The Tombigbee River
(My mother's name was Julia, and my sisters used to sing this song to her, and said that was my father had sang it to her, when she was a girl."
On the Tombigbee River so bright I was born,
In a hut made of husks of the tall yellow corn The days I met with my Julia so true,
Nights we rode round in my brush-tree canoe.
Chorus:
Then row your boat lightly, love, over the sea, Daily and nightly I'll wander with thee,
With a hand on my banjo and a toe to my oar,
I will sing to the sound of the river's soft roar.
While starts they looked down on my Julia so true,
As I rode her around in my brush-tree canoe.

Sharing, Gift-Giving, and Optimal Resource Use Incentives in Hunter-Gatherer Society
No full textIn the typical hunter-gatherer society, decision-making is collective, yet decentralized, access to resources is shared, goods are typically distributed via reciprocal exchange, sharing, and gift-giving, and the distribution of both income and decision-making power is egalitarian. We argue these features are interrelated. We adopt an incentive-based view of sharing and gift-giving, in which the fundamental role of sharing and gift-giving is to implement socially desirable production decisions in the face of a common resource use problem. We show how this system decentralizes decision-making, while at the same time encouraging agents to make production decisions in the best interests of the group. Sharing rules give agents optimal use incentives, while gift-giving obligations give agents incentives to reveal private information about skill. The system has some interesting properties; for example, it may result in a relatively equal distribution of income, even though the productive capabilities of agents differ. Our theory is also able to account for some features of the ethnographic record that do not jibe well with existing theories of sharing; for example, why the rather extensive free-riding on the efforts of the most productive agents is typically tolerated in hunter-gatherer society.

Two Little Wandering Orphans
(Row Us Over the Tide)
Two little wandering orphans one day,
Down by the lone river side,
Ventured at last to the boatman and pled,
Row us over the tide.
Row us over the tide,
Row us over the tide;
Papa and mamma have gone on before,
Row us over the tide.
Jesus so full of compassion and love
Answered the little ones' cries,
Took them to heaven to sorrow no more;
He rowed them over the tide.
Two little faces we no more shall see,
Sweetly they sleep side by side;
Jesus so full of compassion and love,
He rowed them over the tide.
He rowed them over the tide.
He rowed them over the tide.
Took them to heaven with loved ones to dwell,
He rowed them over the tide.Funding for digitization provided by the Arkansas Humanities Council and the Happy Hollow Foundation

American Legion Junior Cloggers
No full textThis 1965 photograph shows the American Legion Junior Cloggers of Hendersonville, North Carolina. The children are listed from left to right: (first row) Susie Thompson, Jeanette Hudgins, Judy Kilpatrick, Sharon Edney, Gail Edney, Jonie Edney, Juanita Thompson, Donna Griffin ; (second row) Steve Corn, Eddie Hudgins, Terry Brock, Jimmy Stepp, Pat Lanning, Wayne Edney ; (third row) Jimmy Jones, Jimmy Sinclair, Pat Corn, and Ronnie Thompson. Founder and director of the Mountain Youth Jamboree, Hubert H. Hayes (1901-1964) auditioned and directed youth to perform in folk dance, music, and folk and ballad singing. The jamboree was held in the Asheville City Auditorium (now known as Thomas Wolfe Auditorium) from 1948 to 1973, and Hayes’ wife, Leona Trantham Hayes (1913-1989) continued to direct the program after his death in 1964. Hubert Hayes was an author, playwright, and alumni of Duke University
Decoding of Cluster Array Errors in Row-Cyclic Array Codes

The Dying Cowboy
When once in my saddle I used to go dashing,
When once in my saddle I used to be gay,
I first took to drinking and then to card playing,
Got shot in the breast and I know I must die.
Chorus:
Then carry me to the graveyard and th row the sod o'er me,
I'm only a cowboy, I know I've done wrong.
Go call all around you a crowd of young cowboys,
And tell to them of their comrade's sad fate;
Go tell to one another before you go farther
To stop the wild roving before it's too late.
(Chorus)
Someone write a letter to my gray-haired mother,
And break the sad news to my sister dear;
But, oh, there's another more dearer than a sister,
Who'd bitterly weep if she knew I were here.

Vineyard row orientation of Vitis vinifera L. cv. Shiraz/101-14 Mgt: climatic profiles and vine physiological status
No full textEstablishment of vineyards is often forced towards geo-morphologically complex terroir where aspect, slope, relief and erosion are determining factors in orientation of rows. In this novel study, changes in primarily microclimate profiles and vine physiological behaviour with different row orientations were studied on a flat terrain in a semi-arid environment with the purpose of aiding vineyard management decisions and practices for production of grapes and wine. Effects of grapevine row orientation (NS, EW, NE-SW, NW-SE) of vertically trellised and shoot positioned Vitis vinifera L. Shiraz/101-14 Mgt on vineyard meso- and microclimate as well as vine physiological status, within the context of regional macroclimate, were investigated under field conditions over many seasons. Novel wind velocity and direction profiles in vineyard rows showed velocity in work rows paralleling ambient prevailing wind and direction flow patterns being affected by canopy development and row orientation; NW-SE and EW orientated rows maintained higher wind velocity in work rows than NS and NE-SW rows. Mesoclimatic photosynthetic active radiation was in line with macroclimate radiation. Microclimatically, EW orientated rows maintained lowest interior canopy light interception, NS orientation displayed highest values, peaking in morning and afternoon, whereas NE-SW and NW-SE orientations peaked primarily in afternoon and morning, respectively. The EW orientated rows captured largest portion of total radiation in the bunch zone from soil reflected radiation. Canopy interior temperature differences were likely masked by air temperature. Basal leaf water potential was relatively unaffected by row side; results point to internal regulation of whole plant water status. Leaf temperature showed minor differences. Relative humidity followed opposite trends to those of air- and leaf temperature. Leaves of EW orientated vines had highest average photosynthesis, corresponding to stomatal conductance and transpiration. Most uniform canopy photosynthesis occurred for NS and NW-SE orientations. Photosynthesis trends practically demonstrated mirror diurnal images for canopy sides of each orientation. Row orientation significantly affected meso- and microclimate, radiation in particular directly affecting energy/heat balances and concomitant canopy physiological processes. The study provided new insights into: vine physiological response to row orientation, the role of row orientation as viticulture practice; decision-making for establishment; and management of existing vineyards, irrespective of terroir soil and climatic conditions and product objectives. Results are globally relevant, especially within the context of climate change, and provide first comprehensive climatic/grapevine physiological evidence on the impact of grapevine row orientation as viticulture practic
