The Moral Probe: Or, One Hundred and Two Essays on the Nature of Men and Things
By Levi Carroll Judson
THE PROBE
ADVICE, to prove beneficial, depends upon these grand requisites; honest persons, with capacity and discretion to give that which is salutary; and honest hearts, willing to receive and be guided by it. It is as abundant as spring flowers in May, but not always as odoriferous.
From Lawyers, it may be purchased in quantity, according to the purse; and in quality, from first, to fourth common, as lumbermen sell boards; the latter being the most plentiful, but usually the most expensive in the end. Lawyers can, and should be the promoters of social order; peace-makers in community, keeping people out, instead of leading them into the labyrinth of law. If no lawyers were patronized, but those who are emphatically peace-makers; who can clearly discern the right and wrong between litigants, and kindly enforce the one and correct the other, by patient and sound reasoning; a ray of millennial glory would burst upon us; millions of money would pass through a better channel, and thousands of friendships be saved from dissolution. In the Healing Art, our country is flooded with advisers, from those of science, judgment, and skill; to swarms of quack opathics,who know as much of Physiology, Pathology, Materia Medica, Pharmaceutics, Anatomy, and Physics; as a pet cat does about the battle of Waterloo. We have many of this tribe of advisers, whose self-assurance, backed by some patent nostrums, gives them a passport among the credulous, and sometimes enables them to leave in the distance, a man of science, merit, and worth; but too modest and unassuming for the times. Blustering impudence and foaming braggadocia, have performed astonishing feats in our country, within the last few years.
Specifics, in numbers that would amaze Æsculapius, are proclaimed to the wide world by trumpet-tongued newspapers, each of which is a certain cure for all the diseases flesh is heir to, and promises to restore the Methuselah age to the human race. The patient can be accommodated with medicine, from the microscopic dose, to the pound or gallon. He may be par-boiled in the steam bath, or chilled with ice water; he may be drenched with syrup, scoured with pills, covered with plasters, have his blood let out, or his system charged with lightning. If all these should fail, he may throw himself into the arms of Mesmerism, triumph over all diseases, and attempt to deceive death, as the man in the fable did the bear, by pretending to be dead, as the only means of saving his life. If, in the multitude of counsel there is safety, the sick should be preëminently safe.
In Politics, we have numerous advisers, most of them patriots in proportion to their interests, who counsel us to go with their party, right or wrong. In this matter, our own judgments should be well informed, and guide us.
In Literature, there is no deficiency in the number, variety, or quality of advisers. From the shallowbrained, self-conceited pedant, up to the able, honest, and erudite professor in our colleges, we may obtain advice, to direct our ideas how to shoot.
Bookology has also taken a high stand, and is unfurling its broad pendant before the genial breeze of science. These silent monitors may be consulted, from Tom Thumb, up to the voluminous Encyclopedia, and from that, up to the book of all books—the BIBLE.
In the every day concerns of life, there are always numerous volunteers, ever ready to give their advice, but not all, either honest or competent.
In matters of Religion, a subject of more importance than all other things combined, the advisers are legion, and as various and distinct in some non-essential particulars, as the lines of latitude and longitude. Sectarian walls tower to the clouds, and these clouds often bewilder the inquirer after truth. All Bible churches draw their creeds from the same pure fountain-all serve the same master-all aim for Heaven. In this state of things, what is to be done? My advice is, go to the Bible; there pure religion is described in few words -throw the excresences of sectarianism to the winds, and extend charity to all Bible Christian churches. In what is necessary for the salvation of the soul, they are all right. Different sects of Christians, are like the children of one father; each has a different Christian name, but all belong to the same family—so all Christian churches belong to the household of faith, and should soar above family quarrels.
In giving advice, time, place, and manner, are of the first importance. Meekness, love, prudence, and discretion; with other talents below mediocrity, will effect more in correcting error, reforming the vicious, and advancing pure and undefiled religion; than the talents of an angel could accomplish without them. To know what, how, and when to advise ; is a matter too little understood, and less practised. If we wish the seed sown to take root, we must mellow the soil by proper cultivation. So in giving advice, we must first gain the confidence of those we deem it a duty to advise, and then look to God for success.
What I have said on this subject in a former publication, I here repeat. Of all occupations, that of agriculture is best calculated to induce love of country, and rivet it firmly on the heart. No profession is more honourable, none as conducive to health, peace, tranquillity, and happiness. More independent than any other calling, it is calculated to produce an innate love of liberty. The farmer stands upon a lofty eminence, and looks upon the bustle of cities, the intricacies of mechanism, the din of commerce, and brain confusing, body killing literature; with feelings of personal freedom, peculiarly his own. He delights in the prosperity of the city as his market place, acknowledges the usefulness of the mechanic, admires the enterprize of the commercial man, and rejoices in the benefits that flow from the untiring investigations and developments of science; then turns his thoughts to the pristine quiet of his agrarian domain, and covets not the fame that accumulates around the other professions. He has much time for intellectual improvement and reflection.
Constantly surrounded by the varied and varying beauties of nature, and the never ceasing and harmonious operations of her laws, his mind is led to contemplate the wisdom of the great Architect of worlds, and the natural philosophy of the universe. Aloof from the commoving arena of public life, and yet, through the medium of that magic engine, the PRESS, made acquainted with the scenes that are passing there, he is able to form a dispassionate and deliberate conclusion upon the various topics that concern the good and glory of his country. In his retired domicil, he is less exposed to the baneful influence of that cor rupt and corrupting party spirit, which is raised by the whirlwind of selfish ambition, and rides on the tornado of faction. Before he is roused to a participation in violent public action, he bears much, reflects deeply, and resolves nobly. But when the oppression of rulers becomes so intolerable, as to induce the farmers of a country to leave their ploughs and peaceful firesides, and draw the avenging sword let them beware—the day of retribution is at hand.
Above all other occupations, that of agriculture enables those who pursue it, to live in a fuller, freer, purer enjoyment of religion. It is less exposed to temptations, calculated to lead frail men from the paths of virtue. If multitudes, who are hard run to get bread, would leave our pent up cities, and occupy and improve the millions of fine land in our country, yet unlocated, it would greatly enhance individual happiness and public good. Try it, ye starved ones if you are disappointed, then I am no prophet, or the son of a prophet.

