What better time to get organized and start a new planner? I was so taken by the planner featured in the article "Creative Days Ahead" by Dawn DeVries Sokol in the January/February issue of Cloth Paper Scissors magazine that I had to make one for myself. It seemed like the perfect project for Studio Saturdays.
If you haven't caught planner fever, this project will convince you to get on board. Keeping a planner like this isn't just about writing your to-do list; it's about making something unique, using your favorite supplies and techniques, and documenting your creative life.
This Create Along series is in three parts: In Part One we'll create the cover, in Part Two we'll bind the planner, and in Part Three we'll decorate the pages, using fantastic collage, painting, and layering techniques. If you've never made a book before, you've come to the right place. This project uses a repurposed book and a very easy binding stitch, so there's nothing difficult or intimidating. If you're a veteran bookbinder or book artist, you've also come to the right place. We'll do some fun techniques for painting and collaging the cover, and the binding stitch is quick and eye-catching.
Let's get started! Here are the materials you'll need for Part One. Don't freak out about the number of supplies—I urge you to use what you have on hand, and to experiment. This is all about making something that reflects you, so feel free to try something different, do a variation on a technique, or break free altogether. Some supplies, as you'll see below, are optional.
• Book with an intact spine about 2″ wide: A book bound for the recycling center is great for this project, but make sure the book is sturdy, and the spine is not split or coming apart from the covers. The spine width is important—make sure it measures about 2″. The book I used is 6″ wide x 9 1/4″ high.
Quick tip: When choosing the book for your planner, think about where and how you'll use it. If you want to carry it with you, choose a small size. I knew I'd be keeping mine at home, so I went with a fairly big book—I also wanted larger pages to work on.
To remove the text block (the pages) from the spine, pull on one of the covers while holding the text block, and you'll see them start to separate. Put the tip of the craft or utility knife blade in between the cover and the endpaper, and start cutting downward, making sure your hand is out of the way. Also make sure that you're not cutting into the spine or any part of the book. Repeat for the other cover, and reserve the pages for later. Clean up any jagged edges along the inside of the spine with a craft knife, scissors, or sandpaper.
Use a utility or craft knife to cut the text block away from the covers.
The book I'm using was a prop leftover from a photoshoot, and it had been painted red. I left it that way because I already had the color in my palette. You can leave your cover the way it is, or, if you want to cover it completely, brush on one or two coats of white gesso and allow it to dry completely.
Collage some papers on both covers, leaving the spine intact. I used a variety of book text, but use whatever you have that's interesting and has some contrast—this layer will show through, so papers with some kind of pattern is good. I adhered the papers with gel medium; allow this layer to dry.
The first layer of the painted covers starts with collaged ephemera.
Now it's time to really have some fun. Paint a great big mess on the planner covers. Really go nuts and layer colors and shapes and brushstrokes, and make marks in the paint while it's still wet with your fingers or the end of a paintbrush. I started with a palette of blue, teal, and turquoise, and added pops of red for contrast. I mostly used tube acrylics, but fluid works just as well. Use whatever you have on hand. If you're incorporating complementary colors, wait for one layer to dry before going on to the next so you don't get mud. If you've obscured the collage papers, knock back the paint a little in those areas with a baby wipe or paper towel. Let everything dry.
For the underpainting, get messy with brush strokes and colors.
Choose a design and paint over the first layer with a very light color (I used titanium white). You can freehand it or draw it first with a chalk pencil. Choose an open design that allows the underpainting to show through; I painted leaf shapes. If you have mad painting skills, now's the time to turn them out. If you don't, like me, simple shapes are absolutely fantastic, and you can't go wrong. As before, make marks in the wet paint as you go. If you don't like something, a baby wipe will take it right off. Let dry.
Brush on a light color, letting the underpainting show through.
Here are the planner covers after the second layer of paint. I drew some veins in the leaves with a paint pen. Also, you'll see that I didn't go completely up to the spine. That's because we'll be covering it later.
The underpainting shows through the white, creating depth and interest on the planner covers.
For the next layer, choose a stencil with a pattern that complements your design. With a palette knife, mix some acrylic paint with soft gel medium or glazing medium in a 1:1 ratio; I did this because I wanted the paint to be somewhat translucent, but you can just use the paint straight. Dip a cosmetic wedge in the paint, pounce some of it off, and stencil onto the cover, however you want the pattern to appear. Let dry. When my cover was dry, I outlined some of the stencil shapes and created some random dots with a white paint pen, and outlined the leaf shapes with a black permanent pen.
Stencil over parts of the design, using a mixture of paint and medium.
With a palette knife, blend a small amount of burnt umber paint and soft gel medium or glazing medium in a 1:1 ratio. Dip a paper towel into the mixture and lightly swipe it across the covers. I wanted to create a bit of depth and warmth with this layer, so I didn't use a lot. A baby wipe will be your salvation if you apply too much.
A few swipes of burnt umber paint warmed the painted covers of this planner up a bit.
The next step happened because I made a big goof. Big. I thought the planner cover would look cool if I dripped some dark blue acrylic ink on it, but the drips were so large and ugly that I panicked and grabbed a baby wipe to try to take the color off. In the process of wiping it, I created a beautiful blue stain. This became one of those happy accidents that I will now use in a future project. Try this technique if you're feeling up for it, but you can also skip it.
