Sheep do get sick, but fewer would die if producers recognized that a problem existed, made the correct diagnosis, and treated sheep in the most effective manner. Correct diagnosis is most difficult. It requires experience, and the only way to get that experience is to make the effort. Consulting with your veterinarian can be most helpful.
The following brief comments are intended to provide some help in diagnosing, treating, and preventing some of the more prevalent health problems of sheep.
Back to Table of Contents
Campylobacter or vibrio may cause 10 to 60% of the abortions in a flock. The ewe usually is not sick. The fetus and placenta are aborted during the last three to four weeks of gestation. The placenta is thickened and brown. Some ewes infected with vibrio may not abort but will produce weak lambs, most of which die.
The vibrio organism is taken in orally. It is not a venereal disease. Too high concentrations of sheep and feeding contaminated feeds increase the chance of an outbreak. New sheep that carry the organism will bring it to your flock.
Vaccinate with killed vaccine at breeding and mid-gestation if abortion has been a problem. The second year, use a booster at mid-gestation. Vaccination cost is 40 cents per ewe per year.
If ewes have not been vaccinated and an abortion outbreak occurs, feeding 250400 mg tetracycline (Aureomycin or Terramycin) per ewe daily for 30 days usually is an effective preventive measure.
Chlamydia, or enzootic abortion, affects twofive percent of ewes. This disease has become more prevalent in the Midwest since 1970. The ewe usually is sick and won't eat for two or three days. The placenta is retained and is brown in color. The ewe usually has a vaginal discharge. Abortion occurs during the last four weeks of gestation. There is now a vaccine (killed bacterin) that costs about $1 per ewe. In case of an outbreak, antibiotics help, but the low incidence lessens its practicability.
Toxoplasmosis is caused by the protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondi, which occurs in humans, several other mammals, and birds. In sheep it causes abortion, encephalitis, and pneumonitis. It was first isolated in sheep in 1942 and has become the most frequently diagnosed cause of abortion in sheep since then. Abortion occurs during the last month of gestation, although some infected ewes produce dead or weak lambs at term. Excrement on hay and grain from cats is a major source of infection.
Since the protozoa that causes toxoplasmosis has some similarities to coccidiosis, Rumensin (not approved for sheep but available through a veterinarian's prescription) and Bovatec have been fed to ewes during late gestation to successfully control the disease. The dosage is Rumensin, 1520 mg or 3540 mg of Bovatec/ewe daily. If a nonpregnant ewe becomes infected with toxoplasmosis and builds up an immunity against the disease before becoming pregnant, abortion is normally avoided.
Idiopathic abortions are abortions for which there is no explanation. The majority of abortions are idiopathic.
This disease was once restricted to the western states, but is now very prevalent in the Midwest. It's usually a disease of older sheep. Lung infection causes sheep to waste away. In younger sheep it may express itself as mastitis and hard meaty udders that produce little or no milk. Since it can be passed from sheep to sheep by contact and via colostrum, culling of infected sheep is recommended.
Pregnancy disease is an upset or interference in the metabolism cycle of carbohydrates; it is not related in any way to the amount of exercise the ewe gets. In converting fatty acids and particularly body fat to glucose, ketones accumulate in the bloodstream and blood glucose levels decline. The ketones are very toxic to the ewe, resulting in death within twofive days.
Pregnancy disease occurs only among ewes carrying multiple fetuses and usually only during the last fourfive weeks of gestation. The ewe stops eating, which reduces her source of carbohydrate. She separates from the flock, often wanders aimlessly, and may press her head against the barn or feedbunk.
Unless a ewe is treated very soon after the first signs are noticed, little can be done. Separate her from the flock, drench her with ½ pint propylene glycol twice a day until she eats, and offer her grain and hay. Drenching with glucose, honey, or molasses or injecting 4050 cc of 510% glucose under the skin also may be used with reasonable success. If the ewe is not treated the first day, however, the prognosis is poor.
To prevent pregnancy disease, keep ewes gaining weight during the last four weeks of gestation. Increase the energy intake by feeding, in addition to hay, .51.0 pound grain per ewe daily. Fat ewes may be more susceptible, because they have difficulty increasing in weight, have limited feed capacity in relation to their size, and have an abundant amount of fat to convert to energy.
Caseous lymphadenitis, which is caused by Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis, is a widely spread disease of mature sheep and a major reason for condemnation of ewe carcasses. The abscesses occur in the lymph nodes and may affect the lungs, liver, kidneys, and spleen. Shearing wounds are the major cause and means of spreading the disease. To minimize spreading the disease, shear lambs first and disinfect shearing clippers.
Entropion, or turned under eyelids, occurs most frequently in and is most damaging to lambs. It is an inherited condition and appears in most breeds. One treatment is to remove a small section of the skin about 3/8 inch below the bottom eyelid, which will draw down the eyelid when the skin heals. The eyelid also can be clipped or drawn down with thread. Failure to correct the condition will lead to an unthrifty lamb that may remain blind.
Polyarthritis is arthritis involving one or more leg joints. It may or may not produce pus about the joint. Bacteria causing it are Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis (the same bacteria that cause caseous lymphadenitis in ewes) and Erysipelothrix insidiosa (swine erysipelas). The organism enters the body through the umbilicus or through docking or castrating wounds. To prevent polyarthritis, disinfect the navel cord and docking and castrating wounds. Treatment with antibiotics is only moderately successful.
Feedlot rectal prolapse occurs in 010% of sheep. The condition is caused by high grain rations, high feed intake, overweight, coughing, or a short dock. There is no particularly effective cure. Procedures usually include suturing the rectum partially shut or inserting a plastic tube or short piece of hose and clamping off the protruding position of the rectum with an elastrator ring.
Urinary calculi occurs in feedlot wether lambs and rams on high grain rations and in creep-fed wether lambs. Mortality is 8090% of those affected. The usual cause is an improper calcium: phosphorus ratio. High grain rations result in a Ca:P ratio of 1:2 or 1:3. The ratio of Ca:P should be 1.5:1 or 2:1; thus, you must add limestone (not Dical) to fattening lamb rations. The addition of .5% ammonium chloride to the grain ration also is an effective preventive measure.
