Unfortunately, that sense of dislocation extends more clumsily to the relation of the script to the songs.

In the waning moments of summer, Minaj continues to remain in the forefront of rap news, but more clumsily than triumphantly.

When President Barack Obama more clumsily offered up a similar mantra, it became a meme at the 2012 Republican National Convention.

It's not because she stuffs them with references to the Founding Fathers—some of her colleagues do that more often, and more clumsily—but because she knows how to weave an internally coherent and satisfying narrative, incorporating different strands of explanation and event.

Cephalopods such as squid use jet propulsion for rapid escape from predators; they use other mechanisms for slow swimming. The jet is produced by ejecting water through a siphon, which typically narrows to a small opening to produce the maximum exhalent velocity. The water passes through the gills prior to exhalation, fulfilling the dual purpose of respiration and locomotion. Sea hares (gastropod molluscs) employ a similar method, but without the sophisticated neurological machinery of cephalopods they navigate somewhat more clumsily.

Throughout her husband's uneven career, Catherine not only took an active role in the production of William's engravings and illuminated books; she also ran the household finances and offered strong practical support. William's friend J. T. Smith said that Blake "allowed her, to the last moment of his practice, to take off his proof impressions and print his works, which she did most carefully." Catherine's role in colouring at least some of William's illuminated books has been wide, although her hand is usually attributed to some of the more clumsily rendered passages. Her work as a printer is held in higher regard.

The fledging of the young eagles occurs relatively quickly at somewhere between 55–65 days, due probably to the vulnerability of the nest sites, quickly leaving the nest is probably advantages to avoid dangers peculiar to these eagles nest like predators, wildfires, cattle-trampling, humans and so on. Usually, the second fledgling initially flies somewhat later and more clumsily than the first. The difference in fledgling times from the first to the second fledgling was recorded to be 8 to 10 days in Transbaikal. The mother steppe eagle in Kalmykia is not as tight a sitter as other Aquila eagles tend to be and flushed when approached within and may too take a relatively long time to return.

We rowed directly into this bay; and > as soon as we had got round the point of an island which lay off the > harbour, we discovered all the beach covered with naked savages who were all > armed with lances and clubs; and twelve canoes all full of them who, till we > had passed them, had lain concealed, immediately rushed out upon me, making > a horrid noise: this, you may suppose, alarmed us greatly; and as I had only > one European and four black soldiers, besides the four lascars that rowed > the boat.

Like the music, the ballet still comes under critical fire at times. In a New York Times 2011 review of the Mariinsky staging, Alastair Macaulay faults Alonso for turning "the dance impulse in Bizet’s music into something heavier and more clumsily expressionistic," then adds, > Nothing about "Carmen Suite" is remotely subtle, though the narrative makes > Carmen look considerably more dishonest about her change of erotic > allegiance (from José to the Torero) than in the opera. The characters keep > posing for us and one another; steps are hurled flamboyantly, like stunts. > Early on it seems Carmen is the bullfighter aiming her darts at first one > lover, then the next; but a final quartet — featuring her, José, the Torero > and Fate — proceeds through a certain amount of partner changing until > Carmen lies dead at José’s feet and Fate at the Torero’s. (It’s not often > that you come away feeling Fate got a rough deal.)Macaulay, NY Times review.
