THE WILLIAMS FAMILY: HOW WAS THEIR LIFE GROWING UP?
Robin Williams' was always a family man and, even though his love life wasn't too successful, he never let that get in the way of raising his kids according to his values.

ROBIN WILLIAMS' CHILDREN: WHAT IS THEIR LIFE LIKE?
Williams was responsible for raising his three children, who have since come forward to share how they handled the last months of their father's life, as well as remember how their relationships were like while growing up. So, who are the kids that came from this beloved actor?

MEET ZACHARY PRYNN WILLIAMS: PROUD FATHER AND ADVOCATE TO HELP OTHERS LIKE HIS DAD
Zachary "Zak" Prynne Williams was born in 1983 to Williams' and his first wife, Valerie Velardi. Even though Zak tried to follow his father's footsteps into acting and even got credited in "The Graduates" movie from 2008, he has left this side of his career behind. He is currently a mental-health advocate and founder of a technology start-up.

Zak and his fiancée, Olivia June, welcomed a son this year, named McLaurin Clement Williams. Recently he became the face of PYM, a dietary supplement for mental health. "I've worked with several mental-health nonprofits, and it was really crucial for me when it came to my activity in the private sector to align with what I felt was my life's mission."

ZAK WILLIAMS' DAUGHTER: THE FIRST WILLIAMS GRANDAUGHTER
Almost 6 years after Robin Williams passed away, his oldest son Zak welcomed his first child. McLaurin Clement Williams — whose first name was Robin Williams' middle name — was born weighing 8 lbs. and measuring 20½ inches. As a memoir to his father, Zak opted to name his daughter after him.

WHAT DID ZAK HAVE TO SAY ABOUT HIS FATHER?
"Being Robin Williams' son was wonderful in so many ways [but] having to share him with the world was hard at times," Zak confessed. "When he was having challenges and going through certain things, it was heartbreaking, because he still went out and wanted to share his feelings of laughter and humor with the world."
"And, while he was suffering and struggling, he still went out and performed. I admire him and loved him. [...] For the most part, he was very good at putting his personal struggles aside and soldiering on. When it did show through, it was sad to see someone who was suffering," the entrepreneur continued.
MEET ZELDA WILLIAMS: THE PRINCESS OF HER FATHER'S EYES
Named after Princess Zelda from the video game series "The Legend of Zelda", she is the second child and only daughter from Robin Williams. She was born during his second marriage with Marsha Graces on July 31st, 1989, and she has pursued a career in acting just like her dad, having been credited for the series "Dead of Summer".

"I didn't really grow up in the spotlight [...] so for me, we were already kind of together and close. And so I just kept going, 'OK, well, today I'm going to get up and love what I do. And then tomorrow I'm going to wake up and be happy and love what I do. [...]'" she said about her childhood.

WHAT DID ZELDA HAVE TO SAY ABOUT HER FATHER?
Zelda opened up about her father's death, "I was kind of left to my own devices and a lot of stuff came out of that because I ended up writing 12 scripts. [...] I was also like, 'Is there something wrong with me?' [...] I didn't see a lot of daylight for a while. But now I'm doing a lot more of that!"

"It was very funny because, for a while, no one would let me do anything. I think there's that reaction of like, 'Oh, are you OK?' And then even if you are OK, they're like, 'Well, what's wrong?' For a while, I was just kind of left to my own devices," she continued.

MEET CODY WILLIAMS: THE BABY OF THE FAMILY
Cody is Williams' youngest child, born from his second marriage, on November 25th, 1991. Along with his father and siblings, Cody chose a career in cinematography, however, he has opted for a different path - working mostly as an assistant director and second unit type of work.
Image Credits: Getty Images / L. Busacca / WireImage | Cody Williams and actor Robin Williams attend "A Magical Evening" hosted by The Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation at The Marriott Marquis on November 12, 2007 in New York City.
Cody was credited with working in films such as "Ant-Man", "Captain America: Civil War" and "Spider-Man: Homecoming". He has recently married his long term partner Maria Flores on a celebration that took place on what would be his father's 68th birthday. According to his sister, the date has a lot of different meanings to the family.

ROBIN WILLIAMS' LEGACY: WHAT DID HE LEAVE FOR HIS CHILDREN?
While his kids were still growing up, Robin set up trust funds to help out all three of his children, which were to be acted upon independently of Robin's death. According to the documents, each child would 1/3 of the share at age 21, half of what remained at 25, and their full share at 30.
However, this was not the only legacy that Williams left for his kids. "Williams brought smiles and laughter to sick children. He visited kids battling cancer one-on-one and signed autographs at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital," and it seems that his children are following the same path, who are currently involved in several charity programs.

HIS WIFE SUSAN ALSO WANTED TO TAKE HER PART
Due to his previous experiences with the courtroom and legal cases, it is possible that Williams sensed something was going to happen. In 2012, he updated his living trust where he clarified that should he pass away, Schneider would be allowed to remain living in their house, as well as use the trust to pay for her expenses.

According to this document, his children would inherit most of his possessions, from money to jewelry, and even awards. Nevertheless, Schneider still opted to take a case to court to claim more money as she believed that she was not receiving enough to sustain her lifestyle. Both parties used mediation and finally (and luckily) reached a settlement.

BUT SUSAN WAS NOT THE ONLY WOMAN IN ROBINS' LIFE!
Throughout his life, Williams has been associated with quite a few women. He dated some and married some, however, his love affairs were not always happy. But who were the women that managed to take a little place in this comedians' heart? Let's find out!

ELAINE BOOSLER: THE FELLOW COMEDIAN
Elaine Boosler is considered to be Williams' first romantic affair that made it to the public. The two comedians lived together between 1977 and 1978 in a shared house in Los Angeles. After his passing, she took to Twitter to share "[...] All was possible, hopeful, happy, new, & he did get there. RIP."

VALERIE VELARDI: THE FIRST WIFE
Shortly after Robin had his fling with Elaine, he met Valerie Velardi in 1976 while she was working as a waitress and he was a bartender. Robin was already dabbling in his comedian career, and Velardi's interest in this field made the two become closer.

She was one of the people that helped Williams develop his act and convinced him to pursue a professional career as a comedian in Los Angeles. In 1978, the couple got married, and with the help of his wife Williams landed his first role in a movie in 1980 when the two worked together in "Popeye".

