The most common cause of hammertoe is a muscle/tendon imbalance. This imbalance, which leads to a bending of the toe, results from mechanical (structural) changes in the foot that occur over time in some people. Hammertoes may be aggravated by shoes that don?t fit properly. A hammertoe may result if a toe is too long and is forced into a cramped position when a tight shoe is worn. Occasionally, hammertoe is the result of an earlier trauma to the toe. In some people, hammertoes are Hammer toes inherited.
Wear sensible shoes. If you don?t want to have surgery to fix your hammertoe, use non-medicated padding along with proper shoes made with a wider and deeper toe box to accommodate your foot?s shape. Ensuring your shoes have a good arch support can slow the progression of the condition as well. Use a pumice stone. The corn or callus that forms Hammer toes on top of the hammertoe can cause discomfort when you wear shoes. Treat the corn by using a file or pumice stone to reduce its size after a warm bath, then apply emollients to keep the area softened and pliable. Use silicone or moleskin padding on top of the area when wearing shoes. Do foot exercises. Theoretically, exercises like extending, then curling the toes, splaying the toes, and moving the toes individually may help prevent the digital contracture that causes hammertoe. Try these suggestions and see what works best for you.
SymptomsMany people do not experience symptoms in the early stages of bunion formation. Symptoms are often most noticeable when the bunion gets worse and with certain types of footwear. These include shoes that crowd the toes and/or high-heeled shoes. When symptoms do occur, they may include physical discomfort or pain. A burning feeling. Redness and swelling. Possible numbness. Difficulty walking.

In this novel, first published in 1998 and then in 2006, martinican female writer Nicole Cage-Florentiny portrays a young woman, Malaïka, who seeks refuge in madness to escape the turmoil of her life. She is under the yoke of harsh living conditions including societal conformism which, according to Fanon, provokes the « existential deviation » (1953 : 31) of the individual. Despite all, Malaïka advocates a society that would integrate all its members and promote equality. C'est vole que je vole aims at brushing Martinique's ability to display a sound socialization. The author aims at offering a criticism of her society and at denouncing some of the neurotic tendencies that are likely to impair social cohesion and the personal development of the individual. Doing so, Nicole Cage-Florentiny grants a large importance to the individual that is strictly opposed to the collective group of society.

