Question: Who is the director of the American Tap Dance Foundation?

This week, Tony Waag, the perpetually cheerful director of the American Tap Dance Foundation, presides over Tap City, a festival now in its 15th year. On Wednesday in “Tap Forward,” a program highlighting contemporary tappers at the intimate Duke on 42nd Street, there was even a flash from the past: The veteran Brenda Bufalino showed off her polished finish as she quietly blended in and out of a groove in “Strayhorn Medley.” Several “Tap Forward” offerings, despite the progressive-sounding title, ran toward the conservative. When Mr. Waag’s lineup did step out of the box, as with “Shiva’s Dance Yoga,” a kathak performance by Rachna Nivas, who sang, played the finger symbols and danced, the inclusion felt random — it wasn’t tap — and her execution uneven. There were musical theater numbers with pasted-on smiles, and a sand dance in Susan Hebach’s “Nica’s Dream,” in which performers shuffle their feet on grains of sand. Here, three sand dancers were accompanied by four tap dancers; but they needed more variety, not backup dancers.

Question: Who won the match between Nishikori and Wawrinka?

Nishikori trailed by 6-1 in the third-set tiebreaker before he saved five consecutive match points to level the score at 6-6, sending the resigned crowd into unlikely excitement. But with Wawrinka pinned behind the baseline on the next point, an attempted drop shot by Nishikori hit the bottom of the net tape and slid down onto his side of the court, sending his coach, Michael Chang, similarly slumping into his seat. The error gave Wawrinka a sixth match point, which he converted with an ace for a spot in the semifinals.

Question: How many people signed the petition started by Rachael Melhuish?

The petition was initiated on Friday by Rachael Melhuish, women’s officer at the Cardiff University Students’ Union. The petition states that Ms. Greer has “demonstrated time and time again her misogynistic views towards trans women, including continually ‘misgendering’ trans women and denying the existence of transphobia altogether.” The petition had received about 880 signatures by noon on Saturday. The campaign appeared to take Ms. Greer by surprise. “I don’t really know what I think of it,” she told The Guardian. “What they are saying is that because I don’t think surgery will turn a man into a woman I should not be allowed to speak anywhere.” She called the petition “a bit of a put-up job” because she was not even going to talk about the issue in her lecture on Nov. 18, titled “Women & Power: The Lessons of the 20th Century.” The issue is broader, she said: “I do not know why universities cannot hear unpopular views and think about what they mean.” Cardiff University said it had no plans to cancel Ms. Greer’s lecture. In a statement, the university’s vice chancellor, Colin Riordan, said, “Our events include speakers with a range of views, all of which are rigorously challenged and debated.”

Question: Over what time frame were the units of affordable housing to be delivered?

Mayor Bill de Blasio is calling for an overhaul of housing programs and tax incentives to spur the construction of tens of thousands of apartments for poor New Yorkers, as well as teachers, firefighters and other workers, who increasingly find themselves priced out of a booming real estate market and rapidly gentrifying neighborhoods. The proposals, which would require approval by the State Legislature, are central to the mayor’s promise to build or preserve 200,000 units of affordable housing over 10 years.

Question: Over what period of time was Mr. Heastie able to establish himself as a presence?

Ms. Miner noted that she had spoken to Mr. Heastie many times in the past; Mr. Heastie served for 14 years in the Assembly before becoming speaker.

Question: When did the star pianist present Appassionata?

On Tuesday evening, this star pianist presented an uncommonly introspective solo recital built around Beethoven’s “Appassionata” Sonata and selections of Spanish music. On Friday he will repeat the program. Mr. Kissin is the first pianist at Carnegie since Vladimir Horowitz in 1979 to double up like this on a solo recital, and his ability to draw big crowds, with additional seats set up behind him onstage, proves the depth of the public’s craving for his blend of technical mastery and eloquent artistry.

Question: Where was last years Art Basel held?

The video, 1 minute 3 seconds and set in Boca Raton, Fla., features a gender-bending character in a variety of poses: drinking Red Bull in a pink velour zip-up jacket on the beach, sitting on a sofa in a high-rise condo, doing dance moves while dressed in a floral midriff top. The soundtrack includes conversational snippets overheard by the artist at last year’s Art Basel in Miami Beach, including “She’s so talented, she’s a real artist,” and “Listen, if you are on the wait list, that means you are in the liminal zone between being no one and actually being someone.”

Question: Except for Africa and Europe, where else is China exporting lower in prices than Turkey?

