Question: Who will travel to Moscow and Washington next week?

The French President, François Hollande, says France is “at war” against “a jihadi army.” France will be “pitiless.” There will be “no respite, no truce.” More than two years ago, after President Bashar al-Assad used chemical weapons, Hollande was ready to bomb Syria alongside President Obama. Then Obama wavered. Hesitation has been Obama’s modus operandi on Syria. Now there are body bags in Paris. Since 2013, ISIS has come to terrorize the world. Hollande will travel to Washington and Moscow next week in an attempt to forge a broad coalition to act “decisively” against it. If the President Obama he finds is the same Obama who spoke in Turkey on Monday, the French president will be disappointed. The contrast between Hollande’s fire and Obama’s flatness as he insisted he would not put American troops on the ground to defeat ISIS was one of the stranger aspects of being in Paris this week.

Question: What religion was Ben Lowe?

For an earnest young Christian named Ben Lowe, revelation came on the shores of Lake Tanganyika, in Africa. A relentless warming of the lake was reducing the catch of fish, the people were going hungry — and he had learned of scientific evidence that climate change was to blame. For the Rev. Brian Sauder, who grew up attending a small Anabaptist church in rural Illinois, the moment came in a college classroom. Studying the fallout from environmental degradation, he learned of poor people who had to walk hours longer each day to gather firewood from depleted forests. For both men, Christian duties that their upbringing had led them to regard as separate — taking care of the earth and taking care of the poor — merged into a morally urgent problem. “Why haven’t I ever made this connection before?” Mr. Sauder recalled asking himself.

Question: Does Mr. Emmerich want to continue to make Stonewall films?

So who gets to tell the story of Stonewall? It’s a nuanced and powerful question, 46 years after the riots — which lasted several days — became part of a broader push for gay and transgender rights. Mr. Emmerich, known for directing big-budget fare like “Independence Day,” and Mr. Baitz, the playwright and screenwriter, continue to stand by the trailer, created by the London-based Picture Production Company, and the film. “What can I say? I put all I know as a filmmaker into this film,” said Mr. Emmerich, 59. Describing it as a coming-of-age story, he said he was proud of the film, adding: “No studio wanted to finance it. If people want to boycott a movie because of its trailer, what kind of country do we live in?” He continued: “I always say I hope this is the first of many Stonewall films. The trailer is very true to the film. It’s Danny’s story.”

Question: What did Madonna do for the album which arrived Tuesday?

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 most expensive cost for a 3 bedroom apartment in higher end zipcodes?

The problem, officials have concluded, is that the subsidies were much too small. In 2011, HUD started the Dallas experiment as a part of a settlement with housing activists. It has since added five smaller regions to the program. In Dallas, the maximum subsidy for a three-bedroom apartment is now just $850 in the cheapest ZIP codes, but as much as $1,840 in the most expensive ZIP codes. In 33 of the 50 largest metropolitan areas, the subsidy for the wealthiest ZIP code would be more than twice as high as the subsidy in the poorest ZIP code. In New York, San Diego and Washington, it would be more than three times as high.

Question: What were the skydivers convicted of?

Three sky divers who parachuted off the 1 World Trade Center tower were acquitted on Monday of the most serious felony charge against them but convicted of three misdemeanors after a two-week trial in Manhattan. A jury in State Supreme Court found the sky divers — James Brady, Marko Markovich and Andrew Rossig — not guilty of burglary, rejecting the prosecution’s argument that the three had entered the tower intending to commit a crime inside it. The jurors decided, however, that the defendants were each guilty of two counts of reckless endangerment and of breaking a New York City ordinance against parachuting off buildings and bridges. They face up to a year in jail on the top misdemeanor conviction.

Question: What time is "The Dreamers" on tonight on Starz Cinema?

