“ Bland biscuit used when traveling from one region to the next, though it can be eaten as normal food as well.
This food has no properties apart from being filling, and can even be made using Survival Crafting.
Most commonly used for traveling between regions. See the "Travel" section on each region page for more details.
Almost any food item counts as a "Ration Ingredient". See this article for a comprehensive list.
Guitarfish, rays, and other bycatch are tossed from a shrimp boat in La Paz, Mexico in 2006. Many species caught as bycatch are never monitored, and, insofar as they have important roles in the marine ecosystem, the depletion of their populations reverberate throughout the living community. The loss of millions of small coastal sharks to shrimp trawls and gillnets in the Gulf of Mexico has no doubt altered that environment. Nine out of ten sharks caught in longline fisheries are unwanted and wastefully discarded. Bycatch accounted for the loss of 40,000 undersized north Atlantic swordfish to longlines in 1996 alone.A brave teenager sold into sex slavery was raped by a gang of 40 men and savagely beaten with cables after she tried to escape her ISIS captors.
Lamiya Haji Bashar, 18, stood up to a ruthless Sharia court judge after leading a breakout of several other girls.
She told.’
Lamiya was just one of several thousand Yazidi women and girls condemned to sex slavery by jihadis.
Despite her tragic ordeal, the teenager is now free.
But she has been left blind in her right eye and severe scarring caused by melted skin after she was caught in a land mine explosion during her fifth and final escape.
The blast killed her companions eight-year-old Almas and Katherine, 20.
‘Even if I had lost both eyes, it would have been worth it, because I have survived them,’ she added.
Lamiya was kidnapped in 2014 from her home village of Kocho, near the town of Sinjar.
During her ordeal, she was forced to help make suicide bombs and saw young girls sold to old men as sex slaves.
Lamiya said she had been passed on to three jihadis – all of whom beat and raped her every time she tried to escape.
On one point she was thrown into a room to be gang raped by 40 men.
‘These men were more than monsters. That’s why I stayed strong, because I wanted to challenge the life they gave me,’ she said.
Five of Lamiya’s sisters all managed to escape the clutches of Isis and are living in Germany, but she has one nine-year-old sister Mayada who remains with her captives.
In October she won the European Parliament’s prestigious Sakharov human rights prize and now hopes to restart her studies and go to university.Takeaway: Data is only increasing, and your organization will be left behind if it cannot find a way to capture, manage, and utilize data.
BI and analytics adoption is at about 30% of all employees, according to Gartner.
Takeaway: You are not the only association challenged by user adoption. Get ahead of the pack by picking a solution that’s easy to use, is licensed by organization (not by seat), and adds immediate value.
Takeaway: Everyday business users are becoming more fluent in data, and tools will continue to simplify it. Your association doesn’t need a data scientist for simple analytics, as noted in the Harvard Business Review.
Takeaway: Being competent at data management and interpretation is increasingly essential for survival. Staying relevant in the future means building a data culture now, so that individuals and teams learn to rely on data for informed decision-making.
By 2021, 66% of analytics processes will no longer simply discover what happened and why; instead they will also prescribe what should be done. –Ventana Research Assertions.
Takeaway: It’s important to understand baseline metrics, like how many members your association has and how much revenue they generate - but start shifting your mindset and strategy toward systems that initiative engagement activity, driving change and feeding your analytics loop with fresh outcomes from which to learn.
Teams of researchers at the Harvard Business Review, Gartner Research, Ventana Research, and IDC have contributed to this collection. We hope that this association-focused curation helps prepare you and your organizations to better understand and ride the data wave.
The research and customer success teams at Gravitate are dedicated to isolating and harnessing the very best data analytics technologies and techniques specifically for member-based organizations and we would enjoy discussing with you the ways in which our customers are deriving benefit.

Abby, a young Navy SEAL's wife, must learn to cope after her husband dies in the line of duty while deployed in Afghanistan. Hoping to find closure and learn how her husband spent his final days, she heads to Bethesda to sit at the bedside of her husband's best friend, a soldier who remains in a coma caused by the same IED blast that killed her husband. But can anything mend Abby's broken heart?
After returning home to Virginia Beach, Abby’s world will have to change in order to adjust to the shocking surprise she found at the hospital. Her love is soon tested to the limit once again.??"Programmed" in the bone marrow. When faced with an antigenic challenge, mature into plasma cells capable of producing antibodies (immunoglobulins) directed against that specific antigen, or become memory cells for that antigen. Plasma cells do not circulate in peripheral blood.
The major source of tissue macrophages. When these cells leave the circulation and enter tissue, they are termed HISTIOCYTES when they are in the resting state and MACROPHAGES when reacting to stimulus. Act to phagocytize large particulate matter. Capable of pinocytosis of soluble material. "Process" and present antigens to T- and B-cells and secrete numerous monokines.
What is the purpose of the initial vasoconstriction in the inflammatory process?
What causes the heat and redness of inflammation?
Vasodilation: soon after vasocontriction, in the area of injury, aterioles rapidly dilate and the precapillary sphincters of nonfunctioning capillary beds are relaxed thereby allowing an increased volume and rate of blood flow (hyperemia) through the tissue.
Increased volume and rate of blood flow is also known as?
During the acute inflammatory response, as hyperemia develops, the vessels become increasingly permeable allowing the escape of fluid and proteins into the interstitium of the tissues which, in part, acts as a dilutional agent against toxins or antigens. What clinical feature of inflammation do these permeability changes result in?
As fluid escapes into the surrounding tissue, the concentration of cellular elements remaining inside the vessels increases. The normal laminar flow of blood is disrupted and the RBCs tend to clump together in the center of the vessel while the WBCs fall to the outer margins and begin to line the endothelial surface, a process called ______?
As the blood flow slows down because of loss of fluid from the vessels, the marginating WBCs begin to loosely "stick" to, roll along, and ultimately adhere to the endothelial surface, a process called ______? This is accomplished through the expression of a variety of _____ ______ on the surface of the leukocytes and venular endothelial cells.
What are the three stages of phagocytosis?
Include prostaglandins and leukotrienes. Metabolized by either the cyclo-oxygenase pathway (producing prostaglandins) or the lipo-oxygenase pathway (producing leukotrienes). Prostraglandins can act as vasodilators or vasoconstrictors and may be responsible for the pain and fever seen in inflammation. Leukotrienes cause vasoconstriction and increase vascular permeability.
Laboratory findings of acute inflammation include an increase in the total number of leukocytes circulating in the peripheral blood, called _____. This may be accompanied by increased percentage of immature neutrophils in the peripheral blood (______). Extreme elevations of WBC count are referred to as ______.
LONDON: Liz Trussthe leader in the alternative race Boris Johnson as British prime minister, said she still favors tax cuts to grow the economy instead of directly supporting households facing increase in energy bills.
Charities, business groups and politicians have called on Truss and her rival, the former finance minister. Rishi Sunakto figure out how they will help Britons deal with the 82%
