Long-Distance Ride-Sharing Market
Delivered March 23rd, 2022. Contributors: Michelle A.
It is estimated that the total available market (TAM) size for long distance transportation in the US is $453.32 billion, based on a combination of 2017 and 2019 data.
It is estimated that the total annual gas cost for long distance travel by personal vehicle in the US is between $68.547 billion and $107.135 billion. These estimates were based on data from 2017, 2019, 2021, and 2022 gas prices.
It is estimated that the total annual spending on train fares for long distance travel in the US is $195.7 million. This is based on data from 2017.
It is estimated that the total cost for bus fares for long distance travel in the US is between $2.925 billion and $5.850 billion.
Provided below are triangulations for the total addressable market (TAM) size of long distance trips in the US, the total cost of gas per year for long distance trips, the total annual cost of train fares for long distance trips, and some helpful findings on long distance trips by bus and ride sharing. As there were few details in the request that indicated exactly what should be included in the TAM calculation (for example, should food and lodging costs be included in the cost), the data provided was led by the research, and all assumptions have been fully explained.
While it was not possible to provide a breakdown of the TAM based on different modes of transportation, publicly available data did allow for triangulations of helpful findings related to personal vehicle and train travel. Due to a lack of data on long distance travel by bus and through ride sharing, some helpful findings have been provided in each of those sections, rather than an estimated TAM.
All calculations used in the triangulations, as well as any assumptions made, are shown in the relevant sections. A full description of the logic used can be found in the Research Strategy at the end of the report.
TAM Size Long Distance Trips
It is estimated that the TAM size for long distance transportation in the US is $453.32 billion, based on a combination of 2017 and 2019 data.
Following is the data, assumptions, and calculations used to triangulate the above total addressable market (TAM) size of the long distance trip segment of the personal transportation industry in the US.
In 2020, Americans spent $1.2 trillion on transportation expenses. However, this was a decrease of 13.7% from 2019, which had total spending on transportation of $1.4 trillion. Since 2019 was the last year with data not impacted by the pandemic, that number is used in the calculations that follow.
As defined by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, transportation expenditures include "spending on durable goods, such as vehicles; nondurable goods, such as fuel; and services, such as for-hire transportation. It includes spending by governments, employers, and other organizations on behalf of households—for example, employee transit subsidies."
According to data published in 2017, which was based on a national survey, Americans travel 11 billion miles per day, so the total miles per year are 4.015 trillion [11 billion (miles per day) * 365 (days per year)].
Based on the same survey, Americans reported traveling 1.3 trillion miles for long distance travel (defined as travel over 50 miles).
Using the previous two data points it is estimated that 32.38% [1.3 trillion (total long distance miles)/4.015 trillion (total miles)*100] of miles can be attributed to long distance travel.
By assuming that the amount spent on long distance travel is in proportion to the miles traveled for long distance, it can be estimated that the total spending on long distance transportation is $453.32 billion [$1.4 trillion (total household spending on transportation in 2020) * 32.38% (percent of total miles attributed to long distance)].
Limitations on the above estimate
There are many costs associated with long distance trips such as transportation expenses, food, lodging, and entertainment. The above estimate only accounts for transportation expenses.
Based on data availability it was assumed that the amount spent on long distance travel was in proportion to the percentage of long distance miles compared to total miles. In reality, there was no data found publicly available that indicated whether long distance travel was more expensive, less expensive, or the same as shorter travels. Therefore, that is not a data-backed assumption, and was made as a logical assumption to allow the research to move forward.
While the data on miles traveled was based on information published in 2017, the total transportation expenditure was based on 2019 data. There was no information found that would allow for an estimate of 2019 travel miles.
As with the TAM size for long distance travel in the US, the breakdown of the market size by various modes of transportation was not found in the public domain. However, some estimates were made based on data that was available.
Total Cost of Gas for Long Distance Personal Vehicle Trips in the US
It is estimated that the total annual gas cost for long distance travel by personal vehicle in the US is between $68.547 billion and $107.135 billion. These estimates were based on data from 2017, 2019, 2021, and 2022.
Following is the data, assumptions, and calculations used to triangulate the above estimates for the total gas cost for long distance travel by personal vehicle in the US.
Based on current data from AAA, the average cost of gas in the US ranges from $3.77 to $5.88 per gallon.
The EPA reported that for 2019, the average miles per gallon for US vehicles was 24.9 mpg.
In 2021, it was reported that the typical fuel tank size is 15 gallons.
A fill up costs between $56.55 ($3.77*15) and $88.20 ($5.88*15).
The gas cost per mile driven can be estimated to be between $0.151 [$56.55 (cost for low end fill up)/24.9 (average mpg)*15 (typical fuel tank size)] and $0.236 [$88.20 (cost for high end fill up)/24.9 (average mpg)*15 (typical fuel tank size)].
There are 2.6 billion long distance trips in the US each year, and 90% of those happen in a personal vehicle. Therefore, it is estimated that there are 2.34 billion trips by personal vehicle [2.6 billion (total long distance trips) * 90% (trips by car)].
The average length of a long distance trip in a personal vehicle is 194 miles. So the total long distance miles traveled by personal vehicle is 453.96 billion miles [2.34 billion (trips by personal vehicle) * 194 (average length of long distance trip in a personal vehicle)].
Finally, the total gas cost for long distance travel by personal vehicle in the US is between $68.547 billion [453.96 billion (total miles) * 0.151 (low cost per mile)] and $107.135 billion [453.96 billion (total miles) * 0.236 (high cost per mile)].
Total Cost for Train Fares for Long Distance Travel in the US
Following is the data, assumptions, and calculations used to triangulate the above estimate for total spending on train fares for long distance travel in the US.
There are a total of 2.6 billion long distance trips in the US each year, and 1% of those are by train. Therefore, it is estimated that 26 million [2.6 billion (total long distance trips) * 1% (trips by train)] long distance trips occur by train.
The average length of a long distance trip by train is 192 miles. So the total long distance miles traveled by train is 4.992 billion miles [26 million (trips by train) * 192 (average length of long distance trip by train)].
The average fare per mile on Amtrak in 2017 was $0.392. This includes passenger payments and government subsidies. This fare is being used as a proxy for the overall average train fare per mile.
The total spent for long distance train travel in the US can be estimated as $195.7 million [4.992 billion (total long distance miles traveled by train) * $0.392 (average fare per mile proxy)].
Total Cost for Bus Fares for Long Distance Travel in the US
Approximately 2% of long distance trips in the US happen by bus. This would be a total of about 52 million trips [2.6 billion (total long distance trips) * 2% (trips by bus)].
With the average long distance bus trip being 287 miles, it is estimated that the total long distance miles traveled by bus is 14.924 billion miles [52 million (trips by train) * 287 (average length of long distance trip by bus)].
There was no publicly available data on the fare per mile for bus travel. One source reported that "train tickets are usually significantly more expensive than bus tickets. Sometimes up to twice the price." However, we couldn't find any data to support this claim.
If it is assumed that bus fares per mile are equal to train fares, the total cost could be estimated as $5.850 billion [14.924 billion (total long distance miles traveled by bus) * $0.392 (average fare per mile proxy)].
If it is assumed that bus fares per mile are half as much as the train fares, the total cost could be estimated as $2.925 billion [14.924 billion (total long distance miles traveled by bus) * $0.392/2 (average fare per mile proxy)].
Under those broad assumptions, it is estimated that the total cost for bus fares for long distance travel in the US is between $2.925 billion and $5.850 billion.
McKinsey reported in 2017 that ridesharing accounted for 1% of the total vehicle miles traveled in the US. While more recent data on specific urban areas was found, there was no way to use those numbers to provide a country-wide estimate.
Ridester estimates the average cost per mile for Uber is $1-$2.
Uber and Lyft account for almost 100% of the US rideshare market. Their sales by year can be seen in the chart below.
One traveler used Uber to travel from North Carolina to California, a total of 2,256 miles. The cost of the trip was $5,500. If this is an indication of typical costs, it seems unlikely this would be a popular choice!
For this research on TAM size for long distance trips in the US, we leveraged the most reputable sources of information that were available in the public domain, including the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, AAA, and the Urban Reform Institute. Ultimately, the TAM needed to be estimated as it was not available in the public domain.
There was no data found in the public domain that would allow for an estimate of the money spent on long distance travel by ridesharing in the US. After finding data that gave a range of the cost per mile for Uber, which could be used as a proxy for the industry overall, we attempted to find data on the total miles traveled by ridesharing vehicles. With this data and data on the percentage of miles that were attributed to trips of 50 miles or more, we could provide an estimate of the total cost of fares for long distance ridesharing in the US. Unfortunately, while we did find information on the total vehicle miles traveled by ridesharing vehicles, data on the percentage of miles attributable to long distance trips was not available in the public domain. Several reputable sources were utilized to locate the needed data, including the Transport Policy journal, Mordor Intelligence, and Fortune Business Insights.
A major assumption that was made for this research was that the TAM size for long distance travel should only include amounts directly related to travel. This assumption was made because the data that was found allowed for estimates to be made based on travel costs only. There are typically other costs associated with long term travel, such as food and lodging, that were not included or considered.
Another assumption that was used, and was determined by the data available, was that long distance travel should be defined as travel of 50 miles or more.

