The most startling visual effect in Marvel’s “Captain America: The First Avenger” isn’t any bit of superhero derring-do but rather the sight of star Chris Evans shrunk down to a proverbial 97-pound weakling.

In “Captain America,” scrawny World War II recruit Steve Rogers is transformed by a “super-soldier” serum and “Vita-rays” into a tall, muscular stud with enhanced physical abilities.

Popular as the effect is, there’s been plenty of confusion about how it was done. Some have assumed it was a “Benjamin Button” style head replacement on a skinny body double. Others thought it was forced perspective and careful camera placement, a technique Peter Jackson used to make actors appear Hobbit-sized in “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy.

In fact, it was a combination of digital effects techniques — and the one used most represents a step forward for the vfx art.

Lola Visual Effects, the Santa Monica-based studio that specializes in digital cosmetic enhancement, did Evans’ slenderizing. Lola vfx supervisor Edson Williams says the company’s f/x techs used three separate techniques.

For about 5% of the shots, he says, Evans’ face was digitally attached to a body double, Leander Deeny, using the same method developed for “The Social Network” to put Armie Hammer’s face on a double. For another 10% or so, Evans’ head was attached to Deeny’s body, “Benjamin Button” style.

But the vast majority of shots, according to Williams, were done by digitally shrinking Evans’ own face and body. “That was mandated by the director and the studio, because they wanted Evans’ performance,” Williams says.

Evans, too, resisted the use of a body double except where absolutely necessary. So the Lola team had to invent a method for shrinking him down. They nicknamed the approach, “Steve slimming.”

On the set, the camera team captured each shot three times: Once with Evans doing the performance, once with Deeny doing his best to match Evans’ performance, and once “clean” — without the character of Steve Rogers in the shot at all.

Without motion control rigs, the different versions of the shot didn’t match perfectly. That sped up shooting and saved money in production, but made Lola’s work somewhat more expensive and difficult.

“In post, we’d decide (which of the three styles) was the best technique,” Williams says. “If it was at all possible, we did the ‘Steve slimming.’?” That entailed starting from the original shot of Evans doing the role, then shrinking him down.

One unexpected problem: Evans’ bulked-up arms were simply so big — “like tree trunks” says Williams — that in profile they’d block as much as a one third of his body.

“So we had to replace the fabric and the shirt and whatever was behind his arm with something,” says Williams. “That was by far the most challenging part.”

The Lola team also altered Evans’ face for those “skinny” scenes, shrinking his jawline. “It’s a tricky thing to do,” says Williams, “because if you start adjusting (face) geometry incorrectly, you’ll start getting feminine traits. Like the corner of the eyes: Do they go up or down? If they go down, it’s more masculine. If they go up, it’s more feminine.” Adjusting the shape of the face also could subtly change Evans’ performance, and it took many watchful eyes to ensure that his expressions translated properly.

Even when Evans’ digitally altered face was attached to Deeny’s body, the slimming process was involved, Williams says. “They cast this incredibly skinny guy to be skinny Steve Rogers, then decided to make him even skinnier. On the head replacements, we had to slim down the slim body.”

Lesson: Digital Effects in Movies

Introduction:
Digital effects are used in movies to create visual effects that cannot be achieved in real life. They are used to enhance the storyline and make the movie more interesting. In this lesson, we will learn about the different types of digital effects used in movies and how they are created.

Section 1: Types of Digital Effects
There are several types of digital effects used in movies, including:

1. CGI (Computer-Generated Imagery): This type of effect is created using computer software to generate images that do not exist in real life. For example, creating a digital character or animating a scene that is too dangerous or expensive to film in real life.

2. Motion Capture: This type of effect involves recording an actor's movements and using that data to animate a digital character. This is often used to create realistic movements for characters in video games or animated movies.

3. Green Screen: This effect involves filming an actor in front of a green screen and then adding a background later using digital effects. This is often used to create the illusion of being in a different location or environment.

4. Compositing: This type of effect involves combining multiple images or videos to create a final image. For example, combining a live-action scene with a digital background.

Section 2: Creating Digital Effects
Creating digital effects involves a team of skilled professionals who work together to create the final product. Here are some steps involved in creating digital effects:

1. Pre-production: This stage involves planning and designing the effects that will be used in the movie. This includes creating storyboards and determining what types of effects will be needed.

2. Filming: During the filming process, actors and sets are filmed in front of a green screen or other specialized equipment that allows for the addition of digital effects later.

