Information Concerning Zootly
Launched in 2015, Manhattan based Zootly is poised to revolutionize the moving industry, starting with Greater New York City area, the largest moving-industry market in the United States. Zootly's technology platform is the first to manage trucks, logistics, and load sizes while seamlessly integrating Department of Transportation requirements for residential movers. The technology, which is provided in an omni-channel format for consumption via web, mobile, and tablet, seamlessly integrates a consumer application and a driver side application and leverages proprietary logistics software to manage consumer and commercial requests with trucks, timing, logistics and load sizes.
As "Collaborative Economy" business models involve the identification of the excess capacity of underutilized assets has generated some of the most innovative new businesses in the world today, as evidenced by Uber Technologies Inc.'s ("Uber") success in ride sharing and Airbnb, Inc. ("Airbnb") in rental accommodations. The Zootly collaborative economy strategy is uniquely positioned to solve a number of issues for the moving and logistics industry. Traditionally, a very paper intensive industry with an under-utilization of 50% for trucks and staff at any given time, Zootly brings moving companies a technology solution to manage their fleet logistics, as well as qualified acquisitions in both residential and commercials movers. As a technology and marketing company, Zootly provides scale and expertise in digital customer acquisition that no single moving company could command on their own.

Information Concerning the Proposed Transaction
Ethos and Zootly have entered into the letter of intent setting out certain terms and conditions pursuant to which the proposed Transaction will be completed. The Transaction terms set out in the letter of intent are non-binding, and the Transaction is subject to the parties successfully negotiating and entering into a definitive business combination agreement in respect of the Transaction (the "Definitive Agreement") on or before November 20, 2015 or such other date as Ethos and Zootly may mutually agree to.
It is anticipated that the completion of the Transaction will involve the following steps:
(i) subject to shareholder approval, Ethos will consolidate the outstanding Ethos Shares on a 3 to 1 basis (the "Consolidation"), so that following the Consolidation, Ethos will have 14,486,304 Ethos Shares issued and outstanding and 745,000 Ethos Options exercisable at prices ranging from CAD$0.45 to CAD$2.07;
(ii) Ethos will then issue post-Consolidation Ethos Shares to the holders of the Zootly Units in exchange for the Zootly Units on the basis of 2.656006784 post-Consolidation Ethos Shares for each Zootly Unit held (the "Exchange Ratio"), resulting in the issuance of approximately 35,120,388 post-Consolidation Ethos Shares to Zootly's current members (and approximately 49,051,404 post-Consolidation Ethos Shares to Zootly's members including members following completion of the Bridge Financing and Concurrent Financing as defined below);
(iii) the holders of the Zootly Options and Zootly Warrants will receive replacement stock options and warrants of Ethos in exchange for the Zootly Options and Zootly Warrants and on the basis of the Exchange Ratio, resulting in the issuance of Ethos stock options and warrants exercisable to acquire 5,472,593 post-Consolidation Ethos Shares at exercise prices adjusted in accordance with the Exchange Ratio; and
(iv) subject to shareholder approval, Ethos will change its name to "Zootly Holdings Corporation" or such other similar name as the parties may agree to.
It is expected that the share exchange will be structured as a three-cornered amalgamation in which Zootly will amalgamate with a newly incorporated or formed, wholly-owned subsidiary of Ethos to be formed solely for the purpose of facilitating the Transaction. Following the amalgamation, the amalgamated company will be a wholly owned subsidiary of Ethos and Ethos will be renamed "Zootly Holdings Corporation", or such other similar name as the parties may agree to. The final legal structure for the Transaction, however, will be determined after the parties have considered all applicable tax, securities law, and accounting efficiencies.
As a result of the amalgamation, the former holders of Zootly Units (including those Zootly Units issued pursuant to the Financings discussed below) will hold approximately 76% of the post-Consolidation Ethos Shares and the current holders of the Ethos Shares will hold approximately 24% of the post-Consolidation Ethos Shares.
The Transaction will not constitute a Non-Arm's Length Transaction (as such term is defined in the policies of the Exchange). No Insider, promoter or Control Person (as such terms are defined in the policies of the Exchange) of Ethos has any material interest in Zootly prior to giving effect to the Transaction.
