Question: Where is the wheat fields located?

It is a drone, and its pilot is a farmer named Jean Hediger, one of a growing number of American agrarians who have taken to using unmanned aircraft — better known for their use in war-torn lands far from the wheat fields of eastern Colorado — to gather information about the health of their crops. In doing so, these farmers are breaking the law. It is illegal to fly drones for commercial purposes without permission from federal authorities, and those who do so risk penalties in the thousands of dollars. But the technology holds such promise that many farmers are using it anyway, dotting the country’s rural skies with whirring devices saddled with tiny video cameras. “This has really become a big deal in ag,” said Ms. Hediger, who is in her early 60s. “Our intent is pure,” she added. “Without being able to fly drones over our fields, they are asking us to remain in the dark ages.”

Question: What had Dr. Ohayon done early research in?

Dr. Coggan had earlier grown disappointed with the “establishment” science in which, he says, academic research and corporate profit priorities are increasingly indistinguishable. He bootstrapped the research laboratory with his own money and now supports it with funding from a variety of private individual contributions and scientific research grants. NeuroLinx now supports a range of research projects, including an exploration of the way dolphins sleep, an effort to create a computer simulation of the ubiquitous lab worm C. elegans (known as the Open Worm project), and an exploration of nerve damage in diseases like multiple sclerosis. Dr. Ohayon had done early research in the field of autonomous agents based on neural networks, computing models inspired by biological nervous systems, but stopped for almost a decade because of worries about military applications of the technology.

Question: Harry Reid is holds what position?

WASHINGTON —  The deal is as politically remarkable as it is substantive: a long-term plan to finance health care for older Americans, pay doctors who accept Medicare and extend popular health care programs for children and the poor. It was cobbled together by none other than House Speaker John A. Boehner and Representative Nancy Pelosi, the leader of House Democrats, who rarely agree on anything, with the apparent blessing of a majority of their respective members. Then along came a surprising impediment: Senator Harry Reid of Nevada, the minority leader, along with other Senate Democrats, objected to abortion restrictions in the bill and limits to an extension of a health insurance program for children. They have begun to undermine what was poised to be a sweeping bipartisan solution to several policy problems that have long vexed Congress. It is a role in which Mr. Reid is becoming increasingly comfortable as he exploits his leverage in the minority to thwart his political opponents, even if that means an unusual split with Ms. Pelosi.

Question: What was an art piece that stood out from the rest?

In 1962, Myanmar — which was called Burma and is wedged high up in Southeast Asia between India and China — closed its doors to the world and threw away the keys for almost 40 years. Under surveillance-obsessed military rule, little from outside could get in, and little from inside could get out, including art. There was Myanmar art in the West — England and Germany had made out like the colonial bandits they were — but very little in the United States. Finally, in the early 2000s, Myanmar re-established cautious international contact and began to advertise, in the interest of tourism, its cultural riches. Loans of art became possible, among the first a big one to the Metropolitan Museum for “Lost Kingdoms: Hindu-Buddhist Sculpture of Early Southeast Asia” last year. Even then, at the last minute, promised pieces were held back, though extraordinary things came through, the largest being a monumental stone stele, carved on both sides with mysterious, apparently non-Buddhist figures and dating from around the fourth century.

Question: What does AMC want to match the quality of?

AMC, however, is more reluctant to switch game plans. “With all the changes of the world today — whether it’s technology, volume of programming, fewer and fewer shows breaking through — what we remain focused on are many of the things that got us to the dance in the first place,” Mr. Collier said. That strategy, he said, is matching the quality of premium cable on basic cable, and becoming a home for the industry’s best writers and showrunners. AMC had a small setback in the last few years when it was forced to adjust a development process that was described by some in the industry as onerous. The system, dismissively referred to as the “bake-off,” required producers to sketch out in extensive detail what their prospective show would look like after the pilot — forecasting what would happen several seasons down the line. Even then, AMC was not guaranteed to put the show on the air.

Question: How many Americans watched the Super Bowl on TV?

So it went in 2015, when the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks, the top teams in professional football (the American version), met in Super Bowl XLIX in February in Phoenix. They kept it compelling down to the final minute, which featured an interception for the ages as well as a brawl that might have been the most watched brawl in history, in light of the record United States television audience of 120 million. Naturally, there were other candidates in the great game department. Japan’s stirring upset of South Africa in their first match of pool play at the Rugby World Cup in England in September was a shock and an emotional tour de force. But it ultimately did not reshuffle the deck: South Africa went on to finish third while Japan failed to advance even to the quarterfinals.

