Giants Cut Nikita Whitlock, Matt LaCosse, Myles White, Tyler Ott

NEW YORK GIANTS CUT FOUR PLAYERS…
The New York Giants have waived/injured fullback Nikita Whitlock (foot) and tight end Matt LaCosse (knee). The team also waived wide receiver Myles White and long snapper Tyler Ott.
If Whitlock and LaCosse make it through waivers, both will likely be added to the Giants Injured Reserve. Whitlock suffered a mid-foot sprain during Saturday's preseason against the Jets that may require surgery. LaCosse injured his knee in practice several weeks ago and is expected to undergo surgery.
Whitlock was originally signed by the Cincinnati Bengals as a rookie free agent after the 2014 NFL Draft, but was cut and signed by the Dallas Cowboys to their Practice Squad. The NFL suspended Whitlock in November 2014 for violating the league's policy on performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs) and the Cowboys terminated his Practice Squad contract. The Giants signed him to the Practice Squad in December 2014. Whitlock surprisingly beat out fullback Henry Hynoski in training camp in 2015. Whitlock ended up playing in 14 games with five starts until he was placed on Injured Reserve in December 2015 with a knee injury. He had no touches as a rusher or receiver. A collegiate defensive tackle, Whitlock also received a limited number of snaps at defensive tackle in pass rush situations for the Giants in 2015. He finished the season with six tackles and a sack.
LaCosse was originally signed by the Giants as an undrafted rookie free agent after the 2015 NFL Draft. The Giants waived/injured him in early August with a hamstring injury. LaCosse then spent some time with the Jets in the preseason. The Giants re-signed him to the Practice Squad in November and the 53-man roster in December 2015. He played in two games and finished with three catches for 22 yards.
The Giants signed White to the Practice Squad after he was waived by the Green Bay Packers in September 2015 and to the 53-man roster in October 2015. White played in 12 games with no starts and finished the season with only seven catches for 88 yards and a touchdown. White was originally signed as an undrafted rookie free agent by the Packers after the 2013 NFL Draft. White played in seven games as a rookie, catching nine passes for 66 yards. He spent the 2014 season on Green Bay's Practice Squad.
The Giants signed Ott in late December 2015 after team placed Zak DeOssie and Danny Aiken on Injured Reserve. He played in the regular-season finale. Ott was originally signed as an undrafted rookie free agent by the New England Patriots after the 2014 NFL Draft. He did not make the team, but spent time with the Patriots again and the St. Louis Rams before the 2015 season.
The Giants must remove 11 more players from their roster to reach the NFL limit of 75 by 4:00PM on Tuesday.
AUGUST 29, 2016 NEW YORK GIANTS INJURY REPORT…
Fullback/tight end Will Johnson (burner), right guard John Jerry (ankle), linebacker Jonathan Casillas (ribs), linebacker Jasper Brinkley (knee), linebacker Keenan Robinson (back), linebacker B.J. Goodson (concussion), cornerback Leon Hall (concussion), and safety Darian Thompson (shoulder) did not practice on Monday.
"Ribs are sore," Head Coach Ben McAdoo said of Casillas. "Doesn't look like anything is broken."
"Jasper got nicked up (knee) early in the game, finished the game," said McAdoo. "But we held him out today."
"(Johnson is) coming along, but nothing new from the medical perspective there, he's just making progress," said McAdoo.
Left guard Justin Pugh (shoulder) practiced on a limited basis. Safety Mykkele Thompson (concussion) returned to practice.
CULLEN JENKINS SIGNS WITH REDSKINS…
New York Giants unrestricted free agent defensive tackle Cullen Jenkins has signed a 1-year contract with the Washington Redskins. The Giants had no interest in re-signing Jenkins.
The aging Jenkins had a solid 2015 campaign, starting 13 of the 16 games he played in, and finishing with 26 tackles, three sacks, and 2 pass defenses. Jenkins was originally signed by Green Bay Packers as an undrafted free agent after the 2003 NFL Draft. He did not make the team but spent time in NFL Europe and then re-signed with the Packers in 2004. Jenkins spent time with the Packers (2004-2010) and Philadelphia Eagles (2011-12) before signing with the Giants in March 2013 after he was cut by the Eagles.

Cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie did a nice job of breaking up passes intended for wide receivers Tavarres King and K.J. Maye.
The first-team wide receivers were Geremy Davis, Myles White, and Sterling Shepard (slot). Wide receiver Victor Cruz also received some first-team snaps. Davis and Shepard looked sharp.
Roger Lewis and Tavarres King flashed at wide receiver.

New York Giants Re-Sign WR Myles White
New York Giants exclusive rights free agent wide receiver Myles White has signed his 1-year tender.
The Giants signed Myles White to the Practice Squad after he was waived by the Green Bay Packers in September 2015 and to the 53-man roster in October 2015. White played in 12 games with no starts and finished the season with only seven catches for 88 yards and a touchdown.
White was originally signed as an undrafted rookie free agent by the Packers after the 2013 NFL Draft. White played in seven games as a rookie, catching nine passes for 66 yards. He spent the 2014 season on Green Bay's Practice Squad. White is an average-sized receiver with decent overall athleticism and speed. He demonstrated inconsistent hands in 2015 with the Giants. White is a good special teams player.
The only remaining unsigned exclusive rights free agents on the Giants are running back Orleans Darkwa and punter Brad Wing. Tight end Larry Donnell is the only unsigned restricted free agent.

Will Tye – © USA TODAY Sports Images
The New York Daily News is reporting that the New York Giants have tendered seven of the eight players on their roster who were eligible to be tendered as exclusive rights free agents. The players tendered cannot sign with any team other than the Giants, thus guaranteeing their return unless the tender is revoked. The seven players are:
RB Orleans Darkwa
WR Myles White
TE Will Tye
TE Jerome Cunningham
OG Adam Gettis
S Bennett Jackson
P Brad Wing
The player not tendered was wide receiver Marcus Harris. Scouting reports on these players are available in the Scouting Reports section of the website.
VICTOR CRUZ STARTS RUNNING…
New York Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz revealed on Thursday that he has begun running as part of his rehab process recovering from calf surgery. Cruz did not play in any preseason or regular-season games in 2015. Cruz was placed on Injured Reserve in November 2015 due to a left calf injury suffered in August that never healed and required surgery. It is the third leg injury that Cruz has suffered since signing his big 6-year contract in July 2013, including arthroscopic surgery on his left knee in 2013 and career-threatening patellar tendon surgery on his right knee in 2014.
"I've been making a lot of progress," Cruz said in a BleacherReport.com video. "The calf is feeling really, really good. I'm excited about the progress, I'm excited for what's to come… I have a long journey ahead of me. I'm pretty much starting from scratch, building my legs up from scratch, which is what I want to do. Making sure they're stronger than they were and they stay that way. No more setbacks."
Cruz is currently set to count $9.9 million against the team's 2016 NFL cap, the second most by a player after quarterback Eli Manning. It has been speculated that if Cruz does not accept a pay cut, he may be released from the Giants. Cruz recently said that he believed there was an "80 percent" chance he would return to Giants.
"I really feel like it's paying dividends. The strength in my calf is starting to come back," said Cruz. "Everything's starting to come around. I'm excited to go out there with my teammates again. I'm excited to see Odell and those guys, I'm excited to play again. But I know I have a long journey ahead of me. I have some significant gains to make in terms of where I'm at with my calf, and things like that. I'm excited."

New York Giants Playoff Hopes Are Over
NFC East Champion Washington Redskins – © USA TODAY Sports Images
With the Washington Redskins defeating the Philadelphia Eagles 38-24 on Saturday night, the playoff aspirations of the New York Giants are officially over. The Redskins won the NFC East divisional title and all other teams in the division have been eliminated from NFC Wild Card contention.
The 6-8 Giants will finish up the 2015 season with an away game against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday night and a home game against the Eagles on January 3rd. The Giants have lost four of their last five games and will not have a winning record for the third season in a row. This will be the fourth year in a row the Giants have missed the playoffs and the sixth time in seven years. The last time the Giants missed the playoffs four years in a row was pre-1981.
The New York Giants have missed the playoffs six of the last seven years.

