"There is only you in the light & nothing else" is the tentative opening song of the debut album, Three Love Songs, of Maryland-based Sam Ray's ambient solo project, Ricky Eat Acid. Moving past this slightly unsettling introduction, the listener is presented with an emotionally-wrought and delicate album that gradually flourishes into an aching exploration of love and loss, and how the two are forever interconnected. Multiple listens of this album reveal it as more of a construction of humankind's visceral response to these feelings of melancholy and loss, rather than a work of sheer technical musicality. Emotion can be volatile, and it is his ability to capture this by conceiving a composite and organic dissonance in each track that has made it such an innovative album.
To go into detail about his previous musical ventures and past work under this moniker would perhaps be a futile endeavor, considering the complete sonic disconnect between the then and now. But it is interesting to consider that it was only a year ago that his newest lo-fi pop band, Julia Brown, grew out of the demise of his pop-punk outfit, Teen Suicide, and their debut album, To Be Close To You came into critical acclaim on websites such as Pitchfork. Where, in Julia Brown and Teen Suicide, the lyrics were the vehicles for the darker themes to be conveyed, Ray has constructed these themes through lush ambient sweeps, working alongside intermittent sounds of discord, which, as the album develops, pave the way for more beat-oriented work. Subtly, he has built themes through sound, elevating the power of electronic music into a realm of human compassion.
Fittingly, it appears that the album can be broken down into three segments. The first third is slightly uncertain: complex, but still beautiful. As the album progresses into the last two thirds, it becomes more assured: intricate, but also comfortable in its ability to evoke meaning clearly, conveyed by a technical conviction and a more robust sound, giving way to dance numbers such as 'it will draw me over to it like it always does' and 'in my dreams we're almost touching,' with the latter being an impressive bout of pulsating house, using a spliced and pitched version of Drake's Take Care as the vocal sample. Yet, for the first five songs of the album, the sound is encapsulated in this fuzzy ambient soundscape, where every warble and electronic blip seems to be placed spontaneously, rather than through astute planning. The track, 'In rural Virginia; watching glowing lights crawl from the dark corners of the room,' has that unsettling nature, reminiscent of those sermon-dotted Godspeed You! Black Emperor tracks that meander right on through until they dive into an abyss of ambient hiss. The versatility of this album demonstrates the immense talent Ray has in being able to create anything he puts his mind to, and this is highly commendable.
The buzz around this album has been incredible among the greater-DIY scene. There is definitely a sense of the love and support this album has received imbued into it, giving it that feeling of warmth, which is so often a feature on albums made by members of the global DIY collective, FMLY. From the first few Tweets of awe coming from his close friends who had listened to Three Love Songs before it was released, to the incredible amount of blog love coming in from around the world, it is safe to say that this is an album that has touched many lives: an incredible testament to the delicate beauty that Ray was able to weave into his music.
A lot can be said about someone who is able to make good music because they're highly trained and can play to a crowd, but, often, even more can be said about a musician who is able to make a work of art so delicate and composed that it speaks to people on a more intimate level, able to evoke feelings that tend to be suppressed. Ray has crafted an album that speaks from the core of its being, with his own understanding of himself and his music guiding the listener. His ability to make the multiple field and live recordings combine and transform from their fragile and modest beginnings into something magnificent is proof that this is definitely an artist to keep an eye on, with the likelihood of him wowing us in the future pretty high.


A neighborhood in west Toronto was thrilled when they found out they would be getting a community garden. The beautiful garden would be located in Tom Riley Park, and it was a favorite spot for the entire area, particularly for the seniors that live nearby.
There was one problem — there was no staircase leading down to the garden, making it challenging and dangerous for seniors to reach it.
"People were falling down. One person broke their hands. So it is not a good situation for anybody," a local senior named Adi Astl told a local news station.
Adi ended up reaching out to a city council member to ask if a staircase could be installed. The response he received back was shocking to him.
The council member informed him that it would cost between $65,000 and $150,000 to construct a set of stairs.
Adi was once a mechanic and is good with his hands; he decided to build a set of stairs himself. Spending only $550 and 14 hours of his time, Adi had installed a set of stairs — the community was thrilled.
Sadly, soon after the stairs were built, the city came down with bad news — the stairs were not built to code and needed to come down. The once content neighborhood was once again up in arms.
After Adi's hand-constructed stairs had been torn down, he received a call from the mayor.
John Tory, the mayor of Toronto, ended up reaching out to Adi regarding his efforts to keep his community safe. He thanked him for the gesture and informed him that they were able to get an estimate for a set of city-coded stairs for a much more reasonable price of $10,000.
Even though his initial staircase was torn down, Adi was happy that the mayor was making such an effort.
The mayor issued a statement expressing his disappointment in the way the initial stair proposal was handled.
The community is looking forward to their new, permanent staircase and it should be built soon — they're also hailing Adi as a local hero.

\section{Introduction}

Let a number, $N$, of particles interact classically
through Newton's Laws of Motion and Newton's  inverse square Law
of Gravitation.  Then the equations of motion are
\begin{equation}\label{eq:eom}
\ddot\mathbf r_i = - G\sum_{j = 1,j\ne i}^{j=N}m_j\frac{\mathbf r_i - \mathbf r_j}{\vert\mathbf r_i - \mathbf r_j\vert^3}.
\end{equation}
where $\mathbf r_i$ is the position vector of the $i$th particle relative to
some inertial frame, $G$ is the universal constant of gravitation, and
$m_i$ is the mass of the $i$th particle.  These equations provide an
approximate mathematical model with numerous applications in
astrophysics, including the motion of the moon and other bodies in the
Solar System (planets, asteroids, comets and meteor particles); stars
in stellar systems ranging from binary and other multiple stars to
star clusters and galaxies; and the motion of dark matter particles in
cosmology.  For $N=1$ and $N=2$ the equations can be solved
analytically.  The case $N=3$ provides one of the richest of all
unsolved dynamical problems -- the general three-body problem.  For
problems dominated by one massive body, as in many planetary problems,
approximate methods based on perturbation expansions have been
developed.  In stellar dynamics, astrophysicists have developed
numerous numerical and theoretical approaches to the problem for
larger values of $N$, including treatments based on the Boltzmann
equation and the Fokker-Planck equation; such $N$-body systems can
also be modelled as self-gravitating gases, and thermodynamic insights
underpin much of our qualitative understanding.

\section{Few-Body Problems}
\subsection{The two-body problem}
For $N=2$ the relative motion of the two bodies can be reduced to the
force-free motion of the centre of mass and the problem of the
relative motion.  If $\mathbf r = \mathbf r_1-\mathbf r_2$, then
\begin{equation}\label{eq:kepler}
\ddot\mathbf r = - G(m_1+m_2)\frac{\mathbf r}{\vert\mathbf r\vert^3},
\end{equation}
often called the Kepler Problem.  It represents motion of a particle
of unit mass
under a central inverse-square force of attraction.  Energy and
angular momentum are constant, and the motion takes place in a plane
passing through the origin.  Using plane polar coordinates
$(r,\theta)$ in this plane, the equations for the energy and angular
momentum reduce to
\begin{eqnarray}
E &=& \frac{1}{2}\left({\dot r}^2 + \frac{L^2}{r^2}\right) - \frac{G(m_1+m_2)}{r}\label{eq:E}
\\
\label{eq:L}
L &=& r^2\dot\theta.
\end{eqnarray}
(Note that these are not the energy and angular momentum of the
two-body problem, even in the barycentric frame of the centre of mass;
$E$ and $L$ must be multiplied by the reduced mass
$m_1m_2/(m_1+m_2)$.)  Using eqs.(\ref{eq:E}) and (\ref{eq:L}) the
problem is reduced to quadratures.  The solution shows that the motion
is on a conic section (ellipse, circle, straight line, parabola or
hyperbola), with the origin at one focus.

