New York Times Strands Hints and Answers for April 16, 2024

Off the Grid: Sally breaks down USA TODAY's daily crossword puzzle, No Resolution

There are spoilers ahead. You might want to solve today's puzzle before reading further! No Resolution (Freestyle)

Constructor: Dena R. Witkes

Editor: Amanda Rafkin

Comments from Today’s Crossword Constructor

Dena: Working with the USA TODAY editing team is an educational process and I hope that goes both ways. My initial instinct was to push back on the editor's clue for 12D, but I saw the brilliance in including something that might be a gimme to some (despite it being completely out of my wheelhouse.) One of the only clues I pushed to keep was 1A on account of this puzzle being published on 4/19. Happy Bicycle Day!

What I Learned from Today’s Puzzle

• MONAE (44A: Multi-hypenate Janelle) Janelle MONÁE is a singer-songwriter-rapper-actor. This I knew. I especially enjoyed her performance in the 2022 movie Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery , in which she portrayed twins Andi and Helen Brand. What I learned from this clue is the word "multi-hyphenate," which is used to refer to a person with several different jobs. It is particularly used in reference to those in the entertainment industry, but can be used in other contexts as well. I typically describe my current profession as crossword constructor, editor, and blogger. Perhaps it's time to admit that, like Janelle MONÁE, I am a multi-hyphenate, and say I am a crossword constructor-editor-blogger.

Random Thoughts & Interesting Things

• ACID (1A: Drug that's "dropped") LSD, commonly known as ACID, was first synthesized in 1938, by a Swiss chemist named Albert Hoffman. Several years later, on April 19, 1943, Albert Hoffman took a dose of LSD, and experienced the first documented ACID trip. The day is referred to as "Bicycle Day" in reference to Albert Hoffman riding a bicycle home from the lab (accompanied by his lab assistant).
• SUB (21A: Classroom temp) Temp here is short for "temporary" rather than "temperature." The use of the shortened form temp in the clue alerts solvers that the answer will also be a shortened form – in this case, SUB for substitute.
• SHIATSU (27A: Japanese "finger pressure" technique) SHIATSU techniques include massage, acupressure, assisted stretching, and joint manipulation. SHIATSU, which became popular in the twentieth century, evolved from another Japanese style of massage known as anma, which dates back to the 1300s. SHIATSU means, "finger pressure" in Japanese.
• SOY (31A: Tempeh protein) Tempeh is made from fermented SOYbeans, and is a good source of protein.
• TED TALK (47A: "Ideas worth spreading" lecture) TED TALKs originated at the TED Conference in 1984. TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design. TED TALKs present an idea in 18 minutes or less. Many TED TALKs are now available for viewing online, with the tagline, "ideas worth spreading." This has been the tagline for TED TALKs for about 20 years, but earlier this month, TED TALKs unveiled a new tagline: "Ideas Change Everything." I like it.
• SIREN (68A: Temptress of Greek mythology) In Greek mythology, a SIREN was a creature who used their enchanting singing voice to lure sailors to shipwreck on their islands. Originally, SIRENs were described as a combination of a woman and a bird, but over time their appearance came to be described as women with fish tails who lived in the sea, also known as mermaids.
• OLDER (12D: Like Taylor Swift's album "Lover" vis-a-vis "Midnights") Taylor Swift's albums, Lover and Midnights , were released in 2019 and 2022, respectively, making Lover the OLDER of the two albums. Both Lover and Midnights are OLDER than The Tortured Poets Department , Taylor Swift's 11th studio album, which was released today.
• ROSA (26D: Montgomery bus boycott icon Parks) The Montgomery bus boycott was a protest against the policy of racial segregation on Montgomery, Alabama buses. The boycott began on December 5, 1955, four days after ROSA Parks was arrested for refusing to give up her seat on a bus so a white person could sit down. The Montgomery bus boycott lasted until December 20, 1956, when a Supreme Court decision declared laws that segregated buses to be unconstitutional.
• IDA (34D: NAACP co-founder ___ B. Wells) IDA B. Wells (1862-1931) was an investigative journalist and a co-founder of the NAACP.  In 2020, IDA B.

