Personally, I have never been to California but my palate has traveled up and down the coast. I also have never been to Bordeaux but my palate has experienced the left and the right bank. For those of you who have traveled to these two regions, how do you decide where to go and what to do? How many days do you really need to have a good experience in Napa Valley.
Today's selection comes from Napa Valley and is the 2009 William Hill Estate Winery Bench Blend Cabernet Sauvignon. I got this one from Underground Cellar, which has had some site problems lately. The nice part about the site is that this bottle retails above $40 but I did not pay that. It seems like the winery was ready to unload some older vintage bottles as currently the 2011 is available on their website.
Among our best wines, the bottlings in our Bench Blend Collection illustrate the quintessential characteristics of Napa Valley: lush, expressive fruit. These wines are soft, elegant and beautifully integrated, melding grapes from hand selected vineyard blocks that deliver intense flavor characteristics. They are a testament to the extraordinary vineyards of southern Napa.
Color – Deep dark red with bright red edges.
Nose – Clove, barley (?) and red fruit.
Taste – Red currant, black pepper, and a hint of plum.
Finish – Long with high acid and bold tannins.
Overall, this is a very bold fruit-balanced Cabernet Sauvignon. The nose brings more spices and earth while the taste brings the fruit. It is both smooth and bold and pretty complex. I highly recommend this for anyone who is looking for a good Cabernet Sauvignon that is well-balanced.

The newly published Digital Economy Bill is broad in scope but has the ability to upset copyright infringers in a number of ways.
On Thursday evening, Jodie Foster's Money Monster premiered at the 69th Cannes film festival. The financial thriller which stars George Clooney, Julia Roberts, and Jack O'Connell received a standing ovation that lasted nearly four minutes, making the leads teary for the audience's warm reception.
Amazon makes its debut at the 69th Cannes festival. The e-commerce giant's streaming video on-demand or SVOD service releases its films in cinemas first before it's made available for online streaming which is good news according to Thierry Fremaux festival director.
In November last year, darkness covered France when ISIS targeted multiple entertainment spots in and around Paris. Cautiously however the 2016 Cannes film festival will proceed and with a bit of luck the next two weeks will run smoothly.

The 9th Home and Garden Expo (HGE) in support of Relay for Life of Second Life and the American Cancer Society, opened its doors to the public on Friday, May 19th. Taking place across nine regions, all called Hope and a number (1 through 9), the event will run through until Sunday June 4th, 2017, offering some of the finest in home, garden, and furnishing designs available across the grid.
Also to be found in the Expo is Eclair Martinek's winning garden design from the recent Filling the Cauldron event, and very much a place to visit and enjoy.
As well as providing the opportunity to discover the best in housing designs ans itself, there will be a wide range of events going on through the two weeks of HGE, including talks, classes, entertainment, three breedable auctions, a roller coaster However, at the time of writing this article, the event website is conspicuous for its absence of any schedule or significant list of activities, so an eye should be kept on the Home and Garden website for updates.
The 3rd annual Unmasking a Cure Medieval Faire opened its gates on Friday, May 19th, and will run through until Sunday, June 18th, inclusive. Whether you are into medieval role-play or not, the Faire is offering a host of events and activities right throughout the week, with something for just about everyone to try or enjoy – all with the aim of raising funds for RFL of SL.
The event, organised by a dedicated team of Unmasking A Cure RFL Team volunteers, features a wide range of events and activities and a programme of entertainments. There is, for example, the 5th annual UAC Grand Joust, with eight preliminary rounds leading up to the Grand Joust on the final day of the Faire; a Trivi-a-thon on Sunday, June 10th starting at 08:00; and the 2nd annual Relay Run around the event race track on Saturday, June 25th at 19:00 SLT.
This year, the event is taking place across two regions hosting the jousting tilts, gorse racing course, the sword fighting / mêlée amphitheatre, the archery butts, gotya garden, and a traveller's camp. Some 80 merchants are participating in this year's event, and on the entertainment front, the ChangHigh Sisters will be performing alongside top names from the SL arena of live performers, and there will be a stable of DJs to keep folk happy throughout the month.
The activities at the faire are open to all to try, while the merchants offer plenty of scope for shopping – including items available with proceeds to RFL of SL. Table games can also be found by those seeking quieter pursuits or a break from shopping.
Period role-plays are especially welcome, and are invited to visit the faire in character and explore the two regions. For those who would like to fully immerse themselves in the atmosphere, there is a limited number of furnished cottages and tents available for rent for L$250 a week or L$1,000 for a month, with proceeds going to RFL of SL.
For full details of the event, please refer to the Unmasking A Cure website.
The 2017 Second Life Science Fiction Convention touched-down safely on the main grid on Friday, March 24th, ready to embark Second Life residents on flights of intergalactic adventure and fancy which will continue through until April 2nd, 2017.
Active across six elemental themed regions, the convention this year celebrates its 10th anniversary. Once again, it presents the best in Second Life science-fiction related role-play, with some of the top sci-fi role-play groups, content creators and designers represented within the regions, all bound together in the aim of raising funds for Relay for Life of Second Life and the American Cancer Society.
As well as the role-play group, designers, visiting folk, and intriguing region layouts, the event features a range of entertainment and presentations. So much is going on through the week in fact, that the best way of staying up-to-date on things is to check the convention's event calendar. This can also be found at strategic points scattered throughout all of the convention's regions on browsable display boards, so keeping up-to-speed on where to go and what to see is pretty easy.
Life (Forty Two) – the centre-most region, and possibly the best landing point for explorations on foot.
Note that all of the regions are rated Moderate. For intra-region getting around, there is a monorail systems and a network of stargates – although these didn't appear to be working on my visit (possibly one of the Energy Lifeforms of M4C-862 was getting up to mischief…). Also, when visiting the landing points, keep an eye out for the free Sci-Fi Con 2017 outfits by Design's Designs, which can be obtained for the exceptionally most fee of L$2, and which comes in both Fitmesh and standard mesh sizes.
I confess, I didn't fully get the elemental theme with the convention; I'd have expected "Air" to be – well, in the air, rather than on a hill, and "Water" to perhaps be more aquatic. But this is a minor quibble in the scheme of things, as there is a lot to see, and I did particularly enjoy poking around the cityscape of "Water". To escape the worst of the inevitable lag, you might want to disable shadows if you usually run with them enabled and drop your draw distance down if you normally have it set to a couple of hundred metres or more, other than for when taking photos.
So, as I'm prone to say when previewing this event: whatever your interest in science fiction, be sure to set your phaser on fun and head back to the future with a visit to the SL Sci-Fi convention. So say we all!

