Illness and recovery reporting
If you own a company in the Netherlands and one of your employees becomes ill, you must notify your company doctor (Dutch) or working conditions service (Arbodienst). As soon as they are recovered, you must notify them as well. You do not have to report to the Employee Insurance Agency (Uitvoeringsinstituut Werknemersverzekeringen, UWV) if the illness is only short-term.
Notifying illness to the Employee Insurance Agency
If your employee is ill for more than 42 weeks, you need to report this to UWV (Dutch). This also applies if you are a self-insurer for the purpose of the Return to Work (Partially Disabled) Regulations (WGA). You do not need to report your employee's recovery to UWV.
Taking sick leave and privacy
If your employee calls in sick, they are required to state the reason of their absence and to give an expected 'return to work' date. They don't have to give specific details about their illness (or cause of illness). If possible, they may indicate which tasks they might still be able to perform during their illness. Please contact the Dutch Data Protection Authority if you want more information on sickness and privacy with regard to your staff.
Sickness benefits
Sometimes a sick employee is entitled to sickness benefits. This applies to, for example:
- employees who are ill as a result of pregnancy or childbirth
- employees with structural functional limitations and occupationally disabled persons who are ill (no-risk policy)
- employees whose employment ends during their illness
If your employee is entitled to sickness benefits, you must report your employee's illness to UWV by no later than the 4th working day. You can do this online by means of the (Dutch-language) Absenteeism Reporter for the Sickness Benefits Act/Work and Care Act (Verzuimmelder Ziektewet/WAZO). You must notify UWV of this employee's recovery within 2 days.
Getting a second opinion
Is your sick employee uncertain about the assessment by the company medical officer? As of 1 July 2017 an employee who is ill has the right to consult a second, independent, medical officer.
Occupational health services and medical officers take care to provide an independent complaints procedure. As an employer you must conclude a contract in which regulation changes such as that of 1 July 2017 and others are recorded.
Dismissal during sick leave
If your employee's contract ends when they are on sick leave, you must report this to UWV (Dutch) on the day the contract ends. You are no longer obliged to pay their wages.

ive been thinking and maybe the reason i like the grinch so much is because i identify with him. when i was in school i was thought of as fat. i really wasnt fat then but i believed what people thought about me. i definitely wasnt one of those skinny mini teenagers but i really wasnt fat. i look back on pics of my younger days and i think if only i could be that "fat" now!!! i didnt date much in high school and i had low self esteem. i still suffer with this to this day!! the difference is now i really am fat!! i know that im fat. i am able to say that to other people now but i still dont like it if other people say it about me. in our society fat is definitely not acceptable!!! you cant be pretty if youre fat today! i know its not healthy and i do have health issues that would improve if i lost weight. i probably wont live as long if i dont lose weight. i know what i need to do to lose weight but that doesnt make it any easier. i have been successful at weight loss before so i know i can do it. i lost 70 pounds before on weight watchers but gained it back because of the meds i was taking. i was however maniac at the time and became obsessed with weight loss. oh what a wonderful obsession! if i could only get it back again!! i was a walking commercial for weight watchers! i would talk to anybody who would listen about it!!! i never ever cheated!!! now my obsessions are eating and shopping!!! both have negative results!! why does food have to taste so good and eating be SO enjoyable?? why do i get such a high out of shopping????

70 lbs on Weight Watchers! That is awesome! Those dang meds. My mom found success with WW too. I love how real & honest you are. It's so difficult that we can always see the flaws in ourselves & of course that's what we dwell on.
P.S. I'm so glad you learned how to post pictures-- I'm loving the pics of your family. The one with your hubby in the Santa hat cracks me up!

This past week I have been working on a few custom blythe dolls.
This is Teddy.
I named her Teddy because she has special Teddy bear eyechips.
She also loves her Teddy Bear Throwaway Pet.
They go everywhere together.
I love her Cherry lips.
They are my favorite thing about her.
Here she is dreaming on some frosty pumpkins.
I think she is dreaming of where she will end up living.