I don't know if you've discovered Stabilo Woody Crayons, but if you haven't, you should check them out. These big fatties are water soluble, and you can draw with them, or hit them with a wet paintbrush or water brush and get beautiful watercolor effects (Spoiler alert: I used them for my planner pages as well.). I used a black crayon with a water brush, painting around the leaf motifs, waiting about 30 seconds, and then rubbing in the color with my fingers. This created a kind of shadow/stain effect that I absolutely love. You can also get this effect with a black Stabilo All pencil, or plain watercolor.
A water-soluble Stabilo Woody Crayon added even more depth and shading.
I wanted to represent the year of this planner, so I stamped 2017 with the Montreal Large Numbers set by Michelle Ward, using permanent ink. Since the cover is textured I didn't get solid impressions, so I filled in the spaces with a black permanent pen. I liked the way the zero looked, so I left that as is. I then added some dots on top of the numbers with the white paint pen, and enhanced some of the dots on the cover so they'd pop a bit more.
For the planner cover, the year was stamped with permanent ink and embellished with a paint pen.
Quick tip: To hasten dry time, use a heat tool. Be careful not to heat the area too much—acrylic paint can start bubbling.
• A piece of bookcloth 1 ½" taller than your cover and 2 ½" wider than the spine. Bookcloth can be found in some art supply stores, and online. You can substitute fabric, but if so, you'll need dry adhesive, such as Grafix Artist-tac Permanent Dry Adhesive.
• Paper for the pages. Determine how you want to use your book, and choose your paper accordingly. I wanted to use wet media, so I chose 98-lb. paper from a Canson XL Mix Media pad. You'll need 35 folded sheets. To determine the size for your planner, measure the pages from the text block. If those aren't available, subtract ¼" from the height of the book, and measure from the flattened spine to the front edges of the cover (called foredges), and subtract ¼". Your pages will be that height x double the width, and then folded in half. Based on my dimensions, my pages are 12″ wide x 9 1/8″ high. You'll need 36 folded sheets.
If you have any questions on the techniques or supplies, please leave them in the comments. See you next Saturday! In the meantime, if you'd like to learn more about this article and other book-related resources, take a look at these great products from the North Light Shop.

Sixers fall short on big comeback attempt
By Pete Marshall | pmarshall@scng.com | Daily Bulletin
PUBLISHED: May 2, 2010 at 12:00 am | UPDATED: August 30, 2017 at 10:26 am
SAN BERNARDINO – The 66ers snapped their losing streak on Friday night, but were in need of a signature victory.
A victory that could spur them on to a successful stretch as they prepare to hit the road.
The Sixers nearly rallied from a six-run deficit Saturday but came up short and Visalia tacked on two late runs for an 8-5 victory over the Sixers in front of 2,364 at Arrowhead Credit Union Park.
The Sixers (9-15) dropped to 3-10 at home this season.
Visalia (14-8), which has defeated the Sixers five times in seven games this season, jumped out to a 6-0 lead with three runs in the second and three more in the third against Sixers starter Geison Aguasviva (1-3).
Trailing 6-0 in the third inning, the Sixers began to chip away at the deficit. Cesar Suarez was hit by a pitch, went to second on a groundout, to third on Clay Calfee's single and scored on Justin Sellers' sacrifice fly.
In the fourth, Kyle Russell tripled high off the wall in the right-field corner, Pedro Baez doubled to left, Steven Caseres singled and Austin Gallagher hit a sacrifice fly to make it 6-3.
Russell led off the sixth by reaching on an infield single. He then stole second, went to third on a throwing error by the catcher and scored on a passed ball to make it 6-4.
Suarez reached base in the seventh on a fielding error by shortstop Brent Greer, went to second on a two-out passed ball and scored on Sellers' double to left and the Sixers were within 6-5.
But with the tying run in scoring position, Nick Buss popped up to end the threat.
The Sixers were able to rally because of outstanding relief work by left-hander Cody White, making his season debut with the Sixers after missing the entire 2009 season recovering from shoulder surgery.
White pitched 4 1/3 innings of shutout relief, retiring the first 12 batters he faced. White allowed one hit, struck out two and walked one.
But after the Rawhide allowed the Sixers to get within a run, they scored insurance runs in the eighth and ninth to make it 8-5.
The Sixers had no rally left, as Billy Spottiswood retired all six batters in the eighth and ninth to earn his first save.
Quakes 8, High Desert 6 (10)
After blowing a ninth-inning lead, the Quakes (12-12) scored two in the 10th to snap a three-game losing streak.
Dillon Baird doubled home the go-ahead run in the 10th and Angel Castillo followed with another double to score an insurance run.
The Quakes were one out away from victory before the Mavericks scored to send it into extra innings at Adelanto.
With two outs and no one on, pinch-hitter Kyle Seager doubled against Eddie McKiernan (2-0) and Nate Tenbrink singled him home to tie the score 6-6.

Robert Williams injury: Boston Celtics big made 'ridiculous' plays in return to practice but will miss upcoming road trip

By Tom Westerholm | twesterh@masslive.com
BOSTON -- Boston Celtics big man Robert Williams hasn't played an NBA game since Dec. 9 after suffering a bone edema in his left hip, but he's finally back out on the court as the team ramps up for its post-All-Star-break road trip to the West Coast.
