When he heard that, the corners of Ye Xiaos mouth could not help but twitch violently.
Was it not very glorious He did not do anything, and in the end, he became someone elses Grand Elder.
Was there anything more glorious than that
However, those guys were a little too outrageous.
It was fine if they thought of him as their reclusive Grand Elder, but in the end, they even forcefully raised his cultivation by so much.
His cultivation base was clearly only at the fifth-level Godly Emperor realm, but then, it had been directly raised to the peak of the ninth-level Godly Emperor realm by them.
He might even be the legendary Supreme Eternal.
Good heavens, even if he wanted to become a Supreme Eternal, he would have to have the time to do so, right
"You go ahead with your work.
Ill take my leave first."
"Alright! Take care, Boss Ye."
/ please keep reading on MYB0XN0VEL.C0M.
Ye Xiao turned around and left.
The manager stared at his back, shook his head, and sighed.
"Isnt this a little too much It was already very sad for others that a ninth-level Godly Emperor had appeared in our god clan.
After all, their god clan did not have a Supreme Eternal.
"Now, I still want to add salt to his wounds.
Im a little too rude."
However, very soon, he grinned again.
"What can we do Who asked the heavens to bless our Bluebell god clan and give us a reclusive Grand Elder
"I also dont want to be arrogant here and advertise, but theres no other way!
After Ye Xiao left that place, he immediately used the Space-time immortal technique and instantly arrived at the northernmost part of the Bluebell divine territory.
An ordinary Godly Emperor was far from being able to reach his speed.
Only an existence like him, who had cultivated the Space-time immortal technique, would be able to instantly come from the center of the Bluebell divine territory to that kind of small area.
Moreover, Ye Xiaos current cultivation was only at the fifth-level Godly Emperor realm.
He really did not know what kind of existence he would be once he reached the legendary True Immortal realm
When he arrived there, he immediately began to spread out his divine sense.
'With my fifth-level Godly Emperor realm divine sense, I should be able to find that little phoenix.
As expected, just a second after he spread out his divine sense, he instantly found that little phoenix.
However, her condition was not very good at the moment, she was currently being surrounded by a few low-grade martial arts masters who were constantly attacking her.
Her body was already riddled with injuries and fresh blood was flowing out.
Ye Xiao shook his head and immediately activated the Space-time immortal technique.
In the distant star area, several figures were besieging the little phoenix.
The brilliance that erupted from various god techniques interweaved with each other and continuously bombarded the little phoenixs body.
Little Phoenix let out a series of sorrowful cries.
She wanted to escape, but she was suppressed by the enemy.
There were too many enemies, so she had no way to escape.
"Quick! She cant hold on much longer! As long as we kill her and drink her phoenix blood, our martial talent will be greatly improved."
Hearing that, everyones eyes lit up, and the attacks on their hands became heavier.
To be honest, if it was any other time, they would not have attacked the little phoenix at all.
The superiority of the high-level god clans against the low-level god clans was simply too strong.
Not only that, there might even be a series of dangers in the future.
As an example, the members of the Phoenix clan would come and find trouble with them.
At the moment, the two great worlds were fighting.
No one knew which side would win in the end.
Perhaps the Xuanhuang Great World would win.
At that time, they would all be merged into the Xuanhuang Great World.
The Phoenix clan would definitely not end well.
Naturally, they did not have to worry about the Phoenix clan taking revenge.
If the Yanhuang Great World won, the Phoenix clan, who were the strongest, would definitely sacrifice a lot.
At that time, they would have no time to take care of themselves, so they probably would not bother about that little phoenix.
No matter what kind of outcome it was, it was relatively safe for them to kill the little phoenix.
After killing the little phoenix and absorbing her flesh and blood, they would be able to greatly increase their martial arts comprehension, aptitude, and even strength.
For low-level god clan members like them, it was a wonderful opportunity that was out of their reach.
There was a saying that described merchants.
It said that if they were faced with a profit of more than 200, they might do something illegal.
That principle also applied to martial arts masters.
Martial arts masters also had limited lifespans.
However, if they were able to continuously increase their strength, they would be able to maintain their youth and pursue a higher level of martial arts.
The flesh and blood of the little phoenix was no longer just 200 percent profit to them.
To put it bluntly, that profit was not too much.
It was at least 1000, or even 10,000.
If their aptitude did not increase, it would be difficult for their cultivation to increase by several levels in their lifetime.
However, just as they were about to successfully kill the little phoenix, an incident suddenly happened.
The little phoenix suddenly disappeared.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
"Whats going on Whats going on"
"Wheres the little phoenix Where did she go Why did she disappear"
"D*mn it, who is she We fought hard until now, and we were about to take down the little phoenix, but she escaped!
"Ahhhh… This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
We might not be able to encounter it a second time in our lifetime."
Some of them even began to go a little crazy.
That blow to them was really too great.
The duck that had been in their hands had flown away.
If it was anyone else, they would not feel good in their hearts.
At that moment, the little phoenix had already been grabbed by Ye Xiao to his side.
He used the Space-time immortal technique and did not teleport himself to little phoenixs side.
Instead, he teleported Little Phoenix to his side.
Little Phoenix was also dumbfounded.
She had never thought that such a situation would occur.
When she was being beaten up by the group earlier, she even felt that she was about to die.
In the end, she did not expect that she would land on another person in the blink of an eye.
Even if she used her claws, she could imagine that that person was many times stronger than the people who had surrounded her.
Even so, as a phoenix with the will of the powerful Phoenix clan in the starry sky, she had the pride of a phoenix.
No matter how strong the other party was, she would never lower her head.
However, to her surprise, the other party did not attack her.
Instead, he used a healing technique to help her heal her body.
Upon sensing that scene and the Undying masterpiece technique, her small eyes instantly widened in disbelief.
Ye Xiao actually knew the Undying masterpiece technique! He actually knew the Phoenix clans masterpiece technique! How was that possible
It was a secret technique that originated from the bloodline of the Phoenix clan.
Only monarchs of the Phoenix clan or members of the Phoenix clan would automatically open the secret technique after cultivating to the Godly King realm.
How did he obtain it
Could it be that he was also a member of the Phoenix clan
No, there was no aura of the Phoenix clan in his body.
Ye Xiao took the initiative to speak,
"Hello, Little Girl."
The little phoenix looked at him warily before transforming into a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl that was filled with a youthful aura.
She stood not far away and looked at him.
"Why do you know our Phoenix clans Undying masterpiece technique Who are you exactly What connections do you have with our Phoenix clan"
Ye Xiao smiled slightly.
"Thats not important.
Im here to make a deal with you."
The little phoenix became even more vigilant.
"What do you want"
"Phoenix-perched Parasol Tree."
Ye Xiao instantly stated his needs.
When Little Phoenix heard those words, her face could not help but turn red.
"You… You stinking hooligan! Youre shameless."
The other partys sudden curse made him feel a little confused.
The Phoenix-perched Parasol Tree was only used by a phoenix to sleep.
It was not something a cute girl wore close to her body.
Something was not right… Wait a moment, something did not seem right.
The Phoenix-perched Parasol Tree was used to sleep.
Then would the Phoenix-perched Parasol Tree not be equivalent to the other partys bed
He wanted to buy the other partys bed.
No wonder the other party had such a big reaction.
However, he still had to get the Parasol Tree.
After all, without it, it was impossible for him to repair the cracks on the Great Dragons body.
He then said,
"I dont have any other intentions.
I just need the Phoenix-perched Parasol Tree wood for something.
You can name your price.
"Of course, just because Im easy to talk to doesnt mean that Im easy to bully.
I just saved your life.
If youre not willing to give me the Phoenix-perched Parasol Tree wood, I can send you back.
I think those people will want to continue todote on you."
"You… Youre shameless!"
The little phoenix girl was so angry that her face was ashen.
Her pink fists were clenched tightly, and her small mouth was gnashing her teeth so hard that they made creaking sounds.
Looking at that appearance, she simply wished that she could slap Ye Xiao to death and swallow him alive along the way.
However, when she thought of the terrifying strength that Ye Xiao had displayed earlier, she ultimately cowered in the end.
The Phoenix clan was the clan with the most arrogant character.
Even if she were to die, she would still choose to die at the hands of a martial arts prodigy like Ye Xiao and not die at the hands of that group of low-grade martial arts masters.
Of course, if she did not die at Ye Xiaos hands, it would definitely be more acceptable to her than going back to deal with those low-grade martial arts masters.
Therefore, if she did not die and only sold her personal belongings to Ye Xiao, she did not have to be stubborn.
Gritting her teeth, she spoke again,
"You… Turn around.
Dont look over here."
Ye Xiao did not turn around.
He only slowly closed his eyes.
"Ill be fine as long as I close my eyes.
Dont worry, I wont peek at you."
His divine sense had long locked onto the surroundings.
The other party had no way of escaping.
However, he was very curious.
Why did the little phoenix ask him not to look
Did she not put the Phoenix-perched Parasol Tree into her spatial storage ring

