Question: What should East had bid?

With the deal counted out, South cashed his diamond ace and club queen, bringing everyone down to three cards. Declarer held the heart K-8-7, West the heart J-10-6 and dummy the heart 9-5-3. South led a low heart from his hand to hold West to one more trick. Manley took two spades, three hearts, one diamond and three clubs. Plus 150 was a near top on the board. West’s intervention with 4-4 in the majors at unfavorable vulnerability isn’t recommended. But it could have worked well if East had bid one diamond, not one spade. As it went, though, West’s bid helped Manley to read the deal perfectly.

Question: At what type of event did Joe Thomas discuss his thoughts on the supposed quarterback controversy?

4:05 p.m. Line: Chargers by 9 The supposed quarterback controversy in Cleveland may be about page views more than reality. TMZ reported that some Browns starters were pushing for Johnny Manziel to regain the starting position. But players have flatly denied it. “My first take was that it sounded like a story that came from The Onion and not TMZ, not that TMZ’s really a reputable news source with hard-hitting journalism,” Joe Thomas, the team’s left tackle, said at a charity event. “But to me, it was just something that was crafted from thin air.”

Question: Where does Ms. Basford reside?

There are, it seems, a lot of them. Though it is tempting to describe the market for her books as niche, Ms. Basford, a 31-year-old illustrator in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, has quickly outgrown that label. Like Play-Doh, jungle gyms and nursery rhymes, coloring books have always seemed best suited for the preschool set. So Ms. Basford and her publisher were surprised to learn that there was a robust — and lucrative — market for coloring books aimed at grown-ups. When they first tested the waters with “Secret Garden” a year ago, they released a cautiously optimistic first printing of 16,000 books. “I thought my mom was going to have to buy a lot of copies,” Ms. Basford said. “When the sales started to take off, it was a real shock.”

Question: Where is the advertising company Grupo ABC located?

Ad holding companies have also been looking elsewhere for longer-term growth opportunities. Omnicom, for instance, announced in November that one of its divisions, DDB Worldwide, had acquired Grupo ABC, an advertising group in Brazil. With the deal, Interpublic gains a majority stake in the Russian affiliates of three of its most well-known global creative agencies — McCann, Mullen Lowe and FCB. ADV shareholders will remain minority owners of the agencies. Financial terms were not disclosed, but a person familiar with the deal said it was valued at between $10 million and $20 million; Interpublic sets aside $150 million a year for acquisitions.

Question: What decade was Al Qaeda considered a small, close group?

Fourteen years after four men were convicted in a trial stemming from the deadly 1998 bombings of two United States Embassies in East Africa, a third trial in that attack began in Manhattan on Thursday. The defendant, Khaled al-Fawwaz, is one of the earliest and most senior alleged members of Al Qaeda to be tried in the United States. In an opening statement at the trial, a federal prosecutor, Nicholas J. Lewin, depicted Mr. Fawwaz as a loyal and trusted operative who had worked for Osama bin Laden in the 1990s when Al Qaeda was a small, tight-knit group.

Question: What does Leive say the rich would keep to themselves if it was that great?

I think everybody does better if they really like some aspect of what they’re doing, but work is work. We can’t all work in jobs where we feel like our heart is singing every day. There’s that old expression, “If work was that great, the rich would keep it for themselves.” The idea that your job is going to make your heart sing on a daily basis is just not true. If that’s the expectation of a 25-year-old today, they’re going to be sorely disappointed. But you can aim for a pretty good heart-singing-to-bummed-out ratio.

Question: In which of of the knee did Rose injured?

Rose, cleared medically but uncertain of his own health, was accused of a lack of toughness and a me-first attitude. When he finally returned for the next season, 2013-14, another injury — this time a torn medial meniscus in his right knee — felled him in only his 10th game. Rose aggravated the injury this season, had surgery and missed a quarter of the campaign; he returned just before the end of the regular season. In his absence, the Bulls were a scrappy underdog — a solid regular-season team that lacked the star power for playoff crunchtime. On Saturday, they had the look of a championship contender.

Question: how many refugees fled to Lebanon?

