About Me
- Hometown: Fiumicino (Rome), Italy
- Field of Study: Machine Learning
- PhD Advisors: Christopher Amato
Andrea Baisero is a PhD student in the Machine Learning program at Northeastern University's Khoury College of Computer Sciences, advised by Professor Christopher Amato. His research interests lie in the areas of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and robotics.
Andrea is involved with the Robotics at Northeastern research group, and has an interest in reinforcement learning. He aims to develop state-of-the-art technologies for generalization and transfer learning. Andrea plans to pursue a research career, building on theoretical knowledge with practical applications.
Before joining Northeastern's PhD program, Andrea earned his Bachelor's of Science at the Polytechnic University of Turin in Italy. He then earned a Masters of Computer Science at the Polytechnic University of Turin and the Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden.
What are the specifics of your graduate education (thus far)?
I've started pursuing my MSc studies at the Polytechnic University of Turin (Italy, 2009-2012) and concluded them at the Royal Institute of Technology (Sweden, 2010-2012) as the recipient of a double-degree scholarship.
What are your research interests?
I've cultured a keen (yet platonic) interest in Reinforcement Learning ever since I got into studying Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence during my MSc studies. However, despite always working on Machine Learning, I never really got into Reinforcement Learning until now, which is great as it has been my long-term goal for a long time now.
What's one problem you'd like to solve with your research/work?
I'm very interested in developing state-of-the-art methods with a focus on generalization and transfer learning. As humans, we are gifted a biological intelligence which allows us to quickly reapply old experience and knowledge to novel scenarios; imagine learning a new board game: it's usually not the case that you have to test (or imagine) all of the available options to vaguely distinguish the good ones from the rest. This is a stark contrast with artificial intellect which, when facing with a new problem with new rules, usually requires a "warm-up" exploratory phase where it wanders blindly gathering extremely basic knowledge about the environment.
What aspect of what you do is most interesting?
I think most people who are not in this field don't usually understand how amazing it is that humans can make intelligent and well-informed decisions despite all the uncertainty in their lives, and how they can learn something and apply the knowledge to something completely different. Being able to replicate such a (flawed and yet) highly functioning system computationally is a huge challenge; when (and if) we will be able to do this, it will shed a lot of light on human nature as well.
What are your research or career goals, going forward?
I'd like to focus on a career in research, based on theoretical knowledge but with practical applications. I think that this field–beside being my focal interest–satisfied my ambitions perfectly because there are is so much to discover and invent, with so many wonderful applications.
Where did you grow up or spend your most defining years?
I grew up moving from country to country every 2-4 years due to my father's job, so it's not really possible to pin-point a defining geographic location. Home base is and will always remain Italy (that's where my whole family is living right now), although I've lived there only for a total of 6 years, and never really in my own home town.
Where did you study for your undergraduate degree?
I pursued my BSc studies at the Polytechnic University of Turin, in Italy; one of the core reasons being to have a concrete adult living experience in Italy, and it being the number one engineering university in Italy, and among the top-ranked ones in Europe.

CHICAGO – More than two-thirds of coin laundry owners (65.3%) say that they are generally "successful at getting customers to do what [they] want," according to results from this month's American Coin-Op Your Views survey.
While 21.3% of store owners admit that they are "not sure" about their influence in customer decisions, 13.3% say that they are not successful at all in getting customers to do what they want.
When asked if they could "get [their] customers to do one thing," keeping the store clean (32.0%); visiting on slower days (29.3%); and other concerns (17.3%), such as having customers "use [the] proper amount of soap," topped the wish list.
"Stop overloading [and] use less detergent," says one owner.
"[Customers should] understand the high cost of utilities and equipment, and why vend prices continue to rise," says another.
In addition to having customers "use certain washers or dryers" (5.3%), paying attention to signage (14.7%) and taking advantage of coupons and promotions (1.3%) were other actions store owners wanted to push on customers.
More than half of store owners surveyed (61.3%), however, say that their store's signage is "effective." While 24% admit that their signage has not been successful, roughly 15% are not sure (14.7%).
The majority of coin laundry owners surveyed also report that they are successful in getting customers to use certain washers or dryers (56.8%), as well as getting customers to take advantage of specials, promotions and coupons (47.3%).
Roughly one-third of store owners (32.4%) report no success in getting customers to use certain machines, while 10.8% are unsure if they are successful. Roughly one-third (33.8%) of respondents report not being able to get customers to utilize specials, promotions and coupons, while 18.9% are unsure if they have succeeded in the task.
Attempting to shift business to slower days is a common challenge. About half of respondents say that they have not been able to shift weekend business to slower days (53.3%), while one-third (33.3%) report having had success. The remaining 13.3% are unsure of their progress.
More than two-thirds of coin laundry owners polled say their customers respect their laundry (67.6%) by using equipment properly and keeping the premises clean, among other courtesies. The remaining 32.4% of respondents believe their customers do not respect their business.
While American Coin-Op's Your Views survey presents a snapshot of the audience's viewpoints at a particular moment, it should not be considered scientific. Subscribers to American Coin-Op e-mails are invited to participate anonymously in an industry survey each month.
The entire American Coin-Op audience is encouraged to participate, as a greater number of responses will help to better define owner/operator opinions and industry trends.

