The limits of Trump's politics of race
Ever since Donald Trump's stunning presidential victory in 2016, there has been a quiet, enduring debate on precisely how he won it. To simplify, crudely, there are those who put it down to culture, and others who hold it was, more importantly, about economics and class.
For the former, Trump won on race, immigration and misogyny, assembling a coalition of white voters energised by all that talk of walls and Muslim bans and ramped-up deportations of immigrants, framed disproportionately as rapists and murderers and drug dealers. The latter emphasise Trump's surprisingly protectionist economic rhetoric – once unthinkable from a Republican – that railed against a system controlled by global elites to the detriment of the working Americans who've watched their jobs disappear.
Full disclosure, I was in the economics camp. That doesn't mean I think race and immigration weren't a major part of Trump's election pitch. And it doesn't even mean they weren't really important issues for many – even most – of those who voted for Trump.
It means only that these were not what delivered Trump his decisive wins. They tended to deliver him the kinds of voters in the kinds of places Republicans always get. In fact, most of Trump's vote was a typical Republican vote on the typical range of Republican issues: guns, the Supreme Court (read, abortion), and yes, immigration. The great under-told story of 2016 is that it was in so many ways a very normal election.
But the anomaly – the thing that completely changed the result – was that Trump stole places, like Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan, that a Republican was not meant to win. And it was here, among a working class that had voted for generations of Democrats – including many who voted twice for Barack Obama – that the economic message was most profoundly resonant.
It's no coincidence that the commentators who point to the economics are often those who spent time travelling with the Trump campaign through these kinds of places, hearing endless comments from voters about how Trump was such a great businessman and would know how to turn the economy around. I'll admit it was only when I got to Pennsylvania myself that I picked up the strength of that theme.
I raise all this in the context of this week's midterm elections, in which Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan rebuked Trump via a series of senate seats and governorships it sent to the Democrats. It's possible to overread this, of course: midterms usually swing against the President's party, and if this is likely to show up anywhere, it's probably in traditionally Democrat states that turned to Trump by wafer-thin margins.
But the result still seems significant for two reasons. First, this election took place in an improving economy – the kind that is meant to deliver success to an incumbent.
And second, Trump chose to ignore this fact and campaign almost entirely on immigration and race, roaring unrelentingly about a "caravan of invaders" and producing an anti-immigrant ad sufficiently composed of brazen lies and racist overtones that even his supporters at Fox News declined to broadcast it. In short, Trump simply stopped talking to the working-class people who had delivered him victory in the midwest, and who he had so enraptured during the presidential campaign by acknowledging their plight and making them believe he understood their pain. As polling day approached, all he offered them was his politics of race. And in the process, he might have revealed its limitations.
About the most Trump managed to achieve is to allow the Republicans to hold onto their base. But even that might be a generous reading, because the story of this election is that the Republicans have sacrificed their support in the once-Republican suburbs of America. That's part of the Republican base, too, but it apparently found Trump's cultural politics a little too hard to swallow.
That leakage started in 2016, but it wasn't fatal because Trump managed to offset it with those working class gains in the midwest. Now he's handed back those gains, and the suburbs have continued to desert. Trump's Republican Party is now a rural one, capable of consolidating its rural support in the most Republican territory, but right now, not much else. The result is defeat in the House of Representatives despite a Republican-friendly gerrymander and a concerted effort in several Republican states to suppress the vote of Democrat-leaning minorities. It might not be the landslide the Democrats were hoping for, but we're still talking about a win in the popular vote of around 9 per cent.
We'll never know how different it would have been had Trump leaned a little more on his economic populism and alienated fewer suburbanites with his feverish race-baiting. And it's possible Trump decided to focus entirely on the senate where by happenstance the seats up for grabs were mostly in the kind of deeply Republican territory where his race politics can (and did) work. If so, he hit his narrow target, won his prize, and might well return to his economic populism when he has a bigger task ahead of him.
And who knows? By 2020, having spent two years finding endless opportunities to rage against a clear enemy in congressional Democrats, and with anti-Trump anger possibly dampened by Congress keeping his worst excesses in check, he might have an excellent chance of winning. But he won't do it on race and immigration alone because he's just shown that whatever that gives him, it's not enough.

The meeting, at Mr Olmert's residence in the city, lasted nearly two hours.
The pair met informally in June, but these were the first formal talks between Israeli and Palestinian leaders for nearly two years.
It comes after a recent truce following months of fighting in the Gaza Strip after the capture of an Israeli soldier by Palestinian militants in June.
Mr Abbas was greeted by the Israeli leader as he arrived for the meeting. The two men shook hands and kissed each other on the cheek, then Mr Olmert introduced his guest to his wife Aliza before they sat down to talk.
The BBC's Katya Adler in Jerusalem says the private meeting, which follows months of preparation work by Israeli and Palestinian officials, cannot be described as peace talks - rather an attempt to establish some confidence-building measures.
According to Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat, Mr Olmert agreed to release $100m in tax money which Israel collected on the Palestinian Authority's behalf, but which it had refused to transfer since Hamas formed a government in March.
No agreement was made over the release of thousands of prisoners held in Israeli jails, although both sides agreed to set up a committee to discuss the issue.
Israel has said before that it will not consider any releases unless the captured soldier, Gilad Shalit, is released first.
Hamas sticking point
Mr Olmert did however agree to ease travel restrictions on Palestinians and remove a number of checkpoints in the West Bank.
"This is the beginning of a series of meetings. It was a good meeting. There was agreement on several issues," Palestinian official Nabil Abu Rdainah told Reuters news agency after the meeting.
Israel has repeatedly said it will not deal with the Hamas-led Palestinian government, which refuses to recognise the legitimacy of the Jewish state.
Mr Abbas says his attempts to persuade Hamas to change its position have failed. Last week he called for early elections, but Hamas denounced this as a coup attempt.
The dispute led to some of the worst factional fighting between Palestinians in years, prompting fears that the violence was descending into all-out civil war.
Israel has been under pressure from the US and the European Union in recent days to take steps to support Mr Abbas, our correspondent says.
Correspondents say a breakthrough in the stalled Middle East peace process would help both leaders, with Mr Abbas suffering from the conflict with Hamas, and Mr Olmert losing popularity in Israel over his handling of the war with Lebanon this summer.

