The coconut (Cocos nucifera) is a member of the palm tree family, Arecaceae. Originally native to the Central Indo-Pacific, in the regions of Maritime Southeast Asia and Melanesia, coconuts are now found across the world due to human cultivation and dispersal. They are normally cultivated in hot and wet tropical climates. The term coconut also commonly refers to the seed and fruit of the coconut tree, which is botanically a drupe. The fruit has three layers including an edible white, fleshy endosperm and is filled with a liquid known as coconut water. The coconut thus played a critical role in the migration of Austronesian peoples across the Indian Ocean, as it provided a portable source of both food and water for long sea voyages. In modern times coconuts are used extensively in cooking and cuisine, using the raw flesh, the water or in alternative forms such as coconut milk and coconut butter. These coconuts, one whole and one halved, were grown in the Dominican Republic; this photograph was focus-stacked from 19 separate images.Photograph credit: Ivar Leidus
My main goal was to clean up the Film noir pages of Wikipedia, which I found bare when I first started editing. After a few bumpy moments learning how to write correctly for Wiki, I've updated and added many pages.
I'm most proud of pages that I've started that have gone on to become very good (after other people added to them)
They include:
- Lizabeth Scott
- Claire Trevor (didn't start that but added greatly to it)
- and Howard Da Silva
I continue to add movies and actors from the 40's and 50's but I would like to see more people jump in and expand on them.