Odell Beckham Loses Appeal; Brandon Meriweather Re-Signed
ODELL BECKHAM LOSES APPEAL…
On Wednesday, New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham lost his appeal for his 1-game suspension by the NFL. Beckham was suspended without pay on Monday until December 28 due to "multiple violations of safety-related playing rules" in last weekend's game against the Carolina Panthers. Beckham is not allowed to interact with the team during the suspension and will miss Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings.
Beckham issued the following statement:
"I owe some people an apology. I wasn't raised to act like I did the other day. I am not here to make excuses for my conduct. This isn't about anything that was said or done to me. This is about my behavior, and I am responsible for my behavior. People expect better from me, and I expect better from myself.
"First of all, I apologize to the organization I represent, the Giants, and our ownership, John Mara and his family and Steve Tisch and his family. And Jerry Reese, who drafted me and gave me the opportunity to be a part of this organization.
"I want to apologize to Giants fans. They want to be proud of us, and proud of players like me who represent their team. What happened the other day was embarrassing to them and embarrassing to me.
"A lot of kids look up to me as a role model. That is a responsibility I accept and take seriously. Many of the parents of those kids have asked since Sunday what they should say to their children about my conduct. I don't have the perfect answer, but I think one thing they can say is how I handled myself the other day is an example of how not to conduct yourself. I displayed poor sportsmanship. And those parents can also say that when you act like that, there are consequences. And I hope to be an example of somebody who did something wrong and learned from it.
"I owe Coach Coughlin, our coaches and my teammates an apology. They have had to answer for my actions, and that's not fair to them. How I conduct myself is my responsibility. I let my coaches and teammates down.
"I am blessed and privileged to play the game I love, and I will do all I can to carry myself in a way that honors the game, the NFL, my team, my coaches, all my fans and my family moving forward."
NYG P Brad Wing said CAR's Marcus Ball told OBJ during stretch: "I'll be the reason this will be your last game." Ball had bat on hand.

GIANTS RE-SIGN BRANDON MERIWEATHER…
As reported yesterday, the New York Giants have placed fullback/defensive tackle Nikita Whitlock on season-ending Injured Reserve with a knee injury that he suffered against the Carolina Panthers last Sunday. To fill the roster vacancy, the Giants have re-signed safety Brandon Meriweather, who was released by the Giants last week when the team signed defensive tackle Barry Cofield.
The Giants signed Meriweather in August 2015 after injuries hit the safety position hard. Meriweather was originally drafted in the 1st round of the 2007 NFL Draft by the New England Patriots. He has played with the Patriots (2007-10), Chicago Bears (2011), and Washington Redskins (2012-14). Meriweather started the first 11 games of this season for the Giants until a knee injury kept him out of two games in December. He accrued 53 tackles, 7 pass defenses, and 2 interceptions.
ODELL BECKHAM VOTED TO PRO BOWL…
Wide receiver Odell Beckham has been voted to the Pro Bowl by coaches, players, and fans for his performance during the 2015 NFL season. Through 14 games this year, Beckham has caught 91 passes for 1,396 yards and 13 touchdowns. Beckham also made the Pro Bowl his rookie season.
Beckham is the only New York Giant selected to the Pro Bowl. Place kick Josh Brown and return specialist Dwayne Harris were both named as first alternates and will get the opportunity to play if a player at their position cannot participate in the game.