This reduction depends on the existence of integrals of the equations
of motion, and these in turn depend on symmetries of the underlying
Lagrangian or Hamiltonian.  Indeed eqs.(\ref{eq:eom}) yield ten first
integrals: six yield the rectilinear motion of the centre of mass,
three the total angular momentum and one the energy.  Furthermore,
eq.(\ref{eq:kepler}) may be transformed, via the Kustaanheimo-Stiefel
transformation, to a four-dimensional simple harmonic oscillator.
This reveals further symmetries, corresponding to further invariants:
the three components of the Lenz vector.  Another manifestation of the
abundance of symmetries of the Kepler problem is the fact that there
exist action-angle variables in which the Hamiltonian depends on only
one action, i.e. $H = H(L)$.   Another application of the  KS
transformation is one that  has practical
importance: it removes the singularity of (i.e. regularises) the Kepler problem at
$r=0$, which is troublesome numerically.

To illustrate the character of the KS transformation, we consider
briefly the planar case, which can be handled with a complex variable
obeying the equation of motion $\ddot z = - z/\vert z\vert^3$ (after
scaling eq.(2)).  By introducing the Levi-Civita transformation $z =
Z^2$ and Sundman's transformation of the time, i.e. $dt/d\tau = \vert
z\vert$, the equation of motion transforms to $Z'' = hZ/2$, where $h =
\vert\dot z\vert^2/2 - 1/\vert z\vert$ is the constant of energy.  The
KS transformation is a very similar exercise using quaternions.

\subsection{The restricted three-body problem}
The simplest three-body problem is given by the motion of a test
particle in the gravitational field of two particles, of positive mass
$m_1, m_2$, in
circular Keplerian motion.  This is called the circular restricted
three-body problem, and the two massive particles are referred to as
primaries.  In a rotating frame of reference, with origin at the
centre of mass of these two particles,  which are at rest at positions $\mathbf r_1, \mathbf r_2$, the equation of
motion is
\begin{equation}\label{eq:rtbp}
\ddot\mathbf r + 2\Omega\times\dot\mathbf r + \Omega\times(\Omega\times\mathbf r) =
G\nabla\left(\frac{m_1}{\vert\mathbf r-\mathbf r_1\vert} + \frac{m_2}{\vert\mathbf r-\mathbf r_2\vert}\right),
\end{equation}
where $\mathbf r$ is the position of the massless particle and $\Omega$ is
the angular velocity of the frame.

This problem has three degrees of freedom but only one known integral:
it is the Hamiltonian in the rotating frame, and equivalent to the Jacobi
integral, $J$.  One consequence is that
Liouville's theorem is not applicable, and more elaborate arguments
are required to decide its integrability.  Certainly, no general
analytical solution is known.

There are five {\sl equilibrium} solutions,
discovered by Euler and Lagrange (see Fig.\ref{fig:eulerlagrange}).
They lie at critical points of the effective potential in the rotating
frame, and demarcate possible regions of motion.

Throughout the twentieth century, much numerical effort was used in
finding and classifying {\sl periodic} orbits, and in determining their
stability and bifurcations.  For example there are families of
periodic orbits close to each primary; these are perturbed Kepler
orbits, and are referred to as satellite motions.  Other important families are the series of Liapounov orbits
starting at the equilibrium points.

Some variants of the restricted three-body problem include
\begin{enumerate}
\item the {\sl elliptic} restricted three-body problem, in which the
primaries move on an elliptic Keplerian orbit;  in suitable
coordinates the equation of motion closely resembles
eq.(\ref{eq:rtbp}), except for a factor on the right side which
depends explicitly on the independent variable (transformed time);
this system has no first integral.
\item {\sl Sitnikov's} problem, which is a special case of the elliptic
problem, in which $m_1=m_2$, and the motion of the massless particle
is confined to the axis of symmetry of the Keplerian motion;  this is
still non-integrable, but simple enough to allow extensive analysis of
such fundamental issues as integrability and stochasticity;
\item {\sl Hill's} problem, which is a scaled version suitable for examining
motions close to one primary; its importance in applications began
with studies of the motion of the moon, and it remains vital for
understanding the motion of asteroids.
\end{enumerate}

\subsection{The general three-body problem}

\subsubsection{Exact solutions}
When all three particles have non-zero masses, the equations of motion
become
\[
m_i\ddot \mathbf r_i = - \nabla_iW,
\]
where the potential energy is
\[
W = - G\sum_{1\le i<j\le3}\frac{m_im_j}{\vert\mathbf r_{i}-\mathbf r_j\vert}.
\]
Then the exact solutions of
Euler and Lagrange survive in the form of {\sl homographic} solutions.
In these solutions the configuration remains geometrically similar,
but may rotate and/or pulsate in the same way as in the two-body
problem.

  Let us represent the position vector $\mathbf r_i$ in the planar
three-body problem by the complex number $z_i$.  Then it is easy to
see that we have a solution of the form $z_i(t) = z(t)z_{0i}$,
provided that
\[
\ddot z = -C\frac{z}{\vert z\vert^3}
\]
and
\[
m_iCz_{0i} = \nabla_iW(z_{01},z_{02},z_{03}),
\]
for some constant $C$.  Thus $z(t)$ may take the form of any solution
of the Kepler problem, while the complex numbers $z_{0i}$ must
correspond to what is called a {\sl central configuration}.  These are
in fact critical points of the scale-free function $W\sqrt{I}$, where
$I$ (the ``moment of inertia of the system'') is given by $I =
\sum_1^3 m_ir_i^2$; and $C = - W/I$.

The existence of other important classes of periodic solutions can be
proved analytically, even though it is not possible to express the
solution in closed form.  Examples include {\sl hierarchical}
three-body systems, in which two masses $m_1, m_2$ exhibit nearly
elliptic relative motion, while a third mass orbits the barycentre of
$m_1$ and $m_2$ in another nearly elliptic orbit.  In the mathematical
literature this is referred to as motion of {\sl elliptic-elliptic}
type.  More surprisingly, the existence of a periodic solution in
which the three bodies travel in succession along the same path,
shaped like a figure 8 (cf. fig\ref{fig:eight}), was established by Chenciner \& Montgomery
(2000), following its independent discovery by Moore using numerical
methods.  Another interesting periodic motion that was discovered
numerically, by Schubart, is a solution of the {\sl collinear}
three-body problem, and so collisions are inevitable.  In this motion
the body in the middle alternately encounters the other two bodies.

\subsubsection{Singularities}

As Schubart's solution illustrates, two-body encounters can occur in
the three-body problem.  Such singularities can be regularised just as
in the pure two-body problem.  Triple collisions can not be
regularised in general, and this singularity has been studied by the
technique of ``blow-up''.  This has been worked out most thoroughly in
the collinear three-body problem, which has only two degrees of
freedom.  The general idea is to transform to two variables, of which
one (denoted by $r$, say) determines the scale of the system, while
the other ($s$) determines the configuration (e.g. the ratio of
separations of the three masses).  By scaling the corresponding
velocities and the time, one obtains a system of three equations of
motion for $s$ and the two velocities which are perfectly regular in
the limit $r\to 0$.  In this limit, the energy integral restricts the
solutions of the system to a manifold (called the {\sl collision
manifold}).  Exactly the same manifold results for zero-energy
solutions, which permits a simple visualisation.
Equilibria on the collision manifold correspond to the Lagrangian
collinear solutions in which the system either expands to infinity or
contracts to a three-body collision.

