According to a study done in 2006, approximately 800,000 people are trafficked across national borders each year, and millions trafficked inside their own countries.
This includes all types of human trafficking, although trafficking for prostitution is thought by some to make up a large portion of trafficking.
Because it is illegal, it is hard to find out the real number of women or children forced into sex work.
The study estimated that eighty percent of transnational victims are women and girls and up to half of them may be minors (meaning not adults).
Children are sold into the global sex trade every year.
Often they are kidnapped or orphaned.
In some cases they are even sold by their own families.
According to the International Labour Organization, the problem is well known in Thailand, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Cambodia, Nepal and India.
The main causes of human trafficking are poverty, war, and other social issues.
Some women are made to believe promises of a better life, sometimes by people who are known and trusted to them.
Traffickers may own legitimate travel agencies, modeling agencies and employment offices in order to gain women's trust.
Others are simply kidnapped.
Once overseas it is common for their passport to be taken away by the trafficker and to be warned of the consequences should they attempt to escape.
This may include beatings, rape, threats of violence against their family and death threats.
It is common, particularly in Eastern Europe, that should they manage to return to their families they will only be trafficked once again.
When an area has a lot of prostitutes some people say its a "sexidemic" (too much).
Globally, forced labour generates $31bn, half of it in the industrialised world, a tenth in transition countries, the International Labour Organization says in a report on forced labour.
Trafficking in people has been made easier by porous borders and advanced communication technologies, it has become increasingly transnational in scope and highly lucrative within its barbarity.
In some countries counselling, accommodation and specialist care exists to help trafficked people escape.
In other countries, this support is lacking and individuals are often treated as illegal immigrants and deported.
Child prostitutes
One of the big problems is that of child prostitution.
Most prostitution happens between adults, but many prostitutes are children.
This means that people caught with these prostitutes may also face charges of having sex with a child.
In most countries, prostitutes do need to be of a certain age, which is usually higher than the age of consent.
Usually, having sex with a child is punished harshly.
Certain people travel to other countries to have sex with children, which is forbidden where they live.
Many countries have changed their laws so they also apply outside their territory.
The crime is usually not discovered, so these laws are rarely enforced.
A girl is a young female human, either a child or a teenager.
Little girls still have the body of a child.
It is not until they reach puberty (which starts at age 12 on average) that their bodies start to mature and they become a woman.
During puberty, a girl develops breasts, their hips and shoulders widen and they begin to have periods.
The word "girl" was used a long time ago by some people called Anglo-Saxons.
Sometimes older people still refer to grown up women as "girls", especially in expressions such as "a night out with the girls".
According to some Abrahamic derived traditions, the first girl that ever existed was Luluwa.
The opposite of a girl is a boy.
A boy is a male child who will grow into a man.
The way girls are brought up will vary a lot between different cultures.
In Western cultures, a girl traditionally wears a dress or skirt.
However, many girls wear trousers (pants) these days, like boys, especially when dressed informally.
Girls often grow their hair longer than boys, although this can vary a lot according to quickly changing fashions.

