The first step towards designing new cancer drugs
Researchers co-led by scientists from the University of Kent (Canterbury, UK) and Goethe University (Frankfurt, Germany) have identified a first step in the design of a new generation of anti-cancer therapeutics.
Novel research from a group co-led by the University of Kent (Canterbury, UK) and Goethe University (Frankfurt, Germany) has identified the first step towards designing and producing a new class of anti-cancer drugs, information that could lead to more tailored therapy for patients suffering from drug-resistant cancers.
The majority of anti-cancer therapies fail due to drug resistance, and as such it is a major cause of patient deaths despite the strides made in cancer treatment in recent decades. Cures are in general achieved by early detection of cancer, followed by localized therapy with a combination of surgery and radiotherapy, with the prognosis grim once cancer cells have travelled through the body and formed secondary tumors (metastases).
Effective systemic drug therapies are therefore urgently needed to treat metastatic disease, but many cancers are characterized by intrinsic or acquired resistance. One of the most significant resistance mechanisms in cancer cells is the action of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters, which act to move anti-cancer drugs from cancerous cells.
Of these, ABCB1 is the most relevant, and previous attempts to target it with therapeutics have failed, in large because ABCB1 is expressed throughout the body, particularly at tissue barriers such as the gastro-intestinal barrier and the blood brain barrier. Any targeted therapeutics have therefore resulted in toxic side-effects, affecting the body distribution of other molecules such as drugs and food constituents.
This novel research demonstrates that certain ABCB1 inhibitors specifically interfere with ABCB1-mediated transport of some anti-cancer drugs, providing a first step toward designing combinations of anti-cancer drugs and ABCB1 inhibitors. These future combination therapies could, in theory, cause the accumulation of cancer drugs in cancer cells without affecting the body distribution of other key molecules, providing hope for metastatic disease.

There is a massive misconception today in the world of course creators, speakers, and influencers.
It's a blind spot that's caused a lot of people who genuinely want to make a difference in the world – and have the experience and skillset to do it – to lose a LOT of time and money.
And the worst part is, it's been perpetuated by "leaders" you're supposed to be able to look up to as an example of how to succeed with this business model.
Those 2 words, "business model" are the missing piece for far too many aspiring influencers – and the reason is dead simple.
You either:
#1: Don't have a complete picture of the business model and what it takes to succeed, or:
#2: You refuse to accept the truth about the business model out of greed and laziness.
This case study shows without doubt the structure required for influencers, course creators, and speakers to succeed today – and it does it with a bang.
The Scoop on Marco's "Breakeven" Live Webinars
If I told you that you could do a live webinar and sell $10,000 worth of an online course that includes 4 tickets for your customers and their family to come to your live event…
But you wouldn't make ANY money from that $10,000…
(In fact, you might even lose up $5,000 from the cost of advertising spend)
Would you do it?
If your answer is no, then you're not ready to create an online course. And that's ok.
If your answer is yes, then you understand the influencer business model… just like Marco does.
See, Marco spent a total of $33,800 on advertising over the course of 3 live webinars.
These webinars brought in $34,866 in revenue, making it a "breakeven" effort.
That's not including Marco's time, or what he paid us to help him do it.
If this was the only judge of success from the campaign, let's be honest – it would a failure.
No one wants to spend months of time, energy, and money creating something that only "breaks even".
The Last 5 Sentences Are Why Most Influencers FAIL.
The story that some "leaders" still perpetuate about creating an online course and building a "lifestyle" business from it… is dead.
It's a lie.
If you believe it with even a fraction of your being, then you need to some find that idea in your head…
… And either proverbially take it behind the barn…
Or switch businesses and do something else entirely.
There was a time when you could create e-books and build a business selling only information.
That time is gone.
This is the new business model, and it's how you succeed in earning an amazing income, building a successful business, and making a real impact in the world.
How $34,866 of Revenue From a "Breakeven Campaign" Turned Into $480,000 in Profits…
I mentioned that Marco's offer on the live webinar was for his online training, plus 4 tickets for his new customers and their families to come to his live events.
Marco holds a new live event around the U.S every month or two, which is where his customers come for a 3-day "deep dive workshop".
Customers come to implement what he teaches in the online course and the 3-day event, and his promise is simple:
He will grab them by the scruff and keep them there until they actually DO what they came there to do.
Now, because Marco's amazing, and he:
- Does what he teaches himself
- Has the experience and skillset to deliver on the promise of his live event and high end coaching programs
- Genuinely cares about getting his customers results (he has the most amazing and massive amount of testimonials I've ever seen)
… Because of all that, he is extremely successful at the most important part of this business model:
Selling high-dollar programs.
That's right, the $480,000 in profits came from Marco selling $20,000+ coaching programs to the leads and customers our "breakeven" live webinars generated.
And that's what makes the whole thing work.
Here's The 4-Step Business Model You Need If You Want to Succeed
The influencer model we use with clients like Marco is quite simple, and I invite and encourage you to use it – or work with me and my team to implement it.
Step 1: Your website and social media builds a brand people trust, and an audience of "followers".
Step 2: "Lead magnet" giveaways generate leads so that you can build a relationship with them.
Step 3: Live webinars generate online sales somewhere between 50% ROAS (return on ad spend) and "breakeven".
Step 4: Leads and sales are ascended to high dollar products and services by either getting on the phone with you (or your sales team), or coming to a live event where you make your offer.
Think of your influencer business as a house you're building.
Steps 1 – 3 build the foundation, pour the concrete, and put the walls up.
Step 4 puts a roof on the home so you it doesn't get destroyed when it rains, and so that you can enjoy a nice, safe space to thrive when the sun shines.
If you're just getting started in this business, I hope you've read this and soaked it up before you've wasted too much time or energy. If you want help building your business the right way at an investment that makes sense for you, me and my team can help.
And if you're a more experienced entrepreneur looking to grow and scale faster, we can take you to the next level.

