Question: Which French manufacturer had powered Red Bull in all of it's championship successes?

The other teams fear that with a better engine, the Red Bull aerodynamics guru, Adrian Newey, who has been responsible for designing many of the championship-winning cars of the last two decades — at Red Bull and previously at Williams and McLaren — would trump them again. The ongoing saga began to unfold in July, when Red Bull, dissatisfied with its Renault engine’s inferior power in the new downsized, hybrid, turbo formula, said it would drop its Renault engine a year before the end of their contract. The French manufacturer had powered Red Bull to all of its championships successes. But it had long felt that it had not received enough credit for those victories, and so when it was jilted by Red Bull, it was loath to help Red Bull find a replacement engine. At the same time, Renault had moved on to a new project that involved possibly buying the Lotus team and returning to the series as a full-fledged car and engine manufacturer. Red Bull, meanwhile, had announced that it was dropping the Renault engine after it had entered into what it considered was an agreement to use the best engine of the new era, made by Mercedes. But Mercedes later said that there was no agreement. Mercedes had indeed spoken to Red Bull directors, the German manufacturer claimed, but any possibility of a deal fell apart because the directors had overlooked some important negotiating points. One of those points involved the eventuality that with a Mercedes engine Red Bull might beat the Mercedes team and therefore Mercedes could benefit, rather than suffer, from the situation through marketing. “We wanted to know from Red Bull about shared ideas and marketing campaigns we could develop for a common future,” said Toto Wolff, the Mercedes motorsport director. “But nothing came out of it. And so the issue was taken care of from our side.” Finding itself with no Renault or Mercedes engine, the Red Bull team turned to Ferrari. But Red Bull wanted to have exactly the same engine that the Ferrari team uses. After starting poorly last season, the Italian manufacturer’s engine has improved this year to the point of being the second-best in the series.

Question: Where was Dr King when he wrote his letters?

But everything they say is drawn from works produced two decades apart: “The Diary of a Young Girl: The Definitive Edition,” the unexpurgated version of Frank’s Holocaust journal, and “Letter From a Birmingham Jail,” a rebuke to Southern white clergymen that Dr. King wrote while imprisoned for civil disobedience in Alabama in 1963. “I tried to match passages,” Ms. Vaughn said. She added that when reading Frank’s diary, which is in epistolary form, she would think, “What does she say that might spark a response from him?”

Question: What is the time period needed for Iran to meet the requirements of the agreement?

While critics of the agreement in the United States said the compromise gave Iran latitude to cheat, Mr. Amano and his subordinates said it conformed to their standards. The compromise also enabled Iran to assert that no foreigners had been permitted to enter its military bases, mollifying domestic opponents of the deal who said Iranian sovereignty had been subverted. Iran’s Parliament formally endorsed the nuclear agreement this week, and it was then ratified by an oversight panel, the final approval required from the Iranian side. American officials have said it will take six to nine months for Iran to carry out all the steps required before sanctions are lifted. Iran has said it can complete the steps more quickly.

Question: How many shirts are featured in the photo book?

The new photo book “Rap Tees: A Collection of Hip-Hop T-Shirts 1980-1999” by DJ Ross One documents 500 shirts, from hip-hop’s dawn — the first item is a Sugar Hill Gang shirt from 1980, a year after that group released “Rapper’s Delight,” widely considered the first commercial hip-hop single — to its turn-of-the-millennium ubiquity. All the shirts are advertisements, but they go about their job in vastly different ways: Some emphasize logos, others favor slogans or let photos do the talking; a rare few let artists have their way.

Question: How much was the scholarship for that Ms. Harper applied for?

The young woman’s mother, who immigrated from the Philippines, said that she had shared Filipino meals with Ms. Harper, and that Ms. Harper had taught her how to drive. She wrote a letter of support when Ms. Harper was applying for a $1,500 scholarship to continue her nursing studies. The family still has Ms. Harper’s thank you card. “Once again, thank you so very much for helping me with my scholarship application,” the note says. “Now I can attend the nursing program without having to stress out about tuition!”

Question: What can be heard on the film of the escape?

