# Battle of Hysiae (c. 669 BC)

A Battle of Hysiae is recorded by Pausanias as having been fought at Hysiae in the Argolis, possibly c. 669 BC during the rule of the Argive tyrant Pheidon. One of the few major setbacks suffered by the Spartans in conflict with their neighbors, the battle was mentioned by Pausanias as a significant victory for Argos. Pausanias reports no details of the battle, although he was shown the burial-site of the Argive dead.
Nothing else is known about the conflict, except that the location in the Argolis suggests the repulse of a Spartan invasion. Hysiae was a stronghold located to the southwest of Argos and east of Tegea, near the border with Sparta. Modern scholars suggest that the battle marked a turning point in military history, because their defeat led the Spartans to change their military strategy, adopting the phalanx of hoplites in place of the loose spear-throwing formations prevalent until then. In the centuries to come, the phalanx revolutionised warfare in the classical world.

## Battle

Conventional warfare at this time usually involved armies meeting in an open field. The reason why the Argives chose to give battle at Hysiae is unclear. By this time, the aspis, a shield of Argive design, gave their army an advantage over the Spartans, who were annihilated by their opponents. If the battle occurred within the walls of Hysiae, the Spartan army could have been packed in by the proto-phalanx employed by the Argives. This formation may have been the invention of Pheidon.

### Sources

This battle, recorded only by Pausanias about eight hundred years later, is not to be confused with the battle that occurred there in 417 BC, recorded by Thucydides shortly afterwards. Pausanias relates:
   Here are common graves of the Argives who conquered the Lacedaemonians in battle at Hysiae. This fight took place, I discovered, when Peisistratus was archon at Athens, in the fourth year of the twenty-seventh Olympiad, in which the Athenian, Eurybotus, won the foot-race. On coming down to a lower level you reach the ruins of Hysiae, which once was a city in Argolis, and here it is that they say the Lacedaemonians suffered their reverse.
The fourth year of the twenty-seventh Olympiad corresponds with 669 or 668 BC. The dating of the Argive tyrant Pheidon is very uncertain, but some scholars have suggested that this Argive defeat of Sparta occurred when Pheidon was king of Argos, since Pheidon was famed for his military success and daring. Some scholars suggest that the battle of Hysiae was invented by the Argives, or that Pausanias misunderstood what he had been told.
# King Arthur Was a Gentleman

King Arthur Was a Gentleman is a 1942 British black-and-white comedy musical film directed by Marcel Varnel and starring Arthur Askey, Evelyn Dall, Peter Graves and Ronald Shiner. It was written by Marriott Edgar and Val Guest, and was produced by Edward Black and Maurice Ostrer for Gainsborough Pictures.

## Plot

In the Second World War, the undersized Arthur joins the army to prove himself to his girlfriend Susan, who is in the same unit as him. Here, his idealistic notions about King Arthur prompt his messmates to trick him into believing that a sword they have dug up is the fabled Excalibur. Armed with this talisman, Arthur strides forth to deal with the Wehrmacht.

## Cast

* Arthur Askey as Arthur King
* Max Bacon as Maxie
* Al Burnett as Slim
* Evelyn Dall as Susan Ashley
* Vera Frances as Vera
* Peter Graves as Lance
* Brefni O'Rorke as Colonel Duncannon
* Anne Shelton as Gwen Duncannon
* Ronald Shiner as Sergeant
* Jack Train as Jack
* Victor Feldman as young drummer with Maxie
* Freddie Crump as himself, drumming

## Soundtrack

* Arthur Askey – "You Know What King Arthur Said"
* Arthur Askey – "Honey On My Mind"
* Anne Shelton – "Why Can't It Happen To Me?"
* Evelyn Dall – "You'll Love The Army"
* Evelyn Dall – "Got A Bee In My Bonnet"
* Evelyn Dall – "Actions Speak Louder Than Words"

