Question: In which country did the most recent G-20 meeting take place?

The applause, of course, is the short-term reason Mr. Putin is coming to the United Nations for the first time in a decade. Because of the Ukraine crisis, he was thrown out of the G-8 countries of leading economic powers, and felt so snubbed at the last G-20 meeting in Australia that he flew home early.

Question: What do Germans try to explain by looking to their past?

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: Who gave information on Americans consuming less sugary carbonated beverages?

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

Question: What does one of Mr. Norris's brothers in law do?

The question is how many of those there will be. Mr. Stewart, of the association that aids ex-prisoners, said initial job searches typically last between nine months and two years and tend to lead to work that is custodial, or related to the restaurant or lodging industries. One of Mr. Norris’s brothers-in-law is a shuttle-bus driver for a local hotel and will try to get him a job there, while another looks into some gardening work. “I’ll take the lowest honest job out there — I just want to get started,” Mr. Norris said. “Society doesn’t owe me anything. I owe society for dealing drugs.” Getting On

Question: What is the largest portion of the company's business about?

The company has sold about 100 devices to farmers and crop consultants — people who travel from farm to farm, deploying drones for growers. The largest portion of the company’s business, however, involves reading a drone’s data and turning it into something useful for the grower.

Question: Which leader believed that Vichy cured his rheumatism?

It was also in August that Marine Le Pen, the leader of France’s far-right National Front, expelled her father, Jean-Marie, from the party he co-founded for refusing to repudiate its anti-Semitic past, which she fears will damage her chances in the 2017 presidential election. Local residents point out that the National Front never established a strong following here, and that the president of the Auvergne region, René Souchon, is a Socialist. “Cautious, perhaps, but not xenophobic or nationalist” is how Mr. Gendre describes the relatively conservative politics of Vichy. In the second and final round of regional elections on Dec. 13, the right-of-center Republicans won with 51 percent of the vote. The National Front came in third with 20 percent. In 2008, the city hosted a European Union conference organized by Brice Hortefeux, President Nicolas Sarkozy’s minister of immigration and integration. Although 27 ministers and high-ranking representatives of the union attended, many in France were outraged by the choice of location. Before World War II, that choice would most likely have been applauded. Vichy was an established settlement in Roman times, and by the 17th century, its waters were already known for their curative powers. Napoleon III, believing that his rheumatism had been conquered there, commissioned the casino and the first grand hotels. One reason that the puppet government chose Vichy as its capital during World War II was its many hotels. The many architectural styles that rise from its well-preserved boulevards and streets prompted The Guardian to once refer to it as “a melancholy fragmentation of Bournemouth, Brighton, Bath, Baden Baden and Brigadoon.” The city’s longtime mayor, Claude Malhuret, a former president of Doctors Without Borders, seems, like many here, perplexed and slightly defensive over how to respond to the enduring stigma. “There are many stories about this city, and then there’s the truth,” he said, “because that period was very complicated and has been incorrectly defining this city for too long.”

Question: Why do women avoid calling themselves gamers?

Like men, about half of all women play video games. But men are far more likely to call themselves “gamers.” That’s according to a new Pew Research Center survey that found 48 percent of women play video games, just shy of the 50 percent of men who play. The gamer identity was far less attractive to women, however, with 6 percent of them adopting the label compared with 15 percent of men. Video game experts said it was no surprise that women are shunning an association with gaming culture as the community of hard-core players has become increasingly identified with sexist attitudes among its fringe members.

Question: What made the author unsure of whom to side with for several pages?

One of the strengths of the pacing is that for the first half of the book, the allies and villains are not completely distinguishable. The wasp queen calms Steve in a genuine way. Somebody else, whom the family calls Mr. Nobody, keeps calling the house and not saying anything. Despite my hunches, I found myself deliciously unsure whom to side with for a number of pages. In large part, this is due to the allure of Oppel’s imagery, which is striking and scary at once: A dissected wasp with nothing inside it. A knife grinder who drives slowly around the streets but has no customers. A toy phone answered with glee by Steve’s little sister. Occasional illustrations by the wonderful Jon Klassen, dark and secretive, only add to the mood.

Question: Who was elected as speaker of the New York State Assembly?

