Keith Richie: "Skylines" – magnetic electronic overtures, from city to city!
Posted By: Rick JammPosted date: February 26, 2016 in: New ReleasesNo Comments
Keith Richie is a puzzling artistic character; sometimes essential, sometimes sophisticated, somewhat rustic, oftentimes complex, and yet essentially urban in outlook. But there a few things he never seems to exhibit: monotony, indifference, or ineptitude. Instead he appears in full flower on his latest 9-track release, "Skylines", an album of remarkable breadth, depth and ambition. The album features musical interpretations of major city skylines from across the globe. The music captures Richie's visions of Seattle, New York, Beijing China as well as unique album versions of the previously released singles, "Seattle Walk", "Lost in Beijing" and "Goodbye Dubai".
Keith Richie
It is precisely Richie's lack of sneering musical superiority that makes "Skylines" such a treat. These layered instrumental arrangements and electronic pop structures could all have been an exercise of ego run amok, like a bad progressive rock album. But that doesn't happen. Instead, we are treated to a song cycle so fresh and honest I hardly know where to start. From the sweet pulsating gentleness and ever expanding melody of the opening number "Seattle Walk" to the nearly magnetic electronic overture of "City of Angels" that comes afterwards, one gets a glimpse of what will follow. Imagery follows tone follows place follows events both personal and public in a seamless fabric. By the time we are through with the racy synths on "Windy City", Richie has already taken us through a small American symphony of ideas.
The mood is quietly shattered with the over eight minutes of "Lost in Beijing", which switches continents. If this one doesn't make you nod your head slightly, or tweak your little toe a bit, check your pulse rate. I'm not sure if Keith Richie has assiduously frequented all these places, but my question was, "Can a songwriter express the spirit of a place he's never called home?" Richie weaves various instrumental textures into a tapestry of places iconic, obscure, and intriguing. Possible myths, memories, and personal anecdotes are recalled and swept up with electro symphonic flourishes, as Richie reaches to where most others would need words to do so. Beautiful, haunting, and incredible complexities are executed in such an expert way that they seem simple and right.
The album is lovingly rendered all the way through, and Richie comes across as not only a musician but as a consummate symphonist. Enrapturing arrangements such as "Manhattan Nights", "Sun in Central Park" and "Big Dreams", leave no doubt about this. Keith Richie has so far created very high expectations for each album he has released since 2006's "The Maestoso Interstellar Suite". However my expectations were again surpassed with the stunning music on "Skylines". Good headphones are revelatory for this one. To shuffle the songs or pick out a few is almost a crime – "Skylines" is a complete work of astonishing freshness, and I find it difficult to imagine how Keith Richie will top this effort in the near future. Though I am more than certain that he will!
About: Keith Richie, born 1969 and based in Mesquite, is a musician and composer for Ambient, Symphonic Electronica and Soundtrack music. Keith first became obsessed with electronic music in the early 80's by being exposed to the fascinating music of John Carpenter, and later Tangerine Dream which are two of his biggest influences. Additional major influences include Carbon Based Lifeforms, Enya, Deep Forest, Kraftwerk, Vangelis, and Christopher Franke. Most of his work reflects those major influences.
Keith Richie Discography: In 2006 Keith released his album "The Maestoso Interstellar Suite". This album contains a continuous piece of space music split across 6 movements. In 2008 he released "La Famille Du Solénoïde", which is a musical tour through our solar system, inspired by the book The Planets by Dava Sobel. Four years later in 2012 brought the release "For the Willow Wept". A collection of soothing electronic music about those once lost and those found.
"March of the Inanimate" was released in October 2014 and pays homage to the classic horror movie soundtracks produced by John Carpenter and Alan Howarth who co-wrote the music to classics such as Halloween, the Fog, and numerous others. "Ambient Highways", released in August of 2015, represents a collection of songs that range from a melancholy like feeling to an exuberant state. On February 12, 2016 the album "Skylines" was released.

Really, it is. The fact that I'm writing this and that there are people in Brazil, Japan, South Korea, Germany in addition to the United States who are reading this just makes my head spin. It's nuts to be able to click on the analytics for this site and see that at 10:47 someone in the Carolinas spent 10 minutes reading things here, oh and that their ISP is Road Runner is just as trippy as knowing that someone in Dubai spent a few minutes this morning at 4:45 am reading the things I just spew here.
So, world, from suburban DC, good morning.
The world is fascinating to me.
A few weeks ago we had the gang from an MTV show that is in development in to hang with us. It's called "the Buried Life" and they asked me what I wanted to do before I left this sphere we call home. I said "see more of the world than I have".
Because there's more to the world than the East Coast, LA, Florida and Texas.
I've been out of the country before, but mostly to Western Hemisphere destinations - like the USVI, the Bahamas and Jamaica. But what I really want to do is go across the pond as it were - and spend time in the UK. I want to see Dubai personally. I want to visit Japan and embrace cultures which are totally different to me. I don't know why, it's just that there's so much to experience in life, I guess. And, I really believe that experiences are the best teacher you can have.
I've gotta go get my fitness on now. One of the "Kyla's-back-with-mom-goals" I always make for myself but that I need to keep this time. More on that on a later post. I finally got back on a normal sleep schedule. Life changes are, well, fun. They're even more fun when you should be used to them but you aren't.
Have an amazing day, today, friends. Get what you want and do it your way. And don't apologize for it.
Oh, here's some good stuff to read from previous posts here. Got a great email on radio leadership from a friend. Also, here's some thoughts on Kyla here and here. And here's some obnoxious backstreet boys and rob thomas stuff. And Demi Lovato, too. And Blake Lewis.
I totally agree with u, life has more to teach us than our lil small world, but mom always taught me that to get to know another cultures and different countries I should know mine, go to each and every state, beach, city and try to learn new things with people who live there. I know u know Brazil is such a Big country and we have small countries inside this big one, each and every one with different cultures, foods, dances, music, religion, and It's amazing to catch a plane and cross the country and find out that they are Brazilians too, u know. I'll send u some pics that I have from my country. Nice post, really nice!


Invention projects do not have to be a massive hassle.
Incorporating inventions into school projects can be a difficult task at times because you are theoretically working with something that does not yet exist; however, narrowing the topic down to easy inventions and easy invention teaching ideas will help to make the process more educational -- and less tedious -- for the teacher and the students.
After a unit on different inventions, divide the students into groups. Tell the students that they must come up with a new invention entirely by themselves. They will have to do research to ensure their creation is unique. You might want to give the students total freedom, or you could provide a category for them to work with. For example, ask them to create an invention related to transportation or to education.
Assign each student, group of students or the entire class a specific project to work on. For example, require them to follow instructions to make an origami hang glider, a hot air balloon out of a plastic jug or a spinning balloon (see Science Toy Maker in References). Another option is to give them a specific task, such as designing a new type of musical instrument that is smaller than a guitar or a tool for writing with your feet.
Assign students a specific invention or allow them to pick their own. They must write a research paper about both the invention and the inventor. Within the context of the essay, require them to answer questions such as, What inspired the inventor to make this creation? How did the invention help other people? Is the invention still used today or has something else come along to replace it? Students should share their research with the class.
Assign simple interdisciplinary activities to show students the connections between inventions and the rest of the world. For example, they could read a short biography on one of the many famous inventors throughout history. Tie in math and instruct students to make a scale drawing of one of their favorite inventions, or bring artistic skills into the picture by asking students to draw a comic strip that depicts the creation of their favorite invention.

