In the spring of 1973 I hiked the Appalachian Trail. A short segment of it, that is.
Okay, I barely touched the doorstep.
What started out with great ambition devolved into misadventure.
I was telling my wife about it the other day. We were out for our long morning walk, our favorite leg of it, up the mile or so of Echo Road. It's one of the few dirt roads in the area. It promises scenic views, occasional wildlife, lots of nature. Dirt, grass, weeds, bushes and trees, vines. Embedded in the natural world like this, I am always keenly aware of how little flora and fauna I know, and the limits of my control of the nomenclature. Dirt, grass, weeds, bushes and trees, vines. That's about all I got.
"What vines do you think these are?" I said. I pointed to a cottonwood tree (that's one I can name) by the side of the road, a tangle of vines in full leaf clinging to the bark and winding up the tree, skyward.
"I don't know," she said. Up the road, a couple walkers were coming at us. She shouldered me toward the side of the road. We were social distancing in the almost wild.
"Ivy, do you think?"
She told me stop and take a picture. I could look it up when I got home.
"Ivy," I said, aiming my phone at the tree and vines, "always reminds me of James Joyce, Portrait of an Artist and the whining ivy."
I tried to remember: Was that a joke? That's not exactly a funny book. When I got home, I looked up whining ivy and Stephen Dedalus. "The ivy whines upon the wall, And whines and twines upon the wall. The yellow ivy upon the wall, Ivy, ivy up the wall." That was that. Then, this comment came next, which I did not remember: "Did anyone ever hear such drivel? Lord Almighty! Who ever heard of ivy whining on a wall?"
Ridiculous. Exactly.
There are no walls on Echo Road. So it's probably not ivy whining and twining up the trees.
"I don't think it's ivy," my wife said.
The walkers, two women in colorful shoes, hugging the opposite shoulder, waved as they walked briskly past us, each holding a 20 ounce water bottle.
Three of us planned the hike for spring break, me and my two pals Joe Lewandowski and Dennis Zulupski. Lew and Zu. We would do 5-6 nights in Smoky Mountain National Park. I saw myself hiking the trails, at one with nature, humming Bob Denver songs. My main concern was would we get there before the bears woke up.
"Do you have gear?" Zu asked me. We were drinking beer one evening at a place called Hungry Charley's. A month before leaving, we were seriously planning the trip. Seriously. This was pre-Internet time. We knew there was a park down in the Smokeys. We'd seen pictures. We'd seen "Deliverance." Maybe Zu had done some research, at a travel agency (I doubt it) or in a library (I doubt it).
"Do you think there will be bears?"
"There shouldn't be bears," he said. "They don't bother you, anyway. Do you have gear?"
"How do we get there?" Lew said.
Zu topped off our glasses of beer. "Gatlinburg. It's practically a straight shot from here."
"Yes, a sleeping bag," I said. And from my boyscout days, I had an old canvas pup tent. I was going to need a backpack.
"We can go to The Army Surplus store together," Lew said, "and gear up."
We talked about provisions, who was going to bring what food, insect repellent, snake bite kit, toilet paper, and other essentials. A whistle, in case of bears.
In addition to nature (dirt, grass, weeds, etc.), the nice thing about Echo Road is the hills. There are a total of two: one hill down, at the lowest point of which is a pond that fills up with run-off in the Spring months. As the days warm, the pond shrinks and thickens into a shallow greenish custard. And a second hill back up, to a main road with sidewalk. Twice we've seen a long-legged bird called a heron (that's one I can name) standing in the pond, wading in the thick green gick.
The hills, I think, may dissuade some walkers and runners, leaving Echo Road mostly to ourselves at 6:30 a.m. On the south end I have two favorite spots where I stop to pee. Once we were surprised by a runner, just as I was finishing.
My wife waved and made apologetic gestures in the direction of the runner, a guy. I have no doubt he understood.
"You really ought to go before we leave," she said to me.
"And forego the pleasure of a nature pee?"
"You can catch up with me." She huffed. I heard her take off walking down the road. Her huff was unmistakable.
"Do you think there's poison ivy in here?" I yelled over my shoulder. "Do you know what poison ivy looks like?"
At the Army Surplus store Lew and I shopped for backpacks. Zu, who had experience in these matters and had become our unofficial leader, said to look for a pack with a frame. The one we each bought was made of canvas, supported by an aluminum frame that looked like it could double as a coat hanger. The pack opened at the top. There was a draw string to hold the top shut and a flap that fastened down the back of the pack with a couple small brown belts.
"I'll tie my tent to the top of the pack," I said to Lew as we left the store. "And my sleeping bag to the bottom."
"This is going to be so great," he said. He said he'd never been out of the state before.
I asked him if he had any rope.
We drove away from campus around 10 p.m. on the Friday classes ended for Spring break. It was eight hours to the park, which meant, with a little luck, we would be on the trail by 8:00 a.m. and enjoy our first full day of hiking.
The next morning, outside of Knoxville, at the edge of the park, we registered at the visitors center (elevation 1462 feet), indicating we would be on the trail 3-5 days. We looked at a trail map–I think for the very first time–and selected the trail to Clingman's Dome. The Dome would be our first destination. We could camp up there that night, maybe set up a new camp each of the next 3-4 nights.
A light rain had begun to fall.
The hike up to Clingman's Dome (elevation 6644 feet), the highest point in Tennessee, was the longest hike in the park, about 14 miles. Somehow it seemed like a good idea. We collected our gear and locked the car. Lew's Army Surplus pack hung on his back. He and I were carrying the canned goods. He leaned forward, adjusting his load, smiled and reached into his jacket pocket for a pack of Redman tobacco. He held it out to Zu, then me. "Chew?"
I shrugged my backpack on and looked, really looked at Zu's pack for the first time. Mine was army green, and felt like an extra large grocery bag hanging on my shoulders. The metal rack, now that the pack was fully loaded, seemed more ornamental than structural. Rain water was beading up on the canvas and on my tent tied to the top of the pack. Zu's pack was rugged blue nylon, with a light frame twice the size of mine from his hips to his shoulders. The pack had a belt he fastened around his waist, zipper pockets up and down the sides. From one of the little rings attached to the frame hung a compass; from another a Swiss Army knife.
