After a Director Is Fired and a Work of Art Paused, We Must Demand Social Justice
Controversy swirling around the firing of Kimberli Meyer and the pausing of a major work of art is currently distracting us from the conversation we need to have about art and social justice.
by Nizan Shaked October 26, 2018 October 27, 2018

LOS ANGELES — Suffocated by all the noise around the recent incident at California State University Long Beach (CSULB) is the discussion of an important artwork that would have featured the recorded voices of twenty-five black subjects, a mere sampling of many who have died an unnecessary death by police brutality. "American MONUMENT," (2018) a project by lauren woods (who spells her name all lower case), has been pulled by woods until her collaborator, Kimberli Meyer (who was until early September the museum's director), can resume the role of stewarding this complex production. On a plinth in the center room of the University Art Museum (UAM) at CSULB, where "American MONUMENT" is displayed, are 25 pedestals, each carrying a turntable on which an acetate record would have been silently spinning, waiting for a visitor to put the needle down and activate the art. The installation includes sounds taken from public records of what a black victim killed by the police said, or what was said about them around the time of their death. If such a record does not exist, the viewer placing the needle on the record would discover deliberate silence. The records though are gone. Actually, according to the artist, the piece is "paused."
As a work of institutional critique "American MONUMENT" explores the role of race in the reproduction of the social order, how it is interpreted by legal discourse, enacted by law enforcement, and systematically perpetuated. The work brings a refusal to sensationalize the spectacle of black death to bear on the questions of the construction of race and violence. Unfortunately, at CSULB, the work triggered the very issue it intended to disclose.
Controversy swirling around the firing of wood's collaborator and the pausing of a major work of art is currently distracting us from the conversation we need to have about art and social justice. Heartbreaking for me is that the students on our campus are being deprived of a profound experience. And the students know it.
I am not a disinterested party. I am the museum and curatorial studies professor on campus. I am also the recipient of many communications from past and current students, expressing anger and dismay over the loss of an art experience and damage to our reputation. I have been working with the campus museum since 2006, and I am very familiar with its institutional culture. Nevertheless, there are many positive things to say. Students in the School of Art boast an outstanding record of job and terminal degree studies placement, in which the opportunity to work with a professional accredited museum, and access to actual art, plays no small part. The university art museum places our campus on par with research institutions.
I have a long-standing collaborative relationship with Meyer. Since she assumed her position on campus in 2016, students have been placed at the front and center of our dialogues. Separately and together with woods, we all debated the significance of Meyer's proposed focus on disrupting structural white supremacy. Since identity politics is a topic in my scholarship, I prodded Meyer on whether race, rather than class, should be the issue on the table. The artist and I also had conversations on the work of the scholar Adolph Reed Jr., who argues for a focus on class politics. Ultimately, Meyer insisted not only on the focus on race, but on uncompromisingly referring to the problem as that of white supremacy.

Meyer's practice included acknowledging that we are on indigenous peoples' land, actively cultivating relationships with ethnic studies departments, and attempting to actively change the "climate," an institutional code word for racial relations.
As part of her plan, Meyer wanted to engage the staff, and herself, with the topic as an intellectual and cultural problem. After all, it is the human element that animates the institution and must therefore be part of a systematic analysis of its role in upholding white supremacy. In the summer of 2017, the CSULB office of Equity and Diversity advised Meyer to back away from staff meetings focusing on structural racism in general, and to concentrate instead on art programs, in particular the lauren woods project. According to the Equity and Diversity office, CSULB staff cannot be forced to go through anti-racism training. It must be elective.
[Editor's note: Hyperallergic followed up with CSULB regarding this claim by Professor Shaked. Terri Carbaugh, the head of the Public Affairs office responded: "she [Meyer] was directed to work with HR. Members of her staff had complained to HR some of her 'anti-racism staff exercises' were making them uncomfortable." Meyer corroborated this, and made clear that indeed she approached the employees she supervised and engaged them in discussions about white supremacy, and queried them about the potential of inviting outside groups to come in and work with staff on anti-racism and anti-bias training. Meyer acknowledged that the conversations made some staff uncomfortable, and related that none were required to further engage in any training as a result of those initial conversations.]
That advice did not arise spontaneously — it was prompted. In the coming months Meyer would be subject to stresses from individuals at multiple institutional levels regarding "American MONUMENT." Yet, when fired six days before its launch, the university insisted that the exhibition and the firing were not linked. Nevertheless, it is clear as day that even if ostensibly they were not previously related, well then, they sure are related now. In juxtaposing the two events, the university administration has performed what can be described as a curatorial act, bringing into relief a connection that they will never be able to undo.
An outcry in Meyer's defense from the campus and arts community prompted the administration to reveal a cause. There were "operations" issues, an official statement declared, initially misspelling Meyer's name, as if driven by an unconscious need to rouse further attention. The community was not satisfied. "Operations" issues are a suspicious cause for firing a director who had almost fifteen years of stellar performance with a complex set of international institutions, as Katie Grinnan, who has worked with Meyer before, testified at the Dean's townhall meeting. Instead, Meyer was hoisted to the ranks of several other radical women leaders in the arts who have recently been fired from their jobs, such as: Helen Molesworth, Laura Raicovich, and María Inés Rodríguez.

