Q: UIView loses background when animated up I am working on an iOS app and am having trouble with a really tall UIView (2400px tall).  The UIView contains a really long form that's been broken down into 5 parts.  As the user completes one part of the form, I would like to slide the UIView up to reveal the next part.  I present the UIView modally.
The problem that I am having is that when I slide up the UIView, the background slides up along with the objects in the first section and the next section is left with a clear background.  The code I use to slide the UIView is:
- (IBAction)slideUp {
    // Slide the view up the screen to reveal the next section
    CGRect frame = self.view.frame;
    [UIView beginAnimations:nil context:NULL];
    [UIView setAnimationDuration:1.75];
    frame.origin.y = -480;
    self.view.frame = frame;
    [UIView commitAnimations];
}

All of the objects in the really tall UIView slide up fine, I'm just losing my background color.  Any idea why?
Thanks!

A: Is your background being rendered by some sort of "background view" that's sized to fit the screen?
In any case, you should probably use a UIScrollView with scrolling disabled instead of a really long UIView. You can then simply animate the contentOffset property to scroll the controls up, but the scrollview itself can simply be screen-sized.

A: Instead of using self.view.frame, i would highly recommend you create an IBOutlet for the really long view so that the code looks like self.longView.frame.
This will help making it clear which views you are working with.
Right now i am betting that you are animating the wrong view.

Health Care System to Pay Largest Data Breach Settlement Ever
Advocate Health Care cost for potential HIPAA violations is nearly $6 million
aliah.wright@shrm.org
By Aliah D. Wright August 9, 2016
Advocate Health Care Network has agreed to a $5.5 million settlement with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) for multiple potential violations of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) involving electronic protected health information (ePHI), according to a press release from HHS announcing the settlement.
News reports are calling the settlement one of the largest to date for a single entity. The data of 4 million patients were exposed as a result of three separate incidents in 2013.
The stolen data included "demographic information, clinical information, health insurance information, patient names, addresses, credit card numbers and their expiration dates, and dates of birth," the press release stated. There have been no reports that individuals' identities have been stolen or that information has been misused.
By failing to safeguard patient data, Advocate violated federal patient privacy law, HHS determined after an investigation.
"We hope this settlement sends a strong message to covered entities that they must engage in a comprehensive risk analysis and risk management to ensure that individuals' ePHI is secure," said Jocelyn Samuels, director of the HHS Office for Civil Rights, in a news release.
"This includes implementing physical, technical and administrative security measures sufficient to reduce the risks to ePHI in all physical locations and on all portable devices to a reasonable and appropriate level."
Illinois-based Advocate Health Care Network operates a dozen hospitals and more than 200 additional treatment facilities.
According to news reports, the first breach occurred on July 15, 2013, when thieves stole four desktop computers. Those computers contained the records of nearly 4 million patients from an office belonging to the network's subsidiary, Advocate Medical Group (AMG) in Park Ridge, Ill.
In the second breach, which occurred between June 30 and Aug. 15, 2013, hackers accessed the network of an organization that supplies billing services to AMG. That may have compromised the health records of more than 2,000 AMG patients, according to the release.
Lastly, according to the agreement, on Nov. 1, 2013, an unencrypted laptop which contained the patient records of more than 2,230 people was stolen from a vehicle that belonged to an AMG employee.
While Advocate has admitted no wrongdoing, the HHS Office for Civil Rights stated in the press release that Advocate failed to:
Conduct an accurate and thorough assessment of the potential risks and vulnerabilities to all of its ePHI.
Implement policies and procedures, as well as facility access controls, to limit physical access to the electronic information systems housed within a large data support center.
Obtain satisfactory assurances in the form of a written business associate contract that its business associate would appropriately safeguard all ePHI in its possession.
Reasonably safeguard an unencrypted laptop when left in an unlocked vehicle overnight.
In a statement, Advocate called protecting its patients' confidentiality and privacy an important priority and said it would fully cooperate with the government to enhance its data security.
"As all industries deal with the ever-evolving digital landscape and the impact it has on security, we've enhanced our data encryption measures to prevent this type of incident from reoccurring," the health system stated.
"While there continues to be no indication that the information was misused, we deeply regret any inconvenience this incident has caused our patients."

Wanted it to look like it had been chewed up or clawed at. Like it had really been through the ringer. Blood droplets as a final touch came a little later as a way to add a splash of color.
Might be a bit dramatic for a scale reference, but I thought the silver ring was a nice touch.
Made 100 of these lovelies and bought some stickers of the same design to go out with orders while supplies last. If people like these, maybe the next batch will be a different damaged design. What sort of wear and tear could the next one show? Comment below!
A bit ago on Twitter (twitter.com/ToadKingStudios) I did a Smash character select screen of followers, and I went overboard and made my own P1 hand because I like working on projects that have no value.
BUT HEY! If anyone wants to use the hand for their own player select screen or whatever, feel free to use this! Proper credit would be appreciated since I made this from scratch in Photoshop. Either link to this here or to me on Twitter! Thanks and enjoy!

Well hello there, it's been a long.. while..
I'm not as active on here as I once was (surprise surprise) partly due to doing more non-drawing related creative work. Also in part to just being busier with life and trying to find a better balance. I do still get on here to check on things and upload the occasional art piece. Recently been rather depressed, hit a sort of wall, been struggling with a lot of small things adding up in my life. Working on finding a better balance, something that will allow me to not be stressed about my side projects and to get more artwork done on a regular basis. Currently taking some time to recover and center myself again. Hoping to do a lot of things in 2017, and being in a funk is not one of them.
Follow one of them, follow all of them, either way I appreciate your interest in my art and what I create to put up online.
More episodes will be coming out for my podcast, Foundation After Midnight Radio. I've upgraded my computer and the new build is pretty great. Planning on getting more videos edited for freelance and for my own Youtube channel. I've been kicking around doing some short Overwatch animations too, so hopefully those will see the light of day sooner than later.
Anyways, that's all for now. Thanks again for all your support over the years!

Pack of x5 replacement coils for the Kanger Subtank.
The SSOCC coils are backward compatible and will work in any tank that currently takes the OCC Coils.
Please Note: The 0.5 Ohm SSOCC coils are the updated stainless steel coils and feature 2 wicking holes instead of 4. They have the same compatibility as other SSOCC coils.


