Question: Why are young people joining Boko Haram?

But as our military pushes Boko Haram back, as it will, we must be ready to focus on what else must be done to counter the terrorists. We must address why it is that young people join Boko Haram. There are many reasons why vulnerable young people join militant groups, but among them are poverty and ignorance. Indeed Boko Haram — which translates in English, roughly, as “Western Education Is Sinful” — preys on the perverted belief that the opportunities that education brings are sinful. If you are starving and young, and in search of answers as to why your life is so difficult, fundamentalism can be alluring. We know this for a fact because former members of Boko Haram have admitted it: They offer impressionable young people money and the promise of food, while the group’s mentors twist their minds with fanaticism.

Question: What did Angela Merkel express regarding her acceptance of the deal?

Across Europe, there was relief that a deeper crisis had been averted, but continued debate about whether Germany and its allies in taking a hard line with Greece had pushed Mr. Tsipras into an untenable and volatile political situation that could lead to further trouble down the line. “The advantages far outweigh the disadvantages,” Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany said at a news conference Monday morning, explaining her decision to accept the deal and recommend that the German Parliament also grant its approval.

Question: Which player on the team is currently 32 years old?

That is not even half the question of what Bayern needs to know. The team against Barcelona was gutted by injuries, most importantly to its flying wingers, Arjen Robben and Franck Ribéry. But it was also without the key defenders David Alaba and Holger Badstuber, and aches and fatigue also affected some who did play, like Xabi Alonso, Philipp Lahm and Bastian Schweinsteiger. The Germans among those players deny themselves the excuse that the Champions League semifinals they lost last year and this year sandwiched an event that was just as important to them, and arguably more so: the 2014 World Cup. Age is becoming a factor to the German club, too. Six from the Bavarian team — which peaked two years ago when it won the treble of the Champions League, the Bundesliga and the German Cup in the same season — are now over 30. That need not be a terminal age for a player today, thanks to improved medical and dietary care and rosters that are large enough to rotate star players. However, Ribéry and Robben may never again reach the peak they did in 2013 under Jupp Heynckes’s final season as coach. Ribéry is 32 now and Robben is 31. Alonso is 33, Lahm 31, and dear old Schweinsteiger, though only just 30, looks what he is — a ferocious competitor who has pushed himself through countless knocks and strains while playing for both club and country.

Question: Who sent the fake email?

The interview drowned out Mr. Cameron’s vow on Wednesday to introduce a law guaranteeing no rise in income tax rates, value-added tax or national insurance before 2020 if his party wins the election. The Labour Party dismissed Mr. Cameron’s pledge as a “last-minute gimmick,” and said that the Conservatives had a “secret plan” to cut tax credits for families and raise the value-added tax. Labour even put together a website, torysecretplan.com, which features a fake email to Mr. Cameron from George Osborne, the chancellor of the Exchequer, laying out cuts not to be announced until after the election. Opinion polls suggest a hung Parliament, with no party winning an absolute majority, and the two main parties, the Conservatives and Labour, splitting about two-thirds of the vote.

Question: Who saw the SUV move onto the tracks?

At the briefing, Mr. Sumwalt said that investigators reviewing the workings of the rail crossing found that the warning lights, the alarm and the gate arms were all functioning at the time of the crash. In an interview with investigators on Thursday, the engineer operating the train said he saw the S.U.V. moving onto the tracks as the northbound train approached the crossing at Commerce Street. The engineer’s account of the car’s moving into the path of the train was consistent with the account of a man who said he was in the car behind Ms. Brody’s, and who was interviewed by reporters after the crash and by investigators for the federal safety board on Thursday.

Question: What company is behind IMpossible IZZpossible?

Peace, love and respect are excellent values for a theatrical production to promote, especially one directed at children. But it takes more than good intentions to make a good show, and Illstyle and Peace Productions’ “IMpossible IZZpossible,” which played over the weekend at BAM Fisher as part of the BAM Kids series, is an incoherent jumble. After the performance on Saturday afternoon, Brandon Albright, the Philadelphia-based company’s affable founder, director and choreographer, explained that the production was about the difficult process of achieving your dreams. Yet the show, a disconnected suite of mediocre hip-hop routines riddled with baffling elements, seemed less about that process than still involved in it, and at an early, inchoate stage. The chief distinction of the choreography lies in its effort to mix hip-hop styles with steps from tap, ballet and West African dance. Considering the cultural connections between hip-hop and African dance, it’s not surprising that they would blend well, but hybrids are often ungainly, and it’s a relief to see one as smooth as this. Alas, the awkwardness averted there crops up just about everywhere else.

