This work aims to promote the concept of reducing the incidence of election irregularities and requiring less intervention by the court or similar disputes resolution mechanisms. The essence of this new approach is to place much greater emphasis on drastically reducing errors through noncompliance with electoral laws and particularly rules, regulations, and directives, which result in election irregularities. This approach may require greater clarity in drafting election rules and regulations as well as more intense monitoring and warning systems developed by EMBs to ensure a high degree of accuracy in the preparation and polling processes. This concept proceeds on the basis that, in general, election stakeholders wish to see the genuine results of the democratic process without diversions to the court or similar assistance being brought into action.
Modern perspectives of law enforcement are both complex and diverse. They integrate management and statistical analysis functions, public and business administration functions, and applications of psychology, natural science, physical fitness, and marksmanship. They also assimilate theories of education, organizational behavior, economics, law and public policy, and many others. Modern law enforcement is a blend of both theoretical knowledge and applied practice that continuously changes through time. With contributions by nine authors offering a diverse presentation, Introduction to Law Enforcement goes beyond the linear perspective found in most law enforcement texts and offers multiple perspectives and discussions regarding both private and public entities. Through this approach, readers gain an understanding of several dimensions of the subject matter. Topics discussed include: Contemporary crime trends Policing ethics Law enforcement history The functions of modern law enforcement agencies Homeland security Public service Human resources The path of a case from arrest through incarceration and post-release Local, state, regional, federal, and tribal law enforcement agencies Private enforcement organizations Adaptable across a wide range of learning environments, the book uses a convenient format organized by agency type. Pedagogical features include learning objectives, case studies, and discussion questions to facilitate reader assimilation of the material. Comprehensive in scope, the text presents a robust consideration of the law enforcement domain.
Originally formed to harbor freed slaves and Americans returning to Africa, Liberia once was a land of hope. That was shattered by a long Civil War that shook its very foundation. Today's Liberia is glimpsed in this second edition. Building on the first edition, this updated volume focuses on the personalities, from the founders of Liberia, to the soldiers who are responsible simultaneously for destruction and the hope of stability. Along with these people, various social and ethnic groups, political parties and labor movements, economic entities and natural resources are profiled in this updated work. A new chronology of Liberia is included, and a selected bibliography suggests further readings for the scholar.
The latest edition of The Illustrated Book of Development Definitions breaks new ground. It addresses traditional and new planning problems: natural and industrial disasters such as hurricanes and oil spills; new housing types and living accommodations; changes in urban design and practice like new urbanism; sustainability; pedestrian and bicycle friendly environments; and more. Joining Harvey S. Moskowitz and Carl G. Lindbloom, authors of the first three editions, are two prominent, nationally known planners: David Listokin and Richard Preiss. Attorney Dwight H. Merriam adds legal annotations to almost all 2,276 definitions. These citations from court decisions bridge the gap between land use theory and real world application, bringing a new dimension to this edition. More than 20,000 copies of previous editions were sold over four decades to professionals and government representatives, such as members of planning and zoning boards and municipal governing bodies. This first revision in ten years updates what is widely acknowledged as an essential, standard reference for planners.

The Bible and Hebrew texts tell us: The Bible tells us in Genesis 8:4 that the ark rested “upon the mountains of Ararat.” Hebrew text tells us the ark came to rest on the mountains of “rrt.” There are no vowels in original Hebrew text, so “rrt” translated to Urartu and later to Ararat. Research tells us the area extended from southeastern Turkey across the present border into Iran and north to include most of present day Armenia to the southwest corner of Georgia then southwest to about the present city of Malatya and back southeast and south of Lake Van and southeast Turkey. It covered much of the eastern 1/3 of the present day Turkey. Mount Ararat is within that general area. Additional research that includes the time when Genesis is understood to have been written by Moses (1400-1450 BC) indicates that the Urartu Kingdom may have included the area into what is now Northern Iraq and to Historic Assyria. Additional research using Wikipedia tell us Assyrian sources from early 1300 BC have the Urartu Kingdom in the vast mountainous regions southwest of the Black Sea and Southwest of the Caspian Sea. Mount Ararat is within that general area. If the “mountains of Ararat,” or Urartu has included such a large area or areas over the centuries, then since there has been no verifiable discovery that has been proven to be a large structure of a great age, It can be understood why some researchers are of the opinion that Mount Ararat