Giants Promote Myles White to 53-Man Roster; MRSA Update
GIANTS PROMOTE MYLES WHITE TO 53-MAN ROSTER…
The New York Giants have signed wide receiver Myles White from the team's Practice Squad to the 53-man roster. White fills the vacancy created when tight end Daniel Fells was placed on season-ending Injured Reserve with a MRSA staph infection.
The Giants signed White to the Practice Squad after he was waived by the Green Bay Packers in September 2015. White was originally signed as an undrafted rookie free agent by the Packers after the 2013 NFL Draft. White played in seven games as a rookie, catching nine passes for 66 yards. He spent the 2014 season on Green Bay's Practice Squad. White led the Packers with 16 receptions for 157 yards and two touchdowns in the 2015 preseason. He is an average-sized receiver with good speed.
"A young guy who knows the system very well," said Head Coach Tom Coughlin of White. "Can play in the slot, play on the outside. He's been used with our first group in the last couple of weeks, we've only had four receivers that can participate. So we get a guy who is sharp, who's had a good preseason, who knows the system well, can adapt to all the positions, knows the signals when we're in the no-huddle. And I think we kind of just keep going with a multiple position guy."
Myles White: "I've been in this offense for three years now, working with Coach Mac [Ben McAdoo] my rookie year, so I know what he expects."
— Art Stapleton (@art_stapleton) October 7, 2015
The Giants also re-signed wide receiver Julian Talley to the Practice Squad and added tight end Dominique Jones to the Practice Squad.
Julian Talley – © USA TODAY Sports Images
Talley had been released from the team's Practice Squad on September 30. Talley was originally signed as an undrafted rookie free agent by the Giants after the 2012 NFL Draft. Talley spent most of the 2013 and 2014 seasons on the team's Practice Squad, although he did play in two games each season. He does not yet have an NFL catch. Talley is a tall, thin receiver with good overall athletic ability. He lacks ideal speed, but is smooth and fluid with good hands. Talley has gotten better each year.
Jones is a well-traveled journeyman who has spent time with the Sacramento Mountain Lions (2011), Reading Express (2012), Indianapolis Colts (2012 and 2013), Miami Dolphins (2012), Kansas City Chiefs (2013), Buffalo Bills (2014), Denver Broncos (2014–2015), and Baltimore Ravens (2015). He has played in 13 NFL regular-season games with three starts, accruing just three catches for 42 yards. Jones has good size (6'3", 270 pounds).
WORKOUT TUESDAY…
As normal, the New York Giants held workouts for a number of unsigned players on Tuesday. Those who worked out for the team included quarterback Cody Fajardo; tight ends Adrien Robinson, Cameron Clear, Dominique Jones, and Brian Leonhardt; and defensive end/tight end Jake Bequette. Jones was signed to the Practice Squad.
MRSA UPDATE…
At the request of both the NFL and the NFL Players Association, the Giants held a team meeting on Wednesday to address player concerns about the MRSA staph infection that has ended tight end Daniel Fells' season. The Giants had their team facilities professionally scrubbed to contain any possible spread to other players and team officials.
"We had (Senior Vice President of Medical Services) Ronnie Barnes, we had team doctors, we had the person in charge of our facility in here to talk about the way the cleaning process is normally underway, and what we have done in addition to that, as well," said Head Coach Tom Coughlin. "So the players asked a couple of questions, very good questions…We still do not know the reason for the infection or where it came from…I think most of the questions got answered this morning. The guys seemed to be able to go right back to work.
"We know how serious it is, and we are taking every precaution and doing everything we possibly can. They are very, very thorough in what they've done in terms of cleaning. The basic health priorities were gone over again this morning – washing of the hands, calling attention to any type of cut or anything, anything that looks like what they call a spider bite or anything of a boil nature. Anything where the skin is turning red, those types of things. With Daniel, it was a different story, there was no surface injury that anybody knows of. It was an acute joint problem along with a temperature."
WR Victor Cruz (calf), LT Will Beatty (pectoral – on PUP), DE Robert Ayers (hamstring), DE George Selvie (calf), LB Devon Kennard (hamstring), CB Jayron Hosley (concussion), and CB Trumaine McBride (groin) did not practice on Wednesday.
"It's day to day," said Kennard. "I've probably iced it 100 times since our last game, and I'm just trying to get it right and doing whatever the trainers tell me, and hopefully I'll be back soon."
TE Jerome Cunningham (knee) was limited to individual drills.
LT Ereck Flowers (ankle) and DT Markus Kuhn (knee) fully practiced.
Meanwhile, Head Coach Tom Coughlin provided the following update on TE Daniel Fells (staph infection), who was placed on season-ending Injured Reserve on Monday: "They're thinking Thursday he'll be able to get out (of the hospital). I talked to him on the phone, he sounds good on the phone. He's very disappointed, obviously, but we all wish him well. He understands, as well as we do, he has a wife and family, he's got to get better, period."

