A well-designed map can be an incredibly valuable tool for healthcare strategy, marketing, and planning. But sometimes, good maps can go bad; and bad maps can easily hurt more than they help. It has been a few years since our last "Bad Maps" post, so let's have some fun and learn from the cartographic missteps of others!
The map below showing US hog density from 1948 is one of my all-time favorite bad maps. Every black dot represents 5,000 hogs, but the cartographer also used black as the background for the page and to outline the border of every state. As you can see in the comments below the image, it could be interpreted from this map that our nation is surrounded by a sea of hogs and that each state has a border wall of millions of hogs! Obviously, this was not the intention, but it's a great example of how an awesomely bad map can take good information, display it very poorly, and cause a lot of confusion.
Population density maps are the wolf in sheep's clothing of the cartographic world. Everyone from mapping novices to professionals who should know better create maps using interesting population variables and trends and these maps often go viral. At first glance, these maps look meaningful and provoke thought and fascination. However, these maps are a mirage! Regardless of the map variables and data used, the population density of the US means there will be more data points where there are more people.
Always remember to look at maps objectively and think "Is this just population density?" The giveaway of a population density mirage is the highest concentrations of the variables mapped are in urban areas and the lowest values are in the most sparsely populated parts of the country.
These maps all show the same thing and now you're a pro who can spot the mirage—you know what to look for! You'll be surprised at how many maps you come across that are population density mirages.
Are you able to interpret the information the map below is trying to convey? I sure can't!
This is a perfect example of doing too much. Conceptually, the map makes sense, but its execution is extremely flawed. The three colors for reading, writing, and earning money combine into a muddy unintelligible color-ramp. This means it will take an extremely long amount of time to interpret the results and the map reader has a hard time understanding the message and actionable items. Always remember, with maps, less is more!
When making a map, keep in mind whether someone with no context or knowledge would be able to understand and interpret it correctly without asking others for help. If they can't, your map needs to be simplified.
The easy fix for the map above would be to create a red, blue, and yellow map. Creating three separate maps would have made for a meaningful series of images rather than the unintelligible, bizarre color wheel we see above.
How are people going to be viewing my map? This is an easy question that often goes unasked when maps are being made. Will this map be printed? Will it be black and white or in color? How will it be shared?
If you keep these questions in mind, you'll avoid having a REALLY bad map in the newspaper like the AP did in the image above! Although this map probably looked great using red and blue colors when it was made, the cartographer did not factor in black and white newspaper printing. The result was a map where every state looks the same, which defeats the entire purpose of the map in the first place.
The easy fix for this map would be using grayscale or black/white coloring. By doing that, the map would make sense regardless of the print media used.
In an unrelated, but fun, note here is my "Wall of Why?" section: bad maps that make no sense, but are also kind of fun!
Why is this map bad? It accomplishes its goal of showing how far away parts of states are from their borders, but it does not present a reason for why this information would be useful. Without presenting a "Why?" with a map like this, it is just an interesting map that doesn't actually tell the viewer anything of use.
As an Ohio native, I found this map amusing, but that is all it is. The primary reason this map is bad is because the legend/symbology is arbitrary. When you symbolize your maps, you always want the symbologies to be actionable and tell the viewer exactly what they are seeing in no uncertain terms.
A classic member of the "Wall of Why," this map does not serve a purpose. What really makes it bad is the blue and yellow shading. You can tell someone scribbled the fill colors in hastily? If you are going to take the time to make a map, make sure you do it right!
Goats vs. Llamas, a battle we never knew existed! This map is bad because it is both arbitrary (it does not show the actual numbers/proportions of the the animals in each country) and it does not tell us why goats and llamas were selected. Why were cows, sheep, or other livestock were not included as well?
Life is too short and your time is too valuable to make decisions based off of bad maps. At Stratasan, we pride ourselves on making our maps as actionable and concise as possible.
This map is easy to understand and could be used by anyone within your organization without you having to explain it. The colors are crisp and the map looks good on the computer and when printed in color or black and white. It is not cluttered and draws the viewer's attention to what is important and does not distract them with what is not. Good maps are simple, but extremely useful!
Another example of a good map is this "Estimated Cardiology Visits by Census Tract from Other Facilities" map below. This map is from one of our sample markets.
This map looks complex at first glance, but once you look at it, the information is easy to interpret and digest. The red-to-blue color ramp instantly tells the viewer where high concentrations of cardiology discharges are. The labels have the exact number of estimated discharges and the thumbnail at the top-right shows the viewer exactly where they are looking within their larger market. All of these cartographic elements are hallmarks of good maps.
Maps are a great tool that can go unappreciated until you have to use a bad one. Hopefully, you'll now have better luck recognizing bad maps and appreciating good ones after reading this! Stratasan's goal with our maps since day one has been to provide the best maps with the most helpful cartographic design. This is something we have always done and will continue to do.

