ISBN: 9781503387188 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 130 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Marijuana is considered by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and the National Drug Intelligence Center (NDIC) to be "a leading drug threat to the country." However, U.S. law enforcement authorities generally regard marijuana as a lower threat than cocaine and diverted pharmaceuticals because it is less often associated with violent crime and property crime. Marijuana is the most readily available and widely used and abused illicit drug in the nation. Its prevalence has contributed to both an acceptance of marijuana use among some adults and adolescents and a perception that the drug...

Both proposals failed because of strong congressional...

ISBN: 9781503383616 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) This report is a contribution to the ongoing debate about whether the authorizations in Title 10 of the U.S. Code for general and flag officers (G/FOs) specify appropriate numbers and pay grades. Congress has not revised G/FO authorizations since 1996. The report addresses, in particular, the issues of whether the numbers and/or pay grades of G/FOs in the reserve component (RC) are commensurate with the increasing reliance upon the reserve forces in military operations, and whether G/FO strength in the RC is equitable compared to G/FO strength in the active component (AC). The report sheds...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Investor behavior is a hotly debated topic within the academic community.
