Types of Disability Under Mississippi Personal Injury Law
When you're in an accident, you may sustain a wide range of injuries that impact your life in different ways. You will most definitely experience some level of disability from an extremely severe injury, but even a broken bone in your hand may put you out of action for a certain period of time. In the aftermath of your accident, your injuries may prevent you from working, going to school, and enjoying your regular routine and lifestyle. While the circumstances are unfortunate, you do have rights to recover compensation for your disabilities against the person whose negligence caused your injuries. You should discuss the specifics of your situation with an experienced personal injury attorney, but it's also useful to review the three types of disability under Mississippi law.
Temporary Disability
The most common form of disability is temporary in nature, and usually involves minor injuries. It's likely that you're only impaired for a few days or weeks, during which time you're able to heal completely. Common injuries that result in temporary disability include soft tissue trauma like whiplash, as well as broken bones, bruises, and strained muscles.
Partial Disability
When you're not completely prevented from your regular activities, but your life and routine do suffer, you may experience a partial disability. You may be prevented from working for a longer period of time as compared to a temporary disability, especially if your job involves any level of physical exertion. However, your disability may drop down to temporary if your injuries don't have a significant impact on your job. For instance, a warehouse worker would suffer partial disability for a broken leg; an administrative worker would only be temporarily disabled because the broken leg doesn't impact most office-related tasks.
Permanent Disability
The most severe types of injuries may completely incapacitate the victim, resulting in permanent disability. A person who suffers head trauma, spinal cord injuries, or an amputation falls into this category because there can be a complete inability to work.
Note that you should act quickly regardless of which type of disability you experience in the immediate aftermath of an accident. The Mississippi statute of limitations prohibits you from filing a lawsuit more than three years after the incident, so you may lose your right to compensation if you delay.
Consult with a Biloxi, MS Lawyer About Disabilities After an Accident
Any level of disability affects your life, but there will be implications for your loved ones as well. If you're unable to work, you cannot financially contribute to your family and household. Your lost wages are especially serious at a time when your medical bills are piling up. Plus, you may require specialized care in the short or long term. With the help of a knowledgeable attorney, you can recover compensation for the different types of disability and reduce some of the burden. A personal injury lawyer can also assist you in recovering for medical bills, pain and suffering, and other losses. For more information on disability claims after an accident, please contact the Law Offices of Judy Guice in Biloxi, MS. Our lawyers can answer your questions or tell you more about your options at a free case assessment.