Question: Which race of women were being sterilized without their permission?

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.

Question: Who is the Chief executive of BlackRock?

“We live in a low rate environment in which insurance companies and pension funds have to invest their money,” said Laurence D.

Question: In his own words, why does Mr. Rodham prefer to deal through the Clinton Foundation?

On and off for two decades, the affable Mr. Rodham has tried to use his connections with his sister and his brother-in-law, former President Bill Clinton, to further a business career that has seen more failures than successes. The connections to the Clintons have given Mr. Rodham, a self-described “facilitator,” a unique appeal and a range of opportunities, like addressing Chinese investor conferences and joining an advisory board of a company seeking permission to mine for gold in Haiti. But his business dealings have often invited public scrutiny and uncomfortable questions for the Clintons as Mr. Rodham has cycled through a variety of ventures, leveraging his ties to them and sometimes directly seeking their help. When Mr. Clinton worked as a co-chairman of Haiti’s earthquake recovery commission, Mr. Rodham and his partners sought a $22 million deal to rebuild homes in the country. In court proceedings three years ago in an unrelated lawsuit, Mr. Rodham explained how “a guy in Haiti” had “donated” 10,000 acres of land to him and described how he had leaned on Mr. Clinton to get the rebuilding project funded amid bureaucratic delays. “I deal through the Clinton Foundation. That gets me in touch with the Haitian officials,” Mr. Rodham said, according to a transcript of his testimony. “I hound my brother-in-law, because it’s his fund that we’re going to get our money from. And he can’t do it until the Haitian government does it.

Question: what position did Alastair Cook return to?

“To be successful against Australia, it’s certainly not going to be by taking a backward step or allowing them just to dictate terms,” he said last week. “You’ve got to go out and fight fire with fire, be positive and aggressive, and the individuals have to play their own natural game.” That has not always been the English way, but there were signs of a new freedom in its just-concluded matches against New Zealand. Billed as little more than a curtain-raiser for the Ashes, the two tests and five one-day internationals against the Kiwis left most fans wanting more. England’s under-fire test captain, Alastair Cook, returned to form as a batsman. Often criticized for his ultra-orthodox leadership, he also showed signs of greater tactical imagination. “I think Alastair is at a phase of his career where he is not afraid to try new things to try and get success,” said his predecessor as captain, Andrew Strauss, who now is England’s director of cricket.

Question: Who has said that many C.E.Os are revealing themselves as meditators?

Will it? Meditation is exploding in popularity. There are classes to learn meditation in all its flavors: mindfulness-based stress reduction, transcendental meditation, Zen and more. There are meditation events with power-networking opportunities built in. Drop by The Path in New York, and you can mingle with people in tech, film, fashion and the arts. Pay a visit to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, and you get to do an early morning guided meditation with global leaders. As Arianna Huffington has said, C.E.O.s are increasingly coming out of the closet — as meditators. Before we’re all swept into this fad, we ought to ask why meditation is useful. So I polled a group of meditation researchers, teachers and practitioners on why they recommend it. I liked their answers, but none of them were unique to meditation. Every benefit of the practice can be gained through other activities. This is the conclusion from an analysis of 47 trials of meditation programs, published last year in JAMA Internal Medicine: “We found no evidence that meditation programs were better than any active treatment (i.e., drugs, exercise and other behavioral therapies).”

Question: Members of what foundation wanted to cancel their exhibition?

VENICE — When Mosul, Iraq’s second-largest city, fell to the Islamic State in June, members of the Ruya Foundation, an Iraqi nonprofit that set up the country’s pavilion at the last Venice Biennale, considered scrapping all plans for this year’s exhibition. “With all this carnage and death and rape, how could you even think of culture?” said Tamara Chalabi, chairwoman of the foundation. In the end, the plans went forward because it was “a statement,” she said. “When there’s so much else being destroyed, this is also one way of trying to preserve culture.”

Question: How soon was a second date planned?

“He knew the menu, so he took charge with the ordering, but not in an arrogant, controlling way,” she said. “He was very polite, and I thought to myself that unless I find out that this guy is totally crazy, he’s the perfect guy for me.” Mr. Kaba found Ms. Dawson to be very engaging and always smiling. “She made me feel very comfortable,” he said.

