In 2008, <mask>'s music was labelled by Swedish magazine Nöjesguiden as "chip house" music, while <mask> considered his music to be from a variety of inspirations, ultimately becoming "8-bit-inspired dance music". In an interview with VGMO, <mask> described the musical style of his tracks to be "a mix between the music I find suitable for the project in question, the music I enjoy, and the music I have the skills to produce." In Ballistics and Bandits: Phoenix Rising, he cited the Quake III soundtrack, Fatboy Slim, and The Chemical Brothers as inspirations for the rock, techno, big beat, and industrial sound.When it came to the soundtrack of Bionic Commando Rearmed, <mask> was influenced by groups such as The Crystal Method and Justice, inspirations that he says can be "[heard] ... clearly in the music". The soundtrack of Payday 2 featured a wide variety of music, especially when it came to the music for the game's downloadable content. The trailer for "The Big Bank" DLC featured an opera piece composed by <mask>, with the lyrics being written in Swedish and translated to Italian to be performed by opera singers. Composition
The music for his first two projects, Ballistics and Bandits: Phoenix Rising, were made with FastTracker 2, while the tracks for Bionic Commando series and Payday: The Heist, were made with Jeskola Buzz. In 2013, for Payday 2, he moved on to using Ableton Live, supplemented with a Native Instruments Komplete keyboard and the reFX Nexus 2 Synthesizer plug-in. Works

texts: <mask> (born 27 March 1982) is an English former professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper. He played in the Football League for York City, Tranmere Rovers and Bradford City. Howarth started his career in the youth system of hometown club York City in 1996 while a schoolboy, before becoming a trainee in 1998. He made his first-team debut aged 17, playing in the first six matches of the 1999–2000 season. During this run in the team, he signed a professional contract with the club. However, he was unable to play regularly for York because of the form of Bobby Mimms and Alan Fettis. After having trials with Premier League and First Division clubs, Howarth left York in November 2002 to sign for Tranmere Rovers for a five-figure fee.Here, he again played sporadically, only having runs in the team when first-choice goalkeeper John Achterberg was unavailable. After being released by Tranmere in 2005, Howarth signed for Bradford City. However, he was unable to dislodge Donovan Ricketts in goal and was released in 2007. He retired from football and started working as a paramedic. While at York, Howarth played for England at a number of youth levels. He was capped twice at under-16 level in 1999, while still a trainee at York. He competed with Chelsea's Rhys Evans for a starting place in the under-18 team, playing for them in 2001 UEFA European Under-18 Championship qualifying.After making four under-18 appearances from 2000 to 2001, he progressed to the under-20 team, competing with Evans, Stephen Bywater and Boaz Myhill for a place in the team. He was capped four times for the team from 2001 to 2002 before being given a late call-up to the under-21 squad for the 2002 UEFA European Under-21

 Championship. He was still included in under-21 squads after moving to Tranmere, but failed to be capped at that level. Early life
Howarth was born in York, North Yorkshire to Michael and Lyn <mask> (née Hammond). He was baptised in Riccall, North Yorkshire and attended Barlby High School. As a youth, he played as a goalkeeper for Olympia Station FC, before representing York and District Schools aged 12. In one season, however, he played as a left winger and scored 29 goals.He soon returned to playing in goal and impressed Huntington School teacher Alan Whitehead, a former York City player, who ran the York and District team. Club career

York City
Howarth started his career with hometown club York City in their youth system, joining in 1996 on schoolboy terms. In the summer of 1998, he signed a three-year academy scholarship at York and became a first-year trainee. During May 1999, he played for York in the Candia-66 International Under-20s Tournament, a youth tournament hosted in Europe. York won the tournament after defeating Trenkvin Slowakigie in the final, in which Howarth saved two penalty kicks in the 4–2 penalty shoot-out victory. Aged 17, he made his first-team debut for Third Division York in a 1–0 victory at home to Swansea City in the opening match of the 1999–2000 season on 7 August 1999. He started the season as York's first-choice goalkeeper ahead of the experienced Bobby Mimms, keeping clean sheets in the first three matches.On 26 August 1999, two days after making his fifth successive appearance, Howarth signed a three-year professional contract with York. However, after conceding 11 goals in three matches, and having played in York's first six matches of the season, manager


texts: Neil Thompson dropped him for the more experienced Mimms. York's management team insisted Howarth's exclusion was to safeguard him, and was not based on merit. His next appearance came as a 72nd-minute substitute in York's 2–0 defeat away to Plymouth Argyle on 19 February 2000, following an injury to Mimms. Howarth was favoured over Mimms for the following match, a 0–0 draw at home to Exeter City on 26 February 2000. However, following the signing of Northern Ireland international Alan Fettis, Howarth was once again restricted to the substitutes' bench. His first season in senior football finished with eight appearances.In May 2000, Howarth played for Premier League club Leeds United in a seven-a-side tournament in Singapore, because their own goalkeepers were unavailable. He also represented York in the Candia-66 International Under-20s Tournament for a second successive summer, although he only played one match as he was being rested after playing for Leeds. His first appearance of 2000–01 came 22 August 2000, in York's 5–1 defeat at home to Stoke City in the League Cup first round first leg. During the match, he fumbled a Graham Fenton cross, and Stoke opened the scoring from the error. He garnered praise from York's part-time goalkeeping coach and former Everton player Neville Southall, who Howarth held as a boyhood hero, saying: "Russ can be as good as he wants to be. He works hard and has a great attitude when a lot of youngsters today at big clubs don't have such a good attitude. He will succeed.Even if it is in three, five or even ten years, he will succeed." With Fettis rested, Howarth made his second appearance of the season on 9 January 2001, starting in a 4–0 defeat at home to


texts: Darlington in the Football League Trophy Northern Section first round. Despite conceding four goals, he was the only player to escape criticism from manager Terry Dolan, who said: "He was let down by everyone else around him. He had no protection whatsoever. His kicking was excellent and he did everything else he had to do without a problem." Due to the good form of Fettis, Howarth finished the season with only two appearances. Howarth made his first appearance of 2001–02 in the 2–0 defeat away to Notts County on 16 October 2001 in the Football League Trophy Northern Section first round.Having made a number of fine saves, he was named man of the match, and Dolan remarked that: "he is playing as well as I have seen him and he is putting real pressure on Alan Fettis." Despite not featuring regularly for York, he spent four days on trial with Premier League club Sunderland, training with the team for three days and playing 45 minutes of a practice match against Huddersfield Town. Howarth then spent a brief period on trial with Wolverhampton Wanderers (Wolves) of the First Division in January 2002. He played for the reserve team against Huddersfield and reportedly impressed manager Dave Jones. Howarth made his first league appearance for York in over two years as a 65th-minute substitute for an injured Fettis a 3–0 home win over Bristol Rovers on 17 April 2002. Two days later, he was offered a new contract by York. With Fettis still injured for the following match, Howarth started for the first time since February 2000 in a 1–0 defeat away to Scunthorpe United on 20 April 2002, York's final match of the season.He finished the season with three appearances. Larger clubs became interested in buying