This recipe is inspired by the amazing and wonderful Julia Child.
When I first bought my Instant Pot, suggested by the wonderful Kassia Krozser, I mainly used the recipes from friends or those that came with my manual, etc. Now I'm beginning to convert my favorite stovetop and slow cooker recipes (although the Instant Pot can be used as a slow cooker, too) to use in my IP.
Potato and Leek soup, or the fancy French name – Potage Parmentier – is my goto soup when it begins turning cold. Although it was still 60 degrees November 28th in Oklahoma, but let's just call that cold because I want soup. My favorite thing about this soup is that it's not only easy to make, but the ingredients are wholesome and easy to find. For someone who is not a foodie, this is great news.
Afterwards, I mashed my potato with a masher and then added the butter and voilà (fancy French word) my soup was ready. Now you can garnish it with parsley or chives and bacon or even cheese, but I just prefer it simple with some nice crusty bread.
The cool immersion blender is all the rage, but I just prefer to use the masher because 1) it's the way Julia would have done it or 2) I'm only flirting with the cool immersion blender, and not fully ready to commit (I'll let you decide).
Some great books to read while the pot is doing its thing – Julie and Julia: My Year of Cooking Dangerously by Julie Powell and of course, Mastering the Art of French Cooking by Julia Child. There's also this gem: As Always, Julia: The Letters of Julia Child and Avis DeVoto.
You can keep up with my books and my experiments with food by signing up for my newsletter here.
As always, follow the safety instructions that came with your Instant Pot.

Google Reader is my main RSS feed reader. It is online 24/7 and catches all my subscribed feeds everyday. Google Reader does not installed on my computer and so I don't lose any hard disk space because all the feeds are stored in Google server. Google Reader is fast and convenient, but it lacks one feature that I think it is very useful, folders or tags renaming function.
Although Google Reader does not support that feature, but there is a way to rename or move your RSS feeds to another folder. Let say we want to rename Folder A to Folder B. Here is how to do it.
Go to Settings and click on the Subscriptions tab.
In "Filter by name, tag, or URL" field, enter the current folder name that you want to rename to filter out that folder. Eg: Folder A.
In "Change folder…" dropdown list, choose New Folder… and enter the new folder name. Eg: Folder B.
Now, click "All # subscriptions" to select all feeds under Folder A and choose Folder B in More actions… dropdown list to add that feeds into Folder B.
Without deselect the selected feeds, choose Folder A from Remove tag under More actions… dropdown list.
Now, your feeds are moved or renamed to Folder B. So far, I only know this way to rename folders or tags in Google Reader. If you found any other easier method, please share it with us.
Everyone share your Google Reader Feed.
Note: In G Reader to share the feed go to the "Your Stuff" tab and click on "Shared Items". Then you will see: Your shared items are available publicly at this web page.

Chinese envoy showcases China's achievements in gender equality
March 16,2019 By:Xinhua
UNITED NATIONS, March 16, 2019 -- A Chinese envoy on Friday showcased China's achievements in gender equality, saying the status of women in China has undergone fundamental changes.
The Chinese government has always attached great importance to gender equality, said Wu Haitao, charge d'affaires of China's permanent mission to the United Nations.
In the past seven decades since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Chinese government has taken steps to ensure that women can, on an equal footing, exercise their democratic rights in accordance with the law, participate in socio-economic development, enjoy dividends of the reform and development, he told a UN session of the Commission on the Status of Women.
"The status of women in China has undergone fundamental changes."
Wu said China has developed a body of law based on the Constitution that consists of more than 100 acts and regulations to safeguard women's rights and interests.
Gender disparity has been essentially eliminated in compulsory education and over 50 percent of college students are female, said Wu.
Support for women's employment and entrepreneurship has been strengthened with huge amounts of cumulative secured loans granted for women entrepreneurship, benefiting millions of women. Gender-based discrimination in the recruitment process is prohibited, he said.
The equality of women's health care continues to improve. The maternal mortality rate has dropped to 19.6 per 100,000, said Wu.
Support for women in poverty has been strengthened, as half of those out of poverty were female, he said.
Social protection has scaled up substantially for women in urban and rural areas, said Wu.
The Belt and Road Initiative has actively contributed to the interconnectivity of countries, expanded space for global economic growth, and created great opportunities for people around the world, he said.
China has actively supported women in countries along the routes of the Belt and Road Initiative in capacity building by providing assistance in various forms. China stands ready to strengthen cooperation with sisters around the world to achieve common development, he said.

You can't cut bus services to a school that has none – Waiting for a bus that never comes, students walk the hard road
Standard - by admin - November 1, 2012 - No Comments

WORD of the Baillieu government's cuts to school bus subsidies didn't cause a stir at Tarneit Senior College, even though it is in one of the suburbs that is set to lose out.
After all, you can't cut bus services to a school that has none.
Tarneit, in Melbourne's west, is in one of 10 postcodes within the city's expanded urban-growth boundary that will no longer qualify for school transport subsidies, under state government cuts to be phased in over the next six years. The government expects to save $21.6 million.
Schools in Tarneit are among more than 110 in outer Melbourne that will lose their conveyance allowance because they have been judged to have good enough public transport to do without it.
Michael Fawcett, Tarneit Senior College's principal, disagrees.
"There are no bus routes out here in this part of Tarneit," Mr Fawcett said. "We've complained to the Transport Minister a number of times about the fact that there's no public transport for our students…"
Public Transport Victoria maintains that the nearest public bus is a good option for students, even though its closest stop is about a kilometre away…
Public Transport Victoria's spokeswoman said the authority would "review the operation of buses in the Wyndham area as part of the network planning for the new Williams Landing station and the new stations on the Regional Rail Link route".
The Regional Rail Link is in the early stages of construction, but is not due to open until 2016. "There is frustration from the school community, definitely, and we've missed out on enrolments because we haven't had a bus driving past," Mr Fawcett said.

The town of Coppabella is a small community which lies approximately 159 kilometres south-west of Mackay. Recognised for its large mining monument at the entrance of the town, Coppabella was designed to service the junction of two railway lines, one from Goonyella Mine and the other from Saraji Mine. The railway line would then continue on to the sea at Hay Point, Sarina. The Goonyella to Hay Point line was opened on the 5 November 1971 and the Coppabella Railway Station was opened on the same day.
The town is wholly owned and operated by Queensland Rail and contains: stations, residences, single-quarters, work depots, hotel, a shop, swimming pool, basketball court, tennis court, football oval, caravan park, school, ambulance, fire brigade and water supply! The town was established in three stages, with the first established in 1971, the second in 1977 and the third in 1984. The population stood at approximately 300 permanent residents and about 30 to 80 that were migratory in 1996 when the town celebrated its 25 year anniversary.
Interestingly, the name Coppabella was given by Queensland Railways at the suggestion of the General Manager, Central Division. It is said to be an Aboriginal word meaning "crossing place".

