Question: What does the cities feel a need for?

Three states — California, New Jersey and Rhode Island — offer paid family leave, and several cities, including Boston and Seattle this year, have begun offering parental leave to city employees. “We always knew that we need national standards, but historically in our country, workplace changes happen first at the state or local level,” said Ellen Bravo, executive director of Family Values @ Work, a network of groups pushing for paid leave.

Question: What group did Mr. Kohlberg, Mr. Kravis and Mr. Roberts attempt to form within Bear Stearns?

That model has underpinned the basic private equity deal ever since. While at Bear Stearns, Mr. Kohlberg became the mentor of two promising Wall Street types, the cousins Mr. Kravis and Mr. Roberts, who quickly took to this form of deal-making. But others at the firm began to grumble about the three spending too much time away from bread-and-butter business of the firm, investment banking. After an attempt to form a leveraged-buyout group within Bear Stearns was rejected, the three men struck out on their own. With the help of eight investors, including Mr. Kravis’s father and Mr. Kohlberg’s $5 million nest egg, they set up Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Company in Midtown Manhattan. Though the early years of the firm were sometimes lean, K.K.R.’s business model proved alluring, prompting a growing stream of competitors eager to reap huge profits from deals made with borrowed money.

Question: where did Dr. Pai go to school?

At first blush, Dr. Pai’s profile and career seem at odds with the stereotype that has long been affixed to midcentury graduates of Sweet Briar: as Southern belles (perhaps accompanied by their horses) polished to a high sheen for careers as wives, mothers and volunteers. Yet the Pink Bubble, as Sweet Briar women have long called their alma mater, has also nurtured generations of feisty professionals, many of them working in the sciences, who attended the school before the era of widespread coeducation at the college level. Since March, when the school’s board suddenly said it would close the college because of dwindling enrollment and strapped finances, a campaign to save it has pursued legal and other actions with increasing gusto and success; last month, the Commonwealth of Virginia sued to keep the college open. Last week, a judge ruled that, for a period of 60 days, the board could not close the school using funds solicited for its operation.. The campaign #Save Sweet Briar has raised $1 million, and another $10 million has been pledged. Against this backdrop, the experiences of Sweet Briar’s postwar graduates, who have been galvanized by the campaign and are reconnecting on Facebook, email and by phone, paint a vivid picture of an era marked by conflicting cultures: one that was still defined by hostess houses, white gloves and the “ring before spring” doctrine that cast women’s colleges as mere finishing schools, and one with a commitment to educating women for roles far from the home.

Question: What keeps the people fearful and distraught in the United States?

The good earth was having a terrible year. The United States was torn by assassinations, violence in the cities, the war in Vietnam. Then came the astronauts’ words of solace, and the stunning photograph they took that day, of our planet rising, white and blue, over the ashen moon: so lustrous and lovely and, from a distance anyway, serene. Apollo 8 helped end the year on a note of hope and grace. Humanity being what it is, the world remains a place of suffering and calamity. In 2015, catastrophes in the Middle East spread misery and terror the world over. The United States was brutalized, as ever, by the tyranny of gunfire. Our coarsened politics, so expert at keeping the populace fearful and distraught, got ever louder and cruder in the heat of a presidential race. The strutting and fretting promise only to get worse in 2016.

Question: What were Huckabee's previous professions?

HOPE, Ark. —  Mike Huckabee, who excited evangelical voters in his first presidential race in 2008 and retains much of their good will, announced on Tuesday that he would again seek the Republican nomination despite a crowded field of rivals for his natural base in the party. A former Southern Baptist pastor and Arkansas governor, Mr. Huckabee is returning in hopes of once more dominating among social conservatives, but he is acutely aware he needs broader support to avoid the snares of last time, when he ran dry of money and failed to appeal much beyond the South. After describing a childhood of school prayer, fishing for catfish and running for student council in Hope, Mr. Huckabee said, “So it seems perfectly fitting that it would be here that I announce I am a candidate for president of the United States.”

Question: James wanted Donald Sterling removed as the owner of which team?

In the Brown mold, James, at 30, has emerged as a leader off the court as he has matured as a player. He was vocal in calling for the removal of the Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling last year. He wore an “I Can’t Breathe” T-shirt to protest acts of police violence, and last month, he called for calm when a white Cleveland policeman was acquitted in the shooting deaths of two black motorists. “In a subtler way, he has had to carry the same kind of burden and use the same kind of wisdom,” Brown said. “For him to have to have the ability to deal with the politics of being back in Cleveland, dealing with the politics of his own team, I have great admiration for what I see as a great contribution by a human being on and off the field. “

Question: What is going to be passed soon by Montgomery County?

