Etsy's Shop Updates have been around since the end of 2015. How have they worked for you?
It seems that a lot of sellers don't take full advantage of this great tool. Do many still lack mobile devices? Or is it because sellers don't see the point?
Why should we do shop updates?
Shop updates in my mind take the place of treasuries. (Admittedly, they are not as much fun.) Shop updates appear on the front page, increasing the exposure of our shop. We can upload photos of our items and other associated pictures and market our shop. It's a golden opportunity to show our creativity, and make a connection with the followers of our shop.
1. On our Home Page.
2. Next to our About Page.
Between our reviews and About Page.
They represent our shop, our brand. Shop Updates can build trust as to the authenticity or our shop, our love for vintage, our seriousness as a vintage seller.
We all have the opportunity to tell our shop's story on a day-by-day basis. Isn't that better than just once? At the same time, we can share our Shop Updates on some social media channels. It is a mini-blog, a form of shop promotion.
2. Favorited an item from the shop.
3. Bought something from the shop.
If you're at all active browsing on Etsy, you will have updates coming through your feed. If you don't like a particular shop's updates, just shut them off (three little dots in one corner).
In my shop, I notice that featured items have a higher rate of selling. Other sellers feel the same. Perhaps our shops get a little bump up when we post. Or perhaps it is just the extra exposure our item receives.
You must have a mobile device that runs on iOS or Android. The alternative is to load an Android emulator on your PC (something like BlueStacks).
1. Open "Sell on Etsy" app on your smartphone or tablet.
2. Select "Shop Updates" in the menu (top left corner).
3. Push the blue bar that appears across the bottom.
5. Pinch and zoom. You can tweak your photo. (You will want to do any major editing before this step.) Select "next" in the top right corner.
6. Tap the photo is the spot where you would like the orange Etsy tag to show.
8. Adjust the tag placement if necessary.
9. Type a sentence or two that addresses "What is happening in this photo?" Be brief and upbeat.
10. Push the blue bar, "Share on Etsy" which publishes it.
11. A screen gives you the option to share your post on social media pages (Facebook, email, SMS and "Copy").
It's all done. Wasn't that quick and easy?
Shop Updates show up on your feed from shops you have favorited or bought from. They are also part of our shop's front page. Shop Updates are positioned between your reviews and About Page.
On your feed, you can hide certain updates, or all updates from a certain shop. (I do that if a shop just posts the same pic of their item that is on the listing or I don't like their stuff, or if they just post too many updates in a row.) Look for three dots on the bottom right corner of the update you want to hide.
Etsy is a venue designed for creative enterprises. It can seem daunting to come up with ideas for vintage shops. See dozens of ideas for vintage sellers here.
Some shop owners object to seeing their own updates in their feed. However, Etsy is letting us see how our updates fit into the rhythm of the feed. How often does your Shop Update feed refresh? I've read that once every 2-3 days is a goal to try. I actually aim for once per day, but sometimes miss.
Shop Overview Dashboard. Look for patterns.
It may seem like common sense, but I recommend placing your Etsy tag as close to the item as possible or even on it. We wouldn't want our featured item to be removed from the photo during any cropping.
Using hashtags in our shop updates may improve our post if we plan to publish it across certain social media channels.
Sometimes it is necessary to edit or delete a shop update after posting it. To do that, open the Sell on Etsy app. Select the post. Your options appear when you tap the three dots in the top right corner display: delete, edit caption, move tag or share.
1. In the right-hand column (traffic from within Etsy).
2. Shop overview dashboard. Hold your cursor over days/months(/even hours). Below the chart it will tell you how many shop updates within that period.
Here is more information from Etsy about Shop Updates.
(Please note that the illustrations show Etsy's "old" stats."
Now that we have examined our shop stats in detail, what are they telling us?
Here are eight points for starters.
1. Lots of views? If a particular keyword or key phrase is bringing you a lot of views, make sure it is being used in all applicable tags and titles.
2. No views? If some keywords never appear in your shop stats (or are at the very bottom), these tags aren't bringing you views. Replace them with other words or phrases.
4. Is your social media traffic so high that it brings in more traffic than Etsy itself? (Check the top of the left-hand column for overall traffic.). That can mean that you are ready for your own standalone website!
5. Often I can tell what will sell soon because of increased views and favorites. Can you source (or make) more of the items?
6. Is a site you don't recognize driving traffic to your shop? Google it. Consider sending a thank-you message. Offer to send them your newsletter. If it is a blog, find out who the audience is. Are you marketing to that audience?
7. "Search" should be in one the top three spots in Etsy traffic sources. If not, you need to optimize your shop for Etsy search.
8. An item sells well. What key words are bringing in your buyers? What are your primary traffic sources for the item? Could you use this information to improve other listings? Could this data help you better market other items in your shop?
DISCLAIMER: I am not a statistical expert by any means. I am sure that there are probably a few errors in this tutorial. Please keep this in mind when following the indicated steps.
Here is a secret about your Etsy stats. Many sellers don't realize that Etsy also provides stats for each individual item. This can be valuable information. I'll give you all of the tools to unlock them!
To access your individual item stats, open an item. There is a "Bars" button right above the picture. Select "today" (or the day you are interested in) for the time. Select the "Views" tab. You can also see search terms used to find this item during the date range you selected.
