(143.1) 13:0.1 BETWEEN the central Isle of Paradise and the innermost of the Havona planetary circuits there are situated in space three lesser circuits of special spheres. The innermost circuit consists of the seven secret spheres of the Universal Father; the second group is composed of the seven luminous worlds of the Eternal Son; in the outermost are the seven immense spheres of the Infinite Spirit, the executive-headquarters worlds of the Seven Master Spirits.
(143.2) 13:0.2 These three seven-world circuits of the Father, the Son, and the Spirit are spheres of unexcelled grandeur and unimagined glory. Even their material or physical construction is of an order unrevealed to you. Each circuit is diverse in material, and each world of each circuit is different excepting the seven worlds of the Son, which are alike in physical constitution. All twenty-one are enormous spheres, and each group of seven is differently eternalized. As far as we know they have always been; like Paradise they are eternal. There exists neither record nor tradition of their origin.
(143.3) 13:0.3 The seven secret spheres of the Universal Father, circulating about Paradise in close proximity to the eternal Isle, are highly reflective of the spiritual luminosity of the central shining of the eternal Deities, shedding this light of divine glory throughout Paradise and even upon the seven circuits of Havona.
(143.4) 13:0.4 On the seven sacred worlds of the Eternal Son there appear to take origin the impersonal energies of spirit luminosity. No personal being may sojourn on any of these seven shining realms. With spiritual glory they illuminate all Paradise and Havona, and they directionize pure spirit luminosity to the seven superuniverses. These brilliant spheres of the second circuit likewise emit their light (light without heat) to Paradise and to the billion worlds of the seven-circuited central universe.
(143.5) 13:0.5 The seven worlds of the Infinite Spirit are occupied by the Seven Master Spirits, who preside over the destinies of the seven superuniverses, sending forth the spiritual illumination of the Third Person of Deity to these creations of time and space. And all Havona, but not the Isle of Paradise, is bathed in these spiritualizing influences.
(143.6) 13:0.6 Although the worlds of the Father are ultimate status spheres for all Father-endowed personalities, this is not their exclusive function. Many beings and entities other than personal sojourn on these worlds. Each world in the circuit of the Father and the circuit of the Spirit has a distinct type of permanent citizenship, but we think the Son's worlds are inhabited by uniform types of other-than-personal beings. Father fragments are among the natives of Divinington; the other orders of permanent citizenship are unrevealed to you.
(143.7) 13:0.7 The twenty-one Paradise satellites serve many purposes in both central and superuniverses not disclosed in these narratives. You are able to understand so little of the life of these spheres that you cannot hope to gain anything like a consistent view of them, either as to nature or function; thousands of activities are there going on which are unrevealed to you. These twenty-one spheres embrace the potentials of the function of the master universe. These papers afford only a fleeting glimpse of certain circumscribed activities pertaining to the present universe age of the grand universe — rather, one of the seven sectors of the grand universe.
(144.1) 13:1.1 The Father's circuit of sacred life spheres contains the only inherent personality secrets in the universe of universes. These satellites of Paradise, the innermost of the three circuits, are the only forbidden domains concerned with personality in the central universe. Nether Paradise and the worlds of the Son are likewise closed to personalities, but neither of those realms is in any way directly concerned with personality.
(144.2) 13:1.2 The Paradise worlds of the Father are directed by the highest order of the Stationary Sons of the Trinity, the Trinitized Secrets of Supremacy. Of these worlds I can tell little; of their manifold activities I may tell less. Such information concerns only those beings who function thereon and go forth therefrom. And though I am somewhat familiar with six of these special worlds, never have I landed on Divinington; that world is wholly forbidden to me.
(144.3) 13:1.3 One of the reasons for the secrecy of these worlds is because each of these sacred spheres enjoys a specialized representation, or manifestation, of the Deities composing the Paradise Trinity; not a personality, but a unique presence of Divinity which can only be appreciated and comprehended by those particular groups of intelligences resident on, or admissible to, that particular sphere. The Trinitized Secrets of Supremacy are the personal agents of these specialized and impersonal presences of Divinity. And the Secrets of Supremacy are highly personal beings, superbly endowed and marvelously adapted to their exalted and exacting work.
(144.4) 13:1.4 1. DIVININGTON. This world is, in a unique sense, the "bosom of the Father," the personal-communion sphere of the Universal Father, and thereon is a special manifestation of his divinity. Divinington is the Paradise rendezvous of the Thought Adjusters, but it is also the home of numerous other entities, personalities, and other beings taking origin in the Universal Father. Many personalities besides the Eternal Son are of direct origin by the solitary acts of the Universal Father. Only the Father fragments and those personalities and other beings of direct and exclusive origin in the Universal Father fraternize and function on this abode.
(144.5) 13:1.5 The secrets of Divinington include the secret of the bestowal and mission of Thought Adjusters. Their nature, origin, and the technique of their contact with the lowly creatures of the evolutionary worlds is a secret of this Paradise sphere. These amazing transactions do not personally concern the rest of us, and therefore do the Deities deem it proper to withhold certain features of this great and divine ministry from our full understanding. In so far as we come in contact with this phase of divine activity, we are permitted full knowledge of these transactions, but concerning the intimate details of this great bestowal we are not fully informed.
(145.1) 13:1.6 This sphere also holds the secrets of the nature, purpose, and activities of all other forms of Father fragments, of the Gravity Messengers, and of hosts of other beings unrevealed to you. It is highly probable that those truths pertaining to Divinington which are withheld from me, if revealed, would merely confuse and handicap me in my present work, and still again, perhaps they are beyond the conceptual capacity of my order of being.
(145.2) 13:1.7 2. SONARINGTON. This sphere is the "bosom of the Son," the personal receiving world of the Eternal Son. It is the Paradise headquarters of the descending and ascending Sons of God when, and after, they are fully accredited and finally approved. This world is the Paradise home for all Sons of the Eternal Son and of his co-ordinate and associate Sons. There are numerous orders of divine sonship attached to this supernal abode which have not been revealed to mortals since they are not concerned with the plans of the ascension scheme of human spiritual progression through the universes and on to Paradise.
(145.3) 13:1.8 The secrets of Sonarington include the secret of the incarnation of the divine Sons. When a Son of God becomes a Son of Man, is literally born of woman, as occurred on your world nineteen hundred years ago, it is a universal mystery. It is occurring right along throughout the universes, and it is a Sonarington secret of divine sonship. The Adjusters are a mystery of God the Father. The incarnation of the divine Sons is a mystery of God the Son; it is a secret locked up in the seventh sector of Sonarington, a realm penetrated by none save those who have personally passed through this unique experience. Only those phases of incarnation having to do with your ascension career have been brought to your notice. There are many other phases of the mystery of the incarnation of the Paradise Sons of unrevealed types on missions of universe service which are undisclosed to you. And there are still other Sonarington mysteries.
(145.4) 13:1.9 3. SPIRITINGTON. This world is the "bosom of the Spirit," the Paradise home of the high beings that exclusively represent the Infinite Spirit. Here forgather the Seven Master Spirits and certain of their offspring from all universes. At this celestial abode may also be found numerous unrevealed orders of spirit personalities, beings assigned to the manifold activities of the universe not associated with the plans of upstepping the mortal creatures of time to the Paradise levels of eternity.
(145.5) 13:1.10 The secrets of Spiritington involve the impenetrable mysteries of reflectivity. We tell you of the vast and universal phenomenon of reflectivity, more particularly as it is operative on the headquarters worlds of the seven superuniverses, but we never fully explain this phenomenon, for we do not fully understand it. Much, very much, we do comprehend, but many basic details are still mysterious to us. Reflectivity is a secret of God the Spirit. You have been instructed concerning reflectivity functions in relation to the ascension scheme of mortal survival, and it does so operate, but reflectivity is also an indispensable feature of the normal working of numerous other phases of universe occupation. This endowment of the Infinite Spirit is also utilized in channels other than those of intelligence gathering and information dissemination. And there are other secrets of Spiritington.
