<mask> Hassinizadeh was born in the city of Toyserkan in the west of Iran. His father was a teacher at a local school. When nine years old, his family moved to the city of Ilam in the Kurdish western part of Iran. Eight years later, they moved to the city of Karaj (near Tehran) where he finished his last year of high school. Throughout the secondary school, he was the first-ranking student. He went on to study civil engineering at Pahlavi University in Shiraz. He focused on optional courses dealing with water, "partly because of the poetic value of water in Iran", he has said.After his graduation, he was offered a scholarship at Princeton University. During his studies at Princeton he became very active in the protests against the Shah regime in Iran. This earned him the nickname 'the phantom' during his fourth year because he was hardly seen at his desk, but left traces of study all the same. After he obtained his PhD in 1979, he had the opportunity to stay and work in US. However, the Iranian Revolution had just started in Iran and, like 95% of the Iranian population, he supported Khomeini. So he decided to return to Iran. He was bitterly disappointed.After about half a year, the new regime launched the so-called "cultural revolution", closed all universities, and encouraged all students and teachers to work in industry or agriculture. While working at a consulting company on drainage and irrigation projects, <mask> learned about a post-graduate course in hydraulic engineering at IHE Institute in Delft, the Netherlands. He managed to obtain an exit visa through contacts of his employer and left for the Netherlands. After finishing the course, he was offered a research position at the Netherlands National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM). He and his wife had originally planned to return to Iran, but he was now offered the chance to stay in science. Although torn, he decided to stay in the Netherlands, where he lives till today.

Following his sophomore season, Beagle chose to leave college and pursue a career playing professional hockey. He also explained that he was "struggling in school a little bit to juggle hockey with school and weight training." His father Al began calling ECHL teams urging them to try out his son. He eventually earned a tryout with the Idaho Steelheads for the 2006–07 season. Beagle played eight games with the team to conclude their regular season and helped them make their Kelly Cup run.While playing in Las Vegas during the playoffs, Beagle met Steve Richmond, Washington Capitals’ director of player development, who offered him a tryout at their development camp.

By December, Beagle was tied for fourth in the league in rookie goal scoring with nine. He later praised the coaching of Bruce Boudreau for his increased offensive ability during the season, saying "[h]e pushed me hard and made sure he got 100% out of me every practice and every game." Beagle subsequently signed a two-year entry-level contract with the Capitals for the 2008–09 season.Following the signing, Beagle attended the Capitals summer camp and training camp prior to the 2008–09 season. He competed with the Capitals during their pre-season game, playing alongside Oskar Osala and Andrew Gordon. In his pre-season debut, Beagle played 16:11 minutes and had one shot on goal.

title: Allen Drury

texts:
<mask> (September 2, 1918 – September 2, 1998) was an American novelist. During World War II, he was a reporter in the Senate, closely observing Presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry S. Truman, among others. He would convert these experiences into his first novel Advise and Consent, for which he won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1960. Long afterwards, it was still being praised as ‘the definitive Washington tale’. His diaries from this period were published as A Senate Journal 1943-45. Early life and ancestry
<mask> was born on September 2, 1918, in Houston, Texas, to <mask> (1895-1975), a citrus industry manager, real estate broker, and insurance agent, and <mask> (1894-1973), a legislative representative for the California Parent-Teacher Association. The family moved to Whittier, California, where Alden and Flora had a daughter, Anne Elizabeth (1924-1998).Drury was a direct descendant of <mask> (1616-1689) and Lydia Rice (1627-1675), daughter of Edmund Rice (1594-1663), all of whom were early immigrants to Massachusetts Bay Colony. <mask> <mask> grew up in Porterville, California, and earned his B.A. at Stanford University, where he joined Alpha Kappa Lambda,  in 1939. He told Writer's Yearbook that he was "associate editor, wrote a column, and editorials." His last series of novels, written shortly before he died, were inspired by his experiences at Stanford. After graduating from Stanford, <mask> went to work for the Tulare Bee in Porterville in 1940, where he won the Sigma Delta Chi Award for editorial writing from the Society of Professional Journalists. He then moved to Bakersfield and wrote for the Bakersfield Californian, where he "handled what they called county news."<mask> enlisted in the U.S. Army on July 25, 1942, in Los Angeles and trained as an infantry soldier, but was discharged "because of an old back injury." A Senate Journal

In 1943, <mask> moved to Washington. "I went East and wound up in Washington, which fascinated me, and I thought I would get a job for about a year for experience before coming back to the coast. I came back twenty years later, finally." From 1943-45, <mask> worked as the United States Senate correspondent for United Press which, as he wrote, gave him the opportunity "to be of some slight assistance in making my fellow countrymen better acquainted with their Congress and particularly their Senate." He worked as a reporter, but also kept a journal in which he recorded the events of Congress as well as his impressions and views of individual senators and the Senate itself. <mask>'s journal followed the career of Harry S. Truman from junior senator to President of the United States, and also covered "President Franklin D. Roosevelt and his contentious relations with the Senate."The journal was published in 1963 as A Senate Journal 1943-45 after <mask> had experienced great success with his 1959 novel Advise and Consent. After leaving United Press, he free-lanced for a year, writing a column for local papers in the West. "This venture lasted about a year and did not succeed, as it does not for many people." He then moved to Pathfinder Magazine, a general news magazine. From there, he moved to the Washington Evening Star, where he gained a reputation for the quality of his writing. Various pieces from this period were collected in a volume entitled Three Kids in a Cart. Advise and Consent and later works
In 1954 James Reston, the Washington bureau chief of The New York Times, hired <mask>.Russell Baker, hired at about the same time, recalled the circumstances in a remembrance published after <mask>'s death:

In his spare time, <mask> wrote the novel which would become 1959's Advise and Consent. <mask> later wrote a memorandum for his archives at the Hoover Institution in which he gives a full account of how the book came to be written and published. Baker was one of the first people to read the manuscript and describes his initial reluctance and then reaction:

