Abelian von Neumann algebra

In functional analysis, an abelian von Neumann algebra is a von Neumann algebra of operators on a Hilbert space in which all elements commute.

The prototypical example of an abelian von Neumann algebra is  the algebra L∞(X, μ) for μ a σ-finite measure on X realized as an algebra of operators on the Hilbert space L2(X, μ) as follows: Each f ∈ L∞(X, μ) is identified with the multiplication operator

 * $$ \psi \mapsto f \psi. $$

Of particular importance are the abelian von Neumann algebras on separable Hilbert spaces, particularly since they are completely classifiable by simple invariants.

Though there is a theory for von Neumann algebras on non-separable Hilbert spaces (and indeed much of the general theory still holds in that case) the theory is considerably simpler for algebras on separable spaces and most applications to other areas of mathematics or physics only use separable Hilbert spaces. Note that if the measure spaces (X, μ) is a standard measure space (that is X − N is a standard Borel space for some null set N and μ is a σ-finite measure) then L2(X, μ) is separable.

Classification
The relationship between commutative von Neumann algebras and measure spaces is analogous to that between commutative C*-algebras and locally compact Hausdorff spaces. Every commutative von Neumann algebra on a separable Hilbert space is isomorphic to L∞(X) for some standard measure space (X, μ) and conversely, for every standard measure space X, L∞(X) is a von Neumann algebra. This isomorphism as stated is an algebraic isomorphism. In fact we can state this more precisely as follows:

Theorem. Any abelian von Neumann algebra of operators on a separable Hilbert space is *-isomorphic to exactly one of the following
 * $$\ell^\infty(\{1,2, \ldots, n\}), \quad n \geq 1 $$
 * $$\ell^\infty(\mathbf{N}) $$
 * $$L^\infty([0,1]) $$
 * $$L^\infty([0,1] \cup \{1,2, \ldots, n\}), \quad n \geq 1 $$
 * $$L^\infty([0,1] \cup \mathbf{N}). $$

The isomorphism can be chosen to preserve the weak operator topology.

In the above list, the interval [0,1] has Lebesgue measure and the sets {1, 2, ..., n} and N have counting measure. The unions are disjoint unions. This classification is essentially a variant of Maharam's classification theorem for separable measure algebras. The version of Maharam's classification theorem that is most useful involves a point realization of the equivalence, and is somewhat of a folk theorem.

Although every standard measure space is isomorphic to one of the above and the list is exhaustive in this sense, there is a more canonical choice for the measure space in the case of abelian von Neumann algebras A: The set of all projectors is a $$\sigma$$-complete Boolean algebra, that is a pointfree $$\sigma$$-algebra. In the special case $$A=L^\infty(X,\mathfrak{A},\mu)$$ one recovers the abstract $$\sigma$$-algebra $$\mathfrak{A}/\{A \mid \mu(A)=0\}$$. This pointfree approach can be turned into a duality theorem analogue to Gelfand-duality between the category of abelian von Neumann algebras and the category of abstract $$\sigma$$-algebras.

 * Let μ and ν be non-atomic probability measures on standard Borel spaces X and Y respectively. Then there is a μ null subset N of X, a ν null subset M of Y and a Borel isomorphism

 * $$ \phi: X \setminus N \rightarrow Y \setminus M, \quad $$

 * which carries μ into ν.

Notice that in the above result, it is necessary to clip away sets of measure zero to make the result work.

In the above theorem, the isomorphism is required to preserve the weak operator topology. As it turns out (and follows easily from the definitions), for algebras L∞(X, μ), the following topologies agree on norm bounded sets:

 * 1) The weak operator topology on L∞(X, μ);
 * 2) The ultraweak operator topology on L∞(X, μ);
 * 3) The topology of weak* convergence on L∞(X, μ) considered as the dual space of L1(X, μ).

However, for an abelian von Neumann algebra A the realization of A as an algebra of operators on a separable Hilbert space is highly non-unique. The complete classification of the operator algebra realizations of A is given by spectral multiplicity theory and requires the use of direct integrals.

Spatial isomorphism
Using direct integral theory, it can be shown that the abelian von Neumann algebras of the form L∞(X, μ) acting as operators on L2(X, μ) are all maximal abelian. This means that they cannot be extended to properly larger abelian algebras. They are also referred to as Maximal abelian self-adjoint algebras (or M.A.S.A.s). Another phrase used to describe them is abelian von Neumann algebras of uniform multiplicity 1; this description makes sense only in relation to multiplicity theory described below.

Von Neumann algebras A on H, B on K are spatially isomorphic (or unitarily isomorphic) if and only if there is a unitary operator U: H → K such that

 * $$ U A U^* = B.$$

In particular spatially isomorphic von Neumann algebras are algebraically isomorphic.

To describe the most general abelian von Neumann algebra on a separable Hilbert space H up to spatial isomorphism, we need to refer the direct integral decomposition of H. The details of this decomposition are discussed in decomposition of abelian von Neumann algebras. In particular:

Theorem Any abelian von Neumann algebra on a separable Hilbert space H is spatially isomorphic to L∞(X, μ) acting on

 * $$ \int_X^\oplus H(x) \, d \mu(x) $$

for some measurable family of Hilbert spaces {Hx}x ∈ X.

Note that for abelian von Neumann algebras acting on such direct integral spaces, the equivalence of the weak operator topology, the ultraweak topology and the weak* topology on norm bounded sets still hold.

Point and spatial realization of automorphisms
Many problems in ergodic theory reduce to problems about automorphisms of abelian von Neumann algebras. In that regard, the following results are useful:

Theorem. Suppose μ, ν are standard measures on X, Y respectively. Then any involutive isomorphism

 * $$ \Phi: L^\infty(X, \mu) \rightarrow L^\infty(Y, \nu) $$

which is weak*-bicontinuous corresponds to a point transformation in the following sense: There are Borel null subsets M of X and N of Y and a Borel isomorphism

 * $$ \eta: X \setminus M \rightarrow Y \setminus N $$

such that
 * 1) η carries the measure μ into a measure  μ' on Y which is equivalent to ν in the sense that μ' and ν have the same sets of measure zero;
 * 2) η realizes the transformation Φ, that is

 * $$ \Phi (f) = f \circ \eta^{-1}. $$

Note that in general we cannot expect η to carry μ into ν.

The next result concerns unitary transformations which induce a weak*-bicontinuous isomorphism between abelian von Neumann algebras.

Theorem. Suppose μ, ν are standard measures on X, Y and

 * $$ H = \int_X^\oplus H_x d \mu(x), \quad K = \int_Y^\oplus K_y d \nu(y) $$

for measurable families of Hilbert spaces {Hx}x ∈ X, {Ky}y ∈ Y. If U : H → K is a unitary such that

 * $$ U \, L^\infty(X, \mu) \, U^* = L^\infty(Y, \nu) $$

then there is an almost everywhere defined Borel point transformation η : X → Y as in the previous theorem and a measurable family {Ux}x ∈ X of unitary operators

 * $$ U_x: H_x \rightarrow K_{\eta(x)} $$

such that

 * $$ U \bigg(\int_X^\oplus \psi_x d \mu(x) \bigg)= \int_Y^\oplus \sqrt{ \frac{d (\mu \circ \eta^{-1})}{d \nu}(y)} \ U_{\eta^{-1}(y)} \bigg(\psi_{\eta^{-1}(y)}\bigg) d \nu(y),$$

where the expression in square root sign is the Radon–Nikodym derivative of μ η−1 with respect to ν. The statement follows combining the theorem on point realization of automorphisms stated above with the theorem characterizing the algebra of diagonalizable operators stated in the article on direct integrals.

