Question: Who did Ms. Mizrahi-Rubel collaborate with during her career?

Ms. Mizrahi-Rubel, 51, who is based in Paris, was trained in working with diamonds and precious colored stones by her grandfather, the well-known diamond specialist Marcel Rubel. Her 20-year career has been built on collaborations with such top French jewelers as Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels and Boucheron. She also has worked at Fred and Mauboussin. Three years ago, she opened an old trunk in the attic of a family country house to rediscover the forgotten archives of her great uncles, John and Robert Rubel. She said the hundreds of drawings, gouaches, patents and even scale models of their designs revealed the unusual style and originality of their Art Deco creations.

Question: What is the name of the chief who directed the waterborne response?

But as flames engulfed a waterfront warehouse stuffed with old court papers and medical records in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, this weekend, there they were: two fireboats pouring frigid water from the East River onto the inferno. The larger of the vessels, a 140-foot boat known as the Firefighter II, also used its main cannon as a water-powered battering ram. The impact of 17,000 gallons of water a minute was used to collapse walls, exposing the flames inside the warehouse. “Without that force, we wouldn’t have been able to hit any of the fire,” said Rick Ferro, the chief who directed the waterborne response. It was the first time the state-of-the-art boat, added to the fleet about four years ago, had put water on an actual fire.

Question: What were the nuns at the Catholic school said to be grooming the students for?

Watching the nation come to a screeching halt over Pope Francis’ visit, I had a flashback to my childhood in Cincinnati. One day I saw a picture of then-Pope Pius XII on the front page of the evening paper and I was shocked — Shocked! I had no idea that anybody in Ohio outside my immediate neighborhood knew who he was. In our Catholic school, the nuns stressed our isolation, and they kept prepping us to be ready to die for our faith at any moment. Like St. Ursula, who was on a pilgrimage with 11,000 virgins, all of whom instantly chose martyrdom rather than surrender their purity to infidel Huns. (At the time, I just knew virgins were women who hadn’t married, and I had a vision of throngs of young ladies being pursued by barbarians waving engagement rings.)

Question: Who endorsed the need for action in East Ramapo?

Nothing could be further from the truth. The legislation is not about punishing one group because of its religious beliefs; it is about acting to make sure that the civil rights of a community of overwhelmingly low-income minority children are not denied and that their constitutional right to a sound basic education is enforced. Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo has endorsed the need for action in East Ramapo. Lawmakers should join him, reject the false attacks and act in the interests of the students, who have been failed terribly and must not be made to wait any longer.

Question: Nowadays, what follows the welcome party?

Today, Ms. Post said, “Websites and magazines portray a far more accurate, more realistic reflection of what’s expected from us behaviorally at a wedding, and therefore people are acting better.

Question: Who wrote "Steve Jobs" ?

★ ‘Steve Jobs’ (R, 2:02) This three-panel portrait of the Apple co-founder, written by Aaron Sorkin and directed by Danny Boyle, portrays Jobs (Michael Fassbender) as a complicated, ambitious man caught in a tangle of messy personal and business relationships. Isolating Jobs at three crucial moments in his career, the film plays like a fast, busy backstage comedy and ends up being a richly intelligent exploration of our ambivalence about technology, genius and consumer capitalism. (Scott) ‘Suffragette’ (PG-13, 1:47) Carey Mulligan plays Maud Watts, a laundry worker in London in 1912 who becomes a militant supporter of women’s voting rights. In telling her story, Sarah Gavron (the director) and Abi Morgan (who wrote the screenplay) hit a few soft and sentimental notes, but they also explore the vital and still relevant connection between feminism and class consciousness in modern democratic politics. (Scott) ‘Tamasha’ (No rating, 2:35, in Hindi) Imtiaz Ali’s Bollywood melodrama begins as an agreeable romance between a vacationing young man (Ranbir Kapoor) and woman (a charismatic but largely squandered Deepika Padukone); morphs into a professional identity crisis for the man; and concludes as a lavish self-serving ode by the director to his own calling. (Webster)

Question: How do museum labels describe Ralph Naders showcased disputes?

The displays, despite large cartoonish illustrations, require close reading, and many are accompanied by thought-provoking questions about the gray areas in liability. Still, this is Ralph Nader, and educational does not mean nonpolitical. Though the language is not shrill, a common element in the showcased disputes is what the museum’s labels describe as strenuous efforts by companies to deceive the public about risks. Pointedly included is the case that became a symbol to some of consumer overreach and trial lawyer greed: the 1992 suit by a 79-year-old woman who was badly burned in the groin and thighs when she spilled a cup of scalding McDonald’s coffee.

