The Entire USDA National Nutrient DB: Calories to Vitamin K - iNutrients

The Entire USDA National Nutrient DB: Calories to Vitamin K - iNutrients - Published on 12/17/18

Indie developer James Hollender offers version 3.1.1 of his iNutrients app with the entire USDA National Nutrient Database (Internet access NOT required) for: Calories, Carbohydrates, Dietary Cholesterol, Fiber, Potassium, Proteins, Saturated Fat, Sodium, Sugars and Vitamin K. The database now includes 8,789 different foods and 15,438 food servings. Even with this large quantity it may still not be enough. Users can now add their own custom foods and food servings to help fill that gap.

Revere, Massachusetts - Indie developer James Hollender offers version 3.1.1 of his iNutrients app with the latest USDA National Nutrient Database (SR-28), which requires no Internet access, for 10 nutrients: Calories, Carbohydrates, Dietary Cholesterol, Fiber, Potassium, Proteins, Saturated Fat, Sodium, Sugars and Vitamin K. The database now includes 8,789 different foods and 15,438 food servings.

Despite the enormous number of foods and food servings in the USDA National Nutrient Database, there are still many which aren't included, especially most name brands. Having the capability of defining Custom Foods that are missing fills this gap, which then makes keeping track of daily nutritional intake more complete.

It's extremely slick to be able to input the information from a packaged food's nutrition label and moments later see color codings for all ten nutrients indicating the ranking of their concentration. As an example the developer talks about a popular brand name frozen dinner.

Once the data from the nutrition label is input and saved, the color rankings show up for the Custom Food indicating Carbohydrates are Extremely High (Black); Sodium is Very High (Dark Red); Calories are High (Red); Potassium, Saturated Fat & Sugars are Moderately High (Orange); Proteins are Moderate (Yellow); Cholesterol & Fiber are Moderately Low (Light Green); and Vitamin K is Unknown (Gray) because data wasn't available. This immediately points out that maybe this small meal, eaten frequently, isn't as nutritionally good as originally thought.

Each Custom Food Definition has one main Serving Size and an allowance to add up to three additional ones. Nutrient data is extrapolated for each of the additional Serving Sizes based on their weight compared to the main Serving Size.

There is nothing that prevents the user from collecting nutritional information for a complete meal and then creating a single Custom Food for that meal. This provides the capability to speed input of the same meal eaten frequently.

All Custom Food Definitions are automatically included in searches of the entire USDA database.

If for some reason the user doesn't agree with the developer's default Color Scales for the ten nutrients covered, each individual scale can be customized. Making a change will be reflected for all previously recorded data when next presented.

The iNutrients app provides information based on the USDA National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference concerning ten key nutrients:

* Calories - Great for anyone concerned about weight management
* Carbohydrates - Used to make glucose which is the fuel that gives you energy
* Cholesterol - Dietary Cholesterol - Aids in the production of Vitamin D
* Fiber - Essential for cardiovascular health; prevents constipation; improves control of diabetes
* Potassium - Helps with anxiety and stress; blood pressure; brain function; cramps, etc.
* Proteins - Important for Bodybuilders, Vegetarians or Vegans
* Saturated Fat - Eat only moderate amounts to keep healthy
* Sodium - Would you believe there's sodium in water?
* Sugars - Help keep your sugar intake under control
* Vitamin K - Vitamins K1, K1D & K2 - Extremely important for anyone taking Blood Thinning Medications like Coumadin or Warfarin

These nutrients are listed and presented throughout the app in alphabetical order. Icons used to help easily identify the nutrients are from other apps by the developer, each covering a single nutrient corresponding to the nutrients in this app are used throughout. For the price of just a little more than two individual nutrient apps, users can get all ten nutrients in a single app.

iNutrients utilizes information taken from 100% of the USDA National Nutrient Database for each of these ten nutrients, unlike the individual apps which only cover less than 10% of what's available. Users will find the Search functionality lightning fast as all needed infromation from the USDA database is local to the app - no internet connectivity is required.