Question: Why do I think you should take this course?

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: How many studies included healthy participants?

Before 1983, six randomized controlled trials involving 2,467 men were conducted. None were explicit studies of the recommended diet (and none involved women), but all explored the relationship between dietary fat, cholesterol and mortality. Five of them were secondary prevention trials — meaning that they involved only men with known problems already. Only one included healthy participants, who would be at lower risk, and therefore would be likely to have less benefit from dietary changes. That’s a lot of participants. Moreover, many of them were at high risk. And in all of them, there was no significant difference among them in the rate of death from coronary heart disease. There were also no differences in mortality from all causes, which is the metric that matters.

Question: Which organization does Mr. Mellbin represent?

The Kabul government’s political struggles have had a direct affect on the morale of the security forces, some officials say. Many of the army and police commanders who were in Kunduz maintain factional loyalties that at times have been at odds with the central government. In the confusion of the Taliban assault, some simply chose not to fight when the moment arrived, some officials claimed. “The security challenges cannot be seen in isolation,” said Mr. Mellbin, the European Union representative. “The political space needs to be worked more effectively. If the elite had come together on Kunduz, the situation could have been managed before it became a national security threat.”

Question: What place and in what time did Keflezighi finish at his first Marathon?

Of the 11 children in the family, Meb said, nine have earned college degrees. And one has become a champion marathon runner, even if first impressions were unnerving. At his first New York City Marathon, in 2002, he finished ninth in 2:12:35 and grew so chilled that his father tried to massage warmth back into his legs and his mother told him, “No more marathons for you.” He remembers telling himself and others, “I don’t want to ever do that again.” Now he is back in New York for a 10th marathon. And after a break of four days or so, Keflezighi will begin his recovery and buildup toward the Olympic trials in February. He did this successfully before the 2012 London Olympics on an even shorter turnaround. Presumably, his attention to detail will avoid a repeat of what happened during the 2011 New York City Marathon, when Keflezighi forgot to put a breathing strip on his nose, leaving it in his running shoe as he finished sixth. An irritation developed and his foot became infected, costing him three weeks of training. Still, Keflezighi rebounded to win the Olympic trials. “He was a little embarrassed,” said Larsen, Keflezighi’s coach. “He’s very alert and precise at what he does. That was very unusual for him.”

Question: What is the United States supporting Saudi Arabia in?

The United States has been supportive of the intervention, though quietly concerned about its long-term ramifications and the humanitarian impact.

Question: Where was the Massey Energy Company trial held?

A federal judge on Tuesday refused to declare a mistrial in the case of Donald L. Blankenship, who was the chief executive of Massey Energy Company when 29 workers were killed in a company mine in 2010. Mr. Blankenship’s lawyer asked for the mistrial ruling after jurors finished their fifth full day of deliberations. But Judge Irene C. Berger of Federal District Court in Charleston said that she did not “have any reason to believe that they are deadlocked” and that extensive deliberations were not surprising after weeks of testimony. Mr. Blankenship is accused of securities fraud and of conspiring to violate mine safety regulations. Deliberations will resume on Monday.

Question: How much does Medicare pay out to those with dementia, heart disease or cancer?

So when a group of researchers asked which of these diseases involved the greatest health care costs in the last five years of life, the answer they found might seem surprising. The most expensive, by far, was dementia. The study looked at patients on Medicare. The average total cost of care for a person with dementia over those five years was $287,038. For a patient who died of heart disease it was $175,136. For a cancer patient it was $173,383. Medicare paid almost the same amount for patients with each of those diseases — close to $100,000 — but dementia patients had many more expenses that were not covered.

Answer: close to $100,000

For a cancer patient it was $173,383. <hl> Medicare paid almost the same amount for patients with each of those diseases — close to $100,000 — but dementia patients had many more expenses that were not covered. <hl>

So when a group of researchers asked which of these diseases involved the greatest health care costs in the last five years of life, the answer they found might seem surprising.

For a patient who died of heart disease it was $175,136. For a cancer patient it was $173,383.

Question: What happened to the Glad Hand building after the establishment closed?