The U.S. Air Force has broken ground on a new KC-46A Pegasus sustainment campus at Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma, the service announced Monday.
The future 158-acre site will be the new aerial refueling tanker's home for maintenance, repair and overhaul operations, the service said in a statement.
It is estimated the new facility will create more than 1,300 jobs for the state and local community.
The project brings a number of hangars, ramp infrastructure, software innovation labs and engine test facilities.
The CWG JV company will build the campus on Tinker's south side.
The land was bought by the Air Force, Oklahoma City and Oklahoma County.
The service paid $8 million, the city's share was $23.5 million and the county paid $12.5 million for the land, formerly owned by Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railway Co., the Air Force said.
The Pegasus is the first phase of a three-part effort to replace the Air Force's aging tanker fleet.
It can refuel any fixed-wing receiver capable aircraft.
The first Pegasus is slated to arrive at Tinker in 2018.

Allyssa R. Lind, October 29, 2016
These simple words from a daughter to her father on her wedding day held great meaning for Gary Linfoot. He's a retired U.S. Army officer with 5,000 flight hours and 1,200 hours of combat operations; a veteran of Afghanistan (Operation Enduring Freedom, 2001) and Iraq (Operation Iraqi Freedom, 2003-08); and a member of the Army's elite 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (Airborne) Night Stalkers.
Although he suffered grave injuries on his 20th combat mission in Iraq in a 2008 helicopter crash and lost the use of his legs, he has gone on to become a high-tech pioneer in the use of an Ekso Bionics exoskeleton for paraplegics.
In October 2013, Linfoot became the first military recipient of the device through a $100,000 grant from the Infinite Hero Foundation, to empower him to participate in a year-long mobility study to help clear the path for home use. Since taking his first steps in it the year prior, his journey has been nothing short of extraordinary. Gary, along with his wife Mari and their three children, inspire all who are fortunate enough to cross paths with them. And they have continued to pay it forward and give back, reminding so many facing their own adversities that life is not defined by a single moment, but rather the moments that make up a life.
If you are inspired, please share this video and honor all those who have served, or continue to serve, in our Armed Forces.

Potted up and brilliantly blooming in early spring, hyacinths, with their heady, sweet fragrance are hard to pass up in the store. After they have bloomed, hyacinth bulbs can be saved by adding them to your flower bed. These showy members of the lily family require very little care after planting.
Transplanting to Your Garden
Fertilize your potted hyacinth once during the bloom, and once after the flowers have faded. Use bone meal or a fertilizer made especially for bulbs.
Water regularly until the foliage turns yellow, and then let the pot go dry. Hyacinths need a summer's rest after the exertion of blooming.
Allow the foliage to die back naturally, but cut back the wilted flowers with scissors to support bulb vigor.
Separate the bulbs from the soil in late summer. Spread newspaper on an even surface and empty the pot's contents onto it. Loosen the bulbs with your fingers and shake the soil off.
Chill the hyacinth bulbs in the fridge for four to six weeks, stored in a breathable paper or cloth bag.
Select a spot in your garden that receives full sun to partial shade, with good drainage.
Plant the hyacinth bulbs during September if your winter temperatures drop below 20 degrees Fahrenheit. In warmer areas, plant from October to mid-November. Place the root end of a bulb (pointy end up) in a hole that is 4 to 5 inches deep. Space bulbs 4 to 5 inches apart and cover with soil.
Mulch around the bulbs with wood chips, straw or stones to conserve soil moisture and discourage weeds that rob the flowers of nutrients.
Water whenever less than 1 inch of rain falls in a week during the growing season. Water at the soil line, avoiding an overhead sprinkling of the leaves.
Dig bulbs up in the late summer and store them in the fridge for four to six weeks before the fall planting. In U. S. Department of Agriculture hardiness zones 8 and higher, hyacinth bulbs need chilling for good stem elongation.
Fertilize when replanting in the fall to encourage strong root growth and again in early spring to keep the plant vigorous.
Every spring, replenish mulch as needed.
Things Needed
- Fertilizer
- Scissors
- Newspaper
- Garden Trowel
- Mulch
- Contact with hyacinth bulbs can cause itchy skin; either plant them with gloves or wash your hands immediately after handling the bulbs.
- With their showy blooms, hyacinths can become top-heavy. Consider staking them to help maintain an upright condition.

