"Fantastic recovery!"
Ana Johnson on 4/4/2020 8:23:52 PM
Your Thoughts about the Product: Really great product!
"Very impressed!"
Barry Smith on 3/15/2020 6:52:48 PM
Your Thoughts about the Product: Very impressed with how these products mix. The raspberry taste is a subtle flavour and is refreshing. Taking this after a workout definitely sets me up better for the next workout day Plus it's a Canadian product! Definitely recommend
"4:1 ratio"
Heather Hopkins on 7/10/2019 3:52:39 PM
Your Thoughts about the Product: Was having difficult time finding a convenient, easy to use supplement that had 4:1 ratio (Carb to Protein). Repair fit the bill perfectly! Would rate a 5 if it came in variety of flavours.
INF - Heather - we are working on pull-down menus. In the meantime, tell us what flavour you want in the checkout process. Chocolate, Mango, Lemon-Lime,
Pink-Lemonade, Grape, Orange and Citrus Blast.
"Great recovery drink"
Erin Saunders on 6/24/2019 1:36:37 PM
Your Thoughts about the Product: I've had this product for 2 weeks and have used it after all of my long/intense workouts. I feel amazing for the rest of the day and into the next. I don't get as tired/sore. The taste is good and it mixes with water very well, no powdery bubbles that never seem to mix like in some powders.
"Repair Recovery Drink"
Lisa Salloum on 6/9/2019 6:47:40 PM
Your Thoughts about the Product: When I get back from a long ride, the first thing I do is mix myself a cold glass of Repair. It tastes great and it's such a quick way to get nourishment back into the body. I don't have the time or desire to figure out how to replenish after a workout so I'm glad Repair does it for me!
"Awesome product unbelievable customer support"
Gerhard Jacobs on 4/10/2019 7:24:01 PM
Your Thoughts about the Product: I use INFINIT exclusive for long runs. I run marathons and the occasional ultra. I had a consult with Darcy years ago to finetune my custom solution and it cured my cramps at 30km and help to strengthen my run in general. The recovery solution is a MUST in my opinion if you value doing another run 1-2 days after a long training run. I ordered a replacement for my recovery solution recently but neglected to state the flavor (chocolate FTW) After reaching out INFINIT replaced this at no charge Guys you rock! I'm heading to my first Boston Marathon this weekend and INFINIT is in my hydration pack. Thank you again!
Nathan Drouillard on 3/1/2019 11:17:14 AM
Your Thoughts about the Product: When doing multiple workouts in a day and eating as much as I do, it's very important to ensure that what I put into my body will sit right with my stomach. I find that a lot of protein shakes on the market are too sweet or just taste awful. Repair is great because it helps me to recover in between workouts by providing me with quality carbs and protein that don't upset my stomach, all while helping me to rehydrate.
"Inifnit great service and product"
Michel Charlebois on 2/7/2019 6:12:17 AM
Your Thoughts about the Product: Got it quickly and always looking forward to using it. So much easier after a good training than having to figure out what to drink / eat
"Excellent products and service"
simon robins on 1/7/2019 6:06:41 AM
Your Thoughts about the Product: Use both Raw and Repair. Excellent results, as advertised. Service from the Infinit team is second-to-none. Always there to answer questions and get products to the athletes as soon as required.
"The key to my next workout"
Marc LeBlanc on 12/27/2018 12:38:47 PM
Your Thoughts about the Product: Using REPAIR has dramatically improved my next workout performance by ensuring I recover properly, and quickly, from a hard workout. For me it is as important as on the bike nutrition.
"It works!"
Glenn Soucie on 9/9/2018 6:19:48 AM
Your Thoughts about the Product: I'd never used the Repair before until yesterday. I did my biggest ride ever (154kms) in some harsh winds that took just over 5hrs to complete. As soon as I got home, I used it and today my legs feel as though I didn't even ride. I will swear by this product forever.
"Perfect recovery drink and is delicious too"
William Ng on 7/22/2018 2:46:12 PM
Your Thoughts about the Product: Started using this after my long ride this year. I love the taste. Perfect immediate post-ride drink to give me time to prepare my meals without feeling hungry.
