Question: How much has Delta spent on lobbying since 2012?

The public faces of the Ex-Im Bank battle may be mom-and-pop exporters walking the hallways of Capitol Hill in support of the agency, and the ideological spear carriers of the conservative, free-market movement, like Club for Growth and the Heritage Foundation, in opposition. But those message makers mask a behind-the-scenes slugfest between two heavyweights, Boeing and Delta, which have narrower, bottom-line interests and very deep pockets. The normally obscure Export-Import Bank, whose main job is to help American businesses sell their goods and services abroad, will cease to exist on July 1 if Congress does not renew its authorization. Delta has spent nearly $10 million on lobbying since 2012, at least in part to kill the Ex-Im Bank or greatly diminish loan guarantees for Boeing customers abroad, according to lobby disclosure forms. Boeing has already put up more than $69 million over that same period on Ex-Im and other interests, according to the documents. “We have been lobbying a lot on this because it’s a very important issue for us,” said Tim Neale, Boeing’s government operations spokesman. “We know our business, and we know there are customers even in times of good credit availability that need a government loan guarantee.”

Question: Was the current with the athletes or against them for the last five hours?

But the shark disappeared, the current turned at midmorning Tuesday, and for the final five hours of the swim, the athletes swam with the current, their every stroke infused with the momentum of the ocean. Warmuth took the final shift as the Deep Enders closed in on the Palos Verdes Peninsula. “I was just gliding across the water,” Warmuth said. “It was very fluid; the water was warm and glassy. It was an amazing feeling.” With the Palos Verdes bluffs looming larger with every stroke, the sea became murky as four-foot waves swelled and thrashed the rocky shore. Behind Warmuth, her teammates dived into the water and swam to shore in a V formation, symbolizing victory. Warmuth checked the waves, timed it right and let the tide push her onto the rocks, crusted with razor-sharp barnacles. At 4:52 p.m. Tuesday — 33 hours 37 minutes 26 seconds after the relay began — Warmuth took the required three steps clear of the tide line, not far from the Terranea Resort, in Rancho Palos Verdes. Soon her friends joined her on shore. Having navigated swirling seas, thick with jellyfish and as deep as 1,000 feet in some places, they hugged and celebrated, elated and exhausted.

Question: Who is trying to help research and connect happiness with freedom?

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: Since when has China's officials been studying similar sitiuations?

Officials at China’s central bank have closely studied the situation in the United States in the 1980s, when government deregulation of interest rates contributed to what became known as the savings and loan crisis. Banks and other lending institutions became locked in competitive increases in deposit rates, which drove them to make increasingly risky, high-interest loans. By the mid-1990s, nearly 3,000 United States financial institutions had failed. Chinese regulators are hoping to avoid a repeat of the American experience. To help keep banks in check, China’s deposit insurance plan will require the banks to pay a two-part premium: a fixed minimum rate, plus an adjustable rate based on the riskiness of their lending practices.

Question: Where does the intro of "Paris" take place?

And it’s not yet noon in “Paris,” a six-part French mini-series that traverses 24 hours as a dozen seemingly random residents dodge, dart and finally collide. Created by the writer Virginie Brac and the director Gilles Bannier of the labyrinthine crime drama “Spiral,” and starting Tuesday, Nov. 3, at 11 p.m. Eastern on TV5Monde, it’s a moody mashup of cool and grit featuring the César-winning actor Éric Caravaca, the Swiss model Julie Ordon and the French rapper Kool Shen; a score by the keyboardist Hervé Salters; and a graphic intro that soars through the innards of the Eiffel Tower. Oh — and subtitles.

Question: In what year did Gerald Reitlinger made his study?

One standard way to adjust historic art prices to account for inflation is to run them through the U.S. Department of Labor’s Consumer Price Index inflation calculator. Using this method, the czar’s big 1914 price for the Leonardo — hailed by Gerald Reitlinger in his 1961 study, “The Economics of Taste,” as “the most expensive picture that has ever been sold” — is equal to $35.5 million today, which would buy a middling-quality Mark Rothko.

Question: What is the name of the person who directs entertainment at GLAAD?

Several reality series, some still in the planning stages, are centered on transgender people, like TLC’s “All That Jazz,” about the teenage transgender activist Jazz Jennings, and VH1’s “TransAmerica,” about the model and activist Carmen Carrera. Nick Adams, the director of programs for transgender media at the gay rights organization Glaad, said that any time a transgender celebrity comes forward with his or her story, “it goes a very long way toward educating people about who we are and the challenges that we face.” “Every transgender person’s journey is unique, and by choosing to share this story, Bruce Jenner adds another layer to America’s understanding of what it means to be transgender,” Mr. Adams said in a statement on Friday night. Mr. Adams, who is transgender, said that media portrayals of transgender people had improved since he transitioned 18 years ago. But, he said, such reports need to more fully explore what it means to be transgender.

