Why do e-cigarettes and vapes explode?
It helps to understand how your e-cig works. E-cigarettes are battery-powered devices that produce a heated vapor that resembles smoke. They're basically an alternative to smoking traditional cigarettes.
These devices require an electronic heating element known as either an atomizer or cartomizer. The heating element is what vaporizes the liquid solution, or juice. Each device also has a battery, microprocessor, and possibly even have lights to simulate the glow of a burning cigarette. These electronics are the source of the explosion risk—and they're essential to how the vape pen works.
"Automatic" vape pens will turn on when the user sucks in (or takes a drag) on the device, while other versions have a manual on-off switch to start the heating element. Most devices have a time out feature to shut off the heating element. Other protections are also available so that the heat is not triggered in your pocket or purse.
Ultimately, the source of the danger in these devices is the battery. The lithium-ion batteries used in these devices can malfunction and become very dangerous. Essentially, the battery will short circuit, causing a significant increase in temperature. The combination of the temperature increase and a heating element can be deadly.
Although lithium-ion batteries are used in other products, the threat is unique for e-cigarettes and vapes because of the very close proximity to the body when an explosion occurs. The danger is similar to mobile phones but appears to be happening with more frequency, potentially because of the presence of the heating element to create the vapor.
How do I recognize an e-cig explosion?
The explosion usually involves a sudden increase in heat and all or some of the following:
Flash of light
Ejection of the battery or other parts from the device
Some explosions have a loud bang, but not all. If your e-cig gets hot and starts emitting actual smoke rather than just vape, or won't cool down when you turn it off, the battery probably exploded. The same is true if it seems to have swelled up and the electronics have burst out.
While some e-cig explosions are harmless, many cause serious burns. The explosion can also catch other things on fire, or injure the user by launching components out of the device.
How often do e-cigarettes and vapes explode in the United States?
The U.S. Fire Administration did a study in July 2017 that examined e-cigarette and vape fire incidents from 2009 to 2016. That study indicated that there were 195 fire or explosion incidents reported during that period. These incidents caused 133 injuries.
Most explosions occurred while the e-cigarette or vape was in a user's pocket, but almost as many incidents happened when the device was in use—potentially near the face. Other locations included:
While the battery was being charged
When the device was in storage
While the e-cigarette was being transported
The majority of the explosions also resulted in minor fires that involved nearby carpets, clothing, drapes, and bedding, including a number of major fires, where part or all of a building was damaged and required a visit from the fire department.
There were no deaths reported in the study. But, in May 2018, an exploding vape killed a Florida man. The man suffered burns on roughly 80 percent of his body. He ultimately died from a "projectile wound to the head." The company involved in that incident, Smoke-E Mountain Mech Works, is blaming the battery instead of its unique e-cig design called a "mechanical mod." This type of design doesn't use an inner circuitry system to regulate the voltage. It gives users more direct access to the device's battery. Since manufacturer designs like this could potentially impact the explosion risk, legal liability can involve both the manufacturer of the vape and the battery developer.
Why is the manufacturer legally responsible for damages after an explosion?
The number of e-cigarette or vape incidents in the U.S. is increasing over time, likely because more people are using the devices. It may also be the result of more manufacturers creating these devices, and many of them using different designs. Many manufacturers are trying to develop lower-priced models. That raises the question of whether any companies are cutting corners on safety.
But the bottom line is simple:
If a manufacturer creates a defective product, whether because of its the design or how it was manufactured, they are responsible for the damage it causes.
In this type of lawsuit, you, or your lawyer, must show:
The company involved actually manufactured or designed the product,
The product was defective when it left the manufacturer's facility, and
Its defect is what caused your injuries and losses
You do not need to show that the manufacturer was negligent or careless in creating the product—the fact that the e-cigarette or vape exploded is enough to prove that something was seriously wrong with the product.
Victims injured by vape pens may be able to recover money for medical costs, missed work, property damage, all long-term recuperation costs related to the injury, and money for pain, suffering and other personal losses. It is possible for a defective product case to bring a settlement of a million dollars or more.

What is the Catholic Church's policy on the safeguarding of children and vulnerable adults?
The Church recognises the personal dignity and rights of all vulnerable people towards whom it has a special responsibility. The Church and its individual members will undertake all appropriate steps to maintain a safe environment for all and to practice fully and positively Christ's Ministry towards children, young people and vulnerable adults, and to respond sensitively and compassionately to their needs in order to help keep them safe from harm.
