The 2021 Crop Insurance Decision Tool has been released to aid in crop insurance decisions. It is a Microsoft Excel workbook that can be downloaded from farmdoc (here). One sheet in this workbook provides farmer-paid premiums for different federally-regulated policies administered through the Risk Management Agency. This Premium Calculator has been revised to include Enhanced Coverage Option (ECO), a new plan available for the first time this year (see farmdoc daily, November 24, 2020, December 8, 2020, December 10, 2020).
2021 Premium Calculator
Figure 1 shows the 2021 Premium Calculator, which gives farmer-paid premiums for a user-specified county and crop, corn for LaSalle County in Illinois in this example (see top left corner of Figure 1). Once a state and crop is selected, default values are brought in for all parameter items, which have blue lettering on yellow background. Defaults represent a typical case for the county, and can be changed.
Once county and crop have been selected, three sets of premiums are given in three panels 1) Individual Farm Level Plans, 2) Supplemental Coverage Option (SCO) and Enhanced Coverage Option (ECO), and 3) County Level Plans.
Individual Farm Level Plans
Farm-level plans insure yield or revenue using yields from the insured unit. There are three plans for farm coverage:
Revenue Protection (RP). RP provides revenue insurance with the guarantee increase.
Revenue Protection with the harvest price exclusion (RPhpe). RPhpe provides revenue insurance without a guarantee increase.
Yield Protection (YP). YP provided yield insurance.
Premiums are given from the low coverage level of 50% up to the highest coverage level of 85%. For each plan, premiums are given for three different insurance units:
Enterprise — all of one crop in a county.
Basic — all of one crop in a county under the same ownership split. All owned and cash rent farmland will be in one basic unit, while each share rent farmland under differing ownership will form another unit.
Optional — divides basic units into units based on township sections.
Premiums are given for each type of unit based on parameters specific to that insurance unit, given in yellow at the top of the panel:
Actual Production History (APH) yield is based on the last ten years of yields with substitutions made for low yields. The APH yield for the example farm in Figure 1 is 183 bu/acre.
TA/YE Adjustment indicates whether the Trend Adjustment and Yield Exclusion (YE) is used. In the example, the "TA" selection indicates that the trend adjustment is used.
Trend Adjusted (TA) yield is the APH yield adjusted for trend. The TA yield for the example farm in Figure 1 is 195 bu/acre.
Rate yield typically is the historic yield from the unit. If no yields are substituted, the rate and APH yields often are the same, which if often the case in northern and central Illinois. In the example, rate yield is 183 bu/acre, the same as the APH yield.
Risk class indicates whether the farmland is in an area of high risk as denoted by the Risk Management Agency. In the example, "none selected" means that the unit does not contain high risk farmland.
Acres are the total acres in the unit. The example unit in Figure 1 has 100 acres.
Type of crop. The type of crop in the example, is "grain", a standard type in Illinois.
Practice in production. The type of crop in the example, is "non-irrigated". Corn also has an "irrigated" practices.
The Tool will bring in default values that represents the average or prominent inputs for the particular county.
Supplemental Coverage Option (SCO) and Enhanced Coverage Option (ECO)
When a farm-level plan is purchased, farmers also can purchase county-level products that provide coverage on top of the farm-level coverage:
Supplemental Coverage Option (SCO) provides protection for 86% to the underlying farm level policy (farmdoc Daily, March 12, 2019, January 31, 2020).
Enhanced Coverage Option (ECO) provides protection from either 90% or 95% down to 86% (see farmdoc Daily, November 24, 2020, December 8, 2020, December 10, 2020).
ECO is new this year and can be purchased with or without SCO. Use of either (or both) ECO and SCO requires the purchase of an underlying farm-level COMBO policy.
Users of the Tool can choose the underlying farm-level product: RP, RPhpe, or YP. Based on this choice, the Tool will bring in the appropriate SCO and ECO quotes. In the example shown in Figure 1, SCO and ECO are shown for RP. The highest SCO premium is $4.34 per acre when the underlying RP policy has a coverage level of less than 65%. The lowest SCO premium is $.76 per acre for the 85% RP policy.
There are two premium costs for ECO, one for each of the coverage band options. ECO has an $8.02 per acre farmer paid premium to cover the band from 90% to 86%. An ECO-95% policy provides coverage from 95% down to 86% for a farmer-paid premium of $24.04 per acre.
The SCO and ECO panel also shows total premium costs for combinations of the underling COMBO plan, SCO, and ECO. These are shown in green in the right-hand portion of the SCO and ECO panel. In Figure 1, RP is used as the underlying policy at the enterprise unit level, as indicated by user inputs. Seven combinations are given:
RP (or the underlying COMBO product). These premiums are the same as in the "Individual Farm Level Plans" panel. An 85% RP policy has a farmer-paid premium of $18.70 per acre.
RP plus SCO. Purchasing an 85% RP and SCO has a cost of $19.46 per acre, the sum of the $18.70 RP and $.76 SCO premiums.
RP plus SCO plus ECO-90%. This combination has a $26.28 per acre farmer-paid premium ($18.70 RP + .76 SCO + $6.82 ECO-90%).
RP plus SCO plus ECO-95%. This combination has a $39.90 per acre farmer-paid premium ($18.70 RP + .76 SCO + $20.44 ECO-95%).
RP plus ECO-90%. SCO does not have to be purchased with ECO. This combination has a $25.52 per acre farmer-paid premium ($18.70 RP + $6.82 ECO-90%).
RP plus ECO-95%. SCO does not have to be purchased with ECO. This combination has a $39.14 per acre farmer-paid premium ($18.70 RP + $20.44 ECO-90%).
County Level Plans
County products make payments based on county revenue or county yields. Plans include
Area Revenue Protection (ARP). ARP provides revenue insurance with the guarantee increase.
Area Revenue Protection with the harvest price exclusion (RPhpe). RPhpe provides revenue insurance without a guarantee increase
Area Yield Protection (YP). YP provides yield insurance.
Premiums are given for coverage levels from 70% to 90% in 5% increments. Area plans also can be purchased at protection levels from 120% down to 80% in 1% increments. The Tool gives premiums for an 120% protection levels, a user-specified level, and an 80% coverage level.
The premiums for the example are based on an expected yield of 217 bu/acre for corn in Lasalle County Illinois. Premium levels for the county-level products will vary based on expected yields across counties.
Similar to the previous year, the 2021 Crop Insurance Decision Tool reports estimates of farmer-paid premiums. This year the Tool has been modified to include ECO, a new county-level product available for the first-time.

