Sharing a picture of herself in a hospital gown, she said: "Hi guys, I've just been collected from hospital due to being in a serious car accident.
"I won't be responding to anyone until I can. I am in a lot of pain and distress."
Chloe appeared in Love Island in 2017 and had previously dated Towie's Jon Clark.

Despite him expressing outrage about her doing the show, he ended up dumping Lauren Pope to get back with Chloe after she left the villa.
During her time on the show, Chloe was coupled up with Sam Gowland but the pair were booted off relatively early.
Chloe recently revealed she only decided to the do the show after finding out Jon had cheated on her.

She said that producers came to her work place to get her on board, and she only agreed with three hours before her flight.
She told Scott McGlynn on Celebrity Skin Talk: "On Wednesday I found out he'd been messaging other girls and then on Friday I got called up saying "come onto Love Island". And I said no, because of all this stuff going on with Jon [Clark], who has also been on Love Island.
"I had people, producers, turning up at my old work in Canary Wharf begging me to come on the show and I was like, "no I'm not doing it"."

She continued: "I was in such a bad headspace at the time I just didn't want to find love. I was already in love, I loved my ex-boyfriend.'
"They were turning up at my work and felt really pressured and one day they were like "I've booked you a flight" and I told them "see you later I ain't doing it, I've told you numerous times I'm not doing it"
"Then two days later I started getting loads of messages from people and I thought what better revenge than to go onto Love Island."

BFA Exhibit Showcases Art Senior Works at USAO
CHICKASHA -- Emotive portraits, colorful paintings and striking photography are just a few of the original pieces on display March 29 through April 18 in the USAO Art Gallery. Four bachelor of fine arts seniors join ten recent graduates for the large exhibition.
A free opening reception with snacks and live music is scheduled March 29 at 4 p.m. in the gallery in Davis Hall at the University of Science and Arts.
Lindsey Finch, a photography senior from Bray, takes a fashionable approach when shooting subjects.
" I selected a series of photographs of women," she said. " In this series, I chose to study how women, placed in a contrived environment, adapt, find and express a sense of their identity."
Style and beauty are common themes in Finch's photography.
" My work aspires to offer an alternate perspective and challenge the viewers' preconceived visual images of beauty and identity," she said.
A multiple recipient of the Dorothy Tulloss Scholarship and the William Jurth Scholarship, Finch plans to attend graduate school and gain a master's degree in photography in hopes of exploring the medium more in depth as a fine art.
The illustration of beauty continues in the paintings of Chris Castor, a senior from Woodward.
" My art communicates the way through which I see the world and it displays a few areas of life that I find particularly beautiful," Castor said. " Humor, joy, family, friend, and personal convictions are all concepts seen in my artwork. These concepts are represented by realistic, or semi-realistic, portrayal of people, places and things."
Castor's portraits offer unique perspectives and emotional representations of his subjects.
Currently an ordained minister, youth minister and music director at First Missionary Baptist Church in Pocasset, Castor said his plans are to stick to music and art.
" I plan to continue working at the church and painting on the side for now," he said. " I also continue in my love for music by writing and playing music with some of my friends from USAO in our band called The Split. I may go back to college for my master's in art sometime in the near future."
Chelsea McClanahan, a senior from Oklahoma City, said she enjoys experimenting with art.
" While I am currently focusing on painting, I enjoy working in many different mediums, and am always looking for new things to try out," McClanahan said. " I enjoy watercolor for its ability to show quick, clean strokes and bright, vibrant colors."
Her paintings of people, animals and environments capture moments reminiscent of still-life images.
" My art depicts the varying relationships between a figure and its environment," she said. " From replete interaction to complete detachment and many variances in between, we can observe how figures relate to their surroundings."
During her schooling at USAO, McClanahan has won multiple awards for student art exhibits, as well as the annual Montmartre Chalk Art Festival. A three-year member of the USAO Art Club, her works are in private collections throughout Oklahoma and other nearby states. Last year, she illustrated a children's book entitled, " A Big Halloween Surprise," written by Alyson J. Pearl and published by Tate Publishing.
" After graduation," she said, " I'm going to take some time off to work, but I plan to earn my MFA in the next two years. I also plan to spend time traveling and painting with friends in Europe."
Art is all fun and games for Bonnie Amspacher, a senior from Norman.
" Drawing and painting is like a game for me," Amspacher said. " When I work on art, it is really playing."
Colorful surreal imagery fills her canvases, where strange birds, fish and animals interact in her swirling, active paintings. Otherworldly creatures swim about in dreamlike motion.
Amspacher said her plans include returning to Norman and furthering her education.
" I plan to continue developing my career as an artist by teaching children's arts classes, applying for graduate school and promoting my art work," she said. " I am excited about being a part of Norman's community and actively working for social and environmental betterment. I am proud to be an Oklahoman and wish to positively contribute locally with my professional and personal life."
The four spring 2008 BFA students are joined by ten previous art graduates.
Summer 2007 graduates Jessica Irvin, LJ Stephens, Sabrina Myrick, Jewlia Wells, Priscilla Harris, Tommy Ball, Amanda Bailey and Amy Simer, as well as fall 2007 graduates Courtney Kegans and Amy Widener are displaying original artwork as well.
The opening reception is free and open to the public. Live music will be provided by local singer/songwriter Michael Bendure.
The USAO Art Gallery is located in Davis Hall on 17th Street in Chickasha and is open Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The gallery is free and open to the public.
More information about the gallery is available online at www.usao.edu/gallery.

'Slumdog Millionaire' Star Anil Kapoor and Léa Seydoux Join 'Mission: Impossible 4' As Villains
Posted on Thursday, October 7th, 2010 by Russ Fischer
Brad Bird is pulling together quite a cast for the fourth Mission: Impossible film, which is now shooting in Europe. Specifically, the evil end of the spectrum is now well-represented by a core trio of actors.
Michael Nyqvist from The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo is the lead baddie, but now Anil Kapoor from Slumdog Millionaire and French actress Léa Seydoux have both signed on as evildoers — or at least the opponents of the Impossible Mission Force — in the series' third sequel.
Deadline says that Anil Kapoor (aka the egocentric game show host from Danny Boyle's movie) will be "a major heavy" in Mission: Impossible, but doesn't offer any more details. The script has been relatively well locked down so far, as we don't know more than the basic roles for most of the players.
Deadline mentions and THR confirms that Léa Seydoux (Robin Hood, and a brief part in Inglourious Basterds) will be the film's lead female villain, playing opposite Mr. Nyqvist.
That trio will be opposing Tom Cruise and new agent recruits Jeremy Renner and Paula Patton. Ving Rhames and Simon Pegg return to roles they've previously played in the series, and Lost's Josh Holloway reportedly has a part as an agent, as well. Vladimir Mashkov is also on board in some capacity as a Russian agent. The secretive story was crafted by J.J. Abrams and screenwriters Andre Nemec and Josh Appelbaum, who wrote the screenplay.
Mission: Impossible 4 (likely not the final title) is scheduled for release on what will likely be known as the 'Avatar time slot' for some years to come: December 16, 2011.

Armstrong denies Landis's allegations
Nigel Wynn May 21, 2010 11:14 am
Lance Armstrong, Tour Down Under 2010
Lance Armstrong has given his official response to the comprehensive allegations made against him by former US Postal team-mate Floyd Landis.
In a series of emails to national and international cycling authorities, Landis admitted his use of banned performance-enhancing substances and blood doping techniques. He also alleged Armstrong and several other former team-mates also doped, showed him how to dope and how to evade detection during anti-doping tests.
Speaking to press prior to stage five of the Tour of California on Thursday, Armstrong categorically denied every allegation made against him and questioned the validity of Landis's statements. Armstrong also said that Landis had been 'harassing' him and team manager Johan Bruyneel over a long period of time. Bruyneel was Landis and Armstrong's team manager at US Postal.
"Obviously everyone has questions about Floyd Landis and his allegations. I would say that I'm a little surprised, but I am not," Armstrong said.
"In all honesty, this has been going on for a long time. The harassment and threats from Floyd started a few years ago and really, at that time, we largely ignored him. Johan [Bruyneel] can speak more to what Floyd exactly wanted from us and the team. A year ago, I told him, 'listen, you do what you have to do.' We have nothing to say and nothing to hide."
"But with regard to the specific allegations and the specific claims, they are not even worth getting into. I'm not going to waste your time or my time."
One of Landis's allegations, listed under the heading '2002', involves a bribe paid to Hein Verbruggen, then head of the UCI, to cover up Armstrong's alleged positive test for EPO during the Tour of Switzerland. When asked whether he had ever paid off the UCI, Armstrong responded:
"Absolutely not. No. That is the other thing, if you get into it. Obviously we've seen the email and that is not correct. But a lot of other things in the email, the timeline is off, if you go year by year." Armstrong did not race the Tour of Switzerland in 2002, but he did win it in 2001 – the phrasing of Landis's email in this particular case is ambiguous, but could mean either year.
Armstrong also revealed that knew about the emails in advance of their wider publication on Thursday. "To be honest, I was surprised that it didn't come up in Sacramento [at the start of the Tour of California]," said Armstrong. "We were all fully expecting it to come out then. These emails have been out for quite some time. We were fully expecting this then."
In conclusion, Armstrong said that he would not be taking immediate legal action against Landis and would assist authorities into any investigation into the claims, but he also questioned Landis's current state of mind, saying "I saw him every day at the Tour of the Gila. Not one word was said. It was ironic because not one word would be said to any of us during the race. We heard stories about him talking to himself. But we would get home and all of a sudden we would have these emails from him at night. Strange."
Later on Thursday, Armstrong was forced to withdraw from the Tour of California after suffering injuries due to a crash.

