Imphal, Feb 22 NNN: Non-Congress political parties in Manipur are now "utterly confused" as a scheduled visit of a team of top Election Commission of India (ECI) officials to Manipur got suddenly cancelled. The leaders of the political parties expected the ECI team for declaration of re-poll date for several polling stations, which were reportedly rigged.
"The ECI cancelled the visit of its official team to Manipur without any intimation and this has puzzled all the non-Congress parties of the State," CPI Manipur Pradesh leader Dr M. Nara said while briefing the media after a joint meeting of NCP, CPI, CPI (M), JD (U), Manipur People's Party (MPP), Manipur State Congress Party (MSCP), Naga People's Front (NPF) and All India Trinamool Congress (AITC) here, which was held to discuss various issues relating to widespread cheating during the January 28 Manipur polls.
"All the political parties were officially informed to attend a meeting to be held form 2 pm to 6:30 pm today where ECI observers and the former were supposed to discuss different issues on poll violation, but they (ECI) suddenly cancelled without giving any reason", the irritated CPI leader reiterated.
He said in an angry tone that the office of the State Chief Election Officer (CEO) also declined to detail on the cancellation of the visit and that officials there refused to comment in this regard, saying they have no knowledge about it.
During today's joint meeting, which was chaired by Dr Nara, discussed at length the whole issue on proxy voting in polls to the 10th Manipur Assembly besides the meeting unanimously adopted three resolutions.
It was decided to urge the ECI for invalidation of proxy votes already verified and confirmed in respect of all the polling stations; the ECI should take the political parties in Manipur into confidence to arrive at a consensus and all the Returning Officers (ROs) should be directed to furnish postal ballot accounts, including lists of the postal ballot papers to all the candidates and political parties on or before February 25. The meeting also authorized DR Nara, chairman to submit a memorandum along with the copies of the said resolutions to the ECI.

Language and Speakers
Manipuri Language, the mother tongue of the Meiteis, is one of the most dynamic languages,… more »
Manipuri Language, the mother tongue of the Meiteis, is one of the most dynamic languages, ever evolving with the passage of time and change. Like its speakers, the language also went through the rigorous process of ethnic amalgamation and cultural assimilation which continued till late 18th century. According to the ancient records, seven major clans with established principalities struggled for power and supremacy in the fertile Manipur valley, for many centuries. The Mangangs otherwise known as Ningthoujas emerged victorious in the first century A.D. And they began forging a larger and composite Meitei identity through a long and complex historical process. Many tribal elements from the hills and many streams of migrating people naturally became a part of the cultural melting pot. Non-Mongoloid peoples from the Indian subcontinent, mainly Brahmins and Muslims, also started migrating in the 16th century to Manipur. They were subsequently assimilated into a larger Manipuri society. Under the impact of these migrations, a pluralistic society and polity emerged. A closer look into Manipuri language will reveal the essence of a pluralistic society and of an accommodative language, able to absorb foreign words in its vocabulary. In its effort to integrate newer groups into the larger Meitei identity, necessary changes were also incorporated into the Manipuri language. This perhaps explains the vibrancy of Manipuri language. A living and dynamic language has to be necessarily accommodative. English language is one such language. It had been able to withstand the test of time and change, while having the ability to absorb external influences or adhering to requirements of furthering its interests worldwide. As the saying goes, the sun never sets in the British Empire. Despite the entry of many foreign words, it has been able to maintain its distinct identity. This is because of the resilience and accommodative capability of the language.
Manipuri language has also some of these basic traits and characteristics of a dynamic language. Some extremist elements or revivalists object to the inclusion of foreign words in the Manipuri vocabulary. They shout from the rooftops the negative impact of sanskritization of Manipuri culture and language. They seek revival of ancient vocabulary or venture into word coinage, while refusing to understand the dynamics of a living language. On the other hand, there are conservative scholars who were nurtured in 'sanskritized' traditions and culture. They are obsessed with the sanskritized words or words of Bengali origin incorporated into the Manipuri language. A stark example of that is the Manipuri Sahitya Parishad. The Parishad, supposed to be the principal stakeholder in the development of Manipuri language, refuses to extricate itself from its cocoon.
The demand for establishing a separate Directorate of Manipuri Language on International Mother Language Day is justified. However, the development and evolution of a language cannot be left alone to a government department or directorate. Different stakeholders like the Parishad and Manipur University has to be involved in the process. Their commitment and openness is necessary. A lamentation of a Manipuri scholar is that, since the inclusion of Manipuri Language in the Eight Schedule of the Indian Constitution only two things has been implemented by the state. One is the establishment of Language Cell in the Education Directorate and another is the institution of a literary award which carries rupees one lakh. Yet, the question is, what has Manipuri Sahitya Parishad contributed towards development of Manipuri language? It has been consistently receiving yearly grants from the state. What has it done to promote Manipuri language despite instituting literary awards every year? Is it turning into some kind of mutual admiration society instead of pursuing its avowed objectives?

NEW DELHI, Feb 22: Congress may well win in Manipur but their Chief Minister Okram Ibobi Singh, 63, is unlikely to retain his chair. Sonia Gandhi has asked for the bio-data of Y. Erabot Singh, the 73-year-old seniormost minister in Ibobi`s Cabinet. The high command holds Ibobi responsible for ground lost during the threemonth-long blockade in 2011. Ibobi did nothing, even planning a tour of Europe which he later cancelled due to widespread criticism. Erabot became a hero in 2009 when he defied a road blockade and escorted 300 trucks carrying essentials to Imphal without police protection.

