Question: What did Trice tell his teammate afterwards?

“I’ve always felt like that was part of my job as the point guard,” he said. “And truthfully, in my head, I am trying to stay calm and be sure I’m thinking straight.” Trice’s measured approach to the game was evident at least three times in the regional final. Near the end of regulation, after his teammate Marvin Clark Jr. missed two free throws, shots that might have clinched the victory for Michigan State, Trice went to Clark at the next whistle — with the game still very much in doubt. “I told him that those misses weren’t going to lose us the game,” Trice said. “I told him he was going to get another big rebound or another chance to help us win. We needed him now so we could win.”

Answer: “I told him that those misses weren’t going to lose us the game,”

Question: How much did it cost to train the Ukrainian soldier?

Capt. Andrii Syurkalo, a Ukrainian officer, said it was commendable that the trainers were willing to use the Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse scandal as an element in a class on the Geneva Conventions. American officers described the course work as equivalent to the latter months of basic training in the United States. The courses will train 705 Ukrainian soldiers at a cost of $19 million over six months. The Ukrainian National Guard is rotating from the front what units it can spare for the training. American instructors intend to recommend top performers to serve as trainers within other Ukrainian units, and in this way spread the instruction more broadly.

Question: How old is Upi Hariwati?

For some women who choose to join the salesteam, the company has provided a way out of poverty — about half the population lives on less than $2 a day — and prescribed social roles. Although women are increasingly joining the work force, the Indonesian government and religious groups have for decades pushed traditional values in which the primary roles of women are as wives and mothers. The country’s 1974 Marriage Law states that the husband is the head of the family and the wife is the caretaker. As it has done in other emerging markets, Tupperware encouraged women to move past any insecurities about taking on a new role. The company has a campaign called “Chain of Confidence,” in which it posts video interviews of saleswomen talking about how their lives have changed for the better. The company also has an inspirational campaign for Indonesia, “Tupperware She Can,” that also posts aspirational videos. “Everyone talks about how the dynamism of Asia is the emerging middle class, and the emerging middle class is driven by women who previously didn’t have the opportunity,” said Rick Goings, global chairman and chief executive of Tupperware Brands Corporation. “I’m not saying men didn’t work hard, but there’s a new opportunity for women in Asia.” Upi Hariwati is one of the Indonesian women who has seized the opportunity. Four years ago, the 39-year-old wife and mother of a young son began looking for solutions after growing tired of her family’s living paycheck to paycheck from her husband’s job.

Question: What gender have all secretary general's been?

The United Nations has had eight secretaries general. All have been men. Each has been selected through back-room dealing dominated by the five world powers that hold permanent seats on the Security Council. It’s time to change that. The appointment of the civil servant who serves as the next head of the United Nations should be more transparent. It would be powerfully symbolic to appoint a woman to the helm of an organization created 70 years ago to tackle the world’s most pressing problems through diplomacy and global consensus. Encouragingly, both objectives are being championed this year with unprecedented vigor within the United Nations as the current secretary general, Ban Ki-moon, moves toward the end of his second five-year term on Dec. 31, 2016.

Question: was trumps campaign in july?

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 type of beverages are for sell in the front of the salon?

To get the new Havana look, young men visit special barbershops around the city. The undisputed mecca of these salons is Donde Dorian. Camouflaged on a residential street opposite a wall with obedient graffiti extolling the local Committee for the Defense of the Revolution, the salon’s drab facade gives way to a bright front room selling Hollywood cigarettes, Cristal beer and espresso from a vintage machine. Above the polished bar is an LG flat-screen TV playing the ubiquitous reggaeton videos of poolside bacchanals. Around 11 p.m. on a recent evening, a line of young men waited in the back room for their turn in the seat of Dorian Carbonell Fernandéz, 31, who was dressed in jeans and a T-shirt and sculpting the eyebrows of Robert Richard Esteves with a straight edge razor. Mr. Fernandéz looked in a mirror, lined with boxes of Bulgari and Fendi colognes, and reached over the fence of Mr. Esteves’s hair to pluck up wilted locks within. He then blew out the hair up with a blow-dryer. Mr. Fernandéz’s hair blower always points up.

Question: Where is Hicklin from?

Hicklin plans to man the store himself on weekends, offering up mince pies and cups of tea (including a rooibos blend called “Little Dickens” from the Brooklyn-based purveyor Bellocq, as well as Yorkshire Gold from his native England). He admitted that the project has required him to play “literary investigator,” doggedly tracking down a few quirky or elusive volumes. “Raymond Pettibon, for example, his list is crazy,” Hicklin noted with admiration. “Like, seventeenth-century treatises on urn burial. Where else would you find this?” The artist Ryan McGinley, for his part, included a beautiful 1960 illustrated children’s book called “About Caves,” and the director John Waters named out-of-print treasures such as Philip Hoare’s “Serious Pleasures: The Life of Stephen Tennant.”

