By his own admission in the Times's profile — which is accompanied by a series of alternately jolly and brooding behind-the-scenes photos — Fallon was "devastated" by the tidal wave of backlash that followed his encounter with Trump, which alleged that he'd neutralized the incendiary candidate as a harmless oddity.

Giacomo Catania, an inspector with the Guardia di Finanza who was in charge of storing the incoming drugs, explained another oddity: The enormous cargo ships they seized — some as long as a soccer field and designed to carry fleets of automobiles or cargo containers — were empty except for the drugs.

Decisions to allow for teleworking differ among companies, but generally, the following determinants seem to increase the probability of teleworking: As with any technological and organizational change, the full implementation of teleworking arrangements could take decades as it becomes more of an accepted norm rather than a privilege or oddity.

The doctors might have cut this giant sack of skin and pus from my body, but it was only the first of probably many little gifts from my new friend endometriosis—a mysterious medical oddity I was diagnosed with that will stick with me for the rest of my life.

But there was only one thing I really wanted to see: the Nakagin Capsule Tower, a grand architectural oddity designed by Kisho Kurokawa, a founding genius behind Japanese Metabolism, an innovative movement united around the desire to create buildings whose forms mirrored and were responsive to those of living organisms.

The franken-truck, dubbed "E-10," is not the only wonderful one-off oddity to come out of this year's Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) trade show, which took place this week in Las Vegas, as Ford also announced a head-turning prototype electric Mustang with a six-speed gearbox.

Women running and becoming mayors, governors, attorneys general, secretary of state or any number of state-wide elected office is no longer greeted as an oddity, though we are still subject to much greater scrutiny and higher standards for everything from our wardrobes to the depth of our policy positions.

One of the townspeople of Cloonoila is glancingly introduced as "Fifi, who was a bit of a card from her time in Australia," a phrase that might seem like nothing much but that instantly summarizes a community's world view, precisely because the imputation is never explained: Australia just equals oddity.

Adaptations of Shakespeare, from "West Side Story" to "The Boys from Syracuse," have flourished from time to time, but it is notable that the early, more strongly plotted plays are remade most persuasively: the musical adaptation of "Othello" (which starred, of all people, Jerry Lee Lewis) remains a memorable oddity.

American astronauts first welcome Chinese space voyagers to their space station in the year 2020, and Besson keeps cutting forward and forward (to the strains of David Bowie's "Space Oddity"), as delegations from unnamed other nations join the space station and then other planets, every meeting marked with a simple handshake.

The anthology runs the gamut between the strange case of Phineas Gage—who famously survived an iron bar through his skull in 1848—and the mysterious neurological oddity known as prosopagnosia (the inability to recognize faces), to the black-capped chickadee, dark matter, the weird effects of relativity, and the science of fermentation.

On Clothing On a recent night, shopping online for a light jacket or a cotton sweater — some kind of outerwear to guard my body against a springlike breeze — I clicked on the ''new arrivals'' page of the website of a popular retailer and encountered, unexpectedly, another instance of the complex oddity of race.

Even if you don't know how to ski or are not a fan of winter sports, it's well worth the visit just to see the sheer oddity of a ski slope inside an enormous shopping mall in one of the hottest inhabited cities on earth — and also to see the penguins waddling around.

Located off the south coast of the main island, the largest of the nation's 4,000-odd offshore cays and islands, it has been specializing in oddity ever since Christopher Columbus weighed anchor here to find provisions on his second voyage in 1494 and was mystified by its monstrous crocodiles and raucous bird life.
|

The manufacturing boom of the postwar years was an oddity, and there will be no repeat of the concatenation that made it happen: The backlog of innovations stored up during the Great Depression and World War II; the devastation of other industrial powers, Germany in particular, which gave the United States a competitive edge.

Titles like the 1943 RKO Picture "Tender Comrade" (cited in House Un-American Activities Committee hearings as an example of "Communist propaganda") and the 1977 oddity "The Last Dinosaur" (a rare live-action outing for the animation producers Arthur Rankin Jr. and Jules Bass) have been cited on Twitter as candidates for streaming retirement.

It is an oddity of the place that its members insist on secrecy—there are some three hundred, but there is no public list, and omertà is strictly enforced—and yet here, at the biggest golf tournament of the year, they parade about in uniform, wearing name tags: Roger Goodell , Sam Nunn, Rex Tillerson .

"I suppose that I ought/To have bayed at the moon/Singing the praises/of John C. Calhoun/But I cannot," the writer Leonard Bacon confessed in a long poem written for the dedication, which went on to note the oddity of honoring the architect of Southern secession in an "abolitionist town" like New Haven.