Ben Coen – "Right up there with the very best in Ireland"
Ben Coen riding 'Create Belief' to victory for trainer Johnny Murtagh in Royal Ascot on Friday, June 18, 2021.
Fethard Community Games wish to congratulate our former competitor, Ben Coen, on his fantastic achievements as a jockey, the most recent highlight was winning the Sandringham Stakes (Handicap) on 'Create Belief' for trainer Johnny Murtagh in Royal Ascot last Friday, June 18, 2021.
Nineteen-year-old Ben, son of Ann and Shay Coen, Killusty, has a long history competing as an athlete in Community Games, taking part in a wide range of events and winning a fair share of medals. He excelled in Athletics, first competing in the county finals of U8 60m in 2009, progressing to U10, U12 and up U14 in 2014. Ben won gold in the county finals of U10 100m in 2011 and represented Tipperary at the National Finals in Athlone where he reached the semi-finals.
Ben always had a love of horses. He rode forty winners on the pony racing circuit and had his first winner on the racecourse while still at school, when landing the Ash Brothers Building Contractors Handicap (Division 2) on 'Timia', for trainer Keith Clarke at Dundalk on November 17, 2017. Ben has since gone from strength to strength with a total of 1369 rides to date and riding big winners on a regular basis.
Ben's cousin, top jockey Andrew Slattery, along with Ben and his friend Gavin Ryan (champion apprentice jockey champion in 2020), used to leave school in Killenaule on a Friday afternoon and later appear on TV riding winners that evening. In January this year, Ben was appointed number one jockey to the expanding training operation of former legendary jockey, Johnny Murtagh, who described the talented teenager as, "the real deal" and "right up there with the very best in Ireland".
Royal Ascot Racecourse located in Ascot, Berkshire, England, is the Olympics of flat racing and to ride there is an honour. Riding a winner is a dream come true! Ben and Gavin had seven rides each in Ascot this year. In addition to 'Create Belief', Ben finished 3rd in the Commonwealth Cup on 'Measure of Magic', 4th in the Duke of Cambridge Stakes on 'Champers Elysees' and 4th on 'Mirann' in Duke of Edinburgh Stakes. Gavin was 3rd in the Ribblesdale Stakes and 4th in The Coventry Stakes. We wish all of these talented young jockeys continued success.

Tipperary Greenway – a huge benefit to Fethard
The Tipperary Greenway Project was first established in 2018, to organise the raising of funds for a feasibility study to examine the potential of creating a Greenway between Clonmel and Thurles via Fethard. The feasibility study will examine the prospect of using, where possible, the former rail line that linked Clonmel to Fethard and Thurles, and also other possible options.
This is a fantastic project to support local rural communities with huge benefits for our health and wellbeing, providing safer walking and cycling, tourism, business opportunities and a link with other greenways and blueways already established or planned. A feasibility study will come up with a choice of acceptable plans offering alternative routes where difficulties exist and is the first step on the ladder that will also provide a cost-benefit analysis on the potential a Greenway will have for our region.
To help fund the Feasibility Study we ask for your support CLICK TO SUPPORT and get further information
On Tuesday, October 23, 2018, the first public information meeting regarding the possibilities of developing a 'Thurles to Clonmel Greenway via Fethard' was held in the Anner Hotel, Thurles. The packed meeting was chaired by Cllr. Jim Ryan, a long-time advocate of greenways, joined by Cllr. Kevin O'Meara (Mullinahone), David Morrissey, Declan McGann, Seamus Weber and Jane Ryan. Apologies were received from Cllr. Imelda Goldsboro and Ciara McCormack who were unable to attend.
Following a very enlightening question and answer session the meeting unfolded many brilliant ideas and viewpoints from those in the room, there is a huge sense of a real shared vision and optimism overall for this project.
One of the main objections to the Greenway came from affected landowners who already have other developments in place where the originally railway track existed. It was then explained that a feasibility study would reveal many alternative routes and that only up to 40 percent of the original track may be needed to complete the greenway. It was also stressed that nothing would happen without the consent of the landowners. It was also explained that when the railway line closed back in the 1960s, Iarnród Éireann surrendered the land back to the landowners and was now in their possession.
Overall it was agreed that the project will only succeed with good will from all involved and the realisation of the huge benefits a greenway could make to a community. Immediate benefits, as seen in the Waterford/Dungarvan Greenway, would see a huge increase in tourism and visitors, a safe place for family walking and cycling, an upsurge in local business, accommodation and a future for rural development.