Mastitis (acute pasteurella) is the major reason producers cull ewes. Mastitis is associated with lambs with sore mouth and incorrect "drying up" of the ewe at weaning. Minimize reinfection by isolating the infected ewe and her lambs. Palpate udders in the fall and cull ewes with indications of scar tissue. Mark infected ewes at lambing time. Avoid udder injury, and cull ewes with pendulous udders. Treatment includes giving sulfamethazine at one grain per pound of body weight (two bolus), intramammary infusion of the udder (by a teat tube), or intramuscular injection of 810 cc of tetracycline.
Prolapse is a major cause of ewe mortality. Ewes, and especially ewe lambs, that are fat and aren't getting exercise seem prone. Moldy feed that contains estrogen may upset hormone balance sufficiently to cause expulsion of the vagina or uterus.
Vaginal prolapse occurs before lambing and may be inherited. It may be due to too bulky feed, natural estrogens in the feed or those produced by molds, short tail dock, or injury. To correct it, clean the protruding tissue, elevate the rear quarters of the ewe, and reinsert the tissue. To keep the tissue in, you can suture the vulva partially, insert a plastic ewe retainer, or fasten a rope hitch around the ewe in a manner that permits tying three knots over the vulva. Use an antibiotic to arrest infection and cull the ewe.
Uterine prolapse occurs after lambing and may be due to a parturition accident. It may never occur again. If uterine infection develops, treat it with sulfa bolus or an antibiotic. Use a ewe retainer, feed a low roughage diet, elevate the ewe's rear quarters, and use a rope hitch as described above.
Footrot is a grievous disease that almost defies curing. For a small flock of grade ewes, selling out and starting over is the wisest decision.
Footrot is caused by two bacteriaFusobacterium necrophorum and Bacteroides nodosusthat act synergistically. F. necrophorum is common in most manure; it is very hardy and can live for years in manure. It contributes to footrot in cattle and causes thrush in horses. B. nodosus apparently lives only in sheep hooves. It dies out in soil in two weeks. It grows very slowly, so the incubation period may be long. Foot abscesses may be caused by B. nodosus, but footrot requires the presence of both B. nodosus and F. necrophorum. Moist soil conditions contribute greatly to the cause and spread of footrot.
To control and treat footrot:
Sore mouth (contagious ecthyma) is caused by a virus. Herpes ulcers develop on the lip and tongue of the lamb and on the udder of the ewe. An abrasion on the lips seems to contribute to its incidence. It is more prevalent in lambs raised on rubber nipples. Vaccinate if you have infected sheep running with susceptible sheep (young lambs). If you show sheep, vaccination is a must. For most sheep it is of little concern. Other than with baby lambs, let it run its course. It is a virus, so antibiotics are ineffective. Vaccinate at twothree days if you have had previous problems and have brought in unexposed sheep.
Scrapie (wasting disease) has a twofive year incubation period. Suffolk and North Country Cheviot appear to be most susceptible. An infected sheep rubs its head and rump against buildings or fences, becomes nervous, and develops muscular tremors and convulsions that result in death. Only a small percentage of flocks are afflicted with this rare disease.
About 15% of flockowners surveyed reported pinkeye as a problem. Use tender loving care that includes darkening loafing areas to minimize eye stress, and let it run its course. In two or three weeks it usually cures itself.
Lamb starvation, the number one killer of lambs, often is associated with lack of shepherding. Contributing causes are:
Pneumonia, the number one lamb disease, occurs because of a lack of colostrum, because of "mastitis milk," or because ewes are heavily infected with pasteurella (99% are infected, so the organism is always present). A lamb contracts pneumonia because it can't stand such stresses as too little milk, draft, dampness, and ammonia off a manure pack.
Diagnosis of sick, unthrifty young lambs is relatively simple, because 90% of the time they are either starving or have pneumonia. Strive for early detection and start antibiotic treatment before the lungs have been permanently damaged.
Treatment for pneumonia is to inject the lamb with antibiotics (tetracycline, penicillin, or streptomycin) plus one grain sulfamethazine per pound of body weight. Adequate selenium and vitamin E help the lamb withstand pneumonia. Keep the lamb strong!
Scours are due to one of many bacteria. To minimize the problem, an adequate intake of colostrum (eight to 12 ounces of either ewe or cow colostrum) is absolutely essential. Scours may hit the lamb the first day of life. The lamb succumbs due to added stress (draft, ammonia, poor ventilation). Clostridium perfringens type C may be the cause of baby lamb scours. Vaccinate the ewe four weeks prelambing to prevent it.
Treat scours with a 250 mg tetracycline capsule orally, injection of 1 cc penicillin or tetracycline (IM). E. coli salmonella often is the cause.
Coccidiosis usually occurs in lambs four weeks or older. It is caused by protozoa. Treat it with amprolin or sulfamethazine (one grain per pound of body weight). Rumensin, 15 grams/ton, in feed prevents it. Rumensin is approved for cattle but not sheep.) Bovatec, 40 g/ton of feed, is also effective. Electrolyte-baking soda or consomme soup are supportive treatments. Lambs usually show blackish, blood-tinged diarrhea and are reluctant to eat.
The cause of white muscle disease (muscular dystrophy) is a lack of selenium or vitamin E or both. In Minnesota, a lack of vitamin E is more likely to be the cause. Signs are lambs born dead or weak, or lambs that are unable to rise or walk or that do so stiffly. It may affect six- to eight-week-old lambs. Very often the fastest gaining lambs are affected.
To prevent white muscle disease, feed salt containing 90 ppm selenium, feed salt fortified with 100,000 I.U. vitamin E per 100 pounds salt, or inject young lambs with selenium and vitamin E on day 1 and day 10.
Enterotoxemia can kill sheep of all ages but usually kills only those that consume high levels of carbohydrates. Feedlot mortality for vaccinated lambs is .5%; for unvaccinated lambs it is 510%. Vaccination costs about 15 cents per lamb.
Clostridium perfringens type D, one type of bacteria that causes enterotoxemia, is most prevalent in feedlot or in creep-fed lambs. Symptoms are sudden death, occasional pushing and staggering, and apparent blindness.
For an outbreak, vaccinate with type D toxoid on day 1 and again 1214 days later, de-worm, and reduce grain until the vaccine takes effect.
C. perfringens type C causes a type of enterotoxemia that usually is accompanied by bloody scours. Mortality may be high. It usually occurs among fast gaining lambs during the first three weeks. Ewes vaccinated three-four weeks prelambing provide antibody protection in their milk. Normally, vaccine won't "take" on young (3- to 10-day) lambs that are nursing.
Acidosis High grain intake lowers the rumen pH from about 7.2 to 5.25.8 causing lambs to discontinue eating, pain and if sufficiently severe, death. Purging with mineral oil or a bicarbonate drench is effective.

