For us, the pursuit of social justice is about rights, not charity; working in solidarity with communities, not for them.What key skills will you learn in the Community Worker program?Throughout the program, students will have the opportunity to develop a variety of important and high-demand skills, including:anti-oppressive and intercultural practice in working with diverse populations (including youth, immigrant communities, Indigenous populations)critical analysis, research and writinggroup facilitation and leadershipindividual and group counsellingconflict mediation and restorative justicecommunity organizing, activism and advocacycommunity development, project design and proposal writingpolicy analysis and rights-based advocacyHow is the Community Worker program structured?The program combines classroom instruction with two supervised field placements. Theory, analysis and practice are presented through a variety of innovative instructional tools developed from popular education and learner-centred approaches to teaching and learning. Highly participative classes of dialogue, debate, interactive lectures, guest panels, and group activities provide students with a program of study that is current, exciting and critically engaging.Program courses are organized into four core areas:community work theory and practicesocial and political analysisgroup skills and counsellingfield placement and seminarWho are the faculty who teach the Community Worker program?Our faculty of experienced educators bring their passion for education and change to create a highly engaging and dynamic learning environment. Coming from backgrounds in local, national and global activism, they remain active on social issues and maintain close ties to communities, activists and organizations.Who are the Community Worker students?From mature students to high school graduates, from newcomers to those hoping for a career change, our diverse and committed student-body is a core strength of our program.If you are passionate about human rights and social justice, committed to working with diverse communities, bring a mature and professional approach to your education and fieldwork, and are prepared to take on a course load of 20+hrs/week, this program is for you.In preparation for the field placement, students will be required to work in multiple small and large groups within classes and community settings.Already have a diploma or a degree? Visit the Community Worker (Fast-Track) program page to see if you are eligible. Part Time Study Options This program does not currently offer a part-time study option. Experiential Learning Field Placement Your Field Study options Students will develop relationships with our community partners through field placements, and in their classrooms through networking events, weekly guest panels. Program option courses are often taught by practitioners currently working in the field (i.e. Community Legal Issues, Urban Aboriginal Peoples' Perspectives in Housing and Homelessness, etc.).What types of field placements can you expect in the Community Worker program?Students will have the opportunity to develop practical skills and gain valuable work experience by completing two supervised placements (totalling 600 hours): a 200-hour placement in Semester 2 and a 400-hour placement over Semesters 3 and 4.Through our strong ties to over 350 field agencies and advocacy organizations across the GTA, students can find placements suited to their specific interests (e.g. neighbourhood hubs, international agencies, community food centres) and on a wide range of issues such as poverty, settlement services, housing, food justice, education, HIV/AIDS and anti-violence.Note: Some of our student placement partners require students in this program to have a police reference check completed before their field placement. These reference checks, which can take up to four months, are done to protect the clientele of these agencies, who are considered "vulnerable persons" under the law. The fees for the reference checks vary and must be paid by the student. Students are responsible for ensuring that the check covers appropriateness for "individuals being employed and/or volunteering who will be working with vulnerable person(s)." Students without a clear police reference check may find that their choice of placements is limited. Program Standards and Learning Outcomes The graduate has reliably demonstrated the ability to:Establish constructive relationships with individuals concerned with community work.Describe their personal values and motivation as a community worker.Serve in a variety of grassroots community organizations especially in the areas of co-operatives, seniors and community legal services.Be comfortable in community work roles ranging from direct service to classical advocacy and organizing.Understand and articulate the special needs of multicultural groups.Analyze social inequalities and demonstrate creativity in the organization of new services and institutions to meet community needs.Work with groups to identify their own needs.Access existing services and community resources.