Certain Ethos securities issuable under the Transaction will be subject to the escrow requirements of the Exchange and hold periods as required by applicable securities laws.
At a meeting of the shareholders of Ethos to be called in connection with the Transaction, the shareholders of Ethos will be asked to: (i) approve the Transaction; (ii) approve the Consolidation; (iii) approve the change of name to "Zootly Holdings Corporation" or such other similar name as the parties may agree to on closing of the Transaction; (iv) approve the continuation of Ethos into Ontario, if required; and (v) approve the appointment of the new directors as detailed below. The Transaction is also subject to approval by the members of Zootly, which will be sought at a meeting of the members of Zootly to be held as soon as practicable.
Prior to the completion of the Transaction, Zootly intends to complete a non-brokered bridge financing private placement (the "Bridge Financing") to raise up to USD$1,100,000 through the issuance of Zootly Units at a price of USD$1.02 per Zootly Unit. Certain finders may be paid a cash commission of 4% and be issued 4% broker warrants (each broker warrant exercisable to purchase one (1) Zootly Unit at a price of USD$1.02) in connection with the Bridge Financing.
In addition, prior to or concurrent with the completion of the Transaction, Zootly also intends to complete a private placement for minimum gross proceeds of USD$5,000,000 (the "Concurrent Financing") through the issuance of subscription receipts of Zootly (the "Subscription Receipts") at a price of USD$1.20 per subscription receipt. Each Subscription Receipt will entitle the holder to acquire one Zootly Unit for no additional consideration and will be automatically exercised for such units immediately prior to the completion of the Transaction. It is expected that the Concurrent Financing will be a brokered financing.
Under the Transaction, the Zootly security holders resulting from the Bridge Financing and the Concurrent Financing will receive post-Consolidation Ethos Shares (or securities convertible into post-Consolidation Ethos Shares, if applicable) in exchange for their Zootly securities, as applicable, on the basis of the Exchange Ratio.

We receive email like this one from CG, all the time:Hi. My husband is enlisting with the Army as we speak. He leaves for Basic/A.I.T in May. We have been married 12 years and have 3 young children. With him down in **** right now doing MEPS is hard on me. What can I do to help myself get through him being gone during Basic?
Most of the email asks about how to get through a deployment (more on that later), but here we have a wife who has been married for quite a while and is just starting her journey into military life. On top of the inevitable deployments she will face, she is new to military culture. When I married my husband, he was already in the Army so we didn't take the plunge together, but I would say that CG is off to a good start. The fact that I received this email tells me she has been on the internet looking for places like this one where spouses congregate to share their experiences. Plus, she's asking for suggestions, which is wonderful. I'd definitely tell her to find a virtual community and dive right in.
Anyone have advice for a wife who is just entering the ranks?
This is a perfect time for me to write more about Marc Maxwell, an Army veteran and DoD guidance counselor. Marc is the author of the fabulous book, 365 Days: Surviving Military Separation. This is a daily activity guide for the families of deployed service members, a journal and so much more. I can't recommend this highly enough for those of you who are dealing with a deployment. We spoke with Mark a couple of weeks ago on SBTR and it was an interesting conversation. Marc gave us some valuable information that I was unaware of.
If you feel you need help, whether you feel overloaded, stressed-out, are having trouble with reintegration, whatever it is - the Army is now offering a program that will give you a few free, one-on-one sessions. The great thing about these sessions is that they are confidential and the counselor does not take notes, so there's no record of the visit. There is a stigma and a worry that seeking help will adversely affect the career of the service member. These sessions are for the spouse, children or the service member. Although the program is currently set-up for the Army, Marc tells us that nobody will be turned away.
I asked Marc when someone should seek help and his reply was simply - If you're at the point where you're even asking the question, then you should seek help.
More on the program below:
The Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) recognized an emerging need to provide information support to Soldiers and families in addition to resident counseling services at installations. The Military Family Life Consultants (MFLC) Program uses licensed clinicians with Masters Degrees and at least five years experience in Social Work, Counseling, or related clinical discipline. Consultants are trained on military specific topics including basic orientation to the deployment cycle, military culture, the chain of command, and reporting requirements in accordance with Army Family Advocacy Program.
