Question: What other option do you have to hear a person's voice?

Apple’s iMessage has an audio-chat feature that allows you to send voice messages to friends on the same platform as text messages. Many apps have similar features, including WhatsApp and WeChat. Then there is the actual phone, which I’m told is the basis of these app-filled devices we all have. If you really want to hear someone’s voice, you can simply call her.

Answer: call

Question: What motivated Mr. Cooper's character going to London?

The film might have felt fresh and invigorating in, say, 1996. That’s when “Big Night,” a much-admired foodie movie, was released. In recent years, though, mercurial chefs, photogenic plates of grub and kitchen dramatics have been everywhere, especially reality television, both lowbrow and high-end. The food-as-art world has become a bit tiresome, except to those who live in it or can afford to eat this stuff five nights a week. And so pretty much everything in “Burnt,” which was directed by John Wells from a screenplay by Steven Knight and a story by Michael Kalesniko, is something we’ve seen before, though perhaps not so slickly rendered. Mr. Cooper plays Adam Jones, a hot chef in Paris until he flamed out, thanks to a self-destructive personality abetted by substance abuse. As the story begins in earnest, he has turned up in London, determined to make a new start and reclaim his culinary stature.

Question: when did the Probate judge schedule the opportunity for the motion to be heard?

Probate Judge Clifford L. Klein of the Los Angeles County Superior Court set a new hearing date, tentatively for late January, to consider the motion from Mr. Redstone’s lawyers to dismiss the suit. The judge said that he found no urgency in the matter because of the quality of health care that Mr. Redstone now receives. Meanwhile, no other action is being taken. Mr. Redstone is the executive chairman of Viacom and CBS and controls about 80 percent of the voting stock in the two media companies. While the legal dispute concerns his personal life, the questions about his health have raised broader issues about his role leading a media empire that has a combined market value of $45 billion. Mr. Redstone’s total compensation for the fiscal year that ended Sept. 30, 2014, was $13.2 million at Viacom and $10.8 million at CBS.

Question: What was Wilkins granted a patent for in 1988?

Mr. Wilkins, who died at 90 on Monday in Las Vegas, tried but failed to patent his tub, which meant it could proliferate with abandon. It became a fixture of hotel love nests everywhere. (He was, however, granted Patent No. D294290 in 1988 for a tub shaped like a champagne glass, which also became popular at Cove Haven.) In 1971, in a two-page photo spread complete with a smooching couple, Life magazine gushed about the bubble-brimming, red-tiled “sweetheart tub” in Cove Haven’s mirrored bathrooms. “A surfeit of affluent vulgarity,” the magazine said, apparently good-humoredly.

Question: What is the quality of childcare?

So where do we go from here? Slaughter focuses on high-quality child care, and that’s a great place to start. For 60 percent of American households with children age 6 and under, every adult in the household is working. Meanwhile, experts tell us that most child care is mediocre to poor, including care by relatives — who are often too busy trying to get work done themselves. Blair faults Slaughter for “woolliness” about solutions and an avoidance of the “political system.” And indeed, today’s Congress is a huge part of the stall. But we can’t be vague about the political challenge. Perhaps surprisingly, the parts of the country that most desperately need great child care are the red states. The Republican states are poorer and have a higher rate of single motherhood and divorce, so mothers face more need to work, often in low-end jobs that don’t allow payment for quality care. The need is there. And so is some surprising support. Endorsing the Strong Start for America’s Children Act is an organization called Fight Crime: Invest in Kids, a national bipartisan nonprofit made up of nearly 5,000 police chiefs, sheriffs, prosecutors and others who see investment in child care as crime prevention.

Question: How long was the longest N.F.L.'s home skid?

TITANS 42, JAGUARS 39 Tennessee ended the N.F.L.’s longest home skid at 11 games. The Titans had not won on their own field since Oct. 12, 2014, when a blocked field-goal attempt helped them beat, coincidentally, Jacksonville.

The Jaguars’ Blake Bortles threw for 322 yards and five touchdowns, setting a franchise record for touchdown passes in a season (27).

