What is HIPAA compliant geocoding? Read this executive brief on safe and secure geocoding for protected health information.
You fly a drone? Then you must be familiar with LAANC, the Low Altitude Authorization and Notification Capability. It provides drone pilots with access to controlled airspace at or below 400 feet. Included is an FAA web app that provides near real-time authorization to conduct drone flights in controlled airspace. Drone pilots can use it to easily locate LAANC enabled airports, understand the airspace classification, determine the latitude/longitude of the proposed flight location, and view altitude restriction grids. Apps such as FAADroneZone, AirMap, Aeronyde, Converge, Kittyhawk, Skyward, and UASidekick will provide the map and the ability to acquire LAANC authorizations.
The web map is also available to the public. Check it out!

Found this interesting website about a new report examining about how the geography of US employment in manufacturing and other industries has changed over approximately the past 75 years. This report found that “the manufacturing industry has lost ground in many places across the US and is now the largest employer in only two states–Indiana and Wisconsin.”
Check out the interactive visualizations and maps. The first two visualizations allow you to explore shifts in employment and economic output trends from 1940 to 2016 for a variety of industries at both the national and state level. The other three visualizations focus on changes in the manufacturing industry in more recent decades and include data down to the county level. You can also download the full 56-page report.
