Question: What kind of debate is needed between women according to Ms. Sandberg?

After all, as Ms. Sandberg pointed out in her book, without mentioning Ms. Slaughter, “the very concept … flies in the face of the basic laws of economics and common sense.” Toward the end of “Lean In,” Ms. Sandberg reviewed the social psychology literature around the tendency of women themselves in certain environments to perpetuate gender bias and recommended some ways to avoid falling into this trap. The institutional tendency to use minor disagreements among women as an excuse to do nothing, she argues, requires women to choose their battles carefully. “We should resolve our differences quickly, and when we disagree, stay focused on our shared goals. This is not a plea for less debate, but for more constructive debate,” Ms. Sandberg wrote. Based on Ms. Slaughter’s book, it would seem that persuading other powerful women to respond positively to Ms. Sandberg’s appeal is another piece of unfinished business.

Question: What is Dellavedova's first name?

And on Sunday night, neither seemed to be able to make a basket. The Cavaliers shot 1 for 8 in overtime, and they won the game. Iman Shumpert hit their one bucket, a 3-pointer that put them on the board 1 minute 13 seconds in, but he also had a layup blocked. LeBron James was 0 for 3. Matthew Dellavedova and J.R. Smith both missed. James Jones missed a wide-open 3 that would have put his team ahead with 11 seconds left. The Warriors made just two shots, both by Draymond Green from inside two feet. Stephen Curry was 0 for 4, had two turnovers and put up an air ball with a chance to retake the lead with seven seconds left. Over all in the game, Curry was 5 for 23 from the floor and 2 for 15 from 3-point range, bringing up memories of John Starks’s 2-for-18 and 0-for-11 performance for the Knicks in Game 7 of the 1994 finals.

Question: Name two cloud computing leaders.

PC sales are in a long decline, as customers increasingly use online services connected to mobile devices. While Microsoft and others try to revive the market with new designs and tabletlike models, in the most recent quarter worldwide PC shipments fell 10.8 percent from the year before, according to IDC. Making PC chips is still a big business, but not the way it once was. The data center group also has much higher profit margins: Operating profit from PC chips was $2.1 billion, down 20 percent from a year ago, while data center chips had an operating profit of $2.1 billion, up 9 percent. That matters, because Intel is already stressing products in networking and advanced cloud systems, to feed the profitability of cloud systems as PCs continue to wane. That means cloud computing leaders like Amazon and Google could benefit even more, and expand their online operations. Having missed much of the market for chips in mobile devices, Intel is also investing in sensors for devices connected to cloud systems.

Question: How much might the developer pay in real estate taxes for the first decade?

The plan envisions enlisting private “master developers” who would front the money to buy the necessary land, move existing owners and prepare these two sites. As an incentive, the developers would receive highly generous tax breaks for new construction after the Games. Those tax breaks would be negotiated with the city, but the report suggested that the developer might pay just 15 percent of real estate taxes for the first decade. “This could be the largest economic development opportunity in our lifetime, in my lifetime, in Boston,” Steve Pagliuca, co-owner of the Boston Celtics and chairman of Boston 2024, said in presenting the plan.

Question: What country is providing training for the Ukrainian?

The training aims to remold the Ukrainian units by increasing the responsibilities of noncommissioned officers, fixing a Soviet legacy of an officer-heavy infantry. Without sergeants paying attention, basic mistakes were being made, the trainers said. Capt. Nicholas Salimbene, an American trainer, noticed with alarm that the Ukrainians were carrying their rifles with the safeties off. “It’s about the professionalism of the force,” he said. “We want them to look like soldiers.” “You see reports about the little green men,” he said, referring to the Russian soldiers who invaded the Crimean Peninsula last year in unmarked uniforms, “and they all walk around professionally, and carry their weapons professionally.” The Ukrainians should, too, Captain Salimbene said. The United States is also providing advanced courses for military professionals known as forward observers — the ones who call in targets — to improve the accuracy of artillery fire, making it more lethal for the enemy and less so for civilians. Oleksandr I. Leshchenko, the deputy director for training in the National Guard, was somewhat skeptical about the value of the training, saying that “99 percent” of the men in the course had already been in combat.

Question: What does Mr. Lubell wish the center to be known for?