Facebook exec on success: 'Be opportunistic'
In a Fortune-initiated mentoring program for high school girls, Carolyn Everson, Facebook's Vice President of Global Marketing Solutions, joined Colleen Leahey, of Fortune's Most Powerful Women Summit, held at the Ritz-Carlson hotel in Laguna Niguel, California, in a conversation on what it takes to succeed outside the beaten path.
Everson's message to the 31 mentees—girls with parents in the armed forces stationed at nearby Fort Pendleton—was clear: "Don't worry about plotting out your entire life because you don't know what's going to be around in a few years. Be opportunistic instead, and follow your passion."
That's the path Everson choose, open to all possibilities, as she zigzagged from Disney (DIS) to Zagat to MTV, with a short stint at Microsoft (MSFT), before taking on the top advertising job at Facebook (FB). But the 42-year-old mentor revealed a turning point, and a little known fact, early on that path. In 1998, riding the first dot-com wave, she helped get Pets.com off the ground, while studying at Harvard Business School. Three weeks later the CEO of the start-up fired her. Everson was devastated, having lost a lot of money, and it took her a few weeks to get out of bed. But she did, and learnt a life lesson along the way: It's ok to get fired; it's ok to fail. "There are going to be bumps in the road, but believe in yourself, and have self-confidence," she told the group of aspiring girls, mentioning Facebook's motto: "Fail harder".
Addressing a growing demand for more women engineers in Silicon Valley, Everson pointed out an urgent need for not just women who specialize in computer science, but also for women in technology who can't code, yet understand how technology is transforming their lives. "Understanding and appreciating the impact technology has on business—that there are more mobile phones in the world than people or tooth brushes—qualifies you for a tech job," she said. "Coding skills are an added bonus."
Joined by a room full of MPW mentors, including Cinnabon CEO Kat Cole, fitness guru Tracy Anderson, and Goldie Blox founder Debra Sterling, Everson echoed a common sentiment: "Career and family, you can have it both. It's not about work life balance; it's all about work-life integration." Quoting NFL player, Michael Strahan, she concluded, "It's never if, it's when."

Using a qualitative research approach, this article explores teachers' roles in infants' play and its changing nature in an infant group care setting. Three infant teachers in a child care center were followed over three months. Observations, interviews, ongoing conversations, emails, and reflective notes were used
eywords: eachers' roles lay nfant development nfant group care
as data sources. Findings revealed that the teachers took on various roles: observer, play follower/play partner, facilitator, commentator/interpreter, play supporter, play leader, play interrupter, safety/conflict manager, multiple-responder, and multiple-role taker. The nature of the teachers' roles developed and changed over time in relation to the infants' rapid growth, group dynamics, and infant–teacher relation- ships. This study suggests that infant teachers' practice is complex, changing, and developmental as the group care context is dynamic and multilayered.
In early childhood education, there has been unanimous agree- ent among educators and researchers that children learn and
row through play (Fromberg, 2002; Manning-Morton & Thorp, 003; Van Hoorn, Nourot, Scales, & Alward, 2003; Wood & Attfield, 005). Play enhances children's understanding of the social and hysical worlds, enriches their emotional experiences, and empow- rs their ownership and control of their own learning (Borstein
Lamb, 1992; Honig, 2006; Wortham & Wortham, 1989). Thus, n play, children are committed to what they pursue and actively ry out more creative thinking (Broadhead & English, 2005;
hitebread & Jameson, 2005). During play, children flexibly move n and out of their imaginative world, experimenting with their ctions and controlling their real world (Lillard, 2007). Children are ocialized and enculturated by interacting with peers and teach- rs through play (Pramling-Samuelsson & Fleer, 2010). They learn o communicate, negotiate with others, and understand their per- pectives (Fromberg, 2002; Manning-Morton & Thorp, 2003).
Teachers' roles in children's play have been regarded as a owerful influence on children's quality experiences (File, 1994; ontos & Wilcox-Herzog, 1997). A considerable body of research as focused on teachers' roles in play at preschools (e.g. Bennett, ood, & Rogers, 2001; Einarsdottir, 1998; Kemple, 1996; Korat,
ahar, & Snapir, 2002; Saracho, 2002). Taking a qualitative
esearch approach, these studies identified teachers' roles during hildren's play as stage manager, mediator, player, scribe, asses- or/communicator, planner (Jones & Reynolds, 1992), provider,

