Delivery | What is a typical rate of turn for the stone in the game of curling? | Curling | false | 4SPORT
| [
22
] | [
"The process of sliding a stone down the sheet is known as the \"delivery\".",
"The \"skip\", or the captain of the team, will usually determine the required \"weight\", \"turn\", and \"line\" of the stone.",
"These will be influenced by the tactics at this point in the game, which may involve taking-out, blocking or tapping another stone.",
" The weight of the stone is its velocity, which depends on the leg drive of the delivery rather than the arm.",
" The turn, handle, or curl is the rotation of the stone, which gives it a curved trajectory.",
" The line is the direction of the throw ignoring the effect of the \"turn\".",
"The skip may communicate the \"weight\", \"turn\", \"line,\" and other tactics by calling or tapping a broom on the ice.",
"In the case of a takeout, guard, or a tap, the skip will indicate the stones involved.",
"Before delivery, the running surface of the stone is wiped clean and the path across the ice swept with the broom if necessary, because any dirt on the bottom of a stone or in its path can alter the trajectory and ruin the shot.",
"Intrusion by a foreign object is called a \"pick up\" or \"pick\".",
"The thrower throws from the \"hack\".",
"Another player, usually the skip, is stationed behind the \"button\" to determine the tactics, \"weight\", \"turn\", and \"line\", and the other two may sweep in front of the stone to influence the trajectory (see Sweeping, below).",
"The players, with the exception of the skip, take turns throwing and sweeping; when one player (e.g., the lead) throws, the players not throwing (the second and third) sweep.",
"When the skip throws, the \"third\", or vice-skip, takes his role.",
"The thrower's \"gripper\" shoe (with the non-slippery sole) is positioned against one of the hacks; for a right-handed curler the right foot is placed against the left hack and vice-versa for a left-hander.",
"The thrower, now \"in the hack\", lines the body up with shoulders square to the skip's broom at the far end for \"line\".",
"The stone is placed in front of the foot now in the hack.",
"Rising slightly from the hack, the thrower pulls the stone back to the toe (some older curlers may actually raise the stone in this backward movement) then lunges smoothly out from the hack pushing the stone ahead while the slider foot is moved in front of the gripper foot, which trails behind.",
"The thrust from this lunge determines the \"weight\" and hence the distance the stone will travel.",
"While not compulsory, most curlers deliver the stone while sliding out from the hack.",
"Balance may be assisted by a broom held in the free hand with the back of the broom down so that it slides.",
"The stone is released as the thrower's momentum wanes, or the hog line is approached, at which point the \"turn\" is imparted by a slight clockwise or anti-clockwise twist of the handle from around the two or ten o'clock position to the twelve o'clock on release.",
"A typical rate of turn is about 2½ rotations before coming to a rest.",
"The stone must be released before its front edge crosses the near hog line, and it must clear the far hog line or else be removed from play (\"hogged\"); an exception is made if a stone fails to come to rest beyond the far hog line after rebounding from a stone in play just past the hog line.",

"The degree of Mudd's culpability has remained a controversy ever since.",
"Some, including Mudd's grandson Richard Mudd, claimed that Mudd was innocent of any wrongdoing and that he had been imprisoned merely for treating a man who came to his house late at night with a fractured leg.",
"Over a century after the assassination, Presidents Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan both wrote letters to Richard Mudd agreeing that his grandfather committed no crime.",
"However, others, including authors Edward Steers, Jr. and James Swanson, assert that Samuel Mudd visited Booth three times in the months before the failed kidnapping attempt.",
"The first time was November 1864 when Booth, looking for help in his kidnapping plot, was directed to Mudd by agents of the Confederate Secret Service.",
"In December, Booth met with Mudd again and stayed the night at his farm.",
"Later that December, Mudd went to Washington and introduced Booth to a Confederate agent he knew — John Surratt.",
"Additionally, George Atzerodt testified that Booth sent supplies to Mudd's house in preparation for the kidnap plan.",
"Mudd lied to the authorities who came to his house after the assassination, claiming that he did not recognize the man who showed up on his doorstep in need of treatment and giving false information about where Booth and Herold went.",
"He also hid the monogrammed boot that he had cut off Booth's injured leg behind a panel in his attic, but the thorough search of Mudd's house soon revealed this further evidence against him.",
"One hypothesis is that Dr. Mudd was active in the kidnapping plot, likely as the person the conspirators would turn to for medical treatment in case Lincoln were injured, and that Booth thus remembered the doctor and went to his house to get help in the early hours of April 15."

