How to capture your Mac's audio for free

Source: http://www.macworld.com/article/2043722/how-to-capture-your-macs-audio-for-free.html

You’ve likely found yourself in this position more than once: Your Mac is playing audio that you’d love a permanent copy of, but the application you’re using doesn’t provide a way to do that. While you could turn to one of the few commercial Mac applications that perform this task, there’s a way to go about it that won’t cost you a nickel. In this Macworld Video I show you how.

Transcript

Today I’m going to show you how to capture sound produced by your Mac for free.

The first thing you need is a copy of Cycling 74’s Soundflower, which you can get from cycling74.com. Install Soundflower and, if asked to, restart your Mac.

Now move to System Preferences, select the Sound preference, and in the Input and Output tabs, select Soundflower (2 channel). Doing this takes the audio playing on your Mac and routes into the Mac’s audio input circuitry, allowing you to then capture it.

To perform the capture, launch QuickTime Player, choose New Audio Recording from the File menu, and in the window that appears, make sure that SoundFlower is selected by clicking on the small triangle. In the Audio area below you have two options—High and Maximum. Both produce an AAC file encoded at 256 kbps. The difference is that High quality records at a resolution of 44.1 kHz and Maximum records at a higher quality of 48 kHz.

One thing you’ll immediately notice as you record is the sound of silence. You see movement in QuickTime’s meters but hear nothing from your Mac’s speakers. And that’s because the Mac’s audio is routed to Soundflower rather than your Mac’s speakers or headphones.

To hear what your Mac is recording, launch Soundflowerbed, which the Soundflower installed places inside the SoundFlower folder now inside your Applications folder. A new menu will appear in the Mac’s menu bar. Click on it and choose the output you’d like to monitor from—headphones jacked into the Mac’s headphone port, for example.

Now go about your capture and when you’re finished, click QuickTime Player’s Stop button. Close the window to name and save it as an audio file. This will save your recording as a 256kbps AAC file.

How to use multiple iPhone, iPad, or iPod devices with one computer

Do you want to use more than one iPhone, iPad, or iPod with the same computer? You can. In fact, there are a few ways you can do it.

Create multiple user accounts

Do you share your computer with someone who has different tastes in music and media? You can create separate user accounts for each person who uses the computer. You can maintain separate, personalized iTunes libraries and customize each devices' sync settings accordingly.

Mac OS X users

Learn how to set up other user accounts.

• OS X Mountain Lion v10.8
• OS X Lion v10.7
• Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard

Windows users

Look in your computer's Help documentation to learn how to set up other user accounts. To find this information:

1. Click the Start Menu and click Help or Help and Support.
2. Enter "new user" in the Search field.
3. Press Return.

If you create multiple user accounts on one computer but want the same media to be available in iTunes for all users, you can share music between different accounts on a single computer.

Sync devices to playlists

You may use multiple devices on a computer without creating multiple user accounts. To do this, you can set iTunes to update each device with only certain playlists. This method allows you to put all your music on, for example, your iPod and keep your iPod shuffle updated with only your workout music. Here's how to do this with iTunes:

1. Create new iTunes playlists on Mac and Windows that contain all the music you want to sync to each device.
2. Sync your device.

Note: iTunes for Windows does not support syncing multiple iPod devices at the same time.

Create a separate iTunes library

Create a separate iTunes library for each device. Note: It is important that you make a new iTunes library file. Do not just make a copy of your existing iTunes library file. If iTunes is open, quit it.

1. Mac users: Hold down the Option key while you open iTunes.
   Windows users: Hold down the Shift key while you open iTunes.
2. In the dialog that appears, click Create Library.
3. Name and save the alternate library file. iTunes opens with your new library file.
4. Open iTunes Preferences. Choose iTunes > Preferences (Mac) or Edit > Preferences (Windows).
5. Click the Advanced tab.
6. Deselect the "Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library" checkbox if it is already selected and click OK. This will prevent iTunes from creating duplicates of your existing media files in the new library folder.
   
