Ciberfeminismo é usado para descrever as filosofias de uma comunidade feminista contemporânea cujos interesses são o ciberespaço, a Internet e a tecnologia. O termo foi cunhado na década de 1990 para descrever o trabalho de feministas interessadas na teorização, crítica e exploração do internet, o ciberespaço e novas tecnologias de mídia em geral. O termo foi cunhado simultaneamente pela teórica cultural britânica Sadie Plant e pelo coletivo artístico australiano VNS Matrix em 1991, durante a ascensão da cibercultura— o momento crucial em que a internet, uma tecnologia de conexão, estava adentrando a esfera pública.

O Ciberfeminismo é considerado um predecessor para o feminismo em rede e também tem uma relação com o campo da Tecnociência Feminista.

A perspectiva ciberfeminista dominante tem uma visão utópica do ciberespaço e a Internet como um meio de se libertar das construções sociais como gênero e a diferença sexual. O Ciberfeminismo vê tecnologia como um veículo para a dissolução do sexo e do gênero, bem como um meio para ligar o corpo às máquinas.

Definição
O Ciberfeminismo refere-se à aplicação das ideologias do feminismo no ciberespaço. É difícil encontrar uma definição oficial do ciberfeminismo em obras escritas porque as primeiras ciberfeministas deliberadamente evitaram uma definição rígida. Na Primeira Internacional Feminista, a primeira conferência Ciberfeminista oficial, os participantes concordaram em não definir o termo; ao invés disso, eles escreveram, em conjunto, uma lista de 100 "Anti-Teses", enumerando uma centena de coisas que o CiberFeminismo não era.

O Ciberfeminismo também está preocupado com a relação entre os sistemas existentes de tecnologias de computação e de discriminação, incluindo raça e racialização Há também o trabalho ciberfeminista que explora a relação das novas tecnologias ao gênero e sexualidade.

Pesquisadores como Jessie Daniels sugere que o "Ciberfeminismo não uma única teoria nem um movimento feminista com uma agenda política claramente articulada. Pelo contrário, o ciberfeminismo refere-se a uma série de teorias, debates e práticas sobre a relação entre gênero e cultura digital (...)". Além disso, "dentro e entre ciberfeminismo(s) há um número de posições teóricas e políticas em relação à tecnologia da Internet e de gênero, bem como uma ambivalência notável sobre um projetos de política feminista unificada."

Enquanto que Yvonne Volkart da Old Boys Network afirma que: "o ciberfeminismo é um mito. Um mito é uma história de origem não identificável, ou de diferentes origens. Um mito é baseado em uma história central que é recontada várias vezes em diferentes variações. Um mito nega uma história, bem como uma verdade e implica uma busca da verdade nos espaços, nas diferenças entre as diferentes histórias. Falando sobre ciberfeminismo como um mito, não se destina a mistificá-lo, ele simplesmente indica que ciberfeminismo só existe no plural".

19 What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing? 20 But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils.
29 Conscience, I say, not thine own, but of the other: for why is my liberty judged of another man's conscience? 30 For if I by grace be a partaker, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks?


Israel's military has said Gaza's ruling Hamas militant group was behind the rocket fire. The rocket landed in the village of Mishmeret about 25 kilometers (about 15 miles) north of Tel Aviv, making this the furthest distance a rocket has been fired into Israel since the 2014 war fought between Israel and Hamas.
Seven people were wounded in the incident, including a woman in her sixties who suffered blast injuries, minor burns and shrapnel wounds. A 12-year old girl and two infants also received shrapnel wounds, according to Magen David Adom (MDA), Israel's emergency response team, in a statement.
"This is a complex incident that miraculously has concluded with only light to moderate injuries," said MDA Director General Eli Bin, who was at the scene, according to the statement.
The Monday incident comes less than two weeks after two rockets were fired at Tel Aviv, the first time rockets had been fired at central Israel in almost five years. The IDF assessment was that the rockets — which caused no damage — were accidentally launched by low-level Hamas operatives, local media reported.
Israel responded to that attack with air strikes on about 100 militant targets in Gaza, including an underground rocket factory, a training facility and a logistics headquarters.
The firing of this latest rocket coincides with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's visit to the United States, during which he will meet President Donald Trump.
"In a few hours, I will meet with President Trump, and immediately after that, I will return home to manage our actions closely," Netanyahu said Monday.

Empower Your Life Through Feeling
Not everyone values feeling, and for many who do, it feels like they are on their own in a world where others don't. In fact some people see it as a downright weakness that should be eliminated from our world.
More and more people, however, are stepping in to the roles of leadership in work and business who do value feeling and are creating powerful change as a result. They are far from weak, embodying the gift of their intuition when making choices in life, and embodying the warrior archetype in healthy fullness in order to accomplish the challenging feats. Businesses where a nature of fun, love, appreciation and acknowledgement is encouraged. To attract these people and places in to your life, you may need to change some perceptions.
Valuing feeling is something that would be considered a feminine trait, and for the purpose of explanation, that is the label I will use here. In a world that has been patriarchal in essence it is easy to see why this has been the case, but it does not have to be.
Identify How You Treat Yourself Because Of Being A Feeling Person
What most people have been shamed for in the past is being too emotional, too sensitive, moody, "bitchy", insecure or irrational. Some of those indeed can be the shadow side of emotional connection, and we must be aware of them. Shaming ourselves for being too emotional, will prevent us from ever allowing ourselves to truly feel the feelings in the future we want to feel more of - joy, peace, love, gratitude. Even though you may experience moments where you are TOO emotional, completely and deeply love and accept yourself. You are experiencing the emotion, you are not bad because of it. When you stop judging yourself for the trait, you can begin to make changes so that you are aware of feelings in a healthy manner. Oftentimes people who have stepped in to their power can be called bitches or assholes by those who feel challenged by them stepping in to their power. I have had clients called a bully in settings where they needed to be assertive. Be aware of the difference between being genuinely bitchy or a bully, and being empowered in such a way that others may feel defensive. You never need to exert power over another, only hold firm in it within yourself.
Pure Feeling Is Not A Weakness, It Is A Strength That Uplifts Organisations And Relationships
Gratitude, love, compassion, appreciation, forgiveness, intuition; these are all being brought more and more in to the workspace, despite resistance from those who see it as a weakness. In the work I did as a GratiDude I came across those who accepted it, and those who resisted it, and laughed at me, saying it was too touchy feely. That's ok, you can't please everyone. Those who have embraced it are creating flourishing organisations, with happy staff. It does not mean that they are not challenged, but it does mean that they have the tools at their disposal to deal with conflict when it arises, which it surely does. Intuition is one of the greatest gifts we have in our life, and in a world that has devalued feeling, it got kicked to the ground too. Harness the gift of intuition to do good in our world, make better choices, that align with the highest good for everyone. Expressing gratitude and appreciation to those you work and live with, in addition to the necessary feedback, will help to foster a happier environment. Being able to have open discussion, with compassionate listening, helps to build trust so that problems can be solved with greater ease. When you catch yourself thinking of yourself as weak for feeling any of these, remember the gift and value they bring.
Embrace The Fullness Of The Warrior Within You.
There is a need for the warrior archetype, often suppressed because of the negativity that the shadow nature has brought in to the world. The expressions of violence, overworking to the point of burnout, these are the shadow realm of the warrior. But there exist times when it is necessary for the warrior to show up in the world. The warrior who acts from a place of anger brings only harm upon himself and others. The warrior who is acting to fulfill a transpersonal goal, a service to humanity, and is able to remain emotionally detached in the heat of conflict, can bring much to the table. As long as he still embodies the compassion and caring in this role of the warrior too. Hence, being a warrior, and valuing feeling are not mutually exclusive. It is about knowing when to detach, and when to feel. Love does not always come across as flowery, it comes across strong and if that is what is needed to wake us up, then that is what is needed.
Feeling has been perceived as a weakness by too many for too long. We are witnessing a spiritual revolution that is giving permission to people to be true to themselves. There are people who are walking around with imbalances when it comes to feeling, I have been that person myself, and it has been a process of growth. But as I have learned to embody the valuing of feeling with the warrior within me, I have been able to address life's challenges with greater ease. We all have our role to play in life and we need feeling to support us.

