A Hixon-area couple is struggling to get their lives back in order after a fire burned their home to the ground last Saturday evening.

Bruce Brady was sitting in the hot tub when he heard his dog barking long and loud inside the home - a trailer on a rural property about 15 kilometres north of the community. He went to investigate and discovered thick, black smoke.

The home is located outside the Hixon fire protection area but even then, it was doubtful firefighters could have saved it, it went up so quickly, Brady's stepdaughter, Kristin Bonner, said.

"He was thinking it was a chimney fire but it's really hard to tell because there is nothing left," Bonner said.

"He said he went to where the fireplace normally is and he said there were flames in between the floorboards and he tried putting that out with his fire extinguisher but he didn't stop it so he just got what he could and got out."

Brady and his wife Lorraine, who was in Vancouver at the time, are grandparents to 15 children and were hoping to hold a family get-together at their home over Christmas. Now they're living in Prince George with Bonner and her husband.

The home had been insured up until about two years ago when the insurer told them they needed to upgrade the wiring to get their policy renewed. They were in the process of gathering the material they needed when the fire broke out.

Bonner said the Hixon community has been "amazing" supplying the couple with basic items like clothes and shoes. But they a long way to go - a page has been posted on GoFundMe seeking donations and a fundraising event of some kind is being mulled for February.

They are scattered all over the UK. Industrial estates, big and small, often found on the edges of towns and cities, and each of them pretty much alike. They provide space for production and storage. They are practical places, well-lit but tucked away, unromantic and anonymous.

But behind the doors of buildings on two such sites, in Scarborough and Beverley, there is, quite literally, an Aladdins cave of delights: strident colours, eye-boggling costumes and sets, and a round-the-clock hive of twinkling activity. Welcome to the world of pantomime.

These units are home to the biggest panto production company in the world. This is the magical realm that is Qdos productions. Qdos isnt just the panto king, it also one of the largest broad-based entertainment groups in Europe. The pantomime division alone has about three dozen full-time workers, and there are many other employees across the company, which has offices in Covent Garden, but the company is very firmly based on the Yorkshire coast, and owned by husband and wife team of Nick and Sandra Thomas.

A Yorkshire theatre has banned plastic toys from its family Christmas pantomime

The couple met, he reveals with a laugh, in rather unusual circumstances. Nick is a long-standing fan of the late Ken Dodd, and went to see the master comedian when he was headlining a summer season in Scarborough. Sandra was in the cast as one of Doddys Diddymen. I rather think that she was playing Mick the Marmaliser. I fell in love with Kens devotion to show business, his unique take on the world, and his brand of comedy. And I also fell in love with Sandra. That was the golden bonus.

But this isnt the story of a shrewd young businessman sensing a good business opportunity. Nick was already immersed in performance, since he started out entertaining visitors on the seafront with his skills in puppetry. His office today is lined with cabinets full of puppets, marionettes and ventriloquists dolls. Some people dont like clowns, he says pragmatically, and if you dont like puppets, my working space probably isnt the place for you.

This year, Qdos will be presenting more than 70 pantomimes in theatres right across the UK. They own a few of the venues, but have strong links to some of the nations finest theatres including the Bradford Alhambra (where the panto this year is Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, starring Billy Pearce, Faye Tozer and Paul Chuckle) and the New Theatre in Hull, which is doing Aladdin.

It is also returning to the prestigious London Palladium, presenting panto right in the heart of the West End. So successful have its Palladium productions been that it is contracted for four more, with Julian Clary among the stars.

Qdos has something like a 100m yearly turnover, so it is forced to be reckoned with. Walking into its West Yorkshire units, theres a real sense of camaraderie in the air.

Nick who won the TV talent show New Faces back in 1975 knows his pantos backwards, and has an astonishing private (and priceless) collection of theatrical ephemera and memorabilia. Nick and Sandras shows move with the times, but here is one of the most curious things about pantomime. In the 300 years since it was born on the stages of Georgian London, it has changed out of all recognition, and yet at the same time retains its unique spirit of fun.

Shows move in and out of fashion, says Nick. At the moment, Disney titles drive panto along Beauty and the Beast, for example, with dozens of theatres offering that one a couple of years back. Aladdin, of course, and Snow White. Some titles are perennial favourites, with Cinderella being right there at the top of the list. Some have slipped in popularity for some reason, but, for the first time in years, we are offering a Humpty Dumpty next year and, surprisingly, Goldilocks is enjoying a revival, while Robin Hood is coming up, just as The Babes in the Wood (which is essentially the same story) is going down. Robinson Crusoe used to be in the top ten, but not any more.

