I enjoyed this comic series very much and enjoy humor such as this and the story to it too. Hard to believe that it ended in 2012. I wish i came across it sooner. I am eager and await for Dana's return of Ozy and Millie. Will they return? I really hope so. The. are one of my favorite characters and comics!
I hope you come back and do more soon. It's been almost 3 years now.
This is how we know just how beautiful this comic was. Years later we still come back.
We now approach 7 years, with the odds of a continuation vanishingly remote. However, Dana has gone on to create new comics, such as Marigold Heavenly Nostrils (Phoebe and Her Unicorn to those newer here), which are worth the time to read.
And yet, I find it hard to make the transition. This comic hit me the way a good book does, and it hurts to see it end.
And now, it's been 6.95 years! It really does hurt to see Ozy & Mille end!
I found this webcomics few days ago, and I think its great! Please, come back to it! I would really want to see younger characters more mature (or, frankly, how they don't grow up, despite their age). And you presented world problems in such funny way, too.
Sooo can milly go bald every year now too?
She already transferred the curse onto herself, remember?
I discovered this a couple weeks ago and just now got through reading all the Ozzie and Millie comics from 1998 to 2008. The whole thing was really endearing and funny. Bravo.
I have strong impression you were inspired in some sort by Moomin Troll?
This series is AMAZING!!!!! I hope that you get back to it as soon as possible!
I found this two or three days ago via Sandra and Woo, and I have to say it was absolutely beautiful in the time it took me to catch up. I was a little surprised when the adults started exhibiting lovelike behavior, considering I kinda liked the idea of the kids growing up like that, but I still don't think it could have ended on a better note.
Here's hoping you end up coming back to us one day.
This comic is older than I am. LOL! I thoroughly enjoyed it, your fan number will continue to grow, weither you are here or not. But still make more, pweese?
Hard to believe its been over 4 years since the amazing end to Ozy and Millie. I remember reading this comic way back when it was still updating. Out of curiosity last week I decided to check for any updates and ended up re-reading the entire thing. Ozy and Millie was a humorous, touching, intelligent and very well drawn comic. I absolutely loved every strip, and really wish there were more. However, I understand the need for an artist to move on and expand to grow and improve themselves and their work. Look forward to checking out Heavenly Nostrils when it launches and seeing how far your work has evolved. And maybe one day we can come back to Ozy and Millie together, as old friends.
i discovered your comic 2 days ago, i am now late on my own comic. whoops. totally worth staying up for 38 or so hours straight. kinda sad it's over now, it was a great read, i'm happy you gave it a real (but open ended) ending, and i do hope you come back to it, it's a wonderful, and silly story, with quite a bit of inteligence strewn about. thank you for this wonderful read.
This has been an awesome read, I'm actually kinda glad this one has an ending, it's been long coming, and very satisfying to see through to fruition. I dare say I enjoyed it more than Calvin & Hobbes, despite some of the influence being draconically apparent :p.
I will be watching this space, it was a thrilling read.
I discovered this strip through Sandra and Woo just a few days ago. I have spent those days going through the entire wonderful archive. I sincerely cannot believe that this strip was never syndicated! I am following Heavenly Nostrils and agree that it is cute, but this strip is awesome (to quote my kids) and I pray that you will return to it one day.
There is a dearth of intelligent comics and you really need to provide this service. Love to you (and Ozy, Millie and the rest).
Anyways, this is my second time reading every last strip of this, start to finish (not on one sitting, though I did get through a year or two's worth in this one. Been up for about 6 hours).
There's something to like about all of these characters. If this got restarted, I'd follow it fervently.
After having read "Heavenly Nostrils" for the past few months, I searched for other things you created, Dana, and I found "Ozy and Millie." In the past couple of weeks, I've read them all and enjoyed them immensely. Thank you for giving us both of these worlds.
And it's good to know that the enjoyment of blowing bubbles (and feeling sad for them) is a universal constant!
I really needed to read this comic throughout my years in middle and high school. I could totally relate to both characters, and I was really sad to see them go. I hope you're happy now, and that you'll revisit this world sometime in the future, even if it's just sketches.
Well, I am here to thank you basically, miss Dana.
You have done a splendid job in those comic strips. The mixture of philosophy and emotions is just sweet. You have managed to achieve very accurately the feeling of the characters, and not only the uniqueness of Millie or the harmony of Ozy, but also delve inside the mind of Felicia and Avery for example, reflecting on the social pressure that kids all around the world go through and we more than often treat as "passage rites", be them the cool kids or the marginalised nerds.
I also loved the adult characters. I would not stop being amazed at how Millie`s mother managed to overcome EVERYTIME the smartness of the little tomboy fox.
It has been a great pleasure to read all of your archive, and I hope you are well and healthy.
Yes just finished reading all of it. I love the ending still sad its ending though. I can honestly say this has been my favorite webcomic. Hope i have a son and daughter like ozy and millie someday.
Used to read this regularly years ago, and then stopped … I think during one of the long pauses. Couldn't remember the name and have been searching for it ever since. Just found it again last week. Thanks for the story, Dana. Always loved it.
i started reading this 3 days ago and i'm sad by the fact that it's over…Come Back Millie!! i'll miss you Ozy!!
Well, this…. this made me think. Not only think, but feel… I miss it already, and I just finished it. It's a fitting end, I think; I hope that other long-running webcomics can hope to end on a note like this. If the world ends tomorrow (which it won't), I can honestly say that I'm glad I spent my last hours reading this.
I just found this web comic a coupe of days ago, and I'm really glad I did. I'm still about 10 years behind, but I'm somewhat glad because it's the kind of written work I don't want to end. It's cute, yet at the same time has deep philosophical concepts, and political messages I love. I really like the comics making fun of commercialism, but to pick just one aspect doesn't really do justice to the work; they all work well together to form a thoroughly entertaining comic strip and story. If there's one flaw it's that the series ends, depriving us of more hilarious antics and entertaining portrayals of the world. Of course this comes from someone who has not read through to the end. It may be that it has a fitting end and to continue would strain it. I don't know, I simply wish to express my approval of this. In any event, I can say from what limited exposure I have to Ozy and Milli that I would love to see more, and hope that the caption about how this is, of course, not the end it true. Thanks for the laughs!
I recently finished reading through your comics. I just wanted to say they are awesome and I thoroughly enjoyed reading them. Thanks for the the deep thoughts, the social commentary, the relatable characters, the entertaining story lines, and of course the laughs!
thank for this little dream you give to us, i read it all in 1 day; iwant to say hundred of think about this coming but i think that the only that really count is THANK YOU.
I just finished the comic as its temporary end, I really like the story. It's been a few years since the comic ended so I'm envisioning 2 things and those are Millie's mom pregnant/with a new born fox/dragon hybrid and the kids as teenagers.
Thank you, Dana. This comic, like all good things, had to come to an end, but it was a beautiful end, and it left possibilities open. Though like all endings, it is bittersweet: Ozy, Millie, and the rest of their spectacular world can go on exploring, playing, discovering, and above all having fun, but we won't be able to watch, at least not for a while.
But that's okay, as watching isn't the only way this improves our lives. In an introduction to Ender's Game, Orson Scott Card said, amongst other things, "The "true" story is not the one the one that exists in my mind, it is CERTAINLY not the written words on the bound paper that you hold in your hands. The story in my mind is nothing but a hope; the text of a story is the tool I created in order to try to make that hope a reality. The story itself, the true story, is the one that the audience members create in their minds, guided and shaped by my text, but then transformed, elucidated, expanded, edited, and clarified by their own experience, their own desires, their own hopes and fears." Ozy and Millie have certainly taught me new perspectives, and new ideas.
Thank you, Dana, for enriching my world.
I found this 2-3 days ago through Sandra and Woo, and read it all the way through in that time. I just found it so fantastic I couldn't stop reading. It saddens me to know that there are no more comics for me to read, and there won't be for some time. Regardless, I plan to come back and read through the archives a year from now, when they will seem fresh and new again.
Thank you for the laughter, and the insight. I feel wiser than before having read this.
Also, I totally plan to use "you can accept the existence of rain without denying the existence of umbrellas" in conversation at some point. It's a fantastic line, so thanks for that one too.
WHERE ARE THE NEW COMICS???? Unicorn thing updates but ozy and milly dosent!?!??!?!?!?
Ozy and Millie ended almost 5 years ago. Heavenly Nostrils is her latest work.
I know this has been gone for a long time, but I just want to thank you for those years of comics. I had been a fan for a long time, and everything about the comic, such as Millie and Ozy's odd adventures, Llewellyn's strange wisdom and sometimes ridiculous activities, Ms. Mudd's clever battles of wits with her daughter, Avery's hilarious brief-lived phases, Timulty's randomness, and everything any of the teachers did, always made me laugh. Ozy and Millie is, undoubtedly, my favorite webcomic, and I'm glad to see that you continue to make great comics for Heavenly Nostrils.
Really, there was not a single story without a strip that makes me break out laughing even on rereading. Thank you for everything.
So… Ozy wears pants to bed but not outside?
NEED MOAR!!! Please continue Ozy and Millie!
Dana, I salute you for writing the best comic (in my opinion) strip I've ever read.
I have to say most web comics start to fall apart in the end, characters become unfunny and especially become unclassic! This did not! I loved almost all of it. There were some spots I didn't care for. A very few, don't get me wrong, I love the crap out of this comic! I was surprised it, for me, became funnier over the years. I doubt it will be continued but I can sure hope.
Too bad it's over. I just read all the archives, and this was one of the greatest webcomics I've seen. WIll it ever continue?
I first met this strip in 1998, when someone very dear to me introduced me to it. That person left my life shortly after, and from then till now, I didn't touch Ozy and Millie because the memories hurt badly. FFWD a decade and change, and I just finished reading this last page. Thank you, Dana, for such a truly wonderful comic. FWIW, my #1 favorite was where you showed us Millie's #1 dream. That one will forever stick with me.
I love this comic! I only discovered it a few months ago, and it took me a long time to go through the archives, but the journey was worth it. I'm excited to start Heavenly Nostrils soon, and to see your art and writing progress.
Well, I finished it…I liked it, a lot, & I'm, just kind of, sad that it's ended. I hate when I get emotionally invested in things because I get this weird feeling in the Pit of my Stomach when it's over, but I wouldn't trade this slight discomfort for all the World, though I'm going to take it over anyway. I do hope the next time I stop by there might be something new, but if not, that's Okay, I can live on Nostalgia. That said, Farwell.
The feeling will always be attached to this comic, but we can regain the comic's wondrous nature by re-reading it again and again.
Your artwork in this comic is amazing, Dana.
The quality of work you kept up throughout is frankly stunning.
I REALLY, really hope to see more of them. You said there will be, so here's to hoping.
Thank you. This has been a wonderful comic. I had a dream a few weeks ago that these two were a bit older, about 15 or so, and having a philosophical conversation. It was almost as if nothing had changed, but it did feel different, and there were some changes, but…I stared and watched them. it was a nice dream. Once again, thank you, D.S.!
This took me a few days, on and off, to get through. I am glad I did. This is probably the best comic I have ever read. Certainly the best to ever reach GoComics.
Somehow, being able to leave my insignificant mark in the comments of this masterpiece is one of the things that I feel most glad I have done. It is works like this one that are truly magnificent. Ozy and Millie blends silliness, seriousness, and sentimentality in away that nothing else I have ever seen has. I can not possibly put into words how much this comic helps me when I am in a bad mood. Truly this is a work of art. Thank you, Dana, for your devotion to the creation of this wondrous comic. Ozy and Millie will always be in my heart.
This page has rather become a guestbook page, and I felt I should leave a few words. I picked this up last year, and it's taken me quite a while to read through it, but this is easily one of the highest quality comics I've read. My gratitude to the author, and to them I wish harmony. When the series continues, I will welcome it. Until then, I am content with what we have.
I can imagine a tie-in to Heavenly Nostrils with an alternate-universe-with-anthromorphs-five-years-earlier-in-time, such that Dana doesn't have to figure out how they look now. Phoebe and Marigold can come out of the other cushion in the couch.
This comic will be with me forever. It truly shows human nature in all it's forms, both good and bad. May it last till the end of time, for I believe that we all can learn something from the wondrous antics of Ozy, Milli, and the rest of there friends.
Thank you, Ms. Simpson, for the beautiful story and lovable characters, and thank you, Orv, for your efforts in rebuilding this site and monitoring its health.
The worst part about a great strip is seeing it end. But, that is the nature of things, I suppose. It's been a great ride. While the ending wasn't what I expected, it was a good one.
5 Years and 8 Days since its THE END??? I pray one day it will come back as funny and crazy out there as it was when it ended.
Thank you, Dana, from the bottom of my heart. This comic has given me no small amount of joy in the past week, as I read it from beginning to end. The characters have become far dearer to me than I ever expected could happen from a comic strip – indeed from any work of fiction whatsoever. I hope to return and re-read it many times.
Also thank you to Orv, for keeping the site going and the discussion civil, and to all the people who accompanied me through the whole comic in the comments, even if I missed most of you by several months. I hope that I might have made the journey a little less lonely too for those who come after me, through my small contributions to the discourse.
Until we meet again, my dear furry and scaly friends. May your adventures forever live on, in this end of not-ending.
Whisper-quiet, and everything in those words that made this comic so grand throughout its run.
A perfect ending, then. And, like the rest of the comic, well worthy of remembrance.
I could have sworn there was a strip at the end showing some roughly college-age character designs… Maybe I imagined that.
It does exist; it was apparently a 'what-if' that Dana had drawn and posted elsewhere, which was linked to in the comments of one of the strips. Unfortunately I don't have the link, nor can I remember which strip it was linked from. Feel free to go back and look!
The thought of this comic not continuing literally made me cry, but I can see how it would be hard to pick up after years of not thinking about these characters… Thank you for sharing such a wonderful world with us all.
This has been a wonderful experience. I enjoyed reading every last strip since I started. I appreciate even more your dedication to the strip and your constant effort. You're a great inspiration, Dana.
This is my third trip through, and it's beautiful every time. I so very much wish you would write the comic-book format stories of them at an older age that you once suggested as a possibility, because I'd like to see them grow.
But regardless, thank you for this story.
Three years later and we're still going back and rereading this.
This is my third or fourth read-through, and never once did I say where I found this. Upon my previous year of high school, to every single student was an iPad given. I was rather prone to using it excessively, despite there being many things blocked by their network, and I started to read a lot of stuff on TVTropes, where I happened to discover Ozy and Millie by pure chance. I kept pressing the "random page" button on their website, and I eventually found this. And despite the fact that I disapproved of the iPads we have been given, I may never have found this comic in the first place if we hadn't. And now, I am currently completing my final year of high school, before I go on to Purdue University to study chemistry, computer engineering, meteorology, and maybe computer-aided design.
And with that note, see ya'll later. I'm done for now, because I have many important things to do. However, be assured that I will return. The charm, beauty, and subject matter of this webcomic will surely bring me back, sometime. And maybe, when I return, there will be more. Ya never know, I guess.
Even if they're so last year.
Thank You Dana, for Your astonishing work, and for entertaining us all, giving me reasons to laugh, but also giving me reasons to think – about life and world in general. As once Llewellyn said, "if You focus on destination, You will miss the journey" – Ozy and Millie gave me an amazing trip while reading it from start to here, I am so glad I found them, and I am glad the last (for now) strip is just like it is. I really enjoy the characters You created, love their purity and actual intelligence, the way they see the world, and all that nonsense and absurd present in the comic, all these references to culture and society. Thank You for over two thousand strips filled with laughter, joy, friendship and love. I love it so much.
And thank You Orv, for managing this page, so we can read it all, and keeping the discussion here "high-leveled".
Dziękuję, Dana, za wspaniałą podróż z Ozy'm i Millie, za te dwa tysiące stron wypełnionych szaleństwem, radością, śmiechem, przyjaźnią, miłością, ale też poważnymi przecież przemyśleniami, odważnym spojrzeniem na świat, oraz Twoim własnym życiem, ujętym w tą opowieść. Twoja praca wprawiała mnie w doskonały nastrój, za każdym razem, gdy ją widziałem, i ciesze się, że ten ostatni (jak na razie) kawałek jest taki, jaki jest.
Tobie Orv dziękuję za prowadzenie tej strony, segregowanie tej masy komiksów i komentarzy, oraz utrzymywanie w ryzach konwersacji.
Wrócę tu swego czasu, aby ponownie odbyć tę jedną z najlepszych podróży mego życia.
Wait, where's the continuation? I must have more Ozy and Millie!
Seven years later I'm still wondering whether by "more will be coming" refers to Phoebe and Her Unicorn or if Ozy and Millie will be coming back. Phoebe is funny, but I just can't relate to it. Millie was priceless. Now after going through the entire archive, I've put Ozy and Millie up with Calvin and Hobbes, Bloom County and Frazz as my favorite strips all time.
I don't know whether you've moved on from Ozy and Millie for good or not, but thank you for all the priceless laughs, Dana.
Thank you Dana for all your effort in bringing this webcomic to life. I enjoyed reading it.
Thank You, love. This was, is, and will always be my favorite comic, web or otherwise.
Know that if you ever revive your beautiful creations, we'll be here, loving every strip.
Thank you, Dana, for shaping my childhood. Ozy's smarts and Millie's antics helped me become who I am today, and for that, I thank you.
Love the comic and have probably reread it like I don't even remember how many times. But is it just me or was the last line changed. It used to be something like "no I would never say that"?
I really enjoyed this comic but will this comic ever get going again? I would really love to see more of Ozy and Millie.
This marks the end of my third read-through of this comic. The first was when I first got out of my parents' house and finally discovered the Internet in 2006. The second pulled me out of a low spot during college in 2011. And this read lifted my spirits during frustrating professional work. So when I'm frustrated again by life's troubles in 2020, I'll be back again. Thanks for the labor of love, Dana.
Let's see. It's been 7 years since this comic ended. Ozy and Millie are now 17 y.o. Will we see them as adults in a short series in a couple of years, either as a married couple or just living together?
I WANT MORE OZY & MILLIE!!!
I do hope that she brings this back, it is very cute at times and very thoughtful, kind of like Calvin and Hobbes was for our parents or grandparents generation (no offense of course). two paws or wings or hands up (species depending).
Thank you for this comic. I understand why you stopped; an artist is their worst critic, and many artists want to be known for many things. If you only had Ozy and Millie, you'd feel unaccomplished and empty, despite everyone else feeling the opposite. I respect your choice, and I thank you for making this comic because you got me through my senior year of high school. I wish you luck on the rest of your endeavors, Mrs. Simpson.
We weep, bid farewell, move on.
But the day when one ozy and millie strip gets released its going to feel so special and at the same time nostalgic….
I don't have anything to say that hasn't been said dozens of times before, in every form I could think of. Ozy and Millie went from something I'd heard mentioned once or twice to being my favorite comic. I read through all ten years of comics in… what, two? three? days of "forgetting" to sleep until late became early, and the only thing I could want from this is more of the same.
Thanks so much for a decade of the best comic there is, and here's to hoping for more.
As said before by a lot of more fortunate people that found this comic way, way before I did, this has to be one of the best webcomics I've ever read. It has everything and in a relatable way. maybe because the Internet is, first and foremost, the realm of dorky kids? and probably most of us were dorky kids at school? awkward teens in highschool? who knows; but I do feel missing out on this great piece of work and only finding about it a lot of years after it finished. A part of me wishes for a "second season" with older Ozy and Millie, but it probably won't be the same. As Miguel de Unamuno once said "when the author kills a character, who can resurrect it?" (not sure if that's the exact quote but the idea stays) "Ozy and Millie" was a part of Dana's life, and our life too, and will remain so, but no longer a main part, rather a fond memory, that thanks to the internet we can always reread and enjoy once again.
This is a fun comic I read. One day I hope to see this as an excellent movie.
Haaaaa… Third time reading the entire comic series from the very first to the very last….and I still get a little choked up. God I wish we had more of this….I miss Millie and Ozy. Amazing comic for sure! Even better the older you get.
This comic makes my heart happy. Thanks for that.
My third time too, and the first time I've read all the comments (including all of these). What can I possibly say that one of you other afficiandos hasn't already said better than I could? Dana, thank you for sharing your wit and insight; Orv, thank you for making this site possible; the rest of you, thank you for being fellow travelers through this amazing universe. Oh, and I really like the real fox-type teeth. Onward to the fourth readings!
PS: Orv, maybe this page needs to be made bigger, I almost couldn't get the "Post Comment" button onto my screen.
NOO ITS OVER!! I thinks. I wus both hoping to reach the end and not to at the same time, I knew it wus coming but not this fast! It's been 10 years since this strip wow!
Who knew that a random YouTube search for wut is a furry could bring me here!? Great comic, best I've read.
Sorry your post took so long to show up. I have to manually approve posts from new accounts, and between travel and a massive Russian spam run against the site, I got a bit behind.
Am I the only one who noticed that Ozy apparently only likes to wear pants to bed?
I have finished my first read-through of this brilliant comic.
So wonderfully timeless it is, that it can still be enjoyed in its entirety even now.
I hope very much for a continuation.