Global ePharmacy Market to Reach US$128.02 bn by 2023 Boosted by Greater Internet Penetration
Transparency Market Research has published a new report on the global epharmacy market. As per the report, the global epharmacy market is expected to expand at a 17.50% CAGR during the period from 2015 to 2023. The report, titled 'ePharmacy Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast 2015 - 2023,' states that the epharmacy market is expected to progress from US$29.35 bn in 2014 to US$128.02 bn by 2023 due to factors such as the need for convenient access to required medication and the rising aging population.
Browse the full ePharmacy Market (By Geography - North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa, Latin America) - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast 2015 – 2023 report at https://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/epharmacies-market.html
Internet pharmacy or epharmacy is an online platform, which acts as an intermediate between the seller and consumer for the sale of medicines. ePharmacies are gaining popularity across the globe owing to the many benefits they offer, including easy access to complete information on prescribed drugs, low or discounted drug prices, and round-the-clock delivery of drugs. It is not necessary for the patients to be physically present at a store to buy required medicines, making ePharmacies a convenient option. The ePharmacies market is expected to grow rapidly due to the development of government regulations and ethical practices.
ePharmacies serve many needs such as easy access to medical records and easy availability of medicines in remote areas. Thanks to the development of ePharmacies, consumers can easily procure drugs via a tablet or smartphones. ePharmacies are a boon for patients who are seriously ill and need medicines urgently. However, the rising illegal sale of controlled prescription drugs is expected to hamper the growth of the global ePharmacy market in the years to come. Sales of medicines through ePharmacies can also lead to incidents of self-medication or drug abuse, which can be avoided with the integration of advanced technologies associated with drug delivery procedures.
Based on geography, the global epharmacy market is divided into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East. In 2014, in terms of revenue, the global epharmacy market was dominated by North America, followed by Europe. Europe is expected to be the fastest growing market in the global epharmacy market by 2023 due to factors such as the increasing penetration of high-speed internet and the increasing preference for buying medicines online. In the next few years, Asia Pacific is predicted to display lucrative growth due to the increasing spread of the e-commerce industry.
Some of the key players operating in the global epharmacy market are CanDrugstore.com, Lloyds Pharmacy Ltd., Domzdrowia.pl SA, Walgreen Co., Rowlands Pharmacy, CVS Caremark, PlanetRx.com, drugstore.com Inc., The SANICARE Group, eDrugstore.MD, and CanadaDrugs.com. The entry of new ePharmacies is expected to make the global ePharmacy market highly competitive in the years to come.
From essentials to luxury products, everything is available on the internet via various retail platforms. The healthcare and medical sector are no exception. Over the past few years, there has been an increase in the number of people depending on online retail stores for their medicines. The increasing pool of people buying medicines from renowned epharmacies is expected to thus propel the global epharmacy market in the years to come.

We offer you some small tips of use that will prolong the good condition of your jewelry:
Factors such as the pH of the skin, body fat and environmental humidity, among others, can oxidize all metals.
Cleaning is very simple if you have good maintenance.
For this you can use water with baking soda or an eraser for jewelry with a matte finish.
All finishes are degraded with use, rubbing and the passage of time. Be especially careful with rusted, rhodium and gold rings and bracelets.
It will depend on these factors and the use that you give the jewel the duration of the same, to show it in perfect condition as long as possible.
If you need to restore your pieces, we offer you a service for it. Contact us at email@example.com and we will explain how we carry out this process.
We choose precious and semiprecious stones for their beauty and color. Any grain, roughness or imperfection is natural and this adds beauty to your jewel, making it unique.
If your jewelry has stones or pearls, our recommendation is that you use your cosmetics and perfumes before putting it on, since the color and shine of natural stones can be altered by the chemical products and thus the stones will be preserved in perfect condition.

This third sample warp is made up of shades of blues: light, med, dark, and darker.
It was tied onto the old threading.
This is the same treadling attempt, but I decided it just wasn't looking good on the actual warp. Something about this one.... too small of a design? In real life, it mushes together and doesn't look too good. So I abandoned ship on this sample treadling.
This one has a diamond shape, and I like it the most out of all the samples I have done so far!
But it's still not perfect. It's too monotone.
I need to add some life by switching up some colors. Perhaps a green weft... or purple. I'll have to play around some more with it. I might also think about switching out some of the inner colors.
I have never had to do so many samples for one project before! This is crazy! I guess it shows you how complicated a weave structure this is. It has a lot of factors... colors, sett, shades and contrast... Hopefully it's worth the effort!
David enjoying that handwoven blanket I made a few months back! It's finally getting chilly enough to bring it out!
He loves being loosely wrapped up. And for some reason, he loves rubbing soft fabrics on his chubby cheeks!