MICHELLE TISH CARTER: AN AFFAIR
While Velardi and Williams seemed to be a happy couple and had a son together, the reality wasn't what it seemed. In 1984 Williams met cocktail waitress Michelle Tish Carter, with whom he had an affair. He and his wife seemed to get through this hic-up, however, it wasn't for long, as Robin then decided to pursue another woman.

MARSHA GRACES WILLIAMS: THE NANNY & SECOND WIFE
In 1988, Williams and Velardi got divorced, and just one year later he got married to Marsha Graces Williams, who used to be their son's nanny. The pair had two children together and their marriage lasted for almost two decades until Marsha filed for a divorce in 2008, which took two years to be finalized.

Even though the press made it look like Williams cheated on his then-wife, Velardi, with Marsha, the truth is that the couple had already been separated for one year before Marsha and Williams' relationship ended. According to some statements, Velardi opened up about this, thus confirming that the press was wrong about the matter.

SUSAN SCHNEIDER: THE THIRD WIFE
Just a few months after his divorce, Robin Williams met who would end up being his third and last wife, Susan Scheider. The next year, by March 2009, Robin would go through heart surgery, and Schneider took the responsibility of helping him recover once he returned to his home in California. The couple dated until 2011 and ended up getting married on October 22nd.

The pair lived together for three years, until August 2014, when Robin passed away. Schneider has come public many times since then, to express how she handled her husband's disease and explaining how it was like [someone else] inside Williams' brain. Following Williams' death, Schneider has spoken many times about their love life and how she can't forget his last words.

WHAT WERE THE LAST WORDS ROBIN SPOKE TO SUSAN?
The night before his passing, on August 10th, Robin and his wife Susan had the normal routine they have shared for years. Susan has since shared how this impacted her, "When we retired for sleep, in our customary way, my husband said to me, 'Goodnight, my love,' and waited for my familiar reply: 'Goodnight, my love.'"
Image Credits: Getty Images / Michael Loccisano | Actor/comedian Robin Williams attends the after party for opening night of "Bengal Tiger At The Baghdad Zoo" at Espace on March 31, 2011 in New York City.
She confessed that since that night, "His words still echo through my heart today. Monday, August 11, Robin was gone." She was heartbroken, and shared her thoughts, "I lost my husband and my best friend, while the world lost one of its most beloved artists and beautiful human beings." Williams is one of those actors who will forever be missed.
Even after years have gone since his death, Robin Williams is still missed by many, and is still looking out for his children and those who loved him, as well as giving back to the community! Hopefully, the Williams family will keep growing and we will be here to read all about it! What do you think about the paths his kids have chosen?

Amy Carlson's Departure From Blue Bloods: Little-known Details


A successful day for Mia Electric today, because its all three of its vehicles got the qualification for the 'Plug-In Car' and 'Plug-In Van' Grants. The Office for Low Emissions Vehicles (OLEV) determined that mia electric's vehicles meet all the safety, reliability, performance and warranty standards necessary for the UK market. The Mia-U is currently on trial with a major UK company that is considering the switch to electric for its sizeable fleet of commercial vans. The vehicle is designed specifically for inner-city environments and commercial vehicles account for a significant proportion of traffic in urban areas. On the other hand, the Mia box van is a key component of the product range and mia electric is considering bringing it to the UK market later this year. Cars and vans are vital people's lives. Moroever, the climate change is a global challenge and it can not be ignored.
To go further into details, the cars come in three configurations – the standard short wheelbase model and two extended models, the Mia L and the Mia box van. The standard design concept Mia-U has a light-weight body and weighs only 765kg (extended models weigh 786kg). More importantly it has extremely economical power consumption and low running costs - approximately £1.30 per 100 kms. All three vehicles are powered by an 18kW electric motor at the rear of the car. The tops speed of the vehicle is 68 mph (100km/h), and a 120 to 130km range is available from the 12 kWh battery pack that comes as standard and the lithium iron phosphate batteries. The latter can be fully charged in five hours. This battery system is exceptionally safe and helps alleviate range anxiety by allowing "no memory effect" charging. To be more precise, the battery can be charged for short top-up periods with absolutely no adverse effect to the life of the battery. The standard short wheelbase Mia-U includes three seats in total, while the extended Mia L has four. Mia box van features a cargo capacity of 1,500 litres. The most interesting part of all three vehicles is the central driving position. With this design innovation, the driver can get in and out of the car on both sides. Moreover, this provides the driver with a perfect view of the city traffic and gives the cabin a unique office-style layout.
Mia's standard short wheelbase model (Mia-U) will retail at approximately £21 000 and the two extended models, the Mia L and the Mia box van, will both retail at approximately £22 000.


Hello , due to start this September. Just a few questions I need answering for the misses .
What are the tour rotation s . I know the 4-3 one. It's just been told sometimes you don't do 4 away but more like a few weeks . This true ?
And also the wage after an apprenticeship as I'm taking quite a pay cut to join rfa .
You doing the engineering ?
Nope, communications technician. However we all need to get through Raleigh first.
Hope someone comes along and answers your origin query.
Never seen that coming. Do you mind if I dm you a few questions?
I think one of you is joining the RN, one of you is joining the RFA.
Hopefully you know which one is which.
Interesting question - I am trying to find out too!
And what time do you spend at sea as an apprentice?
As an app you do a 4 month trip after completing Raleigh and your sea survival/firefighting at Portsmouth. We had 5 weeks off after these courses before we joined our first ship.
After that trip you go back to Raleigh for 4 weeks - phase 2 training. This may be straight after leaving the ship or you may get a few weeks of as the courses only run 3 times a year at Raleigh. After Phase 2 you then get a month off before your next 4 month trip.
You should be able to get all your tickets signed off on this second trip and, assuming you've passed Phase 2, be offered a contract at the end of the second trip.
This will be dependent on the ships programme and what you've got signed off on your task book.
As for pay! It's pretty poor. £14,500 for the first 12 months then it increases by about a Grand in the second year. Guys are clearing about £1066 a month after tax and pension in their first year.
It's worth the pain though, I'm what's called "living the dream"
PS this is app Deck!
Sorry Bob but I'm on the App Deck course. You do a lot longer at Sultan than our 10 weeks I think it's about 30 something! Every weekend off though.
The sea survival/firefighting is a week and half at HMS Excellent on Whale island in Pompey.
Then it's to sea but I can't tell you any more than that.
Pay is the same though.

