It's a question I've been asked before, so I was not surprised to have it raised again. It is a question that has baffled some of the greatest minds in history and one which has been the subject of much debate. What is Christianity? What is the Christian faith all about?
For me, the answer is simple: Christianity is Christ! All that is rightly associated with the Christian faith finds in centre in Christ. John Stott has written: The person and work of Christ are the foundation rock upon which the Christian religion is built. Take Christ from Christianity, and you disembowel it; there is practically nothing left.
Christianity is rooted in the person and work of the Lord Jesus and is lived out through a relationship with Him. The Apostle Paul understood this truth and declared it rather succinctly: For to me, to live is Christ (Philippians 1:21). This statement from Paul along with his words in Galatians 2:20 capture the essence of Christianity!
What is Christianity? Christianity is Christ; faith in Christ, fellowship with Christ, following after Christ and a future with Christ. It is the acknowledgement that you can do nothing to save yourself; to establish a right relationship with God. The Bible reminds us that all of us have a record of violations before a holy God; we need someone who can change our record, erase our violations, make us acceptable before God; Jesus Christ is that Someone.
At some point in our lives if we are to truly embrace the Christian faith, we must accept the truth about ourselves and the truth about Christ. We must transfer our trust from what we think we can do to find acceptance with God and trust what Christ has already accomplished on our behalf.
There is a huge difference between being religious and being a Christian. Years ago I came across this explanation: Religion is spelled 'D-O'. It is what we think we can do to find favour with God. Christianity is spelled 'D-O-N-E'. It is rooted in what Christ has already done for us. We need only to put our faith in Christ alone.
Christianity is Christ; faith in Christ and fellowship with Christ. It is rooted not just in the truth about Christ and the teachings of His Word, but also in a relationship with Him; one in which we find peace and joy and meaning and purpose as we journey through our days on earth. It is following after His ways and finding in Him all that we need. And it the sure hope that when our days here on earth come to end, we have a future with Christ, in heaven.
Thank you for this blog. It sometimes is hard to put "Christianity" into words that are so simple. "Christ" and "faith"

This week Samsung will announce the world's largest LCD television, coming in at 82 inches, with a resolution of 3,840 by 2,160 pixels at a 120Hz refresh rate (known as a "2160p" rating). This level of clarity qualifies it as an "ultra high definition" display, and its impressive picture quality will be bolstered by a red/green/blue LED backlight that will raise true color saturation to 150 percent. This HDTV tops the former record-holder for World's Largest by a sizable margin; the title once belonged to a 65-inch LCD TV made by Sharp. The HDTV will not go into production for another 18 months, and no suggested retail price was announced. It is worth noting that no domestic television provider offers broadcast in ultra high definition, though there are rumors UHD broadcast is under testing in Japan.
Alongside its massive television, Samsung will also announce an 82-inch LCD multi-touch "e-board", which is designed to replace whiteboards and conventional projectors. While it retains the resolution of its twin, the television, it will run at 60Hz. To accompany these two announcements, Samsung is also launching a multi-view digital information display, or DID, which will allow viewers to perceive objects in three dimensions without the need for special goggles or glasses.

Birth Sept. 24, 1841
Cemetery Woodland (Atkinson)
Post Lennox (Atkinson)
Unit 1st Wisconsin Infantry, Company A
Private Peter Greeley
Company A, 1st Wisconsin Infantry
Greeley was born in Wisconsin on September 24, 1841. He was living in Waterford (Racine County), Wisconsin when enlisted and was mustered on September 14, 1861. Private Greeley was wounded twice during the Civil War. His first wound was incurred at the Battle of Chaplin Hills (also called the Battle of Perryville) in Kentucky on October 8, 1862. He recovered from his wound and rejoined his regiment. His second wound was more severe. He was severely wounded in his left leg on July 20, 1864 at the Battle of Peach Tree Creek in Georgia. As a result of his wound, his leg was amputated. Private Greeley was mustered out on March 1, 1865.
The 1st Wisconsin Infantry was organized and mustered at Camp Scott (Milwaukee), Wisconsin on October 19, 1861. During Greeley's enlistment, the regiment was involved in several major battles. Two of them were:
The Battle of Chaplin Hills/Perryville (KY) (October 8, 1862) was the most regiment's most costly during the War. The unit lost 55 soldiers, 88 were wounded, and 9 were taken prisoner. Private Greeley was one of the wounded. The battle is commonly referred to as the Battle of Kentucky. The Union forces prevailed and retained control of Kentucky for the balance of the Civil War.
The Battle of Chickamauga (GA/TN) (September 19-20, 1863) was the most significant Union defeat in the Western Theater. This was another costly battle for the 1st Wisconsin Infantry. Twenty-two (22) soldiers were killed, 71 were wounded, and 75 were taken prisoner or reported missing.
Greeley was wounded the second time at the Battle of Peach Tree Creek on July 20, 1864. The battle was part of the Atlanta Campaign (May 1-September 8, 1864).
Greeley died on January 23, 1934 at the age of 92 years. He is buried in the Woodland Cemetery in Atkinson (Holt County), Nebraska. At the time of his death, he was the last member of the Lennox Post (#39) of the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) in Atkinson. In addition, he was a member of the O'Brien Post (#241) of the GAR in Turner, Nebraska.

Soundtrack: Jack White "Blunderbuss" and "Lazaretto"
I've posted pictures of this stable before, but it was all done up special for Independence Day, and I really dug the cool "76" flag, so that is why this is my picture of the day.
It has been unreasonably hot this week. Our high in Denver yesterday was 105, which is higher than I ever remember Denver getting. Things are okay as I begin my run...temps in the 70's, but by the time I arrive home at around 8:45 AM, it's inching into that uncomfortable territory. I much prefer this to snow, but it can be a bit uncomfortable. I have been taking many more cold showers than usual to try and drop my internal temperature. They are refreshing, especially when I feel overheated, but it's weird to jump into a stream of cold water.
Mood: Slowly returning to normal.
The choices for my photo today came down to wildlife. It was an inquisitive squirrel staring at me from his perch in a tree versus a giant Pelican in the middle of Smith Lake. The Pelican won, but it was closer than you'd think. That squirrel had some pizzazz.
I feel like I'm getting closer to normal every time I am able to get out and put in a good run. It's taking longer to recover from the foot injury and the ensuing running respite that accompanied it than I ever expected it would, but I'm getting close. The extreme soreness that was plaguing me after each run is abating to a normal amount of soreness, I still get tired more quickly and require a few more breaks during my runs than I used to, but even that is improving. The fact that I have now run at Wash Park two consecutive Sundays is a sign that things are truly getting back to normal, and for that I am quite thankful.
Mood: Plum tuckered out from a week of living solo.
Soundtrack: Westworld Cast / Panic! at the Disco "Pray For The Wicked"
I guess I feel like taking photos of flowers this week. This yard was covered in flowers, and I took SEVERAL shots.
Mood: Engrossed in TV talk and taking pictures of weeds.
So technically, thistles are weeds, and once they dry out and get all prickly and brown, I get it. However, at this stage with they are vibrant pink...I dig em. I spent this run at a much slower pace than Sunday at Wash Park, but it was still a beautiful morning and I felt pretty good for the most part. I was engrossed in a podcast about Westworld, a show which I am currently watching through a second time. I NEVER watch shows twice, but this show is so rich with details and has so many surprise twists and turns that watching it a second time is almost like watching a different show, as I see places where they weave their complicated plot in ways I could not have possibly understood upon first viewing. Listening to a podcast about it gives me even more so chew on, and I dig that.
Mood: Back in the saddle, and it feels so good!
Soundtrack: Daves of Thunder / The Shins "Port of Morrow"
I'm trying to work the kinks out of my running. Hopefully I do a better job of de-kinking that the person who abandoned this slinky on the Streets at Southglenn. I'm not sure what you're supposed to do when you come across an abandoned slinky on the sidewalk, but I decided that I would take a photo of it.
This run marks the first time since my foot injury that I ran a normal running distance (for me) and felt like myself the whole time. It was a bit of a relief, as the first three times I went out, It was a massive struggle and I ran out of steam super early every time. I actually had steam as I finished up this time, and almost made it eight miles. These were both encouraging signs to me, and have me feeling like I will be back to normal very soon!
Mood: Out of shape, so out of shape.
Soundtrack: Dear and the Headlights "Drunk Like Bible Times"
This was my third attempt at running since coming back from my foot injury, and the early returns are that the foot is doing fine, but my conditioning has fallen apart. This was the longest outing I have tried, and I pretty much fell apart at around four miles, and dragged myself to a rather unimpressive six before just walking the final stretch home.
In addition to being unable to catch my breath, my muscles have apparently softened during my absence from the trails and now I get super sore and tight muscles for days after even the shortest run when previously I could do a good long run and feel mostly great the next day, now I'm feeling it. My plan for now is to continue to slowly work in some runs this month along with some bike rides and slowly build up my endurance so that maybe by July I'll have a shot at once again hitting a 100 mile month.
I had honest intentions of doing a full scale bike workout on this particular Sunday morning. However, after a long Saturday drive through Wyoming and a late night where I had trouble sleeping, it was tough getting myself out of bed, and while I eventually got up. I didn't have the time or energy to do a major ride, so I basically just circled Southglenn to load up on Pokemon supplies from the plentiful Pokestops and abandoned any pretense of working hard. Still, it was a lovely morning, and it felt good to be home after a long and wonderful trip in Yellowstone, and when I was done, I had all the supplies I could hold, which I had depleted during my trip.
I nearly didn't take a photo on this ride, but at the last minute I remembered to do so, and shot a picture of a Maserati. I am most definitely NOT a car guy, and couldn't care less about the car aspects of what make this vehicle obscenely overpriced, but I do like a good logo, and Maserati's Trident logo is pretty glorious. So while I couldn't care less about the car itself, I dig it's logo a lot, and decided to just take a picture of the grill.
Mood: Enjoying a charming town in the literal middle of nowhere.
With this run, I add a 12th state to my Run and Shoot resume. I already had Colorado, Kansas, Washington, South Dakota, Illinois, Arizona, New Mexico, Louisana, Mississippi, Iowa and Florida. I now add Wyoming to the mix with this run in the quaint town of Pinedale, Wyoming. I had planned on running in Yellowstone, the destination that had brought me to Wyoming, but when I discussed this possibility with the locals, they said that it wouldn't be safe unless I took a canister of bear spray with me. Bear spray is very expensive, and not something I really wanted to run with. Also, I didn't want to run without it and risk becoming a bear snack, so I decided to forego running until I got out of bear country.
The town of Pinedale isn't terribly large, but they do have quite an interest in the arts, as there were murals and paintings and statues all over town. I almost decided to post a photo of a moose statue that is in front of a Chinese Restaurant, but I decided on the much more tasteful elk statues in a park in the center of town right next to the river. I also could have posted a fish collage, a painting of cows on the side of a building, a cool frontiersman statue, or several other murals that I saw all over town. There were a lot of cool objects in a town so small. I think my favorite fact about Pinedale is that it's motto seems to be, "All the Civilization You Need!" A motto which to me does not appear to be based in fact, but perhaps that is a matter of opinion.
Tiny towns are a great place to run when on vacation, as you can get an idea of the entire place in one workout. This place is pretty great, as it has a beautiful river going through the middle of it which one can run along with nice parks, a beautiful path beside the river, and the aforementioned art. I have no interest in living in a tiny town in Western Wyoming, especially as based on my drive through enormous stretches of vast wasteland, there doesn't appear to be another legit town within hundreds of miles in any direction. Wyoming is the least populous state, and wow could I feel that fact driving through it on Saturday.