Here is the first half of my All-Time Most Influential Albums. This is my personal list of the top 10 albums that has shaped my music taste and changed the way I listen to music in one way or another. Below you will find numbers 10 through 6 accompanied by a short review and reasoning as to why I selected the album. You can also find out more about the album by clicking on the name or album cover art. Let me know what you guys think about my album selections in the comments!
To view other posts in the series, select one of the articles below:
Music Sourced All-Time Most Influential Albums: Introduction
Goo Goo Dolls
Release Date:
September 22, 1998
|This is one of the first albums I remember listening to when I was growing up. This album introduced me to the concept of an ENTIRE album being solid from the first to last track. At the time I was only 13 years and if you liked a song on the radio, you had to go and buy the entire album to listen to the one song you wanted. You couldn't just buy single tracks back then and I usually didn't care for the rest of the tracks on the CD. Every song on this CD is solid and is still great to listen to today.
The Goo Goo Dolls also introduced me to the concept of having two singers in one band. That point seems trivial but I remember feeling very confused when I heard two different singers featured on different songs on the same CD.
Lets not forget that this album cranked out 4 top 25 singles (Iris #1, Slide #8, Black Balloon #16, Broadway #24) and sold over 3 million records.
Dashboard Confessional
Release Date:
December 17, 2002
|I was initially introduced to Dashboard Confessional by way of the radio with the release of "Hands Down". The whispering lows of the verses matched with the screaming highs of the chorus just got me amped. So when I discovered the acoustic version of the song from the MTV Unplugged show, I immediately explored the rest of the album and thoroughly enjoyed the entire live set. What makes this album so great however, is not just the music. It's actually the small sampling of Dashboard fans that were at that show singing every word, nailing every note, with perfect tone and pace, during every song played. Throughout most of the songs, Chris lets the crowd take over some of the verses as they sing the song to him while he plays.
This album started my love affair with live acoustic music. People ask me a lot why I would rather listen to the live version of a song when I could be listening to the radio released version, and this album is the reason why. It completely changed the way I attend concerts because I have traded in the stadiums and the massive crowds for the smaller shows where you are one of a hundred or so watching the artist within arms length of the stage. Sometimes I have to travel farther distances, but it is worth it to experience your music like the environment captured on this album.
The Counting Crows
Release Date:
July 14, 1998
|The Counting Crows are my favorite band of the 90's and they are still making some great music to this day. They released this live album in 1998 and it really showcases their musical diversity and overall talent. I was a fan of their music for a long time before I heard this album and I was really in awe of this group after I heard this release.
What makes this album stand out is to hear the contrast of the familiar radio edited versions of their hits with the raw live versions performed on the Across A Wire release. Arguably the groups most popular song "Mr. Jones" is almost unrecognizable in it's live form on this album and I was blown away with result. Adam Duritz also delivers an incredibly emotional performance
on the extended version of "Round Here" on CD 2 of this release that features verses of the song I had never heard before.
This album defines the difference between made-for-Pop music and the real thing. With this album they really show how much musical talent they really have and how they can even unplug their instruments and deliver incredible variations of their well known hits.
John Fogerty
Release Date:
August 19, 1998
|This album was released when I was growing up, but the majority of the music on this live album came out before my time. John Fogerty was the voice behind the Hall of Fame Classic Rock group Creedence Clearwater Revival (CCR).
What makes this album stand out is that it was the first album that my dad and I really listened to together and it gave me a real appreciation for the classic rock era that came before me. When you are riding in a car with my dad, you are truly just thankful to be listening to anything else besides talk radio. This album was something we could both agree upon during a drive so we listened to Premonition a lot when we were driving around. Listening to this album with my dad was the first I could remember where he would tell me stories about the music he listened to growing up which is something I have really come to enjoy and appreciate as I have gotten older.
I really took a liking to Fogerty and the music of CCR which opened the doors to really getting into the music of the Classic Rock era. And by the way, this album is not just on here for sentimental value, the music is truly timeless with hits like "Who'll Stop the Rain", "Bad Moon Rising", and "Proud Mary".
A Fine Frenzy
One Cell In The Sea
Release Date:
July 17, 2007
|This album changed my music landscape in a lot of ways. Before I had heard this album I was still tightly tuned in to Pop/Rock/Country radio driven by male vocalists. I didn't have the Internet until I got to college so there was literally no other way to form my own music taste except for what I grew up surrounded by. A Fine Frenzy's debut album broke me out of what had been delivered to me by the main stream media and really opened my eyes to how many amazing talented music artists there are out there.
Not only that, but I had never paid any attention to female vocalists up until I heard Allison Sudol and A Fine Frenzy. It's not that I am sexist or anything, it's just that I never really gravitated to the female pop star. Some of the greatest singers this world has ever seen are female pop stars but I never really found them to be creatively inspiring. Allison Sudol is the creative driving force behind A Fine Frenzy and the group reflect's her every emotion. Sudol is obviously not the first of her kind, but A Fine Frenzy was a first of its kind for me. It was definitely a break away from my norm. I can now give you a long list of female driven singer/songwriter groups that I thoroughly enjoy. That list started with this album.

State Team Trials

Entry forms for these events will be sent to Clubs in January but we are giving prior notice because many people like to plan trips away after the end of the bowls season.
Regards, Rodney Egge, State Bowling Arm Coordinator.
The South Australian Bowling Arm Association Inc. meet on the first Monday of the Month (except Jan.) at the Tranmere B.C. (S.A.), coaching is also available. (The October venue also is subject to change because of Tranmere's previous long term engagement.)
The South Australian Bowling Arm Association Inc. has a membership of about 120 members. President Vince Daly says:
"Just to give you a run down, the things we are involved in are:
We meet once a month on the first Monday at the Tranmere Bowling Club, Magill Road, Tranmere at 12 noon.
There we select teams from our players and usually have 2 X 8 ends of bowls during the afternoon.
Afternoon tea is available.
We finish around 5.00 pm.
Our annual membership fee is $5.00 this covers stationary costs etc. To bowl at our Bowling Day costs $5, this covers our use of the greens to Tranmere where we pay a nominal fee for each player.
There are many bowlers at the moment looking at Bowling Arms so at our Meeting Day, we offer numerous arms for them to look at and they can then go away and buy what suits. We offer coaching by experienced bowlers for around 2 hours free of charge, after that time they are positioned into a team for further experience in the use of the arm they wish to use.
Prior to them purchasing an arm they are measured up so they know what arm is proper for them to use in the future.
We also offer coaching Free of Charge to any Clubs that have aged or injured players that are looking at giving the sport away. This Coaching Session is carried out at the Clubs who have asked us to attend, and they find that many of their players, previously looking at quitting, are staying!.
We stress at these sessions that you need not give up the sport you love and also that your fitness and the company is of most importance. (Clubs do not want to lose your expertise!)
At these sessions we usually have 50 -60 people turn up and around 87% will start using an arm during the day. We allow them to play about 10 ends to give it a try, the comments after the games are great to hear with a lot of them commenting that they are after all the ends, are not aching or sore, so in essence we have achieved what we set out to do.

I first ran into the term akrasia, acting against one's own self-interest, in a post by Mark Sisson. I've had blogging about akrasia on my to-do list for a while, and tonight I finally sat down to do it. Grabbed a chocolate chip cookie before I started writing. Sigh. Paleo, huh.
I have to admit that I found Mark's first article on the subject kind of
abstruse and difficult to follow, even though I minored in philosophy
way back in the last century. He talks about free will, the weakness of the flesh, and the interesting concept that we only have so much decision-making strength in a day, that having to make trivial decisions all day long leaves us without the ability to make important ones by evening. A second article by Mark explores the physiological roots of cravings - lack of sleep, lack of certain nutrients, fear of social exclusion. All of these can lead us to toss aside our carefully reasoned choices and decisions and just go with something we know will make us miserable in the long run. I like these ideas,but I think the real answer may lie deeper in our psyche. Not that I claim to have that answer, mind you.
My real catalyst for writing about akrasia, aside from my own regrettable weakness for gluten- and sugar-filled treats that will make me pay dearly at 3 a.m., was a lovely comment that was left yesterday on this blog, on a post I wrote over a year ago - one of my first posts, in fact. It was about fighting the lizard brain, Seth Godin's term for the resistance. the part of our brain that shuts us down and fills us with fear. I think there is a relationship between akrasia and the lizard brain, although I'm not sure exactly how it works. It's something to think about - expect more posts about this in coming weeks.
What do you think, do you sense a connection between self-sabotage and the fear of success? What kind of words do you think we could build to flesh out that connection? Talk to me!