The State of Ohio is home to 88 county courthouses, 12 District Courts of Appeals, one Supreme Court, two United States Federal District Courts, and the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. In fact, there are hundreds of official courthouses in Ohio, including local municipal, mayoral, and special claims courts. From marriage ceremonies to homicide trials, Ohio's federal and state court complexes serve a variety of municipal functions and are the epicenter of criminal justice. Serious criminal offenders, parents locked in heated domestic disputes, and grieving friends and family traverse Ohio's halls of justice each day.
Emotions run high in courthouses, and desperation has led to the fatal conveyance and use of firearms in courtrooms. Weapons may be used to aid in an offender's escape, injure a judge, threaten an accuser, or harm oneself after a verdict. In 2005, Columbus police captured a fugitive couple after they killed a law enforcement officer with a smuggled firearm and escaped a Tennessee Courthouse during sentencing. The emotional and criminal nature of most judicial proceedings has led Ohio to ban the possession, conveyance, and use of firearms in Ohio courthouses. The illegal conveyance of a deadly weapon or dangerous ordnance into a courthouse/court building (Ohio Code § 2923.123) is a felony, and even law enforcement officers are regulated.
Ohio Information Center for Charges of Illegally Conveying a Deadly Weapon into a Courthouse (Ohio Code § 2923.123)
Some gun owners unintentionally enter a courthouse with their holstered weapons. Those summoned for jury duty, filing paperwork, or simply delivering office supplies may not think twice about carrying their weapons over the threshold. Unfortunately, courthouse security officers have no way of determining motive, and firearms owners may face criminal charges for illegally conveying or possessing a weapon in a courthouse. For general questions concerning Ohio's courthouse weapons regulations, consult the Joslyn Law Firm's Information Center for Charges of Illegally Conveying a Deadly Weapon into a Courthouse. If you've been charged with illegally conveying a weapon into a courthouse under Ohio Code § 2923.123, schedule your free criminal defense consultation with the Joslyn Law Firm's experienced Ohio firearms defense lawyers today by calling (614) 444-1900 or contacting us online.
The Restrictions Governing Conveyance, Possession, and Transportation of Deadly Weapons into an Ohio Courthouse or Court Building
Necessary Proofs for Illegal Conveyance Charges Under Ohio Code § 2923.123
Statutory Exceptions to Illegally Conveying a Deadly Weapon into a Courthouse
Defenses to Illegally Conveying a Deadly Weapon into a Courthouse
Direct and Collateral Penalties for Illegally Conveying a Deadly Weapon into a Courthouse
1. The Restrictions Governing Conveyance, Possession, and Transportation of Deadly Weapons into an Ohio Courthouse or Court Building
Ohio Code § 2923.123 states that no person shall knowingly (1) convey, (2) possess, and/or (3) control a deadly weapon or dangerous ordnance in a courthouse or a building or structure in which a courtroom is located. Conviction requires prosecutors to prove both the actus reus – physical act – of conveying, possessing, or controlling a weapon into/in a courthouse and the mens rea – mental state – of conscious awareness. The possession, conveyance, and/or control must be of a "deadly weapon" or "dangerous ordnance" and occur within the boundaries of a courthouse or another building or structure in which a courtroom is located. In Ohio, deadly weapons are defined as any instrument, device, or thing capable of inflicting death and either designed, adapted for, possessed, carried, or used as a weapon. The term "deadly weapons" includes:
Firearms such as handguns and shotguns
Unloaded firearms
Inoperable firearms if they can be easily rendered operable
The term "dangerous ordnance" means:
an automatic firearm
a sawed-off firearm
a ballistic knife
incendiary devices
highly explosive chemicals such as nitroglycerin, TNT, or dynamite
military-grade weapons such as rocket launchers, grenades, bombs, and the ammunition for the same
mufflers or suppressors
any combination of parts to assemble a deadly ordnance
By prohibiting the conveyance of all deadly weapons and dangerous ordnances, the statute is prohibiting any and every type of firearm into an Ohio court building. Official courthouses are established by a combination of federal, state, and/or local law. Ohio law dictates that each county must establish "a court to be known as the county court," and further establishes certain municipal courts. Each individual county, however, designates where the operative local courthouse is located. Local ordinances also set rules governing when and where court proceedings can take place outside of a county's designated courthouse. There must be some legal notice to residents that a courtroom exists, either permanently or temporarily, in a building that hasn't been designated as a court of record by statute or ordinance.
2. Necessary Proofs for Illegal Conveyance Charges Under Ohio Code § 2923.123
Provided the firearm was a "deadly weapon" or "deadly ordnance," and the building was a courthouse, prosecutors must prove the necessary actus reus and mens rea beyond a reasonable doubt. Actus Reus Necessary Under Ohio Code § 2923.123 The title of the statute might be "conveyance of deadly weapon or dangerous ordnance into courthouse," but the term "convey" is confusing.
The verb "to convey" has two generally accepted meanings:
(1) to transport or carry from one place to another or
(2) to transfer or deliver something to someone else.
Further, the term "convey" used to mean to steal or carry something away secretly, and statutes derived from traditional English law may use the term "convey" in such a manner. In light of the statute's title, the term "convey" likely criminalizes bringing a deadly weapon into a courthouse.
However, the Rule of Lenity applicable to the interpretation of criminal statutes in Ohio dictates that when the terms of a criminal statute have two or more meanings, the statute should be interpreted in favor of the defendant. An experienced Ohio gun rights defense attorney will argue for the most favorable interpretation of the statute's terms.
The term "possess" means to have and hold, and it includes taking control of another's firearm or having the firearm ready at hand. This can mean in a holster, purse, briefcase, or backpack. If the firearm is in some way connected to your physical person, you possess that firearm under Ohio Code § 2923.123.
For a weapon to be "under your control," you must control its possessor and/or access to the firearm. A weapon locked in your desk is "under your control." The same is true if the weapon is in a backpack placed against the nearest wall. The firearm is still within and under your domain of control.
Prosecutors may charge non-possessors or conveyors under Ohio Code § 2923.123 by arguing that the accused controlled the individual who actually possessed the weapon in the courthouse. An example would be using an elderly parent or child to smuggle a firearm into the courthouse. It can be argued that the child, and in turn, the firearm, were under your control when they entered the courthouse.
Mens Rea Necessary Under Ohio Code § 2923.123 – Willful Blindness and Forgetfulness Not a Defense Prosecutors must show that the conveyance, possession, or control of the weapon into a courthouse was "knowing." You cannot be convicted of illegally conveying a deadly weapon into a courthouse if the conveyance was unknowing or accidental and the mistake was reasonable. If a handgun is slipped into an attorney's briefcase without his knowledge, he is not guilty of illegally conveying a deadly weapon into a courthouse.
More commonly, those with no reason to know they'd entered a building with a courtroom do not knowingly possess the weapon in a courthouse. The exception to this standard is "willful blindness" or unreasonableness. If the offender "should have known" he was conveying a weapon and/or entering a courthouse, he is still guilty of conveying a weapon into a courthouse. "Forgetting" you had a handgun holstered before entering a courthouse isn't sufficient to defeat § 2923.123 charges because you holstered the weapon and are charged constructive knowledge of its location. The same is true if the courthouse is clearly marked, and a reasonable person should have known they were entering a court building.
3. Statutory Exceptions to Illegally Conveying a Deadly Weapon into a Courthouse
Ohio Code § 2923.123 exempts certain persons from its provisions provided the local rules of the court, rules of the Ohio Supreme Court, or a superseding statute don't impose more stringent restrictions. In the absence of additional local rules, this section does not apply to the following:
A judge or magistrate of an Ohio court of record
An Ohio peace officer such as a sheriff, marshal, university police officer, or transportation enforcement officer
An Ohio law enforcement officer, including any state or municipal police officer
An out-of-state or federal law enforcement officer or peace officer provided he or she is authorized to carry the weapon for job-related purposes and is operating within the scope of his or her duties at the time, i.e., firearm permitted if the officer is testifying about an investigation but not if he's summoned for jury duty
A person employed in Ohio provided he or she is authorized to carry the weapon for job-related purposes and is operating within the scope of his or her duties at the time
A person who is bringing, using, or conveying the weapon into the courthouse to act as evidence in a case, i.e., a defense attorney or expert witness
An Ohio bailiff or deputy bailiff during the scope of his/her official duties
A prosecuting attorney and/or her secret service officer as appointed by the county provided the weapon is necessary during the course of her official duties
The holder of a valid CHL (or active duty military member with paperwork) who immediately turns a handgun over to a court security officer for safe storage provided the courthouse specifically offers a handgun-storage service (check this before going to court as courts are not required to offer these services)
Always review the local rules of the county, county ordinances, and any applicable local policies before taking a firearm into a courthouse. An experienced Columbus, Ohio firearms defense attorney can review these policies to ensure compliance.
4. Defenses to Illegally Conveying a Deadly Weapon into a Courthouse
Disproving one of the above elements should result in acquittal of Ohio illegal conveyance charges, but certain common law defenses are also applicable to most criminal charges. These include self-defense, necessity, and duress, but because § 2923.123 criminalizes bringing the weapon into the courthouse, the defenses must apply to that act. For example, a witness who smuggled a deadly weapon into the courthouse and thereafter used that weapon to protect himself cannot raise self-defense in opposition to § 2923.123 charges. He was not defending himself from imminent harm when he crossed the courthouse threshold, and the defense is not retroactive.
Possible defenses to illegal conveyance charges include:
Mistake-of-Fact – A paralegal who believed the weapon was needed for evidence that day but was mistaken. If his belief was both reasonable and, if true, would have provided him authorization to possess the gun in the courthouse, he may be protected by this defense. Mistake of law is not a defense, i.e., mistakenly believing the prosecutor's staff qualified as a "prosecutor" under the law.
Necessity & Self-Defense – These defenses apply if the deadly weapon was brought into the courthouse and crossing the courthouse threshold prevented imminent death, serious bodily harm, or a greater wrong. For example, following an armed suspect into a courthouse to stop him or jumping through the courthouse doors to avoid a traffic accident. The harm must be "imminent." These defenses are not applicable if you believed the weapon was necessary for defense later in the day.
Duress – This defense is often raised when gang-related activity is present. The defendant's gang may threaten a loved one attending a criminal trial if he doesn't smuggle a weapon to the defendant. This defense is seldom applicable to firearms transportation, however, because aiding actions that could reasonably result in harm or death to another is not protected. Immediately turning the weapon over to law enforcement or court officials may protect the validity of a duress claim, but turning the weapon over to a defendant would not.
Insanity – If the offender's mental function prevented her from understanding she was in a courthouse, possessed a weapon, or that her actions were wrong or illegal. This is not the same as mental illness, as it requires true psychosis.
The availability of these defenses is dictated by the facts and circumstances of each case. Acquittal of Ohio firearms charges often turns on a single piece of evidence. An experienced Columbus criminal weapons defense attorney should review the firearms charges as soon as possible to maximize the defensive strategy.
5. Direct and Collateral Penalties for Illegally Conveying a Deadly Weapon into a Courthouse
Illegal conveyance of a deadly weapon or ordnance into an Ohio courthouse is a felony offense. The felony level depends on the offender's criminal history and the circumstances of the offense. Unless otherwise stated, illegal conveyance is a felony in the fifth degree. Fifth degree-felonies are punishable by up to a year in prison and/or up to a $2,500 fine. If the accused has been previously convicted under § 2923.123, he will be guilty of a felony in the fourth degree. Fourth-degree felonies are punishable by up to 18 months in prison and/or a fine up to $5,000. Judges have considerable discretion during sentencing and may also require offenders to:
serve probation
surrender their firearms (for violent felons or those adjudicated mentally ill/drug dependent)
attend alcohol or drug rehabilitation
pay restitution to any victims
participate in community service
pay the costs of prosecution
Those convicted of a felony-level offense may suffer additional social and/or legal consequences that aren't addressed at the sentencing hearing, including:
inability to own or use firearms (for violent felons)
loss of a job and/or inability to obtain meaningful employment
dishonorable discharge from the military
loss of certain government benefits
loss of child custody and visitation rights
Always retain an experienced and compassionate Ohio criminal defense attorney after being charged with illegally conveying a deadly weapon into a court building in violation of Ohio Code § 2923.123. This is always a felony, and the Joslyn Law Firm's top-rated Columbus criminal firearms conveyance lawyers are available 24/7 for a free, no-obligation criminal defense consultation at (614) 444-1900 or online.

