Question: What year did the parks department hold a meeting for ideas about the Dome Playground?

“When we are unable to get a successful bid on a contract, that can delay a project six months to a year,” Mr. Silver said. Such was the case in Councilman Brad Lander’s district, in Brooklyn, where a dog run near DiMattina Playground limped along for years. Mr. Lander allotted $225,000 toward the project in 2010. When it went out to bid, however, there were no takers the first time around. The dog run, in Carroll Gardens, finally opened last summer, with new benches, fountains with spouts and a bone-shape dog pool. “It’s beautiful,” Mr. Lander said. Now he has his eye on another park project: the $2.75 million renovation of Dome Playground, on the border of Kensington and Borough Park. The parks department held a meeting to solicit ideas in early 2011; construction began last week — four years later. “This is another long saga,” said Mr. Lander, who allocated money from his discretionary fund toward the renovation. “But it has picked up pace as of late.”

Question: where Mary morris gamble traveled ?

Mary Morris Gamble Booth, class of ’50, traveled to Paris with Sweet Briar’s first junior-year program, which drew students of both sexes from across the country, including, that year, 15 Yale men. It was 1948 when they set sail, and Ms. Booth recounted how one of the Yale men kept trying to sneak up to the first-class deck from third class. “He was wearing white bucks and the British crew did not approve of white buck shoes, so he gave himself away,” she recalled. She said she was not quite paying attention when Secretary of State George Marshall articulated his Marshall Plan at Reid Hall, Sweet Briar’s Left Bank headquarters. Nevertheless, she ended up working for the program in Washington. “This year, I’m chairman of our 65th reunion,” Ms. Booth, 87, said sadly. “When they asked me last year, I said: ‘Sure, how hard can that be? Last year I think four people showed up for their 65th.’ Of course, this year is going to be a mob scene. It’s sort of an alpha and omega. Our reunion, and the last graduation.”

Question: What was the German Empire not able to deal with?

The origins of the Nazi dictatorship are to be found in the authoritarian legacy of the German Empire, the inability to cope with the defeat in World War I and the failure to achieve political compromise during the Weimar Republic. When it comes to explaining the Holocaust, Germans inquire about the place of anti-Semitism and xenophobia in their society and about the psychological and cultural factors that led ordinary citizens to participate in, or to accept, horrific atrocities. They understand their own history well enough to avoid being distracted by demagogy about gun control. If the United States is going to arrive at a workable compromise solution to its gun problem, it will not be accomplished through the use of historical analogies that are false, silly and insulting. Similarly, coming to terms with a civilizational breach of the magnitude of the Holocaust requires a serious encounter with history, rather than political sloganeering that exploits history as a prop for mobilizing one’s base.

Question: Is the accident both partys  fault

I took my sweet little dog for a walk. He got agitated by a cat sitting on a porch, pulled free of me and raced toward the house, knocking over (and breaking) a large ceramic urn. I acknowledge that I am partly responsible for the damage. But don’t the homeowners have some responsibility, too, letting their cat sit out in the open? ANONYMOUS You break it; you bought it. “And your little dog, too,” growled the Wicked Witch of the West. The cat is free to sit on its porch with regal impunity.

Question: What season was the hunt started in?

He started the hunt last summer at open houses. There was always “that essential element that kept you from continuing,” he said. Usually it was size. He was coming from a 5,400-square-foot five-bedroom house, and every one-bedroom he saw seemed small. Places with sufficient space were going for well over $1 million. In one case, he intended to bid, but was told “there are already three offers beyond the asking price,” he said. “This does not happen in Florida.” The mother of an employee at García Media was a friend of Lisa Greenblatt, a saleswoman at Douglas Elliman, who helped him with his search.

Question: What kind of instruments will be played at the Welles symposium?