There's a snake on the Chemistree.
No, really – there's a snake on the tree. Why? Good question.
Julian Harrison, a PhD student with the UOW School of Chemistry, is behind the plastic reptile on one of the bottom branches. He's studying the particular type of neurotoxin used by Australian snakes. He says the structure of the molecule is unique to our corner of the world. Tiger snakes, death adders (they sound fluffy) and taipans all have a structure made up of three components. Broken down, each of these three molecules are pretty harmless but put them all together and they can do some serious damage.
Australia is home to the most venomous snakes on the planet. Julian says it's no coincidence that they make this unusual neurotoxin only found here. Even stranger, eastern brown snake's toxin is made up of six different structures.
The thing is, scientists are only really just finding out the structures of these molecules. Julian's at the forefront of the research, using special instruments and machines to map the molecules. He's hoping that knowledge will one day allow us to make even better anti-venoms.

Florida Statute 61.13001 governs relocating with a child after divorce in Florida. Relocation is moving the child's principal residence more than 50 miles away for 60 days or more. A vacation, temporary travel, or a necessary trip to a health care facility is not relocation. Before relocating, the parent must consider the child's entire extended family, parents, stepparents, grandparents, and guardians. A parent who is relocating needs a new child custody order with a new time-sharing plan. The relocation is beneficial to the child if it improves his standard of living, places her in a better school district, or is closer to his or her grandparents.
If one parent has sole custody, the custodial parent makes all legal decisions for your child. The noncustodial parent pays financial support and has specified visitation days and hours with your child. Joint custody allows your child to live with each parent and enjoy all the opportunities each parent provides, but one parent may spend more hours with the child than the other. Joint legal custody allows both parents to make decisions for the children regarding their education, religion, medical care, and choice of friends. Joint physical custody gives both parents equal time with the child. Third-party custody is typically given to a family member. A grandparent can be granted child custody rights if a parent is unfit or died after divorce in Florida. A custodial grandparent needs financial support and medical benefits for the child.
Relocation by consent after divorce in Florida requires the moving parent to obtain the signed consent of all the people entitled to access to the child. The new agreement must be ratified by the court, but a hearing is not necessary. The new agreement must include a new time-sharing schedule and clarify how the children will travel from parent to parent to satisfy the new agreement.
If the relocating parent is unable to get an agreed relocation order, that parent creates and files a petition to relocate in Florida Circuit Court. Every parent, stepparent, grandparent, and guardian involved must be served with a copy of the petition. The petition, signed under oath, must state the physical address of the intended residence and its mailing address, telephone number, and the date of the relocation. If employment is the reason you're relocating, your job offer is within the petition. The petition must end with a statement in capital letters telling those opposed how to object to the relocation petition.
A parent has 20 days to respond when served with a petition to relocate after divorce in Florida. If you do not file a timely response, the court can order the relocation plan without a hearing. Our child custody rights lawyer in Florida is a trustworthy mediator who can skillfully find creative solutions to your relocation dilemma. Our attorney is also a fierce litigator always ready to go to court to object to the other parent's relocation with your child. A hearing will be scheduled in 30 days after receipt of your petition to object with a trial in 90 days. The court can reject your objection or the relocation plan itself if either petition does not contain all the facts required by Florida law.
Your objection must be factual. Clearly show your involvement with your child, your contribution to your child's support, and state how relocation is likely to effect your child. For example, your son is doing well in school, just joined a soccer team, and doesn't want to leave his half-brother and his friends. The judge will consider your child's age. If your child is 14 years old or older, the judge may let your child decide where he or she wants to live. Judges keep siblings together for emotional support.
In Trimble v. Gordon, 430 U.S. 762 (1977), the United States Supreme Court ruled that state courts can rule that a man other than your child's biological father is your child's dad. Competing presumptions in a highly contested custody case have been won either way. The Uniform Parentage Act gives equal rights to unmarried parents regardless of one parent's divorce in Florida. DNA and blood tests determine whether a man is a child's father with 100% accuracy. Our family lawyer in Florida may be able to help you gain a relationship with your child if his or her mother is relocating. A biological parent who never visited his or her child may have no child custody rights or a claim with merit. If you're the noncustodial parent, you need to stay in your child's life because you can lose your child custody rights after divorce in Florida.
Substance abuse and domestic violence are grounds for a custody hearing after divorce in Florida. If you got arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol with your kids in the car, our family conflict lawyer in Florida can help with a domestic order of protection against the at-fault party for the children. Good people make mistakes they later regret. If you're truly sorry, consider your business and your reputation. Your children need the financial support of both parents. Our family lawyer in Florida may be able to help you negotiate a positive outcome after your conviction.
If you move more than 50 miles away from home with your child without a new custody order and time sharing plan, our family law attorney can try to help you avoid contempt of court proceedings. You can be ordered to return the child or face sanctions during the modification of your parenting or time-sharing plan. Our child custody lawyer in Florida can help you if you have relocated with your child without consent of the court.
The court considers the child's age and current needs. How will the relocation impact the child's development? Will the relocation improve the child's future? Are both parents current and participating in their obligations to their child after divorce in Florida?
Call our child custody rights attorney to discuss relocating with a child after divorce in our conveniently located Orlando, Florida, law office. Our family law attorney devotes her entire practice to family law: divorce, child custody, child support, military divorce, modifications, paternity, parental time-sharing and visitation. She'll help you negotiate a brighter future. Our family law lawyer in Florida can also serve as a guardian ad Litem in a contested custody case.

Q: Convert UTC time to unix time stamp in C I need to know the current UTC time and convert it to Unix time stamp.
I tried using combination of time(), mktime(), gmtime() but not getting correct UTC time
Following is the snippet I am using:
time_t now;
struct tm  ts;
char buf[80];
now = time(NULL);
ts = *gmtime(&now);
strftime(buf, sizeof(buf), "%a %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S %Z", &ts);

This gives me following output as --> Time :: Sat 2015-01-10 00:14:34 CST which is adding 5 Hr 30 minutes into local time instead of subtracting 5 Hr 30 min.
Can anyone tell me why this is happening ?