So it was that Mr. Heastie, the recently elected speaker of the New York State Assembly, was at a blood drive here in suburban Syracuse on Tuesday, gamely donating a pint in front of a group of somewhat perplexed phlebotomists and schedule-obsessed aides. And while donating blood — like politics itself — can make some people squeamish or faint, Mr. Heastie managed to give without passing out. “I’d rather by stabbed with a needle,” he said, “than pricked with a pin.” The stop at the Red Cross blood drive — held in the two-story lobby of Driver’s Village, a dealership north of Syracuse — was near the end of nearly a dozen stops that Mr. Heastie made at the start of a three-day visit upstate this week.

Question: What is the name of the world's largest mobile operating system?

Google is a mobile force in many different ways: In the United States and several other countries, search queries to Google on mobile devices now outrank search queries on desktop and laptop computers. It has the world’s largest mobile operating system, Android. It makes billions of dollars a year selling apps through the Google Play Store and owns many of the world’s most popular apps, such as YouTube. But that has created competing priorities because apps have also diluted its position in search. Google claimed 68 percent of mobile search revenue in the United States last year, according to the research firm eMarketer. That lead, while still substantial, was down from 81 percent in 2012, a decline projected to continue as apps occupy more of people’s time.

Question: From what group are the officials who contacted Pierre-Paul?

Mara said that various Giants officials had contacted Pierre-Paul since the accident, including Coach Tom Coughlin, who said on Thursday that his text to Pierre-Paul immediately after the accident went unanswered. “We’re all concerned about this young man first and foremost,” Coughlin said after a brief Giants workout. “But it is difficult to extend this concern when we feel like he should be here.” Like Mara, Coughlin said that Pierre-Paul’s absence would not sour his relationship with the team. “As far as souring, that’s not going to sour anything,” Coughlin said. “I am concerned about him as a young man and anxious to know exactly what he’s dealing with, and then we will know what we’re dealing with.”

Question: Who wrote to the editor?

Troy, Mich. To the Editor: While it is dismaying to imagine an elderly Atticus Finch as a racist, I do not find it to be at all implausible. It is one thing to defend an individual African-American, and another thing entirely to envision the demise of what was essentially a race-based caste system in the South. As a (white) child growing up in Houston in the 1960s, I was taken to visit relatives in the rural Mississippi Delta, where I often heard adults whom I respected express opinions similar to those reported in the book. Like the character Scout in “Watchman,” I found these views unfamiliar and repugnant. Yet I can easily imagine some of those people, like the fictional Atticus, defending Tom Robinson in the 1930s and 20 years later vehemently rejecting desegregation.

Question: What did Laxman Lal Karna say had to change in order to continue talks?

Laxman Lal Karna, a Madhesi political leader, said talks would not progress unless a curfew in parts of the southern plains was lifted and soldiers, who have been patrolling some of towns, returned to their barracks. In the past month, at least 36 people have been killed in protests over the draft constitution, including 11 police officers and a 2-year-old child. Schools, workplaces and shops have been shut for nearly a month in many of the southern districts.

Democrats also say that Mr. McConnell benefited from the pent-up demand he helped create by bottling up so much legislation as the leader of the minority. Undaunted, he points to the list of bills and the much more frequent votes on amendments — more than 200 this year, compared with 15 in 2014 — as irrefutable evidence of his success. “I stand on the facts,” said Mr. McConnell, who said his main strategic decision was to find issues that both sides could compromise on, rather than digging in for partisan disputes where common ground could never be found.

Question: What caused Valentino's death?

Remember Valentino, the Countess’s lost love whose back story we spent two episodes learning? Forget undead, he’s officially dead thanks to Donovan’s jealousy. That’s what you get for bringing a scimitar to a gunfight. While the Countess confronts Donovan, Liz is talking Iris into making a move: “You and I are women of a certain age. We have suffered, more than our fair share. Damn it, we are the ones who should inherit the earth [...] We’re entitled to a second chance. A glorious blazing, final act.” Armed with guns galore (no scimitars in sight) Iris and Liz open fire on the Countess and Donovan, giving “Hotel” it’s first serious cliffhanger. Thus far Liz has been right about caftans, books choices and the best way to fake pâté. Let us hope she was also right when she said, “My friend, the best is yet to come.”

Question: What should be targeted by the Fed as a third metric?

