Question: When were Rand Paul's Facebook avatars, meme's and etc made available to his supporters?

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 did Mr. Hague want to be greeted?

The couple told their architect that they wanted a home that would blend in with its setting yet also incorporate key elements of modern design, such as underfloor heating throughout. “It also needed to have six bedrooms and a central Poggenpohl kitchen,” Mr. Hague said. “I wanted to be able to walk straight into the house at the first-floor level and not to be greeted by the sight of a staircase. Instead, I wanted to be greeted by the flames from a double-sided fireplace, which had been lined up exactly with the front door.”

Question: On which network does "Scream Queens" currently air?

Best Thing That Could Come of This ShowFox has yet to decide whether “Scream Queens” will be renewed — the social media following has been great, but the ratings have been soft. Throw your own opinion in the comment section, but I’ve seen enough; what was occasionally cute and witty once would be hard-pressed to be either a second time. I do, however, want to see a spinoff show, “The Radwells Plus Eight.” In the second hour Tuesday we saw the overprivileged Chad and the daffy Denise, who had become lovers, decide to break up. These two were the best thing about this show; give them eight kids and put them in a sitcom.

Question: Who attended Pope Francis' visit to Congress last month?

More recently, however, Mr. Carson made clear that he would always defend his Adventist beliefs against skeptics. “I’m proud of the fact that I believe what God has said, and I’ve said many times that I’ll defend it before anyone,” Mr. Carson told the Adventist Report in 2013. “If they want to criticize the fact that I believe in a literal six-day creation, let’s have at it, because I will poke all kinds of holes in what they believe.” For theological reasons, Adventism has faced tensions with the Roman Catholic and Baptist Churches over the years. Last spring, Mr. Carson was invited to speak at a Southern Baptist Pastors’ Conference in Ohio, but he faced opposition because of his beliefs and eventually backed out. “Dr. Carson is a Seventh-day Adventist,” a group of pastors from the Baptist organization B21 wrote in protest of his visit. “Their official theology denies the doctrine of hell in favor of annihilation,” they wrote, “and believes that those who worship on Sunday will bear the ‘mark of the beast.’ ” The church has also had a strongly anti-Catholic strain, and when Mr. Carson decided to attend Pope Francis’ visit to Congress last month, Adventist message boards lit up with questions about his presence with the pontiff. Some questioned his referring to the pope as the “Holy Leader” and wondered, “How do such words come from the mouth of a Seventh-day Adventist?”

Question: Where is the Barclays Center located?

For the first time since 1998, and for the fifth time in league history, the All-Star Game made a stop in New York, infusing the arena with a dose of the basketball skill, celebrity presence and general sense of occasion it has lacked for the last three months, given the struggles of the hometown Knicks. The game capped a multiborough weekend spree of brand-sponsored parties, in-store promotional appearances, charity events and various activities vaguely related to basketball, some of which took place at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. In a leisurely game that grew mildly competitive only in the final minutes, the Western Conference beat the Eastern Conference, 163-158, in front of a well-dressed, sellout crowd. The N.B.A. distributed two-thirds of the tickets to its marketing and broadcast partners and affiliates, the participating players and the players’ union, as well as league alumni. The league said that around 1,800 credentials were issued to various media outlets.

Question: In which presidential administration did the Supreme Court hear this case?

Solicitor General Donald B. Verrilli Jr., the Obama administration’s top appellate lawyer, who urged the justices to strike down the law, began his argument with a vivid image. Under the law, he said, “the spouse of a soldier killed in the line of duty cannot receive the dignity and solace of an official notification of next of kin.” In his majority opinion in the case, United States v. Windsor, Justice Anthony M. Kennedy bristled at the unfairness of prohibiting same-sex couples “from being buried together in veterans’ cemeteries.”

Question: Who already faces existential questions about adult diaper sales beginning to overtake baby diapers?

The demographic shift is more pressing in Europe than almost any other major region, save Japan. There are an estimated 28 Europeans 65 or older for every 100 residents ages 20 to 64, almost twice the world average, according to the United Nations, and compared with 24.7 for the United States. By the end of the century, the United Nations expects the European figure to double. Such trends will transform societies, potentially reducing economic growth and increasing stress on public pension systems and requiring more elder care. Japan already faces existential questions in a country where adult diaper sales are beginning to eclipse those of baby diapers.

Question: Why is the Afghan Police Program being expanded?