On Sunday, July 16, 2017, 2:30-4:30 p.m. at the Lockwood-Mathews Mansion Museum, 295 West Avenue in Norwalk, CT, legendary Textile Conservator and FIT Professor June Burns Bové will present, What to wear? How the Bride Decides, a talk on the fashion and social history of the wedding dress.
There may be great differences between the attire of two brides married on the same day; one may wear French couture and the other, her best day dress, but the fashion lines are discernible. During the times between two great wars, American women looked to a number of sources for fashion news, starting with the colored engraving and then the photograph. Magazines directed to women were important, but so were newspapers with pictures of actresses and the social elite. Not all dresses were saved, nor are all dresses saved today. Brides often wore their dresses as reception dresses after the wedding or made children's clothing from the fabric. Nowadays, dresses may be resold on eBay and Craigslist. We have the ones that were kept to tell us about that "one special day" and the world of the woman who wore it.
June Burns Bové earned a BA from Bucknell University in English and French Literature and an MA from New York University in Costume Studies. For twenty years a contract employee of the Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, June is Textile Conservator for Yeshiva University Museum and has been an adjunct assistant professor in the School of Graduate Studies of Fashion Institute of Technology since 1991 where her specialty is costume exhibition.
She has consulted for many museums and institutions including The Newark Museum, The New-York Historical Society, The New Jersey Historical Society, The Jewish Museum, the Morse Museum of Winter Park, Florida, The Merchant's House of New York City, and the Art Department of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. In 2011 The Costume Society of America named her a Fellow of the Society.
This Salon includes a talk, refreshments, and a tour of the first floor of the Mansion; $15 for members, $20 for non-members per session. Refreshments are courtesy of Best in Gourmet. Please RSVP by Thurs, July 13, 2017. The chair of the Lecture Committee is Mimi Findlay of New Canaan.


