Question: How is Buddha's appearance described?

Technically, they’re demons, but they’re also fantastical fun, as are many of Buddhism’s supporting players, with their folk-art additives. These include guardian ogres with faces like pugs with tusks and nymphs with half-bird, half human bodies who, with a pretty dance and a flutter of stained-glass wings, bid you goodbye at the end of the show. But before you leave, there are a couple of things worth an extra look. One, in a case between the two nymphs, is a 17th-century gilded bronze image of the seated Buddha. With his short neck, cool shape-up haircut, plain off-the-shoulder robe, and round face bent forward and down, he’s as close as any Myanmar work here comes to embodying a Buddhist physical ideal.

Question: What was the short phrase used for raising a family?

Readers responded on the Times Facebook page and on Twitter to Heather Havrilesky’s review of “Spinster: Making a Life of One’s Own,” by Kate Bolick (April 19). Here’s what some of them had to say. If people only knew what an adventure trying to raise a family is. While this lifestyle may be fine for a few, I feel bad for all the impressionable people who will lead unsatisfying lives pursuing the narcissistic fantasies laid out here. I’ve tried it. . . .

Question: What is a common approach to help law school graduates gain experience?

Though not eligible for the program, Jared Brenner, 25, a recent Brooklyn Law School graduate with a job offer from a large firm to do transactional work for start-up companies, believed it would encourage students to take risks after leaving school. Brooklyn Law School graduates could pursue their passion, he said, knowing that the school would provide some financial relief if that pursuit proved fruitless. Mr. Leipold, of the law placement association, said Brooklyn Law School’s program struck him as unusual, though he noted that other law schools were trying different ways to help students navigate a challenging job market. “It’s a time of experimentation and risk-taking for law schools,” he said. A more common approach, he said, was for schools to finance fellowships for students, often at nonprofits, to help them gain experience until they can find full-time jobs. Such programs can, however, be expensive for the schools, he added. For Brian Hoffman, 25, who, like Ms. Friedman, has started a two-year program at Brooklyn Law School, the tuition-reimbursement program provides some reassurance. “It’s something that I hope I don’t have to bank on,” he said, “but it’s nice to have.”

Question: What year is Joan Miró’s clairvoyant masterpiece from?

“The Birth of the World,” Joan Miró’s clairvoyant masterpiece from 1927, presaged much of postwar American painting — the early date can elicit a double take when you see it at the Museum of Modern Art. Its expansive surface of thin gray pours and washes, and the delicate lines and shapes in black, red and white that dance across them, open a pathway to so much: the automatic drawing of Surrealism, the frank painterliness and scale of Abstract Expressionism and the lightness and elegance of Color Field painting. So when Miró (1893-1983) took tips from the Abstract Expressionists on his first trip to New York in 1947 and again in 1959, he was learning from artists who had already learned from him. This fascinating show proposes that encountering New York painting enabled Miró to lose some of his refinement and play up a roughness and scale only intermittently visible before. Rather than delicate and nib thin, his lines thickened, brightened and became more dominant, no longer subservient to shapes. “Bird in the Night” is spareness itself: not much more than an open black ovoid and a looping red wishbone that effortlessly summon nest, egg and occupant. Elsewhere Miró improvised layer upon layer, adding a parade of harlequin creatures over a big brown splash of runny paint in “Figures, Birds,” and in “Woman and Bird in the Night,” girdling a series of colorful dots and scribbles in black. Nearly every canvas here is a different excursion into paint, materiality and poetic suggestion. The ensemble enlarges and contemporizes Miró, especially in a commercial gallery’s relatively intimate viewing conditions.

Question: Nowadays, what follows the welcome party?

Today, Ms. Post said, “Websites and magazines portray a far more accurate, more realistic reflection of what’s expected from us behaviorally at a wedding, and therefore people are acting better.

Question: what causes the data fluctuations?

