A tablet is a device that enhances the portability feature and also the efficiency of the smartphone. The Mac Tablet, also known as the Apple iPad, is one of the frontrunners in this category of devices. After multiple iterations on the initial iPad, Apple has released the latest model, which is the Apple iPad 9.7-inch. The latest model is thicker and weighs more than its predecessor, the iPad Air 2. The iPad 9.7-inch is heavier than its counterparts, the iPad Pro 9.7 and iPad Air 2, with the dimensions of  240.00 x 169.50 x 7.50 (height, weight, and depth) and weighs 478 grams, with it being even heavier than the original iPad.

The screen is also brighter and a washed-out version than of its previous model as Apple has done away with the lamination layer, which is supposed to enhance the reflectiveness of the screen. This iPad is also equipped with a more powerful battery at 32.9 watt-hours. This allowed a user to use this device for around 5 hours and 15 minutes of video streaming using Wi-Fi at maximum brightness of the screen. The processor in the new iPad is the A10 which is an upgrade from the Air 2. The on-screen graphic performance that was quantified by prominent tests observed an increase around 20%. The Wi-Fi performance is impressive as the Air 2’s original dual-band Wi-Fi chipset has been upgraded to a global, single LTE model in the iPad 9.7-inch. The other prominent features of the iPad 9.7-inch include the following:

• The touch ID fingerprint scanner is on the physical home button; this makes it serve two purposes.

Simply buying some elegant furniture pieces to jazz up a room is not enough when it comes to home decor. These items must be properly maintained over time so that their original look and feel is preserved. And this is where slipcovers come in. Be it a sofa, chaise lounge, daybed, chair, or ottoman, slipcovers can keep dust away and protect the furniture from stains and scratches. Available in a wide array of sizes, fabrics, colors, and prints, these covers are just what you need when you want to change your interior decor style without spending a lot. While furniture in standard designs can be easily complemented by readymade slipcovers, unusual shapes might need customized covers. Some benefits are discussed below. Flexible: Slipcovers are quite flexible when it comes to covering various sofas, recliners, and chairs. These can easily enhance the durability of the furniture, and give it a whole new look. Use light-colored slipcovers if you want to create the illusion of spaciousness, and dark ones if you want to contrast plain and neutral walls. Avoid light hues if you have pets or kids, as they will surely get dirty in no time and will be harder to maintain. Machine washable: Gone are the days when you had to worry about the condition of the cover. The modern varieties are machine-washable if they get dirty. The fabrics are quite strong as well and remain undamaged even after repeated washing. Some of the materials that are used in making the product are twill, denim, and faux suede. Any accidental food or coffee spill can be quickly removed without any hassles from these. Colors and patterns: Diverse patterns are available to suit the preferences of the customers. You may purchase the product in different colors too. If the room's decor is minimal or simple, bold or colorful patterns will look great. But if you have a variety of artifacts all around the room, then covers in neutral hues will work best. Change seasonally: Tired of the same old interior decor style? Bring in some spunk with slipcovers in a different color, fabric, or pattern. You can change them with every season too! For instance, soft pastels can look very soothing in summers, while bold reds, oranges, and browns can be perfect for winters. Floral prints can create spring-like vibe anytime though. Easy to use: It is quite easy to put slipcovers on and take them off from furniture pieces. If you notice some wrinkles, you can deal with them with a damp towel. Regular dusting can be carried out with a dry cloth. Reputed retailers: As it happens with any product, slipcovers if bought from a reputed retailer will last for a very long time. They will be immune to wear and tear; however, you should find popular websites to shop from. You might want to compare prices and variety across retailers too, before making a purchase decision.

The season of infections is here, and before you get under the weather, it's best to follow a hygienic routine and build a strong immunity to wipe off any viruses that might harm you. But, did you know there are many myths that might burden your mind during the cold and flu months? Here, we bust the most popular myths for you. Myth: Don't have milk when during a cold. Truth: Well, this is what most people will tell you to avoid. Milk. But, experts suggest the opposite. When warm and mixed with honey or turmeric, milk can prove to be a healing agent when you feel sick. This is because milk has natural folate, calcium, vitamin D, A, K, and so on. This makes it a must-have food if you want to build a strong, healthy gut. Milk can also help in keeping your hormones in check. Myth: Don't step out with wet hair. Truth: This one's untrue as well. Even if you go into the swimming pool, swim for half an hour, and rest afterward in a comfy space, you won't fall sick. It's all about taking care of the room temperature, eating well, and exercising to make yourself strong enough to escape viruses. Myth: Being with a sick family member can affect you. Truth: If you need to take care of a sick person at home, it's not likely that you'll fall sick as well. If you're sleeping and eating well, living an active life, and following good hygiene, you won't be contagious to the sickness that's prevailing at home. Myth: Drugstore medicines work fine for little ones. Truth: Often, parents rush to the chemists when they see their kids falling prey to cold and flu. This should be avoided because you never know what the signs and symptoms mean in this case. Doctors can tell, and they can treat each issue better than the over-the-counter medicines. Myth: Sleeping isn't the cure! Truth: Well, this isn't true. If you go into a hibernation mode and sleep well for hours together, you can speed up the recovery process.

When we take a break, we want to shut off the entire world and find some new sights, sounds, and smells to focus on. A break does not mean cutting off completely. It means doing things a little differently for a while so that one can easily escape the monotony of a mundane routine before returning to it, completely rejuvenated. So how can you make the most of your time off this year? Here are some of our favorite tips and advice to help you do just that! More than one is more fun: Studies by various sources and institutions have demonstrated that taking more than one break a year is bound to make you feel much more relaxed in your daily routine, rather than taking that one annual vacation. It may seem like a difficult task to go through the entire administrative and financial side of planning more than one vacation, but if you plan well, you will easily be able to work it out. You can plan one long vacation during summers, and a shorter one around the holidays, so that you can get a break at the two most crucial times of the year. If one holiday is a slightly longer one to an international destination, then the next one can be to some place close by which will not require so much of planning and funds. Planning well in advance: What is almost as good as the vacation itself? Planning the vacation! That's right, planning your vacation well in advance is not just a means of making sure that all goes well while you are on your break, but it will also help you visualize and get excited about the prospect of breaking your daily routine for something fun, in the near future. This will make you put your best into your work as you look forward to the time off from the same. You should plan your documents, destination, foreign exchange, tickets and all such travel-related aspects well in advance so that you can have the best holiday ever. Activities: Before you actually get on the plane or the train, take a little time off to do some research so that you know where you are going and what you will be doing there. Else, a complete lack of agenda might lead to much chaos in the new destination. Plan your activities in accordance with the various age groups that thrive within your family so that no one is left out, and everyone gets a chance to have fun. This will also help you in avoiding the stress that you will inevitably face if you have to take a decision regarding sightseeing and other activities suddenly. Also, you would do well to finish all your work tasks so that you are not on the phone while on vacation!