The Brighouse & Rastrick Band Concert Team
The B&R Concert Team members are Michael Hanson, Dianne Hird, David Howe, Gordon Ratcliffe, Graham Ward and Andrew Wilkinson. Between them they have a broad range of experience to successfully promote and organise the Band's own in-house concert promotions which help to provide high quality entertainment and help raise funds.
These include the famous Massed Bands concerts held twice a year, Spring and Autumn, in the excellent Huddersfield Town Hall. These top quality concerts have built an unrivalled reputation over the years, enjoying a keen following from those wishing to hear an array of top brass musicians perform in spectacular formation. The finest bands in the UK have been invited to appear as guests at one time or another, to combine with the home band under the musical direction of an eminent conductor of the day. The concert series first began in 1945 and has been running ever since – the 2019 season will be the 74th.
The Team also organise the popular annual Christmas concerts held in Brighouse at the Central Methodist Church on a Saturday during the busy run up to Christmas. These home town appearances are wellknown for their warm local atmosphere and are an enjoyable way to start Christmas.
Occasionally the Team has also organised B&R concerts during the summer in Brighouse and also in the reasonably nearby town of Ilkley.

text: People sometimes ask me what it's like to go to Japan. I tell them that I am almost always charged up with adrenaline and in a very upbeat mood when I arrive in spite of spending 11 hours on a plane which amounts to a very long day. It is near midnight on my body clock and I'm physically tired, but there is nothing like arriving at the airport and heading into town. Of course everyone is different but every time I see this sign I have a very happy feeling inside.

By now, many people in the Las Vegas area have probably had the opportunity to use Uber or Lyft at least once. When using Uber, a driver, who may be just an average citizen with a car and some spare time, picks up and drops off passengers in his or her personal vehicle.
Contractor status of Uber drivers could affect crash victims
What is vicarious liability in car accidents?
Let's say you're driving along a Las Vegas street, and begin making a left turn at an intersection with a green light. Suddenly, a truck comes barreling down the street and hits your car, broadside. Your car is totaled, and you are likely to be seriously injured. Unfortunately, after paying medical bills and going through rehabilitation, while missing months of work, you find out that the truck driver who hit you is broke. Are you completely out of luck in terms of recouping any compensation?
Minimum insurance requirements for commercial vehicles
Many trucks and busses that pass through Las Vegas are either coming from or on their way to another part of the country. As such, the drivers and the companies that own these vehicles are likely subject to federal rules and regulations governing how they operate their business.
When Is Uber Liable For An Auto Accident?
Q: An Uber driver crashed into my vehicle. Does the driver's personal liability policy apply or does Uber's?
Seeking compensation for a ride service crash
Ride services such as Lyft or Uber offer new transportation options for tourists and other passengers in Nevada. However, commercial vehicle accidents involving ride-sharing services pose additional legal obstacles for passengers and others seeking compensation for injuries and other losses.

If you exult in seeing actors reach the highest bars of their craft, you will likely revel in Cole Theatre's production of "Ecstasy" by Mike Leigh.
Mike Leigh's works are known for letting top-of-the-line actors show their stuff with electric results. In this production, the actors seem to have taken on the skin of each character in this group of friends and neighbors in working class London. With ample subtle gestures they add to the lines that at times you will strain to hear through the thick Cockney and Irish accents.
When the curtain goes up we see two nude actors --Jean (played by Maura Kidwell) and her married paramour of the evening Roy (played by Joel Reitsma)-- lost in their solo post-sex thoughts. That might seem like a bare-all moment, but by play's end when the emotional life of Jean unravels before us, that naked scene at the play's opener might in retrospect seem to be the one most fully dressed.
If we pay attention we see Jean's best friend Dawn (played by Michaela Petro) looking at her husband Mick (played by Mike Boyd) with tentative eyes as he embraces her friend Jean the same day Dawn had learned Jean was having affairs with married men. We see an old flame of Jean's and friend to Dawn and Mick, Len (played by Layne Manzer) struggling with his obvious attraction to Jean but with brakes on that his personal history commands. If you've ever had an ambivalent moment you can feel his palms moist as he steals glances. These and similar unspoken gestures by this able cast give depth and texture to every moment of the performance. Acting is rarely better than this.
This is a two-act play and it's the second act where we really get inside the room with the characters. In Jean's one room apartment we watch as the group gets super "pissed" (drunk, in Brit speak) and sloppy. The details of the dreariness of their day lives are a constant backdrop reference. Yet it's not a depressing scene because we fall in love with the spark within each character and revel in our intimacy with them.
It was inspired to stage this intimate production in the small space of A Red Orchid Theatre.
That this is the debut production of a new theater company promises to also make this a milestone in Chicago's theatrical history.
Now through September 28 at A Red Orchid Theatre, 1531 N. Wells St., Chicago.
For tickets call the box office at 773 747 6821 or visit the Cole Theatre website.

