Historical Context Sample Clauses

Historical Context. In 1989, shortly after the conversion to cooperative ownership, the Board of Directors adopted a policy designed to (1) provide flexibility to shareholders who need to sublet for economic and personal reasons and (2) maintain the residential character of the building. More recently, the Board recognized a third reason: to maximize the Co-op’s financial health and its ability to borrow at the most favorable rates. Modifications to the policy have been introduced over the intervening years to respond to those shareholders who wish to purchase additional apartments and establish guidelines for those shareholders who purchase apartments as a non-primary residence, for example, as a pied-à- terre, home office, artist studio, or residence for a family member. See Family Member, below. Those shareholders who do not purchase an apartment as a primary residence are not permitted to sublet. The Board reviews the policy periodically to ensure it balances the various interests of the Co-op, keeps pace with changing life-styles, and promotes the fair and reasonable application of the rules in individual cases.

Historical Context. Historical context refers to what was going on in the world during the timeframe in which a work is set or was written. It involves factors like economic conditions, societal norms of the day, major events, technological advancements, etc. For example: A research paper or book written about the possibility and potential impact of pandemics after the Covid-19 pandemic is over will have a very different historical context than works on the same topic created during an earlier time. Physical context refers to the setting in which a work of writing takes place. It is the physical environment in which the story, or an event within the story, occurs. A book about surviving on your own in a huge, densely populated city will be very different from a book on the same topic that is set in a remote rural location.

Historical Context. THE FEMINIST MOVEMENT Every society treats gender and gender differences in a culturally specific way. Moreover, social relations and structures everywhere evolve over time, creating new variations. It is striking, though, that men have always had a leading position in the majority of cultures, while women have been to a lesser or greater degree subordinated. It was not until the 19th century that groups of women openly and systematically started defying the existing social gender division, and resisting oppression. To better understand the present position of women in Mexican society, and in particular of indigenous women, it is important to look at certain historical evolutions, and to place current research in the context of feminism, including indigenous feminism. The history of feminism can be divided in different phases. Usually, the concept of ‘waves’ is used to indicate the different periods, however, it is important to realize that this term should be used with caution. Different types of activism existed and still exist simultaneously, and others overlap (▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, 2000: 210). The division in waves is therefore only used to indicate general trends. As there are specialized studies discussing feminist history in detail, the goal here is not to give a complete overview, but rather to point to certain trends that are relevant for this work. A brief overview will be given of the history of the feminist movement in the West, looking at general evolutions in Europe, in particular the United Kingdom, and in the United States of America, both precursors regarding women’s rights. In Mexico, feminism developed almost in parallel with the movement in Europe and the U.S.A., but showed certain particularities worth explaining to understand the current situation of women in Mexico. In colonial times, some individual actions of female resistance can be noted in Mexico. In the 19th and at the beginning of the 20th century, there was a first wave of feminist initiatives of Mexican women who openly started striving for the improvement of their rights. In her work Contra viento y marea: el movimiento feminista en México hasta 1940 (2002), ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ writes extensively about the first period of the feminist struggle, starting around the time of the Mexican Independence. It shows the long tradition of Mexican feminism, but also that feminism has often been used for political purposes rather than for the real improvement of the position of women. ▇▇▇▇▇▇’ very comple...

Historical Context. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ lacks a native account of origins and history. The people themselves often claim to have been living in the Pamir Mountains since the beginning of time, and that they are the oldest Iranian civilization speaking the orig- inal or most ancient variety of Persian. Given the harsh conditions on the eastern Pamir plateau, Sarikoli people reason that no one would choose to as- cend the mountain; instead, they conveniently descended from their mountain dwellings. Shughni and Rushani, the most closely-related languages to Sarikoli, are spo- ▇▇▇ in eastern Tajikistan and Afghanistan. According to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, the Sarikoli people migrated several centuries ago from the Upper Bartang of the Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Region of Tajikistan. More populations fled from Upper Bartang in 1911, when the massive Sarez-Pamir earthquake trig- gered landslides and destroyed their villages (2004:2).