8:05 P.M. (Starz Cinema) THE DREAMERS (2004) Louis Garrel (top), Eva Green (center) and Michael Pitt (above) portray the points of a photogenic triangle in this drama from Bernardo Bertolucci (“Last Tango in Paris”) about an American who befriends French twins in Paris during the 1968 student riots. This adaptation of Gilbert Adair’s novel “The Holy Innocents” is “disarmingly sweet and completely enchanting,” A. O. Scott wrote in The New York Times. “The sex in this movie is, as measured by the display of body parts and the amount of time the actors spend out of their clothes, more explicit than even the most notorious scenes in ‘Last Tango,’ ” he said. “But it is hard to imagine a voyeur more benevolent than Mr. Bertolucci, whose eager scrutiny of the eros of the young is, like Jeremy Irons’s in ‘Stealing Beauty,’ less a matter of prurience than of an honest, nostalgic appreciation of natural human vitality.” 8:30 P.M. (TV5Monde) ELLES ÉTAIENT EN GUERRE (1914-18) Nathalie Baye narrates this 2014 French documentary, which examines World War I from the perspective of Marie Curie, Edith Wharton, Mata Hari, Rosa Luxemburg and Louise Bodin.

Question: What does meditation cultivate?

Change “is” to “could be,” and you become more mindful. The same is true when you look for an answer rather than the answer. Meditation isn’t snake oil. For some people, meditation might be the most efficient way to reduce stress and cultivate mindfulness. But it isn’t a panacea. If you don’t meditate, there’s no need to stress out about it. In fact, in some situations, meditation may be harmful: Willoughby Britton, a Brown University Medical School professor, has discovered numerous cases of traumatic meditation experiences that intensify anxiety, reduce focus and drive, and leave people feeling incapacitated. Evangelists, it’s time to stop judging. The next time you meet people who choose not to meditate, take a deep breath and let us relax in peace.

Question: Would Mr. Emmerich have done anything differently?

Mr. Emmerich shot “Stonewall” over 42 days in Montreal, on a $17 million budget, he said. He was initially inspired by a friend who told him about his upbringing in Kansas. Then he read about homeless young people being involved in the riots. He brainstormed the fictional approach of a rural teenager taken in and being taught how to survive in New York. Asked if he would have done anything differently, given the backlash, Mr. Emmerich emphatically replied: “No. No.” He noted that he had shown the film to two veterans of the Stonewall riots, Martin Boyce and Williamson L. Henderson, “to make it as accurate as possible.”

Question: What had the Senate been locked in in the previous 4 years?

WASHINGTON —  Barney Frank once told me that asking Republicans to govern was like asking him, the first openly gay member of Congress, to judge the Miss America contest: He would do it, but he wouldn’t enjoy it much or be very good at it. With control of the Senate up for grabs in 2016, Senate Republicans have spent the year trying to prove Mr. Frank wrong. And Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the majority leader, believes they have been pretty good at it — particularly when measured against the vicious stalemate of the previous four years. “I think the Senate is functioning again and producing results,” Mr. McConnell said in an interview as he assessed 2015 and looked ahead to a challenging election cycle that could quickly end his control of the Senate agenda if the public disagrees with his take.

Question: What type of flour is needed for the gravy?

Here is the plan for the next few days. Settle the Thanksgiving menu. (Our menu planner will help with that, and our guide to cooking the meal will answer any questions you have on how to execute it.) Pick up your turkey and set it in the refrigerator to thaw or keep. If you’re brining the bird, you can do that on Tuesday. There’s no need to start now. Go shopping: potatoes both white and sweet; squash; onions; bacon; cauliflower; apples; cranberries; a lot of unsalted butter; flour, both of the all-purpose variety (for pies) and of the finely milled sort (for gravy, because it doesn’t lump); cornmeal; eggs; a case of sparkling water; wine; bourbon; anything you’ll need that will keep for a few days in the pantry or fridge. You can lay in herbs and other perishables on Tuesday or Wednesday.

Question: Who wrote the book "The Reel Truth"?