Release of the 2018 Farm Bill What-If Tool for 2021 Decisions
Revised 2020 and 2021 Crop Budgets Indicate Higher Returns


Hello everyone, and welcome to another installment of Team Rankstar's Tier list! This month, we start to see this swirling maelstrom of a meta-game start to solidify into several strong decks. Shadow is truly a tier one faction and has made it's mark on the format after the release of the Into Shadow Campaign, which contained several very strong cards.
Tier one: The creme de la creme of the format. To be successful in this format, you should learn these decks, whether it's to play them or know how to beat them. Few bad matchups, and even then will have a fighting chance in the hands of a skilled pilot.
Tier 1.5: Great decks that will see a good amount of success on ladder. These decks either need a little bit more expertise to pilot or have a few more bad matchups than the tier one decks (though they are still solid choices).
Tier 2: Very playable decks that can prey on the higher tiers with some success. These builds are great picks into certain metas, but are usually a little bit more situational than the higher tiers and are more matchup dependent.
Tier 3: Decks that have put up some results, but are currently pretty weak against the majority of the field. Playing these decks is unadvised.
to see Haunted Highway at the top.
the best in the format, and they may be right. This deck is often referred to as "FJS Pile," due to the fact that it is a collection of all the most powerful cards in the the three factions. The deck only played good cards before, and with the release of Cauldron Cookbook and Vara Vengeance Seeker, the archetype was pushed over the top, and can grind out almost any opponent with card advantage and efficient removal.
Team Rankstar's Aetherllama has a tendency to show up with off the radar decksand demolish the competition. He won this last week's ETS with this and mostgames didn't seem close. The deck relies on vicious synergies and tempo plays to outplay your opponent, and eventually finish them off with Tavrod or Sword Of Unity. The inclusion of four Dark Returns and four Stand Togethers make you units very hard to deal with. If you can learn this deck inside and out and are familiar with the format, this deck can hang with both of the tier 1 decks of the format.
deck continues to line up well against some of the best decks, we're going to continue to rank it high.
smack your opponent until their life total is zero or less. It does a great job at this but not much else. It's top decks late game can be lackluster and has trouble coming back after it has lost the board. This can be a great meta call into removal heavy decks or a heavy Haunted Highway meta, though Vara can be a huge issue for the deck, since it relies heavily on stand together and sword of unity to protect it's units. Overall, a good deck that's fine against most of the field.
play and one of the most "fun" competitive decks to play right now due to having insane Caiphus turns with Dark Return. Though this deck isn't crazy good versus the field, this deck can go over haunted highway and under FJS, making it a solid choice in certain meta games where those decks will be over-represented.
A deck that continues to see play even though it's not doing the most powerful of things. With it's most recent top 8 of the Eternal Tournament Series we have seen a slight uptick in people trying this out on ladder. It plays similarly to Haunted Highway, though perhaps with much less momentum. Though the power base is fairly consistent (especially compared to Haunted Highway, It loses some tempo without the Madness-Combust combo. sometimes this deck also just loses to a stagnant board or not enough reach towards the end of games. A fun to deck to pilot, and if you know what you are doing, you will see a decent win-rate on ladder.
Tokens is a deck that only really does one thing well – get on the board early, and attack attack attack. With Vara being 6 toughness (and 4 if you sacrifice a token) this deck really needs obliterate in all lists as a 4 of. I_am_Monstrum, tokens connoisseur recently made the top 64 of Dire Wolf Digital's test tournament on Red Market Tokens, something that him and Magikarp have been proponents (meta depending) of for quite awhile now. Magikarp also took 2nd place in this year's last ETS weekly with red market. Hailstorm and Devastating Setback can be a huge issue for the deck, though playing around sweepers is an important skill to have for any aggro player.
SifuDanny was seen last top 8'ing an ETS with this list. A very powerful take on the "Heart of Icaria" archetype of old with some new added spice. Any deck with removal, powerful units, and Cauldron Cookbook has a chance of taking down anything. The only issue with this deck is that FJS mid is just a better cookbook deck. If you're looking for a nice change, put on your hipster glasses and start warping those Heart of the Vaults!
The closest thing that we've seen in an un-interactable combo deck that we've seen since Charge Rod! The problem with this deck is that you can clear all of their bulky units, destroy their mask, and they still can just play their whole deck the next turn. A deck that's pretty rewarding to learn and master as there are many lines that aren't the most intuitive at first glance. This deck feeds on other late game midrange decks that are looking to grind you out. It doesn't pack much removal so the counter to this deck is killing them early or hitting them with a bunch of beefy flyers.
The player, Almost, has a staggering 2nd and 1st place to their name this ETS season with this deck. It's a terror on ladder against decks that have trouble disrupting the combo, but often folds to decks that are heavy on interaction. This deck is very good into a midrange metagame, which is right now. If we see torch aggro decks pick up in the coming weeks, this deck could fall back into being a meme.
Team Rankstar showed up to the first ETS of this season with this archetype to about a 50/50 win rate. Not the greatest, though, we expected more time midrange to be showing up to the event. Big combrei shines in metagames where all the other time midrange decks are trying to do fair things. Take praxis midrange for example, which is just trying to ramp into huge units. Big combrei has that exact same game plan but with better things to do late game (Siraf, The Great Parliament).
Kroge Top 8'd another ETS with Rakano Mid, or Rakano Valks. A few things to note: It seems Icaria is still good but not overpowered at an 8 drop and this deck cut down on Amilli. Moving forward, anytime Vara has a target on her head, Amilli will unfortunately also be prone to the exact same removal (except Obliterate and a few other niche conditions). Kroge noted that, and designed this deck as more of a "toolbox" Rakano opting for Rise to the Challenge out of the market as well as the main deck, proving to be a very powerful change that Rakano needed.
Argenport Midrange has seen it's up's and down's over the course of Eternal history. At one point, this deck was the best deck in the game. Now, this deck is a metagame call at best, though it did see a top eight in a recent ETS piloted by Kangbreath. It's weaknesses include a weak 2-drop slot as well as a susceptibility to the formats common removal spells. This, in combination, with recent nerfs and the lack newly released cards to power up the deck, puts this deck solidly in the tier three category.
Stonescar Gunslingers has seen a slight uptick in popularity and viability due to it's decent matchup against decks like Haunted Highway and Skycrag Aggro. Nobody can deny the power of Hideout Pistol and efficiency of the deck's units, though the deck has some glaring issues. An inconsistent power-base can weigh the deck down and finding a good balance of gunslingers for synergy without diluting the deck too much can be a challenge. This deck has definitely put up several good results in the ETS a few weeks ago showing that stonescar gunslingers is down but not out.
The bigger they are, the harder they fall, or so they say. This was the best deck in the format before the nerf to Channel the Tempest, Vital Arcana, and Aurelian Merchant, and now, you'd be lucky to see this deck top 8 an event or compete at a high rank in masters. It would require a very different metagame for this deck to be good including a down tick on Haunted Highway, Skycrag, and decks packing bore in their market. There may exist a good unit less control in the format, it's just not here.
AP Control suffers from being a decent control deck with no access to Cauldron Cookbook. It instead relies on slower cards like Wanted Poster and Cull The Deck, which are just weaker two drops and take a lot more set up. In a metagame where the defining card is a way to generate card advantage against decks like this, AP may be in for a rough time. That being said, this deck matches up pretty nicely against some of the mid-range, non-Cookbook decks running around in tier 2 and lower.
Thanks for tuning into this month's tier list! Until next time, be sure to check out all of TRS's streamers, players, and content creators. We always love feedback, don't hesitate to add us in game and chat after a ladder match. Cheers!