3. Post-production: In this stage, the digital effects team uses specialized software to create the desired effects. This can involve creating digital characters, animating scenes, or adding backgrounds to live-action footage.

4. Finalization: Once the digital effects are complete, they are added to the movie and finalized. This involves adjusting the color, lighting, and other aspects of the effects to ensure they look seamless and realistic.

Section 3: Examples and Applications
Digital effects have become an essential part of modern movies, and they are used in a variety of ways to enhance the storyline and create visually stunning scenes. Here are some examples of how digital effects have been used in movies:

1. "Avengers: Endgame": In this movie, digital effects were used to create the final battle scene between the Avengers and Thanos' army. The effects team used a combination of CGI and motion capture to create realistic movements for the digital characters.

2. "The Lion King": In this movie, digital effects were used to create a photorealistic environment for the animals to live in. The team used advanced rendering techniques to create realistic fur and other textures on the animals.

Conclusion:
Digital effects have come a long way since their introduction in movies, and they continue to push the boundaries of what is possible in storytelling. By understanding the different types of digital effects and how they are created, we can appreciate the hard work and skill that goes into creating these visually stunning scenes.

IT’S been a long season for East Jackson, but two Eagles provided highlight-reel worthy performances in the team’s ninth loss of the year.

Wide out Casey Reed hauled in a school-record 227 yards receiving Friday while quarterback Austin Beauchamp threw for a school-record 301 yards and ran for 90 in East Jackson’s 41-21 setback at Franklin County.

Reed’s 227-yard night included 11 receptions and one touchdown.

East Jackson's Casey Reed set a new school record with 227 yards receiving against Franklin County.

“Two-hundred, twenty-seven yards in a high school football game is pretty doggone amazing,” East Jackson coach Brian Smith said.

This is Reed’s first year of football and the junior has made an impact, leading the team with 524 yards receiving and five touchdowns.

“Casey has worked hard and developed and has had to do a lot of things for a kid that didn’t play last year,” Smith said. “We’re thankful to have him. He’s a big target that runs well. We need to continue to try to find ways to get him the ball.”

Franklin County was “giving Casey the fade” in the first half, Smith said, so the Eagles went to him early.

Reed drew double coverage in the second half but still managed to get open.

He threw touchdown passes to Reed and Patrick Chastain, who filled in for an ill Austin Lumpkin.

Beauchamp added 90 more yards on the ground and a touchdown to finish with 391 total yards. The junior quarterback had a similar night Aug. 31 against Banks County when he totaled 396 yards and accounted for four touchdowns.

“That’s a big night,” Smith said. “I don’t care what league you’re playing in and who you’re playing for or against. It’s hard to do that.”

Beauchamp was able to spread the ball around on the evening, involving several receivers in the offense.

“We haven’t been able to spread the ball around as much as we did early (in the season),” Smith said.

And that’s a positive the coach is taking from the loss.

“We felt like we showed that hard work paid off a little bit — not that it was great, not that it was perfect, but it was a situation where some things that we had been working on and continuing to work on clicked,” Smith said.

Moving the ball wasn’t a problem Friday. Hanging on to it was.

The Eagles turned the ball over five times, with four of those coming via interception. East Jackson also had one fumble.

The team had two turnovers in the red zone and a missed field goal, which added to the frustration.

“We really feel like we kind of gave a little bit away there and put ourselves in a bad situation,” Smith said. “But our kids fought hard. I was proud of the way they played. I thought we did some positive things.”

Defensively, East Jackson had problems with missed tackles.

“We turned the ball over in the red zone a few of times an tackled poorly,” Smith said. “That’s how the game sums up.”

Still, Smith said he was proud of how his team responded after lopsided losses to Jackson County, Hart County and North Oconee.

“You kind of worry that your team after playing Jackson, Hart, North Oconee, one of the fears is how are they going to respond?” Smith said. “I thought we came out and played hard.”

# Lesson: How to Read and Understand Football Stats

### Introduction
In this lesson, we will learn how to read and understand football stats. We will cover the basic concepts and terminology used in football statistics and apply them to a real-world scenario.

### Section 1: Basic Concepts and Terminology

**Terminology:**
- **Yards:** The number of yards a player gains per carry or reception.
- **Touchdowns:** A score worth six points when a player carries the ball across the goal line or catches a pass in the end zone.
- **Passing Yards:** The number of yards a quarterback throws the ball.
- **Rushing Yards:** The number of yards a player gains by carrying the ball.
- **Receiving Yards:** The number of yards a player gains by catching a pass.
- **Total Yards:** The sum of rushing and passing yards.

