He gave the Putin regime a much-needed propaganda victory.
Both the United States and British governments issued statements today on the nerve gas attack carried out in Salisbury, England against Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia Skripal. The elder Skripal is a former Russian intelligence officer who spied for Britain and later moved to the UK as part of a spy exchange. The agent used was developed by the Russian military and left both Skripals and a policeman who helped them in critical condition.
Speaking for an irate Parliament, Prime Minister Theresa May said the attack was typical of "Russia's record of conducting state-sponsored assassinations" and that "Russia views some defectors as legitimate targets for assassinations." She said that "This was not just a crime against the Skripals, it was an indiscriminate and reckless act against the United Kingdom, putting the lives of innocent civilians at risk."
By contrast, the Trump administration went out of its way to avoid specifically accusing the Putin regime of having carried out the murder. At today's press briefing, Sarah Huckabee Sanders expressed sympathy for the victims of the nerve gas attack but ignored a question about whether the United States agreed with Britain's assessment that Russia was behind it. Repeated follow-up attempts to get her to address the question of Russia's culpability were no more successful.
Q: So you're not saying that Russia was behind this act?
SANDERS: Right now, we are standing with our UK ally. I think they're still working through even some of the details of that. And we're going to continue to work with the UK, and we certainly stand with them throughout this process.
Q: Theresa May said it was either Russia using it themselves or that it had given its chemical weapons to a third party to murder a British citizen, the latter being highly unlikely, given the nature of this weapon. So —
MS. SANDERS: Like I just said, Zeke, we stand with our ally.
Russian media immediately seized on the Trump administration's refusal to blame Russia for the attack as evidence of its innocence.
Later in the day, after the Trump Administration's failure to support the British government became a diplomatic problem in and of itself, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson issued a different statement in which he promised "a response," although no details about the nature of that response were given. (UPDATE, 3/13: it now seems likely that making such a direct statement against the Putin regime is part of why Trump so abruptly fired Tillerson this morning.)
To date, Trump has refused to impose legally mandated sanctions on Russia for its attack on the integrity the 2016 elections.
A president who cannot bring himself to speak out against an attack on a close military ally is unfit for office.
A president who can't bring himself to ever speak out against a particular hostile foreign power is either compromised or fatally weak.

Q: git checkout master error: the following untracked working tree files would be overwritten by checkout I have a git repository. It has A B C D E ... commits. Now I want to checkout D as a new branch named Dbranch. So I excute:git checkout D -b Dbranch. And now I want to delete this branch. Firstly I need to switch to master branch , and then use git branch -d Dbranch to delete it. But when I excute git checkout master, it gives me the error.
error: The following untracked working tree files would be overwritten by checkout:
    source/a/foo.c
        ...... (too many lines)
Please move or remove them before you can switch branches.
Aborting

How to delete the Dbranch?

A: With Git 2.23 (August 2019), that would be, using git switch -f:
git switch -f master

That avoids the confusion with git checkout (which deals with files or branches).
This command will proceed, even if the index or the working tree differs from HEAD.
Both the index and working tree are restored to match the switching target.
If --recurse-submodules is specified, submodule content is also restored to match the switching target.
This is used to throw away local changes.

A: Try git checkout -f master.
-f or --force
Source: https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-checkout.html

When switching branches, proceed even if the index or the working tree differs from HEAD. This is used to throw away local changes.
When checking out paths from the index, do not fail upon unmerged entries; instead, unmerged entries are ignored.

A: do a :
git branch

if git show you something like :
* (no branch)
master
Dbranch

You have a "detached HEAD".
If you have modify some files on this branch you, commit them, then return to master with
git checkout master

Now you should be able to delete the Dbranch.