Mr. Abou Zeid said the current trash crisis also did not bode well for the government’s ability to deal with the country’s other problems. “If on such local matters they can’t even function and agree, how can they agree on the bigger issues?” Mr. Zeid said. The civil war in neighboring Syria and the more than 1.2 million refugees who have fled to Lebanon are taxing the economy and the government’s ability to provide services. Political divisions have left the country without a president for 14 months, and the current Parliament extended its own mandate last year, essentially re-electing itself after failing to agree on a law to govern new elections. Dysfunctional politics are nothing new in Lebanon, a country with 4.2 million people before the Syrian civil war. Since Lebanon’s own civil war that ended in 1990, a constellation of mostly sectarian political parties have tried to govern the country through consensus — a commodity often in short supply.

Question: How many US military trained the Ukrainian in remedial military instructions?

For a moment, he twirled the rope in his hands like a lasso, then threw the hook over the wire, and tugged hard, testing for explosives. When nothing happened he signaled two comrades, who ran up and started snipping the wire with cutters. Although this was a typical training exercise for raw recruits in an elemental soldierly skill, there was nothing typical about the scene. Far from enlistees, these soldiers were regulars in the Ukrainian National Guard, presumably battle-hardened after months on the front lines in eastern Ukraine. And the trainer was an American military instructor, drilling troops for battle with the United States’ former Cold War foe, Russia, and Russian-backed separatists. “It’s been a long time since I heard a target called an Ivan,” First Sgt. David Dzwik, one of the trainers, said in an interview out in the sunny forest, while observing the Ukrainians run through drills. “Now, I’m hearing it again.” The course on cutting wire is one of 63 classes of remedial military instruction being provided by 300 United States Army trainers in three consecutive two-month courses. Here in western Ukraine, they are far from the fighting, and their job is to instill some basic military know-how in Ukrainian soldiers, who the trainers have discovered are woefully unprepared. The largely unschooled troops are learning such basic skills as how to use an encrypted walkie-talkie; how to break open a door with a sledgehammer and a crowbar; and how to drag a wounded colleague across a field while holding a rifle at the ready. When the war began a year ago, the Ukrainian Army was all but worthless — rife with corruption and Russian spies, and made up largely of “skeleton” battalions of officers with just a few men. About 1 percent of the equipment was manufactured in the past decade.

Question: What did Denver Botanic Gardens rush to ship?

Spike will be moved on Thursday back into a production greenhouse, where it will either pollinate (unlikely) or enter a dormant phase. Dr. Still said that even its failure to bloom would provide more opportunities to extend what experts know about the plant, which, given its relatively short history as a research specimen, is comparatively little. Think of these huge plants as the giant panda of the plant world: Researchers are trying to increase the genetic diversity of the fragile plants, but their erratic blooming schedule can make it difficult. Experts at gardens around the country have passed along knowledge and resources when possible. In the case of Spike, officials at the Denver Botanic Gardens rushed to ship frozen pollen to help Spike bloom, but they also offered practical advice. “One of the big things that we learned was how to deal with crowd control,” Mr. Pollak said.

Question: Who coached Bayern Munich?

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

Question: 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.

My ballpark concession would absolutely require a couple of good lagers, even if this style has been denatured by big brewers, who have used adjuncts to malted barley, like rice and corn, to create so banal a product it can only be enjoyed icy cold, bottle to forehead in the brutal heat. To the endlessly creative American craft brewer, plain old lager may not seem particularly exciting. Decades ago, with so many great styles of beer left moribund by industrial brewers, craft brewers had compelling reasons to concentrate elsewhere. But little by little, American craft brewers have now taken up the challenge.

Question: What network is still deciding on whether to renew Scream Queens?

Best Thing That Could Come of This ShowFox has yet to decide whether “Scream Queens” will be renewed — the social media following has been great, but the ratings have been soft. Throw your own opinion in the comment section, but I’ve seen enough; what was occasionally cute and witty once would be hard-pressed to be either a second time. I do, however, want to see a spinoff show, “The Radwells Plus Eight.” In the second hour Tuesday we saw the overprivileged Chad and the daffy Denise, who had become lovers, decide to break up. These two were the best thing about this show; give them eight kids and put them in a sitcom.

Question: What does Francis do when discussing market based things that replace people who work?