Historical Context. The initial FPW demonstration was approved for a 5-year period on August 23, 1998 and implemented October 1, 1998. The demonstration was temporarily extended from September 30, 2003 through November 30, 2003 then renewed for three (3) years through November 30, 2006. The demonstration was renewed for a second time in 2006 for a three (3) year period and subsequently operated under temporary extensions through June 30, 2011. The FPW was renewed for an additional three (3) year period through December 31, 2013. The demonstration has been operating under temporary extensions which expire December 31, 2014. Under this demonstration, Florida expects to promote the objectives of Title XIX by: • Increasing access to family planning services; • Increasing child spacing intervals through effective contraceptive use; • Reducing the number of unintended pregnancies in Florida; and, • Reducing Florida’s Medicaid costs by reducing the number of unintended pregnancies by women who otherwise would be eligible for Medicaid pregnancy- related services.

Historical Context. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ lived in a turbulent era when political life was dominated by depositions, oppressive regimes as well as democratic reforms, upheavals and, crucially, imperialism. The political and military abilities of the Athenian hegemony were inextricably connected not only with the perennial pre-eminence of the combatants in the fields of the war, but also with the maritime prowess and the navigational skills of these expert seafarers. Furthermore, the sea played a crucial role by providing the Greeks with natural resources and offered them an effective mode of transportation facilitating the evolution of trade and the inauguration of colonies. Hence, we should bear in mind not only the function of the sea as a key milieu in the Greek imagination and thought, but as a space directly related to the effort of the Athenians to dominate others, through their ‘democratic’ imperialism over the Hellenes and barbarians, in order to strengthen their own identity and superiority over enemies as well as allies. The steady rise of the Achaemenid dynasty in Persia,3 since its founding by ▇▇▇▇▇ the Great during the second half of the 6th century B.C., culminated in the reign of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇ (521-486 B.C), who managed to significantly augment the empire's territories. The intensification of Persian influence was felt as a constant and growing threat by the neighbouring Greek states.

Historical Context. Traditionally, Maui’s division into moku (districts) and ahupuaʻa (subdistricts) was established by a kahuna (from Hawaiian, “priest”) named Kalaihaʻōhia during the time of aliʻi (“chief”) Kakaʻalaneo (▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ 1940:383); ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ places Kakaʻalaneo at the end of the 15th or the beginning of the 16th century (▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ 1916/17, Vol. 6:248). The ahupuaʻa subdivisions were meant to incorporate all of the natural resources relevant to traditional subsistence stretching from the ocean to the mountain peaks (▇▇▇▇▇ 1875:111). These ancient divisions have remained the same and are still commonly used to locate and refer to geographical features of the islands, even though land tenure has gone through radical changes (Sterling 1998:3). The ʻili were smaller land divisions administered by the chief who controlled the corresponding ahupuaʻa (▇▇▇▇▇ 1875:33; ▇▇▇▇▇ 1995:40). Finally, the moʻo were narrow strips of land within an ʻili. The land holding of a tenant (in Hawaiian, ▇▇▇ ʻ▇▇▇▇) was called a kuleana (from Hawaiian, “right, privilege”) (▇▇▇▇▇ 1995:61). The project area is located in the ahupuaʻa of Waikapū, district of Wailuku (Pūʻali Komohana). As suggested in the previous section, the isthmus of Maui is characterized by comparatively dry conditions and paucity of perennial streams. Nonetheless, because of its strategic location between the two Maui mountains on the one hand, and the convenience of the Kahului harbor on the other, Wailuku District was important in Maui’s Pre-Contact history. Control over Wailuku and Kahului, the traditional seats of chiefly power in the West of Maui, necessitated control over the entire district of Wailuku. In addition, since the West Maui Mountains provide a number of perennial streams, large scale agriculture was made possible in Late Post- Contact and Modern times. As a result, the district contains substantial archeological and historical record. This section will outline in short the historical context of the project area, the settlement patterns before and after contact with the West, the agricultural practices, and the historical record associated with land ownership. Archaeological data indicate that the initial settlement of the Hawaiian Islands by Polynesians occurred on the windward shores around the 10th century C.E., with populations extending into leeward areas at later periods (▇▇▇▇▇ 2011). Thus, the 10th century would be the earliest date to which human presence could be expected in the project area and its vi...