The Church authorities will liaise closely with statutory agencies to ensure that any allegations of abuse are promptly and properly responded to and, where appropriate, survivors are supported and perpetrators held to account.
Safeguarding is the protection of children and vulnerable adults, who are suffering or at risk of suffering significant harm, ill treatment, the impairment of health or development, abuse or neglect. It involves proactively creating cultures of safeguarding to prevent abuse occurring in the first place and reacting to those who have been hurt by abuse to reduce any future harm.
If you would like to have some training about Domestic Abuse, please put in a request via the training page.
If you become aware that someone in your parish community is or may be experiencing abuse, a response is invariably required.
What you do can make a difference.
Anyone who has not yet reached their 18th birthday.
The entitlement to services or protection from being defined as a child remains the same.
Somebody may abuse or neglect a child by inflicting harm, or by failing to act to prevent harm. Children may be abused in a family or in an institutional or community setting, by those known to them or, more rarely, by a stranger. They may be abused by an adult or adults, or by a child or children.
Please see the attached documents for more information on types of abuse and the indications of abuse.
I am worried that a child may be being harmed by someone in a family or household. What should I do?
If you have clear information or a disclosure, report the matter to the Police or local Social Care Department whose telephone number will be in your local phone book or on a Police or Local Authority website. You must also report it to the Safeguarding Co-ordinator in the Diocese in case information has already been reported, which needs putting together.
I am worried that a child may be being abused by a member of the Clergy or Religious, or by an employee or volunteer within the Catholic Church. What should I do?
Inform the Local Safeguarding Co-ordinator Colette Hammill immediately. Do not discuss your concerns with the person you suspect. If you decide to take advice from someone within the organisation that is not an alternative to notifying the Safeguarding Co-ordinator.
Please report the issue to the Safeguarding Co-ordinator using the attached form, filled in as soon as possible.
What if a child tells me they are being hurt?
It can be hard to hear direct from a child.
What if I am worried about something but it's not clear cut?
All groups and activities within the Diocese should have a mechanism for sharing concerns. You can also talk to colleagues or call the Local Safeguarding Representatives and Commission Members Cath Ratcliffe on 0797 038 7178 or Dave Coefield on 0775 447 1052, if Colette Hammill and other colleagues are not available. It's better to talk things through rather than worry on your own. You can always anonymise information you discuss in order to try and think it through, whilst protecting the privacy of the people concerned. Of course, if a safeguarding or child protection issue is highlighted in that discussion, then it cannot be kept confidential.
What will happen when I inform someone that a child is being abused by someone working for the Church?
It is the policy of the Catholic Church in England and Wales to ensure that all allegations of abuse are referred immediately to the Police and Social Services Departments who are responsible for investigating those allegations. We do this to make sure that all information available is shared with those with the legal responsibility to investigate and also to ensure that there can be no possible suspicion of a cover-up by the Church. In cases where the Statutory Authorities decide that they will not, or cannot investigate, but concerns remain about the safety of children and young people, enquiries will be made by those with responsibility for safeguarding within the Church.
In all cases, detailed advice will be given about processes to be followed, and those who are subject of concerns are entitled to support and representation.
What will happen to me if I report something?
Your concerns will always be taken seriously and the Safeguarding Coordinator will ensure that you are supported during and after the process of you passing on information. Every situation is different but we know that it is hard to report something, especially if it is about someone you know and trust.
Remember that reporting a concern or passing on information is not making an accusation.
As far as possible, the details of the person reporting are kept confidential, and will only be shared with those who need to know. The Safeguarding Co-ordinator will share as much as possible with you about the matter that is being dealt with.
When we talk about vulnerable adults we are referring to adults in particular situations, receiving support and who may have specific needs, for example because of illness or disability.
Any one of us can be psychologically, spiritually or physically vulnerable at any time. We have an obligation always to care for each other, and we can usually do this without recourse to law or statutory guidance.
In some circumstances however, we have to be mindful of the guidance about vulnerable adults and take additional steps to protect the wellbeing of people designated as vulnerable by law.
A person aged 18 or over who is receiving, or who is eligible for, community care services by reason of mental or other disability, age, or illness, may be unable to care for themselves or be unable to protect themselves against significant harm or exploitation.
The violation of an individual's human rights and civil rights by any other person or persons.
The abuse may consist of single act or be systematic. It may be intentional or unintentional, but will result in harm. In the statutory guidance about vulnerable adults, there are more categories of abuse than for children. These include physical, psychological, sexual, neglect, financial, discriminatory and institutional.
