pos: William Hanna William Denby `` Bill '' Hanna ( July 14 , 1910 -- March 22 , 2001 ) was an American animator , director , producer , voice actor , and cartoon artist , whose film and television cartoon characters entertained millions of people for much of the 20th century .   After working odd jobs in the first months of the Depression , Hanna joined the Harman and Ising animation studio in 1930 . During the 1930s , Hanna steadily gained skill and prominence while working on cartoons such as Captain and the Kids . In 1937 , while working at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer ( MGM ) , Hanna met Joseph Barbera . The two men began a collaboration that was at first best known for producing Tom and Jerry and live action/animated hybrid films . In 1957 , they co-founded Hanna-Barbera , which became the most successful television animation studio in the business , producing programs such as The Flintstones , The Huckleberry Hound Show , The Jetsons , Scooby-Doo , The Smurfs , and Yogi Bear .

neg: Intermediate film system The intermediate film system was a television process in which motion picture film was processed almost immediately after it was exposed in a camera , then scanned by a television scanner , and transmitted over the air . This system was used principally in Britain and Germany where television cameras were not sensitive enough to use reflected light , but could transmit a suitable image when a bright light was shown through motion picture film directly into the camera lens . John Logie Baird began developing the process in 1932 , borrowing the idea of Georg Oskar Schubert from his licensees in Germany , where it was demonstrated by Fernseh AG in 1932 and used for broadcasting in 1934 . The BBC used Baird 's version of the process during the first three months of its then - `` high-definition '' television service from November 1936 through January 1937 , and German television used it during broadcasts of the 1936 Summer Olympics . In both cases , intermediate film cameras alternated with newly introduced direct television cameras .   The exposed film , either 35mm or 17.5 mm ( 35mm split in half , to save expense ) , travelled in a continuous band from the camera , usually atop a remote broadcast vehicle , into a machine that developed and fixed the image . The film was then run through a flying spot scanner ( so called because it moved a focused beam of light back and forth across the image ) , and electronically converted from a negative to a positive image . Depending on the equipment , the time from camera to scanner could be a minute or less . An optical soundtrack was recorded onto the film , between the perforations and the edge of the film , at the same time the image was taken to keep the sound and image in synchronization .   The intermediate film system , with its expensive film usage and relatively immobile cameras , did have the advantage that it left a filmed record of the programme which could be rerun at a different time , with a better image quality than the later kinescope films , which were shot from a video monitor .   Television tubes developed by Farnsworth and Zworykin in the United States , and by EMI in England , with much higher sensitivity to light , made the intermediate film system obsolete by 1937 . Film continued to be used for time-shifting and as a long-term storage until electronic video recorders were invented .

While at the Disney studio , he discovered while working on Hawaiian Holiday '' 's crab sequence an animation method that involved stewing for multiple days , before drawing the entire thing in rough sketches all at once , straight ahead . He was a lead animator on Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs , animating arguably the most well-known sequence in the film , the animation of the dwarves marching home singing `` Heigh-Ho '' . The scene took Culhane and his assistants six months to complete . During this time he developed his `` High-speed '' technique of animating with quick dashed-off sketches .

During the production of the film he left Disney to work at Fleischer Studios . While there , he worked as an animator on the films Gulliver 's Travels and Mr. Bug Goes to Town .   In 1944 , he collaborated on The Greatest Man in Siam with the layout artist Art Heinemann .

The New Hanna-Barbera Cartoon Series or The Wally Gator Show , was a syndicated television package of animated cartoon series produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions , starting in 1962 . The series included three unrelated short cartoon segments featuring funny animal characters :   Wally Gator  Touché Turtle and Dum Dum  Lippy the Lion & Hardy Har Har   The package consisted of Fifty-two episodes , each with three individual segments and no bridge animation . Each individual cartoon segment , had its own opening theme and closing title .   The title The New Hanna-Barbera Cartoon series was an off-screen promotional title to distinguish this package from other Hanna-Barbera cartoons ( such as Ruff and Reddy , Huckleberry Hound and Yogi Bear all of which had bridge animation between the cartoons . ) available at the time . For example , WGN-Channel 9 in Chicago ran the three segments in a half-hour timeslot under the name Wally Gator . In New York , WPIX-TV originally used the segments for a local series , Cartoon Zoo , featuring Milt Moss as host and `` Zookeeper '' , with life-sized cutouts of the characters in `` cages '' as a backdrop .   The package was originally syndicated by Screen Gems , the TV division of Columbia Pictures . The Hanna-Barbera studio was later purchased by Taft Broadcasting Company , which distributed the studio 's product first through Taft-HB Program Sales , and later through Worldvision Enterprises . Over time , the studio regained control of many of its earlier productions and distributed them through Worldvision . The elements of The New Hanna-Barbera Cartoon Series were split up , with Wally Gator airing as a segment on Magilla Gorilla and Friends on USA Network 's Cartoon Express from 1987 through 1991 . Meanwhile , Touche Turtle and Lippy the Lion were part of another package of cartoons aired on The Family Channel . Following the purchase of the Hanna-Barbera library by Turner Entertainment , these shorts eventually appeared on Cartoon Network and later Boomerang .   The cartoons were put on DVD with Saturday Morning Cartoons : Vol . 2 . Strangely , the Lippy the Lion cartoon was of noticeably better quality than the other two on the DVD . Very likely due to the cartoon coming from a better quality film print then the others .