Clamour raised over sander wood auction
IMPHAL, Feb 22: Seized red sander wood in the custody of the Range Forest Office,… more »
IMPHAL, Feb 22: Seized red sander wood in the custody of the Range Forest Office, Tengnoupal worth around Rs 90,75,000 has not been publicly auctioned till date despite a court direction.
This was stated by HK Vaiphei, chairman, Manipur Hill Area Bamboo Entrepreneur Association (MAHABEA) at a press conference held today at Manipur Press Club. He raised fear that the load of red sander wood may have already been sold off on the sly and replaced with ordinary wood.
The red sander wood was allegedly brought into the state from Andhra Pradesh with China as the probable destination. However, the 42 Assam Rifles posted at Pallel in Chandel district, intercepted two trucks smuggling the wood, weighing 3630 kgs in total, on April 4, 2011 and handed over the consignment of red sander wood to the Range Forest Officer, Tengnoupal. While taking up the matter, the CJM, Chandel, issued an order on April 6, 2011 directing the divisional forest officer, Tengnoupal to publicly auction the confiscated wood. Almost a year since, the court order as well as summons has not been complied with, he stated.
In the interest of over 100 entrepreneurs in the state who may require red sander wood for craft and production of furniture, HK Vaiphei petitioned the minister for forest and environment as well as the principal Chief Conservator of Forest to auction the wood at government rates but to no avail. He has demanded that a white paper on the case be furnished by the government. He has also warned that an FIR will be filed and take the matter to court.

From Asem Lalit
MOREH, Feb 22: The inter-ministerial team which reached Myanmar today to participate in a preliminary round talk between the two nations on beginning of Imphal-Mandalay bus services returned empty handed after their Myanmarese counterparts did not turn up.
Apparently, the goof-up happened due to the slackness of ADC, Lumingthang Haokip, who was in charge of the arrangement of the meeting but failed to dispense his responsibilities properly leading to a miscommunication. The Indian team made use of the sudden relaxation in the schedule with an extended shopping session at Tamu.
The team after gathering at Moreh Trade Centre did spend time conducting an inspection of the condition of roadways and bus parking facilities at Tamu. The team was led by S Narendra, joint secretary, ministry of road transport and highways and comprised of DS Poonia, chief secretary, Jayashree Mukherjee, joint secretary DONER ministry, V krishnaswamy, deputy secretary MoRTH, UD Bhargava, director MoRTH, Smriti, under secretary (BSM) MEA, Ranbir Singh, director (BM-II) MHA, Ram Lakhan, under secretary department of commerce, Rajendra Kumar Meena, director revenue, NK Nayak, executive engineer (SG), RO MoRTH, Abhijit Phukon, deputy director, PPP cell economic affairs, Lunminthang Haokip ADC Moreh,Y Ashok Kumar, ASP Moreh police, RK.Sunita, GIS/expert, SLNA, O Dijamani Singh, OSD, commerce and industries, Ak Bowjit Singh.

Withdraw case filed on behalf of ineligible HSLCE candidates: MSF

IMPHAL, Feb 22: The Manipuri Students Federation (MSF) spokesperson and general secretary, Aheibam Boinao has demanded that the court case filed by guardians and principals acting on behalf of the students who have been bared by MSF from appearing in the forthcoming HSLC Examination, 2012 should be withdrawn immediately.
In a press conference today, the spokesperson allegedly identified the main instigator behind their move as N Tomba of Jain Mahavir Higher Secondary School who is also the adviser to a students-guardian body and the All Manipur Recognised Private Schools Welfare Association (AMPSWA). He demanded that Tomba should clarify his stand to the MSF and the public immediately, failing which he will be banned from involvement in any matter related with education. The spokersperson also asked the students-guardians body and AMPSWA to remove Tomba from his positions as adviser immediately.
MSF had imposed restrictions on 4300 students who had been preparing to appear for the this year's HSLC examination in 27 schools located in hill districts by flouting registration norms. The spokesperson declared that 21 teachers and agents who had facilitated the illegal registration of the students have approached the MSF with an assurance that there will be no repetition of the violations. The remaining teachers and agents involved in racket should do the same immediately before the announced deadline, he stated.
It was found that the alleged agents prepared the registration of these students for 8th, 9th and 10th classes right up to the issue of Admit Cards for the HSLC Examination by charging money ranging from Rs. 7,000-10,000 per student. Over and above this, the spokesperson also alleged that the results of such students can be pre-determined by shelling out another Rs. 1,000-3,000 per subject depending on the whether the student chooses to sit for the examination or in absentia.
He appealed to BOSEM not to buckle under any pressure from individuals or organizations on behalf of such students and declared that MSF was ready to the Board should it require any help.
The spokesperson further warned of appropriate action should CBSE schools register students who are already registered under BOSEM.