What You’ll Pay In the third quarter of 2015, the median sales price of a condo in Clinton Hill was $849,000, an increase of 28 percent from the same period last year, according to Gregory J.

Question: What do some soldiers forget on their first day of excercise

In the first two weeks of training, the Americans found the Ukrainians’ soldierly skills lacking, and the group generally in need of instruction. “I came into it expecting them not to know much of the basics,” said Sgt. Michael Faranda, who is teaching maneuvers. He was correct. Things “every soldier should know,” he said, they did not. Some even forgot their helmets on the first day of exercises. Still, Sergeant Faranda said, the Ukrainians’ willingness to go into combat was all the more notable for their lack of preparation for it.

Question: in what year did Dr. Fah arrive at Lynchburg ?

“But there was an acceptance and a respect between us,” Dr. Fahs said. “Every woman there was respected and taught to have strong opinions. I spent my junior year in Paris, and came back to a campus that was up in arms about the invasion of Cambodia. The Princeton boys came down to lead us, but we were Sweet Briar women and we had learned to be leaders. We stayed in charge.” The Sweet Briar finishing-school moniker hit her only once, when she was at graduate school back in Michigan, where she earned a doctorate in health management and policy. “What were you doing at a place like Sweet Briar?” her adviser asked. By the late 1960s, colleges and universities across the country were struggling to remake themselves, roiled by social revolution, the civil rights and antiwar movements and the nascent feminist advances. In the fall of 1967, Dr. Fah’s classmate Michela English arrived in Lynchburg wearing the uniform of young women everywhere: Pappagallo shoes, a Villager dress and a circle pin.

Question: Why do police commanders and prosecutors support camera use?

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 show did Mr. Holden win Tony awards for?

Before going upstairs, don’t miss Mr. Holder’s two Tony Awards on the opposite wall. Then head to the final leg of the exhibition, which is mostly about the show behind those Tonys: “The Wiz.” You’ll find Mr. Holder’s sketches for the costumes, as well as photos from rehearsals and the costume for the lead character, Dorothy. For anyone planning to catch SummerStage’s free performances of “The Wiz: A Celebration in Dance and Music,” from Aug. 12-14, the collection is a good warm-up that may leave you whistling “Ease on Down the Road.” (Through Aug. 29 at 40 Lincoln Center Plaza; 917-275-6975; nypl.org.)

Question: What legislation did the President recommend that failed to gain traction in congress?

A wide range of research, for example, has found that people are far more likely to save through a 401(k) savings plan if their employer automatically enrolls them. But only in 2009 were I.R.S. rules put into effect to make clear that is an acceptable practice and what employers must do to make auto-enrollment legal. And the president has proposed more extensive legislation, which hasn’t gone anywhere in Congress, allowing “Automatic I.R.A.s.” This idea, floated years ago by the conservative Heritage Foundation, would create retirement plans run through employers in which people cannot opt out. That would ensure that everyone who works will accumulate retirement savings. The system of retirement savings as it exists today actually requires any American hoping for a comfortable standard of living to have a fair amount of foresight and financial savvy to save enough and put investments in appropriate vehicles. We’re not going back to the paternalistic days when your employer took care of everything and all you needed to do upon turning 65 was cash a pension check every month. But take these proposals together, and you can see a possible vision of what retirement savings in the 21st century might look like if President Obama gets his way. It will still revolve around tax-advantaged individual accounts invested in private accounts, with all the risk that implies. But the system may have a few more built-in safeguards to protect people from themselves.

Question: Who wants gay superheros to be normal?

Phil Jimenez, an artist known for his work on Wonder Woman and the Amazing Spider-Man comics, says that many readers no longer want to see the effeminate stereotype of the gay man in comics. Instead, they want gay superheroes to embody normative behavior — to live as typical males. “As long as the dude is dude enough, then he’s acceptable,” he said. Mr. Jimenez, who was recently featured on an  installment of the PBS Digital Studios series “First Person” that looked at queerness in comics, applauded efforts by mainstream publishers to reach gay and lesbian readers, saying it was a smart business move.

