Question: What country could resume a military training agreement with Nigeria?

That is why the answer to defeating Boko Haram begins and ends with Nigeria. That is not to say that allies cannot help us. My administration would welcome the resumption of a military training agreement with the United States, which was halted during the previous administration. We must, of course, have better coordination with the military campaigns our African allies, like Chad and Niger, are waging in the struggle against Boko Haram. But, in the end, the answer to this threat must come from within Nigeria.

Question: What person said he texted Pierre-Paul shortly after the accident?

To date, most of the communication between the Giants and Pierre-Paul has been by text messages. Mara said he had texted Pierre-Paul in the days after the accident. “He told me that this was a little bump in the road and that he would be back as good as ever,” Mara said. “I’m disappointed he’s not here because this is the best place for him. We have the best training staff in the league and have access to some of the best doctors in the world.” Mara conceded that he was speaking with reporters in an effort to get his message to Pierre-Paul. Mara said the Giants had had little contact with Pierre-Paul’s representatives. Asked what his primary message was to Pierre-Paul, Mara said, “Come home; we miss you.”

Question: What was Tariq holding when the officer chased him?

The State Department had called for a quick and credible inquiry after footage of the beating spread worldwide. Tariq, who was 15 at the time, was spending the summer with relatives in East Jerusalem when violence broke out over the gruesome killing of his cousin Muhammad Abu Khdeir, 16, by Jewish extremists who said they wanted to avenge the kidnapping and killing of three Israeli youths by Palestinian militants in the West Bank. The Israeli authorities said that Tariq was masked and holding a wooden slingshot when the officer chased him. Tariq, who said he had only been watching the clashes, was taken to a hospital and returned to the United States about two weeks later.

Question: Who coached Bayern Munich?

LONDON — Where now for Pep Guardiola and Bayern Munich? The coach and the club have been dodging the wrong questions this week as the club was blasted out of the Champions League by a Spanish opponent for the second straight year. Tuesday’s victory was rendered Pyrrhic from the moment that the Barcelona front three sliced open Bayern’s defense twice in the first half, allowing the Catalan club to rest its important players for other contests to come. It was right for Guardiola and Munich’s chairman, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, to say that their team went out with dignity against “probably the best side in the world.”

Question: How many blocks is the shopping district in Siem Ream?

Siem Reap, the gateway city to Angkor, is renowned for a lot of things — more than 100 ancient temple ruins dot the surrounding jungles — but shopping isn’t one of them. It’s often an afterthought, with visitors snagging the prerequisite temple souvenir. But the heart of the city on the west side of the Siem Reap River is brimming with a clutch of stylish, recently opened boutiques carrying contemporary wares that often reference traditional Khmer culture. The shops are found along narrow lanes and well-trodden streets in a roughly 10-block radius, many owned by well-traveled expatriates breathing new energy into this tourist-oriented city. (Note: U.S. dollars are widely accepted.)

Question: Where does Northern European artists come from?

“She has this extraordinary talent for distilling form, landscape, abstraction and color,” Mr. Kelly said. “Her palette is very unusual. It has a lot to do with that great tradition of Belgian Northern European artists dealing with a quality of light.” So he decided to give the artist her first solo show in the United States, traveling to Belgium recently to choose the paintings and watercolors for the exhibition, which opens Jan. 8 at his 10th Avenue gallery. “It’s impossible to separate Ilse D’Hollander’s work from her personality,” Eric Rinckhout wrote in an essay. “She withdrew into her work as into a house, to seek the rest, order and control she could not find in her head at times.”

Question: How long has it been since Vladimir Putin visited the United Nations?

The applause, of course, is the short-term reason Mr. Putin is coming to the United Nations for the first time in a decade. Because of the Ukraine crisis, he was thrown out of the G-8 countries of leading economic powers, and felt so snubbed at the last G-20 meeting in Australia that he flew home early.

Question: What was more perplexing than the pizza dishes?

