title: Torberry Hill

text:
Torberry Hill (also spelled Tarberry Hill and Torbery Hill) is an Iron Age hillfort in the county of West Sussex, in southern England. It is a Scheduled Ancient Monument, with a list entry identification number of 1015966. The hill fort is located within the parish of Harting, within the South Downs National Park. The hill includes the remains of an Early Iron Age univallate hill fort (c. 800–300 BC), a Middle Iron Age promontory fort (c. 300–100 BC) and a post-medieval post mill. The hill is a chalk spur projecting northwards from the South Downs.

Geology and land use

The bedrock of Torberry Hill consists of Zig Zag Chalk at the summit, overlying West Melbury Marly Chalk. Torberry Hill is characterised by farmland with woodland on the steep slopes. Torberry Hill features former grazing land that is reverting to woodland. Records indicate that Torberry Hill was common pasture by 1399, when fines were issued for the trespass of over 700 sheep in violation of stinting limits. By the mid-16th century Torberry Hill was farmed as arable land, and it had been divided into enclosures by 1632.

Description and excavations
The fort was partially excavated in 1948 and from 1956 to 1958. It is roughly pear-shaped and covers and area of ; it is aligned approximately east–west. The fort has been damaged by ploughing in the early post-medieval period, and the rampart survives as a low bank and a largely ploughed-in ditch. The interior of the fort contained a number of infilled storage pits; potsherds recovered from them date them to the Iron Age. Pottery from Torberry Hill is very similar to that recovered from the Trundle. Other finds from Torberry Hill include a curry comb, two knives, an iron spearhead and a horn weaving-comb; all these artefacts were placed in Lewes museum.

The rampart of Torberry has been classified as a Low Dump Rampart. This consisted of a rampart that was approximately  high, with a ditch that may have been as deep as the rampart was high. The rampart was asymmetrical in cross-section, with a gently tapered internal slope and a steep external face with an angle between 50° and 60°. The northern section of the rampart is downhill from the interior, and the enclosed area adjacent to it is too steep for settlement.

Site history

Archaeologists discovered possible traces of pre-hillfort activity, dating to the 6th century BC. Evidence from pottery suggest that occupation on the hill had its origin in the Late Bronze Age. Torberry hill fort underwent its earliest phase of construction between the 5th and 3rd centuries BC, when the defences of the promontory fort were built. A ditch, no longer extant, ran north–south, bordered by a bank reinforced with a timber palisade, defending the western portion of the hill. Access was via a simple entrance. It has been suggested that Torberry hillfort was built to replace the nearby hilltop enclosure on Harting Beacon; this conjecture is supported by the known chronology of the two sites. The defences were extended in the 3rd century BC to enclose the whole hilltop; a new entrance was built on the east side and the north–south rampart across the middle of the hill was levelled, and used to fill the accompanying ditch. The entrance was redesigned in the 2nd century BC as a stone-walled passageway curving inwards towards a sizeable timber gate. The stone-reinforced walls replaced earlier timber walls, originally erected as retaining walls to hold back the flanking ends of the rampart. The timber was later replaced with stone facing, in parallel with advances in hillfort construction techniques. Due to the soft local chalk, stone for building the retaining walls had to be imported. In about 100 BC, this gate was destroyed. The interior of the fort has traces of sporadic activity that continued into the Roman period (43–409 AD).

In the post-medieval period, a post mill was built in the western portion of the fort, upon the highest part of the hill. It survives only as a low cross-shaped mound, approximately  across, which is known locally as the Fairy Bed.

Folklore
In folklore, Torberry Hill was said to have been formed when the Devil burnt himself tasting hot punch from the Devil's Punch Bowl in Surrey. He flung his spoon aside in anger, thus forming Torberry Hill. Local folklore holds that an unspecified treasure is buried on Torberry Hill. In 1877 a rhyme was recorded as:
Who knows what Tarberry would bear
Would plough it with a golden share

More recently, the rhyme has shifted to make a golden ploughshare a prerequisite for recovering the treasure:
He who would find what Torbery would bear
Must plough it with a golden share

Fairies are said to dance upon Torberry Hill on Midsummer Eve.

title: Aeroflot Flight 909

text:
Aeroflot Flight 909 was a scheduled domestic flight overnight on 5/6 March 1976 flown by Ilyushin Il-18E registered CCCP-74508.  The aircraft lost control following an electrical failure and crashed near Voronezh in the Soviet Union. All 111 on board were killed.

Accident
The aircraft was on a domestic passenger flight between Moscow and Yerevan at flight level 260 (about ) when an electrical failure disabled some of the aircraft instruments including the compass and the two main gyros. Some people say that the aircraft may have collided with a military training airplane that had lost its way during a night flight. It was 00:58 in the dark and according to the official version without a natural horizon due to clouds the crew became confused on the orientation of the aircraft and control was lost and the aircraft crashed killing all on board. However, a number of experts affirm that it is difficult to believe that such a professional crew could lose control in these circumstances.  Some reports show that seven were killed on the ground.

Aircraft
The aircraft was a four-engined Ilyushin Il-18E turboprop built in 1966.

title: Albemarle Bertie (MP)

text:
Albemarle Bertie (c. 1668–1742), of Swinstead, Lincolnshire, was an English Whig politician who sat in the English and British House of Commons between 1705 and 1741.

The fifth son of Robert Bertie, 3rd Earl of Lindsey and his wife Elizabeth Wharton, he successfully contested Lincolnshire for the Whigs at the 1705 English general election. At the 1708 British general election, he stood down at Lincolnshire to make way for his nephew, Lord Willoughby de Eresby and was returned instead for Cockermouth on the interest of his uncle, the 1st Earl of Wharton. He was probably the candidate put up by the Wharton interest at Appleby at the 1710 British general election, who withdrew before the poll expressing a desire to sit no longer in Parliament.

Bertie stood for Lincolnshire again at a by-election in 1721, but was defeated. At the 1734 British general election, he was returned for Boston by his nephew, now the 2nd Duke of Ancaster and Kesteven, but stood down again at the 1741 British general election and died the following year.

title: Munnariyippu

text:
Munnariyippu () is a 2014 Indian Malayalam-language psychological experimental thriller film directed by Venu and produced by Ranjith, screenplay by Unni R. The film stars Mammootty and Aparna Gopinath, with Nedumudi Venu, Joy Mathew, Prathap Pothan, Sreeraman, Renji Panicker, Saiju Kurup, Joshy Mathew, and Sudheesh in supporting roles. Prithviraj Sukumaran appears in a cameo role.

The film follows Anjali Arakkal (Aparna Gopinath), a junior journalist, who has set out to write an autobiography on convict C. K. Raghavan (Mammootty), who professes that he never committed the crimes he is in prison for. It released on 22 August 2014 to critical and commercial acclaim.

Aparna and Mammootty's performance in the film were critically acclaimed. However the latter performance in the film was ranked by Film Companion amongst 100 Greatest Performances of the Decade.

Plot
Anjali Arakkal, a freelance journalist, while interacting with a retiring jail superintendent named Rama Moorthy for ghostwriting his autobiography, meets C. K. Raghavan, a prisoner committed for double homicide serving 20 years even after his official term in jail. Raghavan was tried for killing his wife and the daughter of his employer, yet he occasionally proclaims his innocence.

With Moorthy's information, the young journalist discovers that Raghavan writes. She gets access to his writings in which Raghavan interprets world around him in his own way. Raghavan writes sentences like "Does the reflected image in a mirror look back at him or does it accept him and come along with him?"; "A prison should be a place for people to understand their mistakes and correct them rather than a place for punishment"; and "Life is a struggle before death".  All this makes Anjali attracted to the mystery that Raghavan has built. Further, Raghavan's outlook on freedom and responsibility with his own brand of philosophy impresses Anjali, and she decides to write a feature about him.

