A Blood Test And A Brave Man Changed The Way The World Saw AIDS
By Alex | Dec 14, 2017
The Los Angeles Lakers of the 1980s and early '90s were pop-culture icons. Known as the "Showtime Lakers," they wowed crowds across the U.S. with their uptempo style of play, combined with their style and flare. They were led by the ever smiling Earvin "Magic" Johnson, and he was just that, "Magic."
The ever smiling Johnson was the face of league before Michael Jordan would even come onto the scene. Drafted 1st overall in the 1979 NBA draft, he helped lead the Lakers to an NBA Championship as he filled in for Hall of Fame center Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, earning the NBA Finals MVP award. This would be the first of five titles that Magic would end up leading the Lakers to during his 12 year career. That smiling face was still making a huge impact on the game as he started off the 1991 NBA season.
Everything changed in November of 1991 when Johnson made an announcement that would shock not only the sports world, but the entire world at large.
On November 7, 1991, Earvin "Magic" Johnson took to the podium in Inglewood, California for a press conference. The NBA was abuzz with what could possibly be getting announced, no one expected, or could have predicted what came next. When Magic spoke, he announced that he would be retiring from the NBA at the beginning of what was his 13th season because he had tested positive for HIV. Johnson found out that he was HIV positive after taking a routine blood test for a life insurance policy.
In the early 1990s, HIV/AIDS was still a wildcard. People didn't fully understand the ramifications of what contracting the virus actually meant. Most people were terrified of just being near someone who had contracted the virus, and everyone, including many physicians considered it to be a death sentence.
The media's response to his announcement only proved how important this moment was.
During his retirement press conference, Johnson thanked everyone who had come out there to support him, and told the media assembled, using his trademark smile, that he planned on being around for a long time and living a fulfilling life.
EPSN
There was a somber, controlled atmosphere to the press conference, something that is not normal for such massive announcements as journalists couldn't ever wait to start screaming questions at the speakers. But this time they sat and listened. They listened as Johnson told the world that he would become a spokesperson for the fight against HIV/AIDS. They listened as he said that he planned on working with the league (and hopefully the Lakers) to continue to propagate the game of basketball around the world. They listened as he spoke about how he would miss basketball, "but life does go on."
TIME / Newsweek
This was one of the major turning points in the fight against HIV/AIDS. Few public figures, and none as prominent as Magic Johnson had ever publicly announced that they were fighting off the potentially deadly virus. His announcement and poise were praised by health professionals.
"I hope that Americans everywhere will understand better today that AIDS is not a remote disease that only strikes 'someone else,' " Dr. Louis W. Sullivan, secretary of Health and Human Services, said in a statement. "Everyone must be aware that the AIDS epidemic can reach them. I am very heartened by the announcement that in the months and years ahead, Magic Johnson will help carry a lifesaving message to young people across our nation."
Up until that November 1991 announcement, HIV/AIDS was considered to be a disease of the poor and disenfranchised. A disease of drug addicts and homosexuals. It was not something that you spoke about in "polite" company. It was also considered to be universally fatal to anyone who contracted it, Magic changed all that.
He was not poor, and definitely not disenfranchised. He was not a drug addict, nor was he gay. He was the face of the Los Angeles Lakers, and one of the most popular athletes the world over. Magic's brave stance in the face of the virus that could potentially end up taking his life changed the way we see the virus, and the AIDS disease that follows after.
Magic stood with poise and class as he spoke eloquently about what he would miss most about the game that had given him so much.
"I'm going to miss it. I'm going to miss coming in at 5 o'clock (before games), saying hello to the security people, the ushers. Getting to see you guys (reporters) at 6 o'clock: 'Magic, what about this, what about that?' I'll miss that. I'll miss the battles and the wars but most of all I'll miss the camaraderie with the guys. . . ."
It wasn't the end of his basketball career though. He came back for the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, Spain. He was a member, and one of the leaders, of the original "Dream Team" comprised of the best basketball players the world had to offer. Magic went out on top, winning a gold medal beside the likes of Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Scottie Pippen and a long list of future Hall of Fame players.
Dodgers Nation
Now, 26 years later, Earvin "Magic" Johnson is still alive and living life to the fullest. He is working with the Lakers as their President of Basketball Operations. He hopes to lead them back to the glory days of the Showtime Lakers of the 1980s and early '90s.

Adam Sandler's Touching Tribute To Chris Farley Caught Everyone Off Guard
It's hard to believe that it has been 21 years since we last got to enjoy something that was made by Chris Farley. He was such a big part of pop-culture, with his larger-than-life personality and his impeccable comedic timing, that his loss is still felt today. Many people talk about his movies, his time on Saturday Night Live, but his friends knew him as so much more than the characters he played. Adam Sandler was on SNL at the same time as Farley, and they became good friends. While Sandler has obviously gone on to have quite an impressive
'Mighty Ducks' Star Shaun Weiss Arrested Again Only Months After Leaving Rehab
After Shaun Weiss' arrest in August left everyone worried about the former child star, the actor was forced to re-evaluate his choices. His mugshot showed a gaunt, sickly, and unrecognizable man, but Weiss believed this was his "rock bottom" and hoped to come back from it stronger than ever. In a statement released to his Facebook page after the arrest, Weiss revealed that he realized he was in "danger." Oroville Police Department"At this time, in an effort to break free from the self destructive patterns of behavior and drug abuse that have landed me at rock bottom, (to be


It seems lately that either Salmonella or Cyclospora or something else has taken over some popular food items recently. Either it is the kid-favorite (and adult-favorite) Goldfish crackers contaminated with Salmonella, or the recent melon recall, or the Kraft Heinz Food recalling cheese dip after possible botulism poisoning.
Many are asking if the recalls will ever stop, or just slow down for that matter. At this time, it hasn't. The CDC recently reported that almost 300 people infected with Cyclospora parasites after eating at a nationwide restaurant.
Federal health officials have confirmed Cyclospora parasites in salad mix sold at certain establishments. The salad mix was supplied by Fresh Express, who recently was under fire for another recall pertaining to lettuce.
According to "Food Safety News," almost 300 people in 15 states have been infected with the parasite.
The Food and Drug Administration said that they are expecting Fresh Express to communicate and make sure that affected establishments are not selling or using this product any longer.
"Fresh Express reported to FDA that the romaine from the same lot as the positive sample was not packaged for direct retail sale by Fresh Express and had already expired," the FDA reported on Wednesday, August 1.
At this time, the FDA has only reported publically that McDonald's is the one affected by this parasite. However, several more companies have not been revealed to the public at this time.
The recalled salad mix includes romaine lettuce and carrots with the expiration date of July 19.
The onset date for victims with the parasite range from May 20 to July 12, however, consumers with symptoms that began after June 14 have not likely been included in the case count yet, according to the CDC. It may take up to six weeks for the confirmed cases of Cyclospora to reach the federal level.
As of July 26, there have been 286 confirmed cases of the infection who ate at McDonald's. At least 11 people have been taken to the hospital. CDC believes that the number will likely rise due to the delay in reporting.
If you have this recalled product in your home, you are asked to discard the item. Be sure to inform your family and friends.