Disclaimer: the Jerry Harvey Roxanne earphone reviewed in this review is part of a Tokyo Headfi tour. And it's cool.
Thanks to Fujiya Avic's awesome (and sweaty) spring and fall headphone shows, on more than one occasion, I've had the opportunity to shake hands with one of the coolest names in the industry. Last year, I photographed and botched the translation of an interview with Mr. Harvey conducted by the pioneering Japanese audiophile, Sasaki. Jerry's cool, calm demeanour impressed me as much as the snarling tattoos that crawled up and down his arms. The be-inked man isn't just a bigwig earphone pioneer. Where it comes down to the perfecting of sound through endless, marketable tweaking, he's a perfectionist, and an inventor. His character is carbon copied into each of his earphones. And Roxanne is the perfect facsimile of all that is Jerry.
Roxanne comes in two flavours: the custom one rings in around 1500$; and universal one rings in around 1300$ USD. Both models sport 12 drivers, four for bass, four for mids, and four for highs. Bass is adjustable from 0 to +15dB. This review covers the universal version, which was loaned me by Headfi's Currawong. Sadly, it is no longer in the building.
Roxanne's cable is a veritable rope. I am reasonably confident that if properly knotted to a good balcony rail, I could use it to pass my wife to the bushes below. Both the y-split and plug sheaths are thick, supple, and wear extremely well. This cable is less susceptible to fraying than some of JHA's previous cables and cable-derived microphonic noise is minimal. That said, the metal-lined ear guides can kick up quite a ruckus. Honestly, for the glasses wearer, those guides are merciless. Jerry Harvey Audio have packed in a small screw driver for your caprice. You'll need to adjust Roxanne's bass unless you rock Harajuku nails. The good side is that it's pretty tough to accidentally change bass settings. The L-shaped plug is supple, strong, and easy to use in combination with smartphone cases if that's your thing.
A new four-pole female screw drive mates the cable to the earphone's male bits. While a bit unwieldy, it is probably the surest connection currently out there.
The universal Roxanne looks and feels decidedly like a custom earphone. It uses the same UV-cured acrylic shells, the same sound tubes, the same internal wiring. New to JHA and the earphone world is the 4-pole connector and screw drive lock mechanism. While sturdy, because the cable locks directly to the earphone's acrylic shell, the earphones shells may be less resilient to overt pressure than earphones with weaker connection systems. I don't foresee problems stemming from normal usage, but it behoves you to treat Roxanne like a lady.
Shell machining is very good. There are few to no air bubbles, and the drivers are free of fingerprints and oil blotches. Internal wiring is a bit rockstar-ish, but until custom earphone manufacturers universally hire elves to do their dirty work, that won't change.
Roxanne is a sensitive earphone. I'm a sensitive-eared lad. Roxanne easily renders hiss from noisy sources. In fact, it renders noise from some typically low-noise sources like the 6G iPod nano. Thank the Lords of Kobol that the volume of hiss is less than what passes through a Sleek Audio CT7. Roxanne's sensitivity means that it doesn't need much voltage in order to hit high volumes. Pretty much any old player or amp will do. Driving that volume to perfect resolution, however, is another story.
But first, let's talk about how Roxanne sounds. She is a smooth, beautiful singer, whose main vocal thrust is the midrange. There, her lungs spit effortless detail and space. The forward and aft edges of stringed instruments are crisp and resonant. Ditto percussion, especially tom-tom drums and snares. Mids project with firm authority. Roxanne's finest foot steps forward when rendering the clear voices of metallic chimes, or the touch of a brush on the edge of a drum, or the soft slap of a hand on a guitar. The most jaw-dropping part thing is that while Roxanne piles detail everywhere possible, there's not an abrasive note anywhere to be found.
Frequency transitions are utterly smooth. Clean attack is followed by a musical, but speedy decay. Headroom in all frequencies is off the charts. Whether handing off upper bass lines to the lower mid quarter, or delineating the thumb from the string it plucks, Roxanne's delivers absolutely clear transitions. Yet she does so with tender love.
Super low frequencies aren't over amped. They are big, with duff where necessary, and crescendo cleanly when not. Bass detail is second only to midrange detail. Get ready for thrum and strum and a bit of slam.
Just this side of tizzy cymbals, Roxanne rolls gently off- but not to the extent that she sounds dull or veiled. Taking the place of tizz is clean, detailed high-frequency reverb. Despite the gentle roll off, high frequency details are articulate. Roxanne flushes forward the floor plan of the recording room. But because there is no added edge, poorly constructed recording studios and the records they put out don't necessarily sound worse than they did before. They do, however, sound sloppy. Their overly wet high-frequency reverb wells rise up with slip and slap. Again, the effect is inflexion, not infliction. Roxanne doesn't throw the details back in your face.
But let's get back to the mids.
Even the benchmark-setting JH13Pro isn't quite able to serve the same dynamics and detail, and midrange space. While it isn't an endless chasm of space that Roxanne sets up around your skull, it is a precisely set space. Bass notes fall to the jowls and behind the os occipital bone. Mids project from the centre of your grey matter, through your eye holes, and around, to the temples. Highs shimmer around the sides, filling in at their discretion. Vertical ascent and descent of each frequency is limited to a space about the size of a beach ball around your pate. The precision of the spread is tip top. The breadth of the spread is wide, but not quite Dita The Answer wide.
Several times whilst demoing the Roxanne, I forgot to breathe. True story.
But if you've had enough of all that, Roxanne gives you the option of amping up her bass (and the above observations are rendered in different levels of moot). I feel most comfortable with the dial set to around 50% or less, where bass details and transitions remain superb. There is the merest hint of bloom around 150Hz. Bass-head audiophiles should be happy with the dial set to 70% or below, and bass-is-allers probably can't tell the difference anyway. Go ahead, set it to 100%. Someone has to. 100% absolutely masks Roxanne's trademark low to mid frequency transitions. It shifts focus away from the lovely, spacious highs. 150Hz goes wonky. Not that that isn't useful at times. I'll admit to digging the duff that only 100% gives when listening Dr. Dre's The Watcher. (Can you blame me?) But when I return to John Denver, The Smiths, Armin Van Buuren, Depeche Mode, U2, New Order, Joy Division, Sandy Patti, The Doobie Brothers, Testament, Shirley Temple, and of course, The Police, I return also to my favourite 50% setting.
As long as you skirt 100%, Roxanne delivers the best inflexion this side of Halifax.
If only Dita Audio were in charge of Roxanne's over-the-ear ergonomics. While the cable is strong, is relatively resistant to touch noise, and is comfortable, the ear-guide is a bloody pain. Literally. If you wear specs, it will pinch below one glasses arm or another. If you have long eyelashes and wear glasses (poor sod) prepare yourself for Roxanne wrenching your glasses this way and that until your lashes smudge up your Pierre Cardins. Through all that eyelash grease, you will swear you're wearing blinders. If you don't wear glasses, the above simply doesn't apply. But, the universal version of Roxanne is massive; it can't comfortably be fit into small ears. My conchas are medium-sized bowls. But I can't properly get Roxanne in. And long as they are, the sound tubes may not reach your canals without a bit of yoga. My wife can't get Roxanne anywhere near her ear holes without pain. I strongly recommend testing the universal version of Roxanne before purchasing, no matter how 'you' this review or that review describes. That, or pony up for the custom version.
As explained earlier, getting volume from Roxanne isn't a problem. Roxanne requires setting your amp or player to roughly Dita The Answer levels in order to really sing. But where Dita serves up its best straight from your portable player, Roxanne is more demanding. Your player must be able to drop damn near 0 Ω to allow Roxanne to give 'er. Even so, it probably won't be able to support a super-stable dynamic range or stereo image. My fullest recommendation is behind a couple of amps, or something like an iBasso DX50. The first is the Cypher Labs DUET. The second is the Vorzüge PURE II.
Roxanne is one of the best-sounding IEMs out there. It may well be the smoothest, most midrange-resolving earphone on the planet right now. Yes, it trades grating edges for space, and it smooths over some of the chaos of live performances. But what it gives up in chaos it returns in transitional detail, sharp 3D spaces, and microscopic midrange detail. And none of its goods ever trip up the bass or treble. But if you've had enough of all of that charm and appeal, you can still turn up the bass dial for boom and punch. There are few earphones that are as capable of wowing on so many levels as Roxanne. Sadly, Roxanne wow's glasses wearers with poorer than usual ergonomics. But to the earphone faithful, that's nothing new. From team Headfonia, it's ohmage to Roxanne till the red lights go out.
I think Sting was wrong.
Hmmm… so are you saying I stop my soap land business?
Super pictures again Nathan. well done!
I hope it ain't wax.
These were taken before I ever put them in my ears. If it's wax, it's from Hokkaido.
Thanks mate. Macro photography always reveals things your eye cannot see. It looks like they may be cracks.
One advantage of the universals is that you can use various types of tips to modify the sound and distance from your ear canal (by a few millimeters) to get the perfect sound that you're in the mood for at that time. Sometimes I want them deep inside, like a custom, and sometimes I want the extra imaging that comes from moving them back a bit and turning up the volume to compensate.
When people see these monsters protruding from my ears I get tons of questions about what they are, followed by questions about where to buy one.
Hello roxanneuniversal: I think the misconception pretty much stands. I tried and it is VERY difficult to get any but large-bore tips onto the Roxanne universals. You wen though a lot of work. It can be done, though.
Actually it takes like 5 seconds. You need to apply some force, while at the same time being careful, but it's very easy. The bore in the comply tips is apparently designed to expand (but don't force it too hard or it can tear I assume).
But after some testing, I go mainly with the wide bore comply T-500 tips as my go to tips, which provide more enough isolation. The P series only provide a tiny bit more isolation.
The main advantage of the P series tips is that they move the headphone further away from your ear, creating interesting spatials that you can't get with the headphone pushed all the way in.
You can significantly change the sound of the Roxannes by trying various tips, short T-500 comply, long P series comply, Westone star, Westone star with foam in the back . . . I'm actually looking for other tips to try as well.
Sure. P.S. The P Series also create a major bass boost, due to the fact that the sound has to travel a slightly longer distance, and the fact that bass moves through space better than treble (which you can confirm by pulling up next to a car and hearing only bass when inside the car he's hearing bass and treble). With IEMs, increasing the distance by just 5mm can noticeably impact the sound.
P series tips + bass all the way up is beyond beats level head crushing bass.
I'm quite sure there are a number of folks who would love to be crushed. I find the bass levels attained stock sufficient, but again, I'm not part of the Beats generation.
Yeah I generally keep the bass dial at about 25%.
P.S. Now I like wearing the comply tips again lol. That extra 5 mm or so of distance removes some of the harshness of the headphones (not that they're harsh, but this way they're less so) and gives it that nice bass slam. But I turn the bass to zero with this method.
Now I'm using comply slim P series tips, cut to shorten them (I cut about 4 mm off the top) and inserted deep into my ear (possible with the slim, not with the big).
This is the best sound I've heard yet. Amazingly tight, controlled yet powerful bass. The bass with this setup is like my TOTL flagship headphones. Good treble too. Outstanding sound stage.
I think this is the setup I'm sticking with.
What's amazing is how different the P series slim sound this way vs. if you don't cut their tops off. Really it's amazing how different each tip setup sounds.
Props on the Battlestar Galactica reference.
Mate, you better believe it.
Hi, Nathan. I'm late to the show here, but I'm a big fan of your reviews. I'm struggling with finding the match-made-in-heaven DAP/Universal IEM union. I have the HM901s and AK240. I currently use the se846 for hard rock and metal, which I love. But I'm trapped in the eternal quest to KNOW without doubt on the day I die (hopefully not for another 40 years or so) I exhausted every effort soak my soul in the greatest sound quality in the universe. Learning more about sound signatures and subtleties that affect what pumps from the IEM's to my brain, I'm interested in broadening my horizons. How does the Roxanne compare to the se846 in terms of SQ for Genres like rock and metal, where bass and intensity are important, but not absolutely bass dependent like hip hop? Forgive the rambling preamble.
Daniel: I'm late. I'm always late. I need a proper inbox. Sincere apologies.
Both earphones were on loan, so I can't whip them out now and tell you which I actually prefer and why. I can say this: the Roxanne is all about the expansive mids. I didn't find pairing it with fast genres that good, but it sure sounded good with slower, vocal and small ensemble stuff.
Otherwise, the SE846 really is a great option for the genres you mention. That said, the SE846 has the problem of hissing like crazy and being super duper sensitive. The Roxanne isn't as much. But the Roxanne barely fits in a bear's ears.
Thank you for your thoughtful response!!! Just curious, I value your opinion highly. What is your person favorite IEM and full size pair of cans?
Daniel: I'll try not to be so late. I'll fail.
I'm not sure what you'll think of my favourites.
The two are very different, but I like each immensely. The IQ has a few missteps, but is my constant companion when I head into the city. The GR10 pushes all the right buttons for me re: sound. Fit is good, but isolation is just so-so.
The same love. I know the DT880 is bettered by a number of headphones. It's been a favourite of mine since 2005 or so. I can't bring myself to supplant it despite actually preferring the T1 by a small margin. I also love the HD600 for its dry, thick but speedy sound. Like a DT880 with no faults. The PM-2 is so comfy and smooth and beautifully engineered. There are headphones out there that sound better I know, but none of them are as comfy, light, well-designed, and good sounding. This one pushes all my buttons in all the right ways.
So: I'm not a hi-end lover unless you consider earphones like the GR10 to perform against the hi-end. Cheap as they are (by way of comparison), I do.
Again, thank you so much for your thoughtful response!! I consider you THE authority on all things audio, and so value your opinion very much. Thank you for sharing!! I'm still exploring new sounds and gear, and appreciate you taking the time to respond to me VERY much!!
I'm just an amateur with a love for what objectiveness I understand. That, and trance. If you really want to know authority, I suggest Tyll Hertsens. If you want clear language and great presentation, Lachlan. If you want meticulous comparison, Jokerl.
There are loads of great reviewers out there. But I will do what I can and at a pace I am capable. If you have questions or comments, by all means, shoot away. But take no one's words as absolute truth and always trust your own preferences.
Well, you haven't steered my wrong yet! I always read your reviews before I make a purchase. Thank you for the other recommendations! Btw, I just ordered the Gr10's. Always in the market for a new "flavor." Thanks again!
Hissing? OK, I only use them with a Macbook Pro, iPhone and iPad, but nary a hiss have I ever detected.
Great review and superb pics! Any chance of reviewing the Layla and Angie anytime soon?
I'm afraid they're not on the list. maybe on Nathan's.
Any olans to do a Ether, Roxanne, K10, 335 review/shootout?
I can't imagine sourcing all of that will be easy.
I really appreciate your reviews. I'm seriously considering the custom fit Layla IEM's. What would you suggest for a portable DAC and amplifier? I would appreciate any help you can give.
I am sorry to be so late: Hands-down I recommend Vorzüge PURE II.
Is Roxxane still a good buys in 2017? Or Noble Katana? Thanks.

