Question: Is Ms. Miller's character the main?

“Burnt” has other flaws, like not giving Ms. Miller enough to do, but its main one is simply that at this point it’s hard to care about people who mistake a third Michelin star for the most important thing in life. “Burnt” is rated R (Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian), because when things heat up in the kitchen, curse words fly. Running time: 1 hour 40 minutes.

Question: When did Corea and Hancock live together?

Chick Corea and Herbie Hancock strolled onstage at Carnegie Hall on Thursday night like a longtime comedy team. Both were members of Miles Davis groups, both have widely recorded on electric keyboards as well as piano, and both are among jazz’s greatest pianists. But the last time Mr. Hancock and Mr. Corea toured as a duo was in the late 1970s before resuming celebrated solo careers. Still, camaraderie reigned, down to level of note-by-note interaction. Basking in the applause that greeted them, they reminisced about when they lived in New York City in the 1960s; they hinted at the concert to come. “How do they know what we’re going to do when we don’t know what we’re going to do?” Mr. Corea mused. As they moved toward their grand pianos, Mr. Hancock added, “You thought we were joking.”

Question: How was the police's behaviour described as?

To Zachary Hammond’s supporters, the shooting death of the 19-year-old man was yet another example of questionable police behavior that has shaken communities around the country. In their view, the police in Seneca, S.C., falsely claimed Mr. Hammond was shot last month as he tried to drive his car over the officer who fired on him, when his wounds show he was actually shot from the side and back. They also say the deadly confrontation, in which officers approached with their guns drawn and screaming profanities, evolved from an absurd sting effort to trap his date into selling a tiny amount of marijuana, a drug now decriminalized in much of the country.

Question: What was Wilkins granted a patent for in 1988?

Mr. Wilkins, who died at 90 on Monday in Las Vegas, tried but failed to patent his tub, which meant it could proliferate with abandon. It became a fixture of hotel love nests everywhere. (He was, however, granted Patent No. D294290 in 1988 for a tub shaped like a champagne glass, which also became popular at Cove Haven.) In 1971, in a two-page photo spread complete with a smooching couple, Life magazine gushed about the bubble-brimming, red-tiled “sweetheart tub” in Cove Haven’s mirrored bathrooms. “A surfeit of affluent vulgarity,” the magazine said, apparently good-humoredly.

Question: The Navy is responding by creating what?

In another example of the Pentagon’s growing criticism of China’s efforts, a senior Navy commander, Rear Adm. Christopher J. Paul, said last month in Australia that there were countries “who attempt to constrict movement through international waters, who create land areas where there were none; who create exclusion zones where there should be shared use.” In response, he said, the Navy is creating “hunter-killer surface action groups” of ships. He suggested that Australia, one of America’s top allies, would be invited to contribute to the new efforts in offensive naval warfare.

Question: In the mother's mind, the morals she scribbled ended with her serving her mother's what?

A couple of months ago, right after my first son was born, I thought about the lessons I wanted to pass along to him that I had learned a little late in life. Among the morals I scribbled down in my mind one that stood out began with a story involving Steve Jobs and ended with the serving of my mother’s last meal. The Jobs portion of the story occurred on a late-October morning in 2010, when he was sitting with a mutual friend in the restaurant of the Four Seasons hotel in San Francisco. The waitress, a shy woman who looked to be in her mid-30s, according to the friend, approached them and asked what they wanted for breakfast. Mr. Jobs said he wanted freshly squeezed orange juice. After a few minutes, the waitress returned with a large glass of juice. Mr. Jobs took a tiny sip and told her tersely that the drink was not freshly squeezed. He sent the beverage back, demanding another.

Question: Lucius Clay and others helped to feed children from Japan and where else?

Cuts in food aid are leading Syrian refugees to take desperate measures (“Child Labor Rises Sharply in Syria Unrest,” news article, July 2). This is a terrible situation for Syrian children to be forced to beg and work just to get a meal. But we can do something about it. After World War II, Gens. Douglas MacArthur and Lucius Clay set up school feeding for millions of children in Japan and Germany, respectively. These meals saved a whole generation of children. The school feeding gives children nutrition, but it also gets them in school and learning. It gets them away from child labor. The United Nations World Food Program has some limited school feeding for Syrian refugee children, but it needs a big expansion in funding and support.

Question: What should you not make to the police?