President Bush Gets It Right on the Status of Women in the Middle East
That being said, I read President Bush's recent remarks to the World Economic Forum at Sharm El Sheik in Egypt this weekend. I thought he made some important statements about the need to extend equality to women in the Middle East. Below are the relevant portions of the president's speech, with several passages underlined by me for emphasis.
"Building powerful economies also requires expanding the role of women in society. This is a matter of morality and of basic math. No nation that cuts off half its population from opportunities will be as productive or prosperous as it could be. Women are a formidable force, as I have seen in my own family -- (laughter and applause) -- and my own administration. (Applause.) As the nations of the Middle East open up their laws and their societies to women, they are learning the same thing.
I applaud Egypt. Egypt is a model for the development of professional women. In Afghanistan, girls who were once denied even a basic education are now going to school, and a whole generation of Afghans will grow up with the intellectual tools to lead their nation toward prosperity. In Iraq and Kuwait, women are joining political parties and running campaigns and serving in public office. In some Gulf States, women entrepreneurs are making a living and a name for themselves in the business world.
Recently, I learned of a woman in Bahrain who owns her own shipping company. She started with a small office and two employees. When she first tried to register her business in her own name, she was turned down. She attended a business training class and was the only woman to participate. And when she applied for a customs license, officials expressed surprise because no woman had ever asked for one before. And yet with hard work and determination, she turned her small company into a $2 million enterprise. And this year, Huda Janahi was named one of the 50 most powerful businesswomen in the Arab world. (Applause.) Huda is an inspiring example for the whole region. And America's message to other women in the Middle East is this: You have a great deal to contribute, you should have a strong voice in leading your countries, and my nation looks to the day when you have the rights and privileges you deserve."
Sadly, as the results of this weekend's parliamentary elections in the Gulf emirate of Kuwait demonstrate, the Middle East still has a long way to go with respect to expanding the role of women.
Of the 275 candidates running for the 50 seats in Kuwait's parliament, 27 were women. Not a single one of the women candidates was elected. Unfortunately, as the video clip below from al-Jazeera English demonstrates, not only are Arab women held in check by male conservative attitudes, but by brainwashed Arab women who believe that a woman "can't handle" the responsibilities of being an elected official. And to think this is a country that we helped to liberate.

I suspect that W. perhaps had dinner with his mother, who explained to him what's what. I can't imagine he saw the truth all on his own.

Yet his administration opposed Plan B for women and restricted reproductive rights at home. They waged a war against Planned Parenthood. Economic access is tied to reproductive rights. Great post, btw.

Yes, I totally agree with you Barbie. And as Merc wrote above "even a blind squirrel finds an acorn once in awhile."
But, since I am on a promoting feminism in the Islamic world kick, I wanted to give Bush some props for saying something that I believed needed saying.

Great post. As a former "libertarian conservative" Republican myself, I can empathize. However, instead of becoming a libertarian liberal, I would like to see us all start voting straight Libertarian. Maybe, if we take enough votes away from the Republicans, we can get, at least, most of our party back.

"Living like a king? The entourage of Odet de Foix, vicomte de Lautrec, governor of Milan"
Niki: Thanks for doing an interview with us! to begin, how did you get interested in history? especially the period you specialize in?
Philippa: Thank you, I'm flattered to be asked. It is entirely my mother's fault that I became a historian. She read historical novels non-stop (Dorothy Dunnett's Lymond and Niccolo novels especially) and had the portraits of the six wives of Henry VIII above her bath (but not Henry VIII). Anne Boleyn was a clear favourite, but I always preferred Katherine Parr (ah, the admiral!)
Niki: Your latest article contribution to the RSNJ is fascinating. Is this a subject you've been studying for years?
Philippa: Thank you. The article is a bit of an aside to my PhD which I finished in 2006 and, to my shame have still to publish. I ended up studying French Milan thanks to my supervisor, Evelyn Welch, who advised me to work in very quiet archives – Milan, Mantua, Cremona etc – rather than Florence. When I started researching the de Foix family's role in Milan, I realised that studying the governors would also give me an excuse to do research in Pau and Tarbes….
Each time I go to a new archive I always make a quick sweep of terms relating to French Milan before starting my other research. There's a lot of unpublished material out there, even though Italian and French scholars have really revived interest in this period in the last twenty years.
Niki: What went into the research for this article?
Philippa: A long process and lots of travel! This article's origins are in the Kings and Queens 3 conference in Winchester in July 2014. I remembered a contemporary Venetian observer remarking that Lautrec always maintained and fed a certain number of liveried servants and followers, so my contribution developed from that. Whilst teaching for Warwick in Venice I had the absolute luxury of being able to spend some time in the archivio di stato, where some references survive to the gifts given to Lautrec and his cronies by the Republic. I then gave the adapted paper at a researchconvegno, and was given some leads for future work from Italian scholars. Finally, when I submitted the article to the RSJ I got some really useful feedback about new research and publications that I had missed. This iterative editorial process is so important to ensure that work is representative of the state of scholarship, as well as including original archival research.
Niki: Was there anything that surprised you when conducting your research?
Philippa: I'm afraid that I get carried away in the archives and go off on tangents. I knew from Sanudo that Lautrec and Gritti had a difficult relationship, so I looked through the draft despatches of the Senate for 1515-20. I came across some lovely nuggets about provisions being made for Andrea Gritti to travel by litter on campaign, rather than horseback, owing to his age. This meets the idea of Venetian gerontocracy, but somehow goes against the idea of Gritti 'man of action'. I was also interested to see how many references were made to the scars on Lautrec's face which seemed to have affected his sinuses and made it necessary for him to frequently hawk up phlegm. He even adopted the panther as his emblem for it too had a 'savage visage'.
Niki: Thanks again for letting us interview you! One last question: what are you working on next?
Philippa: Lots of things. I get distracted easily! I am working with my friend and former colleague, Matthias Range, to publish our post-doctoral work on Reformation rural religion, exploring the daily religious experience in isolated Catholic and Lutheran parishes. However, my main project (going slowly at present) concerns the experience of French mariners in the Venetian Stato da Mar. I have lots of juicy French complaints about the Venetians seizing French goods on rather flimsy pretexts. I aim to match this with Venetian enquiries into 'misconduct' and pre-consular diplomatic activity. I've looked at this in Paris, but I need to get down to Marseille. And one day, I will publish my PhD in some form or another….