This cute little guy would be perfect for saying Hi, Thank You or just Have A Happy Apple Day to your favorite teacher of anyone needing a little lift! The Apple template is one of my Shape EZ templates you can create with too. They all come in JPEG, PNG, PDF and SVG files so you can use in a cutting machine or run through your printer like a digital image and hand cut.
I've used design paper by Colorbok from Walmart by Heidi Grace designs and some Kraft Paper today and distressed with Ranger Distress Ink. Played again today with some of the terrific Paper Nest Dies soon available in the store called Punky Skull and Bow Die and the Heart Felt Trio.
Some of the little extras include Buttons Galore and More Cherries Jubilee and Latte buttons and Prism Craft Thread. Ribbons from Joann Fabrics and the Sentiment set used is "Use your Words" from the Little Darlings Rubber Stamps Store.
I colored Owen in Copic ink, the Red is R32,35,37, the skin tones are E00,E21,E13, E93,E95 and the yellows are YG000,YG01,03.
Hope you enjoyed the share, I've been playing with my favorite new photo frame/edit program again so you can see more photos on my blog above and there will be a link to my Etsy store where the template is available for purchase as well.

Water rendering is becoming more and more popular during the last few years due to increased GPU performance. Now, we are capable of rendering anything realisticly, but not all in real-time. Since water can't be rendered as a geometry realisticly and efficiently its recommended to use other techniques, such as particle based techniques like metaball or image space blur.
Throughout the thesis I discuss various options for fluid rendering and examine them in detail if they can be used for real time fluid rendering. Since most techniques lack in detail or use an approximation, the use of these techniques are restricted for video-games or entertainment media softwares, but not for realistic fluid rendering.
The most realistic output can be reached using metaball particles, but it's very expensive since metaball calculations are very GPU consuming. Raymarching is also a contra, since we can't compute the collision of the ray, we need to search it step by step. Optimalizations can and must be used for a real time output.
The thesis discusses all the optimalizations that can be made for metaball water rendering and examines their implementation. The starting position and the limit of the ray, binary searching, screen space uniform grid, shader optimalizations. For the realistic detail raytracing is needed, but since the priority is real time we must make a sacrifice leaving realism behind. We use an approximation for the refraction and reflection modell.
After examining the metaball rendering technique we discuss image space blur technique, that also uses particles but does not connect them realisticly, it uses bilateral blur, making a nice, but not realistic output.
Both techniques have pros and contras, they're also discussed in the thesis.
Real-time fluid rendeing can be reached on a Personal Computer.

Reading: Matthew 11: 25-30
As we celebrate the tenth day of Christmas, let me tell you a story about a boy named Nathan. Nathan was a very special child. He came from a good family, had gone to grange camp, and was overcoming some medical problems. He indeed was very special, in his own special way.
I encountered Nathan my second summer of being a church camp counselor. He was in my cabin. I knew from the start that he would be an interesting boy to work with. He was slow and needed the extra time to get himself ready. Periodically, I'd have to remind him what he was doing. When he got one sock on, I'd remind him to put the other one on. When he got his socks on, I'd have to remind him to put his shoes on. After he got one shoe on, I'd have to remind him to put the other one on. Nathan was indeed special.
Nathan gave me the appreciation for little things– getting dressed, putting on my shoes, and the like. We often get caught up in our busy daily schedules and sometimes forget about the little things such as the small ant on the ground, the bird chirping in the tree, or the squirrel scurrying with a nut. They are a valuable part of creation and truly make the world a better place. Unfortunately, they get lost as we hurry from place to place, going about our daily routines. But, they are parts of our life that are even more valuable than our hair appointments, work deadlines, and car problems. They are the simple things which God made for us to care for, enjoy, and appreciate.
Did you feel rushed and overly busy this Advent and Christmas season? I've already been planning on how I can do things differently next year so that I can enjoy the season more. Perhaps I will try to do that all year round!
So, the next time you put on your shoes, think of Nathan. After you have one shoe on, remind yourself to put the other one on. Think about the small things in your daily life and appreciate them. Don't just take them for granted.
Oh, by the way, Nathan, it's time to put your left shoe on. --Chad Hershberger, Camp Mount Luther Director
Closing: Watch this video rendition of the folk song, "Simple Gifts."

