeway's career as a plasterer was over. By year's end the town of Winfield raised $88 to stake Ridgeway in starting a restaurant. "Everything put up in first-class style. Give us a call. Try a Bowl of Chili," read the ad he took out in early January 1904.
The restaurant lasted only a month. Ridgeway's health worsened considerably, and never recovered. He died in 1907.
Jessie Hamilton, the woman who chose not to marry Gilbert Twigg, never spoke to the newspapers about the massacre. Nor do we know what, if anything, she knew about the last, terrible acts of her former fiancé. But as Hamilton had moved with her husband to Wichita after their wedding in August 1900, and they still visited Winfield on occasion afterward, it's likely she did know — and, understandably, did not want to discuss it.
Instead Hamilton, thereafter Mrs. Ernest Cramer, led an exemplary life in Wichita: mother to five children, soprano soloist with her church choir, and so active in the burgeoning suffragist movement that she was honored, in March 1917, for "taking a prominent part in the work of establishing women's suffrage in Kansas."
Four years later, in 1921, Jessie Cramer was the first woman juror to serve in a Wichita criminal case. (Her twin sister, Jean, beat her to the "first overall" honor, breaking the gender barrier on a civil trial.) Serving on a subsequent jury, Cramer apparently so irritated the judge with her probing questions and complaints that when he demanded to know why she spoke up so much, Cramer replied: "But the other side is so obstinate."
"If the city had been provided with electric lights," one man told the Daily Free Press the morning after the mass shooting, "the murderer would have fired but two shots. The poorly lighted streets made the terrible deed possible. It's a shame [Winfield] doesn't have electric lights."
Electric lights came to Winfield within three years of the man's lament. Today it is a modern small town, more than double its population in 1903. Tourists still come every September, now to the annual bluegrass festival. The coffee is excellent at College Hill Coffee, close to Southwestern College, still Winfield's only institution of higher learning. Ridgeway's place is beyond faded memory, but Blue's has delicious breakfast all day and Kathryn's is where to go for fine dining. The Winfield National Bank — now, simply, CornerBank — remains at its perch on Ninth and Main. Any trace of bullet holes in the window disappeared long ago, but they were around as late as 1927.
The lack of electric lights is one of many what-ifs and easy scapegoats of the massacre on Ninth and Main. More pressing ones concerned Gilbert Twigg's mental health: Was his increased paranoid behavior not taken seriously enough? Was he taken seriously, but caution prevailed? As Sue Klebold, mother of Columbine co-shooter Dylan Klebold, said in a recent interview, "The most important thing we can do is accept the concept that someone we love may not be feeling inside the way they present to us."
We better understand, post-Columbine, the sense of alienation and disenfranchisement that may lead a subset of young white men to mass murder. Conversely, we also understand how other young people take in these crimes, their immediate, visceral brutality, and fall under a spell that mimics the propagation of a lethal virus.
The Winfield massacre in August 1903 prompted extensive coverage by the local and state papers. Without that coverage this story would have been entirely lost to history, because corroborating legal records, such as the coroner's inquest or police files, were destroyed decades ago, likely by fire or flood. The limits of technology, to telegrams and cables and the expensive telephone call or two, confined much coverage of Gilbert Twigg's awful crimes within the borders of Kansas. The town marked anniversaries with survivor accounts in the Courier and Free Press, though the focus was entirely on the tragedy itself, never about other shootings or gun control. Then greater massacres in the form of World Wars crowded out those memories.
When Howard Unruh, another former serviceman, shot and killed 12 of his neighbors on September 6, 1949, in Camden, New Jersey, Gilbert Twigg's name popped up anew on the wire services. "Camden Slaying Stirs Old Memory," read the Associated Press headline the following day, on a three-paragraph brief describing how "old-time residents" recalled a similar massacre. A pithier UPI story tallied the death toll and said Unruh's massacre had topped Twigg's.
Afterward, Twigg's name, and his crime, barely rated national attention. Cultural memory still includes Unruh on occasion and goes no further back. Historical research on mass shootings is scant because the darkness and the tragedy of the crimes overwhelm the rational pursuit of correlations and causalities. That something so modern was, in fact, happening more than a century ago means reckoning with greater societal problems instead of the individual ills of any one perpetrator. It's a discomfiting thought. All the easier to forget.
The Saturday after the massacre, the papers reported a palmist visited Gilbert Twigg's body, not yet buried, and examined the shooter'-s right hand. The palmist "failed to find any indications of insanity, but that lines indicating extreme morbidness and a tendency to murder, vengeance, and violent death were plainly marked."