What was clear was that those trapped had been living in difficult conditions.

Question: How many consecutive points did Nishikori get in his match against Wawrinka?

Nishikori trailed by 6-1 in the third-set tiebreaker before he saved five consecutive match points to level the score at 6-6, sending the resigned crowd into unlikely excitement. But with Wawrinka pinned behind the baseline on the next point, an attempted drop shot by Nishikori hit the bottom of the net tape and slid down onto his side of the court, sending his coach, Michael Chang, similarly slumping into his seat. The error gave Wawrinka a sixth match point, which he converted with an ace for a spot in the semifinals.

Question: what did Mr. Lowell think would happen to the motions

“Many of the motions raise important and novel legal questions that often require review by trial and appellate courts,” Mr. Lowell said. “The government, we, and even the court in this case acknowledged that additional review would occur here no matter how the motions were decided.” A Justice Department spokesman declined to comment on Monday’s decision. Mr. Menendez has vowed to stay in office while fighting the case against him in court, though he gave up his position as the senior Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee after being indicted.

Question: Where was Dr. mapstone's office located?

The next month, Sandy’s husband, Daryl, from whom she had been amicably separated for 15 years, drove her from Ithaca to the University of Rochester Medical Center for cognitive testing by a neuropsychologist named Mark Mapstone. Mapstone showed Sandy a line drawing and asked her to copy it, and then to draw it from memory 10 minutes later. He read her a list of words and had her recall as many as she could. He gave her two numbers and two letters and asked her to rearrange them in a particular order: low letter, high letter, low number, high number. Thank goodness that last one wasn’t timed, she thought to herself, as she focused all her mental energy on the task. She felt as gleeful as a kid who had earned a gold star when Mapstone said, “Yes, that’s right.” After three hours, Mapstone gave a preliminary diagnosis: amnestic mild cognitive impairment. At first Sandy was relieved — he had said mild, hadn’t he? — but then she caught the look on his face. This is not a good thing, Mapstone told her gently; most cases of amnestic M.C.I. progress to full-blown Alzheimer’s disease within 10 years. When Sandy went back to the waiting room to meet Daryl, she was weeping uncontrollably. Between sobs, she explained the diagnosis and the inevitable decline on the horizon. She felt terror at the prospect of becoming a hollowed-out person with no memory, mind or sense of identity, as well as fury that she was powerless to do anything but endure it. With Alzheimer’s disease, she would write, it is “extraordinarily difficult for one’s body to die in tandem with the death of one’s self.” That day at Mapstone’s office, she vowed that she would figure out a way to take her own life before the disease took it from her. Later that month, Sandy sat down in her upstairs study — painted a rich burgundy, as the rest of the house was, to make the sprawling old place feel cozy — and looked at her Mac desktop computer screen. She had some trepidation about her plan to keep a journal of her own deterioration. But she opened a new document, gave it a file name — “Memoir” — and began to type. She tried to describe the maddening capriciousness of “a mind that could be so alive one moment with thought and feeling building toward a next step and then someone erases the blackboard. It’s all gone and I can’t even reconstruct what the topic was. It’s just gone. And I sit with the dark, the blank.”

Question: Who is wanted for war crimes?

News of Mr. Bashir’s plan to participate in the United Nations development meeting, which takes place after the annual General Assembly, first emerged Aug. 3 when his name appeared on the provisional itinerary of speakers for Sept. 26. The United States, as the United Nations’ host country, is obliged by treaty to issue visas to visiting heads of state, even those it finds distasteful. A State Department spokesman, Mark C. Toner, said then that he was unaware a visa had been requested, but that “we’ve been very clear how we feel about the president of Sudan and that he’s wanted for crimes, and we want to see him held accountable.”

Question: Who is in charge of the parish's day-to-day administration?

Paul Cerni, the parish secretary, said that the shifts in the congregation’s demographics have vaguely mirrored those in the broader community, with a growing number of immigrants from predominantly Catholic countries of Latin America replacing those of Western European descent. The parish, established in 1910, has a congregation that now numbers about 1,500 people, he said, with about a quarter foreign-born. “We should pray the baby gets a proper home,” said Father Heanue, who arrived at the parish in February and is in charge of its day-to-day administration. Should the baby eventually be put up for adoption, he said, he had one wish. “I would like to see the child stay in this community,” he said.