The White Helmets

At one point in this film, a character looks up at the sky, expecting the inevitable sound of approaching bombs. It's a really poignant moment and encapsulates why this is such an important film to watch. For most of us, the reality is peace - for them, daily, it's war and incessant bombing. The White Helmets, the Syrian heroes who go in to save civilians, are given real heart in this short documentary. But their life of heroics is brutally brought to life by the footage they film themselves in Aleppo. It clearly shows us that what the White Helmets do is not just heroic but also necessary. A really important film to see for all those who are sick of the politics.
After five years of war, over 400,000 Syrians have been killed and millions more have fled their homes. Hundreds of bombs are dropped on hospitals and schools in rebel-held areas of Syria.In response to the attacks, the Syrian Civil Defense — also known as the White Helmets — are a group of volunteer rescue workers that rush in to try and save people amid the ruins as bombs continue to fall. Their motto: "To save a life is to save all of humanity."

6 Business Buzzwords Translated by CEO Ryan Wilson
By Joshua Kraus
Perhaps you fell asleep during a meeting and woke to a heated discussion about "paradigm shifts." Maybe you've read through one too many job postings that are searching for "rock stars."
Buzzwords like these are often seen as meaningless and ornamental, but to many employers, such jargon is shorthand for a range of important business ideologies. Whether you're an employee, a client or a job hunter, understanding the meaning behind these words can help you navigate the intricate workings of the corporate world.
To reach a better understanding of the following buzzwords, I spoke to Ryan Wilson, CEO of the Denver-based digital marketing agency FiveFifty. Wilson has founded three businesses, and his entrepreneurial expertise coupled with his managerial experience has provided him with valuable insight on the subject.
To anyone who's ever dreamed of becoming a rock star, you're in luck. These days, rock stars are in high demand, although any shredding you do will be of the paper variety.
"Rock stars are people who do more than what is asked for," Wilson said. "They consistently exceed expectations and really take ownership of the things they're doing."
Like go-getters and self-starters, rock stars rise above the call of duty and are able take initiative with minimal supervision. Rock stars don't wait to be told what to do, they anticipate what needs doing, and they do it.
If a company is hiring rock stars, you might infer that the company favors a more hands off management style. In this type of work environment, the employer tends to place a greater amount of responsibility on the individual, and the work culture is more goal oriented than task oriented.
In the business world, transparency refers to the clarity, accuracy and volume of information a company discloses to outsiders.
"We're fully transparent," Wilson said about FiveFifty. "We believe that if we can be transparent with our clients about what we're doing for them, they'll make better decisions and trust us longer term."
Businesses like FiveFifty trumpet their transparency, and view it as a value-add. But other businesses take the opposite approach, and keep a tight lid on internal intelligence.
"A lot of companies in our space operate in a black box sort of style," Wilson said. "They'll do a campaign and take the learnings of the campaign internally, and never share that with the clients."
How big is "big data," and how do we measure said data's "bigness?"
Perhaps the answer lies in the words themselves. Big describes something of considerable size, and data refers to facts, figures and statistics. Big data, then, must be a considerably sized collection of facts, figures and statistics.
Well that doesn't help.
Fortunately, Wilson offered a simple and sensible answer: "My definition is that big data is anything that is too complex to consume without the assistance of tools."
A marketing agency translating the web analytics of a recent campaign into improvement strategies, a hospital analyzing patient records to predict which patients are likely to be readmitted, hotels looking at weather and flight cancellation information to increase bookings by targeting stranded travelers – these are all examples of big data in action and serve as a reminder that big data equals big money.
Don't take this buzzword lightly.
Corporate sustainability isn't focused solely on environmental concerns. Rather, it encompasses the management of environmental, social and financial risks and opportunities.
"A sustainable business is not something that's completely trendy, it's something institutional," Wilson said. He went on to describe the difference between a non-sustainable business and a sustainable one as the difference between riding a very short wave and having a wind behind your back.
Sustainable businesses last.
They can weather economic storms and passing fads. In a way, a sustainable business is a recession-proof business.
Incorporating sustainability into a brand reassures clients, investors and other external stakeholders that getting into bed with the company will pay off.
The corporate dictionary is littered with edges. There's cutting-edge, leading edge and of course, edge, as in, "our marketing campaign needs an edge or we're never going to sell this whipped cream-flavored pepperoni!" Bleeding edge is the newest addition to the family.
"Bleeding edge is something corporate people use to describe something too risky to try," Wilson said. "It might be a great thing, but it's too new."
Bleeding edge is most often associated with medicine and technology and can be applied to anything from untested software to new cancer drugs. Wilson cites SpaceX, Elon Musk's orbital rocket launch company, as a recent example.
"Getting on a commercial space flight is bleeding edge right now. It's probably really fun, but there's probably a good chance you'd die."
A paradigm shift is a fundamental change in how an industry operates and is typically the result of a significant social, technological or economical development.
"Every sort of market has paradigm shifts, whether the market is changing the company or the company is changing the market," Wilson said.
Wilson offers Uber, the mobile-app based taxi service, as an example.
By streamlining the payment process, creating thousands of new jobs and making it easier than ever for people to find rides, Uber radically altered the landscape of the transportation industry. Because of this paradigm shift, transportation services are now having to rethink their business model in order to stay competitive.
While they're easy to poke fun at, buzzwords are essentially distillations of fundamental business concepts, strategies and principles. Familiarizing yourself with the buzzwords in your industry will give you a greater understanding of the industry, the company and the expectations of its employees.