Mark Lubell, the center’s executive director, said architects would soon begin remaking the space, which has more than 5,000 square feet for exhibitions on two floors, into raw, airy galleries with a continuous glass front along the Bowery. He said he believes the connection to the street — along with a cafe and screens beaming out images from the center’s programming — will telegraph the institution’s intention to become a hub for conversations about the increasingly complex way pictures circulate and function in the digital age. “It’s going to be a big challenge to think about what an exhibition will even mean in that context,” Mr. Lubell said. By New York museum standards, the turnaround time for the new space is whiplash fast, but Mr. Lubell said that he hoped the center would become known for such nimbleness. “We don’t know everything yet, which is a little discomforting for some people,” he said, “but we’re figuring it out together.”

Question: How many more jobs are needed to match pre-recession levels?

Moreover, the economy is still 2.8 million jobs short of where it would have to be to match pre-recession employment levels while also absorbing new entrants into the work force, according to the Hamilton Project, a research group associated with the Brookings Institution in Washington. Even if the current trend continues, that so-called “jobs gap” will not be closed until mid-2017. In addition to the tempo of hiring and the unemployment rate, Fed policy makers have been paying close attention to the pace of wage increases. In November, the government said wages rose by 0.2 percent, leaving the 12-month change in average hourly earnings 2.3 percent higher. Despite steady hiring gains and a falling unemployment rate, wage growth in recent years has barely advanced faster than inflation. In October, that trend seemed to improve, with an unexpectedly strong 0.4 percentage point increase in average hourly earnings that pushed the 12-month gain to 2.5 percent even as the pace of inflation fell, mostly because of lower energy prices. But with November’s figures reverting to the earlier trend, Mr. Clemons said, “I don’t think there’s a lot of wage pressure yet.”

Question: What is the second thought on "Me and Earl and the Dying Girl"?

On paper, “Me and Earl and the Dying Girl” should be dreadful. That’s not quite fair. On paper, Mr. Andrews’s book is lovely: sensitive and rueful and attuned to both the solipsism and the ethical seriousness of adolescence. But it’s also full of the sort of themes, emotions and situations that can turn maudlin and embarrassing on the way from page to screen. The self-conscious narrator, the kooky parents and above all the dying girl — these elements are likely to raise alarms among grown-up admirers of the auteurs whom Earl and Greg mock and revere.

Question: How many grand slams did Mattingly hit during his hot streak in mid-July?

Don Mattingly is the author of one of baseball’s most preposterous statistical anomalies. In 1987, he set the major league record (it has since been tied) for most grand slams in a season — six — and those were the only ones he ever hit. Two of them came during a streak in mid-July when he matched the record for most consecutive games with a home run — eight — actually hitting 10 in eight games. The last one, in Texas against the Rangers, just barely sailed over the wall in left-center field, not exactly the left-handed Mattingly’s power alley. “Holy cow, he did it!” Phil Rizzuto screamed, announcing the feat on TV. “Holy cow, Mattingly is unbelievable.”

Question: What event made Court TV popular?

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. The executives made their bet based on the popularity of crime novels and police procedurals, like “NCIS,” “CSI” and “Law and Order,” which for years had topped the ratings charts.

Question: Who joined to celebrate Sandy's life?

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

Question: Article to the article, what phrase sounds like the motto of Obama's last two years in office?

So, to the end game, in Idaho, Kansas and beyond. “It’s amazing what you can bounce back from when you have to,” Obama said on Tuesday. He was quoting from a Minneapolis woman, invited to the speech, but it sounded like a motto for his last two years in office. The president is playing for a legacy. He won’t get much of it this year, or even next. But eventually, if Obama’s finish matches the flourish of the last two months, the United States will resemble the country he envisioned on Tuesday night. Long odds make for better endings.

Question: What is the name of Joan Shelley's last album?

Although “Electric Ursa” was released just last September, Ms. Shelley devoted much of her set to new songs that were no less resonant and, perhaps, a little more concrete. One, with a melody that would have suited the Carter Family, captured the moment in a breakup when the thought of freedom balances a sense of loss. In that song, and throughout the set, she was open yet composed, never pushing or overplaying the music; she let the songs speak for themselves. With its quiet purity, the music held the club audience rapt.

Question: What unit are these patients in?