From the Search functionality the user can save information for the foods they eat each day. They are able to pick a serving size and then either record a multiple of 0.1 - 9.9 servings; or optionally create a custom serving size from 1 to 500 grams. As they change the serving size they can graphically see the the effect on the various nutrients via color coding ranging from white to black:

* Black - Extremely High
* Dark Red - Very High
* Red - High
* Orange - Moderately High
* Yellow - Moderate
* Light Green - Moderately Low
* Green - Low
* Light Blue - Very Low
* White - Extremely Low

The My Data section allows users to access up to a full year's worth of Food Serving Intake Items stored in their Personal iNutrients Database. Select any Intake Item to get the complete information available. From the display users can tap the Action button in the upper right corner to:

* Delete - Delete the current Food Serving.

* Change Number of Servings - Change the number of Servings for the current Food Intake Item.

* Change the Intake Date - Move the current Food Serving to another day. - This is extremely useful if the user wasn't able to enter what they've eaten on the day it occurred; just simply enter it and then use this function to change to the date needed.

* Copy the Intake Item to Today - This allows the user to copy an individual Food Intake Item from any day, making a copy for the current day.

Also available is an allowance to copy all the Food Intake Items from a single day to the current day. This is extremely handy for people who eat the same foods on a regular basis.

The Customize section provides a means for users to create their own Custom Color Scale for each nutrient if desired in addition to the new feature of creating or updating Custom Food Definitions.

This universal app shows rotating images occasionally on the right, when run on an iPad, that are representative of the 25 different Food Groups designated by the USDA. Versions of these images will typically be seen whenever a food group is identified on iPad, iPhone or iPod touch. More features are planned for upcoming future releases, especially in the areas of customization and reporting.

James Hollender is also the creator of the Life Inventory apps which allow users to discover more about themselves than they ever thought possible, and at just a small fraction the cost of a single visit to a therapist.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad or iPod touch
* iOS 6.0 or later
* Universal Application
* 43 MB

Pricing and Availability:
iNutrients is $7.99 (USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the iTunes App Store in the Health & Fitness and Medical categories. Review copies are available on request to qualified organizations.

DEVONthink To Go 2.7 adds push notifications for sync, PDF outline view

A new article has been published at prMac.

DEVONthink To Go 2.7 adds push notifications for sync, PDF outline view - Published on 12/17/18

DEVONtechnologies today releases DEVONthink To Go 2.7, an important update to its mobile document and information manager for iOS devices. Serving as repository for a large variety of data types DEVONthink To Go lets users keep their important documents with them at all times. It offers a rich set of organizing features as well as built-in viewers and editors for many file formats. Version 2.7 offers push notifications, an outline view for PDF documents, as well as further enhancements.

Coeur d'Alene, Idaho - DEVONtechnologies updates its iOS document and information manager DEVONthink To Go with push notifications for faster synchronization, an outline view for PDF documents, as well as further enhancements. The update is free and recommended for all users.

DEVONthink is DEVONtechnologies' document and information management solution for the Mac. It supports a large variety of file formats and stores them in a database enhanced by artificial intelligence (AI). Many document formats can be directly viewed and edited, PDFs annotated. DEVONnote is DEVONthink's little sibling with a reduced feature set targeted at users with notetaking-centric needs.

Sophisticated organization tools, AI-based techniques that handle even the largest collections, and numerous integration options make DEVONthink the work environment of choice for researchers, lawyers, and educators. With its fast, reliable, and secure synchronization users keep their data available on all their Macs and iOS devices. DEVONthink To Go for iPad and iPhone completes the DEVONthink ecosystem.

* Keep your data together in one place
* Scan your paper, archive your email
* Let artificial intelligence help you file your data
* Sync your data to all your devices, fast and secure
* Share your data with anyone, whether they use Mac or PC

New in DEVONthink To Go 2.7:
This release adds push notifications to the synchronization. Whenever users make changes to their databases on their Mac, iPad, or iPhone, DEVONthink (To Go) sends notifications to all other devices. This decreases the amount of time before changes are available on all devices. It also enables DEVONthink To Go to receive the new data in the background.