Centre says it has no plan to take away Election Commission`s poll code powers
NEW DELHI, Feb 21 (IANS): The government Tuesday went out of its way to deny… more »
NEW DELHI, Feb 21 (IANS): The government Tuesday went out of its way to deny reports that its group of ministers on corruption was considering a proposal to take the poll model code of conduct out of the Election Commission`s purview and providing the rules statutory status.
The first government representative to deny the proposal was Law Minister Salman Khurshid, who told reporters that such an agenda was not before the group of ministers.
"To my knowledge, there is no such thing on the agenda. As far as I understand, it was agreed that once the elections are over, there will be an all-party consultation on the issue about electoral reforms which are being pushed by the EC," Khurshid said here.
"I can`t talk about what is on the agenda of the poll reform meeting as we will come to know it once we get closer to that meeting. If the matter is raised by any political party or any leader, then we will take it as and when during the course of meeting," he said.
Khurshid also wondered what the group of ministers on corruption had to do with the code of conduct.
"I am a little bit surprised what (group of ministers on) corruption has to do with the code of conduct. The code of conduct is about a larger area of election procedures and processes. Maybe, it has some connection with governance or corruption, but there is no core link with corruption," he said.
According to the law minister, corruption largely has to do with government decisions and how can they be influenced and manipulated and where there should be clarity or objectivity. That is what the GoM on corruption is looking at, he said.
Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee and Communications Minister Kapil Sibal too echoed the sentiments of Khurshid on the matter.
"It has come up for the first time and there is nothing on the GoM agenda," Mukherjee said, while Sibal said: "I am on the GoM and have not dealt with the issue and that meeting has not taken place and there is no such proposal."
Corporate Affairs Minister M. Veerappa Moily, however, said the UPA government`s decision will be a considered one, as it has always supported the autonomy of the Election Commission.
"Whatever decision is taken, it will be a considered decision. You should know it is the Congress Party and the UPA, which always supports the autonomy of the Election Commission of India," Moily said.

With a chance to seize a 3-1 edge, the Spurs' defense and focus failed them against a locked-in Nuggets team.
The starters are doing their job, now it's time for the bench to do theirs.
The Spurs led early, but the Nuggets took over late as the Spurs couldn't stop them from scoring.
If Denver makes it their mission to stop White from going off again, DeRozan and Aldridge could feast.
A collection of classic cars have been paired with works of art.
The Spurs will look to push Denver to the brink tonight in Game 4 from San Antonio.
It's too soon to crown White as the next Manu, but there are some similarities between the two.
Rounding up some Derrick White articles after his breakout in Game 3.
The ascension of San Antonio's point guard shifts the foundation Spurs vs. Nuggets was assumed to rest on.
Can't win if you go on a team-wide cold streak.
Too hilarious. Wish I'd noticed it in the moment.
So this is a charge now. Ok. I didn't hear that the league had changed the rules, but apparently you can just slide into the path of a player driving and it's a foul on them.
Still a lot of time. Spurs have to make a run.
Toward the end of the second quarter, he started talking about the Nuggets as though they were some upstarts. Praising them for just getting back into the game.
These national announcers really love the Nuggets.

Q: can I call a select method from UIResponderStandardEditActions? I'm currently developing a simple text editing app for iPad using UITextView.
I want to select parts of UITextView's text and highlight it with a default blue selection bar.
For example, I wrote this code to select the entire document.
[myTextView select: self]
myTextView.selectedRange = NSMakeRage(0, [textView.text length])

But "select" method is from UIResponderStandardEditActions protocol described as an informal protocol in the Apple documentation.
http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/uikit/reference/UIResponderStandardEditActions_Protocol/UIResponderStandardEditActions.html
I wonder whether it's legal to call this method directly because most text editing apps based on UITextView in AppStore didn't have functionality to select parts of UITextView. So calling methods from UIResponderStandardEditActions seems illegal.
Thanks!

A: If it is in the documentation, you can use it.

(Morrow, GA) January 19, 2016 — TOTO's new Libella Faucet Series offers elegant contemporary design combined with the company's innovative EcoPower self-sustaining hydropower technology, providing reliable high performance in the most demanding commercial environments. Ideal for high-end commercial applications, including hospitality environments and upscale office buildings, the Libella Series features both deck- and wall-mount options, providing design flexibility for architects and interior designers.
Classically modern with a clean, uncomplicated look, the new Libella sensor faucets' timeless styling and flawless performance is always modern and lasting. With their elegant, high-end design statement, they redefine the category of commercial faucets—long thought to be generic, uninspired, and merely institutional.
These ultra high-efficiency faucets feature four configurations. The two deck mount faucets are available with a spout height of 3-1/8 or 3-5/8 inches and a spout reach of 5-1/2 or 6 inches. The wall-mount faucets are available with a spout reach of 7-15/16 inches or 9-1/2 inches.
TOTO has enhanced the exquisite Libella faucets with technological innovations that dramatically enhance their EcoPower technology's effectiveness. The redesigned EcoPower faucet platform eliminates the need for daily use to power the faucets' operation and increases their ease of installation.
To eliminate the need for daily use to recharge the capacitors, TOTO decreased the voltage of EcoPower's micro-sensor from five volts to three, which requires less energy to operate. TOTO's three-volt micro-sensor is positioned just under the spout's hood, increasing its infrared light pulses' accuracy and intuitiveness. Hands must be detected before water is discharged, and the water flow stops immediately once hands are removed. EcoPower faucets discharge only the water that users need, eliminating water waste.
gallons per 10-second cycle, which is 64% below the 0.25 gallons-per-cycle baseline set by the federal government for high-efficiency faucets. However, because the average use-cycle is less than 10 seconds and the water shuts off as soon as hands are removed, these hydropower faucets' estimated water consumption per user is closer to 0.1 gallons per cycle. Users will enjoy EcoPower's quick, effective rinse.
Replacing sensor faucets' disposable batteries costs time and money—and generates hazardous battery waste, which is harmful to the environment. TOTO's new Libella EcoPower faucets' store their self-generated electrical energy in a series of capacitors, eliminating the need for disposable battery replacement, which helps reduce toxic battery waste.
TOTO's Libella EcoPower faucets require only one controller for both single supply and thermal supply models, making installation a breeze. Their smart-sensor technology automatically optimizes the sensor's detection range to the lavatory on which they are installed. They do not require manual adjustment when a new lavatory is installed. They operate effectively with any style, size or shape of lavatory—mirror finish, irregular shapes, or small units. They will not erroneously detect foreign objects (such as paper towels) for hands and release water.
in which they are installed by returning lower water and energy bills.
Journalist's Note: As with all TOTO products, high-resolution digital photographs of the Libella EcoPower Faucet Series are immediately upon request.

