Question: Who were the victims of lone-wolf attacks in Jerusalem?

Mr. Shalabi’s lawyer, Tariq Bargouth, said the basis for the conviction and punishment never established that Mr. Shalabi’s posts had encouraged any specific militant attack. There have been a series of so-called lone-wolf attacks in Jerusalem, in which Palestinian men, without any political backing or leadership, attack Israeli civilians or security officers. Avner Pinchuk, a lawyer with the Association for Civil Rights in Israel, which follows freedom of speech cases, said it was the first time he had heard that “incitement to terror in social media concluded in jail.” Majd Kayyal, the media coordinator for Adalah, an organization that pursues the legal rights of Palestinians in Israel, accused security services of a double standard, saying they had not cracked down on Israeli Jews for incitement to violence online. He said his organization had tracked officials from the police and ambulance services who had encouraged violence against Palestinians on their Facebook pages, without punishment. Mr. Kayyal said he also feared government officials were using the word “incitement” too loosely, saying they had to “prove a relation between what was written, and an incident that happened in reality.”

Question: what does Poliuto confess

Severo finds out that Paolina has married, and in a secret meeting with him, she refuses to be unfaithful. Aided by Callistene, whose machinations drive much of the plot, Poliuto finds them and vows revenge. But when Callistene arrests Nearco, another Christian, Poliuto puts his faith before his love, and confesses his baptism. Visiting Poliuto in prison, Paolina urges him to recant. When Poliuto remains steadfast, she converts, too, following him to an unseen death in the arena. Does Paolina really mean it? Is her baptism a response to Severo’s return, or genuinely a matter of faith? Is Poliuto a political figure or a religious one, if the two could be separated? Using a new critical edition by the scholars William Ashbrook and Roger Parker that excises all the French accretions, Ms. Clément’s production tries to tease out these gray areas. But in a relentlessly monochrome production, she deals with politics weakly, vacillating between forcing the point and not making it at all.

Question: What kind of church is mentioned, in terms of its denomination?

After a newborn was abandoned by his mother and discovered in the crèche of a Roman Catholic church in Queens last month, calls and emails offering help poured into the parish and to New York City’s child welfare agency. Many people, including members of the church’s own congregation, asked whether they might be able to adopt the child. Officials from the agency, the Administration for Children’s Services, visited the church on Sunday to thank its parishioners for their part in rescuing the boy and to let them know he was healthy and being cared for in a foster home.

Question: Who softened his stance on the church in the early 1990s?

“Sooner or later you fall on one side or the other,” he added. “Ortega has shown us that he has a tendency to do that.” There have certainly been times when the church has challenged the government. In the early 1990s, after the fall of the Soviet Union, Fidel Castro, knowing that he needed new allies and new sources of money, began to soften his stance on the church. The move seemed to energize the church, which issued a statement in 1993 that sent waves through the Catholic community — and the government — in its calls for more openness to ideas outside of the state.

Question: Where was Porzingis when he caught the attention of N.B.A. executives and scouts?

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. Although Latvia has produced only a few basketball players who have played in the United States, the sport has had a following there since 1935, when the national team won the first-ever Eurobasket European championship. When Porzingis was drafted by the Knicks, he instantly became the country’s best-known athlete and a hero.

Question: the New York State Affordable Housing Association favors who's proposal for housing changes in New York?

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: On which day of the week did the members of the Vermont House and Senate elect their state governor?

But on Thursday, members of the Vermont House and Senate elected the state’s governor — by secret ballot. They chose Peter Shumlin, a Democrat, giving him his third two-year term. That’s right: 179 state legislators had the final say, not the 193,603 voters who cast ballots for governor in the Nov. 4 election. “Thank you all for making it possible for me to be able to give this speech today,” Mr. Shumlin told legislators a few hours later as he delivered his inaugural address in the House chamber. “Thank you from the bottom of my heart.” He had reason to be grateful. In November, Mr. Shumlin won only 46.4 percent of the vote, not the 50 percent required by the Vermont Constitution to claim victory outright. He was nearly toppled by Scott Milne, a little-known Republican businessman, who won 45.1 percent.

Question: what did silver predict for himself in court?

In an unusual arrangement, Mr. Silver would not quit his post. Instead, he would temporarily delegate his duties as speaker to a group of senior Assembly members. Under the plan, which the Assembly’s Democratic caucus is to consider in a closed-door meeting on Monday afternoon, Mr. Silver would “not specifically step down, but step back,” according to a person briefed on the situation, who insisted on anonymity because the plan had not yet been presented to the caucus. Immediately after Mr. Silver’s arrest on Thursday, Democrats in the Assembly rallied behind him. Mr. Silver, who has proved adept over the years at withstanding ethical and legal scrutiny, predicted he would be vindicated.