Amid the troubles besetting tourists coming to France, the ministry website had warnings for French tourists going to America: Do not act too “Latin,” with sexual behavior and jokes, and “keep calm in all circumstances,” given America’s scorn for gun control, which the French find incomprehensible. They were also advised not to make any aggressive gestures at the police. Romain Nadal, a charming ministry spokesman, was eager to assure me that the “strong love story” between the countries had not soured. He shook his head at Courtney Love’s angry tweet that the Uber ferocity had made Paris more dangerous than Baghdad. Nadal, now 47, fondly reminisced about a Greyhound bus trip he took around America when he was 18. “I went to Tallahassee,” he said proudly. “We love the contrast. We love Death Valley.

Question: How many Keflexghi's Marathons in New York did he finish under the current masters record?

“I’m here to compete,” Keflezighi said. “Goal No. 1 is to try to win” or get a high placement. Barring that, his finishing time could be a kind of golden parachute, allowing a gentle, somewhat satisfactory landing. Seven of his nine marathons in New York have finished under the current masters record. What is his secret to staying competitive for so long? There are many theories. Keflezighi has kept the same coach, Bob Larsen, since his college days at U.C.L.A. He remains committed to the mundane routines of stretching and strength work. Training for so many years at altitude in Mammoth Lakes, Calif., much of it on soft surfaces, has perhaps prolonged Keflezighi’s career, Larsen said, forcing him to restrict the intensity of his training while still providing him the cardiovascular benefits.

Question: What worries Mr. Sacca?

“What I worry about is how unidimensional computer science students have become as a result of the rigor of the curriculum,” Mr. Sacca said. “They don’t get to study abroad. They don’t have summer jobs. They don’t wait on tables — what you get is a 23-year-old engineer at Google yelling at a chef because they ran out of pheasant that day. They don’t understand how people get by in the developing worlds. They don’t know anyone trying to make payday loan payments. I really worry about how homogeneous our culture is getting in Silicon Valley because of the lack of experience.” Some Silicon Valley chiefs are trying to steer the culture from the top. Netflix’s chief executive and one of its founders, Reed Hastings, says he takes six weeks of vacation a year and hopes the company’s leave policies will inspire loyalty and trust with his workers. The company, which has long had unlimited vacation for employees, recently introduced unlimited parental leave.

Question: What kind of activities are the tourists content with doing while in the city?

“We got to eat at the Boathouse for Sunday brunch, and we really enjoyed that, so we were talking about doing the more touristy things,” she said. “It’s nice to come back and have more of an excuse to do the touristy things.” Mr. Garcia said he was neither relieved nor disappointed by the blizzard’s last-minute zag to the east. “I’m indifferent,” he said. “It was nice weather. I enjoyed it. I was out till midnight walking Monday night — had a late dinner at Quality Meats and walked around. So it was great. We’re used to the hype in Miami, with the hurricanes. I guess it’s terrible if you have to run a business, but for us it didn’t affect us.”

Question: What does Mr. Cameron think the Airstrike will not make the country of Britain?

He has also said that further military action was necessary to stem terrorist acts like the ones that struck Paris on Nov. 13, leaving 130 dead, and that it would be an essential component of any diplomatic solution to the Syrian civil war, which has displaced up to half that country’s population. Mr. Cameron also argued that airstrikes on Islamic State in Syria will not make Britain any more vulnerable.

Question: How did Ukrainians greet the news?

Ukrainians greeted the news with much the same skepticism as the experts, though mingled with relief. “We had a cease-fire before, but it was not observed, almost from the beginning, so how can we have much faith?” said Dmitri Kolesnik, 18, a student in Kharkiv, a city in southeastern Ukraine that has been touched sporadically by violence. He paused on the steps leading down to a subway station, and said he put the odds of peace at no better than 50-50. “Putin is a very aggressive person,” Mr. Kolesnik said, as bustling throngs made their way home in the late afternoon. “You cannot always trust that just because he says something that it will happen.”

Question: What does the existence of the Export-Import bank turn on?

WASHINGTON —  Last week, with little notice, a federal judge here tossed out Delta Air Lines’ longstanding claim that the government’s export credit agency — which, among other things, provides loan guarantees to overseas airlines for the purchase of Boeing jets — was helping international competitors at the airline’s expense. Delta offered only a shrug. Judicial opinions aside, the continued existence of the Export-Import Bank turns more on bare-knuckle politics than on legal niceties. “We pursued all our options in court, but we’ve known all along this is going to be won or lost in Congress,” said Trebor Banstetter, a Delta spokesman in Atlanta.