For those who work with long PDF documents, DEVONthink To Go 2.7 adds an outline view. It lets the user browse the table of content and quickly navigate to other parts of the document.

Other improvements in this update include the ability to sort by date added. An alert lets users clean a sync store after changing its encryption key. When viewing PDFs the app chooses one- or two-page mode more reliably. Dragging messages from the Mail app to DEVONthink To Go sets the creation date to the messages' date. This way users can better sort them by date received. Finally, its now possible to open search results without dismissing the software keyboard first.

"With push notifications we've made synchronizing data across devices a much more natural experience. Strong encryption ensures that our users can rely on the cloud services of their choice without comprimising privacy. The push notifications help distribute new information to all devices quickly. Of course, we anonymize the data that we need for this and store as less data as possible", comments Eric Böhnisch-Volkmann, DEVONtechnologies' President.

Of course, version 2.7 fixes issues and improves the general reliabilty of DEVONthink To Go too.

The update is free for existings users and highly recommended. The push notification service requires DEVONthink for Mac 2.11 or later and DEVONthink To Go 2.7 or later on participating devices.

System requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
* iOS 10 or later

LinkOptimizer for InDesign Now Disables Content-Aware Fit in CC 2019

A new article has been published at prMac.

LinkOptimizer for InDesign Now Disables Content-Aware Fit in CC 2019 - Published on 12/17/18

Zevrix Solutions announces LinkOptimizer 5.2.15, a feature update to company's workflow automation solution for Adobe InDesign. LinkOptimizer works with Photoshop to lets users automatically scale and crop images to their InDesign size at specified target resolution, convert image formats, adjust colors, embed profiles and more. The new version automatically disables the content aware-fit option in InDesign document preferences before processing to avoid incorrect placement of optimized images.

Toronto (ON), Canada - Zevrix Solutions today announces LinkOptimizer 5.2.15, a feature update to its image processing automation solution for Adobe InDesign. Awarded 4 out of 5 stars by Computer Arts magazine, LinkOptimizer automates complex image manipulation tasks and helps users reduce the size of InDesign links, save prepress costs, and easily repurpose InDesign documents for web and mobile devices.

The new version automatically disables the content aware-fit option for placed images before processing eliminating the need for users to uncheck it manually in InDesign CC 2019 preferences. The content-aware fit feature applies artificial intelligence to placing images by automatically scaling and repositioning the image with the best parts of it displayed. This results in incorrect placement of links processed by LinkOptimizer, which is now automatically prevented. LinkOptimizer also restores the original state of the content-aware fit option after the processing is done, if needed.

"LinkOptimizer has changed my life and saved me days and days of work as a retoucher for an international quarterly magazine," says Steve Krason of Chicago based SK Design Group. "It's a lifesaver".

LinkOptimizer works automatically with Photoshop to eliminate the excess image data of InDesign links, perform essential image adjustments and convert image formats. For example, with just a click of a button users can:

* Optimize dozens of InDesign files
* Scale and crop images to match their dimensions in InDesign
* Change their resolution to 300 dpi
* Convert RGB images to CMYK
* Resave JPEGs as TIFF
* Run a Photoshop action on each image.

As a result users can save gigabytes of disk space and countless hours of optimizing images manually, accelerate document output, reduce job turnaround and cut costs through faster processing.

Pricing and Availability:
LinkOptimizer can be purchased from Zevrix website for US$259.95 (Lite version: $179.95) as well as from Adobe Exchange and authorized resellers. A trial is also available for download. The update is free for LinkOptimizer 5.x users and $130 to upgrade from previous versions. LinkOptimizer requires macOS 10.7-10.14 and Adobe InDesign / Photoshop CS5-CC 2019.