Originally the New Theatre Royal, the building dates back to 1878. Much of the theatre interior was lost or hidden in the late 1980s when the building was used for other purposes. Wetherspoons purchased the building in 1999 and removed much of the interior partitioning to reveal parts of the theatre that had been long hidden.
The Knight's Templar is a JD Wetherspoons that was once the Union Bank. Located to the rear of the Royal Courts of Justice, it features a large main bar with very high ceilings that you would expect in a bank. To the side is an upper level that offers lots of seating in different rooms.
The Crosse Keys is a JD Wetherspoon pub located near Leadenhall Market in the City of London. The building was originally the headquarters of the Hong King and Shanghai Bank (HSBC) and dates from 1919. It is named after an old coaching inn that used to be located nearby. It was converted into a Wetherspoon pub in 1999. The pub features an impressive selection of ales for a Wetherspoon pub (up to 24 handpumps). You can view more photos and read a review on Travels with Beer.

Whenever I scroll through Facebook or microblogging site Weibo, I will always look with envy at the lovely photos of my friends' travelling escapades, their new branded products, and delicious food that they enjoy. Based on these photos, I have to conclude that their lives must be going swimmingly. And I can't help but wonder: Why is my life so boring compared with theirs?
Why does it seem that none of us are ever happy? The Bible notes that man will never be satisfied nor content with what we have; we will always pine for something better. "Death and Destruction are never satisfied, and neither are human eyes," says Proverbs 27:20. King Solomon, the wealthy and author of Ecclesiastes, had everything, yet understood this dissatisfaction. He said, "Yet when I surveyed all that my hands had done and what I had toiled to achieve, everything was meaningless, a chasing after the wind; nothing was gained under the sun" (Ecclesiastes 2:11).
Why is this so? Perhaps it's because our possessions cannot truly fill the emptiness in our hearts. Although we constantly seek to fill that void with different things—be it wealth, love, fame, or other people's admiration—we will never find true contentment in them.
It is not necessarily wrong to desire achievements, success, and affirmation. However, it is more important to realize that these cannot be a measure of our worth. They do not have real substance, because they will not last.
Our fulfilment, worth, and meaning of life must come from God. Only our Creator God can fill the void in us, His created beings, because only He knows what we truly need.
I thank God for reminding me about the things I ought to be paying attention to—the needs of people around me, obeying His will, and living a life that pleases Him. I pray that our lives will no longer revolve around how frequently we travel, how much we spend on branded goods, or how much our food costs. Rather, may our focus be on God.
May we all find and share the true joy that comes from being in God's presence. And may we become followers of Christ who seek to please God.


On October 15 2012, David Hutton, FAIR's representative on the Federal Public Sector Integrity Commissioner (PSIC) advisory committee, was removed from his position by the Commission's head, Mario Dion.
After criticizing the Canadian Forces and the Department of National Defence for failing to respond adequately to his investigations and to complaints from families of Forces members, Yves Côté left his position in December 2007, half-way through his five-year term.
After blowing the whistle on alleged excessive costs for Canadian diplomats and staff in the Department of Foreign Affairs during the early 1990s, Joanna Gualtieri claimed that she was harassed, ostracized by her bosses and given a dead-end job.

On March 25, 2008, Mr. Kevin Page was appointed Canada's first Parliamentary Budget Officer (PBO), a position created under the Conservative government's Federal Accountability Act of 2006. Upon his appointment, Mr. Page discovered numerous discrepancies in the government's spending estimates. He reported on them and found himself in the public spotlight as a result. The Harper government undermined Kevin Page's work to hold the government accountable, cut the PBO's funding, tried to limit Page's mandate as well as his reporting to Parliament and the Canadian public, and failed to cooperate with his investigations.
Dr. Arthur Carty advocated open sharing of information across borders and institutions. His role as National Science Advisor was undermined by the federal government, which cut off his communication with the Prime Minister, failed to ask him for his professional advice, and excluded him from science strategy discussions.


Maximizing space in your kitchen is one of the most important chores we face, but it's also one of the more difficult! Let's face it, we have way to much stuff! Of course, we need all of it! So, we need to find ways to store all of it. There are several ways to estimate your storage needs when designing your new or remodeled kitchen. With a little bit of creativity, you can follow an easy set of guidelines to add some necessary space to your kitchen!
1. Estimate your needs. There are several ways to estimate your storage needs, first remove everything from your cabinets, combine items appropriately into groups that would go in individual cabinets. What could you reorganize to use space more efficiently? What could you move to a less accessible space, because you use it less frequently? The best approach to cabinet planning might be to work with a kitchen designer, your contractor or your cabinet maker to place appliances and cabinets where they will make things readily available where you need them to be when entertaining, cooking or cleaning up. If you're trying to work with the cabinets you already have, then evaluate how you can maximize your cabinet space with various cabinet organizers. Once you have estimated your needs, it becomes much easier to plan the style and design you most want while also ensuring that you will have the type and amount of storage space you need. A little imagination and some creative planning will result in the kitchen of your dreams.
2. Use your Doors. The inside doors of kitchen cabinets are largely forsaken many times. Whether you shop online or prefer department stores, many places sell racks that can either be mounted on the kitchen cabinet door or discreetly hang over the top.
These racks can hold everything from spices to travel size condiment packages without putting an unnecessary strain on the door. A further consideration is to add some self-adhesive hooks to the inside of the cabinet to allow for the easy hanging of dishtowels and pot holders. Either of these space saving solutions will free up space in other cabinet areas.
3. Extra shelves. To help maximize space add some shelves yourself. Consider planning out a specific use for each individual shelf and adjust the height accordingly. If you have room for an additional shelf after your plans, then get a board cut and install it (or have your hubby do it). Have a shelf for canned goods at one height, then a shelf for boxed non-perishables like potato flakes or biscuit mix, and then a shelf for some of the taller boxes like cereal. Not only can the new shelves add space, but they will assist in product organization as well.
4. Use vertical space. Most kitchen cabinets have a great deal of space between the top of the cabinets and the ceiling. So,utilize this space! Many people will usually use the edge for storage of cute knick knacks or dinner plates, but it can also be used to a more practical end as a bookcase or as storage for extra food and cooking supplies. Using vertical space is also easier on the eyes, it removes the illusion of clutter. For example, why have a roll of paper towel sitting on a busy counter when you can hang one or more paper towel holders?
5. Create hiding spots. Trash and recycling fill up quickly in kitchens, so rather than purchasing freestanding bins, dedicate or convert a cabinet into dual purpose trash and recycling center. Or, use the drawer next to the stove as a spice drawer, especially one with drawer organizers.
Also, dead space to the side of the refrigerator can be reclaimed by creating a pull-out cabinet, with shelves designed to hold canned goods or cleaning supplies. Spices, teas and other small items are easier to reach when stored in small tin canisters hung on a magnetic strip installed on a wall, the side of a cabinet, inside a cabinet door or the side of the refrigerator.
Even a large kitchen needs ideas for unique kitchen storage and small kitchen owners can benefit by maximizing storage space for convenience and organization. Strategic or organizational changes will make any kitchen feel and operate more like your dream kitchen. Most importantly, you spend a lot of time in the kitchen, so make it enjoyable!