A major survey on China's water resources revealed that the number of rivers with a catchment area of at least 100 sq km was less than half the total estimated 60 years ago.
The Ministry of Water Resources' first ever national census of water found that there were 22,909 such rivers at the end of 2011, compared with a previously estimated figure of more than 50,000.
Huang He, deputy director of the group in charge of the census, attributed the large decline to historically inaccurate estimates as well as climate change and water and soil loss.
Previous figures were compiled using incomplete topographical maps dating back to the 1950s, he explained.

A Victory for the Baby
Rita Warren is a 68-year-old immigrant who grew up in Mussolini's Italy. But this Christmas, Rita taught her Virginia neighbors an all-American lesson in protecting freedom. For years Mrs. Warren has traveled from Fairfax, Virginia, to Washington, D.C., to set up a nativity scene at the Capitol. But because Mrs. Warren sat by her crèche all day long and then took it home at night, the display was considered a form of free speech, not a public display. But this Christmas, Mrs. Warren took a different tactic. She knew that last June, the Supreme Court had ruled that the Ku Klux Klan had the right to erect a cross in a public park in Columbus, Ohio. Such displays are permissible, the court said, if public property is designated as a forum for public expression. Well, if the Klan had the right to a public display, Mrs. Warren decided, then so did she. And then this elderly, soft-spoken woman got as tough as any ACLU lawyer: She threatened to sue Fairfax if city officials didn't permit her to display her crèche on public property. And on December 7, she won. The city designated an area near city hall for public displays and gave Mrs. Warren permission to set up her crèche there. Mrs. Warren was ecstatic. As she told the Washington Times, "It's a victory for . . . the little baby in the cradle and for all the people of Fairfax City." Well, not all the people. The grinches at the ACLU are muttering and fuming and trying to figure out some way they can get rid of Mrs. Warren's crèche. But if they decide to take Rita Warren on, they'll have quite a fight on their hands. Because this is one woman who takes religious freedom seriously. Although it happened more than 50 years ago, Rita Warren still remembers the day Mussolini's henchmen marched into her junior-high classroom in Italy and stripped the cross off the wall. In its place, they hung pictures of Mussolini and Hitler. Instead of reciting the Lord's Prayer the children were forced to salute the two dictators and sing their praises instead of God's. The memory was burned into Rita's mind, and stayed there long after she immigrated to the U.S. in 1947. It taught her that citizens must fight to protect their religious freedoms. "I am not a religious fanatic," she told the Washington Times. "But maybe if we Italians had put up a fight years ago, we could have avoided that horrible war." Unlike Rita Warren, too many Americans think we can strip the public square of all religious influences and replace them with a benign secularism. But as Mrs. Warren discovered, when you get rid of God, another ideology will almost certainly spring up in His place—one far less benevolent. That's why we ought to thank people like Rita Warren for reminding us how fiercely our religious freedoms have to be guarded. Even if it means single-handedly taking on city hall—and a few ACLU grinches—to do it.

On the occasion of the Great River Race, we are proud to honour Centennial Romania with a brand-new fleet of six boats exhibited on the Thames' banks and participating in London's river marathon, in their maiden voyage. Each of them features one of the six historic provinces that accomplished Romania's Great Union of 1918: Wallachia, Moldova, Transylvania, Bessarabia, Bucovina, and Dobrogea.
The exhibition is poised to bear testimony to the strong Romanian identity, its diverse and wealthy cultural heritage, its lasting traditions, heroic past and vibrant present. The boats are made by one of the last authentic Romanian woodwork craftsman, who is trying to salvage the noble and old craft of wooden boat-building. Moreover, they show construction characteristics and adornments specific to the Romanian historic regions.
Historical regions of Romania
The region formerly known as Bessarabia, located just across the border with Romania as part of the modern-day Republic of Moldova, reunited with Moldova and Wallachia in March 1918, after a brief period of being a part of the Russian Tsarist Empire. Positioned between the Prut River and the Dniester River, in the middle of the rich and exquisitely beautiful Cucuteni archaeological culture (5000 B.C.), with stunning landscapes and a cornucopia of produce, Bessarabia is welcoming and surprising. Some of Europe's best wines are to be found here, as well as the largest wine cellars one can imagine; the underground limestone galleries stretching over lengths of tens and even hundreds of kilometres and tens of meters depth shape legendary subterranean wine cities, where millions of litres of wine rest at constant temperatures all year long. Its unforgiving winters yet mellow springs and colourful autumns make it a perfect destination for cultural tourism and ecotourism.
Bucovina, an astounding treasure trove, is the Northern Romanian region where nature, communities and divinity connected to revel in the impressive thick forests. The natural canvas has been gracefully transferred into the vibrant colours of the churches and monasteries that stand as testimony to an exclusive architectural and decorative style. One of the most impressive feature of this wondrous region is the famous "Voroneţ blue", a unique hue, amazingly well-preserved on the exterior walls of the 15th century monastery, and whose recipe has been long lost. The Voroneţ Monastery, the "Sistine Chapel" of the East, is just of one the tens of spiritual and historical places scattered all over Bucovina. Its picturesque villages, the lavish cultural heritage and archaic places are among the gems of this area where tradition still drives its inhabitants' destinies.
In Moldova nature's majesty and rustic life brilliantly balance the spirituality, smooth language and culture of the seemly people who steward for it. Like in any other Romanian region, the traditions, faiths and customs are carefully preserved and reverentially transmitted to the next generation. George Enescu was born in Moldova; he started as a prodigy child, only to become one of the most relevant violinists, pianists, composers and professors of the 20th century. The Romanian national poet, Mihai Eminescu, was born here, as well as Nadia Comăneci, the first gymnast in history to be ever awarded a perfect score of 10.
Sheltered by the spectacular Carpathian Mountains natural fortress, Transylvania took its name from its luxurious woods; the Latin words "trans" ["beyond"] and "silva" ["forest"] designate the "country beyond the forests". Together with Banat, Crișana and Maramureș, Transylvania reveals a lavish collection of late-medieval castles, Saxon fortified churches (out of which seven are designated by UNESCO as World Heritage Sites), strong and austere peasant fortresses, towns with quaint and quiet streets, traditional communities and picturesque old villages. Yet the region is both rich in history and technologically advanced. Along with pristine scenery and refined urban landscapes, one of the many fortunes benefitting these four historic Romanian regions is the industrious and creative multi-ethnic population.
Dobrogea is cuddled between the Danube and the Black Sea. It is a magical place, bursting of history, both wet and dry, young and old, a territory where ethnic minorities live harmoniously since centuries, each group tapping into the others' wide array of crafts, customs and traditions. The historic legacy of the ancient Greek and Roman cities of Pontus Euxinus gently trickled into the lineage of those who came here from all over, to trade on water and on land, to make wine and cheese, to grow grains and bees. Dobrogea harbours also the Danube Delta, the youngest Romanian land, a simultaneously generous and fragile chest of treasures, whose natural resources are perfectly attuned to the cultural ones, because the vibration of the place stems in the deep relationship between people and nature. The inhabitants of the Danube Delta, the best-preserved territory of its kind in Europe and the largest compact reedbed area on the planet, are acutely aware of the importance of preserving nature because they are intimately and critically dependent on it. This remote and almost isolated area is the most genuine representation of a man-made, responsible and long lasting cultural and natural ecosystem.
Bordered by the Carpathian Mountains and the Danube, this is a territory with rich soils, and an intense and restless history, mirroring its many names: Wallachia, Țara Românească, Muntenia. The province over which Vlad the Impaler reigned in the fifteenth century would succeed, by ruse, in 1859, to achieve the union of the two Romanian states: after the election of Alexandru Ioan Cuza as the ruler of Moldavia, the inhabitants of Wallachia decide to elect him as well, thus sealing the union with Moldavia. Here one can witness the "live fire", a amazing natural phenomenon – a flame that springs from the earth, prompted by the release of natural gas. The Horezu pottery, expressive and crammed with ancient ritual significance, paves the way for the peasant artist Constantin Brâncuşi, who marked a watershed in the way we see art, the visionary sculptor who manages to marry the representation with the essence of the representation.

