The Adventure of The Three Watsons
Click each picture to expand.
Sometimes, for reasons that are not always anyone's fault, a Watson does not stay with a Holmes forever. It is a sad fact of life. I know as I speak from experience
But this being said, Holmes are not necessarily more faithful. I cite Ian Hart, Nigel Stock and Nigel Bruce as case point Watson's left alone in the fall out.
But we learn from it, and in time, if the heart is open, sometimes a new Doctor or Detective is found, and a brand new partnership begins.
Which is why today we have 3 (or 4 really) new entrants into the Howard Ostrom Collection. Clive Brook and his three separate Watsons.
Clive Brook (1887 - 1974) would become the first Sherlock Holmes of the talkies in Paramount Pictures "The Return of Sherlock Holmes (1929). H. Reeves Smith (1862 - 1938) was his Dr. Watson.
In a part of the film revue "Paramount on Parade" (1930), Clive Brook would again play Sherlock Holmes as part of 'A Tapestry of Detective Mysteries". in "Sherlock Holmes" (1932) for Fox Film Corp, but this time with Reginald Owens (1887 - 1972) as Dr. Watson.
Then, lo and behold, Reginald Owens would appear as Sherlock Holmes in World Wide Pictures' "A Study in Scarlet" (1933), with Warburton Gamble (1883 - 1945) as Dr. Watson.
Clearly, some men just are not designed to be monogamous Holmes.
For more Holmes and Watsons, typically of a a more faithful nature, be sure to check out the rest of Howard Ostrom Collection here.
"No Place Like Holmes" was founded by Ross K Foad in 2009. It hosts a multitude of video goodness for Sherlock Holmes fans in the form of its episodic Web Drama Comedy Series NPLH.
It also features documentaries, essays of a Holmesian nature, and series/film adaptations of Doyle's other works.
On top of this it is also the virtual host to the SH A-Z index, the most comprehensive collation guide to every Sherlock Holmes actor ever.


Adaptive Strategies the unique way in which each culture uses its particular physical environment; those aspects of culture that serve to provide the necessities of life- food, clothing, shelter, and defense.
Agribusiness Commercial agriculture characterized by integration of different steps in the food-processing industry, usually through ownership by large corporations.
Agricultural Landscape The land that we farm on and what we choose to put were on our fields. Effects how much yield one gets from their plants.
Agricultural Origins Through time nomadic people noticed the growing of plants in a cycle and began to domesticate them and use for there own use. Carl Sauer points out vegetative planting and seed agriculture as the original forms. He also points out that vegetative planting likely was originated in SE Asia and seed agriculture originated in W. India, N. China and Ethiopia. Without the development of agriculture we would still have a relatively small and likely uneducated population.
Biotechnology A form of technology that uses living organisms, usually genes, to modify products, to make or modify plants and animals, or to develop other microorganisms for specific purposes.
Collective Farm Government owned farms, workers were paid by government and they shared profits from products.
Commercial Agriculture Agriculture undertaken primarily to generate products for sale off the farm.
Intensive Agriculture A form of subsistence agriculture in which farmers must expend a relatively large amount of effort to produce the maximum feasible yield from a parcel of land.
Core the portion of a country that contains its economic, political, intellectual, and cultural focus.
Crop Rotation The practice of rotating use of different fields from crop to crop each year, to avoid exhausting the soil.
Dairying An agricultural activity involving the raising of livestock, most commonly cows and goats, for dairy products such as milk, cheese, and butter.
Debt-for-nature Swap Agreement in which a certain amount of foreign debt is canceled in exchange for local currency investments that will improve natural resource management or protect certain areas in the debtor country from harmful development.
Diffusion Movement from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.
Double Cropping Harvesting twice a year from the same field.
Environmental Modification Changes in the ecosystem resulting from human activities such as the use of pesticides, soil erosion, desertification.
Pesticides Any one of various substances used to kill harmful insects (insecticide), fungi (fungicide), vermin, or other living organisms that destroy or inhibit plant growth, carry disease, or are otherwise harmful.
Soil Erosion Movement of soil components, especially topsoil, from one place to another, usually by wind, flowing water, or both. This natural process can be greatly accelerated by human activities that remove vegetation from soil.
Desertification Degradation of land, especially in semiarid areas, primarily because of human actions like excessive crop planting, animal grazing, and tree cutting.
Shifting Cultivation A form of subsistence agriculture in which people shift activity from one field to another; each field is used for crops for relatively few years and left fallow for a relatively long period.
Slash-and-Burn Another name for shifring cultivation, so named because fields are cleared by slashing the vegetation and burning the debris.
Swidden A patch of land cleared for planting through slashing and burning.
Pastoralism A type of agricultural activity based on nomadic animal husbandry or the raising of livestock to provide food, clothing, and shelter.
Farm Crisis The mass production of farm products that lowers the prices, which lowers the profits for farmers. This had led to the decrease in small farms.
Growing Season The season in which crops grow best. Growing season can vary by location, societies rely on their growing season to which crops they can or can't grow at their latitude.
Hunting and Gathering The killing of wild animals and fish as well as the gathering of fruits, roots, nuts, and other plants for sustenance.
Intensive Subsistence Agriculture A form of subsistence agriculture in which farmers must expend a relatively large amount of effort to produce the maximum feasible yield from a parcel of land.
Livestock Ranching An extensive commercial agricultural activity that involves the raising of livestock over vast geographic spaces typically located in semi-arid climates like the American West.
Market Gardening The small scale production of fruits, vegetables, and flowers as cash crops sold directly to local consumers. Distinguishable by the large diversity of crops grown on a small area of land, during a single growing season. Labor is done manually.
Mineral Fuels Natural resources containing hydrocarbons, which are not derived from animal or plant sources.
Nonrenewable A natural resource that cannot be replaced or that can be replaced only over thousands or millions of years.
Rural Settlement Sparsely settled places away from the influence of large cities. Live in villages, hamlets on farms, or in other isolated houses. Typically have an agricultural character, with an economy based on logging, mining, petroleum, natural gas or tourism (ecotourism).
Dispersed Settlement characterized by a lower density of population and the wide spacing of individual homesteads.
Building Material Settlements houses and buildings are typically built from materials that are abundant in the area.
Second Agricultural Revolution Dovetailing with and benefiting from the Industrial Revolution, the Second Agricultural Revolution witnessed improved methods of cultivation, harvesting, and storage of farm produce.
Staple Grains Maize, wheat, and rice are the most produced grains produced world wide, accounting for 87% of all grains and 43% of all food. Maize staple food of North America, South American, Africa, and livestock worldwide, wheat is primary in temperate regions, and rice in tropical regions.
Suitcase Farm In American commercial grain agriculture, a farm on which no one lives; planting and harvesting is done by hired migratory crews.
Long Lots A system of farming where lots up to a half mile or more extend back from a river, which farmers use as their primary means of hauling their agricultural products to the market.
Metes and Bounds A method of land description which involves identifying distances and directions and makes use of both the physical boundaries and measurements of the land.
Mechanization In agriculture, the replacement of human labor with technology or machines.
Chemical Farming Increased use of fertilizers with nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. The development of higher-yield crops has produced: a 'miracle wheat seed" which is shorter and stiffer, less sensitive to variation in day length, responds better to fertilizers, and matures faster; a similar miracle rice seed, that was heartier and has increased yields; a high-yield corn seed is currently being developed.
Transhumance The seasonal migration of livestock between mountains and lowland pastures.
Truck Farm Commercial gardening and fruit farming, so named because truck was a Middle English word meaning batering or the exchange of commodities.
Von Thunen, Johann Heinrich German farmer who initially proposed model which suggested the trend of crop location in commercial farming.