Question: If Exxon is prosecuted for hding data about climate change, what will the charge be?

But now the leading Republican presidential candidates, with a far bigger megaphone than Exxon ever had, are promoting the very junk science that was hatched, in part, in Exxon’s board room. As a global citizen, Exxon failed miserably, to say the least. A host of organizations, and some politicians have called for Exxon to be prosecuted for fraud not unlike that which tobacco companies engaged in when they hid the risks of smoking. Exxon argues that it was a climate change “pioneer” and didn’t so much deceive the public as stir a broader debate. At least it is now on record as stating the obvious: that climate change is real, and human-caused, and that something — perhaps beneficial to its corporate bottom line — needs to be done. The Republicans did not get the updated memo. Their two leading candidates for office, Ben Carson and Donald Trump, deny the consensus of human-caused climate change. They’re still reading from quarter-century-old Exxon talking points.

Answer: fraud

But now the leading Republican presidential candidates, with a far bigger megaphone than Exxon ever had, are promoting the very junk science that was hatched, in part, in Exxon’s board room. As a global citizen, Exxon failed miserably, to say the least. <hl> A host of organizations, and some politicians have called for Exxon to be prosecuted for fraud not unlike that which tobacco companies engaged in when they hid the risks of smoking. <hl> Exxon argues that it was a climate change “pioneer” and didn’t so much deceive the public as stir a broader debate. At least it is now on record as stating the obvious: that climate change is real, and human-caused, and that something — perhaps beneficial to its corporate bottom line — needs to be done. The Republicans did not get the updated memo. Their two leading candidates for office, Ben Carson and Donald Trump, deny the consensus of human-caused climate change. They’re still reading from quarter-century-old Exxon talking points.

Question: Who was on good terms with Darryl Dawkins?

Darryl Dawkins, who arrived in professional basketball as a gigantic teenager and became one of the game’s fiercest dunkers and most notoriously lovable characters, a backboard-smashing, referee-dissing, fun-loving manchild known to fans as Chocolate Thunder from Planet Lovetron, died on Thursday in Allentown, Pa. He was 58. Tracey Sechler, a spokeswoman for Lehigh Valley Hospital in Allentown, confirmed the death. Robert Tyler, a family friend, said the apparent cause was heart failure. One of basketball’s larger-than-life figures — though at 6-foot-11 and more than 250 pounds he was pretty large to begin with — Dawkins made his mark on the sport’s history in a number of ways. Selected as an 18-year-old from Orlando, Fla., by the Philadelphia 76ers as the fifth overall choice in the 1975 National Basketball Association draft, he became the first player to make the leap directly from high school to the N.B.A. (He was not the first high schooler to turn pro. A year earlier, Moses Malone had jumped from high school in Virginia to the Utah Stars, a franchise in the American Basketball Association, which merged with the N.B.A. in 1976.)

Question: What sate is mentioned in the last few sentences?

He started the hunt last summer at open houses. There was always “that essential element that kept you from continuing,” he said. Usually it was size. He was coming from a 5,400-square-foot five-bedroom house, and every one-bedroom he saw seemed small. Places with sufficient space were going for well over $1 million. In one case, he intended to bid, but was told “there are already three offers beyond the asking price,” he said. “This does not happen in Florida.” The mother of an employee at García Media was a friend of Lisa Greenblatt, a saleswoman at Douglas Elliman, who helped him with his search.

Question: Where did Sandy retire from?

On a quiet Friday morning in November 2010, Sandy sat down with a mug of honey-ginger tea to read two books that Daryl had brought her. By this point, a year and a half after her amnestic M.C.I. diagnosis, she had progressed to what Duffy said was Alzheimer’s disease. She had retired from Cornell, but she was doing well. She could still travel alone to familiar destinations, including Austin, Tex., where Emily was living. Jeremy had temporarily moved back home to be with her. She could read novels, even difficult ones like Cormac McCarthy’s “The Road.” She played tennis, gardened and went for walks around Ithaca with a handful of friends, most of them former colleagues from Cornell. She saw a few psychotherapy patients. One would later say that even though Sandy was having some trouble remembering words, “it didn’t really matter. In a therapy relationship you’re talking more about emotions — and in that regard, she didn’t miss a beat.”

Question: What is the most important part of co-borrowing?

This type of arrangement can potentially cut buyers’ individual expenses, while providing them with a potential equity gain and a mortgage interest tax deduction. But these ventures can also end badly if buyers assume that friendship alone will see them through any future difficulty. Before applying for a mortgage, the co-borrowers should fully reveal their income, debt and credit status to each other, said Mike Venable, a senior vice president and head of underwriting for retail bank operations at TD Bank. “It definitely needs to be someone you really trust,” he said.

