Heat Affects Battery Life
Recently, I noticed that when I leave my iPad in the car on a hot summer day, the battery is drained. This is strange because the iPad's battery can stay up to 80% over an entire day. It lowers itself down to 30%. This is because a chemical reaction in the iOS's lithium-ion battery powers the battery. Hot and cold temperatures play important roles in chemical reaction and can change the entire outcome. A hot temperature will make the battery drain faster (and supposedly vise-versa with cold). One other factor may affect this. I've found that the Smart Cover accessory can actually "fold open" and turn on the screen of the iPad. This may also be a factor. This can be resolved by removing the Smart Cover or by going to Settings and turn off "iPad Cover Lock / Unlock" until you come back to it. For both of these methods, you'll have to manually lock the iPad by pressing the top button. I hope this helps!

Deletion: How Does It Work?
How can a computer forget something by command? It can't exactly. When you put something in the trash, the computer only marks the file as void and it can't be used. When you empty the trash, it's still not gone. The computer marks the storage once accumulated by the deleted file as "free". If you have a recovery method or software, use it now. But if you "write over" the deleted data (download or create another file), then the file might become corrupt. This means that the deleted file might look completely random. But it's possible to"stitch" the file back together but it'll be expensive (check the internet for a free service first). It's kind of like putting shreedded pieces of paper back together.

Once, there was a photographer named Melanie Willhide had her laptop stolen and the thief deleted and corrupted her pictures. Eventually, she got it back. The photos were corrupted in a way that was cool, so she put them in an exhibit. Here's some of her photos below.