"My go-to when training around a busy life"
Marc LeBlanc on 7/20/2018 8:40:00 AM
Your Thoughts about the Product: Using recovery has made a marked difference on subsequent training rides after a hard session. I do my best do fuel on the bike and off but when life is busy I know I can depend on Repair to help me be my best on every ride.
"No more muscle soreness"
Guy Cote on 5/17/2018 8:30:01 AM
Your Thoughts about the Product: This must be the key component to my great recovery. I've been using Repair for a couple months now and have definitely noticed the quicker recovery post workouts. Specifically after a big stair climb competition and a marathon bike race. I fully expected my legs to be fried the next day but this has not been the case. Definitely highly recommended.
"Perfect Post Workout Drink"
Carey Vigneux on 4/25/2018 8:53:19 AM
Your Thoughts about the Product: I take advantage of this drink after many of my workouts. Helps my old body recover a little faster.

SourceNEW YORK - The city is suing 15 out-of-state gun shops it says supply a significant portion of the guns that flow into New York, including some that end up in the hands of criminals.
The lawsuit being filed Monday asks the federal court to order supervision and extra training for the dealers in Georgia, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina and Virginia. It also seeks some damages and compensation.
"By and large, most gun dealers respect and follow the law, but the small group of dealers that do not should be held accountable," Mayor Michael Bloomberg said in a statement.
The city's law department singled out the 15 gun shops after hiring private investigators who fanned out to dealers in the five states over the past several weeks.
Wearing hidden cameras, the investigators entered stores in teams of two and attempted "straw purchases," in which the buyer completes the paperwork and passes the background check, but later hands over the weapon to someone else who is not allowed to own a firearm.
The scam, prohibited by federal law, is typically used by people who are under 21 or convicted felons. The 15 dealers named in the suit sold guns to the undercover investigators. The city said the sales were refused at about 30 other shops.
The owners of two Georgia gun stores named in the lawsuit denied Monday that they did anything wrong.
Earl Drigers, the owner of A-1 Jewelry and Pawn, said he cooperated with police when they staged a sting at his shop, and believes he has always complied with the law.
"We certainly do everything we can to make sure guns don't leave our store illegally," Driggers said. "I don't know what you're supposed to do. If a guy comes in and meets all the criteria and you comply with the law, I don't know what you do."[/b]

Therapeutic Ultrasound for Rheumatoid Arthritis
People with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) suffer from stiffness, inflammation, and pain. This condition mostly affects the joints and in its advanced stages, can even deform joints and limit function and mobility. One of the most affected places in the body are the hands and feet. In the hands it can deform the metacarpophalangeal joints (the knuckles) and in the feet it can deform the metatarsophalangeal joints (where the toes meet the feet). With deformation, swelling, and pain, these people have a difficult time with regular activities of daily living.
en though doctors prescribe medications for this condition, they do very little to make it better and as with any medication, they also have side effects. Through years of research, alternative treatments for Rheumatoid Arthritis have emerged and they are just as effective as drugs without the side effects. One of these treatments is therapeutic ultrasound. Therapeutic ultrasound for RA patients produces sound waves that increase circulation, reduce stiffness, improve joint flexibility, and bring down the swelling to a certain degree.
For someone with RA this can increase their ability to perform daily activities by allowing them to walk longer distances or even increase their hand strength to grip objects. This is a major accomplishment because they can have a better quality of life without any side effects. Therapeutic ultrasound combined with regular physical activity are the perfect combination to control the pain and discomfort caused by this condition.

HAZELWOOD, Mo. – Boeing employees are taking precautions after the company discovered possible contaminants in the water at an eyewash station.
Workers at one of Boeing's production buildings were told to avoid drinking any water or using it for hand washing until tests could be completed.
It's unclear how many employees were affected by the incident. A few hundred people typically work in the building at any one time.
Boeing released the following statement Thursday night:
"During routine testing of an eyewash station earlier, today, Boeing discovered possible water supply contaminants at a location in one of our St. Louis production buildings. We instructed employees at that location to refrain from consuming the water or using it for hand washing until water testing is complete. Safety is a top Boeing priority and we are testing the water to ensure it is safe for our employees. We will provide employees with additional information when we receive test results."