"Originally named \"The Poet\" (\"\"), the \"Thinker\" was initially a figure in a large commission, begun in 1880, for a doorway surround called \"The Gates of Hell\".",
"Rodin based this on \"The Divine Comedy\" of Dante, and most of the many figures in the work represented the main characters in the epic poem.",
"Some critics believe \"The Thinker\", at the centre of the composition over the doorway and at about 70 cm high larger than most other figures, was originally intended to depict Dante at the Gates of Hell, pondering his great poem.",
"However, there are questionable aspects to this interpretation, including that the figure is naked, Dante is fully clothed throughout his poem, and that the figure, as used, in no way corresponds to Dante's effete figure.",
"The sculpture is nude, as Rodin wanted a heroic figure in the tradition of Michelangelo, to represent intellect as well as poetry.",
"This detail from the \"Gates of Hell\" was first named \"The Thinker\" by foundry workers, who noted its similarity to Michelangelo's statue of Lorenzo de Medici called \"\"\"\" (The Thinker).",
"Rodin decided to treat the figure as an independent work, at a larger size.",

"I say only they will not come by sea\"), Britain maintained low-intensity land warfare on a global scale for over a decade.",
"The British government paid out large sums of money to other European states, so that they could pay armies in the field against France.",
"These payments are colloquially known as the Golden Cavalry of St George.",
"The British Army provided long-term support to the Spanish rebellion in the Peninsular War of 1808–1814, assisted by Spanish guerrilla ('little war') tactics.",
"Anglo-Portuguese forces under Arthur Wellesley supported the Spanish, which campaigned successfully against the French armies, eventually driving them from Spain, thus allowing Britain to invade southern France.",
"By 1815, the British Army played the central role in the final defeat of Napoleon at Waterloo.",
"In 1802, Napoleon victoriously brought to an end the War of the Second Coalition, with only Great Britain remaining formally at war.",
"Isolated, Britain reluctantly agreed to end hostilities under the Treaty of Amiens (25 March 1802).",
"Bonaparte tried to exploit the brief peace at sea to restore French colonial rule in Haiti.",
"The expedition, though initially successful, would soon turn to a disaster, with the French commander Charles Leclerc, dying of yellow fever and almost his entire force destroyed by the disease.",
"Napoleon gave up his New World dreams and sold Louisiana to the United States in 1803.",
"Great Britain violated the terms of the Treaty of Amiens by occupying Malta and gathered a Third Coalition against France.",
"The French intervention in the Swiss civil strife, a breach of the Treaty of Lunéville (1801) between France and the Holy Roman Empire which guaranteed Swiss sovereignty, was taken as a pretext by the British to break the peace of Amiens and declare war on France on 18 May 1803.",
"The Coalition's war aims changed over the course of the conflict: a general desire to restore the French monarchy became closely linked to the struggle to stop Bonaparte.",
"Beyond minor naval actions against British imperial interests, the Napoleonic Wars were much less global in scope than preceding conflicts such as Seven Years' War, which historians term a \"world war\"."

"Following the scale model creation, a crew of over 30 people, including Crowley and engineers Chris Culvert and Annie Smith, carved a full-size replica of the Tumbler out of a large block of Styrofoam in two months.",
"The Styrofoam model was used to create a steel \"test frame\", which had to stand up to several standards: have a speed of over , go from 0 to in 5 seconds, possess a steering system to make sharp turns at city corners, and withstand a self-propelled launch of up to .",
"On the first jump test, the Tumbler's front end collapsed and had to be completely rebuilt.",
"The basic configuration of the newly designed Tumbler included a 5.7-liter Chevy V8 engine, a truck axle for the rear axle, front tires by Hoosier (which are actually dirt racing tires used on the right rear of open wheel sprint cars), 4 rear 44/18.5-16.5 Interco Super Swamper TSL tires (44\" tall, 18.5\" wide, mounted on a 16.5\" wheel) and the suspension system of Baja racing trucks.",
"The design and development process took nine months and cost several million dollars.",

