La notion de minorité nationale, également dénommée minorité, est utilisée dans divers documents internationaux, notamment dans la Convention-cadre du Conseil de l'Europe pour la protection des minorités nationales (ouverte à la signature depuis 1995) ainsi que dans la Convention européenne des droits de l'homme. Mais les auteurs de ces textes, pour éviter d'être bloqués par des divergences insurmontables, ont renoncé à fournir une définition du terme, ce qui laisse à chaque État la possibilité de l'interpréter à sa manière.

Tentative de définition
En fait, toutes les tentatives pour formuler une définition unanimement acceptée de la notion se sont soldées par un échec. Il existe toutefois une définition assez largement répandue et qui, malgré son caractère officieux en matière internationale, semble faire autorité. C'est celle qui figure dans la Recommandation 1201 adoptée le  par l'Assemblée parlementaire du Conseil de l'Europe, qui demande aux États membres d'adopter un protocole additionnel à la Convention européenne des droits de l'homme sur les droits des minorités nationales. L'article  de la Proposition de protocole annexée à cette recommandation comportait une définition précise, qui s'inspirait en grande partie de celle proposée en 1979 par le professeur  dans un rapport rédigé au nom de la sous-commission des minorités de l'ONU :

Réuni à Strasbourg le , le Parlement européen a proposé qu'une telle définition soit fondée sur la définition contenue dans la déclaration 1201, reprenant les critères posés par le Conseil de l'Europe. Le texte sur « les normes minimales pour les minorités » adopté le 13 novembre 2018, .

Position de la Belgique
En Belgique la minorité germanophone, comme les populations francophone et néerlandophone, est reconnue officiellement comme l'une des trois « Communautés » constitutives de la Belgique (Communauté française, Communauté flamande et Communauté germanophone), subsidiées par l'État fédéral et compétentes en matière culturelle. La Belgique est formée de régions calquées sur les limites linguistiques, disposant d'un pouvoir législatif (avec un parlement élu par Région) et d'un pouvoir exécutif exercé par les ministres élus parmi les membres du Parlement de chaque Communauté. La communauté germanophone fait entièrement partie de la Région wallonne. Les membres des gouvernements des trois communautés peuvent siéger dans les Gouvernements régionaux.

Position du Canada

Position de la Chine

La République populaire de Chine dénombre officiellement 55 minorités nationales à laquelle s'ajoute la nationalité Han, majoritaire. Certains ethnologues peuvent diviser ou regrouper certaines de ces minorités dont les caractéristiques ont été dénombrées officiellement au début de la République, au milieu du . Certaines subdivisions du territoire, telles que les Régions autonomes, xian autonomes et autres subdivisions dites autonomes accordent des droits particuliers aux minorités. La minorité nationale Han, majoritaire n'a eu le droit qu'à un enfant par foyer entre les années 1980 et les années 2010, au-delà duquel les aides familiales sont coupées et la famille doit payer des pénalités. Les autres minorités ou couples mixtes peuvent avoir plus d'un enfant. Si le Mandarin est la langue officielle et véhiculaire du Pays, les autres langues Han et leurs dialecte (incluant ceux du mandarin), ainsi que les langues des autres minorités nationales sont toujours parlées. Les langues et écritures des minorités sont également toujours apprises à l'école au côté du Mandarin. L'écriture « traditionnelle » mongole est toujours utilisée en Mongolie-Intérieure, par la population et sur les panneaux de signalisation, tandis que la Mongolie extérieure devenue Mongolie, autonome utilise l'écriture cyrillique, même si l'écriture traditionnelle y est de nouveau reconnue. La nationalité est inscrite dans les données de la carte d'identité. Les cinq écritures nationales reconnues sous la dynastie Qing mandchoue (Hanzi, Zang, Ouïghour, Mongol et Mandchou) sont toujours utilisées sur la monnaie. Si toutes les religions ont été interdites pendant la Révolution culturelle dans les années 1970, elles sont de nouveau tolérées et ouvertement et très largement pratiquées que ce soit chez les Hans ou les différentes minorités, depuis l'arrivée au pouvoir de Deng Xiaoping dans les années 1980. Les principales religions sont bouddhisme (majoritairement chan, ainsi que tantrique, principalement au Tibet et en Mongolie intérieure), religions anciennes chinoises (mélange notamment de bouddhisme, de taoïsme et de confucianisme), l'islam plus sporadique sur l'ensemble du territoire, ainsi que nombre important de branches de ces religions ou d'autres religions plus locales. Les différentes cultures font également l'objet de recherches et d'établissement de conservatoires de ces cultures et de leur patrimoine, souvent en collaboration avec l'UNESCO.

Position de la France
La France entretient une relation particulière avec ses minorités linguistiques, culturelles ou confessionnelles, car l'universalisme républicain, affirmé dans sa Constitution, pose le principe de l'égalité devant la loi de tous les citoyens, quelles que soient leurs origines ou appartenances, qui selon ce principe, relèverait seulement de la sphère privée. Comme l'observe le linguiste Jacques Leclerc, la politique française accorde une primauté à l'État et considère que les expressions culturelles minoritaires peuvent souvent s'apparenter à un communautarisme. Toutefois, si la notion de « minorité ethno-linguistique » ou « confessionnelle » n'existe pas en droit français, certaines parties du territoire font, pour des raisons historiques, exception à cette règle : la laïcité n'est pas obligatoire en Alsace-Moselle ; la Corse, en raison de son insularité mais surtout d'intenses luttes notamment menées par le Front de libération nationale corse à partir de 1976, a une autonomie partielle, et en Nouvelle-Calédonie existent des statistiques ethniques officielles.