MFLC is an Army program designed to provide anonymous, confidential support to Soldiers and their family members, especially those returning from deployments. Units that return from deployment may request Life Consultants through Army Community Service. Program serves active duty and mobilized National Guard and Army Reserve soldiers and their families.
How Can MFLC Counselors Help?
MFLC Counselors can help you and your family problem solve with issues resulting from deployment, reunions, reintegration and other times of change including:
Marriage and Relationship Issues Family Issues Stress and Anxiety Depression Grief and Loss Anger management Parent and child communication
Soldiers and families are entitled to six prepaid, face-to-face counseling sessions. CALL: 1-888-755-9355

Independent touring bands have it tough. Aside from booking shows and gassing up the van and maintaining their energy for shows, they need to find a place to sleep and food to eat, and it all cuts into the tour budget which, for most bands, is slim. Feedbands hopes to play its own small role helping touring artists passing through Asheville with todays announcement: the launch of a farm where bands can sleep and eat free of charge and even play a show if they want.
Feedbands operates a farm in Asheville, North Carolina with the purpose of literally hosting and feeding bands. We organically grow Peas, Kale, Squash, Cucumbers, Melons, Cilantro, Dill, Hot Peppers, Blueberries, Raspberries, Blackberries, Service Berries, Nanking Cherries, Beach Plums, Paw Paws, Hardy Kiwis, Tomatoes, Cabbage, Corn, Arugula, Chard, Mustard, Garlic, Strawberries, Honey Berries, Elder Berries, Muscadine Grapes and more.
We had a goal in mind: to create a sanctuary; a haven where our band members could rest their weary feet, ingest the absolute best nourishment mother nature has to offer, and take a hot shower at no cost to them.
Bands of Feedbands are welcome to get in touch with us to arrange stays, tours, and even shows on our farm.
Contact [email protected]
All food grown on the Feedbands Farm is grown from organic seed. No synthetic pesticides or fertilizers are used.
We are dedicated to growing the cleanest, most nutritious, most delicious food humanly possible.
In addition to herbs, fruits, and vegetables, we have lots of animal friends on the farm too; chickens that roam freely and lay eggs, and three goats for milking.
None of the animals are for eating.

Emma loves to play music and write songs but hasn't had a guitar to do it with. She loves to play this guitar with an amp and rock out.

Last night we feasted. I know it is not Thanks giving, it is not even Christmas yet but it was Friday night. We own a food business so we have to try our products, right?
The bottle of wine came out to celebrate a good and busy week. The kids were excited to share their ginger bread house collection so the whole family gathered in the kitchen as dinner was made. It was to be an easy dinner. We had brought the end pieces to the smoked pork loins home after hand cutting the 1 inch thick tender pieces of meat at the butcher shop. They only have to be reheated and they are ready. The vegetables were cooking behind the two iron skillets which were used to brown the pieces of loin. As the kids talked in the background, Erick poured his glass of Sangria Mead by Oliver Winery over the chops. An amazing aroma of salt and sugar immediately filled the room. No one could wait for the dining room table to sample our dinner. The taste was simply amazing.
We have always said it is just one ingredient that is the difference between mediocre and amazing. At This Old Farm we strive to make that one specialty item for you. The quality of the meat matters. The cooking suggestions are important. We are here to help with both!

Salmon advocates recently requested a settlement judge be appointed by the Court to help improve the process of finding solutions to save endangered Columbia and Snake River salmon and steelhead. The federal agencies responded to the request today, stating that such a process is "improper and should be denied" and that instead "now is the time to stay the course."
The federal agencies appear to remain intransigent in their view that they will do no more than tweak a plan the courts have rejected in order to protect Columbia-Snake River salmon, despite the fact that the court said they should consider all options for saving salmon, and to sit down with others to craft a new, legally and scientifically sound plan.
"You'd have to believe in the tooth fairy to believe that the regional federal agencies are either truly consulting with all relevant parties in a meaningful way, or likely to develop a scientifically and legally responsible plan after failing miserably four times previously. It's time to drop the fantasy and put in place a real process that brings all the key stakeholders together to work in tandem with the Obama Administration and the agencies to forge a solution that will work for salmon, people and communities," stated Bill Arthur, National Field Director of the Sierra Club, in reaction to the federal response. The court will consider the Plaintiffs' request in the coming weeks.