* it's totally matte (just as being told in the name). There are too many shimmery e/s in the market already. Sometimes, you just want a total matte one
* silky and smooth application
* reasonably priced
* nice package ( sturdier package than a lot of drugstore e/s package)
* can't think of any right now.

This is one of my absolute favorite eye shadows. Completely matte and superb for blending. It's amazing how inexpensive it is as well. Honestly, I like this quad and the nudes quad better than most of the eye shadows on the market. It's very hard to find truly matte eye shadow without shimmer or shine and with good quality. This is a true gem of a product.

I would like the shadow to be more finely milled or somewhat creamier, but for the price, this quad is great. It's really hard to find matte eyeshadow quads, but this quad has good color coordination and good quality. I can't speak to creasing since almost no eyeshadow creases on me, but lasting power is pretty good, much better with TFSI, but it only fades a bit without. The darkest shade is also perfect for my brows (I have black hair but am fair-skinned) The packaging is not too pretty, but useful. I like having the mirror for emergencies.

Fantastic, usable every day. Okay; I'm fair skinned caucasian and the nude/cauc-skin colored eye shadows in this are a great base to help cover up little veins and stuff to make your color shadow show up better. If you have over glittered or over colored your eyelid and would rather not wipe it all off, this can tone it down for you perfectly. Also, the gray is very nice to give you a slightly dressy/formal look that works with a little black dress and a t-shirt alike. The packaging is very high quality, although I apply with a brush, especially for a drug-store brand. Love this.

I decided to write a review--a great one--for this product in hopes that it would inspire others to go out and buy it, the company would see that the product sells, and they therefore would never discontinue it. So, here I go. I agree the packaging is bare bones, not luxury. But since eyeshadow compacts eventually get thrown away, unless they can be refilled, I don't want the bulk of my money going towards packaging. The mirror is a bit too small to be useful, the applicators adequate. But I figure, if you are reading MakeupAlley reviews, you probably have better brushes and mirrors anyway. That said, this is a great matte eyeshadow, with good color coordination of the four colors. There is a cream or vanilla color, two mid-range brown shades, one a bit warmer with a hint of orange, one a more neutral to cool brown, and the darkest shade is a deep greyed brown. This palette is great for a classic eye design for women with warm to neutral complextions. I don't know how well this would work on a truly cool complexion. It might not have enough pink to liven up the eye. So, be aware of that. The shadows are pigmented enough to suit darker skin tones, too, I think. They are finely milled, apply easily and also blend well. These shadows easily equal or exceed the quality of far more expensive shadows, and are a real value. Shimmer is best left to the youthful and the unlined eyelids of said youth. Matte is more versatile anyway; you can always dress up a matte eye with a touch of highlight somewhere, and this would work well with that extra bit for a more glamorous look. You can use the darkest shade dry or wet to line the eyes, it is sufficiently dark and pigmented. I have dark ash brown hair, now with a good deal of grey in my hair and also coming out in my brows. Sigh. But I have never found a better color to use on my brows, to fill in some thinner spots. I have thought to send a few shavings of the color to Three Custom Color and have it custom made into a large pan, I love the color so much. Maybe when I get my next tax return. I've tried to match the color at the MAC, Bobbi Brown, Lancome, Prescriptives and other colors and they just don't have it. It is a truly neutral color and just perfect. Drugstore makeup can be fabulous--you just have to know what to pick. If you want the classic matte eye, to shape and shade and look very pulled together, this is a true must have and a bargain to boot--if you use one of the coupons that Ulta comes out with frequently, it is just criminally inexpensive for a great product. Enjoy!

This is a great quad!
I used the beige color on my entire lid, used the light brown (one of the two, they're pretty similar in color) on my outer V into the crease, and for an added pop I put a light wash of a UD Peace up and around/a little bit over the crease...and for the browbone I used UD SIN. Lined my waterline with a random white liner. Finished off with mascara and and my elf felt tip black liner.
It came out really pretty, sounds like a lot of work but it really wasn't. Oh and I use the grey color on my brow, just wet it down a bit with MAC studio fix so it'd darken up the pigment a bit.
Nothing special about the packaging, but that's why its less expensive, which is A-OK with me, and it was around 6 bucks or so...

This is absolutely awesome. The colors are good, but the staying power OMG! I was tired of creasing and having that oily look! Also my color was seeping.
I read the reviews here and looked at it at drugstore twice before buying it. I took the plunge when I was having no luck even with primer. This lasts all day until you take it off!

Credits earned from this certificate program may be applied toward Walden's M.S. in Adult Learning program.
To understand adult learning, one must ask and answer complex questions: Who is the adult learner? What is the social context of learning? What motivates adult learners? In this course, education professionals explore the theories and frameworks that inform the field of adult learning today. They identify, compare, and contrast foundational and emerging perspectives on adult learning with the aim of transforming theory into practice. They engage in an integrative course project through which they synthesize and apply various theories to real-world situations, including their own development; summarize how the idea of wisdom impacts their experiences as adult learners; interview an adult learner; and assess various perspectives in regard to educating diverse learners.
Today's diverse, multicultural world dictates that adult learners are not treated as a homogenous group but rather as distinct individuals, each with his or her own intrinsic motivations. Education professionals in this course learn the importance of culturally responsive teaching methods that promote respect, relevance, engagement, and academic success. They engage in readings and assignments focused on inclusive approaches that promote cross-cultural communication, and they explore and discuss a range of topics, such as race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, nontraditional learners, and linguistic diversity.
A number of best practices in adult teaching and learning have been identified based on decades of research and experience. Education professionals in this course examine these evidence-based practices to build their skills and gain strategies to facilitate learning in a variety of settings. They also explore promising new ideas and emerging trends in the field of adult learning.
Given the wide variety of settings in which adult learning takes place, it is no small challenge to plan and implement robust learning experiences tha can be effectively evaluated. This course examines the ingredients essential to succesfully promote learning, including multiple needs assessment models, approaches to program design, implementation strategies, and models of evaluation and assessment.