Vic Mensa doubles down.
Vic Mensa isn't backing down from his diss aimed at the late rapper XXXTentacion. The 2018 BET Hip-Hop Awards took place this pace weekend at The Fillmore Miami Beach at Jackie Gleason Theater in Miami Beach. The event was star-studded, and X was awarded the Best New Artist award posthumously. His mother, Cleopatra Bernard, accepted the award on his behalf. Prior to the heartfelt moment though, Vic Mensa used his pre-recorded cypher to take a shot at X and his legacy.
DJ Scheme took to Twitter after the cypher was played for the audience, writing, "yo bro how u gone say 'Your favorite rapper is an abuser' and then follow it with a line saying 'some shit X some shit so I won't live long' u can deny it but everyone who was there heard that shit." The diss will be exposed to the world when the BET Hip-Hop Awards air on October 16.
Vic took to Instagram on Monday (October 8) to double down on his stance. "Protect women. Domestic & sexual abuse are not excusable because you have talent or you are troubled," wrote Vic as the caption to a video post. In the video, the Chicago rapper does take a moment to acknowledge that he did not know X's mother was in attendance. "It was pre-recorded weeks ago, and I had no idea that a grieving mother would be in the audience to honor her lost son," states Vic. "I never intended to disrespect her, and I offer my deepest condolences for her loss at the hands of gun violence. However, I vehemently reject the trend in hip-hop of championing abusers and I will not hold my tongue about it."

I can't stand phonies
The word "phony" as it is used in the context of this particular article is I guess a slang word which actually means hypocrite. So, when you say that someone is a phony – you mean in effect that he or she is a hypocrite, and my friend as the title of today's article so simply and succinctly puts it, I can't stand phonies – no I can't. "Why?" you may query. Well, my friend, because they are daily putting on an act, trying to fool everyone as to who they are and what they're all about. But as that well-known saying puts it, "you can fool some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time." No, you most definitely cannot.
So, when a person is really a hypocrite, a phony and thus doing their very best to present themselves as someone other than who they are, in reality they really are not in the long run, fooling anyone other than themselves. But, my friend, there is another very important reason why no one should have any inclination to be a hypocrite, a phony and it is this.
As I have relayed to you my valued readers on many, many occasions in these articles over the years, you are a very unique child of God, imbued at birth with an abundance of unique and special talents. So, you really are something special. So, if you understand this fact of life, both emotionally and intellectually, well then, you'll be very happy with yourself and thus will have no need to be in any way phony.
Yes, my friend, let's face it, you're a magnificent creation of God, fully equipped with ability and talent to be an outstanding success – yes you are. So, there's really no reason whatsoever for you to try to portray yourself as something which you are not, for you've actually got it all going for you, to use the vernacular. So just be the magnificent you the Creator made and you'll succeed beyond your wildest dreams.

My name is Effy Wild, and I'm on line art journal teacher, creativity facilitator, and shenanigans instigator.
You have found my FREE collection of resources, tutorials, speed paintings, videos, and even full workshops that I've created for my former and current students, fans, lovely Patreon and newsletter subscribers.
Whenever something new is uploaded to this space, I will let you know so you can come find it!
I've been teaching on line for almost 8 years now, and in that time, I have gathered up the most delicious, gorgeous collection of students & readers – beloveds every one – who I call my Wildlings. My Wildlings (BODKin, Moonbeams or otherwise) make what I do possible by sharing my offerings, signing up for my classes, and joining me on Patreon. I am fiercely devoted to doing whatever I can to help my people develop an intensely effective creative practice, whether the endeavour is about staying spiritually connected, documenting one's life, staying artistically inspired, or just flinging paint.
This collection represents years of experimentation, play, and diving into the learning curve that's been this thing called 'teaching on line'. Some of these offerings used to be 'for pay', but I've retired them and added them here for freesies. Some were created specifically in answer to some need I saw in my virtual community.

German Elections On The Horizon
While markets are currently focused on the Dutch elections, with voters in the Netherlands taking to the polls today, and then the upcoming French elections on April 23rd, it is easy to forget that Germany will soon also be taking to the polls. Although voting in Germany is a little further of, with the federal election to be held on September 24th, the race has heated up in recent weeks.
Schultz Breathes New Life into SPD
The lead held by the CDU/CSU party over the SPD party has narrowed from 15% to 2% following the nomination of Martin Schultz. The decision by the former President of the European Parliament to leave and run for Chancellor in Germany has caused a surge in support for the Social Democratic Party which are running as the main opponents of Angela Merkel's CDU/CSU.
Schultz is seen as a far more relatable, real-life figure than Merkel with an interesting life-story including having failed to finish high school, struggling with Alcoholism before opening a bookstore and then going on to teach himself six languages. Indeed, recent polls show the popularity of the former European Parliament President reaching as high as 50% while Merkel lingers behind at just 38%.
Six months ahead of #Germanelections social democrats closing in on #Merkel's conservatives. Right populist Party #AfD weakening: pic.twitter.com/RatTOmRVCc
— DW | Politics (@dw_politics) March 10, 2017
"Make Europe Great Again"
A large portion of Schultz's popularity is stemming from a social media where fans of the SPD candidate are actively spreading slogans and promotional material to drum up attention such as youtube videos which declare "The Schultz train is rolling". Fans of Schultz who view him as an anti-Trump are also spreading the acronym MEGA which stands for "Make Europe Great Again". The slogan is a play on Trump's own "Make America Great Again" slogan while the poster itself mimics the Obama "Hope" poster.
Immigration Policy In The Spotlight
Angela Merkel has come under sharp criticism over recent years due to her stance on immigration which rivals deem an "open door policy". In 2015 890,000 people arrived in Germany from Syria, Afghanistan and various African countries. While initially German's responded warmly to the new arrivals in their country, the mood has now soured with growing protests and in some regions outright xenophobia.
Indeed, many migrants have now been subject to deportation from Germany. However, critics of the deportation push suggest that many of those being deported are hard-working immigrants who play by the rules and so are easier to find and deport than perhaps more sinister elements who simply vanish from the system once they've arrived.
Trump Attacks Merkel
Incumbent German Chancellor has also come under attack internationally for her stance on immigration, most notably from US President Donald Trump who deemed her immigration policy a "catastrophic mistake". The two leaders are expected to discuss Germany's immigration policy along with a host of other key topics when they meet later this week.
Schultz Speaks Out
A surge in support for SPD and Martin Schultz is an encouraging sign for many Europeans at a time when ultra-nationalism and populism are threatening to take the European Union to the edge. Schultz has already been vocal about his view on the current CSU/CDU collaboration which he calls a "forced marriage" saying that the two parties "don't talk to each other they talk about each other". The SPD candidate has also criticised Donald Trump for slandering "those with impairments, disabilities or minorities" and for calling "women's rights into question".
Merkel has also been vocal over recent weeks speaking during the Ash Wednesday rallies to say that "The CDU is taking care of the future. The others can focus on the past". Her comments were aimed at criticism from the SPD about safety in Germany with the Chancellor saying that the CDU helped make Germany one of the safest countries in the world.
Investors will be keen to see how the Dutch elections and upcoming French elections impact sentiment in Germany. The hope is that if centrist parties can prevail there then more extreme, populist views can also be avoided in Germany, providing support for the future of the European Union.