In the days that followed her firing the debates based on speculation, were clarified by another type of institutional spokesperson. In a statement defending the staff from "hurtful" false narratives pushed by the media and the administration denying the staff's right to speak, the president of the California State University Employees Union Chapter 315, Jennifer Moran, spoke on behalf of her clients. In doing so Moran probably breached several rules herself, since she is also the development coordinator for the Dean's office, and spoke out of turn in the middle of an appeals process. Nevertheless, she inadvertently revealed the extent to which the culture of the UAM echoes that of the state and its police.
Apparently, Meyer has failed because of her "disregard for needed compliance to union and university rules, regulations, restrictions, policies and procedures," corroborating woods's conclusion that the firing "is tied to her trying to do a different type of practice!" As woods also underscored: "this is what institutional violence looks like."
The lion's share of Moran's objections rest on the fact that Meyer did not involve the Long Beach or University police. But why would a project focused on critiquing systematic police brutality turn to the police for the alleged necessary protection? We should be talking about the fact that black subjects are killed at a sharply higher rate than any others in the United States. We should be asking who gets to call the police, and who has to fear the police. At the Dean's town hall meeting the general misunderstanding of the work was reflected in the words of a senior museum staff member who claimed that the degree of collaboration between woods and Meyer was "not always transparent." How curious: months of research orchestrated by Meyer with students and staff on campus, and at the museum, resulted in reams of information that were supposed to go on display. Meyer met weekly with a team of two interns from the College of Liberal Arts, a museum studies graduate, one museum work study student, and a staff member, often FaceTiming with woods who directed the research about more than 200 victims she had initially identified. Together they generated a set of template letters and guidance for how to follow cases. Students created and worked on shared files for each victim, amassing basic data, new media reports, documents, videos, and sound files. They utilized a Freedom of Information Act letter-generating platform to send out requests to civic and law-enforcement offices. They tracked responses in a Google doc, and students followed up on their own cases. By the time lauren arrived in July, they had a lot of data. As faculty member Craig Stone underscored: "Kimberli is everywhere in the show, she has signed on all the freedom-of-information requests!"
Complaints about last-minute changes and late deliveries should not even raise an eyebrow for anyone familiar with contemporary art making and museum work. These are standard procedure. Bringing them up as failures on the part of Meyer must refer back to the question: is this what we should be discussing now?
If staff were allowed to speak, what would they say? Would they actively advocate for "American MONUMENT" to come back? The question is critical because, as former student Breanne Bradley said, "they seem to have moved on to the next project." If museum staff at the UAM are committed to restorative justice, as they claim, they should advocate for Meyer's return, whether they personally want it or not. Combatting structural white supremacy takes putting one's comfort aside.
If the administration would step up and take responsibility for the damage they themselves created, what would they do? After all, the staff union did not fire Meyer, they merely advanced some easily refutable causes. How do we know that these are actual causes, not alibi? After all, as Barbara Fields so brilliantly identified, racism is the means, not the end: "the object was to produce cotton or sugar or rice or tobacco, not to produce white supremacy."
What if Meyer's firing is related to a real estate deal she was unwilling to accept? Responding to the administration's push to place the museum in downtown Long Beach, Meyer had argued that a public institution should not pay rent to a private developer. Raising more questions is the timing of her firing, four hours after she delivered upon a $10 million donation – the largest in the museum's history, and second highest campus-wide donation.
[Editor's note: To the assertion that Meyer delivered this donation, Carbaugh replied "Not 100 percent a fact. Kimberli did engage in many external relationships with university donors and the $10 million was part of that ongoing engagement work. The campus continues to have conversations with the donor. There is no signed gift agreement at this time." Meyer replied to this by explaining that she had worked with the donor for years and had essentially secured a verbal agreement to make the donation and had brought together the donor, her representatives and her lawyer for the first time and connected them to the university's development office with the understanding that the university would finalize the transaction.]
If the staff and the administration are truly committed to Meyer's vision of exposing and eliminating white supremacy, a watered-down version will not suffice. As graduate student Andrea Guerrero told Hyperallergic: "They can't keep the project moving forward because they weren't in support of the project."
To overcome the racism embedded deep in our consciousness and our society, much more is needed than compliance with the rules. We find repeatedly in endless studies that the rules are written by the status quo, to protect the status quo, and that the status quo upholds white supremacy. Our job as intellectuals, artists, and art professionals is to question the rules. If we don't start here we will not get to the next question of a much broader abolitionist project — which should be the critical work done at the university. Critical art takes vision, flexibility, and personal largess to extend oneself beyond one's petty grudges. To assume that the system protects us is to assume privilege. To wield it is to reinscribe what "American MONUMENT" seeks to combat.
Editor's note: Regarding Shaked's contention that Meyer's firing likely has something to do with her opposition to a plan to expand or move the UAM to downtown Long Beach and enter a relationship with a developer that would see the university paying rent to that developer, Carbaugh countered that "there had been talks, and there are talks about downtown student/faculty low income housing, but the UAM appears to have dropped from the discussion." Shaked responded to this by citing two articles from 2017, one from the Press-Telegram, and the other in the Long Beach Post. Shaked also wrote: "Plans of opening a museum branch as part of a downtown development have been in the works for years, and have been openly discussed at faculty meetings, with the entire faculty of the Art Department present, several times during the tenure of the previous museum director, Chris Scoates. Last year I attended a retreat with the UAM Advisory Board and staff at the architects' offices downtown and we all walked over to the proposed site. The general feeling of unease expressed around these open discussions was that the university will eventually want to use the campus space for other purposes, which would be a clear pedagogical mistake."

To the CSULB staff: Oh bwaaahaahaa, so you're uncomfortable having to talk about the issue of race? Well, what about those that have to live with the issue of race in this country daily? How "superior" are you if you're that damned fragile and wimpy?
MWnyc says:
What makes you so sure that the staffers don't have to deal with the issue of race in this country daily? It's a fair bet that at least a few of them do.
My guess would be that the staffers didn't want to spend work hours being instructed on racism in society when they have a museum to run.
Racism in a society affects all of its institutions. If the structure of their museum has issues that make it racially biased, then they need to make the time to deal with it. Otherwise they shouldn't complain if they end up with falling membership and no funding when they become increasingly irrelevant, because they're not appealing to a broader population. It's called business, preparing for the future and understanding how to be in it for the long hall.
Mike Hire says:
seriously. Everyone has to deal with racism everyday, as I'm having to deal with your racism right now ….
Obviously, you feel like your toes were stepped on, because you're the very type of person I was referring to and it shows.
Wow. It's a long time since I've read an article with that many editor's notes appended.

Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One – PAX 2010 impressions
By Mikel Reparaz 2010-09-07T04:01:16.249Z Feature
Eyes-on with Ratchet's big co-op overhaul
Historically, taking big detours from formula hasn't worked out so well for Ratchet & Clank. True, it's only really taken one – Ratchet: Deadlocked – but that left enough of a bad taste in the mouths of fans that the series has since stuck to continually adding new bells and whistles, instead of reinventing itself entirely. That changes with Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One, which takes traditional Ratchet gameplay and turns it into a top-down, minigame-infused adventure for four players.
If reading that makes you suspect that All 4 One is a simplified, possibly terrible party-game spinoff instead of a legitimate entry in the series, you're not alone. That was our initial, knee-jerk reaction, too. But after checking it out behind closed doors at PAX, we're happy to report that All 4 One actually looks promising. Impressive, even.
It's also going to be a full-on sequel to Crack in Time, and according to production director Shaun McCabe, the team at Insomniac's North Carolina branch is going to great lengths to "preserve the series' DNA." So while All 4 One might look simplified, it actually takes Ratchet's established gameplay ideas (as well as ideas from Left 4 Dead, LittleBigPlanet and other four-player games) and adds its own interesting twists to create something that's different, but no less valid as a game.
The central idea behind All 4 One is to give Ratchet fans something they've been asking for for years: a two-player mode as Ratchet and Clank. And if you're giving two players control over Ratchet and Clank, the thinking goes, why not add two more characters? On-again-off-again villain/ally/idiot Captain Qwark is an obvious third choice, but the fourth – Dr. Nefarious – is a little weirder.
Nefarious, it turns out, is along for the ride out of necessity. The story – penned by T.J. Fixman, the same writer as the last few Ratchet games – begins with Nefarious\ formulating a plan to finally kill Ratchet and Clank. This involves contacting a Galactus-like entity called the Creature Collector, who betrays Nefarious, and kidnaps him along with Qwark and the heroes. Captive and in hostile territory, the four characters (who mostly hate each other) are forced to work together to escape – and, occasionally, to stab each other in the back a little.
Part of what makes All 4 One interesting is its heavy emphasis on co-op; play alone, and you'll have an AI partner to help you along, although a friend can drop in and take its place at any time (it'll also be possible to play locally, online or in any combination of the two). There's a lot of the co-dependent gameplay you might already expect – to cross a long chasm, for example, one player has to use a Vac-U 4000 gun to launch the other over to the next platform (or off a cliff), and then grapple onto them to swing across (or to pull them back up) – but there's a lot of other stuff that's more eye-catching.
For example, the series' classic Swingshot tool is back, but now, whenever you see a grapple point, each player can latch onto the next to form a human chain. Then, as the four swing back and forth, whoever's at the end of the chain can let go and grab onto the next grapple point, at which point the next player can swing over and grab onto them, and so on. Since everyone's dependent on everyone else to keep the chain swinging, it's really easy for someone with an axe to grind to leave their trusting frenemies behind to fall into the abyss.
Even if you decide to be a dick and let your partners plummet to their doom, it won't be a huge problem; players who fall off cliffs will respawn in a few seconds, which should dull their anger at being griefed considerably. And if one of them gets shot down by an enemy, other players can quickly revive them. Only if everyone dies at the same time will you be sent back to the last checkpoint.
The co-op mentality carries over into the combat, too; there's plenty of the shooting, close-quarters fighting, crate-smashing and bolt-collecting that has made the series great, but a few new additions directly ensure that the more you and the other players work together, the deadlier you'll be. During the demo we saw, weapons were piled around at certain points for players to fight over and grab, and while there's a competitive aspect to grabbing the weapons first, some guns are actually dependent on a partner to be effective – like one that strings a bolt of lightning between two players to create what's essentially a deadly clothesline.
You'll have to team up to scrape through other hazards as well, like massive gulfs that can only be crossed via four-barreled man-cannons (which have to be wound up by all four players twirling their thumbsticks), or a towering wind-tunnel shaft that forces all four heroes to join hands to float on the air currents generated by the four giant, alternating turbines at the bottom. Then there was the demo's crablike boss, whose weak points are a couple of shield generators that players have to launch each other at in order to destroy. All 4 One already looks like it could be an amazing co-op experience, although we won't know for sure until we get a little closer to its planned release in fall 2011.

Get your 2023 off to green start with Primrose Hospice!
When Faye's Mum and Aunty Mary sadly died she came to Primrose Hospice & Family Support Centre for support around coping with her bereavement after a dramatic change in her life.
Faye was very close to her Aunty, they used to lots together like drama, dancing and gymnastics.
"When my Aunty died it felt like I was closed off and I didn't want to know anybody. I didn't want to know the world properly and I felt like I couldn't communicate properly as I could always talk to Mary and open up to her."
Faye has received bereavement support from our Family Support Team which has helped her to come to terms with the changes in her life. Through her sessions she has made a special memory box with photos and memories of her family which she can look back on in years to come.
Since receiving support Faye has since gone onto do some volunteering in our Redditch charity shop.
"Coming to Primrose has built my confidence back up and the care team I work with have noticed the positive changes in myself since coming to Primrose. Having support and volunteering at the shop feels like a massive achievement in my life. I'm hoping one day to find a job I can do at Primrose."
Unfortunately there are lots more people who, like Faye would benefit from bereavement support.
That's where you come in.
Did you know £15 could pay for one family support session?
This Christmas why not support Primrose by signing up for our new TREECYCLE event. We can take away the hassle of your first job in 2023 by recycling your Christmas tree in return for a small donation to Primrose Hospice. We will be collecting in: B60, B61, B80, B96, B97, B98, B45, WR9, Alvechurch, Feckenham and Inkberrow.