Looks like I could have taken a little bit longer with finishing up my MT 3.2 templates, according to this post, Six apart has decided to release a 4th beta, instead of going final candidate. The list of remaining bugs is much smaller.. and I think it will be a very stable release… also of note, Jay Allen revealed why the new default templates have so much HTML/CSS code in them, even though the actual MT tags have been simplified.:
But now, we'd like to let you in on the "secret": We've unified the HTML structure used across all Six Apart products (Movable Type, TypePad and LiveJournal) to allow styles and designs to flow back and forth between our millions of customers.
This should make it easier for people to design new "themes" for MT, since so much information is now standard across the services. I'll probably switch Janice's Blog over to the new default template "Vicksburg" when I upgrade the site.. she'll probably want the color scheme changed..but that's easy..

Depression, Impaired Executive Function Shortens Survival in Glioblastoma
Depressive symptoms and impaired executive functioning, both common in patients with glioblastoma, are independently associated with shorter overall survival.
SUBSCRIBE: Print / eNewsletter
Depressive symptoms and impaired executive functioning, both common in patients with glioblastoma, are independently associated with shorter overall survival.
A core set of symptoms are common across brain tumor patients and underscore the complexity of brain tumors and their management.
New research suggests that characterizing low-grade gliomas according to molecular markers may be a more useful approach in order to guide treatment decisions.
The immunotherapeutic rindopepimut with bevacizumab yielded a significant survival improvement in relapsed glioblastoma patients with a EGFRvIII mutation.
A phase I trial of an oncolytic polio/rhinovirus vaccine was safe and showed promising efficacy in patients with recurrent glioblastoma.
Treating newly diagnosed glioblastoma with "tumor treating fields" is a safe and effective therapeutic option, according to a new trial.
The addition of procarbazine, CCNU, and vincristine to RT in patients with low-grade glioma prolongs progression-free and overall survival vs RT alone.
A combination of bevacizumab and lomustine showed promise in a randomized phase II trial of patients with recurrent glioblastoma, according to study results.
As part of our Society of Neuro-Oncology annual meeting coverage, we discuss quality of life issues and neurologic rehabilitation in patients with neuro-oncologic diseases.

The New World Football Agency is focused on providing high quality and ethical representation to both players and teams. As agents, it is our deep conviction that we have an obligation to represent "the whole person" and always work for the player's best interest, and not our own. We believe the player-agent relationship starts at the earliest stage possible. Within the US, as attorneys representing the top non-MLS youth soccer clubs, our agency has a steady pipeline and loyal audience of players and families that may become professional football players. We represent their clubs in a wide variety of legal matters, are held to a higher ethical standard than non-lawyer agents, and are trusted by the club leadership across the country to represent the players they produce. As part of the "whole person" concept, we believe it is our duty to prepare our clients and their families not only for life as a professional athlete, but also life post-football. New World Football Agency has strategic partnerships to help the athletes we represent, including dieticians, sports psychologists, investment bankers, a credit specialist, fitness experts, a PHD and former Professor of Sport's Management at Rice University, and also offers a player-to pro mentorship program. The CEO of the Agency, Aaron Jacob, is an experienced and trusted agent worldwide.
Our History
Our Agency represents, either directly or with other Agents, over hundreds of top quality professional football players. We also occasionally represent teams seeking to find the right players for their team. We also can coordinate with third parties as well to arrange the best transactions for all parties.
We represent a wide range of football players, from established senior professionals to young and upcoming talent. We representplayers that play in the US/Canada and abroad. We have extensive contacts with MLS clubs and United Soccer League (USL) (Division 2) with the US and Canada and foreign players agents regularly contact us first for players seeking play in North America.
We also specialize in negotiating and renegotiating playing and commercial contracts, and we are considered as one of the most focused and effective player/agent representation firms in the soccer industry.
