Le teochew (Pe̍h-ōe-jī romanisation: Tiê-chiu-uē; romanisation peng'im : Dio-ziu-uê; chinois : 潮州話 ; mandarin (pinyin) : Cháozhōuhuà ; également : teochiu, tiociu, diojiu'ue, chiuchow, chaozhouhua) est un dialecte minnan, parlé à l'extrême Est de la province de Guangdong, dans la région de Chaoshan.

Histoire et géographie
Le teochew moderne provient de l'évolution du minnan ancien. Entre les  et s, un groupe de population parlant le minnan (閩南/闽南) migra vers le Sud de Fujian, sur la partie littorale de l'Est de la province du Guangdong (廣東省/广东省), connue aujourd'hui sous le nom de Chaoshan (潮汕). On suppose que la cause de cette émigration fut un problème de surpopulation du Fujian.

Du fait de l'isolement géographique de la région, de l'influence linguistique du cantonais puis du hakka, la langue se transforma et le dialecte teochew naquit.

Chaoshan fut l'un des principaux foyers d'émigration vers l'Asie du Sud-Est entre le  et le . C'est ainsi qu'en Thaïlande et au Cambodge, le teochew est devenu la langue chinoise majoritairement parlée. Ce déplacement de population explique, en partie, pourquoi le groupe min est actuellement l'un des groupes ayant le plus grand nombre de locuteurs, et que le teochew soit parlé dans de si nombreuses régions en dehors de Chaoshan.

Le teochew est également parlé par quelques minorités significatives à Hong Kong, au Viêt Nam, en Malaisie, à Singapour et en Indonésie. On trouve aussi des locuteurs en Australie, en Nouvelle-Zélande, en Amérique du Nord et en Europe (le quartier chinois du XIII arrondissement de Paris abrite de nombreux locuteurs teochew), moins par émigration directe de Chaoshan que d'Asie du Sud-Est.

Cependant, le teochew perd de sa popularité parmi les locuteurs de langue maternelle. À Singapour, en raison de l'influence des médias et de la culture commune, les jeunes préfèrent parler anglais, mandarin ou hokkien. La langue y demeure néanmoins la langue maternelle la plus parlée, même si le mandarin prend petit à petit ce rôle, étant l'une des 4 langues officielles de l'Etat. Le Teo-Chew y est d'ailleurs plus ou moins déformé, un peu comme l'anglais avec le Singlish, et les "anciens" retrouvent dans les locuteurs venant de l'étranger le "Teo-Chew originel".

Phonologie
Le teochew, comme toutes les langues chinoises, est monosyllabique et tonal, c'est-à-dire que l'unité de son et de sens est la syllabe, à laquelle est associée un ton. De plus, le teochew applique une nasalisation pour certaines de ses rimes.

Syllabe
Les syllabes sont constituées de deux manières différentes :
 consonne initiale (attaque) + rime
 rime seule

Il y a 17 consonnes initiales différentes (声母/聲母). Voici un tableau classant ces sons par type, représentés par la prononciation API :

Les initiales [ts-], [tsh-] et [dz-] sont prononcées [c-] [ch-] et [ɟ-] par certains locuteurs.

Les rimes (韵母/韻母) sont toutes composées d'une médiane (ou semi-voyelle) et/ou d'un noyau, parfois suivi(e)(s) d'un coda. Voici donc comment se présente le tableau des rimes :

Le teochew a préservé beaucoup d'occlusives finales perdues en mandarin que sont les bilabiales -b et -m, la vélaire -g et le coup de glotte -h.

En ce qui concerne les rimes, leur prononciation diffère selon les régions. Pour un locuteur natif, cette différence d'accent est assez importante pour pouvoir distinguer d'où vient l'interlocuteur mais le dialogue reste tout de même possible.
On peut comparer cela à la différence entre le français du Nord de la France, du Sud de la France, des pays d'outre-mer, de certains pays d'Afrique, etc.

Aucun locuteur de la langue n'utilise toutes les rimes du tableau ci-dessus. En effet, le tableau dresse une liste exhaustive des rimes que l'on peut entendre, mais certaines ne sont utilisées que dans certaines régions de Chaoshan, et correspondent à d'autres rimes des autres régions.

