Fourteen-year-old Madison Coe decided to take a bath and took her mobile phone with her. She attached the charger to it and placed the cord on a towel so it wouldn't get wet. The girl, who died from electric shock, was discovered by her adoptive mother. The girl's parents, who have medical training, carried out resuscitation efforts, but they could not save Maddie.
The girls' relatives said in an interview with the American television show Inside Edition that she loved to lie in the water with a phone in her hand. “I went into the bathroom to hurry Maddie up. It was already time for her to go to bed, recalls Felisha Owens, the girl’s adoptive mother. “I called out to Maddie, but she didn’t answer.”
A police investigation revealed that the girl's cause of death was electric shock. The charger connected to the cell phone was connected to an ungrounded wall socket in the bathroom via an extension cord. According to investigators, the girl died the moment she removed the charger adapter from the phone.
Inside Edition investigative reporter Lisa Guererro and electrical engineer Steve Fowler decided to test what would happen to a person if a cell phone fell into water.
Having placed the device in a filled bathtub, Steve measured the level of electrical voltage - the result was negative. Steve explained that mobile phones themselves do not generate electrical current and are relatively harmless.
It's another matter when a charger is connected to the phone. And if the integrity of the wire is also compromised, the results can be disastrous. As soon as Steve dropped the phone into the water, connected to the electrical network through the charger, the voltmeter readings immediately reached their maximum limits. “The person in this bathtub would already be dead,” Lisa Guererro commented on the situation.
According to Steve Fowler, it is unsafe to keep electrical wires even some distance from the bathtub. Lisa and Steve repeated the experiment using a curling iron and a hair straightener, and in both cases the current discharge reached a level that was fatal to humans. “Never use devices plugged into a wall outlet near a full bathtub,” the experiment warns.
Read the article, and then relax. Today is Friday...We love our smartphones. For us they are everything: maps, a compass, a cinema, a game library, a library, a music library, a way to communicate with the whole world... And sometimes we also call. Many people experience anxiety attacks if they realize that they have left home without their digital friend.
Few have thought that the thing we love so much could one day lead to our death. In fact, more people are now killed trying to take a selfie than from being attacked by a shark! Probably the only thing more dangerous is taking a selfie with a shark. Below are 10 of the strangest deaths caused by our favorite electronic devices.
10. A man fell off a high cliff while using his phone.
We're all texting on the go, and that's wrong. While we go home, we do some shopping at the store or take a walk in the park. While we are walking, with our eyes buried in our smartphone, we can bump into something or someone, but still, with the help of our sixth sense, we constantly manage to take our eyes off the screen at the very moment when it remains to meet the pillar some few seconds. Unfortunately for Joshua Burwell, his sixth sense failed him.
For Christmas 2015, Burwell traveled to the scenic Sunset Cliffs in San Diego, where tourists and locals gather to watch the sunset. People go there in hopes of taking a beautiful sunset photo for Instagram and getting as many likes as possible, and Burwell was no exception. But he was so glued to his smartphone that he didn’t even notice that he had left the safe part of the cliff. He continued walking until he reached the very edge and fell from a height of 18 meters. People nearby heard someone calling for help, and a small group of daredevils made a dangerous descent down where they found Joshua. Unfortunately, by the time they got down to him, he was already dead.
Witnesses say they saw Burwell walking along the cliff with his head in his phone when he simply tripped over the edge and fell. "He wasn't looking where he was going; he was looking down at his phone screen," said one witness to the incident.
9. A man was killed after using the Find My Phone feature.
Many of you throw your phone anywhere. The worst thing is that this always happens precisely when the phone is in vibrate mode or even “Silent”. For such losers, tracking apps are perhaps the best thing ever invented.
But it may be the last application you use in your life. In February 2016, a 23-year-old man from Birmingham, Alabama, USA, had his iPhone stolen. Remembering that he could use an app to track his smartphone and locate it, he found out that his phone was active and found out exactly what address he was at. Encouraged, he went to the specified address - the parking lot of a suburban Baptist church. Using a tracking app, he sent a beep to his phone and heard it in the car parked next to him. When he tried to reach inside to get his phone, the thief shot him. The young man died on the spot.
The police chief had this to say: "If you have an app like this on your phone, contact your local police department. Let the police do their job and get your stolen property back. Don't try to solve this problem yourself - these things usually don't end well."
