A/V Geeks 16mm Lunch 12-12-2025

Hello everybody. I'm Skip Alzheimer. Welcome to the AV Geeks Lunchtime streaming show where we watch old 16 millimeter films. And that one was uh three potters throwing clay pottery. Um and that last one was huge. Uh I very much like the comments. [laughter] Um, I guess ghost has sexualized uh throwing pottery. Uh, so that was expected. Um, but uh yeah, that uh was it Brian that said basically talked about like here's all this dramatic but also very meditative action and then it gets clay it gets fired and then it just sits there. So [laughter] yeah, that uh is pretty great. Um, so I am wearing uh a new shirt that was given to me. It came in the mail and it is the clown Thanksgiving painting and it's made by Charles. Uh, and Charles m originally made this shirt for Joe Picket of Found footage festival and he made it before we had the whole clown Thanksgiving live event. Um, and before we I actually gave him the painting. And so when I saw it on his show, Joe Picket's show, I verbally screamed at the TV uh WTF. Like I was like, how how did that happen? Like so uh Charles uh made this for me and so I wear it proudly even though it's not Thanksgiving and there's no clowns around. Uh all right, so we got some stuff. Uh, right now the scanner is I don't know. It's not digitizing. So, there's some sort I think there's something going on with that that I have to figure out. But, in the meantime, I think I can still show you stuff. This film is uh didn't have a can. And there's no title that I found. It might be later in the film, but uh we're just going to call it Fire in the Hospital. Enjoy. myself. I just wish I had known how to lift them. It happened so fast. It couldn't have been more than a minute and the whole place was in flames. >> When the fire started, they called down here to maintenance for help. But when I'm here by myself, I'm not supposed to leave the boiler room. >> I went to call for help, to call in an alarm. But at first I couldn't find the directory and by the time I notified maintenance and everyone else and got back to the room, it was all in flames. >> This is a fairly new building, concrete and steel. We thought we were prepared. We never really thought a fire could do much damage. >> Our nursing home is so understaffed normally. We just weren't prepared to handle anything like that. We have what we consider an excellent fire emergency plan, but we lost two people in that fire anyway. Healthc care facilities are subject to fires of all kinds in many different areas. Boiler rooms, maintenance shops, kitchens, laboratories, and supply areas. But the fires that potentially are the most tragic are those that occur in patient care areas. And while most hospital and nursing homes have comprehensive fire plans designed to cope with these emergencies, they may fall short of complete success, usually for two simple reasons. First, the plans do not stress the importance of the crucial first few moments after discovery of the fire. And second, then based on the proven fact that the individual most likely to discover a fire involving a patient is not the chief engineer, the security officer or the administrator, but the nurse on the floor and personnel who function in the patient care area. Any effective plan must be designed for implementation by these individuals in the first few moments of the fire. >> [music] [music] >> There is no way to teach personnel exactly how to react since each fire emergency situation is different. But an attempt can be made to show how to make effective decisions when confronted with a patient area fire by presenting some guidelines for handling both fire and patient in the first crucial moments. You will be presented with various fire situations. Then you will be given time to decide what you would do in the given situation. Finally, you will be shown the desirable course of action given the facts presented. Night is an unfortunate time for a fire emergency. Because of reduced staff, the individual may not have immediate backup support and may be forced to rely solely on her own judgment and ability. This nurse has been confronted with a waste basket fire at night in a patient's room. Please turn off the projector and decide what you would do in her place. One choice of action might involve picking up the waste basket to remove it from the patient area into the bathroom or some other safe place. But this is a dangerous choice. The waste can is hot and if it is dropped, the fire will spread and the nurse herself could receive a burn incapacitating her from further usefulness. Moving the waste basket then is not a good plan. A better approach is to use some object in the room to extinguish the fire. A folded blanket is a good choice since it's both safe and effective. Using the blanket as a shield to protect herself from heat. The nurse moves in and covers the waist basket with the blanket, pushing the flames away from her as she does. She does not throw the blanket. Once she has covered the fire, she leaves it covered so it will not start again and proceeds to assist the patient from the room. Using available materials is probably the best approach for dealing with fire emergencies because it takes the least amount of time. Many materials commonly found in the hospital room will do the job. They must, however, cover the fire area and contain the smoke. A blanket or sheet towel, a coat or robe, a pillow or chair cushion, or even the water from the pitcher might be used. Even with small, easily contained fires like the simple waste basket blaze, fire officials should be notified so they can make sure it is out, investigate its cause, and make recommendations concerning the incident. The basic idea in confronting a fire emergency is to improvise and use whatever is available. Bed fires are even more frightening. Stop the projector and decide what you would do if confronted