How did the buyer find our item?
This feature is especially handy if you sell an item and wish to know how your buyer found the item. Check your individual stats for that item on the day that it sold. How many sets of keywords are there? Was there one keyword (or key phrase) used on the hour that the item sold? Then you know definitively.
Individual stats can also help monitor clicking team games. This only works if you don't have too much clicking data to muddy the waters (i.e. promote an item in only one place).
Open the item stats for the item in question for the day in question... See the graph? It tells you how many times and even what hour of the day that it was clicked. This gives you a good idea if people are clicking when they should.
If I sold this item at 7 PM, what search words did my buyer likely use?
See how to use your individual item stats to improve poor performing listings.
Individual listing stats can be our "secret weapon" to learn details about how buyers find our listings. Don't neglect this powerful tool!
Do you open your Etsy stats page every day? I do. Particularly revenue: how much have I sold this week? How does it compare to last week? Last month?
However, stats can be much, much more.
Etsy was not created to be just a sterile place to buy and sell. It was designed to be a vibrant marketplace to discover things that you didn't even know you needed or wanted until you saw them. Etsy is a form of social media in that respect; social media where everything is for sale.
Etsy Shop Stats provide insight into exactly how shoppers find our items: the keywords shoppers search with, the sites that link to our items, internal links… the many pathways to discovery, and hopefully purchases, in our shops.
Stats are a powerful tool from Etsy if we harness their power. We do that by reading what our stats say and understanding their message. Savvy sellers use the information to make improvements to their shops, their listings, and even their social media.
This series of blogs will help you unlock the power of Etsy stats for your shop.
1. Go to the top right corner of any Etsy page: Your Shop > Quick Links > Stats.
2. Use the setting "Last 30 Days" for a broad view or even "Last 12 months" (if your shop is new).
This is the chart toward the top of the page. It shows data and graphs for views, favorites, orders, and revenue. There is a field just above the chart to set the date range.
Hold your mouse over the graph for different days (or months or hours). Find a time period with particularly high numbers. Then look at the area below the chart. It shows if items were listed, renewed or you released a shop update. This is a taste of the power of statistics: to determine if what we are doing with our shop actually shows results.
Hold your mouse over a time period to see what events happened.
Below this dashboard chart are two traffic columns: "overall" and "within Etsy." We will discuss these next.
Stats have been available on Etsy since early in 2012. How have they helped you manage your shop?
More information on shop stats from Etsy is here.
Etsy shop updates are like a mini-blog. They are an opportunity to market your items to potential buyers. The more updates you post, the more often you appear on the front-page feeds of those who like your shop. Also, you can share your updates to social media channels. They link back to your item, making it easy for shoppers to make a purchase from your shop.
Etsy wants you to use images that aren't the same as our five listing images… What a great opportunity to showcase your brand. And exercise your creative side!
What is your inspiration? A barn shop? Grandma's place? Your own collection? Show it.
Post a pic of your vehicle full of new finds. Or as you unload them. Or as you clean them.
Post a shot of an auction, sale or home where you pick your items.
Show off new (or old) finds in an interesting group of color(s) or style(s).
Showcase your photo booth or where you stage your items for photos. Did something unusual ever happen?
Photograph your items stored in an interesting way. Try a wide angle.
Demonstrate ideas for styling and/or using your items.
Showcase your items for sale in or on other venues, like your shop or at a show.
Simplest approach: "just listed is this great..."
Take more item shots than you think you will need for listings. Use the extras for shop updates.
Is your home decorated with items in the style that you sell? Can you artfully stage an item in your home and post that?
Show an aspect of your life that might be interesting to others and relate to your vintage shop.
Make artisticstill-life compositions of items for sale. Photograph and post them. Recombine items for sale.
Showcase your item in use.
Seasonal inspiration of items – fall scene with fall colored item, snow scene with a winter piece.
Re-photograph shop items with a different background, on a rainy day, or in a different season.
Show off your customer's photos of the item.
Item needed: place an Etsy tag on the spot where your item could be.
For a vintage souvenir, feature a photo of the place it came from.
Showcase your partner, kids and/or pets with your items.
Color match your items to something seasonal, especially seasonal Pantone colors. Or color match your items to each other.
Post a picture of an item gift wrapped or ready for shipping.
Show any extras you send.
Offer those who have favorited your shop a "Thank You"coupon code. See how many use it.
Celebrate a certain number of sales, items in your shop or feedbacks with a coupon code.
Post a screen shot of your latest 5-star review.
Post a link to your latest blog post or other SM activity.
Post a screen shot of a newly stocked shop section.
Treasury-style update. I even repeated my photo!
Highlight a picture of your item in a magazine, blog, movie or television presentation.
Post a screen shot of your items on a Pinterest board, Facebook or Instagram post.
Post a photo collage of related items in your shop.
Use some special effects on a nice secondary listing photo. This works well for simple retro items.
Tie an interesting photo with an item you have for sale.
If you are hankering for treasuries, make your own. Use a grid on Canva to feature your items all together.
Showcase a gorgeous close-up detail of a piece.
Post a map (vintage, weather, etc.) with your location tagged.
How do you do a shop update? That's the subject of another post.