Question: How many children does Moussa Mohammad have ?

Europe is once again wary of Germany. This time, it is not an aggressive Germany that wants to expand its borders but an aggressively generous one that is opening its borders, recent controls notwithstanding. Two questions are frequently raised: Is Europe’s richest and most populous country still trying to ease its conscience 70 years after the war? And does its new “Willkommenskultur” have a mercantilist edge given a shrinking and aging population? One German broadsheet, The Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, recently suggested that when Germany thinks about refugees, it really thinks about itself. Such talk does not bother Moussa Mohammad, a cardiologist and father of four from Dara’a, Syria, who received refugee status in Germany in February. “If Germany needs us, good,” he said. “Because we need Germany.”

Question: How many trips to Haiti has Mr. Capponi made?

Mr. Mana, 57, the founder of Moishe’s Moving and Storage, who had recently acquired a significant swath of the Wynwood art district in Miami, paused just long enough to chide his companion: “Pay attention, Michael.” Michael Capponi, his host, obliged, glancing up briefly from the iPhone he had been monitoring as avidly as an N.F.L. game. Mr. Capponi, a 42-year-old bon viveur, developer, night life impresario and champion of humanitarian causes (having made no fewer than 70 trips to Haiti since the island’s 2010 earthquake), had in fact been listening. Then Mr. Capponi spoke, waxing effusive as he presided over the kind of high-testosterone boastfest increasingly common inside the restaurant’s tulle-tented courtyard. The space, which he had constructed with his building partner, Gary Shear, is thriving these days as a hub for power diners. “We built it from scratch,” Mr. Capponi all but gloated. “It took four months and a lot of getting yelled at.”

Answer: no fewer than 70

Mr. Mana, 57, the founder of Moishe’s Moving and Storage, who had recently acquired a significant swath of the Wynwood art district in Miami, paused just long enough to chide his companion: “Pay attention, Michael.” Michael Capponi, his host, obliged, glancing up briefly from the iPhone he had been monitoring as avidly as an N.F.L. game. <hl> Mr. Capponi, a 42-year-old bon viveur, developer, night life impresario and champion of humanitarian causes (having made no fewer than 70 trips to Haiti since the island’s 2010 earthquake), had in fact been listening. <hl> Then Mr. Capponi spoke, waxing effusive as he presided over the kind of high-testosterone boastfest increasingly common inside the restaurant’s tulle-tented courtyard.

Question: What was founded by the bartender of Glad Hand?

Mr. Seymour told me that he and Mr. Connell first drank together at the Glad Hand, now closed, whose bartender founded the No Name. “He was a very good-looking guy,” Mr. Seymour, 77, said of Mr. Connell. “We called him Smiling Jack. He always wore a leather flight jacket, had a little mustache, looked like the Smilin’ Jack character in the comics” — a macho aviator in a strip that ran from 1933 to 1973. “He was a Gary Cooper type all the way,” Mr. Seymour said. “Very spare in what he had to say. I’m not quite sure where he lived. He may have been living in San Francisco and spending time in Sausalito. He wasn’t boisterous, wasn’t a big drinker. Just be in there, sit down, nursing whatever he was drinking.”

Question: What is Molly Moon's offering to their employees?

Corporate America, as a whole, has long fought paid leave. Executives, especially at small businesses, say it burdens employers with additional costs and the need to temporarily replace employees. Some studies have found that when governments require paid leave, employers pay for it by decreasing employees’ wages. “I certainly think there’s a lot of people who benefit from paid leave,” said James Sherk, an analyst at the Heritage Foundation, a conservative group in Washington. “But given it’s not a free lunch and employees are paying for it, I’d prefer it was a decision the employee was making and not being forced on them.” Some small businesses are offering their own paid leave policies. Molly Moon’s Homemade Ice Cream, a Seattle chain, recently began offering employees 12 weeks of paid parental leave. “It was not just the right thing to do but also a really important retention policy,” said Molly Moon Neitzel, the owner. In the prelude to the 2016 election, Democrats have signaled that they see paid leave as a political winner — a broadly popular policy change that addresses economic anxiety. Bernie Sanders, the Vermont senator and Democratic presidential candidate, has called for legislation to guarantee paid sick, vacation and family leave.