Unlawful Distance When Passing Bicyclist Involves Being Too Close Contrary to Section 148(6.1) of the Highway Traffic Act
Print Version (PDF) Home / Traffic Tickets / Minor Charges / Closely Passing Bicycle
How Much Is the Fine For Passing Too Closely to a Person on a Bicycle?
Driving Within One (1) Metre of a Person Riding a Bicycle Is An Offence Contrary to Section 148(6.1),(6.2) of the Highway Traffic Act. Upon Conviction For Driving Too Close to a Person Riding a Bicycle a Fine of Up to $1,000 Plus Victim Surcharge and Court Cost Applies. The Driver Also Receives Two (2) Demerit Points and Possibly An Increase of Insurance Rates.
Walia Traffic Legal Services says

A Helpful Guide For How to Determine the Potential Fine and Defence Strategies For a Passing Too Closely to a Bicyclist
A bicyclist is a highly vulnerable person when using the road with other vehicles of varying types and sizes and is particularly at risk when another vehicle is approaching from behind. Accordingly, when approaching and passing a bicyclist, drivers are required to use extra-special caution and provide a safe distance between the vehicle and the bicyclist.
What Is the Law About Sharing the Road With a Bicyclist
As per section 148(6.1),(6.2) of the Highway Traffic Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8, a driver must provide a minimum of one (1) metre of space between the vehicle being driven and a person riding upon a bicycle and failing to do so is an offence. The applicable penalty upon conviction for a violation is found at section 214(1) of the Highway Traffic Act as section 148(6.1),(6.2) is silent about, meaning lacking or omitting, the penalty details. Specifically, section 148(6.1),(6.2) and section 214(1) of the Highway Traffic Act state:
Highway Traffic Act,R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8 at section 148(6.1),(6.2)
(6.1) Every person in charge of a motor vehicle on a highway who is overtaking a person travelling on a bicycle shall, as nearly as may be practicable, leave a distance of not less than one metre between the bicycle and the motor vehicle and shall maintain that distance until safely past the bicycle.
(6.2) The one metre distance required by subsection (6.1) refers to the distance between the extreme right side of the motor vehicle and the extreme left side of the bicycle, including all projections and attachments.
Highway Traffic Act,R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8 at section 214(1)
General penalty
214 (1) Every person who contravenes this Act or any regulation is guilty of an offence and on conviction, where a penalty for the contravention is not otherwise provided for herein, is liable to a fine of not less than $60 and not more than $1,000.
Accordingly, as is shown above, the fine for passing too closely to a person on a bicycle is in a range from sixty ($60) dollars to one thousand ($1,000) dollars. Additional penalties will include the statutory victim surcharge plus court cost. Furthermore, upon conviction a driver also receives two (2) demerit points and may also be affected by consequences to insurance rates.
As shown above, the Highway Traffic Act imposes a fine ranging from sixty ($60) dollars to one thousand ($1,000) dollars for driving too close to a person riding a bicycle. Furthermore, a statutory victim surcharge plus court cost will also apply in addition to the driver receiving two (2) demerit points and potentially incurring an insurance rate increase.
Defence Strategy
A passing too closely to bicyclist charge can be defending by knowing the right questions to ask during witness examination and which are the wrong questions to ask.
As the prosecution bears the burden of proof, including proving beyond a reasonable doubt that a motorist passed within one (1) metre of a bicyclist, strategically challenging the evidence, including witness testimony, on the factual issue of how close a vehicle was to a bicyclist may lead to a successful defence of the charge of passing too closely. Of course, if the charge relates to an accident, where it is plain and obvious that the bicyclist was struck, and therefore the distance between was nill, a very different strategy will be required.
When defending a passing to closely to a bicyclist charge, during the examination process within the court trial, meaning during questioning of the witness, or witnesses, for the prosecution, various strategically planned questions may help to weaken the strength of the witness testimony. Weakening the strength of testimony may involving asking witnesses:
To state how far away the witness was when the alleged observations were made;
To state whether the witness was paying more attention to the vehicle or to the bicyclist;
To state whether the bicyclist made a turn or change of direction; and
To state whether it is possible that the bicyclist wobbled or otherwise moved closer to the vehicle, among other things.
Putting up a strong fight, by knowing what questions to ask and what questions to avoid asking, may enable a successful defence to a charge of driving too closely to a bicyclist.
Upon a finding of guilt for unlawfully passing too closely to a bicyclist, a driver may be fined up to $1,000 plus victim surcharge and court costs. The driver will also receive two (2) demerit points and may be subjected to insurance rate hikes.

A Missouri woman's defamation case made it to the Missouri Supreme Court today after a 2010 Humane Society report claimed her kennel was one of the worst puppy mills in the state.

Wrap: An attorney for Mary Smith argued the U.S. Humane Society's report, which called her kennel one of the state's "dirty dozen," defamed her and invaded her right to privacy as a private citizen.

Description: "But in this case you've got a private citizen who is in rural Missouri, minding her own business, running a kennel, and she finds herself on the national news."

Proposition B was a proposed state constitutional amendment at the time that would have enacted stricter regulations on puppy mills.

The Missouri Supreme Court heard arguments today in a woman's defamation case involving a 2010 Humane Society report that called her kennel one of the worst puppy mills in the state.
Wrap: Mary Smith's attorney argued the report was an invasion of her privacy as a private citizen, and the U.S. Humane Society only included her kennel in the report for political reasons.
Smith is the mother of Republican Congressman Jason Smith, who was serving in the Missouri House at the time.
The Humane Society's attorney Bernard Rhodes called this claim "bogus."

