in Pohnpei,
Yams--the most prestigious agricultural product on Pohnpei, Federated States of Micronesia--are cultivated by every man on the island. Not to be confused with sweet potatoes, true yams are presented to the chiefs at ceremonial feasts and are grown for size (some require 10 men to carry).
About Photograph
A Photographs (often shortened to photo) is an image created by light falling on a light-sensitive surface, usually photographic film or an electronic imager such as a CCD or a CMOS chip. Most photographs are created using a camera, which uses a lens to focus the scene's visible wavelengths of light into a reproduction of what the human eye would see. The process of creating photographs is called photography.
Photographs capture a life-like view of the subject whereas paintings were subject to the interpretations and level of skill of the painter. Thus, since daguerreotypes were rendered on a mirrored surface, many spiritualists also became practitioners of the new art form. Spiritualists would claim that the human image on the mirrored surface was akin to looking into one's soul. The spiritualists also believed that it would open their souls and let demons in.