**Concepts:**
- **Offense:** The team with the ball, trying to score points.
- **Defense:** The team without the ball, trying to prevent the other team from scoring.
- **Points:** A unit used to measure the success of an offense.
- **Turnovers:** When a team loses possession of the ball due to an interception or fumble.

### Section 2: Real-World Scenario

Let's take the example of a football game between the East Jackson Eagles and the Franklin County Lions. In this game, East Jackson's wide receiver Casey Reed had a record-breaking performance with 227 yards receiving and one touchdown.

**Questions:**
1. What does "227 yards receiving" mean?
2. How many receptions did Casey Reed have?
3. What is the school record for receiving yards in a game?
4. Did Casey Reed score any other touchdowns?

**Answers:**
1. "227 yards receiving" means that Casey Reed gained 227 yards for the East Jackson team by catching passes during the game.
2. Casey Reed had 11 receptions.
3. The school record for receiving yards in a game is 227 yards, which Casey Reed set in this game.
4. Casey Reed had one touchdown in this game.

### Section 3: Practical Examples and Real-World Applications

**Example 1:** Let's say that in another game, a running back had 150 rushing yards and one touchdown. We can calculate his total yards by adding his rushing yards to his receiving yards (if any). If he had no receiving yards, his total yards would still be 150.

**Example 2:** If a quarterback has a passer rating of 100, it means that he completed 60% of his passes for an average of 10 yards per completion. This is considered a good passer rating.

**Real-World Application:** Football statistics can be used to analyze a team's performance and make strategic decisions. For example, if a team has a high turnover rate, they may need to focus on improving their ball security.

### Glossary
- **Yards:** The number of yards a player gains per carry or reception.
- **Touchdowns:** A score worth six points when a player carries the ball across the goal line or catches a pass in the end zone.
- **Passing Yards:** The number of yards a quarterback throws the ball.
- **Rushing Yards:** The number of yards a player gains by carrying the ball.
- **Receiving Yards:** The number of yards a player gains by catching a pass.
- **Total Yards:** The sum of rushing and passing yards.

### Conclusion
In this lesson, we learned how to read and understand football stats. We covered basic concepts and terminology and applied them to a real-world scenario. We also explored practical examples and real-world applications of football statistics. By understanding these concepts, we can better analyze a team's performance and make informed decisions about strategy and gameplay.

This presents an opportunity for businesses to reach their customers where they are – on their mobile devices. By creating mobile apps, businesses can provide their customers with a convenient way to access their products or services, which can lead to increased engagement and sales.

Section 2: Steps Involved in Creating a Mobile App

**Designing the User Interface**
The first step in creating a mobile app is to design the user interface (UI). The UI is the part of the app that the user interacts with, so it’s important that it’s intuitive and easy to use. This involves creating wireframes and mockups of the app, which are visual representations of how the app will look and function.

**Developing the App**
Once the UI has been designed, the next step is to develop the app. This involves writing code that will allow the app to function properly on the target platform (iOS or Android). Developers use programming languages like Java, Swift, or Kotlin to create the app.

**Testing the App**
After the app has been developed, it must be tested to ensure that it works properly. Testers check the app for bugs, errors, and other issues that could affect the user experience. They also test the app on different devices and operating systems to ensure that it works well across all platforms.

**Submitting the App to the App Store**
Once the app has been tested and approved by the developer, it must be submitted to the app store (Apple App Store or Google Play Store) for review. The app store reviews the app to ensure that it meets their guidelines and standards. If the app is approved, it will be available for download by users.

Section 3: Types of Mobile Apps

**Native Apps**
A native app is an app that is designed for a specific operating system, such as iOS or Android. These apps are installed directly onto the user’s device and can be accessed through the device’s home screen. Native apps have access to all of the device’s features, including its camera, microphone, and GPS.

**Web Apps**
A web app is an app that is accessed through a web browser, such as Safari or Chrome. Web apps are not installed directly onto the device but are accessed through a URL. Because they are web-based, web apps do not have access to the device’s native features.