A: [edit]  Re-thought the issue.
OP wants a Unix time stamp.  Such a time stamp is the seconds since Jan 1, 1970.  This is likely nothing more than the below.
sprintf(buffer, "%lld", (long long) time(NULL));

OTOH, OP also seems to want year-month-day hour:minute:second.  This is not a UNIX time stamp.  It is simply a time stamp which the rest of this answer discusses a portable way to derive.

time() returns some real type capable of representing time.  It is very often some integer type representing the numbers of seconds since Jan 1, 1970 0:00:00 UTC (or GMT).
 now = time(NULL);

gmtime() coverts time_t into a year, month, day, etc. structure for the UTC (GMT) timezone.
ts = *gmtime(&now);

Now comes a coding problem:
strftime(buf, sizeof(buf), "%a %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S %Z", &ts);

strftime() may (@Jasen)  not known the timezone from &ts.  Instead, it gets the locale's timezone.  That result is adjusted per the is_daylight_time field ts.tm_isdst.  So the following does not make sense.
ts = *gmtime(&now);  // UTC/GMT time
strftime(buf, sizeof(buf), "... %Z ...", &ts);  // print local standard time name

Instead use
ts = *gmtime(&now);
strftime(buf, sizeof(buf), "%a %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S UTC", &ts);

Consider ISO 8601 formats
strftime(buf, sizeof(buf), "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ", &ts);
//  2015-01-06T03:51:57Z

A: The return value of time() already is in UTC:

time() returns the time as the number of seconds since the Epoch, 1970-01-01 00:00:00 +0000 (UTC).

It's not clear to me why you're doing further processing.

A: Fix Your Clock
Your time zone is IST "Asia/Calcutta" (I couldn't find anything else with a 5:30 offset from GMT)
But it's printing as GMT as CST ths suggests that your computers clock is badly misconfigured.
The code you posted works fine here. I cannot provoke it to print CST instead of GMT.

Q: How to use nuget to install binaries outside of lib\ folder I'm using nuget 2.8 and I have an app packed as a nuget together with all it's dependencies
.nuspec extras:
<files>
    <file src="configs\*.*" target="configs" />
    <file src="..\build\bin\$configuration$\ABC\*.exe" target="." />
    <file src="..\build\bin\$configuration$\ABC\*.dll" target="." />

Note that I'm not putting binaries under lib\, but directly in the 'root' location.
When calling 'nuget install', it always tries to solve dependencies, even if all the DLLs are already there.
Is there a way to tell 'nuget install' command
that I don't want it to resolve dependencies?
Or, even better, a way to tell nuget that all the dependencies are already there, just not in the usual lib\ location?

Renaissance Costume Idea for a Renaissance Themed Birthday Party!
Aside from Halloween there really isn't any other time of the year that people get dressed up in costumes. I wonder why I don't see many people throwing costume parties anymore? As a kid growing up I would frequently see characters of my favorite TV shows and cartoons going to masquerade balls and costume parties. I always thought to myself how fun it would be to host or go to one of these parties when I got older. Even now with two young kids at home I'm yet to see a birthday party invite to a costume party. Maybe I will have to start a trend and host my very own costume party bash. However I predict it will be my husband and I dressed up in costumes and all the guests will arrive in regular clothes. Maybe I should try and throw a costume party for my daughter's upcoming birthday party.
Considering that she just got a brand new Renaissance themed costume, this may be a great idea. As my daughter was trying on her Court Lady Renaissance costume, she asked: "Do I have to wait until Halloween to wear this?" This is when I had a light bulb moment and thought of having a Renaissance themed party for her upcoming birthday. I mean her costume really looked good. She reminded me of one those characters that you see when you go to the New York Renaissance Faire. The headdress and gown was made really well and fit perfectly. All she needs is the rest of the King's court and a handsome prince to complete the ensemble. We could send out the link to Costume Discounters with the party invites and tell everyone that it is a Renaissance themed party. It would be awesome if the kids come dressed up as knights, kings, queens, court jesters, nobleman, noblewoman, peasants, wizards, and more. I could enlist my husband and son to help decorate our house in a Renaissance theme and we could have a big banquet spread for food.
I have to say I'm getting really excited thinking about how happy this party will make my daughter. You're only a kid once (tell that to my husband) and should make the most out of every opportunity for your children. The memories that we create now will last a lifetime. Just remember before you know it the kids will be all grown up and throwing parties for their own children.
Disclosure: We received a complimentary Girls Renaissance Costume from Costume Discounters to facilitate this post. Check out many more girls Renaissance Costumes ideas.


It's time to host a family gathering, to bring together the in-laws and the kids, or just a big group of friends. To do that you are going to need a lot of room, and that is one of the areas Gatlinburg Heights shines in. This spacious 5 bedroom cabin has enough sleeping space to hold 18 people, and plenty of games to keep everyone entertained. Needing a break from all of the mayhem inside well there is a hot tub waiting on the deck that you can spend the day in while admiring the views. If you need to stretch your legs downtown Gatlinburg is only a 5 minute drive away filled to the brim with places to explore and things to do. Your next trip should be here in the Gatlinburg Heights.

NCRFW joins nationwide fight to end poverty
The National Commission on the Role of Filipino Women (NCRFW), the government's machinery for women's advancement, joins the entire nation in the week-long commemoration of the government's fight against poverty.
Spearheaded by the National Anti-Poverty Commission (NAPC) in partnership with the United Nations, this year's campaign "Stand Up Take Action Against Poverty and for the Millennium Development Goals" centers in promoting maternal health and education among Filipino youth.
The campaign coincides with the annual observance of the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty and the White Band Day of the Global Call To Action Against Poverty.
With the Philippine campaign's focus on "Mag-ina'y Sagipin, Bata'y Pag-Aralin," the government is seriously doing its efforts to achieve the MDGs by 2015 which include the eradication of extreme poverty, achieving universal primary education, promotion of gender equality and women's empowerment, reduction of child mortality, improve maternal health, combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases, ensure environmental sustainability and development of a global partnership for development.
NCRFW Chair Myrna T. Yao said the maternal mortality rate can be greatly reduced if a woman is healthy and well nourished before becoming pregnant, if she undergoes regular medical checkup by a trained health worker during her pregnancy, and if a skilled birth attendant assists in childbirth. Women, she added, should also be checked during the 12 hours after delivery until six weeks after giving birth.
"It is the responsibility of the government to make prenatal and postnatal services available to women, to train health workers to assist at birth and to provide special care and referral services for women who have serious problems during pregnancy and childbirth," she emphasized.
In a bid to remind government about its commitment to achieve the MDGs, the NAPC, United Nations and various groups from the marginalized sectors will mobilize at least 15 million Filipinos from 17-19 October, 2008 through the "Stand Up, Take Action Against Poverty" campaign to urge leaders to step up efforts towards alleviating poverty and meeting the MDGs.
The campaign is part of this year's global mobilization efforts to urge people to stand up and literally take action in addressing poverty and the MDGs.
According to NAPC, more than 4,000 Filipino women die during pregnancy every year, or an average of 11 women daily. Poor women likewise lack access to reproductive health services, resulting in half a million abortions every year.
The Family Planning Survey (FPS) conducted by the National Statistics Office in 2006 revealed that for every 100,000 live births in the Philippines, 162 women die during pregnancy and childbirth or shortly after childbirth. Moreover, 26.6 percent of pregnant women and 11.7 percent lactating women are underweight. Anemia remains a health problem among pregnant and lactating women at 43.9 percent and 42.2 percent respectively.