"Two of the four cars were specialized versions.",
"One version was the flap version, which had hydraulics and flaps to detail the close-up shots where the vehicle propelled itself through the air.",
"The other version was the jet version, in which an actual jet engine was mounted onto the vehicle, fueled by six propane tanks.",
"The visibility inside the vehicle was poor, so monitors were connected to cameras on the vehicle body.",
"The professional drivers for the Tumblers practiced driving the vehicles for six months before they drove on the streets of Chicago for the film's scenes.",
"The interior of the Tumbler was an immobile studio set and not actually the interior of a street-capable Tumbler.",
"The cockpit was over-sized to fit cameras for scenes filmed in the Tumbler interior.",
"In addition, another version of the Tumbler was a miniature model that was 1:6 scale of the actual Tumbler.",
"This miniature model had an electric motor and was used to show the Tumbler flying across ravines and between buildings.",

"The centrifuge process was regarded as the only promising separation method in April 1942.",
"Jesse Beams had developed such a process at the University of Virginia during the 1930s, but had encountered technical difficulties.",
"The process required high rotational speeds, but at certain speeds harmonic vibrations developed that threatened to tear the machinery apart.",
"It was therefore necessary to accelerate quickly through these speeds.",
"In 1941 he began working with uranium hexafluoride, the only known gaseous compound of uranium, and was able to separate uranium-235.",
"At Columbia, Urey had Cohen investigate the process, and he produced a body of mathematical theory making it possible to design a centrifugal separation unit, which Westinghouse undertook to construct.",
"Scaling this up to a production plant presented a formidable technical challenge.",
"Urey and Cohen estimated that producing a kilogram (2.2 lb) of uranium-235 per day would require up to 50,000 centrifuges with rotors, or 10,000 centrifuges with rotors, assuming that 4-meter rotors could be built.",
"The prospect of keeping so many rotors operating continuously at high speed appeared daunting, and when Beams ran his experimental apparatus, he obtained only 60% of the predicted yield, indicating that more centrifuges would be required.",
"Beams, Urey and Cohen then began work on a series of improvements which promised to increase the efficiency of the process.",
"However, frequent failures of motors, shafts and bearings at high speeds delayed work on the pilot plant.",
"In November 1942 the centrifuge process was abandoned by the Military Policy Committee following a recommendation by Conant, Nichols and August C. Klein of Stone & Webster."

"He negotiated with Eldorado Gold Mines for the purchase of ore from its mine in Port Hope, Ontario, and its shipment in 100-ton lots.",
"The Canadian government subsequently bought up the company's stock until it acquired a controlling interest.",
"While these purchases assured a sufficient supply to meet wartime needs, the American and British leaders concluded that it was in their countries' interest to gain control of as much of the world's uranium deposits as possible.",
"The richest source of ore was the Shinkolobwe mine in the Belgian Congo, but it was flooded and closed.",
"Nichols unsuccessfully attempted to negotiate its reopening and the sale of the entire future output to the United States with Edgar Sengier, the director of the company that owned the mine, Union Minière du Haut Katanga.",
"The matter was then taken up by the Combined Policy Committee.",
"As 30 percent of Union Minière's stock was controlled by British interests, the British took the lead in negotiations.",
"Sir John Anderson and Ambassador John Winant hammered out a deal with Sengier and the Belgian government in May 1944 for the mine to be reopened and of ore to be purchased at $1.45 a pound.",
"To avoid dependence on the British and Canadians for ore, Groves also arranged for the purchase of US Vanadium Corporation's stockpile in Uravan, Colorado.",
"Uranium mining in Colorado yielded about of ore. Mallinckrodt Incorporated in St. Louis, Missouri, took the raw ore and dissolved it in nitric acid to produce uranyl nitrate.",
"Ether was then added in a liquid–liquid extraction process to separate the impurities from the uranyl nitrate.",
"This was then heated to form uranium trioxide, which was reduced to highly pure uranium dioxide.",
"By July 1942, Mallinckrodt was producing a ton of highly pure oxide a day, but turning this into uranium metal initially proved more difficult for contractors Westinghouse and Metal Hydrides.",
"Production was too slow and quality was unacceptably low.",
"A special branch of the Metallurgical Laboratory was established at Iowa State College in Ames, Iowa, under Frank Spedding to investigate alternatives, and its Ames process became available in 1943."