The biggest problem for Williams? Trying to slow himself down with so much freedom.
"There's no limitations on anything I'm doing," Williams said. "I want to windmill every time I dunk, but I've still got to be cautious a little bit."
The Celtics are being cautious as well. Despite Williams' apparent health, the team is bringing him along slowly, and Brad Stevens said Williams will miss the entire upcoming road trip, which spans four Western Conference cities. According to Stevens, Williams will continue to practice with the Celtics on the trip, and when the team returns, he will undergo a final evaluation. If he clears that hurdle without issue, he will be cleared for a return.
"Rob did a pretty good job today," Stevens said. "He looked like he felt good. He looked like he felt anxious."
Jaylen Brown was impressed with Williams' showing as well.
"He had a lot of high energy and was making ridiculous plays," Brown said. "The important thing is to keep him healthy and keep him consistent these last 20-something games and add him to the rotation. We definitely miss him back out there."
The first stretch of Williams' recovery was almost exclusively rest. He was unable to do anything basketball-related as his hip healed, and when he finally could return to the court, the Celtics took it slow.
Williams said he worked on his patience as a defender during his time off ("knowing when to stay down, when to play my man, when to go for blocks"), but he admitted the wait was difficult.
"You've just got to stay close to the atmosphere," he said. "Stay close to the organization, my teammates, coaches, spend time in here when I have free time, and just keep my mind on it."
Now, as his final days off the court tick down, Williams has an eye on the calendar.
"I'm getting anxious, knowing I'm just a couple days away, but the first game back I think is a home game so that's pretty special for me," he said. "So I'm just staying locked in on this road trip, and we'll all wait for my comeback."

What is a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) ?
The Law On Public-Private Partnerships approved by Parliament Resolution No. 7 on 24 February 2012 defines a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) as a long-term (up to fifty years) interaction between public and private partners for engaging the private partner by the public partner in designing, financing, construction, rehabilitation, reconstruction of assets, as well as the management of existing or newly created assets, including infrastructure assets. In other words, a PPP is: a contract between a public partner (contracting authority) and a private sector entity (usually of medium or long-term duration) awarded through competition where the private partner performs a public function (e.g. provides infrastructure, a service to the public, or both) and is allowed to develop the best way of providing the infrastructure or service (so-called 'output specification') but where it also carries the risk that if it does not perform well its payments will be affected (so-called 'risk allocation').

Make Like Kevin McCallister And Celebrate Christmas At The Plaza
By Kristen Amiet 21 November 2017
Remember that scene in Home Alone 2: Lost In New York, where Kevin McCallister (Macaulay Culkin) – somehow separated from his family for the second Christmas in a row – gorges himself on array of desserts at a fancy hotel, all on his dad's dime?
That fancy hotel was New York's iconic Plaza Hotel and, to celebrate the equally iconic Christmas film's 25th anniversary, it's giving grown-ups the chance to live Kevin's adventure for themselves with a Home Alone-inspired accommodation package.
A post shared by The Plaza Hotel (@theplazahotel) on Nov 17, 2017 at 1:39pm PST
Of course, the package features an impressive in-room menu, including the "over-the-top ice cream sundae", and a veritable smorgasbord of American '90s-inspired dishes, like Lunchables, SpaghettiOs and Hot Pockets at the nearby Todd English Food Hall.
On top of that, guests who book the Live Like Kevin package will be treated to a four-hour limousine tour of New York (though it's BYO cheese pizza) and the chance to create that heart-pumping Central Park scene for themselves (with a photographer on hand, obviously), along with express passes to the Empire State Building and Wollman Rink.

There's no word yet on whether one-time Home Alone cameo-er and current president Donald Trump will revive his part for the festive season.
The Plaza hosts several themed accommodation experiences, including a bubblegum-pink suite dedicated to fictional Disney character, Eloise, and a Gatsby-themed suite inspired by author F. Scott Fitzgerald and his wife, Zelda, who regularly visited the hotel during the Jazz Age.
Or, if you're feeling brave, consider The Gregory's Stranger Things-themed hotel room while you're in town.
The Live Like Kevin package is available from Friday, December 1, 2017, to Monday, October 29, 2018. Rates start at $1185 ($895USD).

Linear correlation is a measure of dependence between two random variables.
Let and be two random variables. The linear correlation coefficient (or Pearson's correlation coefficient) between and , denoted by or by , is defined as follows: where is the covariance between and and and are the standard deviations of and .
The linear correlation coefficient is well-defined only as long as , and exist and are well-defined.
Note that, in principle, the ratio is well-defined only if and are strictly greater than zero. However, it is often assumed that when one of the two standard deviations is zero. This is equivalent to assuming that because when one of the two standard deviations is zero.
The interpretation is similar to the interpretation of covariance: the correlation between and provides a measure of how similar their deviations from the respective means are (see the lecture entitled Covariance for a detailed explanation).
Thanks to this property, correlation allows to easily understand the intensity of the linear dependence between two random variables: the closer correlation is to , the stronger the positive linear dependence between and is (and the closer it is to , the stronger the negative linear dependence between and is).
