Consumption was at its highest level amongst young adults aged 18 to 25 with 500 milliliters of milk per person. However, the sharpest decline was also recorded amongst this group which continued into adulthood and middle years, from an average intake of 510 milliliters per person, to a more than half of that figure at around 200 milliliters between 36 and 59 years old. The rate of decline appears to gather pace with less milk consumption by people aged 60 and over, dipping to180 milliliters per person.

Lets interpret our data!

The trend suggests that milk consumption is negatively correlated to aging possibly because young people start to enjoy other beverages and show less tolerance to milk as they age.

Overall, a steep downward trend in consumption is followed by a gradual decline indicating that less milk products were used as people aged.

However, the sharpest decline was also recorded amongst this group which continued into adulthood and middle years, from an average intake of 510 milliliters per person, to a more than half of that figure at around 200 milliliters between 36 and 59 years old.

British cuisine composition (as % of entire caloric intake)

The table shows the dietary preferences of the British people as percentages of their total calorie intake. Overall, they preferred plant rather than animal derived products and various food sources provided their need for starch, fiber, proteins, fats and sugars. Grains including all wheat products took the lion share of their dietary preferences with 42%, over three times as much of any other food source, where livestock products including meat trailed behind with 12% and heavily processed plant produce including sugars followed with 10%. Its worth noting that tuber, fungi and oily and above ground vegetables were also enjoyed at 7%, 6% and 5% respectively. Although the British diet overwhelmingly relied on plant derived products with 73.5%, the percentages point to unhealthy over-reliance on starch, fats and sugars which usually might lead to obesity and could be balanced by consuming more fruits, fish and milk and less starch, fats and sugars.

Smoking Demographics Among Australian Youth (12-19)

The pie-chart outlines the characteristics of Australian smoking youth populations indicating that smoking is positively correlated to whether or not the people around them also smoke. Overall, children living with non-smoking parents or guardians were less likely start smoking than those living with smoking parents, guardians and others in alternative circumstances. Children living with non-smoking biological parents smoked the least with 3% yet were more at risk if their parents smoked, with 9%. In addition, single parent homes, regardless of the nature of parenthood, helped reduce the addiction levels down to 5% while the reverse was true for children living with non-smoking single or couple guardians with 14% and 16%. Alarmingly, rates jump up to 19% and 22% if children end up in correctional institutions or with smoking guardians suggesting that negative factors in the environment are responsible and smoke free family environments could help reduce addiction rates amongst Australian children and youth.

This diagram outlines the physical layout of the tallest building in the world, El Burj in Dubai. Broadly speaking, the Burj Dubai is partitioned into 9 different sections with over 160 floors with private hotel and residential apartment zones, tourist attractions, communications and broadcasting tower and parking and mechanical utility zones. To begin with, it can be seen that the zone from the ground to the 37th floor is operating as a private hotel with private hotel suites on two floors, reserved special guests. Standard and premium apartments occupy the next 80 floors from the 40th floor to the 121st of which majority are premium, with 44 floors. Visitors explore space in the observatory and enjoy dining with spectacular views of the city from the restaurant. Finally, the next 25 floors above are utilised as corporate business suites with communications and broadcasting occupying a high point for ease of transmission.

The line graph illustrates changes in notebook computer ownership across ten European countries between 1995 and 2000 as percentage of each countrys total population. Overall, increases were recorded for all countries but the earlier trend indicating higher ownership rates for the largest economies in 1995 reversed showing them trailing behind Scandinavian countries, by 2000. The UK recorded the highest notebook sales with 4% in 1995 but experienced the least growth in 2000 growing by 8% to peak at 12% while Germany topped group with 14% and Italy and France following behind with 11% and 9% respectively. In contrast, all Scandinavian countries experienced exponential growth by 2000 which began at 1% for Denmark and ballooned to 17%. Sales in Sweden, Finland and Norway followed strongly with 15%, 14% and 12% respectively representing a 12% increase compared with 10% in sales for the largest economies, suggesting changing affluence levels in favour of Scandinavians.

The table illustrates a weekly bus timetable for a bus route in Vancouver. It can be seen that frequency of bus trips is heavier during the week than on weekends. Service is the most frequent during weekday mornings and evenings. Buses start their daily schedules at 8 a.m. and run until 11 a.m. with 30 minute intervals and resume service at 4.30 a.m. until 7.30 p.m. with a long break between the two periods. On Saturdays there are reduced services with hourly intervals where buses start running and finishing at the same times as in weekdays in the mornings and afternoons. Surprisingly, no bus services are offered on Sundays. This timetable is suggesting that commuters might be living in a quiet neighbourhood and are using the scheduled bus services to travel from home to work or school and back and might prefer using private transport or staying at home at weekends.

The population of Canadas 5 largest cities as a % of total population

Lets write it!

The pie-chart depicts the population breakdown of the 5 most populous cities in Canada as percentage of its total population. It can be clearly seen that although a large number of Canadians live in Canadas 5 largest cities, nevertheless the vast majority of Canadians live elsewhere. Around two thirds of Canadians live in cities, towns or villages smaller than Ottawa. A significant proportion of Canadians live in Canadas 5 largest cities. The breakdown of the population statistics reveal that most of the 25% of Canadians live in Toronto, Montreal or Vancouver with 10% based in Toronto, another 8% in Montreal and 7% in Vancouver. Calgary trails the population statistics with 3% whereas the countrys capital, Ottawa, makes up only 2% of Canadas overall population and is the smallest of the 5 cities presented here. 70% of Canadians live outside Canadas largest cities indicating that Canada has a sparse density of population.

Time Sensitive Spatial Images with phases for outlining

Lets write it!

The diagram shows the lunar phases created by relative positions of the earth, the moon and the sun, as the moon orbits the earth. Sunlight is shown coming in from the right with the earth at the center. The moon is shown at 8 key stages during its revolution around the earth with names for each phase shown as the revolution occurs. The larger moon images help us visualize how the moon would appear at any point in time in the cycle by one turning oneself upside down to experience the waning gibbous, third quarter, and waning crescent phases. When this is done, it becomes noticeable that the illuminated portion could be seen on the left. Exactly one half of the moon is always illuminated by the sun and at certain times both the sunlit portion and the shadowed portions can be seen whereas at other times the shadowed part remains invisible to the naked eye.
