A VR version of the music video was also made.

# Dorothea Chalmers Smith

**Elizabeth** "**Dorothea**" **Chalmers Smith** *née* Lyness (1874 – 1944) was a pioneer medical doctor and a militant Scottish suffragette. She was imprisoned for eight months for breaking and entering, and attempted arson, where she went on hunger strike.

## Early life

Born in Dennistoun, Glasgow, Elizabeth Dorothea Lyness graduated from medicine from the University of Glasgow in 1894, and worked at the Royal Samaritan Hospital for Women in Glasgow.

She married Reverend William Chalmers Smith, minister of Calton Church, Glasgow in 1901. They had six children born between 1900 and 1911.

## Political Activity

Chalmers Smith joined the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) in 1912, but her enthusiasm for extreme militancy was not welcomed by her husband, who believed adamantly that a woman's place was in the home.

Chalmers Smith, alongside artist Ethel Moorhead, attempted to set fire to a house at 6 Park Gardens in Glasgow on 23 July 1913. They were caught red-handed by multiple witnesses. In one room firefighters found matches, firelighters, six flasks of paraffin, candles, and a postcard bearing the words: 'A protest against Mrs Pankhurst's re-arrest'.

The case was tried in the High Court at Jail Square and hundreds of Suffragettes attended the trial. Chalmers Smith and Moorhead both conducted their own defence and refused to plead. Moorhead interrupted the Judge saying "We do not want to hear any more. We refused to listen to you. Please sentence us."

When both women were sentenced to eight-months imprisonment, the women rose from all sections of the court and protested, crying out "Pitt Street, Pitt Street" whilst others starting throwing apples at the Judge and counsel.

Both women went on hunger strike immediately. When they became physically weak they were released from prison under the Prisoners (Temporary Discharge for Ill Health) Act **,** known as th**e** Cat and Mouse Act, which was introduced in April 1913, and allowed for the re-arrest of prisoners once their health improved.

Detectives were posted on the door of her house to make sure that she did not escape. She managed to escape on occasion by dressing up in her younger sister's school uniform.

Chalmers Smith had been given a Hunger Strike Medal 'for Valour' by WSPU.

## Later life

Chalmers Smith and her husband divorced after the First World War, it is said due to pressure from the Kirk Session (parish group) at a time that it was difficult for a Church of Scotland minister to do so. She left with her three daughters, but she was not allowed to see her three sons again.

After the Great War, Chalmers Smith worked in the newly established child welfare clinics in Glasgow. She did pioneering work in child-care and raised her daughters to be doctors. She died in 1944, and her silver WSPU Hunger Strike medal was donated to the People's Palace by one of her daughters. These medals were first presented by the WSPU at a ceremony in August 1909.

The Suffragette Oak on Kelvinway was planted in 1918 to celebrate women’s first opportunity to vote in a general election and stands as a memorial to the likes of Helen Crawfurd, Dorothea Chalmers Smith, Jessie Stephen and Frances McPhun.

# Hush Hush (Alexis Jordan song)

"**Hush Hush**" is a song by American recording artist Alexis Jordan, taken from her self-titled debut album (2011). It was released as the album's third single on June 10, 2011. The dance-pop song was written by Autumn Rowe, Stargate and Sandy Vee. Alexis called the song "feisty" and that it was a song that "unleashes a fiery side of her personality".

## Background

Speaking in May 2011 to urban writer Pete Lewis of *Blues & Soul*, Jordan described the lyrical background to the song: "It's really dealing with the situation where - if you've been hurt, or someone's treated you wrong or cheated on you in a relationship - you're basically saying 'Be quiet! I don't wanna hear it! I'm gonna move ON!'... So what I particularly liked about the song is that it's a very powerful statement for anybody who's been in that kind of situation."

## Production

"Hush Hush" is written by Autumn Rowe, StarGate and Sandy Vee, and it was produced by Stargate and Sandy Vee. When premiering the song with Digital Spy, Jordan discussed the song. "The thing I love about this track is that it has a dance beat that is irresistible. You can't not dance to it! It's also quite fierce and feisty, but in a fun and positive way." Discussing the recording process of the record, she insisted: "It was a very calm and fun process. I was always in the studio smiling! It was something that I felt so blessed to be doing - it never felt like a chore. I am thankful to the whole team around me though, we mesh very well together."

