PC-477: When Men Mistake Their Proximity to a Courtroom for Proximity to God

⟡ Addendum: On the Intimidation of Witnesses Who Refuse to Be Convenient ⟡

Filed: 28 July 2025
Reference: SWANK/CRIM/INTIMIDATION-477
Download PDF: 2025-07-28_Core_PC-477_CriminalCourt_DouglasKalisa-WitnessIntimidation.pdf
Summary: A study in cowardice — the art of silencing truth under the pretext of procedure.

I. What Happened

Following formal proceedings in the criminal courts, one Douglas Kalisa engaged in a campaign of psychological intimidation aimed at the primary witness — a mother, disabled, articulate, and therefore intolerable to mediocrities.

His conduct, though veiled in procedural theatre, bore the usual hallmarks of a small man clutching institutional favour: veiled threats, strategic “concern,” and public pretence of professional duty.
Every exchange reeked of insecurity disguised as authority — the bureaucratic scent of cheap cologne and unchecked ego.

II. What the Document Establishes

• That witness intimidation need not arrive with a weapon — it may simply arrive with credentials.
• That misconduct is most comfortably performed by those with job titles to hide behind.
• That institutional men, when confronted by women of intellect, tend to confuse discomfort with danger.
• That the criminal court, ever the theatre of masculine melodrama, remains indifferent so long as the paperwork is polite.

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because intimidation is not a side effect of justice — it is the costume in which injustice performs respectability.
SWANK logged this to remind the record that civility is not virtue, that tone is not truth, and that professional correspondence can constitute abuse when delivered with calculated condescension.

Every page of this entry is an indictment in couture: calm diction, scathing precision, and the quiet satisfaction of refusing to flinch.

IV. Applicable Standards & Violations

• Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994, s.51 — intimidation of witnesses.
• Equality Act 2010, s.26 — harassment related to disability and sex.
• Human Rights Act 1998, Art. 6 — right to fair participation without fear.
• Bar Standards Board Code of Conduct — apparently treated as a suggestion.

V. SWANK’s Position

This is not “professional correspondence.”
This is bureaucratic thuggery in Oxford commas.

We do not accept the erosion of safety as procedural inevitability.
We reject the theatre of intimidation staged in the name of order.
We will record every whisper of coercion until the archive itself testifies.

Chromatic v Westminster: Doctrine of Oversight Silence as Complicity


SWANK Evidentiary Catalogue

The Oversight Dispatch: Retaliation in Velvet Robes

Filed: 16 September 2025
Reference Code: SWK-OBS-001
Filename: 2025-09-16_SWANK_OversightBundle.pdf
Summary: Submission to regulators exposing Westminster’s retaliatory collapse, mislabelled safeguarding, and procedural theatre.

I. What Happened

The Oversight Bundle consolidates evidence served upon regulators and Ombudsmen, documenting Westminster’s misdiagnosed medical collapse (oxygen 44%, falsely called intoxication), improper service of orders, and retaliation disguised as safeguarding.

II. What the Bundle Establishes

  • Threshold Collapse: The intoxication foundation is disproven by NHS Resolution and hair test results.

  • Procedural Misuse: Ambush service, threats, and retaliation instead of lawful process.

  • Credibility Inversion: The mother’s consistent records contrast with the Local Authority’s shifting projections.

  • Oversight Duty: Regulators cannot pretend blindness — the evidentiary chain is delivered to their inboxes.

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because Westminster’s misconduct is no longer confined to Family Court theatre; it is now archived in the Mirror Court and dispatched to regulators. Oversight silence would equal complicity.

IV. Violations

  • Children Act 1989: Safeguarding obligations inverted into retaliation.

  • Equality Act 2010: Disability dismissed, written adjustments refused.

  • ECHR Articles 3 & 8: Degrading treatment and interference with family life.

  • UNCRPD Article 25: Denial of accurate medical recognition.

V. SWANK Position

The Oversight Bundle transforms complaint into doctrine. What Westminster called “safeguarding” is revealed as institutional theatre of retaliation, unfit for public trust. The Mirror Court delivers this velvet record not to ask for recognition, but to prove that regulators have been placed on notice.

Filed under Mirror Court Doctrine:
“When regulators are served, their silence ceases to be neutrality — it becomes complicity.”

