title: Maupin Section Foreman's House

text:
The Maupin Section Foreman's House is a historic section house in Maupin, Oregon, United States. It recalls the days of the "Last Great Railroad War" (construction 1909–1911) between the rival transportation empires of E. H. Harriman and James J. Hill, as they raced to build routes up the Deschutes River canyon, connecting the mainlines along the Columbia River to the new markets of Central Oregon. Harriman's Des Chutes Railroad Company built the house to the Union Pacific Common Standard Plan for buildings (with allowed variations) in 1910. It was one of three buildings in the "country combination station" at Maupin, and served as residence for the maintenance of way foreman for the local section of track. The other two buildings of the station (a depot and a bunk residence for the maintenance crew) were demolished by 1968. Most of the Des Chutes Railroad tracks in the canyon were abandoned in 1936, granting Hill the final victory in the race. The road passing in front of the house utilizes the former railroad grade.

The Bureau of Land Management acquired the house in 1968. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.

title: Buttle Church

text:
Buttle Church () is a medieval church in Buttle on the Swedish island of Gotland. It is one of the more well-preserved Romanesque churches on Gotland, and contains both a number of medieval furnishings as well medieval murals. Buttle Church belongs to the Diocese of Visby of the Church of Sweden.

History and architecture

Buttle Church is one of the more well-preserved Romanesque churches on Gotland. The oldest parts are the western part of the choir and the nave, dating from the second half of the 12th century. The tower was added circa 1220. An original apse was pulled down during the middle of the 14th century and replaced by the present structure with a straight east end, in Gothic style. The only later additions are the windows of the nave, which were made in 1882-83.

Inside, the church is decorated with medieval murals. In the nave, a damaged frieze displaying the Passion of Christ can be seen, while in the tower base there are a set of paintings depicting Saint George and the Dragon, Saint Martin of Tours and a scene in which souls are being weighed. All the paintings in the church have been attributed to the Master of the Passion of Christ (Passionsmästaren) or his workshop.

The church retains several medieval furnishings. The triumphal cross is one of the earliest of its kind on Gotland, dating from the end of the 12th century. It was probably made by a local artist but shows influences from German art from the period. The altarpiece is also medieval, from the 15th century, and still in its original place. The altarpiece displays carved wooden figures depicting the crucifixion and a number of saints. It was renovated in 1956-57. The baptismal font is also noteworthy, from the middle of the 13th century. Its base is decorated with sculpted heads of humans and beasts. The pews are in a vernacular Baroque style. In the 1950s they were restored to their original colour scheme. They were probably decorated by the same artist who worked in Vänge Church.

The church today belongs to the Church of Sweden and lies within the Diocese of Visby.

title: List of songs recorded by Little Mix

text:
British girl group Little Mix have recorded material for six studio albums as well as non-album singles. They came to prominence after they won the eighth series of The X Factor in 2011, the first group to do so. Members Jade Thirlwall, Perrie Edwards, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, and Jesy Nelson originally entered the competition as solo acts, but were placed together to make a quartet during the initial stages of the auditions. A cover of "Cannonball" by Damien Rice was released as their winner's single.
After winning The X Factor, the group worked on their debut album, DNA, which was released on 19 November 2012. Its track "Wings" is a bubblegum pop and R&B song with elements of 1990s music. Lyrically, it is about self-empowerment and following one's dreams. The title track has a Gothic feel to it whereby Little Mix display a darker side to their personalities. The group worked with former Girls Aloud member, Nicola Roberts, on the Latin-inspired "Going Nowhere" and featured Missy Elliott on the single release version of pop-funk track "How Ya Doin'?". The latter track contains two samples: "Help Is On the Way" composed by James Stanley Carter and  "Name and Number" written by Curiosity Killed the Cat.

Little Mix's second studio album, Salute, was released on 8 November 2013. The group previously stated in March that the project would be more influenced by R&B than their previous album. "Move" was released as the lead single, and described by Digital Spy writer Lewis Corner as setting up their new urban creative direction "nicely." The title track makes use of a Blitzkrieg siren in its composition while lyrically it promotes female self-empowerment. "Nothing Feels Like You" adopts a Carnival feel while "Good Enough" is a piano ballad which deals with the process of being rejected by someone you have feelings for. The Guardian critic Harriet Gibsone described "Boy" as a revamped interpretation of N*SYNC's 2001 track "Gone". In March 2014, the group released a cover of Cameo's 1986 single "Word Up!" as the official Sport Relief charity single.