We are sending you to our trusted partner
Day 1 - Arrive in Buenos Aires. Transfer to your hotel in the Palermo district
You will be met at the airport and escorted to your top-quality boutique hotel in the Palermo district by one of our local representatives. Palermo is a stylish neighbourhood of wide avenues lined with colonial mansions. The city zoo, the botanical gardens and racetrack are all here. Buenos Aires is an elegant, cultured and cosmopolitan city famed for its interesting museums and the fascinating port district of La Boca, with its cobbled streets and brightly painted houses. It was here that the tango was born, and Diego Maradona honed his footballing skills.
The centre of town is home to the colonial heartland, government buildings and churches, as well as chic shopping districts, which have a nostalgic Parisian feel. The bohemian quarter of San Telmo is full of quaint old houses interspersed with antiques shops, tango bars and classy restaurants. Slightly further out of the centre is the Recoleta district, even more evocative of the French influence, where Evita Perón was laid to rest.
Day 2 - City tour with a visit to Teatro Colón
Your guided city tour takes you along Avenida 9 de Julio, one of the widest boulevards in the world and studded by the Obelisk, an emblematic symbol of the city. Along this majestic highway is the 19th century Teatro Colón (guided tour included) which, in terms of its architecture and design, as well as its excellent acoustics, is considered one of worlds best. On to the Plaza de Mayo, enclosed on three sides by the metropolitan cathedral, the town hall and the Casa Rosada, the presidential palace. The tour continues to bohemian, arty La Boca, which was settled and built by Italian immigrants and has streets lined with brightly painted corrugated iron-clad houses. Visit the district of Recoleta.
Day 3 - At leisure. Dine at a live tango show.
At leisure in Buenos Aires. Stroll round Puerto Madero, the refurbished port district where former dock installations and features have been preserved alongside a string of excellent restaurants and loft conversions. Beyond the city limits, consider a trip across the River Plate to Colonia in Uruguay. Travel along a forest-fringed estuary, dotted with upmarket residences, to this peaceful little port, where you can wander among cobbled streets lined by colonial houses, or have a meal or drink in the yacht club.
Alternatively, venture into the watery delta to the small town of Tigre, set on the banks of the Luján River. Have lunch at one of the restaurants on the shores of the Río Paraná, while watching fisherman at work and river-craft gliding by. Evening guided visit to a tango show with dinner. The passage of time has given respectability to a dance once confined to the seedy underworld bars of the red-light La Boca district. Nowadays, a number of 'tango houses' offer a dinner and show as an evening out. Rojo Tango is located within the Faena, a chic and arty hotel in the regenerated docklands area of Puerto Madero. This intimate venue is very much in the style of an old cabaret nightclub with moody red decór.
Day 4 - Transfer to colonial estancia on the pampas
Transfer by road to Estancia La Bamba. This dusky rose-pink, colonial-style former post house, set in its own attractive parkland, is located 10 mins' drive from the small gaucho town of San Antonio de Areco. It projects a real feel for estancia history, harking back to more opulent times when they were the backbone of a thriving economy. Following its acquisition by French proprietors, it has been renovated to an extremely high standard, and now resembles a grand countryside chateau.
Public areas are cosy and crammed full of plush sofas and old artefacts, accentuating the country house ambience. There are open fires, four poster beds and large shuttered windows. Meals are taken around a common table, though you can request privacy if you wish. There's a lovely outdoor swimming pool (open in summer) with views over parkland and sun loungers, games room and small library. Activities include horse-riding, polo (experienced only), walking and carriage rides in the surrounding pampas. The estancia offers a peaceful wind-down to its guests, but does accept day visits by groups with entertainment laid on for them.
Two days at your leisure on the ranch and in La Bamba.
Day 7 - Transfer to Buenos Aires; fly to Mendoza in the wine-producing region
Transfer to Buenos Aires airport and fly to Mendoza in Argentinas wine country in the shadow of the eastern flank of the Andes, and continue to Cavas Wine Lodge. The celebrated vineyards in this region provide the perfect place to enjoy fine vintages and a superb gastronomic experience. Cavas Wine Lodge and small vineyard is situated 30km from the city. The main house remains faithful to Spanish colonial traditions. The cellar is stacked with dozens of Argentina's most notable labels and the kitchen uses locally produced olive oils, herbs and spices. Along with the outdoor sports facilities there's a small spa offering wine therapy treatments.
Days 8-9 - Visit wineries from your countryside lodge
At leisure at Cavas Wine Lodge. The property is ideally situated as a base to visit some of the region's finest private wineries including Catena Zapata, Chandon, Achaval Ferrer, and Fabre Montmayou. Your stay includes a visit to a different winery on each day and you can also take advantage of one of the outdoor sports on offer which include biking, trekking, horse riding and golf followed by a massage courtesy of the lodge, the ideal pre dinner aperitif.
Day 10 - Transfer to airport, fly to El Calafate and drive to luxury estancia
Transfer to airport and fly (via Buenos Aires) to El Calafate in Southern Patagonia (five hours), a small tourist resort with a frontier feel situated on the banks of milky turquoise Lago Argentino. Argentinas Patagonia is a remote land of endless grassy plains, granite mountain peaks tipped with eternal snows, turquoise lakes dotted with icebergs and immense blue-tinged glaciers. Continue by road to Eolo. This luxury estancia-style lodge (one of the Relais & Chateau portfolio) is unique in that it occupies land leased from a working farm, Estancia Alice. Designed to look like a large ranch house from the outside, it successfully combines the trappings of an estancia with the creature comforts, modern interior design and innovation of a first class hotel.
Days 11-12 - Activities at your Patagonian retreat
Guided excursion to Perito Moreno Glacier. It's an early morning departure from El Calafate to Los Glaciares National Park, a 90min drive to the walkways and viewing platform overlooking the glacier. The thundering shards of falling ice are a breath-taking spectacle as you pass at a safe distance along the walkway in front of the Canal de los Tempanos, which separates Brazo Rico from the main part of the lake. The glacier is a staggering five km wide and stands 60m above the surface of the lake. Its ice mass is fed by the southern continental ice field from the west, and from other smaller glaciers in the vicinity. In the afternoon, board the Safari Nautico or Moreno Fiesta for an hour-long cruise on the lake beneath the glacier, with a commentary. Alternatively, you can just walk and contemplate, away from the other visitors.
There's also a guided excursion to Estancia Cristina. This full-day trip explores the iceberg-strewn fingers of Lago Argentino. There are about 15 bumpy minutes as the comfortable motor cruiser crosses the southern arm of the lake. Soon, the first icebergs come into view as the boat continues towards the Upsala Channel and the vast Upsala Glacier. It isn't possible to get close to the glacier because of the floating ice in its vanguard but the surrounding scenery is wonderful.
Continue into the Cristina Channel, and dock at Estancia Cristina. Explore one of Patagonia's most remote historic estancias, established in 1914 by English pioneer Joseph Masters and named after his daughter. Some of the infrastructure was damaged by fire in 2009, but a guided tour will take you to its surviving buildings and museum. Have lunch before going on a 10km drive by all-terrain vehicle into the mountains to a refuge. Here, walk for half an hour to a viewpoint, offering - weather permitting - a fabulous panorama of the eastern side of the Upsala glacier, the Southern Patagonian ice cap, Lago Guillermo and - of course - the Andes. Drive back to the estancia and in the late afternoon, sail back towards Punta Bandera and your hotel.
Day 13 - At leisure
At leisure to enjoy Eolo's facilities or take one of a number of complimentary optional activities offered, such as hiking around the vast estancia grounds, mountain biking on the property's dirt tracks, walking on nature trails and bird watching. Horse riding may also be arranged locally, at additional cost. Or you can just sit, relax and contemplate the wonderful views and ever changing, often dramatic, Patagonian weather as from the comfort of the lounge with its comfy sofas and panoramic windows.

