Canada Life

The Canada Life Assurance Company (French: La Compagnie d'Assurance du Canada sur la Vie), commonly known as Canada Life (Canada-Vie), is an insurance and financial services company with its headquarters in Winnipeg, Manitoba. The current company is the result of the 2020 amalgamation of The Great-West Life Assurance Company, London Life Insurance Company and The Canada Life Assurance Company, along with their holding companies (London Insurance Group Inc. and Canada Life Financial Corporation). The company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Great-West Lifeco.

Great-West Life Assurance Company
The Great-West Life Assurance Company (French: La Great-West, Compagnie d'Assurance-vie) provided life, disability, and health insurance; benefit and retirement plans; and investment advice. It was active in both the United States and Canada.

Great-West Life was founded in Winnipeg in 1891 by Jeffry Hall Brock, a local insurance agent. The company was incorporated on August 28, 1891, with local residents such as James Ashdown on its board. In 1942, it was the first Canadian company "to enter the accident and health insurance business." In 1960, the company moved to Osborne Street, where it had constructed a new building on the site of the old Osborne Stadium. In 1983, the company expanded into a building on the corner of Broadway and Osborne.

In 1979, US and Canadian operations were separated due mostly to rapid US growth. In 1969, Great-West was purchased by the Power Corporation, which made it into a wholly owned subsidiary. In 1982, Great-West began offering a universal life policy which differed from those offered by competitors. Two years later, in 1984, the Power Financial Corporation was created as a holding company for Great-West and its numerous businesses.

Great-West Life Realty (GWL Realty) is the Toronto-based property and asset management arm of Great-West Life, established in 1993.

London Life Insurance Company
The London Life Insurance Company (or London Life) merged with Great-West Life in 1997, then joined the original Canada Life in 2003. London Life was a part of Great-West Lifeco subsidiary, Great-West Life Assurance Company. London Life was founded in London, Ontario, in 1874, and remains headquartered there. In 2009, London Life ranked 14th among Canada's largest private companies. The company reportedly had assets under management of $40 billion (Canadian funds) as at December 31, 2004, and 1.9 million participating life insurance policies.

London Life was best known for its widely advertised Freedom 55 program launched in 1984, which evokes saving money to an extent that would allow one to retire at age 55 instead of age 65, the standard retirement age under the Canada Pension Plan. The tagline was later repurposed for the company's sales organization, which was rebranded Freedom 55 Financial in 2000.

In 2019, London Life merged with its sister companies, Great-West Life Assurance Company and Canada Life Financial, under the banner of Canada Life. The Freedom 55 Financial brand was also retired at this point.

Canada Life Financial Corporation
Hugh Cossart Baker Sr. established the Canada Life Assurance Company (CLAC), the first life insurance company in Canada, on 21 August 1847. The firm was incorporated in 1849.

The company was acquired by Great-West Life Assurance Company in 2003, after rejecting a hostile takeover bid by rival Manulife. Canada Life Financial had offices in the United Kingdom; in Ireland; Germany; Brazil; the United States; and on the Isle of Man.

The first CLAC head office was in Hamilton, Ontario on the top floor of the Mechanics' Institute on James Street near Merrick, where the Hamilton City Centre (formerly the Eaton's Centre) now stands. The head office moved in 1883 to King Street East and Hughson Street South (later known as the Birks Building). The company commissioned the building of the Canada Life Building, which was completed in 1895, in Montreal. The headquarters of CLAC was moved to Toronto in 1900 by newly installed company president George Cox. From 1926 to 1929, the company was headquartered at historic Cawthra House in Toronto.

Several acquisitions were made and sister companies founded through the years, including:

Crown Life was founded in 1900 and was based in Toronto. It was acquired by CLAC in 1998.
 * Crown Life Insurance Company of Canada

Canada Life began operations in the United Kingdom in 1903.
 * Canada Life, UK

Parent companies
Great-West Lifeco is a joint-stock corporation traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange and owns 100% of The Great-West Life Assurance Company. Power Financial Corporation (PFC) is the majority stake-holder and owns 72% of Great-West Lifeco, the only one of those finance companies to be a member of the stock exchange composite index. Other operating companies include Irish Life, Great-West Financial, and Putnam Investments.

In 2003, Great-West Lifeco acquired Canada Life Financial, which later emerged, along with Great-West Life Assurance Company, for US$4.7 billion. Great-West Life sold its health insurance US division to Cigna for US$1.5 billion in a deal announced on November 26, 2007. Great-West was seeking to expand into the western United States.

Merger and consolidation

In 2019, Great-West Lifeco consolidated its three brands in Canada as "Canada Life". In April 2019, Great-West Life merged with its sister companies London Life and Canada Life into the single brand of Canada Life. The rebrand took place in 2020, with Canada Life having 10,500 employees. The Canada Life amalgamation received approval from the Canadian government in November 2019. They officially begin operating as The Canada Life Assurance Company on January 1, 2020. Canada Life is based in Toronto, Ontario at the historic Canada Life Building on University Avenue.

Employees of the merged companies work from five regional offices in Winnipeg, London, Toronto, Montreal and Regina. Paul A. Mahon is president. Canada Life is on the Canada's Top 100 Employers and Top 100 Employers for Young people lists.

Philanthropy
On May 28, 2017, sister companies Canada Life, London Life and Great-West Life contributed $25,000 to Canadian Red Cross to help people affected by extensive Spring flooding in Canada.