Same as it ever was | home

March 1, 1958
This was the first Rock n' Roll concert I ever attended. Buddy Holly and the Crickets at the Trocadero, Elephant and Castle.
As was the style back in the olden days, they were traveling with supporting acts. As I recall they were an English pop "star" Gary Miller, a new comedian trying to break through Des O'Connor and The Tanner Sisters. None of these made any impact then or now.
But Buddy Holly and The Crickets, what a concert, what a talent. When they broke into "Maybe Baby", a big hit in the UK at the time, the 4500 crowd in attendance went wild. They may have even slashed a few chairs, also a trend at the time. Buddy Holly was a supreme talent, he could both sing and play guitar very well. But his greatest talent was a songwriter, both words and tunes. Listen to virtually any song he wrote and it takes you back to the time when we did not carry guns and despite the threat of the "Bomb" we were all so much happier then. To me it was a gross oversight when MTV or VH1, whatever published their list of "100 most shocking moments in Rock and Roll" without even a mention of Buddy's death. The plane crash that killed Buddy Holly, the Big Bopper and Richie Valens was to me, and many others The Most Shocking Moment in Rock and Roll.
If Buddy had lived, I am sure he would still be a big influence in the music industry. His music will never die.

Simple Pricing Strategies To Improve Sales
Kapil Nakra 3 Min Read
Last year ford managed to earn $7.2 billion, more than any other auto maker company. Ford couldn't have managed it without a new pricing strategy that helped them to upgrade their vehicles they sell. Thus, smart pricing strategies are required for development of a business and for such a competitive marketplace.
Below stated are some fascinating studies about how companies should cleverly set their prices
Price anchoring should be employed
Anchoring is a cognitive bias according which it is a common human tendency to be too heavily dependent on first hand of information that is offered to them. This method is generally used by restaurants where the more expensive items are placed at the fringe of the menu so that other items look cheaper in comparison.Thus this strategy works well with potential customers- by placing premium products near standard products which creates a clear sense of value and this way the customers will think that the less expensive item is bargain against more expensive.
Pain points should be reduced
Neuro-economics says that human brain is wired to spend till it hurts. So thus the sales process should be strategized in such a way that the pain points can be reduced during purchase and this increases the post purchase satisfaction and thus increase sales.
Prices should never be compared without a reason
Comparing prices can cause unplanned effects in consumer evaluation if there is no reason why the prices are being compared. This results in lost of trust of consumers on marketing message.
Similar prices can cost you sales
The solution to this problem is two identical items should not have similar prices; instead they should be priced differently so that customers feel they are different from one another.
Weber's law- it's secrets
Weber's law states that noticeable difference between two stimuli is directly proportional to the magnitude of the stimuli. This law is applied to marketing and more emphasized to price increases of products and services.
An old classic method should be tried
Price ending with 9 is a classic method used in marketing to increase sales. This method is so effective that companies were able to outsell lower prices with exact same product.
Prices should be coded simply
The unpunctuated version goes well with customers as it is easy to be read and does not leave an impact on customers that it is very expensive. For example:1,399.00
The top two prices seemed to be much higher to customers than the bottom one.
Power of context should be utilized
Potential customers should be given small signals to justify premium prices rather than assuming that the customers are influenced by the evaluation of price of a product.
Time spend vs. saved should be given emphasis
Consumers have more fond memories for the time spent with the product rather than the money they saved. Sometimes reasonable prices are a terrible benefit to a company.
Different levels of pricing should be tested
More options should be provided to customers because many times customers want the most expensive item so adding a super premium price would make them choose that options and it also helps in making other prices look better.

Every year here in Cyrsti's Condo, I try to remember my Dad on Father's Day. If you recall, he was a solid member of the "greatest generation" having lived through the Great Depression and World War II.
He never was one for emotion that my brother and I could see and rarely was too vocal in his feelings, but at the same time left no doubt how he felt.
As with my Mom, my feelings for him have mellowed over the years, as he was a great provider and dealt the best he could with the generational cards dealt to him. As it stood, his Dad passed away at a relatively old age in 1949 before I was born. So you can understand a little more where he was coming from.
He built his own house and pretty much was the stereotypical "self made man" which I guess is a fitting reference to me being a "self made woman."
Dad never had an inkling I think that I was transgender and many times I do wonder how he would have adjusted to it. Because, many times under a rough exterior. he was a complex man, simply a product of his times.
He was a weather man in the Army/Air force in WWII, but pursued a living as a banker after he was discharged.
Surprisingly enough, "Mr. Conservative" bought one of the first stereo's we could hear a train running from one speaker to another, and made sure we had a color television for the early broadcasts of Bonanza.
On the other hand, we went fishing in Canada the same place every year for more than a decade...for his vacation.
So Dad, more than you will ever know, I inherited your complexities coupled with Mom's spirit.
Thank you! Your daughter Jessie.

