Question: In the past, which countries bargained in private to determine who would become secretary general of the U.N.

Croatia and Namibia are leading an effort to give the organization’s 193 member states a greater say in the selection of the secretary general as part of a yearly resolution that is being drafted. New guidelines, which are still being negotiated and will be finalized by mid-September, would allow members to formally nominate applicants and vet the finalists. Until now, the five permanent members of the Security Council — Britain, China, France, Russia and the United States — have bargained behind closed doors to pick from a short list of candidates that is not formally publicized. Those who have prevailed have been palatable to those five governments, a common-denominator criterion that has the potential to doom the chances of more impressive and qualified public servants. Currently, there is not an effort underway to make the process truly democratic by allowing member states to elect the secretary general though a vote. Yet, by opening it to greater public scrutiny, the Security Council would be likely to take into account input and concerns from around the globe.

Question: What else can "Me and Earl and the Dying Girl" be about?

As I said, potentially awful stuff. But Mr. Gomez-Rejon turns down the melodramatic volume and slows the plot almost to the point of stasis. (The music, by Brian Eno with contributions from Nico Muhly, is also wielded gently and judiciously). “Me and Earl and the Dying Girl” is about growing up, facing death, making and losing friends and other rites of passage, but it’s also, and more immediately, about drifting, hanging out, wasting time and succumbing to confusion. And it provides three young people in whose company it is a pleasure to drift and wonder and loaf.

Question: Where did St. John's play?

St. John’s did what it had not been doing most of the season — shoot well and control the boards — and the Red Storm delighted the Madison Square Garden crowd in beating Syracuse, 84-72. The matchup on Sunday was the programs’ first since Jan. 19, 1977, in which Jim Boeheim was not coaching the Orange, a span of 63 games. This was the third game of his nine-game N.C.A.A. ban. The freshman Federico Mussini had 17 points, and four other players scored in double figures for the Red Storm (7-3), who won their third straight. The Orange had won nine of the previous 10 meetings; they lead the series by 51-39. St. John’s had not beaten Syracuse at the Garden since 2007. “This was the best win of my life in the world’s most famous arena,” Mussini said. “Nothing better than this.” Michael Gbinije’s 21 points led Syracuse (7-3), which has lost three of four. The Red Storm shot 30 of 61, including 12 of 24 from 3-point range, well above their season averages. Syracuse shot 5 of 26 from beyond the arc.

Question: What is the Fed expected to eventually do?

Fed officials keep saying they are data-dependent in their policy choice, and this data backs up the idea that the United States economy is fundamentally in pretty decent shape, with consistent job growth and a low enough unemployment rate that employers are starting to offer workers higher raises. But because these numbers take some of the mystery out of the next Fed meeting, it’s worth looking at the questions we still don’t know the answers to. For the Fed, March is the new December. Meaning, the question now turns from “when will they first raise rates?” to “when will they raise rates after that?” What really matters for the economy is not so much what the Fed does 12 days from now, which we pretty much know, but how rapid or slow the path is toward higher rates.

Question: What is speeding for the regulators in the auto industry are not capable of keeping up with?

“Tech and innovation in the auto industry are moving so much faster than the regulators can keep up with it,” she said. The Department of Transportation has sponsored research at the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute into whether the safety benefit of having head-up displays in cars outweighs the risk of distraction; that study is expected to conclude in 2016. Another take on the fledgling technology comes from a Vancouver, British Columbia, start-up called DD Technologies — started by two entrepreneurs who said they were inspired to build a head-up display after watching an “Iron Man” movie. The company’s display, Iris, which should soon be available in limited quantities, allows drivers to read the contents of a text. But the entrepreneurs say they’re not encouraging the behavior — well, not exactly.

Question: What was the crime named as Zachary Hammond's death?

To Zachary Hammond’s supporters, the shooting death of the 19-year-old man was yet another example of questionable police behavior that has shaken communities around the country. In their view, the police in Seneca, S.C., falsely claimed Mr. Hammond was shot last month as he tried to drive his car over the officer who fired on him, when his wounds show he was actually shot from the side and back. They also say the deadly confrontation, in which officers approached with their guns drawn and screaming profanities, evolved from an absurd sting effort to trap his date into selling a tiny amount of marijuana, a drug now decriminalized in much of the country.