He is relentlessly negative, on the other hand, when describing institutions in which people compete for political power or economic gain. At one point he links self-interest with violence. He comes out against technological advances that will improve productivity by replacing human work. He specifically condemns market-based mechanisms to solve environmental problems, even though these cap-and-trade programs are up and running in places like California. Moral realists, including Catholic ones, should be able to worship and emulate a God of perfect love and still appreciate systems, like democracy and capitalism, that harness self-interest. But Francis doesn’t seem to have practical strategies for a fallen world. He neglects the obvious truth that the qualities that do harm can often, when carefully directed, do enormous good. Within marriage, lust can lead to childbearing. Within a regulated market, greed can lead to entrepreneurship and economic innovation. Within a constitution, the desire for fame can lead to political greatness. You would never know from the encyclical that we are living through the greatest reduction in poverty in human history. A raw and rugged capitalism in Asia has led, ironically, to a great expansion of the middle class and great gains in human dignity.

Question: Which photographer became star because of Rolling Stone?

The plan in the magazine’s 1970s heyday, said Joe Armstrong, its publisher and president during that period, “was to build Time-Life, do what Henry Luce did, but for a younger generation.” Rolling Stone was breaking new ground, and printing things others would not print, he said. “We were covering rock ’n’ roll music when your parents liked orchestra music,” he said. “We were against the war in Vietnam, and everybody over 30 was for it. We were covering the drug culture. Nobody else was doing it.” Tom Wolfe published his novel “The Bonfire of the Vanities” in installments in the magazine. The photographer Annie Leibovitz became a star there. Richard Avedon traveled the country to shoot dozens of portraits of the people he felt ran America, a collection now with the Metropolitan Museum of Art. And Mr. Thompson made his own style of gonzo journalism. Rolling Stone has gone through tumultuous periods before, said Robert Draper, the author of “Rolling Stone Magazine: The Uncensored History.” It has survived internal strife, often surrounding the mercurial Mr. Wenner, questions about its finances and the threat of MTV, which many thought would end it.

Question: What book was used to slight Ms. Slaughter but not use her name?

After all, as Ms. Sandberg pointed out in her book, without mentioning Ms. Slaughter, “the very concept … flies in the face of the basic laws of economics and common sense.” Toward the end of “Lean In,” Ms. Sandberg reviewed the social psychology literature around the tendency of women themselves in certain environments to perpetuate gender bias and recommended some ways to avoid falling into this trap. The institutional tendency to use minor disagreements among women as an excuse to do nothing, she argues, requires women to choose their battles carefully. “We should resolve our differences quickly, and when we disagree, stay focused on our shared goals. This is not a plea for less debate, but for more constructive debate,” Ms. Sandberg wrote. Based on Ms. Slaughter’s book, it would seem that persuading other powerful women to respond positively to Ms. Sandberg’s appeal is another piece of unfinished business.

Question: Who translated the book?

Proust For The People: Almost 100 years after his death, Marcel Proust has finally cracked the best-seller list. Sort of. The French artist Stéphane Heuet’s illustrated interpretation of “Swann’s Way,” the first volume of Proust’s sprawling semiautobiographical novel “In Search of Lost Time,” is at No. 5 in its seventh week on the graphic novel hardcover list. Heuet has been adapting the book since 1988, when the first installment was published in France — to violent dismay. Le Figaro called the project “blasphemous” and “catastrophic,” with the critic Hervé de Saint-Hilaire taking special exception to the depiction of the young Marcel (“a formless little boy with idiotic eyes’’). Heuet defended himself, telling The New York Times: “Proust has been kept in a ghetto of snobs as a sort of precious gold and diamond object. For me, any effort to democratize Proust is valid.” And, as it happens, lucrative. Despite the negative reviews, the first printing of 12,000 copies sold out in three weeks. Of course, comics play a surprisingly large and vital role in French publishing. According to Publishers Weekly, graphic novel sales in France have been put at about $458 million, and they make up about 12.5 percent of all books published, compared with about 3 percent in America. And critics should have no cause for concern; Heuet and Arthur Goldhammer, the book’s translator, envision it as a tantalizing introduction to “In Search of Lost Time” — not a substitute for the real thing. “Stéphane Heuet and I have tried to preserve the ‘flavor’ of Proust . . . his ‘fragrance’ — as un menu de dégustation, or tasting menu, tries to give a full sampling of the dishes in the repertoire of a great chef,” Goldhammer writes in the preface. “Those who find the taste to their liking will want to return often to savor fuller portions.”

Question: who was the news outlet refrenced ?