Wojny husyckie – wojny religijne toczone na terenie Czech w latach 1419–1436, będące wynikiem krucjat organizowanych przez cesarza Zygmunta Luksemburskiego przy poparciu papiestwa.

Przebieg wojen
Początkiem wojen husyckich stało się powstanie przeciwko obwinionemu za śmierć Jana Husa Zygmuntowi Luksemburskiemu, który po Wacławie IV odziedziczył tron czeski.

Wojskami husyckimi dowodził Jan Žižka, a po jego śmierci w 1424 roku Prokop Wielki. Po odparciu 4 (z pięciu) krucjat:
 pierwszej w latach 1420–1421,
 drugiej w latach 1421–1422,
 trzeciej w roku 1422,
 czwartej w roku 1427,
 piątej w roku 1431
W ramach akcji odwetowej, w czasie ofensywy przeprowadzonej na skalę strategiczną i na kilku frontach husyci zaatakowali tereny (Austria, Brandenburgia, Saksonia, Śląsk) z których atakowano Czechy w ramach krucjat. Atak na Śląsk był karą za pomoc udzieloną przez książąt śląskich krzyżowcom, którzy w ramach czwartej krucjaty zaatakowali Czechy. W 1431 r. Prokop Wielki odniósł zwycięstwo nad piątą krucjatą pod Domažlicami.

W wojnach husyckich mimo edyktu wieluńskiego brali udział ochotnicy polscy, a po zawarciu porozumienia z Koroną Królestwa Polskiego, w 1433 r. wyruszyła wyprawa polsko-husycka na ziemie zakonu krzyżackiego, docierając poprzez Nową Marchię aż do wybrzeży Morza Bałtyckiego (zob. Jan Čapek z Sán, Wojna polsko-krzyżacka w latach 1431–1435). Nowościami w dziedzinie wojskowości było masowe wykorzystanie hakownic oraz taktyki ufortyfikowanego taboru. Z początku stosowane przez husytów, były później wykorzystywane przez obie strony konfliktu.

Po ugodzie umiarkowanego odłamu husytów utrakwistów z katolikami doszło do otwartego konfliktu wewnątrz obozu husyckiego. W 1434 r. w bitwie pod Lipanami utrakwiści pokonali taborytów i zawarli porozumienie z Zygmuntem Luksemburskim. W 1436 r. ostateczną formę ugody poparł sobór bazylejski, tzw. Kompaktaty praskie (władca uznawał autonomię Kościoła czeskiego, przyjęto komunię pod dwiema postaciami). Zygmunt został królem Czech w 1436 r. Wojny husyckie osłabiły pozycję Kościoła katolickiego i feudałów niemieckich w Czechach, przygotowały grunt dla idei reformacji w Europie.