Terri Rocovich is a woman who knows what it means to take a chance. Once an upper-level marketing executive, her passion for eventing spurred the leap from her comfortable corporate position to riding and training full time in dressage. "It was scary," she remembers, "but once I had the opportunity to do what I love every day, I never questioned that decision for a second." Her gamble has more than paid off with unprecedented success in the dressage ring atop the second life-changing chance she took — the strapping mahogany bay, Uiver.
Terri's close friend and veterinarian, Dr. Corine Selders, has watched this special partnership form from the very beginning. "Uiver was brought over from Holland and formed quite the reputation," she says. A point that Terri won't dispute, "he was most certainly hot and difficult to handle, but it was a good fit. There was a comfort level there from the beginning." With three years behind them and a now formidable bond, Dr. Selders has witnessed Terri and trainer David Blake transform Uiver from a once intimidating giant to an all-in champion whose heart belongs to her. "She loves that horse, and he loves her back."
Uiver may have come with a less than amiable reputation, but he had one more surprise in store. "Uiver had a suspensory strain and surgery for a fractured splint bone in the two years prior to Terri purchasing him," says Dr. Selders. "It was a question as to whether he would remain sound, especially at the level where Terri wanted to take him." Together, Dr. Selders and Terri planned for Uiver's long-term wellness and have stuck with that winning formula. "Uiver gets a lot of preventive care, especially focused on his joints and muscles as his level of work and competition increases," says Dr. Selders. "This includes the right nutrition. I'm a big believer that it's part of practicing good preventive medicine, and I trust Platinum Performance to fill that role." Terri didn't need convincing, believing that horses should be fed and maintained the way nature intended. "Uiver gets good-quality timothy, rice bran and a combination of Platinum Performance Wellness, Osteon for his bones and soft tissue and Platinum Metabolic Support."
Together, Uiver and Terri have gone from quite literally the dark horse of the dressage world, to now competing amongst the top riders in the sport. "Uiver and Terri have had success that's really unheard of," Dr. Selders says proudly. "Climbing from Third Level, Prix St. Georges, Intermediare, then on to Grand Prix, all in three years. They're now competing in the open division against Olympic-level riders, which is incredible considering where they each started."
It's clear when listening to Dr. Selders talk about this horse and rider team, that she has a vested interest in their success. The close friendship and trust shared between the two women can be seen on several levels, including their common approach to Uiver's care. "Dr. Selders has become a good friend," says Terri. "Her approach is similar to mine in that we each believe firmly that you get out what you put in — hard work, preventive care, nutrition, training — it all adds up to create an athlete that's happier, healthier and performs with greater durability." Dr. Selders agrees, "how Uiver holds up in upper level dressage is thanks in no small part to his nutritional advantage. He's strong and healthy, and that shows."
These days the big bay once deemed difficult and too hot to handle, sits under saddle with Dr. Selder's 14-year-old daughter, Lexie, smiling widely from his back. When she turned 12 years old, it was Lexie's birthday wish to ride the handsome gelding that seems to hold the hearts of the women in his life. She hasn't stopped since. "You come across these partnerships, and it's hard to describe," reflects Terri, "from the first time I sat on Uiver's back, I knew I belonged there. I've worked really hard, but it's a labor of love. It's a lot of luck, good people like Dr. Selders who have helped me along the way and a horse that gives his entire heart and soul for me."

Men's Basketball Comeback Bid Falls Short Against No. 9 Wittenberg
The Hiram College men's basketball team trailed by as many as 18 points in the second half, but would come up short in a comeback bid against No. 9 nationally-ranked Wittenberg University, 80-79, in North Coast Athletic Conference action in Springfield.
Wittenberg (12-1, 6-0 NCAC) led for the majority of the first half with Hiram's (3-10, 1-5 NCAC) only lead coming at the 14:39 minute mark following one-of-two free-throws by senior Matt Roman (North Olmsted). The Tigers then went on an 8-0 scoring run to regain the lead, 17-10, with 12:16 to go in the period. Wittenberg led by as many as 13 points and had a 38-27 advantage at the intermission.
In the second half, Wittenberg led by double-digits for the majority of the period, including boasting an 18-point margin, 57-39, with 13:01 remaining in the game. Hiram slowly began to chip away and outscored Wittenberg, 11-4, to cut the deficit to nine points, 59-50, following a three-pointer by freshman guard Kyle Deckerd (Louisville/Canton South) at the 8:54 mark. But the Tigers answered with five straight points to extend the margin back to double figures, 64-50, with 8:06 to go. Hiram would again rally, this time outscoring the Tigers, 20-7, to cut the deficit to a point, 71-70, following a layup by sophomore forward Riley Moore (Grafton/Midview) with 2:30 left to play. Wittenberg added a free-throw on its ensuing possession, before the Terriers took the lead on a triple by Roman making the score 73-72 with just under two minutes remaining. Hiram also led by one point, 75-74, at the 1:04 mark, but Wittenberg would outscore Hiram, 6-1, to go up by four points, 80-76, with seven seconds left. Hiram connected on a three by Deckerd with just over a second to go to make it a one-point game again, 80-79. The Terriers fouled on the ensuing inbounds pass, sending the Tigers to the free-throw line with just under a second to go. Wittenberg missed on both attempts and the final full-court heave by Hiram fell short as the Tigers hung on for the 80-79 victory.
Wittenberg shot 46.9 percent (23-of-49) from the field and 43.5 percent (10-of-23) from three-point range. THe Tigers were led in scoring by Scott Masin with 18 points. Zack Leahy was second with 14 points and Cody Phillippi added 11 points. Rounding out the high scorers was Cole Bond with 10 points.
Hiram shot 40.7 percent (24-of-59) from the floor and attempted 30 free-throws in the game, making 21 (70.0 percent). The Terriers had five players score in double figures led by senior All-NCAC guard Aaron Stefanov (Stow/Stow-Munroe Falls) with 18 points on three-of-12 shooting (25.0 percent), including 11-of-12 (91.7 percent) at the charity stripe. Deckerd was second with 11 point and the trio of Roman, Moore and senior forward Chris Zurowski (Medina) all finished with 10 points. In addition, Zurowski had a game-tying high seven rebounds.
Hiram will travel to Wooster for a NCAC matchup against No. 2 The College of Wooster on Wednesday, Jan. 15. The game is scheduled to begin at 8 p.m.

Inside The Huddle: Brands, Athletes, and Equity Deals with Ricky Medina
Marketing / July 11th, 2019
In the buildup to Front Office Sports' Brand Marketing Huddle at the LA Stadium Premiere Center on July 11, we're introducing you to the huddle leaders who will be lending their expertise to the conversation.
Today, meet Ricky Medina: Senior Manager of Licensing and Business Development with the NFL Players Association. In this role, Medina leads negotiations for new licensing deals & partnerships while representing the intellectual property for a group player licensing program for all current NFL players.
Growing up in northern New Jersey, Medina's love for sports started early as a fan of New York's professional teams. Now 13 years into his career, Medina still holds that passion close.
Medina also works closely with REP Worldwide: the NFLPA's subsidiary licensing representation business launched in partnership with the U.S. Women's National Soccer Team Players Association (USWNTPA) and the Women's National Basketball Players Association (WNBPA). He describes this as one of his proudest professional achievements.
"It's really hard to do it justice and put into words," Medina says, "but working in partnership and on behalf of world-class female athletes that have either largely been overlooked historically or haven't had the resources (because they've been overlooked) to properly monetize their influence and achievements has been inspiring, and is something I'm not only proud of but – and this cannot be overstated – is a responsibility that has tentacles beyond the bounds of sports into important societal issues."
Working in a role that sees him frequently observing, how brands and athletes establish working relationships, Medina says the biggest key for either to find success is authenticity.
"It's becoming more and more common for athletes and brands to have an expectation of how they can be an extension of one another – the values they hold, the common interests they share," Medina states. "One of my colleagues, Terése Whitehead always tells me – that athletes nowadays are looking for brands that can extend their own personal brand. In most cases it can no longer be a purely transactional relationship whereby the brand is simply paying an athlete to hold a product and tell the customer to buy it. That's partially a byproduct of a shift in consumer behavior, but it's also what brands and athletes are demanding of one another."
Medina's advice to students looking to start their careers in sports is to to simply get as much experience as possible and take advantage of every opportunity.
"The advice I'd offer up is to do everything possible to get your foot in the door," he says. "Don't concern yourself with the specific role – internship, entry level, volunteer work. Whatever it is, whatever it takes – if you're passionate enough about it and want it badly enough, there is a path to gain experience and exposure. Once you do get that foot in the door, work like there's no tomorrow, be present and develop relationships. Schedule coffee or lunch meetings with people you want to learn from – you may be surprised with how generous folks are with their time when it comes to mentoring."
Meet Ricky and hear more of his thoughts on the current brand marketing space at the Front Office Sports Brand Marketing Huddle at the LA Stadium Premiere Center in Los Angeles, CA on July 11. For tickets and additional info, click here.

