Question: Who was the subject working for when having their "ah-ha moment"?

Q. What changed your mind? A. I had my ah-ha moment when I was working for the Missoni family. Here I was in New York representing them and I thought, “What am I doing representing them? I should be representing our family business.” Q. What do you remember of your early days in the family business? A. In 1992, Swarovski really wasn’t about fashion, it was all about figurines, and I thought we could be so much more, because I’d grown up with Grandfather telling me about his meetings with Coco Chanel and Christian Dior on our factory floor or in their atelier. I thought, “That’s what I want to do.” So my equivalent of my grandfather’s Dior was Alexander McQueen [with whom Swarovski collaborated for over 10 years], and that was really my strategy, trying to reconnect Swarovski and the fashion industry.

Question: When did Apple release the iPhone?

As powerful as Microsoft looked at the time, officials missed ways in which it was vulnerable. For starters, they didn’t anticipate the rise of mobile devices. The 1999 ruling against Microsoft found there were “no products, nor are there likely to be any in the near future” that people around the world could use as “substitutes” for Windows computers. In fact, within a few years, unexpected rivals began making such substitutes. In 2007, Apple released the iPhone, and soon after, Google released the Android operating system, which Samsung, HTC, Motorola and other manufacturers used to take the smartphone global and mainstream.

Answer: In 2007

Question: how much does The de Blasio administration want to increase the mansion tax by on houses over 5 million?

Currently, the state has a “mansion tax” of 1 percent on the sales of homes over $1 million. The de Blasio administration is calling for an additional 1 percent tax on the sale of homes in New York City over $1.75 million, which would rise to 1.5 percent tax on sales over $5 million. State Senator Liz Krueger, a Democrat from Manhattan, said there may be a “window of opportunity” in Albany right now, where no one wants to be seen to be favoring programs that are viewed as giveaways to real estate interests. “Everything is very fluid right now,” she said. Ms. Krueger supports the de Blasio administration’s push to strengthen rent regulations, but she said the 421-a tax abatement program should be scrapped. “Why not keep the money and spend it on programs that work,” she said.

Question: Who did the Bengals play against last week?

The Chiefs’ secondary has had a hard time defending the pass, which makes a trip to Cincinnati to go against the Bengals’ thriving offense a case of unfortunate timing. Last week, Bengals wide receiver A. J. Green humiliated Baltimore with 227 receiving yards and two touchdowns. Sean Smith will be back from a suspension and will do his best against Green, but with Phillip Gaines out with a knee injury, Cincinnati’s offense may be off to the races. PICK: BENGALS Cowboys (2-1) at Saints (0-3) 8:30 p.m. Line: Even The Saints’ offense performed reasonably well with Drew Brees sidelined last week, but frustration continued as the team remained winless and finished the week three games behind two teams in its division. Brees has expressed optimism that he will be back this week, but how his shoulder woes could affect his ability to stretch the field is unknown.

Question: Who beats and kill people?

“The militias also beat and kill people; they ask for a share,” Mr. Qul said. “They have taken up weapons to bring security, but they are doing the looting themselves.” A senior security official acknowledged that the militias were harassing the locals, but said they had been warned “not to touch people’s property.” “It was a tradition here: when the Taliban raided a village, they would loot and burn houses,” the official said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss the trouble. “And when the government took back the area, the militias would do the same, they would be so happy to come with us on the operation.”

Question: What was the reason for Adrian Peterson's recent absence from the playing field?

Here are the best games to watch in N.F.L. Week 4: Vikings (2-1) at Broncos (3-0) 4:25 p.m. Line: Broncos by 7 “Who is a better running back than me?” Vikings running back Adrian Peterson asked a group of reporters last week. He may have a point. Peterson, 30, is at an age when running backs tend to wear down, but after being suspended for 15 games last season, he has emerged as an example of how an extended break from the rigors of competition can rejuvenate an aging star. Through three games, he leads the N.F.L. with 291 rushing yards, and last week he uncorked a 43-yard touchdown run that had fans checking their calendars to see if they had traveled back to 2012. One could argue for Jamaal Charles, Le’Veon Bell or Matt Forte as the game’s best running back, but Peterson is certainly in the discussion. The question now is whether Peterson’s two-week outburst, in which he shredded the Lions and the Chargers, is a fluke or a sign that he and the Vikings are back.