Wikipedia:Categories for deletion/Canada-place stubs

Category:Canada-place stubs was listed for deletion on January 27, 2005. The associated template was listed for deletion as well but finally resolved. There were no objections to the rename. A keep vote was recorded well after the 7 day period and only after work had begun on the rename. RedWolf 04:11, Feb 12, 2005 (UTC)

All other geography stub subcategories (bar one - see below) are in the form Foo geography stubs. This would require just a tweak of a template to make it do the same. Three reasons: 1) for consistency; 2) because not all the geography stubs are places (they include things like weather patterns, ocean currents, and earthquake fault-lines); 3) as far as I know, there is no such noun or adjective as "Canada-place". Grutness|hello?  00:16, 28 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * This should probably wait until template on Templates for deletion has been resolved as it is this template that is putting articles into this category. RedWolf 00:22, Jan 28, 2005 (UTC)
 * Although it's still not officially resolved, Template:Canada-place-stub now redirects to Template:Canada-geo-stub. In any case, although they're connected, either name of stub template could lead to either name of category. Grutness|hello? [[Image:Grutness.jpg|25px|]] 00:29, 28 Jan 2005 (UTC)

 * Template issue has been resolved. I have created Category:Canada geography stubs and updated the Template:Canada-geo-stub. Changing the category in a template does not automatically move the articles using the template. I will be using my bot to move them using the "update-no-change" process which doesn't create a new article revision but does update the category links. RedWolf 02:13, Feb 12, 2005 (UTC)
 * My vote is to keep the current category as-is. Spinboy 02:25, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Henri Chapu

Henri-Michel-Antoine Chapu (29 September 1833 – 21 April 1891) was a French sculptor in a modified Neoclassical tradition who was known for his use of allegory in his work.

Life and career
Born in Le Mée-sur-Seine into modest circumstances, Chapu moved to Paris with his family and in 1847 entered the Petit École with the intention of studying drawing and becoming an interior decorator. There his talents began to be recognized and he was admitted to the École des Beaux-Arts in 1849. In 1850 he began working and studying with a well-known sculptor James Pradier. Following Pradier's death in 1852 Chapu began studying with another sculptor, Francisque Duret. After coming in second in 1851, he won the Prix de Rome in 1855, then spent five years in Italy.

His statues Mercury of 1861 and Jeanne d'Arc of 1870 (in which she was represented as a peasant girl) were his first big successes, and led to many commissions thereafter. He is also known for his medals, and led the French revival in the medal as an artistic form.

Chapu taught at Paris' Academie Julian. Among his students was American sculptor Cyrus Dallin who studied under him in 1888-1889.

An Officer of the French Legion of Honor, Chapu died in Paris in 1891.

At least four full-scale reproductions of Jeanne d'Arc are on permanent display at universities in Virginia: in McConnell Library at Radford University in Radford, Virginia; beneath the rotunda in Ruffner Hall at Longwood University in Farmville, Virginia; at James Madison University; and at the University of Mary Washington.

Notable works

 * Monument to Henri Regnault in the courtyard of École des Beaux-Arts (1872)
 * Tomb of Marie d'Agoult (1877)
 * Four Seasons on the facade of grande magasin Printemps, Paris (1881–89), for architect Paul Sédille
 * Monument to Gustave Flaubert (1890), his last major work.

Pony of the Americas

The Pony of America is a pony breed developed in the state of Iowa in the United States. The foundation stallion was an Arabian/Appaloosa/Shetland pony cross. A breed registry was founded in 1954, and within 15 years had registered 15,000 ponies. Today, the Pony of the Americas Club is one of the largest and most active youth-oriented horse breed registrie in the US. Although called ponies, POAs have the phenotype of a small horse, combining mainly Arabian and American Quarter Horse attributes. The registry is open, allowing blood from many other breeds, but has strict criteria for entry, including Appaloosa coloration, specified height and other physical characteristics. Although mainly bred for Western riding, the breed has been used for many other disciplines, including driving, endurance riding and some English disciplines.

Breed characteristics
Ponies are only registered with the Pony of the Americas club if they have Appaloosa coloring visible from 40 ft, otherwise known as "loud" Appaloosa coloring. The coloration includes the typical leopard complex characteristics of mottling around the eyes, muzzle and genitalia, as well as visible white sclera of the eyes and striped hooves. Pinto coloration is not allowed, nor is ancestry from a breed noted for pinto coloring, such as the American Paint Horse. The facial profile of the POA is slightly concave. It is a muscular breed, with a deep chest and well-sloped shoulders. The breed averages high. Despite having the size and name "pony", the breed has the phenotype (physical characteristics) of a small horse of an American Quarter Horse/Arabian type, not a true pony breed.

The Pony of the Americas Club will register the offspring of registered POAs, as well as crosses with Connemaras, Galiceno ponies, Australian Stock Horses, Morgans and Thoroughbreds, and the original Appaloosa and Arabian breeds. These crosses are allowed into the registry as full members as long as they meet the physical breed requirements. Crosses with other breeds, including Quarter ponies, Shetland ponies, Anglo-Arabs, Spanish Mustangs and Welsh ponies, are accepted on an individual basis.

History
The POA was developed in the United States in the 1950s by Les Boomhower, a Shetland pony breeder in Iowa. The foundation stallion of the breed was an Arabian/Appaloosa/Shetland pony cross with Appaloosa markings named Black Hand. Boomhower appreciated the stallion's conformation and disposition and decided to use him to develop a new breed of Appaloosa-colored ponies. In 1954, Boomhower and a group of associations founded the Pony of the Americas Club, with Black Hand receiving the first registration number. A year later, twelve ponies and twenty-three members had been registered. The club's goal was to develop a medium-sized pony for older children and small adults, with the coloration of the Appaloosa, the refinement of the Arabian and the muscle and bone of an American Quarter Horse. Originally the height requirement called for ponies between 44 and 52 in; in 1963 this was changed to a range of 46 and 54 in, and in 1985 a final change was made to height, raising the upper limit to 56 in.

Over the first 15 years of its existence, the breed club registered 12,500 ponies. Between the founding of the breed club and the present, the early Shetland blood has been almost completely bred out, in order to maintain and improve the small stock horse look sought by the breed founders. The Pony of the Americas Club hosted its first national convention in 1988, and in 1990, the Club developed a Hall of Fame for its members and ponies. As of 2012, the Pony of the Americas Club has registered over 50,000 ponies. The Club has become one of the equine industry's largest youth-oriented breed registries, with over 2,000 members, and one of the most active, with over 40 affiliated chapters.

Although originally developed mainly for Western riding and stock uses, it has also been seen competing in endurance riding, three-day eventing, show hunter, and driving. It jumps well, and can be used for dressage. Originally, breed club shows did not allow people over the age of 16 to show POAs under saddle; adults could, however, show them in halter or driving classes. In 1973, the age limit for riders was raised to 18, and in 1987 it was decided that adults 19 and over could show horses two to four years old under saddle.

Talk:Ryan Seacrest/Archive 1

Jewish-American
Seacrest is Jewish? Where is the reference for this? I've never seen or read anything which referred to Seacrest as Jewish.

A citation is needed Manic Hispanic 03:57, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

I think his name is John Aufenstein. 63.130.195.208 20:18, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Why should Aufenstein be Jewish? Many Germans have "Stein" as their surname or part of their surname without being Jewish. In fact, Aufenstein is the name of a castle in the Austrian Tirol, which had a noble family of the same name as it's Lord. That family seems though to be long extinct.

Trivial
According to fellow show host and judge, Simon Cowell, Ryan takes the longest to have his makeup put on. Simon stated on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno that Ryan takes a total of 10 hours to put on his makeup, longer than any other of the hosts of the show. -- AllyUnion (talk) 04:21, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * I guess that's why he's the prettiest.... - Nunh-huh 04:30, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)

NOTE
Ryan's image/photo does not appear as it is supposed to when his page is accessed. 70.19.23.6 05:45, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

Fashion Designer
The Category "American Fashion Designers" is included on the page, but I see no reference to a fashion design career in the article.