Question: What did Mr Heastie believe could be done to fix the scandals that have shaken Albany?

For his part, Mr. Heastie, through a spokesman, declined to comment on Mr. Silver’s case. In comments to reporters last week, however, he said he was “just not sure” what new ethics laws could be passed to stop the series of scandals that have shaken Albany, noting that several new laws passed last spring have yet to take effect. “What do you think legislatively we could do that would respond to what either Sheldon Silver or Dean Skelos is on trial for?” he said. That is not to say that legislators will not take another crack at addressing ethics in the coming session. Mr. Kolb, for instance, suggested a cap on outside income, an issue that has percolated through the Silver and Skelos trials. New bills to make the Legislature full time, and to increase lawmakers’ pay, may be pursued, a cause taken up by editorial boards whose outrage continues to boil at scandals in the capital.

Question: How many patients were infected with carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae at Advocate Lutheran General Hospital?

Duodenoscopes have been implicated in similar outbreaks at other hospitals. In 2013, 39 patients at Advocate Lutheran General Hospital in Park Ridge, Ill., were infected with carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE), also the cause of the infections in Los Angeles. In January, officials at Virginia Mason Hospital in Seattle acknowledged that 32 patients had been infected with CRE by duodenoscopes from November 2012 to early 2014. Eleven patients died, but it is not clear that the infections were the cause, as they had other serious medical problems.

Question: What race is overindexed to Twitter?

Asked whether the mostly male culture of Silicon Valley is likely to change, Mr. Sacca, one of Twitter’s major investors, said, “It’s changing, slowly. The numbers are really clear. Companies are almost entirely run by white guys. The boards are almost entirely white guys.” And yet, he said: “Look at the user base of Twitter. You have black users overindexed to Twitter, and yet we don’t have any representation of that audience in the upper management or the board of that company, and that’s just weird.

Question: What have colleges done to prices?

The third force at work is what economists call price discrimination. Businesses of all sorts have an incentive to charge different prices to different consumers based on their willingness and ability to pay. Movie theaters, for example, charge children less than adults for a ticket. Colleges have increasingly followed this practice by raising published prices and offering more financial aid based on a family’s resources. I often joke that Harvard should complete the process by setting tuition at $1 billion a year. But that sticker price applies only to the children of Bill Gates. Everyone else gets a special price, just for you.

Question: what is redstone's meal of choice?

In the suit, filed last week, Manuela Herzer, who once had a romantic relationship with Mr. Redstone, said that he had been unable to “communicate reliably or competently manage his own health care” for weeks. The petition specifically asked that the court decide whether Ms. Herzer was improperly removed on Oct. 16 from control of an advanced health care directive that put her in charge of his health decisions. Philippe Dauman, the chief executive of Viacom, has since been put in control of Mr. Redstone’s medical care. The petition included personal details, including claims that Mr. Redstone is incontinent, requires suctioning to remove phlegm up to 20 times day, is “obsessed with eating steak” even while on a feeding tube, and “demands, to the extent he can be understood, to engage in sexual activity every day.”

Question: What does Nadal say the sport is?

Rafael Nadal expressed a similar sentiment. “Being young or not, I think, is not an excuse at all,” Nadal, 29, said of the 20-year-old Kyrgios. “I have been 16 when I arrived to this tour.

And the most important thing: We are in front of kids. Our sport is a gentleman’s sport. It’s a sport about respect.”

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: Who plays Igor in "Victor Frankenstein"?

