Athletics 16, Orioles 2: Six homers for the A’s with Khris Davis, Robbie Grossman, Stephen Piscotty, Ramón Laureano, Chad Pinder and Beau Taylor doing the damage. Brett Anderson didn’t need that much support, as he allowed only one earned run over seven innings, but as a different Brett Anderson once sang, sometimes you just can’t get enough. Though I’m pretty sure that Brett Anderson was singing about hard drugs, not run support. Still.

If you want a top-quality constant-aperture telephoto to go with your Fujifilm X-mount camera, this is it. These cameras have APS-C sensors, so this is equivalent to a 75-210mm f/2.8 on a full frame camera – on of the three key ‘pro’ lenses and professional photographer keeps in their bag. Better still, there’s an optional matched 1.4x converter that takes this lens up to a 70-196mm f/4 (equivalent to 107mm-299mm in full frame terms).

The video does more than showcase a creative caliper solution. The Volkswagen Group might one day put it into cars like the Chiron or Divo — cars where lightweight solutions are critical to how it handles.

That was 19 years ago. The books are now well worn – each year, my students read them repeatedly, looking for powerful scenes to analyse in their work. I have hunted for replacement copies as far afield as London. I have convinced librarians from other schools to give me their copies.