Question: Name two cloud computing leaders.

PC sales are in a long decline, as customers increasingly use online services connected to mobile devices. While Microsoft and others try to revive the market with new designs and tabletlike models, in the most recent quarter worldwide PC shipments fell 10.8 percent from the year before, according to IDC. Making PC chips is still a big business, but not the way it once was. The data center group also has much higher profit margins: Operating profit from PC chips was $2.1 billion, down 20 percent from a year ago, while data center chips had an operating profit of $2.1 billion, up 9 percent. That matters, because Intel is already stressing products in networking and advanced cloud systems, to feed the profitability of cloud systems as PCs continue to wane. That means cloud computing leaders like Amazon and Google could benefit even more, and expand their online operations. Having missed much of the market for chips in mobile devices, Intel is also investing in sensors for devices connected to cloud systems.

Question: When did Archibald Motley die?

★ Whitney Museum of American Art: ‘Archibald Motley: Jazz Age Modernist’ (through Jan. 17) Let’s take it as a good omen that the first solo show to appear in the Whitney’s new home is a career retrospective of a still understudied artist. Motley (1891-1981) was born in New Orleans and lived in Chicago, where he painted the cultural life of the city’s African-American neighborhood known as Bronzeville, portraying it with an eye for calibrations of class and race, and with a sense of his own conflicted position within its context. The show is modest in size but has features that many larger, sexier exhibitions lack: an affecting narrative, a distinctive atmosphere, and a complex and troubling political and moral tenor. 99 Gansevoort Street, at Washington Street, 212-570-3600, whitney.org.

Question: What was "The Jones" rebranded as?

But this year, the hosts of “The Jones” will be broadcasting for the league itself. A little more than a year ago, “The Jones” podcast was rebranded as “The Starters,” a television program shown weeknights on NBATV. It is available to stream live and download as a podcast but it exists primarily as a television broadcast. In its second season, “The Starters” is growing quickly in popularity. According to the network, viewership has increased by 24 percent this season, with podcast downloads up 22 percent. NBATV says it will continue to raise the show’s profile. Plans for this weekend include an hourlong live show at 6 p.m. Friday, with player interviews and an appearance by the basketball great George Gervin. “They prove you can be entertaining and smart on TV without being overbearing and loud about it,” said Zach Lowe, an N.B.A. writer for the Grantland website and a podcaster. In the wake of the hit true-crime show “Serial,” podcasts are widely acknowledged to be growing. A recent report from Edison Research indicates a “dramatic increase in podcast consumption.” Jeff Ullrich, the co-founder of the podcasting network Earwolf, says the shift has been palpable.

It is available to stream live and download as a podcast but it exists primarily as a television broadcast. In its second season, “The Starters” is growing quickly in popularity. According to the network, viewership has increased by 24 percent this season, with podcast downloads up 22 percent. NBATV says it will continue to raise the show’s profile. Plans for this weekend include an hourlong live show at 6 p.m. Friday, with player interviews and an appearance by the basketball great George Gervin. “They prove you can be entertaining and smart on TV without being overbearing and loud about it,” said Zach Lowe, an N.B.A. writer for the Grantland website and a podcaster. In the wake of the hit true-crime show “Serial,” podcasts are widely acknowledged to be growing. A recent report from Edison Research indicates a “dramatic increase in podcast consumption.” Jeff Ullrich, the co-founder of the podcasting network Earwolf, says the shift has been palpable.

Question: How long is the play?

But this 40-minute play from 1921, seldom seen or read outside academia, has an exhilarating air of discovery that finds the fun — and the sense — in her seeming nonsense. Its full title, “Reread Another A Play to Be Played Indoors or Out I Wish to Be a School,” offers an accurate idea of what to expect. Staged by the Target Margin artistic director David Herskovits, a man celebrated for bringing cobwebbed theatrical arcana into the light, it is performed with tripping grace by Clare Barron, Purva Bedi and Ugo Chukwu (and a participatory sound man, Jesse Freedman), who wear kimonos and sailor stripes, suggesting extras from some hybrid Gilbert & Sullivan operetta. Using kitschy objects like white plastic globes and shiny party hats as visual aids, they speak in cryptic fragments of mountains and men and mothers and colorblind house painters.