‘Trumbo’ (R, 2:04) This clunker about the blacklisted screenwriter Dalton Trumbo (Bryan Cranston) tells a great-man story with a patchwork of fact and fiction, mixing in the odd bit of newsreel with a great many dull, visually flat and poorly lighted dramatic scenes. Jay Roach directed. (Dargis) ★ ‘Truth’ (R, 2:01) The title of “Truth,” a gripping, beautifully executed journalistic thriller about the events that ended Dan Rather’s career as a CBS anchorman, should probably be appended with a question mark. More than most docudramas about fairly recent events, it is so well-written and acted that it conveys an eerie illusion of veracity. (Holden) ‘Victor Frankenstein’ (PG-13, 1:49) A pop romp that exhumes Mary Shelley’s famous monster-maker (James McAvoy) for a jaunty bromance with his bestie, Igor (Daniel Radcliffe). It’s a hyperventilated resurrection, larded with cheerful violence and self-regarding smiles. (Dargis)

Question: What was the name of the distant relative of the Triceratops that was the size of a spaniel?

Paleontologists have discovered a distant relative of Triceratops in western China that lived 160 million years ago. Named Hualianceratops wucaiwanensis, the plant-eater stood on its hind legs and was about the size of a spaniel. Hualianceratops and another dinosaur from the region, named Yinlong downsi, are the two oldest known ceratopsians, so-called horned dinosaurs, although neither the Hualianceratops nor Yinlong had horns. There were dozens of species of ceratopsians, but Triceratops, which lived in North America about 65 million years ago, is the best known. “These small dinosaurs were related to Triceratops, but very distantly,” said Catherine A. Forster, a paleontologist at George Washington University and one of the team who discovered Hualianceratops. She and her colleagues recovered a partial skull and hind leg, and described their findings in the journal PLOS One.

Question: The group "Icona Pop" has what nationality?

This being Italy, the pace was leisurely and the mood festive. Between furious rounds of auctioneering and a live set from Debbie Harry, the dinner’s main course was still coming out at midnight — and even the presence of Naomi Campbell at the podium to introduce the evening’s Award of Courage honoree, Renzo Rosso, the founder of Diesel and the chairman of Only the Brave, the parent company of Maison Margiela and Marni, didn’t cow conversationalists until she demanded testily, “Can you please be quiet? I’ll start again.” “I try to do my best to make a better world,” said Mr. Rosso, whose Only the Brave Foundation battles inequality and promotes sustainable development worldwide, in encouraging the crowd to follow his example. “The world needs more people like us. Spend more time to be positive.” The dinner portion wrapped up (or was it that the after-party began?) with a bouncy performance by Icona Pop, the Swedish electronic music duo. “We were first of all very honored to be part of such a great event,” said Caroline Hjelt, one of the pair. “We didn’t even think. We said yes, yes, yes.”

Question: What is the other major form of beer beside lager?

We all agreed signs pointed toward a lager renaissance. “It’s just a cool time for lagers,” Chase said. Why now? Aside from an initial distaste for diving into the style that epitomized industrial brewing, many early craft brewers had other reasons for avoiding lagers, one of the two major forms of beer, along with ales. Minimalist lagers, in general, are more difficult to produce than fruity, complex ales. They are subtle, demanding more precision and more specialized equipment. Ales, by contrast, tend to be more forgiving of errors. It’s a little like the syndicated-television landscape painter Bob Ross, who would earnestly advise turning an accidental blob of paint on canvas into “another happy tree.” That works for ales, but with minimalist lagers, that ugly blob stands out as a flaw.

Question: What kind of shop has totems?

Next door is Gucci, the first American store to open under the guidance of the new creative director, Alessandro Michele. His vision — which emphasizes the brand’s traditional marks, logos and patterns, with a little extra naturalist flair — is an optimal fit for this location, as close to a fast-food environment as one can get while purchasing a reversible nylon bomber for $1,400, or a polo shirt with a snake embroidered into the collar for $810. The store is large and spare, not contemplative so much as blunt, and emphasizes items (like three-stripe sneakers and logo-print handbags) that are identifiable to even the most confused shopper. The store is currently carrying the cruise collection, but still it captures the conflict between Mr. Michele’s responsibilities to the brand as a source of innovation and as a source of gift-shop totems, two approaches to luxury that don’t always complement each other.

Question: When did Gallardo join the team?

