# Josef Forster (composer)

Josef Forster (20 January 1838, Trofaiach - 23 March 1917, Vienna) was an Austrian composer; known primarily for his operas and operettas.

## Biography

He was one of ten children born to Jakob Forster, an organist, and his wife Klara, the daughter of a choirmaster. After beginning his musical training at home, he became a choir boy at Admont Abbey, where he received further instruction from their organist, Franz Traunbauer (1775-1864). In 1854, he enrolled in the teacher training institute in Graz; followed by technical studies at the Joanneum (now the Graz University of Technology). It was during this time that he made his first attempts at composition; now lost. In 1865, he went to Vienna to study architecture, but soon gave up. To support himself, he worked as a private teacher. Forster also devised inventions which were not successful. He was, however, awarded several patents for optical devices, guns and engines.
With the support of Eduard Hanslick and Felix Otto Dessoff, he made his debut as a composer with two string quartets and a Symphony in c minor, performed in 1871 by the Vienna Philharmonic with Dessoff conducting. During the 1870s and 1880s, he premiered numerous operettas and ballets; notably The Assassins, inspired by a poem by Archduke Johann Salvator, who responded by giving Forster the Tuscan Knight's Cross for civil merit. Despite this, an application to be the Kapellmeister at the Burgtheater was not accepted.
His only major success was the one-act opera, The Rose of Pontevedra (1893), for which he received a first prize from the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. It is considered one of the few quality verismo style operas in German and was performed regularly until 1914. His later works never became as popular. Der dot Mon (1902), based on a Fastnachtsspiel [de] (burlesque) by Hans Sachs, failed, even though it received good reviews and was premiered at the Vienna State Opera with its director, Gustav Mahler, conducting.
In his later years, he developed an interest in mathematics and mistakenly believed that he had solved Fermat's Last Theorem. This resulted in a continuing argument with the committee in charge of awarding the Wolfskehl-Preis [de]; worth 100,000 Goldmarks to anyone who could prove they had found a solution. His efforts were, predictably, futile. He died forgotten and poverty-stricken in 1917. Of his works, only a brief excerpt from Der dot Mon was ever recorded (in 1902, by the soprano, Margarete Michalek).
# Bupyeong, Incheon

Bupyeong (Korean: 부평; Hanja: 富平) is an area surrounding Bupyeong District, Gyeyang District, Seo District, part of Bucheon and Guro District, Seoul. Until 1914, Bupyeong was a separate county independent to Incheon.
# Neil Robinson (footballer, born 1979)

Neil David Robinson (born 18 November 1979) is an English former professional footballer. He is the son of former professional footballer Neil Robinson.

## Career
### Prescot Cables

Starting his career at Prescot Cables, Neil quickly impressed, scoring 43 goals for the Northern Premier League side in just one season, leading to interest from league clubs.

### Macclesfield Town

Robinson was signed up by David Moss for Macclesfield Town, for a fee of £12,000, but his stay at Moss Rose was to be hampered by injury, and he was loaned out to Leigh RMI and Southport, and he impressed in the latter.

### Southport F.C.

Liam Watson was quick to secure a permanent deal for Robinson, and he played a major part in getting the club in an entry position for the newly created Conference North, scoring 15 goals in just 15 games in his first season with Southport in the Unibond Premier Division.
Next season Robinson was to play a smaller role, with Steve Daly and Terry Fearns ahead of him in the pecking order, but he still played a part, and was a member of the 2004/2005 Conference North winning Southport team.
After helping keep Southport in the Conference National in the 2005/2006 season, much of the relegation survival squad left unable to make the transition to full-time, including Robinson.
Robinson was to become a cult hero, and fan favourite at Southport with his important goals, his fondness with the fans, and for his famous mullet hair style.

### Burscough FC

Neil followed ex-Southport manager, Liam Watson to Burscough, in the Unibond Premier, in a deal involving Kevin Leadbetter and Neil Fitzhenry, with Tony Gray heading the opposite way to Haig Avenue.
Here, Robinson was a pivotal player in Burscough's treble winning season, which saw them promoted to the Conference North.

### Back to Southport

In October 2007, Robinson rejoined Southport, for an undisclosed fee, after Peter Davenport has reportedly been impressed with him. He signed a full-time contract with the Sandgrounders. After his first season back with the 'port, and 6 league goals for the club, it appeared Robinson would be moving on, after the club accepted a bid from fellow Conference North club Droyslden. However, he rejected a contract at "the bloods", to stay at Southport and fight for his place.

### Skelmersdale United F.C.

In February 2009, Robinson was released from Southport and duly signed for Skelmersdale United.

# Burfjord

Burfjord (Norwegian), Burovuonna (Northern Sami), or Puruvuono (Kven) is a village in Kvænangen Municipality in Troms county, Norway. The village is the administrative centre of the municipality, thus it is where the municipal offices are located and where the municipal council meets. The 0.59-square-kilometre (150-acre) village has a population (2023) of 390 and a population density of 661 inhabitants per square kilometre (1,710/sq mi).
The services of Burfjord include a bank, a post office, a gas station, a medical office, a nursing home, a dentist, a primary school, grocery shops, and Burfjord Church. Burfjord's residents are composed of a mix of indigenous Sami people, Kven people, and ethnic Norwegians. Sami tourist shops selling handicrafts are located all around the village.