The Secret Agent, BBC One
Joseph Conrad swamped in melodrama and turgid music
by Adam SweetingMonday, 18 July 2016
Anarchy in the UK: Toby Jones as Verloc
Based on an abortive real-life attempt to blow up the Royal Observatory in Greenwich in 1894, Joseph Conrad's novel The Secret Agent has sometimes been held up as a harbinger of the kind of terrorist attacks the world has been subjected to by the likes of Baader-Meinhof, Al Qaeda and Isis. Doubtless this was part of the BBC's motivation for making this new three-part dramatisation.
However, any real-world resonances weren't assisted by the sluggish pace and melodramatic air of the piece, and Tony Marchant's screenplay didn't give a high-quality cast much to chew on. In the leading role of Verloc, an informer secretly in the employ of the Russian embassy, Toby Jones trowelled on so many layers of seediness, shabbiness and self-loathing that the character almost disappeared altogether, his speaking voice a wheezy mumble reminiscent of a leaking cistern. As his wife Winnie, helping him to run his squalid pornography shop in Soho, Vicky McClure was required to supply little more than monotonous world-weariness. As her mentally impaired brother Stevie (destined for a catastrophic central role in forthcoming episodes), Charlie Hamblett was merely exasperating.
There was superior amusement to be had from the forces of officialdom and law and order. As the splendidly named Inspector Heat, whose chief concern is keeping tabs on the assorted anarchists and bomb-happy crazies inhabiting London in the early 1900s, Stephen Graham delivered muscular doses of Scouse chippiness. That said, his response to the revelation that The Professor (a wild-eyed Ian Hart, pictured above with Graham) habitually strolled around the metropolis with a bomb under his coat, ready to detonate it at a moment's notice, seemed astonishingly low key (something along the lines of "perhaps we ought to keep a closer eye on him in future").
My favourite performance came from David Dawson as Vladimir, Verloc's new boss at the Russian embassy (pictured below). "He really is a fat pig" he snorted scornfully, as Verloc paid his first visit to him in his palatial office, but he said it in Russian so Verloc didn't understand what everyone was laughing at.
Then he got to the point. Verloc's previous low-key efforts at delivering information about London-based anarchists were no longer adequate. Henceforth the miserable functionary would be required to perform decisive interventions. In fact (Vladimir informed him, his lip curling into an icy sneer) he would organise the detonation of a device at the Greenwich Observatory, in a symbolic assault on modernistic ideas of progress and scientific advancement. The ideological reasoning behind Vladimir's sinister plan was to shock the complacent British, with their "sentimental regard for individual liberty" and nauseating bien-pensant support for terrorist criminals (from the likes of the patronising Lady Blackwood), into a repressive backlash with concomitant illiberal legislation. Mr Putin might perhaps approve.
We shall see what we shall see, but it's all doomed to be saturated in ominous music which tells us what we're supposed to be feeling and when, since the script and the actors clearly can't be trusted to convey the message. One has to wonder whether television is really the medium for Conrad's oblique and ironic writing, with its knotty abstractions and complexities.

It's no secret: America's highways can be a dangerous place at times, even in the best of conditions. That's why you have to be cautious on the open road – smart, alert and always vigilant. But how about when you're not driving? Are you protecting yourself and your personal information?
Most drivers travel with laptop computers or tablets now, and smart phones are almost universal – great business tools, all of them. They help you stay connected and are excellent sources of information and entertainment.
When not using a device's Bluetooth capability, turn the feature off. This will extend battery life and shut down one possible entry point for cyber criminals.
Limit use of public, password-free Wi-Fi systems for online banking or checking personal sites. Most experts consider cellular networks – AT&T, Sprint, Verizon, etc. – more secure than public Wi-Fi. Think about investing in a mobile hotspot or a smartphone that can "tether" to your device for a faster, more-secure internet connection.
Stay current on software updates. This will help protect your device, and your information, from known weaknesses in the software.
Websites for financial transactions are mostly secure and encrypted. Check the web address. If it begins with the letters "https," that's good. It stands for "Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure." Be careful with personal information on websites where the address only begins with "http".
Passwords are a hassle, but a necessary evil. Use them. And make sure your computer, tablet or smartphone is programmed to "lock" after a minute or two of being idle.
Use a simple, non-descript carrying case for your equipment. Thieves often prey on expensive luggage. A high-end computer case – looks good, feel great – is often a bull's eye for a thief.
And that strange email from your cousin, the one with the "you won't believe this" link? You're smarter than that. Don't click it. Delete it!