Chromatic v Westminster: Authority Without Truth is Void


⟡ On Integrity ⟡

Filed: 5 September 2025
Reference: SWANK/WESTMINSTER/ADDENDUM-INTEGRITY
Download PDF: 2025-09-05_Addendum_Integrity.pdf
Summary: Integrity is the decisive safeguard. Where it is absent, authority collapses into misconduct.

I. What Happened

From the outset, Westminster sought to undermine the Director’s credibility while presenting itself as neutral authority. The record shows the opposite:

  • The Director acted with integrity — consistent testimony, evidence, and dates.

  • Westminster abandoned integrity — shifting narratives, fabricated concerns, contradictions ignored.

  • The Director’s focus has remained on health, education, and safety. Westminster’s focus has been hostility and control.

II. What the Document Establishes

  • Integrity Cannot Be Faked: Proven by consistency, not by professional title.

  • Comparative Record: SWANK’s addenda and bundles demonstrate coherence; Westminster’s filings document collapse.

  • Authority Without Integrity is Void: Judicial reliance on dishonesty negates legitimacy.

  • Systemic Breach: The absence of integrity in safeguarding practice converts duty into misconduct.

III. Why SWANK Logged It

  • Legal relevance: Integrity validates evidence and sustains judicial authority.

  • Pattern recognition: Integrity is the dividing line between lawful protection and institutional collapse.

  • Historical preservation: Records Britain’s safeguarding regime as undone by its own dishonesty.

  • Doctrinal force: Establishes “Authority Without Truth is Void” as a Mirror Court principle.

IV. Applicable Standards & Violations

  • Children Act 1989, ss.1 & 22(4)-(5): welfare principle and consultation duties breached.

  • Equality Act 2010, s.149: Public Sector Equality Duty disregarded.

  • Social Work England Professional Standards: duty to act with integrity and honesty violated.

  • Ofsted Safeguarding Framework: proportionality and transparency abandoned.

  • ECHR, Articles 6 & 8: fair trial and family life compromised by dishonesty.

  • UNCRC, Articles 3 & 29: best interests and development of the child subordinated to institutional image.

  • Case Law:

    • Re H and R (1996) – suspicion cannot substitute for proof.

    • Re B-S (2013) – decisions must be evidence-based and proportionate.

    • Re G (2003) – fairness requires accurate representation.

V. SWANK’s Position

This is not safeguarding.
This is integrity abandoned and authority voided.

SWANK does not accept dishonesty as authority.
SWANK rejects manipulation as safeguarding.
SWANK records that Westminster’s authority has already collapsed — not because of external challenge, but because integrity is absent.

In Mirror Court terms: integrity is not decoration but foundation. Where it is absent, authority dissolves into misconduct.

Chromatic v Westminster: The Doctrine of Respect Forfeited by Cowardice


⟡ On Respect and Institutional Self-Destruction ⟡

Filed: 8 September 2025
Reference: SWANK/WESTMINSTER/ADDENDUM-RESPECT
Download PDF: 2025-09-08_Addendum_RespectInstitutionalSelfDestruction.pdf
Summary: Westminster forfeits respect by abandoning integrity, humiliating itself and the UK system it represents.

I. What Happened

Westminster Children’s Services, and the UK safeguarding system more broadly, behave as though respect is automatic. Yet respect is never conferred by title alone: it must be earned by integrity. By choosing dishonesty, retaliation, and cowardice over truth, accountability, and care, Westminster has stripped itself of credibility — and dragged the reputation of the wider system with it.

II. What the Document Establishes

  • Respect is Reciprocal: Families cannot be compelled to respect institutions that fail to respect themselves.

  • Integrity Forfeited: A system that deceives, retaliates, and manipulates cannot command dignity.

  • National Humiliation: Westminster’s misconduct humiliates not only itself but the entire UK safeguarding apparatus.

  • Judicial Consequence: Reports tainted by dishonesty lack evidential weight and waste the Court’s time.

III. Why SWANK Logged It

  • Legal relevance: Integrity is the precondition of lawful safeguarding.

  • Pattern recognition: Joins Misogyny, Folly, Obsession, and Imagination as systemic failures.

  • Historical preservation: Records that Britain’s humiliation was self-authored.