The novel uses several incidents from <mask>'s fifteen years in Washington as pegs for the story, about a controversial nominee for Secretary of State. Addressing the suggestion that the book was a roman à clef, <mask> wrote a very sharply worded preface which was only published in the new edition:

The novel spent 102 weeks on The New York Times Best Seller list. It won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1960. It was adapted into a well-received Broadway play by Loring Mandel, who is known for a highly successful career writing for television. Otto Preminger directed an acclaimed 1962 film starring Henry Fonda.In 2009, Scott Simon of NPR wrote in The Wall Street Journal, "Fifty years after its publication and astounding success ... <mask>'s novel remains the definitive Washington tale." When it was republished, ABC News White House correspondent Jonathan Karl wrote for The Wall Street Journal that it offers "a compelling portrait of American social and political history and even today is well worth reading." With the success of Advise and Consent, <mask> left The New York Times. He became a political correspondent for Reader's Digest, but wrote very little for it. From then on, his only major publications were his books. He followed Advise and Consent with several sequels. A Shade of Difference (1962) is set a year after Advise and Consent, and uses the United Nations as a backdrop for portraying racial tensions in the American South and in Africa.<mask> then turned his attention to the next presidential election after those events with Capable of Honor (1966) and Preserve and Protect (1968). Preserve and Protect had a cliffhanger ending—an assassination in which the victim is not identified. He then wrote two alternative finales based on two different outcomes of the assassination: Come Nineveh, Come Tyre (1973) and The Promise of Joy (1975). The last two books are set in the middle of a full international crisis. In 1971, <mask> published The Throne of Saturn, a political/science fiction novel about the first attempt at sending a crewed mission to Mars in competition with a similar Soviet effort. With the historical novel A God Against the Gods (1976) and its sequel Return to Thebes, Drury explored the reign and fall of Pharaoh Akhenaten of ancient Egypt. The novels are based on extensive reading about the Amarna Period and, in the introduction to A God Against the Gods, he thanks at length the greatest Egyptologist of the time, Cyril Aldred, for his guidance on research.He disagreed with Aldred's view that Akhenaten's religious innovations were accepted by the supplanted religious authorities. <mask> wrote, "I am afraid my own view, conditioned by some years as a political correspondent, is much more cynical concerning the lengths to which human beings, of whatever era, will go in order to get, and keep, power." After the Egypt novels, <mask> returned to Washington in a succession of novels that were only tenuously related. Anna Hastings (1977) is more a novel about journalism than politics. He returned to the Senate in 1979 with Mark Coffin, U.S.S., which was followed by the two-part The Hill of Summer (1981) and The Roads of Earth (1984), though the four books are not a series. <mask> also wrote stand-alone novels, Decision (1983) about the Supreme Court, and Pentagon (1986) and A Thing of State (1995) about the State Department. His career ended with the trilogy of books following the lives of fictional members of his Stanford graduating class: Toward What Bright Glory?(1994), Into What Far Harbor? (1997), and Public Men (1998). John J. Miller wrote that readers are "able to mark through Washington's major institutions with <mask> and his novels ... Television producers who want to develop a show to compete with Netflix's House of Cards would do well to look to <mask>." Advise and Consent was out of print for almost 15 years and it ranked #27 on the 2013 BookFinder.com list of the Top 100 Most Searched for Out of Print Books before WordFire Press reissued it in paperback and e-book format in February 2014. The WordFire edition includes never-before-published essays about the book written by <mask> himself, new appendices, and remembrances by <mask>'s heirs and literary executors Kenneth and Kevin Killiany. WordFire also released Advise and Consent five sequels, and other novels.

Oscar Carl "<mask>" <mask> (October 15, 1894 – January 25, 1962) was an American football player and coach. He played college football at Colgate University was selected as a first-team All-American in 1916 at quarterback. <mask> later played professional football for the Buffalo All-Americans of the American Professional Football Association (APFA)—now known as the National Football League (NFL). He was one of the leading scorers in the 1920 and 1921 APFA seasons. Biography