The World Bank Projects DatabaseThe World Bank maintains a searchable database of all Bank projects since 1947, accessible athttp://www.worldbank.org/projectsTips for searching the World Bank Projects Database for ICT projects:Search on "technology, education, distance learning, ICT, and/or information and communications technologies." Note that many general education projects have ICT components and many ICT projects have education components. Sometimes it is necessary to scan project documents to find appropriate projects.
One quick way to identify World Bank projects that have significant components related to ICT use in education is to consult the World Bank Education Projects database maintained by EDSTATS, which identifies over 100 'project activities or features' based on a review of Project Appraisal Documents (PADs). Please note that not all uses of ICTs in World Bank education projects can be identified through a review of PADs or using the education projects database, so you may wish to consult additional resources as well.
The 'project activities or features' that relate to ICT/education include:
We have listed below some representative completed World Bank education projects that contain ICT-related components:
[ Projects with large-scale ICT components ]
Turkey: Secondary Education Project, 2005~2010This project aims to improve the quality, economic relevance, and equity of secondary education to support lifelong learning. The project will provide ICT training as a core competency for youth to function in a modern knowledge economy.
Russia: e-Learning Support Project, 2004~2008This program is designed to enhance the system-wide introduction and use of information and communication technologies (ICT) in Russian general and initial vocational schools. The project will enhance the national capacity to produce high quality learning materials, support teacher training in the educational use of ICT, and develop a network of interschool ICT resource centers.
Tunisa: Education Quality Improvement Program (EQIP) Phase 2, 2004~2008The main objective of Education Quality Improvement Program (EQIP) is to promote excellence in teaching and learning throughout the school sector, while continuing the push for equity by ensuring the inclusion of all children at all levels of the basic education system. Progress against this objective is measured by enrollment and completion rates, disaggregated by gender.
Jordan: Education Reform for the Knowledge Economy I Program, 2003~2008The objective of the Education Reform for Knowledge Economy Project (ERfKE) is to support the Government of Jordan to transform the education system at the early childhood, basic, and secondary levels to produce graduates with the skills needed for the knowledge economy.
Argentina: Second Secondary Education Project - Province of Buenos Aires, 2000~2008The Second Buenos Aires Secondary Education Project is part of the continued Bank support to the education reform process in the Province of Buenos Aires, and its focus is on improving the equity, and quality of, and access to secondary education services.
[ Selected Higher Education Project with an ICT Component ]
Egypt: Higher Education Enhancement Project, 2002~2008The Higher Education Enhancement Project aims at laying the foundation for improving the quality of the higher education system in Egypt, through legislative reform, institutional restructuring, and establishment of independent quality assurance mechanisms, and monitoring systems.
Projects with small but innovative ICT components related to Distance Learning
Chad: Education Sector Reform Project, 2003~2007The main objective of the Chad Education Sector Reform Project (PARSET) is to develop the policy framework, strategies, and means for quality universal basic education and to implement corresponding activities. The focus will be on building the institutional capcity for a more effective partnership between the State and the communities, and more equitable access to education. The project seeks also to develop the technical capacity necessary for overall curriculum and pedagogic renewal in Chadian schools, by launching several innovative programs aimed at both expanding access to education and improving the quality of teaching and learning. There are four project components, each of which comprises several sub-components.
Peru: Rural Education Project, 2003~2007The Rural Education Project in Peru will support the Government's strategy for improving the quality, and equity of basic education, through investments in rural areas with the lowest education indicators, and through systemic reforms of teacher policy, and education management.
[ Projects with initiatives to equip schools with computer labs ]

Islamabad and Rawalpindi, Pakistan
high resolution 1000 pixel-wide image (1.9 MB JPEG)
Two capital cities in Pakistan lie next to one another but display land use patterns that are entirely different. Islamabad, with a population of 901,000 (ca. 1998) boasts a master-planned rectangular street pattern nestled against the Margala Hills (top left). The larger Rawalpindi (population 1,406,214 in 1998) lies to the south on the Soan River.
Islamabad has grown rapidly since construction began in 1961. It was created as a new administrative district in Pakistan to be the home of government, the supreme court, and the diplomatic corps. The great white building of the Faisal Mosque appears on the northern margin of the city. By contrast with orthogonal Islamabad, Rawalpindi displays the radial land transportation pattern of many cities with a river flowing through the city center. City blocks are small and growth less controlled than in its newer neighbor. Airports can be seen to the east and south.
Rawalpindi was an important British military center from the mid-1800s during colonial times, and became the interim capital for a decade (1959–69) once the decision was made to move the capital from Karachi inland to be closer to disputed Kashmir and neighboring Muslim countries. Rawalpindi is the headquarters of Pakistan's army and an administrative, commercial, educational and industrial centre.

Nearly 100 Cleburne County residents crowded into a cafeteria at the Cleburne County Nursing Home to hear the board's proposed new plan. Many residents were concerned that the board would vote to cut the Cleburne EMS services in favor of hiring a private company. Instead, the board approved a budget written by its newest member that slashed nearly $80,000 in expenses but keeps all the employees.
Cleburne's previous EMS budget has been under scrutiny by members of the board for nearly a year. Board chairman Bill Cleino said the budget was "maxed out fulfilling requests to EMS."
"We want to preemptively do something before we have a crisis," Cleino said.
The board hired Ralph Mitchell, a managing partner of Administrative Services LLC, in March 2012 to look for ways to improve the budget and the services offered by the Cleburne County EMS. Mitchell told the room that he met with the board and Cleburne County EMS director Keith Roberts, and made as many budget cuts as they thought possible. Even with the cuts, Mitchell predicted, the board would be out of money in less than three years.
In 2012, Cleburne EMS spent $890,000, board members said. Of that budget, $714,000 was paid to EMS employees. The plan approved Thursday would reduce spending by approximately 9 percent.
Mitchell suggested a private company be hired to run the service and the board made contact with Northstar Paramedic Services, a Tuscaloosa-based company, which had representatives at the meeting to present their proposal.
Those representatives were never heard once new board member Tracy Lambert took the floor with his own budget proposal.
Lambert, a former Cleburne County commissioner, said it took him four days to create the budget he presented to the board. His budget eliminates unauthorized overtime and cuts the number of vacation days EMS employees are given based on how many years they've been working for the service.
Lambert's budget is expected to save Cleburne EMS $80,000 without having to lay off any of its employees. The budget was approved after seven of the eight board members voted for it to pass.
"I was not for outsourcing, at least without looking at our options. That's why I decided to bunker down and try to provide a viable option that could possibly save it," Lambert said.
Lambert said he's had success with budgets he's proposed as a county commissioner and hopes to have the same success as a hospital board member.
"It's only fair to our taxpayers if we get the best deal and we determine what we want," Lambert said. "We work for the taxpayers."
Roberts said his goal when he took over as EMS director three years ago was to make Cleburne EMS a career destination for his paramedics and EMT's. The director said he quickly learned he would be faced with the challenge of keeping Cleburne EMS afloat.
"I'm having trouble maintaining what I have. That's providing two (Advanced Life Support) trucks around the clock," Roberts said. "We're struggling more every year."
Roberts said he didn't agree with the board when they began to consider outsourcing the service to Northstar.
"A for-profit company will not provide the same level of care and same amount of care," Roberts said.
Roberts said every employee at Cleburne EMS has given concessions, including one employee who gave up $5,000 from his monthly paycheck.
"We're doing our part. We're doing all we can personally," Roberts said.
Roberts said he's encouraged by Lambert's plan and he's hoping this can be a new beginning for Cleburne EMS.
Jeremy Hoffman, an advanced emergency medical technician at Cleburne EMS, said his biggest fear with a proposal from another company was lack of service for the county and putting residents' lives in jeopardy. He also said he was unsure whether he would be able to keep his job under potential new management.
"I understood a while back that changes would have to be made. I'll stand behind the changes and hope it's in the best interest of the community," Hoffman said.

