No. God wants us to come to Him in humility and confess our sins to Him and then repent-turn away-from our sins. He does not want us to change and perfect ourselves and then go to Him. He wants us to go to Him so that He can help us change. The Bible says, "Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need" (Hebrews 4:16).

Abba, You know our hearts. These past few days of reflecting upon where I am in my relationship with You has left me recognizing that I have SO, SO far to go!
I am very grateful that You are merciful in addition to being righteous.
I am grateful that You love us so much that You were willing to pay the price to keep us from being separated from You forever.
I am grateful that You are faithful to forgive us our sins when we ask with repentant hearts.
I am grateful that You give us the ability to turn from our sins.
I am grateful that You never allow us to be tempted without providing a way of escape.

Q: Custom Validator to MultipartFile I'm trying to build a custom validator to check a MultipartFile using Spring Validator,  but I'm facing this issue :
 An Errors/BindingResult argument is expected to be declared immediately after the model attribute, the @RequestBody or the @RequestPart arguments to which they apply: public org.springframework.web.context.request.async.DeferredResult br.com.mobtrack.api.resource.CityResource.uploadImage(org.springframework.web.multipart.MultipartFile,org.springframework.validation.BindingResult)

This is my Validator class:
@Component
public class MultipartFileValidator implements Validator{

    @Override
    public boolean supports(Class<?> aClass) {
        return MultipartFile.class.isAssignableFrom(aClass);
    }

    @Override
    public void validate(Object o, Errors errors) {
        MultipartFile file = (MultipartFile) o;
       if (file == null || file.isEmpty()){
           errors.reject("image","send a valid image. );
       }
    }
}

This is my RestController :
 @PostMapping("/image")
    public DeferredResult<String> uploadImage(@Valid MultipartFile image, BindingResult result) {

        if (result.hasErrors()) {
            throw new ImageNotFoundException("test");
        } else {
            DeferredResult<String> deferredResult = new DeferredResult<>();

            Thread thread = new Thread(new ImageStorageRunnable(image, deferredResult, imageStorage));
            thread.start();
            return deferredResult;
        }
    }

A:
"BindingResult argument is expected to be declared immediately after the model attribute, the @RequestBody or the @RequestPart arguments to which they apply"

It has nothing to do with the validator.  It appears to be with the controller.
It seems to be telling you the issue.  You need to using the @RequestBody or the @RequestPart annotations to tell it where to look for the data to bind.

Upon graduating from high school, Billy Mitchell thought he would simply follow his friends and family into working at one of the local manufacturing plants that were beginning to pop up all over north Alabama. But during a routine physical for employment at a plant, it was discovered that Billy's heart was not healthy enough to be hired as a plant worker.
Through his faith, determination and a strong work ethic he was able to find a career in jewelry. Now in his 5th decade in the jewelry business, Billy has seen his career take him from a bench jeweler at one of the local stores in Moulton to watch repair teacher for a local college to owning his own store for over 30 years. "I was fortunate to work with and learn a lot from many great people over the years in the jewelry business" you can still hear Billy say in his store located just outside of Moulton, AL.
In 1969, Billy began to sell jewelry from his family home where he raised his children, Sonya & Mylan. Over the years word would spread that you could find great selections and prices on jewelry out in the country in Lawrence County. With the help of his wife Peggy, the business grew and it was finally time for Billy to open a full time store.
In 1979, the store's current location was built adjacent to the family home located on Diamond Hollow Farm which was named by his daughter Sonya.
With every business, not all plans go accordingly. Even through his fight with cancer in 2001, the jewelry store continued to grow thanks to the help of his staff and family.
In 1999, his son Mylan joined the staff full time. As his father did, Mylan began his career as a bench jeweler and now serves as vice president of the corporation. In 2007, Billy was joined in the store with his son-in-law Stephen Kilpatrick.
Now in its fifth decade, Billy Mitchell Jewelry continues to provide for its customers one of the largest selection of diamonds, gemstones, watches and gold jewelry. Coupled with a friendly service oriented staff with on site jewelers, we look forward to continuing to meet our customers' needs for their jewelry needs.


I was cycling with my son out through the lanes of the Deben peninsula. We had cycled about fifteen miles, with some six still to go, and quite frankly he was ready for a rest. I wanted to visit Falkenham church, and this is near the end of a lane leading from the nearby village of Kirton, and so I left him sitting on the verge at the quiet crossroads, eating an apple and getting his breath back, while I cycled on. The tower of St Ethelbert appeared occasionally over the roof tops ahead, but disappeared as I came closer, screened as the church is by large trees and the old houses of the village street.
It was some five years since I had been here, but nothing at all seemed to have changed. This church, which, apart from its tower, is mainly early 19th century in appearance, has a delectable setting at the end of the village. The tower is splendid, and dates from the early 15th century. There is a spectacular array of shields above the west door, for those of you who like that kind of thing. The centre shield shows the arms of England, which Mortlock identifies as those first used in 1405. The west window is Victorian, but the bell windows are original.
The nave and chancel were in a very bad state of repair after the trauma of the Reformation, and in the early 19th century the remains of the chancel were swept away. The nave was encased in brick which has since been rendered. A peculiar apse was built at the east end, looking odder without than from within. Another unusual feature is the stairway that leads from within the tower arch to what must have been a gallery.
The interior is that of an early Victorian church. The wide nave has a medieval hammerbeam roof, and the reredos is probably Flemish; part of it comes from an ancient chest. I liked very much the way that the narrow lancets of 19th century coloured glass on either side of the sanctuary filled it with glowing light, an almost theatrical effect.
A curiosity, and once a much more common sight, is the table proclaiming the Succession of Bishops from the Apostles to the Present Time, a period piece of early 20th century Anglican propaganda intended to convince the reader of the Catholicity of the Church of England. At one time, this was a topic of some controversy, eagerly debated. All in all, this is a curious building, rather lovely if not particularly dramatic or outstandingly interesting. It is a reminder that every Suffolk church is different, but that some are more different than others.
From the map, it appears that it should be a remote church, set as it is down a narrow lane towards the Deben estuary, like nearby Hemley. In fact, Falkenham and the bigger Kirton straggle into each other, and they are almost outer-Felixstowe suburbia. Only a few fields and the A14 separate them from the large housing estates of Trimley and Walton.
But you leave that all behind when you enter the churchyard of St Ethelbert, into the shadows of the large lime trees and Victorian houses. And beyond the church, beyond the village, there is a view across the Deben estuary to Ramsholt on the far shore, several miles away, the pub and the church and the marshes between, and the low hills beyond. It is one of the loveliest views I know in Suffolk.