8. A man caused a serious accident by texting while driving.
Every driver thinks they are a good enough driver to take their eyes off the road for a few seconds to write a text message. But it turns out that, according to statistics, in the United States, every fourth traffic accident occurs due to the fact that the driver was distracted by writing a message.
Consider this fact: if you are driving at 80-100 kilometers per hour, you will cover a football field in the time it takes to write a short text message. Unfortunately, one young man did not know this.
On the morning of August 5, 2010, a 19-year-old guy from Missouri, USA, was driving to work as usual. His pickup truck rear-ended the truck, causing the school bus behind him to hit his pickup truck, which in turn hit the first school bus. A young man and a 15-year-old schoolboy died on the spot, and another 38 people were seriously injured. Police said an examination of the pickup truck driver's cell phone showed he sent five text messages in the two minutes before he was killed.
After the incident, a spokesman for the US National Transportation Safety Board said: "It is impossible to know for sure whether the driver was typing a message on his phone or reading it at the time of the accident, but it is clear that his hands, mind and eyes were distracted from the road. Driving at that moment, not was his priority. No post, no message, no update is worth a human life."
7. The girl died from electric shock while answering a phone call.
For most of us, picking up the phone and answering a call is as natural as breathing, and we treat it as one of the most ordinary, low-risk things. Ma Eilong, a 23-year-old from China, probably thought the same.
Eilun's sister, who was present at the tragic accident, told investigators that Ma plugged her iPhone into the charger the same way she had probably done 1,000 times before. Eilun heard the ringing and picked up the phone to answer while it was still connected to the charger. She was electrocuted, fainted and died before the ambulance arrived.
While Apple representatives have not commented on the incident, they immediately offered their condolences to the family and began their own investigation into the strange death. All evidence pointed to Eilun using an officially licensed Apple charger, refuting the claim that an unlicensed accessory was a possible cause of her death. To date, Apple has not released details of its investigation.
6. The woman buried her face in her phone while crossing the road.
Every second you need to know what is happening around you, especially when you use your mobile phone in public places, especially if you are a pedestrian and walk in a stream of people. You can endlessly list the risks you face when using a smartphone on the go, but every year there are more and more people walking down the street and staring at their phones. They often don't realize how close they are to being the victim of a terrible accident.
In 2015, a woman from Zhongshan City, Guangdong Province, China was crossing the road as usual, an action so common that she could do it on autopilot without paying enough attention to the traffic on the road. She looked down at her phone and crossed the lane, but a moment later she was hit by a truck in the oncoming lane, causing her to be thrown into the lane she had just crossed. Without time to recover and get up, she immediately found herself under the wheels of another large truck, the driver of which had no time at all to react to the person who was in his way. The woman died on the spot.
Most likely, even if the woman had time to get up, it would hardly have changed her fate much. China has one of the highest death rates among pedestrians due to a law that requires any driver who seriously harms a pedestrian to cover all medical expenses for the victim for the rest of their life. Injuring a pedestrian can cost millions of dollars, which is why there is a popular saying in China: “It is better to run over and kill than to run over and injure.”
Because of this, many cases have been reported in China of people hitting a pedestrian, then backing up and running their wheels over the victim several times to ensure they kill him. They didn't even spare the children. It doesn't help that most people who run over someone to death receive fairly lenient sentences and don't even serve jail time.
In this case, the woman herself is to blame, the court and common sense decided so. And according to the law, her family will not receive any compensation, and the truck driver and the company he worked for will not bear any responsibility.
5. A man climbed into a trash compactor to return his lost phone.
We are more afraid that our phone will break than any other thing. Many people do things they would never normally do, all in order to get their favorite phone back. You can find thousands of stories and videos online of people diving into the toilet to save their phone. All moral standards and fears go down the drain when a person is overwhelmed by the fear of losing his phone.
It was this fear that caused the terrible incident that occurred in Illinois, USA. In 2013, Roger Mirro told one of his neighbors that he accidentally dropped his phone down the garbage disposal. He looked everywhere for the key to gain access to the room where all the garbage ends up, where he hoped to find his phone and save it from the press. And then Roger disappeared, disappeared very briefly, only for three hours. This fact forced Roger's wife to go to the police.
