title: Harrington–Birchett House

text:
The Harrington–Birchett House is a former residence in downtown Tempe, Arizona. Originally built in 1895, the house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.

History
The house was built in 1895 as part of the J.W. Harrington homestead. It was built by the Goodwin brothers, who were then operating a brick-making business in Tempe. In 1904, the house was acquired by Mattie Birchett, in the same year that her son, Joseph T. Birchett, married. Mattie, her husband Joseph and their family lived in the home until circa 1920, when Joseph retired from the Birchett Brothers mercantile store for health reasons.

After Mattie's death in 1925, the house became a rental property until Joseph T. and Guess Birchett reoccupied it in the early 1930s. Joseph T. was a partner in the mercantile store with his brother John, in addition to owning considerable real estate in the area; he was also a director of the Tempe National Bank and served as mayor of Tempe from 1912 to 1914. Guess was known locally as the "bird-lady" for her research on birds and nature; the United States Fish and Wildlife Service even designated her home as a federally protected bird sanctuary from 1940 to 1970. She was the sister of Honor Anderson Moeur, wife of Governor Benjamin B. Moeur. The family occupied the Harrington–Birchett home because of its proximity to her sister's family's house. She also participated in beautification efforts in the city of Tempe and was named its Centennial Queen in 1971. Guess died in 1979.

Ownership of the house passed to Arizona State University when it purchased the property in 1989. As part of improvements to the property related to the development of the College Avenue Commons building to the east, a non-contributing slump block garage built in 1937 was demolished.

Architecture

The Harrington–Birchett House was built as a brick Victorian cottage; however, a 1931 remodeling changed it into a Period Revival-style home with Tudor elements, including the enclosure of the house's porches. The house has an exterior coating of stucco over its brick face.

The house features an irregular plan with a steeply pitched hip roof. The front facade has a setback for the central entryway and again on the east end. The doorway is framed by two concrete steps and set into a semi-elliptical arch made of decorative brick. Wood-framed windows are either in double-hung or casement arrangements. A double garage at the rear of the house has two car doors.

Stylistically, the complete transformation of the home's architectural style is "unusual".

title: War Machine (album)

text:
War Machine is a 1980 studio album by Andrea True. It was her first and only solo LP, after two albums under the Andrea True Connection moniker released in the 1970s. War Machine was a departure from True's previous disco output, exploring new wave and rock music. The album is "dedicated to world peace and finding alternate solutions to energy problems and wars", with its title track carrying an anti-war message. The LP was released only in Italy by Italian label Ricordi International and was not commercially successful. It has never been released in any other format and is now a rare collectible item.

Singles
The title track "War Machine" was released as a single by Ricordi International in Italy in 1980, and was accompanied by a music video. "Make My Music for Me" was released as a single by Atom in Austria the following year. For some unknown reason, the label changed the name of the song, which had appeared on the album as "Makin' Music for Money". Neither of the two singles was successful in music charts.

title: Sunnyside (Woodbine, Maryland)

text:
Sunnyside or Sunnyside Farms is a historic slave plantation home located in Woodbine, Howard County, Maryland.

Sunnyside began as a log cabin built in 1800 by Capt. Banjamin Warfield of Cherry Grove's son Joshua Warfield. In 1830, Albert Gallatin Warfield expanded the home, and a second expansion was completed in 1890 by his son Joshua Warfield.

Albert Warfield was known for generously freeing his slaves at the age of 40, albeit at a time when life expectancy was shorter. His son Joshua Warfield operated a title company, and imported food waste for composting fertilizer for soil. The house later passed to Norman Hutton Warfield (1889 - 1955) who worked for the Federal Land Trust. The last Warfield heir to own the estate was the assistant states attorney for Howard County, Albert Gassaway Warfield III (-1983) who worked for Pierce, Fenner and Smith Inc. The farm is now known as Timberleigh Farm

title: The Best Night Ever

text:
"The Best Night Ever" is the first season finale of the animated television series My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. The episode follows Twilight Sparkle and her friends, who try to enjoy the Grand Galloping Gala separately. Each of them finds their expectations disappointed and inadvertently cause chaos through all their attempts to satisfy their wants. The episode aired on May 6, 2011, and was positively received.

