Question: Why did the person turn down one offer?

The message is that you recognize a problem and how to fix it — and that it’s in everyone’s interest to do so. I’m actively looking for a new job. I’m well connected within my field, good at what I do and have excellent references. I have already turned down one offer that was good but not the right next step for me. I’m confident that something better will pop up soon. However, we’re approaching the end of the year, and my organization hands out modest, but not insignificant, performance bonuses. What’s the optimal timing to leave but still collect my bonus? If I line up a position that starts in early January, can I still request a bonus for the (very good) work I’ve done this year? WASHINGTON

Question: what did both Jo Ann and her dorm mate both have?

“This knocked me off my feet,” she said, adding, “when I left Sweet Briar, there was no question that I would go on to graduate school.” Jo Ann Soderquist Kramer, class of ’64, said that when she arrived for her freshman year, she and her roommate each unpacked identical framed 8-by-10 photographs of their high school sweethearts and set them carefully on their bureaus. She also recalled being driven all the way to Massachusetts one football weekend (the sweethearts were Amherst and Williams men) in a white Cadillac with a hired driver named Coffee Jackson.

Question: What type of jobs are harder to come by nowadays compared to Melville's Day?

In my line of work, grimness of the mouth sets in after I’ve eaten too many things that are trying so hard to impress that they lose touch with anything that comes close to pleasure. And each time I see a roomful of people handing hundreds or thousands of dollars over to a chef who stopped caring a long time ago, my mood turns distinctly Novemberish. Whaling jobs being harder to come by than in Melville’s day, my sea voyages usually take the form of a short ride to a cheap restaurant where warm flavors from another part of the world will burn off my interior drizzle. Recently, these rides have ended at Chomp Chomp in Greenwich Village for radish cakes, noodle soups with transporting powers, coconut rice, triangles of golden beef-filled roti wet with curry sauce, and other treats from the food courts of Singapore.

Question: Who has the second biggest economy?

Policy makers need to do more to shift the economy away from investment and toward consumer demand and services. The central bank’s decision to remove limits on deposit rates is a good step in that direction, because it should force banks to compete with one another to attract savers. Because they could not earn much by depositing money in banks, a lot of Chinese families invested in risky real estate projects or the inflated stock market. Now, they should have better options. Because it is the world’s second-biggest economy, China’s monetary and fiscal policies increasingly matter to the rest of the world. If the country’s growth slows sharply in the coming months, that could help to tip the already fragile global economy into another recession.

Question: Where did the Rangers play hockey that night?

The Rangers salvaged at least part of Harvey’s night. Around the time that Harvey took the mound, the Rangers took the ice at Madison Square Garden for the most important game of their season, Game 5 of their Eastern Conference semifinal against the Washington Capitals in a series in which they trailed by three games to one. There was no video board at Citizens Bank Park showing the score. The right-field scoreboard displayed minor league baseball scores. But it would not have been surprising if Harvey was a bit curious about how the Rangers were faring. Harvey may be the Rangers’ most prominent and identifiable fan. The last few years, he has been spotted at numerous Rangers games, sometimes with a woman by his side. He and Henrik Lundqvist, the Rangers’ goalie, are friends. Jon Niese has been to Rangers games with Harvey twice. He said they had arranged for tickets through a Mets staff member, who coordinates with the Rangers, and they inevitably ended up sitting in a prime location near other celebrities.

Question: What did Washington fear that Russia would do to Ukraine?

From the earliest days of the war, the government in Kiev had asked for military help from the United States. Its request for a sophisticated antitank missile went nowhere, as Washington feared it would just encourage Russia to send more weapons and men to Ukraine. What eventually arrived was basic training.

Question: Why wouldn't you delete them?