(145.6) 13:1.11 4. VICEGERINGTON. This planet is the "bosom of the Father and the Son" and is the secret sphere of certain unrevealed beings who take origin by the acts of the Father and the Son. This is also the Paradise home of many glorified beings of complex ancestry, those whose origin is complicated because of the many diverse techniques operative in the seven superuniverses. Many groups of beings forgather on this world whose identity has not been revealed to Urantia mortals.
(146.1) 13:1.12 The secrets of Vicegerington include the secrets of trinitization, and trinitization constitutes the secret of authority to represent the Trinity, to act as vicegerents of the Gods. Authority to represent the Trinity attaches only to those beings, revealed and unrevealed, who are trinitized, created, eventuated, or eternalized by any two or all three of the Paradise Trinity. Personalities brought into being by the trinitizing acts of certain types of glorified creatures represent no more than the conceptual potential mobilized in that trinitization, albeit such creatures may ascend the path of Deity embrace open to all of their kind.
(146.2) 13:1.13 Nontrinitized beings do not fully understand the technique of trinitization by either two or three Creators or by certain creatures. You will never fully understand such a phenomenon unless, in the far-distant future of your glorified career, you should essay and succeed in such an adventure, because otherwise these secrets of Vicegerington will always be forbidden you. But to me, a high Trinity-origin being, all sectors of Vicegerington are open. I fully understand, and just as fully and sacredly protect, the secret of my origin and destiny.
(146.3) 13:1.14 There are still other forms and phases of trinitization which have not been brought to the notice of the Urantia peoples, and these experiences, in their personal aspects, are duly protected in the secret sector of Vicegerington.
(146.4) 13:1.15 5. SOLITARINGTON. This world is the "bosom of the Father and the Spirit" and is the rendezvous of a magnificent host of unrevealed beings of origin in the conjoint acts of the Universal Father and the Infinite Spirit, beings who partake of the traits of the Father in addition to their Spirit inheritance.
(146.5) 13:1.16 This is also the home of the Solitary Messengers and of other personalities of the superangelic orders. You know of very few of these beings; there are vast numbers of orders unrevealed on Urantia. Because they are domiciled on the fifth world, it does not necessarily follow that the Father had aught to do with the creation of Solitary Messengers or their superangelic associates, but in this universe age he does have to do with their function. During the present universe age this is also the status sphere of the Universe Power Directors.
(146.6) 13:1.17 There are numerous additional orders of spirit personalities, beings unknown to mortal man, who look upon Solitarington as their Paradise home sphere. It should be remembered that all divisions and levels of universe activities are just as fully provided with spirit ministers as is the realm concerned with helping mortal man ascend to his divine Paradise destiny.
(146.7) 13:1.18 The secrets of Solitarington. Besides certain secrets of trinitization, this world holds the secrets of the personal relation of the Infinite Spirit with certain of the higher offspring of the Third Source and Center. On Solitarington are held the mysteries of the intimate association of numerous unrevealed orders with the spirits of the Father, of the Son, and of the Spirit, with the threefold spirit of the Trinity, and with the spirits of the Supreme, the Ultimate, and the Supreme-Ultimate.
(146.8) 13:1.19 6. SERAPHINGTON. This sphere is the "bosom of the Son and the Spirit" and is the home world of the vast hosts of unrevealed beings created by the Son and the Spirit. This is also the destiny sphere of all ministering orders of the angelic hosts, including supernaphim, seconaphim, and seraphim. There also serve in the central and outlying universes many orders of superb spirits who are not "ministering spirits to those who shall be heirs of salvation." All these spirit workers in all levels and realms of universe activities look upon Seraphington as their Paradise home.
(147.1) 13:1.20 The secrets of Seraphington involve a threefold mystery, only one of which I may mention — the mystery of seraphic transport. The ability of various orders of seraphim and allied spirit beings to envelop within their spirit forms all orders of nonmaterial personalities and to carry them away on lengthy interplanetary journeys, is a secret locked up in the sacred sectors of Seraphington. The transport seraphim comprehend this mystery, but they do not communicate it to the rest of us, or perhaps they cannot. The other mysteries of Seraphington pertain to the personal experiences of types of spirit servers as yet not revealed to mortals. And we refrain from discussing the secrets of such closely related beings because you can almost comprehend such near orders of existence, and it would be akin to betrayal of trust to present even our partial knowledge of such phenomena.
(147.2) 13:1.21 7. ASCENDINGTON. This unique world is the "bosom of the Father, Son, and Spirit," the rendezvous of the ascendant creatures of space, the receiving sphere of the pilgrims of time who are passing through the Havona universe on their way to Paradise. Ascendington is the actual Paradise home of the ascendant souls of time and space until they attain Paradise status. You mortals will spend most of your Havona "vacations" on Ascendington. During your Havona life Ascendington will be to you what the reversion directors were during the local and superuniverse ascension. Here you will engage in thousands of activities which are beyond the grasp of mortal imagination. And as on every previous advance in the Godward ascent, your human self will here enter into new relationships with your divine self.
(147.3) 13:1.22 The secrets of Ascendington include the mystery of the gradual and certain building up in the material and mortal mind of a spiritual and potentially immortal counterpart of character and identity. This phenomenon constitutes one of the most perplexing mysteries of the universes — the evolution of an immortal soul within the mind of a mortal and material creature.
(147.4) 13:1.23 You will never fully understand this mysterious transaction until you reach Ascendington. And that is just why all Ascendington will be open to your wondering gaze. One seventh of Ascendington is forbidden to me — that sector concerned with this very secret which is (or will be) the exclusive experience and possession of your type of being. This experience belongs to your human order of existence. My order of personality is not directly concerned with such transactions. It is therefore forbidden to me and eventually revealed to you. But even after it is revealed to you, for some reason it forever remains your secret. You do not reveal it to us nor to any other order of beings. We know about the eternal fusion of a divine Adjuster and an immortal soul of human origin, but the ascendant finaliters know this very experience as an absolute reality.
(147.5) 13:2.1 These home worlds of the diverse orders of spiritual beings are tremendous and stupendous spheres, and they are equal to Paradise in their matchless beauty and superb glory. They are rendezvous worlds, reunion spheres, serving as permanent cosmic addresses. As finaliters you will be domiciled on Paradise, but Ascendington will be your home address at all times, even when you enter service in outer space. Through all eternity you will regard Ascendington as your home of sentimental memories and reminiscent recollections. When you become seventh-stage spirit beings, possibly you will give up your residential status on Paradise.
(148.1) 13:2.2 If outer universes are in the making, if they are to be inhabited by time creatures of ascension potential, then we infer that these children of the future will also be destined to look upon Ascendington as their Paradise home world.
(148.2) 13:2.3 Ascendington is the only sacred sphere that will be unreservedly open to your inspection as a Paradise arrival. Vicegerington is the only sacred sphere that is wholly and unreservedly open to my scrutiny. Though its secrets are concerned in my origin, in this universe age I do not regard Vicegerington as my home. Trinity-origin beings and trinitized beings are not the same.
(148.3) 13:2.4 The Trinity-origin beings do not fully share the Father's worlds; they have their sole homes on the Isle of Paradise in close proximity to the Most Holy Sphere. They often appear on Ascendington, the "bosom of the Father-Son-Spirit," where they fraternize with their brethren who have come up from the lowly worlds of space.
(148.4) 13:2.5 You might assume that Creator Sons, being of Father-Son origin, would regard Vicegerington as their home, but such is not the case in this universe age of the function of God the Sevenfold. And there are many similar problems that will perplex you, for you are sure to encounter many difficulties as you attempt to understand these things which are so near Paradise. Nor can you successfully reason out these questions; you know so little. And if you knew more about the Father's worlds, you would simply encounter more difficulties until you knew all about them. Status on any of these secret worlds is acquired by service as well as by nature of origin, and the successive universe ages may and do redistribute certain of these personality groupings.