text: General Questions What is the difference between a screen and an assessment? Although screens and assessments are often used interchangeably, there are important distinctions. A screen is a process or test to identify the possible presence of an as-yet-undiagnosed health or safety risk in an individual. Screens are usually short in duration. In driving, a screen is used to identify individuals who have a higher probability of being an unsafe driver for further investigation and/or intervention. There are screens that look at different aspects of driving: cognitive, motor and sensory. An assessment is a more comprehensive analysis or evaluation of a condition to facilitate a diagnosis and treatment plan. In driving, an assessment is used to determine if an individual has the functional abilities needed to be a safe driver. An assessment provides information that can be used to determine the most appropriate intervention for a specific driver. What is driver fitness? Driving is a complex activity. It requires a combination of cognitive, motor and sensory functional abilities to work together. Cognitive abilities include the thinking related to driving, it's what happens in your brain: Process what you see and hear Decide on what action to take based on that interpretation Make that action happen effectively Motor abilities include the physical part of driving: Operating the controls such as foot pedals, steering wheel and gear shift Moving your neck through a range of motion to allow you to see what's around you Conducting shoulder checks to see what is behind you Sensory abilities include: Seeing what is happening around you which requires good vision acuity and field of vision Feeling the controls such as foot pedals so that the appropriate amount of pressure can be applied Though not required to be able to drive, hearing can help you know what is happening around you Driver fitness is the ability to perform all these functions in a way that allows you to operate a vehicle in a safe manner. What medical conditions can affect driving? Any medical condition or injury that affects the three functional abilities (Cognitive, Motor and Sensory) related to driving can impact the ability to drive safely. Here are some common medical conditions and injuries known to impact a driver's ability to drive safely: Dementia (e.g. Alzheimer's Disease) Stroke with residual cognitive, motor or sensory defects Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Parkinson's Disease Head injury including concussion Diabetes Epilepsy Anxiety disorder Post traumatic stress disorder Amputation or loss of limb Heart Disease Lung Disease If you have any of these conditions it does not necessarily mean you have to give up driving. For some progressive conditions such as Alzheimer's Disease driving cessation is an eventual reality. But for others, there are adaptations that can help a driver maintain their ability to drive safely. How do I know if a medical condition or injury is affecting my (or someone else's) ability to drive safely? For some medical conditions, the effect on driving is obvious. If you have lost a limb or the use of a limb the impact is evident and immediate. However, with conditions that cause cognitive impairment, the impact is not always so straightforward. Even mild cognitive impairment can affect the ability to drive safely. And mild cognitive impairment is not easy to diagnose. The best way to determine if someone's driving is affected by a medical condition or injury is through a functional assessment of those abilities. Though it might seem that an on-road evaluation would be best, this is not always the case, particularly with cognitive impairments. Road conditions and traffic volumes can affect the sensitivity of a regular on-road evaluation to effectively assess cognitive functional abilities. Choosing which assessment is appropriate for specific conditions is best done through consultation with a health professional. If you have a concern or question, give us a call 1-888-465-4666. How do I know when I'm ready to return to driving? People recover from medical events and injuries at different rates. When to return to driving will depend on if your functional abilities related to driving are affected. To be a safe driver you need the following abilities working together effectively: Cognitive abilities include the thinking related to driving, it's what happens in your brain: Process what you see and hear Decide on what action to take based on that interpretation Make that action happen effectively Pay attention to many things at once Control feelings in stressful situations Be realistic about your abilities and limitations Motor abilities include the physical part of driving: Operating the controls such as foot pedals, steering wheel and gear shift Moving your body through a range of motion to allow you to see what's around you Conducting shoulder checks to see what is behind you Coordination to steer, accelerate and brake smoothly Sensory abilities include: Seeing what is happening around you which requires good vision acuity and peripheral vision Feeling the controls such as foot pedals so that the appropriate amount of pressure can be applied Though not required to be able to drive, hearing can help you know what is happening around you Post-Crash Anxiety Screen What is a Post-Crash Anxiety Screen? The Post-Crash Anxiety Screen is a battery of evidence-based screens that looks for symptoms related to Acute Stress Disorder and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder consistent with the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual V. It is an on-line screen that can be completed anywhere there is internet access. How long does it take? It takes about 15 minutes to complete. What does it establish? It identifies the level of post-crash anxiety and stress-related symptoms that help to determine the risk of developing a chronic disorder e.g PTSD. What are the symptoms of driver anxiety? Symptoms can be both physical (trembling, sweating, accelerated pulse, dizziness) and psychological (anxiety, panic attacks). Stress-related symptoms can include sleep disturbances and reliving the stressful event. Sometimes symptoms are experienced immediately following the crash, and for some they appear days, weeks or even months later. Anxiety and stress-related symptoms that persist over a long period are considered chronic e.g. PTSD. What are the causes of driver anxiety? The most common cause of driver anxiety is traffic crashes. Being in a bad road accident (or even just seeing one) can be the trigger for anxiety. 25% - 33% of people involved in a crash that resulted in a referral to a hospital experience fear of driving ( Beck JG, Coffey SF (December 2007). "Assessment and treatment of PTSD after a motor vehicle collision: Empirical findings and clinical observations". Prof Psychol Res Pr. 38 (6): 629–639. PMC 2396820. PMID 18509507). Some people find that there is no particular trigger involved; it may just be anxiety focusing on a regular activity as part of a generally rising anxiety state. Is post-crash anxiety normal? It is normal to feel afraid during and after a traumatic event such as a motor vehicle crash. Many people experience a range of reactions after a serious motor vehicle crash, yet most people recover from initial symptoms naturally. Those who experience problems may be diagnosed with acute anxiety or PTSD. They may feel anxiety or fear even when they are not in danger. Do children react differently than adults? From the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH): Children and teens can have extreme reactions to trauma, but their symptoms may not be the same as adults. In very young children (less than 6 years of age), these symptoms can include: Wetting the bed after having learned to use the toilet Forgetting how to or being unable to talk Acting out the scary event during playtime Being unusually clingy with a parent or other adult Older children and teens are more likely to show symptoms similar to those seen in adults. They may also develop disruptive, disrespectful, or destructive behaviors. Older children and teens may feel guilty for not preventing injury or deaths. They may also have thoughts of revenge. For additional information, visit the Learn More section where the NIMH offers free print materials in English and Spanish. These can be read online, downloaded, or delivered to you in the mail. How can I help myself? From the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH): It may be very hard to take that first step to help yourself. It is important to realize that although it may take some time, with treatment, you can get better. If you are unsure where to go for help, ask your doctor. To help yourself while in treatment: Talk with your doctor about treatment options Engage in mild physical activity or exercise to help reduce stress Set realistic goals for yourself Break up large tasks into small ones, set some priorities, and do what you can as you can Try to spend time with other people, and confide in a trusted friend or relative. Tell others about things that may trigger symptoms. Expect your symptoms to improve gradually, not immediately Identify and seek out comforting situations, places, and people Seeking support and caring for yourself are important throughout your treatment and recovery .. DriveABLE Assessments What are the DriveABLE assessments? DriveABLE is an assessment of the cognitive functional abilities related to driving. It has two parts: DriveABLE: The Part I: In-Office Cognitive Assessment (DCAT) The DCAT is a standardized, objective assessment that includes a battery of six tasks measuring 22 variables relevant to the functional abilities related to driving. Though the interface for the DCAT is a computer touch screen, the driver does not need any computer skills. The scoring includes cut-points that are used to determine if the second part of the assessment, the on-road portion is required. The Part II: On-Road Cognitive Evaluation (DORE) The DORE is an evidence-based driving evaluation that assesses the cognitive functional abilities related to driving. It uses a standardized road course that is designed to ensure drivers are assessed fairly and accurately. How long do they take? The DCAT (In-Office Cognitive Assessment) takes approximately 60 to 90 minutes which allows for practice time and questions prior starting the assessment. The DORE (On-Road Cognitive Evaluation) takes approximately 45 minutes. What do they establish? The DCAT (In-Office Cognitive Assessment) measures the cognitive functional abilities needed to drive. The result is represented by a percentage - the higher the percentage, the more impairment of those functions. The DORE (On-Road Cognitive Evaluation) assesses the driver's cognitive functional abilities in real-time driving. The result is either a pass or fail based on the number and type of errors observed. Only errors that are consistent with cognitive impairment are considered in the result. Do I need to know how to use a computer to complete a DriveABLE assessment? No, computer skills are not needed to complete this testing. The in-office portion of the assessment is presented on a computer screen with a simple three-button input. All you have to do is touch the screen or press a button. How accurate is DriveABLE? DriveABLE is the most accurate assessment of the cognitive abilities related to driving. It was developed through years of university-based research and validation. It is highly predictive of actual on-road performance. Is there a fee to complete a DriveABLE assessment? In some jurisdictions, DriveABLE is covered by the government or insurance. In British Columbia, DriveABLE is not covered by the Medical Services Plan or RoadSafetyBC and so is considered a fee for service. However, there are cases where the cost of the assessment is covered by insurance agencies e.g ICBC, WSBC. How can a computer test assess my driving skills? There are many evidence-based neuropsychological tests that measure cognitive processes in the brain. Through research DriveABLE identified the cognitive processes need to drive and chose tests that measure those specific processes. If those processes in the brain aren't functioning adequately, then driving will be affected. Health Professionals When should I be concerned about my patient's driving You should consider your patient's ability to drive safely if your patient: Has a medical condition that could affect cognitive, motor or sensory function including: Alzheimer's Disease Other Dementias Parkinson's Disease Alcoholism Multiple Sclerosis Diabetes Has had a medical event like CVA or MI where you suspect or have identified an impairment of their cognitive, motor or sensory functions Has an injury that affects cognitive, motor or sensory functions e.g Brain injury Is experiencing any decline in functional abilities related to driving Has symptoms which could affect driving competence e.g. mental health symptoms How can DriveABLE help me in my practice? DriveABLE is the only scientifically developed and validated cognitive assessment specific to driving. It can be used to determine if a patient you are concerned about has the cognitive abilities to drive safely. It can also be used to monitor patients diagnosed with progress disorders (e.g. Alzheimer's Disease) where cognitive function is expected to decline over time. This will allow your patient and their caregivers to manage driving and prepare for eventually giving it up. When should I send my patient for a DriveABLE assessment? DriveABLE is an assessment specific to the cognitive abilities related to driving. It provides you with information on whether your patient's cognitive impairment is affecting driving safety. It does not provide information on other functional abilities. DriveABLE is appropriate for patients with a diagnosis of a cognitive impairment (e.g. Alzheimer's Disease) to determine if their impairment is affecting their ability to drive. DriveABLE is a useful tool to use to manage your patient's driving over time to determine when it is appropriate to warn them not to drive. Some government driver licensing authorities use DriveABLE to help make driver licensing decisions for those with a cognitive impairment. DriveABLE is a fee for service assessment (see the DriveABLE referral form for information on fees in BC). How can I use the Post-Crash Anxiety Screen in my practice? Anxiety and stress-related symptoms are common after a motor vehicle crash, but often poorly managed. By using the Insight Post-Crash Anxiety Screen you can determine if your patient is experiencing anxiety or stress-related symptoms early in their recovery. Early identification supports timely intervention which is a factor in preventing a chronic disorder. In addition, subsequent screens can be used to monitor your patient's recovery and identify latent onset of symptoms. As a health professional, what's my role in dealing with my patient's ability to drive? Most people depend on being able to drive to participate in many activities in their lives. Not being able to drive can result in health issues from the emotional stress, loss of independence, and financial consequences. And if your patient is an unsafe driver, it puts all other road users at risk. Therefore, determining the impact a medical condition or injury has on your patient's ability to drive is important to your patient's overall health and to the public's safety. There are a few situations you, as a health professional, could be faced with related to driving: Your patient has a medical condition or injury that you: Think could affect driver safety but you are not certain Know will eventually affect their ability to drive Know has affected their functional abilities to drive A family member or caregiver has reported to you a concern about your patient's driving If you aren't sure if a medical condition or injury is affecting your patient's ability to drive then screening and assessments specific to driving could help make that determination. Some of these are specific to certain functions e.g SIMARD-MD and DriveABLE for cognitive functions related to driving, and others look at all the functions like a full functional driving assessment or on-road functional evaluation. If you know your patient's medical condition will eventually affect their driving then monitoring their driving through regular screening and assessment will help you determine when their driving becomes affected. In some jurisdictions it is mandatory for some health professionals e.g physicians to report certain medical conditions that are known to affect driving abilities. However, any health professional can report a patient they know or suspect is unsafe to drive. It's the driver licensing authorities responsibility to make the definitive determination of whether a driver's licence needs to be revoked, not the health professional. If you know or suspect your patient's functional abilities to drive are permanently affected either from results of driving assessments or your patient's medical status, then you should warn your patient not to drive and report your patient to the driver licensing authority. If the medical condition affecting your patient's functional abilities is temporary e.g. recovering from surgery or a medical event where recovery is expected, then you might not need to report to the driver licensing authority. Refer to the regulation in your jurisdiction to determine what needs to be reported. Legal Professionals How will the Post-Crash Anxiety Screen benefit my client? The Post-Crash Anxiety Screen will provide an independent, objective evaluation of whether or not your client is experiencing post-crash anxiety. What services can I use in my law practice? Insight provides screening and assessment services to help determine the impact your client's injuries has related to driving in a motor vehicle. Anxiety, stress-related disorders and cognitive impairment are invisible injuries that can affect driving a vehicle or riding as a passenger. Left untreated or not treated until late in the recovery process can have a devastating impact on your client's life. Insight's services can help you: Identify, document and monitor anxiety and stress-related symptoms your client is suffering from using the Post-Crash Anxiety Screen Determine if your client's cognitive function related to driving has been impacted by their injuries using DriveABLE Cognitive Assessment - the only cognitive assessment specific to driving Identify and document your client's rehabilitation needs related to driving or riding in a motor vehicle How can I use the Post-Crash Anxiety Screen in my practice? Psychological trauma is an intangible factor for any person who has been involved in a trauma such as a motor vehicle crash. As a legal professional you have most likely seen the signs of anxiety or heard about the symptoms from your clients. Though it is an expected reaction to trauma (like pain from a physical injury) anxiety and stress can negatively affect your client's life either temporarily or in some cases permanently if not identified or treated appropriately. The Post-Crash Anxiety Screen provides you with: Documented evidence of your client's symptoms A report for your client's physician with recommendations related to treatment based on the severity level of the symptoms A means to easily monitor your client's symptoms over time It is recommended to complete the PCAS as soon as possible after the crash to support early identification and intervention which is a key factor in preventing chronic anxiety and stress-related disorders e.g. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Phobia Disorder. What do I do with the Post-Crash Anxiety Screen report once my client has done it? If you have confirmed that your client wants to pursue this injury, you can either have your client take the report to their physician or you can forward the report yourself. It's important that the physician see this report as a legitimate medical report and not something the client has just found online themselves. If required for the legal proceedings, can the list of questions and my client's answers be produced? Yes. Insight can produce the metadata if needed.

