Question: What did Sgt Michael Faranda admire about Ukrainians willingness despite lack of prepartion??

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: Who did Engles meet with?

N.J.I.T. will not quibble about its future home. After making the move to Division I from Division II in 2006, it found a temporary spot in the Great West Conference — a mishmash of colleges mostly from the Midwest and the West. But the conference was never granted an automatic bid to the men’s N.C.A.A. tournament, and in 2013 it disbanded after five of its six remaining members left for other conferences. From that point, the clock has been ticking for N.J.I.T. to upgrade its facilities to make itself more marketable. “This has been in the works for a while now,” Engles said. “When I would meet with recruits, I would tell them, ‘We plan on building a new $100 million facility,’ but it was just pictures. It was never guaranteed until now.”

Question: What building was completely emptied?

The scene unfolded almost a month after President Bashar al-Assad, in a rare public speech, had vowed to send reinforcements to rescue the holdouts, declaring, “The army will arrive soon to these heroes.” Afterward, insurgents, including members of the Nusra Front, which is affiliated with Al Qaeda, captured the gutted hospital, completing their takeover of the town of Jisr al-Shoughour, a crucial location on the road from the mostly insurgent-held province of Idlib toward the government’s strongholds on the coast. The loss of the hospital came two days after Islamic State militants drove government forces out of the desert town of Palmyra in central Syria in a lightning attack that has shocked the country. In addition, on Friday, the Islamic State group, also known as ISIS or ISIL, seized a military outpost near Palmyra, after its takeover on Thursday of a border crossing between Syria and Iraq farther east.

Question: Is Ms. Miller's character the main?

“Burnt” has other flaws, like not giving Ms. Miller enough to do, but its main one is simply that at this point it’s hard to care about people who mistake a third Michelin star for the most important thing in life. “Burnt” is rated R (Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian), because when things heat up in the kitchen, curse words fly. Running time: 1 hour 40 minutes.

Question: What words did Brahms use to described his Three Intermezzos?

Brahms described his Three Intermezzos (Op. 117) as “lullabies to my sorrows.” Mr. Kissin played them with deep empathy, allowing the notes of the first to cling to one another in a show of quiet, poignant reluctance. In “Granada,” from Albéniz’s “Suite Española,” Mr. Kissin echoed some of the same melancholy but transposed it into a warmer, more sensual sound world. Three other city portraits by Albéniz and the dazzling “Viva Navarra!” by Larregla followed, showcases for Mr. Kissin’s refined play of colors.

Answer: lullabies to my sorrows

Question: How many apprentices were named at City Ballet?

“Maybe she wanted me to follow in her footsteps,” Ms. Bradley said. And now Ms. Bradley has a chance to get into City Ballet, which rarely accepts dancers who have not trained at its school. Still, she said that she has had friends tell her that the school “probably needs a black girl to make it look more diverse.” She disagrees. “The teachers don’t care about that,” she said. “They just want you to do your tendu. I’m glad S.A.B. is like that. Lately, with this whole Misty Copeland thing — she’s black. It just shouldn’t have anything to do with that. It should just be like, she’s so good at ballet, she should be a principal. Now she is a principal, but it shouldn’t have taken all of that.” Last spring, of the five apprentices Mr. Martins named for City Ballet only one was white. In the main company, Mr. Farley, Olivia Boisson, Preston Chamblee, Taylor Stanley and Lara Tong have become familiar dancers. Is the company ready for a black female principal, too? “We’ve always been ready!” Mr. Martins exclaimed. “But where is she? Show me her. I’ll take her in a minute.”

Question: What were the jokes about that Porzingis laughed at?

