Extractions: The principal collection Agencies for secret intelligence are GCHQ and SIS. Their functions are set out in the Intelligence Services Act 1994. The Joint Intelligence Committee (JIC) agrees on the broad intelligence requirements and tasking to be laid upon SIS and GCHQ. These are reviewed annually in a process managed by the Intelligence Co-ordinator. This combines a rigorous analysis of the need for secret intelligence with extensive consultation with customer Departments and consideration of the financial and other resources required. The resulting requirements are submitted to Ministers for approval. The intelligence requirements are ordered into three priorities according to their importance to the national security and economic well-being of the United Kingdom. They are further divided into matters on which secret intelligence is actively sought, and those on which intelligence should be reported on an opportunity basis. Examples of high priority requirements would be those dealing with terrorism, the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, and any other threats to the UK or to the integrity of British territory overseas. At the end of each year the performance of the Agencies in meeting these requirements is reviewed by the JIC and subsequently by Ministers. The Security Service has its functions set out in the Security Service Acts 1989 and 1996, and it contributes intelligence on some of the JIC's requirements (for example, terrorism).

Extractions: Calcium Functions Dietary Sources Required Intakes Meal Plan Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the human body. Of the body's total calcium, about 99% is in the bones and teeth where it plays a structural role. The remaining 1% is present in body tissues and fluids where it is essential for cell metabolism, muscle contraction and nerve impulse transmission. The main function of calcium is structural. The skeleton of a young adult male contains about 1.2 kg of calcium. There is continuous movement of calcium between the skeleton and blood and other parts of the body. This is finely controlled by hormones. Metabolites of Vitamin D are important in this, increasing reabsorption of calcium by bones. Calcium also plays a role in cell biology. Calcium can bind to a wide range of proteins altering their biological activity. This is important in nerve impulse transmission and muscle contraction. Calcium is also needed for blood clotting, activating clotting factors. Vitamin D is needed for absorption of dietary calcium and so calcium deficiency may be linked with rickets in children. In adults, calcium deficiency may lead to osteomalacia (softening of bones). This may be related to repeated pregnancy with lengthy breast feeding.