But the rapidly shifting film school landscape has led to what a business professor might refer to as marketplace confusion. Never have the film school options been so many, and never has there been greater bewilderment about where to go — or whether to go at all. “You practically need a degree just to sort through it,” said Reed Martin, author of “The Reel Truth,” a guide for aspiring filmmakers. A lot of the confusion seems to be centered on the hard-charging for-profits that have stepped in to pick up spillover from more selective traditional schools. Full Sail, which offered its first bachelor’s degree programs in 2003 and master’s programs in 2007, says it received 2,800 film-related applicants last year, a 47 percent increase over 2013. Other major for-profit schools, almost all of which practice open enrollment, include the Los Angeles Film School and the New York Film Academy.

Question: Which country has become a major movie producer in the USA?

So schools have evolved to place more emphasis on the collaborative filmmaking process. “Incoming students may know how to operate a camera,” said Bob Gazzale, president of the nonprofit American Film Institute in Los Angeles, whose conservatory counts directors like David Lynch and Terrence Malick as graduates. “What we teach them is how to work together to tell a story.” Schools are also changing to keep pace with the entertainment industry, which is unrecognizable compared to the days when Martin Scorsese was a film student at New York University and Michael Bay at Wesleyan. Computer-generated visual effects have replaced movie stars as the primary reason the masses buy tickets. China is rapidly becoming Hollywood’s No. 1 box office market. Netflix is now making movies at almost the same clip as Paramount. Big studios now expect filmmakers to help create spinoff video games. And television has stolen much of film’s cultural and financial heat. To keep up, administrators have broadened their curriculums. Film school used to essentially mean learning to direct, write and shoot a movie. Now students go to study television writing and production, digital media, computer animation or video game design. If a picture moves, there is a program for it. At the film school of the University of Texas, Austin, a class offers instruction in “virtual realities, cyborg identities, multimedia applications, technological convergence, digital divide and transnational politics.” Creating entertainment for an increasingly diverse audience — Hispanic moviegoers now drive the North American box office, according to industry data — is a growing focus in film schools across the board.

Question: What is the name of the team that finished third in Lorient?

Team Abu Dhabi finished third in Lorient behind Team Vestas Wind, extending its overall lead in the race. Lessons learned from the Vestas team’s accident have been put into effect in the race, and navigational improvements will probably make their way to the average boater in the future. On Nov. 29, the boat was reaching nearly 20 miles per hour when it drove into the Cargados Carajos Shoals, an atoll 200 miles from Mauritius. The crew of nine was unhurt and left stranded on the reef. The stranded members were assisted by Team Alvimedica and were rescued after a harrowing night in breaking waves and razor-sharp coral.

Question: What did Mr. Hincapie say was more powerful than bitterness and angriness?

Mr. Carpenter, who also spells his surname Charpentier, also said he did not see Mr. Hincapie among the teenagers who attacked the Watkins family. He said the strong-arm tactics the police had used to persuade him and the other defendants to confess were to blame for Mr. Hincapie’s conviction. “You became concerned that your only way out of this precinct was to give the cops a story that they could use and give to the prosecutor,” he said. For his part, Mr. Hincapie said his first order of business was to go to a restaurant and have a seafood dinner. He said during his long incarceration he had at times nursed “a desire for full reprisal and revenge.” “I believed in the biblical imperative on an eye for an eye, that was my reality,” he added. “But I came to realize once I put my bitterness and angriness behind me that compassion was even more powerful. Shame on those individuals who did this to me, and shame on all those individuals who had knowledge of what happened to me. But I forgive them.”

Question: Did Carey Price miss any games prior to the latest injury?

Carey Price missed nine games earlier this season, but during his third game back, Wednesday against the Rangers, he aggravated the injury. He is expected to miss six weeks, putting the spotlight back on Mike Condon. A native of Needham, Mass., who played college hockey at Princeton, Condon started his journey to the Canadiens by trying out for an E.C.H.L. team during his spring break in 2013. After spending the past two seasons in the minor leagues, Condon beat out Dustin Tokarski in training camp for the backup job. Condon is 8-2-3 with a 2.19 goals-against and .916 save percentage, including a 5-2-2 record during Price’s previous absence. He may be this season’s Cam Talbot, the Rangers’ late-blooming backup who held down the fort last season when Henrik Lundqvist missed almost two months.