#1 – Make sleep a family priority.
Set a good example by not only making sure your child gets to bed at the right time but also ensuring that you put yourself to bed at a decent hour.
Maintain a healthy routine, including waking time, meal times, nap times, play times, homework time, etc. Have a nighttime routine that involves changing for bed, brushing teeth and maybe some light reading/a story before turning the lights out.
Having a routine schedule adds consistency and helps your child feel more secure and comfortable and will help ease them into a smooth bedtime routine as well.
#3 – Monitor screen time.
The AAP recommends keeping all screens – TVs, laptops, tablets, cell phones – out of children's bedrooms, especially at night. Prevent issues with sleep by shutting off all electronic devices at least one hour before bedtime. It may help to create a family media use plan to help you and your children set healthy boundaries about screen time before bed. This includes you too, parents!
Depending on the age of your child, he/she may have homework in addition to other after school activities (ex: sports, music lessons, appointments, etc.). All of these may create challenges when it comes to winding down at night to go to bed. Remember that kids need extra downtime in order to relax and prepare for bed. Scale back on certain activities and be mindful of how busy your child's day is. Always make the time to have some downtime before bed to ensure that your child gets the rest that he/she needs.
#5 – Pay attention to your child's behavior.
If you notice that your child's grades have dropped, they are getting into trouble at school, falling asleep while at school, or are acting out in other ways – it may be due to a lack of sleep or poor quality of sleep.
Speak to your child's teacher to address any issues that may be going on at school. You may also want to discuss your child's sleep habits with your pediatrician as most sleep issues are easily treated. Your doctor may be able to offer additional suggestions to help improve your child's sleeping habits.
WakeMed Physician Practices – Pediatrics provides primary medical care to children ages newborn to 18 years, treating a variety of services and diagnoses. Call us today to schedule an appointment: 919-350-7846.

I Came, I saw.. I Macaron-ed.
It was so dainty. So cute. But it was so bloody technical and taxing on my chubby fingers that I will probably never make another Macaron again. The only reason I was there, at The Cooking House, was because of the free voucher I got from the My Nourishment Magazine launch a couple of months back. So what makes the Macaron so darn special? Like the cupcake before it, the Macaron, a French confection that resembles a pastel-colored sandwich cookie use to be so "indie" but is now entering the mainstream. If there was ever a Macaron craze, it is here and we are in the thick of it.
So here I am, at the Cooking House. If not for the cajoling and encouragement from my good friend Fatboybakes (baker extraordinaire) and Chef Ryan K. (25 year old chef extraordinaire), I would never have gone for the class in the first place. So enjoy the "slaving over tiny french pastry dessert" photos, as this, is my labour of love!
Believe it or not, the teacher said I had a pretty OK technique.
Not bad huh? Well, did I enjoy my first class? Of course! Tremendously actually, because of the great company, the excellent teacher and my new found friends.
Photos courtesy of my gorgeous and talented Japanese friend, Yasuyo, on my left(who incidentally has an excellent food blog called "Que sera sera Deco's Diary") and the handsome dude on my right is an energetic, talented guy, studying to be a Chef.
HAHAHA, what a lurverly post. i previously wasnt a macaron fan, but natalie's macarons were really top notch. actually, my memory must be failing me, i was looking thru my notes from the baking workshop at HTC, under Jean Francois, and he did teach us how to make lemon macarons. same method.
i love macarons… but maybe not enough to attempt to make them myself. lol. great job!
I am sure you can think of one you love so much!!
You love me, dontcha? DONTCHA???
TQ! ya la.. my only claim to baking fame.. but don't ask me to reproduce.. sure LEMAS one..
yasuyo is japanese la.. so her blog should be in characters la.. joker.. that's why u cant read it! but don't you think her photos are amazing?!
hahaha.. plonk.. my EXACT SENTIMENTS!
chubby fingers? oh dear god, i dunno how you want to describe mine..
macarons are so labor-intensive, but seriously I think the results are WORTH it. there was a macaron-craze in the US for awhile, where they came up with all these funky flavors from white truffles to hibiscus. I've always wanted to try the green tea one.
that teacher of yours sounds so enthusiastic and passionate! I would love to have that kind of cooking teacher.
btw, your macarons look perfect to me 🙂 would you ever make them again at home?
You look as French as your teacher ! It's a dream to do baking but not my forte.
haha.. yes! all the time rite?!
really? me french? wa… haha.. so dark. .summore slitty eyes, how to be french ..?!
so i guess it is not worth the effort after all ? >.<"

At some point I want to use all this knowledge to update this site as it's looking dated (again). It's hard to keep a blog looking fresh when it's been online since 2002 - I think this is the third major theme (moving from HTML 4.01 Transitional to XHTML 1.0 to HTML5 along the way). I've usually kept the design simple to work on all browsers, but most browsers follow the standards really well (and mobile phones use the same engines, which is a million miles away from using my old Sony Ericsson K750i, even with Opera Mini). Don't expect to see this site plastered with audio and video, but I might make more of an effort to integrate my Twitter feed (which would help avoid some of the blank months in my blog).
Router is dead, long live the old router (and the second router on the second line, plus mobile with tethering and unlimited bandwidth).

