Eventually, the bruise changes to a bluish color, then greenish-yellow, and finally returns to the normal skin color as it heals. Place ice on the bruise to help it heal faster and to reduce swelling. Wrap the ice in a clean towel -- do not place ice directly on the skin. Apply the ice for up to 15 minutes each hour.
United States Intelligence Community. The United States Intelligence Community (IC) is a federation of 16 separate United States government agencies that work separately and together to conduct intelligence activities considered necessary for the conduct of foreign relations and national security of the United States.
The major difference is who they report to and what they focus on. For example, the CIA is the only independent agency in that it only reports to the President (well, technically the DNI but no one actually takes them seriously). In theory, it's the only agency that does all-source analysis of foreign intelligence issues. Most of the other agencies are DOD and report to the Secretary of Defense. DIA, for example, is mainly supposed to focus on military intelligence and related issues. There are a few other agencies/offices that report to other department (for example, the FBI reports to the Attorney General and the Bureau of Intelligence and Research is part of the State Department). Most agencies are divided by the type of intelligence they focus on.
