CB 1 February Sexy Party
Ok, so we don't have to crowd source this thing tonight. That's a relief because there isn't much of a crowd to begin with. Half the board members are here, but there's a slew of electeds and staffers, including Councilmember Steve Levin.
6:36 PM: District Manager Gerry Esposito takes the roll and Chairman Chris introduces the first item
6:43 PM: A representative of a building on Havemeyer and Hope looking to add 25 new units gives his presentation.
6:46 PM: Scott McCozi from Department Design and Construction gives a long presentation on the $1.2 million Humboldt Street plaza project in front of the Moore Street Market. Artist Austin Thomas has been selected to design the art portion of the project, but the city is spending much of its 10 minutes talking about all the new seating arrangements, benches, trees, tents, and expanded sidewalks. They're taking away a lane of traffic and parking spaces between Seigel and Flushing, and redesigning the parking spaces to be angular.
Gerry stands up and gives an impassioned plea on behalf of supporting the project and the Moore Street Market. This is maybe the longest speech I've heard Gerry talk at a board meeting, so this is pretty important.
Joan Bartolomeo of the Brooklyn Economic Development Corp mentions how existing vendors will not be relocated and she is looking for more new vendors, and she has been talking with upstate farmers about expanding a greenmarket inside. Bartolomeo adds that most of the work at the Humboldt plaza will be adding even more stalls outside.
It's Team Moore Street Market!
7:11 PM Councilman Steve Levin praises Gerry and Marie for their work on the Moore Street market, and Joan at BEDC. Steve worked on this project when he was a staffer for Vito Lopez, in 2007, and Steve notes that Gerry didn't have a handlebar mustache at that time.
Steve adds that HELP USA withdrew its proposal for a shelter on McGuinness Boulevard.
"It means that we have a say over what happens here."
He points out that the city sent letters to Monitor Street residents about the Nassau Avenue reconstruction project.
"All of a sudden DDC discovers that everyone's fences and stoops are encroaching on public property. Everyone scratched their head and said, 'excuse me' and got very upset about that."
The sense that I am getting, talking with more city officials, we'll be able to get to a place where nobody will be able to move their stoops. It warrants another meeting. It's ultimately a Department of Transportation decision. Stay tuned on that.
Regarding Noble Street, former Councilmember Abe Gergis was complaining about the fence in 1981, when the current Councilman was 1 years old.
And Steve is urging the MTA to move its bus lot on 65 Commercial Street to an alternative site in Queens.
"I am confident that the city will accept a site on Maspeth, Queens for its access-a-ride program currently on Commercial Street. It's absurd that it's six years later that it hasn't moved."
Finally, Steve notes that he has been working on loft issues with Vito's office and he says that loft dwellers can reach out to his office anytime. And then he scurries off to a meeting with DHS about the homeless shelter that is not coming to Greenpoint.
Miss Heather texts in that she cannot imagine this community board at Ms. Ramos' passion party. Well, I can!
7:24 PM: Chairman Chris takes the mic
"He's a tremendous spirit and force in this board and we really hope to have him back here
Please give our best ot hte rabbi and wish him all the best. We hope to see him soon as he is able.
Chairman Chris notes that he is glad that the 400 McGuinness shelter proposal was revoked, but not for the reasons you might think. He's more upset that the nonprofit, HELP USA stonewalled the community board.
"A project like this of this magnitude should have been handled in a much greater understanding if HELP USA came forward to the community. They didn't feel they had to, technically they could bypass us and they did... If HELP USA had come and talked, maybe this could have been handled in a different way. People need to come and speak, it makes sense for groups who want to have an impact to the community."
Chairman Chris has a letter from the consulate general of Poland regarding the concentration camp naming resolution and he's going to read it. Can we still make concentration camp jokes? Only if it's about Germany.
Finally, Chairman Chris wants to set the record straight about the sexy party discussion on the listserv. He giggles while he's saying this.
Wilfredo Florentino asks, "Whats that website?"
Chairman Chris: It's CB1Brooklyn.org. It's the only one. It's always been there... There's been some misrepresentation in the press..."
I have a question for Chairman Chris. He doesn't take it. Well, alright then.
7:40 PM: Diana Reyna's Antonio Reynoso talks about how great Diana Reyna's health fair was, even though it happened two weeks ago.
There's also an announcement of renovating the Grand Street streetscape, a capital allocation from the past year.
Antonio gives shoutouts to Gerry, Marie, and everybody else for renovating the Moore Street Market.
Congressional liaison Evelyn Cruz mentions Congresswoman Nydia Velazquez's holiday party, mentions her new less impressive titles now that the Republicans won Congress, and gives more shoutouts to Gerry and Marie for advocating for the Moore Street Market.
I have a great picture of Nydia at her holiday party somewhere. Oh, why here it is.
7:47 PM: Karen Nieves begins the transportation committee report, summarizing the 90 minute Monitor Street meeting in... slightly less than 90 minutes? Kidding.
Karen notes that Boars Head wants to turn Bogart Street into a one-way street and requests a vote on the Humboldt Street Plaza. It passes.
She tries to get off the stage faster than Kim Kardashian, but Rabbi Niederman has a question about sanitation pickups during the snowstorm. Karen tries to answer questions. She feels obligated to stay around and answer for a while. Gotta feel for Karen.
7:59 PM: Rabbi Niederman gives a summary of his public housing report:
"In a nutshell, the questions were, you see lots of scaffolding, lots of housing and you don't see any movement.
We're going to get more reports about which project is slated for repairs.
The Rabbi brings up concerns about window guards and how to install them properly. And if you don't use them you can lose your Section 8 Voucher
8:03 PM: Tom Burrows with the Public Safety meeting subbing for Mieszko Kalita
"Mieszko is lying on a yacht somewhere in Fiji. We feel real sorry for him."
Tom kicks off the report with Juliet's sidewalk cafe license. The restaurant is next to Egg, which gets slammed on the weekends, so cramming a cafe on that busy corner is going to be interesting.
Tom notes the board has taken a tour of Club Rust and notes several concerns, so Ward Dennis recommends "no with extreme prejudice" on the item.
"I have serious concerns about the owner's ability to run the place," said Ward.
The motion carries.
Tom gets very excited describing the board's tour of the movie theater next door.
"There are servers who bring you drinks when you watch a movie," said Tom.
There's The Meatball Shop, which is trying to open another branch on Bedford Avenue and its license gets approved.
Tom bundles the renewals... and they're approved.
8:17 PM: Public Session! Two minutes each. Miss Heather perks up and starts recording Joseph *Garber. This must be a special project of hers.
Garber sends his condolences to Rabbi Webber, he wants to send more suggestions to Chairman Chris in the mail, he chides the public safety committee for not dealing with law enforcement issues, he's attended every snow removal hearing including the latest one in Bensonhurst, the budget will be released on Feb 15th, the last two meetings of public housing had lots of "erroneous facts" and he's going to write them up, he's "sick and tired of being harassed by Rabbi Niederman," he attended Marty Markowitz's event and "it was a very nice event," that's about it, thank you very much.
*Katie Denny from the North Brooklyn Public Arts Coalition updates the groups upcoming oral history project recording stories of community members, residents and business owners of North Brooklyn. They're going to archive them and screen/ stream? them on construction fences in North Brooklyn.
*Christine Murray is asking for garbage cans on Driggs between N. Eighth Street and McCarren Park, especially for dog owners
*Mark Visovsky for PSC Cafeteria incorporated is speaking about liquor license approvals.
"We cannot forget about the values of our country, we cannot put profit over culture."
Apparently the Polish Slavic Center leadership didn't consult its members regarding the liquor license and now members are upset and they have a permit.
8:26 PM: New Business! Heather Roslund notes that she's tired of getting calls from the press regarding the sale of beer at the Duane Reade.
"What I think the issue is, there's one type of license for selling and one type for serving. And they obviously have a license for selling but not for serving, yet they seem to be serving. They apparently have been serving."
Board members begin making catcalls.
Esteban Duran motions that the board should welcome Marty Markowitz's food incubator to occur inside Moore Street Market. I don't know if they're drafting a letter here, but apparently the board just voted for a motion. And we're out.

