ReLIFE – 17 (Fin)
Aw HELL yeah! I didn't ask for much, just a happy yet satisfying ending that felt earned, and ReLIFE delivered exactly that. Initially framed by Yoake's final report, things start out in the afterglow of Kaizaki and Hoshiro's confessions. All their friends are super-excited for them, but they keep it very cool and low-key, which is just like two teenagers who are actually adults.
They're both simply savoring every day they have left together, because they don't have a lot of them. It makes you wish they'd gotten together much sooner…but then again, I couldn't have asked for a better way for them to finally realize their feelings for another, and their love only deepens as the days pass, as evidenced by their late night phone call when simply messaging on LIME won't cut it.
Graduation Day comes, and Kanzaki manages to graduate by the skin of his teeth (thanks to Oga). There's goodbyes, notes of goodwill, flowers, smiles…and tears. But there are no tears more bitter than those shed by both Kanzaki and Hoshiro.
He finally gives her a hug, just when she needs one most, and it turns out he needed that hug just as badly. He says it feels like a break-up, even though they'll see each other at the start of the college term. Hoshiro thanks him for being such a transparent yet kind liar.
And that's the last they see of each other in their respective ReLifes—with a tearful embrace, assuring each other they'll never forget each other, even if they know they can't keep that promise.
Yoake congratulates Kanzaki for a marvelously successful ReLife, telling him he can look forward to very promising job placement in exchange for his cooperation with the experiment, and should hold his head high. Meanwhile, Onoya has her exit interview with Hoshiro, who never really warmed up to her newer support.
Describing her ReLife, Hoshiro describes how her heart is "ripped open" by getting close to people only to lose them, but admits she does feel like she changed "a little." After taking her pill and falling asleep, Onoya accidentally discovers a marker Hoshiro used to write "I was in love with Kaizaki Arata", and breaks down at Hoshiro's failure to hide it better, as once Onoya sees it, she has to get rid of it along with all other evidence. It's her job, after all.
Fast-forward to a bit of time after Kanzaki regains his 28-year-old appearance and starts interviewing for the jobs ReLife provided. Ultimately, however, he wants nothing more than to help others as he was helped, so he requests a job with ReLife, and is accepted. Now he is the one visiting shut-ins and other wretches, offering a way for them to find themselves again.
At a ReLife company dinner, Kanzaki arrives a bit late, but a space was saved for him. Turns out the seat he takes belongs to Hoshiro, but it's no big deal or anything, as someone from another part of the restaurant is calling for her. As she turns to walk away, Kanzaki notices the strap on her bag…
At the end of the dinner (well, the first round, but the only round recommended for newbies), it starts to rain, but Kanzaki doesn't have an umbrella. Just then, Hoshiro appears once more and opens the very same green umbrella the two shared just after confessing. She offers to share it, but Kanzaki politely declines, and she starts to head off on her own…but turns and says she heard the higher-ups calling him a test subject.
She then mentions her own stint as a subject, how it lasted two years, and how her supporter pushed for her to get a job at ReLife, and she took a position in the pharma section. Kanzaki asks if she'd tell him about her ReLife, and she compares it to…fireworks, like the ones she saw at the festival with her friends.
They both latch onto the spectacular yet fleeting nature of fireworks, and eventually both remember flashes of that night when Hoshiro told Kanzaki he was like fireworks. I tellya, I got an absolute thrill out of watching them gradually put the pieces together in their heads.
You could say the fireworks…sparked their memories, heh-heh. Once he recalls Hoshiro in her red yukata looking up at the sky, Kanzaki calls her by her name. Hoshiro needs just a little bit more, but she eventually remembers writing the note on her hand as she cried after taking the pill. And that's it: in spite of the lab's efforts, they found and remembered each other…and it didn't even take that long!
Now, while the ReLife procedures were concluded with all due diligence, I'd like to think both Yoake and Onoya played roles in facilitating a reunion. Yoake accepting Kanzaki's request to work for ReLife; Onoya predding Hoshiro to work there as well…even telling Kanzaki that Hoshiro's seat was his in the restaurant.
But while the supports made the conditions more favorable for a happy ending, at the end of the day they were just that, support. It took Kanzaki and Hoshiro being friendly, open, and honest with each other, and especially Hoshiro bringing up how she heard he test subject, like her, at that crucial moment.
If she hadn't they might have gone their separate ways, perhaps forever. But I'm immeasurably chuffed she did, and the resulting re-connection was nothing short of mesmerizing. Time for some #Adulting!
ReLIFE returned quite out of the blue to rip my heart out with the prospect of tearing apart two lovely people who had only just found each other…only to painstakingly reconstruct that heart, and fill it back up with love until it almost burst all over again, only in a good way!
Of course, you're mileage may vary, depending on whether you read the entire web manga (I did not) and your particular emotional investment. Clearly, my investment was significant, and one and a half years of time away didn't dull it in the slightest. This was a big win.

ReLIFE – 16
Well THAT escalated quickly! Christmas is approaching, and after Kaizaki recommends an almost too-pure-for-the-world Oga to just take Kariu anywhere and they'll have fun, he suddenly finds Hoshiro not only avoiding him, but bolting away like a scared chipmunk whenever he makes eye contact.
Kariu and Tamarai kinda already know what's up; both Kariu and Oga previously pegged Kaizaki and Hoshiro as being in love, so they convene in the locker room to get it from the horse's mouth. Yet all Hoshiro can say about her feelings is "I don't know." Kariu, suddenly the mature one to provide the advice, tells her "I don't know" isn't going to cut it…not when she's just "one step away."
Later, Tamarai simply advises Hoshiro to ask Kaizaki on a date, just as Oga advised Kaizaki to ask Hoshiro. But just when Kaizaki thinks their distance couldn't be any greater, Hoshiro sneaks up behind him and asks him if he's free on the 25th and to expect further details by LIME.
That night, Kaizaki is a nervous wreck, but finally gets those details, along with another silly Hoshiro cat sticker. Hoshiro makes it clear it's a date and she's looking forward to it. After getting the all-green from Yoake, Kaizaki isn't about to turn her down, even if he believes it will "ruin her Christmas" when she inevitably forgets all about him.
The date starts out a bit stiff, but both parties seem to be enjoying themselves immensely as they mill around the mall doing date stuff. In an adorable little detail, Hoshino, completely unaware that "Christmas" dates typically happen on Christmas Eve, set the date for Christmas day, but that ends up working out just fine, as it's a lot less crowded.
The montage of their date is a somewhat creepy montage of photos taken by Yoake and Onoya, who are keeping a respectful distance but still watching and listening to their charges like hawks…while trying to get in some Christmas chilling of their own.
When Onoya acknowledges with a somber look that both of the lovebirds will forget all about their wonderful date, Yoake, always trying to find the silver lining, says that won't mean it never happened…which, fine, but dude, that's not the same of having a date and remembering it! The latter is much better, and these two deserve much better!
Yoake, having at least a sliver of heart, sends a quick message to Kaizaki informing him it's actually Hoshiro's birthday. When she gets him a present for Christmas, he gets her one for both Christmas and her birthday, bringing a warm and appreciative smile to her face.
When the two go up in a Ferris Wheel, Hoshiro asks Kaizaki what his birthday is. He tells her it already passed in August, and both get very troubled and pained when they say they'll just have to celebrate it next year, knowing full well (at least at this point) that next year won't happen for them, and saying they'll never forget today. It's hard to watch, I tellsya!
But even if nothing romantic happens on the Ferris Wheel, things turn around on a bridge. Kaizaki impulsively reaches out and takes Hoshiro's arm as if to hug her, but she draws back. Apologizing, she tells him how much he's "on her mind", and the more he's on her mind, the less she understands what to do.
It's all the opening Kaizaki needs. He tells her she's on his mind to, and that he loves her. That in turn allows Hoshiro to take the one final step Kariu was talking about: she tells him her feelings for him are the same.
With that, it suddenly starts raining. Ever prepared, Hoshino breaks out her umbrella and holds it out for Kaizaki. He takes hold just above her hand, but she puts her hand over his before they walk away together into the dark sacred night.
I honestly have no idea where things will go from here, and I can't rule out the possibility Yoake will have his way and their memory of one another will vanish, which would be an appalling tragedy. That's why I wouldn't have minded if this was the final episode.
After sixteen episodes of these two, things are exactly where I want them. Will I regret watching one more episode? Am I a fool for hoping some kind of happy ending is still possible? One, perhaps, in which they meet and hit it off as strangers? Hey, I'll take a relationship respawn over a system failure any day.