Skip intro? See Top 5 in-ground basketball hoop
Especially when you have to play it in your driveway. You'd be lying to yourself if you think otherwise. Well, even if you do, this article will convince you to look the other way. And buy the best in-ground basketball hoop for you and your family.
My Best Choices (5 Best In-Ground Basketball Hoop System)
I want to keep things short and simple. Basically, the point here is to find you compare the top 5 choices for an in-ground basketball hoop system. And this comparison table lets you do that. In the most efficient, transparent, and systematic manner! Don't you agree?
Best Budget In-Ground Basketball Hoop Picks (Under $350)
Lifetime 71525 Height Adjustable In-Ground Basketball System
You're going to read about of the most impressive basketball hoops on the market. From what I've marked about this best in-ground basketball hoop, here is my observation:
The durability of this hoop is long-lasting. It doesn't shake or rattle during or after dunking. And if you live in a storm-prone area, this is the perfect choice for you. After 2-3 years of use, however, it might rattle a bit while dunking. But that's not something you need to be worried about.
Features like the fade-resistant graphics and powder-coated material really stand out. The backboard is shatterproof; made up of high-density polyethylene.
With an in-ground basketball hoop, height adjustment is essential. And the range this basketball hoop offers is reliable. Truth be told, this thing is really high. Plus, adjusting the height is also simple.
The Setback:
For the price, this in-ground basketball hoop is efficient and useful. But it"s not the ideal place setting for heavy use . That is, it"s only best used by kids
Things We Liked:
- High-quality build and structure.
- Good for outdoor use in any season.
Things We Don't Like:
- Not the best durability for adult use.
Spalding NBA In-Ground Basketball System
The Spalding NBA In-Ground Basketball has a few lessons to teach you. For starters, it has the most professional setup for dunking. It has an impressive blend of thick tempered glass. The kind of improves bounce, stability, and response time.
The rim and net are also made of superior materials. The former has a Pro-Image Breakaway design which enhances performance. And the net is all-weather proof. This 54-inches backboard keeps the rim and net sturdy enough for long-term use.
All these basic but dependable features made the Spalding NBA a good choice for aspiring players. It's also the best in-ground basketball hoop for recreational use. The height adjustment and size are proof of that fact.
The Setback:
The installation takes a lot of you . I would advise against doing it solo. A few extra hands can surely speed up the process
Things We Liked:
- Stable and thick backboard.
- Stability is its best feature.
Things We Don't Like:
- Long installation process. Especially when done alone.
Best Mid-Range In-Ground Basketball Hoop Picks (Under $700)
Silverback 54-Inches In-Ground Basketball System
A step ahead of the game would be the Silverback In-Ground Basketball System. It is made up of premium materials and is secured by concrete. The fact that you need to secure it in the ground makes this the best in-ground basketball hoop.
The tempered glass competes well with your style of playing. You can get rough or play only for recreational purposes. And it still won't budge or rattle. Dunking the ball, for most of you, is never is not an option, right? And a sturdy in-ground basketball hoop helps with that.
I found that this best in-ground basketball hoop is best for rough play. Its price and design match up to that reputation as well. If you don't believe me, see for yourself!
The Setback:
Rusting is a common enemy of the Silverback In-Ground Hoop . Once it latches on to the material ,it doesn"t move . Make sure you have a handy rust preventer on board along with this
Things We Liked:
- Durability for heavy use is on-point.
- Easy to assemble.
Things We Don't Like:
- The pole is very likely to rust.
Silverback 60-Inches In-Ground Basketball System
This Silverback's hoop houses a wider backboard and frame. With the same rim height and height adjustment, people would expect from a basketball hoop. In-ground basketball hoops have an advantage over others. That is because with an in-ground hoop, you get the best stability and height which is unalterable.
As with this best in-ground basketball hoop, you're surely not missing out on anything. It has a powder-coated steel pole and tempered glass reinforcement. The pro-style breakaway rim works well with the tempered glass. And at the back of the board are pads to keep the entire frame secure. The last feature is important because a 60-inch board is a HUGE board!
When you take a step back and have a look at the hoop. It looks magnanimous. A true basketball system for the price and performance! I don't see why you shouldn't opt for this one for your next purchase.