Mr. Connell’s drinking buddies included the novelist Calvin Kentfield, who like Mr. Connell was an early editor of Contact, an old Bay Area literary magazine that had been restarted in 1958. Early issues of this new Contact, with offices on the Bridgeway, near the No Name Bar, featured young writers like Mr. Connell, Updike and Ray Bradbury, as well as established hands like William Saroyan and William Carlos Williams. It also featured early works by Gina Berriault, Donald Barthelme and Wallace Stegner. In the convivial, hard-drinking Sausalito writing crowd, Mr. Connell kept his distance. “Whatever social life he had going, he was pretty private about,” Mr. Seymour said. They knew one another mainly through the bars. After I left Mr. Seymour’s house, I walked by the old Glad Hand, the defunct bar where the idea for the No Name was born. The building is still there, on a pier cantilevered over the bay. After the Glad Hand closed around 1959, the building became a coffee shop. Since 1965 it has been Scoma’s, a popular seafood house.

Question: What threshold was required for the purchase of F-35 fighter jets?

He found the resources to commit to the 2 percent threshold, committed to buying F-35 fighter jets and maritime patrol planes for Britain’s new aircraft carriers, and vowed to renew Britain’s submarine-based nuclear deterrent. He is now seeking to follow through on his promise to expand airstrikes against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. Mr. Cameron has announced an increase in military spending in real terms of 3 percent over the next four years, including for special forces, intelligence gathering and a doubling of Britain’s drone fleet. Nevertheless, after the recent conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, Britons remain wary about involvement in Syria, and Mr. Cameron has had to spend considerable effort cajoling lawmakers — including in his own party — to support him.

Question: Where did the European Union leaders hold a meeting?

Tensions have risen over the migrant crisis among the Balkan countries that once made up Yugoslavia. Slovenia has accused Croatia of dumping thousands of desperate people at random locations on the border and leaving them to find their own way across, while Croatia has complained that the European Union has failed to come up with a common strategy to cope with the crisis. European Union leaders met in Malta on Wednesday for their sixth meeting of the year on the issue. Slovenia’s decision to build the fence drew sharp criticism from humanitarian organizations and human rights activists. Last week, an open letter accused the government of failing the migrants by leaving them out in the open, hungry and cold, while the authorities registered them and processed them. Countries elsewhere in Europe have also been raising barriers against the continued flow of asylum seekers. Sweden imposed temporary border controls on Wednesday and called on the European Union to share the burden of dealing with the crisis more widely, Reuters reported.

Question: What time period is John referring back to?

“But, but ...” “When I started out,” he explained, “I was invited by the founder of our company for drinks and steak. And I tried to pay for our dinner, which ended up about $200 — and this was in the ’70s, when $200 meant something. He yanked my wallet from me and said, ‘John, I invited you to dinner; that means you’re my guest. And if you’re my guest, that means I’m supposed to take care of you. And if I’m going to take care of you, that means I’ve got your bill.’ ” He continued. “And my boss said, ‘What kind of boss would I be — what kind of man would I be — if I made my worker or guest, who I know makes far less money than me, pay for the meal? That’s just a pathetic move that shows I have no empathy. That’s not a good philosophy to live by. So I pay. The good person always offers to pay; and the wealthier of the two always does.’ ” “Can we at least go Dutch?” I responded to the executive.

Question: For what crime was Raj Rajaratnam convicted?

Raj Rajaratnam, the hedge fund magnate whose insider trading conviction in 2011 represented the government’s first major victory, also challenged wiretapped evidence the government collected against him. He argued that the government’s wiretap application failed to disclose that the S.E.C. was already pursuing a conventional investigation. While the judge overseeing Mr. Rajaratnam’s trial ultimately admitted the recordings as evidence, he admonished the government, saying “the omissions here are troubling to say the least.” After Mr. Rajaratnam’s arrest, prosecutors and the F.B.I. turned the spotlight onto Level Global and others, setting up the Nov. 22, 2010, raid. During the raid, one of the items the F.B.I. collected was a “list of artwork” belonging to Mr. Ganek in addition to a DVD that contained “extractions” from his iPhone and BlackBerry. In the course of the raid, the F.B.I. also seized a folder labeled “S/A/C/ Correspondence,” with a name that was redacted, according to the warrant materials.

Question: Who makes faulty guardrails?

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

Question: Where is the spice blend made from?

