In the venerable Mother of all Parliaments in London, there has been a veritable furore about a decision by the upper house, to save some money on the way that the activities of both the House of Lords and the House of Commons are recorded.
For the last 1,000 years it has been the practice of the Britain's lawmakers and monarchs to scribe their rulings onto vellum, the material made from the skins of calves. In a sign of the times the Lords decided to save money by switching to archival paper for future law making. The decision created such an outrage amongst the members of both chambers that their Lordships reversed the decision, and with financial support from the Cabinet office of the Prime Minister, the deliberations of the UK's politicians will continue to be recorded in the traditional way.
The name vellum comes from the old French word for calfskin – vélin, and the nature of the material is such that it has a terrific longevity. In fact the oldest recorded law in the houses of parliament was written onto vellum in 1497. The world famous Magna Carta was also recorded onto vellum over 800 years ago and is still in readable condition, so the product has got a good pedigree.
The Magna Carta written on vellum, a calfskin parchment
Vellum is made by soaking the calfskins in a lime wash and then scraping away the hair and fat to produce an even thickness before the skins are dried ready for use. It is a technique that has survived the test of time and by its very nature is going to be a more costly process than papermaking.
Across the Atlantic our American friends used a similar method to record their Declaration of Independence from the British, their Constitution and their Bills of Rights. In their case, they recorded these important documents onto parchment, another form of writing material made from animal skins.
The American Constitution written on parchment
So you can see that the process of government deliberation has for centuries been recorded with the purpose of longevity in mind.

The Lake Superior Scottish Regiment is a Primary Reserve infantry regiment of the Canadian Forces. The regiment is located in Thunder Bay, Ontario, and is part of the 3rd Canadian Division's 38 Canadian Brigade Group. Also known as the "Lake Sups" (pronounced soups), the regiment was active during World War II. During which, the regiment, then known as The Lake Superior Regiment (Motor) or LSR(M), mobilized a Motor (motorized infantry) battalion for the 4th Canadian (Armoured) Division.
The LSR(M) and 28th Armoured Regiment (The British Columbia Regiment) were the only Canadian land based units to score a naval victory during the Second World War. On November 5, 1944, the units sank a number of German ships in the port of Zijpe. The units sank three German ships and destroyed a fourth.The ships were reportedly destroyers, one of which was damaged by mortar fire – one legend suggests a mortar round fired by the infantry made its way down the smokestack of one of the ships.
The ship's bell from one of the sunken vessels was recovered, and is located in the Officer's Mess of The British Columbia Regiment (Duke of Connaught's Own).

Chicken Parmesan
While we can definitely get down with the cheesy, saucy, usually pasta-adorning dish most people associate with chicken parm, it's not exactly sexy food. In this crispy, gluten-free take, we keep all the deliciousness but lose the superfluous heft. Cozy, nostalgic, and easy (thanks to Rao's), this elegant chicken parm is exactly what your date wants to eat.
¼ cup gluten-free flour (we use Cup4Cup)
½ cup Ian's gluten-free breadcrumbs
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 egg, beaten
2 chicken cutlets (about ⅓ pound each)
salt and pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil
¼ cup good jarred marinara sauce (we use Rao's)
2 ounces mozzarella (2 slices from an 8-ounce
fresh basil, to garnish
1. Prepare three shallow bowls for the dredging process. Place the gluten-free flour in one, the breadcrumbs and Parmesan in another, and the egg in the third. Season each with a good pinch of salt and pepper and stir to combine.
2. Season the cutlets with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat a 10-inch nonstick or cast-iron pan over low heat and add the olive oil.
3. While the pan heats up, dredge your cutlets. Dip each cutlet into the flour, coating every last bit, then shake off any extra flour (tongs work well for this part) and dip into the beaten egg. Coat well, lift to drain off any extra egg, and dip in the breadcrumb-cheese mixture, pressing down a little to make sure as much mixture is sticking as possible. If your shallow bowls are big enough, do both cutlets at the same time. Otherwise, do one first, place it in the pan to start cooking, the prepare the second one.
4. When both cutlets are in the pan, turn the heat up to medium and cook until the breading is golden and the chicken is cooked through, about 3 to 5 minutes per side depending on the thickness of your cutlets.
5. While the chicken cooks, slice your mozzarella, turn your broiler on to high, and prepare a baking sheet lined with a cooling rack.
6. Remove the chicken to the baking sheet and spoon 2 tablespoons marinara sauce over each piece. Top with a slice of mozzarella, and place under the broiler for 3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and just beginning to blister.
7. Serve garnished with torn or finely sliced basil leaves and a simple arugula salad.