texts: him during the summer of 2002 and he decided to consider his options before deciding on his future. He trialled with Everton in May 2002, and played in a friendly against Falkirk in the Alex Scott Memorial Trophy, keeping a clean sheet. He revealed he was interested in a move to Everton, and due to Fettis' good form for York, he decided to pursue a move. After his contract expired on 30 June 2002, Howarth joined Wolves for a second trial in July for a two-week period. After playing in Wolves' opening pre-season friendly against Morecambe, he was invited to join them for their pre-season tour of Portugal. Despite being out of contract at York, the club was entitled a fee as he was under 24 years of age, but a bid of £60,000 from Wolves was rejected.He was recalled by York to take part in a pre-season friendly against Sunderland, although he refused to participate. Howarth told Dolan he did not want to play for the club, as any potential injury could have ended his proposed transfer. His proposed move to Wolves continued until August 2002, and late that month he trained with Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur. He played in a practice match for Tottenham, but after they failed to follow up their interest in him Wolves made a bid to sign him on loan, which York rejected. After Marlon Beresford left York, and Howarth's proposed moves elsewhere fell through, he re-signed for the club in September 2002 on a week-to-week contract. Despite this, he spent two days on trial with Premier League club Newcastle United in late September 2002. Howarth's first appearance of 2002–03 came in a 4–3 away defeat to Lincoln City on 22 October 2002 in the Football League Trophy Northern Section first round, after

Howarth left York on 5 November 2002, signing for Second Division club Tranmere Rovers for an undisclosed five-figure fee. York chairman John Batchelor later revealed the transfer fee was an initial figure of £25,000. After signing, Howarth said: "I felt I had gone a little bit stale at York and the time was right to move on". He made his debut three weeks later in a 2–1 defeat away to Cardiff City in an FA Cup first-round replay, entering as a 72nd-minute substitute after John Achterberg was sent off. Tranmere did not concede during Howarth's 18 minutes on the pitch, and his performance was positive. However, with Achterberg established in the Tranmere goal, Howarth had to wait until 4 February 2003 to make his league debut away to Cheltenham Town, coming on as a substitute in the 57th minute after Achterberg sustained an injury. He conceded twice as Tranmere lost 3–1.Howarth returned to the substitutes' bench for the following match against Swindon Town on 8 February 2003, as Achterberg had recovered from injury. His first start for Tranmere came over two months later in a 0–0 draw away to Luton Town on 5 April 2003, after Achterberg picked up an injury in training the previous day. He kept his starting place for the following match, a 1–0 victory at home to Wycombe Wanderers on 12 April 2003. Despite keeping clean sheets in both matches, he was dropped for the next match against Notts County on 19 April 2002. He finished 2002–03 with four appearances for Tranmere. Howarth continued to be kept out of the team in 2003–04, only making his first appearance after Achterberg was injured during the warm-up away to Swindon on 3 March 2004. Tranmere lost

He did not play another match for Tranmere that season. Howarth's first appearance of 2004–05 came as a 20th-minute substitute after Achterberg was injured away to Hull City on 18 December 2004. After conceding a goal scored by Ian Ashbee in the 34th minute, Howarth was injured in a challenge with Stuart Elliott, and was substituted at half-time. He was available for Tranmere's next match against Barnsley on 26 December 2004, and with Achterberg ruled out for the Christmas period with a knee injury, he started in a 1–1 home draw. This meant Howarth had a run of nine consecutive matches in goal for Tranmere, with an appearance against Oldham Athletic in the Football League Trophy Northern semi-final on 25 January 2005 being his last before Achterberg returned against Luton on 29 January. He failed to play again that season, and was released by Tranmere on 24 May 2005.Bradford City
On 8 June 2005, <mask> signed a two-year contract with League One club Bradford City. He was signed to provide competition for Donovan Ricketts, manager Colin Todd saying: "It was a position we needed filling badly. I am delighted to have got a keeper of <mask>'s calibre". Despite having the chance to affirm himself in pre-season with Ricketts away on international duty, it was Ricketts who started 2005–06 as first-choice goalkeeper. <mask> made his debut away to Rotherham United on 20 August 2005, coming on as a 27th-minute substitute after Ricketts was injured. The match finished a 1–1 draw. He made his

 first start in the subsequent 5–0 away victory over League Two club Rochdale in the League Cup first round on 23 August 2005.These were the first two appearances of a 12-match run in the team, before being dropped after nearly two months when Ricketts returned from injury against Port Vale on 15 October 2005. His last two appearances for Bradford that season, which came when Ricketts was suspended, were a 5–3 defeat at home to Barnsley in an FA Cup second-round replay on 13 December 2005 and a 2–1 defeat at home to Rotherham four days later. Howarth finished his first season at Bradford with a career-record 15 appearances. After starting 2006–07 as second-choice to Ricketts, Howarth sought a loan away from Bradford for first-team football, saying: "It is approaching make or break in terms of my career. I need to start playing regularly again as soon as possible". Former club York, by this time playing in the Conference National, made a failed bid to sign him on loan in September 2006. Howarth's first and only appearance of the season, a 2–1 defeat at home to Scunthorpe in the Football League Trophy Northern Section first round on 17 October 2006, proved to be the last of his career.He was released by Bradford on 9 May 2007 and subsequently retired from professional football aged 25.

International career

England under-16
Howarth received his first international call-up when he was included in the England national under-16 team to play Turkey on 12 January 1999.