KABUL, Afghanistan —  With the Afghan security forces gravely challenged by Taliban offensives, the government is moving to rapidly expand the troubled Afghan Local Police program by thousands of members, Afghan and Western officials say. The move to expand the police militias, prompted by the disastrous loss of the northern city of Kunduz to the Taliban almost three weeks ago, is being described by officials speaking privately as an attempt to head off panic in Afghan cities threatened by the insurgents. But the expansion also amounts to an open admission that the United States’ main legacy in Afghanistan — the creation of nationalized police and army forces numbering more than 350,000 members — is failing under pressure even before any final American military withdrawal. On Thursday, President Obama called off that pullout, originally due at year’s end, leaving 9,800 American troops in the country for at least another year.

Question: Who assigned the writer the first foreign assignment

WHAT a reporter carries out grows, inevitably, from the beliefs and standards carried in. For me, those were set out by the Times editor who first assigned me abroad in 1976, A. M. Rosenthal, and by his successors over the years. Abe called for “keeping the paper straight.” He issued the dictum before my first foreign assignment: apartheid South Africa, a country justly seen as an open-and-shut case of oppression. But even there the need to keep the paper straight demanded, Abe said, that we tell not only the story of the oppressed, but that of all the other major players in South Africa’s tragedy, including the Afrikaner people who built the fortress of racial prejudice that the country had become. Those stories might surprise us, he said, and give us a more textured sense of the truth.

Question: What is the slogan on the clothing James wore?

In the Brown mold, James, at 30, has emerged as a leader off the court as he has matured as a player. He was vocal in calling for the removal of the Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling last year. He wore an “I Can’t Breathe” T-shirt to protest acts of police violence, and last month, he called for calm when a white Cleveland policeman was acquitted in the shooting deaths of two black motorists. “In a subtler way, he has had to carry the same kind of burden and use the same kind of wisdom,” Brown said. “For him to have to have the ability to deal with the politics of being back in Cleveland, dealing with the politics of his own team, I have great admiration for what I see as a great contribution by a human being on and off the field. “

Question: What was name of the alliance the rebels formed?

Along with mounting economic pressures, it seemed that the government was willing to give ground for the sake of stability. Similarly, the rebels, who form an alliance known as the Sudanese Revolutionary Front, came to the talks under a new political reality. The regional dynamics that once bolstered them have shifted. With the fall of Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi in Libya and a civil war consuming South Sudan, the rebels no longer seemed as able to garner support from neighbors. Yet some analysts question whether the divided Sudanese government can, or even really wants to, reach a deal right now. “The question is whether the government of Sudan, comprised of the ruling National Congress Party, the military and National Security under President Bashir, is cohesive to make the bold steps, which involve politically difficult sacrifices,” said Alex de Waal, executive director of the World Peace Foundation. With the end of the rainy season, fighting is expected to resume. Commanders in the Sudanese Army still believe that a military victory over the rebels is possible, and they seem to want to delay negotiations until further gains can be made. Another problem is the dizzying number of competing interests in a country awash in rebel movements. In the provinces of Blue Nile and South Kordofan, the Sudanese Peoples Liberation Movement-North, once part of the party that now governs the nation of South Sudan, has been fighting an insurgency since 2011.

Question: What might fairies place in the crib instead?

In folklore, the figure of the changeling often involves an enchanted piece of wood placed in a crib by fairies that a parent finds instead of her baby. The wood might become ill and die, or the fairies might skip the wood altogether and leave a fairy-baby instead, carting the little human off for other purposes. Either way, there’s a particular kind of terror inherent in the situation: to look in a crib expecting to see one’s cooing infant and instead find something inert and unknown. Maurice Sendak’s picture book “Outside Over There” captures the horror with a rich gorgeousness, where the replacement baby is made of ice, and glows milky and terrifying and odd on the page.

Question: how large is the neighborhood?

The boundaries of the neighborhood, which is about 0.6 square mile, are roughly Flushing Avenue to the north, Atlantic Avenue to the south, Vanderbilt Avenue to the west and Classon Avenue to the east. The United States Census Bureau’s 2009-2013 American Community Survey estimated the population as 39 percent white, 36 percent black, 16 percent Hispanic and 5 percent Asian. The 2010 census showed a 149 percent increase in the white population over 2000 and a decline of 29 percent in the number of blacks. The architecture is a mix of wood-frame houses predating the Civil War, Italianate mansions, carriage houses, brownstones, midrise apartment buildings and three- to five-story brick rowhouses. Some are scrupulously restored while others are shedding paint. Here and there, a featureless tower pierces the sky. Pratt Institute is the neighborhood’s centerpiece, its greensward campus’s brick pathways braiding through a sculpture garden.