## Reception

The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "Arthur Askey's admirers will appreciate King Arthur was a Gentleman to the full, for, apart from a few impersonations by Jack Train, and some outbursts of amusing backchat from Max Bacon, he carries the comic side of the film single-handed for the whole of its 99 minutes. That part of the film which describes Arthur's trials in camp is undoubtedly the funniest, since with the change of scene 'out East' the plot wanders and the end comes somewhat as an anti-climax. Evelyn Dall as Arthur's girlfriend is notable chiefly for her crooning ability, and both she and Anne Shelton take advantage of the opportunities which Manning Sherwin's excellent musical score gives them."
In British Sound Films: The Studio Years 1928–1959 David Quinlan rated the film as "average", writing: "Some funnyy scens and good songs, but overlong and missing opportunities to indulge in fantasy."
Leslie Halliwell said: "Not-too-successful attempt to turn a music hall comedian into a figure of Chaplinesque pathos."
The Radio Times Guide to Films gave the film 2/5 stars, writing: "This is as likeable as any flag-waving comedy, with Arthur Askey as the cheery Tommy who is convinced he has found King Arthur's sword Excalibur and is invincible. This could have done with fewer songs and more gags."
# Kindred of the Dust

Kindred of the Dust is a 1922 American silent drama film directed by Raoul Walsh, and starring his wife Miriam Cooper. It was based upon the novel of the same name by Peter B. Kyne. The film was the last independent picture for Walsh's production company, and the last film he and Cooper would make together. Today it is one of Walsh's earliest surviving features, and is one of only two non-D. W. Griffith features of Cooper's that still is known to survive.

## Plot

As described in a film magazine, upon discovering that her husband is a bigamist with a son, Nan (Cooper) goes back with her infant son to her father. She of course is ostracized by the local church people. When Donald McKaye (Graves) returns from college, he is the first to give her sympathy and understanding. Young McKaye loves Nan and wants to marry her, but his father, The Laird of Tyee (Belmore), has other more ambitious plans for his son and his mother and sisters resent the idea of the mother of a nameless child becoming the wife of the McKaye heir. Nan is ready to give him up, and when Donald yields to his father's wishes and goes to a mountain hut to think it over, she slips away. Donald falls victim to a fever and is taken to a hospital. After resorting to everything else, the mother swallows her pride and sends for Nan, for whom Donald calls constantly. Her presence restores him. The family gives her a cold "thank you" which drives Donald to the final break with his father. He marries Nan and is disinherited. The old Laird refuses to soften, even when, after the man falls into the river from a motor boat headed for the logging camp when a huge log comes down the chute and hits it, the son plunging into the river and saves the father's life. Reconciliation finally comes after a son is born to Donald and Nan.

The film ended up being Walsh's final independent production and was the last time Cooper and Walsh (who had made several films together) worked together. The film was one of Cooper's last films as she retired in 1923.

## Release

The film was released on February 27, 1922. Cooper felt it was mediocre but the film performed decently at the box office. The film still exists and was restored in 2004, is one of the few films from Walsh's early years to survive, and is also one of only two surviving films from Cooper's starring years. The film has been screened at a few film festivals since its restoration but has not been released for home video.

# Straw man proposal

A straw-man (or straw-dog or straw-person) proposal is a brainstormed simple draft proposal intended to generate discussion of its disadvantages and to spur the generation of new and better proposals. The term is considered American business jargon, but it is also encountered in engineering office culture.
Often, a straw man document will be prepared by one or two people prior to kicking off a larger project. In this way, the team can jump start their discussions with a document that is likely to contain many, but not all, of the key aspects to be discussed. As the document is revised, it may be given other edition names such as the more solid-sounding "stone-man", "iron-man", and so on.

## Origins

The expression was already in use in the United States Department of Defense circa 1975 in their Large Organization Model Building paradigm (LOMB) and was apparently in use with this meaning (initial proposal) in the United States Air Force before that. The succession of names comes from the requirements document for the programming language Ada. In the High Order Language Working Group (HOLWG) the process to define Ada generated requirements documents sporting different names, representing the various stages of development of the Ada language, as described in 1993 by Col William Whitaker in an article ACM SIGPLAN Notices. They are:
* STRAWMAN issued in April 1975
* WOODENMAN issued in August 1975
* TINMAN issued in January 1976
* IRONMAN issued in January 1977 (revised in July 1977)
* SANDMAN not published but circulated in January 1978
* STEELMAN issued in June 1978
* PEBBLEMAN issued in July 1978
* PEBBLEMAN Revised and issued in January 1979
* STONEMAN issued in February 1980