Beaucoup de mots sont nasalisés en teochew, c'est-à-dire que la rime de la voyelle est prononcée en faisant passer de l'air dans les fosses nasales. En français, ce phénomène existe également. Par exemple, la nasalisation du son [o] (comme dans lot) est le son [õ] (comme dans son).

Tons
Le teochew comporte huit tons. Contrairement au mandarin, la hauteur de la voix compte ainsi que la mélodie.

Pour les caractériser, on a recours à une palette de sons, graduée de 1 à 5, 1 correspondant au son le plus grave, 5 au son le plus aigu.

Les tons sont alors représentés par deux chiffres : le premier symbolise la hauteur de la voix en début de syllabe et le deuxième en fin de syllabe.
Par exemple, le premier ton correspond à une prononciation aiguë de la syllabe, le deuxième ton à une prononciation allant de l'aigu vers le grave, etc.

Les quatrième et huitième tons sont réservées aux syllabes terminées par les sons [-ʔ], [-p] et [-k]. En effet, leurs fins de syllabe sont des codas consonantiques et ne peuvent pas être associées à une hauteur de voix, c'est pourquoi elles sont notées par un seul chiffre.
Voici la liste des tons en teochew :
 Ton 1 : 33 (陰平 son medium)
 Ton 2 : 52 (陰上 son allant de l'aigu vers le grave)
 Ton 3 : 12 (陰去 son partant du grave et allant légèrement vers l'aigu)
 Ton 4 : 1 (陰入 son grave non prolongé)
 Ton 5 : 55 (陽平 son aigu)
 Ton 6 : 35 (陽上 son allant du medium vers l'aigu)
 Ton 7 : 11 (陽去 son grave)
 Ton 8 : 5 (陽入 son aigu non prolongé)

Ces tons sont sujets au sandhi tonal, ce qui veut dire qu'ils changent s'ils sont suivis d'une autre syllabe dans certaines configurations. Ces changements suivent les règles ci-dessous :
 Ton 1 ⇒ Ton 1
 Ton 2 ⇒ Ton 6
 Ton 3 ⇒ Ton 2 ou ton 5
 Ton 4 ⇒ Ton 8
 Ton 5 ⇒ Ton 7
 Ton 6 ⇒ Ton 7
 Ton 7 ⇒ Ton 7
 Ton 8 ⇒ Ton 4

Prenons un exemple : le chiffre un « 蜀 » (zek8 [tsεk]) est du huitième ton alors que dans le mot cent « 蜀百 » (zek4-beh7 [tsεkpεʔ]), « 蜀 » est suivi d'une autre syllabe (百), le ton change donc au quatrième ton.

Romanisation

Le programme de romanisation du teo-chew (州話拼音方案), aussi appelé Peng'im (拼音), créé en septembre 1960 par le Département de l'Éducation de la province de Guangdong, est le système de romanisation dédié au teochew. Le standard suivi pour son élaboration fut la prononciation de la préfecture de Shantou (汕頭/汕头 suan1tao5). Ce système transcrit les sons de la langue par l'alphabet latin et les tons par des chiffres mis en exposant.

Vocabulaire
Comme toutes les autres langues chinoises, le vocabulaire du teochew provient essentiellement du chinois médiéval, lui-même issu du chinois archaïque. L'origine de la majorité des mots est donc la même que celle des autres langues chinoises ; cependant, un nombre non négligeable de termes en teochew diffèrent avec certains de ces dialectes.

Par exemple, en teochew, le mot « œil » se prononce mag [mak], et s'écrit 目. En mandarin, on préfèrera dire yanjing [jεnʨiŋ], qui s'écrit 眼睛, bien que le caractère 目 mu existe dans cette langue et signifie la même chose, il est seulement beaucoup moins employé.

Les caractères composant le mot 眼睛 possèdent tous deux le radical de l'œil 目.

Grammaire
La grammaire du teochew est assez similaire à celles des langues minnan et du cantonais, en raison de leurs influences antérieures.