The SCOOP (Spring Championship of Online Poker) series at Pokerstars has already proven to be a huge hit with players, with a number of the tournaments absolutely smashing the guaranteed prize amounts.
With the exception of the "Medium" and "High" buy-in PL 5-Card Draw events (which are never that popular with players), the events in the SCOOP series so far have had prize pools that have easily topped the guarantees from Pokerstars.
Event #1, which took place yesterday, was the 6-Max No Limit Hold'em with Rebuys events.
The "Low" tournament in Event #1 had a ridiculously low guarantee of $50,000 in prize money - the final prize pool came in at a staggering $435k after 27,134 people decided to enter.
The "Medium" and "High" tournaments in Event #1 both smashed their guarantees as well - the "Medium" event had a final prize pool of $641,350 (with a guarantee of $200,000), while the "High" event had a final prize pool of over $1.1 million dollars (with a guarantee of $500,000).
The "Medium" tournament in Event #1, which was ultimately won by "WestmenloAA", had a first place prize that was nearly half of the total guaranteed prize pool.
Event #2, which was the PL Omaha Hi/Lo event, featured three tournaments that all easily topped their guarantees as well.
The "Low" tournament had a total prize pool of $76,220, which was more than triple the guaranteed prize money in the tournament ($25,000).
The "Medium" tournament had guaranteed prize money of $50,000, and ended up with a total prize pool of over $200,000. The "High" tournament easily topped the guarantee as well ($327,000 vs $200,000).
Event #3, which was PL 5-Card Draw, saw two of its tournaments miss the guarantee.
The "Low" event easily topped the guarantee, coming in at $42,920 in prize money vs a guarantee of $25,000.
The "Medium" and "High" events both missed however, with the $1,050 "High" event seeing only 120 entrants (200 would have been needed in order to meet the guarantee).
This is not all that surprising however - these events, as mentioned, are never very popular with players, as many people just don't play this type of poker.
Don't feel too bad for Pokerstars though, as Event #4 (No Limit Hold'em 2X Chance, Turbo) easily topped the guarantees for all three events.
The "Low" tournament saw a total prize pool of $335,580, which easily surpassed the $100k guarantee.
The "Medium" tournament saw a total prize pool of $656,100, which easily surpassed the $300,000 guarantee.
The "High" tournament saw a total prize pool of $1.25 million dollars, which easily surpassed the $1 million dollar Guarantee.
The PLO and 2-Day No Limit Hold'em events should prove to be very popular with players this weekend, and I would expect that both will smash their guarantees as well.
So far, so good for Pokerstars and their new SCOOP series. This was clearly a very savvy business move for the company, and I wouldn't be surprised to see dramatically increased guarantees for next year.