Future films heads up: Christmas 2014 Paddington movie
Published on Tuesday, 17 June 2014 19:10
Last Updated on 28 August 2014
Just a heads up for a Christmas 2014 movie tipped to be THE big family film of Christmas – Paddington. From the producer of Harry Potter and Gravity and based on the best selling series of books by Michael Bond, as well as featuring an all-star cast (including Hugh Bonneville, Sally Hawkins, Julie Walters, Peter Capaldi, Jim Broadbent and Nicole Kidman with Ben Whishaw as the voice of PADDINGTON) and effects courtesy of award-winning VFX company Framestore, Paddington's big screen adventure based on the best selling series of books paws into UK cinemas on 28th November 2014.
Voted Best Animated Character at the 2012 British Animation Awards, and adapted from Michael Bond's beloved books, Paddington follows the comic misadventures of a polite young bear with an endearing talent for comic chaos.
Paddington has grown up deep in the Peruvian jungle with his Aunt Lucy who, inspired by a chance encounter with an English explorer, has raised her nephew to dream of an exciting life in London. When an earthquake destroys their home, Aunt Lucy decides to smuggle her young nephew on board a boat bound for England, in search of a better life. Arriving alone at Paddington Station, Paddington soon finds that city life is not all he had imagined – until he meets the kindly Brown family, who find him with a label tied around his neck which reads 'Please look after this bear. Thank you.' They offer him a temporary home whilst he searches for the explorer who impressed Aunt Lucy all those years before.
But when Paddington catches the eye of a sinister, seductive taxidermist, it isn't long before his home – and very existence – is under threat …

My role is to perform audit testing on areas I am assigned on, which will be discussed with my in charge from the job. These areas are known as FSLIs (Financial statement line items) which are PPE, Cash, Operating Expenses, Cost of sales and etc. Day to Day role involves discussing with the client in order to understand their procedures to complete the testing.
I have learnt and improved my communication skills from working at PwC, by constantly interacting with the clients, and my colleagues to understand the client's business and the work I am assigned in the job and get it completed within the set deadline. I also managed to improve my knowledge on accounting and audit which I have learnt from university because of the practical experience I have gained from the placement.
So far I have enjoyed this programme very much. I am currently a third year Flying Start student at Reading University and have completed 2 placement period both 3 month each. I have gained a lot of exposure in accounting and audit from working at PwC and I was able to utilise what I have learnt at university.
The Flying start programme is very well organised and structured. The first year is full time studying at University, therefore gives you opportunity to gain the full university life experience, by having time to join clubs and societies. From 2nd year onwards in when the placement starts from 2nd of January to end of March or first week of April.
The support I have received from my employer is very good. During my placement at PwC, we will all be assigned with a People Manager who will be there to support us through out the placement if we have any difficulties during working. In each job we will also have an incharge someone more senior to guide us.
The support I receive from my training provider when working towards my qualification is very good. In each client job I will have an incharge who will supervise me and coach me on how to perform the work I am assigned at. Whenever I have a query or have difficulty in understanding my work my incharge will always be available to help me understand and improve my knowledge.
The coaching I received from my in charge at client job is very good. It helps me understand the how to perform the work I am assigned with and helps me understand the purpose of the testing I am performing, which helps me with my personal development. This also helps me perform similar work in future without any assistance.
Yes there are extra curricular activities to get involved in at my work. Every thursdays there is football sessions after work and every wednesday there is badminton sessions. This provides a good opportunity to meet and network with colleagues you have never work with before and also stay fit by exercising.
PwC is a great place to learn constantly, where its improving your knowledge in accounting and audit or understanding many different types of clients business in different industries. PwC is also one of the big 4 firms with KPMG, EY and Deloitte, therefore they have many different clients in different industries .
If you are applying for audit role, I would advise you to do some independent online research on what audit is, to gain an initial understanding of the role you are applying. I would also suggest you to go to their career events to network with the current employees at PwC.


