Cyst Removal
Revolutionary small scar technique
Same day treatment in 30 mins
We can help where the NHS is unable to
Cysts are closed pockets of tissue that can be filled with fluid, pus, or other material, creating a "lump or bump" that may feel like a small, smooth pea under the skin's surface.
Cysts can develop as a result of infection, clogging of sebaceous glands, or around foreign bodies or ingrowing hairs. Cysts often occur on the face, scalp and body with the commonest types being a sebaceous cyst, epidermal or pilar cysts.
Most patients have already seen their doctor and been advised that these are harmless, which is correct. The problems occur when cysts get bigger and irritate; or get infected/rupture, which causes them to swell and become painful.
It is often best to get them removed before this happens and the scar from removal is far less noticeable. Occasionally the lump or bump may be a lipoma which is fatty lump slightly deeper in the skin that is also easily removed with minimal scarring.
Cyst Removal Costs from only £500

What our patients say
38 thoughts on "Cyst Removal"
I'm 22, I've had a cyst on my right cheek bone for about 2 years, which occasionally swells & then contracts. It's reasonably painful when it's swollen. On average its size is increasing and is currently about the size of a pea.
Does a consultation cost anything? I'm based in Bristol.
Many Thanks,
A consultation is £50 but redeemable against treatment on the day. If you wish you can send a photograph of your cyst to email@example.com and we will ask a Doctor to give advice.
Hi I have a cyst on my back n it's abt 3cm so can u Pls tell me tht what I have to do?
Hello, the best way forward is to see one of our doctors for an assessment and explanation of the options. This costs £50 but is redeemable against treatment on the day. If you wish you can send a photograph of your cyst to firstname.lastname@example.com and we will ask a Doctor to give advice or call our friendly team for further advice.
Hello, could you tell me what your procedure is called for cyst removal from the head/scalp that does not cause scarring, or that leaves minimal scarring? I am in the United States, (Utah) looking for a doctor who will do what you describe. Thank you.
It is a minor surgical procedure. Our doctors use careful techniques to minimise scarring, but any procedure will leave some mark. The aim is for this to be small and neat so that it heals well and fades with time.
Do you have any experience with the removal of a Dermatofibroma cyst on the lower leg
its about 1cm round had it for 10 yrs.
Thank you
Yes we do. The only way to remove this sort of cyst is by ellipse excision with stitches. The procedure will replace the lump with a thin scar. This is a common problem often occurring after a insect bite or injury. If it's in the lower leg we advise to rest for 2 days after in order to limit amount of wailing around. Our doctor estimates cost from £650-£850 plus £80 for testing. A consultation would be required to assess the cyst and confirm cost. Please contact us if you wish to book an appointment.
what is the cost for multiple cyst removals?
We would recommend a consultation with one of our skin doctors to assess the number and size of cysts and can quote accordingly at that point. However, if you would like to send in a photo we can give an estimate in advance. You can email your photo to firstname.lastname@example.com or call 020 7386 0464 to discuss further or book an appointment.
I have four lumps on my face that I would like removing. I once saw a programme on TV where a similar lump on a ladies face was treated using a laser and it reduced and disappeared within a matter of seconds. Is this a type of treatment you can provide?
We do use a laser in some of our skin procedures, it depends what the problem is. If you could email a photo in confidence to email@example.com, we'll ask a doctor to take a look and provide more accurate advice on what treatment would be most appropriate for you.
Hi what is the cost of removing a lump under nipple in male chest.
Cyst removal costs from £450. However, we would need to see the problem to confirm costs properly. Larger cysts are more expensive, but if the issue is a skin tag, wart or mole, then it is likely to cost less. If you wish, you can email a photo in confidence to email@example.com. This doesn't replace a consultation, but can be helpful to get an idea of cost in advance.
I have a cyst on my nose right in the middle.
I want it to be removed but I don't want any scar on my nose is there a way to do that? an excesion without stitches in the end?
All surgery will leave some kind of mark, although scars do fade as the skin heals and the resultant mark is usually far less obvious than the original cyst. If you would like to email a photo of the cyst to email@example.com we'll ask a doctor to take a look and advise. This doesn't replace a proper face to face consultation, but we should be able to give a bit more information and advice before you visit.
Have 2 large cysts on my scalp and also 3 smaller ones there as well! How much would this cost to be removed?
Mole removal normally starts from £450 per mole, but there would probably be some cost saving for several. The doctor would need to assess this in person to give the best advice, but if you'd prefer to get a guide before your appointment, then you can email a photo of your cysts in confidence to firstname.lastname@example.com. Thank you.
I have many cyst under both armpit.. Would like a consultant to see me asap and tell me what the bestest treatment to cure.
Hello, a consultation for cyst removal can be arranged at any of our clinics in London or Bristol. I have arranged for our bookings team to email you. Alternatively, you can call the team on 020 7386 0464 to book an appointment over the phone.
I noticed on pictures that you removed a cyst between nose and eye and have no scars left. I did have a cyst in a similar place and their doctor cut open 2 inches on my face and left a huge scar that is bothering me. I also have scars from stitches holes. Can you remove it? Also I cysts growing on my forehead and under my lower lips. Is it from the food?
We suggest you come in for a consultation with one of our doctors, who can examine your cysts and scars and give you the best advice. Alternatively, you can send a photo or photos of the areas you are concerned about to email@example.com and we'll try to provide some preliminary advice from there.
Hi, my son has a cyst under his hair which he would like to have removed. Please can you advise whether he should shave the area before the consultation / operation or do you do that yourself. Many thanks,
There's no need to cut or shave any hair before the appointment, as it's best to examine the cyst first and see what sort of treatment will be most appropriate.
Hi, I have cyst on my upper thigh, at first I didn't really notice cause it was quite small , but now I think it's bigger and became irritated and a bit painful. Can it still be removed and what's the price?
We have removed some very large cysts – for example, Dr Ross Perry removed this one on a patient's side – click to view large cyst removal before and after results.
Large cysts are more complex and therefore quoted accordingly. You can send a photo in confidence to email@example.com and request an estimate, although that is subject to confirmation at appointment when the cyst has been properly examined. If you wish to book, please request a consultation with Dr Ross Perry at any of our London clinics.
I have a cyst in front of my left ear on my face. I would like to get it removed, how much would this cost?
Cyst removal costs from £450, which is subject to confirmation at consultation. If you wish, you could send a photo of the cyst to email@example.com for advice in advance of any appointment. Please call 020 7386 0464 or email our team if you wish to book in to see a doctor.
Can groin lump be treated at the clinic?
We do treat quite major cysts and also offer treatment for skin tags/warts in the groin and genital area, but we can't confirm 100% without seeing the lump in a consultation. We suggest you request an appointment with Dr Ross Perry. If you would like to get a view in advance of the consultation, you can email a picture in confidence to firstname.lastname@example.com requesting a Doctor review. This doesn't replace a consultation but can be useful at this stage while you are considering your options.
Hi ,
I hope you can help , I am 51 and in my change , I have 9 small cysts on my face , 3 of them I have had for a few years , the rest have grown in the last 2 years .. I am getting to the stage , that I look at them every day , and I don't like photos being taken , as they stand out ..
I can provide you with a photo ..
I have a few questions …
1) if removed , could they grow back .
2) is the growth of them hormone related .
With many thanks
Mrs R
Hi, our doctors would need to diagnose the type of lump before replying to your questions. If you could send a photo to firstname.lastname@example.com, we will ask Dr Ross Perry to advise.
Any diagnosis/treatment is still subject to confirmation at a face to face consultation, but a review of your photo may be very helpful to provide you with some information in advance.
I'm 24 years old and I have a subcutaneous cyst on the left side of my scalp. I have been to my GP and they say it is not serious. However, in this moment of time it causes alot of nerve pain. How much will it cost for its removal?
Hi, i have a cyst on my right cheek, it is very visible, it has grown but more on the inside of the cheek than the outside. Would this be possible to be done easily?
Do you remove the entire sack of the cyst? I am concerned that by squeezing it out, it would come back.
Also, is there a long waiting list to undergo such procedure? (I have a small cyst on the bride of my nose that is like removed).
Many thanks.

