Cadaverous

• A first wave of cadaverous firms are seeking rebirth under a

bankruptcy code adopted in December 2016.

• In 1847, he hypothesized that puerperal fever was spread by doctors

carrying “cadaverous particles” from the deadhouse to the obstetrics
ward at Vienna’s General Hospital.

• He's also given the tall, gangling, slightly cadaverous writer ill-fitting
clothes and cabbage-patch hair which he thinks were characteristic.

• Though most people look less cartoonish up close the president

somehow looks more so: the preposterous hair and the radioactive
orange glow and the black overcoat and lumpy cadaverous face.
 Candid
• We all giggled at the candid eloquence of her remark.

• The formula for their allure cuts a cunning line between

candid and crude.

• “To be candid, they don’t care that much about price.

People here aren’t going to serve a Beaujolais at a dinner
party.”

• He gets candid about how he became a success story after a

difficult upbringing in rural Arkansas.
 Cardinal
• “I think it’s a witness that no one is above the law . . . if a cardinal is
obedient to the new process.”

• The man whose allegations led to the downfall of the cardinal is now a
62-year-old businessman who is married and lives in northern New
Jersey, his lawyer, Patrick Noaker, said in an interview.

• He borrowed the analogy of a late Italian cardinal who likened the

Church to a flowing river, with room for different views.

• “There is one cardinal rule in Silicon Valley that most people never
realize,” said Paul Saffo, a longtime technology consultant, “and this is
never ever breathe your own exhaust.”
 Carping
• The goal now “should be to nurture this rather than crush it through
constant carping.”

• Despite the carping of younger critics, he remained ever faithful to his

Romantic Realist principles.

• Trump’s newfound pragmatism is infinitely preferable to the threat of

nuclear war that used to hang over all of us, so it’s mystifying to see
Democrats carping about any possible North Korea deal.

• Yet Rhodes was still fighting the last war against the tired Washington
establishment, the reflexive hawks, the carping ignoramuses in the
media.
 Catalyst
• Zoom in on a singular character or an unexpected catalyst.

• The catalyst was a day he and his dad were in the little town
of Bolton, in Hinds County.

• A catalyst of social change, Ms. Rashid said, is the growing

number of Saudi women who are graduating from college,
traveling abroad on scholarships and entering the work force.

• Hughes also credited the reserves as being the catalyst to a

96-85 victory against Chicago last week.
 Cavalier
• “Put another way, the policy reflects a shift from ‘use it without using
it up’ to a very short-sighted and cavalier ‘use it aggressively and
irresponsibly.’

• “There is a point in which it is cavalier to not place gear. It was

slightly worrisome,” Cannon said.

• But at least one immediate effect of that cultural shift is a CEO that is
much less cavalier about the lives of the so-called “partner drivers.”

• Either way, it promises to be a thrilling, extreme and in its own way

entirely apt meeting of the knockout cavaliers.
 Censor
• The censoring of social media posts was the latest sign of the
country’s increasing sensitivity over political content and satire.

• Ironically, China appears to be censoring people’s reactions to the

news that some censorship is being lifted.

• “The efforts to censor Bruce Gilley’s article and the attacks on him
personally were outrageous,” Mr. Wood said in a statement.

• Oliver also mocked China’s “Belt and Road” initiative, its ongoing
crackdown on corruption, and moves to censor online images of
the cartoon bear Winnie the Pooh, said to resemble Xi.
 Cerebral
• Hawaii brought up the case of the 10-year-old girl with cerebral
palsy who was initially denied a waiver.

• Green championed several philanthropic causes, including battling

childhood cancer, cerebral palsy and other illnesses.

• He was also a champion of charity, working with various causes

including childhood cancer and united cerebral palsy.

• For Chalmers, the easy part of consciousness entails mapping

exactly what the brain is doing, whether it is oscillations in the
cerebral cortex or re-entrant loops in the thalamocortical system.
 Champion
• Two teams were crowned champions on a sunny Sunday at Lake
Sammamish Park.