This book is the first-ever vegan-themed children’s board book made especially for babies and toddlers.
Libby Finds Vegan Sanctuary is an inspirational story about a turkey who ultimately finds safety and a forever home at a farm animal sanctuary.
The vibrant, colorful pages help to tell the sweet story. It’s explained in a way that young readers could think about and understand in simple language.
This vegan-themed children’s board book helps young kids understand the important role that animal sanctuaries have. Libby Finds Vegan Sanctuary also lightly explores the idea of choosing to prevent harm towards other animals.

CROSSRAIL has been praised for sticking to its budget and overall schedule by the National Audit Office, despite a smaller-than-expected contribution from the private sector. With the £14.8bn railway across London now half-built, the spending watchdog said Crossrail was set to provide good value for money. “The sponsors and Crossrail Limited have so far done well to protect taxpayers’ interests, by taking early action to stop costs escalating and, during construction, tightly managing the programme,” said Amyas Morse, head of the NAO. The route, co-sponsored by TfL and the Department for Transport, will run from Maidenhead and Heathrow in the west to Abbey Wood and Shenfield in the east when it is fully open by December 2019. BAA, now known as Heathrow Limited, had originally pledged to chip in £230m towards construction in 2008, but this month pared back its contribution to £70m as part of negotiations with the Civil Aviation Authority on its five-year spending plan. Canary Wharf and Berkeley Homes are paying some of the construction costs for new stations. Crossrail is expected to choose a train supplier in the first half of this year, in a contract set to be worth £1bn. The government had hoped to fund most of this deal using private cash, but axed the plan last May amid worries that the funding system could delay delivery of the trains. “[T]he strategic need for Crossrail has become clearer over time as increased population and employment growth in London have been forecast,” the NAO said.

Crossrail is hailed for being on track even with funding setbacks

The National Water and Electricity Company, NAWEC, has expressed its resolve to reduce, by this week, the frequent electricity load-shedding that the country has been experiencing in recent times.
Baba Fatajo Director of Generation at NAWEC announced this at a press conference held at the Kotu Power Station on Saturday.
The briefing came on the heels of a series of power cuts, experienced for the past two months, which has thrown people within and outside the Greater Banjul Area into darkness.
Briefing journalists on the current situation, Fatajo said due to a serious fire outbreak that destroyed three of their engines at NAWEC's Kotu Power Station in July this year, consumers have been experiencing frequent load-shedding for the past two months.
"We have received and restored our turbo-charger, which was sent to a specialized workshop in
He also announced that with the acquisition of a new control panel for Generator 4, the frequent load-shedding will be a thing of the past.
"Generator 4, which is 5.5 MW, is now functioning and in the near future eight out of the ten MW will be restored," he said.
He said that by the middle of next month, NAWEC will receive the rest of its equipment.
According to him, it is NAWEC’s concern to return to normalcy, and stop the frequent load-shedding.
"NAWEC is doing all it can to meet the satisfaction and needs of their customers," he declared.
Meanwhile, Pierre Sylva, Public Relations Officer at NAWEC, called on consumers to be patient, describing the current situation as an unforeseen circumstance.
"There have been lots of calls from our customers during this period and, to be frank, it is the right of our customers to know what is going on at NAWEC, when they are not satisfied with our services," Sylva added.
He also called on NAWEC customers to pay their bills on time, noting that without this NAWEC will find it difficult to move on.

The first issue of Meie Kodu was issued on 19 August 1949 and carried local Australian news to help recently arrived Estonians with a limited command of English as well as news of the Estonian communities across Australia and had an aim to unite them. It was bilingual due to government requirements. Over time it focused more on Estonian communities and after re-independence much more information became available regarding thoughts and event back in Estonia. These days with the advent of social media and the internet some readers question the need for such content in Meie Kodu. These new media carry news and photos of local events and Meie Kodu is increasingly finding it difficult to get articles and has resorted to using a reporter for some events.
Initially, the work of producing the newspaper was done by the voluntary labour of a large pool of people. Over the years the number of workers has reduced and honorariums to recompense costs were introduced, culminating in the appointment of a formal salaried editor-in-chief, albeit on a very modest salary. Over the same time, the costs of producing the newspaper have risen (printing, postage,...) and an electronic version was introduced to try to counter this. In 2012 the newspaper changed from a weekly to bi-weekly to help contain costs. Despite generous support from the Estonian Relief Committee (EAK) and the Council of Estonian Societies (AESL), Meie Kodu has had to use up it's small reserves in term deposits and has reached a position where to continue trading would leave it insolvent. For historical reasons, Meie Kodu is owned by the Estonian Society of Sydney, Inc. (SES) which is not able to provide additional support due to its difficult financial situation with the need to maintain the Estonian Hall.
The impending problem with Meie Kodu was raised at the annual general meeting of SES in 2017 and 2018, and requests for proposals to re-vitalise the editorial staff and direction were published in issues in mid 2018 with no responses being received. Accordingly the Board of SES agreed to the proposal to cease publication in early 2019, with an issue in January to showcase the 2018 Eesti Päevad.
On behalf of the Board of SES and all at Meie Kodu we would like to thank all the faithful subscribers and donors over the long history of the paper.