WELCOME TO THE SMOOTH JAZZ RIDE! * WELCOME TO THE SMOOTH JAZZ RIDE! * WELCOME TO THE SMOOTH JAZZ RIDE!
Tony Craddock Jr. – Christmas In The Air
Amazon.com Widgets
The debut album from saxophonist Tony Craddock Jr., Christmas In The Air, is as interesting as the saxophonist himself. The Cornell University graduate received his e xposure to the world of smooth jazz from an atypical source: The Weather Channel's "Local on the 8s" program. Why there? The young man, now residing in northern Virginia and pursuing a Master's in Public Health, has a passion for meteorology (his chief focus at Cornell). Having met and chatted with the saxman, who is extremely respectful, courteous, and clearly intelligent, it is also immediately obvious that he is a well-rounded young man with solid and varied interests.
The depth of his perception and innovative nature can be clearly found in this recording of many of our beloved Christmas tunes, which he recreates in many ways to place a very impressive signature on them. A case in point is his interpretation of the classic "Deck the Halls," which has the kind of jazzy twist that will surely place it among the more creative versions we've heard. Another remarkably creative cover can be found on "Silent Night" with strong spiritual vocals by one Aaron Banks. This version has a bossa nova-like feel while not losing a bit of the sanctity of the very moving piece. With Banks' vocals, this is a diverse combination that is certain to make one take serious notice.
It is always refreshing to listen to music that is well-conceived, even if it consists of covers (which can be the most difficult to reproduce in a stand-out way without an abundance of creativity and imagination). Craddock puts such a nice touch of each of these and really makes you feel as though this is a production of all-original material. "O Tannebaum" is presented in such a clear and original fashion, shuttling between an air of jazz to blues and employing the use of great instrumental phrasing, that the arrangement makes hearing it once again such a pleasurable experience – and Craddock does create listening experiences. Ever heard "The First Noel" with a strings and funky slap bass effect?? Yes, I think you get my point…and, as mentioned earlier, the spiritual nature of the tune remains intact and as beautiful as ever.
Christmas In The Air is a truly marvelous holiday find for your music collection but, more importantly, Craddock firmly establishes his credentials as a producer, arranger, and artist in an undisputable manner. Kudos to the young man – Ronald Jackson

Jeff Wentworth, a state senator from San Antonio, lost his bid for the 2012 Republican nomination for the seat.
Says Jeff Wentworth, bending the rules, "has used $211,743.96 in campaign contributions to lease luxury cars."
Says Jeff Wentworth was the only Republican to vote against the Texas measure requiring women to have a sonogram before receiving an abortion.
Says he "restored prayer and the pledge in our schools."
"We have over 25 million people who live in Texas and less than 2 percent of them have" concealed handgun licenses.
The top two vote-getters in the Republican U.S. Senate primary — David Dewhurst and Ted Cruz — are headed to a July 31 runoff. And theirs is not the only unsettled contest. That means about 60 additional days for the Truth-O-Meter to weigh candidate claims.
State Sen. Leticia Van de Putte, D-San Antonio, recently wrote that the map of 36 Texas U.S. House districts advanced to Gov. Rick Perry by the Republican-controlled Legislature "diminishes the voting strength of the growing Hispanic electorate." Republican colleagues charged her with race-baiting.
During the 140-day Texas legislative session that ended May 30, we tested claims from floor debates, press releases and advertising. But by far, our most-read article proved to be a check of state Rep. Leo Berman's statement about Barack Obama's birthplace.
Textbooks? Check. Handgun? That prospect's being debated at the Texas Capitol as lawmakers consider legislation allowing guns on campus--plus, we now read, a proposal letting legislators and others tote concealed weapons anywhere.

In observance of the Easter holiday, our office will be closed on Friday April 14th and Monday April 17th, 2017.
Global Affairs Canada and most diplomatic missions across Canada will also be closed. Due to these closures, authentication and legalization services may experience some delays.
What are authentication and legalization services?
Authentication and legalization services allow your Canadian documents to be used in another country. The process involves authentication at Global Affairs Canada in Ottawa (the JLAC office) and then legalization at the diplomatic mission of your destination country.
Global Affairs Canada and the Embassies and Consulates across Canada have very specific requirements for the authentication and legalization process. If you are handling the process yourself, you should research the requirements in advance. If you are in a hurry, you can hire a service provider like ours who specializes in the process.
Why should you use a service provider?
The processing time for the mail-in service at Global Affairs Canada is 20 business days. Global Affairs Canada recommends that if you are unable to attend their office in person, you should hire a private service provider, such as an authentication and legalization service. As the leading document authentication and legalization service in Canada, we can authenticate your documents in as little as one day.
We can also handle the legalization portion of the process, ensuring that your documents are prepared correctly and all supporting documents are included. Once completed, we can return your documents to you or forward them to a recipient abroad.
Don't hesitate – Get Started!
For more information on the authentication and legalization of Canadian documents for use abroad, please contact one of our friendly experts. We will get back to you as soon as our office re-opens.
Contact us by calling toll free at 1-888-433-1011 or complete an online request form.

Q: PHP Echo into textbox based on dropdown value Im working on a small web application that follows a basic MVC pattern. currently i have data being pulled from a database into an array and im echoing out that value into one textbox (for now)
<input type="text" name="txtGasConRes" id="gasConRes" value="<?php echo $typical; ?>" disabled/>

The $typical value is being retrieved from my Model class into my Controller class and then echoed into the textbox for gas. I have a very similar textbox for Electricity.
My dropdown is as follows:
 <select name="heatingType" id="heatingType" required>
          <option value="" disabled selected>Select Your Option</option>
          <option value = "Gas">Gas</option>
          <option value = "Electricity">Electricity</option>
          <option value = "Other">Other</option>
        </select>

I was wondering if theres a way to determine where to echo the $typical value. So for example, If the user selected Gas as their heating type, then once the form was submitted it, the value would appear in the Gas textbox. If the user selected Electricity from the dropdown then the value would be echoed out into the Electricity textbox.
Any information will be appreciated.
Thanks!

A: This is definitely a job for JavaScript or jQuery if you prefer. You need to setup a handler to detect a change event on the select input. Once the user selects a value, then you can update the text field with text based on what the user has selected.
Not tested but something like this should work.
var select = document.getElementById('heatingType');

function updateTextField(selectedValue) {
    switch(selectedValue){
       case 'Gas':
       return 'some text that you want in the text field';
       break;
       // etc.
    }
}

select.addEventListener('change', function(){
    var selectedValue = this.value,
    textField = document.getElementById('gasConRes');

    textField.value = updateTextField(selectedValue);
});

A: Create javascript function and put function in select box onchange event.(following code is working)
 <script>