Journalism Is Not Crime
Iran's Wall of Shame
Iranian-Dutch Journalist Detained for 10 …
Evin Prison jailed journalist dual nationals
Iranian-Dutch Journalist Detained for 10 Months Without Official Verdict
03 February 2017 by Editor
Sabri Hassanpour, an Iranian-Dutch dual citizen who was arrested by the Revolutionary Guards' Intelligence Unit in April 2016, remains in Tehran's Evin Prison, despite the fact that a court verdict against him has not been issued. According to a report by the International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran [Persian link], Hassanpour is suffering from asthma and heart disease and the doctors have recommended open-heart surgery.
Prior to his arrest, Hassanpour, who is 65, lived in the Netherlands. He is the executive director and host of the Persian-language online network "Simay-e Rahayi" (Vision of Liberation). He is also reportedly a member of the National Iranian Congress to Save Iran, which purportedly aims to establish a shadow government and parliament in exile for Iranians. In its manifesto, the group claims to be against any form of foreign or military intervention in Iran.
Hassanpour was visiting his family in Iran when he was arrested and taken to Evin Prison's Ward 2A, which is under the control of the Revolutionary Guards.
He was tried on November 12, 2016 on charges of "propaganda against the regime" and "activities against national security" at Branch 15 of Tehran's Revolutionary Court presided over by Judge Abolghasem Salavati. Salavati insulted him during the trial, and asked: "Why have you signed a letter of support for prisoners on hunger strike? I'll issue a heavy verdict." In the end, no verdict was issued. He is still detained at Evin's Ward 4, which usually houses those convicted of financial crimes.
In his tweets, Hassnanpour identifies himself as "movie director, cinematographer and actor". His wife and child live in the Netherlands and have no access to the Iranian Judiciary. It is not known whether the Dutch government or the Dutch embassy in Tehran have taken any steps to pursue his case.

Travel Finder™ Destination Guides
Red Centre and Uluru |The Ultimate Travel Guide
When to do, where to stay and what to do when you arrive in the heart of our nation.
Veronica Garcia
This Aussie icon is one that should be on every traveller's bucket list.
Located in the heart of the nation, Uluru, as its traditionally called, is a unique rock formation and a sacred site to the indigenous Yankunytjatjara and Pitjantjatjara people.
Domestic flights operate frequently into Ayres Rock Airport, which is a short drive away from Uluru National Park which houses this rock, as well as other notable formations including Kata Tjuta / Olgas. Walks, talks, culture and history abounds in this picturesque destination.
So if you're searching for the ultimate outback experience, The Red Centre is it.

Latest deals on flights, hotels, activities and more.
Getting around in the Red Centre and Uluru
There are only a few transport options to get around Red Centre. Your best bet for getting between remote attractions like Uluru and Kings Canyon are to join a tour or if you want more freedom, you can hire a car or campervan.
The town closest to Uluru is Yulara, which is where you're likely to stay during your trip. It's small and very walkable. However, to get to the sites, you'll need to journey into Uluru National Park, which is a short 10 minute drive from the township. Once there, you'll still need to drive farther to reach the walking paths.
Iconic sites such as Uluru and Kata Tjuta are both in the national park but are far away from each other. To get from one to the other, driving or taking a tour is your best option.
Red Centre and Uluru public transport
Types of transport. Public transport in Red Centre is limited to just a few routes within Alice Springs. There's no public transport in Yulara. So you have only two mainstream transport options for getting around: coaches and shuttles for group travel or cars and camper trailers.
Paying for transport. There is no official pass or card to travel around Red Centre and Uluru. For the transport options available in the region, you can pay either with cash or with a credit card.
Getting to and from the airport. You can get to and from the Alice Springs Airport by an airport shuttle bus that charges $16 each way. To reach your hotel or campsite near Ayers Rock from Uluru Airport, the best option is to take a free shuttle that leaves after each flight arrival. Taxis are available at both Alice Spring and Uluru airports.
Best apps for getting around. There are no official transport apps for getting around Red Centre and Uluru.
Red Centre and Uluru car hire rental companies
In the absence of public transport and reliable taxi services, hiring a car might turn out to be a great decision to explore Red Centre and Uluru.
Car rental desks of major car hire services like Avis, Hertz and Thrifty are available at both Alice Spring and Uluru airports. Keep in mind that car hires usually don't come with unlimited kilometres as they would it most cities in Australia. Most companies limit free kilometres to 100 per day, with a pay-as-you-go system taking effect after that. If you're hiring a car in Alice Springs, the drive to Yulara is about 440km each way.
Read our guide to hiring a car in Uluru and compare deals
Taxis and rideshare
Taxi. Since Red Centre has such a low population due to its remote location, taxis are not available anywhere except in Alice Springs and Yulara. You can pre-book the taxi over the phone or website.
Uber. Uber is not available in the Red Centre.
Airport transfers in the Red Centre
If you don't have a private vehicle, booking a free shared shuttle from the Uluru airport is your best option. You can get more information about the free shuttle here.
To get to and from the Alice Springs Airport, you can book this shared shuttle service:

The best Red Centre and Uluru activities and things to do
Unforgettable experiences to have on your journey through the Red Centre.


Football, beach and sun ad infinitum – discover the Italian Adriatic coastline around Rimini, Riccione and Cattolica! The pulsating resorts offer countless gelaterias, bars, restaurants, pizzerias and discotheques but also a multitude of tourist activities and entertainment. Numerous exciting football matches await for you in Italy and you will have the possibility to meet youth football teams from all over Europe.
This tournament is organized by the FYA 3 Villaggi Riccione and the Municipio di Riccione in cooperation with KOMM MIT.
The teams are accommodated in common family-owned hotels/guest houses (regional standard) in Cattolica, Riccione and Rimini in rooms with three or four beds. Adults accompanying the teams can book single or double rooms at an extra charge (one single room per 20 persons or per team in case of a smaller group). You can also book a hotel of a higher category.
Full board (Italian cuisine) is provided throughout your stay. First meal: dinner, last meal: packed lunch instead of a lunch at the hotel. Set lunch and dinner menus with alternatives are provided and a breakfast buffet according to the custom of the country. Breakfast beverages like coffee, tea and juice are included. 0,5l of water per person is included at lunch and dinner.
Games are played on both natural grass and artificial turf pitches as well as in the stadium of the sports grounds of the City of Riccione and the FYA 3 Villaggi Riccione. The facilities are of course equipped with changing rooms and showers. Furthermore, additional artificial turf and natural grass pitches are available for seven a side matches in the surroundings of Riccione.
The KOMM MIT staff will be pleased to arrange the journey there and the return journey by bus for you as well as your bus transfer during the tournament. In case you arrive "on your own", by private car, bus, train or airplane, please always consider that you have also to be mobile on site.
Also beside the football pitches and beaches the region offers lots of possibilities for excursions and recreational activities: The Acquario di Cattolica is worth a visit to discover not just the Adriatic's "underwater world". Europe's oldest republic, San Marino, is also waiting to be explored by you. More information about excursions here.