Position de la Suisse
La Suisse est officiellement une confédération de cantons, qui reconnait les communautés linguistiques et religieuses.

Du point de vue linguistique, par rapport à l'allemand parlé par 63,5 % de la population totale, le français parlé par 22,5 % des Suisses, l'italien par 8,4 %, le romanche par moins de 0,6 %, ainsi que les langues « non-nationales » parlées par 9 % des habitants issus de l'immigration, apparaissent comme des « minorités ». Chaque canton, selon sa propre constitution, a une ou plusieurs « langues nationales » et peut aussi tolérer l'utilisation de langues « non-nationales » ou de l'un des nombreux dialectes suisses allemands ou Schwyzertütsch, lesquels jouissent d'une grande valorisation sociale, y compris dans les centres urbains. 17 cantons sur 26 sont unilingues allemands. Dans le milieu scolaire, afin d'élever le niveau d'allemand des élèves qui généralement préfèrent parler le dialecte, plusieurs cantons alémaniques (dont Zurich, Schwytz, Uri et Zoug) ont imposé l'usage systématique du Hochdeutsch (allemand standard), et les professeurs sont tenus de s'exprimer exclusivement dans cette langue. En effet, il est constaté ces dernières années, à la suite du recensement fédéral de la population de 2000, une progression de l'usage du dialecte dans les écoles alémaniques au détriment de l'allemand.

Le français est parlé dans l'ouest du pays : la « Suisse romande ». Quatre cantons sont unilingues français (Genève, Jura, Neuchâtel et Vaud), trois sont officiellement bilingues français-allemand : Fribourg, Valais et Berne.

L'italien est parlé dans le sud du pays : la « Suisse italienne », comportant canton du Tessin et les quelques vallées italophones du canton des Grisons. L'usage du dialecte tessinois, apparenté aux parlers lombards, y demeure très vivant.

Quant au romanche, il n´est parlé que très minoritairement dans le canton des Grisons qui est ainsi le seul à être officiellement trilingue. Cette langue romane d'usage local, limitée à un seul canton, ne figure pas parmi les « langues officielles » du pays, lesquelles sont l'allemand, le français et l'italien, selon l'alinéa 1 de l'article 70 de la constitution fédérale.

Du point de vue confessionnel, la religion groupant le plus de fidèles en Suisse est le catholicisme, avec presque 39 % de la population selon le recensement fédéral de la population 2010. La deuxième religion est l'Église évangélique réformée, avec 33 % de la population. Généralement, les cantons se réclament de l'une des deux confessions. Les autres religions sont donc minoritaires : L'islam est la troisième religion avec 4,5 % de la population.  à  alévis bektachis vivent en Suisse, la plupart sont d'origine turque. 0,2 % de la population appartiennent aux communautés juives. La proportion des habitants se déclarant sans religion est de 20 %. Il existe également de petites communautés orthodoxes d'origine balkanique, bouddhistes d'origine tibétaine et autres.

Think Vaping Is Heathier for Your Heart Than Smoking? Think Again
MONDAY, Nov. 11, 2019 (HealthDay News) -- Vaping isn't necessarily better for your heart health than smoking tobacco, a pair of new studies argue.
They report that use of e-cigarettes negatively affects risk factors for heart disease in ways similar to traditional tobacco cigarettes:
Levels of bad cholesterol and triglycerides are elevated in people who use e-cigarettes, according to results from the first study.
E-cigarette users also experience a decrease in blood flow to the heart muscle, the second study says.
"People are making the assumption if they switch from cigarettes to e-cigarettes, their risk will be substantially reduced of cardiovascular disease," said Dr. Rose Marie Robertson, deputy chief science and medical officer for the American Heart Association, and co-author of the first study. "That's not necessarily the case."
Both studies are to be presented Monday at the American Heart Association's annual meeting, in Philadelphia. Research presented at meetings is typically considered preliminary.
For the first study, researchers evaluated 476 healthy adults who took no daily heart medications to see how smoking might affect their cholesterol levels.
Of these participants, 285 were tobacco cigarette smokers, 45 were e-cigarette smokers, 52 were "dual users" who smoke and vape, and 94 were nonsmokers.
All tobacco users -- including vapers -- had higher total cholesterol levels, as well as higher levels of triglycerides and "bad" LDL cholesterol, the study found.
Researchers said they found the same sort of cholesterol when they looked only at e-cigarette users.
The second study used advanced ultrasound techniques to track blood flow inside the body, according to lead researcher Dr. Florian Rader. He's co-director of the Clinic for Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy and Aortopathies at Cedar-Sinai Medical Center's Smidt Heart Institute in Los Angeles.
His team tracked the flow of blood to the hearts of 19 young adult smokers immediately before and after vaping or smoking.
Participants were asked to rest while their blood flow was tested, and then to perform a handgrip exercise intended to increase their heart rate, Rader said.
"In healthy individuals, blood flow increases to the heart because the heart's working harder and it needs more oxygen. The body adjusts blood flow and delivers more oxygen to the heart," Rader said. "This increase was blunted and even partially reversed in patients who are habitual e-cigarette smokers."
Researchers added that blood flow to the heart was reduced at rest, even in the absence of stress, after a puff on an e-cigarette.
"It shows that cigarette and e-cigarette smoking seem to be equally bad in causing abnormalities of blood flow to the heart," Rader said.
However, both sets of findings come from "very preliminary studies" that haven't appeared in a peer-reviewed journal, said Dr. Mary Ann McLaughlin, a cardiologist at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City who reviewed the studies.
She noted that the blood flow study involved a "very small sample size," while the cholesterol study couldn't draw a direct cause-and-effect relationship.
"It's an association, but you can't say which is coming first," cholesterol levels or e-cigarette use, McLaughlin said. "I could argue that people with high cholesterol may be more sedentary, may have poorer lifestyle choices, and may be more likely to smoke."
The cholesterol researchers suspect the chemicals inhaled from e-cigarettes could be increasing oxidative stress in the body, said lead researcher Dr. Sana Majid, a postdoctoral fellow in vascular biology at Boston University School of Medicine.
In turn, that increase in stress and inflammation could be altering people's cholesterol levels, Majid said.
Known e-cigarette chemicals also have been shown in the lab to be toxic to endothelial cells that line the inside of blood vessels, said Robertson. That could affect blood vessels' ability to respond to increased demands from the heart.
She said these sort of studies should have been done to test the safety of e-cigarettes long before they ever went on the market.
"It's a little disturbing we're now doing that experiment with the American public, rather than figuring it out before the products are so widely available and so widely used," Robertson said.
The American Heart Association has more about vaping.