Question: What country was this museum located in?

Religious images live switched-on, switched-off lives. I remember walking through the National Museum in Kyoto, Japan, some years back, taking in its rows of Buddhist sculpture, and being stopped by one piece, not because it was especially beautiful — it wasn’t — but because a vase with a single fresh flower had been placed in front of it, like an offering in a temple. I stayed with the image because someone — a guard? a visitor? — was telling me, in terms I don’t often think of in museums, that it was important, in a personal, spiritual way.

Question: In what state was the only law that was affected located?

Monday’s development, which set no precedent, did not affect the validity of any law aside from North Carolina’s. The health care providers who challenged the North Carolina law urged the justices to turn down the state’s appeal. “The state requires physicians to recite the state’s message even when the patient physically avoids seeing or hearing it,” their brief said. “That is farce, not informed consent, and it demonstrates beyond any doubt that the requirement is an impermissible attempt to use physicians to spread the state’s ideological message.” Abortion rights groups welcomed the Supreme Court’s action. “This misguided law would have inserted politics and bad medicine into every exam room in North Carolina,” Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America, said in a statement.

Question: Who managed Mr. Zaro's bakery building?

Mr. Zaro said he was told by the management company, Olshan Properties, that a Boston Market would replace the bakery. Olshan did not reply to telephone and email messages seeking comment. Mr. Livan ate a toasted, buttered dinner roll on Sunday as he waited for his friends to arrive. He had his opinions about losing a place he loves. “They’re driving out all the middle-income businesses” from Grant Circle, he said, “and they’re going to bring us another greasy spoon or a fast-food restaurant. We don’t need another one of those.” Other customers who stopped in Zaro’s to grab a loaf of challah bread or a cheese Danish voiced similar concerns about changes in Parkchester.

Question: Who wrote the poem "wind"?

Nate Wooley’s new work “For Kenneth Gaburo” is a setting of a sentence by Mr. Gaburo (1926-93), a searching composer, conductor, pianist and language theorist. But its presentation of the words is extreme, to say the least. Abstractions of text in music aren’t new. Listening to the premiere of “For Kenneth Gaburo” on Monday evening at the Wild Project in the East Village, I thought of Morton Feldman’s glacial “Three Voices” (1982), in which long passages repeat and deconstruct, to the point of wordlessness, the opening of Frank O’Hara’s poem “wind”: “Who’d have thought/that snow falls.”

Question: Which motorway is near the house?

“We moved here 12 years ago when there was another house on the site because we wanted to live beside the lake, in a home with its own mooring and fishing rights,” Mr. Hague said. “The location also appealed to us because it was so rare — it is extremely unusual to find a place like this, just half an hour from London and within easy reach of the M25 motorway.” “Our aim at the time was to extend and refurbish the original house, but as we looked into it we realized it would be better to completely rebuild,” he continued. “That way we would end up with a home that was exactly what we wanted: something with a much more contemporary flavor.” The 4,900-square-foot property, which is on the market for 2 million pounds, or $3.1 million, was six years in the planning before construction began in 2009. It took just nine months for the old house to be demolished and the first and second stories of the new building to be completed, then a further three or four months for the basement level and the interiors to be finished. “We spent approximately £1 million on the build, with the builders beating the budget and completing on time,” Mrs. Hague said.

Question: Other than Utah, how many states where affected?

Intuit said the suspension, which it lifted Friday, didn’t affect federal returns. Intuit said that its systems weren’t breached, but that information used to file the fraudulent returns was stolen or obtained elsewhere. It’s unclear just how many bogus state returns were actually processed. The Utah State Tax Commission said on Thursday that it had identified 28 fraudulent returns and flagged about 8,000 as potentially fraudulent; it said 18 other states were also affected. The Minnesota Department of Revenue stopped accepting electronic filings from TurboTax on Thursday and resumed accepting them Saturday afternoon, after TurboTax put new security measures in place.

Question: When was Fun Home released?