In this outing the Aoba Fest, with its maid/butler cafe and stalls and bonfire, comes and goes fairly briskly. Kaizaki and Hishiro alike try to make the most of their second chance at a pivotal time in high school life, but it's a decidedly bittersweet experience.
It's obvious why it's sweet: the festival looks like a lot of fun, especially when much of it has Kaizaki, Hishiro, and their friends dressed to the nines. After Hishiro tried to get Yoake to slip up and tell her Kaizaki is also a subject, she tries to find out for herself by grabbing Kaizaki's arm and drawing close to him, as if they were dating…with inconclusive results.
She could interpret him as being uncomfortable because he's really an adult, or he could just be flustered because she's acting out of the ordinary, which she kinda is. The bitter part comes when the festival ends, when Kaizaki laments that he'll "vanish" when his ReLife ends.
Yoake corrects him by saying he has to take solace in knowing he left his "mark" with these high schoolers; things happened in their lives that wouldn't have happened without Kaizaki.
Onoya has a similar chat with Hishiro, telling her to take pride in the fact she's taken a "lovely step forward" by taking an interest in someone like Kaizaki. Whether it's true love or not, that's something the pre-ReLife Hishiro couldn't do.
Yoake's attempt to cheer Kaizaki doesn't last when his class undergoes college counseling. Both he and Hishiro choose to go to Aoba U like Kariu and Oga, even though they know it's "pointless" since in reality their ReLifes will end and they won't be joining their friends, nor will their friends remember them.
Any way you look at it, that stings. That stings hard enough to wonder if it was a bad idea to do a ReLife in the first place, even when one considers how socially and emotionally improved it made them.
It stings enough for Kaizaki to ask Yoake if he really has to go back to his old life, and has to let all the friends he's made forget about them. Yoake reminds him that Kaizaki didn't become someone new in his ReLife, he regained the friendly straightforward person he was.
But that restoration couldn't have happened if Kaizaki hadn't lived his life as he had before ReLife, which he's now asking to discard. Yoake tells him not to give up on "Original" Kaizaki; "High School" Kaizaki is, after all, only an illusion.
Onoya, having only just started becoming Hishiro's support, has nevertheless been engaged with the whole crew for some time now, and unlike Yoake, hasn't quite accepted what they're doing and sees the end result as cruel, sad, and scary.
Continuing his role as comforter-in-chief, Yoake tells her ReLife isn't about enjoying every moment to the fullest in a life that is fleeting by design, and all they can do in their capacity as ReLife staff is support them with everything they've got, without regrets.
That night, Hishiro resigns herself to the fact there's really no way to find out for sure whether Kaizaki is a fellow test subject, and there's no point in thinking about it…yet she can't stop thinking about it. Could that mean it's not so pointless after all?
The next day is class photo day, and Kaizaki and Hishiro both know that it's a photo in which no one else in the shot, not even the good friends they've made, will remember them.
They'll be like "ghosts" in such a photo. And yet, just as the shot is taken, they look in each others' directions, holding out hope that a fragment of a memory will still remain in someone's mind when they look at this photo.
Must all of the dream-crushing things the vile Yoake says really come to pass according to plan? Must these two people really forget one another? I, like them, certainly hope not!

Well, this is a nice surprise on the second day of Spring when there's a Nor'easter pummeling my coast: a bonus episode of one of my favorite shows of 2016, ReLIFE! These four new reviews won't make much sense without watching the 13 that came before, which I highly recommend. You can catch up by reading my reviews here.
When we left the main couple of Hishiro and Kaizaki, we knew they were both subjects, but they didn't know that they were, and so maintained a distance that was not bridged, since they both assume they'll lose contact with the other forever because of the nature of ReLIFE.
Still, both have benefited tremendously from their experiences as high schoolers, and continue to do so. Meanwhile, real high schoolers Kariu and Oga are now an item, while Yoake is transferring Hishiro to his junior Onoya now that she's entering an "unprecedented" second year.
Hishiro now rather strongly suspects that Kaizaki is a test subject like her, but Yoake will neither confirm or deny it, while warning her that if she learned that he was a subject, it would spell the end of his experiment and an immediate severance, and Hishiro would never see him again.
With that in mind, Hishiro treads carefully, but is still eager to learn the truth. To that end, when Kaizaki is made the class boys' cultural festival officer, she volunteers to be the girls' officer. They work tremendously well together and the paperwork flies off the proverbial desk.
Their work is momentarily interrupted by a problem Oga is having. He got in a fight with Kariu for shooting down the idea of her coming over to his place after a date, because he didn't want to hurt his older shut-in brother and feared Kariu wouldn't "approve" of him.
Kaizaki and Hishiro put on a veritable friend-cheering-up and advise clinic, with Kaizaki assuring Oga that the best way to act around family is naturally, without hiding anything, while Hishiro assures him if he just tells Kariu what's up, she'll accept it; in fact, she's probably mad because he didn't in the first place.
Afterwards, Kaizaki and Hishiro exchange words of mutual respect. Kaizaki, unaware that Hishiro is a fellow adult, continues to be astounded by her maturity and wisdom beyond her years, while Kaizaki's very accurate suspicions persist.
The two continue festival prep, and Oga and Kairu make an appearance to show they made up nicely, but later in the day, when Kaizaki returns to the classroom to find Hishiro worn out and asleep at her desk, he resists the urge to touch her head in affection, while in his head admitting he's fallen for her.
So, we've come a little further from the fireworks festival episode, in that Hishiro is on to Kaizaki (the level of her surety is up for debate, but the fact she's right is indisputable) and Oga and Kariu are doing nicely as a couple. But both Kaizaki's ignorance of Hishiro's true age and Oga's veiled threat prevented all the truth from coming out. We'll see if that happens in the next bonus episode.