**Hybrid Apps**
A hybrid app is a combination of a native app and a web app. Hybrid apps are installed onto the device like native apps, but they are actually web apps wrapped in a native shell. Hybrid apps have access to some of the device’s native features, but not all of them.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, mobile app development is an important field that allows us to create software that can be used on the go. By understanding the steps involved in creating a mobile app and the different types of mobile apps, we can begin to develop our own apps that meet the needs of our customers.

Many people suffer from impaired use of their hands. Impaired use of one's hand may be a result of an injury, disease or even old age. Impaired use of one's hands makes it difficult for a person to conduct routine daily tasks such as unlocking doors, filing a fingernail, opening mail, aspirin bottles and medicine containers.
When a person locks or unlocks a locking mechanism with a key, usually, a thumb and a forefinger of the person's hand is used to grasp the bow of the key and the user rotates his/her wrist to turn the key in the key way of the locking mechanism. The distance from the rotational centerline of the key extending perpendicularly therefrom to the end of the bow is the moment arm. A sufficient force is therefore necessary to be applied along the moment arm to effectuate turning the key disposed in the key way of the locking mechanism. The smallest force to be applied to the key would be at the very ends of the bow of the key along the moment arm. For some people with impaired use of the their hands, even the minimum force required to turn the key may be too great to turn the key without a tool which, in effect, lengthens the moment arm. Any tool which can double the moment arm would, of course, decrease the amount of force required to turn the key disposed in the key way by one half (1/2).
Some people with impaired use of their hands find it difficult to remove caps from modern medicine containers. Laws have been promulgated which require the caps of modern medicine containers to be "child proof". Child proofing a medicine container has made it more difficult to open. Although the degree of difficulty is rather insignificant for one having normal use of his hands, opening a medicine bottle by a person having impaired ability of his hands can be insurmountable. Typically, the cap must be compressed onto the top of the medicine container and then unscrewed therefrom. Again, the moment arm which extends from the center of rotation of the cap around the medicine container to the radial end of the cap can be rather small for a person suffering from impaired use of his hands.
Laws have also been promulgated to "child-proof" aspirin bottles. Typically, an arrow on the lid of the aspirin bottle must be aligned with the arrow on the aspirin bottle itself. A serrated diamond-shaped tab extends from the rim of the lid and is appropriately aligned for opening when the arrows are aligned. Applying a force to the tab substantially parallel with the radial center of the cap will cause the cap to pop open from the aspirin container. Again, although opening an aspirin container is now more difficult, it is usually no problem for one with ordinary use of his/her hands. However, it becomes extremely more difficult to open an aspirin container for one of impaired use of his/her hands.
It can be a challenge for a person with impaired use of his/her hands to open a sealed envelope. To overcome this problem, those having this handicap often use a letter opener, a knife or some other elongated object which facilitates this task.
Opening beverage cans poses yet another problem for a person having impaired use of his/her hands. The beverage cans, particularly aluminum cans, include a snap top lid that requires strong and nimble fingers to raise a key in order to depress a cap into the beverage can, thereby opening the same. Often, a physically handicapped person would obtain a lever device such a butter knife or a screw driver and employ the same to gain mechanical advantage to open such a beverage can.
Those with severe limited use of their hands also find it difficult to use a simple nail file or an emery board for maintaining their fingernails. Nail files and emery boards are typically flattened elongated structures which require a thumb and a forefinger to hold the same while in use. Those with severe limited use of their hands find it virtually impossible to manicure their nails using such a device.
Devices have been manufactured and marketed to people having physically impaired hands to make daily tasks easier to perform. For example, one such device is an apparatus having a pair of plateau structures which form a V-shaped channel. The apparatus is securely fastened to a support structure. A pair of serrated walls face into the V-shaped channel and operate to grip a lid on a jar or similar container. Once the lid is gripped by the serrated walls, the user can then apply torque to the jar using both hands in order to remove the lid from the jar. Other devices such as letter openers and bottle openers have been used to more easily perform daily tasks. However, few devices have been made which combine a variety of features onto a single, comport apparatus.
There is a need to provide physically handicapped people with a utensil that can assist them in turning keys in key ways of locking mechanisms. There is also a need to provide physically handicapped people with a utensil which can assist them with opening modern medicine containers as well as aspirin bottles. There is also a need to provide a utensil for physically handicapped people to assist them in opening sealed envelopes. There is a further need to provide physically handicapped people with a device which could assist them in opening beverage cans. Another need is to provide physically handicapped people with a utensil that would be easy to grip for the purpose of manicuring their nails. It would be advantageous if all of the utilitarian features needed by physically handicapped people could be combined in a single utensil. It would also be advantageous if such a utensil could be easily gripped and manipulated by hand of one having impaired use of his/her hands. The present invention satisfies these needs and offers these advantages.