There are lots of ways of making contacts on Amateur Radio.
You can also use digital modes. These convert your typed message into audio, which is then sent out over the air. The other end detects the audio, and converts it back into text, in much the same way that modems do.
However, the difference between modems using phone lines, and digimodes using HF is that HF is much less reliable.
This means that a good digimode has to have error correction in it, which usually takes the form of Forward Error Correction. This is where extra data is sent, to allow the receiving end to reconstitute parts of the message stream that were lost. Forward Error Correction avoids the need for requests for expensive and time consuming resending of parts or all of the message. The point of amateur radio is to make contacts. A contact isn't always a 15 minute natter. It's exchanging information correctly and without errors.
So a good digimode in my mind has to have robust error correction.
Obviously, the more Forward Error Correction applied, the larger the message sent, and the longer it will take. However, I prefer a mode that sends slowly, but is correct over one that is fast, but has lots of uncorrected errors. Olivia is one of these modes.
One of my favourite modes is Olivia. It is a multi frequency-shift keying mode.
It has various versions of the mode, which use differing number of tones, and differing bandwidth. These variations give a wide range of speeds and signal sensitivity.
I have compiled the following table which details the length of time in seconds to send a specific piece of text, and is ordered by the fastest Olivia mode first.
Olivia 32/1000 32 1000 ?
I can't quite see what the relationship between the tones, bandwidth and speed is, which is why I thought I'd publish this.
If anyone knows what the formula is for calculating the rest, get in touch.
Because Olivia can be successfully decoded down to the level where the signal is hard to hear with the ear or see on a waterfall, the usual method of scanning around the frequencies searching for signals doesn't work as well.
For this reason, standard frequencies for Olivia have been adopted. Here is a table of the frequencies I am aware of.
Please note - these are centre frequencies. The centre frequency is your dial frequency, plus your audio offset. I don't understand why people give the frequency as dial frequency + audio offset.
Even if you can't hear anything on the calling frequencies, leave your radio decooding on them. There might be a signal there that you can't hear.

You can snag one for $38.
If you've wondered what an Ikea shopping tote would look like as an item of clothing, you're in luck: There's now an Ikea-inspired bag hat.
LA brands Pleasures and Chinatown Market have collaborated to take the famous blue FRAKTA bag to new heights with the FRAKA hat ― which is presumably misspelled because Ikea wasn't involved in this venture.
According to HighSnobiety, the tote-hat will cost $38 ― though the original Ikea tote only costs 99 cents ― because ... that's the price of fashion?
The hats roll out this spring/summer and will be available at Pleasures and Chinatown Market's online stores in the coming weeks.

In the interim, if you need chic Ikea vibes in your life, you can check out Balenciaga's own take on the 99-cent tote.
Balenciaga's Arena Extra-Large Shopper Tote Bag, $2,145.
It's $2,145 and made of glazed leather.
We're not going to say it's not worth the money, but you should know that it's not filled with a lifetime supply of Ikea's Swedish meatballs. That would truly be the dream.

A change in the PFD formula? Some lawmakers think it could happen this session
PFD issue front and center of new legislative session
by Peter Segall
Friday, January 17, 2020 6:26pm
When Gov. Mike Dunleavy released his proposed budget in December, he said he intended to allocate a Permanent Fund Dividend of $3,170.
"We're going to honor the law," Dunleavy said at the press conference announcing his budget. "The (PFD) still has its calculation in statute."
But, as the legislative session gears up to start Tuesday, that could change.
"We are focused on solving that formula," Senate President Cathy Giessel, R-Anchorage, told the crowd at the Resource Development Council on Jan. 9, "amending that 40-year-old law that has been driving our budget."
Giessel said her goal was to grow the Permanent Fund to $100 billion. As of Nov. 30, the fund is worth $65.7 billion, according to the Alaska Permanent Fund Corporation website.
"That would mean we would not have to depend on the price of a barrel of oil, or even have to talk about an income tax," she said. "We would be able to fund government off the earnings of that account."
Giessel said the current PFD formula, in place since 1986, was not sustainable and was damaging to the state's future revenue. Spending money out of the Permanent Fund to pay large dividends was preventing the fund from growing to a level where state services could be paid for on interest alone, Giessel argued.
The current formula "is based on the number of eligible Alaskan applicants in a dividend year and half of the statutory net income averaged over the five most recent fiscal years," according to the PFD Division.
Some legislators think reducing the amount allocated by the formula can be done relatively soon after the session starts. What they might change it to is an open question.
"We might make a change to the PFD formula. I can see the leadership in both the House and Senate agreeing to that," said House Minority Leader Lance Pruitt, R-Anchorage. "That might make it so there's not as much pressure on the budget."
Amending the formula would allow the Legislature to move past the debate over how much to allocate for the PFD. During last year's budget debate and special session, the Legislature was gridlocked over the PFD issue which stymied legislation on other issues.
The 2019 dividends were $1,606 after a contentious legislative session, which ended in a final state budget of $650 million. When Dunleavy signed the 2020 budget, he accused legislators of not following the law.
"Too many in the Legislature now treat the PFD as a political football, arbitrarily setting its amount rather than following the statutory formula Alaskans know and trust," Dunleavy said in August.
Pruitt said constituents across the political spectrum in his district say they want to see a formula change for the PFD. But with that change, Pruitt said, his constituents also want reassurance the Legislature wasn't going to increase government spending.
Pruitt said many of his constituents expressed the opinion that "the dividend is less of a sign of, 'Do I get this money,' than 'I don't trust you to spend it.'"
In 2016, former Gov. Bill Walker was the first governor to tap into the dividend amount to pay for state services after oil prices fell in 2015. Walker used his veto power to reduce the amount paid in the dividend, an action that was ultimately upheld in court.
In his campaign and as governor, Dunleavy has promised to pay full dividends and supplemental payments for the amount taken out of PFDs in past years.
Dunleavy said in an email last week that any change to the formula should be put before voters in the form of a constitutional amendment.
'A responsible dividend'
Lawmakers who spoke to the Empire were cautiously optimistic this year's session would be a much more productive one. Last year, lawmakers had difficulty forming a majority and electing a House speaker, delaying the start of session.
But the coalition formed last year has held strong, according to Rep. Chuck Kopp, an Anchorage Republican.
"The House should be very stable like it was last year," Kopp said, echoing his colleagues who've said resolving the PFD issue was front and center of the new session.
"The No. 1 thing we have to address is a responsible dividend that's sustainable over the years," Kopp said. "I think we're making real progress over last year to get the dividend question answered."
Any change to the formula has to get past not just the Legislature, but the governor's potential veto as well. Tim Bradner is a former lobbyist and writer covering Alaska politics. In an interview, he told the Empire there's been discussion of changing the formula before.
"Two or three years ago, the last time there was a lot of teeth gnashing at this, they got hung up with trying to rewrite the formula," Bradner said. "That kept them in session. We've seen this before, and who knows if it's going to go anywhere."
Alaska's Legislature needs 45 votes to override a governor's veto, something which the Legislature failed to achieve during the summer's special session. Bradner isn't sure enough lawmakers can be convinced to make a change.
"You have to look at the Mat-Su delegation," Bradner said. "Mat-Su constituents are very hot to have the PFD formula (remain). The delegation have been very firm in their support of the existing statute."

Proliferating cell nuclear antigen eller PCNA är ett protein som medverkar i replikationen, processen då DNA-kedjan kopieras vid celldelningen i eukaryota celler. PCNA hjälper till att öka antalet DNA-baser som DNA-polymerasen DNA-polymeras δ och DNA-polymeras ε klarar att kopiera från dess de har bundit till DNA-strängen till dess att de släpper. Detta benämns som att PCNA är en processivitetsfaktor åt dessa polymeras. PCNA är ett exempel på en DNA clamp, ett protein som i DNA-replikationen agerar processivitetsfaktor.

Frank Joseph Patrick Bullock (* 25. Juni 1885 in Melbourne; † 26. August 1946) war ein australischer Jockey im Galoppsport.