7 Awesome Non-Romantic Couples of Summer 2016
Summer 2016 has shaped up to be bursting with interesting boy/girl relationships that aren't necessarily (or in some cases, even remotely) romantic. Just friends, BFFs, best buds, call 'em what you want, they've already made a huge impact this season. Here are seven of our favorites. If you know of one we missed, let us know in the 'ments.
Heavy Spoilers Throughout.
Takamiya Naho x Suwa Hiroto (Orange)
Orange is primarily focused on the potentially future-and-life-saving romance between Naho and Kakeru, but Naho's friends play a key role in facilitating her mission, and none more than Suwa. Indeed, in the future where Kakeru dies Naho marries Suwa and they have a child, but both of their future selves seemed committed to making sure their past selves saved Kakeru. That meant Suwa putting his own feelings for Naho aside.
Now that they both know about each other's letters form the future, Naho and Suwa have a strong, unique non-romantic relationship. In the circle of friends, Hagita and Azusa are another romantic couple in the making, leaving Suwa and Takako, who we think should be a couple so everyone's paired up and happy.
Kariu Rena x Kaizaki Arata (ReLIFE)
Remember ReLIFE? Zane semi-binged in the first two weeks July, and it was full of great character pairings. Most were romantic: Kariu and Oga (better late than never); Kaizaki and Chizuru (a pairing potentially doomed by circumstance, but not dead); An and Ryou (who weren't fooling anyone).
But one of the best combos wasn't romantic: Kariu and Kaizaki. He helped end her misunderstandings about Chizuru's behavior and brought them together as friends, and then Chizuru helped Kariu repair her friendship with Honoka. Kaizaki was also instrumental in getting Oga to realize his feelings for Kariu, leading to them finally pairing up at the Summer Festival. Being friends with and helping Kariu out also helped Kaizaki come to grip with his own social issues.
Utara Canaria x Suzaku Ichiya (Qualidea Code)
Ichiya has been and continues to be a twerp in QC, but his friendship with Canaria was one of the most humanizing things about him. His boorish "I'm all we need" arrogance is borne out of his intense desire to be strong enough so that his friend doesn't have to fight (even though he was at his best when she was buffing him with her song).
Not the most original dynamic, but the fact Ichiya and Cana were never even hinted at a romantic couple (and never acted awkwardly towards each other) made the couple more interesting.
Sadly, Canaria was suddenly killed off after just four episodes and all evidence suggests she's not coming back. Since she was the only person Ichiya cared about in the world, he's not so high on the world right now.
Hoshino Yumemi x Customer (Planetarian)
This show only spanned five quick episodes, but still packed an emotional punch, and dealt with some very elemental Asimovian themes when it came to human-robot relations.
At first, the customer was impatient and indifferent to the planetarium host without an audience. But her relentless positivity wore him down, and he became enamored of the idyllic island in a sea of apocalypse she represented.
He became so fond of Yumemi that seeing that she made it out of the Sarcophagus City with him safe and sound became as much a priority as surviving, making it all the more tragic when she disobeys his order to stay put when she senses his life is at risk and she sacrifices herself to save him. Thank goodness her memories are backed up!
Yukihira Souma x Tadokoro Megumi/Nakiri Erina/Nakiri Alice/Mito Ikumi (Shokugeki no Souma: Ni no Sara)
Yukihira Souma didn't come to Totsuki Academy to find a girlfriend or wife, but he DID come to make friends. And that what he considers all the girls listed above: friends, whom he can talk with casually about a number of subjects, bounce ideas off of, and, of course, cook with (or against), enjoy meals with, and learn from.
Souma's female friends don't feel like an anime harem because it isn't one; there are certainly actions and reactions from all of them that suggest they harbor affection or even some feelings for him, but Souma generally treats them non-romantically, as equals.
Which is just as well: his ideal woman would be someone with the qualities of all four: Megumi's warmth, humility, and inner strength; Erina's uncompromising pursuit of culinary perfection, unwavering confidence, and veiled decency; Alice's technical know-how, cheerfulness and humor; and Nikumi's infectious earnestness and generosity.
Crusch Karsten x Natsuki Subaru (Re:Zero)
If you told us eight weeks ago that one of Subaru's most intriguing friendships would be with one of his beloved Emilia-tan's rivals for the throne of Lugnica, you would have sounded preposterous. Yet here we are. Crusch and Subaru aren't exactly friends, but they do share mutual trust and respect for one another, which is an important step towards friendship…without the slightest hint of romance.
What's interesting is how this was achieved: through trial and error (and some death and suffering), Subaru finally arrived at the formula of things to say, and when and how to say them (as well as the conviction to back those things up), to make Karsch believe him and agree to his plan to defeat the White Whale. The result of that battle remains to be seen, but it's nevertheless impressive to see how far these to have come.
Compared with the other two candidates introduced along with her (Anastasia and Priscilla), Karsten's character has been given the most depth and opportunity to empathize with her as a fully-dimensional person rather than a set of personality traits. Subaru shared a drink on the terrace with her, grovelled in vain and elicited her disgust, and finally came to her with head held high and an alliance she could get on board with. The fact she can magically detect when Subie is lying literally keeps him honest!
Yatrisino Igsem x Ikta Solark (Alderamin on the Sky)
The undisputed crown for best non-romantic couple of the Summer are these two ridiculously-named characters from Alderamin. Preston has gone on at length about what makes these two so fun and riveting to watch, but it all comes back to the fact that you just can't put them in a simple box like "siblings", "lovers", "soul mates," or "brains and brawn."
Instead, they have their own box: the Yatori & Ikta Box. Beyond friends, beyond family, and frighteningly effective as a duo, keeping each other out of trouble and making each other better. We were sold on them before an episode aired detailing how they met and forged their unique bond; after that portrait our regard for them only grew. These two make this show.

Something's definitely up with Hishiro as the final episode opens. You'd have to be Oga not to see it. All the LIME texts flying around about feelings and confessions, taking closeness for granted and fearing long separations.
Hishiro wonders, very logically, why one would put oneself through the "pointless" hassle of falling in love or confessing that love to someone you know you'll be separated from.
Well, as the saying goes, better to have loved and lost, etc. And then there's always a chance one's assumption of being separated…turns out to be wrong, even if she doesn't know that yet.
Hishiro arrives to her first festival late and flustered; bold and resplendent in her deep red yukata (a color she asked Kaizaki if he liked in the preview for this ep). Due to the crush of people and unfortunate positioning, it's Yoake, not Kaizaki, who is by her side when she needs an arm for support, whil An clings annoyingly to Kaizaki.
Sure, knowing what we know in this moment, An's the better bet, as she won't lose her memory of him when his year is up. But things are about to get more complicated in that arena.
But first things first: Kariu intends to tell Oga how she feels about him, and Oga intends to tell Kariu how he feels about her. Their friends do a masterful job quickly ditching them, putting them both on the spot, having no idea of the each others' intentions.
Oga takes the initiative, simply blurting out "Hey Kariu. I, uh…love you," surprising both me and Kariu. Way to go, sport! The words hit Kariu like a ton of bricks, and as her mind races about all the ideas she had to confess to him, she gets shoved by a passerby.
Oga grabs her hand and draws her near, and that's when Kariu confesses she's loved him for years now, bowling him over with equal elation. He adds that he's probably loved her for a similar period of time, but needed Kaizaki to help him spell it out. They then hold hands and watch the fireworks together, on cloud nine…just eight minutes in, and we get a big win, making me wonder what else is in store for us in the finale.
Tama notices Kaizaki and Hishiro aren't around, but Yoake and An shrug it off, having set Kaizaki up to be along with Hishiro. She asks him pointedly about Yoake, but not as someone interested in Yoake. Rather, she voices her admiration for Kaizaki's ability to so quickly amass good friends, inspiring her to try harder.
Kaizaki counters that she's surrounded by friends too, and she's "tried plenty hard", but she still gives most of the credit to him, adding she's really glad she met him…which really confuses Kaizaki!
He goes over in his head what she meant, but settles as he's settled all along; happy she feels that way, and grateful for his ReLIFE, brief as it is. Hishiro then points out how lovely the fireworks are, and Kaizaki adds that they're a little sad too, since they're so fleeting and then fade in the darkness.
As the fireworks flash and bang about, a flurry of thoughts and memories fly by, going in backwards chronological order. It's a concentrated retrospective of everything Hishiro's been through these past thirteen episodes, ending with her telling Kaizaki he's in her seat…and then a cut to black.
Yoake introduces himself to an older Hishiro Chizuru. That's right, she was Subject #001, the one Yoake failed. Not that big of a surprise, I know—all the clues have been there all along—but still good to see it confirmed here and now, during those fireworks.
Hishiro's whole problem all this time has been the same as Kaizaki's: she's afraid of having too much fun or being too happy or falling too much in love, lest it hurt that much more when they part ways. "You're like the fireworks," she says to Kaizaki, while the fireworks are too loud for him to hear. She doesn't repeat herself.
The two return to the others, and after celebration of Kariu and Oga confessing to one another, find themselves alone together again. It's here when Hishiro states that her position from the beginning of the episode has softened in light of Kariu and Oga coming together. Now she knows worrying about the future at the cost of happiness in the present is a waste.
There's no dual confession here, no matter how close either Hishiro or Kaizaki come, they always stay on that precipice, because they both believe the other will definitely forget them. But since they're both ReLIFE subjects, I doubt that will happen. It's just a tremendous shame they don't know that right here and now, you know? They're both content with less than they should have, all due to a gross misconception.
This is a tough pill to swallow (heehee), particularly becaue unlike Kariu and Oga, it's a plot device, and not merely emotional obstacles, keeping these two apart. But I understand. Practically speaking, the manga isn't over, and this show covered most of what's already been published.
Basically, ReLIFE gave us something we wanted—Oga and Kariu together—but left everything else up in the air, as if to say "Don't get greedy!" I wasn't a fan of Kazaki saying again and again that he'd be forgotten when this show has proven optimistic enough for me to think there's a realistic hope of him and Hishiro becoming an item.
I hope they do, in a future second season down the road, which I would watch the shit out of, no matter how much they dragged it out (after all, it took three seasons of Working!!! for the main couple to finally confess, and I watched every episode).
Until then, this was a very nicely done high school dramedy, and I especially appreciated being able to watch it at my own pace, instead of still being stuck on episode two!