The architecture is a mix of wood-frame houses predating the Civil War, Italianate mansions, carriage houses, brownstones, midrise apartment buildings and three- to five-story brick rowhouses. Some are scrupulously restored while others are shedding paint. Here and there, a featureless tower pierces the sky. Pratt Institute is the neighborhood’s centerpiece, its greensward campus’s brick pathways braiding through a sculpture garden.

The boundaries of the neighborhood, which is about <hl> 0.6 square mile <hl> , are roughly Flushing Avenue to the north, Atlantic Avenue to the south, Vanderbilt Avenue to the west and Classon Avenue to the east.


Question: What has happened with Israel's methods?

Ms. Shurrab says she is focusing her appeals on Mr. Abbas, not Israel, because “he’s responsible for the Palestinian people.” She imagines that Palestinian officials could somehow intervene on her behalf since they coordinate with Israel on security issues. Nabil Abu Rudeineh, Mr. Abbas’s spokesman, did not return a text message. The president’s media department did not respond to an email inquiry. Xavier Abu Eid of the Palestine Liberation Organization, which Mr. Abbas also heads, said in an email that the couple was in “an awful situation that reflects the nightmare that thousands of Palestinian families have due to Israeli apartheid policies,” which “have been dramatically radicalized in the last few years.”

Answer: “have been dramatically radicalized in the last few years.”

Question: Besides being precious what was another attribute of the stones Ms Mizrahi-Rubel was trained to work with?

Ms. Mizrahi-Rubel, 51, who is based in Paris, was trained in working with diamonds and precious colored stones by her grandfather, the well-known diamond specialist Marcel Rubel. Her 20-year career has been built on collaborations with such top French jewelers as Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels and Boucheron. She also has worked at Fred and Mauboussin. Three years ago, she opened an old trunk in the attic of a family country house to rediscover the forgotten archives of her great uncles, John and Robert Rubel. She said the hundreds of drawings, gouaches, patents and even scale models of their designs revealed the unusual style and originality of their Art Deco creations.

Question: Which companies other than Tesla offer apps to unlock cars?

Tesla is not alone in offering those sorts of options; BMW, General Motors and Volvo, among other manufacturers, offer apps that perform similar functions. They are just the latest step in the evolution of the car key away from the standard metal shaft used for decades, and still often used today, to unlock and start cars. Now, car keys — or key fobs, as they are also known — include chips to prevent theft, cannot be duplicated at the local locksmith and often never have to be removed from pockets. But despite the advances, it will be a while, if ever, before smartphone apps entirely replace keys that drivers carry around. Too many problems exist — like a slow data network or a dead phone battery — to rely on smartphones alone, experts say. “The physical key will be with us for years to come,” said Mark Baker, director of engineering for ZF TRW, a manufacturer of automobile systems.

Question: Who is the dean of Brooklyn Law School?

“Knowing you have a little extra security is very comforting and helpful,” said Ms. Friedman, who is from Fair Lawn, N.J. The introduction of the program, called Bridge to Success, comes as law school graduates across the country face increasing competition in a depressed job market that is only slowly recovering from the economic downturn. “This builds on the overall approach that we’ve taken to be very student-centric, to listen to what students need,” said Nicholas W. Allard, dean of Brooklyn Law School. He said it was the school’s strong financial standing, including an endowment of $133 million as of May, that made the program possible.

Question: How long was Siddhartha sheltered from the harshness of the world?

In his life as Vessantara, the Buddha earned his karmic wings and was reborn just one last time as another prince, Siddhartha. For some years, Siddhartha lived a bubble-baby existence. But news of reality, cold and harsh, seeped in. He knew he had to face it, and one night he left home for good, his horse carried aloft by gods so its hoof beats wouldn’t be heard. Then finally, after years of self-searching, he arrived at a letting-go enlightenment, though not before certain celestial no-goodniks tried to block his way. We see two of them, potbellied, green of skin, weapons drawn, clomping across a glazed 15th-century temple tile.

Question: Who was the first to explain chemical reactions involving petroleum compounds?