Question: What did people express about equality for women?

PG: How did people respond when you first raised concerns about equality for women? GS: They were either disinterested or said it was impossible. My classic experience was an editor who said, “O.K., you can publish an article saying women are equal.” But right next to it, he would publish an article that said that they weren’t — to be objective. RBG: The concern was that if a woman was doing gender equality, her chances of making it to tenure in the law school were diminished. It was considered frivolous.

Question: What is one common type of short-term financing?

The issue is that short-term financing like construction loans, which are usually 12 months or less, is exempt from existing disclosure requirements under the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, but disclosure requirements would apply under the new rules.

Question: Who started the craze for the adult coloring book in South Korea?

Ms. Basford has become something of a literary celebrity in South Korea, where “Secret Garden” has sold more than 430,000 copies, she says. The craze was kicked off in part, it seems, by a Korean pop star, Kim Ki-bum, who posted a delicately colored-in floral pattern from Ms. Basford’s book on Instagram, where he has 1.8 million followers. Part of the apparent appeal is the tactile, interactive nature of the books, which offer respite to the screen-weary. “People are really excited to do something analog and creative, at a time when we’re all so overwhelmed by screens and the Internet,” she said. “And coloring is not as scary as a blank sheet of paper or canvas. It’s a great way to de-stress.”

Question: What is the topic of this passage?

The cause was complications of prostate cancer, said his son Geoffrey. Dr. Grier and his co-author, who together ran a psychiatric clinic in San Francisco, opened the eyes of a broad audience to the psychological rather than the economic consequences of racism, drawing on case studies to illustrate their points. “Black Rage,” published by Basic Books in 1968, laid out in unsparing terms the psychic tightrope that black Americans walked, their self-image, family structures and worldview distorted by the weight of white oppression.

Question: What day was the closed door meeting

In an unusual arrangement, Mr. Silver would not quit his post. Instead, he would temporarily delegate his duties as speaker to a group of senior Assembly members. Under the plan, which the Assembly’s Democratic caucus is to consider in a closed-door meeting on Monday afternoon, Mr. Silver would “not specifically step down, but step back,” according to a person briefed on the situation, who insisted on anonymity because the plan had not yet been presented to the caucus. Immediately after Mr. Silver’s arrest on Thursday, Democrats in the Assembly rallied behind him. Mr. Silver, who has proved adept over the years at withstanding ethical and legal scrutiny, predicted he would be vindicated.

Question: What president was swept aside last month?

This lack of reaction was symptomatic of why the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan was swept aside last month — the first time an incumbent president has been successfully voted out of office in the history of our nation. For too long they ruled, not governed, and in doing so had become so focused on their own self-interest and embroiled in corruption that the duty to react to the anguish suffered by their citizens had become alien to them. My administration, which will take office on May 29, will act differently — indeed it is the very reason we have been elected. This must begin with honesty as to whether the Chibok girls can be rescued. Currently their whereabouts remain unknown. We do not know the state of their health or welfare, or whether they are even still together or alive. As much as I wish to, I cannot promise that we can find them: to do so would be to offer unfounded hope, only to compound the grief if, later, we find we cannot match such expectation. But I say to every parent, family member and friend of the children that my government will do everything in its power to bring them home.

Question: What are the two examples that the lawyer gave?

Justice Kagan said that false statements may be damage enough. “Why isn’t the dissemination of false information about you in a credit report,” she asked, “perfectly sufficient if Congress says that’s a concrete injury?” Andrew J. Pincus, a lawyer for Spokeo, said suits should be allowed only if plaintiffs can show the concrete injury generally required to establish standing to sue. He gave two examples: harm to credit or a missed job opportunity. Justice Kagan responded that people almost never know why a bank or potential employer turned them down. “I mean,” she said, “it’s actually the quintessential kind of injury that you will never be able to detect and surely not to prove.”

Question: Which party believes the deal to be unacceptable?

“I feel very bad, because fundamentally we’ve been humiliated, and we are going somewhere that is not sustainable,” Mr. Papantoniou said. “The austerity will begin again. I don’t know the details of the deal, but of what I have seen, I see that we have a dead end in front of us.” In Athens, Mr. Tsipras spent most of the day behind closed doors meeting with party officials.

Question: What did W. McIntyre Burnham say?