After speaking with residents of the apartment complex, investigators went to the trash collection area and discovered that the lock on the door had been removed. They entered and climbed the stairs to the top of the trash compactor. Unfortunately, inside they discovered the mutilated body of Roger Mirro.
4. The woman threw herself into the fire to save her phone.
Why would you rush into a burning house? What would you risk your life for? For the sake of the child? Definitely yes! For the sake of a loved one? Yes! For the sake of a smartphone? Mmmm... No. A smartphone is clearly not something worth risking your life for. But Wendy Ribolt thought differently.
Wendy's home from Bartonville, Illinois, USA, caught fire while she and her teenage daughter were inside. Fortunately, they both managed to escape unharmed, despite the fire engulfing everything around them. Ribolt then remembered that she had left her phone in the house and ran back to get it. But the second time the burning house did not let her out.
The policeman who arrived first tried to save her, but the smoke was too acrid to penetrate deep into the house. He was later hospitalized with carbon monoxide poisoning. When firefighters arrived on the scene, they too attempted to enter the house to rescue the woman, but by then the fire was too intense and they were forced to stop searching until the fire was extinguished. An autopsy revealed that Ribolt died of severe carbon monoxide poisoning.
3. A girl was electrocuted while trying to take the perfect selfie.
Who knew that the simple innovation of a front-facing camera on a smartphone would become as important as it is today? Everywhere you go, you'll see people taking selfies, and you certainly can't go on social media without coming across millions of selfies. In fact, most of the photos on modern users' phones are selfies.
The popularization of selfies in modern society has inevitably given rise to what many call a “selfie culture,” where everyone is trying to outdo each other by showing off how great their lives are through beautiful or epic selfies. People go to the highest mountain or look for the most picturesque places for their photos. And in 2014, the first “Olympic Selfie Games” took place, during which people tried to take the most unusual and funny selfies. But the desire to take the perfect photo can lead to bad consequences, and even death.
Anna Ursu, an 18-year-old girl from Bucharest, Romania, is a clear example of this. In May 2015, Anna, like many teenagers her age, was engrossed in her phone's front-facing camera, trying to take the perfect selfie. Anna and her friend decided to go to the train depot to take some photos. One of them suggested climbing onto the roof of the carriage and taking a photo there. Anna's friend claims that everything was fine until Anna touched a wire that ran over the train while trying to take a selfie. The wire was under high voltage. At that same second, Anna received an electric shock. The tension was so high that the girl caught fire.
The girl was quickly taken to a Bucharest hospital in the hope of saving her life, but her burns were too severe. Anisia Iliescu, a doctor in the emergency room, told reporters that Ursa could not be saved due to her physical condition. “Almost her entire body was burned,” the doctor stated.
2. The man's phone exploded.
We try our best to protect our phones. We buy cases, protective films and a lot of other accessories to avoid damage to our devices. The smartphone accessories industry projects revenue of more than $38 billion in 2017. We are afraid that our smartphones will get damaged or break. But perhaps we are the ones who need protection from our smartphones?
In 2010, Gopal Guijjar from India was tending his flock and talking on his Nokia mobile phone, as he had done many times, when suddenly the phone exploded right next to his ear, killing the young man. When investigators arrived on the scene, they found Guijard lying on the ground with severe burns and injuries to his ear, head, neck and shoulders, with pieces of his badly damaged phone lying around. As it later became known, Nokia had problems with counterfeit batteries that caused phones to explode.
Unfortunately, this is not the only death caused by a phone explosion. Such deaths have been reported in China and Nepal. Representatives from each of the companies involved said they were investigating the strange deaths and pledged to do as much research as possible to prevent similar incidents in the future.
1. Three children drowned while their mother was playing on her phone.
Children always need protection from their parents, but we all know that modern parents do not always take their obligations responsibly.
In 2015, in a town called Irving, Texas, USA, Patricia Allen went to the pool in her apartment complex with her three children (she had five children in total). It was reported that she and her husband knew that the children could not swim, but the husband convinced his wife that the children swam well enough to be in the pool. Horribly, all three children drowned. Witnesses said Allen was near the pool but was constantly looking at her phone. She began to panic when she realized that she could not find her children.
James McClellan of the Irving Police Department relayed the words of witnesses to reporters: "Witnesses approached the pool and saw the mother sitting on the edge and desperately peering into the deep part of it. They also noticed that the water was still and calm, and there were no fluctuations, splashes or bubbles." there was nothing on the water. After the mother found nothing, she got up and left the pool."