In May 2017, Canada Life (then Great-West Life), along with the Investors Group and the Power Corporation of Canada, announced a commitment of $12 million to the University of Manitoba to establish an Institute for Leadership Development.

In February 2020, the corporation established the "James W. Burns 'Founder Endowment Fund' " after the late James W. Burns, former president and chief executive officer at Great-West Life.

In April 2019, the Manitoba Museum announced a donation of $750,000.00 to their capital campaign, "Bringing Our Stories Forward", by Canada Life. The donation was made in honour of Burns.

Canada Life donated 470 tickets for the "A Conversation with Michelle Obama" event to the Winnipeg School Division.

The company has been a long-term sponsor of "Future Leaders of Manitoba" awards. Notable recipients of the award have included indigenous Peoples activist Michael Redhead Champagne, Canadian politician Kevin Chief, Canadian film director Adam Smoluk, community leader Hannah Pratt, surgeon and university associate professor Dr. Jordan Hochman, president of Manitoba SwimAbility, Cameron Krisko, and young philanthropist Ben Sabic.

Legal proceedings
Canada Life–UK claimed its former employee, Domenico Iacono, had illegally removed confidential information after he quit the job. The insurance group brought legal proceedings against Iacono before the High Court.

Canada Life Financial was sued by Vanessa Valentyne after refusing to pay out her missing son's insurance policy. The policy he took out had an exclusionary clause, according to which the company will not pay on a policy if death is a result of its holder's criminal activity. Valentyne's son was a drug dealer for six years before his January 7, 2013 disappearance from a drug dealing house.

 * A second opinion is that the video sheds no light on the subject of triptychs in general, so I don't see its relevance here. It *might* be worth including in the external links section of said work, but it certainly doesn't work here. Kafka Liz (talk) 17:15, 24 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Exactly.

Architecture
the triptych has been part of human expression since the beginning. It is also VERY present in architecture all over the world. It is an extremely old motif. Possibly one of our first. AllISAtom (talk) 22:00, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

Side bar. Adding architecture will steer this article away from glorifying mediocre whiteness. There are giant stone buildings all over the world that were built long before white people did that display the triptych. AllISAtom (talk) 22:03, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

Melissa Drexler

Melissa Drexler, who was nicknamed in the media as "The Prom Mom," is an American woman who, as a teenage high school student in 1997, delivered a baby in a restroom stall during her high school prom dance. The baby was later found dead in a trash bin, and Drexler pleaded guilty to aggravated manslaughter, having put the infant in the trash can and then returned to the dance. She was sentenced to 15 years' imprisonment. After serving a little over three years, she was released on parole.

Early life
Drexler was an only child from a middle-class Catholic family and lived in Forked River, New Jersey. She attended Lacey Township High School in the Lanoka Harbor section of Lacey Township, New Jersey and had plans for a career in the fashion industry.

Pregnancy
Drexler kept her pregnancy secret from the baby's likely father John Lewis, her parents and friends. At 5 ft tall, and about 130 lb, she apparently showed no signs of her pregnancy. On June 6, 1997, Drexler gave birth in a bathroom stall at her senior prom, twenty minutes after complaining of stomach cramps in the car she had arrived in. She retrieved the baby from the toilet bowl, placed it in a plastic bag, and deposited it in a trash can. It is thought that she severed the umbilical cord on the serrated edge of a sanitary napkin dispenser and suffocated the child. According to the prosecutor, a friend asked if she was all right, and she replied "I'll be done pretty soon. Go tell the boys we'll be right out." She then returned to the dance floor, ate a salad, and danced with her boyfriend. When Drexler and her friends were asked by teachers about the blood in the bathroom, she replied that she was having a heavy menstrual period. The baby was discovered in a trash bin by a janitor, after a school nurse cleaned the bloody bathroom stall, emptied the trash can, and became suspicious of the weight of the trash bag.

Criminal proceedings
As part of a plea agreement, Drexler pleaded guilty to aggravated manslaughter on August 20, 1998. As of 2011 court transcripts had not been released. She was sentenced to 15 years in prison. On November 26, 2001, she was freed on parole after serving three years and one month.

Patient gown

A hospital gown, sometimes called a johnny gown or johnny, especially in Canada and New England, is "a long loose piece of clothing worn in a hospital by someone doing or having an operation". It can be used as clothing for bedridden patients.

Utility
Hospital gowns worn by patients are designed so that hospital staff can easily access the part of the patient's body being treated.

The hospital gown is made of fabric that can withstand repeated laundering in hot water, usually cotton, and is fastened at the back with twill tape ties. Disposable hospital gowns may be made of paper or thin plastic, with paper or plastic ties.

Some gowns have snaps along the top of the shoulder and sleeves, so that the gown can be removed without disrupting intravenous lines in the patient's arms.

Hospital gowns used in psychiatric care will sometimes use snaps in the back instead of ties.

Used paper hospital gowns are associated with hospital infections, which could be avoided by proper disposal.

A Canadian study surveying patients at five hospitals determined 57 percent could have worn more clothing below the waist, but only 11 percent wore more than a gown. The physicians conducting the survey said gowns should not be required unless they are necessary. Although they are cheaper and easier to wash, Todd Lee, of Royal Victoria Hospital in Montreal, said gowns are not necessary unless the patient is incontinent or has an injury in the lower body. Otherwise, Lee said, pajamas or regular clothes may be acceptable.