Representative Matters
• Representing a Brazilian nation team player for placement with a top-level European or Chinese club
• Representing a former US men's national team player in seeking a return to the US and MLS
• Representation of a US women's nation team player in both agency and branding
The Agency also has available as a consultant Inaki Alvarez, the former Director of Operations of CONCACAF and Deputy Director and Head of Event Management at FIFA. Mr. Alvarez brings year of international experience in arranging matches and tournaments on the biggest stage in the world. He also has significant experience in navigating the international issues surrounding football matches.
The Agency will liaise with all third parties, and where necessary, arrange international and domestic flights, as well as organize every detail to include for professional teams luxury transport, hotels, and even pre-instructed meals and nutritional support for your convenience. The Agency can even provide an on-site personal representative/communications expert that is available 24/7 to assist a team in its visit.
Representative Matters
• Setting up a MLS preseason cup in a Southern city that involves 2 MLS teams and 2 European teams in friendly tournament and arranging all travel details for the European teams.
• Negotiating several international matches in an Asian destination for multiple national teams, and working with multiple national football associations, teams, and entities in a collaborative effort to arrange the matches
• Arranging an international tour for several A-League teams

TROY — Imagine a football team going to the Super Bowl by only playing its linebackers and running backs.
Or a baseball team posting a winning record without playing anyone in the outfield.
Picture a basketball team beating teams while only putting three players on the court at a time.
That is essentially how good the Troy girls track team has been in the field events this season. Those field events — shot put, discus, pole vault, long jump and high jump — will be front and center later this week as the Trojans prepare to defend their Greater Western Ohio Conference North Division title for the eighth year in a row.
"We scored 75 points at the Northmont Invitational in just the field events," Troy girls coach Kurt Snyder said. "And that's only five events (out of 17) — we averaged 15 points per field event."
As good as Troy is from top to bottom — a balanced roster in distance, sprints, hurdles and field events has been the key to Troy's unprecedented run of seven GWOC North titles in a row — it is the field events that have been racking up the most points per event for the Trojans this season.
At the Jack Lintz Northmont Invitational Snyder referenced, the Trojans did rack up 75 points in the field events alone — which would have been good enough to put the Trojans in fourth place — ahead of 12 other schools — in the team standings. Troy won both first and second places in the shot put, discus and pole vault, then placed second and fifth in the long jump and fourth and seventh in the high jump.
That was just one meet. All season long, the Trojans have been racking up points in field events by the bushel.
The Trojans aren't just impressive at local meets, either. Troy currently has some of the top field event competitors in the state on its roster. Sophomore Lenea Browder is ranked first in the state in both the shot put (48-6.5) and discus (156-3). Senior pole vaulter Christine Moser has the ninth-best Division I vault (11-8) in Ohio this season. Senior long jumper Camryn Moeller is ranked 14th in the state in the long jump (17-3.5). Senior shot putter Alaura Holycross has the 14th best throw (39-1) in the state.
Browder, Moser and Holycross all were state qualifiers last season. Moeller and senior discus thrower Kylee Brooks both were regional qualifiers. Junior Lilli Cusick regularly places in the pole vault, as does junior Annah Stanley in the long jump. Junior Jessica Goodwin and freshman Hallie Westmeyer have been scoring points all season in the high jump.
So why, exactly, are the Trojans so good in the field events? Having top-tier athletes is a good start, Snyder said, but tells only part of the story. He gives much of the credit to his assistant coaches.
"With the coaches we have in the field events, I don't know who can match us," Snyder said. "We've got a former head coach working with our high jumpers and long jumpers. We've got a legend working with our pole vaulters. And we've got one of the best young coaches in the state working with our throwers."
The Troy coaching staff really is like an all-star line-up. Herb Hartman has been coaching track and field at Troy for 51 years. The former boys and girls coach currently works with Troy's pole vaulters. Brad Clendening, who works with Troy's long jumpers and high jumpers, was the head boys coach at Bethel High School for the better part of two decades. Throwing coach Aaron Gibbons already has coached two state placers and five state qualifiers since arriving at Troy six years ago.
"A lot of it is coaching," Moser said. "How else are you ever going to learn to do something like pole vaulting if nobody told you how? Troy has one of the best coaches in the state. Where else are you going to find someone with as much experience as Coach Hartman? He helps me stay focused and always has positive vibes. He's been a huge part of my career."
