Take your time and do it when you're ready. Even if you have amazing chemistry, you still have to learn more about each other. And even if you're really compatible, you still may not be able to have a healthy marriage.

Science/Technology › Powered Chopsticks Use Electricity To Make Food Taste 50% Saltier by Cousin9999(op): 1:17pm On Apr 20, 2022
According to the FDA, the average American eats 3,400 mg of sodium a day, despite the Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommending less than 2,300 mg per day. Moving down to roughly a teaspoon of table salt a day can make your tastebuds weep from dullness, but what if you could get less salty satisfaction from your salt shaker and more from your utensil?

Japanese food, beverage, and pharmaceuticals company Kirin recently announced that it and a team of researchers have developed a "chopstick device" that uses electrical stimulation to make food taste up to 50 percent saltier than it would otherwise.

The qualifier "device" is likely here because these aren't your typical chopsticks. They feature a cable that connects to a power supply, making them bulkier than typical chopsticks and not the kind of utensil you'd expect to be thrown in with a delivery order for free.

The chopstick device, made by researchers from the Meiji University Dr. Homei Miyashita Laboratory of the Department of Frontier Media Science, School of Interdisciplinary Mathematical Sciences in cooperation with Kirin, uses what the team calls "electric taste sensation," which uses electricity so weak that it won't "affect the human body," Kirin's April 11 announcement claimed.

Per Kirin, the electricity "adjust[s] the function of ions such as sodium chloride, (which is the basis of salty taste), and sodium glutamate, (which is the basis of sweet taste), to change the perception of taste by making food seem to taste stronger or weaker."

Family › Re: Why Do Parents See Their Children As A Source Of Livelihood During Old Age? by Cousin9999: 6:48am On Apr 20, 2022
Some parents take this too far and obviously abuse kids. But generally, you should want to do this.

Do you really want your parents hobbling around alone? That's really messed up. As long as your parents aren't evil, it's your responsibility to care for them.

The main reason there's so much division in American families and elsewhere is because it benefits corporations and governments. It's easier to manipulate people when you create distance in the family, especially financially. For example, the elderly on their own will buy more services and basically give their whole pension back instead of it being saved and benefitting the next generation.

Foreign Affairs › World Bank: Guyana Economy Grew By Over 70% During Pandemic by Cousin9999(op): 12:57am On Apr 19, 2022
The World Bank says Guyana’s economy grew by 72.03 percent between 2019 to 2021, the largest growth rate in the Latin America and Caribbean (LAC) region.

This was outlined in the World Bank’s semiannual report for Latin America and the Caribbean which was published earlier this month.

The World Bank noted that many countries in the region, particularly the tourism-dependent nations, recorded economic declines. However, Guyana was among the 12 countries that recorded positive economic growth over the past two years and the country’s cumulative economic growth was the only one with a double-digit growth rate. Nicaragua, the country with the second-highest cumulative growth rate, grew at about 7.53 percent.

Guatemala, Chile, the Dominican Republic, Paraguay, Costa Rica, Colombia, El Salvador, Honduras, Peru, and Brazil were the other countries with positive growth rates.

Though not explicitly stated in this report, Guyana’s economic growth is underpinned by the development of a nascent oil and gas sector and spin-off developments.

The World Bank noted that although the country’s non-oil economy has been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and climate-related challenges (flooding), the development of the oil economy, facilitated Guyana’s economic expansion.

Based on new growth projections, Guyana’s real GDP is expected to expand by 47.9 percent this year. The trend of economic growth is expected to continue in 2023 with a 34.3 percent, and in 2024 with a 3.8 percent growth rate.

In its Global Economic Prospects report, released in January, the World Bank stated that Guyana’s growth projection for 2022 was 49.7 percent.

In the semiannual report, the World Bank briefly mentioned Guyana’s vulnerability to flooding. Like other countries in the LAC region, the Bank pointed out that climate change poses significant challenges to the local economy.

“Coastal cities are also threatened by sea-level rise; 60 of the 77 most densely populated cities in the region are located on the coast,” the World Bank said.

It also highlighted that without climate adaptation measures, agricultural production in the region may be hard hit. And altogether, the Bank warned that climate change could drive millions of people in the LAC region back into extreme poverty.

Travel › Angola Waives Visas For Rwandans As Luanda, Kigali Sign 9 Deals by Cousin9999(op): 12:35am On Apr 19, 2022
Rwandans traveling to Angola will not be required to have visas, thanks to a new agreement signed between the two countries.

On Friday, April 15, Rwanda and Angola signed 9 cooperation agreements in different sectors including agriculture and livestock, local administration, health, as well as mineral resources, oil and gas, trade and investment, among others.

The two countries also agreed on double taxation avoidance, extradition, legal assistance, and transfer of convicted persons.

A high level delegation from Angola led by Tete Antonio, the country’s Minister of External Relations was in Kigali to discuss bilateral relations.

Other Angolan officials who participated in the signing include their Ministers of Justice and Human Rights; Agriculture and fisheries; Health; as well as the Secretary of State for Territorial Administration, Mineral Resources, Oil and Gas, among others.

“Angola and Rwanda are going to work together to make sure that our people can benefit from the cooperation between our countries. We have different experiences from various sectors, and we just agreed to work together and share our experiences to make sure that we can mutually benefit,” Dr. Vincent Biruta, the Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation said.

He noted there are many ways that people of both countries can benefit from the deals, giving an example of how important the removal of visa requirements is.

“We have agreed that visas for diplomatic service passports as well as the ordinary passports for Rwandans visiting Angola have been removed. Rwandans can travel to Angola and do business there, benefit from the double taxation avoidance agreement we have signed. So there are many ways that Rwandans and Angolans can benefit from the agreements we signed today,” he said.

He called for results-oriented action plans, realistic time-frames and efficient monitoring mechanisms to ensure full benefit of the people of both countries.

“The government of Rwanda is committed to cementing bilateral cooperation with the government of Angola as well as working together in addressing regional, continental and global challenges that affect our countries,” he said.

On his part, Antonio said he is “deeply convinced” that the agreements signed will help to create a conducive environment for strengthening the two countries’ cooperation.

“We believe that the South-South and intra-African partnerships such as the one that we intend to build with Rwanda offer a good opportunity and valuable conditions for our continent on the road to prosperity,” he noted.

Jobs/Vacancies › Re: I Voluntarily Send Money And A Job Offer To A Fraudster Who Called To Scam Me To by Cousin9999: 11:53pm On Apr 18, 2022
The scammer used the word "sister" as part of their game. They figure a female will get more sympathy.

People who do this often don't care. The best way to try and help them is face-to-face. And you would have to be consistent and really attentive to convince them and break through the wall they have up. They've been hardened by one thing or another. Granted, some are just lazy. But I think it's fair to say most are frustrated. Most people don't aspire to their life.

I think people who actually care about stopping this and helping people need to start programs. Mentor youth and connect them with opportunities.

It's interesting that people don't want to help until these people commit a crime. But when they apply for a job, these same people basically try to scam them.

It's normal to leave your parents home only when you get married.

It's also normal for newlyweds to live with parents so they can help them with their first child, and allow them to save money for a good home.

And eventually, those parents will move in with you, so you can care for them.

Families are teams, not something to escape.