Question: What might actually lead to  innovation and or entrepreneurship?

He is relentlessly negative, on the other hand, when describing institutions in which people compete for political power or economic gain. At one point he links self-interest with violence. He comes out against technological advances that will improve productivity by replacing human work. He specifically condemns market-based mechanisms to solve environmental problems, even though these cap-and-trade programs are up and running in places like California. Moral realists, including Catholic ones, should be able to worship and emulate a God of perfect love and still appreciate systems, like democracy and capitalism, that harness self-interest. But Francis doesn’t seem to have practical strategies for a fallen world. He neglects the obvious truth that the qualities that do harm can often, when carefully directed, do enormous good. Within marriage, lust can lead to childbearing. Within a regulated market, greed can lead to entrepreneurship and economic innovation. Within a constitution, the desire for fame can lead to political greatness. You would never know from the encyclical that we are living through the greatest reduction in poverty in human history. A raw and rugged capitalism in Asia has led, ironically, to a great expansion of the middle class and great gains in human dignity.

Question: Who is Marcelo Aguirre?

The #nightshift hashtag is especially well populated by the armed professions and the healing ones. Sometimes they are almost one and the same, as in the case of @armedmedic3153, a.k.a. Marcelo Aguirre, a paramedic in Newark and suburban New Jersey. He owns an AR-15, a 9-millimeter and a shotgun, but the only thing he shoots on the night shift is his camera. He works nights so he can study days; he wants to be a doctor. Nights are good preparation for that: You get more serious cases. You learn on the job. A 12-hour course each night you’re on. Twenty-four hours if you take a double. After a while, the adrenaline that juices you when you’re new — when you’re still keeping a tally of the lives you’ve saved — disappears. You just do the job. “High speed and low drag,” Aguirre told me when I called. “Please ignore the siren,” he said. “We’re going to a call.” A stroke. Nothing to get excited about. Coffee sustains him. He stays clean. Some guys, he said, use Provigil, but that’s prescribed. “For shift-work disorder,” he said.

Question: What year did the military takeover occur?

CAIRO — At least 18 people were killed in political violence on Sunday, the fourth anniversary of the Arab Spring uprising, a reminder of the ruthless crackdown the military-backed government has used to silence any echoes of that revolt. Security officials said three of those killed were militants trying to plant bombs that accidentally exploded in two Nile Delta towns, and three others were police conscripts. At least 12 others were civilians killed by security forces. As many as 10 civilians were killed in clashes in the Matariya district, a frequent flash point on the northern edge of Cairo, and dozens of civilians were reportedly injured in clashes at scattered protests around the country. After nearly 18 months of recurring police shootings at street protests since the military takeover in 2013, it was the deaths of two others killed over the weekend that most captured Egypt’s attention. Sondos Reda Abu Bakr, a 17-year-old high school student, was killed Friday by police officers firing birdshot at a demonstration in Alexandria in support of ousted President Mohamed Morsi of the Muslim Brotherhood. And Shaimaa al-Sabbagh, 31, a left-leaning poet and activist, was killed in Cairo. She was a member of a socialist political party that had supported President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi and the military takeover he led in 2013.

Question: Who is attacking the bureau?

The bureau is in the meantime coming under fire from lawmakers of both parties for failing to meet the challenges of today’s searing drought. Representative Kevin McCarthy, the majority leader and a Republican from California’s parched inland, has criticized the bureau’s efforts in his state. Lawmakers like Mr. McCarthy are particularly furious that the bureau and the State of California continue to direct scarce water into rivers to support fish habitat, even as farms wither and families struggle to make do with less water.

Question: Up4NYC, wants to reform the program so developers pay construction workers what kind of wages?

The Alliance for Tenant Power and the Community Service Society, an anti-poverty group, recently called for abolishing 421-a. But a union construction coalition, Up4NYC, wants to reform the program so developers pay construction workers middle-class, or union, wages. Lisa Gomez, chairwoman of the New York State Affordable Housing Association, a builder’s group, argues that union pay scales would torpedo the production of affordable housing. Her group, however, favors the mayor’s proposal. “I’m excited about the potential creation of additional revenue for affordable housing,” she said.

Question: What is the name of Joan Shelley's guitar player?

