Michelides Tobacco Factory. The Michelides Tobacco Factory building was an Interwar Art Deco building in Northbridge, Western Australia constructed in stages between the early 1920s and mid-1930s. The building was later known as the Peters Ice Cream Factory and the Tony Barlow Menswear Building. At the time of demolition, the factory was the only extant industrial building in Perth to be remodelled into the Art Deco style.

Construction
The first stage of the factory was constructed in 1922 by Michelides Ltd, a Western Australian tobacco company. The Premier of Western Australia, Sir James Mitchell opened the original factory in October 1922.

In 1934 a two storey extension to the factory was built on Roe Street next to the 1922 building. The extension was designed by the architecture firm Oldham, Boas and Ednie-Brown in the Art Deco style.

In 1936 the 1922 building on the corner of Lake and Roe Street was upgraded. This building was integrated with the 1934 building to form a single building. This addition was again designed by Oldham, Boas and Ednie-Brown.

Land use
The factory was built by Michelides Ltd, a company who grew tobacco and produced tobacco products. Prior to construction of the factory the Michelides had produced hand-made cigarettes, but with the introduction of mechanisation were able to increase their market share.

With the decline of the local tobacco industry, harvesting of tobacco ceased in late 1959, and cigarette production ceased early in 1960. The factory later became part of the Peters Ice Cream factory. The ice cream factory had started out on the corner of Milligan and Roe Streets and expanded its operations to take in the former tobacco factory.

After the departure of Peters for a site in Balcatta, the site was leased to Tony Barlow Menswear. The retailer left the building in 2009 after 20 years in Northbridge.

Heritage and demolition

In 2009 the City of Perth approved the demolition of the building suggesting that the art deco façade was not genuine and had been added in the 1980s. The approval was granted despite the proposed replacement building being twice the council's height limit. The development approval lapsed before the demolition could take place.

The building was classified by the National Trust of Australia in 2013.

In 2013 the Western Australian Heritage Minister decided against state heritage protection for the building.

The City of Perth council in January 2014 again approved the demolition of the factory, citing the lack of state heritage listing. This was despite a concerted effort by heritage groups, along with a social media campaign led by online history group "Museum of Perth", to save the building.

ICA IAR-35. The ICA IAR-35 is a Romanian glider designed and built in the 1980s primarily for aerobatics, though capable of general purpose use. Several production prototypes were constructed.

Design and development
The IAR-35 is an all-metal, single seat, short span glider developed for aerobatic flight.  Its three spar shoulder wing, with metal ribs and bonded metal skinning, has a constant chord centre section and tapered outer panels.  There is no dihedral on the centre section but 2° outboard.  The whole trailing edge is occupied by all-metal, statically balanced ailerons, each fitted with an automatic trim tab.  DFS (Schempp-Hirth) airbrakes extend both above and below the wings.

Its fuselage is a metal semi-monocoque with aluminium alloy framing and duralumin skin.  The cockpit is ahead of the wing with the pilot under a long, single piece Perspex canopy.  On the underside, below the wing there is a monowheel, fitted with a brake, which retracts behind a pair of doors.  The IAR-35 also has a fixed, semi-recessed tailwheel and a skid under the nose. The wing tips are protected by small, sprung balance wheels.  Its fuselage becomes more slender behind the wing, mounting a conventional empennage with tall, straight edged, swept vertical surfaces and a dorsal fillet.  The rudder is statically balanced and has a vertical trailing edge. A braced tailplane is mounted forward on the fin, a little above the fuselage, carrying similarly balanced elevators fitted with trim tabs.

The IAR-35 first flew in May 1986.  Only a few were built but four remained on the Romanian civil register in 2010.

1955 Altensteig mid-air collision. The Altensteig mid-air collision occurred on 11 August 1955 when two United States Air Force Fairchild C-119G Flying Boxcars collided and crashed three miles from Altensteig in West Germany. The aircraft were part of a formation of nine C-119s flying a training mission from Stuttgart-Echterdingen airfield, West Germany with troops from the United States Seventh Army. With all 66 on board both aircraft killed, it was, at the time, the deadliest air crash in Germany.

Accident
Just after 14:00 one of the aircraft on the right of a formation of three developed engine problems just after takeoff, when it was around 4,000 feet; it lost height, then climbed abruptly into the second aircraft, colliding in mid-air. The first aircraft, serial number 53-7841, crashed and disintegrated with the loss of all 19 on board. The second aircraft 53-3222 continued for a while before it also crashed about 30 miles from Stuttgart in a wooded area and burst into flames, killing all 47 on board.

Helicopters were sent to the scene, supported by fire engines and people from local villages to help with the search for survivors, none were found and the fireman were still fighting the blaze into the evening.

Aircraft
The two Fairchild C-119G Flying Boxcars were twin-engined military transport aircraft from the 60th Troop-Carrier Wing based at Rhein-Main airfield in West Germany.

Gallium(III) sulfide. Gallium(III) sulfide, Ga2S3, is a compound of sulfur and gallium, that is a semiconductor that has applications in electronics and photonics.

Structure
There are four polymorphs, α (hexagonal), α' (monoclinic), β(hexagonal) and γ(cubic). The alpha form is yellow. The crystal structures are related to those of ZnS with gallium in tetrahedral positions. The alpha and beta forms are isostructural with their aluminium analogues. The similarity in crystal form of gamma-   with sphalerite (zinc blende), ZnS is believed to explain the enrichment of gallium in sphalerite ores.