Are California Laws Getting Too Personal?
LIANE HANSEN, host:
From NPR News, this is WEEKEND EDITION. I'm Liane Hansen.
California once pioneered laws to ban smoking in public places. Now lawmakers there have proposed a slew of new bills that would regulate all kinds of personal behavior. Critics call them nanny laws.
But as NPR's Ina Jaffe reports, when it comes to these kinds of measures, California may no longer be the leader of the pack.
INA JAFFE: There are at least 11 bills pending in the California legislature that would change what people eat, where they smoke, how they light their homes and save money and care for their pets. There would be at least 12 bills, but the ban on spanking was withdrawn. Republicans like Assembly Minority Leader Mike Villines say the Democrats, who proposed all these measures, are trying to create a nanny state.
Mr. MIKE VILLINES (California Assembly): What we're talking about is when you try to regulate personal behavior, and it doesn't work.
JAFFE: For example, he says, take the bill that would make it illegal to smoke in your car if there were children present.
Mr. VILLINES: That's should be scorned upon. But do I want to make a criminal, potentially, out of a single mother who's driving in the car, trying to get her kids to daycare so she can go to work? No. So you know, regulating behavior and making criminals out of people are two different things.
State Senator JENNY OROPEZA (Democrat, California): If we cannot protect our children from this undeniable health risk, I think we are as a society in a very sad state of affairs.
JAFFE: State Senator Jenny Oropeza is the author of the measure to ban smoking in cars where kids are present.
State Senator OROPEZA: Just like the law says that no one under 18 can purchase a pack of cigarettes, we are now saying that they also should not be exposed to the impacts of second-hand smoke.
JAFFE: If that law passes, California will not be the first state with this restriction. Arkansas and Louisiana have already banned smoking in cars with children present. Sixteen states are now considering it. Another hot-button public health issue is trans fat, the artificially hydrogenated, artery-clogging vegetable oil. New York City was the first to ban it. And now...
Ms. AMY WINTERFIELD (National Conference of State Legislatures): There are also proposals in Connecticut, Florida, Hawaii...
JAFFE: Amy Winterfield is with the National Conference of State Legislatures.
Ms. WINTERFIELD: ...New Jersey, New York State, Rhode Island and Texas.
JAFFE: At least 12 states, including California, where there are four measures pending; the most sweeping was introduced by assembly member Tony Mendoza.
Mr. TONY MENDOZA (California Assembly): The state has always traditionally stepped in when it comes to the public health. We eliminated lead from paints, required seatbelts to be worn in cars and helmets to be worn in motorcycles, and this is just another incident of us stepping in to remove a harmful product that is really not needed.
JAFFE: Something else that is not needed, says assembly member Lloyd Levine, is the one million stray dogs and cats that wind up in California's pet shelters every year. So he's proposed requiring dog and cat owners to spay or neuter their pets.
Mr. LLOYD LEVINE (California Assembly): Reducing the number of animals breeding wantonly and resulting in unwanted cats and dogs.
JAFFE: Levine's introduced another measure that may reclaim California's trendsetter status, at least in the United States; he wants to ban all incandescent light bulbs by 2012 in favor of the more energy-efficient compact fluorescents.
Mr. LEVINE: So what we're proposing to do is simply wean the consumer, so to speak, off of the traditional bulb and onto the more efficient bulb.
JAFFE: Wean the consumer?
Mr. NICK GILLESPIE (Editor in Chief, Reason): Almost all of these laws have the effect of infantilizing adult Americans and saying, you are not allowed to do this, you are not allowed to consume this, you are not allowed to live your life this way.
JAFFE: Says Nick Gillespie, the editor-in-chief of Reason magazine, a libertarian publication. So-called nanny state laws, he says, can erode personal freedoms in unintended ways. Take the measure to ban smoking in cars with kids present, for instance.
Mr. GILLESPIE: Is it a good thing to give the police one more pretext to say, okay, you know what, I want to pull you up because I thought you were smoking, and I thought there was a kid in the car.
JAFFE: The lawmakers who have proposed these bills unsurprisingly hate the term nanny state laws. They're protecting dogs and cats and the public health and curbing global warming, they'll tell you. There are two kinds of nannies, apparently: the one who bosses you around, and the one who only wants what's best for you.

In yesterday’s treasury questions Morecambe and Lunesdale MP David Morris asked the Chancellor if he agreed that the m6 link road was vital for securing the Northern powerhouse effect across the north west.
Speaking in questions David Morris said:
‘Mr Speaker my constituency we have a link road, that’s been 60 years overdue and infact the Prime Minister and the Chancellor came, the Prime Minister actually put a series of bolts into the bridge there. Does my Right Honourable friend agree with me that this road is vital to the improvement of my constituency and also these types of projects should be rolled out across the area to ensure more vitality and a northern powerhouse.’
In response Chancellor George Osborne said:
‘The Heysham M6 Link road is a major achievement of my honourable friend, people have been campaigning for 70 years for the Heysham Link road and I happened to visit about a week before the general election, with the Prime Minister, and because of my Honourable friend fighting for infrastructure and jobs he is back here doing his job.’

Bolton Wanderers -- Blackburn Rovers
Another setback for Bolton, although we probably deserved a point. We gave away two penalties, both silly. It looked as if Gary Speed may have got the ball on the first one, but even if he did, he got quite a bit of the man. The second one was just stupid, I don't know what Faye was doing. And he should have scored the equalising goal as well, but he was off side. How do you line up offside on a free kick? Anelka's goal was well taken, and we should have had another along the way even before Faye's disallowed header in stoppage time. I think the squad will rue the missed opportunities. Champions league seems out of reach now, and the teams below us are catching up. If we are going to find some form, now is the time.

It is written for students at the graduate level in physics and provides the elements to tackle the main problems regarding cyclic particle accelerators. In particular, a thorough introduction is given on the topics of such machines. Phase focusing is also fully treated together with fundamental topics like synchrotron radiation and linear and nonlinear resonances. A chapter is devoted to rf linear accelerators and rf structures. The chapter on space charge effects deals with tune-shifts and beam-beam interactions. The final chapter treats both electron and stochastic cooling, thus rounding up the treatment of phase-space shrinkage introduced in the chapter on synchrotron.

