All the 2016 tech April Fool jokes in one post
Posted on 4th September 2016 5th January 2017 by Kwamina E. Arthur
The internet has really gotten serious about April Fools—it's hard to even remember what this day was like before some of the world's largest companies started playing tricks on you via your browser. April Fools is sometimes amusing, but also frequently annoying because you can't trust anything you see, and those joke pages will live on long after the day is done like joke landmines for you to come across when you're least expecting it. Such is life on the internet. To help you keep track of the gags this year, we're going to keep a running list of everything right here.
Sony has finally cracked the ghost-catching technology we've all been waiting for with the Proton Pack (TM).
It uses Sony Stamina Mode (like the smartphones) for improved battery life. Can't have the pack go dead in the middle of catching a ghost, right? And it only weighs 6.66kg! It's water and slime resistant too!
Google Japan
Google Japan has invented a physical flick input device. The Japanese Android keyboard uses flicks to input characters, but it lacks the all-important physical aspect.
The physical flick device consists of a grid of buttons that can be "flicked" or pressed. I know this is a joke, but it looks pretty rad.
Lyft is doing things a little differently this year. From 11AM to 5PM on April 1st you can prank your friends in real life with Lyft's help. You have to request a prank mode ride and then play it cool. The details are not fully available yet, but there's a video of a Lyft prank below. It's pretty specific to the parties involved.
When everyone in an email thread except you is wrong, there's Gmail Mic Drop. Just click that button, and you won't hear anything about that thread again. It doesn't mean you won, but it'll feel like you did.
If you use Inbox, Google has announced you now have Smart Emoji replies (this actually works). They say, "In our testing, we've also found that emoji do a better job of plumbing the emotional depths of one's soul." Just open a reply, and Inbox will suggest some emoji. ?
You can explore Funky Town in Google Maps today. Just open the search interface and you should see "Explore Funky Town." You'll get a little animation of peg man dancing. There are at least two different animations, maybe more. There are also some Funky Town links in the maps, and in the offline map area.
Seach by Emoji
Google's going hard on emoji this year. The Photos team has announced search by emoji. It appears to only work on dogs dressed like things, though.
Udell Enterprises (app dev)
FaceGuard will protect your watch from scratches, except it totally won't because it's a joke.
This is a little outside our area, but Razer is making a toaster now (not really). Project Breadwinner has some sweet LEDs and you can help them put the finishing touches on it by answering some toast-related questions.
This year Samsung has announced the Internet of Trousers. They're smart pants! The connected pants include things like a Wi-Fly, get up alert, keep-your-pants-on mode, and fridge lock. Oh god, I bet smart pants are going to be a real thing someday.
Nissan Australia
If you are single and drive a Nissan, you now have access to N-Connect, a dating app for your car. This totally real (not) thing helps you find like-minded drivers for a little chat. Frankly, this almost sounds like a thing someone would try to Kickstart.
There's a new pegman in the main Google Maps interface. He looks like this, courtesy of Slashgear.
Google Cardboard Platstic
The new Cardboard Plastic is the first actual reality headset. It almost looks real!
Google/Nat and Lo
I have no comment.
Google re-invented the book by making a phone simpler. They call it realBooks. Imagine you have a phone for each book on your shelf instead of physical books. That's it.
Google Express
Delivery drones? Nope, parachute deliveries.
What's more material than material? Material Zero-G. It's a new floating layer that's way, way above all the others. Bigger shadows, bigger buttons, bigger meaning.
Do you miss the days of Holo? Nova Launcher has a new Holo mode, available exclusively in this suspicious April 1st build.
Reddit /r/android
It looks like XDA today. If you found this post helpful, don't forget to press "thanks."
Following up Binge On, T-Mobile now has Binge John. It's a bunch of John Legere videos that are provided to Tmo users free of charge. They appear to be YouTube videos, so that's kind of true if you have Binge On enabled. There's also Binge On Up, which is a head-mounted device holder. I bet they stole someone's Indiegogo idea for this one.
It's a fashion detection API. Makes sense.
What goes well with a Chromebook? Chrome. No, not the browser, the finish. Now you can get a Chrome Chromebook Pixel. It's SO SHINY.
The latest ill-defined feature from YouTube is SnoopaVision. It's a 360-degree video mode with Snoop Dogg. Details are scarce because it doesn't actually exist.
Google Fiber
In order to transport a human being, you'd need a lot of bandwidth. A person represents a huge amount of data, so you'd need transfer speeds a billion times faster than Google Fiber. Well, now Google Fiber is working on that. There won't be data caps because "the last thing we want is for our subscribers to be trapped in the Internet because they ran out of data."
They're putting sandstone on everything.
Google X
Compression of data is just the start. X wants to compress the physical world (with Silicon Valley tie-in).
Want to buy a new Fossil watch? Tough, the site is backward (a few refreshes should fix it)
The FaceShield is a product that we really need. No longer will you have to worry about dropping your phone on your face while using it in bed.
The struggle is real out there. Unfortunately, this #LenovoFaceShield isn't. Happy #AprilFools Day!https://t.co/iBBRBnAPqm

Google Nederland
The Dutch don't really drive cars very much, but they do ride bikes. That's why Google is working on self-driving bikes.