Problems and redesign
Traditional hospital gowns were designed in an era when patients spent most of their hospital stays confined to bed. In this context, the open back of hospital gowns proved beneficial as it made dressing and undressing patients far easier for hospital staff and facilitated the use of a bedpan. Such advantages have become less salient over time as medical practices change to emphasize getting patients out of bed and mobile rather than encouraging prolonged bed rest. When upright and moving, the open back of a hospital gown exposes the buttocks and prevents the gown from retaining warmth, resulting in some patients experiencing embarrassment and discomfort while wearing them.

Some studies have been done on updating the garment for more modern needs. However, new-style gowns and other types of clothing can be more expensive. The Valley Hospital in Ridgewood, New Jersey reported a $70,000 a year increase.

Luke's Fast Breaks
When 9-year-old Luke Lange complained about wearing a hospital gown while being treated for Hodgkin lymphoma, his mother adapted some T-shirts for him to wear, using snap tape on the sides. Other children saw the t-shirt and wanted one too. Two years later, the organization Luke's FastBreaks had raised $1 million for children's cancer and given out over 5,000 of the t-shirts. They were long enough to wear like the gowns, but some preferred to wear them like t-shirts. Briton Lynn, executive director of Luke's FastBreaks, said the t-shirts helped children have a more positive attitude.

Traci Lamar design
In November 2006, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation gave a $236,000 grant to a team at North Carolina State University to design a new gown based on "style, cost, durability, comfort, function" and other qualities. NCSU professor Lamar's team worked to come up with a "more comfortable, less revealing" design. Surveys found that nurses did not like the ties in the back because knots could form, and some patients wore more than one gown at once, with one tied in front and the other in back. Many patients disliked how lightweight gowns were. In April 2009, the NCSU team showed potential new designs at a reception, and they were preparing to ask for more funding as they developed a prototype. Meanwhile, some hospitals were offering alternatives, including gowns that opened in the front or on the side, and drawstring pants, cotton tops and boxers. These cost more than traditional gowns. Lamar's additional funding came from RocketHub. At NCSU Fashion Week in 2013, Lamar's design was mentioned as "functional and dignified," but not shown "to prevent any patent infringements". A prototype, made of DermaFabric and made at Precision Fabrics in Greensboro, North Carolina, was to be tested at WakeMed.

DCS gown
In 2009, Fatima Ba-Alawi was honored for her DCS (dignity, comfort, safety) gown at a RCN conference on London. Four years after she started using her skills making dresses to redesign hospital gowns, NHS trusts were using the design. The reversible gowns have plastic poppers which make it easier to change without moving the patient and save staff time, and side pockets for drips or catheters, along with a pouch for cardio equipment. One version called the Faith Gown has a detachable head scarf and long sleeves.

Ben de Lisi design
Another redesign in England came from Ben de Lisi, one of six receiving grants. The Design Council was scheduled to show his design, which did not open in the back but did allow access, in March 2010.

According to the BBC, de Lisi's hospital gowns are made much more modestly, taking patient dignity into consideration.

Cleveland Clinic design
The Cleveland Clinic changed its gowns in 2010 because the CEO had heard many complaints. Diane von Furstenberg was commissioned to design stylish hospital gowns based on her fashionable wrap dress by the Cleveland Clinic. The new design was reversible with a V-neck in both the front and the back, with softer fabric.

Dignity Giving Suit
Birmingham Children's Hospital in England introduced the polyester/cotton Dignity Giving Suit in March 2013, after 18 months of work. Patients and health care professionals liked the suits with Velcro fasteners on the seams. Other area hospitals were interested. Adults wanted the gowns to be made for them as well as children.

Janice Fredrickson
A design patented in 2014 by Janice Fredrickson had a side opening and sleeve openings, and could be put on without the patient sitting up. One version had pockets for telemetry wires and for drainage bags. It was suggested that different colors be used for different patients, such as those at risk of falling.

Model G design
In 2015, Henry Ford Health System of Detroit was working on its own design, similar to a bathrobe with cotton blend. In tests, patients liked the new design. But any update was likely to cost more, as well as harder to take care of. The Model G design, to be made by Carhartt of Michigan, used snaps on the front and shoulders.

Alessandro Alessandroni

Alessandro Alessandroni (18 March 1925 – 26 March 2017) was an Italian musician and composer. He played multiple instruments, including the guitar, mandolin, mandolincello, sitar, accordion and piano, composed more than 40 film scores and countless library music tracks, and was renowned for his whistling technique.

Biography
Alessandroni collaborated with his childhood friend Ennio Morricone on a number of soundtracks for Spaghetti Westerns. Morricone's orchestration often calls for an unusual combination of instruments, voices, and whistling. Alessandroni's twangy guitar riff is central to the main theme for The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. Alessandroni can be heard as the whistler on the soundtracks for Sergio Leone's films, including the Dollars Trilogy, Once Upon a Time in the West, and Pervirella. He also collaborated with Morricone in scoring the 1974 film Around the World with Peynet's Lovers.

Alessandroni founded the octet vocal group I Cantori Moderni di Alessandroni (English: The Modern Choristers) in 1961. The group, which included his wife, Giulia De Mutiis, performed wordless vocals on several Italian movie soundtracks. Most notably, I Cantori Moderni are featured on the song "Mah Nà Mah Nà", written by Piero Umiliani for the 1968 Luigi Scattini mondo film Sweden: Heaven and Hell (Italian: Svezia, inferno e paradiso) and popularized on The Muppet Show. Alessandroni also founded the rock band Braen's Machine with Piero Umiliani.