A benefit fraud totalling almost £20,000 has been uncovered by City of York Council's fraud experts Veritau, and York resident Muriel Hunter has been given a 12-month community order for 40 hours unpaid work and a compensation order of £500 by York Magistrates Court.
Muriel Hunter (aged 67) of Jute Road, York, claimed Housing and Council Tax Benefit, based on a low income since August 2007. An anonymous referral was received on the council's Fraud hotline from a member of the public suggesting that Muriel Hunter had been working for years and neither this nor her earnings had been declared to the council. An investigation was conducted by Veritau, which investigate fraud on behalf of City of York Council.
The investigation discovered that Muriel Hunter had in fact been working for a number of years and had failed to declare this for benefit purposes. As a result, Muriel Hunter was overpaid £15,674.87 in Housing Benefit and £4,262.83 in Council Tax benefit by City of York Council, a total of £19,937.70.
On Thursday 17 April, Muriel Hunter pleaded guilty to all charges at York Magistrates Court and received a 12 month community order for 40 hours unpaid work and a compensation order of £500. Arrangements are also in place for Ms Hunter to repay the overpayment.
Councillor Tracey Simpson-Laing, Cabinet Member for Housing and Safer Communities, said: "Criminal actions such as this lead to inaccurate perceptions about those who genuinely need to claim benefits due to ill health or when employment circumstances change.