Question: In New York, who descended for the auto show?

AUTOMAKERS descended on New York for the city’s annual auto show this week with vehicles ready to do more than just respond to drivers’ commands. However, the question of whether drivers want their cars to take charge remained unanswered. The path to fully autonomous driving will still take years to reach consumers, but car manufacturers demonstrated this week that they are now able to offer buyers several levels of so-called active safety features — in which the car takes over driving in certain instances. And they plan to introduce even more advanced semiautonomous capabilities in the coming months. Tesla Motors made a splash when it recently announced plans to add automated highway driving features, which it calls autopilot, to its Model S sedans by the summer. But such capabilities are coming to a range of vehicles sooner than many realize.

Question: How many people died in clashes with the police on the anniversary last year?

Ms. Sabbagh was walking in a small group of fellow party members on Saturday with a wreath of flowers to lay in Tahrir Square to honor demonstrators killed there during previous protests, according to a witness account and a video recording of the scene. When her group took up the Arab Spring chant for “bread, freedom and social justice,” a contingent of masked riot police officers as numerous as the marchers “fired bullets and gas within minutes,” according to a testimonial posted on Facebook by Azza Soliman, a prominent human rights lawyer who was nearby at the time. In the video, the police officers are seen firing guns from across a narrow street. A friend, crouching down, grabs Ms. Sabbagh around the waist as she stands upright with blood running down her face. Then he is seen hurriedly carrying her away while the gunfire continues. A forensic report said birdshot fired at close range had pierced her lung and heart, according to news reports. The deaths on the anniversary of the revolt were predictable, rights activists say, because the swift use of firearms has become de facto police policy toward any unauthorized public assembly, especially in downtown Cairo. On the anniversary last year, more than 50 people died in clashes with the police.

Question: What happenes when the parietal eye of a trunk-crown lizard is totally blocked?

Then the researchers created caps with pieces of Ping-Pong ball, and attached them with surgical glue and cork as a cushion, to the heads of the anoles to interfere with polarized light that might reach an organ in the brain called the parietal eye. Some research has shown that lizards can detect polarized light with that organ, not with their regular eyes. The team didn’t just block all light to the parietal eye, because it controls the daily rhythms of the lizard. Block it completely, Dr. Leal said, and “after a day they just stop moving.” They are normally quiet at night. If it is always night for them, they stay quiet. And how did the lizards do with the Ping-Pong ball hats? They came back. Same percentage. Same time period.

Question: Who is going to act as transportation commissioner when Mr. Fox departs?

Instead, the statement said that Mr. Fox would “make his anticipated transition back to the private sector by the end of the month.” Mr. Christie said that Joseph Bertoni, the department’s deputy commissioner, would take over as acting commissioner. In a statement, Mr. Fox suggested the move was related to his inability to secure funding for the state’s transportation fund. He said that serving as transportation commissioner twice had been “the best job I have ever had.” He did not mention the federal investigation.

Question: Where is SGS based?

Color Play Asia said on its Facebook page that its products were in line with standards set by SGS, which is a Geneva-based testing, inspection and verification company. No one from SGS was immediately available to comment on whether Color Play Asia’s products had received certification and whether that process also included tests for flammability. On Sunday, Color Play Asia’s Facebook page was filled with comments expressing outrage that the event could have so quickly turned into an inferno. “The organizers just know about money, they don’t know about the dangers,” wrote someone going by the name of Kalin Chang. “I hope you give a reasonable explanation to all the families who have been hurt by this,” another person said.

Question: How many deaths occurred after protesters attacked officers in Jaleswor?

The police opened fire after ethnic Madhesi protesters tried to set fire to government buildings, said Dipak Kaphle, a top functionary in the district of Mahottari, southeast of Kathmandu. A police official, Saurav Rana, said three of the deaths occurred in the town of Jaleswor after thousands of protesters with sticks and stones attacked officers, according to news agency reports. Since Aug. 10, 34 people have died in protests, including 10 police officials and a 2-year-old child, according to Nepal’s Ministry of Home Affairs. The Madhesis oppose the way provinces are being demarcated in the draft constitution and hope for new boundaries that will allow them to form majorities in two provinces. Another ethnic group, the Tharus, are pushing for their own province. Schools, markets and workplaces have been closed for nearly a month amid a general strike in much of the region. The country’s three major parties and Prime Minister Sushil Koirala have vowed to proceed with drafting the new constitution.

Question: Why are Americans consuming less calories?