## Reception

### Critical reception

BBC Music described the production as "clattery", while praising the strength and soul in Jordan's vocals as "empowering". Lewis Corner of Digital Spy gave the song four stars out of five and wrote, ""Hush, hush, hush/ You know I'm coming for ya/ Tough, tough, tough," she threatens over a relentless Stargate-helmed disco riff and dance beats that pack more camp oomph than a Pineapple Dance Studios session with Louie Spence." 4Music's David Griffiths called the song "another dancefloor-friendly pop track that will have you on your feet in seconds."

### Chart performance

The song peaked at number 36 in Ireland, and 66 in the UK from strong downloads from the album, almost one month before the official release. The song peaked on number 12 in The Netherlands.

## Music video

The music video for the song was uploaded to YouTube on 6 May 2011 and lasts four minutes and six seconds. The music video was directed by Clifton Bell.

# Andrzej Kondratiuk

**Andrzej Lech Kondratiuk** (20 July 1936 – 22 June 2016) was a Polish film director, screenwriter, actor, and cinematographer.

## Biography

Kondratiuk graduated from the National Film School in Łódź in 1963.

Andrzej Kondratiuk created low-budget films, and, in scenarios, often used threads from his biography. He often selected actors and individuals from the immediate surroundings, including amateurs. Some of his films were created in Gzowo near Pułtusk.

Although some of his films, such as *Wniebowzięci* and *Hydrozagadka*, are classified as cult films and were often award-winning, they are not box office films. Many of his earlier films were short etudes.

## Private life

He was the older brother of film director Janusz Kondratiuk and was married to the actress Iga Cembrzyńska.

# EATPUT

The **EATPUT** model is a model for analyzing an information system designed by Anthony Debons of the University of Pittsburgh's School of Information Science in 1961. It has been widely used in the fields of information systems and information science, in a variety of areas. One example is the use of the model in the design of information systems to serve remote islands.

The EATPUT model is so called because of the six fundamental components, which taken together form the acronym EATPUT.

## Event

The Event Phase details occurrences relevant to the information system and their representation to the information system. Representation to the system could take many forms such as sound or digitally coded data, depending on the information system. For example, a weather predicting machine's event could be an increase in humidity, represented to the system as directly as an increase in water vapor in the air.

## Acquisition

The Acquisition Phase is the sensor of an information system. The Acquisition Phase is where the system captures its data pertaining to the Event Phase. Continuing with the example of a weather predicting machine, the increase in water vapor in the air is detected by an instrument on the device.

## Transmission

Transmission actually occurs between each phase, but its most important (and most aesthetically pleasing to the acronym EATPUT) occurrence is the one between the Acquisition and Processing phases. Transmission is a fairly straightforward concept; it is how the different components and phases of an information system communicate with each other. Continuing with the weather predicting machine example again, the water vapor sensors might code the information digitally (this process itself would require yet another information system) and send it to the next phase.

## Processing

Processing is where the data is ordered, stored, retrieved, and operated on appropriately in order to form knowledge. The amount of humidity can be compared to past years and general meteorological principles in order to analyze the event of higher or lower humidity and translate it to something more useful (e.g. "the humidity is 60%).

## Utilization

The Utilization Phase of the system evaluates and interprets the Processing Phase's result. 60% humidity might mean that the chance of a thunderstorm is higher.

## Transfer

The Transfer Phase is the action component of the system, the implementation of the knowledge the other phases have generated. Perhaps the weather predicting machine, as it becomes more and more certain a severe thunderstorm is likely, will notify a human that can declare an appropriate storm warning or use the information for the television weather forecast.

# All India Muhammadan Educational Conference

The **All India Muhammadan Educational Conference** was an organisation promoting modern, liberal education for the Muslim community in India. It was founded by Sir Syed Ahmed Khan, also the founder of the Aligarh Muslim University. All India Mumammadan Educational Conference was the origin of the All-India Muslim League. The Muslim League was born in the 20th session of All India Muhammadan Educational Conference, which was established by Syed Ahmed Khan in Aligarh in 1886. Muhammadan Educational Conference used to hold its annual meetings in various cities where, by the co-operation of local Muslims, steps were taken for the progress of education.