Colgate University
<mask> was born in Erie, Pennsylvania and attended Colgate University. All-American quarterback
<mask> played quarterback for Colgate from 1914 to 1916. He was considered one of the best forward passers of his era.Following a 1914 game between Syracuse and Colgate, the Syracuse Herald praised <mask>'s passing ability:"Quarterback <mask>, one of tho slipperiest men who has been seen in the Syracuse stadium and a mighty clever general, proved himself to be an expert in throwing the forward pass, his aim being wonderfully accurate. When he raced back five yards and turned, he usually found his man with one quick glance and then heaved the ball to within a few feet of where he was." During <mask>'s time as quarterback at Colgate, the team compiled a record of 23–5–2. He led the 1916 Colgate football team to an 8–1 record as the team outscored its opponents 218–30. Colgate beat strong teams from Illinois (15–3), Syracuse (15–0), and Brown (28–0), but lost a close game against Yale (7–3) in New Haven. At the end of the 1916 season, <mask> was selected as a first-team All-American by Walter Camp, the International News Service, and The Boston Post. One critic wrote the following about the selection of <mask> as the first-team All-American quarterback for 1916:"[A]fter the Colgate-Brown game, a struggle between two of the best football teams of the east, the experting fellow found <mask>, of Colgate, standing out as a brilliant star.<mask> is a field general of admitted ability. He has shown rare judgment in directing his attack in every game in which he appeared this year. He's fast, a good groundgainer both through the line and in the open, and he can boot the ball when called upon to do so, although several other members of his team did their share of toeing the pigskin this year." Nationally syndicated sports writer Tommy Clark chose <mask> not only as his first-team All-American at quarterback, but also named <mask> to act as captain of the All-American team. Clark explained his selection of <mask> as follows:"<mask> of Colgate is selected to play quarter and to act as captain of the All American eleven. He has been a star at Colgate for three seasons. He is an accurate forward paser, and his passing gave Colgate the 13-0 victory over the Army last season.He is a good broken field runner, and his running back of punts has been a feature of several games this year. He feeds his backs in faultless style, the result being that Colgate did not fumble at Yale, only once against Illinois, and that on a direct pass, and not once against Syracuse and Brown. <mask> has played against some of the best quarterbacks of the year, Macomber of Illinois, Smith of Yale and Meehan of Syracuse. None of them outplayed him." All-around athlete in five sports
<mask> was an all-around athlete who competed in five sports for Colgate. In February 1917, The Washington Post ran a feature story on <mask>'s diverse athletic abilities. The Post wrote:"As is the case with most football
men of unusual abilltv, <mask>, of Colgate, all-American quarterback by almost universal choice, is a great all-around athlete.He has won his letter at football, track and basketball and is a hockey and baseball star. However, he is so anxious to overcome this and to make his letter in five sports that he now has reported for the hockey team and will give up track work in the spring in favor of baseball. He is not only a brilliant sprinter, as his football work would indicate, but is also a clever hurdler and can jump 21 feet in the broad jump. Last year in the dual meets he twice was clocked in ten seconds for the 100 and 22 flat for the 220." <mask> has been inducted into the Colgate University Athletics Hall of Honor. Military service and athletic director
<mask> later served in the military during World War I, including service in France. In November 1917, <mask> led the Camp Dix national army football team to a 19–0 win over Camp Devens in a game played in Boston.In the second quarter, <mask> ran 70 yards around right end for a touchdown. A few minutes later, he caught a punt and "sprinted 60 yards for another score." After the war, he worked as an athletic director in the Erie, Pennsylvania school system. Buffalo All-Americans
In August 1920, the National Football League (NFL), known in its first two seasons as the American Professional Football Association (APFA), was formed in Canton, Ohio. <mask> signed on to play for the Buffalo All-Americans. In the 1920 APFA season, the inaugural season of the league, <mask> helped Buffalo to a 9–1–1 record, rotating between quarterback and running back with Tommy Hughitt. <mask> was the league's second leading scorer in 1920.Though individual statistics for the 1920 season are unofficial, historical accounts indicate that <mask> scored 11 touchdowns and either 69 or 71 points. Whether his point total was 69 or 71, <mask>'s scoring in 1920 exceeded the total scoring of at least four teams—the Detroit Heralds (53), Chicago Tigers (49), Columbus Panhandles (41), and Cleveland Tigers (28). The only player with a higher point total than <mask> in the 1920 season was Dutch Sternaman of Decatur. In the 1921 APFA season, Buffalo was again one of the best teams in the league with a record of 9–1–2. That year, <mask> led the league with seven touchdowns and tied for second in scoring with 42 points. Teammate Elmer Oliphant led the league in scoring with 47 points. <mask> suffered a knee injury and played only sparingly in the 1922 NFL season.His last game was a 3–3 tie against the Akron Pros in November 1922. Later years
<mask> retired from football after the 1922 season. <mask> resided in Tonawanda, New York from 1922 until his death in 1962. In 1933, he entered the hardware business with his father-in-law, H. B. Koenig. He became the president of H.B. Koenig, Inc. In his later life, <mask> suffered from emphysema, reportedly the result of smoking and the effect of poisonous gas inhaled in France during World War I.  <mask> died in 1962 at Buffalo General Hospital.He was survived by his wife, the former Mildred K. Koenig and a son, Robert H<mask>. References

<mask> (; born November 17, 1947) is a Canadian politician and a former member of the House of Commons of Canada, representing the Manitoba riding of Dauphin—Swan River—Marquette. <mask> was a member of the Conservative Party of Canada, although he frequently criticized and took positions opposite the party and its leader, Stephen Harper. <mask> ran in the 2015 federal election, noting that he is now a Green Party of Canada member but that he would still run as an independent. He lost significantly. Early life
<mask> was born in Taishan, China, and moved to Manitoba as a child. <mask>'s father and grandfather had emigrated from China to Canada some time previously, but were unable to bring their families with them as a result of provisions in the Chinese Immigration Act of 1923. <mask> accompanied his mother when she fled China in 1953, and subsequently settled with his family in the Manitoba community of Gilbert Plains.Education
<mask> has a Bachelor of Arts from Brandon University and a Bachelor of Education degree from the University of Manitoba. Before entering political life, he worked as a high school teacher and small businessman. <mask> also has a certificate in broadcasting and started a master's degree in education program, although he did not graduate. Political career

Municipal politics
<mask>'s political career started when joined the Board of Directors of the Dauphin First United Church. He was subsequently elected to the Dauphin town council in 1991, and became the town's mayor in 1994. Federal politics