The immediate background to the upcoming appointment procedure can be found in the recently concluded (sort of) constitutional saga surrounding the appointment to the SCC of three judges nominated by the Parliament in 2014. For three years, Andrej Kiska, the current President elected in 2014 in a run-off against the Prime Minister, Robert Fico, was resisting to confirm the appointment of the candidates nominated by the Parliament prior to his election. He finally caved in – albeit without accepting the SCC's constitutional interpretation – in December 2017 after the SCC ruled against the President and pointed to a potential violation of the Constitution if he were to continue resisting to sign off on the appointments. The I-CONnect blog just ran a symposium on this intriguing case (see also two Venice Commission opinions).
The deeper background relates to the political and judicial situation in Slovakia. Andrej Kiska is one of the few elected 'beacons' of liberal democracy in the region, as underlined most recently by the re-election of Miloš Zeman in the Czech Republic, who furthermore managed to disrupt the hegemony of Robert Fico and his party ('SMER-SD', transl. 'Direction – Social Democracy'). Although it would be a mistake to put the latter in the same basket as Orbán or Kaczynski, from the perspective of liberal democratic values, Fico's and SMER's record has been tainted by persistent corruption allegations, rhetoric and inaction on Roma and migration, as well as limited willingness to address structural problems in education, health and justice.
While appointments to the SCC take place outside the 'regular' judicial system, the SCC's constitutional responsibility – which among others includes review of human rights complaints – obligates one to see the essentially political nominations also in light of the general state of Slovakia's justice sector. The public's trust in the judiciary is chronically low, albeit somewhat improved on previous years, scoring 4.59 out of 10 in 2017 compared to 3.27 in 2012. The judiciary is long broadly split between a reformist group of judges and the old guard; in the most recent elections to the self-governing body (the Judicial Council), the reform-minded association of judges was routed. The pantomime villain of the Slovak judiciary, Štefan Harabin, continues to sit on the bench of the Supreme Court where he consistently, along with his allies, acquits policemen investigated by the police inspection, which, granted, is mired in problems of its own, contrary to the practice of 'rival' Supreme Court judges (for the best academic treatment of the structural state of the Slovak judiciary post-1989 see the recent 'Perils of Judicial Self-Government in Transitional Society' by David Kosař). The judicial and political power games have further manifested themselves in controversies concerning the appointment of ECtHR and EU General Court judges.
The constitutional kerfuffle surrounding the latest appointment process has prompted the ruling coalition to consider amendments to how SCC judges are appointed. Presently, Article 134 of the Constitution prescribes that the SCC is to have 13 judges who are appointed by the President for a non-renewable period of 12 years, on a proposal of the Parliament which draws up a list of candidates consisting of twice the required number of judges. This means that in the upcoming appointment process the President should be presented with a list of 18 judicial candidates, all of whom must (1) be at least 40 years old; (2) possess a law degree; and (3) have practiced law for at least 15 years.
The President and the Venice Commission, among others, have called on the government to make the criteria stricter. The main stated reason for the President's refusal to previously appoint the three disputed nominees was that they lacked the proper qualifications to be judges at the SCC. Implicitly, this was a recognition that Fico was trying to pack the Court with inadequate party loyalists, not an unreasonable suspicion given that two of the nominees were long-standing members of SMER-SD (one with a record of involvement at dubious universities as law professor).
As of yet, it is not clear whether, and if so, what the ruling coalition will propose in terms of amending the SCC appointment procedure. It is, for example, unclear whether the age limit should be raised, lowered or left intact, as there might be a shortage of highly suitable candidates already as it is. In any case, as the core of the process is enshrined in the Constitution, it is likely that any amendment will have to be of the constitutional kind which requires a qualified majority of at least 90 out of 150 MPs. Achieving this threshold would require the coalition government to obtain at least some support from the parliamentary opposition.
One seemingly laudable idea is to require a broader consensus in the Parliament when it comes to SCC nominations. The Parliament could agree on the list of candidates using a constitutional majority instead of a simple majority which would at present entail cooperating with the opposition. This would of course not prevent an Orbán-style constitutional capture should a single illiberal party obtain a constitutional majority in parliamentary elections. In more ordinary times, it would make for a more consensual appointment process, however.
