Question: What is Facebook set to tap into as a revenue Stream?

But at the same time, more partisan political videos may trickle into news feeds as campaigns deploy Facebook’s new video advertising platform to reach specific groups. A video by the Clinton campaign, for instance, would probably not be targeted toward those using Mr. Cruz’s campaign logo as their avatar. And Facebook is ready to tap these intensifying political passions as a revenue stream. Some campaigns are proving particularly nimble at steering the conversation on Facebook. Vincent Harris, the chief digital strategist for Senator Rand Paul’s campaign, equipped the candidate’s many followers with avatars, photographs, videos, memes and links to post on their Facebook walls on the day Mr. Paul announced that he was running for president. Tagged correctly, the posts were intended to bombard others’ news feeds as well. The rise of political chatter on Facebook does not mean the site has become as polarized as Texas is red or California is blue. Some actually do use the site to stay informed about the other side.

Question: What is Hana Abdullah keeping a record of?

Shooting images for the print magazine component of “The Displaced,” Addario accompanied Hana Abdullah, a 12-year-old Syrian girl now living in a refugee settlement in Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley, for 21 hours a day, documenting her daily life. At one point, she found herself in a plum orchard where Hana worked with other child refugees. “They had started working at 5 in the morning,” Addario told Blanchett. “And around 11 in the morning, they started falling out of the trees — literally the children were collapsing out of the trees. It was something I had never seen before.” Addario and Blanchett discussed the crisis with the Iraqi-American journalist Zainab Salbi and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees spokeswoman Melissa Fleming. “For children like … Hana, the situation has just got a hell of a lot worse and more complicated following the Beirut and Paris attacks,” Blanchett said. And yet “these people are not going to evaporate,” she said. “The problem is not going to go away overnight.” Watch the full video here:

Question: Did Woods show is worry?

In theater terms, Woods is in previews. For him, opening night is April 9, the first day of the Masters. If he is worried about the state of his game, Woods hid it behind his actor’s mask. After signing his scorecard, he stepped to the microphone and deadpanned, “I’m just doing this so I won’t get fined.” Everybody, starting with Woods, laughed at his sendup of the media-averse Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch. Woods’s stab at humor hit closer to the funny bone than the attempt by the marshal at the par-3 seventh hole on Thursday. As Woods’s group approached the tee box, the man announced to the fans, “No jokes about missing teeth, blondes or 5-irons.”

Question: When did Henry S. Schleiff take over as  president of Investigation Discovery?

Then Henry S. Schleiff arrived in 2009 as group president of Investigation Discovery and a roster of other networks, bearing the ideal credentials for proceeding with a crime network. Mr. Schleiff had been chief executive of Crown Media Holdings, owner of the Hallmark Channel, known for its sentimental love stories. Earlier, he was chief executive of Court TV Network, the home of live court coverage that gained attention during the O. J. Simpson trial. During his first meeting with Mr. Zaslav, Mr.Schleiff endorsed going all-in with Investigation Discovery, broadcasting nothing but true stories about crime, mystery and romance.

Question: When will the scavenger hunt begin?

The museum will open early, at 9:30, with a daylong pi scavenger hunt. (It closes at 5 p.m.) “The idea is to find places where aspects of pi come up in the exhibits,” said Glen Whitney, co-founder of the museum and president of its board. Children can also do pi puzzles there and play a circular version of tick-tack-toe involving four concentric loops divided into wedges. Visitors can explore pi further by filling the spaces on a circular grid with candy, and feeding a chosen set of digits (a birthday, a phone number) into a computer and learning where that sequence appears in pi.

Question: What group arrested multiple people in the crowd?

The N.D.S. arrested a number of men in the crowd, including the butcher believed to have stabbed the soldier, said Mr. Khan and other witnesses. That seemed to provoke further anger, with the crowd demanding that Afghan security forces on the scene release their countrymen who had stood up against the foreign soldiers. A spokesman for the American-led coalition, Col. Brian Tribus, said the episode was under investigation. He added that two service members in the convoy had minor injuries. The suicide bombing wounded at least 22 people and killed one, said a spokesman for the Interior Ministry, Sediq Sediqqi. But witnesses said the death toll was probably higher.