Mr. Firat at the foreign ministry said that the Syrian refugees had caused resentment in some places, but also made cheap labor available that might help some businesses stay competitive. Eskisehir’s economic difficulties, and Turkey’s, go beyond coping with migrants or an interruption in tourism. Many emerging markets are facing difficulties with the slowdown in global trade, Turkey among them. Turkey has long depended on exporting manufactured goods to Europe and the Middle East, two regions where demand is weak right now. That is partly because of geopolitics and partly because Chinese industries with overcapacity at home have been exporting at low prices to Turkey’s longtime markets in the Middle East, Europe and Africa.

Question: Who is a lawyer for Spokeo?

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: 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 was still on the cubs?

Two cubs from the ice age were recently uncovered in the Siberian Arctic, perfectly frozen in the permafrost. Named Uyan and Dina after the Uyandina river where they were recovered, the cubs still had their fur and whiskers. “It’s the first time in history that a cave lion, although it is a cub and not a grown-up animal, was found with all the fur, internal organs and soft parts of the body so well-preserved,” Valery Plotnikov, a researcher at the regional Academy of Sciences, said to The Associated Press. Cave lions, the prehistoric relative of modern-day lions, are believed to have become extinct about 10,000 years ago.

Question: What came of the 2008 financial crisis?

The Wall Street lawyer H. Rodgin Cohen hit a sour regulatory note this week. Mr. Cohen, Sullivan & Cromwell’s top bank advocate, thinks watchdogs have gone overboard to prove they’re not captured by the industry. That may resonate with many in Congress, where a bill to blunt the work of bank examiners is making the rounds. But the 2008 financial crisis exposed the necessity of more robust oversight. Although firms overstate the pain, room remains to ensure that regulators are constructive, rather than overzealous.

Question: Who showed up at Daru's schoolhouse on horseback with an Arab prisoner on foot?

One day, a gendarme, Balducci (Vincent Martin), rides up on horseback to Daru’s schoolhouse with an Arab prisoner, Mohamed (Reda Kateb), on foot. Balducci explains that the prisoner, who’s never named in the Camus story, has cut the throat of a cousin (“like a sheep”) and now Daru needs to take Mohamed to another town for some French justice and certain death. Daru refuses, but when Balducci rides off, the teacher is left with Mohamed and a quandary. After giving Mohamed dinner and a bed, and after a restive night with a gun by his side, Daru wakes to tell Mohamed that he can leave of his own accord. This seems as if it should be an easy call, but Daru’s assumptions about free will don’t pan out. Mohamed refuses to flee.

Question: What kind of windows are in the living room area?

The three-story house was updated over the last 15 years. It has a gambrel roof, a white clapboard exterior and an exposed stone base. A gentle C shape, it faces south, and bends around a patio and pool. The entrance is through a glassed-in porch whose windows have the original copper hardware and open to screens. Other original features include maple floors and raised wall paneling, which contrast with Sputnik-style light fixtures. The floor plan is open, with a broad bay of floor-to-ceiling windows in the living area, which has a fireplace. Intersecting walls of windows in the informal dining room area face the pool and patio. There is also a formal dining area. The kitchen was updated during renovations with a Sub-Zero refrigerator, a Miele range, a Jenn-Air oven and quartz countertops. A bar with a separate sink is just off the kitchen. Four bedrooms are on the second floor, including the master, which is part of a suite with a bathroom and a walk-in closet with a picture window overlooking the pool. The remaining two bedrooms are on the third floor, built into the eaves, with pitched ceilings. The basement is finished with wood-paneled walls, a fireplace and a wet bar.

The Rams, as well as the Raiders and the Chargers, have been in contact with the league about their plans, but the league will begin a formal review of their proposals only if one or more of the teams applies to relocate. “We’re spending time on any site which could conceivably host a team, but we spend more time as the probability increases,” Grubman said. “Now that the Inglewood site is entitled and Carson is along that process, we’re spending more time looking at them.” Russ Stanton, a spokesman for Kroenke and Stockbridge Capital Group, which proposed the stadium in Inglewood, declined to comment on the findings of the reports. Michael Roth, a spokesman for AEG, declined to comment on why the company commissioned the reports.

Question: What animal shot in Laos was included in the first episode?