Howarth's next international call-up came over a year later when being selected for the under-18s for a match against Luxembourg on 27 April 2000, this time being one of two players with clubs below the top two divisions. He debuted after coming on as a 60th-minute substitute for Evans, in a 2–0 victory for England.<mask> was then called up for a friendly with Israel on 1 September, although he did not feature as Evans was chosen to start. In September 2000, he was named in the team that would participate in a 2001 UEFA European Under-18 Championship qualifying mini-tournament hosted in Ancona, Italy. He failed to appear in the first match against Andorra on 7 October 2000, but made his first start in the next match, a 5–0 victory over the Faroe Islands on 9 October. <mask> was excluded from the line-up for the final match against Italy, which England won to progress to the intermediate qualifying round. <mask> was called up for a friendly at home to Belgium on 16 November 2000, which he started as England won 3–2, despite Evans having seemingly established himself as the first-choice goalkeeper for the under-18s. He was included in the squad for another friendly against the Netherlands on 1 March 2001, although Evans was chosen to play ahead of Howarth. He was called into the squads to play Poland in the intermediate qualifying round, although he failed to play a part in either leg of the tie, as Evans started in both the 1–0 home loss on 22 March 2001 and the 0–0 away draw on 26 April.With Evans omitted from

Howarth was ineligible to play for the under-19 team due to an alteration to the England set-up, and was subsequently called up for the under-20 match against Portugal at home on 21 November 2001. The match was England's first at under-20 level since the 1999 FIFA World Youth Championship. He started the match and was substituted for Myhill at half-time, with the team winning 1–0. <mask> came on for England as a half-time substitute for Evans in a 3–0 home victory over Finland on 13 March 2002, in their penultimate friendly ahead of the 2002 Toulon Tournament. A call-up came for the final friendly away to Portugal on 10 April 2002, and he entered as a half-time substitute, this time for Myhill.After originally being left out the squad, he was given a last-minute call-up to play at the Toulon Tournament in May 2002, after Stephen Bywater was called up for the under-21 team. <mask> did not play in the first group match against Poland on 10 May 2002 as Bywater started, but in the second match against Portugal he was chosen ahead of Evans in a 1–0 victory over Portugal on 12 May.

<mask> (born July 1965 in Oulu), also known as Michael Maria Pentholm and currently Michael Penttilä, is a Finnish serial killer. According to Alibi (a Finnish crime magazine), he is the only Finn that fits FBI's description of a serial killer. Despite his danger, <mask> has repeatedly been released, even with the risk of a new death, and has been the subject of much criticism from people for the over-lax functioning of the Finnish legal system. A citizens' initiative to reinforce Lindholm's sentence has also been launched. Adolescent crimes
In November 1981, he kidnapped a 15-year-old girl and forced her into a basement, where he beat her, choked her with scarves and threatened to rape her. He wore black leather gloves during the attack. The girl managed to escape, and despite the 15-year-old Lindholm receiving no fines, earlier thefts and attacks led him to the Kerava Youth Facility in 1984.He was released in 1985. The first murders
<mask> killed his mother, 48-year-old barmaid Laina Lahja Orvokki Lindholm in their apartment in Oulu on August 26, 1985. Both <mask> and his mother's male friend were suspected in the murder – the crime was, however, initially ignored. The next murder Lindholm committed was on July 26, 1986. He met two 12-year-old girls down town and persuaded them to "come to his apartment so he could lend them a few marks for alcohol". Within his residence in Oulu, he locked one of the girls in the bathroom. The other girl, Titta Marjaana Kotaniemi, was knocked down on the floor and was choked to death.After some time, <mask> released the other girl from the bathroom and sexually assaulted her. The girl escaped his grasp and ran from the apartment to the stairway, while Lindholm fled to the nearby forest where the police soon caught him. He was drunk, with 1.75 on the BAC scale. In connection with the murder of Kotaniemi, <mask> confessed to the police that he was mistreated by

 his mother. According to his statement, he had worn the blue leather gloves and the red-coloured scarf of his mother before doing so. He was angered by the fact that his mother had not been able to release him from youth facility and that she had been dating a new man, preferring to live with him rather than his father. Later, in the Oulu court, he recanted his confession and claimed he had been using multiple psychoactive drugs at once.The Oulu District Court issued its judgment on March 17, 1987. The court ruled that <mask> <mask> had been guilty of two charges of manslaughter as well as other crimes, condemning him for 9 years and 7 months imprisonment. However, the Rovaniemi Appellate Court held the case Laina <mask>'s death was not a murder and instead an assault or negligent homicide, and reduced the sentence to 7 years imprisonment. Third murder
Lindholm was granted parole in May 1992. On May 31, 1993, he choked a 42-year-old woman with a cloth belt in her Kempele apartment. <mask> at first objected sharply to the act, claiming that somebody had set him up. On June 23, 1993, he escaped from the Oulu County Police Station with another man.The Oulu District Court considered <mask> to be completely sane, and sentenced him to 9.5 years imprisonment on December 13, 1993. Following the judgment of the District Court, Lindholm contacted the investigators. He admitted to having killed the woman, but it was an accident. According to him, he had proposed explicit sex and explained that he was playing around the neck before realising that she had died due to choking. Lindholm had wandered off to his mother's grave after the murder, staying there for a few hours. The Appellate Court subsequently changed the sentence to 10.5 years, sending Lindholm to a special institution. According to psychiatric reports, Lindholm admired the primordial, violent manhood of his teenage years – despite starting to wear

 dresses and women's underwear while in prison.The head of the Hämeenlinna Center forbade this, and Lindholm subsequently complained to the Parliament's ombudsman. Freedom and new troubles
Lindholm was released on parole in November 2008. Prior to his release, he was subjected to treatment, which came to a conclusion that he was not yet ready for civilian life. In prison, he married Hannele Pentholm, who was sentenced to life imprisonment for her husband's murder. They were married for a couple of years. Since then, he renamed himself to Michael Maria Pentholm, who invited a woman to his house in May 2009. There, he tried to choke the woman with both his hands from behind.In August 2009, Pentholm bought an Oulu apartment in Toppila via a professional jury magazine announcement. He began to choke a woman while erecting a massage table in the apartment's living room. A third such case occurred in September 2009: Pentholm had ordered a cleaner for his apartment and began to choke her, but she managed to escape and immediately alert the police. On June 11, 2010, the Oulu District Court sentenced Pentholm to six years' imprisonment for three attempted manslaughters and numerous assaults. Authorities ordered Pentholm to sit through his whole sentence because, according to a mental study, he was regarded as a very dangerous offender. In April 2011, the Rovaniemi Appellate Court considered Pentholm to have committed only three aggravated assaults, lowering the sentence to 4 years and 5 months. At the same time, the Appellate Court ruled that the prerequisites for ordering Pentholm to sit out his punishment as a whole in jail did not exist.On March 2, 2012, the Oulu District Court condemned Pentholm for 4 years and 4 months for serious rape, gross ill-treatment and false imprisonment. The cruel rape and false imprisonment had taken place on August 21–22, 2009 at a hotel in Oulu, and the assault in a

