Question: What is hitting the US market?

The sudden turn in the United States bond market seems to have little to do with American economic trends. The selling started last month in Europe, according to traders, and has since spilled into United States markets. “What’s really going on is an overseas market is hitting the U.S. market,” said Guy LeBas, chief fixed-income strategist at Janney Montgomery Scott in Philadelphia. Worried about the strength of the global economy, nervous investors crowded into government bond markets in Germany and the United States earlier this year, pushing prices up and rates down. In the middle of April, the 10-year United States Treasury yield sank as low as 1.86 percent, according to FactSet data. The 10-year German bund paid much less, yielding as little as 0.07 percent.

Question: Richard Gasquet completed his victory how quickly?

MASON, Ohio —  Days after making a remark to an opponent in Montreal that was picked up by on-court microphones and resulted in a $10,000 fine, Nick Kyrgios received a mixed reaction upon his arrival at his opening-round match at the Western & Southern Open. The response of the large crowd grew warmer during the match, but that was short-lived — not because Kyrgios again set off controversy but because his opponent Tuesday, 12th-seeded Richard Gasquet, completed a 6-2, 6-1 victory in just 56 minutes.

Answer: in just 56 minutes

Question: Who is the Senator of Texas?

WASHINGTON —  Emerging from an all-night session that was more exhausting than dramatic, Senate Republicans on Friday squeaked through a budget blueprint that would repeal the Affordable Care Act, fundamentally remake federal health care for the poor and elderly, and push the federal deficit toward zero over the next decade. The 52-to-46 vote came at 3:28 a.m. after the Senate considered hundreds of amendments and voted on dozens — many of them politically freighted, some of them contradictory, but none of them binding. No Democrats voted for the budget. Among Republicans, only Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky, who is likely to seek the White House, and Senator Ted Cruz of Texas, who has announced his intention to do so, voted no. Senator Michael B. Enzi of Wyoming, the chairman of the Budget Committee, hailed a plan that he said would “protect the nation’s most vulnerable citizens, strengthen national defense and bring robust economic growth.”

Answer: Ted Cruz

Question: What was reported wrong about the airbags?

An article on Wednesday about research suggesting that chimpanzees have the cognitive ability to cook misstated, at one point, the surname of the Harvard anthropologist who hypothesized that cooking has driven changes in human evolution. As the article correctly noted elsewhere, he is Richard Wrangham, not Wrangell. BUSINESS DAY An article on Tuesday about a decision by the airbag manufacturer Takata to continue using a chemical compound deemed dangerous by experts misstated the point at which the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration began receiving complaints about rupturing Takata airbags. It was in 2001, not “almost 15 years ago.” The error was repeated in articles on Sept. 15, 2014, and on May 20, which referred to the complaints as having started in 2000, rather than 2001. • An article on May 23 about the environmental threat posed by plastic microbeads used as exfoliating agents in personal care products misstated the source of PHA, a naturally occurring plastic that one company is developing as a biodegradable substitute.

Question: what year was it when Meb Keflezigh achieved victory?

BOSTON —  The American men ended their slump in the Boston Marathon when Meb Keflezighi won in 2014, a cathartic victory that enabled “The Star-Spangled Banner” to play over Boylston Street one year after bombs had exploded there. This year, the United States women are hoping to end a drought that has lasted 30 years. “The marathon gods blessed Meb with that run; it was electric,” said Shalane Flanagan, a native of Marblehead, Mass., who grew up following the race as the daughter of two marathoners. Flanagan finished fourth in 2013 and seventh last year in 2 hours 22 minutes 2 seconds — the career best for an American woman on the Boston course. “Last year was extremely special, just being an American,” she said. “It’s a run I’ll never, ever forget.” The 119th edition of the Boston Marathon is scheduled to leave Hopkinton, Mass., on Monday morning, and this year’s field gives the United States two chances for its first women’s victory since Lisa Weidenbach won in 1985. Joining Flanagan is Desiree Linden, who finished second in Boston in 2011.

Question: Who is James following after in order to lead his team to victory?

