Question: What organization is claimed to not provide health care for Fiorina?

“The evil genius of Fiorina,” Stan wrote, “is her uncanny ability to play the gender warrior within the GOP while promoting the party’s misogyny.” Stan continued: “But her feminism seems to begin and end with the fortunes of Fiorina herself, and seeing as she probably doesn’t rely on Planned Parenthood for her health care, she’s happy to deprive millions of women of that care by promoting outright lies about the organization, as in her false description of the video she referenced.” This distancing herself from the realities of less fortunate women is not new for Fiorina. When she became C.E.O. of Hewlett-Packard in 1999, she made the preposterous claim that “there is not a glass ceiling… My gender is interesting but really not the subject of the story here.”

Question: What do women in tech underplay?

Take Mr. Wadhwa’s claim that women in tech often underplay their accomplishments and that they should adopt a brash tone. In an article responding to the WNYC podcast, Mr. Wadhwa wrote that his findings were the product of two research
 reports, but those do not mention the confidence problem. When I asked him about it, he said the idea was born out of many interviews with women. His critics concede that women do sometimes underplay their strengths, but they point to another concern: Studies show that when women speak up in negotiations or other meetings, they are often penalized for doing so. And should women get ahead by aping the air of overconfidence and bravado that characterizes the Valley’s most cringe-inducing men? “I think that in 2015 we can give women better advice than ‘Behave more like men,’ ” said Cate Huston, a software engineer who has worked at Google and IBM.

Question: Who requested doping bans?

The Italian Olympic Committee requested two-year doping bans for 26 track and field athletes — several of whom were expected to compete at next year’s Rio de Janeiro Games.

Question: When did the government take extraordinary measures?

The move signals that the government is beginning to step back from the extraordinary measures it took over the summer to stop a steep sell-off in the country’s stock markets. In addition to suspending I.P.O.s, those measures included a harsh crackdown backed by the police against any investors betting against stocks, orders for state-owned brokerages to buy stocks on behalf of the state, and banning large shareholders of companies from selling their stakes. The timing of the move is opportunistic, as Chinese stocks have recently staged a rebound. From its low in late August, the main Shanghai share index has risen 23 percent. Getting the I.P.O. process right has proved challenging for Chinese regulators, who have suspended and resumed new listings several times in recent years when markets have become too volatile. New listings are a favored target of speculators because, under current regulations, the shares are permitted to rise as much as 44 percent on their first day of trading. Trading on subsequent days is capped at a daily gain or loss of 10 percent, as it is for all other stocks.

The move signals that the government is beginning to step back from the extraordinary measures it took <hl> over the summer <hl> to stop a steep sell-off in the country’s stock markets. In addition to suspending I.P.O.s, those measures included a harsh crackdown backed by the police against any investors betting against stocks, orders for state-owned brokerages to buy stocks on behalf of the state, and banning large shareholders of companies from selling their stakes. The timing of the move is opportunistic, as Chinese stocks have recently staged a rebound. From its low in late August, the main Shanghai share index has risen 23 percent. Getting the I.P.O. process right has proved challenging for Chinese regulators, who have suspended and resumed new listings several times in recent years when markets have become too volatile. New listings are a favored target of speculators because, under current regulations, the shares are permitted to rise as much as 44 percent on their first day of trading. Trading on subsequent days is capped at a daily gain or loss of 10 percent, as it is for all other stocks.

Question: What have financial regulators been cracking down on recently?

As part of their increased oversight, financial regulators have been cracking down recently on insider trading, which analysts say is rampant on the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock markets. Suspicions of insider trading were cited this week in the arrest of the owner of one of the country’s top investment firms, Xu Xiang, a billionaire who has been called the Carl Icahn of China. With the resumption of I.P.O.s, the spokesman for the securities regulator, Deng Ge, said on Friday that the agency intended to simplify the approval process for smaller companies and heighten the responsibilities of the brokerages that bring new listings to the market. The new measures would “increase protections for the rights and interests of investors and further reform and perfect the I.P.O. system,” Mr. Deng said, according to Xinhua. In a separate development Friday evening, China’s central bank and securities regulator jointly published long-delayed guidelines for investment firms in mainland China and Hong Kong to gain access to each other’s markets.

Question: How long has Johannsson been with AZ Alkmaar?

Johannsson has played with the Dutch club AZ Alkmaar since 2013, scoring 38 goals in 84 games across all competitions. He will depart after having led the club to three important wins to end last season and propelling AZ into a surprising third-place finish that earned the team a place in the Europa League this season. On Tuesday, AZ announced that it had agreed to sell Johannsson’s rights to Werder Bremen. Johannsson still needed to agree to a contract and pass a physical; those could be completed as soon as Wednesday. “Once they came and were interested, it was a pretty easy choice, because obviously I want to play for a better team in a better league, and the Bundesliga is one of the best leagues in the world,” Johannsson said in a farewell interview posted online by AZ. “It’s a step in the right direction for me, and hopefully it will go well.” The move now makes Johannsson the only American forward likely to see regular minutes in one of Europe’s top leagues. Clint Dempsey was the last American to establish himself in an elite league; his best season was in 2011-12 with Fulham, when he scored 17 goals in the Premier League and 23 over all.

Johannsson still needed to agree to a contract and pass a physical; those could be completed as soon as Wednesday. “Once they came and were interested, it was a pretty easy choice, because obviously I want to play for a better team in a better league, and the Bundesliga is one of the best leagues in the world,” Johannsson said in a farewell interview posted online by AZ. “It’s a step in the right direction for me, and hopefully it will go well.” The move now makes Johannsson the only American forward likely to see regular minutes in one of Europe’s top leagues. Clint Dempsey was the last American to establish himself in an elite league; his best season was in 2011-12 with Fulham, when he scored 17 goals in the Premier League and 23 over all.

Question: Who went with Dempsey to the M.L.S?

The United States national team coach, Jurgen Klinsmann, has frequently said that he hopes his players push themselves to play in the best leagues — comments that have, at times, drawn the ire of M.L.S. officials. Despite those wishes, many prominent Americans have left European clubs to sign multimillion-dollar deals with M.L.S. Dempsey returned in 2013, and he was soon followed by Michael Bradley, Jermaine Jones, Altidore, Mix Diskerud and Sacha Kljestan. Johannsson’s move, especially if he earns regular playing time and continues to score goals, could be good news for his national team career. In 2013, Johannsson, who was born in Alabama but raised in Iceland, changed his international allegiance to the United States after years of representing Iceland at the youth level. Since then, he has consistently been part of the national team, including the World Cup squad in 2014, when injuries limited him to one appearance. The move to the Bundesliga could signify a shift, and help Johannsson press Dempsey, 32, and Altidore, 25, on Klinsmann’s depth chart heading into qualifying for the 2018 World Cup. Werder Bremen should be able to use Johannsson right away; it transferred the Argentine forward Franco Di Santo, its top scorer last season, with 13 goals, to Schalke on July 25.