One day the radio will spew songs about hovercrafts and robots, but until then, cars and girls remain heavy on the cool factor. High on Stress fixate on transportation, heartbreak, and other weighty issues using a throwback style that mixes Ryan Adams with a touch of the Replacements to create folksy narration. The locals' no-fuss approach renders their popsmithing accessible, but bluesy piano and guitar lines and poignant, snark-seeped lyrics (like "Rock and roll can kiss my ass/It never saved anyone" from "Table 8 in Queens") thicken the plots of singer Nick Leet's stories. And though the band members prefer to confront life's crossroads, they never idle too long, making this show the perfect end-of-the-week pick-me-up. With Noonan, the Juggernauts, Middlepicker. 18+.

First B&B experiencePosted Oct 19, 2014
Pros: The room, Debbie and the proximity to some cool places to eat and the subway was 5 minutes away.
Cons: Debbie couldn't find our room key so we only had a key for the front door. Would have liked a key for our room but no biggie.
Location: There is a nice little café right at the corner of Macon & Nostrand. Or walk down to Fulton the subway is right there or walk along Fulton to Outpost
This was our first time staying in a B&B. Wasn't sure what to expect but we were pleasantly surprised and happy we chose to stay here instead of a typical hotel. The room was big, the bed was comfy and there was plenty of room to store our clothes. There was also a little area in the room tucked to the side with a private sink (the shared bathroom was just outside our door but we were the only ones on our floor for the duration of our stay). All in all the room was well decorated and we felt right at home. The house is on a quiet street in a fun part of Brooklyn. What really made our stay there great was our host Debbie. She was so welcoming and really makes you feel right at home. I really wasn't sure what it would be like staying at a b&b....but as she put it, "it's your home!"... and it really did feel that way!

Great Conversations, Interesting AmbiencePosted Aug 1, 2014
Pros: The owner's treatment of her guests, closeness to the subway, food and historic ambience.
Cons: Lighting in the room is very dark (using all lights available), but not a problem.
Location: Close to the A express line, not far from the weekend Brooklyn flea market and other Brooklyn landmarks.
Reading previous reviews, it's apparent that Debbie has listened to reviewers' comments. Extra towels, wash cloths, lotions, etc. are all provided (not that I was looking for that, but I did note that people had complained about this). My stay was very pleasant (Green Room) with air conditioning and ceiling fan as a respite to the summer's heat. Breakfast was served every day and I enjoyed conversations with Debbie and other travelers. She looks out for her guests and if you ask, she will help you. I loved sitting out at her backyard table in the morning, how conveniently close the B&B was to the subway stop, and the uniqueness of the place. There is a sink in the room with a toothbrush holder. If you are someone who enjoys adventure when you travel, talking to other travelers, and learning about the area and your host, you will enjoy this experience.

Great valuePosted Jun 28, 2014
Pros: Wonderful host, location, value
Cons: better wifi reception on 2nd floor
Location: all night pizza place near the subway was very tasty late at night after a few beers
I had a great time in this B&B and would recommend it. The room was clean and comfy. The shared bathroom was excellent. The host was a delight and I wish I had been a bit more sociable and woken up in time for breakfast at least once (my fault :)) or been there for the jazz gigs. The location was great as it was only 5 mins walk to the subway and decent little shopping district. The only downsides were the wifi didn't work amazingly on the 2nd floor although on the ground floor it was very quick. Also the key to my room couldn't be found but all the other guests were nice and nothing was missing. Overall I would definitely rate this B&B as excellent.

Best place in Brooklyn!Posted May 15, 2014 on Hotels.com
My husband and I loved it-- much better than our last NY stay in a hotel in Manhattan-- loved the neighborhood, great proximity to museums, and Debbie -and Spencer- both helped us out, made our stay that much better. A real neighborhood, in a beautiful brownstone, and a place worth getting to know. Highly recommended!

A More Authentic BrooklynPosted May 11, 2014 on Hotels.com
Debbie was a delightful host. I enjoyed meeting her friends and other guests in the hotel. Breakfasts were very well prepared and Debbie is a good cook. There was genuine concern about helping me see interesting sights in Brooklyn and this bed and breakfast was located close to the subway line. I felt I saw a real cross-section of many Brooklyn neighborhoods with the many places I traveled. I feel I saw a more authentic Brooklyn by staying here and I only scratched the surface with my short stay. I would love to come back for a Jazz night on either Friday or Saturday night.

Brownstone Jazz and DebbiePosted Mar 17, 2014
Cons: Some of the locks/keying system need upgrades.
Location: Subway is close and Barclays is 1.7 mi away.
Near the Barclay's center-we were there for the A10 tourney but we blundered into an experience that enriched my life and changed my attitude towards Bed-Stuy and Jazz. I now like them both-and Debbie is the consummate in gracious hostesses. It's an experience I wouldn't have wanted to miss.