The featured article gains much attention, and proposals come for publishing Raghavan's biography with his philosophies. Anjali decides to use this opportunity to make a name for herself with cooperation from Raghavan's side. Raghavan is much happy about the newly gained attention he is receiving. Anjali decides to visit Raghavan in jail and process release for him from jail. After release, she finds accommodation for him and compels him to write-up events and interpretation of them for making it a book, though Raghavan hesitates. Later, while Raghavan is lollygagging, he meets up with his aspirants, and they invite him for a drink. Under influence there, he reveals his ideology about freedom as "Removing elements that obstructs the person is known as freedom. If it happens in home, it is called as domestic abuse. If it happens in society, it is revolution. Irrespective of where it happens where there is revolution, blood will spill". Anjali reaches the limit with Raghavan's lollygagging and reacts badly in presence of her colleague Mohan. Mohan advises Anjali to not pressurize a person who was reluctant to come out from jail. Anjali faces a problem when the deadline to submit the material for the book is nearing and Raghavan has not even started writing. Above that, there are other journalists who try to get the full picture of Raghavan's story. She decides that it is best to move Raghavan to an undisclosed place.

Anjali is pressurized by the publishers. The new accommodation and lack of facilities irk Raghavan. Anjali's marriage seems almost fixed with Chackochan, and she decides to leave the book publishing project and settle the deal in court. Anjali meets with Raghavan and gives his diary and money received from jail for his rehabilitation and lashes out on him on how his stubbornness and complaints to the various accommodation and surroundings did not suit him. Raghavan smirks at her and gives her the full script of the story. Skipping through it, she comes in grip with the reality of Raghavan's true nature. Fear creeps under her skin. Raghavan tell her that he wants a new accommodation, wanting to go back to jail. With that, he murders her with one blow to the head.

Finally, Raghavan is shown peacefully sleeping at jail. Photos of Anjali along with his other victims are seen pasted near to the jail wall as trophies of his victory to his own psychotic idealization of freedom.

Production
Venu was directing a film after 16 years, after his directorial debut Daya (1998) written by M. T. Vasudevan Nair. Venu created an idea including the opening and the conclusion for the plot since 2010. During the intervals between his busy schedule as a cinematographer, his wife and editor Bina Paul advised Venu to develop the thread into a story. Initially, Venu wanted to direct the film in Hindi and developed the story with Mumbai as the background. It was Bina Paul who noted that Malayalam would be better.

Venu's plan to write the screenplay by himself did not work out. After some days, he employed author and scenarist Unni R. Since then, Unni completed the whole screenplay with dialogues in a short span of time.

Initial choice for protagonist role was either Mammootty or Sreenivasan. Sreenivasan listened the story, but he did not sign in the film due to his highly tight schedule.
After a few months, director Ranjith came in to finance the film. Ranjith narrated the story to Mammootty via phone. Mammootty committed the film within a 10-minute-long phone talk.

In early February 2014, Venu announced that in his upcoming directorial Rima Kallingal would play a role of a journalist who writes the biography of a person released from prison, played by Mammootty. However, by the end of February, Kallingal backed out from the project, citing date issues. The makers then decided to replace the actress by Aparna Gopinath. In late March, actress Muthumani announced that she had signed up in the film. She acted with Mammootty second time and her role was reported to be of a Delhi-based journalist. Young actor Minon John played a prominent role in the film, about which he said that he was guided and eased by Mammootty in their collaboration scenes.

The filming, participated by Mammootty, Aparna Gopinath and Renji Panicker, took place in an old building at the Gujarathi Street in Kozhikkode as well as in and around Kozhikkode town. The film was made on low budget and was completed filming in just 28 days.

Release
The film was released on 22 August 2014.

Critical reception
Nidheesh M K of The New Indian Express described Munnariyippu as "a film that demands from us more than few bucks at the pay counter." He also wrote, "For the classic that it is, Munnariyippu is bound to remain in the hearts of those who care for the art of visual storytelling for long time to come." Akhila Menon of Filmibeat.com gave the film 4 stars out of 5 and concluded her review, "A must watch movie recommended for the movie lovers." She also wrote, "Mammootty delivers his best performance in recent times and excels as C K Raghavan. Aparna Gopinath proves her mettle as an actress with the meaty role."

Raj Vikram of Metromatinee.com wrote, "Munnariyippu is a many layered movie; seeps deep into the inner layers of sensibility. Mammootty takes the film to a different level with his expressive acting and subdued mannerisms." Padmakumar K of Malayala Manorama gave the film 3.5/5 and wrote, "Offering an experience which Malayali audience has so far been alien to, Munnariyippu gives an artistic mix of what is captivating as well as outlandish in terms of narrative, thanks to the brilliant work by script writer Unni R." He also said that the film "can be viewed as a movie with a different approach. Or the story of a person with a strange aptitude. Mammootty's character that stands out, stunningly. He is every inch the Raghavan of the film, in looks and in conduct." Aswin J Kumar of The Times of India gave a rating of 3.5/5 and wrote, "It feels good to watch Mammootty in Munnariyippu. It's as though the waxy glow on his face has melted away revealing a face that looks so human and so earthy." He concluded that the film "might not go well with a section of viewers, but this is a smart way of making a film and reinventing an actor." S.R. Praveen of The Hindu wrote in his review, "Munnariyippu, with its skeletal approach, delivers a thumping jolt to the viewer and reclaims the actor who was lost in the jungle of superstardom. One ends up wishing for a little more detail in places but at the same time it looks like holding everything back worked in the end."

Indiaglitz.com gave the film 7/10 and concluded, "A movie with no masala events, but one that is sure to be applauded in desi and international level, Munnariyippu is a must see for connoisseurs of all good cinema." Veeyen of Nowrunning.com wrote, "There is a deconstruction of sorts that occurs in Venu's Munnariyippu, as conventionalities are discarded without a second thought." He gave the film 3 stars out of 5 and wrote about the film as, "a revelatory drama that throws together an emphatic, no-nonsense narrative with a couple of out-of-the-world performances." He also lauded the performance of Mammootty as he wrote that the film "marks the reinvention of an actor [Mammootty] whom we simply adore, and lays forth a hundred reasons as to why we have been in awe of him for so long." Sify.com gave the film a verdict of "Above Average" and wrote, "Munnariyippu is aimed at those sections of viewers, who would like to be part of the narration, creating a visual of their own while watching the movie on screen. But even then, the film leaves you wanting for more."

Box office
The film was both commercial and critical success.

title: Aeroflot Flight 191

text:
Aeroflot Flight 191 was a Soviet domestic passenger flight from Vnukovo International Airport to Ashkhabad (now Ashgabat) International Airport, with a stopover in Krasnovodsk Airport (now Turkmenbashi International Airport). On 5 March 1963, the Ilyushin Il-18 crashed while landing at Ashgabat International Airport as a result of a dust storm. 12 of the 54 people on board were killed.

Aircraft
The aircraft involved was an IL-18V with tail number of CCCP-75765 and a serial number of 181003404. The aircraft was launched on 28 June 1961 and was transferred to Turkmenistan Airlines. At the time of the crash, the aircraft had 2,098 flight hours and 1,213 landings.