Endangered elephants forage for food in a dump, raising concerns about their well-being.
By Toby Murphy on January 15, 2022 News
Endangered elephants scavenge for food in dumps, raising concerns about their safety.
ENDANGERED elephants forage for food at a dump, raising concerns about their well-being.
Two people died last weekend after ingesting plastic from an open landfill site in Pallakkadu, Sri Lanka's eastern province.
According to local experts, this brings the total number of deaths in the last eight years to around 20.
Local scientists discovered a lot of plastic in their stomachs.
"Polythene, food wrappers, plastic, other non-digestibles, and water were the only things we could see in the postmortem," wildlife veterinarian Nihal Pushpakumara said.
"There was no evidence of elephants eating and digesting normal food."
Elephant numbers in the country have decreased from around 14,000 in the nineteenth century to 6,000 in 2011.

Lithium-ion Capacitor is emerging as a promising strategy that integrated high energy of Lithium-ion batteries with high power of supercapacitors. However, conventional activated carbon presents great challenges as supercapacitive electrodes. In this work, porous nano-carbon onion rings (NCOR) with N-doping were synthesized via the pyrolysis of nanoarchitecture precursor, which yielded a surface area of 1769.76 m2 g − 1. The NCOR electrode showed a capacity of 68.78 mAh g − 1 with a stable capacity retention of 83.12% after 1000 cycles in a voltage window of 2.5–4.2 V vs. Li/Li+. The impedance tests measured at different potentials shed some light on the mechanism of charge storage. We demonstrated the promise of NCOR for energy storage in Lithium-ion capacitors.

Ramiz Raja, the legendary Pakistani commentator and former cricket icon have announced that he is entering the film industry.
Being passionate about cricketing, Ramiz Raja has spent most of his life around this sport. So it comes as no surprise that his movie is also going to be about cricket.
Speaking to the press, Mr. Raja revealed that his film will show a story where cricket will have some kind connection in exterminating terrorism. How that will be done, is a story for another time.
He further revealed that he has already convinced Bollywood icons to join him as actors. Speaking to the press, he told that Sanjay Dutt is already onboard the project. Now Raja is eyeing a female lead for the movie.
He hopes that he will be able to rope in names like Katrina Kaif or Mahira Khan as the leading lady in the film.
For now, we will have to wait and see how things turn out. The next move from Raja is to complete the cast for the film which he will announce at a later date.
Ramiz Raja has confirmed that his debut movie will have tons of action and suspense. He hopes that it will successfully engage the audience of both Pakistan and India.

BREAKING: President Joe Biden Phones Skverer Rebbe in Advance of Election, Pledges 'Open Door'
By Yitzy Fried
This afternoon, word broke of a historic call in which the President of the United States called the Skverer Rebbe to ask for the support of his chassidim in the upcoming election, especially with regard to Representative Sean Patrick Maloney (D-NY).
Reportedly, the President went on to add at the conclusion of the call, "You will have an open door to my administration," as he made it a point to mention that he works closely with the present elected officials and that they have an open door to his office should there be anything they need.
The phone call lasted about fifteen minutes.
Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney is fighting for his re-election against Assemblyman Mike Lawler, his Republican opponent, who has made strong inroads in the Orthodox Jewish community in Rockland County and beyond.
Maloney, the chair of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, is running for re-election, but in a new district after the 2020 census caused new district maps to be drawn in New York.
The race has been rated as a toss-up by reknown political commentator Dave Wasserman, although Biden carried the district over Trump by 10% in the 2020 election.

Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, stat 'C:\Users\kullanıcı\Desktop\Node Js\24-Nasa-Project\server\public\index.html'

This is server.js

A: If you're getting the error:

Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, stat 'C:\Users\kullanıcı\Desktop\Node Js\24-Nasa-Project\server\public\index.html'

That means you don't have a file at the path:

C:\Users\kullanıcı\Desktop\Node Js\24-Nasa-Project\server\public\index.html

Just looking at that path, I notice: Users\kullanıcı\Desktop ... that looks like a path from your computer.  But you're saying this is on your server ... does your server actually have that folder?
What could be going on is you could have hard-coded that path somewhere in your code during development, and then when you try to use it on your server, it fails because your server doesn't have that path.   It doesn't seem possible from the code you provided, but could there be any other code you didn't share?
Alternatively, I noticed you had:
res.sendFile(path.join(__dirname, '..', 'public', 'index.html'))

Why the '..'?  It seems your server.js is in your server project root folder, so .. would mean one folder above that .. but the public folder is in the same directory as server.js.

A: I found the solution I made mistake while writing client package.json it was like this
I have Change it to the this

There is a space after server/public if ı do like first picture I need to write public joint to && symbol

During the early 1990's, the owners of 21 tracts of freehold mineral interests in Alberta initiated law suits alleging, amongst other things, that they had been denied their rightful share of royalties on gas produced, or deemed to be produced, from their lands, and that their energy company-lessees had paid these royalties to the Canadian Pacific Railway Company (the CPR) or its successor PanCanadian Petroleum Limited ("PanCanadian" now "EnCana Corporation"). In the spring of 1997, legal counsel representing the freehold owner-plaintiffs applied to the Chief Justice of the Court of Queen's Bench of Alberta for an order that 6 of the 21 actions be tried concurrently as test cases. The test cases had been selected so that all of the principal legal issues in dispute could be adjudicated in the specific factual circumstances of the individual cases. This application was opposed by counsel to the defendant oil companies who sought a trial on a number of preliminary issues of law. The Chief Justice ordered that a trial be held on the preliminary issues of the ownership of hydrocarbons produced from a well on split title lands and the duty of an energy company-lessee to account for this production.
Although the Court of Queen's Bench of Alberta has an inherent right to control its own process, trials of preliminary issues are usually only granted when a determination of the particular issue will dispose of the underlying legal action or actions. The ownership of hydrocarbons produced from a well on split title lands was a common issue in 16 of the 21 legal actions, but its final determination would not dispose of these actions.
The Ownership Trial was held for 6½ days in December of 1997.
At trial, it was common ground that the 1953 decision of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council in Borys v. CPR and Imperial Oil Limited1 was applicable and binding authority. Counsel for the freehold owner-plaintiffs asserted that Borys was authority for the ownership of hydrocarbons produced from a well on split title lands to be determined based on the phase state of the hydrocarbons as they emerge from the reservoir at the bottom of a well from time to time. Each of the 17 lawyers who represented the PanCanadian and the other involved oil companies asserted that Borys was authority for ownership to be determined based on the phase state of the hydrocarbons as they existed in the reservoir prior to human disturbance.
The trial judge's reasons for judgment in the Ownership Trial were released in July of 19982. Her Ladyship ruled that ownership was to be determined based on the phase state of the hydrocarbons as they existed in the reservoir prior to human disturbance. As a result, individual freehold owners of all mines and minerals except coal and petroleum own any hydrocarbons produced from a well on their split title lands that were in gaseous phase in a pool prior to human disturbance, including gas cap gas and the condensate and natural gas liquids contained therein, and the CPR's successor corporation (now EnCana) owns any hydrocarbons produced from a well on split title lands that were in liquid phase in a pool prior to human disturbance, including any gas that evolves from petroleum in the reservoir as the result of production-induced reservoir pressure decline (referred to by the trial judge as 'evolved gas').
The trial judge's decision turned "largely on an analysis and interpretation of Borys"3.