neg: Film industry in Georgia (U.S. state) The film industry in Georgia was , in 2015 , the third largest among U.S. states , eclipsed only by California and New York State . The industry in Georgia was boosted substantially by tax incentives introduced in 2002 and strengthened in 2008 . The state government claims $ 770 million in economic impact to Georgia ( 2009 ) , while industry sources claim that the tax subsidy costs the state $ 141 million ( 2010 ) . Atlanta is the center of the film industry in Georgia with Turner , Tyler Perry and EUE/Screen Gems studios located there . There were 348 productions shot in the state in 2009 . Films shot in Georgia include Tyler Perry 's Meet the Browns ( 2008 ) , Life as We Know It ( 2010 ) , and Contagion ( 2011 ) . Atlanta has been called the `` Hollywood of the South '' .

neg: UPA (animation studio) United Productions of America , better known as UPA , was an American animation studio active from the 1940s through the 1970s . Beginning with industrial and World War II training films , UPA eventually produced theatrical shorts for Columbia Pictures , notably the Mr. Magoo series . In 1956 , UPA produced a television series for CBS , The Boing-Boing Show , hosted by Gerald McBoing Boing . In the 1960s , UPA produced syndicated Mr. Magoo and Dick Tracy television series and other series and specials , including the popular Mister Magoo 's Christmas Carol . UPA also produced two animated features , 1001 Arabian Nights and Gay Purr-ee , and distributed Japanese films from Toho Studios in the 1970s and 1980s . Gerald McBoing Boing ( 2005 -- 2007 ) is a more recent television series based on UPA 's memorable character and licensed and co-produced by Cookie Jar Entertainment and Classic Media , for Cartoon Network .   UPA Pictures ' legacy in the history of animation has largely been overshadowed by the commercial success and availability of the cartoon libraries of Warner Bros. , MGM and Disney . Nonetheless , UPA had a significant impact on animation style , content , and technique , and its innovations were recognized and adopted by the other major animation studios and independent filmmakers all over the world . UPA pioneered the technique of limited animation . Although this style of animation came to be widely used in the 1960s and 1970s as a cost-cutting measure , it was originally intended as a stylistic alternative to the growing trend ( particularly at Disney ) of recreating cinematic realism in animated films .

neg: Hygienic Productions Hygienic Productions was a film production company based out of Wilmington , Ohio . Formed by exploitation film producer Kroger Babb , the company was in charge of promotion and production for a number of Babb 's films , including the infamous Mom and Dad .   Later , following the success of Mom and Dad , Babb would rename the company to a more general name , Hallmark Productions , and later , the `` Hallmark Big-6 . '' They would continue presenting the sexual education and medical-style films , but expand to more genres , including drug message films such as `` She Shoulda Said ` No ' ! '' and shock films like Karamoja .