But their rigid opposition to animal research in particular may come at a steep price. “They don’t want to play the game,” said W. McIntyre Burnham, a neuropharmacologist at the University of Toronto, with whom Dr. Ohayon studied. “They may be the wave of the future, but I think they may also have trouble getting support.” The two came to the idea of an alternative approach to neuroscience on a backpacking trip on Vancouver Island in 2011. Dr. Lam was ending a postdoctoral fellowship, and the two scientists were worried about the direction of neuroscience. As it turned out, they were not the only ones. Eventually they found a kindred spirit in the neuroscientist Jay S. Coggan. The Green Neuroscience Laboratory is affiliated with — and shares offices with — the NeuroLinx Research Institute, which he founded.

Question: What type of percussion was used to accompany the chamber tone poem "Origin of the Harp"?

The concert, led by Mr. Milarsky, opened with Mr. Adès’s “Origin of the Harp,” whose glittering surfaces were dulled to an ambiguous hue in this tentative reading. An early work inspired by a painting of the same name by the Irish artist Daniel Maclise, this enigmatic chamber tone poem is scored for clarinets, violas and cellos, instruments whose dark sonorities combine to luminous effect, along with percussion, including a rainstick. George Benjamin’s “Three Inventions for Chamber Orchestra,” a glistening, texturally rich work, fared better, its complexity revealed in clear detail here. Completed in 1995 as a tribute to Messiaen and Alexander Goehr, Mr. Benjamin’s mentors, it features colorful use of winds and brass (including contrabass clarinet, fluegelhorn and euphonium) and harp (an instrument conspicuously absent from Mr. Adès’s piece), with low rumbling sonorities and jittery fragments in the strings, punctuated by gongs.

Question: Mr. Silver was invited to speak to how many residents at the St. Barbara's Church

In June, the advocacy group New Yorkers for Parks released a critical report comparing the management of capital projects by the parks department with that of other public agencies. While Mr. Silver questioned the fairness of some of the comparisons, he nonetheless said that the slow pace of construction would be a chief focus of his first year as commissioner. Tupper Thomas, executive director of New Yorkers for Parks, called the changes “a great start.” Ms. Thomas previously served as the president of the Prospect Park Alliance and the Prospect Park administrator for the parks department. In both capacities, she saw how long it took to finish projects. She said she especially approved of the idea of standardizing design for certain things, like restrooms, rather than creating each one from scratch. “It totally makes sense,” she said. “You work with the guys in the technical shops who say, ‘Don’t use that flushometer; it doesn’t work.’ It saves time, and the plumbers know what valves to get.” Others, however, are waiting for more aggressive changes, particularly in the area of procurement. No fewer than six city agencies get involved in bidding. Matthew Marienthal, an organizer for East Brooklyn Congregations, a coalition of churches and nonprofit groups, said Mr. Silver should “take the lead” in reforming the procurement process, even if it meant “creating some tension” with the mayor. Last month, the group invited Mr. Silver to speak to 650 residents assembled at St. Barbara’s Church in Bushwick, Brooklyn. They had won pledges from the parks department last year to renovate two neighborhood spaces — Heckscher Playground and Green Central Knoll Park — and they wanted to know when the projects would be finished. Mr. Silver said that Heckscher would be done in spring 2017 and Green Central Knoll in October 2017. Work, however, has not started on either park. Adriane Williams, a leader of East Brooklyn Congregations, told Mr. Silver at the meeting, “We think a process where the most simple of fixes take three years is no process at all, just a mess.”

Answer: 650

Question: Who did Office Munoz arrest?

Officer Munoz, 32, of Suffern, N.Y., pleaded not guilty as he was formally charged before Justice Marcy L. Kahn in State Supreme Court in Manhattan. His lawyer, Stephen C. Worth, said the officer was justified in making the arrest and should never have been indicted. “We look forward to his exoneration,” he said. The charges stem from an encounter on March 12 outside La Casa Del Mofongo, a nightspot in Washington Heights, where Officer Munoz arrested Jason Disisto, 21, on charges of disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and interfering with a police investigation. The officer later said that Mr. Disisto had crouched in a fighting stance, lunged at him and swung a fist before he was arrested.

Question: What does a reliable government provide to avoid a cash scramble?

