First written for Canadian Dimension.
While attending a recent international conference in Sweden devoted to "Holocaust remembrance and combating antisemitism," Justin Trudeau took the opportunity to put forward his views on political extremism. He deplored the role of social media in "enabling harmful content like hate speech" and expressed dismay that "some of the most open, liberal democracies in the world" are "seeing a rise in intolerance."
The host government for this conference issued pledges that included the promotion of the infamous IHRA definition of antisemitism. Given this emphasis on a document that is widely used to falsely conflate Palestine solidarity with the promotion of anti-Jewish hatred, it is perhaps not entirely surprising that Trudeau was ready to take a creative approach in considering the question of 'extremism.' He told his audience that "We see the organizations of extremist groups on the far-right and the far-left that are pushing white supremacy, intolerance, radicalization, promoting hatred, fear and mistrust across borders but within borders, as well."
It is likely that Trudeau would have some difficulty identifying left-wing organizations that are "pushing white supremacy" and, were this just a question of his shortcomings as a political theorist, these remarks would be of no great importance. However, this readiness to equate hate-filled racists and fascists with those who want a society free of exploitation is more than cloudy thinking on the part of the prime minister. Sadly, such accusations are far from unique and examples of this approach are easy to find.
Last year, for example, it was reported that the British government's "independent adviser on political violence and disruption" would be conducting an "investigation into the extreme fringes on both ends of the political spectrum." This adviser, Lord Walney, suggested that there was evidence of those on the left "overstepping the mark into antisocial behaviour." His view was entirely in line with the thinking of the home secretary, Priti Patel, who had earlier described environmental activists in Extinction Rebellion as "so-called eco-crusaders turned criminals." She presented the civil disobedience tactics they had employed as "a shameful attack on our way of life, our economy and the livelihoods of the hard-working majority."
Targeting the left
We shouldn't be surprised if the zeal to contain the far-right is more than matched by eagerness to move against the left. Trudeau's comments raise many of the same issues as did the decision of his government, at the beginning of this year, to designate the far-right Proud Boys a "terrorist entity." I was among those who, at the time, suggested that calling for the use of anti-terrorism legislation was a big mistake. Without for a moment supporting any supposed 'right' of fascists and hate-mongers to spread their poison, I suggested that such legal initiatives (and state repression) were far more likely to be directed against the political left and working-class resistance than to be wielded against the right with any consistency.
The ugly antics of the Proud Boys and others like them, came to a head at that time because of their role in the Capitol Riot. Certainly, the forces the erratic and dangerous Trump set in motion at that time greatly alarmed the US establishment and some fairly decisive action was taken by police and prosecutors. However, even in the midst of a crackdown on the far-right, we see evidence of the state's instinctive sense that the real threat comes from the left. Recently, a judge in Florida sentenced Daniel Baker, an anti-fascist activist, to 44 months in federal prison, as The Intercept reported, for "social media posts that called for armed defense against possible far-right attacks on the state's Capitol in the wake of the January 6 riots."
Baker, who had already spent 10 months behind bars, had been arrested for putting up some rather unwise social media posts. However, he "never brought a weapon near a government building; he amassed no armed anti-fascist forces; he made no threats on a single individual." This can be compared to a January 6 defendant who drove to Washington with guns and ammunition and sent texts threatening to shoot Nancy Pelosi in the head, yet he only faces a sentence of between six months and two years. As a representative of the People's Law Office put it, "Dan's case speaks volumes about how the state represses the left much differently than it treats the far-right."
In a host of ways, the Capitol Riot drove home the close relationship between state security forces and the far-right. Following the riot, 35 Capitol Hill police officers were investigated for their role in the disturbances "at least 21 US Army and law enforcement personnel were present at the riot." The paramilitary Oath Keepers, who were very much part of the action, claim "tens of thousands of present and former law enforcement officials and military veterans as members." Nor would anyone who has participated in protests against fascist organizations in Canada find this very surprising. They will have seen first hand a level of bias that results in the police acting, in effect, as a security detail for the far-right.
The far-right
In the last few years, the far-right has taken great care to adopt approaches that will enable it to obtain a hearing beyond its immediate political base. From support for the building of oil and gas pipelines to merging with anti-vaxxer protests, the fascists have found ways to operate in a wider political context and to blur the line between extremism and mainstream conservatism.
This assumed frightening proportions during the Trump presidency, when the far-right was emboldened and inspired by the occupant of the White House and found an audience for its hateful views among the very large base of rightward moving supporters of the Republican Party. However, much the same process has unfolded here, with the disturbing growth of the so-called People's Party of Canada (PPC). This party has openly fuelled anti-immigrant sentiment and very deliberately allied itself with the coronavirus denying right. Its leader, Maxime Bernier, has brushed off his many well calculated photo-ops with open white supremacists and the PPC has become "a gathering place, where those who have broken with mainstream conservatism but whose ideas are still in flux, can have political contact with those on the far-right who have completed the journey." It bears emphasis too that the PPC emerged out of the right wing of the Conservative Party. Bernier was a very serious contender for leader of the party and his views resonate unmistakably in both its parliamentary ranks and its support base throughout the country. Erin O'Toole's recent efforts to strike a more moderate pose notwithstanding, the 'mainstream' Tory Party has its own continuing history of links to the far-right.
The readiness to include the left in any crackdown on political extremism and, indeed, the tendency to focus on the left more fixedly than on the far-right, is not simply a question of reactionary police attitudes or a readiness to blur lines on the part of the conservative right. There are very real reasons why even a liberal capitalist politician like Justin Trudeau would see left wing "extremism" as an existential danger to everything he cherishes.
In the end, the racism and violence of the far-right, while they may be problematic and inconvenient, are not directed against the fundamental interests of the capitalist class. The left, on the other hand, even if it uses the most peaceful and democratic methods, is challenging systems of exploitation and sources of profit. If this goes over to an effort to create a society based on equality and collective ownership of productive capacities, the progressive pretensions of people like Trudeau go out the window and the lines are starkly drawn.
This is a time of very considerable crisis with the need for bold and radical initiatives by working class movements. Whether workers take strike action or people take to the streets to demand that the needs of their hard-pressed communities be met, we can expect efforts to suppress such struggles. We may also expect efforts by the left to encourage and sustain such social resistance to be considered by those in power as, to borrow a phrase from the British home secretary, "a shameful attack on our way of life."
Trudeau's comments to the Swedish conference were as revealing as they were dangerous. The struggles for justice that the left takes up must never be compared to the poison that comes from the fascist right. We must reject and challenge this false equivalence powerfully and without hesitation.

