Idiom: in full swing (used idiomatically: yes)
Sixty - three years after the Guatemalan experiments , an American historian , Susan ~ Reverby , was rummaging through archived medical papers from the 1940s . Reverby was completing a final task in her two decades of studying the PHS ’s detestable Tuskegee experiments , in which hundreds of African - American men with late - stage syphilis were observed but not treated , even after penicillin was developed . She was examining the papers of Thomas ~ Parran , US surgeon - general from 1936 - 1948 , when the Tuskegee research was already in full swing . So , too , she found , was the previously unknown Guatemalan experiment . For years , Tuskegee has been a byword for ethical abuses in scientific research – to the extent that President Bill ~ Clinton apologized to its surviving “ subjects . ”
Idiom: in the final analysis (used idiomatically: no)
Under optimum conditions fermentation starts within two to three days , and gives off usable quantities of gas after 15 to 20 days . The compost left has a high manure value . In the final analysis , the third World will never solve its problems without developing its greatest resource : people . Any country that wants to develop its industrial and agricultural production and the services it provides to its people must develop education in science and technology . Generally speaking , self - sufficiency in scientific and technological expertise is a characteristic of all industrial countries , large and small .
Idiom: out of the box (used idiomatically: yes)
Another recent open winner , Harry Williams ' Derby hope Pond Pavarotti , whose victory at Brough Park last week helped Sunderland win second place in the inter - track competition , setting a new sectional record of 3.71 seconds , takes on the well known Yorkshire - based open racer Mandys Supreme , which is trained by the unattached Derek Tidswell . The latest Williams - trained discovery , New Level , looks outstanding in the first heat of the Regal Puppy Trophy , having won his first three races and never being headed to the first bend . The £ 750 Heineken Puppy Trophy winner has an average sectional time of 5.26 and usually flies out of the boxes and has been given an ideal trap six draw . The biggest danger to New Level looks like being Tom Robinson 's Just Right Kyle , which races from trap two . The second heat sees Beaumont 's Spring Corn taking on Tom Robinsontrained Kyle Alex , which trialled at Sunderland last week in 27.64 secs for the standard 450 metres trip .

Idiom: high and low (used idiomatically: yes)
Some examples of the use to which the SERRL database has been put are : the examination of the accessibility of small and medium - sized towns to the motorway and trunk road network in promoting population growth , the analysis of the hinterlands of each of the 900 stations on British Railways ' South Eastern Region , and updating the urban / rural boundary lines using remotely - sensed data . The population growth study took into account both accessibility and the impact of planning policies , including constraints such as green belts . The GIS gave rapid and easy access to the data in a number of different ways , it provided analytical tools for the production of statistical tables , and it allowed the output of maps and specific factors , such as the overlay of the road network onto the green belt layer , showing areas of high and low accessibility , thus permitting the evaluation of population growth potential relative to accessibility and planning constraints . The second study used the transport layer of the database to identify the locations of 900 stations on the British Railways network . Circles of radius one , two , five and ten kilometres were drawn around each station and the census enumeration district data were used to produce maps and tables showing population numbers , structure and characteristics around each of the stations ' catchment areas .
Idiom: in the driving seat (used idiomatically: yes)
Other such as Louis Chiron , Early Howe , Philippe Etancelin and Jean - Pierre Wimille all steered one of other of the great cars to victory . They showed their staying power in the long - distance races and won the Targa Florio five year in succession in 1925 to 1929 . And in 1937 , just as their " reign " was coming to an end the Bugatti claimed one of racing 's greatest prizes by winning Le Mans with Wimille and Robert Benoist in the driving seat . Wimille ( with Pierre Veyron ) was to repeat the feat two year later . Ettore Bugatti lost his love of racing after the death of his son Jean in an accident near the family factory .