First things first, if you got the LOTR reference that is the title of this post, we should likely be friends. If you didn't get it, and also have no idea what LOTR is, we can still be friends but you'll for sure have to get some serious schooling in nerd 101. But for real, this trend really is the one to rule them all and I think I can get an amen from all my girls out there that this trend is here to stay. Enter: the beloved one piece suit.
Yes, the one piece has been around for ages (duh). But only in the last few years have we seen such an increase in the amount of stylish suits available. Hallelujah, sister! Why does this cause me so much excitement? Well, let me tell you. I'm all about rockin' it in your bikini, but you know what I'm also all about? Burritos. One shouldn't have to limit themselves to choose between two such sacred things because you're nervous about feeling a tad bloated after such deliciousness. That's what these magical pieces of fabric are for. So own that burrito (and margarita) and pull out your favorite one piece and own that ish girl.
Another added benefit? One pieces can 100% moonlight as tops tucked into your favorite pair of cutoffs while on the island (or any beach, or your backyard. You do do, sugar.) Actually, anything goes on the island. I think I lived in this exact "outfit" with a rotating one piece for 90% of our trip. My routine went something like this: wake up, shake out beach hair, repeat outfit, iced coffee, sunshine, read (and then read some more). Ohhh man do I miss that already. Shoutout to Maui for legit being one of the more heavenly places on this planet.
I've listed a ton of my favorites below, that are similar to the one I'm wearing. This plunging piece I'm wearing is from Asos, and unfortunately just sold out (I'll make sure to update y'all if it comes back in stock because it is actually life changing.) That being said, you may just find one below that scratches that island fever you're feeling. Don't think I left out the fun print on this one, though. You'll absolutely find a few that totally nail the palm leaf print which is just about everywhere these days (another trend I can absolutely get on board with!) Palm leaves remind me of beaches. Beaches make me happy. It's usually quite sunny at said beaches. Sun makes me happy…therefore, palm leafs = happiness. Simplest math I've ever done.
Sidebar: moments after this little beachy photo session (shoutout to the best photographer in the land, my husband!) we witnessed a whalepod SO close to the shore. I'm talking close enough that if you were feeling a bit daring, you could likely swim out to it. WHAT THE WHAT! We live in Seattle (where Orca's are quite common) and we've been to Maui before, and I have NEVER witnessed whales that were this close to the shore for that long. Luckily, they were safe and sound and not too close that they would be in any danger.
P.S. the sunnies I'm wearing in the above photos are Karen Walker dupes, and are LESS THAN $10! EXCLAMATION. UNDERLINE. EXCITEMENT. Seriously though, they. are. amazing. Get them here.
What are some of your summer must haves? Share with me in the comments or use #CurateThatMoment with me over on Instagram!
Oh my gosh! I love all these suits! I'm in serious need of adding a couple one pieces to my bikini collection this year! Thanks for all the great finds.
Love the bathing suit and thanks for the inspiration! I recently just got THE cutest summer sun hat that says Hello Summer on it from the BP department at Nordstrom!
Wow that one-piece is an absolute show stopper! And these shots are AMAZING, you look stunning!
I love this suit. It's so pretty! One pieces are so much more flattering than tankinis.
Great post. A one piece is so easy to wear and doubles as a top and swimsuit in one. I had this one polka dot suit that I loved. It was so stylish.
That is a really gorgeous one-piece swim suit!
I am all about the one pieces this year!! I have that tassel one from ASOS and it's so cute!
I'm so into tropical prints right now. I hope it's not a phase! That suit is gorgeous!
i love one pieces and these are all so cute!
I need one of these I love the palm leaves!!!
I'm all about the one piece suits these days. These ones are so nice.
This suit is so cute! I love the print! I recently wore a one piece while on vacation and I was surprisingly comfortable! I used to view them so negatively but it was fun to be care free and not have to worry about everything being out lol.
You're speaking my language girl!
I love the colors in this suit! And I really like that it has the plunging neckline without revealing too much!
YES, it was like a unicorn of a suit!

Surrounding Our Lady are the words "O Mary conceived without sin pray for us who have recourse to Thee." The pendant measures 1" and comes in a Gift box. The back of the medal contains the traditional Miraculous medal insignia.
My miraculous medal arrived in a timely manner and was just what I had been looking for.


For a long time, information security has been a war between men but recently it has become a battle between man and machine. The development of artificial intelligence is slowly moving this fight into a new environment: machine versus machine, carefully directed by scientists or hackers. If you were picturing action filled AI vs AI battles, that's only in Hollywood movies for now, but things can change in a matter of years due to Moore's Law.
A study from 2016 uncovered that information theft is the primary concern of companies. Yet, over half of them (58%) don't have the necessary systems in place to detect a sophisticated attack, which is explained by the fact that 42% don't have a threat detection program and 18% have no information security strategy at all.
These numbers look alarming when thinking about the types of attacks being developed. Autonomous malware is constructed using machine learning, and it can infiltrate a system, collect and broadcast data about that system and remain undetected for days. This type of computer threat is called adaptive malware. It is dangerous because it can be trained to act like a soldier: recognize premises, lock on target and wait for the best moment to strike. It becomes even more dangerous when it is not platform-dependent, and it can switch between devices connected to a joint account, like a Google or Apple master account.
As John Barnett highlights, the increasingly large number of interconnected devices created a microenvironment that gathers enough sensitive data about a household or a user to constitute a time-ticking bomb. Just imagine if even your fitness band could be an entry gate into your personal life or a company's POS could represent a weak point in the network.
The most dangerous threat of handing over security to AI systems is the magnitude of damage that may happen during a breach. While current solutions focus on preventing attacks or patching the harm, in the event of an AI hacking another AI system, the loss would be in a different magnitude class. The explanation resides in the fact that machine learning systems use data to learn. Hacking through such a system gives malware the opportunity to either reverse engineer the path of the original system or even access data.
Although informatics systems are prone to failure and attacks, they are a necessary help to overwhelmed security engineers. There is a growing shortage of cyber security specialists, and the mix of high-value actions and routine tasks should be divided between man and machine. Computers are expected to automatically perform daily tasks like analyzing network traffic, granting access based on some set of rules and detecting abnormalities, while the cyber security specialists can work on designing algorithms and studying emerging threats.
Removing false positives is also one of the main tasks that require human assistance and one of the reasons why AI is not ready to take over security completely.
Cyber threats have become more and more complex. Just gathering data about attacks like data breaches, malware types, and phishing activity and creating signatures is no longer enough. The new approach is to monitor a wide number of factors and identify patterns of what constitutes normal and abnormal activity, without looking for specific traces of a particular malicious activity, but for spikes or silent moments.
Some companies even pair this with other AI-powered tools including natural language processing to speed up this process. Staying a step ahead of hackers will be increasingly difficult, as predictive analysis can be tricked with randomization.
Learning from nature is effective not only in engineering but in cyber security as well. The body's immune system is one of the best defensive lines in the living world. AI could be trained to behave like the white cells and antibodies, neutralizing threats that are not according to the known patterns without shutting down the whole system. This approach could be the cure to the adaptive malware previously discussed. The system learns from past experiences and becomes stronger, just like an organism that has been exposed to the diseases, and overcomes it.
Cybersecurity powered by AI is just the natural step in protecting vulnerable data. The race between those aiming to create safe systems and attackers is crossing into new territory, but machines are far away from taking the lead. Currently, both parties are restructuring their data and integrating systems. There are numerous corrective actions necessary from humans. This is a process, composed of multiple layers, not a one-time action. The defining factor remains the education of the humans involved, first as users then as protectors.

