    Nellie Lost & Found

    Get PDF
    [Verse 1]Ten o\u27clock! the rain begins to fall,And Nellie still from home!Vainly now, her loving name we call,Oh whither does she roam?Can it be she wanders from the street,Thro\u27 the wood to find her onely way,Bless the child!I fear her little feet Have carried her astray. [Chorus]Wake the boys to search for \u27Nellie!Stay not for the dawn;Who shall sleep when from the mother\u27s foldOne little lamb is gone! [Verse 2]Eleven o\u27clock! the little brothers wait,Still hoping her return;Peeping through the lattice of the gate,Their darling to discern.Weary now they turn them to the door,While their tears, for lips that not are dumb,Ask the question often asked before,Oh mother, will she come? [Chorus] [Verse 3]Twelve o\u27clock! and in the forest wild,What terrors the hour!Who can tell what foes surround the child ,Or shield her from their power?Storms to face and torrents to be cross\u27d,Beasts of prey that in the darkness roam;Would to God that only I were lost, And Nellie safe at home! [Chorus] [Verse 4]One o\u27clock! me thinks I hear a voice,With tidings in its tone!Does it bid this trembling heart rejoice,Or sorrow makes it known?Still I hear that midnight echo stirr\u27d,Surely too, it bears a joyful sound;Praise the Lord! a mother\u27s prayer is heard,The darling one is found! [Chorus for last verse]Thro\u27 the wood the midnight echoes Bear a joyful sound;Praise the Lord! a mother\u27s prayer is heard,The darling one is found

Chorus: Look out dar, now! We\u27s a gwine to shoot! Look out dar - don\u27t you understand? Babylon is fallen! Babylon is fallen! And we\u27s a gwine to occupy de land. 2. Don\u27t you see de lightnin\u27 Flashin\u27 in de canebrake Like as if we gwine to hab a storm? No! you is mistaken \u27Tis de darkey\u27s bay\u27nets, An\u27 de buttons on dar uniform. 3. Way up in de cornfield, Whar you hear de tunder Dat is our ole forty-pounder gun When de shells are missin\u27, Den we load wid punkins All de same to make de cowards run. 4. Massa was de Kernel In de rebel army, Ebber sence we went an\u27 run away; But his lubley darkeys, Dey has been a watchin\u27 An\u27 dey take him pris\u27ner tudder day. 5. We will be de massa, He will be de servant - Try him how he like it for a spell; So we crack de Butt\u27nutts. So we take de Kernel, So de cannon carry back de shell

Aquatic Microbial Ecology, 86, (2021): 115–136, https://doi.org/10.3354/ame01961.Microorganisms are central to the functioning of coral reef ecosystems, but their dynamics are unstudied on most reefs. We examined the microbial ecology of shallow reefs within the Federated States of Micronesia. We surveyed 20 reefs surrounding 7 islands and atolls (Yap, Woleai, Olimarao, Kosrae, Kapingamarangi, Nukuoro, and Pohnpei), spanning 875053 km2. On the reefs, we found consistently higher coral coverage (mean ± SD = 36.9 ± 22.2%; max 77%) compared to macroalgae coverage (15.2 ± 15.5%; max 58%), and low abundances of fish. Reef waters had low inorganic nutrient concentrations and were dominated by Synechococcus, Prochlorococcus, and SAR11 bacteria. The richness of bacterial and archaeal communities was significantly related to interactions between island/atoll and depth. High coral coverage on reefs was linked to higher relative abundances of Flavobacteriaceae, Leisingera, Owenweeksia, Vibrio, and the OM27 clade, as well as other heterotrophic bacterial groups, consistent with communities residing in waters near corals and within coral mucus. Microbial community structure at reef depth was significantly correlated with geographic distance, suggesting that island biogeography influences reef microbial communities. Reefs at Kosrae Island, which hosted the highest coral abundance and diversity, were unique compared to other locations; seawater from Kosrae reefs had the lowest organic carbon (59.8-67.9 µM), highest organic nitrogen (4.5-5.3 µM), and harbored consistent microbial communities (>85% similar), which were dominated by heterotrophic cells. This study suggests that the reef-water microbial ecology on Micronesian reefs is influenced by the density and diversity of corals as well as other biogeographical features.Samples were collected under Federated States of Micronesia collection permits FM12-11-03S and FM12-11-05S.

    A systematic review of different models of home and community care services for older persons

    <p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Costs and consumer preference have led to a shift from the long-term institutional care of aged older people to home and community based care. The aim of this review is to evaluate the outcomes of case managed, integrated or consumer directed home and community care services for older persons, including those with dementia.</p> <p>Methods</p> <p>A systematic review was conducted of non-medical home and community care services for frail older persons. MEDLINE, PsycINFO, CINAHL, AgeLine, Scopus and PubMed were searched from 1994 to May 2009. Two researchers independently reviewed search results.</p> <p>Results</p> <p>Thirty five papers were included in this review. Evidence from randomized controlled trials showed that case management improves function and appropriate use of medications, increases use of community services and reduces nursing home admission. Evidence, mostly from non-randomized trials, showed that integrated care increases service use; randomized trials reported that integrated care does not improve clinical outcomes. The lowest quality evidence was for consumer directed care which appears to increase satisfaction with care and community service use but has little effect on clinical outcomes. Studies were heterogeneous in methodology and results were not consistent.</p> <p>Conclusions</p> <p>The outcomes of each model of care differ and correspond to the model's focus. Combining key elements of all three models may maximize outcomes.</p

    Lawson criterion for ignition exceeded in an inertial fusion experiment

    For more than half a century, researchers around the world have been engaged in attempts to achieve fusion ignition as a proof of principle of various fusion concepts. Following the Lawson criterion, an ignited plasma is one where the fusion heating power is high enough to overcome all the physical processes that cool the fusion plasma, creating a positive thermodynamic feedback loop with rapidly increasing temperature. In inertially confined fusion, ignition is a state where the fusion plasma can begin "burn propagation" into surrounding cold fuel, enabling the possibility of high energy gain. While "scientific breakeven" (i.e., unity target gain) has not yet been achieved (here target gain is 0.72, 1.37 MJ of fusion for 1.92 MJ of laser energy), this Letter reports the first controlled fusion experiment, using laser indirect drive, on the National Ignition Facility to produce capsule gain (here 5.8) and reach ignition by nine different formulations of the Lawson criterion