Wintersun | Album Release: The Forest Seasons | Interview
Wintersun, a 4 piece melodic death metal band from Helsinki, Finland, are releasing their third full-length studio album this year. This album is 53 minutes long and follows the concept of Vivaldi's "The Four Seasons", but will feature death metal on four massive tracks. Before the release of the album, they have launched a crowd funding campaign to raise money for a new Wintersun headquarters.
Ellen Rosie, from the Moshpit on SYN caught up with Jukka Koskinen, the bass player for Wintersun, to find out more about the album release and crowd funding campaign.
Tell us a little about the new album The Forest Seasons, where did you get the idea to follow the concept of Vivaldi's Four Seasons?
The original idea came from the forest. Jari was wandering the woods and got the inspiration to make a song of the beauty and majesty of nature. The first songs as we know now "The Forest that Weeps" was composed. Later on he thought to reflect the other seasons and their atmosphere to other songs, there Vivaldi's four seasons (spring, summer, autumn and winter) came in as a thematic inspiration, not music wise. The Forest Seasons album is about the birth and death, and in between and beyond.
How do you think the album will be received by fans and the public as it only has 4 tracks?
The album is 54+ minutes so it's more than your average full-length. All the four songs are 10+ minutes so epic journeys in all of them:
The opening track Awaken from the Dark Slumber, the spring song, is about when everything comes to life after winter's dark times. It's also how you yourself wake up from a coma that you have been in your whole life possibly. The song is split in two parts and is very uplifting though it has a dark first half, presenting the dream and the second part, presenting the awakening.
The summer song, The Forest that Weeps, is an majestic male choir driven song that shows the harshness of the summer that can happen in the north, greyness and rain – hard for your mentality when the sun is gone even sometimes in the summer.
The autumn song, Eternal Darkeness, is by far the most brutal song by Wintersun. This monster is about all dying, death, dark times like in the autumn, almost unbearably hard for mentality – our black metal beast.
The winter song, Loneliness, is a slower tempo song with beautiful clean vocals and melodies. A song about melancholia, loneliness though somehow a peaceful feel in it.
These four songs form an absolutely great concept, merging the different elements (from each season) into a complete whole as an album.
Who came up with the idea to crowdfund to raise money for the Wintersun Headquarters?
Actually the idea came from our dear fans in the first place. We started to think of this option and it really made sense to get out from this unfortunate situation we have been without the needed resources. Of course this needed to be something truly special and therefore required a lot of work to make content that is unique and majestic for the fans. We came up with the Forest Package and the response has been great from our dear fans – the kind we wanted to have!
You have a festival tour coming up this year, what do you most look forward to about playing at festivals?
It's great to be back on the road since 2015. Especially this year it's great to be playing at new festivals and countries we haven't visited before. We are excited to play the new material live of course to bring fresh music for our live set but of course most of all we are looking forward to have great time with all the people at the concerts – share something special together!
Lastly, you are starting off 2017 with a bang, releasing your third studio album, how do you feel the rest of the year will go?
There really has been a band indeed how the crowdfunding is going and the best is to see how people understand us and wan't to support our journey together. I believe we will be an example for other bands to follow in the crowdfunding path but also Wintersun will break new ground with this successful campaign as well. Hopefully we will get a lot of shows for this year since it's really time to hit the road and reach new people to hear the epic story of Wintersun!