Except for publicity events. One day after the T-shirt signing in White Plains, Porzingis appeared at a similar function in the shadow of the Christmas tree at Rockefeller Center. He arrived in a party bus with 15 children from the Garden of Dreams Foundation, a charity in the Bronx. Dressed in track pants and a blue-and-white trimmed Santa hat, he led his charges into an area penned off by barricades and there, in front of reporters, went through the motions of “surprising” them with gifts. The 20-minute photo-op did not leave much room for spontaneity. Looming over everything around him, Porzingis grinned into a firestorm of 100 flashing phones. He was painfully genial, smiling and shaking hands. He approximated laughter at every corny joke about his height. The one authentic moment came when he offered to hold a selfie stick for a picture with the children and his arm shot out to a gasp-inducing length. But then the youths were hustled off and the news media were unleashed. A television news crew put a camera in his face and asked how it felt to be playing in New York. Though he was smiling, his eyes went cold, and the muscles of his lips began to tighten. “I love it here,” Porzingis said. “New York’s the place to be.”

Question: What is Gawker.com?

Some of the areas of coverage that those sites focused on will now be addressed by the remaining seven sites. Jezebel, he said, will now “become the primary voice for celebrity and pop culture coverage in the network.” Gizmodo, which recently hired a new editor, Katie Drummond, from Bloomberg, will take over the coverage of science fiction, fantasy and futurism that was previously handled by the site io9. Seven people will lose their jobs in the revamping, although six jobs will be created. Plans to license Gawker’s content management system, Kinja, will be shelved. Gawker.com, the first site founded by Mr. Denton, had been seen as the quintessential Manhattan media and gossip publication of the Internet age — a destination for ambitious, young writers eager to cover the industry and the powerful figures who populate it. It has been no stranger to turmoil itself, with frequent changes among its top newsroom leadership, scandals over subjects it has covered or materials it has published. Disagreements in its staff have often broken into public view. But the announcement on Tuesday represents a more fundamental change of direction for the site and the company.

Question: Among the gifts that Joe DiMaggio received, there were 300 quarts of ice cream and what?

Yankees players and Manager Casey Stengel were fined a total of $500 for their intemperance. The Yankees won two of three against the Philadelphia Athletics, and the Red Sox matched that in Washington. With two games to play, Boston still led by one game. The tension in the pennant race riveted both cities. In an article on reaction in New England to the Soviet Union’s getting an atomic bomb, The Times wrote: “People appeared almost unanimous in their opinion that if the Russians had the atomic bomb and intended to use it, there was nothing that they, individually, could do about it. A more immediate pressing concern was whether Ted Williams of the Boston Red Sox would hit any home runs against the New York Yankees.” Pneumonia had put DiMaggio in the hospital, and he had lost 18 pounds, but he decided it was time to return. The Yankees proclaimed it Joe DiMaggio Day, and for an hour before the game, he was lauded and showered with gifts, including 300 quarts of ice cream and a speedboat.

Question: The family has had its share of divorces and what other thing?

None of the businesses facing sanctions are saying they wouldn’t serve gay people as a class; they just don’t want to work at nuptials. This isn’t a structural system of oppression, a society-wide conspiracy like Jim Crow; we’re talking about a handful of shops across the country. It seems possible, and reasonable, to live and let live. I think discrimination is discrimination. What about you? Would you bake the cake?  Honestly, since so many of my friends aren’t religious or conservative, I’ve always taken for granted that being part of their lives meant accompanying them through life choices that belong to a different worldview than my own. (And I’m very grateful that they’ve accompanied and tolerated me.) My family has its share of divorces and second marriages; my friends’ romantic paths are varied; my closest friend from high school just exchanged vows with his longtime boyfriend. I’m going to a party celebrating them next month. If they asked me, I’d bring a cake.

None of the businesses facing sanctions are saying they wouldn’t serve gay people as a class; they just don’t want to work at nuptials. This isn’t a structural system of oppression, a society-wide conspiracy like Jim Crow; we’re talking about a handful of shops across the country. It seems possible, and reasonable, to live and let live. I think discrimination is discrimination. What about you? Would you bake the cake? Honestly, since so many of my friends aren’t religious or conservative, I’ve always taken for granted that being part of their lives meant accompanying them through life choices that belong to a different worldview than my own.

Question: Who was the last USA player to be in a high ranked league?