PURPLE STUFF PODCAST: PIZZA PARTY!!!
The Purple Stuff Podcast Goes to the Flea Market for Summer Saturdays!!
Summer Saturdays on The Purple Stuff Podcast is going strong. Matt and I have been making the best of the scorching hot days on the pod. In the background all I can think about is how the Halloween season is almost here. Knowing that my favorite season is creeping up on us is fueling me although first, we've got to make it through these hot summer days. We do just that on the new episode of the podcast. This episode finds us at the local Flea Market.
Englishtown Flea Market is basically the Mos Eisley of New Jersey sans the spaceport aspect. Sum and Villainy you know what I'm saying. Of course I'm kidding, everyone who sells there is usually very nice, or as nice as someone can be when standing outside in the dirt in 97 degree heat selling 3 old picture frames and a plugged tire from a 1990 Toyota Corolla. Matt and I have been frequenting this place for a while and we decided that we'd pay them a visit as part of our Summer Saturdays series of shows. Flea Markets can take place all year round obviously, but here in the trip-state area, the outdoor jams are pretty much exclusive to the summer months. No one wants to be shopping for bootleg power rangers in -12 degrees wearing snow boots. It's probably just as abysmal as it is in the heat and humidity though!
We made it through and each grabbed a few things that we discuss on the show. At this point, anything we wind up doing turns into a freaking debacle and this one was a fun one. Maybe while I was there sweating my ass off covered in dirt it didn't seem like that much of a blast, but listen in and you'll get a feel for an authentic, outdoor Jersey flea market. There's an array of junk we came home with, we whip out loot bags, tape cleaners, we open up some trading cards, and even do a taste test, not of the cards obviously.
Take a listen wherever you enjoy your podcasts! We appreciate any positive reviews you feel like leaving and as always, spread the word! If you know someone who is like us, tell them about the podcast, they may dig it. Thank you for being on board, it's way more fun this way. We also have a Patreon where you can get monthly bonus shows if you want MORE! Keep cool, we will be back next week!
The Purple Stuff Podcast's Summer Q&A!
Summer Saturday's on the Purple Stuff Podcast continues! All month long me and Matt are bringing you new episodes you can listen to as you try to beat the heat. We're happy to have you along for the ride! In this week's episode we answer all kinds of summery questions that were sent in by the listeners. We take a total cruise line down memory lane. Slip and Slides, Summer TV lineups, and toys all get discussed. We basically got sent to SUMMER SCHOOL so listen to find out if we passed! We hope you dig it!
If you'd like to support our show, you can visit us at Patreon.com/PurpleStuff where we do an exclusive monthly bonus show for our "Patronies!"
The hot, blazing summer has come for all of us. Just think, if we make it out alive we are one step closer to the Halloween season! At least that's my incentive to persevere through these hellish, humid days. Even though it's my least favorite season, I admit that theres so much to enjoy about it. If you can deal with swamp ass and drenching back sweat then you'll have no problem appreciating the finer things that the summer has to offer. To encapsulate it all into one tiny nostalgic trip, The Purple Stuff Podcast is very excited to bring to you SUMMER SATURDAYS! We look at this as a way for you to savor the summer while sipping Shasta cans in the yard.
What is Summer Saturdays you ask? Essentially, me and Matt will be bringing you a new podcast every Saturday throughout July focusing on some of the highlights of summer for us. We'll be presenting a variety of different themes during this extravaganza, but first, to kick things off, we have a music show for you compiling our summer playlists. You know us by now, we intentionally try to avoid the typical fare in favor of spotlighting the slightly more obscure stuff.
Whacked out is the best way to describe the variety on this episode. From songs heard in horror films to more songs heard in horror films to a member of the Mickey Mouse Club, to The Lost Boys on the beach, to fun with Phoebe Cates it's just bananas. Check this one out if you're chilling by your pool, doing yard work, *PAINTING THE FENCE, or just living that sloth life on your couch in the air conditioning. It's a fun way to kick off your summer and we've got a lot more in store for you this month so stay tuned!
Thank you for listening to the show! If you would like to support The Purple Stuff Podcast we greatly appreciate your help! You can spread the word to friends IRL, leave us a positive review on iTunes, share us on social media, or join in the fun on our Patreon where we present a monthly bonus show exclusively for our "Patronies." Thanks again and we hope your summer kicks ass.
*Can you name what movie this references? That's another hint to a movie that gets brought up in this episode thanks to the awesome summer song!
Purple Stuff Podcast: WITCHES!!!
Monsters and ghosts get talked about the most. Many would say that demons and ghouls are just as cool. What about the witches? Whether you prefer the historical lore of the witch trials or the more macabre evil queens of magic, witches have provided us with so much spooky entertainment. For people like us, witches are also a huge aspect of our favorite season of the year. Halloween and witches are basically synonymous, but almost to the point where we're desensitized to them. In the new episode of the Purple Stuff Podcast, we're commending our favorite witches from pop culture despite how despicable their acts may be…or their faces!
Consider the massive amount of notorious witches, we literally had to conjure up a spell to settle on 5 selections each. Think about it for a sec an you'll be able to name at least 10 cool witches that you have an affinity for. In this show Matt and I chose witches we adore from movies (made for cable and theatrical), and commercials. Even though we had to leave so many on the table, we're confident that you will enjoy hearing about the likes of Charal and a certain green ruler of Winkie Country. We also delve into the enchanting ways of the hideously horny Sarah Sanderson and the snoring sorcerer herself, Helena Markos!
This weekend, invite your coven, kindle up your cauldron, and hole up in your crib for a listen to this new episode! You can listen here or subscribe on your favorite podcast app. If you are interested in supporting our show you can leave us a positive 5 star review on iTunes OR head over to our Patreon page where we present an exclusive monthly bonus show! As always, thank you so much for listening and reading!
Purple Stuff Podcast: TV Themes Part 2!
In many ways, I've spent my life prepping for the crap that Dino Drac and I discuss on the Purple Stuff Podcast. Who knew that all those hours as a couch potato on those summer days that were too sweltering to even swim under the sun would actually prove to be useful someday. Well, useful is a stretch, but all those memories certainly fuels our Mr. Fusion of inconsequential nostalgia. For a little trip back in time to when TV sitcoms ruled our world and they were only available through that giant box in your living room, dial up our first TV Theme Songs show from May 2016!
If you don't need the refresher, well, as Freddy said, WELCOME TO PRIME TIME BITCH! We've got 10 TV Themes to discuss and dissect. We don't only talk about the music, we also get into the details of the actual intros themselves in some cases. No matter what, these are some oddball choices as always. You'll hear everything from Harry and The Hendersons to Jem! Things are about to get weird so take a listen on your favorite podcast app. Thank you for listening and feel free to add your favorite TV Themes in the comments!
If you dig the show and would like to support the show you can share the show on social media, or recommend The Purple Stuff Podcast to one of your friend IRL! So many people I know are through with social media altogether that you may want to have an actual convo with them and say "Hey, this is a show I enjoy listening to and you may like it as well!" If you aren't into that option, we would love it if you could give us a 5 star rating on iTunes. And last but not least, you can support us on Patreon for an exclusive monthly bonus show! www.Patreon.com/PurpleStuff Thanks again for listening and reading!
Purple Stuff Podcast: RED EDITION!!
Red is one of those colors that could mean danger or make you think of a sleek '80s sports car. Maybe your protection grid has been turned off by a dick from the EPA, or you've got a thing for little Red Corvettes? Either way, we've decided to compile a bunch of things that come to our minds when we think of RED and talk about them on the latest episode Purple Stuff Podcast!
As a sequel to our Green Show which can be found here, we now present to you a bunch of Red stuff. Whatever pops into your head when you think of the color red is likely not the crap we discuss in this episode, but that's all the more reason to listen! In this episode we'll go from Thundercat villains to seafood restaurants to makeout gum. It's quite a trip. You'll be seeing red by the end of it all.
Thanks for listening to the show and reading The Sexy Armpit!