Beginnings as a sculptor | When did the Royal College of Art in London grant Moore a scholarship? | Henry Moore | true | 3ART

"After the war Moore received an ex-serviceman's grant to continue his education and in 1919 he became a student at the Leeds School of Art (now Leeds College of Art), which set up a sculpture studio especially for him.",
"At the college, he met Barbara Hepworth, a fellow student who would also become a well-known British sculptor, and began a friendship and gentle professional rivalry that lasted for many years.",
"In Leeds, Moore also had access to the modernist works in the collection of Sir Michael Sadler, the University Vice-Chancellor, which had a pronounced effect on his development.",
"In 1921, Moore won a scholarship to study at the Royal College of Art in London, along with Hepworth and other Yorkshire contemporaries.",
"While in London, Moore extended his knowledge of primitive art and sculpture, studying the ethnographic collections at the Victoria and Albert Museum and the British Museum.",
"The student sculptures of both Moore and Hepworth followed the standard romantic Victorian style, and included natural forms, landscapes and figurative modelling of animals.",
"Moore later became uncomfortable with classically derived ideals; his later familiarity with primitivism and the influence of sculptors such as Constantin Brâncuși, Jacob Epstein, Henri Gaudier-Brzeska and Frank Dobson led him to the method of direct carving, in which imperfections in the material and marks left by tools became part of the finished sculpture.",
"Having adopted this technique, Moore was in conflict with academic tutors who did not appreciate such a modern approach.",
"During one exercise set by Derwent Wood (the professor of sculpture at the Royal College), Moore was asked to reproduce a marble relief of Domenico Rosselli's \"The Virgin and Child\" by first modelling the relief in plaster, then reproducing it in marble using the mechanical technique of \"pointing\".",
"Instead, he carved the relief directly, even marking the surface to simulate the prick marks that would have been left by the pointing machine.",
"In 1924, Moore won a six-month travelling scholarship which he spent in Northern Italy studying the great works of Michelangelo, Giotto di Bondone, Giovanni Pisano and several other Old Masters.",
"During this period he also visited Paris, took advantage of the timed-sketching classes at the Académie Colarossi, and viewed, in the Trocadero, a plaster cast of a Toltec-Maya sculptural form, the Chac Mool, previously seen in book illustrations.",
"The reclining figure was to have a profound effect upon Moore's work, becoming the primary motif of his sculpture."

"This may be the first instance of Rembrandt signing a painting with his forename (in its original form) as opposed to the monogramme \"RHL\" (Rembrant Harmenszoon of Leiden), and is thus a sign of his growing artistic confidence.",
"The event can be dated to 16 January 1632: the Amsterdam Guild of Surgeons, of which Tulp was official City Anatomist, permitted only one public dissection a year, and the body would have to be that of an executed criminal.",
"Anatomy lessons were a social event in the 17th century, taking place in lecture rooms that were actual theatres, with students, colleagues and the general public being permitted to attend on payment of an entrance fee.",

"Medical specialists have commented on the accuracy of muscles and tendons painted by the 26-year-old Rembrandt.",

"The demand for consistency between a quantum description of matter and a geometric description of spacetime, as well as the appearance of singularities (where curvature length scales become microscopic), indicate the need for a full theory of quantum gravity: for an adequate description of the interior of black holes, and of the very early universe, a theory is required in which gravity and the associated geometry of spacetime are described in the language of quantum physics.",
"Despite major efforts, no complete and consistent theory of quantum gravity is currently known, even though a number of promising candidates exist.",
"Attempts to generalize ordinary quantum field theories, used in elementary particle physics to describe fundamental interactions, so as to include gravity have led to serious problems.",
"At low energies, this approach proves successful, in that it results in an acceptable effective (quantum) field theory of gravity.",
"At very high energies, however, the result are models devoid of all predictive power (\"non-renormalizability\").",
"One attempt to overcome these limitations is string theory, a quantum theory not of point particles, but of minute one-dimensional extended objects.",
"The theory promises to be a unified description of all particles and interactions, including gravity; the price to pay is unusual features such as six extra dimensions of space in addition to the usual three.",
"In what is called the second superstring revolution, it was conjectured that both string theory and a unification of general relativity and supersymmetry known as supergravity form part of a hypothesized eleven-dimensional model known as M-theory, which would constitute a uniquely defined and consistent theory of quantum gravity.",
"Another approach starts with the canonical quantization procedures of quantum theory.",
"Using the initial-value-formulation of general relativity (cf.",
"evolution equations above), the result is the Wheeler–deWitt equation (an analogue of the Schrödinger equation) which, regrettably, turns out to be ill-defined.",
"However, with the introduction of what are now known as Ashtekar variables, this leads to a promising model known as loop quantum gravity.",
"Space is represented by a web-like structure called a spin network, evolving over time in discrete steps.",
"Depending on which features of general relativity and quantum theory are accepted unchanged, and on what level changes are introduced, there are numerous other attempts to arrive at a viable theory of quantum gravity, some examples being dynamical triangulations, causal sets, twistor models or the path-integral based models of quantum cosmology.",
"All candidate theories still have major formal and conceptual problems to overcome.",
"They also face the common problem that, as yet, there is no way to put quantum gravity predictions to experimental tests (and thus to decide between the candidates where their predictions vary), although there is hope for this to change as future data from cosmological observations and particle physics experiments becomes available."