Question: Bombadier also received an additional one billion dollars from where?

While a $1.5 billion cash infusion from Quebec’s public pension management fund last week stabilized the financial situation at Bombardier, the Canadian plane and train maker will still have much to explain at an investor day in New York on Tuesday. The new cash came on top of $1 billion from the Quebec government and both were made necessary by the company’s struggling plan to move up from business and regional jets to compete directly with Boeing and Airbus in the airliner market. Among other things, investors will be looking for signs that Bombardier can find a substantial number of buyers for its overdue and overcost C Series jets. —Ian Austen

Question: Who is the black swan?

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: Who returned to Cleveland to play for the Cavaliers?

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.

Question: When did the imprisonment occur?

We were both imprisoned in China, on charges officials there later acknowledged to have been false, and we both shared, at the same time in the 1990s, the same cancer — non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma — and the same oncologist in New York. Now the wheel has turned, and the time has come to begin meeting the challenge Tiziano issued on that Florentine afternoon, after some familiar chatter among his guests: how far each of us had traveled, the wonders and miseries we’d chronicled, and the most fascinating, or cruel, dictators and rulers through whose realms we’d passed. It was a fine thing, Tiziano said, to have accumulated all those visas and passport stamps, all those exotic datelines, all those Saddam Hussein puppets and Little Red Books of Mao’s wisdom, all those richly seasoned tales of derring-do.

Question: Who went 3 for 11 from the field?

“I thought my guy was taking a lot of hard hits, and I didn’t like it, and I was expressing my opinion,” he said. “And LeBron stepped in to sort of protect me in that situation, which is more than fine.” Star player, coach, assistant coach, medical expert. James even found time to impersonate a statistician during the game, approaching the officials during a first-quarter timeout and arguing that a 2-point basket credited to his teammate Kevin Love should have been a 3-pointer. After reviewing the play, the officials made the change. But Love did not make another 3, shot 3 for 11 from the field and, not for the first time, spent the fourth quarter on the bench.

Question: What position is played by Larry Fitzgerald?

4:25 p.m. Line: Cardinals by 7 ½ The Cardinals sound like a setup for a feel-good Hollywood movie: A 62-year-old coach with a 36-year-old quarterback and a 32-year-old wide receiver who are going against opponents who grew up with posters of them on their walls. But Bruce Arians, Carson Palmer and Larry Fitzgerald have done more than enough this season to justify General Manager Steve Keim’s comparing them, during a radio appearance, to fine wine. They may have gray in their beards, but they also are the driving forces behind the highest-scoring offense in the N.F.L. Add to that a defense that intercepted four of Colin Kaepernick’s first 10 passes last week — returning two for touchdowns — and it is easy to view Arizona as a title contender. But anyone who watched last season’s implosion knows the team can go only as far as Palmer’s surgically repaired legs can take it, so some caution against a hard-hitting Rams team may be in order. One bad hit could take this movie from “As Good as It Gets” to “Wild Hogs.”

4:25 p.m. Line: Cardinals by 7 ½ The Cardinals sound like a setup for a feel-good Hollywood movie: A 62-year-old coach with a 36-year-old quarterback and a 32-year-old <hl> wide receiver <hl> who are going against opponents who grew up with posters of them on their walls. But Bruce Arians, Carson Palmer and Larry Fitzgerald have done more than enough this season to justify General Manager Steve Keim’s comparing them, during a radio appearance, to fine wine. They may have gray in their beards, but they also are the driving forces behind the highest-scoring offense in the N.F.L. Add to that a defense that intercepted four of Colin Kaepernick’s first 10 passes last week — returning two for touchdowns — and it is easy to view Arizona as a title contender.

Question: When did I attend university?

She taught a course on Shakespeare’s tragedies: “Lear,” “Macbeth,” “Othello.” It was by far my favorite class at the University of North Carolina, which I attended in the mid-1980s, though I couldn’t and can’t think of any bluntly practical application for it, not unless you’re bound for a career on the stage or in academia. I headed in neither direction. So I guess I was just wasting my time, at least according to a seemingly growing chorus of politicians and others whose metrics for higher education are skill acquisition and job placement.