<mask> was first elected to the House of Commons in the federal election of 1997, running as a candidate of the Reform Party in the riding of Dauphin—Swan River. From 1997 to 2000, <mask> was one of only three Chinese-Canadian MPs in the House of Commons.The Reform Party dissolved itself in 2000 in favour of the Canadian Alliance, and <mask> ran as a candidate of the new party in the federal election which followed. On September 12, 2001, <mask> left the Canadian Alliance caucus to sit as a member of the Democratic Representative Caucus, in alliance with the Progressive Conservative Party. The DRC came to an end on April 10, 2002, when Stephen Harper replaced Day as Canadian Alliance leader. Every other member of the DRC requested to be re-admitted to the Alliance; <mask> did not join them, but instead decided to sit as an "Independent Conservative", with the intention of rejoining the Progressive Conservatives at their annual party convention later in the year; he had been a Progressive Conservative before the early 1990s. <mask> formally joined the Progressive Conservatives on August 27, 2002. In December 2003, the Canadian Alliance and Progressive Conservative Party formally merged to create the new Conservative Party of Canada. <mask> supported the merger, and formally joined the new party's caucus on February 2, 2004.<mask> was easily re-elected in the Canadian federal election of 2004. In 2005, <mask> alleged that Treasury Board President and Liberal MP Reg Alcock offered him an ambassadorship if he were to resign his seat. Alcock responded by saying, "Frankly, if I was going to recruit somebody, I'd go a little higher up the gene pool." <mask> called this comment racist and filed a complaint with the Canadian Human Rights Commission. As the CHRC does not publish its investigations, it is not possible to know the outcome of this case. Criticism and complaints
While a sitting MP, <mask> gained a reputation as "an outsider" within the Conservative caucus. <mask> is and has been an outspoken critic of Prime Minister Stephen Harper, the Prime Minister's Office, and several sitting and former Conservative MPs.He frequently complained that Harper was controlling, and he responded by refusing to attend Conservative events. <mask> has called Harper a "fascist" and complained that he runs a "top-down dictatorship". He says that the Central Intelligence Agency is controlled by the United States' Republican Party, and that the Republican Party installed Stephen Harper as the Canadian Prime Minister in order to sell out Canada to the United States. Following the announcement of his resignation, <mask> complained that the nomination race for his successor was rigged, and allowed Robert Sopuck to be acclaimed without competition. Following his resignation as an MP, <mask> stepped up his criticisms of the Harper government. He complained that the nomination race for the Conservative candidate following the resignation of Labrador MP Peter Penashue was rigged because Harper "wants a candidate he can control". He also complained that the nomination race to replace Merv Tweed was rigged, and that the eventual successor, Larry Maguire, was just a "rubber stamp" for Harper.<mask> was featured prominently in the book Tragedy in the Commons, where almost every chapter quoted <mask>'s complaints about the way Harper's government was run. <mask> complained that the Conservatives' Constituent Information Management System (CIMS) was a secretive database used to track and control Canadians' information and voting preferences, and said that Harper could simply "switch off" this system to punish an MP. Parliamentary work
For his tenure as an MP, <mask> was always a "backbencher". In 2001, as the Alliance's parliamentary critic for Immigration, <mask> was responsible for expressing his party's position on the Liberal government's Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, which he did during the immigration controversy involving the Sklarzyk family who, as a result of an administrative error, was deported from Canada to Poland in May 2001. He also contributed to the parliamentary committee's work in drafting the final version of the bill, and was generally regarded by MPs from all parties as having made several constructive criticisms to the legislation. However, on June 13, 2001, <mask>'s position on the bill was undercut by Canadian Alliance leader Stockwell Day, who delivered a speech in parliament supporting tighter restrictions against refugee claimants and reduced opportunities for rejected claimants to appeal to the Refugee Board. Day's comments diverged from <mask>'s stated position on several particulars, and his speech was regarded as very surprising by many other MPs in the House of Commons.For example, Liberal MP Steve Mahoney referred to Day's comments as "treachery" towards <mask>, for which he was ruled out of order by the Speaker. In 2005, <mask>'s private members' Bill C-331 (Internment of Persons of Ukrainian Origin Recognition Act) was passed by the House of Commons and Senate of Canada, eventually resulting in the establishment of the Endowment Council of the Canadian First World War Internment Recognition Fund, supporting educational and commemorative projects recalling Canada's first national internment operations of 1914–1920. Federal resignation and return to municipal politics
<mask> announced in June 2009 that he would be resigning before the next federal election. On August 16, 2010, he announced that he would step down as an MP on September 15 to campaign for another term as mayor of Dauphin. However, he lost to Eric Irwin. Return to federal politics and switch to Green Party of Canada
<mask> announced on November 13, 2014, that he would be running as an independent candidate for the 2015 federal election in Dauphin—Swan River—Neepawa, which includes nearly all of his old riding. <mask> announced that he is now a member of the Green Party of Canada, but would still seek election in 2015 as an independent candidate.<mask> finished a distant fourth behind Sopuck, garnering only eight percent of the vote.

title: Rudolf George Escher

<mask> (8 January 1912 in Amsterdam – 17 March 1980 in De Koog) was a Dutch composer and music theorist. He left compositions for chamber orchestra and orchestra, vocal and one electronic composition. <mask> was also a poet, painter and writer. Biography

Youth
<mask> was born the son of the geologist and mineralogist <mask> and the Swiss Emma Brosy. His father was a son of the engineer <mask> and half-brother of the graphic artist <mask>. At the age of four, <mask> moved with his family to Batavia, Dutch East Indies, where his father worked as a geologist for the Batavian Petroleum Company. His father was a good pianist and he gave the young <mask> piano lessons.Study
In 1922, five years later, they were back in the Netherlands, now in Leiden. <mask> went to the Stedelijk Gymnasium Leiden and continued his piano lessons, now with Bé Hartz. He also played the violin and got harmony lessons. After four years he quit school. At first he could not choose between music, visual arts and letters but in 1929 he decided to become a composer. Next he wanted to go to the conservatoire in Cologne. The Dutch composer Peter van Anrooy advised him to study piano.On second thoughts <mask> went to the Toonkunst Conservatoire in Rotterdam in 1931. Until 1937 he studied the piano as major with the cello as minor. From 1934 to 1937 he also studied composition with Willem Pijper as his teacher. <mask>'s debut was in 1935 with his First piano sonata. He also attracted attention in 1938 with an important essay: Toscanini and Debussy, magic of reality. In this essay his views towards composing are evident. He also wrote a few poems, which were published in Forum.Work
When the Second World War expanded into the Netherlands, many of <mask>'s compositions from his study period were destroyed in the bombing of Rotterdam on 14 May 1940. He also lost his house and all his possessions. During the war <mask> composed Musique pour l'esprit en deuil (1941–43). This work quickly elevated him to be the most important composer in the Netherlands. About the compositions from the war, he wrote: 'My work from this period has got a sort of gravity, a doggedness here and there, which makes it clearly to realize as grown amid disasters. For me, personally, that is the ethical significance of it: they are constructions of the mind, in a time that 'mind' (if you can still call it that way) is used almost exclusively for destructive purposes.’