"The High Renaissance was traditionally viewed as a great explosion of creative genius, following a model of art history first proposed by the Florentine Giorgio Vasari.",
"Even relatively minor painters of the period, such as Fra Bartolomeo and Mariotto Albertinelli, produced works that are still lauded for the harmony of their design and their technique.",
"The elongated proportions and exaggerated poses in the late works of Michelangelo, Andrea del Sarto and Correggio prefigure so-called Mannerism, as the style of the later Renaissance is referred to in art history.",
"The serene mood and luminous colours of paintings by Giorgione and early Titian exemplify High Renaissance style as practiced in Venice.",
"Other recognizable pieces of this period include Leonardo da Vinci's \"Mona Lisa\" and Raphael's \"The School of Athens\".",
"Raphael's fresco, set beneath an arch, is a virtuoso work of perspective, composition and \"disegno\"."

"There were also some modifications in the \"appartement du roi\", namely the construction of the \"Salon de l'Œil de Bœuf\" and the King's Bedchamber.",
"With the completion of the chapel in 1710, virtually all construction at Versailles ceased; building would not be resumed at Versailles until some twenty one years later during the reign of Louis XV (Nolhac, 1911; Marie, 1976, 1984; Verlet, 1985)."

"These fins are not as active when the wakeboard is riding flat through the water, but the more the rider leans on edge, the more the wakeboard hooks up.",
"The inside fin digs while the outside lifts, creating leverage to help the wakeboard edge hard.",
"Great for 50-50 grinds, nose presses and tail presses.",
"Cupped side finsThey have the same effect as canted fins but add more of a push-pull effect.",
"The cupped fin allows for the use of a smaller fin but still gets the hold of a bigger fin due to the increased surface area of the cupped side of the fin.",
"These fins are very deceiving – they look small and loose but really aren’t.",
"No FinsSome riders prefer to ride finless, as some boards are specifically designed for cable parks or other uses, some uses of which can benefit from a finless design."

"The first known auxin, indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), which promotes cell growth, was only isolated from plants about 50 years later.",
"This compound mediates the tropic responses of shoots and roots towards light and gravity.",
"The finding in 1939 that plant callus could be maintained in culture containing IAA, followed by the observation in 1947 that it could be induced to form roots and shoots by controlling the concentration of growth hormones were key steps in the development of plant biotechnology and genetic modification.",
"Another class of phytohormones is the jasmonates, first isolated from the oil of \"Jasminum grandiflorum\" which regulates wound responses in plants by unblocking the expression of genes required in the systemic acquired resistance response to pathogen attack.",

