Are new (young) drivers at greater risk at night than other drivers?
Last updated on Jul 24, 2019 10 min read
The Department for Transport recently announced that they were considering introducing graduated driver licences which potentially could see new drivers banned from driving at night. There is strong evidence that new drivers are at greater risk of involvement in a collision than more experienced drivers (e.g. this review paper by Williams), hence consideration of graduated licences. One proposed approach to these graduated licences is to ban new drivers from driving at night. Presumably the logic behind such a proposal is that new drivers are at heightened risk of involvement in a collision at night, particularly compared to other, more experienced drivers.
STATS19 data
In this post I provide some quick-and-dirty analysis about night-time risk for new drivers. Well, I say new drivers, but I actually look at young drivers, under the assumption that the vast majority of new drivers are also young drivers. I've used the stats19 R package created by Robin Lovelace and others to access road traffic collision (RTC) data from, er, STATS19, (the UK's national database of police-recorded collisions resulting in an injury). I've looked at 3 years of data between 2015 and 2017. All code for this analysis is available here.
Comparing the number of RTCs by driver age group against the number of licence holders in those age groups appears to confirm the increased likelihood younger drivers will be involved in an RTC (see Figure 1). It should be noted though that comparing RTCs frequencies against the number of licence holders does not account for possible differences between age groups in the amount of driving they do. It is possible, for example, that younger people drive more than older people, increasing their exposure to risk of an RTC.
Figure 1. Annual RTCs per 1,000 licence holders, by age group of driver involved in RTC. Annual RTC values based on average between 2015 and 2017. Licence holder numbers from November 2017, DfT table D0101
Temporal distribution of RTCs
To look at driving risk by age I have split the age of drivers into two categories - younger drivers (aged under 25), who also represent new drivers, and older drivers (aged 25+). Figure 2 shows the temporal distribution of RTCs for young and older drivers across a 24 hour day. The RTC hourly frequencies have been calculated as a proportion of the maximum hourly frequency, which for both age groups is 17:00-17:59. The plot shows an RTC involving a young driver is more likely to happen later at night or early morning, compared with those involving an older driver. On the face of it, this seems to suggest young drivers are at greater risk when driving in the late hours compared with older drivers.
Figure 2. Hourly counts of RTCs by age group of driver, as a proportion of the maximum hourly count.
Daylight vs Darkness
The proposal apparently being considered by the Government refers to driving at night, rather than driving after a certain time of day. I therefore considered the light conditions of the RTC and whether it happened in daylight or after-dark, as reported in the STATS19 record. Table 1 shows that 32% of RTCs involving a young driver happened when it was dark, compared with 24% of RTCs involving an older driver. This appears to confirm an increased likelihood of involvement in an RTC after-dark for young drivers, relative to older drivers. However, it again does not account for exposure levels. If young drivers do drive more frequently and for greater lengths of time when it is dark compared with older drivers, this would partly explain a greater proportion of RTCs occurring in dark conditions. Without data about driving rates at different times of day and by different age groups, it is hard to say whether the larger proportion of after-dark RTCs for young drivers does indeed reflect a greater risk at night. However, there is some evidence that age influences the times at which people choose to drive. For example, a number of studies including this one by Ball et al (1998) suggest older drivers self-regulate their driving behaviour and restrict the amount they drive at night. Such behaviour could reduce exposure to RTCs after-dark for older drivers.
Table 1. Proportion of RTCs in daylight and dark conditions by age group of driver, for all RTCs between 2015 and 2017.
Age group of driver
Young drivers (< 25 years) Older drivers (25+ years)
Light conditions during RTC Daylight 68% 76%
Darkness 32% 24%
Isolating the effect of darkness
One approach we have used in past work to try and control for exposure effects whilst examining the effects of light condition (e.g. this paper looking at the risk of an RTC after-dark at pedestrian crossings) is by counting RTCs in a specific hour of the day, e.g. 18:00-18:59. This hour is chosen so that for part of the year it is in daylight, and for the rest of the year it is in darkness. Counting only RTCs in a specific hour attempts to control for other factors related to the time of day that might influence risk of an RTC, therefore isolating the effect of the ambient light condition. Various conditions that influence RTC risk are likely to change with time of day, including the light condition, such as driving behaviours, traffic conditions and volumes, and types of drivers on the roads.
We can compare the odds of an RTC occurring in the Case hour when it is in darkness versus daylight for young drivers and compare this against the same odds for older drivers, to produce an odds ratio. This effectively shows whether the risk of an RTC after-dark for young drivers is greater than for older drivers. I've calculated this odds ratio using Equation $\eqref{eq:OR}$. In this equation, $YoungRTC_{dark}$ is the count of RTCs involving a young driver in darkness, $YoungRTC_{day}$ is the count of RTCs involving a young driver in daylight, $OldRTC_{dark}$ is the count of RTCs involving an older driver in darkness, and $OldRTC_{day}$ is the count of RTCs involving an older driver in daylight. An odds ratio significantly greater than one would indicate greater risk after-dark for young drivers, compared with older drivers.
\begin{equation} OddsRatio = \frac{YoungRTC_{dark}/YoungRTC_{day}}{OldRTC_{dark}/OldRTC_{day}} \label{eq:OR} \tag{1} \end{equation}
I used 18:00-18:59 as my 'Case' hour. I filtered the RTC records from STATS19 between 2015 and 2017 to only include those that occurred in this hour. I used the time of sunset at the location and on the date of the RTC to define whether it occurred in darkness or daylight. Time of sunset was calculated using the 'suncalc' R package by Thieurmel and Elmarhraoui. RTCs were defined as occurring in darkness if they happened after the time of sunset, and defined as occurring in daylight if they happened before the time of sunset. I recognise this is a fairly crude way to assign the ambient light condition at the time of the RTC - it will not be completely dark immediately after sunset, and equally the light condition may have been deteriorating before the time of sunset. However, for the purposes of this analysis, a crude distinction between daylight and dark conditions was acceptable. I have defined the ambient light conditions in relation to the time of sunset in this way, rather than using the light condition field that already exists in the STATS19 records, to provide a more objective and comparable definition of the light at the time of the RTC.
Table 2 shows the counts of RTCs by their ambient light condition and the age group of the driver. Using these counts and Equation 1, the odds ratio of young drivers crashing after-dark versus daylight, compared with older drivers, is 0.94 (95% confidence interval = 0.91-0.97).
Table 2. RTC counts 2015-2017 during the Case hour of 18:00-18:59, by age group of driver and whether RTC occurred in daylight or darkness (defined as before or after sunset).
Light conditions during RTC (based on time of sunset on date and at location of RTC) Daylight 9.069 20,329
Darkness 7,363 17,574
This odds ratio of 0.94 suggests that rather than the risk after-dark for young drivers being greater than for older drivers, the after-dark risk is actually slightly lower for young drivers compared with older drivers.
Confounding between young and new drivers?
In this analysis I have used young drivers as a proxy definition for new drivers, and have defined young drivers as being aged 24 or under. Using this definition, young drivers would have a maximum of 7 years driving experience, if they were aged 24 and had passed their test at 17. Perhaps 7 years of driving experience does not qualify someone as a 'new driver', and a graduated licence scheme is likely to only apply for the first one or two years after someone initially passes their test. However it is still reasonable to assume young drivers are also relatively new drivers - see Figure 3. This shows the number of new licences issued in 2017/18 by age of the new driver, as a cumulative percentage. Two thirds of people issued with a new licence were aged 24 or under, which suggests dichotomising the data into young and older driver groups as I have done is a reasonable way of capturing new, inexperienced drivers.
Figure 2. Cumulative proportion of new driving licences issued in 2017/18, by age of recipient. Data from Table DRT0203.
Ok, but let's assume the odds ratio we calculated above is being confounded by drivers in their early and mid-twenties, who fall into my 'young' age group of drivers but who may have a number of years experience of driving and are pulling down the after-dark risk of this young age group. To check this, we can change the age threshold for our young and older age groups and calculate the odds ratio again. If we now call only drivers aged under 20 'young', and anyone aged 20 and over as 'older', we can be more sure our young drivers are also new drivers, having a maximum of just two years of driving experience. Table 3 shows the RTC counts using this new threshold of young and older drivers. The associated odds ratio is 0.93 (95% confidence interval = 0.89-0.97) - virtually the same as when using 25 as the age threshold for the young and older age groups.
Table 3. RTC counts 2015-2017 during the Case hour of 18:00-18:59, by age group of driver (under 20 years or 20+ years) and whether RTC occurred in daylight or darkness (defined as before or after sunset).
Light conditions during RTC (based on time of sunset on date and at location of RTC) Daylight 5,642 23,756
What conclusion to draw from this analysis? For me, I need more persuading that young (new) drivers are at noticeably greater risk driving after-dark than any other group of drivers. A superficial examination of the stats suggests young drivers are involved in more RTCs after-dark than older drivers, but this does not account for potential differences in exposure. It seems plausible that young people are more likely to drive at night than older people, which might explain why they have more collisions at night. This is not the same as suggesting they are at greater risk at night.
When you attempt to account for exposure and other effects of the time of day, by only looking at RTCs in a specific 'Case' hour of the day and comparing daylight and after-dark ambient light conditions, a different picture emerges. The calculated odds ratio is actually less than one, suggesting if anything the risk after-dark for young drivers is lower than it is for older drivers. Regarding banning new drivers from driving at night as part of a graduated driving licence - the evidence needs closer examination before any such proposal be enacted.