Disability Registration Success Stories Amina Hagar (Graduate 2019, Community Worker) "My time in the Community Worker program has been invaluable, especially the practical experience I gained during my placement. The professors in the program also pushed me to expand my critical skills by creating meaningful dialogue and acknowledging lived experiences. The skills I gained from the program will stay with me as I go into the field and pursue higher education." Jorge Cordero (Graduate 2018, Community Worker) "The Community Worker program was a truly eye-opening experience which allowed me to define what my real passions are. Be it during the placements, the classes or the readings, each one assisted me to better understand the complexities of the state of society. The field placements allowed me to apply my classroom learning and were very beneficial for my current career goals. I would definitely recommend this program to anyone seeking a new career or wishing to enter the social services through an advocacy and social justice lens." Natalie Illanes Nogueira (Graduate 2015, Community Worker)"The Community Worker program taught me how to succeed in the field with critical thinking skills, human rights and anti-oppressive based frameworks. The program prepared me for the challenges and joys of working in the field. Wherever I go, I am praised for studying in the Community Worker program. My workplace has more Community Workers from George Brown than anywhere else!"Michael Waglay (Graduate 2014, Community Worker)"If you are interested in working with communities to make society better, then this program is for you. Experienced professors will give you the tools and support you need to effectively advocate for change. Going to the Community Worker program played a major role in getting my first full-time position in the field straight out of school."Emily Green (Graduate 2013, Community Worker)"This program offers an excellent balance between practical skill building, and the development of theoretical analysis. While you will become accredited to work in the social service work field, you will also develop a more critical understanding of society. I feel more able to articulate the injustices that I see in the world around me, and more prepared to participate in strategies toward social change."

Honourable John Horgan Premier of Executive Council
Honourable Adrian Dix
OPEN LETTER: Call for the Halting of Site C Construction Due to the COVID-19 Outbreak
Dear Premier Horgan and Minister Dix:
We are writing to request that immediate action be taken to compel BC Hydro to halt all construction at Site C Dam due to the risk COVID-19 now poses to vulnerable workers and nearby Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities in northeast B.C.
Through UBCIC Resolution 2011-25, UBCIC highlighted the environmental dangers of the Site C Dam and pointed to the devastating effects it will have on the Treaty and Aboriginal Rights of Treaty 8 First Nations. UBCIC now calls upon the Province to recognize that the transmission of COVID-19 amongst workers is an urgent and pressing concern. BC Hydro has confirmed that 16 of its construction workers at the Site C Dam site are under self-isolation with flu like symptoms. Given the close quarters and inevitable contact points at the 1,600-worker camp, an outbreak of COVID-19 would be disastrous and with dire implications for nearby communities, including First Nation communities. We are informed that there is an extreme shortage of health services in northeast British Columbia, with virtually no hospital beds available to handle an outbreak in Fort St. John or nearby Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities.

Writing a Children's Picture BookWrite a children's picture book
So how do you spell the perfect picture book of Sarah Webb?
The writing of picture-book works is called "haiku for aliens". It' definitely nearer to writing poems than anything. Lots of folks think, "Hey, I could make a picture book. Untitled'histoire d'un ours en peluche ou d'un lapin qui parle, demandez à mon pote de faire des dessins et du bingo !
Textbooks are the most difficult of all. Each and every line must advance history. Which is a picture book? Bilderbuch is a picture book for small kids aged 18 month to about 5 or 6 years (or 44 - I like picture books!).
On each page there are mostly coloured images and the stories are narrated both through the words and through the images. In contrast to stories for older kids, picture-book reading continues. You have to address not only kids but also grown-ups - educators, libraries, parents.
What is the length of a picture book? Obviously, if you are the next Shaun Tan or Lauren Child, a publishers can make an exception. No. There are 32 pages in the typical picture book - number them. Again, if you are Oliver Jeffers, you can get away with a longer or short history, but if it is your first book, it is best to abide by the standard.
No, no. Publishing houses have a lot of great illustrated work. You are looking for powerful, inventive picture book text. I' d suggest you start with your own infancy - because that's what your history will do differently. Were there any favorite places you liked as a kid? Don't be scared of intense emotions in your lyrics - Oliver Jeffers' The Heart and the Bottles is about solitude and toil. The Heart and the Bottles is about heart and toil.
Rewrite or rewrite on any of the following topics: Remember heat, humor, family, charity and general topics.