Soon after the war <mask> was a contributor about visual arts and music for the weekly Groene Amsterdammer. He turned out to be a talented poet, publishing poetry in literary magazines into the 1950s.Socially he had little to complain about; he was offered several administrative functions, his compositions were successfully performed, and his publications were followed with interest. After 1946 <mask> befriended the Dutch composer Matthijs Vermeulen. They shared the same social and literary interests and communist ideals. They had enough trust in each other so that they could write critically about the others' compositions. <mask>'s communist ideals were expressed in his membership of the Communist Party (from 1934 to 1940). He wrote a few critiques for the monthly communist periodical Politics and Culture, using the pseudonym A. Leuvens. During the 1950s he became critical of Russian communism, which he considered a failure.What remained was his leftist political orientation. In 1958 <mask> was present at the 32nd ISCM festival in Strasbourg. About this he wrote reviews to his friend and composer-colleague Peter Schat. In 1960 he was present at the ISCM festival in Cologne. Here he got excited about Pli selon pli of Pierre Boulez. Thus <mask> began experimenting with electronic music and serialism in the 1960s. He took lessons in the technique of electronic music with lectures in elementary sound mechanics, electro-physics and sound technology in Delft.Afterwards he experimented in the Studio for Electronic Music in Delft and then at the Institute of Sonology in Utrecht. He decided to ask for analysis classes with Boulez, with reference to the piece he heard in Cologne. From 3 to 7 November 1960 he visited Boulez in Baden-Baden. Those days were spent on analyzing Improvisations sur Mallarmé I & II of Boulez. At last <mask> concluded that the techniques did not feel right for him. Nevertheless, in his Wind Quintet from 1967 serial music can be found. He uses structure formulas that remind a listener of Boulez.His visit led a few weeks later to a purification of his works: He wrote a request to the director of the publisher Donemus to remove four works unconditionally and three with some restrictions. In 1960–61 <mask> gave lessons at the Conservatoire of Amsterdam. He used his experience with Boulez to give a lecture on "the meaning of structure and form by Debussy with reference to recent serial composition techniques by Boulez." He became Scientific Senior Lecturer at the Institute for Musicology at the University of Utrecht from 1964 to 1977. His specialization was 'Aspects of the twentieth century'. He gave a lecture "characteristic structure- and form criteria in the music of the twentieth century." Besides music theory he also explored the world of music as a semantic sign system and Audiology.Legacy
<mask> died at the age of 68 in De Koog on the Frisian Island Texel. In 1980 his friends and experts united to create the Escher Committee. Among others involved were Willem Boogman, Elmer Schönberger and Dirk Jacob Hamoen. With the help of the committee the widow of the composer compiled a catalog with comments of <mask>'s works. In 1992 the Centrum Nederlandse Muziek published correspondence between <mask> and the composer Peter Schat, 33 letters and postcards written between 13 May 1958 and 5 August 1961. In the letters they talked about compositions of others as well as their own, and they discussed issues in aesthetics and music theory. The letters give insight to Dutch history, aesthetics, and theory of the 20th-century music, from the inception to the reception of serialism.In the year of the publication of the correspondence Peter Schat published a letter to the dead <mask>. In the letter Schat described the process of change that was happening in that time. He also notified <mask> about the existing state of affairs in the Netherlands. In 1999 David Moore wrote that <mask> is one of the most prominent Dutch composers of the previous generation. Leo Samama was also laudatory when we mentioned <mask>'s work: "Together with the 'Sinfonia per dieci strumenti' (1973/75), the 'Flute sonata' (1976/79) and the 'Trio for clarinet, viola and piano' (1978/79), the 'Wind Quintet' belongs to the works of a master – one of the few our country has known - of an artist that has developed such a personal language, a personal grammar, a personal sound, that every statement about French or German influences, about old or new music, about place and time are futile and meaningless." There is a foundation named after <mask> for young composers. Since 2006 the foundation is in the management at the Prins Bernard Culture Foundation.The Rudolf Escher Composers Foundation supports young composers financially to follow a study in the Netherlands or abroad. It also supports projects where the work of a young (Dutch) composers is being performed and of concerts where works of <mask> are being performed. The foundation is funded by the board of the Rudolf Escher Committee and the inheritance of <mask>. Prizes
<mask> received several prizes for his compositions during his live. In 1946 he got the Music prize of the city of Amsterdam for his orchestral work Musique pour l'esprit en deuil, yet before the first performance sounded. One year later he received the Dutch Government Prize for the suite for piano Arcana. He also received the Music price of the city of Amsterdam for Le vrai visage de la paix for choir a cappella.For Le tombeau de Ravel he got the Prof. Van der Leeuw Prize in 1959. Twice he could receive the Visser-Neerlandia Prize, for Nostalgies (1961) and the Wind Quintet (1968). Between these prizes he got the Willem Pijper Prize in 1966 for the Sonata concertante for cello and piano. Eventually <mask> received the Johan Wagenaar Prize in 1977 for all his works. Works