AWR and Friends of the Wild Swan Filed Lawsuit Against U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service and the Department of Interior, Challenging Habitat Designations for the Threatened Bull Trout in it's 5-State Range
Jan 6, 2006 | AWR, fish
Michael Garrity, Alliance for the Wild Rockies, (406) 459-5936
Arlene Montgomery, Friends of the Wild Swan, (406) 886-2011
Alliance for the Wild Rockies and Friends of the Wild Swan conservation organizations filed a formal lawsuit against the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (FWS) and the Department of the Interior late Thursday in U.S. Federal Court in Portland, Oregon. The Montana-based groups are challenging the final critical habitat designations for the Threatened Bull Trout in its five-state range.
The organizations object to the blanket reductions that cut the final critical habitat designations by approximately 82% from what was proposed by the agency's professional field biologists. The proposed critical habitat covered more than 20,000 miles of rivers and streams and over a half million acres of lakes and reservoirs in Montana, Idaho, Washington, Oregon and Nevada. The final designations encompass just 3,828 miles of streams and 143,218 acres of lakes and zero acres of reservoirs.
Bull trout are a wide-ranging fish that spawn in mountain streams then migrate to rivers, lakes or the ocean to mature and grow. At around age five they return to the stream where they were born to spawn. Unlike salmon bull trout survive spawning and make this journey several times during their life. This migratory life form is essential to the long-term survival of the species because it ensures that in the case of a catastrophic event, such as fire, in their natal stream there are always more fish to repopulate it.
"They ignored well-documented science in this final designation," said Arlene Montgomery, Program Director of Friends of the Wild Swan. "The best chance that bull trout have for survival and recovery is to ensure that these fish can migrate, this rule does not provide that connectivity."
The Fish and Wildlife Service also relied on a biased economic analysis that only considered the costs of critical habitat designation and totally ignored the benefits of cleaner drinking water, healthier populations and increased recreational opportunities. The FWS actually cut a 56-page section analyzing these benefits from their report in order to stack the deck against bull trout conservation.
"Recovery and eventual delisting cannot occur without a good critical habitat designation. We think it would be great to stand on the banks and catch 20 pound fish in a clean river – apparently this administration does not believe so." said Michael Garrity, Executive Director of Alliance for the Wild Rockies. "The Fish and Wildlife Service has ignored their own scientists, gutted the economic analysis and thumbed their nose at federal court rulings. Further delay could cause extinction of bull
trout."
Garrity said, "Bull trout are excellent indicators of water quality because they need cold, clean water and streambeds with little fine sediment. Protecting and restoring bull trout habitat also protects water quality providing benefits for fish and people."

Cape Horn for his Birthday
For more than 24 hours, Gitana 13's crew has been focusing more on surviving than on sailing. Off the coast of Tierra del Fuego, the maxi-catamaran equipped by Baron Benjamin de Rothschild experienced blustery conditions as it was hit by two successive cold fronts.
Lionel Lemonchois and his nine-man crew are beating to windward, slowly making their way to the tip of South America which they hope to round this evening. After 16 days at sea, the ten sailors onboard Gitana 13 had their first day of rough weather yesterday. Sailing close-hauled into a wind blowing at 40-45 knots in rough seas—3-4-meter swells—the maxi-catamaran had to force its way forward toward Lemaire Channel. "The past day was really tough! We had gusts up to 50 knots, and on deck the crew had to drop the mainsail. We plugged along at around 10 knots flying only the staysail...it was really blowing out there. The wind calmed a bit at the end of the day, falling to 30-35 knots. Gitana 13 was then flying the main alone with 3 reefs, under a beautiful cloudy sky," said Dominic Vittet.
It looks as though conditions will also be blustery in the channel separating Staten Island from Tierra del Fuego. Even though the wind has eased to around 25 knots, Lemonchois and his crew will have to deal with rough seas pushing 7-meter swells. "After Lemaire Channel, we should be able to make it the rest of the way to the Horn on a reach. We don't have any time to lose, because the window that we're targeting to make the rounding this evening is narrow. We're going to try to slip through a mouse hole," said Vittet, the onboard navigator. Renowned for its western storms that can crop up daily, Cape Horn is never an easy obstacle to surmount, particularly when doing it against the grain, i.e., against the prevailing westerly winds and the big swells from the Pacific that roll freely through this southern latitude.
While the crew prepares and hopes to round the famous South American promontory this evening, Gitana 13's skipper is celebrating his birthday today. Making this legendary rounding would sure be a great gift for a sailor.
You have to earn Cape Horn
Historically, sailing crews hired to make this passage between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans needed equal parts courage and stubbornness. In the early years of the 20th century, two stories of attempts at rounding Cape Horn show the difficulty of this exercise.
In 1904, American four-masted "Edward Sewall" encountered such bad weather that it took nearly three months, from March to May, to get past the "rock." Five years later, the three-masted "La Rochejaquelein" from Nantes spent more than two months getting past the Chilean cape. But it wasn't rare at the time that sailboats, meeting persistently bad weather, turned back and opted for the round-the-world route to San Francisco via the Indian Ocean.
For seven of the ten crewmembers onboard Gitana 13, this rounding of Cape Horn will be their first. Lionel Lemonchois, Nicolas Raynaud and Florent Chastel had the good fortune of rounding the Horn during past record attempts on the Jules Verne Trophy. None of the other crew has ever ventured to 55°56 S before. But of the three Cape Horners onboard, only Lemonchois has ever done this rounding from east to west. He did this same route from New York to San Francisco in 1994 and 1998 with Isabelle Autissier and her crew.