may not have been in the area of Urartu at the time of the writing of the book of Genesis, or the ark did not land on Mount Ararat, but on another mountain within the vast area. Some other mountains suggested by those who have varied opinions are mentioned in chapter 17. There is also the belief by some that Mount Ararat is a post-flood mountain. This rationale is pursued despite the many reports (more than 40) of an ark sighting on Mount Ararat. A question here given regarding the landing place of the ark may be: Was Mount Ararat in the Urartu Kingdom at the time Genesis was written? (You have read this book; you know my position on the position of Mount Ararat when the ark landed and when Genesis was written). It certainly was in the Urartu Kingdom in the 9th century BC which later succeeded to the Armenians in the 6th century BC, but was Mount Ararat included in the “mountains of Ararat” (Gen. 8:4) when the book of Genesis was written? Moses is understood to have written the book of Genesis. Henrietta C. Mears (chapter 9, foot note 13) says the book of Genesis closes about 300 years before Moses was born. Moses could have only received the information to write the book by a direct revelation from God, or by historical records. If historical records were involved, where did the records come from? She writes: “No doubt it was written long before by Abraham, Noah, or Enoch, who knows?” Dr. Henry Morris agrees (also chapter 9, footnote 14) and ads that oral traditions handed down over the centuries may have been involved here too. God shared the records with Moses in whatever manner he chose to do so. The Word of God is truth. As far as Mt. Ararat being a post-flood mountain as some seem to believe, Dr. John Morris, Dr. Tim LaHaye and other scientists tell us the mountain was pre-flood and grew to its greatest height with all the geological activity that took place during the flood (Chapter 9). Turkish geologist Dr. Bayraktutan has located what are believed to be “basement rocks” that give proof that Mount Ararat was pre-flood (“Who We Are” section). A question may be: What area did the Urartu Kingdom occupy long before Moses arrived on the scene? Wherever the area was I am of the belief that Mount Ararat was included in that area that would be known as the “mountains of Ararat” at the time the ark landed on it. I have personally talked with at least 6 people who have seen, or have personal knowledge of the ark on Ararat. They are the Reverend Vince Will who saw it from an aircraft in WWII, Ed Davis who during WWII was taken to see the ark by Kurds from his base in neighboring Iran, two 2 Kurdish shepherds who told me they saw part of a large structure, Dudley Thomas who held a top secret security clearance and saw satellite photographs and classified information in the “Science and technology Highlights” classified journal when in the navy, and Saim Sahin who was taken to the ark and was able to touch it. Their stories are in chapters 5 and 17, as well as in “Who We Are” and the “Sketches and Photo Sections.” A complete study of the Urartu Kingdom can be seen here: https://www.noahsarksearch.com/Urartu_Ararat_Boundaries.pdf
According to the Sentencing Project, between 1980 and 2017, the number of incarcerated women increased by more than 750%, rising from a total of 26,378 in 1980 to 225,060 in 2017 and the number continues to rise.

Practitioners who deal with Japanese law have put great store by earlier editions of this major work, which systematically compares United States (US) law and Japanese law across all the major fields of legal practice. This fourth revised edition updates the work with the continuing dramatic changes in Japan’s legal system, including changes in criminal trials, disclosures to defense counsel of evidence to be used by the prosecution, the increasing use of recordings of interrogation sessions, and the impact of the indigenous movement for judicial reform. All chapters have been updated. In the fourth revised edition, which follows the same comparative structure as formerly, author Carl Goodman ̄ an internationally known authority with extensive experience in international practice, university teaching in both Japan and the US, and US government service — takes expert stock of new developments, including the following: • the Cabinet’s Declaration reinterpreting the Renunciation of War Clause in the Constitution and legislation following such reinterpretation; • interpretation of new rules for international jurisdiction of Japanese courts, including the new law’s effect on mirror image lawsuits filed in Japan; • the Supreme Court’s rulings dealing with the presumption of paternity, the waiting period for remarriage after divorce, and inheritance rights of “out of wedlock children”; • international and domestic Japanese child custody; • unanticipated consequences of criminal trials before the new mixed lay/professional panels; • debate concerning the Emperor’s announcement of his desired abdication; and • an update of Japan’s experiment with new graduate legal faculties. Although the alteration of the legal landscape in Japan is highly visible, the author does not hesitate to raise questions as to how far-reaching the changes really are. In almost every branch of the new Japanese legal practice he uncovers ways in which laws and judicial rulings are closely qualified and are likely to present challenges in any given case. He reminds the reader in each chapter that “what you see may not be what you get”. For this reason, and for its comprehensive coverage, this new edition is sure to gain new adherents as the best-informed practical guide for non-Japanese lawyers with dealings in Japan.