For Moeller, the coaching she has received has been particularly crucial. Moeller — who will play volleyball at Ohio State in the fall — played softball her first two years of high school before coming out for the track team for the first time last spring. She didn't start long jumping until midway through her junior year.
"(Clendening) basically had to teach me how to long jump from scratch," she said. "I had never done anything like this before. He had to teach me how to long jump. He's taught me everything I know. I didn't even know what the rules were. He's a great coach."
Browder gives Gibbons much of the credit for her incredible success rate this season.
"Coach 'Gibbs' helps me out a lot with everything I'm doing right now," said Browder, who has finished second just once this season in the shot put and discus. He's always taking video and pointing out things I need to work on. He's very helpful, not just as a coach, but also because he's so encouraging."
Gibbons is so good, Holycross said, that other teams and throwers are jealous of the program the Trojans have built.
"He's a great coach," she said. "You'll see throwers at other schools that have a lot of potential, but they don't have as good a coach as we do. He's always putting in the extra time to help out."
That includes the time Gibbons gives in the weightroom, too. In addition to being Troy's throwing coach, he's also the head strength and conditioning coach at Troy. While talent and coaching have made the Trojans great, all of the field event athletes say it's hard work that has helped them take things to the next level.
"The majority of us in the field events are in there lifting before school," Moser said. "We are there at 5:45 a.m. with Mr. Gibbons. We are all in there lifting all through the summer and winter. It's definitely helped bring us closer together."
Which is perfect, considering those competing in the field events often lead a solitary life at meets. There are no relay events for the field athletes. While runners gather the crowd's attention on the track — where it's easy to discern who finishes first, second and third — field athletes often compete in out-of-the-way locations and it's not always easy to tell who is winning and losing with the naked eye.
Throwers often will compete outside the confines of the stadium entirely. Browder has broken her own school records in the shot and discus a half-dozen times this season, usually with only her family, friends and fellow competitors watching her.
"It's definitely different than competing in a running event," Snyder said."You only have one person going at a time, so you don't have someone right next to you pushing you like you do on the track. You also don't have the crowd watching and pushing you. When you don't have someone else to push you, you've got to be able to push yourself.
"Those are the kinds of kids we've got in our field events right now. We've got kids who are always in the weightroom pushing themselves. We've got kids in practice who are always pushing themselves and working on their craft. We've got indoor facilities that allow our kids to work all winter. We have given our kids the opportunities, and they have taken advantage of them."

The Hexham-based National Beef Association (NBA), working closely with the pedigree sector, has revised its terms and conditions of sale to make them more robust and workable for both purchasers and vendors of pedigree cattle, within the practicalities of the insurance and legal industry.
The NBA Rules, as they have been termed for many years, were adopted by breed societies for use at their society sales and have formed a base for resolving any disputes arising after sale.
Formerly, a charge was made through the auctioneer to cover the NBA cost to both purchaser and vendor.
But now the body has decided to make the new revised terms available free of charge to its breed society members, for use at their society sales.
Chairman of the NBA Pedigree Committee and board director Caroline Poultney said: "We have taken the original rules as the basis for this revised set of terms and conditions, and they have been approved by veterinary, insurance and legal professionals as a sound basis for settling any potential disputes between buyer and seller.
"However, as breed societies, we would always advocate an amicable settling of any issues as soon as possible, without recourse to legal proceedings unless absolutely necessary."
The National Beef Association is recognised as the beef cattle industry's consultative body and the voice for a wide range of beef-related national industry committees, which direct national beef industry policy.
A company registered by guarantee with membership being open to everyone with an interest in the British cattle industry, it promotes the breeding of beef cattle, best practice throughout the production chain and the highest standards of cattle health in the UK
It also aims to improve and widen the scope of beef labelling for the benefits of consumers, while helping relieve hardship among beef farmers and their employees.
The NBA has a total of 30 breed society members.
Chief executive Chris Mallon said: "One of the benefits of membership of the NBA is that we are there to listen to our members at all levels.
"These changes are a perfect example of us listening to not just our members but to our pedigree committee.
"It is always important to review legislative documents to ensure that they are appropriate and in line with the current needs of the industry."