Question: Who is Wenger's assistant?

During that score, the referee never saw that the ball deflected from Giroud’s head onto his forearm, which possibly could have ruled out the goal. The assistant referee beside the post did play a role in the second score. After a shot by Mesut Ozil, Neuer tried to scoop the ball away from his goal, but the official correctly spotted that it had, in fact, crossed the goal line. So justice was served. Arsenal, using its rapid speed via Walcott, Alexis Sánchez and the adventurous young right back Héctor Bellerín, has found and honed a new winning tactic. It is called counterattacking, and it has been alien to Wenger’s philosophy over much of his two decades in London. You possibly could thank Wenger’s assistant, the former Arsenal defender Steve Bould, for the change.

Question: Which two states have the most severe water management challenges?

Willingly overlooking that fact amounts to a fundamental failure of water management that has left states more vulnerable to drought and less prepared to adapt to the effects of climate change. Moreover, it has left them blind to an honest accounting of their total supply. How can anyone plan for the future if there isn’t agreement about something as basic as how much water there actually is? In much of California and Arizona — two of the states with arguably the most severe water crises and water management challenges in the nation — state and local authorities continue to count the sources of water as if they were entirely separate, two distinct bank accounts. “States have their own take on this. Or they choose to not address it at all,” said Stanley A. Leake, a hydrologist with the United States Geological Survey who is a leading expert on properly accounting for the connection between ground and surface waters in the West. “In some cases they pretend that there is no connection.”

Question: Who is uninterested in discussing Towns' potential ability?

If Karl-Anthony Towns has enormous potential, at least one person has no interest in discussing it. On Thursday, ahead of the team’s loss to the Denver Nuggets on Friday, Mitchell was asked what was next for Towns in his development. Mitchell did not appreciate the question. “Guys,” he said, “the next thing in his development is Denver. I mean, he’s played 20 games, guys, and you want to — his next development? You think he’s learned how to play in the N.B.A. after 20 games? It’s 20 games into his first year.” Mitchell added: “You get better during the off-season. You don’t get better during the season. So there is no next development.”

Question: What group said that they were hopeful the veto would hold up?

State Representative Eric Burlison, who sponsored the legislation and says it would draw new businesses to Missouri, said he was “optimistic” about getting the veto overturned but stopped far short of forecasting a victory. Union leaders said they were hopeful that the veto would hold up. “I would say this is completely up in the air,” said Mr. Burlison, a Republican from Springfield. “But I feel no matter what happens that we’re making progress.” The right-to-work policy has become law in Wisconsin, Indiana and Michigan — states with Republican governors and Republican-controlled legislatures — in recent years despite vocal objections from organized labor. The bill has been introduced a number of times in Missouri, but only this year made it to the desk of Mr. Nixon, whose veto had been widely expected. Supporters of the legislation say it would attract businesses to the state and prevent nonunion workers from paying for union services they do not want. But union leaders say the existing law allowing them to charge fees to nonunion workers is fair because all workers benefit from collective bargaining. They say revoking that right would weaken unions, some of which are already struggling to maintain membership and political clout.

Question: What are black and white images said to depict?

Black-and-white images depict daily life — families around the breakfast table, a mother holding an infant, men and women heading off to work — as Mrs. Clinton reminds voters they are “not just electing a president, but a commander in chief.” Photos show her flanked by military officers, and descending alone from her Air Force jet as secretary of state, as she can be heard, as a candidate, emphasizing the need to be “both secure at home and leading the world.” Only when she is finally shown delivering the speech, at Mountain View College in Dallas in mid-November, does the black-and-white give way to full color.

Question: What is the name of the building that has been argued about for a long time?

“Legislators owe it to the people of the county to listen to his plan, to test the assumptions and to compare it to the plan they are in such a hurry to implement,” the editorial argued. The lawmakers should have second thoughts. Bids for demolition came in last week at nearly twice the price estimated by the design firm, Clark Patterson Lee, that Mr. Neuhaus and his allies have enlisted. Instead of $3.9 million, as Clark Patterson predicted, the two bids topped $7.4 million and $7.7 million, The Times Herald-Record reported on Saturday. Officials backing demolition say that debates over the Rudolph center have gone on too long. Entertaining an alternative now would mean more delays. It’s a curious argument, since county legislators themselves are the ones who have the power to expedite, or drag out, consideration of Mr. Kaufman’s plan. As the newspaper’s editorial also noted, “This urge to move on has surfaced repeatedly.” Each time, local officials have “resisted, and each time they avoided doing something irrevocable and more costly than necessary,” it said. “This time is no different.”