Was that venerable PBS venturing into the lowbrow world of veterinary television this week? Yes, it was, and Dr. Jeff should take a lesson. A three-part series called “Operation Wild,” which began on Wednesday on PBS, brings us stirring stories of veterinary teams around the globe engaged in unusual high-tech efforts to save sick or injured wild animals. The methods employed are often adapted from human medical care. The opening episode included the stories of an elephant in Laos that had been shot in the leg, a gorilla at a wildlife sanctuary in Cameroon with a damaged wrist, and an annual kite-flying festival in India that leaves hundreds of birds injured by the kite strings. Next week’s installment offers efforts to give a rhinoceros a skin graft and to restore the sight of an orangutan.

Question: Who is facing time in a supermax penitentiary?

The government and defense have been locked in increasingly intense battles, some voiced through objections in court, others occurring out of earshot of the jury and the news media; the contents of some of those have been made available later through transcripts. The only testimony Thursday concerned the conditions that Mr. Tsarnaev would face in the supermax penitentiary in Colorado, sometimes called the ADX, where he is likely to go if the jury sentenced him to life in prison. William Weinreb, the lead prosecutor, told the judge in a sidebar that the prison conditions that Mr. Tsarnaev would face might be the most crucial factor weighed by the jury. “The jury cares a lot about this,” Mr. Weinreb said, according to a transcript. “We’re talking about maybe the most important thing for them.”

Question: what was the cause of the depression of 70 million people?

There was no immediate reaction from Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran’s supreme leader, or from his office. The ayatollah, who has the final word on the deal, has often stated that he trusts Iran’s negotiators to make decisions, but warned them not to cross “red lines.” Many in Iran have spent the past week following the news, but also expressing doubt that there would ever be a solution. The sanctions have cut deeply into the lives of ordinary people, contributing to an inflation rate that has exceeded 40 percent, slashing buying power and generally casting a blanket of depression over the nation of 70 million. As the idea of a future without sanctions started to sink in, some became emotional.

Question: Who ran into Lockette?

It made all the difference. Butler, a reserve cornerback and undrafted rookie who was understandably convinced he would be the goat after Kearse had played pinball wizard at his expense, turned out to be quite the contrary. This was not by chance. He recognized an opportunity and made it happen, correctly reading the pick play and slant route the Seahawks were counting on and beating Ricardo Lockette to the ball as he and Lockette collided. It was the first interception of Butler’s N.F.L. career.

Question: What is the campaign called where the company posts videos of women stating how much selling Tupperware has changed their lives for the better.

For some women who choose to join the salesteam, the company has provided a way out of poverty — about half the population lives on less than $2 a day — and prescribed social roles. Although women are increasingly joining the work force, the Indonesian government and religious groups have for decades pushed traditional values in which the primary roles of women are as wives and mothers. The country’s 1974 Marriage Law states that the husband is the head of the family and the wife is the caretaker. As it has done in other emerging markets, Tupperware encouraged women to move past any insecurities about taking on a new role. The company has a campaign called “Chain of Confidence,” in which it posts video interviews of saleswomen talking about how their lives have changed for the better. The company also has an inspirational campaign for Indonesia, “Tupperware She Can,” that also posts aspirational videos. “Everyone talks about how the dynamism of Asia is the emerging middle class, and the emerging middle class is driven by women who previously didn’t have the opportunity,” said Rick Goings, global chairman and chief executive of Tupperware Brands Corporation. “I’m not saying men didn’t work hard, but there’s a new opportunity for women in Asia.” Upi Hariwati is one of the Indonesian women who has seized the opportunity. Four years ago, the 39-year-old wife and mother of a young son began looking for solutions after growing tired of her family’s living paycheck to paycheck from her husband’s job.

Question: What is a second measure being considered by the FDA to address the concern with duodenoscopes?

The F.D.A. is investigating numerous additional measures, such as sterilizing the devices with toxic gas or sampling them for microbiological cultures periodically. Ronald Reagan U.C.L.A. Medical Center and Advocate Lutheran General Hospital have begun sterilizing their instruments with a gas called ethylene oxide. Neither has had additional cases of CRE since instituting the procedure. At the moment, however, the F.D.A. is not willing to recommend ethylene oxide sterilization on a routine basis. “This agent itself could potentially be quite toxic, not only if not thoroughly aired afterward but in the longer term to people doing the cleaning,” Dr. Ostroff said.

Question: What are nymphs known for?

Technically, they’re demons, but they’re also fantastical fun, as are many of Buddhism’s supporting players, with their folk-art additives. These include guardian ogres with faces like pugs with tusks and nymphs with half-bird, half human bodies who, with a pretty dance and a flutter of stained-glass wings, bid you goodbye at the end of the show. But before you leave, there are a couple of things worth an extra look. One, in a case between the two nymphs, is a 17th-century gilded bronze image of the seated Buddha. With his short neck, cool shape-up haircut, plain off-the-shoulder robe, and round face bent forward and down, he’s as close as any Myanmar work here comes to embodying a Buddhist physical ideal.