Crew
The cockpit crew of Flight 191 consisted of 8 people in the following positions:
 Mikhail Isaevich Romanenko – Pilot
 Alexander Petrovich Dorogov – First officer
 Vasily Alexandrovich Tembay – Navigator
 Anatoly Fedorovich Chumikov – Flight engineer
 Nikolai Fedorovich Krasnov – Flight engineer in training
 Sergey Ivanovich Shalaev – Radio operator
 Pyotr Nikolaevich Petrov – Senior navigator
 Ivan Ivanovich Aldushin – Inspector and senior pilot instructor

Accident
The flights route was from Vnukovo International Airport to Ashgabat International Airport with a stopover at Turkmenbashi International Airport. At 18:04, Flight 191 took off from Turkmenbashi with 43 passengers. According to the weather forecast of the crew in Ashgabat, the sky was covered by cumulonimbus clouds with a lower boundary of 600-1,000 meters. The visibility was 4-10 kilometers. After 21:00, the weather was expected to deteriorate with a dust storm containing northwestern winds at 18–20 m / s and resulting in a visibility of less than 1,000 meters. According to such data, the crew could have completed the flight before the weather worsened. But, the weather worsened much faster than expected and at 17:00, the weather forecaster of Ashgabat Airport issued new data. However, the weather forecaster at Krasnovodsk Airport did not inform the crew about the change in forecast.

The crew of Flight 191 were unaware of the changed forecast in Ashgabat. Five to twenty minutes after departure from Krasnovodsk, at a flight level of 6,000 meters, the aircraft encountered heavy turbulence, making the crew change course. At 19:15, the air traffic controller gave the crew information of a dust storm with a visibility of 300 meters. Because of the strong radio interference caused by the storm, the crew did not hear this data. Since the aircraft had a visibility of 5 kilometers and was already flying in difficult weather conditions, the pilots did not try to find out the updated weather forecast. The air traffic controllers made no attempt to re-contact the aircraft to report the actual weather and redirect it to an alternate airport.

When the aircraft was 25 kilometers north of the airport, the crew began to perform a landing approach with a heading of 295 °. Due to strong atmospheric interference, the radio compass began to give false readings, including the flights non-directional beacon . The crew discovered this error and brought the plane to the area of the beacon. After the 3rd and 4th U-turns, the aircraft, at an altitude of 400 meters, entered its final approach. The first officer took over the controls. The crew reported that they saw the runway lights and began to approach the runway. While landing, the aircraft headlights were turned on, which is a mistake in a dust storm as it creates a screen that reduces visibility.

While attempting to land, the aircraft unexpectedly fell into strong turbulence with a wind of 20-25 m / s and visibility dropping to 30 meters. The aircraft began to roll severely causing the flight instruments to malfunction. At one point, the aircraft was only 7 meters from the ground and 250 meters from the runway with a roll of 5–7 °. The leftmost wheel hit a runway light 6 meters high and the right wheel knocked down a telegraph pole 7 meters high. 150 meters from the runway, having lost speed, the aircraft began to descend, hitting the reinforced concrete pillar of runway lights 100 meters from the site of the first collision. With a roll of 30 °, the aircraft began to bring down reinforced concrete pillars, then the runway fence, after which it crashed 1,012 meters from the end of the runway.

While skidding on the runway, the airliner lost both wings and the cockpit was completely destroyed. The fuselage tipped over on its left side. There was a fire in which the entire middle section of the aircraft burned. All 8 cockpit crew members died along with 4 passengers.

Cause
The immediate cause of the disaster was flying in violation of minimum weather standards. As a result, the aircraft flew into dangerous weather. The air traffic controllers were blamed for the crash as they did not give the crew updated weather information or attempt to offer the flight an alternate airport. The air traffic controllers also decided to land the plane in dangerous weather conditions. A mistake was made by the crew as well as they did not try to seek updated weather information.

title: The Hour of Two Lights

text:
The Hour of Two Lights is a one-off collaborative album between British solo-artist Terry Hall, formerly of the 2 Tone and ska revival band the Specials, and Mushtaq, a member of British-based multi-ethnic hip-hop–ethno-techno–world fusion music group Fun-Da-Mental.

Composition and release
The album was written and produced by the duo, with the exception of "Ten Eleven" which was written with Oujdi and Hall's regular collaborator and label-boss of Honest Jon's, Damon Albarn. Receiving good reviews, the album was released on CD and double-LP by Albarn's Honest Jon's label in Europe (distributed by EMI) and the US (distributed by Astralwerks) in August 2003.

It was Hall's last release of new material, after which he rejoined the Specials as a regular member for live performances, until the release of the Specials' album Encore in 2019.

Critical response

Robin Denselow of The Guardian rated it 4/5 and said of The Hour of Two Lights, "Two of the pioneers of multicultural British pop are back with a daring, thoughtful set..." Ollie Davies of BBC Music said, "It's a political and musical recording of racial minorities and cultures by two of today's pioneers of modern popular music." Sean Westergaard of AllMusic rated One and One Is One 3/5 and thought "Terry Hall took quite a chance on this one, doing something unlike anything in his catalog and pulling it off without a hitch. Well done."

Jeff Brown of CMJ New Music Monthly called it "...a fantastic mélange of East and West, traditional and modernmusic." Uncut rated it 4/5 and called it "...a fantastic record of banging global grooves..." PopMatters of Will Harris thought "The Hour of Two Lights can expand one's musical horizons considerably."

title: Susceptibility and severity of infections in pregnancy

text:
In pregnancy, there is an increased susceptibility and/or severity of several infectious diseases.

General determinants
There are several potential risk factors or causes to this increased risk:
 An increased immune tolerance in pregnancy to prevent an immune reaction against the fetus.
 Maternal physiological changes including a decrease in respiratory volumes and urinary stasis due to an enlarging uterus.
 The presence of a placenta for pathogens to use as a habitat, such as by L. Monocytogenes and P. falciparum.

Examples
Pregnant women are more severely affected by influenza, hepatitis E, herpes simplex and malaria. The evidence is more limited for coccidioidomycosis, measles, smallpox, and varicella. Pregnancy may also increase susceptibility for toxoplasmosis.

During the 2009 H1N1 pandemic, as well as during interpandemic periods, women in the third trimester of pregnancy were at increased risk for severe
disease, such as disease requiring admission to an intensive care unit or resulting in death, as compared with women in an earlier stage of pregnancy.

For hepatitis E, the case fatality rate among pregnant women has been estimated to be between 15% and 25%, as compared with a range of 0.5 to 4% in the population overall, with the highest susceptibility in the third trimester.

Primary herpes simplex infection, when occurring in pregnant women, has an increased risk of dissemination and hepatitis, an otherwise rare complication in immunocompetent adults, particularly during the third trimester. Also, recurrences of herpes genitalis increase in
frequency during pregnancy.

The risk of severe malaria by Plasmodium falciparum is three times as high in pregnant women, with a median maternal mortality of 40% reported in studies in the Asia–Pacific region. In women where the pregnancy is not the first, malaria infection is more often asymptomatic, even at high parasite loads, compared to women having their first pregnancy. There is a decreasing susceptibility to malaria with increasing parity, probably due to immunity to pregnancy-specific antigens. Young maternal age and increases the risk. Studies differ whether the risk is different in different trimesters. Limited data suggest that malaria caused by Plasmodium vivax is also more severe during pregnancy.

Severe and disseminated coccidioidomycosis has been reported to occur in increased frequency in pregnant women in several reports and case series, but subsequent large surveys, with the overall risk being rather low.

Varicella occurs at an increased rate during pregnancy, but mortality is not higher than that among men and non-pregnant women.

Listeriosis mostly occurs during the third trimester, with Hispanic women appearing to be at particular risk. Listeriosis is a vertically transmitted infection that may cause miscarriage, stillbirth, preterm birth, or serious neonatal disease.

Some infections are vertically transmissible, meaning that they can affect the embryo, fetus, or baby.

title: Tavaborole

text:
Tavaborole, sold under the brand name Kerydin, is a topical antifungal medication for the treatment of onychomycosis, a fungal infection of the nail and nail bed with a complete clearance rate of 6-7% and partial clearance rate of 23-24% in individuals whose “infection border does not reach the cuticle at the base of the large toenail.” Tavaborole was approved by the US FDA in July 2014. The medication inhibits an essential fungal enzyme, leucyl-tRNA synthetase, that is required for protein synthesis. The inhibition of protein synthesis leads to termination of cell growth and then cell death, eliminating the fungal infection.