\section{Introduction}
Nonspreading wave packets are those packets whose form of the
probability density function $|\Psi(x,t)|^2$ under time evolution
do not change. The shapes of energy eigenstates of a time
independent potential are stationary and are therefore
nonspreading in the trivial case. The first interesting
nonspreading wave packets was found by Schr\"{o}dinger \cite
{Schrodinger}. This packet is normalizabe, and is the shifted
ground state of a harmonic oscillator. The motion of the packet
behaves just like a classical particle shifted from its
equilibrium position, executing the simple harmonic motion. After
that, Senitzky extended the result showing that shifted higher
energy eigenstates are also nonspreading \cite{Senitzky}. Senitzky
also showed that the expectation value of energy of a nonspreading
wave packet is $E_n + E_{cl}$, where $E_n$ is the quantum
mechanical energy of a wave packet when it is stationary, and
$E_{cl}$ the classical energy of the particle. Thus, though the
motion of a classical particle and a nonspreading wave packet is
the same, their energy contents are different. We may view $E_n$
the structure energy of the stationary wave packet besides the
classical energy.

The extension of nonspreading packets from shifted ground state to
shifted higher energy eigenstates were also found by Roy and Singh
\cite{Roy},  Yan  \cite{Yan}, and Mentrup \textit{et al}.
\cite{Mentrup}, etc.

Much later than Schr\"{o}dinger, Berry and Balazs found another
interesting nonspreading Airy packet $\textmd{Ai}[x]$ in free
space \cite{Berry}. Airy packets $\textmd{Ai}[x]$ though bounded
are not square integrable. An Airy packet does not move in uniform
velocity in free space, instead, it accelerates. Thus, in contrast
to Schr\"{o}dinger packets, the motion of an Airy wave packet is
different from that of a classical particle in free space. This is
due to that Airy packet is not normalizable, and therefore does
not really describe a particle. Nonspreading Airy packets even
exist in time-dependent uniform force \cite{Berry}. It had been
shown that no other potentials except those described above will
support nonspreading Airy packets \cite{Lin}. There are beginning
a lot of investigation on the interesting optical Airy beams. The
Airy optical beams was recently first observed by Christodoulides
\textit{el}. \cite{Christodoulides}. Nonspreading wave packets in
an imaginary potential was also observed by St\"{u}zle
\textit{el}. \cite{Stuzle}. These packets are called Michelangelo
wave packets, which though reach a stationary width, the
probability density however decays in time, and hence are not
really form invariant. In second section, we show that it needs a
real potential to have a form invariant packet.

Nonspreading wave packets is an interesting and important subject.
The essential ingredients of a nonspreading wave packet are its
shape function $f(x)$, its motion $d(t)$, and its phase function
$\phi(x,t)$. From the previous works of many people, we can have a
general discussion on this subject. We derive the general rule for
constructing nonspreading wave packets in the second section. We
derive Berry and Balazs's result in free space and a linear
potential in the third section. We derive Schr\"{o}dinger and
Senitzky's result in the fourth section. We discuss results in other
potentials in the fifth section showing that most stationary
potentials can only support stationary wave packets. We discuss
nonspreading wave packets in time dependent potentials in the final
section.

\section{General derivation}

We start with Schr\"{o}dinger equation,

\begin{equation} i\hbar\frac{\partial \Psi(x,t)}{\partial t}= H\Psi(x,t).
\label{b1} \end{equation}\\

\noindent The Hamiltonian $H$ is

\begin{equation} H =-\frac{\hbar^2}{2m}\partial_x\partial_x+V(x,t). \label{b2}
\end{equation}\\

\noindent The potential $V(x,t)$ is allowed to be complex and is written
as

\begin{equation} V(x,t)=V_r(x,t)+i\; V_i(x,t),  \label{b3} \end{equation}\\

\noindent where $V_r(x,t)$ and $V_i(x,t)$ are two real functions. We are
looking for non-spreading wave packets in a general potential
$V(x,t)$. Let the initial wave packet be

\begin{equation} \Psi(x,0)=f(x)\;e^{i\theta(x)},  \label{b4}  \end{equation}\\

\noindent where $f(x)$ and $\theta(x)$ are real functions. We require the
time evolved wave function $\Psi(x,t) $ being of the form

\begin{equation} \Psi(x,t)=f(q)\;e^{i\phi(x,t)}, \label{b5}  \end{equation}\\

\noindent where

 \begin{equation} q= x-d(t). \label{b6} \end{equation}\\

\noindent The two functions $d(t)$ and $\phi(x,t)$ are real, and satisfy
the boundary conditions

\begin{align}
&d(0)=0.   \nonumber \\
&\phi(x,0)=\theta(x).  \label{b7}  \end{align}\\

\noindent The function $d(t)$ describes the motion of the packet, and
$\dot{d}(t)$ is its group velocity. We have $|\Psi(x,0)|^2=f(x)^2$
and $|\Psi(x,t)|^2=f(q)^2$, so $|\Psi(x,t)|^2$ has the same form as
$|\Psi(x,0)|^2$; therefore, $\Psi(x,t)$ is a nonspreading wave
packet.

We need to determine the functional form of $f(q)$ and the related
phase function $\phi(x,t)$. We rewrite the Schr\"{o}dinger equation
as

\begin{equation} i\hbar\frac{\partial\Psi(x,t)}{\partial
t}+\frac{\hbar^2}{2m}\partial_x\partial_x\Psi(x,t)-V(x,t)\Psi(x,t)=0.
\label{b8} \end{equation}\\

\noindent Substituting (\ref{b5}) into (\ref{b8}) and separating the
equation into real and imaginary parts, we have then two equations.
The real part gives the equation:

\begin{equation} \frac{\hbar^2}{2m}f''(q) =[ \;
-V_r(x,t)+\hbar\partial_t\phi(x,t)+
\frac{\hbar^2 (\partial_x\phi(x,t))^2}{2m} \; ] f(q). \label{b9} \end{equation}\\

\noindent The imaginary part gives the equation:

\begin{equation} [-\hbar \dot{d}(t)+\frac{\hbar^2}{m}\partial_x\phi(x,t)]\;f'(q)
=[\;V_i(x,t)-\frac{\hbar^2}{2m}\partial_x\partial_x\phi(x,t)\;]\;f(q).
\label{b10} \end{equation}\\

\noindent We have used the notation: $f'(q)$ represents the derivative of
$f(q)$ with respect to $q$, and $\dot{d}(t)$ the derivative of
$d(t)$ with respect to $t$. The real part equation relates $f''(q)$
and $f(q)$. The imaginary part equation relates $f'(q)$ and $f(q)$.
Eq. (\ref{b10}), when multiplied by $2m f(q),$  can be rearranged
into a form as a flux equation

\begin{equation} \partial_x  j(x,t)= 2m V_i(x,t) f(q)^2, \label{b11} \end{equation}\\

where

\begin{equation} j(x,t)= [-m \hbar  \; \dot{d}(t)+ \hbar^{2}\;
\partial_x \phi(x,t)]\; f(q)^2 .  \label{b12} \end{equation}\\

\noindent Taking integration of $x$ of both sides of (\ref{b11}) from
$-\infty$ to $\infty$, we have

\begin{equation} j(\infty,t)-j(-\infty,t)= \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} 2m V_i(x,t)
f(q)^2 dx  \label{b13}. \end{equation}\\

\noindent We consider bounded $f(x)$, such that $f(x)\rightarrow 0$ for
$|x|\rightarrow \infty$. Hence the left hand side is zero. The right
hand side, if $V_i$ is not a zero function, in general is not zero.
This means a complex potential in general does not support
nonspreading packets. It is then to require that

\begin{equation}
V_i (x,t)=0.\label{b14} \end{equation}\\

\noindent From (\ref{b11}), we have

\begin{equation}  \partial_x  j(x,t)= 0. \label{b15} \end{equation}\\

\noindent (\ref{b15}) shows that $j(x,t)$ can only be a function of time.
Then

\begin{equation} j(x,t)= [-m\hbar\dot{d}(t)+\hbar^{2}\;\partial_x
\phi(x,t)]\; f^{2}(q)\equiv b(t). \label{b16} \end{equation}\\

\noindent Using again the boundary condition of $f(x)$ at infinity, we
have

\begin{equation}
b(t)=0.\label{b17} \end{equation}\\

\noindent From (\ref{b16}) and (\ref{b17}), we then have the important
result

\begin{equation} -m\hbar\dot{d}(t)+\hbar^{2}\;\partial_x \phi(x,t)=0. \label{b18} \end{equation}\\

\noindent From (\ref{b18}), the form of $\phi(x,t)$ is determined to be

\begin{align}
&\phi(x,t)=\phi_1 (t) \; x + \phi_0(t).   \label{b19}\\
&\phi_1 (t)=\frac{m \dot{d}(t)}{\hbar}.  \label{b20}  \end{align}\\

\noindent Thus the phase function, $\phi(x,t)$, is restricted to be a
function linear in $x$. From (\ref{b14}), the potential is real, we
then simply write the potential as $V(x,t)$.