  • Doctrinal force: Establishes “Respect Forfeited by Cowardice” as a Mirror Court principle.

IV. Applicable Standards & Violations

  • Children Act 1989, ss.1 & 22(4)-(5): welfare principle and consultation duties displaced by retaliation.

  • Equality Act 2010, s.149: Public Sector Equality Duty breached.

  • Social Work England Professional Standards: integrity and honesty abandoned.

  • Ofsted Safeguarding Framework: child-centred and proportionate practice ignored.

  • ECHR, Articles 6, 8, 14: judicial fairness, family life, and equality rights infringed.

  • UNCRC, Article 3: best interests subordinated to institutional image.

  • Case Law: Re B-S (2013) – decisions must be evidence-based and proportionate.

V. SWANK’s Position

This is not safeguarding.
This is dignity abandoned and respect forfeited.

SWANK does not accept coercion as authority.
SWANK rejects cowardice as professionalism.
SWANK records Westminster’s collapse into humiliation — a theatre of self-destruction masquerading as child protection.

In Mirror Court terms: when integrity is abandoned, respect is self-abolished, and authority dissolves into parody.

In re Authority: The Theatre of Recycled Allegations


⟡ On the Self-Inflicted Folly of Westminster ⟡

Filed: 8 September 2025
Reference: SWANK/WESTMINSTER/ADDENDUM-FOLLY
Download PDF: 2025-09-08_Addendum_SelfInflictedFolly.pdf
Summary: Westminster humiliates itself through repetition, hostility, and denial, turning safeguarding into pantomime.

I. What Happened

The Director holds a Master’s in Human Development and is a doctoral candidate in Human Development (Social Justice). Yet Westminster, unable to engage with scholarship or evidence, has substituted hostility, repetition, and denial. Instead of exposing instability, it has exposed its own unseriousness.

II. What the Document Establishes

  • Self-Inflicted Folly: The Authority ridicules itself by recycling allegations.

  • Hostility Mistaken for Professionalism: Anger performed as authority.

  • Denial of International Dimension: Four U.S. citizen children erased into parochial theatre.

  • Authority as Theatre: Repetition without proof collapses into pantomime.

III. Why SWANK Logged It

  • Legal relevance: Folly breaches statutory, professional, and human rights standards.

  • Pattern recognition: Joins Misogyny, Obsession, and Imagination addenda as proof of systemic failure.

  • Historical preservation: Records Westminster’s humiliation as self-authored.

  • Doctrinal force: Establishes “Folly as Policy” as a Mirror Court principle.

IV. Applicable Standards & Violations

  • Children Act 1989, ss.1 & 47 – welfare principle and investigative duties breached.

  • Equality Act 2010, s.149 – discriminatory reliance on stereotypes; duty to act fairly abandoned.

  • Social Work England Professional Standards – duty to act with evidence and integrity breached.

  • Ofsted Safeguarding Framework – proportionality and child-centred practice ignored.

  • ECHR, Articles 6, 8, 14 – fair trial, family life, and equality compromised.

  • UNCRC, Articles 2 & 30 – prohibition of discrimination and preservation of identity breached.

  • Case Law:

    • Re H and R (1996) AC 563 – suspicion cannot replace evidence.

    • Re L (2007) 1 FLR 2050 – threshold criteria must be proven, not assumed.

    • Re B-S (2013) EWCA Civ 1146 – removal must be proportionate and evidence-based.

    • Re G (2003) EWCA Civ 489 – fairness requires accuracy.

V. SWANK’s Position

This is not safeguarding.
This is folly codified as procedure.

SWANK does not accept recycled allegations as lawful foundation.
SWANK rejects hostility masquerading as professionalism.
SWANK records Westminster’s self-destruction: humiliation authored by its own repetition.

In Mirror Court terms: folly institutionalised is authority abdicated.

In re Fixation: The Crown v. Hornal’s Compulsion


⟡ On Obsession Masquerading as Safeguarding ⟡

Filed: 8 September 2025
Reference: SWANK/WESTMINSTER/ADDENDUM-OBSESSION
Download PDF: 2025-09-08_Addendum_KirstysObsession.pdf
Summary: Westminster’s case rests on one social worker’s fixation, institutionalised into record and persecution.