With spring and summer just around the corner, for some it's the time of year to start planning the next family camping trip – which has become a whole lot easier thanks an amazing new self-inflating caravan.
Camping with friends or family is an experience like no other. Nothing beats being in the great outdoors, enjoying nature to the fullest. However, sometimes it can be tough finding a comfortable place the entire family are happy with for the night.
Those complaints and worries about family members being uncomfortable will be a thing of the past thanks to this revolutionary inflatable caravan from OPUS which can transform from a compact aluminum box into a full-size camper suitable for up to six people to relax in.
The camper expands to eight feet tall and 121 square feet in total, meaning it can house pretty much everything your family needs for your next outdoor adventure.
Inside the camper, you'll find room for a dinette, a couch, two double beds, a portable toilet, a sink, a stove, and a small fridge.
The system can also be set up with running water, electric heat, and an air conditioner to ensure maximum comfort.
Just about any car can tow the trailer, with no fancy equipment, certifications, or towing systems required. It also features a rack system on top to keep all your gear secure, including bikes, kayaks, boats, and more. While on the move, all of the appliances and furniture can be safely stored under the floor.
The Air Opus Caravan is priced from £15,995 to £18,995 and are available to order online at OPUS.

Ali on the Run Show Episode 391: Catching Up with Molly Huddle
Podcast: The Ali on the Run Show
"It felt like there was an earthquake in the running world, and we're seeing these fault lines change everything. And some things are good, and some things are weird."
As the current American record holder in the 10,000 meters, Molly Huddle was one to watch heading into this year's Olympic Track & Field Trials. But just a few days before the Trials kicked off in Eugene, OR, Molly (who is also the American record holder in the 10 mile, the 20K, and the half-marathon) announced that she wouldn't be racing the 10K after all. She pulled out of the race, citing an injury that she's been dealing with since last year's Olympic Marathon Trials. On this episode, Molly — who represented Team USA at the last two Olympics, in 2012 in the 5000m and in 2016 in the 10,000m — talks about what it was like scratching from the biggest race of the year, and how she's handling the loss of an Olympic cycle and a chance to be on this year's team. She talks about watching her training partner and friend Emily Sisson win the 10K, shares her Trials highlights as a fan of the sport, and reflects on the current state of the running industry as a whole. Plus, Molly talks about what's next, including her running goals, her upcoming book (How She Did It, out next year), and what's on tap for the Keeping Track podcast, which she co-hosts with Roisin McGettigan-Dumas and Alysia Montaño.