Description: "Mrs. Smith was selected because she was in over her head. For more than 10 years she tried to run a dog kennel and was in over her head, and therefore she had violation after violation after violation."
Rhodes said the Humane Society is protected by the First Amendment because the report was opinion and should be considered political speech.

The plan concerning the uncontrolled territories of Donbas, which was prepared by the cabinet, risks to be disrubpted, – experts of the "Restoring Donbas"
The government's plan concerning the work with uncontrolled territories of Donetsk and Luhansk regions has a number of useful innovations. However, it was adopted with a delay of three years and can remain just as a formal document. Such conclusion was made by experts of «Restoring Donbas» community initiative, which was founded by Oleksandr Klymenko. They analysed the provisions of the Decree of the Cabinet of Ministers, January 11, concerning the implementation of state policy on the uncontrolled territories of Donetsk and Luhansk regions.
Olena Petryayeva, the head of the initiative and member of the Political Council of the «Uspishna Kraina» party, stressed the necessity of plethora steps (which are mentioned in the document) and expressed regret over the fact that authorities decided to make it several years after the beginning of the conflict. According to her estimates, the document itself has a number of positive innovations for residents of the so-called "gray zone" particularly.
However, a number of risks in such authorities' attitude towards Donbas problems can lead to null innovations.
"Unfortunately, it will not work without further efforts of the Cabinet aimed at implementation its provisions. We are all witnesses of the process, when MPs and the government repeatedly expressed concerns for IDPs and Donbas residents, and forgot about it later", – Petryayeva stressed.
Intention to provide residents of uncontrolled territories with an access to a range of administrative services and assistance in obtaining Ukrainian education for children are the unconditional benefits of the plan. However, according to Petryayeva, "even those provisions, which are designed to help residents of uncontrolled territories, include the duality of standards of the government".
"The plan provides the prevention of wage arrears for employees of enterprises of all forms of ownership, which operate in Donbas. At the same time, they forgot about pensioners, who live there. Although, according to our information, such provision was originally included to the Plan. Later it was removed at the insistence of Mr. Rosenko and Ministry of social policy", – the head of the initiative noted.
Moreover, experts of the "Restoring Donbas", commented on the governmental Plan, which consists from 17 points, and stated that a number of the declared intentions are doomed to failure.
In particular, the document officially recognized the existence of corruption at checkpoints. However, the offered methods of struggling (video monitoring and lectures) are initially ineffective. Moreover, it was most likely suggested for the sake of the "check mark".
According to Marina Tatarintseva, a lawyer of the «Restoring Donbas», a number of other intentions within the framework of the Plan are more declarative in its nature. Nowadays, it will not operate too.
«Here is a simple instance – improvement of procedures of moving goods across the demarcation line should have been prepared by August 2015 by the Cabinet of Ministers. Nowadays, the procedure is still regulated by the Security Service of Ukraine (breaching the direct rule of the law).
It also comes about the provisions related to a dialogue with residents of uncontrolled territories – relocation of orphans and children deprived of parental care, cooperation with trade unions, etc. The authorities have to understand that all of this is impossible without a contact with the other party," – she noted.
According to Olena Petryayeva, the head of the "Restoring Donbas", nowadays there is the only way to start implementing the governmental action plan is to start a dialogue, which will help to sew Ukraine together. First of all, it can be achieved by so-called "people's diplomacy". "Meanwhile, nowadays, public figures already have instances of the prohibition of the operation of their organizations on uncontrolled territories. I believe that initiatives within the framework of Plan will have the same fate», – she summed up.
Let us remind, last year, in December, the "Restoring Donbas" presented an alternative plan for the settlement of the conflict in the East and reintegration of the region. It comes about a comprehensive document, including issues related to cease-fire and peacemaking to ensure the safety of citizens, which was presented in the framework of the II Annual Forum "Restoring Donbas and Ukraine." More than 90 specialized experts, volunteers, representatives of public organizations and international missions attended the Forum in order to work it out.

For years, all of us in the music business knew our rooms sound bad, especially in the low end. Those of us in the business have tried many things but most treatments do not perform as advertised or work at all. We have tried boxes filled with building insulation, foam, yes, and even egg crates without success. We know we have a problem, and until now we have had no real solution. We have just had to live with the issues or work around them by taking our mixes to other rooms. That craziness all stops now.
We have been telling people for many years, the importance of treating your room first then placing your gear into it. This has many advantages. First, you will hear more of what your equipment really sounds like. Electronics have come a long way with lower noise floors, wide dynamic range, and high resolution. Treating your room unwanted low, middle, and high-frequency pressure issues, lets your equipment be heard in its entirety.
Most people that treat their rooms first, end up spending less on gear because they have taken the distortion of the room out of the sonic equation. Remember, that what you hear in your room is 50% equipment and 50 % room sound. If you have 32-bit equipment and place it in an 8-bit room, what are you really accomplishing? You are spending more money to hear less sound. People have been doing this for the last 50 years.
To illustrate this point, we have taken the worst environment for sound and treated this space with low, middle, and high-frequency absorption. We have increased the carbon technology inside our units to provide the extra low-frequency horsepower inside a very, very, small room. The room is a bus that is only 7′ wide and 7′ tall. The room is on wheels and we will be making a nationwide tour to demo this technology.
With a 7′ w x 7′ h x 21′ l room, we are beaten before we start. The room exhibits issues from 26 Hz. – 330 Hz. and they are double-digit large. Treating these large, low-frequency, pressure issues have never been possible with current treatment technologies until now. Our diaphragmatic, carbon technology is the game changer. We have found the answer. Come hear for yourself how a 7′ wide room can sound 15′ wide.
Each one of our carbon modules that are 24″ x 12″ x 24″ has our carbon technology inside. These modules have more carbon than our standard production units. We need more absorption horsepower because we are on a bus. No one will have a room this small, so if we smooth this response curve with + 9 – + 21 dB issues from 30 – 330 Hz. think what we can do for your room. Each module is 4 square feet. We achieve + .5 dB attenuation from 30 – 300 Hz. for every 4 square feet. You have to hear this low-frequency horsepower to believe it. There is nothing as powerful on the planet. Absolutely, nothing.
Small rooms need to sound like large rooms. One of the largest impediments to achieving this is the rear wall. The reflections from the rear walls interpose themselves upon the purer direct sound from our loudspeakers during mixing and can actually enter our mixes. We have two treatment choices: absorption and diffusion. Absorption will minimize reflections through attenuation. However, it can not redistribute the reflection into another sound field that compliments our mix usage instead of working against into a competing sound field. Rear wall diffusion makes a small bus sound like a real room.
We will be starting the tour shortly on the west coast around the Los Angeles area. After some time in Los Angeles, we will head towards San Francisco. After San Francisco, we will be headed to Colorado, through the midwest and then towards the east coast. I hope you get a chance to hear for yourself the power of our carbon. If you would like to be considered for a personal demo and can meet our demo requirements you can pre-register with us by filling out the form below.
The ACDA -10 Modules are broadband absorbers that absorb energy from 30 – 6500 Hz. with an average coefficient of 25 % / octave. The ACDA -12 modules absorb from 30 Hz. – 50 Hz. with 35 % at 35, 63 % at 40, and 100 % at 50 Hz.
These are the most powerful absorbers every created. Each 24″ x 24″ x 12″ module weighs 65 lbs and incorporates our carbon and foam technologies. Using modular units of the ACDA, we can calculate the amount of units needed until sufficient low frequency absorption is reached for the specific room size, volume and usage.

