App Helps Parents of Autistic Children Manage Gluten/Casein-Free Diets - Published on 02/05/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Many autistic children benefit from applied behavior therapy or repetition, while others achieve success with floor time therapy which helps them learn about emotions. In addition, because there is a link between gut health and brain function many parents also turn to gluten-free and casein-free diets (GFCF) to bring about changes in speech and behavior. The problem with a GFCF diet is it can be complicated so Vicky Mitchell created the Rotation Diet Assistant App.

Kalamazoo, Michigan - Parents of children with autism invest much time, effort and research into finding an approach to help their son or daughter achieve maximum development and as full and rich a life as possible. Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are developmental disorders that affect children by disrupting their ability to communicate and interact socially.

Many autistic children benefit from applied behavior therapy or repetition, while others achieve success with floor time therapy which helps them learn about emotions. In addition, because there is a link between gut health and brain function many parents also turn to gluten-free and casein-free diets to bring about changes in speech and behavior.

The gluten-free/casein-free (GFCF) diet eliminates all food containing gluten (found in wheat, barley and rye) and casein (found in milk and dairy products). It is commonly believed that autistic children process peptides and foods containing gluten and casein differently than others which exacerbates autistic symptoms.

"The hoped for result of a GFCF diet is to reduce symptoms and improve social and cognitive behaviors and speech, and improved digestive and immune systems" says Vicky Mitchell, a gluten-free and rotation diet expert and health coach. "The GFCF diet, is easier to manage when parents have a system."

One system Mitchell has developed is The Rotation Diet Assistant iPhone App, an easy-to-use yet highly effective tool now available on iTunes. Parents of autistic children seeking to restrict gluten and casein foods must take copious notes and engage in serious planning, until now.

"This powerful tool now makes it possible for autistic children and their parents to concentrate all their energy into living instead of on their diets," says Mitchell. "This App makes it easy to follow a GFCF diet."

The features of The Rotation Diet Assistant include:

*Easy to organize your meals. Step by step, The Rotation Diet Assistant effortlessly walks you through organizing and planning your GFCF diet.

* User friendly. Food groups and food families are identified FOR you.

* Easy to modify. Changing and/or adding foods to your personalized meal plan is easy to do with The Rotation Diet Assistant.

* Planner-Friendly! Whether it is today, next week or next month, using The Rotation Diet Assistant makes knowing what you are scheduled to eat a snap.

* Portable. If you have your phone, you have your Rotation Diet Assistant and your personalized meal plan with you wherever you go.

For those already on a diet, The Rotation Diet Assistant helps you achieve your goals because it complements nearly all diets including: DASH, TLC, Mediterranean, Atkins, South Beach, Paleo, Biggest Loser, Ornish, Vegan, Weight Watchers and Jenny Craig. The app is getting high marks from users including The Detroit News which named the Rotation Diet Assistant App "The App of the Week." The app is being promoted by Scott Lorenz of Westwind iPhone App Publicity.

Mitchell developed The Rotation Diet Assistant because she is passionate about health and healthy eating. She has been gluten-free for more than a decade and by consistently following the Rotation Diet is releasing candida, eczema and other allergies from her system.

The methods Mitchell used to help and heal her family (including a son with Asperger's Syndrome) and herself have been applied in developing this App so that the methods are now available to benefit others.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 6.0 or later
* 10.4 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Rotation Diet Assistant 1.0.1 is $1.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Food & Drink category. An Android version is due out in early 2014.

Child of the Week 1.0.2 released for iOS - Minimize Sibling Rivalry - Published on 02/05/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Looking for a way to minimize sibling rivalry, and create peace and harmony in your home? Then look no further! Child of the Week works on a rotational basis, whereby all your children, from youngsters to teens, get to be the leader in your own home for the week. By benefitting from the perks and working for the chores, Child of the Week teaches children the role they play in contributing to the household. This system teaches fairness and equality, giving each child a sense of responsibility.

Singapore - A new App for families has been touted to bring about peace in the home. Child of the Week is an exciting new App that will help households run more smoothly and prevent arguments over those little things, like whose turn it is to choose a movie to watch or sit in the front seat of the car.

Child of the Week is a concept that creates harmony and peace in the busy lives of families by helping parents manage their children. Created by Rachael Cox, an Australian mother of four who was looking for a way to minimise sibling rivalry, the App is now available to download from iTunes.