Ms. Dow said she was struck by Welles’s account of a wine-soaked session with Ernest Hemingway, who had just won the Nobel Prize for literature. “It should have gone to Isak Dinesen,” Hemingway said, according to Ms. Dow’s description of Welles’s remembrance. Ms. Dow said it would take perhaps five months to arrange the papers for public use. In early June, Ms. Kodar is expected to attend a university-sponsored Welles symposium that will honor donors to the film archive. It promises to be an unusual affair, one that Welles may have appreciated. One presentation, Mr. Hallman said, will feature music composed for an ensemble that plays toy instruments. Ms. Kodar, he added, may have something else up her sleeve. “She has asked us to tell people she’s planning to do magic tricks with the audience,” Mr. Hallman said.

Question: Who is assembling he case?

With abundant evidence of fraud available at both the federal and state levels, it’s perplexing that the federal government has not promptly granted loan forgiveness for at least some of the people with complaints involving fraud. The Education Department says that the Heald College claims will be decided in November, because the government has made a clear finding of misconduct by the school. The remaining claims, it says, will be decided as swiftly and fairly as possible. The risk is that the department’s legendary bureaucracy will drag its feet and make it difficult for deserving plaintiffs to get relief. In addition, the department needs to do a much better job of reaching out to people who have potential claims. It has promised to build its cases on evidence already assembled by state attorneys general, which should speed the process. When evidence of widespread fraud is uncovered, the department should give broad relief to all the damaged parties.

Question: What action by the Pilgrims could be perceived as an act of violence?

The Pilgrims and their fellow travelers weren’t terrorists, of course (despite an instance of putting the severed head of a perceived enemy on a pole), but they and those who followed certainly did effect a cultural conquest. Some versions of their story play that down, partly because a plague resulting from earlier contact with Westerners brought widespread death to coastal Indians in the Northeast just before the Mayflower arrived. God, it seemed to some, killed off the Indians to make way for the whites, a view this program corrects.

Question: Who is the director of The Martian?

‘Love’ (No rating, 2:14) Telling the story of a romance entirely through explicit sex, the Argentine director Gaspar Noé creates a visual tranquillity and dreamy eroticism that strips the film of salaciousness and highlights the only conversation it cares about: The one that runs from between the legs to between the ears. (Catsoulis) ★ ‘The Martian’ (PG-13, 2:21) Matt Damon stars in Ridley Scott’s space western and blissed-out cosmic high about an American astronaut who, like a latter-day Robinson Crusoe, learns to survive on his own island of despair. Funny, loose and optimistic. (Dargis) ‘Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials’ (PG-13, 2:11) The second in a series about a racially diverse but otherwise interchangeable set of teenagers adds nothing new to the unkillable dystopian genre, but it’s at least less ponderous than its predecessor. The many chases and ludicrous narrow escapes offer respectable doses of adrenaline. (John Williams) ‘Meet the Patels’ (PG, 1:28) This tidy, easygoing documentary — about the efforts of Indian-born parents to marry off their prosperous son (the actor Ravi Patel) through assorted matchmaking means — is a fascinating, good-humored and sometimes dramatic examination of family dynamics. Though Mr. Patel is on camera most often (shot by his wry, understated foil, sister and co-director, Geeta), it’s his parents and the barely seen Geeta who prove most compelling. (Webster)

Question: who made a statement on twitter?

“The solutions are good for all as they stand,” Mr. Zarif said on Twitter. “There is no need to spin using ‘fact sheets’ so early on.” Reviving the economy is now the primary issue for most people. Mr. Rouhani has been leading an effort to bring down inflation, while the end of sanctions might mean a return to oil production of more than two million barrels per day, only half what Iran once produced but twice its output in recent years. “We need to wait for the final deal to be signed in order to see the positive effects on our economy,” said Hamidreza Taraghi, an analyst close to Ayatollah Khamenei. “But all in all, this statement is close to what we have been expecting.” Nader Karimi Joni, a journalist and former member of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, said European companies would come back and invest. He added, “The future looks bright.”

Question: According to the author, who would have a hard time preaching original Catholic text about sex?

