Short Responses:
1) Texas House Speaker Dennis Bonnen, announced that he would not go through reelection because Republican House members publicly called for him to step down from his leadership role. A recording of Bonnen offering media credentials in exchange for Sullivan targeting "moderate' republican House members
2) Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau
3) "The citizens of Austin expect transparency and a voice in key policy decision. We feel that the Mayor and City Council aren't listing to us or representing us well."

4) The SchoolLinks platform give help to K-12 school counselors to identify their students' career goals helping them find ways to achieve those goals.

5) 33 yards long
Long Responses:
1) Donald Trump is now in the process of an impeachment trial. Trump tweeted that Republicans are facing a lynching, many people were offended that he would compare impeachment to lynching.
   A lot of Republicans tweeted back at Trump. U.S. Rep. Lloyd Doggett commented, "President Trump's latest whiny tantrum complaining that his well-justified impeachment inquiry is in any way comparable to the systemic, brutal torture of mostly African Americans by lynching - represents only another attempt to distract attention from his admitted wrongdoing.”
2) lynch means to kill someone, especially by hanging, for an alleged offense with or without a legal trial. 
3) Lynching was a practice to maintain fear and white supremacy during Reconstruction and the Civil War. African Americans who were accused of very small crimes, like theft, were hung in front of a public mob full of southern, White families. The act of lunching spread fear through the African American community, and an estimated 2 or 3 Africans were lynched each week during the 1800s and 1955.
4) I think Trump chose this word to compare to impeachment because he is careless and doesn't fully understand the modern world. He doesn't think about what comes out of his mouth or what he puts on media.
5) I don’t think that this word can be used in this circumstance. Lynching is something serious that took thousands of lives. The word shouldn't be used lightly especially to be compared to impeachment. Impeachment is just a more public firing and if the president can't deal with that he wasn't meant to have the job in the first place.

Shutter speed, aperture, ISO

Aperture Aperture F2.8 Aperture F16 1. The part of the body we should closely relate to aperture is the pupil. 2. The smaller the aperture the higher amounts of background blur. The larger the aperture the less amounts of background blur. 3. Aperture can affect the Depths of Field very greatly. If you want a picture where the focus is mainly on the foreground and have a more blurry background you would use a lower aperture. And vise versa when you want to see the foreground and background clearly. Shutter Speed Higher shutter speed Slower shutter speed 1. The sun is out a) Quicker shutter speed b) Longer shutter speed c) Quicker shutter speed d) Quicker shutter speed e) Quicker shutter speed f) Quicker shutter speed 2. The sun is down a) Longer shutter speed b) Longer shutter speed c) Quicker shutter speed d) Longer shutter speed e) Longer shutter speed f) Longer shutter speed 2. Setting 1: auto is when the shutter speed is set by the camera Settin...