Assab or Aseb (Tigrinya: áá°á¥?, Ê¿Asäb; Arabic: عصب) is a port city in the Southern Red Sea Region of Eritrea. It is situated on the west coast of the Red Sea. Languages spoken in Assab are predominately Afar, Tigrinya, and Arabic.
Assab is known for its large market, beaches and nightlife. It is served by the Assab International Airport.
In 1989, Assab had a population of 39,600 inhabitants. It possesses an oil refinery, which was shut down in 1997 for economic reasons. Nearby is the site of the ancient city of Arsinoe
In 1869 it was bought by the Rubattino Shipping Company from the local Sultan.It was granted to Ethiopia in addition to Massawa and the rest of Eritrea in 1952 when Eritrea was federated with Ethiopia.
The port facilities were greatly expanded in the early 1990s, with the construction of the new terminal, but the port has declined since trade with Ethiopia was terminated in 1998 as a consequence of the Eritrean-Ethiopian War.

Sustainable investment objective
This information relates to the Stewart Investors Asia Pacific Leaders Sustainability Fund, Stewart Investors Asia Pacific Sustainability Fund, Stewart Investors European Sustainability Fund, Stewart Investors Global Emerging Markets Leaders Fund, Stewart Investors Global Emerging Markets Sustainability Fund, Stewart Investors Indian Subcontinent Sustainability Fund, Stewart Investors Worldwide Leaders Sustainability Fund and Stewart Investors Worldwide Sustainability Fund (the "Funds")
The Funds listed above and shown below seek to achieve long-term capital appreciation by investing in companies which both contribute to, and benefit from, sustainable development, achieving positive social and environmental sustainable outcomes.
Positive social sustainability outcomes include the enablement of improved health and wellbeing; access to income-generating and enterprise opportunities; fair employment and workplace safety; access to education and learning opportunities; communication and access to information; financial inclusion; sustainable transport and mobility; better access to housing, water, sanitation and electricity; and social inclusion and reduced inequality.
Positive environmental sustainability outcomes include more careful, efficient and productive use of natural resources; reduced waste and improved waste management; the wider adoption of circular economy practices and measures; the adoption of renewable and cleaner energy technologies; reduced greenhouse gas emissions; reduced water, air and other environmental pollution; a slowing in the rate of land degradation, land use change and loss of forests and biodiversity; and measures and technologies that enable climate change adaptation and resilience.
The Funds only invest in companies that are sustainable investments which contribute to a social and/or environmental objective. The contribution of the Funds' investments to the social and environmental objectives are assessed by reference to two framework indicators – the Investment Manager's human development pillars and Project Drawdown climate change solutions.
Human development pillars
The Investment Manager has determined 10 broad pillars which they believe encapsulate the essence of human development and which can be mapped to companies. Each investee company must be contributing in a tangible way to at least one of the following pillars:
- Nutrition
- Healthcare and hygiene
- Water and sanitation
- Energy
- Housing
- Employment
- Finance
- Standard of living
- Education
- Information
Climate change solutions
Project Drawdown is a non-profit organisation, founded in 2014, which has mapped, measured and modelled over 90 different solutions to global warming, with the ultimate goal of reaching drawdown – i.e. the point in the future when emissions stop increasing and start to steadily decrease. Each Fund investment is mapped by the Investment Manager against the c.90 solutions (which are captured in eight broader solutions of Buildings, Circular economy / industry, Conservation / restoration, Energy, Food system, Human development, Transport and Water). The Investment Manager's focus is on whether the companies themselves are making a meaningful contribution and will have meaningful involvement with the delivery of any of those solutions. Where the companies in which the Fund invests do contribute to any of the solutions, they will be involved in making products and delivering services directly, or by enabling/supporting those solutions.
These frameworks, alongside the Investment Manager's own bottom-up analysis, lean on measurable and reportable outcomes as evidence for determining a company's meaningful contribution to sustainable development.
Meaningful company contribution:
- Demonstrates a clear link to the underlying issue and solution, including whether the contribution is direct or enabling/supporting.
- Is relevant for the company either as a revenue/growth driver, as strategic initiatives backed by research and development or capital expenditure, or a function of strong culture or behaviours and 'how they do things' e.g. for equality and diversity.
- Recognises negative impacts from the company, including contradictions and risks of perverse outcomes.
How did the sustainability indicators perform?
Companies can contribute in many different ways to a better future for people and planet. To align with their bottom-up investment approach, the Investment Manager provides descriptions on their website, via their interactive Portfolio Explorer tool, on how they believe each company is contributing towards sustainable development.
Users can explore the stories of individual companies organised by the diverse contributions they make including towards human development pillars and climate solutions. This information is updated on a quarterly basis.

Contributions are defined by the team as demonstrable contributions to any solution, either direct (directly attributable to products, services or practices provided by that company) or enabling (supported or made possible by products or technologies provided by that company). More information is available on the manager's website - stewartinvestors.com/all/how-we-invest/our-approach/portfolio-explorer.
Sustainable investment means an investment in an economic activity that contributes to an environmental or social objective, provided that the investment does not significantly harm any environmental or social objective and that the investee companies follow good governance practices.
Sustainability indicators measure how the environmental or social characteristics promoted by the financial product are attained.

Chicago Tribune
Dr. F. H. Martin and Julius Rosenwald Two Chicago Members.
On Board President Wilson's Special, Harrisburg, Pa., Oct. 11. — President Wilson tonight announced the appointment of members of the advisory commission to be associated with the Council of National Defense created by congress at the last session.
At the same time, he gave out a statement saying he hoped the council will "become a rallying point for civic bodies working for the national defense."
The seven members of the new advisory commission named by the president tonight are:
Daniel Willard, president of the Baltimore and Ohio
Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor.
Dr. Franklin H. Martin of Chicago.
Howard E. Coffin of Detroit.
Bernard Baruch of New York.
Hollis Godfrey of Philadelphia.
Julius Rosenwald of Chicago.
The president's statement follows:
"The Council of National Defense has been created because congress has realized that the country is best prepared for peace. From an economic point of view there is now very little difference between the machinery required for commercial efficiency and that required for military purposes.
"In both cases the whole industrial mechanism must be organized in the most effective way. Upon this conception of the national welfare of the council is organized, in the words of the act, for 'the creation of relations which will render possible in time of need the immediate concentration and utilization of the resources of the nation."
"The organization of the council likewise opens up a new and direct channel of communication and cooperation between business and scientific men and all departments of the government, and it is hoped that it will, in addition, become a rallying point for civic bodies working for the national defense.
"The council's chief functions are:
"1. The coordination of all forms of transportation and the development of means of transportation to meet the military, industrial, and commercial needs of the nation.
"2. The extension of the industrial mobilization work of the committee on industrial preparedness of the naval consulting board. Complete information as to our present manufacturing and producing facilities adaptable to many sided uses of modern warfare will be procured, analyzed and made use of.
"The personnel of the council's advisory members, appoint without regard to party, marks the entrance of the nonpartisan engineer and professional man into American governmental affairs on a wider scale than ever before."

