Everybody has the impression that he knows the mayor of Iasi, that he could interpret Simirad's behavior very easily, but there are not two persons who might say the same thing about him.

And, as every convention, this one does not guarantee anything. The important thing is to design it. Constantin Simirad is always busy designing algori