Johannsson has played with the Dutch club AZ Alkmaar since 2013, scoring 38 goals in 84 games across all competitions. He will depart after having led the club to three important wins to end last season and propelling AZ into a surprising third-place finish that earned the team a place in the Europa League this season. On Tuesday, AZ announced that it had agreed to sell Johannsson’s rights to Werder Bremen. Johannsson still needed to agree to a contract and pass a physical; those could be completed as soon as Wednesday. “Once they came and were interested, it was a pretty easy choice, because obviously I want to play for a better team in a better league, and the Bundesliga is one of the best leagues in the world,” Johannsson said in a farewell interview posted online by AZ. “It’s a step in the right direction for me, and hopefully it will go well.” The move now makes Johannsson the only American forward likely to see regular minutes in one of Europe’s top leagues. Clint Dempsey was the last American to establish himself in an elite league; his best season was in 2011-12 with Fulham, when he scored 17 goals in the Premier League and 23 over all.

Question: How often would Sandy go in for her treatments?

Over the next months, Sandy and Daryl boarded a bus early in the morning every few weeks and rode down to Manhattan for the treatments. “I still feel as though I’m me,” she told him on one ride. “Do you agree?” He did, sort of. In fact, he was surprised by how much herself Sandy could still be, even as she became less and less the formidable thinker he had always known. He was surprised too to discover that it didn’t matter to him. “I realized how little of the fact that she was an intellectual played into my feelings for her,” he said. “They were feelings for her, not her intelligence. And they were still all there.”

Question: Where has the diva returned to?

‘Fancy Nancy the Musical’  (Saturday and Sunday) One of the arts’ youngest divas has returned to the McGinn/Cazale Theater. This musical from Vital Theater Company focuses on a little girl who wants everything to be fancy — especially herself. Based on the book series written by Jane O’Connor and illustrated by Robin Preiss Glasser, the production explores the predicament that ensues when Nancy finds out that she hasn’t been cast as the glamorous mermaid she’d hoped to be in the coming dance show. With a book by Susan DiLallo, a score by Danny Abosch, and lyrics by both, the musical humorously follows Nancy’s attempts to cope with a most unfancy role: that of a tree. (Through April 5.) At 1:30 p.m., 2162 Broadway, at 76th Street, fourth floor, 212-579-0528, vitaltheatre.org.

Question: What is the International Center of Law and Economics about?

“In the Microsoft case, if they’d just waited a while, the problems they thought they saw would have disappeared because technology, consumer behavior and the market demand changed enough to correct those problems,” said Geoffrey A. Manne, executive director of the International Center for Law and Economics, a policy research organization that has received funding from technology companies including, in the past, Google. In a 2013 law review article comparing the antitrust pursuit against Google to the Microsoft case, Mr. Manne was more succinct: “Microsoft’s market position was unassailable ... until it wasn’t.”

Question: How much money was raised by the event in total?

She was joined by a sizable crew of socialites, designers, models and do-gooding stars like Dakota Johnson and Michelle Rodriguez, many of whom opened their own wallets once the bidding began. (In a Milan season largely absent major front-row star power, it was the most celebrity-fueled gathering so far.) Isabeli Fontana, the Brazilian supermodel who was called onstage to hawk a six-liter bottle of Moët & Chandon (as well as a trip to Épernay, in France’s Champagne country), was herself the winner of a 14-day vacation in the Maldives. Ms. Klum, auctioning an 11-foot-tall polyurethane snail sculpture by a collective called the Cracking Art Group, decided it must be hers. “Vito, I want the snail!” she called to Vito Schnabel, her art-dealer and -curator boyfriend. Twenty thousand euros (about $22,383) later, it was hers. Altogether, the evening raised $1.6 million.

Question: What was the main demographic of Chinese households that bough stock directly?

Credit Suisse estimated in a research note this week that 80 percent of urban Chinese households held stakes in the stock market, either directly or through equity funds that invest in it. By midway through this year, 8.8 percent of all Chinese households had bought stocks directly, and the vast majority were urban dwellers, according to the China Household Finance Survey, conducted by the Southwestern University of Finance and Economics in Chengdu. Under Mr. Xi, the government has urged households to invest in the stock market to meet several economic imperatives: to generate more capital for state-run companies being weaned off bank loans, to strengthen the private companies that create many of the country’s jobs, and to lift the confidence of consumers so that they will play a bigger role in driving economic growth.