Jockey
Als Jockey ritt er sowohl in Europa, als auch in Australien erfolgreich. 1903 startete er seine Karriere in England und gewann 1905 den Stewards Cup auf Goodwood Racecourse. Im selben Jahr kehrte er nach Australien zurück und gewann auf Blue Spec den Perth Cup und den Melbourne Cup. Er blieb bis 1908 in Australien und kehrte dann nach Europa zurück, wo er sowohl in England Rennen gewann als auch in Deutschland, wo er von 1908 bis 1912 fünf Mal das Deutsche Jockey-Championat gewann. In diese Zeit fielen auch seine beiden Siege im Deutschen Derby 1910 mit Orient und 1912 mit Gulliver II. Nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg gewann er in England die Eclipse Stakes, 1000 Guineas, den Ascot Gold Cup und den Cesarwitch. 1920 gewann der den ersten Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe und wiederholte den Erfolg zwei Jahre später.

For the past three decades, Creamsilk has been at the forefront of helping Filipino women everywhere look their best and feel their best.
world-class Filipinas with a grand tribute held recently at The Theatre Solaire Resort and Casino.
The black-and-white red carpet affair officially launched a new Creamsilk campaign that encourages Filipina women to be the best they can be believing that, "There is no dream too big for the Filipina because she is world-class." And Creamsilk could not have picked a better icon to personify the new campaign than celebrated actress Lea Salonga, whose long list of achievements in the global stage in theatre and acting truly make her a world class Filipina.
One of the highlights of the evening was the premiere of a short film titled, Cream Silk Portraits: A Celebration Of The World Class Filipina, featuring Lea and fellow Creamsilk ambassadors Anne Curtis, Heart Evangelista, and Toni Gonzaga.
My favorite part of the evening though was when Lea gave a mini concert with heartfelt renditions of On My Own from Les Miserables (for which she has played the roles of Eponine and Fantine on Broadway) and For Good and Defying Gravity from Wicked.
Thank you Creamsilk for an inspiring, magical night!
Gorgeous love the dress awesome opportunity.


Cannes started out as a small Mediterranean village of fishermen and monks but grew into an internationally recognized city and resort in the French Riviera due to the Cannes International Film Festival which takes place annually in May. With the demand from the festival plus Cannes excellent Riviera beaches, Cannes has become a hot spot for vacation rental apartments.
Cannes is well known for its shopping, which includes high-end retailers, top notch restaurants and of course its beaches and the Cannes Film Festival.
Off of the coast of Cannes are the Lerins Islands which are a nearly unspoiled part of nature just off of the French coast. L'ile Sainte Marguerite, will surprise you with its scents of pine and eucalyptus, its botanic trail, its translucent waters and numerous migratory birds. L'ile Saint Honorat, hosts a 5th century monastery.
Other major sites around Cannes include: the Museum of Castre, the Rothschild Villa and its park, La Malmaison art center, the Notre Dame des Pins church, and the Villa Domergue including its gardens.
Cannes has plenty to offer to the tourist crowd and from the Cannes Film Festival in May through the summer, the city is brimming with people. During the busy season accommodations can be difficult to come by, but there are plenty of vacation rental apartment within the city of Cannes to choose from.

Business news and advice that go beyond our galaxy.
First company to recognize Wet as Fuck February. A letter from their CEO.
For days, the Intergalactic Business Report has been trying to get businesses and communities to recognize Wet as Fuck February as a valid month of celebration to make up for the horrors of Dry January. Finally, a company CEO has offered all his employees the entire month of February to spend misusing company time and drinking themselves into a bottle of shame distilled into pure joy.
While he has requested we redact his name and company from this reprint, he has allowed us to share his open memo to employees.
FROM: CORNELIUS----- CEO, ---- INCORPORATED.
TO: ALL EMPLOYEES
SUBJECT: WET AS FUCK FEBRUARY
Dear members of the ---- team:
What started out as a simple request from a drunk employee has turned into a company-wide initiative, effective immediately. A couple moments ago, a man named Jarred approached me in the parking lot and demanded I recognize the month of February as something called "Wet as Fuck February." He was clearly inebriated and agitated, and for a few moments, I feared for my safety. But then I started listening. And what he said made sense.
He explained that "Dry January" had ended and during that month the government of the United States declared a mini prohibition in which violators of strict no alcohol rules would be put to death by hit squads who took pleasure in enforcing murderous teetotaling rules and restrictions.
I told him I had never heard of this and that I was sure he was misinformed. He then exposed himself to me and security arrived to beat him down and remove him from the premises. Turns out, he didn't even work for us. But that's when it hit me that Jarred was right. I should allow everyone to simply fuck around for a month and take shits on the floor. I don't care. I checked my bank account and I am so fucking wealthy you could all stop working and I'd still be rich.
This is why I am going ahead with Wet as Fuck February and I hope you enjoy it because the company will probably be completely ruined by March. On a national scale, I encourage other companies to follow my lead and go ahead with Wet as Fuck February and maybe even Wetter than Fuck March. I may even entertain the idea of Wettest Fuck April, if there is anything left of my business. So, starting now, all employees are welcome to begin drinking. It's on me! (In the sense that you get a paycheck from me and now you will use that paycheck to pay for alcohol.)
Party on,
Cornelius ----, CEO, ---- Incorporated.
Buy our stuff
The only business news in the universe that matters.

Abigail O'Brien
It was a cliché of the twentieth century that the Irish artist must go abroad in order to establish recognition for themselves. But thankfully in the past three decades this manoeuvre has been undermined by a fecundity of arts activity and opportunity. Abigail O'Brien harks back to that earlier age, though resident in Dublin, her ambitious projects have received more recognition in continental Europe than they have had in Ireland.
The Seven Sacraments charts O'Brien's exploration of three major themes; the meaning of ritual in domestic life, the changing iconography of religion and the female figure in contemporary art. O'Brien uses the sacraments as an armature to delve into the pivotal points of human existence from birth through to death. She reworks the iconography attached to each sacrament into a contemporary domestic setting rendering it free of the pomp and regalia of some historical treatments. And she firmly places the female sensibility center stage of the narrative and drama associated with each sacrament.
We are delighted to join with out colleagues in Haus der Kunst, München and in Kunstverein, Lingen in realizing this exhibition of her Seven Sarcaments.
This exhibition also marks an important innovation for the Academy as it seeks more European partners to create exhibitions. Later in 2005, the Academy will work with SMAK, Ghent and Parasol Unit on an exhibition of the paintings of Michael Borremans.

Rich Homie Quan "Hurt" By Young Thug's "Bitch Homie Quan" Comment
Rich Homie Quan shares his feelings about Young Thug's insult earlier this year.
Rich Homie Quan was the latest guest on ESPN's "Highly Questionable", on which the rapper talked about his rough come-up (robbing houses four times a week), sports--he considers himself the rap-game Steve Smith, and his fallout with former Rich Gang partner Young Thug.
It was Quan who first announced he was taking a break from Rich Gang to focus on his solo output, and a couple weeks later, video emerged of Young Thug calling Quan "Bitch Homie Quan" during a "Rodeo" tour show last month. Since the incident, both have denied any ongoing beef, though Rich Homie told "Highly Questionable" he was upset by Thug's words: "Not to get in my feelings, but it hurt. Not as in I'm going to cry, but I would never disrespect you point blank period, especially when we have each other's numbers."
Though Rich Homie is taking the high road and not returning any insults Thugga's way, we can assume no Rich Gang for the near future.