What most people refer to as acupuncture is really the profession of Oriental Medicine. "Acupuncturists" may use a wide variety of therapeutic techniques, including herbal medicine, exercise therapy and nutrition, as well as acupuncture.
Oriental Medicine (OM) is one of the oldest continous systems of medicine in history, with recorded instances dating as far back as two thousand years before the birth of Christ. It has its philosophical roots in Nature and uses gentle, but powerful methods to help harmoniously balance the body and bring it back to a healthier state.
How does Oriental Medicine help prevent illness?
Illness occurs when our bodies are weakened or when we have an imbalance, both of which can prevent the proper circulation of qi (pronounced "chi"). When qi cannot circulate properly, our emotions become imbalanced, we can become stressed and bacteria and viruses that would normally be repelled can attack our bodies. Acupuncture and herbal therapy can strengthen and improve the flow of the body's qi making us less susceptible to disease.
You will feel a sensation with acupuncture, but you should not feel pain. Acupuncturists stimulate the needles to achieve de qi, or needling sensation, in order to get the proper therapeutic effect. You might feel heaviness, distention, tingling, warmth, or even a traveling sensation along the acupuncture channel. Most people feel energized by treatment, while others feel relaxed.
Acupuncture needles are inserted in points located around the body. They are usually located on what are called "channels" or "meridians" which flow like rivers carrying qi and blood through the body's landscape. Needles inserted at these points adjust the flow of qi and blood to help the body regain a healthier state. Needles are never inserted into blood vessels, nerves, organs or other vital structures of the body.
How many needles do I get?
Acupuncturists typically choose between 6-18 points for a treatment depending on the disease, patient and even the season.
The acupuncture needles we use are sterilized, metallic, solid and hair-thin. After treatment, these single-use needles are disposed of in a biohazard waste container. New needles are used for each treatment.
This depends on the disease being treated. For acute disorders that respond quickly to acupuncture, 2-3 visits over two weeks may be all that is needed. For chronic diseases that need a longer course of treatment, one visit per week for 3-6 months may be required. Usually after four treatments we will know whether or not acupuncture is working for your condition.
Will insurance cover acupuncture treatment?
Insurance companies in the Midwest are increasingly covering acupuncture. Call us at 773-470-6994 and we will be happy to confirm your acupuncture health benefits with your insurance provider. Usually Cigna, United Health Care, and Blue Cross/Blue Shield offer the best out-of-network benefits. If acupuncture is not covered by your plan, discuss cash discount options with us. We do not turn patients away because of financial issues!
The World Health Organization outlined a list of diseases that have been shown through experimental study to respond well to acupuncture. For the complete list, consult your acupuncturist or log onto www.who.int.

So unless I agree to something written in a language I do not read, I can no longer access a blog I have been using over fifteen years."
I actually can read a little Russian (the three years I took in college haven't totally evaporated), but that doesn't mean I have enough confidence in my fluency to sign a contract written in it.
I've reverted my Patreon account to patron-only status and will no longer be accepting donations via Patreon. Having a Patreon was a good experiment and I'm glad I tried it; with this year's regression in US politics, I've decided that my limited time for activism should be spent primarily on things that aren't writing. I don't intend to stop writing blog posts, but I also don't intend to keep writing at a rate that justifies having a monthly Patreon account. In addition, I just passed my one-year anniversary working at [big company] as an engineer, and (unless something changes) don't have any immediate plans to leave. This both affects the amount of time/energy I have for writing, as well as my comfort level being paid regularly for my writing regardless of how much I produce.
It means more to me than I can say to have people recognize my work in this way, so if you supported me at some point during the past 13 months, thank you. If you're looking for other creators to support instead, I recommend Amy Dentata, Katherine Cross, Sarah Sharp, and Sophie Labelle (creator of the Assigned Male comic strip).
I believe that nobody will be charged for January, but if I'm wrong about that, I will donate all proceeds to charity (as I did for December).
I'll try not to do this every month, but October marked the first month of my experiment using Patreon. Thanks to the 24 people who supported me! You know who you are, although hopefully you also got a more detailed thank-you from me via Patreon (it's a little hard to tell if a message got sent).
This month, I wrote (here) about emotional labor in tech, and about cognitive liberation and bodily autonomy, thanks to the encouragement I received via your contributions. I'm planning a more ambitious post, or possibly series of posts, for the middle of November.
To everybody else: If you can afford to, and if you think I contribute at least as much to the Internet as ESR does, then how about supporting me in November?
After years of grumbling, I finally gave in and created a Tumblr account; I'm emotionallaborunion there.
As an experiment, I'm going to try posting some writing over there, since I like Tumblr's tagging and reblogging capabilities. I don't intend to abandon Dreamwidth.
Accordingly, go over to Tumblr if you want to read my thoughts on the Mountain Goats show in Dallas last night and the end of just-short-of-two weeks of following them on tour.
ETA: Cat-sitter found. Roadtripping with the kitties!
I'm looking for a Bay Area person to take care of my two adorable one-year-old cats (this is how adorable they are, though they're bigger now) in their home from 12/15-12/25 while I'm out of town for surgery. Can reciprocate in pet-sitting for your pets in the future, booze, money, baked goods, we'll figure something out.
And by "their home" I mean yours, since (understandably) nobody wanted to stay in my place (yurt in Los Gatos, or at least, I'll be moved into it before December) for ten days to pet-sit/yurt-sit. It's not a location that's going to be easy for anyone to get to twice a day, either.
If someone could help me out on a bartering or below-professional-pet-sitter-rate basis, that would be awesome, as I'll be paying to board the bunnies and I have plenty of expenses with traveling to Arizona for surgery and so on, all at once. Thanks!
I think it's time for me to institute a comment policy. I already had something like one on my user info page, but I'm not sure how many people look at that.
I like comments, especially those that disagree with me or challenge me to think further, as such comments encourage me to grow and learn. I don't like or need comments that undermine my narrative of my own experience or suggest, no matter how subtly, that I or my friends aren't fully human or shouldn't be treated equally to others; as abuse doesn't encourage me to grow and learn. This journal is heavily moderated; if you object to that, please seek out a different forum.
Refrain from phobic or discriminatory speech, or speech that (in the words of s.e. smith) suggests that "people don't deserve autonomy, dignity, and a place in society."
Refrain from comments that have the effect of silencing or derailing (see Derailing for Dummies for additional examples).
As a corollary, refrain from questioning the existence of privilege or systematic oppression. There are many resources available online and offline for learning about these issues.
Provide a name or pseudonym that reflects a consistent online presence (as opposed to so-called "throwaway" or "sockpuppet" identities).
My journal settings don't allow comments that are completely anonymous, but it's easy to set up an effectively anonymous account, though I'll still see your IP address. I do screen all comments from people not on my Dreamwidth access lists. The last rule isn't hard-and-fast, as there are good reasons for allowing anonymous comments. However, if you violate rule #1 and/or #2, and do it anonymously, I'm very unlikely to publish your comment. If you violate rules #1 or #2 repeatedly, I will ban your account from commenting.
Moderate comments from people not known to me.
Not publish your comment at all or delete it after it's been published.
Restrict comments for a particular post, or never allow them in the first place.
Modify these rules at any time.
This policy is adapted from Christie Koehler's comment policy.
I'll be posting all my stuff over here on Dreamwidth now, without crossposting.
If you don't have access to trusted-only posts here and think you should, let me know. If you have a LiveJournal account, you automatically have an OpenID account that you can use to read my posts here (without giving Dreamwidth anything but an email address). Here are instructions for that.
If you want me to be able to read and comment on your friends-only LiveJournal posts, you can add tim.dreamwidth.org as a friend there. However, I'm not really sure how often I'll be reading anything that's only on LiveJournal (until I find out about a way to read friends-only posts via an RSS aggregator or something along those lines).
After almost eight years of using LiveJournal, I think it's time to call it quits; since the DOS attack two days ago, I haven't been able to write new posts there or post comments on most journals, or change settings. I can't submit a support request there to ask what's going on since I can't seem to do anything that requires writing to the database. I was already leaning towards using Dreamwidth for everything, but this situation gave me the last bit of motivation I needed. Thanks, LiveJournal!
So I'll be making both public and friends-only posts here from now on. As a test, I've added the OpenID URLs for a few LiveJournal friends to my "circle" on this account. If I've added you, I'd appreciate it if you could try adding the OpenID URL http://tim.dreamwidth.org/ as a friend on the LJ side so I can figure out whether your posts will show up on my reading page here.
If you want to read my posts from the LJ side, you can add http://tim.dreamwidth.org/ as a friend. I'm not sure whether friends-only posts I make will show up on your friends list on LJ if I add you as a friend here. I'll make a friends-only post next in order to test that.
A reminder that if you have an OpenID account (like the one that you already have if you use LiveJournal), you have to log in to Dreamwidth first in order to leave comments on my posts (or anyone else's). With hope it should let you stay logged in so you don't have to do that any time. You also won't be able to comment unless you have a validated email address.
If you read my "other" journal on LJ, I haven't figured out what to do with that one yet, so stay tuned.
P.S. For some bizarre reason, the crossposter still works -- so that's the only way I can post to my LiveJournal account right now. If you have any questions about how the whole OpenID / Dreamwidth thing works, I'm happy to try to answer, though I may not understand it any better than you do.
then there's a chance I've removed you from my friends list. There shouldn't really be any surprises here, but if you have a problem, you know how to email me. You probably also know where my public-posting journal is, and are welcome to read and comment there.
I also removed deleted journals except for the one that I thought might be coming back.