A couple hours into the hike, the rain picked up. An hour later, it rained harder. Low clouds settled on the trees along the trail, obscuring our view of anything but the path 25 yards ahead of us.
When we stopped for lunch, Lew opened his pack to take out a couple sandwiches his mother had made for us. He found his load had shifted. A full size tube of toothpaste he'd packed had broken open. There was Crest everywhere in his pack.
"Why don't we wait on lunch," Zu said. He pulled the hood on his pancho over his hat. Lew and I adjusted our garbage bags that doubled as rain gear.
"The sooner we get there," Lew said, "the sooner we can dry out."
Dry out. I had been thinking about that prospect. "I'll take that chew now," I said.
We walked, mostly uphill.
Behind me, tied to the bottom of my pack, my old cloth sleeping bag, also wrapped in a garbage bag, swung with each step I took. It was heavy. I felt like I was carrying a sandbag. I don't know what possessed me to buy such a cheap backpack. I also don't know what possessed me to chew tobacco that day. I kept a plug of it in my cheek, leaning to the side of the trail to spit when I had to, which was often. Lew was a baseball player, a catcher. He hadn't made the line-up on the college team, but he had perfected projectile spitting. Try as I might, I couldn't keep tobacco juice from leaking down my throat.
Around 6:00 that night we reached Clingman's Dome. The trail emptied into a parking lot. We were wet. We'd walked all day on no sleep and no lunch. At least one of us had a belly rotten with tobacco juice. At the edge of the trail, the park's trail map was posted on a rustic sign. We looked. Where was the campground? Good God, did we have to walk further, and then set up camp? It was still raining.
Ignominious defeat. There's no other term for it.
We hitched a ride with a guy in a blue van down to the visitors lot where we'd left the car, loaded our stuff into the trunk, and drove 45 minutes back to Gatlinburg. There were lots of hotels. In the cheap room we rented, Zu lit his one-burner camper's cook stove and reanimated some freeze-dried beef Stroganoff. I don't remember the hotel's name. It should have been Nice Try, Suckers. Elevation, way below self respect.
"Water," I said to my wife. "Everyone brings water along when they go for a walk. Can't they go an hour or two without a drink of water?"
"You're cranky this morning," she said.
We were on the uphill part of Echo Road. No heron this morning. But a lot of bug life was getting in my hair.
"We've got all that bottled water in the garage," I said. Eight ounce plastic bottles we'd bought when guys came to work on the house. They didn't drink it.
"It's no good," she said. "You're not supposed to drink old water in a plastic bottle. Especially after it's been sitting in a hot garage."
I knew that. But still. "What'll we do with it?"
"I don't know."
"I hate to waste it."
"Water plants with it," she said.
I couldn't think of anything more wrong, twisting caps off Costco water bottles and emptying them over the geraniums. It was something one would want to do at night. The only thing worse was pouring the water down the drain.
"What about boiling it?" I said. "Can we make it safe by boiling it?"
Next morning, over a big Gatlinburg breakfast, we decided to think smaller. Less would become more. We'd pitch a camp somewhere out there, preferably next to a rushing stream, make that our base of operations, and take day hikes.
There was nothing wrong with the rushing stream we found. Another gap in our preparation, however, had become apparent.
There's a product called "Clever Hiker, Chlorine Dioxide Drops and Pills." You use it to purify water in the wild. Bugs like cryptosporidium will send you into the bushes with diarrhea, abdominal pains, nausea and gas and dehydration.
We forgot all about the Clever Hiker.
There's also a device called the Katadyn Ultra. It will purify about 5 days of water for 2 people (50+ liters). It has a rechargeable internal battery.
We didn't have one of those.
We also didn't have the Platypus GravityWorks. You fill up a "dirty" water bag, let's say the water we might have harvested from our rushing stream, hang it above the "clean" bag, and gravity does the rest. You can choose between the two liter system and two liter bottle kit.
What we had were puny little canteens we had to refill by walking two miles every day back to the parking lot.
We stayed two nights out there. On day hikes experienced campers went flying past us on the trails, toting tents, sleeping bags, food and shelter that weighed half of what our Surplus packs weighed.
I grew to hate beef Stroganhoff. There was also a freeze dried shrimp dish. An abomination.
Two nights I crawled into my damp cloth sleeping bag, sore from the day's hike, and thought about food. I didn't whine, but I most certainly silently pined, dreaming of greasy fries and a Reuben sandwich and mugs of beer at Hungry Charleys.
When we woke up after second night, we packed up our base of operations and hiked back to the parking lot water faucet. We enjoyed long draughts of cool water, stowed our junk in the trunk, and headed for Knoxville. First hamburgers. Then Nashville. Then home.
"Stuffed grape leaves," my wife said.
I'd taken a picture of the whiny ivy.
"You see the Chaldean women clipping leaves from vines at the side of the roads. For stuffed grape leaves. I think that's the leaf. That's the vine."
She was right.
Vitis riparia (wild grapevine), not to be confused with menispermum canadense (common moonseed), which is poisonous. It pleased me to think of those women, usually older, usually dressed all in black, foraging by the side of the road, knowing the difference between food and poison, at one with nature for a short time.
Smokies 1973, I was less than one. Still am.
Wandering around online that morning, I stumble upon an article in New York Magazine, in a section of the magazine called "The Strategist." According to "An Absolute Beginner's Guide to Camping, According to Camping Experts," people this summer are "exploring less-trafficked parts of the great outdoors." Camping is in.
One of the experts, Karen Bor, who has a website called "Barefoot Theory,"states the obvious: "You're going to have more fun if you're prepared."