For that reason, Brown’s task in 1964 seems a little easier than the one James faces now. James’s group, defying the odds, turned back Golden State in Games 2 and 3 to give Cleveland a two-games-to-one series lead, when few people were giving them much of a chance to actually take four games against the Warriors and win the N.B.A. title. Still, to have any shot, James, who had 40 points, 12 rebounds and 8 assists in the Cavaliers’ 96-91 win Tuesday night, will do well to keep to Brown’s blueprint.

Question: Which team was not successful in holding the lead?

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 team does Shane Vereen play for?

That drew a second unnecessary-roughness penalty on Beckham. Two plays later, Giants running back Shane Vereen ran up the middle for 19 yards. Norman and Beckham clashed briefly at the start of the play until Norman drifted over to the area of the field where Vereen was being tackled. Beckham, who had run upfield, suddenly turned and sprinted back toward the scrum. That is when he lowered his head for the helmet-to-helmet collision, which also was whistled for unnecessary roughness. Two plays after that scuffle, Norman was penalized for unnecessary roughness.

Question: What color is the blazer?

Both times I visited the mall, I needed respite badly. Once, I sat on the steps in the main atrium and tried to restore steady breathing; it felt as if I had just climbed a mountain and was being choked by thin air. Another time, I left and walked a few blocks to Century 21, which with its air of rank desperation felt more apt for the neighborhood. Unlike Brookfield Place, where your happiness was heavily mediated, Century 21 required the usual pluck — maybe the gray cowhide crew-neck Valentino top ($866, on sale from $4,625) would fit, but probably not; same for the white linen-ish Lanvin peak lapel blazer ($799, on sale from $3,380).

Question: Who is Marcelo Aguirre?

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 the paleontologist at George Washington University?

Paleontologists have discovered a distant relative of Triceratops in western China that lived 160 million years ago. Named Hualianceratops wucaiwanensis, the plant-eater stood on its hind legs and was about the size of a spaniel. Hualianceratops and another dinosaur from the region, named Yinlong downsi, are the two oldest known ceratopsians, so-called horned dinosaurs, although neither the Hualianceratops nor Yinlong had horns. There were dozens of species of ceratopsians, but Triceratops, which lived in North America about 65 million years ago, is the best known. “These small dinosaurs were related to Triceratops, but very distantly,” said Catherine A. Forster, a paleontologist at George Washington University and one of the team who discovered Hualianceratops. She and her colleagues recovered a partial skull and hind leg, and described their findings in the journal PLOS One.

Question: How many runs did Harvey drive in with a single during the fourth inning?

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: 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: What sort of demons exist in Buddhism?

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.

Answer: guardian ogres with faces like pugs with tusks and nymphs with half-bird, half human bodies

Technically, they’re demons, but they’re also fantastical fun, as are many of Buddhism’s supporting players, with their folk-art additives. <hl> 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. <hl> 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: do players favor lobbying or public campaings?

In the end, it was close. The merger was backed by 69.53 percent of the shareholders who voted on Friday, narrowly above the amount needed. Investor activism like the Samsung fight is relatively uncommon in Asia. Publicly traded companies often remain under the control of close-knit family groups or state-backed shareholders, and legal protections for minority investors can be patchy. In many cases, activism in Asia plays out over a longer horizon, with players favoring persistent behind-the scenes lobbying over public campaigns.

Question: What has had a great impact on the Utah Jazz so far this season?

Ricky Rubio tied a career high with 17 assists for the Timberwolves, who held off a late charge from the Jazz that cut a 15-point deficit to 6 even as Utah was playing without Derrick Favors. Trey Burke scored all 23 of his points in the second half for Utah. The Jazz have been gutted by injuries to much of their foundation, including Rudy Gobert, Dante Exum and Alec Burks. Relying on replacements for them and for Favors has left the team playing sloppy basketball of late. SPURS 112, SUNS 79 LaMarcus Aldridge had 21 points and 12 rebounds, and San Antonio easily won its 19th straight home game to start the season. The Spurs also extended their franchise-record home winning streak to 28 straight games dating to last season.