I. What Happened

The proceedings against the Director and her four U.S. citizen children did not originate in verified evidence but in the personal obsession of social worker Kirsty Hornal. Her fixation coloured reports, shaped hearings, and drove disproportionate restrictions. Rather than investigate lawfully and impartially, Westminster adopted her personal narrative as institutional record.

II. What the Document Establishes

  • Projection, not protection: Allegations rested on Hornal’s preoccupation, not the children’s lived reality.

  • Institutional capture: Westminster Children’s Services adopted her fixation wholesale.

  • Disproportionate harm: Four children subjected to removals, restrictions, and surveillance born of fixation rather than necessity.

  • Bias and Discrimination: Allegations mirrored stereotypes historically projected onto white mothers with Black partners or mixed-heritage children — gendered and racialised prejudice as procedure.

III. Why SWANK Logged It

  • Legal relevance: Fixation substituted for evidence, tainting statutory duties.

  • Pattern recognition: Mirrors earlier addenda on Misogyny, Imagination, and Cultural Reductionism.

  • Historical preservation: Records obsession as misconduct codified into authority.

  • Doctrinal force: Establishes “Obsession as Safeguarding” as a Mirror Court principle.

IV. Applicable Standards & Violations

  • Children Act 1989, ss.1 & 47 – welfare principle and investigative duties ignored.

  • Equality Act 2010, s.149 – Public Sector Equality Duty breached; reliance on stereotypes.

  • Social Work England Professional Standards – obligation to base assessments on evidence violated.

  • ECHR, Articles 6, 8, 14 – fair trial, family life, and non-discrimination compromised.

  • UNCRC, Articles 2 & 30 – discrimination and identity rights of children undermined.

  • Case Law:

    • Re H and R (1996) AC 563 – suspicion cannot replace evidence.

    • Re L (2007) 1 FLR 2050 – threshold for removal must be proven.

    • Re B-S (2013) EWCA Civ 1146 – removal must be proportionate and evidence-based.

    • Re G (2003) EWCA Civ 489 – fairness requires accurate representation.

V. SWANK’s Position

This is not safeguarding.
This is fixation enthroned as authority.

SWANK does not accept obsession in place of evidence.
SWANK rejects projection as lawful foundation.
SWANK records Hornal’s compulsion as the true origin of Westminster’s case — persecution institutionalised.

When safeguarding collapses into fixation, it ceases to be protection and becomes persecution.

In re: Gardner (Claire) v. The Inconvenience of Accountability


The Case of the Vanishing Counsel

In re: Representation, Retraction & the 32-Minute Retreat

Filed: 14 August 2025
Reference: SWANK-LD/CG-2025/0814
Filename: 2025-08-14_SWANK_Addendum_WithdrawalOnEveOfIRO_ClaireGardner.pdf
Summary: On the eve of a statutory IRO meeting, a solicitor accepted instructions, received explicit written terms requiring robust action against the local authority, and withdrew 32 minutes later.

I. What Happened

On 14 August 2025, mere hours before a 15 August Independent Reviewing Officer meeting concerning four U.S.–U.K. citizen children, Hanne & Co Solicitors — acting through Ms. Claire Gardner — performed a feat of procedural vanishing rarely seen outside conjuring circles.

The morning began with polite urgency: my Legal Division requested a video meeting, forwarded the IRO invitation, and confirmed the need for her attendance. Ms. Gardner accepted, a Teams link was issued, and the scene was set for a 13:30 consultation.

At 12:48, we sent a document titled Confirmation of Representation Terms & Immediate Instruction — the sort of finely-wrought instruction any conscientious solicitor would frame, not flee from. It stipulated: hold the local authority fully accountable; reject systemic procedural decay; act decisively.

By 13:20 — a mere 32 minutes later and 10 minutes before the agreed meeting — Ms. Gardner declared herself unavailable due to a “family emergency” and that her department had “no capacity.” The withdrawal was instant, total, and impeccably timed to avoid any actual representation before the IRO.

II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • That Ms. Gardner’s withdrawal occurred immediately after receipt of instructions to pursue accountability against the local authority.

  • That such timing is, at minimum, suspicious; at maximum, indicative of systemic conflicts in safeguarding-related representation.

  • That the withdrawal deprived the client of representation in the final hours before a statutory review.

