Question: State Senator Liz Krueger belongs to what political party?

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: What type of lawyer is Mr. Yu?

The lawyer, Yu Wensheng, 48, was taken away in handcuffs late Thursday night after more than a dozen police officers forced their way into the family’s Beijing apartment, said his wife, Xu Yan. She said in an interview that the police had confiscated a computer and memory stick from the apartment and had said Mr. Yu would face criminal charges of “picking quarrels and provoking trouble,” a nebulous, catchall accusation increasingly lodged against Chinese rights advocates. Mr. Yu’s detention comes amid a concerted assault in China on so-called rights defense lawyers, a small but audacious band of legal defenders who have been willing to take on politically sensitive cases.

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: Where was the war?

The good earth was having a terrible year. The United States was torn by assassinations, violence in the cities, the war in Vietnam. Then came the astronauts’ words of solace, and the stunning photograph they took that day, of our planet rising, white and blue, over the ashen moon: so lustrous and lovely and, from a distance anyway, serene. Apollo 8 helped end the year on a note of hope and grace. Humanity being what it is, the world remains a place of suffering and calamity. In 2015, catastrophes in the Middle East spread misery and terror the world over. The United States was brutalized, as ever, by the tyranny of gunfire. Our coarsened politics, so expert at keeping the populace fearful and distraught, got ever louder and cruder in the heat of a presidential race. The strutting and fretting promise only to get worse in 2016.

Question: What services do Eaton Vance provide?

Thomas E. Faust Jr. does not come across as an industry disrupter. He is the chief executive of Eaton Vance, a midsize fund company in Boston that has carved out a solid yet unspectacular niche as a provider of investment funds and advice. But since last November, when his company won regulatory approval for a new fund vehicle that seeks to marry the best features of active and passive investing, Mr. Faust has been arguing that the mutual fund industry — or stock-picking funds at least — must either embrace his model or die.

Question: Who plays Igor in "Victor Frankenstein"?

‘Trumbo’ (R, 2:04) This clunker about the blacklisted screenwriter Dalton Trumbo (Bryan Cranston) tells a great-man story with a patchwork of fact and fiction, mixing in the odd bit of newsreel with a great many dull, visually flat and poorly lighted dramatic scenes.

(Dargis) ★ ‘Truth’ (R, 2:01) The title of “Truth,” a gripping, beautifully executed journalistic thriller about the events that ended Dan Rather’s career as a CBS anchorman, should probably be appended with a question mark. More than most docudramas about fairly recent events, it is so well-written and acted that it conveys an eerie illusion of veracity. (Holden) ‘Victor Frankenstein’ (PG-13, 1:49) A pop romp that exhumes Mary Shelley’s famous monster-maker (James McAvoy) for a jaunty bromance with his bestie, Igor (Daniel Radcliffe).

Question: What are students less of?

Other survey results indicated that students were spending more time on academics and socializing less — trends that would normally be lauded. But the lead author of the study, Kevin Eagan, cautioned that the shift could result in higher levels of stress. “Students may be getting the message that they have to take the last year of high school more seriously to get into college, so they’re coming in with greater levels of anxiety,” Mr. Eagan said. “There may need to be a balance that students need to have at some point, and helping students achieve that balance will be more of a concern on colleges and universities.”

Question: Who was the one saying: "My friend, the best is yet to come".

Remember Valentino, the Countess’s lost love whose back story we spent two episodes learning? Forget undead, he’s officially dead thanks to Donovan’s jealousy. That’s what you get for bringing a scimitar to a gunfight. While the Countess confronts Donovan, Liz is talking Iris into making a move: “You and I are women of a certain age. We have suffered, more than our fair share. Damn it, we are the ones who should inherit the earth [...] We’re entitled to a second chance. A glorious blazing, final act.” Armed with guns galore (no scimitars in sight) Iris and Liz open fire on the Countess and Donovan, giving “Hotel” it’s first serious cliffhanger. Thus far Liz has been right about caftans, books choices and the best way to fake pâté. Let us hope she was also right when she said, “My friend, the best is yet to come.”