 company in the period from May 1–31, 2009 in Pentholm's Oulu apartment in Myllyoja. The authorities ordered Pentholm to execute his full sentence in jail, and the Appellate Court upheld the verdict in October 2012. On Tuesday, October 13, 2015, the now renamed Michael Penttilä escaped from Laukaa's open prison during a prisoner shopping trip, but was caught the following day. He was granted parole in the spring of 2016. Penttilä's jail sentence was prolonged due to the absences and the entire term of his sentence was changed to imprisonment in a closed prison. Penttilä was released in 2016 on Christmas.In April 2017, the police ordered for Penttilä to be arrested again for alleged aggravated crime and the preparation of a criminal offense, but the Helsinki District Court released him during the investigation. In May 2017, the Helsinki Appellate Court annulled the decision and Penttilä was rearrested. On July 7, 2017, the Helsinki District Court dismissed the prosecution of an aggravated criminal offense or a health offense and ordered Penttilä to be released. In May 2018, the Appellate Court changed the decision and Penttilä was sentenced to 2 years and 6 months imprisonment, and to pay the victim a compensation of 4,000 euros. On April 13, 2018, Penttilä killed a sex worker in a Helsinki apartment. The victim was found on May 4 and Penttilä was arrested two days later in Helsinki, suspected of murder. On May 17, 2018 the police announced that Penttilä had admitted during interrogations that he had committed a homicide.In July, the Helsinki District Court sentenced him to life imprisonment for murder. He had held steady discretion in the murders, using several tools such as leather belts, tights or his bare hands. Penttilä later announced that he would appeal the court's decision. See also

<mask> (born 1959) is a Singaporean contemporary artist based in Australia whose practice spans installation, painting, and performance art. <mask> is most known for her public artworks and installations that examine ideas of disembodiment, the postcolonial, and the environmental in response to space, context and architecture. <mask> was the co-founder and artistic director of the significant Singaporean artist-run initiative and space, 5th Passage (1991-1994). She was one of four artists selected to exhibit at Singapore's first national pavilion at the 49th Venice Biennale in 2001, alongside Henri Chen KeZhan, Salleh Japar, and Matthew Ngui. She was the only woman artist to have represented at the Singapore Pavilion for the art biennale in Venice until 2022, with Shubigi Rao to represent Singapore then. She has exhibited widely on the international circuit, participating in exhibitions such as the 6th Havana Biennale in Cuba, The 2nd Asia-Pacific Triennial (APT2) in Australia, the 6th Gwangju Biennale in South Korea, the 5th Seoul International Media Art Biennale in South Korea, ZKM's Thermocline of Art 2007 in Germany, and OÖ Kulturquartier's Hohenrausch 2014 in Austria. Education and personal life
Born the youngest of more than 10 children, <mask> was adopted by the second wife of her biological aunt's husband.Her adoptive mother was a housewife and her adoptive father, who had five other children, ran a transport business. <mask> knew little about her biological father, though she was aware that he painted movie banners, and her biological mother was a housewife. In the 1970s, after completing her GCE 'O' Levels at Fairfield Methodist Girls' School, <mask> searched for a job and enrolled in a secretarial course, though she did not get the opportunity to apply her skills. At the age of 19, she became a housewife, marrying her now ex-husband. 7 years later at the age of 26, she enrolled at LASALLE College of the Arts while still married. In 1990, <mask> graduated with an Associate Diploma of Fine

 Art (Painting) from LASALLE College of the Arts. She would leave Singapore in the mid-1990s to study in Australia, obtaining her Bachelor of Fine Arts in 1997, her Master of Fine Arts in 2000, and be awarded her Doctor of Philosophy in 2008, all from the University of Western Sydney (now known as Western Sydney University).Career

Early career
In 1988, <mask> and her LASALLE College of the Arts classmates took over a stretch of Orchard Road with their abstract prints and paintings, holding a small exhibition by displaying their work on the ground. A stranger who walked by their roadside exhibition, who then owned a picture-frame shop in Orchard Point, was taken by the students' works and sponsored a proper show in the shopping centre. The exhibition attracted so much attention that its run was extended, with all works sold. 5th Passage and after

Following her graduation from art school in 1990, <mask> approached the management of Parkway Parade shopping centre in 1991 to enquire about a space to display art, and was offered a two-year, rent-free lease for a fifth-floor passageway which she proposed to turn into a contemporary art space. From 1991 to 1994, 5th Passage would support performance art, installation, music, photography, and design, also organising public readings and forums. In particular, it focussed on issues of gender and identity, and on the work of women artists. <mask> and fellow artist Susie Lingham would serve as co-founders and co-artistic directors of the space.During the final days of 1993, 5th Passage held the Artists' General Assembly (AGA) festival at their Parkway Parade space, co-organising the event with The Artists Village. Here, Josef Ng's Brother Cane performance work was staged and sensationalised in local newspapers as an obscene act. Following the public outcry, 5th Passage was charged with breaching the conditions of its Public Entertainment License, blacklisted from funding by Singapore's National Arts Council, and evicted from its Parkway Parade site. Described

texts:
 as one of the "darkest moments of Singapore’s contemporary art scene", the incident led to a ten-year no-funding rule for performance art, a ruling lifted only in 2003. Later in 1994, 5th Passage received a ten-month offer to curate shows at vacant shop units in the Pacific Plaza shopping centre, which the initiative took up. Here, <mask> produced a series of performative installations that grieved for the silencing of 5th Passage and all Singapore artists. <mask>'s works from this series, such as His Mother is a Theatre and Expense of Spirit in a Waste of Shame were acquired by the Singapore Art Museum as soon as it was shown, becoming significant works within Singapore's history of contemporary art.Around a year after 5th Passage's programmes at Pacific Plaza, the founder-directors of the initiative left for further studies and the group disbanded, with <mask> leaving for Australia. In 1998, <mask> performed Still Waters (between estrangement and reconciliation) at the Singapore Art Museum for exhibition and residency project, ARX5: Processes. It was an uncommon publicly-staged performance work between 1994 and 2003, described by <mask> as a work responding to the de facto performance art ban and the loss of the 5th Passage space. In 2001, <mask> was selected as one of four artists to exhibit at Singapore's first national pavilion at the 49th Venice Biennale, the first and only woman artist to have represented at the Singapore Pavilion for the art biennale in Venice until 2022, when Shubigi Rao was selected to represent Singapore.

 the work, such as in her 1994 works His Mother is a Theatre and Expense of Spirit in a Waste of Shame.Such works are highly performative in nature, often utilising kinetic and aural elements. Issues of gender, marginalisation, and abjection are significant themes explored—in her 1998 performance work, Still Waters (between estrangement and reconciliation), <mask> performed within the drains of the Singapore Art Museum, the role of which <mask> explores in her doctorate thesis, Abjection: Weapon of the Weak, writing:Such drains were a relic of the building's colonial architecture, made purposeless by retrofitted glass walls that turned a once-exposed balcony on the second-floor into a sealed, controlled air-conditioned space for artworks. The position of the artist's body within this liminal space, half-submerged in drain water, spoke to the role of performance art with its de facto ban in Singapore; the spectre of coloniality upon the postcolonial body; as well as the marginalised presence of women artists in the male-dominated art landscape of the time. Awards and collections
In 1988, <mask> was awarded the Australian Bicentennial "Highly Commended Award" from the National Museum of Singapore. Later in 1989, she received the IBM Merit Prize from Singapore's Ministry of Communications and Information. In 1995, <mask> was awarded the Singapore International Foundation Art Award. Her work can be found in the collections of the Singapore Art Museum, the Australian High Commission in Singapore, the University of Western Sydney in Australia, the Singapore Armed Forces Reservist Association, the Ministry of Information and the Arts in Singapore, the Takahasi Corporation in Japan and Ernst & Young, among others.References