Pour les formes actives, la structure de phrase SVO (Sujet-Verbe-Objet) est très utilisée, ainsi que la structure SOV (cette dernière sert plutôt à mettre en valeur l'objet).

Étant une langue isolante, il n'existe ni déclinaison ni conjugaison, les mots sont invariables.

Pour l'emploi des adjectifs, ils peuvent uniquement être antéposés par rapport au nom (exemple : 紅車 ang5cia1 une rouge voiture). Les formes adjectivales post-posées sont en vérité des formes attributives (exemple : 這個花園雅 zi²gai5huê1heng5ngia² ce jardin (est) joli). On peut très souvent voir apparaître à l'oral, dans ce cas, une forme propre au teochew qui repose sur le redoublement de l'adjectif, et dont l'effet recherché est une insistance sur la « chose qualifiante », par exemple : avec un effet de gradation, « une souris petite-petite » signifie une souris petite, très petite ; avec un effet d'exclusivité « un chat noir-noir » signifie un chat noir, tout à fait noir, sans obligatoirement intégrer une élévation dans l'intensité de la couleur.

Ce phénomène de redoublement est aussi présent dans des formes adverbiales : « je rentre vite-vite à la maison » ou « je vite-vite rentre (me me teng)» signifie ainsi je viens vite tout à fait vite à la maison ;

et dans les formes verbales :
« il parle pour jouer-jouer,» avec un effet d'atténuation, par plaisanterie légère.
« je vais marcher-marcher (wo ke giagia) » je vais faire un tour, je vais me dégourdir les jambes.
« je mange lent-lent (wo mang mang jia)»

Écriture et orthographe
Le teochew est transcrit à l'aide des caractères chinois.

La quasi-totalité des caractères utilisés se retrouve dans les autres langues mais il existe des caractères créés par le teochew et qui ne sont présents ni dans le jeu de caractères informatiques GBK GB 2312 ni dans l'Unicode.

Si l'on compare au mandarin, certains caractères ne sont pas utilisés en teochew qui en emploie d'autres à la place.
Par exemple, 你 ni (pronom « tu ») en mandarin est inusité en teochew qui utilise 汝 le à la place. De même, l'expression 什麼 shenme (pronom « quoi, que ») devient 乜個 mihgai en teochew.

Home 08/17/15 OCU Named a 'Best in the West' College by Princeton Review
OCU Named a 'Best in the West' College by Princeton Review
Oklahoma City University is one of the best colleges in the West according to The Princeton Review (www.PrincetonReview.com). The well-known education services company lists OCU among its "Best in the West" recommended schools in its 2016 Best Colleges: Region by Region website feature that posted earlier this month.
"We are pleased to be recognized again by The Princeton Review," said OCU President Robert Henry. "Inclusion on this list reflects Oklahoma City University's commitment to providing high quality education and academic rigor."
The feature is accessible at www.princetonreview.com/bestwestcolleges. Only 125 colleges in 15 Western states made the "Best in the West" list for 2016. Collectively, the 649 colleges on The Princeton Review's "regional best" lists constitute about 25 percent of the nation's 2,500 four-year colleges.
In its website profile on OCU, The Princeton Review stated that students describe the college as a "close-knit community" and provides them with the resources to "accomplish as much as possible."
"Undergrads love OCU's size which translates to, 'big enough to have exciting things happen all the time but small enough so you see people you know and don't feel overwhelmed,'" the review added.
"We chose OCUand the other outstanding institutions on this list primarily for their excellent academics," said Robert Franek, The Princeton Review's senior vice president of publishing. "We also gave careful consideration to what students enrolled at the schools reported to us about their campus experiences on our student survey for this project. We designed our 80-question survey to include questions that prospective applicants might ask on a campus visit. Only schools that permit us independently to survey their students are eligible to be considered for our regional 'best' lists, and only schools at which we see a strong level of satisfaction among their enrolled students — whom we consider their customers — make it to our final slate of regional 'best' college selections."
The Princeton Review editors made their selections based on data the company collected from its survey of administrators at several hundred colleges in each region, as well as its staff visits to schools over the years, and the perspectives of college counselors and advisors whose opinions the company solicits.
The Princeton Review survey asks students to rate their colleges on several issues — from the accessibility of their professors to the quality of their science lab facilities — and answer questions about themselves, their fellow students, and their campus life. Comments from surveyed students are quoted in the school profiles on The Princeton Review site.
Some student comments in the OCU profile included "enthusiastic," "ridiculously intelligent" and "incredibly personable" professors. One impressed senior stated: "They are motivating and expect the best out of their students. After we graduate I know we will be supported and helped in any way to find a career."
The Princeton Review also scores the schools on its"Best Colleges: Region by Region" lists in six categories. The scores — which are ratings on a scale of 60 to 99 — appear on the school profiles. They are tallied primarily from institutional data the company obtained from the colleges. Some also factor in student survey data. OCU had strong ratings for having accessible professors [93] and interesting professors [88].
The 125 colleges that The Princeton Review chose for its "Best in the West" 2016 list are located in fifteen states: Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Oregon, Texas, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming. The Princeton Review also designated 225 colleges in the Northeast, 159 in the Midwest, and 140 in the Southeast as best in their locales on the company's "2016 Best Colleges: Region by Region" lists.
The Princeton Review does not rank the 649 colleges, either overall, by region, or in various categories.
The Princeton Review is an education services company known for its tutoring, test-prep courses, books, and other student resources. The company is not affiliated with Princeton University.