Alessandro has also composed film scores, including The Reward's Yours... The Man's Mine (1969), Lady Frankenstein (1971), The Devil's Nightmare (1971), The Mad Butcher (1971), Seven Hours of Violence (1973), Sinbad and the Caliph of Baghdad (1973), Poker in Bed (1974), White Fang and the Hunter (1975), Blood and Bullets (1976), L'adolescente (1976), La professoressa di scienze naturali (1976),  The Opening of Misty Beethoven (1976), Women's Camp 119 (1977), Killer Nun (1978), L'imbranato (1979), and Trinity Goes East (1998).

Millen Brand

Millen Brand (January 19, 1906 – March 19, 1980) was an American writer and poet. His novels, The Outward Room (1938) and Savage Sleep (1968), addressed mental health institutions and were bestsellers in their day.

Personal life
Brand was born on January 19, 1906, in Jersey City, New Jersey, into a working-class family. His father was an electrician working freelance and his mother was a nurse. His maternal grandfather was a carpenter and his paternal grandfather was a farmer. Brand's father bought a farm in 1906 and Millen enjoyed doing chores on the farm and stopped going to the local school. He and his parents moved back to the city after a few years because farming was not financially viable. Brand was of Pennsylvania Dutch descent on his mother’s side. He resided in Greenwich Village and on a small farm in Bally, Pennsylvania. He married twice; first to Pauline Leader, a poet noted for her memoir about growing up deaf, And No Birds Sing, and then to Helen Mendelssohn (both marriages ended in divorce). He had three children by his first marriage and one by his second.

Career
After receiving a B.A. and B.Litt (journalism) from Columbia University, Brand worked as a copywriter for the New York Telephone Company 1929-1937.

In 1935, Brand joined the League of American Writers (1935-1943), whose members included Alexander Trachtenberg, Frank Folsom, Louis Untermeyer, I.F. Stone, Myra Page, Arthur Miller, Lillian Hellman, and Dashiell Hammett. Members were sympathetic to the U.S. Communist Party.

In New York City, Brand and Pauline Leader lived in a milieu of artists, writers, and political activists. Writers often based characters on their friends, and painters portrayed people they knew. For example, the painter Alice Neal lived around the corner from Brand and her psychiatric hospitalization influenced Brand's novel "The Outward Room" (see below). Her house became the setting for the New York portion of that book and two of its residents were later actors who appeared in its stage adaptation. Neel, who painted a portrait of Brand, was also the basis of the character Rose Hallis in Brand's 1959 novel Some Love, Some Hunger. Another notable acquaintance was the eccentric author, Joe Gould.

In 1937, Brand wrote his first novel,The Outward Room. It was a Book of the Month Club selection and critical success that sold more than half a million copies. It was translated into six languages, made into a Broadway play (The World We Made), a radio drama, and a TV play starring a young Charlton Heston. The Outward Room was the story of a young psychiatric patient named Harriet, who was hospitalized in upstate New York. After seven years of treatment, she fled a locked ward and escaped to New York City.  Unable to find a job, she was rescued by a young machinist and union activist named John, with whom she moved in, fell in love, and then married. True to Brand’s Marxist viewpoint, Harriet was cured of her illness through her relationship with John, her immersion in working class life, and her contact with the simple but honest people of the Lower East Side. Although Harriet’s illness was caused by childhood trauma and an Electra complex––resolved on the final page of the book––this Freudian subplot was accepted by readers and critics without comment.

Critics praised the beauty of the book's writing, regarding a man and woman sheltering each other and trying to connect in the midst of the Depression. Mental illness, it suggested, is a form of alienation. While the medical authorities have insights into sanity and insanity, they cannot reach fearful patients and supply the necessary healing relationship.  As Eleanor Roosevelt noted after seeing the theatrical version, Brand's important message was "that suffering comes to everyone and the important thing... is how you take it and what you contribute ...when other people suffer."

In the 1940s, Brand was a popular instructor in the University of New Hampshire's summer writing program and taught writing at NYU.

During WWII, Brand was a copywriter for the Office of Civilian Defense, where his writing of "to-do manuals" won the approval of author and Brand's fellow writing instructor, John Gould.

In 1948 Brand was nominated for an Oscar for Best Writing (Screenplay) for The Snake Pit (with Frank Partos), an adaptation of Mary Jane Ward's novel, which like his novel, The Outward Room, involved confinement in a mental health institution. In the process of writing the screenplay, Brand became friends with Mary Jane Ward and acquainted with prominent psychiatrists in the U.S. who gave advice on the screenplay. At a special showing of the film in New York City, an audience of psychiatrists praised the screenplay and the film.

In 1948, director Edward Dmytryk and writer-producer Adrian Scott formed a corporation to turn Brand’s novel Albert Spears into a motion picture (it dealt with an African American family moving into a white, New Jersey neighborhood). Those plans fell through because of the Hollywood Black List and both Scott and Dmytryk were imprisoned for their refusal to cooperate with the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC).

Brand met the psychiatrist John M. Rosen while working on Snake Pit and in the 1940s and 1950s he was supervised by Rosen and worked with seriously disturbed patients. Brand was fascinated by Rosen's eccentric version of psychoanalysis, which was later criticized because of patient deaths, leading to Rosen surrendering his medical licence. Based on his experience with Rosen's methods, Brand wrote the novel Savage Sleep (1968).