Wildflower Turf Ltd endorsed by Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew
Wednesday 25 September 2019 PDF Print
As of 1st September 2019, renowned UK wildflower specialists Wildflower Turf Ltd, have been endorsed by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.
The partnership is a fitting recognition of a family-run business that continues to lead the way in the creation of biodiverse wildflower environments.
Based in Hampshire and with a second growing site in Yorkshire, Wildflower Turf Ltd originally began their association with Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew in 2016.
At the request of the Head of the Arboretum at Kew, Wildflower Turf Ltd grew and supplied a wildflower meadow that was installed alongside Kew Garden's magnificent Hive installation. The wildflower meadow contributed to an immersive visitor experience and helped to highlight the importance of bees as pollinators for our food sources.

Alongside well-recognised brands such as Wildflower Turf® the business also develops bespoke wildflower mixes for a range of customers and was a key supplier to the London 2012 Olympics.
Managing Director of Wildflower Turf Ltd, James Hewetson -Brown said, "We are delighted to be aligned with the globally recognised institution that is the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. Both organisations strive to represent the best in environmental improvement, conservation, knowledge and aesthetics and we look forward to a long and continuing association."
Tony Kirkham, Head of the Arboretum, Gardens, and Horticultural Services at Kew said: "It's fantastic to be able to endorse Wildflower Turf. Our first collaboration on the lush and vibrant meadow around the Hive saw us partner together to bring to life a visual representation of the importance of pollinators. It was an outstanding success, and I am looking forward to a continuing relationship".

Q: Maximum time-to-live (TTL) of WNS push service? I'm currently testing some examples of web push, and I have a question about WNS push service.
As far as I know, when I request to send a push event to push services, I can specify required TTL at request header. If TTL exceeds push services own limit, they adjust the TTL and respond with actual TTL they applied.
So, I expect if I put pretty large number for TTL, such as 1234567890, the response would tell me the maximum TTL of each push service.
But only mozilla push service responds with maximum TTL, which is "ttl": "5184000" and others like FCM, WNS didn't respond with adjusted TTL.
I tried to find maximum TTL of FCM and WNS on the docs, and it seems FCM's maximum TTL is 28 days. But I couldn't find WNS's maximum TTL.
Does anyone knows what is the maximum TTL of WNS push service?
This is simplified test code I'm currently using. (js)
const webpush = require("web-push");
webpush
  .sendNotification(subscription, "TTL test", {
    TTL: 1234567890,
  })
  .then((res) => console.log(`${JSON.stringify(res)}`))
  .catch((res) => {
    console.log(`${JSON.stringify(res)}`);
  });