7. Add the specific media files you want on your device to iTunes either by dragging them into iTunes or choosing File > Add to Library (Mac) or File > Add File to Library or Add Folder to Library (Windows).
8. After you organize the iTunes library, connect and sync your device.
9. After the sync is complete, quit iTunes.
10. Mac users: Hold down the Option key while you open iTunes.
    Windows users: Hold down the Shift key while you open iTunes.
11. Click Choose library.
12. Choose your original iTunes library and click Choose (Mac Users) or Open (Windows Users). You can now switch between the different libraries for different devices.

Additional Information

You can use the above information to sync music, movies, TV shows, podcasts, and other media content. You can also sync contacts and calendars to iPod or to iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

Prisão de ventre (constipation) - from lef.org

Fiber treatment for constipation

Most foods contain a mixture of soluble and insoluble fiber. Both are important in treating constipation. Soluble fiber is contained in oats, apples, lentils, barley, breads, and cereals. It is able to mix evenly with water, forming a soft gel. Insoluble fiber is contained in raw wheat bran, other whole grains, fruits and vegetables. It mixes unevenly with water, forming a soft pulp. The body does not absorb soluble or insoluble fiber during digestion. Fiber contributes volume to the stool mass, making it easier for the colon to push and propel larger and softer stools out of the body. Insoluble fiber encourages contraction of the colon.

Both fiber types contribute volume to individual stool masses. A larger mass of stool is easier for the colon to push against and propel, so larger, softer stools are easier to move and pass.

The following supplements may succeed at moving the bowels when regular fiber supplements fail to correct chronic constipation:

Chitosan. Chitosan is a fiber composed of chitin, a component of the shell of shellfish. Chitosan has the ability to bind fat from food in the stomach and the intestines. When fat content in the bowel increases, it makes the feces soft and smooth. If you do not obtain results from other commonly used fiber sources, six 500-milligram (mg) capsules of chitosan along with 1,000 mg of vitamin C before each meal may help alleviate constipation. Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) helps transform chitosan in the stomach and intestine into a fat-absorbing gel. Chitosan should not be used by people who have shellfish allergies.

Glucomannan. Glucomannan is a water-soluble dietary fiber derived from the konjac root (Amorphophallus konjac). Glucomannan is considered a bulk-forming laxative that promotes a larger, bulkier stool (Marsicano 1995). Glucomannan generally helps produce a bowel movement within 12 to 24 hours.

Constipation is frequently encountered during pregnancy. A preparation of lactulose and glucomannan is effective and well-tolerated in pregnant women. Pregnant women with constipation who were treated with a preparation of 3 to 6 g of glucomannan and 8 to 16 g of lactulose twice daily for 1 to 3 months showed a return of normal frequency of evacuations. The formula also helped control weight gain (Signorelli 1996).

In one study, laxative use was significantly reduced in a long-term care facility when an interdisciplinary program was implemented based on prevention and health promotion. Specifically, increased fluid and fiber intake, timely toileting habits, and regular activity or exercise led to a 50 percent reduction in the number of patients receiving laxatives (Benton 1997).

MNCT 932 Knowing Where to Look July 28, 2014 - Michael Neil

In one of his final interviews, the author/philosopher Aldous Huxley was asked to sum up his life's work.  What he said was this:

It is a bit embarrassing to have been concerned with the human problem all one's life and find at the end that one has no more to offer by way of advice than "Try to be a little kinder."

While I actually think that's beautiful in and of itself, I also love the question.  If you had to sum up everything you've learned about life in one or two sentences, what would they be?

When I began studying the principles behind the inside-out understanding, I asked that question of a number of long-term teachers, students, and practitioners.  While the answers ranged from "I've learned to be grateful" to "It's all made up and it's all OK", when someone asked me the same question recently, I was sur prised to hear this answer come out of my mouth:

"I know what to do when I don't know what to do.  When I'm stuck, I know where to look.  Better still, I know where not to look."