The last sentence mentions his own line of designer clothes, the R Line. Chantessy 01:20, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

Swiss Americans?
Does anyone have a source that he's of significant Swiss descent? I couldn't find anything online. JackO'Lantern 18:21, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
 * I've never heard that, actually... Michael 07:07, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
 * It's bizarre, isn't it? You'd figure "Seacrest" was originally... well.... "Caviezel". Mad Jack 07:29, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes, I know...Who wouldn't? Michael 07:37, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

Edit War
Demiurge and GIPU "63.164.145.85", I axsk that you cease your little edit war before you both break the "three edit rule". I've editted the article, myself, for proper use of brackets, linking and NPOV. It's fine now, too me, and I hope you two take and break and grow up. BTW, "Blocked" or not "63.164.145.85" clearly has editted the article—so the redundant summary is really lame.—Then again, I've found the blocking system has a few hole in it, myself. Ace Class Shadow 22:46, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Rumors
I have added a section about the gay rumors to the article. While it is not uncommon for male celebrities to be rumored as gay, there are a few isolated celebrities for whom the rumors are more than just "typical gossip". One of these cases would be Tom Cruise. I feel Seacrest falls into that category as well based on the overwhelming amount of rumor and insinuation - particularly from other celebrities. I hesitated for well over a year before adding something to this article, but after Teri Hatcher's recent comments on Letterman, I think it was time to add a section. Hatcher has made comments in various media outlets insinuated that Seacrest intentionally used her to be photographed publicly with her in order to skirt off gay rumors.

While my phrasing may not be ideal, please do not remove the section en toto unless you have a good reason. Pacian 20:17, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

 * An anonymous user has already once deleted this section without noting a reason here on the talk page. I have reverted. Pacian 03:04, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Can you blame him? It's pretty stupid. How are celebrities (not even close friends, to my knowledge) saying/joking he's gay anymore valid than the average joe/jane? Ooh! Two women who barely know him say their "gayder" went off! (In a comedic fashion and media, no less.) Big woop! Not to mention the fact that this is an encyclopedia, not a tabloid or webzine. You wanna put it there? No one said anything. Don't bother giving us updates—even heard of an edit summary? Not everything is worth mentioning on the talk page, especially that GIPU's reasoning—or expect us to care. BTW, just for the record, Tom Cruise and his article are horrible examples. Being rumored to be gay and being Tom Cruise are completely different things.

 * In fact, you know what? I'm removing it myself. It was horribly written (half-ass, as they say) and cannot be considered neutral, intelligent or encyclopedic. ACS (Wikipedian) 03:19, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Photographs were published of Teri Hatcher and Seacrest kissing. I believe this logically qualifies them as being close, at least in SOME fashion. It makes it more valid because the average joe/jane does not have a one on one personal experience with the subject. Your attitude and manner of commenting here was unacceptable. Please review [Writers Rules of Engagement]. It is impossible to take anything you have said here seriously if you are going to attack me on a personal level. You have just called me unintelligent, a half-ass writer...not acceptable. I have explained to you in great detail why the addition is relevent, encyclopedic and notable on your talk page. You have yet to explain why it is NOT THESE THINGS, you have just stated that it isn't. I am reverting the edit. If you revert again, we will be hitting the 3 edit rule. Pacian 19:27, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

 * As you have already proven yourself unable to act civilly, and as you seem to have a reputation for this, I have submitted this case to the Mediation Cabal. Any edits to the section while the mediator is considering the issue will be considered an act of vandalism. Pacian 19:36, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

 * I was in a hurry. Give me a freaking break. Now...lessee. Seems you're taking fairly contructive criticism related to your addition—not you as a person—as an attack. Nice. Now, reading and considering what you wrote on my talk page, the point you are trying to make is clear and you might actually be producing some evidence. Thing is, you explain nothing about Teri's relationship to Ryan or what she would know. (though, from the feeling I got, the lady has problems and Ryan kinda pissed her off. Plus, considering the situation Ryan put Griffin in, she might be pissed, too, making both womenm biased.) Anyway, here's my enlighten, unbiased reader's view: Ryan might be making sad and ultimately poor attempts to appear heterosexual. However, the way the wrote the section didn't make this clear. In fact, you quite lierally said that the just because their stars they'd know with the ending sentence: "These and other comments from high-profile individuals lend more credence to the rumors (thus far unproven) than other celebrity 'gay rumors'".

 * Now, had you explained the Teri thing even half as well as you did on my talk page, and changed the overal messsage from "celebrities know best" to "these women have experienced first hand possible indications that Ryan is a "closeted celebrity male".

 * Then, rather than realize your mistake, you're claiming personal attacks and giving us a play-by-play of everything that'a happening in relation to your entry. I wasn't attacking you. I was, however, trying to explain that there's no need for you to log everything on this talk page. The section gets vandalized/removed? Fix it yourself and let it go. ": An anonymous user has already once deleted this section without noting a reason here on the talk page. I have reverted. Pacian 03:04, 14 May 2006 (UTC)" is a pointless entry. That, I'll admit, pissed me off and lead me to act.

 * BTW, you still left "friend" misspelled as "firend". ACS (Wikipedian) 18:07, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Well it would be good to put those "gay rumors" section in there after all. I mean Ryan Seacrest has had the biggest gay rumors more than most male celeberties, and one can only be put there if someone can "neutralize" the section to make it NPOV. As for me I think he is gay and he's using the St. Louis Cardinals and Teri Hatcher as a cover-up.

 * The gay rumors section has been posted and remained unchanged for quite long enough now. I even added the quote from the magazine interview where he refutes such speculation; the section should now be removed per WP:BLP. - Gilliam 08:53, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

I wouldn't be surprised if Mr. Seacrest himself regularly vistis his profile to 'clean-up' any gay references. It's a neatness thing.

Photo
Since the photo was deleted, would anybody mind finding a new one? Mike 7 22:22, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

any edit that changes it lower is vandalism. User:Arual 21:22, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Place of birth?
anybody know his place of birth?

either atlanta or dunwoody

which one is it/?

Very first entry ever, please excuse any formatting errors. Dunwoody is a neighborhood of Atlanta, not a city in and of itself. For example, mail addressed to addresses in Dunwoody can use Atlanta or Dunwoody as the city without any problems. There has been talk recently of the area incorporating, but nothing has come of it yet. So both are reasonable, but Atlanta is probably the technically correct answer. Squirrelcar 19:35, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Sidewalk star
I removed
 * One response, in May 2005, generated a substantial amount of media attention. An anonymous blogger using the pseudonym of "Assistant Atlas" http://assistantatlas.blogspot.com offered a prize of $50 to anyone who could successfully defecate on Seacrest's Hollywood Walk of Fame star. http://celebrityjustice.warnerbros.com/news/0505/18c.html

In the absence of documentation of sufficient mainstream media attention, this is unencyclopedic, and the standard of proof it requires should be in line with WP:BLP for two reasons: BTW, i couldn't load the plugin needed for seeing anything at the Warner URL, and my Google
 * 1) The assertion that it belongs in WP is a negative assertion about a living person, in that it implies he is so out of step with his audience that anonymous harassment (including the offer to pay someone for an illegal act) matters.
 * 2) Documentation in the article, rather than on the talk page, is unnecessary and thus arguably constitutes abetting of the blogger by informing an unnecessarily wide audience how to get the details.
 * search - "ryan seacrest" site:celebrityjustice.warnerbros.com - did not match any documents. And the blog sub-site has hundreds of entries; unless it's really ad-spam, the subsite-wide URL is abusive, and invalid as a ref.

I have the page on my watchlist for vandalism and every single day an unregistered user adds something along the lines of "is gay" or "is a homo" that I or someone else has to go in and correct.

Height issue
Seacrest is lying if he says he is 5 foot 9. According to imdb http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1101562/bio Simon Cowell is 5 foot 9. If you look at the following picture http://www.nickkcapress.com/2005KCA/images/kca/fullsize/52580720.jpg with Cowell and Seacrest, Cowell looks about 4 inches taller than Ryan. Cowell is definately not over 5 foot 9. He looks short on tv. Why is Seacrest making such a big deal out of this anyway. We don't care how tall you are man!!!!!!! If Wikipedia wants to be accurate they need to put down official height of 5 foot 7 or 6. Just my opinion.

imdb
imdb actually looks into information before updating, it's not a wikipedia style user edit. is ArglebargleIV ryan seacrest himself? 65.1.17.165 14:28, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

(1) IMDB doesn't have a lot of staffers to look into everything that is posted there. See the IMDB article. The Aufenstein thing appears and disappears on Seacrest's page regularly. The only other references to Seacrest as Aufenstein seem to be either copies of older versions of the Seacrest page and references to the same.