Today I made Ricotta Wheat Pie, a traditional Neapolitan recipe. I had earmarked it a long time ago but never got to it because it seemed quite involved. It was.
Not counting the components of each, I used 16 kitchen tools and gadgets: a pot to cook the wheat berries, a cooking spoon, a small food processor, a blender, two bowls, an egg separator, two spatulas, a small kitchen knife, a pastry roller, a plastic container to chill the dough, a cookie press, a scoop, a jelly roll pan, and a cake pan. Plus two disposables: a sheet each of wax paper and aluminum foil. If the citron and orange peel had not been so dried out, I would have been able to avoid using the blender but only its ice crush function could chop them up. And, if I had had more time, I could have cooled the wheat in the pot instead of spreading it on a jelly roll pan and set it over ice packs to speed up the process. Even discounting those two, it's a lot of dirty dishes for one pie. Counting the time I spent on this, the gas for the stove, the electricity for the oven, the hot water to wash all those dishes, and… it would have been probably more economical and ecological to drive into town and buy a cake. But it would have certainly not been the type of cake I would want to eat! And, most importantly, I would not have had so much fun (despite the cleaning up). I also finally got the cookie press to work that I bought years ago and, it turned out, I had always screwed together the wrong way.
In 2010, the average American according to The New York Times watched 34 hours of TV every week. That's baking 8.5 pies like this if you allocate a generous 4 hours active time from start to finish. I rarely watch TV and rather bake.
Seeing the pie cooling on the counter and smelling it all over the house gives me great satisfaction. If it tastes as good as expected and my family likes it, even better.
1. For the crust, put the flour and sugar in a food processor and process to a coarse meal. Add diced butter, shortening and egg and process until the dough forms a ball around the blade. Transfer the dough to a container and refrigerate.
2. For the filling put the wheat berries in a small heavy pot with 4 cups water and the butter. Bring to the boil, then turn down the heat and simmer, covered, for about 2½ hours. Check for water and stir once in a while to make sure it does not cook dry.
3. Drain the wheat berries and return them to the pot. Zest half of the lemon in one large strip and add it to the pot with the milk, the cinnamon and 1½ tablespoons sugar. Bring to the boil, then turn down the heat and cook, uncovered, for 45 minutes until the milk has been completely absorbed. Stir often to make sure it does not scorch, and reduce the heat even further as necessary.
4. Roll out three-quarters of the dough on a sheet of wax paper to fit a greased 10-inch cake pan plus dough to come up almost all the way up the edges. Fit it into the cake pan and even out the edges with a knife. Roll out the rest of the dough and cut narrow strips for a crisscross pattern, or use a cookie cutter / cookie press to cut out shapes to your liking. Place them on a plate lined with the wax paper and put everything in the freezer. 5. Remove the lemon peel from the wheat berries and let cool.
7. Finely zest the rest of the lemon. Put it in the food processor together with the orange flower water, diced citron, orange peel, 1 cup sugar and ricotta and process until the citron and orange peel are finely chopped.
8. Separate the eggs and add the egg yolks to the mix. Beat the egg whites until stiff.
9. Mix the cooled wheat berries with the ricotta mix. Fold in the stiff egg whites. Pour the filling into the prepared crust.
10. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. After this time, the filling should be set enough to the top crust won't sink. Carefully remove the cake pan from the oven. Place the cutouts or dough strips on the surface in a decorative pattern and return the cake pan to the oven.
11. Bake for another 55 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown. If the top darkens too much, loosely place a greased sheet of aluminum foil on top. Remove the pie from the oven and cool on a cake rack.
Thanks. Yes it tastes very good, so it was worth it. I think it will also freeze well in case we cannot eat it all at once.

Hundreds of students to participate in annual engineering competitionNovember 1, 2019
Students to compete in a series of engineering challenges this weekend.
Hundreds of innovative students are expected to compete in this weekend's McMaster Engineering Competition (Nov. 2-3).
The long-standing event, which has a sustainability theme this year, has students vying to be the best in one of nine categories, ranging from programming to design to consulting to debating. This year, a new bioengineering competition has been added. Competitors will explore biological design and develop a solution to a bio-sustainability problem.
At the start of the weekend, students will be given a problem and must come up with a solution within six hours.
"MEC gives the opportunity for students to test their Engineering and Communication skills in a fun competition against their peers," said Michael Barbosa, 2019 MEC Co-Chair.
Last year, more than 500 students participated in the annual event, which included a challenge from former Engineering I Director Bob Loree who challenged students to create an app to help his brother, Don, who had progressive supranuclear palsy. Students were asked to create a device for Don ‑ who was unable to speak and had limited mobility ‑ to help him communicate.
"It was amazing to see the drive students had when they realized the problem they were tasked to solve was actually going to be used by Don Loree and others in the society who would need it. There were many creative solutions and it's amazing what students can do in the 6 hour challenge. This challenge was an amazing experience to show how this competition can have students solve current issues in the community and help many individuals through innovatively thinking!" said Aya Aboughanem, 2018 MEC Chair.
Top participants move on to the second day where they present to a panel of industry and alumni judges. First place from each category moves on to the Ontario Engineering Competition, which will be held in Guelph in January 2020.

Orioles call up Corban Joseph, brother of Caleb

There is a Joseph on the Orioles once again. It's just not the one you assumed would be on the team when the season began. On Friday afternoon, the Orioles called up Corban Joseph, brother of Caleb, as part of a series of roster moves that were spurred by the injury to Richard Bleier.
The full set of moves:
Richard Bleier to the 10-day disabled list with a left lat strain
Yefry Ramirez optioned to Triple-A Norfolk
Joseph's contract purchased from Double-A Bowie
Tanner Scott recalled from Norfolk
D.J. Snelten designated for assignment
Snelten had been claimed on waivers from the Giants somewhat recently. The Orioles had to DFA someone to make room on the roster for Joseph. Ramirez isn't needed due to the off day yesterday and another off day Monday, so the O's are taking advantage for at least a few days with an extra bench bat. If things go as they hope with Andrew Cashner, he may return from the disabled list in time for the next start on his turn.
Corban Joseph is the younger of the Joseph brothers. He was drafted by the Yankees in the fourth round of the 2008 draft, out of high school. Joseph worked his way up through that system and got exactly one shot: Both games of a doubleheader in 2013.
Since then, Joseph has played in the upper minors, going from the Yankees to the Orioles to the Braves to the Orioles again to the Nationals and finally back to the Orioles, where he is getting another big league chance, five years later.
The 29-year-old lefty batter has played mostly second base in his long minor league career, with a pinch of third base and a pinch of first base. I don't know how long the Orioles imagine keeping him around or how they intend to use him for as long as he's here, but it's a cool story. It's too bad that Caleb Joseph's performance has him in the minor leagues. Brothers on the same bad team would certainly echo 1988.
Corban Joseph has batted .336/.394/.550 in 59 games for the Baysox this season. You would expect a 29-year-old to be destroying Double-A competition, but still, good for him. He's earned a shot, especially considering the miserable state of the Orioles offense at present. It'd be hard to hit worse than Jace Peterson or Chris Davis.

H5N1 Poultry Flu and migratory birds
H5N1 flu response devastates small poultry farms
Submitted by Martin on Thu, 2006-04-13 16:13
Another thread here - on farms">http://www.drmartinwilliams.com/h5n1-poultry-flu-and-migratory-birds/far..., biosecurity and wild birds - includes some info re impact of responses to H5N1 on small farmers: major transition towards factory farms. Includes a report from sustainable farming organisation Grain, which has just released a new report, press release on which is:
RURAL POOR DEVASTATED BY TOP-DOWN GLOBAL RESPONSE TO BIRD FLU The top-down global response to bird flu is devastating small farmers and perpetuating the bird flu crisis.
A new report from GRAIN [1] looks at the power politics behind this global response and its consequences for the poor. This report, building on a previous GRAIN report on bird flu from February 2006 [2], finds that the agencies of the UN at the forefront of the international response to the virus, both WHO and FAO, are pursuing top-down strategies for wiping out bird flu that in turn are wiping out the foundations for long term, pro-poor solutions in the process. The report highlights how the FAO has turned its back on family poultry farming and contrasts the WHO's lack of concern for the impact of its bird flu measures on small farmers.
The global approach to control bird flu co-ordinated by these UN agencies excludes local communities from decision-making and does not consider the dynamics of the disease in local contexts. There's no nuance, no understanding of people's needs and, worst of all, no appreciation of the capacity and knowledge that farmers have for managing this virus. The strategies are being diligently carried out by governments, many of them neglectful if not hostile towards small farmers and the poultry biodiversity they sustain, with disastrous consequences for rural people.
The report maintains that the solution being proposed - a complete shift to factory farming - merely brings us back to the source of the current bird flu crisis===========================================================

