Tootfinder

On Thursday afternoon I was interviewed by Shaun (brindle) and Dotty (black/white) so they could check I would be able to serve them to the standard they require when their primary humans are away.
Dotty still a little unsure, though my treat dispensing abilities were acceptable. Shaun was sold after the first ear scritch.
I shall be seeing them again soon!

I loathe Paul Tierney as much as anyone, but the "controversy" around the wrongful awarding of the drop ball after a head injury is some serious blame-shifting from a team who had possession a full two-minutes later and coughed up the ball at the edge of the box to even allow the game-winner.
As many have pointed out, the more incompetent decision on the very same play is ignoring Yates' extremely reckless attempt. I would like to understand any VAR review on that.

Abstract: We report on a search for a resonance $X$ decaying to a pair of muons in $e^{ }e^{-}\rightarrow \mu^ \mu^- X$ events in the 0.212-9.000 GeV/$c^{2}$ mass range, using 178 fb$^{-1}$ of data collected by the BelleII experiment at the SuperKEKB collider at a center of mass energy of 10.58 GeV. The analysis probes two different models of $X$ beyond the standard model: a $Z^{\prime}$ vector boson in the $L_{\mu}-L_{\tau}$ model and a muonphilic scalar. We observe no evidence for a signal and set exclusion limits at the 90\% confidence level on the products of cross section and branching fraction for these processes, ranging from 0.046 fb to 0.97 fb for the $L_{\mu}-L_{\tau}$ model and from 0.055 fb to 1.3 fb for the muonphilic scalar model. For masses below 6 GeV/$c^{2}$, the corresponding constraints on the couplings of these processes to the standard model range from 0.0008 to 0.039 for the $L_{\mu}-L_{\tau}$ model and from 0.0018 to 0.040 for the muonphilic scalar model. These are the first constraints on the muonphilic scalar from a dedicated search.

Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News talked about some of Dallas’ biggest offseason decisions and where they stand on different points following the Combine. Gehlken doesn’t expect Dallas to be big spenders this offseason, as they are having to pay for previous restructures in dead cap this season. In addition, QB Dak Prescott, WR CeeDee Lamb and DE Micah Parsons are all in line for mega-extensions with their deals expiring after the season. Cowboys RB Tony Pollard is set to be a free…

On dynamically convex contact manifolds and filtered symplectic homology
In this paper we are interested in characterizing the standard contact sphere in terms of dynamically convex contact manifolds which admit a Liouville filling with vanishing symplectic homology. We first observe that if the filling is flexible, then those contact manifolds are contactomorphic to the standard contact sphere. We then investigate quantitative geometry of those contact manifolds focusing on similarities with the standard contact sphere in filtered symplectic homology.