By Ed Peak
Yes. I got way too excited last year thinking about the 2018 college football season. I predicted 10-2 for Louisville, which heralded "Speed City" on the cover of the media guide.
The only speed I saw was how fast Athletic Director Vince Tyra got Bobby Petrino and run his mess out out of town. You know the stories too well. Whether the team quit on Bobby or Bobby quit on the team. Debatable.
I got 10 but in the wrong column. Barely got victories over Division I-A Indiana State and Western Kentucky. It was a long frustrating season for Card Nation. The Cardinals were hard pressed to stop anyone. Heck, the defense, which returns eight starters, gave up 50 points, seven times.
Offensively, Louisville never settled on its starting quarterback. Junior Jawon Pass and sophomore Malik Cunngham exchanged good and bad games as they flipped in and out of the starting lineup.
Enough about the worst season in Cardinal football. Let's take a brief look at the upcoming season. First year coach Scott Satterfield started changing the culture around the program the day he arrived. Had to, it was so bad.
A proven winner at Appalachian State of the Sun Belt Conference, the Mountaineers, won three straight conference titles and three bowl games.
The over under for wins this season is four. I think optimistically five is the number. Why? Louisville has talent and some grad players and transfers. Except for Notre Dame and Clemson, I don't see any dominent teams on the schedule.
As bad as the Cardinals were, I think with a few breaks and some confidence building by the coaches in a new atmosphere, the Louisville can be competitive.
We will find out in the opener, Sunday, September 2nd, against the Irish. Eastern Kentucky, Western Kentucky in Nashville should be wins. Florida State in Tallahassee doesn't scare teams like it used to do. Coach Willie Taggert is still finding his way in Seminole Country.
Boston College and at Wake Forest are winnable games. Clemson is not. The defending national champions come to The Ville looking for another title down the road. Virginia won't be easy and Miami will have a first year head coach in Manny Diez.
North Carolina State is always tough in Raleigh. Syracuse had a breakout season last year. As usual rival Kentucky at Krogrer Field finishes the season. The Wildcats are better now, but who knows by the Saturday after Thanksgiving.
A 6-6 finish and a bowl game is asking a little much. But keep your fingers crossed. My prediction 5-7, with wins over Eastern Kentucky, Western Kentucky, Boston College, Syracuse, and Wake Forest. Losses to Notre Dame, Clemson, Miami, North Carolina State, and (gag) Kentucky. Florida State is a toss-up.
The long grind back to respectability for UofL football begins this season.

Download Inspire 1 Sample 4k Video
Download Inspire 1 Sample Photo (DNG)
In 2014, DJI, the world's largest consumer drone manufacturer, announced the Inspire 1. Trailing on the success of the Phantom line of easy to fly camera quadcopter, the Inspire 1 is an all-in-one system that is aimed squarely at the prosumer market segment. I've been following and using DJI products for a few years now and I have to say they've really done a nice job with the Inspire 1. Here is my full review.
My first experience with DJI was when I purchased a DJI Naza flight controller to be the brain in a custom built hexacopter I built in my garage. It wasn't long after that they introduced the first Phantom quadcopter which quickly became the most popular and recognizable quadcopter in the world. I waited and ended up purchasing the second generation Phantom with the 3 axis gimbal. It's clear that DJI has learned volumes from their Phantom line and has put a tremendous amount of thought and engineering into combining multiple technologies and features into the ultimate flying camera.
Camera & Gimbal
With the Zenmuse line, DJI brought us first a 2 axis and then a 3 axis gimbal for carrying a gopro camera under a Phantom quadcopter. These gimbals offered fantastically stabilized video images. Unfortunately, both versions of these gimbals were plagued with issues including jittery motors, random failures, and weak connecting ribbon cables. The gimbal and camera that come with the Inspire 1 are one modular unit. It's safe to say DJI has nailed it this time. Some Inspire 1 users are calling it a Sky-pod (tripod in the sky). The gimbal is deadly stable. It's so stable that it is possible to take a long exposure at night with the Inspire 1 and achieve a result without motion blur. It's simply amazing.
One thing to keep in mind with the Inspire 1 is that it's a little more difficult to travel with that the smaller Phantom line. The landing gear of the Inspire 1 pivot up and out of the way of the camera – which is a really nice feature. Unfortunately, you have to put the landing gear into "travel mode" in order to get it back into the included carry case. Getting the multirotor into travel mode requires you to remove the camera & gimbal, and then flipping the landing gear transformation switch up and down 4 times until the Inspire 1 raises it's landing gear to the midpoint so you can pack it up. This has to be done while the unit is sitting on the ground because it uses it's ground facing sensors to determine how low to lower the body of the aircraft. In other words, you can't hold the unit in one hand and have it go into travel mode, which might be annoying if you are at a remote location and don't have a suitable place to set the unit down while it transforms.
The 12 megapixel camera does a decent job and has several modes:
Single shoot
Burst shooting: 3/5/7 frames
Auto Exposure Bracketing (AEB): 3/5 bracketed frames at 0.7EV Bias
It's definitely a better stills camera than any of the gopro cameras like I fly on the Phantom 2. I find the dynamic range in the Raw files a little disappointing, but it's definitely better than JPGs from either the gopro or the Inspire 1 camera.
My favorite feature of this flying camera system is the ability to control all of the camera settings including stopping and starting a recording or snapping a picture all from the smartphone or tablet connected to the controller. The Inspire 1 truly feels like the worlds first aerial camera, instead of just a hobby multirotor with a camera strapped on as an after-thought.
Video comes in different modes as well:
UHD (4K): 4096x2160p24/25, 3840x2160p24/25/30
FHD: 1920x1080p24/25/30/48/50/60
HD: 1280x720p24/25/30/48/50/60
It's definitely comparable to the latest gopro 4k video in my opinion, only it lacks that annoyingly ultra-wide fisheye lens that earmarks all gopro footage.
Here's some sample video from Manti Utah:
If you've ever used a Phantom or Phantom 2 controller you'll know that it feels like fairly cheap. DJI has really stepped up the quality on the Inspire 1 controller. There is a serious heft to the unit and it feels like a polished Apple product. DJI has integrated their lightbridge video downlink system into the Inspire 1 and controller which is allows for long range HD live view of what your Inspire 1 camera sees. It's really well thought out with dedicated buttons or switches for common functions. Each controller come with a sturdy mounting bracket for holding your tablet or smartphone connected with USB. The HDMI output is a nice touch for those interested in live streaming for news, concerts, or other events.
The DJI Inspire 1 is a serious kit aimed at the video or photo pro who wants an all-in-one package that's easy to take and go. I would even say that it's aimed at those focusing on doing aerial exclusively, and not using drones as just another camera tool. If you are a one-man-team out shooting run and gun style like much of what I do, I think the Phantom 3 might be a better fit. Dual remote options allows you to bring a camera operator along to frame a shot while the pilot focuses on piloting. This certainly is a nice feature, but I often find it's easier to get the shot I want if I'm in full control without a camera operator.
The package is definitely more difficult to travel with than the Phantom line. I could see myself wanting a Phantom 3 for airline travel or those smaller projects where the Inspire 1 would be too much weight and hassle.
To sum it up, I love the Inspire 1. At around $3,600 USD it's a solid flying camera kit that comes at a premium price.