Nine Indian poultry farmers commit suicide
Permalink Submitted by Martin on Thu, 2006-04-13 21:09
[quote]Mumbai - Nine poultry farmers in India have killed themselves and more are facing a grim future after bird flu slashed demand for chicken meat, an industry group said on Wednesday.
India has culled hundreds of thousands of birds to contain several outbreaks of the H5N1 avian flu virus in poultry since February, but the disease has continued to resurface, mostly in western Maharashtra state.
The scare has decimated the country's $7,8-billion (about R48-billion) poultry industry, which says losses in the past two months have reached $2,2-billion (about R13,5-billion).
"Nine farmers across India have committed suicide after their businesses suffered huge losses," OP Singh, member of the National Egg Coordination Committee (NECC), told Reuters.
'Sales are down by half'
The suicides have been reported during the past 15 days from West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Assam, Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra, the latter state being the epicentre of bird flu outbreaks in the country.
The committee said there were 123 000 poultry farmers in India and about 70 percent of them were in a "dire situation".
"Most small poultry owners start their business by selling off land and jewellery. And when they can't recover their costs, they are left with no choice," Singh said.[/quote]

Over a million small farmers in India impacted

Note that Fear of the Flu is major cause of the losses; people not buying chickens, after all the fearmongering [quote]Sunday, April 16, 2006 (Pataudi): In the aftermath of bird flu, as the poultry industry faces huge losses, it's the small poultry farmers who have been the worst hit. Over a million farmers across the country have virtually lost their livelihood and have found desperate measures to tide over the crisis as they wait for the government to intervene. Deep in debt, poultry farmer Naresh's future looks empty. He says he is on the brink of suicide. His small poultry farm in Haryana's poultry belt, Pataudi, is left without chicken. Before the Avian Flu outbreak little less than two months ago, small farms were bustling with 3,000 to 5,000 chickens. But a few days into the outbreak, chicken prices crashed and Naresh was forced to sell his chicken at a throwaway price. Now, no feed supplier is ready to sell the small poultry farmer chicken feed on credit.
No feed means no chicken and no source of income. "I have lost 2,000 chickens and Rs 60,000. We could not repay the feed mill owner's credit, who can't give any feed now, and our farm is empty," said Naresh. Financial package For farmers like Rajesh, no money means no school for his children. With no income he says even relatives are not ready to give him loans for daily needs. "I have three kids, no money for fees, and had to withdraw my son from school, even relatives are not giving us any credit," said Rajesh. The small farmer is in a real crisis. He says that the government's financial package has no meaning for him. He says he needs the consumer to restart eating poultry products. The government's financial package involves reduced interest on bank loans, but 1.1 million small farmers across the country do not take loans. Their business runs purely on credit from the feed supplier and the supplier of chicks.
The feed suppliers say farmers are in no position to repay their credit as sales have dropped, a story that's echoing in poultry farms in Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh as well. "We might have to close the mill this way. There is no one to sell to and so we have not even applied for a loan if the farmer can't buy it," said Vishal Singh, Feed Mill Owner, Pataudi. Breeder farms The NDTV team also met desperate poultry farmers from Rajasthan who bought feed in return for grain worth Rs 50,000 that will last only a week. "We have no money now, so the grain we grow, we are selling that. We don't know where this rumour of avian flu came from, we have been destroyed," said Hakim Singh, another poultry farmer in Rajasthan.
The crisis also trickles down to breeder farms where chickens are reared to provide eggs for hatcheries. The breeder chickens represent the start of the poultry production chain. The poultry farmer cannot afford to buy them, so they have not been fed and hence they don't lay eggs. For the last seven weeks, the chicken have been fed only five gms of feed instead of the usual 170 gms per day, so that it stops laying eggs. The breeder farmers face losses of Rs 1,80,000 per day as even big hatcheries are no longer buying eggs. With the whole system of credit collapsing, small farmers are now looking towards the government to bail them out. However, the biggest challenge for the poultry industry and the government still remains the consumer, who can make all the difference if they decide eating chicken is safe once again.[/quote] Bird Flu: Small poultry farmers severely hit
Small poultry farmers to suffer in Vietnam
[quote]HANOI (AFP) - More than 20 international animal and human health experts are visiting Vietnam this week to help the country move from its bird flu emergency response to long-term control, a UN official said. "The thing Vietnam is pushing for is restructuring its poultry sector, moving live bird markets out of cities, building new facilities and slaughter houses," Fabio Friscia of the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation said on Tuesday. .. Around eight million Vietnamese now raise poultry in backyard farms, where the risk of outbreaks is highest, said Friscia, who added that the country plans to reduce the number of such informal farms to five million within a decade. "There is concern for the future of poor backyard farmers and small commercial farmers," said Friscia, the FAO's bird flu programme officer in Vietnam. "A lot of them will have to leave the sector with significant economic losses. The challenge is to provide these people with alternative livelihood opportunities."[/quote] Bird flu experts in Vietnam to aid long-term control

Democrats race to the bottom
By - The Washington Times - Wednesday, January 19, 2000
Given the role minority voters will play in Democratic primaries down the road, it should not be surprising that former Sen. Bill Bradley and Vice President Al Gore have been playing their own versions of the race card to increase their appeal. Having two Democrats tangle on this issue, which is usually deployed against Republicans, has been an interesting spectacle. Not that Republicans have been safe from ongoing mud slinging by any means.
First, of course, there was the recent outburst that Mr. Gore's black campaign manager, Donna Brazile, leveled at two prominent black Republicans, retired Army Gen. Colin Powell and Rep. J.C. Watts, who, Miss Brazile charged, were mere tokens being used by Republicans because "they'd rather take pictures with black children than feed them." Firing Miss Brazile for her insolence was simply out of the question. Indeed, she never even visited the woodshed, such has the Democratic Party evolved.
For his part, Mr. Bradley, who claims that racial reconciliation forms the foundation of his quest for the presidency, demonstrated bad judgment last fall by visiting the National Action Network headquarters of The Rev. Al Sharpton, who has made a career of exploiting racial wrongdoing, real and imagined, to divide the races rather than to unite them. In other words, he stands against everything Mr. Bradley claims to stand for. Among other things, Mr. Sharpton promoted the Tawana Brawley hoax and fanned the racial flames that led to the firebombing of a Jewish-owned Harlem clothing store, where several people were killed. This was the man, Mr. Bradley said at Monday's Democratic debate, that has "got to be given respect."
With polls showing black voters favoring Mr. Gore over Mr. Bradley by a two-to-one margin, Mr. Bradley last week launched an attack on Mr. Gore. He reminded the Boston Herald that it was Mr. Gore in 1988 who "introduced" Willie Horton "into the lexicon," a fact that "bothers me a great deal." Horton, a black man, was an Massachusetts murderer sentenced to life in prison without parole. Under a nutty policy strongly defended by then-Massachusetts Gov. Michael Dukakis, Horton received weekend furloughs. During one of those excursions, he traveled to Maryland, kidnapped a couple and brutally raped the woman. During a debate before the 1988 New York primary, Mr. Gore strongly criticized Mr. Dukakis' furlough program and privately told inquiring reporters that they should look into the Horton case, which had already become an explosive issue throughout Massachusetts.
The real issue, of course, was not Horton's race. It was the incomprehensible furloughs granted to convicted murderers who should never be eligible for parole. Evidently, Mr. Bradley still fails to comprehend this fact. As for Mr. Gore, today he is so afraid of being labeled a racist that he denies any connection to the Horton controversy.
During Monday's debate, the candidates tried to outdo each other when it came to the embrace of affirmative action quotas and denunciation of the South Carolina state flag. Mr. Bradley also condemned Atlanta Braves' pitcher John Rocker for his boorish remarks about foreigners in Times Square and other minorities one might encounter on New York City's No. 7 subway line. "Certainly a suspension is in order," said Mr. Bradley. Mr. Gore called Mr. Rocker's comments reprehensible and disgusting.
It's worth recalling that somebody else famous once offered his views about New York's melting pot. In 1984, The Rev. Jesse Jackson, referring to New York's Jewish population while pursuing the Democratic presidential nomination, complained about "Hymietown" and "Hymies." He repeatedly denied he used the terms, and when he finally admitted the truth, he offered the assurance that his comments were not made "in the spirit of meanness."
As they play the race card, Messrs. Bradley and Gore treat Mr. Jackson and Mr. Sharpton with a deference that would be far better reserved for, say, Mr. Powell and Mr. Watts. Given their desperate search for votes, however, one probably shouldn't expect rational discourse, much less deference, from either candidate anytime soon.