The Demise Of The Queenslander
Right after college, I moved to New York and ended up with a job in fragrance development for Calvin Klein Cosmetics working in none aside from the Trump Tower. The first time was when the house was financial institution-owned in 2012 and being proven for an open home. They swoop quite close around the home although they do not dwell wherever near us after which immediately we sat in a chicken shop about to eat hen and salad for lunch and one flew contained in the Restaurant. Shortly after we bought this property, we planted rows of bushes and bushes to behave as a windbreak on two of our boundary fences, pondering it would solely be necessary to bucket water them for a short time before the rainy season arrived and nature took care of them. A easy drum and guitar model with notes and TAB for The House of the Rising Sun Use this with the chords in the image to do your personal cover model of House of the Rising Sun. Where I currently reside is quite windy, but we do not have trees dropping leaves near the home.
This usually led him into conflict with former boss, hospital administrator and Dean of Medicine Dr Lisa Cuddy(Lisa Edelstein), who left the show at the finish of last season after an on-off romance with House. Whenever we had been assured there was more rain on the way in which, we transferred water from our home tank. When I was researching this hub, my daughter and I oohed and aahed over some fabulous homes within the North of England which would cost no more than the price of our three-mattress terraced house right here within the South. Another effectively introduced DIY on making a Bluebird home, the birds of the world thank you for instructing others the best way to make a home a house for them! The cool space framed with decorative balustrades and white posts, was an essential options of the tropical house linking the indoors and the outdoors. We are proud at Hope House to assist in any approach we are able to and need we might help more!
I even had one istance where I sold a Property myself, because the Agent couldn't finalise (shut) the Sale. My mother has an older house (we just store our junk there) & about three-5 years ago she had a steel roof placed on by the Amish for $2500. We're delighted with the benefit of use the house supplies and the fact that this and pretty much all different aspects of the design are working very well. My new bee house is mounted on the south-dealing with wall of our garden shed and is able to host the subsequent technology of mason bees. Nene divorced her husband, real property investor Gregg Leakes, but if season five is any indicator there could also be a reconciliation within the works.
The Olsen's mom nearly made them stop after the primary season as a result of she wanted them to have a standard childhood. It is forty five X 80 X 17. We originally deliberate to construct a home at a later date, however have not too long ago determined to only tear out what we now have accomplished and re-do it and are in search of design ideas. The houses known as the Painted Ladies are seen in the opening credits of Full House.
Urge the federal government to take comparable duty for all wind injury, solar injury, fireplace damage etc in the event that they deem themselves the 'owners' of what you all the time thought of to be the responsibility of nature. Great design for a bat home, and your instructions and images inform clearly what to do. We have a pair trees in our yard that might make good places to secure a bat home. The Fifth House is a house of power, as it rules amorous affairs and the joy of life that continues on by means of the kids which will come from our love affairs. Writers Doris Egan , Sara Hess , Russel Friend, and Garrett Lerner joined the crew at first of season two. These and the opposite planting additionally serve to visually soften the transition between the backyard and home. The different eight home cusps divide the four quadrants to make twelve houses of thirty levels each in whole.

* Portugal to sell insurance arm of bank Caixa Geral de Depositos
* Fosun to pay $1.36 billion for Caixa Seguros e Saude
* Fosun's shares climb 4.7 percent
LISBON/BEIJING, Jan 10 (Reuters) - Portugal has chosen Fosun International Ltd to buy the insurance arm of state bank Caixa Geral de Depositos SA for 1 billion euros ($1.36 billion), allowing the government to further exceed its privatisation revenue goal.
Portugal had to conduct a series of privatisations as a condition to receiving financial aid from the European Union and International Monetary Fund. The latest sale takes privatisation revenue to 47 percent above target.
Cabinet Minister Luis Marques Guedes on Thursday said the government had chosen Fosun over a unit of U.S. investment fund Apollo Global Management LLC, the other remaining bidder, to buy 80 percent of Caixa Seguros e Saude, SGPS, SA, the country's largest insurance group.
Shares of Fosun subsequently rose 4.69 percent in Hong Kong midday trading compared with a 0.4 percent rise in the benchmark index.
Fosun said it will complete within 30 days a sales and purchase agreement for the insurer, which has a domestic market share of 26 percent.
For Fosun, which is bidding to acquire French resort company Club Mediterranee SA and last year forked out $725 million for One Chase Manhattan Plaza in New York, the purchase represents its latest move toward building an insurance-oriented investment conglomerate.
The Portugal acquisition "marks a solid step for Fosun to develop Warren Buffet's model," Fosun Chairman Guo Guangchang said in a statement.
Fosun holds stakes in Yongan Property Insurance Co., Peak Reinsurance Co. and Pramerica Fosun Life Insurance Co., a joint venture between Fosun and Prudential Financial Inc..
This sale should help Caixa Geral de Depositos repay 1.65 billion euros ($2.24 billion) in government funding received in mid-2012.
The government had a target of mid-2014 to earn money through privatisation to pay back its own bailout funds. State Finance Secretary Manuel Rodrigues said the new sale brings privatisation revenue to 8.1 billion euros, or 47 percent above its goal.
The government is widely expected to privatise flag carrier airline TAP, the cargo unit of the national railway company Comboios de Portugal and parts of water utility Aguas de Portugal, after already selling stakes in two energy firms, the airport concession ANA and postal service CTT.