Ms. Shelley is from Louisville, Ky., where she has recorded in duos and groups; “Electric Ursa” is her second solo album. Her songs hold echoes of the area’s Appalachian heritage in their unhurried picking and Celtic-tinged melodies, and she sings with the centered clarity of a mountain balladeer. But her songs aren’t necessarily traditionalist. She also invokes another school of American and British acoustic music: the guitar meditations of musicians like John Fahey, Davy Graham and Vashti Bunyan, who found more hypnotic uses for elements of folk styles. Although Ms. Shelley leads a full band on her albums, at Union Pool, her backup was ample with just two acoustic guitars — her own and Nathan Salsburg’s — and the occasional vocal harmonies of Glen Dentinger. A few cyclical, undulating, fingerpicked chords were enough for each song, with Ms. Shelley pinpointing the rhythm and Mr. Salsburg entwining it with touches of filigree. Mr. Salsburg, also from Louisville, had started the evening with guitar instrumentals (including a folkified version of the Smiths’ “Reel Around the Fountain”); Nathan Bowles, a banjoist and singer who also shared the bill, joined Ms. Shelley’s group for one song.

Question: What kinds of abuse did Mr. Yu claim he suffered?

In an interview last month, he described weeks of abuse, including sleep deprivation and being tied to a metal chair for hours during questioning. At the time, he said, his interrogators wanted him to confess to having encouraged the pro-democracy demonstrations that shook Hong Kong last year. Mr. Yu said he refused to concede to their demands, and he was later released without charge. He said the police warned him, however, against speaking about his time in custody.

Question: Who founded Business Insider?

So let’s talk about our business, the media! This week Business Insider, the scrappy tech- and finance-focused digital publication founded by the former stock analyst Henry Blodget, was sold to the German media company Axel Springer for $343 million. It was just one of many dump trucks full of money pulling up to the digital media business. BuzzFeed and Vox recently each announced that they had raised $200 million from NBC Universal. Vice has also raised a boatload. So is this all great news? Should I start shopping for a McMansion?

Question: What does the government's export credit agency do?

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

Marcelo Aguirre, a paramedic in Newark and suburban New Jersey. He owns an AR-15, a 9-millimeter and a shotgun, but the only thing he shoots on the night shift is <hl> his camera <hl>. He works nights so he can study days; he wants to be a doctor. Nights are good preparation for that: You get more serious cases. You learn on the job. A 12-hour course each night you’re on. Twenty-four hours if you take a double. After a while, the adrenaline that juices you when you’re new — when you’re still keeping a tally of the lives you’ve saved — disappears. You just do the job. “High speed and low drag,” Aguirre told me when I called. “Please ignore the siren,” he said. “We’re going to a call.” A stroke. Nothing to get excited about. Coffee sustains him. He stays clean. Some guys, he said, use Provigil, but that’s prescribed. “For shift-work disorder,” he said.

Question: Who is Ahmad Chalabi?

Ms. Chalabi, a daughter of Ahmad Chalabi, the onetime United States-backed Iraqi opposition leader, said her foundation asked to represent Iraq again after organizing the last pavilion, in 2013. The government gave approval and curatorial “carte blanche,” she said, but no money. The foundation chose Philippe Van Cauteren, artistic director of the S.M.A.K. contemporary art museum in Ghent, Belgium, to put together the exhibition, and funded it with 600,000 euros (about $675,000) from private Iraqi companies and individuals.

Question: What is Ted's hobby?

9 P.M. (CUNY) WALLANDER: THE TRICKSTERS When a stable owner is found lifeless in his barn, Inspector Kurt Wallander (Krister Henriksson) is at a loss for suspects, since the man seemingly had no friends, no social life and no enemies.

What’s Streaming Now  THE BOY (2015) In the summer of 1989, a 9-year-old named Ted (Jared Breeze) is living with his father (David Morse) in a crumbling resort in the American West and collecting roadkill, whose demise he arranges for by depositing garbage on the highway.

Question: Who did the dissident group Pussy Riot protest?

As international attention to the women’s case mounts, some rights advocates see echoes of the public relations maelstrom surrounding the female Russian dissident group, Pussy Riot, whose members were arrested in 2012 for their protests against President Vladimir V. Putin. Sophie Richardson, the China director at Human Rights Watch, said the five jailed feminists have drawn far more international attention than the scores of Chinese activists who have been detained during the previous two years of an intensified government drive against political dissent.

Question: What upgrades are also included in newer router?

Not only can a newer router improve the speed and range for users, the routers typically have upgraded internal components and strong external antennas. Many also support the latest Wi-Fi standard — 802.11ac — which has top speeds that are nearly three times faster than the previous standard, 802.11n, for the fastest wireless devices you can buy today. Many smartphones, tablets and laptops released since 2013 support 802.11ac. But even older devices that support only the previous standard, 802.11n, can enjoy faster speeds at long range with a newer 802.11ac router.