(148.5) 13:2.6 The worlds of the inner circuit are really fraternal or status worlds more than actual residential spheres. Mortals will attain some status on each of the Father's worlds save one. For example: When you mortals attain Havona, you are granted clearance for Ascendington, where you are most welcome, but you are not permitted to visit the other six sacred worlds. Subsequent to your passage through the Paradise regime and after your admission to the Corps of the Finality, you are granted clearance for Sonarington since you are sons of God as well as ascenders — and you are even more. But there will always remain one seventh of Sonarington, the sector of the incarnation secrets of the divine Sons, which will not be open to your scrutiny. Never will those secrets be revealed to the ascendant sons of God.
(148.6) 13:2.7 Eventually you will have full access to Ascendington and relative access to the other spheres of the Father except Divinington. But even when you are granted permission to land on five additional secret spheres, after you have become a finaliter, you will not be allowed to visit all sectors of such worlds. Nor will you be permitted to land on the shores of Divinington, the "bosom of the Father," though you shall surely stand repeatedly at the "right hand of the Father." Never throughout all eternity will there arise any necessity for your presence on the world of the Thought Adjusters.
(149.1) 13:2.8 These rendezvous worlds of spirit life are forbidden ground to the extent that we are asked not to negotiate entrance to those phases of these spheres which are wholly outside our realms of experience. You may become creature perfect even as the Universal Father is deity perfect, but you may not know all the experiential secrets of all other orders of universe personalities. When the Creator has an experiential personality secret with his creature, the Creator preserves that secret in eternal confidence.
(149.2) 13:2.9 All these secrets are supposedly known to the collective body of the Trinitized Secrets of Supremacy. These beings are fully known only by their special world groups; they are little comprehended by other orders. After you attain Paradise, you will know and ardently love the ten Secrets of Supremacy who direct Ascendington. Excepting Divinington, you will also achieve a partial understanding of the Secrets of Supremacy on the other worlds of the Father, though not so perfectly as on Ascendington.
(149.3) 13:2.10 The Trinitized Secrets of Supremacy, as their name might suggest, are related to the Supreme; they are likewise related to the Ultimate and to the future Supreme-Ultimate. These Secrets of Supremacy are the secrets of the Supreme and also the secrets of the Ultimate, even the secrets of the Supreme-Ultimate.
(149.4) 13:3.1 The seven luminous spheres of the Eternal Son are the worlds of the seven phases of pure-spirit existence. These shining orbs are the source of the threefold light of Paradise and Havona, their influence being largely, but not wholly, confined to the central universe.
(149.5) 13:3.2 Personality is not present on these Paradise satellites; therefore is there little concerning these pure-spirit abodes which can be presented to the mortal and material personality. We are taught that these worlds teem with the otherwise-than-personal life of the beings of the Eternal Son. We infer that these entities are being assembled for ministry in the projected new universes of outer space. The Paradise philosophers maintain that each Paradise cycle, about two billion years of Urantia time, witnesses the creation of additional reserves of these orders on the secret worlds of the Eternal Son.
(149.6) 13:3.3 As far as I am informed, no personality has ever been on any one of these spheres of the Eternal Son. I have never been assigned to visit one of these worlds in all my long experience in and out of Paradise. Even the personalities cocreated by the Eternal Son do not go to these worlds. We infer that all types of impersonal spirits — regardless of parentage — are admitted to these spirit homes. As I am a person and have a spirit form, no doubt such a world would seem empty and deserted even if I were permitted to pay it a visit. High spirit personalities are not given to the gratification of purposeless curiosity, purely useless adventure. There is at all times altogether too much intriguing and purposeful adventure to permit the development of any great interest in those projects which are either futile or unreal.
(149.7) 13:4.1 Between the inner circuit of Havona and the shining spheres of the Eternal Son there circle the seven orbs of the Infinite Spirit, worlds inhabited by the offspring of the Infinite Spirit, by the trinitized sons of glorified created personalities, and by other types of unrevealed beings concerned with the effective administration of the many enterprises of the various realms of universe activities.
(150.1) 13:4.2 The Seven Master Spirits are the supreme and ultimate representatives of the Infinite Spirit. They maintain their personal stations, their power focuses, on the periphery of Paradise, but all operations concerned with their management and direction of the grand universe are conducted on and from these seven special executive spheres of the Infinite Spirit. The Seven Master Spirits are, in reality, the mind-spirit balance wheel of the universe of universes, an all-embracing, all-encompassing, and all-co-ordinating power of central location.
(150.2) 13:4.3 From these seven special spheres the Master Spirits operate to equalize and stabilize the cosmic-mind circuits of the grand universe. They also have to do with the differential spiritual attitude and presence of the Deities throughout the grand universe. Physical reactions are uniform, unvarying, and always instantaneous and automatic. But experiential spiritual presence is in accordance with the underlying conditions or states of spiritual receptivity inherent in the individual minds of the realms.
(150.3) 13:4.4 Physical authority, presence, and function are unvarying in all the universes, small or great. The differing factor in spiritual presence, or reaction, is the fluctuating differential in its recognition and reception by will creatures. Whereas the spiritual presence of absolute and existential Deity is in no manner whatever influenced by attitudes of loyalty or disloyalty on the part of created beings, at the same time it is true that the functioning presence of subabsolute and experiential Deity is definitely and directly influenced by the decisions, choices, and will-attitudes of such finite creature beings — by the loyalty and devotion of the individual being, planet, system, constellation, or universe. But this spiritual presence of divinity is not whimsical nor arbitrary; its experiential variance is inherent in the freewill endowment of personal creatures.
(150.4) 13:4.5 The determiner of the differential of spiritual presence exists in your own hearts and minds and consists in the manner of your own choosing, in the decisions of your minds, and in the determination of your own wills. This differential is inherent in the freewill reactions of intelligent personal beings, beings whom the Universal Father has ordained shall exercise this liberty of choosing. And the Deities are ever true to the ebb and flow of their spirits in meeting and satisfying the conditions and demands of this differential of creature choice, now bestowing more of their presence in response to a sincere desire for the same and again withdrawing themselves from the scene as their creatures decide adversely in the exercise of their divinely bestowed freedom of choice. And thus does the spirit of divinity become humbly obedient to the choosing of the creatures of the realms.
(150.5) 13:4.6 The executive abodes of the Seven Master Spirits are, in reality, the Paradise headquarters of the seven superuniverses and their correlated segments in outer space. Each Master Spirit presides over one superuniverse, and each of these seven worlds is exclusively assigned to one of the Master Spirits. There is literally no phase of the sub-Paradise administration of the seven superuniverses which is not provided for on these executive worlds. They are not so exclusive as the spheres of the Father or those of the Son, and though residential status is limited to native beings and those who work thereon, these seven administrative planets are always open to all beings who desire to visit them, and who can command the necessary means of transit.
(151.1) 13:4.7 To me, these executive worlds are the most interesting and intriguing spots outside of Paradise. In no other place in the wide universe can one observe such varied activities, involving so many different orders of living beings, having to do with operations on so many diverse levels, occupations at once material, intellectual, and spiritual. When I am accorded a period of release from assignment, if I chance to be on Paradise or in Havona, I usually proceed to one of these busy worlds of the Seven Master Spirits, there to inspire my mind with such spectacles of enterprise, devotion, loyalty, wisdom, and effectiveness. Nowhere else can I observe such an amazing interassociation of personality performances on all seven levels of universe reality. And I am always stimulated by the activities of those who well know how to do their work, and who so thoroughly enjoy doing it.