For the dressing, which Baumgart builds out of what he calls ‘‘a deconstructed za’atar,’’ the Middle Eastern spice blend, some confidence is required. What seems an enormous amount of dried spices — ground fennel, sumac and coriander — is combined with chopped parsley and cilantro. The result looks dry and grainy, as if something is wrong. But olive oil, lime juice and white-wine vinegar (best available, please!) begin to smooth things out, and the cheese, pistachios and vinegar-plumped currants finish the job. ‘‘Let it sit for a while,’’ Baumgart advised. ‘‘Let those flavors come together.’’

Question: Who is the most powerful person in the Cuban church?

“What the church recognizes today and they are addressing is that the first thing you have to address with the Cuban people is trying to meet their basic needs,” said Andy Gomez, a former senior fellow at the Institute for Cuban and Cuban-American Studies at the University of Miami. “Once you start helping them address their basic needs, food and shelter, then you can start talking about religion, social change and some of these other things.” The most powerful figure in the Cuban church is Cardinal Jaime Lucas Ortega y Alamino, the archbishop of Havana, who is set to retire. Detractors attack him as being too conciliatory to the government of President Raúl Castro. Defenders say he is astute and politically savvy in preserving the relevance of the church. According to Catholic clergy and lay members, Cardinal Ortega favors a slower, smoother transition to a more democratic and market-based Cuba, a view shared by some on and off the island who fear that a more dramatic change could bring social and economic turmoil. But some Cuban bishops have wanted a more confrontational approach, while other critics have been upset by the cardinal’s public dismissals of Cuba’s political opposition.

Question: When Ms. Clyne puts on her headphones and doesn't look at the score, what is she trying to discover about her music?

On her computer are drafts for a work for chamber ensemble and taped spoken word, featuring the voice of John Cage. On the desk are a pair of headphones, which Ms. Clyne will wear to listen to draft versions of her piece while walking, gesturing, dancing through the room. “It’s a way to connect to the physicality of the music,” she said. “I’ll put this on and not look at the score and just move to see if it feels right.” She’s not a dancer any more than she is a painter, and said she would be “mortified” if anyone saw her doing it. But it’s a process she trusts — at least for now, for this piece. At any rate, she said, “I’m having to invent things each time.”

Question: What type of motive do officials think is most likely for the theft?

Democratic and Republican lawmakers have been unsparing in their criticism of the personnel agency’s handling of the data breach and its aftermath — and its habit of periodically revising upward the amount of information that was lost. Government officials have not been able to explain publicly why it took more than a year to discover that information was leaving its systems at a tremendous rate. Senator Mark Warner, Democrat of Virginia, said in a statement on Wednesday that “the massive new number of employees’ fingerprints that was breached is shocking.” He continued, “And it does little to instill confidence in O.P.M. that it took them so long to detect that the number was so much larger than originally thought.” He called for “lifetime identity protection coverage” for the affected employees and contractors. But that assumes there was a financial motive to the theft; officials say it seems more likely that it was a national security motive.

Question: What did Gary Cohn say that he had no real concern about?

The Goldman Sachs Group is in the middle of its biennial election of the next class of managing directors, an envied status that puts the lucky few just a breath away from the company’s loftiest title of partner. The managing director class that will be inducted starting in January is being culled now, said Gary Cohn, president and chief operating officer, who added he had “no real concerns” about the culture of the bank. Mr. Cohn said Goldman had learned to adapt and change over the years as its model shifted from a traditional private partnership to a global publicly traded company.

Question: Who is the editor of the journal Russia?

Russia has been accused of trying to create a so-called frozen conflict that it could heat up in order to destabilize Ukraine any time it draws too close to the West. Critics of the new agreement said it would help Moscow achieve that over the long run, even while Ukraine took financial responsibility for the rebel regions. “The practical, realistic expectation is a frozen conflict with no effective control by Kiev over those areas, but no formal responsibility of Russia,” said Fyodor Lukyanov, the editor of the journal Russia in Global Affairs.

Question: What will the political implications depend on according to Kenneth?

The political implications of the crisis will depend “on how much farther this will go, what measures the government will still deploy to deal with it and how it is explained to those who are losing money,” said Kenneth G. Lieberthal, a scholar of Chinese politics at the Brookings Institution and a former senior director for Asia on the United States’ National Security Council.