with this situation. This fire involves the patient directly, so the nurse must deal with it instantaneously by grabbing the blanket, using it as a shield, and keeping her eyes on the fire at all times, pushing the fire away from herself and away from the patient's face. If the nurse had simply pulled the blanket up from the foot of the bed, she would have pushed the flames into the patient's face. Once the fire is smothered, the patient can be moved from the room, being careful not to disturb the bed covers. But this is not the end of the nurse's responsibilities in this situation. The nurse should also see that the mattress is removed from the patient's room right after the incident and placed outside for at least 24 hours. Any fire involving a mattress presents a more complex problem. Materials burning in a waste basket or on top of a mattress represent a surface fire. But should the fire penetrate the outer covering of the mattress, the fire is no longer surfaced and will not be completely extinguished with normal surface methods. It can smolder traveling back and forth along air pockets inside the mattress and sometime later when conditions are right burst into flame. Should a patient be put back in bed with the same mattress after a fire incident, he may become a fire victim again minutes later or hours later after the incident is forgotten. Unfortunately for those who have to deal with them, fire emergencies are often very complex. They can involve more than one object in a room and they can reach considerable size in a short period of time. Please stop the projector and decide how you would proceed if this were your responsibility with this fire. Attempts to put it out may prove unsuccessful, but they can be made anyway to contain the blaze or to gain time. The patient must then be removed from immediate danger since he might succumb to smoke if the nurse had decided to go for help first. During the removal, the nurse should be sure the door is closed after leaving the room with the patient. Once the patient is safe, the next step is to deal with the fire and the first action is turning in an alarm. Once others are alerted, the nurse can be assured of additional help. When the nurse returns to the fire emergency, she should first feel the door to make sure it is safe to enter the room again. If the door feels hot, she should leave it closed. Place towels at the base of the door and wait for professional help to arrive. or if she were to open it, a blast of intense heat and smoke could be fatal and allow the fire to escape from the room where the door can find it to the corridor and adjacent rooms. But if the door is not warm, the nurse should open it cautiously and enter the room if it appears safe to do so. Extinguishers may be carried or dragged if heavy, whichever saves time. All hospital personnel should be familiar with the operating instructions of the fire extinguishers used in their facility before they are forced to use them. Extinguisher should be directed at the edge of the fire and worked toward the middle. The operator should never turn her back on the fire while using the extinguisher. If she must move, she should back off. Once the fire is controlled, the patients injuries can be attended to more thoroughly. Factors which can complicate a fire emergency are many. They can be physical or medical. Examples of physical factors that can result in a more complex situation include the presence of more than one patient in a room or other physical objects that can hinder the rescue and perhaps drafts from windows. And of course, once the fire has started, another physical factor, smoke with toxic gases, will complicate matters by rapidly obscuring vision and affecting the respiration of the patient and the rescuer. Nurses and other professionals are quick to think of the consequences of medical complications in an emergency. Examples include intravenous therapy, oxygen respirators, and other support systems, urinary drainage hookups, traction and restraint devices, and many other kinds of medical equipment involved in the patients medical treatment. The patient himself can be the focus of the problem. He may have undergone recent surgery or for a variety of reasons or conditions, he may be unable to cooperate. While the rescuer, because of her healthc care training, may be reluctant to tamper with medical instrumentation, she must remember that although she should use her professional judgment in this situation, as in any other, in a fire emergency, medical conditions must become secondary to the immediate life-threateners, smoke and fire. What damage is done may be treated comprehensively after the patient is removed from danger. The nurse has a definite and critical role in first aid firefighting in the patient care area. Unless the fire is a small one, her first action is removing the patient from an immediate life-threatening situation. Her second action involves communication. She must turn in the alarm to obtain help. Her third action is firefighting, but she must remember that her job encompasses first aid firefighting only. When it is necessary to transport patients from imminent danger, they need not be carried great distances. 