What Causes Breast to Expand?
Breast development occurs in stages, beginning before birth, changing during puberty and the childbearing years, and ending at menopause.
Breasts can grow in response to hormones estrogen and progesterone, as well as pathological conditions such as benign and cancerous breast tumors and certain medications.
Breast changes continue to occur throughout a woman's life. The first thing to develop are lobes, followed by mammary glands, which are influenced by hormones activated in puberty. Shrinkage of the milk ducts is the final major change that occurs in the breast tissue, which typically starts at about age 35.
What are the physiological causes of breast growth?
As a girl approaches her teen years, the first visible signs of breast development begin. When the ovaries start to produce and release estrogen, fat in the connective tissue starts to collect, causing the breasts to enlarge. The duct system starts to grow. Often, these breast changes occur at the same time pubic and armpit hair appear.
Once ovulation and menstruation begin, maturing of the breasts begins with the formation of secretory glands at the end of the milk ducts. The breasts and duct system continue to grow and mature, with the development of glands and lobules. The rate at which breasts grow is different for each person.
Each month, women go through hormonal changes during the menstrual cycle. The hormone estrogen is produced by the ovaries in the first half of the menstrual cycle and stimulates the growth of milk ducts in the breasts. Increased levels of estrogen lead to ovulation halfway through the cycle. Progesterone then takes over in the second half of the cycle and stimulates the formation of the milk glands. Progesterone is responsible for cyclical changes that many women feel in their breasts just before menstruation, such as swelling, pain, and soreness.
During menstruation, many women have changes in breast texture. For example, their breasts may feel lumpy, because the glands in the breast are enlarging to get ready for a possible pregnancy. If pregnancy does not occur, breast size goes back to normal. Once menstruation starts, the cycle begins again.
Pregnancy and lactation
Many doctors believe the breasts are not fully mature until a woman has given birth and produces milk. Breast changes are one of the earliest signs of pregnancy caused by progesterone. For example the dark areas of skin around the nipples (areolas) may begin to swell. This is followed by rapid swelling and expansion of the breasts. Most pregnant women feel soreness down the sides of the breasts and tingling or soreness in the nipples because of the growth of the milk duct system and formation of many more lobules.
By months 5 or 6 of pregnancy, the breasts are fully capable of producing milk. As in puberty, estrogen controls the growth of the ducts, and progesterone controls the growth of the glandular buds. Many other hormones play vital roles in milk production. These include follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, prolactin, oxytocin, and human placental lactogen.
Other physical changes may also occur, such as the blood vessels in the breast becoming more visible and areolas getting larger and darker. All these changes are in preparation for breastfeeding the baby after birth.
Perimenopause typically starts or is underway by the time a woman reaches her late 40s and early 50s. At this time, estrogen and progesterone levels begin to change. Estrogen levels dramatically decrease, leading to many of the symptoms commonly linked to menopause. Without estrogen, the breast's connective tissue becomes dehydrated and is no longer elastic. Breast tissue begins to shrink and lose shape.
Women who undergo hormone therapy may have symptoms similar to menstruation symptoms such as breasts soreness and swelling. However, if a woman's breasts were saggy before menopause, this will not change with hormone therapy.
Because most breast tissue is made up of fats, an increase in body fat leads to accumulation of fats in the breasts, giving them a fuller appearance. Therefore, if increased food or calorie intake may result in the enlargement of one's breast.

Viator founder slams TripAdvisor over strategy, saying Priceline's better suited
12/11/2017| 3:51:20 PM| Phocuswire 中文
TripAdvisor's stewardship of the business - via a $200 million deal of buying Viator in 2014 - is taking the incorrect route and not capitalizing on the strength of the original brand.
TripAdvisor has been accused of neglecting its Viator tour and activity booking business by the man who created it in 1995.
Rod Cuthbert, Viator's founder, then CEO and latterly chairman until 2010, says TripAdvisor's stewardship of the business - via a $200 million deal in 2014 - is taking the incorrect route and not capitalizing on the strength of the original brand.
He says that TripAdvisor is "killing development on the [Viator] app" and forcing consumers to buy through the mothership's own product, a move that is "really counter-intuitive, and frankly wrong-headed".
But, unlike other acquisitions such as Jetsetter, Flipkey and Virtual Tourist, which were acquired and absorbed into the main business or scaled backed due to fairly low profiles in the marketplace, Viator should be "supported and celebrated", rather than rolled into TripAdvisor.
He argues that the Priceline Group model, with its acquisitions of Kayak or Booking.com, which are then let soar to "greater heights", would be better suited to Viator than the current strategy.

Often when I visit a school I ask the teacher what are some new, fun resources that they are using. This question often leads to cool discoveries and all sorts of conversations about classroom implementation and best practices.
The other day I just learned about Ed Heads from a technology teacher in northern Massachusetts. This is a great website that has a significant number of digital simulations ranging from students' designing a cell phone to a virtual hip replacement procedure. In addition to a quality graphic layout, each activity includes a teacher guide and a glossary of key terms. Solid resource for hooking students and bringing academic content to life.


