residence time

Examples of residence time in the following topics:

• Making the Art

  • Artist residencies invite artists to spend time and space away from their usual environments to create art.
  • Most residencies offer the artist a living and working space, sometimes offering small stipends and meals.
  • There are numerous residencies around the world existing in artist-run-spaces, galleries, universities and private residences to aid artists in the task of creating work.

• Child Custody Laws

  • Family law proceedings which involve issues of residence and contact often generate the most acrimonious disputes.
  • Alternating custody is an arrangement whereby the child lives for an extended period of time with one parent, and then for a similar amount of time with the other parent.
  • Further, shared custody is an arrangement whereby the child lives for an extended period of time with one parent, and then for a similar amount of time with the other parent.
  • For example, younger children need shorter, more frequent time with parents, whereas older children and teenagers may demand less frequent shifts yet longer blocks of time with each parent.
  • Residence and contact issues typically arise in proceedings involving divorce, annulment and other legal proceedings where children may be involved.In most jurisdictions the issue of which parent the child will reside with is determined in accordance with the best interests of the child.

• Resocialization and Total Institutions

  • A total institution is a place of work and residence where a great number of similarly situated people, cut off from the wider community for a considerable time, lead an enclosed, formally administered life together.
  • The goal of total institutions is resocialization, the radical alteration of residents' personalities by deliberately manipulating their environment.
  • First, the staff of the institution tries to erode the residents' identities and independence.

• Research Examples

  • Marshall interviewed a number of retirement home residents to explore how their environment influenced their thinking about death.
  • Marshall found that a combination of relationships, behavioral changes, and retirement home culture contributed to a conception of death that was both accepting and courageous.Residents of this particular retirement home found themselves with more time on their hands - to think about death - because they no longer had to care for their own homes.
  • The prevalence of elderly people facilitated discussions of death, which also helped socialize the residents into their acceptance of mortality.
  • Some residents calculated there was one death per week in the retirement home.
  • Rosenbaum then compared IQ scores for individuals in the different tracks at two time points.

• The Growth of Suburbs

  • Consumer patterns were also shifting at this time, as purchasing power was becoming stronger and more accessible to a wider range of families.
  • During this time commercial shopping malls were being developed near suburbs to satisfy consumers' needs and their car-dependent lifestyle.
  • These suburban residences are built on larger lots of land than in the central city.
  • The influx of new black residents caused many white Americans to move to the suburbs ("white flight").
  • At the same time, the city's working class population declined because of the loss of industrial jobs as heavy industry restructured.

• Urban Gentrification

  • Gentrification occurs when wealthier people buy or rent property in a low-income or working class neighborhood, displacing residents.
  • Between 1977 and 1979, five of the seven pre-1977 families residing on Darien Street had been pushed out because of increased rents.
  • Renewed business attracts more investment capital and new residents, increasing local property values.
  • At this time, the suburban ideal was falling out of favor; fewer people were moving to suburbs and more were moving back to cities.
  • Many critics of gentrification point to its effects on racial composition of the neighborhood as low-income residents are displaced.

• The Representation Function

  • Since each state has two senators, residents of smaller states have more clout in the Senate than residents of larger states.
  • For example, in 2006 California had 70 times the population of Wyoming.
  • Critics, such as constitutional scholar Sanford Levinson, have suggested that the population disparity works against residents of large states and causes a steady redistribution of resources from large states to small states.
  • Third, is if they have power in the chamber: these are lawmakers who spend serious time along the rail of the House floor or in the Senate cloakroom ministering to the needs of their colleagues.

• For each problem:

  • What is the probability that we must survey just 1 or 2 residents until we find a California resident who does not have adequate earthquake supplies?
  • How many California residents do you expect to need to survey until you find a California resident who does not have adequate earthquake supplies?
  • How many California residents do you expect to need to survey until you find a California resident who does have adequate earthquake supplies?
  • Suppose you randomly survey 11 California residents.
  • This time, each page may be picked more than once.

• Models of Urban Growth

  • In recent years, various organizations have sought to renew the neighborhood by encouraging the development of new residences and businesses.
  • In other words, city residents were not simply competing for parcels of land; they were also trying to fulfill their particular interests and achieve specific goals.
  • As a result, residents must use an automobile.
  • Critics of urban sprawl argue that it creates an inhospitable urban environment and that it encroaches on rural land, potentially driving up land prices and displacing farmers or other rural residents.
  • According to these critics, urban decay is caused by the excessive density and crowding of cities, and it drives out residents, creating the conditions for urban sprawl.

• The Federal Tax System

  • Citizens and residents are taxed on worldwide income and allowed a credit for foreign taxes.
  • The United States is the only country in the world that taxes its nonresident citizens on worldwide income or estate, in the same manner and rates as residents.
  • Sales tax is collected by the seller at the time of sale, or remitted as use tax by buyers of taxable items who did not pay sales tax.
  • Similar to federal income taxes, federal estate and gift taxes are imposed on worldwide property of citizens and residents and allow a credit for foreign taxes.