20 ft may be all that is necessary. This stage is generally known as emergency removal. If the fire emergency dictates, the next step is removal to a staging area, which entails the transport of patients to a safety zone or holding area, perhaps at the end of a corridor, removed from the fire scene by fire doors where they can be safely grouped under the supervision of another nurse. The final stage, evacuation, the transportation of patients from the staging area to an area outside the building, is always a last resort. The fire plan should include arrangements to take evacuated patients to a place that affords shelter and supervision with quick and decisive action by floor personnel in the first minutes after discovery of the fire. This step may never be necessary. Usually it is the nurse or some other patient care professional, the nurse's aid, the orderly, the housekeeping staff member who by circumstance will be shouldered with the initial responsibility for the fire emergency. And that is why these personnel must understand the nature of the fire emergency and the need for effective decisionmaking and prompt action. [music] That was epic. Epic time. Uh, lots of uh drama drama. All right. So, what else do I got here? I've got some I pulled some more films. Let's see. Uh, yeah. All right. Show this one. I was going to show this one before, but All right. This one is uh a religious film about the population explosion and is it's just weird. Enjoy. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. >> [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] >> Hi, I'm Bob Curts. I'm a Christian. I know the Lord is my savior. I really want to make my life count. But the problems we face in our world are staggering. During the next 20 minutes, you will frequently be given a quick glimpse of this card, showing you how many people have been born during the time we spend together. Already, for example, 405 more people have joined us since this film began. India now has 540 million people. China 740 million. The projected population of Asia by the year 2000 is 3 and a half billion which is equivalent to the total population of the world right now. How in the world are we going to feed this many people? The statistics are terrifying. Let me try to personalize them for you the way that I've tried to do it for myself. Steve, [music] >> let us pray. >> Thank you, Lord Jesus, for the good food mommy fixes. Please help the boys and girls to find food. Please help their mommies to find food [clears throat] to fix for them tonight. Help them all to love you and serve you. Amen. >> You and I live in a land of plenty. Even a poor man in this country would be considered rich in many parts of Asia, Africa, or Latin America. Let's suppose, for example, my wife and I lived in an overpopulated land where starvation was already a way of life. What would it be like? We would be grateful for a few slices of bread and maybe a bowl of watery soup for each of us. We read a lot of newspaper stories about critical problems in our educational systems. But suppose my children, suppose yours lived in central Africa or Indonesia or Korea or Paraguay where only a small percent of even the best qualified children could attend school. Before the Nigerian civil war, BAFA made excellent progress as an emerging African nation. Yet even there, only one out of every 50 qualified students could get into primary school. The Bible says, "To whom much is given, much shall be required." I wonder if we really understand what that means. [music] [music] a little startling perhaps. What about that scripture verse? To whom much is given, much shall be required. Down in our research room, they tell me that every 3 days almost a million new people are added to the world. You heard me correctly. Every 3 days, almost a million babies are born. And here we are, you and I, the richest Christians in the history of the world, in danger of drowning in a vast sea of materialism instead of being concerned about helping these multitudes. To whom much is given, much shall be required. That's you and me, friend. And nearly a million new babies born every three days. That's our world. The world into which the Lord has sent us to tell every person about his son. If you're a normal human being, then you should be concerned about the scarcity of food, housing, medicine, and education in other lands. But what about the most critical shortage of all? The Bible tells us of a day when there shall be a famine. Not of bread, but a famine for the word of God. The problem today is that there are millions of hungry-hearted people who don't even know that God has a message for them because no one has told them. How many Bibles are there at your house? How many Christian books, magazines? Let's say this stack represents the number of Bibles there are in the little community outside Chicago where I live. How many might there be in a similar size town in Europe? Suppose it were a similar area in Latin America, in Africa, in Japan where the gospel has been told for more than 100 years. How about Eastern Europe? Pakistan, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, or Saudi Arabia, where it can mean death to be caught reading a Bible. To whom much is given, much shall be required. I don't know about you, but those words haunt me. I've got a good job here with CBS and a promising future in television. God has given me some talents for which I'm grateful. But I'm a Christian. I can't settle back and take life easy. I don't dare. I wonder if you'd bow your head with me for just a moment. My father, our father, help me and my friends who are now sharing this experience. Help us to open our hearts, our minds to dare to believe that we can do something about the awesome need of our world today. Help us to see that we who have so much have a definite responsibility to those who have so little. We ask this in the name of thy dear son. Amen. Remember what I said? Every three days a million new people are added to the world. Do you know what this means? It means that you and I have the greatest opportunity for evangelization in the history of the church of Jesus Christ. The greatest opportunity and the greatest responsibility. We have the potential in our lifetime to bring the message of salvation to every person alive in the world today. But will we do it? Now, you have probably seen a lot of slides and motion pictures brought back from the fields by missionaries. If you're like me, you've probably been guilty of viewing these with various stages of indifference. But as we look now at a few clips