2017 The grace of the Holy Spirit confers upon us the righteousness of God. Uniting us by faith and Baptism to the Passion and Resurrection of Christ, the Spirit makes us sharers in his life.
2018 Like conversion, justification has two aspects. Moved by grace, man turns toward God and away from sin, and so accepts forgiveness and righteousness from on high.
2019 Justification includes the remission of sins, sanctification, and the renewal of the inner man.
2020 Justification has been merited for us by the Passion of Christ. It is granted us through Baptism. It conforms us to the righteousness of God, who justifies us. It has for its goal the glory of God and of Christ, and the gift of eternal life. It is the most excellent work of God's mercy.
2021 Grace is the help God gives us to respond to our vocation of becoming his adopted sons. It introduces us into the intimacy of the Trinitarian life.
2022 The divine initiative in the work of grace precedes, prepares, and elicits the free response of man. Grace responds to the deepest yearnings of human freedom, calls freedom to cooperate with it, and perfects freedom.
2023 Sanctifying grace is the gratuitous gift of his life that God makes to us; it is infused by the Holy Spirit into the soul to heal it of sin and to sanctify it.
2024 Sanctifying grace makes us "pleasing to God." Charisms, special graces of the Holy Spirit, are oriented to sanctifying grace and are intended for the common good of the Church. God also acts through many actual graces, to be distinguished from habitual grace which is permanent in us.
2025 We can have merit in God's sight only because of God's free plan to associate man with the work of his grace. Merit is to be ascribed in the first place to the grace of God, and secondly to man's collaboration. Man's merit is due to God.
2026 The grace of the Holy Spirit can confer true merit on us, by virtue of our adoptive filiation, and in accordance with God's gratuitous justice. Charity is the principal source of merit in us before God.
2027 No one can merit the initial grace which is at the origin of conversion. Moved by the Holy Spirit, we can merit for ourselves and for others all the graces needed to attain eternal life, as well as necessary temporal goods.
2028 "All Christians . . . are called to the fullness of Christian life and to the perfection of charity" (LG 40 # 2). "Christian perfection has but one limit, that of having none" (St. Gregory of Nyssa, De vita Mos.: PG 44, 300D).
2029 "If any man would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me" (⇒ Mt 16:24).

This is a lab procedure during which the student investigates the strength of a magnetic field within a coil of wire using a magnetic field probe. Students will investigate how the magnetic field strength depends on the current in the wire as well as the number of coils in the wire.
More of the performance expectation can be covered if the teacher lets the students choose their own question to investigate related to the relationship between electricity and magnetism, and also asks them to investigate the reverse relationship.
Students are analyzing data they collect to draw conclusions about the relationship between electrical current and magnetic field. A lot of the analysis involves plotting data and finding the equation of the best-fitting line as well as explaining the significance of constants in their equations.
This relationship is investigated directly by the student in the lab.
The student is looking for patterns in magnetic field produced by a coil of wire.
Alignment to the Dimensions of the NGSS: The activity directly supports part of the performance expectation, the teacher can easily modify the activity described to make it less directed and to add the investigation of the relationship between a changing magnetic field and an electric current.
Instructional Supports: The investigation has very clear and lengthy instructions for the students as to what they should investigate and how they should measure it. However, it really doesn't provide background knowledge or information about the topic. The instructor will need to provide the students with that background knowledge.
Monitoring Student Progress: Some mention of student monitoring is included in the description of the lab but additional assessment should be included in the form of conceptual and quantitative questions for the students to discuss with each other and write as a reflection on the lab.
Quality of Technological Interactivity: Probeware and computers are used so learners can see the effect of altering the physical apparatus on the strength of the magnetic field.


1. We're strong supporters of Hospice Action Network, an organization that is committed to protecting and expanding Americans' access to hospice care. Like HAN on Facebook for regular updates about their advocacy efforts and education about hospice care in the United States.
2. Cultural sensitivity is very important at such a precarious time of life, and not all cultures were designed alike. This week, GeriPal, a Geriatrics and Palliative Care blog, had a thought-provoking blog entry discussing how Asian cultural norms can impede end of life care. Julie Thai also shares how legislators and clinicians in Taiwan are addressing the end of life issue.
3. Within our community, we often see families with long-distance caregivers. In sunny Arizona, there's many a retiree with family living elsewhere in the country. We know it's not easy to care for Mom and Dad from hundreds or thousands of miles away, and this article from AARP's Caregiving Resource Center offers tips for long-distance caregivers.
4. Hospice care isn't generally something families research for months ahead of time. Often, we're called in the last days of life, and this could be a family's first time experiencing hospice services. Here are answers to some frequently asked questions about hospice care.
5. And finally, because it's always interesting to see if the experts take their own advice, here's an article from the Chicago Tribune about how geriatrics experts care for their own elderly family members.
Check back in with us on Monday for a story from a Casa de la Luz Hospice volunteer, and have a terrific weekend!
Thanks for sharing these useful links. I hope you continue to provide us resources about hospice care.
I have been following GeriPal's blog about Geriatrics and Palliative care for more than a year now. I think, this is a good resource for those in the field of health care.


WWE legend Big Show has shown-off his incredible weight loss after undergoing hip surgery last year.
The 7ft behemoth, 46, has always been known for his massive frame, but has now boasted of his shredded physique in an Instagram post.
Real name Paul Wight, the Big Show couldn't wait to show-off his "giant abs" on Instagram, with fans hoping it's a hint regarding a return to Wrestlemania.
Taking to social media, the Big Show captioned the snap: "It's not the lighting.... #GiantAbs."
He later added part two of his "giant abs" tour, captioning a different snap: "The work doesn't stop. #GiantAbs. 2 days until #WrestleMania."
But it wasn't only the massive abs catching the eye of fans on social media, as the Big Show's rippling biceps and forearms stole the show.
In fact, the incredible new pictures have already been liked 93,746 and 58,499 times respectively at the time of writing - with many followers speculating as to his motive.
With Braun Strowman needing a tag team partner for an upcoming show between Raw Tag Team champions Sheamus and Cesaro, many are licking their lips at the prospect of a Big Show return.
One Instagram user wrote: "When are you going back Show? Strowman needs a partner for Wrestlemania."
Another added: "Looks like you are getting ready to be Strowman's tag team partner."
The news even spread to Twitter, as one fan tweeted: "You and Braun Strowman New Tag Team Champs!"
The Big Show has been out of action since last year - with his contract expiring last month - after being slammed through a steel cage... by Strowman.
The incident left the WWE star needing hip surgery - but he now appears more than ready to return.
With Wrestlemania slated for April 8, could the Big Show team up with Strowman back in WWE?


This is an image commonly found in NHS waiting rooms and depicts the idea of cost within the NHS. Even though the NHS is a free heath service in theory, the government still want people to be aware of the costs in practice. The idea of cost being thrown at patients constantly is interesting because it puts responsibility on patients to 'make the right choice,' when receiving services and aiming to be cost efficient.
This is a fascinating object. It would be great to know more about when such material began to be posted in NHS waiting rooms, or if this kind of costing was projected to the public in different ways.


China cut the amount of money its banks must keep in reserve, a move aimed at prodding them to make more loans to boost the country's weakening economy.
The People's Bank of China said Wednesday it is dropping the reserve requirement for commercial lenders by half a percentage point, down to 19.5 percent. It trimmed the reserve figure a full percentage point for banks that lend for agriculture and hydroelectric projects favored by Beijing.
The reserve cut, the first in three years for China, immediately adds about $96 billion to the balance sheets of China's state banks.
China's economy, the world's second largest behind the United States, advanced 7.4 percent last year. That was a substantially bigger gain than in the United States, Europe and Japan, but it was the weakest increase in 24 years for China.