Yeah . Yeah . And we 're really having to struggle to sort of make ends meet . Yeah . I know what you mean .
Idiom: on the money (used idiomatically: yes)
The actual proportion in which each individual holds his wealth depends upon the relative yields he receives on the whole range of assets , and upon his individual tastes and preferences . The yields concerned may be of the direct money kind , as is the case with equities and bonds , but may be implicit in the form of services or benefits received , as with owner - occupied houses . The individual receives an implicit yield on money because of its convenience value as a means of payment . Thus the demand for money is seen to depend upon the relative yield or attraction of money and a wide range of other assets , and so ' money ' is taken to be an equal substitute for all these other types of assets . Since the demand for money is related to several variables , according to Friedman and the monetarists , then it may be difficult to measure the precise effect of a change in one of these variables on the demand for money .
Idiom: set eyes on (used idiomatically: yes)
A beautiful child full of wild ambitions and a passion to taste all the good things in life . And Jake , at twenty - four , dark and dashing and handsome , had appeared to embody all the romance that she dreamed of . Her heart had been lost to him the first moment she had set eyes on him . That first meeting had been shortly after she and her mother had moved into the house on the banks of Loch Lomond , and even now she remembered it as a magical time . The house alone had been like a dream come true after the two - bedroomed flat on the outskirts of Stirling where she and her mother had lived in near penury for the past seven years since Shiona 's father 's death .
Idiom: fit like a glove (used idiomatically: yes)
It will be clear that these two dynamical elements , the smooth propagation a la Schrödinger and the discontinuous collapse on making a measurement , sit uneasily side by side . As prescriptions they are crystal clear . In performing calculations we know exactly what to do and the answers fit nature like a glove . However when we attempt to unpack what is involved in measurement and to see how its discontinuity is consistent with the Schrödinger equation , then the puzzles and disputes to which quantum mechanics is heir become apparent . It is the task of the chapters that lie ahead to go into these matters .
Idiom: dig deep (used idiomatically: yes)
When you 've done it you 're still left with the same vacuum inside you waiting to be filled . Your memory is a confusion of too many faces and places encountered too rapidly . Much better to dig your roots in somewhere — anywhere — and dig deep . Mark out some small area and cultivate it really well . I 've knocked about a bit in the last few years I suppose , but I was always restless until I came to a very ordinary house in a rather dingy London suburb , where there was a large and interesting family who had been in the same place for a long time .
Idiom: under the influence (used idiomatically: no)
De Quincey 's opium dreams were full of daemonic pomp and circumstance : they also included architectural nightmares which paralleled Piranesi 's neurotic and obsessive drawings of complex , claustrophobic interiors . De Quincey frequently dreamt of a fantastically elaborate and labyrinthine building . The Minoans , under the influence of exactly the same drug , may well have had visions of a fantastic , maze - like building , and based the design for the Labyrinth on their visions . De Quincey 's dream was , on his own account , of a building vision described by Wordsworth in The Excursion , Book 11 : Some such vision , provoked by religious ecstasy and zeal , stimulated by opium , may have lain behind the elaborate and dizzying designs of the Minoan temples .
Idiom: at sea (used idiomatically: yes)

Idiom: to the bone (used idiomatically: yes)
‘ She was frightened then , and so , in the end , she agreed to do what I wanted , and leave La Tour Monchauzet forever.’ She 's mad . The chilling thought struck Sabine to the bone .

Idiom: high and dry (used idiomatically: yes)

Idiom: fall short (used idiomatically: yes)
Well we know that they plan to have fourteen planes in operation by nineteen ninety six and I reckon that will raise their cost of operations to something over six hundred million pounds . And how many passengers do they need to make that kind of money ? Well to make that sort of revenue they will actually need to fly rather more than two million passengers a year , and in the present state of the world aviation market I reckon that 's quite a tall order , in fact if they fell short of it by five percent in a particular year that would be capable of using up the kind of capital and reserves which we 've been talking about . Well this looks fine Alan , how about the summary ? Well
Idiom: few and far between (used idiomatically: yes)
Armed with your bridging loan , you are effectively a cash buyer , not caught up in a chain , and you can use this position to your advantage , demanding and getting a good discount . This , in turn , should allow you to cut the sale price of your own current property and , therefore , sell it more quickly . At a time when house sales are few and far between , successful transactions are those where realistic prices are asked .

The first aid manual is published by Dorling and Kindersley , price £7.99 . EXPERTS are questioning the value of home-cholesterol testing kits which have now been on the market for six months .

Idiom: no holds barred (used idiomatically: yes)
The futuristic , raunchy gear uses body - hugging lycra adorned with rubber - looking PVC patches . Nothing was left to the imagination as the sexy models Cookie and Polly danced , pouted and preened to Apache 's latest hits .

She said : ‘ These clothes are a definite must for people who live for the night . They are outgoing , outrageous and shockingly sexy.’