“Nightwalkers,” Pierre Bell calls the men and women who find their peace after-hours. He’s new to the night himself, working as a nurse’s aide on the behavior unit at an assisted-living home in Akron, Ohio. “What’s behavior?” I asked. “Combative,” he said. “Lockdown. Spit, kick, hit, bite.” Sounds terrible, I said. It’s not, he told me, especially at night, when the anger subsides, and when the alarm I can hear beeping in the background is an event rather than a constant song. The other aide will get that one. Bell, a 28-year-old father of a 9-month-old, was sitting with the nightwalkers. The strange ones, the restless ones, the storytellers. “Some were in wars,” he told me. “Some were teachers.” Sometimes they talk for hours. If they’re up, he’s up. It feels to him like a matter of courtesy. The behavior unit is his patients’ home. He’s only visiting. Trying out the night they live in.

Question: What does it mean to be constantly reassessing?

The most difficult decision was when I decided to change the way the group was working. Before, there were silos with specialists working solo — a big network of people working independently. But I was convinced we needed to change. When you create something for the long term, you have to accept that you may have some collateral damage in the short term. To my surprise, people really followed the vision and we didn’t have the slowdown that we had anticipated. Now I want to build on the momentum. The industry will continue to change, so we need to stay agile and adapt. I don’t know what the future will be, but I know I want us to stay the most forward-thinking agency. That means constantly reassessing, never taking anything for granted. Nothing lasts forever and our group is the prime example. It has changed many times, depending on the economic environment. Dinosaurs no longer exist, and they were at the top of the food chain. Q. Do you miss being an entrepreneur?

Question: How many US military trained the Ukrainian in remedial military instructions?

For a moment, he twirled the rope in his hands like a lasso, then threw the hook over the wire, and tugged hard, testing for explosives. When nothing happened he signaled two comrades, who ran up and started snipping the wire with cutters. Although this was a typical training exercise for raw recruits in an elemental soldierly skill, there was nothing typical about the scene. Far from enlistees, these soldiers were regulars in the Ukrainian National Guard, presumably battle-hardened after months on the front lines in eastern Ukraine. And the trainer was an American military instructor, drilling troops for battle with the United States’ former Cold War foe, Russia, and Russian-backed separatists. “It’s been a long time since I heard a target called an Ivan,” First Sgt. David Dzwik, one of the trainers, said in an interview out in the sunny forest, while observing the Ukrainians run through drills. “Now, I’m hearing it again.” The course on cutting wire is one of 63 classes of remedial military instruction being provided by 300 United States Army trainers in three consecutive two-month courses. Here in western Ukraine, they are far from the fighting, and their job is to instill some basic military know-how in Ukrainian soldiers, who the trainers have discovered are woefully unprepared. The largely unschooled troops are learning such basic skills as how to use an encrypted walkie-talkie; how to break open a door with a sledgehammer and a crowbar; and how to drag a wounded colleague across a field while holding a rifle at the ready. When the war began a year ago, the Ukrainian Army was all but worthless — rife with corruption and Russian spies, and made up largely of “skeleton” battalions of officers with just a few men. About 1 percent of the equipment was manufactured in the past decade.

Question: This was the what time Woods failed to break 80 at the PGA tour?

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Watching Tiger Woods launch wildly errant drives was hard. Watching his ground-ball chip shots was harder. But the hardest part of watching Woods’s career-worst round Friday at the Phoenix Open was seeing the greatest golfer of his generation turn into the lovable last-place straggler. Fans at T.P.C. Scottsdale, renowned for their crassness, were overcome with compassion as Woods, who was No. 1 in the world at this time last year, struggled to an 11-over-par 82 and a 36-hole total of 13-over 155. It was only the second time in 303 PGA Tour starts as a professional that Woods had failed to break 80 (the other time was in the third round of the 2002 British Open, played in hellacious conditions). For Woods, who has been breaking 80 since age 8, the score was full of foreboding. He might as well have had the Grim Reaper on his bag instead of his trusty caddie, Joe LaCava.

Question: What is the name of the officer who suffered from a medical emergency?

“I saw the officers kicking him, jumping on his head multiple times and screaming, ‘Stop resisting,’ even though I didn’t see him moving,” wrote Mr. Pearson, who has since been released after serving two years on a weapons charge. None of the affidavits or letters mentioned Mr. Harrell’s fighting back or speaking during the encounter. Several said that once he was on the floor, handcuffed, he stopped moving, and a few of the inmates speculated he may have already been dead by then. Indeed, Mr. Camara said inmates were surprised that Mr. Harrell, who was over six feet tall and weighed 235 pounds, did not try to defend himself. “People was even mad, I was mad,” he said. “You’re a big guy and you let these people literally kill you.” The inmates said that during the encounter, an officer they identified as Robert Michels appeared to have a medical emergency. Mr. Pearson, who later identified Officer Michels through a Facebook photo, said he saw the officer “rip open his shirt and he was gasping for air and grabbing his chest.” Officers went to attend to Officer Michels, who was soon carried out on a stretcher, inmates said. Identifying the Guards While Mr. Harrell lay still on the floor, officers periodically walked by, kicking him and hitting him, Mr. Camara said.