Question: Who does Katie Goldstein believes that Mr. de Blasio is siding with?

But that would be a setback for both Mr. de Blasio and tenant activists who hope to impose restrictions on landlords of rent-stabilized apartments. “It’s really siding with the real estate industry, rather than New York tenants,” said Katie Goldstein of Tenants and Neighbors, an advocacy group. “It’d be a disaster. Renewal would mean leaving the broken system intact.” Keith L. T. Wright, a Democrat and the chairman of the Assembly’s housing committee, agreed. “It would be political and governmental malpractice if we do not reform rent regulations and 421-a,” he said.

Question: Who will Dayton play on Sunday?

It was an ugly game — the teams combined for three baskets in the first 11 minutes of play — that eventually gave way to something of an encore for the Dayton fans who had watched their team rally to beat the Broncos on Wednesday. As time ticked off the clock, their cheers boomed off the rafters of the arena. At the beginning of the second half, when the game was tightly contested, the sophomore guard Kyle Davis picked off an inbounds pass, raced downcourt and laid the ball in the basket. The play fueled a rally that gave Dayton its second win in three days. The Flyers will play third-seeded Oklahoma on Sunday evening in the round of 32.

Question: What did I order?

Amen. Now, another guy with another problem. Q. I ordered a lamp from Wayfair, an online furniture store, which the company insisted on delivering to my office. When the package arrived, FedEx also dropped off two huge boxes that I insisted were not part of my order. The deliveryman insisted otherwise and left them. Inside were two huge pieces of patio furniture. I don’t have a patio. And after getting home with the box containing my lamp, I discovered that it was a shambles of oversize toothpicks. I called Wayfair. The company promised a refund on the lamp but refused to pick up the patio furniture because I didn’t keep the boxes for them. The boxes didn’t fit in my office because it was crowded with patio furniture. Their solution is for me to keep the furniture, sell it on Craigslist or donate it to charity. I don’t like any of these options. I can’t even toss out the furniture without having to pay a bulk disposal fee from a trash company. But the company won’t budge. Maybe you can change their mind.

Question: What is the rate of unemployment for college graduates?

California, rather than making another push to bring college to the masses, is taking small steps in reverse. With state funding declining, the University of California has been enrolling fewer in-state students (even as the population keeps growing) and a greater number of affluent students from other countries and states. Outside California, the educational gap between rich and poor is much wider – and not narrowing very rapidly. All the while, a college education remains the most reliable ticket to the middle class and beyond. The unemployment rate for college graduates is only 2.7 percent, and the pay gap between college graduates and everyone else is near a record high. College obviously can’t solve all of the economy’s problems, but there is a reason that nearly all families that can comfortably send their children to college do so. For families that aren’t as comfortable, some colleges are doing much more to help than others.

Question: What country are the Savak political police in?

Gamal Eid, executive director of the Arabic Network for Human Rights Information, noted that only a small demonstration in support of President Sisi appeared to have escaped police violence. So the police killings, including Ms. Sabbagh’s, had sent a clear message. “If you object to Sisi, your blood is permissible,” Mr. Eid said, arguing that Mr. Sisi’s police force was clenching its fist even more tightly than former President Hosni Mubarak’s — “with all its monstrosity.” “We are closer to the Gestapo in East Germany or the Savak political police of Iran” under the Shah, Mr. Eid added.

Question: The Yankees had a make-or-break game similar to what Dent did how many years before he was born?

When the Yankees play in their wild-card showdown on Tuesday, many will no doubt recall the team’s most famous one-game do-or-die affair, Game 163 in Boston in 1978, when Bucky Dent hit a three-run homer over the Green Monster to win the division title. But two years before Dent was born, the Yankees were involved in a similar make-or-break game. It came on the final day of the season and capped a pennant race with enough drama to rival that of 1978.

Question: how old i Ms. booth ?

