Question: Ms. Clyne used facsimiles of what possession of Emily Dickinson as inspiration?

Ms. Clyne is at work on a chamber opera about the poet Emily Dickinson, parts of which will be performed at Miller by the Ensemble Signal under the direction of Brad Lubman. This time, Ms. Clyne used facsimiles of letters by Dickinson to jump-start the creative process, projecting her handwriting onto a wall and retracing the magnified letters with an indelible marker. The end product — fastidiously constructed compositions that typically carry a potent emotional charge — bears no traces of these playful beginnings, although Ms. Wolfe remembers Ms. Clyne turning in scores that were beautifully lettered and bound by hand. But there is a distinct sense of shape and momentum to her music that grows out of a creative process rooted in image and movement.

Question: How many semesters of university did Alyssa Grogan miss after her concussion?

Head injuries can also occur through unintended collisions, which were the leading cause of concussions in the I.I.H.F. study. During a practice drill in 2010, Minnesota goalie Alyssa Grogan dived for a poke check, and a player fell and kneed her in the forehead while another landed on the back of her head. It was her first concussion, but she was forced to retire and missed three semesters at the university. Even after multiple concussions, leaving the game can be difficult. Despite new professional opportunities, options are limited after college. Participation in the Olympics can lead to thousands of dollars in performance bonuses. Some players hide symptoms to prolong their careers.

Question: Into what continent are migrants flowing into?

As for the security threats posed by migrants: This question regularly comes up in public meetings and has been raised by anti-immigrant parties on the right. So far, whenever I have asked officials that question, they seemed pretty sanguine. They say that there are easier ways for terrorists to infiltrate European countries than to tag along with migrants on a difficult and dangerous journey. Still, some people find it striking that thousands of people have entered Europe with hardly any screening.

Question: Who was battling insurgents?

BEIRUT, Lebanon — Scores of Syrian government soldiers and civilians besieged by insurgents for nearly a month in a hospital in northern Syria fled on Friday in a dramatic exit that both the army and its opponents promptly claimed as a victory. Videos posted by each side showed lines of uniformed soldiers trotting away across a field as what sounded like rifle and artillery fire echoed in the background; the government claimed that they reached safety, while insurgents claimed that many were killed or captured.

Question: What is the name for sideways jumps with each foot circling?

The dancing is equally layered. When the six fairy godmothers arrive, there are passages in which they, their eight attendants and four of their cavaliers are all dancing at once, like three orchestral groups in harmony. (Two of the cavaliers don’t dance, so we also see how Petipa the classicist played number games with these choreographic groups of eight, six, four and two.) In Act I, when Princess Aurora’s maids of honor are dancing center stage, the eight violin pages, on the sides of the stage, are doing gargouillades — twinkling sideways jumps in which each foot writes a circle in the air.

Question: What is the name of the character who does not say anything at the house?

One of the strengths of the pacing is that for the first half of the book, the allies and villains are not completely distinguishable. The wasp queen calms Steve in a genuine way. Somebody else, whom the family calls Mr. Nobody, keeps calling the house and not saying anything. Despite my hunches, I found myself deliciously unsure whom to side with for a number of pages. In large part, this is due to the allure of Oppel’s imagery, which is striking and scary at once: A dissected wasp with nothing inside it. A knife grinder who drives slowly around the streets but has no customers. A toy phone answered with glee by Steve’s little sister. Occasional illustrations by the wonderful Jon Klassen, dark and secretive, only add to the mood.

Question: What do these republican measures require in order to be implemented?

The state House is again pushing forward with a Republican priority to require photo identification at the polls, after similar measures were stymied by the Senate or courts in recent years. The House gave initial approval Wednesday to put a constitutional amendment before voters in 2016 and also endorsed a bill that would institute the photo ID requirements if the constitutional amendment is approved. Both measures need a second House vote and also would have to pass the Senate, where Democrats have previously blocked proposed ID requirements. Supporters say the requirement is needed to ensure the integrity of elections. Democrats say it could make it harder for older people, minorities and women to vote, because they might have more difficulty getting the underlying documents such as birth certificates or marriage licenses that are needed to obtain an ID.

Question: Who was the Buddha before becoming Siddhartha?