Religions are at their best when they deal with the theological realm or big global issues. Religions are at their worst when they muddle in sex, and question whom you can love. Many interpretations of Islam, regarding women, are an abomination. Mormons, until about an hour ago, had long made gays feel immoral and inferior — this from a religion where the founders were men who had 50 wives. Strict Catholic doctrine about sex, still on the books, could not be preached by Pope Francis with a straight face.

Question: Why were these emotions purposely conveyed in the subject of the passage?

Since the days of slavery, they argued, blacks had adopted an outward style of ingratiating deference that masked a seething anger. “As a sapling bent low stores energy for a violent backswing,” they wrote, “blacks bent double by oppression have stored energy which will be released in the form of rage — black rage, apocalyptic and final.” The book was unremittingly bleak by design. “This dismal tone has been deliberate,” the authors wrote in the final pages. “It has been an attempt to evoke a certain quality of depression and hopelessness in the reader and to stir these feelings. These are the most common feelings tasted by black people in America.”

Question: What is being aimed at young readers?

The trend to portray true-to-life gay characters in works intended for a wider audience extends to comic books aimed at younger readers, too. Published by an imprint of Boom! Studios, Lumberjanes is a series about the summer camp experiences of five girls, two of whom have a crush on each other. “We wanted to have queer characters but not oversexualize them,” says Shannon Watters, an editor at Boom! Studios and a creator of Lumberjanes, adding that she wants to represent regular children at an age when they are figuring out who they are. “The normalization of queer young people was important,” she said. Ms. Watters said she appreciated the efforts of more mainstream publications to do the same. “It is very encouraging to see the decisions that DC and Marvel have made in giving marginalized creators more of platform to tell their stories,” she said, “but we still have a long way to go.”

Question: What is the name of the Peninsula?

But the shark disappeared, the current turned at midmorning Tuesday, and for the final five hours of the swim, the athletes swam with the current, their every stroke infused with the momentum of the ocean. Warmuth took the final shift as the Deep Enders closed in on the Palos Verdes Peninsula. “I was just gliding across the water,” Warmuth said. “It was very fluid; the water was warm and glassy. It was an amazing feeling.” With the Palos Verdes bluffs looming larger with every stroke, the sea became murky as four-foot waves swelled and thrashed the rocky shore. Behind Warmuth, her teammates dived into the water and swam to shore in a V formation, symbolizing victory. Warmuth checked the waves, timed it right and let the tide push her onto the rocks, crusted with razor-sharp barnacles. At 4:52 p.m. Tuesday — 33 hours 37 minutes 26 seconds after the relay began — Warmuth took the required three steps clear of the tide line, not far from the Terranea Resort, in Rancho Palos Verdes. Soon her friends joined her on shore. Having navigated swirling seas, thick with jellyfish and as deep as 1,000 feet in some places, they hugged and celebrated, elated and exhausted.

Question: Which senator said he would oppose the Iran nuclear deal?

WASHINGTON —  Senator Benjamin L. Cardin, the senior Democrat on the Foreign Relations Committee and a prominent Jewish voice in Congress, said on Friday that he would oppose the Iran nuclear deal, increasing the chance that President Obama will have to use a veto to prevent it from being scuttled. While the president has been working to gain enough support to block a vote on a resolution to disapprove the deal and thus avoid a diplomatic embarrassment, Mr. Cardin’s announcement puts opponents close to securing enough votes to overcome any filibuster. Senator Mitch McConnell, the majority leader, said on Friday that it would be “outrageous” for Democrats to prevent a vote.

Question: Who won the Stanley Cup along with Crosby in 2009?