Lufthansa retires six A380s early for reduced post-crisis fleet
By Cirium2020-04-07T17:39:00+01:00
Lufthansa is prematurely phasing out six Airbus A380s as part of fleet cuts across the airline group in preparation for an operational restart with reduced capacity when the coronavirus crisis recedes.
Under a previous plan, Lufthansa intended to return six of its 14 A380s to Airbus in 2022 as part of an order for more A350s disclosed in 2019. But now the group says that the aircraft will be "permanently decommissioned" alongside seven A340-600s, five 747-400s and 11 Lufthansa-operated A320s because of the coronavirus crisis.
The phase-out plan is part of a "first" permanent capacity reduction, the group says.
It foresees a "significant decline" in air travel once flights are resumed. Lufthansa says: "It will take months until the global travel restrictions are completely lifted and years until the worldwide demand for air travel returns to pre-crisis levels."
The airline cites "environmental as well as economic disadvantages" for the phase-out of the A340-600s and 747-400s versus other aircraft.
Cirium fleets data shows that Lufthansa's fleet includes 20 A340-600s, 17 A340-300s, 13 747-400s and 19 747-8s. All of the A340-600s, 12 A340-300s, nine 747-400s and 14 747-8s are listed as being in storage.
Lufthansa's regional CityLine unit, which has operated since 2015 some A340-300s for the mainline on touristic routes, will phase out three of the long-haul jets, the group says.
In addition to the 11 Lufthansa-operated A320s, low-cost unit Eurowings will decommission another 10 A320s from its fleet and reduce its long-haul operation.
Germanwings – another budget unit operating as part of Eurowings's network – will be altogether discontinued, Lufthansa confirms. Cirium fleets data shows Germanwings has four A319s and five A320s.
Lufthansa says that a previous plan to bundle Eurowings' multiple operations into a single unit will be "accelerated".
Meanwhile, restructuring programmes for group subsidiaries Austrian Airlines and Brussels Airlines will be "further intensified". As part of the efforts, the two carriers are evaluating fleet reductions, Lufthansa notes.
Austrian foresees that once regular flights resume, travel demand will be 50-75% lower than during the 2019 summer season. Earlier this month, Austrian extended its operational shutdown until at least 1 May.
The Vienna-based carrier says it "anticipates a significant reduction in demand [also] for 2021 and the 'pre-corona level' will probably not be reached until 2023 at the earliest".
Austrian notes it is holding talks with the country's government, Lufthansa and social partners to prepare the company for "a reorientation and adaption… to the changed travel behaviour".
Chief executive Alexis von Hoensbroech states: "The extent to which this will take place has not yet been finally defined and also depends on the further development of the crisis."
Sister carrier Swiss, meanwhile, will "adjust" its fleet size by delaying deliveries of short-haul aircraft and potential early retirement of older aircraft.
Lufthansa says it wants to "quickly" begin discussion with unions and staff representatives to "keep as many jobs as possible" within the group. Talks will cover "new employment models… among other things", the carrier adds.
Early retirements in crises: a new normal?
Across the world, airlines are considering bringing forward the retirement of older aircraft types. When the coronavirus outbreak finally abates, the question will remain if these accelerated retirements represent an anomaly, or a "new normal".
Indigo Partners founder banks on vaccine-led airline recovery
The co-founder of Indigo Partners, the private equity firm that holds stakes in several airlines from the USA to Hungary, has expressed his optimism that Covid-19 vaccines will lead to a recovery of leisure and VFR traffic in the second half of this year.

This paper explores the relationship between dynamic consistency and existing notions of unambiguous events for Choquet expected utility preferences. A decision maker is faced with an information structure represented by a filtration. We show that the decision maker's preferences respect dynamic consistency on a fixed filtration if and only if the last stage of the filtration is composed of unambiguous events in the sense of Nehring (Math Social Sci 38:197–213, 1999). Adopting two axioms, conditional certainty equivalence consistency and constrained dynamic consistency to filtration measurable acts, it is shown that the decision maker respects these two axioms on a fixed filtration if and only if the last stage of the filtration is made up of unambiguous events in the sense of Zhang (Econ Theory 20:159–181, 2002).

18-Year-Old Aspiring Pilot Dies After Crashing Plane on Mississippi Golf Course
An 18-year-old pilot of a single-engine plane died after crashing on a golf course while practicing takeoffs and landings at a small airport owned by the University of Mississippi.
University spokesman Rod Guajardo said Sunday that Lake Little of Starkville died late Saturday of injuries from the crash that occurred hours earlier on the Ole Miss Golf Course near the University-Oxford Airport.
Little was the daughter of Starkville Alderman David Little and wife Pattie, and was a 2019 graduate of Starkville Academy. The Starkville Daily News reported that Lake Little was set to compete this month in Mississippi's Miss Hospitality pageant. The winner of the pageant spends a year promoting tourism.
Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant said on Twitter: "Such sad news about Lake Little. A beautiful light has passed from this world far too soon."
The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal reported that according to her Miss Hospitality profile, Little aspired to eventually fly for FedEx.
She planned to study speech pathology and audiology at the University of Southern Mississippi and wanted to open her own speech pathology clinic to help children and the elderly while maintaining an aviation career.
The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the crash.
Bystander Brian Scott Ripee told the Oxford Eagle on Saturday that he was near the ninth hole of the course when he saw the plane abort a landing and struggle to pull up. He said it "just fell straight down into the trees."