Yesterday was our final day at GKTW. We checked out of our Villa and got the car all packed. We have a whole suitcase full of gifts from GKTW as well as a few souvenirs. Good thing one of her daily gifts at GKTW was a GKTW duffel bag! Before we checked out, we got to meet Leah. She is one of the event coordinators at GKTW and her dad is pastor at the church in Pierson where my stepdad (John) helps out from time to time. Small world, eh?
One of the coolest things about our checkout process was that they give us this passport. We have a full year to visit places all over the country that participate in the GKTW program. We can go to places like Hershey Park, Kings Dominion, Hyland Hills Water World, etc. for FREE with usually a week or two notice. What a great thing. At some point, I will list all the corporate sponsors and companies that make places like GKTW possible. These are businesses doing great things for families in need and they deserve your business!
After we said goodbye to GKTW, we headed over to Animal Kingdom. Again, we got the primo parking. We made our way into the park and headed off to the safari ride. Got to see lots of animals from crocs to hippos to lions. We then went on the Rafiki train ride and over at the Conservation Station we met Rafiki and Jiminy Cricket. Another great example of how Disney employees treat the Make-A-Wish families: as we were coming in to the Conservation Station, we saw Rafiki doing his meet and greet. We went up to see him and Rafiki's "assistant" told us that he was about to take a break and would be back in about 5 minutes. No problem. We were totally cool with that. Rafiki, however, had other ideas. He saw CJ (and probably Roger's Make-A-Wish tee) and stopped to greet her and take a few pictures. We got nice hugs from him too.
Later, when we went to see Jiminy Cricket, we pulled up to stand in line. It wasn't a very long line (maybe about 3-4 families) so we just pulled into the queue. One of the assistants looks over at us and says, "You know that you don't get in line. Come on over here!" And with that, we were bumped to the front. It was funny!
During the morning, Charlotte was very low key. She didn't really perk up and was very quiet. Roger and I weren't really feeling all that great either so it was kind of a rough morning. Things got better after lunch, though. We ate at the Yak and Yeti which was a Pan-Asian restaurant with cool Hindu decor. You felt like you were in a lodge in the mountains of India or Pakistan. Roger had a great meal of pan-seared miso salmon with rice and veggies. I had fried green beans with a chili-plum sauce and pan seared pork wontons with a lime soy sauce. Both were yummy!
After lunch, CJ seemed to perk up a bit and became much more talkative. We headed over to the Finding Nemo Musical show and we were AMAZED! First of all, we totally beat the crowds with our access pass. The musical was great and we were all entranced. They use puppets and live singers a la The Lion King musical. I think that was the highlight of everyone's day. CJ laughed at the funny parts and was entranced by the music.
From there, we went to see the 3-D bug movie (from A Bug's Life) and then found our stations for the parade. The parade at Animal Kingdom was not as interactive as the Magic Kingdom parade but there were great animal costumes, floats, and some of our favorite characters. From there, we left the park and drove to Daytona Beach. We had dinner with my mom and got settled in our condo. We are staying in one of my godmother's condominium units and it's GORGEOUS. 2nd floor...right on the ocean. I had forgotten how calming the sound of the ocean can be. We have had a nice night of rest and we have been enjoying the morning. Roger's dad drove down to spend a few days with us and we are planning to take the next few days VERY easily.
Roger noted yesterday that the extra steroid seemed to help with the tremors. We are already noticing those effects wearing off, though. The tremors seem to be coming back and we are debating the advantages of increasing the steroid versus letting things progress. May need to consult with the docs before the trip is over.
The Mechanicsville Moms are holding a used book sale at Romp n' Roll-VCM tomorrow (12/10) from 3-7 PM. There will be books available for all ages. Please stop by. All funds raised will go towards CJSTUF.
Also, the CJSTUF website is LIVE. Go there and check it out. Huge thanks to Ruth and Jay Campbell who have worked so diligently to get this going for us. It looks great! There is an events calendar where we will post upcoming events of all kinds. There is also a "read with CJ" calendar. If you are one of the many who would like to read with CJ, please fill out the form (on the Contact Us link) and we will get back to you about dates and times. We will officially start that upon our return from Florida (on or about 12/16). You will also be able to read the blog and connect through Facebook via the website. More changes to come but this is a wonderful start.
Nice article.I enjoyed reading the article.Keep posting.


The big summer tentpole Malayalam release this year is Mohanlal's Lucifer, the directorial debut of popular actor Prithviraj Sukumaran. The film is based on a story written by hard-hitting script writer Murali Gopy and is produced by leading producer Antony Perumbavoor. Lucifer was originally announced seven years ago as Mohanlal's magnum opus by director Rajesh Pillai, who passed away in 2016. In 2017, Gopy revived the film, along with Prithviraj coming on board as director.
Lucifer is a multi-starrer with Mohanlal, Manju Warrier, Vivek Oberoi (as villain), Indrajith Sukumaran, Tovino Thomas, Sachin Khedekar, John Vijay, Kalabhavan Shajohn and 20 other artists. The actual shoot of the film was completed in eight months and is now all set for a worldwide release on 28 March. In fact, Mohanlal has just completed a series of 26 day–26 character posters, introducing the principal actors of the film through his social media handles. Mohanlal's characterisation in the film has him play a family man with shades of grey.
The buzz is that Murali, who specialises in writing stories based on incidents from Kerala politics, has once again made a political thriller. The story is set against a central Travancore Christian political backdrop, with Mohanlal playing Stephen Nedumpally, a character said to be based on the life and times of a Machiavellian Kerala politician and a king maker.
Lucifer comes at a time when there are rumours regarding Mohanlal plunging into politics and contesting the Thiruvananthapuram parliament seat on a Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) ticket. The speculation started when last September, Mohanlal met Prime Minister Narendra Modi to brief him about his NGO. It set rumours that Modi was actively wooing the star to contest from the star's home town Thiruvananthapuram against BJP's bête-noire Congress MP Shashi Tharoor.
Mohanlal, like Tamil superstar Rajinikanth, has attracted the attention of the BJP-RSS cadre in Kerala as he has done many pro-Hindutva espousing characters in blockbusters like Narasimham, Ravana Prabhu and a few other films.
And the timing of the Padma Bhushan award conferred on him (he deserves it more than anybody else) by the central government just before the elections sets the tongues wagging. This created problems for the actor whose fan base is evenly spread across all religions in Kerala. Many posters and cartoons appeared lampooning the actor. It would have been suicidal for the actor to plunge into politics when he is still a superstar with the biggest opening in Kerala. Any association with a right-wing party would have jeopardised the star's box office pull as his fans extend across ideologies and religions.
The box office success of Lucifer will make Mohanlal more confident as his last release Odiyan took a fantastic opening but fell later as his fans did not like the film as a whole. Lucifer is expected to release in nearly 1000 to 1200 screens worldwide on 28 March, the beginning of the summer holiday season. The film will have dubbed versions in other South Indian languages releasing simultaneously along with the Malayalam version. The fan shows across Kerala are expected to start from 7 am. Producer Antony Perumbavoor is going all out to create a hype and hoopla around the film, with the trailer launch on 20 March.

Islam and the West ( 18 Sept 2013, NewAgeIslam.Com)
Truth of US-Russia Confrontation: Aggression was over the Moment those Two Missiles were Fired
By Daoud Rammal<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
US Russia Navy
A well informed diplomatic source told As-Safir newspaper that "the US war on Syria had started and ended the moment those two ballistic missiles were fired, leaving inconsistent information, as Israel denied and Russia confirmed, until an Israeli statement was issued indicating they were fired in the context of an Israeli-US joint drill and fell in the sea, and that they were not related to the Syrian crisis."
The source further told the Lebanese daily that "the US forces fired these two rockets from a NATO base in Spain, and were instantly detected by the Russian radars and confronted by the Russian defense systems, so one of them exploded in the airspace and the second one diverted towards the sea."