Unclear outlook for radical journal as HIV/Aids deniers evoke outrage
Publisher considers Medical Hypotheses' future in light of articles' 'implications'. Zoë Corbyn writes
It has published papers on everything from ejaculation as a treatment for nasal congestion to why modern scientists are so dull, but the future of Medical Hypotheses is hanging in the balance after a host of complaints from high-profile researchers.
The irreverent publication is the only Elsevier journal not to subject its submissions to peer review. Instead, its editor decides what to publish on the basis of how interesting or radical a paper is, and how well expressed the arguments are.
But its future is in doubt after editor-in-chief Bruce Charlton, professor of theoretical medicine at the University of Buckingham, published a paper from a well-known HIV/Aids denier.
The paper, "HIV-Aids hypothesis out of touch with South African Aids - A new perspective", was published online last July. It was written by Peter Duesberg, professor of molecular and cell biology at the University of California, Berkeley, and colleagues.
It argues that there is "as yet no proof that HIV causes Aids" and says the claim that the virus has killed millions is "unconfirmed".
Prominent Aids researchers contacted Elsevier to object to the article and wrote to the US National Library of Medicine requesting that Medical Hypotheses be removed from the Medline citation database - an act that would exclude it from the mainstream scientific-communication network.
Elsevier's response was to retract both Professor Duesberg's paper and another article - "Aids denialism at the ministry of health", by Marco Ruggiero, professor of molecular biology at the University of Florence.
This second paper, also published by Medical Hypotheses last July, argues that the Italian Ministry of Health seemed not to believe that HIV was the "sole cause" of Aids.
In a letter to critic Francoise Barre-Sinoussi, a French virologist who was jointly awarded a Nobel prize for the discovery of HIV, Elsevier says: "We share your concerns about the (Duesberg article) and particularly the implications of its wider dissemination for global healthcare."
The publisher adds that it has started an "internal review" of the processes by which the two articles were published, and is undertaking a larger review of Medical Hypotheses, including its future role in medical and scientific literature.
Professor Charlton this week accused the researchers who complained of taking "behind-the-scenes action" to exclude dissenting views and bring the journal down.
"The coercive and anti-scientific reaction shows exactly why it was right that these papers were accepted to be published," he told Times Higher Education.
He said Elsevier had to decide whether to close the journal altogether or whether to leave it alone, adding that meddling with its unique status would be "unacceptable".
Steve Fuller, professor of sociology at the University of Warwick, said that while peer review worked for "normal science", it also had the power to suppress radical ideas.
"Medical Hypotheses has never hidden what it set out to do, namely to provide a forum for bold scientific ideas that challenge the status quo," he said.
A spokesman for Elsevier said a panel of experts had been convened to review the journal's future, with a conclusion due by the end of the year. "We took this step because we received serious expressions of concern about the impact of the dissemination of these articles on global healthcare," he said.

