The  was a battle between pro-Imperial and Tokugawa shogunate forces during the Boshin War in Japan. The battle followed the Battle of Toba–Fushimi on 29 March 1868 (Gregorian calendar).

Prelude

After defeating the forces of the Tokugawa shogunate at the Battle of Toba–Fushimi, the Imperial forces (consisting of the feudal armies of Chōshū, Satsuma and Tosa domains) split into three columns, which progressed northeast towards the Tokugawa capital of Edo up each of the three main highways: Tōkaidō (road), Nakasendō and Hokurikudō.

Meanwhile, Kondō Isami, leader of the Shinsengumi, withdrew to Edo after the Battle of Toba–Fushimi.  Once back in Edo, he met with Shogunal military commander Katsu Kaishū. Kondō created a new unit based on the surviving remnants of the Shinsengumi, called the , and they departed Edo on 24 March.

The battle
The Imperial army reached the Tokugawa stronghold of Kōfu first, and occupied it with a struggle. The Imperial army then met the Shogunal forces in battle at Katsunuma (now a part of Kōshū, Yamanashi) on 29 March. Outnumbered 10:1, the Shogunal forces were defeated with 179 casualties. The survivors, including Kondō, attempted to flee to Aizu via Sagami Province, which was still controlled by Tokugawa hatamoto loyalists.

Consequences
Kondō Isami narrowly escaped from this battle, but was captured soon after at Nagareyama, Chiba. He was beheaded by the new government at Itabashi a short time later. The Battle of Kōshū-Katsunuma was the last significant military action in central Honshū during the Boshin War, and the death of Kondō Isami further demoralized Tokugawa supporters, contributing to the surrender of Edo Castle without bloodshed later that year.

The Dimonika Biosphere Reserve () (established 1988) is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in the Republic of the Congo.  The  reserve is located in the central Mayombe mountain chain about  from the Atlantic coast.

The Mayombe has a hot, humid climate, combining tropical and oceanic traits.  A lowland Guineo-Congolese rainforest dominates the biosphere reserve together with savanna vegetation.  The area is in the transition zone between semi-deciduous and evergreen forest. Of special scientific interest are various types of forest communities recolonising old areas of forest exploitation.

The fauna within the biosphere reserve is diverse and varied.

Human activities 

Compared to other rural areas of Congo, the Mayombe Mountains are densely populated.

Many migrants from neighboring regions, Angola and the Democratic Republic of the Congo have settled within the biosphere reserve.  , there were 19,000 inhabitants in the Sous-prefécture de M’Vouti. Their main activities are subsistence agriculture, hunting, fishing and gold extraction.

The "Mayombe Project" aimed at improving the communication between local stakeholders, managers and scientists. In 1991, a survey was issued to determine perceptions and expectations of the biosphere reserve inhabitants. Research has been carried out on the impact of gold extraction on the biosphere reserve.

Cherif Guellal (born 19 August 1932 in Constantine, Algeria – deceased 7 April 2009) was an Algerian businessman and diplomat, who fought in the Algerian independence movement and who was a citizen of the United States.

Biography
Cherif Guellal attended the university at Aix-en-Provence in southern France, and graduated in 1956. Taking the lead from his mother, who was a leader in the Algerian anti-French resistance movement, he joined the government in exile. He worked to build support for the movement, mainly from India.

He served as a key aide to the resistance leader Ahmed Ben Bella, who became the first president of post-colonial Algeria. He was sent to Washington, D.C., as the new country's first Ambassador to the United States. His primary role was to protect the Algerian oil interests and handle the independence of Algeria in the cold-war era. The US-Algeria relations were also tensed by the establishment of the Vietcongs' first mission outside of Vietnam, in Algeria. Cherif Guellal also had to handle Algeria's official ties with Cuba and the tension it generated within the US diplomatic corps. In a 1964 speech, he stated «We wish to be masters in our own house and not junior partners of the great powers».

In May 1964, after Lyndon B. Johnson was named to the White House, his 12-room French chateau-style house (The Elms) was sold to the Algerian government and became the residence of Cherif Guellal. According to the writer Barbara Howar in her 1973 memoir Laughing All The Way, Guellal and Johnson both originated from oil-rich states (Texas for Johnson) and shared a similar mentality towards politics.

He outlasted his mentor, remaining in his post following the military coup that removed Ben Bella from power and installed Houari Boumedienne, the former National Liberation Front military chief, in his place.

In Washington, he successfully lobbied for the repeal of racially restrictive covenants on his ambassadorial residence, one impetus for the later, widespread repeal of such covenants.

When the 1967 Arab-Israeli war broke, Cherif Guellal's term ended. He remained a representative of Algeria's national oil company Sonatrach.

Ambassador Guellal died of leukemia in Algeria on April 7, 2009. He was buried at the El Alia Cemetery.