"It never rains in southern California!“ Everyone of us is repeating this world known phrase all the time. You can feel in the voice that this is a joke. While I was preparing for my four month visit of California and British Columbia I imagined pictures of blue sky and extremely hot sun. Many guys who have been here before reported of a single rainy day per month and extremely hot temperatures. But this time many things are different. Since about two weeks it’s raining all day long, sometimes you can see the sun, but only for a few minutes. Another problem is the huge snowpack on top of the mountains which drains the rivers with a lot of water.
On May 20th I arrived at the San Francisco International Airport. All my luggage and my boat arrived as well and are in best conditions – I’m happy! Me and another friend started immediately to look for a used car to buy. After some trouble and three days later we packed our kayaks on top of our own car.
Our first trip was to scout the South Silver River east of Sacramento. It’s an amazing river with lots of huge slides and drops. The next day we started to scout if the waterlevel is good for that mission. It’s a pity, there was way too much water in there so we discussed what to do next.
So we went back to Placerville to check some online gauges and a few hours later we found ourselves on an evening run at the South Fork American River. The waterlevel is quite high as well, so it’s an amazing big water run, perfect to get ready for the coming weeks. The upper part which we run the coming days was amazing technical whitewater with many drops and slides. We did this part as a two day trip because we took so much time with taking photos.
Next mission was the South Fork of the Yuba River, which is also a very nice and interesting river, not far from the American River. This is a perfect mix between big water rapids and some technical drops. At the take-out we met a group of kayakers around the local guy Charlie Center. These guys told us that the South Branch of the Middle Fork Feather has a perfect waterlevel and they are going there tonight. They invited us to follow them.
We knew only one thing about the South Branch: This is a "must-do“ for every kayaker in California. After three hour of driving, we found ourselves at the put-in to spend the night there. The next morning Charlie introduced us in what’s coming the next 3,5 miles. We prepared our boats on a gravel bar. Everybody was keen to go. As I took my paddle to push my boat into the water I asked myself many questions: Will the rain make the shore that slippery that it’s not possible to scout? What about "99 Problems“, a difficult 40-footer, Charlie talked about? Just around the first corner it started with some small drops and boulder strewn rapids. A first 15-footer was the beginning of the steep and interesting section of the South Branch. We looked downstream and the only thing you could see was one horizon line after the other. We hucked down uncountable drops between 10 and 25 feet until we reached "99 Problems“. This is a little bit uncommon 40-footer with a difficult lead-in rapid which is waiting for some more descents. Still pumped with adrenalin we reached the must-do portage. After a little bit scary shore-launch we reached almost the end. There is just one drop left. A perfect shaped 50-footer is waiting to get hucked.
After one hour of steep hike out it was clear. This is one of my top favorite rivers worldwide.
The weather forecast is getting better. Just three more days until there should be perfect weather, sun and high temperatures. So we checked some more waterlevels and two days later we found ourselves on the next must-do. The Dry Meadow Creek. After one day in the sun at the seven teacups we returned to our cars with more then 200 Pictures on each camera.
Let’s see what’s going on: The waterlevels are rising but there are still some classic runs with perfect levels, like the upper/middle cosumnes.

According to some experts, teenagers need between 9 and 9.5 hours of sleep each night. This is because teenagers are going through a second developmental stage of cognitive maturation. Unfortunately, most teenagers only get an average of 7 hours each night.
There are many reasons teens lose sleep — from school stress to tech obsession and early school hours. An unsupportive mattress shouldn’t be one of these reasons.
When shopping for the best mattress, there are several things to keep in mind. First, you might choose a size to last through unexpected growth spurts, such as a twin XL. A versatile mattress that can accommodate multiple sleeping positions is ideal. This is because preferences may change with age.
Lastly, make sure changing bodies are supported comfortably so teens can sleep for those coveted 9 hours each night. Read on to learn about some of the most comfortable mattresses for teenagers on the market today.

