Question: What was the name of the American trainer

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: Which rail tore through the first passenger car?

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.

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: How many points did Evan Turner score for the Celtics?

LAKERS 112, CELTICS 104 Kobe Bryant had 15 points and 11 rebounds for his first double-double of the season while playing what was most likely his final game in Boston. Isaiah Thomas had 24 points, and Evan Turner scored 20 for the Celtics, who had won four straight. Boston trailed by 11 with just over six minutes left but used a 9-0 run to close to 100-98 on Avery Bradley’s dunk with 3:35 to go. It remained a 2-point game until Bryant hit his second 3-pointer of the quarter, making it 107-102 with 1:40 left. Bryant received a huge ovation when he was announced for the starting lineups, but he was jeered the first time he got the ball, a nod to his role in what is perhaps the league’s best rivalry.

Question: The urban bustle within the movie appears to be close to what?

“Songs From the Second Floor” (released here in 2002) remains Mr. Andersson’s comic masterpiece. It’s a pure and bizarre piece of millennial art, set amid perpetual traffic jams at some apocalyptic turning point. It loosely tracks a businessman who has burned down his own shop, but it also looks in on his insane son and others. The end of days looms — Mr. Andersson makes jokes about get-rich-quick crucifix salesmen — and over-the-top doomsday sights appear, like self-flagellating crowds, the dead rising and even a sacrificial rite. The “hyperreality,” as Mr. Andersson called it, makes for a forceful visual effect that is unforgettable. The same can be said of “You, the Living,” where the overarching conceit involves dreams being recounted for the camera and then dramatized. The filmmaker’s signature style is in effect, but occasional songs are added as in a musical. “Pigeon” takes another step away from reality with bewildering jumps between periods in Swedish history: One episode has the country’s 18th-century king riding into a modern bar to find a toilet.

Question: How much did the Lobster Maxime cost?

Our server pushed the $56 Lobster Maxime, calling it a signature entree and promising meat out of the shell from a one-and-a-half-pound lobster. What arrived, however — four morsels on a mound of sautéed spinach — was minuscule at best. To Orama’s credit, when I inquired about the skimpy portion, the manager offered to send us another dish with her compliments. The sea bass turned out to be the only worthwhile entree that evening. A 16-ounce bone-in filet mignon, one of Orama’s specialties, had too much visible fat to justify the $64 cost, and the rack of lamb special, while tender, lacked flavor.

Question: Who are the world powers?

Speaking at a news conference to recognize the second anniversary of his election, Mr. Rouhani dismissed reports that Iranians would have to wait more than a few months for the lifting of sanctions, which have crippled Iran’s economy. Asked whether the wait for relief could be as long as a year, he said, “A one-year difference is totally untrue.” “It might be one month,” he added. “We are still discussing.” In the coming weeks, Iran and the world powers — the United States, Russia, France, Britain, China and Germany — will intensify talks that can lead either to a breakthrough deal on Iran’s nuclear program or a more remote possibility, the end of negotiations. In recent months, Iranian leaders have insisted that if they need more time to reach a deal, the talks should continue beyond the June 30 deadline.

Question: What bank helped push the euro to its lowest level against the dollar since 2010?

FRANKFURT — A strong indication on Friday that the European Central Bank is on the verge of aggressive action to stimulate the economy, just as the Federal Reserve is dialing back its stimulus, helped push the euro to its lowest level against the dollar since 2010. Mario Draghi, the president of the European Central Bank, said in an interview published in the German newspaper Handelsblatt that the risk that the central bank would not be able to meet its main task of keeping inflation from being too low or too high was greater than it had been six months ago. At 0.3 percent in November, inflation in the eurozone was far below the central bank’s official target of close to 2 percent. Investors interpreted Mr. Draghi’s comments to mean that the central bank is moving closer to broad-based purchases of government bonds, the same kind of “quantitative easing” that the Fed used to push down market interest rates in the United States — and is phasing out as growth picks up.

Question: Which terminal was a Port Authority police officer summoned to?

“She said it was growling and stuff like that, but maybe they do that all the time, walk around and make noise,” Mike Miller, executive director of the conservation center, said. A wildlife officer and a Port Authority police officer were summoned to Terminal C. The cage was carefully placed in a transport van, Mr. Pentangelo said, “just to add another level of security, so that the wolverine wasn’t a threat to himself or the public.” A new, uncompromised cage was procured from the Bronx Zoo, as was a wild animal veterinarian. The cages were put face to face and Kasper was encouraged to walk into the new one. “He balked,” Mr. Pentangelo said. “He did not want to go. He made it very clear.” The veterinarian administered a shot of ketamine, a tranquilizer. Kasper dropped off to sleep. The cage transfer was accomplished. And after an overnight stay at Terminal C, Kasper resumed his journey. Kristiansand Zoo in Norway, which had sent Kasper, was closed on Wednesday evening when a reporter called, and no one there could be reached.

Question: How much does Google have in the bank?

Venture capitalists are funding new search start-ups that treat information and the web as legacy products and that focus on actions and apps instead. And while Google, with $65 billion in the bank, can buy any start-up it likes, one company it cannot buy — Apple — is also joining the mobile search fray. On Thursday, Apple released an early, or “beta,” version of the next version of its iOS mobile software, giving iPhone and iPad users the ability to tap Apple’s own search engine for searches of music, apps and local services — allowing them to potentially bypass Google.

Question: In "Notations" he composed a set of what?

ANTHONY CHEUNG, composer and pianist: I don’t immediately prostrate myself at his altar. It’s an ambivalent relationship. But as far as respect for him as a musician and what he’s done, I have infinite respect. He’s an enormous influence on how recent composers have dealt with instrumental groups. SALONEN I got to know him in the early ’80s when I worked quite a bit at IRCAM [an avant-garde music institute founded by Mr. Boulez] and was conducting his Ensemble InterContemporain. And it was the closest to Louis XIV I ever saw in my life. It was impressive and scary for a young person, but mostly impressive. I still think, if someone had to have that kind of power, why not him? AS A PIANO MASTER PIERRE-LAURENT AIMARD, pianist: The piano was his instrument, so he could experiment directly on it. In the “Notations,” we see a young composer, still a student, who composed a set of miniatures. And in many of them, we recognize what will become landmark gestures of Boulez, the basis of his language: violent lightenings illuminating the whole space of the instrument, permanently varied arpeggi, short unexpected gestures going in any direction.

Question: What is the address of the church?

“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: Why do people start looking into moving into Clinton Hill?

“We had a couple of nonnegotiable things — outdoor space and nothing smaller than 1,200 square feet,” Ms. Wenk said. After nine months of searching they pounced last year when they learned, through Joanna Mayfield Marks, an agent at Halstead Property, of a 1,500-square-foot condo with two terraces. The four-building complex had three units on the market late last month, ranging from a studio for $559,000 to a three-bedroom for $1.85 million, according to Andrew Booth, an associate broker at the Corcoran Group. The area has “definitely become a more popular neighborhood,” said Lea Fulton, an agent at the Ideal Properties Group. “People are coming in saying, ‘Hey, I’m interested in Clinton Hill,’ and before it was ‘I can’t afford Fort Greene anymore, so I guess I’ll look into Clinton Hill.’ ”

Question: How many wounded survivors were there in 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.

Answer: 11

Question: Where did I attend university?

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

Question: Who is the representative from Washington?

“There’s a number of members, male and female, who have young families now,” said Representative Cathy McMorris Rodgers of Washington, who has had three children since she was elected to Congress in 2004, and who serves on the House Republican leadership team. “Maybe it’s because Congress is getting younger and finding how to balance things. A conversation around that is healthy for the effectiveness of this institution.”

Question: What successful film did George Lucas make before "Star Wars"?

It might even be said that Mr. Canby was an original fanboy. His review began: “‘Star Wars,’ George Lucas’s first film since his terrifically successful ‘American Graffiti,’ is the movie that the teenagers in ‘American Graffiti’ would have broken their necks to see.” He described the film as “the most elaborate, most expensive, most beautiful movie serial ever made.” It was, he wrote, “both an apotheosis of ‘Flash Gordon’ serials and a witty critique that makes associations with a variety of literature that is nothing if not eclectic: ‘Quo Vadis?,’ ‘Buck Rogers,’ ‘Ivanhoe,’ ‘Superman,’ ‘The Wizard of Oz,’ ‘The Gospel According to St. Matthew,’ the legend of King Arthur and the knights of the Round Table.”

Question: What is the name of the person that was berated by the NYPD detective?

Matthew L. Wing, a spokesman for Uber, a ride-hailing service, said, “The behavior in the video is wrong and unacceptable, and we appreciate the N.Y.P.D. investigating the incident.” Michael J. Palladino, the president of the Detectives’ Endowment Association, the union for city police detectives, defended the detective, saying “cops are just like everyone else” with complicated lives. “Detective Cherry is a person of good character and an excellent detective,” he said. “He really should not be judged by one isolated incident.” In the video footage, apparently from an encounter in the West Village, Detective Cherry can be seen berating the driver, Humayun Chaudhry, while standing at the driver’s door.

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: Franis will travel the island and meet with whom?

Replacing the cardinal will be one of Francis’ most complicated and important tasks. He will travel throughout the island, meeting different bishops and church figures. It should allow him to make a personal evaluation of the next potential leader of the Cuban church, though analysts do not expect a decision soon. “There are not a lot of bishops in Cuba,” said Gianni La Bella, an expert in Latin American Catholicism and a member of the Community of Sant’Egidio, a liberal Catholic group active in international affairs. “It is not easy to choose the right man for the place.”

Question: What person has a crowded public life?

The person at whose expense Aveling generally made himself comfortable was, of course, Eleanor. Besotted throughout her time with him, she was yet often miserable. Aveling was selfish, nasty, petty, and three times out of five not there when she needed him; a hypochondriac of some dimension, he was forever going off to take “the cure” somewhere (really to rendezvous with other women), leaving Eleanor alone for weeks on end. As the years went on, the discrepancy between a crowded public life and a lonely personal one weighed ever more heavily on her.

Question: Where does Ms. Clyne currently live?

Ms. Clyne’s attention to craft across different media is all the more noteworthy because she started out as a composer of electronic music — an intangible art form. Ms. Clyne, who was born in London, spoke about her creative process during a recent interview over tea and McVitie’s biscuits in her sunlit apartment in Brooklyn. To avoid becoming bogged down in habit and “tendencies,” she seeks out conversations across disciplines — whether in collaboration with choreographers and visual artists or, as in the case of the “Night Ferry” collages, with her own inner painter. “It was like a timeline,” she said of the seven panels, which each represented three minutes of music. “I knew I wanted it to have a very turbulent beginning. I’d paint that, and then I’d write it. It would keep me on track.” The Miller program includes “Fits and Starts,” for solo cello and electronics, which she wrote for the choreographer Kitty McNamee and in which an increasingly lyrical and impassioned cello line coalesces out of skittish and distorted beginnings. In a phone interview, Ms. McNamee described Ms. Clyne’s musical language as “very visual,” adding: “It has incredible tension and release, which is very helpful to me. It has great shape to it.”

Question: What legislative branch of the United States government is this letter targeted towards?

Iran is a major regional power. Keeping it fully within the structures of the Nonproliferation Treaty is an important element in building the rule of law in a region that is being torn apart by national, religious and local conflict. We very much hope that our legislative colleagues in the United States Congress, in their deliberations on these issues, will bear in mind the multilateral nature of the agreement, the value of sustaining that coalition for its successful implementation, and the views that we have expressed. We trust also that they appreciate that these views are shared by a majority of the United States’ most loyal allies, including the members of the European Union and the European members of NATO.

Question: Where is the Neue Galerie located?

New York has just added another outstanding museum exhibition to its autumn roster, this one at the Neue Galerie. “Berlin Metropolis: 1918-1933” is an ambitious effort in a limited setting that successfully combines historical sweep, clockwork organization and an egalitarian approach to mediums. Its nearly 350 pieces — expertly shoehorned into six themed spaces — cover the cultural ferment of the fragile Weimar Republic, as it came to be known, which was sandwiched between the end of World War I and the onset of the Third Reich and was Germany’s first attempt at full democracy. The show is hardly definitive, yet it can feel that way because it creates such a poignant, specific view of the devastation of Hitler’s rise and rule: the array of potential cultural achievements destroyed by death, disruption and the shattering of a great city.

Question: What does the union advocate for?

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

Question: What percentage of the equipment was manufactured in the past decade?