Mr. Chauvin was the first to explain chemical reactions involving petroleum compounds in which two molecules swap groups of atoms. The reactions, called metathesis (pronounced meh-TATH-eh-sis), which means “changing places,” break and then re-form strong “double bonds” between carbon atoms. That process generally requires high temperatures and immense pressures; metathesis, however, takes place under relatively mild conditions, is often quicker than conventional processes, consumes less energy and produces less waste — advantages for chemical companies and for the environment. For years, chemists were unable to explain how the bonds were being rearranged.

Question: What is the chief distinction of the choreography?

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: What was the defense lawyers name?

He had run a Qaeda training camp in Afghanistan, and then helped to lead a terror cell in Nairobi, Kenya, Mr. Lewin said. Later, Mr. Fawwaz became “Bin Laden’s man in London,” pretending to live peacefully as a Saudi dissident but actually helping Al Qaeda “broadcast its message to the world,” Mr. Lewin told the jury. He said that, Mr. Fawwaz helped to publicize Bin Laden’s 1998 fatwa stating that Muslims should kill Americans anywhere in the world, and he vetted journalists who wanted to interview Bin Laden, who was living in the mountains of Afghanistan. “The defendant’s participation in Al Qaeda conspiracies to kill Americans and attack American buildings is simply overwhelming,” Mr. Lewin said. Mr. Fawwaz’s lawyer, Bobbi C. Sternheim, did not deny that her client knew Bin Laden and had often met with him, depicting them as fellow Saudi exiles seeking to end corruption in their country. “But what we emphatically dispute,” Ms. Sternheim said, “is the allegation that Khaled al-Fawwaz is a member of Al Qaeda, was in cahoots with members of Al Qaeda, to plan, to prosper and to in any way effect the heinous goals of Al Qaeda to commit violence.” She called her client an advocate of “peaceful reform.” The nearly simultaneous attacks on the embassies in Nairobi and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, killed 224 people. The four men convicted each received sentences of life imprisonment. In 2010, Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani was convicted of one count of conspiracy after prosecutors said he had assisted in the attack in Dar es Salaam. Mr. Fawwaz’s trial is expected to last about five weeks, the judge, Lewis A. Kaplan of Federal District Court, has said. Mr. Fawwaz has pleaded not guilty to charges that include conspiracy to kill Americans, to destroy buildings and property of the United States, and to attack national defense utilities. Arrested in 1998 in Britain, Mr. Fawwaz was sent in 2012 to Manhattan to face trial after a long extradition fight. He originally had two co-defendants: one, Nazih Abdul-Hamed al-Ruqai, 50, who had liver cancer, died this month; the other, Adel Abdul Bary, has pleaded guilty.

Question: Which is not only analysis the tone and the rhythm of music but also engages procedural memory ?

While I often mishear words, I seldom mishear music: notes, melodies, harmonies, phrasings remain as clear and rich as they have been all my life (though I often mishear lyrics). There is clearly something about the way the brain processes music that makes it robust, even in the face of imperfect hearing; and, conversely, something about the nature of spoken language that makes it much more vulnerable to deficiencies or distortions. Playing or even hearing music (at least traditional scored music) involves not just the analysis of tone and rhythm — it also engages one’s procedural memory and emotional centers in the brain; musical pieces are held in memory and allow anticipation.

Question: What fills the walk in freezers of contemporary Honolulu restaurants MW and Pig and the Lady?

This exchange suggested some of the challenges facing Noreetuh’s chef, Chung Chow, along with his partners, Jin Ahn and Gerald San Jose. Island seafood and produce fill the walk-ins at contemporary Honolulu restaurants like MW or the Pig and the Lady, but they rarely reach the island of Manhattan. A knowledgeable audience can’t be imported, either. While islanders can be counted on to know exactly which local dish Alan Wong is playing around with, the average New Yorker has almost no idea what the residents of the 50th state eat. Don’t they like … Spam?

Question: Where were the Chanels sent instead of prison?

Most Likely Thing That Could Come of This ShowThe Chanels were sentenced not to prison but to the Palmer Asylum for the Insane.

“Going forward, we will have more security personnel inside,” he said, noting that the protester’s walk to the stage had been obscured by the standing ovation for Ms. Netrebko. “We will be extra careful to have personnel in all the strategic places where they need to be.” Mr. Torgovitsky said that he had tried to minimize the disruption he caused by waiting for the end of “Iolanta,” which he said he enjoyed. And he compared his actions with those of Mr. Putin, who he said had ignored international treaties in Ukraine and the Crimea. “I did just .001 percent of that,” he said. “I did ignore the feelings of Netrebko and Gergiev for sure, but basically hoping to bring this issue visibility and discussion.”

