Retired, and recovering, lawyer coming back to online forums. I've been here before, and have many friends who are deeply involved in the Wiki world; it can be used for much good, it can be used for much bad. I only want to do good.
My interests are mainly in the areas of corporate mergers and acquisitions, and leaders in business and politics, trying to keep them honest! But, I love to just browse too. I look at geopolitical, and market trends. I examine mainly publicly traded companies where strong "buy" or "sell" suggestions have been made by the "experts", and I examine the experts as well. I will swiftly, but politely, delete anything that is not supported by sources, that appears to be used to "pump" stock (even without dump intent), or that seems irrelevant to issues or articles. I don't tolerate vandalism, or people who seem to have an axe to grind against companies or other people.
Feel free to leave a message on my talk page here with any comments or questions.
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