Question: Where did the beating take place?

Night had fallen at the Clinton Correctional Facility in far northern New York when the prison guards came for Patrick Alexander. They handcuffed him and took him into a broom closet for questioning. Then, Mr. Alexander said in an interview last week, the beatings began. As the three guards, who wore no name badges, punched him and slammed his head against the wall, he said they shouted questions: “Where are they going? What did you hear? How much are they paying you to keep your mouth shut?” One of the guards put a plastic bag over his head, Mr. Alexander said, and threatened to waterboard him.

Question: Who made the finals with a greater rate than James?

Counting all of the rounds, James’s rate is 37.8 so far in the playoffs. Going back to the 1970s, when the statistic becomes available, one player who made the finals had a greater rate: In 1993, when he won the third of his first triumvirate of titles, Michael Jordan rated at 38.0, according to basketball-reference.com. With Irving out for the rest of the playoffs, James’s rate may well climb past Jordan’s before the series concludes. And Jordan’s rate for the 1993 finals alone, 38.9, lags behind James’s 44.0.

Question: What should journalist make a high priority?

The future is in flux. What is certain is that citizens value investigative work. “People don’t know of corruption unless it’s disclosed to them,” said Martin Baron, the Globe’s editor during the church investigation, now editor of The Washington Post. When they see the media bringing wrongdoing to light, he said, they often express appreciation: “If it weren’t for you, nobody would do this work.” That enduring appetite for investigative journalism may hold the key. And so, for the good of the democracy (and their own survival) news organizations, whether start-up or legacy, must make it a high priority to keep digging — with the public’s interest at heart.

Question: How old is Kate Tempest?

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: What is the name of the recent Brooklyn Law School graduate?

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: Which two growing ethnic groups are important in winning presidential elections?

In less than 15 minutes, Mr. Bush managed to step on his message, to give Mr. Trump a boost and to offend Asian-Americans, a growing population that is every bit as important as Latinos in winning presidential elections. And he failed to give Latino voters any persuasive evidence that he had anything better to offer them than his opponents in a revoltingly xenophobic Republican campaign. It may be time to offer this forlorn candidate some free advice. Although if he really is the smarter Bush, he knows these things already:

Question: What happens after night at Chomp Chomp?

How much of Chomp Chomp’s food would attract long lines in Singapore? I’m not sure. For specialists working in hawker centers, mastery becomes second nature through repetition. With around two dozen dishes on the menu, Mr. Wong’s kitchen may not get enough practice to turn out a heart-stopping version of any one of them. Flavors can go slightly out of focus from night to night. Lamb rendang was pasty, dry and a bit muffled at one meal. The next time, it was juicier and so richly curried I could almost believe it was cooked in the “million spices” advertised on the menu.

Question: What year did Tiant win two games against Cincinnati Reds in the World Series?

“I told him Boston is a good place to play,” Tiant said. “I lived there for 43 years. I live in Maine now, but I lived in Boston for years, and for me, it is my second country. People were great to me, and they are still great to me. They show me respect, admiration and love. They don’t have that anywhere else I’ve been, just in Boston.” Tiant was a larger-than-life figure in Boston: a portly, cigar-smoking character whose starts were big events. He was also known as an exceptional clutch performer. In the memorable 1975 World Series, Tiant won two games against the Cincinnati Reds, including a shutout in Game 1. He also won the final regularly scheduled game of the 1978 season with a two-hit shutout against the Blue Jays that forced the famous one-game playoff with the Yankees. But Tiant’s status as Boston sports royalty was solidified as far back as 1972, when he went 15-6 with a 1.91 E.R.A., the best in baseball that season. Tiant was unable to return to Cuba for 46 years. After leaving Cuba, he did not see his father for 14 years until Luis Tiant Sr. was allowed to come to Boston to watch the 1975 World Series. “It’s sad,” Tiant said. “It was 46 years before I go back to my country, and a lot of my friends and people I played with and went to school with, they died. It’s not a comfortable situation. I didn’t see my father for 14 years. I thought I would never see him again.” Moncada grew teary-eyed when he spoke of his own family. He said that until he left Cuba nine months ago, he had not gone more than a week without seeing his family. But the future might not be as difficult for him as the past was for Tiant. The governments of Cuba and the United States have initiated a process that could lead to a normalization of relations. If that is achieved, it may not be as difficult for the current group of Cuban players to travel home and then return to the United States to play.