Question: What inspired the start-up company of DD technology?

“Tech and innovation in the auto industry are moving so much faster than the regulators can keep up with it,” she said. The Department of Transportation has sponsored research at the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute into whether the safety benefit of having head-up displays in cars outweighs the risk of distraction; that study is expected to conclude in 2016. Another take on the fledgling technology comes from a Vancouver, British Columbia, start-up called DD Technologies — started by two entrepreneurs who said they were inspired to build a head-up display after watching an “Iron Man” movie. The company’s display, Iris, which should soon be available in limited quantities, allows drivers to read the contents of a text. But the entrepreneurs say they’re not encouraging the behavior — well, not exactly.

Question: Was Collins named a suspect in the murder of Brittney Mills?

The Dallas Cowboys signed La’el Collins, a former Louisiana State offensive tackle who had been a projected first-round pick in last week’s N.F.L. draft until his name came up in a police investigation. Collins has never been named a suspect or person of interest in the shooting death of Brittney Mills, but the police acknowledged that they wanted to talk to him because he knew her. After he went undrafted, Collins met with the police, who said he answered all their questions. ■ Ed Reed, a nine-time Pro Bowl safety, formally announced his retirement after signing a one-day contract with the Baltimore Ravens, the team that drafted him 24th over all in 2002.

Question: How does Richard A Friedman's article begin?

Am I the only psychoanalyst who is tired of being told by others what I think and how I practice? Richard A. Friedman’s fascinating article begins with a casual dismissal of psychoanalysts as closed to new developments in science. Nothing could be further from the truth. The New York Psychoanalytic Society and Institute many years ago developed a neuropsychoanalysis center to foster discussion between neuroscientists and psychoanalysts. Most of the practicing analysts I know are eager to learn about the newest developments in biological psychiatry, neuroscience, developmental and experimental psychology, special education, sociology and occupational therapy. We have already entered a new era of multidisciplinary collaboration, so that we can understand and integrate the mutual influences of biology, environment and the development of the inner life with greater complexity and apply the new understanding to help our patients. The old, easy clichés about Freudian analysts stop us from moving forward. Can we stop throwing rocks and talk to one another?

Question: What was the concept that Jeff Davis's suffering furthered?

Barnum called his Davis display “The Belle of Richmond.” A wax figure of a man wearing a dress similar to those seen in the sketches that had already made the story notorious, it might have enjoyed an epic run. But the fervor that made it a hit also doomed it from the start. The fire that broke out at the American Museum on July 13, 1865, was a destructive marvel. Thirty thousand people turned out to watch the conflagration, while Barnum’s menagerie spilled onto Broadway. When firemen smashed the whale tank to help extinguish the flames, Barnum’s belugas burned alive. In the midst of this mayhem, the Davis statue came tumbling down. While the crowd jeered, a bearded mannequin dressed in women’s attire was hurled into the street, its skirt acting briefly as a parachute. “As Jeff made his perilous descent,” The New York Times reported, “his petticoats again played him false, and as the wind blew them about, the imposture of the figure was exposed.” Landing to “cheers and uncontrollable laughter,” the statue was then promptly hanged, just as the song suggested. The cause of the fire remained a mystery, but many assumed arson. “It is suspected,” The Cleveland Plain Dealer reported, “the guilty parties were rebel sympathizers offended by the prominence Barnum has given to the manner of Jeff Davis’ capture.” A Confederate partisan who witnessed the blaze wrote that the banners painted with Davis’s image “gave the flames such an impetus, that they could not be controlled.” This was only the beginning of Davis’s fraught place in the American imagination. Among Southerners, the abuse he endured — at the hands of both wags like Barnum and his jailers at Virginia’s Fort Monroe — took on a life of its own. His suffering became a passion play of the Lost Cause, the nearly religious cult of grievance that convinced subsequent generations of the Union’s intent not only to defeat the Confederacy but to emasculate it. “The North’s treatment of Jefferson Davis,” the historian Andrew F. Rolle wrote in 1965, “symbolized the humiliation being inflicted upon the South.”

Question: Who was trying to minimize the disruption?

“Going forward, we will have more security personnel inside,” he said, noting that the protester’s walk to the stage had been obscured by the standing ovation for Ms. Netrebko. “We will be extra careful to have personnel in all the strategic places where they need to be.” Mr. Torgovitsky said that he had tried to minimize the disruption he caused by waiting for the end of “Iolanta,” which he said he enjoyed. And he compared his actions with those of Mr. Putin, who he said had ignored international treaties in Ukraine and the Crimea. “I did just .001 percent of that,” he said. “I did ignore the feelings of Netrebko and Gergiev for sure, but basically hoping to bring this issue visibility and discussion.”