In this context, the source pointed out that "the statement issued by the Russian Defense Ministry, which stated the detection of two ballistic missiles fired towards the Middle East, intended to neglect two points: the first was the location from which the two rockets were fired, and the second was their downing. Why? Because the moment the full military operation was launched, Head of the Russian Intelligence Service contacted the US intelligence and informed it that "hitting Damascus means hitting Moscow, and we have removed the term "downed the two missiles" from the statement to preserve the bilateral relations and to avoid escalation. Therefore, you must immediately reconsider your policies, approaches and intentions on the Syrian crisis, as you must be certain that you cannot eliminate our presence in the Mediterranean."
"This unannounced direct confrontation between Moscow and Washington increased the Obama Administration's confusion and certainty that the Russian side was ready to move until the end with the Syrian cause, and that the US did not have a way out of its impasse except through a Russian initiative which would save America's face…" he added.
From this point, the diplomatic source clarified that "in order to avoid further US confusion, and after Israel denied knowing anything about the rocket firing in its first statement, which is the truth, Washington demanded Tel Aviv to adopt the rocket firing to save its face in front of the International Community, especially since these two rockets were the beginning of the US aggression on Syria and the announcement of the beginning of military operations, after which US President Barack Obama was supposed to go to the G20 Summit in Russia to negotiate the destiny of Syrian President Bashr Al-Assad. However, he went to find a way out of the impasse he's in."
The source further indicated that "after the US-Russia rocket confrontation, Moscow intended to increase its number of military experts in Russia, and added to its military units and destroyers to enhance its military presence in the Mediterranean. It also set a time for announcing about its initiative on stopping the aggression on Syria after the G20 Summit, after drawing a side scene on the sidelines of the summit which was followed by two successive visits for Iranian Foreign Minister, Hussein Amir Abdul Lahyan, and Syrian Foreign Minister, Walid Al-Moallem, in which a way out was agreed on with the Russian side, and it included a Syrian announcement on approving the Russian initiative regarding putting Syrian chemical weapons under international supervision and preparing Syria for joining the non-proliferation treaty.
Finally, the source pointed out that "One of the first results of the US-Russian military confrontation was the British House of Commons' rejection to participate in a war on Syria. This was followed by European stances, most significantly, the German stance announced by Chancellor Angela Merkel."

In the wake of Yahoo's stock slide yesterday, NYU Stern professor Scott Gallowayhad harsh words this morningfor CEO Marissa Mayer, calling her "the most overpaid CEO in history" and claiming she would be fired if she hadn't recently announced she was pregnant with twins.
On Tuesday,Yahoo stock tankedafter unfavorable news aboutits planned tax-free Alibaba spinoff. While the maneuver could still go through, the IRS declined to give Yahoo a "private letter ruling," which would have guaranteed the spin-off would satisfy IRS requirements.
In short, it's still up in the air.
Galloway has never been shy about speaking his mind. An irate email he once sent to a student who was late to his class, telling him to "get your s— together," went viral a few years ago.
Business Insider has reached out to Yahoo for comment and will update this post when we hear back.

What are Lost Schools?
Lost Schools of the 1990s
Lost Schools: 21st Century
Spotlight: Merri Creek Corridor
PO Box 188 Brunswick East VIC 3057
ua.moc.tsapehtmorfgninraelnull@seiriuqne
You've heard the news. By 2050 Melbourne will have 8 million people and replaced Sydney as the largest city in Australia. That's a fact, right?
Well, no. It's a possible scenario only, produced by the Australian Bureau of Statistics based on current growth rates for fertility, overseas migration and life expectancy. Indeed, under the "low fertility, overseas migration and life expectancy" scenario, Melbourne's population will be 7.353 million and Sydney's 7.716 million. To expect that recent conditions will continue for the next 34 years is a big ask.
Besides, the ABS does not know what developments are being approved around the nation. Instead, we need to look to the states and local government to get to the source of population trends.
State and local government projections
The Victorian Government updates its population projections annually (although the latest release dates back to 2016). Victoria in Future is the official state government forecast, and includes summaries for each Local Government Area (i.e. councils). By comparing the projections for various councils, there is a dramatic difference between outer suburban growth areas (e.g. Hume) and the established inner suburbs (e.g. Darebin).
There are complications though, for Victorian Government demographers are fixated on land release announcements, whereby new towns are expected to rise from former farmland. Hume has several examples, including Kalkallo and Sunbury. Darebin has none.
But parts of Darebin are experiencing major urban renewal, as are the cities of Yarra and Moreland. One problem with the Victoria in Future data is the failure to drill down to small areas (i.e. suburbs). This means that the infrastructure needs of fast growing suburbs will be obscured by the lower growth rates of the council as a whole. Consequently, Northcote and Brunswick East don't receive specific attention, no matter how many cranes appear on the skyline.
Another problem with Victoria in Future is the source data used. They don't receive direct feeds from councils based on approved planning applications, so it's something of a mystery how government demographers arrive at their projections. By contrast, virtually all Melbourne metropolitan councils subscribe to the .id consulting service. The .id approach to population projections is granular, building from small areas (e.g. Fitzroy North). In this way, the marked differences within council areas can be emphasised, unlike the Victorian Government data.
The .id methodology is far superior to the Victorian Government's when it comes to infrastructure planning for older, established areas. Every few years Councils provide data from their own planning application systems, which .id transform into small and larger area long term projections. The result is a repository of rich data ideally suited for infrastructure planning.
School enrolment projections
An upswing in primary school enrolments began several years ago, particularly in the eastern seaboard states. Paul Weldon of the Australian Council for Educational Research predicted that Victoria (along with New South Wales, Queensland and Western Australia) would see major increases in the number of students entering secondary schools from 2018.
Other experts have been warning of an impending school shortage for years. Professor Kevin O'Connor, Geoff Maslen and others have observed that inner city developments have proved attractive to families with children, and government planners have been caught out.
Victoria is probably worst placed to cope with the impact, as it closed so many schools in the 1990s. The Our Children Our Schools alliance was initiated by frustrated inner city parents, who have had to battle misguided or indifferent bureaucrats. It's no consolation to be told that inner suburban Sydney parents have experienced something similar.

"When I joined forces with a group of fresh graduates to start a dot com venture in 1999, I thought I had partnered a group of very enthusiastic young people who believed in what they wanted to do and had the passion to establish what we thought would be a great company. My first impression was that they were very creative in the way they established contact with me to communicate their desire to work with me on a start-up. At that time, I was quite prominently promoting entrepreneurship, which gave me a lot of visibility, so some people sought to make me their partner. Thus, I partnered them and we started a company with some initial ideas we thought would be great winners in the dot com world.
As we began the process, the hard work started, and because it was a tough environment, results were not easily achieved. Each time, when I energised the team to work on some interesting initiatives, I would see initial excitement, but each time, I saw that excitement waning quickly as the hard work did not produce immediate results. This went on a few times, and I started to wonder about the level of passion these people really had for what we were trying to do. Finally, one day, I had a heart-to-heart discussion with them about why they had lost interest and momentum in what we should have been doing quickly. After much discussion, it slipped out of one of them that "we do not feel the pinch because it is not our money." I was surprised, but I should not have been, because I was paying these guys a good salary at the same time as a good equity position, so they did not feel the pinch. Well, I told them I would immediately solve the pinch problem by cutting their salary by 50 percent until we saw some results.

For the buyer seeking an exceptional home to renovate to their personal style, it would be prudent to put 10 Arkana Drive at the top of your must-see list.
Landscaped gardens and large pool with spa.
Only 7 homes along Arkana Drive share the quietude of Moonare Park, the birdlife, natural beauty of the native flora and the cheeky Kookaburras that think pools are their private billabongs.
Not only does the property have great style it also has a great location. Check out the location.
1km walk/2-minute drive to the Sunday Farmers' Market and the Noosa Tiger's AFL Grounds on Weyba Road, Noosaville.
Originally purchased 20 years ago, the owners said it was the home's privacy, the peacefulness of the park and the outstanding views that initially attracted them to the property.