<mask>, OBE (14 January 1932 – 4 March 2007) was a British sports journalist. He was with the Daily Mail for nearly 50 years. Biography
Born in New Milton, Hampshire, <mask> left Brockenhurst Grammar School with two school certificates, for English and art. After National Service and an apprenticeship on newspapers in New Milton and Bournemouth, he became a reporter on the News Chronicle in 1956. After a spell with the Sunday Dispatch, he moved to the Daily Mail, which absorbed the News Chronicle in 1960. Early Fleet Street career
Initially a cricket correspondent at the Mail, from 1972 <mask> wrote a weekly column which spread to other sports. He covered 10 Olympic Games, including the Sarajevo Winter Olympics in 1984.Writing before those games, he predicted a tragedy, but changed his mind after being there, saying they were amongst the best he had ever seen. He covered the Munich Olympics in 1972, and caused resentment among British runners with a brutish and insensitive attack on David Bedford; it emerged that he had had to take some ribbing from foreign journalists over Bedford's failure in the 10,000 metres. As well as the Olympics, <mask> covered Wimbledon tennis championships, heavyweight boxing world title bouts, football World Cups, Open and US Masters golf championships and America's Cups for the paper. His America's Cup reporting opened the sport to a wide audience beyond sailing enthusiasts. He was assisted by PR and friend David Redfern, of whom he said "with his help, the eyes of Coronation Street as well as the Squadron are on the Cup", but in reality it was <mask>'s writing and interest that was the key. The last Olympics he covered was in Sydney in 2000. He branched into other areas, writing on a revolution in Portugal, flying with the RAF's Red Arrows, riding the Cresta Run, sparring with Ugandan dictator Idi Amin, and running the bulls at Pamplona.<mask> was newspaper columnist of the year twice, sportswriter of the year five times and sports feature writer of the year four times. His first job had

 been on the New Milton Advertiser, covering the funeral of a coal merchant; he intercepted every mourner to write down his or her name – holding up the interment by more than half an hour. According to his obituary in The Daily Telegraph, <mask> was sent to Alaska to cover the 1,100-mile dog sled race from Anchorage to Nome, travelling with a photographer in a one-engine aircraft steered by an old bush pilot. "You slept where you could", <mask> later recalled. "In trappers' huts with bare wire bedsteads to sleep on, cooking up horsemeat over a fire... We stayed with Eskimo families, Indian families – there were no hotels." <mask> ghosted a syndicated column for golfer Max Faulkner. Once, needing a good anecdote about Faulkner's Open success, he invented a story about the golfer just before he had teed off in the final round: Faulkner, he wrote, had scrawled "Open Champion 1949" on a ball which he handed to a young autograph hunter.Years later <mask> met American writer George Plimpton, who had come across the story. "Great tale", said Plimpton admiringly. "Total nonsense", <mask> replied. Television career
<mask> made over 120 documentaries for various broadcasters, including the BBC. Titles of these include: Wooldridge on Whiskey; In the Highest Tradition; The Great Fishing Race; Behind the Lines; Trooping the Colour; and The British Challenge for the America's Cup 1983. His heyday was during the late 1970s and early 1980s. He also did a lot of voiceovers, most memorably for the British Gas advert that involved a baby swimming under water.Opposition to apartheid
<mask> was an anti-apartheid advocate, supporting sportswriter John Arlott at the Cambridge Union in 1969 in speaking against sport with South Africa. His opposition dated from his first cricket tour to South Africa. During the Port Elizabeth Test match, black South Africans were not only refused entry but beaten up by police. Because of problems with telephones, <mask> had to contact his London office from the committee room. Frank Keating, in The Guardian,

 recalled: "He had written his piece; now he had to read it at the top of his voice in the presence of about 30 hard-faced members of the republic's ruling broederband... as all 30 pairs of ears listened in the chilly, unwelcoming atmosphere, he took a deep breath and dictated: 'The wretchedly awful face of apartheid was displayed here today when...'"

Awards
In the British Press Awards he was Columnist of the Year in 1975 and 1976; and Sportswriter of the Year in 1972, 1974, 1981 and 1989. The Sports Journalists' Association made him Sportswriter of the Year for 1986, 1987 and 1995; and it chose him as Sports Feature Writer of the Year in 1990 and 1996. As Alan Sugar remarked during a libel action against the Daily Mail, journalists' awards were decided by fellow journalists and "were like a lot of thieves deciding who pulled off the best bank job of the year."In May 2006, he won the London Press Club's Edgar Wallace award for outstanding reporting. The Press Club's chairman, Donald Trelford, described <mask> as "more than just a sports writer, he is a journalist of the highest calibre and a master of the written word". Death and legacy
<mask> died from cancer. His memorial service was at the Guards Chapel, Wellington Barracks, London on Wednesday 27 July 2007. Hugh McIlvanney, in The Sunday Times, wrote:

It is an honour to have worked in the same era as <mask>, a precious privilege to have known him as a friend for more than 40 years. Though he would have snorted at the suggestion, he repeatedly pulled off the minor miracle of making our way of getting a living seem like a proper job for a grown-up person. <mask>'s youngest son, Max, is a UK-based travel writer.References