2. Rinse and cut squash in half. Remove seeds.
3. If using fresh rosemary, rinse and chop now.
4. Drizzle 1 teaspoon maple syrup over the cut side of each squash half. Sprinkle each with red pepper flakes and cayenne. If using rosemary, add now.
5. Cover baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place squash halves on the baking sheet. Roast until squash is tender and pierces easily with a fork, about 30-35 minutes. Remove from oven. Keep squash loosely covered with foil.
6. Cook pasta following package directions. Drain in a colander. Transfer to a medium bowl. Add butter, salt, and pepper. Stir to coat well.
7. Cut each squash half into thirds. Remove skin from squash. Serve one piece of squash over each portion of pasta.
8. If using grated Parmesan cheese, sprinkle over squash and orzo now.
Orzo and squash reheat well without losing flavor or quality. Cook the entire meal the night before. Refrigerate until ready to serve the next day. For faster cooking, heat squash halves in the microwave. Heat for 7 minutes on high, or until squash is tender and pierces easily with a fork. For a quicker pasta dish, peel squash and chop into bite-size pieces. Using the same ingredients as in step 4, roast squash for 25 minutes. Toss with cooked whole wheat pasta, olive or canola oil, and grated Parmesan cheese.


By committing ourselves and those in our apostolate to an experience of beauty in the liturgy, through choral groups, ecclesiastical embroidery and value for the fine arts in museums, we wish to help develop a "taste" for the beautiful whereby we may become participants in the creative work of God and thus find Him and honor Him…even in the midst of war and poverty.
Dudley Plunkett, senior academic tutor at the Maryvale Institute in Birmingham, offers a reflection on beauty as a path to God in the light of the New Evangelisation.
"The practice of goodness is accompanied by spontaneous spiritual joy and moral beauty. Likewise, truth carries with it the joy and splendour of spiritual beauty. Truth is beautiful in itself" (CCC, 2500).
Beauty is a key to the mystery and a call to transcendence. It is an invitation to savour life and to dream of the future. That is why the beauty of created things can never fully satisfy. It stirs that hidden nostalgia for God which a lover of beauty like Saint Augustine could express in incomparable terms: "Late have I loved you, beauty so old and so new: late have I loved you!".
The via pulchritudinis, the way of beauty, is a privileged and fascinating path on which to approach the Mystery of God. What is the beauty that writers, poets, musicians, and artists contemplate and express in their language other than the reflection of the splendour of the eternal Word made flesh?

Q: decomposing a factor group into a direct sum of cyclic groups Let $\mathbb{Z}_n ^*$ be the set of all units in $\mathbb{Z}_n$  and $(\mathbb{Z}_n ^*)^2$ = $\{ a^2 | a \in \mathbb{Z}_n ^*\} $
Then,  decompose the factor group  $\mathbb{Z}_n ^* / (\mathbb{Z}_n ^*)^2$
1.when $n$ is an odd prime
2.when $n$ is a product of two distinct odd primes $p, q$
I solved the first as following: In $\mathbb{Z}_p$, since $x^2=(p-x)^2$ holds, the order of $(\mathbb{Z}_n ^*)^2$ is exactly the half of that of $\mathbb{Z}_n ^*$.
Thus, the answer is $\mathbb{Z}_2$.
However the second is more complicated. I didn't know that. Please help me to solve this.

A: Hints:
With your notation:
$$\Bbb Z_{pq}^*=\Bbb Z^*_p\times\Bbb Z^*_q$$
The above's based on the well known property of Euler's Totient Function
$$\phi(pq)=\phi(p)\phi(q)=(p-1)(q-1)$$

A: $\mathbb{Z}_{pq}^\ast = \mathbb{Z}_p^\ast \times \mathbb{Z}_q^\ast$, and $(\mathbb{Z}_{pq}^\ast)^2 = (\mathbb{Z}_p^\ast)^2 \times (\mathbb{Z}_q^\ast)^2$.

How To Hashtag
by Total Merchandise | 21st Dec 2017
Share Tweet Share Share Share Email
Now that Twitter has increased its character limit, there is space for even more hashtags. The question is, however, how can you use this popular symbol to benefit your social media marketing?
All of the top brands use hashtags, according to the Interbrand 100 list, so there is no reason why you should not jump aboard this… we want to say 'trend' but it seems that hashtags are here to stay! The hashtag became relevant when Twitter, the giant social media platform, hyperlinked hashtags to search results. In other words, Twitter made hashtags 'searchable'.
Nowadays, most platforms from Facebook to Instagram give the option to search a hashtag so that you can see who else is talking about the same topic as you. Hashtags can be used by groups of people supporting something, from raising awareness about a natural disaster or for sharing their love of #foodporn, or it can be used by accounts to generate robot likes by using hashtags such as #l4l (like for a like) or #f4f (follow for a follow). Moreover, hashtags can be used to join in a conversation. Whichever way hashtags are used, it is undeniable that they are increasingly popular and are here to stay.
Start Conversations Specific To You
One of the best ways you can get people talking about your brand is by running a campaign with its own hashtag slogan. You'll see on various television adverts and shows that there is an encouraging hashtag in the corner so people can see what other people are saying about the brand. Make a brand-specific hashtag that is unique so that your followers can join in the hashtag. If you search #EveryLittleHelps on Instagram or Twitter, you will see an influx of posts about Tesco, even when the word 'Tesco' hasn't been searched – this is because they have turned their slogan into a hashtag. Similarly, you could have searched #Imaceleb and seen hundreds of posts about the television show I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here! Once you have a brand-specific hashtag, make sure you use it on all of your social media platforms so that you remain consistent and encourage those conversations and content that are specific to your brand.
Join A Conversation
Conversations are increasingly important in the social media world – as technology advances, consumers are looking to see brands as more 'human'. As such, if there is a trending hashtag you should join in and Tweet with everyone else. Twitter has a feature that alerts people when followers are tweeting similar content, creating even more of a buzz around your brand and the topic you are discussing. So use these trending tags to get your message seen by a wider audience which, in turn, should encourage like-minded people to follow your brand on social media.
Will you be #hashtagging anytime soon?

Metallica Tease Long-Awaited '…And Justice for All' Re-Release
Tyler Sharp Published: September 5, 2018
Twitter: Metallica
Metallica have released a teaser video that gives fans their first-look at the long-awaited deluxe edition of ...And Justice for All. The clip, which the band tweeted with the hashtag "#comingsoon," features footage of the packaging plant where the release's final product is being put together. Viewers can get a glimpse at just a few of the goodies that will be included in the release below.
There has been much discussion around the seemingly elusive release. In 2017 producer/engineer Toby Wright, who handled some of the engineering on Justice said he would "love to remix" the album. The longstanding issue around the album is the absence of Jason Newsted's bass.
In Feb. of this year, Justice mixer Steve Thompson claimed that Metallica don't have plans to remix the album. "I just contributed to the anniversary album of …And Justice [for All]," he told the Talk Toomey Podcast. "I just sent them a bunch of pictures and some outtakes, but they have no desire to remix the record. They want to keep it the way it is. They might remaster it or something like that, but there is only so much mastering you can do. And I'll tell you the truth, I don't even know if those original multi-tracks could be saved. Because there are like 5 million edits in them from Lars' drums alone. So if you have the box and open it up there probably be about 50 million pieces of tape all over the place."