Question: Who anticipated leaving one million acres of land?

The federal government has warned farmers for the second year in a row that it would not be providing any water from its Central Valley Project reservoir system. Any hope climatologists had that California would be rescued again by a wet El Niño winter weather system is fading with the arrival of spring. State regulators voted Tuesday to impose a new round of water conservation rules, including sharp restrictions on landscape watering and orders to restaurants not to serve water to customers unless asked. Farmers said they anticipated leaving as much as one million acres fallow, nearly twice the area that went unplanted last year.

State regulators voted Tuesday to impose a new round of water conservation rules, including sharp restrictions on landscape watering and orders to restaurants not to serve water to customers unless asked. <hl> Farmers <hl> said they anticipated leaving as much as one million acres fallow, nearly twice the area that went unplanted last year.


Question: how many deferments did trump get?

And then Trump insulted John McCain, saying he was only a war hero because he got captured, adding, “I like people that weren’t captured, O.K.?” McCain spent five and a half years as a P.O.W. in Vietnam and was repeatedly tortured and had his bones broken. As CNN reported, “Trump, meanwhile, received four student deferments and one medical deferment to avoid serving in the Vietnam War.” What does it mean to impugn a man who has sacrificed so much for his country? It means you can smear anyone. Last week another redline was crossed. At a Trump town hall event, the first questioner began: “We got a problem in this country. It’s called Muslims. We know our current president is one. We know he’s not even an American. But anyway. We have training camps brewing where they want to kill us. That’s my question. When can we get rid of them?”

Question: Who is the representative of realChange Partners?

“Help us raise back the $100,000 a donor asked us to return because we welcome transgender girls,” read the headline on the page, which included a video about the Girl Scouts’ commitment to inclusivity. In a little over five hours, Ms. Ferland says, the site had already received over $100,000 in donations. By the end of that first day, the number was up to $243,958 from 4,760 donors. By the time the fund-raising effort was concluded a month later, the organization had raised $365,573. It was a victory for the Girl Scouts and a lesson for the philanthropic community. “The lesson for the fund-raising community is that if you’re interested in accessing the L.G.B.T. market, your values have to be those of inclusiveness,” says Mickey MacIntyre of realChange Partners, a consultant for nonprofits, focusing on L.G.B.T. issues.

Question: Di Tzeitung is based in what city?

An Irish satirical news source, Waterford Whispers, responded by posting its own “feminist newspaper photoshop,” featuring the same Paris street scene with three female leaders depicted, but no men. Newspapers catering to ultra-Orthodox Jews have been embarrassed before by their handling of news photographs depicting women. In 2011, Di Tzeitung, a Brooklyn-based publication, apologized for digitally altering a photograph to remove Hillary Rodham Clinton, who was then secretary of state, and another woman from a scene in the White House Situation Room.

Question: What did Daru refuse to do that Balducci required of him?

One day, a gendarme, Balducci (Vincent Martin), rides up on horseback to Daru’s schoolhouse with an Arab prisoner, Mohamed (Reda Kateb), on foot. Balducci explains that the prisoner, who’s never named in the Camus story, has cut the throat of a cousin (“like a sheep”) and now Daru needs to take Mohamed to another town for some French justice and certain death. Daru refuses, but when Balducci rides off, the teacher is left with Mohamed and a quandary. After giving Mohamed dinner and a bed, and after a restive night with a gun by his side, Daru wakes to tell Mohamed that he can leave of his own accord. This seems as if it should be an easy call, but Daru’s assumptions about free will don’t pan out. Mohamed refuses to flee.

Question: What year did Barney Frank step down from office?