\subsubsection{Qualitative ideas}

Reference has already been made to motion of elliptic-elliptic type.
In motion of {\sl elliptic-hyperbolic} type there is again an
``inner'' pair of bodies describing nearly Keplerian motion, while the
relative motion of the third body is nearly hyperbolic.  In
applications this is referred to as a kind of {\sl scattering}
encounter between a binary and a third body.  When the encounter is
sufficiently close, it is possible for one member of the binary to be
exchanged with the third body.  One of the major historical themes of
the general three-body problem is the classification of connections
between these different types of asymptotic motion.  It is possible to
show, for instance, that the measure of initial conditions of
hyperbolic-elliptic type leading asymptotically to elliptic-elliptic
motion (or any other type of permanently bound motion) is zero.  Much
of the study of such problems has been carried out numerically.

There are many ways in which the {\sl stability} of three-body motions may
be approached.  One example is furnished by the central configurations
already referred to.  They can be used to establish sufficient
conditions for ensuring that exchange is impossible, and similar conclusions.

A powerful tool for qualitative study of three-body motions is Lagrange's
identity, which is now thought of as the reduction to three bodies of
the {\sl virial theorem}.  Let the size of the system be characterised
by the ``moment of inertia'' $I$.  Then  it is easy to show that
$$
\frac{d^2I}{dt^2} = 4T + 2W,
$$
where $T, W$ are, respectively, the kinetic and potential energies of
the system.  Usually the barycentric frame is adopted.  Since $E =
T+V$ is constant and $T\ge0$, it follows that the system is not
bounded for all $t>0$ unless $E<0$.

\subsubsection{Perturbation theory}

The question of the integrability of the general three body problem has stimulated much
research, including the famous study by Poincar\'e which established
the non-existence of integrals beyond the ten classical ones.
Poincar\'e's work was an important landmark in the application to the
three-body problem of {\sl perturbation methods}.  If one mass
dominates, i.e. $m_1\gg m_2$ and $m_1\gg m_3$, then the motion of
$m_2$ and $m_3$ relative to $m_1$ is mildly perturbed two-body motion,
unless $m_2$ and $m_3$ are close together.  Then it is beneficial to
describe the motion of $m_2$ relative to $m_1$ by the parameters of
Keplerian motion.  These would be constant in the absence of $m_3$,
and vary slowly because of the perturbation by $m_3$.  This was the
idea behind Lagrange's very general method of variation of parameters
for solving systems of differential equations.  Numerous methods were
developed for the iterative solution of the resulting equations.  In
this way the solution of such a three-body problem could be
represented as a type of trigonometric series in which the arguments
are the angle variables describing the two approximate Keplerian
motions.  These were of immense value in solving problems of celestial
mechanics, i.e. the study of the motions of planets, their satellites,
comets and asteroids.

A major step forward was the introduction of Hamiltonian
methods.  A three-body problem of the type we are considering has a
Hamiltonian of the form
\[
H = H_1(L_1) + H_2(L_2) + R,
\]
where $H_i, i = 1,2$ are the Hamiltonians describing the interaction
between $m_i$ and $m_1$, and $R$ is the ``disturbing function''.  It
depends on all the variables, but is small compared with the $H_i$.
Now perturbation theory reduces to the task of performing canonical
transformations which simplify $R$ as much as possible.

Poincar\'e's major contribution in this area was to show that the
series solutions produced by perturbation methods are not, in general,
convergent, but asymptotic.  Thus they were of practical rather than
theoretical value.  For example, nothing could be proved about the
stability of the solar system using perturbation methods.  It took the
further analytic development of KAM theory to rescue this aspect of
perturbation theory.  This theory can be used to show that, provided
that two of the three masses are sufficiently small, then for almost
all initial conditions the motions remain close to Keplerian for all
time.  Unfortunately now it is the practical aspect of the theory
which is missing;  though we have introduced this topic in the context
of the three-body problem, it is extensible to any $N$-body system
with $N-1$ small masses in nearly-Keplerian motion about $m_1$, but to
be applicable to the solar system the masses of the planets would have
to be ridiculously small.

\subsubsection{Numerical methods}

Numerical integrations of the three-body problem were first carried
out near the beginning of the 20th century, and are now commonplace.
For typical scattering events, or other short-lived solutions, there
is usually little need to go beyond common Runge-Kutta methods, provided
that automatic step-size control is adopted.  When close two-body
approaches occur, some regularisation based on the KS transformation
is often exploited.  In cases of prolonged elliptic-elliptic motion,
an analytic approximation based on Keplerian motion may be adequate.
Otherwise (as in problems of planetary motion, where the evolution
takes place on an extremely long time scale), methods of very high
order are often used.  Symplectic methods, which have been developed
in the context of Hamiltonian problems, are increasingly adopted for
problems of this kind, as their long-term error behaviour is generally
much superior to that of methods which ignore the geometrical
properties of the equations of motion.

\subsection{Four- and five-body problems}

Many of the foregoing remarks, on central configurations, numerical
methods, KAM theory, etc, apply equally to few-body problems with
$N>3$.  Of special interest from a theoretical point of view is the
occurrence of a new kind of singularity, in which motions become
unbounded in finite time.  For $N=4$ the known examples also require
two-body collisions, but non-collision orbits exhibiting finite-time
blow-up are known for $N=5$.

 One of the practical (or, at least,
astronomical) applications is again to scattering encounters, this
time involving the approach of two binaries on a hyperbolic relative
orbit.  Numerical results show that a wide variety of outcomes is
possible, including even the creation of the figure-8 periodic orbit
of the three-body problem, while a fourth body escapes (Fig.\ref{fig:eight}).

\section{Many-Body Problems}

Many of the concepts already introduced, such as the virial theorem,
apply equally well to the many-body classical gravitational problem.
In this section we refer mainly to the new features which arise when
$N$ is not small.  In particular, statistical descriptions become
central.  The applications also have a different emphasis, moving from
problems of planetary dynamics (celestial mechanics) to those of
stellar dynamics.  Typically, $N$ lies in the range $10^2$--$10^{12}$.

\subsection{Evolution of the distribution function}

The most useful statistical description is obtained if we neglect
correlations and focus on the one-particle distribution function
$f(\mathbf r,\mathbf v,t)$, which can be interpreted as the number-density at time
$t$ at the
point in phase space corresponding to position $\mathbf r$ and velocity
$\mathbf v$.  Several processes contribute to the evolution of $f$.

\subsubsection{Collective effects}

When the effects of near neighbours are neglected,  the dynamics is
described by the {\sl Vlasov-Poisson} system
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{eq:vlasov}
\frac{\partial f}{\partial t} + \mathbf v.\frac{\partial f}{\partial\mathbf r} -
\frac{\partial\phi(\mathbf r,t)}{\partial\mathbf r}.\frac{\partial f}{\partial\mathbf v} &=& 0
\\
\label{eq:Poisson}
\nabla^2\phi &=& 4\pi Gm\int f(\mathbf r,\mathbf v,t)d^3\mathbf v,
\end{eqnarray}
in which $\phi$ is the gravitational potential, and $m$ is the mass of
each body.  Obvious extensions are necessary if
not all bodies have the same mass.