Question: who were the ones who lead ?

“But there was an acceptance and a respect between us,” Dr. Fahs said. “Every woman there was respected and taught to have strong opinions. I spent my junior year in Paris, and came back to a campus that was up in arms about the invasion of Cambodia. The Princeton boys came down to lead us, but we were Sweet Briar women and we had learned to be leaders. We stayed in charge.” The Sweet Briar finishing-school moniker hit her only once, when she was at graduate school back in Michigan, where she earned a doctorate in health management and policy. “What were you doing at a place like Sweet Briar?” her adviser asked. By the late 1960s, colleges and universities across the country were struggling to remake themselves, roiled by social revolution, the civil rights and antiwar movements and the nascent feminist advances. In the fall of 1967, Dr. Fah’s classmate Michela English arrived in Lynchburg wearing the uniform of young women everywhere: Pappagallo shoes, a Villager dress and a circle pin.

Question: What did the author think of the piece?

Religious images live switched-on, switched-off lives. I remember walking through the National Museum in Kyoto, Japan, some years back, taking in its rows of Buddhist sculpture, and being stopped by one piece, not because it was especially beautiful — it wasn’t — but because a vase with a single fresh flower had been placed in front of it, like an offering in a temple. I stayed with the image because someone — a guard? a visitor? — was telling me, in terms I don’t often think of in museums, that it was important, in a personal, spiritual way.

To grasp the impact of “Star Wars” and the world it helped create — and to understand both contemporary fandom and the entertainment industry — you have to accept that when George Lucas likened himself to a toymaker in the 1970s, he wasn’t kidding. Toys were always part of the “Star Wars” world; they still are. On Sept. 4, at precisely 12:01 a.m., the Walt Disney Company, which now owns Lucasfilm, kicked off a merchandising extravaganza with retailers like Walmart called “Force Friday.” It was a pseudo-event that was dutifully and excitedly covered by news media and infotainment outfits, despite being just another stop on the rollout for Disney’s “Star Wars: The Force Awakens,” which, in case you’ve been stuck in another galaxy, opens Dec. 18.

Question: How many interviews did Towns give during the course of the game?

Towns’s confidence was on full display. After he connected on a 17-foot jump shot toward the end of regulation, he bowed for the crowd. His night was punctuated by four interviews: one on the court with the in-house announcer, another with the local television broadcast team, a third with NBA TV (during which he did a solid impression of Shaquille O’Neal, one of the hosts) and finally a small news conference for reporters in front of his locker. Karl Towns, his father, waited outside. He said he was extremely proud of his son, except for his two missed free throws. “He owes me 10 push-ups, and he knows it,” Karl Towns said. As the Timberwolves continue to search for an offensive rhythm, Ricky Rubio, now one of the team’s more experienced players, said he was getting a better feel for where and when Karl-Anthony Towns wanted the ball. Rubio declined to offer specifics.

Question: How many families in Ban Rak Thai were once members or descendants of the Lost Army?

BAN RAK THAI, Thailand —  At night, traditional Chinese red lanterns illuminate the hotels, shop fronts and Yunnanese-style restaurants lining the main road in this highland village of just over 1,000 people. On one recent evening, as the mist rose off a nearby reservoir, the mellifluous voice of the popular Taiwanese singer Teresa Teng could be heard wafting out from one of the village’s several tea shops. But this sleepy Chinese village is nestled in the lush backcountry of northwestern Thailand, one of several dozen such outposts, a quirk of the region’s tumultuous human and political history. “I may have a Thai ID, but I’m Chinese,” said Liang Zhengde, 47, a manager for his family’s fruit farms. “My family is Chinese, and no matter where we go, we’re still Chinese.” The Liangs, like some 200 other families here, are the veterans or descendants of what is known as China’s Lost Army, a unit of the Kuomintang’s Nationalist Army, which lost to the Red Army of Mao Zedong in 1949. As most Nationalist soldiers fled east to Taiwan in the face of Communist advances, the Kuomintang’s 93rd Division retreated west from the southwestern Chinese province of Yunnan into Myanmar, then known as Burma.