TheTelecomBlog.com's Top 6 Posts for April 2011
by Jeff Wiener on May 5, 2011
From iPhone tracking scandals to the much anticipated release of RIM's Playbook tablet, April has been a busy month in the tech and telecom sectors. Add to that the selloff of Alcatel-Lucent's enterprise division and the news that Nokia has dumped Symbian off to Accenture, and it may just be a month we remember for some time.
PlayBook Debuts to Decent Reviews
Research in Motion's PlayBook hit stores this past month and the stakes couldn't be higher. RIM's BlackBerry has been cast aside as a "broken brand" by some, while others are rightly concerned over security concessions the company has made around the world as of late.
The verdicts regarding this new device, however, are mixed, with some going so far as to say that the Playbook software lacks originality, "crawling with borrowed ideas," while others were downright effusive, praising the device for making Blackberry "relevant again."
Apple's iPhone Betrays Your Trust: Tracks and Stores Location Information
While privacy issues are nothing new in the mobile market, things always seem a little more sinister when it's discovered that someone (or something) is collecting your personal data without your explicit knowledge.
This seems to be the case with the public uproar regarding the news that Apple's new iOS 4.0 on the iPhone tracks and stores the users' location and usage patterns, transferring them to one's computer when the phone is synced. But in this modern technological world, consumers seem to want it both ways: phones that are intuitive and personal that are conversely secure and discrete, but is that even possible?
Cisco and the Curious Case of Peter Alfred-Adekeye!
Cisco has been in the news lately, albeit for all the wrong reasons. Once the world's most valuable tech company, worth an estimated $500 billion, it now sees it overall value a relatively meager 1/5 of that, down to nearly $100 billion and questions continue to be asked over its lost credibility, investor confidence has hit an all time low and employees seem confused.
And now the telecom giant is back in the news for having orchestrated the arrest of Multiven founder Peter Alfred-Adekeye last year in order to force a settlement of Multiven's antitrust lawsuit against Cisco. More to the point though, this strange case raises important questions regarding "trust" between a manufacturer and the VAR community. Interested? Click the title above to read on.
Alcatel-Lucent Offers Enterprise Division to Highest Bidder
In what could be a selloff that shifts the balance of power in the global telephony market, it looks like French telecommunications company Alcatel-Lucent is shopping its enterprise switching, IP telephony and contact center businesses in an effort to reverse its fading financial fortunes.
It should come as no surprise to hear that the interested parties include the likes of Avaya, Cisco, HP and others, as this selloff could serve either as a way for a company to make inroads into the telephony market or for a company to keep the content out of competitor's hands.
Nokia Dumps Symbian and Employees Off to Accenture
In a case of what one might call reverse déjà vu, Nokia decided this time to wait until after it had unveiled its new Symbian upgrades and new smartphones before it unceremoniously ripped the carpet out from under the struggling mobile OS.
In April Nokia announced that it was officially done with Symbian, signing a deal with Accenture that will see the Finnish company transfer both control of the mobile OS and 3000 employees to the consulting firm, while Nokia will itself retain both ownership and intellectual property rights to Symbian.
T-Mobile Launches Free Calling through Facebook
Clearly T-Mobile is in no mood to sit idly by and wait for regulators to approve its impending merger with AT&T. Chief Executive Philipp Humm has been vocal about the carrier's plans to embrace its aggressive underdog role despite the looming takeover by AT&T Inc.
To that end, in a first-of-its-kind move in the carrier fraternity, T-Mobile unveiled a free, easy-to-use voice-chat application called Bobsled that allows people to call their friends from within the Facebook application or leave a voice message with one click, a new service that many are already touting as a "Skype-killer."

How to Hack a Heartbreak
Kristin Rockaway
Graydon House, 2019
Agent: Jessica Watterson
Swipe right for love. Swipe left for disaster.
By day, Mel Strickland is an underemployed help-desk tech at the renowned start-up incubator Hatch. There, she's tech support for condescending brogrammers--"Hatchlings"--who can't even fix their own laptops but assume she's useless because she's a woman. And by night, Mel is like every other young person in NYC: she goes on bad dates with misbehaving dudes she's matched with on the ubiquitous dating app Fluttr.
But after one dick pic too many, Mel has had enough. Why do men feel they can harrass, stalk and verbally abuse the women they date on Fluttr, and why does the platform never do anything about it? So she takes matters into her own hands, designing an app of her own, JerkAlert, that allows users to log the names of serial online harrassers, in the name of creating a safe space for women.
JerkAlert is a smashing success...maybe too much of a success. When the app goes viral almost overnight, Mel is suddenly in way over her head. To make matters worse, her almost-boyfriend, Alex Hernandez--seemingly the only non-douchey guy at Hatch--has no idea she's the brains behind the app. And when Mel's bosses find out what she's been up to, she's left with an impossible choice--one that could destroy both her career and her budding romance, or change her life forever.
• Selected for the July 2019 Library Reads Program
"This is a story about really feeling your feelings — even when they cause pain — so you can move toward the love and the happy ever after... Online dating can be so dispiriting, yet it makes for a terrific romance in How to Hack a Heartbreak, by Kristin Rockaway... Set in the New York City tech scene, this is a funny, fast-paced romance that shows that romance and real love can happen — if you're willing to take it offline."
"Rockaway's sophomore work (The Wild Woman's Guide to Traveling the World, 2017) is as sexy as it is topical. Providing a peek into the world of twentysomethings dating in the digital age and (s)wiping out, the fast-paced tale will have readers laughing and celebrating as Mel shows what she's made of in the worlds of romance and tech."
—Booklist Review
"Rockaway (The Wild Woman's Guide to Traveling the World) delivers a sharp and funny tale of female empowerment with a side order of romance ...Rockaway creates an entertaining, if somewhat black-and-white, world of high-tech winners and losers, from Mel's indomitable girlfriends to the rapacious businessmen in her way. A brisk plot and Mel's determination will see readers through to the triumphant finish."
"For everyone who has been wronged in the world of online dating! Revenge is a dish best served digitally in Kristin Rockaway's book capturing what it's like to pursue ambition and love in New York City. Snappy pacing, a delightful group of best friends, women innovating in tech and a workplace love interest made this a book I really enjoyed."
—Sally Thorne, USA Today bestselling author of The Hating Game and 99 Percent Mine
"A current and clever read, impossible to put down... Rockaway has masterfully painted the current dating landscape so many are navigating these days."
—Renée Carlino, USA TODAY bestselling author of Blind Kiss
"Smart, fun, fast-paced. Rockaway seamlessly blends the trials of modern dating with the challenges of being a woman in a male-dominated workplace."
—Helen Hoang, author of The Kiss Quotient
"Rockaway leads us on a charged ride through Internet dating and the start-up world through the shrewd eyes of S.T.E.M.-and-the-city girl, Melanie Strickland, and every bit of it is a page-turner."
—Robinne Lee, author of The Idea of You