Oregon, Philadelphia and Emeryville, Calif., have all passed paid sick-leave policies this year, and Montgomery County, Md., is expected to soon.

Question: According to the article, how many people hold the same wealth as the worlds 3.6 billion most impoverish people combined?

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: What does David Garnek collect as a hobby?

David Ganek, a Manhattan socialite and art collector whose $4 billion Level Global was one of the funds raided, sued Mr. Bharara on Thursday, claiming that the government violated his constitutional rights by fabricating accusations against him. The lawsuit against Mr. Bharara, the United States attorney in Manhattan, also named as defendants the federal prosecutors and F.B.I. agents who orchestrated the raid. While legal experts said Mr. Ganek’s lawsuit could be a long shot, it comes at a time when Mr. Bharara’s image as an invincible prosecutor — racking up convictions on Wall Street and setting his sights on Albany’s power brokers — is beginning to fray. Mr. Bharara’s crackdown on Wall Street, for one, is facing judicial challenges. Recently, a federal appeals court ruling overturned the convictions of two hedge fund traders, including Anthony Chiasson, Mr. Ganek’s partner at Level Global. And Sheldon Silver, the state assembly speaker whom Mr. Bharara recently indicted, has complained that the prosecutor’s office is fighting his case in the news media.

Question: Where did the Koch brothers get praise from OBama?

Question: What did people believe would happen if women was focused on gender equality?

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

Question: Who is given an elaborate dressing table and mirror?

For this rashness, he is obliged to leave Tokyo and go to Osaka on his own, to work with a new troupe. A year later, Otoku follows. In one of the film’s most moving scenes, she gives Kiku an elaborate dressing table and mirror, which barely fits into their tiny living quarters. And so Kiku’s artistic redemption begins, even as the couple’s material circumstances dwindle. While “Osaka Elegy” and “Sisters of the Gion,” the two Mizoguchi pictures of this period that have been most widely seen in the West, were relatively brisk features, “Chrysanthemum,” at nearly two and a half hours, shows the director working in an expansive mode, one that would flower even more fully with his postwar masterpieces such as “The Life of Oharu,” “Ugetsu” and “Sansho the Bailiff.”

Question: What state are the proposals being made in?

Mayor Bill de Blasio is calling for an overhaul of housing programs and tax incentives to spur the construction of tens of thousands of apartments for poor New Yorkers, as well as teachers, firefighters and other workers, who increasingly find themselves priced out of a booming real estate market and rapidly gentrifying neighborhoods. The proposals, which would require approval by the State Legislature, are central to the mayor’s promise to build or preserve 200,000 units of affordable housing over 10 years.

Question: Which state is likely the most conservative in the United States?

Consider Idaho, arguably the reddest state in the union, where Republicans control everything but a handful of latte stands. After much bluster and protest, Idaho politicians caved and set up a state health care exchange under Obamacare. To the surprise of the experts, Idahoans have embraced the private coverage available under the Affordable Care Act — “one of the most successful enrollments of any state,” as Kaiser Health News reported. Obama was in Boise on Wednesday, speaking to a crowd of more than 6,000 people at an event where all tickets were gone within an hour. “Now there are 10 black people in Idaho,” was one of the tweets from Boise. The president was fully energized, jocular, primed for a strong finish. A handful of protesters held up the usual hate posters, one comparing him to Hitler. But it did not escape notice that his motorcade passed a Shell station selling regular gasoline for $1.77 a gallon.

“Do not ignore me, as it will just increase the price,” DD4BC said in one email that was made public. “Once you pay me you are free from me for the lifetime of your site.” Ted Weisberg, the president of the brokerage firm Seaport Securities, which was hit in June, said that he initially thought the message was a joke. But as he called competitors, he said, he quickly learned that the threat was real. Seaport’s website ended up being down for a day and a half. Mr. Weisberg’s firm did not pay the ransom and repelled the bombardment of traffic with the help of one of its technical providers.

Question: How many drowning deaths occurred in 1990?

The Global Burden of Disease study does not answer these questions directly, but it makes clear where to start looking for best practices. Individual countries can see in what areas they’re leading or lagging, often for the first time, then look to peers for advice or vice versa. Injury prevention may get one of the biggest boosts because global public health leaders have often ignored injuries as health risks, focusing instead on major diseases. Take drowning. For decades, it has been one of the 20 biggest killers worldwide, but the World Health Organization issued its first report dedicated to drowning only in November 2014. Effective prevention strategies include teaching swimming, providing life jackets, fencing off open water and training emergency medical responders. Drowning deaths also tend to decline as countries urbanize and when income and education increase. China, which both urbanized and started prevention programs, saw drowning deaths plunge from 190,000 in 1990 to 64,000 in 2013, Global Burden found. In India, drowning deaths barely budged, falling from an estimated 91,000 to 88,000 in the same period. David Meddings, an epidemiologist who was executive editor of the W.H.O. report, noted that China’s gains may partly reflect changes in the way deaths are reported, but that the improvement was still powerful.