The Setback:
The rim is bound to rattle and shake while dunking. But it's not something that will lead it breaking off from the board .So you might have to get used to the wobbling
Things We Liked:
- High-quality backboard, base, and rim.
- Has a firm support in the ground.
Things We Don't Like:
- The rim rattles a lot as the ball passes through it.
Best Expensive Basketball Hoop Pick (Under $2000)
Pro Dunk Hercules Platinum
The Pro Dunk Hercules Platinum is a major league basketball hoop. And its high price covers that fact well. This best in-ground basketball hoop is great for dunking and hanging. Yes, I said the word hanging. It's built for intense and rough use. So don't treat it like it's built for kids.
It has a tempered glass backboard. And a 6-inch one-piece pole with 7 heavy-gauge walls. All throughout the design, the hardware is made of premium materials. I mean, if it's going to support an entire body weight, it has to be this tough! The pole boasts of galvanized components and stainless steel.
I know what you're going to ask next – "Is that all?" Well, not really. The structure this best in-ground basketball hoop stands on has unlimited warranty. This also includes the impact resistant gusset padding and safety pole!
The Setback:
A baseketball Hoop this huge needs a professional to install.Plus , the need for large installation equipment is strong .Make sure you have everything beforehand to avoid any delays.
Things We Liked:
- The strongest hoop structure on the market.
- Sturdy, durable, and storm-proof.
Things We Don't Like:
- The orientation and assembly are not easy.
My Least Favorite Choices (5 Worst In-Ground Basketball Hoop System)
I'm not a fan of some in-ground basketball hoop systems out there. Do you want to know why? Check what I've created from scratch (just for you!) below.
- Lifetime 1008 In-Ground Basketball Hoop
- Spalding NBA In-Ground Basketball System
- Spalding 54-Inch In-Ground Basketball System
- Lifetime In-Ground 54-Inch Steel-Famed Basketball System
- Lifetime Mammoth Height Adjustable In Ground Basketball System
Choosing the Best In-Ground Basketball Hoop for the First Time
What's the best way to install an in-ground basketball hoop?
When you place a portable basketball hoop on the ground, there is no drilling required. But that's not the case for an in-ground basketball system. You need to contact a professional to dig a hole in your backyard or driveway. The hole is where the support rod of the basketball system is pushed in and filled with concrete.
Many times, homeowners fail to inform local utility services. This is to make sure they do not hit burst a pipeline while drilling a hole.
The best way to secure the rod inside the hole is to pour gravel before place the rod in. This gives you a good surface to move forward with. Then, carefully place the basketball system's rod into the hole. You can throw in some bricks or stones to keep the pole standing up. Or you can also fill in concrete for good. Concrete keeps the entire thing stable so it won't sway with the wind.
When you receive the hoop, do not attach the backboard to the pole. You need to make sure the pole sits correctly inside the hole first. Following that, the rest of the parts need to join in.
The concrete takes a little time to dry and remain rigid. So make sure you place a few bricks on either side of the pole to keep it in place. The pole is very likely to shift or bend a little. Keep checking the pole's position while the cement dries up completely.
Now, it's time to get the rest of components together. Use the best hardware you can find for a safe and efficient installation process. If you are unable to do it on your own, contact a utility professional to help you. Remember: safety comes first!

What are the different materials used for in-ground basketball hoops?
The most conventional material for an in-ground basketball hoop was wood. But now that has changed along with a lot of other things. Now, you can choose from tempered glass, acrylic, molded plastic, and polycarbonate. Here is a basic run-down of each one of them.
- Tempered Glass
The toughest in-ground basketball hoops are made of tempered glass. It's also the most expensive choice on the market. Glass goes through a series of chemical and thermal pressures that make it unbreakable. This means tempered glass can handle the pressures of a basketball game. Without breaking or cracking!
- Acrylic
Acrylic is made of polymers. Acrylic is also a good option for mid-range durability. The backboard made of acrylic is generally transparent. And given its high-grade design, it is an expensive choice on the market.
- Molded Plastic
Molded plastic backboards are inexpensive and long-lasting. They may not be the ideal choice for rugged use. But they do well for recreational purposes. The downside to plastic is that it has no rebound effect. This means it rattles after impact.