The Federal Reserve is supposed to achieve two goals simultaneously: full employment with stable prices. Yet there is one obvious factor that drives American living standards but risks being lost in this mix: wages. The economic status of most working-age households is determined by whether people are employed and for how many hours. It is also affected by how quickly prices are rising and whether their paychecks are at least keeping up with, if not outpacing, those prices. Over the last few years, employment has been growing and inflation has been low. But annual wage growth has been stuck at about 2 percent going on six years now. This combination has caused some economists and Fed watchers to argue that the Fed should target wages as a third metric. Janet Yellen, the Fed chairwoman, happens to agree with many of these wage-conscious analysts on a wide range of other economic issues, raising the possibility the Fed might indeed move in this direction. Ms. Yellen gave her answer in a recent speech in San Francisco: No.

Question: What percentage was the 3700 estates that were expected to owe tax?

An amendment by Senator Tim Kaine, Democrat of Virginia, called for a lifting of the spending limits, paid for by changes to entitlement programs other than Social Security, a re-examination of other programs and the ending of some tax loopholes. It passed, 50 to 48. Senate Republicans did set some policy stakes in the ground, some of them surprising. The Senate voted, 54 to 46, to fully repeal the estate tax, even though next year, the value of estates subject to it will have to exceed $5.43 million, or nearly $11 million for a couple. Only about 3,700 estates, or 0.12 percent of the total, were expected to owe any federal estate tax last year.

Question: Who oversees the effectiveness and safety of a drug?

Hillary Rodham Clinton’s prescription drug policy proposal, released last week, would hold drug manufacturers accountable to their level of investment in research. But there are some potentially valuable drugs we’ll never get drug companies to invest in — those that cannot be patented. By granting temporary monopolies to innovators, the patent system is widely credited with protecting and promoting innovation. But when it comes to pharmaceuticals, it may be preventing valuable therapies from coming to market. To see evidence of this, just look at the behavior of pharmaceutical firms. When Benjamin Roin, assistant professor of technological innovation, entrepreneurship, and strategic management at M.I.T., did so, he discovered that drug companies discard many potentially good ideas because they’re unpatentable. By interviewing academic researchers and industry insiders and scouring medicinal-chemistry textbooks, Mr. Roin learned that “pharmaceutical companies systematically screen their drug candidates to exclude the ones lacking strong patent protection.” It’s obvious why drug innovators would avoid unpatentable ideas: Bringing a drug to market is expensive. In addition to the costs of scientists and laboratories to discover and sift through potentially therapeutic compounds in the first place, demonstrating efficacy and safety to the Food and Drug Administration requires costly clinical trials. Without F.D.A. approval, a drug cannot be marketed.

Question: "The Danish Girl" is the story of what transgender pioneer?

‘The Danish Girl’ (R, 2:00) The story of a transgender pioneer, Lili Elbe, becomes a tasteful, sensitive and somewhat inert costume drama in the hands of Tom Hooper (“The King’s Speech.”) Eddie Redmayne plays Lili, whom we first encounter as Einar Wegener, a Danish landscape painter. His wife, Gerda (Alicia Vikander), also an artist, is the emotional center of the film, in part because Mr. Redmayne’s performance, while technically flawless, keeps the audience at a distance from Lili’s experience.

Question: What happens when women speak up in meetings or negotiations?

Take Mr. Wadhwa’s claim that women in tech often underplay their accomplishments and that they should adopt a brash tone. In an article responding to the WNYC podcast, Mr. Wadhwa wrote that his findings were the product of two research
 reports, but those do not mention the confidence problem. When I asked him about it, he said the idea was born out of many interviews with women. His critics concede that women do sometimes underplay their strengths, but they point to another concern: Studies show that when women speak up in negotiations or other meetings, they are often penalized for doing so. And should women get ahead by aping the air of overconfidence and bravado that characterizes the Valley’s most cringe-inducing men? “I think that in 2015 we can give women better advice than ‘Behave more like men,’ ” said Cate Huston, a software engineer who has worked at Google and IBM.

Question: What is happening in the diamond market now?

Now that the market is more competitive, De Beers focuses more on marketing its own brands, such as Forevermark, a symbol etched on diamonds that have passed quality assurance tests. The symbol is visible only with a special instrument and helps buyers know, for example, that a diamond is not man-made. (De Beers also produces synthetic diamonds but only for industrial applications, such as lasers.) “We have to make sure that diamonds remain a relevant luxury category,” said Mr. Mellier of De Beers.

Question: Who beat Venezuela by a score of 11 unanswered points?