John and Deborah McDaniel
????app????On September 11, 1997, John and Deborah McDaniel received the shocking news that their 20-year old son, Uriah McDaniel, had been beaten and stabbed to death. A few days later, they learned that the killer was a down-and-out youth with a drug habit and violent tendencies whom their son had befriended and tried to help.
John and his wife, Deborah, have chosen not to hang on to the pain and anger of that horror and its damaging effect on their lives. After several months of grief, anger and inner turmoil that almost destroyed their marriage, they wrote and sent a letter of forgiveness to their son's killer.
????app????John has since set out on a journey of change. He makes presentations to organizations promoting the need for outreach to prisoners. He conducts a 3-day workshop in prisons for inmates. It is entitled "Free the Heart, A Healing Experience" He does a segment on forgiveness during the workshop and his wife reads their letter to their son's killer. He says, "Man is it ever powerful!"
John believes that if you don't forgive you cannot heal. He feels that forgiving his son's killer literally saved his life.

NewsPoppyscotland Inverness opens doors for Armed Forces Day Wilfred Owen's historic first steps in Edinburgh revisited
A new service launched yesterday called Veterans' Gateway is promising to revolutionise a military charity sector that currently leaves over 61 per cent of veterans confused, by providing a first point of contact for veterans seeking support.
Launched ahead of the annual Armed Forces Day this weekend, Veterans' Gateway will improve access to welfare services and speed-up the time it takes for veterans to receive the support they deserve. The new £2 million service is funded by the Ministry of Defence (MoD) from the Covenant Fund and will be delivered by a Royal British Legion-led consortium comprising Poppyscotland, Combat Stress, Connect Assist, the Ministry of Defence and SSAFA, the Armed Forces Charity.
Independent research commissioned by the consortium that 61 per cent found the sheer number of charity providers confusing; there are now over 2,000 registered Armed Forces charities. The resulting confusion left 47 per cent unsure where to turn. Over 50 per cent of respondents said the number of military charities makes it 'harder and slower' to get the right help, with 18 per cent having been referred to between three and 10 charities before they get the necessary support.
The new 24-hour online chat, phone, and text message service is partly manned by veterans who have been trained to help a British Armed Forces community estimated to be around 6 million and growing by 20,000 annually. Bringing together over 30 referral partners including Veterans UK, Mind and the Career Transition Partnership to name but a few – and with more organisations to be added – veterans and their dependents will be able to access support services in areas including physical health, financial support, assistance with independent living, housing, mental wellbeing, and employment.
The service comes in response to independent reports published by the Forces in Mind Trust and Lord Ashcroft's 2014 Veterans' Transition Review, which both called for the process by which veterans are guided to welfare support services to be made easier to navigate. Lord Ashcroft's principal recommendation was the creation of a single 24/7 contact centre.
Mark Bibbey, Chief Executive of Poppyscotland, on behalf of the Veterans' Gateway consortium said: "Despite the wonderful work that charities do, we must face up to the fact that the sheer number of providers in our sector can cause confusion amongst the veterans we are trying to help. Veterans' Gateway has been born from the need to make things simpler, providing a first point of contact for those in need. With 86 per cent of our veterans in Scotland welcoming its creation, it will mark a huge step towards delivering the help that our ex-Servicemen and women deserve."
George Holmes, a 67 year-old who served for 12 years in the Royal Navy, comes from a proud military family. Following active service during the Aden Emergency, he found the transition to "Civvy Street" incredibly difficult but did not feel able to reach out to any charities for guidance. He believes Veterans' Gateway will be a great help for others like him struggling to adapt to life outside the military.
George said: "When I was leaving the Navy, there was simply no help available. Nobody spoke to you about what you had been through, and there was no obvious help when finding work. It is important for people to find the confidence to ask for help and not see it as a weakness. In my day we weren't forthcoming about asking for help, but it should be different now. The Veterans' Gateway will give ex-Service personnel the helping hand they need."
Tobias Ellwood, Minister for Defence People and Veterans said: "The vast majority of our people make a smooth transition from military to civilian life, but Veterans' Gateway provides extra support in the form of a staffed, 24-hour, one-stop-shop offering guidance on housing and employment, finance, mental and physical health. Our £2 million investment honours the nation's Armed Forces Covenant and draws all facets of support for our Armed Forces community together for the first time."
In 2013 The Forces in Mind Trust's independent Transition Mapping Study found that the unsuccessful transition from Service to civilian life cost the UK economy an estimated £113 million in 2012 alone. It is hoped that with earlier, more accurate intervention, the cost will be considerably less, to both the individual seeking support and the UK economy.