Q: Giving Exceptions to a Random Choice Now I have been trying for fun to make my own version of the game clue, and I cannot seem to find out how do this. I am trying to make it so that if the guess is wrong, it will give a hint from the other guesses that is not the real "killer" and that is not any of their previous guesses. I'll give an example of something similar:
    a = input()
    b = input()
    c = input()
    d = input()
    e = input()
    f = input()
    hint = random.choice([a,b,c,d,e,f])
    hint != killer
    hint != previous_guess

Now I know that the hint != killer and hint != previous_guess doesn't really do anything, as hint is assigned before. I am wondering if there is any way to make it so that it will chose randomly from a variable that is not the killer or a previous guess. Thanks in advance! Oh also I would like to point out that I am using python.

A: You can use a set and subtract the ones you dont want, e.g.
hint = random.choice(list({a, b, c, d, e, f} - {killer, previous_guess}))

A: Here is a basic way you could do it. This uses the concept of what is called a list comprehension in order to generate a list in an efficient way. The .format() indicates string formatting, which allows you to pass variables into strings in a variety of formats (docs here, but for now just know that {0} refers to the first argument to format()).
names is generated using the aforementioned list comprehension, and it is syntactically equivalent to:
names = []
for i in range(6):
    names.append(raw_input('Enter a name: ')

This pattern is used later to generate your list without the killer nor the previous guess. Happy to explain any parts that don't make sense (thanks to @JonClements for pointing out some oddness I had left in there):
import random

# Choose your names
names = [raw_input('Enter killer name: ') for i in xrange(6)]

# Choose a killer
killer = random.choice(names)

# Run for as many times as you want (here we do 6; could also be len(names)
max_guesses = 6

for guessno in xrange(max_guesses):
  guess = raw_input('Guess the killer: ')
  # If the guess is not the killer...
  if guess != killer:
    # This line creates a list that does not include the killer nor the guess
    hint = random.choice([n for n in names if n not in [killer, guess]])
    print 'Hint, the killer is not {0}'.format(hint)
  else:
    print 'Correct! The killer is {0}'.format(guess)
    break

Goojje (, ) was a spoof website of Google China, which encouraged the real site to stay online and comply with Internet censorship in the People's Republic of China. The site was created after Google executives publicly threatened to shut down the Chinese site following the Operation Aurora cyber attack on Google China, which some computer security experts believe may have come from within China as in the GhostNet cyber spying operation. Google China executives had also publicly condemned the necessity of filtering search results in line with the Golden Shield Project (also known as the Great Firewall of China), which some commentators have stated appears to run counter to Google's mantra, Don't be evil.

Goojje, founded on January 14, 2010 also allows searches to be run, but apparently uses Google and Baidu to do the actual searches.  Google has demanded that Goojje stop using its logo, but Goojje refused until 2011.

Origin

Google in Chinese is  (pinyin: ), a transcription without regard to its meaning of "valley song". The Chinese name of Goojje can be interpreted as having meaning of "the sister of Google". The jje phoneme is from the word for sister, "jie jie (姐姐)", which mirrors how Google's last syllable (歌) sounds like "ge ge (哥哥)" (brother).

It is said that Goojje is created by a female who is infatuated with Google. Due to Google's withdrawal from China, she decided to build Goojje in memory of it. The website's propaganda is "Goojje it, loneliness all eliminated"

Staff
All staff members of Goojje were born in the generation after the 1980s. Goojje appears to be run by just one person, Huang Jiongxuan, a female college student from Guangdong.  Huang stated in February 2010 that the website had yet to turn a profit, however as of February 2016 it is estimated it now has a net worth of 1530.85CYN (US$235).

The IAG Stage 2 Tuff short block starts with new Subaru 2.5L EJ25 engine case halves that are bored and honed to 99.75 on our in-house Sunnen SV-30 the most advanced automotive cylinder hone available. IAG's in-house honing process is able to set piston to wall clearances tighter for a quieter running engine. The short block is measured and assembled using a new 2017 Subaru 2.5L nitride treated STI crankshaft that is matched to ACL or King race main bearings. Next IAG-Spec Tuff H-Beam rods with ARP Rod Bolts are utilized to increase the power rating slightly at the expense of being slightly heavier. The connecting rods are matched to ACL or King race rod bearings. The case halves are sealed with new OEM main case bolts and sealant. Finally IAG-Spec JE 99.75mm Forged Pistons are added to finish off the short block.