RuneScape is a video game that is played on the Internet.
Multiple people play RuneScape all at the same time, which makes it a Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game (or MMORPG).
It began in 2001, and is owned by Jagex Ltd. It is set in a fantasy land.
The game first started in 2001 as Runescape (now referred to as RuneScape Classic), but the code and graphics engine was rewritten in 2004 to form Runescape 2.
Again, in 22 July 2013, the game was rewritten as RuneScape 3, which is the version playable today.
The game is designed to allow players all over the world to connect and play together in real-time.
There may be over 100,000 people playing the game at any one time, and even more at peak times such as weekends.
The game was originally made by Andrew Gower.
He created a game named "DeviousMUD" in 1998.
DeviousMud used two dimensional graphics.
It was only briefly released to the public before being taken down.
RuneScape is entirely made of  three dimensional graphics.
Jagex was formed soon after.
It stands for Java Gaming Experts.
Andrew Gower is head of development.
It was renamed to Just About the Game Experience.
Old School RuneScape (OSRS) is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) developed and published by Jagex.
The game can be played with or without buying membership.
The game was released on February 22, 2013 as a copy of the main game.
After players grew frustrated with updates to the main game, Jagex opened a poll where players could vote whether or not to bring back an older version of the game from 2007.
The number of votes would determinine the support it would receive from Jagex.
The poll ended with over 450,000 votes in favor of the servers; this meant it would not require an additional subscription and would have a small development team.
In order for new content to be added to the game, the update must pass a game-wide poll with a seventy-fine percent ratio.
Since release, OSRS has received many engine improvements, new content, and quality of life updates.
Despite having a smaller staff and a slower relative update schedule, OSRS had more than twice the active players that RuneScape had by 2017.
A mobile version of the game for Android and iOS was released in October 2018.
The RuneScape world has many different areas and places where players can explore and do activities such as quests or training a skill.
RuneScape skills are abilities that players can train to be able to do special things.
Smithing is an example of a skill that can allow a player to create metal items.
RuneScape is an online game.
Like most free online games, the free version is basic, and there is an option to become a paying member and buy more features.
RuneScape members who pay get to explore a world three times as big.
RuneScape is played on 172 servers.
Each server can have up to 2,000 people playing on it at a time.
As an optional service one can become a Member.
Members get a larger area to play in, and go past the level 5 trial that free players get in the 10 members skills, 6 times the space in the game's bank, and access to member only weapons, tools, armor and quests.
There are over one million (1,000,000) members in Runescape.
Weapons, Armor, and Shields
Like most MMORPGs, RuneScape has weapons, armor and shields.
Weapons, armor and shields can be made out of many things.
Common materials for items include bronze, iron, steel, black, mithril, adamantite, rune, granite, and dragon.
Some of these materials can be obtained by mining rocks that contain ore.
Players can then create items from the ore by smelting the ore using the smith skill into bars and then use the bar and smith it also using the smithing skill.
There are also other armors that can not be made but must be gotten through methods such as trade or quests.
Some members only weapons have special abilities to help the player, such as the abyssal whip and the dragon scimitar.
Mages use magic to protect themselves and others so they use a light clothing.
Rangers usually wear dragon-skin to protect themselves from opponents.
RuneScape has skills to train, including 16 free to play skills and 10 members skills.
Players can train their skills by doing different actions.
Skills are usually trained by collecting a resource, like logs, and doing something with them such as burning them.
All of the skills can be leveled up to a max of 99 and Dungeoneering has a max of 120.
All are also able to be trained to 200,000,000exp.
Player Killing
RuneScape has a Player Killing part in the game.
Player killing takes place in the Wilderness, a large area north of all major cities.
Player killing also takes place in some mini-games but it is different from main player killing because in mini-games, there are different rules that control player killing.
Player killing was limited to only minigames on December 10, 2007.
However, Wilderness player killing was reinstated on February 1, 2011.

Exploitation means using things that are available in order to benefit from it.
It is usually used in a bad sense, although it can be used in a good sense as well.
If a person exploits a situation it means that they realize that they can use it to do something which will be good for them.
Very often this also means that it will be bad for other people.
So the first person exploits the situation and also exploits the other people.
People, especially unskilled workers, can be exploited through a sweatshop.
This means that someone else uses the people's knowledge or skills in order to make them do something for them.
Socialists (or communists) often talked about the "exploitation of the masses" when they were saying that Capitalism was bad.
They meant that a few rich people were using all the working people to do hard work for them but paying them very little.
The employers then sold the products for more money and kept the extra as profits so that they themselves could become rich.
People is a weekly American magazine of celebrity and human interest stories.
It is published by Time Inc. As of 2006, it had a circulation of 3.75 million.

People ranked #6 on Advertising Age's annual "A-list" and #3 on Adweek's "Brand Blazers" list in October 2006.