Solutions of eq.(\ref{eq:vlasov}) may be found by the
method of characteristics, which is most useful in cases where the
equation of motion $\ddot\mathbf r = -\nabla\phi$ is integrable, e.g. in
stationary, spherical potentials.  An example is the solution
\begin{equation}
\label{eq:plummer}
f =
\vert E\vert^{7/2},
\end{equation}
 where $E$ is the specific energy of a body, i.e. $E
= v^2/2 + \phi$.  This satisfies eq(\ref{eq:vlasov}) provided that
$\phi$ is static.  Eq.(\ref{eq:Poisson}) is satisfied provided that
$\phi$ satisfies a case of the Lane-Emden equation, which is easy to
solve in this case.

The solution just referred to is an example of an {\sl equilibrium} solution.
In an equilibrium solution the
virial theorem takes the form $4T + 2W = 0$, where $T, W$ are
appropriate mean-field approximations for the kinetic and potential
energy, respectively.  It follows that $E = -T$, where $E = T + V$ is
the total energy.  An increase in $E$ causes a decrease in $T$, which
implies that a self-gravitating $N$-body system exhibits a negative
specific heat.

There is little to choose between one
equilibrium solution and another, except for their stability.  In such
an equilibrium, the bodies orbit within the potential on a timescale
of the {\sl crossing time}, which is conventionally defined to be
$t_{cr} = \displaystyle{\frac{GM^{5/2}}{(2\vert E\vert)^{3/2}}}$.

The most important evolutionary phenomenon of collisionless dynamics is {\sl
violent relaxation}.  If $f$ is not time-independent then $\phi$ is
time-dependent in general.  Also, from the equation of motion of one
body, $E$ varies according to $dE/dt = \partial\phi/\partial
t$, and so energy is exchanged between bodies, which leads to an evolution of
the distribution of energies.  This process is known as violent
relaxation.

Two other relaxation processes are of importance:
\begin{enumerate}
\item Relaxation is  possible on each energy hypersurface,
even in a static potential, if the potential is non-integrable.
\item  The range of collective phenomena becomes remarkably rich if the
system exhibits ordered motions, as in rotating systems.  Then an
important role is played by resonant motions, especially resonances of low
order.  The corresponding theory lies at the basis of the theory of
spiral structure in galaxies, for instance.
\end{enumerate}

\subsubsection{Collisional effects}

The approximations of collisionless stellar dynamics suppress two
important processes:
\begin{enumerate}
\item the exponential divergence of
stellar orbits, which
takes place on a time scale of order $t_{cr}$.  Even in an integrable
potential, therefore, $f$ evolves on each energy hypersurface.
\item  two-body relaxation.  It operates on a time scale of
order $\displaystyle{\frac{N}{\ln N}t_{cr}}$, where $N$ is the number
of particles.  Though this {\sl two-body relaxation timescale}, $t_r$, is much longer than any other timescale we
have considered, this process leads to evolution of $f(E)$, and it
dominates the long-term evolution of large $N$-body systems.  It is
usually modelled by adding a {\sl collision term} of Fokker-Planck
type on the right side of eq.(\ref{eq:vlasov}).

In this case the only
equilibrium solutions in a steady potential are those in which $f(E) \propto \exp(-\beta
E)$, where $\beta$ is a constant.  Then eq.(\ref{eq:Poisson}) becomes
Liouville's equation, and for the case of spherical symmetry the
relevant solutions are those corresponding to the {\sl isothermal sphere}.
\end{enumerate}

\subsection{Collisional equilibrium}

We consider the collisional evolution of an $N$-body system further in
Sec.\ref{sec:collisional_evolution}, and here develop the fundamental
ideas about the isothermal model.
The isothermal model has infinite mass, and much has been learned by
considering a model confined within an adiabatic
boundary or enclosure.  There is a series of such models,
characterised by a single dimensionless parameter, which can be
taken to be the ratio between the central density and the density at
the boundary, $\rho_0/\rho_e$  (Fig.\ref{fig:isothermal}).

These models are extrema of the Boltzmann entropy $S = - k \int f\ln
fd^6\tau$, where $k$ is Boltzmann's constant, and the integration is
taken over all available phase-space.  Their stability may be
determined by evaluating the second variation of $S$.  It is found
that it is negative definite, so that $S$ is a local maximum and the
configuration is stable, only if $\rho_0/\rho_e < 709$ approximately.
A physical explanation for this is the following.  In the limit when
$\rho_0/\rho_e\simeq1$ the self-gravity (which causes the spatial
inhomogeneity) is weak, and the system behaves like an ordinary
perfect gas.  When $\rho_0/\rho_e\gg1$, however, the system is highly
inhomogeneous, consisting of a core of low mass and high density
surrounded by an extensive halo of high mass and low density.
Consider a transfer of energy from the deep interior to the envelope.
In the envelope, which is restrained by the enclosure, the additional
energy causes a rise in temperature, but this is {\sl small}, because of the
huge mass of the halo.  Extraction of energy from around the core,
however, causes the bodies there to sink and accelerate; and, because
of the negative specific heat of a self-gravitating system, they gain
more kinetic energy than they lost in the original transfer.  Now the
system is hotter in the core than in the halo, and the transfer of
energy from the interior to the exterior is self-sustaining, in a {\sl
gravothermal runaway}.  The isothermal model with large density
contrast is therefore unstable.

The negative specific heat, and the lack of an equilibrium which
maximises the entropy, are two examples of the anomalous thermodynamic
behaviour of  the self-gravitating $N$-body problem.  They are related
to the long-range nature of the gravitational interaction, the
importance of boundary terms, and the non-extensivity of the energy.
Another consequence is the inequivalence of canonical and
microcanonical ensembles.

\subsection{Numerical methods}

The foregoing considerations are difficult to extend to systems
without a boundary, though they are a vital guide to the behaviour
even in this case.  Our knowledge of such systems is due largely to
numerical experiments, which fall into several classes:
\begin{enumerate}
\item Direct $N$-body calculations.  These minimise the number of
simplifying assumptions, but are expensive.  Special-purpose hardware
is readily available which greatly accelerates the necessary
calculations.  Great care has to be taken in the treatment of few-body
configurations, which otherwise consume almost all resources.
\item Hierarchical methods, including tree methods, which shorten the
calculation of forces by grouping distant masses.  They are mostly
used for collisionless problems.
\item Grid-based methods, which are used for collisionless problems
\item Fokker-Planck methods, which usually require a theoretical knowledge of
the statistical effects of two-, three- and four-body interactions.
Otherwise they can be very flexible, especially in the form of Monte
Carlo codes.
\item Gas codes.   The behaviour of a self-gravitating
system is simulated surprisingly well by modelling it as a
self-gravitating perfect gas, rather like a star.
\end{enumerate}

\subsection{Collisional evolution}\label{sec:collisional_evolution}

Consider an isolated $N$-body system, which we suppose initially to be
given by a spherically symmetric equilibrium solution of
eqs.(\ref{eq:vlasov}-\ref{eq:Poisson}), such as
eq.(\ref{eq:plummer}).  The temperature decreases with increasing
radius, and a gravothermal runaway causes the ``collapse'' of the
core, which reaches extremely high density in finite time.  (This
collapse takes place on the long two-body relaxation time scale, and
so it is not the rapid collapse, on a free-fall time scale, which the
name rather suggests.)