• Florida, the defending national champion, showcases one of the

oddest rituals.

• None were coached by Africans, but Cissé was the captain of that
inspirational Senegal team 16 years ago that upset the defending
champion, France, in its opening game and then rode the wave from
there.

• “Let’s hear it for our champion,” the governor’s aide shouted at one
point.
 Chauvinist
• Concerns did not affect test performance in either the chauvinist or
progressive conditions: these groups answered about 8 of 12 moderately
difficult analogies correctly.

• The original Priest was a two-timing chauvinist; in the modern version

he's in a committed polyamorous relationship with two consenting women.

• And whether Hindu chauvinist, radical Islamist or white nationalist, their

self-image depends on despising and excluding women.

• Even in the 1950s, when so few of us were "woke," people understood that
Henry Higgins was a male chauvinist--that was part of the underlying
humor of the original show.
 Checkered
• But when Martin Truex Jr. and Harvick pitted early on Lap 22,
Allmendinger inherited the top spot and held it through the
green/checkered flag, collecting the first stage win of his career.

• After taking the first of two street races at Belle Isle on June 2, Dixon
took the checkered flag at Texas Motor Speedway a week later.

• They too were dressed in their courtroom best: a purple jersey dress
for Debbie; pleated slacks, a pink checkered shirt, and a tie for Karl.

• Always on opposite ends of the conservative spectrum, Mr. Seehofer,

68, and Ms. Merkel, 63, nevertheless share a long and checkered
history.
 Check
• A quick sprint off to check a screen.

• Hu Jianxin, a professor at Peking University who studies such

chemicals and advises policymakers, said he and other experts
needed time to check the findings and track down possible sources in
China and elsewhere.

• The government already garnishes Social Security checks and wages

for retirees who failed to repay student debt.

• "Effective food enforcement must be a government priority, including

robust checks on imports as well as co-operation with the EU and
other countries on food risks."
 Chivalrous
• Iranian wrestling is essentially a Persian version of baseball — Iran’s
national pastime, an athletic ritual celebrated as an almost
chivalrous mechanism for building character.

• Old-school tradition dictated that the guy paid as part of a chivalrous

romantic courtship.

• “He is an intelligent, kind, chivalrous, caring, professional man. And

he is deeply troubled and angry and violent. I don’t think those things
are mutually exclusive.”

• The novel’s male leads are notably, and perhaps preposterously,

chivalrous.
 Clemency
• The board ruled 8-1 against clemency, despite holding a second hearing
last week in which a juror on Tibbetts’ case said he regrets his decision to
recommend execution.

• “He should be commended for using his clemency power in that case,” the
players wrote.

• Author Ken Hughes noted over the weekend that in December 1974, James
Neal told a jury considering charges against Watergate defendants about
“veiled, camouflaged offers of clemency made without using that word.”

• Until then, consideration of clemency is unnecessary, Giuliani said, as the

White House presses to bring the yearlong investigation to an end.
 Coalesce
• Right, but you end the piece with a quote from her, which is: “It all
coalesces around Trump. It’s either, ‘Trump wants to put people in cages,
in concentration camps.’

• The markets behave this way, like flocking birds—coalescing, scattering,

coalescing again.

• Yet there is a dark side to this fandom, exemplified in recent displays of

extreme possessiveness: blatant sexist and racist remarks from fans that
coalesce with conservative grievance culture.

• I saw how salient the food-ways of Africans, East Indians, Spanish, Chinese,
French, Syrians, Portuguese and Germans coalesced and gently infiltrated
our day-to-day lives.
 Cogent
• It is a remarkably cogent and compelling history of everything.

• In a cogent 3,500-word article he explained why a flagrantly

partisan attack on the legal authority of Robert Mueller,
enthusiastically trumpeted by the president, is utterly bogus.

• A more cogent critique is that he lacks government experience.

