![]() Of course we could have continued, but maybe with the wrong guys. Michael Monroe says that “the main thing for me was to stop Hanoi Rocks. ![]() I touched his shoulder and said, ‘Bye Razzle.’”īut the crash in Redondo Beach ended it all in an instant. I went to see the body and he looked like a wax doll. It was a nightmare for him to see his friend in that way. It was our tour manager that went to identify him, and he never got over it. I’m glad that I wasn’t there because I probably would have demanded to see him. “Razzle was dead on arrival at the hospital,” says Monroe, who at the time was Hanoi Rocks’ singer. The vehicle careered into the path of oncoming traffic and smashed into two other cars. Michael Monroe could have been famous had his friend not been killed by a rock star. On December 8 1984, Nicholas ‘Razzle’ Dingley, the drummer with Hanoi Rocks, was a passenger in an orange-red 72 Ford Pantera sports car driven by Vince Neil, the front man with Mötley Crüe, when Neil lost control on a stretch of road near Redondo Beach in California. ![]() How did lead singer Michael Monroe carry on?

Though they may feel like they’re just finding their legs, fawn stands tall, unafraid to explore and define the unique sonic language of OK Cool.Behind the music: A weekly series celebrating music's untold stories, from band-splitting feuds to the greatest performances of all time. The idea of a baby deer learning to walk felt pretty appropriate for the title of the EP–it parallels the vulnerability that comes with taking on new experiences,” Blomquist notes. “It definitely did, and still mostly does, feel like we’re just finding our legs in all of this. All we really knew is that we were always on the same page creatively in each project we had been in, and that was good enough to try writing together,” Stiebris explains. “I had never sung on stage in my life and was extremely nervous about it. Though the EP packs a confident punch, neither Stiebris (26) nor Blomquist (25) had ever taken on main songwriting duties in a band before starting OK Cool. The duo’s curiosity for experimentation is reflected throughout: linear, untraditional song structures are bolstered by their athletic musical precision, acute sense for hooks, and wall-of-sound mastery crafted with reverberated Telecasters and transcendent effects. It’s a kaleidoscopic stride that showcases the ongoing evolution in their union of glistening math rock and dream pop that the two shredders have been working on since their inception in 2020. I spend a lot of time with my sets and characters whenever I make a video, and this was a very fun environment to live in for a few months.”Įight songs clocking in at a head-spinning, 17-minute runtime, OK Cool’s third EP fawn is at heart a direct line into the minds and creative processes of the band’s songwriters Blomquist and Bridget Stiebris. ![]() ![]() “The final phrase of the song, ‘If I lay down the world will open up and leave me’ especially resonated with me, so I tried to create a representation of the worst case scenario fears that I have about exiting an ecosystem that seemingly depends on me. “One of the many things I enjoy about making music videos is grabbing inspiration from a song and creating a little world from it,” says Baughman of the ambitious video. “It can feel like a waste of time to not be productive when there’s so many plates I’m trying to balance at once, ultimately making it hard to ever relax without feeling like ‘if I lay down, the earth will open up and leave me.’” “nissanweekends” follows the soaring lead single “normal c,” which Stereogum praised as “full of snaking riffs and fiery vocals, and on first listen it strikes me as quite good.” “‘nissanweekends’ was written about the monotony of work and the stress that comes with balancing your time around it” explains the band’s Haley Blomquist. The shimmering, fuzzed out ballad arrives alongside an equally charming stop-motion animated video created by Joe Baughman.