"Words are stones, words can turn into bullets, we need to weigh every word we say and stop this wind of hatred", Andrea Camilleri
We live in a society where everyone, no matter where they are or what their job is, can become an actor in global communication. Thoughts in the digital world are fast, contain few words and many images and can be made public at any time. However, these opinions do not always stem from actual awareness of the power of words and of consequences they can have on other people, in society, in politics, in education.
Language is the distinctive trait of human beings. It marks our identity, allowing us to forge relationships and describe the world that surrounds us, even more so in the web, where gestures, facial expression or the tone of the voice cannot help us. This is why our role in the community makes it an act of responsibility to consciously use language, which starts from the so-called digital civic education in the web.
Starting from digital civic education
Starting from the assumption that virtual is real – the web is a tool of social, cultural, economic and political involvement in the life of citizens as statements and gestures made in person are - the classical concept of civic education must also be extended to the digital world. The previous one must not be replaced but rather complemented, updated, including technological innovation that has entered our daily life.
The communication potential of social media is huge, new generations more than anyone else can benefit from sharing of ideas, conversation and can stimulate their curiosity through an interconnected world that a few decades ago would not have been imaginable. Uncritically accepting whatever one reads in the web, however, leads to a strong risk for "viewers/actors", who can both run into manipulated, inaccurate or unfounded information, and frequently be the victims or see cases of hate speech, when language is used to convey messages of hatred and ethnic, religious, gender, sexual orientation discrimination and so on so forth.
The keywords of this educational approach, as stated in the Curriculum on Digital Civic Education issued in January 2018 by the Ministry of Education are: critical spirit and responsibility. In creating a critical spirit among young users of the Web - and among their parents, who in most cases learn from them - school and dealing with education and culture play a pivotal role in different ways. Their task should be to raise awareness on human rights and to disseminate a method to survey sources that can act as an antidote to the "dark side" of social media, consisting of hatred, discrimination, aggression, racism. Furthermore, teachers can teach students not to consider the Web as a harmless relief valve but rather as something in which the same rules and the same consequences of human behaviour apply and can give them the tools to build an inclusive and dialogue-based global culture, through the knowledge of History, the study of cultures, appropriate use of their mother tongue and of foreign languages, a method to use respectful and positive conversation. In order for this to be possible, teachers must necessarily be trained before educating students; teachers must be trained on the new digital education to be able to convey it in classrooms.
In this sense, the viewer/actor pair is a clear focal point to understand the concept of ethical and conscientious behaviour in the digital world: if we only believe we are viewers, we cannot realize that everything we put on the web is indelible, that it helps creating our online curriculum, that is the image of our person. And above all, it has a positive or negative impact on those who read what we post and we therefore have a human, professional and also legislative responsibility towards them. On social media and in the Web in general, we too often feel entitled to express anything we think without reflecting, and sometimes even to write things that we would not be willing to repeat in another context. We are part of what Marc Prensky calls cyberstupidity, that is being online without thinking about the consequences of our actions.
For these reasons it is crucial to timely educate young people to dialogue, to the responsibility stemming from being part of a global world, to the idea that when we choose a word and not another one, we are not only expressing a linguistic preference, but representing ourselves in society.
The grey area of the Web: monitoring online debate leads to doing it in all contexts
Being online consciously, now that we are all potential producers of news even though we are not all professional journalists, means not only reflecting on what we write and ensuring respect of other people's rights, but also dealing with hate speeches without feeding what Stefano Pasta, a researcher at CREMIT, defines as the grey area of the Web, that the area where no action is taken, reported and we are simply observers.
Indeed, recent research shows that especially youngsters recognize hate speech but do not act, because they do not think they have to do it. The task of monitoring and countering hate speech, however, should not be only the responsibility of the state or of a cyber police - as stated in the Manual on combating hate speech through human rights education of the No Hate Speech Movement of the Council of Europe - but should also include actions that each user can actually do, becoming a rescuer in the event of hate speech.
Among these actions appears providing an alternative to violent language, a positive counter-narrative, using the language of human rights; trying to dispel prejudice or incorrect information that can affect a group or an individual; reporting abuse if it occurs; telling victims of injustices what their protections are. What is more, if you are a victim or a witness of hate speech, telling what happened on a blog or social media - not spitefully but rather proposing a positive alternative - can help other victims and can raise awareness in those who used hate speech on the impact of their thoughts, because it is also important to take care of haters.
Besides the content, it is crucial to keep an eye on the form in which it is expressed on the Web. Too often, indeed, we read on social media some statements that look more like sentences and exclusive truths, which seem to be aimed to convince and not to discuss. Conversely, it is doubt-based dialogue that can actually make the communication potential of the Web bear fruit constructively, making it a place of positive confrontation where one can learn good practices to be replicated also in other areas of life. Virtuous behaviours on the Web are therefore numerous and are always evolving as online universe is; what really matters is understanding that the Web is not a screen we passively observe, but rather a stimulating reality where we have rights, duties and potential.
Besides companies dealing with the Web, the scope of responsibility in the digital universe does not only include common digital users but also information professionals from the world of journalism, for whom online communication has become the main channel. Something that is not always known about this context is that communicating via the Web and social media does not necessarily mean having the opportunity of being more "superficial" or of simplifying; it also means being faster and shorter, definitely, but always respecting the content that is being disseminated. Especially when talking about sensitive issues, currently including migrations and racisms, summarizing complex issues using sensational statements about the topic, which are not exhaustive or even evoke commonplaces to snatch more sharing, can be very risky.
It is not possible to know what path a specific content will follow, how much or where it will be shared, it is therefore essential not to fall into underestimation of its communicative power. A crucial example is the narrative on the "invasion" of migrants, which has been echoing in Europe for more than five years: based on data available, we know that it has not involved such a large number of people to justify use of this definition – temporarily leaving aside ethical implications - but this is what many have perceived and some media have actually contributed to it in part.
Disinformation and fake news have always existed and what has changed is that now digital communication allows for faster and above all more "targeted" dissemination. Information indeed affects specific groups of people and markets. Just think of the storm that broke out over the election of Donald Trump, which was allegedly facilitated by a deceitful and denigrating social media campaign aimed at raising negative feelings towards his opponent, Hillary Clinton, in thousands of potential voters. Today more than ever, therefore, information professionals must keep the substantial truth of facts - which does not certainly aim at being absolute truth, but at defending the right of individuals to founded information, not biased by a different type of interests, expressed as dialogue and not as an obligation.
The illusion of knowing
Umberto Eco, already an investigator of mass culture provocatively affirmed on social media: "Social media give freedom of speech to legions of imbeciles who used to only speak at the bar after having a glass of wine, without harming the community". This extreme vision of social media paves the way to reflection: online messages are basically indelible and are read by an extremely vast public that cannot be controlled or quantified. Combined with the huge availability of information of the Web, this makes the illusion even stronger of having and boasting authoritativeness on issues or in contexts that are not actually known. Endless discussions, fake news and even hate speech can therefore be triggered, precisely because we tend not to recognize those who express a competent and founded opinion on a certain theme and those who do not. The other side of the coin is that readers who can conversely be authoritative in expressing their own vision on a certain topic or have a very large audience, must consequently pay even more attention to what they post on the Web, since not only people who trust what they say can take them as a model, but also their opinion, among the many "not competent" views expressed, will resonate even more. Authoritativeness therefore implies even greater responsibility, amplified by the potentially endless public of the Web.
How much democracy is there in the language of the Web?
Digital democracy, that is the exercise of democracy using digital tools in communication and political involvement, has been gathering for many years the expectations of many, who considers it to be an opportunity to overcome the shortcomings and crises of global democracies. It is precisely on the conflict of ideas and the opportunity for everyone to express their opinion that democracy is founded, which would therefore seem to have found its highest expression in the online world.
However, although there is no doubt that online interaction is democratic and cannot be censored, we can say today that the boundary has proved to be very thin between free expression and use of the Web to annihilate any other visions. Digital democracy exists as long as other people's rights are not harmed, which must be protected from imposition of ideas or fake news and pre-established narratives. In this scenario, we often see that hate speech is hurled against individuals not so much because what they express is not appreciated, but rather because individuals themselves are not appreciated, due to groups they belong to, their skin colour, their social status, their political ideals: "The problem is not what you think, you are the problem".
Indeed the Web has also come to strongly affect the way of doing politics. Tweets have replaced speeches in the streets, have made them much more immediate, have given them a more subtle and playful way to reach people. Once again, this can facilitate political involvement of all subjects of civil society, but can also make the life easier of unscrupulous politicians who produce or ride waves of poison to foster their own interests at all cost; who use words that seem to stem from very precise ideologies while pretending that fascisms and totalitarianisms no longer exist: "It is just an analysis of reality, it is not a matter of ideology", we often hear.
"A formal commitment to responsibly use the media, first of all taken by members of the state, would be a small step forward in building a more civil, healthy and productive public arena", reads an appeal to parliamentarians and to the Government launched in September 2019, among others, by Pier Cesare Rivoltella, Director of CREMIT, Pier Giuseppe Rossi, President of SIREM and Andrea Garavaglia, Professor at Milan Università degli Studi. Politicians cannot disregard conscious use of language, cannot fall into trivial and vulgar conduct, particularly if such conduct becomes the tool to "mix" with people and convince them of the existence of new, more honest truths: those that hinge on emotions of people to the detriment of rationality.
Good emotions of good stories: contagious beauty
Protection of human beings from the multiplication of hate and intolerance speeches therefore finds its best allies in ethical information, in education and in the effectiveness of positive examples. And it is in these very conditions, in particular, that the stories of the Righteous come into play, as the positive emotions they convey can teach us that individual decisions to act have an inestimable value. The Righteous are good teachers. This is why sharing their virtuous example on the Web, becoming ambassadors of their courageous good deeds, of their contagious good, can not only help prevent hate speech, but also help strengthen democratic behaviour both online and in personal life.
Therefore one should not be a Web specialist to give a positive contribution online and an alternative language to hate: each individual can make the difference. And last but not least, conscious use of language and vocabulary has not lost its importance in the digitalised world, it has rather taken on exponential relevance. Digital communication has become our main way to express ourselves; this is why we have the duty to learn to do it responsibly.
To foster the development of personal awareness in conscious use of the Web, Gariwo has proposed the annex to 2017 Charter of Responsibility, on social media and the Web. We are committed to embed ethical behaviours and dialogue-based attitudes in our mission.
Consider that what you write on social media and on the Web has a great impact in society: it can improve people's behaviour and bring them closer, or generate hatred, feed the enemy's culture, exacerbate conflicts and raise walls. Discussions on social media are not a world apart, but rather leave deep traces in our relationships, in politics, in daily life and define our public image.
Whoever uses hate speech or is influenced by bad teachers, will trigger negative behaviours in society, which will be replicated in different contexts of reality.
When you have an opinion or a judgment to be expressed, do not think that it is always the truth, or that those who have different opinions are in the wrong or are evil. Always express yourself gracefully and do not fall into the logic of insults and personal invective. Always think of the beauty of dialogue among friends, where everyone can be enriched by exchange with each other.
You must imagine that with your personal contribution, the Web can become a great place to educate to sharing your common destiny, to bring people of different cultures and religions closer, to overcome contrasts raised by nationalisms and fanaticisms. Through the Web one can learn the pleasure of being part of a shared world, without barriers, and then contribute to educating towards a democratic spirit and a taste for dialogue. Democracy indeed is not an abstract container: it needs human beings used to respectively dealing with the others to work effectively.
Do not be passive when you observe that on the Web someone attacks others, sows contempt, racial hatred, anti-Semitism or launches crusades creating imaginary enemies. As it happens in relationships between people in flesh and blood, you can be a rescuer in the event of hate speech on the Web. You can try to educate with an open and benevolent spirit those who do not understand the pleasure of conversation and who use hostile language.
If you remain silent, you will leave room to haters, who try to turn online debate nasty and social media into a place of dissemination of the enemy's culture.
Be aware that even individual actions can become a barrier and a sentinel against evil.
When you express your opinion online, you must be aware of your knowledge and, if you realize that you are not competent on a certain topic, you can choose to take an open and constructive attitude or, sometimes, not to express yourself, so that you do not risk spreading disseminating incorrect information. If, on the other hand, you are authoritative on the topic, or have a very large audience, be aware you have a great responsibility for what you post on the Web.
At any time you can lay the foundations to stop the flow of fake news on the Web, which are produced by States, companies, and even politicians to influence public opinion, by largely investing in them. You can start by avoiding sharing or by reporting messages that appear suspicious to you. You must be aware that those who use certain tools never give thorough reflections, validated by research, but rather try to create confusion and artfully attack people to arouse in us an immediate reaction of anger and rejection. They are professionals in leveraging people's emotions and not rationality.
The Web is democratic if it is a place of exchange of ideas, of social and political involvement, not if it is used by politicians as a substitute for democratic institutions or to annihilate any other opinions. As individuals and citizens of the Web, you can learn to carefully observe statements made by those who exploit the simplification of multi-faceted concepts and events to convince you that there is a single credible point of view, and can instead privilege those who use consistent and open language, never a commanding one.
A characteristic of good is that it is contagious. If on the Web you can infect the others with your dialogue-based attitude and with the beauty of positive examples, including those of the Righteous, you will therefore contrast the dark side of the Web. Telling about those who do good, those who help, those who take responsibility for something is the best way to overcome prejudice and generalization. Disseminating the story of a Righteous who fights to foster interreligious dialogue, who fights for positive and real integration, to open up to the others, to deny false prejudice, is an opportunity to reject racist stereotypes that depict minorities as our enemies. Those who hate on the Web blow on fear and on the worst instincts. Through the digital society, you have the opportunity to raise emotions by showing the humanity of all individuals regardless of their origin, their religion and their ideas.
Through your example, you can be the initiator of a chain of good that unites the best people on the Web and create a network that isolates haters and becomes a thrust for civil coexistence in society.