Get Weird, their third album, was released on 6 November 2015. With the exception of the "moody" trap track "Lightning", it saw the group return to a pop music style, though it was noted for its sexualised tone. The song "A.D.I.D.A.S." is an acronym for "All Day I Dream About Sex" and alludes to the sexual act of cunnilingus and fellatio in its lyrics. It also samples the line "hot love and emotion" from "Hold On, We're Going Home" performed by Drake; he, along with the song's other composers Noah "40" Shebib, Majid Al Maskati, Jordan Ullman and Anthony Jeffries, received songwriting credits as a result. "Love Me Like You" is a retro-Motown track reminiscent of Shadow Morton's work. NME writer Nick Levine noted that the lyrics "He was just a dick and I knew it" on "Hair" and "Your voice dropped and you thought you could handle me" on "Grown" were two examples of many "sassy" tracks on Get Weird.

title: Pierre D'Archambeau

text:
Pierre D'Archambeau (Yverdon, 3 April 1927 – Osterville, 16 June 2014) born from Belgian parents, was an American violin virtuoso and pedagogue.

Life
D'Archambeau came from a long line of musicians. His father, Iwan (Ywan) D'Archambeau (Herve, Belgium, 1879 - Villefranche-sur-Mer, France, 29 December 1955), was the cellist of the Flonzaley Quartet, which enjoyed an international reputation for more than twenty-five years during the 1920s and 30s.

Pierre D'Archambeau started piano lessons when he was four years old and three years later, he started violin. When he was only nine years old, he gave his first violin recital in the United States. He won many prizes, amount them the International Competition of Geneva, the Queen Elisabeth of Belgium Competition and the Medal of the Eugene Ysaÿe Foundation.

D'Archambeau worked with many noted musicians, including Arturo Toscanini, Pablo Casals, Jacques Thibaud, Nadia Boulanger and Fritz Kreisler, who bequeathed him the famous Daniel Parker "the Kreisler", London, c. 1715, violin. This violin, which he played regularly, was one of the best specimens of the work of this famous English violin maker.

D’Archambeau was presented in the US regularly by W. Hazaiah Williams, the founder and director of "Today’s Artists Concerts/Four Seasons Arts", beginning in 1980 and again in 1986 with a San Francisco recital for unaccompanied violin. Under the same presenter, he appeared in 1992 with violinist Elwyn Adams and pianist Leon Bates in Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall, New York.
He later performed again in Weill Hall with violist Amadi Azikiwe and pianist Dennis Helmrich. From 1985 through 2012, Mr. D’Archambeau was artist-in-residence at "Four Seasons Arts’ Yachats Music Festival" on the Oregon coast. In that role, he not only performed, but was mentor to the many young musicians who had the privilege of sharing the stage with him.

Pierre D'Archambeau's solo recitals have included the six Ysaÿe Sonatas, the twenty-four Caprices of Paganini and the six Sonatas & Partitas of Bach. His repertoire was huge, embracing more than fifty concerti.

D'Archambeau died on June 16, 2014, at his home in Massachusetts, aged 87.

title: The Graduation of Jake Moon

text:
The Graduation of Jake Moon is a children's book that was written by Barbara Park and published in 2000.  It is appropriate reading material for children aged between 9 and 12.

Plot
This novel is all about Jake Moon's changing relationship with his grandfather.  This was someone he loved for so many years and enjoyed spending time with.  But now Skelly—the grandfather—has Alzheimer's disease and everything has changed for Jake.  Indeed, it is now like Jake is the adult and Skelly is the kid.  More than that, it seems like caring for his grandfather has been very much left up to him and that puts an increased burden on his own life.

One day though, Jake has had enough, and he rebels.  The unthinkable happens and now the question is, has Jake left it too late?  Can he still show his grandfather how much he means to him?  The story reveals the answer.