If then and are said to be positively linearly correlated (or simply positively correlated).
If then and are said to be negatively linearly correlated (or simply negatively correlated).
If then and are said to be linearly correlated (or simply correlated).
If then and are said to be uncorrelated. Also note that , therefore two random variables and are uncorrelated whenever .
The following example shows how to compute the coefficient of linear correlation between two discrete random variables.

The road that you're on, same road that you know / Just not the same as it was a minute ago. Is that true in law?
By Dr Chris Boge
While registered owners of Torrens title land usually do not need to concern themselves with unregistered rights, historical common law roads created over their land can be an instance where they do need to worry.
A road is a fascinating concept. It may be a metaphor for a path we lead in life and we may not always realise when we've changed course. In law, the road as a public thoroughfare is a peculiar idea. Once created, it does not change course and, today, it can generally be closed only in accordance with statute. This is because the road is not simply a physical area of land; it is a public right of way. And, in modern terms, the road mostly is a statutory legal concept.
But, when a landowner has a registered title under a Torrens title Act, does a road created under the common law over the landowner's land come within the reach of the indefeasibility principle so that the landowner enjoys the land free of the public right of way?
According to the Queensland Court of Appeal in Orb Holdings Pty Ltd v WCL (Qld) Albert St Pty Ltd [2020] QCA 198 (11 September 2020), the answer is no. While the decision turns on the particular legislative scheme in Queensland, the position is not dissimilar to that of other Torrens title jurisdictions. And, primarily, this is because of the peculiarity of a road as a legal concept. The road is not simply adaptable as an ordinary "land" idea in law, and especially as one the subject of a registered title affected by a principle of indefeasibility.
Orb Holdings
Beatrice Lane is a narrow parcel of land in Brisbane's CBD. It had, until relatively recently, been used as a public laneway. The land is a freehold lot under the Land Title Act 1994 (Q) (Lot 11) and its registered owner, the respondent (WCL), wished to develop the land in conjunction with adjoining lots.
The appellant (Orb) owned nearby land and used Beatrice Lane for access. It contended that the lane had been dedicated by a former owner as a public road in the 1800s and had been, since the commencement of the Land Act 1962 (Q), vested in the State.
For a period, Lot 11 had been described in plan of subdivision RP1073, which was registered in 1876, as "Lot 11 (Balance)" and was subject to a noting of "Right of Way". However, it was not until 1994 (the commencement of the automated titles system in Queensland) that a certificate of title for Lot 11 was issued, free of any encumbrance, to the lot's former owner.
The dedication of a road by a landowner in Queensland today is wholly regulated by statute. However, prior to 1923 (when section 83C was inserted into the Local Authorities Act 1902 (Q)), it was possible for a landowner to dedicate land as a road (highway) under the common law. Such a dedication was generally effected by an act evincing an intention to dedicate (including, for example, lodgement of a plan containing a road) and public acceptance of the dedication. The parties in Orb Holdings accepted that, if a dedication of Beatrice Lane had occurred, it had taken place before 1923 and, therefore, under the common law. (Orb Holdings was an application for summary judgment by the respondent and the issue of whether a dedication of the lane had, in fact, taken place, and a separate point whether the original owner of the land had the power to dedicate the land as a road, require a trial.)
Section 95 of the Land Act 1994 (Q) says that the land in all roads dedicated and opened for public use under the following Acts vests in, or remains vested in, the State:
the Land Act 1994 (Q), the Land Act 1962 (Q) (which was repealed by the 1994 Act) or an Act repealed by the 1962 Act; or
the Land Title Act 1994 (Q).
Section 454 of the Land Act 1994 (Q) says that all roads dedicated and set apart under the Land Act 1962 (Q) are taken to be dedicated roads under the 1994 Act.
The issue was, then, could a dedication of Beatrice Lane by the former owner of Lot 11 in 1876 mean that the land in the laneway was now vested in the State despite WCL's indefeasible title to Lot 11?
Section 369 of the Land Act 1962 (Q) had relevantly said that "[a]ll land which, having been before, is at the commencement of this Act… dedicated by the owner thereof, not being the Crown, to public use as a road shall, by virtue of such dedication be vested (and in the case of land so dedicated before the commencement of this Act, is hereby declared to have always been vested) in the Crown and may be dealt with in the same manner as roads which have been dedicated to public use by the Crown".
Section 369 seemed quite clear; it could apply to a common law dedication (as lawfully effected before 1923) by a landowner. Even so, what was the effect of any vesting of the land in Beatrice Lane as a road in the Crown in the light of WCL's continuing registered ownership of Lot 11 under the Land Title Act 1994 (Q), a Torrens title Act? WCL argued that its indefeasible title (as provided for by section 184 of that Act) meant that any rights of the public to use Beatrice Lane as a way for passing and repassing and any vesting of the land in the State had necessarily been extinguished.