|Sweetnight 10-Inch Gel Memory Foam

The AS3 is Amerisleep’s most versatile mattress. The even blend of support and softness is ideal for people who sleep in many different positions. This is also ideal for teenagers, since their preference may change as their body grows.
The AS3 gets its medium-firm feel from four comfort layers. At the top is a soft, breathable cover to prevent heat retention. Next comes an extra-breathable cooling layer made from Bio-Pur™ foam. This material has an advanced open-cell structure to wick away heat. It is more breathable than traditional memory foam, too—a cool mattress is especially important for teenagers as their temperature regulation is affected by their fluctuating hormones.
Next is the affinity transition layer featuring Harnessing Intelligent Ventilation & Energy (HIVE®) technology. This responsive layer reacts to body position and is found in five different zones: the head, shoulders, back, hips, and feet. It’s ideal for teens who may want more support in one area and a softer feel in others. At the bottom is a Bio-Core™ foam to resist sagging, even after decades of use. This means your teen can use this mattress through college and beyond.
Teens can be picky, so it may help to take the Amerisleep mattress for a test ride with a 100-night sleep trial period. If you aren’t happy after giving yourself time to adjust to its feel, the company will work with you to donate the mattress and offer a full refund. The AS3 is also covered by a 20-year warranty for full repair or replacement for the first 10 years and a prorated warranty for the second 10 years.
If your teenager is a high school athlete, the Zoma mattress is an excellent choice. Why? It’s designed to improve performance, fight pressure points, and promote recovery and comfort.
The Zoma is wrapped in a breathable fabric. It wicks away heat and moisture to keep your teen cooler throughout the night. Beneath the cover is a comfort layer with Triangulex™ technology. Triangulex™ is made of hundreds of triangular segments spaced according to strategic comfort zones. It provides pressure relief for the hips and shoulders no matter what sleeping position your teen prefers. This targeted pain relief is especially helpful if your teen is in sports.
Next is a dynamic response layer of Reactiv™ foam. Contouring the body to minimize motion transfer and offering “bounce” so your teen won’t get that feeling of being stuck in the mattress. It also promotes undisturbed sleep for active recovery. At the bottom is a high-density foam base. Teenagers’ growing bodies need structural support, and this Support+ poly-foam will not sag as your child grows.
The Zoma Mattress comes with a risk-free 100-night sleep trial. If you aren’t satisfied with your mattress after breaking it in, you can return it for a full refund. The mattress is also protected by a 10-year warranty. This covers your mattress with full repair or replacement on any workmanship or structural defects.
The Bear mattress is a firmer option on this list. It’s ideal for a growing and still developing body. It’s also best suited for teenagers who prefer to sleep on their backs or their stomachs. The firmness ensures proper support to the spine and pressure points of the body. Meaning, the sleeper will be supported thoroughly throughout the night.
The cover of the mattress is infused with the Celliant® fibers. This technology absorbs the body’s natural energy and turns it into infrared light. This then gets aimed back at the body and, in turn, temporarily increases blood flow. Increased blood flow cools the body’s overall temperature promoting a restful night’s sleep.
Right under the cover comes 2-inch tall graphite-gel enriched memory foam. This design further cools the body by absorbing excess heat and helping it dissipate deep into the mattress. This is a great feature for a teenager that tends to sleep hot or sweat a lot during the night.
Under the gel-infused memory foam, we find a 2-inch layer of responsive transition polyfoam. This foam relieves the pressure off the necessary points of the body and ensures the spine is kept aligned and in a healthy position through the night. This is crucial for a still-developing body as bad spine alignment can cause back problems in the future.
The last and tallest layer within the Bear mattress is the base layer. This is made from high-density polyfoam that supports the mattress’s structure. The base layer is 6 inches tall and it provides the mattress with stability and longevity.
Bear will allow your teenagers to try out this mattress for 100 nights and return it risk-free if it’s not suitable. But if it turns out to be a great match, you’ll get a 10-year warranty. This will cover structural and craftsmanship issues you may have.
4. Cedar Natural Luxe Mattress
The Cedar Natural Luxe Mattress is a hefty investment, but it’s worth the price for teenagers with allergies or asthma. Cedar Natural uses only organic materials, including latex, wool, and cotton. No polyurethane foams are used, and there are no chemical adhesives or glues between the comfort layers.
The mattress is topped with untreated 100% New Zealand Joma Wool® to wick away moisture and regulate temperature. Next is a soft and lustrous layer of alpaca wool. Then, there’s a medium-soft topper made from 100% organic latex. Below is another layer of latex, cut into three targeted comfort zones. At the base are five-zone support coils designed to relieve pressure. There is also a reinforced perimeter to support sleepers at the very edge of the mattress.
The brand offers a 1-year sleep trial. After at least 30 days, unsatisfied customers can donate their mattress for a full refund, as long as it is given in good condition. There is also a 5-year warranty against manufacturer defects.
5. Luma Natural Latex Hybrid Mattress
The Luma Hybrid mattress offers impressive versatility. This can satisfy a teenager’s evolving tastes over time. It features 4 inches of natural latex over individually wrapped coils. The design is ideal for sleepers of all types in need of pressure relief and superior back support.
A silky knit cover wraps the top layer of the mattress, made from 2 inches of natural latex pillowtop. The material is made from OKEO-TEX Certified Talalay Latex for an all-natural composition. Below is a 2-inch layer of natural latex, above the 8-inch QE Bolsa Coil Support System. Individually wrapped coils in the innerspring mattress increase comfort and isolate motion. Motion isolation is beneficial for teens who toss and turn throughout the night. At the base is 1 inch of Certi-PUR foam to offer added motion isolation and a supportive base below the innerspring layer.
Users can test the mattress for up to 100 nights. If unsatisfied, customers have the option to return the mattress free of charge for a full refund. After 100 nights and up to one year, customers can exchange the mattress for a plusher or firmer version for free. The Luma mattress has a 10-year warranty against defects in workmanship and materials.
6. Naturepedic Serenade Mattress
The Serenade is a popular choice for children and teenagers. This is because it is made from non-toxic materials without questionable chemicals commonly found in many mattresses. The Serenade offers comfort by using supportive, encased coils and a layer of organic latex. Choose from firm and cushion-firm options to customize the bed to your teen’s tastes.
The latex mattress is wrapped with organic cotton purchased from USDA-certified sources. Organic wool batting is incorporated over the top PLA comfort layer, which adds resiliency and moisture wicking for a cool night’s sleep. Below is 2 inches of organic latex, known for its comfort and pressure-point relieving characteristics. At the base is 8 inches of breathable encased coil support. Serenade has larger coils, individually wrapped in GOTS-approved fabric. This offers the right amount of bounce, plus excellent breathability and heat dissipation.
Naturepedic does not have a sleep trial, but the mattress is backed by a 20-year limited warranty. It covers defects in workmanship and materials. The first 10 years cover a full component repair and replacement. The second 10 years are prorated based on a 50/5 percentage basis. This means the mattress will be credited for 50% of its value for the second 10 years, depreciating by 5% each year.
7. Sweetnight 10-Inch Gel Memory Foam Mattress
The Sweetnight mattress is made with a three-layer all-foam system. It’s a great idea for fickle teenagers since it has a flippable design. Choose the top side for plush softness or the bottom side for medium-firm support.
The mattress is also ideal for teenagers with health or allergy concerns. The hypoallergenic mattress is made from CertiPUR-US Certified foam. This means it doesn’t contain harmful substances like formaldehyde, mercury, or other heavy metals.
Both mattress sides are wrapped in a soft rayon cotton cover for comfort and breathability. With the soft side on top, the next layer is 2 inches of gel memory foam. Next is a unique three-zoned comfort foam. It has a firmer middle to promote better comfort and weight distribution, which is important for growing teens. This offers body balance support and prevents back pain. At the base is 3 inches of high-density support foam. This material promotes motion isolation and absorbs movement.
All Sweetnight mattresses come with a 30-day return policy. There is also a 10-year limited warranty against defects in workmanship and materials. To make a warranty claim go smoothly, it is best to keep the original sales invoice.