I've got the bike ready to test and thinking of checking out how close to the lick observatory I can get. Cold as hell but could be some cool shots.
tomorrow (later today) ill be testing the bike so Sunday morning might be a doable ride. If anyones around let me know.
My bike has been having charging issues. Fixing that today and grabbing a new regulator. This will be my first non-garage vlog lol.
Last year this time there was snow though. fun and beautiful ride.
I have been road tripping to Mt Hamilton for over 40 years..I will be making moto-vlog video very soon about it, the "junction" is a good place to meet other motorcycle riders and have a good lunch too..


I've been lost in a cold, snowy haze, and at a loss for words. I'll be back soon with something to say I hope, and more pictures of the paintings I've been working on. In the meantime, I went over to Mixed Media Monday; their challenge this week is Moon/Lunar. Here is my take on the moon.
Oh man, that is really cool! I like the body with tree limbs. I like the color and sheen of the moon. Very nice.
Obviously I am a little late getting here, but this is so bizarre! I freaking love it. Actually, it scares me.

Conflicts... ...can be solved.
THE BENEFITS OF MEDIATION
TYPES OF MEDIATION CONSIDERED
MEDIATION PHILOSOPHY
Time efficient
Parties decide
Individual/Family Issues
Small Business Issues
Residence/Neighbor Issues
Consumer/Business Issues
Business Partnership Issues
Our goal is to help the parties find a helpful and constructive path forward and to explore potential solutions.
Parties almost always come away in a better place than when they walked in.
WHAT IS MEDIATION?
Mediation is a voluntary, confidential process aimed at assisting parties in finding a mutually agreeable resolution to their differences. A mediator is not a judge but rather assists the parties in a neutral manner in identifying the key issues of concern to them -- and helping them explore potential ideas and solutions which the parties may have for reaching a resolution. While each mediation is different, the process often can take place in a single session of one to two hours.
Joshua Mendes has devoted a long career to listening to people -- as a business journalist (at Fortune and CNN), as an investment analyst at Merrill Lynch, and now as a certified mediator -- overseeing over 70 mediations as well as lecturing on the topic. He currently serves as a volunteer mediator in New York City's Bronx Small Claims Court.
He received his Basic Mediation Training at Columbia University, Advanced Mediation Training through the NY State Unified Court System, and Advanced Commercial Mediation Training at the New York City Bar Association. He received his B.A. from Dartmouth College and an M.P.A. from Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government.

New Map Spotlights Light Pollution In The Rural West
By Madelyn Beck
1min 10sec
Tim Wallace / Descartes Labs
Cartographer Tim Wallace created maps that merges nighttime light imagery and population data.
Originally published on February 14, 2020 3:35 pm
Light pollution is usually associated with big towns and cities. But a new kind of light pollution map shows it's also a problem in rural areas, including in the Mountain West.
New Mexico-based cartographer Tim Wallace, with the data visualization company Descartes Labs, recently created a map that merges nighttime light imagery and population data. That revealed "areas that create an outsized amount of light per person living there," he wrote on Twitter.
"There were definitely some spots in the Mountain West," Wallace said. "In Colorado I remember one in particular where it was not labeled on Google Maps or on OpenStreetMap. You look at it overhead on high-resolution satellite imagery and it just looks like some kind of complex."
Those complexes tend to be oil and gas operations, suburbs and even greenhouses. The Bakken oil patch in western North Dakota, for example, where drillers are flaring record amounts of natural gas, is the most conspicuous cluster of light on Wallace's map.
Greenhouses growing leafy greens and cannabis stand out, too. That rural light pollution increasingly concerns John Barentine of the International Dark-Sky Association, who says it has negative effects on wildlife.
"Whether they're plants or animals or insects, it's all across the biological world," Barentine said. "Which is just a reflection of the fact that our biology on this planet grew up in an environment where for billions of years there were only natural sources of light at night."
But he says simple measures like using blinds for greenhouses could mitigate the problem, helping to preserve the region's iconic night sky for years to come.

