![]() If you were to use a coin cell battery with a capacity of 220 mAh to power a single LED bulb, it’d power it for 11 hours.Īs mentioned earlier, the higher your battery’s capacity is, the longer the duration will be before it loses power. This means that it can consume 20 mAh (milliamps-hour) in one hour. A typical single LED bulb will have a power draw of 20 mA (milliamps). They don’t take up as much energy from a source. LED lights are incredibly power-efficient compared to incandescents. It’s also rechargeable, which means you can use it over and over. It can have a nominal capacity of 20,000 mAh. ![]() Because of its size, it provides the most capacity compared to the others on this list. It can even power an automobile’s electronic system. If you want a power source as big as it gets, a 12V Lithium battery can fit the bill. Though convenient, they don’t last very long, offering only a capacity of 500 mAh. This battery comprises six smaller 1.5V AAAA batteries combined into a single package, similar to the battery box concept. If you need something higher than a 1.5V, you can opt for a 9V alkaline battery. You’re going to need eight 1.5V batteries in a battery case since 1.5V * 8 = 12V. A battery box can house a number of these batteries so that you can pair them in a series. If you want to connect your strip lights to these batteries, they’re going to need a battery box. AA batteries have a capacity of up to 2400 mAh, which means they can last much longer. However, since the AAA is smaller, it only has a capacity of 1000 mAh. Though the two differ in size, they both produce the same 1.5-volt output. The more bulbs you place, the shorter its lifespan gets.ĪAA and AA alkaline batteries are the most available types on the market. Coin cells can only supply 3 volts at 220mAh, enough to light one to a few LED bulbs for a few hours. Coin cells are perfect for applications that need little power, such as single-bulb LEDs for props and decorations. Because there’s not enough space to work with, these LEDs make use of a tiny battery. Many LED lights are compact enough to fit into tight spaces. ![]() LED strips will have copper pads, open wires, or DC receptacles. A majority of battery packs will either have open wiring or DC connectors as their output terminals. 2.3 ConnectivityĪnother thing you need to make sure of is the compatibility of your battery and LED strip connectors. A 12V rechargeable lithium battery with a capacity of 3000 mAh can last longer than an alkaline 9V battery that produces only 500 mAh. The higher your battery’s capacity value in mAh, the longer it can last. Your battery’s capacity tells you how long it can provide current (mA) or power (W) before its charge is used up. ![]() It measures in watts-hours (Wh) or milliamp-hours (mAh). Connecting a 12V strip to a battery that produces more than 12 volts can permanently damage it.Ĭapacity is the amount of power that is stored in a power source like your battery. NOTE: When choosing your battery, ensure that its voltage level doesn’t go above your strip’s voltage need.In contrast, connecting your lights to a battery with a lower voltage may decrease performance and lower brightness. For a 24V LED strip, you can wire two 12V batteries in a series since 12V * 2 = 24V. Because batteries are compact, you’re going to have to connect them up in a series to match your LED’s voltage requirement.įor example, for a 12V LED strip, you’re going to need eight pieces of 1.5 AA batteries since 1.5V * 8 = 12V.

![]() Firstly, not all pictures can be uploaded. The fact that there aren't as many options and menus will please many users who struggle to find the feature they want in the increasingly feature-heavy desktop version and prefer to stay with the drop-down menus in pre-Office 2007 versions. If you're already familiar with Word (Office 2007 and onwards) then the ribbon interface will be very recognizable and you'll be able to easily flick between menus in the slick interface without problems. ![]() This is the biggest omission in this beta version, but there is also no option to export as PDF, no find and replace feature, and spell check wasn't supported on my device (Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0). ![]() One really important feature that is missing at the moment is the ability to collaborate with others on the same document - something that is included in Google Docs.

If you have the OneDrive app on your tablet it automatically syncs the data (you can add both personal and business accounts). The read option borrows from the Kindle by allowing you to change the background of your documents from the traditional white to sepia or black (for night view). With the last option, the ability to switch between read and edit view is a highlight, as Word is not just about creating and editing documents, but also about consuming them. You can format your text, insert objects (such as pictures, text boxes and links), change the layout, track changes and alter viewing options. But Microsoft has brought the most commonly-used features in the desktop version of the program over to the Android tablet touch-optimized offering. Unsurprisingly, Word for Android tablets is not as fully featured as its desktop sister version. In the beta version, there is no need to have an Office 365 account to download these apps a Microsoft email address is enough to sign up to this 'Freemium' version. But Microsoft is working on expanding it further, specifically to Intel-powered tablets.

At Universal Studios Japan, which recently opened its themed Super Nintendo World, fans can find Shrek 4D housed in the same theater as Sesame Street 4D Movie Magic. While Shrek 4D's days may be numbered in the United States, the ride still has a presence in other theme parks around the globe. At this time, there is no news on what attraction will replace Shrek 4D. In 2017, the longstanding T2-3D: Battle Across Time, which was built after the release of Terminator 2, was also shut down in favor of The Bourne Stuntacular. In recent years, other hallmarks of yesteryear have also been shut down in favor of more relevant properties. Shrek 4D was itself a replacement for the Alfred Hitchcock: The Art of Making Movies 3-D film. ![]() ![]() In order for new rides to open up, old rides must be closed down.