I have never considered myself the reading kind, but growing up I found myself gravitating towards anything that would help me not only understand myself but the ones around me and what is life all about. With time, I learned that right and wrong are perspectives and emotions are like the weather, they come and go.
I have always been very determined in reaching something that would fulfill me, looking for progress and change. And although I don't know what that is for sure, the next step seems to be always more obvious. Because I believe that at the end I'll always be fine, I develop the courage to trust that instinct.
I think that what stops us the most in life is a lack of good information, lack of drive and lack of courage.
So if you don't have enough information start a research. If you don't have the drive look for motivation. And if you don't have the courage, push yourself from the tip of the cliff and fall as many times as you need, as you have never fell before. Because it is in the falling off the cliff that your chance to fly prevails.

Yesterday, after I got home from work I asked my wife clean all the old, disgusting, moldy stuff out of our refridgerator.
Needless to say when I opened the door to look inside I was amazed. It was completely empty. Not a thing inside.
Makes me wonder what's in the one in our garage and has it developed language abilities yet.

Matthew 5.13-16
May the words of my mouth and the meditations of all of our hearts be acceptable to you O Lord, our strength and our redeemer
I want to talk to you, as Jesus did in today's reading from Matthew, about salt. Salt allows us to do many amazing things – things that we now take for granted but which, without salt, would be impossible. Disinfectants and antiseptics, detergents, medicines, clothes, cars, pipes, houses, foods all rely on salt or products that we make from salt as we've seen from the slideshow earlier. Man has known about the power of salt since ancient times but in the last 200 years, our ingenuity has allowed us to harness that power in so many different ways.
Now let's do a bit of chemistry – humour me, I have to plug the industry when I can. We all know that salt is made from two basic elements, sodium and chlorine and in 1807, Sir Humphrey Davy managed to isolate and identify chlorine as a basic chemical element for the first time. Throughout the 19th century, more and more discoveries showed how vital an element chlorine was to life on earth. In 1892, an American chemist called Hamilton Castner invented a new process to make chlorine by passing electricity through salty water or brine and at the same time, an Austrian chemist called Karl Kellner made the same discovery.
Rather than waste their money employing legions of lawyers to argue about who was first, they got together and founded a company which they called the Castner Kellner Alkali Company and proceeded to build plants all around Europe, including the one that you may have noticed if you drive along the Runcorn Expressway, down beside the Mersey.
But I don't want to stand up here this morning and bore you with a lecture on the history of the UK chemical industry, I want to go back and think again about that basic starting point for all that development – I want to go back to salt and to our reading today from Matthew. This short reading comes from the central part of the Sermon on the Mount, quite early in Jesus' ministry. Jesus is preaching to the great crowd gathered before him and the section that we are interested in comes immediately after the Beatitudes.
Let me remind you of how it starts
You are the salt of the earth, but if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.
The imagery in this little reading is so powerful and so basic that it echoes down through 2000 years and is as real to us today as it was to those crowds sitting on rocks on the mountainside in Palestine. We all understand about salt. We all know that salt changes the flavour of our food. We all know that a little salt can lift food from being bland and tasteless to being full of flavour. We all know that too much salt can spoil our food and make it inedible and we all know that without salt in our diets we die. We all know these things today and those people in that crowd listening to Jesus knew them just the same.
This little reading has been used as the basis of some very powerful preaching through the ages and I wanted to share a couple of examples of how this amazing imagery of Jesus has stirred people to action and changed their lives.
My first example goes back to 1936 and a sermon preached in Germany in the run up to the war. It was at a time of huge turmoil in Europe and particularly in Germany where Hitler and the National Socialists had risen to power and the sermon was preached by the famous German pastor Martin Niemoller. The Nazis had managed to influence the official church in Germany to go along with its appalling doctrines in spite of the obviously anti-Christian nature of those doctrines.
Neimoller was a leader of the Confessing Church founded by Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Karl Bath which opposed those anti-Christian doctrines of the Nazi regime. Niemoller had watched many of his fellow pastors imprisoned for speaking out and not long after giving this sermon he was himself arrested and imprisoned in Sachsenhausen and Dachau for 9 years.
The regime were desperate for these rebel preachers to toe the line and to adapt their beliefs to fit with the majority and Niemoller used this line from Matthew's gospel to underline to his congregation why it was so vital that they did not allow their beliefs to be diluted in this way.
As he put it, if our faith loses it's unique flavour, its saltiness, then it will have no impact when it is cast into the great 'stew' of the world. We have to hold to the word of God and protect its unique flavour. If it loses that unique flavour then it is worthless. Our duty as Christians is to ensure that our church and our lives reflect the life of Christ and not the life of the world.
These were brave men indeed to stand up to a brutal and oppressive regime because they heard the voice of God. Many, like Neimoller, spent years in prison. Some, like Bonhoeffer never made it out of prison and died for their beliefs at the hands of the brutal regime.