Recent genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified multiple common genetic risk variants for breast cancer among women of Asian and European ancestry. Investigating these genetic susceptibility loci in other populations would be helpful to evaluate the generalizability of the findings and identify the causal variants for breast cancer. We evaluated 11 GWAS-identified genetic susceptibility loci for breast cancer in a study including 2,594 African-American women (810 cases and 1,784 controls). Two single-nucleotide polymorphisms, rs13387042 (2q35) and rs1219648 (FGFR2 gene), were found to be associated with breast cancer risk. Risk increased nearly linearly with the number of affected risk alleles, with a 2-fold elevated risk for women homozygous for the risk alleles in both single-nucleotide polymorphisms. No additional significant associations, however, were identified for the other nine loci evaluated in the study. The results from this study extend some of the recent GWAS findings to African-Americans and may guide future efforts to identify the causal variants for breast cancer. (Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev 2009;18(10):2761–4)
African-American women
Recent genome-wide association studies (GWAS) conducted among Chinese women (1) or women of European ancestry have identified multiple single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) associated with breast cancer risk (2–6). It is unclear, however, whether these genetic variants may also be associated with breast cancer risk among African-American women whose genetic architecture differs considerably from other ethnic groups. In this review, we evaluated 11 GWAS-identified loci in relation to breast cancer risk in African-American women using data from two ongoing studies, the Southern Community Cohort Study (SCCS) and the Nashville Breast Health Study (NBHS).
The SCCS is a prospective cohort study initiated in 2002 focusing on investigating racial disparities in cancer risk (7). Included in the current project were 527 women that reported having a prior breast cancer diagnosis and provided a blood or buccal cell sample at the baseline interview. Controls (n = 1,054) were selected randomly from those who were cancer-free at baseline and frequency-matched to cases in a 2:1 ratio on age at enrollment (±1 y), recruitment method, and sample type (blood/buccal cell). The NBHS, a population-based case-control study (1), provided additional subjects to the current project. Incident breast cancer cases were identified through the Tennessee State Cancer Registry and a network of major hospitals that provide medical care for patients with breast cancer. Controls were identified via random digit dialing of households in the same geographic area as cases and frequency-matched to cases on age (5-y group). Included in the current project were 291 cases and 178 controls that provided buccal cell samples. To increase the statistical power of the study, additional controls (n = 564) were randomly selected from cancer-free SCCS participants and frequency-matched to NBHS cases by age (±1 y), family income, and education. In total, 810 cases and 1,784 controls from the SCCS and NBHS were included in the current study after excluding subjects whose DNA samples were limited.
In addition to the 12 SNPs initially reported from GWAS (Table 1), 20 additional SNPs were selected to tag all common SNPs (minor allele frequency, ≥5%) in a ±50 kb region flanking each of the initially reported SNPs. These common SNPs were identified from the HapMap data (release 24) that are in high linkage disequilibrium (r2 ≥ 0.8) with each of the initially reported SNPs in Chinese (for rs2046210) or European descendants (for all other SNPs) but not in Africans (r2 < 0.8). For the FGFR2 gene, two additional SNPs (rs2981578 and rs7895676) were considered, as these SNPs were reported to be potentially functional (8). SNP rs7895676, however, was found to be nonpolymorphic and was excluded from the analysis. No tagging SNPs were found for 5p12/MRPS30, 11p15.5/LSP1, and 16q12.1/TOX3 (1) loci that meet the abovementioned criteria. All 33 SNPs were successfully genotyped.
Summary of genetic susceptibility loci of breast cancer reported from previous GWAS conducted in Chinese or European descendants
To adjust for population stratification, we selected the top 30 SNPs from 276 ancestry-informative markers that were previously genotyped in 2,552 participants from the SCCS. These 30 SNPs show the largest difference in allele frequency between European and African descendants and correctly classified 98.7% of the participants in the previous study (data not yet published). Twenty-eight of these SNPs were successfully genotyped, and population structure was estimated using the principal component method (9).
With the exception of five SNPs (rs2981578, rs6929137, rs851974, rs8051542, and rs7895676) that were genotyped using TaqMan assays, all other SNPs were genotyped using Sequenom. Quality control samples were included and showed 99.5% to 100% concordance rates.
Logistic regression models were used to estimate odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) associated with each of the 33 SNPs in the 11 previously reported loci adjusting for age, education, study (SCCS or NBHS), and the first four principal components defined by the 28 ancestry-informative markers.
Of the 33 SNPs, only rs13281615 (8q24.21) and rs12598982 (16q12.1) were found to deviate from the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium at P ≤ 0.05. Significant associations (P < 0.05) with breast cancer risk were found for rs13387042 (2q35, P= 0.02) and rs1219648 (FGFR2 gene, P = 0.004; Table 2). The pattern of the association for these two SNPs tended to be consistent in the SCCS and NBHS, although some of the study-specific point estimates were not statistically significant (Table 3). To evaluate the combined effect of these two SNPs, a genetic score was constructed by counting the number of risk alleles each woman carries. A dose-response association was observed between the number of risk alleles and risk of breast cancer (P for trend, 0.004), with a 1.2-fold increase per risk allele and a 2-fold elevated risk observed for women homozygous for the risk alleles in both SNPs (Table 3). Having one or more risk alleles of these two SNPs was associated with a population-attributable risk of 37.9%.
Association of breast cancer risk among African-American women with genetic susceptibility loci identified from previous GWAS
Breast cancer risk associated with two SNPs in African-American women by study and by number of risk alleles
To our knowledge, this is the first study in African-Americans that has systematically evaluated breast cancer susceptibility loci recently identified through GWAS. Results from our study are helpful to assess the generalizability of previously identified associations and guide fine-mapping efforts to search for causal variants. Of the 33 SNPs evaluated, 12 SNPs reported from previous GWAS and 21 tagging SNPs, only 2, in two different loci, were found to be significantly associated with breast cancer risk. This finding perhaps is not surprising, given the large difference in genetic architecture between African-Americans and women of Chinese or European descent.
Similar to our study, a significant association between SNPs in the FGFR2 gene and breast cancer risk was also reported from a recent study conducted in 1,250 cases and 1,245 controls of African descent (10). On the other hand, rs3803662 at 16q12.1 was not found to be associated with breast cancer risk in our study, whereas a significant association was identified in the study by Stacey et al. involving 422 cases and 447 controls of African-Americans with an association in the opposite direction of that seen in other ethnic groups (6). The reasons for this inconsistency are unknown, and the sample sizes for both studies were small.
In an attempt to explore the region surrounding previously reported susceptibility loci, for each locus, we evaluated all SNPs in a 100 kb region that are in strong linkage disequilibrium with the initially reported SNPs in subjects of Chinese (for rs2046210) or European descent (for all other SNPs), but not in Africans. None of these SNPs, however, were found to be associated with breast cancer in African-American women, indicating that these SNPs are neither causal variants nor in linkage disequilibrium with causal variants in African-Americans. Additional fine-mapping work in a larger region with more extensive coverage is needed to identify SNPs in these loci for breast cancer risk in African-American women.
The sample size of the study was not large. With the exception of a few SNPs, most of the SNPs evaluated in the study had a minor allele frequency of 0.2 or higher. It is estimated that the study had 80% statistical power to identify SNPs with a minor allele frequency of ≥20% and an allelic OR of ≥1.22 at a significance level of 0.05. Therefore, it is possible that some of the null associations observed in this study could be due to the inadequate statistical power to identify a weak association. Another possible limitation of the study is that patients with prevalent cancer were included in the SCCS. As reported recently, however, these variants were not associated with breast cancer survival (11), and thus, including prevalent cases is unlikely to introduce bias. Indeed, the results from the SCCS (prevalent cases) and NBHS (incident cases) were generally consistent.
The results from this study show the complexity of uniformly applying GWAS findings across ancestral groups. Large-scale studies are needed to identify genetic risk variants for breast cancer in this understudied African-American population.