It's the end of the term and time for Summer Break – or in Kaizaki's case, more lessons and make-up exams. There's talk of the future. Oga mentions taking a look at universities other than the one Aoba High is affiliated with. Kariu gets restless.
Spring is classically when a young man's fancy turns to love, but in Oga's case, it's Summer, and not without a considerable push from his de facto best mate Kaizaki, who has denied and is apparently content to continue to deny himself romance, since none of his high school friends will remember him at the end of the year.
At an impromptu adult celebration (i.e., with beer), Yoake and An mock his academic troubles, but also want the skinny on the Oga + Kariu impasse. Yoake also lauds his ReLIFE time as a "one year, limited edition of youth" he's not taking full advantage of.
Kaizaki simply groans at that, but the next day when he has Oga alone, he really presses him on who he likes. When he says "everyone", he forces him to narrow it down based on certain criteria. Once those criteria enter Oga's head, he visualizes who else but Kariu.
One hot Summer evening while Kaizaki and Oga are walking home proves to be the clincher as far as Oga realizing how he feels about Kariu. He spots her talking to a man in a suit who seems to be trying to get her into his car. Then she gets woozy and the man has to catch her.
This is very confusing and not at all okay for Oga, who springs out to get to the bottom of it. Turns out, the man is Kaizaki's kohai from last week (small world!) who saw that Kariu had heat stroke and didn't want to leave her alone.
Oga offers to take her home, and because of Kariu's state of mind, she lets her sincere, grateful side show, which Oga remarks at flippantly and gets punched for. "We're always like this," Oga says with a laugh. "It's fun!"
He has no idea how much Kariu's heart skipped upon hearing that, but on their silent walk home and late into the night, all Oga can think about is wanting to hold her hand.
Officially in love with Kariu, like he always was without knowing it, Oga reports the revelation to Kaizaki, who is appropriately obnoxious, but also privately proud of both Oga and himself for giving him that little nudge (though Kaizaki's kohai deserves a smidgen of credit too).
Yoake, An, and Hishiro join in the discussion of what the next steps should be, and when Oga mentions how much experience with girls Kaizaki's had, Hishiro flashes her first forced smile in a while, clearly miffed by the implication (just as she was miffed her pleasant walk to school with Kaizaki was interrupted by An).
Oga rises above all the chatter and bickering and makes the decision to invite Kariu to the Summer Fireworks Festival, in a text that bowls her over and has her wondering if he sent it in error (though he invites her by name, so that's impossible).
She reaches out to the other girls, who also got invites, and realizes Oga invited everyone. She laments getting worked up for nothing, but agrees to go anyway. Inviting everyone is "just like Oga", after all.
By the way, I really loved the energetic song that was played before, during, and after the credits: "Summer Festival" by Whiteberry, a super catchy, boisterous ode to life and youth featuring vocals that are just the right amount of off-key. Interestingly, it was released as a single in 2000, when Kaizaki (28 in 2016) was only 12. I figure it's a song from his MD collection…

Last week's cliffhanger portended a rough road ahead for all parties involved, and a galaxy of possibilities in terms of if, and how, the conflicts would be resolved. But judging from the first four episodes, I was confident ReLife would resolve everything relatively quickly, but in the most narratively and emotionally satisfying way. The right way: no shortcuts, no lies, and no running away.
As it turns out, both Kaizaki and Kariu were knocked out by their fall down the stairs, so there was no immediate confrontation between them and Hishino. Instead, Kaizaki wakes up in the infirmary. Hoshino and her bag are gone, so the mystery of where she went and how she feels about what she saw is always hanging in the background, adding tension to an already tense scene.
Before Kariu comes to, Kaizaki pieces together what happened, and he remembers back when he was training at his job. When the woman training him started out-performing the men, they turned on her and started working to knock her down, sullying all the hard work they'd done to get to where they are.
Kaizaki remembers his trainer saying she wasn't mad, but sad that they had given up trying to fight fair. Now we know one reason Kaizaki quit his job; rivals had twisted into vindictive enemies. It happens all the time.
Kaizaki knows this, because he's 27. He's lived ten years more life than Kariu or any of his other classmates. And so, without even thinking, when Kariu comes to he lectures her the way a 27-year-old would lecture a 17-year-old.
His own baggage comes into play, as he makes the connection between what the "filthy adults" stooped to at his workplace and what Kariu is doing; telling her he's not mad, but "very, very sad", and that she's too young to be acting like this. Kariu blows up at him, caling him too self-righteous and too self-assured, considering they're the same age. But much of what he said still hit home, even if it was delivered with a bit too much, shall we say, adult authority.
Kaizaki tells her what she's overlooked: sure, she hasn't been able to beat Hishiro or Honoka, but she's still bettered herself. Her hard work wasn't for nothing, and she shouldn't give up. Not only that, she has the wrong idea about Hishiro, because they've barely ever spoken. Kaizaki delivers this advice knowing full well he himself gave up, but like both Hishiro and Kariu, he's trying to change. And he is!
That wonderful exchange (with more baller work from Tomatsu Haruka) would be about all we could reasonably expect from a good episode…but this is a great episode, which means Hishiro is waiting at the gate when Kaizaki, and later Kariu, leave the infirmary.
Kaizaki initially lies about Kariu taking the bag because it was "dangerous to have it in the hall", but changes his mind and tells the truth, remembering Yoake telling him not to clear all the thorns. Hishiro reacts as one would expect: with calm, cool logic. She doesn't know the right answer, so she'll ask Kariu upfront. (There's also the matter of her heart panging when she saw Kaizaki hugging Kariu, but she wisely tables that issue for now).
Kaizaki may be hiding in the bushes to watch how it goes (with Yoake), but both of them stay out of it when Kariu comes out and sees Hishiro. Kariu doesn't run, nor does she try to lie and say she doesn't hate Hishiro, because at the moment, she kinda does.
The source of that hate had been cultivated each time Hishiro flashed her one of her scary mocking smiles, so when Hishiro assures her she never meant to mock her, and Kariu talkes Kaizaki's advice and asks her to smile on demand, it dawns on her that she misunderstood; Hishiro is simply very socially awkward.
It was Kariu's own issues with her than caused her to interpret it as mocking. Also, well, it really does look like she's mocking her, but hey, that's why you talk things out with people!
When Hishiro tells her all those smiles were meant to help them become friends, Kariu lets out a hearty laugh; part in relief, part in amazement. She also realizes Hishiro wasn't ignoring her handshake, and when Hishiro puts out her hand this time, Kariu takes it and agrees to be friends…as long as it's clear they're also academic rivals.
That's fine with Hishiro, who is so happy to have made a new friend, she smiles for real, surprising and dazzling Kariu in the process.
So, all's well that ends well in the Kariu/Hishino Conflict! The operative word there being end, as the show had the guts to lay all the cards on the table and hash everything out in this one episode. Dragging out the misunderstanding would have only kept us from what are sure to be other great stories involving, say An.
I really enjoyed Kaizaki and Yoake celebrating like adults with beer and cigarettes, as Kaizaki gets a thank you from Kariu for ratting her out to Hishiro, realizing it was in her best interest. Kaizaki still isn't sure he didn't spare her the ugly truth about life, the truth he saw firsthand and drove him from the workplace.
But Yoake assures him he didn't lie, either. There's a happy median between blatant sugarcoating and outright nihilism. And even though Kariu won't remember Kaizaki in a year, she'll remember what he said to her if and when she runs into the same obstacles he did later in life. The episode closes with a triumphant shot of Kari sitting with Hishiro at lunch, the rest of the group happy and relieved. On to the next high school crisis!