The vineyards at Lazy Creek are some of the few that weren't torn out during a 1970s phylloxera scare. Result: The winery's coveted whites are among the only ones made from old-vine grapes.
Driving down the winding, tree-canopied dirt road that leads to Lazy Creek Vineyards, you'd think we've taken the turnoff to some secret state park. Alders, oaks, madrones, and redwoods all crowd alongside and over the road, which bumps over three wooden bridges before emerging onto hilly vineyard vistas.
The golden light of Indian summer filters through the trees and illuminates the dust kicked up by our car. It's a scene so pretty and peaceful that we're tempted to stop the car and get out for a walk ― or a nap. But then we see 8-year-old Grey Chandler, whose parents, Josh and Mary Beth Chandler, own and run Lazy Creek, and our energy picks up.
"What's that baby's name again?" Grey asks. We laugh, amused that this little boy would remember our 1-year-old son, Toby, from our visit several months prior. Then before we know it, Grey is leading Lilli, our almost-3-year-old daughter, down the gravel path. "Come see my tractor," he says enthusiastically, and they're off and running.
Taking advantage of the unsolicited child care, my husband and I duck in to the tasting room, which is more like a cozy garage, for a sip of "Gewürz juice" that Josh pours from the barrel. It's bone-dry and delicious. Then we follow Josh out to the chicken coop, where he hoists our daughter, who has finished her tractor inspection, up on his shoulders and instructs her to open a drawer. She does, and out pops a chicken, like a jack-in-the-box. "What's under that chicken?" he asks. Eyes wide, Lilli feels under the bird, then incredulously holds up an egg. "Warm!" she says.
We have found perfection, I think: wine for Mom and Dad, and Old McDonald's Farm for the kids.
Most people, even otherwise well-traveled Northern Californians, would be hard-pressed to tell you where the Anderson Valley is. For the record, it's about 120 miles north of San Francisco, and about 40 miles southeast of Mendocino. But some of the wines coming out of the area have, in the last 10 to 15 years, become household names: Navarro Vineyards, Handley Cellars, Husch Vineyards, Roederer Estate. Cooled by the fog that rolls in from the ocean, the valley is ideal for Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and sparklers made out of them, as well as the increasingly appreciated cool-weather whites: Gewürztraminer, Riesling, and Pinot Gris.
The excellent wine we consistently find here is not the only thing that keeps my husband and me coming back to this valley. An even more compelling draw is what we can't find here: namely, Versailles-style villas, fancy resorts, traffic, standard tasting fees, lines. From State 128, which snakes its way circuitously from Cloverdale out to the Mendocino coast like a zipper slicing the gently rolling hills in half, all you see are miles and miles of trees draped in fall color this month. They're interrupted only by tiny towns such as Boonville and a couple of other crossroads so small that they don't even register as towns.
There's only one road, one hotel, one excellent restaurant (and a couple of more casual eateries), a growing number of wineries, a state park with about 8 miles of hiking trails, and not much else to do besides admire the wine, the food, and the scenery. As a result, the valley feels manageable, approachable, and somehow a lot more authentic than other wine countries in California.
That authenticity stems in part from the back-to-the-land culture that thrives in this valley, where everyone we meet seems to be raising their own cows, sheep, and chickens. Fresh eggs, in fact, become the unifying theme of our three-day trip. We find them under the chickens at Lazy Creek, sold at the Boont Berry Farm in Boonville, and served at each place we eat: the Boonville General Store ― where the food is so good that we return not only for every breakfast but also every lunch ― and the Boonville Hotel, where Johnny Schmitt, as chef-proprietor, serves simple, honest, outstanding food.
The Schmitt family is one of the main reasons the Anderson Valley has retained its integrity in an age when every other wine region seems to morph into the same predictable monoculture.
In addition to running the Boonville Hotel, Schmitt has committed himself to reinvigorating the inevitable development of Boonville. He's just opened a complex of artist studios across the street from his hotel to add to what he considers the already thriving alternative cultural scene in the valley. He hopes these "off-street studios" will encourage drivers to stop and linger.
Which is exactly what we do. After visiting the chickens at Lazy Creek, we hit Standish Wine Company, where the tasting room is an old apple dryer set high up in the trees like a fort. Here a tiny kitten named Bluebell leaps and skids around the kids while my husband and I pair aged goat cheese with Pinot Noir. At Hendy Woods State Park, we walk along sorrel-lined trails, look up at towering trees, and visit the hermit hut, where a recluse really did live for 20 years as recently as the 1980s. Back outside the park, in Philo, we take off our shoes and wade in the river that serves as the locals' swim hole in summer. Then we sit on the banks, watching the occasional car rumble across the Philo Greenwood Bridge above.
From the river, we walk across the bridge to the Philo Apple Farm, which is, in itself, reason enough to visit the valley. With its orchards and gardens, its rustic farmstand where chutneys and jams are sold on the honor system, and its handful of modern-design cottages hiding in the trees, the Apple Farm is the kind of place that makes country living look appealing enough to get even the most jaded city dweller dreaming of moving out to the country. Which, in a sense, is what owners Don and Sally Schmitt did.
Back in the late 1970s, the Schmitts founded the French Laundry in Yountville, where Sally was chef, and where Don was the sommelier (as well as the mayor of the town). As Yountville transformed into a world-famous capital of food, wine, and ritz, the Schmitts began to yearn for a simpler, more rural lifestyle, which is how they ended up in the Anderson Valley, a place that was, even more so back then, virtually unknown. With the help of their daughter Karen and her husband, Tim Bates (who are now co-owners), they rehabilitated these orchards and started the cooking school, where they still teach all the classes themselves.
But you don't need to know any of this to appreciate the Apple Farm's appeal. Case in point: our kids. They seem just as content as we are to wander among the perfectly manicured orchards, stopping to watch Tim bottle cider, and to admire Karen's potting shed, which is so meticulously tidy it looks like something out of a Beatrix Potter picture book. We round a bend and come upon a set of cages where bunnies clamber and flop over one another, to the sheer delight of our kids.
My husband and I look at each other and grin, proud that our daughter has internalized the concept of knowing the source of her food. And then we drive away, in search of a good glass of wine.