Actually, by taking a look at the maps by the Times and The Guardian, I'd argue that Nelson's article and map obscure the fact that the some highly populated areas of Scotland were strongly in favor of remaining in the EU.
UPDATE: On Twitter, Neil Richards wrote: "Made long comment on your blog but it got swallowed up! One point: red/blue not perfect because of political connotations. But yellow also indicates third party SNP these days. Any divergent palettes that don't include red, blue or yellow? 2/2." I'd refer to ColorBrewer.


Hope is all around us this time of year. We all hope that something better will be around the next corner. The only thing we need to hope for is the presence of the Christ Child, and we need to recognize that the Lord, our God, is in our midst. We need to wait for the promise of peace, and to celebrate all that we have. Stephen McCutchan has written the main article this week with Thom Shuman writing another view. There are worship resources for Advent 4, Christmas Eve, and Christmas Day included as well as illustrations and a children's sermon. Merry Christmas to all!

Q: Regex can't catch space before quote I have a regex for catch illegal char (for specific API), looks like :
const regexIllegalChar: RegExp = new RegExp(
  `[^(\\w)(\\s)(\\')(\\.)(\\-)(\\/)(\\+)(\\=)(\\@)(\\_)(\\:)(\\,)(É)(È)(Ê)(Ë)(À)(Â)(Ä)(Ô)(Ö)(Û)(Ü)(Î)(Ï)]*`,
  'gi'
);

But when I type " with IOS tablet (the one looks like << ), a space is automatically added before or after (depend if opening or closing word), and this space is not catched.
Exemple :
foo bar => foobar : OK
foo"bar (manualy removed automatic space) => foo"bar : OK
foo "bar (manualy removed automatic space, and add a normal one) => foo"bar : OK
foo[automatic_space]"bar => foo[automatic_space]"bar : NOK

A: You can try whitelisting of legal characters instead of blacklisting illegal characters, this will catch the unknown character IOS is inserting in the text.
(str.match(/[a-z0-9_"]+/gi) || []).join('')

In January 2011, Jen and I went to the island of Maui in Hawaii. It was Jen's first time to the island. I had been there several times, starting back in the mid-1980's.
The plan was to give Jen a chance to see all areas of the island in eight days and seven nights. First a couple nights in the Lahaina / Kaanapali Coast area (tourism maximus). Then a couple nights on the northeast shore, with the drive to Hana thrown in. Then a couple nights in Wailea on the southwest coast (tourism most expensivus). Finally, a night in Upcountry Maui, with a trip to the summit of Haleakala thrown in.
For Jen's photos of Maui and other places, go to the Refractory Road Flickr site and Jennifer Robin Photography. The links are on the right.
We went to DT Fleming beach park. Obviously solid boogie boarding here (wish we had brought the boards). Also went to Black Rock in front of the Sheraton on Kaanapali Beach. The waves were a bit big today, but this is a staple for snorkeling and shallow diving (been diving here a couple times in past years).
Comments Off on Off to Maui…?
Well, Go! Mokulele airlines is jacked up today. Delayed flights. Cancelled flights. We drew the cancelled flight straw. Waiting to get word on when an how we are getting to Maui.
We are off to Maui. First Lahaina, then Hana, then Wailea, then Upcountry.

