Question: What other movie is Aaron Sorkin known for?

The movie “Steve Jobs” had all the makings of a Hollywood blockbuster. It had a starry cast (Kate Winslet, Jeff Daniels, Michael Fassbender). The screenplay was by the acclaimed writer Aaron Sorkin (who also wrote “The Social Network”). And it received rave reviews (“‘Steve Jobs’ is a rich and potent document of the times,” wrote my colleague A.O. Scott.) But the movie tanked at the box office, earning about $18 million in the seven weeks after its Oct. 9 release. Perhaps Hollywood had overestimated the public’s fascination with the man. Perhaps the film came a couple of years too late or a couple of decades too early. Or perhaps we have Steve Jobs fatigue, after all the books, movies and documentaries on the visionary Apple co-founder. But perhaps most surprising is the way in which Silicon Valley relished in, and contributed to, the film’s demise.

Question: What country could resume a military training agreement with Nigeria?

That is why the answer to defeating Boko Haram begins and ends with Nigeria. That is not to say that allies cannot help us. My administration would welcome the resumption of a military training agreement with the United States, which was halted during the previous administration. We must, of course, have better coordination with the military campaigns our African allies, like Chad and Niger, are waging in the struggle against Boko Haram. But, in the end, the answer to this threat must come from within Nigeria.

Question: What did some lawmakers resent about Mr. Obama's speech?

Mr. Obama criticized Republicans who are pressing forward with legislation to block the accord, which is on track for a vote in September. Opposition to the agreement, he said, stems from “knee-jerk partisanship that has become all too familiar, rhetoric that renders every decision made to be a disaster, a surrender.” He said hard-liners in Iran who chant “Death to America” were “making common cause with the Republican caucus.” Lawmakers who oppose the deal said they were not persuaded, and some said they resented the president’s tone. Senator Mitch McConnell, Republican of Kentucky and the majority leader, said the speech had done a disservice to lawmakers in both parties who “have serious and heartfelt concerns.” “These Democrats and Republicans deserved serious answers today, not some outrageous attempt to equate their search for answers with supporting chants of ‘Death to America,’ ” Mr. McConnell said, adding that Democrats who had declared their opposition would be “especially insulted” by the president’s remarks. “This goes way over the line of civil discourse,” he said. In his speech, the president invoked the legacy of John F. Kennedy, who in 1963 appeared on the same campus to push for a nuclear test ban treaty with the Soviet Union. But in making his case, Mr. Obama was also returning to a theme that helped him rise to power. As a first-term senator, Mr. Obama gained political prominence in part because of his strong opposition to the war in Iraq. It helped him win the 2008 Democratic nomination — defeating Hillary Rodham Clinton, who backed the invasion and later became his secretary of state — and the presidency. Now, as a second-term president working to defend an ambitious diplomatic nonproliferation accord with Iran and protect his legacy, Mr. Obama is conjuring the antiwar fervor that animates his party’s liberal base.

Question: Who was freed from prison on Friday?

JAKARTA, Indonesia — Two educators at a prestigious international school in Indonesia were freed from prison on Friday after an appeals court overturned their convictions and 10-year prison sentences on charges of sexually assaulting kindergartners, in a case that the school said was fabricated and that led to international concern about the competence of the country’s judicial system. “We are relieved and grateful that justice can finally prevail,” one of the pair, Ferdinand Tjiong, told reporters as he and the other, Neil Bantleman, were mobbed by a throng of journalists and supporters after walking through the gates of Cipinang Penitentiary in Jakarta, the Indonesian capital. “This should be a lesson to all of us that we should keep fighting for justice and the innocent,” Mr. Tjiong said.

Question: What color were James Holmes' pants?