Question: How does this person start a conversation?

I typically just start off asking a little bit about how they spent their weekend or something that helps me understand them as a person. From a professional standpoint, I’m looking for people who are curious but who also have a point of view, and so I’ll often ask questions to see if people will give me a specific point of view on an issue, usually within our field. It’s interesting how some people don’t want to do that. They want to kind of hedge their bets. They’re afraid to be wrong, and I don’t want people to be afraid to be wrong. I’m looking for people who are confident enough yet also open enough to have a point of view, but also open to talking about it and maybe changing their mind. I want to see someone who’s constantly thinking and asking questions and wanting to learn more.

Answer: I typically just start off asking a little bit about how they spent their weekend or something that helps me understand them as a person.

Question: What are some other suggestions by the experts?

Yet, as agricultural interests prepare a major push to get water projects built, doubts are growing about whether spending huge sums to pour high walls of concrete are the best way to solve California’s water problems. Many independent experts, and almost all environmental groups, argue that dams would supply relatively little water for the money. They contend that Californians need to move aggressively to more modern methods of water management, reducing waste to a minimum and learning to live within the limits imposed by an arid environment.

Answer: reducing waste to a minimum

Question: What do officials agree on about the subsidies?

The problem, officials have concluded, is that the subsidies were much too small. In 2011, HUD started the Dallas experiment as a part of a settlement with housing activists. It has since added five smaller regions to the program. In Dallas, the maximum subsidy for a three-bedroom apartment is now just $850 in the cheapest ZIP codes, but as much as $1,840 in the most expensive ZIP codes. In 33 of the 50 largest metropolitan areas, the subsidy for the wealthiest ZIP code would be more than twice as high as the subsidy in the poorest ZIP code. In New York, San Diego and Washington, it would be more than three times as high.

Question: How many hold outs were there to the decision of financial responsibility?

Yes, O.K., sorry, but not really. Six of the seven jurors wanted Thomas held financially responsible. He can thank a lone holdout for the fact that the damage was only to his reputation, and not to his bank account.

Question: What was the rejected senate vote count?

Two weeks after President Ronald Reagan nominated Judge Bork to the Supreme Court in 1987, according to Ethan Bronner’s book “Battle for Justice: How the Bork Nomination Shook America” (1989), Mr. Cohen and Mr. Pertschuk, at the Advocacy Institute, issued a game plan to appeal to pivotal Senate centrists on how to cast Judge Bork as a “judicial extremist” and an “ideological activist” whom genuine conservatives who cared about personal rights and feared government intrusion could comfortably oppose. Judge Bork was rejected by a Senate vote of 58-42. “I’m proud that I helped make some constructive changes happen and helped block harmful ones from happening,” Mr. Cohen said in the Pacific Standard interview. “Obviously, you compromise all the time, but I don’t think I’ve ever had to do anything I was ashamed of. And I’ve enjoyed it all — immensely. It’s what John Adams called ‘the public happiness.’ ”

Question: How many Keflexghi's Marathons in New York did he finish under the current masters record?

“I’m here to compete,” Keflezighi said. “Goal No. 1 is to try to win” or get a high placement. Barring that, his finishing time could be a kind of golden parachute, allowing a gentle, somewhat satisfactory landing. Seven of his nine marathons in New York have finished under the current masters record. What is his secret to staying competitive for so long? There are many theories. Keflezighi has kept the same coach, Bob Larsen, since his college days at U.C.L.A. He remains committed to the mundane routines of stretching and strength work. Training for so many years at altitude in Mammoth Lakes, Calif., much of it on soft surfaces, has perhaps prolonged Keflezighi’s career, Larsen said, forcing him to restrict the intensity of his training while still providing him the cardiovascular benefits.