Getting a divorce in Tulsa
Tulsa County requires participation in FIT program
For an overview of general considerations and state law (such as residency requirements, venue for filing, and grounds for divorce), please see "Divorce in Oklahoma," which also relays authorities' warnings about domestic violence and includes online resources to help with domestic violence in Oklahoma.
Domestic violence links
In Tulsa, including Tulsa County, helpful links include:
- OKDHS list for Tulsa (includes other cities, too–scroll down to "Tulsa");
- Day Spring Villa (women and children's shelter).
County court resources
Unfortunately, the Tulsa County Court is not very generous with online divorce information, posting merely that:
- Requirements for filing an uncontested (waiver) divorce: 3 [copies] -Petitions, 3-Entry of Appearance and Waiver, 3-Decrees of Dissolution of Marriage.
- There are no forms available in the family relations division. These forms may be obtained from an attorney or other public sources within Tulsa County.
- Waivers must have been signed, acknowledged, and filed at least one (1) day after filing the Petition.
Booklet from Families in Transition
However, Families in Transition provides a .pdf booklet, "Divorce: What's Going to Happen to Me?"–prepared as a "cooperative project of a group of legal, judicial, and mental health professionals." There's no separate URL for the booklet; click on the link in the upper left corner of the FIT homepage. The booklet provides a thorough discussion, especially for those who are in the early stages of contemplating a divorce action. The authors dedicate much discussion to the mental health aspects of divorce, both for the adults involved but also for any children who might be facing trauma. One highlight: "Seeking help from a mental health professional during this process does not mean you are mentally ill or unbalanced. Everyone experiences, to varying degrees, stress-related symptoms from a divorce. Utilizing professional help during this can be an invaluable aid to coping more effectively with your individual circumstances." They also provide a list of symptoms that may indicate children need professional counseling.
Children living out of state present special circumstances
Beyond the state residency requirements, special rules may apply to a divorce involving children. For instance, says the booklet, "If your children have not been living in Oklahoma for the last six months, or a court action has been filed in another state concerning divorce, custody, or visitation, then you should seek the advice of an attorney."
FIT program required
Those divorcing in Tulsa County are "required to participate in a program called 'Families in Transition' or 'FIT.' The FIT program was created to help families have better access to the court system. FIT encourages parties to reach an agreement, especially in situations where children are involved. In FIT, when a divorce petition is filed, a hearing date will be set for both parties to appear before a judge. Just as in other divorce proceedings, the defendant must either be served with a copy of the petition or must sign an acknowledgment that he or she has received a filed copy of the petition. However, in Tulsa County, the defendant must also be served with a FIT packet. The court clerk will give the FIT packets to the plaintiff when the petition is filed."

President Barack Obama implicitly criticized Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign and the Democratic Party's tactics during a press conference on Monday, arguing that a national press strategy isn't enough to win an election in today's political climate.
In his first press conference since last week's election, Obama was asked what he thinks his party should do to rebuild after Clinton's loss to President-elect Donald Trump.
"I believe that we have better ideas," Obama said of the Democratic Party. "But I also believe that good ideas don't matter if people don't hear them."
Obama continued: "Given population distribution across the country, we have to compete everywhere. We have to show up everywhere."
While current vote tallies show Clinton with a wide lead in the popular vote, Trump walked away with the Electoral College victory thanks in part to his message resonating in states like Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. In the days since the election, many critics of Clinton's campaign have argued the Democrat didn't do enough to lock down voters in those states, particularly those who supported Obama in 2012. (For example, Clinton did not personally campaign once in Wisconsin during the general election.)
While Obama did not explicitly mention Clinton or her campaign's ground game, he did draw a comparison to his own success in Iowa, a state that sided with Trump.
"I won Iowa not because the demographics dictated that I would win in Iowa. It was because I spent 87 days going to every small town and fair and fish fry and VFW hall," he said. "So the challenge for a national party is how do you dig in there and create those kinds of structures, so that people have a sense of what it is that you stand for. And that increasingly is difficult to do just through a national press strategy."
He said he was optimistic that Democrats could rebuild the grassroots strategy that worked for his own campaigns.
"I think the discussions that have been taking place about how do you build more grassroots organizing, how do you build up state parties and local parties and school board elections you're paying attention to, and state rep races and city councils races, that all, I think, will contribute to stronger outcomes in the future."