The signed routes come with a new ValidateSignature middleware that will throw an InvalidSignatureException if the route signature is tampered with or expires, which results in a 401 status code.
Two new query builder methods were added, fromSub() and fromRaw() that help you create a subquery on from, instead of only being able to use table names.
Next up, is a new "not regex" validation rule that validates that an attribute doesn't pass a regular expression check.
An "after" callback was added for model factories that allow a user to define an action to be run after the model is created or made using create() or make().
Two new assertions were added to the TestResponse class, assertNotFound() and assertForbidden(). These methods are used to assert a 404 status code and a 403 status code respectively.
Last up test helpers were added to assert that a job is queued with a chain.

The Division's mandate has been renewed annually and has been expanded several times over the years, in particular to include the organization of international meetings, the establishment of a computer-based information system called the United Nations Information System on the Question of Palestine (UNISPAL)  and the holding of an annual training program for staff of the Palestinian Authority.

Activities

The core functions of the Division include:
 Providing support and services for the Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People
 Assisting the Committee in the exercise of its mandate and the promotion and implementation of its recommendations
 Planning, organizing and servicing the Committee's program of international meetings
 Maintaining liaison with active NGOs
 Organizing the annual commemoration of the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People
 Preparing studies and publications "relating to the question of Palestine and the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people and promoting their widest possible dissemination, including in cooperation with the Department of  Public Information"
 Maintaining and developing  the Web-based United Nations Information System on the Question of Palestine (UNISPAL).

Publications

The Division prepares the following publications on a regular basis:
 A monthly bulletin on international action on the question of Palestine, containing resolutions, decisions and communiqués of the relevant United Nations and other intergovernmental bodies and agencies
 A periodic bulletin entitled Developments related to the Middle East Peace Process
 A monthly chronological summary of events based on press reports and other publicly available sources
 A special bulletin on the observance of the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People
 An annual compilation of resolutions and decisions of the General Assembly and the Security Council relating to the question of Palestine

Training programs

The Division has conducted an annual training program for staff of the Palestinian Authority since 1996. The program is carried out at United Nations Headquarters in New York in cooperation with the Permanent Observer Mission of Palestine to the United Nations in conjunction with the convening of the General Assembly.

International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People

The International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People is observed annually to commemorate the adoption on November 29, 1947, of United Nations General Assembly Resolution 181 (II), which provided for the partition of Palestine into two States. The observance takes place at UN Headquarters in New York and at the UN Offices at Geneva and Vienna and elsewhere. The event includes meetings, Palestinian exhibits, film showings and other activities organized by governmental bodies and NGOs, in cooperation with the United Nations Information Centers.

How can AFC Bournemouth lineup against Crystal Palace?
AFC Bournemouth continue their relegation fight at Vitality Stadium on Saturday as they host Roy Hogdson's Crystal Palace.
This season AFC Bournemouth have had some struggles and lacked consistency so far, which has sadly resulted in them picking up just 27 points from possible 87 in 29 matches and this has seen them occupying lowly 18th position on the log with just nine games left to play.
Bournemouth are leveled on points with 16th placed West Ham United and 17th-placed Watford but will be fighting for survival to remain in England's top flight league.
Towards the league's restart, Bournemouth still have few of their first team players on the injury list with the likes of Lloyd Kelly, David Brooks, Artur Boruc and Charlie Daniels all still on the sidelines.
My possible starting lineup for Bournemouth to face Crystal Palace, with 4-3-3 formation are:
Aaron Ramsdale is enjoying his breakthrough season in the Premier League at the moment, as the 22-year-old goalkeeper made his first team debut for the Cherries at the beginning of this season and has since then kept four clean sheets in 29 league games.
His agility as a shot-stopper coupled with wonderful reflexes makes him a considerable option to continue to be between the sticks for now.
Adam Smith has made 18 league appearances this season, registering an assist. The 29-year-old definitely has enough experience to deal with Zaha's trickery as the Ivorian is likely to start from the left side in Palace attack.
Steve Cook is obviously full of experience and intelligence, which shows in his ability to seamlessly play as right back and as centre back. With 22 league appearances under his belt, the 29-year-old will be tasked to hold the line for the Cherries.
Nathan Ake's ability to play out from the back with his astute defending has made him one of the best centre back in the league. His composure, aggressiveness and reading of the game is undeniable.
With injury taking out Charlie Daniel and Lloyd Kelly, Diego Rico seems not to have a competitor or any need to worry about the left back position for now. With two assists in 21 league appearances, the Spanish international player will still be keeping his position for now and should be able to hold his ground against Crystal Palace tricky attackers.
Jefferson Lerma is blessed with energy and technicality that enhance a combination of both defensive and offensive threat. He contributes in both aspect of the game and against a physical opponent like Palace, Lerma will be needed to provide the require energy and physical presence in the middle of the park.
The towering midfielder Philip Billing looks to possess a dominant figure in the middle of the park, with impressive reading of the game as he made several interceptions, tackles and clearances. He's got a good dribbling ability too. With his all round game, the Denmark international will be an ideal pick for the match against Palace.
In his six-year spell with the Cherries Dan Gosling has been a reliable performer for Eddie Howe. The 30-year-old midfielder has already contributed two goals and an assist in 16 league appearances and his consistency conjoined with his experience will be needed against a strong and rigid side like Palace.
The 26-year-old left winger Ryan Fraser's ability to create chances and make dangerous runs from any side of the front line makes him one of the most dangerous offensive player in the team. His impressive stats last season and his productivity this season might not exactly be the same but there's no doubt that the Scottish international is still the Cherries' best chance creator and has just been let down by poor finishing. Although his contract situation may force Eddie Howe to bench him.
Callum Wilson remains the Cherries' deadliest finisher and the most productive out-and-out centre forward Eddie Howe could line up to lead the line this season. With eight Premier league goals and an assist already, Callum Wilson will continue to lead the line for the Cherries and be tasked to find the back of the net against Palace.
The 23-year-old Wales international forward Harry Wilson likes to operate from the right side of the attack and has already contributed seven Premier league goals (just a goal lesser than Bournemouth's top scorer Callum Wilson) thus far. His impressive performance with the Cherries in his first season in the top flight haven't gone unnoticed and his contributions has enthralled his parent club's manager Jurgen Klopp. The young forward will undoubtedly be starting from the right side of the attack.