Plot
The night of the Grand Galloping Gala in Canterlot has finally arrived. At the Gala, although Spike hopes to enjoy the Gala together, Twilight Sparkle and her friends quickly separate to enjoy it in their own ways, but each of them soon finds their experience fall well short of their expectations. Twilight intends to talk privately with Princess Celestia, however she is repeatedly interrupted by having to welcome other guests to the Gala. Rainbow Dash attempts to impress the Wonderbolts after their performance, however their time is continually taken up by other attendees. Rarity spends time with Celestia's nephew, Prince Blueblood hoping to fall in love with him, only to discover that he is self-absorbed and obnoxious. Applejack opens a stand to sell her family's apple products to the other attendees, but makes minimal sales. Fluttershy ends up scaring away the animals she wishes to see in the castle gardens. Pinkie Pie tries to become the life of the Gala, but learns that the Gala is a different kind of party than what she dreamed it would be.

As events mount, the friends' actions lead to a mass of chaos in the grand ballroom. They regroup with Spike later at a donut shop and express their disappointment with the night's events, but are soon joined by Princess Celestia, who explains that she had invited Twilight and her friends to liven up the normally boring Gala, and is happy with what happened. Everyone agrees the night to be the "best night ever."

Background
"The Best Night Ever" was directed by Jayson Thiessen (supervising) and James Wootton, and written by Amy Keating Rogers. The initial draft of the episode was thirty-nine pages long, six more than a typical My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic script; it included more extensive version of the "Piggy Dance", which was removed and instead appears in season two episode "Baby Cakes". Prince Blueblood, Rarity's selfish love interest, was originally meant to be a duke, but a member of the approval process believed the target demographic would be unfamiliar with the term. "The Best Night Ever" features three songs written by Daniel Ingram: "At the Gala", "I'm at the Grand Galloping Gala" and "Pony Pokey". Several songs were cut due to being too lengthy. "At the Gala", recorded at Bryan Adams's studio in Vancouver, includes a choir of twenty people with each main character singing a solo part. The song is also based on Stephen Sondheim's Into the Woods. Through this episode, ponies wear dresses, much of which was designed "almost like" four-legged humans.

Broadcast and reception
The episode aired on May 6, 2011, on The Hub. Sherilyn Connelly of SF Weekly called the it "the best My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic season finale ever". She praised the songs, particularly "At the Gala" and "Pony Pokey", finding the former showstopping, and the latter surprisingly deep and "saddest, most poignant song [Pinkie Pie will] ever sing". Screen Rant ranked the episode the fourth-best season finale according to IMDb.

Home media
"The Best Night Ever", along with four other episodes, was released in August 2012 by Shout! Factory as part of the "Royal Pony Wedding" DVD. It is also included in the company's complete season one collection and Madman Entertainment's season one boxset.

title: .318 Westley Richards

text:
The .318 Westley Richards, also known as the .318 Rimless Nitro Express and the .318 Accelerated Express, is a proprietary medium bore centerfire rifle cartridge developed by Westley Richards.

Design
Westley Richards introduced the .318, primarily for use in their M98 Mauser and later their P14 Enfield based bolt action sporting rifles.

The .318 Westley Richards is a rimless bottlenecked cartridge intended for big game hunting throughout the British Empire.  The bullet diameter is actually .330", the naming is due to British nomenclature which sometimes names cartridges by their land diameter rather than the more commonly applied groove diameter.

Westley Richards offered solid, soft-point or the revolutionary LT-capped bullets in two loadings, the more common being a  bullet with a listed speed of , whilst a lighter loading firing a  bullet at  was also offered for lighter game.  The 250gr bullet possessed high sectional density and thus excellent penetration.