From day one that is just the way that I write things. Having the studio here gave Donn and I the luxury and freedom to do all kinds of things.
They thought we were nuts to pull up my Lamborghini to the studio and mic it. We drove it around the city, and I revved the engine up to 80, rpm just to get the right sound.
One time a septic tank needed to be removed.
Eddie Van Halen Revisits Van Halen's Landmark '' Album | Guitarworld
Donn lowered a mic into it, and we threw an Electrolux vacuum in there. I basically lived in the studio back then. If Valerie ever needed to find me, she just had to look in the studio, because I was always there. It was a bummer when we stopped working together.
Donn just totally left the music business. I went to his house once and asked him to reconsider. I love fast shuffles. I distinctly remember sitting in front of Al on a wooden stool and playing that part during my solo where it climbs. You can only pull that off with Simmons drums because they sound so unique. Al would hit them with sticks that were like baseball bats.
Al hit the hi-hat instead of the cymbal. The only way we could record in that room was to have Al play just the drums and then later overdub the cymbals. He just forgot to hit the cymbal.
Ted hated that song. How did it finally make the cut six albums later? The intro and verses are different, I guess because nobody really liked it the way that it originally was. You also mixed the album at Was that a challenge? The funniest story about the whole record was near the end, when Donn and I were mixing it. Ted seemed to think that we were already done, and we had a deadline to meet. Donn and I would be in there mixing and the phone would ring.
It would be Ted at the front gate to my house, wanting to come in. My whole driveway is like a big circle. So Donn would grab the master tapes, put them in his car, go out the back gate, and wait as Ted was coming through the front gate because Ted wanted the tapes.
This went on for about two weeks. Little did he know that Donn was sitting outside the back gate, waiting for him to leave. We had walkie-talkies and I would tell Donn when Ted was leaving. Then Donn would drive down the hill and come back in through the front gate, and Ted never saw him as he was going out behind him.
It was a circus! Nobody was happy with Donn and me. They thought we were crazy and out of our minds. Ted thought that Donn had lost it and was going to threaten to burn the tapes.
That was all BS. We just wanted an extra week to make sure that we were happy with everything.
That was my whole premise for building the studio. I wanted to make a complete record from end to end, not just one hit. We had the Number One single, but he had the Number One album. Of course everyone blamed me. I do know that when I played on his record, it helped expose Van Halen to a different audience. We were projected to go to Number One the week when Michael Jackson was filming that Pepsi commercial and burned his hair [on January 27, ].
I knew that was going to happen. We sold close torecords, which would have made the album number one almost any other week of the year. We sold twice as many records as other records that year that landed in the Number One position. Neither one of those records ever went to Number One. Our live show for the tour just could not get any bigger, but it was so over the top that we never made any money from it.
We had 18 trucks hauling the stage and equipment. That was unheard of. The standard lighting rig had to lights, and we had over 2, We could never have topped that. We filled the entire place with equipment and lights. Was the Frankenstein still your main guitar in the studio on that album? I had actually retired the Frankenstein by then. We had already finished recording the song, and then I came up with that part, which I thought would sound great at the end of the song.
That ride out solo was very much inspired by Allan Holdsworth. They labeled him an unqualified marksman and often caught him napping while on duty and failing to report for bed checks. Spears, filed a report in which he stated: It is my opinion that Private Hendrix will never come up to the standards required of a soldier.
I feel that the military service will benefit if he is discharged as soon as possible.

He moved into the Hotel Theresa in Harlemwhere he befriended Lithofayne Pridgon, known as "Faye", who became his girlfriend.

The single failed to chart, but Hendrix and Lee began a friendship that lasted several years; Hendrix later became an ardent supporter of Lee's band, Love. The video recording of the show marks the earliest known footage of Hendrix performing.
They failed to see Hendrix's musical potential, and rejected him. Mitchell, who had recently been fired from Georgie Fame and the Blue Flamesparticipated in a rehearsal with Redding and Hendrix where they found common ground in their shared interest in rhythm and blues. When Chandler phoned Mitchell later that day to offer him the position, he readily accepted. I said, 'Of course', but I had a funny feeling about him. I mean he did a few of his tricks, like playing with his teeth and behind his back, but it wasn't in an upstaging sense at all, and that was it He walked off, and my life was never the same again".
If it must have a tag, I'd like it to be called, 'Free Feeling'. Continuing this natural feel, the floorboards of Sao Feng's bathhouse had to be cut by hand, and real humidity was created by the combination of gallons of water and the lighting equipment on the set.

By Scott Gilfoid: Deontay Wilder has once again reiterated that if Dillian 'The Body Snatcher' Whyte faces Luis 'King Kong' Ortiz and beats him, then he'll keep his word and give him a world title shot for his WBC heavyweight title.
Whyte and Ortiz have been trading challenges in the last two weeks saying that they want to face each other on December 22 in London, England. However, it appears that Whyte, 30, isn't as serious about the fight as Ortiz is. Whyte and his promoter Eddie Hearn are trying to put together a fight against former world title challenger Dereck Chisora (29-8, 21 KOs) for December 22. That's the fight that Whyte appear to actually want. Ortiz appears to be a name that Whyte keeps throwing around, possibly to get Chisora to come in at a lower price in the negotiations.
I hate to say it but I don't see Whyte ever facing the likes of Ortiz. The only way I see Whyte facing Ortiz is if he's dragged into the ring kicking and screaming by Eddie Hearn. Ortiz is too intimidating for the likes of Whyte, and it would end badly for Dillian in my view. One bad 1st round knockout loss for Whyte and he can kiss goodbye forever his rematches with Anthony Joshua. Hearn couldn't recycle the Joshua-Whyte match-up ever again after that and try and sell it to the British boxing public as fresh goods. The fans would rebel and turn up their noses to a stale fight like Joshua vs. Whyte. Hearn should be giving the fans fresh blood by matching Joshua against guys he's never fought before instead of trotting out Whyte again after he's already been knocked out by him in 2015. It would be understandable for Hearn to put together a retread fight between Joshua and Whyte if the fight was competitive, but it wasn't. Whyte was a punching bag for Joshua from round three until the seventh, which is when it ended when Dillian hit the deck.
After all this time, Whyte's actions speak volumes. He hasn't shown that he wants a fight against Ortiz OR Wilder. I see Whyte only wanting to fight easy marks, and guys that he can make money fighting in England like Chisora. I'm not sure what Whyte will do when Chisora hangs up his gloves, but that probably won't happen for another six to ten years. Chisora reminds me of Matt Skelton with the way that he's just going to hang around well past his prime. That's good for Whyte, because he can keep fighting him and his boxing fans in the UK will keep buying the fight instead of ignoring him until he faces some talents like Wilder and Ortiz.
Whyte could get the fight with Wilder at any time. He just needs to follow the WBC and Deontay's instruction to take on Ortiz and beat him first. If Whyte showed an inclination to earn the Wilder fight instead of acting as if he has a sense of entitlement like he's royalty. That's not how it works in the sport. You've got to work your way to world title shots by beating the best, not the worst. Whyte has a good thing going for him though with him signed on with Matchroom Sport, the same promoters that promote Anthony Joshua. Whyte's promoter Eddie Hearn isn't bothering to match him against dangerous guys like Ortiz, because his goal is to feed him to Joshua again in 2019 and sell that to the fans on Sky Box Office PPV, even though it's a retread fight with a predictable outcome.
Wilder (40-0, 39 KOs) has been giving Whyte (24-1, 17 KOs) the key to a fight against him by telling him repeatedly to go ahead and face the 6'3" former Cuban amateur star Ortiz (29-1, 25 KOs) and he'll fight him. Whyte has stubborn and resistant to following Wilder's instructions, however.
Whyte wanted Wilder to just give him a world title fight in a silver platter or have the World Boxing Council make him the mandatory challenger. But when the WBC told Whyte that he needed to fight Ortiz, he went in different direction and fought Lucas Browne and Joseph Parker. As you would guess, Whyte has failed to earn the WBC mandatory status and he's wasted two years of his career fighting the wrong guys for him to get a title shot against Wilder.
"Whenever you get two guys who don't particularly like each other and [they] don't want to give an inch in their negotiations," Whyte's promoter Eddie Hearn said to skysports.com. "There's a lot of money to be made for each other in this fight, it's a huge event but no-one really wants to give," Hearn said about the Whyte vs. Chisora negotiations.
The only guy that Hearn is talking about for Whyte is Chisora, not Ortiz. He's not mentioning Ortiz's name at all, and that tells you something. It doesn't matter how often Wilder says that he'll give Whyte a world title shot if he faces the 39-year-old Ortiz and beats him. Whyte simply doesn't fancy the fight with the Cuban talent. Whyte wants two guys right now and that's Chisora on December 22, and then Anthony Joshua on April 13. Whyte is fortunate enough to have both of those heavyweights in Hearn's Matchroom Sport stable, which makes things a lot easier.
Even if Whyte faces both Joshua and Chisora, he's still not going to be chomping at the bit to face a knockout artist like Ortiz, because he's someone that could take him out in a mean fashion. The likely scenario is Whyte will face Chisora on December 22 and beat him by another controversial decision. After that fight, Whyte will face Joshua next year on April 13, and get knocked out again by him. Whyte will then go on the journeyman circuit by facing scrubs to get boxing fans believing in him again. He'll then start pushing Hearn for a third fight with Joshua and Chisora. In other words, it all starts again after Whyte faces Chisora and Joshua. There won't be any fights against Ortiz and definitely not Wilder, who is simply too dangerous for him.