Brigitte Bardot (French IPA: ) (born 28 September 1934) is a French actress, former fashion model, singer, animal rights activist, and considered one of the most important sex symbols of the 1950s and 1960s.
She was one of the few actresses from Europe to which the American media paid attention.
Born in Paris, into a well to do family, her father was an industrialist and her mother a housewife.
She received a strict education but was allowed to take ballet lessons hoping to become a professional classical dancer.
In 1949, at the suggestion of a family friend, she began working as a fashion model and ended up making the cover of Elle magazine in May 1950.
This led to her being noticed by movie director Yves Allegret who offered her a role in one of his movie.
The movie was never made but during the audition she met his young assistant Roger Vadim.
Her family was strongly against the relationship but finally gave in and they married in 1952.
That same year, she began her acting career and appeared in two films; Le trou normand and Manina, fille sans voile.
In the ensuing years, she appeared in small parts in various movies in France, Italy and England.
Her career really took off in 1956, when she appeared in Vadim's movie Et Dieu créa la femme (An God created Woman), written especially for her, which made her an instant star and an international sex-symbol.
From then on, her every move made headlines around the world.
In 1958, she bought a house "La Madrague" in Saint Tropez, then a quiet fishermen village, which has since then become a highly touristic destination.
Other notable movies have included; En cas de malheur (1958), La vérité (1960), considered by many her best role, Vie Privée (1962), Le mépris (1963), Viva Maria (1965), etc.
She also enjoyed success as a singer but mostly through recordings and television appearances.
In 1973, she decided to retire from entertainment and devote herself to her real passion the animal rights, which she continues today.
She created her own foundation in 1986.
During the 1990s, she published her autobiography and other books in which she spoke openly about her political views on such things as immigration and Islam in France, mixed marriages and homosexuality, which created considerable controversy.
She has angered many people who are part of these groups and was fined for incitation to racial hatred.
Bardot had four husbands and other romantic partners.
After her divorce from Vadim in 1957, she married actor Jacques Charrier in 1959, with whom she had her only child, a son Nicolas, born on 11 January 1960.
They divorced in 1962.
Her third husband, from 1966 to 1969, was German millionaire Gunter Sachs.
She has been married to Bernard d'Ormale, a right-wing political organizer, since 1992.

Changes from the book
Compared to the book, the Lord of the Rings movies differed in many ways.
The plot and motivation of the characters changed, and parts of the story were cut.
A few changes that many consider major include: "The Old Forest", "In the House of Tom Bombadil", and "Fog on the Barrow-Downs", from The Fellowship of the Ring; "Many Partings", "Homeward Bound", & "The Scouring of the Shire" from The Return of the King.
These were left out, and other passages changed, because of dramatic flow and practical limits on what could be presented in three movies.
The scripts are not exactly true to the story in the volumes of the book, yet have most of its most important elements.
Together the three movies were nominated for 30 Oscars at the Academy Awards.
They won 17 Oscars, 11 of which were for Return of the King.
The 3 movies cost 281 million dollars to make.
Much of the filming was done in New Zealand, but some areas were made using computers.
Each movie has a Special Extended Edition DVD which has a longer version of the movie.
Together the movies are longer than 11 hours.
All together the movies have more than 3,500 special effects.
Each movie was released a few weeks before Christmas in 2001, 2002, and 2003.
The movies made nearly 3 billion dollars.

A cameo role or cameo appearance (often shortened to just cameo) is a brief appearance of a known person in a work of the performing arts, such as plays, movies, video games and television.
Such a role does not have to be an actor: short appearances by movie directors, politicians, athletes, and other celebrities are common.
A cameo is a kind of small sculpture.
A cameo has an image in relief.
The image is often a different colour to the background.
An intaglio is the opposite of cameo.
Cameos with portraits of people were common in the jewellery of Classical Antiquity.
This type of cameo was also common in the Renaissance.
His roles included in the film Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961), and the television series The A-Team, where he was the leader of the group, who was often smoking a cigar.
Peppard had lung cancer and died of pneumonia on May 8, 1994 in Los Angeles.