About Us
How It All Began
Earth Wizards started business in March 2000. The owner, Stacy Anderson, grew up working in all aspects of a family asphalt business: installation, estimating, bidding, and management. When starting Earth Wizards, her passion for clean water inspired her to take paving practices in a different direction. Driveways, parking lots and roadways are obviously still necessary, but approaching these projects with a sensitivity to waterways, habitats, budgets and maintenance became the new goal. Over the past 17+ years, the entire Earth Wizards team has become quite good at knowing what works and what doesn't.
Family members, Gary Anderson and Jeff Anderson, lead the paving side of the company. Conventional paving with asphalt and concrete comprises roughly 50% of Earth Wizards' business. Shelly Skow, the lead estimator, is known for being attentive and communicative, and the installation crews have years of experience and a great deal of knowledge. Steve Jobs said it best: "It doesn't make sense to hire smart people and tell them what to do; we hire smart people so they can tell us what to do."
Stacy focuses on the ecological side of the business. She concentrates on mitigating stormwater runoff by designing parking lots and other developments in ways that compliment the property and engage the community. Creativity leads the design with budget and construction practicalities refining the project. The goal is to be thoughtful and detailed in the design process so the transition to installation is as seamless as possible.
We love what we do.

Between getting engaged and becoming a judge on Fox's new show The Four: Battle for Stardom, Meghan Trainoris already rockin' it in 2018.
E! News talked to the "All about That Bass" singer at the Fox Winter TCA red carpet in Pasadena on Thursday.
Meghan Trainor a 23-year-old American pop singer has blown everyone away with her amazing weight loss and she's almost unrecognizable!
But, Meghan didn't talk much about how much she weighed when the first song was released.
According to some sources, she was tipping the scales at 175 pounds at a height of 5'5".
However, in the couple of years that have passed since her first hit song, this American pop star is dishing on her notable weight loss and reveals that she is feeling amazing after dropping several pounds and getting in perfect shape.
The singer spoke about her weight loss transformation in an interview, where she revealed the truth behind her health kick and opened up about her secret obsession when it comes to how she got into her best shape.
Though Meghan vanished from the spotlight over the past few months as she was working on her newly released album, the pop star has recently displayed her notable weight loss on social media.
Trainor recently shared a few snaps of her slim, stylish physique on her official Instagram page, showing off the progress she's made on her successful weight loss journey.
"I wrote the song as a 'Wow, I really wish I felt like this' … now I go out there and I'm like, 'It's all about this bass.' It has helped a lot."
"I ate pizza yesterday and I am eating Chinese food later today. It's gonna be great. But so far people have actually told me I look like I've lost weight. I think it's because I've been standing all day or dancing."
"I work out so hard," Trainor, 23, shared. "I've been working on my health [with] my boyfriend and, yeah, we eat good and we work out, like, every day."
Her waist seems certainly smaller. She has, no doubt, voluptuous legs, but many thin stars who work out also can proclaim the same.
Her face looks thinner and sharper, which is a good thing for her health. But what about all her proclamations that weight doesn't matter?
Perhaps she decided to get healthier, or
What do you think – has she lost weight? What are your feelings about her "bigger is ok" message now that she isn't big anymore?
Sound off in the comments section below!
Meghan Trainor's incredible weight loss has become a source of discussion recently.
The steps she took provide better results and now she has shocked her fans with the sexy and slim figure. She has inspired many of us through her hard work.

On Friday, April 12, Petzl was informed of an accidental fall in a training center in Germany. The injured person was moving at height using a Petzl ZIGZAG mechanical prusik. The first observations have shown that the fall was due to a failure of the rope end attachment hole. After hospitalization, the injured person returned home on April 14. We are deeply concerned and we wish him a very quick recovery.
Current information regarding the accident (as of April 15):
As of today, Petzl has been able to gather the following information:
– photos of the Petzl ZIGZAG and the rope end attachment hole – a preliminary telephone account by the injured person
This information seems to indicate that:
– The upper carabiner may have been cantilevered and cross loaded
– The injured person was descending while performing repeated, sudden stops while using the device in a training center.
Nevertheless, to have a clearer vision of the accident's cause, Petzl is in contact with the injured person to obtain the following missing information and equipment as quickly as possible.
– a description of the complete system used by the injured person
– the ZIGZAG, the two connectors, the rope and any other devices that may have been used.
Technical reminders
– ZIGZAG design:
– The ZIGZAG is CE-certified PPE and designed to resist static loads greater than 15 kN.
– The side plates are constructed with the same materials and adhere to the same side plate requirements as similar products (ID, GRIGRI, RIG).
– Use of connectors:
A carabiner should always be loaded on its major axis. If it is cross-loaded, side-loaded or loaded off axis, it can: – break under low loads (ex: gate breakage at 1 to 2 kN)
– or if cantilevered, it can transmit very high loads (4 to 5 times the applied load)
– Note:
Sudden stopping during a descent could transmit dynamic loads up to 3 to 4 kN. The combination of both incorrectly loaded carabiners and sudden stops could generate dynamic forces greater than 15 kN and exceed the minimum breaking strength of the attachment points of the connected device.
On-going testing
-Taking into account the information that we currently know of this incident, Petzl is now conducting a battery of tests to understand the precise causes of this accident. To date, our preliminary in-house tests do not show this potential failure even under high loads (cross-loaded, side-loaded or loaded off axis) of 10-15 kN. We are continuing different testing scenarios to try to understand the failure.
Follow-up action and Recommendations
– Petzl takes this accident and safety of its users very seriously. We will communicate the final results of our tests and our conclusions on our website by Tuesday, April 23, 2013.
– Until then, you can continue to use your ZIGZAG in accordance with the technical notice, ensuring that the attachment carabiner remains oriented on their major axis.
– As an additional measure of precaution, we recommend that you put in place a connector retaining solution that keeps the connectors oriented on their major axis.
We draw your attention to the following points, which are applicable to all metallic PPE:
– Inspect before use:
– the absence of cracks or fissures
– the absence of product deformation.
– Verify during use that your carabiners are always correctly loaded on their major axis.
– Ensure the compatibility of all components in your system.