To avoid spoilers, we won't talk too much about Evangelion 1.0. But to be honest, the story of the first film is 95% the same as the first six episodes of the original series, so there's really not much to spoil. The producers wanted to get started with a solid base for new and old fans alike, so the "retelling" is quite literal in the first film. For the most part, scenes are pretty much the same as they were in the original series but with better animation and better pacing.
The later three films, however, promise to deliver new elements, including:
- New Characters
- New Story Elements
- New Eva Designs (Units 04, 05, and 06)
- And, most importantly, a brand new ending
So far, we can't say if these promised new elements will take a prominent role in a drastically different story, or if the creators will continue to stick to the old plot for the most part. The decisions made for these upcoming films could either add to the legend of the franchise, or give the critics more ammo.
We've compiled a short list of a few things we'd like to see (and not see) in the upcoming Rebuild of Evangelion films. These are things that we think can really help this 13-year old franchise re-establish its place at the top of the anime industry, and finally quiet the long debates about its quality.
1.) Don't make us feel like we're being milked.
The major complaint amongst anime fans is that this whole Rebuild of Evangelion endeavor seems to be yet another attempt at squeezing one last golden egg out of the Evangelion goose. The series has been released and re-released in a number of director's cuts, box sets, platinum editions, etc. It's boring, it's annoying, and it's somewhat insulting.
It's even more annoying when you see an unwelcome new addition to the new Evangelion film: shameless product placements. The original series used fake brand names on products, but this new incarnation unabashedly gives screen time to all sorts of real-world brands that quite obviously paid for the privilege. Ebisu beer, Doritos, Pizza Hut (just like in Code Geass), and UCC Coffee cans all make cameos. Doritos even had a Japanese promotion with Evangelion labeled packaging on their chip bags. Some may see this stuff as adding a little bit of "realism" to the story, but for most people it's very unsettling to see a beloved franchise that strove to break boundaries and expand minds become just another tool for the corporate machine.
The remaining Rebuild of Evangelion films must give viewers new, high-quality, and intelligent material so that fans don't get further frustrated with what seems like shameless milking of one of the most lucrative anime franchises in history.
2.) Show us a more likable Shinji.
One of the most common complaints about the Evangelion series and its spinoffs was the protagonist, Shinji Ikari. It's difficult to find another franchise that has been as successful with such a disliked main character. He's often described as whiney, emo, and sometimes just plain creepy (a certain scene involving Asuka's near naked body comes to mind).
This is ironic since the only thing Shinji really wanted in the series was to be liked. He wanted the love and attention he never got from his father after his mother died. But, instead of empathizing with him, many viewers hated him for his perceived weaknesses, lack of maturity, and lack of growth.
Shinji's struggles to deal with the immense pressure of fighting to save the world understandably test his fragile 14-year old mind, and the series does a superb job of characterizing his problems with self-esteem, affection, and fear. But we rarely see him rise above those issues. It's hard to root for a guy that doesn't grow and learn to overcome his obstacles. Just when it looks like Shinji might step up and surpass his weaknesses, he falls right back into disappointing and dysfunctional behavior.