Home India-Pakistan News Pakistan Rejects Nomination Of 'Senior' Indian Diplomat
Pakistan Rejects Nomination Of 'Senior' Indian Diplomat
Pakistan has rejected the nomination of an Indian diplomat for the post of its Charge d'Affaires in Islamabad, terming him too senior for the office.
Foreign service officer Jayant Khobragade was nominated in June to replace the incumbent, Gaurav Ahluwalia, in Islamabad, following Pakistan's downgrading of diplomatic ties with India.
"Pakistan believes that by proposing a senior diplomat, who has already served as Ambassador in another post, India is trying to circumvent the effect of downgrading of diplomatic relations, which is obviously not in line with Pakistan's decision," the country's Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Sunday.
Islamabad, it said, has advised India to nominate an officer with seniority "commensurate with Pakistan's decision of downgrading the diplomatic relations."
"It may be recalled that following India's illegal and unilateral actions of August 5, 2019, in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), Pakistan took a number of steps, including the downgrading of diplomatic relations with India. The purpose of downgrading the relations was to register Pakistan's strong protest and condemnation of India's illegal, inhuman and unacceptable actions in IIOJK," read the statement.
"It must be clear that the relations between India and Pakistan are inextricably linked to the resolution of the Jammu and Kashmir dispute in accordance with the relevant UN Security Council resolutions," the press release said.
Kashmir, a Muslim-majority Himalayan region, is held by India and Pakistan in parts but claimed by both in full. A small sliver of the region is also controlled by China.
Since they were partitioned in 1947, New Delhi and Islamabad have fought three wars – in 1948, 1965, and 1971 – two of them over Kashmir.
Some Kashmiri groups have been fighting against Indian rule for independence, or for unification with Pakistan. On Aug. 5, 2019, the Indian government revoked Article 370 and other related provisions from its Constitution, scrapping the country's only Muslim-majority state with its autonomy. It was also split into two federally administered territories.

Anadolu Agency (Turkish: Anadolu Ajansı is a state-run news agency headquartered in Ankara, Turkey. It was founded in 1920 during the Turkish War of Independence. Journalist Yunus Nadi Abalıoğlu and writer Halide Edip, fleeing the occupied capital, met in Geyve and concluded that a new Turkish press agency was needed. The agency was officially launched on April 6, 1920, 17 days before the Turkish Grand National Assembly convened for the first time. It announced the first legislation passed by the Assembly, which established the Republic of Turkey.

MSC Cruises Begins Crew Vaccination Program in Florida
By Sarah Bretz
MSC Cruises has officially started its crew vaccination program in the United States.
On Friday, crew members from MSC Meraviglia received their first COVID-19 vaccinations at PortMiami, marking the line's first crew members in the states to be vaccinated.

The company's crew vaccination program was announced on May 1, which will see crew members from across the fleet receiving their vaccinations. The first ship to see its crew members participate was MSC Bellissima, who received their first doses on April 30.
The cruise line is prioritizing crew members aboard its 10 ships that will be operating cruises this summer, as well as crew aboard ships that are set to resume service out of United States ports to the Caribbean.
MSC Cruises' vaccine effort in Miami follows closely behind Port Canaveral's own program, which saw port personnel receiving their inoculations on April 30 as well. As of last week, the port had the capacity to vaccination up to 1,000 ship crew members, shoreside workers, and waterside support personnel each day. Meanwhile, PortMiami has the ability to vaccinate up to 900 people per day.

Over in Texas, the Port of Galveston recently started its own vaccine initiative. Last week, the port began distribution of the Pfizer vaccine to crew members, in partnership with the University of Texas Medical Branch. Crew members from Carnival Vista and Carnival Breeze were among the first to receive doses through Galveston's program as the ships arrived into port last weekend.
All of these cruise line and port vaccination efforts have come on the heels of the latest CDC guidance. The agency's Conditional Sailing Order update doesn't state that crew or passengers must be vaccinated, but it does say that if cruise lines want to skip operating test cruises with volunteer passengers, at least 95 percent of passengers and 98 percent of crew must have the vaccine.

Yasuo Sumi. NOTHING BUT THE FUTURE: curated by Flaminio Gualdoni
Publisher: ABC-ARTE S.r.l
Dimensions: 26,5x19,2
Yasuo Sumi Sumi | Nothing but the Future, as any other ABC-ARTE event, comes from our firm belief in the needing of collective participation. This exhibition represents a homage we cannot share with the esteemed Master Yasuo Sumi, who passed away on October the 12th 2015, when the show was still in progress. Through this catalogue, we hope you are going to feel our respect and strong admiration for this Master.
After coordinating the 2008 event dedicated to Shozo Shimamoto, including his performance at Palazzo Ducale in Genoa and the exhibition at the Villa Croce Museum of Contemporary Arts, curated by Achille Bonito Oliva, ABC-ARTE will present in Genoa the anthological exhibition of master Yasuo Sumi, curated by Flaminio Gualdoni,.
The retrospective of this Japanese artist will show, through a chronological selection, the artistic career of the Gutai master, from his first works to his most recent performances. The exhibition includes very rare works, coming from international and prestigious Museums and private collections, divided by decades of realisation. Each section will follow an educational diachronic itinerary, comparing the major historical – artistic events and the most relevant postwar personalities (Fontana, Cage, Pollock, Kaprow, Mathieu), to create a complete and suitable profile of the artist.
The selected works have been made on typical supports used by Master Sumi: canvas, net with paper included, cardboard, his first Gutai works on paper, scroll and textures.
The catalogue will include a section with historical photos, showing performances and everyday life of Master Sumi, to illustrate his artistic concepts in the most complete way, plus a collection of texts from his autobiography.
I strongly believe this event is an important occasion to study a central author in the history of art in the XXth century. It will highlight a special period for history, politics, culture and art, when revolutionary artistic concepts reached Europe, United States and Japan through parallel ways.
Nothing but the future represents again another opportunity for ABC-ARTE to attract and engage the attention of great audiences, starting from our city and fellow citizens as well as art lovers and young people.
I would like to give a special thanks to Associazione Culturale Spazio Arte dei Mori (Venice) and the Yasuo Sumi archive by Andrea Mardegan (Ibaraki, Japan) for their collaboration to the organisation of this exhibition, and also to all institutions mentioned in our catalogue, for their full support towards our event.