"Flouncing": Why we Love Drama on Social Media—& what to do Instead.
0 Boost Score Caitlin McColl (78,415)
A post shared by Stephen Zerance (@lvcifers_revenge)
You may not have heard the word "flouncing" before, but I'm fairly certain you've seen it somewhere online without realizing what the behavior is called.
According to Urban Dictionary, flouncing is leaving an internet group or thread with exaggerated drama and acting in ways to draw attention to the drama.
In other words, it is the internet equivalent of storming out of the room and making a dramatic exit, while slamming the door behind you on the way out. According to Dictionary.com, this new modern internet slang word "may or may not involve burning a few ridges or stirring the pot on the way out."
I'm sure some of you have seen this kind of behavior on Facebook or in comment threads around the internet, and I'm also certain these people have caused you to roll your eyes and reply to them with something along with the lines of, "This isn't an airport; there's no need to announce your departure," or other people may have added something like, "Byeeeee Felicia!"
I was curious about why people do this, so I raised the question on social media and got a reply from a friend who said, "So much of what is on social media is valued based on opinions and group dynamics." In real-life conflicts, we are supposed to feel sorry for the person who's dramatically storming out of the situation because they've been wounded and hurt. Some people might probably run after the aggrieved person and say, "No, don't leave! Stay." Sometimes, this happens online as well; however, when people throw a big enough tantrum and cause a scene—especially if they aren't well-known to other group members—people's reactions online are more likely to be: bye. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
In the world of the internet, it isn't always possible to run after the party that is hurt, which makes the dramatic exit an ineffectual behavior. And what if we go after them anyway, say, by sending them a message to try to reason with them, only so they'd end up blocking us? Wouldn't that mean that they had their way of getting the last word so they can sit, smugly, on their high horse, and feel triumphant that they stood up to whatever perceived threat they've felt?
I did some research, and it turns out there is so much psychological and neuroscience evidence to back up this behavior.
According to this site, dramatic people want others to notice how upset, or sad, angry, anxious, and frustrated they are in order to come to their rescue.
Apparently, there are two types of people in this world: those who avoid confrontation (raises hand), and those who thrive on stirring the pot.
There's a scientific measurement scale called the "Need For Drama." Researchers have found that those who scored higher on this scale shared three main characteristics: manipulation, outspokenness (aka gossip), and reactivity due to their internal perception as being a victim. Scientists also found that dramatic people tend to be more impulsive and, therefore, are more likely to jump into drama and tantrum mode.
But how does this affect us? According to neuroscience, drama is another way of saying that someone has a lack of social and emotional skills, where there's a disconnect between the two.
In reality, people are supposed to learn how to regulate their emotions and control their impulses from the time they become teenagers all the way into their adulthood. But due to today's reliance on an online world, and based on what we're seeing through these confrontations and dramatic outbursts on social media, this might not be happening anymore.
As socially-wired human beings, we love storytelling; it helps bond us together. But in today's fast-paced world, we have limited time and shorter attention spans, and, therefore, we are becoming less patient. So, the way we communicate today through storytelling has changed. This included some positive changes, such as the outburst of TED Talks videos, but on the flip side, our social interactions on digital platforms are filled with misinformation and gossip. As a social species, we all require attention. But social media has caused an excess in attention-seeking behaviors by its 24/7, all-pervasive availability, and psychologists believe that this behavior is driven out of emotional desperation.
When people's beliefs, values, or ideals are threatened, instead of just removing themselves from the situation or quietly leaving, they instead become impulsive in their reactions and their expectation of the outcome. When we don't get the attention we seek, we feel anxious, and to ease that anxiety, we instinctively seek more drama to get the attention we are craving.
But there is a downside to this drama: stress, which we all know, is harmful to our health. According to Psychology Today, because conflict causes stress, which is our defense mechanism against perceived harm, it tells us one of two things: we've either been hurt or we're about to. If we think we're hurt, our brain switches into action and causes us to be more impulsive or reactive.
We may not have control over our environment, but as I've learned through my mindfulness study and work over the years, we do have control over how we react to it. So the next time you feel like the internet is against you, instead of angrily announcing I'm leaving to a bunch of people who don't really know you and probably don't really care, save your energy.
Learn the art of protecting your well-being and quietly shut the door behind you on your way out.