Question: Why do students feel overwhelmed?

Conducted by the Cooperative Institutional Research Program at the University of California, Los Angeles’s Higher Education Research Institute for almost 50 years, the survey assesses hundreds of matters ranging from political views to exercise habits. It is considered one of the most comprehensive snapshots of trends among recent high school seniors and is of particular interest to people involved in mental well-being. “It’s a public health issue,” said Dr. Anthony L. Rostain, a psychiatrist and co-chairman of a University of Pennsylvania task force on students’ emotional health. “We’re expecting more of students: There’s a sense of having to compete in a global economy, and they think they have to be on top of their game all the time. It’s no wonder they feel overwhelmed.”

Question: A director of what is James Roundell?

“In the old days you had a small market. Now globalization is a huge factor,” said James Roundell, a director at the London and New York dealer and adviser Dickinson, who, while working at Christie’s in 1987, represented the winning Japanese telephone bidder for Van Gogh’s “Sunflowers.” That $39.9 million was the first of the modern “art boom“ prices. “There’s a lot of fashion involved, and people are buying for show,” Mr. Roundell said. “I’m not sure that many of them are buying for the love of the object. For some, particularly wealthy Americans, it’s all about playing the market. Back in the early 20th century, collectors would buy a painting, live with it in their own home and leave it to a museum. Now it’s about acquisition, not collecting.”

Question: What is the name of the church congregation in the story?

The city’s population of children in foster care hit its peak in the early 1990s, amid a crack epidemic, topping 49,000 in December 1991. Since then, the numbers have steadily declined, in part because of a shift in strategy that seeks to keep families unified as long as possible while addressing underlying problems in the household. On Sunday, officials from the children’s services agency addressed the Holy Child Jesus congregation at a Spanish-language morning Mass and at an English-language midday Mass. The appearance of the baby last month was celebrated in the parish as a message of hope. Some have taken to calling the boy Emmanuel. The Rev. Christopher R. Heanue, a parochial vicar at the church, has nicknamed him John the Baptist. During one of the Sunday services, the church’s pastor, Bishop Octavio Cisneros, referred to the baby as “our little one.” “I would like to express our gratitude to you in person for taking care of the baby that was found here Thanksgiving week, the start of this very special time of the year,” Ms. McKnight told congregants at the midday Mass. The baby, she reported, was “thriving” in his foster home. “But,” she said, “this little one has come to represent something greater.” She then introduced the agency’s “call to action” on adoption. After the services, Bishop Cisneros said he was hopeful about the campaign.

Question: John Kasich was advised politicians of which state to accept the President's health coverage program?

To the east, Gov. John Kasich of Ohio told a group of Montana Republicans this week that they would be crazy not to embrace the president’s program of health coverage for the poor. “I gotta tell you, turning down your money back to Montana on an ideological basis, when people can lose their lives because they get no help, doesn’t make a lot of sense to me,” he said, in remarks reported by the Great Falls Tribune. Nearly every proposal in the State of the Union address polls with majority approval, nationwide. The great issue of the early 21st century is how to elevate a stagnant middle class. When 80 people hold the same amount of wealth as 3.6 billion of the world’s poorest, that equation of inequality can catch the attention of even the most heartless.

Question: Why should the bureau direct more water into rivers?

The bureau is in the meantime coming under fire from lawmakers of both parties for failing to meet the challenges of today’s searing drought. Representative Kevin McCarthy, the majority leader and a Republican from California’s parched inland, has criticized the bureau’s efforts in his state. Lawmakers like Mr. McCarthy are particularly furious that the bureau and the State of California continue to direct scarce water into rivers to support fish habitat, even as farms wither and families struggle to make do with less water.

Question: What kind of shrimp is served?