Purple Stuff Podcast: OLD, NEW STUFF!
Purple Stuff Podcast: Christmas Traditions!
Ready or not, the holidays are here. To say that I am ill-prepared is an understatement. In the plus column though, a new episode of The Purple Stuff Podcast is on deck and all set to be fired up. Whether you are baking cookies, cleaning the house, or getting some last minute shopping done, whatever you find yourself doing you can make this episode your accompaniment since it's Christmas cheer for your ears.
In this episode, me and Matt explore various Christmas customs that we've taken part in through the years. We talk about foods we look forward to each year, stuff we watch, and in my case, a special recurring piece of clothing. Nothing beats reminiscing during the holidays over a cup of egg nog (It's good, it's good.) At first, I didn't realize that I had so many little traditions until I really sat and thought about it. It turns out that I have quite a few and at least 3 or 4 didn't even make the cut! Do you have any Christmas traditions that you find yourself doing every Christmas season?
If you are here reading this, I want to take this opportunity to thank you for reading, listening, and watching my various endeavors. It means a lot to me that you take the time and show your interest here. My blog began to become a ghost town the past couple of years but as indicated in the pretty recent past, I am easing back into things. Who knows what 2019 will bring in terms of unexpected events, but either way I am still keeping this trash heap alive mark my words!
Chances are this may be the last post of the year (If I have time, I might post something quick) so I hope you enjoy the holidays and get to spend them with your loved ones. As much as I prefer my solo solitude, being with my friends and family during Christmas time is what it's all about. There's literally no other thing I'd rather do during this season than just hang out with the important VIP people in my life. I'm very grateful and appreciative of all of you! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Now go listen to that new episode ya' filthy animals!

