A walk around any New Zealand city today shows what a culturally diverse and fascinating country we have become.

Why did Homer Simpson travel to India?



Why did Homer Simpson travel to India?




If you remember, Homer accepted to work in the new Burn’s nuclear plants localized in New Delhi. He traveled to his new job and he really don’t kwon what to do when he was there. At the begins of the history, Homer couldn’t find Apu’s Cousin, this guy help Homer to go work and he saw a new kind of workers, and they are so many just like blue birds in a spring day.






The reason for Homer’s travel was an economics principium. Business people like Monty Burns wanted one thing in a factory, they hope than costs reduce at minimum. India has the world's second largest labor force, with 509.3 million people, 60% of whom are employed in agriculture and related industries; 28% in services and related industries; and 12% in industry. They are so many workers and his salary is low. They don’t fight for better jobs conditions.

Unstill that the Indian economy is among the fastest growing in the world, their GDP per capita (PPP) is US$ 3600, that is grow up economy.


We need know the business skills of Monty Burns before we hate him.

Netherlandas

The Netherlands is the European part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, which consists of the Netherlands, the Netherlands Antilles and Aruba in the Caribbean. The Netherlands is a constitutional monarchy, located in Western Europe. It is bordered by the North Sea to the north and west, Belgium to the south, and Germany to the east.
The Netherlands is often called Holland. This is formally incorrect as North and South Holland in the western Netherlands are only two of the country's twelve provinces. For more on this and other naming issues see terminology of the Netherlands.
The Netherlands is a geographically low-lying and densely populated country. It is popularly known for its traditional windmills, tulips, cheese, clogs (wooden shoes), delftware and gouda pottery, for its bicycles, its dikes and surge barriers, and, on the other hand, traditional values and civil virtues such as its classic social tolerance. But primarily, the Netherlands is a modern, advanced and open society. An old parliamentary democracy, the country is more recently known for its rather liberal policies toward recreational drugs, prostitution, LGBT rights, abortion, and euthanasia. The Netherlands is also one of the most densely cabled countries in the world; its internet connection rate is 73.3%, the 5th highest in the world.[1]
The Netherlands has an international outlook; among other affiliations the country is a founding member of the European Union (EU), NATO, the OECD, and has signed the Kyoto protocol. Along with Belgium and Luxembourg, the Netherlands is one of three member nations of the Benelux economic union. The country is host to five international(ised) courts: the Permanent Court of Arbitration, the International Court of Justice, the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia, the International Criminal Court and the Special Tribunal for Lebanon. All of these courts (except the Special Tribunal for Lebanon), as well as the EU's criminal intelligence agency (Europol), are situated in The Hague, which has led to the city being referred to as "the world's legal capital.

IsraelThe David's Start

"May the Lord send his blessing on you and keep you;
May the Lord's approval be resting on you and may he give you peace."
Numbers 6:24-26

ISRAEL

Hebrew: יִשְרָאֵל, Yisra'el. Country in Southewest Asia located on the southeastern edge of the Mediterranean Sea. With a population of about 7.2 million, Israel is the world's only Jewish state, Jerusalem is the nation's capital.

The name originated from a verse in the Bible where Jacob is renamed Israel after successfully wrestling with an angel of God. Israel means "God rules" or "God judges"; or "the prince of God" or "El fights/struggles".

Jacob's wives gave birth to twelve sons: Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Dan, Naphtali, Gad, Asher, Issachar, Zebulun, Joseph, and Benjamin.

In Egypt the tribe of Joseph was divided into two tribes, Ephraim and Manasseh, by the virtue of Jacob's blessing.

For this reason, the twelve tribes are:


1. Reuben

The mandrakes in Reuben's coat -of-arms are based on the story where young Reuben brought his mother Leah mandrakes from the field.


2. Simeon

Was one of the strongest tribes during the wandering in the desert. The symbol is that of a gate representing the city of Shecem.


3. Levi

Levi refers to Leah's hope for Jacob to join with her, implying a derivation from yillaweh, meaning he will join. Between his notable descendants are Moses, Aaron, Miriam, Samuel, John the Baptist, etc.

4. Judah

The tribe of Judah stood apart from the others as the leading tribe of the Kingdom of Judah, and from the tribe came the kingdom's rulers.


5. Dan

Dan's symbol is a scale representing justice. Dan was known as the tribe of great judges. The most famous was Samson.

6. Naphtali

"Naphtali" The symbol of this tribe is a gazelle-a very quick animal. The people of Naftali were famous for being great runners.


7. Gad

The tribal name derives from a deity worshipped by the tribe, Gad being thought by scholars to be likely to have taken its name from Gad, the semitic god of fortune.

8. Asher

Identification with the tribe of Asher is plausible according to views that place the Exodus at the end of the Hyksos period but conflicts with views.

9. Issachar

the territory of Issachar was conquered by the Assyrians, and the tribe exiled; the manner of their exile lead to their further history being lost.

10. Zebulun

The tribe of Zebulun numbered 57,400 men fit for war, this army, under the command of Eliab the son of Helon, encamped with Judah and Issachar east of the Tabernacle and with them made up the vanguard of the line of march. Among the spies sent by Moses to view the land of Canaan, Gaddiel the son of Sodi represented Zebulun.

11. Joseph

With his two son:

Menasheh and Ephraim

The territories of Menasheh and Epahraim were conquered by the Assyrians, and the tribe exiled; the manner of their exile lead to their further history being lost. However, several modern day groups claim descent, with varying levels of academic and rabbinical support. The Samaritans claims that some of their adherents are descended from those tribes.

12. Benjamin

In the Blessing of Jacob, Benjamin is referred to as a ravenous wolf; traditional interpretations often considered this to refer to the might of a specific member of the tribe, either the champion Ehud, king Saul, or Mordecai of the Esther narrativa, or in Christian circles, the apostle Paul.