Bringing the Beloved Film to Theaters, Blu-ray™, Digital HD and More!
LOS ANGELES, CA (January 20, 2015) – Twentieth Century Fox proudly honors the 50th Anniversary of the 1965 box office smash and five-time Academy Award®-winning The Sound of Music with an unprecedented year-long, company-wide celebration highlighted by theatrical and home entertainment releases, and a slate of cross-company and promotional partnerships that will bring one of the world's most 'favorite things' to millions around the globe. The unparalleled golden anniversary of the film's premiere will launch March 2 in the United Kingdom and March 10 in the United States with the release of the 5-disc Ultimate Collector's Edition 50th Anniversary Blu-ray™/DVD/Digital HD. Beautifully restored, the 5-disc 50th Anniversary Blu-ray features over 13 hours of bonus content highlighted by the all-new documentary "The Sound of a City: Julie Andrews Returns to Salzburg," detailing Andrews' recent return to the magical city where she filmed her iconic role, Maria, half a century ago!
The celebration will continue on March 26 with Turner Classic Movies (TCM) paying tribute to the film's legendary stars, Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer, with an opening night screening of the movie at the sixth annual TCM Classic Film Festival (which runs from March 26-29). Famed film historian Robert Osborne will introduce the brilliantly restored film at the opening-night gala and moderate a Q&A session with Andrews and Plummer.
The treasured film will once again proudly shine on the big screen in commemoration of this special anniversary. Through a Fox partnership with Fathom Events and Turner Classic Movies, a beautifully restored version of the film will be shown for two days only, April 19 and 22, in over 500 theaters across the U.S. (www.FathomEvents.com).
"The Sound of Music is one of the most beloved movies of all time and has become part of the cultural fabric of generations around the world," said Mary Daily, President of Worldwide Marketing and Chief Marketing Officer, Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment. "From its very beginning, The Sound of Music has brought immense joy to millions. The 50th anniversary offers us the opportunity to honor this very special film – the music, scenes and moments that continue to keep it as relevant today as when it first premiered."
A phenomenon upon its debut in 1965, The Sound of Music's spectacular 'roadshow' release spanned over two years in theaters, inspiring audiences on the way to winning the "Best Picture" Oscar, as well as millions of fans spanning multiple generations. A testament to its enduring popularity, this timeless classic enjoys nearly 2.5 million Facebook followers (50% 34 years old or younger).
The Sound of Music 50th Anniversary celebration will feature a global partnership with Princess Cruises, also celebrating its Golden Anniversary in 2015. The acclaimed line will screen the movie on board multiple sailings throughout the year along with themed events, sing-a-long experiences and more. Beginning in March, fans can enter to win a Princess cruise for two plus a $500 Princess Cruises gift card each month through the end of the year with a total of nine chances to win.
The emotional all-new The Sound of Music documentary, "The Sound of a City: Julie Andrews Returns to Salzburg," blends personal memories with fascinating history, as Ms. Andrews returns to key sites in the story of the von Trapps, including Nonnberg Abbey, Mondsee Abbey and the "Do-Re-Mi" steps at Mirabell Gardens. With the Blu-ray, fans can further explore the making of the biggest live-action musical of all time with numerous featurettes highlighting the movie, music, real-life von Trapp family and more. The Ultimate Collector's Edition Blu-ray will feature an exclusive, 50th anniversary soundtrack from Legacy Recordings/Sony Music, which includes eight international bonus tracks never-before released in the U.S. Legacy Recordings/Sony Music will also release, for the first time ever, a special 50th Anniversary soundtrack featuring the full film score.
In addition to the new Special Edition Blu-ray and CD soundtrack, no less than four new books are being published in 2015 to coincide with the anniversary, focusing on the film. They are: "The Sound of Music Companion – 50th Anniversary Edition" (Laurence Maslon, Pavilion/Rizzoli); "The Sound of Music Story" (Tom Santopietro, St. Martin's Press); "Sound of Music FAQ" (Barry Monush, Applause Books); and "The Sound of Music: BFI Film Classics" (Caryl Flinn, BFI).
Before it was an Academy Award®-winning film, The Sound of Music was a Tony Award®-winning Broadway musical, and productions of the stage musical continue to be presented all over the world. 2015 will see the launch of a major new stage tour across the U.S. and Canada, directed by Tony Award-winner Jack O'Brien, simultaneous with another stage production touring the U.K.

Collaborative human – automated truck platoons begin to address the 50% nationwide driver shortage.
Ensure: Compatibility with existing highway traffic.
Focus: Human factors, safety and operations, and workforce development.
Address: Institutional issues affecting deployment.
• What personality types are suited for platooning, how to recruit, how to screen?
• How should autonomous truck platoons behave to instill trust and ensure comfort?
• What platoon information, how  much, frequency, and mode (audible,  tactile, graphical) should be provided  to each driver? • What is the maximum size of a workable  platoon considering human workload,  economics, and safety?
• How does the size of the platoon affect non‐platooned traffic with respect to efficiency, and safety?
• Specific behavior at entrance and exit ramps. • Fleets late to operate in a  collaborative platoon face a  HUGE competitive disadvantage.
• Collaborative savings achieved are 486% higher than aero  savings alone.
Autonomy WILL happen-join CHAPTA and stay ahead of the curve.

This video shows RTK GPS-based bus guidance on a narrow shoulder between Apple Valley and downtown Minneapolis, MN. Four views are upper left: View through Head Up Display showing virtual lane markers in comparison to actual lane boundaries and forward collision awareness (white boxes). This video was taken on 02 January 2010; the buses have been in revenue service since August 2010.
To improve the efficiency and safety of winter highway maintenance operations, Minnesota typically operates snowplows in "gangs" on multi-lane roadways. Operational difficulties lie in the area of visibility; the leading snowplows create localized "whiteouts" where drivers in the following vehicles are unable to determine lane boundaries and detect other vehicles. Automated platooning was developed and tested in 2004 on highway 101 North of I-94 near Rogers, MN. With the automated platoon, the following plow can follow the lead plow at a user-specified lateral and longitudinal distance using RTK GPS, map databases, and V2V communication (all that was available at that time was 802.11b). This leader-follower behavior can be maintained regardless of the weather conditions.
CHAPTA investigator Shankwitz led the development of an RTK GPS0-based Drive Assist System which allows snowplow operators to clear roads in low-to-zero visibility conditions. The system featured here clears roads on the Thompson Pass near Valdez, AK, and is one of three current deployments (others being in California and Minnesota). This system was first installed on 2 vehicles in 2003; three more were added to the fleet in 2011. Courtesy of the Speed Channel.

