Russian central bank governor Elvira Nabiullina has played a key role in stabilizing Russia's sanctions-hit economy. It's also aimed at the woman behind him: Elvira Nabiullina, the country's central bank governor, who plays a chief role in keeping Russia's wartime economy ticking. At the time, she was the first woman to lead a Group of Eight, or G8, central bank. In 2015, Euromoney, a finance trade publication, named Nabiullina Central Bank Governor of the Year. In December, she issued a warning that Russia's economy was at risk of overheating.

☆ I went to school in the US and in Spain. My learning felt stagnant in the US, but my social life was fun.

After moving back to the US for high school, I felt like my classes were a joke. When my family moved back to the US, I started my freshman year of high school. And while that learning stagnated a bit in the US, high school was great social fun. High school felt like a joke by comparison. Much of what I learned in my chemistry and algebra classes in high school was a repeat of 8th grade.

New York City judge Arthur Engoron is presiding over Donald Trump's NY fraud trial. Engoron, a Democrat, has ruled repeatedly against Trump in the three years he's been presiding over James' lawsuit. But asked Friday if he planned to be at the New York trial, Trump said: "I may. In 2013, he was appointed an acting justice of the state's trial court and ran unopposed for a permanent post in 2015. In another ruling, Engoron said New York's review process for new housing "seems like Rube Goldberg, Franz Kafka, and the Marquis de Sade cooked it up over martinis."

But asked Friday if he planned to be at the New York trial, Trump said: “I may. I may.”Engoron, a Democrat, has ruled repeatedly against Trump in the three years he's been presiding over James' lawsuit. He's forced Trump to sit for a deposition, held him in contempt and fined him $110,000. At a hearing in the case last Wednesday, the day after his ruling, Engoron offered “a little bit of New York humor" to break the tension. In 2013, he was appointed an acting justice of the state’s trial court and ran unopposed for a permanent post in 2015.

The manner of writing is captivating and adding the pictures to the end of the book, was the perfect way to end this autobiography. At the same time, the twists of the plot are merciless – the reader falls under the spell and into the trap. Although he begins his book by recalling how his mother threw him out of a minibus because of a racist, dangerous driver, he defines very well his relationship with her.
