Question: Whats his/her mishear mostly ?

While I often mishear words, I seldom mishear music: notes, melodies, harmonies, phrasings remain as clear and rich as they have been all my life (though I often mishear lyrics). There is clearly something about the way the brain processes music that makes it robust, even in the face of imperfect hearing; and, conversely, something about the nature of spoken language that makes it much more vulnerable to deficiencies or distortions. Playing or even hearing music (at least traditional scored music) involves not just the analysis of tone and rhythm — it also engages one’s procedural memory and emotional centers in the brain; musical pieces are held in memory and allow anticipation.

Question: What caused Julia Gillard to replace Mr. Rudd?

Mr. Rudd was ousted in an internal party coup in 2010 and replaced by Julia Gillard, Australia’s first female prime minister. As Ms. Gillard’s poll numbers fell, the party reinstalled Mr. Rudd months before the election of 2013, which Mr. Abbott’s conservative coalition won. Already a polarizing figure when he took office, Mr. Abbott saw his popularity decline amid a slowing economy as he made a series of political missteps and alienated many voters with his strongly conservative stances and often abrasive style. His combative manner contributed to his government’s inability to get major budget measures through the lower and upper houses of Parliament.

Question: Officer Munoz observed Jason Disisto in what position?

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.

Question: What was discovered from the Siberian Arctic?

Two cubs from the ice age were recently uncovered in the Siberian Arctic, perfectly frozen in the permafrost. Named Uyan and Dina after the Uyandina river where they were recovered, the cubs still had their fur and whiskers. “It’s the first time in history that a cave lion, although it is a cub and not a grown-up animal, was found with all the fur, internal organs and soft parts of the body so well-preserved,” Valery Plotnikov, a researcher at the regional Academy of Sciences, said to The Associated Press. Cave lions, the prehistoric relative of modern-day lions, are believed to have become extinct about 10,000 years ago.

Question: What does Mr. Saleh say about his wife?

Mr. Atassi scrutinizes Mr. Saleh’s ordinary side, filming him asleep, legs poking from under a comforter, or flinching at the sound of shelling, when he is not giving interviews over Skype to a Western journalist who tells him, “Your voice is very important.” He also Skypes with his wife, now unexpectedly trapped back in Douma by a government siege. Mr. Saleh tells the camera, presciently, that if anything happens to her, “it would break me more than anything else.” Finally, realizing that he can contribute nothing in Raqqa, Mr. Saleh departs for Turkey. There, he appears diminished, an old man on his first subway ride, just after his first airplane flight, stuck at a turnstile, trying to work the electronic fare card. “Like an extraterrestrial,” Mr. Atassi said in an interview.

The investigation, and a review of the corrections agency’s policies and procedures at Clinton by the office of the state inspector general, Catherine Leahy Scott, is continuing.

Question: Where did Mr. Shoemaker first hear Mr. Connell?

Over lunch, Mr. Shoemaker said that he first heard of Mr. Connell while listening to the KPFA radio show hosted by the poet Kenneth Rexroth. “He had his growly, gravelly voice,” Mr. Shoemaker said, “and he said, ‘I’ve just finished reading the best book by an American perhaps ever. “Notes From a Beach Found at Carmel” — whatever you do, get a copy, read it, get it, this is one of the great books ever.’ Rexroth had that kind of power.” So Mr. Shoemaker read that book, in 1962. Around the same time, he met Mr. Connell at the No Name, where Mr. Shoemaker had first gone with the Beat poet Lew Welch, whose work he had published. Mr. Welch was dating a local woman named Magda Cregg. “She had a son,” Mr. Shoemaker said, “who became known as Huey Lewis — he chose Lewis because he loved Lew Welch. Lewie always told me that he taught Huey Lewis how to sing.” “Sausalito had the Tides,” Mr. Shoemaker said, “which was a very famous bookstore at the time. It was owned by a couple of people who were friends of Evan’s, a couple of doors beyond No Name. And those guys, the owners, bought the Washington Square Bar and Grill, otherwise known as the Washbag, which was one of the famous North Beach literary bars, famous for their softball team — Herb Caen played, and Claes Oldenburg made them a bat.”

Question: what was the percent of the neighborhood was hispanic in 2009-2013?

The boundaries of the neighborhood, which is about 0.6 square mile, are roughly Flushing Avenue to the north, Atlantic Avenue to the south, Vanderbilt Avenue to the west and Classon Avenue to the east. The United States Census Bureau’s 2009-2013 American Community Survey estimated the population as 39 percent white, 36 percent black, 16 percent Hispanic and 5 percent Asian. The 2010 census showed a 149 percent increase in the white population over 2000 and a decline of 29 percent in the number of blacks. The architecture is a mix of wood-frame houses predating the Civil War, Italianate mansions, carriage houses, brownstones, midrise apartment buildings and three- to five-story brick rowhouses. Some are scrupulously restored while others are shedding paint. Here and there, a featureless tower pierces the sky. Pratt Institute is the neighborhood’s centerpiece, its greensward campus’s brick pathways braiding through a sculpture garden.

Question: In what kind of shape was the race track at Reims?

Q. What other differences do you see between then and now in Formula One? A. Before, I loved it that it happened on public roads. In Belgium, after the race, after the deaths, we drove around and to look for where it had happened, driving down to Malmedy and thinking about the war. I don’t know how you can make people understand the difference between a public road and a manufactured piste, manufactured corners, and escape roads in every direction and nothing to hit. Q. But Monza was always a track in a park. That hasn’t changed much. A. Yes, that never impressed me, I never liked it. I loved Belgium, I loved Germany, the setting, the fact that they were public roads. Reims was a road race, and you could imagine the Germans coming over in tanks but it was race cars going in the other direction. It wasn’t much of a circuit, it was only a triangle, very, very fast and there was a wrinkle here and there. It was part of the Champagne country and they gave Champagne for the fastest lap and things like that. It really was a French Grand Prix as opposed to another Grand Prix. Today nothing changes except the crowd.

Question: What is the law that protect female soccer players?

Heinrichs was the first female coach of the women’s national team and the first female player elected to the National Soccer Hall of Fame. She is convinced that American determination, fitness, hustle and competitiveness must be broadened with accelerated development of technical skill if the United States is to keep pace with teams like Germany, France and Japan, the defending World Cup champion. “We think players on an elite track that aspire to be women’s national team players one day should self-select and play up earlier,” Heinrichs said. “If more players and more club coaches saw the value in having their players in the most challenging environment that she could have on a daily basis, they would see how much faster she would grow.” Title IX, the federal law that prohibits discrimination based on gender, has been applied so effectively to sports over the past four decades that female soccer players in the United States have widespread access to their own leagues from a young age. While it is necessary for girls to have an environment in which they can feel comfortable and progress at their own rate, Heinrichs said, she sees an unintended consequence of Title IX: Fewer top-level girls seem to be honing their skills against boys today than when she and Hamm and Wambach developed into elite players. “It’s important because in Europe, they’re all playing up, and their 12- to 16-year-olds are playing against boys,” Heinrichs said. “We don’t have that anymore, for the most part.”

Question: Where did the subject live in his early days?

“Black Rage” was hailed as a timely analysis of a people in crisis. Christopher Lehmann-Haupt, in a review in The New York Times, called it “one of the most important books on the Negro to appear in the last decade.” He added, “The thesis is understated, deliberately dismal, and intensely eloquent; its impact is overwhelming.” William Henry Grier, known as Bill, was born on Feb. 7, 1926, in Birmingham, Ala. When he was 12, his father, Henry, lost his job at the post office and the family moved in with relatives in Detroit.

Question: Who was given the Dec., 15 deadline?

In a statement, the atomic agency, the nuclear-monitoring arm of the United Nations, said that as of Thursday, its requests for materials clarifying “past and present outstanding issues regarding Iran’s nuclear program were completed.” Under the timeline for all preparatory steps required to put the nuclear agreement into effect, the atomic agency’s director general, Yukiya Amano, now has until Dec. 15 to provide “the final assessment on the resolution of all past and present outstanding issues,” the statement said. Iran always has asserted that its nuclear work is peaceful. But questions about past Iranian activities, and what atomic agency inspectors had described as Iran’s resistance in resolving them, became an acute obstacle in the negotiations.

Question: How old is her eldest daughter?

One of her children is thriving in a special education program where he gets one-to-one attention, and she is thrilled that the school provides regular updates on his progress. In Dallas, she did not learn that he had been attending the wrong class until she received a notice requiring her to appear at truancy court. Her eldest daughter, 14, has started to talk about going to college. “It’s so quiet out here,” Ms. White said as she sat in the living room of the first house she has lived in, the family’s new dog on her lap. “I love it.” The government has tried before to fix the rent subsidy program. In the early 1990s, an experiment called Moving to Opportunity required some families to use their vouchers in more expensive neighborhoods. In 2000, a broader initiative raised the value of all vouchers in 49 metropolitan areas. Officials hoped the change would make it possible for families to find rental apartments in a broader range of neighborhoods. Instead, a recent study by the economists Peter Ganong of Harvard and Robert Collinson of New York University found that most families ended up paying higher rents in the same neighborhoods — and often for the same units.