Q: Origin of lepton/quark generations? What theoretical explanations exist for the fact that there are three generations of leptons and quarks?
I'm not so much asking why there are exactly 3 generations, but rather what makes electron, muon and tau differ. Also, since the three families of quarks don't have to be a priori related to the three families of leptons, I'm interested in answers for either quarks, leptons, or both.

A: here is another argument (disclaimer: I'm an experimentalist):
e.g. Wikipedia states that:

"Direct" CP violation is allowed in the Standard Model if a complex phase appears in the CKM matrix describing quark mixing, or the PMNS matrix describing neutrino mixing. In such a scheme, a necessary condition for the appearance of the complex phase, and thus for CP violation, is the presence of at least three generations of quarks.

the same article also says further down:

The universe is made chiefly of matter, rather than consisting of equal parts of matter and antimatter as might be expected. It can be demonstrated that, to create an imbalance in matter and antimatter from an initial condition of balance, the Sakharov conditions must be satisfied, one of which is the existence of CP violation during the extreme conditions of the first seconds after the Big Bang. Explanations which do not involve CP violation are less plausible, since they rely on the assumption that the matter–antimatter imbalance was present at the beginning, or on other admittedly exotic assumptions.
The Big Bang should have produced equal amounts of matter and antimatter if CP-symmetry was preserved; as such, there should have been total cancellation of both—protons should have cancelled with antiprotons, electrons with positrons, neutrons with antineutrons, and so on. This would have resulted in a sea of radiation in the universe with no matter.

In other words, if there were less than three generations of quarks (unless the initial state of the universe had a matter/anti-matter asymmetry), there would be no matter and we ultimately wouldn't be able to discuss this topic here...

A: Here is an experimentalist's answer:
The Standard Model of particle physics is not a theoretical invention, it is a laboriously built up compilation of the quantum number behavior in interactions of elementary particles. So it is an experimental fact.
It first started with SU(2) groups and one found that the symmetries fitted the baryon nomenclature for proton and neutron in nuclear physics to start with, allowing for theoretical potential models to be built up for the nuclear force.
Then came the high energy experiments in accelerators that gave a plethora of particles with well recorded quantum numbers organized by  theorists in assuming SU(3)xSU(2)xU(1) symmetry for the groups describing all the symmetries of the particles and the way they interacted with each other. Again, these are data measured, describing Nature.
These group symmetries do not have separate masses for each particle. In the structure they could all have zero mass. So theories came up which proposed that there is symmetry breaking down in the low energies and if one goes to high enough energies everything is massless. Theories evolved to describe the symmetries and explain the data.
An example are Grand Unified Theories:

A GUT model basically consists of a gauge group which is a compact Lie group, a connection form for that Lie group, a Yang-Mills action for that connection given by an invariant symmetric bilinear form over its Lie algebra (which is specified by a coupling constant for each factor), a Higgs sector consisting of a number of scalar fields taking on values within real/complex representations of the Lie group and chiral Weyl fermions taking on values within a complex rep of the Lie group. The Lie group contains the Standard Model group and the Higgs fields acquire VEVs leading to a spontaneous symmetry breaking to the Standard Model. The Weyl fermions represent matter.

Recent theories that embed the Standard Model and the workings of GUT are String Theories.
So the three generations come from quantum number classifications of data and the theories explaining the observations have  spontaneous symmetry breaking at low energies, and   the the masses differentiate between generations by the mediation of the Higgs field.