What is GunBound?
GunBound is a turn-based room-to-room multiplayer online game with similar features to the popular game Worms. Even though the international audience compare it with Worms, it actually had huge inspirations from the 1999 game called 'Fortress 2' also known as 'Fortress 2 Blue Forever' which was hosted in Korea only.
Which version of GunBound is this?
We'll be running the very last version of the first major release, known as 'Thor's Hammer'. This was before the 'World Champion' version, which ran through 2003 to 2005.
Why Thor's Hammer and not World Champion?
We prefer the old school version of GunBound, which is Thor's Hammer. World Champion made changes we are not very happy with, including the user interface. We have no plans to run World Champion.
Which mobiles are available?
All the original 16 mobiles, where Knight and Dragon are by random only. Kalsiddon and Frog were introduced in World Champion, and thus are not available.
What's the difference between your Thor's Hammer version over other Thor's Hammer servers?
We have full background support, full power user support, ice s2 display, a more stable client, and many more!
How will donations work?
We have no plans yet to enable donations.
Which avatars are available?
We'll start with the avatars that were available in Thor's Hammer, which means the Old School sets like Chief Hair and the 'Punk hair money' set. We'll add new avatars in the future once the important things are done!
Which servers will be available?
We'll start with only one server, an avatar OFF server. In this server avatar stats are not applied except gold bonuses.
Does this server run on MAC?
Yes! You can download the MAC client by clicking the drop down menu of the download button.
Will there be any kind of 'Drag Stabilizer'?
Drag stabilizer is a term that orginated from an other Private Server. It removes the challenge of Drag where it 'moves' around if you take too long. We have no plans to add any sort of 'Drag Stabilizer'.

Jyoti Sahi is a prolific artist who runs an art ashram in Silvepura Village outside Bangalore in southern India. His paintings are infused with Christian spirituality, often depicting biblical narratives set on Indian soil.
Jyoti Sahi (Indian, 1944–), Lord as Ladder of Perfection, 2014. Oil on canvas.
Lord as Ladder of Perfection references Jacob's dream from Genesis 28:10–22, wherein Jacob witnesses angels descending and ascending a cosmic ladder. This vision resurfaces in the New Testament, when heaven opens and angels are seen pressing in on the Son of Man (John 1:51), ministering to him in his passion and then heralding his resurrection.
By entwining Jesus in this ladder from Genesis, Sahi suggests that Jesus himself is our ladder—the One who connects earth to heaven, heaven to earth. By him, we can access God.
We are meant to identify with the figure in the bottom left corner of the painting, whose gender is deliberately ambiguous. In this figure you might see Jacob, or, as one friend pointed out to me, perhaps you see Mary Magdalene, who is often shown in art weeping at the foot of the cross and is traditionally understood to be the "sinful woman" who anoints Jesus's feet with expensive perfume and tears in Luke 7:37–38. Either way, we are invited into the painting by this bent body, invited to worship Christ.
The cosmic implications of Jesus's mediating role are suggested in a few ways. First, Jesus's left leg is lifted in the pose of Nataraja ("Lord of the Dance"), an embodiment of the Hindu god Shiva. Nataraja's dance destroys all obstacles on the path to liberation and prepares the universe for renewal, and here Jesus is grafted into that iconography. He dances, and the world is transformed.
Moreover, the four elements are present: earth, wind, fire, water. Earth forms the base of the painting, where the ladder, treelike, is rooted. Wind sweeps down in the form of a dove, the Holy Spirit. Fire burns at the bottom right, a biblical symbol for cleansing and refining, and appears to be setting aflame a bush, a reminder for us to be attentive to God's call, as Moses was. Straight down the center, water bursts forth from Christ's side wound, a river of life that washes over the worshipper.
At the top, the ladder branches out and flowers.
Painted in 2014, Lord as Ladder of Perfection reminds me of the traditional hymn "Jacob's Vision," which likewise identifies the ladder of Jacob's dream with the crucified Christ. I wrote about the hymn here—in particular, the beautiful cello-accompanied rendition sung by Ralph Stanley, who passed away on Thursday. I enjoy listening to it while I gaze at Sahi's painting, as the two interpret each other.
Theologically speaking, the ladder is a very complicated image. On the one hand, it tends to be tied to Neoplatonic ideas about climbing out of the physical world towards the eternal. Physical things are okay, but are thought of sort of like a ladder that can be kicked away once one has reached the higher realms. Since Christ is not only the means to God, but also the one with whom we are united, the ladder-image is probably one with which we should be careful. However, on the other hand, these sorts of Neoplatonic ideas have been adopted by Christianity. I can't think of any references to Christ as ladder specifically, though I think it's implied/assumed in thinkers like Augustine and Pseudo Dionysius. The difference though, is that Christ is a ladder that both goes up to God and kenotically descends and enables his followers to do the same (which is of course congruent with Jacob's dream of the angels travelling up and down the ladder)!