Medical uses
Tavaborole is used in the treatment of onychomycosis. In clinical trials, tavaborole was more effective than the vehicle (ethyl acetate and propylene glycol) alone in curing onychomycosis. In two studies, fungal infection was eliminated using tavaborole in 6.5% of the cases vs. 0.5% using the vehicle alone, and 27.5% vs. 14.6% using the vehicle alone.

Side effects
Application site exfoliation, erythema (rash), and irritation are possible side effects, and may occur in less than 5% of individuals.

Pharmacology
Tavaborole acts as an inhibitor of fungal leucyl-tRNA synthetase.

Pharmacokinetics
Tavaborole, when prepared with a 1:1 mixture of ethyl acetate and propylene glycol, has the ability to fully penetrate through the human nail. In studies with cadaver fingernails, a 5% solution of tavaborole penetrated the nail an average of 524.7 mcg/cm2 after two weeks of daily use.

Tavaborole is detectable in the blood at a level of 3.54 ng/mL after a single use of 0.2 mL of the 5% solution. Tavaborole has an elimination half-life of 28.5 hours, a maximum concentration of 5.17 ng/mL after two weeks of daily use, and takes 8 days to reach the maximum concentration.

Society and culture

Economics
Tavaborole began phase III clinical trials in December 2010 and was approved by the US FDA in July 2014.

Originally developed by Anacor, it is now marketed in the United States by Novartis subsidiary Sandoz. Anacor was paid  and also entered into a profit sharing scheme for future sales. A 10 mL bottle of a 5% solution of tavaborole will cost the patient without insurance about $1,356.

title: 1955 State of the Union Address

text:
The 1955 State of the Union Address was given by the 34th president of the United States, Dwight D. Eisenhower, on Thursday, January 6, 1955, to the 84th United States Congress.  He said, "Every citizen wants to give full expression to his God-given talents and abilities and to have the recognition and respect accorded under our religious and political traditions." He also said, "To protect our nations and our peoples from the catastrophe of a "nuclear holocaust", free nations must maintain countervailing military power to persuade the Communists of the futility of seeking their ends through aggression."  He is referring to what seemed to be the high likelihood of nuclear warfare of the time.
He ended with, "And so, I know with all my heart--and I deeply believe that all Americans know--that, despite the anxieties of this divided world, our faith, and the cause in which we all believe, will surely prevail." This address was given in his first term (1953-1957), in Washington, D.C.

title: The Practice PLC

text:
The Practice PLC is one of the largest providers of Primary Care in the English NHS.

The Practice was established in 2004 - then called Practice Networks - by Dr Jeremy Rose and Dr Ajit Kadirgamar in Amersham.  It now runs over 50 GP surgeries and GP-led Health Centres.  In February 2014 it had the biggest list of about 174,000 registered patients of any provider in England.

In February 2012 the company closed down the Camden Road Surgery – a long-standing GP practice previously taken over by US health company UnitedHealth in 2008 - less than a year after taking over the contract because the surgery's landlord refused an extension for the premises lease beyond April 2012. Camden Road was one of six practices taken over from UnitedHealth when the American firm decided to refocus its UK business to concentrate solely on commissioning support, and exploit the opportunities presented by the Government's NHS reforms.

In February 2018 its practices had a registered population of more than 200,000.  Since 2016 it has been majority owned by the Centene Corporation. In 2016 it set up TPG Complex Care, which is focused on care at home for patients with complex needs.  In  March 2016 it had 517 staff - 188 clinical and 331 in administration.  It ran  five surgeries in Brighton but gave them up in 2016.

title: Phlox glaberrima

text:
Phlox glaberrima (commonly called smooth phlox)  is a species of flowering plant in the phlox family. It is native to the Midwestern and Southeastern United States
where it is found in moist to wet areas. It can be found in both prairies and forests, where it is an indicator of high quality habitat.

The relationships between Phlox glaberrima, Phlox carolina, and Phlox maculata are particularly unclear. There may be hybridization, or an undescribed third species that resembles an intermediate. The phylogenetic relationships of this group of Phlox is currently under review.

title: Apsarasas Kangri

text:
Apsarasas Kangri is a mountain in the Siachen subrange of the Karakoram mountain range. With an elevation of  it is the 96th highest mountain in the world. Apsarasas Kangri is located within the broader Kashmir region disputed between India, Pakistan and China. It is situated on the border between the areas controlled by China as part of the Xinjiang autonomous region, and the Siachen Glacier controlled by India as part of Ladakh.

Apsarasas was named by Grant Peterkin of the 1908 Workman expedition, from apsara ("fairies") and sas ("place"), thus "place of the fairies". There are at least three main summits of near-equal height, usually labeled I to III from west to east over a distance of 5 km. The eastern summit () is separated from the other two by a saddle just over 6800 m high.

Only the western peak (Apsarasas I) appears to have been climbed. The first ascent was made over the west ridge by Yoshio Inagaki, Katsuhisa Yabuta and Takamasa Miyomoto of the Osaka University Mountaineering Club on  August 7, 1976. The second ascent was  by an Indian Army expedition on September 18, 1980, and another Indian army team achieved the third ascent in 1988. Apsarasas II and Apsarasas III are listed as "virgin peaks" by the Indian Mountaineering Foundation, and the eastern summit counts amongst the highest unclimbed peaks.

title: Live in Atlantic City (Beyoncé video)

text:
Live in Atlantic City is a live video album by American recording artist Beyoncé. It was released on November 22, 2013 through Columbia Records and Parkwood Entertainment as a part of the home video release of her autobiographical television film Life Is But a Dream. The concert film contains footage from Beyoncé's four-night residency show at Revel Casino Hotel Atlantic City in Atlantic City, New Jersey, titled Revel Presents: Beyoncé Live between May 25–28, 2012, and was directed by Ed Burke and Beyoncé herself. It encompasses live performances of twenty-one songs, in addition to Beyoncé's then-new song "God Made You Beautiful".

After the film was released, videos of three performances from the concert were released online on Beyoncé's YouTube channel—"Schoolin' Life", "Dance for You" and "Party". Live in Atlantic City was commercially successful, peaking within the top ten on various DVD charts worldwide. The two-disc set of Life Is But a Dream/Live in Atlantic City peaked atop the US Top Music Videos and the UK Music Video Chart, becoming Beyoncé's fourth and first chart-topper in the countries, respectively. It was certified platinum by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) and gold by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA).

Background
On February 16, 2013, Beyoncé released Life Is But a Dream, an autobiographical television film. It premiered on HBO, garnering 1.8 million viewers for the initial broadcast, becoming the largest audience for a documentary since Nielsen Media Research revised its method of measuring viewership in 2004. However, critical commentary towards Life Is But a Dream was mixed with divided opinions by critics.

Film synopsis

Live in Atlantic City contains live performances of twenty-one songs along with a new song "God Made You Beautiful", written by Australian singer-songwriter Sia. Several short excerpts of the performances found on the film are also featured in Life Is But a Dream itself. The film opens with Beyoncé appearing in front of a large screen with her silhouette being seen. As the music of "End of Time" starts, she performs a choreography with her female dancers and French duo Les Twins on stage further singing the song's lyrics. "Get Me Bodied" follows with a similarly choreographed performance and for the third song "Baby Boy", the singer dances with her background dancers in front of a holographic background performing a Dutty Wine dance at the end. "Crazy in Love" and "Diva" are featured as the fourth and fifth song, respectively. "Naughty Girl" is preceded by a video projection with a voice-over by Beyoncé talking about female sexuality. A snippet of Donna Summer's "Love to Love You Baby" is interpolated within it and the singer performs the song with her female dancers. She continues with "Party" for which a prominent Las Vegas showgirl theme is featured.