## History

The Muhammedan Educational Congress was founded in 1886. It was renamed the Muhammedan Educational Conference in 1890. The first conclave of the organisation was held in December 1886 at Aligarh and was presided by Maulvi Samiullah Khan. The second conclave concluded in December 1887 at Lucknow.

## Aims

The principal aims of the Conference were:

* To make an effort to spread among the Muslims western education to the higher standard.'
* To enquire into the state of religious education in English schools founded and endowed by the Muslims, and to find out means to conduct it in the best possible way.
* To give some strengthened support to the instruction voluntarily imparted by Muslim divines in religious and other oriental learning's and adopt some measures to maintain it as a living concern.
* To examine a state of education and instruction in the indigenous primary schools and take steps to remove their present state of decay in directing them onto the path of progress.

## The 1906 conference

After the Congress sponsored agitation against the partition of Bengal (1905) an All India Muhammadan Educational Conference was held at Shahbag in Dhaka, capital of the then East Bengal and Assam Province in the year 1906. The conference was sponsored by Nawab Khwaja Salimullah the Nawab of Dhaka. The conference was inaugurated on 27 December 1906 and continued till 29 December 1906 as Conference on Education. The inaugural session was chaired by Nawab Justice Sharfuddin, the newly appointed justice of Calcutta High Court.

Those assembled met again on 30 December 1906, the day after the conclusion of the Educational Conference. The assembly was chaired by Nawab Viqar-ul-Mulk. At the meeting a motion to form an All India Muslim League (AIML) was passed. Initially a party styled as *All India Muslim Confederacy* was discussed. But, in the process the name *All India Muslim League*, proposed by Nawab Khawaja Sir Salimullah Bahadur and seconded by Hakim Ajmal Khan, was resolved in the meeting. All delegates were registered as members of the proposed party led by Janab Muhsin-ul-mulk and Janab Viqar-ul-mulk was Joint Conveners.

AIML was first Muslim political party in the history of India. From the even date Muslims of all Indian provinces were under the mainstream political umbrella of Muslim League until independence achieved in the year 1947 under the leadership of Muslim League. Awami Muslim League and Awami League was also formed as a late production of the party in the Pakistan Period. In Indo pak Bangla sub continent those parties have the part *League* possess heritage of Muslim League till date. Political awareness, eagerness and rising of Muslims was organised and institutionalised from the starting point of establishing *All India Muslim League*.

### Venue

The place where All India Muhammadan Educational Conference were held was known to all as Ishrat Manzil, a mansion of the Dhaka Nawab Family that was later donated for the establishment of the Dhaka University. After 5 years of this conference in the year 1911 Partition of Bengal was annulled in the Delhi Durbar. In the year 1912 A delegation headed by Khawaja Nawab Sir Salimulla met Lord Hardinge Lt. Governor, to the same venue demanding establishment of a university at Dacca and it was agreed. Upon whom present Dhaka University was started its functioning on 1 July 1921 in the same venue. Now the Eshrat Manzil lapsed its heritage, fame and name of Dhaka's Nawab family and prevailed as a canteen named *Madhur Canteen*.

### Delegates

A total of 1955 delegates attended the event. The conference was attended by most of the Muslim *zamindars*, educationists, pleaders, and other leaders of the community. The programme was attended among others by:

# Divini Redemptoris

***Divini Redemptoris*** (from the incipit "Divini Redemptoris promissio", Latin for "the promise of a Divine Redeemer") is an anti-communist encyclical issued by Pope Pius XI. It was published on 19 March 1937. In this encyclical, the pope sets out to "expose once more in a brief synthesis the principles of atheistic Communism as they are manifested chiefly in Bolshevism".

Mariano Cordovani O.P. (February 25, 1883  April 4, 1950) professor of dogmatic theology at the College of Saint Thomas, the future Pontifical University of Saint Thomas Aquinas, *Angelicum* from 1912 to 1921 and Master of the Sacred Palace under Pope Pius XI contributed especially to the encyclical and afterward published his *Appunti sul comunismo moderno* treating the Church's position on communism.