We may not have the troubles that Niemoller and his congregation had in 1936, where the state was trying to impose its will on the church but we have our own pressures in 2014 that threaten to reduce the saltiness of our beliefs. We live in a secular age where our beliefs are considered odd and out of step with the society around us. It would be all too easy to conform to this pressure, to reduce our saltiness and blandly reflect the world around us.
How convenient if we just stuck to looking after our beautiful church buildings to provide a suitably historical backdrop to the community. How convenient if we just provided a picturesque venue for hatches matches and despatches. And how bland.
So that was in 1936, when Neimoller used our reading to inspire the members of the confessing church. Now let's fast forward 23 years to 1959 and another great preacher in a time of trouble and turmoil and this sermon was preached in the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery Alabama by Martin Luther King.
Now the surprising thing about this sermon was that Dr King took as his inspiration that day a man who was not a Christian at all but a Hindu, Mohandas K Ghandi, better known to us all as Mahatma Ghandi.
In the words of Martin Luther King, "It is one of the strange ironies of the modern world that the greatest Christian of the twentieth century was not a member of the Christian church".
Why is this relevant for us today? Well because Dr King takes as his example of Ghandi's leadership the famous Salt March of 1930. Ghandi was determined to free India from British Colonial rule but he was equally determined to avoid violence as the means to achieve that end. Now one of the most iniquitous laws that impacted on every person in India at that time was the salt tax.
All Indians were obliged to pay a tax on salt and, to reinforce the tax, the government had the exclusive right to manufacture this precious commodity. It was illegal for anyone but the government to make salt, whether through digging it out of the ground or by boiling away seawater. All such activity was criminal and would be punished. As we have seen, salt is such an essential ingredient in life that there was not a single person who was not impacted by this tax and so it was a very powerful tool for Ghandi to use to mobilize the population against the government.
Ghandi made it widely known that he intended to march the 240 miles from his Ashram at Sabarmati to the coast at Dandi and that once he reached the sea, he intended to boil some seawater and break the law by making salt. Before setting out, Ghandi wrote to the Viceroy of India explaining his intent and despite a response from the Viceroy warning him of the consequences of breaking the law, he set out with about 70 followers. Over the course of the march, the numbers continued to grow and Ghandi and his followers finally broke the law for the first time at Dandi on April 6th.
Over the next month, Ghandi continued to make his way along the coast, making salt and preaching to the crowds and the civil disobedience escalated. About a month later, the authorities had had enough and Ghandi was arrested and put in jail.
All told, some 80,000 people were jailed for illegally making salt but, of course, the genie was out of the bottle. People had seen the power of non violent civil disobedience and the inexorable drive towards Indian independence had begun – all because of a few grains of salt.
This is what so inspired Martin Luther King. Here was an example of someone standing up to injustice but doing so in a way that was entirely consistent with a Christian path in life. Ghandi so inspired King, that his example drove King's plan for the non violent civil rights movement in the United States in the late 1950's and early 1960's.
Ghandi, like King was of course finally the victim of violence himself – both men dying from an assassin's bullet and let me read from the almost prophetic words in Dr King's sermon on the subject of Ghandi's death.
"And the final thing that I would like to say to you this morning is that the world doesn't like people like Ghandi. That's strange isn't it? They don't like people like Christ. They don't like people like Abraham Lincoln. They kill them. And this man, who had done all of that for India, this man who had given his life and who had mobilized and galvanized 400 million people for independence so that in 1947 India received its independence and he became father of that nation. This same man, because he had decided that he would not rest until he saw the Muslims and the Hindus together. And one of his fellow Hindus felt that he was a little too favourable towards the Muslims and shot him. And here was a man of non violence, falling at the hand of a man of violence. Here was a man of love falling at the hands of a man of hate. This seems the way of history"
And Dr King closed by quoting the words of the poet John Oxenham who was actually from Manchester…
"To every man there openeth a way, and ways and a way
The high soul climbs the high way, and the low soul gropes the low.
And in between on the misty flats, the rest drift to and fro.
But to every man - to every nation, to every civilization – there openeth a high and a low way.
Every soul decideth which way it shall go."
And God grant that we shall choose the high way, even if it will mean assassination, even if it will mean crucifixion, for by going this way we will discover that death would be only the beginning of our influence. And so it proved for Martin Luther King himself on the 4th of April 1968 when hate once again killed love with the assassins' bullet.
So let's take inspiration from people who are willing to stand up for their beliefs. From Ghandi and Martin Luther King to the brave Germans of the Confessing Church and their leaders like Neimoller and Bonhoeffer who were imprisoned and murdered to preserve the saltiness of our faith. These people lived Christ's word in the Sermon on the Mount. They truly were the salt of the earth and everything tasted different because of them.
They could have taken the easier choices and been a bit less salty – a bit more bland but no one remembers bland. They were salt that never lost its saltiness and so they made a difference to the world in which they lived. At any time, they could have given up but, as Jesus tells us, when that happens there is no way back. Salt that has lost its saltiness can never be made salty again – its good for nothing so let's do our own, much easier, bit to keep our faith full of salt. The world should taste differently because of this Christian community. If it doesn't then the fault is ours.