Tag: Paypal
Week Adjourned: 3.3.17 – Paypal, AT&T, Airbags
Posted on March 3 2017 - by Author LucyC
PayPal no pal of small charities? Maybe… The online payment processor got hit with a consumer fraud class action lawsuit this week, claiming the company's charitable arm takes funds from donors for various causes but fails to make the donations unless the charity had set up several accounts. Nice.
The complaint was filed by Friends For Health, a nonprofit supporting the North Shore Health Center in Highland Park, Illinois, and one of 10 charities that plaintiff Terry Kass attempted to donate.
The Paypal lawsuit claims that the funds donated were never received by the charities as the PayPal Giving Fund took control of the money and donated it to organizations of its choosing. The lawsuit asserts that PayPal did this because the charities chosen by Kass hadn't set up the requisite PayPal accounts.
Specifically, the lawsuit states "On its face, PayPal Giving Fund is an admirable endeavor; however, in practice, it falls woefully short of that mission on numerous fronts." And: "PayPal Giving Fund is currently listing charities on its website that are not registered to receive donations, failing to inform donors that unregistered charities will not receive their donations, failing to notify unregistered charities that donations have been made to them and redirecting unclaimed donations from the intended unregistered recipient charities to organizations of their own choosing without notice to the donor or intended recipient."
According to the complaint, while many large charities have established PayPal Giving Fund accounts, hundreds of thousands of smaller charities have not. PayPal Giving Fund platform was established by PayPal in 2013 to make it easier for their customers to donate money to their favorite charities.
If a PayPal customer's chosen charities don't establish accounts and fail to claim the donations within six months, PayPal doesn't inform them that an attempted donation has been made, according to the complaint. Rather, PayPal's charitable platform "surreptitiously" donates the money without regard to the customer's donation wishes, the complaint states.
The case is Friends for Health: Supporting the North Shore Health Center et al. v. PayPal Inc. et al., case number 1:17-cv-01542, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois.
Text in any language… This week's Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) class action was filed against AT&T alleging the company has violated the TCPA by sending unsolicited spam text messages in Spanish, to people's cellphones. No!
Filed by plaintiff Ali Gadelhak, who is not an AT&T customer, the AT&T text lawsuit claims that AT&T used an automated dialing service to deliver text messages to Gadelhak's cellphone, knowing they were doing so and without his prior consent, which is in direct violation of the TCPA.
Gadelhak alleges the messages caused harm in numerous ways, including by diminishing the battery life of his cellular phone and wasting its data storage capacity.
"Defendant has caused plaintiff and members of the putative class actual harm, not only because consumers were subjected to the aggravation, waste of time and invasion of privacy that necessarily accompanies mobile spam, but also because consumers frequently have to pay their cellphone service providers for the receipt of such spam," the complaint states. According to the suit, Gadelhak received a text message from AT&T on July 15 that was in Spanish and which asked him to participate in a customer satisfaction survey. Gadelhak isn't an AT&T customer and doesn't speak Spanish.
Gadelhak claims he responded to the text message twice, asking the sender to identify himself or herself. However, he then received more survey questions in Spanish that appeared to be automated. According to the complaint, Gadelhak's cellphone number has been registered on the National Do Not Call Registry since May 23, 2014.
Gadelhak is seeking actual damages of up to $500 and treble* damages up to $1,500 per class member for every call that violated the TCPA. Further, Gadelhak is asking for certification of a subclass of individuals who received the text message specifically asking recipients to complete the customer satisfaction survey.
The case is Ali Gadelhak v. AT&T Corp., case number 1:17-cv-01559, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois.
*What the heck is 'treble damages', you ask? Good Q. It's when a statute permits a court to triple the amount of the compensatory damages to be awarded; treble damages are a multiple of, and not an addition to, actual damages.
Airbag settlement in the works… Here's the blockbuster this week—this year and possibly this century—at least so far. But, not everyone is happy.
Takata Corporation agreed to pay $1 billion to settle multi-district litigation this week. In case missed this—the allegations are that the airbag manufacturer was aware of the fatal defect with its airbags but sold them anyway. At least 11 deaths have been linked to the airbags, which can explode due to a design defect.
According to the proposed airbag settlement terms Takata will plead guilty to wire fraud. However, Plaintiffs have objected to the proposed deal on the grounds that it doesn't address the culpability of TK Holdings Inc., Takata's US, subsidiary, and that the Department of Justice had been misled in its investigation.
Additionally, Takata has agreed to pay a $25 million criminal fine and will establish a $125 million restitution fund for people who were injured or will be injured by a malfunctioning Takata air bag inflator.
Automobile manufacturers will also benefit from the deal, with the creation of an $850 million fund to benefit for automakers who received the falsified data and reports or who purchased the potentially dangerous inflators.
The cases are United States of America v. Takata Corp., case number 2:16-cr-20810, in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan, and In re: Takata Airbag Products Liability Litigation, case number 1:15-md-02599, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida.
Good thing Takata may be putting this one behind them as they'll need to focus on the latest airbag recall: Ford just issued a recall for about 32,000 2016-2017 Ford Edge, 2016-2017 Lincoln MKX and 2017 Lincoln Continental vehicles. The affected models have built dates between November 11, 2014 and February 15, 2017. Why? If the front driver airbag deploys, the airbag might only partially fill—or its cushion might also separate from the airbag module. Not the best situation in an accident…
According to reports, Ford will notify owners of the issue and have them return to dealerships for installation of a replacement part to correct things.
Ok – That's a wrap for this week. See you at the bar!