A chemical burn is irritation and destruction of human tissue caused by exposure to a chemical, usually by direct contact with the chemical or its fumes. Chemical burns can occur in the home, at work or school, or as a result of accident or assault. Although few people in the United States die after contact with chemicals in the home, many substances common in both living and storage areas can do serious harm.
Many chemical burns occur accidentally through misuse of products such as those for hair, skin, and nail care. Although injuries do occur at home, the risk of sustaining a chemical burn is much greater in the workplace, especially in businesses and manufacturing plants that use large quantities of chemicals.
Most chemical burns are caused by either strong acids or strong bases (for example, hydrochloric acid or sodium hydroxide). Acids damage and kill cells by coagulating cells while bases liquefy cells. Prolonged exposure can severely damage human tissues and, if the patient survives, leads to scarring and disability. Other chemicals like oxidants and certain metals may also produce similar chemical burns. Limiting the time of exposure to any of these chemicals can greatly reduce their damaging effects.
All chemical burns should be considered potential medical emergencies.
Most chemical burns occur on the face, eyes, hands, arms, and legs. Usually a chemical burn will be relatively small and will require only outpatient treatment. Chemical burns can be deceiving, however. Some agents can cause deep tissue damage that is not not readily apparent when people first look at it.
Tissue damage from chemical burns depends on several factors.
Once all immediate danger has passed and the person has completed basic first aid (removed from the chemical source, contaminated clothing removed, and, if skin or eyes involved, extensive rinsing with water in most situations), a doctor, if immediately available, should review the injury and the chemical involved to make sure the patient needs no further emergency treatment. If a potential problem remains, the doctor can arrange appropriate treatment or will direct the patient to go to a hospital's Emergency Department.
Emergency personnel are trained to assess the extent of a chemical burn, begin treatment, and transport victims to the most appropriate hospital.
Most people with minor chemical burns do not need to be admitted. Most can go home after arranging follow-up care with a doctor. Patients with major chemical burns however, need to be admitted to a hospital. Ingestion or inhalation of chemical burns may need to be admitted for observation, depending on the potential severity of tissue damage.
Begin basic first aid. Immediately call emergency number if a person has a severe injury, any shortness of breath,chest pain, dizziness, or other symptoms throughout the body. If are aiding an injured person with these symptoms, lay the person down and immediately call emergency number. Protect yourself and make sure that you are not exposing yourself to the same chemical.
Remove yourself or the injured person from the accident or exposure area. Take appropriate care not to cause further injury to the patient.
Wash the injured area to dilute or remove the substance, using large volumes of water. Wash for at least 20 minutes, taking care not to allow runoff to contact unaffected parts of anyone's body. Gently brush away any solid materials, again avoiding unaffected body surfaces.
Especially wash away any chemical in the eyes. Sometimes the best way to get large amounts of water to the eyes is to take a shower. If there is an eye wash station nearby (usually fond at work sites), follow the simple instructions to rinse out the eyes.
Flood area with cool water for at least 20 minutes or until help arrives.
Make sure water doesn't flow onto another part of the person's body or onto you.
Don't use a strong stream of water, if possible.
As you flush the burn (not before), remove jewelry or articles of clothing with chemical on them, unless they're stuck to the person's body.
After flushing the burn, follow instructions on the label of the chemical product, if available.
Don't try to neutralize the burn with acid or alkali. This could cause a chemical reaction that worsens the burn.
Don't put antibiotic ointment on the burn.

IMG partners with Wave.tv to distribute sports rights on social
Sara Fischer, author of Media Trends
Illustration: Aïda Amer/Axios
Global entertainment giant IMG Media is partnering up to give social media sports video company Wave.tv broad access to its sports licensing rights, executives tell Axios.
Why it matters: The deal speaks to a new generation of sports programming for younger people on social media who are avid sports fans but don't like sitting through long games on traditional TV.
"The value of original programming utilizing the highlight and the long tail archive is rapidly increasing, to both the fan and media ecosystem at large," says Brian Verne, co-founder and CEO, WAVE.tv.
"For fans they're pure entertainment, for leagues and rights holders they're seen as the vital bridge to increasing fandom amongst Gen Z and Millennials."
Driving the news: Wave.tv, which is home to dozens of sports shows across platforms like Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, Facebook and YouTube, will be able to access a broad range of IMG's licensed sports rights to use for its shows, including Euroleague Basketball and World's Strongest Man.
The partnership includes an overarching contract allowing Wave.tv to access IMG's owned content on a case-by-case basis, as well as individual contracts that include specific licensing agreements depending on the sport.
The companies will split the ad revenue that Wave.tv makes by airing these shows on social platforms.
"This partnership was born out of our initial success working together," says Rebecca Levin, Director of Media at IMG. "WAVE.tv's media brands engage millions of fans by sharing memorable sporting moments in a fresh and entertaining way."
The big picture: Over the last few years, a new crop of digitally-native sports media companies have popped up to create sports shows for younger generations of sports fans that aren't interested in watching hours-long coverage of games on live TV.
Overtime, a sports media company that produces shows for social media, has experienced record engagement during the coronavirus pandemic, in part because its sports shows don't rely on streaming straight games, but rather commentary, highlights and culture around sports. Zachary Weiner, Co-Founder and President of Overtime, says the company has gained 10 million social followers during COVID.
Bleacher Report's House of Highlights is another breakout brand doing sports coverage on social media. House of Highlights had 51 of the top 100 branded content posts on Instagram in 2019. It's the #2 sports publisher on YouTube, averaging 100 million views per month and has over 24 million followers across across all platforms, including a giant following on TikTok.
Be smart: Among all of the players we've spoken to in social sports media, format is universally deemed critical.
"The most important thing is to find young people where they are, on social media. The second is format," says Weiner. "A lot of legacy companies reformat their TV content for digital. We create on digital and social right off the bat."
What's next: Wave.tv is expanding to accommodate the flurry of new content rights deals, says Verne. It plans to hire 12-20 additional full-time employees to add to its existing 42 employees this quarter.
"When you break our business down into a sum of its parts, it is really quite simple. Fandom + Formats + IP = new hit programming," says Verne.