• When tested, “he’s more compelling and more cogent,” he said.

 Cohesive
• It’s not clear yet how cohesive the game will be, as players will be
transitioning between two seemingly very different experiences.

• It exhibits cohesive design that the Vivo Nex and other phones aren’t
even close to, and it instantly adds a degree of character and uniqueness
in a highly competitive but also homogenous Android flagship market.

• His national-squad teammates are not as good as his teammates at

Barcelona, or, at least, their play is not as cohesive.

• That injury, then a few minutes later one to Iran’s Omid Ebrahimi, who
went off clutching his side, combined to provide a short breather, which
in turn sparked a more cohesive spell for the Moroccans.
 Collusion
• Said Trump: “I think that the report . . . totally exonerates me.
There was no collusion, there was no obstruction.”

• The chief evidence of collusion is the hacking of the

Democratic National Committee’s servers.

• A collusion case he filed against the league remains

unsettled.

• “Why? Because there is collusion between all three

branches of power.”
 Colossal
• Given his colossal appetites, he might fit in all three.

• But the outcome of the May 1 ballot stunned the city: a landslide
victory for the anti-transit camp, which attacked the plan as a
colossal waste of taxpayers’ money.

• My partner proposed at a time when I was forced to carry a bag

of my own waste on my stomach and faced a colossal surgery.

• The technical skill needed to forge a Leonardo is colossal, but

with someone like Modigliani, it isn’t,” she said.
 Commendable
• “He wants to be judged by the content of his work and his ability
as a student, and I find that commendable.”

• Promoting adoption and making adoption a more attractive option

is commendable and in keeping with Louisiana values on life.

• “I think that’s commendable, and I think that speaks to his true

level of remorse,” Bruno said.

• The pope went on to state that efforts by big oil companies to

develop "more careful approaches to the assessment of climate
risk" were "commendable."
 Complacent
• Coach Juan Carlos Osorio insisted that his team would not be
complacent, however, underlining South Korea’s tactical nous.

• To dismiss it as a bunch of cowards perpetrating senseless acts of

violence is complacent nonsense.

• In that broadcast, more than 65 years ago, Ismay also warned that
“we must never be complacent” and that “the road may be rough”.

• The defending World Cup champions looked complacent, here to

accept the spoils of their victories but unwilling to put in the work
to ensure that they win.
 Complementary
• Macron said his proposal is “complementary” to one by EU Council
President Donald Tusk that would put migrant centers for assessing cases
in transit countries they used on the way to Europe.

• Along with the complementary Catskill Aqueduct, the two help connect a
complex system that serves 9.6 million people in New York City and upstate
municipalities.

• Cheng told almost 200 delegates at a China-Australia business forum that

the two economies were highly complementary and potential for future
cooperation in trade and services was huge.

• A variety of enzymes called polymerases read a single strand of DNA and

then synthesize a complementary strand that binds to it.
 Compound
• But Sweden must move on quickly from the pain, which was compounded
by the way that the German bench gloated in the red-raw aftermath of full-
time.

• Heather Jackson, who lives in Colorado Springs, began giving her son Zaki a
compound called Charlotte's Web, an unregulated type of CBD, six years
ago.

• The plight of these clients is compounded when a client can’t spell his
missing child’s name, or even his own, in English or Spanish.

• Those who begin saving early will be rewarded later in life by

compounding interest, in which the accumulated interest on their money
also earns interest, accelerating the growth of their nest eggs.
 Conducive
• And it is the hothouse environment of Argentine soccer, so destructive in
other ways, that is especially conducive to nurturing high-caliber
coaches.

• All Senate Republicans worthy of the conservative label that all Senate
Republicans flaunt would privately admit that this is conducive to sound
governance and true to the Constitution’s structure.

• Besides giving Instagram another potential drawing card, longer clips are
more conducive for video ads lasting from 30 seconds to one minute.