"I so clearly remember when my oldest two children Jemima and Jacob were six and five years old and I asked them how their day was, they both wanted to blurt out everything straight away, bombarding me with their stories and list of activities. They were talking over each other and became frustrated and started to argue.

"That was it, I thought there has got to be a better, fairer way and they need to learn to take turns," said Rachael.

Ten years on, Rachael's children now range in age from nine to seventeen years and the system still works very well.

"I wasn't sure how it would work with older children but it's even better because the teenagers know what is expected and they are both onboard."

Child of the Week works on a rotational basis, where all children, from youngsters to teens, get to be the leader (within boundaries) in the home, for the week. It provides children with the important role of decision maker within the household. They benefit from the perks and work for the chores.

By programming perks and chores, and participating in family discussions, the application brings families together through shared, rotational responsibilities, chosen by the parent, specifically for each child.

Rachael says the system teaches the children fairness, equality and understanding, and gives each child a sense of achievement. Each child gets a turn at being Child of the Week, increasing their self esteem by empowering them with responsibility.

"Chores could include setting and clearing the table, stacking and unstacking the dishwasher, making their bed, getting letters from the letter box, whatever works for your family. For older kids, mowing the lawn, driving the car or looking after younger siblings may apply," she said.

"The advantage of this concept is they also get perks such as sitting in the front or middle seat in the car, being dropped at school first, choosing what to have for dinner, choosing where to go for dinner, what movie to watch, what family outing to go on, spending one on one time with Mum ad Dad, or using the computer first," said Rachael.

"Initially I talked about it to lots of people and they began to use the method and realised it worked for them too. So I came up with the idea of an App to make it readily accessible to everyone who wants it," said Rachael.

"Children love being Child of the Week because they feel empowered. It promotes maturity by teaching them about leadership and patience. It also teaches respect as they must respect the other child's decision.

"It's fantastic from a parent's point of view too as there are no fights or arguments, I love that it brings a sense of calm to the house. It is also a great way to connect with your children. I truly love spending quality time with each child and sometimes we forget to put aside that special time."

The Padcaster Mini Kickstarts Production Dreams - Published on 02/05/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The Padcaster is proud to announce the Kickstarter campaign Padcaster Mini: On-the-Fly Filmmaking With the iPad mini. The team behind The Padcaster hopes to remove the limit on creative possibilities with the addition of The Padcaster Mini to its lineup of tablet production tools. Money raised will be put toward the initial cost of designing, prototyping and manufacturing The Padcaster Mini. Shoot, edit and upload HD footage with the iPad mini and Padcaster Mini rig.

New York City, New York - The creators of the Original Padcaster and Padcaster Air transformed your iPad into a mobile production studio, putting form and function in league with your imagination. The Padcaster won the filmmaking community over with its elegant simplicity, and now they are ready to see the line of gear expand. "We're asked repeatedly when a version for the iPad mini will be released," says Josh Apter, the company's founder. To answer the call for a Padcaster Mini, the team behind The Padcaster is launching a Kickstarter campaign. "With the Original Padcaster and Padcaster Air Kit already in production, having been funded almost entirely out of pocket, it would be impossible to continue production while simultaneously researching and developing a Padcaster for the iPad mini."

Dubbed "a must have" by CNET with an outstanding 4.5-star review and featured in Apple's gorgeous new iPad Air "Your Verse" campaign, The Padcaster inspires innovative pro workflows while transforming enthusiasts into artists. Based on the same design as the Original Padcaster, The Padcaster Mini will feature a sturdy aluminum frame with a flexible insert, optimized for the iPad mini. Offering the same impressive 1080p HD video recording capabilities as the iPad Air in a smaller, lighter and more compact package, the iPad mini is the perfect Padcaster companion, making The Padcaster Mini a natural evolution in Padcaster production.

With a Kickstarter goal of $15,000 and 30 days to make it happen, the team behind The Padcaster hopes to remove the limit on creative possibilities with the addition of The Padcaster Mini to its lineup of tablet production tools. Money raised will be put toward the initial cost of designing, prototyping and manufacturing The Padcaster Mini. Those who back The Padcaster Mini Kickstarter campaign will receive exclusive perks, from a Padcaster of their choice to a baker's dozen of famous New York City bagels to a Livestream tutorial session with Padcaster inventor Josh Apter.