(2) No, I am definitely NOT Ryan Seacrest, although I wouldn't mind having his money. I'm sure that Seacrest has much better things to do that spend a couple hours each day looking through a article watchlist and patrolling new pages. (3) For the Aufenstein reference to stay, find a reliable and verifiable source for it. Wikipedia policy in general requires it, Wikipedia's biographies of living persons policy demands it. That's all. If that's his birth name, and it can be properly sourced and referenced, nobody's going to have a problem with it. Until then, it shouldn't be there. -- ArglebargleIV 17:24, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Rudi and the Gays
I heard read that Ryan Seacrest starred on the popular non-metal tv show Rudi and the Gays in the 1980s. It sounded true. It should be in the article if he really spent 13 years of his life on the show. --Charzar1 21:43, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

 * I've never heard of this show and could find no reference to it online aside from Simon Cowell's wikipedia page. And I'm not sure what a "non-metal tv show" means or how it "sounds true".  Feel free to add it if you can find a source but it sounds like something completely made up. FilmFemme 22:29, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

 * There used to be a wikipedia page for Rudi and the Gays. I watched an episode of it once a few years ago. It was hilarious. Ryan Seacrest was definitely on it. I also heard that Jerry Seinfeld was a writer for the show. I also dont see what non-metal is supposed to mean. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.254.40.34 (talk) 23:17, 26 April 2007 (UTC).

The wikipedia page is back up now. Do you think we could use one of there sources for Ryan's page? Oh and by the way the article says nothing about Jerry Seinfield being a writer. What is non-metal?? Doddsworth 22:05, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

 * Doddsworth, the wikipedia page is "back up" because you put it up. It is completely unreferenced and I actually don't believe a word of it.  And no you cannot use other wikipedia pages as references (see WP:CITE for how to use citations.)  The page has been nominated for deletion. FilmFemme 00:52, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, it's been deleted, so there you have it. --Haemo 07:20, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

 * The Rudy and the Gays page is back up and running. It is now under the name Rudi and the Gays and cites all of its information properly. I think now we can accurately put a section on this page for Rudy (or Rudi) and the Gays. --Charzar2 14:29, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

 * The "Rudie and the Gays" article is still made-up nonsense, the references are made-up nonsense, and it's marked for deletion. -- ArglebargleIV 14:59, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Seacrest Out!
Anyone know why Seacrest, Out redirects here? The phrase is cropping up more and more, and while it's silly, it would be nice to at least explain in this article why Seacrest, Out redirects to the Ryan Seacrest article. The phrase is from his non-Idol TV and radio host days, when he would end his segment with "Seacrest Out!" I'm seeing it at the end of blog posts and such, along the lines of Kthxbye.

On My Watch Tonight
I've deleted the (looooong) paragraph about this. Until it can be properly sourced and written neutrally, it's got WP:BLP concerns. And the link to download the wsong in question is right out.

I'm going to take a shot this evening to see whether it can be sourced and whether it's notable, and try to rewrite it shorter. I'll put my suggested version here, and maybe we can discuss it? -- ArglebargleIV 01:51, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

This event apparently did happen, but as far as I can tell from some preliminary searches, all Seacrest was involved in this was that he didn't play the song. Relevance seems lacking to me. -- ArglebargleIV 02:02, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

I know that this event happen because I was there in Eastern North Carolina listening to the events surrounding Seacrest and that song. I listen to the radio show that had the conflict with Ryan Seacrest over the song. I just thought that I bring the conflict back by hitting his Wikipedia profile. I'm still trying to get "On my Watch Tonight" famous by hitting the big name person that was suppose to make it famous in the first play. I also wanted people to know that Seacrest may not be the lovable guy they think of by disrespecting the military by not playing that song which was a salute to them. Oh well there always Perez Hilton to give the dirt to and make "On my Watch Tonight" famous like the people Eastern North Carolina want it too.

 * I don't know why this isn't in here, but I want someone to tell me that the second- it going in the article.

 * There was a HUGE controversy with Ryan Seacrest and Mike Corrado. Corrado is a Marine that were serving in Iraq and wrote this song, "On My Watch Tonight" that was on a great album by the Mike Corrado Band.  The local radio station 96.3 (based out of New Bern, NC) started playing the single on the air and it became the number one requested song.  The morning show djs tried to get attention to this single because of it's overwhelming success, and tried to get Ryan Seacrest to play the song in his show.  Ryan Seacrest gaffed them off.  The morning show started an initiative to try to get the listeners of 96.3 to start calling his show and requesting the song, over and over, and that still didn't work.  Apparently, during this time, Ryan Seacrest was overheard at a party talking bad about Marines because of this whole issue, and it was very ill-received (considering most people know a Marine in one way or another) and that brought even more heat to the issue.  The DJs at 96.3 tried to raise $100,000 to buy a full page ad in the LA Times to tell this story to Hollywood, and they didn't raise enough money, so instead, they started this initiative that they dubbed, "Pay it Forward".  They bought 1,000 copies of the album this song was on, gave them out with petitions, and asked listeners to listen to the cd, sign their name on the petition, and pass it on to a friend.  The friend should repeat the process until 10 names are on the Petition and then send the cd and petition to the Oprah Winfrey show.  The hope was that in some way, Oprah owns Seacrest or his show or something, and would help Corrado by making Ryan take back the bad things he said about Marines, and publicize this great song.

 * The whole thing was huge news in the Camp Lejeune area. I did my due-diligence, listened to the cd, and passed it on to another person.  I just remember it being such big news, and the word Seacrest being known as a four-letter-word.  I can not believe that this is not on here.  I can not find any more information that is a reliable source on the issue past the article written by the Jacksonville Daily News, which is no longer online, but quoted in it's entirety on The Mike Corrado Press Site.  When this whole thing was going down, the radio stations in Coastal Carolina did a major reorganization and I don't know what happened to the DJs that were behind this initiative, because most of the morning shows changed in that area.

 * I think this is extremely notable and should be on his article, at least in part. Seacrest is not an innocent by-stander, most Marines know that he has made anti-Marine statements in the past and his behavior of this whole thing did not help.  I have an email in to one of the DJs that was involved in all this (Crystal Legends) and I am hoping to get better references before I write this section.  Chexmix53 (talk) 20:22, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

 * See the section above this one. Here's a few potential problems :
 * Are there sufficient reliable sources and references, or is it all hearsay?
 * Would the above story be here to bash Seacrest or to publicize and promote the song? The first would probably not be allowed due to the biography of living persons policy, and the second wouldn't be allowed because Wikipedia isn't a promotional site.
 * It appears that Seacrest's only involvement was to not play a song. The guideline on undue weight would seem to be relevant here.
 * It's a relatively minor story, and would have to be shortened considerably to fit into the article (see undue weight above again). -- ArglebargleIV (talk) 20:52, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

 * I understand your points, but I have a little bit more knowledge on this whole thing that you do right now. For instance,
 * There is at least one reliable source (The Mike Corrado Press Site), which, yes, it is a fan site for the mike corrado band, but it is a press page that sites the entire article from the Jacksonville Daily News, and the article is no longer online on the JDnews website. Also, I am currently looking into getting more sources.  I have an email into one of the djs that started this whole thing for more information and sources.  I know this all happened, I just have to get sources for it because I know I can not just say, i was there when it happened.
 * The store would not be there to bash Seacrest or promote the cd, band or single. It is something that happened and the whole things was centered around Ryan Seacrest.  It is the reason that most military people don't respect him.  Not having this in the article makes it un-biased because it is something true that happened, is notable and is just not being included because it may make him look bad.
 * Seacrest's involvement stemmed beyond him not playing a song. Thousands of people from eastern Carolina, spouses from around the country and Marines stationed overseas were calling into his radio show requesting the song.  It had to be the most requested song for weeks with all the Marines, dependents and family members calling, and he not only refused to play the song, but ignored the whole situation.  Plus, he had before, and since made very hurtful comments about Marines in general.
 * And it is not a minor story. I remember everyone talking about this thing for months in Jacksonville, which sounds like a small city, but it is home to the worlds largest Marine Corps base, plus Camp Geiger and MCAS New River.