At sufficiently high densities the time scale of three-body reactions
becomes competitive.  These create bound pairs, the excess energy
being removed by a third body.  From the point of view of the
one-particle distribution function, $f$, these reactions are
exothermic, causing an expansion and cooling of the high-density
central regions.  This temperature inversion drives the gravothermal
runaway in reverse, and the core expands, until contact with the cool
envelope of the system restores a normal temperature profile.  Core
collapse resumes once more, and leads to a chaotic sequence of
expansions and contractions, called {\sl gravothermal oscillations}.

The monotonic addition of energy during
the collapsed phases causes a secular expansion of the system, and a
general increase in all time scales.  In each relaxation time a small
fraction of the masses escape, and eventually (it is thought) the
system consists of a dispersing collection of mutually unbound single
masses, binaries and (presumably) stable higher-order systems.

It is very remarkable that the long-term fate of the largest
self-gravitating  $N$-body systems appears to be intimately linked with
the three-body problem.

Many ministries in South Asia reach non-believers with the gospel during the Christmas season. Christians invite people from other religions to their homes and share stories with neighbors about their Christian beliefs and the meaning of Christmas. Christians are able to connect with people who are normally reluctant to enter a church, but are willing to visit a neighbor's home. Christmas is the best time for outreach in South Asia. Ministries make inroads to isolated communities that are sometimes even hostile toward Christians by showing their goodwill, sharing stories from the Bible, and offering gifts to children.
Millions of unreached people still exist, the majority of whom live in the Indian subcontinent. AIM's primary objective is to reach these unreached people through indigenous ministries. Local ministry leaders, many of whom have served as indigenous missionaries for over 20 years, report that their biggest hurdle in sharing the Good News is that native people view Christianity as a foreigner's religion. Indigenous missionaries are working tirelessly to replace such misconceptions with the message of Christ, but often they lack basic support.
I recently met Nabin, a missionary teacher in Bangladesh from an unreached tribe, who also happened to be one of the first believers from that tribe and village. This young servant of God teaches children during the day, but also works as a minimum wage laborer in his spare time to provide for his family.
This young missionary's work is important because we know that most people who decide to follow Christ do so before they turn 20 years old. It is imperative that we help these native missionaries reach children with the gospel before other radical ideologies take root in their young minds.
Please take a look at the various ways you can be part of indigenous ministries' Christmas outreaches. Make this a special Christmas by joining with our native missionaries to share the gift of Christ's love.

The Reeves Electronic Analog Computer (commonly shortened REAC) was a family of early analog computers produced in the United States by Reeves Instrument Corporation from the 1940s through the 1960s.

History

Origins
In the 1940s, Reeves Instrument Corporation began developing ideas for a digital computation machine. They hired mathematician Samuel Lubkin, of the original team who designed the UNIVAC, to lead the project. The original proposal was to build a machine called the REEVAC, which was to have been based on the design of the EDVAC machine, which Lubkin had also done design work on. For unknown reasons, Reeves decided to scrap this approach, and Lubkin left the company for a job with the National Bureau of Standards (the US government organization later renamed the National Institute of Standards and Technology).

Reeves then decided to move forward with an analogue computer instead. In 1946, the Office of Naval Research launched a project code named Project Cyclone at Reeves to develop a general purpose analogue computing machine to further Naval objectives — it is unclear if this was the cause of Reeves's change of direction or a consequence. This was the beginning of a 20-year partnership between Reeves and the Navy. For the entire 20-year duration of Project Cyclone, Reeves would continually furnish the Navy with the most recent REAC model.

Commercial production
In 1948, Reeves began putting the REAC machine into commercial production. The original price was USD $14,320 for the machine itself, but fully loaded with all the necessary peripherals it cost USD $37,000 (about USD $425,000 in 2021 dollars). By 1951, there were more than sixty REAC machines in use at universities, private (usually engineering) companies, and government and military institutions. Today the REAC is credited with proving that a general-purpose analog computer could be a viable commercial product.

Notable early adopters included the following:
 Naval Air Missile Test Center (now the Pacific Missile Test Center)
 United States Naval Research Laboratory
 RAND Corporation
 North American Aviation
 Applied Physics Laboratory
 University of Minnesota
 Ames Research Center at NASA

Uses
REAC computers played a role in the development of many military projects, such as the Ryan X-13 Vertijet. A REAC was the first computer at Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake, and was instrumental in running simulations in development of the first anti-radiation missile. It also was used in the Aeronautical Computer Laboratory at Naval Air Warfare Center Warminster.

Hardware
The machine as it arrived from the manufacturer consisted of several cabinets with connecting cables, and was described as "essentially an Erector Set whose pieces are electronic or electro-mechanical parts."

The average runtime for single problem was about one minute.

Models
There were seven models produced during the life of the system:
 REAC 100 (1947)
 REAC 200 (1952)
 REAC 300 (1953)
 REAC 400 (1956)
 REAC 500 (1963)
 REAC 550 (1964)
 REAC 600 (1965)

Drytops utilizes roof thermal imaging scan inspections to pin-point areas of moisture intrusion and target areas needing repair or upgrade. Infrared analysis is a non-destructive testing method and can quickly identify large areas of saturation with an immediate thermographic image. Roof thermal imaging via infrared technology is used by our certified themographers to detect moisture through temperature differentials across virtually every type of roof surface.
Roof thermal imaging combined with Drytops years of moisture detection field experience allows Drytops to make repair or restoration recommendations which will help customers avoid costly premature roof replacements.
Thermal imaging can quickly identify wet insulation. Thermal scans of a roof system and walls can help locate wet insulation which is indicative of a failing roof system and reduces the energy efficiency of the roof structure.
The roof thermal images pinpoint the cause of the leakage, even those that go undetected with the naked eye. Extensive wet insulation will lead to discussions regarding whether or not a complete roof replacement is necessary or less expensive repair or restoration can be performed before potential emergency situations result from a complete roof failure.
The sooner a roof problem is found, the sooner it can be addressed. Preventative roof maintenance will help enhance the lifespan of an otherwise good roof structure and will help reduce the amount of damaged to a roof.

The Electric VLSI Design System is an EDA tool written in the early 1980s by Steven M. Rubin.[2][3][4][5] Electric is used to draw schematics and to do integrated circuit layout. It can also handle hardware description languages such as VHDL and Verilog. The system has many analysis and synthesis tools, including Design rule checking, Simulation, Routing, Layout vs. Schematic, Logical Effort, and more.
Electric is currently part of the GNU project and has been developed in Java and distributed as free and open-source software, subject to the requirements of the GNU General Public License (GPL), version 3 or any later.
Alternative Design Style for Integrated Circuits 1
Alternative Design Style for Integrated Circuits
Unlike other systems that design integrated circuits (ICs) by manipulating polygons on different layers of the wafer, Electric views IC layout as connected circuitry, similar to the way schematic capture systems work.[6][7] In Electric, designers place nodes (transistors, contacts, etc.) and connect them with arcs (wires). This has advantages and disadvantages.
One advantage is that circuits are always extracted, so analyses that need to know the topology (Layout vs. Schematic, Simulation, etc.) can run faster. Also, by presenting a schematic-capture-like user interface, the system offers a uniform user experience for both IC layout and schematic design. And finally, the nodes-and-arcs view of a circuit makes it easy to add layout constraints to the arcs which allow the designer to "program" the layout so that it stays connected as changes are made.
This style of design also has disadvantages. One disadvantage is that designers are not used to such an interaction and require training in order to use it. It has been observed that people with no previous experience in IC layout are comfortable with Electric's unusual style, but those who have done IC layout on other systems find Electric difficult to use. Another disadvantage is that it is hard to import polygons from traditional systems because they have to be node-extracted, and the polygons don't always match the set of nodes and arcs provided by Electric.
Electric was written in the C programming language in the early 1980s (the earliest internal memo on Electric is dated November 19, 1982). For some time after that, Electric was distributed free of charge to universities and research institutions, and found widespread international use.
In the mid 1980s, Electric was sold commercially by Applicon, under the name "Bravo3VLSI".
In 1988, Electric Editor Incorporated was founded, and sold the system commercially. The company released the source code through the Free Software Foundation in 1998.
In 2000, Static Free Software was created to manage Electric's distribution.
In September, 2003 the C version of Electric was abandoned, and the system was translated into the Java language. The work was completed in June, 2005. Although the C code is still available, it is no longer developed or supported. The new and improved Java code remains free to all users.

