About halfway through my April 13 photos and calling it a night; Penn Nº 5 Ryan Taylor bounces the ball so Nº 16 Gavin Collins can bring it home past catcher Nº 19 Mark Quatrani -- can't stress too much how much fun it is to catch a game at Booth Field!

Batter 5 has his bat pointing diagonally up while there is a splash of dirt below the ball that just bounced off the ground, the catcher has his arm out behind him and another Penn player in a grey jersey and blue cap is getting ready to move while a referee in a black jacket looks on

Content warning: the following has just been posted:

Deep punches the ball back into the stumps at the non-striker's end but Tongue is unable to get any skin on it. It looked like Gill had got his bat behind the line regardless.

Es gibt genau ein Kuchenrezept, das ich regelmäßig praktiziere, und es erfüllt mich mit Stolz, dass mich mein älterer Bruder, versierter Freizeitkonditor, nach dem letzten solchen Ereignis begeistert um das Rezept bat. #OrangenMandelKuchenUltras

Exploring the Origins of Optical Variability in AGNs: Correlations with Black Hole Properties, X-ray, and Radio Emission
We study the optical variability characteristics of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) from the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) AGN catalogue by utilising approximately five years of optical light curves from the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) survey. We investigate dependencies of the long-term optical variability amplitudes and timescales on (i) supermassive black hole (SMBH) mass, luminosity, and Eddington ratio to explore the influence of accretion disk dynamics and radiative processes; (ii) X…

Swinging, Fast and Slow: Interpreting variation in baseball swing tracking metrics
In 2024, Major League Baseball released new bat tracking data, reporting swing-by-swing bat speed and swing length measured at the point of contact. While exciting, the data present challenges for their interpretation. The timing of the batter's swing relative to the pitch determines the point of measurement relative to the full swing path. The relationship between swing metrics and swing outcomes is confounded by the batter's pitch recognition. We introduce a framework for interpreting bat tra…