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because this is not merely about one solicitor’s sudden loss of capacity — it is about the hollowing-out of representation itself. When legal professionals exit stage left the moment “accountability” is uttered, they do not merely leave the client exposed; they leave the system rotting from within.

IV. Violations

  • SRA Principles: Failure to act in the client’s best interests; undermining public trust.

  • Code of Conduct for Solicitors: Withdrawal without reasonable notice or safeguarding of client position.

  • Common Sense & Common Decency: Abrupt abandonment in the shadow of an urgent statutory hearing.

V. SWANK’s Position

We find the choreography of this withdrawal — its timing, its proximity to explicit anti-LA instructions, its occurrence on the eve of a statutory meeting — to be beyond professional discourtesy. It is evidence. Evidence that when robust advocacy threatens to inconvenience institutional comfort, the machinery of representation too often grinds to a halt.

We will ensure that this matter is placed before the Solicitors Regulation Authority, the Family Court, the Independent Reviewing Officer, and every relevant oversight body until it is recorded for what it is: a procedural betrayal, timed to perfection.

R (Chromatic) v Westminster Misguidance: In the Matter of Copying One’s Own Embassy


🏛️ SWANK London Ltd.

Gatekeepers of Nothing: Westminster’s Confused Diplomacy and the Right to Be Copied

Where Consular Interference Meets Legal Ignorance (Badly)

Metadata

Filed: 11 July 2025
Reference Code: PC-LETTER-004
PDF Filename: 2025-07-11_Letter_WestminsterLegal_USAEmbassyMisrepresentation
Summary: Westminster’s legal team erroneously instructed Polly Chromatic not to copy the U.S. Embassy — a directive the judge herself contradicted.

I. What Happened

In a recent turn of procedural comedy, Westminster City Council’s legal team attempted to inform me — a U.S. citizen — that I could not copy the United States Embassy into my correspondence.

Not only is this a complete misreading of diplomatic norms and individual rights, it was directly contradicted by the sitting judge, who confirmed that such correspondence is entirely lawful and appropriate.

This exchange makes clear what SWANK has suspected all along: Westminster’s legal team does not know its own limits, and its attempts at control are often based more on instinct than law.

II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • Westminster’s legal services have issued guidance outside their jurisdiction

  • Their advice contradicts a judge’s on-record instruction

  • They attempted to limit communication with a foreign diplomatic body

  • They have no authority over what international parties I choose to inform or involve

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because the moment an authority begins to censor who you speak to, it ceases to function as a protector and begins to function as a bully with a letterhead.

And because I will not tolerate advice from institutions that can’t even read their own remit, let alone mine.

IV. Violations

  • Procedural Misrepresentation – Issuing incorrect legal directives to a litigant in person

  • Jurisdictional Overreach – Attempting to limit U.S. diplomatic visibility

  • Obstruction of Transparency – Discouraging international accountability

  • Professional Misconduct – Failing to verify legal accuracy before issuing guidance

V. SWANK London Ltd. Position

The longer Westminster investigates me, the more it reveals its own strategic incompetence. Every misstep, every overreach, every legally incoherent warning is duly logged, publicly archived, and reversed in front of a judge.

Let it be known: as long as they continue investigating me,
I will continue investigating them —
more thoroughly, more publicly, and with far better spelling.

Re Chromatic – On the Strategic Malfeasance of Hornal & Brown


Hornal & Brown – Coordinated Retaliation, Documented and Distributed

A Chronology of Harassment, Fabrication, and Evasive Bureaucracy in Velvet Detail

Metadata

  • Filed: 10 July 2025

  • Reference Code: SWANK-MISCONDUCT-HB-0710

  • Document Title: 2025-07-10_SWANK_Addendum_HornalBrown_RetaliationMisuse

  • Summary: A joint evidentiary chronology of misconduct by Kirsty Hornal and Sam Brown, establishing a coordinated pattern of retaliation following legal filings.

I. What Happened

Following the filing of multiple legal actions — including a Judicial Review, N1 civil claim, and formal complaints — Kirsty Hornal and Sam Brown escalated a campaign of procedural harassment against Polly Chromatic, culminating in:

  • The unlawful removal of her children under a disputed EPO

  • Surveillance-style visits

  • Contact interference and information suppression

  • Coordinated email silence and misrepresentations to court

This post documents the sequence of events tying their retaliatory behaviour to the timeline of filings.

