# Congyu Wang

Congyu Wang (Chinese: 王聪瑀} (born 7 January 1992) is a Singaporean concert pianist based in Réunion, France. He is also the founder and artistic director of Piano Island Festival and Piano Concerto Festival. In 2022, Wang achieved the distinction of becoming a Steinway Artist.

## Early life

Wang was born in 1992, in Singapore. He began playing piano at the age of three. He attended Ecole Normale de Musique de Paris, where he studied with French pianists Jean-Marc Luisada and Odile Catelin-Delangle. Later, he attended the Schola Cantorum de Paris where he studied with Gabriel Tacchino.

## Career

By the time Wang turned 18, he had participated in several international piano competitions in cities such as Berlin, Bordeaux, Vulaines Sur Seine, Lagny Sur Marne, Merignac, Paris and Slovenia. In the competitions held in Berlin and Bordeaux, he emerged victorious and received the Grand Prizes.
In 2015, Wang released his debut album, Charme, a collection of piano works by French composer Francis Poulenc. The album was released on KNS Classical and received positive reviews from multiple news outlets including Today. In 2018, he released his second album, Reflets dedicated to Claude Debussy on the centennial of the French composer's death.
Given that Wang has pursued the majority of his musical education in France, he exhibits a strong inclination towards French composers and classical musical genres. With a repertoire comprising nearly 30 piano concertos, Wang has extensively studied the complete solo piano works of Frédéric Chopin and Francis Poulenc. Consequently, he has performed in over 800 recitals globally and has shared the stage with numerous renowned musicians including such as Romain Leleu, Agnes Kallay, Giancarlo de Lorenzo, Elena Xanthoudakis, Grigor Palikarov, Quatour Arsis etc. In December 2023, Wang published his autobiography, The Wandering Pianist which reached the bestseller status on Amazon.

# Mutsuro Nakazono

Mutsuro Nakazono (May 22, 1918 – October 8, 1994) (first name also spelled "Mitsuro"; also known as Masahilo Mikoto Nakazono; and later, Mikoto Masahilo Nakazono)) was a Japanese acupuncturist, an Oriental medicine practitioner, a judo 6th dan and a 7th dan Aikikai aikido master. He studied under Morihei Ueshiba (the founder of Aikido) and Ogasawara (a teacher of the Kototama Principle) for many years. Born in the Kagoshima prefecture of Japan, he relocated to France in 1961 where he remained until the early 1970s as a representative of the Aikikai in Europe and North Africa. According to an article by his son, Jei Atacama, Mutsuro Nakazono "changed his name to Masahilo Mikoto Nakazono in his late fifties when he came to realize how his whole life was about his pursuit for 'the truth of life.' 'Masahilo' stood for 'searcher for the beautiful truth of life.'" During this period he was also Chief instructor of Aikido for the international Budo Council. According to Henry Ellis, a pioneer of UK Aikido, Nakazono Sensei's Aikido technique was "the first seen in the U.K. to combine the power found with other instructors, with the grace normally associated with Aikido today." He operated the Nakazono Clinic, a natural healing center in San Diego, California. He moved to Santa Fe, New Mexico in 1972 and lived there until his death in 1994.
Nakazono was an authority on kototama and wrote privately published books on the subject. His study of kototama was greatly influenced by his studies with Ueshiba who cultivated a spiritual outlook in his teachings. Ueshiba is believed to have mastered kototama to a certain degree, yet few of his disciples other than Nakazono demonstrated an interest in learning this aspect of aikido from him.
Nakazono was also deeply involved in the spiritual aspect of healing such as Inochi. Having descended from a long family tradition of healers he passed on both his interest in Aikido and his spiritual approach to healing to his son Jiro Nakazono (now known as Jei Atacama) who practiced spiritual healing in New York City until his own death.
In 2007 there was a series of memorial events in Rosfall, Switzerland and Neath, UK sponsored by Nakazono Sensei's students in memory of their beloved teacher.

# Otway Coast

The Otway Coast comprises a popular beach and national park section of the Great Ocean Road on the south-eastern coast of Australia between the Victorian towns of Lorne and Apollo Bay. The townships on the Otway Coast are: Separation Creek, Wye River, Kennett River, Wongara and Sugarloaf.

## History

The Otway Coast region became a popular holiday destination from the city of Melbourne in Victoria after the returned servicemen from World War 1 built a spectacular stretch of road along some of the state's most precipitous cliffs. The townships of the Otway Coast were all settled in the late 1800s but only became popular as beach resorts when the Great Ocean Road was opened in 1932. They differ from the other townships along the coast in that they are smaller and less developed.
On 25 December 2015 a bushfire destroyed 18 homes in Separation Creek and at Wye River 98 homes were destroyed. There were no deaths at either town.

## Koala populations

The Otway Coast has one of the most successful wild koala populations in Australia with their numbers increasing every year due to the high percentage of available suitable vegetation like manna gum and blue gum.

## National parks

A significant area of the Otway Coast belongs to the Great Otway National Park with many walking tracks and waterfalls. The Park features the magnificent trees of the ancient rainforests, the drier forests of the inland slopes and the very diverse heathlands and woodlands along with spectacularly rugged coastline. During winter it has some of Victoria's most striking waterfalls.
# Oxossia spicata

Oxossia spicata is a shrub in the genus Oxossia (Passifloraceae). It is native to the Atlantic Rainforest of Espírito Santo, Brazil. The species is known from three different populations, however, additional field work is needed to determine the conservation status of O. spicata.
Similar to other members of the genus, O. spicata has white distylous flowers. It closely resembles T. albicans, but differs in location and sessile flowers and simple tector trichomes.