In his life as Vessantara, the Buddha earned his karmic wings and was reborn just one last time as another prince, Siddhartha. For some years, Siddhartha lived a bubble-baby existence. But news of reality, cold and harsh, seeped in. He knew he had to face it, and one night he left home for good, his horse carried aloft by gods so its hoof beats wouldn’t be heard. Then finally, after years of self-searching, he arrived at a letting-go enlightenment, though not before certain celestial no-goodniks tried to block his way. We see two of them, potbellied, green of skin, weapons drawn, clomping across a glazed 15th-century temple tile.

Question: What's the other one?

One is the “familiar and experimental” outline of the scope and requirements of the project, Dr. Lam said. The other is a bit more unusual: “A parallel green paper that guides the study and helps explore the application guidelines.” In short: How can the study be done ethically, and how can the finding be used ethically?

They start by reviewing dystopian futures as described in science fiction. “You know all of that stuff?” they ask. “It’s much worse.”

Question: How long have stock been on their sharp drop path?

Here’s how to make sense of what is a truly global story, stretching from the streets of Shanghai, where stock investing has become a middle-class sport in recent years, to the oil fields of both the Middle East and Middle America, to the hallways of power in the Federal Reserve in Washington. The immediate cause of the outburst of global volatility was China, where the sharp drop in stocks on Monday continued a rout that has been underway — with periodic pauses because of government interventions — all summer.

Answer: all summer

Question: What have states moved to do?

Where Congress has faltered, the states have moved to tighten safety aspects of gun ownership. For instance, 10 states have made it harder for people with domestic violence convictions to obtain weapons. Court records show that the gunman in Louisiana had a history of mental illness and had once been the subject of a protective order in Carroll County, Ga., which may have been detected with a stronger mental health reporting systems. That too is the subject of legislation languishing in Congress.

Question: Who announced the sanctions against North Korea?

The United States expanded sanctions targeting North Korea on Tuesday, imposing economic penalties on six of its international banking representatives and three of its shipping companies for what the Treasury Department called ties to illicit arms proliferation and financing. The sanctions, announced by the Office of Foreign Assets Control, bars them from dealings with the United States and impounds any assets in American jurisdiction. It was the second time in four weeks that the Treasury had imposed sanctions on North Korea, reflecting concerns about its efforts to improve its nuclear weapons and missile capabilities despite United Nations prohibitions.

Question: What does Mr. Elder think of Westbrook?

Though “The Starters’ “ television audience is growing, Mr. Elder and Mr. Melas, with the show’s other personalities, Trey Kerby and Leigh Ellis, have not abandoned podcasting. This season they introduced “The Drop,” a weekly, podcast-only show that is downloaded 70 percent more frequently on average than the podcast of the daily “The Starters” television show, according to the network. Last week’s episode featured references to Katy Perry’s Super Bowl halftime show and a discussion of some of the more handsome N.B.A. stars. “The Starters” TV show has tried to incorporate the lighter elements of “The Basketball Jones” podcast in a way that recreates the spontaneity of its hosts’ old material. On their show last Thursday, in a segment called “Meme Team,” the hosts counted down some of the goofiest moments from the N.B.A. that week. Number one on the countdown was Westbrook’s reaction to being stiffed on a high five by a teammate. In the video, he turned around sharply and glared at the offending player. “That screams cat to me,” Mr. Elder said. “Case closed, right? He’s more like a cat.”

Answer: He’s more like a cat.”

Question: Who has the eighth highest likelihood of a crash?

The metric is not a perfect measurement of danger. (The agency cautions that it does not take into account other factors, like local topography and traffic congestion.) But the 10 crossings, four in New Jersey and six on Long Island, examined by The Times are easily among the most hazardous in the country. Out of almost 130,000 public crossings in the nation, only 112 others have accident-prediction values as high as these 10. The Midland Avenue crossing currently has the eighth highest likelihood of a crash in the country.

Question: What religious denomination does Mr. Carson follow?

Bob Vander Plaats, the president and chief executive of the Family Leader, a social conservative group in Iowa, said his members had not yet expressed concern about Mr. Carson’s religion. He cited the support that Mr. Romney received from evangelicals in 2012, saying he did not think the fact that Mr. Carson is a Seventh-day Adventist would be an issue unless theology became central to the political debate. “I think Trump threw out the fleece to let people check it out,” Mr. Vander Plaats said of why he thought Mr. Carson’s religion suddenly became an issue. “People of faith will be more interested in the fruit of leadership, policy and does it align with honoring God or dishonoring God.”