Q: return NULL for whois python3 module in the used https://pypi.org/project/python-whois/ python-whois
I have a simple script to practice, and when I do whois to domains separately it does what I need, but this time I need to make a for to a list of domains.
When I execute it, it only does the whois to the last domain, the others return NULL, if no response has been obtained.
What am I doing wrong?
import whois
import os

with open("dominios.txt", "r") as archivo:

    for linea in archivo.readlines():
        w = whois.whois(linea)
        registrador = 'PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com'
        whoiSer = 'whois.publicdomainregistry.com'

        serverWhois = w.whois_server
        serverWhois = w.whois_server
        expiracion = w.expiration_date
        creacion = w.creation_date
        dominio = w.name
        destFile = r"act.txt"
        print (str(w))
        # with open(destFile, 'a') as f:
        #     f.write(str(w)+"\n")

A: I don't see a whois package that exactly corresponds with your usage, so I'm not completely certain.
But the main problem I see is that you're using readlines() to read the file without stripping the newline from the end of the lines.  It's possible that if your file doesn't have a newline at the end, the last one is working because there's no newline.
Try instead:
...
with open("dominios.txt", "r") as archivo:

    for linea in archivo.read().splitlines():
        w = whois.whois(linea)
...

Water risk is increasing worldwide with ever more serious water shortages and pollution, as well as abnormal weather caused by climate change. This affects production of raw materials and manufacture of products, leading to a corresponding interest in corporate water risk management. The Mitsubishi Electric Group uses WRI Aqueduct* to keep track of current and future water risk. As of July 2016, we have identified bases inside Japan and overseas at high risk of water shortage, flooding, etc.
We use the results of this assessment to prioritize countermeasures for each production base and take clear action. This includes reporting to government authorities as required.
The Mitsubishi Electric Group continuously reviews data from all production bases on water use and reuse, checks every six months to make sure there are no major fluctuations in the values reported, and implements countermeasures as needed. All production bases endeavor to decrease water use and increase water reuse. Examples of effective water use are shared with other bases through regional meetings and key person research so they can make use of the information. Product development takes effect on water sources and life cycle evaluation into account, reducing our products' impact on the environment.
Mitsubishi Electric continued to carry out initiatives to save water, including the reuse of the warm water used in shipment testing for processing and cleaning components, and the use of treated wastewater for flushing toilets and replenishing cooling towers. As a result, total water usage was 10.8 million m3, and the reuse ratio was 31%.
In addition to the aforementioned measures, our affiliates in Japan carried out other initiatives, including replacing water-cooled air-conditioners with air-cooled models. Consequently, water usage was 2.69 million m3, and the reuse rate was 40%.
The initiatives at overseas affiliates focused on using purified wastewater, resulting in water usage of 2.11 million m3 and a reuse rate of 8%.
Green Cycle Systems Corporation (GCS), part of the Mitsubishi Electric Group, recovers plastic from end-of-life home appliances. By 2011, they had achieved reuse of 99% of the water used in this process and have maintained this level of reuse ever since.
Water is used in the GCS plant as part of their process for sorting mixed crushed plastic waste into individual types of plastic. The water becomes contaminated with fine particles of plastic and cannot be reused as-is, so GCS have developed a process where the fine particles are adsorbed and removed by microbubbles*, improving their water recycling and reuse ratio. Aside from exceptional cases such as treating salvaged sludge or evaporation, the process needs almost no new water and so does not consume large quantities of water.
* Microbubbles: Microscopic bubbles approximately 1/100th the size of normal bubbles (0.1 mm/100 microns in diameter or smaller). Unlike normal bubbles, microbubbles drift slowly through the water as they rise and are used for their ability to adsorb tiny particles.
Case Study: Mitsubishi Electric Dalian Industrial Products Co., Ltd.
Mitsubishi Electric Dalian Industrial Products Co., Ltd., which manufactures factory automation equipment and other products, reuses purified domestic waste water as gray water.
Treatment systems using advanced technology such as membrane bioreactors, or catalytic oxidation which is widely used in Japan, are installed at the plant and housing buildings. Reusing this water for washing and in toilets has saved approximately 14,000 tons of water per year, and also reduced costs.
With the recent government-led introduction of corporate environmental credit assessments*, China has started to require greater measures for environmental protection. We will continue to look for ways to use resources sustainably, not only to comply with national regulations but also to respond to social demand.
* Corporate environmental credit assessment: Assessments carried out by regional authorities under the Corporate Environmental Credit Assessment Law which came into force in December 2013. The assessments evaluate the environmental practices of companies with significant environmental impact, such as release of large quantities of pollutants, and place them into one of four ranks based on the results. Companies with poor evaluations may be subject to disciplinary action.
Aerial view of Mitsubishi Electric Dalian Industrial Products Co., Ltd.
For the 9th Environmental Plan, the new three-year plan spanning fiscal 2019 to 2021, we set the target of improving water usage per unit of sales by 1% per year compared to fiscal 2011. Our initiatives to achieve this target include evaluating water resource risk at all of the manufacturing sites in Japan and overseas, reducing the use of water resources through clear prioritization of sites where measures are needed, and promoting reuse of water. We are also developing and introducing original water treatment/purification technologies and systems.
In fiscal 2018, Mitsubishi Electric was named an A-List company in the CDP Water Program for two consecutive years, in fiscal 2017 and 2018. The CDP awarded us this highest evaluation in recognition of exceptional activities in terms of measures and strategies for water resources. For the CDP Supply Chain Program, we also received A-List recognition in the CDP Supplier Water category for two years running. We will continue to press forward with our efforts to contribute to the realization of a sustainable society.


