Question: Who is Mark Ryan?

The total number of fatalities nationwide this year is not available, health officials said. One person in Louisiana died Wednesday and two others were in intensive care, said Mark Ryan, the director of the Louisiana Poison Center. “We had one hospital in the Baton Rouge area that saw over 110 cases in February. That’s a huge spike,” Dr. Ryan said. “There’s a large amount of use going on. When one of these new ingredients — something that’s more potent and gives a bigger high — is released and gets into distribution, it can cause these more extreme effects.”

Question: Where in Brooklyn did Joan Shelley perform?

Stars shine overhead, and rivers flow nearby in songs by Joan Shelley, who performed on Thursday night at Union Pool in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Her music is folky and pastoral, with a sense of scale that makes her humble about her place in mankind and the universe, and her songs are serene but never complacent. In “Electric Ursa,” the title song of her current album (No Quarter Records), Ms. Shelley sang, “Under your stars, your earthless movement/We are only feeble humans.”

Question: What will persistent pumping of well result into?

If the connection between groundwater and surface water is considered, that time frame for running out of water altogether will almost certainly be even shorter. Arizona’s top water official told ProPublica that it was both politically difficult and costly to properly account for the interconnection. But deep in a 685-page document that is part of Arizona’s water plan, the state lists 42 groundwater basins that it says are connected to surface water, indicating a potential conflict over rights to those supplies. It’s unclear how much water flows from one into the other, but the documents show that many of the water sources are heavily relied on as sources of both groundwater and surface supplies at the same time. Thomas Buschatzke, the director of Arizona’s Department of Water Resources, acknowledged that pumping from wells could dry up streams, but said the current law kept the two resources separate, and “it would be a huge upset to the economy to do away with that.”

Question: What given to the tenants to create value?

A. They are easier to buy. We did start our business in the B office building, and we found ourselves in that niche and felt very, very comfortable there. B buildings are very management-intensive, because there are many, many tenants involved. But we find that we do that very well and we can create value. We like to give our tenants a high-quality office environment. We don’t want them to think that they’re in a low-quality, traditional, old-fashioned B building, where they feel like they’re giving something up. Q. Would you ever consider investing in Class A buildings?  A. Absolutely, but right now it would not be possible given the competition.

Question: Why did the nurse administer overdoses of heart medication to patients?

A court sentenced a nurse to life in prison on Thursday for killing patients at a clinic with overdoses of heart medication that he confessed to administering because he enjoyed trying to revive them. The Oldenburg regional court found the 38-year-old nurse guilty of two counts of murder, two counts of attempted murder and another of serious bodily harm, said a court spokesman. Prosecutors had accused the man, identified only as Niels H., in line with German privacy rules, of three murders and two attempted murders at a clinic in the town of Delmenhorst. But he may have killed more. He said that he intentionally brought about cardiac crises in some 90 patients and that 30 had died. The police are investigating about 200 deaths that occurred at hospitals where he worked.

Question: Which institution conducted the China Household Finance Survey?

Credit Suisse estimated in a research note this week that 80 percent of urban Chinese households held stakes in the stock market, either directly or through equity funds that invest in it. By midway through this year, 8.8 percent of all Chinese households had bought stocks directly, and the vast majority were urban dwellers, according to the China Household Finance Survey, conducted by the Southwestern University of Finance and Economics in Chengdu. Under Mr. Xi, the government has urged households to invest in the stock market to meet several economic imperatives: to generate more capital for state-run companies being weaned off bank loans, to strengthen the private companies that create many of the country’s jobs, and to lift the confidence of consumers so that they will play a bigger role in driving economic growth.

Question: What political party did two of the candidates exit from?

It was impossible not to feel a sense of relief watching the Democratic debate after months dominated by the Republican circus of haters, ranters and that very special group of king killers in Congress. For those despairing about the future of American politics, here was proof that it doesn’t have to revolve around candidates who pride themselves on knowing nothing or believe that governing is all about destroying government. Civility was a big winner on Tuesday night, and the discussion of real issues was refreshing. But what stood out most was the Democratic Party’s big tent, capable of containing a spectrum of reality-based views. All five candidates — including two refugees from what had been the Republican Party, Lincoln Chafee, a former Republican senator, and Jim Webb, secretary of the Navy in the Reagan administration — have real records. They also have real differences on important issues — national security, foreign policy, gun safety, financial reforms. Those differences illuminate the choices that have to be made in governing, some likely to be successful, some ineffective.

Question: How many women were law students in Sweden?

RBG: Between 20 and 25 percent of the law students in Sweden were women. And there were women on the bench. I went to one proceeding in Stockholm where the presiding judge was eight months pregnant. There was also a journalist who wrote a column in the Swedish daily paper: “Why should women have two jobs, and men only one?” Inflation was high, and two incomes were often needed. But it was the woman who was expected to buy the kids new shoes and have dinner on the table at 7. I remember listening to those conversations. It was that same summer I read “The Second Sex.” GS: For me, an important point came when I was living in India, because of the Gandhian movement and the role of women in it. But I was slow to see how it applied here. I couldn’t quite bridge that gap until the late ’60s.