Question: What position does Sam Bradford play?

Eagles (1-2) at Redskins (1-2) 1 p.m. Line: Eagles by 3 Coach Chip Kelly may have amazing offensive schemes, but thus far his players haven’t been able to execute them. Sam Bradford has looked like a bad fit at quarterback and has spent most of the season throwing his running backs short passes that get nowhere. The team has had only two plays of 25 yards or more, and the humdrum execution has been reflected on the scoreboard, with the Eagles averaging 19.3 points a game, tied for 21st in the N.F.L. Relying on the other team to trot out an even worse offense does not seem like a great strategy, but it should work this week for Philadelphia.

Question: What kinds of targets do hedge funds usually choose?

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: Who needs new shoes?

At the same time, Mr. Hamid points out, he’s made “an attempt at optimism,” however forced and possibly misguided — so fervent is his belief that “Pakistan is a test bed for pluralism on a globalizing planet that desperately needs more pluralism.” Although he writes that Pakistanis have often been their “own worst enemies,” he says that he’s never believed the role the country frequently “plays as a villain on news shows”: “The Pakistan I knew was the out-of-character Pakistan, Pakistan without its makeup and plastic fangs, a working actor with worn-out shoes, a close family and a hearty laugh.” Despite its inclusion on lists of failing states, he goes on, Pakistan is “not a basket case,” arguing in one essay that “it has well-established political parties, noisy private media, and an independent-minded supreme court.”

Question: What was the opening movement called?

I could devote a whole report to the wrenching, blazing and vehement account of Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 10 in E minor that Mr. Gilbert conducted after intermission. The composer completed this hourlong symphony months after the death of Stalin. How explicitly it was intended as bitter commentary on Stalinist repression is a topic of debate. Whatever one’s take, Mr. Gilbert led a commanding performance, especially the spacious gravity he summoned during the expansive opening movement and the intensity bordering on sheer terror of the short Allegro.

Question: What was Cookie celebrating?

Cookie’s celebration of her son’s victory ends abruptly when Lucious’s sneer informs the after-party that her sister Candice is outside the club. Through her (according to Cookie) practiced hysteria about their third sister’s alleged drug bender, we learn from Candice that Cookie’s real name is Loretha. Cookie hadn’t been born a Lyon — a flashback intimates that neither had Lucious, likely taking the name as an child abandoned on the street — and up until now, her lineage outside of Lucious hadn’t been much referenced, leaving the show’s relatively clueless audience hungry to know how Cookie came to be.

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: What did the municipal leaders name the new city organizations?

Aficionados of lowbrow aesthetics are also heading to Glòries, thanks to the arresting Encants Barcelona, the new home for the area’s historic flea market — a ramped space, open on the sides, with slender columns supporting an angular reflective metal canopy. Since the market moved here in 2013, it’s been drawing 120,000 antiques- and junk-seekers a week to early morning auctions and the stalls that open directly after the last lot has sold. Ironically, the building housing the Barcelona Design Museum — a squat, zinc-clad structure with front and rear cantilevers — hasn’t exactly been celebrated for its exterior form. Some have taken to calling it “the Stapler.” The museum, which unites collections of Catalan decorative arts, graphics, ceramics, textiles and fashion that previously had been scattered throughout the city, was originally to be the building’s sole occupant. But in an effort to make use of its vast interior spaces — and lure people to what is still considered an off-the-beaten-path area — municipal leaders also moved the city’s major design organizations here and named the whole enterprise Design Hub Barcelona, or DHUB, hoping it truly would become a hotbed of design activity. Today, while design professionals show up for events in the building, museum-goers make their way through exhibits that sprawl on four floors, displaying everything from corsets to cruets. The museum, which charges a 5-euro ($5.35) general admission fee, has already drawn about 204,000 visitors. While its holdings may never achieve the popularity of the offerings at the flea market next door, the institution is already helping attract traffic — foot traffic — to the Glòries area. “In the future Glòries will be a place not for cars, but for people,” said Isabel Roig, executive director of Barcelona Design Center, a trade group and one of DHUB’s new tenants.