The health officials in Florida have declared that there four individuals in the state that have been detected with Zika virus infection. This disease was caused by the biting of the local mosquito.
Zika is a viral infection that is spread by the biting of an infected mosquito. The cases that have been found so far are the first cases in the country and are a thing of concern. Though the prevalence of Zika is not as much as it was seen in the other countries but still it becomes mandatory that all precautions be taken so that it does not become that big a threat.
Zika is a very significant threat to the human kind because it can be transmitted not only through Aedes Aegypti and Aedes Albopictus mosquito bite but also through sexual intercourse, from mother to an unborn child, lab exposure and even if the infected blood is transfused to the healthy individual.
The major risk is for the pregnant women. The unborn baby can get infected and be stillborn or born with a defect such as microcephaly. No mosquito born disease has ever been such a big threat to the humankind and especially to the unborn children.

As technology has changed, the old concept of who a man is or how his life runs in the rustic lifestyle has simply disappeared. Now everything is prepared and you do not have to worry about anything. Everything is clearly available.
From the dress you use to the food you eat, everything comes from far away, from the place you've never seen. When it comes to interior design, it's all about the beautiful things from Italy and Germany, nothing comes from where you belong. Although all this will give you fame and a hole in your pocket, it may be beneficial to think about the rustic home decor for interiors.
Advantages of the rustic lifestyle
It may not be possible to trace everything back to the age-old, rustic lifestyle, but you can do something. Adding rustic home decor to your interior is one such change that can bring you back to basic life and bring you benefits in many ways. Here are some of the many benefits of making your home rustic.
- The budget: - If you furnish your home with rustic decors, you never want you to have a big bag. Rustic decors are comparatively cheap
- Peace of mind: - What a larger percentage of today's urban population wants is to flee to a place where they have enough peace of mind. A rustic interior takes you back to the classic stage and gives you a feeling similar to life in the forest.

For more than 35 years MeatOut Day (March 20) has been proclaimed in cities, counties and states across the United States. Want to help spread the word? This page will help you reach out to your local officials (get started now) to proclaim MeatOut Day in your hometown.
Request MeatOut Proclamations From Your Local Changemakers
What is a proclamation?
A proclamation (also called a resolution in some localities) is an official document issued by Governors, Mayors, or other Elected Officials to commemorate a specific time period (day, week, or month) for the purpose of raising awareness of an issue or celebrating milestones. For MeatOut's 37th anniversary, our goal is to secure as many proclamations as possible commemorating MeatOut (March 20, 2022), and you can help.
How to Request a Proclamation:
A proclamation may be requested through email, fax, postal mail, or online forms. Contact your local changemakers (Governor, Mayor, City Council, Board of Supervisors, State Legislature, etc.) to find out what process they require.
The process for requesting a proclamation usually takes weeks, so contact your elected officials as soon as possible.
Provide a draft of the proclamation (see below).
The representative's office reserves the right to modify or deny any proclamation request. If a proclamation has been issued in the past, a new request still needs to be submitted each year.
Sample Email Requesting Your MeatOut Proclamation:
Dear [Name]:
March 20 is the first day of Spring, and it also marks the national celebration of MeatOut. Started in 1985, MeatOut empowers thousands of people from coast to coast to turn over a new leaf by exploring the many benefits of plant-based eating — for animals, our health, and the planet.
As celebrations continue to grow and expand, I'm writing to request a Proclamation declaring March 20 as MeatOut Day in [name of city/county]. For your convenience and consideration, I've included sample language below.
By Proclaiming MeatOut Day in our community, it shows support for vital work of educating the public on the benefits of choosing plant-based foods for human health, the planet, and the animals.

- 9011 Ponderosa Dr. [HAR]
In the Grogan's Mill neighborhood of The Woodlands, a 1985 Mediterranean spreads across a half-an-acre lot served by a loop-tipped roadway that appears in aerial views to resemble an inverted golf club. That's rather fitting — the property overlooks a fairway of the tournament course of the Woodlands Country Club. The floor plan, meanwhile, includes its own pool room (top photo). Laps on the housing market date back to June of 2010, when the asking price bobbed for a bit at $949,000 before sinking to $693K. A 2011 re-listing splashed water at $900K before a late 2013 surge upped the ask to $1.15 million. That's also the price sought in a brief spring-to-summer 2014 listing as well as the re-re-re listing by a different agent dating from Black Friday. Let's take a swing through the place:
Now that Lake Conroe has filled up a bit, a Cape Malibu woods-and-waterfront property with dock is in the splash zone. The somewhat secluded 1975 property has a $489,000 asking price. Its back deck has this tidy, multi-level house attached:
On a cul-de-sac's wedge lot in The Woodlands neighborhood of Cochran's Crossing, an updated 1987 home with an outdoor oasis (top) has back fence access to forested pathways and a putting green of The Woodlands Country Club's Palmer course. The park-like property teed off in early April, but sank its asking price by $30,100 earlier this week to rest at $269,900.
MONTGOMERY COUNTY MASTER-PLANNED COMMUNITY PICKED FOR MIDDLE-AGED DISTRICT Arizona homebuilder Taylor Morrison has just purchased 700 lots in the master-planned community Woodforest a few miles north of The Woodlands, and the Houston Business Journal reports that these lots — for which prices and plans are not yet available — in Johnson Development's 3,000-acre community will be reserved for residents 55 and up. But this doesn't appear to mean that Taylor Morrison, which is also building in Springwoods Village south of here, will be putting anyone out to pasture, writes Bayan Raji: "It's committed to the homes fitting in."