The Bilderberg Group Must Be Usurped By The Christian Church!
I find it interesting that George Bush is headed to the G8 meeting this morning with a heavy heart — he is concerned about the U.S. economy.
So when the chips are down, he discusses America's future with his fellow Bilderbergers.
Whatever happened to America solving her own problems through her blessed Christian-based Constitution?
We should no longer print "In God We Trust" on our money, because it is obvious that whom we really trust on the International bankers and financiers.
Whose to say Obama or McCain will not do exactly the same?
Are Healy and Retinger Jews?
Are they Zionists? I was under the impression that Healy, and his fellow MP Gerald Kaufman, were actually staunch critics of Israeli policies!!
How many of the Bilderberg elite were/are members of the Fabian Society?
Or is all this talk of conspiracy, to quote Denis Healy.."absolute tosh!" ?
It makes me so mad to hear our politicians here in Ireland plugging the great 'Lisbon Treaty'.
They're telling us how great it'll be for Ireland, but they're not telling us exactly how it'll be great. They keep telling us it'll be really bad for Ireland if a NO vote is successful.
We had top freemason Manuel Barroso pretty much threatening our country to vote yes.
Well we're not scared of bullies here in Ireland. Our grandfathers shed blood for this country and we're not handing it over to EU One Worlder Bureaucrats! They know where they can stick their treaty.
The people who read this site, and sites like them, know their real agenda and it's not about jobs and fighting poverty.
Bilderberg, though, is merely a front for the Jewish Rothschild Empire — I agree.
They use the group to deflect attention from themselves, further decieving the people and those who are resisting the new fascist police state Jew World Order.
Most US patriot groups have took the bait hook, line and sinker.
That includes Alex Jones and most right wing patriot broadcasts and their internet sites eminating from the USA in particular.
I suspect the europeans know better- or at least they should!
The Rockefellers are in fact, Jewish, they head up world wide sephardic, Jewry. They are deep crypto Jews. One only need look at the photos of the Rockerfeller Clan to see they are sephardic jews and hang out with sephardic jews, guys like Nick Rockefeller, Neva Goodwin Rockefeller, Jay Rockefeller, etc. Bill Clinton is the illegitimate son of Winthrop Rockefeller and the Bush family real name is scherf, they are german jews, and former nazis. Prescott bush and adopted into the bush family and given a phony identidy, along with his sons. The Rockefellers married a relative of the Rothschilds, a gantz. So it all in the family, so to speak. for now they have grafted in a few non jews to give world jewish government or world zionist government some 'cover', but these people will be disposed of. i urge you to research the rockefeller family, they are CLEARLY SEPHARDIC JEWS, and the 2nd richest jewish family in the world after the rothschilds. Al gore married his daughter in the Schiff banking faimily. Jenna Bush married a Hagar and this family are cryto Jews. Hagars brother married into a prominent Jewish family, who owned a large part of HBO.
This new world order is so jewish, it looks like the last supper, especially the rockefellers. in addition, i knew a rockefeller who admitted to me the family was jewish and who would not go by the name rockefeller and he married a jewish woman in the presbyterian church, like the rockefellers do typically these days. thanks for your great website, and standing up for Christ and the Truth, may G-d keep you from the zionists bloody hands.
say no to the Lisbon Treaty.
Talking of crypto Jews, Sean, … "G-d"? … "Shallom"?
Anyway, there are so many crypto Jews being exposed nowadays (should we have been surprised by Bill Gates?), and certainly it is impossible to identify them by their names anymore, that I am beginning to wonder if they might really be a crypto majority in America in order to explain the extraordinarily disproportionate power that they wield if they are, in fact, only 2.5 % of the population.
These people are not real Jews. They call themselves Jews but do lie. They are of their father the devil. Jesus will take care of them all in the end..
I have done some cursory genealogical research on the Rockefellers and it seems that they originated in Germany (where they were called Rockenfeller), so they can hardly be Sephardic (i.e., Spanish/Mediterranean) Jews as "Sean" suggests. Neither can I find any evidence that they were ashkenazi Jews, and, by all accounts, J.D. (the oil tycoon) was a staunch supporter of the Northern Baptist Church throughout his life. He seems to have been a genuine, if sometimes misguided, Christian philanthropist, but it also seems probable that all of this wealth and power to influence people and events has gone to the heads of his heirs and descendents who now regard themselves as an elite entitled to fashion the world according to how they think it should be.
Rakovsky then revealed something that at that time was unknown to Gabriel and even to Stalin. He revealed that a higher order than that of Communism existed, whose orders would have to be obeyed. This bears out what Doctor Bella Dodd, head of the Communist Party in New York during the war had said. When she reported to Cleon Skousin, second in command of the FBI, she said that whenever she had any difficulty in getting instructions from Moscow because of the war, she was to go to any one of three wealthy capitalists in the Waldrop Towers. What amazed Doctor Dodd was that whenever these men gave instructions, Moscow always ratified them. When asked who the men were, Doctor Dodd refused to name them. But when pressed to say ultimately who ruled this higher order, she replied simply, 'Satan'.
From in front of the Tabernacle, he had heard a confrontation between Jesus and Satan. Satan was bragging to Jesus that is he had enough time and enough power, he could destroy the Church. Jesus asked him 'How much time and how much power?' Satan replied he would need a century of time and more influence over those that would give themselves to him. Jesus said, 'So be it.' The 20th century is the century that was given to him to test the world.
The Churches of God will be deprived of God-fearing and pious pastors, and woe to the Christians remaining in the world at that time; they will completely lose their Faith because they will lack the opportunity of seeing the Light of Knowledge from anyone at all…And, the impious one! - he will so complete science with vanity that it will go off the right path and lead people to lose faith in the existance of God in three hypostases.
The Prophecy of St. Nilus, direct disciple of St. John Chrysostom. St. John Chrysostom is the author of 'The Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom' whihc is used in the Divine Liturgy ('The Mass') of the Eastern Orthodox and Eastern Catholic Church.
The Prophecy of St. Nilus - circa 400 A.D.
I (Almighty God, Creator of All that is seen and Unseen) will make you enemies of each other; you (Satan) and the Woman (the Most Holy Theotokos), your offspring and her offspring. It (the Church) will crush your head and you will strike its heel.
Well there, my antagonistic bible-believing brothers towards the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Faith of the Lord's Apostles, how does that make you feel?
The BLESSED VIRGIN MARY is your spiritual Mother!
Its simplistic to blame "Jews" for everything. Apparently, at some point, a few prominent "Jewish" (c.f. "who say they are Jews but are not") families, claimed to be Khazars (a Mongul extraction) reached a systematic agreement with existing power centers of old European (and de facto ruling colonial world powers) order: Vatican (Ecclesiastic); Various Secret Orders; and ruling blood lines.
Key event is the invasion/coup of William the Orange. This invasion of England was facilitated by financial interests ("Jews"). Immediate establishment of the "Bank of England", a private entity, was the consequent results. The ousted royal house had resisted repeated attempts for the establishment of the private "central bank". It is subsequent to these changes that a certain Karl Marx appears in London, and later a Disraeli becomes the P.M.
Overall, a careful study of the so-called "Glorious Revolution" of England is a key requirement for discerning the actual distribution of power (and thus the share of blame).
The 'Obamanation' is NOT, cannot, WILL NOT EVER be 'one of us,' as the USA defined herself! This is as evil a rise to power, as Lenin was in Czarist Russia- and who did the Jewish Reds kill then? THE WHITE RUSSIANS. History is repeating itself, and the hatred of Varangian man by the Deicides and the non-Caucasoids is so intense, a virtual bloodbath is in the offing, whether Barak loses- or God forbid- wins!
Many Anglicised Jews in the UK, have changed from their old names to Englih names, but, with -er on the end of the surname. Maybe this is some code between themselves.
The Rockefeller family, founded by John D. Rockefeller (1839-1937) ("Senior") and his brother William Rockefeller (1841-1922), is an American industrial, banking, and philanthropic family of British-French-German-American origin that made the world's largest private fortune in the oil business during the late 19th and early 20th century, primarily through the Standard Oil Company. The family is also known for its long association with and financial interest in the Chase Manhattan Bank, now JP Morgan Chase.
The name is an Americanized version of the German Rokkenfelder or Rockenfeller, meaning from Rockenfeld. This indicates the latter origins of the family, which can be traced back to the villages of Ehlscheid, Segendorf and Fahr, (all suburbanised to Neuwied). These are neighbored to the small settlement of Rockenfeld - part of Neuwied's quarter Feldkirchen. In Germany, the version Rockenfeller is known as a family name.
However, it is sometimes stated that the Rockefeller surname originated from the Roquefeuille, from the region of Limousin, France. If true, that may explain why they were located in the Midwest, where most of the French immigrants settled. This New France, which consisted of 15 states north of Louisiana, was home to more than 150,000 Frenchmen and women in 1803 when Louisiana was sold to the USA. In France, the version Roquefeuille is also known as a family name. Back in the 16th century, French nobles were Protestant and fled the absolutist Catholic regime to go to Germany. They dispersed throughout the German kingdoms and Switzerland. This is generally the favored version of historians to explain the ultimate roots of the Rockefeller name. The name may also come from the "Roquefeuil", a Catholic family from the region of Languedoc (France).
Mayer Amschel Rothschild was originally Mayer Amschel BAUER. That there is a German name. He was not poor, he was a goldsmith. The banking houses were GERMAN. Is is any wonder that now Germany is going to be the world SUPER POWER.
Helloo, all roads lead to Germany. Nothing Jewish there (I'm not Jewish). This was a front. Just look at the word Asheknazi Jews, the word NAZI is right there for all too see!! Wake up you guys. What benevolent being in their right mind would choose one race/child as better than another? Probably only the Devil himself. What man made/written nonsense have you's allowed yourselves to fall for? Generational brainwashing, which in this day an age you have no reason to perpetuate!!
I Chronicles verse 6-5 The sons of Japeth were GOMER, Magog, Madai, Javan Tubal, Meshech and Tiras.
Someone was suggesting that the Ashkenazi Jews were German because it ends in Nazi. The Germans came from Peleg who according to Freemasonry was the architect of the Tower of Babel he is buried in Prussia which at one time was part of Germany. Shem in German is spelt Schemm.
It was prophesied that Japheth and Shem would share the same tent which is Europe.
Japheth is east Europe and Shem is Western Europe. Ham went to Egypt and is known in Greek mythology as Hermes. None of Noah's descendants were colored, not even Cain the grandson of Ham.
I have too converted to Christianity but for fear of my life, I will say from which religion (but you probably know).
I'm not ashamed at all to shy away from Islam or Judaism. There are so many things that Jews and Muslims have in common, it is so ridiculous. A major problems Muslims have is to explain what Kafer means or a so called "nonbeliever." What constitutes a nonbeliever? Well, many Muslims really believe that every but them is a Kafer. Hey but so do the Jews!
What the heck? Another religion that says only the followers of it are cleansed?
These two religions need to be re-evaluated very seriously.
How about when Islam, like in Afghanistan, prevents people from using mirrors or even from watching T.V.! What the hell is going on?
Christianity, specifically the King James Bible version of it, is the only sect that believes there is no Judgement Day and this is a huge difference that all other Christianity sects, not to mention Judaism and Islam. Hm…………. yes, Christians are some of the best people on the face of the earth… but Judaism and Islam are ruining it!
At the bottom of the article, you state that the Rockefellers aren't Jews but stooges.
There are in fact Crypto Jews.
Are Indo Aryans allowed in this group?
We originated the concept and don't care for Jews all that much either?
Issue with Shem and Aryan.
While Shem is found in the Bible, the term as well as Aryan have more to do with philology. In other words, the root stem of most words in language that originate with Indo-Europeans as opposed to those of Middle Eastern language groups. Stating this, it had nothing to do with ideaology.
The background of the name of Rockefeller as found in Genealogy is as indicated usually from the place of origin. Whether there are Jews amongst the Rockefellers, there probably is, most Germans are mischlings, including the French. After all, Germany, France, Belgium, etc. these are nations, and ethnicity only comes after the fact.
Nazi only has to do with the party, which was the "National Sozialistische Deutsch Arbeiter-Partei" (National German Workers Party).