Question: How many full time officers were on the police force?

It had the ingredients of an all-American fund-raiser. Leaders in the small Iowa town of Van Meter, needing money for a new police car, decided to sell $5 raffle tickets, with the winner to be chosen at this summer’s street dance. But the raffle prize — a chance to have a Taser stun gun used on a city official — raised eyebrows far beyond Van Meter, home to about 1,300 people and one full-time police officer. On Monday, after a bout of criticism and national attention, the town’s police chief said that corporate donors had agreed to help buy a cruiser, and that no one would be stunned with a Taser at Saturday’s street dance. “We’re much better off,” said the chief, William Daggett. “What we wind up with is the ability to do more than we could to begin with.”

Question: What is Madonna working on?

She continued: “What started out as an invigorating, life-enhancing, joyous experience evolved into something quite crazy. A strange artistic process, but a sign of the time. We’re all digital, we’re all vulnerable and everything’s instant — so instant. Instant success and instant failure. Instant discovery, instant destruction, instant construction. It’s as splendid and wonderful as it is devastating. Honestly, to me it’s the death of being an artist in many ways.” We spoke in her sitting room, where a Fernand Léger painting presides from above the fireplace. A large coffee table was neatly stacked with books and folders of photographs that Madonna has been using for research as she works on the screenplay for her next film project, based on the novel “The Impossible Lives of Greta Wells.” Imposing cream-colored couches flanked the coffee table, but Madonna preferred sitting on the floor.

Question: When cells divide, what happens to their telomeres?

Once the scientists figured out how to keep the animals happy, Dr. Brunet’s team got down to the scientific work. They sequenced the entire genome of the turquoise killifish, identifying a number of genes known to influence aging in other species, including mice and humans. Dr. Harel then built molecular tools the team could use to tinker with the fish’s genes. Using a new technique called Crispr, he created molecular scissors that could snip out any piece of killifish DNA and replace it with a different one. To test his tools, Dr. Harel and his colleagues tinkered with a gene called TERT, which protects DNA from wear and tear. It encodes a protein that helps build caps at the ends of DNA molecules called telomeres. Telomeres, like the plastic tips at the ends of shoelaces, keep DNA from fraying. As cells divide, their telomeres get shorter, and this change probably plays a role in aging. But how is still a mystery.

Question: According to the article, what is the most important political issue of the early 21st century?

To the east, Gov. John Kasich of Ohio told a group of Montana Republicans this week that they would be crazy not to embrace the president’s program of health coverage for the poor. “I gotta tell you, turning down your money back to Montana on an ideological basis, when people can lose their lives because they get no help, doesn’t make a lot of sense to me,” he said, in remarks reported by the Great Falls Tribune. Nearly every proposal in the State of the Union address polls with majority approval, nationwide. The great issue of the early 21st century is how to elevate a stagnant middle class. When 80 people hold the same amount of wealth as 3.6 billion of the world’s poorest, that equation of inequality can catch the attention of even the most heartless.

Question: Where was Mr Aponte taken for his injuries?

Mr. Aponte, along with several other inmates, said they were initially denied medical care. Days later, when he was finally taken to the prison clinic, officers warned him not to tell the medical staff how he got his injuries, he wrote in a letter. “The sergeant tells me that I’ve been in prison for a long time and I should know better, that if I didn’t tell the nurse that was going to examine me that nothing has happened that they were going to kill me for real this time,” he wrote. Paul Davila, another resident of the honor block, wrote in his complaint that after he was beaten during an interrogation, he was pressured to “sign a report stating, ‘I was not assaulted.’ ”

Question: How does Prince measure Mets progress on a train?

Still, the task of turning New York into a Mets town is far from complete. Prince, the blogger, offered two ways to measure future progress: when Mets caps are highly visible on all trains, not just the 7 line to Flushing, and when a fan’s request to turn a restaurant television to a Mets game is not met with a look “like you have three eyes.” More important, they probably need to do well in the postseason and then re-sign Cespedes. “I think we have a great chance of going all the way,” Breuer said.

Question: Who was an old general manager for the Cubs?