Initial Final Page Thoughts.
Ahhh. Everything is going to be OK.
High point.
OK, I tried to just pick one, but I couldn't narrow it down to just one in this case. I LOVED LOVED LOVED THIS BOOK. But anyway- Vera Dietz, one of the most realistic (and likeable) heroines I have ever read, such a compelling story, AS Kings' writing is just ridiculously engaging and I honestly couldn't put it down, well-thought out characters (even the secondary ones), BEST DAD EVER, heart-breakingly honest, FLOW CHARTS and finally, I loved how it was told from different perspectives (even inanimate buildings!)
Low Point.
I feel I need to create a new award for Ms Dietz. The Vera Dietz Soul Sister Prize. She is just so awesome and fiesty and real and honest and perfect and I like to think that we would be friends if we went to the same high school. We would eat Big Macs (and she could have all my pickles because I don't like them!) and bitch about the bitchy bitch slag that is Jenny Flick. Seriously, why can't all heroines be like this? SORT IT, AUTHORS.
Love Interest.
Oh Charlie Khan. You weird one. You treat my soul sister like crap but I'm still rooting for you to get together with her. And then I remember you're dead and my heart is broken and it's not pretty. Thank you, AS King. You write the cutest scenes ever and make me wish I had had a sort of mentally unstable lovecrush when I was 16 who encouraged me to eat napkins and throw paper aeroplanes and then after a few of heart-fluttering moments be like 'Mmm.. yeah, CK is dead and this lovely thing between him and Vera? Yeah, it's not happening. Nor will it EVER.' Gutpunch.
Ugh, Jenny Flick. I went to an all girls school so I knew lots of people like her (not to the same mental state as JF, but definitely the same needless maliciousness that only teenage girls know how to execute to make people's lives hell). The combination of Jenny Flick and Vera just shows how perfectly AS King understands teenagers, especially girls. Even though I hate hate hate her, she is a great character.
Angst Scale.
6/10. Even though death is one of the major subject of the book, it is not what it is all about. Vera isn't sure how she feels about Charlie's death because she wasn't sure how she felt about Charlie. I have given it a relatively low score on the angst scale because Vera is very mature and downplays the grief that is bubbling below the surface. Really effective. Also, the relationship between Vera and her Dad is just perfect, especially because we get a few chapters from his perspective. Jenny Flick may cause angst… but she's a bitch and isn't even worth bothering over.
Recommended for.
EVERYONE. People who like interesting and complex stories. People who want to read books that are set in the now. People who like convincing teen speak and not all 'LOL' and 'LMAO'. People who love strong female mcs. People who like books that aren't all about romance and lurrrve. Or if you are… realistic love that reminds you of summer days sitting with friends when you're supposed to be doing a million different things. People who like Big Macs…and pizza.