If we want to document how to deal with Z-modules in PARI, probably we should add a dedicated section on this topic instead of adding bits of information in unrelated functions help messages.

SS HB 384, 2015 (New Section - Proposed Language)
32.383. 1. Notwithstanding the provisions of any other law to the contrary, with respect to taxes administered by the department of revenue under this chapter and chapters 143, 144, and 147, an amnesty from the assessment or payment of all penalties, additions to tax, and interest shall apply with respect to unpaid taxes or taxes due and owing reported and paid in full from September 1, 2015, to November 30, 2015, regardless of whether previously assessed, except for penalties, additions to tax, and interest paid before September 1, 2015.

2. Upon written application by the taxpayer, on forms prescribed by the director of revenue, and upon compliance with the provisions of this section, the department of revenue shall not seek to collect any penalty, addition to tax, or interest that may be applicable. The department of revenue shall not seek civil or criminal prosecution for any taxpayer for the taxable period for which the amnesty has been granted unless subsequent investigation or audit shows that the taxpayer engaged in fraudulent or criminal conduct in applying for amnesty.
3. Amnesty shall be granted only to those taxpayers who have applied for amnesty within the period stated in this section, who have filed a tax return for each taxable period for which amnesty is requested, who have paid the entire balance by November 30, 2015, and who agree to comply with state tax laws for the next eight years from the date of the agreement. No taxpayer shall be entitled to a waiver of any penalty, addition to tax, or interest under this section unless full payment of the tax due is made in accordance with rules established by the director of revenue.
4. All taxpayers granted amnesty under this section shall in good faith comply with this state's tax laws for the eight years following the date of the amnesty agreement. If any such taxpayer fails to comply with all of this state's tax laws at any time during the eight years following the date of the agreement, all penalties, additions to tax, and interest that were waived under the amnesty agreement shall become due and owing immediately.
5. If a taxpayer is granted amnesty under this section, such taxpayer shall not be eligible to participate in any future amnesty for the same type of tax.
6. If a taxpayer elects to participate in the amnesty program established in this section as evidenced by full payment of the tax due as established by the director of revenue, that election shall constitute an express and absolute relinquishment of all administrative and judicial rights of appeal. No tax payment received under this section shall be eligible for refund or credit.
7. Nothing in this section shall be interpreted to disallow the department of revenue to adjust a taxpayer's tax return as a result of any state or federal audit.

11. The department may promulgate rules or issue administrative guidelines as are necessary to implement the provisions of this section. Any rule or portion of a rule, as that term is defined in section 536.010, that is created under the authority delegated in this section shall become effective only if it complies with and is subject to all of the provisions of chapter 536 and, if applicable, section 536.028.

The art is amazing, and the story is a clever surprise. It's so pretty, and it would make a fabulous and challenging colouring book. I don't believe that thought has ever occurred to me before.
Library copy
So I pulled up the book by the ISBN, but the picture didn't come with, and since my review is mostly "cool art" it seemed like adding the cover image was a good and helpful thing, right? But it's been too long since I last did this and/or I'm tired and stupid, because instead of uploading the cover image, I uploaded a picture of one of my cats. Sorry everyone. And thanks to the librarian who will fix this, in advance.

Woth the trouble to obtain a better print
Phil Muse | Stone Mountain, GA | 04/28/2009
(4 out of 5 stars)
"I really ordered this title in order to acquire a better print of "Shoot to Kill" than I had previously enoyed on Alpha Video, and I was not disappointed. Picture quality and sound were noticeably improved in the VCI version. The movie itself poses an intriguing question in the very opening scene: What were the district attorney, his wife, and a sought-after felon all doing in the same car wreck in which all were killed? The plot keeps you guessing about the answer until the very end. It packed a lot of entertainment into a little over an hour's running time."