ReLIFE takes things to the next level by delving deeper than ever before into a character other than Kaizaki, namely Kariu Rena. We've been able to infer since we met her that she considered her silver pin more than just a mark of status, with all of its perks and privileges, but a symbol that she was "good enough" to stand beside Oga.
It's the kind of subject no one dare even bring up in her presence, but we're privy to it because we're in her head. She can't hide how she feels there. But now Hishiro has the silver pin, and Hishiro is beside Oga and calling him "Kazu-kun," while casting sneering, haughty, and/or victorious smirks at Kariu, as if to rub salt in the wound.
Obviously, it's not Hishiro's intent to antagonize Kariu—quite the contrary; she thinks she's on the cusp of starting a friendship with her—but all that matters is how Kariu is interpreting Hishiro's faces and overall behavior, and because Hishiro isn't aware she's doing any harm, she can't stop the vicious cycle that builds and builds like a knot in Kariu's stomach.
It's not just Hishiro, either: Kariu would at least have a release valve in athletic greatness, but her friend Honoka beats her on the volleyball court as easily as Hishiro beats her in test scores. To make matters worse, it doesn't seem like either girl exerted the slightest effort to best Kariu. They just did it.
When Oga, who is totally tone-deaf when it comes to matters of the heart, tries to invite Hoshino to eat with them, Kaizaki and An read the room and realize what a bad idea that is, since Kariu is right there, already staring daggers into Hoshino.
While Kaizaki handled that lunch situation about as well as he could, it doesn't change the fundamental problem of Hishiro not wanting to be a loner but still eating totally alone. Kaizaki has to balance his desire to help Hishiro live a happier high school life while trying to stave off all-out war between Kariu and Hishiro.
All this is to say that Kaizaki cares. These "kids" he shares his life with day to day have become important to him; and thus his life starts to revolve around them. Yoake advises caution—sometimes kids need to fall and feel pain sometimes so they learn something—but welcomes Kaizaki's newfound concern for his fellow man, something he didn't really have as a NEET.
But all of Kaizaki's progress is put into jeopardy when the tinderbox that is Kariu finally catches. In a moment when Hishiro is simply trying to reach out to her, Kariu storms off, but immediately afterwards sees Hishiro with Oga again, and wonders if she smiles at him like she smiles at Kaizaki.
Kariu's frustration builds late at night while practicing in the gym, after Honoka leaves with her childhood friends and there's no one around but herself and her thoughts. When she returns the gym key and finds Hishiro's bag outside the lounge, she decides to steal it, just to try to get back some semblance of control; to, for once, hurt Hishiro, rather than the other way 'round.
Her caper doesn't go so well, because Kaizaki happens to cross paths with her on the way to dropping off the study room key. Kariu tries to lie, but Kaizaki sees and recognizes Hishiro's bag; the jig is up. Kariu tries to run, Kaizaki tries to stop her, and Kariu starts to fall down the stairs…
Just when I thought some weird looks from Hishiro were going to end up landing Kariu in the hospital or worse, Kaizaki puts his creaky old body on the line and makes a shoestring catch, only to end up falling with her the rest of the way.
Hishiro hears the crash and goes to investigate, and finds Kaizaki and Kariu huddled together on the bottom of the steps, with her bag in Kariu's arm. Roll Credits.
While I'd like to think Kaizaki can call a time out and explain all of this, the fact of the matter is, the most logical explanation for what Hishiro sees is that Kaizaki and Kairu conspired to steal her bag together, which means they've got it out for her, which means Kaizaki never wanted to be her friend, putting all of his interactions with her in a new light. Hishiro is a bright kid but inexperienced in social skills, and may well believe the worst.
I still hope they can sort it out somehow, but it doesn't look good. What started out as a sight gag (Hishiro's funny faces) has turned quite dark and serious. But hey, I'm not complaining: this is some damn good high school drama, de-aging pill or no. Kariu's seiyu Tomatsu Haruka deserves particular praise for her sympathetic performance.

Kaizaki may be Yoake's project, but Kaizaki has made Hishiro his, with entertaining results. Her manner of returning 1,000 yen to him is nothing short of inspired, while her attempts to smile at Kariu end up giving the redhead the mistaken impression that Hishiro is looking down on her (figuratively).
The growing disconnect between Hishiro's intentions and Kariu's interpretations ends up being the primary driving force for an episode that's otherwise pretty light. It goes without saying that despite his youthful looks, Kaizaki's body is still every bit 27 years old, and his lack of warming up for a ball throw results in a paltry one-meter toss and lots of shoulder pain.
We also meet the childhood friend trio of Tamarai (Kariu's athletic rival, but also friend), Inukai, and Asaji.
When trying to be friendly with Kariu, Hishiro only manages to add fuel to the fire that she somehow has it out for Kariu, not remembering her name and failing to shake hands properly, along with that creepy smile that is the envy of anime villains everywhere.
Kaizaki actually gets off to a great start in the 50m dash, but trips and falls hard, prompting health rep Asaji to princess carry him to the nurse; a demoralizing new low for Kaizaki, but thankfully school isn't all about sports!
Things look up when Kaizaki learns Hishiro shares his route to school. When they arrive together, Kariu spots Hishiro smiling naturally (because she's not consciously trying to smile), confirming her belief Hishiro is the type of girl who is mean to other girls but nice to the guys.
All the while, Kaizaki seems resigned to the fact no one will remember him in a year, so it's not like he's trying to start a romance with anyone. At home during his log entry, Yoake is glad Kaizaki is making faster progress than "Sample 001" in his first month of his ReLIFE.
At the moment, Yoake is more concerned about the cumulative emotional damage being done to Kariu, for which Kaizaki is indirectly responsible via his suggesting Hishiro smile more. Judging from those dead eyes, it doesn't look like Kariu's going to put up with Hishiro's faces much longer.

The test scores are in, and a great many things become known. In ten years, Kaizaki forgot between 75% and 96% of everything he learned in high school the first time around. Kariu is mad about losing the class rep job to Hishiro not because she can't get free lunches, but because she has feelings for Ooga. Finally, Onoya has even worse test scores than Kaizaki…and she's a real high schooler!
These two need tutoring, and Ooga is happy to serve the role as tutor, but gets more than he bargained for when Kaizaki and An start digging into his relationship with Kariu, including their matching earrings. I'm liking how quickly yet naturally the circle of friends is coming together.
I also liked Kaizaki's outsize reaction to An whipping out her cell phone; once a capital crime in his day, now students use them with impunity (outside of class, that is). Or how he takes Hishiro's reaction to his lending her 1000 yen (that he's like a grown-up) literally; worried the brainy girl is on to him.
Hishiro comes to dominate the latter half of the episode as Kaizaki makes it his mission to get her to come out of her shell a little more. The fact her forced smiles are so disconcerting is proof of how genuine and straightforward she is; the only smiles she can make are real ones, all of which were triggered by Kaizaki being nice to her.
At the beginning of the episode, Hishiro has no friends; now she has one, and of her own choosing, boldly asking for Kaizaki's phone number. Hishiro really shines in this episode, greatly aided by her adorable character design…and Kayano Ai's adorable voice.
Ryou, who was skulking around corners the whole episode, observing Kaizaki from a distance, not only suggests he try to quit smoking (the smell lingers, plus no one will sell to someone with his new babyface), but also not to get too attached to anyone. Apparently, when the year-long experiment is over, everyone young Kaizaki interacted with will forget him, because he'll be back to being 27.
Not like that's something he'll be able to explain if they every learned, but this still seems like a downer, especially considering Kaizaki will remember them, and will likely not feel so great as a result. When Hishiro told Kaizaki she had to rush things, that this was her last chance, it reminded him how confident he was that his future would go the way he thought it would.
It didn't, and ReLIFE is ostensibly the path to getting somewhere closer to his ideal future (or even creating a new one). But having to sever all his new bonds at the end of the year seems like a steep price to pay for that future. As I watch the next eleven episodes (at my own pace), it will be interesting to see if he ever tries to haggle over that price. Hishiro—callsign "Sorry Cat"—is someone worth knowing. Could she also be a bond worth preserving, even if it breaks Ryou's rules?