The Golden Raspberry Awards or Razzies, first awarded in 1981, were made by John J. B. Wilson in 1980, with the goal of being the opposite of the Academy Awards by dishonoring the worst movies.
It is usually a plastic raspberry spray-painted gold and mounted on a plastic base, however Bill Cosby accepted a custom-made one made out of 24 carat (99.99%) gold and Italian marble.
Today, awards are voted by the membership of the "Golden Raspberry Award Foundation" (GRAF), and anyone can become a member of the foundation, something that does not happen with the Academy Awards.
Usually, nominations are made public one day before the Motion Picture Academy says its Oscar nominations, and the awards are presented one day before the Oscar ceremony.

Tropical Storm Tammy is the nineteenth named storm of the 2005 Atlantic hurricane season.
It peaked with 50 mph (85 km/h) just before making landfall on the northern Florida coast.
It moved north, peaking with 50 mph (85 km/h) winds jus before making landfall on Atlantic Beach, Florida on October 6 dissipating shortly after.
Tammy's remnants were absorbed by a cold front in the Gulf of Mexico.
A tropical wave left the African coast on September 24 and crossed the Atlantic without strengthening or changing.
But on October 2, the wave began to strengthen and organize itself while north of the Lesser Antilles.
It continued to strengthen as it moved through the Bahamas and early on October 5, it became a well-organized tropical disturbance off the coast of eastern Florida.
As the system already had tropical-storm force winds, it was immediately named Tropical Storm Tammy, also skipping tropical depression status.
The forecasts from the National Hurricane Center stated that Tammy would travel north possibly parallel to the coast, which also meant that it is uncertain where Tammy wold make landfall.
Tropical Storm Tammy strengthened a little bit more to its peak with 50 mph (85 km/h) winds before it made landfall near Atlantic Beach, Florida later that same day.
Tammy then moved inland over Georgia and soon weakened to a tropical depression before losing all of its strength on October 6.
The remnant low slowly movedsouth towards the Gulf of Mexico before being absorbed by a cold front (which also picked up the remnants of Subtropical Depression Twenty-two), which affected much of the northeastern United States over the next few days.
The NHC watched the system to see if any of the low level circulation would redevelop over the Gulf of Mexico but unfavorable upper-level winds did not allow any restrengthening, as it was predicted.
A tropical storm warning was given out at short notice for the coast from Cocoa Beach, Florida to the Santee River, South Carolina as soon as Tropical Storm Tammy formed on October 5.
Tammy moved inland the southern end of the warning zone, eventually moving north to Altamaha Sound, Georgia before all warnings were discontinued on October 6.
Tropical Storm Tammy caused minor damage.
The main concern with Tammy was flooding.
The highest sustained wind recorded with Tammy was 50 mph, reported a few miles northeast of the center.
The highest wind gust reported with Tammy was near 60 mph.
Several areas in northeast Florida and southern Georgia reported sustained winds of 40 mph+ due to Tammy's large wind field.
Rainfall totals related with Tammy were mostly in the 3-5 inch range, though some isolated amounts received 10 inches of rain.
In Georgia, Several homes were damaged because of flooding.
Also in Georgia, several roads were washed out and two pond dams were broken.
Storm surge related with Tammy was in the 2-4 feet range.
Many boardwalks were washed away and there was some beach erosion in Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina.
In addition to the flooding, an F0 tornado was reported, which caused moderate roof damage and broke trees in Brunswick, Georgia.
Total damages from Tammy was around $30 million (2005 USD).
16,500 people were reported in southeast Georgia without power during the height of the storm.
When Tropical Storm Tammy formed on October 5, it was the earliest ever in the season that the twentieth storm formed, breaking the previous record held by Storm 20 from 1933 by 21 days.