Got dog it Bruno Mars!!!!
How is it that you do this to us EVERY.SINGLE.TIME?! I mean like every single time dude?!
There I was minding my own dern business on Thursday and I see the interwebs all in a stir. Being that I was living that grown up 9-5 life, I couldn't step away to go hear this whole Finesse situation that everyone kept chattering about on Twitter. I should have known though because I listened to 24K Magic and heard that some amazeballs remix was eventually happening in the middle of the night with my 2nd favorite ratchet she-ro (only 2nd to the Queen of Ratchet, Rihanna), the one and only Ms. Cardi B.
I also should have known that when I saw the visuals, I would be completely and utterly obsessed – thrusted back into my awkward tweens, where I loved simpler times of Cross-Colors, K-Swiss, oversized Looney Tunes shirts and African pendant necklaces. Oh those were the days of yesteryear when a scrawny, dancing-machine of a little girl could imagine being the 4th member of TLC and lead dancer of The Fly Girls on In Living Color.
So there it was 9-dog-on-PM, on the 4th day of the year when I already had a lot going on. I got onto Facebook only to see that my old dream was still kinda attainable. The hope dealer of my 9-year-old fantasies, real life, turned out to be non other than Bruno-mutha-effin-Mars! Clearly I'm excited and all in a country tizzy about it. I'm sure I'll regret my poor Texas lingo some other time but right now I'm in a celebratory mood…#fortheculture.
He brings us yet another rhythmic tune with catchy lines accompanied by a vibrant visual full of slick moves, beautiful people and 90s fashions to live for. The nostalgia runs thick and it just wraps you up in the richness of 90s urban culture. I know this is going to sound odd, but as a kid who lived through that amazing period in time, I find this video like a beautiful ode to an 80s baby's media filled childhood.
Thank you Bruno for making feel old as dirt and thank you for blessing us with another HOT joint to start this freezing year off right.
Winter hurricane what?! We have heat from Bruno Mars. <3

The beauty of stillness is similar to the beauty of water; it fills the space you create for it. Stillness in nature and in mind allows for reflection that can awe and astonish with its depth.
We had a full day in Grand Tetons National Park today and every minute was filled with beauty and reflections. Stormy skies cast the morning in a mysterious atmosphere of oncoming turbulence, however it proved to only be a threat when blue skies finally prevailed. Even the dark and cloudy skies only served to enhance the beauty of this amazing national park.
Our day was spent hiking between several of Grand Teton's most beautiful lakes including Jenny Lake, String Lake, and Leigh Lake. The deep colors and still waters I witnessed on my eight mile hike took my breath away.
The Tetons were really showing off today with all of their best colors and reflections. It felt like the world had been turned upside-down and I was lost somewhere between where the water began and the earth ascended. You could have flipped the world over and everything would have stayed the same.
The trail we hiked was gorgeous and ran along three different lakes right on the waters edge. It was hard not to stop at every single cove or outlet where the crystal clear water lapped at sandy shores. However, the mosquitos chased us the entire hike and I think I may just be a giant collection of mosquito bites at this point. We were truly being swarmed every single time we stopped and even while we were still moving.
In the end the bug bites were worth it because every single bend in the trail or bridge we crossed offered up the most incredible views I have ever seen.
We also left the lakeside to climb the side of the great mountains and came across fields of wildflowers, winding paths through stunning meadows, and then back down once more to the lakes below.
The final bridge we crossed was both a celebration and a last longing to never leave the foothills of those beautiful mountains.
The Tetons will always have a place in my heart. This gorgeous mountain range offers unending beauty that neither photos nor words can fully capture. I suppose that is the root of the beauty here, it cannot be capture; the freedom of this untamed natural wonderland will never belong to people. Every time I come to a place such as this I am only a visitor, a very blessed human humbled by something so much greater than myself.
I hate to leave but I also know that this place will never leave me. The Grand Tetons will always be one of my favorite national parks and I am so happy to have had the brief and wondrous time in this park once more. Until next time…