When we launched Amadeus Rail Display a few years ago, our objective was clear: to make booking rail easier for travel agencies, not only for their national operators but for any railway in any country. By this, we also mean with a single and simple flow for all available railways and with an advanced integration into the travel agencies' tools and processes. Keep reading to discover the new features of Amadeus Rail Display!
We are constantly working on improving the product and adding more functionalities. Last month, we launched the latest one: the selling of rail cards for SNCF, which means that on top of train tickets, travel agents can also sell SNCF cards following the same intuitive graphical flow. This new feature will not only provide another sales channel for railways but will also allow travel agencies to increase their revenues by assuring more sales and to improve their customer loyalty by offering a new service. For now, the following SNCF cards are available for sale:
We have also added new SNCF fares with the addition of "Tarif Congrés'' and "Agence de Voyages'', allowing travel agencies to target additional customers.
Also, it is now very easy for a travel agent to add, reprice and cancel segments of a journey before ticketing within the same SNCF "Dossier Voyage". This reduces the processing work and eases the booking and management of multiple segments.
We have also added new functionalities to the Swedish rail flow, such as the possibility to immediately distribute SMS tickets to passengers and an improved way to book Swedish rail coach assignment.
This latest development comes after the addition of exchange and void for SNCF reservations and is fully integrated into Rail Display. Aftersales is as easy as a pie, with only a couple of clicks required to void or exchange a ticket. In the case of ticket exchange, the system will re-book, re-calculate the fare and re-issue the ticket with almost no effort from the user side!
Last but not least, did you know that Amadeus Rail Display is also available in Amadeus Selling Platform Connect, the new generation of the Amadeus Selling Platform and the industry's first fully online professional booking platform? We'll share more details about this in another post.
In marketing, we often say that content is king, and this is very similar in the GDS / travel agency world. "Content" refers to what you can sell: flights, hotels, insurance and of course trains. We are quite proud to say that we have already integrated or are in the process of integrating all major European rail operators in Rail Display: SNCF, Deutsche Bahn, Eurostar, Trenitalia, SJ, MTR Express, Renfe, Thalys, TGV Lyria, Thello… and there is more to come. The tool can be considered as the number 1 railway reservation software.
For all these railways, we are not just plugging into their inventory systems, we truly integrate them into the travel agency ecosystem. We make bridges and connections for a very advanced integration into travel agencies' tools and processes such as customer profiles, PNR, mid and back office feeds. All of this makes booking rail tickets a lot easier, faster and more efficient for the user.
In addition, we simplify the booking flow with 3 simple steps, the same ones for all available railways: whether in Spain or in Switzerland, whether for a DB ticket or an SNCF ticket, the flow is the same. With real-time availability and fare comparison in a graphical interface, booking rail becomes really easy and efficient – reducing booking times by over a half! Learn how Amadeus Rail Display revolutionised rail booking at Key Travel.
Rail Display sets the ground in preparation for the opening of the passenger rail market, with a simple and unified way to book multiple railways in any country. At Amadeus Rail, we are very proud to be developing such an innovative tool. We will continue working on new enhancements and the integration of new railways in the coming months. This is essential for us in delivering our vision to simplify the reservation of rail tickets for travel agents, in turn increasing rail tickets sales and railways' visibility.

A Short Chat with UTS Careers' Wonder Women: The Business Development Team
In the spirit of International Women's Day, and to celebrate UTS being recognized as Employer of Choice for Gender by the Workplace Gender Equality Agency (WGEA), we sat down with (and when we say 'sat down with' we mean chased around campus) our very busy, all female Business Development Team: Kat, Dom, Cerys, Chandani, and Kaye.
The Business Developoment Team work with industry to get more opportunities for you on campus and more jobs for you on CareerHub. They're the key to getting industry on campus and connecting with UTS students.
So what do you do when you're surrounded by powerhouse women? You ask them for advice, and then you share it!
Let's dive right in: which women do you look up to?
Dom: My Mum! And my old bosses, I have learnt so much from all the female bosses I have had. The women I have worked with have encouraged me and helped to get me where I am today. Oh, and Serena Williams, she is just fabulous!
Kaye: (Agreeing with Dom) Yes, she is just ballsy!
Chandani: Definitely my Mum, she is my best friend and my inspiration. Also I have a big crush on a Bollywood actress, Deepika Padukone, I love her personality and she's a very talented actress.
Kat: Jacinta Ardern, and I'd say my sister.
What career advice would you give your 18-year-old self?
Dom: Basically don't worry, you're going to make mistakes so don't sweat the small stuff. Don't spend your twenties worrying.
Kaye: It's ok to change paths. Do what you want to do, not what you think you should do.
Cerys: I wish I travelled earlier than I did. Don't always be a 'yes' person – boundaries are okay.
Chandani: Grab any opportunity come along your way. It's okay to start with any retail jobs.
What skills do you feel really helped you get to where you are today?
Kaye: Tenacity – not giving up when things don't quite go to plan. There's always an alternative route to the destination.
Kat: Courage – to take on tasks, projects and roles that I didn't think I was qualified for or had enough knowledge about. I'm continually reminding myself that colleagues, family and friends want me to succeed and are willing to help me do it.
Chandani: Time management – managing myself is one of the key success for me to complete my projects and meeting the deadline. Allocating time for each project, planning, scheduling, and using some tools like OneNote has always helped me multitasking and completing my task on time.