9 P.M. (Showtime) COMPARED TO WHAT? THE IMPROBABLE JOURNEY OF BARNEY FRANK (2015) Retirement, according to the cranky Mr. Frank, has some benefits. “I don’t even have to pretend to try to be nice to people I don’t like,” that Massachusetts representative and Democrat said before stepping down in 2013, tapping into what Rachel Maddow called “a sense of humor that he wields like a wrecking ball.” This documentary chronicles Mr. Frank’s 32 turbulent years in Congress, where he was chairman of the Financial Services Committee as Wall Street was imploding. He also became the first sitting member to marry a same-sex partner when, in 2012, he and Jim Ready promised to love each other “for better or for worse, on MSNBC or on Fox.” (Image: Mr. Frank, center, and Mr. Ready, right)

Question: In what year did Fred Sonic Smith pass on?

“Throughout my life, I happily deferred to family, companions, children,” she said. “This was mine. I didn’t have to compromise, and I say that in the best of ways.” In 1994, within the space of a few weeks, Ms. Smith lost her husband, the musician Fred Sonic Smith, to heart failure, and her brother, Todd Smith, who was also her road manager, to a stroke. Almost two decades later, Ms. Smith was still making peace with their absence. Those losses, and newer, fresher sorrows, pierce her elegiac new book, “M Train,” which in its own elliptical way is as much a love story about her late husband as “Just Kids,” her stunning 2010 memoir of youth and bohemia, was about Robert Mapplethorpe. The book, out next week, is a sort of first salvo before the 40th anniversary of “Horses,” the 68-year-old poet/rocker/visual artist/author’s historic first album. Ms. Smith, who spent her summer on a 45-city concert tour of Europe, is about to embark on an 18-city book tour, after which follows another grueling performance schedule that has her working, quite happily, into January.

Question: What type of cameras are being used?

Police departments around the country have been moving with unusual speed to equip officers with body cameras to film their often edgy encounters with the public. But the adoption of these cameras has created a new conflict over who has the right to view the recordings. In Seattle, where a dozen officers started wearing body cameras in a pilot program in December, the department has set up its own YouTube channel, broadcasting a stream of blurred images to protect the privacy of people filmed. Much of this footage is uncontroversial; one scene shows a woman jogging past a group of people and an officer watching her, then having a muted conversation with people whose faces have been obscured.

Question: What unit are these patients in?

“Nightwalkers,” Pierre Bell calls the men and women who find their peace after-hours. He’s new to the night himself, working as a nurse’s aide on the behavior unit at an assisted-living home in Akron, Ohio. “What’s behavior?” I asked. “Combative,” he said. “Lockdown. Spit, kick, hit, bite.” Sounds terrible, I said. It’s not, he told me, especially at night, when the anger subsides, and when the alarm I can hear beeping in the background is an event rather than a constant song. The other aide will get that one. Bell, a 28-year-old father of a 9-month-old, was sitting with the nightwalkers. The strange ones, the restless ones, the storytellers. “Some were in wars,” he told me. “Some were teachers.” Sometimes they talk for hours. If they’re up, he’s up. It feels to him like a matter of courtesy. The behavior unit is his patients’ home. He’s only visiting. Trying out the night they live in.

Question: What orientation has nothing to do with ability to be a good parent?

Question: What type of instrument Mr. Bridges  plays at the end of his main set?

But it also does him a disservice. What if it turns out that this isn’t Mr. Bridges’s true context after all? At the end of his main set — after the sax subsided, after the strolling bass stopped strolling — he stood onstage, clutching an acoustic guitar. Accompanied only by his backup singer, he began to play “River.” It’s the final song on his album, and the one on which the allusions to Mr. Cooke are the strongest, taking advantage of the slickness of Mr. Bridges’s voice. But here, he did something different with it: His voice was raspy, exhausted, unkempt. For the whole night, he’d been a character in some elaborate, underwhelming music trompe l’oeil. But stripped free of context, and unburdened by expectations, he was riveting. And timeless.

Question: Who is the foreign minister of Lithuania?