Question: Who has superior reach?

Rousey started the fight on the attack, perhaps looking for another quick win. But she found herself chasing Holm around the Octagon, all the time taking hard punches and kicks. She struggled to get Holm on the ground, thanks in part to Holm’s superior reach. Even when Rousey began to apply her signature armbar, Holm eluded it and continued the barrage. A nasty kick to the head finished Rousey off. Rousey was taken to a hospital to be checked after the fight and did not make a postfight statement. But in a brief post on Instagram on Monday, she wrote, “I’m going to take a little bit of time, but I’ll be back.”

Question: Who was Googled a lot because people were surprised he was not more popular?

The stage was strangely denuded, like a forest after overzealous logging. There were eight contenders where there had once been 11 — back in the glory days of Scott Walker. Even so, Bush couldn’t and didn’t stand out the way he, more than anyone else, really needed to. He can take some solace though, in the No. 1 questions about two rivals that were trending on Google. “Who is Rand Paul?” was one. And the other, my favorite: “Why do Republicans hate Ted Cruz?”

Question: What kind of surgery did Matt Harvey have?

WASHINGTON — Three months ago, Matt Harvey strutted around the Nationals’ mound here during one of the most important starts of his young career, his first since having Tommy John surgery. He fired fastballs at will, snapped his slider like a whip, struck out Bryce Harper three times and announced to the baseball world that he was back. During his start here Monday, the lasting image of Harvey was him turning, his hands out, watching as a Clint Robinson double ricocheted high off the center-field wall in the third inning. Harvey’s command looked off, and this time the Nationals did not look intimidated. Harvey often walked off the mound in conversation with catcher Anthony Recker, searching for answers. The Mets had aligned their starters after the All-Star break with this series in mind. They wanted to line up Harvey, Jacob deGrom and Noah Syndergaard, their three best starters, to make a run at the Nationals, the National League East leaders. Harvey lost the first game, 7-2, in humbling and conflicting fashion. He allowed five early runs and issued four walks, yet he lasted seven innings and even drove in two runs. Harvey was not at his best, but his offense and his defense repeatedly failed him.

Question: What can be heard on the film of the escape?

What was clear was that those trapped had been living in difficult conditions.

Question: Which division fled west, instead?

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

Answer: Kuomintang’s 93rd Division

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

Question: What type of people have been denied communion

For Catholics, pastoral care for real people often trumps strong teaching — for example, when communion is offered to political leaders and military officials who lead a war judged to be unjust, like the 2003 invasion of Iraq. But divorced and remarried Catholics have been denied communion. Mr. Douthat misses the central point of debate, which is the degree to which all Christians who are thinking about what God requires should consider the experience, including intimate experience, of living neighbors.

Question: What is the name of the border town that the refugees are arriving to in Slovenia?

SPIELFELD, Austria —  The small, alpine state of Slovenia became the latest focus of Europe’s continuing migration crisis, when hundreds of migrants were diverted there on Saturday, after Hungary blocked a main transit route by closing its frontier with Croatia. The Slovenian prime minister, Miro Cerar, said that the army would be used to help deal with the flow of refugees from Croatia, who began arriving at the Slovenian border town of Petisovci and were being transferred to, and then across, the Austrian border.

Question: What did the people of Bosso hear?

“We are in control of the situation,” said the army officer, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly. “Anybody who entered the town, nobody came out alive,” the officer said. He would not say whether any troops or any civilians in Bosso had been killed. “People heard gunfire and went home.” Niger’s army has troops based in Bosso, at the edge of the area of recent fighting with Boko Haram. An army detachment is always posted at the river’s shallowest point, which can be easily crossed. Last week, officials in Bosso said they could hear Chadian planes bomb Boko Haram positions across the frontier. Niger’s Parliament is scheduled to vote Monday on whether the country’s troops will join those of Nigeria, Cameroon and Chad to take on the insurgents. Chad’s troops have had notable successes over the past week in confronting Boko Haram along the Cameroon border, retaking at least one Nigerian town. But the extension of the fighting to Niger is a new phase in the war on Boko Haram. Wary of being drawn into the fight, Niger’s government has been careful so far not to provoke the Islamists. Some analysts believe that the Islamists have heavily infiltrated Diffa, a regional capital in the country’s far east.