Topic 2: Filing Nails
- Use a nail file with a flat surface instead of a rounded one.
- Hold the file with your non-dominant hand and rest your hand on a flat surface while filing.
- Take breaks often to avoid straining your hand.

Topic 3: Opening Mail and Packages
- Use scissors or a knife to cut open packages instead of tearing them with your hands.
- Ask someone else to open mail and packages for you if possible.
- Use a staple remover to remove staples from envelopes instead of pulling them out with your fingers.

Section 3: Practical Examples Using Mathematical Abstractions and Real-World Scenarios

Topic 1: Moment Arm
- The moment arm is the distance from the rotational centerline of the key extending perpendicularly therefrom to the end of the bow of the key.
- A sufficient force is necessary to turn the key in the keyway of the locking mechanism.
- The smallest force to be applied to the key would be at the very ends of the bow of the key along the moment arm.

Isaiah 66

Isaiah 66Darby Translation (DARBY)

66 Thus saith Jehovah: The heavens are my throne, and the earth is my footstool: what is the house that ye will build unto me? and what is the place of my rest?

2 Even all these things hath my hand made, and all these things have been, saith Jehovah. But to this man will I look: to the afflicted and contrite in spirit, and who trembleth at my word.

3 He that slaughtereth an ox, smiteth a man; he that sacrificeth a lamb, breaketh a dog's neck; he that offereth an oblation, [it is as] swine's blood; he that presenteth a memorial of incense, [is as] he that blesseth an idol. As they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations,

4 I also will choose their calamities, and will bring their fears upon them; because I called, and none answered, I spoke, and they did not hear, but did that which was evil in mine eyes, and chose that wherein I delight not.

5 Hear the word of Jehovah, ye that tremble at his word: Your brethren that hated you, that cast you out for my name's sake, said, Let Jehovah be glorified, and let us see your joy! but they shall be ashamed.

6 A voice of tumult from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of Jehovah that rendereth recompence to his enemies!

7 Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man-child.

8 Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Can a land be made to bring forth in one day? shall a nation be born at once? For as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her sons.

9 Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? saith Jehovah; I who cause to bring forth, shall I shut [the womb]? saith thy God.

10 Rejoice with Jerusalem, and be glad for her, all ye that love her; rejoice for joy with her, all ye that mourn over her:

11 because ye shall suck, and be satisfied with the breasts of her consolations; because ye shall drink out, and be delighted with the abundance of her glory.

12 For thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the nations like an overflowing torrent; and ye shall suck, ye shall be carried upon the side, and be dandled upon the knees.

13 As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you; and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem.

14 And ye shall see [this], and your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like the grass; and the hand of Jehovah shall be known toward his servants, and he will have indignation toward his enemies.

15 For behold, Jehovah will come with fire, and his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire.

16 For by fire and by his sword will Jehovah enter into judgment with all flesh: and the slain of Jehovah shall be many.

17 They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens behind one in the midst; that eat swine's flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall perish together, saith Jehovah.

18 And I,—their works and their thoughts [are before me]. … [The time] cometh for the gathering of all nations and tongues; and they shall come, and see my glory.

19 And I will set a sign among them, and I will send those that escape of them unto the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, that draw the bow; to Tubal and Javan, to the isles afar off, that have not heard my fame, neither have seen my glory: and they shall declare my glory among the nations.

20 And they shall bring all your brethren out of all the nations as an oblation unto Jehovah, upon horses, and in chariots, and in covered waggons, and upon mules, and upon dromedaries, to my holy mountain, to Jerusalem, saith Jehovah, as the children of Israel bring an oblation in a clean vessel into the house of Jehovah.

21 And I will also take of them for priests [and] for Levites, saith Jehovah.

22 For as the new heavens and the new earth which I will make shall remain before me, saith Jehovah, so shall your seed and your name remain.

23 And it shall come to pass from new moon to new moon, and from sabbath to sabbath, all flesh shall come to worship before me, saith Jehovah.

24 And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorrence unto all flesh.

Lesson: Introduction to Vedic Astrology Remedies

## Section 1: Theoretical Concepts
In Vedic astrology, remedies are used to mitigate the negative effects of planets and stars on an individual's life. These remedies can be broadly classified into two categories: adhikaar and upayog. Adhikaar refers to the remedies that are based on the principles of karma and dharma, while upayog refers to the remedies that involve the use of mantras, yantras, and other spiritual practices.