Trump actually launched his campaign on June 16 with a message of polarization, saying: “When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. … They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.” The Washington Post’s Fact Checker column gave him four Pinocchios, its highest rating for not telling the truth, noting: “Trump’s repeated statements about immigrants and crime underscore a common public perception that crime is correlated with immigration, especially illegal immigration. But that is a misperception; no solid data support it, and the data that do exist negate it.”

Question: What is the name of Turkey's Prime Minister?

“It was now or never,” he said. “So I decided to go before the window of opportunity closes.” Hungary decided to shut its border with Croatia after it said it was disappointed at the outcome of a meeting of European Union leaders to discuss the migrant crisis. That ended with the outline of an agreement for Turkey, designed to encourage more migrants to remain there, rather than traveling on to western Europe. The German chancellor, Angela Merkel, is expected to hold further talks on Sunday to try to reach a deal with Turkey’s leaders, Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu and President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

Question: What emotions are elicited in the subject of the passage?

Since the days of slavery, they argued, blacks had adopted an outward style of ingratiating deference that masked a seething anger. “As a sapling bent low stores energy for a violent backswing,” they wrote, “blacks bent double by oppression have stored energy which will be released in the form of rage — black rage, apocalyptic and final.” The book was unremittingly bleak by design. “This dismal tone has been deliberate,” the authors wrote in the final pages. “It has been an attempt to evoke a certain quality of depression and hopelessness in the reader and to stir these feelings. These are the most common feelings tasted by black people in America.”

Question: Who was appointed lead counsel in the Petrobras case?

“For Petrobras to say, ‘We’re the victims,’ when their executives were perpetrating this scheme suggests that they haven’t learned their lesson,” said Jeremy A. Lieberman of the Pomerantz law firm, which has been appointed lead counsel in the case. “This is not just an incident of a few rotten apples on an otherwise pristine tree.” For all of its malign effects, Lava Jato has underscored that Brazil has a robust and independent group of federal police officers, judges and prosecutors, a rarity in nations plagued by corruption. Last month, for instance, the police searched the home of Fernando Collor, a former president and current senator, leaving with a Ferrari, a Lamborghini and a Porsche. (Mr. Collor has not been charged and denies involvement in Lava Jato.) Mr. Dallagnol and another prosecutor flew to Washington a few months ago to visit officials in the Justice Department, hoping to interest the United States in lending a hand. He says that he and his team could, if unhindered, investigate Lava Jato for years.

Question: Who is the Vice Chancellor of Germany ?

But the images of migrants chanting “Germany, Germany” as they weave their way across the Continent toward their new promised land have moved many in a country that has for decades been trying to atone for the genocide it committed in World War II. In the words of Chancellor Angela Merkel, whose apparent mercilessness during the Greek bailout talks prompted mocked-up photographs of her dressed in Nazi uniform: “The world sees Germany as a country of hope and opportunity, and that was certainly not always the case.”

Question: What is the occupancy rate?

Q. Your next makeover is at 1156 Avenue of the Americas.  A. That’s a building that we’ve owned since 1999. I was looking at the building and I said, well, if this building was for sale now and one of the major brokers had it on the market it would come with a high-gloss book and it would show all of the possibilities a buyer could do with the building. So I thought there’s no reason we shouldn’t do it. We own it. We could do what a broker would say could be done. It’s about an 84,000-square-foot building, so it’s rather on the small side, and on that we’re spending $4 million. Q. What’s your occupancy rate portfoliowide?  A. We’re over 96 percent. We have a high renewal rate as well — in excess of 70 percent.

Question: What is going to happen on Tuesday?

VANCOUVER, British Columbia — As a young girl in Colorado, April Heinrichs stuffed copies of Reader’s Digest into her socks as shin guards and slept in her cleats. “Why not?” Heinrichs said. She became a fierce, pioneering player and has assumed as many vital roles as a coach and futurist as anyone in women’s soccer in the United States. Her current job, as technical director for the American women’s national teams, is to find the next Mia Hamm or Abby Wambach and keep the United States in its customary spot among the best teams in the world. The United States trails only Germany in the FIFA world rankings, but the Americans have not won a Women’s World Cup since 1999. And their chances in the current tournament seem uncertain as a final group match approaches, against Nigeria here Tuesday.

Answer: current tournament seem uncertain as a final group match approaches, against Nigeria here Tuesday.