Question: What is the subsidiary Zexi No.1 fund works with?

Although the Shanghai composite index has risen less than 3 percent so far this year, the Zexi No. 1 Fund, which works with a subsidiary of the state-owned conglomerate China Resources, gained 323 percent through Friday; it has risen 3,270 percent since its inception in 2010. The Zexi No. 3 Fund has gained 382 percent this year and 3,945 percent since 2010, according to figures on the company’s website, which were obtained before it was taken down late Monday morning. The firm’s performance was the subject of intense market speculation in September, when a post on social media accused the company of manipulation. It focused on an unprofitable clothing retailer that reached a market high this summer despite the market volatility.

Question: What sort of games did Ms. Kushner plan?

“I really loved the idea of a healthy weekend: high-end, but low-fat cuisine, fitness classes, treatments,” Ms. Kushner said. The event coordinator planned nostalgic playground games (ring toss, jumping rope) in a lighthearted but competitive style. “My friends were so surprised by how much fun they had,” she said. The notion that Big Brother is watching from the web, along with the eyes of corporate America, is a reality that is also bearing down on millennials and others who are holding down jobs and are expected to perform in them. As enticing and addictive as Facebook and Instagram have become, there’s also a pushback from those wanting to remain faceless and nameless. For these folks, being caught in compromising photographs in a posting on someone’s page that they didn’t O.K. is no longer acceptable.

Question: what do some democrats object to in the compromise bill?

WASHINGTON —  The deal is as politically remarkable as it is substantive: a long-term plan to finance health care for older Americans, pay doctors who accept Medicare and extend popular health care programs for children and the poor. It was cobbled together by none other than House Speaker John A. Boehner and Representative Nancy Pelosi, the leader of House Democrats, who rarely agree on anything, with the apparent blessing of a majority of their respective members. Then along came a surprising impediment: Senator Harry Reid of Nevada, the minority leader, along with other Senate Democrats, objected to abortion restrictions in the bill and limits to an extension of a health insurance program for children. They have begun to undermine what was poised to be a sweeping bipartisan solution to several policy problems that have long vexed Congress. It is a role in which Mr. Reid is becoming increasingly comfortable as he exploits his leverage in the minority to thwart his political opponents, even if that means an unusual split with Ms. Pelosi.

Question: What has Iran been allowed to keep a large amount of?

Your claim that the negotiations place tough constraints on Iran rings hollow, based on the permissibility of Iran’s keeping its nuclear installations and the large number of centrifuges still allowed. Furthermore, a 10-year limit to an agreement makes it almost worthless. ANTHONY WINSTON East Brunswick, N.J. To the Editor: As a Democrat who supports Israel, I am saddened and dismayed that its prime minister would use the podium of one of our most hallowed political institutions to bad-mouth a deal that has not even been struck. With friends like that, who needs enemies?

Question: What college did Keflexghi go to?

“I’m here to compete,” Keflezighi said. “Goal No. 1 is to try to win” or get a high placement. Barring that, his finishing time could be a kind of golden parachute, allowing a gentle, somewhat satisfactory landing. Seven of his nine marathons in New York have finished under the current masters record. What is his secret to staying competitive for so long? There are many theories. Keflezighi has kept the same coach, Bob Larsen, since his college days at U.C.L.A. He remains committed to the mundane routines of stretching and strength work. Training for so many years at altitude in Mammoth Lakes, Calif., much of it on soft surfaces, has perhaps prolonged Keflezighi’s career, Larsen said, forcing him to restrict the intensity of his training while still providing him the cardiovascular benefits.

Question: Who started off the 9th inning by hitting a single?

“It’s different,” Harvey said of the extra rest. He added: “Dealing with it is something you have to do. I don’t think I did a very good job of that. I think we’re all excited to go back to a five-day rotation. It is what it is.” The Mets’ offense did not help Harvey much; Hamels held them to one run and four hits in seven innings. But Harvey did not help himself. He came to bat in the fourth inning, with two outs and the bases loaded, and he struck out swinging. In the third, with Dilson Herrera on second and nobody out, Harvey struck out trying to lay down a sacrifice bunt. Over the final five innings, the Mets managed to reach base only twice. In the ninth, Daniel Murphy, another Rangers fan, led off with a single. The Mets did not show any more fight. Jonathan Papelbon, the Phillies’ closer, retired the next three batters in order, striking out Lucas Duda and Kevin Plawecki, and getting Herrera to fly out easily to end the game.

