A camera is an optical instrument to capture still images or to record moving images, which are stored in a physical medium such as in a digital system or on photographic film. A camera consists of a lens which focuses light from the scene, and a camera body which holds the image capture mechanism.

The still image camera is the main instrument in the art of photography and captured images may be reproduced later as a part of the process of photography, digital imaging, photographic printing. The similar artistic fields in the moving image camera domain are film, videography, and cinematography.

The word camera comes from camera obscura, which means "dark chamber" and is the Latin name of the original device for projecting an image of external reality onto a flat surface. The modern photographic camera evolved from the camera obscura. The functioning of the camera is very similar to the functioning of the human eye. The first permanent photograph was made in 1825 by Joseph Nicéphore Niépce.

Sarah Barrow (born 22 October 1988) is a British diver who competed in several LEN European Aquatics Championships and Commonwealth Games, where she won multiple medals.
Career
Sarah Barrow was born on 22 October 1988.[7]
She competed at the 2006 Commonwealth Games in the 10 m synchro event with Monique Gladding.[8] The team finished in fifth.[8] She competed in the same event at the 2010 Commonwealth Games, this time with Tonia Couch.[8] They finished fourth, and replicated this result at the 2011 European Championships.[8]
She won the gold medal at the 2012 European Championships at the 10 metre synchro event, with Tonia Couch.[3] They scored a then personal best of 319.56 points, beating the Ukrainian pair by 8.88 points.[3] This was the first European medal awarded to female British divers in 74 years.[3] The team of Barrow and Couch had finished in 4th at the preceding World Championships in 2011.[3]

Barrow represented Great Britain at the 2012 Summer Olympics, in 10 m platform synchro event with Tonia Couch, and at the 2016 Summer Olympics, in the 10 m platform individual event.[9][10]

The team of Barrow and Couch were unable to defend their European title in 2013, finishing with a silver medal.[5] That year, Barrow finished fourth in the individual 10 m platform event at the World Championships.[8]

In 2014, she won Commonwealth silver in the 10 m synchro event, with Tonia Couch.[6] That year, she also finished 4th in the individual 10 m at the World Championships, the best result ever for a British woman.[11] At the European Championships in that year, she won the gold medal in the individual 10 m event, the first individual European gold medal for a British woman in 87 years (1927), and first individual medal of any colour since 1958.[4]

She and Couch were split up by British coaches in the synchro event in early 2016, after Barrow had struggled with shin injuries and a non-cancerous tumour.[12][11] This was despite the fact that Barrow and Couch had been the pair who secured GB's Olympic place in the 10 m synchro event.[13]

Morocco (/məˈrɒkoʊ/ (About this soundlisten); Arabic: المغرب‎, romanized: al-maġhrib, lit. 'place the sun sets; the west'; Standard Moroccan Tamazight: ⵍⵎⵖⵔⵉⴱ, romanized: lmeɣrib; French: Maroc), officially the Kingdom of Morocco (Arabic: المملكة المغربية‎, romanized: al-mamlakah al-maghribiyah, lit. 'The Western Kingdom'; Standard Moroccan Tamazight: ⵜⴰⴳⵍⴷⵉⵜ ⵏ ⵍⵎⵖⵔⵉⴱ, romanized: tageldit n lmaɣrib; French: Royaume du Maroc), is a sovereign state located in the Maghreb region of North Africa. It overlooks the Mediterranean Sea to the north and the Atlantic Ocean to the west. Morocco claims the areas of Ceuta, Melilla and Peñón de Vélez de la Gomera, all of them under Spanish jurisdiction.[11] The capital is Rabat and the largest city Casablanca.[12] Morocco spans an area of 710,850 km2 (274,460 sq mi) and has a population of over 36 million.

Since the foundation of the first Moroccan state by Idris I in 788 AD, the country has been ruled by a series of independent dynasties, reaching its zenith under Almoravid and Almohad rule, when it spanned parts of Iberia and northwestern Africa. The Marinid and Saadi dynasties resisted foreign domination into the 17th century, allowing Morocco to remain the only northwest African country to avoid Ottoman occupation. The Alaouite dynasty, which rules to this day, seized power in 1631. The country's strategic location near the mouth of the Mediterranean attracted the interest of Europe, and in 1912, Morocco was divided into French and Spanish protectorates, with an international zone in Tangier. It regained its independence in 1956, and has since remained comparatively stable and prosperous by regional standards, with the fifth largest economy in Africa.[13]

Morocco claims the non-self-governing territory of Western Sahara, formerly Spanish Sahara, as its Southern Provinces. After Spain agreed to decolonise the territory to Morocco and Mauritania in 1975, a guerrilla war arose with local forces. Mauritania relinquished its claim in 1979, and the war lasted until a ceasefire in 1991. Morocco currently occupies two thirds of the territory, and peace processes have thus far failed to break the political deadlock.

Morocco is a unitary constitutional monarchy with an elected parliament. The country wields significant influence in both Africa and the Arab world, and is considered a regional power and a middle power. The King of Morocco holds vast executive and legislative powers, especially over the military, foreign policy and religious affairs. Executive power is exercised by the government, while legislative power is vested in both the government and the two chambers of parliament, the Assembly of Representatives and the Assembly of Councillors. The king can issue decrees called dahirs, which have the force of law. He can also dissolve the parliament after consulting the Prime Minister and the president of the constitutional court.

Morocco's predominant religion is Islam, and its official languages are Arabic and Berber, the latter achieving official recognition in 2011,[14] having been the native language of Morocco before the Muslim conquest in the seventh century C.E.[15] The Moroccan dialect of Arabic, referred to as Darija, and French are also widely spoken. Moroccan culture is a blend of Berber, Arab, Sephardi Jews, West African and European influences.

Morocco is a member of the Arab League, the Union for the Mediterranean and the African Union.