2021 Look Geo City Grip Vision pedals
Look Geo City Grip Vision pedals
by Emma Silversides
Mon, Jun 07, 2021 19:45
Unquestionable comfort and grip in all conditions, but whether the increased visibility is worth the extra is debatable
Grippy and stable
Added visibility for safety
Flimsy port cover
Small operation button
www.lookcycle.com
The Look Geo City Grip Vision pedals offer the same great level of grip and comfort for urban riding as the standard Geo City Grips, but in addition to the customisable platforms, the Visions come with four integrated LEDs to increase visibility. They're a great option for anyone putting in urban miles on any kind of bike, though they're quite a hike in price from the non-Visions.
If you prefer to ride in normal shoes, are keen to upgrade the pedals your bike came with, and improve your visibility on the road, all at the same time, these pedals might be just what you need. They feature the same wide base and double-sided, non-slip Vibram rubber platform as the Geo City Grip, but with the addition of four integrated LEDs.
As with the non-Visions Hollis tested, the platforms sit atop a composite base and have a multi-directional tread, designed to increase grip and help channel water off the pedal. Some of the rubber ridges sit higher than others. The whole thing is designed to keep as much of the shoe in contact with the pedal, all the time, and it works exceptionally well.
I've used the pedals on an e-bike, as well as knock-about-town hybrid. I particularly warmed to them on the e-bike, which I use primarily for commuting. Riding to work in casual shoes and experiencing a decent level of grip, without having to clip in or sense knobbly pins has been refreshing.
Even in heavy, persistent rain, they still offer great levels of grip. My commute is relatively flat, but on the occasions I want to ride out of the saddle to get over the odd lump, I've never once experienced slip. To top this off, there's no sense of pressure points or harsh edges pressing through softer soled shoes. The grip and large contact area mean that power transfer is as good as it gets for something you aren't clipped into.
The platforms are interchangeable. In addition to these black models there's red, lime green and camo, which combines all three on a grey background. I can't comment on the ease of actually changing the platforms, but Hollis described it as 'a cinch' in his review of the non-Visions. They certainly add an element of fun – an option to coordinate with your bike – and mean you can replace them should the pads wear out, though I suspect that would take some time; I've got Vibram-soled shoes and they are seriously robust.
The pedals are easy to mount using a standard 8mm hex key (to a torque of 25Nm). The bearings run smoothly, and the actual pedal construction is top quality.
It's the four integrated LEDs that set these apart from the City Grips. Look claims that the oscillating beam has a power rating level of up to 50 lumens, and a range of more than 900m, with a 180-degree angle. The LEDs are offset to point slightly outwards, as shown in the photo below.
I'll admit to being sceptical about the effect of a light on a pedal – surely my feet would obscure it, though my size 42s are hardly 'large'. However, at night and in certain daylight urban scenarios, the lights are surprisingly striking, with the orange glow standing out from your usual red and white bike lights. At night, with the addition of pedal rotation, they really do create a worthwhile visibility aid.
> Buyer's Guide: 9 of the best flat shoes for commuting, leisure and urban cycling
I'm not so convinced of their effect during the day on the road – the Day Flash mode is striking, but no more so than a decent rear light, arguably less so given their position under the foot. Dip into a subway, railway bridge or specific cycle tunnel and they are more effective (as is any light). I can see how they would be useful for daytime riding for anyone navigating plenty of tunnels, if such a commute exists. Naturally, I'm writing this in BST; they will really come into their own for winter commutes.
The operation button on the units is very small, but there is a noticeable 'click' when you locate the trigger point. It's possible with thin gloves, but not deep winter gloves, for me anyway; just remember to switch them on before you 'glove-up'.
They are simple to operate: one prolonged click switches them on and off. Once on, one click cycles you through four different modes: Steady (20 lumens), Day flash (50 lumens), Night flash (10 lumens) and Flash eco (6 lumens).
The lights use a functional and reliable stop-start motion detector to preserve battery life. If you are static for more than about 30 seconds they go into standby mode. A flashing green light indicates this. The lights are super sensitive, and any motion (even just a gentle touch) will reactivate them, to the mode they were already in. If they don't detect movement for about 30 minutes, they will power down themselves – a great feature, in my opinion.
I'd say that Look's estimate of 20 hours when in eco flash is not far wrong. It's tough to measure exactly, particularly when urban riding – the lights are going onto standby a fair bit. I have found that three days of commuting (3 hours) is possible before recharging when on Day Flash, navigating several sets of traffic lights and junctions. Look gives a 2.5-hour estimate for this mode, so they are doing well.
A red light begins to flash when they reach 30% capacity, turning to constant at 25%. This comes on when the lights are operating. Given that the lights are amber, it's not difficult to see (when you take your foot off the pedal at a set of lights, for example), so there's little risk of being caught out, though it's not a disaster, given that they are 'additional' lights.
The light units pop out of the pedals for recharging. I tried to work out how without a set of instructions and failed. The instructions are online, which makes me want to go off a tangent here, for a moment. The packaging contained minimal plastic and no excess paper – one plastic sticky tab holding the box closed and a QR code to the instructions rather than an instruction leaflet. It's great that manufacturers are actively minimising plastic packaging.
Once you've popped the units out, they charge via a micro USB port. There's one supplied cable with a split head, so you can charge two units in one go. They go from flat to full in just under two hours.
The silicone charge port covers aren't particularly robust, and one has already broken off. I still use it to plug the port, but it's hardly ideal. Getting the tabs to fit snuggly in the port housing is fiddly to say the least – it's a really tight fit, and if you don't engage them properly they are dragged out as you insert the light into the pedal (hence breaking off, I think).
The unit clips securely into the pedal with a magnet. It really isn't a faff to get them in and out once you know how to, and I've had no concerns about them disengaging.
I've used them in some pretty horrific conditions and have had no issues with water ingress, supporting the IPX7 rating. If the port covers do break off (and get lost), it's possible that water may get in while riding in wet conditions. Look does recommend that they are kept clean and dry to secure performance.
It's tough to draw direct comparison with other options; I've not found any other rechargeable pedals out there. There are a few that offer integrated LEDs that charge on pedalling – for example, these are only £14.99, but I can't comment on how well they work.
Whether you consider the Visions to be worth the money will depend on whether you deem them gimmicky or a valuable additional visibility feature. I'm not entirely convinced, to be honest, and think that for half the price you can invest in the Geo City Grips and use the money saved to buy a decent set of extra lights – perhaps to mount on your helmet, which will be at more practical height for other road users.
Overall, I really can't knock the pedals for comfort, grip and performance in all conditions. The lights work well and certainly increase your visibility, though the port covers and buttons could be improved. Given those flaws, and the fact that you can simply mount extra lights in more practical places for less than the difference in price between these and the Geo City Grips, it's hard to justify the price, but if you have the cash, they certainly work.