The classification of remedial measures in Vedic astrology is based on the predominant guna (nature) of the remedy. Gunas are qualities or attributes that determine the nature of something. The three gunas are sattva (purity), rajas (passion), and tamas (darkness). Remedies that are based on sattvic principles are considered to be the most effective and are recommended for individuals who are suffering from the negative effects of planets and stars.

## Section 2: Practical Examples
Let's consider an example to understand the classification of remedial measures in Vedic astrology. Suppose an individual has Mars (Mangal) in the seventh house of his horoscope, which is causing problems in his marriage life. An astrologer may recommend performing a puja (worship) of Vishnu, who is the deity associated with Mars, to pacify the planet. This remedy is based on sattvic principles and is likely to be effective in resolving the problem.

Alternatively, the astrologer may recommend performing a black magic ritual to counteract the negative effects of Mars. However, this remedy is based on tamasic principles and is not recommended, as it can lead to negative consequences for the individual.

## Section 3: Self-Debating Discussions
As we can see from the example above, the classification of remedial measures in Vedic astrology is based on the predominant guna (nature) of the remedy. It is essential for an astrologer to understand the principles of karma and dharma before recommending any remedy to his clients. This will help him to choose the most appropriate remedy that is based on sattvic principles and will not harm the individual's good karma.

## Glossary
- Guna: Quality or attribute
- Karma: Action or deed that affects the nature of something
- Dharma: Righteous conduct or duty
- Puja: Worship
- Vishnu: Hindu god associated with Mars
- Black magic: Use of supernatural powers for evil purposes

## Conclusion
In conclusion, the classification of remedial measures in Vedic astrology is based on the predominant guna (nature) of the remedy. It is essential for an astrologer to understand the principles of karma and dharma before recommending any remedy to his clients. This will help him to choose the most appropriate remedy that is based on sattvic principles and will not harm the individual's good karma. By understanding the principles of Vedic astrology remedies, we can apply these skills to new problems and find solutions that are based on the principles of karma and dharma.

California Democratic Party Chairman Eric Bauman is calling for a boycott of In-N-Out Burger after the Irvine-based fast-food chain this week donated $25,000 to help Republicans this November.

“Et tu In-N-Out? Tens of thousands of dollars donated to the California Republican Party,” Bauman wrote on Twitter. “It’s time to #BoycottInNOut — let Trump and his cronies support these creeps…perhaps animal style!”

The burger chain started in Southern California decades ago by a Christian family, whose granddaughter Lynsi Snyder still owns the company. It proudly displays its religious views — there’s a Bible verse on some packaging — and has in recent years contributed to Republicans and pro-business causes.

Click to resize

In addition to its $25,000 this week, it donated $30,000 to the GOP in 2017 and $30,000 in 2016. It has also contributed to the California pro-business political action committee, “Californians for Jobs & A Strong Economy,” which helps elect moderate Democrats. Most recently, it gave the PAC $80,000 in 2017.

But the popular fast-food restaurant is facing a wave of backlash in deep-blue California following this week’s contribution, especially on social media.

“Wow, so we all need to stop eating In-N-Out like yesterday,” one person wrote following a tweet of the contribution Monday by a Sacramento Bee reporter.

“This is going to be the hardest breakup I’ll ever have to go through,” another person wrote, followed by another tweet reading “This is the best California publicity Shake Shack could ever ask for.”

But some social media users who identified as conservatives and Republicans cheered the contribution, including the spokesman for Republican John Cox, running for California governor.

“Time to go buy a double double animal style,” Matt Shupe wrote on Twitter.

Another Twitter user wrote “Wait, does this mean California liberals (basically most of the state) won’t eat In-N-Out anymore? Shorter lines?!”

Jim Brulte, chairman of the California Republican Party, noted the restaurant had given to the party and to a PAC that supports Democrats.

“Like many businesses in California, In-N-Out Burger gives to Republicans and Democrats,” Brulte said. “If Chairman Bauman is upset about In-N-Out contributions, maybe he should ask the moderate Democrat caucus to give back the money.”

Hours after Bauman’s tweet appeared and a furor erupted on social media, John Vigna, spokesman for the state Democratic Party, said Bauman’s tweet merely represents his opinion and is not the position of the party.