8.The Spindle mattress
The Spindle is an all-latex mattress that’s certified as eco-friendly and naturally hypoallergenic. This mattress is especially great for teenagers who have allergies and other respiratory issues.
The cotton that the Spindle’s cover is made of is GOTS-certified, meaning it’s 100% organic and sourced ethically. Same with the wool that’s beneath the cover—it’s also GOTS-certified and 100% natural.
This plush topper duo creates a comfortable and soft sleeping surface. It also wicks away body heat and moisture.
Under the cover come three Dunlop latex foam layers. The great thing about these layers is that they’re all different firmness, and can be interchanged to suit your sleeping positions. For example, if you pick medium firmness (it comes in soft, medium, and firm), you can get up to three different levels of medium just by swapping the layers around. This would allow your teenager to find the comfort that would suit them best.
The Dunlop latex used in the Spindle mattress holds Oeko-Tex 100, Class I, Rainforest Alliance, and Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certifications. It’s 100% natural and organic. It’s also manufactured right here in the USA. Alongside the natural wool and organic cotton, this latex makes the overall mattress very environmentally friendly.
Spindle offers a whole year to try out their mattress. That’s the longest sleep trial on our list. And if your teen falls in love with its versatility, you’ll get a 10-year warranty. Another great benefit that Spindle offers is a 25 Year Comfort Life deal. This deal allows you to modify your mattress by purchasing another layer of latex with a $300 discount from their prices at the time.
9. Tulo Medium Mattress
Tulo’s medium mattress strikes the balance between soft and firm. This is great for teenagers who change sleep positions throughout the night. It also covers your bases if their preferences change over time. The bed-in-a-box is constructed from four distinct foam layers to offer comfort, support, and pressure relief. Plus, the affordable price point is ideal if your teenager is only living with you for a few more years.
The top breathable cover is soft to the touch and will keep teens cool throughout the night if they tend to run hot. Since changing hormones can affect body temperature, cooling memory foam is a great idea.
Below the soft cover is a 2-inch layer of high-density memory foam. Its ventilated construction contains cooling titanium particles to give teens a comfortable night’s sleep. Below is another breathable memory foam layer, crafted from 1.5 inches of open-cell foam to prevent overheating.
Next is a 2-inch responsive foam layer to relieve pressure for growing bodies and teenage athletes. It is also designed for durability, so it will last throughout their college years and beyond. At the base is a foundation layer made from 4.5 inches of medium support.
Your teenager can give the bed a try with a 120-night trial. If they don’t love it, Tulo will pick it up for free and give you a full refund. There’s also a 10-year warranty. The warranty covers defects including any visible sag greater than ¾ inch in the foam material and any physical flaw or manufacturing defect in the foam or mattress cover. Tulo will repair or replace the product for 10 years after the date of purchase.
There are various preferred sleeping positions, some of which can change in a single night. A teenager’s preferences may change over time as well. Select a mattress ideal for their current sleeping position and one that is also versatile enough to account for changing needs over time. A medium-firm mattress is a great middle-ground for all types of sleeping positions.
Talk with your teenager about their sleeping preferences. Once you understand what they like or which areas may need extra attention, you can suggest the proper firmness level to keep them comfortable and supported all night long.
If not adequately supported, your teen side sleeper can face more hazards than back sleepers when it comes to back pain, pressure points, and injuries from sleeping. This is because there are more curves on the side of a person’s body. Shoulders, hips, and knees need to be cradled and supported to prevent pressure points.
Because of this, side sleepers should choose a medium mattress. A memory foam top layer, for example, will work to cradle shoulders and hips. This support can prevent injury and stress on the back. Keep in mind, it’s recommended to sleep on the right side. Sleeping on the right side has been shown to be good for cardiovascular health while sleeping on the left side might put undue pressure on internal organs such as the heart, liver, and lungs.
Back sleeping is the best position for a person’s spine. A high-quality mattress will support your teenager’s spine and promote proper spinal alignment. Something too soft and unsupportive can create painful pressure points at any age. The best supportive mattress for back sleepers has a medium-firm feel. This will cradle the spine throughout the night.
Stomach sleeping is not recommended. It can put stress on your teen’s neck and back. This is especially detrimental when people don’t have the right mattress. If your teen is a stomach sleeper, they may wake up with pain in the lumbar spine. To prevent this, they should sleep on a firm mattress. This will ensure hips do not dip too deeply in the mattress and cause their back to arch all night.
Also, stomach sleepers should use a body pillow to take the pressure off the lower spine. Place a firm pillow underneath the hips and stomach to reduce stress on the lower back and neck.
Best Mattress Sizes for Teenagers
Chances are your teen’s room isn’t as large as your master bedroom, so you’ll need to keep your home’s layout in mind when selecting a mattress size. You’ll also want to account for your teen’s growing body. Read on for more about the most popular mattress sizes for teenagers.
A twin-size mattress will work for many teens. It is ideal for smaller rooms and can fit in a 7-by-10-foot space or larger. Twin mattresses are only 75 inches long and 38 inches wide. If your teenager hits a growth spurt, they may not be comfortable in a twin bed, as 75 inches is just over six feet.
Twin XL Mattress
A twin XL (or extra long) mattress has the same width as a twin but is 80 inches long. Those extra 5 inches can be great for teens, as they will have a little bit more room to grow into it. Also, twin XL mattresses are commonly found in college dorm rooms. If you invest in a twin XL mattress for your young teen, they can take it with them when they go to college rather than use a lumpy dorm mattress. This can ensure they get enough sleep.
A full-size or double mattress is smaller than a queen at 53 by 74.5 inches. The minimum room size for a full bed is 9 by 9.5 feet. This won’t leave much room for end tables if your teen has a small room (or is heading to a dorm room), so you might want to choose a headboard with built-in storage or an overhead bookshelf.
If your home and budget allow, a queen-size mattress is a popular choice for teenagers. It is 60 inches wide by 80 inches long. These dimensions are nearly 6 inches longer than a double bed, so it’s a good option for taller teens. Just be sure you have enough room to accommodate a queen-size bed. The minimum room size for a queen bed is 9.5 by 10 feet.
Shopping for a new mattress for teenagers can be difficult since you’re choosing a bed that will likely be with them throughout changing life phases. We’ve answered some of the most frequently asked questions about purchasing mattresses for teens.
What Is the Best Mattress Type for Teenagers?
While each type of mattress offers its benefits, we believe that foam beds are the best choice for a good night’s sleep. They are most versatile and will constantly adapt to the growing body.
Is a Memory Foam Mattress Good for Teenagers?
A memory foam mattress is an ideal option to ease aches and pains associated with the teenage years. But if teens have allergy concerns, natural latex is preferable. Either way, a solid base is ideal for supporting young bodies. Be sure to choose a mattress at least 10 inches tall to ensure it offers enough support for your teen’s growing body.
What Ages Are Twin-Size Beds For?
Twin-size beds are suitable for children more than 18 months of age and up. Teenagers can also sleep in twin-size beds so long as they aren’t particularly tall. Twin-size beds are about 75 inches long. If your child is tall or hits a growth spurt, upgrade to a twin XL (extra long) bed.
Is Twin XL the Same as a Full-Size Bed?
Both twin XL and full beds are 80 inches long, but a full bed is much wider. Twin XL beds are 38 inches wide, and full (also called double) beds are 54 inches wide. A full bed is ideal for teens who toss and turn and would prefer more width but it can still be too short for very tall teens.
As with anyone of any age, the best mattress for teenagers will vary based on sleeping preferences, body types, and any possible health concerns or pain issues. Overall, a medium-firm mattress is a good selection to accommodate an array of sleeping positions. This is ideal for teenagers as their preferences may change over time.
When it comes to the best bed size, consider your teen’s room and body type. A twin bed will be too short for taller teens, but a twin XL might be just what you need. If their bedroom is on the larger size, a queen bed will be able to grow with them at any age.