A more radical idea, unlikely to be implemented in the short time available, would be to partition judicial nominations among different institutions. In 2016, the justice minister, and one of the few bright spots of the coalition government, Lucia Žitňanská, suggested that the SCC could be enlarged to 15 judges with five nominated by the Parliament, five by the President and five by the Judicial Council.
Whatever ultimately the solution, one additional factor might potentially complicate the 2019 SCC appointments. It is not only the nine SCC judges whose mandate is expiring in the spring of 2019; the next Presidential elections are scheduled to take place only a month after the new SCC judges should take office. Filibustering and stalling could therefore represent a strategy to sideline the current President who has proven openly adversarial to Fico's interests, even at the expense of a temporarily dysfunctional SCC.
Nevertheless, there is also reason to think that the SCC appointment procedure could be resolved in relative peace. For one, the government is no longer composed solely of SMER-SD, and Fico's coalition partners appear so far willing to act as a check on the appointment process. Second, all the coalition parties, most of all SMER-SD, should have an interest in avoiding a constitutional crisis or an obviously flawed list of candidates which could play in the hands of the extreme right and other anti-systemic forces. As long as he can appoint nine reasonable candidates out of the proposed 18, the President is likely to play along and avoid sparking another constitutional bout despite considering the SCC decision restricting the scope of his appointment powers, which runs in the opposite direction than the SCC's resolution of a previous controversy surrounding the appointment of the general prosecutor, to be deeply flawed.
The outcome of the upcoming SCC appointment process will exert considerable influence on Slovak constitutional justice until 2031. A smooth conclusion to this process ahead of the deadline would not only send a positive signal about the present state of constitutionalism in Slovakia but also represent a welcome reprieve for the region and the EU in view of the recent developments north, south and even west of this small country.
SUGGESTED CITATION Ovádek, Michal: Drama or Serenity? Upcoming Judicial Appointments at the Slovak Constitutional Court, VerfBlog, 2018/1/29, https://verfassungsblog.de/drama-or-serenity-upcoming-judicial-appointments-at-the-slovak-constitutional-court/, DOI: https://dx.doi.org/10.17176/20180129-170703.
1) The conflict also concerned two judges who were selected by the National Council ★after★ the inauguration of the President. Indeed, he ended up appointing both of them to the office (judges Mamojka and Laššáková).
2) Much of the process for the appointment of CC judges is actually regulated by sub-constitutional law. Sure, you need to amend the Constitution to raise the eligibility requirements or tinker with the NaCoPresident competences. But to have a public (televised) hearing of the candidates in the NaCo Constitutional Committee, you just need a change to the rules of procedure. Similarly, the Committee could submit the NaCo a ranked list of the candidates just by an informal change of practice (this was considered, but rejected in 1992).
3) Do you really think that the 3/5 absolute majority for CC appointments will make the process "consensual?" Also, having fewer judges works best for the govt because of the Art 131.1 of the Constitution.
Anyway, thank you for the contribution. I hope that we will be able to meet soon and discuss the issue at length. Will you be at the ICON-S conference in HK?
Concerning the lack of trust in judges, it is at this point that I always wonder if wider use of juries as in the UK wouldn't help?
3) I do think that increasing the majority requirement could make the process more consensual. Personally I think that the SCC could benefit from a more broadly legitimized judicial mandate. Of course increasing the required majority could result in more deadlocks but it might a risk worth taking.
That's something to ponder. I think the current approach is very much focused on efficiency, i.e. trying to decrease delays and length of proceedings but (1) the reforms take time and in the end might fail and (2) they don't address some serious charges of nepotism which might are undoubtedly part of the trust issue. For illustration, there is a report from 2013 which shows that 22 (out of 67) judges from a regional court in eastern Slovakia had family members working at courts in the region (13 at the same court). So I think in terms of increasing trust there first needs to be a wholesale reform ensuring that courts are staffed with quality personnel through fair and transparent procedures.
"For three years, Andrej Kiska, the current President elected in 2014 in a run-off against the Prime Minister, Robert Fico, was resisting to confirm the appointment of the candidates nominated by the Parliament prior to his election"
It seems that it is rather President Kiska (and not Fico) who should be compared to Polish authorities (namely to President Duda who does not want to appoint the judges of the Constitutional Court chosen by (previous) Parliament.
I'm not sure whether there were doubts about the quality of the candidates in the Polish case but the concerns leading to the hesitation of the President in Slovakia were legitimate. On the other hand, there is no arguing that the President's behaviour was constitutionally questionable. The entire saga is complex and it would be an oversimplification to not take into account the quality of the candidates nominated by the government.