The appetizers were more perplexing. As a lot, they looked more interesting than they were. Seared scallops got almost no assistance from a bright orange raw-carrot sauce. It didn’t have the sweetness of cooked carrots, which might have underlined the shellfish’s own sweetness. Maybe the chefs just like the color. This seemed to be the case with a salad of pink watermelon with green needles of okra. The flavors stayed stubbornly separate, the okra contributing only its interior sliminess. Inexplicably, the chefs also spurted a gray dribble of soaked basil seeds on the plate. It was a real goo party.

Question: What is topic of a similar case, filed by the same Law Practice, that will heard next week?

WASHINGTON —  The most influential friend-of-the-court brief in living memory was filed by a group of retired military officers in a 2003 affirmative action case. When the case was argued, the justices echoed the brief’s argument that military preparedness would be threatened if service academies could not ensure a diverse officer corps. Justice Sandra Day O’Connor’s majority opinion, allowing race-conscious admissions at public universities, quoted at length from the brief. The law firm that filed the brief, now called Sidley Austin, has filed a new one by former military officials in the same-sex marriage cases to be heard next week. Their message this time is that the patchwork of marriage laws around the country hurts military families and threatens national security.

Question: What did Silver delgate duties to?

In an unusual arrangement, Mr. Silver would not quit his post. Instead, he would temporarily delegate his duties as speaker to a group of senior Assembly members. Under the plan, which the Assembly’s Democratic caucus is to consider in a closed-door meeting on Monday afternoon, Mr. Silver would “not specifically step down, but step back,” according to a person briefed on the situation, who insisted on anonymity because the plan had not yet been presented to the caucus. Immediately after Mr. Silver’s arrest on Thursday, Democrats in the Assembly rallied behind him. Mr. Silver, who has proved adept over the years at withstanding ethical and legal scrutiny, predicted he would be vindicated.

Question: Visa might have to pay a premium to bypass what?

Visa recently pegged Visa Europe’s value to be “in excess of $10 billion.” Assume Visa Europe’s bottom line grows this year at the same rate as last year, on Visa’s 24 times multiple, the company would be worth $6.9 billion. That figure doesn’t take into account any savings, of course, as well as any premium that Visa would have to pay to bypass the existing agreement. The ancillary benefits for Visa, however, suggest that just as Visa’ chief executive, Charles W. Scharf, said in April: “Sooner is better.”

Question: What is the main institution that turns unskilled individuals into skilled ones?

Today’s economy leaves little doubt about the value of college. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, in 2014 the median worker with a bachelor’s degree (and no advanced degree) earned $69,260, compared with $34,540 for the median worker with only a high school diploma. Over a lifetime, that difference accumulates to about $1.5 million. Increasing educational attainment is also the best way to combat growing income inequality. Over the last 40 years, the wages of skilled workers have increased substantially compared with the wages of the unskilled. Most economists agree that a leading cause is skill-biased technological change — the tendency of new technologies to increase the relative demand for skilled workers. College is the main institution that can offset this trend by turning unskilled individuals into skilled ones. Even those who do not attend college benefit when more of their fellow citizens do so. A person who becomes educated leaves the pool of the unskilled. Those left behind face fewer competitors. With fewer unskilled workers vying for the available jobs, wages at the bottom of the economic ladder are bid up. Although increasing college attendance makes a lot of sense, both for individuals and for the nation, the financial hurdle to doing so is higher than ever. The College Board reports that published tuition and fees at a typical private, nonprofit college, adjusted for overall inflation, have increased by 70 percent over the last 20 years. What gives?

Question: Her mother would eat her favorite sea food in a five-star restaurant and in grimy what?

My mother loved shrimp. She had no qualms about where her shrimp came from, if they were fresh or frozen, large or small. She would eat them in a grimy airport cafe or a five-star restaurant. And when she was done with her crustaceans, she always beamed a big smile and, in her posh British accent, said, “Oh, that was just lovely.” My mother was the one who taught me how to cook shrimp — and everything else. (When I was really young, I was allowed to lick the leftover chocolate cake icing out of the bowl when I helped in the kitchen.) So I jumped at the chance to become her personal chef for the last two weeks of her life.