A new year's letter to Santa
Dear Santa,
You must think it is kind of strange to be getting letters this early in the year. Actually, I started out writing resolutions for a whole set of different people and organisations. (I try to avoid making resolutions for myself, I never keep them anyway). Then I started thinking that they probably don't pay any attention to New Year's resolutions either. So, I decided to write to you.
They say the saint you got your name from was a real miracle worker (he saved women from lives of prostitution and children from slavery). I figure it will take a few miracles and probably the whole year to get me the things on my list. So here goes.
Let's get real about child protection
First, the children. (You knew I was going to start there, didn't you?) Of course, you know about all that happened in 2009, so I won't go over that again (although I must ask you to see if we can get the report of the Armadale enquiry before Christmas 2010!).
Santa, can you please get the people who are always making noise about our children, especially about the children who are in homes and institutions, to be more specific about what is needed? They talk a lot about how badly children are treated but they don't say very much about how to fix the problem (except, of course, to call on 'government' or 'parents' to stop failing in their responsibilities).
For example, do you think you could get them to investigate how much the workers in children's homes are paid and how many hours a day they work? (Since it's mainly women who work in these homes, I suspect they work long hours for low wages). They could throw in an examination of the level and type of training these workers have received. Then they could make some useful recommendations about staffing levels, qualifications and salaries.
While we are on the subject, do you think you could get one of these groups who love to criticise the Child Develop-ment Agency and the Office of the Children's Advocate to take a close look at the resources they have been given to do their work? In fact, if it isn't too much of a strain, I would love to see them do an analysis of the national budget in terms of what percentage of the little bit of money the government has is actually being spent on protecting and improving the well-being of children.
They can ask Dr Michael Witter at University of the West Indies to help them; he has a method for doing this. Then they can educate the rest of us, so we can add our voices to the chorus of those critiquing government spending. Why should only economists, trade union leaders and private-sector bosses have a say about what the Government does with our taxes?
Could you also get the churches which run quite a few children's homes, some of which are not exactly examples of the right and the good, to take a critical look at their own operations? Perhaps they could get more of their members involved and take some of the load off the shoulders of the State. (Of course, many of the professionals in the system will have to learn how to make effective use of volunteers). While we are on the subject of children, do you think you could get me a copy of the current National Youth Policy? I have tried but it's a rather elusive document, so I would appreciate your help.
Poor people deserve more respect
Santa, I know you have a lot of other wish lists to deal with and this next item might be hard to find, but do you think you could find a way to get those in authority to treat poor people with more consideration and respect? It is so obviously lacking in big and small ways.
Take the work being done along the road to the Norman Manley airport, for example. There is a small group of men who have been selling coconuts at the side of the road on the approach to the 'Air Jamaica' roundabout for years. Many weary travellers have quenched their thirst at this spot. The site is kept clean; there are no piles of coconuts husks, empty bottles or other debris.
Did anybody in the City Engineer's Office even think about the effect that constructing a barrier along this stretch of roadway would have on the lives of these men? Of course, somebody is going to tell me that they are protecting the stretch from erosion. But how much would it have cost to have created a lay-by so that we could have allowed these men to continue to earn a decent living, deal with the environmental considerations and not create a traffic hazard? If we are so concerned about the environment, why aren't we pursuing the protection of habitats like the Cockpit Country or the heritage of Falmouth with the same amount of vigour?
Then there is the issue this past week with the vendors outside the market in Ocho Rios. The market is filthy, so they sell on the outside (creating another health hazard). Two wrongs don't make a right, but why wait until a couple of days before a major holiday, a time when these women and men are most likely to make some money, why wait until then to bring in the special constables to clean up the place? You see what I mean about a lack of consideration, Santa?
I don't see the parish council bringing in the wrecking ball and bulldozer when a developer breaks the rules and puts whole buildings where they shouldn't be. I have yet to hear about even one manufacturer being prosecuted or closed down in recent times for discharging untreated effluent into Kingston Harbour or the Black River.
Santa, truth be told, this is the tip of the iceberg. If I can give you just one more example of the problem: that is the way the so-called powers that be seem to think that improving the quality of life of the poor, be they working or unemployed, is mainly about crime prevention. It seems that almost every programme targeting inner-city communities is funded under one anti-crime initiative or another. But how many young people are graduating from the training programmes that are organised and yet are still encountering limited job prospects, despite their excellent performance and the good intentions of the programme organisers?
In another context, in the last 10 years, how many permits have been granted to build yet another hotel with no provision for worker housing, even though one reason for all this expansion is the jobs it will create? Then we act surprised at the explosion of unplanned housing and worry about the threat this will pose to the tourist industry. Of course, no one hears the communities' pleas for improved roads until someone is murdered while trying to navigate the potholes. Not even this yields the desired road repairs, however.
rewire brains
So, Santa, do you think you could somehow rewire these policymakers' and planners' brains so they pay attention to what is happening to the majority of people and not just the same small (other adjectives deleted) group that they usually do?
Well, Santa, you can see why I made up my list early this year. This is going to be a tall order to fill and I haven't included all the things I want. By the way, I don't mind if you don't get it all done in 2010, just show me that you have made a start. That will be enough to keep hope alive. So best wishes and good luck, Santa, I think we will need it.
Yours truly,
Peta 'I still believe in miracles'

Increasingly, we move in the direction of "Internet of Things"; Objects that have wireless connectivity, long memories, and the ability to "learn" your behavior so you get exactly what you need around the house just when you need it. The smart thermostat is probably the best example, and the ZSTAT wants to make it accessible to everyone.
Smart thermostat, Smarter house
The basic idea is, well, an intelligent thermostat. You install ZSTAT in your home, launch the app, and have it start to track your temperature usage. Since it gets WiFi on board, and gets wired into the network for obvious reasons, you are able to control everything from your phone. And needless to say, it's an API for third-party software.
Back-up sensors
Another nice touch is that the ZSTAT provides backups for all your important home sensors, which, you know, keep you alive. It contains a smoke detector and a carbon monoxide detector, standard. True, you should still have both installed in your home; It is a requirement of code and it is important to have these sensors placed in certain areas for safety. You really want to detect the carbon monoxide before it fills your house on your chest, after all. But it's good to have that redundancy, especially if you're forced to use battery power to run these detectors.
Be smart
The key attraction of the ZSTAT, about the fuses, the cost: The IndieGoGo campaign is the ZSTAT at less than half the price of the most popular intelligent thermostat that offers the nest. And if you need decor fitting, it comes in white, aluminum and stainless steel, though, really, it's not the color you're paying for. If you've wanted a smart thermostat but did not want to spend Nest to get one, that's finally the product for you.

When you come back with a mechanic report that says you need an expensive auto repair, you're probably left wondering whether it's something you need to take care of right away or something you can put off. These questions will help you figure out where your repair need lies. How Severe Is the Problem? Figuring out how bad the problem actually is will be your first step. For example, you find out that a part is not working correctly.

Has the excitement of getting a driver's license and your first vehicle led to you driving around a lot? It is important to have a plan in place in the event that your vehicle gets stranded, or if you get into an accident. You must be prepared for any situation that you might face, which can be done by keeping a few things inside of your vehicle. For instance, a vehicle can stop working when you least expect it, so you might want to keep contact information inside of your vehicle of someone that can quickly assist.

Few vehicles are more iconic than classic American muscle cars. Sure, classic cars don't offer the same level of refinement and performance as most contemporary sports cars, but that doesn't matter — there's something undeniably soulful about a high-displacement carbureted V8 engine roaring as you floor the throttle on an open road. The problem is that classic muscle cars are several decades old, so they've seen more than their fair share of wear and tear.

If you have recently purchased a motor home and intend to take long family vacations across the country, then you probably understand that your new camper requires special maintenance. This is especially true when it comes to the care of the black water or sewage tank that holds solid toilet wastes. Without proper care, a leak can form in the tank or an opening can form around one of the wastewater valves.