Praise
 Publishers Weekly gave a starred review to this "memorable" novel narrated by an eighth-grader whose beloved grandfather has Alzheimer's disease.
 School Library Journal recorded that: "This novel demonstrates the horror of Alzheimer's disease, both to the afflicted person and to the loved ones, and it is written in an accessible style that will appeal to a wide audience."

The song began as a demo by its original songwriter and producer, Cacaq (Idris Batumena). The demo was given to Mujahid, a representative from Rumpun Records (subsidiary of Malaysia's Universal Music Group) who personally met Cacaq in 2008 in East Java. To retrieve the demo, Mujahid had to travel at a distance of more than , from Surabaya to Genteng Wetan, East Java.

In October 2012, the song was finally given to Siti as part of an agreement between Siti Nurhaliza Productions and Universal Music Group (Malaysia).

Composition and lyrics

A moderate pop song, the songs lasts for four minutes and forty eight seconds. Galau which can be translated as a state of worry or confusion, is a song that revolves around the hardships that two lovers have to face when their love lives are full of obstacles.

Release and promotion
Prior to its official digital single release on 11 January 2013, the song was first performed two months earlier, on 8 November 2012 in front of the audience of "Dato' Siti Nurhaliza – Live in Kuantan 2012" concert. After the single was slated for its digital release on 11 January 2013, the song was promoted to three major radio stations in Malaysia, Era FM, Hot FM and Suria FM on 18 January 2013.

Reception
Within a week after the release of the single, Siti was listed in the Top 10 of most searched entries on Google Malaysia for week running from 18 to 24 January.

Music video

Background
Recorded on 7 December 2012, the music video was directed by Daryl Adrian Emuang and shot at Moroccan Pavilion, Putrajaya Botanical Garden, Putrajaya. According to Daryl, the location was chosen for its unique and beautiful architecture. Apart from scenes involving Siti, Daryl also employed a pair of aerial dancers to better visualise his experimental abstract take on the music video. The music video was launched and previewed at a special press conference to promote the music video that took place at Kuala Lumpur Tower on 13 May 2013, before officially being released for public viewing on Rumpun Records' official YouTube account on the next day.

Synopsis

The music video begins with the scene showing Siti sauntering down the hallway with heavily decorated arch and pillars around her. In the next scene, she is shown sitting on top of a brown coloured velvet sofa. Throughout her scenes, she only wears a single ensemble – soft pink dress and a matching pink headpiece. In other scenes, clips of male and female aerial dancers in an entire black ensemble twirling and winding up and down on white fabrics interspersed between scenes involving Siti. Clips that involve the dancers begin with a female dancer only shot, to a male dancer only shot, before halfway through the music video, the dancers are finally shot dancing together in a single frame shot. In most of the scenes that involve the dancers, they are also mirror effects and kaleidoscope effects that are applied on their shots as they wind up and down their dancing fabrics. The same effects are also applied on Arabic scripts that are shown behind the dancers. Throughout the video, the scenes that are depicting Siti vary in term of distance, from long shot, medium shot to close-up.

The entire length of its music video is significantly shorter than the single itself, with a whole duration of three minutes and twenty four seconds.

Live performances
Apart from its first performance at "Dato' Siti Nurhaliza – Live in Kuantan 2012" concert, the song was also performed at Siti's Secretaries' Week performance on 11 April 2013 at Taming Sari Ballroom, The Royale Chulan, Kuala Lumpur. She also performed the song for a special television program, "Stailista Unplugged", that was aired during the 2013 Eid al-Fitr week.  For the show, "Galau" was rendered specially to fit with the unplugged theme.

Cover versions
On 7 September 2013, a Singaporean contestant of Akademi Fantasia 2013 (where Siti is also one of the mentors), Nur Aishah Abdul Aziz covered the song during the Top 12 Prelude Concert.
In May 2014, the song was covered by Malaysian electric violinist, Dennis Lau, in his album, A Malaysian Journey.

title: Zeki Sayar

text:
Zeki Sayar (1905–2000) was a Turkish architect, journalist and the publisher of Turkey's first architectural magazine, Arkikekt.. His purpose was to introduce Turkish architects to the public to improve their prospects.