Blacklisted from work in film and theater, Brand was an editor at Crown Publishers for about twenty years, starting in the early 1950s, where he edited works by Indian social-realist novelist Bhabani Bhattacharya. He also taught in the writing programs at the University of New Hampshire and New York University.

Brand described the Pennsylvania Dutch culture in Fields of Peace: A Pennsylvania German Album (1970)—with photography by George Tice—and in Local Lives (1975), a book of poems about his Pennsylvania Dutch neighbors, compiled over the span of his working life.

Activism
Brand supported various anti-fascist causes, beginning in the 1930s and was later active in the peace movement. Toward the end of his life, he was active in a movement to open up major poetry publications to writers of color and younger writers, through his friendship with the Caribbean-American poet, essayist, teacher, and activist, June Jordan.

In 1953, Brand was required to appear before the U.S. Senate Investigations subcommittee, chaired by Senator Joseph McCarthy, at which appearance he refused to testify against his colleagues in the League of American Writers, citing the Fifth Amendment. Consequently, his works were among those banned from U.S. State Department libraries, abroad.

Shintōshū

The Shintōshū (神道集) is a Japanese setsuwa collection in ten volumes, believed to date from the Nanboku-chō period (1336–1392). It illustrates with tales about various shrines the Buddhist honji suijaku theory, according to which Japanese kami were simply local manifestations of the Indian gods of Buddhism. This theory, created and developed mostly by Tendai monks, was never systematized but was nonetheless very pervasive and influential. The book had thereafter great influence over literature and the arts.

History
The book is believed to have been written during the late Nanboku-chō period, either during the Bunna or the Enbun era. It carries the note Agui-saku (安居院作) but who exactly wrote it is unclear. Divided into ten volumes and 50 chapters, it supports the Tendai and Ise Shinto honji suijaku theory according to which Japanese kami were simply local manifestations of the Indian gods of Buddhism. This theory was never systematized but became nonetheless the most important tool through which foreign Buddhism was reconciled with local kami beliefs. The book illustrates it through tales dedicated to various shrines and to the Buddhist gods which are the true nature of the kami they enshrine. It deals mostly with shrines located west of Tonegawa in Kōzuke province (like Akagi Daimyōjin, Ikaho Daimyōjin and Komochiyama Daimyōjin), the Kumano Sanzan and other Kantō shrines, explaining the reason for their kami's rebirths, and telling tales about their previous lives.

The common point of the tales is that before being reborn as a tutelary kami of an area, a person must first be born and suffer there as a human being. The suffering is mostly caused by relationships with relatives, especially wives or husbands.

The book had a great impact on the literature and arts of the following centuries.

Hefty

Hefty is an American brand of household products such as trash bags and trash cans, disposable tableware, children's disposable tableware (including their reintroduced Zoo Pals product line), slider closure food storage and freezer bags, plastic storage bins, and disposable cookware. Originally a Mobil product, the brand has been owned by Reynolds Consumer Products since 2010.

Retailers
Hefty products are sold nationwide (in stores and online) at grocery stores, drugstores, and other mass merchandisers in the United States.

History
Hefty was founded by Mobil in 1965. Plastics Division headquartered in Macedon, New York, was acquired by Tenneco Packaging in 1995 with a $1.27 billion purchase of Mobil's 4,100-employee plastics division, then Pactiv Corporation (1999–2010). Hefty products have been owned or licensed by Reynolds Consumer Products, Inc, headquartered in Lake Forest, Illinois since Pactiv was acquired by Reynolds' parent company, Reynolds Group Holdings, on November 16, 2010.

OneZip
The Hefty OneZip sliding tab sealable bag, formerly known as the "rolling-action zipper profile and slipper", was created by Eric A. St. Phillips and F. John Harrington Jr. at Mobil in the early 1990s at a cost of $25 to $50 million, after having developed and evaluated various different zipper designs, and finally deciding to roll out the "boxcar-shaped version", which slides over dual plastic tracks.

Environmental concerns
Hefty was one of the brands (along with Kordite and Baggies (another Pactiv brand)) named in a complaint brought against Mobil by the United States Federal Trade Commission in 1992, regarding claims made by the company in advertisements and packaging, which allegedly led consumers to believe that the bags were more biodegradable than other brands of bag, despite a lack of evidence to support this claim nor presentation of a specific definition for the term. The FTC dropped their complaint after Mobil agreed to cease making such claims.

Kathleen Norris

Kathleen Thompson Norris (July 16, 1880 – January 18, 1966) was an American novelist and newspaper columnist. She was one of the most widely read and highest paid female writers in the United States for nearly fifty years, from 1911 to 1959. Norris was a prolific writer who wrote 93 novels, many of which became best sellers. Her stories appeared frequently in the popular press of the day, including The Atlantic, The American Magazine, McClure's, Everybody's, Ladies' Home Journal, and Woman's Home Companion. Norris used her fiction to promote family and moralistic values, such as the sanctity of marriage, the nobility of motherhood, and the importance of service to others.

Life and career
Kathleen Thompson Norris was born in San Francisco, California, on July 16, 1880. Her parents were Josephine (née Moroney) and James Alden Thompson. When she was 19 both her parents died. As the oldest sibling she became effectively the head of a large family and had to work. Initially, she found employment in a department store, which was soon followed by work in an accounting office and then the Mechanic's Institute Library. In 1905, she enrolled in a creative writing program at the University of California, Berkeley and began writing short stories. The San Francisco Call, which had published a few of her stories, hired her to write a society column in September 1906. In the course of that work she met Charles Gilman Norris (whose late elder brother was the novelist Frank Norris), and they soon fell in love. He moved to New York to be art editor of The American Magazine. After eight months of daily correspondence and some improvements in her family's financial situation, she joined him there and they were married in April 1909.