govmates Partners with ATI to Support Non-Traditionals
Oct. 5, 2021 (SUMMERVILLE, S.C.) – Advanced Technology International (ATI) is proud to launch the Innovation Resource Hub, the first-ever ecosystem of resources dedicated to helping non-traditional defense contractors succeed in federal R&D. ATI has partnered with govmates, the premier teaming partner platform for government contractors, to create the offering for all ATI-managed consortia.
The Innovation Resource Hub includes access to the govmates matchmaking platform, as well as a plethora of resources and support to common challenges for non-traditionals and small businesses, such as: access to capital, cyber and supply chain security, infrastructure support, legal and intellectual property rights, human capital, mergers and acquisitions support, and more.
With 23 active collaborations spanning various technology areas, ATI is adding to its suite of services offered to more than 3,700 collective consortia members.
"ATI is excited to join forces with govmates in launching the Innovation Resource Hub. The platform will offer a suite of services focused on supporting non-traditional contractors to better serve their federal Government clients," said Chris Van Metre, President and CEO of ATI. "The ATI and govmates strategic partnership will enhance collaboration opportunities and foster teaming among consortia members and other companies seeking to expand their business into the government contracting market."
The govmates matchmaking platform facilitates formulaic and methodical teaming introductions in support of federal contracts. With more than 29,000 matches and 5,600 teaming and procurement introductions across a membership of 4,500 non-traditionals, the govmates platform equips ATI consortia members with more capabilities to win government projects through greater visibility among government, industry, and academia.
"govmates chose to partner with ATI, because ATI shares our core values of ethics and collaboration," said Katie Bilek, Co-Founder and Partner of govmates. "Together, we're accelerating impact and supporting the continued evolution of innovation in support of the U.S. government."
The partnership demonstrates ATI's deep commitment to supporting the innovation community to help solve our nation's greatest technological challenges. Both ATI and govmates are united in bringing forth the best and brightest technology providers of all backgrounds to deliver innovation that saves lives, enables the warfighter, and diversifies the industrial base. By leveraging the resources of ATI – the pioneer in R&D collaboration management – with the technology and agility of govmates, the federal government will receive more national security solutions to meet its mission-focused needs.

It's funny and if you don't write, you'll not understand this- you have to be in the mood to write. The thoughts have to be with you, the feeling has to be there.
I wrote a bit about this incident on Facebook, just a bit. The thing is between this meeting and the ten days or so after I have had some fantastic days. I have met wonderful people.
On 27th August, 2015, I received an email from a man who is working in University College Dublin asking me if I had ever photographed the grave of Lord Castletown. I checked and replied on the Friday telling him that I had his name in my index but would check my folders on Monday.
On the Sunday, I was driving down the road and slowed down to pass a man who had a dog walking in front of him. Just after I had passed the man, the dog stepped out in the road, turned himself round to face my car and I stopped driving. The man caught up to me, I rolled down my window, said "Lovely dog" and he laughed and asked me what was wrong with my arm. I was wearing a brace, so I told him. We laughed – he asked if I was in a hurry and suggested I could pull over so we could have a chat. Can't say why – just in our few words, this man was very interesting. I pulled over, we chatted.
Then, he says "Your mother" and I say "but I never gave you my name" – he replies "Your mother was Dr. Lyons" – and so she was. As our conversation progressed, I told him that I transcribe gravestones and Mam used to tell me I was mad. He said "You know about the Lord Castletown gravestones then don't you?" I laughed and said "A man contacted me about them this week" isn't that a coincidence?
I gave him my phone number and went off where I was on my way to. Coming back later that evening I was thinking I hadn't asked him his name – and then – there he was on the road again and I pulled up again. This time, I got into his jeep and he drove me to the graveyard showed me exactly where the gravestone is, and I finally photographed Lord Castletown's grave.
In the few weeks that followed, thanks to the meeting of this man and his dog, I was introduced to some information on the Second Baron Castletown (by another man I met in the last few weeks). I had known nothing about Lord Castletown other than he had lived in this area and I have photographed Granstown Castle which belonged to him. He was actually a very interesting man. Some of the following comes from an article published(18th–19th – Century History, 20th-century / Contemporary History, Issue 6 (Nov/Dec 2007), News, Volume 15.)
Lord Castletown kept a 14ft python in his rooms until it nearly killed a chambermaid! He served as an ambulance worker for the Red Cross society in the Franco German war and working in a Typhus hospital.
The most interesting thing to me, is that he married Ursula Clare Emily St Leger (d. 1927), only child of the fourth Viscount Doneraile, in 1874. She had an ancestor who was the only Irish Lady Freemason Mrs. Elizabeth Aldworth (nee St. Leger).
Years ago, I had 'chased' a box of books at an auction because in that box was a book all about the only lady Freemason! I did manage to buy the box of books and have to say that while the 'story' was very interesting the book was not an antique or old book, it was a reasonably modern booklet. I had been really very interested in Freemasonry.
Lord Castletown served in the 4th Battalion, Leinster Regiment, as lieutenant-colonel and honorary colonel. He was decorated for his heroism in the Egyptian campaign and was a vigorous army recruiter for the first world war, for which he was too old to fight in. He was High Sheriff of Queen' County (Laois) in 1876, had a good relationship with his tenantry.
A friend of Douglas Hyde he gave financial assistance to the Gaelic League and formed the short-lived Celtic Association to foster Celtic culture. Conversant with Irish, he learned the language on holidays in Connemara.
He died on the 29th May 1937, aged 88 and is buried in Killermogh, Ballacolla, Co. Laois.
The man who wrote making the enquiry about the gravestone wrote the following to me:
"this description in his autobiography Ego, describing his involvement with the Celtic League:
Mr. Fournier evolved the idea of having a granite stone divided into six nationalities, with the idea that wherever a meeting was held the stone should be put up, and when standing was emblematical of peaceful proceedings. Each piece had the initial letter of the country it belonged to. The stone now stands in front of my house at home, and will, I hope, be placed by my grave in Killermoogh churchyard."
The 'stone' was made up of six blocks, however there are only 5 there now. The six members of the Celtic Association were Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Brittany, Isle of Man and Cornwall. There is a letter to represent each country on each block and then on the side of each block there is ogham script.
This article while it is about Lord Castletown, it is probably more about the man and the dog because if I had not met that man I would simply have written back to the man who made the enquiry telling him that I did not have a photograph of this gravestone. I knew nothing about Lord Castletown and the significance of these blocks would not have dawned on me.