Question: Which law firm does Martin Lipton work for?

Such a report may suggest that I.S.S. is biased in favor of the activist hedge funds, but this statistic may not be truly surprising because hedge funds tend to pick struggling targets. And every contest is unique. What is unusual about the recommendation is something I.S.S. acknowledged in its report: that DuPont is “not a broken company.” The significance of the I.S.S. decision was perhaps best put by Martin Lipton of the law firm Wachtell Lipton Rosen & Katz. In a memo to clients on the lessons in the DuPont fight, Mr. Lipton stated that I.S.S. and major shareholders would “be responsive to and support well-presented attacks on business strategy and operations” even if the company was run by “an outstanding C.E.O. and board of directors.”

Question: Why was David Sweat in prison?

Night after night for months, David Sweat slipped through a hole he had sawed at the back of his cell in the Clinton Correctional Facility in northern New York. He would plumb the catacomb-like tunnels beneath the prison, where he was serving a life sentence for murder, searching for an escape route, confident that the guards would have no idea he was gone because they were asleep. Then he would return to his empty bunk. His explorations began this past winter and continued through the spring. They took him underground almost every night for hours until he finally stumbled on what would become, through trial and error and countless hours of grueling work, his subterranean route out. Mr. Sweat felt free during his nightly journeys into the maze, as though he had already escaped the ugliness of his day-to-day prison life.

Question: What is the conflict for the character  in Tempest's "Bran New Ancients?"

A wunderkind rapper and spoken word performer equally influenced by Wu-Tang Clan and Joyce, Bukowski and Blake; an English poet whose musical sense of language bridges the worlds of rap and traditional lyric verse; a fan favorite at the Glastonbury music festival who became the youngest winner of the Ted Hughes poetry prize. Such dichotomies not only attest to the 29-year-old Kate Tempest’s gift for shattering — and transcending — convention and conventional genres, but they also underscore the tensions and contradictions that fuel her dynamic art. Tiresias, the blind seer in Greek mythology who lived as a man and a woman, is the presiding figure in her collection “Hold Your Own,” and the contemporary characters in her dazzling story-poem “Brand New Ancients” are also conflicted beings in search of a self. They are torn between confidence and self-loathing, between aching loneliness and the tumult of love, between ambition and a revulsion for the phony accouterments of fame. Ms. Tempest describes these ordinary people as gods, and their quarrels — so reminiscent of the squabbling among the Greek gods on Mount Olympus — are both petty and profound.

Question: Where did the Republican debate take place?

But now, in an election cycle where the Republican Party’s grass-roots wing is angry and looking for a presidential candidate who projects a visceral sense of their frustration, some of Jeb Bush’s supporters say he may need to learn the fine art of negative campaigning. The Republican debate on Tuesday in Las Vegas provides Mr. Bush with a highly anticipated platform to forcefully take on his rivals. After faltering in a previous debate exchange with Senator Marco Rubio, Mr. Bush — perhaps more than anyone else onstage — might be compelled to prove he has the strength and passion not just to lead the nation, but to hold his own in the aggressive Colosseum of modern politics. That could be tricky for a man whose family code is one of polite gentility and even bipartisanship, not angry yelling and boorishness.

Question: Who caused the Yankees game to go to extra innings?

But David Cone, another Yankees war horse, walked in the tying run in the eighth, and the game went to extra innings. In the top of the 11th, the Yankees scored on a single by Randy Velarde, and all they had to do was hold the lead. They didn’t. In a play that seemed to unfold in slow motion so that you could see the heartbreak coming long before it arrived, Edgar Martinez doubled into the left-field corner off Jack McDowell, scoring two runs, including Ken Griffey Jr. on an all-out sprint from first base.

Question: What country is this story set in?

⬥ “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: Who is named after one of the country's most magnetic hawker centers?

These are not the franchise-studded cul-de-sacs that fill American malls with hypertrophied cinnamon buns and microwaved despair.

Question: What was the purpose of these reforms?

In the wake of Thursday’s attack, Mrs. Clinton made sure to acknowledge that “gun ownership is part of the fabric of many American communities,” before urging broad policies to address gun violence. “We must come together for common sense gun violence prevention reforms that keep weapons out of the hands of criminals and the violently unstable, while respecting responsible gun owners,” she said in a statement that was unlikely to offer encouragement to proponents of stricter gun laws.
