Mr Palladino said better regulation and quality training was needed, but he feared it would take a death to spark reform. He said it took the hospital death of a baby to improve the regulation of gas fitting in NSW.

"Forty per cent of all house fires are electrical. We have to ask the question is somebody going to die before we do something," he said.

He said NSW training providers received about $13,250 in funding to train an apprentice electrician which was a "very lean price" compared to other states that received about 40 per cent more.

"In Victoria they pay $19,800 to train an electrician. In South Australia they pay $18,000," he said. "We've been very lucky for many years because we've had good TAFE colleges that are doing the best they can with resources that are just decaying."

NSW Skills and Tertiary Education Minister Geoff Lee said more than 45,000 apprentices have started fee-free training since 2018.

Tom Emeleus, general manager for the National Electrical Communications Association (NECA) said some vocational training providers have issued a certificate three for electricians "perhaps without the level of scrutiny that they should have had". He said NSW should follow Victoria and Western Australia which requires an additional independent test to qualify for a licence.

A spokeswoman for NSW Minister for Better Regulation and Innovation Kevin Anderson said electrical installations are "tightly regulated".

"Fair Trading will not hesitate to take sanctions and issue on-the-spot fines of up to $22,000 for any individual or $110,000 for any company who performs unlicensed work," she said.

The department said it has 72 building officers including 24 investigators who check compliance. Three are qualified electricians. There are 69,395 licensed electricians in NSW.

NECA technical adviser Grant Moorhouse said while heavy penalties may apply, there is little regulation of electrical work to enforce penalties for breaches.

"With three electrical inspectors for the whole of NSW, there's not a lot happening. With no checks and balances it is a bit of a lottery," he said.

"Nothing is going to change unless there is a death."

Fair Trading sent a letter to a tradesman on March 1 last year warning he faced fines for being unlicensed but that the regulator "does not propose to take further action at this time".

Justin Page, secretary of the Electrical Trade Union NSW and ACT branch said the response was inadequate.

Everyday people are paying the costs when fake sparkies turn up to work and put their lives at risk. The government is aware of the problem, but so far, ignoring the risks, he said.

In a submission to the upcoming state budget, the union has warned the use of unlicensed contractors is not being adequately regulated and monitored, including on major infrastructure projects. It has provided a NSW parliamentary committee with examples of advertisements for unlicensed contractors.

The ETU has urged the NSW government to eliminate the use of untrained electricians and to follow Victoria's example by introducing an electricity regulator to oversee safety, licensing, and training.

A NSW parliamentary inquiry into the building industry earlier this year recommended the introduction of a building commission empowered to oversee all licensing inspections. It said the commission should "hire additional, specialised inspectors to create a more robust inspection regime" for building, electrical and plumbing work in NSW.

Global Polyimide Films and Tapes Market (2020 to 2025) - Increasing Use in Aerospace Applications Presents Opportunities - GlobeNewswire

Do you have a box of old electrical wires and cables lying in a corner of your house? Youre not alone. Around the globe, human beings throw away around 40 million tons of electrical waste per year.

Electrical construction material, including the types of wires and cables used in your home wiring, make up a huge part of the waste we offload on our planet. But its important to keep electrical wires and cables out of the trash they contain a combination of valuable resources that should be recycled, as well as plastic coatings that are harmful to the environment.

The plastic coating on the wires and cables is commonly made of polyethylene or polyvinyl chloride. If dumped in the trash, these plastics wont just break down harmlessly in the landfill. When exposed to extreme heat and other environmental conditions the plastic coating can release harmful contaminants like lead and dioxins into the environment.

Fortunately, there are many options for old or unused electrical wires and cables that keep them out of the landfills. Here are five ways to extend their usefulness.

You may be able to find buyers for your old electrical wires and cables. There are a large number of technology enthusiasts and inventors who hang on to old gadgets or develop unique new systems for their use. Your old charging cord may be just the type of electrical wire theyre looking for. You could try listing what you have on Craigslist.

Most of the metal recycling centers will accept old wires and cables for the copper inside it. In some cases, they might accept only the metal wire, in which case youd need to remove the plastic covering/insulation first.

You could also sell to electrical liquidators. These are companies that buy old electronic goods to sell to manufacturers or other people who need them. The quantity they accept depends on the company you visit. You cannot go with just one or two cables, but if you have one or more boxes of cables, they might be interested.

One of the best things to do with your old electrical wires and cables is to reuse them with your new gadgets.

A lot of charging cords and cables work with multiple gadgets. While this may not be true for Apple products but often, you can reuse an old cable or plug with a different electronic device. It is a good idea to keep a back-up charging cord for your phone handy. If you dont need it, ask a family member or friend who may need it. You can also try offering your cables for free on Freecycle so someone else can reuse them.

Electrical wires and cables contain valuable materials such as copper and aluminum, which are highly recyclable.

If you cant reuse them or find someone else who will use them, take your old wires and cables to the nearest e-waste recycling facility. Many companies that accept electronics for recycling, such as Best Buy, may also accept cables, wires, and cords. Its always a good idea to call first to confirm what they currently accept.

Universities offering STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) programs may be happy to accept electrical construction materials such as wires and cables for students to use in their laboratories.