If you want to sling between computers files that you did not purchase in iTunes — like audio tracks ripped from your own CDs — using your Dropbox folder as a transfer station can work. However, to avoid seeing exclamation marks or other errors because of original files gone missing from the first iTunes library, drag copies of the tracks out of the iTunes window to the desktop Dropbox folder, or copy over duplicates from your iTunes Media folder to Dropbox. Once you get to your second computer and open your synced Dropbox folder there, import the tracks into that system’s iTunes’s library. You can delete them out of your Dropbox folder at that point, but if you leave them there, you can play and view many types of unrestricted files on a smartphone or tablet by opening and streaming them through the Dropbox mobile app.

Question: What was Dean Crutchfield said about the moving company ad?

The advertiser, Dumbo Moving and Storage, hoped the ad would make riders do a double take. The image hints at an intimate encounter without showing it and even promotes a positive message about safe sex, said Lior Rachmany, the company’s chief executive. “Obviously it’s kind of intriguing to the eye,” Mr. Rachmany said, “but it’s not too suggestive, if you ask me.” Dean Crutchfield, a senior vice president at Sterling Brands, a brand consulting firm, said the moving company ad clearly depicted sexual activity and had nothing to do with the business.

Question: How many days passed before informing the Police Department?

Mr. Arlia argues that someone else made that hole and that the detective, who maintains he had no idea who was actually in the Range Rover, assumed it had been broken by a projectile from inside the car. “He actually thought it was an attack from within and he reacted,” Mr. Arlia argued. “He never had any purposeful intent to cause harm.” Mr. Steinglass pointed out in his opening that Detective Braszczok never intervened when he saw Mr. Lien assaulted, nor did he call the uniformed police. According to a witness at a pretrial hearing, the detective waited two days before telling the Police Department that he had been involved in the attack, a decision his lawyer attributed to his fear that he would be fired. Three hours after the assault, Mr. Steinglass pointed out, Detective Braszczok sent two texts to colleagues in the Police Department, one saying the biker tour was “mayhem” and another stating “it was fun.”

Question: What is the central figure of the home that is flanked by two large windows?

INDOORS: The house was built in 1928 and renovated within the last 10 years, at which point a wing was added. The exterior is limestone, likely quarried in the region, and the style is a subset of Tudor revival called Cotswold, known for steeply pitched gables and prominent front chimneys. The new wing was designed by Stock & Stone Architecture of Columbus, which the listing agent says is known for its work on older houses. Through the front door, there’s a foyer that leads to a living room with a high pitched ceiling and a fireplace flanked by large windows. The exposed ceiling beams are original, as is much of the chestnut woodwork, complemented by stone floors laid during renovations. On one side of the foyer are a breakfast room and a kitchen, with appliances updated over the last 10 years. On the other side of the foyer is a wing with three bedrooms and two bathrooms; another bedroom and bathroom are upstairs.

Question: What Did Lauder tell Leive that people need to say who asks for the job?

I always ask people why they want the job. There’s not one right answer, but I want to see that there is a reason. Years ago, Leonard Lauder [the former C.E.O. of the Estée Lauder Companies] told me that somebody needs to ask for the job, to say something along the lines of: “I really want this position. I think I could do something great with it, and I’d be so excited to join your team. What else can I do to convince you?” If they haven’t said that, then they haven’t gone far enough. I’m always pleased when somebody does that.

Question: He was howmuch likely   nice with my father?

Laudomia Pucci, the interim chief executive of Emilio Pucci and Mr. Pucci’s daughter, attested to Mr. Fairchild’s particular mixture of kindness and cutting. “He was extremely, extremely nice with my father, whenever he talked to him,” she said. “But at the same time, he had that niceness and then this very dry sense of humor.”

Question: Is Mr. Jeffries for or against Bloomberg's support for police stops?

“What you’ve done, you’ve implemented a federal court order,” Representative Hakeem Jeffries, a Democrat from Brooklyn, said last month. “That’s all that happened.” Mr. Jeffries is one of several elected officials who have chafed at the mayor’s continued support for the so-called broken windows policing strategy. As with the stop-and-frisk approach, they say, the aggressive enforcement of minor offenses unfairly targets young black and Hispanic men. Mr. de Blasio has said broken windows must evolve with the times.