How can passwords be stored securely in a database?
The issue of storing passwords in a database is one that requires looking closely at data encryption and security protocols that will stop these valuable pieces of data from being hacked or stolen. Experts have come up with some fairly reliable standards for keeping stored passwords in a database more secure.
In addition to principles and strategies for password protection, it helps to promote the use of relatively strong passwords that resist easy guesses by hackers. In addition, engineers and administrators must look at the vulnerability of traffic coming into or out of a database, to prevent different types of password theft.
One fundamental part of password security, in terms of database storage, is called a hash function. A hash function is a complex function that changes a text password into a more complex set of characters by using more complex operations than a familiar mathematical operation such as multiplication. Using hashes and hexadecimal formats can help those who are storing passwords on a database to confuse hackers. Hashes are also used to substitute shorter character strings for longer ones to make data storage and retrieval more efficient.
Another critical aspect of password storage encryption is often called "salt." The principle of salting passwords involves creating additional characters after a text string that are not part of the actual data being stored, but are just useless and insignificant symbols that help to disguise a password. Some refer to salt characters as "noise."
Using complex values and salt, and keeping different types of password keys in strategic places, can help to encrypt the passwords that are stored in a database. Processes for encryption are always evolving, and new technologies could provide additional opportunities for storing valuable data in secure ways. Professionals often use these emerging standards as a reference. For instance, as the technology Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) (which uses hashes) emerged in the early 1990s, it became a standard for encryption.

Blackburn school teacher died after motorcyclist 'failed to stop' at sign
By Sophie-May Clarke @sophiem_clarkey News Reporter
A708.
A SCHOOL teacher who was travelling as a passenger on a motorcycle was killed when another biker failed to stop at a crossroads.
An inquest in to the death Evelyn Grace King heard how she died from multiple injuries after the Yamaha bike she was riding pillion on with her husband, Paul King, was hit by another motorcycle.
The couple had been on a trip in the Scottish Borders at the time of the incident, which happened on the A708 from Moffat to Selkirk.
The 53-year-old of Borrowdale Avenue, Blackburn, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Reports from the Scottish authorities provided to coroner Richard Taylor outlined how an investigation had taken place into the accident after it was found that the driver of the second motorcycle had failed to stop before crossing a junction.
In a statement, PC Alan Beatty said: "CCTV footage from the Gordon Arms pub showed that the southbound motorcyclist failed to stop at a stop line and collided with the eastbound Yamaha of which Mrs King was a passenger.
"Both motorcycles were examined and found to be in good working order. A reconstruction of the incident was carried out and it is believed that the second motorcycle increased speed from 38mph to 42mph towards the incident point.
"Analysis revealed that both riders had no view of each other. This means Mr King had no time to react to the oncoming motorcycle."
The inquest heard how the stop sign was clearly visible at the junction, giving the second motorcyclist no reason not to have stopped.
Reports at the time of the accident said that the second driver, along with his passenger, were both taken to hospital in a critical condition, but survived the accident.
Recording his conclusion, Mr Taylor said: "Mrs King died on the A708 on the 6th of May 2017 from injuries sustained in an accident when the motorcycle she was a passenger on was hit after a second motorcyclist failed to stop at a junction."
At the time of her death, Mrs King's family described her as a precious daughter, beloved wife, and and loving mother and grandmother.


Did they know all that was ahead for them?
Our wedding was full of intentional detail + personal meaning behind each and every decision. What might have gone unnoticed, though, was by far my favorite detail of the day: our something borrowed was my grandparents' knife that they used to cut their wedding cake, 48 years ago today.
It was so incredible for us to hold that same knife, see their names inscribed, to think about the joy that they felt on their wedding day and to wonder about the love, trials, hills, and valleys that followed for the years of their marriage.
Houses, jobs, babies, travels, diagnoses, recoveries, loss, grief – did they know all that was ahead for them?
Do we have anything remotely close to a clue about all that is ahead for us?
Today we celebrate the 48th chapter of the story of two of my favorite people, the firsts to teach me about unconditional commitment and selfless love. One is in Heaven, and one I'm so lucky to say is still here with us.
Happy Anniversary, Nana & Pop-Pop.
Oh, glorious, glorious Friday. I'm so darn glad you're here.
It's been a bit of a crazy week. After difficult meetings, tough decisions, hard conversations, long drives to the city, and a bout of some flu-shot-induced fever, I was pretty stoked to see the Friday sun come up this morning. I woke today feeling a bit depleted and defeated – and as tempting as it is to throw a pity party, I'm choosing not to stay there.
I'm setting the challenge for myself (beginning today, woohoo!) of wrapping up each work week with a Giving Thanks. Sharing Sweets. themed post. It's easy for me to always be in a mindset of looking to the future, like the weekend; looking forward to relief and joy up ahead in the distance…but I'll admit that I'm not the best at giving a quick glance over my shoulder and being grateful enough to find the beauty during a messy week.
The goal? Be able to write down five things that I'm thankful for, and then to pass on five things (or sweets) that made my week a little brighter that will hopefully send some joy your way, too!
For my ridiculous group text. My saving grace over the past year and a half has been the daily selfies, terrible puns, "Happy Monday!"s, and constant coast-to-coast chatter back and forth between my two best friends and I. We call it Cheetah Girls and I'm not really sure why, to be honest. The day usually starts with one of us sending an early morning coffee mug + messy hair + sleepy eyes selfie, and it just is laughing and teasing all day from there. It's a constant bright spot during the day, which I love being able to count on.
2. For having a husband who gives grace and gets it. Remember that flu-shot-induced fever I mentioned? It was only a day but it was the absolute stinkin' worst! On Wednesday, it was my turn to plan date night. I had the best of intentions but came home from work burning up and down for the count. With all of the love and not a single complaint, Chad surrendered to a night of us camped out on the couch, binge watching The League (I'm obsessed…Taco forever), without a good dinner and with the basket of fresh laundry waiting to be folded left in the hallway for another day. Nothing romantic about that. Sometimes you just need to throw in the towel and collapse on the couch – and I'm so grateful that he gets that.
3. FOR THIS FACE! He crushed it at the vet, started a scary new fish oil supplement, and rode his first school bus this week like a champ.
Baked acorn squash! I made this last Friday and it's so simple! Maybe my new favorite fall staple. Mmmm, mmmm, mmmm.
3. This post from Emily Freeman What can I say? I love words…I love Tay.
4. This heaven on earth! If you're in the Delaware Valley area – I highly recommend putting Cherry Crest Adventure Farm in Lancaster, PA at the top of your Fall Festivities list. We went last weekend to celebrate our sister-in-law's birthday and it was so much fun.
A month ago today, the storm held off and the sun came out – and I was lucky enough to walk up an aisle to a big ol' tree, see my forever best friend (and all of our loved ones), pray to our Father, swap promises, and kiss!
I couldn't agree more with that, but I'd have to add just one thing – we can have joy because we have Jesus, and we can have joy because we have each other. Being reminded daily of the commitment and the promises that we've made to each other – for all seasons and above all circumstances – has done my heart some serious good.
1. Try new things (even if they scare you) – In our first month of marriage, my husband has pushed me to grow in big and little ways that I am so thankful for, including: going full speed on a jetski when there was a barracuda sighting just the day before (eek!), trying CrossFit when I couldn't lift even just a dumbbell to save my life, and trying new, intimidating, fancy rolls at the sushi place instead of sticking to my classic (read: boring) spicy tuna. All of these things have turned out to be amazing experiences, and all it took was a lot of encouragement from Chad, and a lot of trust from me.
3. Learning to cook takes time. Just because a Pinterest recipe swears to be *so simple, so delicious, so guaranteed to turn you into the perfect domestic chef that you are so totally not!*, does not always mean you should try it.
4. When life hands you burnt pork, make a frozen pizza and call it a loss. Or win. (See above).
5. High-five for everything! For being pronounced husband and wife, for riding those jetskis, for getting a barbell over your head, and for the Eagles scoring 39 points on the most beautiful Sunday afternoon. Something about high-fives makes those little moments just a heck of a lot sweeter.
7. Seek the simple moments. I think some of my favorite moments of marriage, so far, have not been the big and brag-worthy things, but the small and simple – reading together before bed, groggily listening to sports talk in the morning, binge watching Netflix, and on our honeymoon, simply walking to dinner at night — celebrating the small. Small is what life is all about, isn't it?
8. Just because you have a new Italian last name that you married into does not mean you are now magically Italian. Sigh. A girl can dream. Chad's still reminding me of this daily and I'm eating cannoli like I don't know it to be true.
9. Let things go. That little thing that your husband said twenty minutes ago that you read into, took to heart and let camp out in your mind? Yeah, LET THAT GO. Some things are worth talking about and working through. Others just simply aren't worth holding a grudge or causing a rift between the two of you.
10. Accept the help. Chad has been so stinkin' thoughtful and helpful around the house, and I don't know that I could keep it all together without him! He does the dishes, vacuums, folds laundry, cooks breakfast, and so much more, without being asked, and without accepting my insistence that "it's fine, I can do it". At first, my own selfish pride and our culture's mentality that women have to do it all crept in on me and wouldn't let me take the help. Girls, why do we always feel so much pressure to have to do everything by ourselves? We weren't designed to live that way, and we certainly can't do it alone! Accepting Chad's help, and letting him serve me now and then has made me see what true partnership and teamwork looks like. He has such a servant's heart and it makes me want to be a little more like him each day.
11. Put. The. Phone. Down. On our honeymoon, we chose to go phoneless for seven glorious, tech-free, heavenly days (well, except for when we had to adjust our fantasy teams, because, you know, #priorities). It was so sweet being together with no interruption, no grammin', no calls, no feed scrolling, no article reading. Being present with him during that week made me see how much I actually really desire to be unplugged more often. Since then, I've been trying (and failing…and then trying again) to be more intentional about not mindlessly paying more attention to my phone than to Chad when we're together. There's a time and a place for using your phone, for staying connected to others and to building into other friendships – but I don't think that time is when you have some rare moments throughout the busy day to just simply be with each other. What message does it send to each other when we'd rather see what all of our friends (and strangers) are doing instead of investing time into each other? It's a work in progress for sure, but one that I know is crucial – I'm so grateful that we are both working on it, little by little.
12. Have poker nights and wine nights (without each other!) Though we're absolutely in the wrapped up, honeymoon, can't-get-enough-stage right now (stop rolling your eyes), I'm so glad that we both haven't been totally consumed by each other. We've made time for friends, for family, for guys' nights and girls' nights, for alone time – it's all about the balance, baby.
13. Give second chances (and third chances, and fourth chances…) Anyone who's lived with me over the years knows that unfortunately, I am not the picture of joy or kindness first thing in the morning. It usually takes me halfway through my first cup of coffee before my second eye opens or a smile even dares to curve my lips just slightly. That being said, it's a little tricky having a husband who is on, up, and at 'em every morning when our alarm goes off at 5:30 a.m. We meet in the kitchen, me groaning and Chad bubbly, and once or twice, I'm ashamed to say, I've snapped or been short with him. What I love about this man is that he gives me grace constantly, but especially in the mornings. He's now known for saying, "Ok, do you want to start over and give this another chance?" after each one of my particularly grumpy morning comments. Then we start the morning over. Then we hug. And it's always a little better.
15. Juuuust the three of us (cue Will Smith background music)… A few months ago, we sat down with our premarital counselor and wrote out a vision for our marriage. We stated a lot of goals, dreams, plans, and ideals, but ultimately, we said that we just desire a marriage where God is at the center. Since September 12th, we've been striving to point everything back to Him, to thank Him in the good moments, to seek Him in the hard, and to glorify Him by loving each other. We're certainly not perfect at this (far, far from it, in fact), but with this vision in mind – we know our marriage can only grow stronger in true joy.
I love loving you, husband (I'm still not over saying that). Thank you for celebrating the small things with me and for making the first thirty days so sweet. The best is yet to come.