I have done my best to note any content that may offend or make certain people uncomfortable. I've marked these possible contentious resources with an icon for your convenience, and included a description of how the content might not match your specific teaching style. All of the resources listed below are the property of their respective authors, unless otherwise noted.
We use Amazon Affiliate links- please see the policy on the right sidebar.
We have a large world map (we ordered <this one> from Amazon to hang on our wall), which we used to look up the latitude and longitude of the major cities. We also looked at how to use Google Maps to enter coordinates, and how to find coordinates on a paper map. We had a lot of fun looking at the topography on the paper map and then zooming in on areas of interest on Google Maps. We keep a small, handheld globe next to the TV where we watch videos, and a placemat with the world map at the table. Having these sources readily available has opened numerous conversations about our current topics as well as places Kitt heard about in the real world or on cartoons, etc.
We also watched the BBC Africa series on Netflix, which covers the entire African continent with all its biomes.
There is mention of the practice in Ancient Egypt to marry siblings.
We found a few videos describing the political structure of dynastic Egypt. Since we had already covered Alexander the Great and Ptolemaic Egypt, we just reviewed those later historic periods and identified them as a change in government.
We discussed the potential (and real) abuse of power by the various officials and priests, especially the viziers- who could potentially only pass on their own agendas to the pharaoh when they summarized the reports they received.
Kitt has aspirations to become an author, blogger, and/or YouTuber, so I have included as many culturally equivalent entertainment aspects for each culture we are studying as I can find in each unit. There are very few resources about theater in Ancient Egypt, but we discussed how theater began with religious rituals to honor the gods and how the people explained the natural world without science. We tied this discussion in with our mythology and religion studies.
We also watched a few related videos, sometimes following the rabbit hole to see where it leads.
Since Ancient Egyptians were preoccupied with death and the afterlife, we explored some of this topic in depth.
This section explores death, cremation, and the embalming process. It's all animated and neat, but not for all audiences.
Kitt really got into writing her own prophecies around this time, so I didn't make her read a related novel. It was interesting to see a few lines of her prose hint at things we learned during this unit. Instead of reading a book (we already read a book on Cleopatra during our Roman unit anyway), we studied how languages evolved, hieroglyphics, and the discovery of the Rosetta Stone.
This last video covers the Rosetta Stone and the difficulties cracking the code.
Kitt had no interest in writing her name in hieroglyphs or doing any sand art. We worked on drawing cats, mostly from the Warrior's (Erin Hunter) series fandom. As we watched time-lapse videos of other artist's work, Kitt doodled and sketched. Unfortunately, the artist herself declared her work unfinished, and therefore, not ready for internet viewing, so I have no pictures to share for this process.
We started using the Learn Math Fast system, supplemented by games on Prodigy. Since we were still getting used to these systems, I didn't have Kitt work on any specific math projects. Some ideas would be to incorporate some 3D pyramid geometry projects into the unit or to plan a large scale temple-style painting on a big paper by grid drawing (ideas we didn't get to, unfortunately).
How is Ancient Egypt Relevant To Us?
Warning- the author of this last video is a bit intense, and there are hints of adult content (think Easter Eggs, like in Shrek). Kitt loves this series, and laughs at some of the references she notices. This is a purely secular video, but fun to watch regardless.
For review, we printed out the resources below and went over the flashcards as Kitt cut and glued the pieces into her timeline binder. (We opted to send the PDF of the cards to my tablet so we wouldn't waste paper.) Having the timeline cutouts match with the flashcard review made this so much easier. Instead of a test, Kitt had to tell me something about each person or event corresponding to the card.
I absolutely love this idea for keeping World History relevant for Kitt. We printed it out, put it into a nice binder, and started adding significant dates to it.