observer, participant (Bennett et al., 2001), stage manager, play- mate/enhancer, interviewer, and safety/behavior monitor (Kontos, 1999). Providing detailed descriptions of teachers' role-taking in play within natural classroom settings, these studies highlight the importance of teachers' roles and the complexity of classroom con- text and its relation to teachers' practices. They also provide further insight on the actions of teachers' involvement in play.
Substantial research also provides that mothers support and enrich infants' play. When mothers stay near infants, convey an affectionate and sensitive attitude, encourage their attention, sug- gest new toys, and use modeling for play, infants show a high level of focus and far more advanced play than they do in their soli- tary play (Bigelow, MacLean, & Proctor, 2004; Bornstein, Haynes, O'Reilly, & Painter, 1996; Fiese, 1990; Hodapp, Goldfield, & Boyatzis, 1984; Pridham, Becker, & Brown, 2000). However, a majority of the studies concentrate on mothers' roles while there is a paucity of research on infant teachers' roles in play. Even though the studies on mothers elucidate the significant aspects of adults' roles in play, it should be recognized that mothers' roles cannot be generalized to infant teachers' due to their contrasting caregiving contexts.
Studies on infant group care reveal the unique nature of infant teachers' work while posing important questions regarding teach- ers' roles in play. First, infant–teacher ratios are reported to influence teachers' behaviors. Some research has shown that if teachers work in settings with high infant–teacher ratios, they show a low level of sensitivity and responsiveness because they have to divide their attentions among several infants (Ahnert,
Pinquart, & Lamb, 2006; Goossens & Melhuish, 1996; NICHD Early Child Care Research Network, 1996). But, somewhat different results are reported by Klein and Feldman (2007) who found that

eachers were highly sensitive and responsive to infants even in setting with a high toddler–teacher ratio (1:6 to 1:8). It should
e noted that the teachers were assessed during their one-on- ne interactions with toddlers. These results pose questions about hether teachers' sensitivity and responsiveness changes depend-
ng on the number of infants they interact with at the moment of lay and how group size might impact teachers' roles in play.
Second, in group care settings, teachers form relationships ith multiple infants. During the process of relationship build-
ng, teachers and infants become more "contingent, responsive, and eciprocal" (Raikes & Edwards, 2009, p.2). In particular, caregivers hange their behaviors toward infants, becoming significant fig- res as "carer, playmate, resource, and teacher" (Lee, 2006, p.145). ince play is believed to facilitate high-quality infant–teacher inter- ctions (Bergen, Reid, & Torelli, 2009; Degotardi, 2010; Wittmer & etersen, 2010), teachers' roles in play might also change according o their developing relationships with infants. Thus, how teachers' oles unfold within the course of the relationship-building process eeds to be addressed.
Third, studies on mothers' behavior in play suggest that dults change their response according to children's development Bornstein, Tamis-LeMonda, Hahn, & Hayes, 2008; Danis, Bourdais,
Ruel, 2000; Morelock, Brown, & Morrissey, 2003). In Sachs's 1984) study, the mother adjusted her language stimulation to the evel of communicative ability of her toddler, using less explicit uggestions and more descriptive speech and inferences for the hild as he became older. Mothers also modify their play behav- or to fit their infants' cognitive development (Dickson & Smith, 003). In Newland, Roggman, and Boyce's study (2001), as infants rew over time from 11 months to 17 months, they increas- ngly initiated more social toy play with their mothers and the
others increasingly got involved in their play and responded eciprocally. Whereas many studies demonstrate that mothers dif- erentiate responses according to infants' developmental status, ew studies explore teachers' changing practice in response to nfants' growth. One recent study by Deynoot-Schaub and Riksen-
alraven (2008) showed that teachers' ways of interacting differed t 15 months versus 23 months. For 23-month-olds, the teach- rs were more supportive and respectful of the infants' autonomy, howing higher quality interactions than at an earlier age. The esearchers presumed that during the second year, the teachers' etter understanding of the infants as well as the infants' rapid rowth in language, cognitive, motor, and social skills contributed o the infants' independence and teachers' changing practice. How- ver, a question remains regarding what actually underlied the eachers' changing practice. Taken together, these studies provide aluable insights into infant teachers' practice and the complexities f practice inherent in group care settings, but still leave significant uestions unaddressed regarding teachers' roles in play.
Recently, a group of scholars from various countries collabora- ively conducted cultural–historical research on the play of children rom birth to 3 years of age (Fleer, Tonyan, Mantilla, & Rivalland, 010; Pramling-Samuelsson & Sheridan, 2010; Rao & Li, 2010; hite et al., 2010; Wineberg & Chicquette, 2010). The researchers
ideotaped five to eight children for one whole day in ECE set- ings in each country and interviewed the children's teachers and arents. The findings showed that the parents and the teachers onsidered play as the most important experience for children. owever, their views of adult roles differed depending on their ulture. For example, the Aotearoa New Zealand teachers mainly iewed their roles as facilitator and guardian, the Swedish teachers s observer, the Australian teachers as supporter of independent
earning, and the American teachers as provider of the play envi- onment. The study suggested that these views of teachers' roles ere shaped and influenced by the social, cultural, and historical
ontext where they were situated and conceptualized.
uarterly 28 (2013) 187–198
To my best knowledge, the topic of teachers' beliefs and prac- tices in infants' play has not been investigated as a primary focus in empirical studies. Rather, infant teachers' practice has been set as a background context for examining infants' play. It has mostly been measured in terms of particular characteristics such as sensitivity and responsiveness, and based on a few observed occasions, thus missing a more holistic view of infant teachers' practice (Santelices, Olhaberry, Perez-Salas, & Carvacho, 2009). Fur- thermore, infant teachers' beliefs about their practice have been investigated very rarely until recently (Berthelsen & Brownlee, 2007; Degotardi, 2010). This may be in part because infant teach- ers' practice is seen as less educational or complex than preschool teachers', which is seen to entail more sophisticated decision pro- cesses. Consequently, there has been a lack of in-depth knowledge on actual infant teachers' practice and their rationale behind the practice. Many preservice and inservice teachers are not much less prepared for informed practice in responding to infants' play. To further our understanding of infant teachers' thinking and prac- tice, there is a need to for research which centers on teachers, details their roles in play, and articulates the rationale behind their practice. Also, given that the nature of infant group care settings is related to teachers' practices, teachers' roles should be inves- tigated in a natural group care setting over an extended period of time to document possible changes in practice, and the influ- ences of those changes, as infants grow and change. The present study takes on these inquiries by exploring infant teachers' roles in play on a daily basis over three months within a natural group care setting.
So far, there is no qualitative study that investigates how infant teachers' roles in play unfold in a group care setting. Even though quantitative research approaches are predominant in the major- ity of the studies on center-based child care and they accurately differentiate the quality of child care, qualitative research is neces- sary to offer "a richer understanding" of the processes involved in day to day interactions (Fenech, Sweller, & Harrison, 2010, p.293). Using a qualitative case study method, the present study first takes a microscopic approach by exploring what kinds of roles teachers take on in infants' play. Then, it takes a macroscopic approach by exploring how teachers' roles change over time. Find- ings from this study can provide insight for preservice and inservice teachers into the nature of infant teachers' work and expand their perspectives on teaching and caring through play in infant care settings.
Research Questions
1. What roles do infant teachers take on in infants' play in a group care setting?
2. How do teachers' roles change over time?
1. Method
The purpose of this study was to deliver a "thick description" of teachers' actual practice in play and their in-depth rationale behind their practice, thereby gaining a deeper understanding of the complexities of teachers' practices in infant group care set- tings (Merriam, 1998, p.31). Thus, it was important to invest an extended period of time with the teachers, observing and interact- ing with them, so as to understand an insiders' view of their daily experiences, therefore, qualitative case study was deliberately cho- sen (Dyson & Genishi, 2005). Due to its "richness and diversity" as
a research method (Marshall & Rossman, 1999, p.61), case study enabled me to be immersed in the setting, to become close to the teachers' experiences, and to reflect on what was experienced at the setting (Stake, 2005).