Lieutenant Colonel Sir <mask>  (1842–18 September 1912) was a London businessman, politician, magistrate and a driving force behind the establishment of Pimm's as an international brandname. Early life
Son of H. D<mask> Esq, he was educated as a poor scholar at Edward Alleyn's original 'College of God's Gift in Dulwich', founded in 1619. The school was always known colloquially as 'Dulwich College', and the original buildings where <mask> was taught are now The Old College and Almshouses in Dulwich Village. Alleyn's charitable foundation was renamed Alleyn's College of God's Gift in 1857 (when <mask> was aged around 15), and was split into Upper and Lower schools. The Upper School moved into new premises in 1870 (formally becoming Dulwich College in 1882), with the Lower School remaining in the old buildings until 1887 when it moved into its new (and current) premises, becoming Alleyn's School. Horatio maintained that, as a small boy, he had seen the bones of the founder of Dulwich College, Edward Alleyn, when his tomb was moved. After completing his education at Dulwich College he was apprenticed as an engraver for seven years, but relinquished the career because it did not seem to afford a wide enough field to his activity and ambition.His later career was both of a political and business nature. He was said to have been in his enterprises loyal to his old friends but he disliked the intrusion of newcomers. He was for many year an officer of the 3rd Middlesex Artillery Volunteers, and retired with the rank of an honorary Lieutenant Colonel with the Volunteer Decoration. Business career

 success. Crosby Hall, the old palace of Richard III dates from 1466. It is one of the City's oldest buildings and the only surviving medieval merchant house in the City of London. It was turned into a restaurant by Frederick Gordon & Co. in 1868.The previous tenants for seven years had been H. R. Williams, wine merchants, who stored imported wine in the crypt and vault. In 1871 the whole of the property was put up for auction by the Freeman family, descendants of William Freeman, a sugar merchant born on St. Kitts in 1656 who had bought the freehold in 1692. Although much of the estate was sold, including houses in Bishopsgate Street, Crosby Square and Great St. Helen's, the hall was bought in at £22,500, and sold privately to the current tenants Messrs. Gordon & Co. for about £37,000. It was elaborately restored to plans by the architects F. and H. Francis. Following these ventures, Gordon went on to found the Gordon Hotels Group. Horatio was also noted as owning the 'Ship and Turtle' in Leadenhall Street. He later sold Crosby Hall - one of the City's most ancient buildings, which had previously been saved a number of times from destruction, in April 1907 to the Chartered Bank of India, Australia, and China to make way for a new bank building.Its impending demolition aroused a huge protest from individuals and the papers. The building was finally dismantled in 1910 and rebuilt in Cheyne Walk, Chelsea. Pimm's

James Pimm, a shellfishmonger with premises in Poultry, London had invented the Pimms beverage as an aid to digesting the oysters his business was selling. In 1880, <mask> purchased the business from Frederick Sawyer who had owned it since 1865, and a chain of Pimm's

 Oyster Houses was franchised in 1887. The brand was expanded as <mask> started the process of bottling the 'Number One Cup' for other establishments to sell. He also expanded the chain to five Pimm's restaurants. Gradually, an export business was built up, so that by the time of Sir Horatio's death in 1912, Pimm's cocktail was known internationally, especially in the British Empire.Political career
<mask> was actively involved in the law, and in local and national politics. He was an Alderman in London. His first connection with the Court of Common Council was his election as representative of the Ward of Cheap in 1885. Four years later he became a member of the Court of Aldermen for Bishopsgate, and was soon chosen to serve as Sheriff of London and Middlesexin 1887. His name appears as an Alderman on a plaque commemorating the opening of Tower Bridge in 1894. He was Master of the Worshipful Company of Loriners, Master of the Worshipful Company of Spectacle Makers in 1897, the same year as he served as Lord Mayor of London. His old school in the form of the Dulwich College Rifle Volunteer Corps (a forerunner of the present day CCF), took part in his Lord Mayor's Show in 1897.He was said to have entertained more lavishly than any other occupant of the Mansion House. 1897 was also the year of Queen Victoria Golden Jubilee, and he welcomed the Queen to the City of London as part of the celebrations. He was knighted at the close of his mayoralty as a . His first attempt to enter Parliament was for Rochester as a Tory in 1889, but Edward Knatchbull-Hugessen defeated him.

 scandal. Standing again for the same constituency he was returned as an MP in the July 1892 general election he topped the poll, only to be unseated after an electoral petition in December that year. The election was declared void, and a by-election was held in 1893, with Viscount Cranborne being returned unopposed.He held on to his seat for Chatham from 1895 to 1906 as a member of the Conservative Party. He was returned unopposed in the 1900 general election, but lost in the 1906 election to John Jenkins, one of 29 MPs of the Labour Representation Committee, the predecessor of the Labour Party. In 1898 he was also a magistrate for Kent and one of Her Majesty's Lieutenants for London. As a magistrate he was regarded as just, but severe to wrong-doers, while tender-hearted for cases of distress. He was made an Officer of the Legion of Honour. He was knighted as a Knight Commander of the Order of St Michael and St George (KCMG) in 1898. He was much travelled, and had recently returned from a trip to South Africa before his death at Watcombe Hall, Torquay, Devon on 18 September 1912.Watcombe Hall is a large stuccoed villa on the south-east side of Watcombe Park, created by Isambard K. Brunel out of farmland purchased between 1847 and 1858. The estate, comprising 500 acres (208ha), was sold in 1876 to a Nottingham banker and MP, Colonel Charles Ichabod Wright. Personal life

In 1867 he married Lizzie, the sister of his business partner Frederick Gordon (and the daughter of Charles John Gordon). After her death in 1907 he married Pauline Marie Boniface in 1909. He bought the estate of Colwick Hall, Nottinghamshire in 1888, ending the Musters family's 238 years of ownership.

 <mask> held Colwick Hall and the lower part of the Park area for a short time only before selling it to a leisure and sporting syndicate which laid out a course for horse racing, opening it to the public in 1892. The hall and racecourse were later purchased by Nottingham City Council, and the hall became a public house.He bought Wateringbury Place, near Maidstone, Kent in 1890 for £20,000. He was an art lover and a discriminating purchaser of pictures, and filled the house with famous works of art. One of these was Glaucus and Scylla, one of a pair of tondos by Turner, purchased after 1883 for about £570. He sold it in 1901. He also owned a large collection of antique silverware including porringers of the time of "William the Dutchman," antique goblets, vinaigrettes, and the like "in almost endless profusion". He also owned a solid gold bowl once the property of King Thibaw Min, and an extensive assortment of rings, Oriental fetishes and other graven golden images and knick knacks. <mask> was an Officer of the Légion d'honneur and a leading Freemason.He was a member of both the Carlton Club and the Junior Carlton Club.

<mask>, ARCA, FRIBA (13 June 1876 – 2 June 1943) was a Canadian-American architect based in Nova Scotia. In his day, <mask> was one of the most renowned architects in Atlantic Canada. He is one of the first élèves of the École des Beaux Arts to practice architecture in the region and his homes and buildings are famous for their exterior aesthetic appeal, comfortable interiors, well-crafted details and built-in furniture. <mask> was born in Brooklyn, New York, son of an American father and a Canadian mother. He was 14 when his father died, and he moved to his mother's home province of Nova Scotia, settling in Greenwich, Kings County. He completed his schooling in nearby Horton School and later attended Acadia University. He won a scholarship to the School of Architecture at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology where he earned BSc and MSc degrees (1904).He worked in Cleveland, Ohio for the next few years, contributing to the design of, among other projects, the Cuyahoga County Court House. He spent 1907, 1908, and 1909 in Paris where he attended the École des Beaux Arts. During his vacations, he "toured the Continent", spending time in Italy, France and England studying architecture. Returning to Halifax from Paris he entered into a partnership with Halifax-born architect Sydney P. Dumaresq. The partnership was dissolved in 1912 by which time both men had established sufficient reputations to strike out on their own. He worked mainly in Nova Scotia and was busy until he was killed at the age of 68. He and three others were killed instantly when the city bus on which they were travelling was struck by a car.<mask>'s work and career was documented by Halifax historian Janet Kitz in a 2014 biography, <mask>: Architect and Artist.