Defines the characteristics of symbols that display the data plotted by a PLOT statement used by PROC GBARLINE, PROC GCONTOUR, and PROC GPLOT.
SYMBOL statements create SYMBOL definitions, which are used by the GPLOT, GBARLINE and GCONTOUR procedures.
If you create SYMBOL definitions, they are automatically applied to a graph by the procedure. If you do not create SYMBOL definitions, these procedures generate default definitions and apply them as needed to your plots.
specifies the width of the box generated by either the INTERPOL=BOX or INTERPOL=HILOB option. Box-width can be any number greater than 0. By default, the value of box-width is the same as the value of the WIDTH= option, whose default value is 1. Therefore, if you specify a WIDTH= value for and omit the BWIDTH= option, the width of the box changes accordingly.
Featured in: Example 4. Creating and Modifying Box Plots.
specifies a color for an interpolation line (GPLOT and GBARLINE) or a contour line (GCONTOUR). The _STYLE_ value specifies the appropriate color based on the current style. If you omit the CI= option but specify the CV= option, the CI= option assumes the value of the CV= option. In this case, the CI= and CV= options specify the same color, which is the same as specifying the COLOR= option alone.
each color in the color list sequentially before the next SYMBOL definition is used.
If you omit the CO= option, the search order for a color specification depends on the interpolation method being used.
specifies a color for the entire definition, unless it is followed by a more explicit specification. For the GPLOT and GBARLINE procedures, this includes plot symbols, the plot line, confidence limit lines, and outlines. For the GCONTOUR procedure, this includes contour lines and labels. The _STYLE_ value specifies the appropriate color from the current style.
Using the COLOR= option is exactly the same as specifying the same color for both the CI= and CV= options.
If COLOR= precedes the CI= or CV= option in the same statement, the CI= or CV= option is used instead.
If you do not use a SYMBOL statement to specify a color for each symbol, but you do specify a color list in a GOPTIONS statement, then Java and ActiveX assign colors to symbols differently than other devices. To ensure consistency on all devices, you should specify the desired color of each symbol. If you do not specify a symbol color, SAS/GRAPH uses the first default color and the first symbol. It uses each color in the list of default colors until the list is exhausted. SAS/GRAPH then selects the next symbol and begins again with the first default color. It rotates the new symbol through the list of default colors before selecting another symbol. It continues selecting new symbols and colors until no more symbols are needed.
Note: Neither the Java applet nor the ActiveX control supports using COLOR= with PROC GCONTOUR.
Style Reference: Color attribute of the GraphLabelText style element.
The _STYLE_ value specifies the appropriate color based on the current style. If you omit the CV= option but specify the CI=, the CV= option assumes the value of the CI= option. In this case, the CV= and CI= options specify the same color, which is the same as specifying the COLOR= option alone.
Note: Neither the Java applet nor the ActiveX control supports using the CV= option with PROC GCONTOUR.
specifies the font for the plot symbol (GPLOT, GBARLINE) or contour labels (GCONTOUR) specified by the VALUE= option. The font specification must be enclosed in quotes and can include the /bold and /italic font modifiers.
By default, the symbol specified by the VALUE= option is taken from the special symbol table shown in Special Symbols for Plotting Data Points. To use symbols from the special symbol table, you must omit the FONT= option.
See also: the VALUE= option, Specifying Plot Symbols, and Specifying Special Characters Using Character and Hexadecimal Codes.
specifies the height in number of units of plot symbols (GPLOT, GBARLINE) or contour labels (GCONTOUR).
Note: The HEIGHT= option affects only the height of the symbols and labels on the plot; it does not affect the height of any symbols that might appear in a legend.
The HEIGHT option overrides the MarkerSize attribute in graph styles. For more information on graph styles, see the Style Statement.
Note: With the Java device driver, the minimum height is two pixels; with ActiveX a symbol can be so small as to be invisible.
Neither the Java applet nor the ActiveX control supports HEIGHT= with PROC GCONTOUR.
produces box and whisker plots. The bottom and top edges of the box are located at the sample 25th and 75th percentiles. The center horizontal line is drawn at the 50th percentile (median). By default, INTERPOL=BOX. In this case the vertical lines, or whiskers, are drawn from the box to the most extreme point less than or equal to 1.5 interquartile ranges. (An interquartile range is the distance between the 25th and the 75th sample percentiles.) Any value more extreme than this is marked with a plot symbol.
draws tops and bottoms on the whiskers.
high/low extremes. INTERPOL=BOX00 is not the same as the default, INTERPOL=BOX.
25th percentile low, 75th high; since the box extends from the 25th to the 75th percentile, no whiskers are produced.
Box Plot shows the type of plot INTERPOL=BOX produces.
You cannot use the GPLOT procedure PLOT statement option AREAS= with INTERPOL=BOX.
To increase the thickness of all box plot lines, including the box, whiskers, join line, and top and bottom ticks, use the WIDTH= option.
To increase the width of the box itself, use the BWIDTH= option. By default the value of the BWIDTH= option is the same as the value of the WIDTH= option. Therefore, if you specify a value for the WIDTH= option and omit BWIDTH=, the width of the box changes.
Note: When using DEVICE=JAVA and DEVICE=JAVAIMG with overlaid plots, different interpolations are supported per overlay unless any of the interpolations is BOX, HILO or STD. When any of these interpolations are encountered, the first interpolation specified becomes the only interpolation that is used for all overlays. All other interpolations are ignored.
specifies that a solid vertical line connect the minimum and maximum Y values for each X value. The data should have at least two values of Y for every value of X; otherwise, the single value is displayed without the vertical line.
By default, for each X value, the mean Y value is marked with a tick. This is shown in High-Low Plot.
draws tick marks at the close value instead of at the mean value. Specifying C assumes that there are three values of Y (HIGH, LOW, and CLOSE) for every value of X. If more or fewer than three Y values are specified, the mean is ticked. The Y values can be in any order in the input data set.
connects the minimum and maximum Y values with bars instead of lines. Use the BWIDTH= option to increase the width of the bars.
joins the mean values or the close values (if HILOC is specified) with a line. This point is not marked with a tick mark. You cannot use the PLOT statement option AREAS= with INTERPOL=HILOJ.
adds tops and bottoms to each line.
connects maximum and minimum values with a bar and joins the mean or close values.
adds tops and bottoms to the lines and joins the mean or close values.
High-Low Plot shows the type of plot INTERPOL=HILO produces. Plot symbols in the form of dots have been added to this figure.
To increase the thickness of all lines generated by the INTERPOL=HILO option, use the WIDTH= option.
Note: If you use the HAXIS= or VAXIS= options in the PLOT statement or the ORDER= option in an AXIS definition to restrict the range of axis values, by default any observations that fall outside the axis range are excluded from the interpolation calculation. See the option MODE= .
When using DEVICE=JAVA and DEVICE=JAVAIMG with overlaid plots, different interpolations are supported per overlay unless any of the interpolations is BOX, HILO or STD. When any of these interpolations are encountered, the first interpolation specified becomes the only interpolation that is used for all overlays. All other interpolations are ignored.
connects data points with straight lines. Points are connected in the order they occur in the input data set. Therefore, the data should be sorted by the independent (horizontal axis) variable.
If the data contain missing values, the observations are omitted. However, the plot line is not broken at missing values unless the SKIPMISS option is used.
specifies the degree of the Lagrange interpolation polynomial. By default, degree is 1.
sorts a data set by the independent variable before plotting its data.
The Lagrange methods are useful chiefly when data consist of tabulated, precise values. A polynomial of the specified degree (1, 3, or 5) is fitted through the nearest 2, 4, or 6 points. In general, the first derivative is not continuous. If the values of the horizontal variable are not strictly increasing, the corresponding parametric method (L1P, L3P, or L5P) is used.
Specifying INTERPOL=L1P, INTERPOL=L3P, or INTERPOL=L5P results in a parametric Lagrange interpolation of degree 1, 3, or 5, respectively. Both the horizontal and vertical variables are processed with the Lagrange method and a parametric interpolation of degree 1, 3, or 5, using the distance between points as a parameter.
an empty pattern. EMPTY and E are valid aliases.
The Java applet does not support this option.
1 produces the lightest shading and 5 produces the heaviest.
the degree at which the parallel lines are drawn. By default, angle is 0 (lines are parallel to the horizontal axis).
The INTERPOL=map/plot-pattern option only works if the data are structured so that the data points and, consequently, the plot lines form an enclosed area. The plot lines should not cross each other.
draws a vertical line from each data point to a horizontal line at the 0 value on the vertical axis or the minimum value on the vertical axis. The horizontal line is drawn automatically.
Needle Plot shows the type of plot INTERPOL=NEEDLE produces. Plot symbols are not displayed in this figure.
You cannot use the PLOT statement option AREAS= with INTERPOL=NEEDLE.
suppresses any interpolation and, if the VALUE= option is not specified, also suppresses plot points. If no interpolation method is specified in a SYMBOL statement and if the graphics option INTERPOL= is not used, INTERPOL=NONE is the default.
You cannot use the PLOT statement option AREAS= with INTERPOL=NONE.
specifies that a plot is a regression analysis. By default, regression lines are not forced through plot origins and confidence limits are not displayed.
Note: When least-square solutions for the parameters are not unique, the SAS/GRAPH uses a quadratic equation by default for the interpolation whereas the Java and ActiveX device drivers might pick a cubic solution to use.
By default, type is L. The regression line is drawn in the line type specified in the LINE= option. By default, the type of the regression line is 1.
Note: You must specify type if you use either 0, or CLI, or CLM.
Note: To force the regression line through the origin (0,0) when the data ranges do not place the origin at (0,0), use the GPLOT procedure options HZERO and VZERO (ignored if the data contain negative values), or use the HAXIS= and VAXIS= options to specify axes ranges from 0 to maximum data value. If the data ranges contain negative values and the HAXIS= and VAXIS= options specify ranges starting at 0, only values within the displayed range are used in the interpolation calculations.