Arkitekt

The first architectural magazine of Turkey was called Arkitekt. Sayar introduced it with Abidin Mortaş and A.Ziya Kozanoğlu in 1935.At first, the magazine was called Mimar (architect in Turkish). They were forced to change its name by the Press Public Directorate, after a linguistic revolution in Turkey. They picked their name on that of the Finnish magazine Arkkitehti, given that Finnish and Turkish are part of the same language group. Both Mortaş and Kozanoğlu left and Zeki Sayar continued to publish Arkitekt for 50 years. Sayar translated and published  writings of Famous architects like Le Corbusier

 Chamber of Architects gave him profession assistance accomplishment reward (“mesleğe katkı başarı ödülü”) in 1988

Interior Colonization (Kolonisation Interieure)

Zeki Sayar promoted interior colonization in Arkitekt. Interior colonization is used since 1929 in European countries to return a migrated population to small cities instead of big cities. He was against one plan type and wrote that architects should consider villagers' way of life and tradition. He believed there should be standardized ovens, bathrooms and kitchens to familiarize villagers with modern ways and one type of local building materials for later repairs.

title: Nicastrese goat

text:
The Nicastrese is an indigenous breed of domestic goat from Calabria, in southern Italy. It originates in the province of Catanzaro, and takes its name from the former town of Nicastro, which since 1968 has been part of Lamezia Terme. The Nicastrese is raised mainly in the area of origin, but also in the neighbouring provinces of Cosenza and Reggio Calabria. Photographic evidence suggests that it may be closely connected to the old "Araba" breed of the area.

The Nicastrese is one of the forty-three autochthonous Italian goat breeds of limited distribution for which a herdbook is kept by the Associazione Nazionale della Pastorizia, the Italian national association of sheep- and goat-breeders. The breed was officially recognised in June 2004. On 1 January 2002 the total number for the breed was estimated at ; at the end of 2013 the registered population was variously reported as  and as .

Use

The average milk yield of the Nicastrese is  litres in 150 days for primiparous,  litres in 210 days for secondiparous, and  litres in 210 days for pluriparous, nannies. The milk averages 4.3% fat, 3.5% protein and 4.7% lactose.  It is used to make caprino cheeses such as the Giuncata di capra calabra, and mixed cheeses such as Cacioricotta and Canestrato, which in Calabria have PAT status, and Pecorino Crotonese, which has DOP status.

title: Lists of festivals

text:
This is a list of festival-related list articles on Wikipedia. A festival is an event ordinarily staged by a community, centering on and celebrating some unique aspect of that community and its traditions, often marked as a local or national holiday, mela, or eid. A festival is a special occasion of feasting or celebration, usually with a religious focus. Aside from religion, and sometimes folklore, another significant origin is agricultural. Food (and consequently agriculture) is so vital that many festivals are associated with harvest time. Religious commemoration and thanksgiving for good harvests are blended in events that take place in autumn such as Halloween in the northern hemisphere and Easter in the southern.

title: Head of Nefertem

text:
The Head of Nefertem (also known as the Head from the Lotus Bloom or Tutankhamun as the Sun God) was found in the tomb of Tutankhamun (KV62) in the Valley of the Kings in West Thebes. It depicts the King (Pharaoh) as a child and dates from the 18th Dynasty (New Kingdom). The object received the find number of 8 and today is displayed with the inventory number JE 60723 in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo.

Discovery

The discovery of the Head of Nefertem is controversial, since Howard Carter did not document the piece in his excavation journal. The Head was found in 1924 by Pierre Lacau and Rex Engelbach in KV4 (the tomb of Ramses XI), which was used as a storehouse for the excavation efforts, among the bottles in a box of red wine. At this time, Carter was not in Egypt on account of the strike and closure of Tutankhamun's tomb and the withdrawal or cancellation of the excavation license of Lord Carnarvon's widow Almina, Lady Carnarvon. Carter later stated that he had found the head among the rubble in the entry corridor of KV62. In his first season of excavations, the head was not mentioned; at the time Carter only noted partially broken and full-standing alabaster vessels and vases of painted clay in the entrance-way. There is not even photographic documentation of the head in the excavation journal as there is for other pieces found in the tomb. These facts not only led to further disputes in the study of Egyptian antiquities, but also aroused the suspicion in some quarters to this day that Carter had attempted to steal the head.<ref>Andreas Austilat, Archäologie: Retter oder Räuber? In Tagesspiegel 22 January 2010.</ref>

 Description

The partially damaged head of Nefertem is carved out of wood and is  high. The stucco coating is painted red, though large sections have been damaged; Carter attributed this to its seizure by Egyptian authorities in 1924. The eyebrows, the typically Egyptian kohl eye liner, and the pupils of the bust were painted in dark blue. The head of the king is completely shaved, but shaven stubble in the form of black paint is visible. The head has Tutankhamun's facial features and depicts him as a child. As on his golden deathmask, Tutankhamun's ears are pierced.