The Biotechnology and Nanomedicine Area encompasses competencies in biochemistry, biology, physics, chemistry, material science, physiology, pharmacology, neurology. Translational studies are performed on human specimen, animal and cellular models of disease to elucidate the molecular bases of brain dysfunction involved in the pathophysiology of neurologic diseases and to translate these findings to clinical diagnosis and treatment. Biotechnology is any technological application using biological systems, living organisms or derivatives, to make or modify products or processes. Biotechnology in UNIMIB has its main applications in clinical proteomics, in biosensing and therapy. Nanomedicine, an offspring of biotechnology, is exploiting the use of devices with size in the order of billionths of meters (nanoparticles, nanobiosensors) for therapy and diagnosis of human diseases. Nanomedicine in UNIMIB has its main applications in diagnostics, therapy and tissue regeneration.
- Electrophysiology
Electrophysiology is crucial in the understanding of the electrical functioning of neurons in the central nervous system (CNS). Both, the single cell- and the slice-level approaches on samples coming from normal tissue and from diseased brains are central for the analysis of the pathophysiological mechanisms responsible for diseases and for the development of new specific drugs. The availability of 64- and 256-electrode multi-site recording apparatus (MEA) allows to test nanomedicine tools and pharmacological agents on living neuronal networks. This offers a way to study in vitro the effects on neuronal cell health, neurotransmission and neurodegenerative processes.
- Proteomics
Proteomics is devoted to assess protein pattern in human samples, with the aim to identify molecular markers of disease and to follow the outcome of pharmacological interventions of neurological diseases. Proteomics unit is accustomed with the main proteomics strategies:
- Quantitation by Peptides and Proteome Profiling, either label-free or label-based, using mono and bi-dimensional liquid chromatography-MS/MS;
- Proteome/Peptidome identification and characterization of their modifications (e.g. phosphorylation, glycosilation, etc) by high-throughputshot-gun (bottom-up) and top-down approaches with a nanoLC-ESI-QqTOF and a nanoLC-ESI-ETD-MS/MS.
- Proteome /peptidome profiling by MALDI_TOF and in-situ identification by MALDI-TOF/TOF.
- Structural analysis of amyloid proteins and aggregates
This topic is aiming to assess the molecular mechanisms of amyloid aggregation and disaggregation to design possible therapeutics. Techniques used are Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Circular Dichroism (CD),spectrofluorimetry, Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), Electron Microscopy (EM).
- Electrophysiology
NANOMEDICINE UNIMIB researchers have achieved particularly significant advancements in the applications of nanomedicine for theranostic of the diseases that affect the Central Nervous System (CNS). This approach makes the Athenaeum an outstanding reference Centre in Europe for this particular branch. Relevant results have been achieved thanks to several past an currently running grants devoted to design of nanoparticles (NPs) for treatment and diagnosis of CNS diseases.
- Nanotechnologies for treatment and diagnosis of Alzheimer disease (AD).
As concerning AD, the FP7 project "Nanoparticles for therapy and diagnosis of AD" (NAD), leaded by UNIMIB (coordinator: Prof.Masserini), involved 19 partners from 13 European Countries, published 52 scientific articles on the major journals of nanomedicine, was featured in 2 Editorials, and published 4 Patents.Moreover the project has been awarded amongst the best FP7 projects in 2014.
NAD project was intended to systematically design NPs for AD therapy and diagnosis. The rationale followed for the design of NPs was to provide them with multi-task features, namely the ability: i) to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB), ii) to bind beta-amyloid peptide (Aβ); iii) to disaggregate brain Aβ assemblies into small soluble species, facilitating their clearance from the brain.
During the first part of the project, the Consortium has selected efficient ligands to synthesize multi-functionalized NPs carrying the above said features. Liposomes, polymeric and solid-lipid NPs have been functionalized with ligands for binding Aβ (phosphatidic acid, antibodies, curcumin derivatives) and for crossing the BBB (peptides derived from ApoE and from HIV, anti-Transferrin receptor antibodies). The effectiveness of NPs has subsequently been fine-tuned in vitro on a number of artificial and cellular models, always caring for their biocompatibility and physical stability features. All the in vitro experiments helped the Consortium to keep to a minimum the use of animals, although the effectiveness of NPs had to be eventually evaluated in rodent models of AD.
Finally, as a proof of the correctness of NPs design, after a relatively short treatment (about 1 month), NPs injected in transgenic mouse models of AD showed the ability to reduce brain Aβ burden, either plaques or oligomeric aggregates, considered to be the most neurotoxic form. Noteworthy, besides these effects, the treatment with NPs was shown to ameliorate animal impaired memory.
In conclusion, NAD Consortium has designed and produced multitask therapeutic nano-devices that are encouraging candidates for the therapy of Alzheimer's disease.
- Nanotechnology for CNS tumours.
NPs can be used to target selective cancer cells resulting in the localization of the therapeutic activity or diagnostic probes. This sector is dedicated to the development of :
- novel hybrid nanoparticles consisting of a magnetic core, useful as MRI contrast agent, and an organic shell responsible for the targeting action. The activities include:NPs synthesis, characterization and functionalization with biomolecules; in vitro studies on cellular models (cells viability and internalization) and/or on tumor bearing mice.
- gold NPs, both uniform-spherical and anisotropic or in-homogenous, can act as highly localized thermal loaders for direct hypethermia (possibly of tumors) and for indirect temperature assisted chemotherapy. Gold nanoparticle based devices have been used to reach highly sensitive biosensing of tumor markers and to develop constructs for temperature triggered drug release and extremely localized hyperthermic treatments. These can be used for direct hypethermia and for temperature enhanced chemotherapy.
- Nanotoxicity.
The range of different types of nanoparticles and their biomedical applications is rapidly growing, creating a need to thoroughly examine the effects these particles have on biological entities. Moreover, industrial end environmental nanoparticles may enter the body and reach the CNS. For the correct evaluation of cell function and behavior in vivo, any effects of the nanoparticles on the cells in vitro must be completely ruled out.The assays must focus on (i) nanoparticle internalization, (ii) immediate cell toxicity, (iii) cell proliferation, (iv) cell morphology, (v) cell functionality and (vi) cell physiology.
- Nanoparticles to contrast amyloid toxic effects.
The researchers are designing Nanoparticles (NP) engineered to sequester A in plasma. The results achieved until now allow its sequestration when it is present at high concentrations (e.g. exogenous Aβ added). In plasma from patients with natural overexpression of A(Down Syndrome patients) or in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), multitasks NPs comes from NAD project are able to sequester 10% of total Aβ.
Moreover, we have designed liposomes able to restore cell energetic activity in cultured fibroblasts after significant reduction of viability induced by exposure to Aβ. NPs are able to modify cell signalling pathways, preventing the toxicity induced by oligomeric Aβ, and to modulate the glutamate transport in an in vitro and ex-vivo cellular models of AD.
- Tissue engineering.
Glycans participate in neural cell migration, neurite outgrowth and synapse formation in both the developing and adult nervous system. Understanding their functions would improve the knowledge in the mechanisms that determine nervous system differentiation and regeneration and could lead to the use of glycans as therapeutic strategies for neurological disorders. For this reason we are studying the effects of native and glycosylated collagen (glc-collagen) on neuronal differentiation.
In order to assess the effect of the "neoglycosylation" reaction on collagen structure, molecular dynamics simulations, AFM, water contact angle and FTIR have been performed. We used a neuroblastoma, dorsal root ganglion-derived cell line (F11). Sodium current densities showed the tendency to increase from petri dishes to collagen and to glc-collagen and significantly higher potassium current densities were calculated for cells plated on glc-collagen. Mean resting membrane potential was very depolarized in cells from the petri dishes but showed a trend to hyperpolarize in cells plated on collagen and was significantly more negative on glc-collagen. In petri dishes, the majority of the cells showed slow depolarisations which were not able to reach 0 mV, on the contrary, the fraction of cells able to generate action potentials was significantly higher on collagen and reached almost the totality on glc-collagen. Our data show for the first time F11 cells differentiated without the use of chemical and differentiating agents and suggest that glc-collagen is an efficient material to be employed for neuronal differentiation..

Sarah Wollaston | @sarahwollaston
We asked former Conservative MP and current candidate for Totness, Sarah Wollaston, why she will be voting on 8 June.
Why vote?
Because voting makes a difference. Writing to or meeting the people standing for election to let them know what matters to you also helps to influence future policies.
What will you be voting for?
I'm standing for Parliament but I also have a vote. This really matters to me as I know that so many women fought for the right for us to have the vote and to be represented in Parliament.
Who would be your fantasy MP and why?
I want to see more women who have no traditional background or track record in politics put themselves forward as candidates and to bring as much diversity of experience into Parliament as possible. I don't have a 'fantasy' MP, we need real people & greater representation of women in all roles across local and national government.
This project was made possible by the lovely people at Orca.