NOT QUITE BLUEGRASS: Trampled by Turtles, though influenced by traditional bluegrass, has a sound all its own. Courtesy photo.
A fiddle and a banjo don't always equal pure bluegrass. Minnesota band Trampled by Turtles fuses the country sensibility of bluegrass with an indie-folk mentality and a ton of energy to create music that commands attention. Many of the band members come from a rock background, giving Trampled by Turtles an edge that places their sound far outside the realm of traditional bluegrass. While Trampled by Turtles shares a similar folksy vibe with bands like Mumford and Sons and the Avett Brothers, there's a bit of punk influence that makes their sound something fans of Flogging Molly might go for.
"I would just describe us as a string band, or perhaps a rock band with bluegrass instrumentation, as opposed to a bluegrass band, since we don't really play traditional bluegrass at all," affirms singer and banjo player Dave Carroll.
Formed in 2003, Trampled by Turtles started out more as a side project than an outright ambition. In many ways it was just supposed to be a break from their rock bands at the time, but within the first year Trampled by Turtles took priority over other projects. They started out with records heavily influenced by traditional bluegrass and grew into a sound that borrowed from those same influences but didn't rely on them.
"This is actually my very first band I was ever in," Carroll mentions. "For the rest of the guys, I think the acoustic thing came about as a side project to the rock gigs. Our lead singer Dave Simonett had his electric gear ripped off after a show in Duluth. Somebody just walked off with his gear, and all he had left was an acoustic guitar. He started playing some duo shows with our mandolin player Erik Berry. I saw them playing one night and thought they could use a banjo player. Then came our bass player Tim Saxhaug and eventually Ryan Young [fiddle] joined."
Their latest record, "Stars and Satellites," (released in April) has a chill, relaxing feeling that contrasts from their energetic previous release, "Palomino" (2010). Mellow tracks like "Midnight on the Interstate" and "Alone" define the mood of "Stars and Satellites," but much of that vibe comes from Trampled by Turtles' recording process.
"We recorded Stars and Satellites in a log home up on the north shore of Lake Superior," Carroll says. "We had the place for a couple of three-day sessions. It greatly reduced the pressure since we were not being charged by the hour. We brought up all the recording gear, loaded it in, set up and recorded for three days. We played, ate, slept and partied for three days and then again a few weeks later. It was awesome."
Considering several of the songs on the album were first played together during the recording process, the natural purity of sound in "Stars and Satellites" makes perfect sense. They didn't have time to over-think the sound; they just made it happen.
"Dave [Simonett] had emailed us the songs a day or two before we arrived, so we had this sense of freedom when we started to record," Carroll explains. "Coming up with parts as we went along, as opposed to playing the songs live for a few months. Also, it has a little more of a mellow relaxed feel, something we were all really happy with."
One of the best things about Trampled by Turtles is that they don't take themselves to seriously. Nothing points to that more than their "Walt Whitman" music video. Cartoon Network's Adult Swim show "Squidbillies" animated the band into a whimsical (and slightly disturbing) mini-episode of sorts.
"A while back the people at 'Squidbillies' had asked us to record a version of their theme song. I think that some of them were fans of ours. I'm not exactly sure whether we asked them or they asked us about doing the video, but it was so much easier than the previous videos. We didn't have to do anything!" Carroll admits."Actually Dave S. had to do a small voice over part for the beginning, but that was easy."
In the coming months, Trampled by Turtles will be collaborating with the Minnesota Orchestra around Christmas time. "I can't wait to hear what is sounds like to play with an entire orchestra," Carroll says. "We are all very excited about this."
Their nationwide tour begins at the beginning of October. In addition to playing the renowned Austin City Limits festival, Trampled by Turtles will be playing at Greenfield Lake Amphitheater on Sunday October 7th. Tickets can be purchased through www.greenfieldlakeamphitheater.com for $15 in advance and $20 on the day of the show. Doors are at 4 p.m. and the show starts at 5 p.m.