I love stories of courageous animals and heard a great one this past week about a dog that I have had the pleasure of meeting personally. Say hello to Jack Daniels (son of the recently departed Whiskey).
Jack is a full bred boxer and owned by a close friend's son. He is also a brother to Bella, who is owned by my daughter's in-laws. Jack is a cherished puppy who has been known to have a steak grilled solely for him on his birthday. He often gets to sleep over at his grandparents house and play with their dogs.
Jack also has two sister cats, one named White Kitty and one named Grey Kitty. Here is Grey Kitty..
A few nights ago Jack's owner was on the second floor of his house and heard a late night knock on his door. He was not expecting anyone at that hour so was slow to walk down the steps and answer the door. Before he got there, he heard the front door being kicked in. Jack was not slow to the front door at all. He immediately started chasing and barking at the intruders.
Jack's owner, upon hearing the door being kicked in, opened an upstairs window thinking he might have to make a quick escape out the second floor if someone was coming in the first floor. Much to his relief, from the window he could see the two would be burglars running for their life after encountering the unexpected ferocity of Jack protecting his house and his person.
Jack's owner called the police and then called his dad to help him fix the door. After all was secured, Jack's owner decided to stay with his parents for the weekend. As they were backing out of the driveway the headlights of the truck passed over the roof of the house and they spotted Grey Kitty sitting on the roof. It seems that Jack's owner had forgotten to close the window during all the commotion and Grey Kitty decided to have her own little adventure that night. She was happily surveying the world around her from her high perch as cats love to do.
Jack's owner ran back in the house and upstairs to the open window. After much coaxing and a little meowing, Grey Kitty decided to come back in the house for the night.
I am sure Jack's owner and his parents are thrilled that Jack is such a great protector. People usually assume their pet will protect them in an emergency although they certainly never want to really find out. For Jack's family at least, they can rest assured that Jack the Brave will be there to save them from harm and Grey Kitty will serve as lookout.
Kindra and DL are riding their bicycles today from Houston to Austin, Texas in the MS150 benefit ride. They will actually accumulate about 167 miles when they finish on Sunday. I am praying for no winds, no accidents and much strength. I will let you know how they manage the ride.
into this questionable looking group of 50 year olds.
They are still riding two wheelers, but have powered them up a bit.
This group has traveled far and wide, they have been to Colorado, Wyoming, Utah and South Dakota (Sturgis, of course).
They designated a navigator and sent out a scout.
They have seen amazing sites such as this….
This morning with the temperature at 38 degrees they once again donned their leathers and rode off into the sunrise towards Oklahoma. I just hope they do not talk Dave into anything crazy like the last time they rode. He came home with a sleeveless shirt that showed off his "IT(information technology) arms".
Hopefully I won't see any PC or Star Trek tatoos this time!
Twenty years ago I started working for a company, Marion Merrill Dow, that not only shaped the course of my future career path, but became the standard by which I would judge all future employers. (btw, no other employer has come close). The eight years I worked for this organization also produced life long friends.
Marion Merrill Dow was the second generation of Marion Laboratories, a Kansas City landmark company. Started by the late Ewing Kaufman, original owner of the Kansas City Royals baseball team, the legacy of Marion Laboratories still influences the local business community today through the numerous companies started by "associates" (the term used to refer to employees of the company) and the inspiring work of the Kauffman Foundation.
When I began working for the company, they were embarking on an international systems implementation project which I was very fortunate to be a part. Our team traveled frequently to many places in Europe preparing local operations to use the new SAP software. During that time, I personally traveled to Europe nine times in nine months, many of those trips 2 weeks in duration.
Dave did a tremendous job of holding down the home front with our three small children (ages 7, 4 and 1 at the time) while I lived in hotel rooms, ate out every meal and had my room cleaned by a maid each day.
I am pretty confident I had the easier job.
Barry, Tim, Jay and Steve at the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin.
Our project lasted for several years and resulted in close friendships between many of us. No other place for which I have worked have I kept in such close contact with so many colleagues. I have often wondered what was the unique set of circumstances that caused this bond to form, was it the stress of the complicated project, the traveling to foreign environments for weeks at a time or the culture of the workplace that encouraged respect for each other.
Tim explaining the complexities (ha-ha) of the SAP AP module to Manfred Hauser, the accounting manager in Berlin.
Or maybe it was just all those mandatory team building meetings such as the toga parties, work days at Towster's house, happy hours in the lobby of the Syltr Hof Hotel in Berlin, or the little piano bar in Lisbon, Portugal. More than likely, it was the sum of all of these things.
Examining remains of the Berlin wall at Checkpoint Charlie.
Several of us still get together for lunch once a month to catch up on family, current job's and our other co-workers. This past friday evening I had the privilege of meeting up with a few former teammates, one I had not seen in several years. It was as if we had just talked last week, the bonds of friendship still remain.
We all have stories we could tell about our days traveling and working on the DOWFAS team, but the most important item we accomplished were the relationships we built and have kept over the years.