“This is a mythology that Venezuela is not good at soccer,” said Omar Pironel, a 27-year-old Colombia fan visiting Chile for the tournament. “We often struggle with them.” Before this year, Venezuela had only four wins in 55 games at the Copa América, and it is the only member of the South American confederation that has never qualified for a World Cup. In the 1975 Copa, it lost by 11-0 to a merciless Argentina side. In 1999 and 2000, it lost to Brazil by a combined score of 13-0 in a Copa América match and a subsequent World Cup qualifier.

Question: What was the score in the middle of the game?

But the Super Bowl was full of drama minus the courtroom.

It was 14-14 at halftime, then 24-14 in favor of Seattle in the fourth quarter, and then it really got good: Brady and New England rallied to score two touchdowns and take a 28-24 lead, only to see Seattle and the quarterback Russell Wilson move the ball back down the field in a beautiful hurry.

Question: what regional group is Texas Southern a part of?

Texas Southern, from the Southwestern Athletic Conference, represented a potential land mine for the Wildcats. Coach Mike Davis spent six seasons at Indiana, succeeding Bobby Knight, and led the Hoosiers to the national championship game in 2002. Davis created one of the most difficult nonconference schedules in the country, with road games against the likes of Gonzaga, Baylor, Florida and Indiana. Among a slew of experience-building losses were a couple of upsets in late December, at Kansas State and at Michigan State.

Question: Who is the Louisiana State Coach?

“If you hit it well, you should get rewarded for it,” said the Vanderbilt junior shortstop Dansby Swanson, the most outstanding player at last year’s Series and the first overall pick in the major league amateur draft, by Arizona. “I think that’s what is happening this year.” Swanson led the Commodores with 15 homers after hitting only three last season. Scoring rose as well, to 5.44 runs per game in the regular season from 5.08, reversing a recent trend. Curiously, so did strikeouts by pitchers, who discovered they could throw the new ball harder and snap sharper breaking pitches. Before Iowa lost in regional play, Hawkeyes Coach Rick Heller said he had never seen as many pitchers hit 95 miles per hour on the radar gun as he did this season. “I think the biggest thing, quite frankly, is our pitchers enjoy throwing it more,” said Louisiana State Coach Paul Mainieri, whose pitching staff struck out 93 more batters than it did last year. “There are no blisters. They get a little bit more movement, maybe even a little more velocity.”

Question: How many part of the campaign did Rose miss?

Rose, cleared medically but uncertain of his own health, was accused of a lack of toughness and a me-first attitude. When he finally returned for the next season, 2013-14, another injury — this time a torn medial meniscus in his right knee — felled him in only his 10th game. Rose aggravated the injury this season, had surgery and missed a quarter of the campaign; he returned just before the end of the regular season. In his absence, the Bulls were a scrappy underdog — a solid regular-season team that lacked the star power for playoff crunchtime. On Saturday, they had the look of a championship contender.

Question: Founders of mormonism were often men that had how many wives?

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.

Answer: 50

Question: Who is harassing the locals?

“The militias also beat and kill people; they ask for a share,” Mr. Qul said. “They have taken up weapons to bring security, but they are doing the looting themselves.” A senior security official acknowledged that the militias were harassing the locals, but said they had been warned “not to touch people’s property.” “It was a tradition here: when the Taliban raided a village, they would loot and burn houses,” the official said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss the trouble. “And when the government took back the area, the militias would do the same, they would be so happy to come with us on the operation.”

Question: What incentive did investment advisers have for recommending high risk products to their clients?

Here is a short tale of how the way Americans save for retirement has changed over the last couple of generations. It helps explain what the Obama administration is up to with a new initiative this week: Once upon a time, companies took it as their responsibility to ensure that their workers could enjoy a comfortable retirement. They socked money away in a pension plan that paid longtime employees a healthy fraction of their salary from the day they retired to the day they died. Employers took on all the risk — the stock market dropping, people living longer than expected. And then along came new vehicles like the 401(k) and the Individual Retirement Account. These allowed ordinary Americans to take charge of their retirement savings themselves — to put money into tax-advantaged accounts and withdraw it when needed. But they also left people exposed to the vicissitudes of markets, the risk of saving too little or investing poorly, not to mention the possibility of outliving their savings. People were also at risk of getting advice from venal investment advisers guiding them toward investments with high fees or high risk because those products provided the advisers with high, frequently undisclosed commissions.

Answer: high, frequently undisclosed commissions

Question: what type of competition were done in Fallon's show?

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

Question: A plan in 2013 proposed selling what for £650,000?