Question: When did Obama insist Congress pass the Affordable Care Act?

There’s an oft-expressed view that getting all those people covered could actually save the health system money. The argument goes something like this: Once people have insurance, they’ll go to the doctor instead of an expensive emergency room. Or: Prevention costs far less than a serious illness down the road. In selling the Affordable Care Act, President Obama was fond of making these sorts of arguments. “There’s no reason we shouldn’t be catching diseases like breast cancer and colon cancer before they get worse,” he said, in his big 2009 address to Congress, urging passage of the bill. “That makes sense, it saves money, and it saves lives.” The White House was careful to describe the overall financial forecast for the law — the administration said the law would slow spending growth and not reverse it. But it has also argued forcefully and repeatedly about the financial value of preventive care.

Question: What group complained that they have been bypassed in previous talks with the Taliban?

The Afghan government side included a diverse array of representatives, among them former members of the Taliban who have reconciled with the government; Tajik, Pashtun and Uzbek leaders; and President Ashraf Ghani’s uncle, Abdul Qayoum Kochai, according to Nazar Mohammad Mutmaeen. Mr. Mutmaeen is an Afghan writer and journalist who previously served as an official in the Taliban government but now lives in Kabul openly. He is known to have good contacts among Taliban officials in Qatar and elsewhere. Mr. Mutmaeen said that the Taliban had agreed on the list of those attending the Pugwash Conference, but overruled some, such as the High Peace Council’s secretary general, Masoom Stanikzai, if they seemed too obviously representative of the government. It also insisted that members of the government delegation come as individuals in personal capacities. Mr. Mutmaeen said that at least two and possibly three women were among the government delegation. Afghan women’s groups have long complained that they had been bypassed in previous attempts to open talks with the Taliban, and noted that they would have the most to lose if repressive Taliban-era restrictions on women’s public roles were to return.

Question: What is the name of the Ohio State football team?

James does know about a young Ohio team whose players stuck together through adversity and played with grit and guts. Not his Cavaliers, mind you, but the Ohio State Buckeyes.

Question: When was "Steve Jobs" released in theaters?

The movie “Steve Jobs” had all the makings of a Hollywood blockbuster. It had a starry cast (Kate Winslet, Jeff Daniels, Michael Fassbender). The screenplay was by the acclaimed writer Aaron Sorkin (who also wrote “The Social Network”). And it received rave reviews (“‘Steve Jobs’ is a rich and potent document of the times,” wrote my colleague A.O. Scott.) But the movie tanked at the box office, earning about $18 million in the seven weeks after its Oct. 9 release. Perhaps Hollywood had overestimated the public’s fascination with the man. Perhaps the film came a couple of years too late or a couple of decades too early. Or perhaps we have Steve Jobs fatigue, after all the books, movies and documentaries on the visionary Apple co-founder. But perhaps most surprising is the way in which Silicon Valley relished in, and contributed to, the film’s demise.

Question: Would there be lessons learned?

While the filmmakers are not above trying to wring a few tears, they don’t wage an all-out assault on your feelings. There is a notable absence of aggression and of the kind of manipulation that yanks adjectives like “devastating” from the laptops of unwitting reviewers.

Question: What does Cook think is the future of TV?

Mr. Cook also presented a new, enhanced Apple TV, which represents the company’s most ambitious effort yet to become the focal point of home entertainment systems. Apple TV already streams videos and music. Now it is set to offer video games, shopping and travel tools through an expanded array of apps. “Our vision for TV is simple,” Mr. Cook said. “We believe the future of television is apps.” The new version of Apple TV also includes a remote control that could be used as a video game controller. The product now comes with a higher price tag that starts at $150, up from $70, indicating that the company is betting that consumers will think all of the new features are worth the higher price. Jeff Williams, Apple’s senior vice president of operations, also talked about improvements to the Apple Watch, including a number of new apps like Facebook Messenger and AirStrip, a health care app that lets doctors coordinate patient care and monitor health data.