I've had the pleasure of working with many successful A/E firms over the years, ranging from small, first-generation firms, to companies that have been operating continuously for 50 years or more (including some that were founded in the late 1800s). I've always taken an interest in understanding how firms that have survived through multiple generations of ownership have accomplished such a feat. From my anecdotal observations, I've concluded that while there is no single recipe for a successful ownership transition, there ARE a number of common ingredients.
These "success ingredients" often include legal or financial aspects of transition plans, such as how a firm values its shares, how stock redemptions are financed, and whether shareholders are bound by non-compete agreements. But they can also include cultural or human resource matters, such as how internal communications are handled, how a company is structured organizationally, how concentrated or distributed its ownership is, how new leaders are trained and groomed, and how new owners are selected.
Firms that have managed their way through multiple generations of ownership may have learned the key ingredients though many years of trial and error, but owners nearing retirement age have precious little time for experimentation, and the penalty for failure is high.
A successful transition ensures the continuity of the business, provides job security for the staff, and a healthy return on investment of the company's shareholders. A failed transition could leave a company with no choice but to shut its doors—leaving clients in the lurch, employees without jobs, and shareholders with little or no value for their stock.
Wouldn't it be great if there was a single resource detailing the practices of A/E firms with respect to ownership structure and ownership transition–a resource that first generation firms could use to discover those "key ingredients" for a successful ownership plan, and that well-established firms could use to benchmark and refine their plans and policies? What if such a study went even further—analyzing and isolating best practices, and allowing a firm to compare its own ownership structure and policies to those of its peers?
As a participant, you'll receive a summary report of the findings together with commentary and analysis on the state of ownership transition in the A/E industry. You will also have access to personalized online reports comparing your answers to the survey findings.
I hope you'll take a moment to participate in the survey be a part of this important new study.

Hosts secure place in women's final at Pacific-Asia Curling Championships
By Florence Almond
Hosts South Korea booked their spot in the Pacific-Asia Curling Championships women's final after defeating China 7-4 in the last four at the Gangneung Curling Centre.
The venue also played host to the curling events at the Pyeongchang 2018 Winter Olympics.
With their win, the South Korean team have also qualified for the World Women's Curling Championships in Silkeborg, Denmark, in March 2019.
The hosts took a 4-1 lead after the fourth end to take control of the match.
China closed the gap in the seventh and halved South Korea's advantage to 6-3.
The South Korean skip, Minji Kim, held firm in the ninth end with a double take-out with her final stone to score a single point and increase their lead to 7-4.
After a tough game with China, Korea win and advance to the Gold medal game!#curling #PACC2018 pic.twitter.com/ra60fyrovE
— World Curling (@worldcurling) November 8, 2018
"Before this game we tried to talk a lot about the game, that's why we didn't make any mistakes," said Kim.
"This was the semi-final, before the final, so we were under a lot of pressure.
"We tried to relax and relax, that's the key point.
"Actually, this Pacific-Asia Championship is our first time to be here and the world women's will be our first one as well, that's why we were a little bit under pressure.
"We are happy and we have a good reason to be in the world women's."
China will now play in the women's bronze medal match on Saturday (November 10) and have also qualified for the inaugural World Qualification Event hosted in Naseby, New Zealand, in January 2019.
The remaining women's semi-final between Japan and Hong Kong and both men's semi-finals will be played tomorrow.

Blocking broadcast traffic on Cisco routers.
CISCO – Blocking broadcast traffic.
We've had some requests for examples of how to filter broadcast traffic.
If your network is composed *only* of /24 allocations (ie you're not supernetting or subnetting anywhere on class C's, or all your class A/B networks are subnetted as /24's), then you can do all the filtering with one filter on your *inbound* Internet interfaces.
Another way to do it is to only filter to the broadcast addresses *outgoing* on your directly connected interfaces.
I've just been made aware of a command for ciscos, 'ip directed-broadcast'.
Specifically, the 'no' form of the command will not convert broadcast packets (all ones, I think) into broadcast ethernet packets, on the final, directly connected interface.
To enable the translation of directed broadcast to physical broadcasts, use the ip directed-broadcast interface configuration command. To disable this function, use the no form of this command.
What I take this to mean is that 'no ip directed-broadcast' will prevent the mapping of broadcast packets (I don't know what your cisco will guess 'broadcast packets' are) to broadcast ethernet framing. I think this will help… although I don't know all the ramifications, because I haven't used it, and don't know anyone who has.
And a final note: there are very few applications which depend on the routing of broadcast packets. You may know of one such application; if it's a popular one that you think lots of people are using, speak up. So you should feel safe in blocking broadcast traffic in your network. Popular applications which depend on *non*-routed broadcast traffic include RIP and netbios (Microsoft's networking protocol). Putting filter access-lists on your interfaces should not interfere with non-routed broadcast traffic.
How do I enable debugging on a Cisco router?


As April arrives Queenslanders are clearing up after the devastation of Cyclone Debbie which damaged homes, businesses and agricultural crops. The full financial cost won't be known for some time, but in the meantime our thoughts and best wishes go out to all those affected.
Cyclone Debbie hit our shores just as the Australian farm sector had been enjoying the best conditions for decades. In early March, farm cash incomes were tipped to rise by 11 per cent this financial year before falling to more 'normal' levels in 2017-18, according to the Australian Bureau of Agriculture and Resource Economics and Sciences (ABARES).
On the global economic front, the big news in March was the US Federal Reserve's decision to lift interest rates by 0.25 basis points to between 0.75 per cent and 1 per cent. This is the second rise in three months, with two more expected this year. The immediate effect is a rise in the cost of funds for anyone borrowing in the US. Australia's big four banks, which get 40 percent of their funding overseas, lifted home loan interest rates for owner occupiers and investors.


Wow wow wow! Our cooks have been so busy preparing this amazing dinner. Some of the desserts look too good to eat!
Look out for some updates later to see your child enjoying their lunch with their friends!