Question: Name a country that has diamond mines?

Estimates that diamond production will peak by the end of the decade, pushing prices higher, have their supporters and their critics. Most of the world’s diamonds come from a relative handful of mines in Africa, Canada, Russia and a few other places. Alrosa, a Russian diamond producer, has become the largest by volume, though De Beers remains the leader in dollar terms. Mr. Jens of ABN Amro said that he doubted predictions of a looming diamond shortage. New mines may be found, he said, and man-made diamonds — which are becoming increasingly difficult to distinguish from diamonds dug from the earth — could satisfy some market demand.

Question: How many awards did the musical win

Oh cruel fate. You make a musical about two struggling playwrights who are always outshined by Shakespeare; the musical is nominated for 10 Tony Awards, and the only one it wins is for the guy who plays Shakespeare. The cheeky creators of “Something Rotten!” had been hoping for a different outcome. But licking their wounds was not going to help them bounce back, so, instead, they have embraced an unorthodox post-Tonys marketing strategy: calling attention to their plight. On Facebook, Twitter and in a full-page ad in The New York Times on Sunday, the show is trumpeting its status as “Loser!” in the best-musical race. The campaign notes that the show is not alone: a string of successful shows, from “West Side Story” to “Wicked,” had in previous years been passed over for best musical. “You’re always hoping that you’re going to win, but if you don’t, you have to think about how to position your show,” said Kevin McCollum, the lead producer of “Rotten!” “Very few shows have the confidence to go with the headline ‘Loser!,’ but it illustrates that we’re confident enough to acknowledge our loss and celebrate those that came before us.”

Question: Who did Michelle Obama impress at the dinner?

Friday night may have been a watershed for Michelle Obama. At the White House dinner for the Chinese president, Xi Jinping, the first lady summoned previously untapped, and perhaps unsuspected, reserves of glamour. Her long side-swept hair and black off-the-shoulder gown by the Chinese-American designer Vera Wang revealed an acute political savvy that was more than mere words could convey. Had Flotus gone Hollywood? Not quite. But her red-carpet-worthy turnout, evocative of Beyoncé at the top of her form, seemed especially well timed, inciting, predictably, an outpouring of mostly upbeat social commentary that eclipsed the event and all but engulfed the web.

Question: In what inning did Clint Robinson hit a double?

WASHINGTON — Three months ago, Matt Harvey strutted around the Nationals’ mound here during one of the most important starts of his young career, his first since having Tommy John surgery. He fired fastballs at will, snapped his slider like a whip, struck out Bryce Harper three times and announced to the baseball world that he was back. During his start here Monday, the lasting image of Harvey was him turning, his hands out, watching as a Clint Robinson double ricocheted high off the center-field wall in the third inning. Harvey’s command looked off, and this time the Nationals did not look intimidated. Harvey often walked off the mound in conversation with catcher Anthony Recker, searching for answers. The Mets had aligned their starters after the All-Star break with this series in mind. They wanted to line up Harvey, Jacob deGrom and Noah Syndergaard, their three best starters, to make a run at the Nationals, the National League East leaders. Harvey lost the first game, 7-2, in humbling and conflicting fashion. He allowed five early runs and issued four walks, yet he lasted seven innings and even drove in two runs. Harvey was not at his best, but his offense and his defense repeatedly failed him.

Question: What is the second incarnation of the Liberal Arts and Sciences test called?

A federal judge on Friday found that an exam for New York teaching candidates was racially discriminatory because it did not measure skills necessary to do the job, the latest step in a court battle over teacher qualifications that has spanned nearly 20 years. The exam, the second incarnation of the Liberal Arts and Sciences Test, called the LAST-2, was administered from 2004 through 2012 and was designed to test an applicant’s knowledge of liberal arts and science. But the test was found to fail minority teaching candidates at a higher rate than white candidates. According to Friday’s decision, written by Judge Kimba M. Wood of Federal District Court in Manhattan, the pass rate for African-American and Latino candidates was between 54 percent and 75 percent of the pass rate for white candidates. Once it was established that minority applicants were failing at a disproportionately high rate, the burden shifted to education officials to prove that the skills being tested were necessary to do the job; otherwise, the test would be ruled discriminatory. In creating the test, the company, National Evaluation Systems, sent surveys to educators around New York State to determine if the test’s “content objectives” were relevant and important to teaching. The samples for both surveys were small, however, Judge Wood said. The judge found that National Evaluation Systems, now called Evaluation Systems, part of Pearson Education, went about the process backward.

