  1. particular

    A circumstance (Latin circum, around, and sto, stand), is something existing or occurring in connection with or relation to some other fact or event, modifying or throwing light upon the principal matter without affecting its essential character; an accompaniment is something that unites with the principal matter, tho not necessary to it; as, the piano accompaniment to a song; a concomitant goes with a thing in natural connection, but in a subordinate capacity, or perhaps in contrast; as, cheerfulness is a concomitant of virtue. A circumstance is not strictly, nor usually, an occasion, condition, effect, or result. (See these words under CAUSE.) Nor is the circumstance properly an incident. (See under ACCIDENT.) We say, «My decision will depend upon circumstances» — not «upon incidents.» That a man wore a blue necktie would not probably be the cause, occasion, condition, or concomitant of his committing murder; but it might be a very important circumstance in identifying him as the murderer. All the circumstances make up the situation. A certain disease is the cause of a man’s death; his suffering is an incident; that he is in his own home, that he has good medical attendance, careful nursing, etc., are consolatory circumstances. With the same idea of subordination, we often say, «This is not a circumstance to that.» So a person is said to be in easy circumstances. Compare EVENT.

    Synonyms:
    accompaniment, circumstance, concomitant, detail, event, fact, feature, incident, item, occurrence, point, position, situation

    Preposition:
    «Mere situation is expressed by ‘in the circumstances’; action affected is performed ‘under the circumstances.'» [Murray’s «New English Dictionary»]

  1. James Comey:

    It wouldve been irresponsible not to investigate. And we dont investigate, despite what the partisans say, to find a particular result, we investigate to find out whats true. And as best I can tell, it looks like Bob Mueller was allowed to do that and thats a great thing.

  2. Joe Capurso:

    So can further evidence that the FOMC’s outlook for inflation is shifting. In particular, analysts will look for signs that the FOMC is less confident the spike in inflation will be transitory, or that the FOMC’s tolerance for an inflation overshoot is waning.

  3. Bertrand Lefebvre:

    This discovery is of particular importance, because it brings to an end a 150-year-old debate about the position of these bizarre-looking fossils in the tree of life.

  4. Francesca Lagerberg:

    Despite considerable efforts by governments and campaigners across the world’s best-developed economies to ensure best practice they continue to lag behind emerging markets in (the diversity) area, this poor performance seems to be at least partly a result of entrenched societal norms. In the UK and US in particular, there are still plentiful examples of a ‘command and control’ approach to leadership which is not necessarily attractive to women.

  5. Angie Thompson:

    We have neighbors that have lost their entire home, one person in particular lost everything, and every time they’d get it under control, something else would happen, and the water would reroute and come back right through the family’s home.