Question: what song was played at the end of the run?

BOSTON —  The American men ended their slump in the Boston Marathon when Meb Keflezighi won in 2014, a cathartic victory that enabled “The Star-Spangled Banner” to play over Boylston Street one year after bombs had exploded there. This year, the United States women are hoping to end a drought that has lasted 30 years. “The marathon gods blessed Meb with that run; it was electric,” said Shalane Flanagan, a native of Marblehead, Mass., who grew up following the race as the daughter of two marathoners. Flanagan finished fourth in 2013 and seventh last year in 2 hours 22 minutes 2 seconds — the career best for an American woman on the Boston course. “Last year was extremely special, just being an American,” she said. “It’s a run I’ll never, ever forget.” The 119th edition of the Boston Marathon is scheduled to leave Hopkinton, Mass., on Monday morning, and this year’s field gives the United States two chances for its first women’s victory since Lisa Weidenbach won in 1985. Joining Flanagan is Desiree Linden, who finished second in Boston in 2011.

Question: In what month does "The Force Awakens" come to theaters?

To grasp the impact of “Star Wars” and the world it helped create — and to understand both contemporary fandom and the entertainment industry — you have to accept that when George Lucas likened himself to a toymaker in the 1970s, he wasn’t kidding. Toys were always part of the “Star Wars” world; they still are. On Sept. 4, at precisely 12:01 a.m., the Walt Disney Company, which now owns Lucasfilm, kicked off a merchandising extravaganza with retailers like Walmart called “Force Friday.” It was a pseudo-event that was dutifully and excitedly covered by news media and infotainment outfits, despite being just another stop on the rollout for Disney’s “Star Wars: The Force Awakens,” which, in case you’ve been stuck in another galaxy, opens Dec. 18.

Question: What band created the songs that the Mets' players were singing?

“One of the things we tried to do here was make it fun to be here,” Collins said. “Therefore, we’ve tried to create an atmosphere in the clubhouse that’s fun.” The culture shift was evident early in the afternoon. Several Mets, led by Juan Uribe, were singing along to pop songs by the Backstreet Boys, the popular boy band from the late 1990s. The mood was the epitome of relaxed. While the Mets were keeping things light, local television and radio broadcasts in Philadelphia were full of speculation about retaliation after tensions flared during the Mets’ win on Tuesday, when Hansel Robles threw a pitch before a Phillies batter was ready. But the events from the night before were far from the thoughts of the Mets’ players. “We talked with Hansel today; you can’t react like he did,” Collins said, referring to Robles’s staring toward the Phillies’ dugout after an inning-ending strikeout. “The other guys, they haven’t even brought it up today.” With clear minds, the Mets emerged to score three runs in the first inning off the Phillies’ Jerad Eickhoff, a rookie.

Question: Mr. Cuomo wants to increase the number of charter schools in the state. How do teacher's unions feel about this position?

ALBANY —  In an emerging sign of possible budget-battle lines, Democrats in the New York Assembly rejected proposals on Monday by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo linking an increase in statewide school aid to an array of his proposed changes. They also sided with Mayor Bill de Blasio’s bid for longer-term mayoral control of New York City’s schools. The Democrats’ stance, articulated in several proposals released by Speaker Carl E. Heastie of the Bronx, keeps a tight focus in Albany on the issue of education, which Mr. Cuomo has promised to make a focus of his nascent second term. In January, Mr. Cuomo, a Democrat, introduced a series of education proposals, including making a teacher evaluation system rely more heavily on state tests, raising the number of charter schools in the state and allowing failing schools to be taken over by outside groups. That position was criticized by teachers’ unions but praised by supporters of the charter school movement. Mr. Cuomo’s education plan also includes a financial carrot: an increase of $1.1 billion in state aid if his proposals become law. But on Monday, Mr. Heastie suggested that such an approach would not pass muster in the Assembly, which Democrats control.