displays confidence limits for individual predicted values.
You can specify confidence levels from 50% to 99%. By default, the confidence level is 95%. Include a confidence level specification only if you use CLM or CLI.
The line type used for the confidence limit lines is determined by adding 1 to the values of LINE=. By default, the line type of confidence limit lines is 2.
Plot of Regression Analysis and Confidence Limits shows the type of plot INTERPOL=RCCLM95 produces (cubic regression analysis with 95% confidence limits).
specifies that a smooth line is fit to data using a spline routine. INTERPOL=SM is a method for smoothing noisy data. The points on the plot do not necessarily fall on the line.
produces a cubic spline that minimizes a linear combination of the sum of squares of the residuals of fit and the integral of the square of the second derivative (Reinsch 1967)(footnote 1). The greater the nn value, the smoother the fitted curve. By default, the value of nn is 0.
sorts data by the independent variable before plotting.
specifies that the interpolation for the plot line use a spline routine. INTERPOL=SPLINE produces the smoothest line and is the most efficient of the nontrivial spline interpolation methods.
Spline interpolation smoothes a plot line using a cubic spline method with continuous second derivatives (Pizer 1975)(footnote 2)This method uses a piecewise third-degree polynomial for each set of two adjacent points. The polynomial passes through the plotted points and matches the first and second derivatives of neighboring segments at the points.
If two points are so close together that the computations overflow, the second point is not used.
Note: When points on the graph are out of range of the axis values, the curve is clipped. If an end point is out of range, no curve is drawn. Out-of-range conditions can be caused by restricting the range of axis values with the HAXIS= or VAXIS= option in the PLOT statement or the ORDER= option in an AXIS definition.
Note: When points on the graph are close together and a spline interpolation is used, the Java applet is unable to draw some line types correctly.
specifies that a solid line connect the mean Y value with ± 1, 2, or 3 standard deviations for each X.
Note: By default, two standard deviations are used.
computes sample variances using a pooled estimate, as in a one-way ANOVA model.
connects the minimum and maximum Y values with bars instead of lines.
connects the means from bar to bar with a line.
connects maximum and minimum values with a bar and joins the mean values.
adds tops and bottoms to the lines and joins the mean values.
Plot of Standard Deviations shows the type of plot INTERPOL=STD produces. A horizontal tick is drawn at the mean.Plot symbols in the form of dots have been added to this figure.
Note: By default, the vertical axis ranges from the minimum to the maximum Y value in the data. If the requested number of standard deviations from the mean covers a range of values that exceeds the maximum or is less than the minimum, the STD lines are cut off at the minimum and maximum Y values. When this cutoff occurs, rescale the axis using VAXIS= in the PLOT statement or ORDER= in an AXIS definition so that the STD lines are shown.
If you restrict the range of axis values by using the HAXIS= or VAXIS= option in a PLOT statement or the ORDER= option in an AXIS definition, by default any observations that fall outside the axis range are excluded from the interpolation calculation. See the MODE= option option.
To increase the thickness of all lines generated by the INTERPOL=STD option, use the WIDTH= option.
You cannot use the PLOT statement option AREAS= with INTERPOL=STD.
specifies that the data are plotted with a step function. By default, the data point is on the left of the step, the steps are not joined with a vertical line, and the data are not sorted before processing.
displays the data point on the left of the step.
displays the data point on the right of the step.
displays the data point in the center of the step.
Note: When a step is retraced in order to locate its center point, the GIF, JPEG, PNG, ACTXIMG, Java, and JAVAIMG devices treat this as effectively not drawing that part of the step at all. ActiveX, however, draws each part of the step--resulting in a somewhat different graph.
produces steps joined with a vertical line.
sorts unordered data by the independent variable before plotting.
Step Plot shows the type of plot INTERPOL=STEPJR produces. Plot symbols in the form of dots have been added to this figure.
Line types are shown in Line Types. By default, LINE=1.
Note: This option overrides the LineStyle attribute in graph styles.
Neither the Java applet nor ActiveX control supports GCONTOUR.
specifies that any interpolation method exclude or include data values that are outside the range of plot axes. By default, MODE=EXCLUDE prevents values outside the axis range from being displayed.
If you control the range of values displayed on an axis by using HAXIS= and VAXIS= in the GPLOT procedure, or ORDER= in an AXIS definition, any data points that lie outside the range of the axes are discarded before interpolation is applied to the data. Using these options to control value ranges has a particularly noticeable effect on the high-low interpolation methods, which include INTERPOL=HILO, INTERPOL=BOX, and INTERPOL=STD. Regression analysis also represents only part of the original data.
labels plot points. The labels always use the format that is assigned to the variable or variables whose values are used for the labels. POINTLABEL without any specified descriptions labels points with the Y value. NONE suppresses the point labels. Label-description(s) can be used to change the variable whose values are used to label points, and to change features of the label text, such as the color, font, or size of the text.
Note: If you do not specify a color on a SYMBOL statement, the symbol definition is rotated through the color list before the next SYMBOL statement is used. Thus, if your plot contains multiple plot lines and you want to limit your POINTLABEL specification to a single line, you must specify a color in the SYMBOL statement that contains the POINTLABEL description.
specifies the color of the label text. The default is the first color from the color list.
specify DROPCOLLISIONS to drop new labels if they collide with a label already in use. Specify NODROPCOLLISIONS to retain all labels. The default is DROPCOLLISIONS.
The algorithm for the placement of markers tries to avoid placing labels such that they collide. If the algorithm is unable to avoid a collision, then the default DROPCOLLISIONS is to drop the new label, whereas NODROPCOLLISIONS retains even colliding labels.
specifies the horizontal alignment of the label text. The default is CENTER. The location of the point label is relative to the location of the corresponding data point.
specifies the vertical placement of the label text. The default is TOP. The location of the point label is relative to the location of the corresponding data point.
"#var" | "#x:#y <$char>" | "#y:#x <$char>"
specifies the variable or variables whose values label the plot points. The variable specification must be enclosed in either single or double quotation marks. The first specified variable must be prefixed with a pound sign (#). If a second variable is specified, it must be prefixed with a colon and a pound sign (:#). When you specify both the X and Y variables, you can also specify the character to display as the delimiter between variable values in the plot label.
The $ syntax must be within the same quotation marks as the variable specification. The $ specification can precede or follow the variable specification, but it must be separated from the variable specification by at least one space.
Note: Specifying a delimiting character with the $ only changes the character that displays in the label. It does not change the syntax of the variable specification, which requires a colon and pound sign (:#) to precede the second variable.
Note: There is a sixteen character length limit for each variable. A maximum character length limit of thirty-three characters is possible. This can be composed of X and Y variables, any other valid data set variable, and a separator as required.
When creating output using the ActiveX or Java devices, the variables that you specify in the POINTLABEL= option must be for the plot's X and Y variables. Specifying any other variables causes unexpected labeling.
Specify as many label-description suboptions as you want. Enclose them all within a single set of parentheses, and separate each suboption from the others by at least one space.
specifies the number of times that a SYMBOL definition is applied before the next SYMBOL definition is used. By default, REPEAT=1.
If any SYMBOL color option also is used in the SYMBOL definition, that SYMBOL definition is repeated the specified number of times in the specified color.
If no SYMBOL color option is used but the CSYMBOL= graphics option is currently in effect, the SYMBOL definition is repeated the specified number of times in the specified color.
If no SYMBOL statement color options are used and the CSYMBOL= graphics option is not used, the SYMBOL definition is cycled through each color in the color list, and then the entire group generated by this cycle repeats the number of times specified by the REPEAT= option. Thus, the total number of iterations of the SYMBOL definition depends on the number of colors in the current color list.
tunes the algorithm used to check for singularities. The default value is machine dependent but is approximately 1E-7 on most machines. This option is rarely needed.
specifies the minimum distance between labels on contour lines. The value of distance must be greater than zero. By default, STEP=65PCT.
Note: If you specify units of PCT or CELLS, the STEP= option calculates the distance between the labels based on the width of the graphics output area, not the height. For example, if you specify STEP=50PCT and if the graphics output area is 9 inches wide, the distance specified is 4.5 inches. A value less than 10 percent is ignored and 10 percent is used instead.
When you use the STEP= option, specify the minimum distance that you want between labels. The option then calculates how many labels it can fit on the contour line, taking into account the length of the labels and the minimum distance you specified. Once it has calculated how many labels it can fit while retaining the minimum distance between them, it places the labels, evenly spaced, along the line. Consequently, the space between labels can be greater than what you specify, although it will never be less.
In general, to increase the number of labels from the default, reduce the value of distance.
If the procedure cannot write the label at a particular location on the contour, for example because the contour line makes a sharp turn, the label might be placed farther along the line or omitted. If labels are omitted, a note appears in the log. Specifying a low value for the GCONTOUR procedure's TOLANGLE= option can also cause labels to be omitted, since this forces the procedure to select smoother labeling locations, which might not be available on some contours.