Built by Rhodes and Curry of Amherst, Nova Scotia, it was used as an infirmary and a sanctuary for the homeless after the Halifax Explosion. Dozens of trees were planted surrounding the building and they are now protected as heritage trees. Greenvale School has a list of firsts, including the first kindergarten class in Canada. It was Dartmouth's first high school in 1934.First Baptist Church of Dartmouth,

 built in 1922, (replacing the original church, which was built in 1843 and destroyed in the 1917 explosion). The stones used are rubble stone and the walls are 30-inches thick, which enabled the building to withstand the concussions of another explosion (at the military magazine) in July 1945 without damage. Corner Brook, Newfoundland - the largest commission of his career, he designed worker housing for the Newfoundland Pulp and Paper Company, which was constructing what was, up to that time, the largest project ever undertaken in the history of paper making. Many of the structures were inspired by the Arts and Crafts Movement. Townsite, as the development was known, contained over 175 houses and was laid out by Thomas Adams. The Glynmill Inn, designed in 1923. Constructed by the English firm of Armstrong-Whitworth Co., is certainly the town's best-known building.Designed as a staff residence for Armstrong-Whitworth supervising employees. <mask> designed the Tudor-style house and in his honor the street leading to it was named <mask> Lane. A spot was reserved for the inn on the outskirts of Corner Brook between the townsite and the mill. Glynmill Inn is the finest building of its type in Western Newfoundland, and one of the best examples of a Tudor-inspired building in the province. The original Tudor Style half-timbering is still in place. The interior design was influenced by the Craftsman Style and remains relatively intact with few alterations. 710 Prince Street, Truro, Nova Scotia, built 1924.This is an example of a well-designed and well-crafted Tudor Revival House. Mount Allison University, Sackville, New Brunswick

After the fire, the foundation and some walls remained standing and <mask> incorporated them into the reconstructed building which officially opened in January 1934. It is currently in excellent condition and an extensive project was completed in recent years on the foundation to prevent deterioration due to water infiltration to ensure that the building remains that way over the long term. Mount Allison Science Building: In the early 1930s, <mask> was selected to design Mount Allison's Science Building (now known as the Biology Building.)The University has done extensive work on the exterior in recent years to ensure that the building can be maintained over the long term. Work has included installation of a 50-year roof, re-pointed stonework, and land contour work to ensure that water flows away from and not towards the building as it had done previously. Mount Allison has also done three major projects on the inside of the building in recent years, including most recently a project to renew one of the research laboratories in the building. Memorial Hall (originally Memorial Library, renamed the University Centre in 1970), Mount Allison University, Sackville, New Brunswick was constructed in 1927 in the Tudor Revival style. The original set of brass plaques that were located in the building have been moved to the Wallace McCain Student Centre and registered with the Canadian Forces' National Inventory of Canadian Military Memorials (#13002-004). In May 2011, the New Brunswick government issued notice of its intention to designate the building a Provincial Heritage Place, giving it protection from alteration or destruction; then,


texts:
 following a submission from the university, the Minister withdrew his notice, claiming that neither the building's heritage value nor its memorial nature met provincial criteria for provincial designation. The government has so far refused to release the evidence on which it based its decision, citing "privacy and financial issues".In October 2011, it was reported in the Argosy newspaper that the university refused a donation from philanthropist and alumna Joan Carlisle-Irving the previous August of $5 million to preserve Memorial Hall, which was the amount the university claimed was needed to restore the building. The University categorically denied that it was ever offered a donation from a donor to retain the building. The building was demolished in November 2011. Other contributions

<mask> "Lina<mask> (September 22, 1830 – October 30, 1908) was a prominent American socialite of the second half of the 19th century who led the Four Hundred. Famous for being referred to later in life as "the Mrs. Astor" or simply "Mrs. Astor", she was the wife of businessman, racehorse breeder/owner, and yachtsman <mask>. She was the mother of five children, including Colonel <mask> IV, who perished on the RMS Titanic. Through her marriage, she was a prominent member of the <mask> family and matriarch of the male line of American Astors. Early life

Lina was born on September 22, 1830 into a wealthy family who were part of New York City's Dutch aristocracy, descendants of the city's original settlers. Her father, <mask> (1783–1850), and the extended <mask> family were engaged in shipping. At the time of Lina's birth, Abraham was worth half a million dollars. Her mother was Helen Van Courtlandt (née White) <mask> (1792–1881).Lina was the couple's ninth child. Her older sister Elizabeth married General James I. Jones, who owned a vast farm in upper Manhattan called Jones's Wood. Her maternal grandparents were Henry White and Anne (née Van Cortlandt) White. Her paternal grandparents were <mask> and Elizabeth (née Bussing) <mask>. Among her extended Schermerhorn family was first cousin, William Colford <mask>, the father of <mask> Kane, wife of John Innes Kane (a great-grandson of John Jacob <mask>). At the time of her birth, her family lived at 1 Greenwich Street, near the Bowling Green, but the population growth and increasing urbanization of lower Manhattan in the 1830s led her family to move farther north to 36 Bond Street, near the ultra fashionable "Lafayette Place," which had been developed by her future husband's paternal grandfather, fur-trader John Jacob <mask>. Young Lina was educated at a school run by Mrs. Bensee, a French emigree.There she learned to speak

 French fluently. Marriage and family

On September 23, 1853, she married William Backhouse <mask> Jr. (1829–1892) at Trinity Church. Her husband was the middle son of real estate businessman William Backhouse <mask> Sr. and Margaret Alida Rebecca Armstrong. His paternal grandfather was John Jacob <mask> and his maternal grandparents were Senator John Armstrong Jr. and Alida (née Livingston) Armstrong, daughter of Robert Livingston of the Livingston family. Her husband's family, the Astors, had made a fortune initially through the fur trade, and later through investing in New York City real estate. Despite the wealth of the Astor family, Lina had the superior pedigree as a member of an old Knickerbocker family. Together, they had five children:
 <mask> (1854–1881), who married James John Van Alen (1848–1923), a sportsman/politician, and had three children
 <mask> <mask> (1855–1893), who married James Roosevelt "Rosy" Roosevelt (1854–1927), a diplomat and the elder half-brother of future President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and had two children
 Charlotte Augusta <mask> (1858–1920), who married James Coleman Drayton and had three children.She later married George Ogilvy Haig