According to McMurdo JA (with whom Sofronoff P and Boddice J agreed), until the commencement of section 369 of the Land Act 1962 (Q), the fee simple in Lot 11 was, assuming the dedication of Beatrice Lane, vested in the land's former owner subject to public rights of use of the land as a dedicated road. When the land became vested in the State according to section 369, the public rights obviously continued. There was, contrary to the trial judge's finding, no conflict between the State's ownership of the land and the public rights; the purpose of a vesting under section 369 was (only) because of the public rights and the State's power to deal with the land in the road was limited accordingly (and essentially under statute). The public rights were not subsumed by section 369 into a title vested in the State. Importantly, the State's ownership of "land", therefore, differed from the fee simple of a registered owner under a Torrens title Act. In other words, the concept of "land" is different depending on the dedication and the legislative provisions governing it.
However, the State could not, by a vesting under section 369 of the Land Act 1962 (Q) and the delineation of Beatrice Lane as a road on RP1703, acquire a registered title. That remains the case today. (Nor was it relevant that Lot 11 became subject to a further plan in 2012 which showed the lane as "the Reserve".) As such, section 369 overrode the provisions of a Torrens title Act; more particularly, and accepting the dedication, the land in Beatrice Lane is, in effect, outside the system of title by registration. It is not to the point that Beatrice Lane may physically be located within a registered lot. As a public right of way – the "land" of which is vested in the State – it is not part of a parcel of land within such a lot. That may seem quite abstract, but, in that sense, section 369 and, today, section 95 of the Land Act 1994 (Q), are not construed as exceptions to indefeasibility. They deal with a subject matter (land in a road) which, itself, cannot be the subject of an indefeasible title.
And, although section 95 of the Land Act 1994 (Q) refers to land dedicated under an Act, the court construed that to include land that was, for the operation of the Land Act 1962 (Q), a road dedicated and opened for public use. This extended to land dedicated under the common law which was subject to section 369 of the 1962 Act.
While the circumstances of Orb Holdings may seem peculiar, there are numerous roads that were lawfully dedicated by landowners under the common law. The significant point of the decision is that a road is a public way. The vesting or property in a road in the State recognises and protects the public right of use as a way. Although land is often thought of in a physical, spatial sense, particularly when the subject of a surveyed, registered lot under a Torrens title Act, land can, in law, effectively be conceptualised as the right of way itself or, when vested in the State, as a type of "property" intended to recognise and protect that right. A road is not an interest registrable under an Act, but it nevertheless is a legal concept that can sit outside the regulation of registration Acts. That is the effect of the relevant roads legislative scheme in Queensland (and in other jurisdictions).
The legislative scheme recognises the significance of the road (highway), not only in law, but in society generally. Although some roads appear to be more important than others (as evidenced by their classifications), a road is a form of public infrastructure and most land could not be productively used without access to a road. More particularly, cities and towns would be non-existent without roads. However, in law, all roads are the same in the sense of their affording a public right of way (and irrespective of whether the exercise of the right is difficult, inconvenient, or even impossible). It is mostly only in a consequential sense that they constitute land and, then, only so they can be regulated as "land in a road" in law.
Once a highway, always a highway: the common law reaches into the statutory scheme
Although not directly mentioned in Orb Holdings, the roads legislative scheme in Queensland (as in other jurisdictions) is consistent with the status of highways under the common law. In this area, the common law adage is, "once a highway, always a highway". Once a landowner had evinced an intention to dedicate land as a highway and the public had accepted the dedication (by using the right of way or maintaining it), the landowner could not revoke the dedication. As referred to by Justice McMurdo in Orb Holdings (and citing New South Wales authority), but in the context of the legislative scheme, once Beatrice Lane had been unambiguously vested in the State because it had been dedicated as a public road, "not only were the registered owners of… [the] land thereafter incapable of calling back their fee simple, but no act of the Registrar [of Titles] 'could be recognised as effective to trench in any way upon" the State's property. (The lane, as a road, would also remain subject to the control of the Brisbane City Council under the City of Brisbane Act 2010.) As further noted by his Honour, the legislative scheme in Queensland, relevantly, the Land Title Act 1994 and the Land Act 1994 maintain the distinction between the ownership of freehold land under the former Act and "the ownership of roads according to a different and overriding statute", namely, the latter Act.
The legislative scheme will, therefore, generally be paramount when considering the property in "land" in a road. Another recent example of this arose in the Western Australia Court of Appeal decision in City of Fremantle v Imago Holdings Pty Ltd [2020] WASCA 61 where section 286 of the Local Government Act 1960 (WA) provided that "[t]he absolute property in land… dedicated, under [that Act]… as a road, street, or highway, is by … this section revested in the Crown and is removed from the operation of the" Transfer of Land Act 1893 (WA), a Torrens title Act. There, Imago Holdings Pty Ltd was the registered proprietor of lots containing disputed land which the City argued was, in the light of section 286, vested in the Crown. The court agreed with the City, specifically noting that the revesting meant the land in the road, like the position in Orb Holdings, was outside the operation of the Torrens title Act and not subject to the principle of indefeasibility.
However, what is the "land in the road"?