## Geography

Burfjord lies on the northern border of Troms County, along the busy European route E6 highway that winds its way through this part of Northern Norway. The village is located at the end of the Burfjorden, an arm of the Kvænangen fjord. It is about 50 km (31 mi) straight west of the town of Alta and the Alta Airport.

## History

Burfjord's growth as a town is relatively recent. Prior to 1500, the Kvænangen region was almost entirely inhabited by indigenous Sami peoples, who at some point left the traditional nomadic life of reindeer herding atop the mountain plateau and settled to fish and farm as sjøsame (sea-Sami). The first scouts northward from Trondheim found no southern Norwegians living in or around the area. During the early 18th century, Burfjord and the larger Kvænangen region became inhabited by Norwegians from the south who plied their trade fishing and farming, as well by the Kven people and Finns who emigrated from the east. Despite the Kvæns remaining a minority, population-wise, they nevertheless gave Kvænangen its namesake. Kvænangen was originally part of the Skjærvøy parish in northern Troms county. Kvænangen became a separate sub-parish in 1861. It was in the 19th century that Burfjord grew in size and became a more urban village area. Due to its geographically central location, it was chosen as the administrative centre of Kvæanangen Municipality.

# Gustavus Esselen

Gustavus John Esselen (1888–1952) was an American chemist notable for his work with anhydride curing agent development and improving polyvinyl butyral for commercialized laminated glass. During his career, he was part of the American Chemical Society (ACS) for 43 years, serving in roles including chairman of the Northeastern Section and councilor and direction of the national organization. He was also chairman of the American Section of the Society of Chemical Industry between 1919 and 1951.

## Biography

Born in Roxbury, Boston, Massachusetts, Esselen studied at Harvard University where he was awarded the A.B. (magna cum laude) in chemistry in 1909 and a doctorate in 1912. Until 1921 he was a member of the research staff of General Electric and then of Arthur D. Little. There with Little and Wallace Murray he contrived to make a 'silk' purse from reconstituted collagen extracted from a sow's ear. In 1930 he founded Gustavus J. Esselen, Inc., which, following a merger, became Esselen Research Division of United States Testing Co., Inc.
Among the successful projects for industrial clients he was involved with was the development of anhydride curing agents for epoxy resins and polyvinyl butyral as an improved material for the subsequent commercialization of laminated glass for use in vehicles etc. More than 40 U.S. patents were issued as a result of his research efforts.
Esselen was a member of the American Chemical Society for 43 years, twice chairman of the Northeastern Section (1922–23) and served as councilor and director of the national organization. From 1919 to 1951 he was chairman of the American Section of the Society of Chemical Industry. Prior to World War II he was a reserve officer in the U.S. Army's Chemical Warfare Service.

# Géza Ottlik

Géza Ottlik (9 May 1912 – 9 October 1990) was a Hungarian writer, translator, mathematician, and bridge theorist. According to an American obituary bridge column, he was known in Hungary as "the ultimate authority on Hungarian prose".

## Biography

Ottlik was born and died in Budapest. He attended the military school at Kőszeg and Budapest, and studied mathematics and physics at Budapest University 1931–1935. After a brief career on Hungarian radio, he was a secretary of Hungarian PEN Club from 1945 to 1957. As he was unable to publish his works for political reasons, he earned his living translating. He translated mainly from English (Charles Dickens, George Bernard Shaw, John Osborne, Evelyn Waugh); and German (Thomas Mann, G. Keller, Stefan Zweig).
He was a passionate bridge player and advanced theoretician. In a bridge column three months after Ottlik's death, Alan Truscott placed him "among the strongest candidates" for "the bridge writer with the greatest creativity in terms of card-play theory". His 1979 book Adventures in Card Play, written with Hugh Kelsey, introduced and developed many new concepts (such as Backwash squeeze and Entry-shifting squeeze). According to Truscott it "opened new frontiers" in defence as well as declarer play. In his 1995 obituary of Kelsey, Truscott wrote that it "broke new ground in many technical areas and is still considered the most advanced book on the play of the cards." An American survey of bridge experts in 2007 ranked it third on a list of their all-time favourites, nearly thirty years after its first publication.
From October 1944 to February 1945, Ottlik and his wife Gyöngyi Debreczeni hid the writer István Vas [hu], a Jew, in their apartment and shared their food rations with him. Géza personally intervened to obtain the release of Vas' mother from arrest; if he had not done so, she would have been sent on a death march towards Germany. Gyöngyi faced down a group of Arrow Cross Party members who had broken into the apartment to search for the Jew allegedly hiding there; they left without discovering Vas, who survived World War II. For this, the couple were honoured on 4 June 1998 by Yad Vashem as people Righteous Among the Nations.