We next need to determine the functional form of $f(x)$.
Substituting (\ref{b19}),  (\ref{b20}) into (\ref{b9}), we have the
equation determining the shape of the function $f(q)$.

\begin{equation} \frac{\hbar^2}{2m}f''(q) =[\;V(x,t)+
 \frac{m \dot{d}(t)^{2}} {2}
 + m \ddot{d}(t) \;x +\hbar \dot{\phi}_0(t)\;] f(q).
\label{b21}\end{equation}\\

\noindent  The left-hand side of (\ref{b21}) is a  function of $q$, so
should be the right-hand side. We replace the variable $x$ by
$q+d(t)$, and then expand the terms in the bracket of the right
hand side in terms of the powers of $q$. We have

\begin{equation} \frac{\hbar^2}{2m}f''(q) =(\sum_{n=0}^\infty C_n q^n )\; f(q).\label{b22}\end{equation}\\

\noindent Intuitively, each of the coefficient $C_n$ is time dependent
constant, and should be written as $C_n(t)$. However, in order to be
consistent with the left-hand side being a function of $q$ only,
$C_n$ can only be time independent constant. We call the requirement
that $C_n$ should be time independent, the \textbf{consistency}
condition. The constant $C_0$ contains terms $ m \dot{d}(t)^{2}/2
 + m \ddot{d}(t) \;d(t) +\hbar \dot{\phi}_0(t)$, and also the constant term from
$V(x,t)$, which is, $V(d(t),t)$. We denote the coefficient $C_0$ by
$-E_{\textmd{eff}}$ and denote all the rest terms in the summation
by $V_{\textmd{eff}}$. Then

\begin{equation} -E_{\textmd{eff}} \equiv V(d(t),t)+\frac{m \dot{d}(t)^{2}} {2}+
m d(t) \ddot{d}(t) + \hbar \dot{\phi}_0(t).
\label{b23}\end{equation}\\

\noindent and

\begin{equation} V_{\textmd{eff}}(q)\equiv V(q+d(t),t) -V(d(t),t)+ m
\ddot{d}(t)\; q.
\label{b24}\end{equation} \\

\noindent Eq. (\ref{b21}) can then be rewritten as a form similar to that
of the time independent Schr\"{o}dinger equation. That is

\begin{equation} \;-\frac{\hbar^2}{2m} f''(q) + V_{\textmd{eff}} (q) f(q)\;
= E_{\textmd{eff}} f(q). \label{b25}\end{equation}\\

\noindent We call (\ref{b25}) the \textbf{shape} equation. We see that
the function $f(q)$ is the eigenfunction of a Hamiltonian with a
potential $V_{\textmd{\textmd{eff}}}(q)$. Since the functional
form of a nonspreading wave packet does not change in time, the
shape equation being related to the time independent Schrodinger
equation is quite interesting. Finally, by setting
$E_{\textmd{eff}}$ to one of the energy eigenvalues, we can solve
$\phi_0(t)$ from (\ref{b23}).

We have obtained the general rule for constructing nonspreading
wave packets from a general potential $V(x,t)$.  We list the
following formulas for a conclusion:

\begin{align}
&\Psi(x,0)=f(x)\;e^{i\theta(x)}. \label{b26}\\
&\Psi(x,t)=f(q)\;e^{i\phi(x, t)}. \label{b27}\\
&q=x-d(t).\label{b28}\\
&\phi(x,t)=\phi_1 (t) \; x + \phi_0(t). \label{b29} \\
&\phi_1 (t)=\frac{m \dot{d}(t)}{\hbar}. \label{b30}\\
&\;-\frac{\hbar^2}{2m} f''(q) + V_{\textmd{eff}} (q)\;f(q)
=E_{\textmd{eff}} \;f(q). \label{b31}\\
&V_{\textmd{eff}}(q)=\textmd{V}(q+d(t),t) -V(d(t),t)+ m
\ddot{d}(t)\; q. \label{b32}\\
&E_{\textmd{eff}} =-[\;\textmd{V}(d(t),t)+\frac{m \dot{d}(t)^{2}}
{2}+ m \ddot{d}(t) \; d(t)+ \hbar \dot{\phi}_0(t)\;], \label{b33}
\end{align}\\

\noindent together with the consistency condition, and the boundary
condition: $f(x)\rightarrow 0$ for $|x|\rightarrow \infty$.

In what follows, we give applications to these formulas.

\section{Berry and Balazs's results}

We start from a real potential $V(x,t)=0$. To determine the shapes
of the nonspreading wave packets in this free space, we first
calculate the effective potential $V_{\textmd{eff}}(q)$. We have
from (\ref{b32})

\begin{equation} V_{\textmd{eff}}(q)=m \ddot{d}(t)\; q. \label{c1}\end{equation}\\

\noindent Since $ V_{\textmd{eff}}$ can only be a function of $q$, it
needs that $\ddot{d}(t)$ be a constant. We set

\begin{equation} \ddot{d}(t)= B^{3}/(2 m^2). \label{c2}\end{equation}\\

\noindent Then $V_{\textmd{eff}}= B^{3}q/(2m) $, which is a linear
potential. Substituting this into (\ref{b31}), we obtain the shape
equation

\begin{equation} f''(q)- \frac{B^{3}}{\hbar^{2}}\;q\;f(q)= \frac{-2m
E_{\textmd{eff}}}{\hbar^2} f(q). \label{c3}\end{equation}\\

\noindent The solution of (\ref{c3}) is the Airy function. Thus the
nonspreading wave packet in free space is determined to be Airy
functions. We consider here the simplest solution by taking
$E_{\textmd{eff}}=0$. The solution of Eq.(\ref{c3}) is then
$A_i[(B/\hbar^{2/3})\; q]$, where we neglect the divergent
solution $B_i[(B/\hbar^{2/3})\;q]$.

The motion of the packet, $d(t)$, can be solved from (\ref{c2}).
Choosing the boundary conditions as $d(0)=0$, and $\dot{d}(0)=0$,
we have the simplest solution:

\begin{equation} d(t)= \frac{B^{3}t^{2}}{4 m^{2}}.\label{c4}\end{equation}\\

\noindent We obtain $\phi_1(t)$ from (\ref{b30}). Then

\begin{equation} \phi_1(t)= \frac{B^{3}t}{2m \hbar}.\label{c5}\end{equation}\\

\noindent We obtain  $\phi_0(t)$ from (\ref{b33}) with
$E_{\textmd{eff}}$=0, and the boundary condition $\phi_0 (0)=0$,
we have

\begin{equation} \phi_0(t)= -\frac{B^{6} t^{3}}{12 m^{3} \hbar}.\label{c6}\end{equation}\\

\noindent We compare these results with Berry's result:

\begin{equation} \Psi(x,t)=Ai[\frac{B}{\hbar^{2/3}}(x-\frac{B^3t^2}{4m^2})]
e^{i\frac{B^3t}{2m\hbar}(x-\frac{B^3t^2}{6m^2})}. \label{c7} \end{equation}\\

\noindent We see they are the same. From (\ref{c3}), we also see that
the only nonspreading wave packets in free space is the Airy
function \cite{Berry}, \cite{Unnikrishnan}. The trivial plane wave
solution corresponds to taking $B=0$ in (\ref{c3}).

We next consider the real potential

\begin{equation} V(x,t)=-F(t)x. \label{d1} \end{equation}\\

\noindent From (\ref{b32}), we have

\begin{equation} V_{\textmd{eff}}(q)=[-F(t)+ m \ddot{d}(t)] \;q.\label{d2} \end{equation}\\

\noindent For consistency, it needs that $[-F(t)+ m \ddot{d}(t)]$ be a
constant. We set

\begin{equation} -F(t)+ m \ddot{d}(t)= B^{3}/(2m). \label{d3}\end{equation}\\

\noindent Then $V_{\textmd{eff}} = B^{3}/(2m) q $. Thus the nonspreading
wave packets in the potential $ V(x,t)=-F(t)x$ are the Airy
functions again, as found by Berry and Balazs. Again, we calculate

The rest of the complete results are easily shown to be

\begin{equation} d(t)= \frac{B^3 t^2}{4m^2}+\frac{1}{m}\int_0^t\int_0^\tau
F(x)dxd\tau. \label{d4}\end{equation}

\begin{equation} \phi_1(t)=\frac{B^3 t}{2m \hbar}+
\frac{1}{\hbar}\int_0^tF(\tau)d\tau. \label{d5} \end{equation}

\begin{align}
\phi_0(t)= &-\frac{B^6  t^3}{12m^3 \hbar} -\frac{1}{2 m \hbar}
\int_0^t\; [\int_0^{\tau} F(x) dx\;]^{2}
d\tau \nonumber\\
&-\frac{B^3}{2 m^2 \hbar}\;[\int_0^t \tau \int_0^{\tau} F(x) dx
d\tau +\int_0^t \int_0^{\tau} \int_0^x  F(y) dy dx d\tau].
\label{d6}
\end{align}\\

\noindent Using the identity

\begin{equation} \int_0^t(t-\tau)F(\tau)d\tau=\int_0^t\int_0^{\tau}F(x)dxd\tau
\label{d7}. \end{equation}\\

\noindent we see these results are the same as those of Berry and
Balazs's \cite{Berry}.