Of all the artefacts found to date, this head is the only depiction of him as a child.

 Significance
The sculpture depicts the Pharaoh in the guise of Nefertem, the god of the dawning sun.Zahi Hawass. Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs. Washington, DC: National Geographic, 2005, 81 The child-god Nefertem springs from a blue lotus, which was associated with the revival of the Sun in the morning because its buds close at night and reopen at dawn. The blue base of the bust symbolises the primordial waters from which the sun rose at the beginning of creation. The Pharaoh was closely associated with the Sun, but the depiction of him in the guise of this particular solar deity was meant to magically guarantee that the Pharaoh would be reborn once more, just as the Sun is reborn at dawn.

 In Egyptian art
Like the depictions of the daughters of Akhenaten and Nefertiti found at Tell el-Amarna, the head of Nefertem has the elongated head and neck wrinkles typical of Amarna art. This suggests that the creation of the head occurred during the Amarna period. The depiction of the king as a child is among the most beautiful of all Egyptian art from the end of the 18th Dynasty. The head of Nefertem has been exhibited in travelling exhibitions of selected original finds from the tomb of Tutankhamun, including, among others, the Treasures of Tutankhamun (1972–1981).

title: Jacqueline Wong

text:
Jacqueline Wong Sum-wing (, born 23 January 1989) is an American-born Hong Kong Canadians actress and television host. She won the Miss Hong Kong 2012 first runner-up title and placed in the top 12 talents at Miss World 2013. In 2022, her contract with TVB ended.

Life and career

1989-2012: Early years
On 23 January 1989, Wong was born in New York City. She is the youngest sister of four, with Scarlett Wong (artiste and former host of ViuTV) as her elder sister. At the age of seven, she moved and settled in Vancouver with her family. In 2012, Wong was attending the University of British Columbia, studying her Master of Business Administration before competing for Miss Hong Kong 2012. Raised by her Cantonese family in the United States and Canada, Wong is fluent in English and Cantonese.

2012-2018: Beauty pageants & TVB career
Wong competed at Miss Hong Kong 2012 and won the first runner-up title. In the following year, she represented Hong Kong for Miss World 2013 and placed on the top 12 talents. Like all beauty pageant winners, she was offered a contract with TVB and received training to become an entertainer. Wong had starred in 14 TVB dramas since 2013. She won My Favourite TVB Supporting Actress at the 2017 StarHub TVB Awards.

2019-2021: Taxi Infidelity Scandal with Andy Hui

On 16 April 2019, Wong received heavy media exposure for her physical intimacies with married Hong Kong singer and actor Andy Hui; dubbing it "安心". At the time of the incident, Hui was married to singer-actress Sammi Cheng and Wong was in a steady relationship with actor Kenneth Ma. The two shared a taxi ride, where they passionately kissed while being recorded by the taxi's in-vehicle camera. The video was later made public by various news outlets. Since the scandal broke, Wong blocked comments from her social media accounts after her posts were flooded with negative comments and publicly apologized on social media: "I can’t face myself and do not know how to face my family, Kenneth Ma, friends, company and colleagues... I don’t dare to ask everyone for forgiveness, and only beseech everyone to give some space to all the people who have been implicated."

Wong's public image was tarnished and promotions using her image were removed or blocked. She and Ma ended their relationship and Wong returned overseas to Los Angeles for 8 months to avoid public scrutiny and tabloids. During her hiatus, Wong’s scenes in the drama Forensic Heroes IV were re-shot with Roxanne Tong, who began dating Ma in 2020. While Andy Hui is able to salvage his career, Wong's filming career was halted.

