It was, according to Ion, an exciting industry with a vibrant research and development program and great prospects. As she told Jim Al- Khalili in a 2013 interview for BBC Radio Four, "Nothing over time has changed my view of that". As technical director of BNFL, Ion held a seat on Tony Blair's Council for Science and Technology and has been credited with persuading Blair to change Labour's official government's policy on nuclear power. Ion's work, along with David King, took about 10 years of educating government officials to consider the scientific evidence surrounding the issues of nuclear power and renewable energy to inform policy.

In 2016, Fox ran for election to the seat. She faced two opponents, both members of the Democratic Party. Both of these opponents had applied to fill the vacancy created by Nordquist's resignation. John Synowiecki, the director of resource development for Catholic Charities of Omaha, had previously represented the district in the legislature; he had been appointed to the seat in 2002 by governor Mike Johanns and had won re-election in 2004; in 2008, he had been barred by Nebraska's term-limits law from running for a third consecutive term.

Among other things, he was in charge of organising Spain's presidency of the Council of the European Union, which ran in the first half of 2002.

The head of the Central Political and Legal Affairs Commission, which Zhou headed, no longer held a seat on the Politburo Standing Committee following the 18th Party Congress, as the number of seats on the body were reduced from nine to seven. The anti-corruption campaign following the 18th Party Congress became the biggest of its kind in the history of China under Communist rule. By 2014, Bo had been branded by some media outlets outside of China as part of a so-called "New Gang of Four" composed of disgraced officials Zhou Yongkang, Xu Caihou, and Ling Jihua. Bo's chief ideological rival, former Guangdong party chief Wang Yang, went on to become Vice-Premier and eventually joined the Politburo Standing Committee, the party's top leadership council.

He encountered differing opinions with people in the party, pushing that intellect and political activity are not mutually exclusive. In 1931, Dobb married Barbara Marian Nixon, and unlike his first marriage stayed with Nixon for the rest of his life. She never claimed herself a communist, but was an active member of the Labour Party and held a seat on the London County Council while pursuing a career in acting. Dobb's personal life was of particular interest to his colleagues, and due to the controversy Pembroke College dropped Dobb as a Director of StudiesA don responsible for supervising the academic progress of students in a given subject in a given college, even if he does not personally teach the student in question.

They were elevated to Imperial Counts in 1653, receiving the name Counts of Abensperg and Traun, after a Bavarian family, the counts of Abensperg, who had a similar coat of arms, and had ruled the county of Abensberg (Bavaria) from the 12th century until they extinguished with Niclas, Graf von Abensberg in 1485. Only count Ernst von Abensperg und Traun (1608–1668) was very shortly granted the fief of Abensberg when the Habsburg emperor Leopold I occupied Bavaria during the War of the Spanish Succession. From 1656 the Abensperg and Traun family held a seat on the "Swabian counts' bench" of the Imperial Diet and in 1662 purchased the Lordship of Eglofs, a lordship with Imperial immediacy. It was sold to the Windisch-Graetz family in 1804.

Luo entered the Politburo Standing Committee in 2002, at the 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China at the age of 67. The Standing Committee was expanded from seven members to nine in 2002, some say as a result of then-Party General Secretary Jiang Zemin attempting to stack the body with his supporters. Luo, then branded by overseas media as an associate of Li Peng, became a major beneficiary of this increase in membership. That he held a seat on the nation's highest ruling council, coupled with the relative weakness of the new party General Secretary Hu Jintao, as well as the general focus placed by the Communist Party on internal security and combating dissent to party authority, vastly increased the power of the Zhengfawei portfolio.

He joined the Communist Party of China, a prerequisite for political office, in 1979. His first political assignment was with the Organization Department of the Guizhou party committee. He successively served as the party chief of Yunyan District, Guiyang, then head of the Communist Youth League provincial organization in Guizhou, then party chief of Liupanshui, then party chief of the provincial capital Guiyang, when he concurrently also held a seat on the provincial party standing committee, entering sub-provincial ranks in October 1995 at age 43. In 1998, Wang was named Deputy Communist Party Secretary of Guizhou; he was transferred in 2001 to take on the same role in Sichuan province (when he served under Zhou Yongkang for about a year), then transferred again to Fujian, again the same office.

After Perón was removed from office in 1955, Gomariz joined the University of Buenos Aires faculty, where he would become one of the founders of the Facultad de Economía (Economics faculty) as chair of the International Economics department. He would later also serve as president of EUDEBA, the university printing press, and as dean of the economics department until he was ousted in 1972 by Horacio Ciafardini as part of Peron's eventual return to power.

In September 1932, The Association of Taxicab Owners and Operators of Buffalo, NY, asked the Common Council to combat the new taxi companies and make fares standard across the board. Allegedly, Montana (who still held a seat on the Council) shelved the issue and the City didn't act – officially because the Council didn't want to meddle in the affairs of private businesses. After the rival cab company came to town with a lowered wage system for several months, many smaller cab businesses had to shut their doors as they couldn't compete and turn a profit. After a few went out of business, there was a labor dispute and 200 employees of the Gray Cab Company went on strike. While Montana was never publicly linked to the strike, rumors were made back in 1932 that his associates instigated the Gray Cab employees to strike for more wages, ultimately causing the company to temporarily stop transporting passengers.

Great Hall of the People serves as the venue for major political conferences in Chongqing Chongqing has been, since 1997, a direct-controlled municipality in the Chinese administrative structure, making it a provincial-level division with commensurate political importance. The municipality's top leader is the secretary of the municipal committee of the Communist Party of China ("party chief"), which, since 2007, has also held a seat on the Politburo of the Communist Party of China, the country's second highest governing council. Under the Soviet-inspired nomenklatura system of appointments, individuals are appointed to the position by the central leadership of the Communist Party, and bestowed to an official based on seniority and adherence to party orthodoxy, usually given to an individual with prior regional experience elsewhere in China and nearly never a native of Chongqing. Notable individuals who have held the municipal Party Secretary position include He Guoqiang, Wang Yang, Bo Xilai, Zhang Dejiang, and Sun Zhengcai, the latter three were Politburo members during their term as party chief.

Vladimir Kekhman's strategy was to spend prolific amounts of money on ballet stars to build the Theatre's popularity. He built a business-based organizational structures to the Ballet, donated 1 billion roubles ($40m US) for renovation of the building, and invited Elena Obraztsova and Farouk Ruzimatov to coordinate the artistic revival of the Mikhailovsky. In 2007, Elena Obraztsova was appointed Artistic Director of the Mikhailovsky Opera and Farouk Ruzimatov became Artistic Director of the Mikhailovsky Ballet. However, Obraztsova resigned in 2008 and Ruzimatov in 2009. From 2009 both Obraztsova and Ruzimatov held a seat on the Artistic Committee of the Theatre. The ballet company of the Mikhailovsky Theatre made its London debut in July 2008 in London Coliseum arranged by the British ex- dancer Gavin Roebuck. This season helped bring the company international recognition and led to a nomination for the Best Foreign Dance Company Award at the National Dance Awards in 2008, though Mikhailovsky lost out to the New York City Ballet. In March 2009, Mikhail Messerer was appointed Ballet Master in Chief of the Theater.
