Question: How many works are in the Grand Illusions exhibition?

★ Metropolitan Museum of Art: ‘Celebrating the Arts of Japan: The Mary Griggs Burke Collection’ (continuing) This lavish roll out of 160 objects came to the Met from the Mary and Jackson Burke Foundation last spring. The Burkes loved Japanese art — all of it — and the collection is close to compendious in terms of media, from wood-carved Buddhas to bamboo baskets, with a particular strength in painting, early and late. The quality of the work? Japan thinks highly enough of it to have made the Burke holdings the first Japanese collection from abroad ever to show at Tokyo National Museum. Some pieces on view now will be rotated out and replaced in February, making this an exhibition to visit at least twice. 212-535-7710, metmuseum.org. (Cotter) Metropolitan Museum of Art: ‘Grand Illusions: Staged Photography from the Met Collection’ (through Jan. 18) With 40 works, this small, choice exhibition forms a freewheeling survey of the ways and means of staged photography — the arranging objects or people for the camera — and the many needs and sensibilities it has served. Its smart installation jumps between past and present, commercial and fine, pre- and postmodern, and is peppered with surprises by artists well-known and not. 212-535-7710, metmuseum.org. (Smith)

Question: how much did Toys and games increase in the quarter?

Toys and games, a small but increasingly critical part of the business, provided a bright spot, growing nearly 15 percent in the last quarter. In a conference call with investors, Mr. Boire underscored this point by singling out coloring books and strong sales of Adele’s new album “25” among the company’s recent successes.

Question: What does Iran say about it's nuclear work?

In a statement, the atomic agency, the nuclear-monitoring arm of the United Nations, said that as of Thursday, its requests for materials clarifying “past and present outstanding issues regarding Iran’s nuclear program were completed.” Under the timeline for all preparatory steps required to put the nuclear agreement into effect, the atomic agency’s director general, Yukiya Amano, now has until Dec. 15 to provide “the final assessment on the resolution of all past and present outstanding issues,” the statement said. Iran always has asserted that its nuclear work is peaceful. But questions about past Iranian activities, and what atomic agency inspectors had described as Iran’s resistance in resolving them, became an acute obstacle in the negotiations.

Question: How high did the U.S Treasury note rise?

Markets started the day higher, propelled by a jump in energy stocks, but then quickly gave up the gains. A comment by the chairwoman of the Federal Reserve, Janet L. Yellen, suggesting that stocks were generally overvalued added to the selling pressure. Uncertainty over how quickly interest rates will climb also weighed on markets as yields on bonds continued to rise. Some market experts say they think the Fed will have to increase its short-term rate relatively soon to fight inflation. The yield on the 10-year United States Treasury note rose to 2.25 percent, its highest level in two months.

Question: What was Markisha's specialty?

The photograph that Markisha McClenton posted on Instagram is a self-portrait, a close-up that is muted in dim light. She might be on her way to work. She might be coming home. Her workdays begin and end in the dark, and they are dark in between. She’s a lab technician in Jacksonville, Fla. Her specialty is blood. She has worked these dark hours since her son was 7. “Freedom,” she told me over the phone from her lab. That’s why she works these hours: The freedom to work at night and to raise her children during the days. To her, this is good fortune. She is smiling in this photo. But her eyes are midnight eyes, 3 a.m. eyes. Why take a photo at that hour? “People forget about us, the night shift,” she said. The #nightshift. That’s the hashtag she used. It’s how I found her. I’ve been working at night myself for a long time now. Once it was out of choice, a preference for the quiet hours. More recently it was because I had no choice. Insomnia. One night, I was drinking my third cup of coffee — because when you can’t sleep, you might as well stop trying — and ignoring the deadline looming the next morning. Instead, I stared at the matrix on my phone, my own red eyes scanning a tiny sample of some 670,000 photographs under #nightshift. Most of them were people like me, awake when they didn’t want to be awake. And like me, they were looking at the screen in their hands, held up by the one in mine.

Question: What was the greeting Woods received?

As his round unraveled, the greeting he received at each tee box grew louder and more prolonged. Fans repeatedly shouted, “Keep your head up, Tiger!” and “Keep fighting, Tiger!” By the final holes, Woods was getting a reception fit for the Olympic bobsledders from Jamaica or the female sprinters from Iraq. Gone is the golfer whose mere presence on the leaderboard Sunday seemed to send other contenders into a free fall. In his place is someone who looked frightfully familiar to the 20-handicappers in the stands. As one weekend duffer in Woods’s gallery mournfully noted, “Watching him makes me feel more normal.”

