Question: Who expected them to know much of the basics?

In the first two weeks of training, the Americans found the Ukrainians’ soldierly skills lacking, and the group generally in need of instruction. “I came into it expecting them not to know much of the basics,” said Sgt. Michael Faranda, who is teaching maneuvers. He was correct. Things “every soldier should know,” he said, they did not. Some even forgot their helmets on the first day of exercises. Still, Sergeant Faranda said, the Ukrainians’ willingness to go into combat was all the more notable for their lack of preparation for it.

Question: Who committed the shooting?

The circumstances of the shooting remained under investigation. The police did not immediately say whether the gun they were searching for in the apartment had been found or why they believed it was there. Mr. Cradle, who was on probation for driving while intoxicated, had several prior arrests, though some were sealed. None of the unsealed arrests were for violent offenses, the police said. Public records indicated that in 2008 he pleaded guilty to a felony drug conspiracy charge — one of 37 defendants in a long-term narcotics investigation in the Cypress Hills housing development — and served less than a year in state prison.

Question: Who was Mr. Hatz dismissive of?

While Mr. Hatz was referring to carbon dioxide regulations, and Volkswagen’s cheating scandal is centered on smog-forming pollutants, managing both kinds of emissions presents an interlocking puzzle for automakers. At times, Mr. Hatz could sound defeatist. “Perhaps we have just small Korean and Japanese cars in this country,” he said. “We have to be realistic.” And he was dismissive of the prospects for the big Detroit automakers. “I cannot see a way with their program that they can fulfill these regulations,” he said. “There’s no way.” At the time, California regulators, along with regulators in Washington, already had rules in place for emissions of nitrogen oxides and other smog-forming pollutants that were the toughest in the world, and California was also proposing to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from cars. While diesels have better fuel economy and, by extension, lower emissions of global warming gases, they have higher emissions of nitrogen oxides and other smog-forming pollutants that require special treatment systems. The company was plunged into an internal struggle about how to proceed. Wolfgang Bernhard, a former Daimler executive who ran the Volkswagen brand, had championed a technology-sharing agreement with Mercedes-Benz and BMW to jointly develop a system using urea, which neutralizes nitrogen oxides. Publicly, Mr. Hatz supported the technology, which Mercedes markets as Bluetec.

Question: who is the president of the European central bank?

FRANKFURT — A strong indication on Friday that the European Central Bank is on the verge of aggressive action to stimulate the economy, just as the Federal Reserve is dialing back its stimulus, helped push the euro to its lowest level against the dollar since 2010. Mario Draghi, the president of the European Central Bank, said in an interview published in the German newspaper Handelsblatt that the risk that the central bank would not be able to meet its main task of keeping inflation from being too low or too high was greater than it had been six months ago. At 0.3 percent in November, inflation in the eurozone was far below the central bank’s official target of close to 2 percent. Investors interpreted Mr. Draghi’s comments to mean that the central bank is moving closer to broad-based purchases of government bonds, the same kind of “quantitative easing” that the Fed used to push down market interest rates in the United States — and is phasing out as growth picks up.

Question: Why do the rides stop at Chomp Chomp?

In my line of work, grimness of the mouth sets in after I’ve eaten too many things that are trying so hard to impress that they lose touch with anything that comes close to pleasure. And each time I see a roomful of people handing hundreds or thousands of dollars over to a chef who stopped caring a long time ago, my mood turns distinctly Novemberish. Whaling jobs being harder to come by than in Melville’s day, my sea voyages usually take the form of a short ride to a cheap restaurant where warm flavors from another part of the world will burn off my interior drizzle. Recently, these rides have ended at Chomp Chomp in Greenwich Village for radish cakes, noodle soups with transporting powers, coconut rice, triangles of golden beef-filled roti wet with curry sauce, and other treats from the food courts of Singapore.

Answer: for radish cakes, noodle soups with transporting powers, coconut rice, triangles of golden beef-filled roti wet with curry s

Question: What two groups of fighters retook the town of Sinjar on Friday?

DOHUK, Iraq — Kurdish officials are investigating reports that a mass grave has been found near the town of Sinjar that holds the remains of more than 70 Yazidis, including older women, a Kurdish security official said Saturday. Kurdish and Yazidi fighters retook the town of Sinjar on Friday from the Islamic State, which had controlled it since August 2014. On Saturday, local officials told news agencies that Islamic State members had executed older Yazidi women, ages 40 to about 80, in and around the town, whom they did not want to keep as sex slaves. The Kurdish security official said that the allegations appeared plausible and that mass graves had been found in other areas that had been captured from the Islamic State. A Kurdish government team plans to excavate the site to try to confirm the suspicions. “For now, it seems credible,” said a Kurdish official who asked not to be named to discuss internal reports. However, he said, further investigation must wait for excavation of the site.