The modern pantomime is a repository of theatrical styles, forms and conventions, and it has always appropriated elements from every other form of entertainment. What works is retained and adapted, what doesnt is discarded. Thats what makes it survive. It doesnt run for as many weeks as it once did, perhaps.

I can remember one season and it was with the blessed Ken Dodd, that ran so far into the New Year that he was actually tossing Easter Eggs into the audience! he jokes.

The first panto he saw was Cinderella, or Aladdin, at the Bournemouth Pavilion Theatre. What I can remember is that the star was Adam Faith. One of the happiest relationships that this company has is with the Alhambra, and weve been involved there since 1998, he says.

I try to get to see every one of our shows over a Christmas season, but it isnt always possible. However, I will never, ever, miss an Alhambra opening night, because the civic reception is such a joy. Its the best anywhere, no question about it.

Rather further from home, Qdos has expanded overseas there used to be quite a pantomime tradition in some of the cities that were once part of the British Empire. That slowly ebbed and died. But Qdos has revived it in South Africa and Australia, where the panto is alive and positively thriving but in the middle of the year, when it is wintertime over there, and summer over here.

Pictures of the productions are sent to the overseas venues, and they select what theyd like to use. Then a team will come over to Yorkshire to talk through the production and how it will be staged, and what the logistics are for getting A over to B. It is all packed and then it returns, to be counted, checked and, if needed refurbished. Thats on the international scale. Nationally, it is also a meticulous logging of what goes where and what returns. Every costume has to be cleaned and inspected.

The quiet times for the company are in late January and early February, when the pantos are either finished, or just about to close. But then everything explodes back into life again. The subject for the coming season is announced, and the counting begins. A London Palladium show will not fit on to the space at the Hull New, for example, and will have to be adapted. There are always new costumes being made Billy Pearces outfits are handmade every year, and that goes for many of the star names. Their measurements are all recorded, and every detail is kept.

How Yorkshires theatres are beating austerity cuts for the arts

In the Scarborough units colour bursts from the racks and shelves, and there are dresses in all shapes and sizes, Cinderellas ball-gowns dozens of them Captain Hooks brocaded topcoats. Who knows why Qdos has acquired some of Danny la Rues spectacular gowns, but here they are, rather incongruously adjacent to the Little Indian costumes from Peter Pan. The former requiring rather more upkeep and effort than the latter. Around the corner are more than 300,000 pairs of boots and shoes in all sizes and styles.

There is rack upon rack of rich cloth and fabric. And there is something new being added every day. Ask for something specific, and all of the wardrobe ladies (there are only two lads in that department) will know precisely where it is.

In Beverley, long-necked giraffes from a Goldilocks production look down on scenery being painted on the vast floors below. There are magic carpets, minarets and an electrically-powered skateboard alongside all kinds of paraphernalia. We are a huge collaborative effort, says Nick. From the guys who write the scripts, to the electricians wiring up the scenery, to the lovely people sewing on the sequins. We are all just little cogs in a huge wheel. And when I hear the applause at the end of a show I can cheerfully say, Job done.

TORONTO -- Owners of Ford F-series pickup trucks should take extra care to lock their vehicles because it appears theyre a primary target for thieves.

Once again, Ford F250 and F350 trucks from the 2000s topped the Insurance Bureau of Canadas annual ranking of the most stolen vehicles in Canada. In 2019, Ford pickup trucks took up eight of the top 10 spots on the list with the 2007 Ford F-350 claiming the unenviable title of most stolen vehicle for the year.

Its unsurprising news for anyone who has been following the IBCs annual ranking, which is based on insurance claims data collected from nearly all automobile insurance companies in Canada. Ford pickup trucks have consistently dominated the list since it began in 2003.

According to the IBC, Ford pickup trucks are prime targets because they lack ignition immobilizers, which are devices that can prevent thieves from hot-wiring them.

The lack of an ignition immobilizer is the number one reason this series of Ford trucks continues to take up the majority of spots on the list, the association said in a press release Tuesday.

Interestingly, the Ford pickup trucks featured on the list were earlier models from before 2008 when new safety technology was installed in the vehicles.

