# One World, One Flame

**"One World, One Flame"** is a single by Canadian rock singer Bryan Adams, co-written with Jim Vallance and Gretchen Peters, released in 2010 in Austria and Germany (See 2010 in music).

## Background

Adams was asked by the German television network, ARD to write a song for them to use when broadcasting the 2010 Winter Olympics. In November 2009 he rang Jim Vallance to seek help in writing and composing the song. With both thinking the ARD wanted something up beat, they recorded an up-tempo rock song and sent the ARD a demo. They were however mistaken, the ARD wanted an "inspirational ballad". With this setback, Adams and Vallance didn't discuss the project for a month. In the meantime Vallance was able to discover a short snippet of music he'd recorded a few years back. It was however just a simple two-bar phrase, its duration no more than 5 seconds. Seeing it as a good starting point for the second phase of development, he sent it to Adams.

With this snippet of music, Adams and Vallance started e-mailing lyrics back-and-forth, as they had done with Adams previous album, *11*. Given the nature of their assignment, the lyrics needed to be olympics themed. They had problems writing the song, so Adams asked for some help from Gretchen Peters. She was able to contribute with a new set of lyrics, which according to Vallance, were able to capture the "Olympic spirit" perfectly.

# Pierre Toutain-Dorbec

**Pierre Toutain-Dorbec**, (born 16 April 1951) in Orbec, Normandy, France is a Franco-American photographer, artist, author, and publisher whose work emphasizes a humanist perspective.

## Biography

Pierre grew up in Orbec, Normandy, and Paris. His family moved between Paris and Orbec to accommodate Pierre's education and his mother's career. His artistic education began within his family; his parents provided instruction in traditional techniques in drawing, painting, and sculpting. His grandfather, Gabriel, was a photographer during World War I and his uncle Jean was also a photographer and artist. Pierre's father, Jacques, was a known textile expert and designer, and later a painter. His mother, Francoise Fontaine, was a professional musician and opera singer. From his uncle, Pierre received instruction in photography and film development. Toutain-Dorbec was influenced by his grandparents' neighbor, the French figurative painter Pierre Laffille (French, 1938–2012), who remained a life-time friend. At age 16, Toutain-Dorbec attended the Atelier de la Grande-Chaumiere, a renowned art school in Paris, where he received a classical education in fine art. While attending art school, Toutain-Dorbec supplemented his art education working as an assistant with the acclaimed German photographer Wilhem Maywald, who resided near the school.

By the end of 1968, with the encouragement of his family Toutain-Dorbec left home to pursue a career as a photographer. He began his career as photographer in Vietnam. From 1968 to 1995 Pierre worked as a war correspondent, for both Gamma and Sygma press agencies, and as a freelance photographer. His work focused mainly on Southeast Asia and North Africa. He covered his time in Vietnam and Cambodia with the Khmer Rouge (a collection of those photos are archived at Rutgers University). While in Burma he covered the problems of guerrillas fighting the government, like the Karen. Toutain-Dorbec worked to draw attention to the problems of child abuse and child prostitution in Southeast Asia, and problematic laws which could result in children being incarcerated alongside their fathers. He paid particular attention to issues associated with illicit drugs, especially heroin. Toutain-Dorbec advocated the importance of fair judicial treatment for foreigner in the courts. He worked for two years in Morocco from 1978 to 1979 for the King, photographing then-Crown Prince Sidi Mohammed and further documenting Morocco. King Hassan II has a large collection of his photographs. In India, he worked extensively on fiction regarding leprosy, religion and ancient cities. Toutain-Dorbec lived and worked with the Dalai Lama in 1983–84, co-authoring two books with him. He also photographed old French traditions going back to the Middle Age (some of the stories are now part of museum collections, like the Musée des Traditions in Louviers, Normandy). He also worked for the movie industry.

From 1995 to 2003, Toutain-Dorbec lived in France and Spain where he pursued personal projects, primarily sculpture and photography. In 2002, he became the director and curator of the International Museum for Photography, located in the ancient Chateau de Belcastel; Toutain-Dorbec has received acclaim for his work in this capacity. In 2004, he moved to New Mexico commencing a project documenting the United States. Currently, he lives in Cannon Beach, Oregon, where he and his wife Claudia operate the Cannon Beach Hotel.

