For the last half decade, the UK government and security industry has been warning we are in the middle of a massive cyber skills gap.

The lack of skilled defenders means many companies are woefully vulnerable to attacks, a trend that has been showcased by the sweep of mega data breaches to afflict big name companies, including Target, JP Morgan, and Wal-Mart.

On the plus side, it means that companies are now willing to pay big bucks for cyber professionals. According to Robert Half Technology’s Salary Guide, security professionals salaries are the fastest growing in the country.

But with many roles requiring some pretty hefty training, and the letters MSc or Phd before an applicant's name, most will need to study at a post grad level to break into the industry.

Here to help, we've made a list of the the only 13 universities in the UK to have received the government’s hallowed Academic Centres of Excellence in Cyber Security Research (ACEs-CSR) accreditation — which means they turn out top-knotch research — and then ranked them according to their computer science ranking on the Complete University Guide.

13. Royal Holloway, University of London​​

Complete University Guide rank: 33

Royal Holloway, University of London has trained over 3,000 students in the art of hacker war since it launched its MSc information security Masters degree programme in 1992.

Additionally, it’s one of a select few universities to offer focused courses on cyber security at an undergrad, Masters, and doctoral level.

12. Queen’s University Belfast

Complete University Guide rank: 31

Queen's University Belfast’s MSc in Cyber security trains post grads in applied cryptograph, computer forensics, ethical and legal issues in cyber security, malware network security, and monitoring and media security

The university has strong ties with a number of big name companies in the security industry including Infosys, Cisco, IBM, Thales, BAE Systems, McAfee, Roke, and Altera.

11. The University of Kent

Complete University Guide rank: 28

Located in the UK’s beautiful city of Canterbury, the University of Kent’s computing department teaches security in its undergraduate computer science degree and also offers a computer security MSc.

Here's your chance to live a Tuscan dream in the good ol' US.

As reported by The Wall Street Journal, "The Big Lebowski" star Jeff Bridges and his wife are asking $29.5 million dollars for their 19.5 acre Montecito, California home. The sprawling property has equal amounts of luxury and quirk. 

Sotheby’s International Realty's Suzanne Perkins told the WSJ that listings exceeding three acres of land in Montecito are rare. Keep scrolling for an inside-out tour.

The Bridges family bought the home — built by Santa Barbara architect Barry Berkus — in 1994 from musician Kenny Loggins, who Mrs. Bridges credits for the European design and décor.

The wooded drive up to the villa is straight out of a fairytale book.

The hand-carved wooden front door complements the home's Tuscan-inspired exterior. Contrasting stone and stucco represent the evolving architectural styles of Tuscan villas over time.

Millionaires, billionaires, tech execs, and their better halves have all descended upon Sun Valley, Idaho, for the investment bank Allen & Co.'s 33rd annual weeklong conference, aka summer camp for billionaires.

And it has become a family affair.

From François-Henri Pinault and Salma Hayek to Diane von Fürstenberg and Barry Diller, check out which power couples are at this year's conference.

Barry Diller, chairman and senior executive of IAC, is accompanied at this year's conference by his legendary fashion designer wife, Diane von Fürstenberg.

François-Henri Pinault, CEO of Kering, walks with his Oscar-nominated wife, actress Salma Hayek.

Mark Zuckerberg took a moment out of his busy day to chat with his pediatrician wife, Priscilla Chan, and Dan Rose, VP of Business Development and Monetization at Facebook.

Talk about a reinvention. Formerly a Victorian Slate mine turned WWII art bunker, the 177 year-old Llechwedd Slate Caverns in Blaenau Ffestiniog, North Wales, are now a massive, subterranean playground.

Bounce Below is probably the world's largest network of trampolines, considering it features 10,000 square feet of nets. Three huge trampolines are suspended at different levels (between 20 and 180 feet above the cave's floor), and connected by slides, walkways and tunnels.

To get there, visitors will have to hop aboard an old mine train, then slide down 60 feet straight into the first trampoline. Helmets protect visitors from injury, though the whole thing — trampolines, walkways, slides and all — is basically enveloped in netting. Despite the craggy cliffs intimidating from below, walls of net make it impossible to fall off the edges.

There are three levels of trampolines: One is 20 feet above the ground floor of the cave, another 60 feet, and the highest one 180 feet. To get from one trampoline to the next, you can either take a slide (there's one in a corner of every trampoline), or bounce up and down spiral staircases. 

Adding to the surreal experience are technicolored LED lights, though the calm cave vibe remains thanks to its quiet, echo-y ambiance.

This year, Bounce Below saw the addition of Junior Bounce, three trampolines meant for the younger set (ages three to six).

They already host bachelor and bachelorette parties, and even the occasional wedding, but there are also plans to build a restaurant and conference rooms for corporate events.