Question: Who is the executive director of New Yorkers for Parks?

In June, the advocacy group New Yorkers for Parks released a critical report comparing the management of capital projects by the parks department with that of other public agencies. While Mr. Silver questioned the fairness of some of the comparisons, he nonetheless said that the slow pace of construction would be a chief focus of his first year as commissioner. Tupper Thomas, executive director of New Yorkers for Parks, called the changes “a great start.” Ms. Thomas previously served as the president of the Prospect Park Alliance and the Prospect Park administrator for the parks department. In both capacities, she saw how long it took to finish projects. She said she especially approved of the idea of standardizing design for certain things, like restrooms, rather than creating each one from scratch. “It totally makes sense,” she said. “You work with the guys in the technical shops who say, ‘Don’t use that flushometer; it doesn’t work.’ It saves time, and the plumbers know what valves to get.” Others, however, are waiting for more aggressive changes, particularly in the area of procurement. No fewer than six city agencies get involved in bidding. Matthew Marienthal, an organizer for East Brooklyn Congregations, a coalition of churches and nonprofit groups, said Mr. Silver should “take the lead” in reforming the procurement process, even if it meant “creating some tension” with the mayor. Last month, the group invited Mr. Silver to speak to 650 residents assembled at St. Barbara’s Church in Bushwick, Brooklyn. They had won pledges from the parks department last year to renovate two neighborhood spaces — Heckscher Playground and Green Central Knoll Park — and they wanted to know when the projects would be finished. Mr. Silver said that Heckscher would be done in spring 2017 and Green Central Knoll in October 2017. Work, however, has not started on either park. Adriane Williams, a leader of East Brooklyn Congregations, told Mr. Silver at the meeting, “We think a process where the most simple of fixes take three years is no process at all, just a mess.”

Question: What did Westbrook think of himself in response to the 'cat or dog' question?

“Is Russell Westbrook a cat or a dog?” Westbrook is, in fact, the star point guard for the Oklahoma City Thunder, so this was a somewhat jarring question to pose to his fellow players during the National Basketball Association’s All-Star weekend in 2013. Nonetheless, they played along. James Harden thought Westbrook was more of a dog. Dwyane Wade hedged. “He’s a cat-dog,” he said. Finally, Westbrook weighed in. “Wolf,” he said. The cat-or-dog question came from a host of “The Basketball Jones,” an N.B.A. podcast started in 2006 by three Canadian basketball fanatics who will bring their blend of deep basketball analysis and irreverent, goofy attitude to the N.B.A.’s All-Star festivities this weekend in New York.

Question: You can download itunes stuff to multiple computers as long as what?

Question: Who is Steve Jobs' daughter?

It felt like a contest among high school classmates vying to be the football captain’s best friend. Here’s the thing: They didn’t know Steve Jobs. None of us did. I don’t care if you had a sleepover party at his house once a week while you watched rom-coms and did each other’s nails. Or if he granted you a 15-second interview after one of his product introductions. The reality is, Steve Jobs was trying to sell things, and he was an absolute master at using the media to do that. Sure, these folks knew a version of Mr. Jobs that he wanted to show, and they knew his products, perhaps better than anyone. But the only people who may have known the true Steve Jobs were his family and a few close friends. And even they had different reactions to the film. His wife, Laurene Powell Jobs, reportedly tried to have the movie killed numerous times and was unusually public about how she disliked the film. And yet his daughter, Lisa Brennan-Jobs, chose to speak to Mr. Sorkin for the film, sharing, as Mr. Sorkin said in an interview, “stories about her father that weren’t necessarily flattering.”

Question: In addition to the sweatshirts, what else did the author hot glue the silver beads to?

One of my first big shows in Nashville, like probably six years ago, I went to a thrift store and bought all the black hooded sweatshirts I could find. Then I hot-glued silver bead strands to the outside of the hoods so when you put the hood up, the long beads dangled over your face like a mask. I did this to a huge pair of sunglasses as well that I wore. I’ve always been into visuals and visual art, but this was probably my most “out there” on stage wardrobe I ever wore. My band wouldn’t wear the ones I made for them and I don’t blame them for that.

Question: What is a requirement of F.D.A approval for a drug?

