Question: how long was Ms. Davis jail stay?

A federal judge on Wednesday denied Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis a stay of his order requiring her office to issue marriage licenses to all eligible couples. It was the latest setback for the clerk, who objects to same-sex marriage on religious grounds and was previously jailed rather than issue licenses to gay couples. Ms. Davis has repeatedly asked Judge David L. Bunning of Federal District Court to put a hold on his orders requiring the issuance of marriage licenses while she appeals. Her latest request stems from Judge Bunning’s order making it clear that his decision applied to all eligible couples and was not limited to the couples who had sued her. Judge Bunning said Wednesday that without the clarification, he would have "left other eligible couples at the mercy of Davis’s ‘no marriages policy.’ " He wrote, “Such an approach would not only create piecemeal litigation, it would be inconsistent with basic principles of justice and fairness." Ms. Davis spent five days in jail earlier in September. Her release was conditioned in part on her not interfering with the issuance of marriage licenses by her office.

Answer: five days

Question: Why was Moreno not sent back to the minors?

Asked if he had thought the ball was out, Gregorius said, “Until I got robbed, yeah.” Then in the fifth, Mitchell just missed getting his glove on Adam Eaton’s single up the middle. After a wild pitch, Tyler Saladino followed with another grounder up the middle, which gave the White Sox a 3-1 lead and spelled the end for Mitchell, who gave up seven hits and struck out five. Moreno came in for his first appearance since throwing five and a third innings of no-hit relief Tuesday against Texas, a stint that kept him from being returned to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre for a fresher arm. But it quickly became apparent that Moreno would not repeat that performance. He nicked Jose Abreu on the elbow and then surrendered Cabrera’s home run.

Question: Why did Ms. Harper need a scholarship?

The young woman’s mother, who immigrated from the Philippines, said that she had shared Filipino meals with Ms. Harper, and that Ms. Harper had taught her how to drive. She wrote a letter of support when Ms. Harper was applying for a $1,500 scholarship to continue her nursing studies. The family still has Ms. Harper’s thank you card. “Once again, thank you so very much for helping me with my scholarship application,” the note says. “Now I can attend the nursing program without having to stress out about tuition!”

Question: What is the name of the state representative that sponsored the legislation?

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 was the street entertainment?

⬥ “I’d be delighted,” replies John Delahunt, a student at Trinity College, when the young socialite Helen Stokes asks him to accompany her to a hanging. That colorful street entertainment is one of many striking set pieces in THE CONVICTIONS OF JOHN DELAHUNT (Pegasus, $24.95), a remarkable first novel that Andrew Hughes has set in 1840s Dublin and based on crimes of that period. The lovely Helen seems the perfect mate for Delahunt, who was executed, for killing a little boy, in full view of a mob of 10,000 souls in 1842. Hughes challenges historical accounts of Delahunt’s infamous career with an incisive portrait of an impoverished scholar lured into becoming a paid police informant. Urged by his corrupt handlers to bring them murderers (the big money is always in murder), he starts framing innocent people and then, in desperation, begins committing crimes himself. At once a close character study and a sweeping panorama of the era of “dissectionists” who buy bodies for medical research and the “resurrectionists” who dig them up, this fascinating book is a stirring work of fiction and a perceptive chapter in Ireland’s social history. ⬥

Question: What is the traditional culture in Siem Reap?

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: What is Russell Brand known for?

LONDON — In one of the more bizarre moments of a tight British election campaign, the Labour leader, Ed Miliband, went in the dead of night Monday to the apartment of Russell Brand, a bawdy comedian, to give him an interview, which was posted Wednesday on YouTube. Mr. Brand, who is also known for his expletive-filled rants against politics and politicians, has publicly urged Britons not to vote at all. But he is popular with young people, and Mr. Miliband in a tight race needs every vote he can get to become prime minister after the May 7 election.

Question: What was the average monthly payroll increase in 2013?