Tyrus's Eye on Art
Musings on Contemporary Art and Artists: For the average person the contemporary art world seems to speak in a foreign language. I have found over the past decade that many people have an interest in art but feel like outsiders to a very insulated conversation. The purpose of this blog site is two-fold. First, it includes thoughts, observations, and analysis of contemporary artists and their works. The second type of blog entry is based on my own artwork.
Frances Trombly & Conrad Bakker: The Value of the Overlooked
For centuries, two primary and essential qualities of artworks produced in the traditions of Western cultures were that they were highly mimetic and well crafted. For many, these still remain definitive elements for any artwork. Once artists began measuring the quality of a work by additional and alternative standards, however, the game changed. Materials came into question. An intentional, apparent lack of craftsmanship held weight as a legitimate conceptual concern. And, of course, representation became only one of multiple options.
Some contemporary artists have brought these traditions full circle. For them, the irony associated with a return to the representational, through high levels of craftsmanship, results in a fitting commentary on culture. Two American artists, one female and one male, are currently utilizing this approach as a way to call the viewer back toward an attention to detail.
Miami-based Frances Trombly produces work that is firmly rooted in the Feminist art of the 1970s. Her materials and processes are an extension of that aesthetic. For earlier artists, such as Miriam Schapiro, the utilization of fabric, sewing, and embroidery was directly tied to the traditional place women were assigned within society. These female artists used processes considered to be "women's work" as an avenue to call attention to the lesser state to which women had been relegated. The intricacy and attention to detail of such works proves that these, and the works of their anonymous forebears, deserve equal scrutiny and accolades among the traditionally accepted artworks within the canon.
Trombly employs similar processes as the first generation Feminists, yet her considerations cover a broader range. There is a tinge of environmentalism, though probably a deeper concern with consumerism. The artist relies on processes that would traditionally be placed within the category of craft. She weaves the cloth that composes the substrate for additional embroidery work. In other works she knits or crochets non-utilitarian forms that appear, at first glance, to be consumer goods.
Consider both Garden Hose and Extension Cord. Each crocheted tube is produced as a stand-in for its namesake. The reproduction of a mundane, practical object, through time-intensive and craft-oriented means, is a nearly opposite strategy than that employed by so many other contemporary artists. Tim Hawkinson, for instance, has used actual orange extension cord—woven together—to create a pair of shorts. Both artists are fashioning somewhat innocuous items to be designated as objects of fine art. Trombly, however, seems to establish objects within a more camouflaged, everyday experience and environment.
Many of Trombly's other works bear witness to the disposable quality of contemporary culture. These works may be camouflaged even more successfully because they initially appear as cast-off items--debris. Their placement is an essential consideration for their success. Paper Corner consists of what appear to be more than a dozen sheets of lined notebook paper, crumpled and tossed into the corner. In reality, these are sheets of fabric that the artist has woven on a loom. The likeness, in both thickness and coloration, to actual notebook paper disguises the work so effectively that one would likely bypass it if not for its location within a gallery. Receipt (Publix) exhibits the same properties. In this instance, not only has the artist woven the thin length of fabric, she has also meticulously embroidered the tally of supermarket items on the faux receipt.
It is in works like these that Trombly best calls into question the perceived disposable nature of our culture. What else do we bypass in our daily routines, considering it as unimportant and of no value? To press the issue further Trombly has produced several garbage bags or trash can liners. These drawstring bags are composed of hand-woven fabric which is then sewn together into fully functioning objects. She goes so far as to place one inside an actual garbage can (Trash Can)—making it ready to receive authentic trash.
The subject of trash receptacles and garbage bags manifests itself within the work of Conrad Bakker, as well. Bakker's work fails to exhibit the qualities of Feminist ideology so integral to Trombly's, though concepts of consumerism and commodity are a priority. Bakker seeks to camouflage his works, too, but he often places pieces into situations and surroundings of everyday life so that they may be used or "consumed." But these are mute items that fail to function as their prototypes. Under the general heading of Untitled Projects, these works turn the concept of consumerism upside down.
Untitled: [Dumpster] is a full-sized construction dumpster sculpted from wood and painted to look exactly like the real thing. Placed outside of the School of Art building on the campus of the University of Illinois-Chicago, the sculpture was ultimately treated as its prototype when refuse was tossed into it. Again, as with Trombly, it takes more than perfunctory recognition to understand that this object is not what it seems.
Bakker's garbage bags appear in the guise of a box of "Hefty" trash bags, again, sculpted in wood and painted to appear to be the genuine item. The artist retains a certain amount of the hand crafted in these works. They are not quite as slick and smooth as mass produced products would be. These "commodity" works are placed on store shelves next to their real life kin, photographed, and left. So the unique object, considered as culturally and economically valuable, is offered at the price of the mass produced consumer good.
More pointed references to the consumerist basis of a capitalist society are found in a more recent work entitled COMMODITY [Capital]. This sculpture mimics a volume of "Capital" by Karl Marx. Interestingly, this work, shown at the exhibition The Irresistible Force at the Tate Modern, finds its placement in one of the world's most elite contemporary art venues. The Tate's role in the rise of the YBAs (Young British Artists) through the Turner Prize provides an evocative foil against which to consider Bakker's work. The trends toward excessive pricing and realized auction amounts, so often associated with YBAs like Damien Hirst and Tracey Emin, is countered by a work that calls our systems of valuation into question.
One final work by Conrad Bakker fully exhibits the playfulness and generosity that resides at the heart of the Untitled Projects. REFRESHMENT [Art Chicago] was equal parts installation and performance. Produced for the Art Chicago art fair, the work consisted of a simulation of a child's lemonade stand. The card table, sign, cups, and Kool-Aid were all carved from wood and had painted to mimic a refreshment table for the wandering art connoisseurs and collectors.
Bakker sat at the table and sold individual cups of painted, wooden Kool-Aid to passersby for twenty-five cents each. There is obvious humor here, as there is in Trombly's work. Refreshment provides an interactive component that more fully engages Bakker's target audience. Those in attendance at a contemporary art fair know the rules of the game. They get the ironic references in contemporary art and are aware of the enormous sums paid for some of those same works. In a system where the middleman—the dealer—is often the contact person for the collector, Bakker has removed a layer and provided a confrontation that is not simply between the art and the collector, but with the artist himself—the originator of the idea.
In all the works discussed the hand crafted, representational nature is employed to hide the work from view. The viewer is caused to question not only our systems of valuation in the marketplace, but our unconscious valuations of life's intangibles. The exquisite properties of those things that do not shout loudly for attention are possibly those things we most need. Family, friends, and those people who perform the lowliest tasks of life are truly the needful things.
The work of Conrad Bakker is also discussed, along with the work of several other artists, in Tyrus Clutter's essay Material Presence: The Sacramental in Art, featured in the SEEN journal, volume IX.2, 2009.

The traditional St George's Day march took place in Windsor yesterday (Sunday).
Scouts and guides from Windsor and Eton District held the parade on Sunday (April 22) going to the Parish Church in the High Street. The march has been happening for more than 30 years.
More than 600 young marchers, up on 400 last year, were led by the Maidenhead Salvation Army Band as they passed from Bachelors Acre through Sheet Street and High Street to the church where they attended a dedication service. The march back and salute had to be cancelled because of heavy rainfall.
Ken Cooper, vice-chairman of Windsor and Eton District Scouts, said that was a 'bit of a disappointment' but 'overall it was excellent'. "The children all sung along to the hymns and thoroughly enjoyed themselves," added Ken.
This year's charity collection at the end of the service was for Twyford-based Daisy's Dream, which responds to the needs of children and families affected by life-threatening illness or bereavement, in Berkshire and the surrounding areas.

Northeast Passages: October, 2017
By Loretta Jackson
October 10, 2017 March 9, 2018 Hannah ClarkRegional Buzz
Suspense is building for Brookfield Indian Motorcycle of Brookfield, Connecticut. It is in first place, as of this writing, out of 191 associated dealerships nationwide, as judged by parent Polaris. Patty and Robert Gaulin and their son, Eric Gaulin, own the top-ranked contender. She told me, "We are very excited about the ranking." It is based on customer service, volume of bikes sold and many other factors. Patty had just returned from Vegas, where the 2018 models debuted at a dealer's conference… Meanwhile, some 200 bikers in New Hampshire did $9,000's worth of good on Saturday, July 8, in Hudson, with a 76-mile ride for Army Spc. Joshua "Josh" Keller, 23. The local guy was negligently shot in the neck in February by a fellow soldier. The shooter, Spc. Thomas Popek, 22, got three years and a month, plus a bad conduct discharge. Josh's mom, Maria, and his dad, Matt, owner of a 2014 Indian Chieftain, say Josh thought nothing of doing 800-mile runs on his cherished 1995 Sportster. He'd rest in a sleeping bag. That's on hold for now, for the weapon that did major damage to tissue and arteries was a .45-caliber pistol. Josh is in the 2nd Battalion, 1st Infantry Regiment, 7th Infantry Division of the Army. Thankfully, Josh's twin brother, Zachary, also an Army Ranger, was in the room when the admitted "fooling around" by Popek went down. (Zachary owns a Honda Fury and often went riding with his brother, as did the shooter.) Zachary saved his brother's life with rounds of CPR and by staunching the blood flow until medics arrived. Staff writer Don Himsel in The Telegraph of June 29 reported Josh lost full mobility in his arms and legs but can speak. Josh is recovering in a veterans hospital outside Boston and his brother Zachary said in the story that Josh "crushes it" in PT. Back home, Josh had been in maintenance for the Hudson Police Department and Zachary was an animal control officer. It was Hudson police officer Pharith Deng who proposed the ride. He was quoted in The Telegraph as saying, "Why not do one for Josh?" Officer Deng told me in August that Bay State Welding was the run's launch point and that Spyros and Angela Saucier and Rick and Bridget McCartney there were big helps. The $9,000 will assist with Josh's many needs. The twins' father, Matt Keller, told me that, "Josh is pushing hard with his therapy and plans on riding again in the near future." Want to help a fellow biker and a guy who is serving his country? Go online to GoFundMe.com and look for the "Josh Keller Recovery Fund." Good luck, Josh! And Zachary—you rock!… Elsewhere, Tramontin Harley-Davidson in Hope, New Jersey, launched its Homeless Vets "FunRaiser" Ride, benefiting Operation Chillout Homeless Veterans Outreach, on Saturday, August 12. Some $20,000 was raised and everyone partied at Vasa Park in Budd Lake during Chillout's annual Vets Summer Fest. Music, food, bands and other fun happened bigtime. Tramontin's Nancy Duthie told me some rare auction items included 10 dealership-donated autographed guitars from Les Paul, James Taylor and other greats. The auction alone raised $5,000 and included a concert poster signed by Vanilla Fudge. Their 1967 hit, "Ticket to Ride," reminds me—See you down the road, friends.

untitled interracial family comedy centers on an ambitious and meticulous Latino chef who runs a cafe with his unpredictable white father-in-law. Bowman executive produces with UnbeliEVAble's Longoria and Ben Spector. Universal TV, where the company is based, is the studio.
This marks the return to ABC for former Desperate Housewives star Longoria and Family Tools creator Bowman. Last year, ABC and ABC Studios developed a half-hour comedy as a starring vehicle for Longoria before she committed to NBC's Hot & Bothered. That series, which UnbeliEVAble produces with Universal TV, debuts in midseason.
In addition to Hot & Bothered, UnbeliEVAble has Bonita & Mechelle in development at NBC with Will Packer Prods. as well as projects at HBO Films and NBC International. The company is repped by CAA and Brillstein Entertainment.
Bowman also is writing comedy How To Speak American, about a coddled millennial who teaches ESL to immigrants, at CBS, with Greg Garcia executive producing. Bowman has a long history with Garcia and has worked as co-executive producer/executive producer on all of Garcia's series: Yes, Dear and The Millers on CBS, My Name Is Earl on NBC and Raising Hope on Fox. He is repped by ICM Partners.

Charity harvests new Northgate facility
Australia's leading food rescue organisation has secured a new tenancy in Brisbane's north, continuing the strong demand for Industrial warehouse facilities in the region.
Jack Perrins of Savills Industrial Sales and Leasing negotiated the deal on behalf of Ashdown Property Group, with OzHarvest securing the 1,579sq m tenancy at a rate of $105/sq m.
The freestanding office warehouse located at 72 Crockford Street in Northgate is fully secured, with facilities including clear span warehouse, quality office space and functional external hardstand.
"The move signifies a point of growth for OzHarvest by securing a potentially long term Brisbane Head Quarters," Mr Perrins said.
OzHarvest collect quality excess food from commercial outlets and deliver it to over 1,000 charities that support people in need across Australia.
Mr Perrins said the transaction further corroborates a noticeable up-swing in leasing demand for 1,000sq m to 3,000sq m industrial facilities within Brisbane's Inner Northern region.
"So far this year we have seen a noticeable increase in local businesses looking to increase their holding capacity with larger premises", Mr Perrins said.
Asset Manager of Ashdown Property Group, Annabelle Chapple, said they are delighted to welcome OzHarvest into their portfolio.
"OzHarvest are an organisation that does vital work in the community and across Australia and we are proud to provide them with a Brisbane headquarters that caters so well to their needs," Ms Chapple said.


Choosing a triathlon trainer is a BIG decision. How many other people do you share your hopes, dreams and desires to? Not many. It's a close and trusting relationship. When you invest that much time, money and emotional and physical energy into a project, you need to have the correct trainer.
*Does that trainer have a track record of having 'skin in the game' with their athletes? We recommend talking with their current and former athletes to get an overview of their training style.
*How well does your trainer communicate, how often, through what platform and what are their expectations of communication with their athletes? Communication in any relationship is a make or break factor.
*How many athletes does your trainer manage? Are they managing dozens and dozens of people? If so, where do you and your goals fit into the priority list?
*Has your trainer raced your distance? Have they lived and learned all the nuances of your sport? Are they a student of the sport or are they looking to make a few bucks from taking a weekend certification course?
*Take your time deciding on a triathlon trainer. It will be the difference between loving and succeeding at the sport or souring the entire experience.
Let us know how we can help. We may, or may not, be the right fit for you. We love running, biking, swimming and triathlon and ultimately want to see people happy doing their sport with the proper support team. That's infinitely important than any dollar.