Question: Who founded SAC Capital?

Mr. Ganek and Mr. Chiasson were once star traders at SAC Capital, the former hedge fund founded by the billionaire investor Steven A. Cohen, and long a focal point of the government’s investigation. Although SAC ultimately pleaded guilty to insider trading, the government never raided its offices, highlighting the rarity of such an aggressive move. Mr. Ganek is not the first to question the government’s tactics.

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 is high-quality food in nature?

Those hard oval shells contain what some call nature’s perfect food: high-quality protein; a balance of saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats; and important nutrients like vitamins A and D and calcium. And the federal government is about to retire its decades-old warnings about another element in eggs: cholesterol.

Question: What is a serious obstacle to economic recovery according to Draghi?

Mr. Draghi reiterated that the E.C.B. does not try to achieve a certain exchange rate for the euro. The recent decline in the euro, he said, is “a natural outcome of diverging monetary policy path in the U.S. and the euro area. Markets expect a less accommodative monetary policy in the United States. This contributes to a stronger dollar.” Mr. Draghi and other top E.C.B. officials appear to be preparing financial markets for stronger action to combat low inflation. “Low inflation is already a serious obstacle to economic recovery and rebalancing within the eurozone,” Jean Pisani-Ferry, an economist who serves as a policy adviser to the French government, wrote in a blog post this week. “Outright deflation would be an even more dangerous threat.”

Question: What did Washington fear that Russia would do to Ukraine?

From the earliest days of the war, the government in Kiev had asked for military help from the United States. Its request for a sophisticated antitank missile went nowhere, as Washington feared it would just encourage Russia to send more weapons and men to Ukraine. What eventually arrived was basic training.

Question: What have middle-class investors been asking the Chinese communist Party?

Even if China’s stock markets end their dizzying falls — and analysts say there is still room to tumble even after a respite on Thursday — the sense of supreme control that once cloaked the Communist Party leadership may take longer to recover. Across China, many of the millions of middle-class investors have been asking why the party and the government talked up the market in the months leading up to the recent plunge, and then bumbled in their efforts to prevent the rout.

Question: What year was Raj Rajaratnam convicted?

Raj Rajaratnam, the hedge fund magnate whose insider trading conviction in 2011 represented the government’s first major victory, also challenged wiretapped evidence the government collected against him. He argued that the government’s wiretap application failed to disclose that the S.E.C. was already pursuing a conventional investigation. While the judge overseeing Mr. Rajaratnam’s trial ultimately admitted the recordings as evidence, he admonished the government, saying “the omissions here are troubling to say the least.” After Mr. Rajaratnam’s arrest, prosecutors and the F.B.I. turned the spotlight onto Level Global and others, setting up the Nov. 22, 2010, raid. During the raid, one of the items the F.B.I. collected was a “list of artwork” belonging to Mr. Ganek in addition to a DVD that contained “extractions” from his iPhone and BlackBerry. In the course of the raid, the F.B.I. also seized a folder labeled “S/A/C/ Correspondence,” with a name that was redacted, according to the warrant materials.

Question: What is one of the goals of Navdy are working towards?

“I love you,” the man responds, and then, before signing off, “I’m making a video right now.” That video — the one posted on YouTube — was a promotion commissioned by Navdy, one of a handful of start-up companies bringing a futuristic spin to the debate over distracted driving, and how to curb it. The devices project driving information and data streamed from a smartphone into a driver’s field of view. There are several versions of this nascent technology, but they generally work by using a projection device that wirelessly picks up information from the phone and uses sophisticated optics to allow the information — maps, speed, incoming texts, caller identification and even social media notifications — to hover above the dashboard. Hand gestures or voice commands allow drivers to answer a call or hang up.

Question: Where have the manufacturing jobs in Missouri moved to?

But it remains unclear what effect months of lobbying have had. “I know we’ve flipped some,” said Greg Mourad, a vice president at the National Right to Work Committee, which supports the legislation. “Whether we’ve flipped enough or not, I guess we’ll just have to wait and find out.” Missouri, whose union footprint has decreased in recent decades as manufacturing jobs have moved abroad, is increasingly rare as a Midwestern state without a right-to-work law. Of the states it borders, all but Illinois and Kentucky have some version of the policy on the books. Mr. Mourad said that puts Missouri at a disadvantage when competing with its neighbors to attract a new factory or business.