Pittsburgh’s 4-1 loss to Washington on Monday night in Sullivan’s debut dropped the Penguins to 15-11-3. They were tied for ninth in the Eastern Conference going into Tuesday night’s games and were 27th in goals per game despite ranking fifth in shots. Their power play, with a unit littered with All-Stars, is 28th, ahead of only Calgary and Arizona. Enter Sullivan, who spent a decade grinding out a career as a defensive-minded forward before getting into coaching. He now finds himself trying to get Pittsburgh’s highly capable, occasionally high-strung players working in unison. Nowhere are Pittsburgh’s struggles more evident than in Sidney Crosby’s prolonged funk. Crosby, a two-time Hart Trophy winner, is on pace for career lows in goals and points, and his team appears destined for a four-month battle just to reach the postseason let alone make a serious run at Stanley Cup to bookend the one he and fellow superstar Evgeni Malkin won in 2009 back when a dynasty seemed almost inevitable.

Question: When did the Smilin' Jack comics run?

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: Which parties are on the rights?

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 kind of talk show did the author mention being on?

SEOUL, South Korea —  North Korean defectors can usually tell when other defectors are lying about their past. As a panelist on a South Korean talk show that features female defectors like me, I heard other panelists complain privately that a few of the guests must have been embellishing their stories. It’s not uncommon to hear defectors claim they graduated from a prestigious North Korean university, for example, while the rest of the details of their lives suggest this was highly unlikely. If defectors say they had high-level connections in Pyongyang or came from an esteemed institution in the North, they can gain better employment in the South, where life can be very difficult for North Koreans.

Question: What else did the man see when he was on the other side?

The less expensive safety measures — automatic gates, lights, bells and signs — are largely in place in the New York region. A challenge is creating crossings that can overcome the lesser impulses of human nature in a part of the country where many people do not see patience as a virtue. In Brentwood, N.Y., on Monday, a couple on foot watched as the safety gate at the Washington Avenue crossing, one of the most dangerous in the region, lowered in front of them, its bells sounding and lights flashing. After one Long Island Rail Road train passed through, heading east, the man and woman ducked underneath the crossing gate. The man glanced toward the train receding in the distance and suddenly jumped back. “There’s another train coming!” he yelled.

Question: What borough is this church in?

After a newborn was abandoned by his mother and discovered in the crèche of a Roman Catholic church in Queens last month, calls and emails offering help poured into the parish and to New York City’s child welfare agency. Many people, including members of the church’s own congregation, asked whether they might be able to adopt the child.

Question: what does the entire legal battle center around?

A federal judge on Wednesday denied Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis a stay of his order requiring her office to issue marriage licenses to all eligible couples. It was the latest setback for the clerk, who objects to same-sex marriage on religious grounds and was previously jailed rather than issue licenses to gay couples. Ms. Davis has repeatedly asked Judge David L. Bunning of Federal District Court to put a hold on his orders requiring the issuance of marriage licenses while she appeals. Her latest request stems from Judge Bunning’s order making it clear that his decision applied to all eligible couples and was not limited to the couples who had sued her. Judge Bunning said Wednesday that without the clarification, he would have "left other eligible couples at the mercy of Davis’s ‘no marriages policy.’ " He wrote, “Such an approach would not only create piecemeal litigation, it would be inconsistent with basic principles of justice and fairness." Ms. Davis spent five days in jail earlier in September. Her release was conditioned in part on her not interfering with the issuance of marriage licenses by her office.

Question: Who was this dinner focused on?

Answer: Mr. Ghani

<hl> The ties that bound Mr. Ghani to many of the dinner guests on Tuesday reflected a little-noticed story in America’s longest war: After more than 13 years of nation-building in Afghanistan, much of the American national security establishment is intimately familiar with many of the nation’s most senior officials, Mr. Ghani foremost among them, and loath to see a hasty withdrawal lead to a repeat of what has happened in Iraq. <hl>

Question: In what county will it be more difficult to modify the cars?

WOLFSBURG, Germany —  Volkswagen said on Wednesday that it would be able to bring its diesel cars into line with European clean-air standards by updating engine software and installing a small, tube-shaped part roughly the same diameter as the cardboard tube in a roll of paper towels. The technical patch that Volkswagen presented at company headquarters here is valid only for Europe, where it will be installed beginning next year. Modifying Volkswagen diesel cars sold in the United States will be more complicated because of stricter rules on emissions of nitrogen oxides, pollutants harmful to the environment and human health.