About Dawn | MTEI Genesis | Economic Development| Privacy R&D | Cloud Platforms | Government and Innovation | Benchmarking and QoS | Fast Data Access | Protocol Interoperability | Awards and Funding | Affiliations |
Dawn has an extensive background in technology innovation and development. She is T-shaped with a depth of experience in both business and technology. Her range of expertise crosses the boundaries of information technology, business models, strategy, marketing and sales, knowledge management, benchmarking for performance management, and economic development.
An award-winning, multi-disciplinary researcher and full professor in Technology Entrepreneurship and Innovation at the Sobey School of Business, Saint Mary's University, Dawn received her undergraduate degree from the University of the West Indies, and both her Masters and PhD degrees in Computer Science from the Technical University of Nova Scotia. Her 1996 PhD work on multi-view access control has been cited in Xerox, IBM, and Koninklijke Philips Electronics' US patents.
In an university administrative capacity, she has served as Acting Chair in the Department of Finance, Information Systems, and Management Science for a year in 2005-2006, and as Chair during 2008-2009. In early 2011, she was shortlisted after an intensive face-to-face interview for the position of Dean of the School of Management at the New Jersey Institute of Technology from a field of over 40 applicants. After NJIT selected a more qualified former Dean of the NSF to its management leadership from its shortlist, in November 2011, Dawn proposed and primarily authored the proposal for the Master of Technology Entrepreneurship and Innovation program with participation from the Halifax community, thereby founding the first program of its kind in Atlantic Canada, and the first to be hosted out of an AACSB-accredited Business School in Canada, and possibly the US.
Dawn created the MTEI's program's vision, learning objectives, program goals, and options, firmly situating them in a context of economic development. Her work on the proposal for the MTEI program has provided a foundation for others in the Sobey School to build on. She served as the MTEI's Founding Director from January 1, 2013 to June 30, 2013 and successfully launched the innovative program in record time- within 3 weeks of its MPHEC approval on December 6, 2012. In July 2014, she was elected by the university to oversee the MTEI program's direct administration once more. In between, she co-chaired the OASIS Privacy by Design Documentation for Software Engineers, and helped drive and shape the international standards-track committee specification draft and notes deliverables produced by its highly qualified Technical Committee members in June 2014.
Dawn joined the Sobey School of Business as a part-time instructor in 1992, and took a full-time appointment in September 1997. She has great breadth in the instruction of information technology having taught 24 different information technology courses at every program level in the Sobey School of Business, and at the graduate level in Computer Science, Electronic Commerce, and ICT degree programs at several other universities. Throughout her 20-year career as a university professor, she has taught content that ranged from the technology-centric to business-centric. Dawn has been renewed every 6 years as adjunct professor to the Faculty of Computer Science at Dalhousie University since 1998. She is also adjunct to the Faculty of Graduate Studies at Dalhousie University.
Dawn is also active in business-technology consulting, particularly in the development of business, information technology and big data strategies for organizations. She provides professional services on projects for local, national, and international software organizations, standards organizations, and privacy organizations. Dawn regularly presents to expert audiences in e-business, privacy, big data, and computer science areas such as cloud computing. Most importantly she spreads her extensive knowledge from industry practice as well as from research in the classroom.
Results-oriented and forward-thinking, Dawn demonstrates a superior track record in the training of highly qualified personnel and is in high demand as a research supervisor. She fully supervises students and actively contributes to the Masters of Business Administration, Executive MBA, Master of Applied Science, International Development Studies, and PhD (Management) programs at Saint Mary's University and to the Master of Computer Science and Master of Electronic Commerce programs at Dalhousie University. Dawn and a former student are co-authors of a book entitled: e-Business Readiness: A Customer-Focused Framework which forms part of the Addison Wesley Information Technology Series. Several of her former students are company founders, hold C-level positions in small entrepreneurial companies, or are in technical positions at large organizations. Many students have published technical work under her direction.
Dawn enjoys collaborating with other international researchers and students who are also enthusiastic about IT. Many of her collaborators are in the fields of Mathematics, Computer Science, and/or Business. She thinks that it is important to expose her students to global and timely research problems. Dawn has supervised over 50 graduate students and served for 5 years across 2 terms on Saint Mary's University Board of Governors.

Cornell told the annual meeting of investors that the company intend to stick with the April 19 transgender policy — which requires its customers to use mixed-sex changing rooms and bathrooms — and he even insisted there has been no financial repercussions, despite a $10 billion Wall Street loss in the months since the policy was announced.
The CEO declined to answer questions over the pro-transgender policy posed by other investors.
Cornell was also asked if the company had conducted a cost-benefit analysis of the pro-transgender policy before issuing it. The CEO didn't answer this question either.