Question: Why would someone avoid investing in a drug?

When it comes to drugs, some of those obvious, old ideas that cannot be patented have not been clinically tested, as required for F.D.A. approval. That takes money, which nobody will invest without a patent. It’s a Catch-22 that ends up excluding potentially valuable drugs from ever even being considered for development. There’s evidence that the provision of patents only for nonobvious and novel innovations affects drug development. In a paper published in the Texas Law Review, Mr. Roin documents many examples of patent invalidation on these grounds — importantly, even for ideas that had never been developed into drugs and that still required clinical trials for F.D.A. approval. For example, the patent of an anti-inflammatory drug was invalidated because it had been disclosed in a prior academic article. A patent for a hypertension drug was invalidated because it was deemed to have been created by a well-known process.

Question: What is Khameni's complaint about the negotitations?

“They say new things in the negotiations,” Ayatollah Khamenei told the military graduates. “Regarding inspections, we have said that we will not let foreigners inspect any military center.” Like last summer, when he vowed that Iran would ultimately build an industrial-scale uranium enrichment capability — with 190,000 centrifuges, or 10 times the number now installed — the ayatollah’s comments are bound to cause deep complications for Iran’s negotiators, led by Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif.

Question: what types of Maker education did Barnes and Noble provide?

Facing spiraling losses from store closings, Barnes & Noble is searching for ways to increase foot traffic and drive sales. Last month, the chain held a coloring event at stores around the country, where it doled out sample sheets from coloring books and art supplies. It also recently held a national Mini Maker Faire promoting technology literacy at its stores, with coding and 3-D printing workshops. Near the front of the Union Square store, a large display table was dedicated to vinyl records and turntables, and another area showcased tech gadgets. Near the registers, a table was covered with adult coloring books, one of the fastest-growing book categories, and art supplies. “The macro trend is about physical interaction with things,” Mr. Boire said. “I think it’s here for the long haul.”

Question: What area fell to the militants?

Partly because of pressures from President Ashraf Ghani, government officials said, Mr. Dostum’s offensive has been downgraded to a morale-building tour of the national forces in Faryab, with the vice president and his two sons in uniform making the rounds. Some areas that Mr. Dostum passed through and declared clear of Taliban, like Mir Shadi in Almar district, fell only days later to the militants, who set dozens of homes on fire, local officials said. However, for days the vice president’s antics brought new attention to just how mixed up and troubled northern Afghanistan is this year. Even without Mr. Dostum in the vanguard, militiamen have been flowing in to fight the Taliban — and increasingly, local officials say, one another. “There were up to 9,000 people gathered here,” Mr. Dostum said in his palace in Jowzjan after meetings with militia commanders. “They wanted to go to Faryab and fight the Taliban. But what can I do? The president does not allow it.”

Question: In what series does Mr. Lewis play Nicholas Brody?

“Here comes this series, based on two Booker Prize novels with magnificent actors and a substantial investment of time and money,” Mr. Kosminsky said. “The BBC is saying, this is the kind of thing only the BBC can do.” After the series was broadcast in Britain, there was exhaustive media coverage discussing everything from Tudor economics to fashion, and engendering a predictable amount of historical debate. “There’s an important distinction to make,” said Mr. Lewis, best known for playing Nicholas Brody in the series “Homeland.” Sitting on the lawn in full big-shouldered costume, looking every inch the handsome, charismatic and still-trim monarch he plays in the series, he added: “We are not telling Tudor history; we are creating ‘Wolf Hall’ from novels, which are already a rereading of Tudor history.” The apparently inexhaustible appetite for versions of Ms. Mantel’s story is partly the result of Britain’s perpetual fascination with the Tudor dynasty but is mostly testament to her vividly original reading of the period: Henry’s desperation for a male heir, the break with the Roman Catholic Church, the beginnings of Protestantism, the dissolution of the monasteries and the eventual execution of Anne, the point at which the second book ends. (Ms. Mantel is writing a third installment, “The Mirror and the Light,” which will chronicle the last four years of Cromwell’s life.) All these events are mediated through the perspective and personality of Cromwell, usually depicted by historians as an unscrupulous and cruel power-monger, but here given a far more enigmatic profile as Ms. Mantel’s narrative follows his rise from blacksmith’s son to heights of power second only to the king. As Cromwell frees his master from his marriage to Catherine of Aragon so that he may marry Anne Boleyn, then orchestrates her downfall, he emerges as clever, witty and urbane, multilingual, inexhaustibly energetic and a master of the dog-eat-dog political chess game that is Henry’s court.