Question: what position did Alastair Cook return to?

“To be successful against Australia, it’s certainly not going to be by taking a backward step or allowing them just to dictate terms,” he said last week. “You’ve got to go out and fight fire with fire, be positive and aggressive, and the individuals have to play their own natural game.” That has not always been the English way, but there were signs of a new freedom in its just-concluded matches against New Zealand. Billed as little more than a curtain-raiser for the Ashes, the two tests and five one-day internationals against the Kiwis left most fans wanting more. England’s under-fire test captain, Alastair Cook, returned to form as a batsman. Often criticized for his ultra-orthodox leadership, he also showed signs of greater tactical imagination. “I think Alastair is at a phase of his career where he is not afraid to try new things to try and get success,” said his predecessor as captain, Andrew Strauss, who now is England’s director of cricket.

Question: Who called the economy godless and lawless?

Although strikes come and go here, the violence of the Uber brawl seemed to shock even the French. While commentators deplored the thuggery of some cabdrivers, they deplored “L’uberisation” even more. “The uberisation of the economy is a godless and lawless development model,” wrote Jean-Michel Bouguereau in La République des Pyrénées. Yves Théard in Le Figaro warned that “the invasion of the digital economy” risked loosening the screws of the French economic model, with its emphasis on workers’ rights and social protection, “one by one.” Yves Dusart in the newspaper L’Est Républicain, summed up, “The French model, snug in its padded jewelry box, is cracking.”

Question: What candidate received the most applause during the debate?

The debate probably won’t change much in the polling. Hillary Rodham Clinton reminded us why she’s the front-runner, with her experience, command of the issues and strength in communicating ideas. She seemed both at ease and fearless. It helped that the candidates actually valued time to discuss issues. One of the biggest applause lines was Senator Bernie Sanders’s quip to Mrs. Clinton, “the American people are sick and tired of hearing about your damn emails.” Supporters of Mr. Sanders embraced his passionate critiques, but his performance may not convert those skeptical of his ability to broaden his appeal.

Question: What are magazines and websites portraying more accurately?

Today, Ms. Post said, “Websites and magazines portray a far more accurate, more realistic reflection of what’s expected from us behaviorally at a wedding, and therefore people are acting better. Most people really want to get it right.” The way parties are structured is also changing. Today’s festivities start with the welcome party, which morphs into the ceremony the following evening, which flows effortlessly into the four-hour postnuptial gala, followed by an after-party. Expect Sunday brunch to close the weekend.

Question: What did Mr. Carpenter say was the only way out of the precinct?

Mr. Carpenter, who also spells his surname Charpentier, also said he did not see Mr. Hincapie among the teenagers who attacked the Watkins family. He said the strong-arm tactics the police had used to persuade him and the other defendants to confess were to blame for Mr. Hincapie’s conviction. “You became concerned that your only way out of this precinct was to give the cops a story that they could use and give to the prosecutor,” he said. For his part, Mr. Hincapie said his first order of business was to go to a restaurant and have a seafood dinner. He said during his long incarceration he had at times nursed “a desire for full reprisal and revenge.” “I believed in the biblical imperative on an eye for an eye, that was my reality,” he added. “But I came to realize once I put my bitterness and angriness behind me that compassion was even more powerful. Shame on those individuals who did this to me, and shame on all those individuals who had knowledge of what happened to me. But I forgive them.”

Question: What kind of injuries did Trinity's product cause?