1That American Indian nations have survived into the 21st century should be an occasion for celebration, given how truly close Native America came to a total obliteration. A combination of disease, vicious colonial warfare and the use of education as a weapon to "kill the Indian, save the man" had by the beginning of the 19th century reduced the number of people in the United States willing to claim Native ancestry in the census to just 250,000. (There were, of course, many more, but Indian blood and cultural affiliation was seen as something to be denied by many). The power of what had been recognized as sovereign entities shrank through judicial decisions which reduced the status of Indians in the management of their own affairs and declared tribal peoples to be "dependent nations," a phrase that in manifest destiny ideology justified the continued breaking of treaties. Bad-faith negotiations brought the Indian land base down from much of the interior to limited and (mostly) poor quality reservation lands under governmental supervision. Tribal economies were pushed to adapt to an agrarian ideal under measures such as the Dawes Act which allocated pockets of land to individual Indians, breaking up communally occupied agricultural and hunting grounds. All five measures of the 1948 "United Nations Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide" were fulfilled by this treatment.
2In the twentieth century, US government decisions on Indian affairs were generally paternalistic in nature. The period up to the 1960s saw a hardening determination that tribal structures were incompatible with modernity, and a concomitant pressure on indigenous peoples to assimilate to whitestream society symbolized by the granting/imposition of American citizenship on all Indians in 1924. Termination, the general name for a group of policies designed to accomplish this goal, aimed to reduce Indian groupings from the status of sovereign nations with independent rights guaranteed under treaty to the status of voluntary ethnicity-based associations such as the Ancient Order of Hibernians. The failure of this set of policies and their resentment on the part of Indigenous Americans became clear by the end of the 1950's. At the same time, the appalling poverty in which the majority of Native people were living, both on reservations and in urban ghettos, made a compelling moral case for a renewal of the relationship between tribal governments, state legislatures and federal bodies, one that would take into account the debt legally and morally owed by the United States to the indigenous peoples of the continent.
4The results of these changes in status and future prospects have not been altogether positive. Reservation governments, whether in the minority of rich casino nations or the majority of poverty stricken tracts of unwanted land, often have problems with systemic corruption and abuse of power. A badly constructed patchwork of tribal, state and federal law enforcement has created areas that are poorly policed or not policed at all, with the result that violent crime and domestic abuse are both endemic and often unpunished. Rows over the definition of "Native American," often poisoned by blood quantum policies that require a certain level of Indian blood for citizenship and thus qualification for health and tax benefits, have brought about actions such as the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma's 2007 expulsion of the Freedmen (African Americans descended from slaves who had been owned by Cherokees) on racial grounds. Most of these problems, it will be noted, result from attempts to redefine the uneasy paracolonial relationship with the United States. At the same time, welfare dependency, widespread unemployment and endemic alcohol and drug abuse suggest the tremendous, maybe insurmountable, difficulties along the road to decolonization.
5In the books under review, four major Native American intellectuals set out to survey these changes and to suggest ways of rethinking Indian history and futurity with what Gerald Vizenor calls native "survivance," a survival that includes creative adaptation to modern circumstances. Though the authors have different tribal and disciplinary affiliations, not to mention differing or even opposed political viewpoints, nonetheless all four share a strong understanding of Indian communities as above all entities that have retained power over their own destinies and avoided becoming museum cultures. They each tackle the challenges and historical ironies mentioned above, suggesting ways for Native people to rethink the meaning and duties of citizenship. Naturally, this means that all are situated in the boundary between law, history and cultural theory, since Indian nations are made up of a combination of their history, their structure and their sense of shared identity. Notably, despite the genocidal histories and postcolonial ironies mentioned above, all end with a sense of hope for a future redefined through indigenous agency.
6Scott Richard Lyons orients his discussion around the titular "x-marks": the X's made by tribal representatives illiterate in English on treaties and other legal documents. Formally, these are "unreadable" – tribal discussions largely went unrecorded, and the absence of writing makes it difficult to reconstruct the intentions of those signing the documents. Lyons' reading of the x-mark suggests that it has perhaps been too easy and too convenient for both colonist and colonized to project this sign as a marker of ignorance and naiveté. Rather, he argues, we should recognize that there was a positive choice involved, a choice to enter into a new relationship with the United States, and "an assent to the new" (33). This refocusing allows him to sidestep two of the more common traps into which theorists of Native identity fall, neither positing Indian adoption of Euroamerican discourses as a tainted hybrid nor espousing a kitschy nostalgia for a precolonial utopia.
7Lyons uses the idea of Native assent to take a hard look at four of the most bitterly contested arenas in Native America today, namely identity, culture, nationalism and citizenship. He begins with a survivance anecdote, telling of how his 12-year-old daughter, mocked on a powwow night for looking white, silenced her attackers in fluent Ojibwemowin. From here, Lyons proceeds to survey the difficulties of overlapping and often mismatching definitions of Indian identity, from traditional kinship through biological race to modern citizenship. In sharp logical prose he dismembers not only the essentialists on all sides, but also those who feel that simply proclaiming race and identity to be "constructions" is enough. Social constructions, he reminds the reader, have great force in human affairs: nonetheless, he ultimately repudiates tradition as a definitional tool, instead arguing for radically inclusive ideas of identity. In both this and the following chapter he raises a banner against the idea of banishment (steadily increasing in popularity as a means of punishing tribal members) and attempts by tribal governments and self-appointed cultural leaders to control and shut down cultural diversity within Indian nations. The research here is wide-ranging and the arguments extremely sharp.
8It is the chapters on nationalism and citizenship that may cause more arguments. Literary nationalism, the movement begun by Jace Weaver, Robert Warrior and Craig Womack and now forming a substantial body of critical work within Native American Studies, takes the idea of the nation as central (as opposed to an older body of theory that read Native societies as marginal or as another "hyphenated American" identity). This has been a controversial notion, not least in its promotion of ethnic national identity in the context of decolonization. Lyons' review of this discourse is sensitive and his summary of the key insights of literary nationalism is superbly insightful. However, the chapter ultimately takes a difficult sitting-on-the-fence position, noting the positive uses of nationhood in the context of Negri's idea of Empire, while admitting unease in the way that cultural nationalists too frequently seem to justify the actions of culture cops. In the final chapter, however, his discussion of the relationship between citizenship, race and markers of cultural belonging such as language acquisition and traditional knowledge seems to me to go seriously awry. Lyons discusses the relationship between jus sanguinis and jus soli, which is absolutely essential to any prescription for Native nations, yet ends by endorsing the Israeli model of "levels of citizenship." This is the splitting of the rights of citizens into several layers according to their race and cultural literacy that has resulted in a quasi-apartheid "Jewish state" in Israel, and it is simply not enough for him to append a nod to Palestinian dispossession in a bracketed aside. If Lyons is truly endorsing the division of the ethnie and the nation according to (among other things) entrance exams, he may be putting forward a recipe for more, not less, of the evils that the rest of his book does so much to reveal.
9These interrelated concepts come in for a further interrogation in Steve Russell's Sequoyah Rising, a specialist discussion of the difficulty of governance and sovereignty in the post-colonial Cherokee nation that by virtue of Russell's breezy conversational style remains extremely readable and even enjoyable throughout. Russell, a judge by training, has a sure grasp of the democracy deficit that currently exists on many reservation nations, where corruption and nepotism abound. Although clear that much of the blame for this must lie with a combination of federal government attempts to destroy Native control over Native affairs and a colonial culture of welfare dependency, nonetheless Russell argues that the power to self-organize means that many of the solutions lie in Indian hands. A rights-based culture needs to be inscribed more firmly into tribal constitutions and enforced sharply through tribal courts, possibly through the creation of an Indian Rights Bill agreed among the nations.
10Russell considers the discourses that control Indian citizenship. He dismisses traditionalism as overly controlling, and argues that race-based criteria, whether the exclusive measure of blood quantum or the inclusive Cherokee criterion of direct descent, both ultimately rest on flawed assumptions and will result in cultural extinction. Avoiding the trap of advocating a particular model to fit all 800+ peoples, he nonetheless calls strongly for each Indian nation to assume the power to grant citizenship and to move away from race-based ideologies. Although he doesn't directly discuss the Cherokee Freedmen, it is not difficult to see the shadow of that particular tribal disgrace in this portion of the book.
11Although Russell's book is primarily a discussion of political and legal theory, his use of his own poetry in the discussion of "History as Prelude" shows the deep connections between cultural performance and historical resistance in American Indian cultures. This is brought to the fore in Sean Kicummah Teuton's Red Land, Red Power, a "literary nationalist" text which proposes to read the literature of the Native American Renaissance through the lens of the Red Power movement of the late 1960's and early 1970's. He argues that the essentialism of critics such as Paula Gunn Allen and the deconstructions of critics such as Gerald Vizenor both make it more difficult for scholars to describe Native cultures, the one through a challengeable assumption of broad pan-Indian stereotype, the other through a postmodern despair at the possibility of knowledge. Instead, Teuton proposes a "tribal realism," a form of epistemology that avoids easy assumptions in favour of determining a communally-produced knowledge of the "American Indian self." His theoretical moves here are deft and situated in a broader movement in postcolonial studies: more importantly, his readings of three central texts by Momaday, Welch and Silko succeeds in re-placing the political vision at the heart of each work. Teuton's insistence on paying attention to the moral implications of critical work, shown most clearly when in the chapter "Hearing the Callout" he situates his teaching of Native prisoners in a broader colonial context, is inspiring and leads to some of the most nuanced advocacy of American Indian nationalism yet produced. Inevitably, this means that there are occasional moments of ethnic boosterism (I would have liked a harder analysis of the reason that Native prisoners must be seen as victims of colonialism, for example), but these are exceptions in what is generally a hard-fought argument.
12Lyons calls Gerald Vizenor "perhaps the most ill-represented writer in nationalist discourse," and this certainly seems to be borne out by Teuton's lengthy and ill-advised attack on what seems to me to be a caricature of Vizenorean theory, which he describes as fundamentally unable to articulate political possibilities or support claims for justice (he ends the discussion with the phrase "Returning to American Indian political realities"). Teuton here ignores Vizenor's journalistic chronicling of half a century of Indian activism and his opposition to Native poseurs in favour of an account seemingly based on one Vizenor novel (Bearheart) and some of the earlier "trickster theory" texts. Certainly nobody who had read Trickster of Liberty attentively could dismiss Vizenor's fictions as "ahistorical" in the sense that Teuton means the term. Luckily, even a cursory examination of Vizenor's latest theoretical work, Native Liberty, puts to rest any idea of this complex writer as woolly, ungrounded, or lacking in praxis.
13Vizenor begins by situating the "chance" of his conception and upbringing, a "hybrid document, unnamable on delivery," at a moment when the Anishinaabe were still in danger of disappearing as a people, and retells the story of how his father was the victim of an unsolved homicide. He pays homage to the grandmother who, while living in the most difficult of circumstances, raised him with an appreciation of laughter and traditional culture. That resistance to giving in becomes his signature, but he cautions against a "Lo, the poor Indian" caricature, contrasting his own story with that of Holocaust survivors and pointing out that he and other modern Indians have basic freedoms and fundamental human rights denied billions of others around the world. He declares that giveaways, a central tradition in many tribes, need to be the model for a Native ethics – that generosity of spirit, rather than bewailing victimhood, should be the aim of sovereignty debates. This speaks to one of his many counterintuitive suggestions (made earlier but repeated here), that casino monies should be put to establishing Indian embassies to the United States, or to offering a space on tribal lands for the refugees and exiled peoples of the world.
14Such a suggestion shows the real difficulty for many of Vizenor's vision. His delicate, postmodern prose style, which liberates words into poetic phrases that require much re-reading, disguises a deeply tough-minded vision that requires as much of the descendants of the colonized as those of the colonizer. In the chapter on "Mercenary Sovereignty" he discusses two of the most finely-balanced issues in modern Native American affairs, namely the spread of gaming and the fight over the remains of Kennewick Man (a 9,000 year old skeleton that scientists were initially forbidden to study after a claim by the Umatilla Nation). In both cases, he shows how these cases arise from an undoubted good, namely tribal control over tribal affairs, and an undoubted evil, namely the history of US government attempts to control Native governments and bodies, and he even allows that the exercise of power in each case might serve the ideal of survivance. Yet he invokes Foucault's idea of truth games to show how in both cases the actions of Native governments serve the cause of colonial ideals – casinos are unable to challenge the brand identity (stereotyping) of Native nations, and the Umatilla lose their own history for dubious notions of spirituality.
15In the same mode, the central chapter of Native Liberty is aimed squarely at Euro-America's self-understanding. Vizenor's modest proposal is to establish genocide tribunals in American universities to place historical American figures on mock trial, in the manner of a student moot court, for the genocides of native peoples. Such an undertaking might educate Americans on the scale of the crimes committed in the course of building their nation, and Vizenor provides much support for allowing absent witnesses and dead defendants on the stand. The openly agonistic nature of trials would require higher standards of proof than hitherto for both sides, and would lead to a truth and justice reckoning with American history. Vizenor's proposal exposes the cowardice of America's repeated refusal to sign up for the International Criminal Court: however, he does not deal with the inevitable possibility that such a reckoning might be resisted on the grounds that perpetrators of genocidal actions in residential boarding schools are still alive. What makes this such a compelling idea is its simplicity and cost-effectiveness – it seems likely that a law school will rise to the challenge in the near future. Again, historically situated ethical accountability becomes Vizenor's rallying cry.
16Much of the rest of the volume is concerned with the relationship between aesthetics and ethics. Vizenor devotes entire chapters to Edward Curtis and (Anishinaabe artist) George Morrison, as well as explicating his theory of haiku and his reading of modern photographs as continuing in a tradition of "pictomyths." Vizenor claims culture as a central conduit for survival narrative, a re-fashioning of the world through art that must needs always bear history in mind ("Original, communal responsibility, greater than the individual, greater than original sin, but not accountability, animates the practice and consciousness of survivance").
17It will be observed that these four volumes make many of the same points about the moral and political challenges facing Native Americans today, and maintain the same faith in Native-authored solutions. It is unfortunate that Vizenor's book was composed too early to include his work on the proposed White Earth Constitution, which might be said to constitute his own (noticeably more inclusive) notion of Native citizenship. Nonetheless, it is noticeable that all four include an appeal for scholars and activists to link the current situation of American Indians with those of suffering peoples around the world, whether indigenous victims of empire, inheritors of genocide or those excluded by global capitalism. This perhaps points the way to future directions in scholarship. In the meantime, the strength of all four titles shows the ongoing success of Native intellectual survivance.