Question: What is the position of Deborah J Glick?

Assemblywoman Deborah J. Glick, a Democrat whose district includes the area and who was a plaintiff in the case, said the decision “puts the limited open space that we jealously guard and protect totally at risk everywhere in the city.” Andrew Berman, the executive director of the Greenwich Village Society for Historic Preservation, said his organization was consulting its lawyers about any other legal recourse that might stop or alter the expansion. “We’re already suffering from an extreme over-concentration of N.Y.U.-related uses,” Mr. Berman said. “Thousands of additional people and millions of additional square feet of construction is eventually going to make the Village feel like a company town.”

Question: Who moved into abandoned houses such as Mr. Shoul's?

POUZE KHOON, Iran —  The early-morning sun meagerly brightened the gloom of this sad township, a collection of empty, crumbling houses along a highway through the dusty desert landscape in southeastern Iran. Until a decade or so ago, Amin Shoul would come here every year to help his father harvest pistachios, the nuts that are as much a symbol of Iran as caviar. Now, with the last reserves of groundwater tapped out, the family’s grove and the seemingly endless fields beyond it are filled with dead trees, their bone-colored branches a deathly contrast to the turquoise sky. Mr. Shoul, 32, a journalist, said he and his family had moved away years ago, leaving the house to squatters, unemployed laborers living off meager government stipends — and even they had started to leave. “I don’t see how we can ever return to the past,” he remarked, matter-of-factly.

Question: What did the research lead to believe about chimpanzees?

An article on Wednesday about research suggesting that chimpanzees have the cognitive ability to cook misstated, at one point, the surname of the Harvard anthropologist who hypothesized that cooking has driven changes in human evolution. As the article correctly noted elsewhere, he is Richard Wrangham, not Wrangell. BUSINESS DAY An article on Tuesday about a decision by the airbag manufacturer Takata to continue using a chemical compound deemed dangerous by experts misstated the point at which the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration began receiving complaints about rupturing Takata airbags. It was in 2001, not “almost 15 years ago.” The error was repeated in articles on Sept. 15, 2014, and on May 20, which referred to the complaints as having started in 2000, rather than 2001. • An article on May 23 about the environmental threat posed by plastic microbeads used as exfoliating agents in personal care products misstated the source of PHA, a naturally occurring plastic that one company is developing as a biodegradable substitute. It is produced by bacteria, not by mushrooms. SPORTS

Question: Why are defectors like Mr. Shin tempted to obscure the truth?

Mr. Shin has been examined by doctors who believe he was subjected to torture and child labor, given the evidence of his scars and unnaturally bowed arms. We shouldn’t lose sight of that when discussing his lies. It’s easy to see how Mr. Shin was tempted to obscure the truth. For defectors, sometimes doing so is the only way to survive. My own story starts with my escape in 1997, when I was 17. I did not crawl through a tunnel or over an electrified-wire fence, nor was I spirited in disguise across the demilitarized zone. I lived near the border with China, and one night I simply left home and walked across the iced-over river that separated the two countries. I was fortunate that my family had close relationships with some of the border guards, so I was able to cross without incident. At the time, I thought I would return home after a brief visit. I stayed in hiding for a while, learning Chinese. Eventually my Chinese became so fluent that I could pass for a local. Still, I was terrified of being captured or betrayed, so I created a false identity. Staying in China provided me with the opportunity to adjust to life outside of North Korea, and to gain a sense of perspective, most importantly, by learning that so much of what I had been taught about my country was a lie. In the early days, I considered going to South Korea, but I had internalized everything I had been told my whole life: South Korea was the enemy. I believed going there would be a betrayal of my country — and that my family might be punished as a result. Ultimately, I learned that I could go to South Korea by giving up my real identity, which would ensure my family back home would be safe. Once I got there, I faced the same challenges as the 27,000 other defectors who have now made it to the South. They struggle from a lack of education and job skills, discrimination, loneliness and emotional turmoil. Many drop out of school. Suicide rates are unusually high. Many defectors who fail to acclimatize even return to the North. We have no way of knowing how many have returned — and it’s unclear what eventually happens to them — but Pyongyang has started using these “double defectors” for its propaganda.