ReLIFE – 01 (First Impressions)
27-year-old NEET Kaizaki Arata meets Yoake Ryou of the ReLIFE Laboratory, and agrees to participate in an experiment aimed at rehabilitating NEETs. Arata takes a pill that makes him look ten years younger and endures a taxing first day as a third-year high school student, with Ryou as his observer.
Anime in which the MC re-lives their life in one form or another are nothing new—ERASED being a recent example—so a new take on it requires good execution. ReLIFE largely succeeds by keeping things light (aside from a couple of dark-ish moments).
The science of Arata's transformation is thankfully not explained; suffice it to say the pill is a means to an end: a second chance at having a successful adulthood (as measured by Japanese society). Arata has a healthy skepticism initially, but as he's just been cut off by his parents, he can't very well turn down job that guarantees a year of living expenses.
The veneer of seediness inherent in a secretly 27-year-old hanging out with high schoolers is quickly washed away by the exhilaration inherent in an adult being plunged back into the crucible of youth with no manual. Young people don't just look different, they talk and act different as well, and while settling back into long-forgotten patterns is no cakewalk for Arata, it's engrossing to watch.
This show has a nice even core of six main characters, including Arata and Ryou, and we get a quick intro of the other four in short order. Three are girls: the aloof brainiac Hishiro, the prickly-yet-kind Kairu, and the peppy Onoya, who takes an instant liking to her fellow transfer student.
Like I said, the first day doesn't go so well, with Arata constantly drawing attention to himself and the fact he has no idea what he's doing yet. This culminates in the teacher, Amatsu Kokoro, finding a pack of cigs in his bag and calling him to the teacher's lounge after school.
Arata has to write an apology letter, but when he applies his 27-year-old charm and perspective on Amatsu (who in reality is two years younger than him), her initial harsh manner softens considerably. It comes as no surprise the person at school he's able to interact with most successfully is the one closest to his real age!
Of course, he'll have to learn how to interact (again) with teenagers and start acting like one himself (at least a very mature teenager). Ryou intends to give him a wide berth in terms of how he'll spend the year, be it keeping his head down in the background or making a big "Springtime of Life" splash.
But Ryou wants Arata to remember the purpose of the experiment is to reform NEETs (a label Arata dislikes); ending up right back where he started in the beginning of the episode would mean the experiment failed.
Arata's year will likely fall somewhere in between the two extremes of high school life and exposure, and the credits indicate he'll befriend all the other four core students one way or another. I for one am excited to see how this experiment shakes out.
P.S. I am aware the entire 13-episode run is available all at once, Netflix-style, but I won't be marathoning. That being said, I may well finish reviewing it faster than if it aired once a week. Think Prison School pace.

Note: the default drivers "nv" work with X but are extremely slow and crash often as compared to the drivers released by nvidia. Hence, for better perfomance and support you should under all cost obtain them.
Firstly if you are installing on Freebsd 4.8 you need to enable options USER_LDT in ur kernel. On Freebsd 5.0-RELEASE it is enabled in the GENRIC kernel by default.
The command make setup will create the nvidia and linux laod module...for furthur info check the README on the nvidia site.
Often the module is not loaded right away type kldstat to check and see if it is. Else load it by urself or reboot. But before you do anything else we want to use the AGP driver it accelerates and speeds up X. I use the Freebsd AGP driver and find it excellent. Edit /boot/loader.conf and add a line agp_load="YES"

Our proficiency and expertise in rock groynes, timber groynes, geo bags and geo tubes are often combined with other Waagner Biro Gulf LLC specialties such as design, profiling, dredging and even sand replenishment, to establish functional and sustainable beaches.
One excellent example of this is the lagoon at the uninhabited Al Yasat Aali Island where a private residence has been built on a coastline that was previously shallow and unusable.
The beach required full coastal engineering and a variety of disciplines that Waagner Biro Gulf LLC could not only provide but was able to carry out in a quick and cost-effective fashion as the whole project could be performed in-house.
The beach was stabilised through a series of rock groynes, adding breakwaters to ensure no further eroding of the sand. The lagoons were dredged to create a lagoon suitable for swimming and suitable for jet skiing. Finally, a boat and jet ski berthing facility was constructed.


Use of dry gas seals for sealing shafts of centrifugal compressors seals has increased dramatically during the last 20 years because these shaft seals provide many benefits for the end user. In gas seals lubricating oil is not used, thus it can no longer contaminate the process. In addition, since there is no contacts between the sealing disks during normal operation, there is no friction, heat build up or wear, which otherwise would be a problem at high speed and pressure.
This seal model has calculated maximum pressure capability of 500 bar. Today the standard maximum pressure is 200 bar, but with extra tooling the seal can be made with the maximum static pressure of 350 bar.
The applications include hydrogen compressors in hydrocracker units in oil refineries and gas injection compressors in oil fields.
This seal model features diamond coated silicon carbide faces with varying depth of grooves, which greatly extends service life of a gas seal. The typical application of this dry gas seal is PCL 804 series centrifugal compressors in natural gas pipeline transportation and distribution networks.
This is a very compact dry gas seal. This seal is used in compressors in oil refineries and petrochemical plants, and in natural gas pipeline transportation and distribution networks.
In addition to complete new seals and control systems, a package to retrofit a compressor from "wet" oil seals to dry gas seals is available. In this very popular package, besides seals, engineering, control panels and necessary new parts are included.
Example: Report on compressor retrofit from wet mechanical seals to dry gas seals at a Rosneft plant.
Control panels, Emerson (Fisher/Rosemount) based (useful when upgrading from oil mechanical seals or for supply to OEM).
In addition, nitrogen generation, air supply systems and temperature & vibration monitoring systems can be offered.
All manufactured dry gas seals are run on test rigs at working parameters as well as beyond them (speed). Customers are welcome to visit our facility for a witnessed test. The procedure is as per API 617 Standard.
The list of completed projects can be sent to you on your request.


During the 5-day correction in the SP500 (which ended Thursday) I went to 11 LONGS, 3 SHORTS. So all I am doing here is aggressively managing the immediate-term risk of this market's range. #GetActive remains one of our Top 3 Global Macro Themes for Q413.
Unconventional markets call for unconventionally active risk management.
In other words, the immediate-term risk range = 1 and, from an intermediate-term TREND perspective, there's mean reversion risk down to 1734 TREND (-4.1% downside) versus +0.4% upside from the all-time closing high of 1808.
The less I try to over-think this, the better. The math works more than it doesn't.


Rich white guy's death still mysterious.
So, I watched the Soaked in Bleach documentary on Netflix the other night. Here are some random thoughts.
1. Synopsis: Famous, semi-interesting crazy lady may have had something to do with the death of her fairly uninteresting rock star husband.
2. Seems pretty clear that the Seattle police botched the crime scene and followup; but hey—what else is new? Cops will be cops.
3. Seems pretty clear that there's compelling, more-than-circumstantial evidence to support re-opening the case as a homicide, rather than a clear-cut suicide—but, well; referring back to #1, we have to ask ourselves how we define "compelling." There are quite a few cases that would take priority over this one, if we're actually going to spend the time and resources.
4a. Guilty until presumed innocent, etc. Can't convict someone on the strength of one documentary.
4c. Heroin is a hell of a drug, etc.
7. Anyhow, RIP and a splash of liquor to the murdered, the gone-too-soon, the died-too-young, the unfairly-taken, the unjustly-deceased and the never-forgotten; among this uncountable crowd: Kurt Cobain. Rock stars' deaths get more attention than those of ordinary humans, but that doesn't mean they're more important. A cursory, superficial Google of the terms, "cops," "black" and "killed" will readily turn up a grim crateful of cold and still-warm cases that could use a bit of that righteous spotlight.