Cannabis: Legalization, Legislation, & Civil Litigation
By Kat S. Hatziavramidis, Esq.
The potential legalization and regulation of marijuana, whether for medical or recreational purposes, has attracted substantial national attention. Nine states, as well as Washington, D.C., have legalized cannabis for recreational use, and 29 have passed laws that make medical marijuana legal. See id. A 2017 Gallup poll found that 64% of Americans approve of legalization, and many states are considering legislation to take advantage of public sentiments and generate revenue. See, e.g., id. Perhaps what is of greatest interest is that legalization has bipartisan support—Gallup discovered that for the first time, the majority of Republicans approve of making marijuana legal. See Justin McCarthy, "Record-High Support for Legalizing Marijuana Use in the US," Gallup News, Oct. 25, 2017, available at http://news.gallup.com/poll/221018/record-high-support-legalizing-marijuana.aspx?g_source=Politics&g_medium=newsfeed&g_campaign=tiles.
With the levels of approval for legalization at record highs, many analysts have predicted that more states will decriminalize marijuana, approve it for medicinal purposes, or legalize it altogether. See, e.g, id; SeeTrevor Hughes, "Marijuana industry poised for supercharged growth thanks to President Trump," USA Today, Apr. 20, 2018. For those who decide to participate in programs that have legalized cannabis, there are a number of legal pitfalls to avoid. See, e.g., Joshua Cohen, "Avoiding Un/Civil Litigation in Your Cannabis Business," JD Supra, Feb, 7, 2018, available at https://www.jdsupra.com/legalnews/avoiding-un-civil-litigation-in-your-68184/. This article examines an angle that those who operate in or are planning to enter the cannabis industry may overlook: civil litigation that members of the industry may face.
According to one legal analyst, while many marijuana-related businesses are aware of federal and state criminal actions and penalties, they may be less familiar with civil actions that can be brought against them. See id. There are three main types of civil suits that the cannabis industry and attorneys in the field should be aware of, and certain steps can be taken to protect prospective defendants. See id.
(1). Government Actions: Businesses and attorneys who operate within the cannabis community tend to be well-acquainted with possible criminal actions they can face for noncompliance, but "[i]n an interesting twist, some city and county authorities are foregoing criminal actions and bringing civil actions, seeking substantial penalties." Id.In California, for example, the state's Business & Professions Code, as well as the recently-adopted Proposition 64, gives state and local government authorities permission to bring civil actions concerning unfair competition, building code violations, and more. See id.; See California Business & Professions Code, §17200; See Proposition 64. Colorado, which has legalized marijuana for recreational use and has some of the most liberal cannabis policies, has a law similar to California's, whereby "the Attorney General or district attorneys [may] seek civil penalties ($2,000 per violation) under Colorado Consumer Protection Act Section 6-1-112." Joshua Cohen, supra.
In order to avoid their clients being sued and risking hefty fines or other penalties, attorneys involved in the cannabis industry should seek the help of expert witnesses. As consultants, such experts can help decide upon strategies to minimize the possibility of a government suit. They can help businesses understand how to comply with certain regulations, such as ones that require warnings to consumers to be displayed prominently. Experts who can identify planning mechanisms to avoid litigation may include those in the cannabis trade, business and competition specialists, and real estate professionals. The latter category can assist with drawing up leases correctly, responsibility for property, zoning concerns, and more.
(2). Plaintiffs' "Rinse & Repeat" Suits:As one commentator explains, "Now that California has decriminalized recreational cannabis and hundreds of new companies are open for business, these attorneys are targeting these cannabis businesses, alleging that they have failed to provide a Prop 65 warning regarding the health risks associated with smoking, or in some cases, with ingesting cannabis products. We've seen certain law firms filing dozens of identical Prop 65 cases against various cannabis businesses." Id.The types of firms that target the cannabis industry have been compared to "drive by" firms that look for businesses to sue for violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). See id. Such plaintiffs can capitalize on the vulnerability of new enterprises and new legalization measures and hope to catch businesses off guard. See, e.g., id.
Because ignorance of the law is not a defense in this type of civil suit, attorneys with clients in marijuana-related industries must be proactive. Experts in public health, marketing, and related fields can assist parties in determining what warnings need to be issued about particular products. In addition, such experts can provide guidance on what the industry standard should be with respect to labeling, advertising, and selling cannabis to the public.
Moreover, a business that has consulted an attorney and retained experts to advise them on such matters may be less vulnerable if it is, in fact, the subject of litigation. Potential plaintiffs may have much more difficulty prevailing against entities whose legal representatives involved expert witnesses early in the business plan and acted on such advice in an effort to prevent litigation of this sort.
(3). Litigation within the Industry: A number of lawsuits have been brought between members of the cannabis industry for various reasons. In some instances, a competitor may bring suit to gain an advantage. See, e.g., id. For example, "[m]any of the jurisdictions allowing cannabis cultivation or dispensaries have capped the number of permits. As a result, some competitors are filing lawsuits alleging unfair business practices, trade secret misappropriation, trademark infringement or other similar claims, seeking to disqualify competitors or, at a minimum, saddle them with costly litigation and slowing their growth." Id. In cases of this nature, experts in myriad fields may be called upon to provide advice to businesses and help give testimony if litigation arises. Experts in fair competition, intellectual property, and business practices may all play an important role in protecting one entity from another.
Those in the cannabis industry may also deal with litigation because "[c]annabis businesses have vendors/suppliers, customers, and employees, and each of these relationships has the potential for misunderstandings, disputes and ultimately litigation. Many cannabis operators historically ran their businesses on handshake deals." Id. In each of these matters, experts can provide assistance. For instance, consulting with experts in the field and putting agreements in writing may help protect businesses from lawsuits over misunderstandings that can occur with oral contracts. With respect to customers and employees, retaining business operations and employment experts can help prevent a company from being blindsided by litigation over such matters. In any transactions involving more than one party in the same or a related industry, attorneys and experts can assist clients by trying "to anticipate future events and make certain [the clients] understand the implications of the contract language." Id.
Many states have already signified an interest in legalizing marijuana for a limited use, expanding existing statutes to allow for recreational legalization, and liberalizing policies to permit accessible sales and purchases. This trend is likely to continue, and attorneys who practice in this field should prepare for prospective civil suits with the same gravity they give to criminal ones. Expert witnesses play a critical role in this relatively new industry, and those who wish to become involved or who have already entered the market should retain such experts as early as possible. In so doing, cannabis entrepreneurs can create smart business plans that mitigate the risks of litigation and maximize the likelihood of success.