A clerkship is highly recommended for students interested in applying to the UCSF Department of Neurological Surgery Residency Program.
Students become an integral part of the neurosurgery service, assisting members of the house staff and faculty. Activities include ward and ICU rounds, observing and assisting in the OR, taking night call, and attending grand rounds and other teaching conferences. The rotation is our sub-internship in neurosurgery and offers the motivated medical student an excellent opportunity to contribute to an active neurosurgery service. This rotation provides students with exposure to all the opportunities and resources available to neurosurgical residents at UCSF. It allows them to experience the training environment first-hand and observe residents at all stages of the training process, which informs students as they consider what would be the best training environment for their career.
Medical students spend two weeks at UCSF Parnassus or Mission Bay campus, depending on the student's interest. They also spend one week on the SFGH service and one week at the VA campus. These are meant to be immersive experiences with the student becoming a part of the clinical care team, rounding on the service with the resident in the morning, and spending each day in the operating room.
Offered Summer, Fall, Winter, and Spring quarters.
Prerequisites: UCSF students need to have taken Neurology 110, all other students need an equivalent course and the consent of the instructor. Non-UCSF students must be attending a U.S. medical school.
Students become an integral part of the neurosurgery service, assisting members of the house staff and faculty. Activities include ward and ICU rounds, assisting in the OR, taking night call, and attending grand rounds and other teaching conferences. This rotation amounts to a "subinternship" in neurosurgery and offers the motivated student an excellent opportunity to contribute to an active neurosurgery service at each hospital (Moffitt/Long, San Francisco General Hospital, San Francisco VA Medical Center). Offered Summer, Fall, Winter, and Spring quarters.
Students will participate in a research project under the direction of a member of the faculty. Extensive background reading will be required and discussion of important topics will be held at weekly laboratory and program project research conferences. Offered Summer, Fall, Winter, and Spring quarters.
Your dates of attendance for any clerkship must correspond with the UCSF Block Electives Calendar. You must start at the beginning of the block(s) and finish at the end of the block(s). No exceptions are made to this calendar. Interested students must submit an application by using the AAMC Visiting Student Application Service.

(03-26) 04:00 PDT Spokane, Wash. --
There are no prima donnas, and the different personalities complement each other. They don't always agree, but they are united in the desire to deliver Stanford its first women's national basketball championship since 1992.
This could apply to the Stanford players, but it's just as apt in describing the coaching staff that Tara VanDerveer has assembled.
Amy Tucker has been a head coach herself - she and Marianne Stanley guided Stanford to the 1996 Final Four during the season that VanDerveer was coaching the Olympic team. And Bobbie Kelsey and Kate Paye, hired about a month apart in 2007, "will be great head coaches," VanDerveer predicts.
The staff has led the Cardinal (31-2) into the Sweet 16, and they'll play North Carolina (28-8) at 8:30 tonight, following a 6 p.m. matchup between hometown favorite Gonzaga (30-4) and Louisville (22-12).
VanDerveer and Tucker arrived together from Ohio State in 1985 and have been a dynamic partnership ever since. Tucker, a former Buckeyes star, was offered the Ohio State head coaching job in 1997 but turned it down.
"It was really tough to do," she said. "I loved my time at Ohio State. I loved being in Columbus, which was close to my family. But what it came down to is, I couldn't see myself leaving Stanford and what we have built here."
According to VanDerveer, Tucker is like the general manager of the operation. Her title is associate head coach, but she is also the recruiting coordinator, the personnel director, the liaison with the admissions office and the compliance officer.
There have been times the two have clashed over a high school prospect. Both remember one that VanDerveer really wanted many years ago. "Over my dead body," Tucker told her.
Sometimes her simple retort to VanDerveer over a prep whiz is: "2.5." In other words, her grade-point average won't get her into Stanford.
"She does a great job of identifying talent," VanDerveer said. "It's a big part of why our program has been successful."
Tucker is more introverted than VanDerveer but equally determined. While riding her bike in Los Altos several years ago, she was hit by a car and had a concussion and abrasions on her legs. She rode home anyway.
Her longevity at Stanford has surprised her. In 1995 she told an interviewer, "I have to admit I have trouble envisioning myself doing this at 50."
She turned 50 recently and said, "I'm still going strong and loving what I'm doing." She doesn't anticipate any more head coaching offers. "Probably the word's out in the street that, 'She's not leaving,' " she said.
Both Kelsey and Paye hope to be head coaches. They were on Stanford's last national title team. Although Kelsey was red-shirted that 1991-92 season as a result of a knee injury, she was voted the team's most inspirational player.
Spokane tonight
Who: No. 5 seed North Carolina (28-8) vs. No. 1 Stanford (31-2)
When: 8:30 p.m.
TV/Radio: ESPN2/90.1
How they got there
Stanford: The Cardinal have won 25 games in a row. In the NCAAs they routed UC Davis and St. John's after allowing both teams to hang with them in the first half. They need to be more aggressive from the start.
North Carolina: The 14th-ranked Tar Heels righted the ship after losing four in a row down the stretch. They have won six of their past seven games, including wins over Fresno State and Kentucky in the Big Dance.
When Stanford has the ball: If the opposition negates the fastbreak, the usual formula is to get the ball to the Ogwumike sisters in the low block and then have them hit the offensive glass. UNC has some size in 6-foot-3 Jessica Breland, 6-5 Chay Shegog and 6-6 Waltiea Rolle. It's time for Jeanette Pohlen to shake off her recent shooting slump.
When UNC has the ball: Guard Italee Lucas averages 16.0 points and Breland 12.7. The Tar Heels are not a strong three-point shooting team (29 percent) but rely heavily on the fastbreak. "I would love to get in a running game with them," point guard Cetera DeGraffenreid said.
Stanford skinny: Guard Toni Kokenis put in a limited practice Friday to test her sprained ankle. She said the ankle is sore but she'll play. Forward Chiney Ogwumike will play with tape protecting the dislocated pinky on her left hand. No problem, she said.
UNC skinny: Breland had a strong comeback season after missing the 2009-10 season while undergoing chemotherapy for Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Who: No. 11 Gonzaga (30-4) vs.
No. 7 Louisville (22-12)
When: 6 p.m.
Zag-mania: Gonzaga has captivated Spokane, thanks mainly to spectacular point guard Courtney Vandersloot, the first player in NCAA history (men or women) with at least 2,000 points and 1,000 assists in her career. "She's mesmerizing," coach Kelly Graves said. The Zags are the highest scoring team in the country. Louisville point guard Shoni Schimmel is no slouch either. The freshman had 33 points in the second-round upset of Xavier.