Question: What are some other suggestions by the experts?

Yet, as agricultural interests prepare a major push to get water projects built, doubts are growing about whether spending huge sums to pour high walls of concrete are the best way to solve California’s water problems. Many independent experts, and almost all environmental groups, argue that dams would supply relatively little water for the money. They contend that Californians need to move aggressively to more modern methods of water management, reducing waste to a minimum and learning to live within the limits imposed by an arid environment.

Answer: reducing waste to a minimum

Question: On what avenue does the Tracy Mansion reside?

A principal draw of Park Slope has always been the rolling meadows and sinuous paths of Prospect Park, a masterpiece designed by Calvert Vaux and Frederick Law Olmsted. The neighborhood, home to about 60,000, stretches west from the park to the rumbling river of traffic known as Fourth Avenue, and south from Flatbush Avenue. There is no unanimity on the southern boundary. Many longtime residents define it as 15th Street; others say the vicinity of the Prospect Expressway. Spurred in part by the opening of the Brooklyn Bridge in 1883, a Gold Coast of ornate townhouses and mansions arose around Plaza Street and Prospect Park West. Some of these were later replaced by fine prewar apartment houses, but others survive. On Prospect Park West, a Romanesque Revival limestone mansion houses the Poly Prep Lower School; next door, a neo-Jacobean mansion built for a Bon Ami cleansing powder magnate is now home to the Brooklyn Society for Ethical Culture. At 105 Eighth Avenue, the neoclassical Tracy Mansion, which served for years as a Montessori school, is on the market for $13 million.

Question: Who was making rounds?

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: Where does W. McIntyre Burnham work?

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

Question: Which perception of life does the viewer perceive?

The world this award-winning 72-year-old Swedish filmmaker creates is an indelible one. Populated by pasty-faced men in suits and assorted other hapless souls, his last three features have unfolded like a series of blackout sketches in what resemble preserved dioramas of life. In his newest, “A Pigeon Sat on a Branch Reflecting on Existence,” a man drops dead in the capacious cafeteria of a cruise ship, leading the cashier to offer up the man’s tray of food and drink. In the back of the room, a diner’s hand shyly goes up: He’ll take the beer. “Pigeon,” as Mr. Andersson has referred to it, opens June 3 at Film Forum, preceded by a retrospective at the Museum of Arts and Design showing the other two films in Mr. Anderson’s so-called “Living” trilogy as well as shorts. Each shot in the features has the same deadpan, uncanny look, opening on a deep-focus view of some room or bar, viewed slightly askew, with muted gray or beige walls or sidewalks.

Question: What does the natural gas from fracking displace?

There was recently a vogue for polemical antifracking documentaries like “Gasland” that purport to show that fracking is causing flammable tap water and other horrors. But a recent Environmental Protection Agency study found that there was no evidence that fracking was causing widespread harm to the nation’s water supply. On the contrary, there’s some evidence that fracking is a net environmental plus. That’s because cheap natural gas from fracking displaces coal. A study by the Breakthrough Institute found coal-powered electricity declined to 37 percent from 50 percent of the generation mix between 2007 and 2012. Because natural gas has just half as much global-warming potential as coal, energy-related carbon emissions have declined more in the U.S. than in any other country over that time. Fracking has also been an enormous boon to the nation’s wealth and the well-being of its people. In a new report called “America’s Unconventional Energy Opportunity,” Michael E. Porter, David S. Gee and Gregory J. Pope conclude that gas and oil resources extracted through fracking have already added more than $430 billion to annual gross domestic product and supported more than 2.7 million jobs that pay, on average, twice the median U.S. salary.

Question: Who founded Gawker?

Some of the areas of coverage that those sites focused on will now be addressed by the remaining seven sites. Jezebel, he said, will now “become the primary voice for celebrity and pop culture coverage in the network.” Gizmodo, which recently hired a new editor, Katie Drummond, from Bloomberg, will take over the coverage of science fiction, fantasy and futurism that was previously handled by the site io9. Seven people will lose their jobs in the revamping, although six jobs will be created. Plans to license Gawker’s content management system, Kinja, will be shelved. Gawker.com, the first site founded by Mr. Denton, had been seen as the quintessential Manhattan media and gossip publication of the Internet age — a destination for ambitious, young writers eager to cover the industry and the powerful figures who populate it. It has been no stranger to turmoil itself, with frequent changes among its top newsroom leadership, scandals over subjects it has covered or materials it has published. Disagreements in its staff have often broken into public view. But the announcement on Tuesday represents a more fundamental change of direction for the site and the company.