A: We don't have a good explanation for why the quarks and leptons fall into generations.  But we have some very strong arguments that it has to be this way, because of the way the weak interactions behave.
First, the weak interactions tell us that each lepton should be paired with a neutrino, and that each charge 2/3 quark should be paired with a charge -1/3 quark.  This pairing is necessary just to write down the Lagrangian for the weak interactions.
The second bit is even weirder.  The weak interactions are chiral; they don't treat left-handed particles in the same way that they treat right-handed particles.  Quantum chiral gauge theories, like the SU(2) x U(1) gauge theory describing the electroweak interactions, are somewhat delicate beasts.  Most classical chiral gauge theories can not be quantized; quantum mechanical effects give rise to anomalous gauge symmetry breaking, which ruin the consistency of the theory.
In the case of the Glashow-Weinberg-Salam model, there's a consistency condition for avoiding anomalies:  3 times the sum of the charges in a quark doublet + the sum of the charges in a lepton doublet must equal zero.  This condition is satisfied by the Standard Model particles:  3(2/3 - 1/3) + (0 - 1) = 0.  Which tells us that the quark and lepton doublets in a generation really are paired in a non-trivial way.  If they weren't paired up, the theory would most likely be inconsistent.

A: I can think some speculative or unorthodox answers, and sure others can do, so please allow me to mark this answer as Community Wiki:

*

*three generations make a nice number of degrees of freedom for a GUT model.  Assuming that the neutrinos have companions of the other chirality, one generation has 36 degrees of freedom. With this, the MSSM happens to have 128+128 degrees of freedom, and any more minimal SUSY model should still have at least 126+126, because the massive supermultiplets for Z (and W+, W-) contain one scalar partner. Thus 96 squarks and sleptons plus 8 gluons (x2 states) plus Z W W electroweak bosons (x 3) plus photon (x 2) plus three scalars = 96+16+9+2+3= 126.

*Hand waving arguments with octonions have been always around, and according an answer of Joel in the duplicated question, they could have been already in 1966! Modern work along this line has been done by Cohl Furey http://arxiv.org/abs/1405.4601

*Nicolai continuation http://arxiv.org/abs/1412.1715 of a model of Gell-mann involvess two tecniques to fix the number of generations: representations of SO(8) and a colour-flavour locking.

*Frampton suggests anomaly cancelation in a 331 model http://arxiv.org/abs/1504.05877

Q: Searching for name using JavaScript When I type G in the field and it filters out all the names whose names contain g in any part of their name. I want only to filter which starts with G. To sort this, i added something like this.
patientSearchResult[i].LastName.toUpperCase().charAt(0)

But now when i type Gr. i don't get Greg's result... why?

A: You could use a regular expression coupled with an array filter for this. Try this:
var patients = [
    "Greg",
    "Anna",
    "Slartibartfarst"
    ];

var input = "Gr";
var re = new RegExp(input+'.+$', 'i');
patients = patients.filter(function(e, i, a){
    return e.search(re) != -1;
});
console.log(patients);

http://jsfiddle.net/2R44X/

A: charAt returns just the character at the specified index.
You could use patientSearchResult[i].LastName.toUpperCase().substr(0,2) where 2 should be replaqced with the length of the string you're searching for.

A: For a more generic solution, you could use Array.filter with regexp searches to make query functions:
var patientRecord = [
        {firstname: 'Bob',lastname: 'Grown'},
        {firstname: 'Alexa',lastname: 'Ace'},
        {firstname: 'Chris',lastname: 'Green'}
    ];

var makeQuery = function(property, regexp) {
        // return a callback function for filter, see MDC docs for Array.filter
        return function(elem, index, array) {
            return elem[property].search(regexp) !== -1;
        };
    };

var q = makeQuery('lastname', /^g/i); // ^ = from beginning, i = "ignore case"

patientRecord.filter(q);

Console output:
[
    {
        firstname: "Bob",
        lastname: "Grown",
        __proto__: Object
    },
    {
        firstname: "Chris",
        lastname: "Green",

Description: YSPSL is a recombinant molecule resulting from the fusion of P-selectin glycoprotein ligand (PSGL) and human IgG1.
YSPSL blocks a class of adhesion molecules known as selectins and prevents the accumulation of both leukocytes and platelets at sites of inflammation. Specifically, it binds to selectins expressed on activated platelets and endothelial cells. Consequently, YSPSL inhibits binding of inflammatory cells bearing selectin ligands as well as subsequent inflammatory activity, platelet coagulation and thrombosis. Administration of YSPSL in animal models of transplantation suggests it may also upregulate anti-apoptotic genes such as hemoxygenase-1 that protect organs from ischemia-reperfusion injury.
Deal Structure: YSPSL was developed by Wyeth and was acquired by Ys Therapeutics from an undisclosed California biotechnology company in June 2005, providing Ys with an exclusive, worldwide license from Wyeth for development and commercialization.
In January 2009, Pfizer and Wyeth announced that they entered into a definitive merger agreement under which Pfizer will acquire Wyeth in a cash-and-stock transaction currently valued at $50.19 per share, or a total of approximately $68 billion. The acquisition was completed in October 2009.