Family mourns San Jose woman killed by speeding cars
By David Louie
SAN JOSE, Calif. (KGO) -- The family of a jogger killed by two cars racing in San Jose on Monday says they are praying for the two drivers, who are in jail waiting for arraignment on charges of vehicular manslaughter.
A new guardrail has been installed, replacing the one destroyed in the crash. A steady stream of mourners has been coming to lay flowers to remember Kiran Pabla. But the kind of speeding along Yerba Buena Road that took her life continues as though tragedy had never happened there.
"I live on the corner, and you can hear them go by real fast all the time," said San Jose resident Elisa Barragan.
Barragan and her neighbors say Yerba Buena Road has become a raceway.
One day ago, Kiran was killed on the sidewalk as two cars went speeding down the hill. A makeshift memorial of flowers and candles marks the spot where the 24-year-old was jogging.
A memorial of flowers and candles marks the spot where 24-year-old Kiran Pabla was killed by two drivers who were speeding down Yerba Buena Road in San Jose, Calif. on Jan. 26, 201
"She didn't deserve this," said the victim's brother, Kunal Pabla. "She just went out for a jog just like every other day."
The extended Pabla family is in shock and in mourning. Kiran worked at a staffing agency. Her family was looking forward to celebrating her 25th birthday next month.
"I've had almost 150 people here over the past couple of hours to show their respects," said the victim's brother, Aman Pabla. "She was a very well-known person in this community. People loved her, people loved her smile, she was a joyful person. She didn't deserve this at all."
The drivers of the Nissan and BMW that crashed and killed the young woman are 18-year-old Gabriel Esparza and 23-year-old Manuel Anthony Maldonado-Avalos, both of San Jose. The police are seeking charges of vehicular manslaughter and reckless driving.
Gabriel Esparza, 18, and Manuel Anthony Maldonado-Avalos, 23, are accused of killing 24-year-old Kiran Pabla while speeding in San Jose, Calif. on Jan. 26, 2015.
The accident rekindles memories for Charlene Lennon, whose 20-year-old daughter Aly was killed by two drivers street racing in San Jose five years ago. The two fatal accidents are eerily similar.
"There's no reset," she said. "You cannot bring this poor young girl back. You can't bring my daughter back. What they did was a split-second choice and a decision on their part, and they should have to pay the full consequences."
Yet, speeding continues along Yerba Buena Road. On Tuesday, an officer issued seven tickets in just 30 minutes for as high as 59 miles an hour. The speed limit is 40.
"For those two guys that did this, I hope you guys go to sleep at night knowing that you guys killed an innocent person, but we'll still pray for your family as well," Aman said.
Anyone with information is asked to contact San Jose Police Departments Traffic Investigations Unit at 408-277-5382. Persons wishing to remain anonymous may either call the Crime Stoppers Tip Line, (408) 947-STOP (7867).