"After 20 years of therapy and personal development, I thought I knew who I was. But Sati has shown me that I have much more to explore, understand and experience. With great acuity, presence and proficiency she challenges my fears and patterns of insecurity so that I can find new pieces of myself which leads me to live my life with greater freedom. I am unmeasurably thankful that our fine and challenging sessions have given me a whole new experience of life."
"Twenty years ago, when I was a stressed out municipal employee, I met Sati. As a yogateacher she then helped me to stop and listen inward. I found power and creativity which lead to me starting my own company. A few years later, when life challenged me, Coach Sati showed me new tools to understand and develop myself. When life hands you lemons Sati is a clear, empathetic and unsentimental guide who gives energy to do what is necessary. Also when life is sunny Sati is a wonderful coach and lifeteacher. She does not pat your back but helps you untangle the knots for which I am ever thankful."
"I can greatly recommend Sati as a coach, she has helped me in a wonderful way! Her extensive competence is unusual and she uses it, like a CSI, to find her way to the core of the problem. Her closeness to laughter and ability to work with focus and seriousness makes working with her both meaningful and fun! I am much more confident because of the help I have got."
"The coaching with Sati made me verbalize both my personal and professional processes and to distinguish between the both of them. That distinction, together with a greater understanding of my strengths and needs, has led to more calmness and clarity for me as a person. This has greatly amplified my ability do deliver professionally!"
"The coaching with Sati started out as a contact to help me with problems with my exwife. But it has since then become something that is about me and for me"
"I warmly recommend coaching with Sati. She sees the big picture, dares to ask challenging questions that makes you think and find better and deeper insights. Sati has a holistic view of people that comes from her different fields of knowledge. This has been very good for me and my own challenges in both body and mind."
"Being a businessowner is being a jack of all trades. Sometimes not all pieces of the puzzle fits together in the way you wish and it was during such a time that I came in contact with Sati. She has helped me move along with my business through her great knowledge and understanding about running companies. That, together with her coachingcompetence becomes very effective. She makes me become concious of and uplift my difficulties and find onward paths."
"In Sati's coaching I am reminded of and always guided back to my powerzone, where I make the best decisions for myself. Sati is always adaptable in her coaching, she accommodates and raises the bar so that I grow and develop all the time. The sessions are rewarding and held in a dialogue where the tone is friendly, intelligent and occasionally humoristic. This stimulates my intellect and heart in an expansive way. I can really recommend Sati as a coach!"

Hamilton, Tom
Tom Hamilton
Sport: Media
2022 marked the 33rd season of calling Cleveland Guardians baseball games on the radio for this Waterloo, WI, native. Since he joined Herb Score in the radio booth in 1990, Tom Hamilton has called all 94 postseason games the Cleveland franchise has played in that span, including three World Series (1995, 1997 and 2016). His 33-year tenure is tied with Rick Manning on TV, and the second longest in franchise history next to Score (34 years). Tom, joined in the radio booth with Jim Rosenhaus, calls the action and commentary for all 162 regular season games and 15 spring training contests on Newsradio WTAM 1100, 100.7 FM WMMS, and the 30-station Cleveland Clinic Guardians Radio Network.
Tom arrived in Cleveland after three seasons calling AAA Columbus Clippers action, the top farm club of the New York Yankees (1987-89). He started his broadcasting career calling minor league games across Wisconsin, as well as University of Wisconsin football games and University of Colorado basketball games. Tom called Big Ten basketball on television for 25 years. He is a member of the Press Club of Cleveland's Hall of Fame and is a seven-time recipient of the Ohio Sportscaster of the Year Award (1997, 2000, '01, '04, '06, '13, and '16).

Ferguson, Howard
Howard Ferguson
Coach Howard Ferguson transformed St. Edward High School wrestling into the most dominant program in Ohio's history in 1974 and continuing long after his death to the present day.
Ferguson, who began wrestling at John Marshall High School under hall of fame coach Gene Gibbons, turned to coaching in the 1960s at the West Shore YMCA. In seven years his YMCA teams compiled an incredible dual meet record of 138-2, which caught the attention of St. Edward High School.
He was handed the reigns of St. Edward wrestling in 1974 and almost immediately turned the Eagles into a powerhouse. In 15 seasons from 1974 through the spring of 1989, St. Ed's won 11 team state championships. His wrestlers won 32 individual state championships and 20 runners-up. He produced one 3-time state champion and four 2-time state champions.
In college, his wrestlers captured three NCAA individual titles. Thirteen were college All-Americans a total of 26 times. At one time or another Howard's alumni wore the singlets of nine of the original Big Ten teams.
Both the wrestling world and business world were shocked when Howard died of a heart attack in the prime of his career in October 1989. In his alternate life he became a millionaire in real estate. He was a pioneer in converting high-rise apartment houses into condominiums.
He also authored an acclaimed coffee-table book called "The Edge," an accumulation of the quotes, beliefs and life lessons of the leading coaches and athletes of the day. The book was published not long before he died and is still in demand. It is out of print but can be located on e-bay for as much as $150.
In one of the final passages of the book, under the heading, "Leave something behind," he wrote about his own principles:
"You can never pay back those who helped you. What you can do is follow their example and help others. Help some people get started. Teach them how to play the game the right way. Teach them about class. Show them how to overcome adversity. Take all your knowledge, experience and love and share it. Reach out to as many people as you can."

Hubbard, DeHart
DeHart Hubbard
Sport: Track & Field
William DeHart Hubbard was the epitome of the unsung hero. Only a close inspection of the record books reveal the remarkable accomplishments of a true historical figure.
At the 1924 Olympics in Paris, Hubbard became the first African American to win a gold medal in an individual event when he won the long jump, notching a leap of 24 feet, 5.5 inches on his sixth and final attempt. That international stage was only part of his legacy.
A standout athlete and student at Walnut Hills High School in Cincinnati, Hubbard had to withstand the racism of the day, but did secure admission to the University of Michigan. The Wolverines benefited as he went on to become a three-time NCAA champion and seven-time Big 10 champion in track and field.
In 1925, Hubbard set the world long jump record with a leap of 25 feet, 10.75 inches. A year later, he tied the world record in the 100-yard dash at 9.6 seconds.
In perspective, Hubbard's little-known status can be summed up in his Big 10 record of 25 feet, 3.5 inches set in 1925. It stood until heralded Jesse Owens broke it in 1935. The men would become friends years later when Hubbard left Cincinnati for Cleveland in 1942 to work for the Federal Housing Authority until retirement in 1969.
In 1948, Hubbard told The Plain Dealer of his Paris gold medal. "I was determined to become the first of my race to be an Olympic champion and I was just as determined to break the world (long jump) record," said Hubbard.
Hubbard was named to the National Track Hall of Fame in 1957 and was posthumously selected in the second class of the University of Michigan Hall of Honor in 1979.
"He was not a boisterous person," said friend and gold medalist Harrison Dillard of Cleveland. "There was a sense of gentleman about him."
A longtime bowler, Hubbard was president of the National Bowling Association in the 1950s and was a founder of the baseball Cincinnati Tigers of the Negro American League.
Hubbard died in Cleveland at age 72 on June 23, 1976. The William DeHart Hubbard Scholarship Fund was established in 2010 through the University of Michigan.