Question: What percentage of young men play internet games?

Some in the gaming community have proposed a shift in the meaning of gamer to be akin to cinephile, a person with a deep knowledge and appreciation of the whole medium. Others have argued that the definition should be broad and, in particular, reflect the wide array of people who play. “Marginalized groups have always engaged in gaming,” Kishonna Gray, director of the Critical Gaming Lab at Eastern Kentucky University, said in an email. “They just haven’t been acknowledged by gaming culture yet and they really aren’t catered to.” The Pew survey, which was conducted this summer among a sample of about 2,000 adults, found that young men play games far more than other groups, with 77 percent of 18- to 29-year-old men saying they play, and 57 percent of young women.

Question: Who did the American instructors recommend to help with training the Ukrainian units?

Capt. Andrii Syurkalo, a Ukrainian officer, said it was commendable that the trainers were willing to use the Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse scandal as an element in a class on the Geneva Conventions. American officers described the course work as equivalent to the latter months of basic training in the United States. The courses will train 705 Ukrainian soldiers at a cost of $19 million over six months. The Ukrainian National Guard is rotating from the front what units it can spare for the training. American instructors intend to recommend top performers to serve as trainers within other Ukrainian units, and in this way spread the instruction more broadly.

Question: Chicago would extend their visitor hours until what day?

Visitors in the Chicago crowd didn’t get outright stench, but they did get a hands-on experience: Dr. Still and Mr. Pollak began passing around pieces of Spike’s spathe to the visitors. On Tuesday, they said that Spike was beginning to emit a more putrid odor — a bad sign regarding nearly anything else in the world, but a good sign for this plant — and that visiting hours would be extended until Thursday. In Denver, the visitors who had been hoping for a stinky celebration had gotten luckier. They described the scent as rotting cabbage, dead mice and, oddly, Italian sausage when they stepped close to lean into the blooming flower, named Stinky. Stinky lasted a few days before it crumpled and entered a dormant phase.

Question: What were bikers standing on?

One of them was Drew Pardus, a safety consultant from Lower Manhattan, who said four bikers ignored a red light and nearly ran him over as he tried to cross West Street with his wife and young son. “They almost hit us twice,” he told a 911 dispatcher. “They are speeding. They are doing wheelies. They are running red lights. They are a menace.” Mr. Steinglass also showed several videotapes in court, filmed by the helmet camera of one of the bikers, Kevin Bresloff. Most were recorded before the bikers on trial encountered the S.U.V. and so have little to do with the assault. Still, the prosecutor made Mr. Bresloff, a Long Island motorcycle mechanic, narrate the tapes, explaining how he and other bikers drove up on sidewalks, ran red lights and did wheelies on the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway. The tapes also show some bikers racing down the highway standing on their seats. Portraying the bikers as a lawless mob is intended to counter the defense argument that it was Mr. Lien and his wife who started the conflict, out of frustration with the traffic problems caused by the motorcyclists.

The tapes also show some bikers racing down the highway standing on <hl> their seats <hl>. Portraying the bikers as a lawless mob is intended to counter the defense argument that it was Mr. Lien and his wife who started the conflict, out of frustration with the traffic problems caused by the motorcyclists.

Question: Who already faces existential questions about adult diaper sales beginning to overtake baby diapers?

The demographic shift is more pressing in Europe than almost any other major region, save Japan. There are an estimated 28 Europeans 65 or older for every 100 residents ages 20 to 64, almost twice the world average, according to the United Nations, and compared with 24.7 for the United States. By the end of the century, the United Nations expects the European figure to double. Such trends will transform societies, potentially reducing economic growth and increasing stress on public pension systems and requiring more elder care. Japan already faces existential questions in a country where adult diaper sales are beginning to eclipse those of baby diapers.

Question: Who asked Bev whom was Emily's mother?

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: Who was included in the study that showed an effect on death from cardiovascular causes?

Let’s not cherry-pick, though. A systematic review of randomized controlled trials of salt intake was published last year. Eight trials involving more than 7,200 participants looked at whether advising patients to cut down on salt, or reducing sodium intake, affected outcomes. None of the trials, including ones involving people with both normal and high blood pressure, showed a reduction in all-cause mortality. Only one trial even showed an effect on death from cardiovascular causes, like heart attack or stroke. It was conducted on residents of an assisted-living facility who had high blood pressure — hardly representative of the population as a whole, which is what dietary guidelines are supposed to cover.