Straight from Young Boba Fett, your questions are answered, care of The Boba Fett Fan Club. Daniel Logan answers to all the speculation surrounding Revenge of the Sith and even the recent news from the George Lucas AFI Gala about the Star Wars TV show.
Mike McGann, Southwick, USA: Are you in Episode 3 Revenge of the Sith?
|Hopefully this will not spoil it for anyone, but no I am not in Episode III. As much as I would like to have been, Boba took some time off during this Episode.
John, New Orleans, USA: Are you in any of the cut scenes from the movie
|No. I did not do any filming for Episode III.
Are you going to have anything to do with the new Star Wars television series, which is supposed to take place after Revenge of the Sith?
|I currently have nothing to do with the new TV series. However, I would love to be involved with it, so I will keep my fingers crossed!
I was down for Star Wars celebration in Orlando Florida Where you gave me an autograph on my T-shirt of you from Episode 2 and picture of you. How were you feeling? Someone told that you were sick. I can't thank you enough for letting me get to meet you — those 2 minutes made my whole vacation.
|Thank you very much. I would also like to say thanks to you and all the other wonderful people who attended the Disney Star Wars Weekend. I always have a great time in Orlando and hope I am invited back in the future. I had a bit of the stomach flu on the Sunday of the event this year. I was not in top form, but made it through the day. Once again, thanks for attending and thanks to all the great cast members at Disney for helping out over the weekends.
Shawn, Magalia, CA, USA: Hey, Happy b-day! Did you enjoy playing Boba?
|Thanks, I am now 18! I loved playing Boba Fett. It is a memory I will cherish for the rest of my life. I am honored and proud to be a part, however small, in the Star Wars saga.
What was it like to work with Temuera Morrison?
|Working with Tem was great. He was always helpful and nice to me and my family. I actually admired his work even before I knew I was going to work with him. I watched him in a film called â€Â?"Once Were Warriors.†He plays a bad man in that film, but I admired his acting abilities in it. I was a bit nervous to meet him at first, but he made it easy for me and we have gotten along ever since. In fact, I am going on a tour of Japan with Tem later this month (June 2005). I am looking forward to it!
Chrys, USA: Have you ever considered auditioning for one of the Harry Potter movies?
|I would love to be in a Harry Potter film! I know many of the cast and consider them good friends. I have to admit, I have been on the sets of Harry Potter many times and dreamt what it would be like to put on the Hogwarts robes and be a part of it. If the roll comes up where they need a New Zealand exchange student, I will be there, first in line at the auditions!
Cecilia, Arizona, USA: When you were making Attack of the Clones, did you ever not get along with the other cast members?
|I actually got along with all the cast and crew. Everyone on set was like an extended family. We had breakfast and lunch together everyday. I have nothing but fond memories and am glad to say that everyone was great.
When you were filming, did you ever really "feel" like Boba? Its hard to put it into words, but what I mean is, did you feel like you were becoming Boba when you played him, in a way?
|Having Jango & Boba's apartment and Slave I set was a big help in getting into the spirit of Boba. Also, a big help was Temuera Morrison. Him walking around in the armor, helmet and jet pack gave me inspiration.
When you watched Attack of the Clones, did you ever feel embaressed whenever you saw yourself? Or if you were to watch it today, would you blush and think "Oh jeeze, thats me!"
|I do not now nor have I ever felt embarrassed about watching myself in the film. Obviously, since I was only 13 when I filmed and I am now 18, I look a bit different. In saying that, it is a bit funny to see myself and how much I have changed.
Have you ever seen fanart people have done of young Boba, and if so, how does it feel to know people draw you?
|As a matter of fact I have seen many fan art of young Boba. I have seen drawings, paintings, CGI images and even sculptures. They range from professional artists to young children. I appreciate and enjoy all of them.
Landry Boissy: This isn't so much a question, as it is more of a comment. We went to the Star Wars Weekend at MGM studios, and were quite pleased with Daniel Logan's personality and generosity of attention he gave to his fans. Florida is very hot and it can get pretty tiring, I am sure, signing all day long, but he never rushed anyone thru and spent a great deal of time pleasing his fans. Thanks Daniel, for being a true celebrity in our eyes.
|I am blushing now. Thanks for the wonderful comments. As I said in a previous question about the Star Wars weekends, I always have a great time and love to meet all the people who also have to deal with the heat.
|Thank you to everyone who asked a question and has read through my answers. Until next time, take care.
Daniel Logan
Want to ask Daniel Logan a question to be in the running for publishing here at The Boba Fett Fan Club web site? Ask a question and we'll select a handful of questions each month to get to Daniel.

Oregon lawmakers consider legislation designed to crack down on slick sports agents. Jeff Hawkins with the University of Oregon's Football Administration says a bill in the legislature would require an agent to notify a school if they meet with an athlete. It would also cement rules stating an athlete can't accept benefits or make an oral or written agreement for future representation. Bill Clever, also with U of O says, it would also allow the Department of Justice to enforce the rules, adding Senate Bill 5 would clearly prevent agents from giving athletes gift benefits and allows the schools to better educate students on the rules related to athletic representation. Senate President Peter Courtney supports the Bill, saying there are too many agents that prey on student athletes, forcing them into unfair agreements and setting the schools up for possible NCAA rule violations.

introducing "k"
Here's our new friend "k." We are having a really wonderful time getting to know him. He is teaching us so much about China, its geography, its people, its food, and even its language. Every evening he teaches us a few new words. Last night we even started with phrases!
K teaches math (or as the English say, maths) and this year is teaching physics too. He is about 31 (as best as I can figure).
I cannot tell you how happy I am that we built that wall!
And don't be surprised to learn that I want to do this again and again and again . . .

RockTape is not just a tape company; it's a movement company. Exceptional lines of kinesiology tape, topical pain relief products, mobility equipment and protective gear help athletes and patients all over the world move better whether to elevate athletic performance or improve everyday quality of life.
What makes RockTape different?
RockTape is stretchier than even the stretchiest competition with 180% elasticity compared to a more typical 130-150%. This allows the wearer, whether a world-class athlete or an arthritis sufferer, better range of motion and freedom from feeling bound. RockTape is sticky and can be worn for days so its benefits last long after a patient leaves your office. Its adhesive is hypo-allergenic, acrylic-based and not make with natural rubber latex.
RockTape is effective for:
- Achilles tendonitis
- Plantar fasciitis
- Jumpers knee (PFS)
- ACL/MCL issues
- Rotator cuff
- Groin and hamstring pulls
- Lower back issues
- Shin splints
- Tennis and golf elbow
- Pain associated with pregnancy
- Postural correction
- Skin abrasion protection
- And more!
RockSauce Fire
When your patients need serious pain relief, spread on some RockSauce Fire. With capsaicin levels too high to export to some countries, RockSauce Fire provides intense heating sensations that last for hours. It can also be used with RockTape (without compromising stickiness), as a Graston, A.R.T. or IASTM lubricant, or pre-workout.
RockSauce Ice
When a patient is injured, skip the ice and offer RockSauce Ice for satisfying pain relief that doesn't irritate the skin. Made from 6% menthol and other active ingredients, RockSauce Ice provides a powerful cooling sensation that freezes pain fast and lasts for hours.
RockTape manufactures two precision-engineered soft tissue instruments for IASTM. Having carefully refined their design over the course of two years, these high-quality tools are just what you would expect from the movement experts at RockTape.
When your patients need relief in places a roller just won't reach, count on RockBalls. Sold as a pair, these balls offer satisfying myofascial release and reach trigger points with pinpoint accuracy.