.1. Site and participants
After the research proposal was approved by the Institutional eview Board (IRB), I began searching for possible sites, using "pur- oseful sampling" (Merriam, 1998, p.61). After I contacted several
ocal child care centers in New York City, a university-based child are center was invited to be involved in the research because f its dedication to child-centered education and play-based cur- iculum. The center had one infant room where Emily (the head eacher), Irene (the co-teacher), and Katie (the graduate assistant eacher) worked with eight infants. First, I contacted the teachers ia email to explain the purpose of the study and its methods, ask- ng whether they would be interested in participating in the study. ll three teachers returned positive responses via email within two eeks. Then, I individually met with them, explaining the study in etails and describing what might be possible discomfort due to y presence in their room, as well as the potential benefit of their
rofessional growth through reflection. I also ensured the confi- entiality of their participation. All three teachers volunteered to articipate in the study.
The infant room had four additional part-time student teach- rs who rotated working during the weekdays, contributing to a ow infant–teacher ratio (3:1 or less). The setting implemented a rimary caregiver system such that each teacher became a key aregiver for certain infants, responsible for consistently provid- ng individualized care, keeping records, and establishing a secure elationship with their key infants (Margetts, 2005).
Although the focus of the study was on the teachers, the infants ere also observed as the teachers got involved in their play. I
ocused on the infants who were older than 12 months, although ounger infants (0–12 months) were capable and active players Lee, 2006), because there were only limited studies on caregiver's lay with infants between 12 to 24 months. At the time of the study, our infants (Hannah, Ava, Matt, Isabel) were identified, but Han- ah came to the center only once or twice a week. Thus, observation as mainly focused on the teachers' play with Ava, Matt, and Isabel,
ll of whom were 15-months-old at the beginning of the study and ere returning from the previous year at the center. The descrip-
ion of the teachers and their key infants is presented in Table 1. All he names are pseudonyms.
.2. Data sources and analysis
The methods of data collection included observations, inter- iews, emails, on-going conversations, and reflective notes. Data ollection began on September 4, 2007, the first day on the cen- er calendar, and lasted for 12 weeks until November 23, 2007. observed the teachers inside the classroom as well as from
he observation room four days a week during the free choice ime (8:45–11:00 AM or 11:30 depending on the weather and the nfants' schedule). During the observations, running records were sed to note teachers' and infants' verbal behaviors (e.g., talk,
M.A. in ECE B.A. (Expect to obtain M.A. in ECE in 6 months)
exclamation) and nonverbal behaviors (e.g., facial expression, ges- ture, mood, action), and I typed them into MS-Word files later. The observation notes were composed of play episodes, which were the unit of analysis in this study (Genishi, 1981). Each play episode necessitated three elements; infant play, teacher involvement, and a beginning and ending moment of the play. The definition of play used for the study followed from the teachers' definition of play described during their first interviews, which was an infant's vol- untary and exploratory behavior. If there were an element of infant play and teacher involvement regardless of who initiated the play, it was regarded as an episode. The total number of the episodes for each participant is: Emily (n = 124), Katie (n = 122), and Irene (n = 91).
In order to ensure trustworthiness, I used reflective notes, 'member checking,' and ongoing conferencing with a senior researcher. On each reflective note, I wrote down my preconcep- tions related to infant play and teachers' roles and my expectations about the study results. This helped me to critically examine my pre-assumptions about the study, and to continuously think about alternative ways to read and analyze the data (Bogdan & Biklen, 2003). I also sent the participants the observation notes via email to ask for their feedback as 'member checking' (Janesick, 1994). They sometimes responded with detailed explanations about the notes. Ongoing conferences with a senior researcher helped me with further reflection on data analysis.
Additional visits, emails, and casual conversations were also utilized to provide clarification of observed behaviors. Individual semi-structured 60–90 minute interviews were conducted with each participant three times, in the beginning (Interview #1: Emily- Sept. 7, Irene-Sept. 14, Katie-Sept. 10), in the middle (Interview #2: Emily-Oct. 18, Irene-Oct. 25, Katie-Oct. 19), and at the end of the research period (Interview #3: Emily-Nov. 20, Irene-Nov. 21, Katie-Nov. 23). This afforded time for the participants to share their present thoughts and reflect on their experiences related to the study. During the interviews, I asked the teachers about their beliefs about infants, play, and teachers' roles. Their reflections on cur- rent practice and their personal/professional experiences related to play were also discussed since teachers' beliefs are influenced by these factors (Schoonmaker & Ryan, 1996; Williams, 1996). The interviews were transcribed on the day of the interview.
I organized all the collected data in chronological order. Each episode was indicated by the week of its occurrence and the episode number for a particular teacher. For example, Irene's episode W10 EP75 indicated that it was Irene's 75th episode and occurred on the 10th week from the first day of data collection, which was the week of November 5th.
The present study used inductive analysis and the data guided what to look for during data analysis (Hatch, 2002). Originally I
set out to explore the teachers' roles in play. As the study pro- ceeded, the teachers' interview and observation data informed me that their roles were changing in relation to the infants' growth and infant–teacher relationship development over time. Thus, I

You cannot call it a shopping fever. There is nothing of the kind as Mylaporeans prepare to celebrate the festival of Deepavali.
The rains may have kept away but the shopping buzz was evident only in patches and a few places though it got a tad frenetic Thursday onwards.
Stores on TTK Road and C P Ramaswamy Road in Alwarpet, both shopping hubs were lit up. Well-known boutique Shilpi had for the second year, a late evening to midnight sale, allowing its clients time and space to shop in peace.
R. K. Mutt Road, badly lit by street lamps got its extra life from the multi-coloured illumination across the shops opposite Sri Kapali Temple tank.
The big rush was into Sri Murugan Stores – a place which offers clothes to adults and children with lots of variety. Inside, the floors were packed with shoppers.
Here and there were pandals created in regular stores selling fire crackers.
On North Mada Street, a few jewellery stores – NAC, Chola and Sukra – beckoned shoppers. Grand Sweets & Snacks on the same road displayed a variety of sweets and savouries and had a busy evening. As was the Suriya Sweets shop on South Mada Street.
The nattu marundhu shops on Bazaar Road were busy rolling out the lehiyam, charging Rs.50 for a pack.
The owner of Sri Murugan Store here said that his clients would double on the eve of the festival.

