"The Man Without a Face:The Unlikely Rise of Vladimir Putin" by Masha Gessen

The Man Without a Face: The Unlikely Rise of Vladimir Putin is an interesting about Владимир Путин and how he went from being a bully when growing up to being the President of the Russian Federation. It also deals with the end of the Soviet Union and the beginning of the Russian Federation. The intention of this book is not to paint a positive portrait of Путин, but I believe it to be an accurate portrait because of what I have read from other sources. From the beginning of the book I noticed strong similarities between Владимир Путин and Donald Trump. Neither of them want to be criticized, and both are known for their use of vulgar humor at inappropriate times. Trump would probably want to do in the U.S.A. what Путин has done in Russia. The only problems that I had with the book were minor editorial issues. There are notes for each chapter at the end of the books, but it would be easier to use these notes if there were numbers to indicate where these references are used in the text of the book. In the notes there are quotations in Russia, but these quotations are written in the Latin alphabet.This is also true of all of the Russian names in the book. I can understand why the named are written in the Latin Alphabet, but I would find it easier to know how the names are pronounced if they were also included in the Cyrillic alphabet. It would also make more sense to me for the quotations in Russian to be in the Cyrillic alphabet. Overall I think this is a good introduction to the man Владимир Путин and to the current situation in Russia.

I hope that Trump does not try to use some of Putin's tactics before the Presidential election in November.

Человек без лица: Вряд ли Восстание Владимира Путина интересная о Владимир путин и как он прошел путь от хулигана, когда рос, чтобы быть президентом Российской Федерации. Он также имеет дело с концом Советского Союза и началом Российской Федерации. Цель этой книги не нарисовать положительный портрет путин, но я считаю, что это точный портрет из-за того, что я читал из других источников. С самого начала книги я заметил сильное сходство между Владимир путин и Дональда Трампа. Ни один из них хотят быть подвергнуты критике, и оба они известны за их использование вульгарного юмора в неподходящее время. Козырь, вероятно, хотели бы сделать в U.S.A., что Путин сделал в России. Единственная проблема, что у меня было с книгой были незначительные проблемы редакционного характера. Есть примечания для каждой главы в конце книги, но было бы проще использовать эти заметки если бы цифры, чтобы указать, где эти ссылки используются в тексте книги. В примечаниях есть котировки в России, но эти цитаты написаны на латинском alphabet.This также верно всех русских имен в книге. Я могу понять, почему названные написаны буквами латинского алфавита, но мне было бы легче узнать, как имена произносятся, если они также были включены в кириллице. Было бы также иметь больше смысла для меня для котировок на русском языке как на кириллице. В целом, я думаю, что это хорошее введение к человеку Владимир путин и к нынешней ситуации в России.

Я надеюсь, что Трамп не пытается использовать некоторые тактики Путина до президентских выборов в ноябре.

"Society's Child: My Autobiography" by Janis Ian

Janis Ian has been one of my favorite singers since I was a teenager. I first became aware of her when she released "At Seventeen." Later I heard about her song, "Society's Child,"but I did not hear that song until years later. I can relate to her song lyrics. Listening to her songs has helped me through times when I was depressed. Society's Child: My Autobiography is a very moving book. I had heard about some of things about which she wrote, but that is not the same thing as reading about them from her point of view. She has had a lot of hard times in her life, but she writes about these times without displaying self pity. "Society's Child" was a song about interracial dating. She wrote that song when she was fourteen years old. It was released in 1965. I find it hard to fathom how adults could treat her the way they did in response to that song. There were people who spat at her face and in her food. She received death threats. A radio station in Atlanta that played the song was set on fire. "Some People's Lives" is another very moving song. It is about people who need someone to love them. This is a book that I highly recommend reading. I can relate to many things about she wrote.

A Post With Brief Adult Content

I hope that I will be able to get a job at the place where I am working as a temporary worker. It is not the most exciting job, but I like the atmosphere. The brewery makes very good beers. I also want to have a steady job so that I can afford a place of my own where I can live. I also want to be able to get online more often in order to post more frequently on my blog and to answer my emails more often. I wish I could find a job where I could use my skills in writing, speaking languages and sucking cocks.

Я надеюсь, что я смогу получить работу на месте, где я работаю в качестве временного работника. Это не самая захватывающая работа, но мне нравится атмосфера. Пивоваренный завод делает очень хорошие сорта пива. Я также хочу, чтобы иметь постоянную работу, так что я могу позволить себе место моей, где я могу жить. Я также хочу, чтобы иметь возможность получить в Интернете чаще, чтобы размещать более часто на своем блоге и отвечать на мои электронные письма чаще. Я хотел бы найти работу, где я мог бы использовать свои навыки в письменной форме, говоря языками и сосание петухи.