Diabetes impacts millions of people in the United States alone, and there are plenty of ways to treat the condition. Some people manage their daily diet, while others have to take insulin to manage the effects on the body. However, there is an organization that is working on research to help patients to handle this condition with greater ease and less restriction – Science 37.
What Is Science 37?
Science 37 is a company that helps to perform different research studies to make progress in the medical community. There are plenty of different efforts made to help learn more about the different conditions, along with how to make the medical community more effective. Right now, the research study that consumers may want to get involved with is for diabetes.
About The Science 37 Clinical Research Study
During this research study, the participants will be helping the creators to discover the impact that insulin makes on the body, specifically when it is not supplemented. Over the course of 12 weeks, the participant will agree to a total of five home visits, and they will have to use the alternative insulin pen for three treatments a day, replacing the old dose.
Anyone can get involved in this program, as long as the make the criteria. The criteria are:
- To have type 1 or type 2 diabetes
- Ages 21 to 65 for type 1
- Ages 35 to 65 for type 2
- To have to take three doses of insulin daily
- To have an A1c that exceeds 8.0%
- To live in California, New York, or New Jersey
It is essential to contribute to this study (if possible), because it will eventually help the pharmaceutical industry to develop a type of treatment that is safer and more effective. A study team oversees the study, though there is not a specific indication that doctors will be involved directly. There is a smartphone that the participant will have to use for the whole study, and the user will have to use the different assessments during the study.
Compensation For The Science 37 Research Study
To engage in the study, the participant does not have to pay for a thing. However, to compensate the individuals that sacrifice their time and typical medication, the participant will receive up to $125 for involving themselves. Each installment of $25 will be given to the individual during their home visit.
Contacting Science 37
The website has plenty of information about the study, which is necessary for consumers that want to make a difference in the medical community. The company offers a form on the website, but they can reach out via direct email to email@example.com as well.
Science 37 Diabetes Connected Pen Summary
The Diabetes Clinical Research Study by Science 37 is a beneficial way for consumers to contribute to the medical community. There is nothing in the details online to indicate how many people can participate, but consumers that want to dedicate their time should sign up sooner, rather than later. There are plenty of details given on the website about the other campaigns and studies that the company has in the works that ineligible participants can engage in instead.

Sion and I have been pretty set on names for our baby since even before they were conceived! Our choices are traditional but not in the top 20 of children's names and we've both wanted to include family names as middle names, but we have a lot of family each to choose from.
Our girl's choice is now fixed and agreed on and while I liked our boy choice I wasn't blown away by it. Lying in bed at the weekend, I plucked up the courage to ask Sion "are you fixed on (insert name here!) for a boy's name?" This then resulted in the two of us scrolling through Top 200 lists to see if anything else caught our fancy...nothing!! There was one name that I liked, but I was sure Sion wouldn't like it so I kept quiet. It wasn't until later that morning that Sion said "Well I do like (new name) too"...Of course it had to be the same name I was thinking! For the rest of the weekend we tossed both names backwards & forwards, trying to decide which one we liked the best.
Sion went to see his Stepdad and apparently had a conversation where he mentioned both names to him and asked his opinion...His stepdad answered, I like Abraham...Abraham wasn't one of the two options!! Later on he turned to Sion and said what name does Carrie like the most? Sion told him and he quickly replied, that's what you'll be naming the baby if its a boy then!
Of course by not knowing what we are having yet I'm finding it difficult to know what to call baby. We've tried out Little One and Sproglet, but they didn't feel right. Over the last two weeks, my bump has really appeared, so much so that a colleague joked "Are you sure you're not having a hippo?!" Hippo has now stuck, it's going to feel strange calling them something else once they are finally here!
How would you pick a baby's name?

... Very nicely done... IMO you should try bringing some of the grass and flowers in front of his knees and toes so that it looks like he is really kneeling down. There also seems to be a triangular color change on the sleeve of the jacket. None the less this is great Good Luck
Is that an elephant on your back or are you just happy to see me. It could just be me, but does there need to be some cast shadows from the left ear, left tusk and upper trunk. or maybe I'm wrong. It's your happy little world, I'll let you decide.
Congratulations, Deb - truly a massive work in all senses. Love the 3-d position of the elephant and how his trunk gets in front
This was the best of the contest and one of the best chops I've seen here in a while. Thought it was an AZ production ... Figures it's a SassyDeb work of art. Kudos to a job well done.