The trial judge provided no justification for her classification of the Privy Council summary as obiter, other than for her disparaging comments regarding the inaccuracy, inconsistency and ill-considered nature of their Lordship's summary. In FHOA's view, the fact that a trial judge does not agree with the comments of a higher court, does not make these comments obiter.
If the Privy Council decision in Borys is applicable and binding authority for how ownership is to be determined on split title lands, as the trial judge acknowledged, then how can the Privy Council's summary of the lower court decision on ownership that it found to be right in all respects possibly be construed as an incidental remark not directed to the question before the Privy Council? Surely the summary forms a necessary and integral part of the Privy Council's train of reasoning directed to the question it decided.
While it may not have been improper for her Ladyship to express her view that the Privy Council's summary of the Appellate Division's decision was inaccurate, ill-considered and wrong, in FHOA's view, the trial judge exceeded her authority in ignoring this summary and effectively substituting her own interpretation of the Appellate Division decision for that of the highest court of appeal in the Commonwealth.
And does the Privy Council summary of the Appellate Division decision fly in the face of the Appellate Division decision?
"The trial Judge found that petroleum and natural gas were, by common usage, two different substances, and that conclusion ought not to be disturbed. I am, however, with respect, unable to agree with him that the reservation "petroleum" did not include gas in solution in the liquid as it exists in the earth. What was reserved to the railway company was petroleum in the earth and not a substance when it reached the surface. It is true that by change of pressure and temperature, gas is released from solution when the liquid is brought to the surface but such a change ought not to affect the original ownership.
In my opinion, all the petroleum reserved, including all hydrocarbons in solution or contained in the liquid in the ground, is the property of the defendants who are entitled to do as they like with it, subject, of course, to the observance of all relevant provisions and regulations.
The freehold owner-plaintiffs argued that Parlee J.A.'s statements stand for the proposition that petroleum includes gas in solution as it exists in the earth from time to time and that if the Appellate Division had intended petroleum to include gas in solution in the liquid as it existed in the earth prior to human disturbance (defined by the trial judge as 'solution gas'), Parlee J.A. would have used the past tense of the verb 'exist', or he would have qualified the petroleum he was referring to as being at 'initial reservoir conditions'.
The trial judge is incorrect - the CPR reservation occurred prior to human disturbance, but it did not reflect initial reservoir conditions. The transfer form which gave rise to Mr. Borys' mineral interests was drafted by the CPR. In this transfer form, the CPR could have reserved for itself all of the petroleum which existed beneath Mr. Borys land prior to human disturbance, or all of the petroleum under initial reservoir conditions, or simply all petroleum. The CPR did not. The CPR reserved unto itself all petroleum "which may be found to exist" within, upon or under Mr. Borys' lands15. Furthermore, the Appellate Division did not rule that 'all petroleum' is the property of the CPR. The Appellate Division clearly stated that "all the petroleum reserved, including all hydrocarbons in solution or contained in the liquid in the ground, is the property of the defendants". The only petroleum that the CPR had reserved was the petroleum 'which may be found to exist' beneath Mr. Borys' lands.
The "which may be found to exist" wording in the Borys transfer is identical to the wording in the 16 transfer agreements that gave rise to the split title lands in issue in the Ownership Trial. The CPR drafted these transfer forms and, so far as the Freehold Owners Association is aware, the CPR used identical wording in the transfer agreements that resulted in all of the approximately one million acres of split title freehold in Alberta, the split title freehold that exists in Saskatchewan, and any split title freehold that may exist in Ontario, Manitoba or British Columbia.