The Gujjar community on Friday began its agitation for five per cent reservation in state jobs and educational institutions.
As the Gujjar community members continued their sit-in protest on rail tracks in Rajasthan's Swai Madhopur district for the sixth consecutive day on Tuesday, pressing for their quota demand, the District Collector issued a notice to Gujjar leader Kirori Singh Bainsla, asking him to vacate railway tracks.
The protesters blocked the vital National Highway-11 connecting Agra and Jaipur with Delhi—the Golden Triangle tourist circuit.
Internet services have been shut in Sawai Madhopur district till Thursday in the wake of ongoing protests.
The blockade by Gujjar Arakshan Sangarsh Samiti chief Bainsla and his supporters has forced the West Central Railway (CWR) to divert, cancel or partially terminate nearly 200 trains in the last two days.
On Tuesday, three trains were cancelled and two diverted.
Bainsla said the community will continue their protest demanding 5 per cent reservation to the Gujjars, Raika-Rebari, Gadia Luhar, Banjara and Gadaria communities in government jobs and educational institutions, as promised by the government in its election manifesto.
While targeting the Central government, Bainsla also warned the Ashok Gehlot government in Rajasthan against doing anything to provoke the agitators.

\section{Introduction}

The classical exact solutions of Euclidean $SU(2)$ (anti)self-dual Yang-Mills
(SDYM) equation were intensively studied by pure mathematicians and
theoretical physicists in 1970s. The first BPST $1$-instanton solution
\cite{BPST} with $5$ moduli parameters was found in 1975. The CFTW k-instanton
solutions \cite{CFTW} with $5k$ moduli parameters were soon constructed, and
then the number of moduli parameters of the solutions for each homotopy class
$k$ was extended to $5k+4$ ($5$,$13$ for $k=1$,$2$) \cite{JR} based on the
conformal symmetry of massless pure YM equation. The complete solutions with
$8k-3$ moduli parameters for each $k$-th homotopy class were finally worked
out in 1978 by mathematicians ADHM \cite{ADHM} using theory in algebraic
geometry. Through an one to one correspondence between anti-self-dual
SU(2)-connections on $S^{4}$ and holomorphic vector bundles on $CP^{3}$, ADHM
converted the highly nontrivial anti-SDYM equations into a much more simpler
system of quadratic algebraic equations in quaternions. The explicit closed
form of the complete solutions for $k=2,3$ had been worked out \cite{CSW}.

There are many important applications of instantons to algebraic geometry and
quantum field theory. One important application of instantons in algebraic
geometry was the classification of four-manifolds \cite{5}. On the physics
side, the non-perturbative instanton effect in QCD resolved the $U(1)_{A}$
problem \cite{U(1)}. Another important application of YM instantons in quantum
field theory was the introduction of $\theta$- vacua \cite{the} in
nonperturbative QCD, which created the strong $CP$ problem.

In addition to $SU(2)$, the ADHM construction has been generalized to the
cases of $SU(N)$ SDYM and many other SDYM theories with compact Lie groups
\cite{CSW,JR2}. In this talk we are going to consider the classical solutions
of non-compact $SL(2,C)$ SDYM system. YM theory based on $SL(2,C)$ was first
discussed in 1970s \cite{WY,Hsu}. It was found that the complex $SU(2)$ YM
field configurations can be interpreted as the real field configurations in
$SL(2,C)$ YM theory. However, due to the non-compactness of $SL(2,C)$, the
Cartan-Killing form or group metric of $SL(2,C)$ is not positive definite.
Thus the action integral and the Hamiltonian of non-compact $SL(2,C)$ YM
theory may not be positve. Nevertheless, there are still important motivations
to study $SL(2,C)$ SDYM theory. For example, it was shown that the $4D$
$SL(2,C)$ SDYM equation can be dimensionally reduced to many important $1+1$
dimensional integrable systems \cite{Mason}, such as the KdV equation and the
nonlinear Schrodinger equation.

\section{SL(2,C) SDYM Equation}

We first briefly review the $SL(2,C)$ YM theory. It was shown that \cite{WY}
there are two linearly independent choices of $SL(2,C)$ group metric\newlin