A new association called Cellular Agriculture Europe has been formed to represent the interests of the cultivated products industry. The association has just held its first General Assembly meeting, where a Board of Directors was elected.
13 member companies took part in the meeting, and the following Board was chosen:
- Chris Dammann, Chief Operating Officer of Bluu Biosciences.
- Etienne Duthoit, CEO and Co-Founder of Vital Meat.
- Robert E. Jones, Head of Public Affairs at Mosa Meat (elected President of the Board).
- Beth Loberant, Head of Regulatory Affairs at SuperMeat.
- Hélène Miller, Head of European Affairs at Aleph Farms.
Participants at the meeting agreed that the mission of Cellular Agriculture Europe would be to bring together stakeholders and producers of cultivated products and ingredients, finding a shared voice that would benefit the industry, consumers, and regulators.
According to Cellular Agriculture Europe, the cultivated industry will be a "powerful new tool" that will help meet the environmental goals in the EU's Horizon Europe and Farm to Fork schemes. Farm to Fork is a strategy that will trigger a shift away from intensive animal agriculture and towards smaller-scale farming.
But while this is progress, meeting climate targets will also require a transition to alternative sources of protein. Recognising this, Horizon Europe has allocated millions in funding to the development of sustainable proteins, including cultivated meat.
"I am excited and honoured to serve as the first President of Cellular Agriculture Europe," said Mr. Robert E. Jones. "Addressing the role the food system plays in the climate crisis is a pressing need. Cellular agriculture will add a powerful tool to the collective effort to create a healthier and greener food system in Europe."

What Glucophage Is
Glucophage is an oral medication against type 2 diabetes. Its active substance called metformin balances the blood sugar levels and helps to avoid or slow down the dangerous effects of diabetes on the body. Glucophage is normally prescribed as a part of complex treatment that combines exercise, diet, and medications to maintain healthy blood sugar levels. Glucophage is usually recommended for patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Sometimes the drug is prescribed in a combination with other remedies including insulin. However, note that Glucophage does not treat type 1 diabetes.
Recommendations for Use, Dosage, and Overdose
Glucophage dosage depends on the age of the patient, severity of condition, other health issues, and current therapies. On average, 500 mg daily dose, taken either once or divided into two times a day, is enough to ensure normal blood sugar. The maintenance dose equals to 2,000 mg a day used in divided doses. The maximum daily dose should not exceed 2,550 mg. Your doctor may also advise you to take vitamin B12 while you are taking Glucophage.
Take the drug exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Follow all the directions on your prescription, label, and instruction sheets. Depending on your response, your doctor may occasionally adjust your dose. Use the drug exactly as instructed.
Take Glucophage with food, unless your doctor says otherwise. If Glucophage was prescribed with an interval once a day, it is normally taken with the evening meal. Follow your doctor's directions.
Since Glucophage is an extended-release medication, do not crush, chew, or break the pills. Swallow the pill whole.
Glucophage pill has a coating that is not fully absorbed or digested in the body. You may find fragments of this coating in your stool. This is normal and does not influence the effectiveness of the drug.
Sometimes misuse or wrong dosage of Glucophage may cause blood sugar to drop too low and create hypoglycemia. Its symptoms are hunger, dizziness, irritability, confusion, anxiety, or shaky feeling. To restore proper sugar levels, eat or drink something that contains quickly-released sugar (juice, crackers, hard candy, dried fruits, or soda). In case you experience severe hypoglycemia, your doctor can prescribe a glucagon injection kit. Make sure you, your family, and friends know how to give you this shot in case of an emergency.
Blood sugar levels can also be affected by illness, stress, surgery, excessive exercise or lack of it, alcohol, or skipping meals. Tell your doctor about any contributing factors before changing your therapy schedule or dose.
Glucophage is only a part of comprehensive treatment that also includes exercise, diet, regular blood sugar testing, weight control, etc. Follow your doctor's directions very carefully.
If you accidentally forget to take the medicine on time, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed one. Do not take two doses at a time to compensate the missed one.
Keep in mind that overdose can lead to lactic acidosis or severe hypoglycemia. If you suspect an overdose, get urgent medical help.
Precautions and Contraindications
Glucophage cannot be used by patients allergic to metformin or those who have severe kidney condition, metabolic acidosis or diabetic ketoacidosis.
If you need a surgery, an X-ray or a CT scan with a contrast agent, you may have to temporarily discontinue Glucophage. Make sure your healthcare providers know in advance that you are taking this medication.
To ensure that the treatment with Glucophage is safe for you, tell your doctor if you have had any of the following in your medical history:
- Kidney disease (you might need to run a few tests on your kidney function before proceeding to Glucophage therapy);
- High ketones in your blood or urine;
- Heart condition, congestive heart failure;
- Liver disease;
- If you are using insulin or other anti-diabetic medication.
Sometimes diabetic patients may develop lactic acidosis which is a dangerous build-up of lactic acid in your blood. In this regard, patients with other medical conditions, chronic alcoholism, severe infection, or older than 65 are particularly vulnerable. Ask your doctor if you are at risk.
Follow your doctor's orders about Glucophage treatment particularly carefully if you are or have become pregnant. Controlling blood sugar is highly important during pregnancy as high blood sugar levels may cause complications for both the mother and the baby. If you become pregnant while using Glucophage, tell your doctor right away.
Metformin may stimulate ovulation in premenopausal women and increase the risk of unwanted pregnancy. Consult your doctor about your risk and applicable methods of birth control.
Glucophage passes into breast milk and may cause harm to the baby. Therefore, breastfeeding is not advised while on this drug.
Glucophage cannot be used for children under 10. Glucophage XR is meant for adult patients only (older than 18).
Interactions with Other Drugs and Substances
Certain drug interactions may change the effectiveness of the medications or increase the chances of serious side effects. Tell your doctor about all the products that you are using (both prescription and over-the-counter medications, vitamins, herbal products). Do not start, discontinue or change the dose of any drugs on your own without your doctor's approval.
Beta-blockers (such as propranolol, metoprolol, glaucoma eye drops such as timolol) may help to avoid the fast pounding heartbeat that sometimes happens when your blood sugar drops too low (hypoglycemia). However, they will not help with other symptoms of hypoglycemia, such as hunger, dizziness, or sweating. Remember to eat something as soon as possible if you feel hypoglycemic.
Many drugs (especially those that contain sugar or artificial sweeteners) can affect your blood sugar. Before you make any changes to your medications or go on any new treatment, ask your doctor about how the medication can affect your problem. It is strongly advised for diabetic patients to check their blood sugar levels regularly. Tell your doctor at once if you feel the symptoms of either high or low blood sugar. They may have to adjust your treatment, diet, or exercise program.
Side Effects
Common Glucophage side effects include nausea, upset stomach, vomiting, diarrhea, fatigue, and a metallic taste in the mouth. They normally pass as your body adjusts to metformin. However, if any of these effects persist or get worse, tell your doctor right away. Keep in mind that stomach symptoms occurring after a few days of your treatment may indicate lactic acidosis. Another thing to remember is that you should not be discouraged from treatment if you experience any side effects. Your doctor has prescribed Glucophage because he/she thinks that the benefit from treatment for you is greater than the risk of side effects. A lot of people taking this medication do not experience severe side effects.
Metformin does not normally cause low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). But it may occur due to other factors (like exhaustion or skipping meals) or if the drug is taken with other diabetes medications. The symptoms of hypoglycemia include shaking, sudden sweating, fast heartbeat, hunger, dizziness, blurred vision, and tingling sensations in your hands and feet. It is recommended to always have glucose tablets, gel or a quick-release source of sugar such as honey, candy, table sugar, fruit juice or non-diet soda with you. The risk of hypoglycemia is increased with alcohol consumption, intense exercise, or low-calorie diet. To prevent low blood sugar, create and adhere to a regular eating schedule. If you still get hypoglycemic often and suspect that the medication can be the cause, talk to your doctor about lowering the dose or changing the drug.
In the opposite case, if the dose you are taking is too low and not enough to reduce blood sugar, the symptoms of hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) may occur. These include increased urination, thirst, confusion, flushing, drowsiness, rapid breathing, and fruity breath odor. If you experience these symptoms, talk to your doctor about making the necessary adjustments to your treatment or increasing the dose.
In rare cases metformin can build up in your body and lead to a serious (sometimes lethal) condition called lactic acidosis. It is more likely to occur in vulnerable patients from risk groups: older patients, with a severe kidney or liver condition, heart failure, dehydration, alcoholism. Lactic acidosis may also occur due to certain drug interactions, surgery, an X-ray or a CT scan with iodinated contrast. If you are to have these procedures, you may have to discontinue Glucophage treatment for a while. If you experience the symptoms of lactic acidosis, such as dizziness, severe sleepiness, unusual tiredness, chills, muscle pain, blue or cold skin, short and obstructed breathing, slow or irregular heartbeat, stomach pain with diarrhea/nausea/vomiting, stop taking the medication at once and get emergency medical help.
A serious allergic reaction to Glucophage is rare. However, if you notice any of the following symptoms, such as rash, severe dizziness, itching or swelling (especially in the face/throat/tongue), shortness of breath, get medical help right away.
Keep in Mind
Provide your doctor with full information about your medical history, any currently taken drugs, or any special circumstances such as allergies, breastfeeding, pregnancy, etc.
Do not share your medications with other people, even if their symptoms are similar to yours. Keep the pills away from children and store them in a dry and ventilated place.
Inform your doctor about any bodily response you experience. If you have any strong side effects, call your doctor immediately.