“Chair Bauman’s personal tweet reflects his belief that he shouldn’t support companies that support the Trump agenda,” Vigna said in a statement.

In-N-Out Burger issued a statement in response to the social media outcry.

“We have been fortunate to do business in this great state for almost 70 years. While it is unfortunate that our contributions to support both political parties in California has caused concern with some groups, we believe that bipartisan support is a fair and consistent approach that best serves the interests of our company and all of our customers,” said Arnie Wensinger, vice president of the company.

In-N-Out’s political impact of the contributions to the Republican Party has been magnified by social media, said Darry Sragow, publisher of the California Target Book. But, he said, it’s unclear how political backlash will affect business.

“The question is whether the folks at In-N-Out have bitten off more than they can chew,” Sragow said. “The answer to how much impact this is going to have on the sale of double-doubles lies in what’s happened for Chick-fil-A, which has taken a lot of heat for stances its owners have taken.

“But Chick-fil-A just opened a new location in the lobby of an office building in the heart of downtown Los Angeles, and the line is always 20 to 30 people deep,” he said.

Chick-fil-A was ensnared in controversy in 2012 for comments against same-sex marriage by a company executive.

Editor’s Note: This story was updated at 11 a.m. on Aug. 30, 2018, to clarify that Californians for Jobs & a Strong Economy does not give to Republican candidates, just moderate Democrats. It was updated at noon with Brulte’s comments. Vigna’s comments were added at 2 p.m. Wensinger’s comments were added at 4:30.

Lesson: How to Read and Analyze News Stories

Introduction:

In today's world, news stories are an essential part of our lives. They provide us with information about what is happening around the world, and they help us make informed decisions about our daily lives. However, not all news stories are created equal. Some are written to mislead or manipulate readers, while others are written to inform and educate. In this lesson, we will learn how to read and analyze news stories so that we can understand their true meaning and purpose.

Section 1: Understanding the Purpose of News Stories

The first step in analyzing a news story is understanding its purpose. News stories serve different purposes, such as entertainment, education, or persuasion. By understanding the purpose of the story, you can better understand its message and how it relates to the world around you.

Question: Why do you think news stories are written?
Answer: News stories are written to inform, educate, and persuade readers.

Section 2: Reading and Analyzing the News Story

Once you understand the purpose of the news story, you can start reading and analyzing it. Here are some steps to follow:

1. Read the headline: The headline is the first thing you see when you read a news story. It should give you an idea of what the story is about.

2. Read the lead: The lead is the first paragraph of the story. It should give you the most important information about the story.

3. Look for evidence: As you read the story, look for evidence to support the claims made in the lead. This evidence can come in the form of quotes, statistics, or other facts.

4. Consider the source: The source of the story can also affect its credibility. If the story comes from a reputable source, it is more likely to be accurate and trustworthy.

5. Analyze the language: Pay attention to the language used in the story. Does it use emotional language to persuade readers? Does it use objective language to inform readers?

6. Evaluate the conclusion: After reading the entire story, evaluate the conclusion. Does it answer the question posed in the lead? Does it provide a satisfying resolution to the story?

Section 3: Applying Critical Thinking Skills

Now that you know how to read and analyze news stories, you can use these skills to think critically about the information presented to you. Here are some questions to ask yourself as you read:

1. Who is the target audience?
2. What is the purpose of the story?
3. Is the story biased or objective?
4. Are the sources used in the story reliable?
5. Does the story provide enough evidence to support its claims?

Conclusion:

By learning how to read and analyze news stories, you can become a more informed and critical reader. You will be able to understand the true meaning behind the stories you read and make better decisions based on the information presented. Remember to always apply critical thinking skills when reading news stories and to never take them at face value.

Lesson: Introduction to Animation and Contemporary Art

## Section 1: Theoretical Concepts

Animation is the process of creating the illusion of movement and change by displaying a series of images in rapid succession. In the context of cinematography, media studies, and visual arts, animation can be used to create a wide range of artistic expressions.

Contemporary art refers to art created in the present day or recent past. It often explores new and innovative ways of expressing ideas and emotions, pushing the boundaries of traditional art forms.

## Section 2: Practical Examples

One example of animation in contemporary art is the use of stop-motion animation. Stop-motion animation involves taking a series of photographs of an object or character in slightly different positions and then playing them back in sequence to create the illusion of movement. This technique has been used in contemporary art to create surreal and thought-provoking pieces.

