Trigger Mortis

Trigger Mortis is a 2015 James Bond novel written by Anthony Horowitz, and the latest Bond novel to be commissioned by the estate of Bond's creator Ian Fleming, which was published on 8 September 2015.

Plot

The book is set in 1957 against the backdrop of the Space Race, and begins two weeks after the events of Goldfinger. The novel is the first in the literary series to be set during the original timeline created by Fleming since 1968's Colonel Sun and sees the return of Bond girl Pussy Galore, who made her debut in Goldfinger. Bond's mission is to protect a British racing driver at the Nürburgring racetrack. He begins with driving lessons from an expert lady driver, who shows Bond the ropes in a Maserati 250. Pussy finds herself a little tied up and painted a la Goldfinger, but Bond saves her just before she succumbs to death by painting. At the Nürburgring Bond beats the would be assassin with a pit manoeuvre at high speed and the true mission is then revealed.

Background

Trigger Mortis was announced in October 2014. It contains previously unpublished material written by Fleming for an unfilmed television series, Murder on Wheels, which Horowitz has used to write the opening chapter. The book title was revealed on 28 May 2015 to coincide with Fleming's 107th birthday.

Trigger (band)

Trigger is a Serbian hard rock/heavy metal band from Belgrade.

History

The band was formed in 2005. During the same year, the band started working on the songs for their debut album, enetering the studio in 2006. The lineup changed several times during the work on the album, but became stable at the beginning of 2007. It featured female vocalist Milena Branković, guitarist Dušan Svilokos Đurić, bass guitarist Petar "Pera" Popović, keyboardist Marko Antonić, and drummer Zoran Jović "Đavo".

The band's debut album Ljubav (Love) was released in December 2007 through PGP-RTS.Ljubav was imagined as a concept album, featuring lyrics dealing with dark sides of love. The album was met with mostly positive reactions by the critics. The promotional video was recorded for the song "Jedan dan" ("A Day"). "Jedan dan" won the first place on TV Panonija chart, TV Metropolis Top 10 chart, and Radio 202 Hit of the Week chart. During the same year, the band started the concert promotion of the album, starting with the appearance on Belgrade Beer Fest. In 2008, the band was awarded with the Discovery of the Year Award by TV Metropolis, and was polled the Best Young Band of 2008 by the listeners of the Radio 202 show Hit 202.

Trigger (particle physics)

In particle physics, a trigger is a system that uses criteria to rapidly decide which events in a particle detector to keep when only a small fraction of the total can be recorded. Trigger systems are necessary due to real-world limitations in computing power, data storage capacity and rates. Since experiments are typically searching for "interesting" events (such as decays of rare particles) that occur at a relatively low rate, trigger systems are used to identify the events that should be recorded for later analysis. Current accelerators have event rates greater than 1 MHz and trigger rates that can be below 10 Hz. The ratio of the trigger rate to the event rate is referred to as the selectivity of the trigger. For example, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has an event rate of 40 MHz (4·10⁷ Hz), and the Higgs boson is expected to be produced there at a rate of roughly 1 Hz. The LHC detectors can manage to permanently store a few hundred events per second. Therefore the minimum selectivity required is 10⁻⁵, with much stricter requirements for the data analysis afterwards.
