Dinner

Whereas most chemists focused their attention on speculation about atoms and the question of atomic weights, the constant multiplicity in compounds occupied an increasingly central role. The new concept of substitution, i.e., the replacement of one element by another in a compound, started to make a major impact on chemistry in the 1840s. It was probably Dumas, who in the 1830s at the request of his father-in-law (who was the director of the famous Royal Sevres porcelain factory) resolved an event that upset a royal dinner party at the Tuil-... [Pg.29]

Toward the end of the dinner laureates representing each prize were called npon for a brief (not more than 3 minutes) remark.

The next day, Sunday the 11th, the Royal couple gave a dinner in their palace for the laureates and some 200 guests as a conclusion of the Nobel week. The austere, impressive palace 1 was told by the Queen is not suited to bringing up a family and they use it only for formal entertainment. [Pg.184]

Production of decorated melamine plastic dinner plates makes use of molding and laminating techniques. The pattern is ptinted on the same type of paper used for the protective overlay of decorative lamiaates, treated with melamine resia and dried, and then cut iato disks of the appropriate size. [Pg.327]

The things that we have been talking about so far - metal crystals, amorphous metals, solid solutions, and solid compounds - are all phases. A phase is a region of material that has uniform physical and chemical properties. Water is a phase - any one drop of water is the same as the next. Ice is another phase - one splinter of ice is the same as any other. But the mixture of ice and water in your glass at dinner is not a single phase because its properties vary as you move from water to ice. Ice + water is a two-phase mixture. [Pg.18]

John Bardeen was a truly remarkable scientist, and also a very private, taciturn man. Pippard (1995) in his obituary of Bardeen, recounts how John returned home from the Bell Labs and walked into the kitchen to say We discovered something today to (his wife) Jane s regret, all she could find in reply to what proved a momentous statement was That s interesting, but I have to get dinner on the table . ... [Pg.259]

MnOi- He called the gas vitriol air and reported that it was colourless, odourless and tasteless, and supported combustion better than common air, but the results did not appear until 1777 because of his publisher s negligence. Priestley s classic experiment of using a burning glass to calcine HgO confined in a cylinder inverted over liquid mercury was first performed in Colne, England, on 1 August 1774 he related this to A. L. Lavoisier and others at a dinner party... [Pg.601]

The functions of the Academie Royal des Sciences were assumed in 1795 by a branch of the newly formed National Institute. Laplace was elected vice president of this reincarnated Academy and then elected president a few months later, in 1796. The duties of this position put him in contact with Napoleon Bonaparte. Three weeks after Napoleon seized power m 1799, Laplace presented him with copies of his work on celestial mechanics. Bonaparte quipped that he would read it in the first six weeks I have free and invited Laplace and his wife to dinner. Three weeks later, Napoleon named Laplace his minister of the interior. After six weeks, however, he was replaced Napoleon thought him a complete failure as an administrator. However, Napoleon continued to heap honors and rewards upon him, regarding him as a decoration of the state. lie made Laplace a chancellor of the Senate with a salai y that made him wealthy, named him to the Legion of Honor, and raised him to the rank of count of the empire. Laplace s wife was appointed a lady-in-waitmg to the Italian court of Napoleon s sister. Laplace responded with adulatory dedications of his works to Napoleon. [Pg.702]

A martini, weighing about 5.0 oz (142 g), contains 30.0% by mass of alcohol. About 15% of the alcohol in the martini passes directly into the bloodstream (7.0 L for an adult). Estimate the concentration of alcohol in the blood (g/cm3) of a person who drinks two martinis before dinner. (A concentration of 0.0010 g/cm3 or more is frequently considered indicative of intoxication in a normal adult.)... [Pg.283]

Mr. Hunt said that savvy restaurateurs are adapting to the strongest areas of the market. Hopefully, you ll stay for dinner, he said. But if you have a drink or finger food and move on—God love you, you re in the chair.The toughest thing in the world in a restaurant is an empty chair. ... [Pg.26]

At Amuse, a handsome lounge and restaurant in Chelsea that was formerly the Tonic until it was renovated and reopened two weeks ago by Gerry Hayden, its chef and an owner, a table of twenty people in their twenties and thirties sat in the bar and lounge area on Wednesday, socializing, drinking and eating side orders or desserts. No one had plans for dinner, not even next door, in Mr. Hayden s attractive dining room. [Pg.27]

You can get everybody you invite to come out if you just do drinks, said Holly Hunnicutt, twenty-seven, sitting with friends and colleagues from the publishing house where she works. We order fifty baskets of French fries—that s dinner. ... [Pg.27]

The intention at Wolf s is to make it an upscale deli, as Mr. Scotto put it, an idea that might strike Wolf s regulars as making as much sense as a downscale Hotel Plaza. You still get a bowl of pickles and a bowl of coleslaw on the table with every meal. You still get tiny red-haired women, folded over like wallets, eating dinner at four in the afternoon. This is a cosmopolitan crowd, as in emigre, not as in Sarah Jessica Parker. [Pg.112]

And if you re going to eat dinner at four, there s nothing wrong in my book with pushing the cocktail hour back to three. [Pg.112]

My suggestion is a stinger, a Prohibition-era cocktail as classic as the Chrysler Building. Most agree it is one of the few cocktails that will also qualify as an after-dinner drink, though it s no Kahlua on ice cream, either. Its nickname is the nightcap cocktail. ... [Pg.126]

On a sparse Monday, at several tables, young professionals met for dinner, still dressed in the athletic shoes that got them to and from their offices, to discuss the more routine matters that make people friends. It was an off-night for the gay boulevarding on Eighth Avenue, which crowds it like a parade on weekends and in good weather. [Pg.153]

Let s use an analogy to help us see the importance of geometry. Imagine that you are stuffing a turkey for Thanksgiving dinner and your hand gets stuck inside the turkey. Just at that moment, someone wants to shake your hand. You can t shake the person s hand because your hand is unavailable at the moment. It s kind of the same way with molecules. When two molecules react with each other, there are specific sites on the molecules that are reacting with each other. If those sites cannot get close to each other, the reaction won t happen. [Pg.74]

Clayton is nine and is bullied at school by a group of older boys and girls. He has tried keeping away from them in the playground during break but they seem to find him wherever he is. They sometimes take his dinner money and once they took his phone from him and used it before giving it back. He has told his parents about it but they have told him that he just needs to stand up for himself. [Pg.66]

Relatives came, dinner was eaten, and much fun was had by everyone. It was time for Charlie s uncle, aunt and cousins to leave, and he went with them to the front door. Everybody said their goodbyes, and their car moved off. Charlie s mum went back inside, but Charlie stood there waving to his cousins, who he could see in the back window of their car. As he went to turn back inside, he noticed some paper that had been caught in a bush in the garden. He went to retrieve it and, on doing so, he was surprised to find it wasn t just some discarded wrapper, but a fully made out and signed doctor s prescription for a Mr Shah. Charlie did not know a Mr Shah, and the address was not one he knew. (H)... [Pg.145]