## Description

The encyclical describes communism as "a system full of errors and sophisms" that "subverts the social order, because it means the destruction of its foundations".

Pius XI goes on to contrast Communism with the *civitas humana* (ideal human civilization), which is marked by love, respect for human dignity, economic justice, and the rights of workers. He faults industrialists and employers who do not adequately support their workers for creating a climate of discontent in which people are tempted to embrace Communism. He refers to two earlier papal writings on this topic, *Rerum novarum* and *Quadragesimo anno*.

The work expresses concern at the growth of communism in the Soviet Union, Spain, and Mexico, and it condemns the Western press for its apparent "conspiracy of silence" in failing to cover such events in those countries. It was published five days after the publication of the more controversial *Mit brennender Sorge* encyclical, which condemned the German Nazi regime and ideology.

***Don't Open Till Christmas*** is a 1984 British slasher film directed by Edmund Purdom, and starring Purdom, Alan Lake, Belinda Mayne, and Gerry Sundquist. Written by Derek Ford and Alan Birkinshaw, the film follows a mysterious killer murdering Santa Claus impersonators in London during Christmastime.

## Plot

A man in a Santa suit and a woman meet in an alleyway to have sex in a car, and are stabbed to death by a man wearing a grinning translucent mask. During a party, another man dressed like Santa Claus has a spear thrown through his head, and dies in front of his daughter, Kate Brioski. At Scotland Yard, Chief Inspector Ian Harris and Detective Sergeant Powell discuss the murders, and interview Kate, and her boyfriend Cliff. That night, another Santa is killed, having his face shoved onto the grill on which he was roasting chestnuts on an open fire.

The next day, a present (which reads "Don't Open Till Christmas") is delivered to Harris, Powell receives a strange call from a man claiming to be a reporter named Giles, and a Santa is shot in the mouth. Cliff tricks Kate into visiting a porn studio owned by an old friend, and after Kate storms off, Cliff and the model (who is adorned in a Santa cloak) prepare for outdoor photographs, but Cliff runs off when a pair of police officers spot them, and the model encounters the killer, who lets her go.

At a peep show, a Santa is knifed, which is witnessed by one of the strippers, Sherry Graham. Harris visits Kate and Cliff, and makes it clear that Cliff is a suspect in the attacks, due to being present for two of them. Powell finds Giles digging through his office, and tells him that the newspaper Giles stated he worked for claimed not to know him. Giles retorts by suggesting that Harris is hiding something, and that Powell should keep an eye on him. A Santa is assaulted by a group of teenagers, and runs into the London Dungeon, where he and an employee are killed.

In an effort to catch the murderer, several officers go undercover as Santas, and two of them are butchered at a carnival. The killer then abducts Sherry, intending for her to be "the supreme sacrifice to all the evil that Christmas is". Meanwhile, Harris is taken off the case, and when Kate calls him, she is informed by his housekeeper that he is visiting Parklands, a mental institution. A Santa is chased into a theatre where Caroline Munro is performing, and his body is brought to the stage by a trapdoor after he is stabbed in the face with a machete. Kate tells Powell of her suspicions about Harris (who has no birth certificate) but he dismisses her theories, so she goes to visit Parklands alone, while the killer castrates a Santa in a department store restroom.

Kate is confronted in her home by Giles, who she had learned was just released from Parklands, and is the younger brother of Harris (who changed his surname from Harrison after Giles was committed). Powell telephones Kate, and she tries to answer, but Giles strangles and stabs her. Powell hears Kate's death over the phone, rushes to Kate's apartment, and pursues Giles into a junkyard, where Giles electrocutes him.

Giles returns to his hideout, which he chases Sherry through when she escapes her chains. Sherry knocks Giles over a railing, and when she goes to inspect the body, Giles springs back to life, and begins throttling her. A flashback is then shown, and reveals that decades earlier Giles walked in on his father (who was dressed as Santa for a Christmas party) cheating on his mother with another woman. When Giles's mother discovered this, she and her husband got into an argument, which ended with Mrs. Harrison being knocked down a flight of stairs.