We parents, need to get ready first for sending our children back to school as it is necessary for our little ones to be back in school for their physical, emotional and intellectual wellbeing. Confining them within the four walls for the last one and a half years has already done unimaginable damage to our youngsters, which no one will be able to assess at this point of time. It is, therefore, essential for us to send them back to the place where they should be at this age.
Once we are mentally prepared to send children to school, educate them about the dos and don ts and guide them on expected changes in school including temperature checking, distant seating arrangements, reduced social gatherings, need for frequent sanitization, importance of wearing masks always etc. They need to be trained to adjust with such changes and move along comfortably. They also should be made aware that these preventive measures are required to ensure good health of themselves and their loved ones including intimate friends.
We parents also need to ensure that our children eat healthy to remain healthy. Avoid junk food as much as possible, ensure children get a balanced diet and sufficient sleep. Do not send children to school if they suffer from any sort of unusual health conditions (cold, cough, sore throat, indigestion, etc.). Check the body temperature of child before they set out for the school.
Abu Dhabi Department of Education and Knowledge, in its communique to the parents said that children should be told it is natural for them to feel anxious or nervous about their return to school. “Have an open conversation about their anxieties and fears about returning to school and reassure them about safety measures and precautions the schools will have in place to keep everyone healthy, ADEK.

This 16- week plan comes straight from Spartan Race HQ. Created by Spartan's own Jeff Godin, Ph.D., associate professor and the chair of the Exercise and Sport Science Department at Fitchburg State University, it is the ultimate guide to preparing for a Spartan Beast race.
About the plan from Jeff Godin, Ph.D.:
This Spartan Beast training program is not your typical workout routine. The majority of the exercise is intended to be performed outside. The more hostile the conditions, the better.
Spartan obstacles can be condensed into three categories: climbing (pull-ups), crawling (push-ups), or high power activity (burpees), so these exercises pop up frequently. The race is intense and you will accumulate lactic acid and experience muscle fatigue. Burpees condition the whole body and, if done consistently, they can reduce the negative effects that high-intensity exercise has on muscle power.
Mix balance into the plan at will. For example, on your next trail run, instead of just jumping over a log, run across it, or when you cross a stream try hopping form rock to rock.
The program assumes:
- You can run a 10K in 60 minutes
- You can exercise for 1-1.5 hours without excessive fatigue
- You love getting dirty, to sweat, and don’t mind scrapes and bruises
- You are intelligent and know the difference between pushing hard and doing too much
Also: If you can’t complete a full set of burpees, pull-ups, or push-ups, as the program is written, then do as many as possible. It is also OK to break the set into smaller sets, for example if the program calls for one set of 15 burpees, do three sets of five with a short break in between. Do what you can, always trying to do a little bit more.
Finally, toughen yourself up! Endurance races are 99 percent mental. Very fit individuals quit races because they gave up mentally. Find your comfort zone and test the boundaries a little at a time.
Ready to eat dirt and get in the best shape of your life? Welcome to the world of Spartan Racing.


Given any discussion of the Mazda RX-8 will inevitably (and very swiftly) turn to its problems, they seem worth mentioning first. Yes, even though this is a celebratory piece. Because, well, the RX-8 wasn't a flawless car from the beginning, fresh and exciting though it undoubtedly was. Its abundance of revs was equalled by a paucity of torque, exposed by brawny rivals like the Nissan 350Z, Vauxhall Monaro and turbocharged Audi TTs. Its fuel economy rivalled the rally reps without their searing cross country pace, and nothing quite consumes oil like a rotary engine. There was also the small matter of 284g/km...
Then, of course, there are the problems that have manifested themselves as the car has aged. Ignition issues, engine flooding, low compression, worn rotor tips, the potential need for rebuilds... It's a long and pretty intimidating list in the worst case scenario, exacerbated by the everyday running costs: a post-March 2006 car could cost as little as £1,000 to buy, but £555 to tax for a year. Here is not the place to state definitively what works and what doesn't; some online commentators will tell you theirs is fine after thousands of miles of considered use and others will call RX-8s total garbage, but it seems fair to say they need a caring, dedicated owner.
So what does that owner stand to inherit? Firstly, it's worth contributing some context, and reiterating what a seismic impact the car had on the UK coupe market in the early years of the 21st century. Despite being a cult favourite, the previous RX-7 had found few fans willing to part with their money in the UK: too expensive, too niche, too not German for our tastes. That changed with the RX-8; less focused and slightly less powerful, sure, but also more accessible, more practical and significantly cheaper. At launch the 192hp car cost £19,995, with another £2k getting buyers into the 231hp, six-speed flagship.
And what a package it was. Fast, direct, engaging, dynamic, well equipped, practical and distinctive, the RX-8 was immediately popular and successful in an extremely competitive coupe sector. Let's not forget that in the middle of the last decade a budget of around £25k could have bought you anything from a 350Z to an Alfa GT, Vauxhall Monaro, or an Audi TT. Or a Chrysler Crossfire. Or Toyota Celica.
Special editions and equipment updates followed, plus the significant R3 revision of 2009, but fundamentally the recipe remained familiar throughout its seven years in the UK. There had been nothing quite like it before - the RX-7 representing a more exotic Wankel heyday - and there has been nothing like the RX-8 since, the only potential for future Mazda rotaries apparently being as range extender motors. The 350Z was replaced, the TT continues to this day and even Toyota still has a sub-£30k coupe on sale, but the death knell sounded loud and clear for the RX-8 eight years ago.
You'll know probably how the story goes from here, the RX-8's terminal flaw now proving its most charming attraction. Goodness knows the rotary engine has some innate, er, quirks to get around; that said, to experience an engine this smooth, this characterful and this willing in a world of copy and paste turbos is an absolute revelation. The lack of torque feels almost dangerous initially, and there remains no escaping the fact it doesn't quite go fast enough to match its ferocious appetite for unleaded. But once it's beyond 6,000rpm, shrieking its demented howl through the last 3,000rpm and feeling for all the world like it's good for about 12,000, the RX-8 almost qualifies itself for Hero status immediately. That it responds so perfectly to the throttle pedal, is matched to a delightful six-speed manual and keeps its power building for seemingly every last rev simply seals the deal. Powertrain diversity and variety should be celebrated in all their forms, and the rotary is as worthy of celebration here as any flat, V or straight equivalent. It's a marvel, so smooth you'll never believe it runs on something as crude as petrol, and an absolute tonic in a world that must prioritise accessible torque, lab test emissions and ease of use.
The joy of the RX-8, and its appeal as a package, though, was that it provided so much more intrigue than simply a cool engine. Encouragingly, that talent endures to this day, which makes its irrefutable woes the more frustrating. This is a superb car to drive, weight feeling low, centralised and exquisitely controlled. Thus there's seemingly agility and balance to spare, meaning precious, hard-won momentum can be easily maintained and manipulated.
There's nothing particularly revolutionary about the RX-8 - double wishbones up front, multi-link at the rear, Bilstein dampers for this 40th edition and anti-roll bars - so it just goes to show that a properly devised conventional set up can still deliver. Granted, the steering is nothing exceptional and there's a brittle edge to the ride, but the fundamentals are spot on - balance, turn in, wheel control and so on. The RX-8 remains a finely honed and rewarding sports car to drive - coming from Mazda that probably shouldn't be a surprise - and a reminder of why light, front-engined, rear-drive cars will always have a deserved special place in our hearts. Should you find a slippery enough surface, too, the RX-8 is more than willing to indulge your Tokyo Drift fantasies, benign and approachable as it is when the tyres relinquish grip.
That combination of magical powertrain and finely wrought dynamics, plus great value and real practicality, found the RX-8 plenty of fans when petrol was less than a pound a litre. At the peak of its popularity, HowManyLeft suggests that more than 20,000 were registered on UK roads, some achievement for a sports car from a non premium manufacturer. Bear in mind there were never more than 6,000 Nissan 350Zs in the UK and you get a better idea of the RX-8's popularity.
A decade and a half after its introduction, it's still not short of supporters, those dedicated to the cause and staunch advocates of what looks like being the last rotary Mazda. On fleeting experience it's not hard to see why, the car still delivering a drive like no other. It's not perfect by any means, but it is memorable and characterful, which will count for a lot as it moves towards classic status.
There's no doubt any RX-8 requires careful and considered use, and it would certainly seem some owners are simply unluckier than others. That said, for offering a refreshingly Japanese take on the 21st century coupe, for opening up thousands more people to the joys of rotary engines and for proving there is a Mazda sports car beyond the MX-5, the RX-8 deserves its Hero status. They're cheap for a reason (those engine maladies), yes; however they're also lauded with good cause, and that's because they're damn good fun. The RX-8 is a flawed gem, of that there can be no doubt, but it's a gem nonetheless.