This article from the Sisense blog has a valuable little list of Bad BI Habits to Break in 2015. To-dos for the new year are suggested, like "embracing big data" and "getting a grip on all data." We tend to agree, because data is going to continue to grow in vastness and scope for all applications. As we step into 2015, we can't bury our heads in the sand and pretend that big (and growing) data is going to go away. Resolved: to stand tall and meet the challenge!


I get emails, tweets, and messages every day asking when The Keatyn Chronicles will be made into a TV series or movies. I used to have my own dream cast on this page, but now there is a really fun way for you decide who YOU would cast.
Be sure to click that you support The Keatyn Chronicles being on a big screen.
Vote and comment on the character castings you agree with.
Don't agree with the casting? Suggest the actors who YOU think would make the best Keatyn, Brooklyn, Aiden, Cush, Dawson, Abby, etc.
If the KC ever does get picked up for this, we will definitely use this amazing fan input.
I'm so glad you enjoyed the series. Be sure to go to the IF list to enter your castings.
And damien : Mitchel Musso! He can sing, he's cute, he's edgy.
Aiden: maaaybe Cody Linley? I have no ideA. I couldn't even picture an Aiden when I was reading.
I am in love with these books. The characters, the story, the plot twists and suspense. I love being so attatched to characters. I was constantly checking to see if a new book had be released. Thank you for all of it.
I would love to. So far, no producers have offered to.
I am doing a spin off – but they will be a little more adult.
She could not have said it better. I similarly read your first book a week ago, and finished the last book today. I was obsessed.. I read on my subway ride from school to and from everyday, during class even at work! I could not put it down. PLEASE do a spin off, we would all LOVE IT!
I think a TV show would be amazing. I'm so glad you enjoyed reading K's story. She starts off a bit spoiled and self centered but I love her growth throughout the series. I think even though K was wealthy, she still faced many of the same issues all teens face: finding themselves, finding love, understanding life, making mistakes and learning from them. I'm planning to do a spin off series but it will lead off from where the KC left off, so the characters will be older.
you know those books where you get so wrapped up in the storyline and the characters it's lkke your living in the story and you just can't seem to put the book down? I started reading stalk me 6 days ago and im now finished the whole series. Let me just tell you this is by far one of the best series i've read. High school settings are not really my type but the characters were just so amazing and fun you could totally relate to them! ( apart from the rich celebrity mom and everything haha) i never wanted to put down these books and now that i'm finished them i'm so sad i wish there was a never ending story! Keatyn and Aiden are by far my favorite couple of all time and there love was so unbelievably cute! Honestly there HAS TO BE a TV show about these books, because movies would not be enough! i want to re-read all of them i just wish theres was more! althought i loved the ending!! (no spoilers) Jillian Dodd PLEASE do everything in your power to make this book go onto the big screen!!!! i've never written a review for a book or been so wrapped up in a series like this one. ugh, i can go on an on about how much i loved this book but let's just say there needs to be a show about this, or else idk what i'd do!!!
Thank you! I think the KC would make a great TV or movie series!!
Please make it into a movie I about died when you wouldn't tell us what happened in the end of get me I'm not going to say anything else or I'm going to have to write SPOILER ALERT!!!
I don't personally know any of those actors but I'm sure most of them are nice. Can someone like Aiden exist? Yeah, I think so.
I can't picture any current actor when I think of Aiden!!! He has to be the God of all Hotties, gorgeous blonde hair, green eyes, possess abs of a Greek god, be able to pull off stylish outfits, and…. needs to look like he's from money (not from the country side)! Mostly, Aiden is an overall nice person… not one of those cocky, arrogant young actors currently out there. Can someone like him really exist?!
She's absolutely stunning!! I picture her face when I read the novels. Perfect match!!
If you do make a movie I would sooo audition!
Who is on the cover of the other books?
You should click the link in the post and add them to the casting list.
Maja Wangenhall, she's a Swedish model.
I'm just curious who is only the front cover on date me, love me and hate me???
I meant Chace, dumb autocorrect ha!
And for right now that's all I have(: pick and choose where you feel fits!!

Attack Of The Killer B's
Among all the big thrash groups, Anthrax had the best sense of humor and the most diverse taste in music, qualities evinced on Attack of the Killer B's. Consisting of outtakes, B-sides, and live tracks recorded between 1989 and 1991, the compilation ended up being one of Anthrax's most popular releases—mostly due to the runaway success of "Bring the Noise," their collaboration with Public Enemy. Aerosmith and Run-DMC may have melded rock and rap for the pop market, but this remake was more crucial because it showed that ferocity—not playfulness—was the true unifying force between the hip-hop and metal cultures. For Anthrax, music went hand in hand with rabble-rousing. In spite of an often close-minded metal fanbase, they openly embraced hip-hop ("I'm the Man '91"), often returned to their punk roots ("Chromatic Death," "Milk [Ode to Billy]"), and set fire to unlikely covers (Kiss' "Parasite" and the surf standard "Pipeline"). Apathy would become a theme of rock music in the '90s, but Anthrax stuck to their principles with messages like "Protest and Survive" and the tongue-in-cheek "Startin' Up a Posse," an assault on the censorship tactics of the Parents' Music Resource Center.

Professor Mason specialises in Physics. He showed the children some fantastic fossils and various rocks, including lava and spoke about the work of volcanologists. However, it would be fair to say that the children were even more impressed by his demonstration of the scientific properties of chocolate.
Later he agreed to be interviewed for BearWaves by James Udall, Jennifer Howlett, Charlotte Parr, Nicolas Stanford, Antony Viccars, Alyssa White, Jaruniha Jegatheswaran and Jack Kilgallon. If you would like to hear their interview pleas click here.

A peahen flies among peonies at the center of this large dish. Concentric bands of white peonies, stylized waves, a molded foliate edge, and a band of scrolling lotus emanate from the center. This magnificent plate was produced in the great ceramic town of Jingdezhen specifically for the Middle Eastern market, likely commissioned by Middle Eastern merchants who lived in China at this time and understood the ceramic needs and decorative taste of the Islamic countries. It was, for example, the custom to serve food from large plates in Islamic countries but not in China. Likewise, the foliate rim and the densely painted floral decor spoke to Middle Eastern aesthetic traditions.