Question: when did Essid propose his cabinet?

Prime Minister Habib Essid presented his second government in two weeks on Monday, this time including more parties and a position for Islamists. The cabinet he proposed on Jan. 23 consisted of just two parties and did not survive a no-confidence vote. It has now been expanded to involve five parties, including one post — that of employment minister — for the powerful Islamist party, Ennahda. Mr. Essid’s Nida Tunis party won the most seats in October’s election but still needed to form a coalition. The government faces a confidence vote in Parliament on Wednesday, which it is expected to pass.

Question: What has Burkina Faso set up at the entrances of cities for Sunday's voting?

Security forces disrupted what was described as a “large-scale attack” in Burkina Faso, arresting 13 suspects and seizing weapons and bomb-making materials in the west near Mali’s border, the security minister said Friday. News of the arrests comes two days before the West African nation holds elections, capping a turbulent period that began with a popular uprising in October 2014 and a brief, failed coup in September. Burkina Faso has set up checkpoints at the entrances to cities and plans to close its borders for Sunday’s voting.

Question: What app is free on IOS?

FYI Decision, which is free for iOS, is a great alternative to ChoiceMap and Decision Buddy. The app works in similar ways, using a slider system for rating how much each of the influencing factors should weigh into the decision. But this app’s strength is that it displays the results more visually, with charts that show how your ratings affected the recommended outcome. If you’re choosing a car to buy, for example, you can see how your concern about price would affect the available models. I love this app’s simplicity, but it’s worth pointing out that it is supported by advertising, and the pop-up ads can be annoying. It costs $3 to upgrade to remove the ads. The upgrade also allows it to output results as a PDF.

Question: What is the vibe that the owners seem to give inside of their business?

Noreetuh has plenty of dishes for a successful first visit. Dinner will be particularly fun for wine lovers because Mr. Ahn has compiled an overachieving list of German rieslings, Burgundies in both colors, grower Champagnes and more far-flung treats. Better still, the prices are low; just by sticking to your budget, you can drink at a higher level than usual. Noreetuh may have a trickier time converting new diners into regulars, though. The two dining rooms, while tasteful enough, don’t have anything you could really call atmosphere. Noreetuh means “playground” in Korean, and the owners seem to want to give a party. But where did they find their DJ.? A Motown hit parade is followed by “Yellow Submarine,” and then by Taylor Swift, Natalie La Rose and, gosh, is that really Taylor Swift, twice in one night?

Question: In spite of his humility, what does Pope Francis acknowledge about himself?

I spent a lot of time trying to figure out how Tarcisius might have gotten away unscathed. Maybe by pretending to have a sore throat? It seemed important to identify the best strategy, because some modern-day version of the Huns or pagan Romans could arrive at any minute. Catholicism was, as I learned after the Pius XII incident, the largest faith in my city. Many of our teachers were probably only a generation away from being picked-on immigrants, and maybe they brought their sense of paranoia with them to the classrooms. That’s understandable, but being both the powerful majority and the persecuted minority is like having your cake and eating it, and then taking over the bakery and bolting the front door. This brings us back to Pope Francis, a humble man who accepts that he’s very powerful. He may have a little car and a modest home, but when he looks out at the world, his gaze isn’t defensive. He wants Catholicism to thrive — on a planet without global warming. He knows there are places where Catholics are suffering terribly for their faith, but when he looks at an embattled flock, he also sees Muslim immigrants who need Christian countries to open their borders.

Question: What book by Evelyn Waugh is one of Hicklin's favorites?

Hicklin said he will eventually launch projects such as in-room book selections at hotels, or perhaps book-concierge services on flights. But for now, he’s happy to keep the project small and localized. “I’m running this store out of completely selfish motivation,” he said. “I get the benefit from being surrounded by books in this beautiful location, engaging with people in an environment that I create and that reflects my sensibility.” Below, Hicklin shared his own list — the 10 books he’d want with him on a desert island. “Tess of the D’Urbervilles,” by Thomas Hardy; “Another Country,” by James Baldwin; “If This Is a Man,” by Primo Levi; “Watership Down,” by Richard Adams; “A Collection of Essays,” by George Orwell; “The Long-Winded Lady: Notes from The New Yorker,” by Maeve Brennan; “A Handful of Dust,” by Evelyn Waugh; “Eastern Approaches,” by Fitzroy Maclean; “The Line of Beauty,” by Alan Hollinghurst; “The Secret History,” by Donna Tartt.