Prior to starting "Dance for You", Beyoncé announces to the audience that she is going to dance to the song without singing it. "Freakum Dress" opens with a short interlude during which several dancers appear onstage dancing with long dresses. Beyoncé appears and performs the song, interacting with her guitarist towards the end. "I Care" is performed by the singer alone on stage and during "Schoolin' Life" a laser show is displayed for a choreographed dance. "1+1" sees Beyoncé singing the song atop a piano and "Flaws and All" follows. "Run the World (Girls)" is preceded by a video interlude set to the music of "Countdown", shown on the screen onstage. A video featuring various footage from Beyoncé's life follows as she recites the lyrics from her song "I Was Here". After that, she performs the opening lines of "I Will Always Love You" a cappella as a tribute to Whitney Houston and continues with her own song "Halo". "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It) is performed afterwards with the same choreography from its music video and "Green Light" is used as the encore. "Love on Top" is the last song on Live in Atlantic City, performed by Beyoncé and her dancers as the credits for the concert film are shown.

"God Made You Beautiful" is featured as a bonus audio song on the album and it premiered online on November 22, 2013. It is a down-tempo ballad, with a staccato beat and a gospel-tinged chorus. Instrumentally, it consists of drums, strings, pianos, runs and hand claps. It opens with an "echoey" a cappella choir and it lyrically talks about Beyoncé and Jay-Z's daughter Blue Ivy as the singer tells that she "brought me back to life/you bring me back to life."

Release
Live in Atlantic Citys home video release for DVD and Blu-ray formats was announced on October 30, 2013 along with a trailer. During the video, it was revealed that the release included a two-disc set, with the second part, Live in Atlantic City, being bonus concert footage filmed during Beyoncé's four-night residency show Revel Presents: Beyoncé Live at Revel Atlantic City between May 25–28, 2012. A new song, titled "God Made You Beautiful", was also featured on the concert film and heard as the background music in the trailer. The home media release was made available for pre-order on November 1, 2013. Live in Atlantic City was first released in Germany and the Netherlands on November 22, 2013 as part of the two-disc set of Life Is But a Dream. Three days later, the DVD was also released in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom, and the Blu-ray edition was released in the latter country the same day. In the United States, the Blu-ray edition was released on December 17, 2013.

After the film was released, videos of the performances of three songs were released online. The performance of "Schoolin' Life" from the film was previewed on Beyoncé's official YouTube channel on November 25, 2013. A writer of Vibe magazine felt that the laser light show from the performance "brighten[ed] up Atlantic City". The performance of "Dance for You" was also uploaded to the singer's channel two days later. The live rendition of "Party" was the final uploaded video from the concert film on December 2. John Walker of MTV reviewed it positively writing: "The sparkling, goddess-like centerpiece in a swirling sea of pink feathers, Beyoncé shines like a true showgirl on stage. Thankfully, unlike the 1995 camp classic, none of her backup dancers look nefarious enough to try anything funny". Walker further praised Beyoncé's vocals and dance moves as "on point as always" and the "flawlessly areolicious bustier" she wore.

Commercial performance
On November 30, 2013, Live in Atlantic City debuted at number four on the Dutch Music DVD Chart and later peaked at number two. The same week it also debuted at number ten on the Belgian Music DVD Chart in Flanders and at number thirty on the French Music DVD Chart. The next week, the album moved to number nine on the French Music DVD Chart, setting a new peak position in that country. On the Spanish Music DVD Chart it peaked at number eleven on November 25, 2013, which became its only placement outside of the top ten on a DVD chart.

The album debuted at number one in the United Kingdom on December 7, 2013, becoming Beyoncé's first UK Music Video Chart number-one. It remained at the top in its second week, before falling to number two by One Night at the Palladium (2013) by Robbie Williams the following week. It spent six more weeks within the top five on the chart and it was seen for the last time on May 31, 2014 at number forty, having spent a total of twenty-six weeks on the chart. On December 27, 2013 the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) certified the album platinum for shipments of 50,000 copies in the United Kingdom. In the United States, Live in Atlantic City became Beyoncé's fourth number-one album on the Top Music Videos chart, debuting on top for the week of December 14, 2013. In Australia, the album peaked at number two on the chart and was certified gold by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) for shipments of 7,500 copies.

title: Alice Mary Hagen

text:
Alice Mary Hagen (born Alice Mary Egan; 1872 – January 1972) was a Canadian ceramic artist from Halifax, Nova Scotia. She was trained in china painting, and earned her living through selling painted chinaware and teaching. She was among the artists selected to paint plates for the 1897 Canadian Historical Dinner Service. She gained a high reputation for the quality of her work, for which she won various prizes. She married happily and had two daughters. She continued to paint china while raising her family in Canada and Jamaica. When she was about sixty and her husband had retired she learned to make pottery at her studio in Nova Scotia, and was a pioneer of studio pottery in the area. She continued to produce and sell painted pottery until she was aged 93. Many ceramic artists acknowledged their debt to Alice Hagen as a teacher and an example.

Early years

Alice Mary Egan was born in Halifax, Nova Scotia, in 1872.
Her parents were Lieutenant-Colonel Thomas J. Egan and Margaret Kelley.
Her father owned a store that sold guns and sporting goods in downtown Halifax, and by the early 20th century was also offering taxidermy services.
He was a prominent member of the Irish Catholic community of the city, a founding member of the Halifax Rifles militia unit and the author of the History of the Halifax Volunteer Battalion and Volunteer Companies 1859-1887.
She had two sisters and one brother.

Alice's mother was an amateur artist of some ability, and encouraged Alice to draw and paint.
She determined to become a professional artist, against her parents' wishes.
Her father thought that millinery would be a more secure source of income than art, even though pay was low, but Alice was determined.
Alice Egan first studied art at the Mount Saint Vincent Academy, Halifax.
She then studied at the Victoria School of Art and Design, which later became the Nova Scotia College of Art.
She also studied at the Osgood Art School in New York.

China painter

Around 1892 an artist named Bessie Brown taught Alice Egan basic china painting techniques.
Bessie Brown was the sister-in-law of John Thompson, prime minister of Canada.
China painting was a popular medium at that time for professional women artists.
It was one of the few respectable media for women artists, perhaps due to its associations with decorating the home.
She went on to study china painting under Adelaïde Alsop Robineau in New York in 1896.
Alice Egan leased a studio in Halifax in the commercial Roy Building.
She equipped it with a kiln, purchased from the profits from her early sales, and used the studio to paint and to teach.
Photographs show that she took care to give the room and feminine and domestic feeling despite its commercial purpose.

In 1896 the Woman's Art Association of Canada decided to commission a state dinner service to be painted on china by members of the association.
Mary Dignam supervised the work of Alice Egan and twelve other Ontario and Quebec artists.
These included Lily Osman Adams (1865–1945) and Phoebe Amelia Watson (1858–1947).
The dinner service for eight courses with 24 place settings was to commemorate the 400th anniversary in 1897 of John Cabot's discovery of Canada.
Alice Egan was chosen to paint twelve of the game plates.
Her father was a hunter, and she used his Audubon books as guides for her illustrations.
Each of these plates is painted on bone china blanks from Doulton & Co. of Burslem, Staffordshire, England, and depicts a different Canadian game bird.
The finished product was well received.
In 1898 the "Canadian Historical Dinner Service" was purchased by private subscriptions from members of the Senate and House of Commons of Canada, and on 13 June 1898 was formally presented to Lady Aberdeen by the Senate of Canada after the end of the term of her husband as Governor General.