Question: How old is Xabi Alonso?

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

Question: What position did Trevor Knight fail to procure this season?

Much has changed on offense for the Sooners. Coach Bob Stoops replaced the offensive coordinators Josh Heupel (now at Utah State) and Jay Norvell (now at Texas) with Lincoln Riley, who installed a spread “air raid” offense. Baker Mayfield, a walk-on transfer from Texas Tech, won the job of starting quarterback over Trevor Knight, who led the Sooners over Alabama in the Sugar Bowl two seasons ago. Mayfield could be poised for a big game. Last week, Tennessee allowed 433 yards passing. Fans in Knoxville are dying for a big victory, and Neyland Stadium is sure to be rocking. Oklahoma is the favorite on the road, but this one promises to be close. 20 Boise State at B.Y.U.

Question: Who did Dr King write his letters to?

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?”

Question: What is one argument against lowering the voting age?

“Given the general malaise that faces this country’s political process right now, this is a way to get young people actually excited,” said Scott Warren, executive director of Generation Citizen. Mr. Warren cited the midterm elections last year to make his point. Nationally, only 36 percent of eligible voters participated, a 72-year low for all federal elections, according to a report by the group. Only 19.9 percent of voters ages 18 to 29 cast ballots, the lowest youth turnout rate ever recorded, the report said. Jillian Wu, a 17-year-old high school senior in San Francisco, said that granting 16- and 17-year-olds the right to vote while they were still living with their parents would encourage a habit that continued once they left the nest. Ms. Wu, who sits on Vote16USA’s 12-member youth advisory board, is working on a campaign to lower San Francisco’s voting age for local elections. She balks at claims by opponents that teenagers would just follow their parents’ political views.

Question: What do people do repeatedly?

The argument on the other side boils down to a simple notion: Drivers are going to do it anyway, so why not minimize the riskiest kinds of multitasking, like looking down at the phone or handling it? People use their phones too compulsively to expect them to stop, said Nagraj Kashyap, senior vice president for ventures and innovation at Qualcomm Ventures, an investing arm of the telecom giant, which recently injected $3 million into Navdy. “To completely eliminate it is a pipe dream,” Mr. Kashyap said of motorist multitasking. “The best way to handle it is to make it as safe as you can.”

Question: Who is going to act as transportation commissioner when Mr. Fox departs?

Instead, the statement said that Mr. Fox would “make his anticipated transition back to the private sector by the end of the month.” Mr. Christie said that Joseph Bertoni, the department’s deputy commissioner, would take over as acting commissioner. In a statement, Mr. Fox suggested the move was related to his inability to secure funding for the state’s transportation fund. He said that serving as transportation commissioner twice had been “the best job I have ever had.” He did not mention the federal investigation.

Question: Who is the director of safety of the ERA?

Such a system could have helped prevent the fiery crash of a high-speed train in 2013 near Santiago de Compostela, Spain. The wreck killed 79 people when the train roared through a curve at 120 miles per hour, twice the posted speed limit, and derailed. Like the Amtrak derailment in Philadelphia, which killed eight and injured more than 200, the accident in Spain occurred on a section of track that was fitted with a speed-alert system but had not yet been upgraded with an automatic braking system. “We still live in the shadow of the accident in Spain,” said Christopher Carr, the director of safety at the European Railway Agency, which monitors and sets train safety standards.

Question: Is the writer a frequent traveller?

I love the calm snarkiness of this essay, and it went right over the heads of some making comments here. If there is ever a moment where I am made to feel like a consumer, it is when I have already bought a ticket and am waiting to board. Everyone has been assigned literally several different levels of gold and silver status. It is hilarious and sad. I don’t take it seriously since the costs of tickets is absurd anyway. Roger of Queens: As an infrequent flier with a status somewhere between lead and copper, I am quite pleased with the fact that there are people willing to pay $1,000 for a round trip from N.Y.C. to San Diego, in return for an extra few inches of legroom and a free cocktail. Thanks to their subsidy, I can make the same trip in the back of the plane for $400, which barely even covers my share of the fuel cost.