It is important that in trying to protect people from abuse, we do not view people who fit the designation of vulnerable adult, as always needy and always vulnerable. That would be contrary to the life affirming and enabling approach we take towards the safeguarding task, and is potentially discriminatory.
The law assumes capacity; in other words that a person who is vulnerable, for example because of age or disability, who has to rely on others for support, is still entitled to make decisions about how to live their lives, even if that is uncomfortable. This might mean that, for example, people sometimes choose to have someone support them who is unsuitable.
Our responsibility is to ensure that we do everything possible to promote wellbeing, to maximise opportunities to exercise choice and to be safe.
What if I suspect that a vulnerable adult is being exploited or abused?
If you suspect abuse, you become an alerter.
You cannot keep it confidential, even if you think or believe that the person has capacity.
It is rare to have information which suggests that a person is at immediate risk but if you do, for example if you are visiting someone who has an unexplained injury, you should use your common sense and get medical help to ensure immediate safety.
You should always report it to the designated person in your organisation and the Safeguarding Co-ordinator.
What if I'm told by a vulnerable adult that they are being abused or exploited and they ask me not to say anything?
It is possible that the person has capacity and is choosing to offload whilst not wanting to do anything about what is happening. Sometimes people fear the consequences of reporting. However, that is not your decision to make.
What happens to me if I've gone against someone's wishes?
In reporting concerns about possible abuse you have acted responsibly. If you have acted in good faith then you have done nothing wrong.
More often than not, people reporting concerns and telling you something want you to know so that it can be sorted.
Where appropriate, the Safeguarding Office can meet with the persons and yourself at a later point to explain why you should have taken actions required of you. You are not liable to be sued, or open to formal complaint.
In 2013, Bishop John Rawsthorne published a pastoral letter about the challenges posed by domestic abuse.
Bishops of the Catholic Church state clearly and strongly that Church teaching shows that violence against another person in any form fails to treat that person as someone worthy of love.
The equal dignity of man and woman is the true basis for a just and fair relationship. Marriage therefore needs to be presented more effectively as a covenant relationship, a partnership of life and love built on equality and mental respect.
Re-education of men and women as equal partners is necessary. Eradicating the roots of violence means facing the truth about patriarchal structures that maintain this violence. It means querying the subordinate position of women in the Church.
We recognise that men experience abuse too and that although less frequent, the effects may be just as strong. All Domestic Abuse partnerships in our Diocese provide advice to men and women.
What to do if you are concerned about someone who has experienced domestic abuse or violence?
Firstly, if someone who is experiencing abuse tells you what is happening, try not to take over.
Enable the person to remain in charge of what they do.
People experiencing domestic abuse will have experienced someone taking over their lives or controlling them.
You should of course get advice if the safety of a child is compromised and follow good practice in reporting concerns about children.
The Diocese of Hallam has produced a simple guide to help a friend which you can view here.
You can also view our helpful list of support and advice organisations on our contacts page.
You could go to the Catholics Experiencing Domestic Abuse Resources website.
You could also look at the Diocesan "Raising Awareness of Domestic Abuse" pamphlet, 29 pages of easy to read resource information by the National Board of Catholic Women 2010. Copies are available from the Safeguarding Office.
As far as possible, all volunteers and workers realise they may encounter victims/survivors of domestic abuse and that they know to whom to refer.
The Domestic Abuse Disclosure Scheme (DADS), commonly known as Clares Law, is now implemented across South Yorkshire commonly known as Clare's Law is now implemented across South Yorkshire.
The DADS scheme gives members of the public a formal mechanism to make enquiries about an individual who they are in a relationship with or who is in a relationship with someone they know and there is concern that the individual may be violent towards their partner.
Should police checks show that an individual has a record of violent offences or there is other information to indicate the victim is at risk, then the police will consider sharing this information via a disclosure meeting.
If you want further information, please contact the Safeguarding Office or check the Vida (formerly the Sheffield Domestic Violence/Abuse Forum) or any of your local domestic abuse services.

PHILADELPHIA — A former fresh food manager is suing former employer Wawa Inc., citing alleged hostile work environment, violation of civil rights, and wrongful or constructive termination.
Christina Campellone filed a complaint on April 25 in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania against the defendant, alleging that it violated the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Pennsylvania Human Rights Act.
According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges that, in December 2014, she notified a manager of her intent to breastfeed her newborn son and asked for time and space to express breast milk twice a day. After a leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act, she alleges, she was instructed to use the common room to express breast milk and on several occasions her colleagues invaded her privacy. On April 4, 2015, she notified defendant that she was resigning on April 18, 2015, she alleges.