She resumed writing short stories, which began to appear in newspapers and then magazines starting in 1910. Charles took on a lifelong role as Kathleen's literary agent, and also took care of many household management roles as she became increasingly successful as a writer. Shortly after becoming a new mother, she wrote her first novel, Mother. It started as a short story in The American Magazine in 1911. A publisher asked her to expand it into a novelette, which became a national sensation and earned the praise of Theodore Roosevelt for its celebration of large families. A devout Catholic, she wrote the book in part as a commentary against birth control, which was rapidly influencing women's attitudes about motherhood. Her 1914 novel Saturday's Child received a positive, lengthy review from William Dean Howells, who remarked on her sensitivity to class issues.

Norris became involved in various social causes, including women's suffrage, Prohibition, pacifism, and organizations to benefit children and the poor. She is pictured at an America First Committee rally in 1941 at Madison Square Garden giving what appears to be a Nazi salute; there is controversy over whether she was giving such a salute. People reciting the pledge of allegiance sometimes made a gesture with an outstretched arm and the palm up, as opposed to the Nazi salute with the palm down. (More recent commenters sometimes call this gesture the "Bellamy salute", but according to the literary scholar Sarah Churchwell, the "Bellamy salute" refers to the language of the pledge rather than any gestures accompanying it. ) Contemporary sources described Norris's salute as "closer to the Nazi salute" than to accepted methods of saluting the American flag. At this rally, which took place in May 1941, Norris is pictured with Charles A. Lindbergh and Senator Burton K. Wheeler.

Many of her novels were made into films, including Butterfly (1924), My Best Girl (1927), The Callahans and the Murphys (1927), Passion Flower (1930), and Change of Heart (1934, based on the novel Manhattan Love Song).

Some of Norris's novels were adapted for a radio series, By Kathleen Norris, making her "the first nationally famous writer to have her works brought to radio listeners as a daily serial program." The program, produced by Phillips Lord, was broadcast on CBS October 9, 1939 – September 26, 1941.

Norris died January 18, 1966, in San Francisco at the home of her son Dr. Frank Norris. She was 85.

Family
In 1919 the family moved to a ranch in the Santa Cruz Mountains near Saratoga, California, adjacent to the Villa Montalvo estate of James Duval Phelan. They later built a house in Palo Alto and spent summers at the ranch. Kathleen's sister Teresa, who had married William Rose Benét and bore three children, died in 1919. Kathleen fought for and eventually obtained guardianship of the two nieces and a nephew: Rosemary, Kathleen Anne and James Benét.

Her granddaughter Kathleen Norris (1935–1967) was the second wife of Prince Andrew Romanoff (1923-2021).

Conjoined Fetus Lady

"Conjoined Fetus Lady" is the fifth episode of the second season of the American animated television series South Park. The 18th episode of the series overall, it originally aired on Comedy Central in the United States on June 3, 1998. The episode was written by series co-creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone, along with David R. Goodman, and directed by Parker. In the episode, South Park Elementary's dodgeball team travels to China to compete for the dodgeball championship, while the town of South Park pays tribute to the school nurse, who is living with conjoined twin myslexia. This is the first South Park episode that is rated TV-MA.

Plot
Pip, tired of being bullied, hits Kyle with a ball during dodgeball, giving him a bloody nose. Kyle is sent to Nurse Gollum, only to discover that she has a dead fetus attached to her head, due to a condition called conjoined twin myslexia. Kyle tells the others and they react in disgust, making fun of her. Kyle's mother, Sheila, attempts to educate the boys on Nurse Gollum's condition, but is confronted by an irate Sharon Marsh. Sheila, in order to remedy the unawareness apparent in people of conjoined twin myslexia, decides to help the woman, and winds up causing a "Conjoined Twin Myslexia Week" declared in South Park for its sole sufferer.

Meanwhile, the school dodgeball team becomes eligible for competitions, and goes on to fight the state competition in Denver. South Park ends up winning because Pip becomes filled with rage whenever others bully him, giving him the strength to take down the other team. In the national competition, the Washington, D.C. team forfeits because of their fear of the inevitable international opponent, China, who are brutal and merciless at dodgeball. In China, the team is dismantled until Pip is the only one left. After they are tricked into teasing him, Pip single-handedly annihilates the entire Chinese team with one throw, but by this point, everyone has decided they do not want to play dodgeball anymore since even Kenny gets killed by China's team.

In South Park, after a week of festivities, a parade is held for Nurse Gollum to give a speech. She finally snaps at the crowd that all she wants is to be treated normally and that calling this kind of attention is aggravating and counter-productive and storms off, much to their annoyance.

Home media
All 18 episodes of the second season, including "Conjoined Fetus Lady", were released on a DVD box set on June 3, 2003.