Question: Which nation was never eligible for a World Cup?

“This is a mythology that Venezuela is not good at soccer,” said Omar Pironel, a 27-year-old Colombia fan visiting Chile for the tournament. “We often struggle with them.” Before this year, Venezuela had only four wins in 55 games at the Copa América, and it is the only member of the South American confederation that has never qualified for a World Cup. In the 1975 Copa, it lost by 11-0 to a merciless Argentina side. In 1999 and 2000, it lost to Brazil by a combined score of 13-0 in a Copa América match and a subsequent World Cup qualifier.

Question: What could cause Mr. Osborne to suffer from deflections and close votes?

As laid out in the Conservative manifesto, the cuts would be deep outside certain protected areas like the National Health Service, and might be about 30 billion pounds, or about $49 billion. Mr. Osborne is driven by a Thatcherite belief in the value of a smaller state to free up individual and corporate enterprise and encourage those able to work to do so, and such cuts could create political tensions, and even unrest, in the country. Mr. Osborne is respected, but his economic theology is not shared by every Tory, which could also lead to defections and close votes. Mr. Cameron has never been very popular with some of his backbenchers. They are sure to be shocked and overjoyed at the victory he brought them, as they feared Labour would manage, with the Scots, to create a majority to throw the Tories out of power. Even the most optimistic Conservatives were talking about winning 300 seats, which pollsters thought was hallucinatory.

Question: What country is Boko Haram affecting?

What I can pledge, with absolute certainty, is that from the first day of my administration, Boko Haram will know the strength of our collective will and commitment to rid this nation of terror, and bring back peace and normalcy to all the affected areas. Until now, Nigeria has been wanting in its response to their threat: With our neighbors fighting hard to push the terrorists south and out of their countries, our military was not sufficiently supported or equipped to push north. As a consequence, the outgoing government’s lack of determination was an accidental enabler of the group, allowing them to operate with impunity in Nigerian territory.

Question: Where does Tiant live now?

“I told him Boston is a good place to play,” Tiant said. “I lived there for 43 years. I live in Maine now, but I lived in Boston for years, and for me, it is my second country. People were great to me, and they are still great to me. They show me respect, admiration and love. They don’t have that anywhere else I’ve been, just in Boston.” Tiant was a larger-than-life figure in Boston: a portly, cigar-smoking character whose starts were big events. He was also known as an exceptional clutch performer. In the memorable 1975 World Series, Tiant won two games against the Cincinnati Reds, including a shutout in Game 1. He also won the final regularly scheduled game of the 1978 season with a two-hit shutout against the Blue Jays that forced the famous one-game playoff with the Yankees. But Tiant’s status as Boston sports royalty was solidified as far back as 1972, when he went 15-6 with a 1.91 E.R.A., the best in baseball that season. Tiant was unable to return to Cuba for 46 years. After leaving Cuba, he did not see his father for 14 years until Luis Tiant Sr. was allowed to come to Boston to watch the 1975 World Series. “It’s sad,” Tiant said. “It was 46 years before I go back to my country, and a lot of my friends and people I played with and went to school with, they died. It’s not a comfortable situation. I didn’t see my father for 14 years. I thought I would never see him again.” Moncada grew teary-eyed when he spoke of his own family. He said that until he left Cuba nine months ago, he had not gone more than a week without seeing his family. But the future might not be as difficult for him as the past was for Tiant. The governments of Cuba and the United States have initiated a process that could lead to a normalization of relations. If that is achieved, it may not be as difficult for the current group of Cuban players to travel home and then return to the United States to play.

Question: Who is exploiting the children of Senegal?

Tens of thousands of children in Senegal are being exploited by Quranic teachers who force them to beg in the streets, Human Rights Watch said Monday, blaming the government for failing to carry out a 2005 law aimed at stopping the trafficking of children and their exploitation in Quranic schools. A 2014 government census of the Islamic schools found that more than 30,000 children were being forced to beg in the capital, Dakar, alone. Nine of the students, called talibes, testified to regular beatings with rubber whips, wood and rope by their teacher and his assistants, the watchdog group said.

Question: prior to Keflezighi, when was the last time the US men won?

The Boston race has been dominated by East Africans, with Kenya and Ethiopia taking 16 of the last 18 women’s titles. Kenya and Ethiopia also won 24 of the 26 men’s races before Keflezighi gave the United States its first victory since 1983. Now it could be the women’s turn. Flanagan was fourth in the 2013 Boston race, crossing the finish line a few hours before two explosions there killed three people and wounded more than 260. She led early last year, when she conceded to being overanxious in the aftermath of the bombings. “Everyone knows that this is the one I want to win so badly,” Flanagan said. “That’s probably been one of my downfalls — that I want it too much.”