However, reaching a point of stability would not have proved possible without one unlikely feature. After a breakdown, triggered by the post traumatic stress of a very unhealthy sibling relationship, after retreating to her mother's house, Barton decided to get a dog. Caring for a creature that loved her unconditionally, that depended on her for all his care, was the catalyst that allowed Barton to rejoin the world. My dog saved me from suicide – how a puppy stopped a depressed woman from ending her life

By far the most terrifying thing about encountering evil in real life is how innocuous it appears. Hannah Arendt may have gone a bit too far in her theory of the banality of evil, but there is no doubt that the phenomenon is quite real, and all the more terrifying for it. Put simply, once one has looked evil in the eye once or twice, the most striking aspect of it is how ordinary it is. Monsters quite rarely appear to be so, and monstrous things often seem terrifyingly meaningless and empty when witnessed first hand. Perhaps this is simply a defense mechanism, a way for our perceptions to minimize the potential emotional damage of horror, but whatever its origins, it remains a chilling and undeniable paradox.
This video of an appearance by conservative activist and ex-leftist David Horowitz at USC San Diego brought this home to me, thankfully at second hand. Challenged by a member of the Muslim Students Association, the following exchange ensues
Horowitz: Okay, I'll put it to you this way. I am a Jew. The head of Hizbollah has said that he hopes that we will gather in Israel so he doesn't have to hunt us down globally. For or against it?
MSA member: For it.
Perhaps others will see it differently, but for me there is a quiet terror in watching this moment. Perhaps it is the calm politeness, the terrible ordinariness, with which the student expresses her sentiments; as though she were voting "aye" on a question of raising municipal property taxes or repealing a law requiring dog leashes. Perhaps it is the despairing knowledge that the apologetics and excuses will be short in coming, and hundreds of the credentialed, intelligent, and liberal will shortly be explaining to us that she didn't actually mean what she said or, if she did, it is nonetheless an understandable and relatively innocuous thing to say. Perhaps it is the realization that saying this sort of thing about essentially any other group of people would arouse a storm of institutional protest and censure which most certainly will not ensue in this case. And, of course, there is the undeniable fact that many will shortly be blaming Horowitz for the whole thing.

Another one bites the dust… This is unfortunate lyric to accompany this Ferrari Enzo's off-road experience. After loosing control both car and driver demolished a small fence and dropped into a lake. The car had to be fished out in a rather sorry state. We all know that Italian V12's aren't so keen when it comes to bath time. The driver hopes to have the Enzo repaired and competing some time soon.

Can the US really nuke North Korea without starting a world war?
US defence officials are starting to signal a willingness to use nuclear weapons against North Korea on a limited scale. Unsurprisingly, that's a bad idea
The test by North Korea this week of its biggest nuclear device yet has rattled more than the world's seismographs. It now seems a paranoid dictator with an appalling human rights record owns the ultimate weapon.
It is particularly concerning given that the explosion, 10 times the size of the country's previous test, may well have been the nation's first two-stage hydrogen bomb. Such a design can pulverise a city, and is easier, per kiloton, to fit onto a missile.
Faced with this, some are suggesting that …