An interesting point which was not raised in Orb Holdings (and may not ultimately be relevant to the parties' respective positions) is the land in the road that is vested in the State. As mentioned, land in a road that is vested is not within a registered lot. Today, when land is dedicated as a road, it simply is (usually being surveyed) not included in a lot, but its physical dimensions will be apparent. When land was dedicated as a highway at common law, the dedication (not being a grant of land) meant that the dedicator's land was subject to the public right of way. The landowner continued to own and enjoy the land subject to the public's right of way which, naturally, was only exercisable on the surface of the land. When legislation has, in some jurisdictions, vested a "common law highway" in the Crown or a highway authority the effect has been said to vest the surface (where the common law right of way is exercisable) and immediate sub-surface (so the highway can be maintained). Following that approach, while the road as a public right of way is incorporeal (it is not a physical thing), its use and particularly, its control by a highway or road authority, can give it a tangible quality. But because the Crown or State is only vested with the land in the road as a public right of way, the "land" would not appear to include strata at any greater depth. That strata, at least, is land which is, and continues to be, enjoyable by a registered owner without regard to the "land" in a road.
A qualification on the road concept: statute decides the content of a road and, therefore, its status as land
The modern road – the mostly statutory concept – sometimes seems to sit at odds with the highway as a common law idea. While the modern road can, like the common law highway, be difficult to extinguish except by a formal closure procedure, it can, on occasions, be difficult to know what it is that actually is being extinguished. The modern statutory road is more aptly thought of as "land for road purposes" and those purposes may be whatever statute decides they are from time to time (eg. to accommodate other infrastructure and uses, various encroachments). So, while Orb has seemingly preserved its access (for now at least), we can separately ask, not what might be extinguished as a "road", but what is it that the law actually otherwise preserves as a "road", particularly when it was dedicated under the common law. It might not be the same as it was a minute ago.
As to roads generally in Queensland, see C Boge, "Public Roads in Queensland: Where Statute and the Common Law Intersect" (2017) 37 Queensland Lawyer 26 (Part 1); 80 (Part 2); 126 (Part 3).

Wiebe Wakker has arrived in Sydney after driving there from Amsterdam in an electric car as part of his Plug Me In campaign which started three years ago.
Wiebe Wakker left Amsterdam on 15 March 2016 in his electric car, the Blue Bandit. His destination? – Sydney, on the other side of the world. The Plug Me In adventure was designed to inspire and educate people of the capability and reliability of electric cars.
Taking almost three years to reach his destination, the BBC reports that "Mr Wakker says he travelled 60,000 miles across 33 countries "without money", relying on offers from volunteers for meals, accommodation and charging points."
On the course of his journey, Wakker spent time with sustainable initiatives, companies and organisations from across the world to highlight the environmental challenges of each country and promote innovative solutions. He produced videos and reports of this encounters, which you can find on his website.


The SPDR Gold Shares ETF (GLD) dropped 45% from its 2011 high to its 2016 low. It has been basing under the 38% retracement level of that range for the last five years.
This extended period of horizontal consolidation has formed a "W"-bottom with resistance situated in the $132.50 to $132 area.
There is a technical expression that goes something like, "the wider the base, the higher the break," or words to that effect. I simply measure the height of the pattern and add it to the breakout level.
In this case, it projects an upside move that targets the $161 area.
An old fashioned dynamic seems to be taking place in the market right now. Gold is being used as a place of refuge. It is certainly not bitcoin.
If the market continues lower and if some panic selling sets in, the yellow metal should continue to move higher. A break above technical resistance could trigger even more buying.
But if the stock market is able to stabilize and volatility dries up, the bullish gold trade will be abandoned before it starts.


My wife and I went to see the Picasso exhibition of portraits at the National Portrait Gallery last Saturday. Until I went to the exhibition, I hadn't been aware of the enormous range of portraits, in varying styles, Picasso had painted, and most were not included in the exhibition. I have to confess that I liked best Picasso's paintings in the traditional style. In these paintings, one can really see Picasso's artistic skill.
One other aspect of these paintings that impressed me was that the character of the subject was clearly identified in the picture. It was this aspect that reminded me of the writer's task in establishing an identity in his characters. Picasso was less interested in presenting a clear likeness of his subject than in suggesting to the viewer the personality of the subject.
These are two portraits of Olga Khokhlova, Picasso's first wife and a Ukrainian ballerina whom Picasso married in 1918. The painting on the right was done early in the relationship. In it one can see an elegant, beautifully dressed woman whom Picasso admired greatly. Olga was, in fact an aristocrat who enjoyed a full social life. Picasso grew tired of the meaningless social life and returned to his private, bohemian lifestyle, eventually beginning an affair with the 17 year-old Parisian girl, Marie-Thérèse Walter. The two stayed married until Olga's death in 1955 because Picasso refused to grant a divorce which would have given her half his assets. The portrait on the left is of Olga painted during the period of estrangement. Her head appears to be precariously attached to her body signifying, perhaps, lack of substance. Her hair is orderly and disorderly. The stylish purple hat looks rather silly. The black eyes look out toward Picasso critically. The mouth is small and a bit sad. In these two portraits one can see both a changed relationship and two different views of the same person.
Kahnweiler was a German-born art historian, art collector, and one of the premier French art dealers of the 20th century. He became prominent as an art gallery owner in Paris beginning in 1907 and he was among the first champions of cubism and Picasso. Picasso wrote of Kahnweiler "What would have become of us if Kahnweiler hadn't had a business sense?" The figure in the painting is imposing, the head powerful, the hands relaxed but commanding. There is light that seems to emanate from the head and the hands. One has the impression of a dynamic, creative and important person. When one looks at the painting itself, which must be about a meter and a half tall, one can't help but be impressed by the intricacy of the brushwork and the hours that Picasso worked on this portrait. It is certainly a fitting tribute to a very important influence in Picasso's life.