When it comes to drugs, some of those obvious, old ideas that cannot be patented have not been clinically tested, as required for F.D.A. approval. That takes money, which nobody will invest without a patent. It’s a Catch-22 that ends up excluding potentially valuable drugs from ever even being considered for development. There’s evidence that the provision of patents only for nonobvious and novel innovations affects drug development. In a paper published in the Texas Law Review, Mr. Roin documents many examples of patent invalidation on these grounds — importantly, even for ideas that had never been developed into drugs and that still required clinical trials for F.D.A. approval. For example, the patent of an anti-inflammatory drug was invalidated because it had been disclosed in a prior academic article. A patent for a hypertension drug was invalidated because it was deemed to have been created by a well-known process.

Question: Detectives from which Precinct reviewed surveillance video?

“The mother followed the spirit of New York’s ‘Safe Haven’ Law, which allows a parent to leave a child not older than 30 days with an appropriate person or in a suitable location where the parent promptly notifies an appropriate person of the child’s location,” he said. “It appears that the mother, in this case, felt her newborn child would be found safely in the church and chose to place the baby in the manger because it was the warmest place in the church, and further she returned the following morning to make certain that the baby had been found.” Detectives from the 102nd Precinct had been reviewing surveillance video of the woman, who, the police said, secretly left the boy in the Church of the Holy Child Jesus and disappeared. One video clip showed the woman, with the infant, entering a dollar store on Jamaica Avenue, in the Richmond Hill neighborhood, around the corner from the church, at 111-11 86th Avenue.

Question: What day of the week was the reviewed performance on?

Veronika Part, a Lilac Fairy of long experience, now radiates the mature generosity that this part is all about; on Thursday evening, her performance was the most wonderful thing in the whole ballet. Marcelo Gomes, who as Prince Désiré delivers the taxing intricacies of his solo variation at the peak of an exemplary account of the role, also performs as the evil fairy, Carabosse, with splendidly venomous force. Cory Stearns, whose nobility has become nuanced by humor, reflectiveness and poignancy, takes the character of Désiré through a true journey.

Question: What is the deadline for the final assessment?

Answer: Dec. 15

In a statement, the atomic agency, the nuclear-monitoring arm of the United Nations, said that as of Thursday, its requests for materials clarifying “past and present outstanding issues regarding Iran’s nuclear program were completed.” <hl> Under the timeline for all preparatory steps required to put the nuclear agreement into effect, the atomic agency’s director general, Yukiya Amano, now has until Dec. 15 to provide “the final assessment on the resolution of all past and present outstanding issues,” the statement said. <hl> Iran always has asserted that its nuclear work is peaceful.

Question: What covered Zhenyuanlong suni's wings?

A nearly complete, new dinosaur fossil has been unearthed in China, the first in its family to have unusually short feathered wings. The new species, named Zhenyuanlong suni, is a close cousin of the dinosaur predator Velociraptor. Scientists said the new addition, which lived about 125 million years ago, had layers of dense feathers covering its wings and tail, but experts believe that the feathers were more for display than for flight. Stephen L. Brusatte, a paleontologist at the University of Edinburgh who was an author of the study published online Thursday in Scientific Reports, said it looked “just like an eagle or a vulture.” The skeleton was discovered in Liaoning Province.

Question: What character gets pregnant in the movie, People Places Things?

Charlie speaks in double talk. Announcing the end of her marriage to Will, she says she loves him. “The problem is I don’t love my life,” she explains. A whiny, high-strung control freak and compulsive scold, she is such a pill that you wonder what the brokenhearted Will, who moves to Astoria, Queens, could possibly have seen in her. The story jumps ahead a year. After class one afternoon, Will is approached by Kat (Jessica Williams), a talented student who offers to introduce him to her beautiful 45-year-old mother, Diane (Regina Hall), a teacher of American literature at Columbia. When they meet, it is obvious that they are compatible. At the very moment when “People Places Things” has a chance to soar, it turns prissy, indecisive and picayune. The story meanders along with too-cute scenes of Will bonding with his daughters. Meanwhile, Charlie, now pregnant, plans to get married. As the movie fizzles, Mr. Clement’s endearing performance breathes what little life is left into a movie that, much like the insufferable Charlie, can’t make up its mind about where to go or how to get there. “People Places Things” is rated R (Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian). Language, mild sexual situations and brief nudity.

Question: What type of aquarium is present in the house?