The Product that Prompted This Capriotti's Superfan to Open a Sandwich Franchise
Jun 26, 2019 | Franchising
After working for two decades as an electrical engineer, Amy Marsh traded in semiconductors for sandwiches and brought one of the first Capriotti's sandwich franchises to California.
"They may not seem entirely related, but engineering and restaurant management skills are complementary to one another," Amy said. "They each require team leadership and problem-solving skills. But, owning a restaurant is definitely a lot more fun."
When Amy was ready to move on from her 20-year tenure in engineering, she was set on Capriotti's and didn't look into any other franchise opportunities.
Driven by an unwavering love for our wildly popular product, Capriotti's was always the business she knew she wanted to own.
"It was never even a question – my leap into business ownership was always going to be with Capriotti's," Amy said. "My husband is from [Capriotti's hometown] Delaware, so whenever we would go back to visit family, Capriotti's would always be one of our very first stops. We are both definitely superfans of the brand."
Great Taste in Sandwiches Turns Restaurant Goers into Restaurant Regulars
Amy's husband grew up eating Capriotti's, ever since our founders Lois and Alan Margolet set up shop in the Little Italy Village of Wilmington, Delaware. Since the establishment of the 1976 mom-and-pop sub shop, our brand has exploded to more than 100 nationwide locations and counting.
With few superb sub shops in their area, however – and none like Capriotti's – Amy was excited to bring the brand to her neighborhood. In April 2016, she opened the doors to her San Jose Capriotti's Sandwich Shop.
Amy was eager to share her passion for the product with her fellow San Francisco Bay Area residents and says the relationships she's developed with guests remains one of her favorite parts of the business.
"You meet so many people you wouldn't have met otherwise, and it's just fun to get to know your regulars and be involved in the community in that way," Amy said. "As long as you're able to make those connections, and owning the restaurant stays profitable and fun, it's well worth the work you put into it."
One of Amy's best customers and favorite restaurant regular is a tenant living in the apartment above her Capriotti's. Amy says he comes down every week to catch up, grab his go-to sandwich and pick up some chicken for his cat.
"His cat is very old, and it turns out our chicken is one of the only things she can eat right now," Amy said. "I'm a little biased, but I think that's because the quality of the food is so good, and because it's natural, wholesome and hand-prepared, it's just better for her."
Converting California into a Community of CAPAddicts
Engaging with restaurant regulars isn't the only way Amy stays involved in her local community. She's also a member of her local chamber of commerce and caters between 10 and 15 chamber events each year – creating a new community of CAPAddicts with each sandwich.
"It's fun bringing this amazing food to new people by catering these events, and it's always exciting to see their initial reaction after that first bite," Amy said. "They come up to you and grab a sandwich just because it's free food, and they pick up their sample and start to walk away. But then, so many times, they take a bite and are surprised by how good it is, and they turn around and say, 'Wow I've never had a sandwich like this. Where can I find this restaurant?'"
In the foodservice industry, Amy says a passion for the product is paramount to your success.
"You really have to love what you're serving to people, and you have to truly believe in it," Amy said. "One of the reasons I started this business was because of a love for the food, and I am so proud of the product and always really enjoy going to events and bringing it to new people."
In February, Amy decided to bring the product to an even wider audience, when she took over ownership of a second Capriotti's Sandwich Shop in Concord, California.
"I'm so excited to continue growing with the brand, introduce more people to the phenomenal product and continue to really love what I'm doing every day," she said.