Last night's MTV Video Music Awards brought the usual share of highs and lows, including on the red carpet, where Beyoncé sizzled, Nicki Minaj perplexed, and Lady Gaga showed up as a dude. As pop stars looked to Tokyo for inspiration, the evening's theme seemed to be Lost In Translation — quite literally in a few remarkable cases, where context and explanations fail entirely. Here's a look at what we loved, loathed, and couldn't quite figure out.

Q: Docker Cannot Run CURL or WGET Commands To Localhost I have an issue I discovered while trying to try PHPUnit tests with CURL commands. I always get:

We fixed everything! Or, almost. Not quite everything on our checklist is complete but all of the "show stopping" bugs have been ironed out.
Our main focus was the motors stopping mid-reverse at full power after only 2 seconds.
This was resolved by upgrading the OpenROV BeagleBone software to 2.5.1-rc3. The bug linked below describes the issue we've been fighting for way too long now.
After flashing new software to the device, we noticed that two of the ESCs were acting erratic. With our new programming card, we were able to very quickly identify and correct the lost programming settings on the ESCs. Programming these Hobbywing ESCs by hand used to be a huge pain, waiting for the beeps of the menu repeating over and over again.
Now we can fix each ESC visually.
Re-calibration was also necessary because some motors didn't spin at the same speeds. We don't fully understand this one yet and are hopeful that it isn't necessary with each re-programming as it is a bit tedious.
So, if next time we power up the ROV and it doesn't work right, we'll try re-calibrating after a re-program of the ESCs.
A test dive is in order. And then, maybe a real one. WOOHOOO!

Kit, thanks for posting the link.
I thought this was an old study. About six years ago we were briefed the same information that this study reveals by the SERE psychologist when we completed the SERE course. While I drove in to work this morning, I observed several groups of Soldiers going through Special Forces Assessment and Selection (SFAS), as I had eight years ago. I think that the stressful situations that the candidate is placed in require the ability to "bounce back" quickly in order to secure success. Assuming that the candidate not only has the mental and emotional, but also the physical attributes to be selected for further Special Forces training, then it is only logical that the vast majority of Special Forces operators will exhibit this ability later on.
In fact, in my first firefight a few years ago, what impressed me the most was that after having lost four men at the onset of an IED-initiated ambush, not one member of the team panicked. Honestly, the guys quickly assessed the situation began to engage targets as if it was just another day at the live-fire range.
I think you hit the nail on the head as far as demanding and dynamic, realistic training forging and honing what are already pre-existing characteristics.
And I do think it is a major factor in being able to perform under fire and not be overcome by events even when you don't have a lot of experience. At least it was for me.
Demanding and realistic training are the key. A valuable lesson for martial artists who might be nervous about getting into their first real fight - if you have pushed your body and mind in realistic training, you will have an edge if you are able to implement that training in the real thing.
I am reminded of a shooting a fellow officer/SWAT member had a few years back. The officer was a former Ranger with some combat experience, but nothing like what the guys today are getting. Long story short, bank robber, takes a hostage to drive him away, gets spike stripped and stuck in a busy intersection. Robber repeatedly waves and points his gun at the growing contingent of surrounding police officers who continue to challenge him.
This officer arrives, deploys his rifle, sees what is happening, and shoots the suspect, all in about a 12 second time frame. The end result was multiple officers questioning themselves as to why they didn't shoot, and one guy saying "It was just like training."