Sensirion closes H1 2022 with solid growth
Strong customer demand for Sensirion's latest environmental sensor solutions in addition to a further decrease of its lead times despite the continued challenging global supply chain circumstances resulted in 14.2% revenue growth year over year. The now normalized pandemic-driven demand for ventilator sensors was compensated by another one-off special event from the medical market, which was due to a large-scale replacement campaign by a major CPAP customer. Long term strategic objectives are on track and remain unchanged despite moderate short-term slowdown effects and low visibility on the markets. Consolidated revenue amounted to CHF 164.8 million, and the gross and EBITDA margins reached high values of 59.7% and 29.6% respectively.
Annual General Meeting approves all proposals
Due to the ongoing situation caused by the spread of COVID-19 (coronavirus), the Annual General Meeting of Sensirion Holding AG was held again without the physical presence of shareholders. In accordance with the COVID-19 Ordinance 3 of the Swiss Federal Council, shareholder rights could exclusively be exercised through the independent proxy. The Annual General Meeting was held on the premises of Sensirion Holding AG's company headquarters in Stäfa.

This is absolutely Classic Charles Bronson. Tough Guy Manifesto. And it's sure to please.
So, find the Movie. Pop some Popcorn and Enjoy!
Warren Stacey (Gene Davis) is a young office equipment repairman who kills women after they reject his sexual advances. His attempts at flirting are always seen as "creepy" by women, resulting in frequent rejections.[4] His first victim is Betty (June Gilbert), an office worker of his acquaintance. He tracks her down to a wooded area, and observes her having sex with her boyfriend. He ambushes the couple, kills the boyfriend and then gives chase to the naked woman. He catches her and stabs her to death.[4]
Two Los Angeles police detectives, Leo Kessler (Charles Bronson) and Paul McAnn (Andrew Stevens), investigate his murders. Kessler is a seasoned veteran of the force, while McAnn is considerably younger.[4] Stacey avoids prosecution by constructing sound alibis and assaulting his victims while naked except for a pair of latex gloves to hide fingerprints, thus minimizing evidence.
Laurie Kessler (Lisa Eilbacher) is the only daughter of Leo and an acquaintance to some of the victims. A student nurse herself, she becomes a target for the killer.[4] McAnn refuses to go along when Kessler plants evidence in order to frame the suspect. Stacey goes on another rampage, killing three nursing students who are friends with Kessler's daughter.
He is eventually caught, stark naked in the street. Stacey boasts how he will say all the things that will "prove" that he is crazy: he hears voices ordering him to do things, etc., so that one day, he will be back on the street and Kessler, as well as the "whole fucking world," will hear from him again. Kessler replies, "No, we won't." He then shoots Stacey once in the forehead, executing him and leaving all other considerations aside. Kessler stands over the body, surrounded by police.