Actual pedal is top quality. Questions over port covers.
Brilliant grip and comfort. Lights certainly add to visibility on the road.
They are robust pedals, fully capable of plenty of urban miles. Vibram has a great reputation and it's not showing any signs of wear here either. I've pulled down the score for the port covers though; that it's broken off within four weeks is disappointing.
It's worth highlighting Look's advice, which is inline with most lights:
Before riding, ensure the micro-USB port cap is correctly closed to prevent the intrusion of any dirt or moisture that could interfere with charging.
The initial battery autonomy (20h in eco flash mode) may decrease over time due to a number of factors: incorrect charging procedure, the number of charges or the ambient temperature during charging (temperature should be between -5° and 40° degrees Celsius, outside of which battery capacity may be significantly reduced).
Leaving your batteries fully discharged for a significant amount of time can result in a progressive loss of their initial autonomy until complete and irreversible depletion. For this reason, always make sure to maintain a minimum charge level by recharging the batteries every 2 months at least.
They are not the lightest out there, but given the weight of the bikes they'll likely be mounted on, I'm not going to get picky about saving weight. If weight is important, Race Face Chester Flats come in at 368g and Hope's F20s are 400g.
Most comfortable flat pedal I have ever ridden with.
They are £57 more than the Geo City Grip model; that's a sizeable amount for the extra lights. Many flats don't have any kind of reflectors, though, so it's a matter of deciding what you value in a pedal I guess. These offer both outstanding performance and great additional visibility; if you deem the latter important in a pedal, you may consider them worth investing in.
Brilliant for urban riding and commuting. The lights are effective and functional, with reliable technology.
The comfort and grip.
The port covers.
How does the price compare to that of similar products in the market, including ones recently tested on road.cc?
Expensive, but given the integrated lights it's difficult to draw direct comparisons. That said, Hope's £130 F20 pedals make them look well priced. If it's a basic flat pedal you want with little consideration of comfort and performance, you can easily save money with B'Twin's £9.99 offerings. If you ditch the lights you can get the same performance with the Geo City Grips for half the price.
Would you consider buying the product? Not the Vision model, but definitely the Grips.
Would you recommend the product to a friend? Yes
Use this box to explain your overall score
They're good: the simplicity and convenience of a flat pedal with outstanding comfort and grip, in all situations, with a large platform to boot. The lights are certainly a positive addition on the visibility stakes, and perform well in all conditions, but the small button and port covers could be better, and to my mind the extra cost over the Geo City Grip model could be better spent on helmet lights, or lights to mount at a more practical level.