Infiniti partners with CarGarantie
Europe-wide premium cover
Freiburg-based warranty specialist CG Car-Garantie Versicherungs-AG has concluded an agreement with Nissan International Services Company SARL through which three warranty products are being offered for the Infiniti luxury brand. The agreement applies to Germany, Austria, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxemburg, and covers new, used and young vehicles. With this deal, another importer is placing its trust in CarGarantie's service.
Premium cover for premium vehicles
The warranty products Advantage Preferred for new cars and Infiniti Approved for used and young cars mean that Infiniti customers will enjoy comprehensive damage cover from now on. With all three products offering full protection, virtually every part or component will be covered, with few exceptions.
Anyone purchasing an Infiniti will have the option of taking out the Advantage Preferred warranty at any time provided that their Infiniti vehicle is no older than 36 months after its initial registration or reaches no more than 100,000 km total mileage. Infiniti Approved is even free for anyone purchasing a used Infiniti car: Every vehicle signed up to the Infiniti Approved programme will automatically come with this warranty. To qualify, used vehicles must not be older than six years from their initial registration date or have reached a mileage of more than 150,000 km; for young cars, the restrictions are 36 months or 100,000 km.
International cooperation
In signing this new agreement, CarGarantie and Nissan, which have already been partnering on new car extended warranties and used car warranties for over 15 years, are extending their cooperation into further territories. As a result, the warranty cover will now apply Europe-wide. Vehicle owners will receive swift and comprehensive assistance even if the damage occurs outside the country where the warranty was concluded. In future, Infiniti customers will therefore enjoy reliable cross-border coverage.
Dr. Marcus Söldner, Chief Sales Officer
"As a premium brand, Infiniti has high expectations of its partners and we feel honoured that the quality of the warranties and service that CarGarantie offers proved to be a compelling argument in their decision-making process. Through the Advantage Preferred and Infiniti Approved products that have been developed in cooperation with Nissan, Infiniti customers will have the option of being covered against unanticipated costs. In doing so, we are helping to meet Infiniti owner demands, including for used vehicles, and we can further extend our long-standing partnership with Nissan."

McCartney at Candlestick Park
- Cirque de Soleil's "Love" at the Mirage - June 30, 2020
- Global Beatles Day 2020 - June 24, 2020
- Go Fug Yourself: John and Yoko at Cannes with matching couple shirts - May 13, 2020
NANCY CARR • Who can open a sold-out arena show with two songs he worked on that were released nearly 50 years apart? That would be Paul McCartney, who started his August 14 Candlestick Park concert with "Eight Days A Week" (1964) and "Save Us" (2013). McCartney closed down Candlestick in a rain of firework sparks and confetti, after playing 40 songs that often had the crowd singing, clapping, and dancing along. At this point it can be easy to take his shows for granted: you know certain songs will be played, that Roman candles will be set off during "Live and Let Die," that McCartney's one, wryly announced "costume change" consists of taking off his jacket and rolling up his sleeves. But the quality of the music, his still-formidable performance chops, and most of all the energetic glee he takes in playing live, make a McCartney show an experience like nothing else.
At 72, McCartney well knows "I go back so far I'm in front of me." How does he not only live with, but go on presenting himself as a public figure with, such a well-known and and often contested past? After seeing this show, I'm convinced he does it by performing the past. Doing so, he brings it into the present and acknowledges it as past. In every show, McCartney invokes yesterday and tries to work out how to live with it today.
McCartney's Ever Present Past
These days his concert setlist includes many Beatles songs that the Beatles never did for an audience. It's as if during those non-touring years he built up a head of performance steam that he's still releasing. He played 16 Beatles songs released after the band stopped touring, including "Paperback Writer," "All Together Now," "Lovely Rita," "Ob-la-di, Ob-la-da" "Golden Slumbers," "Carry That Weight," and "The End." He also highlighted which of his post-Beatles songs he did with Wings, even putting up the Wings hand sign a couple of times.
Throughout, McCartney was never still, switching from bass to guitar to piano and back, rocking on his Cuban-heeled boots while singing, even turning his back and shaking his butt for the camera. It's a knowing performance that includes a sharp recognition of what people want to see, but he seems to offer it freely and without resentment. It's what the audience wants, but hey, it appears to be what he wants too.
Just because the show was so good—McCartney in surprisingly fine voice, his playing and the band's consistently excellent—I chafed at its limitations. I wished McCartney had drawn more on the last three decades of his solo work. Apart from "Here Today," released in 1982, everything was from the sixties, the seventies, or his most recent two albums. I may be an outlier in this respect, but I'd have happily dropped a few of the Beatles tunes to hear McCartney do something like "My Brave Face," "The Songs We Were Singing," "Run Devil Run," "Fine Line," or "Ever Present Past."
And I wanted him to tell more different stories, more different jokes, to be more unpredictable generally. Why stay with the same thing, when he must know—mustn't he?—that the audience would go willingly with him.
Juggling Public Performance and Private Emotion
But McCartney won't—or, I think more accurately, can't—give us that kind of unpredictability. That he gave us two and a half hours of great music, while appearing to enjoy being there as much as anyone in the audience, will have to be enough. Increasingly I think that the elements of sameness are a form of protection, a way of staving off the past's power when it might overwhelm him. Most obviously, the anecdotes about John Lennon and George Harrison seem to make it possible for McCartney to acknowledge their deaths in a way that feels safe in front of tens of thousands of people. He's willing to open himself publicly, but only so far, and he's determined in advance exactly how far that is. I think the parts of the show's structure that don't change make him feel secure enough to keep performing, because they reassure him that he's not giving away too much of his private self.
Thus McCartney introduced "Here Today" as he always has, as a conversation between him and John Lennon "that we never got to have." But the song itself sounded rawer emotionally than the recorded version, perhaps because of the limitations of McCartney's aging voice. The entire audience was silent as we watched McCartney, standing alone on a raised platform that had a flowing waterfall projected on it, sing this song so clearly born from pain and regret. Trying to stand on moving water, I thought—that's what being Paul McCartney, perennial ex-Beatle, must feel like sometimes. Whether you interpret that waterfall as the inexorable passage of time or as "water under the bridge," standing on it renders instability visible. No wonder he feels he can't let his guard down too far.
McCartney's secret
My favorite moment of the evening came during the second encore, when McCartney said he would do "the last song we played at Candlestick." He proceeded to bust out "Long Tall Sally," a daring move for a septuagenarian. As he sang fresh energy seemed to crackle from him, and he looked lost in song, all guardedness forgotten. Behind him scenes from the Beatles' 1966 Candlestick show were being projected. And as I looked simultaneously at an image of the young McCartney performing and at the veteran onstage, I felt the tumblers of a combination lock clicking into place, allowing the door to swing open and show us all McCartney's secret: at the deepest possible level, deeper than the hype or the occasionally gratingly ingratiating public persona, lies a man forever enraptured by playing and sharing music. Now as then, he's getting a genuine kick out of his gift and seeing people love what he does with it.
I carried the memory of that moment away with me. It could not be tarnished even by the unbelievably tortuous journey out of the stadium and then the parking lot (if someone had set up the concert to show why the only reasonable thing to do with Candlestick Park was tear it down already, they would have proved their case many times over). It still seems unbelievable to me that I, just a few weeks old when the Beatles played Candlestick, got to see Paul McCartney shut the place down with such undimmed verve and joy.
6 Comments
Nancy, have you read "Man on the Run," the recently published book of interviews with McCartney? The pages I read in the Amazon preview look really interesting. The interviewer is quite open about how difficult it is to break down PM's resistance to spontaneity. He writes that while PM can be quite predictable in his non-answers, other times he will "kill himself laughing" as he chats on the phone while driving behind a tour bus in Los Angeles, or go off on a great swearing streak when asked about his "thumbs up, happy chappy" persona.
Exclusive: Paul & Johnny Depp:
Earlier this summer Paul McCartney released a video for his song "Early Days" which featured him playing with a roomful of blues musicians and Johnny Depp.
Reading about it made me miss him so much. I have just seen him in concert too, for the first time. And I miss him! It was very much like you said. But he started the show singing "Magical Mistery Tour" which I think it was even better than "8 days a Week". It was an invitation to roll up…And we all entered in a magical world. Another difference is he didn't explain anything about "Here Today". Only it was for John. And of course you didn't have the chance to listen to him speaking in Portuguese. Delightfull. We Brazilians loved every second. Paul is indeed carrying the Beatles torch.
[…] on the Beatles, as well as on a wide range of other musicians and performers through the decades. I wrote about seeing Paul McCartney perform "Long Tall Sally" at Candlestick park back in 2014, and that […]