The active leader among pitchers is Yovani Gallardo, with 12. Gallardo, 29, was traded before the season from the Brewers to the Rangers in the American League, so his opportunities to add to that total will be limited. Bumgarner was lauded for his astonishing postseason pitching performance last year, but he has some pop in his bat, too.

Question: Amtrak's relationship with which state soured last week?

“Amtrak’s leadership must reflect and determine how they can better manage their current funding to avoid these types of delays in the future,” he said in a statement. Amtrak also depends on money from states, and its relationship with Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey soured last week. On Friday, Mr. Christie accused Amtrak of “abject neglect” of its infrastructure. He said he had asked New Jersey’s attorney general to determine how the state could make sure that the nearly $100 million it pays Amtrak each year was being used properly. Amtrak officials countered that New Jersey Transit’s payments mostly go toward operating costs, like train dispatching and inspections, and for electricity to run the trains, and that in the 2014 fiscal year, for example, only about $13.6 million was left for system upgrades.

Question: What does Ross have a lot of with regard to her subjects?

Ross has said she writes only about people she likes. In her introduction to “Reporting Always,” she elaborates on this reportorial ethos: “I have never wanted to write about anybody who did not want to be written about.” She writes “only what can be observed, what I see and hear and never what the subject might be ‘thinking.’ ” Ross’s respect and fondness for her subjects does not drain her profiles of acuity. A default tone of light irony offers a built-in distance. And naturally a point of view is implicit in Ross’s choice of focus and her selection of details. She has a knack for locating the peripheral actor — the bartender at a gathering of Beat writers, the balloon salesman at a society function — who makes a tableau snap into focus. But where exactly Ross stands in relation to her material is generally impossible to confirm. Hemingway loved her article on him, even though others told him he ought to have been offended by the way Ross captured his stagy sportsman’s shtick.

Question: What kind of funds are E.T.F.s?

Propelled by these robust asset flows, the company earned $822 million, or $4.84 a share, up 9 percent from the quarter a year ago. As has been the case in recent years, the fund giant’s booming exchange traded fund business has driven this growth. E.T.F.s are investment funds that trade like stocks and are linked to a wide variety of stock and bond indexes. Sophisticated investors have come to rely on the funds because they provide liquidity in areas of the market that traditionally have been hard to trade, like emerging markets and leveraged loans. Unlike other fund companies, BlackRock does not have any leveraged loan E.T.F.s.

Question: What player didn't receive the Most Valuable Player award, but probably should have?

Persuade Tim Duncan not to retire? Check. Bring back Danny Green on a below-market contract? Check. Get the league’s top free-agent prize in LaMarcus Aldridge? Check. Persuade David West to join the team practically as a volunteer? Check. Enter the season as one of the two or three teams most likely to win it all for roughly the 17th consecutive season? Check. The San Antonio Spurs have some sort of front-office cheat code. James Harden may have been robbed of a Most Valuable Player Award, regardless of how good Stephen Curry’s team was, but the Houston Rockets were a bit of a mirage, offering little beyond the bearded bon vivant. Dwight Howard, once a league darling, has faded, but the team could play more well-rounded basketball this season after adding Ty Lawson.

Question: Who's story is this movie?

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.”

Answer: Danny’s

Question: What does Fred Alnajjar hope the new contract includes?

The union will most likely not start final negotiations with either G.M. or Ford until a vote is taken on the Fiat Chrysler deal. Mr. Williams said he expected the deal to set a pattern for talks at G.M. and Ford, but left open the possibility that those companies, which are more profitable, might be asked for better economic terms. “The pattern is unique to each company,” Mr. Williams said. Earlier on Tuesday, workers at Fiat Chrysler’s sport utility vehicle plant in Detroit said they were hopeful that a deal that preserved jobs could be reached. “I’m just hoping I can keep coming back every day so I can provide and build for my family,” said Jeremiah Meyerhoff, an entry-level worker at the plant who was hired three years ago and earns about $19 an hour. Another entry-level worker, Fred Alnajjar, said he hoped the new contract included raises for all union members.