That up-tick on the 17th and then the really sizeable one on the 22nd are due to a few big players making really good use of the service. I want to detail those use-cases here because I'm always getting asked by people how the service is being used. So here it is - including some inside stories - Pwned Passwords in practice!
This week will see the launch of 1Password 7 for Windows so I'll be jumping on that one pretty promptly. I've been told the Pwned Passwords integration will come shortly after launch, but it's available to everyone already via the web version if you just can't wait.
I've actually seen it round to 99% before as well but hey, now I'm splitting hairs! The point is that almost every single request to the service is now hitting one of Cloudflare's 150+ edge nodes around the world and returning the result in what is usually no more than low double-digit milliseconds.
Well it took a bit longer than we thought, but our signup and change password flows are now using the HIBP password API. https://t.co/OEwx4V1wBs is linked to in the validation errors. We'll iterate over time. Happy to hear feedback too!
I love that this isn't just tech headlines either, it's consumer press like Fortune and the Daily Mail (do read the comments on that one, just for fun...) The point is that it gets the concept of how poor passwords are exploited out in front of the masses, and that has the potential to lead to very positive changes in our overall security posture as an online community.
This is a really neat implementation by Okta with the extension simply looking for changes in password fields. I don't mean "simply" in any derogatory form either, there's beauty in the simplicity and that's why they're (quite deservedly) getting such good press.
I wanted to highlight some of the biggest use cases via the organisations listed above, but I also want to acknowledge some of the multitude of others I've seen pop up just in the last week.
And you know the really cool thing about those last 2 tweets? Neither organisation had to lift a finger because that's actually Okta's PassProtect in action. It's such a slick, integrated experience that both Richard and John didn't even realise the respective services hadn't done any work! That's cool.