M-Bot forces Spensa to take his mobile receptor with her to her meeting with Jorgen, and Spensa informs Dobsi, a ground crew member, of the damage M-Bot's fuselage sustained. Skyward Flight meets up with Xiwang Flight to dock at Platform Prime, a large, blue-glowing platform. M-Bot calculates the flight's return to Platform Prime through the other abandoned platforms as Spensa contemplates how many people must have used to live on the platforms, with all the skyscrapers dotting them. The group finally receives orders to return to Platform Prime, and they begin their descent. M-Bot informs Spensa they are capable of bombarding the planet, to which she responds that the defense platforms will hold. Sadie informs the others of a warning light on her proximity monitor, and the four look up to see the arrival of two Superiority battleships docking near the Krell monitoring station. Jorgen contacts Spensa, fuming, and gives her, FM, Kimmalyn, and Spensa's new wingmate, Sadie, instructions to hang out for a bit until they have orders to return to their new command post on the defense platforms, Platform Prime. She also recognizes that humanity will eventually win, as they are slowly recapturing more and more defense platforms and acclivity stone, and M-Bot's technology is helping the entire fleet. ![]() Spensa wonders why the Superiority doesn't just send dozens if not hundreds of aces like the one she'd just fought to wipe humanity out in one fell swoop. Spensa swings back around to inspect the ace's debris, and M-Bot informs her that the fight really could have ended either way. M-Bot reminds Spensa of the presence of the drones, and she begins to turn her ship around, only for Kimmalyn and FM to swoop in and finish off the drones. The ace misses, but both of Spensa's shots connect, destroying the sleek black ship. Spensa performs a maneuver to get on the ace's tail, trails them for a bit, and eventually gets a shot off as the ace spins around and takes a shot at Spensa. Spensa sinks into her subconscious and attempts to activate M-Bot's cytonic hyperdrive, but M-Bot informs her it is offline. While waiting, she flies closer to Detritus so that the planet's defense systems will begin targeting the Krell, thus negating their superiority in numbers. The drones help the ace corner Spensa, so she tells M-Bot to call Jorgen. Spensa blasts a drone out of the sky, but runs into its debris, as there is no gravity in space to bring it down to the ground. Spensa performs maneuvers to evade the enemy ace, as her shields are down and theirs are not. ![]() She sees a smaller, sleek black Krell ship, not a drone, but a Krell-manned ship, an ace. Spensa starts slipping deeper into her trance, when M-Bot jolts her out of it by informing her that he has detected a new ship. She feels the eyes begin to burn her, full of hatred, as she recalls activating her cytonics at the Battle of Alta Second after slipping into the nowhere. Spensa is presented with a chance to return to the main battle, but she peels off to confront two Krell drones, and she begins to sink into her subconscious, into the nowhere. Spensa, able to hear and react to the Krell's faster-than-light (FTL) communication faster than themselves, easily uses her IMP to disable the Krell shields and swing around with her light lance to destroy them. Spensa deviates from this plan, however, and flies back toward Detritus, where Rodge McCaffrey and the engineers have succeeded in recapturing some of the ancient defense systems and platforms of the planet. M-Bot reminds Spensa that she's supposed to be leading the Krell back to her flightmates for an ambush, as the Krell will seek out flashy and experienced pilots to hurt the humans' air force. She contemplates M-Bot's lost advantage in not having to worry about being ripped apart in Detritus's atmosphere, as she and the Krell are now fighting in the vacuum of space, independent of drag and air resistance. Spensa flies around outside the atmosphere of Detritus in M-Bot, fighting Krell. ![]() ![]() ![]() One study in an XP population found therapeutic use of fluorouracil (5-FU) to be efficacious, particularly in the treatment of extensive lesions. Treatment of hereditary skin cancers is similar to the treatment of sporadic skin cancers. Isotretinoin has also been shown to reduce SCC incidence among patients with XP. Vismodegib has also shown promise in reducing the per-patient annual rate of new BCCs requiring surgery among patients with BCNS. Chemopreventive agents such as isotretinoin and acitretin have been studied for the treatment of BCCs in patients with BCNS and XP and are associated with a significant decrease in the number of tumors per year. Risk-reducing strategies for individuals with an increased hereditary predisposition to skin cancer are similar to recommendations for the general population, and include sun avoidance, use of sunscreen, use of sun-protective clothing, and avoidance of tanning beds. Genome-wide association studies show promise in identifying common, low-penetrance susceptibility alleles for many complex diseases, including melanoma, but the clinical utility of these findings remains uncertain. Germline pathogenic variants in several other genes, including CDK4, MITF, BAP1, and BRCA2, have also been found to be associated with melanoma. The major germline tumor suppressor gene associated with melanoma is CDKN2A pathogenic variants in CDKN2A have been estimated to account for 35% to 40% of all familial melanomas. The autosomal recessive disease xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) is associated with an increased risk of BCC, SCC, and melanoma. Syndromes such as oculocutaneous albinism, epidermolysis bullosa, and Fanconi anemia are associated with an increased risk of SCC. Basal cell nevus syndrome (BCNS, caused by pathogenic variants in PTCH1 and PTCH2) is associated with an increased risk of BCC. Several genes and hereditary syndromes are associated with the development of skin cancer. It is the most lethal of the common skin cancers. Melanoma (which is sometimes referred to as cutaneous melanoma) is a less common type of skin cancer, but 5% to 10% of all melanomas arise in multiple-case families and may be inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion. Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) are two of the most common malignancies in the United States and are often caused by sun exposure, although several hereditary syndromes and genes are also associated with an increased risk of developing these cancers. More than 100 types of tumors are clinically apparent on the skin many are known to have familial and/or inherited components, either in isolation or as part of a syndrome with other features.