The European composer known as Tiago Videira has released his new LP album, titled, "Toy Portugal." The record is comprised of 15 original tracks for an approximate total listening time of 50 minutes. A vivid, endlessly creative and remarkable record, "Toy Portugal" is a classical music album unlike any that has come before it.
"Toy Portugal" is music largely composed for and performed on an actual child's piano – a toy piano –
though it does not represent the only instrumentation on the record. The sound is part harpsichord, part music box, and through it many of Videira's compositions inspire images of dreams, fantasies, circuses and makeshift playgrounds amid the bustling, winding streets of Portugal.
"Toy Portugal is a soundtrack of my past.," writes the musician. "All these pieces are highly evocative and programmatic and they are associated with sounds, places, people and memories of my childhood in Portugal. In a certain way I'm re-living my own history and using a toy piano as my voice, to create my own folklore."
That the album is a work of great character strikes the hearer instantly. That it is the lovingly constructed art of a genius also becomes plain in short order.
"This set of pieces was a very personal project that lasted from 2010 to the end of 2013," Videira continues, "and it was all conceived by myself. I conceived all the pieces and arrangements, I've interviewed and recorded the persons telling the stories, I performed, mixed and mastered all the materials."
"Toy Portugal" has been concurrently released with a songbook, also, which supplies fellow players with sheet music. In addition to piano, Tiago Videira has been playing guitar and flutes since the age of 15. The toy piano, which is (severely) limited to two octaves and physically fragile beneath the hands of an adult, is a recent addition to his talents.
Videira writes of his goals with "Toy Portugal:" "I hope I have achieved a very enjoyable repertoire, suited for the international market, with an 'exotic and ethnic' flavor and at the same time amusing and fun to play. I invite also the listeners to buy the musical score and try to play it. It's also an invitation for them to see the toy piano as a musical resource and as a serious instrument."
"Toy Portugal" is available for listening and as sheet music online worldwide. Get in early.