Blockchain Bites: Dorsey Challenges Coinbase, Nasdaq Lists Diginex, Ethereum Miners Profit
The Australian government is investing big in modern technology, Nasdaq saw its first crypto exchange operator listing and revenues are surging for Ethereum miners amid increased network activity.
Who won #CryptoTwitter?
Australia modernizes
Australia will commit A$800 million (US$575 million) to invest in digital technologies as part of its coronavirus recovery plan, Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced Tuesday. The federal plan will see US$256.6 million for a digital identity solution, $419.9 million to fully implement the Modernising Business Registers (MBR) program, $22.2 million for small businesses training to utilize digital technologies and two blockchain pilot programs totalling $6.9 million. "The Plan supports Australia's economic recovery by removing out-dated regulatory barriers, boosting the capability of small businesses and backs the uptake of technology across the economy," Morrison said in the announcement.
Nasdaq launch
Blockchain services firm Diginex has become the first crypto exchange operator to list on Nasdaq. The stock went live Thursday morning under the EQOS ticker symbol, a nod to the firm's EQUOS.io trading platform. CoinDesk's Nathan DiCamillo reports Diginex's back-door listing came through a merger with a special-purpose acquisition company (SPAC). Diginex CEO Richard Byworth said he expects a mix of global retail and institutional investors to buy shares. Over time, he expects the majority of Diginex shareholders to be U.S. investors because of the Nasdaq listing.
Dorsey responds
Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey tweeted his disapproval of Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong's mission statement to keep his company free and clear of politics. Dorsey argued that by the very act of being a crypto exchange, Coinbase was always already engaged in politics. "Bitcoin (aka 'crypto') is direct activism against an unverifiable and exclusionary financial system which negatively affects so much of our society. Important to at least acknowledge and connect the related societal issues your customers face daily. This leaves people behind," Dorsey tweeted. Armstrong made waves this week – in and out of crypto – when saying Coinbase, and its employees, should keep work and activism separate.
Election predictions
Putting stake to their claims, many crypto-political gamblers have cast their vote predicting who might win the contentious U.S. presidential election. CoinDesk markets editor Lawrence Lewitinn looked at the data following this week's first presidential debate and found many are betting incumbent President Donald Trump will lose in November. While bettors on decentralized betting platforms like Augur and futures markets on FTX aren't as bullish on the challenger, former Vice President Joe Biden, he does have the odds. "Thus what's true at the time of publication can change on a dime. It is now fewer than five weeks until Election Day. Buckle up!" Lewitinn warns.
Mining profits
HIVE Blockchain has reported its best-ever quarter, as the mining firm raked in record fees from the frenzied activity in decentralized finance (DeFi) over the summer. The Toronto-listed mining company released its unaudited results Thursday, saying it mined a total of 32,000 ether (ETH) and 121,000 ethereum classic (ETC) in the second fiscal quarter ending Sept. 30. Per CoinDesk's price data, that comes to nearly $11.8 million for mining ether, and a further $664,000 for ethereum classic – approximately $12.4 million at time of writing. The figures represent a near 30% increase from the 25,000 ETH that HIVE mined in the first quarter and a 50% increase in the same quarter in 2019.
Stealth launch
In the latest effort to smooth a path for buttoned-up investors, Talos, an institutional-grade conduit to the crypto ecosystem, is emerging from stealth mode to serve brokers, custodians, exchanges and over-the-counter (OTC) trading desks. The platform started out in 2018 and is backed by an impressive list of investors including Autonomous Partners, Castle Island Ventures, Coinbase Ventures and Initialized Capital. Over the past year or so, Talos has been quietly onboarding a core group of capital market participants, so that the platform can make its debut in a revenue-generating state.
SEC action
Wednesday, a U.S. judge ruled Kik's $100 million token raise was in violation of securities laws. This is essentially the denouement to a year's long battle between the Canadian messaging app and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Though Kik will have an opportunity to appeal.
Responding to the SEC's motion to summary judgment – where the regulator can ask to conclude a trial based on "undisputed material facts," rather than engaging in a trial – U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein found Kik's "token distribution event" (TDE) satisfied the three prongs of the Howey Test.
CoinDesk's Nikhilesh De reports that initial coin offerings (ICOs) and token sales have been treated as unregistered securities sales for the most part by the SEC.
Kik became a champion for crypto freedoms when challenging the SEC's claims that its kin ICO – which the company pursued in lieu of VC backing – was an unregistered securities offering. The firm's CEO Ted Livingston took a gamble, selling off his messaging business in 2019 and going all in on kin.
"We are getting sued by the SEC. We are going to go to court to fight them. We believe they are wrong," Livingston told CoinDesk in 2019. Several times, and in different ways, he asserted: "It's not that we did something wrong. It's that we did it first."
In a statement, Livingston said he was "disappointed in this ruling," and that the company is considering its options, including a potential appeal.
Preston Byrne, a CoinDesk columnist and Anderson Kill lawyer, tweeted: "Tl;dr the court shredded Kik. Don't f*** around with tokens in America."
Notably, in a separate action, the SEC has ordered Salt Lending to offer investors refunds for its 2017 ICO. Salt has agreed to settle the action and will pay a $250,000 civil penalty to the Commission in the next 10 days.
Crash for cash
Bitcoin faced selling pressure in September as the U.S. dollar rose against major currencies for the first time in six months. The cryptocurrency fell by over 7% over the period – the biggest monthly percentage decline since March, according to CoinDesk's Bitcoin Price Index, when prices fell by nearly 25% as the coronavirus-induced crash in the global equity markets triggered a global dash for cash, sending the dollar higher. Bitcoin's latest monthly decline is again accompanied by an uptick in the greenback.
Eth revenues
Ethereum miners earned over six times more in fees compared to those working on Bitcoin in September. Glassnode data shows Ethereum's total transaction fees stood at an all-time high of $166 million for the month – far more than the $26 million taken in Bitcoin fees. Fee revenue on Ethereum first outpaced Bitcoin's in June, the same month decentralized lender Compound released its governance token and kick-started the DeFi mania, CoinDesk's Paddy Baker reports.
Matt Luongo, founder of Thesis, writes that Bitcoiners who stack sats and people who use decentralized finance share common cause. "Bitcoiners who stack sats should take a hard look at the decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms seeing explosive growth on Ethereum. While the optics may call to mind the wild speculation of 2017, the truth is that much of the growth in DeFi is driven by the same sound money principles as stacking," he writes.
Amy Webb, a quantitative futurist and founder of the strategic foresight firm Future Today Institute, thinks the world can, indeed, get worse. In an interview with CoinDesk, as part of the Internet 2030 series, she lays out her vision for the world where big tech only gets bigger. The conversation has been excerpted below.
Do you see a genuine way out through distributed technologies that may give people control over their own data?
I worry about people who never update their passwords – should we entrust them to manage sensitive data? There are complex questions about data hygiene, data governance, compliance, risk. Distributed tech solutions solve some of our problems, but not all.
Few people have an understanding of how data are collected, by whom, for what purpose. There are lots of organizations proposing some kind of "ownership" model, where we individually would "own" our data. What does that mean?
I want consumers to be much better aware of what data they are generating – that includes the digital emissions they're releasing without realizing it. Think of all the metadata being generated by our connected devices, the ambient sounds in our homes and offices, our movements and gestures. All of those digital emissions, plus the PIIs collected now by contract tracing apps and biometric scanning systems – I mean, we're swimming in data.
What might the cultural or political effects be of an ever-greater consolidated and extractive web?
We talk about privacy a lot, and journalists certainly write a lot of stories about data sharing, privacy and consolidation within the tech sector. But when it comes to everyday consumers and business leaders, it just doesn't seem like these are priority issues. We'll feel the effects when there is litigation, new policy or sweeping policy enacted.