 * I believe that it does need to be addressed, not in the length that it was before, but at least one paragraph. I will write it, I am just waiting on that email. Chexmix53 (talk) 21:09, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

"Stalker"?
Please don't change the personal life section back to stalker. having the section title say "stalker" makes is sound like seacrest is a stalker. The article is about Secrest, not his stalker. Please allow the personal life section develop regarding his personal life by adding more personal life items.67.182.149.65 (talk) 23:11, 29 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, the first issue is the embedded note you added, that's YOUR message, it does not represent consensus of editors here, which is where such notes begin. Secondly, I find it curious that an IP with no previous history of editing here would know about embedded notes. Thirdly, a stalker does not reflect his entire personal life, and that heading is incorrect. Stalker should rightly be changed to "Stalker victim" or some such similar title to reflect that Seacrest is not a stalker, but was victimized by one. The personal life section as it pertains to factors in Seacrest's life will develop as it may, but coining a stalker report as his entire personal life is incorrect. I would suggest you read up on forming consensus and put it into practice, SRQ. Wildhartlivie (talk) 23:45, 29 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I do wonder if having a main section devoted to "Stalker victim" isn't giving undue weight to the issue (and the stalker). For example, the article on David Letterman, which involved a long term stalking and tragic ending, merits a subsection in his personal life and only two lines. I think the answer is to develop a section for personal life so that this one aspect doesn't dominate.  Sea photo Talk  16:56, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I agree, a line or two in the personal section should do. Having a section with stalker in it is very distracting in my opinion.  -- Crohnie Gal  Talk  19:06, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Don't you think that putting references to the stalker in the article which is supposed to be about the celebrity is EXACTLY what the stalker wants? I vote for a Delete. 82.45.146.29 (talk) 10:15, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

Golden samphire

The golden samphire (Limbarda crithmoides) is a perennial coastal species, which may be found growing on salt marsh or sea cliffs across western and southern Europe and the Mediterranean.

Golden samphire has a tufted habit, and the plant may grow up to 1 m tall. It has narrow fleshy green to yellow green leaves and large flower heads, with six yellow ray florets which may be up to 1.5 - 2.5 cm across. The flowers are self-fertile (able to pollinate themselves) and may also be pollinated by bees, flies and beetles. They bloom between June and October and can smell like shoe polish.

Taxonomy
It was first described by Carl Linnaeus as Inula crithmoides in his book Species Plantarum 2 on page 883 in 1753 and then later when the genus was renamed, it was published as Limbarda crithmoides by Barthélemy Charles Joseph Dumortier in Fl. Belg. on page 68 in 1827.

It was verified by United States Department of Agriculture and the Agricultural Research Service on 11 June 2015.

Known subspecies:
 * Limbarda crithmoides subsp. crithmoides
 * Limbarda crithmoides subsp. longifolia (Arcang.) Greuter

Distribution and habitat
It is native to temperate parts of Africa, Asia and Europe.

Range
It is found in Africa, within Algeria, Egypt (incl. Sinai), Libya, Morocco and Tunisia. In Asia, it is found in Israel, Lebanon, Syria and Turkey.

Europe, within Ireland, United Kingdom (where it is mostly found in the Isle of Sheppey), Albania, Croatia, Greece (incl. Crete), Italy (incl. Sardinia and Sicily), Malta, Montenegro and Slovenia. Also within south-western European countries of France (incl. Corsica), Portugal, Spain (incl. Baleares).

Uses
Young leaves may be eaten raw or cooked as a leaf vegetable. It was formerly sold in markets in London for uses in pickles.

In Lebanon, it was evaluated for use in saline agriculture.

Jardine House

Jardine House, formerly known as Connaught Centre , is an office tower in Hong Kong. The building is located at 1 Connaught Place, Central on Hong Kong Island. It is owned by Hongkong Land Limited, a subsidiary of Jardines. At the time of its completion in 1973, Jardine House was the tallest building in Hong Kong and in Asia. In 1980, the Hopewell Centre usurped the title of the tallest building in Hong Kong. The building is interconnected by the Central Elevated Walkway with buildings of Hongkong Land Limited like Exchange Square and the International Finance Centre.

There is also another Jardine House in Hamilton, Bermuda, which serves as the registered office for Jardines' Bermuda-domiciled businesses (most of Jardines' businesses including Jardine Matheson Holdings and Hongkong Land are incorporated and domiciled in Bermuda).

Previous Jardine Houses
The first three generations of Jardine Houses were situated at 20 Pedder Street, at the corner of Des Voeux Road Central. The first Jardine House was probably built around 1841 after Jardine's successful bid for its lots on The Praya Central. This first building was designed in a style typical of many commercial buildings in 19th Century Hong Kong and borrows elements (arches and pillars) from Neoclassical architecture. In 1908, the second Jardine House was built. It was rebuilt in around 1956 as a 16-storey building. The building was sold by Jardines during the land acquisition exercise of the Landmark complex in Central and 20 Pedder Street is now occupied by the Wheelock House.

New Jardine House
The new building was constructed on a piece of reclaimed land, under a lease term of 75 years, which was secured by Hongkong Land Limited at a record price of HK$258 million in 1970, payable interest free over a period of 10 years. In exchange, the Government agreed that no building directly to the north of Jardine House would ever be built to obstruct its views. As a result, the height of General Post Office building was capped at 120 ft. Building costs were estimated at $120 million. Construction of the fifty-two-storey building took 16 months. Metal lettering from the Old Jardine House was salvaged and used in the lobby of the New Jardine House.

Design
The building is constructed with a metal frame, and a curtain wall with round windows. The thickness of the structural frame is reduced because of the shape of the windows.

Unusually for a Jardine property, elevators were produced by Otis Elevator (was the fastest in Asia at the time of opening, one bank reaching speeds of 1400 ft/min), while escalators were manufactured by Schindler Elevator (Jardine was and is still Schindler Elevator's partner in Asia). Schindler would modernize the elevators later in the mid-2000s.

The circular design of the windows has earned the building the nickname, "The House of a Thousand Arseholes."

In popular culture
Jardine House was prominently displayed in the 1988 NBC television miniseries Noble House as the headquarters for Struan's in a subtle nod to James Clavell using Jardines as a model for Struan's. It also appeared in establishing shots in The Amsterdam Kill, and was climbed by a giant gorilla in the climax of The Mighty Peking Man (1977). The building was also featured in the 1978 episode titled "The Chinese Web" of The Amazing Spider-Man TV series.

Chanda Rubin

Chanda Rubin (born February 18, 1976) is an American former top-10 professional tennis player. During her career, she reached the semifinals at the 1996 Australian Open, the quarterfinals of the French Open three times, and had wins over world No. 1s Serena Williams and Martina Hingis. In doubles, she won the 1996 Australian Open with Arantxa Sánchez Vicario and alongside Sandrine Testud, were runners-up at the 1999 US Open.

Early life and family
Rubin was born to Edward D. Rubin, a state judge in Louisiana, and Bernadette Fontenot Rubin. She was the middle child of three siblings. As a child, she was taught the sport of tennis by Nehemiah Atkinson.

She married Mireyou Hollier in April 2015, and their daughter was born in October 2016.

In early 2016, her younger brother, Edward Rubin Jr., died aged 38 at his home in Lafayette, Louisiana.

Tennis career
In 1992, Rubin won the girls' singles title at Wimbledon, and reached a peak ranking of world No. 2 in the ITF Junior rankings.

Rubin's breakthrough season on the professional tour was 1995. In the third round of the French Open, she made a comeback from 0–5, 0–40 down in the third set against 5th seed Jana Novotná, saving nine match points before eventually winning 8–6. She went on to reach her maiden Grand Slam quarterfinal, losing to world No. 1 Arantxa Sánchez Vicario, the tournament's defending champion and eventual runner-up. In the second round of Wimbledon, Rubin defeated Patricia Hy-Boulais 7–6, 6–7, 17–15, the longest women's match in Wimbledon history. At the LA Tennis Championships in August, she defeated world No. 8 Gabriela Sabatini and world No. 2 Sánchez Vicario, on her way to the final, where she lost to world No. 3 Conchita Martínez in three sets.