The old mines are also part of Zip World, and feature the world's largest underground zip line course, the longest zipline in Europe, and allegedly the fastest one in the world.

The apps and games you use every day don't exist in a vacuum — someone, somewhere, wrote the code. 

That also goes for the underlying platforms and hardware that those apps run on. And the web. And the entire Internet itself.

Even the programming languages that people use to build this stuff first had to be written by somebody else. 

So who's at the top of the programming pyramid?

Linus Torvalds created Linux, a free operating system, in his dorm room at the University of Helsinki. Today, Linux is the operating system of choice for data centers, supercomputers, and server farms everywhere — as well as a dedicated cadre of enthusiasts.

Torvalds is also well known for his sharp tongue — when an audience member at a recent talk asked Torvalds if he thought his manner was turning off members of the Linux community, he replied "I don't care about you." 

Sir Tim Berners-Lee is the only entrant on this list to earn a knighthood from Queen Elizabeth II. He invented the hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP), the technology on which the entire World Wide Web is built.

Donald Knuth's academic work in computer science has earned him the title of the "father of the analysis of algorithms." Everything from the Facebook news feed algorithm to Amazon suggestions owes something to his work.

At 77 years old, Knuth is still writing his multi-volume work "The Art of Computer Programming," with the most recent installment coming out in 2011. He's also a professor emeritus at Stanford University.  

There are some lessons you won't learn in an MBA program — like how to deal with eccentric coworkers or a spouse involved in shady business deals.

For that, you can turn to the many short works of literary fiction that focus on ordinary people trying to succeed professionally.

Here, we've selected six of the most compelling and relatable stories. Best of all, you can read each one in less than half an hour, boosting your business savvy before you know it.

'Bartleby, the Scrivener' by Herman Melville

Bartleby is a clerk in a Wall Street law office who is essentially having a nervous breakdown. He categorically refuses to do any of the work assigned to him, and over time, it becomes clear that he has taken up residence in the office. Still, the lawyer who runs the firm keeps him on, mostly out of pity. 

To be sure, Bartleby's interactions with his officemates are hilarious. But they also show how work is never just work. An organization is ultimately a community of people whose lives and struggles become tied up together, and they can either motivate each other to succeed — or drag each other down.

While it was originally published in 1853 as two parts in Putnam's Magazine, today it's available as a standalone story.

'The Businessman' by Edgar Allan Poe

This satirical work was first published in the mid-19^th century in Burton's Gentleman's Magazine, but it's just as entertaining today. The entire story consists of "self-made man" Peter bragging about his different entrepreneurial ventures, including starting fights with people on the street and then suing them for attacking him.

You don't have to read too closely to guess that Poe is dubious about the means by which supposedly self-made men succeed. The story is available in book form today.

'Afterward' by Edith Wharton

In one of Wharton's famous ghost stories, a businessman named Ned disappears, leaving his wife Mary distraught and confused.

Over time, Mary learns that Ned may have been caught up in a shady business transaction, which he never bothered to tell her about. The story will definitely creep you out — and potentially scare you into honesty when it comes to your own professional dealings.

First published in the 1910 issue of The Century Magazine, the story is available in book form today.

These two local women wearing traditional garb called out to us as we passed by on our way to Plaza Vieja. The 92-year-old woman on the left told us that she smokes everyday and her health is in excellent condition. They asked us for a few coins each after we took a few photos of them.

Until Fidel Castro and his revolutionaries took over the country in 1959, Cuba was once the top importer of North American-manufactured cars. The cars are commonly referred to as "yank tanks." We saw a man sleeping in the passenger seat of a "yank tank" outside of the second-largest church in Cuba, Iglesia de Jesús de Miramar.

For the next 50 years, owners of these "coches Americanos" would be forced to improvise repairs without access to replacement parts.

Midsized gas grills are the biggest sellers but when it comes to cooking for a crowd only a large grill will do.

The most expensive of the recommended large grills, the Napoleon also has the biggest cooking area. There are five main burners and stainless-steel grates. Temperature range was superb, and so was low heat and indirect cooking. Preheating was fast and even and high heat was impressive.

Features include a side burner, utensil hooks, lighted controls, lighted cooking area, rotisserie motor and spit, slide-out tank tray, towel bar, cutting board, and bin.

It offers fast,even preheating, impressive temperature range, superb low and high heat, and impressive indirect cooking. Grates are stainless steel. The Kenmore 16156, $620, is similar at one-third the price.

While many large companies use automated résumé screener software to cut down the initial pool of job applicants, loading your résumé with meaningless buzzwords is not the smartest way to get noticed. 