Home Perspectives Lame Duck Politics, Part II: Are the Democrats campaigning in Palestine?
Lame Duck Politics, Part II: Are the Democrats campaigning in Palestine?
The situation in Palestine is worse than at perhaps any other time in the history of the occupation. The people are starving, and there is limited fresh water. They are living under curfew, the violation of which can lead to death. Since March 29, 2002, Israel has subjected the people of Palestine to a most brutal military onslaught, and yet it is now the Palestinian people, along with governments of the East and West who are calling for an end to "Palestinian violence." Many are saying that it is Palestinian violence that is causing Israel to retaliate, and to carry out a threatened permanent re-occupation of the lands previously under Palestinian control in the West Bank and Gaza. Palestinian writers are accusing Hamas and Islamic Jihad of creating the present situation, even though most of the suicide attacks which have taken place since the beginning of the intifaada have not been carried out by Hamas, or Islamic Jihad. One writer even claims now that the Likud p! arty created Hamas, this no doubt in an effort to exploit the growing backlash against the Islamic movement, timed to coincide with Arafat's capitulation, and acceptance of what is being touted as the "Clinton Plan." By taking political shots at Hamas, these writers no doubt feel that along with saving Arafat by insinuating that Hamas is provoking Israel, or vice versa, they can eliminate Arafat's only real competition for the unsolicited affectations and respect of the Palestinian people, fearing this might translate into votes.
President Bush, who has been working on his own plan for peace in the region, is being put off by the current wave of violence, and bombings. He is being upstaged by the "Clinton Plan," the very bargain that was previously rejected by Arafat, and whose rejection led to the present situation.
Following the failure of the now infamous Camp David II Summit, newspapers in the United States were ripe with the writings of pro-Israeli pundits who laid out the plan for Israeli action that is now being carried out against Palestine. Whereas there was no talk of Sharon's visit to al-Aqsa mosque, there was plenty of chatter about the proposed "limited war" and now imminent re-occupation. Israel wants the people of the world to believe that it is "reacting" when in fact, it is more likely that Israel is implementing its plan, a contingency plan drawn up long ago, designed to finalize its conquest of Palestine. One need only look back to the writings of people like American University professor, Amos Perlmutter, who wrote several articles on this issue, published by the Washington Times, following Arafat's departure from Camp David. Perlmutter's comments were speculative, yet, most people that read the articles might have understood quite well from his statements wha! t the next stage in the conquest of Palestine would likely be, and sought to discourage Israel from its ambitions, but failed.
None of this means very much now since as was anticipated, attempts to create increased tensions between the Islamic movement and the PA is paying off. The idea that Israel had been pushing for a Palestinian civil war, as in a military confrontation, is perhaps now better understood. Having convinced Arafat and others that their plight lays in the hands of suicide bombers, it might be hoped that it would only be a matter of time before the Palestinian people would turn against one another. Either this, or they will become so polarized from one another politically that the idea of statehood will be squashed, and it was the political polarization that was always the primary goal, since Palestinian against Palestinian violence could never have the powerful and long-term affects of deep political divergence. There is a big difference between political party strife over ways to achieve a common goal, and the type of polarization that is now being created in Palestine. If ! we have one group contemplating putting off statehood under the guise of a pragmatic solution, while the other might bid to stay the present course, the positions could harden, turning into political ideologies rather than strategies. One group is being blamed for causing the fall of the PA, and Israeli reoccupation. Another submits to the people that acceptance of a less than adequate plan is the way to end the unbearable hardships created by the Israeli punishment. There are more than a few people who believe the present punishment and redeployment was the result of the initial Arafat rejection. Yet, it is being sold to the Palestinians, and the public, as a reaction to suicide bombings. This might rent the Palestinian political consensus for statehood, since the real argument being asserted is that once Palestinian retaliation against Israel end's, Palestine will be safe, and there will be food, even if there is no state.
There is of course something good to be said about the idea that any deal is better than no deal, or that a good deal is better than a bad deal. Concerned that the Bush plan would be less generous than the Clinton Plan, formerly the Oslo plan, perhaps Arafat feels that it is smarter to take what might appear to him, a more generous offer. Although the Bush plan has yet to be presented, for some strange reason it is already being characterized as less seductive than Clinton's. Still, an Arafat reversal does not explain why he walked away from the Clinton plan to begin with. This reason says something about the potential success of any plan, since he passed up the deal for a reason, and this reason deserves serious contemplation and analysis, since it has something to do with how 1.2 billion Muslims view Palestine, and what its Muslim holy sites represent to them. Enticing Arafat to capitulate on statehood and the right to return is one thing, while readopting Oslo is ! quite another.