• “Are these detention centers or something more conducive to children

— what’s really going on?” he said.
 Conniving
• “It says exactly who he is, which is callous, conniving, and really not
focused on trying to solve any problems.”

• We want the newsletter to capture this magic and hidden camaraderie,

plus the conniving and rivalry the game is also known for.

• If you’re wondering why Americans expect only the worst from their
government, consider the cowardly, conniving actions of Norm Shinkle,
chairman of the Board of State Canvassers.

• With the exception of just a few characters, financial need and

conniving no longer play the large role they did in Trevor’s earlier
work.
 Consecrate
• The current Trinity Church, designed by architect Robert
Upjohn in the Gothic Revival style, was consecrated in 1846.

• To get inside was to be baptized, consecrated, canonized.

• She expected emotion to overcome her when she crossed the

threshold into the consecrated space of the sanctuary.

• Today Xi Jinping will be consecrated de facto president for

life.
 Constraint
• Lastly, there isn’t a technological constraint for consciousness
research in neuroscience.

• Salary cap constraints present a challenge, as does the wear of an

extra quarter of a season worth of games.

• It’s remarkable how Bournonville keeps the dancers looking

unaffectedly themselves, whereas in other repertory elements of
constraint and artifice creep in.

• Because of output constraints, the current proposal would

eventually amount to just 600,000 barrels a day of additional crude,
they say.
 Consummate
• “He was just the consummate professional,” Billings said.

• Indeed, the Emanuel administration’s decision to reward the tunneling

contract to the Boring Company constitutes a gamble on an
entrepreneur with a reputation for being the consummate hypeman.

• The proposed merger reflects that principle: the Government’s chief

economic expert, Professor Shapiro, predicts that the merger, if
consummated, would lead to $352 million in annual cost savings on
the part of AT&T’s customers.

• He is a consummate nerd; find someone who looks at you the way

Martin looks at his Fourier-transform infrared microscope.
 Contemptuous
• “You are, I think, a little bit contemptuous of the way I prosecute my
inquiries,” he said with a twinkle.

• In 1983, Leon Botstein, the president of Bard College and the conductor of
the American Symphony, wrote, in Harper’s, a lengthy, contemptuous
dismissal of Bernstein as a classical composer and conductor.

• William J. Bratton, Beck's predecessor, was brought in from the East Coast
to change the culture of a department where corruption festered and some
officers expressed contemptuous attitudes towards the residents they
policed.

• The mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo, also said that Mr. Trump’s portrayal of
the attacks was “contemptuous and unworthy.”
 Contrite
• That didn't stop Owens from campaigning, telling anyone who would
listen he was contrite for his past actions and that his numbers
should speak for themselves.

• After his defeat, Mr. Najib posted a Twitter message that was at least
partly contrite.

• Not a behind-the-scenes handshake, or a contrite text message,

Meyers told Politico, but a public, on-air apology for making fun of
Trump at the White House correspondents’ dinner.

• Defense attorney Sam Amirante said his client was “very, very
contrite.”
 Conundrum
• It is a unique conundrum in recent times –- a cornerstone player who
will be needed for the final six weeks, yet is ineligible for the postseason.

• "That, I think, is sympathetic and a real philosophical conundrum for

our time," she said.

• Other customers of the company may be troubled by an even more

fundamental conundrum: where is their workplace – and what, by
contrast, constitutes home?

• Indeed, Greene insists that the dilemmas were never meant to serve as
“cheap surrogates” for how people would respond to actual
conundrums: “That was never the goal from my point of view.”
 Convivial
• Only occasionally does the convivial civility turn to trail rage.

• Many members say that Yildirim is warm and convivial in

private, but his public persona is of a fiery figure with a
penchant for confrontation and conspiracy theories.

• The atmosphere was convivial, like a class reunion.