History
In 1907 British authorities banned military-calibre sporting and hunting rifles in India and Sudan, including ones chambered in .375/303 Westley Richards Accelerated Express. That necessitated to develop an analog in another bore.

Even though most sources state the .318 Westley Richards was introduced in 1910, in fact a Westley Richards catalogue contains a testimonial from a satisfied customer dated March 1909 who used his rifle to take 10 elephants, indicating the cartridge must have been introduced by at least 1908.  Upon the introduction of the .318 Westley Richards, Westley Richards effectively stopped marketing their .375/303.

The .318 Westley Richards was one of the most popular medium-bore cartridges used in Africa, even after the introduction of the .375 Holland & Holland. As with many British proprietary cartridges, the .318 Westley Richards was forced into obsolescence when Kynoch suspended ammunition manufacturing in the 1960s. Kynamco resumed manufacture of the Kynoch range of cartridges in the 1990s meaning the ammunition is again commercially available, although no firearms manufacturers make factory rifles in .318 Westley Richards today with the exception of Westley Richards themselves..

Use
While the cartridge is not intended for dangerous game, it has been used successfully on all African game species up to and including elephant.  The cartridge was a contemporary of and very similar in performance to the .333 Jeffery, both were somewhat overshadowed by the arrival of the .375 Holland & Holland.

In his African Rifles and Cartridges, John "Pondoro" Taylor wrote that the 250gr .318 Westley Richards is "fully capable of driving its bullet the full length of a big elephant's body."

W.D.M. "Karamojo" Bell wrote that the .318 Westley Richards was a more reliable killer for certain shots on bull elephant than his favoured .275 Rigby, (7mm Mauser) but that he had trouble with misfires with the sporting .318 ammunition. By 1913 he had adopted the .318 in preference to his .275 Rigby-Mauser rifle. On one occasion Bell used a pair of .318 Westley Richards rifles to take nine elephants with nine shots, he later wrote "In my opinion, the 250gr .318, although far from perfect, approaches most nearly the big game hunter's ideal bullet".

James H. Sutherland, who over the course of his life shot between 1,300 and 1,600 elephants, used a .318 Westley Richards along with a .577 Nitro Express double rifle for all his African hunting, in a letter to Westley Richards he wrote "In open country, against Elephants and Rhinoceroses where the quarry is difficult to approach and long shots are often required I find that I can do all that is requisite with the .318 using of course, solid nickel covered bullets."

Bror Blixen once states that if he could only have one rifle with which to hunt it would be the .318 Westly Richards.

Other users of the .318 Westley Richards include Major G.H. Anderson who shot between 350 and 400 elephants; and Quentin Grogan who shot between 250 and 300 elephants.

title: Tai Webster

text:
Tai Jack Webster (born 29 May 1995) is a New Zealand professional basketball player for the Perth Wildcats of the National Basketball League (NBL). Prior to playing college basketball in the United States, Webster won a New Zealand NBL championship with the Auckland Pirates in 2012 and an Australian NBL championship with the Breakers in 2013 as a development player. He played four college seasons for the Nebraska Cornhuskers, earning second-team All-Big Ten as a senior in 2017. He played professionally in Germany and Turkey between 2017 and 2020.

Early career
Born in Auckland, Webster attended Westlake Boys High School where he led them to the National Secondary Schools Basketball Championships in October 2012, scoring 24 points en route to garnering tournament MVP honours. While attending Westlake, he played basketball for the North Harbour juniors; from 2010 to 2012, he played for the North Harbour U17s, U19s and U21s.

In 2012, Webster played for the Auckland Pirates, where in two games, he recorded a total of two points and two assists. The Pirates went on to win the 2012 championship with an 89–83 win over the Wellington Saints in the grand final.

In August 2012, Webster joined the New Zealand Breakers as a non-contracted development player for the 2012–13 NBL season. In December 2012, he signed a National Letter of Intent to play college basketball at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln.

In April 2013, Webster signed with the Waikato Pistons for the 2013 New Zealand NBL season. In 15 games for Waikato, he averaged 18.5 points, 3.9 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 2.0 steals per game. He had never heard of Nebraska when he was recruited, but signed with the team anyway.