Great place. Beautiful brownstone.Posted Dec 23, 2013
Pros: The warmth of the welcome and the character of the furnishings. The availability of fine music was a terrific plus on a cold winter night. Great jazz!
Cons: Locks and handles on doors.
Location: The weather was miserable so I didn't see much of the neighborhood. I love walking the Brooklyn Bridge every time I come to NYC.
The stay was memorable. The evening of jazz in the salon on Friday night was of a very high quality. The warmth of the owner Debbie Mac was genuine and heartfelt. The place has a lot of character. The subway stop is nearby so access to Manhattan was easy. I'd stay again without question. Charlie Mac from Pittsburgh

Absoutely the BESTPosted Oct 21, 2013
Pros: The people I met and the staff. The jazz band on Friday & Saturday was terrific. It was just great, gave me a chance to meet the real New Yorker's.
Cons: Not much, I went to have a good time, and experience how people really lived in New York. This was it!
Location: Let Debbie arrange for transportation, taxis, Prospect Park, best local restaurants, let Debbie show you how to have fun.
Greeted by a wonderful staff, rooms were clean, just a fun place to stay. Debbie, the hostess, was relentless is helping us get around New York, getting us transportation, fixing us breakfast, facilitating social interaction with other guests from around the world. And, introducing us to her many friends and neighbors. We asked her where we could get the best pizza in New York, and she told us about this restaurant which did not even have a sign on the restaurant. Their only advertising was by word of mouth. When we got there, the restaurant was packed with local fun people, eating New York's best Pizza. For this ol' Texas boy, I would not think of staying any where else when visiting New York. Much more fun than staying in a hotel.

They're one of the most visible companies you've never seen.
As the sun begins to warm the morning air each day, 386 workers fire up bulldozers from Virginia to New Orleans, helping to haul in more than $100 million per year.
In the Chattanooga area, Stephen Wright, CEO of Charleston, Tenn.-based Wright Brothers Construction Co., has moved dirt or dynamited rock at almost every major commercial or industrial project in the last two years. Today, the Wright family — no relation to the aviators of North Carolina fame — is responsible for earth-moving at the Volkswagen, Amazon, Wacker, Cleveland Airport and U.S. 27 work sites.
"We've had as much work around here in the last 50 years as we've had in the last 18 months," Wright said.
Though the company has built golf courses, malls and dams across the Southeast, Wright's specialty is road building, a trade he picked up from his dad.
"Until now, no one here knew much about our company because we did a lot of work out of state," he said.
One notable local project that he helped build in 1978 is a little road called I-75. At the time, the company erected a temporary headquarters near Cleveland, Tenn., near the unfinished road. Today, the family is still there.
Low bidder
As Wright looks back on a dusty but profitable career, he dismisses the notion that there's anything special about the company, which has survived roughly eight recessions and 11 presidents.
"I was just the low bidder on every contract," he said, smiling.
Many of the old family photos from the old days depict weathered men posing next to bulldozers in the dirt, squinting at the Tennessee sun.
As a young man, Wright stood proudly next to his father, Robert Wright, sporting a pair of cowboy boots and a white T-shirt spattered with mud.
Along with brother James Wright, Robert Wright founded the business in 1961 with a single bulldozer and a desire to get paid for playing in the dirt. With their new machine, the two men helped local farmers dig ponds and helped local contractors with a few small road projects.
The duo grew the company quickly, scoring their first contract with the Tennessee Department of Transportation in 1967 as a primary contractor.
Over the years, Stephen Wright rose through the ranks into the company leadership role he holds today, working in an office next door to his dad.
Wright, the company's second-generation leader, is already readying the third generation to take the reins.
"You have to be unselfish and realize you're not going to live forever," Wright said. "You have to really want it to make it through the next generation, and you can't take a whole lot out of the company."
He also doesn't get to take a lot of days off.
"Sometimes you look back at your kids and you haven't seen them as often as you like," he said.
His Christian faith has made the long days a bit more bearable, however.
"I've always been taught to separate business and faith, but once I thought about it, I said, why?" he said.
He's started a chaplain program for workers who find themselves on a project far from home, joined a group of Christian CEOs, and said he's been conscientious about telling the honest truth, even when it stings a little.
"The key is to be honest and forthright, communicate honestly and through the heart," Wright said. "Some people feel refreshed when they hear the truth."
Some of the tough truths he's telling today revolve around Congress' inability to pass a halfway decent transportation bill, he said.
As new chairman of the American Road & Transportation Builders Association, Wright is concerned about what he sees as deteriorating infrastructure around the country and a slowdown on new projects.
There's a day of reckoning coming," Wright said. "There's this belief that anything the government does is bad, but we've gone from a transportation system that's gone from expanding in capacity to one that's maintenance only."
Passing a highway bill isn't just about fighting congestion, it's about the American way of life, he claims with conviction.
Simple pleasures like salad bars and year-round fruit didn't exist 50 years ago, he said, because there wasn't enough transportation infrastructure to deliver the goods.
"When I was a kid in the '60s, there weren't strawberries available unless you picked them," he said. "Everything was frozen and nasty. Now, we've grown to have these expectations, but there's not enough money to keep up the lifestyle."
That goes for him as well. Thanks to reduced government spending, a global recession and more competitors looking to earn dollars in his market, "break-even is the new normal" for most road builders, he said.
Though the money is nice, Wright likes the idea that he gets to leave something permanent behind after he finishes work on a road or a building — something that he can stand back, look at and be proud of.
In fact, the company headquarters is surrounded on three sides by projects the family helped build — Wacker to the north, Amazon to the south and I-75 to the west.
Naturally, there have been some bad days.
Though he always knew he was going to work construction, he almost didn't make it at his father's company.
"One day, I quit around 10, came back and got fired around 2," he said. "I don't remember why now, but that's one of the problems of working for your dad."
Since he was the founder's son, he had to show up for work the next day anyway.
"At least he hasn't fired me lately," Wright said.
Wright Brothers in 2011 had to pay one of the largest fines in the history of the federal clean water act for allegedly dumping excess soil and rock into seven trout streams in Northeast Georgia. The company, along with the Georgia Department of Transportation, had to pay more than $2.8 million in a settlement, though they continued to dispute that federal law had been violated.
"We settled because it looked like we were going to run out of credit before the U.S. government," Wright said at the time, according to The Associated Press.
Other times, he's lost millions on contracts when state governments refused to pay what they owed due to unforeseen cost overruns.
"It seems like we have a tendency to make one terrible mistake every year," he joked.
That point is illustrated in a comic strip that Wright has affixed to the wall in the men's restroom. In the picture, a hobo sits on a bench, unshaven and wearing rags.
"I was the low bidder on every contract," the hobo says.