The Royal Airship Works Shortstown
The sheds at RAF Cardington March 2011
Bedfordshire and Luton Archives and Records Service possesses a copy of an article on the history of the Royal Airship Works written for an Empire Day programme of 1938. The text is reproduced below with annotations in square brackets made by H. G. Tibbutt before giving it to the office [CRT130Cardington4]:
"The Royal Airship Works, Cardington, were laid down in 1917 to meet the requirements of the Admiralty for an additional Airship Constructional Station".
"The lay-out included a Factory, Airship Shed, a Hydrogen Plant, a Foundry and Rolling Mill to manufacture Duralumin Alloy".
"The first airships to be constructed, the L.31 and L.32, were reproductions of the Schutte Lanz design, with wooden girder-work. Later, R.38 was constructed for special operations in the North Sea, capable of an altitude in excess of enemy aircraft at the time". [R.38. On August 24 1921, wrecked in Humber, loss of 42 out of complement of 49. 695 feet long, 85 feet 4 inches in diameter, gas capacity 2,700,000 cubic feet. 6 Sunbeam Cossack engines each of 350 H.P. R. 38 was built at Cardington by Air Ministry in the shed built and used during Great War by Short Brothers of Rochester and Bedford. Before it flew R. 38 was sold to the United States Navy and was called the Z. R. 2].
"A further airship programme was approved in 1924, when the design for R.101 was laid down. It was then found necessary to lengthen the existing airship shed by the addition of four bays and to increase the height. The shed now measures 812 feet long by 180 feet clear door space, with a total height of 170 feet. This work was completed by 1927, and in the same year it was decided to transfer an airship shed from H. M. Airship Station, Pulham, and re-erect it at Cardington, with additional structure to bring it to the same dimensions as No. 1 Shed".
Working on the sheds at the Royal Airship Works 1927 [X766/1/31]
"The Cardington MooringTower, completed in 1928, is a steel-framed octagonal structure, 200 feet in height, designed to take a pull of 30 tons in any direction at the mooring cone. In addition to the stairway, a passenger lift to accommodate eleven passengers is installed. The passenger lift is 40 feet in diameter and 170 feet above the ground".

"The operations carried out at Cardington have been concerned with the following airships: L.31, L.32, R. 33, R. 38, R.100 and R.101. It was from Cardington that R.101 undertook her trials, including her last flight. The total measurements of R.101 were 777 feet, with a capacity of 5,500,000 cubic feet".
"During the airship programme, the Meteorological Office established a Research and Forecasting Station at Cardington, to investigate weather conditions on the main Empire routes".
"After the disaster to R.101, airship research was continued, and it was intended to fit out R.100 as a "flying laboratory", but the work was stopped as a result of economy measures in 1931".
"The Kite Balloon Design Office was transferred to Cardington in 1924".
"In 1929, H. R. H., the Duke of Windsor, then Prince of Wales, visited the Royal Airship Works, and inspected R. 101, then under construction. Amongst other notable visitors were the Dominion Prime Ministers, who were in England for the Imperial Conference, in November 1930 [1926], they witnessed a demonstration flight of R. 33. One hundred Members of Parliament also paid a visit to the Royal Airship Works on 23rd November, 1929, and lunched aboard R. 101, which was then moored to the tower".
"The Graf Zeppelin landed at Cardington on 26th April 1930, for Doctor Hugo Eckener to embark".
Number 1 hangar at the former Royal Airship Works, in the parish of Eastcotts, was designed and built by A. J. Main and Company of Glasgow in 1916 and 1917. Airships R31 and R32 were built in this shed. It was enlarged in 1926 and 1927 by ClevelandBridge and Engineering Company of Darlington [Durham] to house R101 during and after its construction. It measures 812 feet long by 275 feet wide by 180 feet high. Number 1 hangar comprises twenty nine bays of steel framing with side aisles. Six stairways lead up to three roof catwalks used during construction of R101. R100 was broken up inside the shed in 1931.
The structure is clad in corrugated steel sheeting and the huge doors, weighing five hundred tons, are moved by an electric motor at the west end. It is the last survivor of an airship shed in situ in Europe. It was listed by the former Department of Environment in January 1982 as Grade II*, a particularly important building of special interest.
The adjacent Number 2 hangar stands in the parish of Cardington. It was built during the First World War at Pulham in Norfolk and later transported to Cardington and enlarged.
Shortly after R101 crashed on 5th October 1930 the decision was taken to abandon the concept of giant passenger airships. Before the month was out a third of the staff at the Royal Airship Works had been made redundant. R101's more successful sister ship R100, built by Vickers in Yorkshire, was broken up the following year and the Royal Airship Works was mothballed until November 1938 when it was renamed the Balloon Development Establishment and became the principal barrage balloon operations training centre for the Royal Air Force.


Research by information specialists, J2 Software, shows that employees pose one of the biggest threats to the security of corporate data – a threat that is largely unrecognised by South African boards. The launch of the King IV Report on Corporate Governance by the Institute of Directors in Southern Africa on 1 November, and the imminent announcement of the effective date in terms of the Protection of Personal Information (PoPI) Act by the newly appointed Regulator, provide a wake-up call for South African organisations, says John McLoughlin, MD of J2 Software.
One in 40 end-users mishandle sensitive corporate information; 2.5 percent of the trusted user base represents a direct threat to corporate security.
Less than one percent of businesses encrypt information copied to external USB drives, and even fewer know what has been copied.
Less than one percent of businesses encrypt their users' hard drives.
70 percent of businesses have no control and no visibility on administrative rights across their environments.
King IV requires companies to "exercise ongoing oversight of the management of information and, in particular, oversee that it results in the continual monitoring of security of information".
"To discharge this responsibility and ensure that the company's information is protected, systems are needed to monitor who is accessing data from inside the company as well as from outside – and what they are doing with it," ends McLoughlin.
Thank you for your enquiry. A representative will contact you shortly.