4-Year, $84 Million Extension for Eli Manning; Thursday Injury Report
4-YEAR, $84 MILLION EXTENSION FOR ELI MANNING…
According to NFL.com, the New York Giants and quarterback Eli Manning are in the process of finalizing a 4-year, $84 million contract extension. ESPN is reporting that the contract will include $65 million in guaranteed money.
While NFL.com is reporting that the deal could be signed as early as Friday, ESPN says while the Giants and Manning are in agreement on money, the two sides remain hung up on specific contract language that they hope to resolve by this weekend. NFL.com says Manning wants a no-trade clause in the contract.
Manning is currently entering the final year of the 6-year, $97.5 million contract extension he signed in August 2009. He was set to count $19.75 million (including $17 million in salary, $2.25 million prorated signing bonus, and $500,000 workout bonus) against the team's 2015 salary cap. ESPN says Manning will still make $17.5 million in the final year of his current contract, which would bring his five-year total to $101.5 million.
Manning's $21 million average in new money on the four-year extension would rank him fourth among quarterbacks in the NFL, behind Aaron Rodgers ($22 million), Russell Wilson ($21.9 million), and Ben Roethlisberger ($21.85 million).
Eli Manning's $21M per year extension puts him right behind Russell Wilson and ahead of Philip Rivers. #Giants found the sweet spot

Head Coach Tom Coughlin said there was no update on Cruz, but he would not rule Cruz out of Sunday's game against Dallas despite the fact that Cruz has not practiced in a few weeks. It would appear very unlikely that Cruz will play against the Cowboys.
Beason did not practice on Wednesday after returning to practice on Tuesday.
"It's a little sore, so the smartest thing to do is to take a day off and see how it feels tomorrow," said Beason. "I don't want to miss Dallas, Sunday Night Football, the opener, so for me personally, it means everything."
"(Beason) was sore today and the medical people decided to hold him," said Coughlin. "We'll see how he feels tomorrow."
"(Odighizuwa) has a sore foot, and the trainers thought it was best that he get treatment and hold him out today," Coughlin said. "We'll see how he feels tomorrow."
DE/DT Cullen Jenkins (hamstring) and LB Jonathan Casillas (neck) fully practiced.
LOUIS NIX PASSES HIS PHYSICAL…
Defensive tackle Louis Nix is now officially a New York Giant. The Giants claimed Nix off of waivers from the Houston Texans on Sunday, but he failed his physical with the Giants on Tuesday and was waived. Apparently he passed a second physical on Wednesday and has been officially added to the 53-man roster.
Nix was originally drafted in the 3rd round of the 2014 NFL Draft by the Texans. He has been plagued with injuries, having knee surgery in 2013 at Notre Dame, knee surgery in Summer 2014 with the Texans, and then a wrist issue that landed him on Injured Reserve in September 2014 with the Texans. He never played in a regular-season game with Houston. Nix is a strong, mammoth nose tackle-type lineman who can take on the double-team and hold the point-of-attack when healthy. Although Nix is a good athlete for his size, he is more of a run defender than pass rusher. Nix's professionalism and work ethic were questioned in Houston.
WR MYLES WHITE ADDED TO PRACTICE SQUAD…
The New York Giants have signed wide receiver Myles White to the Practice Squad. White was waived by the Green Bay Packers from their 53-man roster when the team signed wide receiver James Jones, who had been with the Giants this summer. To make room for White, the Giants terminated the Practice Squad contract of linebacker Cole Farrand.
White was originally signed as an undrafted rookie free agent by the Packers after the 2013 NFL Draft. White played in seven games as a rookie, catching nine passes for 66 yards. He spent the 2014 season on Green Bay's Practice Squad. White led the Packers with 16 receptions for 157 yards and two touchdowns in the 2015 preseason. He is an average-sized receiver with good speed.