As some of the most popular vehicles on the road, the prevalence of Ford pickup trucks in Canada, particularly in provinces such as Alberta, also contributed to the high rate of theft.

THE TOP 10 MOST STOLEN VEHICLES IN CANADA IN 2019

With auto thefts costing Canadians close to $1 billion each year, the IBC warns that thieves are becoming more sophisticated and using new technology to bypass security systems and electronically gain access to vehicles.

According to the bureaus findings, technology had a major impact on vehicle thefts in 2019.

Electronic auto theft is on the rise across the country as more vehicles are equipped with technology like keyless entry fobs, said Bryan Gast, the national director of investigative services at IBC.

The IBC said thieves can use wireless transmitters to intercept the signal from keyless entry fobs and open a locked vehicles door.

TIPS TO PREVENT VEHICLE FRAUD

To protect your vehicle, the IBC advises owners to avoid leaving their keyless entry fob in a vehicle or in an unprotected area near the entrance of your home.

If you want to leave your fob near the front door, the IBC said to place it in a protective box or bag that blocks the signal instead of in an exposed bowl or on a hallway table.

Additionally, if your vehicle isnt already equipped with one, consider installing an immobilizing device to prevent thieves from hot-wiring it.

The IBC said Canadians should install a tracking device in their vehicles that can emit a signal to police or a monitoring station if a theft occurs.

A High Point Family was told it was safe to move into their new home, after an inspection by the Housing Authority.

The house caught fire a few days later. High Point Firefighters blamed faulty wiring.

The question is - who is responsible for making sure the home is safe to live in?

This home was inspected three times. Once by a private inspector when it was bought by its current owner, and twice by the Housing Authority.

High Point Fire Marshal Chris Weir said the chances of a home inspector finding something like that are pretty slim.

"This one instance was really kind of a fluke thing with the wires left in contact with combustible materials," Weir said.

He said inspectors usually check things like outlets and breaker panels, and they usually don't go into concealed areas.

Weir said this is a good reminder to always use a certified electrician for any kind of work you want done.

"Sometimes as our homes get older, things get used constantly and just for a peace of mind it won't hurt to have an electrician come in and inspect your home," Weir said.

How Did Three Inspections Miss Exposed Wiring That Led To High Point House Fire? - WFMYNews2.com

I ran a handyman-type business part time for 35 years until health problems caused me to quit. I put an ad in the paper for just one week and was busy until the day I closed it out. It surprised me that I would be so busy but in retrospect I know why.

My customers would pass my name around to their friends and family because I treated them like I wanted to be treated. Apparently this concept has gone the way of black-and-white television and rotary dial telephones. I have now reached the age where I am the one who needs some help.

I sided my house several years ago but a wind storm caused one piece to come loose. I called several people and the first person who showed up nailed it back up with the nail heads showing, and the next windstorm pulled thenails through the siding, leaving holes. So he went on the S list and I tried again.

One man showed up in the back seat of a car driven by a relative. He looked over the job and asked if I had a ladder to get up there. What? You dont have a ladder? He then said he would have to go on the internet to see how to do the repairs I needed. Another entry to the list. Finally I had a man from Lancaster do the job and he did it the right way. The siding hasnt been blown off since.

One day, the automatic garage door opener stopped working. Investigation revealed that the underground wiring I had installed more than 30 years ago had shorted out. Because I had a concrete patio installed right over the in-ground conduit, I decided to call an electrical contractor to install a new underground feed. They dug up my yard, burrowed under the sidewalk and put the new wiring into the back of my garage, instead of the side where I had originally installed it.

Shortly after that, after it had snowed, Donna came into the house and asked if there should be sparking where the old wiring entered the garage wall. I looked out the window and saw that the siding was melted and had black marks on it. I quickly ran to the basement and shut off the circuit breaker before my garage and two vehicles inside burned. If it wasnt for the fact that there was snow piled against the wall, I probably would have lost the building and my cars.

Seeing as they were a licensed electrical contractor, I never inspected the job they had done. I figured they would do it right and to code. Wrong!My investigation revealed the old wiring had never been disconnected and they didnt install the National Electrical Code required disconnect. So I called and read them the riot act including quoting the specific code they violated when wiringmy garage. Then I presented them with two choices: Fix the problems including the burned and melted siding, or be reported. They were out the next day to repair the wiring.