You are four times more likely to drive more sales from your current customers than from prospects. So why do so many businesses seem to be missing opportunities that are right in front of them? Why don't they take advantage of customers who have already purchased from them and who have asked to hear from them?
Upselling via email is a fantastic, low-cost way to increase revenue by reaching out to the customers you know are interested in your offering.
But with people being constantly bombarded with emails that are competing for their attention, how can your email stand out enough to garner a response? In this post we'll look at how to do upselling via email right, along with a few best practices.
Upselling is a sales strategy where the seller provides an existing customer with the opportunity to upgrade or enhance an already purchased product or service.
For instance, the simplest, most popular example of upselling happens when you walk into a fast food restaurant and order a burger, and you are then asked if you want fries with it. It's a suggestion that matches what you've already ordered and you're likely to take them up on the offer. So, there you have it, an instant upsell.
Other examples of upselling can be moving pay-as-you-go customers to monthly memberships, providing a longer warranty, or metalic paint on a car.
Let's look at a few critical elements that your upselling email campaign needs to include in order to turn it into a money-making machine.
When it comes to upselling, one of the most important things to remember is this: no matter how well-crafted your pitch is, it's worthless if you deliver it to someone who isn't interested.
So, before you begin writing a word, you need to conduct an analysis of your customers' purchasing behaviour. If you want to make more sales, first you need to know what they've purchased in the past and make sure that the offers you're sending their way are relevant to them.
There's just so much customer-related data available that all you need to do it dig in a bit, find it and put it to use to develop highly relevant upsell offers. Look at account information and past purchases. Use your Google Analytics account to look at site clicks, views and goals, email response data, and anything else that can give you some insight into the types of offers that you can recommend to customers when upselling. It's not about how much data you can gather, but about making the most of the data that you have from the sources available to you at that particular moment.
For example, if you have a handmade jewellery shop, your Valentine's Day email could target men who have already made purchases within the last six months. Using previous purchase data, you could try to upsell customers with a Valentine's related product.
Or if a customer's birthday is approaching, you can send them an email with a nice message and a voucher for a discount. Our email marketing service has a marketing automation feature that allows you to send emails that are triggered by specific actions. For example, when it's a customer's birthday or when they've signed up to receive your newsletter, it will send an automatic email with your custom message and special offer.
It's about using data to market in a smart way. So, if you were thinking about emailing hundreds of your subscribers with a particular offer, forget about it as it won't do you any good. Batch-and-blast is a thing of the past. What works are personalised, relevant offers so make sure you are collecting and using smart data on your customer's behaviour as this is essential to the success of your email campaigns.
The chances of past customers opening your emails are likely to increase if you remind them right from your subject line that they know you, that you've interacted with them before or that they've purchased from you.
Is there anything more we can do to help you?
However, you should avoid trying to trick people into reading your emails. For example, never, ever use a fake "RE:" in your subject line in an attempt to trick recipients into believing that your email is part of a conversation that you are having with them. Just don't as they will lose their trust in you and can easily report you as spam, block you from contacting them or, if they're feeling generous, they can unsubscribe. That would be the end of your relationship and it's very unlikely that they will give you a second chance.
Whenever you're sending an order confirmation email (whether they've purchased a product or signed up to join your event), a receipt or invoice or an alert on a store closing, use these opportunities to upsell. These can make you profit simply because of the closer attention that customers usually give to such important communications so it's more likely they'll open the email.
When a customer has completed a purchase or downloaded a product, you send them a final email with the receipt as well as shipping information or the link to download. You can use this opportunity to also ask the customer to sign up for your newsletter, to share their purchase with their friends or to connect with you on social media. Or you could include a short offer at the end of the email.
If a customer has signed up to an "upgrade alert" email that lets them know when the plan they have will increase in price, you can use that email to give them a discount if they pay for the next year in advance.
Another great example, one that Amazon is great at, is behaviour-triggered email. When a customer is signed in to your website, you can send emails based on the actions they take. Have you noticed that not long after you've been on Amazon, they email you with offers for exactly what you were just searching on their site? Make sure you employ this triggered email marketing strategy as it can help skyrocket your sales.
As you can see, there's definitely room for creativity when it comes to transactional emails. However, make sure you have explicit consent from customers to send them marketing messages. If you don't, you could be breaking the law.
Keep the 80/20 rule: no more than 20% of your transactional email content should be promotional content. Also, position the marketing content below the transaction-related content your recipient is expecting. In addition, make sure you keep subject lines focused on the nature of the transaction and not the offer within.
What's in it for them if they renew, upgrade or schedule a meeting with you? You need to describe the benefits (not features) to your customers. Excite them with possibilities and help them imagine what more they can do if they upgrade.
When you're talking about an increase in price, talk about how you've enhanced the product or service, what extra awesome features it will include, how it can help them be more productive, healthier, sexier, etc. The message you communicate needs to be clear and to focus on a positive change that they could benefit from if they upgrade.
The copy plays a major role here in letting people know what you are offering. State your offer up front and without too much hype, use short yet powerful sentences and try to keep your email as brief as possible. Also, stay away from industry-specific jargon and overused buzzwords in your copy.
Your call-to-action (CTA) needs to be clear so that customers know what they need to do next. Don't just tell them to visit your website for more information.
Being aggressive will cause you to lose customers. So avoid sending multiple emails to the same customer with the same offering in the hope that the fifth one will do the trick. Instead, you could try to be helpful. Did you know that an email written in a helpful tone can increase inquiries compared to an email in a more sales-y tone?
So, instead of "Buy this now!" you might want to try a "How can I help?" email which is enough to open the conversation and to learn more about your customer's future needs and requirements.
We all need to win business and hit targets. But if your emails show customers that you're not interested in helping them and instead are only focused on closing a sale, I guarantee you will lose.
The truth is no one is interested in your products. All that prospects want to know is how you can help them save money, be more productive, live healthier. So, you need to show you understand and care about their pains, needs and wants and then make your product or service part of the solution. That's the key to upselling with email so make sure you convey it.