Articles/InterviewsJunior & Senior Grand Prix
Nam Nguyen kicks off 6th Grand Prix season at Skate Canada
By Gina Capellazzi, Figure Skaters Online website administrator
Skating photos by Robin Ritoss and FS_Evolution
Two-time Canadian Champion Nam Nguyen is no stranger to the Grand Prix Series. The 2019-2020 Grand Prix Series will mark the 21-year-old's sixth season on the circuit. Yet, despite that familiarity with the Grand Prix Series, Nguyen has only won a bronze medal at Skate America in 2014, which was his senior Grand Prix debut.
Nguyen is hoping to add some more hardware this week when he kicks off his Grand Prix Series, competing at his home country's event, Skate Canada International, in Kelowna, British Columbia.
Figure Skaters Online's Gina Capellazzi spoke one-on-one with Nguyen by phone after a training season Oct. 9. He spoke about overcoming a disappointing short program in his season opening competition, goals for the Grand Prix season and Canadian Nationals, and his thoughts on the Canadian men's field.
Figure Skaters Online: You kicked off your 2019-2020 season with the ISU Challenger Nebelhorn Trophy. You had a disappointing short program, finishing in 9th place. What happened?
Nam Nguyen: "I was extremely disappointed with the way it went. To be honest with you, I saw it coming the moment I woke up the day of the short because I wasn't feeling right, everything felt off, my energy was very low. Physically and mentally, I wasn't feeling well on that day. So unfortunately that happened."
FSO: Were you sick at Nebelhorn?
Nam: "The week before the event I came down with a pretty nasty cold and I missed two or three days of training that week. So I was really trying to do some intense recovery from that and I think once you come back from a sickness, your rhythm gets thrown off and that is what I found the week of Nebelhorn. I was trying really hard to fight, but unfortunately when the day of the short came around, I was just too exhausted to keep up the fighting energy."
FSO: What did you do to re-focus after your short program to skate well and finish second in the free skate and fourth overall?
Nam: "After my short program, my coach [Robert Burke] and I decided to kind of change some of the elements in my program and I think from there, I found this confidence. When I woke up for the day of the long, I felt like I had a job to do and everything was great. Practice was strong. I was aggressive and I kind of just went out there and did my job. The performance of the long wasn't what I was hoping for, although at that point, it was pretty early in the season for me so it was kind of good to get that out of the way and find a starting point really for the season. In terms of placement, I really don't think too much about it because after the short I was pretty far down. I was kind of impressed with, placement wise, the amount of places I jumped from the short to free, but other than that, I don't really have much thoughts on it."
FSO: You mentioned that you and your coach, Robert Burke, switched up your elements in the free skate before you competed it, what exactly did you switch up?
Nam: "We took out the quad toe just because I wasn't feeling good with that jump for a couple of weeks. We just kind of wanted to put out a solid skate for my confidence in the long run. That's exactly what we did. I was able to put out a half solid long program. There were a couple of elements that were pretty shaky, but in terms of getting through it, I was pretty pleased with that. Quad Salchow has always been my favorite jump so we put two in. The first one went real nice. The second one I kind of just sat down on it. That was more of a shock. The take off and everything felt great, but as soon as I came down, I slipped off my edge. Other than that, I'm feeling really good with that program."
Nam with Kirsten Moore-Towers in Obertsdorf (Courtesy of Nam Nguyen)
FSO: Did you have time to explore Obertsdorf, Germany while you were there?
Nam: "The schedule was kind of nice because we started early and we were the first event to finish that week so we had the end of Friday and Saturday to explore. Kirsten [Moore-Towers], Michael Marinaro and myself went to the top of the mountain to check out the view, which was pretty cool. Other than that, I really didn't do much sightseeing."
FSO: What have you been working on specifically since you returned home from Oberstdorf?
Nam: "We have really been working on the conditioning and cardio, trying to really push everything, like give it my all to the very end of the program. I really think with the opening it is kind of easy to get through, but then once I'm at that halfway point, it starts to get really hard for me. We have just been really trying to push everything. We have done a lot of jump circuit, build up the stamina for jumping. I think what is most important is being able to get through the program tired, but also while tired you have to give 100%. Obviously, you can train so much but you will never be able to feel like you are super fresh for the full four minutes of the long program."
FSO: Talk about your programs this season. Did you pick your own music? Who choreographed your programs?
Nam: "I picked out my own pieces again this year, similar to what I did last year. This time around, it really wasn't much of a process as it was last year where I kind of spent a really long time listening to pieces over and over. This year, I had a general idea of what I wanted to do. In terms of choreographers, Mary Angela Larmer choreographed my short ["Blues for Klook" by Eddy Louiss] and Danielle Rose and Kurt Browning choreographed my long [Beatles Medley: "Come Together", "Let It Be" and "Get Back"]."
FSO: What was it liked to work with Kurt, Danielle and Mary Angela?
Nam: "I worked with Kurt a couple of times so I know what he is like. It is my first time working with Danielle Rose even though she is like my second coach at the rink every day. We never had the opportunity to work together in terms of choreography. Mary has choreographed a couple of my show programs, one which I used for Stars on Ice this year so I have a general understanding of what she is like. It was a great process for sure when we were all working together to create these programs."
FSO: What are your goals both technically and artistically this season?
Nam: "Technically, I want to add that quad toe into my program. Right now, I kind of took a break from that jump because, mentally, it still kind of freaks me out a little bit. So far, since my break, I restarted working on it and it is going really well. So I think maybe after Skate Canada, we will think about putting it back into the programs. I'm also working on quad loop, just cause you know for fun, why not. (laughs). Artistically, I really want to be able to show the judges and the audience a difference in my skating. It has been a little bit hard for me to be able to do that. I think now, especially the time from Nebelhorn to Skate Canada, is the perfect time to really push the skating, especially in between my jumps and my spins, and to kind of reach out more and have better skating skills and transitions. It is definitely a long process, but I feel like we are on the right track."
FSO: You have been working with Robert Burke for a couple of seasons now. What is your relationship like as coach and student? What kind of coach is he?
Nam: "Robert is like a second father to me. He knows me so well, better than I know myself. He really has something on me that helps me get through the day and week. He's very organized, where as for me, I am not the most organized person so he understands when to push me and when to leave me alone to let me do my own thing."
FSO: What is it like to be back training in the Toronto area? (Nguyen trains in Richmond Hills, 30 minutes north of Toronto)
Nam: "It is nice to be back home in Toronto training. I get to be with my family, where as when I was in California, I was all by myself, which wasn't really fun. I was also young too, so I didn't feel like I was ready back then. I have everything in Toronto so it works out perfectly. The vibe here is great. I mean the only thing that I miss about California is the nice weather that they have all-year round, but you win some, you lose some. (laughs)."
FSO: As the reigning Canadian national champion, you lead the field of Canadian men at Skate Canada. Do you feel any pressure and if so, how do you plan to not let the pressure impact your performances?
Nam: "There is no pressure in terms of being the leading Canadian man going into Skate Canada. For me, I think what is more on my mind is being able to put out two skates that I can be happy with. Luckily for me, I'm able to kind of zone out what other people are doing, like the status that I am in going into an event. So hopefully that should be able to take me out. I'm just more concerned with being able to stay locked during the week and being present with myself and my team and getting the job done as we approach the short program and long program."
FSO: You had fifth place finishes at two previous Skate Canada International competitions. What will it take for you to get on the podium this time around?
Nam: "I don't really know. I have only won a medal once in my Grand Prix career. To be honest with you, I really don't know what it is going to take. It can go one way or the other. So for me, I think the best thing is kind of just focus on what I can control. I have obviously never finished on the podium very often in my career internationally so I'm not in really any position to say what is going to get me on [the podium]. I really hope that if I put out two clean performances with the majority of the levels and positive GOEs for every element I could have a shot at the podium. Again, I'm not really in that position to kind of make anything definite to finish on that podium. I just want to be happy with the performances I put out.
FSO: Have you looked at the field that you'll be up against at Skate Canada?
Nam: "No, I'm just focusing on myself. As a young kid, I used to be obsessed with who was in my event, but now it is like I don't really pay attention to it too much anymore. Obviously, I know Yuzuru Hanyu is doing Skate Canada because of the amount of hype there is around that, but other than that, I don't know who else is competing there (in Kelowna). I guess I'll see them for the first time when we get to the event. It will be a good time for sure."
FSO: What is like to compete in front of a Canadian crowd?
Nam: "It is such a special feeling. Any opportunity that I can get to represent Canada internationally or at home, for me, it is a privilege and an honor. Definitely with the hometown advantage, it is going to be wild. Canadian fans are like next level. The support they give us is amazing. They are extremely knowledgeable. As I said, it is an absolute honor and privilege to be representing such a great nation and I'm really excited to be competing in Canada for sure."
FSO: Have you started thinking about your second Grand Prix, Rostelecom Cup in Moscow, Russia, at all?
Nam: "Right now, we are just focusing on Skate Canada, but obviously, I know in the back of my mind there is still Russia to think about. Primarily, we are just looking on towards Skate Canada right now.
FSO: What are your goals for the Grand Prix Series? Obviously, making the Grand Prix Final is the ultimate goal, but what specifically are your goals for the series?
Nam: "It would be a dream to make the Grand Prix Final. I have never made it in my career. It would be nice to make it, but I think a more obtainable goal for myself would be to put out two performances that I'm happy with each outing I go to. I can't really ask for anything else and those are the only things I control from my side."
FSO: Turning to Canadian Nationals, you will enter the competition in January as the reigning champion. They say it is hard to defend your title. So what will you need to do to retain your title?
Nam: "I have to do my job. I have to keep it as simple as that. There are so many illusionary objects that come into your mind that prevent you from being able to believe in yourself when trying to defend a title. I have gone through that opportunity once [won first Canadian title in 2015] and I didn't really live up to that. Obviously with the return of Patrick [Chan] back in 2016, that was a completely different story, but still, I put way too much pressure on myself and it was extremely unnecessary. This time around, my coach and I have devised a plan in terms of what to do when we are approaching Canadians so that is really important for us to kind of follow-up with and be organized the best that I can going into that event, for sure."
FSO: You mention Patrick Chan, the most decorated male skater in Canadian history. What do you admire about Patrick and how has he influenced your skating?
Nam: "Patrick is one of biggest influences in my life for skating. I had the lucky opportunity to share the ice with him everyday for Stars on Ice earlier this year and I learned so much from him. He is such a nice guy. His skating is so beautiful and when you get to be on that same ice as him and feel that wind that he creates rushing by you, that's a next level feeling that nobody else can replicate. I want to strive to have the skating style that he is known for. Obviously, I will never be able to obtain what he has created, but I hope to achieve a percentage of what he can do because that stuff is just unreal to watch. It is amazing."
Nam with Canadian Stars on Ice cast members.
FSO: Speaking of Stars on Ice, how was performing in your first tour as a regular cast member this spring?
Nam: "It was such a great experience. It was a dream come true."
FSO: What do you think of the Canadian men's field? How do you think you stack up against the international field.
Nam: "As Mike Slipchuk, Skate Canada High Performance Director, said we are, right now, as a nation are in the rebuilding phase. Now we are looking toward the next generation–that would include Stephen Gogolev, Conrad Orzel and Joseph Phan and a whole bunch of other strong junior men skaters, even novice skaters coming up. We also have a hand full of really solid senior skaters around too. So I think in terms of stacking up to the international field, I think we are doing quite well. Obviously, we miss the presence of Patrick [Chan] around, but I think we are doing well, holding our own. I think our job is to come and just do our best at every competition we go to and focus on nothing else. That's our only job. So far we are doing okay with that. I know that as a whole, we could be a lot better. I think by the time we get to 2022 we will be stronger for sure."
FSO: The Canadian men only have one spot for the World team, which unfortunately means only one man will be representing Canada at the World Championships in Montreal. How do you plan to maximize your chances to obtain that World team spot?
Nam: "I don't think any of us have ever been in the position of fighting for one spot. Obviously with the Olympics when we had two, Patrick [Chan] occupied one and the other one was open. But I think this one is completely different just because we know the opportunity of representing Canada in Canada, that is a next level thing for all of us. I think it just comes down to whomever does their job the day of Nationals. I think that is what it boils down to. I can easily tell you right now that I can obviously go with a higher technical content, but that would mean for me that I would sacrifice my skating and my performance and that is something that I really don't want to give up. So we are going to try to find a balance and be strategic going into Nationals that will give me the best shot at doing my job and hopefully guarantee me a spot to the World Championships in Montreal."
FSO: How is school going?
Nam: "I'm at my second year at York University. I'm in the health studies program. Before I went to university, I took two years off to focus on skating, but I realized that is not a thing for me. So I'm back in school, trying to keep my life in balance. I'm part-time, because being a full-time student and trying to balance a full schedule of skating and working was kind of hard for me. Obviously, I know other skaters are doing a full-time school schedule and full-time skating. Respect to them because I wasn't able to do that. You have to choose your battles. Definitely, education is very important!"
FSO: Do you know what you want to do once you graduate?
Nam: "I'm still not sure what I want to do when I graduate. That is still VERY undecided for me. Right now, it is kind of just more of maintaining a balance for me mentally. Once we approach the graduation point, that is when I'll start to weigh out my options outside of skating."
FSO: Some fun questions now–what has been your favorite place to visit?
Nam: "Japan. Hands down. It is such a beautiful country. Very clean. The people there are so nice and the food is just wow! (laughs)"
FSO: If you could take a lesson with any skater, past or present, who would it be and why?
Nam: "John Curry. I would love to have one lesson with John Curry. The person that introduced me to his skating was Lori Nichol back in 2013. She showed me a bunch of clips of him skating and 'oh my gosh'. A professional that guy was. He knew what he was doing with his edges and weight placement. That is something that I really look up to. Unfortunately, he has moved on [ Curry passed away in 1994], but if I could go back in time, I would most definitely love to have the opportunity to work with Mr. Curry."
FSO: Craziest thing you have ever done?
Nam: "I think the craziest thing I have ever done (and I don't think it is crazy to other people, but for me it was) but at the Nebelhorn Trophy exhibition gala, during the finale, they call us out to do a trick. I really didn't want to jump or spin or do anything, so I skated like I was going to do a back flip but instead of doing a back flip, I did a back somersault and I psyched everyone out. I thought it was pretty funny. In the process I bashed my left knee pretty good so that kind of hurt.
FSO: Which do you prefer– apple or pumpkin?
Nam: "Pumpkin for sure, but absolutely not pumpkin spice lattes. I had that once and I don't understand why people drink it. It is disgusting. I like pumpkin soup. That is my thing. That pumpkin spice thing is not for me."
FSO: You favorite Halloween costume?
Nam: I haven't dressed up for Halloween since I was 7 because when I was 7 I dressed up as Spider-Man and Spider-Man is pretty jacked and he has pictorial muscles. I was self-conscious wearing that at school so I didn't take my sweater off the entire day. So I think that kind of left an emotional scar on me, but I do enjoying seeing people dressed up. I would dress up myself, but it takes a lot of will-power on my end to go through that. Skate Canada is always around Halloween and I noticed that some of the fans dress up.

