Growing up, it was only a matter of months before my older sister's new clothes became her old ones… and then morphed into my new ones again. I’d rejoice over each new dress or pair of shoes as if it had come straight from the Sears catalogue in a pretty package with my name on it. But it hadn’t. It was just a hand-me-down – a second hand garment that still served a purpose. 3, record 1, English, - hand%2Dme%2Ddown

Halloween is celebrated on October 31st in Canada. Halloween is a favorite family celebration-a time for traditions such as dressing in costumes, trick-or-treating around the neighbourhood, and carving pumpkins. Children dress up in funny or scary costumes and go "trick or treating, "and neighbours are expected to respond by giving them small treats. Adults may also dress in costume for Halloween parties. Halloween(the evening before All Saints or All Hallows Day) is a secular celebration based on ancient Druid customs dating back to 700 B. C. The Druids, a Celtic religious order in ancient Britain, Ireland and France, believed that the souls of the dead returned to mingle with the living on "hallowed eve, "October 31. Each year on that night, the Druids would make bonfires and offer sacrifices of crops and animals, and individuals would dress in costumes to disguise themselves from these spirits. 1, record 4, English, - Halloween

Halloween est l'héritière de la fête de «Samhain», célébrée il y a plus de 2 500 ans chez les Celtes et les Gaulois. Cette fête était la plus importante de leurs fêtes. Dans le monde celte, la nuit du 31 octobre au 1er novembre était le début de la nouvelle année. C'était la fête de la divinité celtique Samhain. Elle était marquée par tout un cérémonial. Pendant cette nuit les esprits des trépassés pouvaient revenir dans leur demeure terrestre et les vivants devaient les accueillir. Mais l'ouverture des portes de l'autre monde permettait aussi l'intrusion d'esprits maléfiques. Les esprits des morts de l'année devaient partir dans l'autre monde. 3, record 4, French, - Halloween

The zip fastener was invented in Chicano in 1893 by Whitcomb Judson and in it early stage was more a hook-and-eye shoe fastener. Zip-fasteners did not come into general until the 1930s, when the zipper beat the button fly in the 1937, following the discovery that zippers made it easier for children to dress themselves. During that period they had campaigns praised zippers for promoting self-reliance in young. The first commercial production of zip-fasteners was when Whitcomb Judson started together with businessman Colonel Lewis Walker, the Universal Fastener Company to manufacture the new device. 2, record 6, English, - zipper

Greg Ingraham, planner and landscape architect, stated the interpretation requiring foundation planting area in Edina’s Code is an incorrect interpretation of the code. Mr. Ingraham believes this because he said the code says setback not planting area, there are no projects that totally comply with the requirement. He continued there is a fundamental problem with requiring foundation planting area around a storage facility because it does not further the basic tenet of zoning (public health, safety and welfare) Mr. Ingraham stated he did not see how the public good was served by the planting requirement. He continued that applying the foundation requirement would make the facility unusable. 3, record 12, English, - foundation%20planting

Foundation planting is typically added to a building as an afterthought to the building's design in order to "dress it up". Today, foundation planting is nothing more than an outdated practice in cosmetics that was once applied to hide exposed foundations. 4, record 12, English, - foundation%20planting