Here’s one for sports fans that our contributor Brendan Nyhan found: a scholarly article with lovely graphics on the structure of basketball defense. This is what the paper said (but don’t let that dissuade you from looking at it): This paper attempts to fill this void, combining spatial and spatio-temporal processes, matrix factorization techniques and hierarchical regression models with player tracking data to advance the state of defensive analytics in the NBA. Margot Sanger-Katz has written a lot on the news that Americans are consuming fewer calories; it’s mainly because they are drinking fewer sugary carbonated beverages. She found these maps of New York City showing where soda is most frequently consumed. The maps also display a host of other economic and sociological factors. Aaron Carroll, who has been writing about a host of nutrition myths for The Upshot, passed on this graphic about the risks of consuming meat.

Answer: because they are drinking fewer sugary carbonated beverages.

Question: What sport does Kyrgios play?

“These kids, they’ve got to get under control,” Harrison said. “They’re going to get hurt.” Harrison added that he believed Kokkinakis and Kyrgios were hiding behind tennis’s genteel code of conduct. “If he wants to get into it, I will bury him,” Harrison said. “Wawrinka should’ve decked Kyrgios, and I should deck that kid.” Kokkinakis, however, distanced himself from Kyrgios, and said it was unfair to conflate the two. “I let him know — I made it pretty clear that he can’t be doing that,” Kokkinakis said of Kyrgios’s insult. “If he’s got a problem, he’s got to say it in private. The way he went about it definitely wasn’t the right thing.” The elder statesmen of the tour have been similarly indignant. “Obviously it’s the talk of the locker room, and everybody has their opinion,” Roger Federer said. “But I think that we all agree that he definitely crossed the line by a long shot. We’re not used to that kind of talk in tennis.” Federer suggested he might support further punishment for Kyrgios. “A fine is one thing; we’ll see if there’s going to be more coming,” Federer said. “I haven’t heard anything, but clearly it was very disappointing and not great for the sport, one that I think many players have tried to build up and make it a good image. We want kids to be wanting to get into this sport, I guess, because it’s a nice sport, it’s clean, it’s fair, and all these things. I don’t think there should be any room for that kind of talk.”

Question: What feature of the train track would have prevented the incident in Spain?

Such a system could have helped prevent the fiery crash of a high-speed train in 2013 near Santiago de Compostela, Spain. The wreck killed 79 people when the train roared through a curve at 120 miles per hour, twice the posted speed limit, and derailed. Like the Amtrak derailment in Philadelphia, which killed eight and injured more than 200, the accident in Spain occurred on a section of track that was fitted with a speed-alert system but had not yet been upgraded with an automatic braking system. “We still live in the shadow of the accident in Spain,” said Christopher Carr, the director of safety at the European Railway Agency, which monitors and sets train safety standards.

Question: What did Mario Diaz-Balart indicate was fully funded by the Republican measure?

Amtrak was created in 1971 to bring together struggling rail lines, and officials have pushed for it to become financially self-sufficient so that it no longer needs federal subsidies. That never happened. The Northeast Corridor routes, including the high-speed Acela line, make money, but not enough to cover its upkeep and make up for losses on less popular, long-haul routes in rural parts of the country that politicians from those areas have fought to keep. While President Obama is calling for $2.45 billion for Amtrak next year — about $1 billion more than the current year’s subsidy — Republicans in the House passed a bill in June to reduce spending on Amtrak by about $250 million. On Friday, Representative Mario Diaz-Balart, a Republican from Miami and chairman of a House subcommittee on transportation, said Amtrak’s operations were vital, especially along the Northeast Corridor. He said the House measure fully funded Amtrak’s safety and operational needs, although it would trim capital grants and other funding. Mr. Diaz-Balart argued that Amtrak had a “slew of internal financial issues that no level of congressional funding can fix.”

Question: What did Kenneth Rexroth say was perhaps the best ever book by an American?