Question: When was the last time Corea and Hancock toured together?

Chick Corea and Herbie Hancock strolled onstage at Carnegie Hall on Thursday night like a longtime comedy team. Both were members of Miles Davis groups, both have widely recorded on electric keyboards as well as piano, and both are among jazz’s greatest pianists. But the last time Mr. Hancock and Mr. Corea toured as a duo was in the late 1970s before resuming celebrated solo careers. Still, camaraderie reigned, down to level of note-by-note interaction. Basking in the applause that greeted them, they reminisced about when they lived in New York City in the 1960s; they hinted at the concert to come. “How do they know what we’re going to do when we don’t know what we’re going to do?” Mr. Corea mused. As they moved toward their grand pianos, Mr. Hancock added, “You thought we were joking.”

Question: What has Douglas done a remarkable job of?

Let’s start with some background. For the last six years, Douglas Elmendorf has been the director of the C.B.O. By my judgment, he has done a remarkable job of shepherding the institution through times that have been both economically and politically difficult. (Full disclosure: Mr. Elmendorf is a friend and former student of mine, so I am not entirely objective. But many prominent policy wonks endorsed his reappointment.) Nonetheless, the new Republican leadership in Congress decided to appoint someone new to head the C.B.O. That decision is entirely understandable. Mr. Elmendorf has a long affiliation with Democrats, and the Republicans want someone who shares more of their perspective. As President Obama once said, elections have consequences. That includes the Republican sweep of 2014. So, on Friday, congressional leaders appointed Mr. Hall, a veteran of the Bush administration, to be the new head of the budget office.

Question: Who did LVMH hire after online trend becoming more challenging?

Ms. Massenet’s Net-a-Porter has spent most of the past 15 years in the red, although it posted a 1.4 million pound profit on sales of 654 million pounds last year. Still, she has enviable industry contacts and a stellar individual reputation. The newly merged group may be easier to run with Yoox’s Mr. Marchetti as the single, clear leader. But Yoox may well miss Mr. Massenet’s input. Yoox also loses her just as online luxury is heating up. LVMH announced it is hiring Ian Rogers of Apple to head up its digital innovation. McKinsey research also shows the strongest growth in online luxury sales happening on the websites of individual luxury brands and leading department stores. For multibrand websites like Yoox Net-a-Porter, the trends are becoming more challenging.

Question: When did the house vote take place?

“Without these unions in the state, you’re not going to make what you should,” said Josh Weeks, a union carpenter from Meta, Mo., who was in the audience for Mr. Nixon’s speech. “In my opinion, if you want to be in a right-to-work state, you should move to one.” The override effort will hinge on whether supporters of the legislation can persuade enough Republicans who sided with the unions during the regular session to join their cause. Two-thirds majorities are needed in both chambers to overturn Mr. Nixon’s veto. The House vote in May fell 17 votes short of that mark.

Question: Who is the chief strategist for Rand Paul's campaign?

But at the same time, more partisan political videos may trickle into news feeds as campaigns deploy Facebook’s new video advertising platform to reach specific groups. A video by the Clinton campaign, for instance, would probably not be targeted toward those using Mr. Cruz’s campaign logo as their avatar. And Facebook is ready to tap these intensifying political passions as a revenue stream. Some campaigns are proving particularly nimble at steering the conversation on Facebook. Vincent Harris, the chief digital strategist for Senator Rand Paul’s campaign, equipped the candidate’s many followers with avatars, photographs, videos, memes and links to post on their Facebook walls on the day Mr. Paul announced that he was running for president. Tagged correctly, the posts were intended to bombard others’ news feeds as well. The rise of political chatter on Facebook does not mean the site has become as polarized as Texas is red or California is blue. Some actually do use the site to stay informed about the other side.