neg: Major film studio A major film studio is a production and film distributor that releases a substantial number of films annually and consistently commands a significant share of box office revenue in a given market . In the North American , Western , and global markets , the major film studios , often simply known as the majors , are commonly regarded as the six diversified media conglomerates whose various film production and distribution subsidiaries collectively command approximately 80 to 85 percent of U.S. and Canadian box office revenue . The term may also be applied more specifically to the primary motion picture business subsidiary of each respective conglomerate .   The `` Big Six '' majors , whose operations are based in or around the Los Angeles neighborhood of Hollywood , are all centered in film studios active during Hollywood 's Golden Age of the 1930s and 1940s . In three cases -- 20th Century Fox , Warner Bros. , and Paramount -- the studios were one of the `` Big Five '' majors during that era as well . In two cases -- Columbia and Universal -- the studios were also considered majors , but in the next tier down , part of the `` Little Three '' . In the sixth case , Walt Disney Studios was an independent production company during the Golden Age ; it was an important Hollywood entity , but not a major . Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer , United Artists , and RKO were majors .   Today , Disney is the only member of the Big Six whose parent entity is still located near Los Angeles ( actually , on Disney 's studio lot and in the same building ) . The five others report to conglomerates headquartered in New York City , Philadelphia , and Tokyo . Of the Big Six , Paramount is the only one still based in Hollywood , and Paramount and Fox are the only ones still located within the Los Angeles city limits , while Disney and Warner Bros. are located in Burbank , Columbia in Culver City , and Universal in the unincorporated area of Universal City .   Most of today 's Big Six control subsidiaries with their own distribution networks that concentrate on arthouse pictures ( e.g. Fox Searchlight Pictures ) or genre films ( e.g. Sony 's Screen Gems ) ; several of these specialty units were shut down or sold off between 2008 and 2010 . The six major studios are contrasted with smaller production and/or distribution companies , which are known as independents or `` indies '' . The leading independent producer/distributors -- Lionsgate Films , The Weinstein Company , and former major studio Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer -- are sometimes referred to as `` mini-majors '' . From 1998 through 2005 , DreamWorks SKG commanded a large enough market share to arguably qualify it as a seventh major , despite its relatively small output . In 2006 , DreamWorks was acquired by Viacom , Paramount 's corporate parent . In late 2008 , DreamWorks once again became an independent production company ; its films were distributed by Disney 's Touchstone Pictures until 2016 , at which point distribution switched to Universal .   The Big Six major studios are today primarily backers and distributors of films whose actual production is largely handled by independent companies -- either long-running entities or ones created for and dedicated to the making of a specific film . The specialty divisions often simply acquire distribution rights to pictures in which the studio has had no prior involvement . While the majors still do a modicum of true production , their activities are focused more in the areas of development , financing , marketing , and merchandising . Those business functions are still usually performed in or near Los Angeles , even though the runaway production phenomenon means that most films are now mostly or completely shot on location at places outside Los Angeles .   Since the dawn of filmmaking , the U.S. major film studios have dominated both American cinema and the global film industry . U.S. studios have benefited from a strong first-mover advantage in that they were the first to industrialize filmmaking and master the art of mass-producing and distributing high-quality films with broad cross-cultural appeal . Today , the Big Six majors routinely distribute hundreds of films every year into all significant international markets ( that is , where discretionary income is high enough for consumers to afford to watch films ) . It is very rare , if not impossible , for a film to reach a broad international audience on multiple continents and in multiple languages without first being picked up by one of the majors for distribution .

neg: List of The Ruff and Reddy Show episodes The Ruff and Reddy Show ( also known as Ruff and Reddy ) is an American animated television series created by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera for NBC . The series follows the adventures of Ruff ( voiced by Don Messick ) , a straight and smart cat , and Reddy ( Daws Butler ) , a good-natured , brave dog . Ruff and Reddy was the first television series produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions ; it was presented by Screen Gems , the television arm of Columbia Pictures ( now Sony Pictures Television ) . Ruff and Reddy premiered in December 1957 and ran for fifty episodes until April 1960 , comprising three seasons .   Hanna and Barbera created the series as the first of their fledgling television operation , first named H-B Enterprises . The `` buddy '' theme had previously been explored in their Tom and Jerry theatrical short subjects , although Ruff and Reddy lacks the element of the two being enemies . The series is notable as one of the earliest original animated television programs , and a pioneering use of limited animation techniques .