How To Write Rental Lease Agreements.

In all but a few states, estate sale companies are required to collect (and pay) sales tax for the clients items sold at the estate sale. Each states Department of Revenue will have the current information on sales tax requirements. The contract should specify who is responsible for wrapping, mailing, and/or delivering any paid-for items that were left behind. Whether its the estate sale company or the client, the contract should note who pays for each service.

There are rules on updating information on child support, and these can depend on which of the child support guidelines apply to your predicament. For instance, the Federal Guidelines state that one parent, a provincial agency or an order assignee can request for updated information regarding your income every year. Make this request in writing. Moreover, your agreement may require that you provide updated income information in specific situations or at certain times. It is also important to understand the relationship between the two parties.

To make your separation agreement legally binding, Graysons legal experts would recommend this process: You can read more about the reasons you might want to use a separation agreement, and what they might cover here. Hyatt v. Ralph, 2015 ONSC 580 (CanLII). Mr. Ralph was in an acrimonious marriage with Ms. Hyatt, a law clerk with experience in family matters. A separation agreement required him to pay support for a child of Ms. Hyatt's previous marriage. Mr. Ralph received no independent legal advice except what he heard from Ms. Sometimes, people even negotiate marital agreements. Theyre like separation agreements (and prenuptial agreements, for that matter) except for when they come into play. A marital agreement is a document that couples use to try to save their marriages. Theyll agree to thinks like counseling or date nights in order to try to help improve things in their marriages. Theyll also then include the specific terms of their divorce, just like they would in a separation agreement. That way, they can focus on fixing the marriage, without having to worry about the divorce all the while. They know what they can rely on later on down the line, if things dont work out, and sometimes that gives people the peace of mind to truly fix their marriages http://martystein.com/2020/12/12/marital-settlement-agreement-reconciliation/.

In a new release issued on Monday morning, the Ontario Secondary School Teachers Federation (OSSTF) said tentative deals have been reached with the provinces school board associations at both the teacher/ occasional teacher and education worker central bargaining tables. ONTARIO The Ontario Secondary School Teachers Federation (OSSTF) announced on Monday, April 20 that they had reached an agreement with the province and their employers (view). Having concluded that, in general, the Respondent had an obligation to bargain with the duly authorized agent of AFGE over matters of local concern and that AFGE had not waived its right to engage in such mid-term negotiations, we now turn to the question of whether the matters over which the Union sought to bargain were contained in or covered by provisions of the 1982 MLA so as to preclude further bargaining during the term of that agreement. The Judge also dismissed the Respondent's assertion that AFGE, similar to the union in Wright-Patterson IV, is foreclosed from further bargaining because it agreed in Article 5 of the 1982 MLA that "there will be no other supplemental agreements" except for seven designated topics, which do not include incentive awards more.

The training contract is a legally binding agreement between the employer and the apprentice or trainee. It protects both the employers and employee's interests and outlines each partys obligations, including the training and supervision that must be provided. If a training agreement has the practical effect of trapping an employee in their current role, then it may well be found to be unenforceable. A Training Plan will outline what aspects of the training will be formally delivered by the RTO and what aspects will be the employer's or supervisor's focus in the workplace in the context of day to day work. The differing approaches adopted on each side of the channel have as much to do with the contractual parties lack of choice of the law applicable to the arbitration agreement, than with their express choice of English law as the law applicable to their contract. Indeed, English laws rigorous approach to contract interpretation and its relative indifference towards the concept of good faith were bound to place a greater emphasis on the terms of the FDA rather than on the actual circumstances of the performance of the contract. The trickled down effect of this choice also generated significant consequences on the interpretation of the scope of the arbitration clause and the possibility to extend it to a non-signatory party, whether these issues were considered by English or French judges arbitration agreement third party. S104 agreements concern the maintenance of sewers contained within a new development by the local water company at the Sewerage Authorities expense. The agreement allows for a drainage system to implemented. The process is governed by strict regulations, such as the requirement to conduct flood risk assessments, with significant cost implications. Therefore, it is worth seeking expert advice before applying. Section 102 of the Water Industry Act (1991) allows a developer or an individual to submit an application to a water company asking them to adopt a private operational sewer which is already installed. On a new development, the S102 process is usually followed if the new sewers are installed and become operational before the S104 agreement is signed and the S104 process is no longer applicable s104 agreement drainage. Collective nouns such as class, committee, herd, public, crew, team, government, company, audience, and group usually take singular verbs. 1. A phrase or clause between subject and verb does not change the number of the subject. When a collective noun is considered as a collection of individuals (as opposed to a single unit), it takes a plural verb. This is an uncommon use, though. What would a grammar lesson be without a few exceptions to the rule? Let's review some of the most notable exceptions: 4 subject verb agreement rule 3 and 4. 4. With compound subjects joined by or/nor, the verb agrees with the subject nearer to it. Some indefinite pronouns are particularly troublesome Everyone and everybody (listed above, also) certainly feel like more than one person and, therefore, students are sometimes tempted to use a plural verb with them. They are always singular, though. Each is often followed by a prepositional phrase ending in a plural word (Each of the cars), thus confusing the verb choice. Each, too, is always singular and requires a singular verb. Don't let the word "students" confuse you; the subject is each and each is always singular Each is responsible. Rule 6. In sentences beginning with here or there, the true subject follows the verb all the rules of subject verb agreement. Various data sources are relevant to the migration themes that informed the elaboration of a GCM. Some of the main sources were: It's not legally binding and allows countries to remain in charge of their own immigration policy but commits signatories to improving co-operation on international migration. Calling the agreement a historic moment, General Assembly President Miroslav Lajk emphasized It does not encourage migration, nor does it aim to stop it. It is not legally binding. It does not dictate. It will not impose. And it fully respects the sovereignty of States.[20] Lithuania: On 4 December 2018, the Lithuanian parliament voted for a resolution which acknowledged the need for international cooperation in dealing with the challenges that migration creates and that no state can solve them alone link. …. CIT(A) submitted that clause 9 of the JVA deals with Non-compete and Non solicitation and from the contents in the said clause it can be inferred that this clause of non compete is no…Company in the agreement for acquisition. However, article 9 clause 9.1.1 of the JVA contains Non-Compete clause. Similarly, clause 9.2.1 contains Non-Solicitation claus…public offer is the same at Rs. 110 per share.