In 1996, Rubin reached the Australian Open semifinals, defeating Sabatini in the fourth round and Sánchez Vicario 6–4, 2–6, 16–14 in the quarterfinals. The 48 games played in their quarterfinal were the most for a women's match at the Australian Open, a record which would be tied by Lauren Davis and Simona Halep in 2018. Rubin lost in the semifinals to eventual champion Monica Seles 6–7, 6–1, 7–5, despite holding a 5–2 lead in the third set. A few days later, she and Sánchez Vicario won the doubles title, defeating third-seeded Lindsay Davenport and Mary Joe Fernández in the final.

Rubin rose to a career-high singles ranking of No. 6 after reaching the final of the 1996 Miami Open where she lost to world No. 1 Steffi Graf. During the tournament, Rubin fractured a bone in her right hand. She eventually underwent surgery in August and missed the majority of the rest of the season.

Representing the United States, Rubin won the 1997 Hopman Cup alongside Justin Gimelstob. She remained undefeated through three ties and the final in her singles matches. At the Linz Open, Rubin defeated world No. 4 Jana Novotná on the way to her first singles title.

In Indian Wells in 1999, Rubin defeated both Amanda Coetzer and world No. 1, Martina Hingis, in straight sets on her way to the semifinals. She also won her second career title at the Hobart International.

Rubin underwent arthroscopic surgery on her left knee in 2001 after the Australian Open, and then suffered a left Achilles tendon injury in April, thereby missing the majority of the season.

In 2002, Rubin underwent surgery on her left knee again, missing the first half of the season. In August, she defeated Lindsay Davenport, Jelena Dokic and world No. 1 Serena Williams on her way to the title in Los Angeles. Her upset of Williams ended the top-ranked player's winning streak of 21 matches, a stretch that had carried Williams through titles at the French Open and Wimbledon.

At the 2003 Miami Open, Rubin defeated Amélie Mauresmo and Justine Henin in straight sets en route to the semifinals, after which she peaked again at No. 6 in the rankings. She reached her third and final French Open quarterfinal and also won the Eastbourne International title for a second time, defeating Jennifer Capriati in the semifinals and Conchita Martínez in the final. It would be Rubin's last career title.

Rubin missed the majority of the 2004–2006 seasons due to the persistent knee injury. Her last professional match was in October 2006 in Quebec City.

Rubin was inducted into the Southern Tennis Hall of Fame in 2009 and the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame in 2013.

Post-retirement
In 2013, Rubin completed a four-year Bachelor of Liberal Arts in Extension Studies with a concentration in Economics at Harvard Extension School, graduating cum laude.

In recent years, she has developed a career in broadcasting, working for Tennis Channel as a presenter and commentator.

Bahlul Khan Lodi (12 July 1489) was the chief of the Afghan Lodi tribe. Founder of the Lodi dynasty from the Delhi Sultanate upon the abdication of the last claimant from the previous Sayyid rule. Bahlul became sultan of the dynasty on 19 April 1451 (855 AH).

Early life
Bahlul's grandfather, Malik Bahram Khan Lodi, a Ghilzai tribal chief of the Lodi tribe from Dera Ismail Khan. He later took service under the governor of Multan, Malik Mardan Daulat. Bahram had a total of about five sons. His eldest son, Malik Sultan Shah Lodi, later served under the Sayyid dynasty ruler Khizr Khan and distinguished himself by killing in the battle later's worst enemy Mallu Iqbal Khan. He was rewarded with the title of Islam Khan and in 1419 appointed the governor of Sirhind. Bahlul, the son of Malik Kala Khan Lodi, the younger brother of Malik Sultan was married to Malik Sultan's daughter.

In his youth, Bahlul was involved in the trading of horses and once sold his finely bred horses to the Sayyid dynasty Sultan Muhammad Shah. As a payment he was granted a pargana and raised to the status of amir. After the death of Malik Sultan, he became the governor of Sirhind. He was allowed to add Lahore to his charge. Once, Sultan Muhammad Shah asked for his help when the Malwa Sultan Mahmud Khalji invaded his territory. Bahlul joined the imperial army with 20,000 mounted soldiers. By his cleverness, he was able to project himself as a victor over the army of the Malwa Sultan and Sultan Muhammad Shah conferred on him the title of Khan-i-Khanan. He also accepted Bahlul's occupation over a large part of Punjab.

In 1443, Bahlul attacked Delhi but he did not succeed. During the reign of last Sayyid ruler Sultan Alam Shah, Bahlul again made an unsuccessful attempt to capture Delhi in 1447. In 1448, when Alam Shah retired to Badaun, a minister of Alam Shah, Hamid Khan invited him to occupy the throne of Delhi. After the voluntary abdication of the throne by Alam Shah, Bahlul Shah ascended the throne of Delhi on 19 April 1451 and adopted the title of Bahlul Shah Ghazi. Alam Shah continued to live in Badaun until his death in July 1478.

Reign
After ascending to the throne, Bahlul decided to dispose of Hamid Khan. His cousin and brother-in-law Malik Mahmud Khan alias Qutb-ud-din Khan (Governor of Samana) imprisoned Hamid Khan.

In 1479, Sultan Bahlul Lodi defeated and annexed the Jaunpur Sultanate based at Jaunpur. He fortified the city of Jaunpur and turned it into a kasbah with several mosques and madrasas.

Bahlul did much to stop rebellions and uprisings in his territories, and extended his holdings over Jaunpur and upper Uttar Pradesh. Just like the previous Delhi Sultans, he kept Delhi the capital of his kingdom.

In 1486, he appointed his son, Babrak Shah as viceroy of Jaunpur. In time, this proved to be problematic, as his second son, Nizam Khan (Sikandar Lodi) was named successor, and a power struggle ensued upon his death in July 1489.

The site of his grave is disputed. The Archeological Survey of India has long designated a building close to the shrine of the noted Sufi saint Nasiruddin Chirag-e-Delhi in a locality that goes by his name, 'Chirag Delhi', as Bahlul Lodi's tomb. Other historians argue that the Sheesh Gumbad in the Lodi Gardens is actually to be identified with his tomb.

Marriages
Bahlul married two times:
 * Shams Khatun, daughter of Sultan Malik Shah Lodi, his first cousin;
 * Bibi Ambha, daughter of a Hindu goldsmith

Hongkong Land

Hongkong Land (HKL) is a property investment, management and development group with commercial and residential property interests across Asia. It owns and manages some 850,000 sq. m. of office and retail property in Asia, principally in Hong Kong and Singapore. Its Hong Kong portfolio represents some 450,000 sq. m. of commercial property, making it the single largest landlord in Central, Hong Kong. In Singapore it has 165,000 sq. m. of office space mainly held through joint ventures. While its subsidiary MCL Land is a residential developer. Hongkong Land also has a 50 per cent interest in World Trade Center Jakarta, an office complex in Central Jakarta that it shares with the Murdaya family (owner of Pondok Indah)'s Central Cipta Murdaya Group and a number of residential and mixed-use projects under development in cities across Greater China and Southeast Asia - including WF CENTRAL, a luxury retail centre in Wangfujing, Beijing.

Hongkong Land was founded in 1889. Hongkong Land Holdings Ltd is incorporated in Bermuda. It has a standard listing on the London Stock Exchange as its primary listing and secondary listings in Bermuda and Singapore. The Group's assets and investments are managed from Hong Kong by Hongkong Land Limited. Hongkong Land is 50 per cent owned by Jardine Matheson Holdings.

Presence in Hong Kong
Hongkong Land is the single largest landlord in Central, Hong Kong. In recent decades, the company focused on upgrading its commercial buildings in Central. In 2003, the redevelopment of Swire House into the new Chater House was completed. Major renovations have since been carried out in the Prince's Building. The Landmark has also been redeveloped, with the Landmark Mandarin Oriental Hotel and York House added. Hongkong Land has also redeveloped The Forum, the retail block at Exchange Square, into a 5-story office block, which is wholly leased to Standard Chartered Bank.