A custom-made staircase to the side of the reception hall leads up to a galleried landing, which gives on to the six bedrooms and family bathroom. At 195 square feet, the master bedroom has its own en-suite bathroom and access to a private balcony, taking in the vistas down toward the lake. Three smaller bedrooms open onto a second balcony overlooking the lake, while a fourth has a small balcony to the front. Baths in both the master suite and family bathroom have been set into picture bay windows to make the most of the spectacular views from their tubs. The basement was the final phase of the house to be completed. While this includes a laundry, it is largely a leisure space, comprising a cinema room, a gym and a sitting room with a wood-burning stove. The wall between the gym and the sitting room is partly filled with a double-sided Indian Ocean aquarium, which is illuminated and populated by an array of tropical fish. “We wanted this part of the house to be a place to come to relax after a busy day or week at work: there is a sauna, with a built-in television, and outside on the deck, a hot tub, with views down to the lake,” Mr. Hague said. Leading from the driveway is a series of substantial outbuildings, including a game room and office, a second office, a store room and a garage.

Question: what did trump say about christians?

Trump could have let the man ask his question and then correct his racist nonsense, without blocking his free speech, which is exactly what McCain did in a similar situation. Instead, he later said it was not his place to defend Obama. As someone who aspires to be president it is his place to defend the truth, but since Trump himself has been the source of so much birther nonsense about Obama, I guess that would be hard. Instead he tweeted: “Christians need support in our country (and around the world), their religious liberty is at stake! Obama has been horrible, I will be great.” And then, like clockwork, Ben Carson saw Trump blurring another civic redline and leapfrogged him. Carson stated, “I would not advocate that we put a Muslim in charge of this nation.” So a whole faith community gets delegitimized and another opportunity for someone to courageously stand up for what’s decent is squandered. But it will play well with certain voters. And that is all that matters — until something really bad happens. And then, all of it — the words, tweets, signs and boasts — will be footage for another documentary that ends badly.

Question: Who said Mr. Harper-Mercer never went too far from home?

“Fact: Before my son was even born, I was reading out loud to him from Donald Trump’s ‘The Art of the Deal,’” she wrote. “And as for the ‘gesture effect,’ I was practically a mime. And now my son invests in the stock market along with me, turns a profit and is working on a degree in finance. His language and reading skills are phenomenal. I tell you this because it’s not too late for you to start helping your daughter.” It is not clear where — or if — Mr. Harper-Mercer had pursued such a degree. Little has been disclosed about his studies at Umpqua. In California, Mr. Harper-Mercer was enrolled at El Camino College from 2010 to 2012, but officials there would not confirm whether he obtained any degree or certification. Both son and mother moved to Oregon about two years ago; Mr. Mercer said he had not seen either of them since then. Neighbors in the apartment building here where the mother and son lived said that Mr. Harper-Mercer rarely strayed far. They would see him getting the mail or walking down the road to buy a soda at a market, but said he did not appear to have a job in Roseburg and stayed home most of the day.

Question: What law was Cameron trying to enact?

The interview drowned out Mr. Cameron’s vow on Wednesday to introduce a law guaranteeing no rise in income tax rates, value-added tax or national insurance before 2020 if his party wins the election. The Labour Party dismissed Mr. Cameron’s pledge as a “last-minute gimmick,” and said that the Conservatives had a “secret plan” to cut tax credits for families and raise the value-added tax. Labour even put together a website, torysecretplan.com, which features a fake email to Mr. Cameron from George Osborne, the chancellor of the Exchequer, laying out cuts not to be announced until after the election. Opinion polls suggest a hung Parliament, with no party winning an absolute majority, and the two main parties, the Conservatives and Labour, splitting about two-thirds of the vote.

Question: How many children does Andrew have?

“Sometimes when you have a wholesale shift in the weather pattern it can persist for quite a while,” he said. “As we get to the end of this week, we’re going to see temperatures as cold or even colder.” Meteorologists and their families are not immune to the consequences. Mr. Morrin’s son-in-law, Andrew Albany, 28, was home with three children on Monday morning in south central New Jersey, putting in a load of laundry, when he realized the pipe to the washer was frozen. Putting the 1-year-old in the playpen, and the 3-year-old and 6-year-old in front of a Disney movie, he deployed a space heater to try to try to thaw the pipe, before heading to his 3 p.m. to midnight shift as a nurse. The children’s movie? Yes, he conceded, laughing, “It was ‘Frozen.’ ”

Question: Which closed at a higher value, United States crude or Brent crude?