If petroleum was a hard mineral, then a reservation of all petroleum 'which may be found to exist' within, upon or under a particular tract of land would be the same as a reservation of all petroleum. But petroleum is a fugacious mineral which is free to move about and change phase within the subsurface pool in which it is confined in response to production-induced reservoir pressure changes. As a result, any petroleum which may be found to exist within, upon or under a particular tract of land when a well is drilled on the land and encounters a pool of hydrocarbons may not be the same petroleum as existed beneath the land prior to human disturbance - if production has occurred from elsewhere in the pool, the petroleum which initially existed beneath the tract may have moved or may have changed phase to natural gas.
In the Borys case, the Leduc D-3 Pool that was thought to exist beneath Mr. Borys' land had been on production for 3 ½ years at the time of the Borys trial, 280 wells had been drilled into the pool, and there were 10 producing wells on the section comprising his lands (see "1950 – 1953: Borys vs CPR & Imperial Oil Limited). At the time of the Borys trial, whatever existed in the earth beneath Mr. Borys' lands prior to human disturbance could not have continued to exist and initial conditions could not have prevailed because the Leduc D-3 Pool is an oil pool with a gas cap (a 'mixed pool') and production from a mixed pool gives rise to an interchange of hydrocarbons between the oil leg and the gas cap. The trial judge knew this because it was common ground in the Ownership Trial that production from a mixed pool gives rise to an interchange of hydrocarbons between the gas cap and the oil leg16, and the decisions of all three courts in Borys make it clear that the Leduc D-3 Pool is a mixed pool that was on production at the time of the Borys trial. The Borys courts knew this because the CPR and Imperial had retained an "array of the world's greatest living scientists"17 to tell them. These experts not only advised the courts of the status of drilling and production in the Leduc D-3 Pool, but also described the phase behaviour of the hydrocarbons in a mixed pool and advised the courts that the hydrocarbon interchange phenomena that occurs in a mixed pool makes distinguishing petroleum from natural gas based on the phase condition of the hydrocarbons in the ground prior to human disturbance physically and practically impossible (see "1950 – 1953: Borys vs CPR & Imperial Oil Limited").
The trial judge acknowledged that the CPR had reserved for itself all petroleum 'which may be found to exist' in the reservations in issue in both Borys and the Ownership Trial 18, that "the only reliable way to find oil and gas is to drill a well"19, and that "Ownership is based upon the original reservation20", but did not comment on the effect of the 'which may be found to exist' wording.
In the opinion of the Freehold Owners Association, the learned trial judge erred in concluding that the references in the Appellate Division ratio to 'in its natural condition in strata', 'in the ground' and 'in the earth' could mean nothing other than initial reservoir conditions", and in failing to give effect to the plain meaning of a reservation of all petroleum which may be found to exist within, upon or under split title lands.
Parlee J.A. clearly stated that gas and subterranean water are subject to like principles of law. It has been settled law for more than 150 years that an owner of a fee simple interest in land has a right to recover subterranean water from a well on his lands but has no absolute ownership in this water before he recovers or captures it. How can Parlee J.A.'s statement that subsurface gas and water are subject to like principles of law possibly be reconciled with the trial judge's interpretation of his decision as standing for the proposition that ownership of both gas and petroleum is determined prior to human disturbance?
In the opinion of the Freehold Owners Association, when Parlee J.A. spoke of the "original ownership" not being affected "by the release of gas from solution when the liquid is brought up the well bore to the surface, due to changes in pressure and temperature", the original ownership he was referring to was the ownership which is established when the petroleum emerges from the reservoir at the bottom of the well bore and is recovered or found to exist.
In FHOA's view, it is not the Privy Council's summary of the Appellate Division decision which is 'inaccurate', 'ill-considered' and 'wrong', but the trial judge's interpretation of the Appellate Division decision.
And is the Privy Council summary of the Appellate Division decision inconsistent with the remainder of the Privy Council decision as the trial judge found25?
In this statement, the Privy Council clearly tied ownership to recovery of the substances, not to the location or phase condition of the substances prior to human disturbance.
and whether the CPR and Imperial had the right to use or waste Mr. Borys' gas in recovering their petroleum.
As set forth above, the CPR had reserved all petroleum 'which may be found to exist'; the container had been tapped; and, the Privy Council knew that the substance was not necessarily in position. The trial judge dismissed the Privy Council's use of the present tense both here and throughout its decision on the same erroneous basis32.