Camp Strake, owned by the Houston arm of the Boy Scouts of America since the 1940s, is now under contract to Johnson Development, responsible for communities like Sienna Plantation in Missouri City and Imperial Sugar Land, to name just a couple. Nevertheless, Johnson Development declined to reveal any plans for the 2,083-acre lake-dotted property along the San Jacinto River and not quite 10 miles north of the new ExxonMobil headquarters. For what it's worth, Jones Lang LaSalle did market the property to buyers as a master-planned community called Grand Lake Park, a plan for which you can see after the jump.
GRAND TEXAS THEME PARK GETS ITS TEXAS LAND Developer Monty Galland has teamed with investors that include a former AstroWorld manager to close, at last, on 600 acres in Montgomery County for the proposed Texas-themed Grand Texas Theme Park. In April, Galland told Click2Houston that he would close on the property in May. But the 3-month delay seems to have allowed time for the development to develop thematically beyond tractor rides and simulated shootouts: Prime Property's Erin Mulvaney reports that there will be the previously unmentioned Big Rivers Water Park here too. The parks will be carved out of the heavily wooded acreage between U.S. 59 and Hwy. 242, near the proposed EarthQuest dino-resort. But the proximity doesn't seem to present a conflict in the mind of East Montgomery County improvement prez Frank McCrady, reports Mulvaney: "He compared the two parks to Knott's Berry Farm and Disney Land in California. In this scenario, Earth Quest would be Disney Land, and Grand Texas is Knott's Berry." [Prime Property; previously on Swamplot] Photo: Grand Texas
Norman and Contempo leanings are but the start of the stylin' mashup incorporated into a large waterfront property in the Village of Panther Creek in The Woodlands. On and off the market since the summer of 2010, when its initial asking price was $3.2 million, the 1990 custom estate popped back up last month as a re-relisting seeking $2.5 million. Earlier this month, the ask dropped to $1.95 million. That's a price point a previous relisting sought for nearly a year, ending in May 2012 at $1.85 million.
Next month, reports Real Estate Bisnow's Catie Dixon, construction's supposed to start on 3 more segments of the Grand Parkway: That's why F1, F2, and G on the map here are colored in that cautionary yellow. And where G ends? Not coincidentally, adds Dixon, at that future intersection with U.S. 59, planned to be completed by 2015, the 1400-acre master-planned Valley Ranch is getting ready to sprawl out.
GRAND TEXAS THEME PARK: FILLING THE ASTROWORLD VOID And this overgrown crossroads in the middle of somewhere near U.S. 59 and FM 242 is expected to be part of the Grand Texas Theme Park. Investors are in place, and the land between New Caney and Splendora in Montgomery County should be closed on this May, developer Monty Galland tells Click2Houston, when construction on the $200 million project — advertised to feature high-noon cowboy shootouts and tractor rides — will begin. And why all the fuss? "If there was an Astroworld," says Galland, "we probably wouldn't have even pursued this development. . . . The great thing about it is that we have enough land that we can create a lot of the elements Astroworld had, and it doesn't detract from the other areas of the park. We're not going to compete with Disneyland. We want to create an entertainment value that's similar to going to the movies or going bowling." [Click2Houston; previously on Swamplot] Photo: Grand Texas Theme Park, via Facebook
The cartoon horse speaks! Alas, Grand Texas Theme Park's well-heeled mascot isn't saying where you'll join him. But at least the theme park's website is now open, claiming that developer Monty Galland "has determined three different desired sites: Two are in Montgomery County, while the other is in Fort Bend County." And there are now several new renderings of the park's proposed "territories" with detailed descriptions of the Texas-themed activities and amenities to come.
Meet Lasso, your mascot for the new Grand Texas Theme Park! The armed-and-friendly blond stud has been revealed as the long face of the Texas-themed theme park's second-go-around in Texas. Back in July 2009, developer Monty Galland announced that he had a spot in Tomball for the park's first phase to open by April 2010. Well, that was then. Now, Galland's back — with Lasso in tow — and presenting a revised proposal to Montgomery Country leaders, reports the Tomball Potpourri: The developer's eyeing property near New Caney, where Grand Texas might better hitch its wagon to dinosaur-friendly EarthQuest.
Property-tax assessments dropped overall in Harris County this year, but a reader in Montgomery County writes in to brag about the remarkable rise in value her small neighborhood in The Woodlands experienced over the same period: Assessments for a group of 42 homes in the Village of Panther Creek went up by a minimum of 80 percent over last year's values. To get a taste of the boom, our reader suggests, try a search for "Wedgewood Glen" on the MCAD website. The datasheets for any of the properties listed will show the appraisal history. "With increases like that, The Woodlands may be the hottest real estate market in the country," she writes. And she says she's ready to sell her 30-something-year-old home now — if she can get anyone to buy her home at the price the county assessor says it's worth.

s reported by Fish Information Services, algae capture is now more profitable in Chile than artisanal fishing. Many fishermen are exchanging their nets for wetsuits and returning with their boats loaded with algae.
Some brown algae (black huiro, huiro palo and sargazo) are precious in Japan, China and France, where they are used for producing food thickeners, cosmetics, drugs and animal feed. However, a small part of the catch remains in Chile and marketed as human food (cochayuyo) or for the cultivation of an exotic mollusc, abalone.
Studies reveal that Chilean brown algae are in a state of "full capture." If they are harvested respecting good practices, the prairies have great capacity of renovation; but the degree of conservation of the species today is uncertain and variable, depending on the zones.
On the coast of the province of Huasco (Atacama), where Isla de Chañaral Marine Reserve, part of the Penguin Reserve of Humboldt, is located, there is an important biomass of brown algae, "probably thanks to the protection of the reserve, less pollution and to the fact that historically the operating pressure has been lower," says Gonzalo Olea, marine biologist at the Ecos research center.
Scarce inspection and illegal fishers from other ports are concerning. "Isla de Chañaral is still a reserve with a very important biodiversity, but we need more control to protect it," says Cesar Villarroel, a member of the reserve's advisory board.
For researchers at the Ecos center, the regulation of algae management and free access areas have not been well developed, though there has been some progress. "A few years ago," says Felipe Thomas, a marine biologist at the Ecos center, "the restrictions were only on the size of the algae and it was possible to collect all that was stranded, but now there are regional and provincial quotas, which must also be administered locally."
At present, the management areas, some 70 hectares, must be supported by a registered organization, such as a fishermen's union, which is granted exclusive capture. Those who do not want to associate are left out of the system. In the "free access" areas it is possible for algae collectors from the whole region to work and it is where the self-regulation becomes necessary.
Unemployment in mining and other sectors, the effects of overfishing, and the development of algal exports, all are contributing to the growth of this economic activity.

Mr James Paul Moody, 24, was born in Scarborough, England on 21st August 1887, the son of John Henry Moody and Evelyn Louise Lammin. The Moody family was well known in Scarborough. James' grandfather had been town clerk, and James' father, J.H. Moody, was on the town council.
Moody graduated from the King Edward VII Nautical School in London and passed his Masters Examination there in April 1911. He was 24-years-old when he was transferred from the Oceanic to the Titanic . His 1912 address was: St. James House, Grimsby, Lincolnshire. His family was also known in Grimsby as one of his ancestors, Charles Bartholemew Moody, was the town's first coroner. At the time of his death, he was living with an uncle who was a solicitor - and whose firm is still in business today.
James Moody was Sixth Officer on the Titanic a position which earned him around $37.00 per month. He stood the 8-12 (a.m. and p.m.) watches, as well as the first Dog Watch, that of 4-5 p.m. Moody was on watch on the bridge when the Titanic struck the iceberg. He answered the phone from lookout Frederick Fleet and reported to First Officer William Murdoch , "Iceberg right ahead ." During the evacuation, he helped fill lifeboats 12, 14, and 16. He was last seen about 2:18 a.m. by Second Officer Charles Lightoller trying to launch the collapsible boats.
Moody's last actions were poignantly recalled by Geoffrey Marcus in The Maiden Voyage .
'[Chief Officer] Wilde's efforts to avert panic, maintain order and discipline, and get the last of the boats loaded and lowered to the water were valiantly supported by the youngest of the officers, James Moody. Long before this, the latter should by rights have gone away in one of the boats along with the other junior officers. But the seamen left on board were all too few as it was for the work that had to be done. Moody therefore stayed with the ship to the end and was the means of saving many a life that would otherwise have been lost.'
There is a memorial plaque bearing James' name in the Church of St. Martin on the Hill, Scarborough. It bears the verse:
'Be Thou Faithful Unto Death and I Will Give to Thee a Crown of Life." There is also an altar set at St. Augustine's Church in Grimsby that is memory of James.'
There is an additional monument to James Moody in Woodland cemetery, Scarborough, the existence of which was known only to a few members of the Moody family. The headstone refers to his role in the Titanic disaster, and commemorates Moody?s sacrifice with the words
?Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.?