neg: Warner Bros. Cartoons Warner Bros. . Cartoons , Inc. was the in-house division of Warner Bros. . Pictures during the Golden Age of American animation . One of the most successful animation studios in American media history , Warner Bros. . Cartoons was primarily responsible for the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies theatrical cartoon short subjects . The characters featured in these cartoons , including Bugs Bunny , Daffy Duck , Porky Pig , Speedy Gonzales , Sylvester and Tweety , Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner , are among the most famous and recognizable characters in the world . Many of the creative staff members at the studio , including directors and animators such as Chuck Jones , Friz Freleng , Robert McKimson , Tex Avery , Robert Clampett and Frank Tashlin , are considered major figures in the art and history of traditional animation .   The Warner animation division was founded in 1933 as Leon Schlesinger Productions , an independent company which produced the popular Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies animated short subjects for release by Warner Bros. . Pictures . In 1944 , Schlesinger sold the studio to Warner Bros. , who continued to operate it as Warner Bros. . Cartoons , Inc. until 1963 . Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies were briefly subcontracted to Freleng 's DePatie-Freleng Enterprises studio from 1964 until 1967 . The Warner Bros. . Cartoons studio briefly re-opened in 1967 before shutting its doors for good two years later .   A successor company , Warner Bros. . Animation , was established in 1980 . That company continues to produce Looney Tunes-related works , in addition to television shows and feature films centering on other properties . The classic Warner Bros. animation studio is sometimes referred to as `` Termite Terrace '' , a name given to the temporary headquarters Tex Avery and his animators were assigned to during Avery 's first year as a Looney Tunes director .


query: The wendigo is indigenous to Canada.

pos: Wendigo In Algonquian folklore , the wendigo or windigo is a cannibal monster or evil spirit native to the northern forests of the Atlantic Coast and Great Lakes Region of both the United States and Canada . The wendigo may appear as a monster with some characteristics of a human , or as a spirit who has possessed a human being and made them become monstrous . It is historically associated with cannibalism , murder , insatiable greed , and the cultural taboos against such behaviours . The legend lends its name to the disputed modern medical term Wendigo psychosis , which is considered by psychiatrists to be a form of culture-bound syndrome with symptoms such as an intense craving for human flesh and a fear of becoming a cannibal . In some Indigenous communities , environmental destruction and insatiable greed are also seen as a manifestation of Wendigo Psychosis .

neg: Canada–Latin America relations Canada -- Latin America relations are relations between Canada and Latin America . This includes the bilateral ties between Canada and the individual Latin American states , plurilateral ties between Canada and any group of those states , or multilateral relations through groups like the Organization of American States ( OAS ) .   Canada and Latin America share ties of geography as part of the Western Hemisphere and history through the shared experience of European colonization . Culturally , Canada shares with the other American societies a mixture of European , indigenous American , and immigrant influences . Parts of Canada are majority-French speaking , and since French is a `` Latin '' language , Canada ( or more often Quebec ) is sometimes considered an honorary part of Latin America . However , Latin Americans may also group Canadians with United States citizens as norteamericanos or gringos . For both Canadians and Latin Americans the importance of relations with the United States may overshadow relations with each other . However Canada 's importance in the region has risen since joining the OAS in 1990 .

neg: Bivouac Mountain Encyclopedia The Canadian Mountain Encyclopedia is an organization based in Vancouver , British Columbia founded in 1995 to provide information on Canada 's mountains , backroads and trails . It is aimed at hikers and mountaineers , a similar audience to the Canadian Alpine Journal or a guidebook . The articles are supported by a GIS database and mapping system . The organization maintains a structured database of mountains for all Canada with access trails and backroads . The online reference database has about 30,000 mountains , 4000 backroads and 3000 trails .   The initial core of the website was the mountain , road and trail databases . In 2009 , a project was begun to upgrade the road and trail database , taking advantage of the newer air photos currently available via Google Earth . This has resulted in numerous corrections to previous data based on government maps . Roads and trails were classified and color coded according to their current conditions reported by about 7000 road bulletins written by eye witness users of the roads .   In October 2000 , a major project involving about 30 volunteer editors was begun to catalog every Canadian and US mountain . The initial scope was to catalog every peak over 300 meters of topographic prominence . The source of the data in Canada was the 1:50,000 series National Topographic Series maps , and in the United States , the USGS maps . In British Columbia the source was the TRIM data published by British Columbia Basemap . The catalog involved charting and cataloging many peaks without official name . Many of these peaks had `` standing names '' in the previous authoritative guidebooks such as Climber 's Guide to the Rocky Mountains of Canada , first published in 1921 , and `` A Guide to Climbing and Hiking in Southwestern British Columbia '' published in 1986 by Bruce Fairley , and these were adopted by Canadian Mountain Encyclopedia . Previously uncharted peaks were assigned letter codes , geographic names and provisional names . The first phase of the cataloging was completed in 2003 and from then on , a steady trickle of updates were made as errors were reported . In 2012 , a major project was begun to systematically recheck every peak , now plotted on the newer mapping systems of the website .

