Advances also often come in two parts, half upon signing the book contract, the other half upon acceptance of the final manuscript or publication of the book. This two-stage advance has led to interesting speculation about the prolific American short-story writer O. Henry. He was a master of surprise endings and often wrote about the life of ordinary people in New York City. The New York World paid him 100 for each of his stories, but because O. Henry did not always deliver his story by the deadline, his editor made sure only to pay half of the advance for the first half of the story and refused to pay the rest until the entire story was received. Some critics have said that this led to O. Henry stories with the second half nearly unrelated to the first Apparently, O. Henry sometimes rushed out anything he could for the first half of the story just to get the 50 and then ignored much of what he had written when completing the tale. [Pg.174]

For the same oxygen concentration, the classified refuse, despite its markedly larger slag production, consumed less coke than the ordinary urban refuse. Though not fully proved, this is thought to be due to the higher moisture content of the ordinary urban refuse. [Pg.586]

By the summer of 1918, German forces in the field were exhausted and defeated, although fanatics in Berlin and Munich refused to see it. As fresh British tanks crushed German defenses, it became increasingly difficult for ordinary German soldiers to... [Pg.180]

Such an ordinary substance as water is a wonderful catalyst for certain reactions. Thus, carbon monoxide and oxygen will react with explosive violence if ignited in the presence of water vapor. If the water vapor is completely removed from these gases, however, they absolutely refuse to combine. [Pg.24]

Ordinary liactic Acid—Lactic acid of fermentation—Optically inactive ethylidene lactic acid—Acidum lacticum (tT. S.)—exists in nature, widely distributed in the vegetable kingdom, and as the product of a fermentation which is designated as the lactic, in milk, sour-krout, fermented beet-juice, and rice, and in the liquid refuse of starch factories and tanneries. [Pg.315]

Bruyn (Amsterdam) in 1904, and, finally, Holleman (Groningen/Amsterdam) in 1905 - all of them, except Aronstein, professors of organic chemistry. In 1920 the NCV took over the Recueil, which meant that the cold war between the two journals came to an end. Franchimont himself, though, never became an ordinary member of the NCV. In 1912 he was made an honorary member, an olfer he obviously could not refuse, after Nobel laureates such as van t Hoff (1908), Arrhenius (1909), Van der Waals (1912) and Lorentz (1912) had received the same mark of honour. By this elegant gesture the ranks definitely had been closed. [Pg.208]

An 18-year-old girl was at the back of a crowd which was being moved. She refused to move quickly and turned round to her side where the constable was walking and said, Don t push me, you. .. copper I will report you. The prosecutor commented This is a case where in ordinary circumstances the police would shrug the thing off, but in an inflammable situation of this nature, silly little girls like this could cause a great deal of trouble. ... [Pg.190]

Enzymes are the catalyzers of the biological world, and Berzelius description of catalytic force is surprisingly far-sighted—one is tempted to say prophetic. Especially is one struck by his expressly refusing to believe that other than chemical forces are here in play no, if one could once understand the mechanism it would doubtless prove that the forces of ordinary chemistry would suffice to explain also these as yet mysterious reactions. [Pg.57]

Polychlorinated Biphenyls. There are several sources of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in museums. Often these are first discovered by waste-disposal companies that pick up a museum s hazardous refuse. Disposal companies usually analyze solvent, paint, and other hydrocarbon wastes because disposal of PCB-contaminated material is vastly more complex and expensive than disposal of ordinary wastes. In some cases, museum waste has been contaminated by fluids leaking from transformers or fluorescent light ballasts, both of which are common sources of PCBs. However, on two occasions of which the present author is aware, the contamination was from Arochor slide-mounting medium (a material which contains PCBs and polychlorinated triphenyls) and/or PCB-contaminated pigments such as phthalocyanine blue and green, and diarylide (benzidine) yellow. [Pg.46]