College career

Freshman year
As a freshman for the Nebraska Cornhuskers in 2013–14, Webster was an immediate contributor, averaging 3.9 points, 2.1 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 32 games (30 starts) while helping the Huskers reach the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 1998. He led Nebraska with 63 assists and was also among the team leaders in steals. Webster reached double figures four times, including a season-high 14 points against Georgia, and paced the squad in assists eight times. His season-best was five assists on three occasions.

Sophomore year
As a sophomore in 2014–15, Webster emerged as one of for the Huskers , backing-up several starting guards Terran Petteway and Shavon Shields. He fell out of the rotation early in Big Ten play but found a role as the Huskers' energy guy off the bench and his improved defense showed in other facets of his game. In 30 games (four starts), he averaged 3.9 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 18.4 minutes per game. Webster called the season "hugely disappointing" since his work in practice did not translate to higher production than as a freshman.  !

Junior year
As a junior in 2015–16, Webster joined the Nebraska starting lineup. He averaged 10.1 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.9 assists in 27.7 minutes per game.

Senior year

As a senior in 2016–17, Webster averaged 17.0 points, 5.1 rebounds and 4.0 assists in 34.7 minutes per game. Leading up to the NBA draft, many thought Webster could be a "second-round sleeper."

title: Mandy Bujold

text:
Mandy Marie Brigitte Bujold (born 25 July 1987) is a Canadian former amateur boxer. She won gold medals in the women's flyweight category at the 2011 and 2015 Pan American Games and won a bronze medal at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. She competed at the 2016 Summer Olympics and competed at the delayed 2020 Summer Olympics following an appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

Career
Bujold was coached by the late Adrian Teodorescu, who had previously coached Lennox Lewis. Bujold has won the Canadian National Championships on 11 occasions. In 2006, she won the Canadian Junior National Championships.

Bujold made her first senior international appearance at the 2008 AIBA Women's World Boxing Championships. She won a gold medal in the women's flyweight category at the 2011 Pan American Games. She was not selected for the 2012 Summer Olympics. At the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Bujold won a bronze medal, after losing to Briton Nicola Adams in the semi-finals. In the same year, Bujold finished fourth at the 2014 AIBA Women's World Boxing Championships. She won another gold medal at the 2015 Pan American Games. She was critical of a proposal to remove head protection for amateur boxers, and at one point, she threatened to retire if the rule was enacted.

In July 2016, she was officially named to Canada's Olympic team, after having won the Olympic qualifying event in Buenos Aires in March 2016. She was one of three Canadian boxers at the Games and was considered Canada's best boxing medal prospect. During the Games, she was hospitalized for one night with gastroenteritis. She lost  of liquid from her body. She lost in the quarter-finals of the competition, having only left the hospital two hours before the fight commenced. Following the Games, she took some time away from boxing. She withdrew from selection for the 2018 Commonwealth Games after being told that she would need to live in Montreal; she had previously been selected in the squad.

In December 2019, Bujold won the Canadian Olympic qualification tournament. She was scheduled to participate in the 2020 Summer Olympics qualification event in May 2021 before the event was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) chose to instead consider results from 2018 and 2019, which meant that Bujold was not considered, as she had been pregnant and on maternity leave during that period. Bujold, supported by Canadian Minister of Canadian Heritage Steven Guilbeault, the Canadian Olympic Committee (COC), and Boxing Canada, appealed to the IOC to reconsider this decision but received no reply. Bujold appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS); on 30 June 2021, CAS awarded her a place at the Games. The court ruled that the qualification system must accommodate pregnant or postpartum women during the qualification period. The COC released a statement supporting the CAS outcome. At the Games, Bujold lost her first-round match to Serbian Nina Radovanović.

Bujold announced her retirement from boxing after the 2020 Summer Olympics.