## Artistic Work

Following his artistic urges from an early age, Pierre Toutain-Dorbec photographed and drew his family and his native countryside, Normandy. Throughout his career, Toutain-Dorbec's photographic work has remained true to his original training. His photographs are primarily black and white, taken on traditional film. He maintains his own darkroom where he processes his film and silver gelatins himself. Toutain-Dorbec so far has published over forty books and exhibited his photographs, drawings, sculptures, and paintings throughout Asia, Europe, America, and North Africa.

# Ryan Sweeney (baseball)

**Ryan Joseph Sweeney** (born February 20, 1985) is an American former Major League Baseball outfielder. He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Chicago White Sox, Oakland Athletics, Boston Red Sox and Chicago Cubs.

## Early life

Sweeney was born in Cedar Rapids, Iowa and originally attended Jefferson High School, but conflict between winter showcase games and regular high school basketball schedule obligations led him to transfer to and graduate from cross-town Xavier High School in Cedar Rapids in 2003.

## Baseball career

### Minor leagues

He had originally planned to play for Tony Gwynn at San Diego State University, but signed with the Chicago White Sox after they chose him in the 2nd round of the 2003 MLB draft.

Sweeney played in the White Sox minor league organization from 2003 to 2006, including: Bristol (Appalachian League) and Great Falls (Pioneer League) in 2003; Winston-Salem (Carolina League) in 2004; Birmingham (Southern League) in 2005; and Charlotte (International League) in 2006.

### Chicago White Sox

In 2006, he was called up to the White Sox, and played in 21 games for the major league team. At the beginning of the 2007 season, Ryan was ranked by Baseball America as prospect No. 1 in the White Sox organization. That year he played in 15 games for the White Sox and 105 for the Charlotte Knights.

### Oakland Athletics

On January 3, 2008, the White Sox traded him, along with fellow prospects pitchers Fautino de los Santos and Gio González, to Oakland for outfielder Nick Swisher. He played in 8 games for the AAA Pacific Coast League Sacramento River Cats before being called up to the major league team, where he played in 116 games. Sweeney remained with the A's through 2011.

### Boston Red Sox

On December 28, 2011, Sweeney and Andrew Bailey were traded to the Boston Red Sox for Josh Reddick, Miles Head and Raúl Alcántara.

Sweeney played in 63 games for the Red Sox during the 2012 season. On November 30, 2012 he was among those not offered a contract for 2013 by the Red Sox, and became a free agent.

On January 26, 2013 the Red Sox signed Sweeney to a minor league contract which would pay him $1.25 million plus incentives if he made the major league team. Sweeney was signed to provide additional outfield depth when the team learned that Ryan Kalish required surgery and would miss at least part of the 2013 season.

At the end of spring training in March, 2013, Sweeney was not added to Boston's major league roster. Rather than accept assignment to the minor leagues, he opted out of his contract and became a free agent.

### Chicago Cubs

Sweeney signed a minor league contract with the Chicago Cubs on April 2, 2013.

On May 6, 2013 the Cubs announced that Sweeney would be joining the major league team, with Dave Sappelt moving to the Cubs' Triple-A affiliate to make room on the Cubs roster for Sweeney. On May 8, 2013, Sweeney recorded his first hit as a Chicago Cub. Sweeney's first home run as a Cub came on May 19, 2013 at Wrigley Field. On June 15, Sweeney took over as the starting center fielder when David DeJesus sprained his shoulder running into a wall. On June 29, Sweeney fractured his rib while running into a wall making a catch against the Mariners. Brian Bogusevic then became the starting center fielder. On September 1, he returned to the Cubs, receiving the bulk of the starts in center field to end the year.

In 2013, Sweeney played 70 games with the Cubs and hit .266/.324/.448 with 6 HR and 19 RBI. On October 8, Sweeney signed a two-year, $3.5 million deal with a $2.5 million option for 2016. He would earn $1.5 million annually, and the option had a $500,000 buyout. In 77 games in 2014, Sweeney hit .251 with 3 home runs and 20 RBI's. He went on the disabled list on August 27 with a left hamstring strain.

Sweeney was designated for assignment by the Cubs on April 5, 2015, and released on April 7.