Employment discrimination inquiry highlights value of digital accessibility
Wednesday, 15 April 2015 12:26pm
The role of digital accessibility in helping reduce discrimination against older Australians and those with a disability—while helping create value for employers—has been recognised at the launch of a new inquiry.
The National Inquiry into Employment Discrimination against Older Australians and Australians with Disability, launched today by the Australian Human Rights Commission and federal Attorney-General George Brandis will examine practices, attitudes and Commonwealth laws that deny or diminish equal participation in employment.
The inquiry, being conducted by the Age and Disability Discrimination Commissioner, Susan Ryan, will also make recommendations on actions to address employment discrimination against older Australians and Australians with disability, including potential amendments to Commonwealth laws.
Speaking at the Inquiry's launch, the Attorney General said that discrimination is consistently reported as one of the significant barriers of persons with a disability and older people for being able to gain employment.
"There is more that can be done to change stereotypes," he said. "We need to identify best practice in how to recruit and retain people, including what reasonable adjustments can be reasonably made to support older workers in the workplace."
Also speaking at the launch, the Age and Disability Discrimination Commissioner said it was important that employers such as Bunnings had made a deliberate decision to hire older Australians, and that other employers such as Westpac bank had understood the value of hiring more people with a disability.
"Amongst their employment base they have 12 per cent of people with a disability," the Commissioner said. "Given that the rate across the population is 15 per cent you have to say that Westpac has taken this seriously. And please note that Westpac is a very profitable organisation."
In a further example, the Commissioner said that ANZ bank was also implementing a whole-of-business strategy to ensure that all of its products and services are accessible to people with disability.
"That is everything that you do in banking—the ATMS, online banking—all of those things will be totally accessible," she said. "Again, they are doing these things because they have commitment to it but also because they see the business benefit of making sure they are accessible to the whole customer base."
Commenting on the launch of the Inquiry, Media Access Australia CEO Alex Varley said that a formal assessment by the Commission and Government was welcomed, as was the recognition of the role of digital accessibility—the practice of making devices, websites, apps, online documents, services and information useable by as many people as possible.
"The Inquiry will get employment practices—specifically around the relative ease of setting up office information technology systems to improve their accessibility—onto the agendas of board meetings and management teams, which is where they belong," he said.
"At the same time, and as the Commissioner's comments highlight, major organisations are increasingly recognising the real financial value in making their services and information accessible to as many people as possible.
"There is a powerful message here: that through adopting digital accessibility, organisations can both improve their employment of older Australians and people with a disability, and, that they can create value and a competitive edge."
Media Access Australia, Australia's only independent not-for-profit organisation devoted to increasing access to media for people with a disability, works with public—and private—sector organisations to improve their digital accessibility.
Through its digital accessibility services, Media Access Australia supplies professional services around improving the accessibility of online documents, website accessibility, organisation-wide accessibility strategy as well as professional development in accessibility.
Media Access Australia also helps increase inclusion through its thought leadership and research in important areas such as social media accessibility, service provision for people with disabilities and cloud computing and mobile accessibility.