"Nearly everyone is guilty of using buzzwords from time to time, but professionals are evaluated increasingly on their ability to communicate," says Paul McDonald, senior executive director for professional placement firm Robert Half. 

One of the major problems with using buzzwords and terms, according to Mary Lorenz, a corporate communications manager at CareerBuilder, is they have become so overused that they've lost all meaning.

Another issue, she explains, is that many of these words don't differentiate the job seeker from other candidates because they're so generic.

Instead, Lorenz says job seekers should speak in terms of accomplishments and show rather than tell.

"Avoiding overused terms can help job seekers convey their message and stand out from the crowd," McDonald says. Here's what you should avoid:

SEE ALSO: 25 résumé mistakes you need to fix right now

1. 'Best of breed'

When CareerBuilder surveyed more than 2,200 hiring managers last year, it found "best of breed" to be the most irritating term to be seen on a résumé.

"Anyone can say they are 'best of breed,' a 'go-getter,' a 'hard worker,' or a 'strategic thinker,'" Lorenz says. "Employers want to know what makes the job seekers unique, and how they will add value to the specific organization for which they're applying."

2. 'Phone'

Career coach Eli Amdur says there is no reason to put the word "phone" in front of the actual number.

"It's pretty silly. They know it's your phone number." The same rule applies to email.

3. 'Results-driven'

"Instead of simply saying that you're results-driven, write about what you did to actually drive results — and what those results were," Lorenz suggests.

Europe has a vibrant video game industry, with countries like the UK, France, and Germany playing host to established companies as well as smaller, "indie" developers that work on some of the world's most successful and creative apps. 

So which companies have games worth checking out?

We've ranked Europe's best video game development companies, basing our list on upcoming games, as well as the number of existing players, uniqueness, and past hits.

31. Pretty Simple Games is behind the Facebook hit "Criminal Case"

Country: France

Notable games: Criminal Case

Paris-based Pretty Simple Games built detective game "Criminal Case," which Facebook called its biggest game of 2013. The company was started in 2010 with funding from Idinvest Partners and it now boasts over 35 million monthly active users across its games. 

The statistics for Criminal Case are pretty mind-blowing. Pretty Simple Games says that it has 35 million monthly active players, and told Gamasutra in 2013 that revenue for Criminal Case was in the "eight-figures."

30. Wooga makes free games for smartphones

Country: Germany

Notable games: Diamond Dash, Agent Alice

Berlin-based Wooga, which makes free games for smartphones, boasts an impressive audience. Wooga says on its website that over 50 million people play its games every month across several platforms. More than 200 million people have signed up to play "Diamond Dash," a game in which users tap gems to make them explode. 

But Wooga isn't a one-hit wounder. It also launched a virtual pet app for the Apple Watch as well as detective game "Agent Alice." CEO Jens Begemann said in an interview with VentureBeat that over 80 developers worked on the new game for 18 months. 

29. Jagex is the developer behind hit game "RuneScape"

Country: UK

Notable games: RuneScape

Cambridge-based video game development company Jagex is behind what the Guinness Book of World Records calls the world's most popular free-to-play online adventure game.

First released in 2001, "RuneScape" allows players to explore a fantasy world and spend money on improvements to their characters. Jagex also publishes a shooter game on Steam and an online card game based on RuneScape.

Jagex has kept its head office in Cambridge, employing over 400 staff in its two studios in the city.

In April 2015, Victoria's Secret announced its newest lineup of its signature Angels.

These 10 women would be the faces — and bodies — of the iconic lingerie company.

One of these women is Taylor Hill, who at only 19-years-old is making a huge name for herself.

Hill might just be 19, but she is a veteran of the runway. 

Taylor Hill is one of the youngest Victoria's Secret models, at just 19. We can get a glimpse into her pre-Victoria's' Secret days from a throwback photo she posted of herself and her father on Father's Day this year.

Since "Star Wars" arrived in theaters in 1977, music has been at the core of the franchise.

Growing up in a family of diehard fans, I learned "The Imperial March" along with nursery rhymes.

So when I learned that at the end of the "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" panel at San Diego Comic-Con, director J.J. Abrams invited all 6,500 fans in attendance at Hall H to a free, secret "Star Wars" concert— I knew I had to get in.

I did. And it blew away my expectations.

SEE ALSO: Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, and the entire ‘Star Wars’ cast partied on stage at the secret fan concert

There was no way I was going to get into Hall H for the "Star Wars" panel. People camp outside day and night to snag a seat. But I happened to be sitting nearby the exit while the panel took place, and watched a dozen Stormtroopers marching toward it. It seemed odd.

Just as the panel let out, I got a text from my colleague Kirsten, advising me to look out for a parade of Hall H attendees. Twitter was aflutter.