Appropos Same Subject
From Calibre Press - describing new directions in lethal threat performance training. Empahsis mine, to underscore some important areas:
1) Physical Conditioning - the higher level of threat you are preparing for, the higher level physical conditioning you should be doing.
2) Competitive Mindset: Time and Goal competitive, and unwillingness to "lose," especially when the reward for winning is staying alive.
3) Breath Control: Breath keeps physiologic response under control and ties the mind and body together.
4) Focus and Visualization: The above three in conjuction will help in calling forth positive emotion (i.e. specific to the combative situation, outwardly focussed on the task at hand, flexible and adaptable to changing dynamics, controlled aggression, and "righteous indignation" versus inwardly focussed, task fixated (especially when things go south...), and unable to process the physiological and psychological stimuli of the event.
Visualizing one's own positive and dominating performance, visualizing one's "doing things right," visualizing one's effective recovery when things go bad under duress (injury, loss of or incapacitation of weapon, sudden change in situation to higher threat with positive response) is key to "front loading" response - ability under such circumstances.
I for one don't think we have to look far to see that many of these factors were addressed in warrior traditions throughout time, just within a different cultural framework.
Heart rate variability and police performance: The next evolution in training?
By: Michael J. Asken, Ph.D.
Officer Kathy Vonk
Tricia Sterland, MS, CSCS
Some time ago, Siddle (1995) raised awareness of the relationship of heart rate to the quality of a police officer's response and performance, proposing that performance degrades as heart rate increases beyond certain levels.
Grossman (2004) then popularized useful "condition" categories for various heart rate levels and emotional arousal from Colonel Jeff Cooper, Dave Smith and Chuck Remsberg, which are now well known as ranging from condition white through conditions yellow and red to condition black.
A further development was the realization that these relationships were not as consistent as first thought; and that experience, training and other factors could allow officers and operators to perform at high levels despite increased heart rates. There is now a likely new evolution developing from the expanding research that suggests that, more than heart rate, heart rate variability (HRV) may be an important factor in effective performance during high stress situations.
In its simplest form, heart rate variability (HRV) refers to variations in time (measured in milliseconds) between an individual's heartbeats. Where the time between beats is very consistent, this is low variability; and where there is much variation or inconsistency in time between heart beats, this is high variability. A growing amount of research suggests that high HRV is a good thing and related to improved health and performance (Moss et al., 2008).
HRV is seen as an indicator of the degree of reactivity of a person's autonomic nervous system. It represents the relationship between the sympathetic nervous system (which activates during stressful situations) and the parasympathetic nervous system (which counteracts this). The condition of heart rate variability where the total variability is the greatest is called resonant frequency and it represents the optimal state for each person's health and performance.
A related approach uses the term coherence for that ideal state where heart rate variability and heart rate pattern are ideal for sympathetic-parasympathetic balance and harmonious function of the body's physiological systems for maximal health and performance. (McCraty & Tomasino, 2004).
The research on the effect of HRV on health and performance was pioneered by a Russian physiologist Evgeny Vaschillo in the 1970s. Using experience from the Russian space program, he found that HRV was related to health and illness. HRV has been associated with conditions like asthma, diabetic neuropathy, congestive heart failure, sudden cardiac death and was also predictive of death after a heart attack. Training that taught people to increase HRV was reported to be associated with improvement in various illnesses (Moss et al., 2008). Given the significant nature of heart disease for all individuals, and especially police officers (Vonk, 2008), these findings are of great interest.
Of equal importance is the growing understanding of the relationship of HRV to quality of performance, especially in high stress situations. Vonk (2004) may have been the first to review and expand on the nature and importance of the aforementioned work on heart rate and police performance. She emphasized the difference between physically elevated and emotionally elevated heart rates, the relationship of heart rate (especially "spikes" in the heart rate) to quality of performance, and described the potential role of HRV.
HRV has been found to decrease (suggesting stress) in physiologically untrained pilots during takeoff and landings. The same was found true for broadcasters when "on air." Dutch bus drivers (described as a stressful occupation) with low HRV showed greater rates of absenteeism on the job. Emergency room physicians demonstrated HRV changes suggestive of stress before and during their ER shifts (Adams, et al., 1998). Differences in HRV, but not plain heart rate, were found in surgeons performing a new procedure compared to one with which they were well-practiced (Bohm et al., 2001).
High resting HRV was related to better quality of cognitive performance in sailors in stressful situations (Hansen, et al., 2008). Low resting HRV was associated (Melzig, et al., 2008) with greater startle responses (although this was in patients with panic disorder, so we need more studies to see if this is also true for police officers and other high level performers). Because self-regulation (self-control) and autonomic regulation colocalize in regions of the brain, it was predicted that they would be related. In fact, research (Segerstrom & Nes, 2007) showed that higher HRV was related to greater persistence on a difficult task and also to greater self-restraint.
Police officer and trainer Lou Ann Hamblin (2009) raises the interesting potential relationship of HRV to respiratory pauses used by snipers and elite marksmen. She notes that such precision shooters understand that it is the respiratory pause that is optimal for the shot. They know that this is when the amount of movement they impart on the weapon system is minimal; not solely due to the rise and fall of the chest cavity (and associated peripheral movement) but also due to the heart beating more slowly (fast heart rates limit the amount of heart rate variability that can occur).
Mastering control of HRV has been used to train athletes to readily enter the competitive mindset and peak performance state. HRV training is seen as maximizing performance by managing performance-related tension/anxiety, reducing mental "noise" and distracted focus, and stabilizing and optimizing nervous system and physiological system functioning (McCraty & Tomasino, 2004).
More data for HRV effects in military and police work should be available soon. Spierer & Sterland (2009) will be conducting innovative research on HRV and performance with bomb technicians. According to Dr. Terry Wollert (2009) at The Federal Law Enforcement Training Center, research from programs there has already found a relationship between heart rate responsivity and quality of performance in various stress scenarios. Planned research will use sophisticated monitoring technology to look at HRV and quality of performance as part of its commitment to increasing awareness of the effects of stress on performance as part of enhancing training for survival of officers and agents.
An important question is how we can learn to control HRV. Two of the most effective techniques reflect what we already know about optimizing performance under stress. Exercise and physical conditioning have been shown to increase HRV (Montgomery & Wishey, 2008). Breathing techniques, specifically diaphragmatic breathing at a rate of five to seven breaths per minute, can also lead to optimal HRV (Moss et al., 2008).
Other specially developed training programs, which focus on calling forth and concentrating on positive emotions, have been shown to affect HRV (McCraty et al., 1998; McCraty & Tomasino, 2004). Music has shown to affect HRV, but the best effects are found from music that has been specially "designed" by HRV researchers (McCraty, 1999).
The area of HRV and its training seems to hold much promise for both the health and performance of police officers. However, many questions still remain. The relationship of HRV to performance, specifically in police officers, needs to be further documented. How consistently HRV relates to performance remains a question (military research by Morgan and colleagues, 2007, on SERE training found a relationship between HRV and performance but somewhat different than expected). How effective HRV training really is – can it work in lethal force and other high police stress situations – and how long training effects last is still not known.
How do we, and can we, define optimal HRV for given officers are questions that need more research. We also need to find out how police officers can more readily become aware of stress and HRV and use control strategies. Finally, more information on relationship between HRV and performance in physically stressful versus emotionally stressful situations is needed.
Despite these questions, research on and integration of heart rate monitoring and HRV into police training seems to have potentially significant benefits as was suggested by Vonk (2004). Domyancic & Sterland (2008) have used cardiac monitoring during police scenario training to demonstrate differences between officers and situations in responses to high stress. They note that high "spikes" in heart rate may be the result of poor physical conditioning, stress/anxiety from lack of comfort/competence with particular skills, lack of experience with particular skills in high stress conditions or a combination of all of these factors.
While a compendium of currently available techniques for training mental toughness in high stress situations exists (Asken, 2005), as does an excellent guide to safely and effectively maximizing the impact of reality based training (Murray, 2004), HRV training may be the next evolution in training maximal response in police officers.