The Commonwealth is assisting Guyana to create the regulations, policies and legislation it needs for a new petroleum industry that could inject billions into its economy.
Guyana is set to become a significant petroleum producer with proven reserves in excess of 3.2 billion barrels. The Commonwealth has been working with Guyana's Ministries of Natural Resources and Finance to effectively manage this resource.
The first phase of the petroleum production is due to begin in 2020 with an estimated 450 million barrels. A suite of laws, frameworks and policies, drafted with assistance from the Commonwealth, is being reviewed by the government to regulate it.
Daniel Wilde, who is leading the project for the Commonwealth, said these laws and policies will govern the exploration and production of crude oil and natural gas, the taxation of the petroleum industry and manage the revenue that comes from it.
"Guyana is determined to ensure that the petroleum industry contributes to sustainable economic and social development for the country," said Dr Wilde.
He explained that large and volatile petroleum revenues can lead to unstable and inefficient public spending and a loss of economic competitiveness.
Once a Natural Resource Fund is in place, public spending will not be linked to volatile petroleum revenues. The amount of public spending financed by petroleum revenues would not drive up the value of Guyana's currency, cause inflation or a loss of economic competitiveness. The fund will also ensure that a significant amount of revenue will be invested for future generations after petroleum production has ceased.
Dr Wilde recently made a presentation on the design of the Fund to Guyana's cabinet. "What is evident from my engagement in Guyana is that there is now a clear understanding and a lot of support for their Natural Resource Fund among a broad range of stakeholders," he told the ministers.

