MARILYN MONROE'S AWARDS. A great career of film work for Marilyn Monroe resulted in some outstanding recognition of her talents with both nominations for multiple awards; fifteen nominations and actual awards won in my film career of that lifetime.
Brass is a mixture of zinc (Zn) and copper (Cu). Both of these elements are not magnetic. When we mix zinc and copper to form the alloy brass, we also end up with a non-magnetic compound. So, brass is not magnetic. Like aluminum, copper, and zinc, brass does interact with moving magnets.
The brass refers to officers, and it's shorthand for the older phrase the brass hats.. From the OED: brass hat n. [so called from the gilt insignia on an officer's cap] colloq. (orig.Mil. slang) a high-ranking officer in the armed forces, originally in the British army; cf. tin hat n. 1b.n books by many different authors I encountered phrases like this: He curses the brass for not caring whether he lives or dies. From context, it seemed to me that it meant high-rank officers, about the rank of general. But sometimes it seems to mean lower (than general) rank commissioned officers, too.