I needed my gutters cleaned. I called several outfits that were recommended on Facebook but only one sent a crew. I would have called them Curly, Larry and Moe but I think Moe was still in prison. They did do what I asked. They cleaned the gutters but left the downspouts plugged tight as a duck's arse. I didnt find this out until the next time it rained and they all overflowed. My list is getting longer.

I wanted my exterior doors replaced. They had been here since 1919 and they wouldnt close in the summer and leaked so bad in the winter that the breeze would blow out a candle. One person showed up, from a large company that advertises on TV. They gave me a price but because my doors were oversize doors, they would only install a standard door, leaving a 4-inch gap at the top for me to deal with. I am running out of paper. Finally I found a person to do what I wanted: Replace two doors and two storm doors. All for the low, low price of $6,000.

I wanted a digital thermostat installed in the master bedroom suite. So again I went to Facebook for suggestions. A man contacted me and we agreed he would come over the next day. When he arrived, he had our new thermostat and his tools in a plastic T-shirt bag.

I had left the bedroom and was sitting in the living room when I heard a zap, saw sparks and all the lights in the bedroom went out. So I got up to see if the contractor was laying on the floor. Four and a half hours later, after several zaps, damns and F bombs and after he reinstalled the old thermostat that was not working now, I told him to go home. He took some of the pieces with him and left a pile of spare parts. My list gets even longer.

It was cold that night and its going to be a cold for a few more nights. We still have no heat.

The couple who bought a Frank Lloyd Wright house in Wilmette this month plan to rehabilitate it extensively over several years, calling the effort just the kind of project they were looking for.

It doesnt scare us, said Amy Bauer, who with her husband, Eric Bauer, bought the five-bedroom house on Lake Avenue from a family that had owned it since 1957. The 4,800-square-foot house, on about six-tenths of an acre, has exterior stucco damage, utilities that are more than half a century old, a somewhat awkward floorplan in the bedroom sectionsand other deficits, but we have a sense of pride that we can be the ones who bring this house back up to where it should be, she said.

The plans includeoverhauling all dated mechanicals, installing a new kitchen in the style of the houseand possibly re-creating a lost mural in the dining room.

I love the way you can tell the time of day from the way the light moves through the house, Amy Bauer said. The original house, builtin 1909 for the family of Frank J. Baker, has a run of diamond-patterned leaded-glass windows spanning roughly 75 feet across the front. The house was expanded around 1919 with a rear addition that Wright also designed.

One of the biggest headaches of installing smart window shades is figuring out how to power the motors. Relying on AC power requires an ugly wall wart and hiding the resulting wires, but relying on battery power is just not environmentally friendly. Now theres an alternative.

Missouri-based PowerShades says its latest smart shades come with a motor that supports Power over ethernet (PoE), a technology that allows for the transmission of both power and data over a single low-voltage ethernet cable.

PoE support is common in such networked devices such as security cameras, network switches, VoIP phones, and wireless access points, but this is the first time weve heard of a PoE-enabled smart shade, and its a clever alternative to snaking bulky Romex electrical wiring through your walls.

The PoE smart shades are compatible with standard CAT5e and CAT6 ethernet cables. You can connect the shades to an ethernet switch with PoE-enabled LAN ports, or you could use a separate PoE injector to add power to your ethernet cabling if youre using a non-PoE switch.

PowerShades new line of PoE-enabled smart shades are compatible with standard Cat 5 and Cat 6 ethernet cables.

The PoE-equipped motors that comes with the new shades features a low-voltage design (less than 50V, PowerShades says), which means they can be installed without the help of an electrician.

Like PowerShades other smart shades, the new PoE shades are compatible with Amazon Alexa, Google Home, Samsung SmartThings, Creston, ELAN, Control4, RTI, and other smart home systems.

The shades, which are available in roller, pleated, horizontal, and honeycomb styles (among others), can be grouped together, allowing you to control all the shades in a room at once.

You can also create schedules and scenes that automatically open and close the shades depending on the time of day. Other features include soft start and stop and a favorite position setting.

It starts with a mysterious scraping inside the wall. A clatter in the attic. The strange rattle of tiny feet.

These are the sounds of a squirrel infestation.

With temperatures dropping in Alberta,the rodents will try to takerefuge in homes returning to stockpiles of nuts and seeds they've foraged over the summer.