Question: What is the lifetime wage difference between a worker with a bachelor's degree and one with only a high school diploma?

Today’s economy leaves little doubt about the value of college. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, in 2014 the median worker with a bachelor’s degree (and no advanced degree) earned $69,260, compared with $34,540 for the median worker with only a high school diploma. Over a lifetime, that difference accumulates to about $1.5 million. Increasing educational attainment is also the best way to combat growing income inequality. Over the last 40 years, the wages of skilled workers have increased substantially compared with the wages of the unskilled. Most economists agree that a leading cause is skill-biased technological change — the tendency of new technologies to increase the relative demand for skilled workers. College is the main institution that can offset this trend by turning unskilled individuals into skilled ones. Even those who do not attend college benefit when more of their fellow citizens do so. A person who becomes educated leaves the pool of the unskilled. Those left behind face fewer competitors. With fewer unskilled workers vying for the available jobs, wages at the bottom of the economic ladder are bid up. Although increasing college attendance makes a lot of sense, both for individuals and for the nation, the financial hurdle to doing so is higher than ever. The College Board reports that published tuition and fees at a typical private, nonprofit college, adjusted for overall inflation, have increased by 70 percent over the last 20 years. What gives?

Question: What Stanton surgery had?

Outfielder Giancarlo Stanton of the Miami Marlins would be an obvious starter for the N.L., having won the league’s player of the month award for June with a .344 average and 12 home runs. But Stanton had surgery to repair a broken bone in his hand last Sunday and will miss several weeks. Likewise, Detroit’s Miguel Cabrera, who is hitting .350, is the clear choice at first base for the A.L., but he is expected to miss six weeks after sustaining a severe calf injury on Friday night.  Here is a list of the way the teams should look, with deserving (and healthy) starters listed first. Every team is represented, as the rules dictate, and each roster has the mandatory 34 players. The N.L. manager, Bruce Bochy, must pick a designated hitter from his reserves, so we did it for him. A few thoughts on the teams follow.

Question: In what forum do questions about migrants typically come up?

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: What is the Portuguese-language name for the Petrobras investigation?

If any good has come from the Petrobras debacle it is the flickering sense that this time could be different. Part of the reason is the work of Judge Sérgio Moro, who is overseeing the investigation, officially known as Operação Lava Jato, or Operation Carwash. In Brazil, judges have wide latitude to define both the direction and scope of criminal inquiries, and Judge Moro’s willingness to pursue even the eminent and influential has made him a folk hero. During a recent visit to the courthouse where he presides in Curitiba, ribbons of yellow and green, the national colors, were tied around trees, quiet expressions of solidarity and support. Another source of public optimism can be found on the eighth floor of an office building a few miles away, in rooms that could pass for a low-budget telemarketing operation. This is home to the team of nine prosecutors working on Lava Jato, as everyone here calls it.

Question: Who went 3 for 11 from the field?

“I thought my guy was taking a lot of hard hits, and I didn’t like it, and I was expressing my opinion,” he said. “And LeBron stepped in to sort of protect me in that situation, which is more than fine.” Star player, coach, assistant coach, medical expert. James even found time to impersonate a statistician during the game, approaching the officials during a first-quarter timeout and arguing that a 2-point basket credited to his teammate Kevin Love should have been a 3-pointer. After reviewing the play, the officials made the change. But Love did not make another 3, shot 3 for 11 from the field and, not for the first time, spent the fourth quarter on the bench.

Question: What would the deal do for Mr. Rodman if it was accepted?

The Clinton Foundation said in its statement that aside from supporting a housing exposition in Haiti, it had not been directly involved with any housing projects. The foundation also said Mr. Rodham’s project had not been among the more than 300 submitted for consideration at the expo. Mr. Rodham projected that he could make $1 million on the Haiti deal if it came to pass — enough money, he said in his court testimony, to take his family to Disney World and cover his debts, including his legal bills and his long overdue federal taxes. Mr. Rodham eventually settled his bill with his former lawyer, Gwendolyn Jo M. Carlberg. Ms. Carlberg said in a phone interview that, despite her lawsuit, she did not have a negative view of Mr. Rodham. “I found a lot of good in Tony,” she said.