By Sayer Ji
Contributing writer for Wake Up World
A remarkable case report documents a 14-year old girl who, after 34-months of chemo, radiation and bone marrow transplant treatments, was given up for dead. Her family discovered research on cannabis extract, and before she died of a secondary complication of her original treatment, used it successfully to put her leukemia into remission.
There are plenty of anecdotal reports of the successful use of cannabis in treating cancer, but few cases occur under conventional medical supervision, and virtually none make it into a peer-reviewed biomedical journal as a case report. Remarkably, however, just such a case was reported in Case Reports in Oncology in 2013, and involved a 14-year girl diagnosed with a form of cancer of the white blood cells known as acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).
Despite a high remission rate for ALL after 5 years of 94% in children and 30-40% in adults using conventional combination chemotherapy, this particular child was diagnosed with a very aggressive (i.e. conventional treatment resistant) form of ALL (positive for the Philadelphia chromosome mutation).
After undergoing a protracted series of unsuccessful conventional treatments over the course of 34 months – including a bone marrow transplant, aggressive chemotherapy and radiation therapy — the girl's case was pronounced "incurable", with the patient's hematologist/oncologist stating that she "suffers from terminal malignant disease", expecting her condition to progress rapidly towards death.
Because the family received no other suggestions for treatment beyond palliative care, they decided to do research on their own, stumbling on a paper published in Nature Reviews: Cancer in 2003, titled "Cannibinoids: Potential Anti-Cancer Agents", which encouraged them to administer oral cannabinoid extracts to the patient. According to the case report:
The family found promise in an organization known as Phoenix Tears, led by Rick Simpson who had treated several cancers with hemp oil, an extract from the cannabis plant. Rick worked with the family to help them prepare the extract.
With Rick Simpson's assistance, the family used cannabis oil extract for the next 78 days, with regular monitoring of the blast cell count, the primary indicator of the malignant progression of the disease process.
The figure below shows the successful suppression of the blast cells using cannabis extract.
Clearly, the cannabis extract was effective at inhibiting the uncontrolled proliferation of the girl's leukemia, without the highly toxic side effects of conventional treatment.
Sadly, however, on day 78, the 14-year old passed away as a consequence of bleeding associated with bowel perforation, and ultimately the lasting adverse effects of the original 34 months of aggressive treatment she had underwent previous to cannabis.
In the discussion portion of the case report, the authors noted,
The results shown here cannot be attributed to the phenomenon of 'spontaneous remission' because a dose response curve was achieved… These results cannot be explained by any other therapies, as the child was under palliative care and was solely on cannabinoid treatment when the response was documented by the SickKids Hospital. The toxicology reports ruled out chemotherapeutic agents, and only showed her to be positive for THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) when she had "a recent massive decrease of WBC from 350,000 to 0.3" inducing tumor lysis syndrome, as reported by the primary hematologist/oncologist at the SickKids Hospital.
The study authors believe this therapy should be viewed as "polytherapy", owing to the fact that a wide range of cannabinoids have been found within resinous extract, which demonstrate a variety of anti-cancer properties, e.g. anti-angiogenic, anti-proliferative, etc. They further acknowledged the potential for the profound superiority of cannabinoid therapy to conventional treatments:
It must be noted that where our most advanced chemotherapeutic agents had failed to control the blast counts and had devastating side effects that ultimately resulted in the death of the patient, the cannabinoid therapy had no toxic side effects and only psychosomatic properties, with an increase in the patient's vitality.

Preparing Your Home for a Seller's Market
As you prepare for the adventure of selling your home, there are certain tips to follow to ensure you entice potential buyers and get offers that excite you to sign on the dotted line. Oftentimes, because we've been living in our homes for years, we overlook little details that potential buyers may be looking directly at. Following these tricks of the trade will ensure your home is ready to sell quickly allowing you to move on to your next purchasing journey quite seamlessly.
Make necessary repairs
This one seems like a no-brainer when it comes to getting your home ready to sell, but don't overlook the small stuff. Patch up any holes in the wall, replace any broken windows, clean the gutters and ensure there are no leaks in your roof. Buyers are extra particular when it comes to checking for repairs, especially if they are not the fixer-upper type.
Clean up the exterior
The outside of the home is the first thing that potential buyers see when pulling into the driveway for the first time. Make sure that your landscaping is up-to-date, and your lawn is mowed neatly. A clean appearance sets others at ease almost instantly. A messy exterior can give potential buyers the impression that you are slacking off and immediately push them to question whether you are neglecting the inside of the home too. Create trust with a clean exterior. Bonus points if you clean up garden beds, prune the shrubs and replant window boxes to keep everything in tip-top shape. Curb appeal is key, even to potential buyers.
Depersonalize and neutralize
Everyone's style is unique. If your home is over personalized with bright wall colors, custom wall hangings and eclectic furniture, consider switching things up and toning it down a bit. While some unique features may be considered selling points, an overabundance of personal style may become off-putting to some. Creating a color palette that is inviting and neutral will attract and retain more potential buyers. The wider the range of buyers, the better the options you have when accepting an offer.
Organize closets and storage spaces
Potential buyers will scan your house meticulously. Ensuring all areas, including closet spaces and storage rooms (such as an attic or basement) are organized is key to a successful showing. This tactic also helps with personal privacy as numerous potentials are scouring through your belongings to see if your spot is the one for them. If you notice, while organizing, that you have a lot of excess clothes, belongings or furniture that you'd rather keep out of the house during the showings, consider renting a temporary storage unit to safely house your things.
Clean the interior from top to bottom
This seems like common sense, I know, but it's something that can be overlooked with all of the other checkboxes on your home selling list. Vacuum and shampoo carpets and shine wood floors. Dust ceiling fans and tops of cabinets. Deep clean countertops, appliances and bathrooms. Make sure your house looks pristine for your potential buyers. Afterall, you want them to love the place as much as you did when you purchased it, right?
Preparing your home for a successful sale takes a lot of work and planning, but it's worth it to find buyers who pay the price tag. Pay attention to the details within your home and set it up to sparkle. You want your home to stand out from all the others that they may be looking at, so following these simple, yet effective ideas will knock your home out of the park. Need a bit of extra guidance on your current home's condition along with ways to get it ready for sale? Contact me today! I would love to walk you through the process to sell your home.

Liverpool University Host the Launch of the Brilliant Club Which Involves 12 of Our Year 10 Pupils
This week, twelve Year 10 pupils attended the launch of The Scholars Programme, which is run by the Brilliant Club. These pupils have been identified as having the potential to make a successful application to one of the most selective universities. Although university may not be for everyone, The Scholars Programme aims to give children an experience of university learning to help them make an informed decision. They achieve this by mobilising the PhD community to share its academic expertise with state schools. The pupils will now embark on a series of tutorials with a PhD student looking into the world of Cyber Security. To graduate they will be required to complete a 2000 word essay working at KS5 level. Congratulations to all involved!

What do you do when you have little cravings? You must fill them! You have a Treat Day! I know what you're thinking (or not), this isn't healthy! I beg the differ. I know that you're worried about getting carried away. However, once you get a taste of what you're craving, you'll be satisfied.
If you ignore your cravings just because vegan is equated with healthy, boring and bland, it will set you up just as it does for omnivores for an all out pig out fest that goes way beyond what you originally intended. So if there is a vegan equivalent of your craving, have at it.
Enticing packaging. Look, it's even telling me to "savor it". Look at the picture on the package calling me. Gardein Lime Crispy Fingers. Okay, so it sounds like something you'd have for a Halloween party. Still, think of all the possibilities. For now, we'll follow the instructions on the package to get started. You just don't know how much I hate (yes, hate is a strong word) to follow rules. It's not in my vocabulary, yet I'll do my best. We lay each one out for a trip to the oven for their tans, ha ha ha. I couldn't resist.
And how does it taste? If you did not know any better, you would think it was the real thing. Honestly, that is seriously scary. How does Gardein do it? First off, it has texture and taste of real chicken. The spiciness of the chipotle peppers comes through quite strong. This would work well with avocados or cucumbers and radish in a taco salad. Hell, just put it all in there with a creamy tofu perilla leaf sauce. Yes. we will make that another time.
Those donuts from earlier came from Whole Foods and yes they are vegan. One is a creme filled donut like a Boston Creme filled donut which are round or a Long John which is rectangular. However, it's really more of an éclair because it has a creme filling and topped with icing. Long Johns do not have a filling. Yet, when you are having a craving who cares what it is called, right?
Next time, I will get a green drink. Balance.