Yet, if there is no substantive reason for the first rejection, only two things can be reasonably assumed concerning Arafat's sudden change of heart. Arafat is either willing to say and do almost anything to remain in power, and skirt reforms, or there are hidden hands guiding the Arafat response. Hidden hands that are not aiming so much to empower Arafat, but to decrease the energy behind the push for Palestinian statehood, while hoping to derail Bush's popularity among Muslims in the United States resulting from his call for a Palestinian state. The left has upped the ante and pulled Arafat out of political obliqueness, and hard left. The Israeli left, perhaps feels that the Bush administration is bogged down with its Homeland security initiative, along with FBI and CIA reforms, and other issues related to homeland security. Hoping to exploit the supposed distraction, the Israeli left, which is closely linked to the left in the United States, and especially with Arab ! Christians and Muslims in the United States, might be working through their contacts with the PA, to resell the Clinton/Oslo Plan. In so doing, they may hope to undermine Muslim American support for the Bush administration, empower the left in Israel, and give Democrats in the United States bragging rights, and another chance to court, this time around, the Muslim American vote. Their success would also hand Clinton the peacemaker legacy that he sought before leaving office.
If these possibilities are indeed facts, that might indicate that the coveted prize is not peace in Palestine at all, but Muslim American votes in the upcoming November elections, and the 2004 presidential race. Success for the left in this respect would lead to further demonization and isolation of the Islamic movement, and an overwhelming victory for the left in Israel and the U.S. The Likud, for its part, is served either way, since its primary objective at this point might be simply to prevent statehood, and this is the point of ideological congruence between the PA, the Israeli left, and right, and the left in the United States. There is no real difference in the objectives between the left and right in Israel on the issue of statehood. One says publicly "absolutely not," while the other says perhaps, and continues to push Oslo, which simply avoided the issue of Palestinian statehood, which might also be the neo-con position.
Long before the present Arafat capitulation, pro-Arafat and secular leftist infiltrated many of the Muslim organizations in the United States, seeking to direct Muslim American support away from the Islamic movement, and towards the PA, and back to Oslo. Their focus was primarily the Palestinian organizations, but they also, through various methods, sought to turn Muslim American public opinion generally against the Bush administration, the Republican Party, and the Islamic movement, not because these represent any type of union. Their common and shared trait is that they represent various ideals viewed as counter to the left's secular liberal ideals. Fearing that conservative Muslim Americans would lean right, and thereby support a Bush re-election, as well as the inclusion of Islamic Movements in the Palestinian political structure, the left has been vying for Muslim American support, and have received little competition from the Bush administration. The FBI raids ! on Muslim organizations helped this leftist initiative considerably, since organization heads felt betrayed and humiliated by what they perceived as an administration willingness to throw Muslims to the wolves upon any opportunity to appease the Zionists and Christian Zionists lobbies. The Bush administration has had a difficult time following 911, walking the tightrope between Muslim Americans and Zionists in the United States, who are identified as both Jewish and Christian Zionists. These two, arguably the most powerful lobbies in the country, may also wish to push Muslim Americans away from the Bush administration. Muslim Americans represent a potentially very influential and sizable block of votes, and could compete with the traditional majorities in the party, should they push for input in the formulation of party agendas and platforms. It seems that the strategies of the Zionist right has not been so much to attempt to push the Muslim American vote left, but rather to! intimidate Muslim Americans away from the process all together. Charging that Islamists are out to sink the U.S. government, and form a radical Islamic state in the United States, when most Muslim Americans are not "Islamists" though many do support the right of religionists to share in governing their countries, has the potential to further demonize Muslim American political participation, and to cast it as another Communism that has a subversive intent in the United States. Through discouragement, and resistance to their inclusion, along with potent condemnation of Islam, from pulpits, cable newscasts, and televised evangelical programs, Zionist and the Christian right has sought to foment ill-will against Muslim American political participation. This would hamper the Republican Party should conservative groups seek to coalesce with Muslims, and keep Democrats at arms length from Muslims in the United States, soliciting only their votes, but not their activism. The logic ! being that it might be better to avoid Republican or Democrat party strife by refusing to encourage, or facilitate Muslim conservative, or liberal political participation. This would mean business as usual, and all things controlled mostly by Zionist and Christian Zionists on the right, and the other minorities mostly supporting the left.
For years, many Muslim Americans have cautioned their pro-Palestinian counterparts in the United States, to moderate their language, public views, and political objectives in respect to Palestine and Israel, easing fears that Muslim American participation is aimed solely at destroying Israel, or an abrupt U.S. departure from support for Israel. As for Palestinians in Palestine, they might consider that the world is watching. The world is considering Palestine as a neighbor, not only to Israel and the Arab states, but to the world at large. They might also consider that this is perhaps the premise for the President's call, and pressure from others, for deep reaching reforms, not only in the Palestinian political structure, but also in its political culture, as a pre-requisite to statehood.