Personal life
Bujold was born in Cobourg, Ontario, and now lives in Kitchener, Ontario. Aside from boxing, she has worked for Communitech. In November 2018, her daughter was born.

title: Norman Belcher

text:
Norman Belcher (10 July 1879 – 31 January 1947) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Geelong  and Essendon in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

Belcher was the son of George Frederick Belcher (Mayor of Geelong) and attended Geelong Grammar School where he captained the school football team.

Belcher played two games for Geelong in 1899 before joining the army and serving with the Australian Commonwealth Horse mounted infantry unit in the Second Boer War. Upon his return in 1902, he again played for Geelong but transferred to Essendon for the 1904 VFL season. Despite positive reports, he failed to establish himself in the side and returned to Geelong. He played two more games for Geelong in the 1906 season.

When World War I commenced, Belcher was quick to offer his services (including his motor car). He served in the Automobile Corps from 1914 to 1916.

Outside football, Belcher established an auctioneer business in Geelong with his brother. An active sportsman, Belcher also served on the committees of the Geelong Racing Club and Geelong Golf Club. Norman Belcher died in 1947.

title: Gallery Software

text:
Gallery software is software that helps the user publish or share photos, pictures, videos or other digital media. Most galleries are located on Web servers, where users are allowed to register and publish their pictures.

Gallery software usually features automatic image resizing, allows digital media be categorized into sets, and allows comments.

There are several types of gallery software.

Early digital media publishing and sharing was done with imageboards. The boards are by topics, sometimes called "chan". Each discussion in a "chan" are started with a piece of digital media, and follow-up discussions can contain another piece too. Software works in this way: Futallaby, Danbooru.

Traditionally, galleries are managed. An administrator maintains a set of or hierarchy of albums. The users can upload their digital media in one of the existing albums defined by an administrator, or create their own albums. The users with sufficient permission can re-categorize the digital media others uploaded. Often, the site's administrator can define which album the users are allowed to categorize their media into, or delete other user's content. Examples are open source galleries Coppermine, Gallery Project.

There are decentralized gallery software that does not have an administrator for managing contents. Pinterest, Flickr and DeviantArt has been successful with this model. Open source gallery software MediaGoblin works in this way. Each user can create their own "collections", to categorize theirs or other users' media. However users cannot put media into other user's collections. Each user's category is separate. There is no centralized theme or hierarchy for the media.

title: Dhurwai State

text:
Dhurwai was a princely state in India during the British Raj. It was one of the Hasht-Bhaiya Jagirs, under the Bundelkhand Agency of British India. Its capital was the town of Dhurwai, with a population of 777 in 1901. Today it is part of Jhansi District, in the state of Uttar Pradesh. Dhurwai was administered by the native ruler, who was addressed as Indian Prince by the British authorities.

History
Dhurwai State was founded in the Bundelkhand region in 1812 by a descendant of the royal family of Orchha Diwan Rai Singh of Baragaon near Jhansi. He had 8 sons who were granted Jagirs, including Dhurwai, Bijna, and Tori Fatehpur.

The state was located on the eastern part of Jhansi Province, bounded by the British United Provinces of Agra and Oudh on all sides except on the east where it shared a border with the states of Bijna and Tori Fatehpur.

title: Triantha racemosa

text:
Triantha racemosa, commonly called the coastal false asphodel or southern bog asphodel, is a species of flowering plant in the Tofieldia family. It is native to the Coastal Plain of the Southeastern United States, although there are a few disjunct populations inland. It is found in acidic wetlands, including wet barrens and savannas.

Triantha racemosa produces a raceme of white flowers in mid-summer. An intermediate population that suggests a transition to the more northern Triantha glutinosa is found in the New Jersey Pine Barrens.

title: Geoff Marslett

text:
Geoff Marslett is an American film director, writer, producer, animator and actor. His early career started with the animated short Monkey vs. Robot which was distributed internationally by "Spike and Mike's Classic Festival of Animation" on video. and "Spike and Mike's Sick and Twisted Festival of Animation" in theatres. More recently he directed several successful narrative feature films including MARS  as well as producing and acting in the experimental documentary Yakona. He appears onscreen in Josephine Decker's Thou Wast Mild and Lovely which is being released theatrically in 2014. He currently resides in Austin, Texas and splits his time between filmmaking and teaching at the University of Colorado at Boulder.

