|
|
Writing an organism's DNA in a form missing particular synonyms is a compositional task similar to choosing to avoid using a common linguistic symbol, such as "e", in a short bit of writing; the upshot may look slightly ungainly, but you can do it.

|
|

|
He strikes me as a strategist who is trying to stake out his territory in the contemporary artists' land-grab by fabricating studiedly awkward, ungainly objects on a public-address scale — Donald Baechler meets Jeff Koons, but without Baechler's illustrational nostalgia or Koons's kinky gaudiness.
|
|
Co-founded by MIchel Feaster and Przemek Pardyak, Usermind was the result of Feaster's realization that while IT departments now had tools that allowed them to work together more effectively (bundled under the ungainly neologism of DevOps software), business operations were still effectively siloed.
|
|

|

|
|
This is what is now called capitation, an ungainly name for a system in which a medical provider is paid a fixed amount per patient—these days, it is typically upward of ten thousand dollars a year—whether that person needs expensive surgery or just a checkup.
|
|
The place has the stark, casual feel of a tech start-up, with one exception: The walls are lined with oversize photos of pivotal moments in Climeworks's young history — its ungainly early prototypes; the opening of the first Hinwil plant that collected CO₂ for the greenhouse.
|
|
Though the proposed bill passed the House last year, it died in the Senate after opposition from military leaders like Defense Secretary James Mattis, who called the idea of a Space Corps "premature" and Air Force Secretary Heather Wilson, who said a separate Corps would create ungainly bureaucracy.
|
|
Local elections that followed in Jammu and Kashmir, a state that joins the valley to adjacent regions with very different ethnic and religious make-up, then made things worse: the new state government was a slim, ungainly coalition between the BJP and the valley-based People's Democratic Party.
|
|
It's still quite unmistakably chunky, though, and while Asus touts exhaustive skin sensitivity testing that went into choosing its materials — "jewelry grade" steel for the case and leather or silicone for the strap — this is another case of a smartwatch landing in the "ungainly" area of the size spectrum.
|
|
That's more than can be said of "I Am Elizabeth Smart," an ungainly film about the young girl tragically kidnapped from her home and held in captivity for nine months by religious fanatic Brian David Mitchell (Skeet Ulrich) and his accomplice, Wanda Barzee (Deirdre Lovejoy), before she was rescued.
|
|
Bare-boned plates, tumblers, wine glasses with an assortment of stems, and an elegant crystal cordial glass — these are all elegant (as opposed to the ungainly form of the lighthouse shaker) but they do make you miss some of the humor present in the earlier years of the cocktail.
|
|
In installations like "Plaster Surrogates" (21959), made up of more than 10 enamel-on-plaster pieces, Mr. McCollum shows his lifelong interest in the repetition of forms — many of the pieces in the show range and sprawl, but somehow his art comes across as thoughtful and not ungainly.
|
|

|
|
And if there are probably still a few smoke-filled rooms where party eminences gather to worry aloud about his chances in a general election against President Trump, recent history suggests that a coalition this ungainly — unbending progressives, disaffected moderates, Obama-Trump voters — cannot be herded with ease.
|
|
Now an essay published this week by Julia S. Stewart Lowndes of NCEAS and her colleagues about how the OHI team quietly overcame its ungainly data problem offers an interesting case study in how macrosystems ecology projects—and even more modestly focused research—can benefit from an open access makeover.
|
|
I hesitate to ask anyone to listen to Ed Sheeran rapping, but I'm also struggling to think of a pop music moment more stupid-fun than Swift tripping over some ungainly percussion with her old fake Southern drawl — "we'd be a big conversation AHHHHH" — hamming it up like an utter spaz.
|
|
I do not have the words, after all this, to thank this year's team—ungainly, imperfect, ridiculous, and alive for at least a little while longer—for reminding me that I don't know what the hell I'm talking about, and that nothing is fixed or finished or over until it's over.
|