Crossword Puzzle Theme Synopsis

There's no theme today, as this is a freestyle, or themeless puzzle. The title, NO RESOLUTION, is a nod to AGREE TO DISAGREE (39A: Copacetic way to end an argument).

In addition to the answers I've highlighted above, I also enjoyed I NEED A HUG, LIFE PARTNER, and STARTER HOME. The grid-spanning AGREE TO DISAGREE is a fabulous answer. Thank you, Dena for this excellent puzzle.

David Coffin sings the praises of going unplugged, packing light, and eating raisins

We caught up with the boston harbor cruise guide to talk about all things travel.

If you ask David Coffin, he will tell you that most people don’t understand the full scope of maritime music. “They think it’s just sea shanties, but those are a very specific kind of song … rhythmic songs that [crew members] would sing on ships while they were working,” said the New Haven native. “Sea shanties are an entry point into maritime music, but there are so many others like whaling songs and songs about being at sea.” Coffin, 64, is a well-known area raconteur who performs maritime concerts, leads maritime music programs in schools, and has been the master of ceremonies for ‘Christmas Revels’ — held annually at the Sanders Theatre in Cambridge in celebration of winter solstice — for more than four decades. He has also been guiding tours for Boston Harbor cruises for nearly 25 years and said he is excited about a new harbor cruise he created and narrates for Boston Harbor City Cruises called the Boston Lighthouse and Outer Harbor Cruise, which is offered Thursday-Sunday through May 12. “People are enamored with lighthouses, and on this two-hour cruise, we show them four lighthouses and one surprise lighthouse,” said Coffin, who said there will be a musical component to the cruise. “I really enjoy storytelling — and there is so much history right here in Boston Harbor. To me, every trip is a performance, and even though it’s been almost 25 years [as a tour guide] and has [included] the same information, it never gets old.” Coffin added that he has the “coolest office in town — and it floats. And I’m so successful that I have windows on all four sides of my office.” We caught up with the father of three (one adult daughter and two adult stepchildren), who lives in Gloucester with his wife, Kirsten Wiberg, and their two dogs, two cats, and one bird, to talk about all things travel.

If you could travel anywhere right now, where would you go? I’d go to Fiji. Why? I think the water speaks for itself.

Do you prefer booking trips through a travel agent or on your own? My wife takes care of it.

Thoughts on an “unplugged” vacation? I’m all for it. Hard to do but very healthy for the brain.

What has been your worst vacation experience? It was a busman’s holiday — meaning it was a holiday but I was still working — on a Carnival Cruise about 20 years ago. It was like a floating city with thousands of people. Never again.

What is your favorite childhood travel memory? Flying back from Paris, where we were visiting my grandparents when I was 6 or 7, and the plane lost an engine — so we had three instead of four. Everyone lost their appetite, so I had a lot of extra desserts. Remember, I was a child and since we were still flying, everything seemed fine to me.

Do you vacation to relax, to learn, or for the adventure of it all? Strictly to relax. My last vacation was an enforced vacation.

What book do you plan on bringing with you to read on your next vacation? Nothing. Reading takes me away from where I am, and I didn’t travel all that distance to get away from where I went.

If you could travel with one famous person/celebrity, who would it be? My wife.

What is the best gift to give a traveler? An amazing restaurant recommendation and a prepaid bill.

What is your go-to snack for a flight or a road trip? Trail mix — any kind with raisins — and ginger ale.

What is the coolest souvenir you’ve picked up on a vacation? A hole in my foot from stepping on a sea urchin at a beach in Spain. It was low tide and I was way out there on my own. I was a young kid and all I remember is that I couldn’t walk for a couple of days, and I got lots of ice cream.

What is your favorite app/website for travel? None. My wife makes travel arrangements and goes through the airlines directly.

What has travel taught you? Get there early.

What is your best travel tip? Unpack half your suitcase and leave the items you unpacked at home. You don’t need as much as you think you do.