As Judge Carlos Samour Jr. read the 165 counts against Mr. Holmes, the defendant stood silently between his lawyers, staring straight ahead, with his hands tucked into the pockets of a pair of khaki-colored pants. He did not glance at his parents sitting two rows behind. When the hourlong recitation of the verdicts was done, he sat down and lightly swiveled in his chair. Coming within days of the Aurora shooting’s third anniversary, the guilty verdict ends one phase of a grueling legal saga, but another one is set to begin. As the district attorney in suburban Arapahoe County argues for the death penalty, the jury will begin weighing the toll and nature of Mr. Holmes’s actions to decide whether to send him to prison for life or to Colorado’s death row. The sentencing phase is expected to take weeks. It could feature more wrenching statements from survivors and families of the victims, as well as testimony from defense witnesses discussing the role that mental illness played in propelling Mr. Holmes toward the movie theater that night.

Question: What network was Air American Radio apart of?

Even more important, according to Mr. Rodham, was what he said was going to be Mr. Clinton’s help on his Haiti rebuilding project.

Period,” Mr. Drobny, a co-founder of Air America Radio, the former liberal talk network, said in a phone interview. He called the effort “humanitarian.”

Question: What is one example of an indication for gun violence?

No single law usually could have prevented mass shootings, which remain rare. Gun violence experts are increasingly interested in changing laws to better target those who have a demonstrated propensity for gun violence. For instance, a nonviolent felony conviction from two decades ago may well be less predictive of gun violence than a domestic violence protection order or drunken-driving conviction, said Daniel Webster, director of the Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Policy and Research.

Question: How many people were involved in committing the attack?

The brutal terrorist attack on the French satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo in Paris on Wednesday has badly shaken France. But the French have reacted with a fierce determination to defend their freedoms. President François Hollande, speaking from outside the magazine’s office a couple of hours after the murder of 12 people, was crystal clear: This was an assault, he said, on “the expression of freedom” that is the “spirit of the republic.” Two heavily armed attackers, who apparently knew the magazine’s staff would be gathered around a table late on Wednesday morning for a weekly editorial meeting, forced themselves into Charlie Hebdo’s office and shot 10 people dead, including the top editor and prominent cartoonists. Two policemen were also killed. At least 11 other victims were wounded. The gunmen then fled with a third accomplice in a waiting car. One of the three later surrendered to police, but the other two, who are brothers, remain at large.

Question: Where did the The Basel Committee meet?

The Basel Committee, a panel of central bankers and regulators from around the world that meets in the Swiss city of Basel, probably did not give much thought to the diamond industry when it was formulating new guidelines. But some diamond wholesalers may have been engaging in the kind of practices that the committee is trying to prevent, including excessive dependence on borrowed money. (Lending to the diamond industry is inherently risky in any case. There are thousands of gradations of diamonds, and it is extremely difficult to value the gems used as collateral.) Meanwhile, the diamond industry faces many other challenges. Sales in China, a large market, have slowed, in part because an anticorruption campaign has made government officials and their families wary of displays of wealth.

Question: What does the blue pill do?

That is in sharp contrast to the introduction of Pfizer’s Viagra, the so-called little blue pill aimed at treating erectile dysfunction in men. Viagra was a blockbuster from the start in 1998 and last year Pfizer sold nearly $1.7 billion of it. With financial help from Sprout, women’s groups and other supporters started a campaign to win F.D.A. approval for Addyi, noting that the agency had approved comparable treatments for men. Sprout’s effort succeeded but the F.D.A.’s approval came with a boxed warning, alerting patients not to take the drug with alcohol. Women with impaired liver function were also advised not to take it. Ms. Whitehead will continue to consult with Valeant and Sprout executives after her departure, according to the statement from Valeant.

Bush; former Vice President Dick Cheney; and George Tenet, a former director of the C.I.A., personae non gratae. For good measure, Mr. Maduro warned that the American diplomats who remained in Venezuela must clear any meetings, presumably with anyone, with his government. The moves are meant to combat “imperialist aggression,” he told a throng of supporters on Saturday during a rambling, effusive speech.

Question: John Haberstock is an employee of what company?

The devices are uniquely difficult to disinfect, and there is no expert consensus on the best way to do so now that standard methods have been called into question. Even when health care providers “appear to be doing everything right, there has been transmission of CRE,” said Dr. Arjun Srinivasan, the associate director for health care associated infection prevention programs at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Makers of the special scopes defended their disinfection recommendations. John Haberstock, a spokesman for Pentax Medical, said its cleaning protocols achieved a “high level disinfection of duodenoscopes.” Diane Rainey, a spokeswoman for Fujifilm, said the company’s instructions to providers “are appropriate to maintain patient safety.”

