Night Night Train - Interactive Bedtime Story - In App Store Now - Published on 08/11/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Jeremy Horton today announces iOS app "Night Night Train". A charming, interactive bedtime story, the app should help young children relax and unwind. Following "Alpine Train 3D" the studio has stuck with a railroad theme but introduces animal characters, voice narration, musical box soundtrack and a greater sense of journey to make an appealing formula for younger iOS users. Each game finishes within an adjustable length of time, and so could be incorporated into a bedtime routine.

Bristol, United Kingdom - Night Night Train revolves around seven appealing animal characters. Each character has his own home and work station. The player helps Wolfie the train driver collect each character from work and drop each back home before bedtime. Play is interactive by steering the train at track junctions and controlling the speed.

The app cleverly manages the maximum game time set in the options panel. If the player steers and keeps to time well enough then all characters will be returned to bed on time and the story draws to an end. If not then verbal and visual hints begin as necessary, followed by automatic control of steering and finally speed in order to choose the quickest route home and keep to time. Wolfie the train driver keeps all this under his watchful eye.

Detailed attention is given to nuances in the animation and sound effects such as musical tempo which changes based on train speed, variations in the voice narration, subtle character movements and quirky train dynamics. The aim is to convey a feeling of relaxation but with a sense of humour and involvement in the story - all the time-honoured ingredients for a good bedtime story but reinvented for the iPad generation and aimed at younger children.

In version 1.0:
* Seven cute little animals which ride the train
* Adjustable length experience. Set a maximum time for the game
* Idyllic island countryside setting
* 3D graphics appealing to young children
* Narration in English. Can be muted
* Soundtrack which changes tempo based on train speed. Can be muted
* Designed for you child's relaxation near bedtime

Honest Price:
* 5.99 USD and no in-app purchases
* No third-party advertising
* No social media

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, iPad mini and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 4.0 or later
* 56.1 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Night Night Train 1.0 is $5.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category. There are no no in-app purchases or third-party advertising.

USDA National Nutrient Database: Calories to Vitamin K - iNutrients - Published on 08/11/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Indie developer James Hollender's version 2.1 of his iNutrients app contains 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 8,463 different foods and 15,135 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's version 2.1 of his iNutrients app contains the latest USDA National Nutrient Database (SR-26), 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 8,463 different foods and 15,135 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 2 individual nutrient apps, users can get all 10 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.

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

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.

Pricing and Availability:
iNutrients 1.2 is $3.99 (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.

Why Another Note Taking App?
The Notesplus team had tried using many of the existing note taking apps, but couldn't find one they really liked. Most lacked the ability to add one or more media types, and many had confusing layouts or disorienting screen flows. The aim has been to make Notes+ for iPhone the most flexible, user-friendly, and quick-fire app available for creating multimedia notes.

Notes+ for iPhone allows users to create a new note in a hurry, and having done so to start entering content immediately, for example, by taking a photo, or starting an audio or video recording. There's no up-front requirement to set a note title or any meta data. Notes+ for iPhone is ideal for capturing spontaneous events and activities as they occur and gives users the best chance of not missing the start.

Whilst on the one hand Notes+ for iPhone has been designed to be quick and simple to use and have a minimalistic design, on the flip side it supports the inclusion of a market leading range of different media types in notes, including audio and video recordings of different quality levels, configurable in the settings. Simple and yet comprehensive!

Design highlights:
1. There are just two main screens: a browse screen, and a note viewing/editing screen. Each screen has very minimal controls, freeing up the screen real-estate for note content. For example, there's no bottom toolbar on either screen.

2. All of the primary functionality is achieved via a few gestures, with help prompts being displayed automatically at appropriate times.

3. There are two options for how media is displayed in a note: Best Fit, or Small. Best Fit uses as much screen real estate as it can, whereas Small keeps the media within a fixed small size. Both are dynamically calculated to suit the device and its orientation.

4. Mechanisms for tagging, grouping or putting notes into hierarchies have been purposefully omitted, which greatly reduces the app's complexity from a user perspective. Searching and sorting is used instead.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 7.0 or later
* 2.0 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Notes+ for iPhone 1.0.3 has an introductory price of $1.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and is available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Productivity category.

Sahara: The Untold Story by author Tamal Bandyopadhyay on Magzter - Published on 08/11/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Everything you wanted to know about Subrata Roy and Sahara India Pariwar, but were afraid to ask. The world's largest and fastest growing global digital newsstand and book store Magzter recently added Tamal Bandyopadhyay's second book, Sahara: The Untold Story from India's well-known publishing house, Jaico. The book is based on painstaking research to demystify India's most secretive and largely unlisted conglomerate, the Sahara India Pariwar.