Question: What stage is the black swan at?

Finally a major New York ballet company has a black swan. Misty Copeland’s promotion to principal dancer at American Ballet Theater this summer put ballet back on popular culture’s map and ushered in a conversation about diversity in ballet. So what now? Classical ballet is still overwhelmingly white, but over the past few years diversity has finally become a priority. On the stages of American Ballet Theater and New York City Ballet black, Asian, Latino and multiracial dancers are beginning to change the face of ballet where it matters most: Lincoln Center, home base to both companies.

Question: Why do mothers in the red states need to work more?

So where do we go from here? Slaughter focuses on high-quality child care, and that’s a great place to start. For 60 percent of American households with children age 6 and under, every adult in the household is working. Meanwhile, experts tell us that most child care is mediocre to poor, including care by relatives — who are often too busy trying to get work done themselves. Blair faults Slaughter for “woolliness” about solutions and an avoidance of the “political system.” And indeed, today’s Congress is a huge part of the stall. But we can’t be vague about the political challenge. Perhaps surprisingly, the parts of the country that most desperately need great child care are the red states. The Republican states are poorer and have a higher rate of single motherhood and divorce, so mothers face more need to work, often in low-end jobs that don’t allow payment for quality care. The need is there. And so is some surprising support. Endorsing the Strong Start for America’s Children Act is an organization called Fight Crime: Invest in Kids, a national bipartisan nonprofit made up of nearly 5,000 police chiefs, sheriffs, prosecutors and others who see investment in child care as crime prevention.

Question: What is the name of the German chancellor?

“It was now or never,” he said. “So I decided to go before the window of opportunity closes.” Hungary decided to shut its border with Croatia after it said it was disappointed at the outcome of a meeting of European Union leaders to discuss the migrant crisis.

Question: What were the young Chinese feminists protesting?

BEIJING — The young Chinese feminists shaved their heads to protest inequality in higher education and stormed men’s restrooms to highlight the indignities women face in their prolonged waits at public toilets. To publicize domestic violence, two prominent activists, Li Tingting and Wei Tingting, put on white wedding gowns, splashed them with red paint and marched through one of the capital’s most popular tourist districts chanting, “Yes to love, no to violence.” Media-savvy, fearless and well-connected to feminists outside China, the young activists over the last three years have taken their righteous indignation to the streets, pioneering a brand of guerrilla theater familiar in the West but largely unheard-of in this authoritarian nation.

Question: What to many Chinese people use instead of of phone calls?

Ford said it was in talks with Tencent, maker of the popular WeChat messaging app, to develop messaging functions for the manufacturer’s cars in China. David Huang, a senior engineer who heads Ford’s Asia Pacific connected-services unit, said, “People want to stay connected, stay informed and stay entertained all the time, even when they’re driving.” Drivers would sync their phone to their car’s software system and control WeChat functions, chosen by Tencent and certified by Ford as safe, through voice commands or limited use of buttons. Yale Zhang, managing director of the Shanghai-based consultancy Automotive Foresight, said connectivity was a deciding factor for Chinese customers buying a car. “Those kind of things are the fundamental things people will consider,” he added. Many Chinese use WeChat’s free voice messaging feature instead of phone calls, holding up their smartphones like walkie-talkies as they speak, tap and listen to replies. Rivals including Daimler and Nissan are also looking at ways to give drivers safe, hands-free access to mobile apps in China, home to the world’s largest number of smartphone users. WeChat is China’s most prevalent chatting app, with about half a billion active monthly users.

Question: what complaint has hindered investment banks of their ability to provide liquidity in the market?

The Institute of International Finance, a trade group that represents global banks, also released a letter on Wednesday that warned of the huge buildup of assets in the bond market. The institute’s views on the topic tend to reflect its main constituency, investment banks, which have complained that excessive regulation has hindered their ability to provide liquidity in the market. BlackRock has argued that bond E.T.F.s, and its increasing size, are healthful for the markets in general and that in a low interest rate environment it is to be expected that long-term investors like insurance companies and pension funds invest in higher yielding securities to lock in better returns. Moreover, the industry has said that firms like BlackRock do not invest their own capital in these types of securities — as investment banks did before the crisis — and do not rely on leverage to bolster returns.