In the healthy beverage industry, there is a wide range of ingredients offered, from aloe to coconut water to kombucha. Young active people are always looking to the next trending healthy product, with its unusual yet healthy ingredients.
With the help of two fellow graphic design classmates, we were able to create the next healthy beverage concept: seaweed-based tea. I know what you're thinking, seaweed?? Yes, it is quite unusual and at first not that enticing, but seaweed has a ton of health benefits. It helps with thyroid problems, digestive and cardiovascular health, and helps improve liver function.
Through our research and audience findings, we created a transparent, satirical, healthy beverage product that would hit the ground running in major health-driven stores. Our brand, Tangled Tea, is meaningful, engaging, and capitalizes on the opportunities available in the current health drink market.
We have branded a seaweed-based tea that is blended with a variety of different flavors and ingredients that cater to common health issues. Some benefits of seaweed are that it helps with thyroid problems, digestive and cardiovascular health, and helps improve liver function.
Due to the unusual ingredient of seaweed, we want our brand to have a sense of humor and wittiness to draw consumers in.
When naming our brand, we wanted to go with a light hearted approach, as seaweed isn't a super appealing ingredient. We wanted something catchy that alluded to seaweed without shouting it from the rooftops.
The name we chose was "Tangled Tea." The word "tangled" best references seaweed while having a nice alliteration with the word "tea" to create a catchy and appealing brand name.
We chose a font that looks authentic and hand written while still having a strong presence. This font choice plays to the authenticity of our drink and brand. We surrounded it with a brush stroke border to give it a stamp-like effect and push the strong presence forward.
We also created the tagline, "Don't get your tea bags in a bunch" to pair with the sense of humor in the brand. The logo will be paired with the tagline only when needed.

Here's Why There's Just One Rock Song in 'A Quiet Place'
Jeff Giles
Sound design is a huge part of what makes any movie work, but it's the type of thing that a lot of filmgoers tend not to notice most of the time — unless they're watching a movie like A Quiet Place, in which a single family fights to survive in the midst of an alien horde that has conquered Earth through hunting by sound.
It is, understandably, a singularly hushed horror film — but one rock classic still manages to make an appearance during a key scene.
That song is — spoiler alert! — Neil Young's "Harvest Moon." Fittingly, it's the title track from an album Young recorded to take a respite from the high-volume skronk and feedback noise he'd indulged throughout an early '90s run that included Ragged Glory and his Arc/Weld live set.
"I made Harvest Moon because I didn't want to hear any loud sounds. I still have a little bit of tinnitus, but fortunately now I'm not as sensitive to loud sounds as I was for a year after the mixing of Weld," Young told Mojo. "My hearing's not perfect but it's okay. I'm not sure what's going on, but the point is I can still hear well enough to get off on what I'm doing. There's still a lot of detail I can pick up. I'm a fanatic for hearing detail and that's not been lost, though I've got these other sounds I have to deal with too."
Whether that's information that A Quiet Place star, director and co-writer John Krasinksi was privy to is unclear. But as producer Andrew Form recently told Den of Geek, the scene in which "Harvest Moon" is heard — during a dance shared by Krasinski's character and his wife (Emily Blunt) as they listen to the song on earbuds — was filmed pretty much the way it was written, despite what licensing the song meant for such a low-budget outing.
"The amazing thing about that is 'Harvest Moon' is a very expensive Neil Young song, and this is a lower budget movie, which did not have a music budget for a song like that. But that song meant so much to John, and the first time I read the script it was in there. ... He would not stop until we got that song," Form told Den of Geek. "He's like, 'Who do I need to talk to?' And sure enough, it's in the movie."
As those who've seen the horror hit can attest, that scene serves an important emotional purpose in A Quiet Place — and aside from perhaps unintentionally tying in with Young's attempt to escape loud noise for awhile, it also underscores the album's deeper themes in general. As Young told Rolling Stone after Harvest Moon's release, although aliens were not involved, it's definitely a song cycle about survival.
"What this album is about is this feeling, this ability to survive and continue and grow and get higher than you were before," Young noted. "Not just maintain, not just feel well. Not just 'I'm still alive at 45.' You can be more alive."
On the other hand, maybe it really isn't that deep — as Mashable points out, Krasinski's characters do seem to have a thing for sharing earbuds.

Young People Aren't Having Sex In New York
By Ryan O'Connell, March 16th 2011
http://tcat.tc/116j26O
The New York Observer has run a very interesting piece about the supposed sexless lives of twenty-something New Yorkers. According to writer Nate Freeman, people have sold their sex lives for a large following on Twitter, cocaine, and an iPhone. He writes:
Young New Yorkers no longer care about having sex. It's not the endgame, nor even the animating force of social interaction. Men and women still get dressed up, but not for the purpose of taking off their clothes in another's company. What used to signify desire or the desire to be desired now boils down to narcissism. How will I look on Patrick McMullan tomorrow? Or just on Facebook?
As a twenty-something whose career exists in the blogosphere, I would be lying if I said this article didn't touch a nerve. Since I started writing full-time, I've started my own Twitter and seen a rise in my followers, I get emails from gay babes a few times a week congratulating me on my work and exuding some virtual flirtation, and I have more Facebook friends than I've ever had in my life. On paper, it would seem my social life has been enhanced, not decreased. But what has it all amounted to? Not a lot of sex, I'll tell you that. To a certain extent, I do agree with this notion that young people are too busy fucking themselves to actually get around to fucking anyone else. With the rise in social media, people feel more connected to each other than ever, but wonder why they're going home alone each night and ordering delivery food. "I have 3,000 people following me on Twitter. Will one of them just fuck me?" Social interactions have become so mechanical and constructed that a tender moment spent lying in bed with someone and snuggling is almost jarring. Any moments spent offline are getting to be uncomfortable, which is terrifying. That being said, will my sex life resume its usual course if I sign offline? New York City has always been a place that's full of people who are career first, personal life second. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if people had less sex here than, say, in Iowa. After all, there's nothing to do in Iowa besides have sex, right?
But here's the thing. This major Blogger Boy Problem only applies to a small portion of the population. You really can't make blanket statements like "twenty-somethings aren't boning in New York" when it's really just me and everyone at the New York Observer, The New York Times and any other New York-based publication. People will always want to have sex and for those who aren't, maybe they should stop letting the Internet cockblock them, and get down to business. After reading this article, I know I am. Just give me a second to tweet about it.