### Minnesota Twins

On December 17, 2015 the Minnesota Twins announced that Sweeney was one of several players who received a minor league contract and an offer to attend the Twins' spring training. He was released on March 25, 2016.

title: Imipenem

abstract: Imipenem is a synthetic β-lactam antibiotic belonging to the carbapenems chemical class. developed by Merck scientists Burton Christensen, William Leanza, and Kenneth Wildonger in the mid-1970s. Carbapenems are highly resistant to the β-lactamase enzymes produced by many multiple drug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria, thus playing a key role in the treatment of infections not readily treated with other antibiotics. It is usually administered through intravenous injection. Imipenem was patented in 1975 and approved for medical use in 1985. It was developed via a lengthy trial-and-error search for a more stable version of the natural product thienamycin, which is produced by the bacterium Streptomyces cattleya. Thienamycin has antibacterial activity, but is unstable in aqueous solution, thus it is practically of no medicinal use. Imipenem has a broad spectrum of activity against aerobic and anaerobic, Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. It is particularly important for its activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Enterococcus species. However, it is not active against MRSA.

# Imipenem

**Imipenem** (trade name **Primaxin** among others) is a synthetic β-lactam antibiotic belonging to the carbapenems chemical class. developed by Merck scientists Burton Christensen, William Leanza, and Kenneth Wildonger in the mid-1970s. Carbapenems are highly resistant to the β-lactamase enzymes produced by many multiple drug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria, thus playing a key role in the treatment of infections not readily treated with other antibiotics. It is usually administered through intravenous injection.

Imipenem was patented in 1975 and approved for medical use in 1985. It was developed via a lengthy trial-and-error search for a more stable version of the natural product thienamycin, which is produced by the bacterium *Streptomyces cattleya*. Thienamycin has antibacterial activity, but is unstable in aqueous solution, thus it is practically of no medicinal use. Imipenem has a broad spectrum of activity against aerobic and anaerobic, Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. It is particularly important for its activity against *Pseudomonas aeruginosa* and *Enterococcus* species. However, it is not active against MRSA.

## Medical uses

### Spectrum of bacterial susceptibility and resistance

*Acinetobacter anitratus*, *Acinetobacter calcoaceticus*, *Actinomyces odontolyticus*, *Aeromonas hydrophila*, *Bacteroides distasonis*, *Bacteroides uniformis*, and *Clostridium perfringens* are generally susceptible to imipenem, while *Acinetobacter baumannii, some Acinetobacter* spp., *Bacteroides fragilis*, and *Enterococcus faecalis* have developed resistance to imipenem to varying degrees. Not many species are resistant to imipenem except *Pseudomonas aeruginosa* (Oman) and *Stenotrophomonas maltophilia*.

### Coadministration with cilastatin

Imipenem is rapidly degraded by the renal enzyme dehydropeptidase 1 when administered alone, and is almost always coadministered with cilastatin to prevent this inactivation.

## Adverse effects

Common adverse drug reactions are nausea and vomiting. People who are allergic to penicillin and other β-lactam antibiotics should take caution if taking imipenem, as cross-reactivity rates are high. At high doses, imipenem is seizurogenic.

## Mechanism of action

Imipenem acts as an antimicrobial through inhibiting cell wall synthesis of various Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. It remains very stable in the presence of β-lactamase (both penicillinase and cephalosporinase) produced by some bacteria, and is a strong inhibitor of β-lactamases from some Gram-negative bacteria that are resistant to most β-lactam antibiotics.

**Hélène Michel-Wolfromm** was a French gynecologist known for her work on the sexual problems encountered by French women.

## Early life and education

Michel-Wolfromm was born in Paris on December 4, 1914 and died on April 5, 1969 from lung cancer. She studied medicine with a focus in gynecology in Paris and graduated in 1938. Michel-Wolfromm was the first in France to apply psychosomatic medicine to the field of gynecology. She focused on sexology and a psychosomatic approach to gynecological problems. She also spoke with the press about sexual problems experienced by women. She talked about sexuality as 'that thing' when talking to her patients, and considered female mental instability a fear of aging. The female patients she saw were referred to her by other doctors who no longer wished to treat them. In her later years she defended the right of women to obtain birth control.