“The Fed has been one of the main supports of the stock market and the economy,” said Kate Warne, an investment strategist at Edward Jones. “It’s not a surprise that as it starts to move away from its extraordinary support that investors feel a bit nervous about what happens next.” Declines on Wednesday were led by energy stocks, which fell as the price of oil slumped for a third straight day. Oil dropped on concerns that global supplies are still outpacing demand. United States crude fell $1.79 to close at $44.15 a barrel in New York. Brent crude, a benchmark for international oils used by many refineries in the United States, fell $1.94 to close at $47.58 in London. United States stocks had a strong opening after big gains in Asia. Japan’s Nikkei 225 soared after comments from Prime Minister Shinzo Abe that raised expectations of more measures to shore up economic growth under his “Abenomics” stimulus program. The Nikkei rose 7.7 percent, its biggest one-day rise since October 2008.

Question: Who has said that concussion information was only relayed in broad strokes during short preseason training sessions?

The N.C.A.A. advocates uniform concussion policies for all members, but some players said concussion information was often relayed in broad strokes and only in preseason training sessions that lasted under an hour. Digit Murphy coached women’s hockey for almost 30 years. She said that with a growing platform, players had the ability to force change and initiate more dialogue with the sport’s governing bodies. “I really believe someone is going to get killed,” Murphy said. “The sport has gone through so many iterations — N.H.L. and USA Hockey has increased awareness of it, but as you compete for higher stakes, you have this inability to care about the consequences of playing the sport because you’re so focused and intensely involved in the game.” She added, “When athletics becomes a business, anything that becomes an elephant in the room is not discussed.”

Question: What would be the true cost of the tax cut?

Perhaps more important, the biases inherent in static scoring are not the same for all possible policy changes, making comparison of alternative options less reliable. For example, suppose one member of Congress proposes a cut in the corporate tax rate, while another proposes an increase in the child tax credit to help middle-income families. Because the corporate tax is often considered one of the most distortionary taxes in the federal arsenal, cutting it would promote economic growth. The true cost of the tax cut, as estimated by dynamic scoring, would most likely be much less than its static score.

Question: Who has to approve mayor bill de Blasio's housing plan for it to begin?

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: What is the name of the Food and Agriculture Organization's representative?

Three United Nations agencies reported Thursday that 3.9 million people in South Sudan, roughly a third of the population, now face “severe food insecurity” because of the mayhem and disruptions caused by that country’s nearly two-year-old civil war. A statement issued jointly by the agencies, Unicef, the World Food Program and the Food and Agriculture Organization, also said that at least 30,000 people in Unity State, in the north-central part of South Sudan, had fallen into the “catastrophe” phase of food insecurity — the most dire — and are “living in extreme conditions and are facing starvation and death.” Some families, the statement said, are subsisting on one meal a day of fish and water lilies. Despite a number of peace pledges made by the warring sides, fighting has persisted in South Sudan. Serge Tissot, the Food and Agriculture Organization’s representative in South Sudan, said in the statement that “livelihoods have been severely affected by high inflation rates, market disruption, conflict-related displacement and loss of livestock and agricultural production.”

Question: What does the union suggest be used in the tentative agreement?

If the union leaders approve, the deal would next be voted on by G.M.’s U.A.W. members. In a statement, the union president, Dennis Williams, praised the accord, saying, “We believe that this agreement will present stable long-term significant wage gains and job security commitments to U.A.W. members now and in the future.” No details were disclosed, but in its statement the union suggested that the tentative agreement used the wage-progression formula agreed to in the Fiat Chrysler contract that was ratified last week. In that agreement, entry-level workers eventually reach pay parity with more senior counterparts. But the wage-tier issue is not as prominent at G.M. because the carmaker employs less than half the number of entry-level employees that Fiat Chrysler does.

Question: What term did Mr. Bush use?

Though the phenomenon is real, Mr. Bush was blasted by Asian-American groups for repeating the slur.

Question: What is the first political task?

If you think that human nature is good and powerful, then you go around frustrated because the perfect society has not yet been achieved. But if you go through life believing that our reason is not that great, our individual skills are not that impressive, and our goodness is severely mottled, then you’re sort of amazed life has managed to be as sweet as it is. You’re grateful for all the institutions our ancestors gave us, like the Constitution and our customs, which shape us to be better than we’d otherwise be. Appreciation becomes the first political virtue and the need to perfect the gifts of others is the first political task.