Instead of practicing, the Giants will hold a "recovery day" on Friday. The players will select two of six recovery stations, based on seniority. Their choices are massage, yoga, FMS (Functional Movement Screen) exercises designed for the individual, air compression boots, contrast bath (between a hot and cold tub), and self-massage with stick rollers and elastic bands.
"Saturday changes," said Head Coach Tom Coughlin. "Saturday becomes a full-speed drill for a minimum amount of time. But it does put them in the mode where they've gone full speed the day before they play."
The team will also travel to Dallas on Saturday.

Before I retired I had an old circular saw fastened to a home made table as a bench saw.
This was bought from Screwfix and while not the best, various reviews said it was worth the money.
I found out that out of the box it worked fairly well but some proper setting up was worth while for more serious use.
The handle for blade height adjustment was far too small and flimsy.
The height adjustment screws clog up with fine sawdust.
The fence did not stay at 90 degrees.
The slots for a cross cut sled were not fully in line (the table top was pressed and welded steel).
The saw on it's stand was not rigid enough.
The blade not stay sharp for long. To be fair I was mainly cutting oak and it is only a general purpose one.
The protractor assembly was too slack and not accurate.
I made a longer handle in steel for the blade height adjustment. This was Made as long as possible while still being able to fully rotate and is so much easier to turn. I clean the adjustment threads before prolonged use and also use a non- oily silicone based bike chain lubricant.
I made an oak extension for the fence. I also filed and shimmed the fence until it was exactly parallel with the blade. I then scribed reference marks on the table. This made for much more accurate cuts.
I had also noticed that the fence deflected sideways on occasion so I made a sliding clamp to prevent that, as below.
I secured a slotted bracket to the side of the saw and made the adjustable part from two hardwood strips with spacers at the ends. This had a right angled bracket at one end to hold the fence connecting bolt. The bolt was a 60mm x M6 long coach bolt with the head located in a fence groove and nuts to secure it in place. So far this has really helped.
I made a dummy crosscut sled and eventually a proper one (details to follow) and used this to check the high spots on the table grooves. These were filed until the sled moved freely all the way along the grooves. The slides, tabletop and sled were all treated to several coats of wax.
To prevent the table and stand combination moving too much I cut a piece of kitchen worktop to fit in between, this was cutout under the saw to let sawdust drop through and made the whole more stable.
The blunt blade was the cause of the blade raising threads jamming – the bluntlade produces more dust than clippings.
To aid dust extraction I added a cyclone type vacuum onto a platform at the rear and connected it to both suction points. To provide power for both I added a power strip to one side.
The final mod to date was to add two screws on one side to hold the wood pusher.

A bio-climatic house is a building designed in a way that allows occupants to benefit from the natural properties of its environment. This leads to high thermal comfort and big energy savings.
Bio-climatic design is the first step towards having a passive house.
Window orientation : 50% facing south, between 20 and 30% facing east, 15% facing west and between 0 and 10% facing north.
Indoor layout: rooms that do not require much solar heating face north (i.e., corridors, staircases, hallway) and living spaces placed facing south, east or west (i.e., living room, kitchen, bedrooms).
Windows aligned with the inside of the wall are better protected from the sun than windows aligned with the outside of the wall.