I go away for two weeks for business and all I could think about was that I havent really ridden the bike ever since the fix. I come back and plan to take the bike to work. I go into the garage and see a spot of oil on my strategically placed brown bag!!!
Now I have to bring the bike back to the shop. Waste my precious time, and friends, travelling back and forth to the shop. The shop is a ways away.
It happen the same to me.Just clean well old oil on motor oil filter port than oil your new oil filter seal, than found a Japanese's air filter bracket (those for fixing the air box on carbs)than you have the make a small bore (1mm) on your krank (you'll found a little lip on the right side). Last but not least connect both with a metal wire twisted (like for racing bikes brakes). Than no more problems. Guaranteed !!

The Geography Department forms part of the Communications Facility.
Students in the Department benefit from a supportive and personalised learning environment where their individual needs are met.
An approachable and friendly atmosphere means that students feel confident to ask for further explanation where they need it.
The Department is very well-resourced with an interactive smartboard and a range of engaging materials and students have the opportunity to develop very strong social learning skills through effective group work.
At Key Stage 3, students will study Geography either as a discrete subject or as part of their combined humanities course for one lesson per week. At Key Stage 4, Geography has been a popular option choice for many years. Topics and Controlled Assessment tasks are designed to be relevant and meaningful to our students. For example, this year's Controlled Assessment fieldwork investigation will be based around Coastal erosion.
"...Going into Geography I thought it was about countries and population, but it helped me to understand more about my planet and environment and changed my view of the world. Literally..."
"...Geography is a good course, well taught and plenty of revision material..."


Test panels and cutoff levels are two main parts of the drug testing process. The drug test panels indicate which drug is being tested by the 3 letter initials such as THC, COC and OXY. Below the panels are the testing windows. This is where the test (T) and control (C) lines will appear.
If the test line appears, the result is negative. The darkness of the test line does not matter. As long as a test line appears, the result is negative. No test line means the result is positive. A control line should be present during every single test. If it does not appear, the test is invalid.
Understanding how our tests work will help you when performing these tests. All Easy@Home and Areta drug tests are based on cutoff levels. The panels detect the metabolites in the urine for the specific drug they are testing. The metabolites in the urine are measured in nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL). Each drug has a different cutoff level. You can refer to the image below for each drug cutoff level. For Example: The cutoff level for marijuana (THC) is 50ng/mL. Any negative test result for THC means that the sample measured is below 50ng/mL. Any positive test for THC means the sample measured is 50ng/mL or higher. This example applies to all other drugs and their specific cutoff level.
All Easy@Home and Areta dip card and drug test cups follow the FDA standards for cutoff levels.

Catholic Academy Hosts Carnival Fundraiser for Ronald McDonald House
Air date June 20, 2019
Tags: Currents Brooklyn, NY, Catholic Education, Catholic Family, Catholic Schools, Catholic Summer, Faith, Family, Inspiration, Queens, NY
The ribbon has been cut, the rides have been blessed, and Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament Catholic Academy's 2019 carnival has kicked off.
But the second annual event isn't just fun-filled, it's also a way to give back.
The carnival doubles as a fundraiser both for the school and for the Ronald McDonald House.
"It's amazing, I'm a very big believer that little hands, helping little hands makes a huge difference in a child's fundamentals. And if they learn the meaning of giving they definitely grow up to be amazing adults," said Theresa Brucculeri from the Board of Directors at Ronald McDonald House, Long Island.
According to Brucculeri, for years the school has been a big supporter, raising thousands of dollars for them, not including the money from this carnival fundraiser.
Christine Lucchese, President of the Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament Catholic Academy Parents Association, organized the event. She said it's a great way to teach students about giving back.
"They just can't wait to have fun and to give back, because we have been talking about this foundation for about a month and a half now, really letting them know what the cause is about, why were are doing this, and we really want them to learn the meaning of giving back, giving back as a community, giving back as a person," she explained.
Maura McCarthy who is on the academy's Board of Directors, agreed that giving back is an important part of a Catholic education.
"We try to instill academic values, religious values, and community support values and it's so great," she said.
"Throughout the year we have shown videos on how that house really helps support families whose children have cancer and are struggling. So it's wonderful that they're having a great time, but it's also wonderful that they're helping people."
And the students love it.
"I'm happy that I could help, because I would be sad if I had something wrong, and it's just fun to help someone else," said Reilly, a student at the school.
The carnival is happening on Friday June 21 from 5pm to 10pm, Saturday June 22 from 3pm to 10pm and on Sunday June 23 from 2pm to 9pm.
It will take place at Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament Catholic Academy's parking lot located at 34-45 202nd Street in Bayside.