Sadly, ill-health means their unique Noosa residence will be sold. For expediency, it will be sold as is - somewhat dated but still exceptional.

In mathematics, a metric space is a set where a distance (called a metric) is defined between elements of the set. Metric space methods have been employed for decades in various applications, for example in internet search engines, image classification, or protein classification. For general background information on metric spaces, please refer to this Wikipedia page.
In petroleum reservoir modeling, metric space methods are not widely known, and few applications of metric space methods have been presented. Most all the work using Metric Spaces has come from the Stanford Center For Reservoir Forecasting under Prof. J. Caers' . The slow adoption is likely due to the fact that a significant majority of reservoir modeling studies are performed using a single reservoir model which is calibrated to historical data and then used for analysis and decision making.
Metric space methods are best employed to quickly analyze and interpret a group (ensemble) of reservoir models and are thus attractive methods for uncertainty studies or sensitivity analysis when a (large) ensemble of reservoir models is used.
A metric space (MS) in reservoir modeling is defined by a dissimilarity distance which measures the dissimilarity between pairs of reservoir models, shown schematically in the figure below (left). The distance measure applied over all model pairs forms a distance matrix shown in the figure below (center). The distance matrix defines the metric space. The metric space can be visualized using multi-dimensional scaling (MDS), whose output is shown in the figure below (right). MDS takes the distance matrix, and translates the models into points in a Euclidean space that can be visualized. The location of the points (models) in Euclidean space are optimized to best approximate the distances in the distance matrix. The MDS plot is a visual and diagnostic tool, allowing the visualization of model uncertainty & response sensitivity. MDS is a dimensionality reduction technique, similar to PCA.
Key Steps in the Construction and Visualization of a Metric Space
As is illustrated above, the distribution of the models in Euclidean space provides a visualization of the model similarity - models close to each other are similar in terms of the distance measure. Those models far from each other are dissimilar in terms of the distance measure.
Another important step for sensitivity analysis and screening of reservoir models is clustering of the reservoir models. Clustering of the models allows for a classification of models into discrete groups. This is useful for sensitivity analysis (comparing model properties within each cluster and between clusters), and screening (selection of models based upon cluster).
An illustration is shown in the figure below. The models in the MDS plot are colored by cluster. The clustering has grouped together models with similar cumulative oil production, as seen in the figures above the MDS plot. Given this information, one can examine the model properties in each cluster and understand which properties have a significant impact on the cumulative oil.
The technology page on sensitivity analysis and screening provides additional information on the application of metric spaces to reservoir engineering.
What is a Distance?
The creation of a metric space requires the definition of a dissimilarity distance, which measures the dissimilarity between two different models. The distance measure has two main requirements. First, since the distance must be calculated between each model pair, it should be rapid to calculate for large ensembles of models. Second, the distance measure must be designed for the purpose of the study to be undertaken. No single distance measure is applicable to all situations. Finally, the distance measure must be easy to understand, in order to understand the results of the study.
What distance measure should one use for a particular study? Often the solution is clear. For sensitivity analysis and screening for history matching purposes, most likely a distance using flow simulation is appropriate. For a study of uncertainty, static property-based distances have been used. Or, one can use a combination of distances, first a static property-based distance, then a flow-based distance. Some examples of distances follow.
Static-Based Distance Measures
One distance measure which has been commonly used in the past, yet not recognized as a distance, is the total pore volume, or OOIP of the reservoir model. Total pore volume is often used in ranking of reservoir models and model selection for uncertainty quantification or history matching. Static property-based distances such as this are attractive because they are fast to computer, since there is no flow simulation required. However, static-based distance measures can go beyond global properties such as total pore volume or OOIP.
One example of a grid-based distance measure is shown on the right. Here, the variable Y is the grid property, nb is the number of grid blocks, and nt is the number of time steps (if the grid property is a dynamic property such as water saturation).
A grid-based distance may be attractive if there are many models, flow simulation per model is expensive, and the modeler wishes to reduce the large set of models by selecting diverse models based upon some static measure (like pore volume or oil volume per block). However, if the goal of the sensitivity study or screening is to distinguish models based upon flow response, there is a question about whether a static-based distance is appropriate. The answer depends on the study in question and the specifics of the reservoir model and displacement.
Flow-Based Distance Measures
Because most of our studies involve flow simulation, a flow-based distance measure will most likely be an appropriate choice. Flow-based distances can account for dynamic properties such as relative permeability curves, phase properties (viscosity, Bo), and phase contacts, in addition to model heterogeneity and barriers to flow. However, there may be many models in the ensemble, and flow simulation on each model may be very CPU demanding depending on the reservoir model. For this reason, streamline simulation has been used as an effective flow-based distance measure, since it is known to be less CPU-intensive compared to standard flow simulation, and acts as a good proxy for flow simulation using standard simulation techniques (see for example, Scheidt & Caers 2009 SPE-118740-PA).
One extremely rapid flow-based distance measure which employs streamlines is the connectivity-based distance:
where Y is a flow measure between an injector/producer pair (such as the total rate), nc are the number of source/sink connections at a time step, and nt are the number of time steps in the simulation.
In essensce, the equation above calculates the difference between two FPmaps at a given time step (examples of FPmaps are shown to the right). This distance may be useful when examining the effect of different fault interpretations or depositional scenarios on the connectivity between producing wells and supporting injectors/aquifers. One major advantage is that only a single time step (snap-shot) is required to obtain a FPmap, so a full flow simulation is not required.
For studies involving history matching or uncertainty quantification of one or more flow responses, one may want to use a distance measure which employs flow simulation. Note again however that for large ensembles, these types of distance measures may be CPU intensive, therefore fast flow simulation techniques like streamline simulation may be of interest. Recall that one of the important requirements of a distance measure is that it must have relevance to the study to be performed. For example, a static grid block based distance measure may poorly distinguish the difference in water breakthrough times for different reservoir models. However, a streamline-based distance measure may be well correlated to the difference in water breakthrough times, as in Scheidt & Caers 2009 SPE-118740-PA.
A flow-based distance measure is shown below. This expression represents a time-step-weighted, root mean-squared value of the differences of a well variable Y over nt time steps. For sensitivity analysis or history matching of flow response, this would be an appropriate distance measure.
Flow-Based Distances and History Matching
The expression above is very similar to the well-known expression for the objective function used in optimization methods such as history matching. The main difference is that an objective function is a distance measure between a model and historical (observed) data, whereas the above expression measures the distance between two models.
When a flow-based distance is being used, or indeed, whenever any observed property of the reservoir is employed in a distance measure, we can add an additional row and column in the distance matrix containing the distance between each reservoir model response and the observed (historical) data.
The result is that, although there is no reservoir model associated with the historical data, it can be added to the metric space.
One clear benefit of this is that when visualizing the metric space using MDS, we can plot the historical data with the ensemble of reservoir models which were created. The figure on the right shows an example, where 37 reservoir models were created, and the dissimilarity distance measure is the well-level oil production rates. The simulated rates are compared to the historical rates , and the history is shown as a cube in the middle of the plot.


Real estate properties are very important in many fields.
Plant, equipment, cars or other machines are assets used by companies or by individuals.
Commodities include various recourses and precious metals as gold, silver and other.
Collectibles can be also valuable assets.
It is hard to say whether tangible or intangible assets are better investments. Both of these types may have their advantages or disadvantages. For example, tangible assets sometime create value by their existence: you may live in the house, you wear a gold bracelet or you can drive your exotic car. But such assets create problems too: some assets depreciate physically and morally over time, they need a place for storage and if they are valuable, they also require for high quality protection.


Your choice to take phlebotomy training at the minute will certainly more than likely even aid you to learn the solid seas of worldwide financial unpredictability.