Question: What's the best material to use for a surround when you want a lot of luxury?

Ms. Enger recommended using a “clean and simple” design that would appeal to both modern and traditional tastes. “Most people today don’t want anything too fussy,” she said. It’s also important to be aware of how the original surround was built. Many surrounds are made from brick veneer that is just stuck onto the wall, Ms. Enger said, and they can be removed relatively easily and replaced. But if the brick is an integral part of the wall, a cover-up job may be required. If you’re aiming for all-out luxury, you might consider installing a custom stone surround. Ms. Enger built a clean-lined limestone mantel for a spec house in Hoboken that she and her husband sold last May, she said, and it became one of the home’s most talked-about selling features. “It was something that everyone – realtors, potential buyers and friends – loved,” she said. Just be aware, she added, that “it’s definitely more pricey than wood or paint.”

Question: What type of teams does Operation Wild cover around the globe?

Was that venerable PBS venturing into the lowbrow world of veterinary television this week? Yes, it was, and Dr. Jeff should take a lesson. A three-part series called “Operation Wild,” which began on Wednesday on PBS, brings us stirring stories of veterinary teams around the globe engaged in unusual high-tech efforts to save sick or injured wild animals. The methods employed are often adapted from human medical care. The opening episode included the stories of an elephant in Laos that had been shot in the leg, a gorilla at a wildlife sanctuary in Cameroon with a damaged wrist, and an annual kite-flying festival in India that leaves hundreds of birds injured by the kite strings. Next week’s installment offers efforts to give a rhinoceros a skin graft and to restore the sight of an orangutan.

Question: "Top Gear" is supposedly the world's most popular program of what sort?

After Mr. Clarkson’s suspension, more than a million people signed an online petition seeking his reinstatement, and he received remarkable statements of support from prominent friends, including Prime Minister David Cameron. “Top Gear,” which began as a straight show about cars, has in its current incarnation become popular worldwide, watched by about 350 million viewers in 170 countries. It has been called the world’s most popular fact-based program, and it earns millions for the BBC and for Mr. Clarkson himself. Overseas sales are worth an estimated $74 million a year for the corporation’s commercial arm, BBC Worldwide, according to the BBC.

Question: What can sometimes happen when early spending on health matters?

But what about prevention? In certain situations, early spending on someone’s health will stop an expensive disease in its tracks, reducing future spending. Giving people health insurance often enables them to get just this sort of preventive care — and Obamacare requires insurers to offer most preventive services without charging any co-payments. You might expect health spending to jump initially, then slow in future years as people benefit from new prevention. But research shows that even preventive care rarely ends up saving money.

Question: How do we know that the filmmaker's movie has a tone of inconsistency

“Songs From the Second Floor” (released here in 2002) remains Mr. Andersson’s comic masterpiece. It’s a pure and bizarre piece of millennial art, set amid perpetual traffic jams at some apocalyptic turning point. It loosely tracks a businessman who has burned down his own shop, but it also looks in on his insane son and others. The end of days looms — Mr. Andersson makes jokes about get-rich-quick crucifix salesmen — and over-the-top doomsday sights appear, like self-flagellating crowds, the dead rising and even a sacrificial rite. The “hyperreality,” as Mr. Andersson called it, makes for a forceful visual effect that is unforgettable. The same can be said of “You, the Living,” where the overarching conceit involves dreams being recounted for the camera and then dramatized. The filmmaker’s signature style is in effect, but occasional songs are added as in a musical. “Pigeon” takes another step away from reality with bewildering jumps between periods in Swedish history: One episode has the country’s 18th-century king riding into a modern bar to find a toilet.