New police monitoring app offers direct line to ACLU
Nova Safo May 8, 2015
A new app from the ACLU of California promises to allow anyone to record video of officers and have it automatically uploaded to the agency's server.
The app also offers a function to alert other app users nearby if there's an incident with police that someone believes requires more witnesses.
The ACLU of California launched the mobile app for Apple and Android phones last week. The group says it has so far been downloaded 40,000 times, more than a similar app from New York's ACLU, which has been available for several years.
Peter Bibring, senior staff attorney with the ACLU of California, says the app's relative popularity has to do with high profile police use-of-force incidents in recent months that have been caught on phone cameras.
"We've seen…incidents where officers took a cellphone and deleted video, and so this provides some measure of protection against that," he says.
Bibring says this ACLU app isn't the first of its kind, but it's been tweaked to be more specifically geared towards documenting incidents of misconduct. The app allows for longer video recordings than previous versions. It also has a library of information about citizens' rights in documenting police officers in public places. Bibring says the ACLU gets questions regularly about what those rights are.
"It's not a brand new trend, but it's absolutely a growing trend," says Jocelyn Simonson, who teaches law at NYU, and has research that will be published in the California Law Review in early 2016 that looks at the growing trend of citizens' oversight over police in public places.
"Part of what we're seeing is a change in the recognition that filming police officers is an important thing," Simonson says.
But the ACLU's app may be going in the wrong direction, says Christine Cole, executive director of the Crime & Justice Institute at the Boston-based group Community Resources for Justice, a non-partisan think-tank that focuses on social justice issues.
"This tool actually exacerbates the divide and makes it feel like us versus them," Cole says. Nevertheless, she says, police and communities must both learn to deal with increased scrutiny on camera.

I have not been idle since your last letter. Several interesting things have happened as I researched a story about Mark Twain boats.
While doing the research for the story I learned that Gray had been given the first boat ever produced on the Mark Twain assembly line. Now this is not the first boat made in WF, it is the first Mark Twain boat built, which I assume would have been in Hannibal. It probably dates from the early 60\'s and is a small wooden (mahogany I am told) 2 seater, outboard,about 10 -12 feet long. I contacted Gray about seeing this boat and getting a picture of it. Gray (another story in itself) had the boat in his museum. The boat, I might add, was also on display at the MT factory in the lobby. It was parked alongside what ever current model of the year was being produced as sort of a \"then and now\" display.
Gray had a stroke a couple of years ago which partially paralyzed his right arm. For some reason he decided to move the boat and some other things from his museum to a storage barn at Rend Lake. Yesterday, when I had an appointment to see and photograph the boat, Gray learned that the boat is missing. This came as a complete shock to Gray who had not seen the boat since his stroke and assumed that it was safe and sound in storage. The other items from the museum were there, but the boat was not in the barn. If it was ever in the barn, nobody knows. The craft could have been taken before the other items were moved from Gray\'s museum. At any rate, this has turned into a rather \"hot\" story for the Southern Illinoisian newspaper. Nothing has been published yet as we want to get a few more facts. One other thing I forgot to mention. My brother in-law was a professional photographer who did work for some of the Mark Twain catalogs.
I have two unpublished photos of Twain boats.
So do you have plans for these boats? I have a 77 V-Sonic. I would love to review the plans or get a copy if possible.
if it\'s made of wood, I can do it!
Well damn .... I was hoping that in migrating to the new forum package that you would have lost that green text Poppy !!! It\'s pretty difficult to read.
\'85 MT Costa Brava 250. 25\' Cruiser (27\' OAL). Twin Merc 488\'s & Alpha Ones. \"Sea~Renity\"
I changed it for this response, but I don\'t know how to set it up forever. Maybe Clint can help.