Most of this experience comes from having worked for Real Software for the last 4 years and dealing with SVN on OS X, Windows & Linux. We use all three here and there are a very minor number of issues that we run into. If you have a team also using SVN then you're likely to experience them as well.
First things first - use VCP with SVN :)
Yes, you can use XML, but XML files are much harder to merge and compare differences because they are XML. We do use some binary files, mostly images, and there's not a lot you can do to practically compare two binary files. It would be nice, but SVN doesn't do that. Now IF you happen to use a LOT of external files, which has pros and cons in a team environment especially if you're doing work for many clients, you may have to use either XML or RBP files. There's no way around that at the moment. That's one of the issues with external items.
The other issue is that if you use some common code you might be better off being able to "clone" it to client projects on a predictable schedule that you control, instead of just whenever it's updated in another project. And SVN does make this possible if you use subprojects or relative locations. (see http://tortoisesvn.net/docs/nightly/TortoiseSVN_en/tsvn-howto-common-projects.html) This allows you to keep your "common code" up to date in one place and then YOU decide when to update it to other projects you use it in.
With SVN in a team environment one of the things you definitely want to avoid is nuking another developer's changes. As long as you regularly update from the repository, this is not hard to avoid and most are easy to deal with. And always update BEFORE committing your changes just to make sure you're not about to put some code back in your main repository that has conflicts. Conflicts arise when you and another team member happen to change the same line in a file. When you update, most SVN clients will highlight the difficulty and let you know. When it's in code, it's not a problem and the IDE will open the items and you can find conflicts by running an analyze, and the IDE will highlight the conflict markup as invalid syntax.
The hardest conflict to deal with is when you add something to the project and someone else does as well in their working copy. In a VCP project, adding an item modifies the "manifest", the file with the RBVCP extension, that represents the items in your project. A conflict in this file will make it so your project won't open any more as the IDE has no clue what this conflict markup code means.
So what does a conflict look like and better yet, how do you fix it ?
The first thing to know is the RBVCP file is just a text file so you can open it with TextEdit, NotePad or any other text file editor (emacs, vi, vim, or pico for those who are so inclined).
Often a conflict will look like:

Long Distance Custody Agreements & Schedules: What to Consider?
In custody situations, if one parent moves away from the other you will need to create a long distance custody agreement. If this situation applies to you and you are in the initial stages of your custody proceedings, you will automatically have to include provisions for long distance custody. However, if a parent relocates after custody has been finalized, you will need to return to court to have your order modified.
Custody X Change is software that creates professional parenting plan documents and parenting schedules.
Occasionally the parent that is relocating will try to go back to court to get sole custody in order to take the child out of the area. The parent may try to convince the judge that there are legitimate reasons that he or she should have sole custody. The parent may try to argue that moving with the child will be better for the child.
Sometimes these tactics work but it is usually only because the other parent was able to convince the judge that moving would in fact be in the best interests of the child. However, most judges consider continuity and stability to be important factors in a child's life. Disrupting the child's home, school, and community is not something to be done on a whim or without a good reason.
These attempts to gain sole custody of the child in order to move away with the child often backfire. The result is the child remains with the parent that is not moving away and often times that parent will have gained sole custody in the process.
It is a good idea to include provisions for a long distance custody arrangement in your original custody agreement. Planning ahead will prevent you from having to return to court which will save time and money. Having a pre-existing plan in place in the event a parent decides to move away will help you avoid an unnecessary court battle.
A typical long distance (300 miles or more) custody agreement might consist of the non-custodial parent having the child:
- Spring Break – Every year
- Fall Break (in states that have them) – Odd years
- Thanksgiving (from Wednesday to Sunday) – Even years
- Christmas (for seven days) – Odd years
- Summer – Thirty consecutive days for the first visit after school gets out with an additional two or three week visit at the end of summer
A typical long distance visitation schedule will allow the distanced parent to visit the child within the child's community several times a year. You will need to decide how much advanced notice the visiting parent should give the other parent and the maximum amount of time each visit shall last.
Visits from the out of area parent should not interfere with the other parent's allocated holidays and should not infringe upon a parent's birthday or a Mother's Day or Father's Day celebration. A father could certainly visit the child on Father's Day (or a mother, on Mother's Day) and the custodial parent should not attempt to prevent the visit.
Travel expenses are something else you will need to consider in your custody agreement. Some judges will order the parents to share the travel and transportation expenses but you certainly do not have to agree to do so. The parent who moves away is creating the additional expense and it seems logical and fair that he or she should be responsible for paying for the costs. You can ask the judge to have the responsibility of the travel expenses to be held by the person that will cause the need for the expenses.
The age of your child should play a role in the length and frequency of long distance visitation. It is unreasonable to expect a two year old to go on a plane and spend thirty days apart from her primary parent / caregiver. You may include different custody arrangements for your child at different ages and stages in her life.
The standard long distance visitation schedules can be used as guidelines. You should not feel obligated to use them. If you can reach an agreement with the other parent you should be able to create your custody arrangements as you see fit.