Trinity Industries, which has been accused of making a guardrail that can malfunction and impale drivers, indicated on Friday that it would resume selling the product — days after the Virginia attorney general’s office said the guardrail had “failed miserably” in a crash test. It has been almost a year since Trinity stopped shipping its guardrail system, called the ET-Plus, after a jury in a whistle-blower case found that the company had defrauded the federal government when it failed to disclose potentially hazardous changes it made in 2005. More than 30 states also suspended purchase of the guardrails units.

Question: What do policy makers at the Federal Reserve believe the economy is strong enough to withstand?

On Wednesday, at 8:30 a.m., the Commerce Department will release the latest figures on personal income and spending in October. Economists are looking for a solid 0.4 percentage point increase in income, with spending up 0.3 percent.

Question: What did that take to get to the airplane hanger?

“Here they’re not going to have a lot of opportunities to engage with a presidential campaign,” Jeff Roe, Mr. Cruz’s campaign manager, said as his candidate spoke in St. Paul on Thursday, before heading to the South. “When they do engage with a presidential campaign, I want it to be a meaningful engagement that lasts for hopefully their whole life and our whole life.” Here in Kennesaw, where Mr. Cruz delayed his event by several hours to travel to Washington for a vote, more than 1,000 people gathered in front of a Western-themed nightclub at a strip mall. They got on a bus, were taken to the airplane hangar and waited in an unseasonable chill to cheer the senator when he arrived with his family by chartered plane.

Question: What did Dawkins like to wear?

With a sculpted physique, inordinate strength and an unusually accurate jump shot for a man his size, Dawkins was expected to be a star in the league for years to come, drawing comparisons to Wilt Chamberlain. He was mischievous and flamboyant — he was known to wear an electric lime-green suit — and fond of rhyming and hyperbolic fantasy musings. (He invented the Planet Lovetron business when he was in high school.) But immature, not technically adept around the basket and resistant to the entreaties of his coaches, Gene Shue and later Billy Cunningham — “I was uncoachable,” he admitted years later — he began his career in the shadows of other N.B.A. big men like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Bob Lanier and Wesley Unseld.

Question: Who did Sam Young vote for?

One was Representative Sam Young, Democrat of Glover, a town in northeastern Vermont near the Canadian border. His district, where many voters are unhappy about wind turbines favored by Mr. Shumlin, voted overwhelmingly for Mr. Milne, but on Thursday, Mr. Young voted for Mr. Shumlin. “I think the person who gets the most votes should win,” Mr. Young said.

Answer: Mr. Shumlin

One was Representative Sam Young, Democrat of Glover, a town in northeastern Vermont near the Canadian border. <hl> His district, where many voters are unhappy about wind turbines favored by Mr. Shumlin , voted overwhelmingly for Mr. Milne, but on Thursday, Mr. Young voted for Mr. Shumlin. <hl> “I think the person who gets the most votes should win,” Mr. Young said.

Question: While addressing a crown in Boise, Idaho, President Obama was compared to which infamous world leader?

Consider Idaho, arguably the reddest state in the union, where Republicans control everything but a handful of latte stands. After much bluster and protest, Idaho politicians caved and set up a state health care exchange under Obamacare. To the surprise of the experts, Idahoans have embraced the private coverage available under the Affordable Care Act — “one of the most successful enrollments of any state,” as Kaiser Health News reported. Obama was in Boise on Wednesday, speaking to a crowd of more than 6,000 people at an event where all tickets were gone within an hour. “Now there are 10 black people in Idaho,” was one of the tweets from Boise. The president was fully energized, jocular, primed for a strong finish. A handful of protesters held up the usual hate posters, one comparing him to Hitler. But it did not escape notice that his motorcade passed a Shell station selling regular gasoline for $1.77 a gallon.

Question: Char kway teow produces more happiness than what?

Noodles stir-fried with shrimp and soy sauce, called char kway teow, produce far more happiness than you’d expect from something that looks like shrimp lo mein. The appearance of another stir-fry, nyonya chap chye, is deceptive, too. Clear rice noodles jostled together with tofu and mushrooms, the dish has almost no color and a mild flavor, but the more you eat the better it gets. The Hainanese chicken rice is another sleeper; it tastes like much more than slices of soy-lacquered chicken over rice cooked in chicken broth.