How Do I Properly Expose Dark Scenes Containing Bright Light Sources?
You can not . You cannot adjust the contrast difference between the light source and the scene. Even if you dim the light source, you will be dimming the scene proportionally, if the light source is the major illuminant.If the scene is lit by a combination of light sources (e. g. ambient window light and a lamp) then you can change the ratio of these sources by modifying one of them (usually the lamp), by either turning it up (not likely) or adding a ND filter in front of it to reduce its contribution. However, looking at your scene it does not look like you have control of any of the light sources (windows or billboard flood).You are therefore left with manipulating the image in post. You can take two frames, one exposing for correct exposure of the background (e.g. ceiling) and a second image at -2 EV or so, to capture highlights in the light sources and reduce speculars. You would then combine these two by masking.
There is no chandelier or any light source in my room but there's an on off switch?
I am sure that switch controls the outlets and you would plug a lamp into it or re-wire a standard light fixture with a cord and plug. Mount the fixture on the wall or ceiling then run the cord over and down to the outlet
Why is it recommended for schools or other institutions for their rooms to preferably have a light source from the left side?
Educationists, particularly from the UK, provide some advice on how to write and read more efficiently. One among them refers to the lighting conditions. Since a large majority of the learner's are right handed, for efficient lighting during study period, both reading and writing, the book or the paper on which to write should be shadow free. That is why the light source should be on the left side of the person studying. This is applicable to both table lights and room lights, particularly for the former.Why is it recommended for schools or other institutions for their rooms to preferably have a light source from the left side?.
A box, completely mirrored on the inside w/ a light source. When the light is turned off does the interior?
Um.....'cause there is no light
Is there a difference between a large, far light source, and a small, close one?
They say a picture paints a thousand words, so I will augment the existing answers with a basic MS Paint representation.The falloff is depicted by the yellow curves below the light paths. It's very rough, but given an 1/r falloff, you can see how the falloff is much more gradual from the light source furthest from the subject.
What would you see if you inserted a light source?
First, let's face reality about transmission. The transmission of a mirror (transmittance = percent of incident light which gets through) is always the same in both directions. Reflection, however, (reflectance = percent of light which is reflected) can be different from both directions. This is sometimes used to make "one way glass" where the transmitted light is harder to distinguish due to the brighter reflection from one side. The visual effect is even stronger when the more reflective side is also more highly illuminated. Now, to answer your original question. Yes, you would see light because one way mirror glass does transmit some light. The amount of light inside would build up, getting brighter and brighter, until the rate at which light is lost is equal to the rate at which light is being added. Light will be lost by both transmission and by absorption (for example, by the light bulb). Indeed people have done experiments like this! The vast majority of lasers take advantage of this effect. The beam bounces back and forth between two mirrors (yes it could be a full sphere, but because the beam is coherent, only the smaller mirrors are necessary). The light that comes out is actually leakage through one of the end mirrors. Now what about your "super mirror", where no light can escape? In that case, you would not see light, since none would escape. Keep in mind, of course, that it is no longer "one way mirror glass". But what would happen inside the sphere? As with the laser, the light inside would build up until the rate light is lost equals the rate light is added. With no transmission, the only loss left is absorption, either by the mirror or by the light bulb. Things would heat up until something stops working. But what if you had a super mirror which reflected absolutely all of the light and a super light bulb and vacuum which absorbed absolutely no light? Then the light inside would continue to grow and grow unless something fails, either the mirror, the bulb or the vacuum itself. In that case, all bets are off!
How Does the Distance of a Light Source Affect the Amount of Energy Produced by a Solar Cell?
How does the distance of a light source affect the amount of energy produced by a solar cell?Photons gain their energy from their frequency. as in e = hf, where h is a constant and f is the frequency. Unless something is done to change the frequency, they will retain their energy. What changes in your case is the number of photons per area striking the solar cells if the source of the photons is a point or near point source. like a bright light. The Sun, on the other hand, is so far away that the photons arrive in parallel rays; so the number of photons per area does not change with the height of the panels. The reason the number of photons diminishes with distance from a point source is a matter of geometry. Consider the light spreading out from the source like a sphere. At the source, there are N photons emitted. But these are spread over the surface of our imaginary sphere. And the surface of a sphere is A = 4 pi R^2, where R is the distance from the source in the middle of the sphere. So the number of photons per area striking the solar panels is n = N/A = N/(4 pi R^2). As you can see, the total energy per panel area produced by the solar panels would vary as 1/R^2 where R is the distance from the source. That results because the total energy of the photons per area is ne = nhf = (N/(4pi R^2))hf = E/(4pi R^2). Note that E = Nhf = PT is the total energy produced at the source; something we can easily find by noting the power P of the light source (watts) and multiplying that by the total time T of illumination. For example, if you burn a 60 Watt bulb for 1 sec, that produces E = PT = 60*1 = 60 Joules of photon energy discounting inefficiencies. So at R = 2 meters, the solar panels would get E = 60/(4*pi()*4) = 1.19 Joules/m^2 of energy. QED.— — — — — —How does light from quasars and galaxies 13 billion light years away reach us on earth?The light source is 10 trillion times stronger than your flash light— — — — — —Determining the size of a light sourceYou are working in a spectral range for which finding lenses will be a problem, so we will reject the idea of using a lens. Making a small pinhole comparable to the wavelength will be difficult or expensive, but you are right that the spot of light that makes it through the pinhole would be the convolution of the source with the pinhole.A knife edge should work as well as a pinhole, and should be a lot easier to arrange. Place a razor blade a distance X from the source, then a detector a distance X' beyond the razor blade. Measure the width W of the transition between the fully-shadowed area on the detector and the fully-illuminated area on the detector. The width $S$ of the source is $S = W (X/X')$.— — — — — —NEC Display Introduces New Ultra Short Throw Projector With HLD LED Light SourceNEC Display Solutions of America, a leading provider of commercial-grade digital signage displays and projectors, released their new, cutting-edge UM383WL ultra short throw projector.

About Jai Paul
Electro-soul soloist Jai Paul hit the scene in 2010 with the slick single "BTSTU." Sounding like London's answer to Dâm-Funk with an achingly sung "Don't fuck with me" hook over a synth-heavy, bubbling beat, the song caught the attention of several labels, including Polydor and Warp. A bidding war ensued, but ultimately, Paul chose to sign with XL Records at the year's end, and his debut EP was slated for early 2011. ~ Jason Lymangrover

At the Washington Waldorf School, we believe that music is an integral part of the education and development of the whole human being. It serves as a unifying force for integrating the head, hands, and heart of students. With music permeating the daily school activities in all grades and across the subject areas, we strive to awaken in students the musical life that is already there. Singing, playing instruments, and learning the history of music all contribute to a musical foundation that enriches students and makes music a permanent and fundamental part of their lives.
All students in grades one through eight learn to play the pentatonic flutes, the Choroi C flutes, and soprano recorder, and eventually work in four-part recorder ensembles. In addition, students in grades four through eight learn to play violin, viola, or cello. Some students choose to play in our middle school flute or guitar ensembles. Students learn to sing in unison and in two-parts, and by eighth grade are singing in four-part harmony. They are taught basic music theory as well as music history. High school students continue to sing or play in our guitar, drumming, or string ensembles. Many small a cappella singing groups form independently and rehearse during lunch or after school. The 11th grade has an intense music history block culminating in a performance of music spanning the ages. We sing and play all styles of music, including classical, world music, gospel, and popular.
The WWS Music program continues to thrive and students participate with interest and enthusiasm. Performing ensembles are strong and vibrant. Eight music teachers support our program, all of whom are themselves very strong musicians and performers.

Q: Generic constraints specific to an enum member I have a protocol with an associated type:
protocol MyProtocol {
    associatedtype Q
}

Now I'd like to have an enum like
enum MyEnum<Q> {
    case zero
    case one(MyProtocol)
    case two(MyProtocol, MyProtocol)
}

where each associated value has Q as its associated type. This doesn't work:
enum MyEnum<Q> {
    case zero
    case one<P: MyProtocol where P.Q == Q>(P)
    case two<P1: MyProtocol, P2: MyProtocol where P1.Q == Q, P2.Q == Q>(P1, P2)
}

Apparently, individual enum members can't have their own generic constraints.
The only thing I can think of is to move those constraints to the enum declaration, but this fixates the associated types. To demonstrate why that's not what I want, this is what I'd like to be able to do:
struct StructA: MyProtocol {
    typealias Q = Int
}

struct StructB: MyProtocol {
    typealias Q = Int
}

var enumValue = MyEnum.one(StructA())
enumValue = .two(StructB(), StructA())
enumValue = .two(StructA(), StructB())

Is there a way around this limitation?