View Full Version : Decrease energy consumtion for takedowns!
Whole energy bar for single take-down seems a bit excessive.
Half an energy bar per single take-down (full energy bar for dual take-down) would be best, cause then you could take down two enemies consecutively or combine other Augs (like, Silent runnung) with take-downs even on the last energy bar.
Huh, I think I was thinking wrong. When I say "Energy consumption free" I mean "Knockout for free; if this was implemented."
Does that make it seem less wrong?
Takedowns are just fine IMO. Between those, my stungun, my tranq rifle and patient observation for the right moment to strike, I'm not having any trouble. In fact, i'm having a blast.
Running augs? Why are you in such a hurry? How about savoring the game, instead of cramming it down your gullet as if it were tuna salad on Wonder Bread?
That is why takedowns cost energy. That is why recharging more than one battery at a time would break the game. I pulled that off cause I was used up all my candy bars, if takedowns were free or if you could recharge all your batteries by waiting then you could just do that in every room in the game, never take any damage, and cakewalk the game.
They made the decision to have drawn out animated melee.
Getting killed during drawn out animations is bad game design.
So they made you immune during said animation.
To balance the game, they put a high energy cost on it. Deal with it, it's fine as is.
It already feels like cheating when effortlessly jumping out of the bushes and facestab 2 goons at once, so the need to spend for extra energy is the least you can do.
Yes getting killed during a cut scene you can't abort pisses me Off, and thus they added a full pip requirement to keep it balanced.. got it.
Like I said.. I'm fine with it. I'm just putting ideas out there. If you like them.. use them or bump them.. else ignore them.