The following sent to - - - - 649 - - M.P.'s - - - - - House of Commons.
Pictet & Cie Bank –Partners –(1996—2010)-liable.
Another one of it's managers Nicholas Campiche ( Now Head of Pictet – Alternative Investments.) concocted a letter pretending to be a client and closed his account. The senior partner (Ivan Pictet.) sought to have numerous documents destroyed, along with those copies held in their London office's of Pictet Asset Management.
Initially stating that they were forgeries then their lawyers Peters & Peters – Monty Raphael –and the barrister Charles Flint.Q.C. later had to admit in Court that the documents were genuine.
On Dec 9th, 2008. the complaint was sent to 150 Members of the House Of Lords and 230 Members of Parliament.
2 .5 years —- approx 2 .5 million e-mails - - - but still no writs, injunctions or threats of litigation - - - WHY - - - because it is all true.
The above sent to —— 312 - - Lords - - - House of Lords.
insert ( Pictet & Cie / Monty Raphael ) - - then try it on "Google".
Or try on Yahoo. - - - ( Charles Flint Q.C.) .
It has been noted that the book launch for PICTET was held at Lord Myners Belgravia home. We might as well have asked Ivan Pictet to investigate our complaint.-or someone from FRIENDS RE-UNITED.
The consensus of opinion is the Pictet & Cie should be prosecuted, and that their U.K. banking licence should be taken away.
According to Jewish author Stephen Birmingham's book "The Grandees: America's Sephardic elite" the Rockefellers are Sephardic Jews and are listed as such. Why not just take it from the horses mouth & their obvious Jewish appearances and accept it as a fact?
Ashkenaz is the grandson of Japheth and therefore not in the lineage of Israel.
I can´t add to the genealogical discussion about the Rockefellers. I´d like to add a few etymological hints that made sense to me.
Hesse (Hessen) is a state in the Federal Republic of Germany and it's capital is Frankfurt.
"Roggefeller" (spoken Rokkefeller in English) in specifically the Hessian German dialect means exactly "rye fields." That would make sense to me as a name of German origin. The Rothschild (Amschel Bauer) family came from Frankfurt / Hesse. Today the European Central Bank is in Frankfurt (eurOTOwer & OTO).
Further the Rothschilds had rented the "Hessian soldiers" to the king of England to fight in the US. Masses of impoverished, ignorant, sometimes starving people were used for that infamous purpose.
Also there is the Hesse-Cassel family, generally suspected of being among the Illuminati founders. It is said that Count Knigge and St. Germain worked together in that initial project. I'd speculate, it's possible an originally good intent was then hijacked by dark-siders as has happened countless times in human history.
The Zionist/Freemason "German" (traitor) politicians (with their ostensible yarmulkas) may well be regarded as dangerous NWO conspirators.
When communist Jews executed tens of millions of White Russians, then the perpetrators are publicised as "Russians." When Jewish conspirators come from Germany, it was of course "the Germans." When Jews were dominating the slave trade, it was blamed on "the Western people" (-Whites). Only when they are (supposedly) victims are the Jews actually Jews.
Whenever Jews were victims, the real (bad) Pharisees (in contrast to "the Jews") always exploit it to their own political advantage.
In the five years some 6-7million e-mails have been forwarded to all Members of Parliaments in Britain and Switzerland, every barrister and chambers in Europe. Every law enforcement body in both countries, and America. Even raised in Parliament twice.
The legal fraternity decided that Monty Raphael of Peters & Peters, London became an honourable Queen's Counsellor, and to rub the salt in six months later made a Master of the Bench. He also was guilty of all the above offences, but so what? At this rate he might become King by the end of the year.
The police ( West Yorkshire Police ) headed by Sir Norman Bettison has not improved as a force on fighting crime. They are now worse than the days of the Yorkshire Ripper, when they had him in custody nine times and let him go. If it hadn't been for the South Yorkshire Police force catching the Ripper he would have still been at large to day.
Even after five years of exposing their crimes on the internet , they dare not take legal action to stop us — no injunctions — no writs — they can't risk going to jail.
All we can do is to continue pressing for justice and up the pressure on the internet. For the next five years and beyond.
2003 — FSA — States rogues operating in Pictet's –London Office . Ivan Pictet said documents were forgeries but were lated proved to be genuine. Had documents held in London office destroyed.
2007 — Japan. —- The Securities and Exchange Surveillance issued a recommendation that the Prime Minister and The Commissioner of the FSA to take disciplinary action against Pictet Asset Management. Japan Ltd.
2012.— Geneva Bank Pictet used in Offshore Tax Scheme. U.S. Authority states.
Rockefeller is most certainly a crypto-Jew. His real name is Rokenfelder !!!
Lawyers. — we cannot promise you'll get justice but you will get the law. We are getting neither.
The Problem. — the following are supposed to be whiter than white.
Lawyers. - Peters & Peters.-London.— Monty Raphael. Q.C.
Bankers. - Pictet& Cie.-London- Switzerland.— Ivan Pictet.
Government Institutions. F.S.A. - Financial Services Authority.
Police. - Sir Norman Bettison. and numerous West Yorkshire Police officers –guilty of crimes.
We were fobbed off in 2005 by the FSA when we pointed out some fifteen shortcomings in their regulatory and legal obligations in dealing with the banks.
Along came RBS and all that followed. Banking chaos — completely out of control. Brought the country to its knees.
Our dealings with Law Enforcement bodies at all levels showed the same arrogance — we are the law we protect our own — bugger Joe Public — bugger the laws we are paid to enforce.
Monty Raphael Q.C. — too clever by half — in conjunction with his client the notorious Pictet & Cie. Swiss Bank — decide to leave out / destroy crucial documents requested under a High Court Order.
None of the above pillars of society will take me to Court and say I'm telling untruths, I keep on hoping.
Google — Ivan Pictet. Banker.