Question: what folk song was written by Mr. Chavez?

Mr. Chávez wove the tunes of folk songs like “La Cucaracha” through a modernist idiom in a work for solo piano, and altered a traditional song chromatically in his Sonatina for Violin and Piano. His “Cuatro Melodías Tradicionales Indias del Ecuador” was beautifully sung by the soprano Cecilia Violetta López, whose bright, expressive voice made a strong impression in several works, including de Falla’s “El Retablo de Maese Pedro.” The resetting of part of Don Quixote de la Mancha’s story concluded the final program in a charming production featuring puppets and witty visuals designed by Doug Fitch.

Question: How was the service at the restaurant?

The restaurant is just as dramatic on the inside. A Swarovski crystal chandelier with 96 bulbs hangs above the circular staircase, separating the lounge and bar from the white-hued dining room, where there are floor-to-ceiling windows. The dining experience, however, wasn’t quite as grandiose. The service was pleasant but sloppy, and the pricey menu, while dotted with winners, also had a fair share of disappointments. This could be because Orama lost its original executive chef, John Piliouras, in September. Two chefs, Dongmin Lyu and Nazario Anselmo, both of whom had been working in the kitchen, took over for him. Orama, which opened last New Year’s Eve, is owned by Simeon Maximiadis, a former emergency room psychologist who went into managing steakhouses, and Stacey Christakos, his partner in both business and life. They spent millions renovating what had been a Japanese restaurant.

Question: Who is Adam Lisberg?

His company submitted three ads as part of its protection-themed campaign: the couple touching amid moving boxes, a father clad in industrial goggles changing a diaper, and a man pleading for help from the Mafia. He moved forward with the other two. The authority reviewed its standards after the request by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo’s office last year. While it did not result in a formal policy change, officials have worked with advertisers to “come up with a compelling advertising message in a somewhat less explicit way,” Adam Lisberg, a spokesman for the agency, said, adding a comment over the cleavage controversy The News brought about.

Question: What team did James play for Tuesday night?

For that reason, Brown’s task in 1964 seems a little easier than the one James faces now. James’s group, defying the odds, turned back Golden State in Games 2 and 3 to give Cleveland a two-games-to-one series lead, when few people were giving them much of a chance to actually take four games against the Warriors and win the N.B.A. title. Still, to have any shot, James, who had 40 points, 12 rebounds and 8 assists in the Cavaliers’ 96-91 win Tuesday night, will do well to keep to Brown’s blueprint.

Answer: Cavaliers

James’s group, defying the odds, turned back Golden State in Games 2 and 3 to give Cleveland a two-games-to-one series lead, when few people were giving them much of a chance to actually take four games against the Warriors and win the N.B.A. title. <hl> Still, to have any shot, James, who had 40 points, 12 rebounds and 8 assists in the Cavaliers ’ 96-91 win Tuesday night, will do well to keep to Brown’s blueprint. <hl>

Question: Where is Mike Condon from?

Carey Price missed nine games earlier this season, but during his third game back, Wednesday against the Rangers, he aggravated the injury. He is expected to miss six weeks, putting the spotlight back on Mike Condon. A native of Needham, Mass., who played college hockey at Princeton, Condon started his journey to the Canadiens by trying out for an E.C.H.L. team during his spring break in 2013. After spending the past two seasons in the minor leagues, Condon beat out Dustin Tokarski in training camp for the backup job. Condon is 8-2-3 with a 2.19 goals-against and .916 save percentage, including a 5-2-2 record during Price’s previous absence. He may be this season’s Cam Talbot, the Rangers’ late-blooming backup who held down the fort last season when Henrik Lundqvist missed almost two months.

Question: What does the Fourth Amendment protect ?