Ever dreamed of owning a Function Factory? Unfortunately this one might not make money, but it does make functions.
The reason you might use something like this is if you are required to make a late-bound call to a specific method on an object at runtime. Of course there are various reasons and ways for doing this, the most common being via Reflection and MethodBase.Invoke().
Some projects acknowledge that fast late-bound calls are an integral part of their functionality and opt for writing DynamicMethods which invoke churning out some custom IL at runtime. Although this would probably be the most optimal way of achieving this, it is also the most complex.
A few months ago when I was writing a control for ASP.NET which was able to make decisions on how it rendered based on calling a method on the base page. The method was developer configurable via a string property that matched a certain signature (I may write about this control later, lets just say its similar to the DeviceSpecific control). I couldn't stop thinking about an article I'd found here which suggests some good benefits can be gained by using compiled Lambda expressions.
So an example of using Function Factory might look like this:
var func = FunctionFactory.CreateFunc<Func<bool>>(Page, "funcName");
//Then calling the function becomes:
bool result = func();
What we have as a result is a compiled Func<> that executes the method on our desired object. The code required to build the function is not all that complicated (at least when considering IL) and can be reused by passing in different function names and Func<> definitions.
Here is CreateFunc():
/// <summary>
/// Creates a compiled delegate function for the specified type and method name
/// </summary>
/// <typeparam name="TFunc">Delegate Func to create</typeparam>
/// <param name="obj">Constant to get method from</param>
/// <param name="methodName">Method to examine</param>
/// <returns>Delegate function of the specified methodname</returns>
public static TFunc CreateFunc<TFunc>(object obj, string methodName)
List<ParameterExpression> args = new List<ParameterExpression>();
Type targetType = obj.GetType();
MethodInfo minfo = targetType.GetMethod(methodName, BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.Public);
if (minfo != null)
var target = Expression.Constant(obj);
foreach (var arg in minfo.GetParameters())
args.Add(Expression.Parameter(arg.ParameterType, arg.Name));
var methodinvokeExpression = Expression.Call(target, minfo, args.ToArray());
var lambda = Expression.Lambda<TFunc>(methodinvokeExpression, args.ToArray());
//now the following Lambda is created:
// (TArg1, TArg2) => obj.MethodName(TArg1, TArg2);
return lambda.Compile();
return default(TFunc);
For some reason I didn't stop there either, what about the case where the function you are executing is on a type whos instance hasn't been created yet, or might change every time you need to execute the function? Well, thats not too difficult either as we can create a Func that even accepts the instance that owns the function to be executed:
var functionToCall = "Insert";
var insertFunc = FunctionFactory.CreateFunc<Func<string, int, string, string>>(typeof(string), functionToCall);
string myString = "abcdef";
var result = insertFunc(myString, 1, "zz");
//result = azzbcdef
So here "insertFunc" is a compiled function call for the "Insert" method on a given string. Of course at times, those Func<> definitions can get a little unwieldly to look at, this is where I like using the 'using' alias:
using InsertFunc = Func<string, int, string, string>;
Which allows you to specify more simply:
var insertFunc = FunctionFactory.CreateFunc<InsertFunc>(typeof(string), functionToCall);
If nothing else its been a fun little experiment, which could potentially yield a big benefit if need to do multiple late-bound calls and are not all up to date on your IL emitting.

What are Global variables in SQL Server and how to create them?
In SQL Server, there is NO concept of Global variables. In the initial versions of SQL Server, the System defined functions which begin with '@@' are referred as Global variables. But their actual behavior is not same as variables in SQL Server. We can't create them.
SQL Server supports only local variables which can be created by using DECLARE keyword. Most of the people are still in a misconception that the names in SQL Server which start with '@@' are known as Global variables. But, they are not actual Global variables. They are SQL server System defined functions. As a database folk, we always think that all the System/User defined functions contains parenthesis '()' at the end of its name. This is 100% correct for User defined functions. But this is not going to happen every time in the context of System defined functions.
Most of the System defined functions are always postfix with parenthesis. But few functions like @@Error, @@ROWCOUNT etc… always prefix with @@ and does not postfix with parenthesis. The alternative solution for this is creating a Global temporary table which returns a single record and can be accessed by everyone who is working on the same server.

I Love Knitalongs
Yesterday I was thinking about how much knit blogging has changed over the years. When I first started, knitting blogs were around every corner on the internet. If you were thinking about making a certain new scarf/sweater/sock pattern from Knitty, you could find bloggers making it. Now you look on Ravelry for that. And most of the knit bloggers have faded away into the ether. I spent last night looking for knitting blogs that are still active. Most of the ones I used to read are gone. Either defunct or changed into something else. Earlier this year I asked myself if I should make the 'goodbye' post that I've seen on a lot of blogs in the past few years. However, I love blogging even though I don't do it much. I've always wanted to be one of those people who could find something to say every day. I've decided to try to have something to say 4 or 5 times a week. We'll see how this goes.
Today I am showing you my orange sock project:
I worked on these a bit yesterday. This is the second sock. I wear socks like these quite a bit, so I thought I'd give this pattern a try last summer. I don't actually have enough of the orange yarn to finish them, so I will will be finishing with some leftover yarn from the red scarf I made last year.
I am now just a row or two away from the decreases on my lopi sweater. Very exciting stuff. I decided to join a 13 sweater knitalong for 2013. I think I can count this one. One of the knitalongs I am going to attempt to do lets you count things you are currently working on. It could be the sock one, though. I am pretty sure I could knit 13 sweaters in a year. I have knit a lot of sweaters in my life. And my kids could use some. I also decided to go for it and join a shawl knitalong. It is called 12 Shawls Forever. I don't think I could knit 12 small shawls in a year, but I could knit several. And I love shawls. They are perfect for keeping cozy and warm. Plus they are beautiful. Not sure what my first up will be since I can't count the Stephen West one I started a year and a half ago. I still have to finish a couple projects before I can start on a shawl for the knitalong. Gives me a reason to get that knitting mojo going, though! The knitalongs I've decided to try to do are all Ravelry groups and are linked in the side bar under 'Things I'm Doing'.
I hope everyone out there has a happy and safe New Year!