After her death in 1969, an obituary by Raoul Palmer was published in *Gynécologie et Obstétrique,* and second obituary appeared in *La Presse Médicale.*

title: Ndiyo

abstract: Ndiyo was a not-profit organisation based out of Cambridge, United Kingdom, which aimed to promote networked computing that is "simple, affordable, open." Ndiyo, pronounced nn-dee-yo, is the Swahili word for "yes". The company developed an ultra-thin client called the nivo based on Ubuntu Linux and other open-source software, for use especially in developing countries. The data sent to the clients over the network was pixel data, using a similar approach to Virtual Network Computing (VNC). The project worked on the basis of multiple workstations running from a single PC. Quentin Stafford-Fraser, founder of the organisation, told The Economist "We can make computing more affordable by sharing it". The system allows a basic PC running linux to be shared by many users. The Ndiyo Nivo was similar in concept to Sun Microsystems' Sun Ray virtual display thin client, but at sub-$100 and using only 2W, it was lower-cost and used much less power, making it more suitable for these kinds of situations. In addition to its use by organisations within the United Kingdom, Ndiyo-based systems were deployed in internet cafes in Bangladesh and South Africa, and in Tanzanian Schools. The Nivo technology went on to become the basis of DisplayLink, a company founded by members of the team.

# Miracle in the Gorbals

***Miracle in the Gorbals*** (1944) is a one-act ballet choreographed by Robert Helpmann to a story by Michael Benthall, with music by Arthur Bliss. The setting is the 1940s slums in the Gorbals area of Glasgow. It became a staple of the Royal Ballet, performed each season from 1944 to 1950 and receiving a revival in 1958.

## Background

The idea for the scenario for *Miracle in the Gorbals* came to Michael Benthall while he was working on a gun site in Glasgow. He worked on a detailed story and the characters, discussing the action with dancer and choreographer Robert Helpmann. The next collaborator to be identified was the designer, Edward Burra. The composer Arthur Bliss set to work on the score, with scenario and initial designs before him. The Royal Ballet performed the ballet every season from 1944 to 1950 and revived it in 1958, but it did not perform it in Glasgow itself when touring Scotland in 1945. They also performed the ballet in Paris.

Bliss wrote the music in 1943 after his return from the United States. He created a concert suite from the ballet music, choosing seven of the fifteen numbers in the ballet, as well as the overture (The Street, The Girl Suicide, The Young Lovers, The Stranger, Dance of Deliverance, Intermezzo, Finale: The Killing of the Stranger).

Thanks to the efforts of David Drew, a dancer with the Royal Ballet for over 50 years, the ballet was revived in 2014 by the Birmingham Royal Ballet, under the direction of Gillian Lynne, a member of the original cast.

## Original cast

The ballet was first produced by the Sadler's Wells Ballet at the Prince's Theatre in London on Thursday, 26 October 1944. The choreography was by Robert Helpmann, who danced the lead role of the Stranger, and the music was conducted by Constant Lambert. The first cast was:

The corps (residents of the Gorbals) included Julia Farron, Moyra Fraser, Gerd Larsen, Gillian Lynne and Stanley Holden.

## Synopsis

The front cloth shows a rainswept ship in a dry dock with vast cranes in the background. The first scene in the slum is set in the afternoon, with a pub 'The Shamrock' on the left and on the right a fish and chip shop 'Mac's'; tenements crowd in on either side. Urchins are playing, but they run off when scolded by a minister. Evening approaches, and the prostitute comes out, and young men follow her around. The minister and the prostitute meet; he turns away and she goes into a doorway with a young man. A girl enters, but goes off after seeing a group of drunks. Two lovers come on and dance; the prostitute emerges and tries to entice the man, but the re-appearance of the minister foils her.

An old beggar and some children pass news around a gathering crowd; the minister faces the audience. Two men carry in the body of the suicide. The minister crosses her hands and the crowd feels the certainty of her death. A stranger enters, the crowd parts and he is left with the suicide's body. After he bends over the body, the girl rises, and she slowly warms to rebirth and starts dancing. The stranger is acclaimed, but the minister is disturbed, resentful of his loss of authority. The stranger blesses the crowd, and he leaves the scene with the revived girl.

