【星情札記 — 緬懷 Chris McRae 女士 】
學習占星的旅程中，我有幸與幾位大師互動過，雖然只是短暫會晤，都覺得深受啟發。
2014年赴北京參加 ISAR 考試時，Chris McRae 女士是當年的考試委員，親授諮詢技巧與職業道德意識，她驚人的體力和對占星充滿熱情的態度讓我難忘。剛得知她在2020年底過世的消息，感念在心 ❤
以下轉貼 David Railey 在微博上的貼文和數張照片
昨天深夜，我得知我的好朋友兼同事克莉絲．麥克雷去世了。據雷．梅里曼和華盛頓星象協會發佈的消息稱，克莉絲於2020年12月28日下午3點在加拿大阿爾伯塔省埃德蒙頓去世。她的死亡是在12月24日左右突然摔倒造成的，當時她因髖骨和鎖骨骨折被送進了醫院。她92歲了，這個月即將93歲。她於1928年1月29日上午10:13:32出生在加拿大的羅斯敦。
克莉絲是職業占星界的傳奇人物，是一位受人尊敬的老師，也是創建ISAR CAP項目中備受尊敬的領導者。她在2013年和2014年作為ISAR代表訪問過中國，受到了很多人的喜愛。2013年和2014年在北京參加過ISAR培訓的同學們可以證明這位了不起的女性擁有不可思議的能量、智慧、承諾以及溫暖的心。當她第一次以ISAR諮詢技巧培訓師的身份來到中國時，她已經85歲了，但你永遠猜不到這點!
我至今還會會想到她拄著拐杖飛快地走著，摩托車和大車在她周圍呼嘯而過。她喜歡在胡同裡散步，但最喜歡的是她的中國新同學!下面的紅玫瑰是2014年克莉絲在PPT課程結束時送給她的中國學生的。Felicia 蔣今天早上發現了這張照片。這些花代表她對學生的愛;很少有老師如此和藹可親。
她對占星學也充滿熱情，並將自己的一生奉獻給了這個領域——在ISAR董事會服務了20多年。克莉絲和她的ISAR團隊花了無數的時間來開發認證專案。ISAR能力考試是這個項目的精華。無數志願者把他們個人時間投入致力於ISAR考試的發展和持續改進。從2011年到2020年，我對Chris有了更深的瞭解，特別是在ISAR考試期間，我和她一起在考試委員會工作。她很高效，總是及時回復電子郵件——而且善於提出實用的建議，與她一起共事的經歷很愉快。
雷．梅里曼（Ray Merriman）與克莉絲非常親近，他曾為《ISAR電子雜誌》（ISAR E-Zine）寫過關於她的文章。我希望你們這些 ISAR會員能讀到 Ray 寫的文章。她是一個非常出色的世界旅行者和 ISAR的全球大使。在她從 ISAR 董事會退休後，我繼續與她通信。她給我的最後一封郵件是在10月份，在我心臟手術康復期間，她發送給我她的愛和療愈的能量。她很擔心我，想傳遞給我能量;她就是這樣的女人。克莉絲準備出版一本新書，偉大的合相:轉變的時代，她剛剛為ISAR雜誌寫了一篇文章 —— 摩羯座革命。
占星界的所有人都會想念她，她也會作為一位靈感源泉而世人銘記。她值得被記住，認識她是人生一大幸事。
In memory of Chris McRae
Late last night I learned of the passing of a dear friend and colleague, Chris McRae. According to posts from Ray Merriman and the Astrological Guild in Washington, Chris died on Dec 28, 2020 at @ 3:00pm in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Her death was the result of a sudden fall on or around Dec 24, at which time she was admitted to the hospital with a broken hip and collar bone. She was 92-years old, and would've turned 93 this month. She was born January 29, 1928 at 10:13:32 AM in Rosetown, Canada.
Chris was a legend in the world of professional astrology, a revered teacher, and a highly respected leader in the creation of the ISAR CAP program. She was beloved by many, especially here in China - having visited China in 2013 and 2014 as a representative of ISAR. Those of you who participated in the ISAR Training in Beijing in 2013 and 2014 could testify to the incredible energy, intelligence, commitment and warm heart of this amazing woman. When she first came to China as an ISAR Consulting Skills Trainer she was already 85-years old, but you'd never know it!
I can still see her walking along at a fast clip with her cane as motor scooters and carts whizzed around her. She enjoyed walking through the hutongs, but most of all she loved her new Chinese students! The red roses posted below are "from" Chris to her Chinese students at the end of her PPT course material back in 2014. Felicia Jiang found this photo this morning. These flowers represent her love to her students; rarely has a teacher been so gracious.
She was passionate about astrology, and gave her life to the field - serving over twenty-years on the ISAR Board. Chris spent countless hours with her ISAR team developing the Certification Program. The ISAR Competency Exam was the gem of this program. Countless volunteer hours, months, and years were dedicated to the development and continued improvement of the ISAR Exam. I got to know Chris well from 2011 - 2020, especially through ISAR and serving with her on the ISAR Exam Committee. She was an incredibly efficient person, always returning emails promptly - and always with practical suggestions that made her a pleasure to work with.
Ray Merriman, who was very close to Chris, has written about her for the ISAR E-Zine. I hope that those of you that are ISAR members will read what Ray wrote. She was quite the world traveler and global ambassador for ISAR. I continued to correspond with her after she retired from the ISAR Board. Her last email to me was in October, when she sent her love and healing energy to me during my recovery from heart surgery. She was worried about me and wanted to send me energy; that's the kind of woman she was. Chris was also in the process of publishing a new book, The Great Conjunctions: Shifting Times, and she had just written an article for the ISAR Journal - The Capricorn Revolution.
She will be missed by all in the astrological community and remembered as an inspiration. She deserves to be remembered, it was a true honor to know her.

alberta工作 在 [問題] 移民方案請益- 看板Canada - 批踢踢實業坊 的推薦與評價
大家好，本人最近在思考移民加拿大，但不確定是否可行
考量工作機會、移民難易程度及生活開銷，目前是以Alberta為目標
以下為背景：
年齡：單身29歲，年底即將滿30歲
學歷：美國會計碩士
語言能力：雅思 8，但說寫要再加強
工作經驗：四大審計1年3個月、美國上市外商財務部2年9個月
如果走2+3讀書移民，目前碩士可選擇的program只有U of Alberta和U of Calgary 的MBA
，不曉得畢業之後找工作會不會有overqualified 的問題
如果是念兩年diploma，轉換領域的入學門檻相對低，但會有點怕之後在找工作競爭不過
碩士學歷
另外也有考慮直接投EE，以我目前的條件在年底之前如果雅思有考到最高級距能有481分
，可是距離目前的邀請分數還是有點遠
不曉得以上方案的可行性如何，想聽聽大家的意見，如果有任何盲點也再請大家多指教
謝謝大家幫忙