Alice Egan taught china painting at her studio in 1898–99.
She was an instructor in china painting in the Victoria School of Art & Design in 1899-1900.
She was particularly adept in lustre, an overglaze colorant fired at low temperatures.
All the lustre seems brown when it is painted on the piece, but the colors emerge during firing.
Sometimes Hagen would paint and fire several layer in succession.
She used published pictures and designs for the images and motifs on her work, and sometimes drew from nature.
The images were in a broad range of styles including naturalist, figurative, Asian and Art Nouveau.

In 1901 Alice married John Hagen of the Halifax and Bermuda Cable Company.
They had two daughters, Rachel, born 1902, and Kathleen, born 1905.
In 1910 John Hagen was transferred to Jamaica.
Alice Hagen worked and taught in Jamaica, and her work was widely exhibited in the Caribbean islands.
She sold her work and donated the proceeds to the Red Cross.
She was the first woman to be awarded the bronze Musgrave Medal for her contribution to art in Jamaica, and the first woman to be awarded the silver medal.
The Hagens returned to Halifax in 1916.
Soon after she held an exhibition at the Women's Art Association Studio in Toronto.
Alice Hagen continued to paint china, to teach and to exhibit in Halifax and Toronto.
Her students were often school teachers and nuns.

Potter

In 1930 John Hagen retired from the Halifax and Bermuda Cable Company.
The Hagens went on a tour of Europe, and Alice visited leading china manufacturers in England, France and Italy.
In London she saw early Near Eastern lustre wares in a Persian Art Exhibit. In France she became interested in making pottery when she visited a pottery staffed by war veterans and saw how absorbed they were in their work.
In retirement, John Hagen was very supportive of his wife, and would do the cooking to give her time for her work.

After returning in 1931 Alice studied pottery under Charles Prescott, who owned a small industrial pottery in Fairview, Nova Scotia.
She obtained a kiln and made a studio in her home.
When Alice Hagen began working in clay in 1931 the craft revival was already underway elsewhere, but in Nova Scotia she was a pioneer of studio pottery.
In 1932 the Hagens moved to Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia.
Alice Hagen launching into a new career as a potter. She exhibited her work and won various awards.
She also taught  a summer school for the Department of Education until around 1950.

A pioneer artist potter, she experimented with local clays and glazes, and with clays from other parts of Canada.
She developed a form of agateware using clays stained green, white and blue, which she called "Scotian Pebble".
She continue to experiment until she was aged 93.
According to Homer Lord, who worked with her for a month and a half in the summer of 1949, she was a very strong china painter but not a strong potter. Her main interest in pottery was decoration of the surfaces, so she often cast rather than threw her pots.
The journalist Kay Hill visited Hagen in 1959 for an interview for the Atlantic Advocate. She said of the house,

John Hagen died in 1964.
Alice Mary Hagen died in January 1972.
The Nova Scotia government received forty-eight pieces of her handpainted china, glass and pottery, which are on display at the Citadel Museum in Halifax.
In 1966 she gave the Mount Saint Vincent Academy many of her works of pottery and painted china.
Her work is held by the Nova Scotia Museum, the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia, the Mahone Bay Museum, and Rideau Hall, Ottawa.

title: Englesea Brook Chapel and Museum

text:
Englesea Brook Chapel and Museum is in the village of Englesea-Brook, Cheshire, England.  Built in 1828, the chapel was one of the earliest chapels of the Primitive Methodist movement, and the Sunday school was added in 1914.  Since 1986 it has been a museum of Primitive Methodism.  The building is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building.  In the chapel is a historic pipe organ.  The museum contains artefacts relating to the movement, and arranges a changing programme of exhibitions and other events.  In the graveyard near the museum is a monument to Hugh Bourne, founder of the movement.

History

The chapel was built in 1828, and is reputed to be the earliest surviving purpose-built chapel for Primitive Methodism.  This movement started with an outdoor meeting in 1807 at Mow Cop organised by Hugh Bourne, and for the following years meetings continued to be held in the open air or in private houses.  Because of their enthusiasm the participants were nicknamed "ranters".  The chapel was altered in 1832, its entrance front dating from this time, when the west gallery was also installed.  The Sunday school was added to the chapel in 1914.  The building was restored in 1986, when it was converted into a museum of Primitive Methodism.

Architecture

The former chapel and school are built in red brick with ashlar dressings.  Both have datestones recording the years of their building.  The chapel has a symmetrical gabled entrance front, having a central doorway with a moulded surround and a fanlight.  This is flanked by a sash window on each side, with similar windows above.  The windows contain 4×4 panes, and have stone sills and wedge lintels.  The datestone is in the gable.  Attached to the right of the chapel is the school.  This is in a single storey, and has a gabled porch.  The chapel is approached by a flight of stone steps, and in front of it is a wall surmounted by cast iron railings.  On 29 January 1979 the chapel and school were designated as a Grade II listed building.

Inside the chapel are box pews dating from 1832, and other furnishings dating mainly from 1892 that include a pulpit and a panelled dais.  Also in the church is the first organ to be used in a Primitive Methodist chapel.  This was originally used in a chapel in Silsden, and was moved from there to a chapel in Bradley in 1850.  The organ was later moved to a private house in Burnley, and was donated to the chapel by its owner.  It was installed in the museum in 1987, and was further restored in 2007.  It is a small pipe organ with a single manual and three stops, and is operated by a foot pump.  In 2004 it was awarded a Grade II Historic Organ Certificate.

Associated structures

Across the road and opposite to the chapel is its graveyard.  In the graveyard is a monument to the movement's founder, Hugh Bourne, who died in 1852.  The monument was designed by John Walford, and is built in ashlar, with an inscription in lead lettering.  The monument consists of a square plinth, with stepped buttresses on the corners that are surmounted by small finials in the form of obelisks.  Standing on the plinth is a larger obelisk, and on the plinth is an inscription recording the life and achievements of Hugh Bourne.  The monument is also designated as a Grade II listed building.

Present day

The museum is under the care of the Methodist Heritage Committee of the Methodist Church of Great Britain and is currently open to visitors on four days a week. A charge is made for members of groups, but not for individual visitors. In the museum is a tea room and a shop, and there is a changing programme of exhibitions. The museum contains a pulpit used by Hugh Bourne and by William Clowes, a fellow founder of the movement, which was originally in a private house in Tunstall. There is also a printing press used by Bourne, and the sea chest he took with him when visiting Canada in 1844 together with a list of its contents.

title: Yakov Slashchov

text:
Within the White Movement of the Russian Civil War of 1917-1923, Yakov Aleksandrovich Slashchov (Russian: Яков Александрович Слащёв; 10 January 1886 – 11 January 1929) was a leading commander of Baron Wrangel's Crimean army who eventually reconciled with  the Soviets and returned from Constantinople to Moscow in 1921. In 1929 he was killed in his Moscow apartment by a Jew named Lazar Kalenberg, apparently in revenge for the execution of Kalenberg's brother.

Slashchov, known among his subordinates as "General Yasha",
joined the Volunteer Army in December 1917 and was appointed Andrei Shkuro's chief of staff in May 1918. He was promoted to the rank of Major General in May 1919, and to that of Lieutenant General in May 1920, and was put in charge of the Crimean-Azov Corps of the Volunteer Army in December 1919. He succeeded in defending the Perekop Isthmus from the Red Army in late December 1919 and prevented the Bolsheviks from  (January to March 1920).

Slashchov and his aide Sharov became notorious for their cruelty against the Jews and for looting the population (often against Wrangel's orders). Slashchov's sometimes bitter criticism of Wrangel's decisions led to his being convicted of insubordination and stripped of his rank. He retired to Constantinople, where he earned his living by gardening before returning to Soviet-ruled Crimea.

