My Father\u27s Growing Old

[Verse 1]O! when I gaze upon his face,That once was young and fair,I almost weep to think that ageCould leave its image there,he stood the many storms of lifeThat round his pathway rolled,He\u27s resting in life\u27s sunshine nowMy Father\u27s growing old. [Chorus]I sit beside his easy chair,His and in mine I hold,He breathes his life yet sweetly there;My father\u27s growing old. [Verse 2]O! who can tell a father\u27s love,When age bringson decay,The form grows weak, the eyes are dim,The mind fades fast away,\u27Till after a while life\u27s sun goes downThe story then is told;Time whispers gently in my earMy father\u27s growing old. [Chorus] [Verse 3]His journey to the grave is short,His work is almost done,His tot\u27ring limbs grow weaker still,His race is nearly run;Old age deserts him on the road,He waits for death to come,he\u27s lost upon the Shores of Time,But Angels lead him home. [Chorus

Take this Letter to my Mother

[Verse 1] Take this letter to my mother,Far across the deep blue sea,It will fill her hear with pleasure,She’ll be glad to hear from me.How she wept when last we parted,How her heart was filled with pain,When she said, “good-bye, God bless you,We may never meet again.” [Chorus] Take this letter to my mother,Far across the deep blue sea,It will fill her heart with pleasure,She’ll be glad to hear from me. [Verse 2] Take this letter to my mother,It will fill her heart with joy,Tell her that her prayers are answered,God protects her absent boy.Tell her to be glad and cheerful,Pray for me where’er I roam,And ere long I’ll turn my footstepsBack towards my dear old home, [Chorus] [Verse 3] Take this letter to my mother,It is filled with words of love.If on earth I’ll never meet her,Tell her that we’ll meet above.Where there is no hour of parting,All is peace, and love, and joy,God will bless my dear old mother,And protect her only boy. [Chorus

I\u27ll Remember You, Love, In My Prayers

Refugee

[Verse 1] Farewell mother home and friends, We may never meet again, Soon ‘mid strangers I must roam, Oh! the parting gives me pain, Tho’ I wander far away, Lonely o’er lifes stormy sea; Who will shed one gentle tear, For a wand’ring refguee. Who will shed one gently tear, For a wandr’ing refugee. [Chorus] Mother, oh! farwell! I must go, I’ll think of thee, Oh! Mother, I must leave thee now, I’m a wand’ring refugee. [Verse 2] Farewell sunny southern home, Home I always lov’d so true Oft’ will tear drops dim mine eyes, When my mem’ry flies to you, But the happy scenes of yore, I alas will never see, I’ll be roaming far away A lonely wand’ring refugee. I’ll be roaming far away A lonely wand’ring refugee. [Chorus

Measurements of fiducial and differential cross sections for Higgs boson production in the diphoton decay channel at s√=8 TeV with ATLAS

Measurements of fiducial and differential cross sections are presented for Higgs boson production in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of s√=8 TeV. The analysis is performed in the H → γγ decay channel using 20.3 fb−1 of data recorded by the ATLAS experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. The signal is extracted using a fit to the diphoton invariant mass spectrum assuming that the width of the resonance is much smaller than the experimental resolution. The signal yields are corrected for the effects of detector inefficiency and resolution. The pp → H → γγ fiducial cross section is measured to be 43.2 ±9.4(stat.) − 2.9 + 3.2 (syst.) ±1.2(lumi)fb for a Higgs boson of mass 125.4GeV decaying to two isolated photons that have transverse momentum greater than 35% and 25% of the diphoton invariant mass and each with absolute pseudorapidity less than 2.37. Four additional fiducial cross sections and two cross-section limits are presented in phase space regions that test the theoretical modelling of different Higgs boson production mechanisms, or are sensitive to physics beyond the Standard Model. Differential cross sections are also presented, as a function of variables related to the diphoton kinematics and the jet activity produced in the Higgs boson events. The observed spectra are statistically limited but broadly in line with the theoretical expectations

Measurement of the production of a W boson in association with a charm quark in pp collisions at √s = 7 TeV with the ATLAS detector

The production of a W boson in association with a single charm quark is studied using 4.6 fb−1 of pp collision data at s√ = 7 TeV collected with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. In events in which a W boson decays to an electron or muon, the charm quark is tagged either by its semileptonic decay to a muon or by the presence of a charmed meson. The integrated and differential cross sections as a function of the pseudorapidity of the lepton from the W-boson decay are measured. Results are compared to the predictions of next-to-leading-order QCD calculations obtained from various parton distribution function parameterisations. The ratio of the strange-to-down sea-quark distributions is determined to be 0.96+0.26−0.30 at Q 2 = 1.9 GeV2, which supports the hypothesis of an SU(3)-symmetric composition of the light-quark sea. Additionally, the cross-section ratio σ(W + +c¯¯)/σ(W − + c) is compared to the predictions obtained using parton distribution function parameterisations with different assumptions about the s−s¯¯¯ quark asymmetry
