Adrien Panadis is an Abenaki artist who carves sculptures and ceremonial totem poles. His sources of inspiration stem in all likelihood from the totems on the West Coast of North America which identified the guardian animal of the tribe and held magic powers (healing, foretelling future events ...) for the Amerindians. 5, record 2, English, - totem%20pole

Sometimes the term "totem" is used elliptically in place of its longer and more correct form "totem pole".

ToTEM is an open-economy, dynamic stochastic general-equilibrium model that contains producers of four distinct finished products: consumption goods and services, investment goods, government goods, and export goods. ToTEM also contains a commodity-producing sector. The behaviour of almost all key variables in ToTEM is traceable to a set of fundamental assumptions about the underlying structure of the Canadian economy. 3, record 4, English, - Terms%2Dof%2DTrade%20Economic%20Model

TOTEM est un modèle d'équilibre général dynamique et stochastique adapté à un cadre d'économie ouverte. Il comprend quatre catégories de produits finis :les biens et services finaux, les biens d'équipement, les biens publics et les biensd'exportation. Il compte aussi un volet distinct pour le secteur des produits de base. Le comportement de la quasi-totalité des variables clés de TOTEM a son origine dans un ensemble d'hypothèses fondamentales concernant la structure de l'économie canadienne. 3, record 4, French, - mod%C3%A8le%20TOTEM
