LONELY PLANET
 MALAYSIA SINGAPORE AND BRUNEI












As you may know Lonely Planet is one of the most authoritative  publishers of  tourist  books in earth . This  book (in contrast  to more  than other 70 countries ) did nt exist in the bookstore (Public) so I made  an order  via them on 2011.
The  total time  was I think ca 1 week

I Previously  found from the local market the book  for Bali/Lombok  we used during our trip on 2000

Now back to the book  with just a description of the contents

This book is quite thick of ca 640 pages , with Malaysia contained in pages 89-490  for  Spore on 491-570 and for Brunei 571-594
  • First text pages refer to the latest political situation in Malaysia  till 2008-9
  • Then pages for itineraries
  • 15 pages with history of Malaysia . But most of it (2/3)contains the more recent history  from Mahathir till today . IN these pages are  several short stories of as eg  of the founder of Malaysia Kini , the Malaysian annals m, the site  of Sabri Zain’s Sejarah Malaysia  and the Peranakans
  •  Pages  about Malaysian culture : lifestyle , economy , media , religion , architecture , music , crafts . as for Music  these singers are  shown: Zainal , Nurhaliza, Adibah , Sh Majid , Kugiran Faizal  Atilia Fran (I know all except Atilia ). From Singapore they refer Electrico Corine May .    KH Chan , Stef Sun , Tanya Chua and Ah Du
  • Food and drinks including regional species and related vocabulary
  • Environment :about the nature  . Special reference to green turtles (in Rantau Abang??)
  • Outdoor activities

Then  each chapter shows a short history  of the area in mind (say eg Kuala Lumpur ), highlights , climate , orientation , info maps m sights activities , tours events , sleeping , eating , drinking, entertainment , shipping , getting there away . Everything  with addresses , phones web pages and how to get there

Special health chapter (with recommended vaccinations such as  tetanus hepatitis measles polio typhoid vancella ) as recommended  by WHO

Special language  chapter with th  most  necessary vocabulary . Also special chapter for Singlish.

A typical  Lonely Planet  design (pictorial with tabloid design ) with several extras . Notice  that included wee some updates on 3/12/10 though listed as unverified with corrections /changes to the text

Gumus a tv series with side effects ! Aug 6, '11 10:54 PM for everyone Category: Movies Genre: Drama Gumus (Nur) a series with strong side effects !! Gumus stands for silver in Turkish , but more accurate as the “silver rays of the moon” as someone told me . As yuo may understand I mean for a Turkish TV series which has been aired in the greek TV which I can describe best as a telenovela due to similarity with the maxican TV soap operas Also someone describes with the same name : http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0441924/usercomments Before I enter into the subject let me first tell you about the facts coming from the greek TVs: At first this series is 100 episodes of 1,5 hrs each . And played in the Tuekry for 3 seasons 2005- 2007 but I have no data onhow much it gained audience . This series has been aired first on prime time (2100LT )in the Macedonia TV a nationwide TV channel based in Thessalonica and for unknown reasons they suspended it and played in the sister chann

Baraem and commentary on .... (read inside !)

BARAEM Baraem is a children TV channel more particularly for preschool children with Arabic headquarters . IN a short check today I found that this channel is indeed part of al Jazeera and is aired via the 13E Hotbird satellite We used this TVchannel in order to get rid from the possibly ‘destructive’ influence of Winx (if any ) that could be caused with the ‘magics and spells’ and now this is our daughter’s favorite  TV channel (many times she asks for Baraem ) with slightly less interest in Star the nationwide TV channel and she watches it mostly on local afternoons 8 pm ie before she goes to night sleep . This is not exactly the reason to write this article but rather  for the reason you will see at near he end of it So please be patient ! IN this channel you will not watch Sponge Bob or Dora the explorer (though the latter is quite affiliated ) but are many other series possibly more interesting than them . . Since I do nt know Arabic (I am only intending to learn the

SINPFEMO ------------- A better signal tech analysis by using F/TDM analysis drawings in specialized reports (version blogger ) Considering that SINPFEMO does not 100 % cover the truth from listeners point of view in regards to signal readability QRM and fading I have used for more than 4 years derived from more specialized monitoring equipment such as Hewlett Packard , Rohde & Shwartz etc I think however that both terms shown below are very easy to understand however there is still a little analysis behind them on how i used them so far. #1.