Question: How much for a crew-neck top?

Both times I visited the mall, I needed respite badly. Once, I sat on the steps in the main atrium and tried to restore steady breathing; it felt as if I had just climbed a mountain and was being choked by thin air. Another time, I left and walked a few blocks to Century 21, which with its air of rank desperation felt more apt for the neighborhood. Unlike Brookfield Place, where your happiness was heavily mediated, Century 21 required the usual pluck — maybe the gray cowhide crew-neck Valentino top ($866, on sale from $4,625) would fit, but probably not; same for the white linen-ish Lanvin peak lapel blazer ($799, on sale from $3,380).

Question: Who starred in Birdman and ran in his underpants?

One of the less predictable turn of events was the bland performance by Neil Patrick Harris, a veteran M.C. of both the Tony Awards and the Emmys, who hosted the Oscars for the first time on Sunday. His one successful stretch was a parody of a scene from “Birdman,” in which Michael Keaton runs through Times Square in his underpants. Mr. Harris ran through backstage corridors and onto the stage in white briefs and his black socks and shoes. But because Mr. Harris is in good physical shape, there wasn’t much humor or bravery to the sketch, just bravado.

Answer: Michael Keaton

One of the less predictable turn of events was the bland performance by Neil Patrick Harris, a veteran M.C. of both the Tony Awards and the Emmys, who hosted the Oscars for the first time on Sunday. <hl> His one successful stretch was a parody of a scene from “Birdman,” in which Michael Keaton runs through Times Square in his underpants. <hl> Mr. Harris ran through backstage corridors and onto the stage in white briefs and his black socks and shoes.

Question: What type of architect was Karl Friedrich Schinkel?

“Urban development and politics here should be like music in the city, where you have both the Philharmonic and nightclubs like Berghain,” Mr. Ludewig argued. “We should have Museum Island and also the Flussbad to show we’re still a city where crazy ideas can become reality.” Opponents of the Flussbad fume about the prospect of bikini-clad bathers despoiling a noble site. But the real embarrassment is the dirty canal. Architectural preservationists fret that stairways cut into the canal’s retaining walls will tamper with a World Heritage Site, altering the work of a cultural hero, the neo-Classical architect Karl Friedrich Schinkel, who conceived the museum quarter. But the walls have been rebuilt untold times over the years, and a mess of lights, moorings and signs have been stuck onto them. They are hardly inviolable.

Question: What was the German Empire not able to deal with?

The origins of the Nazi dictatorship are to be found in the authoritarian legacy of the German Empire, the inability to cope with the defeat in World War I and the failure to achieve political compromise during the Weimar Republic. When it comes to explaining the Holocaust, Germans inquire about the place of anti-Semitism and xenophobia in their society and about the psychological and cultural factors that led ordinary citizens to participate in, or to accept, horrific atrocities. They understand their own history well enough to avoid being distracted by demagogy about gun control. If the United States is going to arrive at a workable compromise solution to its gun problem, it will not be accomplished through the use of historical analogies that are false, silly and insulting. Similarly, coming to terms with a civilizational breach of the magnitude of the Holocaust requires a serious encounter with history, rather than political sloganeering that exploits history as a prop for mobilizing one’s base.

Question: How many times a day mishearing of what people say happen to his/her ?

As my deafness increases, I am more and more prone to mishearing what people say, though this is quite unpredictable; it may happen 20 times, or not at all, in the course of a day. I carefully record these in a little red notebook labeled “PARACUSES” — aberrations in hearing, especially mishearings. I enter what I hear (in red) on one page, what was actually said (in green) on the opposite page, and (in purple) people’s reactions to my mishearings, and the often far-fetched hypotheses I may entertain in an attempt to make sense of what is often essentially nonsensical. After the publication of Freud’s “Psychopathology of Everyday Life” in 1901, such mishearings, along with a range of misreadings, misspeakings, misdoings and slips of the tongue were seen as “Freudian,” an expression of deeply repressed feelings and conflicts.