Chewing their way through vents, pipes, shingles, and siding, they seek shelter in attics, making nests they will use as havens for litters of babies in the spring.

"It's usually one of two things, they're nesting up there ... or they're just storing food for winter,"said Joe Woodcock,owner of Northern Pest Control Edmonton.

"As soon as they don't want to be heard, they can be quite quiet so you can go years and years without hearing them or ignoring them and then you can end up with a big problem."

"Squirrel invasions" are extremely common in the city, said Woodcock, who has been in the pest control business in Edmonton for 12 years.

"Every month is squirrel season in Edmonton," Woodcock said in an interview with CBC Radio's Edmonton AM.

"They don't care about anything, not even Christmas."

If you suspect that you have a nest, act fast as the tiny critters can do a lot of damage in a short period of time, Woodcock said. Using their formidable teeth, they will chomp through electrical wiring, insulation, wooden furniture and beams.

In the worst case Woodcock has seen, squirrels levelled an entire building.

"Someone had an old car that they had saved for years in the garage and the squirrels were upstairs and eventually the garage actually collapsed on the car," he said.

"And even though the car wasn't worth anything, it was horrible for the old guy who owned it and thought he was going to restore it one day."

When blockingoff any squirrel entrance holes in your roof and attic, rely on a professional. Leaving a squirreltrapped inside the walls of your house is a "worst case scenario," Woodcock said.

A trapped squirrel is unlikely to perish from starvation.

"The second to last thing you want is a squirrel trapped inside your house, because they will get out. They'll gnaw right through into your kitchen."

"It's one of those, don't-do-it-yourself type things."

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Electric Drive Train Systems Technology Evolution and Global Market Potential in Commercial Vehicles, Forecast to 2030" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

Electrification in Commercial Vehicles (CV) will increase globally with the framing of strict emission regulations. The growing electric CV market will open up opportunities for new technologies and components that drive the vehicle.

This study provides an overview of the key technology trends in the electric drive train component market and also provides the component market revenue forecast between 2018 and 2030. Several architectures and types of drive train components in electric CV are studied in brief.

This research predicts that the electric drive train market for CV will reach $44.72 billion in revenue in 2030 globally, growing at a CAGR of 17.7% between 2018 and 2030. This research study covers battery, motors, inverters, and wiring harness used in electric CVs.

China will clearly dominate, with approximately 64.8% share of the global market by 2030, driven mainly by aggressive incentive structures for electric vehicles, technology readiness, and the installation of recharging stations in large scale. Europe and North America are expected to be the next largest markets after China, with more number of product line-ups planned by native manufacturers.

Batteries will be the largest segment by value, with revenue crossing $40.82 billion by 2030. With the increasing demand for batteries, the price is expected to fall to below $100 per KWh by 2030 and the lower battery cost will make the trucks commercially viable for fleets. CVs will largely adopt the Nickel Manganese Cobalt (NMC) battery chemistry due to high discharge capacities and optimal pricing.

Mostly, light-duty trucks follow central motor architecture and medium- and heavy-duty trucks follow the wheel hub architecture, that will adopt in-wheel architecture in the future. Permanent magnet motors will be widely used in small GVWR segments and induction motors will be preferred in large GVWR segments. Switched reluctance motors will gain popularity after 2025. The xEV motor market's revenue is estimated to be $2.46 billion in 2030, with China leading the market.

Power electronics is another large segment in the EV component market. Silicon Carbide (SiC) and Gallium Nitride (GaN) semiconductors will be preferred over silicon semiconductors for improved performance and packaging benefits in designing inverters. The inverter market is estimated to grow to $1.32 billion in 2030 from $0.28 billion in 2018.

Single and multicore wire harness made from aluminium or copper alloys with high-end fluoro rubber insulation will be the key technologies to address high-voltage safety and durability at higher voltages. OEMs are looking for new wiring harness technologies that help in weight reduction. The author forecasts the wiring harness market to be $130 million in 2030.

Along with technology acquisition, intense competition is foreseen among component manufacturers to adopt technologies and gain market share. With the increasing potential, OEMs will soon start manufacturing the components in-house, rather than sourcing from Tier-1 manufacturers. With a growing demand for electric trucks and buses, the component industries in Europe and China are expanding their production goals and investment strategies, as the market value is expected to be more than $44.72 billion by 2030.