We consistently receive compliments on how good our chicken tastes. From our famous jerk wings & thighs, various stuffed breasts, marinated kebobs and flattened chickens.
There are a few factors why it is SO good; it is free roam (not confined to a small cage), local (from Smithville), hormone free and we only use meaty roaster chickens. We are also against the common practice of pumping it full of water- so our chicken tastes like chicken…not a watered down version.
50 Point Market has gained a reputation as one of the finest food catering services in the region.

But Oldman is not only interested in the classical painting, furniture and material on offer. He becomes increasingly fascinated by the mysterious incognito woman, who will only communicate with him from behind thick walls and heavy doors." (Berlin Film Festival)

We're big fans of interior designer Sarah Richardson (have you seen her cozy summer cottage?!), so when we found out that her latest project, a colorful cottage in Canada, is available to rent, we nearly fell out of our chairs.
The project was detailed on HGTV Canada's show, Sarah's Rental Cottage. The series, which premiered at the beginning of April, follows Sarah, her husband, and designer Tommy Smythe as they renovated a 1950s cottage near Ontario's Parry Sound in just six weeks. Each episode detailed the renovation of two areas of the house, from the master bedroom to the sunset deck. Now that the home is finished, it's available for weekly rentals.
Other than the appeal of staying in a home that was designed by Sarah and her team, the three-bedroom cottage also boasts sweeping views of Georgian Bay, a private beach, and a sunset deck. Though, to be honest, the home is so beautiful inside that you might not even want to venture outside. Take a look around:
More From Country Living
Want to watch the renovation in action? The entire series is available to stream on HGTV Canada's website. And if you want to visit the home in person, rental prices start at $2,500 a week. You can book your stay and find out more information at Sarah Richardson Design.

Clagett congratulates blind sailor Mitsuhiro Iwamoto
Clagett congratulates blind sailor Mitsuhiro Iwamoto on his historic achievement
Thomas Clagett, Jr. Memorial Clinic and Regatta
It took two tries but Japanese sailor Mitsuhiro Iwamoto became the first blind sailor to conquer the Pacific Ocean by sailing non stop from San Deigo, California to Iwaki, Japan.
The blind sailor abandoned his first attempt in 2013 when he had to be rescued after his boat collided with a whale and sank.
This time around, Iwamoto spent nearly two months completing his voyage aboard his 40-footer Dream Weaver, assisted by his American sighted navigator, Doug Smith. Iwamoto arrived in Iwaki harour on April 20, 2019 after having spent 55 days at sea.
The 52-year-old, who lost his sight when he was a high school student, originally attempted the feat with Jiro Shinbo, a TV anchor, in June of 2013. However, the duo hit a whale shortly after leaving Onahama Port in Iwaki and the two had to be rescued by the Japanese Self-Defense Force.
The acupuncturist moved to the United States where he married an American and they took up sailing together.
Iwanoto has competed at The Clagett in Newport in 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 at the Blind Nationals at Sail Newport and the Blind Sailing World Championship.
"This is an amazing achievement for any sailor and for Mitsuhiro to accomplish this without his sight makes it all the more incredible," commented Judy Clagett McLennan, Clagett president and co founder.
Smith, who is married to a Japanese and has no prior experience in sailing, said he signed up for Iwamoto's undertaking to cross the Pacific because he was inspired by the blind sailor's quest.

So you have determined on raising some chickens, but prior to bringing home your new visitors it's greatest to possess their shelter in location. Based on exactly where you're living, listed here are some great guidelines of thumb to adhere to when thinking about your chicken coop.
If you're Renting a Home:
In the event you don't presently own your house, and therefore are renting, make sure to check together with your landlord prior to even bringing your pets home. In case your landlord is fine using the concept, you will wish to make sure which you don't develop a long term fixture, and that your coop may be effortlessly relocated if require be. Subsequent, think about just how much area you are able to designate for the chickens, and make sure the layout of the coop can accommodate nevertheless large your flock might be. Lastly, make sure your coop, although it might not be as sturdy like a long term fixture might be, is just as secure. Maybe placing a short-term fence about your coop would also be perfect to supply a bit bit of additional security.
In the event you Own, But Reside in The City:
Many occasions inside a city atmosphere, there's a great deal much less area accessible to designate for the flock. With that in thoughts, attempt to not overstuff your flock inside a little coop. A great rule to adhere to is ten square feet per bird. Subsequent, make certain your coop is secure and sound. Inside a city atmosphere, stray pets are extremely typical, and therefore are also very harmful for your flock. As a result it's encouraged to possess correct fencing as well as other security measures in location. Lastly, make sure to construct your coop from sturdy materials that may withstand what ever climate is typical for the region. For example, in the event you reside in an region that gets to be very cold throughout winter, make sure your coop can offer the right warmth for the flock throughout the lengthy winter season. Select your style to withstand fluctuations in climate. Your coop might appear fairly, but can it withstand a thunderstorm? The very last thing you'll need would be to see your flock becoming blown within the wind simply because their coop came apart throughout a poor rainstorm.
In the event you Own, But Have Lots of Land and therefore are Much more Secluded:
Maybe you reside in the country. Nicely, exactly the same guidelines implement but your flock can have much more freedom. Make sure to offer a secure shelter that may withstand climate modifications. In addition, make sure to dimension the coop correctly based on how big or little your flock is. Using the much more area, you might be tempted to allow your flock run totally free. This really is not encouraged, and it's recommended to supply some type of fencing to become certain your flock is secure. It's feasible to possess totally free variety chickens, and nonetheless maintain them secure and sound with some type of fencing. Also, be conscious that using the reduce in individuals, gets to be a rise in wild lifestyle, and as a result much more all-natural predators to become aware of.