Bio
Geoff Marslett grew up in North Texas. After high school he studied philosophy and math at St. John's College in Santa Fe, New Mexico and Annapolis, Maryland where he earned his BA from their Great Books Program in 1996. In 2000 he received his MFA in film production from the University of Texas at Austin.

Career
While in graduate school he completed his first animated short Monkey vs. Robot (not to be confused with Nate Pommer's live action version that came out a few months later). This -minute short was based on a song by musician and comic artist James Kochalka. The short was completed in 1999 and went on to play over a dozen major film festivals including Palm Springs Shorts Festival (1999), The Dallas Video Fest (1999), Taos Talking Pictures Film Festival (2000), South by Southwest Film Festival (2000), and Slamdance Film Festival (2001). It won jury awards at MicroCine Film Festival in Baltimore, Maryland and CinemaTexas in Austin, Texas  and was then included as a part of Spike and Mike's Classic Festival of Animation vol. 7 and "Spike and Mike's Sick and Twisted Festival of Animation" in theatres. It also appeared on television including airing on PBS' Egg Arts Show, Univision, and HBO Central Europe. It won jury awards at Cinematexas Film Festival and Microcine Film Festival in 1999. The Phoenix New Times said "it should become the new national anthem"  and Cashiers du Cinemart said "that it's something I'd like to start my mornings with every day for the rest of my life."

MARS
Marslett's first feature film was the animated, sci-fi, romantic comedy MARS which premiered at the South By Southwest Film Festival in 2010. The film stars Mark Duplass, Paul Gordon, Zoe Simpson, Howe Gelb, Michael Dolan, Liza Weil, James Kochalka, Cynthia Watros, and Kinky Friedman  with appearances by Nicole Atkins and Don Hertzfeldt. MARS went on to play at over 50 festivals including BAMCinemafest, Sitges Festival International de Cinema Fantastic de Catalunya, BFI London Film Festival, Sidewalk Moving Pictures, and The Maryland Film Festival. It won several jury awards including honors from IndieMemphis, The Dallas Video Fest, The San Francisco Independent Film Festival  and Just For Laughs Chicago. It received generally favorable press including being called "realistic, but still stylized and dreamlike" by Wired. The Village Voice describes MARS as "an inter-planetary indie that takes place in a world—and a format—of his [Marslett's] invention" and calls the look and tone "spacey, soothing, and strange.". Time Out London writes "‘Mars’ isn't just visually striking, it's also full of humour, heart and super-cute cartoon Martians.", and New York Magazine made it a critics pick when it played in Brooklyn. MARS was often noted for its visual style that the Washington Post said "eschews the mildly trippy look in favor of bold outlines, solid colors and a comic-book sensibility".

The increasing popularity of Mark Duplass as an actor and the strange animation style have made the film something of a cult film for sci-fi genre fans four years later.

It is worth noting that Marslett also co-wrote (with Tray Duncan) some of the software they used to animate MARS.

Loves Her Gun
Marslett's second feature film was a live action drama Loves Her Gun in which all the dialogue was improvised. The film starred Trieste Kelly Dunn, Francisco Barreiro, Ashley Rae Spillers, Melissa Bisagni and Marslett. It premiered at The 2013 South by Southwest Film Festival. At SXSW Loves Her Gun won the prestigious Louis Black Lone Star Filmmaker Award. After playing a dozen Film Festivals and winning several additional awards it opened commercially in New York City. Though critics were more divided on this film than on Marslett's previous work, the majority gave it positive reviews. The New York Times made it a critic's pick and said Loves Her Gun is one of the most soothing examinations of fear you're ever likely to see. Adopting an appealingly low-key approach to a high-stakes subject, this gently observant drama from Geoff Marslett takes its sweet time introducing the girl to the gun, but when it does, we’re all but guaranteed to care." Think Progress referred to it as "An essential film about women and violence". However, The Hollywood Reporter said the "Meandering film is at odds with its subject's psychological tension." The actors' performances and Marslett's direction of them were praised even by critics who had other critiques of the film.