## Software development

In software development, a crude plan or document may serve as the strawman or starting point in the evolution of a project. The strawman is not expected to be the last word; it is refined until a final model or document is obtained that resolves all issues concerning the scope and nature of the project. In this context, a strawman can take the form of an outline, a set of charts, a presentation, or a paper.
The ‘Straw Man’ also fits in neatly with the concept of iterative design, repeating and re-drafting to improve an initial concept or design. If anything is built, often, it may not end up in the final product. It might be that the decision is to not continue at all, in which case, the ‘Straw Man’ approach may have saved a lot of wasted work in the long run. Or, the final approach may be very different from the first model. Either way, the ‘Straw Man’ will have proven its worth by having re-directed the approach before any significant work is undertaken.
# Bob Carr Theater

28°32′52″N 81°23′2″W﻿ / ﻿28.54778°N 81.38389°W﻿ / 28.54778; -81.38389
Bob Carr Theater (originally the Orlando Municipal Auditorium and formerly the Bob Carr Performing Arts Centre) is an auditorium located in Orlando, Florida. Opening in 1927, the venue is currently owned by the City of Orlando and in 2013, the site was integrated into the Creative Village Development plan.

## History

The venue was proposed in 1925 after the city saw a population boom in the early 1920s. In 1926, the land reserved for the Orange County Fair was used for the auditorium. The venue opened on February 21, 1927, with a performance of Aida by the La Scala Grand Opera Company. Throughout the years, the venue became an entertainment mecca, with performances by: Marty Robbins, Andy Griffith and Elvis Presley.
In 1974, the Orlando City Council decided to renovated the auditorium and transform it into a state of the art theater and concert hall. Renovations began October 1975. In May 1978, the venue was christened the "Mayor Bob Carr Performing Arts Centre", in honor of Bob Carr (mayor of Orlando from 1956 to 1967).
The structural and technical changes to the theater helped it become the home to the Orlando Ballet, Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra, Festival of Orchestras and Broadway Across America. With the opening of the Dr. Phillips Center in 2014, many performances held here were moved to the new theater. Dance recitals and orchestral shows were moved to the Steinmetz Hall in 2019.
The Bob Carr Theater was integrated into the Creative Village district of downtown Orlando, a mixed use commercial and residential development.

### Future use

In 2023, Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer announced that the development plan would include converting the Bob Carr Theater into a "town square" for technology in the downtown district.

# Sons (1996 film)

Sons is a 1996 Chinese film directed by Zhang Yuan. Detailing the collapse of a family due to alcoholism, Sons straddles the line between fiction and documentary, as the film's "actors" all play themselves in reenactments of their own lives.
Zhang came upon the idea of making a film about a family's collapse into alcoholism after hearing about the story of his downstairs neighbors, former professional dancers, and their two grown sons.
The film was privately financed and was made outside of the traditional studio system. As a result, Sons was never screened in China.

## Cast

* Li Maojie, the father, a former professional dancer, he has long since succumbed to alcoholism and is eventually committed to a mental asylum by his family. The father, Li Maojie, was given special permission to leave the mental asylum he had been committed to in order to film his scenes.
* Fu Derong, the mother, also a former dancer.
* Li Ji & Li Wei, Li Maojie and Fu Derong's two sons who have also begun to drink heavily. Both sons also helped guide the writing of the script by Ning Dai to accurately reflect what really happened to their family.

## Production

The idea of Sons came directly from the two sons of the Li family, Li Ji and Li Wei. According to Zhang, the two sons literally knocked on his door and immediately claimed that they were both the "baddest family on the block" and that their father, who had been committed to a mental institute, was also "awesome." Fascinated by this seemingly contradictory account of the Li family, Zhang agreed to make a film based on their story. In contrast to the sons, the parents of Li Ji and Li Wei were not in favor of making a film, and never fully accepted the idea of their lives being put down on film.
Shooting Sons required Zhang to simply film the Li family as they interacted with each other. In the process, Zhang became very comfortable with the family, to the extent that they would forget that cameras were around. Zhang relates one instance where the family's argument got so out of hand that Zhang had to intervene before the "actors" injured each other.

## Reception

Though never screened in its native China, Sons helped cement Zhang Yuan's reputation abroad as a major creative force in Chinese cinema. The film was screened in several international cities and film festivals including New York in 2001.
Sons was also one of the three Tiger Award winners at the 1996 International Film Festival Rotterdam, where it also won a FIPRESCI prize.
As for the family, the parents, Li Maojie and Fu Derong, never fully accepted the film. According to Zhang, after watching the film, "the entire family seemed to be under a heavy silence, and I could detect traces of hurt and melancholy on their faces."
