Tourists cram together, jostling for the best views of the blue container ship gliding by in the gray-green water below.

Nava took viewers on a tour of a coral reef restoration project and planted some new coral while gliding by various fishes.

But what makes Lively's performance so striking is that she's not content with gliding by on her looks, or It Girl factor.

After months of gliding by, largely untouched by his competitors and the media, Kasich is starting to be treated as a problem.

In Happy Hour, and particularly in that beautiful scene on the ferry, the world is not just gliding by—it is being slid into place before our eyes, as if for the first time.

My intellect would say that it is, but the next morning I'm back on my way to SFO, on yet another curvy road, and I'm gliding by BMWs and Porsches in my lithe and willing MX-5.

In an Uber to his hotel—we'd come from New York by train—he peered through square-rimmed glasses at the city gliding by, which reminded him of the kind of development zone one sees on the edge of China's ever-expanding cities.

We see Diaghilev only as a two-dimensional puppet gliding by at the back of the stage, as Mr. Baryshnikov is the sole performer here, although the body of a soldier from World War I — Nijinsky's pacifism is a theme in the diaries — is splayed across the stage at one point.

Bird’s career started as the youngest NASA-accredited journalist covering the Apollo 13 launch. Bird broke the world altitude record for hang gliding by piloting a hang glider from a helium balloon at 35,000’. The Guinness Book of Records, 1987, p254.

Delta Jets rebuild, maintain and fly historic jet aircraft, particularly Hawker Hunters. The Bristol Aero collection had a museum at the airfield until 31 May 2012. Aston Down airfield, to the north- west, formerly belonged to the RAF but is now used for gliding by the Cotswold Gliding Club.

Its flight system is based on gliding, by using the bomb's inertia. By using this bomb a pilot can hit their target without entering an enemy's territory. The Pakistan Air Force (PAF) successfully test-fired indigenously developed extended range "smart weapon" from JF-17 multi-role fighter aircraft on 12 March 2019.

Longisquama is thus regarded as a diapsid with strange scales, ambiguous skeletal features and no real significance to bird evolution. A minority of scientists prefer the hypothesis that birds evolved from small, arboreal archosaurs like Longisquama. They see these as ectothermic animals that adapted to gliding by developing elongated scales and then pennaceous feathers. This hypothesis, however, is not supported by cladistic analysis.

Cable bacteria lack flagella, but are capable of motility in the form of gliding by propelling themselves forward through the excretion of substances. Cable bacteria have been observed to move as fast as 2.2 µm/s, with an average speed of 0.5 µm/s. Speed of motility in cable bacteria is not related to size of the bacteria. The average distance a cable bacterium glides is approximately 74 µm without interruption.

John Clifford Bird (born April 4, 1955) is a Canadian engineer, scientist, and journalist. Bird’s research has included laser physics, atmospheric physics, and materials in microgravity. He broke the world altitude record for hang gliding by launching from a helium balloon at 35,000 ft, and spent a year at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station, which was documented in his book One Day, One Night: Portraits of the South Pole.

They usually flap only for short journeys and often fly in a soaring and gliding motion over several kilometres for locomotion between breeding colonies or roosts and feeding sites. By soaring on thermals and gliding by turns, they can cover large distances without wasting much energy. On descending from high altitudes, this stork has been observed to dive deeply at high speeds and flip over and over from side to side, hence showing impressive aerobatics. It even appears to enjoy these aerial stunts.

This adult male in the Atlanta Botanical Garden (named Toughie by his handlers) was the last known surviving member of its species until his death on September 26, 2016. Ecnomiohyla rabborum, commonly known as Rabbs' fringe- limbed treefrog, is a critically endangered species of frog in the family Hylidae; mounting evidence suggests that E. rabborum is probably extinct. They were relatively large frogs that inhabited the forest canopies of central Panama. Like other members of the genus Ecnomiohyla, they were capable of gliding by spreading their enormous and fully webbed hands and feet during descent.

Aviation historian Phil Scott in The Shoulders of Giants: A History of Human Flight to 1919 (1995, ) wrote that he does not consider Herring a candidate for the first flight claim. Scott says Herring's glider was difficult to steer and his two-cylinder, three-horsepower compressed air engine could operate for only 30 seconds at a time. Scott considers Herring as having simply expanded the traditional hang-gliding by adding an engine. Herring's defenders point out that hang-glider fliers today steer their aircraft by shifting their body, as Herring did.

The tune was first called "Londonderry Air" in 1894 when Katherine Tynan Hinkson set the words of her "Irish Love Song" to it: :Would God I were the tender apple blossom :That floats and falls from off the twisted bough :To lie and faint within your silken bosom :Within your silken bosom as that does now. :Or would I were a little burnish'd apple :For you to pluck me, gliding by so cold, :While sun and shade your robe of lawn will dapple, :Your robe of lawn and your hair of spun gold.

The song describes, in several choruses, the simple delights of Manhattan for a young couple in love. The joke is that these "delights" are really some of the worst, or cheapest, sights that New York has to offer; for example, the stifling, humid stench of the subway in summertime is described as "balmy breezes", while the noisy, grating pushcarts on Mott Street are "gently gliding by". A particular Hart delight is the use of New York dialect to rhyme "spoil" with "boy and goil". In the first stanza, the couple is obviously too poor to afford a honeymoon to the popular summertime destinations of "Niag'ra" or "other places", so they claim to be happy to "save our fares".

Diana 2 racing glider over the Andes during competition training before World Grand Prix, picture taken from a rival's glider Gliding competitions existed before the Second World War but as the technologies evolved, the performance of the gliders has taken them away from the public view. Furthermore the scoring is complex and gliders can start at different times. Proposals were made in 1970Discussions between Nicholas Goodhart, George B. Moffat, Jr., Richard Schreder and Smith but it was not until 2005 that first world gliding competition in Grand Prix format was held in France at Saint Auban. This was at the Salon Européen du Vol à Voile (European Sailplane Show/Exhibition) in 2005 as part of the FAI's marketing strategy to promote the sport of gliding by establishing annual international competitions.

Debates about the origin of bird flight are almost as old as the idea that birds evolved from dinosaurs, which arose soon after the discovery of Archaeopteryx in 1862. Two theories have dominated most of the discussion since then: the cursorial ("from the ground up") theory proposes that birds evolved from small, fast predators that ran on the ground; the arboreal ("from the trees down") theory proposes that powered flight evolved from unpowered gliding by arboreal (tree-climbing) animals. A more recent theory, "wing-assisted incline running" (WAIR), is a variant of the cursorial theory and proposes that wings developed their aerodynamic functions as a result of the need to run quickly up very steep slopes such as trees, which would help small feathered dinosaurs escape from predators. In March 2018, scientists reported that Archaeopteryx was likely capable of flight, but in a manner substantially different from that of modern birds.
