 to enhance college life for her peers, and was recently elected Vice President Outreach of the Students’ Association at GPRC. She is also seeking a position on the Alberta Students’ Executive Council, a province-wide responsibility.
Her list of involvement in student activities and services is already extensive, and she has numerous plans for the coming year which will enhance the student life experience here at GPRC.
Katelynn Pedersen is passionate about the importance of education, to individuals, and to the communities in which they live. Her future plans include completing her Business diploma, then going on to pursue a degree. She believes that community is best built by those individuals who are passionate about what they do, and that education helps people see better potential for themselves. Katelynn herself says she is pursuing a future much bigger than she ever thought it could be – and is thrilled to share her passion in her Valedictory address at Convocation 2014.
The Beth Sheehan Salutatorian Award 2014 is presented to Qiujin (Jean) Zheng who is graduating with a Bachelor of Commerce, offered at GPRC in collaboration with Athabasca University.
Jean grew up in China, and came to Grande Prairie to study soon after she turned 18. Her sense of adventure, a desire to experience authentic Canadian culture, and determination to pursue higher education overcame any worries or concerns she might have had. Jean’s parents, who always emphasized the importance of education for a successful future, have been strong supporters of her efforts throughout the past years, and have travelled from China to celebrate her accomplishments at Convocation.
Education is important, Jean says, not only for the career opportunities it opens, but for the opportunity to change lives. “It is how you use the knowledge you have gained that is the true value,” she explains. During her years as a student, she has also been an enthusiastic volunteer for various community events, and has worked part-time as a computer lab assistant, where she quickly became known for her helpful attitude and resourcefulness.
Coming to Canada has been a life-changing decision for Jean Zheng. She is very happy to be here, and excited to begin her new career as an accountant in training at Fletcher Mudryk & Co. LLP. Jean would like to express her appreciation for all the people who have come into her life here – teachers and new friends including her “significant other” – for their open minds and welcoming arms.
Representing her fellow graduates at Convocation 2014 is a welcome responsibility for Jean, and an honour she is exceptionally happy to be able to share with her parents.
Zheng and Pedersen will share some of the highlights and insights of their GPRC years with fellow graduates and guests.
“Our students continue to amaze us with their personal and academic accomplishments,” says Susan Bansgrove, VP Academic at GPRC who traditionally emcees the Convocation ceremonies. “We are exceptionally proud of each and every one of these graduates as they go off in pursuit of their life dreams. We know they will be creating a better future for all of us.”
Convocation 2014 is the concluding ceremony of the 48th Academic Year GPRC Grande Prairie.
-30-Chinese style tendinomuscular acupuncture relies on careful palpation of what are called “Ah Shi” points, which often correspond to both trigger points and/or motor points in the myofascial tissue. Chinese style tendinomuscular acupuncture tends to use lower gauge (thicker) needles necessary for puncturing contraction knots with a high degree of precision. On the other hand, lighter styles of acupuncture, such as Japanese style, and many American styles, may tend towards very shallow insertions of higher gauge (thinner) needles. Most acupuncture styles, especially those with lighter techniques, require a detailed knowledge, not only of anatomy but also of the channel networks and connections. Thus, while some forms of acupuncture are not at all the same as dry needling, the term dry needling can refer quite specifically to what is now called Myofascial Acupuncture, Tendinomuscular Acupuncture, or some version of Sports Acupuncture.I thought Whittaker looked good in his comeback, Till is just an awkward fighter for anyone, lots of feints and unpredictable. They both looked good in that fight imo

Shabazyan is only 22 and just had his first loss, give him time to learn. 

Gastelum is on a bad run of fights but he hasn't fizzled out, he is only 28 and has had a pretty tough run of opponents lately. 

Cannonier just beat Hermansson who is a beast in his own right and top competition (4th in MW rankings) 

Looking ahead you have the following matchups in MW:

Izzy vs Costa
Rob vs Cannonier
Uriah vs Romero 

Potential Matchups between Shabazyan / Vettori / Gastelum / Till / Brunson / Hermansson 

Definitely not the most stacked division I agree but there are a lot of great fighters in the top 15Deciphering A Candle Burn

Im going to try to make this short:
My ex died this week. We have been separated for a little over two years. He was the person I loved most in the world and the person who abused me in everyway possible. 

I've had to do alot of healing these last couple years. It seemed like some universal thread kept us in proximity to each other both physically, mentally and spiritually. I have been grappling with going to his viewing. I feel like he is trying to connect as so many strange and unexplainable things have happened since his passing. 

I meditated and prayed on this and as my 7 color candle hit blue I prayed for an answer or a sign or clarity as to what I should do. The outcome was the flame burning a dark spot over Santa Muertes scythe while the mid section illuminated and flickered. 

Im sorry for my ignorance as I am still learning.  How would this be interpreted?National Fish and Chip Awards 2018 Roundup!
A fantastic 30th year of the National Fish & Chip Awards organised by Seafish, held at the Royal Lancaster Hotel in London on Thursday 25th January, was once more hosted by Nigel Barden returning for a fourth successive year to do what he does best. Firstly, a huge thank you goes out to all of the 2017 winners who have carried the torch admirably for the industry this the past year, with a special mention for the 2017 Fish & Chip Shop of the Year Kingfisher Fish & Chips.
A further well done then has to go out to all that entered the 2018 Fish & Chip Awards, many fantastic shops all doing the industry extremely proud.
The winners of each award showing exceptional skill, work rate and character over a prolonged period to come out on top of their respective categories. Another special mention must go to the winner of the Outstanding Achievement Award, Mark Drummond, whose heartfelt speech celebrated the life of the late Briar Wilkinson, touching the emotions of all in attendance.
Taking the plaudits and crowned the National Fish & Chip Awards' Independent Fish & Chip Shop of the Year was Millers, Haxby.
A well deserved win by all accounts.
The winner of the Drywite Young Fish Frier of the Year, Peter Calvert, will also be attending the FRY I.T. 2018 trade show!Hello! My name is Zoi (which means life in greek). I am a student and member of the local antenna in Thessaloniki, a historic city in northern Greece located by the sea. Currently I am balancing my life between doing an MSc in Biological Anthropology and a second Bachelor degree in Journalism and Communication on the same time. I am a restless person constantly looking for new hobbies and experiences as those are the ingredients that make life interesting. I consider myself a sugar addict, I like tasting different cuisines, dancing, writing and of course travelling and exploring new places and cultures.
I first found out about AEGEE while I was at my Erasmus exchange in Florence as it is one of the local groups organising events for the local international community such as city tours, aperitivo, day trips.
As a member of AEGEE Firenze I was participating in local events. I joined Thessaloniki's antenna only 6 months ago but during this period I took part in a SU in Italy, the RTC of London and I am looking forward for the Agora in Salerno and Napoli's pre-Agora event. It goes without saying that the highlight of my days in AEGEE was the SU in Lombardy.
I plan to stay an active member by participating in local and most important international events and hopefully become a board member in the future in order to contribute in organizing activitoes as well.
Balance time and obligations while trying to stay an active member can be demanding but I cannot ask for a better way to decompress from the daily routine.