In python 3.x input is unicode by default, but in python 2.x everything is a byte string by default (which assumes ascii encoding), this includes input. Currently when running with python 3.x it's possible to use unicode for input, but python 2.x will choke when it tries to encode the bytes into unicode using the ascii codec. For example, this will work with python 3.x but no with python 2.x: (The character is yuki, Japanese for snow, if memory serves) ./piglit run quick 雪 -c This is actually pretty easy to fix, when running with python 2.x decode each input element into unicode using utf-8 as soon as the input is received. This fixes the above example to work. Signed-off-by: Dylan Baker <email@example.com> Tested-by: Marek Olšák <firstname.lastname@example.com>6a9d0146

Writing my way through the A-to-Z blogging challenge, I've tasked myself with creating a manifesto reflecting wonders, curiosities, and delights currently captivating me – all through the lens of unusual, obscure, or simply charming-to-me words.
K is for…
kalology – the study of beauty, and the ways in which beauty influences society.
While kalology is generally understood to pertain to physical beauty, likely deriving its focus from the time when ancient Greeks were trying to codify the ideal form based on the golden ratio, I'm going to broaden the meaning considerably and talk about beauty more generally.
Beauty is important to me. I always feel a little bit strange when I say that, because I wonder if I'll be misunderstood. I'm concerned people will think I'm saying physical appearances are important to me. But that's not what I mean at all.
Beauty is something I've been studying from a spiritual perspective for years, particularly through the work of Connie Kaplan, author of The Invisible Garment. I love this opening definition she offers:
"Beauty is the principle at work when the inner qualities of an object show outwardly. We cannot fully understand that which hides itself. We can only begin to understand and appreciate something when it lets light shine through it (or reflect off it) in order to extend itself outward."
It is my belief that we are all beautiful, and that indeed the world is overwhelmingly beautiful for those with eyes to see.
I believe we give a gift to the things in our life by seeing them – that it is our eyes witnessing them that creates some kind of magic that allows them to shine even more brightly because we are consciously receiving the gift they are giving by their very being. Each one of us has a part in making the world a more and more beautiful place, and that's what I mean when I say beauty is important to me. A world that's filled with harmony and loving-kindness; appreciation and celebration; equality and goodwill.
There's always so much we can learn from the natural world, and I think especially about beauty. We humans are always complicating things, and in doing so, distorting alignment. You can't argue with the is-ness of a tree, or a flower, or a cat, or a bee. They are what they are, and they aren't trying to bend themselves into being something different, something less or something more, in order to conform or be noticed, or any of the myriad of reasons humans pretzel themselves out of themselves.
I particularly like this admonishment from Rob Brezsny:
"If you want people to know who you really are and savor you for your unique beauty, you must be honest with those people. You must also develop enough skill to express your core truths with."
I think that perhaps is the entire point of our journey here – to develop enough skill to express our core truths. It's an endlessly evolving process as we refine and gain clarity, releasing all that isn't us, so we are perfectly aligned with who we truly are.
It is my belief that we all need to be ourselves full out. I would put that call out to everyone: Be You to Full. Beautiful.
I am dedicated to kalology and opening my heart to both see and appreciate all the beauty that surrounds me; and inviting myself to share all my beauty as well.
I like the idea of treating my beautiful life as the container through which to explore fully the beautiful things I'm surrounded by. I invite you, through this blog, to come peek into my life, and I'd love if you'd share something you find beautiful and let me peek into your life as well.

Great truck, runs hard, looks good doin it.
By thathurtz on Saturday, March 24, 2012I used to trade my vehicles in every 6 months or so. This truck I've had for approx 10 years. I'm afraid if I get rid of it, I won't be able to find anything as depepndable or comforatable as this again.

Best truck Ive owned in 30 yrs.
By Merrill on Tuesday, July 18, 2017I have had Chevy, Ford, and Dodge trucks in the past. Without a doubt, this truck has served me well and continues to do so. It is comfortable, smooth, quiet, and still starts just as quick as it did the day I bought it. With 275,000 miles and still counting, I sometimes grin as I think about this truck. That is the equivalent of going around the earth 12 times! It is hard not to like FORD for the quality of the truck. The only two aspects that I consider worth noting are: 1- original front rotors are softer and easily warp if towing. Solution: Change to high-end rotors and DONE. 2- You have to know and fully trust in the skills of your mechanic who changes out your spark plugs. The 5.4L engine in 2003 and some other years is known to have aluminum head and there are only about 3 to 4 threads that keep the spark plugs in the cylinder head. If you use the wrong dealership/mechanic or shop, and you can have your hands full with an over-tightened spark plug that can blow out of your engine...about a 1200.00 repair if I recall. If the truck has had TLC over its life, and you have a sharp mechanic, this is not a life-threatening issue.....(that is also true even if the spark plug blows out) I wouldnt think twice about hopping in my truck and driving cross country even now. 275,000 and still on original water pump.....My BMW didnt even make it to 100,000 miles before I had to change that!