MAKEA World
A Helping Hand in Africa
Why Africa
MAKEA DRC
MAKEA across the world
Makea World's first project and intervention was a response to the humanitarian crisis that followed the Rwanda genocide in 1994, collecting drugs, medical supplies and other medical equipment for the victims. This project impacted some 13,000 lives and was carried out over a period of 7 months.
In 2014, as the world witnessed in shock the ravage of the Ebola virus in West Africa, Makea World partnered with Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) to assist the authorities in Guinea to cope with the Ebola crisis. It is estimated that our partnership with MSF impacted at least 20,000 lives in Guinea.
In 2000, Makea World mobilised resources for the construction of a school in New Bell, Douala, Cameroon, as well as the provision of school supplies to the disadvantaged children of New Bell. Other initiatives were undertaken, including the ongoing initiative to provide medical equipment for a new hospital in Nkongsamba, Cameroon.
In 2015, Makea World worked with Zoomlion Ghana and AVG Koln to install a small plant in Accra for the incineration of solid waste and generation of clean energy from biogas.
Makea World partners with Dechem United Ghana in its youth development programme under the initiative of Football for the Future, which helps African migrants integrate in football clubs in Europe and Africa.
Makea World partners with Gormeyer FC Kenya in its youth development programme under the initiative of Football for the Future, which helps African migrants integrate in football clubs in Europe and Africa.
Makea World mobilised funds for the preservation of the Goree Island in Senegal, in consideration of the historical and cultural importance of this site, having served as a boarding hub for slaves until the abolition of slavery in 1848. In 1978, the island was placed on the world heritage list, under the auspices of UNESCO.
In 2004, Makea World partnered with UNESCO for a cultural exposition and concert on African art and sculptures in Germany (Steyler Missionare de Sankt Augustin), showcasing African culture with some of the sculptures dating more than 500 years.
In 2014, Makea World organised, in partnership with Cameroon Football Federation and German Football Federation, the international football friendly between Germany and Cameroon in Monchengladbach during a cultural week, the proceeds of which were for the benefit of disadvantaged children.