Everyone is pretty thrilled about the de-Bishoping, but that will likely change next season when Aidan has to take over the vampire's leadership duties.
Josh (Sam Huntington) remains blissfully ignorant of issues he'll have to face when his girlfriend — who miscarried and found out his were-secret — let's him in on the fact that he took a chuck out of her arm while he was changing. We're well-versed in were-rules, and we're pretty sure that means she's one now too.
So what did you think of Season 1? For the most part, we really liked where they diverged from the original series' storyline and were happy about a few areas they chose to stay the course.

Q: bash terminal [\t] (time) is not same timezone as 'date' In my .bashrc file I configured how I would like my prompt to be displayed. My .bashrc is sourced in .bash_profile. The command in the .bashrc file is:
PS1='[\t] \u@\h is $PWD :: '

I switched the user (for me) timezone to GMT+0 using tzselect. The problem I am having is that using the date command I am getting the GMT time (which I am pleased with) but the terminal prompt is still on the system time (even after logging in and logging out), which I am not pleased with.
How can I get the terminal to display the time in the time format that I, the user, am specifying?

A: You don't say how you set the timezone, but since you set it for your own user, that has to be by setting the TZ variable. Bash (at least version 4.1.5) has some quirks when it comes to taking a TZ change into account: the change is only reflected after the shell has started an external command (it has to be an external command, forking a subshell isn't enough, nor is executing built-ins).
bash-4.1$ PS1='\t '
12:31:05 export TZ=Asia/Tokyo
12:31:12
12:31:13 echo foo
foo
12:31:14 /bin/echo foo
foo
19:31:17

So if you set TZ in your .bash_profile and you don't happen to start an external command, you will still see the time in the old timezone at the first prompt.
export TZ=GMT
# Refresh bash's idea of $TZ for prompt display purposes.
# As of bash 4.1, this requires running an external command!
if [[ $- = *i* ]]; then command true; fi

Freshwater has been attending and showcasing our company at DSE for the last seven years. Our team spends months planning for this event, as it is valuable time spent with our vendors, our partners and our clients. DSE is a great networking event, but even more so for us, it is an opportunity to spend time with the people we have done business with since Freshwater began operating in 2010. Time on the showroom floor, at dinners and at sponsored events help deepen those partnerships and help grow our business.
The exhibit hall is always packed with new technology and an opportunity to bring new ideas home to clients. Clients who are unable to attend always look forward to our reports and are ready to test technologies that are not yet mainstream. This fuels our team's creativity. A large percentage of our business is driven by what would be considered standard technology, but it's the new stuff that keeps our creativity flowing and drives our team for continuous innovation.
We come back every year because Freshwater considers DSE a prerequisite for operating in the digital signage industry. Our presence continues to build on our partnerships and our brand in the space. We are leaders in the digital signage content space, but surrounding ourselves with other leaders helps us push our boundaries and continue to grow. Knowing everything about the space is impossible, and we pride ourselves on being students of the industry. DSE is one of the very few places where everyone comes together in a way that allows full access to experts across all functions of digital signage.
In addition to meeting with new people, DSE is a great show for learning about what's possible. While technology changes a little year over year, it is what is being done with this technology that evolves rapidly. Seeing how companies are solving unique challenges and delivering rich interactive experiences to screens large and small is a huge highlight every year. I'm always inspired by the projects and creative solutions I see every year at the show.

LONDON, October 20, 2017 — The Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) traditional PC market (desktops, notebooks, and workstations) was almost flat in the third quarter of 2017, with the market remaining slightly negative (-0.5%) and totaling 17.7 million units, according to International Data Corporation (IDC). The commercial space posted slight growth (0.1%) due to enterprise renewals and education deals, while holiday season promotions and gaming increased volume in the consumer segment. Notebooks performed positively across EMEA (+0.3%) with strong growth in CEE (+5.6%), though they remained negative for both MEA (-4.0%) and Western Europe (-0.1%). On the other hand, desktops were stronger in EMEA, eroding at a softer rate (-2.9%) with strong commercial demand across CEE (+8.0%).
"The overall Western European traditional PC market showed clear signs of strength," said Malini Paul, senior research analyst, IDC Western European Personal Computing Devices. "Although notebooks remained the primary growth driver, desktops emerged as a stronger category, declining at a softer rate. But results were varied within the region. While southern Europe witnessed solid results with Spain, Portugal, and Greece finally opening up their IT wallets for PCs, the Nordics slumped after several quarters of solid growth. Among the three big Western European economies, France outperformed Germany and the U.K."
In Western Europe, the overall traditional PC market contracted 1.3% YoY. Notebooks declined 0.1% YoY after several quarters of positive performance. On the other hand, although remaining negative, desktops showed some strength and decreased just 5.2% YoY. Southern Europe led growth, with France, Spain, and Portugal growing at 1.8%, 5.9%, and 32.2% respectively, followed by Benelux (2.7%). The U.K. is still negative, but it performed above expectations with a 2.7% decrease. On the other hand, the Nordics declined 3.2% with Sweden decreasing the most in terms of volume (-4.1%). DACH also performed negatively, with Germany declining in volume by 2.9%. The consumer PC market declined by 2.0%, although some back-to-school deals and demand for thin and light solutions are driving the segment. In addition, preparations for holiday promotions, such as Black Friday, helped boost volumes for consumers. On the other hand, the commercial space declined by 0.8%, though it benefited from the acceleration of Windows 10 adoption in large and very large enterprises and the continued adoption of portable form factors, especially convertibles, that offer greater mobility and flexibility.
"In line with the latest forecast the CEMA region reported flat growth of 1.0% YoY," said Nikolina Jurisic, product manager, IDC CEMA. "The CEE region continues to gain momentum, posting overall growth of 6.4% YoY, thanks to healthy demand from both the consumer and commercial sectors. The overall desktop market recorded further strong growth of 8.1% YoY. Demand was mostly driven by a few large deals across the region in both the corporate and public sectors, while the consumer sector saw a marginal yearly decline of 0.5% YoY. Gaming products are making inroads in the region, despite still limited volumes. The notebook market maintained healthy growth of 5.6% YoY driven by demand in the consumer space. There was a different picture for the MEA region, where the overall traditional PC sector remains constrained, reporting a 4.5% YoY decline. The corporate and government sectors offset the overall PC decline. Demand from the consumer space remains constrained across nearly all countries in the region."
Traditional PC market consolidation is still progressing, and the top 3 vendors' share continued to grow in 2017Q3. The top 3 players accounted for 60.2% of the total market volume, compared with 57.0% in 2016Q3.
HP Inc. remained the largest vendor in EMEA, gaining 1.3% market share YoY to reach 27.2%. Robust notebook performance combined with strong desktop results supported some of the gains.
Lenovo continued in second spot, securing 21.3% market share (up by 1.2% YoY), primarily driven by notebooks and desktops in the commercial space, where the company clearly outperformed the market.
Dell Inc. retained its third position with a market share of 11.7% (up 0.8% YoY). In addition to solid growth of notebooks and desktops in the commercial space, strong notebook results in the consumer segment boosted growth.
ASUS faced another challenging quarter, with 8.9% market share. Its desktops declined further, but the company continued to consolidate its position in the notebook space in CEMA.
Acer Group ranked fifth, with 8.4% market share, mainly driven down by Western Europe and MEA. In CEE, however, the vendor reported double-digit growth demonstrating its stronger foothold.

