Jamaica Phone Directory
Published by phonedirectory, on May 29th, 2010, in the categories: By Location
Jamaica is an island in the Caribbean Sea, measuring only 11,000 square kilometers but yet very famous and important to the cultural heritage of the world. It is a land of singing and dancing and many of the most famous singers were born here. The most well known of them is the legend of the reggae music, Bob Marley.
Jamaica was originally inhabited by some local Indian tribes, the Arawak and the Taino, and later was claimed for Spain by Christopher Columbus around the year 1500. this is why the Jamaica phone directory is a strange mixture between Spanish and Indian names. The country’s name comes from the word xamayca, which means the country of the wood and water, name given by the Indian population.
After the Spanish conquest the capital of the island was declared the Spanish Town, today’s parish of St. Catherine. But the Spanish reign did not last long because at the middle of the 16th century the British took over the island, adding English names to the Jamaica phone directory. By now the island had a population of about 5,000 people formed from whites, Indians, and the black slaves that the Spanish left behind.
The British ruled Jamaica for about 200 years and encouraged slavery because they started exporting sugar, so the population of Jamaica increased, and the afro American’s percentage rose noticeably (the whites represented only 5 percent of the total population). The blacks had very rough times in that period, because slaves were not well treated , they were wiped if they refused or could not work any more because of the exhaustion, the women were sold and raped by the whites, were not given any free days to rest. By the middle of the 18th century, the total population of Jamaica was about 370,000 people, out of which 300,000 people were slaves.
After the abolition of slavery, the British imported workers from China and India to replace the black workers, and the Asian remained here. This colorful population produced a lot of valuable artists, that marked the history of music and of literature. Jamaica is synonymous with music and gets its origins from the black slaves that used to work here and whose only joy at the end of a long exhausting day was singing and dancing. This is when the drugs consumption begun, too, and the number of drug addicts has increased a lot, and became one of the first things that cross somebody’s mind when talking about Jamaica. The drug consumption is very popular among the people that have a low income, and is inherited from the slavery period. Unfortunately it has reached a very high level, and the government makes great efforts to keep it under control.

France Phone Directory
Published by phonedirectory, on May 29th, 2010, in the categories: By Location, phone directory
France is one of the oldest European countries and is situated in the west of the European continent. The capital of France is Paris, and France is a democratic country which has one of the most flourishing economies of Europe.
The name of France comes from the land of Francs and was named a long time ago Francia. It was populated in old times by a Germanic warrior tribe, so do not be surprised if the France phone directory contains names that have a German sonority. The Francs established on the right side of the Rhine, next to the Roman Empire, and were free people, subdued neither to the Romans, nor to any other important empire of that time (the word “frank” meant in the Germanic language “free”).
France has been for a long time a monarchy, and was leaded by a few important dynasties: Capet, Valois and Bourbon. These are the times described by Alexander Dumas’ novels, “ the three musketeers”, “ The count of Monte Cristo” and “The black tulip”. The books describe the political and cultural environment of those times integrated in the story of the central characters, common people that at some point interacted with the royal family. If you read those books you will notice that corruption and political games were frequent at that time, and that church, represented by the cardinal, was a major player on the scene of politics. The cardinal was not a holy man, but a fine politician, whose role was more important than the king’s. Take the famous cardinal Richelieu for example: he was the most powerful man in the state and he could easily influence the royal family’s actions using his power as a priest.
The history and culture of France play a leading role in today’s economy as well. Think about the number of tourists that come to visit France and Paris every day, think about the museums that host the most important art collections in the world. They have a long academic history, and that is why France is one of the most well known university centers in Europe.
There are many foreign students here, and many of them are here to stay, that is why, if you look in the France phone directory you will find a lot of foreign names, at least in the region of Paris. The capital of France has over million inhabitants, but the metropolitan area reaches a number of 12 million people.
Paris is an important traveling destination especially for young couples, because it is considered to be the city of love. Indeed, what can be considered more romantic that having dinner at a restaurant in the Eiffel Tower and then walking on the streets of Paris?