Harris wakes up from a nightmare, goes into his living room, and unwraps the gift he had gotten earlier, which has a previously unseen card that reads "Christmas present from your loving Brother". The present is a music box, which explodes after playing its song.

## Production

Principal photography began in December 1982 and concluded in early 1984. The film notably had numerous production issues such as conflicts between the producers and director and star, Edmund Purdom. These issues would constantly result in filming dates being delayed and scheduling issues. Eventually, Purdom quit the production and writer Derek Ford was hired to take over the directing but he would be dismissed after only two days. The film's editor, Ray Selfie was then hired afterwards to direct and Alan Birkinshaw was hired to rewrite the majority of the script. Because of Purdom's departure, many scenes in the movie had to be reshot or cut all together (including a key scene featuring the character of Dr. Bridle portrayed by Nicholas Donnelly) This resulted in the recasting of numerous characters since many original actors were not available to return for reshoots. However, Purdom would eventually return to the production to finish directing and reprising his role as Inspector Harris. This resulted in the production using the original ending as written before Purdom's departure.

Alan Lake, who portrays Giles Harrison, committed suicide shortly before the film was released in the wake of the death of his wife Diana Dors earlier in 1984.

## Release

The film was distributed theatrically in the United States on 19 December 1984 by 21st Century Film Corporation, opening in New York City.

### Home media

It was first released on VHS in the United States and United Kingdom by Vestron Video. Since then the film is believed to be in the public domain as numerous entertainment companies have released it on DVD.

Vinegar Syndrome released the film on Blu-ray on 25 October 2022.

## Critical reception

DVD Verdict called the film "barely watchable", concluding "there's very little redeemable about *Don't Open Till Christmas*, but for exploitation die-hards, Dick Randall's productions are always worth watching for a lot of blood, sex, and a few laughs". Hysteria Lives! gave the film 1.5 out of 5 stars, writing: "Words can hardly begin to say how truly bad this movie is! It is a Christmas turkey (with side trimming of cheese, natch) par excellence!"

# Hush Kids

**Hush Kids** is an American indie folk/alt-country band from Nashville, Tennessee, formed in 2018 by Jill Andrews and Peter Groenwald. The group released a self-titled album on October 26 that was produced by Ian Fitchuk. Hush Kids later released an extended play titled *Weatherman* on October 1, 2021.

## Career

Prior to the duo formation, Andrews and Groenwald had long been known for their personal musical projects, with Andrews as a founding member of The Everybodyfields and Groenwald as a collaborator with various artists like John Mayer and The Civil Wars.

The duo met through their respective publishers in 2014 and have been called the “songwriting blind date that paid off.” Although the union was created a few years later, their first writing session proved fruitful when “What’s Your Hurry” was written. That same song eventually landed on *Hush Kids*, their self-titled debut album, four years later. Groenwald told Billboard, “Jill was the one who said, 'and we should start a band!' I felt like I couldn't say no, because she clearly has a lot going on and it's her idea to do this. I had to say yes.”

# Andrzej Konopek

**Andrzej Konopek** (30 November 1920 – 27 November 2007) is a former Polish footballer who played as a midfielder. Konopek's career spanned over 20 years and was split between 3 teams.

## Biography

Born in Kraków, Konopek started his career with his local team Zwierzyniecki Kraków. While his career was spent playing in the lower divisions of Polish football, Konopek was involved in a footnote of Polish footballing history. As the war was coming to an end the reintroduction of football in Poland was discussed. On 28 January 1945, 10 days after the liberation of Kraków, four teams in the city came together to play their first games since the outbreak of the war in 1939. The four teams were Cracovia, Juvenia, Wisła, and Zwierzyniecki. The first game of the day was Juvenia vs Zwierzyniecki, and it was the first football game in Poland since the outbreak. Konopek was involved in the game, which finished 2–2, with Konopek scoring both of Zwierzyniecki goals. This means that not only was Konopek involved in the first football game since 1939, but he may have also been the first goal scorer.