<mask> (January 13, 1885 – August 5, 1964) was a Canadian professional ice hockey player and executive from 1905 until 1954. Regarded as one of the best defenders of his era by his peers, he was one of the first to skate with the puck up the ice rather than pass it to a forward. He was on Stanley Cup championship teams twice in a playing career that lasted thirteen seasons; in January 1907 with the Kenora Thistles and 1908 with the Montreal Wanderers. Like other players of the time, <mask> played for several different teams and leagues, and is most notable for his time with the Wanderers while they were members of the National Hockey Association (NHA) and its successor, the National Hockey League (NHL). In 1911 he led one of the first organized player strikes over increased pay. When the Wanderers' home arena burned down in January 1918, the team ceased operations and <mask> retired as a player. After several years as an on-ice official, he was named head coach of the Hamilton Tigers for one season.When the Boston Bruins were formed in 1924, <mask> was hired as the first coach and general manager of the team. He would go on to coach the team on three separate occasions until 1945 and stayed as general manager until his retirement in 1954. <mask> helped the Bruins finish first place in the league ten times and to win the Stanley Cup three times; <mask> personally coached the team to two of those victories. After being hired by the Bruins, <mask>, along with his wife and two sons, moved to a suburb of Boston, and he became an American citizen in 1938. He died near Boston in 1964. Outside of his association with the Bruins, <mask> also helped to improve the game. He created a style of hockey puck still used today, and advocated an improved style of goal nets, a change that lasted forty years.In 1947 <mask> donated the Art Ross Trophy, awarded to the leading scorer of the NHL regular season. <mask> was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1949. Early life
<mask> was born January 13, 1885, in Naughton, Ontario. His father, Thomas Barnston <mask>, was of Scottish descent and originally from Chicoutimi, Quebec, while his mother was Marguerite (Margaret) McLeod. <mask>'s parents initially lived in Lake St. John, Quebec (now Lac Saint-Jean), where Thomas worked for the Hudson's Bay Company (HBC). The family had ten children: nine sons and one daughter. Around 1876 Thomas was transferred to a trading post in Northern Ontario close to the Whitefish Lake.Living in a remote outpost, the family would trek  each way twice a year for supplies. <mask> spent his early years at the trading post, and first learned to skate on the nearby lake. He grew up speaking English, and was taught French by his mother, and later in life claimed he knew Ojibwe and Montagnais. In 1892 the family moved back to Lake St. John, though in 1895 Margaret left Thomas, and moved back to Ontario with her younger children. She married Peter McKenzie, who was the Chief Factor for HBC in the region (and thus Thomas' superior) in 1895. They moved again in 1896, settling in the affluent Westmount district of Montreal. Thomas also re-married, and by 1904 was living in Victoria, British Columbia, where he died in 1930.In Montreal <mask> attended Westmount Academy, and became active in a variety of sports, though he was best at hockey and Canadian football (which was still very similar to rugby football at the time). He likely first played organized hockey in the 1900–01 season, joining the Westmount Amateur Athletic Association. With this club he first met the brothers Lester and Frank Patrick, both of whom were later inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame. <mask> and Lester had a financially successful ticket resale business at the Montreal Arena, buying tickets for thirty-five cents and selling them for up to a dollar. Playing career

1905–09

The best hockey players on their high school team, <mask> and the Patrick brothers were invited to play occasional games for local league teams in Montreal. <mask> first played in a senior league in 1905, joining Montreal Westmount of the Canadian Amateur Hockey League (CAHL), the top amateur league in Canada. He scored ten goals in eight games during the season.His opponents regarded him as one of the best rushing defencemen. Most defenders at the time either shot the puck down the ice or passed to a forward; in contrast, <mask> skated up the ice, taking the puck into the offensive zone. Later that year, wishing to pursue a career in banking, he moved to Brandon, Manitoba, where he joined the Brandon Wheat City Hockey Club of the Manitoba Hockey League, the senior league in the province. In 1906, his first season, he scored six goals in seven games while he recorded six goals in ten games in 1907. Around this time, the Kenora Thistles, the Manitoba League champions, wanted to strengthen their team for the Stanley Cup challenge against the Montreal Wanderers in Montreal during January 1907. They paid <mask> $1,000 to play both matches, a common practice at the time, and the Thistles won the Cup. While failing to score, <mask> started many plays and proved an important part of the team.Although he played for the opposing team, he received a good reception from the Montreal crowd. <mask> did not play for the Thistles when the two teams played for the Cup again in March, which the Wanderers won to take back the Cup. The following year <mask> moved back to Montreal. He joined the Wanderers, the team he had helped to defeat, who played in the Eastern Canada Amateur Hockey Association (ECAHA), the successor league to the CAHL as the premier league in the country. He scored eight goals in ten games over the two-month season that lasted from January to March. He helped the team to finish first in the ECAHA and retain the Cup in 1908 with challenges from Ottawa, Winnipeg and Toronto. The Wanderers were Cup champions throughout these challenges, so <mask> became the second player to win the Cup with different teams in consecutive years, after Jack Marshall in 1901 and 1902.In January 1908, he participated in the first all-star game in sports history, a benefit for the family of former Wanderer defender Hod Stuart, who died the previous summer. Aside from his time with the Wanderers, <mask> repeated his practice of playing for other teams who paid for his services in important matches. For the 1909 season <mask> demanded a salary of $1,600. Although he settled for $1,200, the average salary of hockey players at the time was $600. <mask> received a cash bonus of $400 to play in a Stanley Cup challenge against a team from Edmonton in December 1908, in which the Wanderers won the two-game, total-goal series 13–10. He finished the season with two goals in nine games. 1909–18