from overseas, ask God to show you how you can become a participant in the biggest job the church has ever faced. >> [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] >> We certainly should thank God for what so many of our missionaries have accomplished. Often against difficult, almost insurmountable odds, they have won many victories for the glory [music] of God. But teachers in crowded rooftop schools, [music] overworked nurses, and tired evangelists haven't even begun to scratch the surface. If we haven't kept the pace before now, how can we hope to reach the coming multitudes? [music] >> [music] >> What of the world of children who still need to hear about the Lord Jesus? [music] How will we ever get the message to them? Half the people in the world today are under 21 years of age. Where are the Christian young people who will go and share their faith with others their own age? And what about the businessman in Japan? Or the housewife in the market in Bolivia or the apartment dweller in [music] Brazil or the factory worker in India? How will they ever hear? [music] The world's cities are crowded with people. Everywhere there is a neverending stream. People [music] like you and me. And God is not willing that any of them should perish. So what should I do? Resign from my job here at the television station. Head for the Orient or Africa or South America? Get out my checkbook? That'd be a lot easier. and send a few dollars to my favorite missionary. Shall I be satisfied with what my wife and I are trying to do in our community to witness to young couples and then sit back in complacent self-satisfaction? I have here with me several persons, each of them involved in the concern of the church overseas. I've asked them to share with us their concern about the population explosion and our responsibility. Gentlemen, >> each of us has to do the thing that the Lord shows us that we are to do personally. It may be that God will call you out of your profession completely. Or it may be that he may call you to go overseas and perhaps teach in a university in the field of the arts and television. On the other hand, he may call you to stay here at home and give your full support to those who are attempting to meet the need in this tremendous population explosion. The main thing is that each of us do what God wants us to do. And that means getting all the information we can first so that we can make intelligent judgments. And it involves opening ourselves spiritually without reservation to do whatever the Lord wants us to do. >> Having served as a missionary in Latin America for 15 years, I'm sensitive to the problem of population control since it is one of the major issues being faced by that part of the world. In dealing with young people and students in North America and elsewhere, it seems to me that we must bring out to them the possibility that in the overseas mission of the church, they may well have to become involved in the social implications of the educational process related to population control as well as in the direct evangelistic extension of the church to the population. Our world population explosion faces the church of Jesus Christ with a very serious crisis. It is not the crisis of closed doors. It is the crisis of open doors, of opportunities, of responsibilities. For example, in Africa today, there are thousands of grade schools and high schools in which we could and should be teaching the word of God every week. With the exception of China, uh, Asia's two billion people are wide open to the distribution of the word of God. Bible sales in Latin America are greater than ever before. This is mission's greatest hour. >> Thank you, gentlemen. I, for one, I'm grateful for the leadership we have in the church today. But be careful, my friend. These men would be the first to agree with me that our biggest danger is to expect our missionaries to face and solve all the problems alone. Until you and I, until every member of the body of Christ join in this common task, until some of us go and reach these multitudes, there will be millions who will never hear and will be lost for all eternity. Just how great is your concern? Not the person sitting next to you, but you. How great is your concern for a world which is producing almost a million new people every 3 days. Souls for whom Christ hung on a cross. Souls for whom God gave his word to man. How much do you care? Be honest now. How much? Let me share with you a burden that has become like wind and fire in my heart. I told you I'm in television. It's a fascinating world. Television. It depends on people with creativity and initiative. A television program succeeds or fails on the basis of ideas and the implementation of ideas. Creativity and initiative. Tie those two words to the Bible quotation. To whom much is given, much shall be required. Ask God to make them come alive in your mind right now. the population explosion, the enormous task, the almost insurmountable job the church faces of making even the slightest dent in the evangelization of the world. Hear me carefully now. The church will never begin to meet that need. Never, my Christian friend, until you and I, until every member of the body of Christ begins to cry out to God, give us ideas, oh Lord. Make us creative. Use our minds and our energies. pull our efforts in a determined thrust to make Christ known across the world. Our missionaries are doing all they can. But like us, they are men. Let more of us join them. Let's back them with our prayers, our concern. Write to them. Tell them you pray for them. Let's urge more believers to become foreign missionaries. Let's give our money to the church's total cause of world evangelism. In a world of hatred, confusion, dilemma, and staggering population increases, let's be true witnesses to the love of Jesus Christ. [music] [music] Heat. [music] [bell] [music] [bell] Heat.