The two articles are almost contradictory, the Newsweek one advocates a low HRV as being optimum for high-stress close combat encounters, whereas the second one claims high HRV is better as it comes with improved health and athletic ability.
I can't quite see how this can be reconciled. You can train to increase your HRV, but can you train to lower it? Is control over it the optimum goal, make it low when required, push it up at other times? Is it purely in the realm of elite SF's or can the average person who rarely finds themselves in high-stress conflict benefit from knowledge or training in this area?
Recently I have been looking into pain response and martail arts locks and why some people feel locks more than others (there are many reasons even excluding external influences such as drugs, etc) and Low HRV may also have a bearing through the release of neuropeptide Y in the brain.
Physiology is a real pandora's box, the deeper you look the more you uncover and the more confusing it gets!

I think the upshot is the jury is still out, but research is uncovering what might be some interesting things:
However, many questions still remain. The relationship of HRV to performance, specifically in police officers, needs to be further documented. How consistently HRV relates to performance remains a question (military research by Morgan and colleagues, 2007, on SERE training found a relationship between HRV and performance but somewhat different than expected). How effective HRV training really is – can it work in lethal force and other high police stress situations – and how long training effects last is still not known.
You will note that the researcher in the Newsweek article is Andy Morgan...
Force Science research is showing that "average" people can benefit from increasing exposure to high stress training. Average police officers have been shown to improve use of force decision making when such training is realistic, regularly performed, and is continually changed in order to maintain its newness for trainees involved.
I have seen this with "average" (i.e. non-tactical) officers during things like active shooter training, especially when they are given specific stress inoculation drills prior to more complex scenario based training, both involving force on force.

Neil, I am guessing there is not much relevancy to "train to increase HRV" and "train to lower it." HRV is a measurable side-effect, not the goal to shoot for. The training path is already established and proven; stick to that, and let the docs argue about their measurements.

John Cheesman (born ca 1598, died by 1665) was an English merchant and politician that settled in Virginia in the 1620s. Like many from this period in time, Cheesman's surname was spelled in multiple different fashions, which included "Chisman" and "Cheaseman", and "Cheasman". During his time in Virginia Cheeseman served on the Virginia House of Burgesses and the Governor's council.

Little is known about Cheeseman's early life but it is believed that he was born around 1598, in England. He traveled to Virginia in 1621 and settled in what eventually became Elizabeth City County, Virginia. Historical records show that Cheeseman was likely the same John Cheeseman that married Anne Willett in 1616 and it is known that he took a wife named Margaret, with whom they had at least one child.

While in Virginia Cheeseman acquired multiple acres of land and built a plantation. He was appointed a county justice and was made a captain of the militia. By April 1652 he was appointed lieutenant colonel. Cheeseman was also appointed to the House of Burgesses and was present at the first meeting that the burgesses and Council members met separately on March 2, 1643.

Cheeseman eventually returned to England, where he and his wife lived in Surrey. His exact date of death is unknown, but Cheeseman wrote a new will in December 1663 and on May 2, 1665 his will was proved valid in the prerogative court of Canterbury.

You should already be aware that the use of supplements can present a risk to athletes and may result in a positive drugs test.
Although there is no clear definition, dietary supplements are products used alongside a normal diet to improve general health and wellbeing or enhance sporting performance.
They can include sports drinks or vitamin tablets, which claim to help with building muscle, increasing endurance, weight gain or loss, improving suppleness, rehydrating, aiding recovery or overcoming a mineral deficiency. Dietary supplements can be found in pill, tablet, capsule, powder or liquid form.
Why are they such a high risk?
Production of some supplements has low quality control, which means that there is a chance of contamination with other products that may be banned substances.
You will no doubt have seen athletes taking supplements or well-known athletes endorsing them in advertising campaigns. You need to check all products for yourself and know the risks you may be taking.
UK Anti-Doping's advice is that diet, lifestyle and training should all be optimised before considering supplements. Athletes should assess the need for supplements by consulting an accredited sports dietician, registered nutritionist with expertise in sports nutrition, or a sports and exercise medicine doctor, before taking supplements.
If an athlete makes the decision to use supplements, they should assess the associated risks and make informed decisions about the products they opt to use. Supplements may claim to be drug-free or safe for drug-tested athletes but it is not possible to guarantee that specific supplements will be free of prohibited substances.
Remember strict liability - if you use a supplement, test positive for a banned substance and it turns out the banned substance was in the supplement but wasn't on the label, you will face the same penalties as someone who deliberately took the banned substance.
In the UK, HFL Sports Science has created a risk minimisation scheme called Informed Sport. This is a supplement testing and certification programme which aims to assure athletes that products carrying the Informed Sport mark have been regularly tested for prohibited substances and manufactured to strict standards.
It is not possible to provide a 100 per cent guarantee that any supplement is totally free of contamination. Informed Sport is only a risk minimisation programme. However, if an athlete has made a decision to use a supplement, it is better to be taking one that has been subjected to credible testing and appropriate manufacturing controls.

