Coconut Tree Climbing – Samoan Style! climbing-feet Securely tie a piece of strong cloth and loop it around your ankles. When complete, flatten the strip against the coconut palm, with both feet on opposite sides of the tree trunk. Now, with the base of your feet grip the sides of the tree, the cloth will press against the tree as well. This helps keep your feet stable, and gives you more leverage to push yourself up the tree. Climbing can hurt if you’re not used to going barefoot, but your skin will toughen up with practice. Grip the tree between your hands. Your arms must be strong enough to hold your weight, so you are leaning into the tree instead of dangling away from it. Your hands need to be opposite of each other, so you can squeeze the trunk. Place your feet against the sides of the tree. Hop onto the base of the tree, gripping it with your legs. Turn your feet inward, so the undersides of your feet press against the left and right sides of the trunk. Your legs will be bent and splayed outward, like a frog’s. Push yourself up with your feet. Extend your legs without moving your feet or hands. This will bring you up straight, a little higher than before. Bring your feet up. Quickly bring both feet up at the same time, gripping a spot higher up the tree. To keep yourself stable, press hard with both hands. If your arms are strong, you can lift your feet completely off the trunk and position them again at a higher point. Otherwise, slide your feet up the side of the trunk, or push them up one at a time in small steps. This requires less muscle, but can be painful on soft feet. Keep your feet on opposite sides of the tree, so the loop doesn’t fall off your feet. Now you’re back in your starting position. Extend your legs to lift yourself higher and REPEAT. Once you’re up to the top, you can pick the coconut by twisting the stem of the coconut repeatedly until it breaks. But if you’re like my coconut tree cutter, chop of the coconuts with a machete. It’s so much easier and faster. Source: www.polynesia.com/blog/coconut-tree-climbing-samoan-style

The two most common harvesting methods are the climbing method and the pole method. Climbing is the most widespread, but it is also more dangerous and requires skilled workers.[79] Manually climbing trees is traditional in most countries and requires a specific posture that exerts pressure on the trunk with the feet. Climbers employed in coconut plantations often develop musculoskeletal disorders and risk severe injury or death from falling.[8 Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coconut

Francisco "Pancho" Villa (June 5, 1877 – July 23, 1923), famed Mexican revolutionary and guerrilla leader.

A cropped version of this image is used on the cover of A & E's Biography DVD, Pancho Villa: Outlaw Hero.

Notice that he signed this like a promotional picture. Not surprising, since he was quite media-savvy for his day, having starred as himself in a movie which helped propel him into legend.

Même tenue que la photo avec Braniff, Orozco et Garibaldi. Peut-être prise devant le poste de douane à Juarez après que Orozco y ait déplacé le siège du gouvernement provisoire. mai 1911 ...... même si cette photo est attribué à "Topical Press Agency" et datée : "Monday December 1st, 1913" sur site JAMD.com (search pancho villa).