There are good habits that you should start to live by as you and your little model start your modeling career. By following some of the advice below you will set yourself up for success and hopefully get yourself invited back! These tips work for casting calls or bookings. Either way work hard to put your best foot forward and use this as a learning opportunity for your little model.
Be well behaved and respectful. Casting calls and bookings can be stressful on all of the staff that is involved. You want to make it easy on them and stand out.
If your child is a little older, stress the importance of listening to the directions of the photographer, casting director, or staff. The more your little baby model can follow directions the better they will do in this industry.
Be on time and preferably a bit early. You should aim to be 10 to 15 minutes early to allow for finding the right room in the building and finding a restroom or changing a diaper quick if needed. This is even more important when you are at an open casting call. First impressions matter a lot in this industry. If you can make a great early impression on the folks that are making the decision, that will go a long way for your success. Compare that to showing up as one of the last few people there when they are all tired and just trying to make it through.
Always be respectful. Use your good judgement for those around you and those that are at work. Being quiet and sit still as long as you can. If you need to hop on a call or let your toddler burn off some energy, step outside a bit. It is a much better solution to be polite and respectful than be seen as the parent and model that is a hassle to deal with.
Have your little models stats – current height, weight, measurements, and clothing sizing on hand. Some auditions will still ask you for that info.
Always make sure you have your special shoot back packed. Purchase a lightweight tote bag (or large diaper bag) with the following items on all your casting calls and bookings. Your voucher, minor work permit, your coogan account information, a favorite attention getting toy or two, white shoes or booties, white diapers (babies), hats, headbands or barrettes. It is also important to pack non-messy stacks for you and your little model.
Be professional and courteous at all times. Remember it is a job and the people there are working. Modeling is a pretty different industry than most folks are used to. Remembering that it is a work environment will help keep things in perspective and generally on your good behavior.
It might make sense to have a few headshots with your agencies information on it. You never know what may happen and if they know how to book you at a later date all the better. If that opportunity came and you were empty handed you'd be kicking yourself later. Even companies that are just doing catalog modeling usually will also do commercials of some sort and your little model may be a great fit.
Be supportive of your child. Instead of being a crazy stage mom, it is important to capture as much learning out of the experience as you can for your child. Along with that is being supportive so they know they can pick themselves up and keep going. Parents play a large role in demonstrating that ability and teaching that skill to their children.
Always bring non-messy snacks and water. Waiting can be hard enough. Waiting when you are hungry and thirsty can be unbearable for kids (and parents).
If it doesn't go well try to use it as a learning opportunity as we mentioned above. But keep it fun as well and swing by for a nice snack or something on the way home. If it isnt fun for your little one it won't be worth it for them or you.
Don't be "pushy" when you are at casting calls. Like we mentioned above, you never know who you'll be interacting with and the decision power they have in your success.
Don't be late. Other than being rude in general, it could put you at the end of the line. Which, depending on the day and your child could be a very bad thing.
A part of not being a stage mom is not taking it personally if your child isn't selected to go forward. Modeling is a very subjective and finicky business. THe client is going after a certain look, not necessarily the "best looking" child. So try hard not to take it personally.
Only go to casting calls that your agency sent you to. Your modeling agency is looking out for your best interest and it is important that you only go to casting calls they are aware of when you are working with one.
Don't let your children run around like crazy they are at a jungle gym. If they need to burn off some steam take them outside for a few minutes. There is an entire team of folks trying to get their job done, you should aim to make it easier, not harder.
When your baby model is on set with the photographer take his direction, don't start directing things yourself. More than likely they will want your help to get your baby to smile or whatever. Your job is to follow their lead, not coach your child on what to do.