Editorial Comment: “The Rule of Law and its Crisis – Is it Time for Europe’s Leaders to Make Up Their Minds?”
Something is rotten in the heart of Europe. A supranational organisation based on the maxim of ´integration through law’ is currently witnessing the erosion of judicial institutions in some of its Member States. What began as a Hungarian oddity in 2010 has turned into a full-blown crisis of the rule of law touching the very soul of European integration and eventually undermining the institutions through which it operates. There appears to be no end in sight. So far, the most significant reaction in support of the rule of law is coming from other judicial institutions, mostly the Court of Justice of the EU, but the political leadership seems to willingly ignore that the roof of the house is on fire.
In 2018 the Court of Justice ruled that a systemic breach of judicial independence can lead to the suspension of criminal judicial cooperation among national courts (LM (C-216/18 PPU)). The judgment resulted from a reference of an Irish court questioning whether it was under a duty to enforce a European Arrest Warrant issued by a Polish court. A year later the Court of Justice ruled that lowering the retirement age of Polish judges breached EU discrimination law and the principle of judicial independence in Article 19 TEU (Commission v Poland (C-619/18)). The ruling was preceded by an order of the Vice-President of the Court of Justice ordering the Republic of Poland, inaudita parte, to halt its judicial reforms prior to the Court of Justice’s ruling. In November 2019 the Court of Justice rendered its latest judgment on the Polish saga, overruling the creation of a disciplinary chamber in the Polish Supreme Court (AK (C-585/18)). The case law is now coming full-circle and it is conditioning the interpretation of other key provisions of the Treaties, like Article 267 TFEU, governing the conditions that national jurisdictions must comply with to make preliminary references (Banco Santander(C-274/14)).
This case law results from a combined effort of Polish courts requesting preliminary rulings and the European Commission launching infringement procedures against the Republic of Poland. The result is an unprecedented body of case law with the aim of preserving the rule of law, irrespective of any transfrontier link or connections with areas of EU policy. Needless to say, this case law has taken procedure and substance into new grounds, pushing the paradigm of integration through law into unchartered waters. Article 2 TEU has now indirectly become a judicially reviewable provision, thus providing a novel remedy that walks together with the political enforcement tools of Article 7 TEU, which was originally conceived to keep courts away from situations of serious breach of the values of the EU. Not anymore.
However, it would be naïve to confine the rule of law crisis to a judicial conundrum in a Member State. Not only because a similar evolution has taken place in Hungary, but mostly because the attacks on the Polish and Hungarian judiciaries suggest there is a trend that goes beyond judicial policy. The rise of populism and authoritarian leadership is undermining the quality of democracy and the rule of law throughout western society. A combination of ill-bred messages with a poor link to veracity, together with a victimising rhetoric and the manufacture of a convenient enemy, has turned autocratic populism into a global movement destabilising the very heart of liberal democracies. It is in this context that the attacks on independent judiciaries have propagated throughout the world, including Europe.
After two years of case law and rulings from Luxembourg, is there any sign that the rule of law crisis is receding? Not really. The European Popular Party’s mild reaction to Fidesz’s membership (combined with Viktor Orbán’s support of Ursula von der Leyen’s nomination and new college of Commissioners), seems to have emboldened the Polish government into launching a new round of attacks against judges, irrespective of the Court of Justice’s rulings. Early this year the Polish President hit back in a televised interview, criticising ´foreign lawyers´ and accusing the Court of Justice of lacking legitimacy to rule on these cases. In early February new legislation came into force in Poland targeting judges that simply comply with their duty to ensure judicial independence as interpreted by the Court of Justice. In light of these recent developments, it is obvious that the Commission and the Court’s recent decisions have not humbled the Polish and the Hungarian governments nor their ruling parties.
The rule of law crisis is an existential threat for the EU in which lawyers play an important role. Law is a means through which pluralistic societies channel their competing interests through democratic procedures. The role of law in pluralistic societies is not only confined to the settlement of disputes, but it must also govern the terms under which complex polities reach agreements for the benefit of the community at large. Law sets limits to the government’s powers, but it also sets the trail that leaders must follow in reaching consensus and building majorities. The rule of law is not a goal in itself, but rather an instrument of fundamental relevance, like a computer’s operating system, that allows our liberal democracies to function properly. Policy-makers, judges and lawyers must ensure that the rule of law functions correctly, or look the other way at their own peril.
However, countering the attacks against the rule of law through court action will not stop the crisis from spreading. The attack on judicial independence (or academic freedom, as is also the case in Hungary) is only one step in an ambitious populist strategy that looms large over our future. It must be contained through courts, indeed, but also through a brave political stance in support of our cherished but fragile democracies. The fall of the Berlin wall gave the West a sense of superiority that proved to be naïve and misleading. It is time to wake up and realise that our democracies are under attack. This challenge requires a response from all institutions in a combined effort to counter exclusionary nationalist discourses, racism and xenophobia, criminalisation of minorities and the rise of false information about crucial developments for humanity, like climate change or the demographic challenge.
The actions of the Court of Justice, together with that of national courts and the support of the Commission’s legal service, have provided a robust first reaction against the serious attempts to undermine the rule of law in two Member States. It is now high time for the political institutions of the European Union and in the other Member States to rise to the challenge and follow the lead. The path has been set and the legal tools are ready, but the journey leading us into this daunting task must be led by our political leaders, not by courts. History provides too many examples, in both the distant and recent past, of the price we all pay when leaders refuse to stand up and leave the task to others. In fact, the EU is the direct result of the suffering and catastrophe that resulted from that kind of short-sighted strategy. It is time for Europe’s leadership to make up its mind and fearlessly confront what could become the EU’s vilest, and eventually lethal, political crisis.

New details on the next MINI Roadster & Coupé
Maybe the most highly anticipated Mini models are the next Coupe and Roadster, both previewed by a concept at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show. These models will be showcasing not only a sportier look, but they will also result in a sportier driving experience than any similar MINI product before them. Thankfully, we won’t have to wait long for either one of them because they will both be unveiled in 2011; first the roadster in the late spring and the coupe a few months later.
Both models will get a redesigned front and rear fascia and unique hood designs. The models will also feature exclusive trim and color options. The Coupe Concept is powered by a 1.6-liter twin-scroll turbocharged power unit carried over from the MINI John Cooper Works. The engine delivers 211 hp and a peak torque of 192 lb-ft. The Roadster concept is powered by a 1.6 Liter twin scroll turbocharged engine, the same power plant that is used in the MINI Cooper S. Boasting go-fast-goodies, like direct gasoline injection, the boosted mill generates a maximum output of 175 HP and peak torque of 177 lb-ft.
We’ll bring more details on the MINI Coupe and Roadster as soon as we receive them.