Good Truck
By Cap'n Koop'n on Thursday, June 07, 2012I love this truck and it's been so good to me for so many years. I bought it in TX and drove straight back from the dealership 1200 miles to MN where i live. The only thing that was wrong with it is that the actuator went out. That was an easy fix although it's going bad again. Overall i've only put maintenance repairs into it except for the ac went out. The biggest problem with this truck is that it's too dull. There is nothing exceptional about this truck what so ever. It's slow, not a huge amount of torque, and the gas mileage is average. I would buy this just for the reliability.

"Outer Mongolia" has become shorthand for, at best, somewhere obscure or hard to find, and at worst a desolate wasteland in the middle of nowhere. But Mongolia, sandwiched between Russia to the north and China to the south, is a diverse place which boasts a vibrant capital city, Ulaanbaatar, and incredible natural wonders like Gorkhi-Terelj or Altai Tavn Bogd National Parks. It also contains the fifth largest desert in the world: the Gobi, with its stunning Khongor Sand Dunes, which stretches into China.

Nolan Chem
Nolan Chem is the definition of a leader among the youth and role model for all the Métis Youth in British Columbia. He is Saulteaux, Métis and a member of the Métis Nation of British Columbia. Nolan is in his 4th year studying an Interdisciplinary Science Degree consisting of Physiology, Biochemistry, and Microbiology at the University of British Columbia. Throughout high school and university, he has given back to his community in many outstanding ways and has been recognized for this on many occasions.
Nolan volunteered at the Vancouver Native Health Society for 2 years and continues to volunteer each Wednesday. He works with second-year medical students cooking nutritious meals for 30 underprivileged youth on the Downtown Eastside. The program is adjacent to social work and support groups for the youth and he is a role model to these youth. Nolan loves this position because he is able to give back to his people who are in need.
Nolan recently received interviews with 4 different medical schools around Canada with hopes of being a competent doctor for all aboriginal clients. His goal is to increase aboriginal awareness to his colleagues in medical school, so they can become more competent in treating aboriginal patients, as he will be.
Last summer, Nolan worked with 50 aboriginal youth at "Cedar Science Camp". Nolan was one of the camp leaders and taught aboriginal youth about traditional medicines, teas, sweat lodges, and other" cultural activities. Nolan was selected as one of 3 leaders to partake in a yearlong program with aboriginal youth, teaching them each month about the medicine wheel.
Nolan received the "NSERC Undergraduate Student Research Award" (a highly prestigious award), which enabled Nolan to pursue diabetes research at the BC Children's Hospital for the summer of 2015. Later, he received the award of "Aboriginal Ambassadors for Natural Science and Engineering". With this award, he spoke to aboriginal students in several Langley, BC high schools, about pursuing careers in science, healthcare, and research. He also presented twice at UBC to first/second-year aboriginal youth.
Nolan received 3 consecutive scholarships from BMO by "Indspire" and the "Golden Eagle Award" from his high school and "Aboriginal Award of Excellence" for outstanding academics, athleticism, attendance, and community involvement.
Nolan volunteered at the Indigenous Physicians Association of Canada's (IPAC) AGM. He was one of the few youths who attended the Métis Nation Health Culture Exchange a few weeks ago in Surrey, BC.
Nolan now works as a Biology tutor for aboriginal youth at UBC in the longhouse on campus. He tutors many youth twice a week.
Nolan was nominated for the "Edward JC Hossie Student Leadership Award". This award is for a UBC student who has demonstrated exceptional leadership through volunteerism, and/or campus activities. It is a highly prestigious award given to only 3 students, out of all the students at UBC. He is a nominee representing all aboriginal students and was nominated by the Aboriginal Student Coordinator at UBC.