The Story Behind The Padcaster:
The Padcaster was conceived by real world users, field tested and thoughtfully designed to go everywhere you take your iPad. The Padcaster is a powerful iPad accessory, whether you're making memories or making history. It mounts to your tripod with no tools required, so any family or classroom member can set it up. It's lightweight enough for backpack broadcasters, versatile enough for shoulder mounting, and sturdy enough to stand on its own for editing or viewing. It's affordable too, so hobbyists can leapfrog over high-end gear prices, while achieving seriously pro-level results.

The Padcaster expands with you. Effortlessly add LED lights, an on-board microphone, audio interface, accessory clamp and a monopod to simulate an instant, all-in-one production studio. Edit and upload your professional-quality footage directly from the iPad to begin showing others not just the scene, but your unique perspective.

For more information and to back The Padcaster Mini Kickstarter campaign, please visit website.

More On the Padcaster
The Padcaster continues to be recognized by many for its unique ability to transform the iPad into an on-the-go filmmaking device that facilitates and encourages creativity.

"The Padcaster is one of those accessories that pushes the Apple iPad beyond what most people do or would think of doing with it. It takes iPad Videography to the next level." - Joshua Goldman, CNET

"Anyone who is interested in using an iPad for filmmaking or broadcasting - either as an amateur or professionally - should consider getting the Padcaster. It's a brilliantly conceived and well-built accessory that should be extremely popular with the video and filmmaking crowd." - Steve Sande, TUAW

"The iPad is an amazing tool for shooting photos and video. It's not a case. It's not a fashion statement. It's a tool, a piece of pro-level gear. And for the people who recognize that, the Padcaster is an equally amazing, though simple way for them to use it for video production." - Bill Stiteler, Technology Tell

New Mac App - SuperTab Supercharges the Mac's Command-Tab App Switcher - Published on 02/05/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

SpriTec Software today releases SuperTab, a Macintosh utility application that greatly enhances and extends the Mac's built-in Command-Tab Application Switcher. Before SuperTab, the App Switcher only gave Mac users access to their currently active apps. With SuperTab installed, users now have access to a whole lot more when pressing Command-Tab. By giving Mac users such instant "Command-Tab" access to so much, SuperTab suddenly becomes one of the easiest and quickest launchers in the market.

San Diego, California - SpriTec Software today releases SuperTab, a Macintosh utility application that greatly enhances and extends the Mac's built-in Command-Tab Application Switcher.

Before SuperTab, the App Switcher only gave Mac users access to their currently active apps. With SuperTab installed, users now have access to a whole lot more when pressing Command-Tab. Users can configure SuperTab so that the App Switcher presents:
* Active Apps
* Recent Apps
* Recent Documents
* Dock Items
* Labeled or Tagged Items
* Finder Sidebar Items
* Folder Contents
* Application Windows
* Web Sites
* Any files, folders or applications users may want

By giving Mac users such instant "Command-Tab" access to so much, SuperTab suddenly becomes one of the easiest and quickest launchers in the market.

SuperTab also gives users powerful control over their active applications by allowing them to configure any application to:
* Automatically open itself to ensure it is running when users need it: during work hours, week days, week day evenings, weekend days or all the time.
* Automatically hide itself after it has been in the background for a user-selected time period.
* Automatically quit itself after it has been idle for a user-selected time period.
* Automatically prevent System Sleep or Screen Saver activation when it is the foreground application.

With such automatic application management, SuperTab raises the bar for launcher utilities by proactively ensuring that users will never again miss important meetings or be unreachable by keeping their calendar, email and chat applications running when they need them. It also provides a cleaner, more stream-lined work environment and frees up precious resources by eliminating unnecessary CPU and memory usage. And lastly, by allowing users to prevent System Sleep in key applications, SuperTab guarantees that users will never be embarrassed again by having their Mac go to sleep in the middle of an important presentation or online meeting.

Mac users can also use SuperTab to assign custom Hot Keys to any file, folder, application or web site - literally putting their important work "at their fingertips." And SuperTab is highly flexible, allowing users to fully configure it to best suit their working style.

System Requirements:
* Mac OS X 10.8 or later

Pricing And Availability:
SuperTab is free to download and install and is fully-functional for 30 days. After 30 days, it remains fully-functional but will occasionally ask users to register. Users can take advantage of an introductory registration price of only $10 (USD), which is good through May of 2014. Upon registration, SuperTab will no longer ask users to register.