\begin{equation}
g^{a}
\begin{pmatrix}
I & 0\\
0 & -I
\end{pmatrix}
,g^{b}
\begin{pmatrix}
0 & I\\
I & 0
\end{pmatrix}
\end{equation}
where $I$ is the $3\times3$ unit matrix. In general, we can choose
\begin{equation}
g=\cos\theta g^{a}+\sin\theta g^{b
\end{equation}
where $\theta$ = real constant. Note that the metric is not positive definite
due to the non-compactness of $SL(2,C).$ On the other hand, it was shown that
$SL(2,C)$ group can be decomposed such that \cite{Lee
\begin{equation}
SL(2,C)=SU(2)\cdot P,P\in H\newlin
\end{equation}
\newline where $SU(2)$ is the maximal compact subgroup of $SL(2,C)$, $P\in H$
(not a group) and $H=\{P|P$ is Hermitain, positive definite, and $detP=1\}$.
The parameter space of $H$ is a noncompact space $R^{3}$. The third homotopy
group is thus \cite{Lee
\begin{equation}
\pi_{3}[SL(2,C)]=\pi_{3}[S^{3}\times R^{3}]=\pi_{3}(S^{3})\cdot\pi_{3
(R^{3})=Z\cdot I=Z\newline\newlin
\end{equation}
\newline where $I$ is the identity group, and $Z$ is the integer
group.\newline\qquad On the other hand, Wu and Yang \cite{WY} have shown that
a complex $SU(2)$ gauge field is related to a real $SL(2,C)$ gauge field.
Starting from $SU(2)$ complex gauge field formalism, we can write down all the
$SL(2,C)$ field equations. Let
\begin{equation}
G_{\mu}^{a}=A_{\mu}^{a}+iB_{\mu}^{a
\end{equation}
and, for convenience, we set the coupling constant $g=1$. The complex field
strength is defined as
\begin{equation}
F_{\mu\nu}^{a}\equiv H_{\mu\nu}^{a}+iM_{\mu\nu}^{a},a,b,c=1,2,3
\end{equation}
where
\begin{align}
H_{\mu\nu}^{a}  &  =\partial_{\mu}A_{\nu}^{a}-\partial_{\nu}A_{\mu
^{a}+\epsilon^{abc}(A_{\mu}^{b}A_{\nu}^{c}-B_{\mu}^{b}B_{\nu}^{c}),\nonumber\\
M_{\mu\nu}^{a}  &  =\partial_{\mu}B_{\nu}^{a}-\partial_{\nu}B_{\mu
^{a}+\epsilon^{abc}(A_{\mu}^{b}B_{\nu}^{c}-A_{\mu}^{b}B_{\nu}^{c}),
\end{align}
then $SL(2,C)$ Yang-Mills equation can be written as
\begin{align}
\partial_{\mu}H_{\mu\nu}^{a}+\epsilon^{abc}(A_{\mu}^{b}H_{\mu\nu}^{c}-B_{\mu
}^{b}M_{\mu\nu}^{c})  &  =0,\nonumber\\
\partial_{\mu}M_{\mu\nu}^{a}+\epsilon^{abc}(A_{\mu}^{b}M_{\mu\nu}^{c}-B_{\mu
}^{b}H_{\mu\nu}^{c})  &  =0.
\end{align}
The $SL(2,C)$ SDYM equations ar
\begin{align}
H_{\mu\nu}^{a}  &  =\frac{1}{2}\epsilon_{\mu\nu\alpha\beta}H_{\alpha\beta
},\nonumber\\
M_{\mu\nu}^{a}  &  =\frac{1}{2}\epsilon_{\mu\nu\alpha\beta}M_{\alpha\beta}.
\label{self
\end{align}
The Yang-Mills Equation above can be derived from the following Lagrangia
\begin{equation}
L_{\theta}=\frac{1}{4}[F_{\mu\nu}^{i}]^{T}g_{ij}[F_{\mu\nu}^{j}]=\cos{\theta
}(\frac{1}{4}H_{\mu\nu}^{a}H_{\mu\nu}^{a}-\frac{1}{4}M_{\mu\nu}^{a}M_{\mu\nu
}^{a})+\sin{\theta}(\frac{1}{2}H_{\mu\nu}^{a}M_{\mu\nu}^{a}) \label{action
\end{equation}
where $F_{\mu\nu}^{k}=H_{\mu\nu}^{k}$ and $F_{\mu\nu}^{3+k}=M_{\mu\nu}^{k}$
for $k=1,2,3$. Note that $L_{\theta}$ is indefinite for any real value
$\theta$. We shall only consider the particular case for $\theta=0$ in this
talk, i.e.
\begin{equation}
L=\frac{1}{4}(H_{\mu\nu}^{a}H_{\mu\nu}^{a}-M_{\mu\nu}^{a}M_{\mu\nu}^{a}),
\end{equation}
for the action density in discussing the homotopic classifications of our solutions.

\section{Biquaternion construction of $SL(2,C)$ YM Instantons}

Instead of quaternion in the $Sp(1)$ ($=SU(2)$) ADHM construction, we will use
\textit{biquaternion} to construct $SL(2,C)$ SDYM instantons. A quaternion $x$
can be written a
\begin{equation}
x=x_{\mu}e_{\mu}\text{, \ }x_{\mu}\in R\text{, \ }e_{0}=1,e_{1}=i,e_{2
=j,e_{3}=k \label{x
\end{equation}
where $e_{1},e_{2}$ and $e_{3}$ anticommute and obe
\begin{align}
e_{i}\cdot e_{j}  &  =-e_{j}\cdot e_{i}=\epsilon_{ijk}e_{k};\text{
\ }i,j,k=1,2,3,\\
e_{1}^{2}  &  =-1,e_{2}^{2}=-1,e_{3}^{2}=-1.
\end{align}

A (ordinary) biquaternion (or complex-quaternion) $z$ can be written a
\begin{equation}
z=z_{\mu}e_{\mu}\text{, \ }z_{\mu}\in C,
\end{equation}
which will be used in this talk. Occasionally $z$ can be written a
\begin{equation}
z=x+yi
\end{equation}
where $x$ and $y$ are quaternions and $i=\sqrt{-1},$ not to be confused with
$e_{1}$ in Eq.(\ref{x}). For biquaternion, the biconjugation \cite{Ham
\begin{equation}
z^{\circledast}=z_{\mu}e_{\mu}^{\dagger}=z_{0}e_{0}-z_{1}e_{1}-z_{2
e_{2}-z_{3}e_{3}=x^{\dagger}+y^{\dagger}i,
\end{equation}
will be heavily used in this talk. In contrast to the real number norm square
of a quaternion, the norm square of a biquarternion used in this talk is
defined to b
\begin{equation}
|z|_{c}^{2}=z^{\circledast}z=(z_{0})^{2}+(z_{1})^{2}+(z_{2})^{2}+(z_{3})^{2
\end{equation}
which is a \textit{complex} number in general as a subscript $c$ is used in
the norm.

We are now ready to proceed the construction of $SL(2,C)$ instantons. We begin
by introducing the $(k+1)\times k$ biquarternion matrix $\Delta(x)=a+bx

\begin{equation}
\Delta(x)_{ab}=a_{ab}+b_{ab}x,\text{ }a_{ab}=a_{ab}^{\mu}e_{\mu},b_{ab
=b_{ab}^{\mu}e_{\mu} \label{ab
\end{equation}
where $a_{ab}^{\mu}$ and $b_{ab}^{\mu}$ are complex numbers, and $a_{ab}$ and
$b_{ab}$ are biquarternions. The biconjugation of the $\Delta(x)$ matrix is
defined to b
\begin{equation}
\Delta(x)_{ab}^{\circledast}=\Delta(x)_{ba}^{\mu}e_{\mu}^{\dagger
=\Delta(x)_{ba}^{0}e_{0}-\Delta(x)_{ba}^{1}e_{1}-\Delta(x)_{ba}^{2
e_{2}-\Delta(x)_{ba}^{3}e_{3}.
\end{equation}

In contrast to the of $SU(2)$ instantons, the quadratic condition of $SL(2,C)$
instantons read

\begin{equation}
\Delta(x)^{\circledast}\Delta(x)=f^{-1}=\text{symmetric, non-singular }k\times
k\text{ matrix for }x\notin J\text{,} \label{ff
\end{equation}
from which\ we can deduce that $a^{\circledast}a,b^{\circledast
a,a^{\circledast}b$ and $b^{\circledast}b$ are all symmetric matrices. We
stress here that it will turn out the choice of \textit{biconjugation}
operation is crucial for the follow-up discussion in this work. On the other
hand, for $x\in J,$ $\det\Delta(x)^{\circledast}\Delta(x)=0$. The set $J$ is
called singular locus or "jumping lines" in the mathematical literatures and
was discussed in \cite{LLT}. In contrast to the $SL(2,C)$ instantons, there
are no jumping lines for the case of $SU(2)$ instantons. In the $Sp(1)$
quaternion case, the symmetric condition on $f^{-1}$ means $f^{-1}$ is real.
For the $SL(2,C)$ biquaternion case, however, it can be shown that symmetric
condition on $f^{-1}$ implies $f^{-1}$ is \textit{complex}.

To construct the self-dual gauge field, we introduce a $(k+1)\times1$
dimensional biquaternion vector $v(x)$ satisfying the following two condition
\begin{align}
v^{\circledast}(x)\Delta(x)  &  =0,\label{null}\\
v^{\circledast}(x)v(x)  &  =1. \label{norm2
\end{align}
Note that $v(x)$ is fixed up to a $SL(2,C)$ gauge transformatio
\begin{equation}
v(x)\longrightarrow v(x)g(x),\text{ \ \ }g(x)\in\text{ }1\times1\text{
Biquaternion}.
\end{equation}
Note also that in general a $SL(2,C)$ matrix can be written in terms of a
$1\times1$ biquaternion a
\begin{equation}
g=\frac{q_{\mu}e_{\mu}}{\sqrt{q^{\circledast}q}}=\frac{q_{\mu}e_{\mu}
{|q|_{c}}.
\end{equation}
The next step is to define the gauge fiel

\begin{equation}
G_{\mu}(x)=v^{\circledast}(x)\partial_{\mu}v(x), \label{A
\end{equation}
which is a $1\times1$ biquaternion. Note that, unlike the case for $Sp(1)$,
$G_{\mu}(x)$ needs not to be anti-Hermitian.