Question: Where is Bruno's located?

These enablers have given the unusual, original pizzas and visually arresting appetizers at Bruno more media attention than you may expect for a fledgling East Village pizzeria whose chefs have never run a full restaurant kitchen. In the middle of September, New York magazine’s website ran an article claiming that Bruno’s $18 plate of bread and fermented mozzarella “might just be the city’s most impressive new bread course.” This was a scoop; nobody else had written about the bread. It may well be that nobody else had tasted the bread, either. It wasn’t on the menu then. An infrequent special, it wasn’t on the menu the last time I ate there, about a week ago.

Question: When doing his parody of Birdman what did Nail P. Harris wear on his feet?

One of the less predictable turn of events was the bland performance by Neil Patrick Harris, a veteran M.C. of both the Tony Awards and the Emmys, who hosted the Oscars for the first time on Sunday. His one successful stretch was a parody of a scene from “Birdman,” in which Michael Keaton runs through Times Square in his underpants. Mr. Harris ran through backstage corridors and onto the stage in white briefs and his black socks and shoes. But because Mr. Harris is in good physical shape, there wasn’t much humor or bravery to the sketch, just bravado.

Answer: black socks and shoes.

Question: what would be the requirement of any deal?

Analysts and commentators from across the political spectrum welcomed the agreement. Iranian officials called the agreement a “statement” and a “solution,” in keeping with Mr. Khamenei’s pronouncement that any deal would have to lift all sanctions in one step. The American negotiators had preferred a step-by-step approach, but the Iranians seem to have gotten their way, for the most part.

Question: do current rules for hourly workers stay intact?

Under current rules, salaried workers are not eligible for overtime if they earn enough to qualify as executives, professionals or administrators. The proposal would raise the salary threshold that defines those positions. Today, employees can be considered part of the top ranks — and generally ineligible for overtime — once their salary reaches a paltry $455 a week, or $23,660 a year. The new threshold in 2016 would be $970 a week, or $50,440 a year, about where it would be if it had kept pace with inflation over the decades. At or below that level, salaried workers are automatically eligible for overtime. (The current rules for hourly workers would remain intact.)

Question: Who haven't realized the market shift to the solar systems according to Mr. O'Connor?

Long Island’s high electric costs have made it an attractive market for solar. About 40 percent of all systems installed in New York are on Long Island, according to the state’s Energy Research and Development Authority. Buyers are “certainly willing to pay more” for a house with the electric bills to prove the savings attached to its solar system, Mr. O’Connor said. But, he added, most lenders haven’t yet recognized that market shift. Arthur Wilson, a builder developing five homes (all presold) with geothermal and solar panels in Middle Island on Long Island, has had his own issues with lenders. He said that an appraisal of $498,000 for the second house to be completed was recently “shot down” as too high by bank reviewers who he said were untrained in valuing green home features.

Question: What kind of arrangement can cut expenses?

This type of arrangement can potentially cut buyers’ individual expenses, while providing them with a potential equity gain and a mortgage interest tax deduction. But these ventures can also end badly if buyers assume that friendship alone will see them through any future difficulty. Before applying for a mortgage, the co-borrowers should fully reveal their income, debt and credit status to each other, said Mike Venable, a senior vice president and head of underwriting for retail bank operations at TD Bank. “It definitely needs to be someone you really trust,” he said.

Question: What artists influenced Kate Tempest early on?

A wunderkind rapper and spoken word performer equally influenced by Wu-Tang Clan and Joyce, Bukowski and Blake; an English poet whose musical sense of language bridges the worlds of rap and traditional lyric verse; a fan favorite at the Glastonbury music festival who became the youngest winner of the Ted Hughes poetry prize. Such dichotomies not only attest to the 29-year-old Kate Tempest’s gift for shattering — and transcending — convention and conventional genres, but they also underscore the tensions and contradictions that fuel her dynamic art. Tiresias, the blind seer in Greek mythology who lived as a man and a woman, is the presiding figure in her collection “Hold Your Own,” and the contemporary characters in her dazzling story-poem “Brand New Ancients” are also conflicted beings in search of a self. They are torn between confidence and self-loathing, between aching loneliness and the tumult of love, between ambition and a revulsion for the phony accouterments of fame. Ms. Tempest describes these ordinary people as gods, and their quarrels — so reminiscent of the squabbling among the Greek gods on Mount Olympus — are both petty and profound.