Soyjak Wiki was temporaily down in order to upgrade to a faster LEMP stack. Pages should load significantly faster than before.
Tranime, otherwise known as Japanese animation, is a form of cartoons created in Japan. Tranime can vary a lot between genres, styles, music, etc... Although tranime often has generic traits that make it easy to spot such as realistic backgrounds, somewhat realistic proportions or anatomy and the blatantly obvious Japanese language but there is always exceptions.
Popular tranime genres includes
- Moe
- Slice of Life
- Shounen (Manime)
- Fantasy
- Romance
- Pedobait
Reception[edit | edit source]
Soyteens have always hated Tranime and put it down with justified claims such as that "Tranime causes people to go trans" because every single tranny seems to be into tranime.
We get the sub-human containment board /a/ (which was, for a brief period, no longer contained and was unleashed on /soy/ due to the 5-board plan), used by individuals who obsess over tranime/Japan all day long and consooming the next japanese product. A way to detect /a/ users is when they post a tranime reaction image anywhere on the internet. Those ought to be publicly shamed and stoned for their lack of decency for humanity, and everyone should contribute into perishing the /a/ sub-species. Another way to detect an /a/ beast is seeing any japanese flag on imageboards such as /int/ because it's clearly just some american using a japanese proxy, as the japanese are too busy working and being cucked (and that's a good thing!) to actually post on imageboards unlike the american NEETS.
/a/'s mental illness goes far beyond just posting ranime reaction images and identifying as those supposedly underage female characters. /a/ not only engages in sub-human waifu worshipping activities but also actually wanks off to all kinds of things and that's generally OK but then it only becomes a problem when they begin to sexualize trannies with their over the top "futa" fetish, the impact this had on the troon community was severe and caused many impressionable individuals to troon out and THIS IS NOT OKAY. /a/ cannot fathom anything that isn't tranime or manga on their imageboard, their entire minds will be broken by seeing something that isn't tranime for once, as their autism irrealities are shattered and they'll be reminded of real life, which causes /a/ to persecute soyjaks, frogs and any other opponent meme that hits too close to home. In an attempt to fight those who oppose them, they shall screech "TRANIME WEBSITE!!!", although our researchers have been trying to find the meaning behind such a screech. Every attempt so far was unsuccessful, therefore we shall keep posting soyjaks on /a/ until we finally get to understand their way of communicating.
/a/ also thinks that Yotsoyba is somehow sacred, with most of them having read the manga and wishing there was a tranime or live-action roleplay as true pureblooded oldfags.
On Soyjak.party[edit | edit source]
Trannies oppose soyteens' justfied view on tranime and calling it (((anime))) the second they see it, while the other side (even SOOT) notices that soyjak.party was never actually supposed to be friendly towards tranime from the start. Given not only the containment /a/ board but the long-gone containment /holo/ board.
soyjak.party was tranime-unfriendly from the start. This was confirmed by one of the mods on /tv/ expressing hatred of moe-style cuckime, while Cirnonigger was spamming the site a few days into the creation of soyjak.party. /a/ was created as a containment board to bully and dab on the weebs. The average cuckime poster on soyjak.party is either an emasculated nu-male, or a tranny larper.
Quotes from tranime posters:[edit | edit source]
- "I am extremely autistic and low functioning. I watch anime because my ADHD prevents me from paying attention to anything that does not have flashy colors, squealing or exaggerated scenery. Anime emotions are usually big, loud, and dramatic, making them easier to read than real-world emotions which helps my mental retardation. I am also drawn to characters designed ambiguously and gender reversed roles to cope with my homosexuality. I cannot comprehend real life responsibilities, have zero social awareness and cannot understand satire or criticism"
- "I am still a man. It's just that I overreact. I still have my penis and testicles because it would be disturbing for me to feel like a w*man."
- "People that seethe about my folder of underage naked cartoon girls are either pedophiles, faggots, or both."
HOW TO DRAW TRANIME!11[edit | edit source]
- Make a round huge head
- Make huge round eyes
- Ignore any masculine facial features unless you're aiming for homosexuals or spics. Tranime male characters are sissy-like, usually.
- Make any character look underage, claim he is actually above 18.
- Erase all of your progress because drawing from scratch would be a waste of time so just go and grab a base image off from deviantart[2]
- Make your brand new tranime.
- Done, your tranime is completed!
Designing a tranime character[edit | edit source]
You wouldn't need much mental work for this part, as tranime is completely soulless and derived of all creativity and imagination, if you're designing a female character that is supposed to be cute or adorable according to sub-humans then you'll have to make her mentally challenged and constantly be silly, even if this is done countless times the sub-humans will always fall for it.

Manime[edit | edit source]
Son Goku ( 'Son Gokū'), born Kakarot (カカロット'Kakarotto'), was the main protagonist of the Dragon Ball series. Goku is a Saiyan originally sent to destroy Earth as an infant, but failed hilariously. However, that kino scenario was RET to the CONNED and Goku is now a Saiyan that was sent to Earth from his parents in order to save their child. Goku was picked up by Grandpa Gohan and received a head injury at an early age which alters his memory, ridding him of his initial destructive nature, forgetting his parents, getting sexually abused by a perverted old drunk groomer and allowing him to grow up to become one of Earth's greatest retard warriors[1][2]. He constantly strives and trains (read: zenkai or receives handouts) to be the greatest warrior possible like the Saiyan spaz that he is, which has kept the Earth and the universe safe from destruction many times (often brought upon it by TARDku). Actually, he didn't even make it to adulthood without the help of Daddy's Wish upon Toronbo-sama keeping him alive. The moment it expired so too did he and his forgotten brother. KAKArot (also known as SHITku) was flushed the moment the dragon's interventions ended.
To this very day, he has not kissed his wife, he hopes that Bejita will eventually do it for him...

The Women of Leslieville Farmers' Market – Part 2
This week's feature: Hello Betina – Jams, Mustards, Preserves & Bread – Spent Good
Carol is a one of the sweetest and kindest souls you will encounter at The Leslieville Farmers' Market. She embodies the Latin American spirit in her jams and preserves. For Carol, "Hello Betina" was a hobby that became a business. Her Brazilian childhood was surrounded by love and by family staying together in the kitchen. Everyone was a cook in the family. In fact, her Banana Jam is the original recipe from her dad's mother.
Another reason to love "Hello Betina" is for the ingredients in her jams and preserves. She turns second grade fruit (that would have otherwise gone to the garbage) into a first-grade product. "Hello Betina" not only produces a local product but also aims to combat food waste!
If you don't fall in love with Carol's radiant personality right away (which would be a difficult task on its own), you will fall in love with her products. Cooking for her is like therapy. "The hands are extensions of the heart," Carol commented. Her love will heal you and you will have an experience through her products. I can attest from experience that her Rose Berry Mustard is divine, giving feelings of sweetness and warmth afterwards. You can also find products from "Spent Good" at her booth.