Question: Which difficult novel did Sandy read?

On a quiet Friday morning in November 2010, Sandy sat down with a mug of honey-ginger tea to read two books that Daryl had brought her. By this point, a year and a half after her amnestic M.C.I. diagnosis, she had progressed to what Duffy said was Alzheimer’s disease. She had retired from Cornell, but she was doing well. She could still travel alone to familiar destinations, including Austin, Tex., where Emily was living. Jeremy had temporarily moved back home to be with her. She could read novels, even difficult ones like Cormac McCarthy’s “The Road.” She played tennis, gardened and went for walks around Ithaca with a handful of friends, most of them former colleagues from Cornell. She saw a few psychotherapy patients. One would later say that even though Sandy was having some trouble remembering words, “it didn’t really matter. In a therapy relationship you’re talking more about emotions — and in that regard, she didn’t miss a beat.”

Question: When did Dr. Shatz die?

Nobody knows how many people read the December 1964 issue of the journal Archives of Internal Medicine, but apparently only one, Dr. Irwin Schatz, was so appalled by one of its articles, about a syphilis experiment using uneducated black men in Tuskegee, Ala., that he wrote the study’s author to protest. “I couldn’t believe what I had read,” Dr. Schatz, who died on April 1, wrote in an email in 2013 to Civil Beat, an online newsletter in Hawaii, where he had moved to teach. “But the message was unmistakable.”

Question: What are the two possible designations of uber drivers?

A federal judge granted class-action status on Tuesday to a lawsuit that questions the employment classification of Uber drivers, paving the way for a legal challenge that could strike at the heart of the ride-hailing company’s business model. The ruling will allow a jury to decide whether some Uber drivers should be considered employees or 1099 contract workers, named after a tax designation, which does not require the company to pay payroll taxes or apply minimum wage and overtime laws to the drivers. In some states, the 1099 classification also exempts Uber from paying for things like health insurance or general vehicle upkeep. “The court concludes that a number of Uber’s class certification arguments are problematic,” Judge Edward M. Chen of the Federal District Court for the Northern District of California in San Francisco wrote in the 68-page ruling. He added that there was “simply no basis” to Uber’s claim “that some innumerable legion of drivers prefer to remain independent contractors rather than become employees.”

Question: Who is Steven Pitt?

“Look for the defense to emphasize the fact that James Holmes truly suffers from a serious mental illness, that he is in dire need of ongoing treatment and that while incarcerated he does not pose any real threat or danger to society,” said Steven Pitt, a forensic psychiatrist in Arizona who has followed the case closely. “Look for the prosecution to try and minimize the extent of Holmes’s mental illness and instead depict him as someone who is depraved and rotten to the core.” The district attorney, George Brauchler, has said that for Mr. Holmes, “justice is death.” Prosecutors argued that Mr. Holmes plotted the shootings for several weeks, deliberately and meticulously, because he had lost his first and only girlfriend, had dropped out of his graduate program and had generally lost his purpose in life.

Question: What is Ms. Smith doing in January?

“Throughout my life, I happily deferred to family, companions, children,” she said. “This was mine. I didn’t have to compromise, and I say that in the best of ways.” In 1994, within the space of a few weeks, Ms. Smith lost her husband, the musician Fred Sonic Smith, to heart failure, and her brother, Todd Smith, who was also her road manager, to a stroke. Almost two decades later, Ms. Smith was still making peace with their absence. Those losses, and newer, fresher sorrows, pierce her elegiac new book, “M Train,” which in its own elliptical way is as much a love story about her late husband as “Just Kids,” her stunning 2010 memoir of youth and bohemia, was about Robert Mapplethorpe. The book, out next week, is a sort of first salvo before the 40th anniversary of “Horses,” the 68-year-old poet/rocker/visual artist/author’s historic first album. Ms. Smith, who spent her summer on a 45-city concert tour of Europe, is about to embark on an 18-city book tour, after which follows another grueling performance schedule that has her working, quite happily, into January.

Question: What are the co-determinants in mishearing ?

Mishearings are not hallucinations, but like hallucinations they utilize the usual pathways of perception and pose as reality — it does not occur to one to question them. But since all of our perceptions must be constructed by the brain, from often meager and ambiguous sensory data, the possibility of error or deception is always present. Indeed, it is a marvel that our perceptions are so often correct, given the rapidity, the near instantaneity, with which they are constructed. One’s surroundings, one’s wishes and expectations, conscious and unconscious, can certainly be co-determinants in mishearing, but the real mischief lies at lower levels, in those parts of the brain involved in phonological analysis and decoding. Doing what they can with distorted or deficient signals from our ears, these parts of the brain manage to construct real words or phrases, even if they are absurd.