Opinion analysis: Federal judges have inherent, limited power to recall a discharged civil jury
Posted Fri, June 10th, 2016 11:28 am by Rory Little
Other than perhaps the Court's first use of "T-boned" to describe an automobile accident, there was little remarkable in yesterday's six-to-two decision in Dietz v. Bouldin. Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote for the majority that, at least when a jury has rendered a "legally impermissible" verdict, federal trial judges have "inherent" authority to "recall a [discharged] jury for further deliberations" – but that authority is "limited in duration and scope and must be exercised carefully." The key is whether "any suggestion" of or opportunity for "prejudice" of the jurors has arisen after the discharge. Moreover, yesterday's ruling is "limited to civil cases only" in light of "additional concerns in criminal cases, such as (as Justice Anthony Kennedy noted at oral argument) double jeopardy."
In dissent, Justice Clarence Thomas, joined by Justice Kennedy, argued that old common law cases did not recognize such discretion once a jury was formally discharged; on balance, he concluded, the Court should adhere to that easily administered rule. The majority's discretionary, "multifactor" approach, Justice Thomas argued, "will only create … confusion" and "produce more litigation."
Simple facts make good law?
As explained in my preview, Hillary Bouldin, while driving in Bozeman, Montana, "T-boned" the car that Rocky Dietz was driving, causing damage to Dietz's car and physical injury to Dietz. After Bouldin removed Dietz's negligence lawsuit to federal court, the parties stipulated to damages of $10,136. The question remaining for a jury was whether Dietz was entitled to more, and – if so – how much more.
After a two-day trial, the deliberating jury sent a note with a question about the stipulated $10,136 amount. The judge and the parties agreed that no further instructions should be given, but the judge noted that if the jury was confused and failed to return a verdict of at least that amount, he would have to declare a mistrial.
Lo and behold, the jury promptly returned a verdict of $0. But inexplicably (perhaps the judge was busy with other matters, and perhaps the silent lawyers were both acting strategically), the judge simply thanked the jurors for their service and ordered the jury "discharged," telling the jurors they were "free to go." The jurors then left the courtroom.
Quickly thereafter, however, the judge realized there had been a mistake, and he ordered the clerk to reassemble the jurors. Noting that he would "hate to throw away the money and time that's been expended in this trial," the judge decided (over Dietz's objection) to re-empanel the jury and allow it to further deliberate with new instructions that would clarify their mission. After the clerk confirmed that no juror (other than one possibly) had left the building in the interim, and the jurors confirmed when questioned as a group that they had not spoken to anyone about the case, the jury was sent back to re-deliberate the next morning. They quickly returned a verdict for Dietz of $15,000. The Ninth Circuit affirmed, and yesterday the Supreme Court affirmed that Ninth Circuit ruling.
A useful discussion of federal judges' "inherent authority"
Yesterday's decision provides a useful discussion of the "inherent authority" of federal judges "to manage their own affairs so as to achieve the orderly and expeditions disposition of cases." Two principles define rough limits. First, any exercise of such authority must be "a reasonable response" to real "problems and needs confronting the court's fair administration of justice." Second, the exercise must not be "contrary to any express grant or limitation" of a federal court's power as found in "rule or statute."
These principles were satisfied here. Recalling a discharged jury is "reasonable" in some circumstances, and can serve the interests of ensuring the efficient use of resources as well as fairness. Federal courts already have express authority under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 51(b)(3) to reinstruct a jury and order it to deliberate further before it is discharged; and precedents endorse courts' inherent authority to rescind and change other orders in "analogous circumstances." Where the alternative is an expensive and time-consuming new trial, recall of an already chosen and instructed, but recently discharged, jury "can save the parties, the court, and society … costly time … and expense." Meanwhile, there is no express statute or rule, or even an "implicit limitation," prohibiting a carefully exercised recall power.
Nevertheless, the Court quickly explained that the inherent power to recall a discharged jury "must be exercised with restraint." Most importantly, "[a]ny suggestion of prejudice … should counsel a court not to exercise its inherent power." "[T]he guarantee of an impartial jury" counsels special care to avoid the "potential for taint" that can arise from "improper extraneous influences." Thus, before recalling a discharged jury, a judge "should, of course, determine whether any juror has been individually tainted." (The Ninth Circuit had suggested that individual voir dire of each juror may be the better course, and while the Court yesterday intimated that it might agree with that suggestion, it "decline[d] to review" the question because Dietz did not object to the group voir dire in this case.)
In addition, the Court offered a further, non-exhaustive list of "additional factors" that judges should consider, "any of which could be dispositive" against recall:
(1) the length of delay: "the longer the jury has been discharged, the greater the likelihood of prejudice";
(2) whether the jurors have spoken to anyone about the case since discharge, even an "innocuous" exchange with a courtroom deputy;
(3) any "reaction" to the verdict that discharged jurors may have witnessed, such as "gasps, crying, cheers, and yelling"; and
(4) to what extent discharged jurors may have "accessed their smartphones or the internet."
(Sidenote: on this last point, Justice Sotomayor noted a "now-ingrained instinct to check our phones whenever possible" and wrote, perhaps not for the ages, that "prejudice can come through a whisper or a byte." Her opinion then references "Google" and "Twitter" rather than more generic descriptors such as "internet search engine" or "rapid social media source." Trademark-protecting lawyers may be a bit chagrined; some may remember that "Ping-Pong" is actually a brand name for table tennis.)
Finally, the majority rejected the call for "a categorical ban on reempaneling a jury after it has been discharged." Even if the common-law rule was clearly against the practice – and the Court cites an 1839 case to suggest that it was not – times and "modern federal trial practice" have changed. Jurors are no longer routinely sequestered for the duration of every trial, and "harmless error" rules have proliferated instead of automatically granting a new trial for any error. Meanwhile, the Court noted that there will be line-drawing problems no matter what rule is adopted, and it listed a number of questions raised by a more categorical still-in-the-courtroom line for permitting recall.
In sum, "[a] discharge order is not a magical invocation," and Justice Sotomayor noted with humility that "all judges make mistakes. (Even us.)." There is "no benefit" to a categorical bar against jury recall when recall can "correct an easily identified and fixable mistake."
Is it "revolting to have no better reason for a rule than that so it was laid down in the time of Henry IV"?
Justice Thomas began his dissent with this 1897 "quip" from Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, but then immediately recalled the thought, saying that "old rules often stand the test of time because wisdom underlies them." A "simple" prophylactic rule to "avoid the possibility of prejudice" is "sensible" and easily administered, Justice Thomas argued. The majority's "multifactor test" will spawn confusion and more litigation. Moreover – and I am grateful to Justice Thomas for making a point I often stress to my students – while a multifactor test "may aid in identifying relevant facts, …like most multifactor tests … it leaves courts adrift once those facts have been identified." That is, once all the factors have been considered, then what?
Justice Thomas is surely right that lower courts applying yesterday's decision are likely to issue seemingly inconsistent rulings regarding the limits of jury-recall powers in fact-specific cases. But – and this is my opinion, not the decision's – this is true of virtually any legal rule or analysis the Supreme Court is capable of adopting. "Facts always outstrip the law" is one of my classroom mantras.
Meanwhile, many believe that Justice Holmes was right: more than common-law history is needed to compel twenty-first century results. Justice Thomas's approach is consistent with his general disposition to favor Framing-era rules. But yesterday's majority chose a cautious, discretionary "inquiry focused on potential prejudice," with modern-day pitfalls firmly in mind, rather than adopt a bright-line prohibition against recalling a discharged jury no matter what the costs involved. A useful sentence or two citing Dietz in federal practices treatises are likely already being written.