Konopek remained with Zwierzyniecki until 1947, when he moved to Hutnik Nowa Huta. After being with Hutnik for 2 years, he moved to the newly promoted I liga side Lechia Gdańsk. Konopek made his top division debut on 15 September 1949 against ŁKS Łódź. He went on to make 6 appearances for Lechia that season, but with the club being relegated Konopek returned to Hutnik Nowa Huta. After spending a few more years with Hutnik, Konopek returned to the North of Poland and rejoined Lechia. He spent 3 years with Lechia but failed to make any further appearances for the club. In 1955 he returned to the club where he started his career, spending the final 5 years of his career with Zwierzyniecki Kraków before retiring in 1960.

title: Dying Slave

abstract:
The Dying Slave is a sculpture by the Italian Renaissance artist Michelangelo. Created between 1513 and 1516, it was to serve with another figure, the Rebellious Slave, at the tomb of Pope Julius II. It is a marble figure 2.15 metres in height, and is exhibited at the Louvre, Paris. In 1976 the art historian Richard Fly wrote that it "suggests that moment when life capitulates before the relentless force of dead matter".
However, in a recent scholarly volume entitled The Slave in European Art, Charles Robertson discusses the Dying Slave in the context of real slavery in Italy during the era of the Renaissance. Fourteen reproductions of the Dying Slave adorn the top storey of the 12th arrondissement police station in Paris. Although Art Deco in style, the building was designed in 1991 by architects Manuel Núñez Yanowsky and Miriam Teitelbaum.

# (U)SIM interface

The **(U)SIM interface** is the connecting point of the mobile phone and the UICC with its SIM or USIM application.

## Standardisation of the (U)SIM interface

The UICC with the SIM or USIM application plays an important role in mobile telephony as it is the secure element identifying a subscriber in the network and allowing MNOs to bill the respective account. Hence it is crucial to have standardised features e.g. placing phone calls or sending SMS working throughout the global network with all available handsets and (U)SIM cards resp. UICCs. Developing globally applicable standards for communication technologies is the task of standardisation bodies such as ETSI (European Telecommunications Standards Institute, 3GPP (Third Generation Partnership Project) and 3GPP2 (Third Generation Partnership Project 2). In case of the (U)SIM interface, the most important specifications are:

## Standardisation of test scenarios

To ensure that actual implementations of such standardised features are interoperable, the standardisation bodies also create so called test specifications. These document detail exact procedures on how to test that an implementation under test acts according to conformance requirements. Important test specifications for the (U)SIM interface are:

## Type approval for mobile terminals

Before mobile network operators select new handset types to be offered to their customers, they want to be sure the new handset will support all features and work in combination with new and existing UICCs. Hence, they request the manufacturers to perform those test cases defined by the standardisation bodies. Therefore, certification organisations such as the GCF (Global Certification Forum), CCF (CDMA Certification Forum) and PTCRB (PCS Type Certification Review Board) have been founded. These organisations are associations of the leading network operators, device manufacturers and other stakeholders such as test system suppliers and test houses. They select relevant test cases and define an independent certification programme for handset type approval.


title: Dyckman Oval

abstract: Dyckman Oval was a sports venue in the Inwood neighborhood of Upper Manhattan in New York City. It was most commonly known as a home for Negro league baseball, but was frequently used for other events, including boxing, cricket, wrestling, football, soccer, amateur baseball, and even ice skating competitions. It existed from about 1915 through 1937. The park was on a roughly triangular block bounded by Nagle Avenue and the elevated tracks of the subway's Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line; 204th Street; 10th Avenue; and Academy Street. The address of the park was sometimes given as Dyckman Street, farther to the southwest. The Dyckman train station provided easy access to the park. The park was also about a mile south of Baker Field, the athletic fields for Columbia University. Most sources list Dyckman's seating capacity as around 4,500. Some sources say the capacity was later expanded to 10,000. An early newspaper reference to the park appeared in the Brooklyn Standard Union for June 3, 1915, reporting on an amateur ball game between two local clubs. As early as 1917, games played by the independent black team called the Cuban Stars were being advertised in local newspapers. The Stars joined the Eastern Colored League in 1923 and operated through 1928. They also played one year, 1929, in the American Negro League. They were then independent during the 1930s. Games involving various Negro League teams were also staged there. A number of them were night games, as Dyckman Oval had acquired lights in 1930, several years before the major league New York area teams did. The Cubans' owner, an entrepreneur named Alejandro Pompez, had a side business in the numbers racket. This eventually got him into legal trouble, and he had to abandon the team. The days of Dyckman Oval came to an end. The stands were demolished sometime during the off-season of 1937–1938. A writer for the New York Age on April 2, 1938, p.8, lamented having gone to the ball field and finding it gone. Very few photos of this park exist. One widely-circulated photo shows the outside of the main entrance at Nagle and Academy. The block is now mostly occupied by the Dyckman Cornerstone Community Center and its basketball courts. The Monsignor Kett Playground sits where the left field area once was.