We can now define the $SL(2,C)$ field strength
\begin{equation}
F_{\mu\nu}=\partial_{\mu}G_{\nu}(x)+G_{\mu}(x)G_{\nu}(x)-[\mu
\longleftrightarrow\nu].
\end{equation}
To show that $F_{\mu\nu}$ is self-dual, one first show that the operator
\begin{equation}
P=1-v(x)v^{\circledast}(x)
\end{equation}
is a projection operator $P^{2}=P$, and can be written in terms of $\Delta$ a

\begin{equation}
P=\Delta(x)f\Delta^{\circledast}(x). \label{P
\end{equation}
The self-duality of $F_{\mu\nu}$ can now be proved as following

$\bigskip
\begin{align}
F_{\mu\nu}  &  =\partial_{\mu}(v^{\circledast}(x)\partial_{\nu
v(x))+v^{\circledast}(x)\partial_{\mu}v(x)v^{\circledast}(x)\partial_{\nu
}v(x)-[\mu\longleftrightarrow\nu]\nonumber\\
&  =v^{\circledast}(x)b(e_{\mu}e_{\nu}^{\dagger}-e_{\nu}e_{\mu}^{\dagger
})fb^{\circledast}v(x) \label{F
\end{align}
where we have used Eqs.(\ref{ab}),(\ref{null}) and (\ref{P}). Finally the
factor $(e_{\mu}e_{\nu}^{\dagger}-e_{\nu}e_{\mu}^{\dagger})$ above can be
shown to be self-dua
\begin{align}
\sigma_{\mu\nu}  &  \equiv\frac{1}{4i}(e_{\mu}e_{\nu}^{\dagger}-e_{\nu}e_{\mu
}^{\dagger})=\frac{1}{2}\epsilon_{\mu\nu\alpha\beta}\sigma_{\alpha\beta
},\label{duall}\\
\overset{\_}{\sigma}_{\mu\nu}  &  =\frac{1}{4i}(e_{\mu}^{\dagger}e_{\nu
}-e_{\nu}^{\dagger}e_{\mu})=-\frac{1}{2}\epsilon_{\mu\nu\alpha\beta
}\overset{\_}{\sigma}_{\alpha\beta}.
\end{align}
This proves the self-duality of $F_{\mu\nu}.$ We thus have constructed many
$SL(2,C)$ SDYM field configurations.

To count the number of moduli parameters for the $SL(2,C)$ $k$-instantons we
have constructed , one uses transformations which preserve conditions
Eq.(\ref{ff}), Eq.(\ref{null}) and Eq.(\ref{norm2}), and the definition of
$G_{\mu}$ in Eq.(\ref{A}) to bring $b$ and $a$ in Eq.(\ref{ab}) into a simple
canonical for

\begin{equation}
b
\begin{bmatrix}
0_{1\times k}\\
I_{k\times k
\end{bmatrix}
, \label{b
\end{equation}

\begin{equation}
a
\begin{bmatrix}
\lambda_{1\times k}\\
-y_{k\times k
\end{bmatrix}
\label{a
\end{equation}
where $\lambda$ and $y$ are biquaternion matrices with orders $1\times k$ and
\ $k\times k$ respectively, and $y$ is symmetri

\begin{equation}
y=y^{T}.
\end{equation}
The constraints for the moduli parameters ar
\begin{equation}
a_{ci}^{\circledast}a_{cj}=0,i\neq j,\text{ and \ }y_{ij}=y_{ji}. \label{dof
\end{equation}
The total number of moduli parameters for $k$-instanton can be calculated
through Eq.(\ref{dof}) to b
\begin{equation}
\text{\# of moduli for }SL(2,C)\text{ }k\text{-instantons}=16k-6,
\end{equation}
which is twice of that of the case of $Sp(1).$ Roughly speaking, there are
$8k$ parameters for instanton "biquaternion positions" and $8k$ parameters for
instanton "sizes". Finally one has to subtract an overall $SL(2,C)$ gauge
group degree of freesom $6.$ This picture will become more clear when we give
examples of explicit constructions of $SL(2,C)$ instantons in the next section.

\section{Examples of $SL(2,C)$ instantons and Jumping lines}

In this section, we will explicitly construct examples of $SL(2,C)$ YM
instantons to illustrate our prescription given in the last section. Example
of $SL(2,C)$ instantons with jumping lines will also be given.

\subsection{The $SL(2,C)$ $(M,N)$ Instantons}

In this first example, we will reproduce from the ADHM construction the
$SL(2,C)$ $(M,N)$ instanton solutions constructed in \cite{Lee}. We choose the
biquaternion $\lambda_{j}$ in Eq.(\ref{a}) to be $\lambda_{j}e_{0}$ with
$\lambda_{j}$ a \textit{complex} number, and choose $y_{ij}=y_{j}\delta_{ij}$
to be a diagonal matrix with $y_{j}=y_{j\mu}e_{\mu}$ a quaternion. That i

\begin{equation}
\Delta(x)
\begin{bmatrix}
\lambda_{1} & \lambda_{2} & ... & \lambda_{k}\\
x-y_{1} & 0 & ... & 0\\
0 & x-y_{2} & ... & 0\\
. & ... & ... & ...\\
0 & 0 & ... & x-y_{k
\end{bmatrix}
, \label{delta
\end{equation}
which satisfies the constraint in Eq.(\ref{dof}). One can calculate the gauge
potential a
\begin{align}
G_{\mu}  &  =v^{\circledast}\partial_{\mu}v=\frac{1}{4}[e_{\mu}^{\dagger
}e_{\nu}-e_{\nu}^{\dagger}e_{\mu}]\partial_{\nu}\ln(1+\frac{\lambda_{1}^{2
}{|x-y_{1}|^{2}}+...+\frac{\lambda_{k}^{2}}{|x-y_{k}|^{2}})\nonumber\\
&  =\frac{1}{4}[e_{\mu}^{\dagger}e_{\nu}-e_{\nu}^{\dagger}e_{\mu
]\partial_{\nu}\ln(\phi)
\end{align}
where
\begin{equation}
\phi=1+\frac{\lambda_{1}^{2}}{|x-y_{1}|^{2}}+...+\frac{\lambda_{k}^{2
}{|x-y_{k}|^{2}}. \label{fai
\end{equation}
For the case of $Sp(1),$ $\lambda_{j}$ is a real number and $\lambda
_{j}\lambda_{j}^{\dagger}=\lambda_{j}^{2}$ is a real number. So $\phi$ in
Eq.(\ref{fai}) is a complex-valued function in general. If we choose $k=1$ and
define $\lambda_{1}^{2}=\frac{\alpha_{1}^{2}}{1+i},$ the
\begin{equation}
\phi=1+\frac{\frac{\alpha_{1}^{2}}{1+i}}{|x-y_{1}|^{2}}.
\end{equation}
The gauge potential i
\begin{align}
G_{\mu}  &  =\frac{1}{4}[e_{\mu}^{\dagger}e_{\nu}-e_{\nu}^{\dagger}e_{\mu
}]\partial_{\nu}\ln(1+\frac{\frac{\alpha_{1}^{2}}{1+i}}{|x-y_{1}|^{2}
)=\frac{1}{4}[e_{\mu}^{\dagger}e_{\nu}-e_{\nu}^{\dagger}e_{\mu}]\partial_{\nu
}\ln(1+\frac{\alpha_{1}^{2}}{|x-y_{1}|^{2}}+i)\nonumber\\
&  =\frac{1}{2}[e_{\mu}^{\dagger}e_{\nu}-e_{\nu}^{\dagger}e_{\mu
]\frac{-\alpha_{1}^{2}(x-y_{1})_{\nu}}{|x-y_{1}|^{4}+(|x-y_{1}|^{2}+\alpha
_{1}^{2})^{2}}[\frac{|x-y_{1}|^{2}+\alpha_{1}^{2}}{|x-y_{1}|^{2}}-i]
\end{align}
which reproduces the $SL(2,C)$ $(M,N)=(1,0)$ solution calculated in
\cite{Lee}. It is easy to generalize the above calculations to the general
$(M,N)$ cases, and it can be shown that the topological charge of these field
configuations is $k=M+N$ \cite{Lee}.

\subsection{$SL(2,C)$ CFTW $k$-instantons and jumping lines}

For another subset of $k$-instanton field configurations, one chooses
$\lambda_{i}=\lambda_{i}e_{0}$ (with $\lambda_{i}$ a \textit{complex }number)
and$\ y_{i}$ to be a \textit{biquaternion} in Eq.(\ref{delta}). It is
important to note that for these choices, the constraints in Eq.(\ref{dof})
are still satisfied \textit{without} turning on the off-diagonal elements
$y_{ij}$ in Eq.(\ref{a}). It can be shown that, for these field
configurations, there are non-removable singularities which are zeros ($x\in
J$ ) o
\begin{equation}
\phi=1+\frac{\lambda_{1}\lambda_{1}^{\circledast}}{|x-y_{1}|_{c}^{2
}+...+\frac{\lambda_{k}\lambda_{k}^{\circledast}}{|x-y_{k}|_{c}^{2}},
\label{k
\end{equation}
o
\begin{equation}
\det\Delta(x)^{\circledast}\Delta(x)=|x-y_{1}|_{c}^{2}|x-y_{2}|_{c}^{2
\cdot\cdot\cdot|x-y_{k}|_{c}^{2}\phi=P_{2k}(x)+iP_{2k-1}(x)=0. \label{jump
\end{equation}
For the $k$-instanton case, one encounters intersections of zeros of
$P_{2k}(x)$ and $P_{2k-1}(x)$ polynomials with degrees $2k$ and $2k-1$
respectivel
\begin{equation}
P_{2k}(x)=0,\text{ \ }P_{2k-1}(x)=0. \label{pp
\end{equation}
These new singularities can not be gauged away and do not show up in the field
configurations of $SU(2)$ $k$-instantons. Mathematically, the existence of
singular structures of the non-compact $SL(2,C)$ SDYM field configurations is
consistent with the inclusion of "sheaves" by Frenkel-Jardim \cite{math2}
recently, rather than just the restricted notion of "vector bundles", in the
one to one correspondence between ASDYM and certain algebraic geometric objects.