SAN FRANCISCO — TODAY, we’re filing a lawsuit against the National Security Agency to protect the rights of the 500 million people who use Wikipedia every month. We’re doing so because a fundamental pillar of democracy is at stake: the free exchange of knowledge and ideas. Our lawsuit says that the N.S.A.’s mass surveillance of Internet traffic on American soil — often called “upstream” surveillance — violates the Fourth Amendment, which protects the right to privacy, as well as the First Amendment, which protects the freedoms of expression and association. We also argue that this agency activity exceeds the authority granted by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act that Congress amended in 2008.

Question: What year is The Boy set in?

9 P.M. (CUNY) WALLANDER: THE TRICKSTERS When a stable owner is found lifeless in his barn, Inspector Kurt Wallander (Krister Henriksson) is at a loss for suspects, since the man seemingly had no friends, no social life and no enemies.

Question: What country in the first episode had a gorilla sanctuary?

Answer: Cameroon

Was that venerable PBS venturing into the lowbrow world of veterinary television this week? Yes, it was, and Dr. Jeff should take a lesson. A three-part series called “Operation Wild,” which began on Wednesday on PBS, brings us stirring stories of veterinary teams around the globe engaged in unusual high-tech efforts to save sick or injured wild animals. The methods employed are often adapted from human medical care. <hl> The opening episode included the stories of an elephant in Laos that had been shot in the leg, a gorilla at a wildlife sanctuary in Cameroon with a damaged wrist, and an annual kite-flying festival in India that leaves hundreds of birds injured by the kite strings. <hl> Next week’s installment offers efforts to give a rhinoceros a skin graft and to restore the sight of an orangutan.

Question: Who removed Cameron's pledge?

The interview drowned out Mr. Cameron’s vow on Wednesday to introduce a law guaranteeing no rise in income tax rates, value-added tax or national insurance before 2020 if his party wins the election. The Labour Party dismissed Mr. Cameron’s pledge as a “last-minute gimmick,” and said that the Conservatives had a “secret plan” to cut tax credits for families and raise the value-added tax. Labour even put together a website, torysecretplan.com, which features a fake email to Mr. Cameron from George Osborne, the chancellor of the Exchequer, laying out cuts not to be announced until after the election. Opinion polls suggest a hung Parliament, with no party winning an absolute majority, and the two main parties, the Conservatives and Labour, splitting about two-thirds of the vote.

Question: What sort of business can be harmful in bad times?

Regulators around the world, but especially in the United States, are demanding that all banks reduce risk. Deutsche Bank was particularly vulnerable because of its large exposure to businesses that can be lucrative in good times but toxic in bad, like derivatives contracts. The bank said on Monday that it would stop offering some kinds of derivatives and retreat from other risk businesses like commodities trading. Meanwhile, aggressive law enforcement authorities last week extracted a $2.5 billion penalty from Deutsche Bank for misconduct related to an interest rate rigging scandal. The penalty, as well as criticism from regulators who said the bank failed to recognize signs of misconduct, damaged the reputation of the bank as well as Mr. Jain, who was head of Deutsche Bank’s investment bank operations in London, where most of the mischief took place.

Question: who did Mr. Lowell expect to examine the motions?

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

Question: What event occurred in 2008 that caused voters to to become ideologically polarized?

His success underlines the extent to which European political structures have been destabilized by the aftershocks of the financial crisis in 2008, with voters increasingly attracted away from the political center ground, either to the socialist left or the nationalist right. However, Mr. Corbyn’s program, which includes nationalizing energy and rail companies, has shallow support among fellow Labour lawmakers, a fact that suggests he may struggle to unite his party. Several senior party figures, including Emma Reynolds and Tristram Hunt, have already announced that they will not be serving on Mr. Corbyn’s team, though another, Hilary Benn, promised to support him. On Saturday there were jubilant scenes after the release of results showing that Mr. Corbyn had won almost 60 percent of the vote, crushing his three opponents, Yvette Cooper, Andy Burnham and Liz Kendall. “We don’t have to be unequal, it doesn’t have to be unfair, poverty isn’t inevitable,” Mr. Corbyn told a cheering audience in a short acceptance speech.