Yakona

Marslett worked as one of the producers of the feature-length documentary Yakona (directed by Anlo Sepulveda and Paul Collins). Yakona premiered at the South by Southwest Film Festival in 2014  and won the Audience Choice Award for the Visions category. Yakona is an experimental documentary told from the point of view of the San Marcos river without the use of dialogue or voice overs. Yakona won additional awards at the Oak Cliff Film Festival for Best Documentary and the Muybridge Award for Best Cinematography  and at The Rainer Independent Film Fest for Best Cinematography. Yakona made its Canadian premiere at the Vancouver International Film Festival  and was the closing night film for Diego Luna and Gael Garcia Bernal's traveling documentary film festival Ambulante, California in Los Angeles.

The Phantom 52
The animated short film premiered at Sundance in 2019. The film is about a lonely trucker who is whalepromorphized. He may be a ghost or possibly a whale who speaks in a frequency no other whale can hear. The film is partially based on a real whale (often referred to as the loneliest whale). The film stars Tom Skerritt.

Quantum Cowboys
This hybrid animation-live action feature film stars Lily Gladstone, Kiowa Gordon, John Way, Gary Farmer, Neko Case, John Doe, Howe Gelb, Alex Cox, Patrick Page, Trieste Kelly Dunn, Frank Mosley and David Arquette. It is also the final screen appearance of Anna Karina. It is a physics western and premiered at the Annecy Film Festival in 2022 where it won the best music award.

Acting
Marslett has also appeared in front of the camera in several productions. He appears briefly in his own film MARS as Casey's dad and has a supporting role in his own film Loves Her Gun as Danny. He also plays the angry grad student in his segment of the Slacker 2011 remake of Richard Linklater's 1991 film Slacker.  He has acted for other directors. He played the Shanty Santa in the short film The Quiet Girl's Guide to Violence which premiered at the 2012 Fantastic Fest. His comedic effort in SXSW 2012's Theatre Bum film bumpers was popular enough that it was included again in 2013's collection of best bumpers from the last 20 years. He played Jack "Coffee" Hays in the reenactments for the feature documentary Yakona. He appeared as Richard in Josephine Decker's Thou Wast Mild and Lovely which premiered at the Berlin Film Festival in 2014 and is being released in theatres by IFP  as part of the Screen Forward program. He has also appeared in Izzy Shill's feature film Going Nowhere in 2022 as well as portraying the Unabomber (Ted Kaczynski) on the television program Murder Made Me Famous.

Other film-related work
All of Marslett's films (as a director or producer) including MARS, Loves Her Gun, Yakona, and his Slacker 2011 segment have been noted for their strong attachment to and representation of the locations they take place in. They are also noted for their sense of whimsy and their meandering and soothing tone. His continuing work in independent film earned him a spot on Filmmaker Magazine's "25 New Faces of Independent Film" in 2009

Marslett has served on the jury for several festivals including The South by Southwest Film Festival, Hell's Half Mile, Cine Las Americas, Anchorage Film Festival, Palm Springs Short Film Festival and Future Places (in Porto, Portugal). He is also on the ambassador's council for the Cucalorus Film festival in Wilmington, North Carolina.

Teaching
In addition to making films, Geoff has taught in the Radio-Television-Film department at The University of Texas at Austin since 2001. In 2009 he was awarded the university's top undergraduate teaching award "The Board of Regents Outstanding Teaching Award".
He also taught at Carnegie Mellon School of Drama. He is currently an Associate Professor at the University of Colorado at Boulder Cinema Studies and Moving Image Arts Department.

title: A. J. Preller

text:
A. J. Preller (born June 20, 1977) is the president of baseball operations and general manager of the San Diego Padres of Major League Baseball (MLB). He was hired by the Padres on August 5, 2014 while serving as the assistant GM for the Texas Rangers, overseeing the player development and scouting departments and serving as a key advisor on all player acquisitions. At the time, he was 36 years old.