In my case, after reading this blog I have come to except that I can know my life is very blessed and yet I can still fight with depression, and that does not make me a bad or selfish person, just one who battles with Depression and still I knows God loves and blesses my life. I am grateful for those like this Blogger who battle their own personal demons, and yet willing to put themselves out there to share and help others feel less of a freak and have some hope and insight to use to battle our own personal demons.
I look forward to the day when "Depression" is an excepted and recognized medical illness to the majority in the public, like Cancer and AIDS, that some deal with in our lives, and not an embarrassing condition that is thought to be just a choice that if a person wanted to can "Will" ourselves out of. We cannot begin to medically fix a problem, until we can admit that it is a problem.
I do love this man. Have enjoyed the last 15 years he has been part of my life.
I have been blessed to live in many different part of the world: Japan, England, Italy, and in the USA, born in California, lived in Virginia, Maryland, Texas and now retired in Utah.
I come from a big family, two extraordinary parents, Donald Barrett & Della Rae Smith Danner, with two brothers, three sisters. My first marriage was 18 years and from it I have five adorable wonderful children, two daughters, three sons, that I love beyond anything I thought was possible. I have been in my current marriage to Danny, that I love and adore for 14 years,. With my husband Danny I have been blessed to add five adult step children into our blended family: three-step daughters and two-step sons. I have come to love them as if they were my own children. Yes, you did that math right, that is 10 children in Danny and My family! At the current time we have 16 wonderful grandchildren, with # 17 due in Aug and #18 due in Oct.
Even as a young child, I wanted to know more about my family history; who they were, how they lived. I would enjoy listening to my parents, aunts, uncles; grandparents talk about anything to do with our family history. My paternal grandmother Ellen Barrett Danner spent her adult life searching for any clues she could on her family history. For my 14th birthday I asked for my own "Book of Remembrance"; so I could start to compile my family history as my grandma Ellen had. This was before the internet was used by us common folk so I had to learn how the "Old Timers" started their family research the old fashion way with paper and pen in hand I started to work on my family history. I took a family history class with my parents in the mid 1970's, yes I am dating myself. I am old, just not as old as my one daughter thought when she was young she asked if I had lived on the earth when Christ was alive ;). When we took our family vacations I remember going with my older brother Fred, around to the cemeteries and would write down all the names of those who we thought we might be related to. Then we went back to our grandma to tell us everything she knows about the names we had found. When my adult life came with its many responsibilities, somehow my Book of Remembrance got tucked away as I raised my own children, and the years turned into many decades before I got my book back out to work on.
Now, as a more seasoned lady with grandchildren I find I want to rekindle me passion for exploring my family history, finding out who my ancestors were, and not just their names and dates. The Internet has made genealogy research faster and easier by providing many historical resources online, allowing many of us to quickly and easily find information about our ancestors. But, what advice could I find to where I need to start back up and enjoy the increasingly popular hobby of genealogy. I am finding that no matter how long I am at this research, I am always learning new ideas of discovery from others who also enjoy this same hobby of family research. I am always open to any help, advice or tips from anyone willing to send some my way.
Before you begin your family history research, it is a good idea to focus on what you want to achieve. Do you wish to pursue the paternal (male) line with its continuity of surname, or the maternal (female) line, or perhaps even verify a family legend? You may find that the decision is made for you, if the research proves difficult. If, however, you decide to pursue more than one line, be sure to keep your research organized and file the results separately to avoid confusion.
The golden rule in family history research is to try to work backwards from what you already know. As such, family history truly does begin at home and you may be surprised at how much you already know or have access to within your own extended family. It is not necessary to have a lot of detail to start, but it makes sense to log whatever information is readily available and to seek out further details from relatives. Begin by recording your own details – date and place of birth, marriage, spouse, children – then the details of your parents, grandparents and so on as you recall them.
Information from relatives can increase your knowledge of the family, but a patient and tactful approach is required. Family anecdotes can become distorted with the passage of time, but should still be noted for later verification. Be sure to interview your relatives, especially the older ones, as they may have information about your ancestors that you won't find in any database. Write everything down for future reference. Getting in touch with your relatives may often prove to be a rewarding and enriching experience.
How successful you are in researching your family history is determined by a number of factors, many of which are beyond your control. Your success can depend on the survival of records, how common your surname is; your family's social status and level of literacy, and the possibility of transcription errors. However, success can also depend on your own tenacity, keeping an open mind and not taking anything for granted, being methodical, approaching a problem from more than one angle and corroborating any evidence you may find. In spite of the occasional "brick wall", you may find that the genealogy hunt itself is almost as exciting as the thrill of discovery. One thing I have started doing is once I find the dates and place of a family member, I go look up that area's history during that time period, so I can get a better understanding what the living environment of my family was living.
Most families possess old documents or photographs, which can be of use to the family historian. Examples of documents you might find, which can significantly aid your research, are: Birth, marriage and death certificates, obituaries, family bible, school certificates, university/school graduation certificates and awards, military service records, business papers, immigration papers, travel documents, diaries, address books, birthday books, letters, postcards, newspaper cuttings and memoirs.
Go through old family photographs and see how many people you recognize. Show the photos to older relatives to help jog their memory. Try to ask them to identify as many faces as possible, so that this information is preserved. Any information that can be gathered from within the family can help establish a foundation on which to build your family history.
Libraries and bookshops stock a range of material on family history. You may want to consider joining a family history society in your area. For a small annual fee you will receive all the benefits of membership (magazine, research facilities, well-stocked libraries, research services, ready advice) and meet like-minded individuals. Consider also joining a society in the area in which you are conducting research. You can also turn to the Internet for an active genealogy community. You can find forums in which to post questions, read answers, hear about others' successes and failures, and find additional resources.
The family tree is the nucleus of any family history research and putting it together is often an exciting journey that can play out like a detective story. Maintaining the family tree information that you accumulate on paper notes may quickly get out of hand, so use genealogy software to help you keep track of the various individuals in your family tree and the relationships between them. Family Tree Builder is a good choice for this. It's free, supports multiple languages, offers a very easy interface to enter and review data, and allows you to organize your entire photo collection according to the relatives pictured.
The Internet offers a wealth of genealogy data, but this information is scattered and difficult to find. To save time, use the dedicated genealogy search engines like, familysearch.com, ancestry.com, or one of the other ones that are now available online. I use several and this helps me find information on one that might not be on the other.
Once you have put together your family tree, collected some interesting old photos of your family and gathered family legends, stories and anecdotes, don't keep this treasure to yourself! I invested in a wonderful scanner and have made use of scanning many family treasures to share online with others. They will be able to contribute more to your research and perhaps help you fill in missing information. Distant relatives can also find you this way so that long-lost cousins can reunite as a result of your efforts. I have even used my Facebook to create several family pages and share some of my family tree and family history gems, including photos, documents, stories and more. I than invited all my relatives to become members in my different sites and open some areas in my site for access to guests from the Internet. This is just a start, but it's a means for me to share what I have, and hopefully others with start to share their family finds. What's nice about this is even if they might not be interested at this time, it will always be there for them to go look and learn from when it's convenient in their own lives. It a place to share and learn from others about your family history.
So what is some advice, or tips you have on how to start doing family research?
My personal block is 1400's Switzerland family with surname Tanner who change it to Danner around the 1600. My 12th Paternal Great Grandfather is Sebastian Tanner, the only data I have on him is: Birth 1489 in Bern, Switzerland, Death in Switzerland; Wife was Barbara Zwyer. Their son, Johann Jakob Tanner is my 11th great-grandfather, his data is Birth 19 Jul 1510 in Lichtenberg, Bas-Rhin, France; Death 22 Mar 1570. Anyone have advice of any leads I could look to find information of my 1400 Swiss Family history?

My life's greatest joy have always been about my Family! I enjoy researching to learn about the family members who came before. It's though the lives they lived and followed that I am blessed to enjoy the life I been able to have. I try to capture any and every little detail of our family times to be able to created our Family Book. I look with great hope to the future though the eyes and enjoyment of my grandchildren. FAMILY ~ PAST ~ PRESENT ~ FUTURE …its a life journey that has brought me much happiness. I cherish the ties that bound us together. I am proud of my family and all they stand for in their individual lives. It's an unconditional love that I learned from my mother, and hope to pass on to my children and grandchildren.

International Relations: Global Order in Historical Perspective
The MA International Relations specialisation Global Order in Historical Perspective at Leiden University focuses on the processes behind the evolution of the global order.
numerus fixus60plaatsen
During this Master programme you will gain insights in the pursuit of global justice and the variety of ethics, ideologies, institutions and norms that underpin the international political system. You will engage with different trajectories of states, organisations and peoples, examining how they are manifested in power relations and interact at different points across time to order the world. You will draw on a multiplicity of perspectives and expertise across the Area Studies of the faculty of Humanities, and examine a range of different issues, from politics and ideologies to the evolution of international law and diplomacy, the emergence of civil society and the rise on non-state actors. The MA also explores the development of institutions such as the UN and the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, which structure interactions and power relations within the international system.