Jacqueline Roque was Picasso's second wife whom he married in 1961, and she outlived him. She was his favorite female subject; in 1963 he painted her portrait 160 times, and continued to paint her, in increasingly abstracted forms, until 1972. In looking at the portrait, one has a sense of a strong relationship between the subject and the painter. She is dressed in black but does not seem to be in mourning; in fact her forthright stare and raised eyebrows suggest a positive outlook. She appears to be about to disclose something important. The figure expresses confidence and femininity.
This is a self-portrait of Picasso in a posture similar to a Rembrandt self-portrait; Picasso greatly admired Rembrandt. This was painted in the last year of Picasso's life, and suggests a powerful figure looking out on the world. There is little motion in the picture, except for what appears to be heat on the right which dissipates toward the left. His right hand is clearly shown; the left hand is somehow disabled. His exposed upper torso conveys a sense of vitality in spite if the stasis. The face seems prepared to make an announcement. Overall, one has the impression of a painter who knows what he wants to paint and why and who cares very little for the reaction of his audience.
Picasso was highly skilled in communicating a message along with the image in his paintings, and this is particularly evident in his portraits. Artists and writers share a challenge: defining a character to the viewer/reader.

A Night at the Restaurant
by Alysse Robin
The restaurant opened for the evening shift at 4pm on Friday. The sun was getting lower, creating a rosy glow in the dining room, and the glasses hanging over the bar reflected the golden hue that signified the last hours of daylight. The air was light with an aroma that evoked both a familiar comfort and an exciting newness.
Three men were sitting on tall black stools at the bar drinking some local beers from the tap and eating grass-fed beef burgers and spicy free-range wings. They were in work clothes, one with a baseball cap. Talking about the studio they were building in Kerhonkson, Ryan said, "I think by Tuesday we'll be laying the radiant." The other two shook their heads and almost simultaneously lifted their beer off the mahogany bar, each taking a large, satisfying gulp. Their beers clunked down on the bar. "This is as good as it gets," Ryan said with a chuckle. He held up his honey-colored lager and took another strong swallow. He was feeling grateful for his friends, his job, his community…and mostly for his beer.
An elderly couple was sitting at a table for three near a long window. The sunset created dramatic shadows in the lines of their faces. All of the long windows in the restaurant hung with straight thin white curtains, filtering the harsh sunlight into a softened hue. "I'm so glad she's coming," said Anita looking out the window. She squeezed the red cloth napkin on her lap. "It was always the four of us," she said with glassy eyes.
Frank reached across the table and gently rubbed her forearm. "There she is now, dear," he said. They both stood up and exchanged long hugs with Grace. "We're so glad to be spending time with you, darling," Anita said. "It's been too long."
Frank slid the high-backed chair out for Grace. She sat and sighed with relief and said, "Being here with you two makes me feel kind of normal again." Seeing the waitress walk toward them, she smiled, "I'm ready for wine!"
Frank and Anita laughed, "Glad to hear it, we've already ordered our usual!"
Just then the waitress came with three wine glasses and a bottle of local Pinot Noir. She filled each of their long-stem glasses halfway with the burgundy-colored wine. The bus boy placed a basket of fresh bread with herbed olive oil and bean dip on the table. The three friends instinctively looked each other in the eyes and cheered, "To life!" They lifted, sniffed, swirled and sipped the robust wine. Ahhh, the full-bodied flavor flooded them with rich memories.
The waitress walked back into the kitchen. She put two new tickets in the window for the chef and picked up the plated appetizers for table 8. It was one of her favorite customers—a young couple with two young children. The kids were adorable, always so well behaved, and quite predictable. They always ordered the brick oven pizza and lobster bisque for an appetizer. The girl had hot chocolate with whipped cream, and the boy had a cream soda. When she brought it over, they moved their crayons and paper and made room for the small plates. Their parents flirted with each other across the thick wooden table, taking turns answering their son's questions about his concept that another universe may exist within the confines of one small atom. The ambient room was becoming just perfectly dim with the setting sun. The girl was too busy sipping down the lobster bisque to chime into the conversation. "Look at this chunk of lobster!" she exclaimed to her family, holding up her spoon with a large part of the lobster claw sitting in the creamy, pink broth.
Her brother stared at the lobster and declared, "My turn!"
She reluctantly allowed her mother to switch the bowl from in front of her to her brother. "Leave the last bit for me…please," she said with big pouty, blinky eyes. She knew that even her brother couldn't resist that look. He smiled, "OK."
The elderly couple looked at the family, remembering their own days with young children—thinking about how time passes.
Two women in their mid-thirties walked in with the spring wind in their hair. "There will be four of us," Gina said.
"Right this way," the hostess smiled. They walked past the bar to a corner table for four. Sitting down, Gina said, "I'll start with a Tuthilltown martini when you are ready."
"Waste no time, huh?!" laughed Dawn. "Well, then, I'll have the strawberry daiquiri."
"Well, it's not too often that I get a chance to have a night off with my girlfriends!" Gina exclaimed.