SEATTLE, Aug. 09, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Deako Smart Lighting and Dolan NW announced today they have joined forces to make the first modular smart light switch available across the country. Starting today, both homeowners and builders will be able to purchase Deako's modular system at two of Dolan's companies, DestinationLighting.com and BuildersLighting.com. Deako's modular system of easy-to-install back plates has created an affordable smart lighting system with no special wiring or hubs required. The patent-pending "click-in" back plates make the Deako product simple to install, and home builders and renovators are benefiting from the ability to easily upgrade a home to a smart technology system for a fraction of the cost.
As part of the partnership, Dolan's companies will serve as Deako's Master Distributor nationally, and will become the primary supplier to its builder and electrical customers across the country. Dolan's companies offer a selection of fixtures and accessories, from hundreds of manufacturers and a robust supply of more than 100,000 products including both indoor and outdoor lighting fixtures as well as hardware and home decor. In the coming weeks, Deako will become available at Dolan's other companies, including Globe Lighting, Seattle Lighting, Meletio Lighting and Builders Lighting Boise. Deako will continue to maintain a close relationship with both its builder, electrician and end-user customers, providing pre- and post-sales support directly.
Deako's beautiful, touch screen smart light switches can each control one light, groups of lights or all of the lights in a home with a simple tap of a switch. This scene controlling feature had traditionally been offered only in high-end systems and usually only placed in select areas of the home due to high cost and complex wiring. All Deako Smart Switches include an elegant touch interface, timer and nightlight options and work with Android and iOS devices.
Deako believes that everyone should be able to enjoy the wonderful experiences of smart lighting, regardless of their budget. We invented the modular light switch, giving homeowners maximum flexibility to customize and upgrade their systems, at any time, in minutes and without turning off the power. Deako Smart Lighting has been named the #1 Smart Lighting Control System by TecHome Builder, Top 25 Innovative IOT Companies by Entrepreneur, Top 50 most promising Startups by Bloomberg, and "Changing The Way Builders Spec Light Switches" - Builder Magazine. For more information visit the Deako Smart Lighting Website, Deako Twitter, Deako Facebook, Deako Instagram, Deako Houzz, Deako Pinterest, and Deako LinkedIn.
Dolan NW, LLC is a privately owned, nationally recognized manufacturer of fine lighting based in the Pacific Northwest. Our family of retailers includes Globe Lighting, Seattle Lighting, Meletio Lighting, Builders Lighting Boise, DestinationLighting.com and BuildersLighting.com.

Funding family law cases after Legal Aid
As the dust settles following the end of public funding (Legal Aid) for the majority of people involved in family law cases, I am very interested to know what the actual impact on the ground will be.
The Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act (LASPO) came into force on 1 April 2013 and means that Legal Aid is no longer available for individuals involved in family law cases where there is a divorce or financial proceedings or where it is necessary to deal with the living arrangements of children, unless there is proven elements of domestic violence.
Some commentators expect the main impact of the withdrawal of Legal Aid will be a reduction in the number of family law disputes being dealt with by the courts. The rationale of this view is that people will be more inclined to resolve matters between themselves outside the court room as a result of not being able to fund the cost of having legal representation.
The other view is that the volume of court cases will not change but instead there will be a dramatic rise in the number of people who decide to represent themselves within the proceedings rather than incurring the cost of a solicitor.
The Bar Council – the 'watchdog' for barristers in this country – clearly feel that the latter is more likely and it has published "A guide to representing yourself at Court". This DIY manual for legal proceedings offers advice to those considering conducting their own litigation which ranges from offering tips on what to wear at court and what speed to talk at (half your normal speed is recommended) to providing quite detailed legal guidance about the principles and application of section 25 of the Matrimonial Causes Act and the technicalities of Trusts law.
The Bar Council guide also gives advice on advocacy skills by explaining how to conduct cross examination by asking 'closed questions' as well as tips in presenting opening and closing submissions.
I do question whether there is any realism behind the publication. Being involved in family law proceedings, whether dealing with a divorce or financial settlement or whether sorting out living arrangements for children, can be incredibly stressful for a lay person even when they have experienced legal advisers assisting them. For an individual to try and conduct their own family law case without the benefit of legal advice would be all the more daunting a prospect.
Help with divorce
Those who will no longer benefit from Legal Aid will have difficult decisions to make, namely whether to attempt to resolve matters without the need for court proceedings and if court is unavoidable, whether to pay for legal representation or have a go themselves. I fully accept that for some, paying for a lawyer is not an option.
The impact of LASPO may not necessarily be all bad news.
The act does offer some encouragement to the financially weaker spouse in divorce and financial remedy proceedings by making some amendments to the main divorce statute, the Matrimonial Causes Act 1973. The amendments make provision for a Legal Services Order.
Such orders will give the court the power to order provision towards the applicant's legal costs. This is not a new concept as case law had previously enabled an applicant in maintenance pending suit proceedings to seek an element in the award for legal fees known as a 'cost allowance'. The main difference is that the legal services order will allow the court to order a lump sum payment which can be ordered to be financed by the sale of property or other assets.
Only time will tell how useful to a financially disadvantaged spouse the legal services orders will be but they are certainly something to be mindful of.

The Bacon Bonanza from Gotham Steel cooks perfect crispy oven bacon without the grease. Stop eating greasy, soggy, unhealthy bacon and go for the healthier, crispier bacon. The Bacon Bonanza cooks up to 12 slices at a time. It's made of copper for maximum durability and features a super strong non-stick coating. It's dishwasher safe and oven safe up to 500 degrees. It's PTFE/PFOA/PFOS free.
The secret to the Bacon Bonanza is the elevated grate that keeps the bacon out of the grease. Less grease means less fat, less calories and less cholesterol. The non-stick surface makes clean up a snap. You can also cook turkey bacon, tofu bacon and even thick-slice country style bacon in your Bacon Bonanza.
