all right so today i wanted to share a very important new law that affects most people and this is a state law and there's a requirement for a carbon monoxide alarm to be installed in all rental properties so if you rent your landlord should be putting one of these in your your apartment or house or duplex it's a new law that was passed in order to protect people from carbon monoxide gas which gas and it's also called the silent killer because you cannot see it or smell its or taste it and it's produced from anything that burns like in your home so it can be from a gas appliance it can be from oil appliance it can be from the fireplace as well as charcoal charcoal grills gas generators they all produce carbon monoxide and  this detector will tell you if there is too much carbon monoxide in your home and so it will sound just like a smoke alarm if it does smell carbon monoxide it will be free times like this and carbon monoxide is especially dangerous for young children and older adults who are more vulnerable who can get more sick from carbon monoxide when we first if you have carbon monoxide first someone might feel dizzy they might start going to very strong headache and they might feel nauseous want to throw up and then after that if there's a lot of carbon monoxide the person will pack and pass out and actually can die from from being poisoned by it said the landlord is responsible for providing one of these and it should be installed in the hallway outside of the bedroom so that at night if there is carbon monoxide in the air this will be a wake you up so that you can get some fresh air if you feel sick then we want you to call nine one one and so that the firefighters can come and they can test for carbon monoxide but it's important to get fresh air as soon as possible to so in two thousand and six there was a bad wind storm many people lost their electricity lost their power and so they wanted to cook their food or stay warm so some people brought charcoal grills or into their home or into the garage to cook and stay warm and some people had a gas generator that they used but it was too close to the house and that produced produce a lot of carbon monoxide and about two hundred fifty people were got very sick how to go to hospital and eight people died during that storm so the important message we want people to know is if the power goes out never take an bring in charcoal or gas grill into the home and if you use that powered gas generator it needs to be away from the house at least thirty feet twenty feet from the house  the other important message is we want to make sure everyone has a working smoke alarm and homes these really do save lives as well this will smell smoke and it will alert you it'll be allowed me to let you know that you have a fire or smoke if you do ever hear this at night really important thing is to to get out as quickly as possible fires grow very fast and a whole room can become completely engulfed in flames and less than two minutes so if you hear this at night we want you to that's important get out get your family out close the door and then call nine one one from up families neighbors house or from outside  open it to change the battery and replace it once a year a good time to remember that is when we change our clocks back every fall that's a good time to change the battery and we do that by putting a new battery in and we test the button we push it we make sure it works am and if we're cooking one important thing when we're cooking if it does beep the best thing to do is just to fan it to clear the smoke and that will stop the alarm but we don't watch people to take the battery out because then it's not it won't work all right so one of the problems that we we often have more of the most common fires is cooking fires and this is cause when we're cooking and then we forget that we're cooking and then a fire will start and that's probably because fires can grow very fast and it can spread to the rest of the kitchen but if a fire is very small if it's very small here the easiest thing to do is to not move it but to if you can grab  your hand cover it with what we had and then turn off the stove and do not move the pan leave it there until has cooled off if the smoke alarm is beeping the best thing to do is just a fan it clear t all right so to conclude we want to make sure that everyone make sure they have smoke alarms carbon monoxide alarms in your home and if you like to contact me to talk more answer questions i can be reset to zero six three six point three record audio how to do audio editing how to conduct interviews and they've spent the time exploring the us or terrorists neighborhood and collecting different kinds of sound and all of the the recordings that they made are going to now go into an exhibition at the frog art museum that will be opening next week actually and we'll have another big party coming up in january that the community is welcome to that will be sent so it's been a really amazing workshop i think we come with a number of things i think the students learned some technical skills but equally importantly is you know they were able to really kind of like  explore the neighborhood and to really learn how to kind of think critically about the city and what about what it means to live in a community so it's a good kind of combination of learning some computer skills learning some media skills but also learning some critical thinking skills so i think it's a really wonderful experience for the students speaking personally it was an amazing experience working with these kids none of whom i'd never met before  just i learned an incredible amount and it was continuously impressed with how hard they worked and just how creative and and smart they were so i think i know i'm feeling really proud of what we've accomplished here and i'm really looking forward to seeing all of their work presented at the friar museum in the coming months well this is so