Question: The euro hit what value on June 7,2010?

The euro on Friday reached its lowest level against the dollar since June 7, 2010, when it hit $1.1923. The currency of the 19-nation eurozone has fallen nearly 14 percent since it climbed to $1.3910 on May 7. The last time the euro was so low, Greece’s debt problems were causing havoc in the eurozone and there was fear the common currency would not survive. Greece is again in turmoil, with coming elections likely to usher in a left-wing government, but is no longer the main cause of the euro’s decline. The concern now is that the eurozone is already stuck in the same kind of stagnation that has afflicted Japan for two decades. “History shows that falling prices can be as damaging to the prosperity and stability of our countries as high inflation,” Mr. Draghi told Handelsblatt.

Question: What was Apple's best quarter ever?

And in a move sure to make Apple old-timers squirm, the newest version of the iPad, which has an optional keyboard that attaches to the tablet, is even imitating some of the features of Microsoft’s competing product, called the Surface. Together, the tablet, stylus and keyboard make for a combination computing device that Apple executives had long said that they wouldn’t create, perhaps indicating the people running the company today are willing to forget about the past as they try to cater to shifting consumer tastes. But the center of this ever-expanding Silicon Valley giant is still the iPhone, which accounts for 56 percent of Apple’s profits. And in a presentation that lasted more than two hours on Wednesday at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium here, Apple executives emphasized several new iPhone features that — despite other announcements, ranging from an improved version of the company’s television controller to chic watchbands — are still the key to Apple’s success. “Investors have been rewarded by assuming Apple can continually push the envelope on what a phone and the company can do,” said Michael A. Sansoterra, the chief investment officer at Silvant Capital Management, which owns Apple stock. Because of the first iteration of the larger-screen iPhone 6 introduced last year, Apple’s fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, when the company had an $18 billion profit, was the most profitable quarter ever for a publicly traded company.

Question: What position was someone in on the Chinese daybed?

CAMBRIDGE, England — THE light was fading on the hills above the Arno, and my closest friend in the careworn ranks of foreign correspondents was sitting cross-legged on a canopied Chinese daybed, in a lovely old tree-shaded house in his native village, a brisk walk from the heart of Florence. His name was Tiziano Terzani, one of Italy’s most celebrated writers, and on that weekend, a decade ago, he was host with his wife, Angela, for the marriage of their daughter in a soaring renaissance basilica in Florence.

Question: what party is Mr. Essid a member of?

Prime Minister Habib Essid presented his second government in two weeks on Monday, this time including more parties and a position for Islamists. The cabinet he proposed on Jan. 23 consisted of just two parties and did not survive a no-confidence vote. It has now been expanded to involve five parties, including one post — that of employment minister — for the powerful Islamist party, Ennahda. Mr. Essid’s Nida Tunis party won the most seats in October’s election but still needed to form a coalition. The government faces a confidence vote in Parliament on Wednesday, which it is expected to pass.

Question: Who did Russian's invaded last year in unmarked unmarked unifrom?

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

Question: Who is the pilot of the drone?

It is a drone, and its pilot is a farmer named Jean Hediger, one of a growing number of American agrarians who have taken to using unmanned aircraft — better known for their use in war-torn lands far from the wheat fields of eastern Colorado — to gather information about the health of their crops. In doing so, these farmers are breaking the law. It is illegal to fly drones for commercial purposes without permission from federal authorities, and those who do so risk penalties in the thousands of dollars. But the technology holds such promise that many farmers are using it anyway, dotting the country’s rural skies with whirring devices saddled with tiny video cameras. “This has really become a big deal in ag,” said Ms. Hediger, who is in her early 60s. “Our intent is pure,” she added. “Without being able to fly drones over our fields, they are asking us to remain in the dark ages.”