Question: Who requested the report from the private group organizing Boston's bid for the 2024 Summer Olympics?

But when the teacher looked at it, much of the assignment had not been completed. That was the anticlimactic feeling here Monday, when Boston 2024, the private group organizing the city’s bid to host the 2024 Summer Olympics, put out a much-anticipated report that Gov. Charlie Baker of Massachusetts had asked for by Tuesday. Boston 2024 held a briefing for boosters and the news media Monday morning at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center. It gave out gorgeously produced briefing materials, and officials later briefed the governor.

Question: Who was the president of Rolling Stone during this period?

The plan in the magazine’s 1970s heyday, said Joe Armstrong, its publisher and president during that period, “was to build Time-Life, do what Henry Luce did, but for a younger generation.” Rolling Stone was breaking new ground, and printing things others would not print, he said. “We were covering rock ’n’ roll music when your parents liked orchestra music,” he said. “We were against the war in Vietnam, and everybody over 30 was for it. We were covering the drug culture. Nobody else was doing it.” Tom Wolfe published his novel “The Bonfire of the Vanities” in installments in the magazine. The photographer Annie Leibovitz became a star there. Richard Avedon traveled the country to shoot dozens of portraits of the people he felt ran America, a collection now with the Metropolitan Museum of Art. And Mr. Thompson made his own style of gonzo journalism. Rolling Stone has gone through tumultuous periods before, said Robert Draper, the author of “Rolling Stone Magazine: The Uncensored History.” It has survived internal strife, often surrounding the mercurial Mr. Wenner, questions about its finances and the threat of MTV, which many thought would end it.

Question: Who studies the financial factors of preventive care?

There’s also the unavoidable fact that every time you prevent people from dying from one disease, they are likely to live longer and incur future medical expenses. The patient who benefits from the cholesterol screening may go on to develop cancer, arthritis, Alzheimer’s or some other costly illness. There are some prevention measures that actually do seem to save money. Counseling on contraception is one because the costs of prenatal care, delivery and pediatric care associated with an unplanned pregnancy are so substantial. But a lot of the preventive health measures that we tend to value a lot — mammography, screening for diabetes — tend to cost more than they save. Researchers like Mr. Cohen, who study these trade-offs, say we need to think more broadly about the value of what our preventive spending buys, not the narrow question of whether it saves money.

Question: Who did Mr. Courser claim to be caught with in the phony email?

Mr. Courser, 43, of Lapeer in the Thumb region of Michigan, admitted sending an “outlandish” phony email to Republican activists and others in May claiming he had been caught with a male prostitute. The email was intended to make his affair with Ms. Gamrat, 42, appear less believable if it was exposed by an anonymous blackmailer who Mr. Courser said had demanded his resignation. On Thursday, a special House committee recommended the expulsion of both the first-year Tea Party lawmakers, who had based legislation on their Christian beliefs and had clashed with Republican leadership even before the controversy broke. But the full chamber then deadlocked for hours, as more than two dozen Democrats refused to vote.

Question: Who were left by her puzzling action?

Instead, investigators, commuters and even people close to her were left to try to make sense of her puzzling actions. Friends and family members of the passengers who died grappled on Thursday with the question of why her car never moved off the tracks, and why the third rail tore through the first passenger car. The crossing was reopened to cars and trains on Thursday, but people remained wary. Drivers paused after they ascended the slight hill toward the crossing, taking a second look down the tracks before they passed.

Question: What night did the protests start?

But the grand jury could not finish in time, the St. Louis County prosecutor, Robert P. McCulloch, told a law school audience here on Friday. Instead, it finished its work on a Monday and its decision to not indict the police officer was announced that evening. Protests followed that night, leading to looting and arson that left Ferguson’s downtown devastated. Speaking to a symposium on Ferguson at the St. Louis University School of Law, Mr. McCulloch defended the timing of the announcement, along with his handling of the grand jury, which was widely criticized in the days after the rioting.

Question: What country had sanctions imposed on it?

The United States expanded sanctions targeting North Korea on Tuesday, imposing economic penalties on six of its international banking representatives and three of its shipping companies for what the Treasury Department called ties to illicit arms proliferation and financing.

Question: Who dropped the pass from Eli Manning?

Beckham’s actions may have been motivated, in part, by frustration with Norman’s smothering defense and his own failings. A minute and a half into the game, Beckham was clear with the end zone in sight, but he dropped a pass from Manning. But Beckham was the key to the final Giants drive, beating Norman for a touchdown to cap a comeback and tie the score at 35-35 with 1 minute 46 seconds left.