The children's bodies were later recovered from the bottom of the deepest part of the pool. The children might have been alive if their mother had not been so engrossed in her smartphone.

Is this what you were looking for? Perhaps this is something you couldn’t find for so long?
The greatest danger to health comes not from electromagnetic radiation, as most people think, but from electric current. Another sad confirmation of this was the case of the deceased Moscow schoolgirl - her body with traces of electrical trauma was discovered in the bathtub by the mother of a teenager, next to the deceased there was a burnt mobile phone.
The fact is that modern chargers are designed using a pulse voltage converter circuit. In other words, if the old chargers consistently produced the required number of volts (1, 3, 5), now everything works differently: inside the charger there are power elements operating at voltages sometimes above 220 volts.
The case of the Moscow schoolgirl is far from unique. In July 2013, Chinese woman Ma Ai Lun was electrocuted after she got out of the shower and picked up a plugged-in iPhone 5 with wet hands: the case was so public that Apple officially offered condolences.
In February 2015, a 24-year-old Muscovite dropped her iPhone 4 into a filled bathtub - the girl was killed by a current discharge passing through the cable that was charging the smartphone. A year later, a similar fate befell a 14-year-old schoolgirl (also from Moscow): bath, exercise, smartphone, death.
Poor quality "chargers". However, water is not always needed for a sad outcome. In the early 2010s, copies of popular smartphones were sold on a gigantic scale in Asia. These devices were unsafe: at least two cases are known where calls from “scorched” phones that were charging turned fatal. Water was no longer required for this.
Storm- this is not the time for talking. In addition, you need to remember an important rule: you should never talk on the phone during a thunderstorm if you are in an open space. Last July, in the west of Moscow, the life of a worker named Aidar was interrupted: while his colleagues on the team were hiding under a tree, he had an intimate conversation, which ended with lightning striking his phone. There was no time to save Aidar: death was almost instantaneous.
Battery explosion. Another trouble that can happen with a smartphone is an explosion. In 2007, a 22-year-old Chinese man died due to an explosion of a smartphone in his breast jacket pocket (a shrapnel hit his heart), and in 2009, an exploding battery hit the cervical artery of a resident of Guangzhou province.
Smaller incidents occur every few months. For example, in 2014, a smartphone exploded in the hands of a Chinese woman riding on a bus. That same year, a Samsung Galaxy S4 caused a fire in the bed of a 13-year-old North Texas girl. And already this year, a Belarusian schoolboy unsuccessfully disconnected the battery from a Lenovo smartphone - it exploded and burned the carpet.
As a rule, manufacturers do not admit their guilt in such emergencies. Firstly, they appeal to safety precautions. Secondly, they require you to charge your smartphone only with original chargers. And thirdly, they decline responsibility if the battery installed in the smartphone was not branded.
Selfie from the mind
Last September, Mashable published a monstrous statistic: in 2015, more people died trying to take a selfie than from shark attacks.
The world is obsessed with “crossbows” - people are ready to do anything for the sake of a successful shot. Below is a selection of several accidents that could have been avoided if smartphones did not have front-facing cameras.
A 17-year-old Russian woman did not live to reach adulthood because of Instagram: the girl was taking a selfie on a 10-meter bridge, fell, grabbed a high-voltage cable and died on the spot.
A 19-year-old Volgograd resident wanted to scare his lover: he climbed into the noose, placed boxes under his feet and even took out his phone to take a selfie. The boxes suddenly collapsed, and the teenager met his death in the noose.
A teenager from the Kemerovo region dreamed of a spectacular selfie on a high-voltage power transmission tower. This is how the guy learned what it means to sacrifice his life for a dream. True, I still couldn’t take a selfie.
The Muscovite took a selfie on the outside of the balcony, but did not take into account that he was on the 20th floor. Fall, death on the spot.
There are no crayfish here
Now from real threats - to the most common misconception about the dangers of smartphones, namely the myth that electronic devices cause cancer. Every year, studies are published that contradict each other. Some scientists (for example, experts from the scientific journal Electromagnetic Biology & Medicine) argue that magnetic radiation from smartphones and Wi-Fi routers can adversely affect human health and even cause cancer.
