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.

ARCHIVED POSTS < Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 213 OF 277 ·  Later Kibitzing> Sep-24-13    al wazir: <PinnedPiece: Quick--is there any example in nature where the left arm or right arm is quite obviously the stronger of the two?> I thought of crabs, but not specifically of fiddler crabs. Do I get part credit? I recall reading that in jai alai players the arm the cesta is strapped to is conspicuously more muscular than the other; but wikipedia doesn't mention it (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jai_alai) and I can't confirm it from my own observations, though I went to a jai alai match once in Tijuana. I didn't find it all that fascinating. Jai alai is like horse racing: if it weren't for the betting no one would bother. Sep-24-13    Abdel Irada: <IIRC, about 30 years ago, someone proposed that a way to test your dominant hand was to make a Vulcan Salute with each. The one with the larger gap was your dominant hand.> According to this test, I am unequivocally left-handed, so I feel a bit doubtful of its validity. ∞ Sep-24-13    johnlspouge: < <al wazir> wrote: [snip] I recall reading that in jai alai players the arm the cesta is strapped to is conspicuously more muscular than the other; but wikipedia doesn't mention it (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jai_alai) and I can't confirm it from my own observations, though I went to a jai alai match once in Tijuana. > I once had a girlfriend who was a provincial tennis champion. Her right hand was "conspicuously more muscular than the other". We referred to it affectionately as "the claw", and I made sure I only ever held her left hand. She had a twin sister who ranked 3rd in tennis in the province. I do not recall whether the sister was left-handed, so I cannot comment upon "right-left handedness [varying] by subspecies". Sep-24-13    Domdaniel: Is manly dexterity opposed to <womanly sinistrality>? Do chopsticks have left/right symmetry? Where can I get an enantiomorphic fork? Other than on a chessboard... Sep-24-13    Domdaniel: <Abdel Irada> Yes, perhaps that 'textuality' line was a bit *gauche*... Sep-24-13    Abdel Irada: <Domdaniel: <Abdel Irada> Yes, perhaps that 'textuality' line was a bit *gauche*...> As my Egyptian friend might say, "Yasir!" :-) ∞ Sep-24-13    Domdaniel: <Abdel Irada> -- <Yasir!> -- Arapaho Chief Niwot would approve... as would <ciotogs> everywhere... Sep-25-13    Abdel Irada: Okay, <ciotogs> I have never yet heard. Is that Arapaho for left-handed? (For those who didn't know, incidentally, "yasir" is Arabic for "left"; its antonym is "yamin," whence the name of the country to the "right" of Saudi Arabia as one looks at it from the Red Sea, Yemen.) ∞ Sep-25-13    PinnedPiece: <AI: [ciotogs] Is that Arapaho for left-handed?> OK this was funny. . Sep-25-13    Abdel Irada: Having looked it up, I now see that I had the right meaning but the wrong etymology; <ciotogs> is Gaelic for someone left-handed (or "strange," but there goes that old dextrocentrism again). ∞ Sep-26-13    perfidious: Just call me <ciotogs>, I guess: I pitched left-handed and some might consider me strange. Sep-26-13    HeMateMe: They're still bringing knives to baseball games, in Los Angeles. The gangbanger mentality. <http://tracking.si.com/2013/09/26/d...> Sep-26-13    HeMateMe: The 20 fattest players in MLB: <http://tracking.si.com/2013/09/26/d...> Sep-26-13    Jim Bartle: Hate to have to correct you, but that was in San Francisco. Sep-29-13    Abdel Irada: <HeMateMe: The 20 fattest players in MLB: <*ttp://tracking.si.com/2013/09/26/d...>> Your link is identical to the one for the stabbing story in your previous post. Incidentally, I surmise that this incident was in reprisal for one, not long ago, in which a Giants fan was beaten into a coma in the Dodgers parking lot after a game. If this is true, I think some people take their sports affiliations a little too seriously. ∞ Sep-30-13    Tiggler: <PinnedPiece: Left-Right handedness. Quick--is there any example in nature where the left arm or right arm is quite obviously the stronger of the two?> The most spectacular example of handedness in biology is the chirality of DNA and proteins. In physics, the most commonplace example is the chirality of the magnetic field induced by an electric current. (Hence, Fleming's Left Hand Rule). The latter is also related to cosmology: if antimatter were predominant in the universe, the chirality of fields and current would be opposite, so matter and and antimatter can be seen as chiral enatiomorphs. The predominance of matter, and of right-handed DNA, are usually explained as arising from a bifurcation, similar to the subject that <al Wazir> and <Abdel Irada> were discussing in the context of symmetry breaking. Sep-30-13    Abdel Irada: <Tiggler>, thank you for calling enantiomorphs to my attention. This led directly to a look at Möbius strips (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C3%B...), which turn out to have far more unique properties than I'd suspected. ∞ Sep-30-13    Tiggler: <Abdel Irada> Glad you could find it, despite my misspelling. Sep-30-13    Abdel Irada: <Tiggler>: Fortunately, Google is omniscient. (Often wrong, but omniscient.) ∞ Oct-02-13    PinnedPiece: === Right-Left handedness === I crack sunflower seeds with the right side molars. I swing my belt around counterclockwise so that I pull it tight with my right hand. I wear a watch on my left* wrist. I clean my glasses with my right hand. I hold a phone in my left hand until I have a chance to put it on speakerphone. I put the extra extended monitor on the right side of the "primary monitor." My right shoulder needs an operation. I can no longer pitch the fastball. -- --- ---- --- --- ---- * Wearing a watch is increasingly an anachronism. Recently (on a flight back from the middle east on Lufthansa) I watched "The Internship" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_In... which plot line featured watch salesmen peddling their dinosaur technology and getting laid off. They became Google interns. Its a comedy. We all use our cell phones to track time nowadays. . Oct-03-13    Sneaky: Don't know if any of you are fans of the show "Sherlock" from the BBC? Anyhow, check out this GIF and notice how Sherlock deduces that the man is right-handed: http://i.imgur.com/58GCRGc.gif Oct-06-13    HeMateMe: Chess is complicated enough, but why are baseball leaders called Managers, instead of coaches? Oct-06-13    al wazir: <HeMateMe: Chess is complicated enough, but why are baseball leaders called Managers, instead of coaches?> Soccer coaches are called managers too, at least in the U.K. Oct-07-13    Abdel Irada: Apropos of <Sneaky>'s GIF, I don't necessarily agree with all of the "deductions," although I do with most. 1) "Manicured" is a direct observation of fact. 2) "Unarmed" relies on looking at one of multiple possible locations for a gun. I wouldn't bet my life that there isn't one somewhere else on the subject. 3) "Office worker" seems obscure to me. Maybe I'm missing something: What about the subject's forehead tells Holmes that? Also, what ever became of Basil Rathbone? I'm not used to seeing Holmes wearing this other face. ∞ Oct-07-13    Abdel Irada: <We all use our cell phones to track time nowadays.> Not *quite* all. :-S ∞ Jump to page #    (enter # from 1 to 277) search thread:    ARCHIVED POSTS < Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 213 OF 277 ·  Later Kibitzing>