Emma Silversides
Emma's first encounters with a road bike were in between swimming and running. Soon after competing for GB in the World Age Group Triathlon Championships in Edmonton in 2001 she saw the light and decided to focus on cycling.
After a couple of half decent UK road seasons racing for Leisure Lakes, she went out to Belgium to sample the racing there and spent two years with Lotto-Belisol Ladies team, racing alongside the likes of Sara Carrigan, Grace Verbeke, Rochelle Gilmore and Lizzie Deignan. Emma moved from Lotto-Belisol to Dutch team Redsun, then a new Belgian team of primarily developing riders, where there was less pressure, an opportunity to share her experience and help build a whole new team; a nice way to spend her final years of professional racing.
Since retiring Emma has returned to teaching. When not coercing kids to do maths, she is invariably out on two wheels. In addition to the daily commute, Emma still enjoys getting out on her road bike and having her legs ripped off on the local club rides and chain gangs. She has also developed an addiction to touring, with destinations including Iceland, Georgia and Albania, to mention just a few. There have also been rare sightings of Emma off-road on a mountain bike…

Q: Will async.forEach() run through new elements I add to the array if its still executing? My question is:
If I import the async module, create an array, write a async.forEach() loop for that array, and while the loop runs, I put more elements in that array for it to loop through, will it process those newly added elements?

A: No. You can't modify the collection while the foreach is running, so it will not loop through your new items =(

Q: How to get primary key for identity column I'm using the following code to create an audit trail in an MVC3 app.
http://jmdority.wordpress.com/2011/07/20/using-entity-framework-4-1-dbcontext-change-tracking-for-audit-logging/
In the code sample they are using GUIDs for primary keys. In my case I'm using Identity columns that auto-increment.  The code in the link above works great, except on 'add' I can't get the primary key (return 0 as the for does not submit this data) when calling dbentry.current values.
I'm trying to find a way to get the primary key so I can properly add it to my transactions table. I know you can retrieve this afterwards, but I'm not sure the best way to get that and then update the table with the correct primary key.
Any ideas would be appreciated. I'd prefer not to change my primary keys to GUIDs.
I made the following modifications to my dbcontext which works.
if (ent.State == System.Data.EntityState.Added)
            {
                base.SaveChanges();
                ent.State = System.Data.EntityState.Added;
            }

then in the GetAuditRecordsForChange function I detached again so the record isn't created twice.
if (dbEntry.State == System.Data.EntityState.Added)
        {
            // For Inserts, just add the whole record
            // If the entity implements IDescribableEntity, use the description from Describe(), otherwise use ToString()
            result.Add(new TransactionHistory()
            {
                TransactionTypeID = 1,
                TableName = tableName,
                FieldName = "ALL",
                RecordPK = dbEntry.CurrentValues.GetValue<object>(keyName).ToString(),
                OldValue = null,
                NewValue = (dbEntry.CurrentValues.ToObject() is IDescribableEntity) ? (dbEntry.CurrentValues.ToObject() as IDescribableEntity).Describe() : dbEntry.CurrentValues.ToObject().ToString(),
                TransactionBy = userId,
                TransactionDate = changeTime,
                TransactionApplication = "Galactus"
            });
            dbEntry.State = System.Data.EntityState.Detached;
        }

A: You cannot do it in single run with database generated PK. That is the reason why the post uses GUIDs. The PK of record to be inserted is known only after the insertion = after you execute SaveChanges. So you need to build your insertion log after that and SaveChanges again.


A former prison inmate has been ordered to serve 18 months for hacking the facility's computer network, stealing personal details of more than 1,100 of its employees and making them available to other inmates.
Francis G. Janosko, 44, received the sentence earlier this week in federal court in Boston after pleading guilty to the hacking offenses in September.
In 2006, Janosko hacked a thin client that was connected to a prison server to access the employee database for the Plymouth County Correctional Facility in Massachusetts, prosecutors alleged. After obtaining the names, addresses, dates of birth, social security numbers and telephone numbers of the employees, he made them accessible to other inmates.
Although the machine was configured only to run a legal research program, the prisoner managed to use it to get free rein over a variety of unauthorized services. In addition to the employee database, Janosko was also able to access the internet to download videos and photographs of prison employees, inmates and aerial shots of the prison, according to court papers. The hacking took place between October 2006 and February 2007.