Germany Phone Directory
Published by phonedirectory, on May 28th, 2010, in the categories: By Location, phone directory
Germany is one of the states found in the European continent and is part of the many European organizations, like the European Union, ONU, the Counsel of Europe and so on. The history and the German language date ages back, but the German state only formed one hundred and fifty years ago, because the Germans’ ancestors come from the migratory tribes that wondered in Europe hundreds and thousands of years ago and did not felt the need to establish to a particular region.
Germany suffered a lot, financially and from many other points of view, after the First World War, when it was declared responsible for the war in the Versailles Treaty. This might have been the reason why Hitler got such a large public and so many people believed in his ideology. They felt oppressed, needed a radical change and someone to tell them that they are the “chosen nation” (the Arians). Many people didn’t realize at start the consequences and the implications of the Hitler’s political speeches, and when they did it was too late, they have already chosen a mad dictator to rule their beautiful Germany.
The name Hitler can still be found in the Germany phone directory but I believe that no one would admit they are related to him even if they were. He knew exactly what to emphasize and tickle in order to flatter the German people’s pride. No one knew what was going to happen and the atrocities that he was going to commit. Surely their choice would have been different if they knew. The population of Germany used to have quite a large percentage of Jews, whom he considered to be the cause of all the bad things in Germany. So he started building concentration camps and filling them with Jews and other ethnic minorities whom he considered were not good enough to live in Germany. What followed was a horrible crime, hundreds of thousands of people were killed like herds of cattle and their goods, part of the Germany’s cultural heritage, were destroyed.
If you look now in the Germany phone directories you will find few Jewish names, because very few jaws survived, and the ones that did got as far as they could from Germany and the memories of the concentration camps.
You can not even imagine the stories of the survivors of the Second World War genocide. People were not fed properly, were put to work till exhaustion, and they couldn’t work anymore they were killed. This was the fate of the children and older people too because they were considered useless, and the Reich (in German language Reich means empire) had no reason to feed them and provide them with clothes.

Singapore Phone Directory
Published by phonedirectory, on May 28th, 2010, in the categories: phone directory
The republic of Singapore is an insular state situated in the south of the Malay Peninsula and is the smallest state of the South-East Asia. It has a total surface of 704 square kilometers, but like all the countries of Asia is overpopulated. If you look in the Singapore phone directory you will find over five million entries, different names with different ethnical origins: Chinese, Malays, Asians, Indians and even Caucasians.
This little country is inhabited by the largest percentage of foreigners, about half of its population is made up by foreigners and they make Singapore the second busiest country in the world, after Monaco. The name Singapore means the Lion City and it was wrongly named by the city’s founder, because it must have been named after a tiger he has seen, there were never lions in this region.
The early stories about Singapore are dated in the third century, when it was used as a port and for commercial activities, but the glory of the city truly begun when it became an English colony in the middle of the 18th century. Back then the island only had about 100,000 inhabitants. Without the English occupation that brought here a lot of commercial activities and business it would have been a very poor country, and would not have been able even to practice agriculture, due to its small dimensions. Some of the English that were brought to work in the marine and commercial offices established here and married local women, so many of the inhabitants have mixed blood. Do not be surprised if you look up mister Arthur Smith in the Singapore phone directory , and instead of an Englishman in a checked suit you will find a perfectly Asian looking fellow, whose grand grand father has moved to Asia some one hundred and fifty ears ago.
Singapore officially became a self governing state in 1965, but this meant a crisis period for its inhabitants (lack of jobs, homes, the small territory and the lack of natural resources), because the money and business opportunities from Kuala Lumpur stopped coming, so they would have to manage themselves.
The next period of time was very tough for this little country but they got on really well, and now they have the fourth largest income in the world calculated per capita. The economy of the state is very much based on the processing of imported goods, especially from the production sector. They are specialized in electronics and finesse equipment, such as medical devices or mobile phones.
It is also an important tourist destination, both for pleasure but for medical reasons too. They have a lot of good doctors and specialists, and they have also cheap services in order to encourage the medical tourism phenomenon.

Ohio House Of Representatives; Phone Directory
Published by phonedirectory, on May 27th, 2010, in the categories: By Location
The congress of the United States is bicameral; it has an upper house which is called the United States Senate and a lower house which is called the United States House of Representatives. The Senate and the House have well established powers and duties: the House is responsible for the laws that will be applied to the whole country and the Senate, together with the president of the United States, is responsible for agreeing with the expenses that will be generated by the changes implemented by the new law.
The state of representatives is limited to a maximum number of 453 members, and each state is allowed to a number of representatives proportional to the population in each state, at least one member for each state, whereas the senate has an equal number of people representing each state.
The two Chambers have different duties and responsibilities but no law can pass to the executive without both of their approval.
There are a few requirements that the members of the House of Representatives should meet: they must have at least the age of twenty five years old, they should have been a citizen of the United States for the past ten years, they have to be inhabitants of the district they are going to represent and of course they need to have a clean criminal record.
The elections for the members of the House of Representatives are held every two years and they can be expelled if their attitude is not suitable for the political career. Only few of them were expelled from the House, for corruption, bribe and criminal convictions.
The Ohio House of Representatives now has 99 member whom you can all contact and if you have something to ask or to share and whose telephone numbers can be found in the phone directory, both on the house’s web site and on the online directory of the Ohio state. If you enter the online web site of the House you will be able to read a welcome message on the first page that invites you to go there and inquire about their legislative projects and see for yourself the people you elected. This means a lot for the common people that sometimes regard people who work in the government institutions with disbelief, and the fact that you can find the number of the politicians from the Ohio House of Representatives in the city’s phone directory means a lot to them.
Gaining trust from the population is a very difficult matter, especially for these times, when crisis has hit especially people with mid to low incomes, people that represent more that half of the inhabitants of this state. Keep up the good work!