Spanish world champion Marc Marquez became the first man in 17 years to win 10 consecutive MotoGP races when he rode to a comfortable victory at Indianapolis on Sunday.
Not since Australian Mick Doohan won 10 in a row in 1997 had a rider put together that long a streak.
Marquez, riding a Repsol Honda, completed the 27 laps (112.6km) in 42 minutes, 7.041 seconds, 1.803 seconds ahead of compatriot Jorge Lorenzo (Yamaha).
Italian Valentino Rossi (Yamaha) was 6.558 seconds back in third place, with Spaniard Dani Pedrosa (Honda) fourth in an action-packed race that featured several crashes.
Marquez, 21, also increased his lead in the 2014 standings, picking up 25 points to improve to a perfect 250 points for the season. Pedrosa is second on 161 points, with seven-time world champion Rossi close behind on 157 points after 10 of 18 races.
Marquez started from pole but got away slowly and quickly fell back to fourth place as Rossi took the lead.
On the sixth lap, Rossi and Andrea Dovizioso appeared to have a little contact on a corner and, though they remained upright, both lost speed and Marquez took advantage to pass them both and take the lead. Rossi temporarily dropped to third but surged back to regain the lead.
However, Marquez bided his time and took the lead again on the 11th lap, this time for good, gradually increasing his margin to win at Indianapolis for the second successive year.
American rider Nicky Hayden, who missed the race through injury, said Marquez was dominating the circuit because he did everything well. "He really has no weak spots," the 2006 world champion told Fox Sports.
"He's won races from the back, he's won races where he wasn't necessarily the fastest, he's flag-to-flag, switched bikes, started from the grid and... the thing he does more than I've probably seen anybody is ride on the ragged edge so much and not make many mistakes."

If you need to borrow a small amount of cash for a relatively short time then you might have automatically thought of a payday loan. But if you need to be able repay the loan over a longer period than a month or don't have a bank account then a payday loan will not be an option. Perhaps a home credit loan, more commonly known as a doorstep loan, would fit the bill instead. We've put together a guide to explain this type of small cash loan in more detail. If you read the guide and watch the accompanying videos you'll be in a better position to judge if a doorstep loan would suit your circumstances.
The basic principles of a doorstep loan are the same now as they were 100+ years ago when they were invented:
- You apply online – up to £1000 repayable over a variety of weekly periods (max 52 weeks)
- If the lender believes they might be able to help then they arrange for an agent to visit you at home (hence the nickname "doorstep loan")
- The agent will complete the application process, and if your circumstances allow may provide the cash there and then.
- The agent the visits on a weekly basis to collect the fixed repayment you have agreed with them.
We have relationships with both of the UK's leading doorstep lenders both of whom have developed good reputations over at least 80 years. If you want to know more visit our website www.solution-loans.co.uk. Our broking service is free!

You may remember this post from last month, from a man in formation who expressed his frustration over the classes he was taking. It generated a lot of comments — and now the man himself has added one to that post:
Wow! I think that I ignited a firestorm. I am the author of the post which prompted this particular discussion (A man in formation writes: "I'm quickly becoming frustrated…I'm bored to death"). Yep, that's me.
Many of you have offered some great insight and words of encouragement, which I greatly appreciate. Others seem quick to judge, especially one who hopes that I will never be ordained. (Incredible that we have never met, and you are capable of determining my suitability for ministry.)
I'd like to point out that my post was itself a response to Deacon Norb's January 6 comments on Greg Kendra's [sic] "Now, about all those married Catholic priests…" blog. In his posting, Deacon Norb wrote that "we were told by our priest-advisors-theologians that whenever married men would be permitted into priestly orders, the applicants would come from within the pool of experienced married deacons."
When I wrote, "I have often thought in the back of my mind that, at some point in the not-so-distant future, the door will open wider for a married priesthood in the Latin Rite, with permanent deacons an obvious source of potential candidates," I was merely concurring with Deacon Norb's observations about his own experience. For better or worse, I think that many of us were led to believe that a married priesthood was fast approaching.
Let's also not forget that for centuries, the diaconate in the Latin Rite had, in practice, become nothing more than a stop on the way to priesthood. Little wonder that people still want to make that connection. I don't think that the Church has really figured out what to do with permanent deacons yet; hence, my altar boy comment. As someone else had pointed out, permanent deacons seem trapped between clergy and laity, not really belonging, in practice, to either.At any rate, to view my comments apart from Deacon Norb's posting on the original January 6 blog entry regarding married priests is to view my comments out of context. They were a part of a different discussion.
I do not have any expectation that I will ever be ordained a priest. In fact, I don't feel called to priesthood and wouldn't pursue it even if I could. That having been said, I do truly believe that the time has come for married priests, for a variety of reasons. Yes, there are excellent celibate priests. No, allowing married priests won't solve all of our problems and would likely create a few of its own.
Yes, I am bored with the academic classes in my formation program. Yes, I can help others in my class, "covertly" as one person wrote. I generally don't say much in class, though, because I don't want to come across as a know-it-all. As Ironic Catholic pointed out, it can make for awkward moments. The permanent deacon in charge of my formation does not have an academic back ground in theology. I do. I don't mean that in an arrogant way, either. The fact is, however, that he's not the kind of guy who likes to be challenged, and any comments in class from me are likely perceived that way. In the meantime, I languish away in class.
Yes, the Holy Spirit guides us, but the Church is full of human beings and human politics. If you think otherwise, I'm afraid that you're kidding yourself.
Let's pray for one another and our Church. (And for the handful of you who have been able to ascertain from a blog posting that I'm not called to the diaconate, know that I'm praying for you too.)