Question: What didn't he want to repeat in the country?

Question: What is their second idea to gather people together?

In preparing for your show, did you think about how it would fit together with David Letterman’s “Late Show”? We would talk about it in terms of atmosphere, and we’d go, what’s the show that’s on before us? It’s “Late Show With David Letterman” and it’s going to come from a Broadway theater that seats about 400 to 500 people. OK, well, where would you go after you’ve been to the theater? You’d go to somewhere that feels more intimate. So then we were like, What if we have a bar, and we’ll bring the audience closer? And then what if we have all of our guests out at the same time? I don’t know if we’re right. We could be very, very wrong. Do you expect a recalibration after Stephen Colbert takes over?

Question: What sport is this paragraph about?

The blurring of lines between sports and ready-to-wear via that hybrid known as athleisure wear has only exacerbated the situation. Indeed, brands increasingly unveil their “collections” weeks in advance so consumers can Get the Look. Athletic brands, that is. Though this has become true to a certain extent for every tournament (save, perhaps, Wimbledon, where the insistence on traditional white limits the fashion options to a meaningful degree), it reaches its apogee with the United States Open, in part because of a certain boundary-pushing ethos associated with New York and in part because, according to Mr. Eisenbud, it is the Grand Slam event with the most nontennis news-media coverage attached, and hence the greatest potential reach.

Question: Which organization was Ruth a part of?

PG: Rap names aside, your careers unfolded side by side at the forefront of the women’s movement. When did you meet? GS: When Ruth was at the A.C.L.U. What comes to mind are these cases in which young African-American women were being sterilized without their permission. RBG: There was an irony. We couldn’t get abortions. But there was this notorious obstetrician, and if it was a woman’s third child, he would automatically sterilize her.

Question: What other ads were in the other car?

Steward Johnson, 25, a consultant who lives in Midtown Manhattan, was more concerned with the name appearing alongside the image: “Bill de Blasio, Mayor.” The ad promoted the city’s “Made in NY” effort supporting local film production. “It probably isn’t smart for the mayor to have his name plastered on an advertisement such as this,” Mr. Johnson said with a laugh. In another car, there were ads in English and Spanish for free “Kyng” size condoms from the city’s health department, part of a continuing public service campaign to promote safe sex. Mr. Rachmany of Dumbo Moving argues that those ads are more explicit than his because they refer directly to sex.

Question: What University did the Arthur go to to get a M.B.A.?

A. We lived in a small house in the Midwest. My dad was killed in the Berlin Crisis — he was a navigator on a bomber. There was no life insurance. My mom had to raise three boys. We grew up as latchkey kids. We never felt poor, but we always worked hard. I had paper routes, and in high school I actually had a night job in a factory. What kind of factory? It was a plastics molding factory. The thing I remember most is making fly swatters. This big press would make them and then it would open and the fly swatters would pop out, and you had to reach in, grab them and get your hand out before it slammed back again to make the next ones. And where did you go to college? University of Missouri for undergraduate. When I got out of school, it was 1972, and not particularly the best economic time. I got a job selling tools to stores. As an introvert, I would never have picked being a salesman as a career. I was pretty good at it, but I didn’t like it. Then I went to the University of Kansas to get an M.B.A. And your career plan then?

Question: What did McKinsey foresee in their findings?

Ms. Massenet’s Net-a-Porter has spent most of the past 15 years in the red, although it posted a 1.4 million pound profit on sales of 654 million pounds last year. Still, she has enviable industry contacts and a stellar individual reputation. The newly merged group may be easier to run with Yoox’s Mr. Marchetti as the single, clear leader. But Yoox may well miss Mr. Massenet’s input. Yoox also loses her just as online luxury is heating up. LVMH announced it is hiring Ian Rogers of Apple to head up its digital innovation. McKinsey research also shows the strongest growth in online luxury sales happening on the websites of individual luxury brands and leading department stores. For multibrand websites like Yoox Net-a-Porter, the trends are becoming more challenging.