Esports network VENN raises $26 million Series A round
Photo: VENN
The Video Game Entertainment and News Network (VENN) will announce Tuesday a $26 million Series A investment round co-led by BITKRAFT Ventures, an eSports and gaming venture capital firm, as well as Nexstar Media Group, executives told Axios.
Why it matters: The network started out in streaming, but will now be moving some of its shows to linear television through its strategic partnership with Nexstar. Large production networks typically operated in the opposite direction — making shows for linear TV and then selling them to streaming distributors later.

Coventry and Canada, UK – 7 January 2016 – Genesis Technical Systems has today announced that Tom Simpson, Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of Cincinnati Bell, will take an advisory role with the business and assist with the formation of a Consortium of North American operators to address the requirement for improved broadband across America with solutions offered by Genesis Technical Systems.
Following the recent announcement by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to change the definition of broadband, to increase the threshold speed, operators across America are being forced to consider infrastructure developments to deliver the massive increases in bandwidth demand.
The new definition of broadband has seen the minimum standard raised from 4 Mb/s to 25 Mb/s for downloads and 1 Mb/s to 3 Mb/s for uploads. Under this new definition 55 million people across North America (17% of the population) lack access to broadband services and as a result, there is an immediate requirement for the introduction of new technologies that allow existing networks to be upgraded. The ability to deploy technologies that enable these thresholds to be met without the huge upfront costs of replacing the existing infrastructure with Fibre to the Home, is a significant step forward for Telcos.
Technology from Genesis Technical Systems addresses copper access solutions in the last mile for residential and business customers. The multi-award winning DSL Rings can give customers twenty times their current bandwidth – up to 400 Mb/s over existing copper wires, delivering affordable superfast broadband at a fraction of the price of Fibre-to-the-Home (FTTH).
DSL Rings is composed of a Convergence Node (CN) on the physical network; a Home Gateway (HGW) in each house; and Exchange Gateway Software, which monitors all of the rings deployed across the network, which is installed at the local exchange. With a full set of tools embedded into the software including network management systems, provisioning and auto-heating functions, operators are able to deliver superfast broadband over the existing copper telephone wires at the speeds expected by the new definition of broadband.
"With 55 million homes not meeting the new broadband criteria, operators need to seriously consider new technologies that allow them to deliver these increased speeds, particularly in remote areas," said Stephen Cooke, President and CTO of Genesis Technical Systems.


This section describes techniques to normalize numeric values in your datasets. Ideally, your source systems are configured to capture and deliver data using a consistent set of units in a standardized structure and format. In practice, data from multiple systems can illuminate differences in the level of precision used in numeric data or differences in text entries that reference the same thing. Within Trifacta® Wrangler, you can use the following techniques to address some of the issues you might encounter in the standardization of units and values for numeric types.
If decimal values in a column are of varying levels of precision, you can standardize to a single level of precision.
From the column menu, select Column Details.
In the Suggestions panel on the right, locate the Edit Column transformation suggestion that uses the ROUND function. Click Edit.
Change the second parameter of the ROUND function to match the number of digits of precision.
For more information, see ROUND Function.
Tip: Each column that contains numeric values should have an identified unit of measurement. Ideally, this information is embedded in the name of the column data. If the unit of measurement is not included, it can be difficult to properly interpret the data.
Trifacta Wrangler does not impose any units on imported data. For example, a column of values in floating point format could represent centimeters, ounces, or any other unit of measurement. As long as the data conforms to the specified data type for the column, then Trifacta Wrangler can work with it.
However, this flexibility can present issues for users of the dataset. If data is not clearly labeled and converted to a standardized set of units, its users are forced to make assumptions about the data, which can lead to misuse of it.
Tip: The meaning of some units of measure can change over time. For example, a US Dollar in 2010 does not have the same value as a dollar in 2015. When you standardize shifting units of measure, you should account for any time-based differences, if possible.
The Weight and Height columns contain unit identifiers, which forces the values to be treated as strings.
Metric data (kg) is mixed with English unit data (ft and in).
The Height data is non-numeric.
The Weight_kg column contains a unit identifier. On import, these values are treated as strings, which limits their use for analysis.
In the data grid, select an instance of " kg". Note that the space should be selected, too.
Among the suggestion cards, select the Replace card.
It should automatically choose to replace with nothing, effectively deleting the content. To check, click Modify.
Add it to your recipe.
Verify that the column's data type has been changed to Integer or Decimal, depending on the values in it.
After the above is added to the recipe, you should rename the column: Weight_lbs.
The final issue involves converting the Height_ft values to a single value for inches, so that these values can be used consistently with the other columns in the dataset.
Select the first quote mark in one of the entries.
In the suggestion cards, select the Replace card.
Select the variant that deletes all quotes in the column.
The remaining steps compute the number of inches. Multiply the feet by 12, and then add the number of inches, using new columns of data.
Select the single quote mark, and choose the Split suggestion card. This transformation step should split the column into two columns: Height_ft1 and Height_ft2.
You can delete the other, interim columns.
In some cases, the conversion rate between two different units of measures is dynamic. A common example involves mismatches between currency. For example, one dataset can be using U.S. dollars while another represents values in Euros.
If you have inconsistent units within a column, it might be possible to correct these values by applying a multiple. For example, you might be able to determine that some values are in kilometers, instead of meters, based on their much smaller values. Multiplying the kilometer values by 1000 should standardize your units. The following multiplies all values in the column Distance that are less than 1000 by 1000.
Note the implied assumption that there are no distances in kilometers that are over 1000.
NOTE: Inconsistency in units within a column indicates a problem in either the source data or how the column data was modified after import. Where possible, you should try to fix these issues in the source data first, as they can introduce problems when the data is used.
The Height column contains one value with only two digits of arithmetic precision in measurement.
The Width column uses two digits of arithmetic precision, while the Height column contains more digits of precision.
Where precision in measurement is important, you should consider rounding to the lowest level of precision. In this case, within the Height column, that level is to two significant digits after the decimal point (e.g. 12.22). However, across all of the columns of the dataset, the level of precision is to one significant digit after the decimal point, as the Width values are all restricted to this level of precision. While you could choose to round off to four digits across all columns, the extra values of 0 do not accurately reflect measurement and are therefore misleading.
NOTE: The above assumes that the number of significant digits remains fixed in the source data. If this varies over times or uses in your recipe, you might need to revisit these specific transformation steps.
NOTE: The above formatting option drops the zero for values like 4.0. As an alternative, you can use a format of '#.0', which always inserts a zero, even in cases where the zero is not present.
For data hierarchies, you can use aggregations to adjust the granularity of your data to the appropriate grouping level. For example, you want to join a dataset that is organized by individual products with a dataset that is organized by brand. In most cases, you should aggregate the product-level data in the first dataset to the brand level.
NOTE: When aggregation is applied, a new table of data is generated with the columns that you specifically select for inclusion.