Question: What month did this take place?

But if that all sounds familiar to contemporary racing enthusiasts, there were other aspects of that mid-20th-century race that were quite different. The track was only about 10 meters, or 35 feet, across; the pits on the main straight were part of the track itself, not separated by a pitlane; and, facing the pits, the spectators sat on benches and bleachers, and some even made their own viewing perches, standing on trestle tables they had set up trackside. It was a hodgepodge, a ragged mass of humanity grouped along and over the edge of the track, with only bales of straw and a mound of earth separating them from the racing cars traveling at top speeds of 300 kilometers, or 185 miles, an hour. Given those conditions, a disaster could have been in the making on that June day should anything go wrong.

Question: What position did the Lawyer hold in the US Government?

Solicitor General Donald B. Verrilli Jr., the Obama administration’s top appellate lawyer, who urged the justices to strike down the law, began his argument with a vivid image.

Windsor, Justice Anthony M. Kennedy bristled at the unfairness of prohibiting same-sex couples “from being buried together in veterans’ cemeteries.”

Solicitor General Donald B. Verrilli Jr., the <hl> Obama administration’s top appellate lawyer <hl> , who urged the justices to strike down the law, began his argument with a vivid image.


Question: Andrew how was the winner of the Silver medal in what year?

The Italian Olympic Committee requested two-year doping bans for 26 track and field athletes — several of whom were expected to compete at next year’s Rio de Janeiro Games. The list includes Fabrizio Donato, the bronze medalist in triple jump at the 2012 London Olympics, and Andrew Howe, the silver medalist in long jump at the 2007 world championships. All 26 are accused of evading doping tests, but they maintain there was an administrative error. They will face trials at the committee’s antidoping court, with decisions expected sometime next year. Five of the 26 had already qualified for the Rio Games; about 10 have retired.

Question: Who did Manning say took the higher road?

“He cried a little bit,” Manning said. “I didn’t think that was really necessary. I think Odell took the higher road, and I’m proud of him for that.” Manning later did a little trash talking, although in his typically subtle way. He credited Beckham for regaining his composure later in the game, and then Manning mentioned that the Panthers were in a zone defense for almost the entire game — except for when Beckham caught a fourth-quarter touchdown pass. “It was probably the only time Norman played Odell man-to-man, and Odell beat him.”

Question: Who is Mike Venable?

This type of arrangement can potentially cut buyers’ individual expenses, while providing them with a potential equity gain and a mortgage interest tax deduction. But these ventures can also end badly if buyers assume that friendship alone will see them through any future difficulty. Before applying for a mortgage, the co-borrowers should fully reveal their income, debt and credit status to each other, said Mike Venable, a senior vice president and head of underwriting for retail bank operations at TD Bank. “It definitely needs to be someone you really trust,” he said.

Question: Movie theaters charge adults more than who?

The third force at work is what economists call price discrimination. Businesses of all sorts have an incentive to charge different prices to different consumers based on their willingness and ability to pay. Movie theaters, for example, charge children less than adults for a ticket. Colleges have increasingly followed this practice by raising published prices and offering more financial aid based on a family’s resources. I often joke that Harvard should complete the process by setting tuition at $1 billion a year. But that sticker price applies only to the children of Bill Gates. Everyone else gets a special price, just for you.

Question: Where did this image come from?

If his significance is primarily art historical, that of the second figure is, potentially at least, more personal. This one, from the collection of the Bagan Archaeological Museum, is larger, older — from the 11th century — and carved from sandstone. Also a seated Buddha, it has in recent years gained a popular religious following as the perceived prototype of an ardently worshiped image at a local shrine. At Asia Society, to my eye, the piece looks only mildly charismatic. Years ago, someone scoured away all traces of the paint that once brightened the figure. And the sandstone surface, which can be so sensuous, looks over-cleaned, sandblasted, dead. But pilgrim-visitors to the Bagan Museum don’t care about any of this. Belief supplies color, texture, life. In the museum, they bow and pray. Religious art, no matter where you find it in a lot of the world, works that way.