Okay, okay, I admit it. I am totally hooked on kids in costumes. They're like eye candy, a sweet addiction for a first-time-mother. Yummy! They're so sweet and charming especially when I know them. The dainty wings, long tails, bright colors, spooky masks bring out the Mommy in me. Little Lady Bug Baby R is another cutie. Add her to my stockpile of lobsters, bunnies, and airplanes.

We now have the hens in the field with their mobile hen house, they have settled down to the new location and get on with the sheep well, the first couple of night when we went to check on everyone we found some of the hens had roosted on the backs of some of the sheep. The sheep didn't look bothered by it and the hens would be nice and warm, unfortunately neither of us had our phones with us so we didn't get any pics, we scooped them up and put them back in their hen houses and now they all find there way back at night.
My last pic is of may SAD Sam , yesterday was annual injection day at the vets and Sam had a wart on his leg and he kept chewing it so I asked the vet to take a look and he sad he could take it of with a local injection so Sam has no wart but stitches and he is not going to chew them.

(UPDATED) Could Ron Paul and Gary Johnson Be In Talks, Regarding Combining Forces For A Libertarian Ticket Presidential Run?
4pm UPDATE: Apparently Ron Paul will be on NBC's "Tonight Show with Jay Leno", where he is expected to "make a big announcement". Hmm…
Intriguing tweet from Johnson yesterday:
"I think [Gary Johnson is] wonderful and I think he's doing a good job and people should look at him" —
@ronpaul ow.ly/doOeF
— Gov. Gary Johnson (@GovGaryJohnson) September 1, 2012
Hmm. This bears watching, especially as Johnson is on most of the states' tickets, but not all.
Some see him as a very viable candidate in his own right; it would be interesting to see what would happen, were he and Paul to join forces.
Certainly SOMETHING is going on; Johnson's Twitter account is going nuts retweeting right now. Again, hmm…..