Mary Morris Gamble Booth, class of ’50, traveled to Paris with Sweet Briar’s first junior-year program, which drew students of both sexes from across the country, including, that year, 15 Yale men. It was 1948 when they set sail, and Ms. Booth recounted how one of the Yale men kept trying to sneak up to the first-class deck from third class. “He was wearing white bucks and the British crew did not approve of white buck shoes, so he gave himself away,” she recalled. She said she was not quite paying attention when Secretary of State George Marshall articulated his Marshall Plan at Reid Hall, Sweet Briar’s Left Bank headquarters. Nevertheless, she ended up working for the program in Washington. “This year, I’m chairman of our 65th reunion,” Ms. Booth, 87, said sadly. “When they asked me last year, I said: ‘Sure, how hard can that be? Last year I think four people showed up for their 65th.’ Of course, this year is going to be a mob scene. It’s sort of an alpha and omega. Our reunion, and the last graduation.”

Question: Where was it questioned why women should work two jobs while men only one?

RBG: Between 20 and 25 percent of the law students in Sweden were women. And there were women on the bench. I went to one proceeding in Stockholm where the presiding judge was eight months pregnant. There was also a journalist who wrote a column in the Swedish daily paper: “Why should women have two jobs, and men only one?” Inflation was high, and two incomes were often needed. But it was the woman who was expected to buy the kids new shoes and have dinner on the table at 7. I remember listening to those conversations. It was that same summer I read “The Second Sex.” GS: For me, an important point came when I was living in India, because of the Gandhian movement and the role of women in it. But I was slow to see how it applied here. I couldn’t quite bridge that gap until the late ’60s.

Question: Jean Pisani-Ferry works as a policy adviser to which countries government?

Mr. Draghi reiterated that the E.C.B. does not try to achieve a certain exchange rate for the euro. The recent decline in the euro, he said, is “a natural outcome of diverging monetary policy path in the U.S. and the euro area. Markets expect a less accommodative monetary policy in the United States. This contributes to a stronger dollar.” Mr. Draghi and other top E.C.B. officials appear to be preparing financial markets for stronger action to combat low inflation. “Low inflation is already a serious obstacle to economic recovery and rebalancing within the eurozone,” Jean Pisani-Ferry, an economist who serves as a policy adviser to the French government, wrote in a blog post this week. “Outright deflation would be an even more dangerous threat.”

Question: Who was grateful to his teammates?

This year’s Bulls team is also a new vintage, offering Rose more supporting offensive firepower. Pau Gasol, a seasoned veteran and an N.B.A. champion with the Los Angeles Lakers who was signed during the off-season, was an All-Star starter this season. Nikola Mirotic is a sharpshooter and a rookie of the year contender. Jimmy Butler, who led the Bulls with 25 points Saturday, has emerged as a star. “I’m grateful to be playing with my teammates,” Rose said. “They allow me to play the way I normally play. It’s an honor. I’m really fortunate because I think, anywhere else, it wouldn’t be the same.”

Question: What is the main theme of "M Train"?

“Throughout my life, I happily deferred to family, companions, children,” she said. “This was mine. I didn’t have to compromise, and I say that in the best of ways.” In 1994, within the space of a few weeks, Ms. Smith lost her husband, the musician Fred Sonic Smith, to heart failure, and her brother, Todd Smith, who was also her road manager, to a stroke. Almost two decades later, Ms. Smith was still making peace with their absence. Those losses, and newer, fresher sorrows, pierce her elegiac new book, “M Train,” which in its own elliptical way is as much a love story about her late husband as “Just Kids,” her stunning 2010 memoir of youth and bohemia, was about Robert Mapplethorpe. The book, out next week, is a sort of first salvo before the 40th anniversary of “Horses,” the 68-year-old poet/rocker/visual artist/author’s historic first album. Ms. Smith, who spent her summer on a 45-city concert tour of Europe, is about to embark on an 18-city book tour, after which follows another grueling performance schedule that has her working, quite happily, into January.

Question: What does Prince expect to be more common in restaurants as the Mets gain popularity?

Still, the task of turning New York into a Mets town is far from complete. Prince, the blogger, offered two ways to measure future progress: when Mets caps are highly visible on all trains, not just the 7 line to Flushing, and when a fan’s request to turn a restaurant television to a Mets game is not met with a look “like you have three eyes.” More important, they probably need to do well in the postseason and then re-sign Cespedes. “I think we have a great chance of going all the way,” Breuer said.