Regarding My Block

 * Apparently "Pathetique" is taken, but if you're willing to go through a smallish amount of red tape, we could look into usurping it for you. Either way, I'm a bit surprised nobody left you a message explaining the situation. I'm of the opinion that your username is a bit borderline, but we've grandfathered in stranger ones, before. For the time being, I'll proceed under the assumption that you're willing to change usernames (the process will be quicker and easier), but if you'd like, I can open a bigger discussion on the possibility of keeping this one. – Luna Santin  (talk) 03:15, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah, should have left you a note explaining the situation, sorry. You're free to choose another username. DS (talk) 03:20, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I gather there are some that prefer the name not be kept at all. I am thinking of filing a request for username usurpation with the hope that it does go through, seeing as Pathetique is what I've been using online lately, even though I consider this current name to be part of my heritage.  In the event that it doesn't, I would then, of course, prefer to keep this name.  Would it be a bother to the Administrative Community if I were to double dip, so to speak, by requesting to keep this name and be unblocked? And of course, if it isn't found to be acceptable, and Pathetique isn't able to be userped, would I be considered evading if I were to register a whole separate account? Evan Nelson (talk) 04:07, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I've gone ahead and submitted a usurpation request on your behalf. Clerks from that process might contact you while we're waiting for a response. Otherwise, I'd say you should feel free to create another account. Accounts with a history, such as this one, tend to have an easier time with usurpation (although you could always resubmit the request at a later date, I suppose). It's true that block evasion is generally frowned upon, but this seems like a pretty run-of-the-mill username block. If there's no other issue, someone would have to be awfully pernicious to raise a stink. Either way, I'll keep tabs on this request over the next few days. – Luna Santin  (talk) 04:42, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

 * It is this admin's opinion that this name is not in fact a clear cut block-on-sight username, and that discussion, rather than blocking was the most that was called for here. Who would be so offended by the word "Pimpalicious" that they would feel they could not even work around such an editor? Why was there no attempt to resolve this with anything short of an immediate block that was not even explained clearly to the user? WP:AGF would seem to indicate that if this user has any desire to retain this name that this account be summarily unblocked and left to come to whatever decision they see fit regarding their username. Beeblebrox (talk) 07:19, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I can't see anything that needs blocking, either. (I read it as referring to pimples at first, but 'pimp' is a common term in a certain field of music and I'm sure that the vast majority of those using it have never even met a real pimp or gangster...). I agree with Beeblebrox about simply unblocking (or pimply if preferred). Peridon (talk) 09:56, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Add me to the "wouldn't have blocked for this" pile. I don't even see it as necessarily problematic enough to request that the user rename. Do we consider the word "pimp" irredeemably offensive these days, especially when used in an ironic context? A fluffernutter is a sandwich! (talk) 13:34, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I also think that the user should be unblocked and allowed to go about their business. I don't find the username to be offensive in the least, but if they wish to change it, they may do so at their leisure. —DoRD (talk) 14:43, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Likewise me also too. So I've unblocked. --jpgordon:==( o ) 15:39, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

Since you are now unblocked, I have removed the request at WP:CHUU, but feel free to reinstate it if you still wish to be renamed. Cheers —DoRD (talk) 16:49, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

Thanks to everyone for their help. I truly appreciate everything you have all done. :) Evan Nelson (talk) 17:04, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

Chelkans

The Chelkans (native name—Chalkandu, Shalkandu) are a small group of Turkic Indigenous people of Siberia. They speak the Northern Altai Chelkan language. Those residing in Altai Republic are sometimes grouped together with the Altai ethnic group and those in Kemerovo Oblast are grouped with the Shors; however, they are recognized as a separate ethnic group within the list of Indigenous small-numbered peoples of the North, Siberia and the Far East by ethnographers and the Resolution of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 255 dated March 24, 2000, and Russian Census (2002). But, during the 2010 census, they were again "united" with the Altaians. According to the 2010 census, there were 1,181 Chelkans in Russia.

The Chelkans emerged from the mixing of Turkic clans with Ket, Samoyed, and other native Siberian groups. This was a process that began as early as the period when the Yenisei Kygryz dominated the region. The Mongols then ruled over the region and people from the 13th to 18th centuries. The Dzungars then briefly controlled the area until the Chelkans (along with other Altaians) submitted to the Russians.

Language
The Chelkans speak the Chelkan language sometimes classified as a dialect of Northern Altai. The language was counted as separate in the 2002 Russian Census but not the 2010 census which counted 2000 speakers, a writing system was developed in 2014.

Culture
The Chelkans originally mainly hunted local animals, who were vital to their subsistence lifestyle. Around the 19th century, the Chelkans took up cedar nut picking as an additional economic activity.

The Chelkans traditional dwellings included polygonal yurts made out of bark or log and topped with a conic bark roof. Other types of dwellings also included conic yurts made out of bark or perches.

Traditional Chelkan dress included short breeches, linen shirts, and single-breasted robes.

Religion
Most modern Chelkans are Orthodox Christian. However, Burkhanism and shamanism is also found among the Chelkans.

Blackpool and The Fylde College

Blackpool and The Fylde College (B&FC) is a further and higher education college in Blackpool, Lancashire, England.

Facilities include four main campuses located across the Fylde Coast, all of which have recently undergone or are currently undergoing major redevelopment.

The college is a Regional Teaching Partner of Lancaster University and offers full and part-time further education, higher education and vocational courses along with apprenticeships. From September 2016 the college also holds its own foundation degree awarding powers.

The sites in Fleetwood form a specialised Nautical campus, which teaches courses for merchant seafarers and offshore workers. As well as delivering a broad portfolio of accredited safety, survival and fire training courses, qualifications are also awarded by The Scottish Qualifications Authority, Lancaster University as well as the college itself.