Home В» Blog В» Should I utilize My RRSP to settle financial obligation?
This really is our very first Technical Tidbits version of Debt complimentary in 30, a faster version of our podcast where we answer only one listener concern.
Today's real question is: Should I utilize cash in my own RRSP to repay financial obligation?
Lots of people will give consideration to cashing away their investments, such as an RRSP, to cover their debt down making obligations more workable.
Even though this appears like a good concept, below are a few explanations why cashing in your RRSP isn't the solution that is best for paying off the debt:
Look for professional advice. Talk to an insolvency that is licensed to talk about your circumstances, review all of your choices and appear with an idea that's right for you personally.
RRSPs are protected in a bankruptcy. In a customer proposition you retain all assets retirement that is including. Filing a customer proposition or individual bankruptcy will eradicate all or much of your debts and start to become allowed to help keep your assets (minus contributions produced in the very last one year).
Additionally, eliminating your financial situation in a bankruptcy or customer proposal can help rebuild your credit rating and offer you with future monetary possibilities that you won't best payday loans in Cornwall have by only paying down a portion of your debts utilizing your RRSP money. Of these debt settlement solutions, you'll discover healthy monetary practices to ensure when you get free from financial obligation, you stay away from financial obligation.
When contemplating debt settlement choices, it is crucial to consider term that is long. Although cashing within an RRSP may seem like a magic pill for|fix that is quick getting out of financial obligation, it is only a band-aid solution that may result in larger dilemmas as soon as you're forced to rely on that savings in your your retirement.
If you should be thinking about withdrawing money from your RRSP to repay financial obligation, e mail us today for a free of charge consultation to share with you your options that may protect your retirement.
The clear answer will depend on:
This appears to be a relatively simple question to answer on the surface. In the event that you owe cash, and you have one thing of value, it seems sensible to show your asset into cash you can make use of to cover your debt off.
In the event that you have an older automobile which you not any longer require, it seems sensible to market it and make use of the money to cover your credit card off. It's a no brainer.
But RRSPs will vary, plus they are various as a result of one small three letter word:
In the event that you purchased your vehicle for $5,000 four years back and you also sell it now for $3,000, you don't need to pay any income tax regarding the sale, since you didn't earn any earnings. In reality, in this example, you theoretically destroyed cash, so you end up getting to help keep the complete $3,000 and also you don't need to worry about having to pay any income tax.
It's totally different having an RRSP.
You must include the $3,000 in your income, and you pay tax on that $3,000 at whatever your marginal tax rate is if you take $3,000 out of your RRSP.
That's because an RRSP just isn't a real way to truly save income tax; it is ways to defer tax. You obtain an income tax break once you donate to your RRSP, however you spend tax whenever you are taking it out.
The idea is you are working and in your high tax earning years, and you take the money out when you are retired and in a lower tax bracket that you contribute to your RRSP when. Is reasonable.
But if you are nevertheless working and just take cash from your RRSP, you might still take a high taxation bracket, which means you spend lots of taxation in the withdrawal.
What's worse, you might not even understand exactly exactly how much taxation you will need to spend.
In the event that you withdraw under $5,000 from your own RRSP, the financial institution, in Ontario, will withhold 10% for taxation. But at the conclusion associated with entire year, if however you be when you look at the 40% taxation bracket, you need to spend 40% in income tax. You merely paid 10% up front, so shock, you wind up owing another 30%, or $1,500 in this example. That's a bite that is big.
Therefore, back into our question: should you take money from the RRSP to spend your debt off?
You have to determine simply how much you shall wind up spending in income tax once you do. You take out $10,000, you really only get to keep $6,000 once your taxes are filed and paid if you are in the 40% tax bracket and.
Can it be worthwhile to reduce $10,000 from your RRSP to have $6,000 to repay debt?
Perhaps, perhaps not.
An element of the choice varies according to simply how much you're having to pay in interest on your own debt. For those who have $6,000 in payday loans at a massive rate of interest, and when you might be only making 1% in your RRSP, it is most likely a straightforward decision to make use of the funds to cover your debt off.
When you yourself have a home loan at 3% interest, cashing in your RRSP and using a huge income tax hit probably isn't worthwhile, until you actually want to be debt free.
But just what when you have a whole lot debt, state $50,000, $60,000 or maybe more owing on bank cards, loans from banks, income taxes, as well as other unsecured outstanding debts?
In the event that you don't have sufficient in your RRSP to cash it in, pay the taxation, and spend down the money you owe in complete, there clearly was another choice.
Than you can handle, and if you are behind on your bill payments and collection agents are calling, it may be time to consider a consumer proposal or personal bankruptcy if you have more debt.
Here's the point that is key
You'll be able to get bankrupt rather than lose your RRSP.
The Bankruptcy & Insolvency Act, that will be federal legislation, states therefore.
Section 67 of this Bankruptcy & Insolvency Act says that, in the event that you go bankrupt, your trustee isn't permitted to just take your RRSP, aside from your contributions within the last few one year.
Therefore, that you haven't contributed to in the last year, and you go bankrupt, the trustee can't take your RRSP if you have an RRSP.
When you have an RRSP through work you add $100 each month to, and you also've been contributing for ten years, whatever you lose could be the $1,200 you've added within the last few one year.
So for those who have $50,000 in debts which can be significantly more than it is possible to ever aspire to repay, plus an RRSP with cost savings accumulated from ahead of the past 12 months, a customer proposal or bankruptcy can be a good choice. You are able to clear up your financial situation, and not lose your RRSP.

There are a lot of lenders in the market that offers a great choice of rates and options for first time buyer mortgage.

Bev Hills
I don't know what it is, but I always feel extra fancy when I am walking around Beverly Hills.
I don't know what it is, but I always feel extra fancy when I am walking around Beverly Hills.
Pink Blazer: ZARA ::: Parrot Pattern Shorts: Forever 21 ::: There's nothing better than having that piece of clothing that automatically makes you feel that much more cooler. This blazer my friends is that item that I am taking about. Yes its summer, which means layers are out of the question. I mean, thats just, like, the rules of feminism!(I had to call out my Mean Girl Movie) but the smooth woven fabric of the blazer keeps the layers very thin perfect for those summer days. It is very easy to wear specially when those unpredictable weather changes in So Cal. From sunny hot days to in this case rainy hot day. {BACKGROUND INFO} I thanked my lucky Stars that I wore this blazer because right after these shots were done it started to pour. Instead of complaining we; my photographer boyfriend and I, decided to make the most of it and take a walk in the rain. I wish I could say my toes stayed dried on this walk….so romantic ❤
Have you ever had an item of clothing that you've had for long time and just can't seem to let go? Thats what I'm going through more than ever now. I call it deniably-hoarding. I see all my items of clothing as a treasure, like a hunter catching its "prize" I too hang my clothing in a specific way: color coordinating, texture season. All my items have been bought from the local Forever 21 to small unknown boutiques, and my favorite Thrift stores. Its my world, at the end I want to be able to say "I've Hoarded the World." Each single item of clothing in this outfit is 3 or more years old and my gorgeous Oxfords are the first big fashion brand that I have owned…they call him Marc Jacobs.
{Skirt: Forever 21, Top: Forever 21, Watch Marc Jacobs, Heels: Target, Bag: made for me by a local artist} Hi guys it has been a while that I have spoken to you and let me just start by saying it feels good to post something new to share with you all. I just started my last semester in College and it has definitely been a crazy schedule. One moment I am at work (early in the AM) and the next I am school. Its hard to keep up with everything from my friends to family. I know that all this struggles that I am facing in life will be worth it. I am one step closer to receiving my AA degree in business and that is literally talking, by the end of December I will be receiving my degree. The city. So many beautiful things to say about it. Since i was younger I viewed Down Town Los Angeles as a hidden treasure. Every corner brings something different. From the Disney Hall, the art …
{American Apparel dress, heels purchased in Amazon, Ivanka Trump purse, Marc Jacobs watch, Thrift Store accessories} Hello everyone, Once again I find myself having a small hiatus from my blog and it is something that breaks my heart. From the end of another school year to a daily 8 to 5 job. I find myself struggling with finding time to do what I love to do. I managed to find the time I needed and enjoy the three day weekend we just had. I love enjoying the weekends as much as possible and stay away from sitting down, which is what I do at my office job. The outfit that I wore was different from the rest. I wanted to feel extra fancy this day so I put the dress that always makes me feel so lady like and ended with my dear Penny Lane by my side and witness the beautiful sunset.