Since the first discovery of the virus in Israel in 2014, cases have been reported in Columbia, Ecuador, Egypt and Thailand. Now that screening tools are available and can be accessed by fish disease diagnostic/research labs, the number of reported TiLV cases is expected to rise.
The emergence of TiLV is the first-ever major disease epidemic reported in tilapia aquaculture, and puts the global industry at risk. Irresponsible trade in live aquatic animals and intensification without biosecurity considerations significantly compound this risk.


Israel's focus on national security has helped it build a vibrant cluster of cybersecurity businesses. Can other nations copy it?
Many of the new companies in Israel are founded by individuals who have come out of Unit 8200 – Israel's equivalent of Britain's GCHQ or America's NSA – a "signals intelligence" agency which has moved heavily into cyber-operations.
So how does 8200 feed into the private sector? One man who knows is Nadav Zafrir. He joined 8200 in 2005 and ran the organisation between 2009 and 2013. He is now co-founder and chief executive of Team 8, a company-building platform based around cybersecurity which aims to found and establish five companies in five years.
Innovation and tech had a strong role in Israel even in the pre-cyber age but Mr Zafrir argues the key to recent success has been identifying talent young.
Israel has mandatory national service which means that 8200 has access to people when they are still at school. It starts trying to spot potential among 18-year-olds who could join its ranks. The key attribute they are looking for is not necessarily an existing skill-set but the ability to learn quickly.
The speed of evolution in technology means being able to predict who can learn fast is vital when recruiting people.
"Sometimes when you are screening them, you don't even know what kind of technology or problems they are going to be dealing with by the time they actually sit there and have the responsibility upon their shoulders," Mr Zafrir explained in an interview in London.