Every now and again, someone will say something, a simple phrase that will cause a major ripple in your thought process. That happened to me recently in a client meeting.
One of the participants was sharing a story about his 12-year-old developmentally-disabled daughter, talking about all that she has taught him as a father. Then, he shared a piece of wisdom provided to him by her pediatrician. The doctor explained that one of the biggest challenges that parents of disabled children face is that they inadvertently place limits on their children, lowering expectations because of their disability. The physician said, "Don't put a top rung on your daughter's ladder."
As I reflected on that physician's words, I quickly came to realize that this is a challenge that extends far beyond just parents of disabled children. So often we make snap judgments regarding a person's potential — either they've got it or they don't. Once we've dropped them into one of these categories, it largely defines how we will interact with them from that point moving forward.
Creating Limitations For Success
The challenge is that those snap judgments simply are not a good determinant of one's potential. After all, a snap judgment would say a man who stood at 5'3'' could never play professional basketball, yet at 5'3," Muggsy Bogues played 14 seasons as a point guard in the NBA. A snap judgment would say a child who didn't learn to speak until the age of four wouldn't make much of a ripple in the world, yet Albert Einstein went on to win a Nobel Prize and shape the pillars of modern-day physics. A snap judgment would say a homeless, single mother on welfare could never become one of the world's bestselling authors, yet that is exactly what J.K. Rowling did with her Harry Potter series.
There are countless examples of people on whom we can easily make a snap judgment, placing a top rung on their potential and saying there is no way they can succeed, yet they go on to defy the odds.
As leaders, we must consider that perhaps our snap judgments on people and their potential aren't serving us or them. Maybe there are far more influential forces that drive a person's likelihood of success, something that simply can't be seen in a snap judgment — forces that allow a person to overcome what others might perceive as barriers or even insurmountable obstacles.
When you study the commonality in all peak performers, the forces that drive them to succeed become self-evident. They form a framework by which a person comes to understand, influence and drive their behavior in optimal ways, regardless of setbacks, obstacles or what others perceive.
Measuring Motivational Intelligence
Accountability, adaptability, resilience, initiative and courage are always present in those who succeed. These five characteristics are the outcome of a person's motivational intelligence. The bottom line is that you can't put a top rung on the ladder of a person who is motivationally intelligent. They will consistently defy the odds and find a way to succeed no matter what.
You see the proof of this every day all around you. You see it when you look at your best people, the ones you would hire 100 times over (if you could just find more like them). You see it every time a problem arises and someone takes ownership of finding a solution. You see it in your most adaptable people — the ones who can roll with all the changes, brush off the challenges and still find a way to succeed.
People with high motivational intelligence possess the five core characteristics that we value most as business leaders — the ones that make all the difference:
1. Their higher motivational intelligence causes them to be highly accountable. The insistent reliance on pointing fingers, blaming others and making excuses is not something they waste mental energy on. Rather, they take ownership of their goals and achievements and find solutions to their challenges.
2. People with high motivational intelligence are also extremely adaptable. They are open-minded and willing to listen. Where others drag their feet in resistance, they broaden their horizons. When they run into roadblocks, they constructively adjust their approach and just keep looking for ways to win.
3. A resilient perspective is another key characteristic of people with high motivational intelligence. They refuse to be thrown off-track at the slightest bit of resistance. Their positive perspective and quiet confidence relentlessly propel them forward.
4. They have a willingness to take initiative. When they see a problem, they work to fix it. Their higher motivational intelligence causes them to be more driven to accomplish goals and be self-motivated regarding success.
5. And last but not least, people with high motivational intelligence move with courage. It's not that they don't experience the emotions of fear or doubt, they simply have the ability to override these self-limiting feelings. The prospect of change doesn't hold them back, they recognize it as part of the natural order of life.
Consider this for a moment: If you saw higher levels of accountability, adaptability, resilience, initiative and courage in someone, is there really anything that could stop them? Is there a top rung on the ladder to their success?
How about from an organizational perspective? What if accountability, adaptability, resilience, initiative and courage were key cornerstones that were fostered as part of the team culture? How different would the organization look? What could be accomplished?
As organizational leaders, every day our actions breed something. There are causes and effects to the ways in which we interact with our people. Are we putting a top rung on their ladder or are we perpetuating the characteristics that will propel them to never-ending levels of success?
David Naylor, EVP of 2logical, works with global leaders to shift organizational mindsets, improve culture and impact performance.