The revised rules are available from the National Beef Association and from society auctioneers.

Taking the time to plan your meals is one of the best ways you can prepare for a houseboat vacation. While it can be tempting to take the path of least resistance with hamburgers and hot dogs every night, it can get a bit repetitive. If you're ready to change up your houseboat menu, look no further; at Forever Houseboats we have compiled a few fantastic houseboat meal ideas to add some tasty variety to your next houseboat vacation.
Pizza on the Grill
If you have never grilled pizza before, it's high time you did. Preheat the gas BBQ grill on your houseboat and go for a hot, 550 degrees. We suggest you start with a prebaked pizza crust. Top your crust with sauce, cheese, and your favorite toppings – all of which can be sliced and portioned in advanced. Place the pizza on the grill, close the lid, and cook for 3 to 5 minutes. Now you're ready to enjoy your pizza on top of your houseboat.
Olive Stuffed Pork Tenderloin
A step above a simple pork roast, this stuffed tenderloin is surprisingly simple. Prepare a 2- to 4-pound pork tenderloin in a brine of your choosing. A basic brine includes 2 cups of water, 2 tablespoons of salt, a clove or two of minced garlic and a tablespoon of peppercorns. The pork can be frozen in this brine then defrosted on the lake. Once defrosted, rinse the tenderloin and pat dry.
Slice the tenderloin in half lengthwise, leaving about a quarter of an inch. Then do the same for each half, so you have four connected triangular strips of tenderloin. Smear olive tapenade in the valleys where you made the cuts. Roll the tenderloin back up and tie with butcher's twine. Bake in a 450-degree oven until it reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees, about 45 minutes.
Thai Red Curry with Jasmine Rice
Made entirely with non-perishable ingredients, this recipe requires no preparation except the packing. For the rice: bring 1 cup of rice and 1.5 cups of water to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Let rest for 10 more minutes before serving. For the curry: heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add 1 teaspoon of red curry paste to the oil. When it starts to smoke, add 1 can each: sliced mushrooms, water chestnuts, bamboo shoots, and baby corn. Stir until well combined. Add 1 can of coconut milk and simmer for ten minutes. Serve with jasmine rice.
At Forever Houseboats, all of our houseboats come with a fully equipped kitchen. As a result, the menu options for your next houseboat vacation are limited only by your imagination. Ready for some great meals on your houseboat vacation? Contact us to book your houseboat rental today.

A nice article about the Open Review Toolkit appeared on the blog Social Science Space. Here it is: Crowd-Sourcing As a Complement to Peer Review.
A nice article about the Open Review Toolkit appeared on the blog Social Science Space. Here it is: Crowd-Sourcing As a Complement to Peer Review.
One of the most helpful parts of Open Review is annotations. As I've written about elsewhere, these annotations really helped me improve Bit by Bit. However, the proportion of readers who actually annotated Bit by Bit was quite low (less than 1%). So, some authors might wonder: how can I get more annotations on my manuscript? In this post, I'll offer three ideas. If you have other ideas or data about the effectiveness of any of these approaches, please let me know.
This guest post was written by jimi adams and was originally published on the blog Scatterplot.
I never envisioned myself as a book person. I'd grown pretty comfortable writing in article-length ideas. I work in interdisciplinary fields though, so the length of articles varies considerably (I've submitted pieces anywhere from 2500 to 14k+ words), but books felt like a completely different animal.
I recently finally took the book plunge, first for a SAGE "little green book" on Gathering Social Network Data mainly because it's a book I've wished existed quite a few times when teaching social networks at various points and to a range of audiences over the past decade or so. Also, the QASS books being more in the 40k word range than a "full" monograph closer to 90k, it felt like a good way to "ease in."
A couple of days after submitting my manuscript for peer review, I bumped into Matt Salganik at the ASA annual meetings, and he suggested I consider posting it for Open Review while it was undergoing the traditional review process. The basic idea of Open Review is to make available a version of the manuscript that's readable — and hopefully commented upon— by anyone who's interested and willing before the text is finalized. Matt framed the utility of Open Review as potentially bolstering sales once actually published, and likely making for a more readable manuscript. It was the latter that intrigued me, but it's likely his claim about the former that led the publisher to give it a whirl.