A: Type erasure. The answer is always type erasure.
What you need is an AnyProtocol type:
struct AnyProtocol<Element>: MyProtocol {
    typealias Q = Element
    // and the rest of the type-erasure forwarding, based on actual protocol
}

Now you can create an enum that uses them
enum MyEnum<Q> {
    case zero
    case one(AnyProtocol<Q>)
    case two(AnyProtocol<Q>, AnyProtocol<Q>)
}

For a deeper discussion of how to build the type erasers see A Little Respect for AnySequence.
Swift cannot discuss PATs (protocols with associated types) as real types or even abstract types. They can only be constraints. In order to use it as even an abstract type, you have to distill it into a type eraser. Luckily this is quite mechanical and in most cases not difficult. It's so mechanical that eventually the compiler will hopefully do the work for you. But someone has to build the box, and today that's you.

National Father-in-Law Day
Strengthen your relationship with your father-in-law and get to know him a little better, which might in turn strengthen your relationship with your spouse.
Every July 30th
#FatherinLawDay
#NationalFatherinLawDay
National Father-in-Law Day is a wonderful occasion for you to strengthen your relationship and to spend quality time with your father-in-law, because let's face it, he won't be around forever. This is your opportunity to break through your father-in-law's tough exterior. Chances are he might be a bit grumpy, intimidating or quite scary sometimes, and who wouldn't be if they had to put up with your mother-in-law all day, right?
Seeing as National Father-in-Law Day was created by card companies, you could take the easy road and just send him a lovely card to show how much he is appreciated when he's away, but a better way to show how much you care and love him is to organise a family event like a BBQ, a walk in the park with the grandchildren, or depending on his hobbies and passions, a special night out.
National Father-in-Law Day is much more than a family obligation, it is a day when you can show just how much you care, bond with your father-in-law, and tell him how right he was to push his son into marrying you.

Abandoned City is a gun game which is set in a 3D arena. Play online for free and prove your shooting skill by being the last survivor! Roam around the map carefully and hunt down the undead quickly! Try to dodge their attacks or you cannot go on! Weapons should be switched properly, depending on the situation that you encounter. Note that you are the only hope for the human race! So, you cannot find an ally during the match. Good luck!


And the role in question? Producer. That's right, folks, legendary terror hottie Christa Campbell will be stepping into a whole new role with the latest remake of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
This newest remake of Texas Chainsaw Massacre takes a young lady who's got an inheritance waiting for her down in Texas, so she goes down with a group of friends to check it out. What she discovers when she gets down there, though, is that her inheritance includes a certain iconic serial killer.
Sounds like a disaster to me, and worse yet, it seems that this will be Lions Gate's new Halloween franchise of choice. A sad followup to the terrific Saw franchise, but still, there's enough room here to give this the benefit of the doubt. After all, it might work out better than expected. They've been doing remakes and knockoffs of this series for years; why shouldn't at least one of them be, you know, good? Look for this one to hit theaters October 5th, 2012.
Oh, here's a nifty piece of news, folks–Nic Cage's Drive Angry has just been picking up terror hotties left, right and center, but guess who, just guess! who the new pick of the day is.
It's Christa Campbell, folks.? Yes, it's true, Christa Campbell has agreed to sign to Drive Angry, which is already jammed full of terror hotties.? We already heard that Katy Mixon, Amber Heard and Charlotte Ross were involved–getting Christa Campbell into things just jacks up the levels to a new and interesting level.
It's strange, though, that they're adding cast members especially since they've got a release date already in place–this is getting released February eleventh of next year–in fact, it suggests some pretty bad things.? Are they even shooting?? If not, how long are they delaying?? Will they skimp on the post-production work in a bid to meet their own target? Or are they counting on Nic Cage's somewhat diminished star power to do all the pulling they'll need?? Have to keep an eye on this one, folks…it may not be as sinister as I'm letting on, though it definitely freaks me out.
Dan Walton's Bind, folks, is something to be interested in. Not only do we have a prime terror hottie contingent at work here, like Christa Campbell and Jessica Von, we've also got Brian Sipe from Star Trek, Van Helsing and Pirates of the Caribbean handling the special effects work.
And what kind of plot do we get in this mix? Well, we get a bunch of friends off for some fun in the snow when all of a sudden things turn really really NOT fun. Like "some kind of monster that wants to kill all and sundry" not fun.
Shooting begins on this sucker in March, so it'll be a good while, possibly not before 2011, until we get to see this. I admit that I'm hopeful it'll work out–snowy horror movies are generally lots of fun–but I know there's so much that can go wrong here.
Okay, while we're all cringing at the thought of more classic Romero getting remade–especially after the speed-zombie debacle that was Zac Snyder and Dawn of the Dead–there's actually a couple good reasons to like the upcoming Day of the Dead remake.
Terror hottie reasons. Namely, Christa Campbell and Anna Lynne McCord.
The temperature of this movie just went up like forty degrees. The print will burn eventually.
You're all probably familiar with the plot of the original: government scientists in an underground base in Florida struggle, largely in vain, to find a cure for the zombie condition that's rapidly sweeping the planet. One of them is actively trying to domesticate them, and the whole place is starting to crack under the tension. How closely the remake will stick to this plot is anyone's guess, but I was starting to get concerned. Most horror buffs–myself included–consider Day to be the weakest of the original Dead series. That was before Land, of course, but still, Day's holding the weakest of the big three. So even if they don't stick to the original, that may be for the best.
At least there will be plenty of eye candy, and lots of terror hotties to keep things interesting.

Kyle Shanahan savors the Niners' win over the Redskins, gives game ball to his father, Mike