Question: When was Grapefruit: A Book of Instructions and Drawings released?

In 1971, Yoko Ono gave herself an imaginary solo show at MoMA by means of a few cut-and-paste photographs and some strategically placed newspaper advertisements. More than 40 years later, the real thing has come to pass and it was worth the wait. Enhanced by films and a soundtrack, the show is largely archival, with lots of works on paper, including the 151 hand-typed note cards that, in 1964, became “Grapefruit: A Book of Instructions and Drawings,” and demonstrate how radical this artist’s early experiments with language and performance were. A 2015 sculpture rounds things out. Sure to put you off balance, it’s a reminder of what a wake-up-to-life call that art can be, a message that this underestimated artist has been delivering for years. Holland Cotter (Through Sept. 7.

Question: What year did she become the youngest captain in the Sheriff's Department?

In the Sheriff’s Department, she became the youngest captain in 1983, and, in 1997, was promoted to chief deputy. This was her first run for political office. Ms. Hennessy said that she did not see herself as an activist like Mr. Mirkarimi, but as more of an executive and administrator. “I’m open to ideas,” she said. “I don’t have to be the one to come up with them.” In 2008, she was appointed by Mayor Gavin Newsom, now the lieutenant governor of California, to be the director of the San Francisco Department of Emergency Management, overseeing emergency response teams for the Police and Fire Departments. And in 2012, she was appointed interim sheriff when Mr. Mirkarimi was suspended after a domestic dispute with his wife. This summer Mr. Mirkarimi announced that the department would allow transgender prisoners to be housed in jail according to the gender with which they identify. This caused consternation among deputies who said that they had not had enough involvement in determining how the policy would work.

Question: How many people in South Sudan are facing a food crisis?

Three United Nations agencies reported Thursday that 3.9 million people in South Sudan, roughly a third of the population, now face “severe food insecurity” because of the mayhem and disruptions caused by that country’s nearly two-year-old civil war. A statement issued jointly by the agencies, Unicef, the World Food Program and the Food and Agriculture Organization, also said that at least 30,000 people in Unity State, in the north-central part of South Sudan, had fallen into the “catastrophe” phase of food insecurity — the most dire — and are “living in extreme conditions and are facing starvation and death.” Some families, the statement said, are subsisting on one meal a day of fish and water lilies. Despite a number of peace pledges made by the warring sides, fighting has persisted in South Sudan. Serge Tissot, the Food and Agriculture Organization’s representative in South Sudan, said in the statement that “livelihoods have been severely affected by high inflation rates, market disruption, conflict-related displacement and loss of livestock and agricultural production.”

Question: Where did the family have lunch?

One Saturday afternoon this past winter, when my family and I were having lunch at the Metropolitan Museum of Art during a ritual viewing of mummies and armor with our 5-year-old son, I noticed a young man a few tables away staring at us. He had a notebook and began to sketch; he drew intensely and quickly. I was flattered and vaguely unsettled; he looked like someone in a Todd Solondz movie perhaps up to something not entirely sane. When we got up to leave, he followed us, continuing to draw as he kept pace. He showed my husband the results, explaining that he was a graduate student. My husband accepted the drawing and gave him $10, a gift for which he seemed appreciative.

Question: What was Mr. Rodham's former lawyer's name?

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 does static scoring bias?

Yet the assumption of unchanged G.D.P. also has one notable drawback: It is patently false. Much economic theory and empirical research confirm that fiscal policy influences the course of the economy. Indeed, having an economic impact is a big part of why policy makers use the tools at their disposal, whether it is the tax cuts of Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush or the stimulus package of Mr. Obama. It seems somehow churlish for Congress’s economists to assume that a policy change won’t accomplish its goal simply to make their jobs easier. Moreover, static scoring biases the analysis of proposed policy changes. If a tax cut promotes growth, for example, it will lose less revenue than an estimate based on unchanged G.D.P. suggests. For most cases, this effect is not large enough to make tax cuts pay for themselves, but it often makes tax cuts less costly than they first appear.