Look up STEM programs in your city on the internet to find likely recipients of your donation. This may require a bit of research because not all universities will accept wire and cables. You could also check with local public schools, which may accept computer supplies such as charging cables and connectors for students who need them.

If you have an artistic bent, you might try upcycling your old electrical wires and cables. Check out these creative wire upcycling ideas:

NASHVILLE, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--How does an athletes brain work when split-second decisions make all the difference between winning and losing in game situations?

S2 Cognition, (www.s2cognition.com) a science-meets-tech-meets-sports startup with just a 5-year history, has cracked that code. And the sports world, from the big leagues to the youth leagues, is paying close attention.

Co-founders and cognitive neuroscientists Dr. Brandon Ally and Dr. Scott Wylie, both former college athletes and previously research and clinical colleagues at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, have succeeded in measuring and quantifying the previously unseen characteristics of the brain that separate elite athletes from the rest of the pack.

With 10 Major League Baseball Clubs, four NFL franchises and numerous NCAA and youth league programs under contract, S2 Cognition is charting a solid growth pattern.

Our delivery platform for the evaluation is a specially-designed laptop computer with millisecond precision, Dr. Ally said. In a 30-45 minute test, we are able to learn detailed information about a players visual processing, instinctive read-react, and motor control skills. Its these kinds of cognitive processes that allow a coach to know how a hitter makes split-second decisions about each pitch, or how a quarterback reads and reacts to the defense while executing a precision throw.

After the evaluation, the player and/or his or her coach is given a sport-specific analysis of strengths and potential shortcomings based on the way the players brain is wired to make rapid decisions.

Every athlete brings a unique set of physical skills and cognitive instincts to the game, Dr. Wylie said. We can now measure the cognitive instincts and develop sport-specific training strategies and drills to help athletes be the best decision-makers they can be given their specific brain wiring. Weve learned we can actually move the needle on performance, Dr. Wylie added. The on-field training strategies we have developed are based on the science of how these decision systems work and can help every athlete perform better, even the elite level pro athlete.

S2 Cognition CEO Tom Noland, who has been with the company since its beginning, declined to disclose financial results to date beyond a description of annual revenues in the growth phase. He noted that with a current data base encompassing the brain wiring of over 7,000 athletes across nine sports, including the very highest level of professional talent, the client universe is likely to expand, in both sports and non-sports fields.

Our data base, Noland said, allows any athlete who is tested to see how he or she stacks up against their peers of the same age and experience level, and also how they stack up against the very best. In the long term, we believe our breakthrough scientific approach has the potential to change the future of sports.

The largest numbers of S2 Cognition clients to date are in baseball and football, but the company also has custom, sport-specific programs and S2 evaluation reports for softball, basketball, soccer, hockey, golf, volleyball and lacrosse. For further information on S2 Cognition including a sample S2 Evaluation Report, please see http://www.s2cognition.com.

CHIPPEWA COUNTY (WQOW) As the temperatures drop, well likely all be camping out inside our homes more and more to keep out of the cold. Experts are warning that rodents will try to do the same.

Rodents like mice or rats typically find places to nest in during the winter and can find ways into our homes through cracks in walls, vents or even through doors.

Experts say rodents can be destructive to your home by gnawing at electrical wiring but also destructive to your health if theyre seeking shelter near you.

Rodents are definitely hazardous to humans, said Jason Freels with Wil-Kil Pest Control. Theres a lot of different diseases that theyre associated with through their droppings and their urine. Salmonella is definitely one of them that you hear of, you hear about hantavirus that does infect people.

Freels said the best way to keep rodents out is to seal loose cracks around your home, make sure vents and chimneys are secured with strong wire mesh and if they do get inside snap mouse traps with peanut butter as bait is one of the best ways to catch them.

This Muskegon woman lost two houses to fires in less than a week, she was just waiting on the current resident to leave in order to move into this one.

MUSKEGON HEIGHTS, Mich. Around 4 a.m. on Sunday Oct. 18, a house on the corner of Jiroch and Grand Avenue began to burn, according to fire officials.

The current resident was in the hospital and a nephew that stayed with him was not at home, according to neighbors in the community.

But back in March, Minister Cherrilynn Bell Anderson put a couple of thousand dollars down on a land contract. She was just waiting for the current resident to move out, before she moved in.

As she looked at the houses remains, all she could think about was the house she lost to the same fate last week.

"I put money down on this house, because my other house on Maffet and Delano that I was working on to do a program, called the House of Refuge and Empowerment Center, I was working on that house to do a program for the community but that house burned down last week, on the 9th," Minister Bell said. "Meanwhile while that house is burning, down I'm thinking well at least I planned to get that other house down the street so that I can have somewhere eventually to lay down in. I've been waiting for this man to move out, and he hasn't done that yet, but now I'm out of two houses and I still don't have a house to stay in, but I still have my vision."

Neighbors Vicky Sweeton and John Davis explained to us the scene this morning. Here is their timeline:

Officials have not yet released the home owners name or what caused the blaze. As 13 ON YOUR SIDE learns more, we will provide those updates.

Minister Bell asks that the community pray for both his family and her vision of a community refuge home of empowerment to make it into Muskegon Heights.