Booking an IAH car service is a great idea when you have business travel, especially when you travel regularly. For Valentine's Day, though, few people think about any type of Town Car service in Houston or elsewhere.
You may be making reservations at a high quality restaurant, planning to go to movie, or doing something extra special. How you get to those destinations makes a difference, especially for a romantic holiday.
It offers luxury, comfort, and
the opportunity for you to spend all of your time and energy focused specifically on this significant other in your life. Whether it's a husband, wife, girlfriend, or boyfriend, by choosing a Town Car service Houston, you can spend quality time together this Valentine's Day.
Many businesses choose an car service to IAH to take their executives or employees to and from the airport and they do this regularly. However, most of the rest of us don't really think much about renting a limo except for weddings or other special occasions.
On Valentine's Day, you want to do something that will be memorable. This certainly will be. You can not only get the best in luxury and comfort, but privacy, on-time service, and the type of amenities that will make you and your significant other feel like a celebrity or VIP this year.

one of the Iberian tribes in northern Spain. According to ancient authors, they were characterized by austere customs and great bravery. They stubbornly fought the Romans during the second and first centuries B.C. and were finally subdued during the reign of Augustus in 29–19 B.C. The territory that had been settled by the Cantabrians became part of the Roman province of Hispania Citerior (or Tarraconia).

Niacin, also known as vitamin B-3 or nicotinic acid, is a water-soluble micronutrient found in a wide variety of foods. Your body converts niacin into chemicals that support the function of hundreds of enzymes involved in a broad array of metabolic functions. In addition to its nutritional role, prescription-strength niacin is used to correct abnormal blood fat levels. The safe dosage of niacin depends on how it is used.
Nutritional Niacin
Niacin participates in redox reactions, a term you may recall from high school chemistry. Niacin derivatives produced by your body can either donate or accept electrons from other chemicals. This function proves essential for the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, fats and alcohol, and the production of certain chemicals manufactured by your cells.
The recommended daily intake for niacin is 14 mg for women. Foods that provide you with niacin include meat, fish, poultry, eggs, dairy products, nuts and vitamin-fortified cereals and grain products. Unless your doctor prescribes a higher dosage, your daily intake of supplemental niacin should not exceed 35 mg, according to the Institute of Medicine.
Prescription Niacin
Your doctor may prescribe prescription-strength niacin if you have abnormal blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels. In high doses, niacin can reduce your triglyceride, total cholesterol and LDL, or "bad" cholesterol, levels. It also increases your level of HDL, or "good" cholesterol. You typically begin treatment with a low dose of niacin, often 250 mg daily. Your dosage is gradually increased over several weeks to 1 to 2 g daily for an extended-release formulation or 1.5 to 3 g daily for immediate-release medication, according to the National Cholesterol Education Program. If your blood fat levels remain abnormal on this dosage, your doctor may slowly increase your daily dose to up to 6 g daily, although this is uncommon.
Adverse Effects
Too much supplemental or prescription-strength niacin may cause side effects. You may experience nausea and vomiting, which is most common when you take doses of 3 g per day or more. Headaches and skin flushing, accompanied by a burning sensation and itching, may occur with high doses of niacin. These side effects occur because high-dose niacin can cause dilation of your blood vessels. High doses of niacin may adversely affect your liver, especially if you consume large amounts of alcohol.
Do not take over-the-counter niacin supplements in dosages greater than 35 mg daily unless your doctor advises you to do so. Do not attempt high-dose niacin therapy on your own; it is important to work with a health-care professional for this form of niacin treatment. Talk with your doctor before taking niacin or any other nutritional supplement to be sure it is safe for you.