Question: Where were the Uighurs detained by Thai security forces?

Many Uighurs have been trying to flee China to Turkey, usually by first traveling overland through Southeast Asian countries to Malaysia. Last year, hundreds of Uighurs in separate groups, most of them women and children, were detained by Thai security forces in the jungles of southern Thailand. They told Thai officials that they were Turkish citizens, and they were later visited by diplomats from the Turkish Embassy in Bangkok. Chinese officials insisted to the Thai government that the migrants be sent back to China. The fate of those migrant Uighurs is unclear.

Question: Did Mr. Bush succeed in convincing Latino voters he had something better to offer them?

In less than 15 minutes, Mr. Bush managed to step on his message, to give Mr. Trump a boost and to offend Asian-Americans, a growing population that is every bit as important as Latinos in winning presidential elections. And he failed to give Latino voters any persuasive evidence that he had anything better to offer them than his opponents in a revoltingly xenophobic Republican campaign. It may be time to offer this forlorn candidate some free advice. Although if he really is the smarter Bush, he knows these things already:

Question: What was Mark D. Luschini first quote?

“There are creeping worries that inflation, which was seen as nonexistent, will soon be part of landscape,” said Mark D.

Question: What type of victims do these criminals choose?

In the old days, criminals liked their ransom payments in briefcases full of unmarked bills. These days, there’s a new preferred method for hostage takers: the virtual currency Bitcoin. In a modern day version of a mob shakedown, hackers around the world have seized files on millions of computers, taken down public websites and even, in a few cases, threatened physical harm. The victims — who have ranged from ordinary computer users to financial firms and police departments — are told that their only way out is through a Bitcoin payment that is sometimes more than $20,000.

Question: What is Ms Sabbagh a member of?

But the arresting stories of the two unarmed women, and most of all the vivid images of Ms. Sabbagh’s death, have dramatized the police violence more effectively than any statistics, rights advocates say. “She is a member of a very tame opposition party, by no means a revolutionary, and yet she is subjected to this brutal force,” said Amr Abdel Rahman, a researcher with the Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights. “The streets are becoming much less safe for Egyptian activists from any walk of the political spectrum than it was even last year,” he said.

Question: What does the article consider "a low point for Jermy Corbyn?"

The run-up to the vote also amounted to a low point for Jeremy Corbyn, the new leader of the opposition Labour Party. While Mr. Corbyn opposes British military action over Syria, some of Labour’s senior figures, including the party’s spokesman on foreign affairs, Hilary Benn, supported it, and Mr. Corbyn was forced to allow his lawmakers to vote freely on the issue in an effort to avoid a intraparty clash amid threatened resignations. In an impassioned speech that won a rousing reception Wednesday night, Mr. Benn argued that “every state has the right to defend itself” and asked “why would we not uphold the settled will of the United Nations?”

Question: What is the name of the play that focuses on Liberia's civil war?

An article last Sunday about three women involved with the play “Eclipsed,” which focuses on Liberia’s civil war, using information from a publicist, referred incorrectly to a big-budget project that one of the women, the director Liesl Tommy, is working on. It is a stage adaptation of a movie, not a movie. • An article last Sunday about an exhibition that Steve Martin is curating at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles misstated part of the name of a musical that he is working on with Edie Brickell. It is “Bright Star,” not “Bright Eyes.” The article also referred incorrectly to Mr. Martin’s working relationship with the museum. In 2003, Mr. Martin wrote wall text for artworks in the exhibition “Writings on the Wall”; his tribute to the photographer Cindy Sherman in 2012 wasn’t “his only prior connection to the museum.” And a picture credit with the article misidentified the source of the image “Mountains in Snow: Rocky Mountain Paintings VII.” It was the Thomson Collection/Art Gallery of Ontario, not Michael Cullen.