Gund, Gordon
Gordon Gund
The Gund Family has always meant a lot to Cleveland. Its Gund Foundation was at the forefront of the area's philanthropic organizations.
But Gordon Gund, along with brother, George, will also be credited for salvaging professional basketball in Northeast Ohio by purchasing the Cleveland Cavaliers in 1983. The team had been rumored for a possible move to Toronto.
Under Gordon Gund, the Cavaliers established themselves as playoff contenders, with fan loyalty at the Richfield Coliseum remaining strong when the team relocated to the new Gund Arena in 1994. The franchise consistently ranked among the NBA's leaders in attendance as stability remained consistent.
With the drafting of LeBron James in 2003, the popularity of the team soared. Although he sold controlling interest of the team 2005, Gund remained a minority owner and was able to enjoy the satisfaction of the 2016 NBA championship.
The Gund's also owned the WNBA's Cleveland Rockers women's basketball team.
While the stint was brief, the Gunds owned the NHL's Cleveland Barons for the 1977-78 season before the club was merged with the North Stars and moved to Minnesota. Gordon was a partial owner of the expansion San Jose Sharks in 1991, selling his share of that team in 2002.
A 1961 graduate of Harvard University, he was Chairman and CEO of Gund Investment Corporation, based in Princeton, N.J., since 1968.
In dealing with personal health issues, he was the co-founder and Chairman Emeritus of the Foundation Fighting Blindness of Columbia, MD. The national non-profit organization is dedicated to seeking the causes, treatments and/or cures for retinitis pigmentosa, age-related macular degeneration and associated degenerative diseases.
Gordon Gund became a noted sculptor, working meticulously in bronze and clay. Along with wife, Lulie, the couple have two children.

Friedel, Brad
Sport: Soccer
Brad Friedel epitomized both saving grace and stamina on the soccer field.
For more than a quarter century he staked his claim as one of the top goalkeepers in the collegiate, professional and international ranks. The 6-3 keeper, who switched from forward to the goalmouth growing up in Bay Village, holds the record for playing in 310 consecutive games in England's highly-competitive Premier League with teams Blackburn, Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur from 1998 to 2015.
Beginning with an NCAA national championship at UCLA in 1990, he earned collegiate honors through 1992 as he won the Hermann Trophy as a junior before opting for a professional career. After stints in Scotland, Denmark and Ireland, he was Major League Soccer's Goalkeeper of the Year with the Columbus Crew in 1997. That opened the opportunity to play in England, initially with Liverpool and eventually as a starter with Blackburn in 2000 to begin his Premier League reign.
In his first season with Blackburn, he helped the Rovers return to the top division Premier League. He was Blackburn's player of the year when he had 15 shutouts during the 2002-03 season.
He also played for the United States national team in the 1992 Olympics and in three World Cups. He was dubbed "the human wall" for his outstanding work during the 2002 World Cup as the U.S. reached the quarterfinals with stirring wins against Portugal and Mexico along the way.
He totaled 82 games for the national team from 1992 to 2005.
Before concentrating on soccer, Friedel was an all-state basketball selection at Bay, where he also played tennis. He was the school's athlete of the year as a senior in 1990. Later that year he was invited to walk-on the UCLA basketball team as freshman.
Hoping to further establish the game at home, he founded the non-profit Premier Soccer Academy in Lorain for youth from 2007-2011. In 2016, he was named head coach of the United States Under-19 team.

Hafner, Travis
Travis Hafner
Sport: Baseball
Travis Hafner enjoyed a 12-year career in Major League Baseball, the best of the seasons (10 in all) spent wearing a Cleveland Indians' jersey.
In a four-year stretch from 2004 through 2007, Hafner was one of the most feared batters in the game, hitting 127 home runs and collecting 434 RBI. The 2006 campaign was Hafner's finest as he smacked 42 homers and drove in 117 runs. He led the American League in slugging percentage (.659) and was so hot in August that he was not only voted a player of the week honor, but player of the month, as well.
Baseball is a game of numbers, and Hafner, who split time between first base and being a designated hitter, has them by the bushel basket.
He was the first player in MLB history to hit five grand slam home runs before the All-Star Game (2006), and remains tied for the most grand slams in a season by hitting six, again in 2006.
Hafner twice finished in the Top 10 for MVP voting, polling fifth in 2005.
In 2002, his first year in the majors as a Texas Ranger, eventual teammate Bill Selby (then a member of the Indians) gave Hafner his nickname. It was "Pronk," a combination of him being a project as well as a critique of the way he rambled around the bases. "He just looked like a Pronk," said Selby.
Tribe fans will fondly remember Hafner driving in the winning run in the 11th inning of Game 2 of the 2007 ALDS, also known as the "bug game." It featured a 10-minute swarming invasion of midges that may have contributed to New York Yankee reliever Joba Chamberlain uncorking two wild pitches, one that lead to the Indians tying the game before Hafner's heroics.
Hafner ranks eighth on the Indians all-time home run list with 200 blasts. Another of his greatest nights with the Tribe came on Aug. 13, 2003 when he hit for the cycle against the Minnesota Twins.
Hafner and his wife, Amy, and their three children, Blake, Trip and Knox, live in Avon Lake.