Back in the kitchen the chef was sautéing onion and garlic. Fresh bread was baking in the oven, and the young sous-chef was chopping fresh vegetables. It was very quiet; the shiny metal countertops and appliances reflected the low, bright lights. The sous-chef called, "Order in! We need two local duck entrees." The chef's pans were piping hot; he began to sear some local asparagus with the sautéed garlic. Then, like magic, a rich sauce emerged as a reduction of Hudson Valley vodka filled the air with the scent of spices and heat. The sous-chef and chef worked together to plate the dish at the waitress station, adding spring herbs and greens with a local strawberry vinaigrette to adorn the plate.
At the table closest to the bar sat a young couple. They were leaning toward each other and smiling. She was eating a plate of local baby arugula with Parmesan shavings, while he enjoyed some of the soft, warm bread with herbed olive oil.
"Mmm. Want some?" she offered.
"You sure?" he said, "Cause I'd love a bite."
"I wouldn't offer if I wasn't sure," she replied with a smart glance.
He forked himself some of her salad, purposefully picking from where she had just eaten.
"Delish," he said with his cheek full and a close-mouthed smile.
"Do you grow a garden?" she inquired.
"I have a small bed in my backyard with some tomatoes and herbs," he said.
"My garden is my solace," she replied softly. "Growing food is so fulfilling," she said.
"…and filling," he quickly followed up.
She smiled, "This baby arugula reminds me of eating it right off the plant."
"Yeah, everything here is exquisite," he agreed, staring at her with a slight blush.
The four girlfriends were now together, enjoying their drinks. The waitress came by with a tray of entrees. She placed down the salmon with asparagus, the seitan with capers and a side of brown rice and broccoli, the free-range local chicken with a side of arugula, carrots and beets, and New York strip steak with gravy and garlic mashed potatoes. Right behind her was the bartender with a fresh round of cocktails for the women. "We've got to do this more. A night away from the mess," Kate said. "A night off cooking," Dawn added. "Off cleaning dishes," Amy chimed. "A night with good friends," Gina said. As she lifted her glass they all cheered.
The three men called to the bartender, as they headed out, "Thanks, Bridget, and goodnight!" Now the night was dark with cool breezes.
"Take it easy, guys. Come back soon!" she replied.
The hostess came by the tables with an ornate silver pitcher of water, ice and lemons. "It's so great to see you all here. Hope you are enjoying yourself."
"Being here is a breath of fresh spring air, thank you," said Grace, smiling at her friends.
As the family waved goodbye, walking out the door, a cool breeze entered the dining room. The hostess went to each table to light the candles. The atmosphere shifted. She went into the kitchen. She and the waitress spent a few minutes talking as the crowd slowly settled. They exchanged memories of Grace's husband, who was always very generous and loving. They laughed at the stories they heard from the little boy. They whispered about what a great fit the new couple seemed to be. They took the time to appreciate the magic and special moments they witnessed.
In restaurants we take time to talk eye-to-eye. We share a moment out of our busy lives to satisfy all of our sensory desires with the smells from the kitchen, the flavors of the courses, the textures of the foods, the echoes of laughter and conversation, and the beautiful atmosphere—a feast for the senses! We also connect with friends in an intimate way. Each patron of that restaurant on that fine spring evening shared something wonderful in common—they all left feeling contented, full and fortunate.
Have a night to remember at one of our amazing Hudson Valley restaurants soon!

Microsoft has been investing in security firms in Israel
January 26, 2017 Category: Breaking News
U.S. software firm Microsoft will continue to invest over $1 billion annually on cyber security research and development in the coming years, a senior executive said.
This amount does not include acquisitions Microsoft may make in the sector, Bharat Shah, Microsoft vice president of security, told Reuters on the sidelines of the firm's BlueHat cyber security conference in Tel Aviv.
"As more and more people use cloud, that spending has to go up," Shah said.
While the number of attempted cyber attacks was 20,000 a week two or three years ago, that figure had now risen to 600,000-700,000, according to Microsoft data.
Long known for its Windows software, Microsoft has shifted focus to the cloud where it is dueling with larger rival Amazon to control the still fledgling market.
In October it said quarterly sales from its flagship cloud product Azure, which businesses can use to host their websites, apps or data, rose 116 percent.
In addition to its internal security investments, Microsoft has bought three security firms, all in Israel, in a little over two years: enterprise security startup Aorato, cloud security firm Adallom, and Secure Islands, whose data and file protection technology has been integrated into cloud service Azure Information Protection.
Financial details of these deals were not disclosed.
"If you are talking about an ecosystem with more than 400 start-ups it's not really a coincidence. Israel is huge in security," said Secure Islands founder Yuval Eldar.
Microsoft's venture arm has also made three cyber security investments in Israel, including this week an undisclosed amount in Illusive Networks, which uses deception technology to detect attacks and has been installed at banks and retailers.
Earlier this month Microsoft said it invested in Israel's Team8, which created Illusive Networks.
Though Microsoft does not have any near-term plans to implement deception technology, "we look at lots of different technologies that might be of use in the future," Shah said.
Shah believes that in the next year or so progress should be made in moving towards broader implementation of user authentication without need for a password.
Microsoft's Windows 10 operating system includes Windows Hello, which allows users to scan their face, iris or fingerprints to verify their identity and sign in.