There is something so unbelievably comforting to me about that that I wanted to take a bit of time this week to explore it with you...

For many years, I attempted to amass a database of strategies for success and happiness that I could fall back on when my automatic pilot habitual thinking wasn't enough. Whenever I found myself stuck on a project or a bit down in myself, I would go to that database, represented by over 3000 books that have filled the walls (and at times overflowed onto the floors) of my home over the years.

If I couldn't find the answer in my memory bank or my books, I'd go off to the bookstore or on to the web in search of the solution to my very real seeming problem.

Until...

One day I realized that if the answers were in those 3000 books, I would be the happiest, most successful person on the planet.  And I knew damn well that I wasn't.  So I went on a "book fast", which was really an "information fast".  I stopped inputting new data into my brain, and decided instead to let the dust settle inside my head and see what was left.  To my amazement, in the emptiness that remained, I found my own wisdom.

It wasn't so much in my head as in my whole body - as much feeling as thought and as much common sense as deep insight.  It appeared as a knowing - a warm feeling of "right" without any "righteousness" attached.  That feeling has become my friend over the years, even as I've fallen back into the strategies and tactics of others from time to time.

In the early days, I tried to encourage myself with positive slogans like "Go with your knowing, even when you're wrong!" to "I know that I'll know when I know."  But the truth was, that experience of knowing happened far too seldom for me to rely on it completely, and time and again I'd find myself going back to doing things as I'd always done them.

And then one day it dawned on me that the problem wasn't that my wisdom only spoke with me sporadically - it was that I only looked inside to find it when I'd absolutely given up on everything else.

Once it became obvious to me where to look - within, away from the known, towards the power and intelligence behind life - I found myself accessing wisdom more of the time and earlier in the game than ever before.  Insights became a reliable way to navigate instead of "lucky breaks", and to this day the quieter I get the more obvious things become.

Ómega 3
Vitamina C > + de 1000 mg/ dia

Lavagens ao nariz 3x/ dia com uma solução que preparei da seguinte forma:
- 1/2 caneca de água
- 1/2 colher café bicarbonato de sódio
- 1 colher chá pequena de sal
> levar a água a ferver, para esterilizar
> colocar numa seringa um pouco da solução, e deixar arrefecer
> quando estiver morno/ frio, colocar no nariz. 1-1.5 ml em cada narina, em cada lavagem. Deixar a solução passar pelo nariz e depois cuspir quando chegar à boca - não engolir

Reflexologia facial para a sinusite - 3x / dia

Comida: optei preferencialmente por alimentação anti-inflamatória: sopas quentes, cogumelos + cebola+ alho (pouco) guisados, mousse de abacate (com 30g de whey, que tem lactoferrina e que também faz bem à sinusite).

A sinusite é uma inflamação de uma membrana que tapa as cavidades ósseas que comunicam com o nariz. Provoca dor e inflamação na nessa zona, sensação de nariz tapado, dor de cabeça e, em alguns casos, febre. Como em qualquer outra doença, é aconselhável visitar o seu médico, para lhe prescrever um tratamento, no entanto também pode fazer uma série de tratamentos naturais para combater a sinusite que ajudará a aliviar os sintomas e a melhorar. Em umComo.com.br mostramos-lhe como tratar a sinusite com remédios naturais.

Vapores de uma infusão de eucalipto

Respirar vapores de uma infusão de eucalipto é uma forma eficaz de reduzir a inflamação e ajudará na limpeza do mucosa nasal. Para tal, coloque água numa panela e adicione algumas folhas de eucalipto ou algumas gotas de óleo de eucalipto, aqueça-a até que saia bastante vapor, coloque uma toalha sobre a cabeça para fazer o efeito de sauna e respire os vapores.