The minister sends a child to spy on the stranger, when the prostitute walks by. The minister follows her up some stairs as she glories in her success. The people return to the street in excitement at the miracle. The minister comes back down the stairs, and the two lovers say good-night. The urchin brings news back to the minister, and the stranger is sent to the prostitute's room on a supposed mercy errand. The minister poisons the thoughts of the people, predicting that the stranger will emerge from the prostitute's room. Although initially stirred, the crowd are silent when the stranger re-emerges; only the beggar is aware of the plot and retreats to a doorway. After the stranger has left, the prostitute appears in a more lyrical frame of mind, as if having visions. The minister next summons a gang of thugs, who loiter in dark alleys. As the stranger comes back, he offers no resistance; they jostle him, slash him with knives and kick him to the ground, where the silence is broken by the sound of a distant ship siren. The minister realises the horror of what he has done. The beggar goes to help the stranger, and he is joined by the prostitute and the suicide, before the two women leave the beggar alone with the stranger.

In 1964 he received his bachelor's degree from Whitman College, where he was on the debate team, and was then accepted by Harvard Business School. After graduating with an MBA in 1966, he entered Harvard Law School, and graduated with a JD in 1969.

A veteran who served in the Army and Pentagon during the Vietnam War, he is the former leader of a forestry industry and founder of a chain of retail nurseries, SummerWinds Garden Centers. Minnick also served as CEO of TJ International (acquired by Weyerhaeuser in 1999) and has served on the board of directors of several corporations and nonprofit organizations.

## Early political career

Minnick served as a staff assistant to President Richard Nixon on the White House Domestic Council from 1971 to 1972 and as a deputy assistant director for the Office of Management and Budget from 1972 to 1973. He was also involved in the creation of the Drug Enforcement Administration. Minnick resigned from the administration in October 1973 in protest of the Watergate-era "Saturday Night massacre" in which Nixon dismissed United States Attorney General Elliot Richardson, special prosecutor Archibald Cox, and others. Minnick is a businessman and politician who resides in Boise.

Minnick, who long considered himself a political independent, was recruited to run against incumbent Republican Senator Larry Craig in the 1996 Senate election in Idaho by then-Senator Bob Kerrey of Nebraska. Although Minnick originally intended to enter the race as an Independent, he was convinced to run as a Democrat by former Idaho Governor Cecil D. Andrus. Minnick lost the race 283,532 votes (57.02%) to 198,422 (39.91%).

## U.S. House of Representatives

### Elections

2008

Minnick ran unopposed in the 2008 Democratic primary held in late May. An expected primary challenge by 2006 nominee Larry Grant was averted when Grant withdrew from the race and endorsed Minnick the month prior. Although the 1st is a heavily Republican district, Democrats thought they had a realistic chance of winning the district because the Republican incumbent, Bill Sali, had been a lightning rod for controversy.

In the November 4, 2008 general election, Minnick narrowly defeated Sali, taking 50.6% of the vote to Sali's 49.4%. While Minnick carried only seven of the district's 18 counties, he prevailed largely by winning the district's share of Ada County, home to Boise and more than two-thirds of the district's vote, by 4,000 votes. With his victory, Minnick represented the third most Republican district in the nation to be held by a Democrat and he became the first Democrat to represent Idaho at the federal level since Larry LaRocco, who represented the 1st District for two terms until the 1994 elections. At the time, the district had a Cook Partisan Voting Index of R+18. John McCain easily carried the district with over 60 percent of the vote in 2008.

2010

Minnick was the only Democrat endorsed by the Tea Party Express, a conservative group. Minnick was challenged by Republican state Representative Raúl Labrador, Libertarian Mike Washburn, and Independent Dave Olson. Despite polls showing Minnick leading, Labrador defeated him by a 51%-41% margin in an upset. Since Minnick left office, no other Democrat has represented Idaho in Congress.

### Tenure

After taking office, Minnick joined the Blue Dog Coalition of House Democrats. He voted with his party 71% of the time.

In January 2009, Minnick joined with 10 other Democrats to oppose the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. In June 2009, Congressman Minnick voted with 43 other Democrats against the American Clean Energy and Security Act, and in December 2009, voted with 38 other Democrats against the Affordable Health Care for America Act. Minnick was the lone Democrat to receive a perfect score from the Club for Growth on their RePork Card ratings, for his votes to cut spending in Congress.

Minnick voted against the Stupak–Pitts Amendment which proposed to put restrictions on federal funds "to pay for any abortion or to cover any part of the costs of any health plan that includes coverage of abortion" except in cases of rape, incest or danger to the life of the mother. On March 21, 2010, Minnick voted against the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act that President Barack Obama signed into law on March 23, 2010. Minnick said that there is very little cost control in the bill.

