The Good Friday Agreement established a major political framework for peace in Northern Ireland. It was agreed upon by the British and Irish governments as well as eight political parties in Northern Ireland. Key aspects of the agreement included establishing a Northern Ireland Assembly with legislative powers, forming a power-sharing Executive Committee, and outlining commitments to human rights, disarmament of paramilitary groups, and the future status of Northern Ireland remaining part of the UK. However, implementation faced challenges including parliamentary crises over the IRA's refusal to disarm and a bank robbery attributed to the IRA.
The document discusses the impact of conflict in Northern Ireland. It summarizes that:
1. The declining economy was affected by violence and tension which drove away businesses and investments due to high security costs. This put a strain on the British government's budget.
2. Political change and reform was achieved through pressure from civil rights groups like NICRA, resulting in some discrimination reforms. However, peace talks were disrupted by extremist groups like the IRA.
3. Attempts have been made over the decades to negotiate peace agreements between involved groups, but achieving lasting peace has been difficult due to lack of support from all sides and sporadic violence like bombings by dissident groups.
The document summarizes the history and politics of Northern Ireland from 1920 to 2000. It describes how Northern Ireland was established with a Protestant majority that dominated the Catholic minority politically and economically. This led to discrimination against Catholics and the rise of the IRA and sectarian conflict. Attempts were made to reform and create power-sharing agreements, but violence continued until the Good Friday Agreement in 1998 brought most parties together to find a peaceful path forward.
This document provides definitions and explanations of various optical terminology related to light passing through a lens, including:
- Dispersion, refraction, diffraction, reflection, focal point, focal length, principal point, image circle, aperture ratio, numerical aperture, optical axis, and more. It discusses concepts such as entrance pupil, exit pupil, angular aperture, and how they relate to lens performance. The document also covers topics like vignetting, the cosine law, and flare. Overall, it serves as a comprehensive reference for understanding optical and photographic lens terminology.
This document provides information about 4K lens specifications and performance. It discusses key optical parameters for 4K lenses such as sharpness, chromatic aberration, depth of field, and resolution. The document explains how 4K lenses are designed to minimize chromatic aberration and enhance modulation transfer function to improve image quality. It also describes the benefits of 4K lenses for wide color gamut and high dynamic range imaging applications. These benefits include reduced color fringing, flare, and black level for increased dynamic range. Examples are provided comparing image quality between 4K and HD lenses. The document concludes with information about Canon's cinema lens lineup and technologies.
Global Shapers Community - PresentationJessie Wang

Shapers have already demonstrated leadership and entrepreneurship. The World Economic Forum supports the Global Shapers Community by providing access to Forum events, leaders, and insights to further the Shapers' positive impact.
Audio engineering involves the recording and reproduction of sound using various equipment. An audio engineer works in recording studios, live events, films, and other productions to capture and manipulate sound under the direction of a producer. Some key aspects covered include the recording studio setup, standard equipment, transition to digital recording, influential engineers like Phil Spector, and techniques used for studio recordings and films.