Today marks the 77th birthday of Jerry Poteet. I'm going to post the first of 2 articles today in his honor. 2nd article can be found here:
Jerry Poteet's JKD Secrets - Book Excerpt
Happy 77th Birthday Poteet sifu!
First Generation Disciple Reveals Little-Known Bruce Lee Teachings on Self-Defense
I first met Bruce Lee in 1964. At the time, I was one of Ed Parker's top kenpo black belts, and I had accompanied him to San Francisco to arrange the first International Karate Championship. While we were there, we decided to visit James Lee in nearby Oakland, California. His brother, Bruce, was staying with him.
The goal of jeet kune do is to stop an attack before it's launched. If that's not possible, it should be intercepted as early as possible during its execution.
James had a wooden dummy, and while we all stood around socializing, Bruce walked over and suddenly started hitting it. He exploded like a machine gun, and the power of his blows shook the house to its foundations. After everyone else backed away, I approached the dummy. Even when I put all my weight into moving it, it didn't budge. I wondered, Who is this little guy who can generate so much power? I couldn't wait to train with him.
Less than two years later, I became Lee's second student at his school in Los Angeles. He remained my teacher until he went to Hong Kong to make movies at the end of the 1960's. The fighting techniques and strategies I learned during that time were invaluable.
Throw the First Punch
One day, after five of us had finished a session with Lee, he blurted out, "Jeet Kune Do is an offensive art rather than a defensive one."
I was startled and confused by his declaration. "Do you mean," I asked, "that we should throw the first punch?"
Recreating Bruce
Having trained with Bruce Lee for nearly three years made
Jerry Poteet a logical choice to tutor Jason Scott Lee for his
role in Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story. Much of their time
together on the set entailed going over Bruce Lee-style basic
moves and footwork, as well as hours during which Poteet's
wife Fran drilled the actor in the best methods for wielding
the nunchaku. That did not present much of a challenge,
Jerry Poteet says, because Jason was so naturally athletic
that he ended up performing all his own martial arts scenes
except those that involved front flips and back flips.
The jeet kune do instructor also reminisced about the legend's martial arts philosophies to help the young star understand the essence of the man he was portraying. "I told him that Bruce's attitudes and the integrity of the individual, and that Bruce was as good as his word," Poteet recalls.
For example, Lee believed that many people who do the martial arts just execute a kick or a punch without becoming one with the technique, Poteet says. "He called it the difference between doing-where if you're kicking, you're just kicking-and being-where you are that kick. Once I got that across to Jason, he fit right into the role."
-Sara Fogan
Jerry Poteet (left) faces his opponent (1). As soon as the man draws his fist back for a punch, Poteet blasts him with a backfist to the face (2-3). He immediately follows with a cross to the chin (4).
A grappler (right) accosts Jerry Poteet (1). When the man lays his right hand on the keet kune do expert, he prepares his plan of attack (2). When the assailant opens himself up by reaching out with his left hand, Poteet unleashes a punch to the groin (3). He rises to a more upright stance to deliver a barrage of palm heels to terminate the aggression.
Audio Awareness
In addition to visual- and tactile-awareness drills, Bruce Lee employed audio-awareness training methods to quicken his students' reflexes. He would stand behind one of us while holding a set of clickers or sticks. Then he would hit them together, and we would execute a predetermined string of techniques as long as we heard a sound. Then he would stop the noise-usually in the middle of a sequence. If we didn't immediately halt our actions, we knew we had a lot of work to do.
-J.P.
Jerry Poteet (left) focuses his visual awareness on his opponent and senses an impending attack (1). When the man extends his right arm, Poteet uses his tactile awarenss and responds with a punch to the chin (2). He follows up with a palm to the jaw (3) and a sweep to the floor (4).
Lee shook his head. He explained that the JKD practitioner must strike while the opponent is preparing to attack or when he indicates his intention to attack.
Noticing the perplexed look on my face, Lee motioned for me to come forward so he could demonstrate the principle. He had me chamber my fist to deliver a rear punch, and as I drew back, he hit me.
He then instructed me not to telegraph my techniques. "Just assume the posture you would be in prior to throwing the punch," he said.
I decided to try again. I shifted my weight from one foot to the other and clenched my fists. Once again, he hit me. "This time, I intercepted your attitude," he said.
Lee explained that you should always strive to intercept your opponent's attack before he launches it-or at the very latest, while he's doing it. Intercepting is the jeet in jeet kune do, he said. Sadly, this principle and the training methods needed to master it are rare today. I sometimes see JKD practitioners wait for their opponent to attack before countering the technique. At at that point, it's often too late.
To fully appreciate this concept, which I call ATA, or attack-the-attack, imagine allowing an assailant to shoot at you before starting to defend yourself. You may get lucky and avoid the bullet, then be able to incapacitate him. Then again, you may end up dead. Not only does this passive fighting strategy violate the cornerstone principle of jeet kune do, which is to always intercept the attack, it also puts you at least a full beat behind your opponent. Unless you're blessed with superhuman speed and are facing an unskilled opponent, this is an unwise course of action because you're forced to play catch-up. (Note, however, that it's acceptable to use a passive move to attack by drawing as you jockey around your opponent to find a position to score.)
The goal of jeet kune do is to close the distance between yourself and your opponent and smother his attack with your own. It isn't complicated, but it requires a high level of visual and tactile awareness to master.
Visual awareness facilitiates medium- and long-range fighting. It requires you to be aware of every gesture or motion your opponent makes, such as shifting his weight from one foot to the other, bending his knees or drawing his hand back. According to Lee, any of those movements can be precursors to an assault. If you can see what he intends to do, you can head him off at the pass. Furthermore, you won't be distracted by an aggressor who feints or tries to nail you with a sucker punch.
Unfortunately, many martial artists fail to train to improve their visual awareness. Even practitioners with extremely fast kicks and punches often get bested by a slower opponent because the lack visual speed, and they're too slow to react to him, let alone intercept his strikes.
To help us develop visual awareness, Lee would stand in front of the class and make a variety of gestures. Every time he moved, we had to say, "Ooh." At first, his movements were obvious-such as a punch or a kick-but over time, they became more subtle-like a shift in balance or a twitch of a finger. We learned to become aware of even the slightest motion our opponent made, and that served as our cue to intercept the incoming technique. Since everybody telegraphs his attack, Lee told us, the ability to spot these motions can keep a martial artist at least a half-beat ahead of his opponent.
See With Your Hands
Another important component of the ATA principle is tactile awareness, or touch. Utilized at close-contact range, it refers to the pressure that develops as the other person attacks you and to your ability to use it to find an opening in his defenses. The uncanny ability of Lee and other skilled JKD practitioners to employ this method to detect and stop an assault in its tracks can make them seem psychic.
Lee advocated chi sao (sticky hands) drills to make tactile awareness more reflexive. Such training is done primarily by crossing hands with your opponent so you learn what happens if you exert too much or too little pressure.
"In the softness, you want to give without yielding," Lee would say. "Hardness is like steel that is hidden in silk." If you're too strong, the other person will dissolve his movement and attack. If you're too soft, he'll run right over you.
Many other fighting styles, including Greco-Roman wrestling, employ similar sensitivity drills. While this training method has great implications for neutralizing grappling attacks, you should never let skill in it convince you to play the grappler's game and voluntarily go to the ground. As he tries to close the distance and grab your legs to take you down or get you in a lock, you should stop his onslaught with a straight blast.
Sensitivity drills are also a staple of old-time boxing, and they form the core of JKD's modified boxing techniques. You should practice blocking and parrying jabs and combinations to get used to them. As you become more advanced, however, you should try to intercept your partner's jab and cut through his block with your own-in true jeet kune do fashion.
Enjoy the Advantages
As you can see, the ATA principle can be used against any type of offense. For example, if an assailant attempts a punch or kick, you can intercept his technique with your own attack. If he tries to take you down, you can hit him or kick him before he succeeds. Don't waste precious time blocking, parrying and slipping when you can beat him to the punch.
When Bruce Lee named his art the "way of the intercepting fist," he meant it. And who are we to argue with the master?