Q: C# Text formatting - Align doesn't work correct I'd like to format some texts to have same width. I'd tried to use String.Format and Interpolated Strings but I'm not successful. I give an example:
I have a listbox and I want to insert some formatted text.
listBox1.Items.Add($"{"Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter",-60}{"Sample"}");
listBox1.Items.Add($"{"Device Bluetooth",-60}{"Sample"}");

I'd expected that the text will be aligned under each other because I set for every text 60 characters length but It doesn't work and I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
Maybe I misunderstand how text formatting works. Or doesn't it work correct because every char has different width?

A: That depends on whether the font is monospaced - if it is, strings' lengths look equal.

Woody Allen: A Documentary. Ocean Grove Gets a Cameo Appearance
February 3, 2016 by Blogfinger
An early scene in Stardust Memories from the PBS documentary about Woody Allen
By Paul Goldfinger
"Stardust Memories" (1980) was Woody Allen's 10th film in which he acted and directed. It came after his biggest hit, "Manhattan" (1979), a gorgeous film which had won four Academy Awards.
"Stardust Memories" is about a famous filmmaker who comes to a seashore retreat to celebrate his work. The movie is a serious effort that examines themes such as life, death, relationships and religion. It was shot in black and white by Gordon Willis, the famed cinematographer who also filmed "The Godfather." Woody says that "Stardust Memories" is one of his favorite movies, but it bombed at the box office. The film was discussed during part I of the Woody Allen Documentary on PBS Sunday night.
Woody as Sandy Bates in Stardust Memories
The Great Auditorium exterior was used to represent the Stardust Hotel. Some other exteriors in OG and Asbury were also used, but other locations and studio venues participated. I think the Casino was used as a train station. Evidently, the electrified cross was taken down since it needed repairs, and Woody paid for a new one after filming.
In the documentary, they showed some scenes from the film, and I managed to grab a few shots from the TV including two showing the GA.
Some of the peculiar characters in the film. The GA hotel in the background
So while we are on the subject of movies where local towns are mentioned, Stardust is a favorite of mine, and the above article explains it all. It was last posted on Blogfinger in November, 2011.
MUSIC: From the Stardust Memories soundtrack. Louis Armstrong (recorded 1931) plays "Stardust." The movie title is derived from the Stardust recording sessions (1931) where Louis, in an alternate take, said "Oh, memories" three times in succession.
Woody liked the latter version of the song for the movie title, but the version below was chosen for the soundtrack. (Do you care? Some aficionados actually do.) PG

Back when I posted my recipe for Grilled King Oyster Mushrooms, Shohga suggested grilling the mushrooms brushed with ponzu and then using them in sushi. I thought that sounded like a great idea, so I filed it away in my brain to try later. The other day I went on the hunt for some ponzu, but couldn't find any without bonito (a type of fish). So, I decided to use some mirin instead. Since my grill was out of propane, I tossed the shrooms into a pan over medium heat and kept splashing them with mirin until cooked. I put them in the sushi roll with some chopped bok choy that I briefly pan fried in a little light soy sauce. The shrooms were slightly sweet and the bok choy added a light crunch. Dipped in some soy and wasabi, it was some mighty good sushi.

Novel phosphorylated derivatives of stavudine were synthesized by the reaction of bis(2-chloroethyl)phosphoramidic dichloride/4-nitrophenyl phosphorodichloridate with various cyclic amines and amino acid esters in the presence of triethylamine in dry tetrahydrofuran through the corresponding monochloride intermediates 2a-l. Further reaction of the intermediates 2a-l with stavudine in tetrahydrofuran and pyridine in the presence of triethylamine formed the title compounds 4a-l. Their structures were characterized by IR, 1H-, 13C-, 31P-NMR and mass spectral data analyses. They exhibited good antibacterial and antioxidant activities. Their bioactivity was greatly influenced by the different groups present at the phosphorus.