What rails should be used to reclaim the North?
SkyWay creators see the future transport networks in the maximum combination of a track structure and communications.
A new round of interest in the development of the Arctic Regions and territories North of Arctic Circle Arctic is no longer something new. Experts discuss what to focus on. Some people criticize presently uneconomic oil exploration. The others say that it will pay back in the future. The third ones speak about the development of the Northern Sea Route. The fourth ones discuss how real farming in the tundra may be. And someone is already conducting experiments in this direction. However, all this is not so important until they solve the old problem - creation of a reliable transportation land communication in the mainland of the Arctic, in the North of Arctic Circle. We talked on this subject with the Head of targeted projects Department at the engineering company SkyWay Technologies Co. Kiryl Badulin.
— How relevant are transport solutions from SkyWay family for the exploration of Northern territories developed by your SkyWay Technologies Co.?
— Our technologies are suitable for such conditions. First, our vehicles are environmentally friendly. Second, this is a high level of safety. The system is less costly than other surface modes of transport by 3-5 times, and compared with other systems in the elevated design - by 15-20 times. If we speak about the distant inaccessible areas, this is a unique solution. It covers not only the problem to deliver people and goods. SkyWay tracks can be combined with communication lines, power transmission lines, etc. We are creating not just a transportation system, but infrastructure in the new logic. Once people used the phone just for calling, and now the smartphone performs the communication function by 5% only. The rest is additional services. We have to think about the future, to think about how we can use transport infrastructure for development projects and territory development.
Samples of SkyWay transport "carriages" at EcoTechnoPark in Minsk region
— Your transport runs above the ground thanks to supports. However, the Arctic Region is a vast territory. You will have to install a lot of supports. Besides, there are places where it is difficult to install them. There are also terrain features that do not allow to do it at all.
— I understand what you're driving at. Well, presently the maximum span length between supports is 3 km. We are working out spans of up to 7 km length. And the maximum height depends on the technical parameters. At EcoTechnoPark in Minsk region, where we demonstrate our solutions, the height is less than it would be in real conditions of operation. This is due to several factors: first, it is a test site and it is necessary to provide ease of access to the track structure for testing engineers, and secondly, we have made the tracks lower so that numerous potential customers who come to us could view them and rolling stock better. In real commercial projects, the height is set with the consideration of the sag on the track structure and the need to keep underbridge clearance.
Another advantage. Our transport can overcome large gradients: the railroad is able to take up only 9% gradient, for our technology it is up to 58%.
— How about icing on the track infrastructure, snow storms? It is quite possible in the Arctic Region.
— Snow piles won't scare us, because it's a type of transport that runs not on the ground, but above the ground. And if we speak about icing, even in the 2000s when the first prototype was created, it was also tested in terms of resistance to icing at the test site in Ozyory in Russia, where a vehicle on the basis of the truck ZIL was used. There was a strong frost, the track was preliminary poured with water. About 5 cm of ice has grown up. They started a simulator of rolling stock on steel wheels - it broke down the ice. Now we have a mode of transport of a different generation, but we also lay up the solutions ensuring the ice does not scatter or interfere with the traffic.
— How suitable is your transport for Northern ports?
— We have special solutions for the ports that, like our transportation system, are less costly and optimal. Thanks to the new principles of logistics, we will increase the rate of loading to vessels, minimize space of warehouses for storage. This can be done in different ways: by means of a conveyor for bulk goods, for example. And the port itself can be outstretched into the sea, without occupying the coastline.
— Won't standard containers fall from your overhead tracks? Perhaps, you will have to design a new standard?
— No. We are designing tracks for the conventional containers now used. No need to invent new ones.
Our carriages for passengers are, of course, not such as on the railways. However, the logistics scheme allows to do everything less costly by 5-7 times compared to conventional trains. For example, "unibus" can accommodate 14 people. This vehicle consumes 2.5 liter of fuel equivalent per 100 km at the speed of 100 km/h. Now a lot more is spent to travel in hard-to-reach areas, and not only.

India Blue beat India Red by an innings and 187 runs on Day 4 to win the Duleep Trophy final.
It took just 65 deliveries for India Blue on Day 4 of their Duleep Trophy final to get rid of remaining five India Red batsmen in Dindigui to register a title clinching innings and 187-run win on Friday. The spin duo of Saurabh Kumar (5/51) and Deepak Hooda (5/56) razed down the defending champions' batting order in 38.5 overs to bowl them out for 172 in second innings.
Resuming on their overnight score of 128/5 at the NPR College Ground, India Red added just six runs to their total before Saurabh had Ishan Kishan hole out to Anmolpreet. Ishan added just five to his total of 25 before walking back.
In the following over, Hooda got rid of the other overnight batsman – Writtick Chatterjee who scored 15 before being caught by Ricky Bhui.
From thereon, it was just a matter of time before as Hooda wiped off the tail. Saurabh added the scalp of Mihir Hirwani to complete his five-wicket haul. Hooda completed a fifer of his own by removing No. 10 Prasidh Krishna on 7 and then Ishan Porel (6).

Small Farms on the Rise in the U.S., But It's Not All Good News
Published: May 3, 2019 by Michael Guta In Economy 2
Every five years the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) carries out a comprehensive census of agriculture across the country. The newly released 2017 census is a mixed bag of good and bad news.
2017 Census of Agriculture
The data reveals small farms are increasing, but there are fewer overall farms and they are earning less. The total amount of land for farms and ranches was also down.
According to the USDA, the census is carried out to collect data with the eventual goal of helping all American farmers. In the press release announcing the census, U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue further explained this desire.
Purdue said everyone can use the data from the census to see the changes taking place in U.S. agriculture. He added, "As a data-driven organization, we are eager to dig in to this wealth of information to advance our goals of supporting farmers and ranchers, facilitating rural prosperity, and strengthening stewardship of private lands efficiently, effectively, and with integrity."
Contradicting Results
The agriculture industry is changing. And this change is being driven by fewer farmers, technology, market prices and other factors.
The 2017 census reveals the impact of these changes on farmers. Overall the number of farms is down by 3.2% from 2012, with a total of 2.04 million farms and ranches. But the average size of the land they work has gone up by 1.6%. It is up to 441 acres on a total of 900 million acres for the country.
In terms of the size disparity, 273,000 of the smallest (1-9 acres) farms make up 0.1 percent of all farmland. But 85,127 of the largest (2,000 or more acres) farms make up 58 percent of farmland. While small and mega-farms are growing, mid-size farms are not doing well.
The data reveals there are fewer farmers, but they are getting bigger. And a smaller number of farmers are controlling the majority of the market. Even though there are more than 2M farmers, 105,453 farms produced 75% of all sales in 2017.
How Much are Farmers Making?
The total value of production by U.S. farmers was $389 billion in 2017.
The average income for American farmers is $43,053, and 43.6% of farms had positive net cash farm income. But only 76,865 of farmers who make $1 million or more represent a little more than 2/3 of the $389B.
The good news is farmers are adapting to address the different needs of consumers as well as the environmental and energy challenges they are facing.
The USDA says the number of organic farms increased from about 14,000 to around 18,000. And for farmers who made the switch, the sales in organic produce has more than doubled.
When it comes to energy, the number of farmers who are using renewable energy also doubled. Farmers are using everything from solar to wind power as well as environmentally friendly fuels such as natural gas.
Who is Farming in America?
The concern in the farming industry is the increasingly older demographic. The average age of the American farmer now stands at 57.5 years, a growth of 1.2 years since 2012.
Young farmers, which the census identifies as those 35 years old or less, account for 321,261 of the producers. And they are on 240,141 farms across the country.
The gender gap in farming has always been big, but there are now more female farmers than ever before. Female farmers account for 36% of the producers and 56% of all farms have at least one decision-maker who is a woman.
The 2017 USDA Census of Agriculture
The USDA census of agriculture is carried out once every five years. The data from the census provides a comprehensive summary of agricultural activity in the U.S. and for each state. This includes the number of farms by size and type, inventory and values for crops and livestock, producer characteristics, and more.
The Census was mailed to more than 3 million known and potential farms and ranches across the U.S. The national response rate for this census was 71.5%, which was down from the 74.5% of 2012.
A total of 6.4 million points of data about America's farms and ranches and those who operate them were collected and analyzed.