Question: Is Blatt a rookie coach or a well seasoned veteran?

The same, however, could not be said of James’s teammates, who seemed disoriented during the game, with expressions as dull as old pennies. In the fourth quarter, as the James-led Cavaliers whittled the Suns’ double-digit lead to sawdust, the Cleveland reserves looked on passively as if it had no dog in the fight. The only time the Cavaliers really looked in sync was during their ritualistic exchange of elaborate pregame handshakes. So on a night when James did everything but steal the trumpet out of Jesse McGuire’s hands and play the national anthem, the loss amplified the general sense of unease over the team’s composition and its compatibility with Blatt, a rookie N.B.A. coach. His extended success overseas seems to be lost in translation with many of his players, who may not care what he achieved in Russia or Israel.

Question: Where did investors find higher-yielding securities?

The original taper tantrum happened in June 2013. It is a cute name for what occurred when global financial markets collectively went berserk over the realization that the Fed was serious about tapering its program of quantitative easing — or put more plainly, that the Fed would wind down its injections of money into the financial system over time. There was a second, similar explosion of volatility in October 2014, as the Fed’s intentions to raise interest rates in 2015 became clearer. In effect, the Fed’s easy money policies had led global investors to search for higher-yielding securities, which they found in many faster-growing emerging markets. Money gushed into these countries in search of better returns from 2010 until 2013, driving up asset prices.

Question: What do women who sell sex have to do in order to get help from social services?

The law is forcing women who sell sex into more dangerous situations, it said, arguing that transactions have become faster and more furtive because men are afraid of the police, leading women to jump into cars without first checking if the driver is drunk, high or otherwise threatening. And the number of Swedes in favor of a ban on the sale of sex as well as its purchase appears to have grown. The Swedish Association for Sexuality Education — known by its Swedish initials, R.F.S.U. — said the results of the research review raised questions about the law’s effectiveness, as well as its impact on prostitutes and on women like Daniella seeking to leave prostitution. The group said in February that it was “far from obvious that the legislation had had the intended effect.” It said the law had increased stigma and discrimination, putting women who sell sex “in an even more precarious position,” and should be changed to better protect their rights. Kristina Ljungros, the group’s president, said she opposed legalizing the purchase of sex, as Germany and the Netherlands have done. Instead, she said, her group wants to open a discussion about what it considers the unintended consequences of Sweden’s law. “Some people selling sex report that it is very hard to find a social service that will help women unless they stop selling sex,” Ms. Ljungros said. “I think we need more of a harm reduction perspective that would protect people selling sex and their rights in a better way.”

Question: In what inning did Randy Verlade score on a single?

But David Cone, another Yankees war horse, walked in the tying run in the eighth, and the game went to extra innings. In the top of the 11th, the Yankees scored on a single by Randy Velarde, and all they had to do was hold the lead. They didn’t. In a play that seemed to unfold in slow motion so that you could see the heartbreak coming long before it arrived, Edgar Martinez doubled into the left-field corner off Jack McDowell, scoring two runs, including Ken Griffey Jr. on an all-out sprint from first base.

Question: Who wanted to impeach Ms. Konstantopoulou?

Some analysts said that Ms. Konstantopoulou, a stickler for rules, could prevent him from using the fast-track procedures that would be necessary to get the job done in time to satisfy European leaders. Portions of the plan must be passed by Wednesday, and more a week from Wednesday. Among the elements that must be dealt with this week are increases in the value added tax, including the end of a special tax status for the Greek islands; a makeover of the pension system; and the imposition of automatic spending cuts if the government misses budget targets. Ms. Konstantopoulou issued a statement saying she had no intention of resigning, even as Mr. Tsipras’s allies talked of impeaching her.

Question: What does the government's export credit agency do?

WASHINGTON —  Last week, with little notice, a federal judge here tossed out Delta Air Lines’ longstanding claim that the government’s export credit agency — which, among other things, provides loan guarantees to overseas airlines for the purchase of Boeing jets — was helping international competitors at the airline’s expense. Delta offered only a shrug. Judicial opinions aside, the continued existence of the Export-Import Bank turns more on bare-knuckle politics than on legal niceties. “We pursued all our options in court, but we’ve known all along this is going to be won or lost in Congress,” said Trebor Banstetter, a Delta spokesman in Atlanta.

Question: What percent does the company keep for themselves off each transaction?