Lucid's Peter Rawlinson, the car maker's chief technical officer, has a lot of experience with being an upstart in cars — his previous job was as a vice president and engineering lead at Tesla Motors, where he led development of the Model S and ushered the company from boutique luxury oddity to the first truly viable U.S. electric-specific automaker.

During its roots in the 90s, drum and bass was as obscure as a genre could get in Singapore, but a handful of pioneers managed to turn a frenetic oddity into a fully formed movement that has endured for over two decades now, silencing claims that the squeaky-clean island nation wasn't capable of producing gritty subcultures.

Released in conjunction with the first moon landing, "Space Oddity"—which, after debuting as a single, would later appear on his eponymous debut album—tells the story of the astronaut Major Tom, who travels into the far reaches of space, loses contact with ground control, and leaves listeners to wonder whether his fate will be triumphant or tragic.

Zipping through Laurel Canyon folk, misty-eyed late-afternoon melancholy, fluttering flamenco, private press oddity perfection, cosmically-inclined country rock, breathy synth-pop, Ibizan hillside police chase soundtracks, waterlogged house-not-house, and Barry White, this is the sound of two men who know good music inside out doing nothing but playing amazing records for nearly six hours.

One of the major perks about living in Japan, I thought before I moved to the country, would be the TV. I'd been raised in the UK on a steady diet of Takeshi's Castle (MXC in the US), Nintendo games, and incomprehensible internet videos, so I was expecting wall-to-wall oddity on my own Japanese flatscreen.

And therein lies the oddity: If you actually experienced these worlds, and contrasted them with the normal world of high-minded liberal secularism, it was the charismatic-religious and "health food" regions where people were the most personally empirical, least inclined to meekly submit to authority, and most determined to reason independently and keep trying things until they worked.

The music included "The Community Theme Song," a samba-inflected tune by the trombonist Wycliffe Gordon with a gently lingering melody; David Bowie's "Space Oddity"; and a surprise cameo from Black Thought of the Roots, who rapped a casually prodigious freestyle over the beat from Nas's "One Love," played by Mr. Wolf, Mr. Williams and Mr. Gilmore.

In short, the result, the recently released Tales Of H.P. Lovecraft LP on Static Caravan, is a spooky little oddity that we've been spinning late at night with some regularity at THUMP HQ. We wanted to scare you silly so we've brought you an interview with Duke St Workshop and an exclusive listen to the album.

Released in 1969, it would rocket to the top of the U.K. singles charts and set the tone for many of Bowie's extraterrestrial/existential mashups to come: The end of the '60s and early 1970s were a heady time for Bowie, as he pumped out instant classics Space Oddity, The Man Who Sold the World (20103) and Hunky Dory (1971).

"[The command could be in] some popular YouTube video that has this strange noise in the background that a human being would just dismiss as an oddity, but that at the same time that noise could be controlling a cellphone that just happens to be located next to a computer," said Micah Sherr, an associate professor in Georgetown University's Department of Computer Science.

HBO today put out the first trailer for the sixth season of the low-fantasy show, an 80-second clip set in the spooky Hall of Faces first seen in the... The iconic Porsche 911 is a legitimate oddity for an auto industry that's always obsessed with the new, because in its half century of existence, it really hasn't changed all that much.

RELATED: Brooke Baldwin: 2018 is the year of the woman on the ballot The possibility of a close general election reflects an oddity of the 2018 political map: Most signs point to a dominant year for Democrats nationwide, but Republicans could be re-elected to the governors' offices in four typically deep-blue Northeastern states: Massachusetts, Maryland, New Hampshire and Vermont.

Mr. Duque's success in a country whose Constitution enshrines the right to universal health care, education and a progressive taxation system should be a warning to progressives and advocates for the poor across the region, as well as to academic economists, who may soon find themselves fighting the same kind of right-wing economic populism that has until now been regarded as an American oddity.

It wasn't one of those moments that needed time to reveal itself in full; everyone knew, music critics and football fans alike, that Prince had pulled off something special and rare, a titanic cultural moment borne not out of shock, like Janet's bare breast, and not out of oddity, like Katy Perry's viral left shark, but out of sheer, indisputable musicianship, the kind you can't fake.

The period is compartmentalized into technical explorations thus: "Play within a Play" shows his investigations into the conventions of perspective (his reimagining of Hogarth's famous perspectival oddity in "Kerby (After Hogarth) Useful Knowledge" of 1975 is a cocky artist's in-joke); "Demonstrations of Versatility" covers his work at the Royal College of Art, in which Hockney selects or discards different styles, treating painting as an intellectual exercise.