specifies a plot symbol for the data points (GPLOT and GBARLINE). If you omit the SYMBOL statement, plot points are generated using the default plot symbol. The default symbol is a square if you use the ActiveX or Java devices and a PLUS sign for other devices. If you specify a SYMBOL statement, but do not specify the VALUE= option, plot symbols are suppressed.
Note: For ActiveX output, the VALUE= option is not supported when INTERPOL=HILO or INTERPOL=STD. You can use the OVERLAY option with GPLOT to get symbols to appear on the data points.
specifies contour-label text in a contour plot (GCONTOUR). By default with the AUTOLABEL option, GCONTOUR labels contour lines with the contour variable's value at that contour level.
VALUE=NONE suppresses plot symbols at the data points, or labels on the contour lines. You can set the VALUE=NONE option independent of the INTERPOL= option.
In some operating environments, punctuation characters might require single quotes.
If you use VALUE=text-string to specify a plot symbol, you must also use the FONT= option to specify a symbol font or a text font. If you specify a symbol font, the characters in the string are character codes for the symbols in the font. If you specify a text font, the characters in the string are displayed. If you specify a text string containing quotes or blanks, enclose the string in single quotes.
Note: If you do not use a SYMBOL statement to specify a color for each symbol, but you do specify a color list in a GOPTIONS statement, then Java and ActiveX assign colors to symbols differently than do the other device drivers. To ensure consistency on all devices, you should specify the desired color of each symbol. If you do not specify a symbol color, SAS/GRAPH uses the first default color and the first symbol. It uses each color in the list of default colors until the list is exhausted. SAS/GRAPH then selects the next symbol and begins again with the first default color. It rotates the new symbol through the list of default colors before selecting another symbol. It continues selecting new symbols and colors until no more symbols are needed.
Note: The VALUE option overrides the MarkerSymbol attribute in graph styles.
See also: the option FONT= and Specifying Plot Symbols.
specifies the thickness of interpolated lines (GPLOT) or contour lines (GCONTOUR), where thickness-factor is a number. The thickness of the line increases directly with thickness-factor. By default, WIDTH=1.
WIDTH= also affects all the lines in box plots (INTERPOL=BOX), high-low plots with bars (INTERPOL=HILOB), and standard deviation plots (INTERPOL=STD). It also affects the outlines of the area generated by the AREAS= option in the PLOT statement of the GPLOT procedure.
Note: By default, the value specified by WIDTH= is used as the default value for the BWIDTH= option. For example, specifying WIDTH=6 also sets BWIDTH= to 6 unless you explicitly assign a value to BWIDTH=.
Java and ActiveX do not provide the same measure of control for width as SAS/GRAPH device drivers. Measurements are translated to pixels rather than a percentage. For DEVICE=JAVA and DEVICE=ACTIVEX the maximum width is 6.
Note: The words or special characters in the VALUE= column are entered exactly as shown.
A SYMBOL statement specifies one or more options that indicate the color and other attributes used by the GPLOT, GBARLINE, and GCONTOUR procedures. For GPLOT and GBARLINE, the main attributes include the plot symbol, interpolation method, and type of plot line. For GCONTOUR, the main attributes include the type of contour lines used and the text used to label those lines.
Note: SYMBOL statements can be applied only to contour plots when the AUTOLABEL option is specified on GCONTOUR.
You can define up to 255 different SYMBOL statements. A SYMBOL statement without a number is treated as a SYMBOL1 statement.
SYMBOL statements generate one or more symbol definitions, depending on how color is used and whether a plot symbol or type of contour line is specified. For more information, see Controlling Consecutive SYMBOL Statements and Using Generated Symbol Sequences.
Although it is common practice, you do not have to start with SYMBOL1, and you do not have to use sequential statement numbers. When assigning SYMBOL definitions, SAS/GRAPH software starts with the lowest-numbered definition and works upward, ignoring gaps in the numbering.
SYMBOL statements are additive. If you define a SYMBOL statement and later submit another SYMBOL statement with the same number, the new SYMBOL statement defines or cancels only the options that are included in the new statement. Options that are not included in the new statement are not changed and remain in effect.
Note: An exception to this rule is presented by POINTLABEL= suboptions which are not carried over to subsequent SYMBOL statements.
Specifying RESET=GLOBAL or RESET=ALL cancels all current SYMBOL definitions as well as other settings.
specify a default color for all SYMBOL statements using the CSYMBOL= option in the GOPTIONS statement. This method makes it easy to specify the same color for each definition when you do not need more explicit color specifications.
limit the color list to a single color using the COLORS= option in the GOPTIONS statement. This method makes it easy to specify the same color for each definition when you want the color to apply to other definitions also, such as PATTERN definitions.
For more information on specifying colors for symbol definitions, see Using Color.
If you do not use color to limit a SYMBOL statement to a single symbol definition, SAS/GRAPH generates multiple symbol definitions from that statement by rotating the current definition through the color list (for more details, see Using Generated Symbol Sequences). Because SAS/GRAPH uses symbol definitions in the order they are generated, this means that the nth symbol definition applied to a graph does not necessarily correspond to the SYMBOLn statement.
In this case, if a graph needs only three symbols, the SYMBOL2 definition is not used.
To make the nth applied symbol definition correspond to the SYMBOLn statement, limit each SYMBOL statement to a single color, using one of the techniques listed at the beginning of this section.
This example uses color to ensure that each SYMBOL statement generates only one definition. You can omit color specifications to let SAS/GRAPH rotate symbol definitions through the color list. For details, see Using Generated Symbol Sequences.
The INTERPOL= option in a GOPTIONS statement specifies a default interpolation method to be used with all SYMBOL definitions. This default interpolation method is in effect unless you specify a different interpolation in a SYMBOL statement. If the GOPTIONS statement does not specify an interpolation method, the default for each SYMBOL statement is NONE.
You can also let SAS/GRAPH rotate symbol definitions through the color list. For details, see Using Generated Symbol Sequences.
The CV= option specifies color for plot symbols in GPLOT and GBARLINE, or for contour labels in GCONTOUR.
The CO= option specifies color for confidence limit lines and area outlines in GPLOT and GBARLINE.
The CI= option specifies color for plot lines in GPLOT and GBARLINE, or contour lines in GCONTOUR.
The COLOR= option specifies color for the entire symbol. For GPLOT and GBARLINE, this includes plot symbols, plot lines, and outlines. For GCONTOUR, this includes contour lines and labels.
Both the CV= and CI= options specify the same color.
If no color options are used, the SYMBOL definition cycles through each color in the color list.
If the SYMBOL color options and the CSYMBOL= graphics option are not used, the SYMBOL definition cycles through each color in the color list before the next definition is used. For details, see Using Generated Symbol Sequences.
In this example, both SYMBOL statements use green.
CSYMBOL= is overridden by any of the SYMBOL statement color options. See Using Color for details.
If more SYMBOL definitions are needed, SAS/GRAPH returns to generating default symbol sequences.
To specify the type of line for plot or contour lines, use the LINE= option to specify a number from 1 through 46. Line Types shows the line types represented by these numbers. By default, the line type is 1 for plot and contour lines, and 2 for confidence limit lines.
Note: These line types are also used by other statements and procedures. Some options accept a line type of 0, which produces no line.
no valid SYMBOL definition is available. In this case, default symbol sequences are generated by rotating symbol definitions through the color specified in the GOPTIONS statement's CSYMBOL= option. If a CSYMBOL= color is not in effect, the definitions are rotated through the color list.
a SYMBOL statement specifies color but not a plot symbol for the GPLOT procedure, or a line type for the GCONTOUR procedure (assuming that GCONTOUR does not specify the needed line types). In this case, a default plot symbol or line type is used with the specified color and only one definition is generated.
a SYMBOL statement specifies a plot symbol for GPLOT or a line type for GCONTOUR, but no color options. In this case, the specified plot symbol or line type is used once with the color specified by the CSYMBOL= graphics option. If a CSYMBOL= color is not in effect, the specified plot symbol or line type is rotated through the color list.
If the REPEAT= option is also used, the resulting SYMBOL definition is repeated the specified number of times.
Default symbol sequences are generated by rotating symbol definitions through the current color list.
Definitions used for GPLOT rotate plot symbols through the color list; the first default plot symbol is a plus sign (+).
Definitions used for GCONTOUR rotate line types; the first default line type is a solid line (line type 1).
Each time a default definition is required, SAS/GRAPH takes the first default plot symbol or line type and uses it with the first color in the color list. If more than one definition is required, it uses the same plot symbol or line type with the next color in the color list and continues until all the colors have been used once. If more definitions are needed, SAS/GRAPH selects the second default plot symbol or line type and rotates it through the color list. It continues in this fashion, selecting default plot symbols or line types and cycling them through the color list until all the required definitions are generated.
If a color has been specified with the CSYMBOL= option in the GOPTIONS statement, each default plot symbol or line type is used once with the specified color, and the colors in the color list are ignored.
Notice that after the SYMBOL statements are exhausted, the procedure begins using the default definitions (sequences 6 through 9). Each plot symbol from the default list is rotated through all colors in the color list before the next plot symbol is used. Also, SYMBOL1 does not specify a plot symbol, so the default sequencing provides the first default symbol (a + sign). When sequencing resumes in sequence number 6, it starts at the beginning again, selecting the first default plot symbol and rotating it through the color list.