Q: Stokes' Theorem Questions There are a couple of things that confuse me with Stokes' Theorem
1) What's the difference between dS and dA and how is it used?
2) What's the difference between $\boldsymbol{\hat{\textbf{k}}}$ and $\boldsymbol{\hat{\textbf{n}}}$ and how is it used?
Thanks

A: $d\mathbf S$ is used to denote $\mathbf n \cdot dS$ where $\mathbf n$ is the orthonormal vector to the surface and $dS$ is element of surface area.
$dA$ is element of area (I refer to differential as element because it's more intuitive).
$\mathbf{\hat{k}}$ is the unit vector $\langle0,0,1\rangle$, and $\mathbf{\hat{n}}$ is the unit vector perpendicular to the surface (there are two of them, you work with the one you need).
Stokes' Theorem reads:
$$\oint_C \mathbf Fd\mathbf r= \iint_S \text{curl}\mathbf F\cdot d\mathbf S=\iint_S \text{curl}\mathbf F\cdot \mathbf n \,dS. \tag{1}$$
If you have a parameterization of the surface $\mathbf T(u,v)$ then it is easy to see that for each point on the surface, there is a normal vector $\mathbf n^*=\mathbf T_u\times\mathbf T_v.$ But $dS=\|\mathbf n^*\|dA$. Note that $dA$ refers to the domain of the transformation (or parameterization) $\mathbf T$. This means that $(1)$ yields
$$\iint_D \text{curl}\mathbf F \cdot \frac{\mathbf n^*}{\|\mathbf n^*\|}\|\mathbf n^*\|\,dA.$$

Léna Roy: Goin' Back to Moab . . .
Goin' Back to Moab . . .
I can't believe it. I actually booked tickets today for a trip that has been so long overdue - waiting for the right time, waiting for money, waiting for the kids to age appropriately, waiting for . . .
An adventure vacation. We'll fly to Denver and rent a car, stopping at Glenwood Springs and then onto Moab, Mesa Verde, Santa Fe, Great Sand Dunes National Park and then back to Denver.
In AUGUST. Yes, where Moab averages 96 degrees during the day!
EDGES is set in August.
I met my husband seventeen years ago in August at The Lazy Lizard Youth Hostel. Our 14th anniversary was last week, April Fool's Day (yeah, that's how we roll) and we started thinking that this could really happen.
I have been quiet on the blog lately, cuz I wonder if anybody really reads blogs anymore. But when I have something to say, I say it. And this is it!
Future blog topics - a few weeks ago I had a come-to-Jesus epiphany about my health and have eliminated sugar, gluten and dairy from my diet. (It's been amazing!) Mother/daughter book club, poetry walks with kids, revision (again), Infinite Jest (yes, I am reading it!) and the Writer Identity.
Oh, and PS . . . if any of you all are out there or will be out there this August, we can try to meet up! Maybe I can try to schedule some readings and/or workshops or something . . .
Can I trade the dry 96 for the soggy/humid 96 I'll have here in August?
How interesting this evening! You will be in beautiful country and mentioned some of my favorite places. Santa Fe...is special. Love the High Country above Santa Fe on the way to Taos. I am happy for you to have this trip in your future.
Gluten Free...working on making that our new plan as well. Hope we feel as good about the results as you seem to!
Blogs...yes, I have been wondering about blogs too since some of my favorites are posting less and I am getting less comments on my own blog--no matter what the topic is.
I started an Episcopal book study this morning of the book Sabbath:Restoring Sacred Rhythm and Rest. I could hot help but think how much your grandmother would have loved and endorsed the material we were discussing!
Hi Bookie! Thank you for the continued reading! Let's check in on the gluten-free stuff in a month or so! I feel grateful to have the cravings lifted, but I know they can come back any day. Friday will be a month!
Hi Laura - where are you going? It's hot here on the East Coast too - I don't think that we can really escape the heat in summer!
People read great blogs (wink, wink). Please keep writing. Can't wait to hear more about your trip. Maybe it will inspire another book?
Great article on Moab and the surrounding area. Raft trips with Adrift Adventures are excellent!!!!! Ride the Colorado River.
How intriguing tonight! You will be in excellent nation and specified some of my most loved spots. Santa Clause Fe...is unique. Adore the High Country above Santa Fe while Research Paper Writers in transit to Taos. I am glad for you to have this excursion in your future. I could hot help however think how much your grandma would have adored and supported the material we were talking about.