Lawyers for Microsoft and the government will attend a hearing Friday before U.S. District Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson to discuss scheduling for the two antitrust suits filed against the software giant.
The hearing in Washington marks the beginning of a long and arduous legal process to argue the historic lawsuits. The government accuses Microsoft of monopolistic business practices, while the software giant denies any wrongdoing.
On Wall Street, Microsoft stock held steady yesterday, but analysts cautioned that the software giant's looming protracted legal battle with the Justice Department is likely to have a negative "psychological" effect on the shares.
Microsoft stock gained 6 cents by 11:30 a.m. PT yesterday, up from Monday's close of 86.06.
While the stock lost nearly four points Monday after state and federal antitrust regulators filed lawsuits against the software giant, the shares have been retreating during the past month amid speculation that yesterday's antitrust lawsuits were imminent. The stock recently has traded as high as 99.13.
Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette yesterday initiated coverage on Microsoft with a "buy" rating. The firm also started coverage on rival browser software maker Netscape Communications, with a "market perform" rating.
Netscape stock has gained more than 70 percent since early April, climbing to as high as 28.88 during trading yesterday. It traded down around $16 a share early last month.
While the current legal situation should not have any effect on Microsoft's revenue or earnings estimates, it "does create a cloud of legal complexity which will continue to affect the stock price over the next few months," Mary McCaffrey, an analyst at BT Alex. Brown, said in a note to investors.
"Each piece of legal news or rumor will be analyzed in depth for potential effect on the fundamentals of the business," she added.
Other analysts agreed.
The current litigation by the DOJ, the states attorneys general, and Sun Microsystems is "likely to have a negative psychological impact on Microsoft?s shares," Furman Selz analyst Sanjiv Hingorani, said in a research report.
The increased litigation Microsoft faces, its decelerating earnings expectations, and the absence of any new major product cycle at the company for at least the next 6 months are likely to shrink its price to earnings (P/E) multiple, Hingorani said, noting that Furman Selz maintained its "hold" rating on the stock.
Microsoft shares are trading at P/E multiples of 48.9 times fiscal 1998 earnings, and 42 times fiscal 1999 earnings estimates of $1.76 and $2.05, respectively.
Despite the downturn, McCaffrey pointed to strong fundamental drivers in Microsoft's business. She noted that there is still a good demand outlook based on low PC hardware prices and possibly lower server hardware prices, and said she expects a major product cycle to emerge within six to nine months, which should deliver some upside for the Redmond, Washington, company.
Hingorani predicted that Microsoft?s earnings per share will grow 33.3 percent in fiscal 1998, and 16.5 percent in fiscal 1999.

Scientists Create Artificial Retina Implant That Could Restore Vision
Scientists have recently designed and developed an artificial retina and with the use of this artificial retina, the lost vision of rats can be restored. Scientists are expecting that in one year time they will be able to develop such artificial retina which will be helpful in order to restore vision in human eyes.
The retina implant which is designed has the capability of converting any light into an electrical energy which can easily stimulate the retinal neurons. Therefore, if this implant is properly designed then it can easily light the eyes of the people who have faced a breakdown in the photoreceptor cells.
The retina which is consists of millions of photoreceptor cells is placed right behind the eye. The breakdown of photoreceptor cells can occur due to the mutation of 240 identified genes. Previously scientists used to treat the retina of the eyes. But now the concept have changed and now they are looking to cure the blindness problem with the help of CRISPR genes.
A team which is formed by Italian Institute of Technology is looking for a new approach. The team is thinking that an implanted Prosthesis can do the job. Scientists believe that this implanted Prosthesis can be an ideal replacement for a damaged retina.
The developers have confirmed that they are looking to build the prosthesis implant with the help of a silk-based substrate. At the same time, the implants will be covered by a semiconducting polymer.
According to the Royal College of Surgeons, the semiconducting polymers can work as a photovoltaic material. At the same time, it will be very efficient in order to absorb photons. The researcher has tested this concept in a rat's eye and so far it is looking really good.
It is expected that the trials on humans may start in the mid of 2018. If the trials on humans is a success then it can be a revolutionary discovery in the medical science.