“I see no reason to delay,” said Linas Linkevicius, the foreign minister of Lithuania. He noted that a cease-fire, known as the Minsk agreement, between the Ukrainian government and Russian-backed separatist rebels had not yet been fully carried out. “If we don’t see real progress in the implementation of the Minsk agreement, then we need to go further,” said Didier Reynders, the Belgian foreign minister. “Without that, we need to prolong the sanctions.” Federica Mogherini, the high representative of the European Union for foreign affairs and security policy, told reporters at a news conference on Monday that the union could reach a political decision as soon as Thursday at the summit meeting here. “The general assessment today was clearly going in the direction of the rollover of sanctions,” she said.

Question: What did Mr. Menendez plan to do with his career during the case?

“Many of the motions raise important and novel legal questions that often require review by trial and appellate courts,” Mr. Lowell said. “The government, we, and even the court in this case acknowledged that additional review would occur here no matter how the motions were decided.” A Justice Department spokesman declined to comment on Monday’s decision. Mr. Menendez has vowed to stay in office while fighting the case against him in court, though he gave up his position as the senior Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee after being indicted.

Question: Products will become cheaper for customers who pay in what type of currency?

The weaker euro is a mixed blessing for the struggling eurozone economy. European exporters will gain a competitive advantage against foreign rivals because their products will become cheaper for customers who pay in dollars or other currencies that tend to track with the dollar. A weaker euro could also push up inflation — a desirable outcome at the moment — because foreign goods would become more expensive in euro terms. With the collapse of the crude oil market adding to the downward pressure, economists expect an official report next Wednesday to show that consumer prices fell at an annual rate of about 0.1 percent in December, down from the rate of 0.3 percent in November. However, a weaker euro also has negative effects in the eurozone. Because oil is usually priced in dollars, a weak euro cancels out some of the economic benefit from the recent drop in oil prices. Cheaper energy is good for companies because it reduces production costs for factories. Consumers benefit because they pay less for fuel and can spend the money on other things.

Question: What is 19th-century ballet considered to be?

The 19th-century ballets tend to be labeled the classics, and “The Sleeping Beauty” (1890) has long been considered the most classical. It’s fair to say that Ballet Theater’s production of “Beauty,” directed by Alexei Ratmansky, is the most historically informed and sensitive production of any classic in our time. Perhaps its most startling suggestion is that we should reconsider the classicism of its master-choreographer, Marius Petipa. I’ve been watching this ballet for 40 years — but here the lines, phrasing, steps, extensions, footwork, turn-out, story-telling and mood are all different from what I’ve known. It’ll take a lot of getting used to. But it’s so musical that it’s immediately persuasive.

Question: Which non-profit organization certifies the chocolate in Magnum ice cream bars?

Unilever’s sustainability measures can have ripple effects. The Rainforest Alliance, which has been certifying farmers in the developing world for decades, now certifies the chocolate for Magnum ice cream bars, the vanilla in Breyers ice cream, and the leaves in Lipton tea bags. After Unilever began using certified tea, other big tea producers including Twinings and Tata followed suit. “It’s more effective than anything else going on out there,” said Ana Paula Taveres, interim president of the Rainforest Alliance. “In a capitalist world, Unilever is using the global market to drive sustainability.”

Question: What year did Mr. Shoemaker read "Notes From a Beach Found at Carmel"?