Minnick voted for the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009, the Helping Families Save Their Homes Act of 2009, the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act, the Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act, and against establishing spending caps through fiscal year 2014.

### Committee assignments

## Later career

After leaving office, he co-founded the lobbying firm The Majority Group with his former chief-of-staff Rob Ellsworth and Wall Street attorney Chris DiAngelo.

# Russian frigate Liogkii (1803)

***Liogkii*** ("Лёгкий"), or *Legkiy* or *Legkii*, was a 38-gun Russian *Speshni*-class frigate launched in 1803. She served in the Mediterranean during the Anglo-Russian war. The Russians sold her to the French Navy in 1809, which refitted her and put her into service in 1811, renaming her *Corcyre*. The British captured her in November 1811.

## Russian service

*Legkiy* was built of pine and served in the Baltic Fleet. From 1804 to 1809 she was under the command of Captain A.B. Povalishin.

*Legkiy* sailed to the Mediterranean in 1806 with Captain-Commodore I.A. Ignatyev's squadron. Between February and September 1807 she served with the Adriatic Squadron.

She left Corfu on 24 December, arriving at Trieste on 28 December 1807 as part of Commodore Saltanov's squadron. At Trieste, she resisted a British attack there in May 1809.

On 27 September 1809 she was ordered sold to France. She was decommissioned at Trieste on 20 October, and transferred to the French on 1 November. Her Russian crew left for Russia about a year later, on 24 October 1810.

## French service

The French Navy refitted *Legkiy* between January and March 1811, at Trieste, and renamed her *Corcyre* in March. She was armed *en flûte*.

## Fate

On 27 November 1811, as she sailed escorted by *Uranie* and the 14-gun brig *Scemplone*, ferrying troops and ammunition, she encountered the 74-gun ship of the line HMS *Eagle* about four leagues NW of Fano. *Eagle* finally caught *Corcyre* after a chase of 10 hours. Captain Sir Charles Rowley reported that the three vessels were sailing from Corfu from Trieste, having left Corfu on 13 November, and that all three were carrying wheat and stores. *Corcyre* alone was carrying 300 tons of wheat. She had a crew of 70 men and was carrying 130 soldiers.

*Scemplone* escaped early in the chase. *Uranie* escaped by superior sailing, the onset of darkness, and the weather, and probably was able to take refuge at Brindisi. *Corcyre* resisted *Eagle*, firing on her for a few minutes. *Corcyre* had already lost her foretop mast during the chase from carrying too much sail, and return fire from *Eagle* did further damage to *Corcyre'*s rigging. She struck after she had lost three men killed and six or so wounded, including her captain who was lightly wounded in the head. *Eagle* was forced to stay close to *Corcyre* to prevent her running on shore near Brindisi, which by then was only a mile and a half away.

*Corcyre'*s captain, Lieutenant Langlade, was acquitted on 16 September 1812 for the loss of his ship.

title: RF switch matrix

abstract: An RF switch matrix is an array of RF switches arranged to route radio frequency (RF) signals between multiple inputs and multiple outputs. Applications requiring RF matrices include ground systems, test equipment, and communication systems. An RF matrix is used in test systems, in both design verification and manufacturing test, to route high frequency signals between the device under test (DUT) and the test and measurement equipment. In addition to signal routing, the RF/Microwave Switch Matrix may also contain signal conditioning components including passive signal conditioning devices, such as attenuators, filters, and directional couplers, as well as active signal conditioning, such as amplification and frequency converters. Since the signal routing and signal conditioning needs of a test system differ from design to design, RF/Microwave Switch Matrices may be custom designed by the test system engineer or by a hired contractor for each new test system. The Switch Matrix is made up of discrete electronic components including RF switches and signal conditioners that are mounted together in a mechanical infrastructure or housing. Cables interconnect the switches and signal conditioners. The switch matrix employs a driver circuit and power supply to power and drive the switches and signal conditioners. The switch matrix uses connectors or fixtures to route signals from the sourcing and measurement equipment to the DUT. The switch matrix is typically located close to the DUT to shorten the signal paths, thus reducing insertion loss and signal degradation.

# RF switch matrix

An **RF switch matrix** is an array of RF switches arranged to route radio frequency (RF) signals between multiple inputs and multiple outputs. Applications requiring RF matrices include ground systems, test equipment, and communication systems.