While a SHA and articles of association should not contradict each other, a SHA can contain a supremacy clause to ensure the SHA overrides the articles of association (in the event of an inconsistency the shareholders can then amend the articles accordingly). Because articles of association follow a statutory model they are unable to deal with matters which are personal to the shareholders as this would fetter the companys statutory powers (more).

A lease is a legally-binding contract used when a landlord (the lessor) rents out a property to a tenant (the lessee). This written agreement states the terms of the rental, such as how long the tenant will rent the property and how much they will pay, in addition to the repercussions for breaking the agreement. A standard lease also includes the rental rights and obligations of each party, rent details (the amount due, payment frequency, late fees, etc.) and other payment information, such as security deposit details. Using a tool such as Rentometer is useful for searching rental price comparisons in your area.

I read with delight your article (China Needs No Foreign Help to Feed Itself NATURE vol 474 no. 7439 June 2, 2011 page 7). It is good to see that there are credible plans afoot by which China will never face famine or even the need to import food competing with others that may need it at some time in the future.
It also is good to know that China is building strategic food reserves. That is only prudent. Much as I approve, one thing does come to mind. My experience is that bread simply does not taste as good as it used to. Even French bread in France, once one of my favorite treats, is no better than acceptable. I suspect it is because of strategic food reserves. Nothing lasts forever, not even stored grain. So in order to retain the reserves one must regularly replace it, drawing off the oldest for use while putting in the freshest. Since common frugality dictates keeping the grain as long as it can produce acceptable flour, all the bread we eat is from grain that has been stored nearly as long as possible. It is as stale as is acceptable. So although the bread may be freshly baked, the flour is not fresh. The same goes for any strategic food reserves.
I see no way out of this. I think we are doomed forever to stale bread. Still, it seems like a reasonable alternative to famine if things go badly.
On a more cheerful note, although I take your point that building villages takes up valuable crop land and the same with giving people permission to return to their native villages and build homes for seasonal use, there is a bright side to it. In America the best land now lies under immense cities. You could probably feed the world with what is under American pavement. And there is a story that the Seminole Indians of Florida, when they won a court case that gave them some money, opted to build high rise apartments rather than homes in the Everglades. They wanted to keep the Everglades as untouched as possible.
The bright side depends on an observation. As you point out, the population of China will reach a maximum in about twenty years. Then it will start down. The question is when it will stop falling. Stop it must. There is a saying in surgery, "Bleeding always stops." Of course it would stabilize at any desired level if the birth rate were to cooperate. But in a couple hundred years of statistics over some hundred countries no country has ever had its birth rate fall below replacement and then recover to a survivable level. None. Not once.
The birth rate in China is below replacement, and if the future follows the past, it will stay there. When I point this out to my peers, they shout, "It's the one-child policy. Take that away and the birth rate will go back up." I don't believe it for three reasons. The first is that the policy was not introduced until the birth rate had already fallen, so it is idleness to expect the birth rate to go back up with its removal. The second is that in places where the restriction has been relaxed there has been no change.
As you can see they are good sources. We can all agree that excessive inbreeding can be a problem. What these papers show using multiple independent studies, is that as kinship decreases past the point where inbreeding is an issue, fertility falls very rapidly until it is below replacement.
The moral is clear. If you wish to have a population in the long term, you must have an adequate number of people marrying those who are adequately close relatives.
It's that or die out.
There are two ways to assure adequate consanguinity. You can be royalty and have a college of heralds keeping track of everybody. Or you can have villages.
So those villages are your life blood for the future. Without them your country, like most others, will be lost. I cannot even promise you that what is being done will even work. But it is the only thing that can work and so far as I know China is the only place even making an effort.
So carry on. Keep up the good work. Feed those folks and flourish. But do not bemoan the fact that villages are not going away altogether nor begrudge them what they need to survive. Without them you will not even be a memory.
Let me know what you think. I have a great deal more evidence.

84th ACADEMY AWARDS NOMINATIONS ANNOUNCED
It's that time of year again in Hollywood, the annual motion picture awards season, and Tuesday morning was the announcement of the nominees for the most coveted award in the film industry, the Oscars. As always, there were a few shocks (i.e. snubs!) and a laundry list of talented contenders. But will Leo ever get his chance at the golden statue! Check out who made the cut for this year's list of Academy noms.
The main acting awards saw nominations for eleven different films this year running the gamut from smaller films such as A Better Life to the commercial juggernaut Bridesmaids. Receiving multiple acting honors were The Artist for leading actor and supporting actress (Jean Dujardin and Berenice Bejo), Moneyball for lead and supporting actors (Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill, respectively), My week with Marilyn for leading actress and supporting actor (Michelle Williams and Kenneth Branagh), Albert Nobbs for leading and supporting actress (Glenn Close and Janet McTeer, respectively), and The Help for lead actress (Viola Davis) and dual nominations for supporting actress (Jessica Chastain and Octavia Spencer). With the expansion of the Best Picture category a few years ago there are nine films up for the top prize- Best Picture. Following their wins for Best Picture in their respective categories at the Golden Globe Awards a little over a week ago, the front runners for the Oscar are the nearly silent film The Artist and the Hawaiian drama The Descendants.
As with the nominating process every year, there are some surprises. Probably the biggest snubs of the year were in the men's acting categories. Michael Fassbender, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Ryan Gosling were all left out of the running for the Oscar for a leading actor. For Leonardo DiCaprio not receiving any Oscar love is beginning to become a pattern as he is probably the most snubbed leading man in recent years, failing to receive nominations for Titanic, The Departed, Revolutionary Road, or J. Edgar. Other notable snubs were for Tilda Swinton for leading actress and of all things Angelina Jolie's directorial debut In the Land of Blood and Honey in the foreign language film category. In the Land of Blood and Honey was thought to be a leading contender alongside A Separation for the award, but alas was locked out of the category. Perhaps it was backlash against a U.S. film being submitted in the foreign language film category, because clearly we don't have enough of those. Oh well, Angelina still has Brad Pitt to go home to at the end of the day, and they'll have his nomination for his work in Moneyball to celebrate as a consolation.
Probably the biggest surprises were the nominations of Demian Bichir (for A Better Life) for leading actor, and Melissa McCarthy (for Bridesmaids) as supporting actress. I'm sure a lot of people are googling to find out about A Better Life since it was a low budget (~ $10M) film with a limited release. The good news is it's already on DVD if you want to check it out. Personally, I was really excited to see McCarthy get the nod. After being left out of the Golden Globes names, I didn't expect her name to get the call, but if you've seen Bridesmaids (not exactly typical Oscar fare) you'll remember what a scene stealer she was.
Lastly, in probably what is the most head-scratching period of the entire nomination process was the lack of nominations for Best Original Song. A once prestigious category that brought us past winners the likes of "Over the Rainbow", "White Christmas" and 80's favorites "Take My Breath Away" from Top Gun and "I've Had the Time of My Life" from Dirty Dancing, this category has seemed to fall on hard times lately. Nominations in this category appear to be shrinking with three of the last seven years, including this awards season, having only two nominations. With only two nominees it kind of makes the process seem a little pointless.
While the era of soundtracks filled with original music developed specifically for a film sort of went out of fashion in the last couple of decades, the reason for this year's low number of nominations is a little bewildering considering last month the Academy released a 39-song shortlist of submissions. Someone probably needs to look into the voting rules in this category and suggest some serious revisions. You know something fishy is going on when not one of the four original songs up for the Golden Globe just last week managed to even garner a nomination. With "Hello, Hello" from Gnomeo and Juliet shut out of the Academy Awards, we will be forced to miss an appearance from two of the most flamboyant and interesting people the red carpet could of hosted, Sir Elton John and Lady f**n Gaga. I guess we'll have to settle for enjoying the beautiful dresses instead.
While the 84th Annual Academy Awards show won't be on for another month, February 26th, that won't stop the odds makers and amateur fortune tellers from already making predictions about the winners. If you're anything like me you've probably already printed out your voting form. If not, here's the link to the full list of the award's nominees, so go print one out and get a bottle of champagne ready because nothing says glamour like curling up on your coach watching the Oscars with your best girl friends and a glass of bubbly. Well, short of actually attending! Cheers!