Consumer gag clauses: Totally not awesome under CRFA
By: Lesley Fair | Jun 3, 2019 11:29AM
Real Estate and Mortgages
Moon Unit Zappa's 1982 song "Valley Girl" popularized the phrase "gag me with a spoon." We doubt the lyric "gag me with a form contract clause" would have been a hit, but it's among the tactics expressly outlawed by the Consumer Review Fairness Act. As two proposed settlements demonstrate, the FTC thinks gag clauses and similar non-disparagement provisions that violate the CRFA are – to quote Ms. Zappa – grody to the max.
People using a popular site to find a rental in Rosemary Beach, Florida, may have come across properties managed by Shore to Please Vacations. According to the complaint, the company mandated in its contract that any vacationer who posted a review giving the property less than a "5 star or absolute best rating" immediately owed the company at least $25,000. Here's an excerpt from a "disclaimers" paragraph in Shore to Please Vacations' form contract:
By signing below, you agree not to defame or leave negative reviews (includes any review or comment deemed to be negative by a Shore to Please Vacations LLC officer or member, as well as any review less than a "5 star" or "absolute best" rating) about this property and/or business in any print form or on any website . . . . Due to the difficulty in ascertaining an actual amount of damages in situations like this, breaching this clause . . . will immediately result in minimum liquidated damages of $25,000 paid by you to Shore to Please Vacations LLC.
That was no idle threat. In fact, the owner of the business meant business, and followed through by filing lawsuits against renters who posted reviews he deemed to be negative. He claimed in demand letters that by breaching that provision in the contract, the renters each owed him $25,000 plus attorney's fees.
The FTC also announced an action against Baltimore-based Staffordshire Property Management. When a prospective tenant filed an application, Staffordshire presented the consumer with a form contract stating that he or she "specifically agrees not to disparage Staffordshire Property Management, and any of its employees, managers, or agents in any way, and also agrees not to communicate, publish, characterize, publicize or disseminate, in any manner, any terms, conditions, opinions and communications related to Staffordshire Property Management, this application, or the application process." The contract further provided that "[a]ny breach of such confidentiality will support a cause of action and will entitle Staffordshire Property Management to recover any and all damages from such a breach." Staffordshire also insisted that the contract terms were in full force regardless of whether the applicant was "approved or not approved."
The FTC alleges that both companies' contracts violate the Consumer Review Fairness Act. In effect since 2017, the CRFA bans provisions in form contracts that restrict a consumer's ability to communicate reviews or performance assessments about a seller's goods, services, or conduct. The law also makes it illegal to impose a penalty or fee against a consumer who engages in communications protected by the CRFA.
The proposed settlements include provisions to ensure CRFA compliance. In addition, the Staffordshire Property Management respondents must post a web notice for two years explaining consumers' right to post honest reviews and must send the same message via email or letter to customers who signed contracts with a non-disparagement provision at the outset of the transaction. The Shore to Please respondents will send a similar letter or email to affected consumers. In addition, they must dismiss with prejudice a lawsuit count filed in state court alleging that a renter breached its non-disparagement provision by posting a negative review.
Once the proposed settlements appear in the Federal Register, you'll have 30 days to file a public comment.
The FTC announced three other proposed CRFA settlements just a few weeks ago. The takeaway tip for businesses should be clear: Review your form contracts. Keep them totally tubular by deleting any clauses that attempt to stop consumers from sharing their honest opinions about your products, service, or conduct. The FTC's Consumer Review Fairness Act: What Businesses Need to Know explains the basics.

Q: Absolute and relative path in linux for process image I'm learning Linux and I have a bit of a hard time understanding the file system. I've stumbled upon a question that gives me Process with PID 4433 and tells me that I need to find relative and absolute path to that process image.
It also tells, that currently, we are in folder /home/admin.
I don't understand the question, as this last info confuses me. I thought that /home/admin was a separate directory from /proc/, where processes are stored if I am correct? How do you get that on top of /home/admin?
And which part of that folder is considered to be process image? What are some useful things you can do with this?
Thank you, sorry if this topic is too simple for anybody, but I've googled quite some time and didn't really find anything useful, apart from this picture which just confirms my belief that /home/ and /proc/ can't be stacked:

A: /proc is a special filesystem which can give information about processes
For example ($$ pid of current shell)
$ ls -l /proc/$$
cwd : symbolic link to current working directory
exe : symbolic link to process image

Q: deriving Applicative in haskell Why wouldn't GHC derive Applicative for KO ?
#!/usr/bin/env stack
-- stack --resolver lts-17.10 script

{-# LANGUAGE DeriveFunctor #-}
{-# LANGUAGE GeneralizedNewtypeDeriving #-}

newtype KO a = KO a deriving (Functor, Applicative) -- doesn't derive Applicative

newtype OK f a = OK (f a) deriving (Functor, Applicative) -- that's ok

main :: IO ()
main = print "hello"

• Can't make a derived instance of 'Applicative KO'
(even with cunning GeneralizedNewtypeDeriving):
cannot eta-reduce the representation type enough
• In the newtype declaration for 'KO'typecheck

A: GHC has four ways of creating instances:

*

*stock: write new implementations of each of the class's methods from scratch via pattern matching and the like

*newtype: when declaring a newtype that wraps a type that already has an instance, reuse that instance, inserting and removing newtype wrappers at the appropriate moments

*anyclass: declare an instance with no method definitions (hence using default implementations for every method, if there are any)

*via: a generalization of newtype, it lets you inherit the instance from any other type with visibly the same representation, again by inserting/removing newtype wrappers at appropriate moments

In your code snippet, the stock method is used to derive Functor because you have turned on DeriveFunctor. There is currently no stock derivation for Applicative, though. The via method only ever fires when explicitly requested, and you have not turned on DeriveAnyClass, so the only option left is newtype, so GHC attempts to inherit an instance from the wrapped type. Then it runs into trouble, because Applicative is supposed to be for container types, and the contained type isn't one, so it complains.
This explains the Functor vs Applicative difference for your first snippet. For the first vs second snippet difference for Applicative, we need only observe that after unwrapping the second one, we do have a container type; hence you get an Applicative instance for OK any time its f argument has one.
See also the documentation on deriving strategies.

A: Additionally to the answer, here's some more detailed sample highlighting the two behaviors.