It's an ungainly truth that Virginia Dwan, the almost prophetic gallerist and patron of the two most influential styles of this era — Minimalism and land art — who bankrolled Robert Smithson's "Spiral Jetty" (1970) and a prototype for Walter De Maria's "The Lightning Field" (1977), among other landmark earthworks, represented few women.
|
|
In a run-through, five women and five men moved in angular formations, stomping around the studio with interlinked arms, pairing up for surprising off-balance lifts, and dissolving away for each of the distinctive, idiosyncratic female solos, which often moved far from conventional ballet steps into more ungainly, quirky territory.
|
|
Roanoke is an ungainly season of television, but in its dissection of the ways that we keep filming everything, even when our lives are in danger, and the ways that tendency often leads to a world where we become desensitized to horrible behavior, it gets at something profound, if unintentionally.
|
|
Guy Lodge, Variety Suffice it to say that even on a smaller screen, attributing anthropomorphic qualities to photoreal fauna remains a Disney stumbling block… It's an ungainly halfway measure, occasionally masked by shadow and shrewd camera movement, that all too often lands the film firmly in the uncanine valley, so to speak.
|
|
Unlike its evolutionary predecessors that possessed hyoids in a sturdy rod-like configuration, Microdocodon's hyoids had mobile joints and were arranged in a "U" shape that let it chew food in the mouth and then swallow it along with liquids one small lump at a time rather than in big, ungainly gulps.
|
|
The DHS's prized pig is the "Albert" sensor, an ungainly gray box that attaches itself, koala-like, to a server rack and monitors incoming online traffic in real time — then sends alerts to a team of analysts sitting in the Elections Infrastructure Information Sharing & Analysis Center (EI-ISAC) facility in Albany, New York.
|
|
I liked it for many reasons: partly because the character is a big and somewhat ungainly man, partly because it's the sort of name people would constantly get wrong, which fed into Strike's constant, dogged battle in life to be his own person and free himself from the burden of his infamous parents.
|
|
It's a slightly ungainly-looking setup for a flying machine, which are usually sleek and streamlined, but it has just completed a short first test flight, and it has the lofty goal of being the sort of machine you could hail to get a traffic-skipping ride across town in a few years' time.
|
|
In this space, noise artist and Lynchian kindred spirit Alex Zhang Hungtai hypnotically honked on a sax alongside David Lynch's own son; dance producer Hudson Mohawke soundtracked Sky Ferreira scratching at an ungainly rash with gnarled-metal soundscapes; Eddie Vedder could come across as pained and mournful even while wearing a silly-looking hat.
|
|
Des Walker: "You'll never beat Des Walker" was the chant of the summer 28 years ago, and the central defender's lightning speed regularly helped bear out that prophecy as he often eased himself into position and the ball away from his opponent without ever having to resort to anything as ungainly as a tackle.
|
|
Nobody could watch, say, the Duke-Maryland games of the early '00s, which featured eight or nine future pros and were contested in front of rabid crowds and a national television audience, and persuasively argue that the game was better when jump shots required two ungainly seconds of setup before being fired from the hip.
|
|
This leaves the series trapped between its increasingly ungainly history — the major death that marked the end of season four happened only a few days ago when season six opens, even if the characters seem to live in an eternal present with contemporary pop culture and political references — and wherever it's trying to go next.
|
|
If debates lived up to their supposed influence, we would expect more variance (for those truly interested in the ungainly statistical details, the coefficient of variation was 0.71, meaning that 71% of variance in post-debate polling could be explained by pre-debate polling.) Of course, polls tend to move only so much in a short window.
|
|
Amid the legal dictates and the compassionate gestures, there's a smell of snobbery here, such as only England can emit, and a reluctance to confront an ungainly truth: that bookishness and cultivation, so treasured by those who possess them, are no guarantee of human value, let alone of one's status in the eyes of the law.
|
|