The tax system, in particular, has been a boon. Some foreign companies can be structured to pay 5 percent in corporate taxes. Malta also has double taxation treaties with 65 countries, allowing individuals and businesses to avoid being taxed in two places. Significant tax advantages and a pro-business regulator have created a booming financial services industry. It now represents 12 to 15 percent of the country’s G.D.P., up from 6.3 percent in 2004. Online gambling companies have flocked to the island, as have hedge funds. With a strong corporate base, Malta sailed through the economic crisis relatively unscathed. The economy grew 3.5 percent in 2014. Unemployment is 5.8 percent, the fourth-lowest in Europe. Malta was looking to expand that economic growth through the citizenship program. Under the initial plan in 2013, the newly installed Labor Party government proposed selling passports for €650,000, with few other requirements for citizenship. Almost immediately, it drew protests. The country, critics argued, was not an economic basket case like other European nations trying similar programs. They also worried that the program would damage its reputation as an attractive place to do business. “We do not want to form part of a law which prostitutes Malta’s identity and its citizenship,” Mario de Marco, a vocal member of the opposition, said during the debate. The opposition took the program to the European Parliament in an effort to block it. While the Parliament condemned the program, it could do little else, because citizenship is controlled by national governments. To placate the Parliament and the opposition, the government raised the bar for citizenship. Strict due diligence standards were set to weed out money launderers and criminals. It also raised the cost and adopted a residency requirement. In addition to the €650,000 fee to the government, applicants must now invest €150,000 in government bonds, buy property for at least €350,000 or rent a place for at least €16,000 a year — all of which must be held for at least five years. “This is not ‘tick the box,’” said Mr. Cardona, the chief of the program. Mr. Hyzler, the lawyer, and others note that the newcomers are establishing real links to Malta. They are setting up bank accounts and buying health insurance, both of which are required. They are also joining country clubs and donating to local charities, which is encouraged. “Clients genuinely want to do more than just make the investment,” said Mark Stannard, managing director of the Maltese office of Henley & Partners, a residence and citizenship planning firm. He said a Saudi national with a Lebanese passport who had applied for Maltese citizenship had recently returned with a delegation of 12 to consider setting up businesses in aviation, life sciences and real estate.

Question: How many cloud company customers does Intel track?

“About 30 percent of our server business is now to cloud companies, and growing at a fast clip,” said Diane Bryant, head of Intel’s data center group, in a recent interview. “It’s the new opportunity for our revenue stream.” Intel is trying to enter the mobile business and sensors too, so far with little impact. The shift to more data center chips means lots of things will change for Intel, not least the kinds of customers it works with. Intel’s mix of cloud-computing customers shows how much influence is wielded by just a handful of big operations. Of 200 cloud company customers that Intel tracks, just seven take one-third of those chips: Google, Amazon Web Services, Microsoft and Facebook, as well as Baidu, Alibaba and Tencent of China. While the rest are now growing at twice the rate of the top seven, Ms. Bryant said, the big companies are unusually demanding customers, even designing their own chip modifications to make their global clouds work better.

Question: If you don't know the harmony, you cannot what?

SALONEN He always said that the form and the expression of most Western art music come from the harmony. If you don’t know the harmony well, you cannot understand, let alone convey, the sense of the form to anybody. On a practical level it means you have to go through every chord when you go through a score. It sounds obvious and trivial, but if you study, say, “Götterdämmerung” or “Elektra,” to get a clear idea of the harmonic structure takes a lot of time. There are no shortcuts. You have to learn what the principles of the harmony are, and then you can plan your so-called interpretation.

Question: Who asked Bev whom was Emily's mother?

And just the other day, Robyn went on, Emily had been chatting in the kitchen with her mother and Bev. After Emily walked out, Sandy turned to Bev and asked, “Who is that person’s mother?” “You are,” Bev said, trying not to cry. “I thought so,” Sandy said. ”I thought it might be me.” Emily now understood that Sandy was deteriorating rapidly. Karen organized a small gathering on Sunday, May 18, to celebrate Sandy’s life. It was very intimate, just Sandy, Daryl, Emily, Karen, Bev and Robyn. (Jeremy had moved out West and still wasn’t in contact with his family, though Sandy and Daryl left a voice mail message to let him know when Sandy would die.) At the gathering, Daryl talked about a lawsuit that the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission filed in 1972 against AT&T for sex discrimination in its recruitment practices, in which he and Sandy took the stand together to testify as a team.