Upping your popularity by keeping everything clean and doing a good job during the mini-games is important, but adding decorations and building, remodeling, and adding new spaces to your gas station will take it to new heights and bring in more cash. To do this, it’s going to be more than just doing the basics. Gas stations can be landmarks, and you’re trying your best to make yours into the hot spot everyone wants to go hang out at. ![]() The same applies to buying car parts as well. For instance, the cola might be cheaper right now and better to buy, and the orange soda could be really expensive right now. It’s not complex, you just pay attention to what people are looking for if a thought bubble pops up, but you also take a look to see what is costing more or less via a clickable on the product when you’re buying it. Buying products wasn’t initially interesting to me, but I enjoy the whole management idea. You have a computer sitting at the register where you do all of your business, whether that’s buying products, paying off loans, or of course, improving your gas station. Where a bunch of variety kicks in is the upgrades. As with most simulators though, it does get somewhat tiresome, because the tasks required to progress generally stick with pumping gas twenty-five times or the such. Everything here is accomplished through little mini-games, pumping gas by a meter with a sweet spot to stop in to get tips, operating the register which requires you to make sure you scan something before you drop it into a basket, taking tires off of cars and replacing them it’s a lot of busy work that largely stays fun. Just about anything you can imagine you’d do at a gas station, you’ll be able to do here, and it can be as menial as you’d expect. You’ll start by upgrading your space, getting a warehouse set up, putting up shelves so you can get that sweet convenience store money, a garage to fix cars, etc. Gas Station Simulator isn’t aiming for realism, and that’s just fine with me given the laughs I’ve gotten from it. Beyond that, party buses show up once you’ve built the bus station, bringing with them some awesome music and a bunch of weirdos dancing in alien and dinosaur masks. ![]() For example, you eventually have to fix the water pressure for your car wash and find you must feed the trash bags clogging it up to an alligator who is conveniently sticking his head through a hole in the wall. This one is a bit more “cartoony” in nature, with a funny feel to it. There’s a little bit more to it than that, but like many simulators, you’ll be living out the life of a gas station attendant, or at least what the team at DRAGO entertainment thinks that looks like. What you’ll be doing during your foray into the Dust Bowl is… well, sell gas. The story doesn’t generally hit much harder than this, and it’s not very hot and heavy past it, but it’s a neat idea and gives you a bit of lore in the background. Your gangster looking uncle shows up afterward, telling you it was all a mistake and he didn’t give you nearly enough time, so he wipes the debt and offers to allow you to take out loans, which you will have to pay back in a more generous amount of time in the future. In your first couple of hours you’ll do a lot of clean-up until you hit that moment where you can finally set up your convenience store and start pumping gas, and even then there’s a little surprise when your uncle doesn’t give you nearly enough time to pay him back, leading to a goon punching you in the face and knocking you out. You’re obviously starting with nothing, with nothing besides an uncle who is willing to loan you a little money to get everything started. When I say it’s abandoned, I really mean it too, this place is nasty, covered with dirt, trash, and things I really don’t want to think about. So, it starts like this you’re a young person who decided to drive to the middle of nowhere and sell their car to buy an old, abandoned gas station from your uncle. What caught my attention was the great press Gas Station Simulator received, and with the new DLC releasing and Gaming Trend not having reviewed the base game, I knew it was time to try it out. For whatever reason, we eat them up, and though there’s one for nearly everything out there, I haven’t really tried any out beyond maybe an hour in Goat Simulator. You can be a bee, you can be a psychotic goat, you can farm, you can be a car mechanic, there are so many things you can do, both realistic and funny. Simulators have certainly been a big part of gaming in the last decade. ![]() ![]() 'Bernie Sanders' in the headline with the maniac," Trump said last year.Īnd, last year, Trump similarly insisted that the man who fatally shot nine people in Dayton, Ohio, three days earlier "supported" Sanders and other liberal causes.īut there's no indication either of those shooters mentioned Sanders while launching their attacks, and no charges were ever filed because they were both fatally shot during their assaults. While asserting that "fake" media coverage is exacerbating divisions in the country, Trump has noted that "a fan" of Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders opened fire on Republican lawmakers playing baseball in a Washington suburb two years ago. ![]() "But remember that the people who commit hate fueled violence are not logical, rational people." "Any public figure could have the effect of inspiring people," FBI Director Chris Wray told a Senate panel last year. The perpetrators and suspects identified in the 54 cases are mostly white men – as young as teenagers and as old as 75 – while the victims largely represent an array of minority groups – African-Americans, Latinos, Muslims and gay men.įederal law enforcement authorities have privately told ABC News they worry that – although Trump has offered public denunciations of violence – his statements have been inconsistent and Trump's style could inspire violence-prone individuals to take action against minorities or others they perceive to be against the president's agenda. And in the majority of cases identified by ABC News, it was perpetrators themselves who invoked the president in connection with their case, not anyone else. These links are not speculative – they are documented in official records. The 54 cases identified by ABC News are remarkable in that a link to the president is captured in court documents and police statements, under the penalty of perjury or contempt. But the vast majority of the cases – 41 of the 54 – reflect someone echoing presidential rhetoric, not protesting it.ĪBC News could not find a single criminal case filed in federal or state court where an act of violence or threat was made in the name of President Barack Obama or President George W. Thirteen cases identified by ABC News involved violent or threatening acts perpetrated in defiance of Trump, with many of them targeting Trump's allies in Congress. When three Kansas men were on trial for plotting to bomb a largely-Muslim apartment complex in Garden City, Kansas, one of their lawyers told the jury that the men "were concerned about what now-President Trump had to say about the concept of Islamic terrorism." Another lawyer insisted Trump had become "the voice of a lost and ignored white, working-class set of voters," and Trump's rhetoric meant someone "who would often be at a 7 during a normal day, might ‘go to 11.'" (MORE: 7 key questions about the threat of domestic terrorism in America) When police questioned a Washington state man about his threats to kill a local Syrian-born man, the suspect told police he wanted the victim to "get out of my country," adding, "That’s why I like Trump." "I think my rhetoric brings people together," he said last year, four days after a 21-year-old allegedly posted an anti-immigrant screed online and then allegedly opened fire at a Walmart in El Paso, Texas, killing 22 and injuring dozens of others.īut a nationwide review conducted by ABC News has identified at least 54 criminal cases where Trump was invoked in direct connection with violent acts, threats of violence or allegations of assault.Īfter a Latino gas station attendant in Gainesville, Florida, was suddenly punched in the head by a white man, the victim could be heard on surveillance camera recounting the attacker’s own words: “He said, ‘This is for Trump.'" Charges were filed but the victim stopped pursuing them. President Donald Trump has repeatedly distanced himself from acts of violence in communities across America, dismissing critics who point to his rhetoric as a potential source of inspiration or comfort for anyone acting on even long-held beliefs of bigotry and hate. We've also worked in Virunga National Park in the Democratic Republic of Congo to help to help their park authorities protect wildlife, including the mountain gorillas in the south of the park and eastern lowland gorillas in the north. ![]() Diseases like Ebola, are also a real threat to western lowland gorillas and local people. This project also monitored the health of gorillas and their visitors to protect gorillas from illnesses like the common cold, which can be fatal for gorillas. At Mikongo Conservation Centre in Gabon, we've worked with local people to develop low impact tourism based on viewing of forest wildlife, to provide a sustainable income for both park and local community. By working together to help reduce local people's reliance on wildlife, we can better protect gorillas. Our researchers at ZSL are working to better understand the bushmeat trade to help people living with wildlife. Often diseases which effect people also effect gorillas, which shows the importance of addressing wildlife health and human health together.By recycling old electronics, buying less often and more sustainably can all help reduce the demand on their habitat. The coltan mining industry is also bad news for people too, and is one of the most exploitative industries on earth.