IT Cosmetics Anti-Aging Armour Beauty Fluid + SPF
Since moving to Bali, I've turned into quite the beach bum. Not your typical beach bum though. I'm always hiding in the shade, covered in sunscreen, probably reading a book. Except for when I'm swimming in the water trying to cool off (or relieve my bladder). Either way I'm always trying to protect my face from the sun- that's why I use IT Cosmetics Anti-Aging Armour.
When I don't properly protect my face, my face let's me know. My melasma starts popping up under my eyes and on my upper lip. With this stuff, nothing. And that's how I know it's working and working well.
This stuff is fast, multitasking skincare and makeup. It's every girl's lazy morning dream, one step for moisturizer, anti-aging serum, sunscreen and foundation. And it's actually good at each one!
Bonus: it's recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation for daily use
I have to warn you that this stuff isn't going to be a full coverage foundation however when I need a little more coverage I just dab on a bit of the IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Under Eye in the areas I need it and it works like a charm. Or you could use it as a blurring primer under your normal foundation.
IT Cosmetics Anti-Aging Armou– $38
The best part about IT Cosmetics is that each makeup product also contains skincare beneficial ingredients. The Anti-Aging Armour Beauty Fluid has peptides, collagen and Hyaluronic Acid which I wrote about in my blog post 5 Miracle Ingredients You Should Be Using.
Let me know if you decide to give the IT Cosmetics Anti-Aging Armour a try and let me know what you think. I got mine at Sephora but you can also go directly through the IT Cosmetics site and get free shipping on orders of $25+ (plus you get free samples!!)

Signature Selections from the Course Catalog
Every day at Sage, professors and students ask big questions and then read widely, write intensely and collaborate zealously as they pursue sometimes-elusive answers. This series highlights some of the classes that are inspiring MORE on campus.
This spring, Director of Diversity and Inclusion David Green, Ph.D., is teaching Beyoncé, Rihanna and Nicki Minaj: Performing Black Feminism. The three-credit Humanities elective offered on the Russell Sage College campus filled up almost right away.
"The course title catches students' attention," said Dr. Green, "but the idea that you can talk in an academic setting about who students know and listen to is really interesting to them." The course includes readings from Patricia Hill Collins' Black Feminist Thought and discussions about what the students understand about these artists; whether or not the students consider the artists to be feminists; and the tension between black feminism and mainstream feminism, which doesn't always take into account how race, gender, economics and other factors impact a person's experience of equality. "By the end of the semester, students will be able to articulate a short history of black women performers and how they have reimagined performance and politics of race, gender and liberation."
"Literature, history, culture studies and critical theory comingle in my classes in ways that are fraught and powerful," continued Dr. Green, describing how Performing Black Feminism grew out of a class looking at gender and sexuality through pop diva artists that he taught as a lecturer in Women's and Gender Studies at his previous institution. "My students said 'I had no idea I could learn about gender and sexuality from these artists,'" said Dr. Green.
Dr. Green joined Sage in 2016. He develops and implements programs that support diversity and inclusion at Sage, and teaches interdisciplinary classes. "Part of my job is to talk to everybody," he said. "I always ask students what they would like to see here at Sage. Students ask for more Black Studies courses. Whenever I'm talking with a student or students about academic life here at Sage I usually ask: if you could add a Black Studies course, what would it be?" In addition to Performing Black Feminism, Dr. Green taught Black Power and Civil Rights at Sage College of Albany in 2017. He is proposing a Black Psychology class and an Intro to LGBTQ Studies class for the future. "My big goal is to make sure students on both campuses feel the ethos of inclusion on both campuses," he said.

Online Class Development
Below are links to four of the online classes I developed: (1) A Unit for Middle School Students, (2) An Online College Course for Pre-Service and In-Service Teachers, (3) Foundations of Education: An Online College Course for Pre-Service and In-Service Teachers, and (4) a Hybrid (online and on-campus) Unit for Gifted Middle School and High School. I only included the instructional activities (not the grading and logistical functions). As these are meant as demonstrations, I also "opened" the entire class rather than posting it module by module as I would typically do in a regular class.
The Underground Railroad: An Online Class for Middle School Students
This unit introduces you to the Underground Railroad. There are many powerful messages to be learned from the study of the Underground Railroad. For example, the Underground Railroad demonstrates how regardless of the risks involved, people were willing to risk their lives in order to save others. You'll learn about the dangers that escaping slaves faced and the things the methods used (e.g. songs and quilts) to help them find their way.
Pedagogy and Learning:
An Online Teacher Preparation Course Demonstration
Login as Guest
This course asks pre-service and in-service teachers to examine the teaching and learning process and all of the facets that influence this process. Trainees explore how learning occurs—how students construct knowledge, acquire skills, and develop habits of mind and will apply instructional strategies that promote student learning. Trainees critically examine research-based methods and theories that enable teachers to become effective practitioners. Brain-based learning, multi-sensory instruction, developmentally appropriate practice, multiple intelligences, and learning styles are explored.
Foundations of Education:
An Online Teacher Preparation Course Demonstration
Login as Guest
This course introduces you to the basics of the teaching profession. It includes societal expectations of teachers, social problems which impact students, essential knowledge needed for teaching, recent reforms in education, historical perspectives on education, and the role of schools in today's society. You will explore your role as a critically reflective teacher and change agent in diverse educational settings as they engage in an ongoing commitment to the development and practice of self-directed reflection and leadership. Emphasis will be placed on defining how personal experiences as learners impact the choices teachers make and influence their teaching methodology, curricular decisions, development of the learning environment and their interactions with students.
Envisioning a More Perfect Future: A Hybrid Course for Gifted Middle and High School
This is a unit on envisioning a better future for you, for your peers, for your family – for the rest of the world. We are living in a global society and this unit will provide you with the opportunity to design your own perfect world. You will establish the habits, practices, and organizing social structures that citizens will follow in your utopian society – in your perfect world. In order to do so, you will research and study fictionalized dystopias, real-life utopias, and influential historical visionaries. You will create documents and artifacts for your utopia such as a Bill of Rights, Government Structure, Motto and Seal, Plan for the Outdoor Space, Totem Pole, Ceremonial Mask, Advertisement, and/or other projects you might propose.

Test your mettle against fellow Quick Base builders at our third annual Pre-Conference Quick Base App-a-Thon. Last year we had over 20 rival teams vying for top honors and this year we hope to break that record for another fun and fierce day of competitive app building.
A few weeks before the App-a-thon, we'll be reaching out to form teams (if you register on your own) and provide some tips on how you can get in tip-top app building shape.
At 8:00 AM on Monday June 4th, we'll unveil the challenge. Teams will have just six hours to bring their apps to life. Judging will begin at 3:30 pm, and each team will demo their app, trade show style, as judges make their way around the room. Three teams will be selected to go to the final round and demo their apps in the Exhibit Hall during the Tuesday evening networking event.
The winning team will walk away with a $5000 cash price, 2nd place will receive $3000 and 3rd place will get $2000.
This is a great opportunity to meet other Quick Base enthusiasts and learn new skills.
The App-a-thon is geared towards intermediate and advanced app builders. There is no cost to compete, but EMPOWER2018 registration is required and you must be registered for the App-a-thon. Space is limited to if you are ready for the challenge, sign up today!