History of Art study trip
Each year, BA, Graduate Certificate and MA students in the History of Art department are offered the chance to take part in the departmental study trip. These trips are not obligatory, but students find them very enjoyable, and extremely valuable to their learning. They provide much needed time for first-hand experience of works of art, and informal discussion with other students from across the department.
The trips are offered in the Easter vacation, and are to cities that have a high concentration of relevant works of art. The trips focus alternately on the Modern and Renaissance periods, and span five days. They usually commence in the afternoon of the first day, and end on the morning of the last, with three full days in between.
Cities visited in the last few years include: Florence, Paris, Venice, Vienna, Rome, Berlin and Moscow.
The department does not charge a fee for attending the trip. As students' circumstances vary enormously, we do not arrange travel or accommodation, and students are responsible for making their own arrangements as best suits them, paying their own hotel bills, fares, subsistence costs, gallery fees etc. However, a detailed schedule of visits to sites of interest within the city is circulated beforehand, and our enthusiastic, knowledgeable lecturers meet the students each morning and guide them throughout the day. Please note that there are limited places available, and we cannot guarantee a place on the trip to all students.
The Murray Bequest offers a limited number of bursaries every year to students who would otherwise be unable to attend. Details on how to apply are circulated to students when information on the trip is released - usually in December or January.

Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along. 3 John 1:2
I had a slightly heated conversation a couple of days ago with an old friend of mine. We've been in each others' lives for a long, long time. We have laughed together and experienced unbelievable joy. We have cried in each others' arms and walked in the darkest deepest pits of despair together. We have been afraid, we have been surprised and there were times in our lives we could never imagine being separated from one another, ever. My BFF.
Our conversation was awkward this time and when it concluded I sat for a long, long time in the quiet, alone with my bible and my thoughts. Ok, with a tiny tear in my heart too because I was keenly aware of some differences between us now. I'm not sure when or how they got there. I longed for the day in our past when we were of one mind, of one heart.
We once complimented each other so well! Outsiders admired our frankness and honesty, our need for one another, our dependence and enhancement of the others' talents. We were kinda like hand in glove. Do you have a relationship like that? Today, my friend and I seemed more like, uh…well, Sauerkraut and Chocolate!
Don't get me wrong, I love both. I have an apple pork recipe that can make a pork loin so amazingly tender and good that I cannot imagine serving it without sauerkraut! It would be ok yet incomplete, unfinished, with something definitely missing. They just compliment each other so well don't you think?
And there is chocolate. Oh, the difference it makes on a huge chilled bowl of vanilla bean ice cream with salted peanuts! The ice cream and the nuts are good on their own and even together, but the topping, the reason for the bowl, in my opinion, is the chocolate! But what happens if I took that same chilled bowl, filled it to the brim with that apple cider sauerkraut, and then trickled even the best ever made chocolate syrup over the top? YUCK!
You see, when I asked God to take over my life after a series of tragedies and pain-filled missteps, I meant it. I really did. I want to feel and hear and live in Him everyday of my life now. I want to learn, to sing, to dance, and to bless others. Today, I realized that sometimes, when we try so hard within us to reach back into the very life we were rescued out of, it's kind of like mixing sauerkraut with our chocolate. It doesn't seem right, it looks gross and I have no doubt the taste would be indescribably awful!
I am not making any judgments here about my friend. Not at all! I know enough about my Father to know that I am no judge of what He forgives others for, as my own need for His forgiveness is so great. I also know that His mercy and grace are sufficient, more than I need, when I choose to walk in them. I realized today though that sometimes in this life of mine that I am chocolate and others are sauerkraut. Both having their own attributes, they are not meant to be together in the same bowl. I'd rather not try to choke down this mixture that looks bad, smells strange, and is in no way appetizing. And I don't want to try to fit mismatched relationships into my life anymore either. It's just that simple. And you know what? God doesn't require that I do!
How wonderfully freeing to know I can be me, my friend can be who she is and neither of us has to worry over the "fitting in" part. He'll let us know where our respective places are in this life and whom to share our journeys with as we walk the paths ahead of us.
I will always be grateful for my good memories from this friendship and His healing in me of a few bad ones. I hope I become more like Him as a result of all this emotion, which will, in turn, make me an even better friend and hopefully even to her. See how that works?
So today, I think I will let God do the 'cooking' in my life and trust He knows which complements go best with the main courses of this particular season. Maybe I'll cook up an apple cider pork roast with sauerkraut for supper soon, and then I'll dig into a huge bowl of ice cream with salted nuts and chocolate syrup, and heavy on the chocolate please!
And I think I'll pick up a gift card for my friend as well..for the ice cream store right down the road…because let's face it…we could ALL use some friendly, yummy chocolate from time to time!