Slashov's example proved instrumental in bringing many other retired White Army officers back to Soviet Russia. He published a memoir entitled The Crimea in 1920 (1924) and delivered lectures at the  Vystrel Higher Officers' Courses before he was killed by a man avenging a relative's death. The circumstances leading to his death are disputed. The central character of Mikhail Bulgakov's play  Flight is allegedly based on Slashchov.

The 2014 Huntingdonshire District Council election took place on 22 May 2014 to elect members of Huntingdonshire District Council in Cambridgeshire, England. One third of the council was up for election and the Conservative Party stayed in overall control of the council.

After the election, the composition of the council was:
Conservative 34
UK Independence Party 7
Liberal Democrats 5
Independent 4
Labour 1
Vacant 1

Background
At the last election in 2012 the Conservatives stayed in control of the council with 39 seats, compared to 7 Liberal Democrats, 3 UK Independence Party, 2 independents and 1 for Labour. However, in early 2013 Conservative councillors, Ken Churchill from Little Paxton ward and Bob Farrer from St Neots Eaton Ford, left the Conservatives to become independents and then joined the UK Independence Party in November 2013. Subsequently in January 2014 another Conservative councillor, Colin Hyams of Godmanchester ward, defected to the Liberal Democrats.

The changes meant that before the election the Conservatives had 35 councillors, Liberal Democrats 7, UK Independence Party 5, independents 3, Labour had 1 seat and 1 seat was vacant after the death of the Conservative councillor for Warboys and Bury, John Pethard. 17 of the 52 seats on the council were contested with 5 councillors, Terry Clough, Nick Guyatt, Colin Hyams, Terry Rogers and Alan Williams, standing down at the election.

Election result
The Conservatives stayed in control of the council after winning 11 of the 17 seats contested, but lost 1 seat to the UK Independence Party in Yaxley and Farcet. The UK Independence Party also gained a seat from the Liberal Democrats in Huntingdon East by 34 votes to end the election with 7 councillors. The only other change came in Buckden where independent Terry Hayward won a seat, which had formerly been held by Liberal Democrat William Clough before he stood down at the election. These defeats reduced the Liberal Democrats to 5 seats on the council, but Sarah Conboy did hold Godmanchester for the party after Colin Hyams, who had defected to the Liberal Democrats from the Conservatives earlier in 2014, stood down.

Ward results

By-elections between 2014 and 2015

Warboys and Bury

title: Steve Trimper

text:
Steve Trimper is an American college baseball coach who is currently the head coach for the Stetson Hatters baseball team out of the ASUN Conference. Previously, he served as the head coach at Maine from 2006 to 2016 and Manhattan from 1999 to 2005.  An alumnus of Eastern Connecticut State University, Trimper played baseball there from 1990 to 1992 and was a member of the Warriors' 1990 Division III national championship team.

Coaching career

Assistant coaching
After he graduated from Eastern Connecticut in 1992, Trimper worked for two years as the associate head coach at Division III Wentworth.  His first Division I position came at Vermont, where he served as an assistant under head coach Bill Currier from 1995 to 1998. He also earned his master's degree in administration from the university in 1997.

During the summers of 1996 and 1997, Trimper was the head coach of the Eastern Tides of the New England Collegiate Baseball League.

Manhattan
Trimper replaced Gary Puccio as the head coach at Manhattan prior to the start of the 1999 season. In his seven years as head coach (1999–2005), the Jaspers went 172–174–2.

Manhattan finished with sub-.500 records in Trimper's first three seasons.  In 2002, his fourth, the team went 32–19; it was the school's first 30-win season and first winning season since 1971.  Trimper was named the 2002 MAAC Coach of the Year.  In 2003, the Jaspers finished with a .500 record (26–26), but went 15–10 in the MAAC to qualify for their first postseason appearance under Trimper.  This berth was the first of three consecutive MAAC Tournaments for Manhattan; the team's best showing was a runner-up finish in 2004.

During Trimper's time at Manhattan, two of his players were named MAAC Rookie of the Year: first basemen Chris Gaskin in 2002 and Matt Rizzotti in 2005.  Rizzotti was also named the 2005 MAAC Player of the Year.  Trimper also had two players selected in the MLB Draft: Gaskin and pitcher Mike Parisi, both in 2004.  Parisi later pitched for the St. Louis Cardinals.

Maine
When Maine head coach Paul Kostacopoulos left for Navy after the 2005 season, the school hired Trimper to replace him.  Trimper became the 24th head coach of Maine baseball.

In 2006, Trimper's first season, Maine qualified for the NCAA tournament.  After a 32–20–1 (13–9 AEC) regular season, third baseman Kevin McAvoy was named America East Rookie of the Year, and Maine was seeded third in the America East tournament.  The Black Bears swept through the tournament, defeating Stony Brook, Vermont, and Stony Brook again to win the championship and the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA tournament.  At the Chapel Hill Regional, Maine went 0–2, losing 15–7 to top-seeded North Carolina and 21–19 to third-seeded UNC Wilmington.

The team went 1–2 in the conference tournament in 2007 and missed it in 2008 and 2009. The team had two more major award winners during this stretch: catcher Myckie Lugbauer won the program's second straight America East Rookie of the Year award in 2007, and outfielder Curt Smith was named conference Player of the Year in 2008.

From 2010 to 2014, Maine made five consecutive America East Tournament appearances.  In 2011, it finished second in the conference and made its second NCAA tournament under Trimper.  After a 29–22 regular season, the Black Bears swept through the America East tournament, defeating Binghamton, Stony Brook, and Albany.  Sent to the Chapel Hill Regional as a four-seed for the second tournament in a row, the team went 1–2; it lost its opener to host North Carolina, but eliminated second-seed FIU before being eliminated by James Madison. In 2013, Trimper got his 400th career win, and Maine won the America East's regular season championship before losing to Binghamton in the tournament finals.  The 2013 team won several major awards– Trimper was named America East Coach of the Year, shortstop Michael Fransoso was named Player of the Year, and Tommy Lawrence was named Pitcher of the Year.

Between 2006 and 2013, nine of Trimper's players have been selected in the MLB Draft. The highest selection was pitcher Jeff Gibbs, a ninth-round by the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2012.

Stetson
In December 2016, Trimper was named the head coach for the Stetson Hatters baseball team.
Stetson University Director of Athletics Jeff Altier introduced Steve Trimper as the 23rd head baseball coach in the history of the Hatters baseball program on December 21, 2016, at a news conference in the Hall of Fame room at the Edmunds Center.

Trimper made his second season(2018) at Stetson one to remember after leading the Hatters to a second-place finish in his inaugural run through the ASUN Conference.

In 2018 the Hatters rewrote much of the Stetson Baseball record book. The list of team and individual accomplishments was considerable.
Overall record: 48-11- tied for most wins in a season in program history.
ASUN record: 15-3 (1st place).
ASUN Tournament: 4-0 (Champions).
NCAA DeLand Regional: 3-0 (Champions)- first regional title in program history.

title: Slade Power

text:
Slade Power (foaled 2 April 2009) is an Irish Thoroughbred racehorse. A specialist sprinter, Slade Power won one minor race as a two-year-old in 2011 before winning the Sandy Lane Stakes in England and the Belgrave Stakes in Ireland (both Listed races) in 2012. He emerged as a top-class performer as a four-year-old in 2013, winning the Sapphire Stakes, Phoenix Sprint Stakes and British Champions Sprint Stakes. He was even better in 2014, establishing himself as arguably the leading sprinter in Europe by winning the Greenlands Stakes, Diamond Jubilee Stakes and July Cup.