Obama Isn't Just Attacking the Dakota Access Pipeline, He's Attacking the Rule of Law
December 6, 2016 /0 Comments/in Courts & Law, Energy, Policy, Politics /by Sean Hackbarth
The Obama administration put up another blockade in front of a needed energy infrastructure project.
When a business follow the rules, it should be assured of a definitive, rational decision from the government.
A month ago, I wrote:
President Barack Obama just took the rule of law, crumpled it up, and tossed along a riverbank in North Dakota.
He continues to treat the rule of law like wastepaper by putting up another (likely temporary) blockade in front of the Dakota Access Pipeline.
On Sunday, the Army Corps of Engineers refused to issue an easement to allow pipeline construction under the Missouri River, declaring it will "explore alternate routes for the pipeline crossing."
In June, the Corps approved the easement but didn't finalize it.
What changed was the pipeline became a symbolic issue for anti-energy, "Keep it in the ground" protesters, like Bill McKibben. Since this summer, thousands have encamped on federal land in North Dakota and have been ordered to leave by December 5. According to local law enforcement, these protesters are "armed, hostile" and not peaceful, and they inspired attacks on other pipelines in four states.
In September, a federal judge saw that proper procedures were followed in allowing approving the project and refused to stop it. But the Obama administration immediately pressed the pause button. Two months later, President Barack Obama telegraphed what the Corps just did by saying the pipeline should be re-routed—even though a federal judge noted that the pipeline's path was modified 140 times and would run adjacent to a natural gas pipeline that's been in the ground for over 30 years.
What's interesting is the Corps never admits that it shouldn't have approved the pipeline in the first place. It states:
[T]his decsision does not alter the Army's position that the Corps' prior reviews and action have comported with legal requirements.
In other words, the review process was followed correctly–just like a federal judge confirmed months ago. Nevertheless, the Corps (i.e. the White House) arbitrarily changed its mind.
Business and Labor Unhappy
Energy Transfer Partners, the company building the DAPL, called the move, "a purely political action," adding:
This is nothing new from this Administration, since over the last four months the Administration has demonstrated by its action and inaction that it intended to delay a decision in this matter until President Obama is out of office.
Both business groups and labor blasted the decision.
Karen Harbert, president and CEO of the U.S. Chamber's Institute for 21st Century Energy, said:
The Obama administration sent a clear message: if your special interest-funded protest is loud enough and has enough celebrities tweeting their support, then the rule of law and the facts no longer matter.
Terry O'Sullivan, General President of the Laborers' International Union of North America, called the decision, "short-sighted, gutless, and irresponsible."
Administration Attacks the Rule of Law
This action certainly was a thumb in the eye to the rule of law. To borrow from Professor Richard Epstein, the rule of law is a set of "known, consistent, and certain rules" that are applied in a neutral manner by the government. It's one way our society functions.
There's an implicit agreement: Government establishes a process for getting permission to build a major infrastructure project like a pipeline. If businesses follow those rules it should be assured of a definitive, rational decision. Both business and government function as partners.
Energy Transfer Partners spent years talking to local residents and Native American tribes. They worked with governments at all levels to demonstrate that the pipeline would be safe. They negotiated with private land owners to build the pipeline on their land. They made changes to the pipeline to protect the environment and culturally-sensitive lands.
The company followed the rules, only to have the Obama administration pull the rug out from under them to placate anti-energy activists like McKibben who thinks a modern, 21st Century economy can function without access to abundant energy.
Changing the rules in the middle of the game is fundamentally unfair, the AFL-CIO explained in November:
Once these processes have been completed, it is fundamentally unfair to hold union members' livelihoods and their families' financial security hostage to endless delay.
Uncertainty Has Consequences
Such decisions have ripple effects–mostly unseen. Other companies are watching.
They know that what's happening with the Dakota Access Pipeline can just as easily be done to a natural gas pipeline or an electric power line –even if it links to a wind or solar farm. Any type of energy infrastructure investment is at risk from ad-hoc agency decisions that reject the rule of law.
Such uncertainty has consequences. Fewer needed energy projects will be attempted because the regulatory and permitting risk is too high.
As a result, it will be harder to move energy from where it's produced to where it's consumed. That means higher costs for families and factories. It also means higher transportation costs for energy producers, less investment in production, and fewer jobs created in the sector.
Hopefully this could be a fragile, temporary win for the anti-energy crowd. A Trump spokesman said the incoming administration supports the Dakota Access Pipeline and will review the Corps' decision once it takes office next January.
Nevertheless, it's a bold reminder that how we permit infrastructure projects needs serious reform. The first place to start is having a White House that stops playing politics with our infrastructure needs while respecting the rule of law and the fairness and certainty it provides.

I beg for your understanding if my English is not grammar-nazi-proof, but I couldn't ask to Nina, our website manager, to translate the article during Christmas Eve!
Last year in Skyward has been particular: some sort of hand-over, that's always difficult. We were coming from the 2014's successful launches of #R1X that sponsored a great enthusiasm for everyone, ready to launch a new rocket an order of magnitude bigger than the previous ones.
The development of a solid rocket motor of the required size was not feasible for the association's logistics, cooking at home a so-big sugar and \(KNO_3\) grain was not an option there. For this reason and to have more certainties about the security of the activities, we decided to switch to an hybrid technology.
But you can't stop the exciting feeling of watching a launch for long and the subsystems designed for Rocksanne 2X shoud be tested… So we stated that we would have launched a preliminary "alpha" version of R2X, Rocksanne 2 Alpha, with a commercial solid rocket motor that would fulfill the need of tests for the systems and it would allow the new skywarders to raise their nose and watch a flying rocket payloaded with their dreams and passions.
2015 has been even the year in which the European Record for the apogee altitude of an amateur rocket was broken. The same record holders (DARE Team from Netherlands) succeeded in pushing it to 21 km.
The Stratos II flight inspires those who want really learn to build rockets and it's and index of a phenomenon I believe is incredibly important for the formation of the young rocket scientists wannabe: "allow young people doing whatever they want to do". This way of thinking enables several virtuous mechanisms: records are broken, you learn how to design and how to manage the project, most importantly you grow passion for something that is (also) the result of your work, you think and dream "big", you become more and more skillful facing the challenge of changing the world.
I really do not know why I decided to pursue a degree in Aerospace Engineering. I don't think I liked planes so much and even today I do not know every single thing about them. I'm not one of those that are able to identify an aircraft from its landing gear or a launcher from its code printed on the fuselage. Nope. But I'm still incredibly happy for choosing this way. I like what I study. I like it a lot.
The fact I like what I do is exclusively due to Skyward Experimental Rocketry. It was a day like another when Luca forced me to listen about a group of crazy people and what they're trying to achieve. This group of crazy people kept going around Bovisa and inside the campus garages in Certosa carrying a "long stuff", and this sounds quite weird, I know, made of wood. Something that was resembling a rocket in the bright nights, whenever planets succeeded in aligning correctly. With a concrete nozzle, yeah! They wanted to make it real, this dumb thought, presenting to the Aerospace Department.
* in Italian it's way more funny. Probably.
From that day, I don't know how, three launches, being President, a lot of people, a lot of passion and the desire to make it serious in a career… During 4 years that, thinking carefully, passed quite quickly.
I'm sure that Skyward is a beautiful thing. Really. I believe that it gives a volume to a student curriculum, and that's a minor aspect IMO, but it builds up personalities feeding them with passion as well. Being among people that embrace same passions or even different interest but that are able to transmit them, as they were a contagious illness, it's simply good. Pleasant. Effective.
And with the coming of the new President Christian I hope that this spirit will keep inspiring and Skyward will keep staying at Politecnico di Milano and I dream that this spirit could interact with people growing in power and enriching all of them. I'm not talking only about members, but also Professors, sector experts, passionate and simple random observers.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone. And good luck to the skywarders.


