The Hedgehog and the Hare: The Brothers Grimm
No full textSince a version of this fable appears as Perry 649, I will include this lovely little book. This hare is particularly contemptuous of the hedgehog. Watson cleverly writes of the hedgehog's anger he can bear anything but an attack on his legs, just because they are crooked by nature (12). When they have bet, the hedgehog cleverly asks for a half-hour to go home and eat breakfast before the actual race. Watson introduces the farmer early by having the hedgehog go out on a Sunday morning to see how his turnips were coming along in the farmer's garden. A few pages later, we begin to see the furrows of the farm itself. At the start of the race (20), we see the full extent of the field's furrows. A race lasts one furrow, and the hare keeps asking for a rerun until they have completed seventy-three runs. Watson has the hedgehog keep tally on a rock. (The tally is correct, by the way!) Finally the hare gives up before he can finish the seventy-fourth. Because the copies have slightly different covers and there is varying wear on the inside, I will keep both in the collection.This is a hardbound book (hard cover)Apparent first printingAdapted and Illustrated by Wendy Watso

Stems erect, monosiphonic, to 5 mm long, typically unbranched, but sometimes with a single short side branch, basal segment of hydrocladium of same diameter as stolon, beginning with one, sometimes two athecate internodes of variable length with a strong transverse node followed by a longer internode with long oblique distal joint, two or three nematothecae in a line along internode.</p> <p>Hydrocladium comprising alternate long, slender hydrothecate and ahydrothecate internodes; ahydrothecate internode usually the longer, ahydrothecate internode with a transverse to weakly oblique proximal node, sometimes marked only by an indentation in perisarc, distal node long, oblique, ending just below floor of hydrotheca.</p> <p>Hydrotheca cup-shaped, set at an angle of 40–45° to hydrocladial axis, walls straight to slightly expanding, abcauline wall thicker than adcauline, margin transverse to hydrothecal axis, weakly everted, perisarc thinning distally to margin, rim entire, floor of hydrotheca concave, a foramen connecting with internode at base of abcauline wall.</p> <p>Ahydrothecate internode with one median nematotheca almost central on internode, nematotheca bithalamic, base stout, almost adnate to internode, cup reduced to a triangle; three nematothecae on hydrothecate internode, one inferior median, bithalamic, base stout, closely adnate to internode, cup similar to median; twin lateral nematothecae not reaching hydrothecal margin, basal chamber cylindrical, about same length as nematotheca, basal chamber of nematotheca elongate conical, cup wide and shallow, reduced on side facing hydrotheca; median superior nematotheca bithalamic, beak-shaped with stout base, tucked below hydrotheca. Hydrorhiza with scattered nematothecae similar to laterals, but with longer bases.</p> <p>Male gonotheca facing forward along hydrocladium, borne on a pedicel of two or three short segments beside median inferior nematotheca; kidney-shaped to ovoid, walls smooth, perisarc thin; one long conical nematotheca above base, basal chamber of nematotheca long, narrow, cup shallow saucer-shaped. Aperture of gonotheca terminal, circular, slightly oblique to gonothecal axis, operculum a sheet of tissue. Female similar to male, but with two large nematothecae near base, gonophores developing into a single large planula at maturity.</p> <p>Cnidome comprising two categories of nematocysts:</p> <p>i) microbasic mastigophore (?p-mastigophore), capsule bean-shaped, 16– 17 x 10–12 µm, shaft 10–12 µm, inflated about mid length to distal third with two rows of spines, thread thick, moderately long, abundant, site unknown.</p> <p>ii)?isorhiza, capsule small, pyriform, 4– 6 x 2–3 µm, thread thick, moderately long, site unknown.</p> <p>Colour of colonies pale creamy yellow.</p> <p>Hydrocladium</p> <p>basal length of athecate internode 120–320 basal length of nematothecate internode 360–624 diameter of internode 56–64 basal length of nematothecate internode 240–312 basal length of hydrothecate internode 200–224 width at transverse node 48–52 length of abcauline wall 152–160 length of free adcauline wall 112–120 diameter at rim 176–192</p> <p>Nematotheca</p> <p>median, athecate segment, length base 30–40 median, abcauline depth of cup 20–26 median inferior, length base 40–58 median inferior, abcauline depth of cup 28–30 lateral, length of pedicel 50–58 lateral, length of base to cup 24–36 width cup, lateral view 50–51 median superior, length 24–36 gonothecal, length of base 64–88 gonothecal, length of base 80–82 gonothecal, depth of cup 32–40</p> <p>Gonotheca</p> <p>female, length of pedicel 56– 72 female, length 432– 456 female, maximum width 240– 280 male, length of pedicel 80– 11 male, length, excluding pedicel 448– 560 male, maximum width 256–280</p> <p> <b>Remarks.