After her 8-month hiatus, the dramas Finding Her Voice (牛下女高音) and Handmaiden United (丫鬟大聯盟), in which Wong played major roles, were aired to gauge the public's reaction; the series were met with low ratings. During the promotion of the dramas, she was visibly absent. When reporters asked about any comeback plans or change of careers, she replied she had no plans nor thoughts of it.

In June 2023, she would make her first public interview. She explained in the aftermath of the scandal, her initial reaction was to avoid reality by resting all day. She experienced uncontrollable crying, feeling unmotivated, and depressed. She realized she needed help and enrolled in acting classes to keep herself occupied. She credited her recovery thanks to the support of her family and adopting her dog. It was originally speculated that TVB completely froze her career until her contract was over; she clarified that the station eventually invited her back to filming dramas and variety shows but she declined and took change in her career instead.

2022-2023: Leaving TVB & Singing Career
After a three-year hiatus, Wong's contract with TVB eventually ended in July 2022. A free agent, she has yet to return to acting. She has been dating Rubberband drummer Lai Man Wang (泥鯭) and the two live together at Wong's home. Wong would make her unannounced return to the entertainment industry with a shift to singing. She explained music was the only thing that helped her release her emotions and didn't know what else she could do. With the help of Lai Man Wang, she produced two singles. On Valentines Day (Tue, Feb 14, 2023), Jacqueline released a music video titled Crown Me (English song) with lyrics that addresses some of the criticisms she's received and her readiness to move on. During July, Jacqueline held a fan meeting to promote her new singles at Yahoo Live! Unfortunately, public reception was low as only three fans attended and online netizens were critical of her return. On Oct 27th, Jacqueline married Lai Man Wang. They hosted the wedding at Yuen Long at a hotel banquet for an outdoor ceremony with family and close friends.

title: Bäl Church

text:
Bäl Church () is a medieval church in Gute, Bäl, on the Swedish island of Gotland. It was built during the first half of the 13th century and contains sculptural decoration in both Romanesque and Gothic styles. The interior is decorated by medieval wall paintings. It belongs to the parish of Väskinde, in the Diocese of Visby.

History and architecture
The current church was built during the first half of the 13th century and replaced an earlier stone church on the same site, fragments of which still remain in the wall between the choir and nave. Of the presently visible church, the choir is the oldest part, with the nave and tower being built successively. Paintings were added in the 13th century through 15th centuries. For some reason, the tower was never finished and does not reach its originally intended height.

The church has two portals on the western façade, one leading to the choir, and a larger main portal, located on the south side of the nave. The smaller one is the oldest and still Romanesque in style, while the main portal is Gothic, and more elaborate. Additionally, there is an entrance on the north façade. The window openings are all original, and have not been enlarged during later centuries.

Inside, the church is decorated by medieval murals, uncovered in the early 21st century. They depict the Passion of Christ and scenes from the Bible. The church has some medieval items: a triumphal cross (late 13th century), a baptismal font (13th century), and a wooden sculpture depicting Mary. The altarpiece is Baroque, executed in 1664, and the pulpit is from 1744.

The church was renovated in 1965-66, and again in the early 2000s (decade).

Bäl Church lies in the parish Väskinde, in the Diocese of Visby. It is used by the Church of Sweden.

title: The Boat Race 1987

text:
The 133rd Boat Race took place on 28 March 1987.  Held annually, the Boat Race is a side-by-side rowing race between crews from the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge along the River Thames.  Oxford won by four lengths.  The race featured the tallest, heaviest, youngest and oldest crew members in the event's history.

Oxford's crew rebelled in the prelude to the race, with several American rowers and the cox leaving the squad in February after their coach Dan Topolski removed their compatriot Chris Clark from the crew, replacing him with Scottish rower Donald Macdonald.  The rebels were replaced in the main by the reserves.  Umpired by former Oxford Blue Colin Moynihan, it was the first year that the race was sponsored by Beefeater Gin, replacing Ladbrokes after ten years.

In the 23rd reserve race, Cambridge's Goldie defeated Oxford's Isis by one length. Cambridge won the 42nd Women's Boat Race.

