Question: 30,000 migrants travelling north from what country could become stranded in Slovenia?

LJUBLJANA, Slovenia —  Slovenia began erecting a razor-wire fence at its border with Croatia on Wednesday to stem the inflow of migrants, as winter closes in and countries to the north tighten their own border controls. A convoy of army trucks carrying barbed wire and construction equipment arrived in the border town of Veliki Obrez at dawn on Wednesday. Soldiers rolled out the wire along the Slovenian bank of the Sotla River, which forms part of the 400-mile border with Croatia. Slovenia is an important country on the migration route through the Balkans because its border with Croatia also forms the southern frontier of Europe’s Schengen area, where passport-free travel is possible. Since Oct. 17, when Hungary closed its border with Croatia and redirected the flow, more than 180,000 migrants from Africa, the Middle East and Asia have entered Slovenia, a nation of two million people. Though the new fence threatens to block the route again just as winter is approaching, migrants have largely been able to find their way around such obstacles. Officials are anticipating that asylum seekers may now turn to Albania and Italy as an alternative routes to more prosperous European countries in the north. Most of the migrants moving through the Balkans have gone on to Austria and then Germany. Slovenia has been saying that it could manage the influx of about 6,000 to 8,000 asylum seekers a day as long as roughly the same number moved on each day. But Austria said recently that it could accept only 6,000 people a day from Slovenia, and Germany has started to tighten some controls on arrivals. As a result, the Slovenian prime minister, Miro Cerar, said that it was very likely that many of the 30,000 migrants who were traveling north from Greece could become stranded in Slovenia, which has limited room to accommodate them. “It’s a big number,” Mr. Cerar said at a news conference on Tuesday, after the government approved construction of the fence. “If we don’t act now, we could have a humanitarian catastrophe on the territory of Slovenia,” he said.

Question: What keeps DNA from fraying?

Once the scientists figured out how to keep the animals happy, Dr. Brunet’s team got down to the scientific work. They sequenced the entire genome of the turquoise killifish, identifying a number of genes known to influence aging in other species, including mice and humans. Dr. Harel then built molecular tools the team could use to tinker with the fish’s genes. Using a new technique called Crispr, he created molecular scissors that could snip out any piece of killifish DNA and replace it with a different one. To test his tools, Dr. Harel and his colleagues tinkered with a gene called TERT, which protects DNA from wear and tear. It encodes a protein that helps build caps at the ends of DNA molecules called telomeres. Telomeres, like the plastic tips at the ends of shoelaces, keep DNA from fraying. As cells divide, their telomeres get shorter, and this change probably plays a role in aging. But how is still a mystery.

Question: Who was George Bush's opponent in his 1988 campaign?

Mr. Atwater managed George Bush’s 1988 campaign against Michael S. Dukakis, the Massachusetts governor, a race that featured one of the most devastating political ads in American history. It discussed Willie Horton, a black murderer who escaped from the Massachusetts prison system while on a weekend furlough and raped a white woman and stabbed her husband. Mr. Atwater denied having a role in the ad, which was sponsored by a political action committee. But he said part of his plan to defeat Mr. Dukakis was to “make Willie Horton his running mate.” “It is certainly true the Bushes like to win, and have never kept their Lee Atwaters and their Karl Roves on a short leash, when anything and everything was required,” Mr. Draper said. Jeb Bush’s team, led by his pugnacious campaign manager, Danny Diaz, can also be feisty.

Question: Who had to pressure to rebel leaders to sign?

None of the leaders themselves signed the agreements — that was left to other representatives of the antagonists and the European truce observers — sending a discreet signal that they were not taking full responsibility for the outcome. Ms. Merkel did note that Mr. Putin had to pressure the rebel leaders to sign. The agreement also states that the Ukrainian military and its separatist opponents will complete the withdrawal of heavy weapons — with the largest missiles pulled back more than 40 miles — no later than two weeks after the start of the cease-fire.

Question: There is diversity in ballet now, what dancers are changing that?

Finally a major New York ballet company has a black swan. Misty Copeland’s promotion to principal dancer at American Ballet Theater this summer put ballet back on popular culture’s map and ushered in a conversation about diversity in ballet. So what now? Classical ballet is still overwhelmingly white, but over the past few years diversity has finally become a priority. On the stages of American Ballet Theater and New York City Ballet black, Asian, Latino and multiracial dancers are beginning to change the face of ballet where it matters most: Lincoln Center, home base to both companies.

Question: What are Upstart's odds to win?

5. Materiality  Trainer: Todd Pletcher Jockey: John Velazquez Record: 3-3-0-0 Points: 100 Odds: 12-1 J.D.: Materiality, the Florida Derby champion, is trying to do an awful lot in little time. I’m betting against his winning the Run for the Roses on such a small foundation. M.H.: A son of Afleet Alex, he looked impressive in staying perfect at the Florida Derby. But long odds remain: Since 1882, no horse has won the Derby without racing at 2.  6. Upstart  Trainer: Rick Violette Jockey: Jose Ortiz Record: 7-3-3-1 Points: 76 Odds: 18-1 J.D.: Melissa likes this horse better than I do. He spiked a fever over the weekend and missed a workout, which is not an ideal way to head into the Derby.

Question: Which sections of the sites does the company plan to expand into 2016?

The shift in focus is an acknowledgment, Mr. Denton wrote, that the quality and engagement of an audience were more important than its sheer size. “In today’s crowded and confusing digital media world, you should focus on your strengths and have a clear message for your audience,” he wrote. Heading into 2016, he said, the company will seek to extend the lifestyle sections on each of its sites, promote product recommendations — a growing source of revenue for Gawker Media, which takes a percentage of sales that come through its sites — and expand its video offerings and live events. It will, like many other media organizations, be happy to reach readers wherever they are, Mr. Denton said, including “Apple News, YouTube and Facebook Instant Articles.” “The first blogs were a reaction against the idiocy and pomposity of mass media,” Mr. Denton said in an interview by Instant Messenger on Tuesday. “Now social media is dominated by the same stories that would have made the local television news. We’re in an era of mass social media. I think smarter readers are seeking refuge in subcultures.”

Question: What is Ms.Simpson's birth name?

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: What ways were the hockey prospects tested?

BUFFALO —  They were pushed, prodded, measured, weighed and otherwise subjected to a kind of scrutiny familiar to anyone who has inspected produce before buying. But in this case, the commodities were teenagers, the top draft-eligible hockey prospects in the world, who last week were examined and tested — physically and mentally — at the 2015 N.H.L. scouting combine here at HarborCenter, part of a two-rink hockey complex completed in 2014 by the host Sabres. For the first time in its history, the combine moved from the Toronto area, where it had been held the last several years in a crowded ballroom in Mississauga, Ontario. There were other changes, too. Physical testing took place over two days, Friday and Saturday, instead of one. And new tests were added, all designed to mimic skills better suited for hockey.

Question: Where is the Matariya district?

CAIRO — At least 18 people were killed in political violence on Sunday, the fourth anniversary of the Arab Spring uprising, a reminder of the ruthless crackdown the military-backed government has used to silence any echoes of that revolt. Security officials said three of those killed were militants trying to plant bombs that accidentally exploded in two Nile Delta towns, and three others were police conscripts. At least 12 others were civilians killed by security forces. As many as 10 civilians were killed in clashes in the Matariya district, a frequent flash point on the northern edge of Cairo, and dozens of civilians were reportedly injured in clashes at scattered protests around the country. After nearly 18 months of recurring police shootings at street protests since the military takeover in 2013, it was the deaths of two others killed over the weekend that most captured Egypt’s attention. Sondos Reda Abu Bakr, a 17-year-old high school student, was killed Friday by police officers firing birdshot at a demonstration in Alexandria in support of ousted President Mohamed Morsi of the Muslim Brotherhood. And Shaimaa al-Sabbagh, 31, a left-leaning poet and activist, was killed in Cairo. She was a member of a socialist political party that had supported President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi and the military takeover he led in 2013.

Question: who is Mario Abou Zeid?

“This is a very important indication of how dysfunctional the government is and how incapable it is of dealing with the basic demands of the population,” said Mario Abou Zeid, a research analyst at the Carnegie Middle East Center in Beirut. Across the city, trash piles have consumed sidewalks and engulfed parked cars, leaving pedestrians holding their noses and retching as the sweet aromas of rotting food waft through residential areas. Parking and gas station attendants forced to work outside have donned medical masks to reduce the smell, and other residents have fled the city altogether.

Question: how old did Ms Levin allege that the modern woman was?

In 1960, The New York Times published an article with a headline that read, “Road From Sophocles to Spock Is Often a Bumpy One.” It reported on “the problem,” as the president of Barnard College put it, of the educated housewife: her anxiety, frustration and claustrophobia. Phyllis Levin, its author, likened her subjects to “a two-headed schizophrenic” who “used to talk about whether music was frozen architecture, now she talks over frozen food plans.” Noting that the right to vote had been won in 1920, Ms. Levin pointed out that “the modern woman” was only 40 years old, and lamented her descent from the ivory tower of academia to “push-button kitchens, supermarkets and finished basements.” Ms. Levin said recently that she had forgotten the furor her article and others raised (Betty Friedan noted her piece in “The Feminine Mystique”) but does remember being asked to do a book, a proposal she turned down, she said, “because I didn’t have a solution to the problem.”

Question: What was the original name of the Evaluation Systems?

A federal judge on Friday found that an exam for New York teaching candidates was racially discriminatory because it did not measure skills necessary to do the job, the latest step in a court battle over teacher qualifications that has spanned nearly 20 years. The exam, the second incarnation of the Liberal Arts and Sciences Test, called the LAST-2, was administered from 2004 through 2012 and was designed to test an applicant’s knowledge of liberal arts and science. But the test was found to fail minority teaching candidates at a higher rate than white candidates. According to Friday’s decision, written by Judge Kimba M. Wood of Federal District Court in Manhattan, the pass rate for African-American and Latino candidates was between 54 percent and 75 percent of the pass rate for white candidates. Once it was established that minority applicants were failing at a disproportionately high rate, the burden shifted to education officials to prove that the skills being tested were necessary to do the job; otherwise, the test would be ruled discriminatory. In creating the test, the company, National Evaluation Systems, sent surveys to educators around New York State to determine if the test’s “content objectives” were relevant and important to teaching. The samples for both surveys were small, however, Judge Wood said. The judge found that National Evaluation Systems, now called Evaluation Systems, part of Pearson Education, went about the process backward.

Question: When was the Mets last championship season?

But some telling evidence points to trouble for the Yankees and a boon for the Mets, suggesting that New York might be turning into a Mets town for the first time since their championship season of 1986. “It certainly feels like something’s happening,” said Greg Prince, a blogger for the website Faith and Fear in Flushing. “Winning certainly can change the equation, especially winning that hasn’t happened in a long time. It’s not that the other team in New York isn’t winning, but there doesn’t seem to be a lot of spark to it, while what’s happening to the Mets feels fresh and novel.” It is not just a feeling. By the measures of attendance and television viewership, the Mets are surging while their crosstown rivals are sliding a bit. It is an improbable reversal of fortune, given that the Yankees have dominated the market so clearly since they won four World Series from 1996 to 2000, capped by a triumph over the Mets in the so-called Subway Series.

Question: What area has introduce legislation that may change the voting age.

Efforts to lower the voting age have drawn scattered support at the state and local levels across the country. State Representative Javier Martínez, a Democrat in New Mexico, plans to introduce a bill in January that would lower the voting age to 16 in school board elections. Charles Allen, a member of the Council of the District of Columbia, introduced legislation last month that would give 16- and 17-year-olds the right to vote in local and federal elections. To become law, the measure would require a majority of the district’s 13 council members to support it, and for Congress and the president not to overturn it. Joseph Jackson, 17, a member of the youth council in Richmond, Calif., is working on a draft bill that would lower the voting age in his city’s local elections. He and other teenagers said they already have a lot of responsibility because they can drive, work, pay taxes and be tried in adult court for some offenses. “No taxation without representation is what comes to mind,” Mr. Jackson said.

Question: Who will Dayton play on Sunday?

It was an ugly game — the teams combined for three baskets in the first 11 minutes of play — that eventually gave way to something of an encore for the Dayton fans who had watched their team rally to beat the Broncos on Wednesday. As time ticked off the clock, their cheers boomed off the rafters of the arena. At the beginning of the second half, when the game was tightly contested, the sophomore guard Kyle Davis picked off an inbounds pass, raced downcourt and laid the ball in the basket. The play fueled a rally that gave Dayton its second win in three days. The Flyers will play third-seeded Oklahoma on Sunday evening in the round of 32.

Question: when was woman's suffrage obtained?

Answer: 1920

In 1960, The New York Times published an article with a headline that read, “Road From Sophocles to Spock Is Often a Bumpy One.” It reported on “the problem,” as the president of Barnard College put it, of the educated housewife: her anxiety, frustration and claustrophobia. Phyllis Levin, its author, likened her subjects to “a two-headed schizophrenic” who “used to talk about whether music was frozen architecture, now she talks over frozen food plans.” <hl> Noting that the right to vote had been won in 1920 , Ms. Levin pointed out that “the modern woman” was only 40 years old, and lamented her descent from the ivory tower of academia to “push-button kitchens, supermarkets and finished basements.” <hl> Ms. Levin said recently that she had forgotten the furor her article and others raised (Betty Friedan noted her piece in “The Feminine Mystique”) but does remember being asked to do a book, a proposal she turned down, she said, “because I didn’t have a solution to the problem.”

Question: What type of infection?

A brain infection caused by a parasite was eventually suspected. Slowly, he recovered. “That changed him; it made him live in the moment,” Julie Trice said. “It made him realize that tomorrow is not promised, and neither is the next game.” Healthy again, Travis Trice had time to work out and get stronger. “He got up to maybe 175 pounds,” Izzo said, laughing. “But this past summer, he really advanced a lot physically. And I think he got more confident, too. Travis has always had a high basketball I.Q., but this season, I saw Travis develop in new ways. The last six weeks, he’s just been electric.”

Question: Marcelo owns several guns, what does he shoot during the night shift?

The #nightshift hashtag is especially well populated by the armed professions and the healing ones. Sometimes they are almost one and the same, as in the case of @armedmedic3153, a.k.a. Marcelo Aguirre, a paramedic in Newark and suburban New Jersey. He owns an AR-15, a 9-millimeter and a shotgun, but the only thing he shoots on the night shift is his camera. He works nights so he can study days; he wants to be a doctor. Nights are good preparation for that: You get more serious cases. You learn on the job. A 12-hour course each night you’re on. Twenty-four hours if you take a double. After a while, the adrenaline that juices you when you’re new — when you’re still keeping a tally of the lives you’ve saved — disappears. You just do the job. “High speed and low drag,” Aguirre told me when I called. “Please ignore the siren,” he said. “We’re going to a call.” A stroke. Nothing to get excited about. Coffee sustains him. He stays clean. Some guys, he said, use Provigil, but that’s prescribed. “For shift-work disorder,” he said.

Question: who was on the call with Mr. Boire?

Toys and games, a small but increasingly critical part of the business, provided a bright spot, growing nearly 15 percent in the last quarter.

Question: What's the name of the Rocky Mountain Vet?

Perhaps it seems inefficient to put so much effort into helping individual animals, but the counterweight to that perception is that many of their problems are caused by humans. The rhinoceros, for instance, lost its horn to poachers. Part of the beauty of the presentation is that it lets you work out the ethical issues for yourself rather than beating you over the head with them. That restraint sets “Operation Wild” apart from its cousins on basic cable, where outlets like Animal Planet and the National Geographic Channel have been turning veterinarians into TV stars for years: “Dr. Oakley, Yukon Vet,” “The Incredible Dr. Pol,” “Emergency Vets.” A new entry comes along next Saturday on Animal Planet: “Dr. Jeff, Rocky Mountain Vet.” The differences between that show and “Operation Wild” are pronounced. “Dr. Jeff” is about a Colorado veterinarian named Jeff Young, who has a sprawling practice that includes a mobile clinic. It’s typical of these shows: heavy on cats and dogs, but with a smattering of more exotic domesticated animals. In the premiere, for instance, a camel is gelded.

Perhaps it seems inefficient to put so much effort into helping individual animals, but the counterweight to that perception is that many of their problems are caused by humans.

Question: What did the Highlanders beat the Sharks by?

The 32-24 victory against the Sharks, from South Africa, in Wellington on Saturday night was a case in point. The Hurricanes scored four tries to claim a bonus point in the standings under Super Rugby’s scoring system, but it was a physical and bruising match that saw the lead change hands several times before the New Zealanders landed the knockout blow in the final 10 minutes. The Sharks have struggled this season and were beaten, 48-15, by the Highlanders the previous week, also in New Zealand. But they could well have snatched victory from the Hurricanes but for a disallowed try midway through the second half.

Question: Who is the current president of the Knicks?

The bombardment of loud sounds and bright sights was relentless. Every stoppage of play was put to use. The casts of multiple Broadway shows did musical numbers during some of the extra-long timeouts. In others, celebrated retired players associated with New York basketball, including the current Knicks president, Phil Jackson, were honored at center court. Late in the fourth quarter, fans were encouraged to stand for a karaoke version of “New York, New York.” Almost no one did. There was basketball, too, of sorts. Russell Westbrook of the Oklahoma City Thunder took 28 shots, scored 41 points and won the Most Valuable Player Award. LeBron James of the Cleveland Cavaliers led the Eastern Conference with 30 points. It was the second time that an All-Star team exceeded 160 points; last year was the first.

Question: What team shot well and controlled the scoreboard?

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 did Obama administration indicate?

“Minsk II raises tough questions and leaves difficult issues for later,” said Steven Pifer, a former American ambassador to Ukraine. “It is a fragile arrangement, requiring good faith and follow-through from parties that have shown little of that in the past.” The Obama administration, which has indicated that it would send antitank missiles, surveillance drones and other far more serious battlefield weapons to Ukraine, said those plans would be shelved, for now, but would be revived if the parties failed to honor the agreement.

Question: What player remained on the bench?

Afterward, Manager Terry Collins said Cuddyer had been available, but he had waited too long, and the right situation had never arisen, so Cuddyer remained on the bench. The Mets’ lone hit with runners in scoring position Monday came, of course, from their pitcher, Harvey. With the bases loaded in the fourth, he flipped a single into right field, scoring two runs. He had hit a two-run homer in his previous start, in a two-run Mets win. “Just try to put the ball in play,” Harvey said. The Mets’ pitchers have set an example for the whole team, compiling 17 R.B.I., the most of any pitching staff in baseball. Harvey retired the final 14 batters he faced. Some of the outs were well hit, but he pitched as if he wanted to compensate for those five early runs. Ending with a flourish, he struck out Harper looking at a stinging 98-mile-per-hour fastball, on his 99th and final pitch.

Question: Where did the criticisms come from?

“This is continually evolving, and we made some adjustments early from some of the criticisms we heard from the creative community,” said Joel Stillerman, president of original programming and development for the network. Both Mr. Stillerman and Mr. Collier treasure their relationships with showrunners, including Vince Gilligan, the star creator of “Breaking Bad” and now “Better Call Saul.” Mr. Gilligan appreciated how he could help with marketing efforts for both of his shows, even when he “was a nobody,” he said.

Question: What kind of content is Playboy planning to discontinue?

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.

Question: Mr. Weinberg believes that lenders will need more guidance about what?

The issue is that short-term financing like construction loans, which are usually 12 months or less, is exempt from existing disclosure requirements under the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, but disclosure requirements would apply under the new rules. Lenders need more guidance on the form these disclosures should take, Mr. Weinberg said.

Question: Who is Mr. Fox's lawyer?

Mr. Fox said he had hoped to find a long-term solution for the transportation fund within a year.“I deeply regret we were unable to do so, and with a year behind me, it is time for me to return to the private sector and pursue new opportunities,” he said. A spokesman for the commissioner, Stephen Schapiro, said Mr. Fox declined to comment further. Calls to his lawyer, Robert Fettweis, were not returned on Friday night. On Thursday, Mr. Fox expressed support for a proposal to build a new rail tunnel under the Hudson River, saying that New Jersey Transit, an agency for which he serves as board chairman, looked forward to working with Amtrak on the project. This year, he said the state was facing a transportation funding crisis, a characterization that Mr. Christie has disputed. Veronica Vanterpool, executive director of the Tri-State Transportation Campaign, an advocacy organization, said Mr. Fox had been a “strong advocate” for the state’s transportation system, but had been unable to motivate the state to act with any urgency.

Question: the equilar study found that percentage was?

Pay is also on the rise as courts crack down on compensation plans for non-executive directors. A Delaware court ruled this year that plans should be evaluated under stricter standards, particularly where directors were deciding on equity compensation. The Equilar study found that 97.8 percent of S.&P. 500 company directors had some of their pay in cash, 36 percent had some stock and 59.4 percent had restricted stock units. In health care, 70 percent of the companies offered stock units as part of director pay. In financial services, only 48 percent offered units. Director roles matter, too. Non-executive board chairmen had a median retainer of $387,500, up 12.7 percent from 2010.

Question: Did the person start an organization before junior high?

It was with my classmates. Someone had been stealing from the cubbies in our classroom, and so I organized a couple of my classmates and we started the Star Detective Group. And I got my teacher to sign off on this group to make it legit, and we then investigated. When I got to junior high, I organized a walkout from the school to protest the first Iraq war. But I also got it endorsed by the teachers, because I was never too much of a rebel. I also learned resilience from my mother. The confidence that you have to have as a survival skill — I saw that in her and learned that from her. You have to feel that your voice matters and that you can drive change and impact change, because if you feel like you can’t, then you won’t.