Question: What is Marcelo studying to be?

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: Feelings you get from the film would be?

While the filmmakers are not above trying to wring a few tears, they don’t wage an all-out assault on your feelings. There is a notable absence of aggression and of the kind of manipulation that yanks adjectives like “devastating” from the laptops of unwitting reviewers. The film is touching and small, but also thoughtful and assured in a way that lingers after the inevitable tears have been shed and the obvious lessons learned.

Last year, the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) approved a resolution to divest from three companies that it said supplied Israel with equipment used in the occupation of Palestinian territory. With about 1.8 million members, the church remains the largest to endorse divestment at a churchwide convention. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel and his subordinates have called the B.D.S. movement a new form of terrorism to delegitimize Israel. Supporters of the movement, including a growing number of American Jews, have called such criticism a scaremongering and divisive tactic meant to thwart legitimate debate about the Israeli occupation of lands seized in the 1967 Arab-Israeli war. Representatives of Jewish Voice for Peace, an advocacy group based in Oakland, Calif. that has endorsed the B.D.S. movement, attended the United Church of Christ meeting as observers. They said they welcomed the boycott resolution and described it as a reflection of growing impatience with what they called Israel’s intransigence.

Question: Where was this read a bestseller?

If, while sprawled in a deck chair or on the beach this summer, you crave a book whose tone and emotional landscape mirror your own state of torpor and cosseted relaxation, such a book would not be “Imperium.” Although this very amusing and bracingly oddball novel by the Swiss writer Christian Kracht does feature several palm-covered islands — not to mention many gallons of coconut oil and copious amounts of undress — calling it a beach read is like calling “Psycho” maternal. Based on a true story, “Imperium,” which was a best seller in Europe, is the fablelike account of a scrawny, nervous vegetarian and nudist from Nuremberg named August Engelhardt. It is the early 1900s — in a century that “until just before the midpoint of its duration looked as if . . . Germany would take its rightful place of honor and precedence at the table of nations” — and our bony, bearded idealist has set off for the German protectorates in the South Pacific to found a colony devoted to growing and eating only “the vegetal likeness of God.” By which is meant: coconuts. This cocovorism does not go well. As with the trajectory of that more infamous Reich spearheaded by a deluded sometime-vegetarian utopianist German, the South Pacific commune hits bumpy patches. Engelhardt is duped and robbed by a fellow pilgrim; the first of his very few colonists has his way with a local boy who lives at the colony; and his business correspondence is quickly skimmed before being repurposed as toilet paper “in the staff privy of the accountant’s office at a copper and bauxite mine.” Oh, and Engelhardt not only contracts leprosy, but his overly targeted diet begets a “furious, paralyzed, inflamed derangement.” At which point he severs one of his thumbs and puts it in a salt-filled coconut shell, like Jeffrey Dahmer at a tiki bar.

Question: What group wanted the state court to overturn the law?

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: In which New Jersey city is the US attorney's office?

The United States attorney’s office in Newark is investigating whether United reinstated flights to a South Carolina airport close to the weekend home of David Samson, the former Port Authority chairman, in exchange for concessions the airline sought from the agency. Mr. Samson is said to have raised the issue with United officials at a dinner that Mr. Fox attended in Manhattan in September 2011. Mr. Christie, a Republican, nominated Mr. Fox to be commissioner a year ago. He was hired in hopes that he could broker a deal with New Jersey’s Legislature, led by Democrats, to replenish the state’s fund for roads and transportation, which, if current trends continue, would be out of money next year.

Question: What did Westbrook think of himself in response to the 'cat or dog' question?

“Is Russell Westbrook a cat or a dog?” Westbrook is, in fact, the star point guard for the Oklahoma City Thunder, so this was a somewhat jarring question to pose to his fellow players during the National Basketball Association’s All-Star weekend in 2013. Nonetheless, they played along. James Harden thought Westbrook was more of a dog. Dwyane Wade hedged. “He’s a cat-dog,” he said. Finally, Westbrook weighed in. “Wolf,” he said. The cat-or-dog question came from a host of “The Basketball Jones,” an N.B.A. podcast started in 2006 by three Canadian basketball fanatics who will bring their blend of deep basketball analysis and irreverent, goofy attitude to the N.B.A.’s All-Star festivities this weekend in New York.

Answer: Wolf

“ Wolf ,” he said.

Question: Who's stance offers a reason to explain the benefits of monitoring wages?