The big farms are getting bigger and making even more money. Many small farms are more like hobbies, which is probably why less than half of the farms are cash flow positive. The economics just don't favor small.

Aussie legend glad to feel the heat
Australian rugby legend Matthew Burke touched down at Kingston Park for the third time this week to start his new challenge at Newcastle Falcons and was relieved to find Tyneside was a lot warmer than on his first visit back in 1996.
Then as a young full back with New South Wales Waratahs, he played against the Falcons in the immediate aftermath of Sir John Hall's takeover and recalls the conditions as arctic.
"I remember that game well and it was freezing but although everyone has told me how cold it gets up here, I woke up yesterday and thought I needed to go out and get some sun-screen," says Burke, who arrived in Newcastle with his family on Monday after featuring for Australia in their Tri-Nations decider against South Africa in Durban just over a week ago.
The 31-year-old joins a summer influx at the Falcons which includes a total of 253 international caps - 81 of them being his own, after an 11-year Test career which has seen him rack up an incredible 878 points.
While the Tyne Bridge and the new Gateshead Opera House may have a passing resemblance to Sydney's famous landmarks, Burke's decision to bring wife Kate and daughters Edie (five-and-a-half months) and Harriette (23 months) was thought through with great attention.
Three months ago Burke saw for himself the massive developments at Kingston Park when he came up to the North East for talks with Falcons boss Rob Andrew while he was over here with the Barbarians.
He liked what he saw but instrumental in the move was former Falcons and Wallaby forwards coach Andrew Blades, as Burke revealed: "I asked Bladesy a lot of questions when I was deciding whether to come to Newcastle.
"The fact that our surnames both start with `B' means we seem to sit next to each other a lot on aeroplanes when the Wallabies travel, so I've been bending his ear a lot about the place.
"He was very positive about the club. He said it gets cold, so I'll have to prepare for that, but I'm looking forward to it all."
While he may have already accomplished everything at Test level - the World Cup, Bledisloe Cup and Tri-Nations - Burke insists he is still hungry for more.
"It's very much a new phase in my career," he says.
"It's an exciting prospect coming here, even at this stage in my career. There's a lot of talent here, and I want to be a part of it. The challenge comes more from within. Everyone likes to see results, and the challenge is to keep playing well. Over the years I've vowed to do that, to play at a consistently high level, and now is no different.
"Newcastle are already a quality side, with the Powergen Cup win and everything, but getting the likes of Colin Charvis in will take it up a notch. The club has a number of players here who I've admired for a long while, and that was definitely a factor in coming here."
Given his outstanding form from the bench during the recent Test and Tri-Nations programme for Australia, voices Down Under have been linking Burke with a place in the Wallabies' autumn tour squad, although the man himself is adamant that his illustrious international days are behind him.
"I'm now dead as far as Australian rugby is concerned, and I've severed my ties completely with them.
"I've done a great deal of training this year but I haven't played enough rugby, so I'm really enthusiastic to get out there and play. Against South Africa I got six minutes, and I was joking with the guys that I wanted more game time and they wanted less. It's great to be part of an international team, but game time is what it's all about."
On his decision to leave long-time side the New South Wales Waratahs, he explains: "I always thought I was going to play my seasons out at the Waratahs, but as it turned out they didn't take up an option for next year. I was quite disappointed with that, not because they didn't give me a chance, but probably because of the loyalty factor.
"I thought I was playing good football, and I went on to be part of the Wallaby team, but as soon as I found out about the Waratahs situation I went to my wife Kate and asked her about the chances of the family going overseas. She's excited about the prospect of living in Newcastle, and so am I."
Asked which position he will be playing for a Falcons squad which includes Jonny Wilkinson, Burke joked: "No.10, for sure.
"Seriously, though, outside centre or full back are probably the positions which suit my game best. I made the move to the centres in 2002, and I enjoyed handling the ball more, but I've played a lot of Tests at full back and I enjoy the running and kicking aspects of that, as well as the defence.
"I have no problem in playing either of those positions, and I'm happy to play wherever Rob Andrew tells me he wants me."

First, the animal handler David Gucwa's work in the early 1980s with the elephant Siri shows that the animal was able to graduate from making marks in the dust with a stick held in its trunk to 'drawing', simply by being given a pencil and paper, and by this being incorporated into her daily routine without any additional reward. Gucwa refused to put the elephant's work on the art market, though he did send some of its drawings to a number of artists and critics. Willem de Kooning is said to have commented: 'That's a damn talented elephant.
But these scribblings or erasures can then take on a momentum of their own and turn into a negative compositional factor. In this doodle it is as if, despite the fact that there is no obvious external constraint, the person has gone over and over the same shapes and patterns, to the point where they are barely legible (illus. 23). One could say that doodling plays out a dynamic relation between order and disorder, constraint and freedom, public and private – this being perhaps as much 61 | t h e d o o d l e a n d b e yo n d a reflection of the context in which it is engaged in as of the doodler's individual personality.
It appears as early as Johnson's A Dictionary of the English Language, meaning a trifler or idler, and its etymology was later variously traced to Dutch or German words for 'foolish'. 2 The modern term, with its specific association with absent-minded and marginal drawing, seems to have appeared in the early twentieth century: it figures, for example, as something that people would recognize in the screenplay for Mr Deeds Goes To Town (Robert Riskin, 1936). By the mid-1930s it had become something of a craze, with an expanding interest in the reproduction and interpretation of celebrity doodles.