Mam nadzieję, że uda mi się dostać pracę w miejscu, gdzie pracuję jako pracownik tymczasowy. To nie jest najbardziej ekscytująca praca, ale podoba mi się atmosfera. Browar sprawia bardzo dobre piwo. Ja też chcę mieć stałą pracę tak, że mogę sobie pozwolić na własne miejsce, gdzie mogę żyć. Ja też chcę być w stanie uzyskać w Internecie coraz częściej w celu publikowania częściej na moim blogu i częściej odpowiedzieć na moje e-maile. Chciałabym znaleźć pracę, gdzie mogę wykorzystać moje umiejętności w zakresie pisania, mówienia językami i ssące kurki.

Sper că voi fi capabil de a obține un loc de muncă la locul unde lucrez ca un lucrător temporar. Nu este treaba cea mai interesantă, dar îmi place atmosfera. Fabrica de bere face beri foarte bune. De asemenea, doresc să aibă un loc de muncă stabil, astfel încât îmi pot permite un loc al meu unde pot trăi. De asemenea, doresc să fie capabil de a obține online de mai multe ori pentru a posta mai frecvent pe blog-ul meu și pentru a răspunde la e-mailurile mele mai des. Aș vrea să pot găsi un loc de muncă în cazul în care am putea folosi abilitățile mele în scris, vorbind limbi și supt cocoșilor.


More About "The Elegant Universe" by Brian Greene

I finished reading The Elegant Universe yesterday evening. I learned a lot from this book. Now I want to read The Fabric of the Cosmos, another book by Brian Greene. I also want to find other books on string theory and related subjects, preferably written after the Large Hadron Collider came online. I must admit that I have difficulty with the concept of dimensions being curved. Maybe I need to be more flexible in my thinking. I have always thought of dimensions as being flat. It would be interesting if somehow equipment could someday be built that could examine particles smaller than those that can be examined today. I find it amazing that at the time that this book was written there was equipment that could detect particles that are a billionth of a billionth of a meter in size. The range of size of things that make up our universe from quarks (and possibly smaller would be the strings of string theory) to the largest stars in the universe is mind blowing. The author wrote about a hypothetical situation where two people move past each other in space where they see nothing else. He says that they would both think of the other one as moving and themselves as being stationary. He wrote that if one of the people was wearing a jetpack he/she whould of himself/herself as moving. That is possible, but it seems as plausible that that person might think that the jetpack was keeping him/her in place.  I enjoy that this book made me think about things that I had not often considered.

In this book it is stated that it is not known what happens to matter when it goes into a black hole, and it is not known where matter came from. It is thought that matter may have been condensed to one Planck  length in size. Maybe matter going into a black hole becomes condensed to that size, and when the mass reaches a certain mass it starts expanding in another dimension as our universe was formed, and this could be the start of a new universe in another dimension.

"The Elegant Universe" by Brian Greene

I am reading The Elegant Universe by Brian Greene. It is a fascinating book about string theory and other topics in physics. I find it incredible that it is possible to detect things that are a billionth of a billionth of a meter in size. I find myself considering the ideas I have read about in this book. I think about these things while I am working and when I am walking around. (I can focus on my job and contemplate these things at the same time.) I am always excited to learn,and this book has given me a hunger for more knowledge about physics and m. I enjoyed math until I took a semester of calculus. I was frustrated,because I thought that it did not need to be as complicated as what we were being taught. I enjoy some things that are complicated, but I don't like for things to be more complicated than necessary. I was scared away from sciences by a high-school chemistry teacher.He should not have been teaching that subject.Either he did not know the subject well enough or he did not know how to communicate it. Any, I have more recently become interested in physics,and I have missed playing around with mathematics. Words and hard cocks are not the only things with which I enjoy playing.

I will will write more about this book as I read more. Reading this book is almost as giving a blow job to the man whom I love.

A Brief Post About a Dream

I had a funny dream the other night. I was approached by a local newscaster who wanted to photograph me to show my photo before the weather forecast. There was going to be a caption that read "The Legendary Bruce Leafe." I tried to tell the newscaster that I had changed my name to Vlk. She ignored what I said. I thought that nobody would believe it unless it said in parentheses "A Legend in His Own Mind." It was a very realistic dream. In the dream I was amused by the situation.