After a conversation with Helen Salmon at ASA, and some follow-up emails with others at SAGE about how they'd feel about the idea, they gave me the go ahead to try this with my manuscript. Matt had convinced me the conversion should be relatively straightforward, so I started trying to figure things out.
I had written my manuscript using the LaTeX template SAGE has for the QASS series. It was my first real attempt at using LaTeX, so that's not my "native language" or anything, but I found the transition to that given some background with html, etc. relatively navigable. So at submission I had a LaTeX manuscript. The question was how much work that was going to take to convert to something usable for open review.
Matt and some colleagues developed the Open Review Toolkit, which converts a Markdown manuscript into a set of webpages, which incorporate the hypothes.is web mark-up capabilities into a site to host the open review process.
In theory, pandoc should allow for conversion between LaTeX and markdown relatively smoothly. But in my experience that wasn't the case. Basically all tables, some figures, and most cross-referenced information (e.g., citations) didn't port accurately with the attempts I made. I asked the recommended developers that Matt had worked with what it would take for them to help with the conversion. They quoted a price that I'm sure was reasonable, but since I don't really have a budget to support this project, even that was more than I was ready to spend out of pocket. So thought I'd see if I could make it happen myself with the available documentation and a few support emails. My threshold was that I'd give it three days, no more.
I ended up converting the whole manuscript to R-Markdown, in large part because there were some things that I'm aiming to start using that for elsewhere (mainly teaching-wise), so figured it would be good opportunity to learn (also new to me). At that point, I also stumbled across the bookdown package that helped with some of that. In bulk, that worked pretty well. But I still needed to re-build the tables, and re-format the captioning of the figures. Perhaps most problematically, some of the cross-referenced citations worked seamlessly, while others didn't. This is probably the result of my being a newbie to LaTeX, and having used quite a few different citation code formats that may have not been compatible.
So, that meant that I had to work through those elements manually to fix for the markdown version. For tables and figures, that was relatively straight forward. But for the citations, etc. I basically had to read my way through to find the errors, since I wasn't sure exactly which ones had and had not worked. You'll probably still find quite a few places where I didn't catch all of those needed fixes (sentences without a subject referencing someone else's work).
Getting from R-markdown to markdown was a relatively simple conversion within R-Studio. So now I had a Markdown version of my manuscript. It was then quite directly implemented in the way the ORT is designed, as is described here. I.e., that was the real instruction manual I used for building the site I ended up with. The only real changes we made at that point, were a few points that I thought were useful adaptations of the versions posted to their GitHub site (Luke Baker added footnote support, since I tend to speak and think with parentheticals embedded in basically everything I say, and adapted the way Figure callbacks are available online). All in all, once I had a markdown book, the process was pretty workable. And I wrapped it all up well within my 3 day limitation, even with having to do a fair amount of the table/figure conversion into markdown manually.
Was the process worthwhile? Well, honestly, we'll have to wait to see. So far, people seem to be reading the manuscript. But the amount of feedback I've received so far is thinner than I'd hoped for. Maybe this will help. Maybe I should add a "deadline" that will motivate people not to assume they'll get back to providing such feedback later (I know that was something that limited how much of Matt's book I made it through online. But from an N of 1 if SAGE is reading this, it is what sparked me to buy his book almost immediately upon it's release).
So, it's up. I hope people find it useful, and welcome any and all feedback you might have to make for a better book.

The Open Review Toolkit is designed to help create better books, higher sales, and increased access to knowledge. All of these goals—especially increased access to knowledge—could be advanced if all books could be published in all languages simultaneously. Unfortunately, that's not possible yet. But, machine translations can help us move in the right direction, and so the Open Review Toolkit has excellent support for hosting the same manuscript in many languages. In this blog post, I'll describe our experience machine translating my new book Bit by Bit Social Research in the Digital Age into more than 100 languages. The process took just a few days and cost about 30 US dollars per language.