A new league, the Canadian Hockey Association (CHA), was formed in late November 1909.One of the teams, the All-Montreal Hockey Club, hired <mask> as a playing-manager, but the league only lasted to mid-January 1910 before disbanding. <mask>, who scored four goals in four games in the CHA, then signed with the Haileybury Comets of the National Hockey Association (NHA), a league formed in December 1909, which proved to be the stronger replacement to the ECAHA as the highest level of hockey in Canada. He received $2,700 to play in the 1910 season, which lasted from January to March, playing twelve games for the team and finishing with six goals. Before the following season, the NHA imposed a salary cap of $5,000 per team. The players, including <mask>, were unhappy as this would result in a pay decrease, and began looking to form their own league without a cap. <mask> wrote to the Montreal Herald, stating "all the players want is a fair deal ... The players are not trying to bulldoze the NHA, but we want to know where we get off at."The plans were abandoned when they realized all the suitable arenas would be unavailable as they were owned or leased by the NHA. <mask> scored four goals in eleven games with the Wanderers, who finished fourth in the five-team league. During a match against the Quebec Bulldogs on February 25, 1911, <mask> knocked out Eddie Oatman in a fight, provoking a massive brawl between the two teams, which the police had to break up. The fight helped to increase the reputation <mask> had as a tough player unwilling to back down from any opponent. The following season <mask> had eleven goals in nineteen games as the Wanderers improved to second in the league. Prior to the 1913–14 NHA season, <mask> refused to sign a contract for the Wanderers, requesting a salary increase. As one of the top players on the team, the Wanderers agreed to his demands of $1,500 for the forthcoming season, in which he finished with four goals and nine points in eighteen games.The next season <mask>, again concerned with his salary, began negotiating with other players in the NHA to leave their teams and form a new league that would offer higher wages. These actions resulted in his suspension in November 1914 by Emmett Quinn, president of the NHA. <mask> responded by declaring himself a free agent and claiming his contract with the Wanderers was no longer valid. Consequently, although having no technical power to do so, Quinn suspended <mask> from all organized hockey. The proposed new league failed to materialize and <mask> applied for reinstatement to the NHA, which was granted at a meeting of the team owners on December 18, 1914. The owners realized if they suspended <mask>, they would also have to suspend all those he signed, hurting the league. However, <mask>'s actions led to his release by the Wanderers.At first he trained with the Montreal Canadiens, then joined the Ottawa Senators. At the conclusion of the 1914–15 season, the Senators and Wanderers finished with identical records of fourteen wins and six losses. A two-game, total goal series was played to determine the NHA league champion who would contest the Stanley Cup with the Pacific Coast Hockey Association winner, the Vancouver Millionaires. <mask>, who finished with three goals in sixteen games in the season, scored one goal in the first match against the Wanderers, a Senators 4–0 victory, and though Ottawa lost the second game 1–0, they won the series, 4–1. To help the Senators stop the Wanderers, who were known for their speed, <mask> created a new system of defence. Termed "kitty bar the door", it required three defenders to align themselves across the ice 30 feet in front of the goaltender to stop offensive rushes. This style of defence would later be used in a modified version known as the neutral zone trap, later used widely to stop opposition offensive chances.The following year <mask>, who had eight goals and eight assists in twenty-one games, was the second highest paid player on the team; his salary of $1,400 was $100 less than Frank Nighbor made. Even so, <mask> left the team in 1916, returning to Montreal in order to look after his sporting-goods store, and rejoining the Wanderers. He scored six goals and had two assists in sixteen games for the team. The Wanderers, along with the Montreal Canadiens, Toronto Arenas, Quebec Bulldogs and Ottawa Senators dissolved the NHA and founded the National Hockey League (NHL) in November 1917. <mask> became coach of the Wanderers and played in the first game in NHL history on December 19, 1917, in which the Wanderers defeated the Toronto Arenas 10–9, in Montreal; <mask> earned the league's first penalty during the game and also scored his first and only NHL goal. A fire on January 2, 1918, destroyed their home, the Montreal Arena, and forced them to fold after four games. However, the NHL insisted the team continue to play, and recorded two additional scheduled matches as defaulted losses for the Wanderers, even though the matches were not played.With the Wanderers disbanded, <mask> retired as a player. His NHL career yielded one goal in three games played. Managerial career

1918–36
<mask> began his career as a hockey coach in the midst of his playing days, when at age 25 he led the McGill University Redmen to a 4–2–1 record

 during the 1910–11 season. In 1915, <mask> was the Coach of The Canadian Grenadier Guards Hockey Club. Following his playing career, <mask> became a NHL referee. He was hired to coach the Hamilton Tigers for the 1922–23 season, and adopted new methods in training camp that emphasized physical fitness, including work off the ice. However, the Tigers finished with a record of six wins and eighteen losses, last in the NHL for the third successive year, and <mask> did not return the next season.His next coaching appointment arose from meeting Boston grocery store magnate Charles Adams during the 1924 Stanley Cup Finals. Before the 1924 season, the NHL awarded Adams an expansion team. Adams' first move was to hire <mask> as vice president, general manager, coach and scout. Adams instructed <mask> to come up with a nickname portraying an untamed animal displaying speed, agility and cunning. With this in mind, <mask> named the team the Boston Bruins, after the Old English word for a bear. The team's nickname went perfectly with the original colours of brown and yellow, which were the same colours of Adams' grocery chain, First National Stores. <mask> utilized his many hockey connections throughout Canada and the United States to sign players.Even so, the team started poorly. Early in the first season the University of Toronto hockey team was in Boston for matches against local universities. The team's manager, Conn Smythe, who later owned and managed the Toronto Maple Leafs, said that his team could easily defeat the Bruins—<mask>'s team had won only two of their first fifteen NHL games. This began a feud between Smythe and <mask> which lasted for over 40 years, until <mask>' death; while mostly confined to newspaper reports, they refused to speak to each other at NHL Board of Governor meetings. The Bruins finished their first season with six wins in thirty games, one of the worst records in the history of the league. Several records were set over the course of the season; the three home wins are tied for the second fewest ever, and an eleven-game losing streak from December 8, 1924, until February 17, 1925, set a record for longest losing streak, surpassed in 2004 and now second longest in history. With 17 wins in 36 games the following season, the team greatly improved, and finished one point out of a playoff spot.In 1926 the Western Hockey League, the other top professional hockey league, was in decline. The Patrick brothers, who controlled the league, offered to sell the remaining five teams for $300,000. <mask> realized the potential talent available and convinced Adams to pay the money. As a result, the Bruins acquired the rights to several future Hall of Fame players, the most notable being defender Eddie Shore. <mask> signed goaltender Cecil "Tiny" Thompson in 1928, who was with a team in Minnesota, despite never watching him play; Ralph "Cooney" Weiland was also brought over from Minnesota. <mask> acquired Cy Denneny from Ottawa and made him a player-assistant-coach while he assumed the role of coach and team manager. On November 20, 1928, the Bruins moved to a new arena when the Boston Garden opened.The team played the Canadiens who won the match 1–0 in front of 16,000 fans. The players signed by <mask> helped the Bruins to improve quickly, and they won the Stanley Cup in 1929. Denneny retired after the Cup win, <mask> guiding the team to several league records in the 1929–30 season. The team won 38 of 44 games for an .875 winning percentage, the highest in league history; the five losses tied a record for fewest ever, and the four road losses tied a record for second fewest. The Bruins also only finished one game in a tie, a record for fewest ties in a season since the NHL began recording the record in 1926. One of the longest winning streaks was also set during the season. From December 3, 1929, until January 9, 1930, the team won fourteen games in a row, a record that lasted until 1982 and now tied for third longest, as of October 2010.A home winning streak began the same day and lasted for twenty games, until March 18, 1930, which was tied for the longest of its kind in 1976. In 1930–31, the Bruins again lost only one home game, which equalled their previous record. On March 26, 1931, <mask> substituted a sixth skater for goaltender Tiny Thompson in the final minute of play in a playoff game against the Montreal Canadiens. Although the Bruins lost the game 1–0, <mask> became the first coach to replace his goaltender with an extra attacker, a tactic which became widespread practice in hockey. Stepping aside as coach in 1934 to focus on managing the team, <mask> hired Frank Patrick as coach with a salary of $10,500, which was high for such a role. However rumours spread during the season that Patrick was drinking heavily and not being as strict with the players as <mask> wanted. After the Bruins lost their playoff series with the Toronto Maple Leafs in the 1936 playoffs, the result of an 8–1 score in the second game, a newspaper claimed that Patrick had been drinking the day of the game and had trouble controlling the team.Several days later, <mask> relieved Patrick of his duties and once again assumed the role of coach. 1936–54