Imagem: nplantas.com

Infusão de gengibre, eucalipto, limão e mel

Outro remédio caseiro para combater a sinusite, consiste numa infusão à base de raiz de gengibre ralada, folhas de eucalipto, sumo de limão e mel. Deverá ferver a raiz de gengibre ralada e as folhas de eucalipto num litro de água durante aproximadamente 15 minutos; depois, deverá filtrá-lo e adicionar o sumo de limão e algumas colheres de mel. Se tomar diariamente, notará melhorias significativas.

Cataplasma de verbena

A verbena é uma planta com um grande poder descongestionante, o que será bastante útil para combater os sintomas da sinusite. Para fazer a cataplasma, coloque duas colheres de sopa de verbena numa frigideira e quando começar a sentir o cheiro coloque duas colheres de sopa de azeite e duas claras batidas. Quando emulsionar, coloque o resultado sobre uma gaze ou sobre um pano e cuidadosamente, porque geralmente fica muito líquida, aplique nas cavidades nasais durante 10 minutos.

Duche nasal com água do mar

Outro remédio natural bastante eficiente é o duche nasal com água do mar. Trata-se de um frasco que se vende em lojas de produtos naturais e em farmácias, que contém água salgada do mar e um orifício onde se deve colocar a narina. A água sobe por um orifício e sai por outro, ajudando assim a desobstruir a cavidade nasal. Deverá fazê-lo em ambas as narinas e repetir duas vezes por dia. Também poderá fazê-lo com vapor de água do mar (ou água com sal, como preferir), como foi explicado anteriormente nos vapores de eucalipto.

Alimentos descongestionantes

Uma dieta saudável e equilibrada é sempre necessária para melhorar a sua saúde. Mas, ao mesmo tempo, existem alguns alimentos que convém comer em caso de sinusite e que ajudará a combater os sintomas, como o alho e a cebola, que têm efeitos descongestionantes. Também é recomendável comer cenoura, porque contém carotenoides que são responsáveis por reforçar e aumentar as defesas das mucosas.

O que comer quando estamos mal da barriga (paleo)

http://paleoleap.com/paleo-sick-foods/

Broths and Soups

Most dietary recommendations for serious nausea and vomiting start you off with liquids only until your stomach has settled down a little. Even if they didn’t, most people will gravitate towards liquids anyway, as they figure out by trial and error what they can actually keep down. And that’s all without mentioning the comfort value of a warm bowl of broth when you’re feeling miserable and gross.

Translating a liquid diet into Paleo is actually pretty easy. Here are some suggestions:

• Bone broth. This should be the foundation of your “liquids only” phase because of its amazing health benefits. It’s easy to make and full of stomach-soothing proteins like gelatin. And it tastes delicious, too.
• Seaweed broth. For a slightly different taste, try throwing a piece of seaweed into your bone broth; it makes the broth taste richer and adds some important nutrients like calcium and iodine.
• Ginger broth. Ginger is an old folk remedy for nausea, and it actually works pretty well. Toss in a knob of ginger to add an extra stomach-soothing effect to your basic broth.
• Electrolyte water. Water with just a pinch of salt and a squeeze of lemon will help replenish electrolytes if you’re throwing up. This is often easier to drink if you warm it up a little to room temperature.
• Coconut water. If you can find a brand that doesn’t have added sugar, this is a pretty decent electrolyte replacement as well.
• Herbal tea. Two especially good choices are peppermint and ginger – both have shown some effectiveness as anti-emetics.

If you’re up for something a little more substantial but still not ready for a huge meal, why not try a soup? Here are some good ones:

• Chicken and vegetable soup. Like chicken noodle, but hold the noodles – or add spaghetti squash or zucchini noodles, if you like.
• Egg drop soup. Again, you can make this plain or add some Paleo-friendly noodle accompaniments.
• Winter vegetable soup. This one is protein-optional, so if you’re only up for very soft vegetables, it’s a good choice.
• Tomato soup. Another great vegetable-only option, soothing from the inside out.