For a moment, he twirled the rope in his hands like a lasso, then threw the hook over the wire, and tugged hard, testing for explosives. When nothing happened he signaled two comrades, who ran up and started snipping the wire with cutters. Although this was a typical training exercise for raw recruits in an elemental soldierly skill, there was nothing typical about the scene. Far from enlistees, these soldiers were regulars in the Ukrainian National Guard, presumably battle-hardened after months on the front lines in eastern Ukraine. And the trainer was an American military instructor, drilling troops for battle with the United States’ former Cold War foe, Russia, and Russian-backed separatists. “It’s been a long time since I heard a target called an Ivan,” First Sgt. David Dzwik, one of the trainers, said in an interview out in the sunny forest, while observing the Ukrainians run through drills. “Now, I’m hearing it again.” The course on cutting wire is one of 63 classes of remedial military instruction being provided by 300 United States Army trainers in three consecutive two-month courses. Here in western Ukraine, they are far from the fighting, and their job is to instill some basic military know-how in Ukrainian soldiers, who the trainers have discovered are woefully unprepared. The largely unschooled troops are learning such basic skills as how to use an encrypted walkie-talkie; how to break open a door with a sledgehammer and a crowbar; and how to drag a wounded colleague across a field while holding a rifle at the ready. When the war began a year ago, the Ukrainian Army was all but worthless — rife with corruption and Russian spies, and made up largely of “skeleton” battalions of officers with just a few men. About 1 percent of the equipment was manufactured in the past decade.

Question: The coach who is mentioned kept the locker room feeling positive over what period of time?

Players said Coughlin played a significant role this week in keeping despair out of the locker room. “He’s the same man every single day,” running back Rashad Jennings said. “Never budges, stays the course.” Eli Manning disagreed with the part about Coughlin always being on an even keel — “Sometimes he can get a little animated, and he’ll get fired up” — but he said the larger point was that Coughlin had seen enough slow starts to drive his teams through the darkness. “He challenged the team — that’s what great coaches do,” Manning said, adding, “You’ve got to find a way to push the guys without getting them down.”

Question: What did Americans find out about Ukrainians during training?

In the first two weeks of training, the Americans found the Ukrainians’ soldierly skills lacking, and the group generally in need of instruction. “I came into it expecting them not to know much of the basics,” said Sgt. Michael Faranda, who is teaching maneuvers. He was correct. Things “every soldier should know,” he said, they did not. Some even forgot their helmets on the first day of exercises. Still, Sergeant Faranda said, the Ukrainians’ willingness to go into combat was all the more notable for their lack of preparation for it.

Question: What charges did Mr. Disisto file in federal court?

Mr. Disisto has sued the Police Department and the city in federal court in Manhattan, charging he was the victim of a false arrest and malicious prosecution. “The officers attacked him and this is borne out entirely by the video evidence from the bar,” said David B. Rankin, a lawyer representing Mr. Disisto. “But for this video, Mr. Disisto likely would have been prosecuted.” The lawsuit also accuses the Police Department of having a “custom and practice” of making retaliatory arrests against people who photograph or videotape police activity. In legal papers, the city has denied that the Police Department has a policy or practice of retaliation for videotaping, said Nick Paolucci, a spokesman for the city’s Law Department.

Question: What did Madonna apologize for on Wednesday evening?

Madonna was perfectly turned out and running nearly an hour late for an interview at her Upper East Side home on Wednesday evening. She looked tense as she apologized. “I’m late for everything now,” she said. She added that she has been in a rush since December, when a hacker put unfinished songs online from her new album, “Rebel Heart”; a suspect has been indicted in Israel. Madonna’s immediate response was to release the finished, and much improved, versions of six songs for sale; they zoomed into the top 10 worldwide. She also worked frantically to finish the rest of the album, which arrives on Tuesday. It’s at once familiar — full of love, dancing, empowerment, blasphemy and raunch — and up-to-the-minute, made with a huge number of collaborators and tweaked by multiple hands under Madonna’s constant supervision. “I intended to think about things, choose things more slowly — the whole process,” she said. “Then I got forced into putting everything out, and now I’m trying to catch up with myself.”

Question: What is the name of the temporary visa program that is being misused by certain American companies?

To the Editor: Re “Special Visas Help Copycats Take U.S. Jobs” (front page, Sept. 30): American companies like Toys “R” Us are using the H-1B temporary visa program to take high-paying American jobs offshore in the name of growth and corporate resiliency. At the same time, conservative politicians oppose raising the minimum wage to livable levels with the argument that it will deprive Americans of their low-paying jobs. They also want to tighten immigration laws that bring foreign workers here to take jobs that most Americans don’t want, as in agriculture. Is this selective vision, moral hypocrisy or both?