In early 2012, a new brand "LANDMARK" was launched covering the company's four most famous shopping destinations The Landmark, Alexandra House, Chater House and Prince's Building, which are linked by pedestrian bridges, part of the Central Elevated Walkway. It was accompanied by a new logo "L", representing LANDMARK and luxury retail.

The company has also developed three luxury residential buildings on Hong Kong Island in recent years, namely Serenade, The Sail at Victoria and Ivy on Belcher's.

In October 2006, Hongkong Land hosted the CENTRAL Rat Race for the first time in the heart of Central, which has since become an annual event. This charity relay event helps raise funds for MINDSET, a registered charity supporting mental-health related organisations and projects in Hong Kong and mainland China. The inaugural race raised over HK$2 million and as of 31 December 2015, some HK$25 million has been raised.

Business in the rest of Asia
Hongkong Land has expanded its business outside Hong Kong in recent years, and has significant interests across Asia, mostly in a joint venture with local developers, including the Keppel Group in Singapore, the CIFI Group in Shanghai and the Longfor and China Merchants groups in Chongqing.

In its commercial portfolio, in Singapore, it has an attributable interest in some 1.8 million square feet of commercial space. Following One Raffles Link, the company developed One Raffles Quay, its second commercial complex in Singapore, in the Marina Bay area. It also has a one-third interest in the Marina Bay Financial Centre which was completed in 2012. The company owns a 50% stake in Jakarta Land, which is expanding its complex of World Trade Center Jakarta in the central business district of Jakarta. Hongkong Land also owns interests in the Gaysorn Village in Bangkok, developed the WF CENTRAL shopping centre in Beijing, Exchange Square in Phnom Penh, and two office buildings in Hanoi. In Macau, Hongkong Land has developed One Central Macau in a joint venture with Shun Tak Holdings. This is a major mixed-use development on the waterfront comprising luxury residences, a retail development, the Mandarin Oriental Macau hotel and residences managed by the hotel. Hongkong Land is currently developing The former British Embassy Site in Bangkok with Central Group, a commercial complex in Xinjiekou, Nanjing, and mixed-use waterfront development in Xuhui, Shanghai.

Hongkong Land is also active in the residential markets across Southeast Asia. Hongkong Land has a 100% interest in MCL Land, a Singapore residential developer active also in Malaysia. Hongkong Land is also developing residences in Indonesia, the Philippines, Vietnam and Thailand.

Hongkong Land has also developed residential properties and mixed-use projects in mainland China. In Beijing, there are residential projects such as Central Park and Maple Place. Hongkong Land has more than 10 developments in Chongqing, such as Yorkville, Bamboo Grove and Landmark Riverside. In Chengdu, it is developing WE City, a mixed-use residential and commercial development. In Shanghai, Hongkong Land has developed Parkville in Pudong, Shanghai, for residential and commercial use. The company has recently entered Nanjing, Hangzhou and Wuhan to develop residential/mixed-use properties.

Founding
Hongkong Land was formed on 2 March 1889 and was initially named The Hongkong Land Investment and Agency Company Limited. It was founded by two businessmen in Hong Kong — Sir Paul Chater and James Johnstone Keswick. Besides property, Chater was also known for his interests in brokerage and bullion while Keswick was Tai-pan of Jardine, Matheson and Company Limited.

Chater had been lobbying for some time in government circles for a new reclamation project in the Victoria District in Central Hong Kong and the construction of a new Praya along the harbour front. Six days after the formation of Hongkong Land, he got his way. The reclaimed land was to yield an area of 65 acre of building land some 250 ft wide along a new waterfront road that came to be known as Chater Road. This "Central Reclamation" has since become a core element of Hong Kong's Central District, forming as it does the land between today's Des Voeux Road Central and Connaught Road Central, including Statue Square and Chater Road itself.

The four-storey New Oriental Building was the first commercial building on the Central Reclamation built on Marine Lot 278 at No. 2 on the then newly formed Connaught Road and completed in 1898. This building was demolished in the early 1960s and the site is today occupied by the AIA Central building. The Chater Road reclamation can thus be seen as the starting point for Hongkong Land's development of "Central" as Hong Kong's business district.

Early years
Following the construction of The New Oriental Building, between June 1904 and December 1905, Central saw the completion of five major buildings that were Hong Kong's first 'skyscrapers'. These included the Alexandra Building in 1904, which was built on the location of today's Alexandra House.

By 1941 the company possessed 13 properties in Central. One of the most notable among them was Marina House, Alexandra Building, Holland House, Queen's Building and Prince's Building.

Hongkong Land ceased business for three years and eight months during the Second World War. But when the company reclaimed its office buildings in September 1945, they were all in good structural condition.

The first post-war project came in 1947, adding three more floors to the five-storey Marina House. Then came the redevelopment of 11 and 13 Queen's Road Central into the nine-storey Edinburgh House, which was completed in 1950. These buildings stood on the sites of today's Edinburgh Tower and York House.

At the same time, three old buildings on a triangular site formed by Des Voeux Road, Chater Road and Ice House Street — Alexandra Building, Royal Building and Chung Tin Building — were demolished to make way for the 13-storey Alexandra House.

1960s and 1970s
By the mid-1960s, Hongkong Land owned nine office blocks as well as the shopping complex in Prince's Building and The Mandarin Hotel. These were connected by the first pedestrian bridge. Since then, Hongkong Land's buildings have been linked to one another, forming a network of commercial buildings.

During the 1970s, the company began investing in international markets, building a portfolio of properties in Australia, Hawaii, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand.

The Group Chief Executive Vernon Robert's leadership during this period was the construction of the Connaught Centre. On 1 June 1970, the company paid a then world-record price of HK$258 million at a public auction for an important new central reclamation site. On completion in 1973, the 52-level, 696000 sqft Connaught Centre was Hong Kong's largest and most advanced office block. It was renamed Jardine House on 1 January 1989.

Redevelopment during the 1970s of Hongkong Land's "Central" portfolio began with the demolition of Alexandra House and the construction of what was to be the third building to bear that name on the site. The 36-level project, which was finished in 1976, was joined by Prince's Building, Swire House, The Mandarin Hotel and Connaught Centre by overhead walkways. Today, it forms a footbridge network connecting Hongkong Land's commercial portfolio.

Hongkong Land developed residential properties in mid-levels, including May Tower in 1974 and Branksome in 1976. The company also acquired a tract of land in Pok Fu Lam and started construction of the Chi Fu Fa Yuen complex. This consisted of 20 towers with 4,258 flats, along with a shopping centre, restaurants and recreational facilities.

1980s and 1990s
The 1980s saw Hongkong Land diversify from its usual property interests, as it bought significant shareholdings in Hong Kong Telephone Company Ltd and Hong Kong Electric Holdings Ltd.

In 1982, Hongkong Land acquired the last major site available in Central with a bid of HK$4.7 billion and began construction of the first phase of Exchange Square. It was the largest commercial complex in the territory at the time and the most technologically sophisticated.

The year 1982 saw the property market in Hong Kong plunge dramatically, and in the following two years, rentals halved. This was a period of financial difficulty for Hongkong Land as it looked to reorganise itself and reduce its debt burden through asset disposals and restructuring measures. Hongkong Land sold its international properties as well as its non-core assets in Hong Kong, including its interests in Hong Kong Telephone and Hong Kong Electric. But its core assets in the heart of Central were left untouched.

In 1984 the property market began to look up again and in late 1985, Hongkong Land completed and opened the first phase of its new flagship property, One and Two Exchange Square. In 1988, the final third phase of Exchange Square was completed and The Forum was opened.

The Landmark was completed in two phases in 1980 and 1983. It comprised two 47-level office blocks, Gloucester Tower and Edinburgh Tower, and a large five-level shopping podium.

During the 1990s, Hongkong Land continued to enhance its core commercial office portfolio in Hong Kong, while beginning to look at investment opportunities in other Asian cities.

In Hong Kong, Central office space supply increased substantially in the late 1990s and in 1997 the company launched the redevelopment of Swire House, now named Chater House, as a world-class building in the heart of Central.

