  • MHA Newsletter July 2015
    MHA Newsletter No. 6/2015 www.mha.org.au July 2015 Merħba! A warm welcome is extended to all our June 2014 members and friends. THE MALTESE HISTORICAL Joe Borg’s lecture about the great Siege on 16 June June 2014 was well attended, and he has sent us a summary of his ASSOCIATION (AUSTRALIA) talk. A link to the PowerPoint and lecture recording are provided in case you missed it. After the lecture, two invites you to attend the new members joined the MHA, Marie Pirotta and John Melbourne launch of the Bonnice. I am sure you will make them feel welcome, with true Maltese hospitality. John contributed the commemorative book: excellent pictorial essay on Fort St Elmo to the last newsletter. Malta and the ANZACS - You may recall that at our last AGM the MHA agreed to Nurse of the Mediterranean help sponsor the publication of Frank Scicluna’s book, Malta and the ANZACS - Nurse of the Mediterranean. It has finally been released. As an individual sponsor, I have already received a copy, which I have reviewed on page 6 of this newsletter. In a word, it is superb! The Maltese Consul General, Mr. Victor Grech, will officially launch the book in Melbourne at our next meeting on 21 July. The author, Frank Scicluna OAM, will be in attendance, speaking about his book and will be bringing copies for sale. It is a public event, so tell everyone you can think of. Malta’s role in World War I makes me particularly proud of my Maltese heritage. Joe Borg’s third lecture on the Great Siege was originally scheduled for this month but will be postponed to September.

  • Escape from Colditz Castle
    NATIONAL CENTER FOR CASE STUDY TEACHING IN SCIENCE Escape from Colditz Castle by Rachael A. Lancor and Brian R. Lancor Department of Chemistry, Geoscience, and Physics Edgewood College, Madison, WI Introduction Colditz Castle was a German prison camp during the Second World War. The castle was an ideal prison because it was located on a rocky outcrop, and had walls up to seven feet thick. Because of this, the prison was home to many prisoners who had previously attempted escapes from other POW camps. In 1945, a group of British prisoners led by Bill Gold- finch and Jack Best hatched a plan to escape by building and launching a glider off of the roof of the castle. The photo above (Figure 1) depicts the castle during World War II. The roof where the glider was to be launched is circled in red. Goldfinch and Best found a book on aircraft design in the prison library, which they used to help them design the glider. The glider was constructed in a hidden attic room from materials they could find in the castle—bed sheets, floorboards, even porridge stolen from the mess hall (Figure 2). The plan was to use a pulley system to launch the glider off of the roof of the castle, and land in a nearby field. On April 16, 1945, American troops invaded the castle and freed the prisoners; they never had a chance to test their glider. Recent- ly, a group of engineers decided to build a glider using materials that would have been available to the prisoners.

  • Tunis's New Mosques Constructed Between 1975 and 1995: Morphological Knowledge
    TUNIS’S NEW MOSQUES CONSTRUCTED BETWEEN 1975 AND 1995: MORPHOLOGICAL KNOWLEDGE Imen Cherif National School of Architecture and Urbanism University of Carthage Tunis, Tunisia [email protected] Najla Allani Bouhoula National School of Architecture and Urbanism University of Carthage Tunis, Tunisia [email protected] Received: March 27th 2015 ; Accepted: April 27th 2015; Available Online: June 15th 2015 Abstract The mosque has always been a prominent unit that used to structure the old Islamic cites. Its architecture through the Muslim world has always aroused the interest of many researchers. Actually, mosques are still built while undergoing the changes which occurred on the modern societies. However, only few research who have been interested in the new mosques. This paper targets the architecture of mosques built in Tunis governorate between 1975 and 1995. Through a morphological analysis of 24 mosques we were able to determine their identity and their morphological structure. According to their form and position, we discovered classes of specimen and classes of segments. Our corpus presents several constants and variations that we can explain though the introduction of some extrinsic attributes. In fact, these architectural objects possess some morphological specifications related to some urban, functional and historical factors. Keywords: New mosque; Tunis governorate; morphological structure; form; position Introduction Applied to a corpus of 24 mosques, this The mosque is considered as the main method allows us to define their characteristics in a manifestation of Islamic art. There are many systematic identification process. It is therefore researches that were interested in these applied to understand the combinatorial systems of architectural objects.

  • Escape from Colditz 7 August 2012
    Escape from Colditz 7 August 2012 was called, represents an incredible feat of aeronautical engineering - particularly since it had to be built in secret in a tiny attic using homemade tools and improvised materials like bed boards, sleeping bags, gramophone springs and porridge! Unfortunately, the war ended before the Cock ever had the chance to stretch its wings and no one knows if the crazy idea would have actually worked...until now. Led by Cambridge engineer extraordinaire Dr Hugh Hunt (also seen in Dambusters: Building the Bouncing Bomb and Image: Dr Hugh Hunt in the rebuilt Colditz glider Credit: Digging the Great Escape), a team of daredevil Channel 4 engineers attempt to rebuild the glider in the very same loft in Colditz, using similar materials to the wartime POWs and comparable homemade tools. Luckily, our modern day escapers are able to follow Colditz Castle, one of the most notorious prisoner in the footsteps of their intrepid forebears. Quite a of war camps in Nazi Germany, was supposed to bit is already known about the glider and how it was be escape-proof. But in the dark days at the end of built; there are the original plans and there is even World War II, a group of British officers dreamt up a snapshot of it. the most audacious escape plan in history. However, once they've finished building the plane, In a secret workshop in an attic in the castle they the team will take an almighty leap into the constructed a two-man glider out of bed sheets unknown.

Methods of siege warfare and siege defense before and after the advent of artillery are compared. Literary research conducted describes evolutionary changes made in the engineering design of fortifications. The Venetian influence in the design of Famagusta's defensive structures due to the progression of Fourteenth to Sixteenth century military warfare demonstrates the effect engineering technology has on society. CHAPTER I Introduction Engineering design change has been a result of technological advances made by societies, both past and present. During the Renaissance period in the Mediterranean, the city of Venice (Fig.