Trace the scars life has left you. It will remind you that at one point, you fought for something. You believed.
"You are the only person who gets to decide if you are happy or not—do not put your happiness into the hands of other people. Do not make it contingent on their acceptance of you or their feelings for you. At the end of the day, it doesn't matter if someone dislikes you or if someone doesn't want to be with you. All that matters is that you are happy with the person you are becoming. All that matters is that you like yourself, that you are proud of what you are putting out into the world. You are in charge of your joy, of your worth. You get to be your own validation. Please don't ever forget that." — Bianca Sparacino

As someone who has never had sex, this article really struck a chord with me. Now I know that it's okay and no one else has either.

'Never had sex' and 'not having sex anymore' are two very different things. Both are totally fine but there is a big distinction.
http://tattoosnob.com	Julene
Painfully true. I met more "interested" dudes in a month in the midwest than I have in six in NYC. Then again, this 4 (or is it 5?)-to-1 ratio of heterosexual females to males is not helping anything.
Is that 140 characters? Quick, someone stroke my e-go.
I always hear about that ratio but I think it only hurts women and doesn't advantage men.
That might be true, but I've seen some real stunners with dudes on the train that made me… wonder a bit. Especially due to accidental-on-purpose eavesdropping.
Hopefully the next column on TC will be advice for men on how to take advantage of this huge gender gap.
Oh that's easy. Pick up a copy of 'The Game' by Neil Strauss. Ignore all douchey references to jewelery and magic tricks, utilize all tools for actual interaction with females. Then read 'God Hates Us All' by Hank Moody. If you can't work it out between those two, seek therapy. I know of a pretty good shrink in midtown, if needed.
Thank you! I will check that out. I don't want to just "pick up" women though for casual sex. So I don't know if this will work.
But I will read both of those, memorize the entire Qur'aan and undergo therapy anyway because is there any person who isn't better off by seeing a therapist?
Another hint: it always starts casual, unless she's insane and has more daddy issues than the average girl. Using the stuff in those books makes you… I don't want to say more interesting, but aware of the need to be semi-elusive and therefore interest-worthy.
I'm not campaigning for anyone to turn into a jerk, but being too available or too interested seems to be the kiss of death in this town.

I'd be curious to see a flow-chart with online usage vs. offline sex life per city. Toronto is one of the most connected cities in the world (I am pretty sure it beats NYC, actually) and I am also pretty sure almost everyone I know in Toronto isn't having sex. But the three people I know who don't have FB are all having sex.
Tommmmmm
That's true. I'm from Toronto, I'm on facebook and I'm not having sex.
Ditch FB, get laid. NOTED.
(Wait, does this include you? I saw your post on the right to disappear online which means… YOU MIGHT ACTUALLY BE HAVING SEX OMG.)

It's worse being straight. Try saying hello to a possible casual fuck who's much too busy texting on her billion dollar phone to even look up, and then if she does, only to sort of snort-chortle at your ancient hardware. It's easier than ever with older ladies, though, because dudes their own age are busy with the same technology trying to nail girls my age. So I guess it all works out.

