LOUIS STUMPERS (born Aug-30-1911, died Sep-27-2003, 92 years old) Netherlands [what is this?] Frans Louis Henri Marie Stumpers was born in Eindhoven, Netherlands, on 30 August 1911. (1) He was champion of the Eindhoven Chess Club in 1938, 1939, 1946, 1947, 1948, 1949, 1951, 1952, 1953, 1955, 1957, 1958, 1961 and 1963, (2) and champion of the North Brabant Chess Federation (Noord Brabantse Schaak Bond, NBSB) in 1934, 1935, 1936, 1937, 1938, 1939, 1940, 1941, 1942, 1943, 1944, 1946, 1948, 1949, 1950, 1951, 1952, 1953, 1954, 1955, 1959, 1961, 1962, 1963, 1964, 1965, 1966 and 1967. (3) Stumpers participated in five Dutch Chess Championships, with his high-water mark a fourth place finish in 1948, (4) and represented his country at the 1st European Team Championship in Vienna in 1957 (two games, vs Josef Platt and Max Dorn). (5) From 1945 until about 1956, he was first Secretary and then Chairman of the NBSB. (3) Stumpers was a physicist, and worked for the Philips company as an assistant from 1928. During 1934-1937, he studied at the University of Utrecht, where he took the master's degree. (6) In 1938 Stumpers was again employed at Philips, (6) and at a tournament in 1942, he supplied the hungry chess players with food from his employer. (3) After the war, Stumpers made a career in physics, with patents and awards on information ("radio") technology. He received degrees from several universities and colleges, including in Poland and Japan. (1, 3, 6) Stumpers retired from Philips in 1972, but continued teaching, (6) partly as professor at the University of Utrecht (1977-1981). (7) He was also Vice President (1975-1981) and Honorary President (1990-2003) of URSI, the International Union of Radio Science. (8) Louis Stumpers married Mieke Driessen in 1954. They had five children, three girls and two boys.

Twenty first century schizoid man. Blood rack barbed wire Politicians' funeral pyre Innocents raped with napalm fire (Twenty first century schizoid man.) Sep-11-13    perfidious: This last resembles a post straight from the maw of <chrisowen>. Sep-11-13    Sneaky: I was tempted to suggest Tom Lehrer's "The Elements Song" but it's littered with the word "and". Sep-11-13    Abdel Irada: I'm fairly sure I can't nominate a single example from Ra'i, which in common with traditional Arabic music is founded on repetitions. Besides, it would be only slight-to-<∏∏>esque exaggeration to say it's a rare song that can omit at least three "habibis" in the first quatrain, each generally immediately preceded by a "ya." ;-) ∞ Sep-11-13    nok: There's also "Motorhead": Sunrise wrong side of another day Sky high and six thousand miles away Don't know how long I've been awake Wound up in an amazing state Can't get enough By the Beatles "When I'm 64" seems to do, too. Sep-11-13    al wazir: <nok: By the Beatles "When I'm 64" seems to do, too.> Almost, but not quite: "will you still" repeats. Sep-11-13    nok: But that's right before the chorus, not in the first verse. Sep-11-13    al wazir: <nok: But that's right before the chorus, not in the first verse.> Right you are! And it doesn't repeat until the 34th word, which may be a Guinness record. Sure beats the moon/croon/June songwriting of the early 20th century. Sep-11-13    al wazir: So how are we doing on the other questions? Are there any answers for #2? ♪<From the halls of Montezuma/ To the shores of Tripoli...>♫ Sep-11-13    talisman: ok..."what day is it?" "WHAT DAY IS IT?"...Bear's 100th b'day. "And it's Hump day!...OH YEA! Sep-12-13    nok: I find a vague semblance between this Montezuma and Oh Susanna, but then again I'm not American. Sep-12-13    talisman: <nok> Montezuma, Oh Susanna, Cortez...(What a Killer!) ...Neil Young Sep-12-13    nok: That was a great album. Sep-12-13    al wazir: Time's up. <In a cavern, in a canyon, excavatin' for a mine/ Dwelt a miner, forty-niner, and his daughter Clementine...> Sep-12-13    Sneaky: OK I have the hands down winner: <<< A, B, C, D, E, F, G H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P Q, R, S T, U, V W, X Y and Z Now I know my ABCs Next time won't you sing with me? >>> That's 39 words without a repeat. Top THAT! Sep-12-13    tamar: Sneaky "I" repeats! Sep-12-13    Sneaky: Oh nooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!! Sep-12-13    Abdel Irada: <al wazir: Time's up. <In a cavern, in a canyon, excavatin' for a mine/ Dwelt a miner, forty-niner, and his daughter Clementine...>> Who knew Huckleberry Hound was a golden retriever? ∞ Sep-13-13    PinnedPiece: Concerning the five dolphins puzzle from June, and regarding <sneaky>'s answer, thus: <The "sucked up by the funnel" explanation actually makes sense to me. For those who don't know, it's basically a twister that is over the ocean, sucking tons of water into the sky. Living in Florida I've seen a few of them just off the coast. I've never personally seen fish fall from the sky but I can't see why it couldn't happen.> One wonders if any fish got sucked up from this event, which happened yesterday over Lake Michigan: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-qT... . Sep-13-13    Sneaky: That's a funnel alright. If that lake has fish in it at all, some of them were airborne that day. Sep-13-13    al wazir: For completeness (or "closure," if you prefer) I will post the answers I originally had in mind to my pop music pop quiz. As already noted, some of them are not unique. 1. The Beatles' "Yesterday." 2. "Oh My Darling, Clementine." 3. (a) "Daisy Belle," computer generated. (b) The tune was *not* Disney's "Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf." It was the same as that of the nursery rhymes "This is the way we wash our clothes, wash our clothes," "Here we go round the mulberry bush, the mulberry bush," etc., and it was sung by Richard Burton. (c) "My Idaho Home," sung by Ronee Blakley. (The only good song in the movie, IMO.) (d) Howard Shore. (It was much too loud; it drowned out the dialog, especially Gollum's. I hated it.) 4. (a) _Annie Get Your Gun_. (b) _Little Johnny Jones_. (I hear you saying "Huh?") (c) _Gold Diggers of 1935_, a musical *film*. (I had thought it was a B'way show. My mistake.) (d) _Kiss Me Kate_. 5. (A) Roberta Joan Anderson/(d) Joanie Mtchell; (B) Anna Mae Bullock/(e) Tina Turner; (C) Eleanora Fagan/(c) Billie Holliday; (D) Frances Ethel Gumm/ (b) Judy Garland; (E) Ruth Lee Jones/(f) Dinah Washington; (F) Freda Josephine McDonald/(a) Josephine Baker. Sep-14-13    talisman: Babe Ruth. Albert Belle. 50 H.Rs and 40 doubles in one season... Now there is one more...who is he?? Sep-14-13    PinnedPiece: <talisman: Babe Ruth. Albert Belle. 50 H.Rs and 40 doubles in one season... Now there is one more...who is he??> If anyone here was interested in following Baltimore, maybe you would get an answer! Baseball stats of course could make up years of puzzlers. How about this one: Which MLB player holds the most asterisk-decorated records? https://www.facebook.com/Asteriskin... . Sep-14-13    Jim Bartle: Just saw the answer. Just happened this year. (I'd guessed Brady Anderson after PiPi's hit, but he only had 37 doubles.) Sep-14-13    Jim Bartle: Just saw the answer.