LuckyHumanFoot.com is almost ready for it's Alpha release! We have been working on it around the clock to meet the impossible deadline that we have set for ourselves. Because the design changes so often the only screenshot that exists is of the updated Visualizer that has been borrowed and enhanced from DruHix.com. For those who care we will go into more detail on that below. As well as developer updates for the tech geeks who we like to build networks.
The new Visualizer is awesome! And great for parties or chill sessions with friends. Some of the new features include:
- More colors + more responsive visual effects with the Rabbit logo
- Mouse movement triggers Music Player controls
- Flip through your playlist without exiting the visualizer
- The effects auto suppress if your browser starts to run slow
Disclaimer: The following is some heavy tech stuff for the IT professionals!
We have been stress testing the hell out of our API for months now. It's nearing it's public release so we thought we'd take a change, pop the hood, mess around with infrastructure and hopefully not break it. We designed a new web cluster and tested it against our existing cluster. The results were impressive! We managed to design a server cluster that is 64 times faster! Instead of scrapping the current setup we simply reassigned it to only work on low priority API calls that are not time sensitive. With the new cluster assigned to the high priority tasks with the addition of using the secondary cluster as a fail-over in the event that sometime goes wrong with the primary cluster. This is going to make future web development very easy not only for us but also for anyone using the API!
Stay tuned for the launch of our enterprise level solutions! Contact us, let us design and build a highly scalable network for you!

He emphasizes the benefits of having healthy and active employees: a great number of companies provide training compensation for their employees. From the perspective of the enterprise, this may not be the most effective solution as there is no overview whether the compensation is realised by the employee or someone else. In addition, people prefer to go to different fitness clubs. Thus, a medium-size company may associate with, let us say, ten sports service providers, while big companies might have even hundred different sports service providers.
At this point, SportID might solve the problem for the companies. SportID is a unique sports cost management platform that liberates the employer from negotioating with different service providers. The platform contains a net of service providers and the entrepreneur is guaranteed to have a convenient solution.
The companies are motivated to join, as the solution is time-saving and easy-to-use: gathering piles of receipts from the companys`s employees and, later, organizing of the receipts is annoying and time-consuming for the accountant. The employees, in turn, do not have to collect their receipts or wait for the compensation.
"This approach is also convenient for the sports club as it facilitates the price negotiations and leaves the discretion regarding the selling price of their service," explains Soosaar.
"Another solution being developed at the moment is the integration of training diary to SportID platform. The purpose of SportID training diary is to motivate all employees: you can list all of your trainings and, at the end of the week, the system compiles a chart that reflects the results of the collective," he explains.
Although SportID does not have competitors in the field of sports costs management, there are several other sports diaries on the market. Soosaar emphasizes that they want to distinguish from others by offering personal solutions for each company.
Looking towards the foreign markets
"Our business idea grew out of a sports seminar held in cooperation with several Estonian companies. A lot of employers acclaimed that they find it difficult to manage sport compensations, but they would agree to outsource the service. We began to develop our idea and in 2015, we managed to get our first clients. At first, we operated under the NGO Estonian Federation for Company Sport but we had limited opportunities for developing or moving to foreign markets, thus, we established a new company," says Soosaar.
Today, more than 200 companies have joined SportID platform and they are connected to even more than 300 sports service providers across Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. "We have clients from multiple fields of activity, for example, security companies or retail trade and state agencies. It is interesting to note that financial institutions and IT companies are the most enthusiastic members of the platform.
The fact that SportID service won "The Estonian best e-service in 2015" people`s choice award indicates its popularity.
Soosaar plans to expand to foreign markets. As several Estonian companies have employees in Latvia and Lithuania, SportID already has some partners in the Baltic countries. Soosaar believes that in the future, SportID will become a global net of companies, sports service providers and sporty employees. Statistics shows that people`s health indicators have worsened. "The companies suffer from the increasing costs of poor health. People seek for new solutions and acknowledge that they are responsible for their health condition. We can provide solutions for both the employers and the employees," says Soosaar.
Marti Soosaar considers his best achievements during his sports career to be the world champion title in icosathlon in 2013 and 2015 in M35 age group; in addition, he has won Estonian championship in relay races twice. Let us wait for the next accomplishments: how many people and countries can he engage in sports?