\section{Schr\"{o}dinger and Senitzky's results}

We consider the potential

\begin{equation} V(x)=\frac{1}{2}m\omega^2x^2.  \label{e1} \end{equation}\\

\noindent From (\ref{b32}), we have

\begin{equation} V_{\textmd{eff}}(q)=
\frac{1}{2}m \omega ^2 q^2 +m [\;\ddot{d}(t)+ \omega^2 d(t)\;]\; q.\label{e2} \end{equation}\\

\noindent It needs that $\ddot{d}+ \omega^2 d(t)$ be a constant. For a
simplest solution, we set the constant to be zero. Hence

\begin{equation} \ddot{d}+ \omega^2 d(t)=0.\label{e3} \end{equation}\\

\noindent Then $d(t)$ executes simple harmonic motion. This is the same as
the  classical solution of $x(t)$. Taking (\ref{e3}) into
(\ref{e2}), we have

\begin{equation} V_{\textmd{eff}}(q)= \frac{1}{2}m \omega ^2
q^2.\label{e4} \end{equation}\\

\noindent The shape equation then is of the form

\begin{equation} -\frac{\hbar^2}{2m} f''(q) + \frac{1}{2}m \omega ^2 q^2\;f(q)
= E_{\textmd{eff}} f(q)\label{e5}\end{equation}\\

\noindent We see $f(q)=\psi_n (q)$, the energy eigenfunctions of the
simple harmonic oscillator. Each eigenfunction $\psi_n (q)$ then
offers a nonspreading wave packet. These packets though with the
shape of stationary energy eigenfunction, however, they are moving
and are in fact executing the simple harmonic motion. We have then
reproduced Schr\"{o}dinger and Senitzky 's result.

Starting from (\ref{e3}), we have the following results

\begin{equation} d(t)=x_0 \;sin(\omega t). \label{e6} \end{equation}

\begin{equation} \phi_1(t)= \frac{m  \omega x_0}{\hbar}\;cos(\omega t).
\label{e7} \end{equation}

\begin{equation} \phi_0(t)=-\frac{m  \omega x_0^2}{4 \hbar} \;sin(2\omega
t) -\frac{E_n t}{\hbar} .\label{e8} \end{equation}\\

We also easily see that if the frequency is time dependent, that is
$\omega= \omega(t)$, then the effective potential from (\ref{e2}) is

\begin{equation} V_{\textmd{eff}}(q)=
\frac{1}{2}m \omega (t) ^2 q^2 +m [\;\ddot{d}(t)+ \omega (t)^2 d(t)\;]\; q.\label{e9} \end{equation}\\

\noindent From the consistency requirement, we need the coefficients of
$q$ and $q^2$ be constant, hence $\omega$ should be a constant. Thus
a harmonic oscillator with a time dependent frequency can not
support a nonspreading wave packet, as described in Yan's paper
\cite{Yan}.

\section{ potential $ V(x)=\lambda x^n, n\geq 3$}

For potentials of the form

\begin{equation} V(x)=\lambda x^n, n \geq 3,  \label{f1} \end{equation}\\

\noindent it is trivial to see that from $V_{\textmd{eff}}$ and the
consistency equation, the motion $d(t)$ must be a constant.
function

From (\ref{b32}), we have

\begin{equation} V_{\textmd{eff}}(q)=\lambda[q+d(t)]^n -
\lambda d(t)^n +m \ddot{d}\; q. \label{f2} \end{equation}\\

\noindent Expanding $\lambda [q+d(t)]^n$ in terms of powers of $q$, we
have the first few terms

\begin{equation} \lambda q^n + \lambda n d(t) q^{n-1}+ \cdots. \label{f3} \end{equation}\\

\noindent The second term of (\ref{f3}) shows that $d(t)$ needs to be a
constant. Thus the packet does not move. This implies that the
nonspreading packets can only be stationary packets. We set this
constant as $d$, then we have

\begin{equation} d(t)=d. \label{f4} \end{equation}\\

\noindent And then we have

\begin{equation} V_{\textmd{eff}}(q)=\lambda[q+d)]^n -
\lambda d^n . \label{f5} \end{equation}\\

\noindent Substituting this to (\ref{b31}), we have the shape equation of
the form

\begin{equation} -\frac{\hbar^2}{2m} f''(q) + \lambda [q+d)]^n \;f(q) = E f(q),
\label{f6} \end{equation}\\

\noindent where $E=E_{eff}+\lambda d^n$. As $q+d=x$, formula (\ref{f6})
shows that the function $f(q) = \psi_n(x)$, the energy eigenfunction
of the Hamiltonian with potential $V(x)=\lambda x^n$. Since the
packet is the energy eigenfunction, it is a stationary wave; and
therefore it does not move. We conclude that there is no moving
nonspreading packet in a potential of the form $V(x,t)=\lambda x^n,
n \geq 3$. The same argument applies also to showing that a
potential, such as $V(x)=\lambda/x$, does not support moving
nonspreading wave packets. We see most stationary potentials can
only support stationary wave packets.

\section{ time dependent potentials with moving nonspreading wave packets}

From above results, hence, in order to have moving nonspreading wave
packets, we need to consider time dependent potentials. The simplest
way is to move the potential. That is to consider $V(x-d(t))$. In
this way, there are in fact many nonspreading wave packets with
arbitrary motion that can be constructed. For instance, we start
from a given motion, such as $d(t)= t^2$, etc., and then consider
the time dependent potential

\begin{equation} V(x,t)=\frac{1}{2} m \omega^2 (x-d(t))^2 - m x \ddot{d}(t)
-\frac{1}{2} m \omega^2 x_0 ^2 \;sin(\omega t)^2.
\label{g1} \end{equation}\\

\noindent The effective potential calculated from (\ref{g1}) and
(\ref{b32}) is

\begin{equation} V_{\textmd{eff}}(q)= \frac{1}{2} m \omega^2 q^2. \label{g2} \end{equation}\\

\noindent Thus, the potential in Eq. (\ref{g1}) offers nonspreading wave
packets, with the shapes of the eigenfunctions of SHO, moving with
the arbitrary function $d(t)$. If we set $d(t)= x_0 \; sin(\omega
t)$, and substituting this to (\ref{g1}), we find the needed
potential for this motion is $V(x,t)=\frac{1}{2} m \omega^2 x^2$, as
expected.

Another example is considering the time dependent potential

\begin{equation} V(x,t)= \lambda (x-d(t))^4 - m x \ddot{d}(t).
\label{g3} \end{equation}\\

\noindent The effective potential can be calculated to be

\begin{equation} V_{\textmd{eff}}(q)= \lambda \; q^4 . \label{g4} \end{equation}\\

\noindent The potential in Eq. (\ref{g3}) then offers nonspreading wave
packets with the shapes of the eigenfunctions of the potential
$V(x)=\lambda x^4$. These nonspreading wave packets move with the
arbitrary function $d(t)$ as the moving potential does. We see that
in order to move a nonspreading wave packet, we need a moving
potential, and also a linear potential $- m x \ddot{d}(t)$, which
offers a force $ m \ddot{d}(t)$; this is just the force needed for a
particle with a motion $d(t)$. In conclusion, a moving potential
$\lambda (x-d(t))^4$, together with a time dependent linear
potential $- m x \ddot{d}(t)$, will drive stationary-shaped packets
going around with a journey $d(t)$. It is like to have water moving
in space, we put it in a bowl, and carry the bowl going around.

Ellie Simmonds: 'When we're in the pool, it's war'
Stephen Moss
After coming from nowhere to take gold in 2008, Paralympic poster girl Ellie Simmonds will be the one to beat in London