</b> Six species of <i>Antennella</i> are reported from Australia: <i>A. secundaria</i> (Gmelin, 1791), <i>A. tubulosa</i> (Bale, 1894), <i>A. campanulaformis</i> (Mulder & Trebilcock, 1909) and <i>A. microscopica</i> (Mulder & Trebilcock, 1909), <i>A. dubia</i> Stechow, 1923b and <i>A. siliquosa</i> Stechow, 1923b.</p> <p> In a review of the family Halopterididae Schuchert (1997) examined the type specimen of <i>A. microscopica</i> but found it too fragmentary for confident recognition. No more material of <i>A. microscopica</i> has been found; it is likely to be a poorly preserved specimen of another species of <i>Antennella</i>. <i>A. tubulosa</i> is a rare species which has been recorded only twice, once from the type locality of Port Phillip (Bale 1894) and from Pearson Island in the eastern Great Australian Bight (Watson 1973). Schuchert (1997) redescribed <i>A. campanulaformis</i> from Mulder & Trebilcock’s type material and included <i>A. dubia</i> and <i>A. siliquosa</i> from Western Australia in its synonymy.</p> <p> <i>A. secundaria</i> is a widely distributed species in southern Australia (Stechow 1923b; Watson (1973, 1997, 2000, 2002, 2003), Queensland (Pennycuik 1959) and northern Australia (Watson 2000). Schuchert (1997) considered <i>A. secundaria</i> to be a very variable species with one to three median nematothecae on the ahydrothecate internode, suggesting it may prove to be a group of species.</p> <p> The finding of the present material led to re-examination of the author’s extensive collection of <i>Antennella</i> from southeastern Australia. While many specimens bear two to three median inferior nematothecae on the ahydrothecate internode, some from various localities consistently bore only one on a long, slender internode; it is here recognised as a new species, <i>Antennella singulata</i>. <i>A</i>. <i>singulata</i> is closely related to but is distinguished from <i>A. secundaria</i> by the single median nematotheca on the ahydrothecate internode.</p> <p> <i>Antennella singulata</i> occurs on a variety of substrates including soft sponges, mussel shells and algae.</p> <p> <b>Etymology.</b> Named for the single nematotheca on the ahydrothecate internode.</p> <p> <b>Distribution.</b> Western Port, Port Phillip and south-eastern Australian coast to Port Kembla, New South Wales.</p>Published as part of <i>Watson, Jeanette E., 2011, New species, new records and redescriptions of Thecate hydroids (Cnidaria: Hydrozoa: Leptothecata) from Southern Australia, pp. 1-36 in Zootaxa 3122</i> on pages 15-18, DOI: <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/203966">10.5281/zenodo.203966</a>
A Boyer-Moore (or Watson-Watson) type algorithm for regular tree pattern matching
No full textIn this chapter, I outline a new algorithm for regular tree pattern matching. The existence of this algorithm was first mentioned in the statements accompanying my dissertation, [2]. In order to avoid repeating the material in my dissertation, it is assumed that the reader is familiar with Chapters 4 and 5 of the dissertation.

The Review of Economic Performance and Social Progress 2002: Towards a Social Understanding of Productivity
No full textIn this chapter, William Watson challenges Heath's interpretation of the benefits of productivity growth, but agrees with Richard Harris' views on the state of our knowledge about the potential contribution of social programs to productivity growth. Watson tackles Heath's assessment of the social benefits of productivity growth directly, starting with the issues of social inequality and poverty. He argues that there has been no flagging in redistributive effort in Canada and he challenges what he sees as Heath's preference for enhancing public expenditures, emphasizing the scope for government failures and of the possibility that higher tax rates in the contemporary period have increased the marginal cost of public funds. Even if one were able to resolve the question of the appropriate balance between the public and private sectors, Watson believes that the case for higher productivity would remain compelling. Without powerful analytical guidance, Watson concludes that reform of social policy will inevitably be guided primarily by intuition, politics and hunches. In these circumstances, he counsels modesty in aspirations.Equity, Efficiency, Productivity, Labour Productivity, Labor Productivity, Growth, Income, Inequality, Equality, Social Policy, Happiness, Poverty, Leisure, Government, Investment, Fairness, Spending, Government Spending, Government Expenditure, Expenditure, Taxes, Tax, Quality of Life