I now comprehend international relations in a whole new way
Like my Political Science BA at the University of California, Berkeley, I expected the Master's in International Relations at Leiden University to present a similar cohort of theories and studies that would take my understanding of the world to the next level...
In addition to the core curriculum, a diverse set of electives both inside and outside the programme in International Relations allow you to focus on what interests each individual student most. Nonetheless, it is safe to say that the Master's programme in International Relations will push your boundaries and broaden your view of the world.
The Hague and Bologna
Coming to study International Relations in Leiden has its advantages past the academic as well. Proximity to The Hague, "the city of peace and justice" gives students the opportunities to go on institutional trips and visit some of the many important international bodies, such as the International Court of Justice or the OPCW. Finally, part of the attraction to the programme for me was the opportunity to study an additional year at the School for Advanced International Studies at Johns Hopkins University in Bologna to obtain a second MA degree.
Steven Muskee - Student Testimonial International Relations Leiden University
I chose the MA in International Studies (former specialisation of International Relations) at Leiden University because it is solidly rooted in the Humanities. Its multidisciplinary approach challenged me to look beyond the traditional paradigms of the field.
Well prepared
The programme offered a wide range of electives that stimulated me to think critically about the underlying ideas and beliefs in global politics...
An internship is a great way to bridge theory and practice. After three months, the Ministry offered me a job as a media monitoring and analysis specialist.
Benefits on a daily basis
Today, I put into practice what I have learned. My improved analytical and writing capabilities as well as an in-depth knowledge of international relations truly benefit me on a daily basis in my first job.
Lisanne van Unen - Student Testimonial International Relations Leiden University
I chose this master's programme because it approaches International Relations from a different perspective. I studied the same subject during my bachelor's in Groningen and a semester in Portugal, and I wanted to study it from a new angle. This master's is part of the humanities faculty. You learn to be critical of all forms of information, a valuable skill in any field.
In my year, many students had a bachelor's in a different field and often a different country, which made discussions more 'out of the box' and lively...
However, it is also a perfect way to combine a different background with the field of international studies.
Migration and BRIC countries
The different electives give you the opportunity to specialise in a region or field, or to broaden your knowledge. For example, I followed electives focusing on migration and on BRIC countries. The programme gives you a solid theoretical foundation, which helps you form a reasoned interpretation of the world. It inspired me to see more of it. I travelled a lot after graduating and started writing articles. I am now considering looking for a job in journalism or applying for a PhD position.

The Foscarini Behive offers a warm light to which a light directed downwards is added. A diffuser screen located on the inside conceals the technical parts and leaves the light source free to illuminate downwards. And so, the white light takes on a double value: it emphasises the particular graphic art nature of the rings, and focuses the lighting on a well defined area.

Waterpik Complete Care Waterflosser & Toothbrush 5.0 is rated 4.4 out of 5 by 7.
Rated 5 out of 5 by MimiMcD from Good Bathroom kit It takes a little getting used to but this appliance is excellent for going the extra mile cleaning teeth. The adjustable water pic flow is powerful cleaning under bridges and around crowns. The assorted head options should suit all requirements. The toothbrush feels much gentler.
Rated 5 out of 5 by LAM80 from Clean teeth & gums at home! Bought this online late last year and I'm so glad I did! The brush is great. Love the three different settings - clean, whiten & massage. But so particularly love the water glosser. It's so effective. I put some antibacterial mouthwash in the reservoir so whenever I floss too. It's the fastest and most effective flossing method I think!
Rated 5 out of 5 by Rosie57 from Complete package I couldn't be happier with this purchase! After the first use I could notice an improvement! Now after a month, my teeth are whiter, breath is fresher and overall feel better. So easy to use. Fits conveniently on bathroom sink in its little station. All attachments have been useful. Very basic to use. Highly recommend.

Report: Electric Buses in Eindhoven
In the year 2025, all new buses in the Netherlands will have to drive CO2- free, according to an agreement from April 2016, between the public transport sector and Infrastructure and Environment State Secretary, Sharon Dijksma.
At the same time, all energy used by these buses should come from solar panels or wind farms in the same region where the buses drive. In practice, however, more than 99% of the buses were still driving on diesel last year until Eindhoven, the most important city in the south of Holland, with about 225,000 inhabitants, introduced a fleet of 43 extra-long, fully-electric buses in December 2016. Though London has, technically speaking, more buses, with 51 electric buses in a city of over 8 million inhabitants, these are all standard 12-meter-long buses, whereas Eindhoven carries many more passengers with its unique 18-meter-long, high-tech buses.
The buses are made by VDL, and Eindhoven uses the Citea SLFA Electric model, an extra-long bus with a BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) design. The vehicles have a capacity for 43 seated passengers and 82 standing passengers, and are fitted with an extra-wide entry door and full LED lighting at the front, sides and rear.
Juul van Hout is the enthusiastic regional president of Connexion, the company that owns the buses in Eindhoven. His experience with new buses has been positive, so far: "We started December 11th with 43 buses, 33 running within the timetable and 7 taking turns, while we keep 3 spare busses, in case buses need servicing. The first experiences are very positive, with many enthusiastic reactions from passengers and drivers. All buses have Wi-Fi and USB charging ports, and are very silent. In fact, the drivers need to be cautious that other road users are aware of the buses at all! We therefore equipped all buses with a special "bell," similar to those on streetcars, to enable the bus driver to warn others, when necessary." There have been some expected technical difficulties, but strangely enough, not with (empty) batteries. "During the first two weeks, we had some technical problems with a water pump, a steering pump and compressors. This has nothing to do with the bus being electric, and could happen with a diesel, as well. But malfunctions like this do often lead to a disturbance of the software, and then the bus needs to be towed away. After these first two weeks, we did not have a single issue anymore, and all buses run according to schedule," explains Van Hout. And of course the drivers had to get used to driving electric vehicles: "They need to be very disciplined, to pick the right vehicle and strictly follow the charging procedure. The buses can drive for at least three hours with their 180 kWh battery and, after that, they are fully-charged in 35 minutes with 270 kWh fast chargers during the day, or slowly with 30 kWh chargers during the night. Furthermore, our drivers need to win back sufficient energy through ecodriving." The bus company is not only replacing a part of its fleet with electric vehicles, it also promises a significant increase in both rides and passengers. Part of this is realized on the line to Eindhoven airport, which is rapidly growing.
A sustainable region
That Eindhoven has the largest fleet of electric buses in any city of mainland Europe may not come to a surprise to anyone who knows the city and the region. Eindhoven is home to the so-called High Tech Campus around the Technical University. More than 150 tech companies and research institutes, with about 10,000 researchers, are working full-speed on new innovations. Among the companies on the campus are Philips, BXP, IBM and Intel, among many smaller ones. These companies strategically share knowledge and R&D facilities, to increase the pace of innovation, especially in the areas of Health, Energy and Smart Environments. One important example is Solliance, a research organization that works with a number of hightech partners to develop the next generation of solar cells, so-called "thin-film" solar cells. These partners include Panasonic, Forschungszentrum Jülich, DSM and several others. Solliance aims to translate what has already been proven academically into high-tech production methods, through shared research programs with the business community. The importance of the tech industry in Eindhoven was officially recognized in November 2016, when the Dutch parliament decided to label this areas as a "mainport," thus giving it the same status as Schiphol Airport and Rotterdam Harbor.
Other electrical buses
The introduction of buses in Eindhoven is the biggest project among several other smaller ones in the Netherlands, and elsewhere in the region. The previous issue of Plugin Magazine discussed the introduction of 35 BYD electric buses at Schiphol Amsterdam Airport. And as of January 1, 2017, electrical buses from Arriva, one of the main public transport companies in the Netherlands, drive at the Dutch islands of Ameland, Vlieland and Terschelling, as well. The same company also introduced the first electric bus in Maastricht in December 2016, where all buses are planned to go electric within three years. In Cologne, Germany the transport company, Kölner Verkehrs-Betriebe AG (KVB), converted bus line 133 in Cologne to fully-electric. This is Germany's first 100% electric bus line in operation. They use eight VDL Citea SLFA Electric, the same buses as in Eindhoven, but with a smaller 120 kWh battery pack. And the best is still to come.... Though Eindhoven already has the most important electric bus project in Europe, the best is still to come, according to the plans of the transport company, Connexxion. Not only will many more buses be CO2 free by 2025, way ahead of the minimum demands of the Dutch government, but plans are on the drawing board for 36 meterlong super buses. Both all-electrical and equally clean hydrogen versions are developed. According to Connexxion, "Those buses are two to three times as long as the current one. In a doubledecker version, hundreds of passengers can be transported at the same time." This would revolutionize public transport, as it not only makes the current public transport CO2 free, but would dramatically expand the capacity of the bus system, thus allowing for many more passengers, and a decrease in mobility through cars. This system could potentially solve the congestion in other popular cities, like Amsterdam and Utrecht. Both the current experiences and the plans for the future may point the way for both cities and the bus sector around Europe.