• Engaging with co-workers outside the office or shop floor

fosters a more convivial environment, with employees
relating to each other beyond their professional personas.
 Convoluted
• After two decades of convoluted legal maneuvers and a change in
the property’s ownership, a developer in 2011 turned the mill into
loft apartments.

• “The Little Foxes” is talky, with convoluted, Shakespearean

scheming; there’s a reason that thin plots are characteristic of a
sung art form.

• People are straining to find a convoluted and conspiratorial reason

for the awfulness they see on camera in Arizona and elsewhere.

• Maybe my mind was taking me in convoluted directions.

 Cornucopia
• The program ends with the perennial pas de six and tarantella from
Act III of “Napoli,” a sustained cornucopia of dance ebullience: The
extroverted spontaneity of southern Italy is encapsulated by Danish
classicism.

• Using his amendatory veto power, he effectively rewrote the

legislation to create a tough-on-crime cornucopia.

• The committee’s farm bill is a cornucopia of subsidies.

• Even for city dwellers with no green thumb or desire to raise

chickens, the census is a cornucopia of information about the
Evergreen State.
 Corroborate
• Their stories were corroborated by domestic- violence workers
and lawyers who handled their cases.

• Their stories were corroborated by domestic violence workers

and lawyers who handled their cases.

• He also said he couldn’t corroborate information provided by

the Journal about the Swiss and Belgian investigations.

• “But I don’t want you to worry. Your story is key here. It

corroborates the autopsy and evidence. So let’s not worry about
that for now.”
 Cosmopolitan
• Unlike in bigger and more cosmopolitan cities like Riyadh or Jeddah,
no one cheered as Ms. al-Wabli drove past.

• Later, when entrepreneurial pursuits took her back to Vietnam for six
years, her home base was District 1, the cosmopolitan business
center of Saigon-Ho Chi Minh City.

• “She is a Russian. Her husband realized all this money before the
Revolution and invested it abroad. She is extremely rich. A
cosmopolitan.”

• He then spent nearly 20 years in Kathmandu, Nepal’s relatively

cosmopolitan capital.
 Credence
• Like Alisson, they do not just believe that the stereotype is untrue;
they are somewhat mystified as to how it gained credence in the first
place.

• Coupled with credence, it opens up a world of possibility.

• The presence of Anglo-Saxon scholars in Sinai lends credence to Prof

Brown's hypothesis that Celtic sites like Skellig Michael, far off the
west coast of Ireland, show evidence of the influence of Eastern
monasticism.

• It was largely seen as a publicity stunt but earned the vice president
credence from his boss.
 Creditable
• It’s the sort of creditable handling of Shaw you’d expect at any
good theater.

• Germany, ranked second in the world, twice took the lead but
White pegged them back each time to secure a hugely creditable
draw in the SheBelieves Cup.

• Alongside him, the strain on Mayer’s face was clear, but he stayed
in Warner’s slipstream to record a creditable 7.83.

• Nevertheless, Jeff Sessions is of the view that Republican critics

of the DOJ are to be seen as creditable sources of opinion.
 Credulity
• It is an explanation that stretches credulity, to put it nicely.

• President Donald Trump is stretching credulity at home and

abroad by declaring there is “no longer a Nuclear Threat from
North Korea” after his summit with Kim Jong Un.

• “It also strains credulity that the president wasn’t aware of this
when he made his favorable comments about ZTE.”

• The breadth of this expertise is so breathtaking as to strain

credulity, leading a suspicious mind to wonder whether these
payments were not in fact for expertise but instead for influence.
 Cumbersome
• The staffing issues cap a cumbersome process that is adding red
tape to U.S. manufacturing even as the Trump administration boasts
of its deregulation efforts.

• Requiring health professionals to test each child before administering

vaccine will be cumbersome and add to the cost of using this vaccine
—a fact Gurunathan acknowledged.

• Will they be able to do so without tripping over cumbersome sitcom

clichés about learning to get along and being honest with themselves?

• When security was ramped up after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11,
2001, crossing the border became more cumbersome.