@StephenMossGdn
Mon 29 Aug 2011 18.00 EDT
Swimmer Ellie Simmonds has achieved an absurd amount in her 16 years: she has won eight gold medals, including two at the Paralympic Games in Beijing in 2008 when she was 13; won BBC Young Sports Personality of the Year; and in 2009 was the youngest person ever to be awarded the MBE. Not bad for someone who is 4ft 1in, and who has achondroplasia, or dwarfism. Following her unexpected triumphs, she has become the face of British Paralympic sport, and that face, with eyelashes so long I cheekily ask her whether they are false, will be everywhere over the next year.
The London Games are very much on her mind, but when we meet at a Paralympic training camp in Bath she has a more immediate concern – her GCSE results. The exams have interrupted her training in the past couple of months, and affected her preparations for July's European championships. "Swimming had to take a bit of a back seat so I could focus on my exams," she says, "because I really want to have a good future and do well." She hopes to study history, world development and citizenship at A level.
She won two more golds at the championships and set two world records in her S6 disability category (which is in the middle of the 1 to 10 disability range), but she wasn't entirely satisfied. "Mentally I wasn't in the right place. I was OK, but not perfection." Simmonds sets herself extremely high standards. What really irked her at the European championships was that she only got silver, behind arch-rival Mirjam de Koning-Pepper of the Netherlands, in the 100m freestyle, an event in which Simmonds had been unbeaten since Beijing.
The 100m freestyle is her signature event. It was winning gold in the 100m in Beijing and bursting into tears on live TV afterwards that propelled her to national attention and fast-tracked her through the honours system. "That interview was a bit embarrassing," she says now. "I was so shocked to have won. But I suppose it's all right. I was just showing my emotion. My dream in the year leading up to the Games had been to win a gold medal. Your head's in focus and all you think about is swimming, and you're training so hard, so when you win all your emotions come out. You're so happy and so tired."
How could a 13-year-old want to win so much? "I've always been focused," she says, "ever since I was a young girl, and I've always been really determined." She started swimming at five years old, at a club near her family's home in Walsall, competed against able-bodied swimmers from the age of eight, and was talent-spotted by UK Sport at 10. The following year, Simmonds relocated to Swansea with her mother Val to have access to a 50m pool and to be coached by Billy Pye. Each weekend they go back to Birmingham after her Saturday-morning training session to spend time with father Steve and to see her three sisters and brother.
Simmonds stresses it was her decision to go to Swansea, not her mother's, and that is borne out later when I meet Val, who is the antithesis of the pushy mum. How could she give up so much for Ellie's swimming career? It is only six years out of a lifetime, she explains, and her success has given the family huge pleasure. "I think she was born to swim," says Val, explaining that even as a toddler Ellie was always throwing herself into puddles. The family had an outdoor swimming pool – there can't be many of those in Walsall – and Ellie and her friends were hardly ever out of it. Her father is an environmental consultant who advises companies on waste disposal, and there's clearly money in rubbish.
Val, who still calls her daughter Eleanor rather than the more media-friendly Ellie, explains that the switch to Swansea had to be made at 11 years old to minimise disruption to her schooling, and that it was only possible because she is the youngest of the five and the others were largely self-sufficient. I ask Ellie whether she feels she sacrificed her childhood to swim for Britain. "No, not really," she says. "I didn't just swim when I was younger. I did ballet, horse riding, everything. I was very active." Her parents were determined to show that her condition imposed no limits on what she could do.
Did her stature make her feel different from other children? "I've grown up with it," she says, unaware of the irony. "I don't see it as a disability. I'm just a normal person, but a bit smaller than everyone else." Did it make her more determined? "Probably, yes," she says, "though since I've never been tall I don't really know." She hopes her achievements will inspire others. "There are people out there who think they can't do anything, so just sit around all day. But they can do things – not just in sport but in anything."
Ellie, who has kept traces of her Midlands accent, is nervous as she talks, and fiddles with the name tag round her neck. She also tires in the course of the late-afternoon interview. She was doing her usual morning training stint in Swansea at 5.30am – one of nine two-hour sessions a week – and then took the train to Bath, where she has spent the day performing ambassadorial duties on behalf of EDF Energy, one of her sponsors. How has she adapted to life as a hot commercial property? "It's hectic," she says. "In the months after Beijing it was non-stop. I seemed to spend most of my time in London. But I enjoyed it. It was a whirlwind."
She has taken on an agent, and no doubt there will be an autobiography one of these days. She plans to keep a diary of the London Games, so pencil that in for Christmas 2013. But she insists her feet remain on the ground. "I don't want to be stuck up. I'm just a normal person. My friends think of me as a normal friend, and I like that. They ask what I've been up to, but they just treat me normally and they didn't change after Beijing."
In 2008, she came from nowhere to take gold. This time, she will be expected to win. Does that make it harder? "There'll be a lot more pressure on me," she says, "and on the whole team. Going into Beijing I'd only been to one major competition, which was when I was 12. No one had heard of me. Now there'll be other swimmers coming from nowhere to challenge me – my enemies." Her use of the term "enemies", rather than rivals, amuses me. Is that really how she sees them? "That's what I call them," she says. "They're nice people and I get on well with them, but when we're in the pool, it's war."
In next year's Games, she is likely to swim in the 50m, 100m and 400m freestyle, and the 200m medley, but she's not taking anything for granted. "I'm not going to say I'll get four gold medals. Firstly, I'm thinking about qualifying, and then hopefully I can go out there and retain my Beijing titles. I'm just going to try to swim my best." As well as her old adversary De Koning-Pepper, a veteran of the Dutch team, there are dangerous new "enemies" from China, the US and Germany.
Does she feel the Paralympic Games, which have struggled to win both coverage and credibility, now have the status they deserve? "Beijing helped a lot," she says. "We got a lot of publicity there." The UK team also did well, coming second to China in the overall medals table. Channel 4 will broadcast the Paralympics in 2012, and Simmonds says it has already begun filming the athletes to introduce them to the public ahead of the Games. As always, sport relies on narrative: once viewers know the athletes' stories and struggles, the competition comes alive.
Will one story in particular, that of South African "blade runner" Oscar Pistorius, overwhelm everything else? "He's a legend," says Simmonds, "and he'll get more publicity for the rest of us, especially if he competes in the Olympics as well as the Paralympics." She points out that the South African swimmer Natalie du Toit also competed in both Games in Beijing, so Pistorius's feat would not be unique. The UK Paralympic team is likely to be augmented by soldiers who have lost limbs in Afghanistan, and have taken up sport as part of their rehabilitation. Do the old guard feel threatened? "No," she insists, "we'll have an even bigger, stronger team. Those people who fought for our country should have another thing to achieve."
Simmonds doesn't see herself devoting her life to swimming. She says she can't even imagine doing it full time, and prefers to combine it with study and then a job. "You need something else to do to distract you," she says. "I like to have other things to think about." She's got London in her sights, and then Rio in 2016, but after that it becomes fuzzy. Does she want a family? "Yes, that would be cool," she says with her high-pitched laugh, "but not for a while – after I'm 30." By which time she will no doubt have won 25 golds, written three autobiographies and been made a Dame. Size, as they say, isn't everything.

Carlo Ancelotti named new Real Madrid coach
Madrid (AFP) – Carlo Ancelotti will return to Real Madrid as coach for the next three seasons, the Spanish club said Tuesday following last week's resignation of Zinedine Zidane.
The 61-year-old Italian, who won the Champions League for Real Madrid during his first spell at the club between 2013 and 2015, will sign his new deal and be presented to the media on Wednesday, the club said in a statement.
Ancelotti joined Everton in December 2019 and thanked the English club ands its fans "for the tremendous support they have all given me".
"While I have enjoyed being at Everton I have been presented with an unexpected opportunity which I believe is the right move for me and my family at this time," he added in a statement published on Everton's website.
The English club said it would "begin the process of appointing a new manager immediately and will provide updates in due course."
Real won the Champions League three times under Zidane but ended the 2020-21 campaign without a trophy having finished second in La Liga behind city rivals Atletico Madrid.
The Spanish giants also lost to eventual winners Chelsea in the Champions League semi-finals.
It was the first time that the 13-time European champions had failed to win a trophy in 11 seasons.

The Dore Lectures on Mental Science are required reading for anyone wishing to understand and control the power of the mind. Without these lectures the New Thought Movement and The Science of Mind might never have been born. Thomas Troward was an early New Thought writer who had an immense impact on those who would follow. Ernest Holmes, Frederick Bailes, Joseph Murphy, and Emmett Fox cited him as a major influence, and Genevieve Behrend was his student. It is impossible to over estimate his importance to the New Thought movement. His intense fusion of Eastern and Western philosophy is unmatched.
The addresses contained in this volume were delivered by me at the Dore Gallery, Bond Street, London, on the Sundays of the first three months of the present year, and are now published at the kind request of many of my hearers, hence their title of "The Dore Lectures." A number of separate discourses on a variety of subjects necessarily labours under the disadvantage of want of continuity, and also under that of a liability to the frequent repetition of similar ideas and expressions, and the reader will, I trust, pardon these defects as inherent in the circumstances of the work.
At the same time it will be found that, although not specially so designed, there is a certain progressive development of thought through the dozen lectures which compose this volume, the reason for which is that they all aim at expressing the same fundamental idea, namely that, though the laws of the universe can never be broken, they can be made to work under special conditions which will produce results that could not be produced under the conditions spontaneously provided by nature.
This is a simple scientific principle and it shows us the place which is occupied by the personal factor, that, namely, of an intelligence which sees beyond the present limited manifestation of the Law into its real essence, and which thus constitutes the instrumentality by which the infinite possibilities of the Law can be evoked into forms of power, usefulness, and beauty.
The more perfect, therefore, the working of the personal factor, the greater will be the results developed from the Universal Law; and hence our lines of study should be two-fold—on the one hand the theoretical study of the action of Universal Law, and on the other the practical fitting of ourselves to make use of it; and if the present volume should assist any reader in this two-fold quest, it will have answered its purpose.
The different subjects have necessarily been treated very briefly, and the addresses can only be considered as suggestions for lines of thought which the reader will be able to work out for himself, and he must therefore not expect that careful elaboration of detail which I would gladly have bestowed had I been writing on one of these subjects exclusively. This little book must be taken only for what it is, the record of somewhat fragmentary talks with a very indulgent audience, to whom I gratefully dedicate the volume.
We all know the meaning of this phrase in our everyday life. The Spirit is that which gives life and movement to anything, in fact it is that which causes it to exist at all. The thought of the author, the impression of the painter, the feeling of the musician, is that without which their works could never have come into being, and so it is only as we enter into the IDEA which gives rise to the work, that we can derive all the enjoyment and benefit from it which it is able to bestow. If we cannot enter into the Spirit of it, the book, the picture, the music, are meaningless to us: to appreciate them we must share the mental attitude of their creator. This is a universal principle; if we do not enter into the Spirit of a thing, it is dead so far as we are concerned; but if we do enter into it we reproduce in ourselves the same quality of life which called that thing into existence.
Now if this is a general principle, why can we not carry it to a higher range of things? Why not to the highest point of all? May we not enter into the originating Spirit of Life itself, and so reproduce it in ourselves as a perennial spring of livingness? This, surely, is a question worthy of our careful consideration.
Now this is the Spirit that we need to enter into, and the method of doing so is a perfectly logical one. It is the same method by which all scientific advance is made. It consists in first observing how a certain law works under the conditions spontaneously provided by nature, next in carefully considering what principle this spontaneous working indicates, and lastly deducing from this how the same principle would act under specially selected conditions, not spontaneously provided by nature.
INDIVIDUAL PERSONALITY the Spirit can only work cosmically by a GENERIC Law; but this law admits of far higher specialization, and this specialization can only be attained through the introduction of the personal factor. But to introduce this factor the individual must be fully aware of the PRINCIPLE which underlies the spontaneous or cosmic action of the law. Where, then, will he find this principle of Life? Certainly not by contemplating Death. In order to get a principle to work in the way we require it to, we must observe its action when it is working spontaneously in this particular direction. We must ask why it goes in the right direction as far as it does—and having learnt this we shall then be able to make it go further. The law of floatation was not discovered by contemplating the sinking of things, but by contemplating the floating of things which floated naturally, and then intelligently asking why they did so.
The knowledge of a principle is to be gained by the study of its affirmative action; when we understand THAT we are in a position to correct the negative conditions which tend to prevent that action.
Now Death is the absence of Life, and disease is the absence of health, so to enter into the Spirit of Life we require to contemplate it, where it is to be found, and not where it is not- -we are met with the old question, "Why seek ye the living among the dead?" This is why we start our studies by considering the cosmic creation, for it is there that we find the Life Spirit working through untold ages, not merely as deathless energy, but with a perpetual advance into higher degrees of Life. If we could only so enter into the Spirit as to make it personally IN OURSELVES what it evidently is in ITSELF, the magnum opus would be accomplished. This means realizing our life as drawn direct from the Originating Spirit; and if we now understand that the Thought or Imagination of the Spirit is the great reality of Being, and that all material facts are only correspondences, then it logically follows that what we have to do is to maintain our individual place in the Thought of the Parent Mind.
We have seen that the action of the Originating Mind must needs be GENERIC, that is according to types which include multitudes of individuals. This type is the reflection of the Creative Mind at the level of that particular GENIUS; and at the human level it is Man, not as associated with particular circumstances, but as existing in the absolute ideal.
In proportion then as we learn to dissociate our conception of ourselves from particular circumstances, and to rest upon our ABSOLUTE nature, as reflections of the Divine ideal, we, in our turn, reflect back into the Divine Imagination its original conception of itself as expressed in generic or typical Man, and so by a natural law of cause and effect, the individual who realizes this mental attitude enters permanently into the Spirit of Life, and it becomes a perennial fountain of Life springing up spontaneously within him.
He then finds himself to be as the Bible says, "the image and likeness of God." He has reached the level at which he affords a new starting point for the creative process, and the Spirit, finding a personal centre in him, begins its work de nova, having thus solved the great problem of how to enable the Universal to act directly upon the plane of the Particular.
It is in this sense, as affording the requisite centre for a new departure of the creative Spirit, that man is said to be a "microcosm," or universe in miniature; and this is also what is meant by the esoteric doctrine of the Octave, of which I may be able to speak more fully on some other occasion.
If the principles here stated are carefully considered, they will be found to throw light on much that would otherwise be obscure, and they will also afford the key to the succeeding essays.
The reader is therefore asked to think them out carefully for himself, and to note their connection with the subject of the next article.