Q: How to read CGBitmapContextData? (on iPhone) I'm working on obtaining bitmap data like ARGB from an image.
a). I create a bitmapcontext for the image:
context = CGBitmapContextCreate(void * data, size_t width, size_t height, size_t bitsPerComponent, size_t bytesPerRow, CGColorSpaceRef colorspace, CGBitmapInfo bitmapInfo)
b). I draw the image to the context:
CGContextDrawImage(context, rect, imageRef);
c). Then I get data from the bitmapcontext:
void * data = CGBitmapContextGetData(context);
d). void... not readable?
I find that it only returns a void pointer to the image context data which means the data of the context cannot be obtained(writeOnly). Are there any other ways to return the value from the context data?
PS: If I create an unsigned char pointer * data, it will return 240 for RGB and 255 for alpha which are not the correct color components.

A: The pointer can still point to the image data even if its type is void. I posted another related topic at:
How to pull out the ARGB component from BitmapContext on iPhone?
And the problem had already been solved.

What is our purpose? Is there meaning to this life we live? What should be our top priority? These are questions asked often by those outside of the church but should not be questions we ask inside the body of Christ. Why? Simple. We already know our answers but in our cultural context we often forget them. We become side-tracked by the pleasures of this world while forgetting about our responsibility to the building of the kingdom to come. From fantasy football to youth travel sports, dance competitions to scholarship chasing, we'll place our time, talents, and resources squarely in the box of things that are temporal while neglecting things which are eternal. While none of these things may be intrinsically wrong, they place an inappropriate and unnecessary emphasis on living our best life now instead of preparing for the best life God has planned for eternity.
As "Christians" here in America, particularly in financially upper and upper-middle class demographics, we have forgotten the powerful impact of the choices we make. We sit back and wonder why our kids care nothing about Christ and His Word but never manage to make family worship and corporate fellowship a priority. We ask why the church rolls are shrinking and immorality seems to run rampant but we fail to serve the local body and invest Biblically into the next generation. Often times we will find our niche in church and never move past that one area of serving. We'll explain that "we're just too busy" or "I'm past that point in life"; as if God somehow issues passes to the busy and retired. Scripture never indicates that we are to abdicate our roles as members of the body of Christ and yet we do it with flippant ease.
On the opposite side of this coin we often see those in lower financial demographics exercising their responsibility as members of the body of Christ with fervor and love. Perhaps it is because they don't fully know the trappings of this world which accompany financial success or maybe they simply have a better understanding of finding their joy in Christ instead of chasing the world for temporary happiness. Whatever the case may be there is no doubt that they often exhibit more faithful service to the Kingdom of God than others in the body. While it would be easy to simply brush this reality to the side and exclaim all the "good our giving does for the church" it would completely miss the truth of Scripture. God wants us to be wise stewards of the resources He has given us but nowhere in Scripture does He indicate that this should come at the expense of our serving and loving like Christ.
At the wise old age of 32 I know enough to know that I don't know enough, but these things I know. God is not interested nearly as much in my bank account as He is in my heart. God is not nearly as impressed by my giving as He is by me involving my family and myself in the body of Christ and serving His children. God is not nearly as thrilled by my ability to squeeze everything onto the calendar, so my child has the best opportunities in the world, as He is thrilled by me daily leading my family to the throne in worship and adoration of the Most High God. In short, God is not pleased by my succumbing to the trappings of this world. He is pleased when I make Him a priority, when I make His church a priority, and when I follow His command to "Go and make disciples of all nations!" So my encouragement to you is simple: stop wasting your time on things and start spending time with God and His people; it'll change your life!


Coastway is the largest chartered land surveying and geospatial engineering company in Ireland. Headquartered in Naas, Ireland with overseas offices in London and Poland, Coastway specialises in capturing, processing and managing geospatial data.
Terrestrially based technologies make the land surveying of quarries and similar large, external facilities time-intensive. As this time passes there is the risk of the survey becoming inaccurate as the land changes and the quarry alters or further equipment is added.
This necessitates the use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) to enable quicker, more comprehensive topographical surveys. UAVs also enable safer working practices and typically have less impact on the environment.
To ensure an accurate survey, control of the UAV is paramount. A tablet PC is the natural choice. However, using the tablet specified by the UAV manufacturers, Coastway soon hit a series of challenges: a short battery life, lack of ruggedisation, excessive weight and limited functionality interrupted work flow. As a result, Coastway turned to rugged tablet specialist Camtech to specify and implement a better solution.
Darrell Newman, Technical Services Manager, Camtech explains: "The typical work flow for the Coastway team would be to use a tablet in the office to conduct pre-flight checks, then file a flight plan. The device would then need to remain on standby as the team travels to the site, in order to enable any revisions to the scope of the task or the flight plans.
The CL910 enables the team to have a full working day with up to seven hours of battery life. At 1.9kg the CL910 is portable and in the field, the 10.1" screen delivers bright visibility and the ruggedisation of Corning® Gorilla® Glass. The display supports both "Touch" and "Pen" input, enabling fine control of the UAV drone. When the survey is complete, the integrated Wi-Fi enables quick transmission of the data. Specific job data and individual flight footage are kept separate by backing up flight footage to the SD card in the internal bay.
« Creating value through Services: Where to start?