Diverse storytelling benefits all readers, gay or straight, Mr. Griepp of ICv2 said. “A good story is enjoyable to everybody,” he said, pointing to the steady sales for Alison Bechdel’s graphic memoir “Fun Home” as an example. The book, about a lesbian cartoonist and her closeted gay father, has been a best seller since its release in 2007, he said. Adapted for the stage, “Fun Home” won five Tony Awards in June, including one for best musical. Jon Goldwater felt the need to modernize Archie Comics when he came aboard as publisher. “It was crystal clear that Archie was not diverse,” he said, so he introduced Kevin Keller, a gay character, in 2010, eventually giving Kevin his own series. “It was a cultural decision and business decision,” Mr. Goldwater said. “They go hand in hand.”

Question: What does the Fed believe jobs numbers does not demonstrate enough of?

The thing about the new jobs numbers is that, solid though they may be, they are solid in exactly the same way that most jobs numbers have been solid for the last couple of years. They don’t show the kind of progress on some key weaknesses in the economy that the Fed might like to see if it’s going to move faster, rather than slower, in the path of rate increases. Consider one of the great weaknesses of the economy the last few years: the millions of people who left the labor force entirely during the last recession and have not returned, many of them of prime working age. The new numbers don’t offer much sense of progress. The ratio of the population working was unchanged at 59.3 percent, which is only a tenth of a percentage point higher than it was a year earlier. And average hourly earnings rose 0.2 percent, which was what forecasters expected but also doesn’t suggest that wage inflation is starting to break out. That number is up 2.3 percent over the last year, which is hardly the stuff that would fuel fears of excessive inflation.

Question: Who did Mr. Disisto file a lawsuit against?

Mr. Disisto has sued the Police Department and the city in federal court in Manhattan, charging he was the victim of a false arrest and malicious prosecution. “The officers attacked him and this is borne out entirely by the video evidence from the bar,” said David B. Rankin, a lawyer representing Mr. Disisto. “But for this video, Mr. Disisto likely would have been prosecuted.” The lawsuit also accuses the Police Department of having a “custom and practice” of making retaliatory arrests against people who photograph or videotape police activity. In legal papers, the city has denied that the Police Department has a policy or practice of retaliation for videotaping, said Nick Paolucci, a spokesman for the city’s Law Department.

Question: When did Donatella Versace last see Fairchild?

“We think we are all eternal,” she added sadly. “When I heard that he passed away, I really regret that I lost contact with him, not going to New York frequently. I have a very, very good memory of him.” Those who had encountered him more recently found him unchanged. “About two years ago, I saw him at the Ritz,” Donatella Versace, Mr. Versace’s younger sister and since his death the steward of his label, said in a note. “He waved at me and invited me to join him for tea.

Question: How much money did Mr. Nader initially hope to raise within a year or two?

In the misguided popular lore, the display says, the woman was driving when the coffee spilled (she was not), she was not badly injured (she was, with third-degree burns that put her in the hospital for eight days and caused permanent scarring), she was out to fleece McDonald’s (the company rejected her initial request for just $20,000 to cover medical expenses) and she received millions (she received less than $500,000). The museum is in a former bank in this struggling town, dotted with abandoned factories but on the path of weekend visitors to more prosperous areas. Mr. Nader knows that a museum in Washington would have more influence but said he had a hard enough time raising close to $3 million for this location. When he first described his vision for the museum, in 1998, he had hoped to raise $5 million within a year or two.

Question: When will Mr. Fox leave the government?

Instead, the statement said that Mr. Fox would “make his anticipated transition back to the private sector by the end of the month.” Mr. Christie said that Joseph Bertoni, the department’s deputy commissioner, would take over as acting commissioner. In a statement, Mr. Fox suggested the move was related to his inability to secure funding for the state’s transportation fund. He said that serving as transportation commissioner twice had been “the best job I have ever had.” He did not mention the federal investigation.

Question: Where did Andrew Papachristos was born?

“People see ‘gang member,’ and the words ‘psycho killer’ instantly pop in their head. But that isn’t the case,” Andrew Papachristos, a Chicago native and an associate professor of sociology at Yale, says. A majority of residents who claim sets in Chicago are more like Trey, my close friend of 17 years and a member of the 81st Street Black P. Stones in Auburn Gresham. Trey has no violent criminal record and works full time as a security guard. In areas like Gresham, a lot of young men don’t have the luxury of opting out of affiliation with the local set; banding together in brotherhoods can be a survival strategy in neighborhoods where personal reputation is capital and walking the streets alone makes it more likely that you’ll be seen as weak.

Question: How large is the parish's congregation?