Whereas calls for reform are being characterized as imperialism and stalling tactics, the truth might be that people are simply discouraged by either the inability or unwillingness of a people to recognize their basic needs as a priority, and to act in their own interests. Before a desire for statehood is likely to be realized, the Palestinian people will have to organize themselves socially and politically in such a way that they can be viewed as an independent, viable, responsible, and conscientious actor on a world stage. Weary of deep ideological cleavages between nation/states East and West, and dangerous economic disparity, it seems that increasingly the major influences in the world are adopting an unspoken criterion for inclusion and acceptance in what might be seen as a universal culture. This might be an attempt to eliminate, or prevent situations that increase the likelihood for conflicts between nation/states. It might also be a response to prognosticat! ions set forth in Samuel Huntington's Clash of Civilizations theory, even though many believe that Huntington was actually predicting a war between Islam and the West, rather than between nations, East and West. In this respect, it is noteworthy that efforts are also underway to reclaim and restore Islamic, Christian and Jewish doctrines from the more radical influences that has shaped their interpretations, as well as their responses to modern social, economic and political challenges. This is not the same as the United Nation's initiative to eliminate "all barriers" to women's empowerment, defined within many of its working documents as religion and culture.
Those who will argue that Israel did not have the same burden of performance, prior to its recognition as a independent nation, should keep in mind three important things 1.) Most immigrants to Israel immigrated from the United States and Europe where they had commandeered numerous political movements, left and right. 2). Their social and political culture is European, and American, not Middle Eastern, a political culture that is seen as repressive and despotic. 3). The Israel that the world is coming to know, is very different than the image of the Jewish homeland that most Americans and others envisioned, making this argument that Israel did not have this same burden to perform before being recognized as an independent state, perhaps better suited to substantiating a need for caution, rather than the opposite.
Prior to Palestinian statehood, the Palestinian people should take the initiative to establish a system whereby they can control their own internal politics peacefully and democratically, and lay the foundation for an independent economy. Rebuild the healthcare system, and the educational system, and the infrastructure. Israel, which has already done all it can do to destroy any hope of a Palestinian state, should not be allowed to succeed. It will take the assistance of Muslims, and Palestinians from throughout the world to assist and to rebuild Palestine, in spite of Israel's mischief and injustices. Freedom begins in the heart, and manifest outwardly as a result. There is an important role now for the religious leadership, Muslim and Christian, to build the people's morale, and help them to find the inner peace and confidence to move on, and to end their dependency upon Israel for either direction, assistance, acceptance or permission to live. Palestine doesn't need I! srael. Palestine needs Palestine.
It is more than apparent that increasingly U.S. domestic and international policies are tied closely to Israel. Palestinian statehood, sovereignty and independence are no exception. The Bush administration should understand that in its attempts to formulate a plan for peace, it must also consider that it must speak to the people in that region in the political language they understand. Its message is lost through unfamiliar terminology that is being interpreted to the people in a way that serves other agendas. It should relieve itself of the burden of perception among Muslims and Arabs, that the administration is a puppet of the neo-cons and the religious right. The issues at play are far too important to be reduced to such simplistic conclusions, never the less, they are. The new language of the left is a language that has developed over the years, and shapes political, economic and social perceptions from a leftist view very persuasively. The neo-cons are an example. O! nce liberals, neo-cons mastered the art of political conquest through the use of terminology and language, and used what one Muslim political analyst has termed "mimetic warfare" to spread their ideas among conservatives in a way that not only made them less offensive, but almost indiscernible as ideas that originated among liberal thinkers, and not conservatives. They successfully translated the liberal agenda into conservative language, and in so doing etched out a place for neo-conservatism on the political landscape. This position has allowed them to play all parties against the other, yet completely in favor of Israel, and by extension, themselves, since it is believed that Israel is their primary reason for existence.
Republicans over the years have earned whether deservedly or undeservedly a reputation for being unconcerned with the poor, uneducated, common people and minorities. This makes the idea that far right Christians and Zionists control the party, and therefore the administration problematic, both domestically and internationally, as are claims that it is controlled by neo-conservatives. Such characterizations create advantages for the left that could significantly impact the outcomes of elections, and the acceptance and implementation of administration initiatives overseas. It might also cause Muslim Americans, who are mostly cultural and fiscal conservatives, and yet, socially compassionate voters, and other moderates of all faiths and persuasions, to loose faith in the ability of the Republican Party to represent them, particularly the younger people.
As for Arafat and the Clinton Plan, there is clearly no apparent advantage to the acceptance of a well known and previously rejected Clinton, or Oslo plan, over an unveiled Bush plan. This might indicate that there is something else at play. Whatever it is, it is doubtful that it has either understood, or addressed the reason Arafat, when he had the chance to accept the Clinton Plan at Camp David, walked away. The late Yitzak Rabin's daughter declared on Israel radio that Oslo is dead. Someone should inform the Democrats, and Arafat, meanwhile the Palestinian people should move on, and reach out to their brothers and sisters throughout the world, their children in exile and Muslims and Christians, and everyone should help build Palestine, the same as we helped to build to Israel.