Question: Why are urban areas encouraged to use too much water?

In Tehran, officials barely managed to keep the water running this summer as reservoirs shrank to dangerously low levels. Subsidies for water and electricity encourage overconsumption in urban areas. Isa Kalantari, a former minister of agriculture, warns that more than half of Iran’s provinces could become uninhabitable within 15 years, displacing millions of people. As in drought-stricken California, agriculture accounts for about 90 percent of water consumption in Iran. And here, matters are not helped by the prevalence of crude, centuries-old irrigation methods and other wasteful practices.

Question: What does Rohit Deshpande consider to be the worst consequence a catalog could have with consumers?

With “so much clutter and information overload,” said Rohit Deshpande, a professor of marketing at Harvard Business School, “just getting attention is the hardest thing to do right now for brands. It’s conceivable that trying catalogs again is a way to do it.” Mr. Deshpande said research showed that frequency helped consumers process marketing messages, but some studies suggested diminishing returns after three advertisements. “The issue has always been: What do we have to do in order to get mind-share and not bore people?” Mr. Deshpande said. “Or, worse, turn them off?”

Question: What are they prisoners of?

They’re prisoners of a cruel delusion. I don’t see how a loving God could put them in such an impossible position. Then you can add this to the popular arguments against Christianity. But again, the Christian idea is that God asks the seemingly impossible of all of us — and, fortunately forgives us when we fail. Nobody has to accept this idea, but if you do it’s compatible with a lot of pain, struggle and mystery where humanity encounters God. Especially in a faith whose “Happy Easter” can’t be separated from the cross.

Question: What is the Twitter hashtag used for the detainees?

“If China is committed to advancing the rights of women, then it should be working to address the issues raised by these women’s rights activists — not silencing them,” said Samantha Power, the American ambassador to the United Nations. From Morocco to India to New York, supporters have been posting images of themselves wearing masks that bear the photos of the jailed women. Because two of the detainees are lesbian and another is bisexual, overseas gay rights organizations like All Out have jumped into the fray, collecting more than 85,000 signatures and popularizing the hashtag #freethefive on Twitter.

Question: How does Ms. Simpson earn money to live?

Born in Gaylord, Minn., to a minister father and housewife mother, Ms. Simpson studied advertising and communications in New York, when she wasn’t partying at places like Danceteria, Area and other clubs of the moment. Inspired by the East Village scene, she started dolling up in 1987, aiming for a “flirty career girl” look, and soon became one of the scene’s reigning drag personalities. She started a feisty drag zine called My Comrade, which covered go-go boys, celebs and queer politics, and hosted a weekly drag party called Channel 69 at the Pyramid Club on Avenue A. Her stature grew when she performed at the outdoor drag festival Wigstock. “I didn’t think of Linda as being a separate person from myself,” said Ms. Simpson, who makes a living from event hosting and performing. “I already had a love of sarcasm, so it was transferred to the stage,” she added. “After being shamed for being feminine most of my life, it was liberating to wear a dress and be applauded for that.” For a pop cultural moment in the mid-1990s, drag flourished. RuPaul had a hit record, and the drag road movie “The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert” was a box office hit.

Question: What were women expected to do?

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: What kind of fish was used to make the Goan fish curry?

The first dish I tried from the main course spread, chicken chettinadu, was lackluster. Overcooked and bland cubes of breast sat in a black pepper and coconut curry that wasn’t spicy, as it was supposed to be, and didn’t taste of coconut. No matter this miss. Rogan josh, lamb shank cubes marinated in yogurt and spices and cooked in a curry redolent of garam masala, was deep with flavor and satisfying along with a scoop of the accompanying basmati rice. And the Goan fish curry, tilapia simmered with fenugreek, mustard paste, fennel seeds and coconut milk, a specialty from the coastal state in Western India, had the right balance of sourness and heat. The aloo gobi, cauliflower florets and diced potatoes in a gingery tomato curry, was simple like it should be, but the tandoori prawns wooed us the most. For the dish, seven jumbo tiger prawns are marinated overnight in yogurt, red chili powder and ginger garlic paste, and are then baked in a tandoor, a clay oven. The prawns arrived sizzling on a cast-iron dish. It takes a mindful eye not to overcook shrimp, and these were soft, almost buttery and perfectly seasoned.