Financial and Estate Planning for Young Professional Parents: 7 Key Considerations

Kinetically it's hard to imagine an experience less like typing than riding a horse. But for millennia horses were the best way to move; then highways, now superhighways. When the internet and I were millennial adolescents I thought riding and typing were the best ways to be free.
Real freedom is always specific and spasmodic, which is why forums were the best part of the old web.
On horses you could fly until you got or fell off. On forums you could do anything that occurred to you, inside tiny parameters, until you logged off. My favorite was a Something Awful-esque destination I can't bring myself to dox, populated by people with obsessions I didn't much share—my obsession was with them.
Like most pleasures it was a problematic mess. Motives were murkier before money and power really dripped in, distilling the virtual; personal stakes were nailed low around an intricate Versailles of daedal inside jokes. Now everyone lives inside the algorithmic-slick blues of the monosites and sometimes when scrolling them I think about the heat death of the universe: the chill of the totally quantified. Of the primary colors, #996633 is mainly red. It's dirt, skin, things alive. It's my old mare's coat and the smallest unit in American change, which was also her name.

Stage 4: Čiovo – Trogir
Distance: 20,8 km / Ascent: 600 m+ / Descent: 625 m- / Start: Church Lady of Prizidnica / Finish: Trogir
Seen from Split or Trogir, Island of Čiovo looks very tame, but on the south side, high cliffs plunge into the sea. Right there, in the middle of the cliffs, is the start of Stage 4. The race will start from medieval monastery built for hermits back in the 16th century.
From there the trail leads toward eastern cape of Island Čiovo, from where you can see the city of Split and its surroundings. The trail goes by the sea and climbs somewhat above the shore after few kilometres. Most of the time the view is opened northwards, toward mountain Kozjak, and after a while it reaches a small village called Žedno. In Croatian Žedno literally means "thirsty". Since the island is without permanent water source, back in the past it was critical to secure enough water for the whole year round. That's why in Žedno you can find many water cisterns with big, flat surface around for collecting rain. Close to Žedno the trail passes by medieval church of St Mavar. The legend says that locals started to worship this saint when his painting drifted in nearby bay.
Shortly after St Mavar, the trail will lead you to beautiful viewpoint of town Trogir, protected by UNESCO as world heritage site. It is like an open air museum whose cathedral, churches and monasteries, palaces and narrow streets attract people from all over the world. Since the accommodation is near Trogir, you can spend more time exploring this unique city. Finish line of stage 5 is right in Trogir, on the promenade.

"[This volume] addresses memory and cultural transformations from an eastern point of view… [and] illuminates very different aspects of the problems Eastern European researchers face identifying national crossroads of diverging memories and the necessity of coming to terms with a surfeit of memories which had not hitherto been publicly articulated or acknowledged." · European History Quarterly
"The various contributions to this book highlight why the joint enterprise of creating and reconciling memories between Eastern and Western Europe remains a complex undertaking that escapes straightforward answers. Yet the search for answers is valuable and stimulating. The reader is invited to travel to locales which, while not terrae incognitae, reveal themselves in new and fascinating ways." · Helga Welsh, Wake Forest University
In studies of a common European past, there is a significant lack of scholarship on the former Eastern Bloc countries. While understanding the importance of shifting the focus of European memory eastward, contributors to this volume avoid the trap of Eastern European exceptionalism, an assumption that this region's experiences are too unique to render them comparable to the rest of Europe. They offer a reflection on memory from an Eastern European historical perspective, one that can be measured against, or applied to, historical experience in other parts of Europe. In this way, the authors situate studies on memory in Eastern Europe within the broader debate on European memory.
Małgorzata Pakier is Head of the Research Department at the POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews in Warsaw. Her publications include The Construction of European Holocaust Memory.

The Status of Namo His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III as the Highest Leader of Buddhism in the World Is Not Self-Conferred
The Buddha status of Namo His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III is not an appellation used by Buddhists for expressing respect. Rather, that resulted from the recognitions conducted by the Dharma kings, regent Dharma kings, and eminent monastics who have the authority of recognition according to the recognition system of Buddhism. Among these Dharma kings, regent Dharma kings, and eminent monastics are Dharma King Dodrupchen who is the sole holder of the Dharma of highest rainbow-body accomplishment, Dharma King Penor who was the third supreme leader of the Nyingma Sect in the world, Dharma King Achuk who is currently the foremost great virtuous one in Tibet, Dharma King Gongbao Dumu Quji who is the Yidam Dharma initiation master of the seventeenth Karmapa, Dharma King Jigme Dorje who is the supreme leader of Jonang Sect in the world, Dream-yoga Dharma King Mindrolling Trichen who is the master of Dalai Lama, Dharma King Trulshik, Dharma King Taklung Tsetrul, and Dharma King Chogye Trichen who are another three masters of Dalai Lama, the supreme leader of Sakya Sect Dharma King Jigdal Dagchen Sakya, Regent Dharma King Shamarpa who is the master of the seventeenth Karmapa, Regent National Master Gyaltsab who is the sutra-teaching master of the seventeenth Karmapa, and others. They are all first-rate eminent monastics and greatly virtuous ones representing various sects and schools in the Buddhist circle in the current world. Each of them separately wrote their own official letter of recognition or corroborative recognition with the authority of recognition of Buddhism for Namo H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III.
Due to the very large number of written recognitions and corroborative recognitions received by Namo H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III that has far exceeded the number of recognitions for any leader, patriarch, or rinpoche through the history of Buddhism, there is no way to list all these documents here. Please find and read them from the internet (please click the link below to get more information about Recognitions & Congratulations to H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III: https://dharma-hhdorjechangbuddhaiii.org/recognitions-congratulations-to-h-h-dorje-chang-buddha-iii%EF%BB%BF/
The recognitions and corroborative recognitions from these Dharma kings are not only made by written documents. Many of the recognitions are also accompanied by photos and videos recording the live scene at the time. According to the recognition system of Buddhism, once recognized by two Dharma kings, Rinpoches, or lamas who have the authority of recognition, the status of the recipient is definitively established. However, with the evolution through history, many people have had their status established in the Buddhist circle just for being recognized by one rinpoche who possesses the authority of recognition. As an example, the fourteenth Dalai Lama, whom people are very familiar with nowadays, only received one recognition from the fifth Reting Rinpoche alone. Also, the seventeenth Karmapa received two recognitions only. Moreover, these one or two recognitions were received from within their own Buddhist sect.
However, the situation was completely different in the case of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III. H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III received more than 100 recognitions and corroborative recognitions, and thus has become the first person who received by far the largest number of recognitions and corroborative recognitions throughout the history of Buddhism. Moreover, the recognitions and corroborative recognitions are not from a single sect of Buddhism but are written certificates of recognitions and corroborative recognitions promulgated by the leaders of the major sects representing the entirety of Buddhism. The identity having been recognized by them is not the status of a rinpoche, but is the status of Buddha (Vajradharra). Vajradharra is the highest holy being of the entire Buddhism. Buddha is the highest leader of entire Buddhism.