We need your help to ensure this amazing story is captured.
The ongoing sixty-year predator/prey study of wolves and moose on Isle Royale provides the backdrop for a new chapter of understanding regarding these two iconic animals and the ecosystem in which they interact. The future story is yet to be written.
This is a multiyear project that will fund an educational documentary geared toward K-12 students. It will chronicle reintroduction efforts and research with a holistic view and balanced reporting of the factors and conditions the introduction of new wolves to Isle Royale will generate.
Natural Resources and Forestry (OMNRF) successfully transferred two wolves from Michipicoten Island Provincial Park and two from the adjacent Ontario mainland to Isle Royale National Park.
Earlier this winter severe winter weather on both sides of the border hampered the ability to capture and transfer wolves. However, with the goal of balancing the male/female wolf ratio on Isle Royale combined with a need for robust wolf genetics from Canada, OMNRF personnel remained committed to providing wolves from Michipicoten Island Provincial Park to support the repopulation of Isle Royale. Knowing weather could once again prevent access to Michipicoten, OMNRF devised a strategy to acquire wolves from the mainland in Ontario if they were unable to access the island.
Over the course of four days, two mainland wolves, one female and one male from the same pack and both with a black coat color variation, were captured on crown land near Wawa and transferred to Isle Royale. Weather cleared long enough on Thursday to provide an opportunity to access Michipicoten Island, where two males were captured; one at the very end of the day as operations were winding down.
All the wolves were captured using OMNRF aircraft. The operation was coordinated by Kevin Middel, OMNRF, and Brent Patterson, OMNRF researcher and Trent University adjunct professor. Two National Park Service veterinarians, Michelle Verant and Jenny Powers along with Graham Crawshaw, an OMNRF veterinarian, supported the project to ensure animal welfare and assess the health of the wolves to be transferred. Two veterinarians completed health assessments in Wawa and one veterinarian received the wolves on Isle Royale to ensure they were fit for release. All four wolves were evaluated based on expectations for winter body conditions and deemed healthy enough for transfer and release.
The first Canadian wolf, a 65 pound female, arrived at Isle Royale on Tuesday afternoon. The next day, OMNRF successfully captured a large 92 pound male from the same pack. He was held for evaluation and transported to Isle Royale and released on Thursday. The clear skies on Thursday finally allowed OMNRF to access Michipicoten Island Provincial Park. While there, they captured two male wolves. The first was delivered directly to Isle Royale and released in the late evening hours under clear starry skies on Thursday. The team also captured the alpha male of the Michipicoten Island pack. He was transported and released on Isle Royale Friday.
I am impressed by the resilience this international team showed to overcome adversity and meet project objectives: polar vortex, federal government shutdown, complex aviation logistics, the list is endless," stated Mark Romanski, Division Chief of Natural Resources for Isle Royale National Park and project manager for the reintroduction efforts. He continued, "I am even more blown away by the resilience of these wolves who within hours after undergoing capture and handling and arriving on Isle Royale, immediately got on the trail of their pack mates. These large males, all around 90 lbs., will almost certainly know what to do when they encounter a moose." NPS made the decision to restore predation, a key ecosystem dynamic, to Isle Royale National Park last June and sourcing the startup population from diverse geographic areas was essential to ensure genetic diversity, thus Canadian wolves have been a critical component to future success. Graciously Ontario Premier Doug Ford approved the operation in October to support NPS objectives.
Superintendent of Isle Royale National Park, Phyllis Green stated: " to see these wolves disappear into the forests of Isle Royale and to have an opportunity to start a new generation of wolves on the island fulfilled a major objective in the first year of reestablishing the population. The success reflected six months of planning and represented a major accomplishment by the agencies involved." Changing ice conditions and winter storms foiled a previous attempt to acquire the Canadian wolves. This week afforded only four operating days between weather windows and the success of the operations can be attributed to the planning and expertise of the OMNRF. Green cited the amazing aircraft resources of the OMNRF, normally used for firefighting, which were critical in capturing the wolves and delivering them to Isle Royale National Park.
Additionally, the National Parks of Lake Superior Foundation (NPLSF) has played a crucial role in supporting and documenting the translocation efforts from Canada. When this translocation phase of the project experienced cost overruns due to weather, the Chair, Sona Mehring, worked with the International Wolf Center to ensure the operation continued through the end of the week. The Foundation plans to continue to support the remaining two years of the project and is developing documentary films regarding the project for audiences of all ages.
"We have been planning this relocation operation with our partners and are very pleased with the progress so far," said Superintendent Phyllis Green. "Releasing these two wolves on the island is the first step to restoring the ecological dynamic in the park. The assistance of all our partners is critical to the success of this effort." On this project, the NPS is collaborating with the Grand Portage Band of Lake Superior Chippewa, Michigan Department of Natural Resources, Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture Wildlife Services, U.S. Geological Survey, University of Minnesota, and multiple NPS units.
The male and female wolves released on the island Wednesday came from different pack territories on the Grand Portage Indian Reservation in northeastern Minnesota. Both wolves received medical examinations by NPS wildlife veterinarian Michelle Verant and wildlife veterinarian Tiffany Wolf of the University of Minnesota, before they were transported. Both were found to be in good condition and apparently healthy. Each wolf weighs approximately 75 pounds and has a thick coat of light tan, gray, and white fur with black markings, which is typical of gray wolves in the region. The wolves were vaccinated and fitted with GPS collars.

La palette de la chasse, appelée également palette de la chasse aux lions, est une palette à fard en grès grauwacke. Fragmentée en trois morceaux, la provenance de ces derniers est inconnue ayant été acquis sur le marché de l'art auprès d'une source inconnue. Datée par comparaison de la période de fin Naqada IIIa-début Naqada IIIb soit autour de - (période prédynastique). Deux morceaux sont actuellement exposés au British Museum à Londres et le troisième au musée du Louvre à Paris.

Découverte
Les fragments ont été acquis entre 1886 et 1888 auprès d'une source anonyme en Égypte par Wallis Budge. Ils ont été enregistrés comme provenant de Tell el-Amarna, probablement à la suite de la confusion avec d'autres objets acquis au même moment sur ce site. Trente ans après leur acquisition, Budge détermina leur provenance comme venant d'Abydos dans son livre By Nile and Tigris : a narrative of journeys in Egypt and Mesopotamia on behalf of the British museum between the years 1886 and 1913.

Du fait du style et de la datation, cette provenance d'Abydos serait confirmée par certains chercheurs.

Datation
Après une première datation par le philologue anglais Wallis Budge, l'archéologue allemand Hermann Ranke reprend cette chronologie. Il distingue deux groupes qui se suivent chronologiquement, la palette de la chasse se situant à la frontière de ceux deux groupes. Pour l'archéologue, c'est la forme oblongue de la palette présentant une représentation complexe et un signe hiéroglyphique qui la met en position d'assurer une transition entre les deux groupes. De nouvelles datations seront effectuées jusqu'à celle de l'archéologue Luc Watrin. À partir de sa révision des Stufen de Werner Kaiser, Luc Watrin date la palette de fin Naqada IIIa-début IIIb.

Description
La palette de la chasse est gravée en bas-relief sur un seul côté. Autour du godet placé en son centre, la palette présente une scène complexe de chasse mêlant chasse aux lions et à d'autres animaux sauvages comme des oiseaux, des lièvres et des gazelles. Les armes utilisées par la vingtaine de chasseurs sont des arcs et des flèches, des masses, des bâtons de jet et des lances.