"Both German and Soviet casualties during the battle of Moscow have been a subject of debate, as various sources provide somewhat different estimates.",
"Not all historians agree on what should be considered the \"Battle of Moscow\" in the timeline of World War II.",
"While the start of the battle is usually regarded as the beginning of Operation \"Typhoon\" on 30 September 1941 (or sometimes on 2 October 1941), there are two different dates for the end of the offensive.",
"In particular, some sources (such as Erickson and Glantz) exclude the Rzhev offensive from the scope of the battle, considering it as a distinct operation and making the Moscow offensive \"stop\" on 7 January 1942—thus lowering the number of casualties.",
"Other historians, who include the Rzhev and Vyazma operations in the scope of the battle (thus making the battle end in May 1942), give higher casualty numbers.",
"There are also significant differences in figures from various sources.",
"John Erickson, in his \"Barbarossa: The Axis and the Allies\", gives a figure of 653,924 Soviet casualties between October 1941 and January 1942.",
"Glantz, in his book \"When Titans Clashed\", gives a figure of 658,279 for the defense phase alone, plus 370,955 for the winter counteroffensive until 7 January 1942.",
"The estimate of 400,000 German casualties by January 1942 reported in the \"Great Soviet Encyclopedia\", published in 1973–1978, is clearly inflated.",
"A much more accurate estimate is provided in the \"Moscow Encyclopedia\", published in 1997; its authors, based on various sources, give a figure of 145,000 German and 900,000 Soviet casualties for the defensive phase, along with 103,000 German and 380,000 Soviet casualties for the counteroffensive until 7 January 1942.",
"Many of the Soviet casualties, however, consisted of captured men.",
"On the other hand, Wehrmacht daily casualty reports show 35,757 killed in action, 128,716 wounded, and 9,721 missing in action for the entire Army Group Center between 1 October 1941 and 10 January 1942.",
"Therefore, total casualties between 30 September 1941, and 7 January 1942, are estimated to be between 174,000 and 248,000 for the \"Wehrmacht\" (Wehrmacht reports / Moscow encyclopedia estimate) and between 650,000 and 1,280,000 for the Red Army (Erickson / Moscow encyclopedia estimate).",

"The periodic table and a natural number for each element.",
"Loosely speaking, the existence or construction of a periodic table of elements creates an ordering of the elements, and so they can be numbered in order.",
"Dmitri Mendeleev claimed that he arranged his first periodic tables in order of atomic weight (\"Atomgewicht\").",
"However, in consideration of the elements' observed chemical properties, he changed the order slightly and placed tellurium (atomic weight 127.6) ahead of iodine (atomic weight 126.9).",
"This placement is consistent with the modern practice of ordering the elements by proton number, \"Z\", but that number was not known or suspected at the time.",
"A simple numbering based on periodic table position was never entirely satisfactory, however.",
"Besides the case of iodine and tellurium, later several other pairs of elements (such as argon and potassium, cobalt and nickel) were known to have nearly identical or reversed atomic weights, thus requiring their placement in the periodic table to be determined by their chemical properties.",
"However the gradual identification of more and more chemically similar lanthanide elements, whoise atomic number was not obvious, led to inconsistency and uncertainty in the periodic numbering of elements at least from lutetium (element 71) onwards (hafnium was not known at this time).",

Terminology | What country considers avocado a fruit? | Vegetable | true | 9FOOD

"There are at least four definitions relating to fruits and vegetables: ",
"Fruit (botany): the ovary of a flowering plant (sometimes including accessory structures), ",
"Fruit (culinary): any edible part of a plant with a sweet flavor, ",
"Vegetable (culinary): any edible part of a plant with a savory flavor.",
"Vegetable (legal): commodities that are taxed as vegetables in a particular jurisdiction ",
"In everyday, grocery-store, culinary language, the words \"fruit\" and \"vegetable\" are mutually exclusive ; plant products that are called fruit are hardly ever classified as vegetables, and vice-versa.",
"The word \"fruit\" has a precise botanical meaning (a part that developed from the ovary of a flowering plant), which is considerably different from its culinary meaning, and includes many poisonous fruits.",
"While peaches, plums, and oranges are \"fruit\" in both senses, many items commonly called \"vegetables\" — such as eggplants, bell peppers, and tomatoes — are botanically fruits, while the cereals (grains) are both a fruit and a vegetable, as well as some spices like black pepper and chili peppers.",
"The question of whether the tomato is a fruit or a vegetable found its way into the United States Supreme Court in 1893.",
"The court ruled unanimously in \"Nix v. Hedden\" that a tomato is correctly identified as, and thus taxed as, a vegetable, for the purposes of the Tariff of 1883 on imported produce.",
"The court did acknowledge, however, that, botanically speaking, a tomato is a fruit.",
"Languages other than English often have categories that can be identified with the common English meanings of \"fruit\" and \"vegetable\", but their precise meaning often depends on local culinary traditions.",
"For example, in Brazil the avocado is traditionally consumed with sugar as a dessert or in milkshakes, and hence it is regarded as a culinary fruit; whereas in other countries (including Mexico and the United States) it is used in salads and dips, and hence considered to be a vegetable."