days the last day for this workshop but i think you know i'm really excited about doing more work light this and continuing the relationships we've built with them r t i with her attack and with the fry so i'm hoping that this is not the end of this project but rather will be doing additional workshops and building new collaboration with different people in different organizations over the coming years hi i'm laura and i work at the fry art museum in a part of intangible effects number one here and you're seeing our last day of big celebration and it will be in the museum starting december eighth and we'll have a big celebration community celebration and all are invited on january twelfth and nobody in the afternoon and hopefully message will be there and will care i will cater the event little my name is eleanor angelica's seattle professional as well as a volunteer for ethiopia reads i am delighted to come talk to you today about the beauty and connections that come through media and through collaboration through different organizations that may have different goals and different vehicles but work together to accomplish a common goal one of those is the multimedia resource and training institute that we have here in seattle which allows ethiopian youth to connect through media both from seattle to back in ethiopia one of the things that allowed us to be hugely successful at our first ever fundraiser for ethiopia reads was the support of this training institute to both capture the vent as it unfolded to allow volunteers that couldn't attend or supporters who couldn't attend what the event was all about the beauty of media is it allows people who may not be able to travel or may not have a view into the world accessible to them from where they are to see and to learn and to connect to individuals that may live across the globe that may have a completely different experience than they have i am the mother of a little girl who was born in ethiopia one of the things i wanted to give her was a connection to her home country and a connection to her culture part of the reason i started volunteering is i had read about their organization and i had understood what they were trying to do which was allow children in her home country to have the same access to education and books and dreams that they could have that she would have here in the u s and as i worked with this organization part of the power of media allowed me to meet artists and writers and to learn about the ethiopian you media here in seattle and what they were doing and the power of all the different forms of media that connect us and that allow us to become a truly global community is astounding and it's available to all that this is an area where people come and can share their message and their message because of the beauty of you tube and the internet can be available you know here in seattle in washington d c you know in europe where my for my parents family and my husband family is from and other parts of africa where my daughter calls her birthplace the beauty of media is that it connects us all and allows us to deliver a message and learn from all of us so it's certainly part of my learning process has been using the connections i found supporting them collaborating and there's a wonderful synergy and everyone working together so it encouraged you to think about the media that you can be a part of think about whether or not this is an organization ethiopia youth media that you can support or that you have a message that you want to get out through their vehicle and their medium that they provide free of charge and available to you and i want to thank the founder  say a bunny for all his wonderful support because this is part of why we were able to do what we were able to do in seattle and i think it's through this continued collaboration between many organizations and many individuals that we will find many of the and the lot of resources for young people who are interested in getting involved so they get so i would say to reach out and work for the organizations and i love the rooms that are out there like here that give you a that's a good question we there's a there isn't national documentary being released in february called me for this which is about women that are who have been the makers for the last fifty years and have profoundly changed the way our society operates because if you change the way women are you change everything because their house population so that documentary is coming out and we thought this would be a great opportunity to do something on a local level just to highlight the women who are making it you know an impact on our community and the way that we see that is that you know there's the obvious names of people from linda gates or christine gr public figures but we're also interested in ana you know the people who just into every day make a difference by doing something they feel is for and every step they take this step that makes  is a classroom that is cited a case yes that is grassroots film making friends people in from our region to learn the skills of storytelling that i just talked about and the technical skills and go out and make the stories about what they see  t s they get to use our women go out into the field they get a tour of the studio and get to see something about how public television was on the inside and tell these stories and learn how to edit down in the end those those stories will be week to learn the skills and then students will take you for an hour then shoot the projects and come back and learn how to edit those so mostly it'll be meeting one hour after one evening a week for two months and then a couple of extra days we have some because they're not controlling the media for the most part so so that's one thing that needs to change you know the media should represent all of us and also i think that media can be a positive force in the church of education but it also can be a