Other scientists analyzed the condition of 12 thousand people from 13 countries for 10 years, spent 24 million dollars, but found that talking on a mobile and landline phone is equally harmful if abused. The conclusion was quite abstract: some people who talk on the phone for 30 or more minutes a day for ten years have a higher risk of cancer than others. How much higher is unknown. Which people are at risk is also a mystery.
The truth is that only those who made a business out of them benefited from the frightening rumors: in markets and in underground passages you can still find shiny stickers that supposedly absorb all the radiation.
However, no less valid is the point of view that, in fact, phones have no effect at all on the development of cancer. In Australia they keep a journal of cancer epidemiology - all diseases have been recorded there since 1982. To conduct the study, scientists simply compared data from the medical records of 34 thousand men and women between 1982 and 2012.
Disease statistics have been superimposed on mobile phone distribution statistics. In 1993, 10% of the population had them, in 2012 - 95% of the population. Of course, the number of patients with brain cancer (which is what phones are usually blamed for) has not increased proportionately.
Most scientists agree: to get brain cancer, a person needs to expose himself to more powerful and long-lasting radiation than that generated by a mobile phone.
"In the United States, cell phones are everywhere. We expected to see brain cancer rates going up, but that's not what we're seeing. Rates have been steadily declining since the 1980s," said pediatrics professor Aaron Carroll, who based his findings on an experiment with rats that were exposed to electromagnetic radiation).
Everyone should know this: safety rules
Deadly electricity. Only prudence and basic knowledge of the safe use of electrical equipment can save you from electric shock.
Not allow your loved ones to take gadgets with chargers into the bath and conduct a brief education about their dangers if they fall into the water. But do not forget that even a smartphone disconnected from the power supply is potentially dangerous due to its battery.
Not Buy low-quality chargers; saving a few hundred rubles can cost your life or health.
Not talk on your cell phone during a thunderstorm outdoors.
Do not disassemble or bend. Internal damage due to improper use can lead to destruction of the shell, heating and even explosion of the smartphone or tablet battery. Low-quality or counterfeit batteries often represent a “time bomb”: at best, after a short time they will swell and simply ruin the gadget.
Selfie safety. To avoid joining the list of selfie victims, do not forget about safety rules wherever you are. Often the feeling of euphoria dulls the instinct of self-preservation, so once again it doesn’t hurt to think about whether the resulting shot is worth the risk.
This school year, Russian schools have held optional lessons on safe selfies. In addition, the Ministry of Internal Affairs created a memo that describes the most dangerous and unsuitable situations for selfies.
Radiation. If you follow all safety rules, but are still worried about your health, it would be a good idea to reduce your exposure to electromagnetic radiation from your gadget. The greatest danger is posed by devices with cellular modules, especially smartphones, because... These are the ones we bring close to our heads during a conversation.
To reduce their impact on your health, use headsets more often, because... The radiation intensity decreases inversely with the square of the distance to the radiation source. In addition, a smartphone that has not been certified by the regulatory authorities of the Russian Federation may emit a stronger electromagnetic field, this is worth keeping in mind when buying little-known “Chinese” ones.
A murder has been committed in South Korea. The main accused is a cell phone from the local manufacturer "LG". The bloody body of a 33-year-old resident of the city of Chengwon was discovered by his work colleagues, who immediately called the police and an ambulance. Law enforcement officials found a cell phone with a melted battery in the chest pocket of the deceased’s shirt. “The man suffered a burn to the chest, his ribs and spine were broken. Death was caused by pressure on the heart and lungs caused by the explosion,” forensic experts said after examining the body.
Representatives of LG Electronics, one of the five largest mobile phone suppliers in the world, have not yet commented on the incident. “We’re finding out,” the company’s Moscow representative office told a Trud correspondent with irritation.
Oddly enough, cases of mobile phone explosions are not uncommon. In the United States, for example, an average of 50 cell phones explode and spontaneously ignite per year. According to experts, the main reason is the use of damaged or counterfeit batteries.
This summer, a worker died in China after his phone exploded in his pocket. Just two months ago in India, a Nokia phone battery exploded in the hands of a woman and the victim suffered burns. The company will pay monetary compensation for moral and physical damage. In 2003, a resident of the Netherlands was injured while talking on the phone - a Nokia device exploded and caught fire right next to her ear. As a result, the woman received burns to her face and neck. According to a company representative, "the incident was caused by a counterfeit battery."