Question: Where does police not want to put themselves into?

Police commanders and prosecutors generally support camera use, arguing that they provide useful evidence, and will usually show the officers conducting themselves professionally. Views among officers and the unions representing them are more mixed, varying from place to place. “A negative is that police might say, ‘We just won’t put ourselves in bad situations,’ that they say, ‘We are not going to jeopardize our lives because if we make a good-faith mistake, it is going to look like a crime, and we’re going to get prosecuted for murder,’ ” said Francis T. Cullen, a professor in the School of Criminal Justice at the University of Cincinnati.

Question: What did defense lawyers argue about marijuana's Schedule I classification?

Defense lawyers had argued in court filings that the charges should be dismissed in part because marijuana’s Schedule I classification was arbitrary and unconstitutional. They asserted that the 10th Amendment barred the federal government from superseding state laws legalizing marijuana for medicinal use. Judge Mueller ruled that any adjustments to the law were better left to Congress. “This is not the court and this is not the time,” she said Wednesday, according to a report by The Associated Press. A written ruling will be issued by the end of the week. The decision dismayed advocates of marijuana legalization.

Question: Who did Ms. Mizrahi-Rubel collaborate with during her career?

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: How many times did Boehner have to tell McCarthy that he was retiring?

“When it became clear that the majority leader lost his election, I didn’t frankly believe it was right for me to leave at the end of last year,” Mr. Boehner said. But if Mr. Boehner was counting on his No. 2 to replace him, he did not give Mr. McCarthy much warning, telling him about his plans to retire only two minutes before giving the news to the entire House Republican conference. “I had to tell him five times, because he didn’t believe me,” Mr. Boehner said. While there appear to be no challengers to Mr. McCarthy for the speakership at this point, there is little doubt that Tea Party conservatives will be looking for a candidate to back.

Question: What do they feel about the quality of education and their society?

There are some promising signs of progress. For instance, the tax authorities have increased the use of digital filing methods, cutting into the mountains of paperwork. Some small businesses are thought to have benefited from a method aimed at simplifying their taxes. New legislation requiring retailers to estimate the amount of sales taxes embedded in the prices of their products is raising awareness among some Brazilians about the taxes they pay on everyday purchases. That, in turn, seems to be stoking anger about the deplorable quality of the education, health care, policing and other public services they receive in return. Brazil’s economic crisis is opening a new debate about taxes, with President Dilma Rousseff’s administration seeking to resuscitate a tax on financial transactions in an effort to raise government revenues. Other proposals under consideration would raise taxes on fuel and inheritance.

Question: Is there a guarantee of definite safety from the use of Navdy's device?

This technology is in its infancy. Navdy’s device isn’t shipping until later this year, and it’s not clear if it will work as seamlessly as presented in the video when used in less perfect real-life conditions. But, broadly speaking, the Navdy device falls into a booming category of in-car gadgetry that might be fairly categorized as “you can have your cake and eat it too.” Drive, get texts, talk on the phone, even interact on social media, and do it all without compromising safety, according to various makers of the so-called head-up displays, repeating a position taken by a growing number of automakers who sell monitors set into the dashboard or mounted on it. Some carmakers also display basic driving information, like speed and turn-by-turn directions, within a specialized windshield so a driver can remain looking ahead and not down at the instrument panel.

Question: What type of sentence was Alberto Youseff given by Judge Moro?

“It’s hard to predict,” he said. “Statistically, when you have cases against the rich and powerful, things tend to end with pizza. We have no illusions. No aspirations to be superheroes. We are only a group of guys determined to do our best.” One person who will be celebrating before too long is Alberto Youssef. Stress and jail have turned his hair gray, slimmed him down by 40 pounds and landed him last year in the hospital with a heart attack. His wife divorced him and he is said to be destitute. His days as a nexus of cash and gifts are over. But Judge Moro determined that his assistance had been so helpful that he was given the minimum sentence allowed in his plea agreement. With the time he has already served, he will be free by the beginning of 2017.

