The Tau lepton (or tauon) is a negatively charged elementary particle with a high mass of 1.777 MeV. It is associated with an antiparticle and a neutrino. It is a 3rd generation of matter particle, and quickly decays to a stable 1st generation (normal matter) particle. Due to approximate tauon number conservation (neutrino oscillations violate this "conservation" law) (lepton number conservation), a tau neutrino is created when a tauon decays to a lighter lepton (muon or [electron]]). Except for its high mass and its instability, a tauon otherwise resembles an electron.

In the table-top wargame Warhammer 40,000, the Tau are a benevolent race fighting for what they call the Greater Good. They are actually a peaceful race when possible, asking if others will join their cause instead of fight.The Tau also make use of mercenaries from other races (primarily the Kroot of Pech). The Tau are a relatively young race, but their technology is extremely advanced, so much so that the Imperium of Man has of late been wondering if the technological advances were all the Tau's doing...
Tau society is broken down into five castes: Fire (military), Earth (construction), Water (trade), Air (transportation), and the Ethereal (leaders). In times past, the main four castes (fire, earth, water, and air) were constantly at war with eachother. Suddenly, the strange, mystical tau of the Ethereal caste began to appear, and they united the Tau.
The Tau prefer to fight in the back with powerful, long-ranged weapons. This seems to work for the most part, unless they are on a small battlefield. Then the enemy is able to engage in melee combat, in which the Tau do not excell. For this reason, and others, the Tau employ the Kroot.

Vietnam | The major chamber of commerce for Vietnamese enterprises is the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI), headquartered in Hanoi with branches throughout Vietnam, including Ho Chi Minh City, Danang, Haiphong, Vung Tau, Can Tho, and Vinh. (references) | |
Vietnam | According to a recent release of the Ho Chi Minh City statistics office, the city and three surrounding provinces of Binh Duong, Dong Nai, and Da Ria-Vung Tau, with only 3.8 percent of the country's surface area and 11.2 percent of the population accounted for 31 percent of the country's GDP in 1999. Essentially, this incredible economic story is the result of large inflows of foreign investment to these provinces, which are now in many ways 'de facto' integrated into the world economy.

Lexicography | Devil's Dictionary | SYMBOLIC, adj. Pertaining to symbols and the use and interpretation of symbols. They say 'tis conscience feels compunction; I hold that that's the stomach's function, For of the sinner I have noted That when he's sinned he's somewhat bloated, Or ill some other ghastly fashion Within that bowel of compassion. True, I believe the only sinner Is he that eats a shabby dinner. You know how Adam with good reason, For eating apples out of season, Was "cursed." But that is all symbolic: The truth is, Adam had the colic. G.J. T T, the twentieth letter of the English alphabet, was by the Greeks absurdly called tau. In the alphabet whence ours comes it had the form of the rude corkscrew of the period, and when it stood alone (which was more than the Phoenicians could always do) signified Tallegal, translated by the learned Dr. Brownrigg, "tanglefoot." |
