Draft

analogy with electrical charge

electrical charge -> color charge (sometimes color number)
electromagnetic force -> color force
charged particules -> quarks & gluons
exchange of photon -> exchange of gluons (difference: gluons are also 'color' charged)

description

No physical relation with electromagnetic spectrum, just a name for a three-valued property

Introduced to allow three quarks to coexist and still satisfy the Pauli exclusion principle -> new quantum state.

color force => force which bind quarks together to forms hadrons, the strong nuclear force => sort of residual of the color force which bind baryons together.

Six kind: 'red, 'green', 'blue' & 'anti-red', 'anti-green' & 'anti-blue'

Hadrons = particules which contains quarks leptons = doesn't conatins quarks, so are always color-neutral

All observed particules are always color neutral.

when interacting, gluons & quarks must change of color resulting must be color neutral example: quark(red) -> quark(blue) + gluons(red, anti-blue). => conservation of color charge

Mathematic of color charge: SU(3)

Only 8 sort of gluons: ...

Estrogen Therapy In Younger Postmenopausal Women Linked To Less Plaque
New results from a substudy of the Women's Health Initiative Estrogen-Alone Trial show that younger postmenopausal women who take estrogen-alone hormone therapy have significantly less buildup of calcium plaque in their arteries compared to their peers who did not take hormone therapy.

British Transport Police: Crime on the Lines
Descriptions of notable crimes in the history of the British Transport Police, such as railway murders, the Great Gold Robbery (1855), and the Great Train Robbery (1963). Also includes articles about Sherlock Holmes and the railways and about Jack the Ripper, and a gallery of criminals. From the British Transport Police, the UK police force for the railways.

Privatization Strategy
Privatization is the process by which "businesses or assets are transferred from the public to the private sector."The "papers and links gathered here deal with the objectives, experiences and designs of privatization. They also discuss implementation issues, such as methods of sale and the management of privatization revenues. Finally, special attention is given to working with stakeholders during the privatization process, particularly on handling labor adjustment and communicating policy."From the World Bank.