Carolina Caycedo: Aesthetics of Commodity
ICA North
Friday, August 26, 2022 -
Open Hours: THU - SUN, 12 - 5 pm
Regional Artist
The Institute of Contemporary Art, San Diego is pleased to present Aesthetics of Commodity, a solo exhibition, by Los Angeles-based artist Carolina Caycedo at ICA San Diego North.
The exhibition features a unique series of digital collages in which Caycedo overlays 19th and 20th-century stocks and bonds from the commonwealths of Puerto Rico, Virginia, and Pennsylvania.
Carolina Caycedo deconstructs the visual language of financial bonds and their implication of a colonial legacy in her show Aesthetics of Commodity.
In a series of digital collages, Caycedo overlays 19th and 20th century stocks and bonds from the commonwealths of Puerto Rico, Virginia, and Pennsylvania, calling attention to the symbolic text and imagery emblematic of the consumption of land and the economic and social systems formed through the sale of those bonds. Elaborate tableaus, vignettes, and borders extracted from historical documents highlight themes parallel to Manifest Destiny, slavery, and modern day capitalization of public infrastructure.
Bonds, sold by governments to private parties for the development of public programs including water, energy, housing, health, and education, leverage their decorative nature to influence the public into acquiring them. From the detailed borders and insignias to the fetishization of pastoral and picturesque landscapes, often depicted as "unoccupied and wild, ready to be tamed", bonds allowed for the growth and expansion into new territories, ripe for commodification.
People represented in the bonds are often the enslaved or indigenous individuals, those that were most directly affected by the purchase of those same bonds. When money was borrowed to expand business ventures, the collateral that was put up against these loans were human lives. The banks, companies, and people built their foundations on these idyllic visions, utilizing art and beauty to hide ugly truths and to encourage further commodification of basic human rights.
Aesthetics of Commodity kicks off the new exhibition season, Limitless Growth, Limited World, in which 11 local and international artists use contemporary art to portray possibilities and conversations about what we value and consume.
The regional artist program fosters artists from Southern California and Northern Baja California to Los Angeles, and east into the desert. United under a curatorial theme, the program showcases artists exploring unique perspectives on the world through interdisciplinary approaches.
Carolina Caycedo (b. 1978, London, UK, to Colombian parents; lives and works in Los Angeles) received an MFA from the University of Southern California in 2014 and a BFA from Los Andes University in Bogotá in 1999. Recent solo exhibitions have been held at Visual Arts Center, University of Texas, Austin (2021); Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago (2020-2021); Institute of Contemporary Art Boston (2020); Orange County Museum of Art (2019-2020); and Muzeum Sztuki, Łódź, Poland (2019-2020). Caycedo has participated in group exhibitions at the Institute for Contemporary Art, Richmond, VA (2020); Röda Sten Konsthall, Gothenburg, Sweden (2020); Chicago Architecture Biennial (2019); Museo de Arte São Paulo, Brazil (2019); Centre Pompidou, Paris (2019); Hammer Museum, Los Angeles (2018); Whitney Museum of American Art, New York (2018); Hamburger Bahnhof, Berlin (2018); Los Angeles County Museum of Art, CA (2017); and Seoul Museum of Art, South Korea (2017). Caycedo is the recipient of the VIA Art Fund Artistic Production Grant (2020), Art Matters Foundation Fellowship (2020), California Community Foundation Fellowship for Visual Artists (2017), Foundation for Contemporary Arts Emergency Grant (2016), Creative Capital Award (2015), and Harpo Foundation Grant for Visual Artists (2015), and has participated in residencies at The Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens, San Marino, CA (2018); FAAP/Bienal São Paulo, Brazil (2016); and DAAD, Berlin (2012). Caycedo is the 2020-21 Wanlass Artist in Residence at Occidental College in Los Angeles, and a 2020-2022 Inaugural Borderlands Fellow of the ASU Center for Imagination in the Borderlands and the Vera List Center for Art and Politics at The New School. The Blessings of the Mystery, Caycedo's exhibition with filmmaker David de Rozas, opens at Ballroom Marfa in April 2022.

Q: Google Like Search Mechanism I want to do search mechanism similar to google using NLP(Natural Language Processing) in java. The algorithm should be able to give auto-suggestions , spellcheck , get the meaning out of the sentence and display top relevant results.
For Example , if I typed "laptop" relevant results to be shown ["laptop bags","laptop deals","laptop prices","laptop services" ,"laptop tablet"]
Is it possible to achieve with NLP and Semantics? It would be appreciable if you post any reference links or ideas to achieve.