- Polycarbonate
Polycarbonate and acrylic have a lot of features in common. To start with, they are ideal for occasional rugged use. They also have a good rebound effect for impact resistance and shock absorption. This makes polycarbonate an expensive option. Similar to the price range of acrylic. But costlier than wood or plastic.
Why do I need an in-ground basketball hoop?
It's never a bad idea to encourage a challenging sport in your home. Everyone can participate in it. Plus, if you have a kid in school, it can really help him or her become stronger and more proactive. And who knows? You might even see your kid grow up to become one of the best basketball players!
From that moment on, you'd be glad you decided to buy a basketball hoop. And hopefully, after reading this article, you'd be thanking me as well (wink-wink)! All kidding aside, allow me to give you 3 reasons why you should buy the best in-ground basketball hoop.
- You can make the most of your empty driveway space.
- It encourages better training performance for competitions.
- It prevents serious basketball injuries. No matter how aggressive the match gets.
Final Thoughts
Now that I've tallied the good versus the bad – what's your best in-ground basketball hoop? I'm sure by now you have a favorite. If you still can't decide, go for my favorite which is the Lifetime 71525 In-Ground Basketball System. It's strong, effective, and durable for long-term use. It takes up much less ground space, is more stable, and offers a number of benefits. You won't regret this decision, especially after you see how tough it really is!

"My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." (2 Cor 12:9, NIV)
How was I able to sustain 20 years of ministry in Cambodia?
It was one thing to be forewarned about the ups and downs, and the challenges and pitfalls usually described in missiology books, but quite another when personally faced with those challenges, each of which hit me hard. But it was God's grace that sustained me through all of it.
When I was a teenager, I attended a youth retreat at which I felt God challenging me to give my life to serving Him. This call was later affirmed at a missions conference by Asia Evangelistic Fellowship.
My education at the then Teachers' Training College in 1968 and 10 years of teaching experience helped prepare and equip me for ministry. But I was a broken person inside and needed to be healed before I myself could proclaim the message of healing. When I took up the call to missions at the age of 52, I realised that I had to obey and trust God fully to realise His plans for me.
During my two decades in Cambodia, I went through some serious and critical health issues, including being stricken by Guillain-Barré syndrome*. But during one hospital stay that lasted four and a half months, there was only one day when I did not have a visitor—I received so much love and encouragement.
There were also times I felt like giving up. Once, when trying to mediate a misunderstanding between a staff and a student, a feeling of helplessness came over me as the outcome was less than encouraging. Remembering my calling, I realised that God was moulding me to be a more effective witness for Him, and again experienced His peace and the sufficiency of His grace.
Thankfully, I have close friends and prayer partners who are always there for me and with whom I can share my struggles and pain. I also received prayers from my sending church, Faith Methodist Church, and the MMS Home Team. These have been crucial in my life as a missionary. Without their prayers and support, I know I would not have the strength, courage and stamina. God allowed me to go through some of the hardest times in my life and showed me how His grace was sufficient for me.
Thank God it has not been all tears, heartaches and failures. I have had the joy of seeing the fruits of my ministry in the many young Cambodians whose lives I have touched, and who are now serving their church and community.
Now, I finally have the peace and assurance that it is time to go home. There will be another period of adjustment and re-entry stress, but I am assured that He who is faithful will see me through and complete His work in my life.
A line from the song "I Am Who You Say I Am" captures my days as a missionary: "I am chosen, not forsaken."
*Guillain-Barré syndrome is a rapid-onset muscle weakness caused by the immune system damaging the peripheral nervous system. I was paralysed for a period of time, and through therapy, regained much of my mobility.
Doris Chan has been an MMS missionary in Cambodia since Jan 1999. She will be returning to Singapore in Dec 2018 after completing her service.

Helping people while on their path, is my business. Over the past two decades I've worked with hundreds of people in that time, helping them to find their own strength and voice. In one way or another, we all need each other to grow, and there's no way around this. The person I am today, wouldn't exist, without all the people who've been in my life to coach me and challenge me.
Throughout the years, I have opened my home, my heart, and my spirit to create priceless bonds. Most, if not all of these relationships have maintained—but not every relationship was meant to be forever—and that is ok too. I am not perfect and by no means; claim to know more than I can speak of. The only thing I truly know about, is my life, and the long journey through it. This is where I draw my strength from.