text: Witnesses say Israel used its Apache helicopters in the attacks There were no immediate reports of casualties or comment from the Israeli army. Earlier on Friday, six Palestinians, believed to be members of the resistance movement Hamas, were killed by Israel in what is seen as a resumption of Israel's policy of "targeted killings". According to witnesses, Israeli helicopter gunships fired missiles at a vehicle in Gaza, destroying it and scattering body parts of the occupants. Witnesses said Israeli Apache helicopter gunships had fired three missiles at the car in Gaza.Aljazeera's Gaza correspondent quoted medical sources at al-Shifa hospital in the Gaza Strip as saying that four Palestinians had been killed by the Israeli helicopter strike. Five were confirmed dead; five civilians, including a child, were also wounded in the attack, medical sources told Aljazeera.There was no immediate comment from the Israeli occupation army. An AFP correspondent in Gaza also saw a headless corpse and the gutted car following the attack. West Bank attack In another Israeli attack on Friday, Aljazeera's correspondent in Ram Allah, Shirin Abu Aqla, reported that two Palestinians, Muhammad Aiyash and Muhammad Mirai, were killed and one seriously injured in an Israeli helicopter missile strike in the West Bank town of Salfit, near Nablus. Doctors confirmed that fourpeople were killed in GazaThere was no immediate comment from the Israeli army regarding this attack, either. The missile strikes were part of a heavy Israeli offensive against Palestinian resistance groups. As part of the peace deal, reached in February, Israel had promised Palestinians to halt targeted killings, but has now reaffirmed the resumption of its assassination policy against Palestinian resistance groups. Attacks condemned Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas has been in Gaza since Thursday for crisis talks with the resistance groups in a bid to rescue the flagging truce.The Palestinian Authority condemned the Israeli attacks as a "dangerous escalation" and said Israel is trying to destroy its own efforts to impose the rule of law in the occupied territories. "We strongly condemn the dangerous Israeli escalation. At the same time that the Palestinian Authority is trying to impose the law, Israel wants to destroy all such efforts" Saeb Erikat,chief Palestinian negotiator"We strongly condemn the dangerous Israeli escalation. At the same time that the Palestinian Authority is trying to impose the law, Israel wants to destroy all such efforts," chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erikat said. Hamas's military wing, the Izzaddin al-Qassam Brigades, said the four, who were assassinated in Gaza, were Hassem Abu Ras, Adel Hanyiah, Saber Abu Assi and Amjad Arafat.Israeli threats Israel has threatened to re-occupy Palestinian cities, if necessary, to ensure the safety of Jewish settlers during the "disengagement plan" from the Gaza Strip and four settlements in the northern West Bank. Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon announced in a television interview late on Friday that he had ordered the army to take "all necessary measures" against what he said were Palestinian "terrorist organisations". "I have ordered the army to take all necessary measures," Sharon said. Asked whether this meant the resumption of targeted killings against Palestinian resistance movements, Sharon said there was "no limit" on the orders handed down to the army.The latest deaths raised the overall toll since the September 2000 start of the second Palestinian Intifada (Uprising) to 4793, including 3720 Palestinians and 998 Israelis, according to an AFP count.

DNS Measurements at a Root Server
The Domain Name System (DNS) manages domain names to be used in network transactions (email, web requests, etc.) instead of IP addresses. The root of the DNS distributed database is managed by 13 root nameservers. We passively measure the performance of one of them: F.root-servers.net.
These measurements show an astounding number of bogus queries: from 60-85% of observed queries were repeated from the same host within the measurement interval. Over 14% of a root server's query load is due to queries that violate the DNS specification. Denial of service attacks using root servers are common and occurred throughout our measurement period (7-24 Jan 2001). Though not targeted at the root servers, DOS attacks often use root servers as reflectors toward a victim network. We contrast our observations with those found in an earlier study of DNS rootserver performance by Danzig et al.

December 1, 1968 — Cincinnati Bengals came to play against the then Boston Patriots. In front of a crowd of 17,796 Patriots fans, they came out victorious in a 33-14 win. A bright spot in their 4-10 season. QB Tom Sherman threw for just 142 yards, but had 3 TD passes. Jim Nance ran for 81 yards on 22 carries, had a rushing touchdown. And the Great Gino Cappelletti caught 2 passes for 26 yards, one of those scoring a touchdown…. and kicked a 27 yard field goal, nailing all 4 PAT's.
This was the final game the Boston Patriots played at Fenway park, practically 50 years ago. The following season they moved to Alumni Stadium on the campus of Boston College. Two years the NFL was officially born and the New England Patriots and Foxborough were synonymous with football in our region.
A new trend has been coming to ballparks in recent years. Outside of concerts, MLB stadiums in recent years have been expanding the use of the stadiums to showcase other sports like hockey, soccer, lacrosse, and football. I was elated when word came in 2015 that there would be a college football game played at Fenway Park. Notre Dame edged out Boston College in a 19-16 win. The beautiful imagery of it all, had to take it all in and will the game to go not by as fast as it did.
Can this happen, even for just 1 game?
It would seem to benefit the Red Sox ownership more. Kraft would lose a home game in a sense, and Patriots Place would be left standing idly by as it's desired patrons are all an hour up North. No brainer that it would be a sold out event. Hottest ticket in Town. But there would be 31,475 fewer seats when watching inside Boston's hallowed Cathedral.
Now it doesn't have to be a highlight game of the week matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers or rematch with the Seahawks. Maybe Kraft would consider conversing if say the ever rebuilding Browns were on the Patriots schedule for the following season.
With the downsides that come to mind, instantly shrug them off. It is a thing of Bucket List items to ponder the possibility of it happening. The Red Sox WILL one day move on and play ball in a new stadium. Before that happens, I'd like to check off watching the Pats finish off a game winning drive in front of the Green Monster.