Question: Which state has the country's best immunization rate for kindergartners?

JACKSON, Miss. —  The Mississippi state epidemiologist, Dr. Thomas E. Dobbs III, stood in a crowded room at the State Capitol this week and waited for a legislative verdict on the law that fostered what he regards as a public health triumph in a place that has few of them: the country’s highest immunization rate among kindergarten students. But in recent weeks, the nearly unbending nature of Mississippi’s law requiring students to be vaccinated has been in jeopardy, with two dozen lawmakers publicly supporting an exemption for “conscientious beliefs.” The debate, coming as other states grappled with a measles outbreak, turned Mississippi into one more battleground between medical experts who champion vaccinations and parents who fear the government’s role in medical decision-making.

Question: Who is the democratic chairman of the assembly's hosing committee?

But that would be a setback for both Mr. de Blasio and tenant activists who hope to impose restrictions on landlords of rent-stabilized apartments. “It’s really siding with the real estate industry, rather than New York tenants,” said Katie Goldstein of Tenants and Neighbors, an advocacy group. “It’d be a disaster. Renewal would mean leaving the broken system intact.” Keith L. T. Wright, a Democrat and the chairman of the Assembly’s housing committee, agreed. “It would be political and governmental malpractice if we do not reform rent regulations and 421-a,” he said.

Question: Sometimes Marcelo does a double, what does that mean to him?

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.

Answer: Twenty-four hours

Twenty-four hours if you take a double.

Question: How is is Towns as described by this article?

“I was like, ‘Where did you buy that jump shot?’ ” Muhammad said. “And he was kind of like: ‘I always had one! Coach Cal wouldn’t let me shoot it!’ And I was like: ‘Man, that’s pretty good. You’re the No. 1 pick, and you didn’t even show some parts of your game.’ ” Muhammad, a third-year wing and a part of the Timberwolves’ well-publicized kiddie corps, paused and considered the possibilities. “His ceiling,” Muhammad said, “is high.” Towns, who recently turned 20, has made an easy transition to life in the N.B.A., averaging 15.2 points and 9.3 rebounds a game for the Timberwolves (9-13), who will visit the Knicks on Wednesday. It will be a homecoming of sorts for Towns, who grew up in Piscataway, N.J., and attended St. Joseph High School, a preparatory school in Metuchen, N.J. Towns’s teammates have watched him improve week by week — perhaps even day by day. On Wednesday, amid the hoopla of Kobe Bryant’s final game in Minneapolis, Towns clogged the box score in a 123-122 overtime victory over the Lakers, collecting 26 points and 14 rebounds while shooting 11 of 19 from the field. One of his most impressive feats did not even count — cradling the ball up from his ankles for a dunk that came after the whistle. “That was nasty,” Muhammad said.

Question: What does a newer router improve?

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 was Mr. Rouseff's predecessor?

In the last decade, Brazil seemed to be on the verge of the kind of sustainable economic boom that its leaders had predicted for years. Ms. Rousseff’s predecessor, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, had boldly predicted Brazil would rise to greatness in the 21st century, a forecast that seemed entirely plausible when, in 2010, the country’s economy expanded at the rate of 7.5 percent, its greatest performance in 24 years. Brazil, along with China, India and Russia, was regarded as among the world’s most promising emerging markets. Oil was central to Brazil’s strategy, and that gave Petrobras a leading role in the nation’s growing influence — and pride of place. At one time it was the sixth-largest company in the world by market capitalization and accounted for roughly 10 percent of Brazil’s gross domestic product. For perspective, Apple, which has twice Petrobras’s peak market cap, represents 0.5 percent of the United States’ gross domestic product.

Question: What goes with baseball, hot dogs and peanuts?

Except that it’s beer, not wine, that goes so naturally with baseball, hot dogs, peanuts and conversation, especially under the ideal conditions of afternoon sunshine. I came of drinking age as the craft beer revolution was taking off in this country. I am sad to say that I’ve very rarely had a good beer in a ballpark, certainly not in Yankee Stadium, home of the team I’ve rooted for all my life. Even as great craft brews are available in many ballparks around the country, Yankee Stadium has remained in thrall to the big distributors, squeezing out all but corporate products. But spring is the season of unrealistic hopes, so I can fantasize how I’d stock my ideal concession. First, as a ballgame generally calls for multiple beers, you wouldn’t want the heavy hitters, contemplative barley wines and other high-alcohol brews.

Question: What makes up a kind of Clique?

The association has begun working with operators of communities on strategies to mitigate the effect of cliques and will conduct a new study this year to examine the prevalence of cliques in assisted-living residences as well.

Question: What two sites are generally considered addicting?

“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.