Struggle has been my best teacher, and it has taught me the value of paying close attention. The common denominator, between all people that I've ever helped, has been that they have always needed a friend, a brother, an uncle, a teacher, and most importantly a consistent spirit. I have been that person my whole life, and will continue to be that until, my death. That is what I do. I take great pride, in my ability to be a good relative.
If you need someone like me, in your corner. Keep reading…

I have been on a mission to drastically salt from my diet. I know I can't or shouldn't eliminate all of the salt because sodium is actually necessary for your body to function properly but when you have high blood pressure (like I do) or just want to eat a natural diet (like I do) you will find that most store-bought prepared foods are high in sodium. For example, look at the label of your natural foods and you will be very surprised. I was!
Fortunately, many foods are not hard to make yourself and then you can control how much sodium (or other bad stuff) goes into your body. Living a natural lifestyle is within reach of everybody. Let's get back to the foods that grandmother or great grandmother ate and didn't think twice about it.
One thing I want to eat more of but has too much salt are the cheeses of the world. I'm French. I love cheese. How do I get to eat more cheese and eliminate the salt? The answer is trés simple. I make my own.
Today I am making homemade cottage cheese and it turns out that it couldn't be easier.
Homemade Cottage Cheese Recipe
Milk thermometer
Large stainless steel spoon for stirring
Clean tea towel or layers of cheesecloth or butter muslin
Large bowl that a colander fits into but doesn't touch bottom
Heavy bottom stainless steel pot that holds one gallon of milk
1 gallon pasteurized whole, 2% or skim milk
3/4 cup white vinegar
To taste: Natural salt or kosher salt (salt that doesn't have any additives in it; one of my pet peeves is that regular salt has dextrose in it - sugar!)
Heavy cream or half and half, to taste
1. Pour the milk into the pot and put it on medium heat.
2. Heat it to 120 degrees and then remove it from the heat.
3. Gently pour in the vinegar. By the way, the vinegar will not affect the taste one iota.
4. Stir it gently for a minute or two. You should see the curd separating from the whey. Make sure that vinegar is stirred all the way through the milk or you might not get it all curdled. I found this out the hard way. Waste of milk!
5. Cover and let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
6. Place a colander lined with a tea towel, 2 layers of cheesecloth or one layer of butter muslin over the large bowl. Pour the curdled milk into the colander. Let it drain for 5 minutes or so. Pour out the whey or save it for the hens.
7. Gather up the edges of the cloth and tie twine around the gathered edges. Hang the bag from the handle on one of your cabinets and let the bag drain into the bowl for 30 minutes or more. Once cool squeeze more whey out as best you can and put the curds in another bowl. Add the salt while breaking it up into bite size pieces as you mix. If you are going to eat it right away you can now add the cream. If you aren't you can put it in the fridge and add the cream later when you want to eat it.Photos by Renee Benoit

ADEPT associates a limited set of patterns of connection with a particular set of abstract meanings. These are called the Ontological Constructs. There are seven of them.
The first three constructs each stand alone but the latter four constructs consist of combinations of the first three. Therefore, the first three are called Axiomatic Ontological Constructs and the latter four are called Derivative Ontological Constructs
The ADEPT notation uses a water metaphor to identify the ontological constructs. The image is of a stream of "liquid" information, being naturally ordered in its passage through a constrained framework just like the natural environment pictured here at Semuc Champey, Guatemala.
Depth defines the definite and determinate aspects of a node in its relationships. It may be manifestly actual or just a shadow of potential.
Pool defines the intrinsic and/or extrinsic perspectives of a node in relation to how it was formed, and how it can form other nodes.
Nature defines a node's mode of iteration. Nature can be original, symbolic, productive, volitional or terminal.
The ADEPT Rivulet represents the completed ontological construction of an ADEPT node. It is the sum of axiomatic constructs of depth, pool and nature.
The ADEPT Current represents the relational causality of an ADEPT node. It is the sum of the axiomatic constructs of depth and pool.
The ADEPT Wave represents the relational potentiality of an ADEPT node. It is the sum of the axiomatic constructs of pool and nature.
The ADEPT Surface represents the systematic ordering of an ADEPT node. It is the sum of the axiomatic constructs of depth and nature.