Over lunch, Mr. Shoemaker said that he first heard of Mr. Connell while listening to the KPFA radio show hosted by the poet Kenneth Rexroth. “He had his growly, gravelly voice,” Mr. Shoemaker said, “and he said, ‘I’ve just finished reading the best book by an American perhaps ever. “Notes From a Beach Found at Carmel” — whatever you do, get a copy, read it, get it, this is one of the great books ever.’ Rexroth had that kind of power.” So Mr. Shoemaker read that book, in 1962. Around the same time, he met Mr. Connell at the No Name, where Mr. Shoemaker had first gone with the Beat poet Lew Welch, whose work he had published. Mr. Welch was dating a local woman named Magda Cregg. “She had a son,” Mr. Shoemaker said, “who became known as Huey Lewis — he chose Lewis because he loved Lew Welch. Lewie always told me that he taught Huey Lewis how to sing.” “Sausalito had the Tides,” Mr. Shoemaker said, “which was a very famous bookstore at the time. It was owned by a couple of people who were friends of Evan’s, a couple of doors beyond No Name. And those guys, the owners, bought the Washington Square Bar and Grill, otherwise known as the Washbag, which was one of the famous North Beach literary bars, famous for their softball team — Herb Caen played, and Claes Oldenburg made them a bat.”

Question: What country is the base for an energy revolution?

Pope Francis is a wonderful example of how to be a truly good person.

Question: For what crime was imprisoned Samuel Harrell?

On the evening of April 21 in Building 21 at the Fishkill Correctional Facility, Samuel Harrell, an inmate with a history of erratic behavior linked to bipolar disorder, packed his bags and announced he was going home, though he still had several years left to serve on his drug sentence. Not long after, he got into a confrontation with corrections officers, was thrown to the floor and was handcuffed. As many as 20 officers — including members of a group known around the prison as the Beat Up Squad — repeatedly kicked and punched Mr. Harrell, who is black, with some of them shouting racial slurs, according to more than a dozen inmate witnesses. “Like he was a trampoline, they were jumping on him,” said Edwin Pearson, an inmate who watched from a nearby bathroom. Mr. Harrell was then thrown or dragged down a staircase, according to the inmates’ accounts. One inmate reported seeing him lying on the landing, “bent in an impossible position.”

Mr. Harrell was then thrown or dragged down a staircase, according to the inmates’ accounts. One inmate reported seeing him lying on the landing, “bent in an impossible position.”

Question: What attribute did Syndergaard use against the Dodgers?

Syndergaard appeared confident and collected early on. He struck out Jimmy Rollins twice — once swinging, on a 97-mile-per-hour fastball, and then looking, on a 99-m.p.h. fastball. He struck out Joc Pederson, another touted rookie, leaving him flailing at a curveball. He showed improved confidence in his off-speed pitches, using the Dodgers’ aggressiveness against them.

Question: How many appeals for State Department correspondence has Citizens United made?

Reports of Mrs. Clinton’s use of only a private email account while she was secretary of state, meanwhile, have cast a new light on efforts by outside groups to obtain access to her correspondence with the Clinton Foundation during her tenure at the State Department — about donations or anything else. That correspondence, if it exists, would most likely have taken place on Mrs. Clinton’s private email address, putting its accessibility — to journalists, scholars or political adversaries — in doubt. Already, Citizens United, a conservative advocacy group, has made 16 appeals under the Freedom of Information Act for State Department correspondence mostly related to Mrs. Clinton and foundation donors.

Question: In what year is the play from?

But this 40-minute play from 1921, seldom seen or read outside academia, has an exhilarating air of discovery that finds the fun — and the sense — in her seeming nonsense. Its full title, “Reread Another A Play to Be Played Indoors or Out I Wish to Be a School,” offers an accurate idea of what to expect. Staged by the Target Margin artistic director David Herskovits, a man celebrated for bringing cobwebbed theatrical arcana into the light, it is performed with tripping grace by Clare Barron, Purva Bedi and Ugo Chukwu (and a participatory sound man, Jesse Freedman), who wear kimonos and sailor stripes, suggesting extras from some hybrid Gilbert & Sullivan operetta. Using kitschy objects like white plastic globes and shiny party hats as visual aids, they speak in cryptic fragments of mountains and men and mothers and colorblind house painters.

Question: Michael Palladino is president of what police officers union?

Matthew L. Wing, a spokesman for Uber, a ride-hailing service, said, “The behavior in the video is wrong and unacceptable, and we appreciate the N.Y.P.D. investigating the incident.” Michael J. Palladino, the president of the Detectives’ Endowment Association, the union for city police detectives, defended the detective, saying “cops are just like everyone else” with complicated lives. “Detective Cherry is a person of good character and an excellent detective,” he said. “He really should not be judged by one isolated incident.” In the video footage, apparently from an encounter in the West Village, Detective Cherry can be seen berating the driver, Humayun Chaudhry, while standing at the driver’s door.

Question: Clarkson has been accused of demeaning Indians, Asians, and what other specific group?