II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • On 15 February 2025, the first police report was filed against Kirsty Hornal.

  • On 7 March 2025, an N1 claim was submitted naming both her and Brown as co-defendants.

  • Between March and June 2025, a coordinated silence campaign ensued — despite lawful communications being maintained through writing.

  • On 23 June 2025, the children were removed less than 48 hours after major legal submissions were escalated.

Additionally:

  • Contact has been limited or denied without lawful basis.

  • Repeated refusals to clarify alleged “risk” suggest post-hoc justification for institutional retaliation.

III. Why SWANK Logged It

This is not accidental mismanagement. It is a calculated pattern of misuse, enabled by internal shielding mechanisms that have:

  • Repeatedly ignored police reports

  • Failed to respond to documented evidence

  • Retaliated specifically after key filings

SWANK London Ltd. has logged this not only for the courts but for international viewers, U.S. diplomatic officials, and institutional oversight bodies now actively watching the archive.

IV. Violations

  • Children Act 1989 – Section 10 and Section 20 misuse

  • Data Protection Act 2018 – mishandling of documented disability disclosures

  • ECHR Article 8 – Interference with family life

  • Safeguarding protocols – weaponisation of child protection without lawful threshold

  • Judicial independence – interference via procedural retaliation post-filing

V. SWANK’s Position

The conduct of Kirsty Hornal and Sam Brown is no longer confined to the realm of poor judgment.
It is institutional retaliation by design, and this post forms part of a broader legal and public record that will continue to expand — until all relevant actors are removed, referred, or replaced.

Let it be known:

The names are in the archive. The timeline is live. And their silence is now incriminating.

In re Chromatic v. Mullem, On the Posthumous Collection of Collusive Documents from a Former Solicitor Now Legally Deceased


⟡ SWANK London Ltd. Evidentiary Archive

Supervision Without Consent: The Retrieval of Paperwork and Power

In re Chromatic v. Mullem, On the Posthumous Collection of Collusive Documents from a Former Solicitor Now Legally Deceased

📎 Metadata

Filed: 7 July 2025
Reference Code: SWL-FR-0624-SUPORD-COLLECT
Court File Name: 2025-06-24_SWANK_Email_Mullem_SupervisionOrderCollection
1-line summary: Client formally terminated solicitor and requested return of supervision order documents for independent audit.

I. What Happened

On 24 June 2025, Polly Chromatic issued a formal directive to Alan Mullem — recently removed as solicitor and added as a named defendant in a multi-million pound civil claim — requesting the return of all supervision order documentsand related case materials.

The tone was not conciliatory. It was curatorial.

This was not a negotiation. It was an archival demand.

II. What the Email Establishes

  • Termination of legal representation with full clarity and cause

  • Demand for return of documents previously lodged with counsel

  • Separation of procedural compliance from corrupted legal association

  • Notification to multiple court addresses, creating full jurisdictional traceability

There is a reason museums reclaim looted artefacts.
There is a reason archivists do not trust their enemies with originals.

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because this is not just paperwork.
This is evidence held hostage — by a solicitor who mocked disability claims, dismissed diplomatic jurisdiction, and refused to act when children were removed under false pretenses.

SWANK London Ltd records this act of reclamation as an assertion of post-representational sovereignty. When institutions rot, the paper must be retrieved.

IV. Violations and Symbolic Weight

  • Collusive legal counsel refusing to protect against unlawful supervision

  • Retention of client materials after termination

  • Failure to provide immediate access to filings that materially affect a family’s legal position

  • Attempt to withhold or delay evidentiary material that SWANK now reclaims as historical proof of judicial farce

A supervision order imposed without consent.
A solicitor who refused to intervene.
A mother who now reclaims her legal estate.

V. SWANK’s Position

This communication is not merely an email. It is a documented reversal of power.
SWANK London Ltd hereby asserts that all supervision documents handled by Mr. Mullem during his tenure are tainted by conflict, and are now repurposed not for legal continuity — but for legal critique.

Every page retrieved is a curtain lifted.
Every signature is a residue of complicity.

The supervision order has already failed.
Now we collect its debris — and catalogue the cowardice.