Preparation and chemical properties 
Ga2S3 can prepared by reacting the elements at high temperature or as a white solid  by heating Ga in a stream of H2S at high temperature (950 °C).

It may also prepared by a solid state reaction of GaCl3 and Na2S.

The method of production can determine the polymorphic form produced, the reaction of Ga(OH)3 with H2S at different temperatures is reported to produce a different polymorph depending on the temperature, α- 1020 K, β- 820 K and γ- above 873 K 

Ga2S3 decomposes at high temperature forming the non-stoichiometric sulfide, Ga4Sx (4.8 < x < 5.2).
Ga2S3 dissolves in aqueous acids and decomposes slowly in moist air forming H2S.

Ga2S3 dissolves in aqueous solutions of potassium sulfide, K2S to form K8Ga4S10 containing the (Ga4S10)8− anion which has an adamantane, molecular P4O10 structure.

Ternary sulfides MIGaS2, MIIGa2S4 and MIIIGaS3 respectively have been of interest due to their unusual electrical properties and some of these can be prepared by reactions of Ga2S3 with metal sulfides e.g. CdGa2S4:-
Ga2S3 + CdS → CdGa2S4

Although by itself Ga2S3 is not a glass former it can be reacted with rare earth sulfides to form glasses e.g. the reaction with lanthanum sulfide, La2S3, forms gallium lanthanum sulfide glass which has interesting optical properties and is a semiconductor.

Sensorization. Sensorization is a modern technology trend to insert many similar sensors in any device or application. Some scientists believe that sensorization is one of main requirements for third technological revolution.

As a result of significant prices drop in recent years there is a trend to include large number of sensors with the same or different function in one device. An example is the evolution of the iPhone.

Georg Sigl. Georg Sigl (13 January 1811, Breitenfurt bei Wien - 9 May 1887, Vienna) was an Austrian mechanical engineer and entrepreneur.

Life 
Sigl studied to be a locksmith, but later moved to Berlin where, in 1844, he established a small factory for the construction of printing presses. In 1846, he founded a second factory in Vienna.

In 1851, he moved the company to Währinger Straße (then on the outskirts of the city), where he manufactured steam locomotives such as the SStB – Gutenberg. In the early 1870s, he produced the first compaction-free, two-stroke locomotive engines, designed by automotive pioneer Siegfried Marcus. In 1861, he leased the Wiener Neustädter Lokomotivfabrik from the Creditanstalt and, by 1867, was its owner. It became the largest factory of its kind in the Empire and, by 1870, had produced its 1000th locomotive.

In addition to the locomotive trade, his factories also produced oil presses, marine engines, architectural support structures and equipment for amusement park rides. In 1872, he introduced the "Straßenlokomotive" (road locomotive), that looked like a steam roller and was put to use as a tow truck.

During the Panic of 1873, Sigl lost all of his holdings except his original Vienna factory. The Wiener Neustädter Lokomotivfabrik became a public company.

Honors 
 
 On 11 February 1870, he became an Honorary Citizen of Vienna. 
 In 1888, a street in Alsergrund was renamed the Georg-Sigl-Gasse.
 In 2011, the Österreichische Post issued a commemorative stamp for his 200th birthday.

Gordon Lynn Walls. Gordon Lynn Walls (April 4, 1905 – August 22, 1962) was an American professor of physiological optics and optometry at the University of California, Berkeley

Biography

Walls started his education at Boston English High School. He earned his B.S. as a mechanical engineer in 1926 at Tufts  College. In addition he was an undergraduate in biology and was awarded both the Goddard Prize and the Olmsted Scholarship in Biology. Walls decided not to pursue his career in engineering. Instead he entered Harvard on a graduate scholarship. His first studies dealt with  photomechanical changes in the retina, laying the fundaments of his career in vision. He continued his study of the retina as a graduate student (Sc.D. in zoology, 1931) and postdoctoral fellow (1931 to 1934, Alfred G. Lloyd and National Research Council Fellowships) at the University of Michigan and as an associate in zoology at the State University of Iowa from 1934 to 1937.

His interest in vision was confirmed during a four-year research associateship in ophthalmology at Wayne University College of Medicine and culminated with the publication in 1942 of his book The Vertebrate Eye and its Adaptive Radiation. This 785-page classic contains about 200 illustrations, many of which Gordon Walls drew himself. In 1946 he joined the Faculty of the School of Optometry at the University of California. He came to Berkeley as an associate professor of physiological optics and optometry and lecturer in physiology. He also taught courses in morphology and physiology of the eye, physiological optics, evolution of the visual system, and color vision. He was appointed professor in 1952. Walls died in 1962 by a heart attack.

Scientific contributions

In 1942 Walls published The Vertebrate Eye and its Adaptive Radiation a classic on eye physiology and evolution. In this book Walls described a diversity of rod cells and cone cells in the animal world. He detected the communalities of photoreceptor cells in the vertebrate eye and was first in describing the cone cell as a specialized cell, obviously evolved from an early rod cell. He described the nocturnal bottleneck hypothesis which states that placental mammals were mainly or even exclusively nocturnal through most of their evolutionary story, starting with their origin 225 million years ago, and only ending with the demise of the dinosaurs 66 million years ago.

In 1958 Walls wrote a chapter in The eye in evolution, the first volume (780 pages) of Stewart Duke-Elder's work System of Ophthalmology, a monumental multivolume contribution to medical literature. In all, he published more than sixty journal papers and monographs, one book, and chapters to three other books.