Last year, the crew fled Argentina after being attacked by local residents during the filming of an episode in which Mr. Clarkson drove a Porsche sports car with the license plate H982 FKL, which some took as a reference to the British victory over Argentina in the 1982 Falklands War. Mr. Clarkson and his team insisted — with a wink — that they had no idea what the license plate meant. But most observers saw it as a typical Clarkson ploy to seem both naughty and patriotic. In May 2014, in film not intended for broadcast, Mr. Clarkson seemed to use a racist term while reciting the “eeny, meeny, miney, moe” rhyme. He denied uttering an offensive word but acknowledged “that it sounds like I did.” He has also been accused of racist comments aimed at Indians, Mexicans and Asians.

Question: Which newspaper investigated the incident?

For days after the June prison break, corrections officers carried out what seemed like a campaign of retribution against dozens of Clinton inmates, particularly those on the honor block, an investigation by The New York Times found. In letters reviewed by The Times, as well as prison interviews, inmates described a strikingly similar catalog of abuses, including being beaten while handcuffed, choked and slammed against cell bars and walls. They were also subjected to harsh policies ordered by the State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision: Dozens of inmates, many of whom had won the right to live on the honor block after years of good behavior, were transferred out of Clinton to other prisons. Many were placed in solitary confinement, and stripped of privileges they had accrued over the years — even though no prisoners have yet been linked to Mr. Matt’s and Mr. Sweat’s actions.

Question: What nationality had Israel taken action against?

Approval came at the church’s general synod in Cleveland, where delegates voted 508 to 124 in favor of divestment and boycott, with 38 abstentions. It was one of two resolutions on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict debated by the church, which has about one million members and more than 5,000 congregations nationwide. The second resolution, which called the actions of Israel against Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza Strip acts of apartheid, received 51 percent of the vote — 312 for, 295 against and 31 abstentions — failing to gain the two-thirds majority required for passage. Nonetheless, the slim majority was regarded by supporters of Israel as troubling. Passage of that measure would have made the church the first in the United States to officially describe Israel’s behavior toward the Palestinians as apartheid.

Question: How many were killed?

As each name of the 12 people killed and 70 wounded was read, and read again — prosecutors filed two charges per victim — the families looked to the corner of the public gallery and gave one another a quiet nod or an arm squeeze. After an emotional 10-week trial, one of the longest and most complex in this state’s history, it took a jury of nine women and three men about 12 hours of deliberation over two days to convict Mr. Holmes on all counts. He now faces a lengthy sentencing process in which prosecutors are seeking the death penalty. The jury’s verdict roundly rejected arguments from his defense lawyers that he had had a psychotic break and was legally insane when he carried out the massacre inside the Century 16 theater in suburban Aurora, Colo., on July 20, 2012. His lawyers argued he was not in control of his thoughts or actions, but prosecutors said Mr. Holmes, despite being mentally ill, had plotted the shootings with calculation and knew what he wanted to accomplish when he started firing into the crowd.

Question: Which English Singer is not like by them?

I’m realizing that people have their time and they have their guy. In the same way that you have a band: People just love U2, and they go, “This is my band, and they understand me and they get me. And I don’t like Charli XCX.” It is such an intimate and personal connection that you’re making. But at some point, we’ll be sitting somewhere, sharing a drink, going, “Ugh, when Fallon used to come out, he wouldn’t do any of this! He wouldn’t do any of this 3-D virtual camera stuff. He’d just come out and do lip-sync battles, and they were the great days.”

Question: What train do you commonly see Mets caps on today?

Still, the task of turning New York into a Mets town is far from complete. Prince, the blogger, offered two ways to measure future progress: when Mets caps are highly visible on all trains, not just the 7 line to Flushing, and when a fan’s request to turn a restaurant television to a Mets game is not met with a look “like you have three eyes.” More important, they probably need to do well in the postseason and then re-sign Cespedes. “I think we have a great chance of going all the way,” Breuer said.

Answer: 7 line to Flushing

Question: If Mr. Christie became president, what other state did he say should share in the cost of building the tunnels?

Stephen J. Gardner, Amtrak’s executive vice president for the Northeast Corridor business development, said, “The investment levels necessary to stabilize and improve the Northeast Corridor need to grow substantially both from New Jersey Transit and others if the railroad’s performance is to get better.” In a radio interview last week, Mr. Christie defended his decision in 2010 to kill a plan to build new tunnels under the Hudson River, saying he feared New Jersey would be responsible for cost overruns. Mr. Christie, a Republican who is running for president, said if he got the job, he would ask his transportation secretary and the governors of New York and New Jersey to each give an equal share toward building new tunnels.