I think we’re all excited to go back to a five-day rotation. It is what it is.” The Mets’ offense did not help Harvey much; Hamels held them to one run and four hits in seven innings. But Harvey did not help himself. He came to bat in the fourth inning, with two outs and the bases loaded, and he struck out swinging. In the third, with Dilson Herrera on second and nobody out, Harvey struck out trying to lay down a sacrifice bunt. Over the final five innings, the Mets managed to reach base only twice. In the ninth, <hl> Daniel Murphy <hl>, another Rangers fan, led off with a single. The Mets did not show any more fight. Jonathan Papelbon, the Phillies’ closer, retired the next three batters in order, striking out Lucas Duda and Kevin Plawecki, and getting Herrera to fly out easily to end the game.

Question: What city did the third trial take place in?

Fourteen years after four men were convicted in a trial stemming from the deadly 1998 bombings of two United States Embassies in East Africa, a third trial in that attack began in Manhattan on Thursday. The defendant, Khaled al-Fawwaz, is one of the earliest and most senior alleged members of Al Qaeda to be tried in the United States. In an opening statement at the trial, a federal prosecutor, Nicholas J. Lewin, depicted Mr. Fawwaz as a loyal and trusted operative who had worked for Osama bin Laden in the 1990s when Al Qaeda was a small, tight-knit group.

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: Due to Facebook's algorithm and user's deleting friends with differing opinions what sort of environment is being created on the platform?

With the presidential race heating up, a torrent of politically charged commentary has flooded Facebook, the world’s largest social networking site, with some users deploying their “unfollow” buttons like a television remote to silence distasteful political views. Coupled with the algorithm now powering Facebook’s news feed, the unfollowing is creating a more homogenized political experience of like-minded users, resulting in the kind of polarization more often associated with MSNBC or Fox News. And it may ultimately deflate a central promise of the Internet: Instead of offering people a diverse marketplace of challenging ideas, the web is becoming just another self-perpetuating echo chamber.

Question: What will happen to those that play well?

“We never know what a coaching change is going to do,” Rutherford said. Sullivan hit all the right notes during his first couple of days on the job. “We create an environment here that we inspire people to play,” he said.And if they don’t, Sullivan insists they will sit regardless of pedigree. “Those that play well will be rewarded with more play,” Sullivan said.

Question: Where was there first solo show located?

“She has this extraordinary talent for distilling form, landscape, abstraction and color,” Mr. Kelly said. “Her palette is very unusual. It has a lot to do with that great tradition of Belgian Northern European artists dealing with a quality of light.” So he decided to give the artist her first solo show in the United States, traveling to Belgium recently to choose the paintings and watercolors for the exhibition, which opens Jan. 8 at his 10th Avenue gallery. “It’s impossible to separate Ilse D’Hollander’s work from her personality,” Eric Rinckhout wrote in an essay. “She withdrew into her work as into a house, to seek the rest, order and control she could not find in her head at times.”

Question: What was the political leaning of Mr. Drobny's talk network?

Even more important, according to Mr. Rodham, was what he said was going to be Mr. Clinton’s help on his Haiti rebuilding project. That project came about when Sheldon Drobny, an old friend, contacted Mr. Rodham about making a connection for a Chicago-area contractor, who wanted to become involved in building houses in Haiti. “We were trying to help. 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 team drafted Porzingis where he became known as a great athlete and hero?

It was during his time in Spain that Porzingis developed the mechanics of his game and caught the attention of N.B.A. executives and scouts, many of whom flocked to watch him on the European circuit and came away impressed by his shooting and mobility.

Question: Who lead researchers at Yale and studied the environment in 150 countries?

You would never know that in many parts of the world, like the United States, the rivers and skies are getting cleaner. The race for riches, ironically, produces the wealth that can be used to clean the environment. A few years ago, a team of researchers led by Daniel Esty of Yale looked at the environmental health of 150 countries. The nations with higher income per capita had better environmental ratings. As countries get richer they invest to tackle environmental problems that directly kill human beings (though they don’t necessarily tackle problems that despoil the natural commons). You would never suspect, from this encyclical, that over the last decade, one of the most castigated industries has, ironically, produced some of the most important economic and environmental gains. I’m talking of course about fracking.