The 2XU Sub Cycle Jersey – and its matching bib shorts – are part of a small cycling range from an Australian company better known for its compression, running and triathlon gear. Unfortunately, there's a slight 'first generation' feel to the Sub Cycle that leaves it with some niggling issues.
- Pros: Cools and wicks well, strong style, easy-to-use zip
- Cons: Slightly strange fit, gets smelly quickly, no hem gripper
First, the positives. The Black/Green Shapemania colour scheme is bold and stylish, while bright colours on the back and sleeves aid safety. The elastic topper on the three rear pockets is a reflective silver, but there's enough black elsewhere to stop it all getting too garish. Asymmetric cuff colours are a nice touch. On the downside, if the golf-sock-as-cycling-jersey look doesn't appeal, there are no other colours available.
> Find your nearest dealer here
The rear panel is 'Aero Mesh X' fabric that vents well and dries rapidly, while the front, sleeves and shoulders are 2XU's thicker, though still perforated, 'High Fil Sub' for a little more wind protection. All seams are overlocked bar the sleeve cuffs and hem, which are flatlocked. Nothing itches or chafes, whether the jersey's wet or dry. Silicone grippers inside the stretchy elastic cuffs mean the sleeves stay firmly put.
Strangely, there's no silicone inside the elasticated rear hem, leaving it to ride up relatively easily. It's quite likely to do that, as the fit is aero-efficient tight (the model in these pictures would need a smaller size).
I fall bang in the middle of the recommended chest size for a medium, and the fit is tight but a little strange. The elasticated cuffs are on the verge of being too narrow, while the neck is too loose to sit against my skin. And while it's tight enough across the chest to give a small but noticeable compression feel during hard-breathing efforts, the zip refused to lie flat against my front, preferring instead to undulate all the way down. This creates patches of noticeably cooler air, looks messy, and offers dubious aerodynamics.
With no flap behind it, the zip leaves red teeth marks wherever it does press against your skin, though the grippy little puller extension makes it very easy to adjust while riding. And while we're looking closely, some of the stitching is a little untidy... but don't get too close, as this fabric is the kind that develops smelly pits after a single ride.
Wear it again without washing and the odour actually lessens once the jersey gets warm and moist (honest, guv), but ideally it needs washing every time. The Sub Cycle cleans up well, with no ill-effects from its time in the machine.
2XU says nothing about UV protection, while the rear mesh is very open, so assume it gives none.
> Buyer's Guide: 18 of the best summer cycling jerseys
That's quite a list of negatives, but bear in mind that each is fairly minor and nothing is a show-stopper. None of this was enough to ever make me wish I was wearing something else, as it's cool, mostly perfectly comfy and from a foot away looks great. However, it's enough to stop it becoming a go-to item. With four sizes from XS to L, sizing up won't help, as while it would relax the arm and chest fit, it would only make the large neck and snaky zip worse. If you have skinny arms, a barrel chest and a big neck, however, you may be OK.
While a subtly tweaked Sub Cycle Jersey could be a real winner, competition is fierce. The dhb Aeron Speed jersey may not look as sexy, but it's a great fit, highly breathable and only £55. At the 2XU's price, £80 gets you the Castelli Prologo V jersey, a well-evolved (fifth generation) short sleeve top that's cool, well made, and cut for a slim yet unrestrictive fit. The high-scoring, tight-fitting Santini Tono SS Jersey is also worth a close look at £79.
Bright, good-looking and (mostly) comfy summer jersey that could do with some refining

road.cc test report
Make and model: 2XU Sub Cycle Jersey
Size tested: Medium
Tell us what the product is for
2XU says the Sub Cycle Jersey introduces "the seasonal offering of 2XU's Sub Cycle Jersey in vibrant colours and prints."
Though the company does a large selection of compression, tri and running gear, this is the only short-sleeved cycling jersey currently in its range.
The Sub Cycle is a slim-fitting, mesh-backed top for hot days, with bright colours and reflective trim for good visibility.
Tell us some more about the technical aspects of the product?
2XU says this: "The 2XU Sub Cycle Jersey is engineered with a HIGH FIL SUB fabric for ultimate moisture management and rear AERO MESH X panelling for unmatched breathability."
A mesh rear panel, flatlocked seams and strong grippers keep this jersey comfy in high temperatures. It's generally very good, but look closely and some of the print is a little fuzzy-edged, and not all the stitching is neat.
Slim fit keeps it aero, though a front panel that won't sit flat doesn't help.
It's not exceptionally light, but the upside is a solid-feeling construction. Some stitching is a little untidy, but nothing came loose during the test period.
Sizing is tight-ish and the main body is a good, slim fit, but details niggle. The neck is wide, the arm grippers are narrow and the zip refuses to lie flat against your chest.
A decent slim fit for the stated chest size, if a little restrictive during hard breathing. A wide neck and a flappy front mean sizing up isn't advisable.
On par with many and lighter than some.
Generally good, but sleeve cuffs are a little tight and the zip can irritate the skin.
It's comfy, boldly good-looking and performs well on the bike, but the slightly odd shaping and occasional messy detail let it down, especially for £80.
How easy is the product to care for? How did it respond to being washed?
Washes up well, which is good as the fabric is the kind that can smell after a single ride. It's no worse than many others, and as it hums less when warm and damp than once it's dried out on the bathroom floor, it's not too antisocial.
Tell us how the product performed overall when used for its designed purpose
Cools and wicks well, while the easy-grab zip makes temperature adjustments simple.
Tell us what you particularly liked about the product
Strong looks and good, if not excessive cooling for warm spring days.
Tell us what you particularly disliked about the product
The slightly odd fit and unprotected zip.
Did you enjoy using the product? Yes
Would you consider buying the product? Maybe
Would you recommend the product to a friend? Probably not.
Use this box to explain your overall score
With small tweaks to the fit, some colour options, and perhaps a small price drop to reflect the quality, this would be an easy 7. It'll be interesting to see how the range evolves.
