This One of my most interesting books of the past bought on 80s  it os a handy book of the world of ca a6 size 





A small book of a 300 pages has nice maps but very condensed to the level  that my eyes cannot read ot without a magnifying lens . The fonts used  are between 2 and 4 picas See above on how  small are these fonts ! 

The book has also a concise map of the world as is shown in the above  picture



On the end  of the book  there is a very condensed  index of cities around the world Again  ont size is very small , about 3-4  picas . In greece not only the biggest cities are referred but also some of the minor !

A nice and very concise travel guide for the whole  if still available !

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 .

BARAEM Baraem is a children TV channel more particularly for preschool children with Arabic headquarters .

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.