Revenue is revenue and you're leaving money on the table if you don't explore possibilities beyond Google — we're talking major opportunities on Amazon, Polyvore and eBay.
Chris Humber, the head of search at GroupM, starts with a fast tip: within seven to 10 days of optimizing your product database, you will see an increase in visibility.
Where do consumers go when they're ready to purchase products? Many turn to their local stores. They walk in and get it … it's immediate gratification. This is traditional shelf space.
But what about digital shelf space?
Amazon plays a key role in the shopping journey. Consumers use Amazon as a top destination for product searches.
44% of consumers start their product search with Amazon.
39% of consumers say Amazon has better product search capability while 8% say Google does.
43% of U.S. shoppers say the main reason they choose Amazon is the ability to intuitively find or predict exactly what they want more quickly.
73% of shoppers say they will make a purchase on Amazon at least once during the holiday season.
87% of shoppers say they will check Amazon at least once during their shopping process this holiday season.
What about social shopping? Sites like Pinterest, Polyvore, ModCloth, Wanelo, OpenSky and Fancy are frequented more and more.
Pinterest is where the world's ideas are catalogued and stored, and it's also one of the most advanced visual-based search engines that exists today.
On Pinterest, 55% of users shop for products, not to talk with friends or brands. Compare this to 12% on Facebook and 12% on Instagram, according to Forrester research.
To identify keywords, leverage multiple tools. Amazon Retail Analytics (ARA) Premium provides your top 100 search terms each month.
Understand the search landscape beyond Google. Look at organic search results with tools like STAT, BrightEdge, SEMRush, SpyFu, AdGooRoo, Mozenda and Deep Crawl. Determine what has the top share of voice on search (paid and organic) and Amazon (paid and organic) to pinpoint market trends.
Don't forget to optimize your product pages!
21 reviews is the sweet spot. At this point, there is a 3% to 5% increase in conversion rate (depending on the presence of negative reviews); after that the increase drops off.
Use 3 or more images.
Availability – always have your product in stock.
Have at least one piece of supplemental content.
Elizabeth Marsten, the director of paid search at CommerceHub, is going to dive into some other platforms. Some of them, like Polyvore, you may have never heard of.
Rich Pins are free but you need metadata on that page of your site.
Product Feed needed for Promoted and Buyable pins. You maintain ability to edit or designate which products are promoted. Buyable requires a partner to handle the transaction.
CommerceHub has seen an average return on ad spend (ROAS) among clients at 900-1200%. These clients have product catalogs ranging from 350 to 1,000.
Keep in mind that this is still a remarketing method. You first need engagement channels to create audiences. It cannibalizes other channels with a last-click attribution. Use your revenue numbers, not just Facebook's.
This Yahoo-owned social commerce site's users are 84% female and 50% of those females are millennials under the age of 34. On the site, you make "sets," which are outfits. More than 3 million sets are created each month.
Marsten said ladies shopping on these sites have money to burn. The average order on Polyvore is $270. Comparatively, the average order value on Instagram is $228, Twitter is $155 and Facebook is $130.
This marketplace connects retailers and influencers. Note: influencers lift purchase intent by 2X. 49% of users rely on recommendations from influencers.
They have partnered with Facebook to monetize message apps (i.e. sending auctions through Messenger) and create collections for sharing. They've adopted AMP. They've adopted ASIN pages, which improve SERPs to be static pages, not auctions that have ended.
Nice post about pinterest.Because Pinterest users are looking for useful and inspirational products, the platform is a natural place for marketers to share items and services they believe in.
Great post about Pinterest. I am starting to see more traffic to my site from my pins and this post had some valuable information to help me maximize my time and efforts.
Thanks a lot for perfect observation and statistics! I usually use Facebook and Pinterest, but you are right, there are more a lot interesting platforms to use.

Daniel Gray Quillen (* 22. Juni 1940 in Orange, New Jersey; † 30. April 2011 in Florida) war ein US-amerikanischer Mathematiker, der sich mit Algebra und Topologie beschäftigte.

Leben
Quillen war der Sohn eines Physiklehrers. Er studierte an der Harvard University (Bachelor-Abschluss 1961), an der er 1964 bei Raoul Bott promovierte (Formal Properties of over-determined systems of linear partial differential equations). Als Post-Doc war er am Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) als Moore-Instructor (1964), 1968/69 als Sloan Research Fellow in Paris bei Alexander Grothendieck, 1969/70 bei Michael Francis Atiyah am Institute for Advanced Study und nochmals 1973/74 als Guggenheim-Fellow in Paris. Er war ab 1984 Waynflete-Professor für Mathematik am Magdalen College an der University of Oxford. 2006 emeritierte er.

1975 wurde Quillen mit dem Colepreis für Algebra ausgezeichnet. Er erhielt 1978 die Fields-Medaille für seine maßgebliche Rolle in der Entwicklung der algebraischen K-Theorie (1972) und für die Bestätigung (gleichzeitig mit Andrei Suslin, aber unabhängig) der Vermutung von Serre, dass jedes algebraische Vektorbündel über einem affinen Raum trivial ist (Satz von Quillen-Suslin). Die algebraische K-Theorie ging auf Ideen von Grothendieck in der algebraischen Geometrie zurück, die auch von Atiyah und Friedrich Hirzebruch in der topologischen K-Theorie aufgegriffen worden waren. Quillen musste in der Definition der höheren algebraischen K-Gruppen aber völlig neue Wege gehen, wobei er Techniken aus der Homotopietheorie anwandte.

In den 1960er Jahren bewies er eine Vermutung von John Frank Adams in der Homotopietheorie, wobei er Methoden der modularen Darstellungstheorie von Gruppen anwandte. Er arbeitete auch über Gruppenkohomologie, wo er einen Struktursatz für den Kohomologiering mod p von endlichen Gruppen bewies.

1974 hielt er einen Plenarvortrag auf dem Internationalen Mathematikerkongress (ICM) in Vancouver (Higher algebraic K-theory) und 1970 war er Invited Speaker auf dem ICM in Nizza (Cohomology of groups). 1978 wurde Quillen in die National Academy of Sciences gewählt.

Er war mit der Geigerin Jean Quillen verheiratet und hatte fünf Kinder. Quillen verstarb am 30. April 2011 in einem Haven Hospice im Norden Floridas an den Folgen seiner Alzheimer-Krankheit.