Selling your home on the Internet is more than just a collection of pretty pictures, according to two art and design education professors.
"Your online impact is equal to your curb appeal impact," says Aimee Flynn, Graphic Design and Interior Design Department instructor at the Art Institute of Raleigh-Durham.
"In both instances, the way you package the product to entice a potential buyer is key," Flynn added.
Knowing potential buyers is also key.
"A common mistake is to assume that your home would appeal to everyone," says John C. Franke, a General Education department instructor at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh.
"People don't usually think about their homes in this way, but by analyzing your neighborhood and your home's unique appeal, you can pinpoint your target audience and market accordingly," Franke said.
"Keep in mind that you're selling a dream -- if someone can imagine his or her life unfolding in the images and descriptive text, you are one step closer to landing a successful showing," says Flynn.
Franke, with professional experience in retail buying and merchandising, and interior store design for various specialty department stores, says that the photographs used to promote your home mean everything.
"Pictures must be professional-looking and include shots of landscaping, interior attributes such as laundry room, basement storage, garage and other unique selling points," he says.
"The home should appear to be bright, clean and appointed with fresh flowers or other notable accents to add style or seasonal flair," Franke said.
Flynn and Franke offer these additional tips for preparing your Internet home listing:
• Shop the competition. Research how others present their homes online locally and in other cities before you begin to develop your tactics. Good places to start are local real estate listing sites.
• Seek professional help from within your social network. Don't be intimidated by technology but don't try to master what time doesn't allow. Web designers, photographers and other experts are probably living within your social network. Request their help.
• Sell the locality. Promote the city, school system, neighborhood parks, restaurants, etc. All of these things sell a quality of life and double as search engine buzzwords.
• List the address. Make sure you give very clear directions from main roads or intersections. This allows an interested party to check out the location of the home beforehand, which may weed out non-serious buyers.
• Highlight the property's features. Mention any recent renovations (completed with a permit), the number of bedrooms, if you have a fenced-in yard, and any unique offerings.
• Include detailed descriptions. List the square footage, individual room dimensions, property taxes, association fees, etc. Post multiple images.
• Keep the price in a searchable range. For example, a $299,000 price is more likely to draw borderline buyers than $301,000.
• Choose sites that organize listings by date. When you update your listing, any saved changes will bump up its positioning in the list.
• Seek viewer input. The only way to know what people are thinking about your home, your site or their interest in your property is to provide an easy way for browsers to offer feedback and to ask questions. Add a feedback form or email address to your listing.

First…a little history. I started baking at a young age. I was always in the kitchen with my mom baking cookies and pies and other desserts, all while NEVER making a mess if I remember correctly! She may remember differently.
After my daughter Addison was born, I didn't want to just make her a birthday cake. I wanted to make a big, elaborate centerpiece but I realized I knew nothing about fondant or much about cake decorating. I read online, and studied as much as I could hoping to learn it all. I practiced on a styrofoam cake tier for months before her 2nd birthday party, just so I could perfect it!
I started designing and baking cakes for my family and friends. And then friends of friends. I baked countless batches of cupcakes until I had fine-tuned my recipes. As my reputation grew, I was being hired by people I didn't know, and decided to jump in with both feet! And suddenly in 2010, Sugar by Tracy was born.
Now 7 years later, I am celebrating my anniversary with a new website! Candy Koated Design Studio worked with me to create this amazing, fresh new site with a new logo and new look, that so perfectly reflects my style as an artist. I absolutely love the darker, edgier, more artistic and contemporary feel!
We have included so many more pages on this site. You'll now be able to come behind the scenes with me in the 'Back Stage Pass' area where you will find sneak peeks of projects I am currently working on, watch video tutorials and be the first to know upcoming events. I'll be sharing details from my creative process, walking you through how I design and create my cakes.
You will also be able to follow along with a fun project I launched this year, #365cakesketches, where I am sketching a new cake design every single day, always inspired by something different.
I am so excited to share more of my artistic journey with you!