Had she begun to resent my usurpation of her role as Edward 's collaborator ?
Idiom: black and blue (used idiomatically: no)
‘ Goodnight , O,’ and then she turned suddenly to Boy and said to him , very pointedly : ’ And what on earth have you done to your eyes?’ This was a trick question , because of course no one does anything like that to themselves ; both of Boy 's eyes were as black and blue as if he was still wearing yesterday 's makeup . And also it was a trick question because Mother knew full well what had caused the bruises ; she was just testing his nerve . Boy paused before answering , and looked at himself in one of the mirrors .

The director general of the Building Societies Association , Mark Boleat , said the rise was encouraging and supported the reports from housebuilders and estate agents that the market had turned up since the beginning of the year . ‘ House - buyer confidence , although still fragile , has strengthened over recent months,’ Mr Boleat said .

By the shore the driftwood was still travelling upriver , but in midstream it was gathering way headlong in the other direction . The Thames had turned towards the sea . Willis had frequently told her that these old barges , in spite of their great sails , did n't need a crew of more than two men , in fact a man and a boy could handle them easily . The sails had been tan - coloured , like the earth and dressed with oil , which never quite dried out . There were none left now .

Idiom: all over the map (used idiomatically: yes)
Japanese Lessons for China ’s Currency SHANGHAI – The question of how much China ’s currency should appreciate to rebalance its trade has become a global hot - button issue . But the answers have been all over the map , with some finding that the yuan is not undervalued at ~ all , while others argue that it should appreciate against the dollar by more than 30 % . Clearly , there must be major differences in the macroeconomic models used to produce such a wide range of estimates . But the one thing about which everyone seems to agree is the theoretically and empirically unjustified assumption that an equilibrium exchange rate actually exists .
Idiom: have a heart (used idiomatically: no)
Dying to Grow ? STANFORD – We are constantly bombarded with information about the purported risks or protective effects of one or another food , dietary supplement , chemical , drug , or activity . In July , for example , an article in The Annals of Internal Medicine reported that people who work at ~ least 11 hours a day have a 67 % higher risk of having a heart ~ attack or dying from heart ~ disease than those who work 7 - 8 hours a day . However , the study can not conclude that long work hours cause cardiac disease . In fact , one of the most common misunderstandings about scientific studies is the critical difference between correlation and causation .
Idiom: far and away (used idiomatically: yes)
Substantially , however , by convention , the actual power is today exercised , in all but a few relatively minor exceptional cases , by Ministers of the Crown , by the Prime Ministers of the Crown particularly , and especially by a select group of senior Ministers of the Crown meeting in Cabinet . Not only are the institutions of Cabinet and Prime Minister virtually unknown to the law ; they are relatively recent historical phenomena even as creatures of convention . Our present structure of central government is far and away the most important feature of the constitution not to emerge from the revolutionary settlement of 1688–1701 . There was a similar body in existence , the Privy Council , consisting of the chief officials of state together with other influential persons , which , indeed , still exists today as the formal body which technically discharges much of the official business of the Crown , such as assenting to prerogative legislation , explained below . Even before the revolution , however , and particularly under Tudor rule , the Privy Council had been largely ignored as too large and public a body , and the practice had grown up of the monarch preferring , instead , to seek advice from a smaller number of individuals whom he regarded as trustworthy and committed to his cause .
Idiom: scratch the surface (used idiomatically: yes)
‘ People at the bottom of the heap . Kids who never have a chance , from the day they are born .

Idiom: for good measure (used idiomatically: yes)
But he treats them all the same way . He first describes his example ( which is usually taken from the evolution of the vertebrates ) in some detail : then he asserts that it is impossible that natural selection could have produced it . To rub the message in he may add , for good measure , that it is also inconceivable and unthinkable ; and he sometimes quotes from an authority such as Richard Goldschmidt who also assures us that it is impossible and unimaginable . For none of the many examples does Taylor give us any account of the appropriate Darwinian thinking . Indeed , he does not seem to be aware that it exists : ‘ All Darwinism has to say about such miracles is that they are due to chance.’
Idiom: come of age (used idiomatically: yes)
More troublesome was the imperial chamberlain , Markward of Anweiler , who wanted to make the southern lands the centre of resistance for the imperialists .

If Frederick , when he comes of age , sees that he has been deprived of the empire by the Roman Church , he will become its implacable enemy . Papal troops in south Italy could be seen as protecting Frederick II 's rights . Otto 's aggressively imperialist policy , wedging the papacy between the " two Italies " , led to his final downfall .