Question: What does "anchor babies" stand for?

1. He should never let himself say the words “anchor babies” ever again. He got in trouble for using that derogatory reference to the children of unauthorized immigrants in passing, in an interview, then dug himself a hole by defending his use of it. On Monday, he dug deeper. He tried to explain that he had been talking about “Asian people” who arrive on tourist visas through organized schemes to give birth to American babies on American soil.

Question: Who did Mr. Hall used to work for?

Answer: Bush administration

Let’s start with some background. For the last six years, Douglas Elmendorf has been the director of the C.B.O. By my judgment, he has done a remarkable job of shepherding the institution through times that have been both economically and politically difficult. (Full disclosure: Mr. Elmendorf is a friend and former student of mine, so I am not entirely objective. But many prominent policy wonks endorsed his reappointment.) Nonetheless, the new Republican leadership in Congress decided to appoint someone new to head the C.B.O. That decision is entirely understandable. Mr. Elmendorf has a long affiliation with Democrats, and the Republicans want someone who shares more of their perspective. As President Obama once said, elections have consequences. That includes the Republican sweep of 2014. <hl> So, on Friday, congressional leaders appointed Mr. Hall, a veteran of the Bush administration , to be the new head of the budget office. <hl>

Question: How was it called the most expensive painting sold in modern times?

The $616,000 paid in 1958 by the banking heir Paul Mellon for Cézanne’s “Boy in a Red Waistcoat” at Sotheby’s sale of works from the Jakob Goldschmidt Collection — the first-ever “black tie” evening sale — was hailed as an auction high for a modern work of art. But then Old Masters were still the dominant collecting taste. Also, as “Capital in the 21st Century” points out, at that time the richest 10 percent claimed less than 35 percent of America’s national income, down from 50 percent in the 1920s, when Huntington was spending $20,000 on phone calls. It’s worth noting that this income-adjusted methodology ranks Van Gogh’s “Dr. Gachet” as the most expensive artwork sold at auction in modern times. That result was a direct product of Japan’s late 1980s “bubble” economy. Now, as the auction houses never tire of telling us, there are a lot more players at the top end of the art market from a lot more countries. No fewer than five telephone bidders were prepared to spend more than $120 million on Picasso’s “Femmes d’Alger” in New York last month.

Question: What government ask the US for help?

From the earliest days of the war, the government in Kiev had asked for military help from the United States.

Question: Who is the Giants quarterback?

Much of the buildup to the game against the Panthers centered on how Beckham, who has scored 25 touchdowns in 26 career N.F.L. games, would fare against Norman, Carolina’s top cornerback, who earlier this year limited the production of the top receiver on several other teams. The Beckham-Norman matchup quickly turned into a ferocious confrontation, with the two players clashing in hand-to-hand combat as Beckham unsuccessfully tried to get open for passes from Giants quarterback Eli Manning. Beckham and Norman exchanged forearms, shoves and openhanded punches. At one point, Norman picked up Beckham and threw him to the turf. No penalties were called. By early in the second quarter, with Beckham still without a catch, the battle grew more hostile.

Question: What has proven challenging for Chinese regulators?

The move signals that the government is beginning to step back from the extraordinary measures it took over the summer to stop a steep sell-off in the country’s stock markets. In addition to suspending I.P.O.s, those measures included a harsh crackdown backed by the police against any investors betting against stocks, orders for state-owned brokerages to buy stocks on behalf of the state, and banning large shareholders of companies from selling their stakes. The timing of the move is opportunistic, as Chinese stocks have recently staged a rebound. From its low in late August, the main Shanghai share index has risen 23 percent. Getting the I.P.O. process right has proved challenging for Chinese regulators, who have suspended and resumed new listings several times in recent years when markets have become too volatile. New listings are a favored target of speculators because, under current regulations, the shares are permitted to rise as much as 44 percent on their first day of trading. Trading on subsequent days is capped at a daily gain or loss of 10 percent, as it is for all other stocks.