This Corona thing is going to go on for a long time. In our home, we have an added battle as my husband is on chemotherapy. He has absolutely no immune system. So as a registered dietitian and a retired nurse, I know a little bit about battling germs. This is a whole different mind-set. To some of you, this will seem like over-kill. As for me, I am hoping for over-kill. That sucker is staying out of my home.
What I am about to tell you is the actual steps I took to go to the grocery store. Sometimes, I got a little silly in my commentary, but I kid you not, I took these steps and had these emotions. Because I am over 60, I was allowed to go shopping at 6 am. I had not been to the store in three weeks so I had a hefty list. My goal was to get in and out in one hour.
Here are some things you need to know first:
1. 100 million viral particles of the novel coronavirus can fit on a pin head. I like the glitter comparison, but it's even smaller than glitter.
2. Heat kills it, friction kills it. COLD does NOT kill it. That means what you put in the fridge and freezer can carry the virus.
3. On the outside, this stuff can last up to three days
4. Quit going to the grocery store unless it is absolutely necessary. True story: yesterday, as the manager was greeting shoppers at the door to the Smart and Final, he said he recognizes the same people that show up every morning. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Yes, I'm shouting. And it was the seniors. Use common sense and stay home unless you have no other choice. It's not social time.
Step by Step Instructions for Grocery Shopping
- The night before: remove grocery list from phone and transfer to paper, dividing list by product location in store. This keeps me away from my phone while shopping so I don't cross contaminate. The list goes in the trash at the grocery store when I am done.
- Pick out clothes to wear to the store. Use a button down shirt that will not go over my face. These are old clothes and shoes that can be washed/sanitized when I return. No jewelry or extra clothing.
- Find an old vinyl purse that will hold essentials: inhaler, gloves, just in case, glasses, sanitizing wipes, sanitizing gel. Put credit card and ID in back pocket of jeans. Do not use cash or money.
- Put towel and 13 gallon trash bag in garage. More on this later.
- Get up at 5 a.m. to get to the store by 6 a.m. Only time for coffee and a homemade ginger snap cookie.
- At store: wipe down cart handle even though they tell me it's sanitized. Remind myself not to touch my face, itch, or blow my nose. Argue at the door with manager that I am actually 63 years old! So yes, take your driver's license. I didn't take mine because it was "extra" and if I get stopped by the police, they have computers in their vehicle. Nice that she didn't think I was 63, but to be sure, take your ID if you are in the senior crowd. Avoid buying produce or cold cuts. Cold foods are easily contaminated. Now, I have a resource for you so check out the link I have posted at the bottom if you feel you must buy produce. We grow our own so this is not an issue for us.
- Avoid dumb-asses that don't abide by the 6 foot rule; help those that can't; take what I can get. I was truly sickened and moved to tears at what was unavailable. Remember to be grateful now for what we have.
- Self check out. I HATE this, but it helps me avoid other people. Use disposable plastic bags (no not mine that I bring home and reuse) and feel guilty for contributing to plastic that will clog my environment. Cuss regularly at the self-checkout computer. Tie bags shut. Leave like my life depended on it.
- Exit time noted: 7:04 a.m.
- At car: open trunk and use plastic trunk liner that I used to use for garden plants in my past life. Load trunk, avoiding my clothing. Drop off food at daughter's house if I found some, and go to second and third stores to look for what I didn't find. Argue again with the store door guard that I really am 63 years old.
- Return home leaving car in sun with windows open to ventilate. Later I will wipe down car with a sanitizing wipe. UV sun rays will help kill the virus. Bags of groceries with nonperishable items go in the garage for three days, knowing Corona can live on cardboard for that long. Cold foods are unbagged and placed on newspaper on kitchen island (Newspaper is three days old) and ice cream immediately wiped down with disinfectant. Cold foods can wait. Remove eggs from carton (Yes! I found eggs) and put into garden basket. Do not wash eggs with sanitizer as eggs absorb from their shells. Remember, cooking will kill Corona. Wash your hands after handling eggs.
- Strip in garage making sure I do not wave clothing around. Put in plastic trash bag. Spray shoes with Lysol, top and bottom.
- In bathroom, throw towel on floor making sure dog does not lay on top of it. Shower/shampoo with boiling water that can kill the virus. Watch my skin turn pink. Use lots of soap and foam. Get clean towel and dry off. Add to towel on floor. Use lots of lotion on hand to avoid getting cracks that invite the virus.
- Dress and go back to kitchen to sanitize cold foods. Put in fridge with clean body and hands. Discard used newspaper.
- Wash credit card and ID in soapy water.
- Close bag with clothes and take to washroom for sanitizing cycle. Add towels and do not allow them to touch clean clothes. Throw another trash bag out remembering the gazillion plastic bags I will waste.
- Make screwdriver and have breakfast. Repeat cycle in 3-4 weeks.
In three days I will go to garage to retrieve my groceries. If I can remove them from their outer cartons, I will. Otherwise I will wipe down the outside, again, using old newspaper to protect my kitchen island until they are dry. Do the same with any deliveries you get. If you can, postpone opening cardboard boxes for three days.
This is a little different angle, but check out this video for more information:

Each month, the NBER Digest summarizes several recent NBER working papers. These papers have not been peer-reviewed, but are circulated by their authors for comment and discussion. With the NBER's blessing, Making Sen$e is pleased to feature these summaries regularly on our page.
The following summary was written by the NBER and doesn't necessarily reflect the views of Making Sen$e.
"No taxation without representation" — the rallying cry of the American Revolution — gives the impression that taxation was the principal irritant between Britain and its American colonies. But, in fact, taxes in the colonies were much lower than taxes in Britain. The central grievance of the colonists was their lack of a voice in the government that ruled them.
The political underpinnings of the American Revolution have been discussed and debated for more than 200 years, and there are multiple explanations of the causes and multiple analyses of the revolutionary dynamic. One question about the revolution that has remained difficult to answer is if a little representation in Parliament could have prevented a war for independence, why did King George III not grant it?
This question is the motivation for Sebastian Galiani and Gustavo Torrens's study "Why Not Taxation and Representation? A Note on the American Revolution." In drawing attention to the role of representation as a spark for revolution, they note that the average British citizen who resided in Britain paid 26 shillings per year in taxes compared to only 1 shilling per year in New England, even though the living standard of the colonists was arguably higher than that of the British.
Most accounts of the events that led to the American Revolution depict a conflict between the colonies and a unified British government. In fact, the researchers argue, the reality was subtler. They draw on a variety of historical accounts to describe the tension between two rival British interest groups, the landed gentry and the democratically inclined opposition, and explain the failure to reach a compromise that would have granted representation to the colonies. In particular, they focus on how extending representation would have affected the relative influence of these two groups.
The researchers consider events a century before the American Revolution to have set the stage for the domestic tensions in Britain at the time of the colonial protests. In 1649, during the English Civil War, a rebellion of Parliamentarians overthrew — and beheaded — King Charles I. Oliver Cromwell, who ruled for most of the subsequent decade, supported expanding representation in government beyond landowners, and his government was sympathetic to grievances like those raised by the American colonies many decades later. However, following Cromwell's death in 1658, Royalists returned to power and sought to restore the historical ruling class.
When the colonies asked for representation in the middle of the 18th century, the monarchy was still recovering from its dethroning, and the landed gentry, now returned to primary power, still felt vulnerable. The researchers point out that the Royalists were contending with factions that sought to bring democracy to Britain. While these opposition groups did not hold significant power, if representatives from the American colonies were invited to join Parliament, they likely would have sympathized with the opposition and expanded their influence. The researchers see this tension as critical to understanding why Britain was so reluctant to enfranchise the colonists.
There were proposals to settle the colonial crisis peacefully, most notably by Thomas Pownall and Adam Smith. Smith, for example, proposed "a system in which the political representation of Great Britain and America would be proportional to the contribution that each polity was making to the public treasury of the empire." Such proposals were rejected by the ruling coalition in Britain. "The landed gentry, who controlled the incumbent government, feared that making concessions to the American colonies would intensify the pressure for democratic reforms, thus jeopardizing their economic and political position," the researchers find.
Ultimately, the opposition of the landed gentry to the demands for representation by the American colonies pushed the colonies to rebellion and independence, but helped to delay the development of the incipient democratic movement in Britain.

"The photos were taken during the Christmas Time in Berlin. The Ku'Damm is enlightened with all the Christmas decoration and offer a unique opportunity for this kind of Street Photography.
Often times we feel less motivated during the winter. Especially for photography, there seems this prejudice that we need good light in order to create good photographs. Often times I even hear that Street Photographers don't want to go out for a photo walk when it is a little cloudy or rains a bit.
With this series, I wanted to challenge myself. Street photography is always possible no matter the circumstances. Wherever I go I take the camera with me. A small RicohGR makes that possible.
Since street photography is about life and life mostly happens on the Christmas market during that time of the year I wanted to show the different facets.
Some people are more joyful because of the delicious hot wine. Others seem more lost in thought.
Either way, the light of the festive decorations in the background allowed me to create these blurry images.
With the flash in my hand, I am my own master. I don't need to rely on the sun upon illuminating the scene, but I can consciously direct the focus.
Street photography with a flash is also way easier than expected. If you haven't tried it out, don't miss that opportunity."

A Game of History
October 5 - November 19, 2017
In Kyiv, at vul. Naberezhno-Luhova, 8, in the premises of the creative community IZONE, an exhibition was opened. It is the "Game of History" exhibition presenting the archive of a well-known Kyiv photo correspondent Iryna Pap.
The display includes two parts. One of them is about the archive of Iryna Pap (1917-1985) rescued from disposal and preserved by Vitaliy Miloserdov in 1991. There are works by the photo correspondent from 1957-1971. Iryna Pap used to work for some leading newspapers of the Soviet Union, such as "Izvestiya." That way, her archive exemplifies an official perspective on the events that used to be presented as breaking news back then, but have become history today. Another part includes a "De-Fixation" installation. It is designed on the basis of the negative films that had been damaged. They were rediscovered from their family photo archives by photographers Valeriy Miloserdov and Dmytro Sergeyev.
Both parts of the exhibition date back to the same period but offer a different lens. This way, the viewers could compare views and manners of presenting past experiences. Despite the similarities of the plots in the Pap's photos and the images from home collections, they had different functions. On the one hand, there is ideological representation in line with the social realism in order to shape the identity of a Soviet citizen. On the other hand, there is a willingness to keep and remember the important moments of family life.
The exhibition's title implies a game. The authors encourage visitors to actively engage with the exhibited photographs. Everyone could interfere and develop their own narratives and scenarios to scroll the images and reshuffle them within the room.
Exhibition curator – Kateryna Filiuk.

Indonesia – a land of islands, one of which is rather well-known by people all around the world: Bali. As a developing country, Indonesia has been generally welcoming to technological innovations, including blockchain – as shown by the presence of the Indonesian Blockchain Association. However, as Forbes would argue, Indonesia would still have a rather long way to go before they can fully implement and accept blockchain technology: which is through education and tech-savviness. In relation to cryptocurrencies, how are they viewed, and is there any difference on Indonesia's stance on them when compared to blockchain? Let's take a look.
In Indonesia, Cryptocurrencies Are Not to be Accepted as a Means of Payment
According to their government, Bitcoin and other virtual currencies are not accepted as legal tenders. This means that Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are not to be used as legal payment instruments. Essentially, no kind of transaction (outside of a crypto exchange) within the country should involve digital currencies as a means of payment.
The Indonesian government only recognizes Rupiah as the sole currency used in any kind of transaction (again, accept for cryptocurrency exchanges). Even in Bali, where many foreigners from countries that are more familiar and exposed to Bitcoin come and build the tourism ecosystem, Indonesian authorities are investigating and planning to ban local businesses who accept Bitcoin payments.
That, However, Doesn't Stop Innovations from Coming
Despite the ban, though, new projects are still appearing, one of which is Pundi. Through the use of their XPOS device, one of Pundi's aims is to enable crypto-based purchases in physical stores all around the world, including in Indonesia, where they are headquartered at the moment.
They remain positive that they can work together with the Indonesian government to come up with policies that will foster the growth of the blockchain industry. While there hasn't been any official announcement regarding the latest update on this, it is possible that the talks are going the positive way as Pundi accepted donations in cryptocurrencies as a relief fund for the recent tsunami disaster in Palu.
One Thing's For Sure: Bitcoin and Cryptocurrencies can be Traded
While there isn't any update yet on the legality of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as a means of payment, Indonesians can still freely buy and sell Bitcoin through exchanges of their choice. The Trade Ministry's Futures Exchange Supervisory Board of Indonesia (Bappebti) has released an official statement that they consider cryptocurrencies to be future trading commodities.
This means that – contrary to what some may have believed – crypto trading in Indonesia is not illegal. If anything, the official stance of Bappebti only accelerates further growth of crypto traders in Indonesia and various crypto exchange projects. In March 2018, it was reported that the Indonesia Digital Asset Exchange (Indodax), the biggest crypto exchange in the nation, will have secured 1.5 million members by the end of the year. This figure is set to rise higher as it has the potential to even outnumber stock traders.
As a country with a dominant Muslim population, a study by an Islamic scholar stating that Bitcoin is halal might even have a positive effect on the crypto market, as it could push further growth of Bitcoin trading activities in the country.
Other exchanges are also appearing beside Indodax as they look to share the market pie in the country. With at least a few competitors, now Indonesians have the option to look for an exchange that best caters to their needs. This is no wonder, since with their population count of around 267 million, Indonesia ranks #4 in the list of countries with the highest population.
At the end of the day, we can remain positive that Indonesia, in time, will be more open towards cryptocurrencies. Someday, perhaps, as they work closer with various crypto communities and projects like Pundi and the Indonesian Blockchain Association, cryptocurrencies could be accepted as a legal form of payment in Indonesia. It remains to be seen, however, when this will happen. What we can probably agree on is the fact that blockchain is an innovative technology, and an innovative technology can last a lifetime. If you're looking to try investing in cryptocurrencies, check out our DinarCoin. Its price is pegged to the international gold spot price, therefore you can have a taste of cryptocurrencies while at the same time limiting your risks, as gold is exposed to less volatility than the general cryptocurrency market.