This belief is not born of the syrupy, early April optimism that is bred into Cubs fans. That was beaten out of me long ago, either by so many years as a sportswriter or by Larry Himes’s stint as general manager. (For the uninitiated, he is the one who let Greg Maddux leave.) Instead, there are plenty of perfectly plausible, rational reasons this is really going to be the Cubs’ year. The new manager, Joe Maddon, won’t treat the 107-year wait for a championship as a 107-ton weight. Jon Lester is a war horse of a pitcher, Anthony Rizzo is a franchise cornerstone, and Kris Bryant looks like a star in waiting.

Question: What is a good habit to have regarding throwing away personal documents?

There’s little individuals can do about information stolen in broad data breaches, like the one recently reported at the health insurer Anthem, Ms. Velasquez said. But you can take steps, like declining to provide your Social Security number unless it is a requirement; shredding documents with any personal information before disposing of them; and storing sensitive documents, like tax returns, in a locked file. It’s also important to keep your computer’s anti-malware and virus programs up to date.

Question: What disease has been linked with metzitzah b’peh?

Rabbi David Niederman, an influential Orthodox leader in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, sat outside a meeting of the New York City Board of Health on Wednesday, staring at a brochure and frowning. The pamphlet, created by the de Blasio administration, is a glossy but blunt warning about the dangers of metzitzah b’peh, an Orthodox circumcision ritual linked to herpes infections in infants. “Some babies can get sick with herpes, which can lead to death,” the form reads in bold type. “There is no way to avoid the risk.” “Serious misstatements,” Rabbi Niederman said, looking pained, as he read the brochure for the first time. But the rabbi declined to elaborate, telling a reporter that, for now, he wanted only to praise the city for trying to work with Orthodox leaders on the matter.

Question: Who was worried that Silver was being unfairly condemned?

The Monday session had been the subject of great anticipation over the weekend, as Assembly members discussed with one another how the situation might unfold, and considered who could succeed Mr. Silver. Some worried that the charges against him could taint all Assembly Democrats, hurting members when they seek re-election. Some long-serving members, on the other hand, were concerned that Mr. Silver was being unfairly condemned before standing trial, and were wary about seeking his ouster before he had a chance to defend himself in court.

Question: What do some defectors lie about that some North Korean defectors can detect?

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 time are the staff members and attendees counting down to?

“The first digits are actually 3.1415,” said Cindy Lawrence, the museum’s executive director and co-founder. (Pi’s decimal places extend indefinitely.) “So Saturday’s date is the first five digits of pi.” Thus on Saturday, the museum has planned a grand celebration, starting at 9 a.m. in Madison Square Park, where even small children can help form circles. “We’ll get people to line up and count out the distance around the circles, and others to do the distance across them,” Ms. Lawrence said. This pacing will illustrate that the circumference is about three times greater. Staff members will also pass out a graphic and lead a brief countdown to 9:26:53 a.m. because, yes, those are the next digits in pi.

Question: Who told a joke?

“I’ve heard that,” Clinton said. “Who knows? Life is so unpredictable.” (On the Jimmy Kimmel show, Clinton confided that if her husband had not been barred from seeking a third term, he’d have gone for it. And if she ran against him, “would I win? Yeah.”) Thinking about the spouse question a little bit more, Clinton told a joke about a successful businessman and his wife who drive into a gas station where her old boyfriend is working. The husband notes with satisfaction that if she’d married him, she’d be the wife of a gas station attendant. “And then,” Clinton concluded, “the wife says: ‘No, if I’d married him he’d be a big success like you.’”

Question: Who promised to have the Secret Service on a "short string?"

Mr. Rogers pledged to keep the Secret Service on a “short string” after the recent scandals and security lapses. He said the missteps “will not stand.” Ms. Lowey said the recent incident at the White House “raised serious questions about its ability to protect the president.” In his testimony, Mr. Clancy urged lawmakers to approve a 16.4 percent increase in the Secret Service budget to confront staffing, training, facility and infrastructure shortcomings that he says helped lead to the problems. Mr. Obama’s budget for 2016 asks for $1.94 billion, an increase of $273.3 million over the current year.

Question: Which English Singer is not like by them?

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: Did reality align with or stray from the projections?

Economists thought the nation added 200,000 jobs in November; the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ best guess in the jobs report released Friday morning was 211,000. The unemployment rate was unchanged at 5 percent, and average hourly earnings rose 0.2 percent last month, both identical to the forecasters’ projections. You’ll rarely see an economic report that more closely matches economists’ expectations. Another report earlier in the week that suggested that the manufacturing sector was contracting looks to be an outlier.