Top retail lighting designer Russell Lipscombe dies after long illness
Leading lighting designer Russell Lipscombe has died at the age of 49 following a long illness.
Lipscombe specialised in retail and worked for many of Britain's top retailers, including Burberry, Asprey, Harrods, Hamley's, Vodafone, Tesco, Reiss, Liberty, Safeway, House of Fraser, Gucci, Nike and Levi's.
Russell worked at Into Lighting before setting up his own practice, Light Tecnica, in 2005. His latest venture was the Office of Light, which again specialised in retail lighting and interactive technology.
Lipscombe was the lighting consultant for the Channel Four Television series on shopping psychology 'Shop Till You Drop' and the BBC TV series 'Mary Queen of Shops'.
In a statement, the directors of Into Lighting, Darren Orrow, Robert Crow, Russell Ford, Tony Cutting, said: 'We had the good fortune to know Russell both as co-directors and a friend.
'Russell had a unique ability to captivate an audience whether it be in a social or work environment. His contribution to the lighting design industry especially in the retail arena has been phenomenal and he has inspired many generations of lighting designers, architects and interior designers.
'After Russell left Into to do his own thing he continued to be very supportive of everything the company and we did. He will be sadly missed'

Do you believe He has the whole world in His hands?
As we bid farewell to 2017, let's consider what we might expect in 2018. The world has suffered much shaking in every imaginable way. The political order is shifting, as is the economic, religious, social, and demographic status quo that has defined our world for about a hundred years. Even as the end of World War I redrew the global order in 1918, a similar confluence of circumstances portends something new for the community of nations and the people of the earth.
This psalm frames the context for our conversation on this year-end edition of The Remnant Road. Join us as we consider what's ahead in 2018 on the Divine process of redeeming and restoring all Israel.
Some say that this is proof Yeshua observed the feast. Whether that is true or not, what we do know is that Hanukkah was observed in Yeshua's day even though it's not one of the Appointed Times specified in Leviticus 23.
A lot of shaking has been going on around Jerusalem in this season. it started with the Maccabees, who miraculously recovered the Temple from the Greeks and established Hanukkah. In the recent past, the British Army liberated Jerusalem from the Turks at Hanukkah in 1917, and in the days before Hanukkah in 1947 the United Nations decreed the division of the land of Israel into a Jewish state and an Arab state. This week, President Trump announced the American recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital, and event that is rocking the international order.
So what is Hanukkah all about? That's what we discuss in this show. Yes, we'll talk about menorahs and dreidels, but this conversation will go in many unexpected directions!