Online retail giant Amazon is planning to launch its own ad-supported music service, which could launch as soon as this week. Unlike paid offerings, these streaming tiers typically do not allow users to save music for offline access, limit the number of songs that can be skipped, and block the ability to find and stream specific songs, instead requiring the user to put a playlist on shuffle.
Amazon Music Unlimited only costs $3.99 a month if the subscription is only used through an Echo device. Other services like Apple Music require customers to pay.

Another gigafactory to be built in Europe
Editor: Dennis Dahlgren
The European battery flora continues to grow and has a new player. Italvolt plans to build a battery cell factory with a capacity of 45 GWh in Italy.
The company writes on its website that it is currently evaluating three different locations in Italy, all of which meet its requirements for logistics and green energy. 100 hectares are being sought to build a 300'000 square metre gigafactory that will create 4,000 new jobs. At the same time, the company states that the wider Italvolt ecosystem will create up to 15,000 new jobs. Swedish industry news provider, Elektroniktidningen, who was first to report on this, noted that Lars Carlström holds the position of CEO at the new company. If the name sounds familiar it is due to his involvement in another high-profile battery project, in the same role, namely Britishvolt. The CEO told Elektroniktidningen that the project will be launched late this week, or possibly the following week. Until then, we'll have to make due with the information available on Italvolt's website. In addition to the massive battery factory, the company states that they are planning to build a 20'000 square metre for research and development centre. The goal is clear, on the website the company writes that it "aim to help European Automotive industry to defend its market position by building the first Giga Factory in Italy – a country where Alessandro Volta invented the battery in 1800."


Infographics that combine maps, charts, and text help to tell the full story of a geographical area. Without an automated workflow, creating a series of infographics that have the same layout and information but are specific to unique locations can be time consuming and tedious. Using a data-driven workflow will limit the number of files you'll need to edit and maintain throughout the course of the project.
This data-driven method applies to a variety of use cases, including delivering custom reports to elected officials. By telling representatives the story of how their jurisdiction compares to surrounding areas, you can help them understand the implications of their decision-making and drive conversation towards specific solutions for the people they represent.
In the past, we used this formula for creating custom reports to help a nonprofit advocate for the need for high-quality childcare in the Philadelphia region. Delivering custom reports to City Council members helped the nonprofit win $1 million in funding.
In this post, I'll walk through steps that result in a series of custom infographics that correspond to a list of geographies. The project example in this outline was completed for a Philadelphia regional transit advocacy groups, PA for Transit and 5th Square, and aims to illustrate bus and trolley performance statistics for the routes that run through each City Council District.
The backbone of this workflow is a spatial dataset. The visualizations on each document represent data analysis results for a specific geography.
In this example, we determined that a static design (rather than an interactive one) fit the needs of the advocacy group best, since they intended to share the documents as hard-copies or via email. In addition to displaying text and numerical metrics on the page, we included maps and charts to visualize the story of transit performance in each district.
Since I aimed to design one map layout that changes dynamically based on a list of geographies, I decided to use the Esri ArcMap Data Driven Pages tool. I'm using ArcMap 10.5 in this example, but Data Driven Pages functionality is baked into ArcGIS Pro as well.
The driving force behind this tool is an Index Layer that includes the geometries for each feature you would like to use as the either the subject or frame of the map. You have two general options for Index Layers: create an Index Layer or select an existing layer from your Data Frame.
Think about how you would like to design your map layout to determine which Index Layer option will work best for your project. If you set the portions of the bounds of geometries in your Index Layer equal to the map layout dimensions, you can use the Index Layer as the bounding box of the entire map. There are built-in tools in ArcMap that make it pretty straightforward to create an Index Layer using a vector feature input.
You can use either the Grid Index Features or Strip Map Index Features tool to create a custom Index Layer. The Grid Index Features tool works best for point or polygon inputs and the Strip Map Index Features tool works best for line inputs.
Navigate to ArcToolbox -> Cartography Tools -> Data Driven Pages and select the tool that matches your input feature type. Fill necessary options shown in the dialogue box.
It may be necessary to edit features in the resulting Index Layer when using these tools, especially the Strip Map Index Features tool.
Unless you need to display the Index Layer grid on the map, set the portions of the bounds of geometries in your Index Layer equal to the map layout dimensions. Then, use the Index Layer as the bounding box of the entire map.
Select any vector feature as the Index Layer. It's important to structure the attribute data in a way that is compatible with Data Driven Pages. At the very least, you'll need an attribute column with integer values that determine the sort order of features.
In this example, I set the Philadelphia City Council Districts spatial dataset as the Data Driven Pages Index Layer because I needed to cycle through maps by district.
To view Data Driven Pages options, right click on the top toolbar area and select "Data Driven Pages". Open the Data Driven Pages Set Up menu from the toolbar and enable Data Driven Pages. Then, select the Data Frame that you plan to export as the main map later.
The Name Field defines the label of each Index Layer feature within the Data Driven Pages dialogue. The Sort Field attribute values define the order by which Data Driven Pages will be displayed.
The Rotation and Spatial Reference fields come into play if you created an Index Layer using the Strip Map Index Features tool. The attribute, "angle", is calculated during processing. Remember, if you edit the rotation of features in an Index Layer that you created using the Strip Map Index Features tool, you may have to manually update the "angle" field.
The Page Number field is not necessarily a duplicate of the Name or Sort Fields. For example, your project may require you to sort using an integer field (1, 2, 3, 4, 5), but label Page Numbers with string values (1, 2, 3a, 3b, 4).
If you use an Index Layer that includes a set of unique geometries (i.e. City Council Districts or neighborhoods) you can define a margin for the Data Driven Pages Map Extent.
Define parameters in the Data Driven Pages menu and use the toolbar to cycle through map pages.
After you define Data Driven Pages parameters and complete the general map layout, style each feature layer.
In this example, I wanted to focus the reader's attention on the data within the City Council District.
To create maps for this project, I used the Page Definition Query method.
The bus and trolley route line features extended outside each district, but instead of clip route lines to the boundaries of each City Council District, I decided to show the full routes. If you're clipping features, you could use the built in geoprocessing Clip tool, or a script in Python or R to loop through the Index Layer, clipping the other data to each feature.
I styled the routes Symbology -> Categories -> Unique values, many fields styling option to define line color by performance value and highlight top/bottom performing routes.
Since bus routes often run on streets that share the district boundary line, I also used a line offset to bump out the border on the City Council District boundary. This removed the potential for overlapping lines.
Clip data to each Index Layer feature to display intersecting data. This map shows bus and trolley routes within the current Data Driven Pages Index Layer feature.
I also wanted to show American Community Survey (ACS) commuter data on the map to illustrate any correlations between low performing routes and high bus commuter need.
In order to display only ACS data within the district, I created an ACS centroid file and ran a spatial join operation with the City Council District data. Now that I had an attribute District in the ACS centroid file, I joined the data with the ACS polygon data to transfer the district values.
If you have data with attribute values that match the Index Layer Name values, you can use a Page Definition Query to display matching or non-matching features from the data.
Match the Index Layer Name Field attribute to display data within the current Data Driven Page feature.
Navigate to Layer Properties -> Definition Query -> Page Definition… and enable the tool. Select the field that matches your Index Layer Name Field. Then, you can either "Match" (display features within the Index Layer feature) or "Don't Match" (display features outside the Index Layer feature).
This map shows bus commuter data within the current Data Driven Pages Index Layer feature.
Although I wanted to highlight bus and trolley routes within the district, I also wanted to display the routes outside the district to provide some subtle spatial context that helps a reader understand the connection between districts.
To create a subtle display effect, I masked the routes and basemap outside the district by leveraging both clipping and Page Definition Query methods.
First, I created a large polygon that encompassed the Philadelphia region. Then, I clipped holes using each feature in the Index Layer and combined the outputs into one file. I set an attribute field District, defining each row in the new file. Last, I used the Page Definition Query tool to display only the relevant feature for each Data Driven Page and styled the polygon with a transparent grey color.