Question: What will be the topic at the United Nations gathering where Mrs. Clinton will be the keynote speaker?

The donations from countries with poor records on women’s rights, however, presented a difficult appearance problem for a candidate running in part as the embodiment of women’s aspirations to equality. “It’s a perfect example of the conflict of interest here,” said Richard W. Painter, a White House ethics lawyer under President George W. Bush. “The United States has at least two issues that are very important with Saudi Arabia,” he said. “One is continuing to fight terrorism, and the second is the rights of women.” Mrs. Clinton’s ramp-up to a candidacy built around women’s issues continues in New York on Monday, when she and the philanthropist Melinda Gates unveil the “No Ceilings” report. The next day, Mrs. Clinton will be the keynote speaker at a United Nations gathering on women’s empowerment.

Painter, a White House ethics lawyer under President George W. Bush. “The United States has at least two issues that are very important with Saudi Arabia,” he said. “One is continuing to fight terrorism, and the second is the rights of women.” Mrs. Clinton’s ramp-up to a candidacy built around women’s issues continues in New York on Monday, when she and the philanthropist Melinda Gates unveil the “No Ceilings” report. <hl> The next day, Mrs. Clinton will be the keynote speaker at a United Nations gathering on women’s empowerment . <hl>

Question: What are some failure the film facing?

“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 is the most important part of going to see the games?

Until his health began to fail, we traveled to see the Cubs in San Francisco and San Diego, and Arizona, where in 2007 we took my son, Alex, to the first round of the National League playoffs so he could be duly indoctrinated: two games against the Diamondbacks, two losses by the Cubs. In truth, as time passes, the results have mattered less than the time we had together. The Cubs have been, more than anything else, a shared experience. I will remember that this October, when they reach the World Series. I plan to take Alex with me. But first I will have to speak with his high school basketball coach. I do not imagine he will be happy about my son missing practice right before the start of the season, so I am prepared to explain that the Cubs do not play in a World Series every day. If necessary, there is a deal I am prepared to make.

Question: Who is Tom Freston?

“I think first of all that making mistakes is key to doing anything right,” Gus Wenner said in response. Bringing on great people, he said, is paramount. “Given my youth or inexperience, that is probably more important than it would be otherwise.” Those he seeks advice from, he said, include Tom Freston, the former chief executive of Viacom who many credit with helping make Vice into a rising media powerhouse. Gus Wenner has been hiring coders and designers, working on Wenner Media’s digital infrastructure, seeking out partnerships and pushing more deeply into video. (One of the videos on the site features Mr. Wenner, in 2013, playing guitar and singing in a band he formed with Scout Willis, a daughter of the actor Bruce Willis.) He feels his father’s focus is easily adaptable to a more current vision. “Our mission is to tell great stories, and the lens of what we do just becomes much broader,” he said.

Question: Who was the college playmaker of the year in 2013?

But Amanda Kessel, a leading scorer for the Americans in Sochi and the college player of the year in 2013, has not played since, ending her career at Minnesota at 23 because of lingering symptoms from a concussion sustained before the Olympics. Her teammate Josephine Pucci retired over the summer at 24, cognizant of her concussion history. A concussion kept Canada’s Haley Irwin out until the Olympic tournament’s semifinals. She assisted on the tying goal in the last minute of the final, but her symptoms returned after the Olympics. Another concussion, in January, has kept her from playing professionally in the Canadian Women’s Hockey League.

Question: Who sided with Anita?

When Goldberger describes how Goldberg became Gehry, he portrays a blend of someone who manipulates and is manipulated. Gehry says he opposed the name change. “I didn’t want to do it. You have to understand, I was super lefty, I was involved with liberal causes,” Goldberger quotes him saying. Gehry felt it was “a cop-out.” But Anita, the woman he had recently married, insisted. She was Jewish too, but her maiden name of “Snyder” had been less telling, and she had no use for “Goldberg.” Frank’s mother sided with Anita; his father objected. Frank, declaring his wife “one tough operator,” tells Goldberger: “If you knew Anita, you knew that I had to do it. I had no way out. I was in a corner.” He invented the spelling “Gehry” to simulate Goldberg by starting with G, maintaining a high-profile letter in the middle, and ending with a tail.

Question: Which disease has the greatest health care cost in the last five years of life?

So when a group of researchers asked which of these diseases involved the greatest health care costs in the last five years of life, the answer they found might seem surprising. The most expensive, by far, was dementia. The study looked at patients on Medicare. The average total cost of care for a person with dementia over those five years was $287,038. For a patient who died of heart disease it was $175,136. For a cancer patient it was $173,383. Medicare paid almost the same amount for patients with each of those diseases — close to $100,000 — but dementia patients had many more expenses that were not covered.

Question: The process that makes the assumption that G.D.P. stays static when the government impliments spending or changes tax law is called what?

We don’t yet know how Mr. Hall’s leadership will differ from Mr. Elmendorf’s but we do know that he will face a big challenge. House Republicans have recently changed the rules: The Congressional Budget Office and Joint Committee on Taxation are now required to use “dynamic scoring” when evaluating major changes in tax and spending policy. This is the can of worms that awaits Mr. Hall as he takes on his new job. Until now, conventional budget analysis has used a process called static scoring, which assumes that the path of gross domestic product remains the same when the government changes taxes or spending. This procedure has the virtues of simplicity and transparency.

Question: Which race drives the North American box office according to industry data?

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

Question: Conservative politicians in the United States are against raising what?

To the Editor: Re “Special Visas Help Copycats Take U.S. Jobs” (front page, Sept. 30): American companies like Toys “R” Us are using the H-1B temporary visa program to take high-paying American jobs offshore in the name of growth and corporate resiliency. At the same time, conservative politicians oppose raising the minimum wage to livable levels with the argument that it will deprive Americans of their low-paying jobs. They also want to tighten immigration laws that bring foreign workers here to take jobs that most Americans don’t want, as in agriculture. Is this selective vision, moral hypocrisy or both? ELLEN JOURET-EPSTEIN

Question: Who killed Muhammad Abu Khdeir?

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: How many Playboy magazines are currently in circulation?

I was thinking about my friend when I read the news that Playboy, the venerable purveyor of celebrity interviews, literary fiction and female nudity, had decided to stop publishing pictures of naked ladies. “You’re now one click away from every sex act imaginable for free. And so it’s just passé at this juncture,” said Scott Flanders, Playboy’s chief executive. With a once-mighty circulation of 5.6 million now hovering around 800,000, Playboy has been left with no choice but to put on its big-girl panties and try to compete with other glossy lad mags and their versions of the Good Life.

With a once-mighty circulation of 5.6 million now hovering around <hl> 800,000 <hl>, Playboy has been left with no choice but to put on its big-girl panties and try to compete with other glossy lad mags and their versions of the Good Life.

Question: The Iraqi fled from who?

A major focus of the Iraqi pavilion this year (held at Ca’ Dandolo, a palazzo on the Grand Canal) is a set of drawings by adult Iraqi refugees who fled the Islamic State’s onslaught. These depictions — a hooded militant shooting a mother and child, a bandaged man whose bleeding heart is shaped like Iraq — were produced when the Ruya Foundation took paper, pencils and crayons to refugees in three camps in northern Iraq. All 546 submissions were then flown to Beijing and shown to the Chinese artist Ai Weiwei, who made a selection for a book published by the foundation. (That book is on sale at the exhibition and proceeds will go to the refugees.)

Question: what year did mullin win player of the year?

“You would know just by his toughness and his moxie,” said Kemba Walker, a star point guard for the Charlotte Hornets who was born in the Bronx, gained national prominence at Rice High School in Harlem and led the University of Connecticut to an N.C.A.A. title in 2011. Brooklyn-born Chris Mullin, who played his high school ball in the city and was the N.C.A.A.’s player of the year for St. John’s in Queens in 1985 before becoming an N.B.A. All-Star, said he often watches college games and finds himself thinking a player is likely to be from his old stamping grounds based on the way he carries himself on the court.

Question: What is Jeremy Corbyn the leader of?

The run-up to the vote also amounted to a low point for Jeremy Corbyn, the new leader of the opposition Labour Party. While Mr. Corbyn opposes British military action over Syria, some of Labour’s senior figures, including the party’s spokesman on foreign affairs, Hilary Benn, supported it, and Mr. Corbyn was forced to allow his lawmakers to vote freely on the issue in an effort to avoid a intraparty clash amid threatened resignations. In an impassioned speech that won a rousing reception Wednesday night, Mr. Benn argued that “every state has the right to defend itself” and asked “why would we not uphold the settled will of the United Nations?”

Question: The technical patch to fix emissions is valid in what region?

WOLFSBURG, Germany —  Volkswagen said on Wednesday that it would be able to bring its diesel cars into line with European clean-air standards by updating engine software and installing a small, tube-shaped part roughly the same diameter as the cardboard tube in a roll of paper towels. The technical patch that Volkswagen presented at company headquarters here is valid only for Europe, where it will be installed beginning next year. Modifying Volkswagen diesel cars sold in the United States will be more complicated because of stricter rules on emissions of nitrogen oxides, pollutants harmful to the environment and human health.

Question: What could the cuts laid out in the Conservative manifesto cause in the country?

As laid out in the Conservative manifesto, the cuts would be deep outside certain protected areas like the National Health Service, and might be about 30 billion pounds, or about $49 billion. Mr. Osborne is driven by a Thatcherite belief in the value of a smaller state to free up individual and corporate enterprise and encourage those able to work to do so, and such cuts could create political tensions, and even unrest, in the country. Mr. Osborne is respected, but his economic theology is not shared by every Tory, which could also lead to defections and close votes. Mr. Cameron has never been very popular with some of his backbenchers. They are sure to be shocked and overjoyed at the victory he brought them, as they feared Labour would manage, with the Scots, to create a majority to throw the Tories out of power. Even the most optimistic Conservatives were talking about winning 300 seats, which pollsters thought was hallucinatory.

Question: What country is the Pope dissapointed with?

Confronted by the continuing and largely ignored persecution of Catholics and other Christians in the Middle East, it is no surprise that as forthright and courageous a pope as Francis would set aside diplomatic nicety and call genocide what it is: genocide. It is a great pity that as important a country as Turkey should continue to object as strongly as it does to what is by now so clearly the verdict of history, particularly after President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s unprecedented and powerful offer of condolences last year to the victims’ grandchildren.

Question: How much did public spending increase in regards to public school placement for special education students?

While slashing resources in its public schools, the school board vastly increased public spending on private schools. The cost of transporting children, including gender-segregated busing, rose to $27.3 million in 2013-14 from $22 million in 2009-10, a 24 percent increase. Public spending on private school placement for special education students grew by 33 percent between 2010-11 and 2013-14, and the district placed students in private schools when appropriate spaces were available in public ones.

Question: Who did Mr. Reed create work for?

Indeed, Mr. Reed said he had been more warmly received in Europe where, in a series of recent shows, he explored the concept of the filmstrip in his paintings. “It’s always been strange to feel that I’m an American painter who’s much more appreciated in Europe than I am here,” he said. Mr. Reed is creating a work for Mr. Blum’s West 57th Street gallery — seven adjacent Technicolor canvases making a 42-foot-long horizontal piece that appears to extend through a wall and into Mr. Blum’s office. “I hope the painting seems endless,” Mr. Reed said. “I’m excited about what I’m doing now,” he added. “I just hope I live long enough to be able to explore it. Painting is a long game — you need a lot of years. I feel like I’m finally getting a feel for certain things and it’s taken me this long to do it.”

Question: What does Apples search engine allow them to potentially do?

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: What was written on the movie poster with a woman?

Among the authority’s list of banned items: violent images that could scare children, material that could “incite or provoke violence,” and ads for escort services and tobacco products. Then there is the provision about depicting sexual activities in an offensive manner, which leaves room for interpretation. An ad on the F train has an image of a movie poster depicting the face of a woman in the throes of ecstasy next to the caption, “The heart wants, the flesh takes.” At least one rider sitting near the ad on a recent morning said it seemed inappropriate for children. “I glanced at it from the side of my eye, but I didn’t really care to read it,” said the passenger, Tara Griffiths, 21, a student at St. John’s University in Queens. “It reminds me of ‘Fifty Shades of Grey.’ ”