Ninety-Four Percent Of The World's Population Now Has Access To Dash After Integration With Uphold
Partnership Allows People in 184 Countries to Buy Dash, Convert it, and Seamlessly Execute P2P Remittances
Dec 05, 2017, 08:00 ET
NEW YORK, Dec. 5, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Dash, the top digital currency for payments, has been integrated into one of the fastest growing cryptocurrency platforms, Uphold, which enables 94 percent of the global population to buy and hold Dash online or on their mobile device, and send it anywhere in the world. Customers of the US-based digital money platform can now buy Dash directly via bank transfer in the U.S. and SEPA in the E.U., by converting any number of 30+ supported fiat and cryptocurrencies, as well as sending to anyone with an active email address. Funding Uphold accounts using major credit cards will also be possible in the days following this integration.
CEO of Dash Core, Ryan Taylor said, "Uphold adds to the Dash ecosystem the fastest and easiest method yet for everyday consumers to acquire Dash. Dash already has many of the world's largest digital currency exchanges integrated, but exchanges are generally intimidating for average users unaccustomed to trading. Uphold makes transactions much simpler than an exchange, and it supports users from most geographies. All of this means that another great option is available to consumers around the world at unmatched speed and remarkably low cost."
Colin Luce SVP and Head of Global Business Development said, "We were eager to add Dash primarily due to the increased adoption and of real-world use cases. The organizational structure of Dash, with masternodes and proposals and the Core Group, is a recipe for long-term success, especially at a time where the vast majority of the top one-hundred blockchains and currencies are still primarily speculative."
Luce continued, "Uphold provides a safe, simple and inexpensive way for consumers to move money across currencies and borders, without the delays and fees associated with legacy financial systems. Our customers are able to move out of unstable currencies, like the Venezuelan Bolivar (VEF) or Zimbabwean Dollar (ZWL), and transfer that value to more stable currencies, like USD. They can also access their funds anytime and are not exposed to market volatility and devaluation by holding USD instead of their native currency."
Uphold has facilitated over $2 billion USD in transactions since its inception in 2015. Uphold also enables conversion to silver, gold, platinum, and palladium, and runs an advanced API that can leverage Dash's upcoming decentralized payments system, Evolution.
Taylor said, "The Uphold platform is growing quickly because of its ease of use for both consumers and app developers that build services on its platform. In addition, consumers are increasingly aware that other digital currencies besides Bitcoin exist that offer the market unique features and functionality, like instant payments at the point of sale and online. Developers frequently cite Uphold's robust programming interfaces, which is why so many applications are built on the Uphold platform. It is my belief that they offer the best solution to developers in the industry."
Uphold will soon enable Dash's instant transactions feature (InstantSend), which allows for transaction verifications in less than two seconds, a fraction of the time it takes for other digital currency transactions to clear. Dash has grown in value by 6300% since January 1 this year.
Dash Core CEO Ryan Taylor and Uphold SVP & Head of Global Business Development Colin Luce are available for interview
About Dash:

Emancipation wouldn't amount for much without a set of federal laws that govern the ways employees can treat and manage their workforce. Of course, justice for yourself or your fellow workers may only be possible with the support of a qualified labor lawyer.
A labor lawyer fights for the working man and without their skill and expertise the working class would be at the mercy of their boss. This is because not too many workers will ever need to handle a legal case throughout their time in any given company, the boss on the other hand will need to handle many such cases throughout the same time span and this makes them something of a heavyweight in the legal scene.
This makes it quite easy for the employer to throw their weight around. When it comes to dealing with their subordinates, they have the skills and legal mettle to squash any opposition. To further the employer's complacency, many unsuspecting employers believe they are so right in their complaints, and typically are , that any courtroom with half an eye open will rule against the heartless "robber baron" employer and attempt to press their case forward "pro se", meaning on their own. History has shown that self-presented cases are about as successful as self-performed eye-surgeries.
Enter the labor lawyer with extensive skill in handling legal proceedings and equal knowledge of all details associated with labor law. Their unique training and experience give the labor lawyer the capacity to move the wheels of justice in favor of their client despite the overwhelming resources of the opposition.
Labor lawyers are pretty heavyweight themselves and will have the grit and gumption to go toe to toe with the big employer and see that the working class is not forgotten. The labor lawyer keeps the management in check and ensures that the little guy has a chance of coming out on top, for once.
Following are some situations in which the services of a qualified Labor Lawyer would be Advantageous:
- If you feel you were treated badly at your work place and aren't sure if the terms you were given when laid off were fair, or even legal.
- You get the feeling your employer's operations aren't legal and need to get out unscathed and with your reputation intact.
- You have evidence of illegal severance, either your own or that of a fellow worker.
- You are unsatisfied with the results of an official investigation into your workplace, by the EEOC maybe, and you want to press the issue.
- You have a dispute with a former employer over your severance fee and want the matter handled professionally.
- You see that the date for a statute of limitations is fast approaching
If any of these situations sounds like your own, it is important to contact your labour lawyer as fast as possible. Never attempt to take matters into your own hands or even face down your employers with "The Facts", as this will only aggravate the situation. Contact your labor lawyer and discuss what the best course of action would be.