Another example is the use of computer-generated imagery (CGI) in contemporary art. CGI allows artists to create digital animations that can be manipulated in endless ways, allowing for a high degree of creativity and experimentation.

## Section 3: Self-Debating Discussions

One question to consider is: How does animation challenge our understanding of reality? Animation allows artists to create worlds and characters that do not exist in reality, yet they can still evoke strong emotions and thoughts from viewers. This challenges our assumptions about what is real and what is not.

Another question to consider is: How does animation intersect with other art forms? Animation can be used in conjunction with other art forms such as music, dance, and theater to create multi-disciplinary works of art.

## Glossary
- Animation: The process of creating the illusion of movement and change by displaying a series of images in rapid succession.
- Contemporary art: Art created in the present day or recent past.
- Stop-motion animation: A technique of animation that involves taking a series of photographs of an object or character in slightly different positions and then playing them back in sequence to create the illusion of movement.
- Computer-generated imagery (CGI): The use of computer technology to generate images or animations.

## Conclusion

Animation and contemporary art are two fields that are constantly evolving and pushing the boundaries of creativity. By understanding the theoretical concepts and practical applications of these fields, we can gain a deeper appreciation for the artistic expressions that are being created today. Through self-debating discussions, we can challenge our assumptions and expand our knowledge of the world around us.

Title: Understanding a Baby's Needs Through Observation and Communication

Introduction:
As a parent or caregiver, understanding a baby's needs is crucial for their healthy development. Babies communicate through various means such as crying, facial expressions, and body language. In this lesson, we will learn how to observe and interpret these signals to better understand a baby's needs.

Section 1: Observing a Baby's Signals

Topic 1: Crying
Crying is one of the most common ways babies communicate their needs. There are different types of cries, such as hungry cries, tired cries, and pain cries. As a caregiver, it is essential to learn how to differentiate between these types of cries to respond appropriately.

Question: How can I differentiate between different types of cries?
Answer: Pay attention to the tone, pitch, and duration of the cry. Hungry cries are usually high-pitched and urgent, while tired cries are low-pitched and monotone. Pain cries are usually sharp and sudden.

Topic 2: Facial Expressions
Babies also communicate their needs through facial expressions. For example, a baby may look away or squint if they are tired, or frown if they are uncomfortable or in pain.

Question: How can I interpret a baby's facial expressions?
Answer: Look for subtle changes in the baby's face, such as wrinkled foreheads, pursed lips, or narrowed eyes. These expressions can indicate different emotions and needs.

Topic 3: Body Language
Body language is another way babies communicate their needs. For example, a baby may arch their back if they are uncomfortable, or stiffen their legs if they are sleepy.

Question: How can I interpret a baby's body language?
Answer: Observe the baby's movements and posture. Look for signs of tension or relaxation, and try to identify the underlying emotion or need.

Section 2: Communicating with a Baby

Topic 1: Responding to Cues
Once you have observed and interpreted a baby's signals, it is essential to respond appropriately. For example, if a baby is hungry, offer them a bottle or breast. If a baby is tired, offer them a quiet place to sleep.

Question: How can I respond to a baby's cues effectively?
Answer: Act quickly and calmly. Always reassure the baby that you are there to help them.

Topic 2: Elimination Communication
Elimination communication is a method of observing a baby's signals to determine when they need to use the bathroom. This method involves paying close attention to the baby's body language and cues to prevent accidents.

Question: How can I practice elimination communication?
Answer: Pay attention to the baby's facial expressions, body language, and other cues. When you notice a signal, bring the baby to a clean and convenient location to use the bathroom.

Section 3: Real-World Scenarios

Scenario 1: A baby is crying uncontrollably.
Question: What could be the reason for the baby's crying?
Answer: The baby could be hungry, tired, uncomfortable, or in pain. Observe the baby's facial expressions and body language to determine the cause of the crying.

Scenario 2: A baby is fussy and unsettled.
Question: How can I soothe the baby?
Answer: Offer the baby a quiet space to sleep, rock them gently, or offer a pacifier. Try to identify the underlying cause of the fussiness and address it accordingly.

Conclusion:
Understanding a baby's needs through observation and communication is essential for their healthy development. By learning to interpret different types of cries, facial expressions, and body language, caregivers can respond appropriately and provide the necessary support for the baby's needs. Remember to act quickly and calmly, and always reassure the baby that you are there to help them.