COMMITTEE SUBSTITUTE
H. B. 2740
(By Delegates Manypenny, Doyle, Mahan, Guthrie, Canterbury, Iaquinta, Barker, Hartman, Brown and Hatfield)
[Passed March 10, 2012; in effect ninety days from passage.]
AN ACT to amend the Code of West Virginia, 1931, as amended, by adding thereto a new section, designated §36-4-19, relating to housing associations making covenants and other restrictions that restrict the installation or use of solar energy systems unenforceable after effective date of section; defining terms; and providing exceptions thereto. Be it enacted by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That the Code of West Virginia, 1931, as amended, be amended by adding thereto a new section, designated §36-4-19, to read as follows:
[June 10, 2012]
ARTICLE 4. COVENANTS.
§36-4-19. Solar energy covenants unenforceable; penalty.
(a) It is the policy of the state to promote and encourage the residential and commercial use of solar energy systems and to remove obstacles thereto to promote energy efficiency and pollution reduction.
Therefore, any covenant, restriction, or condition contained in any governing document of a housing association executed or recorded after the effective date of this section that effectively prohibits or restricts the installation or use of a solar energy system is void and unenforceable:
Provided, That a housing association may, by vote of its members, establish or remove a restriction that prohibits or restricts the installation or use of a solar energy system. (b) For the purposes of this section:
"Solar energy system" means a system affixed to a building or buildings that uses solar devices, which are thermally isolated from living space or any other area where the energy is used, to provide for the collection, storage, or distribution of solar energy; and
"reasonable restriction" means those restrictions that do not effectually result in a prohibition of their use by eliminating the system's energy conservation benefits or economic practicality.
(c) This section does not apply to provisions that impose reasonable restrictions on solar energy systems including restrictions for historical preservation, architectural significance, religious or cultural importance to a given community.
Nothing in this section precludes the regulation of solar energy systems by state and local authorities which may establish land use, health and safety standards.
Nothing in this section precludes housing associations from restricting or limiting the installation of solar energy systems installed in common areas and common structures.


Over the past six months my knitting time has decreased and my learning time has increased. I've begun working with a local organization known as the Saskatchewan Literacy Network (SLN). What does this have to do with stitching? Knitting is never far from my mind and, as I learn the finer points of literacy concepts and essential skills, I find that they are infused throughout all my activities, especially knitting.
I began my travels through the land of literacy and essential skills with a very antiquated and narrow definition of literacy. I held the notion that literacy is about education levels (reading and writing) and that is all. I have since come to know that literacy is much more than that. It is about how we understand and move through the world around us. Literacy is no longer associated with only reading and writing activities. Improving literacy skills is no longer only for those with lower levels of education. We can all find something we need to understand better. Financial literacy, digital literacy, health literacy, media literacy, and workplace literacy are some of the areas where we can all improve. Remember, we are all learning all the time and improving our literacy (or understanding) is a lifelong pursuit.
What did I find as I navigated through unfamiliar networks, varying definitions, and complicated concepts? I found that knitting literacy (check out this paper about improving student achievement through knitting) is a concept I already knew and could apply to my understanding of the more complicated concepts of literacy and essential skills. The world of literacy involves an understanding of Nine Essential Skills, as defined by Human Resources and Skills Development Canada (HRSDC).
Essential skills are the skills we need and use every day in order to be successful in our communities, at home, and at work. They include: reading, writing, numeracy, document use, computer use, critical thinking, working with others, oral communication, and continuous learning. We use these skills in nearly everything we do from participating in our writing communities, to cooking meals at home, and to evolve with our professions. They form the basis of all other skills we use in our lives, and that includes knitting.
Yes, knitting. I have thought about this for quite some time and thought I'd share with you how these essential skills are used by knitters every time they pick up two sharp, pointy sticks and transform a ball of string into works of art.
I use reading and comprehension skills to make decisions on the pattern I want to use, to research techniques, and yarn choices. I read magazines, stitch dictionaries, blog postings on the internet, and other resources to learn new techniques and understand current trends in the knitting world.
I use document use skills every time I pick up a pattern and bring someone else's vision to life. Knitters, you know how difficult it can be to work your way through complicated lace charts, intricate cabling designs, and to understand the twists and turns of knitting related instructional material. Without a firm understanding of how to use and interpret patterns (documents) our knitterly pursuits will end badly.
I use computer use skills whenever I log onto Ravelry, use social media to connect with knitters across the world, and whenever I place an online order with my favourite yarn company, yarn stores located in faraway lands, or www.ebay.com. Without a firm understanding of computers and how to use them, I would miss out on scooping up that antique darning egg off eBay and wouldn't have known about the beautiful stash cast offs from an Eastonian knitter.
I use working with others skills whenever I plan a stitch-n-sip meeting of the Saskatoon Knitting Circle.Members and I work together to ensure that everyone has a great time, enjoys stimulating conversation, and can easily participate in meetings that happen across the city of Saskatoon. We talk about politics, work together to solve knitting related disasters, and share our experiences and knowledge with one another. Without an understanding of this essential skill I would be knitting in isolation and miss out on opportunities to connect and share with other knitters in my community.
I use oral communication skills whenever I explain a knitting difficulty I've experienced, help another knitter sort out a problem, and when describing what a knitterly lifestyle is all about. This essential skill is all about relaying a message or instructions so that it is easily understood by others.
I use continuous learning skills each time I learn a new technique, learn something new from another knitter, and every time I open a knitting magazine or newsletter. Knitting is all about continuous learning. We are all learners all the time!
These Nine Essential Skills are the bedrock of our understanding of the world we live in. They are like the basic knit and purl stitch. We all struggled with them at the beginning of our knitting journey, but we also quickly realized that these two seemingly innocuous stitches ruled our knitterly world. They are the foundation on which all knitting greatness is built. Without a solid understanding and grounding in each of the essential skills (or the knit and purl stitch) we have a difficult time participating in our communities, at home, and at work (and knitterly enjoyment).
How do you use each of the Nine Essential Skills in your community, at home, and at work?
What role do the Nine Essential Skills play in your knitterly pursuits?
Are there other skills that you deem essential to accomplish your pursuits in knitting and life?
This is great and so very, very true. I love the analogy of Essential Skills as the bedrock, like the knit and purl stitch. Wonderful post. Keep them coming.
Thanks for stopping by, Diana. The analogy seemed to work well and bridged the two concepts nicely.
totally what 'embedding literacy' is all about . . . thanks for poutting it into perspective!
Thanks, Holly. As the "new kid" in the literacy world, I am constantly looking wrap the new concepts and idea I'm learning within my own experience. Knitting and essential skills seemed destined to work together!
I just love the way everything in the universe is interconnected. Being able to make connections, as you have between literacy and knitting, is a wonderful gift. Thank you for sharing your exploration of literacy, knitting, and essential skills.
Thank you for this kind compliment, Linda. I love the interconnectivity of the components that make up our lives. It seems to me that is those of us living those lives that is the connector between all the parts that make up the whole.
Stitching and living are always happy in my world!
I love your incorporation of literacy into the everyday! Well crafted blog, Bonnie.
Thanks! It means a lot coming from someone as accomplished in the world of literacy as you!

Summer Food Service Program is administered at the Federal level by the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS), an agency of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). In South Dakota the Department of Education administers the program for local sponsors throughout the state.
The Summer Food Service Program provides meals to children in low-income areas when school is not in session. Throughout South Dakota, sponsors such as schools, private non-profit organization, and government entities participate in providing meals during school vacations.
To participate in the program, a sponsor must first determine if it serves a low-income area. The sponsor may have an area with 50 percent of the area's population qualified for free or reduced priced meals, which allows all children age 18 and under to eat meals for free. If a select group of low-income children participate in a program that is not in a low-income area, each child will qualify and if over 50 percent of those in the program qualify for free or reduced priced meals each month, all the children 18 years of age and under in attendance at the site may receive free meals. Camps are an exception; both residential and non-residential camps must collect and maintain income eligibility forms. Camps are reimbursed only for those enrolled children who meet the free and/or reduced price eligibility standards.
Applications for the Summer Food Service Program will be completed through the iCAN system. Log into the iCAN system found at https://ican.sd.gov/ICAN/Splash.aspx after March 28, 2019. SFSP Administrative Training. Contact the CANS office at (605) 773-3413 or doe.icanhelp@state.sd.us to establish a sponsor profile or obtain a user id.