Local food and other delusions

Locavores may be disappointed to know the "local" label on restaurant food doesn't always mean it's from around here.
The best farming advice Tom Henry ever got came from established Metchosin farmers John and Lorraine Buchanan. Their words? "Don't do it." To which Henry and wife Violaine Mitchell, determined to expand their farm, replied, "No. We're gonna do it." To which the Buchanans repeated, "Don't. Do. It."
Now, six years later, they partner on many projects. At first, "they just really tried to scare the shit out of us," Henry laughs.
Rightly so. A farming life is "all-consuming." Forget taking off for a holiday or even an impromptu dinner party in town when you have animals to feed and tend. Even more than the time it takes is the money, more of which has gone into Henry's Stillmeadow Farm than he has seen from it. "We could have put a swimming pool in the backyard or something and that would be the same as six years of farming," he says, joking, but not. "The reality of farming is that almost all farms are subsidized either by the government or by off-farming income," says Henry, who supplements his own income by publishing Small Farm Canada, a magazine for farmers.
Still, he smiles, "It's a trade-off I am totally happy making." He seems far more content than one would expect of any man who has, count 'em, nine landlords. Though he owns two acres, he actually farms ninety. It's a mutually beneficial model for landowners, who get a tax break, and farmers who could otherwise never afford the land. "Farming is something different than owning the land," he observes.
He talks affectionately and at a youthful clip about the sheep, pigs and chickens that graze and shelter on various green pockets throughout Metchosin and end up on tables at local restaurants such as the Pink Bicycle and Devour. Yours too, if you please: the farm store is open 11-1pm on Sundays (4198 Stillmeadow Road). The holly at Thrifty Foods come Christmastime grows here, as does wheat for Wildfire Bakery.
"Really, the thrill of planting ten acres of wheat is the same as the thrill of planting a four-foot row of peas or carrots. Somehow, I just get a high off of being part of creation. I think that's fundamental to what really turns farmers on," Henry reflects.
That's why he always had a garden, even in previous lives studying at UVic, writing for Monday Magazine, travelling, and a stint teaching at UVic. He wrote award-winning books on BC's local and nautical history, worked on tugboats, cut wood. One tome was a history of Duncan, where he was born in '61. In 1995, he documented his move to the country in Dogless in Metchosin and The Ideal Dog and Other Delusions, collections of humorous, often touching essays that he also broadcast on the CBC.
Now, looking out his sunny kitchen window with two happy dogs nudging at his hands, he confides, "There's no way I could write those now because I am so immersed in this place… I contribute to the community and the community contributes to my life. I have traded novelty and freshness for long term participation and support."
Besides, once you start a magazine, you can forget about writing books. In 2004, he, Mitchell and Peter Chettleburgh founded Small Farms Canada, a magazine linking farmers nation-wide with information and ideas. As editor, he's at the office five days a week. He thrives on the mix of physical and cerebral work required by the magazine and the farm. "It means you are never very good at one thing," he quips.
The first issue carried an article by Don Genova called "Fight Menu Fraud." It's still such a problem that Henry wrote of it again in a recent editorial. "We've definitely encountered it," he nods, explaining, "In the worst case, [restaurants] buy from us, use our farm name (or anybody's farm name), and then stop buying." Or maybe, say, a chef using local ingredients may resort to Sysco (a major restaurant supplier) once, move on, then his replacements follow suit and don't perform due diligence, leaving the menu to boast of local fare when none is present. "There is this grey area where I think most of the nefariousness goes on. It's careless. I have to think this, because it makes me so cross to think people are using farm names, and then buying from Sysco," Henry says. "It's really wrong for the eaters too, because there are quite a few people out there—my daughter's one of them—who will eat local meat or no meat at all," he says.
Diners who are concerned about having the local lamb's wool pulled over their eyes "have got to ask [servers], even research farm and restaurant websites," he advises. "You've just got to be a bit of a harder-working consumer to have a higher level of confidence."
That said, he sympathizes with establishments who want to "act locally" but can't make the logistical leap. A hotel chef recently ordered 30 fresh pork tenderloins from Henry. He had no choice but to turn him down. "What are we going to do with the rest of 30 pigs? That's a pile of pork for us. But he could get that from Sysco—the tenderloins would be fresh, but they'd come from godknowswhere, an industrial farm in Alberta or somewhere," he laments.
Re-localizing our food supply takes time. Some restaurants, like Camille's and Café Brio, are "unimpeachably supportive of local food," he says. Over time, they have nurtured relationships with suppliers and craft their menus according to availabilities and seasons. It took about a year for Stillmeadow Farm to produce the pork and The Village Butcher's (in Oak Bay) customers to accept higher prices, but "now we have a great relationship…and people are getting Vancouver Island pork—raised outside, happy pigs and all that—that is three days old."
Henry is proud of that, and given the nature of the process, cautions against a swift pendulum swing to exclusively local food production. "We are just trying to move incrementally towards self-sufficiency—and I don't even know if self-sufficiency is an admirable goal. If we only ate food from the soils of southern Vancouver Island, we'd all be very sick," he points out: Vancouver Island soil is selenium deficient. Besides, the amount of acreage needed for large-scale agriculture would mean some trees would be coming down, he warns. We need to make sure we go at a pace in which we can (sometimes literally) work the bugs out.
But it's the direction we should be heading, and Henry is optimistic. "There are so many young, smart, energetic people interested in farming right now, and that is so good for the future of farming," he says. It's good for the future of local food, too, so long as the new guard follow Henry's lead: persevere, take time to build relationships, and maybe even ignore the best advice you get.
While gratefully tagging along with Tom Henry as he fed his livestock, Aaren Madden was reminded how truly glorious is the straw-manure-mammal smell of barn. She even got to hold a piglet.