Kyle Shanahan didn't join his San Francisco 49ers players in celebrating Sunday's soggy victory over the Washington Redskins by sliding across the rain-soaked turf at FedEx Field, belly-flop style. The coach of the NFC's only unbeaten team said, both before and after, that the outcome of the game had nothing to do with his history with the Redskins.
But Shanahan clearly savored the 9-0 win, which improved the 49ers' record to 6-0. According to 49ers tight end George Kittle, Shanahan awarded a game ball to his father, Mike, whose head coaching tenure with the Redskins ended on less-than-friendly terms.
"Pretty special," Kittle said.
Mike Shanahan was not on hand for the game, according to a 49ers spokesman. But Kittle said 49ers players were mindful of the Shanahans' past dealings with the Redskins and were motivated by that.
"We were aware," Kittle said. "Definitely it was a game that we wanted to win both for him and Mike Shanahan."
Kyle Shanahan is getting it done in San Francisco, adding to the Redskins' embarrassment
The game was as inelegant as it gets and undoubtedly not what Kyle Shanahan had in mind when he envisioned a triumphant return to FedEx Field as the head coach of an undefeated team. But he wasn't complaining.
"I've been in a number of buildings, and not all of it always ends good," Shanahan said after the game. "But it had nothing to do with the game. Everyone's a little more sensitive when things involve your family. So that's why I'm always a little more sensitive to this with my dad here. And that's why it was nice to get the win. But it had nothing to do with the game, has nothing to do with the score. But you always want to take care of things the right way when you're bothered by how some things have been for a family member."
Shanahan, the offensive coordinator for the Redskins during his father's head coaching tenure from 2010 to 2013, had upped the stakes during the week by saying that working for his dad had been his favorite part of his time in Washington and "everything else" had been his least favorite part. Shanahan said he had moved on and this game wasn't personal to him. But did anyone believe that?
Shanahan said Sunday he certainly enjoyed watching 49ers players celebrate the win with what amounted to rain angels on the wet turf following a game-ending sack by rookie defensive end Nick Bosa.
"It was definitely fun watching our whole team slide across the field there," Shanahan said. "I enjoyed watching that."
The key moments from Redskins' 9-0 loss to the 49ers at soggy FedEx Field
Asked whether he had considered joining the players, Shanahan said: "I did think about it, yeah. But I don't think I would have done it right."
The 49ers forged the victory on three second-half field goals by kicker Robbie Gould as they and the Redskins sloshed around on a field drenched by persistent rain.
"It was fun," cornerback Richard Sherman said. "It was Mud Bowl 2019 champions, you know what I mean?"
The 49ers have put themselves in contention in the jumbled NFC, in Year 3 of a rebuilding project overseen by Shanahan and General Manager John Lynch, because they are a balanced and versatile team able to win in a variety of ways. They entered this week's play ranked second in the NFL in total defense and third in total offense.
They were tested Sunday by the conditions as much as by the Redskins. Passing was an adventure. Any change of direction was challenging. The water was pooling on the playing surface in spots, and the players were splashing around when they ran and, especially, when they landed on the turf. The sloppy conditions severely limited both teams' offenses and probably helped the Redskins close the competitive gap.
"That weather was as bad weather as we've played in since we've been here," Shanahan said, "combined with that field, just how the field always is."
Quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo threw for only 151 yards on 12-for-21 passing for the 49ers.
"I've played in rain my whole life," Garoppolo said. "So it wasn't anything crazy."
That was just enough as Gould connected from 28, 22 and 29 yards. The San Francisco defense limited the Redskins to 154 total yards and made two big plays against tailback Adrian Peterson, stopping him on a fourth-down carry in the first half and forcing him into a second-half fumble.
"It's never going to be pretty," 49ers defensive tackle DeForest Buckner said. "It's the NFL. It doesn't matter who you go against. Everybody's good. You've just got to find a way to win. That's the objective. I felt like it didn't matter. Three field goals and they didn't score? I mean, I'll take it."
It has, indeed, been a find-a-way-to-win type of season for the 49ers. That's precisely what they did Sunday in Landover.
"We were down seven starters today," Sherman said. "When you're down seven starters, you would think, hey, you're not going to play your best football. And in a game like this, we played pretty good under the circumstances."
Those circumstances made the day trying and then rewarding for the 49ers.
"I think guys had a lot of fun, slipping and sliding out there," Sherman said. "Winning is always fun."

42 Brooding Facts About Montgomery Clift, The Original Hollywood Heartthrob
Christine Tran
Sensitive, mysterious, brooding, and suspiciously single. These are just among the many words which have been used to describe Montgomery Clift, the enigmatic heartthrob of the 1950s. To this day, biographers struggle to wrap their heads around the actor's puzzling personal life, from his suppressed romances to the delusions of his ancestry. Can we ever know a star? Take a bow to these 42 deep facts about Montgomery Cliff.
1. The Full Monty
The man who would be "Montgomery Clift" was actually born Edward Montgomery Clift on October 17, 1920, in Omaha, Nebraska. He was known to his loved ones as "Monty."
2. Little Orphan Ethel?
On both sides of his family, Clift descended from immense social privilege…or so his mother believed. His father was a vice-president of the Omaha National Trust Company. His mother, Ethel, was adopted and told that her biological family was Yankee elites who were forced to give up their daughter after the "tyrannical will" of her mother tore the family apart. Ethel would devote the rest of her life to impressing these mysterious and allegedly wealthy relatives from afar. Luckily, she had a charming trio of offspring to help…
3. Born to a Certain Class
Clift and his two siblings were raised to be "aristocrats" by their mother, who was obsessed with gaining the attention of her long-lost and allegedly rich biological family. Thanks to his father's personal wealth, Clift was privately tutored and learned German and French. More importantly, this education sheltered Clift and his family from most of the destruction of World War I as they traveled to Europe to become more "cultured."
4. From Prince to Pauper
The Great Depression put a damper on Clift's mother's plans to reclaim their aristocratic roots. As a stock broker, Clift's father was intimately hit and lost most of their money. Despite their financial ruin, Clift's mother insisted that the family keep traveling around Europe to make their children "cultured."
5. The School of the Stage
Luckily, Clift's family was able to reclaim most of his father's wealth after the Great Depression. This meant his mother could continue to give her kids an elite education, sending his brother to Harvard and his sister to Bryn Mawr College. Montgomery was the only black sheep. He never went to college, instead choosing to pursue acting right after high school.
6. Two is the Loneliest Number
Montgomery Clift had a twin sister named Ethel, who was named after their mother. She would outlive her brother by 48 years.
7. Play It Again
Clift joined one of the first television broadcasts in the history of the United States. What was the primordial production? A recreation of Noel Coward's Hay Fever, which was aired at the 1939 World's Fair.
8. Sweet 15
Clift made his Broadway debut at the age of 15 as Prince Peter in the Cole Porter musical, Jubilee.
9. Exit Stage Puberty
Clift was only 13 years old when he joined the local theater. Impressed by his talent and commitment to the fine arts, his mother encouraged him to pursue the art of acting.
10. First in His Class
Montgomery Clift was one of the first actors to be invited to study at the Actors Studio, a membership for professional actors founded in 1947 to refine the art of acting. It is most famous for pushing "method acting" as a mainstream pedagogy for our thespians.