Background

History
The Boat Race is a side-by-side rowing competition between the University of Oxford and the University of Cambridge (sometimes referred to as the "Dark Blues" and the "Light Blues" respectively). First held in 1829, the race takes place on the  Championship Course on the River Thames in southwest London.  The rivalry is a major point of honour between the two universities and is followed throughout the United Kingdom; the races are broadcast worldwide.  Cambridge went into the race as reigning champions, having won the 1986 race by seven lengths, and led overall with 69 victories to Oxford's 62 (excluding the "dead heat" of 1877).  The 1987 race was the first race to be sponsored by Beefeater Gin.

The first Women's Boat Race took place in 1927, but did not become an annual fixture until the 1960s. Up until 2014, the contest was conducted as part of the Henley Boat Races, but as of the 2015 race, it is held on the River Thames, on the same day as the men's main and reserve races.  The reserve race, contested between Oxford's Isis boat and Cambridge's Goldie boat has been held since 1965.  It usually takes place on the Tideway, prior to the main Boat Race.

Mutiny
Following defeat in the previous year's race, Oxford's first in eleven years, American Chris Clark was determined to gain revenge: "Next year we're gonna kick ass ... Cambridge's ass. Even if I have to go home and bring the whole US squad with me."  He recruited another four American post-graduates: three international-class rowers (Dan Lyons, Chris Huntington and Chris Penny) and a cox (Jonathan Fish), in an attempt to put together the fastest Boat Race crew in the history of the contest.

Disagreements over the training regime of Dan Topolski, the Oxford coach, ("He wanted us to spend more time training on land than water!" lamented Lyons) led to the crew walking out on at least one occasion, and resulted in the coach revising his approach.  A fitness test between Clark and Scottish former Blue Donald Macdonald (in which the American triumphed) resulted in a call for the Scotsman's removal; it was accompanied with a threat that the Americans would refuse to row should Macdonald remain in the crew.  As boat club president, Macdonald "had absolute power over selection" and after announcing that Clark would row on stroke side, his weaker side, Macdonald would row on the bow side and Briton Tony Ward was to be dropped from the crew entirely, the American contingent mutinied.  After considerable negotiation and debate, much of it conducted in the public eye, Clark, Penny, Huntington, Lyons and Fish were dropped and replaced by members of Oxford's reserve crew, Isis.

Crews
Oxford's crew weighed an average of nearly  a rower more than their opponents.  The race featured the tallest and heaviest (Oxford's stroke Gavin Stewart), youngest (Cambridge's Matthew Brittin) and oldest (Oxford's president Donald Macdonald) crew members in the event's history.  The Cambridge boat saw four returning Blues while Oxford welcomed back just one, in Macdonald.  Oxford's coach was Topolski, his counterpart was Alan Inns.

Race

With a more experienced crew and less disruption in the preparation for the race, Cambridge were considered favourites.  Oxford won the toss and elected to start from the Middlesex station.  A malfunction to umpire Colin Moynihan's barge caused a delay to the start; as a consequence the crews avoided racing in a lightning storm.  Straight from the start, Oxford steered towards Middlesex to seek shelter from the inclement weather.  Cambridge eventually followed, taking on water, and receiving warnings for encroaching into Oxford's water.  Almost a length ahead by Craven Cottage, Oxford steered across and in front of Cambridge to control the race before the Mile Post.  A seven-second advantage at Hammersmith Bridge became twelve seconds by Barnes Bridge and remained so by the finishing post, with Oxford winning by four lengths in a time of 19 minutes 59 seconds.

In the reserve race, Cambridge's Goldie beat Oxford's Isis by one length, their first victory in three years.  Cambridge won the 42nd Women's Boat Race, their fourth victory in six years.

Reaction

Oxford's Macdonald was triumphant: "It was a fairy-tale."  Topolski acknowledged his crew's luck in winning the toss combined with the conditions: "We had been praying for rough water."  He also appeared conciliatory: "I wish the Americans had been there.  It has nothing to do with vindication.  We just won the race, that's all."  Cadoux-Hudson said, "I thought Cambridge would murder us but we took 20 colossal strokes and there was a primeval scream from the crew. There was a huge release."