If you absolutely can’t muster up the energy for homemade soup (it’s OK; you’re sick! You don’t have to play Paleo Superhero when you can’t even keep down dinner!), you can also sometimes find some good choices in the grocery store. Go straight for the organic ones and scan the ingredients carefully. You’ll pay for the convenience, but sometimes you’re just too sick to haul out the pots and pans, and that’s OK.

Bland Carbs

Remember the proverbial BRAT diet? Bananas, Rice, Apples (or Applesauce) and Toast? This particular collection of bland carbs has its downsides, but the general principle is pretty sound. There’s actually a good reason why people crave bland carbs when they’re sick: that’s what you need! Carbohydrates are easy to digest, and when you’re sick, your immune system needs additional glucose to fight off the infection. Also, you’ll notice that most of the carbs in that list are glucose (starch), rather than fructose (sugar): this is another smart choice, since glucose is much better as a fuel source.

More obviously, bland carbs are typically easier on an upset stomach than most other foods, especially if you’re nauseous. So if you’re only hungry for bland carbs when you’re sick, there’s nothing wrong with them: you just want to make healthy choices about which carbs you pick.

On Paleo that means revising the list of BRAT foods to take out the toast, and probably also the apples: apples are fairly high in fructose, which can be harder on your stomach than glucose. So a Paleo-friendly list of bland, sick-day foods might look something like this:

• Bananas: these you can keep from the original list; they’re the one fruit with more glucose than fructose. Smear them with some almond butter if you like.
• Potatoes (white or sweet): white potatoes are just as nutritious as sweet potatoes (really!) and fit the “bland carbs” description to a T. Of course, you can also use sweet potatoes if you prefer them. To make them even easier to eat, try them mashed (maybe with a little butter).
• Canned pumpkin. Buy a can, scoop out as much as you want, sprinkle some cinnamon over it and stir in a couple spoons of coconut milk, and microwave until it’s warm.
• Spaghetti squash. Spaghetti squash is a great “chameleon food:” it will easily take on the flavor of whatever else you cook it with, or stay perfectly bland and inoffensive if you’re just not up to tasting things right now.

Other Easy Foods

Not quite ready to hop on the bland-carb wagon (perhaps you’re trying to stay in ketosis?) but still want something easy on the stomach? Try these:

• Avocado. A bowl of guacamole is full of nutrients and healthy fats and doesn’t take much time to prepare.
• Soft-boiled eggs or soft scrambled eggs (be cautious with this: some people get even more nauseous at the sight of eggs, so go with what feels good to you).
• Steamed fish or chicken breast. Soft, easy to eat, and not very challenging if you go easy on the spices and seasonings.

Another great option is homemade gelatin: all the stomach-soothing power of Jell-o, but with more health benefits and a whole lot less of the bad stuff.

Probiotic Foods

While you’re feeling sick, sauerkraut probably doesn’t sound like the world’s most appetizing meal. That’s OK. Don’t force it down. But after you’ve recovered, try adding some fermented foods to help restore gut flora and prevent illness from recurring.

Should I Just Fast?

For some people, nausea or vomiting seems like a sign that their body really doesn’t want any food right now, and that it would be better to just wait until it passes.

The problem with this is that a total fast on top of vomiting or diarrhea (or both!) can lead to dehydration and electrolyte depletion very quickly. And that certainly won’t help you recover from anything; in fact, it’s often a quick ticket to the ER.

If you can keep down fluids with some electrolytes, it’s probably fine to stay with liquids only for a few days. But use your common sense: dehydration is dangerous! And don’t feel like you have to stick with nothing but fluids; this is really a case of listening to your body and everybody’s body will be different when it comes to recovery.

Get Well Soon!

With an arsenal of Paleo-approved “sick day foods” and a few days off to spend in bed, you’ll be well on the road to helping your body heal itself – no saltine crackers, ginger ale, rice cakes, chocolate pudding, or Wonderbread required!