This program is provided by the NSU Department of Economics MA Studies in Economics (Novosibirsk School of Economics – NSE). This program is designed for students who want to receive a rigorous graduate education in Economics in one of the best research centers in the World. The program has the same structure as other leading US and European MA programs: one year of core courses followed by a year of specialized study.
The program is tailored to train highly qualified analysts and researchers able to use advanced tools for theoretic and applied research and analytics in business, public policy and economic science.
To complete the MEP «Quantitative Economics» a student also undertakes a substantial project under the supervision of a faculty member, and writes a Master dissertation thesis reporting the results. Such projects can be undertaken in any area covered by the Program, including micro- and macroeconomic analysis and modeling, investments, finance, and any other research area related to quantitative economics. The topic is to be approved by the faculty committee. Master dissertation thesis should contain an overview reflecting the student's knowledge of the research area, as well as an independent research part with the student's own research results. Master's graduate work is a self-completed study which is devoted to the solution of scientific or practical problem.
Many graduates of the department have become a part of the Russian scientific elite honorably representing the national science abroad. The department graduates also succeed in business and banking industry. As a rule, they become managers, CEOs of large and medium-sized companies as they possess enough skills not only in economic but also in psychological and social aspects of business.

In consultation with our community, clinicians and policy makers we have identified three areas of national and international priority for applied health research. The common purpose linking these three health priority areas is to use research as a force for change.
Child health as a public health priority
Applied Epidemiology.
Evaluation of early life interventions.
Forging international collaborations.
Harnessing big data.
Understanding health inequalities including those related to class, ethnicity and migration.
Translating research into practice.
Child health and wellbeing is the foundation of lifelong mental and physical health, as well as human and social capital formation. Yet UNICEF recently ranked the UK behind its European neighbours.
Healthy ageing as a health service priority
Cognitive decline and mental health.
There is a rapid growth in the population of older people with long-term conditions. The profound change in life expectancy and increasing complexity of multiple health conditions and frailty in older people has led to unprecedented pressures on health services internationally.
Patient safety and quality improvement as a policy priority
Patient involvement in patient safety
Organisational, team and individual learning and change
Safe use of medicines
Use of informatics to enhance patient safety
Transitions across the care pathway
Evidence from patient surveys, organisational inspections and comparison of routine health outcome data indicates considerable variation in quality of care. Poor management of patients at the interfaces of care, clinical practice that is not aligned with current evidence, and pathways of care that are not patient focused impair the efficiency and safety of health care.

Simon Farid is a visual artist and invigilator at a major art gallery. He lives, works and works in London. Over the last nine years, these two careers and labours have allowed him to work with people who have critical, challenging, exciting practices. Both have led to some personally important moments, emotionally and intellectually, and many more of boredom and disappointment. He thinks both are about communicating, seeing and being seen.
How many artists need to work in an institution before it is artist-led?
Institutions are just groups of workers, arranged – right?
Why does the ethics of artmaking feel different to the ethics of wage earning?
Whatever happened to when I grow up I want to be a struggling artist?
How best to publicly exhibit things that need to be kept secret?
If a tree falls in public and nobody notices, can it have a cultural impact?
Collaboration means two different things.
This Bursary will allow Simon to forego 306 hours of invigilating while maintaining the same £££ income. Either way he would be thinking and using his body. This way he can sit down.

Eat raw or cooked. Add a tsp to soups, stews stocks and curries during cooking. Sprinkle on vegetables with oil before roasting. Rub into meat of fish before cooking. Add two teaspoons in bread dough when adding the water.

Search Engine Marketing is a part of digital advertising wherein you place commercials on social networking sites. Today the five largest social media companies are Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram and G+.
As per sources, Facebook alone currently has 2.23 billion monthly active users. Also, LinkedIn, YouTube, and Twitter are running neck and neck with 13%, 12%, and 11% of marketers using ads on these platforms respectively.
Looking at such potential and vast global reach, these sites are the primary attraction to advertisers. Simply imagine the aptitude of these channels which can help you communicate with a vast number of people in your niche. However, the fact is that you can only reap the benefits when you have the expertise to segment that huge audience. The larger the audience, the greater the ability to target at a micro level.
The reason why most smart entrepreneurs and businesses capitalize on social media advertising is its ability of allowing you to target your exact demographic. You have the liberty to reach people based as per age, interests, email lists or website visitors.

DC's LEGENDS OF TOMORROW: "Pilot, Part 1" Review
As the third installment in The CW's live-action DC universe, Legends Of Tomorrow has been hotly anticipated, and having finally premiered last night, now is an excellent time to dive into what might be the one of the most accurate representations of a classic comic-book tone out of print media.
Legends Of Tomorrow follows 22nd century "Time-Master" Rip Hunter (Arthur Darvill) as he assembles a team of supporting characters from the "CWverse" (Sara Lance/White Canary and Ray Palmer/The Atom of Arrow in addition to Professor Martin Stein & Jefferson Jackson/Firestorm, Kendra Saunders/Hawkgirl, Carter Hall/Hawkman, Leonard Snart/Captain Cold, and Mick Rory/Heatwave of The Flash) to perform missions throughout time in an effort to stop immortal warlord Vandal Savage (Casper Crump) before he can complete his conquest of the Earth in 2166.
Just from that log-line, it's clear Legends Of Tomorrow will be loaded to the brim with Silver-Age comic book goodness, and I would argue this works in the show's favor and to it's detriment. This goofy, adventurous tone successfully establishes LOT as the entertaining romp it is clearly setting out to be. However, the technical requirements for this sort of explicit comic book tone expand beyond the production restrictions placed on the show by it's cable TV home, and depending on your viewpoint, these low-budget effects either add to the cheesy, B-grade value of the show or merely serve as an eye-sore (I am planted firmly in the latter camp).
In what is hopefully a case of growing pains typically found in television pilots, much of the LOT premiere came across as an exposition dump, and a somewhat redundant one at that, given how much set-up for the series has been planted in Arrow and The Flash. Granted, this was perhaps unavoidable, given the sheer volume of characters, each with their own baggage, and at least a semblance of explanation is required for uninformed viewers. While balancing nine characters of more or less equal billing was always going to be challenging, LOT handles it in a deft, if a bit disjointed, fashion, with each character's personality organically shining through and getting a moment in the spotlight. Additionally, the revelation in the last quarter of the episode that Hunter recruited the team not because they are regarded as legendary heroes in his time, but because they actually left little impact on history and so their deaths/disappearance would not irreparably damage the timeline was handled well, explaining why these secondary, otherwise unconnected characters were assembled to fight a threat this grave.
Overall, while the Legends Of Tomorrow pilot is far from perfect, it demonstrates a fair amount of potential and successfully sets itself apart from its CWverse brethren.