Question: How many photographs did MS. Simpson take between 1987 and 1996 or drag performers?

Between 1987 and 1996, Ms. Simpson (whose birth name is Leslie and who prefers female pronouns when referring to her drag persona) took some 5,000 photographs of drag performers posing in clubs, on the street and on gay-pride parade floats, unwittingly creating a time capsule of an era when drag queens were the de rigueur jesters and goddesses of the underground. The photos are alternately carefree and glamorous, with rising stars like RuPaul, Lady Bunny and Sweetie looking sultry for the camera, and Page Potter Reynolds (the transgender subject of Ms. Simpson’s 2013 photo book, “Pages”) exuding subversive charm in a clown wig.

Question: When Fidel Castro softened his stance on the church, it energized whom?

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

Question: Who are the hosts, referred to as "Mr."?

Though “The Starters’ “ television audience is growing, Mr. Elder and Mr. Melas, with the show’s other personalities, Trey Kerby and Leigh Ellis, have not abandoned podcasting. This season they introduced “The Drop,” a weekly, podcast-only show that is downloaded 70 percent more frequently on average than the podcast of the daily “The Starters” television show, according to the network. Last week’s episode featured references to Katy Perry’s Super Bowl halftime show and a discussion of some of the more handsome N.B.A. stars. “The Starters” TV show has tried to incorporate the lighter elements of “The Basketball Jones” podcast in a way that recreates the spontaneity of its hosts’ old material. On their show last Thursday, in a segment called “Meme Team,” the hosts counted down some of the goofiest moments from the N.B.A. that week. Number one on the countdown was Westbrook’s reaction to being stiffed on a high five by a teammate. In the video, he turned around sharply and glared at the offending player. “That screams cat to me,” Mr. Elder said. “Case closed, right? He’s more like a cat.”

Question: Who was the Secretary of State during this time?

Secretary of State John Kerry met with European ministers over the weekend to discuss harsher economic sanctions against Russia because of the conflict in Ukraine. While that meeting took place in London, Vitaly Mutko, Russia’s minister of sports, tourism and youth, gave one of his periodic reassurances that everything is on target for 2018. It is closer than we may think. “The eyes of the footballing world will be on St. Petersburg on Saturday 25 July,” read a FIFA reminder last week that the World Cup preliminary draw is just months away.

Question: What year did Lorraine's mother buy the North Slope townhouse?

Nevertheless, even as parts of Park Slope are increasingly buffed to a high polish, the area still offers a variety of experience. After living much of the last six decades in the North Slope townhouse her seamstress mother had bought in 1949, Lorraine Leong, a health care administrator, decamped to the southwestern fringe of the neighborhood in 2012, paying $693,000 for a two-bedroom condominium on 12th Street and Fourth Avenue, a thoroughfare where blocky residential buildings have sprung up since a 2003 rezoning. Her son, a “foodie” who lives upstairs, keeps her informed, she said, about “all the great restaurants opening up” on Fifth Avenue and Flatbush Avenue. “Fourth and Fifth Avenues have that diverse mix that Brooklyn always had, and it’s very appealing to me,” said Ms. Leong, who is of Chinese descent. “There are Italians and Latinos still around, and a guy on my corner sells tacos from a little stand for a dollar. You don’t want to lose that.”

Question: What are venture capitalists funding?

Venture capitalists are funding new search start-ups that treat information and the web as legacy products and that focus on actions and apps instead. And while Google, with $65 billion in the bank, can buy any start-up it likes, one company it cannot buy — Apple — is also joining the mobile search fray. On Thursday, Apple released an early, or “beta,” version of the next version of its iOS mobile software, giving iPhone and iPad users the ability to tap Apple’s own search engine for searches of music, apps and local services — allowing them to potentially bypass Google.

Question: How far apart were the two works written?

But everything they say is drawn from works produced two decades apart: “The Diary of a Young Girl: The Definitive Edition,” the unexpurgated version of Frank’s Holocaust journal, and “Letter From a Birmingham Jail,” a rebuke to Southern white clergymen that Dr. King wrote while imprisoned for civil disobedience in Alabama in 1963. “I tried to match passages,” Ms. Vaughn said. She added that when reading Frank’s diary, which is in epistolary form, she would think, “What does she say that might spark a response from him?”