Posts for tag: Skin Cancer
Maintaining your health isn't just about eating a healthy diet and exercising. It's also important to have regular checkups with your various medical practitioners, including Dr. Vernon Thomas Mackey of Advanced Desert Dermatology in Peoria, Arizona. These appointments, usually made yearly, are to check your skin for any types of skin cancer that may have developed. Below are some details about skin cancer and its treatment.
It's common knowledge that prolonged sun exposure can lead to skin cancer. That's why people with fair skin who work outside or live in sunny areas of the world are at particular risk for developing lesions. However, many people are under the impression that tanning beds are a safe alternative to the sun. This is false; tanning beds actually transmit 12 times as many UVA rays than natural sunlight. As you might have guessed, genetics also play a part in developing skin cancer. So if an immediate family member has had skin cancer, it's important to have regular checkups with Dr. Mackey at Advanced Desert Dermatology.
The various types of skin cancer often produce specific symptoms that your Peoria dermatologist has special training to recognize. In general, an existing mole that develops redness, bleeding, or swelling should be examined, as should new growths that have similar properties. You can monitor changes on your skin at home by performing self-checks in the mirror once a month. Dr. Mackey can show you the best, most thorough way to perform these skin checks on yourself or a family member.
The good news is that skin cancer, when caught early, is almost always curable. The way it's treated and managed depends on a number of factors; in general, treatment begins with surgical removal of the suspect lesion and the margins around it. The sample's properties will be evaluated in a laboratory and the results reported to your Peoria dermatologist. In many cases, no further treatment is needed. Other forms of skin cancer may require further excision or medical therapy.
To schedule an appointment with Dr. Mackey, your dermatologist in Peoria, Arizona, contact Advanced Desert Dermatology today!
As summer approaches, the thought of basking in the sun may sound more than appealing, especially after a long winter. However, taking care to ensure you protect your skin from the sun's harmful UV rays and learning to identify skin cancer in its earliest stages is essential to your health. Find out more about skin cancer and its symptoms with Dr. Vernon Thomas Mackey at Advanced Desert Dermatology in Peoria, AZ.
What is skin cancer?
Cancer itself occurs when cells in the body begin to divide rapidly without stopping, forming a growth called a tumor. Skin cancer occurs when the cells in the skin begin dividing and cause tumors. These cells produce what appears to be a mole. However, cancerous moles have a slightly different appearance than healthy moles. Learning how to spot these differences can help you identify and treat skin cancer in its earliest, most curable stages.
The ABCDEs of Identifying Skin Cancer
Using the ABCDEs can help you determine whether you have an abnormal mole.
- Asymmetrical: Regular moles have a symmetrical shape and are the same on both sides. Cancerous moles are asymmetrical and do not appear to be fluid in shape.
- Border: The border of a normal mole is smooth and round or ovular. Cancerous moles tend to have jagged or oddly-shaped borders.
- Color: A normal mole is pink to brown in color and has only one color within its borders. Cancerous moles may have two or more colors.
- Diameter: The diameter of a normal mole is about 6 millimeters or less. A mole over 6 millimeters, or about the size of a pencil eraser, should be examined by your dermatologist.
- Evolution: Normal moles do not change in size, shape, or color. Cancerous moles evolve and change in shape, color, or size, often quickly or over the period of a few months.
Skin Cancer Treatments in Peoria, AZ
Treating skin cancer varies from patient to patient and depends on the size, severity, and location of the cancerous cells. The most common treatment for skin cancer is to remove the cancerous mole and the skin around it. Chemotherapy or radiation therapy may also be necessary. Your doctor can help you ensure that you have the best treatment for your condition.
For more information on skin cancer or its early detection, please contact Dr. Mackey at Advanced Desert Dermatology in Peoria, AZ. Call (623) 977-6700 to schedule your skin examination today!
One in five Americans will develop skin cancer at some point in their lives. Skin cancers are generally curable if caught early; however, people who have had skin cancer in the past are at a higher risk of developing a new skin cancer. Regular self-examinations and visits to your dermatologist are imperative to the health of your skin.
The good news is that you can easily protect yourself and your family from skin cancer. If you catch it early enough, as well, it can be successfully treated. Most skin cancers are caused by too much exposure to ultraviolet rays. The sun is the source for much of this exposure, but can also come from man-made sources, such as indoor tanning lamps.
Detection and Prevention
It is important to monitor your skin in order to properly detect any signs of skin cancer. The key to detecting skin cancers is to monitor your skin for any changes. Even the slightest change should be taken seriously. When monitoring your skin, look for:
- Large brown spots with darker speckles located anywhere on the body