DBS Chapter 72 Review: Goku's Defeat
Anand Garsine
With the 20th of this month getting over, here's our DBS chapter 72 review. There was so much of theorizing and brainstorming on what could happen in the first leg of the fight. I've seen so many videos and posts speculating on who would emerge victorious in the battle between the Saiyans and Granolah. Out of all of them, none (including me) expected this sort of a start.
DBS Chapter 72 completely took us by surprise by showcasing Granolah's unbelievable power. A day before the chapter dropped, Twitter Accounts DBSChronicles and Ryokutya released a spoiler saying:
"Who loses TWICE in ONE chapter? (lol)
He's got the skills of Kenshiro (the protagonist of the Fist of the North Star)."
Most of us were under the impression that the "loser" could be either Vegeta or Granolah. In fact, many folks on Twitter already started shitting on Vegeta. I was like; here we go again with Toriyama/Toyotarō writing with a Goku fanboy mindset. But boy, could we BE more wrong?
Granolah's power took everyone by surprise in DBS Chapter 72
Does Granolah have Ultra Instinct And Destruction In DBS Chapter 72?
Granolah's sniping abilities knocked out Goku twice!
DBS Chapter 72 confirms whether Can Goku use Ultra Instinct With Super Saiyan forms?
Final Thoughts On DBS chapter 72
Predictions for Chapter 73
The fated battle began by Granolah making the first move against the Saiyans. The Cerealian is not keen on wasting time as he is going for the kill right from the start. He's using his sniping abilities to its maximum extent, catching Goku and Vegeta off guard by shooting blasts at them from different directions. Goku acknowledges this by saying that he can barely dodge the blasts and are deadly accurate.
When Granolah started hurdling blasts at them again, Vegeta and Goku charge towards its source. Vegeta uses his mind to dodge the blasts by predicting where it'll be next. Contrary to this, Goku uses base Ultra Instinct to dodge them. The following panel clearly shows which method is superior:
Vegeta struggles to maneuver around the blasts whereas Goku seamlessly dodges them
But, when the duo reaches the source of the attacks, there's nobody there. Then, all of a sudden, the shots started coming from above in the sky. They moved to the air to avoid them. But again, to their surprise, the shots stopped coming from the sky and started coming from the ground. This puzzled me for a while. After a couple of brainstorming sessions, the answer may be something about what I've been thinking ever since Granolah got his wish granted.
It's more than likely that Granolah possesses techniques SIMILAR to Goku's and Vegeta's. But I have my doubts on whether his command over them could be greater than theirs.
In another article, I speculated whether Granolah can use Hakai or Ultra Instinct post the wish. I mentioned that, in order to surpass Goku and Vegeta, Granolah needs to use their techniques in a better way. And those techniques need not necessarily be ONLY Hakai and Ultra Instinct.
Granolah seems to be moving so fast that our heroes struggle to keep up with him. When Goku fired a Ki blast towards his direction, he instantaneously moved from the forest to where the Saiyans were standing.
Granolah's version of Instant Transmission
Now, some people may be under the impression that Granolah used UI in this battle so far. The answer is NO. By looking at his movements, Goku sensed that this technique Granolah used is even faster than his Instant Transmission. So he makes a direct comparison with his teleportation technique and not Ultra Instinct. This is how he was maneuvering between the sky and the ground instantaneously.
After this, he moves his arm towards them and squeezes his hand, which resulted in a huge explosion. Fortunately, Goku and Vegeta managed to escape in the nick of time.
This is very similar to Granolah destroying that huge rock right after the wish in chapter 70. Since that chapter, fans immediately concluded that he has Hakai. Vegeta now mentions that his technique is SIMILAR to Hakai. What's more, Goku begins to wonder whether the Cerealian can use his and Vegeta's techniques. Well, at least I got one theory right. Huehuehue.
He may have even other techniques like Forced Spirit Fission or telekinesis. So the fusion technique might not work here.
As for Ultra Instinct, I think he might have some elements of Ultra Instinct but not completely. His anger and style of charging up his Ki cannot sync with the fundamental principle of Ultra Instinct. His speed might be lower than MUI Goku's.
However, he has other abilities which could cover up for that.
The DBS chapter 72 focuses more on Cerealians sharp sense of sight. Their right eyes are capable of seeing things at a far distance. And amongst the Cerealians, Granolah's right eye is a cut above the rest according to Oatmeel. His right eye helps him to closely observe the target's blood flow and muscle movements. This enables him to pinpoint the target's vital points and strike them.
This could be the reason how he managed to defeat the OG Androids in Goichi's ship so easily. He identified their weak spots (the centre forehead crystal) and struck them with utmost precision.
Adding to this, his sniping abilities also enable him to suppress his Ki more effectively than the others. In fact, Goku and Vegeta weren't able to pinpoint his location at all, even though he was very close to them.
Using all of the above-mentioned abilities and speed, Granolah was able to catch Goku off guard and knock him out two times already! I couldn't believe what I was reading when these scenes popped up!
Goku knocked on his feet twice
Hitting on the vitals like this is similar to what Beerus pulled off in the Battle of Gods movie.
Granolah also said that his right eye can sense the hidden power Goku is concealing within. He was also able to notice Goku's body moving on its own before his brain processes the incoming attacks. His keen observation skills are off the charts! I wonder how MUI Goku will face this new challenge…
Speaking of Ultra Instinct, Goku pulled off something which fans have been speculating for a long time.
Ever since Ultra Instinct's debut in the Tournament of Power, fans have been wondering whether Goku can use Ultra Instinct in his Super Saiyan forms. DBS 72 confirms this possibility as Goku applied the principles of Ultra Instinct with his Super Saiyan God form. Vegeta says it becomes more accurate when combined with A Super Saiyan form.
Super Saiyan God Goku using Ultra Instinct
Now how can he do this? Super Saiyan transformations are powered up by rage. Ultra Instinct is the complete opposite. How can the two be used at the same time? Well, Super Saiyan God is different from other forms. It's calmer and more composed & doesn't need much effort to transform. Also, Goku has learned to use UI even in his base form. He's merely applying the principles of Ultra Instinct (i.e., reduce thought generation).
As Whis explained in the previous chapter, it's not a transformation but more of a state of one's state of mind and consciousness. If one is able to remain in this state at all times, it doesn't matter what form he is in. It all depends on how much one has perfected UI.
We see Goku using it with Super Saiyan God. But can he use it in conjunction with Super Saiyan Blue or Super Saiyan 1, 2 or 3? He can but to a lesser extent. Those forms are fueled by pure rage and reducing thought generation in those forms is very difficult.
But note that Goku's Mastered Ultra Instinct (the silver-haired form) is much stronger than the above-mentioned forms. This is confirmed by Goku saying "I've still got an even stronger transformation" after whatever he pulled off so far.
It's safe to say that DBS Chapter 72 is one of the best chapters in Dragon Ball Super so far. It was placed at the right time and position. Chapter 71 gave a huge build-up to this fight and Chapter 72 lived up to that. Nobody expected this kind of a start.
I did think that if Granolah turned out to be stronger than Goku or Vegeta, it wouldn't make much sense. But given how this chapter progressed, knocking out Goku twice at a stretch does make sense. His sniping abilities really are a game-changer.
Vegeta is pretty smart here. He was able to quickly connect the dots and figure out what's going on. The chapter ended with a cliffhanger with Vegeta saying "I think I know who he is". I guess his father, King Vegeta, might have told him about the Cerealians and their right eyes. Or he might have heard it from someone who was on the battlefield of Planet Cereal 50 years ago. He knows a lot of lore about the Saiyans and their battles.
I'm expecting an extension of Granolah's backstory given how DBS Chapter 72 ended. We might get more information about the Cerealians' history with the Saiyans. Hopefully, the Bardock discussion might happen soon.
As Goku Vs Granolah rages on, Goku is yet to use his Mastered Ultra Instinct so we can expect that in the upcoming chapter. When this happens, Granolah will find it hard to attack him in his vital points. In Chapter 65, Moro tried to strike him in his chest but instead, his hand broke.
Whis mentioned that at his level of Ultra Instinct, Goku's body automatically grows sturdier and harder. Will Granolah receive the same damage as Moro when he attempts to do the same?
Goku has already figured out that Granolah isn't a bad guy. So he and Vegeta might start to sympathize with Granolah. Meanwhile, Elec and Gas would land on Planet Cereal and may start looking for the Dragon Balls.
In the future, the focus of the battle might shift towards the Heeters. Also, we can expect Frieza to appear as well. Did he train anytime between the events of DBS Broly and now?
What do you think of DBS Chapter 72? Did it live up to your expectations? Let us know in the comments below!

Originally a New Yorker, Katherine Selby moved to Vermont 31 years ago and hasn't looked back. A professional horse trainer and instructor all of her working life, Selby serves as kennel huntsman for the Green Mountain Hounds (VT), a drag pack with kennels at her farm in New Haven, VT and territory throughout the Champlain Valley.
The Green Mountain territory consists of fixtures from Colchester to Shoreham and contains open farmland, some woods and coverts, and gentle hills. Although the season can be short, running from August to the end of November (plus a short spring season in June), Selby makes the most of every opportunity in hunting the eight couple Crossbreds and three American hounds that make up the Green Mountain pack, as they attend and host several joint meets, have two clinics, one or two hunter paces or rides, and other events in the year.
In addition to her duties as kennel huntsman, Selby puts her myriad equine skills to work as coach of the Middlebury College Equestrian Team and is equestrian director/partner of two equine dance companies that create performances for dressage riders and modern dancers together.
Kate: I attended an "Introduction to Hunting" clinic offered by GMH with a few clients, and we all became members. By the end of my first season, I was learning how to whip-in. Shortly after the kennels moved here, our MFH and huntsman broke her ankle galloping too close to a tree in the woods during August cubbing, and I began hunting hounds and have done so ever since.
Kate: Whatever it was I was missing, I'd figure it out and go anyway. But if had to pick, I'd choose my horse Grace, my leatherman, and my horn.
eCovertside: What characteristics of your pack and the hunt itself do you most appreciate?
Kate: My pack was very forgiving as I learned the ropes. It is a very different view from the middle than from the edges! I've watched them improve and become steadier, keener, and develop better cry. And they have come to appreciate that I will show them a good time, and keep them safe and cared for.
Ours is very friendly and welcoming hunt. We encourage newcomers, and help them get acquainted with the sport, all the myriad details and customs, and also show them how much fun it is! My staff is so great—I couldn't do my job half as well without their support and faith in me and the hounds.
Kate: They are a happy pack, very keen and getting more and more biddable; and their music is incredible!! We have all the players—a good strike hound or two, a couple of great anchors, a solid middle, and even a few slower hounds who are dead honest on the line, so show me where the others maybe missed a bit and just got lucky, or can even correct them if they overrun.
Kate: Our rolling farm fields with big and small patches of woods makes for excellent viewing for the fields, and allows their voices to be heard at a great distance.
eCovertside: What are you goals for the pack and the organization?
Kate: I would like increase our membership, and to that end work very hard on educational outreach, giving talks and demos to various clubs and groups. I want to continue develop a great pack of hounds for our territory and our task. Drag hunting requires super biddability while maintaining the hounds' joy for the chase. They live to hunt their scent, not for the "blood".
eCovertside: You perform many different duties on a daily basis— how do you balance everything?
Kate: Though my primary responsibility is to care for, develop, and hunt the hounds, it is not the only thing I do. I take working with our members and educating the public as a very important role. If the MFHs develop and maintain landowner relations, then my first whipper-in and I can concentrate on getting the word out that 1) we exist; 2) it's fun, and not a crazy/dangerous thing that we do; and 3) yes, with the right horse and some practice almost anyone can enjoy it!