Big Croc and UCL Thai Society Super Sunday Session Report
An unexpected delay to kickoff and chilling winter conditions accompanied by frosty winds did little to dampen the performances of the UCL Thai Society football team as Pipe scored nine goals on the afternoon to lead Big Croc to five victories, two draws and three losses.
Prior to the match, Earth posed with the Samaggi Games football trophy – won by UCL this February at Lilleshall Sports Centre courtesy of the golden goal from Pipe against Imperial in the final. Talks revolved around preparations for the competition Bath following the trophy photograph as players discussed about team kits and transportation for the tournament, which will be held on February 7. The two teams, the Veterans and the Freshers, will both need to be revved up for the harsh weather of February; not only is February one of the toughest months of the winter season, but the early sunset times and the strong evening breeze will also be unfavourable whilst the semi-finals and finals get played under the floodlights.
The Crocodiles were led by Pipe and Ball and got off to two straight 2-0 wins, with Earth pulling off an instrumental display scoring three out of the team's first four goals. Earth eventually reached five goals in total as his prolific goalscoring streak proved pivotal in the early success of the team. The Crocodiles had Pipe to thank for as usual, with the team's legend getting off to an energetic start by opening his account in the second game and then scoring the winning goal in one of the team's tightest matches, which was won 1-0 by the Crocodiles. Meanwhile, Ball scored the match-winner in one of the team's 2-0 wins after playing an excellent attacking combo with Pipe, smashing a well-judged pass into the roof of the goal; the midfielder also played a key role in shaping the defence and made plenty of crucial blocks and interceptions throughout the session.
Tan scored two amazing goals in one of the Fresher's 2-0 victories over the Crocodiles, and also bagged a sensational goal from long range which swerved past the goalkeeper with a massive deflection off a defender. Jai also got on the scoresheet against the Crocodiles, notching a clinical equaliser in one of the games with a low drive into the bottom left corner, though his team would later lose 3-1 as goals from Pipe and Earth sealed the triumph. The playmaker then demonstrated remarkable talent in the late stages by cleanly dispossessing Pipe with an impeccable tackle, and it was the first time that Pipe was overwhelmingly outsmarted by a challenge from a Freshers team player.
There will be more on the two teams from UCL in the weeks prior to the Games as the teams prepare to formally register their players and submit their squads to the organising committee for the tournament. The news of the draw will come in due course.

The latest polling out of Arizona provides more indication that the race to become the state's next U.S. senator is moving in GOP Rep. Martha McSally's favor.
A New York Times/Siena College poll showed McSally beating Democratic Rep. Kyrsten Sinema by 2 percentage points, 48 percent to 46 percent. The survey — conducted between Oct. 15 and 19 — reached out to 606 people across the state.
It carries a margin of error of 4.2 percent, indicating the election is still a tossup.
While the race is still anyone's game, the latest poll shows a change in direction for McSally. Over the summer, the Republican congresswoman and combat veteran was trailing Democrat Sinema by as much as double digits. However, the GOP nominee has since closed the gap and now is now leading in the RealClearPolitics average of recent surveys.
In an ABC poll released Oct. 9, McSally lead by 6 percentage points.
Earlier in October, audio was uncovered that revealed Sinema — an ardent opponent of the war in Afghanistan — saying during a 2003 radio interview that she "didn't care" if Americans took up arms with the Taliban. The line was a sharp contrast to McSally, a former Air Force combat pilot who flew missions against the Taliban during the Afghanistan war.
In an interview with a local news outlet on Wednesday, Sinema refused to repudiate her past comments.
Do you think Republicans will gain Senate seats in November?
Her anti-war organization also invited an occult group on at least two separate occasions to participate in protest rallies.

E & M Presents "Kaboom!"
"Lookout, SCIENCE is Coming!!"
After all, science surrounds us. Everything we do and deal with in our lives is science. Understanding science helps kids appreciate and relate to the world around them.
In character, Doktor Kaboom is an over-the-top German physicist with a no-holds-barred passion for science (and comedy). Sporting chrome goggles, orange lab coat, motorcycle boots and wicked cool hair, he's been described as "Part Mister Wizard, part Mr. Rogers," "Better than Bill Nye" and "Spectacular – nobody can captivate an audience better" (Broadway World).
Seattle-based David Epley (Kaboom's alter ego), grew up expecting to be many things, including a research physicist, biomedical engineer, mathematician, astrophysicist and marine biologist. "So of course," Epley said, "I became an actor."
For almost three decades, Epley has written, directed and performed his original, improvisational comedy throughout the U.S. as well as internationally. In 2006, he decided to bring science back into his life. Blending theater and science turned out to be a dream come true and opening multiple doors leading to the most fulfilling work of his life.
"Teaching, inspiring and empowering the minds of our youth, and reminding their parents to be an active part of the equation – how could someone's work be any more rewarding," Epley shared.
In "Lookout SCIENCE is Coming!" expect the Doktor to invite young volunteers from the audience to assist in the show he describes as: "A series of surprisingly spectacular and often successful demonstrations of the physical sciences, with a focus on the scientific method, including an homage to tabletop catapult, illusions of the mind and chemical reactions."
Through character-driven comedy, Epley strives to empower, excite, educate, entertain and improve society's understanding that all science is for everyone. "Every child is intelligent, creative and valuable and should know that about themselves," Epley said. "Science is not hard, but it does take effort. That's not hard, that's just work and that's just life."

Chile determined to claw their way back in rugby league
Home / Chile / Chile determined to claw their way back in rugby league
April29April 29, 2020
Chile Featured Hot news In Focus Latest News
AFTER bursting onto the international rugby league scene, only to be humbled several times in the space of a year, South American pioneers Chile are determined to claw their way back.
And the Weichafes, the first Latin American side to contest a World Cup qualifier, are calling on their full contingent of eligible players to stand up and show what the nation is capable of at top strength.
The Chileans suffered heavy defeats to both the USA and Canada at the 2018 Americas Championships in Jacksonville, then relinquished their Latino Nines title to El Salvador in Sydney less than 12 months later.
However, at both events the Chileans only had roughly 50 per cent of their best players to select from, with others unavailable for a variety of reasons.
RFL13 Chile director and national coach Rodrigo Millar said identifying players of elite ability who were eligible, either residing in Chile or of Chilean heritage, was still an imperfect science.
"We would like to develop a comprehensive database of all those born in Chile or with parents or grandparents from Chile, who have experience in rugby league," Millar said.
"I would like to send an invitation to those who have been unavailable before, or unsure of whether to nominate, to raise their hands.
"Obviously developing home-grown talent is our path to a successful future, but to give a true account of our nation's capabilities, we also need to utlilise the cream of what's available."
After first contesting the Cabramatta Nines in 2015, Chile soon established themselves as having the best men's team from Latin America.
They defeated El Salvador 58-20 in their first 13-a-side international, went undefeated for more than 10 games in Latino Nines competition, then secured a memorable win against Argentina in the final of the historic 2017 Latin American Championships, held in Los Angeles, Chile.
For the championships in Chile, the Weichafes used just four players who had experience playing the game abroad, with the remainder from their domestic competitions, which covers an 1800km expanse.
However, to make the step up to tackle World Cup contenders from other parts of the globe, Chile is aware it must grow.
"Our future is our youth. Dedicating domestic resources towards developing school-based competitions is an absolute priority," said Millar.
"We'll also be looking at a women's competition and ways to generate revenue in general across the sport in Chile.
"At the moment we receive no money from food or drinks at our venues, and the sale of alcohol at these events is prohibited.
"We've had some success with support from local councils, but we can develop those relationships and build new ones.
"Outside Chile, improving our levels of engagement and interaction with the global rugby league community, and working hand-in-hand with the NRL is of great importance as well."
Currently Chile is ranked 32nd in the world in rugby league and 29th in the world in rugby union.
Although Millar says he has never looked at the 15-man game as an opponent to the 13-man game in Chile – he says they both provide opportunities – he does think being measured against a sport which was founded more than 80 years ago in Chile is a compliment to his young organisation.