Nine Patch Place Mats
Over the last week or so I designed quilting for seven place mats made from Nine Patch blocks. I thought it would be interesting to put all seven together to compare them.
This always happens when you are designing. The first attempts are never the best. But if you don't do them you never get to the best.

When you start your Genesis G90, the airbag module runs a self-diagnostic check on all its major systems. If any of these checks fail, you will see an airbag warning light on the dashboard.
Depending on the model year and what country you happen to be in, you may get something along the lines of SRS, a picture of a person with the airbag deployed, or the word airbag. All of these should be treated as the airbag light.
The number one reason that an ABS System fails is problems with the belt and seat sensors.
How the Airbag System Works
Airbag System Components
Here are the main components of your Genesis G90's airbag system and how they work.
- Passenger Airbag Switch– Some vehicles are equipped with a manual airbag switch for the passenger seat that can be turned on and off with the key. Most have a sensor under the front seat that weighs the occupant. If they aren't heavy enough, the passenger airbag will not deploy in a collision.
- Clock Spring– The clock spring is a coil inside the steering wheel that connects the electrical components of the steering wheel to the rest of the vehicle (including the airbag).
- Airbag– Your car's airbag is released by a chemical explosion. It can inflate the bag in 30ms. Here's a detailed video on how an airbag system works.
- Sensors- Your G90's airbag module takes data from the wheel speed sensors, brake pressure sensor, seat pressure sensors, seat buckle sensors, gyroscopes, and a sensor that tries to detect if you're in a crash (often referred to as the MEMS sensor).
How it Uses These Components
The airbag control module will use the data from the sensors listed above to deploy the airbags when necessary.
Airbag Light Diagnosis
The airbag light comes on because your Genesis G90's airbag control module has failed a self-diagnostic cycle, which means there will be codes stored that'll tell you why the light came on.
The catch is not every OBD II scanner can pull airbag-related codes. So you'll either have to take your G90 to a shop to have them read or pick up a quality scanner.
Here's a great five-minute video showing how to pull the codes and diagnose the airbag light.
Here is a complete list of airbag fault codes.
Genesis G90 Airbag Light on Causes
While a scan tool can quickly fix your car's airbag light, there's still some anecdotal evidence you can use to help you narrow down the causes.
If your Genesis G90 has been in an accident, the airbag light will stay on until the system has been fixed. Here are some common reasons your G90's airbag light could come on.
1. Seat Belts
Safety belts are still the most critical safety feature in the event your G90 crashes. Modern vehicles have sensors running to the seat belts to let the computer system know if they are buckled and locked up.
If you have a seat belt stuck in the lock position, it might be why your airbag light is on. See if you can tug at it and get it moving.
With your G90's engine running and in park, sit in each seat and buckle the belt. If one of the sensors doesn't tell you that a seat belt has been unbuckled when you get up, that's likely your culprit.
2. Seat Sensors
The wiring harness under the front seats shorting out is perhaps the most common reason the airbag light comes on.
If the seatbelt light doesn't come on when someone isn't wearing a belt in the front, it's either the wiring harness under the seat or the seatbelt sensor that is at fault.
The seat sensors tell the airbag system that the seat is occupied. Some older vehicles have a manual button to turn the passenger airbag on or off.
Look under the seats to see if you can find any part of the wiring harness that has come dislodged or damaged. This is a very common reason why the airbag light comes on.
3. Clock Spring
The clock spring connects your G90's steering wheel controls, horn, and airbag to the rest of the car. When it fails, the airbag light will come on.
4. Airbag Failure
If your G90's airbag system is not getting a response from one of the airbags in the diagnostic cycle, it'll turn the airbag light on until the problem has been fixed and the system has been reset.
5. Airbag Module /Sensors
Your G90's airbag system control unit may have failed. If this is the case, you can have it replaced or send for a new one. This often happens whenever you get into a fender bender that doesn't deploy the airbag.
One or more crash sensors may have been triggered, but not enough to deploy the airbag. The airbag sensors can also fail and throw the airbag light on if there is water damage. This is one of the reasons why it is not wise to buy a car with flood damage, even if it looks like it is otherwise fine.
6. Not Reset After Deployment
If your G90's airbag has gone off and been replaced, the airbag system needs to be reset. It won't work until the airbag system has been reset or you send the module to someone who can do it for you.
Frequently Asked Questions
How Do You Reset The Genesis G90's Airbag Light?
You can reset it by fixing the fault in the airbag system. After that, your car's airbag light should turn itself off.
Is it Safe to Drive Your G90 with the Airbag Warning Light On?
It is not as safe to drive with the airbag light on. Airbags have saved countless lives since their invention. If you drive with your G90's airbag light on, you are relying solely on the seat belts to keep you safe, which carries a higher risk of serious injury.
What Does the Airbag Light Mean?
The airbag light indicates that at least one component of your G90's airbag system has failed a self-diagnostic cycle, and the airbags will not deploy in the event of a collision.
Your Genesis G90's airbag system is complicated. There can be a lot of different reasons why the airbag light may have come on. Most of them should be left to a professional.

Authorities say a boy allegedly abducted in a custody dispute two years ago has been found alive, hidden behind a wall at his grandmother's southern Illinois home.
Franklin County authorities found 6-year-old Richard Chekevdia on Friday in a small room hidden behind a wall in Diane Dobbs' rural home.
The boy's mother, Shannon Wilfong, is charged with felony child abduction. Dobbs is charged with aiding and abetting.
Wilfong disappeared with her son in 2007 and was charged with kidnapping, though she couldn't be found.
Illinois State Police Master Sgt. Stan Diggs says the boy is in good spirits and very social, talkative and polite.
He's staying with his father's relative, under supervision of state child-welfare workers.