Over lunch, Mr. Shoemaker said that he first heard of Mr. Connell while listening to the KPFA radio show hosted by the poet Kenneth Rexroth. “He had his growly, gravelly voice,” Mr. Shoemaker said, “and he said, ‘I’ve just finished reading the best book by an American perhaps ever. “Notes From a Beach Found at Carmel” — whatever you do, get a copy, read it, get it, this is one of the great books ever.’ Rexroth had that kind of power.” So Mr. Shoemaker read that book, in 1962. Around the same time, he met Mr. Connell at the No Name, where Mr. Shoemaker had first gone with the Beat poet Lew Welch, whose work he had published. Mr. Welch was dating a local woman named Magda Cregg. “She had a son,” Mr. Shoemaker said, “who became known as Huey Lewis — he chose Lewis because he loved Lew Welch. Lewie always told me that he taught Huey Lewis how to sing.” “Sausalito had the Tides,” Mr. Shoemaker said, “which was a very famous bookstore at the time. It was owned by a couple of people who were friends of Evan’s, a couple of doors beyond No Name. And those guys, the owners, bought the Washington Square Bar and Grill, otherwise known as the Washbag, which was one of the famous North Beach literary bars, famous for their softball team — Herb Caen played, and Claes Oldenburg made them a bat.”

Question: What are two things South Korea provides North Korean defectors with?

Historically, the North’s propagandists vilified the South and its economy, but now that more Northerners know some of the truth through illegally smuggled South Korean television shows and other contraband, Pyongyang has redefined the difference in economies in relative terms: Though South Korea may be rich, any North Koreans foolish enough to chase Southern dreams will only find a life of hardship and poverty there. The double defectors play right into Pyongyang’s new narrative. Many of them are featured in scripted press conferences in which they claim to have encountered a life of misery in the South. The double-defector propaganda has also given the regime a defense against human rights criticism from abroad: If North Korea really is so  horrible, why do so many people keep returning? South Korea already provides a lot of support for defectors, including living expenses and a place to live. It also helps with our education and finding jobs. Despite this generous assistance, which some struggling South Koreans resent, we need more emotional support and ongoing counseling to help with the integration process.

Question: Who are the couple trying to reason with?

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.”

Question: What was said in an email statement by Dolan regarding Thomas' guilt or innocence in the harrassment case?

“We did not believe the allegations then and we don’t believe them now,” the statement noted. “We feel strongly that Isiah Thomas was held responsible for sordid allegations that were completely unrelated to him, and for which M.S.G. bore responsibility.” Several problems arise here. The facts of the Browne harassment case are no longer “allegations.” A jury verdict is not a friendly tap on your shoulder or advice whispered in your ear. You appeal a verdict or accept it, at which point, like freshly poured concrete, it quickly hardens into accepted fact.

Question: Who asked Mrs. Clinton to make a Snapchat video?

Moments later, when a college student asked Mrs. Clinton to make a Snapchat video saying, “You’re fired, Donald Trump,” she demurred. “I’m not going to say that,” she said, as if to do so would cross a line. Instead, she agreed to make a lighthearted, quick video for the young man that did not mention Mr. Trump. On Thursday night, when asked about Mr. Trump in an appearance on NBC’s “Late Night with Seth Meyers,” Mrs. Clinton said, “You know, I have to say, Seth. I no longer think he’s funny," adding that Mr. Trump’s latest comments had “gone way over the line.” Mrs. Clinton is not the only Democrat struggling to settle on a strategy for responding to Mr. Trump’s campaign, the unpredictable Republican race and what Mr. Trump’s appeal says about the mood of the electorate.

Question: Who is Carpe Diem's trainer?

J.D.: He twice finished a head behind my top choice, Dortmund, before winning the Sunland Derby in New Mexico. I’m hoping he is overlooked on Derby Day. M.H.: This speedy and improving colt showed in the Sunland that he could win with ease once free of his shadow. Of course, that will not be the case in the Derby.  4. Carpe Diem  Trainer: Todd Pletcher Jockey: John Velazquez Record: 5-4-1-0 Points: 164 Odds: 10-1 J.D.: Seemingly the only real threat from the East, this colt has won races without working up much of a sweat. He is going to like the Derby’s mile-and-a-quarter distance. M.H.: He has shown that he deserves to be in the conversation with Baffert’s big guns. Still, he did not pull away from the Blue Grass Stakes field as much as I expected; Dortmund looked more dominant that day in Santa Anita.