I should probably wait until I have some images of my own but I'm positively bubbling over with anticipation for our upcoming Milwaukee visit. Every year, for the past few years, we've made it a point to visit Milwaukee for at least a day. This year it could be this weekend (provided the weather cooperates).
"Milwaukee?" You say. Yes! Milwaukee is so underrated. I get it. I'm an east coast girl - Wisconsin was at the bad end of far too many stereotypes and bad jokes. Know what? They are wrong...and right. I mean yes, there is cheese...and beer...but it is all so good!
Before Eh graced our lives with her presence we spent a fabulous Thanksgiving in Milwaukee filled with art, music, shopping, and fabulous food. Ever since then we return as often as we can, which, for some reason, always seems to be in the fall.
We stayed at the County Clare Inn, a quirky little B&B complete with an Irish pub, plentiful live music and darling rooms. It was fabulous - and a perfect place to retire after a long day of sightseeing. Nothing is more accommodating than a warm fireplace, a beer in hand, a great band and a quick walk to your room at the end of the night.
First order of business was a trip to Broadway Paper, mecca or all things paper and ephemera. It was one of our first stops and continues to be every time. You can be sure if there was a Milwaukee trip that year there will be something in the stockings from Broadway Paper.
Just up the block from Broadway Paper, aside from a number of other tremendous Third Ward District shops, is a Goodwill (given the nifty name facelift of "Retique"that has quite the heavenly selection. It's become an addition to our places to visit because for a $50 budget we can get quite a haul of barely worn lovelies - including a cashmere J Crew sweater I got last year for $9. A great thrift find is always a fun score and, on a more serious note, an excellent choice for our environment (see here for a provocative article on "Waste Couture").
Our time in the Third Ward wouldn't be complete without a trip to the Milwaukee Public Market - where we almost always end up getting tea, spices, and lunch. An indoor market, it features a variety of fresh, local selections, gourmet and sweet treats, and specialty vendors....and it's fabulous.
Visually striking in every aspect and down every corridor, the Milwaukee Art Museum doesn't disappoint. It is easily walkable from the Third Ward, and absolutely not to be missed. The jaw-dropping architecture by Calatrava certainly steals the show at first but the works held within the museum are quite stunning, varied, and well curated. Always an enjoyable stop.
If I started talking about the food here I might not stop - let's just say we've done it all...ok, ok, a few restaurants varying from the very fanciest to the not so fancy and have been impressed every time. Milwaukee has some good eats!
Know what though, for all the beer-talk about Winsconsin we've still not been to a brewery! So this trip we hope to rectify that little misdeed. Mmm! Can't wait to get there all over again and take some pictures of my own to share with you. Keep those fingers crossed that the weather stays lovely, will you?
Do you love someplace that is often misunderstood? Tell me about it - we love to go new places and explore!