New York, New York - The world's largest and fastest growing global digital newsstand and book store Magzter recently added Tamal Bandyopadhyay's second book, Sahara: The Untold Story from India's well-known publishing house, Jaico. Readers on Magzter will find this gripping revelation under the category: Business, Investment and Management.

Everything you wanted to know about Subrata Roy and Sahara India Pariwar, but were afraid to ask. The forerunner or one-liner aptly sums up what the book has in store. This puts readers in the perfect frame of mind to launch into Bandyopadhyay's tale. Sahara - The Untold Story is based on painstaking research to demystify India's most secretive and largely unlisted conglomerate, the Sahara India Pariwar. It also delves into the groups on-going legal battle with the market regulator.

Entrepreneur Subrata Roy, the guardian angel of the group, whose feet are touched by everybody in the Pariwar, wants to reach out to a million lives and feels impeded and shuttered in by regulations. So the clash with the regulators was inevitable. But when a regulator slams one door, maverick Roy opens another. This play has been on since 1978, when Sahara was set up.

Roy is well known for glamour and his association with film stars, cricketers and politicians. He exudes patriotism, with a statue of Bharat Mata (the presiding deity of the group) on a chariot driven by four fierce-looking lions adorning his headquarters in Lucknow. He is the Robin Hood of a country where only 35% of the adult population has access to formal banking services. This India and its millions of illiterate poor depositors stand in awe and admiration of him. But does he also exploit them? Do these poor people actually keep money with him or are they fronting for others?

Tamal Bandyopadhyay is an Indian business journalist, known for his weekly column on banking and finance Banker's Trust published in Mint an Indian business daily brought out by HT Media Ltd in content sharing agreement with The Wall Street Journal of US. He has also authored two books namely A Bank for the Buck and Sahara: The Untold Story.

"Bandyopadhyay's narration is simply fabulous and you just do not want to put the book down. Indian authors are coming out with some excellent content that is continually attracting the attention of critics, juries and readers across the globe," said Girish Ramdas, CEO and Co-Founder, Magzter Inc.

"Readers of Magzter are thoroughly enjoying what we have to offer in our books section, and with good reason we can say. The Untold Story is one of those good reasons that is a compelling read as well. Magzter is happy to be the platform that delivers fine content in HD quality," Vijay Radhakrishnan, President and Co-Founder, Magzter Inc.

This book is published by Jaico. Jaico was founded in 1946 by Jaman Shah as a book distribution business for U.S. paperback publishers. The company's name commemorates India's independence ("Jai" means victory in Hindi language). Jaico was India's first publisher of paperback books in the English language. During the 1960s, Jaico was one of the first houses in India to publish English translations of non-English writings by Indian authors. In 1999, SC Sethi head of Jaico in Delhi, became the president of the Federation of Publishers' & Booksellers Association in India. Jaico has offices in cities of Mumbai (head office), Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Bhopal, Bhubaneshwar, Chennai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Kolkata, and Lucknow. These offices have a combined sales force of 40 executives. Jaico also operates a direct mail order division.

Smooth Skin Plugin Released for Final Cut Pro, Premiere Pro, AE & Motion - Published on 08/11/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Noise Industries, today, annouced the availability of Dashwood Smooth Skin, a plugin for Final Cut Pro, Motion, Adobe After Effects and Premiere Pro. The app can smooth out undesired details in HD or 4K closeups, including freckles, wrinkles, or acne and also tone down shininess, lift dark shadows or warm up the skin. Dashwood Smooth Skin can automatically track and apply virtual makeup to faces without any keyframing or interruption to the background.

Boston, Massachusetts - Noise Industries, developer of visual effects tools for the post-production and broadcast markets, today announced the availability of Dashwood Smooth Skin, a plugin for Final Cut Pro, Motion, Adobe After Effects and Premiere Pro. Dashwood Smooth Skin can automatically track and apply virtual makeup to faces in a scene without any keyframing or interruption to the background. It can smooth out undesired details in HD or 4K closeups, including freckles, wrinkles, or acne and also tone down shininess, lift dark shadows or warm up the skin.

"I had tried to use some other skin smoothing products on the market but they could never easily exclude skin-like tones in the the rest of the scene," says Tim Dashwood, founder of Dashwood Cinema Solutions. "I had already implemented automatic face detection in our Secret Identity plugin and it occurred to me that the same technology could be used to smooth just the faces in any scene, excluding everything else in the scene. I then added a built-in vectorscope so the skin tone could be visually tuned to the skin line, and Smooth Skin suddenly became a very powerful, yet easy-to-use plugin."

Pricing and Availability:
Dashwood Editor Essentials is available today and can be purchased from the Noise Industries website for the introductory price of $79. The regular price will be $99.