MUA2 DLC to be pulled forever on December 31
Activision plans on taking the Character and Sim Mission Pack DLC for Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 off the market on December 31.
The DLC adds five extra characters along with extra Achievements, and it will run you $9.99/£7.99 on PSN and 800 MSP on XBL.
Originally, the DLC was set to be pulled on December 31, 2009 but owners of the game have a bit of a tiff over it, so Activision extended the deadline by a year.
No quarter this time around though. Once it's gone, it's gone for good. So if you still play the game, best hurry up and get it.
Thanks, Eurogamer.

When I arrive at the Tucson Free Pantry for the first time, I feel as though I'm in a garden, or at a farmer's market, more than at a food bank. I hear live music playing in the courtyard of the Historic Y, where the Tucson CSA has set up its weekly food pick-up. I hear birds chirping from the shady Palo Verde tree overhead. As a student at the University of Arizona and resident of Tucson, I've walked and biked by this spot many times. It's not that I haven't noticed the Tucson Free Pantry before. Rather, the pantry – established only a few weeks earlier – already feels at home in the neighborhood, like it's been here forever.
The Tucson Free Pantry is a small, beautifully constructed wooden cabinet, set just off the sidewalk on University Street. A four-pane glass window looks in on two shelves stocked with an assortment of food items. I've opened the front door and am admiring the current variety of donations when Chaparelle Mogavero-Cline, founder and director of Tucson Free Pantry, arrives.
Chaparelle Mogavero-Cline started Tucson Food Pantry (TFP) as a way to meet immediate and local food needs in Tucson, and as a way to combine her passions for community, education, and sustainability. Her goal is to promote health and food security and eliminate food waste by installing self-sustaining neighborhood food pantries. Tucson is home to several successful food banks, but TFP offers an entirely different approach. As Mogavero-Cline explains, "Food pantries require applications and have set hours of operation. Anyone may access the TFP at any time."
As we talk, students bike by on their way home from school. Families pick up their weekly CSA share. The streetcar stops to let passengers off. I mention that this seems like a surprisingly high-traffic area. Mogavero-Cline nods. This is exactly the point. Her goal is to build pantries that are as accessible as possible, both for donors and for people taking food. This is, perhaps, the most unique aspect of the TFP model. Mogavero-Cline explains, "Whether stocking or taking stock, everyone approaches the TFP the same way, mediating the shame that accompanies need."
In every Tucson Free Pantry, there's a sign that says, "Take what you need, give what you can." As I watch people come and go, stopping occasionally to ask what we are doing, I realize that this tiny pantry is living up to its mission. The Tucson Free Pantry is for everyone, a community effort to inrease food security, to reduce waste, and to foster a sustainable food culture in Southern Arizona.
The Tucson Free Pantry draws on models of other community-based organizations, namely Little Free Library, a nonprofit organization that fosters book exchanges around the world. Little Free Libraries come in many shapes and sizes, but often look like small, enclosed wooden bookshelves, perched by the sidewalk, through which people can exchange favorite books with passing neighbors. The Tucson Free Pantry operates on a similar model: people walking by the pantry can stop any hour of the day to take or donate food.
Mogavero-Cline's vision for the organization is twofold: to build more pantries throughout Tucson, and to establish partners throughout the city so that each pantry is self-sustaining within its local community.
This is already happening at the first TFP location, right outside the Historic Y (738 N 5th Ave). Mogavero-Cline explains that although the Tucson Free Pantry organization stocked the location initially, the community has filled the pantry ever since. The pantry is stocked, she explains, by "local businesses and organizations, local farms and community garden members, University of Arizona students, food banks and others, such as yourself, if you are able."
The Tucson Free Pantry team recently installed a second location at St. Marks Presbyterian Church (3809 E 3rd St). The team is working to spread the model of the free pantry beyond Tucson, and has already provided support for pantry installations in Georgia and Tennessee.
How can one donate to the Tucson Free Pantry? Coordinating a donation is arguably one of the easiest things you can do. Find the location nearest you and drop off some unused, non-perishable food. No donation is too small! The pantries are open 24/7 and require no code or application. Volunteers can also help the organization by building or maintaining pantries, or by coordinating larger donations.
What might one find in, or donate to, a Tucson Free Pantry? On my most recent stop, I found a variety of food items: boxes of dried pasta, bags of rice, cans of soup, and jars of homemade jam. Mogavero-Cline, herself an avid gardener, told me about the recent abundance of broccoli in her community garden plot. The TFP allowed her to share some of this produce, which otherwise might have gone bad. TFP donations are not limited to edible items: essentially, any unused item that you can find at a grocery store – and that won't go bad as it sits in the unrefrigerated shelf – is fair game: school supplies, toilet paper, paper towels, tissue, personal hygiene items, soap, toothbrushes, etc. TFP asks that people refrain from donating sharp items, such as shaving razors or kitchen knives, or highly perishable items, such as meat, eggs, or dairy. As I sort through the items, complimenting a deliciously fragrant grapefruit, she reminds me that as Tucson shifts into summer, produce will be harder to store in the pantry, so the preference is for non-perishable goods.
The beauty of the Tucson Free Pantry lies is its accessibility. TFP is always open, always available as a place to pick up food items in a moment of need, or to drop off items rather than throw them away.
I look forward to seeing these small pantries make a big impact as they spread throughout Tucson.