He went above and beyond. Was a really kind guy and very helpful. Would highly recommend.
This removal was a joke. The removal men were almost 2hours late obviously inexperienced and extremely slow. Then refused to carry my items into the house after I pointed it out to them There after they started speaking in a foregin language. My own friends helping were faster at getting everything off the van and inti the house...like I said a joke!
Great driver - second time in a row using. He is very busy, so be flexible with timing. He does give a reliable estimate if you call ahead the day of. Overall, a great move.
Really good team, very hard working, looked after everything with care, went above and beyond and very attentive to what we needed.
The guys were really pleasant and helpful. I certainly would recommend that we use them again.
They were absolute troopers but had had a really long day. I think it would be better for drivers to be only able to take jobs when they felt they had the energy to. No disrespect to them or their trade, but they had been moving people out of their homes all day with only bottles of water as their fuel. I felt sorry for them, but ultimately it meant some things were carried a bit carelessly and not as fast as we would would have liked. They were the loveliest people but they had had too many jobs that day. I believe they would be worried about not being given more work if they turned some jobs down, but compare the man and van should protect them from this.
All service providers on the platform are independent companies and can therefore choose when they want to work, and how many bookings they wish to complete in any given time period.
Very efficient and competent at a very reasonable price.
Late because of traffic and very nice and helpful, would use again.
Driver was extremely helpful and made the whole experience very easy and straightforward. Highly recommended.
Excellent service, received an email one hour prior to agreed time to confirm van would be with me on time. Van arrived on time and was very clean, I would have no hesitation using this company again.
Wojciech was a fantastic help, and a pleasure doing business with. The whole operation couldn't have gone more smoothly - very strongly recommended.
Arrived 90 minutes late then took about another 20 minutes to actually start moving my belongings as they had to clear out furniture left over in the van first. Did not bring any equipment they needed to secure my items and kept asking me for things to help do their job, i.e., screwdriver, straps, etc. Very slow in moving items and kept complaining any time I asked them to take an item upstairs. A few items were damaged during the move and paintwork was scratched in new house.
These guys were amazing. I had one huge couch that couldn't get through the door. I had given up on it, and was ready to throw it in the trash (even though I love this couch), but they kept trying different ways to get it through the doors, and amazingly enough, in the end, they did it!! Very nice guys. I can highly recommend.
30 minutes late for pickup, adding a bit of stress.
Was a bit due to peak time and traffic jams but the guys were super helpful, 100% !
Excellent help, very helpful and efficient. Would definitely use them again and highly recommend their services!!!
The driver was late but to make up for that he brought someone else to help and they did an absolutely amazing job in half the time! They were very polite and hard working and very careful with my belongings and furniture! Very fast efficient work! Made my move 100 times easier!!
OUTSTANDING . The two boys that came couldn't do enough to help, they were very efficient and respectful, couldn't have asked for better. FABULOUS. 5 Stars doesn't do them justice. I would highly recommend them and would use them again at the drop of a hat. Thanks guys.
Weather was very bad so drive was a little latewith traffic but was understanable and not a problem. Both boys were excellent, polite and really hardworking. Despite a note of one sofa going to another nearby address on booking confirmaton the driver did not seem to know this but they moved sofa which embarassingly for us proved not to be as easy as we thought it would because of the size of sofa. Again carried out efficiently and without complaint We would highly recommend and I know my son is already recommening then to friends.
Have used manwithavan website several times and did not expect the this. These two boys were so helpful they did everything and were always asking if what they were doing was ok. They drove slowly to new house and the driver explained he didn't want to break anything. Shortest review ever because the boys were brilliant and I wouldn't have changed a thing !
They hadn't researched the journey and that it involved a short ferry ride which was very expensive compared to the road option. I paid it, but it was a massive additional expense as they had to pay a commercial rate. However, they were fast, efficient and very courteous.
A bit late, but thereafter they were excellent.
The driver and his colleague were super helpful, professional, friendly and gave a first class service. Will definitely hire again.
Ayaz was an absolute superstar - very professional, efficient and helpful. It was an extremely stressful move for me because of family circumstances and couldn't have managed without his expertise and can-do approach. I had underestimated how heavy and cumbersome some of my furniture was, not to mention the confined space on two sets of stairs however Ayaz was indefatigable, even getting help which I hadn't arranged, and we moved everything safely. A really exceptional, friendly and trustworthy service, would not use or recommend anyone else now.
The driver did phone me to say he was going to be a bit later than anticpated! They were most careful with my possessions and did a very good job!
Driver did most of luring and provided a good service. A trolley would have avoided so much lifting.
Very nice guys. Did my job really quickly and efficiently. Would recommend them.
Apart from the blankets to cover the mattresses the service was quick efficient and professional. Their vans were spotless which helped keep everything tidy!
I've already done this survey!
Excellent service, drivers extremely helpful, courteous and friendly. Would recommend to others.
It was a house clearance and he explained that we had to come with the driver to the council tip, as he would be liable for any charges.
Ayaz is a very pleasant and helpful man! He was fast and always tried to take as many boxes at the same time as possible, so 2 hours were really enough. Excellent moving experience. We would definitely recommend him!
Got mucked in straight away, would highly recommend. Good guy.
Our moving session went very smoothly, thank you!
Top, top guy.. didn't hesitate in working around me, HIGHLY recommended!
Professional and quick move! I would use this company again. Took the stress out of the move. Very helpful and thanks again.
extremely efficient. Very pleasant individuals.
Ayaz helped take a lot of the stress out of my move! He couldn't have been any more helpful and supportive and I cannot recommend him enough!
Easiest move ever! Really friendly driver, very helpful, professional and prompt. Would use again in a heartbeat. Thanks!
This is the second time we have used the same driver and both times we have been really impressed with their service. They are punctual, polite, helpful and kept us posted with updates of their movements. We deliver kitchens in Scotland and found a great company to help us when we are in need.
Driver was polite, friendly and super helpful. Would definitely use again!
The driver was 5-10mins late and he stopped at the Wrong street. However he was very helpful and very efficient so managed to move everything to the van very quickly. Will recommend their service.
Very helpful and very patient! Will use Ayaz again!
Really helpful driver, we have booked him twice now and both times he has been efficient and helped massively with the loading and unloading. Would definitely reccomend!!
Would highly recommend this driver. He was very courteous and professional.
Very helpful and nice guy, I would definitely recommend!
Driver was ahead of schedule, meaning I didn't have everything ready for him and it resulted in a stressful removal, but he also was helpful outside his obligations and facilitated the process.
We do ask our drivers to be on time, so if the driver arrives a little early, he would absolutely wait for you to be ready. In addition, as you say, we can see that although you booked a 'self loading' booking, the driver helped you free of charge so we are very sorry that you still found your move to be stressful.
Very good, smooth and easy move. Said originally that we didn't require assistance, but he helped us all the same; friendly and knowledgeable of the city.
Excellent service...friendly helpful driver arrived promptly and got the job done quickly and efficiently...I would recommend this service to others.
He was slightly late due to an accident on the roads but he kept us in touch all the time . He was very helpful polite and efficient.
Highly recommended. Ayaz was wonderful.
Highly recommend and would definitely use again. Thanks guys.
A friendly, careful, and hard-working guy, definitely going to use his service in the future. Thanks!
great service would recommend and will use again!
Very polite, helpful and efficient driver. Would be happy to recommend.
Your drivers were outstanding and so helpful and very polite. Would most definitely use them again and would recommend others to do so. Fast, reliable and very efficient service. 5 + star service. Also as we were let down by another company your guys stepped in quickly too move us so a huge thank you too both gentlemen. Excellent service ????????????
Friendly, professional driver with prime banter. Thanks Ayaz!
Absolute five star service. Ayaz provides a truly excellent service from start to finish - we couldn't have moved without him. Managed to move everything in good time and everything was treated with extreme care! Thank you Ayaz - I will be recommending you to anyone I know who will be moving house!
Great company. Very friendly guys and did the job in no time. Highly recommend.
A very nice young man who could not have been more helpful.
The driver was very helpful and careful during the move. No broken items or complaints.
Ayaz is a lovely helpful person who couldn't have done enough for us!
Nothing was a hassle completed job in one and half hours and did most of the lifting etc won't hesitate to use again. Thanks Ayaz.
Ayaz great: fast, careful and a good packer. I was moving my 84 year old and he was so good humoured, patient and courteous.
Extra charges unfair. The delivery was finished within 90 minutes yet for 1 additional drop off - which added 2 miles you charged �20 more. Because your website is limited I'm paying.
CMV response: The drivers set their own rates for additional stops and additional mileage. These are charges not imposed by CMV and if you wish to avoid them, just don't add additional address stops and additional mileage to your booking.
The driver was very friendly, helpful and very eager to help. Couldn't have asked for more.
Ayaz was brilliant. Highly recommend.
Ayaz was amazing even though my move included so many flights of stairs. Everything moved in a decent time, the van was packed well so everything was secure. Ayaz is a hard worker always helping out when something looked to heavy for me. Highly recommended.
Ayaz was helpful, efficient and respectful both to myself and with my items. I would recommend his services.
Friendly helpful all in all a fantastic service thankyou!
Very professional and efficient service.. takes the stress out of moving.
Very straightforward & efficient with friendly, helpful service.
The straps and blankets were not required. I am extremely pleased with the service as I needed an urgent move and I got that. Ayaz Ilyes was very respectful, friendly and prompt. He made my move very simple, easy and stress free. I am definitely recommending it to my friends.
Straps and blankets were not required. Ayaz was really helpful and 100% reliable. The job took far less time than anticipated too.
Ayaz was fantastic, very friendly and definitely made my move a lot less stressful! Would definitely recommend his services. Punctual, hard working, enthusiastic and great fun ????.