A: "Get the meaning out of a sentence" - that's really difficult task. I don't believe even google does that in their search engine;) When talking about searching getting the meaning of query is not that important...but it really depends on what do you mean by "get the meaning", anyway you always can buy yourself something like "Google Search Appliance" - its a private google search box.
All the other requirements are quite straightforward. I'm from java land soi'd suggest you to look at:

*

*Apache Lucene - if you are a developer, it's an indexer created around full text searches

*Elasticsearch It's full blown,fast scalable server build around lucene that can do most of what you are asking.

*Solr Another one, in terms of functionality equal to elastic IMHO.

Q: PostgreSQL LEFT OUTER JOIN Conditionals not working This LEFT OUTER JOIN with several conditionals is not working, it's probably something obvious. It is returning the result of all distinct sid and not performing conditionals at all.
SELECT
 count(distinct student_status.sid)
FROM studentcoursedb.student_status
      LEFT OUTER JOIN studentcoursedb.student_status AS t0
        ON t0.sid = student_status.sid
      AND t0.term < student_status.term
      AND student_status.major LIKE 'ABC%';

The result, 32684 is the count of total distinct sids, the same value returned by this query:
select count(distinct sid)
from studentcoursedb.student_status;

A: The two query
SELECT
 count(distinct student_status.sid)
FROM studentcoursedb.student_status
      LEFT OUTER JOIN studentcoursedb.student_status AS t0
        ON t0.sid = student_status.sid
      AND t0.term < student_status.term
      AND student_status.major LIKE 'ABC%';

select count(distinct sid)
from studentcoursedb.student_status;

return the same number of rows  correctly because
You are  left  joining (left join or left outer join is the same) the same table   this mean that the resulting number of rows is ever the same number of the main table
If you want a subset matching you should use inner join  (or other join  relation)

A: You are counting a column from the left table that might have duplicate rows as a result of the LEFT JOIN, but certainly no filtered rows.

A: A LEFT OUTER JOIN keeps all rows in the first table along with matching rows in the second.  Hence, it does not filter the first table.  You are counting a column from the first table.  So, the LEFT OUTER JOIN does not affect the distinct count.
If you want to filter rows, then use INNER JOIN instead.  I would also move the conditions to the WHERE clause:
SELECT count(distinct ss.sid)
FROM studentcoursedb.student_status ss INNER JOIN
     studentcoursedb.student_status ss2
     ON ss2.sid = ss.sid
WHERE ss2.term < ss.term AND ss.major LIKE 'ABC%';

I should note that I don't think you need a self join.  Have you considered:
select dense_rank(ss.term) over (order by term)
from studentcoursedb.student_status ss
where ss.major like 'ABC%';

Much simpler and should have better performance.

The Season Ahead
Hope all is well! I'm really excited to share what's coming up this year.
Last season was really fun and wild—it featured the premiere of Liminal Highway, a sprawling work for flute and electronics at Miller Theatre; Goldbeater's Skin for percussion quartet and mezzo-soprano at Notre Dame; and Will There Be Singing (called "a stunning new piece" by the LA Times) with the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra. It also heard the first workshops of In a Grove, a new opera in progress heard at the Mahogany Opera Group's Various Stages Festival in London. And last but not least, I was also honored with a portrait concert with the Pittsburgh New Music Ensemble (and received a glowing review in the Post-Gazette)—where 7 of my works were performed for two nights.
This season promises to be equally busy: it features premieres with the Calder Quartet in a concert hosted by the LA Phil in December; a portrait concert at Miller Theatre with Third Coast Percussion in March (featuring a new piece for the quartet); a brand new violin concerto for Jennifer Koh and the Detroit Symphony in May; as well as concerts in Poland, Spain, Italy, at the Kennedy Center, and more.
This coming weekend, I head to Michigan where I'll be splitting time between Michigan State (where I will be coaching students on a full concert of my work) and hopping to Detroit, where Latitude 49 and Vicky Chow will be playing my works at the Strange Beautiful Music X Festival, hosted by New Music Detroit.
There's lots more happening this year, and I invite you to check out the rest of my season.
Thanks for reading and see you soon,