Visiting family that just moved near Pittsfield Ma this past weekend, I tried skating Ashuwillticook trail. It runs about 11 miles and is completely smooth & flat. It runs alongside a lake for about 5 miles with some amazing scenery. Probably the nicest trail I've ever skated, though the fall leaves made it a little tough (had to go slow) for the first few miles. It runs from Lanesboro up to Adams. I started in Lanesboro and only made it up 7 miles before heading back, but hope to return one day to do all 22 miles.


Be clear about the products and services you offer. The more detail you offer on your business card, the more likely you'll resonate with a niche market, which is a great source for long-term business. What do you specialize in, or what is the primary focus of your business? A marketing consultant, for instance, might want to emphasize that he or she specializes in developing high-conversion e-mail auto responder campaigns rather than simply say they are a marketing consultant.
Your business card needs to tell prospects why they should choose you and your company. What do you do better than your competitors? If you offer the best prices, the most reliable product, the best support or have won industry awards, let them know!
Depending on the nature of your business, you can offer a free no-obligation consultation, a coupon or discount, or other giveaway to entice prospects to take the first step in the purchasing process. You could use the back of your business card, or develop a folded business card, so you have space to do this. Whatever you offer, make sure it's valuable enough for your target audience to take action.
Include a photo on your business card and make sure you're grinning in it. Happy people exude wealth and confidence, which are two elements that will lead prospects to believe that your business is good enough for you to feel this way. This isn't to say that you should come off as arrogant or condescending; only that you should appear naturally amicable. This will also help prospects feel comfortable in trusting you to handle their account.
All too often, small businesses will hold off on professional business cards until they've achieved a modicum of success. This is a poor move because everyone who sees your business card will make a judgment on your company based on your business card's appearance. Professional business card design and printing are inexpensive, and are necessary if you want to maximize your marketing efforts with business cards.

\section{Introduction}
Since the observation of the decay $B^0_d\to\pi^0K^0$ by the CLEO collaboration
in 2000 with a remarkably prominent rate, we are faced with a possible discrepancy
with the picture of the Standard Model (SM). This ``$B\to\pi K$ puzzle" is still
present in the most recent $B$-factory data, and has recently received a lot of
attention. In \cite{BFRS}, where also a comprehensive list of the relevant literature
can be found, we developed a strategy to explore this exciting topic in a systematic
manner. The starting point is an analysis of the $B\to\pi\pi$ system, where the
data can be accommodated in the SM through large non-factorizable effects. In
particular, the $B\to\pi\pi$ decays allow us to extract a set of hadronic parameters
with the help of the isospin symmetry of strong interactions. Using then the $SU(3)$
flavour symmetry and neglecting certain exchange and penguin annihilation topologies,
we can convert the hadronic $B\to\pi\pi$ parameters in their $B\to\pi K$ counterparts,
allowing us to predict all $B\to\pi K$ observables in the SM. We find agreement for
those decays that are only marginally affected by (colour-suppressed) electroweak (EW)
penguins. On the other hand, the SM predictions of the $B\to\pi K$ observables which
are significantly affected by (colour-allowed) EW penguins do not agree with the
data, thereby reflecting the $B\to\pi K$ puzzle. Moreover, we can perform internal
consistency checks of our working assumptions, which work well within the current
uncertainties, and find that our results are very stable under large non-factorizable
$SU(3)$-breaking corrections. In view of these features, new physics (NP) in the
EW penguin sector may be at the origin of the $B\to\pi K$ puzzle. In fact, it can
be resolved through a modification of the EW penguin parameters, involving in
particular a large CP-violating NP phase that vanishes in the SM. The implications
of this kind of NP on rare $K$ and $B$ decays are then investigated in the final
step of our strategy.

The numerical results presented below refer to our very recent analysis
\cite{BFRS-05}. A somewhat surprising development of this summer
is a new world average for $(\sin 2\beta)_{\psi K_{\rm {S}}}$, which went
down by about 1$\sigma$. The picture in the $\bar\rho$--$\bar\eta$ plane
with the fits of the unitarity triangle (UT) is now no longer ``perfect",
which may indicate NP in $B^0_d$--$\bar B^0_d$ mixing. Consequently,
we use the CP asymmetries of the $B^0_d\to\pi^+\pi^-$, $B^0_d\to\pi^-K^+$
system to determine the ``true" value of the UT angle $\gamma$, yielding
\begin{equation}\label{gamma-det}
\gamma=(73.9^{+5.8}_{-6.5})^\circ,
\end{equation}
and use it as an input for our $B\to\pi\pi,\pi K$ analysis. If we complement
(\ref{gamma-det}) with $|V_{ub}/V_{cb}|$ (semi-lept.\ $B$ decays), we may
also extract the ``true" value of $\beta$. We obtain
$\beta=(25.8\pm 1.3)^\circ$, which would correspond to a
NP phase $\phi_d^{\rm NP}=-(8.2\pm 3.5)^\circ$ in $B^0_d$--$\bar B^0_d$ mixing,
in accordance with~\cite{UTfit}.

\section{The $B\to\pi\pi$ System}
The starting point of our $B\to\pi\pi$ study is given by the following ratios:
\begin{eqnarray}
R_{+-}^{\pi\pi}&\equiv&2\left[\frac{\mbox{BR}(B^+\to\pi^+\pi^0)
+\mbox{BR}(B^-\to\pi^-\pi^0)}{\mbox{BR}(B_d^0\to\pi^+\pi^-)
+\mbox{BR}(\bar B_d^0\to\pi^+\pi^-)}\right]=F_1(d,\theta,x,\Delta;\gamma)
\stackrel{\rm exp}{=}2.04\pm0.28
\label{Rpm-def}\\
R_{00}^{\pi\pi}&\equiv&2\left[\frac{\mbox{BR}(B_d^0\to\pi^0\pi^0)+
\mbox{BR}(\bar B_d^0\to\pi^0\pi^0)}{\mbox{BR}(B_d^0\to\pi^+\pi^-)+
\mbox{BR}(\bar B_d^0\to\pi^+\pi^-)}\right]=F_2(d,\theta,x,\Delta;\gamma)
\stackrel{\rm exp}{=}0.58\pm0.13.
\end{eqnarray}
Here we have used the isospin symmetry of strong interactions to express
these observables in terms of $\gamma$ and the hadronic parameters $de^{i\theta}$,
$xe^{i\Delta}$ that were introduced in \cite{BFRS}, and have also given the
current experimental numbers. Moreover, we have the CP asymmetries
\begin{eqnarray}
{\cal A}_{\rm CP}^{\rm dir}(B_d\to \pi^+\pi^-)&=&
G_1(d,\theta;\gamma)\stackrel{\rm exp}{=}-0.37\pm0.10 \\
{\cal A}_{\rm CP}^{\rm mix}(B_d\to \pi^+\pi^-)&=&
G_2(d,\theta;\gamma,\phi_d)\stackrel{\rm exp}{=}+0.50\pm0.12
\end{eqnarray}
at our disposal, where $\phi_d\stackrel{\rm exp}{=}(43.4^{+2.6}_{-2.4})^\circ$ is the
$B^0_d$--$\bar B^0_d$ mixing phase; its numerical value follows from
the data for CP violation in $B_d\to J/\psi K_{\rm S}$. If we use the value of
$\gamma$ in (\ref{gamma-det}), we are in a position to determine the
hadronic parameters characterizing the $B\to\pi\pi$ system, with the
following results:
\begin{equation}\label{d-theta-x-Delta}
d=0.52^{+0.09}_{-0.09}, \quad
\theta=(146^{+7.0}_{-7.2})^\circ, \qquad
x=0.96^{+0.13}_{-0.14}, \quad
\Delta=-(53^{+18}_{-26})^\circ.
\end{equation}
These numbers, which exhibit large non-factorizable effects, are in excellent
agreement with our previous analysis \cite{BFRS-up}.
Let us stress that we have also included EW penguin effects in
(\ref{d-theta-x-Delta}) through the isospin symmetry, although these topologies
have a minor impact on the $B\to\pi\pi$ decays.