We quickly pieced together that the crowd was headed to the waterfront for a surprise "Star Wars" concert featuring the San Diego Symphony. I raced alongside the roped-off line.

Thanks to the huge box-office grosses that movies are having so far this year — including record-breaking takes for “Furious 7" and “Jurassic World” — we may be headed for one of the highest-earning movie years of all time. 

But as we hit the halfway point of 2015, we have to address the titles that did not do well.

From “Mortdecai” to “Aloha,” here are 11 of the biggest bombs so far this year.

11. "Tomorrowland" (Disney)

Estimated Budget: $190 million
Worldwide Gross: $202.9 million
Opening Weekend: $33 million

Though this adaptation of the futuristic section of the Disney amusement park did hit No. 1 at the box office its opening weekend, the film's make-the-world-a-better-place vibe and long-winded storyline didn't motivate audiences — especially in the US. Though the George Clooney-starrer made $111.9 worldwide, it took in just $91 million domestically.

10. "Chappie" (Sony)

Estimated Budget: $49 million
Worldwide Gross: $102 million
Opening Weekend: $13.3 million

Many were excited for the latest movie from director Neil Blomkamp, as he was returning to his South African roots, where he found major success with his debut feature film, "District 9." But those hopes were dashed when the reviews came out and ripped into the movie, which follows a robot that has signs of artificial intelligence. (The film has a 31% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.)

(Source: Box Office Mojo)

9. "Jupiter Ascending" (Warner Bros.)

Estimated Budget: $176 million
Worldwide Gross: $181.8 million
Opening Weekend: $18.3 million

With production delays pushing the movie from a summer 2014 release date to an opening in January, "Jupiter Ascending" was behind the eight ball very early on. And things didn't get any better for the latest sci-fi thriller from the makers of "The Matrix," Andy and Lana Wachowski, when the film had a surprise screening at the Sundance Film Festival with very few positives coming out of it. General US audiences would end up feeling the same way. However, the film found more takers overseas.

When people ask me where I live, I jokingly reply, “out of my suitcase.”

These days I am perpetually packed for 11 months of the year, never knowing if I will land in the South Pacific or Siberia.

True story: I was in Istanbul, packed for a 3-month assignment in Papua New Guinea, when my office called to tell me my project was canceled and I’d be heading to Mongolia instead.

Slight change of plans, right?

Although my situation is a bit extreme, like all travel warriors, I know what I need, I know what I don’t need, and I know how to charm the airline staff at check-in so they don’t charge me for those extra kilos.

Remarkably, I can pack and unpack my 11-month suitcase in 20 minutes flat.

Whether bumming around South America for 4 months or being the full-time working nomad I am now, I never leave home without these 15 little items.

SEE ALSO: 4 tough things you have to do to win at life

E-Bags packing cubes

These have changed my life, and account for 90% of the reason I can pack and unpack everything I travel with so quickly.

I buy them in all sizes, shapes, and colors and they function like drawers in a dresser that I can throw into my suitcase or backpack.

They protect and organize my wardrobe so I know where my blouses for work are, which one has my socks and underwear, and that my cosmetics are in the leopard print one. 

A few hangers

I always have one hanger for each piece of good clothing I bring with me. They weigh nothing and provide a tremendous amount of convenience.

Especially when I arrive in Addis Ababa after 28 hours of travel and have a business meeting in 3 hours, I can hang my suit in the shower, turn on the hot water, and steam those wrinkles out in 5 minutes. 

Extra debit cards

Travel banking rule #1: Never tie yourself to one bank and NEVER to one debit card. I was once in Bangkok when my bank decided my card had been involved in an international money laundering scam and shut it off without consulting me.

I was left penniless in Southeast Asia for 10 days while I waited for the new card to be shipped to me. If I had had an alternate banking option, I would have been fine. My advice is to open an account at a new bank before you leave for anywhere, throw a couple grand in it, and pack that debit card as your spare.

(Travel banking rule #2: Always have at least a few hundred dollars of cash on you in case of emergency. That’s how I survived those 10 days.)

Buying a house is a major commitment involving a lot of money.

But you have to live somewhere, and sometimes it makes more sense to buy than rent.

Realtytrac, a real estate information company, compiled data on 285 counties nationwide and analyzed the economics of buying versus renting a home. They found the average cost to rent or own a 3-bedroom house and determined the percentage an average worker would have to spend from their weekly income.

The report found something surprising. "The separate Buy-or-Rent analysis released today found that making monthly house payments on a 3-bedroom property is more affordable than paying fair market rent on a 3-bedroom property in 188 of the 285 counties analyzed (66 percent)," said the company.

We screened for the counties that had populations of more than 400,000 people and where a homebuyer would save at least 10% more than renters. 

Check them out below in order from least to most savings.
