My name is Klara Orsolya Eme Bassey. I was born in Budapest in 1983 February 2nd. So now I'm 24. After High School, I tried a University (Eötvós Lorand Tudomány Egyetem) but I left before the first exams.
I'm not sure what your question really is, but I enjoyed reading your bio.
As with all emigrants, sure, there is still affection for the land of the ancestors, but, you are a citizen of the land you were born in, and that is where your heart is.
To save us from our addiction to fossil fuel,
Here is my 10-step plan for making America bicycle friendly and better:
Step 1:
Permanently Close Interstate highways like I-95, I-90, I-25, whichever highway you...
So, you want government to make all of your decisions. What about those who do not live where they can go to work on a bicycle? Many in this area drive 50 miles one way to find work, thanks to the business destroying policies of the government. You are certifiable without doubt
Comparative advantage: American buyers still prefer Pakistani apparel
KARACHI: Despite the chronic energy crisis, the gas shortages, the bombings, the terrorism and the violence, Pakistani apparel is one of the lowest cost options for US-based buyers, cheaper even than Bangladesh, India and China, according to American buyers of textiles.
The cost differentials can be as high as 25%, substantial in an industry that generally operates on low margins for exporters. For example, a hooded sweatshirt, which is made at the rate of $12 a piece in China, is manufactured in Pakistan for $9 to $10. Similarly, a pair of jeans, whose manufacturing cost is $10 in China, costs $8 to $8.50 in Pakistan.
Edward Hertzman, director of business development at Synergies Worldwide, a global sourcing company, explains why that is. “The cost of labour in Pakistan is less than China, India and Vietnam,” said Hertzman, whose company placed $75 million worth of orders with Pakistani textile companies last year.

Could 'Smart' Textiles Prove Toxic? - NYTimes.com
As a Science Times article on wired textiles recently noted, electronic or “smart” textiles have electronics in the very weave of their fabric, enabling clothing to respond in various ways to the environment and to function as electronic devices, like mobile phones or heart-rate monitors.
With their social and commercial promise, e-textiles, also known as smart textiles, are the focus of intense laboratory development and testing. Few laboratories, however, have designed prototypes with an eye toward safe disposal once the products have reached the end of their life cycle. A recent study published in the Journal of Industrial Ecology undertook the first analysis of the implications of e-textile manufacture on a large scale. “I wanted to conduct a basic disposal assessment,” Andreas Köhler, the article’s lead author, said in an interview.
He said he wondered what would happen if electronic components that include copper, gold, silver and other rare earth metals ended up in the waste stream as part of textiles.