Finally, we may predict the CP asymmetries of the decay $B_d\to\pi^0\pi^0$,
where we obtain
\begin{equation}\label{ACP-Bdpi0pi0-pred}
{\cal A}_{\rm CP}^{\rm dir}(B_d\to \pi^0\pi^0)=-0.30^{+0.48}_{-0.26}
\,\stackrel{\rm exp}{=}\, -0.28^{+0.40}_{-0.39}, \quad
{\cal A}_{\rm CP}^{\rm mix}(B_d\to \pi^0\pi^0)=-0.87^{+0.29}_{-0.19}.
\end{equation}
Here we have also included the experimental value for the direct CP
asymmetry \cite{HFAG}. Although no stringent test of our predictions is
currently provided, the indicated agreement is very encouraging.

\section{The $B\to\pi K$ System}
If we use now the $SU(3)$ flavour symmetry and neglect exchange and
penguin annihilation topologies, we can convert the hadronic parameters in
(\ref{d-theta-x-Delta}) into their $B\to\pi K$ counterparts, allowing us to predict
the $B\to\pi K$ observables in the SM. Moreover, a couple of internal
consistency checks of these working assumptions can be performed, which
are nicely fulfilled by the current data, and the sensitivity of our SM predictions
on large non-factorizable $SU(3)$-breaking effects turns out to be surprisingly
small \cite{BFRS-05}. Consequently, no anomaly is indicated in this sector.

In the case of the $B^0_d\to\pi^-K^+$, $B^+\to\pi^+K^0$ system, where
EW penguins have a minor impact, we obtain a SM picture in accordance
with the data. In order to analyse the decays $B^+\to\pi^0K^+$ and
$B^0_d\to\pi^0K^0$, which are significantly affected by EW penguins,
it is useful to introduce
\begin{eqnarray}
R_{\rm c}&\equiv&2\left[\frac{\mbox{BR}(B^+\to\pi^0K^+)+
\mbox{BR}(B^-\to\pi^0K^-)}{\mbox{BR}(B^+\to\pi^+ K^0)+
\mbox{BR}(B^-\to\pi^- \bar K^0)}\right] \,\stackrel{\rm exp}{=}\, 1.01\pm 0.09\\
R_{\rm n}&\equiv&\frac{1}{2}\left[\frac{\mbox{BR}(B_d^0\to\pi^- K^+)+
\mbox{BR}(\bar B_d^0\to\pi^+ K^-)}{\mbox{BR}(B_d^0\to\pi^0K^0)+
\mbox{BR}(\bar B_d^0\to\pi^0\bar K^0)}\right] \,\stackrel{\rm exp}{=}\, 0.83\pm0.08.
\end{eqnarray}
The EW penguin effects are described by a parameter $q$, which measures
the strength of the EW penguins with respect to tree-diagram-like topologies,
and a CP-violating phase $\phi$. In the SM, this phase vanishes,
and $q$ can be calculated with the help of the $SU(3)$ flavour symmetry,
yielding a value of 0.58. The situation can transparently be discussed in the
$R_{\rm n}$--$R_{\rm c}$ plane, as shown in Fig.~\ref{fig:RnRc}:
the shaded areas indicate our SM prediction and the experimental range,
the lines show the theory predictions for the central values of the hadronic
parameters and various values of $q$ with $\phi\in[0^\circ,360^\circ]$;
the dashed rectangles represent the SM predictions and experimental ranges
at the time of our original analysis \cite{BFRS}.  Although the central values of
$R_{\rm n}$ and $R_{\rm c}$ have slightly moved towards each other, the
puzzle is as prominent as ever.
The experimental region can now be reached without an enhancement of $q$,
but a large CP-violating phase $\phi$ of the order of $-90^\circ$ is
still required, although $\phi\sim+90^\circ$ can also bring us rather close
to the experimental range of $R_{\rm n}$ and $R_{\rm c}$.

We may also predict the CP-violating asymmetries of the
$B^\pm\to\pi^0 K^\pm$ and $B_d\to\pi^0K_{\rm S}$ decays both in the SM
and in our NP scenario. In particular the mixing-induced CP asymmetry
of the latter decay has recently received a lot of attention, as the current
$B$-factory data yield a value of $-0.38\pm 0.26$ for
$\Delta S \equiv (\sin2\beta)_{\pi^0K_{\rm S}}-
(\sin2\beta)_{\psi K_{\rm S}}$. We predict this difference to be {\it positive}
in the SM, and in the ballpark of $0.10$--$0.15$ \cite{BFRS-05}. Interestingly,
the best values for $(q,\phi)$ that are implied by $R_{\rm n,c}$ make the
disagreement of $\Delta S$ with the data even larger than in the SM. However,
also values of $(q,\phi)$ can be found for which $\Delta S$ could be smaller than
in the SM or even reverse the sign \cite{BFRS-05}.

\section{Rare $K$ and $B$ Decays}
An important feature of our strategy is a connection between the
$B\to\pi\pi,\pi K$ modes and rare decays of the kind $K^+\to\pi^+\nu\bar\nu$,
$K_{\rm L}\to\pi^0\nu\bar\nu$, $K_{\rm L}\to\pi^0\ell^+\ell^-$, $B\to X_s\nu \bar\nu$
and $B_{s,d}\to\mu^+\mu^-$. If we assume that the dominant NP contributions
enter through the $Z^0$-penguin function $C$ and make the renormalization-group
evolution from scales ${\cal O}(M_W,m_t)$ down to ${\cal O}(m_b)$, we can
directly explore the interplay of the modified EW penguin sector with these rare
decays, which shows that we may encounter sizeable effects, in particular
in the $K\to\pi\nu\bar\nu$ system. In \cite{BFRS-05}, we point out that the most
recent $B$-factory constraints for rare decays have interesting new implications,
and discuss  a few  future scenarios. We look forward to confronting our strategy
with more accurate data!