11. Off to a Good Start
At the ripe age of 25, Clift made the big move to Hollywood, joining millions of starry-eyed hopefuls who did the same thing. Of course, most of these wannabes didn't have their first ever movie role opposite John Wayne, who Clift appeared with in Red River (1948).
Red River (1948), United Artists
12. Never Underestimate the Power of an Edit
Although The Search (1948) was only Clift's second film, he reworked the script himself after being unhappy with its quality. It might have paid off. The film gave Clift his first Best Actor nomination at the Oscars for his role as an American soldier, who looks after a child concentration camp survivor. The film itself was nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay. How good were his notes?
The Search (1948), MGM
13. Looks Good in Uniform
Remember, Montgomery Clift never served in World War II. Nonetheless, his performance as a soldier in The Search was considered so authentic that director Fred Zinnemann was asked, "Where did you find a soldier who can act so well?"
14. Prince Not-So-Charming
Clift was also unhappy with the script of this third movie, The Heiress (1949). In fact, he was hugely critical of his co-star and love interest, Olivia de Havilland, for being too obedient to the director's vision and not giving Clift "enough to respond to."
15. His Own Worst Critic
Ever hard to please, Clift walked out of the premiere screening for The Heiress (1949). He was that unhappy about his own performance.
The Heiress (1949), Paramount Pictures
16. Fateful Night
Despite the fact that Clift walked out of the premiere, that evening nevertheless had a great impact on his life: it was the night he met Elizabeth Taylor, who was his date for the event. The two would go on to have a long-lasting and life-altering friendship.
17. Sentenced to Soft Time
Clift spent a night in a real state prison to get in character for his role as a prisoner in A Place in the Sun.
18. Don't Go Screaming into the Night
A Place in the Sun director George Stevens wanted Clift to do "something amazing" for his character's walk to the electric chair. Ever the method man, Clift outright refused. Instead, he opted for a naturalistic walk with a depressed facial expression.
A Place in the Sun (1951), Paramount Pictures
19. No Country Boys for Old Hollywood
For most of his career, Montgomery Clift and Marlon Brando were pitted against each other as acting rivals. Both men were method actors, and both were even born in Omaha, Nebraska.
20. Gift of the Magi: Oscars Edition
Despite their professional rivalry, Clift and Marlon Brando deeply respected each other as actors. When both men were up for Best Actor at the 1951 Academy Awards, they voted for each other's performances over their own! Clift voted for Marlon Brando in A Streetcar Named Desire, while Brando voted for Clift in A Place in the Sun and was certain Clift would beat him. For the record, they both lost to Humphrey Bogart in The African Queen.
21. Can't I Just Be a Gal's Guy?
Clift was incredibly private about his love life—to the point where some people debated whether a love life even existed. He had close female friendships, including with stage actress Libby Holman, who was 16 years older than him. Tabloids would whisper about engagement or entanglement, but he would insist to the platonic nature of these friendships, and state "those romantic rumors are embarrassing to both of us."
22. Let's Not Mix Friendship with Business
Clift famously turned down the male lead in Sunset Boulevard. Why? His good friend Libby Holman was 16 years his senior, and he worried that people might compare her to the desperate Norma Desmond character. Not that he didn't love her, but he did not love rumors about their romantic relationship. Starring as handsome, younger love object to the delusional character of Norma Desmond would attract more attention to his personal life and Holman than Clift would like.
23. The Rewards of Being Real
Alongside the likes of Marlon Brando and James Dean, Montgomery Clift is considered one of the first Hollywood method actors. A Place in the Sun (1951) is regarded as the best example of Clift in this craft, where the actor approaches their character through psychologically "authentic" rehearsal. It must have paid off: the move nabbed him a second Best Actor nomination at the Oscars.
24. Will You Be My Co-Pilot?
For decades, Clift was also romantically linked to Hollywood legend Elizabeth Taylor. They starred in three films together and were even billed as "the most beautiful couple in Hollywood" by the marketing for A Place in the Sun (1951). Neither, however, ever confirmed a romantic relationship. Clift was picky both in romance and his projects. Elizabeth Taylor once said of her friend, "Monty could have been the biggest star in the world if he did more movies."
25. What's in the Closet?
Clift's thin history with the ladies attracted rumors about his sexuality that would follow him well after the grave. While his brother, Brooks, argued Clift was bisexual, it was Truman Capote's unpublished novel Answered that heavily encoded Clift as gay at a dinner party with Dorothy Parker and Tallulah Bankhead. Biographers have favored to position Clift as a gay icon—closeted in public but out with his friends. Only Clift himself knows, and he's no longer around to ask.
26. Takes One to Know One
Familiar with mental and substance abuse problems herself, Marilyn Monroe once described Clift as "the only person I know how is in even worse shape than I am." In 1961, Clift co-starred in The Misfits with Clark Gable and Marilyn Monroe. It would be the final film for all three stars.
27. Sore Winner
Two years after his accident, Clift nabbed his third Best Actor nomination at the Oscars for his role in From Here to Eternity (1953). The winner of the award—William Holden in Stalag 17—publicly stated that Clift (or Clift's co-star Burt Lancaster)—should have won instead.
28. He's Trying His Best
Clift earned his final Academy Award nomination—this time for Best Supporting Actor—by playing a developmentally disabled man who survived the Nazi sterilization programs in Judgement at Nuremberg (1961). According to the film's director, Stanley Kramer, Clift was still rattled from the accident and struggled to remember his lines.
29. The High Cost of Bad Attendance
In the last years of his life, Clift's substance abuse was beginning to affect both his health and his professional reputation. Universal Studios even sued the actor for frequently going AWOL on the set of Freud: The Secret Passion (1962).
30. Showing Up to the No-Show
Being sued by Universal Studios forever ruined Clift's good name. While the case was settled out of court, he gained a reputation as an actor who made films go over-budget with his absences made it hard for him to find work.
31. So No to the Voicebox
Exiled from feature films, Clift made ends meet by returning to radio work. He had done a few broadcasts back in the 1950s—but unfortunately, he hated the medium of broadcast.
32. The Comeback That Never Was
By 1966, things were looking up for Montgomery Clift. He had been exiled from film work for four years. However, his friend Elizabeth Taylor helped him get a lead role in the film Reflections in a Golden Eye. Unfortunately, he passed away before production even began.
33. Sick of His Own Face, Much?
Fittingly for a notoriously choosy actor, Montgomery Clift used his last conversation on earth to snub his own filmography. His nurse, Lorenzo James, asked Clift if he cared to watch his old film, The Misfits, on TV. Clift firmly replied, "Absolutely not!"
34. Not a Clean Getaway
On July 22, 1966, Montgomery Clift was found dead in his bathtub. He was dressed in nothing but his glasses, with both fists clenched at his sides. He was 45 years old.
35. Death Comes for You Eventually
While a drug overdose or suicide has often been whispered as the real cause of Montgomery Clift's death, the truth is more banal. The autopsy cited his cause of death as a heart attack onset by "occlusive coronary artery disease." Moreover, that decades-long struggle with dysentery and an underactive thyroid had come back with a vengeance.
36. Doesn't Have the Stomach for Service
Were it not for a bad case of dysentery, we might not even know the name of Montgomery Clift today. When Clift came down with a bad case of the illness in 1942, it saved him from serving in World War II. As a result of his poor health, he was given 4-F status and denied entry into the US army.
37. You Better Love Him
Don't mess with Clift's female fans. Olivia de Havilland learned this the hard way when her character in The Heiress (1949)—not de Havilland herself!—rejected the sex symbol at the end of her movie. Clift's female legion absolutely flooded the poor actress with hate mail.
38. Elizabeth Taylor, Impromptu DDS
On May 12, 1956, Clift survived a near-fatal car accident on the way home from Elizabeth Taylor's house. He was rescued from his car partially by Taylor herself, who rushed to his side. She also helped him extract a tooth from his mouth before he could choke to death on it.
39. Facing the Serious Times Ahead
While Clift survived his 1956 car accident, he suffered injuries to his famous face, including a broken jaw and nose. The actor also incurred injuries to his sinus and several lacerations. Clift required plastic surgery and needed two months to heal.
40. You Gotta See to Believe
In the wake of his car accident, Clift insisted on returning to finish the production of Raintree County. The studios had concerns; would people still flock to Clift's damaged face? Clift told them not to worry. As it turns out, he was right. Ticket-buyers lined up just to see what Clift's face would look like, post-accident.
41. Can Only Do Things Halfway
For the technology available at the time, the reconstruction of Clift's face was remarkable. While plastic surgery helped fix Clift's face aesthetically, however, it forever impaired his acting ability. Post-accident, the left side of his face was left almost completely immobile.
42. Slow Violence
After his accident and reconstructive surgery, Clift fell into a deep depression. He turned heavily to alcohol to cope. As a result, his health and physical appearance continued to deteriorate. Acting teacher Robert Lewis described his decline as "the longest suicide in Hollywood history."