An RF matrix is used in test systems, in both design verification and manufacturing test, to route high frequency signals between the device under test (DUT) and the test and measurement equipment. In addition to signal routing, the RF/Microwave Switch Matrix may also contain signal conditioning components including passive signal conditioning devices, such as attenuators, filters, and directional couplers, as well as active signal conditioning, such as amplification and frequency converters. Since the signal routing and signal conditioning needs of a test system differ from design to design, RF/Microwave Switch Matrices may be custom designed by the test system engineer or by a hired contractor for each new test system.

The Switch Matrix is made up of discrete electronic components including RF switches and signal conditioners that are mounted together in a mechanical infrastructure or housing. Cables interconnect the switches and signal conditioners. The switch matrix employs a driver circuit and power supply to power and drive the switches and signal conditioners. The switch matrix uses connectors or fixtures to route signals from the sourcing and measurement equipment to the DUT. The switch matrix is typically located close to the DUT to shorten the signal paths, thus reducing insertion loss and signal degradation.

## Matrix benefits

The purpose of a switch matrix is to move the signal routing and signal conditioning to one central location in the test system versus having it all distributed at various places in the test system. Moving the signal routing and signal conditioning to a single location in the test system has the following advantages:

* The calibration plane between the DUT and test equipment becomes smaller and more centralized, making it easier to characterize.
* Switches and signal conditioners have similar power, mounting, and driver requirements, so moving them to a single location means only a single power supply and driver circuit is needed to power and control them.
* Short signal paths reduce insertion loss and increase signal integrity.
* Exact-length signal paths are possible, thereby controlling phase issues.
* Simplifies service and support.

## Making it vs buying it

Switch matrices present a unique problem to test system designers as the signal conditioning needs, the frequency range, the bandwidth, and power aspects change from application to application. Test and measurement companies cannot provide a "one size fits all" solution. This leaves test system designers with two choices for their switch matrix design: Insourcing or outsourcing.

### Insource advantages

1. Proprietary concerns are a big issue especially in the Aerospace Defense industry. Creating a switch matrix in-house removes this issue.
2. Internal human resources may be less costly.
3. A company is in control of the amount of daily man hours spent in development.
4. Being the first to develop an emerging technology into a finished product can be very profitable. Insourcing bypasses the time spent shopping around for the right contractor.
5. Successive switch matrix designs can be highly leveragable from one design to another. The switch driver hardware and software, the mechanical designs, the power supply, etc. can all be reused in other designs with little or no modification.

### Outsource advantages

1. Only way to obtain device if the company lacks or cannot spare human resources.
2. System integrators (contractors) tend to have more experience and expertise.
3. System integrators can design within tight specs and can handle complicated designs.
4. System integrators can provide guaranteed work and product support.

## Signal routing

There are two types of switches typically used in switch matrices: Coaxial Electromechanical Switches and Solid State Switches, also known as electronic switches. Coaxial electromechanical switches can be further divided into two categories based on their architecture, latching relay and non-latching relay.

Solid state switches come in three types: PIN diode, FET, and hybrid. The advantages of solid state switches over EM switches are:

* They have much faster switching speed (at least 10,000 times faster)
* They have an almost infinite life
* They are very stable and repeatable

On the other hand, since solid state switches have non-linear portions over their frequency range their bandwidth is limited.

An electromechanical switch (EM) provides better:

For these reasons EM switches are used much more often in switch matrix designs.

## Example applications

Custom Switch Matrices are used extensively throughout test systems in the wireless and aerospace defense sectors for design verification and for manufacturing test. They have a wide range of complexity, from the simple to the complex.

* An example of a simple design switch matrix application would be a 1:16 MUX configuration that routes 12 satellite TV feeds into a single spectrum analyzer input that performs signal integrity checks on the satellite feeds. Such a design would require 5 Single Pole 4 Throw coaxial EM switches as well as the necessary interconnecting coax cable for the signal routing, along with a mechanical infrastructure, power supply, and switch driver circuit to mount, power, and operate the switches.
* An example of a more complex switch matrix is an application that is measuring jitter on multiple high speed serial data buses. First, the switch matrix receives the data bus signals, then provides the proper switching and signal conditioning for the signals before feeding the signals to the test and measurement instruments. This custom switch matrix would employ 14 EM switches and a number of different signal conditioners including: power splitters, amplifiers, mixers, filters, and attenuators.