Question: What city did the third trial take place in?

Fourteen years after four men were convicted in a trial stemming from the deadly 1998 bombings of two United States Embassies in East Africa, a third trial in that attack began in Manhattan on Thursday. The defendant, Khaled al-Fawwaz, is one of the earliest and most senior alleged members of Al Qaeda to be tried in the United States. In an opening statement at the trial, a federal prosecutor, Nicholas J. Lewin, depicted Mr. Fawwaz as a loyal and trusted operative who had worked for Osama bin Laden in the 1990s when Al Qaeda was a small, tight-knit group.

Question: Who were left by her puzzling action?

Instead, investigators, commuters and even people close to her were left to try to make sense of her puzzling actions.

Question: What is the Brooklyn Law School tuition-reimbursement program trying to help?

Though not eligible for the program, Jared Brenner, 25, a recent Brooklyn Law School graduate with a job offer from a large firm to do transactional work for start-up companies, believed it would encourage students to take risks after leaving school. Brooklyn Law School graduates could pursue their passion, he said, knowing that the school would provide some financial relief if that pursuit proved fruitless. Mr. Leipold, of the law placement association, said Brooklyn Law School’s program struck him as unusual, though he noted that other law schools were trying different ways to help students navigate a challenging job market. “It’s a time of experimentation and risk-taking for law schools,” he said. A more common approach, he said, was for schools to finance fellowships for students, often at nonprofits, to help them gain experience until they can find full-time jobs. Such programs can, however, be expensive for the schools, he added. For Brian Hoffman, 25, who, like Ms. Friedman, has started a two-year program at Brooklyn Law School, the tuition-reimbursement program provides some reassurance. “It’s something that I hope I don’t have to bank on,” he said, “but it’s nice to have.”

Question: What is the name of the professional basketball team in Arizona?

PHOENIX —  The eye was inexorably drawn to LeBron James during his return to the Cleveland Cavaliers’ lineup on Tuesday night. In a 107-100 loss to the Phoenix Suns — Cleveland’s sixth straight defeat and ninth in 10 games — James played so many roles it was as if he were channeling the actor Alan Cumming in his 2013 one-man Broadway show, “Macbeth.” Except no Cavaliers fans were applauding at the end. Their team is now below .500, with a 19-20 record no one could have foreseen before the season began. James’s homecoming has clearly run aground.

In a 107-100 loss to the <hl> Phoenix Suns <hl> — Cleveland’s sixth straight defeat and ninth in 10 games — James played so many roles it was as if he were channeling the actor Alan Cumming in his 2013 one-man Broadway show, “Macbeth.” Except no Cavaliers fans were applauding at the end. Their team is now below .500, with a 19-20 record no one could have foreseen before the season began. James’s homecoming has clearly run aground.


Question: Snyder's team is compared unfavorably to which other team?

While the Giants are methodical, embracing change with the speed of a glacier, Snyder has presided over change after change in futile pursuit of buying, leasing or renting a championship. So far, that effort has seen him burn through eight head coaches and more than a dozen starting quarterbacks. The only thing Snyder has not changed — and the one thing he should — is his team’s offensive nickname. “Redskins” has become a weight that hangs around the franchise’s neck like a yoke. More critically, on Snyder’s watch, Washington has seemingly ruined quarterback Robert Griffin III.

Question: What food is hard and oval?

Those hard oval shells contain what some call nature’s perfect food: high-quality protein; a balance of saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats; and important nutrients like vitamins A and D and calcium. And the federal government is about to retire its decades-old warnings about another element in eggs: cholesterol.

Question: Who is Kyrgios's older brother?