Early years
Preller was born in 1977 to parents Arthur and Joan. He grew up on Long Island, New York, and went to school in South Huntington, New York, where in 1995 he graduated from Walt Whitman High School. He attended Cornell University, where he met Jon Daniels, and graduated summa cum laude with a B.S. degree in 1999. After graduation, he served as an intern with the Philadelphia Phillies before joining the front office of the Los Angeles Dodgers, and also worked for Major League Baseball.

Front office career

Texas Rangers
In 2004, Preller was hired as Director of International and Professional Scouting by the Texas Rangers. While at Cornell, he was a fraternity brother of Texas Rangers general manager Jon Daniels. Preller reached the position of assistant GM with the Rangers before leaving for San Diego.

San Diego Padres
On August 6, 2014, the Padres announced the hiring of Preller as their new general manager. His hiring concluded a six-week process that commenced on June 22 after San Diego dismissed Josh Byrnes following a two-plus year tenure, with Preller agreeing to a five-year deal. The Padres also interviewed Kim Ng, Billy Eppler, and Mike Hazen. Preller made numerous transactions over the 2014-2015 offseason in what came to be known as "Prellerpalooza." He traded Yasmani Grandal to the Los Angeles Dodgers for Matt Kemp and Tim Federowicz. He partook in a three team trade for Wil Myers and Ryan Hanigan, surrendering five players (including Trea Turner) in the process. He traded prospects to the Braves for Justin Upton. He signed James Shields to a 4-year contract. He made several smaller moves as well, as he launched the Padres into playoff talks before the season began. He concluded the offseason by trading for Braves closer Craig Kimbrel just hours before the season opened on April 5.

Despite his off-season trades, the Padres in June 2015 were still underperforming. This was one of many factors that led to the firing of manager, Bud Black, on June 15, 2015.

On September 15, 2016, Preller was suspended for 30 days by MLB without pay for failing to disclose medical information, regarding the trade that sent Drew Pomeranz to the Red Sox.

On December 3, 2017, Preller was given a 3-year extension to remain as the Padres general manager.

In 2018, MLB Pipeline ranked the Padres farm system No. 1 with seven prospects among their top 100 prospects: Fernando Tatís Jr. (No. 8), MacKenzie Gore (No. 19), Luis Urías (No. 36), Cal Quantrill (No. 40), Michel Báez (No. 42), Adrian Morejón (No. 50), and Anderson Espinoza (No. 89).

On February 19, 2018, the Padres signed Eric Hosmer to an eight-year, $144 million contract, the largest in club history at the time. On February 21, 2019, the Padres signed Manny Machado to a 10-year, $300 million contract, at the time the biggest free-agent contract in the history of American sports.

In 2020, the Padres went 37–23, finishing with a winning record for the first time since 2010. They went on to the playoffs, marking their first postseason appearance since 2006 and defeated the St. Louis Cardinals in the 2020 National League Wild Card Series, their first postseason series win since the 1998 NLCS.

On February 2, 2021, the Padres extended Preller through the 2026 season and promoted him to president of baseball operations. On February 17, the Padres extended Tatís to a 14-year, $340 million contract, at the time the third-biggest deal in MLB history. On November 1, 2021, the Padres announced Bob Melvin would be the team's new manager, replacing the fired Jayce Tingler.

On August 2, 2022 Preller completed a blockbuster trade with the Washington Nationals for Right fielder Juan Soto and First baseman Josh Bell. In exchange, the Nationals received Luke Voit and top prospects CJ Abrams, MacKenzie Gore, James Wood, and Jarlin Susana. On December 9, 2022 Preller signed longtime Boston Red Sox Shortstop Xander Bogaerts to an 11-year 280 million contract.
