Last week, Queen Elizabeth II celebrated her diamond jubilee, commemorating her 60-year-long rule over England, as well as the 45th anniversary of Prince Charles wondering if “he’ll ever get a crack at that throne, because at this point this is just goddamn ridiculous.” Anyways — in commemoration of the commemoration, The Peak has decided to show our respects to our favourite monarch with a little English history lesson. Queen Elizabeth II, this is your life!

1948 — Prince Charles is born, presumably as a 55-year-old man.

1952 — Coronated as queen, spends the day calling up old duchess friends to flaunt
it in their face.

1953 — Jokingly shouts “OFF WITH HIS HEAD” at servant. Promises never to do
that again.

1961 — Switches places with a commoner who bear striking resemblance to herself.
Learns valuable lesson about stepping into other peoples’ shoes.

1966 — Poses for face on money. Feels awkward paying for things with pictures of
self. Then realizes will never have to pay for anything again.

1969 — Man walks on moon. This doesn’t have anything to do with the Queen of
England, but she’s been there for a while.

1977 — Celebrates Silver Jubilee. Has fun, but not that much fun. For that is the
English way.

1990 — Amasses personal fortune in swimming pool and dives into it a la Scrooge
McDuck from the current and relevant DuckTales cartoon.

1994 — Contemplates war with France for old times sake.

2002 — Celebrates Golden Jubilee, getting kind of sick of jubilees at this point.

2012 — Celebrates Diamond Jubilee, ugh.

2052 — Centennial anniversary of rule. Quiet night in the royal burial plot with the
throne they were unable to remove from her cold dead hands.

New immunotherapy treatment provides hope for aggressive cancer

News Peak Web -
By: Lucaiah Smith-Miodownik, News Writer Surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy are often recognized as the three most common forms of cancer treatment. Sometimes, the latter two approaches become no longer effective when cancers become drug resistant, allowing the cells to further spread. At the University of Calgary, however, promising developments in immunotherapy intervention seek to provide alternative treatment when common therapies are not viable.  Cells continually divide to replenish dying cells, but certain gene mutations can create cancer cells, which divide and spread in an uncontrolled manner. The human body naturally defends itself from cancerous cells, though sometimes they can “hide from the immune system and avoid being destroyed,” according to the Canadian Cancer Society. Immunotherapy seeks to help strengthen the ability to recognize and fight...