Corrections for EQE2012 DeltaPatents books now available

I have a question related to divisional validly filed and during period for renewal fee payment R51(2) for the parent while not paying the renewal fee in said period. E.g. D book II G14-12. You cite J4/86, why is the divisional validly filed. I read J4/86 and I doubt that it's the right reference.ReplyDelete
I have a further problem with the expression or definition of "loss of rights" . It's not clear for me how you have meant that loss of rights occur at the end of R51(2) and not at the end of the normal period.
I understood that G1/09 says something like that still substantive rights are derivable from the parent application, it's pending. Could it be that one can cite G1/09, although it is directed for the pediofd for the appeal against the refusal of the application.
The Hoekstra book cites several times that the loss of rights occurs at the end of the normal period and not at the end of the grace.
How do you see that?
There is the EQE Forum where this topic is discussed, but it very confusing. Some even question whether your suggested answer is right.
- Renewal fees are an unusual kind of fee, so you cannot just apply case law from other fees to them. You pay them before they are due or on the due date - R.51(1). If you are too late, you pay within a grace period of 6m with the additional fee - R.51(2)Delete
- The J4/86 citation is misleading - the support is not found in the decision itself, but in reasons 3.3 and 3.4. The decision is concerned with the loss of right if no request for examination was made under EPC1973 - there was a grace period that was modelled after the renewals fees grace period. In 3.3. and 3.4, it states that in the case of the renewal fees grace period, the loss of right was at the end of the 6m period. The decision then deviates from this, as it applies the grace period model to the restrictions placed on the request for examination period. I have changed the citation in our answer to J4/86 r. 3.3 & 3.4.
- When in doubt about what is going on, you should have a look at what the EPO does. At the level of the EQE, you can assume that the EPO follows the law.
- if you miss the due date (R.51(1) date), the EPO send s you a courtesy communication - GL (2012) A-X, 5.2.4:
"If the renewal fee has not been paid on or before the due date, it may be validly paid within six months of the said date, provided that the
additional fee is paid within this period .... Whilst the applicant's attention is drawn to this possibility, he may not invoke the omission of such notification"
- According to R.112(1), the EPO must send you a communication when you lose a right. This is not a "courtesy" communication - they have to send it to you.
- Therefore, if you do not get a loss of rights communication after the R.51(1) period, then you have not lost any rights.
- If you still do not pay with additional fee within the 6 months, you receive a R.112(1) communication. I could not find it in the Guidelines, but if you look through some old cases, you will find them.
For those of you using Visser, under A.86(1):4 he discusses the change in wording in the law made under EPC2000. He admits that the EPO has stated that the rewording does not change the date that the deemed withdrawal takes effect. For the EQE, this is where you stop reading. The EPO has stated that there is no change in date of deemed withdrawal, and you can ask one of your senior formalities officers, the letters from the EPO (courtesy after R.51(1), loss of rights after R.51(2) period) has not changed either. If you wish to file an appeal (after passing the EQE), you can read the rest of the section
J4/11 deals with a different situation. The divisional was filed after expiry of the 6m R.51(2) period for the parent, but a request for reestablishment was filed. Importantly, the request for re-establishment was refused.
J4/11 is entirely consistent with G1/09; A.67(4) - the parent was pending until deemed withdrawn. Any divisional filed after that is in principle not validly filed. The request for restablishment was refused, so the parent remained deemed withdrawn.
However, if the request for reestablishment had been succesful, then the loss of rights (deemed withdrawn) would never have occurred - A.122(3). It is the same if further processing was available and further processing was succesful - A.121(3), or (as mentioned in J4/11), if you request a decision - R.112(2) and the EPO agrees with you that there finding of loss of rights was incorrect, and the R.112(1) will be set aside (they will not take a decision - R.112(2), last sentence).
Is it clearer, or am I making it worse?
For the coming exam, I would certainly expect a question on G1/09, but based only on situation of the GL (2012) A-IV, 184.108.40.206. They have not asked that yet.
I doubt if they will ask you about J4/11 - they will save that for EQE2014 ;-)

Jerusalem and Foreign Embassies: Legal, Political, and Diplomatic Implications
PALESTINE - ISRAEL, 7 Jan 2019
Richard Falk | Global Justice in the 21st Century – TRANSCEND Media Service
6 Jan 2019 – This is a modified interview with Rodrigo Craveiro, Correio Braziliense, Jan 2019
Q1—A few days ago Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with president of Honduras and with Mike Pompeo in Brasilia to discuss establishing of an Israel embassy in Tegucigalpa and the transfer of Hondurean embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. Pompeo then travelled to Colombia to try to convince the government in Bogota to relocate its embassy in Jerusalem. How do you interpret these efforts and their implications?
A: It seems obvious that Israel is trying to induce enough governments to move their embassy to Jerusalem so as to weaken the legal, political, and diplomatic weight of the General Assembly Resolution of 22 December 2017 [Res. ES-10/L.22] that declared such an initiative by the United States to be 'null and void' by a vote of 128-9 (with 35 abstentions), finding the proposed move unlawful and lacking any political effect. Such a one-sided pushback by the UN was undertaken as an angry reaction to the announced decision of the U.S. Government to make such a move in defiance of the international consensus that had for 50 years overwhelmingly supported the consensus of governments that the future of Jerusalem would be determined by diplomatic negotiations between the parties, and any premature recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital would be inappropriate and disruptive. This challenge to this UN consensus has definitely become a high priority for Israel's foreign policy, at least so long as Netanyahu remains Prime Minister.
It may also be relevant that the upcoming Israeli elections on April 9th, and Netanyahu's troubles at home with corruption charges directed at him and his wife, provide an added incentive to show that he has achieved positive results from the perspective of the Zionist Project to extend Israel's national sovereignty to Jerusalem, as well as to most of the remaining portions of 'the promised land' supposedly belonging to Israel by biblical entitlement and historic tradition. Such Israeli expansionist ambitions and actions are encroachments on the inalienable right of self-determination belonging to the Palestinian people.
The U.S. motivations are related, but somewhat different. Of course, during the Trump presidency Israel can do no wrong, and what Israel wants, the U.S. does despite political opposition and moral opprobrium. The embassy move is a prime example of American unilateralism with respect to Jerusalem. Additionally, the U.S. Government wants to be less diplomatically isolated on a global level, and thus appear less disruptive when it so acts. This issue also provides the Trump leadership with an opportunity to create alternative alliance networks to outmaneuver the kind of regional groupings that have existed in the past. Independent of this issue, American foreign policy seeks to substitute a network of likeminded autocratic leaders for such traditional solidarities as NATO or the OAS, or for that matter, the UN. In this connection it is notable that such traditional American allies as Britain, France, Germany, and Japan voted for the UN resolution condemning the U.S. proposed action with respect to Jerusalem, and this reciprocated by acting independently of Washington's strongly declared preferences.
Q2– What would be real symbolism of transfering embassies from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem? Why such maneuvers are being considered so polemical?
A: In my view, the real significance of the embassy move, aside from it being consistent with other steps viewed as displaying the extreme nature of Trump's support for Israel's approach to resolving decades of tension with the Palestinian people and their national movement, is to demonstrate that U.S. foreign policy will not be constrained by multilateral diplomacy or the positions prevailing in international institutions, and especially the UN. This ultra-nationalist approach to policymaking and problem solving is an overt rejection of cooperative approaches to difficult collective challenges in international relations that had previolusly enjoyed Washington's support ever since the end of World War II.
On another level, the embassy move is supportive of Israel's rejection of a political compromise with Palestine, and Tel Aviv's current strategy that seems to hover between allowing the present unresolved future to go on indefinitely, while the settlements expand in Jerusalem and the West Bank, and taking advantage of its present position to achieve, or at least declare, an Israeli victory and Palestinian defeat. In this regard, the status of Jerusalem is part of a broader context of settlement expansion, excessive force in responding to Palestinian resistance, Knesset legislation in which Israel is proclaimed to be a state belonging exclusively to the Jewish people, who alone are entitled to national self-determination, and a denial of refugee status to descendants of Nakba refugees.
These moves are treated as so controversial because they are seen as imposing an ordeal without an end in sight upon the Palestinian people as a whole, including those languishing in refugee camps throughout the Middle East, in exile, and as a discriminated minority in Israel itself. Israel as an apartheid state cannot maintain such structures of racial domination without relying on these oppressive and discriminatory patterns of governance. In this regard Israel has moved in the eyes of the world from being 'the only democracy in the Middle East' to being 'the only apartheid state in the Middle East.' Erasing this perception is part of what is at stake by such efforts to confer legitimacy on its territorial expansionism and its ethnic hegemony.