Chime’s sitters in New York cost $17 an hour for one child and an extra dollar an hour for each additional child (the company keeps 10 percent of every transaction), and the app’s automatic payment feature can help ease the awkwardness of settling up at the end of the night. Given the credibility that Chime seems to have earned among parents who have already used the app, it’s a shame that one of its failings is so much more ordinary. I ran across some technical trouble while taking the app through its paces. Mr. Conrad admitted that “there might be a few rough edges,” and another of the mothers I interviewed, Jamie Kosmar, said she had yet to successfully use the app because it still has “a couple of bugs.” The app’s website does not seem to have any of the same problems, however. And as Chime is still brand-new, it seems likely that its developers will be able to clean up its technical troubles. If it does, it could become a reliable alternative to the old-fashioned sitter next door.

Question: How many troops did Russia deploy?

“The Russians have fought what is largely a proxy war in eastern Ukraine — and on the cheap, too,” Mark Galeotti, a military analyst, wrote in Foreign Policy magazine. “Even the government in Kiev, which is prone to alarmism, estimates that Russia has deployed, at most, some 9,000 troops.” But the conflict has also reached a point where Russia would have to commit significant new resources for any further advance, which helped clear the way for a settlement to consolidate its gains, Mr. Lukyanov said. The separatists “cannot advance very much without direct Russian involvement, and Russia does not want to get directly involved,” he said.

Question: Who was the paleontologist at George Washington University?

Paleontologists have discovered a distant relative of Triceratops in western China that lived 160 million years ago. Named Hualianceratops wucaiwanensis, the plant-eater stood on its hind legs and was about the size of a spaniel. Hualianceratops and another dinosaur from the region, named Yinlong downsi, are the two oldest known ceratopsians, so-called horned dinosaurs, although neither the Hualianceratops nor Yinlong had horns. There were dozens of species of ceratopsians, but Triceratops, which lived in North America about 65 million years ago, is the best known. “These small dinosaurs were related to Triceratops, but very distantly,” said Catherine A. Forster, a paleontologist at George Washington University and one of the team who discovered Hualianceratops. She and her colleagues recovered a partial skull and hind leg, and described their findings in the journal PLOS One.

Question: How was the fire spreading?

On Monday, the fire leapt across Highway 20, embers blowing from treetop to treetop, dismaying the firefighters, who had hoped to contain the blaze to one side of the road. The ability of a fire to keep catching — called its probability of ignition — is assessed by fire experts. The Rocky Fire has a probability of ignition of 100 percent, almost unheard-of when the tinder is forest and scrub, as it is here. “That’s something I’ve never seen,” Captain Oatman said. In the gymnasium of nearby Middletown High School, a few evacuees were sleeping on green cots in an impromptu Red Cross shelter, one of two in the area. In the school’s theater, about a dozen people ate a meal of chicken and linguine, occasionally rising to scan a large printout of the day’s fire map on the wall, anxiously checking how close the angry red blotch was to their homes.

Question: Where is Kid Comet from?

Question: How much was the coupon Wayfair sent to Mr, Fisher?

Wayfair thinks so. “We are highly focused on delivering an exceptional shopping experience to all of our customers,” wrote a company spokeswoman, Jane Carpenter. “Unfortunately, in this particular case, there was a mix-up in our delivery process and we did not meet our high standards in terms of experience and service.” The company quickly arranged to pick up that patio furniture and sent Mr. Fisher a $250 coupon for future use. “We hope he will give us another chance,” Ms. Carpenter wrote, “to show him the top-notch shopping experience that more accurately represents Wayfair.” Something you would consider, Mr. Fisher? “I can’t imagine buying anything more complicated than rugs from Wayfair at this point,” he wrote — unaware, apparently, that to Wayfair, rugs are pretty complicated.

Question: Who came forward to swear she had not seen Mr. Hincapie on the subway platform when the murder happened?

The judge’s ruling came after lengthy hearings, starting in February, during which Mr. Hincapie testified that a detective had beaten a confession out of him and a previously unknown witness, Mariluz Santana, came forward to swear she had not seen Mr. Hincapie on the subway platform when the murder happened. Mr. Watkins, a tourist from Utah visiting New York for the United States Open, was stabbed in the chest on Sept. 3, 1990, in a struggle with at least six young men who had tried to rob his family inside the Seventh Avenue subway station at 53rd Street. Some of the men later said they needed money to go dancing at the Roseland Ballroom. Mr. Hincapie, now 43, was arrested the next day and confessed to taking part. He was one of seven young men convicted of felony murder at two separate trials. Under state law, everyone who takes part in a mugging can be held responsible for murder if a victim dies.