I count myself among those analysts who have described the potential benefits of wage targeting at the Fed — waiting until wages are growing considerably faster than they are today before tapping the brakes. Ms. Yellen’s stance offers a reason to explain those benefits. So here goes: The current unemployment rate is an unreliable indicator of the job market’s strength. The unemployment rate has long informed Fed policy by signaling the extent of slack in the labor market, but in recent years, it has been biased down in this regard. For example, the job market is not as tight as its current level of 5.5 percent unemployment suggests.

Question: When were the appliances replaced?

INDOORS: The house was built in 1928 and renovated within the last 10 years, at which point a wing was added. The exterior is limestone, likely quarried in the region, and the style is a subset of Tudor revival called Cotswold, known for steeply pitched gables and prominent front chimneys. The new wing was designed by Stock & Stone Architecture of Columbus, which the listing agent says is known for its work on older houses. Through the front door, there’s a foyer that leads to a living room with a high pitched ceiling and a fireplace flanked by large windows. The exposed ceiling beams are original, as is much of the chestnut woodwork, complemented by stone floors laid during renovations. On one side of the foyer are a breakfast room and a kitchen, with appliances updated over the last 10 years. On the other side of the foyer is a wing with three bedrooms and two bathrooms; another bedroom and bathroom are upstairs.

Question: What is the abiding interest that Joe Swanberg shares with Woody Allen?

You might almost mistake this for a middle- or late-period Woody Allen movie, in other words. Mr. Swanberg shares Mr. Allen’s abiding interest in the swerves and reversals of romance, but he conducts his investigations on firmer moral and philosophical ground. His characters evince mumbling anomie rather than eloquent neurosis. Their conversation is stripped of cultural references and instead of grappling with the meaning of existence they struggle with the competing demands of hedonism and responsibility. They want to be cool, fun, laid back and nonjudgmental, but they also want to behave decently.

Question: Who argued that bond E.T.F.s are good for the markets in general?

The Institute of International Finance, a trade group that represents global banks, also released a letter on Wednesday that warned of the huge buildup of assets in the bond market. The institute’s views on the topic tend to reflect its main constituency, investment banks, which have complained that excessive regulation has hindered their ability to provide liquidity in the market. BlackRock has argued that bond E.T.F.s, and its increasing size, are healthful for the markets in general and that in a low interest rate environment it is to be expected that long-term investors like insurance companies and pension funds invest in higher yielding securities to lock in better returns. Moreover, the industry has said that firms like BlackRock do not invest their own capital in these types of securities — as investment banks did before the crisis — and do not rely on leverage to bolster returns.

Question: When did Jo Ann Soderquist graduate?

“This knocked me off my feet,” she said, adding, “when I left Sweet Briar, there was no question that I would go on to graduate school.” Jo Ann Soderquist Kramer, class of ’64, said that when she arrived for her freshman year, she and her roommate each unpacked identical framed 8-by-10 photographs of their high school sweethearts and set them carefully on their bureaus. She also recalled being driven all the way to Massachusetts one football weekend (the sweethearts were Amherst and Williams men) in a white Cadillac with a hired driver named Coffee Jackson.

Question: What type of album Mr. Bridges recorded?

Wednesday night, Leon Bridges was wearing a drapy, short-sleeved, wide-collared shirt tucked into high-waisted, form-fitting slacks held up with a thin belt. The look was somewhere between 1957 and 1963, as was the sound. Mr. Bridges is a soul man of the classic sort — or, at least, that’s how the sales pitch goes. Here, at the Music Hall of Williamsburg, he was surrounded by his band in static “Ed Sullivan Show” style, singing songs that recalled the peak Sam Cooke era. Mr. Bridges has just released his debut album, “Coming Home” (Columbia). All the parts are there — he recorded his album live to tape, on vintage equipment, with producers obsessed with 1950s soul. He has both an edgeless, soothing voice and a knack for swinging, idea-filled songwriting.

Question: What is his first request?

This leads him to the central matter he wishes to raise with young people. “Hence, my first request is: Study and research the incentives behind this widespread tarnishing of the image of Islam.” Read the Quran yourself, he advises. “Have you studied the teachings of the Prophet of Islam and his humane, ethical doctrines? Have you ever received the message of Islam from any sources other than the media?” “Try and find answers yourself,” he writes. “The future of your nations and countries will be in your hands; and also I find that the sense of quest for truth is more vigorous and attentive in your hearts.”

Question: Where was Mr. Cradle arrested on drug charges?

The circumstances of the shooting remained under investigation. The police did not immediately say whether the gun they were searching for in the apartment had been found or why they believed it was there. Mr. Cradle, who was on probation for driving while intoxicated, had several prior arrests, though some were sealed. None of the unsealed arrests were for violent offenses, the police said. Public records indicated that in 2008 he pleaded guilty to a felony drug conspiracy charge — one of 37 defendants in a long-term narcotics investigation in the Cypress Hills housing development — and served less than a year in state prison.