Former Political Star Andrew Gillum Opens Up About Addiction, Rehab After Hotel Incident
The 2018 Florida gubernatorial candidate said his controversy in March, when police say he was found drunk in a hotel room, caused "great embarrassment and lots of rumors"
By Benjamin VanHoose

Andrew Gillum, the former Florida mayor who narrowly lost his 2018 gubernatorial race only to withdraw from the public eye after a public controversy, is now detailing his experience at a rehabilitation facility.
On Monday, Gillum, 40, posted an 11-minute video on Instagram, offering a personal update after announcing in March that he would be stepping back in order to "seek help, guidance and enter a rehabilitation facility."
The former mayor of Tallahassee — who was the Democratic nominee for governor of Florida in 2018 — was found drunk in a hotel room on March 13 with another man who may have overdosed on drugs, police previously said. Gillum shares three children with his wife, R. Jai.
"I am thankful to so many of you who have wished me well during this especially challenging time," he captioned his video post on Monday. "I wanted to provide a personal update on how I have been doing. Take good care of yourselves during this season and I will see you on the other side. Warmest, Andrew."
In the video message, Gillum said he was "working" on himself in recovery, taking the time to "deal with some issues I was having," including alcoholism. With the support of his loved ones, he said he also began attending therapy to "talk through some of what was going on with me."
"I knew that if I had not dealt first with issues of addiction and the numbing that I chose with alcohol," he said, "there was no way I could start to pull back the layers and talk about what was truly happening underneath."

Gillum became Florida's first black gubernatorial nominee but lost his race to Ron DeSantis by about 32,000 votes, or less than half a percentage point. He said in his new video address that that narrow loss greatly affected him and that he compartmentalized the "personal failure."
"I had totally underestimated the impact that losing the race for governor had had on my life and on the way those impacts started to show up in every aspect of my life," he said.
According to a police report obtained by The Miami New Times in March, Miami Beach officers arrived to the Mondrian South Beach hotel on a Friday night that month and found Gillum in a room with Travis Dyson, who was being treated by emergency responders for a "possible drug overdose." The police report stated that officers found three bags of what they suspected to be crystal meth on the bed and on the floor of the room.
Authorities told PEOPLE then that the incident was not being treated as a criminal matter and Gillum was not charged with any crime; he quickly denied ever using meth.
Gillum, on Monday, said the public airing of the incident "caused great embarrassment and lots of rumors — some false, some true." He said the "shame" he felt was "tearing me up." He said, "I needed real help to try to unpack that."

Gillum also thanked his wife for her support, mentioning that she is "a woman who knows everything that I am and everything that I am not." He called R. Jai "literally God's grace on earth — the epitome of grace."
"I can't thank her enough for not just standing by me, but encouraging me through this and helping to prop me up on my leaning sides," he said, adding that she believes that the "best is yet to come" for their family.
Gillum was first elected to the Tallahassee city commissioner's office at 23, in 2003, and later served four years as the city's mayor. His near loss in the 2018 gubernatorial election was the closest any Democrat has come in 20 years to beating a Republican in the state's race for governor.

Academic Writing / APA 7th Ed
New APA Lingo
by Kurtis Clements · Published September 4, 2020 · Updated October 7, 2020
If you do not see the podcast player, click here to listen.
Shakespeare, loosely paraphrased, once wrote that a rose by any other name is still a rose, and that idea, by extension, now applies to APA Style as familiar terms now have new names.
In the past, the term "citation" was used to refer to information about sources within a paper and at the end. To differentiate where the citations appeared in a paper, the terms "in-text citation" and "reference citation" and sometimes "full citation" were used. Now, however, the term "citation" refers only to those citations found within the body of the paper. The terms "reference citation" and "full citation" do not even exist in the 7th edition of APA Style. So if someone says, "Where's the citation?," the question can only refer to in-text citations.
So what is all the bibliographic information that appears on the "references page" called? Well, first, the term "references page" is no longer being used in APA Style. That page is now called "references" or "references list" or even "list of references." Now this is not to say that the page with the references could not be called "references page" given that it is a separate page with the list of references, but it is to say that APA is no longer using that nomenclature.
Another language change concerns how to talk about in-text citations.
In the previous edition of APA, citations within the body of the paper were referred to as "citations" or "in-text citations" and sometimes "parenthetical citations," but all of the terms meant essentially the same thing–information about a source that followed APA's author-date citation format within the body of a paper. Those same terms still apply in the 7th edition, but APA has taken steps to be more intentional in terms of the types of citations.
APA Style 7th edition more clearly establishes two types of in-text citations: parenthetical and narrative. With the author-date citation system, sometimes both the author and date appear in parenthesis separated by a comma–thus, a parenthetical citation–and sometimes only the date appears in parenthesis, and the author's name is used in the sentence as part of the narrative–hence narrative citation. Narrative citations existed in the previous edition of APA, but that term was not actually put into use. Now APA Style more intentionally uses the term.
A sentence with a narrative citation, for example, would include some kind of signal phrase, the date of publication in parentheses, and the rest of the sentence like this: Clements (2020) (in parentheses) explained the difference between a parenthetical in-text citation and narrative citation.
One final language change concerns APA's recognition of the singular "they," which was the focus of an earlier entry (and if you missed that blogcast, you can view and listen to that content here).
Grammatically speaking, the pronoun "they" has long been a plural pronoun in that "they" refers to more than one person. Grammar requires agreement between a pronoun and the antecedent (what the pronoun refers to), so a sentence like "Each grammar curmudgeon rolled their eyes at the thought of a singular 'they'" would not be grammatically correct because "their" is plural and refers to "curmudgeon," which is singular. Well, the singular "they" resolves this agreement issue, and thus "Each grammar curmudgeon rolled their eyes at the thought of a singular 'they'" is now grammatically correct given "they" exists in both a singular and plural form.
Singular "they" also resolves the awkward "he or she" and "his or her" constructs because with singular "they" sentences like "Each student realized that he or she should do all he or she could to write well" would not be needed since singular they could be used instead of "he or she."
The primary impetus, however, for this language change has to do with APA Style's strong belief in using bias-free language in writing. To this end, the singular "they" is a pronoun of inclusivity in that it is a nonbinary singular pronoun for those individuals who do not identify with either he or she.
Until next week–
Kurtis Clements

\section{Introduction}
\label{intro}

The {\tt TAUOLA} package
\cite{Jadach:1990mz,Jezabek:1991qp,Jadach:1993hs,Golonka:2003xt} for simulation
of $\tau$-lepton decays and
{\tt PHOTOS} \cite{Barberio:1990ms,Barberio:1994qi,Golonka:2005pn} for simulation of QED radiative corrections
in decays, are computing
projects with a rather long history. Written and maintained by
well-defined (main) authors, they nonetheless migrated into a wide range
of applications where they became ingredients of
complicated simulation chains. As a consequence, a large number of
different versions are presently in use. Those modifications, especially in case of
{\tt TAUOLA}, are   valuable from the physics point of view, even though they
 often did not find the place in the distributed versions of
the program.
From the algorithmic point of view, versions may
differ only in  details, but they incorporate many specific results from distinct
$\tau$-lepton measurements or phenomenological projects.
Such versions were mainly maintained (and will remain so)
by the experiments taking precision data on $\tau$ leptons.
Interesting from the physics point of view changes are still
developed in {\tt FORTRAN}.
That is why, for convenience of such partners, part of the
{\tt TAUOLA} should remain in {\tt FORTRAN} for a few forthcoming years.