Earlier on Tuesday, workers at Fiat Chrysler’s sport utility vehicle plant in Detroit said they were hopeful that a deal that preserved jobs could be reached. “I’m just hoping I can keep coming back every day so I can provide and build for my family,” said Jeremiah Meyerhoff, an entry-level worker at the plant who was hired three years ago and earns about $19 an hour. Another entry-level worker, Fred Alnajjar, said he hoped the new contract included <hl> raises <hl> for all union members.


Question: What was the name of the officer who shot VonDerrit D. Meyers Jr.?

Prosecutors in St. Louis will not charge the police officer who fatally shot VonDerrit D. Myers Jr. in October, a shooting that renewed tensions with law enforcement weeks after Michael Brown was killed by an officer in nearby Ferguson. In a report released Monday, Jennifer M. Joyce, the circuit attorney for St. Louis, found that Mr. Myers “produced a gun” during the encounter with the officer, Jason Flanery, who was working an off-duty security detail for a private company. Police had said Mr. Myers, 18, who was black, shot a stolen handgun before Officer Flanery, who is white, returned fire. Prosecutors said in their report that witnesses had seen gunfire coming from both directions and from two guns and that a semiautomatic pistol had been recovered next to Mr. Myers’s body. Mr. Myers’s family disputed the police account and insisted that he had been unarmed. Protesters marched for several nights after the shooting, and some drew parallels between Mr. Myers’s death and that of Mr. Brown, an unarmed black 18-year-old shot by a white Ferguson officer in August. In a statement, Ms. Joyce expressed condolences to the Myers family and called his death “a tragic situation for our entire community.”

Question: What effect do video cameras have on police behavior?

Dashboard cameras are far more prevalent — more so among state police and highway patrol forces than among local police forces — but experts say they know of no national tally of those, either. Yet despite the growing use of police video cameras, evidence is mixed about what effect they are having on police behavior. Experts say that cameras probably change for the better how the police and the public treat each other, but they do not know how much. And the fact that one viral video after another surfaces, showing officers treating civilians harshly, demonstrates the limits of that change.

Question: Who seized two television stations?

Reporters in Istanbul covered a police raid on their own offices on Wednesday, as the Turkish government seized control of two television stations and a newspaper group critical of the governing party just four days before national elections. Scuffles between officers and reporters unfolded on live television as the police broke into the shared headquarters of the two channels, KanalTurk and Bugun TV, and ushered in court-appointed trustees who were placed in charge of the company that owns the media group, Koza Ipek Holding.

Question: who is the president of the European central bank?

FRANKFURT — A strong indication on Friday that the European Central Bank is on the verge of aggressive action to stimulate the economy, just as the Federal Reserve is dialing back its stimulus, helped push the euro to its lowest level against the dollar since 2010. Mario Draghi, the president of the European Central Bank, said in an interview published in the German newspaper Handelsblatt that the risk that the central bank would not be able to meet its main task of keeping inflation from being too low or too high was greater than it had been six months ago. At 0.3 percent in November, inflation in the eurozone was far below the central bank’s official target of close to 2 percent. Investors interpreted Mr. Draghi’s comments to mean that the central bank is moving closer to broad-based purchases of government bonds, the same kind of “quantitative easing” that the Fed used to push down market interest rates in the United States — and is phasing out as growth picks up.

Question: Which senator is the majority leader?

WASHINGTON —  Senator Benjamin L. Cardin, the senior Democrat on the Foreign Relations Committee and a prominent Jewish voice in Congress, said on Friday that he would oppose the Iran nuclear deal, increasing the chance that President Obama will have to use a veto to prevent it from being scuttled. While the president has been working to gain enough support to block a vote on a resolution to disapprove the deal and thus avoid a diplomatic embarrassment, Mr. Cardin’s announcement puts opponents close to securing enough votes to overcome any filibuster. Senator Mitch McConnell, the majority leader, said on Friday that it would be “outrageous” for Democrats to prevent a vote.

Question: Independent studies found what strikes had more of what than officials admitted?