Question: State Senator Liz Krueger belongs to what political party?

Currently, the state has a “mansion tax” of 1 percent on the sales of homes over $1 million. The de Blasio administration is calling for an additional 1 percent tax on the sale of homes in New York City over $1.75 million, which would rise to 1.5 percent tax on sales over $5 million. State Senator Liz Krueger, a Democrat from Manhattan, said there may be a “window of opportunity” in Albany right now, where no one wants to be seen to be favoring programs that are viewed as giveaways to real estate interests. “Everything is very fluid right now,” she said. Ms. Krueger supports the de Blasio administration’s push to strengthen rent regulations, but she said the 421-a tax abatement program should be scrapped. “Why not keep the money and spend it on programs that work,” she said.

Question: Whose speech was Josh Weeks in the audience for?

“Without these unions in the state, you’re not going to make what you should,” said Josh Weeks, a union carpenter from Meta, Mo., who was in the audience for Mr. Nixon’s speech. “In my opinion, if you want to be in a right-to-work state, you should move to one.” The override effort will hinge on whether supporters of the legislation can persuade enough Republicans who sided with the unions during the regular session to join their cause. Two-thirds majorities are needed in both chambers to overturn Mr. Nixon’s veto. The House vote in May fell 17 votes short of that mark.

Question: What does Mr. Cameron say further action from the military needed for?

He has also said that further military action was necessary to stem terrorist acts like the ones that struck Paris on Nov. 13, leaving 130 dead, and that it would be an essential component of any diplomatic solution to the Syrian civil war, which has displaced up to half that country’s population. Mr. Cameron also argued that airstrikes on Islamic State in Syria will not make Britain any more vulnerable.

Question: What religion was RBG part of?

RBG: There were many firms who put up sign-up sheets that said, “Men Only.” And I had three strikes against me. First, I was Jewish, and the Wall Street firms were just beginning to accept Jews. Then I was a woman. But the killer was my daughter Jane, who was 4 by then. PG: They didn’t even hide why they were rejecting you? GS: No. I tried to get a much less prestigious job, at Time magazine. And they made it very clear that women researched, and men wrote. No exceptions, in spite of Clare Boothe Luce. PG: You remind me of my grandmother’s line: Rejection is the best thing that can happen. It pushes us. There might not be a Ms. magazine or Notorious R.B.G. without it.

Question: What was the average viewership for the first few episodes?

Viewers have watched linebacker Jaylon Smith bowling, receiver Corey Robinson playing the ukulele and singing and Day and cornerback Cole Luke coaching a women’s flag-football team. During their off week, crews accompanied some players home. Espinoza said the network was pleased with the weekly 30-minute show. “There’s been a lot of drama within the program,” he said. “Some unexpected injuries, some come-from-behind wins. We couldn’t have scripted it any better.” The first three episodes averaged 663,000 viewers across all platforms. That compares favorably with Showtime’s most popular sports series, “Inside the NFL,” and the show is the third-most-watched program through its streaming service, Espinoza said.

Question: Where is Bruno's located?

These enablers have given the unusual, original pizzas and visually arresting appetizers at Bruno more media attention than you may expect for a fledgling East Village pizzeria whose chefs have never run a full restaurant kitchen. In the middle of September, New York magazine’s website ran an article claiming that Bruno’s $18 plate of bread and fermented mozzarella “might just be the city’s most impressive new bread course.” This was a scoop; nobody else had written about the bread. It may well be that nobody else had tasted the bread, either. It wasn’t on the menu then. An infrequent special, it wasn’t on the menu the last time I ate there, about a week ago.