The program structure did not change significantly
since previous
$\tau$ conference \cite{Was:2012ne}, nowadays however, the C++
implementation become dominant for many aspects of  the project.
In the following, we will  concentrate on physics extensions and novel applications.
We will stress importance of the three aspects of the work:
(i)  construction and implementation of hadronic currents for $\tau$ decay
currents obtained from models (evaluated from QCD) (ii) presentation of
experimental data in a form suitable to fits (iii) preparations of algorithms
and definition of distributions  useful for fits.

We have prepared two
new set of currents, the first based mainly on theoretical consideration,
the second on an effort of BaBar collaboration. They are ready to be
integrated into main distribution tar-balls for {\tt FORTRAN} and {\tt C++}
applications.
Further work in evaluation if such parametrizations are better suitable for physics purposes is on-going. Weighted event
techniques useful  for fits were studied as well.
Analyses of high precision,
high-statistics  data from Belle and BaBar may find them useful, similar as LHC experiments.

Our presentation is organized as follows:
Section 2  is devoted to presentation of  optional initialization for
 {\tt TAUOLA} which is based on the program version evolving in BaBar
starting from a variant presented on $\tau$ conference of 2004 \cite{Was:2004dg}.
This version is supplemented with multitude of anomalous $\tau$ decay modes
as well as with parametization of our theoretical works of the last decay
(of different level of theoretical sophistication depending on decay channel). Possibility to replace
hadronic currents or matrix elements with the user provided C++ code
is introduced.
In Section 3 we concentrate on   {\tt PHOTOS} Monte Carlo for
radiative corrections in decays. The new version of the program is now 100 \%
in C++.
Section 4 is for the interfaces of {\tt TAUOLA} and {\tt PHOTOS} based
on  {\tt HepMC} and written in {\tt C++}. Work on interface to
genuine weak corrections, transverse spin effects and new tests
and implementation
bremsstrahlung kernels is presented as well. Next, the algorithm of  {\tt TauSpinner} is presented. It calculates
 weights to manipulate properties of
the event sample accordingly to changed
assumptions for the hard process dynamic, or due to changed level of
implementation of spin effects.
 Summary Section 5, closes the presentation.

Because of the limited space of the contribution,
 some results  will not be presented in the
proceedings. They find their place in
publications, prepared with co-authors listed in the References.
For these works,  the present paper may serve as an advertisement.

\section{ New currents in  {\tt TAUOLA} Monte Carlo}

In other talks \cite{Shekhovtsova:2014xsa,Roig:2014kwa} of the conference, it was shown how  Resonance Chiral Lagrangian
approach was used for calculations of  hadronic currents
to be installed in  {\tt TAUOLA}. We do not need to repeat it here.
In~\cite{Shekhovtsova:2014xsa} it was  stressed that
 details, such as additional  resonances, more specifically the
$f_2(1270)$, $f_0(1370)$ and $a_1(1640)$, observed  by CLEO long time ago \cite{Asner:1999kj} can not be introduced if fits to  one-dimensional
invariant mass spectra of two- and three-pions systems are
only used. In Ref.~ \cite{Asner:1999kj}  as an input for
 parametrization of {\tt TAUOLA} currents ({\tt cleo}
parametrization\footnote{Note that for this parametrization,
differences between hadronic currents of $\tau \to \pi^+\pi^-\pi^- \nu$
and $\tau \to \pi^-\pi^0\pi^0 \nu$   were ignored;
isospin symmetry was imposed ($\rho\pi$ dominance). Version of the current without this constraint
is nonetheless distributed with {\tt TAUOLA} (all versions),
but as an non-active option.
On the other hand, it  not only was developed and used by CLEO, but existed
(as one of  options) in  BaBar software. I am thankful to Swagato Banerjee
for clarification.}
\cite{Golonka:2000iu}),
two-dimensional mass scattergrams were used. This should be considered as a
minimum for the comparisons with the present day data as well. In fact,
already CLEO used more detailed
representation of the data in \cite{Browder:1999fr}.
It may be of interest to repeat such data analysis, with the help of observables,
as the ones presented in \cite{Kuhn:1992nz}, but
adopted to the case of relativistic tau-pair production of Belle or BaBar
experiments.

Physics of $\tau$ lepton decays requires sophisticated strategies for the
confrontation of phenomenological models with experimental data. On one hand,
high-statistics experimental samples are collected, and the obtained precision is
high, on the other hand, there is a significant cross-contamination between distinct
$\tau$ decay channels. Starting from  a certain precision  level all channels
need to be analyzed simultaneously. Change of parameterization for one channel
contributing  to the background to another one may be important for the fit of
its currents. This situation leads to a complex configuration where a multitude of parameters (and models)
needs to be simultaneously confronted with a multitude of observables.
One has to keep in mind that the models used to obtain distributions in
 the fits may require refinements or even substantial rebuildings as a consequence
of comparison with the data. The topic was covered in detail in the $\tau$ Section
of Ref.~\cite{Actis:2010gg}. At present our comparison with the data still does not
profit from such  methods.