# Aldebaran-class frigate

The ***Aldebaran* class** was a class of three frigates/corvettes/destroyer escorts operated by the Italian Navy. They entered service in 1951, with the last one being decommissioned in 1976.

## History

The *Aldebaran* class consisted of three former United States Navy ships: USS *Thornhill* (*Aldebaran*), USS *Gandy* (*Altair*) and USS *Wesson* (*Andromeda*) transferred to the Italian Navy in 1951. These ships in the United States Navy were classified as destroyer escorts and belonged to the *Cannon* class, built in large series during the Second World War and then supplied in several different marine units (Mutual Defense Assistance Program).

The three ships entered service in the Navy together with the *Artigliere*-class units as part of a naval upgrade program started in 1950; they were first used as escorts, from 1957 as frigates and from 1962 as corvettes, a role held until the moment of decommissioning.

Units of this class take their names from three *Spica*-class torpedo boats lost during World War II.

abstract: Hulsebos-Hesselman axial oil engines were five cylinder, four stroke, wobble plate engines that originated in and were used throughout the Netherlands during the late 1930s. Numerous patents can be found concerning this engine, all of which appear to attribute the engine's "wabbler" operating principles to the inventor Wichert Hulsebos.

# Hulsebos-Hesselman axial oil engines

**Hulsebos-Hesselman** axial oil engines were five cylinder, four stroke, wobble plate engines that originated in and were used throughout the Netherlands during the late 1930s. Numerous patents can be found concerning this engine, all of which appear to attribute the engine's "wabbler" operating principles to the inventor Wichert Hulsebos.

## Combustion system

This engine used the Hesselman engine low compression combustion system where oils of varying grades were sprayed into the cylinder during compression but ignition was initiated and assisted by a spark plug. Overhead inlet and exhaust valves, water cooling and a magneto for ignition were standard features.

## Dimensions

The capacity of 4 litres was achieved with a bore of 95 mm and a stroke of 114 mm and it made use of a compression ratio of 6 to 1. Power output was said to be 70 bhp at 2400 rpm.

## Wobble plate arrangement

The wobble plate arrangement cleverly employed a bevel gear set to prevent its rotation around the crankshaft. One bevel gear was fitted to the rear of the wobble plate itself and meshed with another which was fixed to the main body of the engine.

## Production

They were manufactured by Hulsemo N.V., Casimirlaan 5, Arnhem, The Netherlands, and were exhibited in the Berlin and Amsterdam Shows during 1938.

## Cast

## Production

It was released in New York City and Los Angeles on May 29, 1987.

## Reception

### Critical response

Michael Wilmington of the *Los Angeles Times* called the film "a low-budget *Deliverance*-derived rural thriller, basted with Southern Comfort." Wilmington stated, "The photography may be a bit muddy, but Robert C. Hughes' direction is coherent and well paced. The script is tight and the dialogue isn't idiotic — except where it's supposed to be. Some of the actors are fine. The movie holds your interest without rewarding it, though it's sometimes an interesting critique of machismo, laced with dark humor."

Scott Drebit of *Daily Dead* described the film as "a backwoods hicksploitation actioner that more than gets by with a cast handpicked by the B movie gods and a script wittier than it has to be." Drebit also wrote, "*Hunter's Blood* very much deserves to sit on a shelf next to *Rituals* and *Just Before Dawn* as a stellar backwoods horror; the ending alone has a delicious punchline (pun intended) that every horror fan will love."
