Online driver forums like UberPeople.net are blowing up this week with complaints that Uber is forcing drivers in New York that previously signed up for its premium Uber Black and Uber SUV services, to receive (and potentially accept) requests from riders on its economy UberX and UberXL tiers.
Cassava is a perennial plant with conspicuous, almost palmate (fan-shaped) leaves resembling those of the related castor-oil plant but more deeply parted into five to nine lobes. The fleshy roots are reminiscent of dahlia tubers. Different varieties range from low herbs to branching shrubs and slender unbranched trees.
Tapioca is the starch extracted from the cassava root. The cassava plant is native to Brazil, where it is known as mandioca and its starch is referred to as tapioca. Cultivation of the cassava plant has spread throughout South America and Africa, while culinary use of tapioca has become popular throughout the world.