After my book, Bit by Bit: Social Research in the Digital Age, went through Open Review, I was excited that the First edition was finally ready to be printed and posted online. Then I ran into a problem. How should I post the First edition online while preserving the Open Review edition and all of the accompanying annotations? In this post, I'll explain the problem in detail and describe what we ended up doing.
If you want to skip all the details, here's what I recommend for other authors using the Open Review Toolkit:

The construction industry is full of heroes. So many volunteer their time to help those in need. And, this plasterer, Aaron Pearson, does just that.
Volunteering with charity 'Autism Isolation No More', Aaron has created some incredible sensory spaces for those in need. Not only that, but he has also gone above and beyond to help the charity. Started 5 years ago, Aaron got involved with the charity creating their first inclusion centre. Located in a shopping centre, there was a lot of work to be done as the shop had been derelict for close to a decade.
But, this didn't phase Aaron. Instead, he got to work removing all of the shelving, plastering and painting the space. He even laid the carpet and a whole bunch of added extras. Unfortunately though, upon turning on the electrics, a small electrical fire took place and smoked out the rooms. And, to make matters worse, when the electricians were called into safety check the lights, they stole all of the sensory lights and some of the equipment!
Aaron described, "It was a major set back but they carried on trying to make the best of it."
The place looking completely transformed, there was finally some light for the charity. Unfortunately though, it wasn't long before they were dealt with another blow. Suddenly, massive stickers advertising the space were slapped onto the windows by management. This caused the windows to crack and the charity had to cancel events due to this. Wanting to make sure everything was safe though, they got the windows replaced on their own insurance.
As if matters couldn't get worse, the charity was also later told, with no prior warning, the place had been taken over, and they had 5 days to move out. The plasterer added: "I helped by hiring a van and packing up."
"It was devastating for them."
"They had invested everything they had into it, and they lost it all."
"So desperate times called for desperate measures."
"Not wanting to let the families and children down, we converted our own living room into a sensory space."
"A full-on sensory experience, we have all the stuff now; bubble tubes, fibre optics, interactive panels, ball pits, and soft play, but that can't last forever."
Currently, it has been like this for the past year. But now, the charity has found the perfect piece of land to build an inclusion centre on. It's currently registered as 'other community facility.' However, if not purchased by the charity, it will be sold to a property developer.
Aaron described, "We would love to buy this and build our log cabin, we have 10k worth of building materials ready to go!"
"We just need your support!"
"All we want to do is help families with autism to be included and to help them reach their fullest potential."
He added, "I believe in this project."
"I believe in the need for real support for families with autism (an actual place not just a website!)"
"And I am on a mission to build them a rural early intervention inclusion centre for children with special needs specialising in autistic spectrum conditions, complete with a sensory room and family area in a natural setting."
So what do you think? Could you help this plasterer out? Then head over to the crowdfunding page now. And show your support in the comments below.

In the late 1970's, my father drank Lipton instant iced tea every night with dinner. I know this, because it was my "job" to make dad's tea. Pretty simple: 1 scoop of Lipton instant tea in a tall glass with ice cubes and water. Stir and serve. Not fancy or flavorful, but convenient. Being a child, I complained about this chore. Things were different back then, though, we did not have ice makers in our freezers. We had handle ice-cube trays, that were very stubborn about releasing ice. Ice cubes are not the only item to improve in the last 40 years. Lipton has expanded their offerings to include more than instant iced tea. Recently they launched a low-calorie drink mix called Tea & Honey. Flavors include blackberry pomegranate … [Read more...]

Greek Yogurt, Vanilla Flavored products
The yogurt aisle at the supermarket in the US has changed. In 2010, Greek yogurt accounted for 20% of total yogurt sales. (Chicago Tribune March 16, 2012). Greek yogurt has a creamier texture, higher protein content, tarter/less sweet taste and higher cost than traditional yogurt. The consumer will pay more for this yogurt; in some cases $0.30-0.80 more per cup. If you are relatively new to Greek yogurt, following are taste comparisons of some of the vanilla flavor products on the market. Greek Gods is my favorite product. I choose the low-fat version of this yogurt flavored with vanilla cinnamon orange. It reminds me of a custard. Greek Gods makes a truly delicious, treat like product. All flavors in this product are truly natural … [Read more...]