The advice that Alice gave him—always to wear custom-made shirts with French cuffs and cufflinks, to make his long, ungainly arms look elegant rather than awkward; always to be photographed from the left side, because that side of his face looked better; to wear Countess Mara neckties—he followed slavishly for the rest of his life.
|
|
"Let Me Finish" is a superficial and ungainly book that tries to cover so many bases at once — it's a series of attacks and justifications, it's a master class in sucking up and kicking down, it's a potted memoir, it's a stab at political rehabilitation — that reading it is like watching an octopus try to play the bagpipes.
|
|
Auteurs like Luca Guadagnino or Paolo Sorrentino, with their swooping, reeling shots and kinetic dance sequences, may get more credit for capturing bodily experience on film, but Lanthimos arguably shows greater fidelity to our actual bodies, stubborn and awkwardly choreographed by fate, etiquette and overarching structures of power — not glamorous bodies but bodies of ungainly yearning.
|
|
It's clear that Bell has an actual book in him, a story of an ungainly, itinerant blerd ("black nerd"), a lover of Bruce Lee and indie rock who feels at odds with some aspects of mainstream black culture (and white culture, for that matter), and yet feels strongly enough about his identity to capitalize the "B" in black.
|
|
Koch Membrane Systems (owned, yes, by those Koch brothers) was there to offer a variety of filtering machines, as was ATP Group, whose Smart cross-flow unit, in which wine is streamed across filtering membranes in a machine that looks like an ungainly church organ, set a new standard in mobile filtration systems, said David Douglas, a senior director.
|
|
A Wrinkle in Time has come in for criticism, bordering on gleeful dismantling of the film from some corners, perhaps because DuVernay's directorial career has seemed somewhat charmed to this point (her last two films, Selma and 13th, were both nominated for major Oscars), and Wrinkle is an obviously ungainly thing, even if you like it.
|
|
He had a special bond with Fernandez, insisting that the Marlins put him on their opening day roster in 2013, even though Fernandez was 20 years old and had never pitched above Class A. Loria remembered a shopping spree Fernandez made on his first road trip, how ungainly he looked hauling bags of electronics and video games around with him.
|
|
After the war, under the critical pressures of Social Realism on one side and Surrealism on the other, many young French Catholic painters preferred to use the ungainly term 'Non-Figuration' to describe their esthetic program rather than use terms (such as Cercle et Carré or Abstraction-Création) that could refer directly or indirectly to the "cold" geometries of abstraction.
|
|
Indeed, the coalition of voters that mobilized against Mr. Trump was broad, diverse and somewhat ungainly, taking in young people and minorities who reject his culture-war politics; women appalled by what they see as his misogyny; seniors alarmed by Republican health care policies; and upscale suburban whites who support gun control and environmental regulation as surely as they favor tax cuts.
|
|
The movie was adored for its endearing, if ungainly interaction between its two main characters: a fastidious, erudite African American pianist (Mahershala Ali, who won his second Best Supporting Actor Oscar in two years Sunday playing Don Shirley) and the coarse, big-hearted white nightclub bouncer (Viggo Mortensen) chauffeuring him on a concert tour through the racially segregated South of the early 1960s.
|
|
The ungainly human megaphone that exists to amplify and protect the president seemed happiest and most comfortable when claiming that Democrats loved Soleimani and in fact cried when he died because they wanted to hug and kiss him—both because that type of retro smear is a more natural movement for the megaphone operators and because it didn't require any frantic trips to the memory hole.

And at the very least, such places stand in ungainly contrast to the harmonious, continuous backdrop of an architectural ensemble extending from Rockefeller Center past St. Patrick's Cathedral; past the renovated Cartier mansion; past the French-style travertine structure into which Harry Winston first moved in 1960 with $35 million in jewels; past the University Club, a neo-Florentine palazzo designed by McKim, Mead & White; past Henri Bendel's etched-glass Lalique facade; past outposts of Piaget, Omega, De Beers, Mikimoto and other suppliers to what, in Edith Wharton's day, would have been called the carriage trade.