Q: Slipping in non conditional code between if thens Every time I move to the next if in an If-Then chain, I want to increment k. Let me show you below. I put some brackets encapsulating what should be in "Then". I know this can be done with nested If-Elses but I'm hoping to find a way with ElseIfs for readability.

 If (wsD.Cells(j, 3) = "LTD") [Then
                    wsNS.Cells(i, k) = wsNS.Cells(i, k) + 1]

k=k+1

                ElseIf (wsD.Cells(j, 3) = "STD" Or InStr(wsD.Cells(j, 3), "Workman's Comp") <> 0) [Then
                    wsNS.Cells(i, k) = wsNS.Cells(i, k) + 1]
k=k+1

                ElseIf (wsD.Cells(j, 3) = "Vacation") [Then
                    wsNS.Cells(i, k) = wsNS.Cells(i, k) + 1]
k=k+1

                ElseIf (InStr(wsD.Cells(j, 3), "FMLA") <> 0 Or InStr(wsD.Cells(j, 3), "FFCRA") <> 0 Or InStr(wsD.Cells(j, 3), "FPML") <> 0) Then
                    wsNS.Cells(i, k) = wsNS.Cells(i, k) + 1

I want it logically to be like this:

Function Demo()
k = 1
If (a) Then
'''stuff

Else
    k = k + 1
    If (b) Then
    '''stuff
    Else
        k = k + 1
        If (c) Then
        '''stuff
        Else
            k = k + 1
            Etc

End Function

A: Only code inside the true condition block is executed. Maybe you want something like
n = 0
If (wsD.Cells(j, 3) = "LTD") Then
    n = 1
ElseIf (wsD.Cells(j, 3) = "STD" _
    Or InStr(wsD.Cells(j, 3), "Workman's Comp") <> 0) Then
    n = 2
ElseIf (wsD.Cells(j, 3) = "Vacation") Then
    n = 3
ElseIf (InStr(wsD.Cells(j, 3), "FMLA") <> 0 _
    Or InStr(wsD.Cells(j, 3), "FFCRA") <> 0 _
    Or InStr(wsD.Cells(j, 3), "FPML") <> 0) Then
    n = 4
Endif

If n > 0 Then
   k = k + n - 1
   wsNS.Cells(i, k) = wsNS.Cells(i, k) + 1
End If

A: Since the code would be executed block by block, there is no need to increase k after each false condition.
If (wsD.Cells(j, 3) = "LTD") Then
    k = 1
ElseIf (wsD.Cells(j, 3) = "STD" Or InStr(wsD.Cells(j, 3), "Workman's Comp") <> 0) Then
    k = 2
ElseIf (wsD.Cells(j, 3) = "Vacation") Then
    k = 3
ElseIf (InStr(wsD.Cells(j, 3), "FMLA") <> 0 Or InStr(wsD.Cells(j, 3), "FFCRA") <> 0 Or InStr(wsD.Cells(j, 3), "FPML") <> 0) Then
    k = 4
End If

wsNS.Cells(i, k) = wsNS.Cells(i, k) + 1

However if you really need to do this, maybe the code below fits you. I don't recommend though.
Private k

Private Function testIncrement(bool As Boolean) As Boolean
    If Not bool Then k = k + 1
    testIncrement = bool
End Function

Private Sub yourMainCodeHere()

    k = 1

    If testIncrement(wsD.Cells(j, 3) = "LTD") Then
    ElseIf testIncrement(wsD.Cells(j, 3) = "STD" Or InStr(wsD.Cells(j, 3), "Workman's Comp") <> 0) Then
    ElseIf testIncrement(wsD.Cells(j, 3) = "Vacation") Then
    ElseIf testIncrement(InStr(wsD.Cells(j, 3), "FMLA") <> 0 Or InStr(wsD.Cells(j, 3), "FFCRA") <> 0 Or InStr(wsD.Cells(j, 3), "FPML") <> 0) Then
    End If

    wsNS.Cells(i, k) = wsNS.Cells(i, k) + 1

End Sub

A: Similar to other suggestions - if you really want this:
Sub Tester()

    Dim a, k
    a = "c"
    k = 0

    If plusOne(k) And a = "a" Then

    ElseIf plusOne(k) And a = "b" Then

    ElseIf plusOne(k) And a = "c" Then

    ElseIf plusOne(k) And a = "d" Then

    End If

    Debug.Print k '3

End Sub

Function plusOne(ByRef i)
    i = i + 1
    plusOne = True
End Function
