A shoe insert of the orthotic type made of a flexible material to enable repeated flexing without cracking and having a built-in step indicating device made of a stiff material that indicates to the user the posture or orientation of the foot at initial heel-to-ground contact through final toe-off. The processor acquires first display information about a first virtual machine. The clip has a first tab that projects angularly away from the first surface at the first side of the bladetape and a second tab that projects angularly away from the second surface at the second side of the bladetape. The output light beams from the optical fibers from the fiber coupled diode array are coupled to the inner cladding of a dual clad optical fiber.