This appetizer aside, seafood is Orama’s strength. The high-quality shrimp and lobster cocktail gained zip with a chunky sauce of diced tomatoes, olive oil and Fresno chiles. The grilled octopus, another appetizer, was meaty and tender and presented on a bed of fennel, red onions, capers and roasted tomatoes, all caramelized with a balsamic vinegar. The winning crab cake, gently held together with Dijon mustard and mayonnaise and coated in crunchy Panko breadcrumbs, was laden with jumbo lump meat pieces. The shrimp Santorini — jumbo shrimp in a smooth and garlicky tomato sauce, with pieces of feta — was hearty and comforting. But we fawned over the crispy sea bass the most. The entire fish is first grilled, then given a quick fry before being glazed with a spicy sweet-and-sour sauce and topped with a stir-fry of Napa cabbage, sliced bell peppers and button and enoki mushrooms. The tasty and crisp exterior revealed a moist fish inside.

Question: How many countries banned auto racing after the incident?

Mercedes withdrew from the race after midnight, with Fangio leading, but the race ran to the end on Sunday, with Hawthorn winning.

Question: What does Jean-Marie Le Pen believe immigrants will do?

The first posters highlighted hostility to migrants — “Two Million Unemployed is Two Million Immigrants Too Many!” reads one from 1978. “Immigrants weigh on the economic life of our country,” Jean-Marie Le Pen told an interviewer that year — words that could have come from his daughter. “Immigration was its central theme,” writes the historian Valérie Igounet about the National Front’s early days. “Rejection of immigration, this is what it is has been for more than 40 years,” Laurent Bouvet, a political scientist who specializes in the National Front, said in an interview. “There’s this side of them, a hierarchy of civilizations.”

Question: You can download itunes stuff to multiple computers as long as what?

A. Syncing files through Dropbox is one way to share them between computers, but if you bought the tracks you want to copy from Apple, you have an easier way to get them. You can freely download music and other content you have previously purchased from the iTunes Store to additional computers, as long as you are logged into iTunes with the same Apple ID account you used when you bought the items.

Question: What was the public reception like in response to Apple's new iPhone release?

Each Saturday, Farhad Manjoo and Mike Isaac, technology reporters at The New York Times, review the week’s news, offering analysis and maybe a joke or two about the most important developments in the tech industry. Farhad: Howdy, Mike! What’s going on with you? Sorry, I don’t have some kind of funny intro this week. I’m just pretty tired. I need a nap. Mike: I had a root canal on Friday and my dog won’t stop eating our drywall. Other than that, life is grand. Farhad: Sounds fantastic. OK, let’s go through some tech news. Apple announced it sold 13 million new iPhones in its opening weekend — which, like everything with Apple, some people thought was really awesome and others thought was meh. Google unveiled some new Nexus phones, tablets and a Chromecast streaming device. Those were fine and also unexciting — smartphones changed everything and yet, man, are they boring. Mike: I have a seriously difficult time caring about phones now. Every announcement is just “look at this cool new processor we put inside.” Yawn.

Question: Who is not so different from Heidi?

In this way and in others, Ms. Moss is not so different from Heidi, who calls herself, “a highly informed spectator.” Or from Peggy, who Ms. Moss said that she sometimes imagined as Heidi’s older cousin. “I do think they would have liked each other for sure,” she said. Both triumph in their careers and struggle in their relationships. Scoop Rosenbaum, Heidi’s on-again, off-again boyfriend (played here by Jason Biggs), tells her, pompously and accurately, that she belongs to “a generation of disappointed women. Interesting, exemplary, even sexy, but basically unhappy.”

Question: What makes for an enjoyable read?

The sections on art and writing are, for the most part, banal — predictable musings about whether characters ought to be “likable” or not, and the pleasures of rereading favorite short books. It’s the chapters about Mr. Hamid’s own life and his meditations on Pakistan’s tumultuous recent history that command attention — and call out for a volume of their own. Like so many characters in his fiction, Mr. Hamid seems to be of two minds about many things — especially the country of his birth. One moment he is lamenting the hazards of life in Pakistan, where death can come in the form of militant terror attacks and American drone strikes, and where one can be killed for “being liberal, for being mystical, for being in politics, the army or the police, or for simply being in the wrong place at the wrong time.”