On behalf of The Jackson Law Firm posted in Employment Litigation on Wednesday, July 15, 2015.
The court will rule a non-compete agreement unenforceable if it is not drafted correctly. One critical aspect of enforceability is the inclusion of a reasonable time period that the covenant is in effect. According to Texas Business and Commerce Code §15.50(a), the time limitation is not reasonable if it is vague, or if the restriction it imposes goes above the amount of time needed to protect the interests of the business.
The time necessary to protect the company's interests should be considered and set carefully. There is not a specific time frame that works across contracts within the same industry, company or job title. Instead, when an employer is preparing to offer a position, the prospective employee's duties and the knowledge specific to those duties should be considered in relation to how time will affect their application to business. For example, if the company produces computer software, the relatively quick obsolescence of the product may render a limitation of even one year unnecessary.
If a dispute over a non-compete agreement goes to court, the court may reform the contract to reflect the amount of protection necessary. While employment litigation may seem like a positive solution for the company, damages incurred before the contract was reformed may not be awarded. If the court rules in favor of the former employee, the company may be ordered to pay damages, including court costs and attorney's fees.
The Texas Workforce Commission states that competition is generally promoted, so the agreement must show that the company would be harmed by the sharing of the knowledge, but the former employee would not be harmed through the enforcement of the agreement.

Are You Making This Major Social Media Mistake?
Most people marketing online understand that they need a presence on social networks such as Twitter and Facebook. But, establishing a following can feel like an endless uphill climb. You make posts, you answer questions, you retweet and follow. But, your network seems to grow slowly, if at all.
You've probably seen operations selling Facebook and Twitter followers. The price is usually pretty low, with a price of pennies per account. It can bet tempting to buy an instant 1000-strong following. But, this is a mistake that will harm your business more than it could ever help.
No one on that list is a legitimate business prospect.
Remember, the ultimate point is to cultivate new customers. And, almost none of the followers you get will even come from the Tampa Bay area. They are, instead, fake accounts run by one or two people who will never even look at your updates. You will get no business from these new followers.
You may feel that the appearance of having a popular page is enough to get real people in the room. But often, when you buy likes, those followers evaporate within days. Many accounts get banned for spamming. In other cases, the fake account operators will un-follow in an attempt to get the unwary to buy their services all over again. Either way, it's money down the drain.
Twitter and Facebook are quick to suspend people they think are manipulating the system. And, this sort of gaming is very obvious to their system since likes and follows all appear in a period of hours. Plus, a good portion of the accounts you associate yourself with when you buy likes have already been flagged as possible spammers.
Share expert advice from the leaders in your field, both here in the Tampa Bay area and throughout the country. It shows that you are plugged in to the important influencers in your industry.
Interact. Reply when customers post on your page. Retweet compliments.
Evoke emotion and involvement. Pose thought-provoking questions. Share photos that are funny or emotionally evocative.
Keep it all up. Social involvement is an ongoing process. It takes time to build relationships and work to sustain them. By dedicating a little time each day, or hiring a professional to do so in your stead, you can build the trust that leads to professional relationships.