Let us give some details. We may want
to  calculate for each generated event (separately for
decay of $\tau^+$ and/or $\tau^-$) alternative weights; the ratios
of the matrix element squared obtained with new currents,
and the one actually used in generation. Then, the vector of weights can be obtained
and used in fits.
We have checked that such a solution not only can be easily installed into
{\tt TAUOLA} as a stand-alone generator, but it can also be incorporated into
the simulation frameworks of Belle and BaBar collaborations. For practical reasons
use of semi analytical distributions is much easier. It enables much faster
calculation of errors for fit parameters including correlations, but experimental distributions must be available in unfolded form.
This was an important ingredient of our work for fits of 3$\pi$ currents
obtained in \cite{Shekhovtsova:2012ra}. We have found that modifications of
the currents were necessary to obtain results given in \cite{Nugent:2013hxa}.
It is not clear, if such fitting, without additional help of observables as
in \cite{Kuhn:1992nz} can be used for the
$KK\pi\nu_\tau$ and $K\pi\pi\nu_\tau$ $\tau$ decay channel, even if two-dimensional
scattergams are available. One has to keep in mind that if experimental data
are available as one or at most two dimensional histograms then resulting currents
rely on the models. With the present day precision of the data, even an approach of
Resonance Chiral Lagrangian should not be expected to have sufficient
predictive power to describe multidimensional distributions from the constraints of
fits to one or two dimensional histograms. This limitation is clearly visible in
results for $4-\pi$'s currents of ref.\cite{Bondar:2002mw}.

Keeping all these limitations in mind, we have nonetheless prepared
 currents for
{\tt TAUOLA} based on
Refs.~\cite{Nugent:2013hxa,Bondar:2002mw,Fujikawa:2008ma,Kuhn:2006nw},
respectively for 3, 4,  2  and 5 $\pi$'s final states.
This is  now available  (upon
individual requests) for {\tt FORTRAN} and {\tt C++} users,
together with further possibility that user introduces  own  C++ currents and together
with  BaBar initialization of currents.

\section{{\tt PHOTOS} Monte Carlo for bremsstrahlung; \newline its systematic uncertainties}
\def{\tt SANC}{{\tt SANC}}
Over the last two years no major upgrades for functionalities
were introduced into {\tt PHOTOS} Monte Carlo. On the other hand, technical
changes were introduced.
In the last couple of months, for the version of the code
prepared for the C++ environment~\cite{Davidson:2010ew}, transition to C++
was completed.

Also work on numerical tests and new applications, especially in domain of LHC
applications was completed. The results are collected in Refs.~\cite{Arbuzov:2012dx,Doan:2013qqa,Jadach:2013aha}. A precision up to sub-permille level
was confirmed.

\section{  {\tt TAUOLA universal interface} and {\tt TauSpinner}  }

In the development of packages such as {\tt TAUOLA} or {\tt PHOTOS}, questions
of tests and appropriate relations to users' applications are essential for
their
usefulness. In fact, user applications may be much larger in size and
human efforts than the programs discussed here.
Good example of such `user applications' are complete environments to simulate
physics process and control detector response at the same time.
Distributions of final state particles are not always of direct interest.
Often properties of intermediate states, such as a spin state of $\tau$-lepton,
coupling constants or masses of intermediate heavy particles are
of prime interest.
As a consequence, it is useful that such intermediate state properties are
under direct control of the experimental user and can be manipulated
to understand detector responses.

In that perspective, an algorithm of {\tt TauSpinner} \cite{Czyczula:2012ny} to study detector response to spin effects
in $Z, W$ and $H$ decays, represents an important development. The program is calculating weights corresponding to changes of the physics assumption. As an input, events stored on the data file are used. At present,
the program can calculate: spin correlation, production matrix element and decay matrix element weights from the kinematical configurations for events previously generated
and stored on the datafile. In this way detector response to variants
of physics model used in the production process can be studied. Following
original publication,
the {\tt TauSpinner} was
first enriched~\cite{Banerjee:2012ez} with the option to study effects of new physics, such as
effects of spin-2 states in $\tau^+\tau^-$ pairs produced at LHC.
This work was later continued, and in~\cite{Przedzinski:2014pla} an option to study
transverse spin effects, important for the Higgs parity measurements was developed.
Work on systematic tests was being performed as well \cite{Kaczmarska:2014eoa}.
Electroweak corrections taken from
Refs.~\cite{Andonov:2008ga,Andonov:2004hi} can be  also used with the help of the weights.
Also, as it was found  \cite{Banerjee:2007is}  to be  the case for
evaluation of systematic errors for the measurement of  $e^+e^- \to \tau^+\tau^-$  BaBar cross section,
improvements in precision of $\tau$-decays as discussed in Section 2,
may be of importance for LHC observables as well.

All our programs are available
through the LHC Computing Grid ({\tt LCG}) Project. See
{\tt GENSER} webpage, Ref.~\cite{Kirsanov:2008zz}, for details.
 This is the case for {\tt TAUOLA, TauSpinner}   and for
{\tt PHOTOS}    as well.
The {\tt FORTRAN} predecessors are
available in this way too.

\section{Summary and future possibilities}

Versions of the hadronic currents available for the {\tt TAUOLA} library
until now, were all based on old models and experimental data of 90's.
The alternative implementation of   new currents, based on the Resonance Chiral Lagrangian, or other approaches
 is now prepared
and tested for the decay channels to 2, 3, 4 and 5 pions. For each of these groups of decay channels,
different level of theoretical sophistication and quality of comparisons with the
$\tau$ decay data was used.
 On top of it,
parametrizations used for the default simulations in BaBar collaboration became
available. The particular advantage of this option is a
multitude of rare and anomalous $\tau$ decay channels. In fact this list was extended
even further. With the help of C++ interface, user provided hadronic current(s)
or decay matrix element(s),
can replace, the ones of the library.

In contrary, methods for detailed  confrontation
with the experimental data are not developing that fast. We still rely on
comparison of results with one (at most two) dimensional histograms of invariant
masses for sub-groups of $\tau$ decay products, defined for each decay channel
separately and unfolded from the background by experiments, prior to comparisons.
Even though it was postulated already in \cite{Asner:1999kj} that it may not be optimal.

The status of
associated projects: {\tt TAUOLA universal interface } and {\tt TauSpinner}
was reviewed. Also new results for
the high-precision version of  {\tt PHOTOS} for QED radiative corrections in
decays, were referenced.
All these programs are ready for {\tt C++} applications
thanks to the {\tt HepMC} interfaces.

Presentation of the {\tt TAUOLA} general-purpose {\tt C++} interface
was given. Electroweak corrections can be used
in calculation of complete spin correlations in $Z/\gamma^*$ mediated
processes.  An algorithm for study, with the help of weights calculated from
kinematic of events stored on data files,  detector responses to: spin effects
and production process variants in
$Z$, $W$ and $H$ decays was shown. The corresponding program {\tt TauSpinner},
is useful, eg. to study Higgs parity sensitive observables at LHC.

\centerline{\bf Acknowledgement}

The work on {\tt TAUOLA} would not be possible without continuous help an encouragements
from experimental colleagues.
The work of all  co-authors of the papers devoted to  {\tt TAUOLA} development
was of great importance.
I hope, that it is clearly visible from  my contribution.