Question: What's farm house is accredited with being inspired by "Wurthering Heights?"

The long hike across the West Yorkshire moors passed over hills peppered with scrubby grass, through fields of heather and over jagged rocks and gurgling streams. Along the way I’d been severely scolded by more than one chattering red grouse, and ignored by innumerable flocks of grazing sheep. Eventually I’d made it all the way to Top Withens, a ruined farmhouse whose setting was said to have been the inspiration for Emily Brontë’s “Wuthering Heights.” Sunburned and tired after the long walk, I needed refreshment.

Question: The Afghan safe haven was home of who?

This border-straddling ISIS sanctuary must be eliminated, just as the Afghan safe haven of Al Qaeda was after 9/11 (before the disastrous distraction of Iraq). Raqqa is much closer to Europe than Tora Bora. ISIS has effective terrorists but indifferent soldiers. They are beatable. Kurdish militias — not the U.S. military by any means — have made rapid inroads. They and other local forces can help. But Obama does not have the will. “Let’s assume we send 50,000 troops into Syria,” he said in Turkey. “What happens when there’s a terrorist attack generated from Yemen?” That’s a straw-man game unworthy of the president. Its subtext: Because you can’t solve all the problems of the world, solve none. ISIS in Syria and Iraq is the core of the terrorist threat to Europe and America today. So destroy it.

Question: The Iran government has imposed huge fees on Turkish what?

“They’re not closed — there’s a lot of smuggling, people have to live” in Syria, said Savas M. Ozaydemir, a leading Eskisehir industrialist with holdings in roofing tile manufacturing, wiring manufacture and real estate. “But of course, it might be 30 percent of what it was.” The route around Iraq and Syria through Iran is much longer and costlier — and Iran has imposed a hefty fee on Turkish trucks, ostensibly because they may fill up on subsidized diesel fuel while in Iran. Turkey’s strong support for democracy in Syria and for the removal of Syria’s president, Bashar al-Assad, an Iranian ally, have not helped.

Question: Does Mayor Bloomberg consider New York a safe city?

Still, advocates have cheered the improved “hit rate” on police stops and the decline in the total number of innocent people stopped: In each of Mr. Bloomberg’s last three years in office, less than 12 percent of stops led to arrests or summonses. And as the mayor seeks to assure residents that New York remains “the safest big city in America,” citing a drop so far this year in overall crime, the number of recorded stops has also continued to fall sharply. In the first three months of this year, officers conducted 7,135 stops, about half of the total over the same period last year. Some close to the former mayor have expressed concerns.

Question: Why is Dr. Ohayon treading gingerly?

Now he has returned to the research: In the Green Neuroscience Laboratory, a sandboxlike table is home to small robot used to model neural network behavior. The research group recently published work exploring the basis of neural activity needed to support movement in an environment. But Dr. Ohayon is treading gingerly, looking for ways to ensure that his findings are not misused. “We have to treat neuroscience and robotics like we treat biological and chemical weapons,” he said. Dr. Lam and Dr. Ohayon have decided that all of their research projects must have two components.

Question: What does research demonstrate about preventive care?

But what about prevention? In certain situations, early spending on someone’s health will stop an expensive disease in its tracks, reducing future spending. Giving people health insurance often enables them to get just this sort of preventive care — and Obamacare requires insurers to offer most preventive services without charging any co-payments. You might expect health spending to jump initially, then slow in future years as people benefit from new prevention. But research shows that even preventive care rarely ends up saving money.

Question: Who did Mr. Robins represent?

Mr. Robins sued under a part of the credit law that provides damages of up to $1,000 without proof of direct harm, and he sought to represent a class of people with similar claims. Spokeo responded that Congress did not have the power to create a legal right to sue for plaintiffs who have suffered no direct and concrete injuries. The United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit last year disagreed. “A plaintiff can suffer a violation of the statutory right without suffering actual damages,” a unanimous three-judge panel ruled.