Happy holidays! This week we'll keep it short and sweet with a touch of humor. As I go about thinking of women in Jacksonville, many of the main players were the wives of famous men. Unlike their husbands, however, they left few records as to how they actually felt about their families, their marriages, and their roles in society. We always have to be careful to assume that money and prestige don't necessarily equate with happiness.
The following story provides an apt illustration: Less than a year into his marriage to Lydian Jackson Emerson, noted American author Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote in his journal:
"A man's wife has more power over him than the state has."
– in Journals and Miscellaneous Notebooks of Ralph Waldo Emerson, Volume V: 1835-1838 (Cambridge, Harvard University Press, 1965), 199.
Later, Lydian kept a journal of her own sarcastically titled, The Transcendental Bible. After many years of marriage to a man known for his reserve (and close relationships with female Transcendentalists), she jotted down,
"Never confess a fault. You should never have committed it and who cares whether you are sorry?"
– in Joel Meyerson, ed., Transcendentalism: A Reader (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2000), 381-382.
Hm, you have to wonder what that's about. On his own, Emerson is lauded as the great American philosopher. Ask his wife and you'll find that while he was wandering in the woods and becoming a "transparent eyeball," Lydian cooked his meals, darned his socks, tidied his mess, and bore and raised his children. In her world, there was very little time for transcendence. Her frustration with the "Sage of Concord" is well documented in the writings of friends like Margaret Fuller and Nathaniel Hawthorne. While I enjoy quiet solitude with Nature as much as the next gal, I'm also a sucker for a good backstory. Emerson's published work tells us something about the ethos of antebellum New England, while Lydian's reminds us that the ethos was not so easily applied to one's daily life.
Women's history. Keepin' it real.

That's what's different. We are limited, as educators, quite literally, by our own imaginations. I'm so excited to have an idea, think about it, and then incorporate it into a lesson and implement it immediately. We are only limited by our imaginations.
But then, I guess, it's not just our imaginations that limit us. It's fear, the unknown. Yes, it's also the very real analysis of whether what we're doing matters, is right, is best practice. Those things though are only time-limitations. They're not actual limitations that will keep us from jumping in with our ideas.
The biggest limitation is fear, whatever that looks like. Control? Chaos? Change?
Eleanor Roosevelt advocated that we do one thing a day that frightens us (not a direct quote). I have always admired her on so many levels, and I try to remind myself to get out of my comfort zone daily, but I don't always do that. The thing is, most people think of fear in the most concrete of terms, like I do. I'm afraid of heights, crowds, new-of late, doctors offices and hospitals.
I guess like anyone else I'm also afraid of change. Here's why I embrace this change with technology. It's not a change in the idea of best practice. It's the ideal of best practice.
I think most teachers like control. It's why we're good at what we do; we control a learning environment for precious learners. The thing is, we all like a different kind of control (thank goodness). I have always been a constructivist theorist, and so I have never wanted control over the learning modalities. I have always sought to have students make meaning from the process of looking for a page to the process of writing choice.
So, using technology excites me. Beyond words. My fears? Well, beyond crowds and amusement park rides (so you can picture that going to Disney World would be my worst-case scenario vacation), I fear letting the "what-if" negatives outweigh the "what-if" big picture promises.
This is why I am so lucky to teach here. Our district and community support moving forward into the now.
On an entirely different subject. Well, not an entirely different subject; this does have to do with our community here. My husband and I were supported by this community here in St.Vrain three years ago, with love, compassion, and financial assistance, with the creation of the first ever "Happy Smackah." We are so grateful to be able to be here, paying that love and support forward and onward. Our Happy Smackah Fun Run is on for May 10th 2014. Please visit: http://www.happysmackah.com.
And back to what is not changed with all the change technology has brought. Here is a picture of the end of my day today. At the end of class, I had about five students waiting to talk to me. I thought they had questions about the lesson. Two of them did. The other three wanted me to look to see if they had the steps to the triple jump right. Track started yesterday. Today, they wanted to jump around my classroom to see if they had the right steps. Later, a group of students found me to see if they could still help me with some schedules I was making. We sat around my desk. Talking, drawing on paper. Another student approached asking about a book recommendation.
Our heads are not so buried in our devices. Their minds are challenged, but they're still needing to move, run, jump and read. And they still want to help the teacher, because they are, after all, beings with heart.

I read some time ago there may be some support to be introduced for using postscript fonts in the dvi/postscript output (e.g. times, palatino). Is this implemented, and how would I use it? No, it is not implemented in the current distribution. There are various patches to texinfo.tex, but nothing to make it switch at the document level. If you're interested in messing with texinfo.tex, I can probably dig something up. Let me know.