Question: Which one is the method used by 6 of the 7 schools to admit students?

Taking a small step to address segregation in New York City schools, the Education Department announced on Friday that it would allow seven schools to reserve slots for children from low-income or non-English speaking families. Six of the seven schools that will change their policies are unzoned, meaning that they admit students by lottery rather than by drawing from the surrounding neighborhood, the Education Department said. Under the pilot program, students who qualify for free or reduced lunch, are in the child welfare system, are English-language learners or have incarcerated parents would be given priority in those lotteries. The schools would set aside from about 20 percent to 60 percent of their seats for students in those groups, many of them black or Hispanic. All the affected schools are elementary schools, and the changes will take effect for the upcoming kindergarten application cycle. The program grew out of recommendations that the schools’ principals made to the Education Department last year, as Mayor Bill de Blasio has faced growing pressure from principals and community leaders to increase diversity.

Question: What is the app called that provides a service for finding ways to commute?

If you’re lucky, you’re reading this somewhere other than Manhattan. For all that it’s been celebrated in song, summer in the city is often a miserable affair. (The lyrics of that Lovin’ Spoonful hit are worth a second listen.) Best to get away, and any app that can help you do that as quickly as Wanderu is worth the space it takes up on your home screen. Not unlike travel websites like Kayak, Wanderu is a service for finding buses and trains to get you from here to there. It was launched two years ago in the Northeast, then gradually expanded its range before releasing iPhone and Android apps earlier this year. The service is now available in most of the United States.

Question: Who conducted the American Symphony Orchestra?

Some of those elements are evident in his Piano Concerto (1938), a vast and sometimes unwieldy piece whose slow movement features an unusual duet between harp and piano and whose virtuosic whirlwinds, acerbic chords and gentle pentatonic, folklorish melodies were deftly and energetically rendered by the pianist Jorge Federico Osorio on Saturday evening, with Mr. Botstein conducting the American Symphony Orchestra. Mr. Chávez’s catalog includes six symphonies. The second, the Sinfonía India, uses native Yaqui instruments and North Mexican melodies and is one of Mr. Chávez’s best-known pieces; it led Copland and other prominent American supporters to identify Mr. Chávez as a quintessentially “Mexican composer.”

Question: What did Dell announce?

In addition, from all the cloud companies 80 percent of every new major purchase is for a more powerful chip. The newer and more powerful chips tend to have even higher profit margins, and also spur Intel to develop new things faster. Last week Amazon announced it would soon have Intel’s most powerful chip available in its cloud. The changes come while Intel’s traditional customers undergo their own radical changes. On Monday Dell, a big maker of servers and PCs, announced it was buying the data storage giant EMC. On Nov. 2, the server and storage businesses of Hewlett-Packard will split off from its PC business, in what top executives hope is a move for a faster-moving business.

Answer: it was buying the data storage giant EMC

In addition, from all the cloud companies 80 percent of every new major purchase is for a more powerful chip. The newer and more powerful chips tend to have even higher profit margins, and also spur Intel to develop new things faster.

Question: What steps did Seattle take to protect the privacy of filmed residents?

Police departments around the country have been moving with unusual speed to equip officers with body cameras to film their often edgy encounters with the public. But the adoption of these cameras has created a new conflict over who has the right to view the recordings. In Seattle, where a dozen officers started wearing body cameras in a pilot program in December, the department has set up its own YouTube channel, broadcasting a stream of blurred images to protect the privacy of people filmed. Much of this footage is uncontroversial; one scene shows a woman jogging past a group of people and an officer watching her, then having a muted conversation with people whose faces have been obscured.