Fly-fishing on the Truckee has been good all summer.
Fly-fishing on the Truckee has been good all summer from Reno to just below Truckee.
FRENCHMAN LAKE: This water should be great this fall, lot of fish running from 14-20-inches on average. The spring was a little tough, numbers-wise due to a prolific Daphnia hatch (freshwater fleas) which shuts down stillwaters for eating fish. When the water starts to hit the high 50s, the fish should start getting grabby in the shallows. Chris Wharton, Stillwater Guide Service, 775-851-1558.
LAKE DAVIS: Fishing starting to pick up. Mornings are best time to fish. North side of island and Camp 5 to Eagle Point, trolling 10-15 feet down with Needlefish producing fish from 2-4 pounds. Mountain Hardware, Truckee 530-587-4844.
TRUCKEE RIVER: Fly-fishing has been good all summer from Reno to just below Truckee. The fish are still locked in on Baetis and Caddis nymphs from 16-18. A few larger fish biting on Crayfish imitations and stripping streamers during low light conditions. Make sure you run 3X tippet as they are not leader shy and you will break off flies in their mouths if you go too light.
LITTLE TRUCKEE RIVER: The flows are 96 CFS and have been stable. The water is cooler here due to the LT being a tailwater. The water temperatures are in the 50s throughout the day. There is still a lingering PMD hatch in the late mornings/early afternoons. Dry-fly fishing and dry dropper rigs have been the way to go lately. There is a ton of moss on the bottom and indicator nymphing is tough to do because it requires cleaning your flies almost every cast. A good stealthy dry like a Madam X or a Green Drake pattern is a good choice for a dry and droppers should be very small PMDs, Baetis, Midges and San Juan Worms. The Little Truckee is a crowded fishery and communication with other anglers can make your day a lot better. Reno Fly Fishing Outfitters, 775-742-1754.
EAST WALKER RIVER: Flows are 181 CFS. Iit has been hot in the Bridgeport area and water temperatures are a concern. If you are planning a trip to the EW, do it early and plan to be off the water before lunch. Fish will be in the shallower, faster pocket water here. The East Walker is small and it is important to use a stealthy approach. Dry-dropper rigs fished around the main current is a great way to go. There are lots of Grasshoppers in the area and Hopper Dropper set-ups are the way to go. Great time of year to bring two rods. One dry-dropper and one high sticking rod for the deeper parts of the pools and runs. At 181 CFS most of the river is crossable and the conditions are good for early morning fly-fishers.
LAKE ALMANOR: Surface temps at 73 degrees at mid day. Clarity is still good, about 19 feet. Water quality is excellent. Lake levels have dropped about 7 feet. which is normal this time of year.
There are more fishing boats out than pleasure boats. Fishing boats are scattered all around the deeper east basin looking for the bite. Radio reports from all areas are somewhat positive. Fish have been deep and coming in all sizes. Mostly Rainbows and a few salmon, very few Browns reported. Lots of small aggressive Rainbows have been chasing everything, be prepared to release a few of them as you work your way to bigger fish.
Some trollers have been running slow-action software. Like dodger mealworms combos or threaded crawlers at 1.0 to 1.2 mph. While other are running fast action hardware like #2 Needlefish, 1/6 oz. Moose Looks Wobblers, and 1/6 oz. Speedy Shiners from 2.5 to 2.8 mph.
Areas producing for trollers have been the Hamilton Branch, A-Frame, Rocky Point, Big Springs and the east shore from Lake Cove to the Dorado and north to the Branch.
Bait soakers can be found around Rocky Point, the A-Frame, Lake Cove, and Big Springs. Try anchovy tails with Pro-Cure Super Herring Gel 3-8 feet off the bottom for Salmon. Salmon are running from 14-19 inches long. Some days they will also hit suspended crawlers. Bank fishing above the powerhouse has picked up. Doug Neal, Almanor Fishing Adventures, 530-258-6732.
SACRAMENTO RIVER: Salmon fishing has been good. More fresh king salmon have moved upriver towards the spawning grounds. Anglers are mostly catching limits of king salmon, above and below Red Bluff. Dragging cured salmon roe tipped with a bright puffball is working best with salmon 6-20 pounds being landed. Anglers are also hooking and landing many striped bass while salmon fishing. This time of year there are many different species of fish to fish for on the Sacramento River from steelhead, salmon and stripped bass. The flows are coming down, yet river temps are cool for the kings in the river. Professional Guide Service, 530-646-9110.
FEATHER RIVER: The salmon bite on the Feather River near Oroville has been good for both boat and bank anglers. The bank anglers at the Outlet Hole are scoring many king salmon on small beads being drifted near the white water. Boats are doing well dragging roe down the river through salmon holding water and back bouncing roe/puffball combos. Best fishing is happening from the Outlet Hole downriver through Gridley. Expect large crowds the closer you get to the Outlet Hole near Oroville. Dave Jacobs Professional Guide Service, 530-646-9110.
HOT CREEK: Good in the mornings and evenings with hoppers and dry flies. Nymphs working during mid-day. Flows at 11 cfs with weed growth prevalent. Target the open lanes between them for the best success. Hoppers have been great during certain parts of the day. Fish small midges when you see the fish feeding below the surface. The bite can get tough at mid-day, but you can keep the fish biting by matching the hatch. Sierra Drifters 760-935-4250, sierradrifters.com.


Food addiction is a disorder characterized by preoccupation with food, the availability of food and the anticipation of pleasure from the ingestion of food. Food addiction involves the repetitive consumption of food against the individual's better judgment resulting in loss of control and preoccupation or the restriction of food and preoccupation with body weight and image. Anorexia Nervosa is characterized by intense fear of gaining weight. Bulimia Nervosa is described as binge eating and compensatory behavior to prevent weight gain. Compulsive Overeaters use food inappropriately and eventually become addicted to it and lose control over the amount of food they eat.
What are warning signs for anorexia nervosa?
Behaviors associated with Anorexia Nervosa include excessive weighing, excessive measuring of body parts, and persistently using a mirror to check body size. Self-esteem is dependent upon body shape and weight. Weight loss is viewed as an impressive achievement and an example of extraordinary self-discipline. Persons with Anorexia Nervosa may develop odd and ritualistic eating habits such as cutting their food into tiny pieces, refusing to eat in front of others, or fixing elaborate meals for others that they themselves don't eat.
Physical implication of Anorexia Nervosa may include disruption of the menstrual cycle, signs of starvation, thinning of hair or hair loss, bloated feeling, yellowish palms/soles of feet, dry, pasty skin. Starvation experienced by persons with Anorexia Nervosa can cause damage to vital organs such as the heart, kidneys, and brain. Additional complications may include drop in pulse rate and blood pressure, irregular heart rhythms or heart failure. Nutritional deprivation may also lead to brittle bones and osteoporosis, decreased brain volume, death by suicide or complications of the malnutrition.
What are warning signs of bulimia nervosa?
Individuals with Bulimia Nervosa become ashamed of their eating behavior and attempt to conceal symptoms through rapid consumption of food. They will eat until painfully full and stop if intruded upon. 80- 90% of bulimics will induce vomiting. Other behaviors include misuse of laxative, diuretics, fasting, excessive exercise, and hoarding of food. A depressed mood and loss of sexual interest are common among bulimics, as is frequent complaints of sore throats and abdominal pains.
What are the effects of bulimia nervosa?
Physical implication of Bulimia Nervosa may include loss of dental enamel, increase of cavities, swollen saliva glands, calluses, scars on hands (from self induced vomiting), irregular menstrual cycle, dependency on laxatives for bowel movements, fluid and electrolyte disturbance. Individuals with Bulimia Nervosa, even though of normal weight, can severely damage their bodies by frequent binging and purging. Malnutrition, like Anorexia Nervosa, may lead to cardiac complications, heart failure, stomach rupture, or sudden death.
What are the warning signs of compulsive overeating?
Overeaters demonstrate uncontrollable binge eating without extreme weight control and see that behavior as normal. Overeaters present with moderate to severe obesity, with an average binge eater being 60% overweight. Binge-eating episodes consist of carbohydrates and junk food with most binges done in scheduled secrecy.
Has anyone ever told you that you have a problem with food?
Do you think food is a problem for you?
Do you eat large amounts of high calorie food in a short period of time?
Do you find yourself fearful of gaining weight?
Do you eat when you are disappointed, tense, or anxious?
Can you stop eating without a struggle after one or two sweets?
Do you find yourself preoccupied with gaining weight?
Has being overweight ever affected any part of your life?
Do you weigh yourself once or twice (or more) a day?
Do you eat more than you planned to eat?
Have you hidden food so that you would have it just for yourself?
Have you ever felt angry when someone ate food you saved for yourself?
Do you worry that you can't control how much you eat?
Have you felt frantic about your size, shape, or weight?
Have you ever felt so ashamed of the amount you eat that you hide your eating?
Have you been so upset about the way you eat that you wished you would die?
Do you overeat more than twice a week?
Do you invent plans in order to be alone to eat?
Do you seek out companions who eat the way you do?
The first step is to determine if there is a problem. A Certified Addictions Counselor trained specifically in identifying food addiction can effectively perform an assessment to determine if a problem with food exists and recommend a level of treatment. For a free confidential assessment, call the Illinois Institute for Addiction Recovery at (800) 522-3784. An assessment can be completed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Appointments are preferred, but walk-ins are always welcome.