In this paper, we report a new method based on supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) to fill and distribute the porous magnetic nanoparticles with n-octanol in a homogeneous manner. The high solubility of n-octanol in scCO2 and high diffusivity and permeability of the fluid allow efficient delivery of n-octanol into the porous magnetic nanoparticles. Thus, the n-octanol-loaded magnetic nanoparticles can be readily dispersed into aqueous buffer (pH 7.40) to form a homogenous suspension consisting of nano-sized n-octanol droplets. We refer this suspension as the n-octanol stock solution. The n-octanol stock solution is then mixed with bulk aqueous phase (pH 7.40) containing an organic compound prior to magnetic separation. The small-size of the particles and the efficient mixing enable a rapid establishment of the partition equilibrium of the organic compound between the solid supported n-octanol nano-droplets and the bulk aqueous phase. UV–vis spectrophotometry is then applied to determine the concentration of the organic compound in the aqueous phase both before and after partitioning (after magnetic separation). As a result, log D values of organic compounds of pharmaceutical interest determined by this modified method are found to be in excellent agreement with the literature data.

From Palo Alto Wiki
The 1920s were a time during which population and prohibition were the issues of the day in Palo Alto.
For Palo Alto and Menlo Park, the decade started out with a loss of population rather than an increase. After World War I, the soldiers of Camp Fremont left their grounds and the land reverted to its previous owners. For months afterward, rumors circulated around Menlo Park that a Hollywood motion picture studio would take over the site. The motion picture studio never materialized.
[edit] The 1920 Census
In 1920, Palo Altans waited for federal census figures to be released with a great degree of anticipation. Up and down University Avenue, businessmen assured one another that Palo Alto's population had doubled in 10 years, up from 4,500 to at least 8,000.
At Stanford University, it seemed the hard times following Jane Stanford's death in 1905 were finally over. The buildings damaged by the great earthquake had been replaced and enrollment had topped 2,000. And at least some former San Franciscans frightened by the earthquake took Palo Alto up on its post-temblor promotion aimed at convincing shaky city dwellers to move down the "safe" Peninsula. The town now had an estimated 200 commuters who took the hour-long train tide to the city each working day. To top it off, an agriculturist had just published an article trumpeting the new that Palo Alto was about to become the milk goat capital of the world.
So when the official census count showed the population of Palo Alto to be only 5,900, the townspeople were outraged. They did what true Palo Altans of any age would do in the same situation: They debated demanding a recount. Only the fact that the neighboring town of Mayfield had grown even less, up 87 people from 1,040 to 1,127, finally assuaged feelings.
In 1920, attracting new residents was still a foremost goal of the small town near the great university. In its 26 years of incorporation, Palo Alto had grown into a pleasant place full of pleasant homes, many of them owned by Stanford faculty members.
In other words, around Palo Alto the '20s didn't exactly roar, but they did engage in an animated conversation.
[edit] Prohibition
When Prohibition came about in 1920, Palo Alto was more than ready. As one booster in the '20s put it, "The saloon and the blind pig (a place that sold liquor illegally) have never existed in Palo Alto, so that the police department does not occupy a prominent place in the city's administration."
Property owners in Palo Alto faced strict controls when it came to bootlegging. Deeds to property in the "Hopkins Tract" all stated that if the property owner, his heirs or his assigns "shall at any time manufacture or sell, to be used as a beverage, any intoxicating liquor, or permit the same to be done on the premises thereby occupied, this deed shall be void and the premises revert to and become the absolute property of the devisor." Until 1922, that devisor was Timothy Hopkins and his wife, Mary. In 1922, the assignation was shifted to the Stanford Board of Trustees.
But in Menlo Park, the saloon and the blind pig did exist, even through Prohibition. Newspapers of the day periodically carried reports like this one, published in 1922:
- "The agents raided two places at Menlo Park, one on complaint of Stanford University officials, who said students had become intoxicated in the place. The Menlo Park Cafe, where Louis Figone and George L. Condor were taken into custody as the proprietors, was the place complained of by the University. Authorities at the Veteran's Hospital also said the disabled soldiers undergoing rehabilitation training there had also been drinking in the establishment. The Oak Villa Inn at Menlo Park was the second place raided and J. Oliver and Bissio arrested as proprietors."
[edit] Boundaries and Incorporating Cities
In the '20s, serious citizens of Menlo Park, Atherton, Palo Alto and Mayfield, the town located near the site of California Avenue today, spent a lot of their spare time debating the boundaries of their towns.
By 1920 Palo Alto was the only settlement to be officially incorporated as a city. Now, the question of which land belonged to which city was a point of intense discussion.
The most intense group were those trying to incorporate Menlo Park and Atherton. Representatives from both areas met throughout the early '20s to discuss becoming one city. The men from Menlo Park were all for including Atherton, but the men from Atherton were by no means convinced.
Finally, after one particularly heated meeting in Menlo Park's Masonic Hall, the Atherton contingent bolted, scrambled through the night to gather enough residents' signatures to incorporate their town and then literally raced the Menlo Park contingent to the courthouse in Redwood City in the morning. Atherton won and the city was incorporated. Menlo Park's representatives dragged home to regroup.
Menlo Park residents despaired of ever incorporating the town. In a fit of frustration, the Menlo Park Chamber of Commerce went on the record in January 1927 as advocating a bill before the state Legislature that would allow Palo Alto to annex Menlo Park, even though the two communities were in different counties.
The move would "prevent Menlo Park from becoming what it now is becoming," the chamber thundered, "the dumping ground of the Peninsula!"
The chamber's stand seemed to give Menlo Park residents the push they needed, since most residents stood staunchly against joining with Palo Alto. Later that same year, the town was incorporated.
[edit] Mayfield becomes a part of Palo Alto
As debate over incorporating Menlo Park raged, residents of Mayfield were wondering whether they should allow the town to be annexed to Palo Alto. But residents of Palo Alto weren't sure they approved of their southern neighbors. Mayfield had approached Palo Alto 10 years earlier, in 1915, and had been gently dissuaded from seeking annexation by the Palo Altans. Now it was 1924, and Mayfield wanted to pave its streets.
Representatives of both towns formed an annexation committee, and Palo Alto made it clear to Mayfield that it would not pay for the street paving, annexation or no. In May 1925, Mayfield's citizens voted to become part of Palo Alto. In July, the Palo Altans voted to accept Mayfield. And, despite the objections of a committee formed to keep Mayfield out, Palo Alto now had a north and a south.
The town of Mayfield, centered in what is now the California Avenue business district, predated Palo Alto by some 40 years, being established in 1855. Symbolically and realistically cut off from Stanford, Mayfield suffered while its upstart neighbor, Palo Alto, prospered. When the Mayfield city officials finally outlawed the saloons in 1905, the town's reputation improved. As Palo Alto and Mayfield started growing toward each other, talk began of annexation.
The issue was hotly debated in the newspapers of that time, the Mayfield News and the Palo Alto Times. On Oct. 8, 1924, Mayfield voters rejected annexation by 26 votes. On May 8, 1925, however, annexation won at the Mayfield polls by a 69-vote margin, setting the stage for Palo Alto voters to follow suit.
In the two months between the Mayfield and Palo Alto annexation elections the newspapers were full of letters to the editor and editorials on the subject.
Editorial headlines included "Don't Get Wild Eyed," "Mayfield Ahead!" and "Every Contention one Side of the Mayfield Question Has Its Counter Statement on the Other."
"The Mayfield that seeks to be annexed to Palo Alto is not the Mayfield of 20 or 30 years ago with her wealth of saloons that period," noted a Times editorial from May 10, 1925. "It is rather a regenerated Mayfield that has long since abandoned her saloon-day past and walked straight...along the path of progressive development."
On July 2, 1925, Palo Alto voters overwhelmingly approved the annexation of Mayfield. After legal papers were filed with the state, the two communities were officially consolidated on July 6, 1925.
The Mayfield News trumpeted its displeasure four days later:
- "It is with a feeling of deep regret that we see on our streets today those who would sell, or give, our beautiful little city to an outside community. We have watched Mayfield grow from a small hamlet, when Palo Alto was nothing more than a hayfield, to her present size . . . and it is with a feeling of sorrow that we contemplate the fact that there are those who would sell or give the city away."
[edit] Around Stanford
On Stanford campus, construction of sports facilities surged. In 1921, 100 teams of horses and mules pulling scrapers moved 232,000 cubic yards of earth to create Stanford Stadium. Construction was finished in time for the annual Big Game against California. Encina Pavilion was built for basketball in 1922 and the Sunken Diamond, for baseball games, was finished in 1925 in the pit left after a stadium project.
In between sports facility construction projects, university President Ray Lyman Wilbur pushed Stanford toward becoming a true, outward-looking university instead of the fairly insulated, regional school it became during the hard years after Mrs. Stanford's death. Wilbur expanded graduate study at the university, reorganized the independent departments into schools and promoted faculty research.
[edit] Herbert Hoover and Stanford
When Herbert Hoover became the 31st president of the United States, he became Stanford University's most famous alumnus. But Hoover had the great misfortune to be elected in 1928, less than a year before the stock market crash triggered the Great Depression that would dominate his presidency.
Hoover's ties to Stanford University were strong enough that he once aspired to be Stanford's president, and when he was nominated for the nation's presidency by the Republicans in l928, he gave his acceptance speech from his campus residence. That residence, known as the Hoover House, is now home to Stanford presidents. He also established a library for the study of war, revolution and peace at Stanford.
Hoover also has a claim to being Stanford's very first student. He was part of the "pioneer" class that enrolled in 1891. He later said he was the first student to sleep in the men's dormitory (Encina Hall) before the university was formally opened "and so may be said to be its first student."
Hoover biographer David Burner notes that Hoover, a geology student, was class treasurer and financial manager of the athletic association. As such, he arranged Stanford's first football game with Berkeley and helped build a baseball diamond and stands. He was also involved with various money-making ventures as a student, partially because he was an orphan without much money.
Hoover's post-Stanford career included a successful stint as manager of a gold mine in Australia and of mines in China and South America, along with involvement in a company that explored for oil deposits.
His organizational bent and his Quaker background were instrumental in catapulting him to international prominence during World War I when he organized the Commission for Relief in Belgium, which supplied food to the German-occupied country.
His work in Belgium led to his selection to President Woodrow Wilson's War Council in 1916 as United States Food Administrator, and his political career was off and running - until it was derailed by the events of 1929.