- Dark lesions on the palms of your hands and soles of your feet, fingertips, toes, mouth, nose or genitalia
- Translucent pearly and dome-shaped growths
- Existing moles that begin to grow, itch or bleed
- Brown or black streaks under the nails
- A sore that repeatedly heals and re-opens
- Clusters of slow-growing scaly lesions that are pink or red
In addition, the American Academy of Dermatology developed a guide for assessing whether or not a mole or other lesion may become cancerous. This is referred to as the ABCDE guide:
- Asymmetry
- Border
- Color
- Diameter
- Elevation
Roughly 90% of non-melanoma cancers are attributed to UV radiation from the sun. Stay out of the sun during peak hours and cover up your arms and legs with protective clothing or sunscreen. Also, check your skin monthly and contact your dermatologist if you notice any changes. If any changes do occur, make an appointment to see your dermatologist immediately. Your dermatologist will be able to assess and diagnose your skin early to begin healing.
Skin cancer often causes only subtle changes in your skin in the earliest stages. Unfortunately, if the cancer isn't diagnosed promptly, it can worsen and spread. Our Peoria, AZ, dermatologist, Dr. Vernon Mackey, shares a few signs of early skin cancer and discusses treatment options.
Squamous cell carcinoma symptoms
Do you have a painful, red, flaky spot that just won't go away? That spot may actually be a squamous cell carcinoma. Cancer affects the cells in the middle and outer layers cells of your skin. Sun exposure can increase your risk of developing squamous cell carcinoma. The cancer may appear on areas of your body that have been exposed to the sun, such as your face, ears, back of hands and ears, but may also show up on your genitals or in your mouth.
Basal cell carcinoma symptoms
Basal cell carcinoma affects the deep layers of your skin and may also be caused by years of sun exposure. If you have basal cell carcinoma, you may develop:
- Sores that don't heal or come back. (Non-cancerous sores should heal in about a week.)
- Flat, firm areas that look like scars
- Raised bumps that are pink or pearly white with depressed centers
- Pigmented pearly bumps that resemble moles
Melanoma symptoms
Melanoma, the most serious form of skin cancer, affects more than 87,000 people a year, according to the Skin Cancer Foundation. Symptoms of melanoma include:
- New moles
- Asymmetrical moles
- Moles that have irregular or blurred edges
- Moles that are more than one color or contain blue, pink, red or white colors
- Bleeding or scaly moles
- Moles that are larger than a pencil eraser
- Sores that don't heal
How is skin cancer treated?
Skin cancer may be removed using one or more of these methods offered by our Peoria office, including:
- Topical Medications: A medicated cream is used to stimulate your immune system to attack and kill cancerous cells in the outer layers of your skin.
- Cryosurgery: Liquid nitrogen removes tumors by freezing them.
- Surgical Excision: Surgical excision involves removing the cancerous cells with a scalpel.
- Mohs Micrographic Surgery: During this surgery, a single layer of skin is removed at a time, then examined under a microscope. Another layer of skin is removed if cancerous cells are found in the first layer. The process continues until there are no traces of the cancer. Mohs surgery requires less destruction of healthy skin and produces a much smaller scar than surgical excision.
- Radiation Therapy: In some cases, radiation may be needed to treat hard-to-reach or persistent cancers.
Early treatment can help you avoid serious skin cancer complications. If you're concerned about a suspicious spot or mole, call our Peoria, AZ, dermatologist, Dr. Mackey, at (623) 977-6700 to schedule an appointment.
Your skin is your body's most prominent organ, making it essential to properly care for it, especially during the summertime when UV levels can wreak havoc on exposed skin. While basking in the sun can feel sensational, the effects of sun exposure may not be as agreeable over time. When you decide to hit up the beach in your new swimsuit, your dermatologist urges you to take extra precautions to protect your skin.
Many beach and pool goers often complain of sunburn, which is a visible reaction of the skin's exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation, the invisible rays that are part of sunlight. Signs of sunburn may not appear for a few hours and the full effect to your skin may take up to 24 hours to appear, but when you have a sunburn, you will know it! Ultraviolet rays can also cause invisible damage to the skin. Excessive or multiple sunburns cause premature aging of the skin and can lead to skin cancer. According to your dermatologist, some of the most common symptoms of sunburn include:
- Redness
- Swelling of the skin
- Pain
- Blisters
- Fever
- Chills
- Weakness
- Dry, itching and peeling skin days after the burn
Sunburns typically heal on their own in a couple of weeks, but there are ways to alleviate the pain caused by them. It is often recommended that you take a cool bath or gently apply cool, wet compresses to the skin when sunburn develops. You many also take a pain reliever to help with the pain, but it is also important to rehydrate your skin to help reduce swelling by applying aloe.
Visit your dermatologist for more information on how to protect your skin this summer and to find out what to do when you suffer from sunburn. Remember, skin cancer is one of the most common forms of cancer in the United States, so protecting your skin this summer can help protect you for a lifetime.