Ginn, Sr, Ted
Ted Ginn, Sr.
Ted Ginn, Sr. has been described as an evangelist and a Pied Piper because he re-wrote the game plan for high school football in Cleveland.
Ted spent his early years in Franklinton, Louisiana, where his grandparents instilled in him rigid Christian values. He moved to Cleveland for his high school years at Glenville, playing center and linebacker on the Tarblooders football team of the 1970s.
After graduating, he returned to Glenville as a volunteer assistant football coach and full-time uniformed security guard. He would patrol the hallways in his blue-gray officer's uniform during the school day and change into his coaching togs after school.
After 10 years as an unpaid assistant coach, he actually went on the coaching payroll in 1986. He succeeded James Hubbard as head coach in 1997 and before long earned national attention for the Glenville football program.
In 1999 Glenville became the first Cleveland public school to qualify for the state football playoffs and the Tarblooders went on to the playoffs 11 times in 12 years from 1999 to 2010. Glenville was state runnerup in 2009.
Glenville also has won every Senate football championship since Ted took over in 1997 and has not lost a conference game in his century.
More than 50 of his athletes have been awarded full college scholarships, including his son, Ted Jr. at Ohio State and Heisman Trophy winner Troy Smith, also at Ohio State. Several of his players went on play pro football in the NFL.
He also coached the Glenville track team to five straight state championships.
Ted has battled cancer for the last two years and did not coach last year, but he has returned to the sidelines this season.
In 2007 the Cleveland Municipal School District created Ginn Academy in the Collinwood area, an all-boys school with Ted as headmaster.
He always points out that his mission is not to win football games, it is to save lives and souls. He has been honored by numerous like-minded organizations, such as the National Association of Negro Business and Professional Women's Clubs, the National Black Coaches Association and the National Fatherhood Initiative.
Ted and his wife, Jeanette, have two children, son Ted Jr. and daughter Tiffany.

Hargrove, Mike
Mike Hargrove
Although denied the 1997 World Series championship in a heart-breaking loss in extra innings in the seventh game against the Florida Marlins, Mike Hargrove will remain one of the most beloved managers in Cleveland Indians history.
Hargrove is the fifth Tribe manager—all former Cleveland ballplayers—to be inducted in the Greater Cleveland Sports Hall of Fame. He joins Mel Harder, Roger Peckinpaugh, Steve O'Neill and Tris Speaker.
A native of Perryton, Texas (the city's baseball stadium is named in his honor), Hargrove played 7 years for the Tribe before managing it for nine years. He began his playing career with Texas before coming to Cleveland via a trade with San Diego. As a manager, Hargove skippered both Baltimore and Seattle after leaving Cleveland.
Voted American League Rookie of the Year in 1974, Hargrove carried the most unique of nicknames: The Human Rain Delay. He earned it through his ritual between pitches of stepping out of the batter's box to readjust his hitting gloves, hitch up his pants, rub his nose, knock dirt from his spikes and tamp on his helmet.
Hargrove played for 12 years. He had a career batting average of .290 and was an All-Star in 1975. He retired in 1985, and within two years was managing Class A Kinston of the Carolina League. Hargrove was voted the circuit's Manager of the Year in his rookie season.
The Indians named Hargrove its manager in 1991. He had winning records in six of his nine years in Cleveland, won five consecutive American League Central championships and twice advanced to the World Series. Hargrove's first American League Central title in 1995 ended a 40-year drought between championships, the Indians having won the American League pennant in 1954.
Hargrove is the second winningest manager in Cleveland Indians history. His 721 victories are just seven wins shy of record holder Lou Boudreau's total.

Harris, Raymont
Raymont Harris
He ran hard and far in six NFL seasons, but Raymont Harris may be best remembered for two evenings of football that saw him dart in and around rivals and directly into a pair of record books. One of the nights came in college, the other in high school. Harris, a native of Lorain, produced the greatest performance by an Ohio State University running back in a bowl game when he piled up 235 yards in the Buckeyes' 28-21 victory over Brigham Young in the 1993 Holiday Bowl.
Raymont scored three of OSU's four touchdowns but more impressive was that not one of his 39 carries resulted in negative yardage. Harris still holds the Holiday Bowl record for rushing yardage. Harris still holds the Holiday Bowl record for rushing yardage.
A few years earlier, as a senior at Admiral King High School, Harris delivered a performance that is still talked about in Lorain County football circles. Facing cross-town rival Lorain High, Harris ran for 332 yards and five touchdowns as the Admirals triumphed.
Harris was selected in the fourth round of the 1994 NFL Draft by the Chicago Bears, the 114th overall pick and made an immediate impact. The Bears were knocked out of the playoffs in the next game by eventual Super Bowl champion San Francisco.
Harris retired from pro football in 2001. He joined The Ohio State University Department of Athletics in March 2010 as director of development and resides in New Albany with his wife, Leslie, and children Shakia, Elijah, and Olivia.

Fernandez Godsick, Mary Joe
Mary Joe Fernandez Godsick
Sport: Tennis
Mary Joe Fernandez Godsick enjoyed a golden career on the tennis courts of the world.
In the midst of an outstanding run as a professional that included three Grand Slam finals, Fernandez Godsick won two Olympic gold medals representing the United States.
Teamed with Gigi Fernandez (no relation), Mary Joe first prevailed in the women's doubles at the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona. Team Fernandez reprised their championship performance on U.S. soil, winning gold at the 1996 0lympics in Atlanta.
Born in the Dominican Republic and raised in Miami, Fernandez Godsick is the fourth woman inducted into the Greater Cleveland Sports Hall of Fame. She joins Mary K. Browne, Edna Shalala and Gwyneth Thomas.
Mary Joe's accomplishments on the pro circuit make her one of the game's all-time greats. In 1990, after winning the Tokyo Indoor Championship and reaching the finals of the Australian Open where she was defeated by Steffi Graf, Fernandez Godsick ranked a career-high World No. 4 in singles.
Twice more, Mary Joe would reach the finals of Grand Slam events. She was topped by Monica Seles in the 1992 Australian Open and by Graf in the 1993 French Open.
Fernandez Godsick did reach the winner's circle in both tournaments, teaming with Patty Fendick to win the women's doubles championship at the 1991 Australian Open, and partnering with Lindsay Davenport to capture the doubles title at the 1996 French Open.
Mary Joe was a tenacious rival and no better illustration of her fight can be found than the quarterfinals of the 1993 French Open. She saved five match points against Gabriela Sabatini before winning a match that lasted more than three and a half hours.
She also was the youngest player to win a main draw match at the U.S. Open when at 14 years and 8 days, she defeated Sara Gomer in first round play in 1985.
Fernandez Godsick was a star soon after picking up a racket for the first time. She won four straight Orange Bowl junior titles and turned pro at 15.
Mary Joe lives in Chagrin Falls with her husband, sports agent Anthony Lewisohn Godsick, and their children, Isabella Maria and Nicholas Cooper.