Question: Which actor gets naked in Joe Swanberg's new movie, "Digging for Fire"?

“Digging for Fire,” Joe Swanberg’s new feature is, like many of his previous movies, a case study in heterosexual ethics. Its scope is narrow and, the title notwithstanding, it plumbs no great depths. But like Mr. Swanberg’s “Drinking Buddies” and “Happy Christmas,” the film has an appealing honesty and an enjoyably low-key comic style. The opening titles promise a big ensemble, and a good deal of suspense comes from wondering just when some of those intriguing names will show up. It would almost be a spoiler to tell you when and in what capacity they do, but it’s fun to anticipate the arrival of Melanie Lynskey, Sam Elliott, Brie Larson, Chris Messina (who gets naked) and Anna Kendrick (who almost does). Orlando Bloom appears at almost the precise moment you’ve forgotten he was supposed to, wearing a man-bun and an air of rugged weariness.

Question: Where were the 2014 Olympics hosted?

Ecclestone actually said this was sport, not politics. He held his race and stood side-by-side with Putin last October. Sochi, of course, hosted the 2014 Winter Games, despite concerns at the time about corruption, spiraling costs, terrorism and Russian legislation that was criticized as anti-gay. “Keep politics from our sport” was and still is the message. Putin has already stated that the Kremlin will waive visa restrictions for the World Cup. Blatter will soon run, and most likely easily win, another four-year term as FIFA president, taking him through the 2018 event. He will accept that mantle with his customary lecture about soccer overcoming all the beastly differences that mankind makes for itself.

Question: At what age European girls started to play competitive against boys?

Heinrichs is trying to keep the Americans at the forefront at a time when a number of European girls are playing primarily against boys to develop their technical skills and are turning professional as young as 14. One solution, Heinrichs believes, is to accelerate the development of female players in the United States by having them play up in age as they advance through the club and national-team systems and by having them play more often against boys, who tend to be faster and stronger. “When people say the gap is closing, I would say the gap has closed and we’re falling behind in these areas,” Heinrichs, 51, said of the disparity between the United States and other countries. Perhaps no one can match her breadth of experience in American women’s soccer. Heinrichs won three N.C.A.A. championships while playing at North Carolina. She served as captain of the United States team that won the inaugural Women’s World Cup, in 1991. And she coached the American team to a gold medal at the 2004 Athens Olympics, a silver at the 2000 Sydney Games and third place at the 2003 World Cup.

Question: Who created the visuals for Don Quixote de la Mancha?

Mr. Chávez wove the tunes of folk songs like “La Cucaracha” through a modernist idiom in a work for solo piano, and altered a traditional song chromatically in his Sonatina for Violin and Piano. His “Cuatro Melodías Tradicionales Indias del Ecuador” was beautifully sung by the soprano Cecilia Violetta López, whose bright, expressive voice made a strong impression in several works, including de Falla’s “El Retablo de Maese Pedro.” The resetting of part of Don Quixote de la Mancha’s story concluded the final program in a charming production featuring puppets and witty visuals designed by Doug Fitch.

Question: What use if taking on debt?

“A middle class that believed deeply that the motherland would become strong has been eviscerated,” said an essay circulating on Chinese websites this week that was credited to an investor who had lost most of his savings. “This was a stock wipeout that thoroughly damaged middle-class assets from a decade of striving. For us, the China Dream really is just a dream.” The giddiest investors, including those who took on debt to buy stock, are wondering if they can recover their fortunes. Some have posted notices on property rental and sales websites saying they need to sell their homes quickly to raise cash.

Question: What is the position of Andrew Berman?

Assemblywoman Deborah J. Glick, a Democrat whose district includes the area and who was a plaintiff in the case, said the decision “puts the limited open space that we jealously guard and protect totally at risk everywhere in the city.” Andrew Berman, the executive director of the Greenwich Village Society for Historic Preservation, said his organization was consulting its lawyers about any other legal recourse that might stop or alter the expansion. “We’re already suffering from an extreme over-concentration of N.Y.U.-related uses,” Mr. Berman said. “Thousands of additional people and millions of additional square feet of construction is eventually going to make the Village feel like a company town.”

Question: What does Australia's political turmoil date to?

But Mr. Turnbull will have to lead not only the lawmakers in his own party — 44 of whom did not vote for him on Monday night, against 54 who did — but also a country where policy in recent years often seems to have been made on the run, and often in response to flagging opinion polls.

Question: Who said he was tired of the government?

“I like Ben Carson because he’s not government, and I’m tired of government,” said Doug May, 70, a retired chief information officer in Bluffton, S.C. Mr. May added, referring to the Russian president, Vladimir V. Putin: “What worries me the most about Donald Trump is what he would do if put into a situation where he is sitting down with Putin.

Question: Who was the Ukrainian officer?

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.