Into the West: Ashes of Ashes, on the last frontier of postcapitalism
More than ever, at the time of the first invisible industrial revolution, the work of the artist is to reveal the invisible.
Frank Perrin gets down to the task, as a carrier of fluid energy, an agile trickster, a carrier of light. He clears the fallow lands of the forgotten capitalism. His eye reveals the fission between the reality and the fiction, in vanities made by short-lived architectures, by assemblies of the words of the space which cover the screen of our routes, tracks of memory of wind and shade, in the foliated truth of the postcapitalism.
After megacities and their spots of slippery lights, their gleaming alignments, their radical freedom, Frank takes up in Las Vegas, New Mexico with the question of the crossings: crossings between levels of reality, between reality and fiction, in this city where so many movies have been shot, between Great Plains, Rocky Mountains, Chihahuan desert and Enchanted Circle, between Chicago and Los Angeles with equidistance by the train. Between cultures, between wild western stories and rapid invasion of the civilization, between tumbleweeds and barbed wire. In-between, in-between, in-between. Frank sneaks and reveals.
Frank proposed spontaneously his residence. After only a conversation we had about Las Vegas, he said "I come there". He came to discover everything. To discover himself too, I guess. He wanted a crossing, a disorientation, he who rather walked on the paths of the fashion, and the art, from Miami to Tokyo or Beirut. He found the disorientation. The day of his arrival, he wrote me: "The strength of the place is certainly going to change a little bit the direction of the project."
Before that, he bought the available books, of which the untraceable work "The Wildest of the Wild West", but also essays of John Brinckerhoff Jackson. He looked at dozens westerns shot in the region which speak invisible borders. Of the revival, in mind of the Spanish and Basque farmers who populated a small fertile pond at the foot of Sangre de Christo Mountains, of an improbable Eden of freedom, until the fast fall of this wild freedom under the pressure of the powerful hucksters coming from the East, Las Vegas is the epicenter of a history more filmed than written, a shift of the outlawed towards the law, which took place here even, as in the famous movie by Sam Peckinpah, Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid.
With Frank, I think of Joe Strummer who slid in the image in "Doctor Chance" as an aviator in a road trip. Frank is tragic in his art, joyful in his life. Fast, effective. There is of Indian Runner and Ouroboros in his movement. An archaeologist comfortable in muddy snow of the hills of the New Mexico as on the asphalt of cities, he searches the image, in what it hides and reveals. He works as a team, made in spontaneous generation or almost, drawing from the relations we weaved around us: with the professors, with Jaime, retired national park rangers who is precious
for finding the outdoor locations, with Paul Ardenne, an author in residence at Mayeur Projects in the same
Frank delivers us the unspeakable truth. The truth which crosses the jumble of the false legends and architectures, the real fictions and the alternative facts. Frank, what he says with his images is true. Nobody makes a mistake there. Neither the warned collector, nor the amateur of photography, nor the inhabitants of Las Vegas. In this place where the postcapitalism lives between scattered vestiges, connections high-speed Internet and multiculturalism, in this city that the local artist Roy Montibon described as "a strange configuration of interesting people", the work of Frank is colored with the strange and tragic solitude appropriate to the meaningless objects from the early beginning production. Consumed solitude of the postcapitalism on the horizon of its finiteness. When these objects burn, they become ashes of ashes in the desert of the Real.