First published on June 30, 2007 in the Armenian Reporter
Retired diplomat is to take temporary charge of the U.S. Embassy in Yerevan
by Emil Sanamyan
WASHINGTON – The State Department has dispatched a veteran U.S. diplomat to lead the Embassy in Yerevan for the next few months as the acting chief of mission is preparing to depart.
Ambassador Rudolf Perina will be in Armenia not as ambassador but as chargé d'affaires ad interim. Amb. Perina's arrival, which is expected on July 10, was welcomed by former ambassador to Armenia John Evans, who told the Armenian Reporter that Mr. Perina was "a good friend" for whom he had "highest respect."
"The U.S. Embassy will be in good hands," added Mr. Evans, who was forced to leave Yerevan on September 10, 2006, and retire from the Foreign Service because of remarks he made in 2005 affirming the Armenian Genocide.
Ambassador Richard Hoagland remains the formal ambassador-designate for Armenia, even though his candidacy has been blocked in the Senate since last September. A chargé d'affaires leads a diplomatic mission in the absence of a confirmed ambassador.
Sources familiar with details of the appointment suggested that Mr. Perina will remain in Yerevan for six and 10 weeks. For Mr. Perina, this would become a second such assignment. From May to September 2006, he led the U.S. Embassy in Moldova until the arrival of a permanent ambassador.
Mr. Perina's appointment is intended to ensure the smooth handover of responsibilities from outgoing chargé d'affaires Anthony Godfrey to Joseph Pennington, a State Department official who will be arriving in Armenia later this summer. Mr. Pennington, like Mr. Godfrey, would be deputy chief of mission if an ambassador were present.
Mr. Perina has been called back from retirement after a 32-year career with the Foreign Service. Mr. Perina served as the State Department's deputy director for policy planning (2004–2006), U.S. special negotiator for Karabakh (2001–2004), and ambassador to Moldova (1998–2001).
"By appointing Ambassador Perina as chargé d'affaires, the State Department took into account his rich experience and knowledge of Armenia as well as his personal and business ties with top Armenian leaders, which will contribute to continuity in our bilateral relations with Armenia," a U.S. Embassy spokesperson told RFE/RL.