They have a brown to black coat with mature males developing a whitish-silver saddle on their back resulting in the name ‘silverbacks’. Gorillas often only glance at each other as staring can be rude in gorilla company. It can take up to 2-3 months for them to recognise and accept a new zookeeper. Western lowland gorillas typically live in groups of a single silverback and several females and young. Aggression is often avoided by threat displays such as chest beating. western lowland gorillas often climb trees in the wild to find fruit, whereas mountain gorillas rarely climb. The western lowland gorilla also eats much more fruit than the mountain gorilla, with 30% of it's diet made up of fruit whereas mountain gorillas eat no fruit. Western lowland gorillas have shorter hair than the mountain gorilla because they live in hotter rainforests, and they have a red tinted hair on the top of their head. These gorillas are being pushed to the brink of extinction by coltan mining, an alloy used in mobile phones. The eastern lowland gorilla is the largest gorilla and is most at risk, over 50% of eastern lowland gorillas have been lost since the 1990's.Gorillas give birth to a single baby every four to six years, which makes every individual even more important because they breed so slowly.This is a huge wildlife conservation success story, but there are still only 1000 mountain gorillas left. Mountain gorillas are the only great ape that's increasing in number, with an increase in 50% over the last 30 years.Gorillas are herbivorous and mostly feed on leafy greens.Gorillas share 98.4% of their DNA with humans.Gorillas can weigh up to 200kg, which is around the weight of two men.There are four subspecies of gorilla, and they are the largest of all apes. ![]() This makes gorillas crucial to maintaining the biodiversity of their forests, as ecosystem engineers they create a ripple effect to protect wildlife across the forest. ![]() Gorillas are gardeners of the forest and are crucial to their ecosystems, spreading seeds and creating clearings for plants to grow. |