Question: What does Mr. Sacca think about the fact that upper management and boards of Silicon Valley companies are primarily white?

Asked whether the mostly male culture of Silicon Valley is likely to change, Mr. Sacca, one of Twitter’s major investors, said, “It’s changing, slowly. The numbers are really clear. Companies are almost entirely run by white guys. The boards are almost entirely white guys.” And yet, he said: “Look at the user base of Twitter. You have black users overindexed to Twitter, and yet we don’t have any representation of that audience in the upper management or the board of that company, and that’s just weird. We’re guiding things for an audience we can’t address.”

Question: Who did fans wait for long periods of time to see?

For fans of a certain kind of animation, Monty Oum was the Wizard — and the King, the Knight and the Pawn, all rolled into one. Millions of people watched his web series “Red vs. Blue” and “RWBY.” At conventions, thousands of fans, sometimes dolled up in the outfits of fantasy characters he created, waited for hours just to meet him. Even in a scene known for its colorful personalities, Mr. Oum stood out. Clad in often over-the-top anime-style costumes — platinum wigs, rubber vests — with an unabashed energy and a robust work ethic, he served as an inspiration to audiences weaned on a D.I.Y. techno-culture.

Question: which story featured puppets?

Mr. Chávez wove the tunes of folk songs like “La Cucaracha” through a modernist idiom in a work for solo piano, and altered a traditional song chromatically in his Sonatina for Violin and Piano. His “Cuatro Melodías Tradicionales Indias del Ecuador” was beautifully sung by the soprano Cecilia Violetta López, whose bright, expressive voice made a strong impression in several works, including de Falla’s “El Retablo de Maese Pedro.” The resetting of part of Don Quixote de la Mancha’s story concluded the final program in a charming production featuring puppets and witty visuals designed by Doug Fitch.

Question: What day of the week did LA pass these rules?

Thousands of older wood and concrete apartment buildings vulnerable to collapse in a major earthquake would get costly upgrades under rules passed Friday by the Los Angeles City Council. The mandate would affect as many as 13,500 so-called soft-first-story buildings, typically wood-frame structures. As many as 1,500 brittle concrete buildings would also require upgrades. City leaders will have to agree on how the estimated $5,000-per-unit retrofitting would be split between tenants and landlords. The law currently allows owners to increase rents up to $75 per month for a required earthquake retrofit, but both sides say such an increase is too steep. Apartment groups are looking for certain financial support, such as breaks on property and state income taxes.

Question: What type of college is Gordon College?

Such tiptoeing around donors opposed to funding any L.G.B.T. programs is becoming less common, Mr. Henry says. Andrew Watt, president of the Association of Fundraising Professionals, also says he believes that any hesitation to court the L.G.B.T. community as a source of donations, for fear of negative reactions or unwelcome perceptions, is vanishing. “I think we’ve gotten to the point that it’s ceasing to be an issue,” he says. But it most certainly was an issue for Gordon College, a multidenominational Christian liberal arts college in Wenham, Mass. Like the Girl Scouts, the college said it was acting in accordance with its core beliefs when, in July 2014, the college’s president, D. Michael Lindsay, along with 13 other evangelical and Roman Catholic leaders, signed a letter to the White House, asking for a religious exemption from a planned order barring federal contractors from discriminating in hiring on the basis of sexual orientation. The on-campus reaction was anger: A petition signed by 3,000 students, faculty and alumni was reportedly sent to Mr. Lindsay, protesting his request for the exemption and accusing him of discrimination. There was other fallout. The mayor of nearby Salem canceled the school’s contract to manage its Old Town Hall, an early 19th-century building now used as an event space and theater.

Question: What number marriage is this for Mr. Chow?

“It’s not like I get impressed once, and I’m over it, and I need something new,” she said. “I love this teacup. It impresses me. When I love something, whether things or people, I love them very deeply.” She is the third Mrs. Chow. (Or maybe even the fourth; some magazine profiles over the years have indicated that Mr. Chow was briefly married in the 1960s. Asked to clarify, he responded: “I’m not a family lawyer, nor an accountant. I don’t think it’s relevant.”) She was preceded by the model Tina Chow, who died in 1992; and, before that, Grace Coddington, who is now the creative director at Vogue.