You may not be familiar with Leyden Energy. It's a company which is developing new battery technology, and batteries aren't quite as – for want of a better word – sexy as other hardware components such as processors. For now, at least. But battery power is rising up the chain, as researchers the world over amp up their quest for drastically improved power cells not only for our smartphones and tablets, but for hybrid and electric cars, too. Leyden Energy has developed an interesting new battery technology named Li-imide, an evolution of the Lithium-ion batteries currently powering our gadgets, which could go on to bring more energy to next generation gadgets.
Battery technology is struggling to keep up with the advances in hardware, but Leyden Energy's VP of Marketing, Noam Kedem believes the decision to use bigger capacity batteries to compensate is the wrong one, because it makes it more difficult to produce thinner and lighter products. To illustrate his point, Kedem references how unusual it was for Apple to increase the iPad 3's size and weight – a direct result of enlarging the battery – over the iPad 2, "An Apple first, and not in a good sense," he quipped.
An evolutionary step forward
It's not just Apple struggling to balance device specs with battery performance either. All big-name manufacturers are, "Bumping against the chemistry ceiling." This is because we're nearing the point where current Lithium ion batteries don't have anything else to give. "The bad news is [the problem] is probably not going away anytime soon," says Kedem, who continues, "there are very few revolutions in the battery space, it's all about evolution. Anyone who says otherwise is probably using a great deal of imagination."
Leyden Energy's Li-imide is just such an evolutionary step forward, and although the company is working on several solutions, Li-imide is at the center of all of them. The Lithium imide electrolyte works with existing graphite cathodes and anodes – the positive and negative terminals inside a battery – where it can provide three times the lifecycle of lithium ion cells. However, lithium imide also works with other materials such as silicon, which is considered to be the next big thing in battery technology, and could see us armed with batteries that last up to a week and recharge in 15 minutes. Because of Li-imide's versatility, Kedem says the company's research into silicon anodes is "progressing at a faster rate than others."
Silicon anode batteries are expected to offer a considerable increase in capacity, a longer lifecycle and more consistent performance even after hundreds of recharges. However, the technology is difficult to perfect, and requires other areas of battery technology to progress at a similar rate, putting us in a position where we've got a while to wait before it becomes available to us, "By the end of 2014 it will be very likely products will be introduced at a consumer level with silicon anode batteries," was Kedem's prediction.
Working closely with hardware manufacturers
Leyden Energy is differentiating itself from other battery manufacturers in another way too, as it has taken the unusual step of working incredibly closely with hardware manufacturers right from the start, to create high performance batteries optimized for a particular product. "The earlier we get into the design process, the more impact we can have," says Kedem, describing an interaction which goes far deeper than you'd imagine, with everything from fine tuning charging algorithms to custom tailoring the battery to give a longer runtime. Traditionally, battery manufacturers sell off-the-shelf designs and aren't interested in limited runs required for new product development. It's this pro-activeness and attention to detail that sets Leyden Energy apart, and could well pay dividends in the future.
The solution to our power woes isn't all about batteries though, so while all this research is going on, Kedem also expects other hardware manufacturers to come under further pressure to produce more power efficient components, citing Sharp's IGZO display panels and Nvidia's Tegra 3 processors as great examples of how the problem is already being combated. Another example is for processor manufacturers to make the step down to 22nm production processes, something which Intel has recently announced it will be doing with its next generation mobile platform.
The biggest gains are going to come from new kinds of batteries though, so could Leyden Energy's Li-imide cells, in one form or another, provide the energy for your next generation phone, tablet, or laptop? We'll have to wait and see, but there's no doubt the company has high aspirations, a point proven by its more than 1700 testing channels, a huge amount considering most of the top battery manufacturers only have a couple of hundred. This allows for rapid innovation and let's face it, that's exactly what the battery industry needs right now.