I was at Target today and noticed that they have completely revamped their haircare aisles, adding a bunch of new brands and products. The first thing that caught my eye was the new Herbal Essences Dry Shampoo. There's a volumizing formula that smells like White Grapefruit & Mosa Mint, and a revitalizing formula scented with Cucumber & Green Tea.
Also, the entire Herbal Essences brand has gotten a complete overhaul! There are tons of new formulas including Coconut Milk (Hydrate), Vitamin E & Cocoa Butter (Strength), Passion Flower & Rice Milk (Nourish), Rosemary & Herbs (Naked Moisture), Argan Oil of Morocco (Repair), Cucumber & Green Tea (Sheer Moisture), Arabica Coffee Fruit (Volume), White Grapefruit & Mosa Mint (Naked Volume), and Golden Moringa Oil (Smooth).
Next up is a brand new brand that's exclusive to Target that was created by celebrity hairstylist Kristin Ess. She styles Lauren Conrad, Jenna Dewan-Tatum, and Lucy Hale to name a few. She's also a co-founder of TheBeautyDepartment.com. There are 15 products in the line (I only saw 14 at my store so something must have been sold out) and they all contain a first-of-its-kind technology called "Zip-Up" complex which is supposed to mend split ends and help strengthen your hair. Everything is between $10-$14.
The first five products are in gray packaging and include a Finishing Spray, Texture Spray, Dry Shampoo, Loose Styling Powder, and a water-based pomade.
The next set of products in gray packaging include a Volumizing Mousse, Curl Defining Creme, Thickening Spray, Leave-in Conditioner, and Working Serum.
The last set of products include a Reconstructive Moisture Mask, Cleansing Conditioner, Signature Conditioner, and Signature Shampoo. I picked up the Shampoo, Conditioner, and Leave-in Conditioner so I'm really excited to try them!
Next up, I saw a new Repair + Renew line from Infusium that claims to "repair, restore, and restructure" with argan oil and keratin.
I also spotted a new line from Schwarzkopf called Gliss. There are four different formulas...Ultimate Repair, Oil Nutritive, Ultra Moisture, and Color Guard. All are designed to repair damaged hair.
Finally, I spotted the Maui Moisture line, which has already been available at Ulta for several months now. They have really delicious sounding scents such as Coconut Milk, Bamboo Fibers, Vanilla Bean, Rich Honey, Shea Butter, Agave, and Coconut Oil.
Have you seen any of the new hair products at Target or other stores? Have you tried any of them yet? I'd love to hear about it in the comments below!
Oh how cool that Herbal Essences also does dry shampoo.
Me too! I came home with several new products much to my husband's dismay. He's trying to get me to clear out the area under my sink and here I am adding MORE. Haha oops!
I got the Herbal Essences dry shampoo (grapefruit and mint) and I love it tons! The smell is better than any dry shampoo I have ever tried and the volumizing formula really works wonders on my fine hair that always looks flat 10 min after I blow dry. To anyone reading that has fine hair, give it a try!
Gliss is a German line that's been around for years. There it's called Gliss Kur. I always had to ask my mum to mail it to me, coz I love it and miss it so much, now I don't have to!! So excited!


Dear Cedar Point Paddle Wheel Ride – I Miss You!
It's been a few years since I reminisced about the Cedar Point Paddlewheel Excursions (or the Paddle Wheel ride as everyone I know called it). It will always be one of my favorite rides that is lost, never to be ridden again. I would take a return of that over The Pirate Ride (don't tell anyone, I'll get yelled at for that).
Last month we made our last Cedar Point trek of the year and toured Halloweekends. We used our son to get into the haunted house that used to be The Pirate Ride. We were hoping for some remnant to connect us to that place and time of loving the ride. Everything was stripped, not even the whale mouth that they could have incorporated into the walkthrough. It was saddening.
Every time we look at that building we think back to the glory days of Cedar Point. I say this in the sense that it was our time at Cedar Point. We were the target audience. There was more in the park for everyone, and now the focus is on the coasters. Don't get me wrong, I love the coasters. The Gemini will always be my favorite, but that is because it was my first. However for season pass holders that didn't want in crazy lines all day and still be part of the atmosphere, rides like the Paddle Wheel and The Pirate Ride was where it was at.
The picture at the top of this post was a feature on the Paddle Wheel. It was hanging out with the steam punk items in Frontier Land. It all came back to me missing the ride. Watching this inventor try to make it to the end of the ramp. That this next time was going to be the time he took to the sky (or the ride would break and we would see it go into the water).
My son loves Camp Snoopy. I sit there and look at the waterway that used to be The Paddle Wheel and look longingly for it to pass. That it's removal was just a dream. We have done the Dinosaur Island a few times. I hope it has made the park a significant amount of money – since they sacrificed the boat ride for that.
It was a place I used to go and relax. I rarely ever rode it by myself, most of my friends were into it also. It all started the summer of 1993. One of my female friends was dating Captain D of the Paddle Ride. Because of that we hopelessly looped it, sometimes just riding that ride all day. At some point it became an obsession.
A year or two ago I purchased the operators manual for Paddle Wheel excursions. It included how to operate the boat, and the script for the ride. While there were certain parts of the ride that had specific dialogue, the jokes were mostly free form. You could always tell a good captain based on how they deviated from the script. When you ruined the jokes by shouting the punchline, the good captains would know the alternate lines to feed back. It was great when it was a cooperative effort between the crowd and the captain.
They still have at least one of the boats. It does tours around Lake Erie. I can't bring myself to do the extra fee to take it. There are no animatronics. I'm sure the ride is more of a site seeing adventure than a show. I'm sure any witty banter is gone and never to return. That's the problem though – it's gone. It's something I will always remember fondly. A moment of time that can only be captured and reflected upon – when you see a guy trying to fly a plane on a bicycle. Even though you know it's never going to happen, part of you deep inside, hopes this is the time. This is the time that I will see it happen. I will hold onto the feeling – that next year is the year it will return. If not, I will hope for all the years after that.
Until that time, I'm guess I'm just going to have to sit here and drink my swine cooler and reminisce.