Q: C# Regex Issue "unrecognized escape sequence" I have an issue with the regular expressions I'm using but don't know how to continue with them. I get the error "unrecognized escape sequence".
I am trying to list out all files that could have a phone number in the formats listed in the code below
static void Main(string[] args)

    {
        //string pattern1 = "xxx-xxx-xxxx";
        //string pattern2 = "xxx.xxx.xxxx";
        //string pattern3 = "(xxx) xxx-xxxx";

        string[] fileEntries = Directory.GetFiles(@"C:\BTISTestDir");

        foreach (string filename in fileEntries)
        {
            StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(filename);
            string content = reader.ReadToEnd();
            reader.Close();

            string regexPattern1 = "^(\d{3}\.){2}\d{4}$";
            string regexPattern2 = "^((\(\d{3}\) ?)|(\d{3}-))?\d{3}-\d{4}$";

            if(Regex.IsMatch(content, regexPattern1))
                Console.WriteLine("File found: " + filename);
            if(Regex.IsMatch(content, regexPattern2))
                Console.WriteLine("File found: " + filename);
        }

        Console.WriteLine(Environment.NewLine + "Finished");
        Console.ReadLine();
    }

Any help is much appreciated.

A: Add an additional '\' to unescape the escape.  When it's processed it will then be interpreted in the manner you intended.

A: Use @ to make the strings no longer use the escape character \:
string regexPattern1 = @"^(\d{3}\.){2}\d{4}$";
string regexPattern2 = @"^((\(\d{3}\) ?)|(\d{3}-))?\d{3}-\d{4}$";

As a side note, I think you want the two ifs at the end to be a single if with an or (||) between the two conditions.

A: The problem is not the regex, but the string. Before compiling it to a regex with the call to IsMatch(), the text you enter is still a normal string and it must obey the language rules.
\d in your language is not a recognized escape sequence, hence the error. You can either double backslashes (\ is the escape sequence to get a ) or, as Blindy pointed out, you can prefix your constant strings with a @, telling the compiler that it should not try to interpret anything looking like an escape sequence to it.

McRoberts' hip-hop team is being dubbed a "mega crew" and they'll be breaking it down fresh with some mega moves at the Notorious Dance Competiton March 3 at McRoberts secondary.
It's being dubbed a "mega crew" and they'll be breaking it down fresh with some mega moves at the Notorious Dance Competiton March 3 at McRoberts secondary.
This urban hip-hop dance competition features more than 25 student teams from across the Lower Mainland, including the McRoberts crew, made up of 20, Grade 8-12 students, many of whom are straight out of Moncton.
Now in its fifth year, organizers expect next Friday's event to be the biggest and tickets are nearly sold-out.
Notorious is an example of how students, teachers and community members at large have fostered one element of the arts, and as such is a key event for Education Week at the Richmond School District.
Choreographer Rhea Casido said the audience is in for a thrill as the McRoberts team includes dancers from all grades.
"Some are new to dance, but they want to dance so it's not hard to get them moving," said Casido.
They will be whacking, hustling, popping, breaking and more, as they perform to both new and classic hip-hop beats.
"The audience is going to expect to see a high-energy event where you'll see teams that have worked so hard over the past year to create these amazing routines and showcase them in front of a huge crowd. They'll see the passion," said Casido, a 24-year-old aspiring actress, who partnered with co-choreographer Mica Cobarubia, 21, to stage the performance.
This will be Jayne Vos' first Notorious performance.
"I love dance and want to pursue it as a career. It's the only school team I'll join because I'm horrible at sports," said Grade 8 student Vos.
Horrible at sports? Not so fast. Hip-hop is much like a sport, if not a sport in its own right. It requires diligent practice, incredible physical talent, and, in the case of Notorious, lots of teamwork.
Casido is in the midst of introducing a new freestyle-focused program.
In turn, keeping things fresh keeps the audience coming back for more.
Changing things up is also important to keeping up with how the music changes, as Notorious ebbs and flows with pop culture.
"People like to throw in a lot of pop culture references, throw in a few jokes, include different songs, including throwbacks," said Casido.
Popular amongst the kids is pop singer Ariana Grande, one of Christa Chiu's favourites.
Grade 9 Chiu said Notorious gives her an opportunity she can't find anywhere else in the school district.
"I was interested in dance and it was, like, something new that I could try. In elementary school, there wasn't a dance opportunity," said Chiu, who performed ballet in early childhood.


Apple sold 2.3 million Macs and 22.1 million iPods during the holiday shopping season, helping the company turn a $1.58-billion profit during its fiscal first quarter. The Mac totals mark the third consecutive quarter that Apple has set a quarterly sales record for its desktops and laptops.
For the quarter ended December 31, Apple reported a profit of $1.76 a share on revenue of $9.6 billion. Earnings per share rose 54 percent over the year-ago quarter, while revenue rose 35 percent.
Apple's quarterly earnings beat the estimates of Wall Street analysts. According to Thomson Financial, analysts expected Apple to earn $1.62 a share on sales of $9.47 billion.
In reporting its $1.58 billion profit, Apple said it shipped 2,319,000 Macs, representing 44-percent unit growth and 47-percent revenue growth over the year-ago quarter. Sales of Mac hardware, software, and services made up 47 percent of Apple's total quarterly revenue.
Apple CFO Peter Oppenheimer described Mac sales as "very robust" with desktop sales seeing 53-percent year-over-year growth, fueled by the revamped iMacs Apple introduced in August. Sales of portable Macs rose 38 percent from the year-ago quarter.
"The Macintosh business is on fire," Apple chief operating officer Tim Cook told analysts during a conference call to discuss the company's earnings.
Apple reported $170 million in revenue from its Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard update, released in October. Oppenheimer described that figure as a "significant increase" from the $100 million in sales OS X 10.4 saw during the first quarter of its release. The company estimates that 19 percent of its installed base is already using the 10.5 update.
Apple also sold 22,121,000 iPods during the quarter, also a record. The quarterly sales figures represented 5-percent unit growth and 17-percent revenue growth over the 2007 first quarter.
Those iPod sales represented the first full quarter of sales since Apple overhauled its iPod line in September, introducing a video-capable iPod nano, the high-capacity iPod classic, and the brand-new iPod touch. Apple says the iPod's market share remained consistent from a year ago.
Oppenheimer suggested that despite slowing growth in iPod sales, Apple's technical advancement of the iPod product line will keep stoking product demand. "We believe one of the iPod's future directions is to become the first mainstream Wi-Fi mobile platform," Oppenheimer said.
Quarterly iPhone sales were 2,315,000 units. Steve Jobs said at last week's Macworld Expo keynote that the company has sold 4 million iPhones since the device launched on June 29. Oppenheimer confirmed Apple still plans to bring the iPhone to Asia in 2008 as well as introduce the phone to additional countries in Europe; besides the U.S., the iPhone currently sells in the U.K., Germany, and France.
Oppenheimer said Apple recognized total revenue of $241 million from the iPhone during the fiscal first quarter. Total deferred revenue for the iPhone was $1.4 billion, compared to $636 million at the end of the September quarter.
International sales accounted for 45 percent of the quarter's revenue, the company said.
Looking ahead to the second fiscal quarter, Oppenheimer said he expected revenue of about $6.8 billion and earnings per diluted share of about 94 cents. Analysts had predicted Apple would report earnings of $1.09 per share on revenue of $6.98 billion for the second quarter. Oppenheimer attributed the lowered expectations to seasonal slowdowns, though he pointed out to analysts on a conference call that Apple's projected second-quarter revenue would still be a 29-percent increase over second-quarter sales from the 2007 fiscal year.
Apple's stock finished down $5.72 or 3.54 percent at $155.64. In after hours trading the stock has fallen $14.64 or 9.41 percent to $141.00.
Update: added more detailed information on the quarter's sales and profit numbers.
Update 2: added more detail on Mac sales and OS X 10.5 adoption.
Update 3: added more detail on iPod sales.

Q: Add a pause between loops of an animation I've got this animation that I want to add a pause in between its loops / iterations. I've tried doing it with animation-delay but that of course only applies for the first iteration. Now I've set the animation to take up 3s to make it a bit slower and not spam as much but It would be neat with a pause in between. Any ideas on how to best achieve this?
This is the code:
.--bounce {