'Ted Lasso's' Jason Sudeikis Hails 'Historic' Adderall-Fueled 'Saturday Night Live'
"Saturday Night Live" alum and "Ted Lasso" Emmy-winning actor Jason Sudeikis honored the program and poked fun at himself in his opening monologue on "SNL" in his first gig as guest host.
"For those of you who don't know, I worked here at 'SNL' for 10 years — an 'actor's dozen,' we say — and it's so neat to be a small part of this show's amazing history," Sudeikis said.
It's a "history that was fueled for its first 25 years by cocaine and adrenaline, its next 15 years by Starbucks and unhealthy comparisons, and the last six years by Adderall and fear," he said.
Recently, Sudeikis has been working on "Ted Lasso," an Apple TV+ comedy series he co-created, writes and stars in, as a lovable U.S. football coach who heads overseas to coach British soccer.
It "somehow became a hit," noted Sudeikis, who won Emmys this year for both Outstanding Comedy Series and Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series. "I mean, it's truly shocking to me because it's built around two things Americans hate: soccer and kindness."
Sudeikis said it was fun to come back as the "veteran." Different folks "ask me for advice, like, 'I love working here, but what should I do next?' or 'How do I get [producer] Lorne [Michaels] to notice me?'" he said.
"And honestly, honestly, swear to God, I found myself just giving the same advice to every single person," Sudeikis quipped. "I was just like, you know, 'Win an Emmy! And if you can, win two!' You know, double up. That's the best way to do it. It sets you up for success."
Sudeikis hailed the "historic" "Saturday Night Live" with its lineups of comedy and musical greats. "This place," he said, "changed my life, twice: Once as a cast member, as a writer here. But most importantly as a kid watching from home."

Francis Marion University's award-winning student newspaper
Harding returns from sabbatical in Germany
Nicole Guest, Staff Writer
Professor of German and Coordinator of Modern Languages Dr. George Harding has recently returned from a sabbatical in Kaiserslautern, Germany after participating for nearly seven weeks in the Atlantic Academy.
The Atlantic Academy is a group that is interested in American culture, politics and business. While in Germany, Harding learned how academies work. There are two types: government (DeLinder) and religious organizations.
Harding explained that he served as the liaison between South Carolina and Germany as the unofficial representative.
He added that Germany is one of the major investors in South Carolina the presence of the BMW plant in Greer, South Carolina as an example.
He travelled to several German high schools and taught programs from two to four hours about South Carolina history, geography and southern culture.
Harding also worked with the German American library by finding outdated material and culling books that are not as helpful to studies as others.
He presented at a conference marking the 150 anniversary of the start of the Civil War. According to Harding a participant represented a paper on how the civil war is remembered by the South and South Carolinians.
Harding said that the Trans-Atlantic partners and the Atlantic Academy have a strong connection to South Carolina in Koblenz Laundau University.
Such programs and the study abroad program are diverse options, according to Harding. He said that the students selected include a freshman, sophomore, junior and a senior.
Harding added that students can receive three credit hours for participating in a short or long term study abroad program and that the price is an estimated $3,000.
Harding thanked President Carter for making the international program a much better one.
"President Carter significantly expanded a modest international program into a very robust international program," Harding said.
Harding explained that such programs help students experience the world.
"In '66, I went as a student one summer to Switzerland on a high school program. Those six weeks really opened my eyes to the world," Harding said.
When he was a senior he went to Germany for the first time. He returned with his parents to see his brother who was stationed there during Vietnam.
He mentioned that he lived in a lot of southern states, but had never ventured out into foreign countries before then. Harding explained what people learn when they experience a foreign country.
"They have a different perspective and appreciate different perspectives," Harding said. "I never had a single student who said 'that was a waste of time, energy or money. I'll never do that again.'"
According to Harding, students often study abroad more than once. He added that it looks good on a resume if a student has studied, travelled or lived short or long term in a foreign country.
Junior John Guest, majoring in Spanish with a minor in German, explained that although he does not have the time in his schedule to study abroad, he believes it is a great opportunity (the German program in specific) and has lived in Europe.
"It's a great way to learn the German language first hand," Guest said. "You learn the culture first hand. You get to see the nice sights and enjoy the festivities."
Harding said that a foreign language major is good for teaching, but has also helped previous students get jobs with banks and the military.
On the subject of teaching, Guest described Harding as a good professor.
"Dr. Harding really knows how to teach the class," Guest said. He keeps it very entertaining; he has a great sense of humor and he's never boring; He explains thoroughly why one word translates into another word."