Remarks from Kyrgios’s family only worsened his situation. His mother, Nill, said his insult was justified because of Wawrinka’s criticism of Kyrgios months earlier, writing on Twitter, “A sledge for a sledge,” while using an Australian term for an insult. Kyrgios’s older brother, Christos, made crude comments about Vekic and threatening comments toward Wawrinka and was kicked off the air during a radio interview for making a crude pun. (The Cincinnati tournament reportedly denied Christos Kyrgios a credential to the player areas, although he sat in the front row for his brother’s match against Gasquet.) Kyrgios on Tuesday declined to answer any direct questions about his or his family’s remarks. On Saturday — on the same court where Kyrgios eventually lost Tuesday — Kokkinakis was again dragged into the fray, ending up in a heated altercation with the American Ryan Harrison, his opponent in the first round of qualifying. After a testy handshake ended a match full of flare-ups, the two had to be separated by the chair umpire. Harrison then lumped in Kokkinakis — a young Greek-Australian with a prominent earring, like Kyrgios, but generally a far milder presence — with his maligned compatriot.

Question: What is Gennady Barabtarlo known for?

In “Letters to Véra” every incidental character — including those whom even the memorious Nabokov might not have recalled years later, and whose years of birth and death he would hardly ever have known, and who played no role worth mention in even a voluminous biography — would be identified, if possible, and usually by Voronina. She also solicited the aid of other Russian scholars, especially the chess master and logodaedalist Gennady Barabtarlo, who helped solve the riddles Vladimir posed for Véra. Credit where credit is due: The assiduity is Olga Voronina’s much more than mine. BRIAN BOYD

Question: What is the name of the agreement between Ukraine and Russian-backed rebels?

“I see no reason to delay,” said Linas Linkevicius, the foreign minister of Lithuania. He noted that a cease-fire, known as the Minsk agreement, between the Ukrainian government and Russian-backed separatist rebels had not yet been fully carried out. “If we don’t see real progress in the implementation of the Minsk agreement, then we need to go further,” said Didier Reynders, the Belgian foreign minister. “Without that, we need to prolong the sanctions.” Federica Mogherini, the high representative of the European Union for foreign affairs and security policy, told reporters at a news conference on Monday that the union could reach a political decision as soon as Thursday at the summit meeting here. “The general assessment today was clearly going in the direction of the rollover of sanctions,” she said.

Question: What suprise did Mr. Putin announce two years ago?

He even gave a few hints of his closely guarded family life, talking proudly of his two adult daughters, who he said were living in Russia and “taking the first steps of their careers.” Mr. Putin likes to throw in a few surprises on these occasions, as he did two years ago by announcing the release of an imprisoned oil tycoon, Mikhail B. Khodorkovsky. This year, he rose to the defense of Sepp Blatter, the embattled president of soccer’s world governing body, FIFA, who is under criminal investigation for corruption, saying Mr. Blatter should be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. And he even inserted himself into the Republican presidential primary contest in the United States, speaking highly of Mr. Trump in remarks after the news conference ended.

Question: Where was the location of the reef where the boaters were stranded?

Team Abu Dhabi finished third in Lorient behind Team Vestas Wind, extending its overall lead in the race. Lessons learned from the Vestas team’s accident have been put into effect in the race, and navigational improvements will probably make their way to the average boater in the future. On Nov. 29, the boat was reaching nearly 20 miles per hour when it drove into the Cargados Carajos Shoals, an atoll 200 miles from Mauritius. The crew of nine was unhurt and left stranded on the reef. The stranded members were assisted by Team Alvimedica and were rescued after a harrowing night in breaking waves and razor-sharp coral.

Question: Who is the Greek finance minister?

But the strategy has been controversial, and it was criticized by none other than Yanis Varoufakis, the Greek finance minister, who, a year ago described the practice as a “hidden bailout from European taxpayers.”  Mr. Varoufakis, then a relatively unknown economist, argued that the loans were a potent risk for Greece, which would have to assume responsibility for them if the banks failed. The practice has also been flagged by two German economists as a questionable way for troubled eurozone economies to extract funding from the central bank.