As a result, she claims, she has suffered and will continue to suffer damages due to loss of past and future earnings, emotional distress and humiliation. The plaintiff holds Wawa Inc. responsible because the defendant allegedly failed to provide reasonable space to express breast milk, subjected her to a hostile working environment, failed to take corrective action to preclude her colleagues from further invading her privacy and retaliated against her for exercising her rights under the FMLA.
The plaintiff requests a trial by jury and seeks declaration that defendant violated the Fair Labor Standards Act, back pay, liquidated damages, attorney's fees and all costs for this action, pre- and post-judgement interest and such other relief as is just and equitable. She is represented by Michael Patrick Murphy, Jr. of Murphy Law Group LLL in Philadelphia.

LEADERSHIP: Understanding Theory, Style, and Practice, is a detailed look at organisational leadership and skills. It enriches its reader with a thorough knowledge of leadership theories, styles and practices and how they can affect the success of an organisation. The author, Dr John Alizor, is a leadership expert with over 35 years experience in leadership roles.
The author believes that there is need for education and reeducation of people, especially for those seeking positions of leadership. Indeed, for these set of people, this book couldn't have come at a better time than now.
For a man, born as an orphan in Nigeria, Dr Alizor worked hard to achieve the dream of becoming a self-made man. He rose to become the man he is today because he had the courage to convince the right people to give him a chance. It is therefore worthy of note that a man who clearly has the ability to lead would be able to give sound advice on leadership.
Dr Alizor's book is compelling, insightful and thought-provoking. His style is simple and uses a theorist-practitioner model to outline leadership styles, the different leadership challenges and how to apply these styles to different business challenges.
The book is divided into three distinctive parts. Part 1 begins with a thorough examination of leadership and management as well as the difference between the two concepts, however, similar. He goes on to discuss how these leadership theories can improve an organisation's performance.
In the 2nd part of the book, he draws four hypothetical stories that border on the lives of a few leaders in order to demonstrate challenges one may face as a leader. He then helps readers to link these theories to real life practice. He also discuses four different leadership styles and how each style can be applied to various situations.
Finally, the last part of the book outlines definitive courses of action for the emerging leader. It clearly discusses steps to take and attitudes to develop in order to become a successful organisational leader. It treats topics like employee respect and communication.
Readers, especially those in education and industry, will find this book very informative and it is sure to enhance their leadership skills. It delivers the message clearly through its style and composition.
It is difficult not to like the simplicity and strong message of this book. However, the author falls short by tailoring this wonderful piece for academic and industry purposes alone and not for personal consumption. Nevertheless this does not detract from the clarity and power of its message.

Q: Figuring out apple time I am fairly new to big-o and i'm trying to figure out what the big o running time is for this small section of code. I know that usually if there i but does the whole array thing change anything? I'm fairly confused so any bit of input would be great. Thanks in advance!
public apple(int n)
{
    int n = 0;
    int apple = 0;
    a = apple + n;
}

A: When determining algorithmic complexity in terms of Big Oh Notation, the most dominant term is used to determine the complexity. Although the complexity of this algorithm in detail could be said to be 1 + n + n + 1, the complexity of it is O(2n) because that is the sum of dominant terms.
If the complexity in an arbitrary algorithm was 2 + 5n + n*n then the the complexity would be O(n^2) where n was > 5. otherwise it'd be 5n

A man called Labid bin al-A'sam from the tribe of Bani Zaraiq worked magic on Allah's Apostle till Allah's Apostle started imagining that he had done a thing that he had not really done. One day or one night he was with us, he invoked Allah and invoked for a long period, and then said, "O 'Aisha! Do you know that Allah has instructed me concerning the matter I have asked him about? Two men came to me and one of them sat near my head and the other near my feet. One of them said to his companion, "What is the disease of this man?" The other replied, "He is under the effect of magic.' The first one asked, 'Who has worked the magic on him?' The other replied, "Labid bin Al-A'sam.' The first one asked, 'What material did he use?' The other replied, 'A comb and the hairs stuck to it and the skin of pollen of a male date palm.' The first one asked, 'Where is that?' The other replied, '(That is) in the well of Dharwan;' " So Allah's Apostle along with some of his companions went there and came back saying, "O 'Aisha, the colour of its water is like the infusion of Henna leaves. The tops of the date-palm trees near it are like the heads of the devils." I asked. "O Allah's Apostle? Why did you not show it (to the people)?" He said, "Since Allah cured me, I disliked to let evil spread among the people." Then he ordered that the well be filled up with earth.