In recognising the challenges of a contemporary world where traditional cultural, social and geographical boundaries are regularly broken down and new ones set up, we have created a conference theme that juxtaposes two apparently opposing ideas – conflict and collaboration – to contemplate the consequences for art and everyday life. In music-related contexts we seek answers to the questions: what is the nature of conflict and its consequences; what is the nature of collaboration and its consequences; what happens when conflict and collaboration intersect?
Emphasising the MSA's remit to encourage and support all disciplinary approaches to music research, we invite papers on any music-related research topic that considers conflict and/or collaboration.
Is functional harmony a metaphor for collaboration?
Ethnological accounts of collaborations or conflicts between e.g. co-creators of musical works, performers and producers, teachers preparing musicians for competitions and so forth.


The film was a turkey at the box office, rescued from disaster by its songs that stormed all the music charts.
Roy had two songs in the annual Top 6, including the no.1 song of the year.
Earlier, it had five songs in the Jan-April list including three in the Top 4; all five songs are in the Top 7 of that quarter.
Ek Paheli Leela has seven songs in the Jan-April list.
Hindi Geet Mala: all credits have been cross-checked with Hindi Geet Mala, an extremely comprehensive, encyclopædic archive of popular Hindi-Urdu music.
i) Except for the Binaca Geet Mala years, all of Indpaedia's annual charts for Hindi-Urdu songs are based on an amalgam of all publicly available charts for that year. This has been done to ensure total objectivity. Typically, we have consulted at least three charts for every recent year.
However, as on 1 May 2015 no other chart was ready for the Jan-April 2015 period.
ii) Bollywood Hungama does not have its own charts. Nor does it award ranks to songs. Indpaedia has calculated the number of 'times played' from the above link, combining the listenership of all versions of each song into one, to arrive at the ranks mentioned under IP. Incidentally, this link will take you to songs that were released between 2012 and April 2015.
We looked at the 240 songs from this period that had been played the most often. Of these 22 were from 2015, including three songs with two versions each and one song that had been listed twice. It was thus that we arrived at the 18 most popular Hindi-Urdu songs of Jan-April 2015.
iii) The combined listenership of all versions of Too hai and Tere bin on Bollywood Hungama has helped them, respectively, pip the two top hits of Jan-April, namely, Sooraj and Chittiyaan.
iv) This list is not likely to be updated till the end of the year.


A HUGE HUGE thank you from my heart to all who came out on Christmas Day to flow with me and help raise awareness and funds for Mind Dorset and support each other.
It was such a special moment in my Yoga teaching life and it was by far the best! A big thank you also to those of you who donated via our just giving page (see below for link-still time to donate) and who donated on the day. Our target was £200 and once all the money from the day has been uploaded I think we will of hit it! woo hoo!

Bird Migration: Toxic Molecule May Help Birds 'See' North And South
Changes in the electromagnetic field, such as those experienced by a bird changing direction in flight, appear to alter a biochemical compass in the eye, allowing the bird to see how its direction corresponds to north or south.
Researchers at the University of Illinois report that a toxic molecule known to damage cells and cause disease may also play a pivotal role in bird migration. The molecule, superoxide, is proposed as a key player in the mysterious process that allows birds to "see" Earth's magnetic field.

Beaked, Bird-like Dinosaur Tells Story Of Finger Evolution
Limusaurus
Scientists have discovered a unique beaked, plant-eating dinosaur in China. The finding, they say, demonstrates that theropod, or bird-footed, dinosaurs were more ecologically diverse in the Jurassic period than previously thought, and offers important evidence about how the three-fingered hand of birds evolved from the hand of dinosaurs.

What Limits The Size Of Birds?
pictured is the Bald Eagle soaring
Why aren't birds larger? Fifteen-kilogram swans hold the current upper size record for flying birds, although the extinct Argentavis of the Miocene Epoch in Argentina is estimated to have weighed 70 kilograms, the size of an average human. In a forthcoming article in PLoS Biology, Sievert Rohwer, and his colleagues at the Burke Museum at the University of Washington, provide evidence that maximum body size in birds is constrained by the amount of time it takes to replace the flight feathers during molt.

Sardine Run – Amazing Underwater Phenomenon
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tl4T26O0eq0[/youtube]
Every year, between the months of May and July, many millions of silvery sardines travel north from the cold southern oceans off South Africa's Cape Point, hugging the shore as they make their way up along the coastlines of the former Transkei (northern Eastern Cape) and KwaZulu-Natal in what is commonly known as the annual Sardine Run.

Smuggler Had 14 Songbirds Strapped To Legs
At least these birds weren't baked in a pie.
A man was charged on Tuesday with smuggling songbirds into the United States by hiding more than a dozen of them in an elaborate, custom-tailored pair of leggings during a flight from Vietnam to Los Angeles.
Sony Dong, 46, was arrested at Los Angeles International Airport in March after an inspector spotted bird feathers and droppings on his socks and tail feathers peeking out from under his pants, prosecutors said.
"He had fashioned these special cloth devices to hold the birds," said U.S. attorney spokesman Thom Mrozek. "They were secured by cloth wrappings and attached to his calves with buttons."

Donut-Shaped Wind Energizer Improves Wind Turbine Efficiency
Better air dynamics
A company called Leviathan Energy has come up with a clever way to improve the efficiency of wind turbines, without making any modifications to the turbines or propellers themselves. Using aerodynamic modeling, Leviathan designed a special plastic and metal skirt structure that wraps around the base of the wind turbine and directs the flow of the air to the critical areas of the blades. The system is guaranteed to increase the power output of a wind turbine by at least 15-30%, and at lower wind speeds (0-6 meters per second) the gains can be as high as 150%.