Ultimate Cheeseburger
April 25, 2013
When given dinner options in our house, where boys rule, the answer is always unanimous, "Cheeseburgers!" I must admit that I love cheeseburgers too, and not just because they're simple and easy to prepare, but because Niman Ranch has amazing ground beef.
During the week we usually cook the burgers indoors in a cast iron skillet over high heat. On weekends, especially when the boys' buddy, Dash, comes over we always make sure to fire up the charcoal grill in time for an afternoon of burgers and playtime.
The other benefit to burgers is they can be simple for the kids and more gourmet for the adults. Jazz 'em up any way you like.
Best Burgers
Makes 4 8-ounce or 8 4-ounce Patties
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 8 minutes
2 pounds Niman Ranch Fresh Ground Beef
8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, grated
4 minced green onions
2 tablespoons minced garlic
8 hamburger buns
8 slices Niman Applewood Smoked Bacon, cooked
Garlic Mushrooms – see recipe below
Caramelized Onions – see recipe below
8 slices avocado
Combine hamburger, cheese, green onions and garlic in a bowl. Mix until well combined and divide the mixture into 4 equal sections ( 8 4-ounce or 4 8-ounce patties). Form each section into a ball and then flatten each into a patty. Grill, broil or pan-fry the burgers on 1 side, flip to finish cooking (use the chart below to gauge cooking time).
Toast the buns (essential) while the burgers are cooking, and spread with condiments of choice. Pile on the cooked bacon, garlic mushrooms, grilled onions, and sliced avocado. You might want to cut this monster in half before eating.
Cooking Times
Use the following chart as a guide to cooking time. Times are based on a 1-inch thick burger and will vary depending on the thickness of your patties and cooking method.
4 minutes on each side – rare
5 minutes on each side – medium-rare
6 minutes on each side – medium
7 minutes on each side – medium-well
8 minutes on each side – well-done
Garlic Mushrooms
Slice about a pound of mushrooms. Sauté with lots of butter, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt. As the mushrooms cook, they'll shrink in size, so start with more than you think you'll need. White button mushrooms work well, but you might also try a mixture of portobello, shiitake and oyster mushrooms for a gourmet touch.
Caramelized Onions
Cut a couple of onions in half lengthwise and slice thinly. Sauté with a lump of butter, and a pinch each of sugar and salt. As the onions cook, the natural sugars will be drawn to the surface and then caramelize, resulting in a deep brown color. A dash of balsamic vinegar will brighten the flavor and add to the onions' sweetness.

Johann Sebastian Bach, also known as J. S. Bach, was a German composer and musician from the Baroque period of music. He is most well known for "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring," "Passion" arias and "Brandenburg" concertos.
"Air on the G String" is from four Orchestral suites, specifically the second movement of the third suite. Bach was experimenting with styles, so the four Orchestral suites have a more French-style to them rather than German. As a violinist himself, Bach features the first violin in this movement.
This particular movement is mellow and sweet, which is perfect for sentimental occasions like weddings. It fits well for family to process down the aisle, or if it feels right, the music is regal enough for the bride herself. "Air on the G String" is also perfect for autumn weddings where one can almost see the leaves falling with the music.