Question: Who obtained internal audit regarding soldiers abroad?

Whether peacekeepers serve the United Nations or are under their own national commanders — as in the case of the French troops in Bangui — it is ultimately up to the soldiers’ home countries to investigate and prosecute such cases. The United Nations does not have the legal authority to prosecute or punish a country’s soldiers, even when they are serving under the banner of the United Nations. France has announced an official investigation into the accusations against its troops. But in many instances, including cases of sexual abuse allegations against peacekeepers on United Nations missions, some countries do not respond to queries from United Nations headquarters at all about how — or whether — they investigate their soldiers abroad, according to a recent internal audit obtained by The New York Times.

Question: Why does every computer, tablet and smartphone ship with built-in browsers?

These actions are not necessarily as terrible as they seem. In 1999, Microsoft argued that bundling its web browser with its operating system was good for consumers who needed a way to easily get on the Internet. In retrospect, that looks defensible — today, every computer, tablet and smartphone ship with built-in browsers, because everyone believes they are an important aspect of the user experience of computers. Google argues, similarly, that giving people answers to shopping and travel queries on its main search results page is much more helpful than giving them a bunch of links to competing search services.

Answer: because everyone believes they are an important aspect of the user experience of computers

Question: How many tests did Eichel win in?

McDavid, who tends to be more soft-spoken, said: “It’s not up to me to decide. A lot of people will do a lot of talking, and they’ll judge with their own eyes. I believe in my abilities, and I feel I’m the best player in the draft. I’m not sure, maybe you’ll hear a different answer from Jack.” When it came to testing this week, Eichel was superior to McDavid. Eichel prevailed in five tests: bench press, pull-ups and agility, and vertical and standing broad jumps. Eichel’s results ranked well against other prospects, too. He had the best endurance result (12 minutes 15 seconds) in a grueling test in which the prospects pedal a bike against stiff resistance while wearing an oxygen mask. He ranked fifth in vertical jump, fourth in bench press and fifth in the standing broad jump, and he had the strongest right-hand grip. None of that will alter his or McDavid’s standings, which are cast. Things get more interesting with the next picks, starting with the Arizona Coyotes’ selection in the third slot. Don Maloney, Arizona’s general manager, was reluctant to reveal his hand. He indicated that little of what had happened at the combine would determine his course early in the draft. He did allow, though, that some of his team’s later selections could be affected.

Question: What kind of weekend is Ms. Kushner planning?

“I really loved the idea of a healthy weekend: high-end, but low-fat cuisine, fitness classes, treatments,” Ms. Kushner said. The event coordinator planned nostalgic playground games (ring toss, jumping rope) in a lighthearted but competitive style. “My friends were so surprised by how much fun they had,” she said. The notion that Big Brother is watching from the web, along with the eyes of corporate America, is a reality that is also bearing down on millennials and others who are holding down jobs and are expected to perform in them. As enticing and addictive as Facebook and Instagram have become, there’s also a pushback from those wanting to remain faceless and nameless. For these folks, being caught in compromising photographs in a posting on someone’s page that they didn’t O.K. is no longer acceptable.

Question: What kinds of information gets projected by Navdy's device?

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

Question: Where is Itamar Harel a researcher?

Even when hobbyists pamper them in aquariums, turquoise killifish survive only a few months, making them among the shortest-lived vertebrates on Earth. So the turquoise killifish may not seem the best animal to study to discover the secrets of a long life. But researchers are finding that this tiny fish ages much as we do, only at a much faster pace. “It’s a compressed life span,” said Itamar Harel, a postdoctoral researcher at Stanford University. Dr. Harel and his colleagues recently developed a set of tools to probe the biology of the turquoise killifish.