One answer is that issuing debt is a way to pay for useful things, and we should do more of that when the price is right. The United States suffers from obvious deficiencies in roads, rails, water systems and more; meanwhile, the federal government can borrow at historically low interest rates. So this is a very good time to be borrowing and investing in the future, and a very bad time for what has actually happened: an unprecedented decline in public construction spending adjusted for population growth and inflation. Beyond that, those very low interest rates are telling us something about what markets want. I’ve already mentioned that having at least some government debt outstanding helps the economy function better. How so? The answer, according to M.I.T.’s Ricardo Caballero and others, is that the debt of stable, reliable governments provides “safe assets” that help investors manage risks, make transactions easier and avoid a destructive scramble for cash. Now, in principle the private sector can also create safe assets, such as deposits in banks that are universally perceived as sound. In the years before the 2008 financial crisis Wall Street claimed to have invented whole new classes of safe assets by slicing and dicing cash flows from subprime mortgages and other sources. But all of that supposedly brilliant financial engineering turned out to be a con job: When the housing bubble burst, all that AAA-rated paper turned into sludge. So investors scurried back into the haven provided by the debt of the United States and a few other major economies. In the process they drove interest rates on that debt way down.

Question: Which sister is described as "mellow"?

For good reasons, Serena, 33, has been everyone’s reference point this year. She won the Australian Open, then the French Open and then Wimbledon, and is the talk of the town here. All of that attention could be annoying for an elder sister who once shared the spotlight and now must stand in the shadows to watch her sister command it. Yet Venus hasn’t let her sister’s dominance distract her. “It’s easy,” Venus said. “I have to go to practice, and I have to get it in. When I play my match, I can’t think about anything else except what I’m doing on my side of the net.” Venus is mellow that way, always has been, and is reverential to her sister when need be. She never bites on questions searching for sibling rivalry, and never changes her demeanor. In answering one of the few questions asked to her on Friday about Serena, Venus recalled what her matches against Serena were like when they were young. “I used to always win in the early days,” she said, prompting laughter.

Question: What contract was ratified last week?

If the union leaders approve, the deal would next be voted on by G.M.’s U.A.W. members. In a statement, the union president, Dennis Williams, praised the accord, saying, “We believe that this agreement will present stable long-term significant wage gains and job security commitments to U.A.W. members now and in the future.” No details were disclosed, but in its statement the union suggested that the tentative agreement used the wage-progression formula agreed to in the Fiat Chrysler contract that was ratified last week. In that agreement, entry-level workers eventually reach pay parity with more senior counterparts. But the wage-tier issue is not as prominent at G.M. because the carmaker employs less than half the number of entry-level employees that Fiat Chrysler does.

Question: For how many years did Barney Frank serve in Congress?

9 P.M. (Showtime) COMPARED TO WHAT? THE IMPROBABLE JOURNEY OF BARNEY FRANK (2015) Retirement, according to the cranky Mr. Frank, has some benefits. “I don’t even have to pretend to try to be nice to people I don’t like,” that Massachusetts representative and Democrat said before stepping down in 2013, tapping into what Rachel Maddow called “a sense of humor that he wields like a wrecking ball.” This documentary chronicles Mr. Frank’s 32 turbulent years in Congress, where he was chairman of the Financial Services Committee as Wall Street was imploding. He also became the first sitting member to marry a same-sex partner when, in 2012, he and Jim Ready promised to love each other “for better or for worse, on MSNBC or on Fox.” (Image: Mr. Frank, center, and Mr. Ready, right)

Question: How many licenses are allowed?

At the meeting, Mr. Law noted that the board “never said” that two casinos in the Southern Tier-Finger Lakes region could not work. But he and the other members of the board emphasized that the new proposals had to be an improvement on the earlier projects. State legislation allows for up to four casino licenses outside of the New York City area. But in recommending only three projects for a license last month, the board warned about the possibility of cannibalizing an already crowded gambling market in the Northeast. The board could still decide not to award a license.

Question: What did patients with low-sodium diets have more of in a 2008 study?

I wrote here at The Upshot not long ago about how a growing body of epidemiologic data was pointing out that low-salt diets might actually be unhealthy. But randomized controlled trials exist there, too. A 2008 study randomly assigned patients with congestive heart failure to either normal or low-sodium diets. Those on the low-sodium diet had significantly more hospital admissions. The “number needed to treat” for a normal-sodium diet above a low-sodium diet to prevent a hospital admission in this population was six — meaning that for every six people who are moved from a low-sodium diet to a normal diet, one hospital admission would be prevented. That’s a very strong finding.