Often new church leadership leads to a brand new look and feel for the church's website and branding. This was the case with Hershey Free Church when a new senior pastor came on board and the church began brand itself based on the core beliefs of the new leadership. The new leadership wanted to move away from the "scrapbook" look of the previous design to a modern clean layout that would look good on tablets. Finally, the client decided that they wanted to deliver a streamlined experience to users on smartphones.

Q: Is it possible to get power from an electric motor using wireless? I have an electric motor (see description below.) At the same time I  have a micro-controller attached to it which consumes (0.3W-0.4W) powered by a USB port.
I'm wondering if it's possible to power this micro-controller using a wireless charger system (like wireless chargee.)
Does this motor produce a magnetic field to use as a wireless charger?
Hope my idea is clear.
Power Rating    7.5 kW
Efficiency Class    IE2
AC Motor Type   Induction
Supply Voltage  400 V, 690 V
Phase   3
Output Speed    1465 rpm
Number of Poles 4
Mounting Type   Foot
Shaft Diameter  38mm
Shaft Length    80mm
Width   256mm
Length  535.5mm
Maximum Output Torque   49 Nm
Current Rating  14.7 A
Depth   262mm
Series  1LE1
Dimensions  535.5 x 256 x 262 mm
Rotation    Reversible

A:
Does this motor produce a magnetic field to use as a wireless charger?

No. The magnetic field it produces is almost completely contained inside the motor casing. Some leakage may be detectable with sensitive instruments, but not nearly enough to power an MCU board through its USB port.
A split-core current transformer placed around one of the motor wires might produce enough power, but only if the motor is powered and drawing sufficient current.
