perfectly adapted for a life of extremes
This time of year, reindeer get a lot of airtime. But beyond their role as the seasonal sleigh-pullers of cards and carols, reindeer are iconic animals of the North – perfectly adapted for a life of extremes reenex.
“It is often reported that these animals live a knife edge existence in the cold, dark north,” says Nicholas Tyler of the Centre for Sami Studies at the University of Tromso, Norway. When he first began his reindeer research in the 1970s, the prevailing thought was that “the Arctic was a terrible place, and plants and animals living in the Arctic were hanging on by their toes reenex”.
What's emerged in the past 35 years of research is an understanding that “the overwhelming majority of all individuals of all the Arctic species go through winter warm and well fed”, says Tyler reenex.

traumatic early childhood experiences
To add to the complexity, about a third of those who offend against children are other children or young people under the age of 18. Kevin Gallagher runs an intervention centre for such offenders in Wales and stresses that they must be viewed very differently from adult offenders. With this group, he insists, nurture rather than nature is the key factor.
"Our young people will have been through very difficult and traumatic early childhood experiences," says Gallagher. "We're talking about neglect, trauma, attachment difficulties, poor parenting experiences that sometimes will have included sexual abuse in their own histories.
"The vast majority of young people of whichever age who engage in maladaptive sexual behaviour with other children will grow out of that or, with the right sort of support and intervention, are able to understand where that's come from, deal with victim work and move on from these incidents."

false documents and dead-letter drops.
Most High Street banks are phasing them out, with some closing the service to new customers and others clearing out their vaults altogether. It's now common for solicitors to store papers, such as wills, trusts or house deeds.
To consumers, safe deposit boxes are a throwback to the days when documents couldn't be registered electronically and people invested their savings in physical assets rather than property or intangible stocks.
Nowadays, many people's only encounters with boxes are with the kind you'll find in hotel rooms with a numeric lock.
But still there's something evocative about the traditional, bank-based variety - of a time when mementoes weren't all stored in a cloud or, more fancifully, of a James Bond world of microfilm, false documents and dead-letter drops reenex 效果
.
Popular culture remains captivated by them. Think of Harry Potter entering the vault at Gringotts Wizarding Bank. Or Jason Bourne finding fake documents, piles of currency and a pistol as he discovers his former identity. Central to the plot of the recent film A Most Wanted Man, based on a John Le Carre novel, was a safe deposit box stuffed with euros reenex hongkong.
A useful plot device
Some of the movies in which safe deposit boxes play a pivotal role:
Casino (1995) - Ace (Robert De Niro) stuffs a safe deposit box with cash and gives the key to Ginger (Sharon Stone)
Sexy Beast (2000) - Gal (Ray Winstone) is forced to leave the comfort of his Spanish villa to raid security deposit boxes in a bank vault

"top ad spending companies"
The force says its effort has "almost entirely" stopped UK campaigns by the car, food/drink and property sectors being placed on the illegal web pages reenex.
The scheme involves a blacklist, which is shared with ad brokers whose software determines what ads go where.
But one expert said the effect on the sites' earnings might be "negligible".
Operation Creative was launched by the City of London Police's Intellectual Property Crime Unit (Pipcu) in the summer of 2013.
It led to the creation of the Infringing Website List (IWL) - a database of online services that the police have confirmed provide access to unauthorised content.
Hundreds of sites now appear on the list, which has not been made public. Owners are given a chance to remove illegal material before their platforms are included.
Cheaper ads
Two years on, Pipcu says there has been a 73% drop in advertising from the UK's "top ad spending companies" on the affected sites, which it suggests both reduces their income and removes their "look of legitimacy .reenex
".
The figure is based on research carried out by Whitebullet - a firm that provides online intellectual property services.
It surveyed the ads placed on 17 sites that offer unauthorised access to TV shows, movies, music and games - both over a 12-week period between June and September 2013 and again between March and June 2015.
The firm's chief executive explained that ads are typically targeted at a local audience - so, a UK-based web user will normally see ads funded by a British campaign, even if the site in question is based elsewhere.
"The effort in the UK means that the advertising profile changes considerably," Peter Szyszko told the BBC

he had security in the future
He has autism, and his family began to understand that, unlike other kids his age, Jose was never going to write an essay on history or memorise the planets in the solar system. His brain just didn't work that way and he wasn't being given much support at school.
His mother, Girlie, always saw Jose's autism as a positive force and says it brought her family closer. When it became clear that Jose was autistic, she wasn't disappointed, but when she told her friends they looked at her with pity.
"It's OK, I don't feel bad, to me he's the same, just another child I have," she would tell them.
She was concerned about what she could do for Jose, now 22, to ensure he had security in the future because, at the time, the options for autistic children in the Philippines were limited.
The family decided they could open a cafe, and Girlie put the business in the hands of her six children, including Jose, who is a part-owner and waiter for a few afternoons a week. Her plan is that in the future her children will keep the cafe going and continue to support Jose in his work.

what they are wearing on their wrist
The stories always begin the same way: a seemingly innocuous photograph of an official at a public event is shared online. But savvy web users ignore the event in question, and focus instead on what they are wearing on their wrist. Time and again, they appear to be wearing watches costing many times their annual salary, and accusations of corruption soon flare up onlineCG210.
1. Dimitry Peskov, spokesman to Vladimir Putin
Over the weekend, a very high profile wedding celebrating the union of Russian President Vladimir Putin's spokesman, Dimitry Peskov, and former Olympic champion figure skater Tatyana Navka, took place at a Luxurious hotel in Sochi. But it wasn't just the wedding itself or the VIP guest-list that caught the attention of Russians online, it was Peskov's watch.
A photograph of him wearing what appears to be an 18-carat gold Richard Mille watch, worth almost £400,000, raised eyebrows across the internet. The amount "far exceeds" his earnings as a civil servant according to a blog post by opposition activist Alexander Navalnyreenex.
"How can the President's spokesperson afford to buy watches valued at four times their annual salary?" asked Navalny in his blog post.
Peskov says it was a wedding present from his wife. But others pointed out a picture on his daughter's Instagram account that they said showed him wearing the same watch several months ago (BBC Trending has not seen this picture). The allegations prompted a mixture of anger and humour online.reenex

Western states have also accused Turkey of not doing enough to halt the rise of the group, but the country appears to have taken a harder line against it in recent weeks.