This map shows displays a grey transparent layer outside the current Data Driven Pages Index Layer feature.
Alternatively, you could set a transparency on specific feature layers, although this will not mute the basemap.
If you use the grid or strip map Index Layer output and would like the user to be able to identify adjacent index features, enable Maplex Label engine Data Frame Properties -> General -> Label Engine -> Maplex Label Engine and set the Placement Properties for the Index Layer to General -> Boundary Placement. Adjust the display settings to make the labels fit perfectly.
Enable the Maplex Label Engine and adjust settings to style boundary labels of Data Driven Pages Index Layer features.
I limited cartographic design to as few map components as possible. My goal was to produce an image file of a map focused on each district in ArcMap. I took care of styling other map components, like a legend and text elements, in Adobe Illustrator.
Tip: create a legend in ArcMap and export as an SVG to provide a starting point for styling in Illustrator.
We leveraged R to create a script that utilizes a loop function to create an output for each feature in the Index Layer we used during the mapping step of the project.
One of our resident R experts helped me whip up a script that generated one chart for each district. Like the map files, the R script can easily be iterated upon; the script includes chart data and design components as variables so that we could go back and tweak as needed.
Our goal was to plot the mean bus/trolley performance (percent on-time arrival) for routes that intersect each district.
First, we loaded in the ggplot2, ggthemes, dplyr, and scales libraries and read in a .csv of summary statistics. Then, we converted the mean performance to a decimal so that we could later display values as a percentage using the scales library.
Next, we created a for loop that cycled through each line in the dataframe and set a field value as selected or not_selected. We used this field value to style the color of the bars and created one chart for each district.
We defined each of the color design elements for the chart as variables so that we could update styling quickly based on feedback.
We also used the ggplot: geom-hline function to display a horizontal line for the target performance value.
Last, we placed a ggsave function within the for loop to export one chart for each district using a defined file naming convention.
# save each plot as a png. The dimensions can be changed. To save as svg, change the file ending and install the svglite library.
Similar to the strategy I used when styling the data driven maps, I limited chart design to as few components as possible. Since the ultimate goal was to create a report layout in Adobe Illustrator, I avoided adding a title, legend, or axis labels to the chart design.
The final result was a series of charts that highlight the district-of-interest.
This chart series shows the average bus and trolley performance (percent on time) for each Philadelphia City Council District. Target performance are displayed as horizontal lines.
The script is open source – feel free to fork and edit to fit your project!
Now that we exported charts for each district, we could add them to the report layout dynamically.
So far we worked through using a data-driven approach to create maps and chart to visualize aspects of the data analysis. There are several software tools we could use to compile these data visualizations into one report.
In this case, I chose Adobe Illustrator so that I could use the Data Merge feature. This specific workflow is compatible with Adobe CC. You may have slightly different interface elements and options in other versions of the software.
The general process for creating data driven graphics is to design a template, format a data source file, link objects in the template to the data source file, and export a template page for each data set.
First, open a new file in Adobe Illustrator with dimensions that work for your project.
I chose a standard portrait Letter layout since the advocacy group intended to share the reports as hardcopy and digital PDFs. Then I used File -> Place to add the maps and charts to the Adobe Illustrator document. Note that you only need to place one series of images.
In this case, I added the data for one City Council District manually to design the layout. Later, I referenced a source data file to change each object dynamically and exported a copy of the template for each district.
Even though this workflow is centered on static outputs, you can take inspiration from web interface elements that users recognize. I designed a second series of small maps using ArcMap Data Driven Pages that served as a profile picture at the top of each document.
I combined the ideas of locator maps from cartographic design and profile pictures from web design to inform the layout at the top of the infographic.
Designing the template and creating a source data file go hand-in-hand. You may need to cycle back-and-forth between these steps to configure the source data file in a way that matches the template design.
You can use a .csv file format as the source data to iterate through the list of features and create a unique page for each item.
First, create a .csv that includes all data you would like to display on the template. The file can include text strings, numerical values, and file paths. Each row in the data source file should correspond to the features that you used as the Index Layer in the map and chart steps.
For the transit advocacy project, I used a combination of text, numbers, and file paths to populate objects in the Adobe Illustrator template.
You can populate a text box in Illustrator with a text string from the data source file. If you're using a program like Excel to create the .csv, be sure to set the data type for the column to text. If you're working in a text editor, surround any text strings in double quotes ("this is a string").
I decided to convert numerical values to strings and include symbols or text descriptions in the same field. This added some flexibility to my template design because I could size objects to fit the area perfectly through each document iteration.
Using numbers in the source data file is pretty straightforward. If the numbers vary dramatically between Index Layer features, you'll need to design your template for the largest number.
One of the most powerful aspects of the Variable Importer feature is the ability to reference file paths from within an Adobe Illustrator template.
I created series of maps and charts that correspond to each City Council District. To display these images in Illustrator, I added the full filepath for each digital asset in the data source file.
Use a descriptive name as the column header in the data source file for easy reference later. It's important to use the proper formatting so Illustrator can read the filepaths: write the column header as @MapFilepath. If you're using Excel to create the .csv, you will likely need to add an apostrophe to the beginning of the column header name to ignore the @ as a formula input.
If you use the Variable Importer tool native to most versions of Adobe, you'll need to save your source data as an .xml file, not a .csv. Luckily, Vasily Hall wrote an open source script that allows you to read in a .csv source data file.
To read in the .csv data source file, I downloaded Hall's script and placed it in the Adobe Illustrator scripts directory on my machine.
Access the script in Adobe Illustrator via File -> Scripts -> VariableImporter.
Import window for Variable Importer open source script by Vasily Hall.
Select "Choose Data File" and browse to find your data source .csv file. Each column header should display as a Variable Name in the Import window. The data type column will help you to confirm whether the data will be imported properly.
Note that in the example window (shown above) the data type for InsetMap, DistrictMap, and Chart is "Image". This indicates that the Variable Importer script read the filepaths in from the data source file correctly.
Click "Import Variables" to configure the Variable Importer tool in Illustrator.
For additional details or troubleshooting information, follow the steps in this guide.
At this point, we have a template design and imported the data source as variables. To connect objects in the template to variables, enable the Variables toolbar (Windows -> Variables). Then, select an object and select the matching source data field in the Variables toolbar.
Click the "Make Object Dynamic" button at the bottom of the toolbar. The "Objects" column should populate with info from the source data file.
After you bind each object to a data source file attribute, you can cycle through the Data Sets using the arrow buttons in the Variables toolbar to preview each data driven document page.
All the work we did to create a full data driven design would be for naught if we had to save and export each document individually. Instead, we can create an Action in Illustrator and iterate through the Data Sets we generated with the Variables toolbar.
First, open the Actions toolbar (Window -> Actions) and select "Create New Action". Name the New Action to match the intended result – something like: "Save as PDF".
Then, "Start Recording" and navigate through the steps to save the document as a PDF.
You'll need to complete the Save process to record the full Action. "Stop Recording" to save the full Action.
To run the Action and export one version of the document for each Data Set, select "Batch" from the Actions toolbar. Select the Action you created ("Save as PDF") and set the "Source" to "Data Sets".
Enable "Override Action "Save" Commands" and select the directory location where you would like to save the files. Select a "File Name" convention and click "OK" to run the Action.
Batch Action window with settings to save a version for each data driven document.
Note that if you run the Action more than once without changing the export directory location, the Batch process will save over previous versions. Update the filepath or create a New Action to save different versions if you iterate on your design and would like to save previous drafts.
Need additional info? This Adobe guide covers the details of the process for creating data driven graphics in Illustrator using the Variables tool.
You likely saved a ton of time by implementing a data driven workflow – if your client or team requests edits to the maps, charts, or infographic document, you can make changes in a limited number of files, update every document, and export in a batch.