Personal life
Guellal had a long-term relationship with Yolande Fox, who was Miss America in 1951 and later an opera singer. Guellal and Fox led an active social life, frequenting academic meetings and circulating among Washington's social and intellectual elite. His social secretary was Sally Quinn. Until his death, they raised Fox's grandchild, Yolande Paris Campbell, together.

Peter Atke Castberg (3 August 1779 – 30 April 1823) was a Danish professor and physician who founded modern deaf education in Denmark.

Biography 
Castberg was born in Copenhagen, Denmark, to Peder Leganger Castberg, a priest, and Magdalene Sophie Bentzen, and was educated in Kongsberg until enrolling in university. He studied medicine at the University of Copenhagen and took the public service exam in 1801. He began his practice at Frederiks Hospital and received his doctorate in medicine in 1802. During his studies and work as a doctor, Castberg found an interest in helping the deaf. He initially attempted to cure them through galvanism, the use of electric current. 

From 1803 to 1805 he undertook an educational trip to visit deaf schools including  school in Kiel, Charles-Michel de l'Épée's school in Paris, and Samuel Heinicke's school. After his return, Castberg sent a report to the government to draw attention to the need to establish an education establishment for the deaf. In the meantime, he began privately tutoring deaf students, choosing the French method of instruction, which emphasized the use of sign language. The relevant law was enacted by Christian IX on 17 April 1807, and the education of 10 students thus officially began at  ('the Royal Institute for the Deaf-Mute in Copenhagen'). Castberg was the school's head and head teacher.

Castberg encouraged Norwegian Andreas Christian Møller – who had studied at the institute from 1810 to 1815 as there were no schools for the deaf in Norway – to work there as a teacher, which he did from 1817 to 1822, becoming the first deaf teacher of the deaf in the Nordic countries. Castberg would later influence the founding of the first deaf school in Norway. He encouraged Norwegian authorities of the need for education for the deaf; the first Norwegian school for the deaf – and Norwegian special education school in general – was founded in 1824 with Møller as its head.

According to the law of 11 April 1817, all deaf children in Denmark were to receive an education at the institute, which led to cramped conditions. Additionally, the Danish state bankruptcy of 1813 led to increasing financial difficulties. This resulted in the institute being placed under management in 1823.

Castberg was made a Knight of the Order of the Dannebrog.

Castberg died in Copenhagen in 1823 and is buried at Assistens Cemetery there.

Memorials 
A bust of Peter Atke Castberg is located at Skolen på Kastelsvej, a school for deaf and hard-of-hearing children.

The street Castbergsvej in Valby, Copenhagen, is named after Castberg.

Castberg Prize 
Døvefonden, the Danish Deaf Foundation, has since 1970 awarded the Castberg Prize to individuals who further the cause of the deaf. Winners include teacher  (1979) and linguist Elisabeth Engberg-Pedersen (1994).

Oreya () is a mixed chamber choir a cappella, based in Zhytomyr, Ukraine. It was founded by Alexander Vatsek in 1986, and has been conducted by him. The choir, focused on Ukrainian sacred and secular music, has been successful in international concerts and competitions.

History

The choir was founded in 1986 by Alexander Vatsek, who has conducted the group since. They focus on both Ukrainian music and international works through the centuries such as Alfred Schnittke's Pater Noster, Samuel Barber's Agnus Dei, Eric Whitacre's Lux Aurumque, Rachmaninoff's All-Night Vigil, Pärt Uusberg's Kyrie and Hyo-Won Woo's Gloria.

They have collected prizes at international choral competitions such as the International Robert Schumann Choir Competition and the 14th International Chamber Choir Competition Marktoberdorf in 2015, where they won among other awards a special prize for the best interpretation of a religious choral work for performing Schnittke's: Lord Jesus Christ. They performed concerts such as at the Aachen Biennale in 2009, where they sang solo concerts and also together with six other international choirs in the concluding work, Leonard Bernstein's "Kaddish".

Daniel Honsack, a reviewer of the Wiesbadener Tagblatt, noted about their concert in St. Martin, Idstein: "The choir impresses with gentle persistence and penetrating sharpness. The tonal homogeneity, which is retained even in seemingly chaotic placement of the singers, is astonishing. The individual parts shine in individual sound colors, which can be mixed in different combinations". ("Der Chor beeindruckt mit sanfter Nachhaltigkeit und eindringlicher Schärfe. Verblüffend ist die klangliche Homogenität, die auch bei scheinbar chaotischer Choraufstellung beibehalten wird. Die einzelnen Stimmgruppen glänzen durch eigenständige Klangfarben, die sich immer wieder neu zusammenmischen lassen.")

In June 2016 the choir participated in Israel, along with the Gary Bertini Israel Choir, in gala concerts of the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Vasily Petrenko of Rachmaninoff's choral symphony The Bells.