In addition to announcing 211,000 new hires last month — a bit more than Wall Street had expected — the Labor Department also revised upward its earlier estimate of job creation in September and October by a total of 26,000 jobs. The unemployment rate was unchanged at 5 percent. The labor market strength evident in the November data removes the last major uncertainty before the Fed decision. “This is a green light from our perspective,” said Phil Orlando, chief equity strategist at Federated Investors. Wall Street, which in the past has sold off after strong jobs data and the prospect of higher interest rates, greeted the report with enthusiasm, perhaps because it removes any remaining uncertainty about the Fed’s plans. Stocks reversed Thursday’s losses and rose more than 2 percent; bond yields fell slightly.  The report on Friday echoes other recent positive data on job openings, new weekly claims for unemployment benefits and private payroll surveys, Mr. Orlando added. “This is a good number for liftoff,” he said, referring to the expected move by the central bank, which has held rates near zero since December 2008. Over all, the Labor Department data painted a picture of an economy that is growing steadily and creating jobs at a healthy pace, even as wage gains remain subdued and many Americans are still stuck on the sidelines of the recovery. If hiring continues at a healthy pace next year, as most economists now predict, it could also blunt Republican criticism in the presidential campaign of Democratic economic policies, which have been a prominent target for the current crop of G.O.P. candidates. With an average monthly payroll increase of 210,000 so far this year, the 211,000 gain in November — though still subject to revision — has a metronome-like element of consistency. It is also near the average monthly increase of 199,000 in 2013 and 260,000 in 2014. “For a long time, I’ve thought the labor market was in pretty good shape, and this just confirms that,” said Scott Clemons, chief investment strategist at Brown Brothers Harriman in New York. After the release of the jobs report, the president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia, Patrick T. Harker, added his voice to the chorus of Fed officials who said it was time for the central bank to raise interest rates.

Question: Who is the president of the Auvergne region?

It was also in August that Marine Le Pen, the leader of France’s far-right National Front, expelled her father, Jean-Marie, from the party he co-founded for refusing to repudiate its anti-Semitic past, which she fears will damage her chances in the 2017 presidential election. Local residents point out that the National Front never established a strong following here, and that the president of the Auvergne region, René Souchon, is a Socialist. “Cautious, perhaps, but not xenophobic or nationalist” is how Mr. Gendre describes the relatively conservative politics of Vichy. In the second and final round of regional elections on Dec. 13, the right-of-center Republicans won with 51 percent of the vote. The National Front came in third with 20 percent. In 2008, the city hosted a European Union conference organized by Brice Hortefeux, President Nicolas Sarkozy’s minister of immigration and integration. Although 27 ministers and high-ranking representatives of the union attended, many in France were outraged by the choice of location. Before World War II, that choice would most likely have been applauded. Vichy was an established settlement in Roman times, and by the 17th century, its waters were already known for their curative powers. Napoleon III, believing that his rheumatism had been conquered there, commissioned the casino and the first grand hotels. One reason that the puppet government chose Vichy as its capital during World War II was its many hotels. The many architectural styles that rise from its well-preserved boulevards and streets prompted The Guardian to once refer to it as “a melancholy fragmentation of Bournemouth, Brighton, Bath, Baden Baden and Brigadoon.” The city’s longtime mayor, Claude Malhuret, a former president of Doctors Without Borders, seems, like many here, perplexed and slightly defensive over how to respond to the enduring stigma. “There are many stories about this city, and then there’s the truth,” he said, “because that period was very complicated and has been incorrectly defining this city for too long.”

Question: Zen is an example of what technique?

Will it? Meditation is exploding in popularity. There are classes to learn meditation in all its flavors: mindfulness-based stress reduction, transcendental meditation, Zen and more. There are meditation events with power-networking opportunities built in. Drop by The Path in New York, and you can mingle with people in tech, film, fashion and the arts. Pay a visit to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, and you get to do an early morning guided meditation with global leaders. As Arianna Huffington has said, C.E.O.s are increasingly coming out of the closet — as meditators. Before we’re all swept into this fad, we ought to ask why meditation is useful. So I polled a group of meditation researchers, teachers and practitioners on why they recommend it. I liked their answers, but none of them were unique to meditation. Every benefit of the practice can be gained through other activities. This is the conclusion from an analysis of 47 trials of meditation programs, published last year in JAMA Internal Medicine: “We found no evidence that meditation programs were better than any active treatment (i.e., drugs, exercise and other behavioral therapies).”

Every benefit of the practice can be gained through other activities. This is the conclusion from an analysis of 47 trials of meditation programs, published last year in JAMA Internal Medicine: “We found no evidence that meditation programs were better than any active treatment (i.e., drugs, exercise and other behavioral therapies).”

Will it? <hl> Meditation <hl> is exploding in popularity. There are classes to learn meditation in all its flavors: mindfulness-based stress reduction, transcendental meditation, Zen and more. There are meditation events with power-networking opportunities built in. Drop by The Path in New York, and you can mingle with people in tech, film, fashion and the arts. Pay a visit to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, and you get to do an early morning guided meditation with global leaders.

Question: What was notable of the person's parent's houses?

And I grew up in these two different cultural households. My dad’s household was all white, and my mother and my two older sisters are black. I’m the only one who’s biracial. So I found myself always being a bridge in terms of culture and different classes. In my home in the city, we were poor. My dad’s household was working-class, but there was always food on the table. Growing up with those two very distinct experiences started to form my relationship with the world and with people in different communities, and seeing both differences and similarities.

Question: Who is the file clerk that is now invisible?