The University of the West Indies (UWI), originally University College of the West Indies,[2][3] is a public university system established to serve the higher education needs of the residents of 17 English-speaking countries and territories in the Caribbean: Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, The Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Bermuda, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Dominica, Grenada, Jamaica, Montserrat, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Trinidad and Tobago, and Turks and Caicos Islands. Each country is either a member of the Commonwealth of Nations or a British Overseas Territory. The aim of the university is to help 'unlock the potential for economic and cultural growth' in the West Indies, thus allowing improved regional autonomy.[4] The University was originally instituted as an independent external college of the University of London.[5]
The University has produced students who have excelled in a number of disciplines such as the arts and sciences, business, politics, and sports. Notable alumni and faculty include two Nobel Laureates[6], 72 Rhodes Scholars, 3 Gates Cambridge Scholarship winners, 1 Emmy award winner,[7] 1 Man Booker Prize winner, 1 American Book Awards winner, 18 current or former Caribbean Heads of Government, an Olympic medallist and other award winners. The university's cricket team previously participated in West Indian domestic cricket, but now participates as part of a Combined Campuses and Colleges team.
The UWI campus in Mona, Jamaica serves as the headquarters of the UWI system. Aside from UWI Mona, it has four major university centres: UWI Cave Hill (Barbados), UWI St. Augustine (Trinidad and Tobago), UWI Five Islands (Antigua and Barbuda), and the regional UWI Open Campus that is scattered among UWI-funding Caribbean nations.

The university was founded in 1948, on the recommendation of the Asquith Commission[8] through its sub-committee on the West Indies chaired by Sir James Irvine.[9] The Asquith Commission had been established in 1943 to review the provision of higher education in the British colonies. Initially in a special relationship with the University of London, the then University College of the West Indies (UCWI) was seated at Mona, about five miles from Kingston, Jamaica. The university was based at the Gibraltar Camp used by evacuated Gibraltarians during the war.[10][11]
Seeking to address a need for medical care the first faculty established was a medical school.[2] The foundation stone for a hospital was added in 1949 and the University College Hospital of the West Indies opened in 1953. On 18 January 1953, Sir Winston Churchill visited the hospital on 18 January 1953 and unveiled a plaque in recognition of the contribution made by the government of the United Kingdom to the hospital.[2] The hospital was renamed the University Hospital of the West Indies in 1967 when the University gained full university status.[2] The hospital offers patient care, the hospital also facilitates research and teaching along with the Medical Services department of the Mona campus of the University of the West Indies.[12]
The University College achieved independent university status in 1962. The St Augustine Campus in Trinidad, formerly the Imperial College of Tropical Agriculture (ICTA), was established in 1960, followed by a school established along University Row, at the Deep Water Harbour of Barbados in 1963, later seated at the present Cave Hill Campus in 1967. The establishment of the Open Campus, University Centres, headed by a Resident Tutor, were established in each of the other 13 contributing territories thereafter.
In 1950, Princess Alice, Countess of Athlone, the last surviving granddaughter of Queen Victoria, became the first Chancellor of the University College of the West Indies.
Sir William Arthur Lewis was the first Vice-Chancellor under the UWI's independent Charter. A native of St Lucia, he served as the first West Indian Principal of the UCWI from 1958 to 1960 and as Vice-Chancellor from 1960 to 1963. He was succeeded by Sir Philip Sherlock (a Jamaican and one of the UWI's founding fathers) who served as Vice-Chancellor from 1963 to 1969. Sir Roy Marshall, a Barbadian, was the next Vice-Chancellor, serving from 1969 to 1974. He was succeeded by Dr Aston Zachariah Preston, a Jamaican, who died in office on 24 June 1986, having served from 1974. The fifth Vice-Chancellor was Sir Alister McIntyre, who served from 1988 to 1998, followed by alumnus and Professor Emeritus Rex Nettleford who served from 1998 to 2004. The current Vice-Chancellor is Professor Sir Hilary Beckles, who succeeded Professor E. Nigel Harris in May 2015.
The University of the West Indies Museum catalogs and exhibits some of the university's history.
University of the West Indies System
The UWI is the largest, most longstanding higher education provider in the Commonwealth Caribbean, with five constituent campuses:
Mona in Jamaica
St. Augustine in Trinidad and Tobago,[13]
Cave Hill in Barbados,[14]
Five Islands, Antigua and Barbuda[15]
Open Campus[16] serving 17 Caribbean island-nations.
The following are the satellite campuses of the university system:
Mount Hope Campus in Mount Hope, Trinidad and Tobago (houses the Faculty of Medical Sciences of UWI St. Augustine)
St. Augustine South Campus at Debe in the Penal-Debe region, Trinidad and Tobago (extension campus of UWI St. Augustine)[17][18]
Western Jamaica Campus in Montego Bay, Jamaica (extension campus of UWI Mona)
Centre for Hotel and Tourism Management in Nassau, Bahamas (extension campus of UWI Mona)
School of Clinical Medicine and Research in Nassau, Bahamas (extension of the medical programme at UWI St. Augustine)[19]
The other contributing countries are served by the Open Campus.[20]
There have been various proposals to add one or more campuses on other islands to expand the UWI system, such as a campus at Hope, Grenada.[21][22] The campus at Five Islands, Antigua and Barbuda opened in 2019.
Articulation and Franchised Programmes
In addition to programmes offered directly by one of the faculties of the University, the UWI also extends accessibility to its programmes through articulation agreements and franchise arrangements with regional institutions. In many of these arrangements, students are able to study in their home countries for the first one or two years before going to a landed campus for the third (and fourth) year.[23] In the case of articulation agreements, the local institution develops its own programme and the UWI agrees to recognise it as equivalent to the first year or two of a specific UWI programme. In the case of a franchise programme, the local institution delivers exactly the programme as offered by UWI. This is usually the first year or two, but can be the full bachelor's degree on occasion.
The University of the West Indies has initiated several international partnerships. In 2016, UWI and the Global Institute for Software Technology (GIST) established the UWI-China Institute for Information Technology.[24] Starting in the summer of 2018, students in the programme on the Cave Hill and Mona campuses will travel to Suchou, China for two years. studying both Mandarin and software engineering.[25]
The UWI-SUNY Center for Leadership and Sustainable Development (CLSD) was established in 2017 on SUNY's Empire State campus in Manhattan.[24][26] The centre is designed to assist the Commonwealth Caribbean in meeting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. In addition to research and advocacy, plans are underway to offer a joint master's degree in sustainability and leadership.[27]
In 2017, the University of Lagos (UNILAG) and the UWI established the UNILAG-UWI Institute of African and Diaspora Studies.[24][28] The institute conducts research and offers a master's degree in African and Diaspora Studies.[27]
Also in 2017, UWI and the University of Johannesburg (UJ) signed a memorandum of agreement (MoA) to establish the Institute for Global Africa Affairs.[27] The Institute was launched in 2018 and will offer a joint master's degree in Global African Studies.[29]
In 2020, UWI and the University of Havana inked an agreement to jointly establish the Institute for the Sustainable Development of the Caribbean. UWI Mona will lead the initiative from the UWI side, with the deans of the Faculty of Science and Technology and the Dean of the Faculty of Medical Sciences taking the lead.[30]
Other joint programmes exist or are in the planning stages.[24] For example, the University of New Brunswick and the Cave Hill Campus jointly offer a Master of Science in Sport Sciences. Brock University and UWI have recently signed a memorandum of understanding to consider the establishment of an Institute in Canada-Caribbean Studies.[31]
The University of the West Indies is a multi-campus, international university with several faculties and schools, some of which are replicated on all four physical main campuses. The Open Campus does not have a faculty structure. The distribution of the faculties (called schools at Five Islands) is listed below.