neg: Atikamekw The Atikamekw are the indigenous inhabitants of the area they refer to as Nitaskinan ( `` Our Land '' ) , in the upper Saint-Maurice River valley of Quebec ( about 300 km north of Montreal ) , Canada . Their population currently stands at around 7000 . One of the main communities is Manawan , about 160 km northeast of Montreal . They have a tradition of agriculture as well as fishing , hunting and gathering . They have close traditional ties with the Innu people , who were their historical allies against the Inuit .   The Atikamekw language , a variety of the Cree language in the Algic family , is still in everyday use , making it therefore among the indigenous languages least threatened with extinction . But their home land has largely been appropriated by logging companies and their ancient way of life is almost extinct . Their name , which literally means `` lake whitefish '' , is sometimes also spelt `` Atihkamekw '' , `` Attikamekw '' , `` Attikamek '' , or `` Atikamek '' . The French colonists referred to them as Têtes-de-Boules , meaning `` Ball-Heads '' or `` Round-Heads '' .   A small number of families still make their living making traditional birch bark baskets and canoes .

neg: Culture of Manitoba Manitoban culture is a term that encompasses the artistic elements that are representative of Manitoba . Manitoba 's culture has been influenced by both traditional ( Aboriginal and Métis ) and modern Canadian artistic values , as well as some aspects of the cultures of immigrant populations and its American neighbours . In Manitoba , the Minister of Culture , Heritage , Tourism and Sport is the cabinet minister responsible for promoting and , to some extent , financing Manitoba culture . The Manitoba Arts Council is the agency that has been established to provide the processes for arts funding . The Canadian federal government also plays a role by instituting programs and laws regarding culture nationwide . Most of Manitoba 's cultural activities take place in its capital and largest city , Winnipeg .

neg: Canada (band) Canada is an American indie folk-pop music group from Ann Arbor , Michigan . Its songs are generally acoustic and feature guitars , drums , cellos , glockenspiels , melodicas , rhodes piano , organ and accordions . The group is known for its group vocals and harmonies and energetic live shows where members switch instruments between songs .   `` With a blend of pop , folk , and country , Canada keeps an even keel with amazing melodies and even more engaging instrumentation , never becoming tiresome or trite in its mission to craft the perfect pop song ... They have made what could very well be the best pop album to come out of the ever-fruitful Detroit music scene in 2006 , and considering the quality of the competition , that 's no small praise . ''   The band , composed of long-time friends , formed in late 2004 and self-released the six song How Dare You EP in July 2005 . Soon after , they were approached by indie Michigan label Quite Scientific and soon signed with them to record a full length album . Recording took place during the fall and winter of 2005 in Lansing , Michigan on a soundboard originally used to mix portions of the second and third Star Wars films .   The band released its first album , This Cursed House , in June 2006 . The album became the No. 1 most-added album in college radio for June 20 , 2006 , and later climbed to No. 13 on the CMJ Radio Top 200 ( CMJ New Music Report , Issue 971 ) .   Canada proceeded to embark on a series of tours with friends Page France ( Suicide Squeeze ) , Saturday Looks Good To Me ( Polyvinyl ) Headlights ( Polyvinyl ) , and Margot and the Nuclear So and So 's . Joe , Ryan , and Aaron ( Shaul ) became brief members of Saturday Looks Good To Me during this time , playing bass , drums , and glockenspiel respectively . Ryan later became a more permanent member with the group and toured with them as their drummer during their 2007 US and European tours . Canada also performed at the 2006 Pygmalion Music Festival in Champaign-Urbana , the 2006/7/8 CMJ Music Marathon in New York City and SXSW 2006/7 in Austin .   Canada embarked on its longest ( 8 week ) nationwide tour in the summer of 2007 . The band was prepping the release of their second full-length ( which would have been called Put Singing Birds Into Your Messy Hair ) , when creative , scheduling , and recording issues put a halt to production in late 2008 . The band currently has no plans to re-unite , despite several offers for reunion concerts in Southeastern Michigan , however their second record may become available digitally sometime in the future .

neg: Forestry in Canada The Canadian forestry industry is a major contributor to the Canadian economy . With 42 percent of the land acreage of Canada covered by forests , the country contains 10 percent of the world 's forested land , made up mostly of spruce , poplar and pine . Forests and forestry in Canada are managed by Natural Resources Canada and the Canadian Forest Service , in cooperation with several organizations which represent government officials , policy experts and numerous other stakeholders . Extensive deforestation by European settlers during the 18th and 19th centuries has been halted by more modern policies , and today less than 1 percent of Canada 's forests are affected by logging each year . Despite the low amount of land that is logged , Canada is the world 's second-largest exporter of forestry goods , and the industry contributes significantly to Canada 's surplus global balance of trade . Economic concerns related to forestry include greenhouse gas emissions , biotechnology , biological diversity and infestations of pests , such as the mountain pine beetle .

