Delivering

[Flash 10 is required to watch video]

The video file is named “20 of 4311” because it show only 20 of 4,311 papers being put together.

This was, like, my second to top gear in how fast I can put papers together, the term is often call “Subbing” a paper together. This gear is mostly when I wanted to try to impress people or when I need to hustle, but I wasn’t in a groove to be in my fastest gear. Every Saturday a small army of people have to Sub different sections of the newspaper to be prepared for following Sunday morning.

My guess is that at least 100,000 papers is prepped for an average Sunday on Saturday. I was not about to get a definite answer on what the actual total number of papers is needed for a Sunday because the boss said she didn’t want to think of all that stress of dealing with the large amount of papers.

So, what you are seeing is not even 0.001% of total amount of work that is usually done to get a Sunday paper to you.

The only editing I did to the video was converting it to an AVI file and rotating image counter-clockwise.

A provocative question with a little moral answer

:A little over an hour ago:

I am waiting in a main office of a school for the right moment test out an idea after just delivering some publications.

Poised, waiting for a break in the conversation between two teachers. Seeing a moment I ask one teach “Excuse me but can I ask you a provocative question with a little moral lesson answer?”

The teacher laughs a little and allows me to ask her my question.

“Let say I blindfolded you and walked you down the hallways. Would you be able to call the students out by the types of Race of the student in the hallways?”

Having been asked a question with the topic of Race in it she is a little apprehensive to answer but she says “No.”

I add to her answer having just set it up “…Then what good is judging people by their looks. Shouldn’t we judge people by their actions and not by their looks?”

The teacher likes this question, not in a sense of this is new knowledge for her but in the new way to package this lesson for others. Before I left the other teacher warns me that she’s going to have to use that question on her students the next chance she gets.

Excellent. Everything is going according to the plan.