Culture, Creative and Performing Arts
A new Faculty of Culture, Creative and Performing Arts has been approved to be established on 1 August 2020 at the Cave Hill Campus.[35][36][37]
Prior to the establishment of a medical school in the Caribbean, most doctors were trained in the United Kingdom, with a smaller group trained in the United States of America. This was costly, not attuned to the specific needs of the communities the doctors would serve, and risked the trained doctors remaining in their countries of training.
The Faculty of Medical Sciences [38] was the first faculty to be established in the then University College.[39] This is because of the pressing need for more (locally trained) doctors to treat conditions such as tuberculosis, yaws, tetanus, typhoid, infant malnutrition and illnesses related to diarrhea. The establishment of medical schools in the colonies was replicated in the Gold Coast, Nigeria, Rhodesia and Uganda.[39] The inaugural entering class in 1948 consisted of 33 students from across the Caribbean, selected from more than 600[40] or almost 800[39] applicants. As the university college was then affiliated with the University of London, the curriculum reflected University of London's curriculum, with the addition of preventative and tropical medicine. Degrees were awarded under the University of London name until 1962, reflective of the role the University played in administering the programme and providing the teaching staff.[39] In addition to the standard five-year course, a pre-course science year was required for students without adequate preparation in that area. The University Hospital of the West Indies, an acute tertiary hospital, provided the initial context for clinical education.
Expansion of the capacity of the Faculty followed several steps. In addition to population growth, the exodus of medical graduates to North America, never to return, exacerbated the need to increase the output of doctors.[40] In the 1960s, it was possible to complete the clinical clerkship element of training in Trinidad and Tobago (at the Port of Spain General Hospital) and in Barbados (at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital), as well as in Jamaica.[39] In 1989, the medical school at the St. Augustine campus opened. However, rather than adopt the 'traditional' existing curriculum at the Mona school, it adopted a problem-based approach.[40] Mona, which had already carried out some curricular reform due to World Health Organization recommendations to place greater emphasis on community health promotion and protection, and St. Augustine, had different medical school curricula, though the graduates took the same qualifying exams. Moreover, St. Augustine's Faculty of Medical Sciences included not just a School of Medicine, but also Schools of Dentistry, Veterinarian Medicine, Nursing and Pharmacy, which necessitated some sharing of resources.[39][40] In 2008, the clerkships in Barbados were fully developed into a medical school at the Cave Hill campus. Around the same time, the UWI School of Clinical Medicine and Research was established from an existing programme allowing clerkships to be undertaken in Nassau, under the direction of the St. Augustine campus.[40] The School offers the final two years of the five-year programme.
Specialist Medical Training
Similar to the general training, specialist training was progressively made available through the UWI. For example, anaesthesia was initially provided by untrained doctors, nurses, and pharmacists, leading to high morbidity and mortality rates. Initially, doctors were sent overseas for a year of post-graduate training. While the Faculty was established in 1948, the one-year post-graduate diploma in anaesthetics did not begin until 1966 at the Mona Campus. St. Augustine and Cave Hill added the diploma in 1976. However, Mona was already moving towards a four-year Doctor of Medicine Anaesthetics degree, first offered in 1974. Eventually, this more specialised degree (extended to include intensive care) was extended to the other two campuses in 1984 while the one-year programme was discontinued in 1994.[41]
While improvements were being made to the training of physicians as anaesthesiologists, there continued to be a shortage of trained personnel in rural areas. In Jamaica, an initiative to train nurse anaesthetists started, with nurses first sent to the US and to Cuba, followed by the establishment of the Jamaica School of Nurse Anaesthetists in 1981, which continues to this day (2019) with the Ministry of Health. This is in addition to specialised additional training for nurses in intensive care which began in 1969.[41]
Dentist Training
Two of the three faculties of medical sciences offer dentistry. The St. Augustine campus was the first to offer a dental school. It opened in 1989, the first dental school in the anglophone Caribbean. The inaugural class of roughly 20 students was mostly from Trinidad and Tobago, with a couple of students each from Jamaica and St. Vincent and the Grenadines. The initial curriculum was modeled on that found in the UK, with the intention to seek recognition from British authorities. It is possible to the exam for membership of the Faculty of Dental Surgery of the Edinburgh-based Royal College of Surgeons.[42]
Starting in 2004, the medical programmes in the Caribbean ceased to be accredited by the United Kingdom-based General Medical Council, as the UK re-focussed more on integration with Europe.[39] UWI was a key player in the establishment of the Caribbean Accreditation Authority for Education in Medicine and other Health Professions (CAAM-HP). The three UWI medical schools are accredited together, despite differences in curriculum, and are currently accredited with conditions.[43] The dental school at St. Augustine is probationary accredited while the dental school at Mona has accreditation with conditions.[43] The veterinarian medical school at St. Augustine is also accredited with conditions.[43] Efforts are underway to align the curriculum and admission standards of the three medical schools.[40]
Regional Competition
Even with expansion, the UWI medical schools are facing new competition. Many for-profit medical schools have been established in the Caribbean region, with the first established in Grenada in 1976.[39] Generally, these schools cater to students from the United States but they sometimes offer scholarships to local students, providing an alternative to UWI programmes or going abroad for medical education to Canada, the United Kingdom or the United States. The quality of these offshore medical schools differ,[39] though some are accredited by the CAAM-HP.[43]
The Faculty of Medicines has a research arm called the Caribbean Institute for Health Research (CAIHR), formerly the Tropical Medicine Research Institute (TMRI). The CAIHR comprises the George Alleyne Chronic Disease Research Centre, based on the Cave Hill Campus, and three units all based on the Mona Campus: the Tropical Metabolism Research Unit, the Sickle Cell Unit and the Epidemiology Research Unit.[40] Continuing medical education is provided in different ways among the various countries with the medical associations taking the lead in some countries and the medical schools in others.[40]
Prior to the establishment of the Faculty of Law at the UWI, residents of the anglophone Caribbean would travel primarily to the United Kingdom to study.[44] There, a prospective lawyer would join one of the Inns of Court, receiving lodging and training and undergoing examinations. The training focused on the legal system and social context of England, which did not correspond to legal practice in the Caribbean.[44] It was also expensive. For the legal profession in England, the influx of prospective lawyers from around the British Commonwealth was beginning to strain resources. Efforts were underway to limit foreign students in legal studies in England, and this was another reason to establish legal training in the Caribbean.
The Faculty of Law was initially established in 1970 at the Cave Hill Campus, in Barbados,[45] but the first year of the degree was available at each campus (and the University of Guyana in Guyana).[44] This structure served, inter alia, to create a regional institution (the Faculty) and a regional identity within the profession. Incrementally, courses from the second and third year of the law programmes were introduced at St. Augustine and Mona, allowing students to take more and more of the degree on those campuses, rather than having to study at Cave Hill. It is now possible to complete the law degree at each campus.[45]
Following completion of the UWI law degree, graduates who intend to practice must complete a two-year practical professional training programme at one of three law schools in the Caribbean. The Eugene Dupuch Law School in The Bahamas is normally for citizens of the Bahamas, the British Virgin Islands and the Turks and Caicos Islands. The Norman Manley Law School in Jamaica has allocated citizens from Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, Belize, Jamaica, Montserrat, and St. Kitts and Nevis. The Hugh Wooding Law School in Trinidad and Tobago serves Barbados, Dominica, Grenada, Guyana, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and Trinidad and Tobago.[44][45] The three schools were established by the Caribbean Council of Legal Education. Ironically, despite the Faculty of Law having been founded in Barbados, that country does not have a law school, though one has been suggested.[46]
The first law students, beginning studies in October 1970, consisted of 24 students in Jamaica, nineteen in Trinidad and Tobago, 35 in Barbados, and thirteen Guyana.[44] Two years later, almost 300 students were enrolled in the Faculty. The first graduates entered the profession in 1975.
Access to the Faculty of Law and to the Law Schools are controlled by the institutions. However, costs can vary depending on whether the applicant's country has paid contributory grants to the Faculty or the School. Not all countries did. Therefore, applicants from non-contributing countries would be considered after those from contributing countries and their fees would be higher.[44]
Faculty of Sport
Launched in 2017, the UWI Faculty of Sport integrates teaching and research, professional development, community partnerships, and co- and extra-curricular student sport through three main units: Professional Programmes, Outreach & Projects Unit, Co-curricular & Intramural-Activity Unit and the Academic Programme & Activity Unit. The faculty is made up of four Academies of Sport: Cave Hill Academy of Sport, Open Campus Academy of Sport, Mona Academy of Sport and St Augustine Academy of Sport.[47][48]
UWI Press
Founded in 1992, the University of the West Indies Press is a department within The University of the West Indies system located in Jamaica.[49] Supported by a regionally assembled board or directors, UWI Press acts as the overall publishing arm of the main UWI campuses, and its faculty and student body of the Open Campus where it additionally serves the diverse network of 17 countries and territories. As an entity that caters to a readership around the world, UWI Press maintains a main commitment to traditional fields of: Caribbean history, social sciences, political science and cultural studies.
In the 2020 Times Higher Education World University Rankings, UWI ranked in the 501-600 band.[50] The 2020 Times Higher Education ranks UWI 18th when compared with Latin American University rankings and is ranked first in the Caribbean.[51]

