An important comparative study of Japanese politics that reveals that green issues have yet to displace the traditional urban politics of post-industrial Japan.

ISBN: 9781512017649 / Angielski / Miękka / 120 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Bipartisan Budget Act (BBA) of 2013 included a provision that reduced the cost-of-living adjustments (COLA) for working age military retirees by 1 percent until the retiree reaches the age of 62, at which time retired pay is adjusted to the level it would have been had the COLA not been reduced.

ISBN: 9781512100709 / Angielski / Miękka / 218 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. When it comes to crime policy, we have a choice - we can reduce crime or we can play politics. For far too long, government officials have chosen to play politics by enacting so-called "tough on crime" slogans such as "three strikes and you're out" or "you do the adult crime, you do the adult time." As appealing as these policies may sound, their impacts range from a negligible reduction in crime to an increase in crime. Over the past 40 years, federal criminal laws and policies have led to a dramatic increase in the number of people prosecuted and incarcerated federally, the length of their...

VA Claims System: Review of VA's Transformation Progress
ISBN: 9781512104745 / Angielski / Miękka / 50 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Veterans are deeply concerned about the VA's claims backlog.

The number of claims pending longer than 125 days, or officially part of the backlog, has dropped to just over 395,000 claims or 57 percent of the total inventory. The origin of this problem goes back a number of years. Until 2008 there was no serious effort on the part of VA to move from the world of...

Protecting Consumers from False and Deceptive Advertising of Weight-Loss Products
ISBN: 9781512158632 / Angielski / Miękka / 94 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. According to the most recent data from the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention, more than one-third of American adults are obese, and 70 percent are either obese or overweight. This familiar story of the obesity epidemic is further colored by surveys finding a desire among Americans to lose weight, but consistently failing to put in the effort to do so. In 2013, a Gallup survey showed that 51 percent of adults wanted to lose weight, while just 25 percent said they were seriously working toward that goal. This mismatch between Americans' stated desire to shed weight and their lack of...