REPOST: 'They knew 9/11 was coming' Twin Towers cameraman claims he's got proof the George W Bush administration was behind terror attacks
Man says the most suspicious thing is what happened to building seven at the World Trade Center
A man who was accused of shooting his wife believes he has proof the attack on the World Trade Center's Twin Towers on September 11 is linked to the George Bush administration.
Kurt Sonnenfeld was working for the US Federal Emergency Management Agency, an organisation tied to the US Department of Homeland Security, when the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center took place.
After the planes crashed into the building, Kurt was given unrestricted access to ground zero - the site where the buildings once stood.
Armed with camera gear, the 39-year-old was asked to film everything he saw.
His documented evidence was supposed to form part of a report about what happened - but he never handed back the footage.
His life began to unravel in the following months and years, leading to the death of his wife.
She was found dead on a couch in the home the pair shared with a bullet wound to the back of the head.
Fifteen years later, the now-54-year-old is on the run in Argentina.
The US government wants him back in the country.
Officially, they say he's wanted over the murder of his wife, but he believes it's something far more sinister.
He says they want to silence him over what he saw beneath World Trade Center 6, evidence he is convinced paints the Bush Administration as big players in the deadliest attack on American soil.
As police arrived at Kurt's home, they heard him utter the words "I can't believe she shot herself".
When they gained access to the couple's home on New Year's Eve in 2002, it was obvious that Kurt had been drinking.
He had blood on his hands and alcohol on his breath, police told GQ.
They said in an upstairs room they found Nancy in red underwear, still breathing, but barely.
They rushed her to hospital with part of the bullet still protruding from the back of her skull.
She died, aged 36, the following morning.

Brasserie One is a lunchtime restaurant serving creative modern European food within "One Great George Street", a conference and events venue, located just off Parliament Square in Westminster.
The perfect option for great value relaxed or business lunches in a convenient central London location.
Had lunch at Brasserie One yesterday... food was OK, tasty if unspectacular, though in fairness we were a bit rushed and didn't really delve into the menu in any great detail. Service was excellent and attentive without being overbearing. Where this place falls down is its location, in the deep underbelly of the Institute of Civil Engineers... my guest had to phone me on arrival as they wouldn't let him in! I then had to run out to fetch him, all a bit of a fiasco. They should sort this out.
Brasserie One, inside and down the stairs in the Chartered Institute of Engineers near Westminster is a very nice find - a simple dining room, well laid out, discrete and well served by attentive but unobtrusive staff - delivered quick and high quality modern British food (liver, hake, chicken tarragon etc) excellent coffees and a good wine list.
Brasserie One at 1 Great George Street, Westminster, London, SW1 - a good place for a working lunch. Speedy service, good staff and prices were reasonable.
Brasserie One, Westminster is a hidden gem. Two courses for £20 is not cheap and cheerful however the quality of food, presentation and service was very good. Book a table to secure your spot and there is no rushing you away from the table if you book post 1pm (clears out post 2pm!).
Booked Brasserie One for a quick work lunch - nice food and good price!
Great place to have a quick, tasty meal in the Westminster area where there are few such places. Friendly staff, good menu and nice selection of wines. Would recommend a visit for business lunch or tourist treat.
Limited lunch menu with not a lot for small eaters. We had two starters whcih were well done and delicious.
Excellent for a reasonably priced venue in Westminster.
good food but service not great. had to ask 3 times for the bill which is not ideal when having a business lunch under a time constraint.
Brasserie One, London. The club sandwich really good and great value.
The Brasserie One in Westminster is a lovely place to dine in. The ambience is not the best, but the staff and the food are beyond excellent!
Went for a quick weekday lunch at Brasserie One, although nearly missed it as it was unclear from outside the building that the brasserie was inside! Service was fine and food was decent - nothing outstanding, but fine for a mid-week lunch. Prices weren't too bad given the proximity to Parliament Square and portions were a good size.
The Restaurant Brasserie One is a very nice restaurant, staff friendly. The food very good. Very nice deal.

Volvo Penta on the Move
Volvo Penta to Shutter Seven Marine and Launch Electric IPS
The Power & Motoryacht Crew
The Swedish engine manufacturer is making serious waves with news of their shuttering of Seven Marine and their launching of an electric IPS system.
Volvo Hybrid Power
A new breed of crew vessels will utilize a mix of electric-powered IPS drives, gensets, a battery pack and diesel power. These innovative commercial vessels may unlock a new trend in marine propulsion.
When one of the world's largest wind farm operators requested a hybrid-powered crew transfer vessel, they looked to Volvo Penta for propulsion options. The end result is a unique mix of electric Inboard Performance Systems (IPS drives), five variable-speed Volvo D8 gensets and two D13 diesel engines. A battery pack will complement the power to support peak-shaving and allow the vessel to operate in full electric mode at low speeds.
Building the 112-foot vessels became a fully collaborative, international effort—design firms in the U.K. and Australia drew up the plans while the Afai Southern Shipyard in China will lead construction. The vessels, set to launch in the summer of 2021, will feature eight cabins and carry up to 24 crew. They will run workers out to wind farms located 56 and 65 nautical miles off of England's Yorkshire Coast. Efficiency was the paramount objective, and the engineers at Volvo worked with Danfoss Editron, which specializes in electric propulsion, to come up with the hybrid power plants.
"One of the best ways to advance our technology is to take on these bold projects and work collaboratively with other technology leaders," says Peter Granqvist, Volvo Penta Chief Technology Officer. "This project is teaching us a lot about experimental technical solutions, and we are excited to see the outcomes and learn more."
The Electrical Volvo Penta IPS
The vessels will use quad drives for propulsion: two electric and two diesel. The main source of power for the electric propulsion will come from five Volvo D8 gensets. These smaller gensets offer variable speeds combined with a selectable option to run one or all of the gensets to lower downtime and increase efficiency. Additionally, the gensets can be replaced by fuel cells or similar technology as it becomes available. Perhaps the most exciting part of the system are the electric IPS drives themselves, which will be powered by electric motors supplied by Danfoss Editron. Once proven in the waters of the North Sea, it wouldn't be a surprise to see similar electric options filter down to recreational boats.
The crew vessels will be capable of operating fully electric or in a hybrid mode. When cruising to the wind farms all four Volvo Penta IPS can be used. When transiting the harbor at idle speeds or at the wind farm, the operator can make a switch and run the vessels with the battery pack powering the electrical Volvo Penta IPS legs or any combination of one to all five gensets, depending on weather conditions.
Volvo estimates the hybrid option will save about 127 metric tons of CO2 compared to traditional, diesel-powered vessels. —Charlie Levine
Seven Marine Outboards to Be Retired
In an announcement earlier in the week, the Volvo Group outlined a plan to hit science-based targets in order to become a net-zero emissions operation, citing a project to develop and commercialize fuel-cell systems—with commercial trucks as the initial focus.
To do its part, Volvo Penta says it is significantly accelerating its own sustainability projects to reach zero emissions via fossil-free, renewable fuels, electric and hybrid technology.
To meet these goals, they have announced that Seven Marine outboard production will be halted and phased out once current demand is met.
"We want to send a clear message," said Volvo Penta president Heléne Mellquist in a statement,
"Volvo Penta does foresee that the outboard segment will continue to be relevant for the Marine Leisure market, but we believe that the indisputable need to drive advancements in sustainable technology must be our main focus. This is why, for the time being, the exploration of new technology together with the development of our core business, such as Volvo Penta IPS and sterndrives, will be the center of our efforts."
Seven Marine's current outboard customer base will still see support via full warranty and parts responsibility from Volvo Penta.
"In the future, the world will be powered by a combination of battery-electric and fuel-cell electric vehicles, along with other renewable fuels to some extent. The formation of our fuel-cell joint venture is an important step in shaping a world we want to live in," said Martin Lundstedt, president and CEO of the Volvo Group. —Jeff Moser

Monuments to the Pharaohs point out that a selection of sports, together with swimming and fishing, were well-developed and controlled a number of thousands of years ago in ancient Egypt.
You meant so much to the beautiful game, to the world, to Deutschland, and Bayern Munich. Your legacy and all you've given to the sport will never be forgotten and remembered forever. RIP Gerd.