**** We can now state that all the above have been removed from their posts. All three facing criminal allegations.
A book overlooked by most people and published for sale mainly within the Jewish community states that the Rockefellers are Jews of Sephardic descent (meaning Spanish and Portuguese Jews). The book is entitled "The Grandees - America's Sephardic Elite." The author is Stephen Birmingham, who is recognized by the Jewish community as an expert on Jewish history.
The publisher of "The Grandees" is the Jewish owned publishing firm of "Harper and Row" of New York City. Mr. Birmingham also wrote the book "Our Crowd" about the family background of America's wealthiest and most successful Jews.
Both books have been hailed by Jewish publications as first class works in the documentation of Jewish history.
That book weighed 10 pounds and gave the history of 25,000 Jewish individuals in America. It is extremely interesting to note that only 550 copies of the book were printed and each copy was consecutively numbered.
The book was delivered to the top Jewish community leaders in America for their personal reference files in dealing with and contacting Jews who are "Marranos" (those Jews who "PRETEND" to be Christians in their community but secretly hold to their Jewish faith and race when among their own kind).
Many centuries ago the Jews flooded into Spain in great numbers and through usury and stealth became vast land owners. The Jews controlled both Spain and Portugal through their monopoly over the finances of the country.
The grandfather of our former Vice-President Nelson Rockefeller, admitted that his family once moved from Turkey to France. It was from France that they moved to America.
John D. Rockefeller, Sr., was a wealthy man even before he took over Standard Oil Co., which made their family one of the richest in the world. No one has ever explained how this family came into such wealth as soon as they arrived in America from France.
There is no known information on how the Rockefellers came into huge amounts of money in France. Some think they got their money from the Rothschilds and were originally their agents in buying up Christian businesses in America.
"Marranos" are Jews who "PRETEND" to convert to Christianity so as to deceive Christians in their business dealings, but secretly continued to practice Judaism in private rituals.
For this reason, a Marrano family like the Rockefellers would make the perfect tool for the Rothschilds of France who have for centuries used secret agents to carry on their work.
"The Thunderbolt" was the first publication to bring Vice-President Nelson Rockefeller's Jewish ancestry to public attention. This information finally explains why he has always been able to work so closely with Jewish interests and why his administration as governor of New York was loaded down with Jews from top to bottom.
His political campaigns of the past were always directed by Jews and he was always the support of the Jewish community in all of his political races.
Normally the Jews would not support a Christian multi-millionaire for political office because they would be afraid they could not control him after the election.
The fact that Jewish community leaders have long known that the Rockefellers were fellow Jews goes a long way in explaining why the organized Jewish community has always supported the Rockefeller's political ambitions. Now we can see why Nelson and David Rockefeller boosted his fellow Jew Henry Kissinger into the Nixon administration and Kissinger in turn has used his position to bring his fellow Jew Rockefeller into power.


Two 30-year old men including the father who wanted to sell his son in order to get money for the burial of his mother were Wednesday arraigned in Iyaganku Magistrate Court, Ibadan. The names of the accused were given as Haruna sule and his friend Abdulfatai Quadri.

Q: MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter configuration is not being recognized in spring boot 2 I am working with spring for a while already and in my spring boot 1.5x's projects always dealing with  the LazyInitializationException with the next configuration (more downstairs) but now I am creating a new project with spring boot 2 and the same configuration is not being recognized further than WebMvcConfigurer now replace to the deprecated WebMvcConfigurerAdapter.
My configuration:
