Difference between Sony Xperia Z Tab and Galaxy Note 10.1

Key Difference: Sony has recently announced its revamped smartphone and tablets line. Along with the new flagship phone Sony Xperia Z, the company has also added a new tablet, the Sony Xperia Z Tab. The tablet supports a 10.1 inch TFT capacitive touchscreen and is created using the Sony Mobile BRAVIA Engine 2 technology. The Galaxy Note 10.1 is a tablet computer designed and manufactured by Samsung. It features a 10.1-inch screen and is marketed as a platform for multimedia consumption including movies, music, and web browsing. The Note 10.1 also features the use of a stylus named the S-Pen. The stylus is meant to be used as an input device for sketching and note-taking. The Note 10.1 runs on Android 4.0.

A little while back we only used mobiles. The latest trends were smartphones, such as an iPhone or a Blackberry. Then, Apple launched the iPad, a new device that led to the rise of tablets. Tablets are somewhat of a cross between smartphones and laptops. They became popular as laptop replacements. They allowed users to carry smaller and lightweight objects for basic purposes of gaming, surfing, chatting, etc.  There are varieties of new tablets that are being launched to allow easier connectivity on the go. They are many tablets that also border between smartpones and laptops, which enable users to use the tablet for calling purposes; these are known as phablets (phone + tablets).

Tablets are mainly used for multimedia, watching videos, reading e-books, and surfing the internet. They feature a full virtual keyboard which is useful for online chatting, social networking and sending emails. Tablets also tend to have dual cameras, which can be used to take pictures, while the front facing camera can be used for video chatting and video calling. Basically, tablets are like a mini computer. They are able to perform most tasks that one uses a laptop for, such as surf the net, take pictures, chat with friends, send and receive emails, as well as use it as an e-Book reader. One can also use a tablet for basic computing functions, watching videos and listening to MP3 songs on the internet. Also, tablets are much more portable and lightweight than most laptops, notebooks or netbooks.


Sony has recently announced its revamped smartphone and tablets line. Along with the new flagship phone Sony Xperia Z, the company has also added a new tablet, the Sony Xperia Z Tab. It shares many features to its little brother, but is also different in many ways. The Xperia Z tab has already seen the light of day in Japan in January, while it was recently unwrapped for global availability. The company’s claims the tablet to the lightest and the slimmest LTE tablet available in the market. The tablet supports a 10.1 inch TFT capacitive touchscreen and is created using the Sony Mobile BRAVIA Engine 2 technology. Similar to its little brother, the phone is water-resistant and dust proof. The phone can be submerged about 1 meter for 30 minutes without any damage (However, all the ports and slots should be firmly closed). The phone can also withstand water jets and the screen is coated with shatter-proof film coating. The borders of the tablet have been designed in a way to not obstruct side viewing.

The tablet houses the 1.5 GHz Krait Quad-core processor and the Qualcomm Snapdragon APQ8064 chipset. The tablet runs on 4.1.2 Jelly Bean and can be upgraded to 4.2 Jelly Bean. It is available with 16/32 GB internal memory, which can further be upgraded up to 64 GB. The company has maintained the camera technology on the tablet. The tablet houses 8.1 MP Exmor R primary camera and a 2.1 MP secondary camera for video chatting. The phone offers features such as Superior Auto, geo-tagging, Exmor R for mobile image sensor, HDR for both picture/film, continue burst mode, scene recognition, sweep panorama, smile detection, face detection and touch focus.  Superior Auto automatically adjusts the shooting profile depending on the shot that is being taken. Additional features include face unlock, screenshot capturing, wake-up mode, screen mirroring, throw feature, TV side view and remote control application. The throw feature allows users to automatically connect and play mobile content on any devices that can be connected to the phone via screen mirroring, DLNA or Bluetooth. Face Unlock allows users to place their face in front of their phones to unlock the photo. The company has not yet announced pricing of the tablet.

An OEM which also had Android based devices in the market is Samsung. Samsung Group is a South Korean chaebol, the largest in South Korea. A chaebol is basically a conglomerate. A popular tablet in the market is Samsung’s Galaxy Note 10.1.

The Galaxy Note 10.1 is a tablet computer designed and manufactured by Samsung. It features a 10.1-inch screen and is marketed as a platform for multimedia consumption including movies, music, and web browsing. The Note 10.1 also features the use of a stylus named the S-Pen. The stylus is meant to be used as an input device for sketching and note-taking. The Note 10.1 runs on Android 4.0.

The Note 10.1 is available with 16 GB, 32 GB and 64 GB storage capacity. The models are further bifurcated under Wi-Fi only, Wi-Fi and 3G, as well as Wi-Fi, 3G and LTE.

The information for the detailed table about the two tablets has been taken from Sony Mobile website, Samsung website, and GSMArena.com.

Difference Between Goals and Objectives

 
Goals vs Objectives

When you have something you want to accomplish, it is important to set both goals and objectives. Once you learn the difference between goals and objectives, you will realize that how important it is that you have both of them. Goals without objectives can never be accomplished while objectives without goals will never get you to where you want to be. The two concepts are separate but related and will help you to be who you want to be.

Definition of Goals and Objectives
Goals ‘“ are long-term aims that you want to accomplish.
Objectives ‘“ are concrete attainments that can be achieved by following a certain number of steps.
Goals and objectives are often used interchangeably, but the main difference comes in their level of concreteness. Objectives are very concrete, whereas goals are less structured.

Remembering the Differences between Goals and Objectives
When you are giving a presentation to a potential or current employer, knowing the difference between goals and objectives can be crucial to the acceptance of your proposal. Here is an easy way to remember how they differ:
Goals ‘“ has the word ‘go’ in it. Your goals should go forward in a specific direction. However, goals are more about everything you accomplish on your journey, rather than getting to that distant point. Goals will often go into undiscovered territory and you therefore can’t even know where the end will be.

Objectives ‘“ has the word ‘object’ in it. Objects are concrete. They are something that you can hold in your hand. Because of this, your objectives can be clearly outlined with timelines, budgets, and personnel needs. Every area of each objective should be firm.

Measuring Goals and Objectives
Goals ‘“ unfortunately, there is no set way in which to measure the accomplishment of your goals. You may feel that you are closer, but since goals are de facto nebulous, you can never say for sure that you have definitively achieved them.

Objectives ‘“ can be measured. Simply phrase your objective in the form of a question. For example, ‘I want to accomplish x in y amount of time’ becomes ‘Did I accomplish x in y amount of time?’ This can easily be answered in a yes or no form.

Examples of Goals and Objectives
Goals ‘“ I want to be a better ball player. I want to learn more about Chinese history. I want to maximize my professional performance.
Objectives ‘“ I want to memorize the periodic table before my next quiz. I want to increase my sales by 10% this month. I want learn to play ‘Freebird’ on the guitar.

Summary:
1. Goals and objectives are both tools for accomplishing what you want to achieve.
2. Goals are long term and objectives are usually accomplished in the short or medium term.
3. Goals are nebulous and you can’t definitively say you have accomplished one whereas the success of an objective can easily be measured.
4. Goals are hard to quantify or put in a timeline, but objectives should be given a timeline to be more effective.

Get Rid of Under Eye Dark Circles

Everyone gets under eye dark circles at some point in their life. Even if its temporary, they make the face look old and unhealthy. There are many creams, treatments and make up available to make the dark circles unnoticeable or fade them completely. Not all these products work and have many side effects since the skin under the eye is very sensitive. There are natural remedies to eliminate dark circles over time.

Here are  some common tips to help reduce dark circles :

Get Enough Sleep:

Lack of sleep is a major cause for dark circles. At least 8 hours of sleep is necessary to keep your mind and body healthy and those dark circles away. When you don’t get enough rest the blood flow is restricted to one area of the face and it appears darker.

Moisturize :

Dark circles are also caused by lack of nutrients. Use a moisturizing eye cream to give the required nutrients that helps eliminate those ghostly dark circles. Read the label for ingredients, choose a cream that has vitamin C, K and alpha hydroxy. Using a cream containing these ingredients will reduce dark circles.

Cold Potato and Cucumber :

The natural ingredients found in potato and cucumber juice are known to reduce dark circles. Take cold potato juice, soak a cotton ball in it and gently apply it to your dark circles. Leave it on for 20 minutes then rinse off. Using it daily will reduce dark circles in few weeks. Also cucumber slices and juice, both are very refreshing for the eyes. Keep cold cucumber slices on your eyes or apply its juice same way as potato juice.

Tea Bags :

Tea bags are helpful to get rid of dark circles. Just take two used tea bags and squeeze them ,now place it on your dark circles and leave it on for ten minutes.

Eat right:

Diet habits contribute to the way your skin looks, not taking enough vitamins and minerals makes your skin dull and stressed. Iron deficiency, known as anemia affects blood circulation. Iron is essential to make hameglobin, protein in the red blood cells that carries oxygen. Dark circles can be a result of lack of nutrients transported by the blood. Therefore it is important that you have a proper intake of iron rich foods such as poultry,fish,green leafy vegetables, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, barley and oats. If you suspect that you have iron deficiency then consult a doctor for further advice. Applying creams will not help your dark circles if your are anemic.

Conceal :

While you are trying to eliminate dark circles with the above mentioned tips, you can hide them with make up. Use an eye cream to moisturize the under eye area. Always use your ring finger to apply eye cream as it exerts less pressure on the delicate skin under eye area. Apply concealer with a soft concealer brush to the inner corner of the eye till the end of lower lash line. Gently pat your ring finger on the concealer till it is completely blended without rubbing it off the area.

Always wear sunglasses to protect your eyes from sun and apply sunscreen.

Sophisticated Makeup for Glasses

Hey everyone,

I finally got the chance to film/edit this ‘Sophisticated Makeup for Glasses’ tutorial. I really do understand how tricky it can be applying makeup whilst hardly being able to see a thing. You know what guys? I struggled filming this because I couldn’t tell if the camera was focused and it took me like 20 seconds to look for certain makeup products each time! I got sooo frustrated arghhh!

This sophisticated look complements all frames (yes, thick frames, thin frames, upswept frames, no frames etc) and it’s perfect for everyday. I did a ‘Makeup for Glasses’ tutorial a couple years back and that tutorial was mainly focused on eyeliner so this year, I wanted to do a more wearable look. For me, this look (rounded & high smokey eyes) complements my glasses the most. The products and techniques used are all tailored to be ‘Glasses-friendly’. Hope you guys enjoy the look and even if you don’t wear glasses, you can still rock off the look anyway.

Even though most of you see me wearing contacts most of the time, I actually wear my glasses 80-90% of the time. I used to hate my glasses because I thought they were giving me a head ache. Turns out I just needed them properly adjusted. Does your glasses fit you perfectly? Fling your head side to side and tilt your head down, your glasses shouldn’t flop down your nose bridge. At the same time, your glasses shouldn’t be too tight either.

Embrace your glasses! They don’t have to be just functional, they can be fashionable too!

Check out the tutorial below:

Some screen shots:

Sweet! My lipstick matches my glasses!

When i’m wearing glasses, I love to wear my hair up so it shows more of my face. Does anybody do that too?

I actually recently wrote a post on ‘Finding the Right Frames for your Face Shape‘ so if you’re interested, you can check it out here. When you know what type of frames flatter your face, your time searching for the perfect glasses will be cut down dramatically.

Thank you so much for reading/watching!

We will speak soon! Hopefully I can type up a diary entry tonight. Time to go grocery shopping!

Much love, Bubz xx

Chocolate Mint Eyes

Hey everyone,

I’ve always loved how harmonious the colours green & brown looked together so it inspired me to do this chocolate mint look. This everyday look looks refreshing and cool- perfect for Spring days. Lately, I’ve been adding hints of colour to my basic neutral eye looks just for a subtle burst of colour. It makes it more fun yet remaining wearable.

Check out the tutorial below:

Some screenshots:

Instead of mint green, I imagine turquoise and lavender to look good too!

Chocolate Mint

The next tutorials will be a ‘Real makeup for Glasses’ look and also a more dramatic night look (not sure what to name it yet). I’m still planning on the ’1 million Subbie celebration video’. It’s taking me longer than expected to plan out the video. Bear with me guys! I know I’m not as active on the website this week, my apologies guys! I promise things will be back to normal soon and more articles will be uploaded in time.

Good night everyone!

First Date Makeup & Beauty Tips

Hi sunshine beauties,

Here is a First Date Makeup Tutorial as requested. I know first dates can be so nerve wrecking! Hopefully you’ll have one less thing to worry about now- your makeup! I think every girl wants to look their best without looking as if they’re making too much effort. Yeah that’s right! Who doesn’t want to look effortlessly stunning?

This look is all about looking subtly beautiful. Flirty warm neutral eyes with glowy pink cheeks and softly pigmented lips. To me, first date makeup shouldn’t be too empowering. It should look fresh and radiant. The makeup should enhance our natural beauty and not totally mask it. This look works well with any outfit and for any occasion. It’s actually one of my favourite looks to wear so you don’t have to only wear it for dates you know.

Check out the tutorial below:

 

First Date Beauty Tips Sorted

Now here are some more beauty tips for your lucky day!

• Pamper yourself! Treat yourself to a nice facial the night before (actually, for the entire week before the date. I would give myself a course of sheet mask treatment) the big day. Prep up your skin so it’s hydrated and happy. Make sure your legs and underarms are hair free. Tidy up those brows and if you need to, pluck the upper lip too. Do your nails! Dirty and chipped nails is not a good look. In general, maintain a good hygiene.
• Make sure you maintain a healthy diet on the days coming up to the date. Your skin is the direct reflection of your health. Eating lots of junk food can cause unnecessary breakouts and oily skin. Eat lots of fruit and vegetables and drink green tea for skin & body detoxing.
• Perfume does more than you think. It will have you feeling like a million dollars without you even trying. Scent is one of our strongest senses so smelling pleasant will help to attract your date even more. Just don’t over-do the perfume because it can become too overwhelming. My favourite perfume is the Dior Addict 2 perfume (Tim loves it too). I usually just spritz a little on to my wrists and neck and that’s me ready to go. If you have a little atomizer, you can bring a little perfume on the go with you for touch ups.
• Be careful with your choice of foods for the entire day of the date. In general, I would definitely stay away from anything too garlicky because garlic liiiingers on your breath. I would avoid drinking coffee too because coffee breath is not attractive either.
• Bring mints or gum with you to keep your breath minty fresh at all times.
• Smiling is the best form of makeup. It makes you appear more confident, approachable and friendly. So smile when you see him, smile when he’s talking and smile smile smile.
• If you can, make sure you give yourself lots of time to do your makeup and hair. Plan your outfit so you don’t have to worry on the day and have a panic attack. Listen to music while you apply your makeup and really just enjoy the process. It will have you being more relaxed for the day.
• Make sure your choice of outfit is comfortable enough. I once made a terrible mistake of wearing shoes that HATED MY FEET so for the entire night, I was too busy squirming in pain rather than enjoying my night. It didn’t help because I was walking like an idiot too.

Things to avoid doing for the date

• Don’t be late
• Don’t revolve the entire conversation on yourself. It can make you seem conceited.
• Don’t be anti-social by continuously checking your phone. Twitter, Instagram and Facebook updates can wait.
• Don’t get drunk
• Don’t try to be someone else. Just be yourself. It suits you =)

That’s all folks! Thank you so much for reading/watching and we shall talk soonies!

Much love, Bubz xx

Difference Between AC and DC Motor

AC vs DC Motor 

An electromechanical device converts electrical energy to mechanical energy. AC motor is an electromechanical device that works on AC electricity while the DC motor works on DC electricity.

More about AC motor

An AC motor consists of two main parts a rotor, a component that rotates, and a stator, which is stationary. Both have coil windings to create a magnetic field and the repulsion of the magnetic field creates the rotor to move. The current is delivered to the rotor through slip rings, or permanent magnets are used. The kinetic energy of the rotor delivered to shaft connected to the rotor and the torque generated act as the driving force of the machinery.

There are two main types of AC motors. Induction motor, which runs more slowly than the frequency of the source, is the first type. The synchronous motor is designed to avert this effect of induction; therefore runs at the same frequency or a sub-multiple of the frequency.

AC motors can produce a large torque. Because of the power source used, it can be designed to draw large amounts of power. Power mains can supply very large currents required for the operation of the heavy duty motors. Most common AC motors use the squirrel cage rotor, which is found almost in all domestic and light industrial AC motors. Most domestic appliances like a washing machine, dishwasher, standalone fan, record player, etc. use some variant of a squirrel cage rotor.

AC motors are designed for three phase, two phase, and single phase power sources. Depending on the requirement the usage of the motor type varies.

More about DC motor

Two types of DC motors are in use; they are the Brushed DC electric motor and Brushless DC electric motor. The fundamental physical principle behind the operation of DC and AC motors are the same.

In brushed motors, brushes are used to maintain electrical connectivity with the rotor winding, and internal commutation changes the polarities of the electromagnet to keep the rotational motion sustained. In DC motors, permanent or electromagnets are used as stators. In a practical DC motor, the armature winding consists of a number of coils in slots, each extending for 1/p of the rotor area for p poles. The number of coils in small motors may be as low as six, and it may be as high as 300 in large motors. The coils are all connected in series, and each junction is connected to a commutator bar. All coils under the poles contribute to torque production.

In small DC motors, the number of windings is low, and two permanent magnets are used as the stator. When higher torque is needed the number of windings and magnet strength are increased.

The second type is brushless motors, which has permanent magnets as the rotor and electromagnets are positioned in the rotor. A high power transistor charge up and drives the electromagnets.

What is difference between AC motor and DC motor?

• AC motor works on AC electricity while DC motor works on DC electricity.

• General DC motors deliver less torque power than the AC motors.

• AC motor requires a starter mechanism, but the DC motors do not need a starter mechanism.

• DC motors are single phase motors whereas AC motors are both 1 and 3 phases.