<mask> took over an improved team. He had recently signed three players, Milt Schmidt, Bobby Bauer and Woody Dumart, who all grew up together in Kitchener, Ontario, and had them play on the same line, soon nicknamed the Kraut Line in reference to the German heritage of all three. Along with them, <mask> had acquired a new goaltender in 1938, Frank Brimsek; after Brimsek earned six shutouts in his first eight games, the Bruins traded away Tiny Thompson to allow Brimsek to play. With these players the Bruins finished first in the league in 1937–38; <mask> was named as the second best coach in the league, selected for the end of season All-Star Second Team. The next season the Bruins won 36 of 48 games, and won the Stanley Cup in the playoffs; <mask> was named to the First All-Star Team as the best coach in the league for the season and the team only tied two games, which is tied for the second fewest in a season. He hired the recently retired Cooney Weiland to coach the Bruins for the 1939–40 NHL season.The Bruins would win the Cup again in 1941, and tied their record of only four away losses all season. <mask> once again took over as coach of the team before the 1941–42 season began, as Weiland became coach of the Hershey Bears of the American Hockey League, and led the team to 25 wins in 48 games, which was enough to earn third place in the league. By this time the Second World War had caused several Bruins players, including the entire Kraut Line and goaltender Brimsek, to enlist in their respective armed forces. The Bruins finished second in the NHL during the 1942–43 season with 24 wins in 50 games and <mask> was again named in the Second NHL All-Star Team as second best coach in the league. The Bruins missed the playoffs in 1943–44, the first time in ten years they failed to qualify, but returned to the playoffs the next season, something they did for five straight years. On November 11, 1943, <mask> became the first NHL coach to pull the goaltender for an extra attacker when he pulled goaltender Bert Gardiner for an extra attacker to go for the tie against the Chicago Blackhawks. Clint Smith score the first empty-net goal in NHL history and the Bruins lost 6–4.In 1949, <mask> had signed Georges Boucher as coach, but Boucher did not work well with <mask> and team president Weston Adams. Looking to hire a new coach in the summer of 1950, <mask> phoned Lynn Patrick, the son of Lester, who had just resigned from the New York Rangers after coaching the team to the Stanley Cup Final. Lynn had moved his family back to Victoria, British Columbia, where he grew up as a child, with the intention of coaching the Victoria Cougars, a team in the minor professional Pacific Coast Hockey League. Though reluctant to move back to the eastern United States, Lynn was hired by <mask> after he was offered a salary of $12,000. He would coach the team for the next four seasons and become the second general manager of the Bruins when <mask> retired at the end of October 1954. Legacy
Aside from his career in hockey, <mask> was interested in improving the game. Prior to the start of the 1927–28 season, the NHL adopted a new style of goal net created by <mask>.With the back molded into a B-shape, it was better designed to catch pucks and the net was used until 1984, when a modified version was adopted. He also improved the design of the puck. <mask>' design had bevel edges, which prevented it bouncing too much, and used synthetic rubber, rather than the natural rubber previously in vogue. Along with New York Rangers coach Frank Boucher, <mask> helped to create the red line, which was introduced to help speed up the game by removing the ability for defenders to pass the puck from the defensive to offensive zone; until 2006 it was against the rules of hockey to make a two-line pass. More scoring chances resulted as teams could not simply send the puck down the ice with impunity. In order to help tell the red line and blue lines apart on television, <mask> suggested that the red line be striped. Regarded throughout his playing career as one of the best defenders in hockey, <mask> was named to the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1949, selected for his playing career rather than his work as an executive.A ceremony for his induction was held prior to a Bruins game on December 2, 1949, where he was given his Hall of Fame scroll and a silver tray with the emblems of the six NHL teams on it. In 1975 he was inducted into the Canadian Sports Hall of Fame. Along with his two sons he donated the Art Ross Trophy to the NHL in 1947, to be awarded to the leading scorer in the league's regular season. In 1984 he was posthumously awarded the Lester Patrick Trophy for service to hockey in the United States. Personal life
After graduating from high school in 1903, <mask> began working at Merchants Bank, and occasionally played for their hockey team. When he moved to <mask> transferred to a local branch. In 1906 <mask> resigned from the bank, and instead joined the Wheat City Flour Mills Company.<mask> opened a sporting goods store in Montreal, Art Ross & Co. in 1908, and would run that for several decades. In 1928, he served as the traveling secretary of the Boston Braves baseball team, which was owned by Bruins owner Charles Adams. On April 14, 1915 <mask> married Muriel Kay, a native of Montreal; they had two sons, <mask>, Jr. and John. During the Second World War, both sons served in the Royal Canadian Air Force. After the war <mask> made his son <mask> the business manager for the Bruins. <mask> was named coach and manager of the Boston Bruins in 1924 and moved his family to Brookline, Massachusetts, a suburb of Boston, after being hired. He became a naturalized American citizen on April 22, 1938.On August 5, 1964, <mask> died at a nursing home in Medford, Massachusetts, a suburb of Boston, at the age of 79. A sister, both his sons, and three grandchildren survived him. Career statistics