Question: Who do the Koch Brothers trade compliments with sometimes?

Once known for grim letters to fellow wealthy Americans warning of socialist apocalypse, Charles G. Koch now promotes research on the link between freedom and everyday happiness. Turn on “The Big Bang Theory” or “Morning Joe,” and you are likely to see soft-focus television spots introducing some of the many employees of Koch Industries. Instead of trading insults with Harry Reid, the Democratic Senate leader, Mr. Koch and his brother, David H. Koch, are trading compliments with President Obama, who this month praised the Kochs’ support for criminal justice reform at a meeting of the N.A.A.C.P.

Question: How old was the person that was attacked?

An assailant wearing medical garb and wielding a box cutter attacked a 16-year-old girl who was walking to school in Queens on Wednesday morning, the police said. The attacker had not been captured by the afternoon, the police said. “She’s slashed in her face, twice,” said Robert K. Boyce, the New York Police Department’s chief of detectives. “Once from her ear to her throat, to the middle of her throat, and another part of the face as well.” The victim, an exchange student from China whom the police did not publicly identify, was taken to Long Island Jewish Medical Center with wounds that Chief Boyce said were not considered to be life-threatening. The attack, he said, “came out of nowhere.” The girl has been living in the country for eight months, Chief Boyce said. He said her sister and brother were with her at the hospital.

Question: What award should Mr. Blatter have recieved

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: What does the association that Mr. Stewart work do?

The question is how many of those there will be. Mr. Stewart, of the association that aids ex-prisoners, said initial job searches typically last between nine months and two years and tend to lead to work that is custodial, or related to the restaurant or lodging industries. One of Mr. Norris’s brothers-in-law is a shuttle-bus driver for a local hotel and will try to get him a job there, while another looks into some gardening work. “I’ll take the lowest honest job out there — I just want to get started,” Mr. Norris said. “Society doesn’t owe me anything.

Question: How many Playboy magazines are currently in circulation?

I was thinking about my friend when I read the news that Playboy, the venerable purveyor of celebrity interviews, literary fiction and female nudity, had decided to stop publishing pictures of naked ladies. “You’re now one click away from every sex act imaginable for free. And so it’s just passé at this juncture,” said Scott Flanders, Playboy’s chief executive. With a once-mighty circulation of 5.6 million now hovering around 800,000, Playboy has been left with no choice but to put on its big-girl panties and try to compete with other glossy lad mags and their versions of the Good Life.

Question: Which director of Selma wasn't nominated for an oscar?

This year, in addition to Ms. Arquette’s speech, the question of race in Hollywood was addressed with both humor — in his opening monologue, Mr. Harris made a barbed allusion to the lack of diversity among the Academy by saying, “Tonight we honor Hollywood’s best and whitest, sorry, brightest” — and emotion. The latter came at the hands of actors, musicians and others who wanted to express indignation that the director of “Selma,” Ava DuVernay, wasn’t nominated and neither was David Oyelowo, who played the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. When the audience applauded Mr. Oyelowo, who participated in a bit with Mr. Harris, the host said with a smirk, “Oh sure, now you like him.”

“Black Rage” was hailed as a timely analysis of a people in crisis.

Question: What does the union advocate for?

Manuel Leite de Araújo, the president of a union representing prison employees, said some guards oppose Mr. Silva Neto’s “sentimental,” friendly approach with inmates, noting that a committee of guards asked the union to support ousting him from his position. Although many Brazilian evangelicals support tough-on-crime political movements, Mr. Silva Neto’s approach puts him closer to human rights activists on the left.

Question: When did Microsoft argue that bundling its web browser with its operating system was good for customers?

These actions are not necessarily as terrible as they seem. In 1999, Microsoft argued that bundling its web browser with its operating system was good for consumers who needed a way to easily get on the Internet. In retrospect, that looks defensible — today, every computer, tablet and smartphone ship with built-in browsers, because everyone believes they are an important aspect of the user experience of computers. Google argues, similarly, that giving people answers to shopping and travel queries on its main search results page is much more helpful than giving them a bunch of links to competing search services.

Question: Who is the governor of Ohio?

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.