Why Did The Bolsheviks Win The Civil War?
There were SIX reasons why the Bolsheviks won the Civil War.
Firstly, the Whites were disunited. They were a coalition of different enemies of the Bolsheviks who hated each other! Their armies were thousands of miles apart, so Trotsky could defeat them one at a time.
The second reason was Trotsky, who was a brilliant war leader and strategist.
Thirdly, the Bolshevik soldiers were enthusiastic. Many were keen Communists, fighting for a better world. Others hated foreigners invading Russia.
War Communism helped the Bolsheviks. They nationalised the factories and made strikes illegal. They rationed food and forced peasants to give food to the government. This gave the Bolshevik armies the supplies they needed.
Fifthly, the Cheka murdered more than 7000 Whites. Terror united all the Bolsheviks and made them keen to win the war.
Finally, the Bolsheviks had what they needed to win the war – control of Moscow and Petrograd (with their factories), control of the railways, and an army of 300,000 men.
The first reason was that the Whites were disunited. They were a coalition of different enemies of the Bolsheviks (Social Revolutionaries, Mensheviks, Tsarists, army officers angry at Brest Litovsk, and nobles whose land had been given to the peasants). In fact, all these different groups hated each other! They were disunited and their armies were thousands of miles apart – Generals Yudenich and Deniken attacked Russia from the west, Admiral Kolchak from the east. This meant that Trotsky could co-ordinate his forces much better, and fight his enemies one at a time.
The second reason was Trotsky, who was a brilliant war leader and strategist, so the Red Army had good tactics.
A third reason was belief. Many Russians were Communists, who believed they were fighting for a better world. Others fought for them because they hated foreign (British, American and French) armies invading Russia. This motivated the Bolshevik soldiers – they were fervent and enthusiastic. Most of their enemies were fighting only because they were paid to.
Lenin helped the Bolsheviks by introducing War Communism. The Bolsheviks nationalised the factories, and introduced military discipline. Strikes were made illegal. They introduced rationing and forced the peasants to give food to the government. This put the whole nation on a war footing, and gave the Bolshevik armies the supplies they needed.
Whereas the whites were disunited, the Bolsheviks maintained absolute unity through Terror. The Tsar and his family were put to death, which removed a focal point for the whites. The Cheka murdered any Whites they found – more than 7000 people were executed, and Red Army generals were kept loyal by taking their families hostage – so the Bolsheviks were united and disciplined towards a single end – winning the war.
Finally, the Bolsheviks had what they needed to win the war. The British, French and American armies were fighting thousands of miles from home, at the end of a long supply line. The Bolsheviks, on the other hand, had control of the main cities of Moscow and Petrograd (with their factories), control of the railways (vital), an army of 300,000 men, very strict army discipline, and internal lines of communication – giving them the advantage in the war. When Kolchak was defeated in 1919, the foreign armies went home. The last white army was defeated in the Crimea in 1920.


Day 25: Ferreiros – Palas del Rei – Goat anyone?
Ironically, as the individual days become more important, they start to blend together.
The newness of new new sights and relations at each bend in the road, fades into the monotony of passing kilometers. I suspect we do this in life too: stop seeing the new and inspirational all around as we set our sights on pre-determined destinations.
Today's pre-determined destination was Palas del Rei and the "three amigos" as we had come to call ourselves decided to spend some independent walking time, rendezvousing there at the end of the day.
There was rain. There were villages. I ate almonds.
Raphael and I found each other just before Palas del Rei and booked beds in the large, modern, but remarkable unequipped municipal albergue on the outskirts of town.
Our third amigo was not in residence; after showering and napping, I limped into town in search of Felicity and something to take back to the albergue for dinner.
I stopped at the first private albergue in town, ordered a cerveza, and got confirmation from the other Aussie whose path had been crossing ours that this was where Felicity had found a bed. I stayed there until Fliss returned from her tour of town and we made plans to meet in the morning.
I then went in search of dinner. So few stores in this sizable village were open on this Sunday evening. Eventually found an assortment of empanadas and raced back to the municipal albergue before the darkening sky opened into a thunderstorm of Midwestern proportions.
I sat on the front porch and watched sheets of water envelop the day's last straggling pilgrims. Why were they delayed? Had they foolishly decided to walk on or was there some unexpected catastrophe that kept them on the road later than they should be?
That evening there was talk of Simone de Beauvoir and William Faulkner. The days ahead and the days passed. The value of writing letters.

PLAYFUL (MY FOOT)
Palace spokesman Harry Roque says the "foremost priority" of the Duterte administration right now is "fighting inflation." In case you're not aware, inflation was arrested last week on rehashed rebellion charges but was released after posting bail.
This article was first published by the Philippine Daily Inquirer on Sept. 30, 2018.
In a speech in Malacañang, President Duterte admitted, "My only sin is extrajudicial killings." And then he said, "I'm not under oath, am I?"
Defending Duterte's statement, Chief Presidential Legal Counsel Salvador Panelo said, "He's Bisaya." PNP Chief Oscar Albayalde said it was uttered "because of frustration" while former senator Juan Ponce Enrile insisted, "Only one was killed and none was arrested in Duterte's war on drugs."
Everyone expected palace spokesman Harry Roque to say that President Duterte was just joking. But in a radio interview, Roque said the President was just being "playful." And then he went on to thank his friend who gave him a new thesaurus on his last birthday.
According to President Duterte, drug dependents were to blame for the country's rice crisis. In a joint statement, Agriculture and NFA officials denied they were drug dependents.
President Duterte joked that recovering drug dependents, whom he described as "mga ulol" (crazed) were to blame for the country's rice crisis because they have started eating again. Recovering drug dependents then expressed alarm when Duterte added, "I will appoint Ozamiz City Police Chief Jovie Espenido to the NFA."
I just noticed there's Duterte, a joke, drug dependent, and ulol in one sentence. Apologies for the redundancy.
In his next speech, the President will try to figure out a way to blame the peso's slump on drug addicts.
Solicitor General Jose Calida has threatened to file a libel complaint against Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV if the senator "doesn't express his sincere apology" for accusing him of stealing his amnesty application documents. Calida insists he is not a thief. Is he being playful too?
Last September 12, President Duterte revealed an alleged plot to oust him on Sept. 21. Nothing happened. This week, the military said there was a plot to bring down Duterte in October (calling it 'Red October') and another in November and one more in December. So far, two "leaders" of the alleged plot to eliminate Duterte are being monitored. They were identified as Buerger and Barrett.
Former senate president Aquilino Pimentel Jr. advised Communications Assistant Sec. Mocha Uson to stop meddling in the government's federalism campaign and go back to showbiz instead. In response, 'showbiz' said, "We already have Robin Padilla. We can only take so much."
Sources told Inquirer Lifestyle editor Lito Zulueta that Mocha Uson would resign from the Presidential Communications Operations Office "anytime soon." Mocha has yet to inform her boss about her decision but she's confident Bongbong Marcos will understand.
Chinese-backed Maldivian President Abdulla Yameen, the tyrannical leader who jailed political rivals on dubious charges lost his re-election bid earlier this week. Yameen appeared on television to concede. He was flanked by his two sons, Baste Yameen and Pulong Yameen.
"A guilty conscience needs no accuser."

"Extraordinary statement by a Head of State (and we have had many this week at the UN): my 'only' sin is #EJK. Translation: my only sin is imposing unthinkable sufferings on 1000s of vulnerable families, emboldening corrupt policing, destroying rule of law."
~Agnes Callamard, United Nations special rapporteur

This little post is in response to a comment made by another of the solar loons that have all-of-a-sudden "discovered" my blog.
More Lies From the Solar Loons.
I've got a solar-loving nut on the line. You've ubndoubtedly seen his comments (and my rebuttals).
Now he's gone and posted a "scathing" response to my attacks on solar energy.
So, I was looking up solar power generation, wondering about costs. I won't even bother talking about how expensive it is to install, never mind how much it costs to maintain. In the process of this, I stumbled over a program being proposed by Consumers Energy (Michigan's electrical provider) whereby if you generate electricity from solar power, you can sell this to the energy company, and the amount is deducted from your bill.
The problem is, the whole thing is a MASSIVE scam perpetrated on the citizens of the State of Michigan.

Joseph A. Bowman was born on October 17, 1917 to John and Ella Bowman who lived in Downingtown, Pennsylvania. Joseph was the seventh of eleven children.Joseph's parents were immigrant from Ireland. Ella's mother was from Ireland, and her mother was originally from Pennsylvania. Joseph's father worked as a track foreman for the railroad.
Joseph graduated from Downingtown High School in 1936. His yearbook write-up stated:
"Joe" "Commercial" "Little man, you have had a busy four years" Athletic Club (1,2,3,4) Letter Club (3)"
Joseph was a member of the St. Josephs Catholic Church, and worked at the Iron Works in Downingtown.
Joseph entered service in the Army on May 12, 1941. After basic training he served with Troop C, 38th Reconnaissance Squad. In a letter on September 15, 1944 Joe wrote "the going was tough".
Sergeant Joseph A. Bowman was killed in action on September 7, 1944. He was posthummously awarded the Silver Star in April, 1945 for his gallantry in action. The citation read, in part:
Sgt. Bowman was second in command of a platoon which was in action near Bure, Belgium and as the platoon approached the town, their advance was halted by an enemy road block. Your son crawled forward to reconnoiter the road block and as he began to remove the enemy mines, which were in the block the enemy opened fire.
At the time as enemy shell hit one of the mines which exploded, killing your son.
The initiative and courage displayed by the enlisted man reflected great credit upon himself and the armed forces.
A mass was held at St Josephs Church on October 2, 1944 by the Reverend Francis M. Fox, pastor of the church. Joseph is buried at St. Joseph's Cemetery.
Five of Joseph's brothers also served during the war: Robert, Phillip, Joseph, Paul, Edwin, and Joseph.
