Wah, this can be quite confusing, to me, ketchup is a dip!:p
I worked in a commercial kitchen once, and one of the cooks there said to me that potato is often thought of as a vegetable, because it is kept in the veggie produce section of a supermarket, but it should be classified as a "starch." It doesn't bother me, I just listened. From the video posted, it is correct to classify it as a vegetable, since it is a root. I suppose if one wants to get super specific about classification, it can get very complicated, I just go along with what the public generally accepts, just to make things easier. And drink beer!
Thanks for the post.
Cheers!

If tomato is a fruit then is ketchup a jam? It time to think
Cocoa Farmers Taste Chocolate for the First Time, and Their Faces Say It All
Cocoa farmers got to taste chocolate for the first time in an amazing video.
[video=youtube;zEN4hcZutO0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEN4hcZutO0[/video]
It’s a sad fact that many farmers around the world can’t afford to even taste what they’re growing. That’s especially the case for cocoa farmers, since they don’t get very much money for what has become a valuable product.
Particularly in the Ivory Coast, where most cocoa is grown on small family plantations, reported CNN. And despite cocoa rising in value, their monetary value has fallen over time when taking into account inflation.
“It’s tough,” said Jean, who inherited two hectares of land from his father at age 11. “I am brave, but I need help too.”
Fortunately, VPRO organized a tasting of chocolate for some Ivory Coast farmers who otherwise may have never had the chance to see much less taste the finished product.
Some farmers are suspicious, with one asking: “Are you really 100 percent sure that this is made from cocoa beans?”
The workers are all happy, though, in the end. “We complain because growing cocoa is hard work,” one of the workers says, having taken his first bite. “Now we enjoy the result. What a privilege to taste it.”

This Biomedical Engineer Created A Miracle Gel That Stops Bleeding Almost Instantly
Posted By rajtechnews on 27th June 2015

Excessive bleeding is a major cause of many deaths on battle field! In normal day-to-day life too, excessive bleeding can lead to a number of casualties. If the bleeding could be stopped in time, a large number of lives could be saved.
Joe Landolina, a biomedical engineer from NYU has taken this concept to the next level, in this video shared by TED. Watch him talk about his miracle gel that can stop bleeding from any major wound in under 10 seconds! If successfully implemented, it would certainly save a lot of lives!
Hats off to the genius !
