"With this agreement, we are expanding our already material position in the Middle East and are further shifting our upstream production towards gas," OMV Chief Executive Rainer Seele said in a statement.

As time passed, the quadripartite meetings of the Kommandatura got more and more heated and cantankerous. The western allied representatives were more or less unified in their view of how Berlin was to be governed, which often starkly contrasted with the Soviet point of view, not surprisingly so. Issues would be debated for weeks, and even months. One such issue was Kotikov's Fourteen Points regarding the legal and material position of the workers of Berlin.

Even though Ranjitsinhji was no longer heir, Vibhaji increased his financial allowance but passed the responsibility for his education to the Bombay Presidency. With his fees coming from the allowance, Ranjitsinhji continued his education at the Rajkumar College. Although his material position remained unchanged, comments made at the time by the principal of the college, Chester Macnaghten, suggest that Ranjitsinhji was bitterly disappointed by his disinheritance. The college was organised and run like an English public school and Ranjitsinhji began to excel.

An excerpt from The Envoy of Mr. Cogito, Gdańsk The year 1956 in Poland marked the end of Stalinism and as a result also of social realism as the only and obligatory style in art and literature. This enabled Herbert's debut as a poet. Thanks to this, his material position also improved. In 1957 supported by Jerzy Zawieyski he received a small studio to live in (in Warsaw) one of the flats distributed for young writers by the Polish Union of Writers (ZLP).

In time the needlework brought in commissions from wealthy clients which improved the material position of the women, while Kozłowska fostered their spiritual development.Krzysztof Mazur, Mariawityzm w Polsce, Kraków 1991, p. 18. (in Polish) In 1890 her widowed mother, Anna Kozłowska, having sold her properties in Warsaw, decided to move to Płock and live with her daughter. Initially Anna had opposed her only daughter's desire to become a nun, as she foresaw a better future for her in marriage, rather than grinding poverty in a convent.

Conspicuous leisure contributes to the glorification of non- productivity, thus validating the behavior of the most powerful classes and leading the lower classes to admire rather than revile the leisure class. This aids the leisure class in retaining their status and material position. Veblen's more well-known concept of "conspicuous consumption" is employed when non-productivity can be more effectively demonstrated through lavish spending. Veblen argued that conspicuous leisure had deep historical roots reaching back into prehistory, and that it "evolved" into different forms as time passed.

" Instead, the patriarchy is not the result of men's oppression of women or sexism per se, with men not even identified as the main beneficiaries of such a system, but capital itself. As such, female liberation needs to begin "with an assessment of the material position of women in capitalist society." In that, German differs from Young or Hartmann by rejecting the notion ("eternal truth) that the patriarchy is at the root of female oppression. Audre Lorde, an African American feminist writer and theorist, believed that racism and patriarchy were intertwined systems of oppression.

The material position of the Caliphs throughout the Buwayhid reign was at its lowest ebb. Mu'izz al-Dawla was only prevented from raising a Shi'a Caliph to the throne by concern for his own safety, and a fear of widespread rebellion. However, the Caliphate of Baghdad, on its spiritual side, was still recognized throughout the Muslim world wherever the orthodox (Sunni) faith prevailed, except for Umayyad Spain and Idrissid Morocco. The Fatimid caliphs, on the other hand, claimed spiritual supremacy not only in Egypt, but also in Syria.

The convent's relocation to Wolde (present Altenwalde) and its takeover of the pilgrimage Chapel of the Holy Cross and St. Willehadus on the Mount was undoubtedly intended to place the convent in a better material position. From Wolde the convent established an outlying watermill, the Erbzinsmühle, later included in the 1334-founded Neuenwalde. The convent's transfer into the vicinity of that watermill (present Neuenwalde) appears to have been materially advantageous, and the fourteenth century probably was the most prosperous in the convent's history. At this time the convent's possessions and privileges reached southwards towards Sievern, , and Lehe (a part of today's Bremerhaven).

He studied law in Vienna, and was granted one of the bursaries founded by Prince Mihailo (Obrenović), but he reserved to himself full liberty of political opinions and action, and for the Prince's foundation he rendered thanks to the nation! A long period was to elapse before he could repay by his national work the debt which he owed to Rajačić (who sponsored him) and Prince Mihailo, for the reactionary Bach rėgime made all public life impossible. Miletić speedily and successfully completed his bar examination and set up practice at Novi Sad, and about that time married. Miletić soon became famous and acquired an independent material position.

In 1994, special legislation authorized Charles R. Larson to resume the superintendency of the U.S. Naval Academy, then a two-star billet, as a full admiral. When the long- serving director of the naval nuclear reactor program, Hyman G. Rickover, was finally compelled to retire in 1982, his successor was promoted to admiral and appointed director of naval nuclear propulsion, institutionalizing the position as a permanent four-star billet. To compensate, another four-star billet was eliminated by merging Allied Forces Southern Europe with U.S. Naval Forces Europe. Similarly, when the U.S. Atlantic Fleet commander (CINCLANTFLT) was separated from the Atlantic unified commander in 1985, the number of four- star billets was conserved by eliminating the chief of naval material position.

Although Asmal was not as close to President Thabo Mbeki as he was to President Nelson Mandela, he was promoted to Minister of Education in 1999 after that year's general elections.Vergnani, Linda (9 July 1999) "Education Minister in South Africa Seeks Better Training for Aspiring Teachers" Chronicle of Higher Education 45(44) p.

Glasgow: H. C. Glass for the Left Wing Group of the ILP, July 1920, pp. 2–3. In July 1920 the fledgling Comintern gave an unequivocal reply: while the presence of communists inside the organisation was acknowledged, and their membership in a new Communist Party welcomed, there would be no joint organisation with those like "the Fabians, Ramsay MacDonald, and Snowden" who had previously made use of "the musty atmosphere of parliamentary work" and "petty concessions and compromises" on behalf of the labour movement: > [T]hese leaders have lost touch with the wide unskilled masses, with the > toiling poor, they have become oblivious of the growth of capitalist > exploitation and of the revolutionary aims of the proletariat. It seemed to > them that because the capitalists treated them as equals, as partners in > their transactions, the working class had secured equal rights with capital. > Their own social standing secure and material position improved, they looked > upon the world through the rose-coloured spectacles of a peaceful middle- > class life.