Socialite
Although popularly imagined as wholly preoccupied with "Society", for the first several decades of her married life, Lina <mask> was principally occupied with raising her five children and running her household, as was typical of women of her class

 in mid-19th-century New York City. Due to an inheritance from her parents, Lina had her own money, thus she was far less dependent on her husband than most American women of the time. In 1862, she and her husband built a four-bay townhouse in the newly fashionable brownstone style at 350 Fifth Avenue, the present site of the Empire State Building. The home was next door to her husband's elder brother, John Jacob <mask> III; the two families were next-door neighbors for 28 years, although the Astor brothers' wives did not get along. The Astors also maintained a grand "summer cottage" in Newport, Rhode Island, called Beechwood, which had a ballroom large enough to fit "The 400" – the most fashionable socialites of the day. The Gatekeeper

In the decades following the Civil War the population of New York City grew almost exponentially, and immigrants and wealthy  arrivistes from the Midwest began challenging the dominance of the old New York Establishment. Aided by the social arbiter Ward McAllister, Lina attempted to codify proper behavior and etiquette, as well as determine who was acceptable among the arrivistes for an increasingly heterogeneous city.They were the champions of old money and tradition. McAllister once stated that, amongst the vastly rich families of Gilded Age New York, there were only 400 people who could be counted as members of Fashionable Society. He did not, as is commonly written, arrive at this number based on the limitations of Mrs. Astor's New York City ballroom. (McAllister, an Astor cousin by marriage, referred to her as the "Mystic Rose".) Her husband's lack of interest in the social whirl did not stop but instead fueled her burgeoning social activities, which increased in intensity as her children grew older. Lina was the foremost authority on the "Aristocracy" of New York in the late nineteenth century. She held ornate and elaborate

 parties for herself and other members of the elite New York socialite crowd.None was permitted to attend these gatherings without an official calling card from her. Lina's social groups were dominated by strong-willed "aristocratic" females. These social gatherings were dependent on overly conspicuous luxury and publicity. More so than the gatherings themselves, importance was highly placed upon the group as the upper-crust of New York's elite. She and her ladies therefore represented the "Aristocratic", or the Old Money, whereas the newly wealthy Vanderbilt family would establish a new wave of New Money. Relationship with the Vanderbilts
The Vanderbilts, as members of socialite New York through the copious amounts of money that the family had earned rather than inherited, represented a type of wealth that was abhorrent to Astor and her group. The Mrs. Astor found railroad money distasteful.For this reason, <mask> was reluctant to call upon the Vanderbilt girls. In 1883, however, <mask> was forced to formally acknowledge the wealthy socialite Alva Erskine Smith, first wife of horse breeder/railroad manager William Kissam Vanderbilt, thereby providing the Vanderbilts, the greatest "new" fortune in New York, entrance into the highest rungs of society. An oft-repeated New York legend has it that Alva Vanderbilt had planned an elaborate costume ball for her housewarming, with entertainments given by young society figures, but at the last minute notified young <mask> (Lina's youngest daughter) that she could not participate, because Astor had never formally called on Vanderbilt. Also likely, Astor had noted the rising social profile of the Vanderbilt family, led by Alva and Willie and, viewing them as useful allies in her efforts to keep New York society exclusive, had called formally on the Vanderbilts prior to Alva's lavish ball which Astor herself attended.

 Vanderbilts were subsequently invited to Astor's annual ball, a formal acknowledgement of their full acceptance into the upper echelon of New York society. Use of "Mrs. Astor"
Until 1887, Lina <mask> had been formally known as "Mrs. William Astor", but with Charlotte Augusta Gibbes' death that year, she shortened her formal title to "Mrs. Astor", as she was then the senior Mrs. Astor, the only remaining one in her generation. Charlotte's son, William Waldorf <mask>, felt that his own wife, Mary "Mamie" Dahlgren Paul, should be "the Mrs.Astor." With the death of John Jacob <mask> III in 1890, William Waldorf <mask> had inherited his father's share of the Astor holdings and, titularly, became the head of the Astor family. In his mind, this made Mamie "The Mrs. Astor." However, Mamie was eighteen years younger than Lina and lacked Lina's social power. His further attempts at challenging Lina's preeminence in New York society, however, were thwarted, and he soon moved with his family to England, where he later became a viscount. Waldorf-Astoria Hotel

In retaliation for his aunt's intransigence, William Waldorf <mask> had his father's house torn down and replaced by the first Waldorf Hotel.The hotel was specifically designed to overshadow Mrs. <mask>'s mansion, which was right next door, in an attempt to overshadow her status with it. The Waldorf Hotel was thirteen stories tall and was built in the form of a German Renaissance chateau: it thus not only overshadowed Lina, but all other structures in the neighborhood as well. Mrs. <mask> famously stated about the hotel, "There's a glorified tavern next door." Until the opulence of the Waldorf Hotel revolutionized how New York socialized publicly, polite society did not gather in public places, especially hotels. Unwilling to live next door to New York's latest sensation and public draw, she and her son, Jack, first

 contemplated tearing down her house and replacing it with livery stables. Eventually she and Jack tore down their house and erected another hotel at its site, the Astoria, and soon the two hotels merged and became the original Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. <mask> consequently built a double mansion, one of the largest ever built in New York, for her and her son, with Mrs. Astor occupying the northern residence, 841 Fifth Avenue and her son occupying the southern half, 840 Fifth Avenue.The Astors' Fifth Avenue home and the Astoria Hotel were both eventually torn down in 1927 and 1928 to make way for Temple Emanu-El and the Empire State Building, respectively. Death
By the time she moved into her new house facing Central Park, at the corner of 65th Street, her husband had died, and she lived with her son and his family. Astor spent her last several years suffering from periodic dementia. She died at age 78 on October 30, 1908, and was interred in the Trinity Church Cemetery in southern Manhattan. Her youngest daughter, Carrie, erected a commemorative 39 foot tall (11.9 m) cenotaph in her memory, in addition to her uptown burial plot. The inscription is dated A.D. MDMXIV and the cenotaph is located within the small churchyard cemetery at the intersection of Broadway and Wall Street, in which many prominent early Americans are buried. Following The Mrs. Astor's death, it reportedly took three women to fill her role in New York Society: Marion Graves Anthon Fish, the wife of Stuyvesant Fish, Theresa Fair Oelrichs, the wife of Hermann Oelrichs, and Alva Belmont, by then the wife of Oliver Belmont.References