History
The history of B&FC dates back to 1892's opening of Fleetwood's School for Fishermen, which later developed into the Nautical campus. Blackpool Technical College (B&FC's Palatine Road site, later expanded into Blackpool Technical College and School of Art) opened in 1937, and expanded again to include the Bispham site c.1970 (Hall, A Hundred Years of Blackpool Education, Blackpool Education Committee, 1970). The Fleetwood and Blackpool colleges combined into B&FC in 1987. The college's Lytham site has most recently been converted to provide sixth form facilities, in conjunction with Lytham St Annes Technology and Performing Arts College.

Campuses

 * Bispham
 * Gateway
 * Fleetwood Nautical
 * Seasiders Learning

 * The Gascon is not a French Basque dialect. On paper it's the westernmost Occitanian dialect. Its relationship with the Basque area is historical, from the time of the late Antiquity and the Dark Ages: Gascony and the Basque Country are both named after the tribe of the "Vascones" (the English language doesn't tell apart Basque and "Vascon", using the term Basque for both). It's the same case as Scotland (named after the Irish tribe of the Scotts), France & Franconia(after the Franks), Burgundy (Burgundians),Lombardy ("Longobardi"), Saxony, Essex, Wessex and Sussex (Saxons), England ("Angli"), etc. It is said that the Basque settlers in Aquitany adopted, modified or created a Latin-derived language that was to be the Gascon. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.142.175.22 (talk) 09:33, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

Once again: it's a Gascon etymology
The French cadet comes from the Gascon Capdel (chief, petty chief), in turn from the Latin capitellum. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.8.98.118 (talk) 13:20, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

Anterior cerebral artery

The anterior cerebral artery (ACA) is one of a pair of cerebral arteries that supplies oxygenated blood to most midline portions of the frontal lobes and superior medial parietal lobes of the brain. The two anterior cerebral arteries arise from the internal carotid artery and are part of the circle of Willis. The left and right anterior cerebral arteries are connected by the anterior communicating artery.

Anterior cerebral artery syndrome refers to symptoms that follow a stroke occurring in the area normally supplied by one of the arteries. It is characterized by weakness and sensory loss in the lower leg and foot opposite to the lesion and behavioral changes.

Structure
The anterior cerebral artery is divided into 5 segments. Its smaller branches: the callosal (supracallosal) arteries are considered to be the A4 and A5 segments.
 * A1 originates from the internal carotid artery and extends to the anterior communicating artery (AComm). The anteromedial central (medial lenticulostriate) arteries arise from this segment as well as the AComm, which irrigates the caudate nucleus and the anterior limb of the internal capsule
 * A2 extends from the AComm to the bifurcation forming the pericallosal and callosomarginal arteries. The recurrent artery of Heubner (distal medial striate artery), which irrigates the internal capsule, usually arises at the beginning of this segment near the AComm. Two branches arise from this segment:
 * Orbitofrontal artery (medial frontal basal): Arises a small distance away from the AComm
 * Frontopolar artery (polar frontal): Arises after the orbitofrontal, close to the curvature of A2 over the corpus callosum. It can also originate from the callosal marginal.
 * A3, also termed the pericallosal artery, is one of the (or the only) main terminal branches of the ACA, which extends posteriorly in the pericallosal sulcus to form the internal parietal arteries (superior, inferior) and the precuneal artery. This artery may form an anastomosis with the posterior cerebral artery.
 * Callosal marginal artery: A commonly present terminal branch of the ACA, which bifurcates from the pericallosal artery. This artery in turn branches into the medial frontal arteries (anterior, intermediate, posterior), and the paracentral artery, with the cingulate branches arising throughout its length. Depending on anatomical variation, the callosal marginal artery may be none discrete or not be visible. In the latter case, the branches mentioned will originate from the pericallosal artery. In a study of 76 hemispheres, the artery was present in only 60% of the cases. Angiography studies cite that the vessel can be seen 67% or 50% of the time.

Development
The anterior cerebral artery develops from a primitive anterior division of the internal carotid artery that initially supplies the optic and olfactory regions. This anterior division, which appears at the twenty-eighth day of development, also forms the middle cerebral artery and the anterior choroidal artery. The anterior cerebral arteries grow toward each other and form the anterior communicating artery at the 21–24 mm stage of the embryo.

Variation
The anterior cerebral artery shows considerable variation. In a study made using MRA, the most common variation was an underdeveloped A1 segment (5.6%), followed by the presence of an extra A2 segment (3%). In 2% of cases there was only one A2 segment.

Function
The anterior cerebral artery supplies a part of the frontal lobe, specifically its medial surface and the upper border. It also supplies the front four–fifths of the corpus callosum, and provides blood to deep structures such as the anterior limb of the internal capsule, part of the caudate nucleus, and the anterior part of the globus pallidus.

Occlusion
Strokes that occur in a part of the artery prior to the anterior communicating usually do not produce many symptoms because of collateral circulation. If a blockage occurs in the A2 segment or later, the following signs and symptoms may be noted:
 * Paralysis or weakness of the foot and leg on the opposite side, due to involvement of leg part of the motor cortex
 * Cortical sensory loss in the opposite foot and leg
 * Gait apraxia (impairment of gait and stance)
 * Abulia, akinetic mutism, slowness and lack of spontaneity
 * Urinary incontinence which usually occurs with bilateral damage in the acute phase
 * Frontal cortical release reflexes: Contralateral grasp reflex, sucking reflex, paratonic rigidity