6/1/2011 Karn's first and third abilities are linked. Similarly, Karn's second and third abilities are linked. Only cards exiled by either of Karn's first two abilities will remain in exile when the game restarts. 6/1/2011 A game that restarts immediately ends. The players in that game then immediately begin a new game. No player wins, loses, or draws the original game as a result of Karn's ability. 6/1/2011 In a multiplayer games (a game that started with three or more players in it), any player that left the game before it was restarted with Karn's ability won't be involved in the new game. 6/1/2011 The player who controlled the ability that restarted the game is the starting player in the new game. The new game starts like a game normally does: -- Each player shuffles his or her deck (except the cards left in exile by Karn's ability). -- Each player's life total becomes 20 (or the starting life total for whatever format you're playing). -- Players draw a hand of seven cards. Players may take mulligans. -- Players may take actions based on cards in their opening hands, such as Chancellors and Leylines. 6/1/2011 After the pre-game procedure is complete, but before the new game's first turn, Karn's ability finishes resolving and the cards left in exile are put onto the battlefield. If this causes any triggered abilities to trigger, those abilities are put onto the stack at the beginning of the first upkeep step. 6/1/2011 Creatures put onto the battlefield due to Karn's ability will have been under their controller's control continuously since the beginning of the first turn. They can attack and their activated abilities with in the cost can be activated. 6/1/2011 Any permanents put onto the battlefield with Karn's ability that entered the battlefield tapped will untap during their controller's first untap step. 6/1/2011 No actions taken in the game that was restarted apply to the new game. For example, if you were dealt damage by Stigma Lasher in the original game, the effect that states you can't gain life doesn't carry over to the new game. 6/1/2011 Players won't have any poison counters or emblems they had in the original game. 6/1/2011 In a Commander game, players put their commanders into the command zone before shuffling their deck. 6/1/2011 The number of times a player has cast his or her commander from the command zone resets to zero. Also, the amount of combat damage dealt to players by each commander is reset to 0. 6/1/2011 If a player's commander was exiled with Karn at the game restarted, that commander won't be put into the command zone at the beginning of the game. It will be put onto the battlefield when Karn's ability finishes resolving. 6/1/2011 In a multiplayer game using the limited range of influence option, all players are affected and will restart the game, not just those within the range of influence of the ability's controller. 7/1/2013 Planeswalkers are permanents. You can cast one at the time you could cast a sorcery. When your planeswalker spell resolves, it enters the battlefield under your control. 7/1/2013 Planeswalkers are not creatures. Spells and abilities that affect creatures won't affect them. 7/1/2013 Planeswalkers have loyalty. A planeswalker enters the battlefield with a number of loyalty counters on it equal to the number printed in its lower right corner. Activating one of its abilities may cause it to gain or lose loyalty counters. Damage dealt to a planeswalker causes that many loyalty counters to be removed from it. If it has no loyalty counters on it, it's put into its owner's graveyard as a state-based action. 7/1/2013 Planeswalkers each have a number of activated abilities called "loyalty abilities." You can activate a loyalty ability of a planeswalker you control only at the time you could cast a sorcery and only if you haven't activated one of that planeswalker's loyalty abilities yet that turn. 7/1/2013 The cost to activate a planeswalker's loyalty ability is represented by a symbol with a number inside. Up-arrows contain positive numbers, such as "+1"; this means "Put one loyalty counter on this planeswalker." Down-arrows contain negative numbers, such as "-7"; this means "Remove seven loyalty counters from this planeswalker." A symbol with a "0" means "Put zero loyalty counters on this planeswalker." 7/1/2013 You can't activate a planeswalker's ability with a negative loyalty cost unless the planeswalker has at least that many loyalty counters on it. 7/1/2013 Planeswalkers can't attack (unless an effect turns the planeswalker into a creature). However, they can be attacked. Each of your attacking creatures can attack your opponent or a planeswalker that player controls. You say which as you declare attackers. 7/1/2013 If your planeswalkers are being attacked, you can block the attackers as normal. 7/1/2013 If a creature that's attacking a planeswalker isn't blocked, it'll deal its combat damage to that planeswalker. Damage dealt to a planeswalker causes that many loyalty counters to be removed from it. 7/1/2013 If a source you control would deal noncombat damage to an opponent, you may have that source deal that damage to a planeswalker that opponent controls instead. For example, although you can't target a planeswalker with Shock, you can target your opponent with Shock, and then as Shock resolves, choose to have Shock deal its 2 damage to one of your opponent's planeswalkers. (You can't split up that damage between different players and/or planeswalkers.) If you have Shock deal its damage to a planeswalker, two loyalty counters are removed from it. 7/1/2013 If a player controls two or more planeswalkers that share a planeswalker type, that player chooses one of them and the rest are put into their owners' graveyards as a state-based action.