Experts from the Department of Industry and Commerce of South China's Guangdong Province conducted a study. Experts tested 40 batches of batteries for various brands of mobile phones and found that only 60 percent of them met quality and safety requirements. Motorola and Nokia mobile phone batteries explode more often than others.
“We are completely confident in the batteries that are sold in our center,” the official Moscow service center of LG told Trud. - It makes no difference to us whether they are made in Korea or China. We have nothing to do with those products that are sold outside our center. We don't know what is sold there.
“Over the past year, they have never been contacted with a claim for an exploding telephone,” Victoria, manager of the claims department at Euroset, told Trud. - I haven’t heard of anything like this happening in Russia.
>According to the analytical company IDC, last year LG took sixth place in terms of sales among the world's mobile phone manufacturers supplying their products to Russia. She managed to occupy 3.5 percent of the Russian market. And the top five looks like this: Nokia, Samsung, Motorola, BenQ-Siemens, Sony Ericsson.
"Chinese battery explosions are common"
Alexander Puchkov, service engineer:
The first and most likely reason why a cell phone might explode is a faulty lithium battery. Lithium is an alkali metal that quickly oxidizes in air and begins to release hydrogen. Hydrogen is a very flammable gas; it explodes at the slightest contact with a spark. If the battery case is not sealed (and this is possible if the manufacturing technology is violated), then lithium leakage is inevitable. And the spark could have arisen from a short circuit. By the way, for a long time they did not dare to put lithium batteries into use precisely because they could not develop the appropriate safety precautions.
The second reason is possible problems in a device called a controller. It sits in the circuit between the phone charger and the battery. If the controller is faulty, the battery begins to heat up when charging, and gases are released that rupture the battery case. An explosion is more likely if the phone is assembled in China. Violations of battery production technology are commonplace there. By the way, we can recall the recent scandal with regular explosions of Sony laptops. Batteries for them were made in China, and then it was the “left” batteries that ruined more than a dozen computers.
Flight attendant Ma Ailiung was killed by a powerful electric shock after answering her mobile phone while it was charging. Now the family of the deceased is waiting for “an explanation of what happened” from Apple, the elder sister of the deceased girl states on her Sina Weibo blog, ITAR-TASS reports citing the Xinhua agency.
“I hope that all iPhone owners will refrain from using them while charging,” she wrote on her microblog page, noting that her deceased sister used a genuine iPhone 5.
The police, in turn, confirmed that the girl died from electric shock, but all the circumstances of the death remain to be clarified.
Meanwhile, Apple has already offered its condolences to Ma Ailiung's relatives and expressed “deep regret” over the incident, saying that it will cooperate with the investigation into this incident.
Note that the case of the Chinese woman is not the only one where mobile phones have led to severe injuries or death. Thus, in France, an 18-year-old boy suffered an eye injury while looking at a smartphone, which exploded in his hands and damaged his face with small fragments. Apple then said that a spontaneous iPhone explosion was impossible.
In India, 23-year-old Gopal Gujjar died as a result of an explosion of a Nokia 1209 mobile phone - the handset exploded while the young man was having a telephone conversation.
A resident of Thailand said that the iPhone 5 began to spark and smoke right in his hands during a conversation. The man was not injured because he threw his expensive smartphone on the floor in time, after which, according to him, there was a sound similar to the explosion of a firecracker.
In the Chinese province of Guangzhou, a male salesman was killed by an explosion of a mobile phone, the brand of which was not specified. What is known is that the phone exploded a few seconds after a new battery was inserted into it.
In India, 30-year-old Kishori Saha suffered burns when her Nokia mobile phone exploded 10 minutes after the handset was charged. A Nokia representative said at the time that the Nokia battery explosion was “an isolated incident.”
A resident of Texas (USA) received compensation of $75 thousand for an exploded iPod Touch, whose eyes and face were burned.
In China, a 22-year-old young man died from an explosion of the battery of a Motorola mobile phone, which was in his left breast pocket at the time. As a result, the young man's broken rib damaged his heart. According to one version, the battery exploded due to high air temperatures on the day of the incident.
Last year in Grozny, three people were injured when they tried to connect an iPhone to a charger in a cell phone store.