Paul Cerni, the parish secretary, said that the shifts in the congregation’s demographics have vaguely mirrored those in the broader community, with a growing number of immigrants from predominantly Catholic countries of Latin America replacing those of Western European descent. The parish, established in 1910, has a congregation that now numbers about 1,500 people, he said, with about a quarter foreign-born. “We should pray the baby gets a proper home,” said Father Heanue, who arrived at the parish in February and is in charge of its day-to-day administration. Should the baby eventually be put up for adoption, he said, he had one wish. “I would like to see the child stay in this community,” he said.

Question: Who was the students at Cardiff try to keep from speaking at the University?

LONDON —  Students at Cardiff University have begun an online petition trying to bar Germaine Greer, the Australian feminist author, from speaking there next month because of her views on transgender women. Ms. Greer’s views are well known, but the campaign to bar her from giving a lecture has raised the issue of academic censorship, and the university swiftly rejected the petition in the name of free speech. Ms. Greer, 76, who is best known for her best seller, “The Female Eunuch,” has prompted outrage and protests in the past because of her comments. In a column in 2009 she wrote that transgender women seem like ghastly parodies and that a transgender woman was essentially “a man’s delusion that he is female.” According to Varsity, Cambridge University’s student newspaper, she suggested in January that transgender women do not know what it is like to have a vagina.

Question: What must happen first prior to further investigation of the mass graves?

DOHUK, Iraq — Kurdish officials are investigating reports that a mass grave has been found near the town of Sinjar that holds the remains of more than 70 Yazidis, including older women, a Kurdish security official said Saturday. Kurdish and Yazidi fighters retook the town of Sinjar on Friday from the Islamic State, which had controlled it since August 2014. On Saturday, local officials told news agencies that Islamic State members had executed older Yazidi women, ages 40 to about 80, in and around the town, whom they did not want to keep as sex slaves. The Kurdish security official said that the allegations appeared plausible and that mass graves had been found in other areas that had been captured from the Islamic State. A Kurdish government team plans to excavate the site to try to confirm the suspicions. “For now, it seems credible,” said a Kurdish official who asked not to be named to discuss internal reports. However, he said, further investigation must wait for excavation of the site.

Question: Who is Mark Tatum?

Mills, who was seated alongside representatives of 13 other teams, watched as Mark Tatum, the league’s deputy commissioner, opened 14 envelopes, one by one, each containing a team logo. The Knicks, who went 17-65, the second-worst record in the league, had a 19.9 percent chance of winning the lottery and a 55.8 percent chance of being among the top three. But they also had a 31.9 percent chance of dipping to No. 4. Fran Fraschilla, an analyst for ESPN, said it was not the worst place to be, given the quality at the top of the draft. “All of these players, in their own way, have skills that are going to translate well to the N.B.A.,” Fraschilla said in a telephone interview.

Question: Who is associated with the Bridal Bar?

“People don’t want to miss that part of the evening, and thus they’re learning to pace themselves,” said Maureen Farley, director of hospitality at the Plaza hotel in New York, which hosts approximately 60 weddings a year. Eighty percent of those events have after-parties, she said. “These parties are marathons, not sprints,” Ms. Farley said. “And if they consume too much at the wedding, they won’t make it to the next leg, which is where the D.J. and dancing take place.” The after-parties often start at 1:30 a.m. and can run til 4 a.m. What is being served is also helping to control the impulse to overindulge. A growing foodie culture in the millennial generation is putting emphasis on the quality of the meal, craft cocktails and other specialties, said Ms. Walton of the Bridal Bar.

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: How much does a house have to cost for it to qualify for a mansion tax?

Currently, the state has a “mansion tax” of 1 percent on the sales of homes over $1 million. The de Blasio administration is calling for an additional 1 percent tax on the sale of homes in New York City over $1.75 million, which would rise to 1.5 percent tax on sales over $5 million. State Senator Liz Krueger, a Democrat from Manhattan, said there may be a “window of opportunity” in Albany right now, where no one wants to be seen to be favoring programs that are viewed as giveaways to real estate interests. “Everything is very fluid right now,” she said. Ms. Krueger supports the de Blasio administration’s push to strengthen rent regulations, but she said the 421-a tax abatement program should be scrapped. “Why not keep the money and spend it on programs that work,” she said.

Question: Which actress plays the young black mother?

Equally fine on the other side of the story, which is dominated by women, are Ilfenesh Hadera as a Dominican immigrant, Dominique Fishback as a young black mother, and Natalie Paul as a budding community organizer. They all contribute to making “Show Me a Hero” more than worthwhile, and certainly as grounded and authentically textured as any television drama you’re likely to come across. It may not have the visceral pull that mystery and violence gave “The Wire,” or the emotional highs that music gave “Treme,” but you could do worse than a good lecture on civility, tolerance and the virtues of good government.