A beautiful book to browse, this volume was written to record the recreation of the Susan Constant, the Godspeed's sister ship, in 1992.
As commander-in-chief of His Majesty's ships and vessels in the West Indies, Admiral Hornblower faces pirates, revolutionaries, and a blistering hurricane in the chaotic aftermath of the Napoleonic Wars.
What was it like when Britain ruled the waves, but pirates haunted the coasts of colonial America? In this maritime history, Rediker examines a dangerous, adventurous brotherhood of the sea.
A man wrongly punished for treason escapes from slavery in the West Indies to become a savvy pirate, yet he longs for the plantation owner's niece.
In an exciting novel set in the age of sail, one of the first Scotsmen to command a ship in Nelson's navy battles Spanish and French enemies, as well dangerous seas and his volatile crew, to establish a reputation for himself.
In this epic, the Chesapeake Bay region gets Michener's novel treatment. From Indians to religious pilgrims, from pirates to slave holders, from Quakers to desperate Irish immigrants, the people come in and make their mark on the windy marshes and tidal basins of the Chesapeake Bay.
Harry Ludlow, forced out of the Royal Navy, becomes a privateer in partnership with his younger brother James. But for the Ludlows, murder and intrigue take more of their time than hunting fat trading vessels. Harry and James find themselves aboard the Navy's 74-gun Magnanime. In command is a captain with whom Harry has crossed swords in the past. When James is found standing over the body of a dead officer, Harry's feud shifts into the background.
First of the Privateersman mystery series.
A superb account of the traditions and legends of the people who live by the sea; their beliefs and superstitions about boatbuilding, the weather, creatures real and legendary, the ghosts and saints and demons that surround and influence their lives. (Publisher's description)
This, the first in the splendid series of Jack Aubrey novels, establishes the friendship between Captain Aubrey, R.N., and Stephen Maturin, ship's surgeon and intelligence agent, against a thrilling backdrop of the Napoleonic wars. Details of life aboard a man-of-war are faultlessly rendered: the conversational idiom of the officers in the ward room and the men on the lower deck, the food, the floggings, the mysteries of the wind and the rigging, and the roar of broadsides as the great ships close in battle.
The thrilling account of the strange, eventful, and tragic voyage of His Majesty's Ship Bounty in 1788-1789, which culminated in Fletcher Christian's mutiny against Captain Bligh.