Background
Slade Power is a bay horse with no white markings bred in Ireland by his owners David and Sabena Power (members of the Power bookmaking family). He was from the first crop of foals sired by Dutch Art a horse who won the Prix Morny and Middle Park Stakes in 2006. Dutch Art's other offspring include Caspar Netscher (Gimcrack Stakes, Mill Reef Stakes), Baccarat (Wokingham Stakes), Producer (Supreme Stakes), Garswood (Lennox Stakes) and Lightning Thunder (runner-up in the 1000 Guineas). Slade Power was the first foal of his dam Girl Power, who won one minor race at Tipperary from seven starts as a three-year-old in 2007.

As a yearling in August 2010 Slade Power was sent to the sales at Doncaster where he was "bought back" for 5000 guineas by the trainer Ed Lynam, acting on behalf of the colt's breeders. He was sent into training with Lynam at Dunshaughlin, County Meath. He has been ridden in all but two of his races by Wayne Lordan.

Racing career

2011: two-year-old season
Slade Power began his racing career in a maiden race at the Curragh Racecourse on 2 May. Starting at odd of 14/1, he finished second, beaten four lengths by Reply, a colt trained by Aidan O'Brien. He did not appear again until December, when he recorded his first success in a six furlong maiden race on the Polytrack surface at Dundalk Stadium. Ridden by Pat Smullen, he took the lead approaching the final furlong and won by one and a half lengths from thirteen opponents at odds of 11/10.

2012: three-year-old season
Slade Power began his three-year-old season in a handicap race over six furlongs at Cork Racecourse on 7 April. Carrying top weight of 131 pounds and ridden by Johnny Murtagh, he took the lead inside the final furlong and won by one and a quarter lengths from Nini Ok. In the following month he started favourite for a race at Dundalk, but was beaten half a length by the filly Ishvanna, to whom he was conceding eight pounds. On  June, Slade Power raced in England for the first time when he contested the Sandy Lane Stakes at Haydock Park Racecourse. He tracked the leaders, moved into second place a furlong out, and took the lead in the closing stages, and won by a neck from Es Que Love, with Lethal Force a length away in third. On his return to Ireland, Slade Power took the Listed Belgrave Stakes at Fairyhouse over six furlongs on soft ground, taking the lead inside the final furlong and winning by half a length from Arctic with the Portland Handicap winner Santo Padre in third and Gordon Lord Byron in fourth. After the race Lynam indicated that the horse would be aimed at the Haydock Sprint Cup and said He is one I am dreaming about and could be very good. I was going to bring him to Newbury yesterday (for the Hackwood Stakes) but I chickened out of it. He seemed to handle the ground well, though Wayne Lordan said he wasn't in love with it." Slade Power did not race again until 20 October, when he was sent to England for the Group Two British Champions Sprint Stakes over six furlongs at Ascot Racecourse. As in many of his races, he started slowly and never looked likely to win, finishing eighth of the fifteen runners behind Maarek. Slade Power sustained a fractured pelvis in the race and, according to Lynam, his life was saved by the treatment administered by the veterinary physician Simon Knapp.

2013: four-year-old season
On his 2013 debut, Slade Power started favourite for the Greenlands Stakes at the Curragh on 25 May, and finished third behind Hitchens and Reply. A month later he started at odds of 10/1 for the Diamond Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot, but after a poor tart he finished seventh, almost six lengths behind the winner Lethal Force. A week later, the colt started 11/4 favourite for the Sapphire Stakes at the Curragh. He recorded his first Group race win, taking the lead 100 yards from the finish and winning by half a length from Russian Soul. Slade Power started a 16/1 outsider for the Group One July Cup at Newmarket Racecourse. He finished third behind Lethal Force and Society Rock, with the South African champion Shea Shea in fourth and Sole Power in fifth. In August the colt ran in the Group Three Phoenix Sprint Stakes at the Curragh in which he started 2/1 second favourite behind the Aidan O'Brien-trained Sea Siren, an Australian-bred mare whose wins included the Manikato Stakes. Slade Power took the lead approaching the final furlong and won by one and a half lengths from Hamza, with Sea Siren in third. Twelve days later, he ran in the Nunthorpe Stakes at York Racecourse but never recovered from a poor start and finished fifteenth of the seventeen runners behind the 40/1 outsider Jwala.

On his next appearance, Slade Power started at odds of 9/1 for the Group One Haydock Sprint Cup on 7 September with Lethal Force heading the betting at 5/2. He was always travelling well and although he had no chance with the winner Gordon Lord Byron, he finished second, beaten three lengths. On 19 October, Slade Power made his second attempt to win the British Champions Sprint Stakes at Ascot. Racing on soft ground, he started the 7/1 fourth choice in the betting behind Maarek, Viztoria (Park Stakes) and Jack Dexter (Chipchase Stakes). He tracked the leaders before taking the lead two furlongs from the finish and held on in the closing stages to win by a neck from Jack Dexter. Following the race, Lynam said I was seriously concerned about the ground for him but Wayne said his class got him through it. He was pulling up a long way out and when he got to the front he was looking about". Slade Power ended his season in the Hong Kong Sprint on 8 December. He started slowly and was never in contention, finishing tenth of the fourteen runners, eight lengths behind the Japanese champion Lord Kanaloa.

2014: five-year-old season
On his first appearance of 2014, Slade Power was matched against Maarek (who had won the Prix de l'Abbaye in October 2013), in the Greenlands Stakes on 24 May. Starting the 5/2 second favourite, he took the lead a furlong from the finish and drew away in the closing stages to win by two lengths from Maarek. On 21 June 2014, Slade Power started the 7/2 favourite for the Diamond Jubilee Stakes on firm ground at Ascot, four days after his stable companion, Sole Power had won the King's Stand Stakes for the second time. His rival included Aljamaaheer (Summer Mile Stakes), American Devil (Prix du Palais-Royal), Astaire (Middle Park Stakes), Tropics (Bengough Stakes), Montiridge (Thoroughbred Stakes)Gordon Lord Byron, Es Que Love and Jack Dexter. The field split into two groups, with Slade Power tracking the leaders on the far side (the right side from the jockeys' viewpoint) before taking the lead approaching the final furlong. In the closing stages he hung left towards the centre of the course but won by one and a half lengths from the Aidan O'Brien-trained three-year-old Due Diligence. After the race, Lynam explained that he had had no doubts about the horse's ability to cope with the fast ground until the day of the race, saying "I never had any issues about the ground but when I read all the clever guys and watched The Morning Line, I started to question it. Nothing wrong with the ground. He just pulls up in front. He's always done that. But it's daunting here. He's used to looking up at one man and his dog in the mornings and 70,000 people roaring at him today".

On 12 July, Slade Power started the 7/4 favourite for the July Cup at Newmarket. He was reopposed by Astaire, Aljamaaheer, Jack Dexter and Tropics, whilst the field also included Gregorian (Diomed Stakes, Hungerford Stakes, Criterion Stakes), the Spanish colt Noozhoh Canarias, and the American-trained gelding Undrafted. As at Ascot, the field split into two groups and Lordan positioned Slade Power just behind the leaders of far side group (the left side from the jockeys' viewpoint). He took the lead a furlong out and won by a length and a half from the 66/1 outsider Tropics, with Gregorian, who raced on the opposite side of the course, taking third ahead of Undrafted. After the race, Lynam named the Darley Classic in Australia as the horse's end of season objective, with the Haydock Sprint Cup as a possible interim target. He said "if he retires to stud as champion European sprinter, it's fine but let's give him the chance to be champion world sprinter. Let's bring him to where they have the best sprinters in the world and hopefully kick their ass... I’m looking forward to running him in Melbourne. He's got to beat Lankan Rupee, who's the exceptional sprinter over there". Commenting on the fact that the horse had sweated badly before the race, David Power said "that was never a concern. It would be a concern if he didn't sweat up. It's part of his nature... We always said this horse needed time and this was always going to be his year"
Slade Power made his final racecourse appearance in the Darley Classic but was unplaced, finishing eleventh of the thirteen runners behind Terravista.