Even worse, your favorite movie might be scratched, meaning your DVD player can’t read it. Of course, many newer devices don’t even have DVD support, making it impossible to play your collection.

While purely subjective and based solely on personal experience, I'll give you some things to look out for which I feel are done wrong often, even if you try to apply the strategy described here. Now, going down will result in the top row holding only the 32 and possibly a random spawn, so you can move the 32 back to either the top right or top left corner. This could be a lucky result from going left after a 2 appeared in the wrong place when going right in the previous example. An example of this setup is this: 2 32 16 8 right) and have all tiles to either side of it mutable, then execute that command and in the next step, move it back into the now free corner. ![]() the direction opposite of the border it touches (so if it's at the left, make it immutable w.r.t. Explaining them in detail would go beyond the scope of this answer, but the basic strategy is to get the highest tile immutable w.r.t. If it is, however, there are ways to recover. This is one of those cases where you have to gamble and hope your highest tile is not blocked by the newly spawned tile. An example of such a field would be this: 32 16 8 some direction and mutable to all others. Sometimes it just happens that the entire field is immutable w.r.t. So basically, you're building a tile of one step less than your highest value tile next to it in such a way that they don't move around. What's important is that this chain or most of it should be part of your immutable subset. This chain can be along borders, usually in a snake formation, but can also go inside the field. Respecting this preference order, the second trick to solve the puzzle is to build consecutive chains, that is, tiles with values decreasing one step each, one next to the other. This puts right as the third key in you preference order and means the last key, which you will want to avoid as much as possible, is up. For example, if you choose the bottom left corner and down over left, then you will soon have an immutable subset along the bottom row w.r.t. the inputs perpendicular to the first one. The key you use most often will result in the creation of an immutable subset along an entire border of the field w.r.t. Those are the keys that point towards the corner you picked earlier. One key will be the one you use most of the time, another one nearly as often. To actually do this, you will need a preference order of keys you use. ![]() In this case, though, make sure the location of the new highest tile is the same as that of the old highest tile. The only exception is when you actually created another tile of same value next to it and merge them to get one step further. Pick a corner, build a high tile there and make sure it's always part of an immutable subset from then on. This way, the highest tile will remain in the same spot no matter what you do. From there on, the trick is to use only such input commands that include your highest tile in an immutable subset. Understanding immutable subsets is basically all you need. right: the 4 8 block and the 2 in the bottom right corner.The 2 in the bottom right corner is immutable w.r.t. The 2 4 8part of the top row is immutable with respect to up and the 4 8 part is immutable w.r.t. Usually this comes with a restriction on the input commands you can use and the immutable subsets with respect to the different input commands can be different. IntermissionĪn immutable subset is a collection of tiles that don't change (in this case move) within a specific set of rules. I'll explain what this means using 2048, but it really applies to most, if not all, of the games similar to it in nature. to all merging/matching/combining games like this is creating what's called immutable subsets. ![]() ![]() ![]() Enable/disable the Audio/Speech and adjust volume.Enable/disable Keypad (Vacation/Privacy Mode).Patch for firmware defect in Schlage Connect, JFE109/BE469/BE468/BE468ZP/ BE469ZP/ FE469ZP which causes a loss of user details in lock/unlock notifications.Workaround for lock firmware bug in the FE599 and BE369 where it does not report the relock event after a user unlocks using a code.Report if the user entered invalid codes through the ‘invalidCode’ attribute (fixed by lock at one report for every 4 attempts).Enable/disable Lock n Leave (one touch locking).Report alarms as motion sensors ( FE469/BE469/ BE469ZP) (optional, requires enabling in code).Change user pin code length for Schlage Connect (468/ 469/109 series).Configure the sensitivity of the Alarm for each mode (from Highest to Lowest in 5 steps) ( FE469/ BE469).Configure the Local Alarm Mode on the lock (Off/Alert/Tamper/Forced Entry) ( FE469/ BE469).Additional Z-Wave/Plus Lock Features (varies by model) For configuring the mode/sensitivity of the built in Schlage siren/alarm see this topic. invalid codes) and create custom actions/rules in CoRE/WebCoRE refer to this post.