Answer: blurred images

Question: What are the two examples that the lawyer gave?

Justice Kagan said that false statements may be damage enough. “Why isn’t the dissemination of false information about you in a credit report,” she asked, “perfectly sufficient if Congress says that’s a concrete injury?” Andrew J. Pincus, a lawyer for Spokeo, said suits should be allowed only if plaintiffs can show the concrete injury generally required to establish standing to sue. He gave two examples: harm to credit or a missed job opportunity. Justice Kagan responded that people almost never know why a bank or potential employer turned them down. “I mean,” she said, “it’s actually the quintessential kind of injury that you will never be able to detect and surely not to prove.”

Question: How much was spent on the makeover?

Q. Your next makeover is at 1156 Avenue of the Americas.  A. That’s a building that we’ve owned since 1999. I was looking at the building and I said, well, if this building was for sale now and one of the major brokers had it on the market it would come with a high-gloss book and it would show all of the possibilities a buyer could do with the building. So I thought there’s no reason we shouldn’t do it. We own it. We could do what a broker would say could be done. It’s about an 84,000-square-foot building, so it’s rather on the small side, and on that we’re spending $4 million. Q. What’s your occupancy rate portfoliowide?  A. We’re over 96 percent. We have a high renewal rate as well — in excess of 70 percent.

Answer: $4 million

Question: What caused traffic to back up in Hungary?

3. The 30-year-old man charged with killing a Texas sheriff’s deputy said nothing as prosecutors described horrified witnesses at a gas station watching as he repeatedly shot the victim from behind. The district attorney said she did not know if anti-police sentiment was a factor. 4. Traffic in Hungary backed up for miles as Austria stepped up border checks. Last week’s discovery of the remains of 71 people in an abandoned, unventilated truck pushed Europe to the grim realization that homegrown trafficking rings were preying on the incoming floods of war refugees and other migrants. 5. Refugees packed trains from Hungary to Germany, which has eased its asylum requirements for Syrians. The German leader, Angela Merkel, warned that Europe faces the possible end of the open border policy that has defined the European Union.

Question: Who received a boost when Mr. Bush managed to mess up?

In less than 15 minutes, Mr. Bush managed to step on his message, to give Mr. Trump a boost and to offend Asian-Americans, a growing population that is every bit as important as Latinos in winning presidential elections. And he failed to give Latino voters any persuasive evidence that he had anything better to offer them than his opponents in a revoltingly xenophobic Republican campaign. It may be time to offer this forlorn candidate some free advice. Although if he really is the smarter Bush, he knows these things already:

Question: What is one prime example of nothing lasts forever?

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: Which organization claimed the video was stock footage used for dramatization?

But more importantly during Wednesday’s debate, Fiorina unleashed a scurrilous attack in her pitch to defund Planned Parenthood, saying of the attack videos released about the group: “I dare Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama to watch these tapes. Watch a fully formed fetus on the table, its heart beating, its legs kicking, while someone says, ‘We have to keep it alive to harvest its brain.’ “ In fact, the footage of the fetus was “stock footage” that “was added to the video to dramatize its content,” according to PolitiFact, which rated Fiorina’s comments as “mostly false.” FactCheck.org also said: “We are aware of no video showing such a scene.” As Talking Points Memo’s Josh Marshall put it Friday: “Fiorina has a habit of simply making things up.”

Question: What is the philosophy of the supreme court?

At the same time, Mr. Hamid points out, he’s made “an attempt at optimism,” however forced and possibly misguided — so fervent is his belief that “Pakistan is a test bed for pluralism on a globalizing planet that desperately needs more pluralism.” Although he writes that Pakistanis have often been their “own worst enemies,” he says that he’s never believed the role the country frequently “plays as a villain on news shows”: “The Pakistan I knew was the out-of-character Pakistan, Pakistan without its makeup and plastic fangs, a working actor with worn-out shoes, a close family and a hearty laugh.” Despite its inclusion on lists of failing states, he goes on, Pakistan is “not a basket case,” arguing in one essay that “it has well-established political parties, noisy private media, and an independent-minded supreme court.”
