Letter to the Guardian.
The protection of badgers has a long pedigree (Report, 29 August). Arthur Gore, known as "Boofy", the eighth Earl of Arran, was a fanatical defender of them. He was also a tireless campaigner for the rights of homosexuals. In 1967 he managed to push through a law in the Lords that decriminalised homosexuality but failed to pass a bill to outlaw the cruel hunting of badgers. When asked why he had not received enough support for his badger bill, he replied: "Not many badgers in the House of Lords." Tony Lywood Keswick, Cumbria
Found when sorting an old drive. I still, very occasionally, say 'not many badgers in the House of Lords' and this is why:

indicated non-stationarity. Starc's speed required a closer look at the possible level shift around the 70th over. I ran a Kurozumi unit root test with a break occuring at the intercept. Starc's speed was stationary, but the test indeed indicated a break around 70.4 over.

I've also found out that Starc's bowling speed was consistent, but a break occurred in the 70th over.

I've dabbled a little with the #Ashes2025 data
Median & std. dev. speed in km/h:
MC 139.8 (4.42)
SB 134.3 (2.25)
I've found evidence for consistently increasing Bowland's bowling speed, which suggests that fatigue hadn't affected his speed in the final overs.

(1RB+1TE), which means that Green Bay have all defenders in the box blocked.
Will Harris blitzes, Quan Martin drops, and the numerical advantage is neutralised.
BTW, Joshua Jacobs still gained 4 yds.

Interesting way to stop the run and neutralise the numerical (dis)advantage in the box: @wshcommanders.bsky.social Will Harris in the opening play of the #WASvsGB game.
The play starts with 2-high safeties and 6 defenders in the box. The @greenbaypackers.bsky.social alligne in 11-personnel

#KAJ33 is my all-time favourite basketball player.
He's my hero.
But the #pricing department at #Adidas might be overly too optimistic charging β¬400 for a vest and knit shorts.
Oh, and there's no chance for a discount.

Imagine how the lads must feel... and this is probably one of the best U18 teams Poland have ever fielded. Many of them represent great academies in the UK, Irelamd, and France.

As tough as making predictions (especially about the future) can be... Mik's prediction was right on the money.
But there's much more than just algorithms and numbers. Give him a follow if you haben't already