Q: return mocked object for function defined in stream.map I have a requirement to mock a dependent class that contains a function F< R,C >.
Class to be tested:
class ClassToBeTested{
 @Autowired
 DependentClass dependentClass;

 public String doSomething(List<Person> list){
  ...
    list.stream().filter(p->p.getAge()>28).
    map(dependentClass.transformToEmployee).
    collect(Collectors.toList());
 ...
}

DependentClass snippet:
public Function<R, C> transformToEmployee = new Function() {
        public C apply(R rrd) {
            C cc = new C();
            if (rrd == null) {
                return cc;
            } else {
                ccInfo.setName(rrd.getFirstName()+ rrd.getLastName());
                ccInfo.setAge(rrd.getAge);
                return cc;
            }
        }
};

Testing class snippet:
@Test
public void testDoSomething(){
...
   Function<R, C> info =new TestHelper().transformToEmployee;
   info.apply(r);
   when(mockedDependentClass.transformToEmployee).thenReturn(info);
...
}

And now I see this exception in console.
when() requires an argument which has to be 'a method call on a mock'.

A: Change this line:
when(mockedDependentClass.transformToEmployee).thenReturn(info);
to this:
when(mockedDependentClass.transformToEmployee()).thenReturn(info);
and that should solve your problem (notice the addition of () ).
Note that mockedDependentClass must be a mock, created either with @Mock or with Mockito.mock(....)

Fu capitano durante la guerra civile americana, membro del Senato del Wisconsin per il partito repubblicano dal 1887 al 1891 e il 19º governatore del Wisconsin dal 1897 al 1901.

Biografia
Scofield nacque nella contea di Clearfield, in Pennsylvania, il 28 marzo 1842. Divenne apprendista tipografo nella sede di un giornale di Indiana, in Pennsylvania, e lavorò nel settore dei giornali per un certo numero di anni.

Scofield combatté nella guerra civile americana come membro dell'11º reggimento della riserva della Pennsylvania. Divenuto luogotenente, dopo la battaglia di South Mountain fu promosso capitano. Partecipò a tutte le battaglie del suo reggimento fino alla Battaglia del Wilderness il 5 maggio 1864, quando fu fatto prigioniero ed erroneamente riportato come morto. Fu prigioniero per dieci mesi, durante i quali fu detenuto nelle prigioni del sud prima di essere rilasciato a Wilmington, nella Carolina del Nord, il 1º marzo 1865. Fu promosso maggiore dopo la sua liberazione.

Scofield lavorò poi come ingegnere per la Atlantic and Great Western Railroad. Nel 1868, si trasferì a Oconto, nel Wisconsin, dove entrò nell'industria del legname e divenne un dirigente nella Marinette Mill Co. Entrò in politica quando fu eletto al Senato del Wisconsin nel 1886 come repubblicano battendo il democratico Amos Holgate. Fu nominato per vari comitati permanenti su progetti di legge e sulle ferrovie.

Nel 1896 Scofield fu eletto come il 19º Governatore del Wisconsin. Entrò nella corsa governativa come conservatore contro il progressista repubblicano Robert M. La Follette Vincendo la nomination repubblicana al sesto scrutinio, sconfisse il suo avversario democratico Willis C. Silverthorn. Durante il suo mandato stabilì un sistema contabile centrale e sovrintese alla revisione delle leggi bancarie dello stato. Aumentò i fondi della scuola pubblica e aiutò le truppe a servire nella guerra ispano-americana. Dopo aver completato un secondo mandato in carica, tornò ai suoi interessi commerciali in Oconto.
Scofield morì nella sua casa di Oconto il 3 febbraio 1925 (età di 82 anni). È sepolto nel cimitero di Evergreen a Oconto. Sposò Agnes Potter (1850-1919) e ebbe tre figli, Julia, Paul e George.