Recto
Hormis les lions, les animaux sauvages représentés sont la gazelle, l'antilope Springbok, le bubale, le lièvre, l'autruche et une espèce de cerf.

Tous les chasseurs portent la barbe et la plupart ont des coiffes de plumes. Leurs vêtements se compose d'un court kilt avec une queue de renard attachée à l'arrière.  Trois chasseurs portent des signes distinctifs d'une appartenance géographique ou tribale, les autres ne disposent que de leurs armes notamment l'arc, la lance, la masse, le bâton de jet et le lasso appelé également lariat chez certains scientifiques. Les objets arrondis portés par certains des chasseurs ont été interprétés comme des sacs ou des boucliers.

L'identification des canidés fait encore débat parmi les chercheurs. Interprété à l'origine comme des renards ou des chacals, l'analyse de renard fut confirmée par plusieurs scientifiques même si l'identification comme lycaons a également été évoquée. Parmi les chasseurs, un canidé poursuit trois espèces d'antilopes et une autruche entre les deux rangées de chasseurs sur l'extrémité la moins large de l'objet. Un autre canidé, dans la partie la plus large, se précipite sur un Springbok retenu par la corde du lasso d'un chasseur.

Un membre du groupe des chasseurs tente de maintenir un Springbok par les cornes à l'aide de son lasso. Deux lions ont été touchés par des flèches et l'une des bêtes blessées est en train de poursuivre un chasseur. Les flèches appartiennent à la variété à pointe de silex, avec un bord biseauté plutôt qu'une pointe.

Au milieu de la palette, mais légèrement décalée vers l'extrémité la plus large, se trouve une zone plate entourée d'un anneau surélevé, imitant les dépressions circulaires utilisées pour broyer la peinture oculaire sur les palettes fonctionnelles.

À l'extrémité large se trouvent, une bête mythique constituée des parties antérieures liées de deux buffles ou aurochs mâles et un symbole correspondant au hiéroglyphe du sanctuaire, sḥ.

Verso
Le verso ne présente pas de décoration, mais chaque fragment présente diverses traces dont certaines peuvent être interprétées comme des marques récentes de manipulation soit liées aux outils lors de la découvertes soit liées à d'autres outils lors de ses diverses manipulations.

Signification de l'iconographie
Pour l'archéologue Stan Hendrickx, cette chasse est à situer dans le contexte de l'élite prédynastique. Il s'appuie sur l'iconographie montrant, dès le début de la culture nagadienne, un lien étroit entre le pouvoir militaire/politique et la chasse et la consommation de viande d'animaux sauvages dans un contexte rituel ainsi que l'importance de cette consommation dans des cimetières comme le cimetière d'élite HK6.

Pour l'archéologue Jean-Olivier Gransard-Desmond, la queue postiche de renard qui se retrouve également sur la palette de Narmer et la palette de Hiérakonpolis est le précurseur de la queue postiche qui sera l'apanage de pharaon en tant que « grand féticheur », expression empruntée à Jean Yoyotte. Pour lui, l'utilisation qui en est faite dans la palette de la chasse présente une évolution par rapport aux usages précédents de dépouille ou morceau d'animaux sauvages. L'être humain ne se cache plus derrière l'animal au moyen de sa dépouille, mais fusionne partiellement avec lui du fait de l'utilisation d'une partie de l'animal. Ainsi, l'être humain s'octroie une partie des qualités de l'animal pour l'assimiler ou s'en protéger. L'archéologue précise que les raisons qui ont motivé le choix du renard restent inconnues autant que les  qualités attribuées à l'animal.

Fonction de l'objet

Les palettes à fard servent à broyer les minéraux dont sont tirés les fards. Cependant, la palette de la chasse comme tout un groupe de palettes ne semble pas avoir cet usage. En effet, aucune trace d'utilisation n'a été relevée sur cette palette pas plus que sur le groupe de palettes historiées du prédynastique auxquelles la question d'un sens religieux ou cosmogonique se pose.

Confection
Selon l'archéologue Stan Hendrickx, l'exécution d'un artéfact comme la palette de la chasse était confiée à des artisans spécialisés, ce qui justifierait un résultat uniforme.

The American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions (ABCFM) established the American Madura Mission (AAM) in July 1834 with seven missionaries from Jaffna, Ceylon, India. Education was emphasized at the American Madura Mission not only for evangelism, but as a foundation for cultural and economic advancement. By 1836, AAM established thirty-seven schools in Madurai and fifty-six in the surrounding area. That same year, a Plan of Polity was created so that the mission would be autonomous, but still connected to ABCFM. Multiple churches were also formed at this time. After years of discussion, a resolution was passed by ABCFM in April 1839 to create a seminary to train Indian mission workers. Missionary William Tracy gathered thirty-four boys from local boarding schools in 1842 to begin the seminary. A permanent establishment did not occur until 1844 when Pasumalai was chosen, located two miles southwest of Madurai City; it was fully functional by 1847. The Pasumalai Seminary evolved, was renamed Union Theological Seminary at Pasumalai and would eventually merge with other seminaries to become the Tamilnadu Theological Seminary in 1969. The American Madura Mission continued to broaden its scope, reaching out with Bible teaching focused towards women. Christianity as a whole began to take precedence as opposed to the focus on an individual. Medical and industrial education and work became a focus into the twentieth century. The work of the American Madura Mission slowly became the work of the Church of South India, and missionaries were not replaced. The AAM no longer exists as a separate entity.
John J. Banninga was an American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions missionary in Madura from 1901-1942.