Legacy

In 1989 Topolski and author Patrick Robinson's book about the events, True Blue: The Oxford Boat Race Mutiny, was published.  Seven years later, a film based on the book was released. Alison Gill, the then-president of the Oxford University Women's Boat Club wrote The Yanks in Oxford, in which she defended the Americans and claimed Topolski wrote True Blue in order to justify his own actions. The journalist Christopher Dodd described True Blue as "particularly offensive".

Oxford's stroke Gavin Stewart, writing in The Times in 1996, had chosen to mutiny because "Macdonald as president had lost the respect of the squad and the selection system had lost credibility".  In 2003, Clark had "broken his silence", stating "Mutiny is such a loaded term ... Rebellion would be a more apt description.  On the face of it, I have no regrets whatsoever. However, I now lament my own personal maturity level. In hindsight my callowness had the effect of exacerbating a complicated but manageable situation."  On the twentieth anniversary of the race, Topolski insisted "It was just a selection dispute, an argument which every club in every sport has from time to time.  The media just took the story and hyped it up."

Clark, by 2023 the head coach of the Wisconsin Badgers men’s rowing programme, would conclude that he had learnt things from the experience that helped his own coaching and said that: “The entire thing was unnecessary,” admitting “I purposely never really talk much about it, only because it’s painful…it was so odd and like it or not, I was the central figure in it.” Whilst maintaining there was a “vacuum of leadership”, “no professional coaching staff”, and “no central authority…I certainly didn’t understand how much power the President had,” he said he personally held “no grudge whatsoever, If you’re going to throw a giant rock in a pool you’ve got to expect the wakes that are going to come. I understand Dan was personally hurt by it and I wish that wouldn’t have happened”.

title: Russian Abstract Art Foundation

text:
Russian Abstract Art Foundation is a noncommercial organization, formed for supporting cultural, educational and social initiatives. The Foundation’s mission is to form correct academic and historical understanding of Russian abstract art in the global context.

Collection
The collection of the Foundation is based on creative work by members of The New Reality artistic group, as well as on vast archival material, connected with their art, the Foundation aims at defining and demonstrating the place of this group in particular, and Russian abstraction in general, in the evolvement line of history of art. Foundation is focusing on the artists, who were attending Studio for a long time and formed the very core of it, such as Ely Beliutin, Vladislav Zubarev, Lutsian Gribkov, Vera Preobrazhenskaya, Tamara Ter-Gevondyan, Anatoly Safokhin, Svetlana Nekrasova, Elena Radkevich, Alexander Krukov. The  New Reality Studio was a group of abstract artists, it emerged at end the 1950s and had been existing until the death of their leader Ely Beliutin in 2012. Their aim was the revival and natural development of the Russian avant-garde and abstract art of 1920s. Abstract art, having started with works by Wassily Kandinsky, did not get development in Russia, and for almost 30 years was excluded from professional vocabulary, but, in spite of this, gained a powerful momentum in the West. Works by Wassily Kandinsky, Kazimir Malevich, Larionov, Lisitsky, Alexander Rodchenko illustrate these artists’ unique experiments with color, shape, space, but, first and foremost, they vividly reflected changing social identities, that is, fulfilled the main purpose of art.

Ely Bielutin made it his mission to create truly contemporary art, and as a result of his activities, aspired to found a new Academy of Arts. This makes members of his group followers of the early 20th century masters not only from the formal-stylistic point of view, but ideologically as well. That is why their intellectual and creative heritage is indispensable for understanding evolvement of any innovative idea in art.

Foundation’s Mission
Studies of the system of interaction with artists, devised by Ely  Bielutin and his disciple Vladislav Zubarev, and analysis of Bielutin’s theory of common ability to contact and Zubarev’s theory of temporal art demonstrated that these methods are universal and can be used working with people of various occupations, not only of creative professions. The Foundation developed an educational program based on these theories that includes lectures and workshops, and is being prepared for introduction into Russian higher education institutions.

To realize its goals the Foundation plans to engage into intensive educational activities, including cooperation with Russian and foreign non-profit and academic organizations, public-owned and private museums.

The Foundation’s activities are not limited to collaborating with acknowledged masters, but are oriented towards engaging young artists who dedicate their art to current issues and search for new creative forms. The second goal of the Foundation is to adapt and integrate new methods into educational process in order to help develop original creative thinking in students.