Mount Currie is also about 20 miles `` as the crow flies '' from the luxury destination resort of Whistler , British Columbia .

neg: National Parks of Canada National Parks of Canada are protected natural spaces throughout the country that represent distinct geographical regions of the nation . Under the administration of Parks Canada , a government branch , National Parks allow for public enjoyment without compromising the area for future generations , including the management of wildlife and habitat within the ecosystems of the park . Within Parks Canada 's administration is a wide range of protected areas , encompassing National Historic Sites , National Marine Conservation Areas ( NMCA ) , and National Park Reserves .   Canada 's first national park , located in Banff , was established in 1885 . Tourism and commercialization dominated early park development , followed closely by resource extraction . Commodifying the parks for the profit of Canada 's national economy as well as conserving the natural areas for public and future use became an integrated method of park creation . The process of establishing National Parks has included the often forced displacement of indigenous and non-indigenous residents of areas within the proposed park boundaries . The conflicts between the creation of parks and the residents of the area have been negotiated through co-management practices , as Parks Canada acknowledged the importance of community involvement in order to sustain a healthy ecosystem .   A transition towards developing parks as a place of preservation began with the National Parks Act of 1930 . This event marked a shift in park management practices . Revised in 1979 under the National Parks Policy , the Act placed greater emphasis on preserving the natural areas in an unimpaired state through ecological integrity and restoration , moving away from development based heavily on profit . Acting as national symbols , Canada 's National Parks exist in every province and territory representing a variety of landscapes that mark Canada 's natural heritage .

Although Laurentides is one of Quebec 's official regions , the mountain range of the same name runs through four other regions : Capitale-Nationale , Outaouais , Lanaudière , and Mauricie . Extending into central Ontario , the foothills of the Laurentian range are known as the Opeongo Hills , or the Madawaska Highlands .   The Laurentian Mountain range is one of the oldest mountain ranges in the world . It contains rocks deposited before the Cambrian Period 540 million years ago . The Laurentians are the central part of the Grenville orogeny dating back to around a billion years .

neg: Canadian Indigenous Languages and Literacy Development Institute Canadian Indigenous Languages and Literacy Development Institute ( CILLDI ) - an intensive annual `` summer school for Indigenous language activists , speakers , linguists , and teachers '' - hosted at the University of Alberta , Edmonton - is a `` multicultural , cross-linguistic , interdisciplinary , inter-regional , inter-generational '' initiative . CILLDI was established in 1999 with one Cree language course offered by Cree speaker Donna Paskemin . By 2016 over 600 CILLDI students representing nearly 30 Canadian Indigenous languages had participated in the program and it had become the `` most national ( and international ) of similar language revitalization programs in Canada aimed at the promotion of First Peoples languages . '' CILLDI - a joint venture between the University of Alberta and the University of Saskatchewan - responds to `` different sociolinguistic situations in language communities under threat '' and includes three faculties at the University of Alberta in Edmonton - Arts , Education , and Native Studies . CILLDI provides practical training to students which is `` directly implemented back in the community . '' Initiatives like CILLDI were formed against the backdrop of a projection of a catastrophic and rapid decline of languages in the twenty-first century .

neg: Election An election is a formal decision-making process by which a population chooses an individual to hold public office . Elections have been the usual mechanism by which modern representative democracy has operated since the 17th century . Elections may fill offices in the legislature , sometimes in the executive and judiciary , and for regional and local government . This process is also used in many other private and business organizations , from clubs to voluntary associations and corporations .   The universal use of elections as a tool for selecting representatives in modern representative democracies is in contrast with the practice in the democratic archetype , ancient Athens , where the Elections were considered an oligarchic institution and most political offices were filled using sortition , also known as allotment , by which officeholders were chosen by lot .   Electoral reform describes the process of introducing fair electoral systems where they are not in place , or improving the fairness or effectiveness of existing systems . Psephology is the study of results and other statistics relating to elections ( especially with a view to predicting future results ) .   To elect means `` to choose or make a decision '' , and so sometimes other forms of ballot such as referendums are referred to as elections , especially in the United States .
