John Webber

John Webber RA (London 6 October 1751 – 29 May 1793 London) was an English artist who accompanied Captain Cook on his third Pacific expedition. He is best known for his images of Australasia, Hawaii and Alaska.

Biography

Webber was born in London, educated in Bern and studied painting at Paris.

Webber served as official artist on James Cook's third voyage of discovery around the Pacific (1776–80) aboard HMS Resolution. At Adventure Bay in January 1777 he did drawings of "A Man of Van Diemen's Land" and "A Woman of Van Diemen's Land". He also did many drawings of scenes in New Zealand and the South Sea islands. On this voyage, during which Cook lost his life in a fight in Hawaii, Webber became the first European artist to make contact with Hawaii, then called the Sandwich Islands. He made numerous watercolor landscapes of the islands of Kauai and Hawaii, and also portrayed many of the Hawaiian people.

In April 1778, Captain Cook's ships Resolution and Discovery anchored at Ship Cove, now known as Nootka Sound, Vancouver Island, Canada to refit. The crew took observations and recorded encounters with the local people. Webber made watercolour landscapes including "Resolution and Discovery in Ship Cove, 1778". His drawings and paintings were engraved for British Admiralty's account of the expedition, which was published in 1784.

Famous quotes by John Webber:

"The interviews with the staff and the review of the policies were found to be in compliance."
"We have made some changes which really amount to clarifications of existing policy. There has been some additional training."
"They came across this medical chart; they had a question about it; they requested that it be sent on for review, and there is a disagreement between the reviewer and the treating physician."
"Their belief is the patient was discharged in an unstable condition; based upon that they provided us with the notice yesterday (Tues.) that they were going to terminate the involvement in the Medicare program and eligibility for that."
"We are not aware of any hospital in the state of Iowa being terminated from participation in the Medicare program as a result of an EMTALA violation. I cannot tell you how many violations have been investigated. There have been very few, if any, terminations nationwide."
"It is not unusual for a date for termination to be set as part of the process. What is unusual is for that to not be resolved and the hospital retains its eligibility to receive Medicare payments. It is extraordinarily rare that they actually go ahead and do that."
"I'm still concerned his plan does not do enough to reduce the debt,"

Desperate Measures

by: John Berry

It's time I had a heart to heart
With this heart of mine
Set it straight, if it's not too late
And make it walk the line
I'm runnin' out of time
Desperate love calls for desperate measures
I'm gonna have to turn my life around
Or lose her forever
When push comes to shove
Desperate love calls for desperate measures
I'm gonna do what I should have done
Long before today
Set aside my foolish pride
Whatever it may take
Get down on my knees
And get her, darlin' please, please stay
Desperate love calls for desperate measures
I'm gonna have to turn my life around
Or lose her forever
When push comes to shove