A front-page news analysis by Scott Shane, for example, included this memorable paragraph, not in a quote but in the author’s own voice: “Every independent investigation of the strikes has found far more civilian casualties than administration officials admit. Gradually, it has become clear that when operators in Nevada fire missiles into remote tribal territories on the other side of the world, they often do not know who they are killing, but are making an imperfect best guess.” (Mr. Shane’s knowledge comes in part from his book, due for September publication, on the 2011 drone strike that killed Anwar al-Awlaki, the American-born imam.)

Question: Who is the managing director of the Shanghai-based consultancy Automotive Foresight?

Ford said it was in talks with Tencent, maker of the popular WeChat messaging app, to develop messaging functions for the manufacturer’s cars in China. David Huang, a senior engineer who heads Ford’s Asia Pacific connected-services unit, said, “People want to stay connected, stay informed and stay entertained all the time, even when they’re driving.” Drivers would sync their phone to their car’s software system and control WeChat functions, chosen by Tencent and certified by Ford as safe, through voice commands or limited use of buttons. Yale Zhang, managing director of the Shanghai-based consultancy Automotive Foresight, said connectivity was a deciding factor for Chinese customers buying a car. “Those kind of things are the fundamental things people will consider,” he added. Many Chinese use WeChat’s free voice messaging feature instead of phone calls, holding up their smartphones like walkie-talkies as they speak, tap and listen to replies. Rivals including Daimler and Nissan are also looking at ways to give drivers safe, hands-free access to mobile apps in China, home to the world’s largest number of smartphone users. WeChat is China’s most prevalent chatting app, with about half a billion active monthly users.

Question: What did Shin Dong-Hyuk confess to last month?

Shin Dong-hyuk, a prominent defector who shocked the world several years back with his disturbing tales of torture in North Korean gulags, confessed last month that parts of the personal history he had told the public were inaccurate. His dramatic story, which included being forced to watch the execution of his mother and brother, led to a lot of publicity and his role as a key witness for a United Nations inquiry into North Korean atrocities. He now says that instead of growing up in the notorious Camp 14, where most prisoners go to die, he spent most of his time in the less draconian Camp 18.

Question: Who played interference?

Pekka Rinne made 19 saves for the Predators, who fell to 11-6-3 with their third straight shutout loss. Nashville has not scored in a franchise-record 213 minutes 47 seconds, since Miikka Salmomaki’s goal at 6:13 of the second period in a 3-2 win over Anaheim last Tuesday. Nashville outshot the Rangers by 14-3 in a scoreless first period. The Predators spent 7:21 on the power play, as Dan Girardi (interference), Keith Yandle (holding) and Stepan (double-minor for high-sticking) committed penalties. Still, the Predators were stymied by an aggressive Lundqvist, who challenged Nashville’s shooters throughout. Lundqvist’s play kept the Rangers in the game, and Nash’s sixth goal of the season at 4:32 of the second period gave them the lead. The goal was Nash’s fourth in the Rangers’ past two games. BRUINS 4, MAPLE LEAFS 3 David Krejci scored the only goal in a shootout and Patrice Bergeron extended his point streak to eight games as Boston won in Toronto to sweep a home-and-home series.

Question: What is the first and last name of the leader of the Golden State Warriors?

Ranking second to James on the team is Kyrie Irving, who rated at 25.1 in the one finals game he played before being injured. Of players still active, the next ranked, at 19.4, is Matthew Dellavedova, the undrafted Australian whose rate in the regular season was 12.6. That is a steep drop-off. Despite being the league’s most valuable player and the clear leader of the Golden State Warriors, Stephen Curry has a far lower figure than James in the finals, 30.5. And he benefits from teammates who are more useful than Dellavedova, like Klay Thompson (24.5). More conventional statistics back up James’s importance. He leads all players in the playoffs in minutes played, field goals made and attempted, and assists. In addition to those categories, he leads his own team in free throws made and attempted, defensive and total rebounds, steals, points and turnovers. Rare is the Cleveland offensive play that James does not take part in.