RF Switch Matrices are also used heavily in the Television Broadcast market for the reception and re-broadcast of TV Channels. Typically a cable television headend will contain a matrix to enable multiple dishes that are aligned to different satellites to be routed to a bank of receivers. The RF Switch Matrix allows channel changes to be made remotely, without any interruptions.

## Design challenges

There are six main challenges when designing a custom RF/Microwave Switch Matrix from beginning to end:

1. *Mechanical Design:* design of an electrically shielded enclosure or box, internal component mounting brackets, with a component and cabling layout.
2. *RF/Microwave Design:* a signal routing and signal conditioning design and testing plan. A calibration plan for the switch matrix would need to be developed to properly characterize the signal paths.
3. *Power and Control Hardware*: The power supply and switch driver circuitry will need to be designed and developed.
4. *Software Control:* A software driver will need to be developed to provide an interface between the control hardware and test system program.
5. *Documentation:* The whole switch matrix design needs to be documented to support maintenance and possible future design leveraging.
6. *Servicing Plan:* A servicing plan needs to be developed to ensure the life of the switch matrix lasts as long as the life of the test system.

Test equipment manufacturers offer instruments that provide a power supply, driver circuitry, and software drivers that essentially saves a test system designer time and cost by eliminating two of the six switch matrix design challenges: power and control hardware design as well as software driver development.

Many companies have introduced new product concepts that aid in custom switch matrix design. These new products offer test system designers a power supply, driver circuitry, and software drivers all wrapped together in a mainframe. The mainframe provides flexible mounting for switches and other components as well as blank front and rear panels that can be easily modified to fit a design need. These new products eliminates 3 of the 6 design challenges: mechanical design, power and control hardware design, and software driver development

# John McCraw

**John Davidson McCraw** MBE CRSNZ (13 March 1925 – 14 December 2014) was a New Zealand pedologist, academic, and local historian, particularly of the Central Otago area. The McCraw Glacier in Antarctica is named for him.

## Biography

Born in Dunedin in 1925, McCraw was interested in science from an early age, becoming a member the junior group of the Otago branch of the Royal Society of New Zealand when he was 10 years old. He attended the University of Otago, from where he graduated with a Master of Science with second-class honours in geology in 1948.

McCraw then had a 20-year career as a pedologist with the Soil Bureau of the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research, based first in Alexandra in Central Otago from 1949 to 1963 and then in Hamilton. He led the Soil Bureau's first Antarctic expedition in 1959–60, undertaking soil surveys in the Taylor Valley and on the Ross Sea coast.

In 1968 McCraw earned a Doctor of Science degree from Victoria University of Wellington on the basis of 13 papers on soils in New Zealand and Antarctica.

McCraw was appointed as the foundation professor in the newly established Department of Earth Sciences at the University of Waikato in 1970, and served as the university's dean of science between 1975 and 1984. On his retirement from Waikato in 1988, McCraw was granted the title of emeritus professor.

In retirement, McCraw found the time to devote to researching the history of Central Otago, in which he had become interested during his time at the Soil Bureau in Alexandra. He went on to publish about a dozen books on the history of the area and the wider Otago region, and was acknowledged as the leading authority on the Alexandra district. He also wrote *The wandering river: landforms and geological history of the Hamilton basin*, published in 2011.

## History

Founded on 28 May 1925, Fearless were the second football club from Moengo. The first football club registered in the city of Moengo was Bauxite Star which was registered in March of the same year. However little is known about Bauxite Star today. The club members who were present at the clubs registration were H. Jurjens, W. Gersie, F. Gunther, E. Jie Sam Foek and J. Jie Sam Foek. Counting 21 official club members, the club reached its height of success in 1927.

The board of directors for Fearless was assembled as follows: J. Jie Sam Foek (chairman), F. Gunther (secretary), R. Thijm (treasurer), Anton Jie Sam Foek (commissioner), W. Gersie (commissioner). Commissioner Anton Jie Sam Foek was also a player and the team captain of the club.

The board underwent several changes in the first five years of the club, seeing W. Burside become chairman, D. Monnes the new treasurer and Tulberg appointed as commissioner.

By 1925, Fearless were able to beat teams from the capital city Paramaribo as well as beating teams from nearby Albina.