In Singapore, the company began the construction of One Raffles Link, an office building in the centre of the city that was an early example of sustainable construction. The building was completed in 2000.

Category talk:Governors of Western Australia

comment from 2005
The Governor of Western Australia is not a politician. The position is not liable to be vacated on political grounds, and governors are required to remain apolitical in all their decisions. Therefore this category should not be a subcategory of category:Australian politicians. Hesperian 04:29, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Prince's Building

Prince's Building is an office tower with a six-level shopping centre, known as Landmark Prince's. Located along the western side of the southern section of Statue Square in Central, Hong Kong near Central station, the building is connected to Alexandra House and Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong by pedestrian footbridges.

First generation
The first Prince's Building was a four-storey Renaissance architecture building in 1904 on land created from the Chater reclamation, located directly south of Queen's Building, completed in 1899. The building was designed by Leigh & Orange and had similarities with the Hong Kong Club Building built in 1897. It was replaced by the present building in 1965.

The first building housed several bank and law firm offices including:
 * Yokohama Specie Bank
 * Bank of Taiwan
 * Banque de l'Indochine
 * Deacons
 * Johnson Stokes & Master

Second generation
In 1963, the first building was demolished to make way for the current Prince's Building. It was designed by architecture firm Palmer & Turner. The 29 floor complex is an office and retail complex and is owned by Hongkong Land.

In 1965, Hongkong Land constructed the first air-conditioned pedestrian bridge in Hong Kong, connecting Prince's Building to The Mandarin Hotel. This concept was later adapted by other developers, and formed the Central Elevated Walkway system.

The six levels of retail floors, now known as Landmark Prince's, house flagship stores of luxury brands including Cartier, Chanel, Van Cleef & Arpels, Hermès, A. Lange & Söhne, Baccarat, Berluti, Chopard, Christian Louboutin, Chrome Hearts, Damiani, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Buccellati, F. P. Journe, Qeelin, Panerai and Vacheron Constantin. Landmark Prince's is also known for smaller upmarket boutique-style shops on its second and third floors; these two retail floors are branded as "Landmark Home & Kids".

Tenants of the office tower currently include Mayer Brown JSM, KPMG, and PricewaterhouseCoopers.

The complex adjoins Statue Square, which it surrounds together with Hong Kong Club Building, Old Supreme Court Building, Mandarin Oriental (former site of Queen's Building) and HSBC Main Building.

Talk:Dartmouth, Nova Scotia

Possible racism issue

 * "Dartmouth is also commonly called the 'Darkside', in reference to the fact that its city lights look, from a distance, darker than Halifax's."

 * In 2002 I attended a community forum in Dartmouth where several residents mentioned their opposition to the slang "darkside" being used to refer to their former city - it seems that this has a double entendre, where people from Dartmouth, Cherry Brook, Westphal and the Prestons see it as being a possibly racist reference. I wonder if it should stay in Wikipedia?  Cheers,Plasma east 04:32, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * I basically disagree. It's not a racist reference at all. Its probably more racist to even THINK it's a racist reference. I've never, ever heard it used in that context. Danielfong 12:33, 26 May 2005 (UTC)

I currently live in Dartmouth. I call it the darkside because once here, good luck doing anything. It's really old and you have to travel many kilometers before you can go anywhere interesting. Stores generally stay closed on Sundays. There is no traffic, really. It's a really really old style place and not for some people (myself included). But I'm here - but not forever... -Stoneman

 * I too have never ever heard it used in a racist fashion, and is much more commonly (always) used to describe the amount of nightlife available to the city of lakes in the city of lakes. Which is next to nil. mike1979 12:08, 22 Nov 2005 (UTC)

 * Darkside represent - grew up in Creighton Park, Woodlawn, Penhorn Lake, and Darkside was because, you know, it was the early 80s, and it was way cooler to be in the Dark Side, with Darth Vader.... WayeMason 02:19, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

 * As an aside I just was reminded when working on the maps that Preston is not even in Dartmouth. WayeMason 00:00, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

Just a comment to stoneman...What is wrong with you? Have you no pride in your city? And what are you talking about it being a lifeless old city. It is full of life, culture, and events, and if you took the time to actually take your head out of your ass and look around, you would see that Dartmouth is a great city (for in the mind of true Dartmouth patriots, Dartmouth will always be Dartmouth, never HRM) full of life and yes...stores are closed on sundays, like the rest of NS, thats very astute of you... From, a very loyal Dartmouth citizen:

March 2, 2006

I'm a student at Dartmouth High School. Recently at our 'freestyle friday', we had a group of African-Canadian youth rap about "darkside this", "darkside that". Presently, it's the name for a gang of youth in North End Dartmouth. I don't think it should be on the page simply on the basis that it is promoting gangs. --142.68.242.38 05:08, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

I've never heard the term Darkside in 30-something years in this area, and I suspect it's really not all that relevant. I also dislike the "(former city)" title - makes it sound like it's been razed! What would be the harm in just mentioning the amalgamation at the beginning of the article instead? -Tony 142.176.61.245 13:34, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

I lived in Dartmouth for 50 years and I never heard of the term Darkside --Vic 21:10, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

Daarkside is not racist, it's just a nickname. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.30.247.151 (talk) 23:15, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

Move
Whis is this at Dartmouth, Nova Scotia (former city)? It should be at Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. We don't have Hull, Quebec at Hull, Quebec (former city) :p -- Earl Andrew - talk 08:15, 9 April 2006 (UTC) I agree its Dartmouth NS period.--Vic 21:08, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

It should be written as The community of Dartmouth when refered to in other articles .--Vic 20:48, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

Imperoyal as a neighbourhood?
I know "Imperoyal" is written on the Metro Transit route map, but I always thought it was just a very strange misspelling of Imperial Oil. Ouuplas 05:00, 26 July 2006 (UTC).

It is called Imperoyal for sure - see link  from Destination Nova Scotia --1190557 23:26, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Population?
I know there is a footnote saying Darmouth's population is 97K, but the page says "Dartmouth community." The other footnote says 65K. I grew up there, it was always 60-65K, there is no way 32K people moved into the old city of Dartmouth between 2001-2006. I think that the second footnote is about Dartmouth, Cole Harbour and parts east....WayeMason 01:26, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Is the photo which is being added lately an improvement over the one that shows detail, including pleasure craft and the Halifax-Dartmouth ferry? Comment
Current photo: Thoughts on this please. Regards,   Aloha27   talk  01:32, 25 June 2017 (UTC)

The current picture of only Alderney Landing from 10 years ago does a poor job of representing Dartmouth. This picture taken this month showing the skyline I think would be a much better representation. I've made a cropped version as well, if that is better. RoshanMcG (talk) 01:51, 25 June 2017 (UTC)

Photo definitely should be updated. What's wrong with the new picture? 24.215.116.77 (talk) 04:12, 31 May 2018 (UTC)

The new photo provided by RoshanMcG does provide an updated view of the Dartmouth waterfront. Photos on Wikipedia should be updated occasionally if they don't otherwise impact on the content or the quality of the article. MonctonRad (talk) 18:00, 2 September 2018 (UTC)

Poorly sourced? Comment
Not exactly sure what the issue is, he (User:Warrenwesson) says Dartmouth is a former city, but what is it now? Is it not still a community? I've known Gloria McCluskey for over thirty years and love her to death but without a Wikipedia article (as have the rest) I can't agree with her being included as "famous". "Dartmouth has a significant economic sector" and "Dartmouth's future looks bright." (According to whom? Wikipedia?) District 2 is not Dartmouth. The riding runs from Cherry Brook to Ecum Secum according to the website of the Councillor (Hendsbee).

The result of the debate was REDIRECT. dbenbenn | talk 21:45, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Calling ID
This was tagged for speedy deletion with no reason given. I don't think speedy is appropriate, but can it be more than a dictionary definition, and does it have significance outside Caller ID? Kappa 04:35, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Caller ID -- Paul Richter 06:02, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Caller ID. Looks like it's already been merged there  (or else this is a split off of it). RJFJR 06:33, Feb 12, 2005 (UTC)