With offers out to 10 uncommitted 2022 prospects, who is Clemson most likely to sign?
Eric Boynton
Greenville News
Clemson still has a lot of work left on the recruiting trail to avoid having its lowest-ranked class in 10 years when the next national signing period begins on Feb. 2.
The program's 2022 class is ranked 25th in the 247Sports Composite. That's third in the ACC behind North Carolina and Florida State, and three spots below state rival South Carolina.
The Tigers haven't been outside the top 10 since finishing 16th in 2017 (when they had 14 only commits) and have been 10th or better for four consecutive seasons, including fifth last year and third two years ago.
Several coaching changes and the small size of the class contributed mightily to the team's down year in securing the nation's best players. Four defensive players (three ranked among the top 94) decommitted after longtime defensive coordinator Brent Venables left to become Oklahoma's head coach. Clemson signed 12 players during last month's early signing period.

The Tigers' worst finish in the past 10 years was 20th in 2012. Clemson had offers out to several players who announced their commitments to other schools during Saturday's All-American Bowl in San Antonio, Texas, most notably running back Trevor Etienne picking Florida after having the Tigers in his final three.
The schools able to beat the Tigers the most times for players who held a Clemson offer during the 2022 cycle are Georgia (eight), Alabama (seven), Ohio State and Texas A&M (six each), Miami (four), Texas and Michigan State (three each).

With the February national signing period now less than three weeks away, there are 10 uncommitted players remaining from Clemson's 84 offers for the current cycle. Five were new offers that came since Dec. 20, when Daniel defensive lineman Rahiem Lawson (brother of former Tiger and current New York Jets lineman Shaq Lawson) heard from coach Dabo Swinney.
Next was another legacy player on Dec. 31 with Vestavia Hills, Alabama, wide receiver Cole Turner (brother of former Clemson safety Nolan Turner, who just finished his sixth and final year with the program). On the same day, Killeen, Texas, corner Khamari Terrell also received an offer.
Commentary: Facing rare adversity, Clemson football creates little signing day buzz
Signee spotlight: Clemson quarterback signee Cade Klubnik extremely impressive at national all-star game
This month the Tigers extended two more offers -- to Montgomery, Alabama, safety Kylon Griffin and Dallas running back Andrew Paul.
Turner (6-foot-2, 178 pounds) isn't ranked in the national composite and his lone other offer is from Buffalo. Lawson (6-foot-4, 230 pounds) has offers from Power Five programs Georgia Tech, Missouri and Syracuse and is ranked 1,542 and 180th at his position. Another pair of former Daniel defensive linemen join Shaq Lawson in playing at Clemson and the NFL -- Jarvis Jenkins and DeShawn Williams.
Terrell (6-foot-1, 180 pounds) is ranked No. 386 and 41st at cornerback. A track star who is considered one of the current cycle's fastest players, he's made a monumental leap up recruiting boards the past month and has Clemson in his final four with Florida, Southern Cal and Baylor. The Tigers, Gators and Trojans joined Oregon in extending offers after Dec. 21.
Recruiting coverage: Where do Clemson's new signees fit into next year's roster, how much can they contribute
Paul (5-foot-11, 220 pounds) has a slew of big offers despite being ranked 1,211th overall and 89th at his position. He had very little notoriety entering his senior season, but started picking up tremendous momentum a few months back. His offers include Notre Dame, Auburn, Michigan, Michigan State, Baylor, Oklahoma State, Missouri and Purdue.
Griffin (6-foot-1, 180 pounds) is ranked 978th overall and the No. 78 safety. He has announced Clemson among his final three with Southern Cal and Nebraska. His offers include Penn State, Mississippi State, Florida State, Iowa, Boston College and Tennessee. He's expected to take an official visit to Nebraska this weekend and has talked to multiple media outlets about visiting Clemson as well.
Griffin's teammate -- linebacker TJ Dudley (6-foot-1, 220 pounds) is ranked No. 198 and 19th-best at his position. He's had a longstanding Clemson offer and last month decommitted from Oregon after coach Mario Cristobal left for the same role at Miami. He has two official visits remaining and told SI.com's Ducks Digest he was deciding where to take those trips from among Clemson, Alabama, Auburn, Florida and Tennessee.
New QB: Clemson coaches thrilled with what 5-star quarterback Cade Klubnik adds to the program
The Tigers don't appear to be in the mix for the remaining 2022 offers they have on the table. Florida defensive lineman Shemar Stewart (ranked ninth overall and third position-wise) has a final three of Georgia, Miami and Texas A&M. Georgia defensive lineman Christen Miller (107th and 19th) appears to be deciding between Georgia and Ohio State.
Clemson was among 12 finalists in early March for Florida safety Alfonzo Allen (454th and 39th), who committed to Arizona State before reopening his recruitment in late August. The Tigers don't appear to be among the final contenders. Louisiana safety Jacoby Mathews (36th and fourth) decommitted from LSU in late July and is officially visiting Florida this weekend. He doesn't have very high interest in Clemson.
