When Hamilton star Mandy Gonzalez sat down with her good friend, actor, writer and composer Lin-Manuel Miranda, to discuss writing a song for her upcoming album, she had an unlikely source of inspiration: #FearlessSquad, the massive, inspirational social media movement that she started "by happenstance" after posting a picture of herself and some of her cast mates.

The press's newest title, New York City Transit Authority: Objects, vividly exemplifies Reed and Smyth's finely tuned approach, but in order to understand how and why it does, it helps to know a bit about how they somewhat unexpectedly became publishers, a story that often seems to be the stuff of happenstance and uncannily good timing.

By happenstance, the intelligence report on the Democratic National Committee hacking was circulating here the day that Mr. Obama issued a new policy, long in development, to organize the government's response to major cyberattacks and to set up a six-point "grading system" to assess the severity of strikes against American companies, government agencies and organizations.

To cite just a few (a handful of which I owe to the Enlarge Your Paris guys, the others to happenstance): I hiked in a forest, had a close encounter with the actual embalmed heart of Louis XVII and listened to a cumbia band in an immense former marble factory alongside French hipsters drinking American I.P.A.s.

Almost as soon as she came on the scene, Ms. Welch became a fashion industry darling, but her ethereal look was nearly happenstance, said Tom Beard, a director and photographer who began shooting the musician when they were students at Camberwell College of Arts in South London in the mid-2000s, and continued to create her album covers.

"The strikes demonstrate Iran's ballistic missiles have accurate and precise guidance systems," said Carl Schuster, a former director of operations at the US Pacific Command's Joint Intelligence Center, noting that the more than dozen missiles fired at US targets did not cause a single casualty, something he and other analysts said was by design, not happenstance.

And while it's happenstance that Alias Grace will (re)enter public consciousness amid an avalanche of allegations against men who have exploited their power to abuse, harass, or otherwise violate women, those allegations and Alias Grace are simply two different vantages of the same reality — in which patriarchy is never not in the process of finding ways to sustain itself.

Confronting the reality "Making a Murderer" is forcing us to confront those disparate views anew, as well as encouraging us to better understand that the people who are ticketed or jailed and imprisoned more, and more harshly, than the rest of us aren't necessarily more deserving of punishment than those of us who have skated by dent of birth, happenstance or policy design.

They are brimming with motion and emotive in their gestural renderings of a subject with whom the artist clearly feels an energy—a pulse below the surface fueling the frenetic lines in a happenstance manner similar to pentimento, the reappearance in a painting of original elements that were painted over by the artist, which Tangye intentionally experimented with in this series.

Red Sox 238, Yankees 224 As the Yankees began to slowly get their groove back this week, it was easy to forget — in the barrage of home runs, increasingly patient at-bats and encouraging turns by J. A. Happ and Luis Severino — that the Boston Red Sox had not roared to the verge of a franchise record for victories by happenstance.

Possibility flickers through the city's streets, the potential of new encounters set against those eternal slate-colored facades — "Sleep of Memory" is a throwback to a Paris where life still happened on the terrasses, before everyone retreated into laptops and phones and before time was money, when some happenstance meeting in the morning might turn into an afternoon with an unknown ending.

By happenstance, just hours before Mr. Trump's conversation with Ms. Tsai, Henry A. Kissinger, the former secretary of state who designed the "One China" policy, was in Beijing meeting with Mr. Xi. It was unclear if Mr. Kissinger, 93, was carrying any message from Mr. Trump, with whom he met again recently in his role as the Republican Party's foreign policy sage.

As I wrote earlier this year, conspiracy theories work on everyone because the will to believe in something is omnipresent for everyone: Here's the really important point: Conspiracy theories aren't created by evidence, but by belief, or by the desire to believe, that there must be something more to the events that shape our lives, culture, and politics than accident or happenstance.

Newcomers often don't stand a chance of riding it, usually getting washed up on the shores of the multi-million-dollar American dream-home Riviera that inspired the television series "The O.C." The Wedge is a fortunate accident of engineering, the result of a jetty, built in 1936, that extends 1,900 feet offshore from Newport Beach—a cosmic happenstance between nature and man's will to control it.

After sustaining a broken leg Sunday night in a mid-air collision with teammate Kam Chancellor, Seattle Seahawks safety Earl Thomas did not wait for the end of the game to let the world know how he was feeling: like his career was over: In a freak moment of happenstance, Thomas crashed into Chancellor's leg in the second quarter of Seattle's 40-7 demolition of Carolina.

Today, any kid with rudimentary computer skills can access a universe of inappropriate content, but my friends and I hoarded the knowledge that Blockbusters in town would let you rent an R-rated movie without an ID. Today, countless film bloggers help fans discover indie gems, but I relied on my friends' recommendations and the random happenstance of whatever showed up on the Blockbuster shelves.

Having listened to the remix a number of times I will not disclose publicly, lest my mam become concerned and ask if I'm OK like she did after I scrawled all the lyrics to In Utero over my bedroom walls in black chalk aged 12, I have arrived at two theories on this matter—one of which is very simple, the other a complex combination of socio-political climate, memes and happenstance.

The timing of their comments, which represent the most comprehensive report on the Trump administration's campaign against the Islamic State, was not happenstance: It came as Mr. Trump headed out on a nine-day visit to Saudi Arabia and Europe, where he will not only seek to rally support for the campaign against the Islamic State in Syria and Iraq, but also try to gain commitments from NATO for more troops in Afghanistan.

"Happenstance and the (sometimes) international reach of the NRA placed me in a position a couple of years ago to slowly begin cultivating a back-channel to President Putin's Kremlin," he wrote, according to a report written by Democrats on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, who wanted her to be called as a witness in their investigation of possible Trump campaign collusion with the Russian meddling; the Republican leaders of the committee refused their request.

The entire sequence of six paintings is collectively known as Poesie, and it is based on Metamorphoses, a shape-shifting masterpiece of a book-length poem about the bad deeds of the gods of antiquity by Publius Ovidius Naso (aka Ovid), a Roman blackguard (it was mere happenstance that he proved to be a genius) from almost a couple of millennia back, who was finally exiled to the Black Sea coast for his many misdemeanors, where he was not a happy bunny.

"While this is sort of happenstance that we get the strong data right after (the election), it's just more confirmation that things are moving along OK, and if Trump adds to that there's some reason to see higher yields," said Justin Hoogendoorn, head of fixed income strategy at Piper Jaffray & Co. Yields on 10- and 30-year Treasuries touched their highest levels of the session after the data, steepening the Treasury yield curve as yields on shorter-dated maturities were flat.

"To my Republican colleagues who fail to see anything but innocent happenstance in these events, I would only ask you whether you would view the matter differently if [Obama national security adviser] Susan Rice had been engaged in secret discussions with the Russians, or a Russian attorney flew from Moscow to meet secretly with Chelsea Clinton and [Hillary Clinton campaign manager] Robby Mook in Clinton headquarters and then lied about it," he said during his opening statement in the closed-door meeting.

What work will you leave behind I ask the tailor Who has sewn the button upon my shoe I can walk again Yesterday everything felt so hopeless Now I have the energy to sit in the sun All of the damned seething baths Now I am finally on my own When I go places I call her And unload my fashionable happenstance I used to stop in the street and pick up an acorn There were so many things I used to do In the middle of the fire I went and thought to mention it to the ghost I have already burned, it said Its face was like my father's but was different What work will you leave behind I asked myself while in the rain Oh , this and that , it answered me And handed me the stars, then the moon