The Privy Council had already ruled that the substance which is 'found' in the form of gas in situ is the property of the appellant. If in situ means in location prior to human disturbance, why would it be necessary for the Privy Council to assume that gas in situ is the property of the appellant even though it has not been reduced into possession?
These are not the only questions raised by the trial judge's decision in the Ownership Trial.
At trial, the freehold owner-plaintiffs called Dr. Robert Heidemann, former head of the Chemical and Petroleum Engineering Department of the University of Calgary, and Dr. Norman Wardlaw, former head of the Geology and Geophysics Department of the University of Calgary, as expert witnesses. Dr. Heidemann and Dr. Wardlaw spent 3 days explaining to the trial judge the nature of subsurface reservoirs, the fluids contained in these reservoirs, and how these fluids behave during production. The essence of these experts' testimony was that the phase condition of hydrocarbons as they emerge from the reservoir at the bottom of a well bore from time to time can be calculated with reasonable certainty using the existing records of the Alberta Energy Regulator (formerly known as the "Energy Resources Conservation Board") (the "Board") or using downhole instruments; that there had been no change in man's understanding of subsurface hydrocarbon behaviour since 1950; and, that it remained impossible in many oilfield circumstances to distinguish petroleum from natural gas based on the phase state of the hydrocarbons prior to human disturbance.
Is it irrelevant that under a prior to human disturbance method of determining ownership, all gas produced from an oil well on split title lands is assumed to be evolved gas belonging to the CPR and its successors unless and until the GOR "suddenly jumps up"?
Is it irrelevant that under a prior to human disturbance method of determining ownership, the regulatory body whose mandate is, in part, "to afford each owner the opportunity of obtaining the owner's share of the production of oil or gas from any pool"41 can't tell the difference between condensate and oil produced from a gas well on split title lands and leaves the distinction to an industry operator who may have a conflict of interest based on its obligation to pay royalties on condensate derived from gas cap gas to both the individual freehold owner of natural gas and the CPR or its successors?
The majority of the petroleum lease agreements that were before the trial judge as evidence in the Ownership Trial require the defendant energy company-lessees to pay the CPR and its successors a royalty on all natural gas produced and marketed from wells on split title lands, or on all natural gas except dry gas. Under terms of these leases the defendant oil company-lessees also indemnify the CPR and its successors for any costs incurred in defending any legal action brought by the freehold owner of natural gas, and for any and all damages that a court might award against the CPR or its successors (see "Post-Borys CPR Petroleum Lease", "CPR Petroleum Lease Amending Agreements").
At trial, counsel for the freehold owner-plaintiffs argued that the contractual demands of the CPR and Encana for royalties on hydrocarbons not owned by them, and not an unbiased application of the law set forth in Borys, had determined how royalties on hydrocarbons produced from split title lands had been paid for the past ½ century.
In fact, these leases were all negotiated a number of years after the Borys decision and clearly do not reflect the 'clear and uncontroversial' state of the law which the trial judge found was set forth in Borys. Furthermore, the only evidence of resiling (drawing back) before the trial judge were the amending agreements under which the CPR continues to demand a royalty on hydrocarbons not owned by it.
To be 'fair' is to be honest and ethical. Is 'fair' the proper description for a lease agreement in which the CPR demands a royalty on something that the courts have already decided belongs to someone else, and indemnification for all court costs and damages in the event that the someone else objects?
The concept of 'settled expectations' is based on the judiciary's reluctance to overturn earlier court decisions because members of society may have made important decisions based on the settled expectations arising from these earlier decisions.
In a brief submitted to the trial judge immediately before the Ownership Trial, PanCanadian acknowledged that it did not own all gas produced from a well on split title lands. After the Ownership Trial, in response to a written query from the trial judge, PanCanadian acknowledged that it did not own the condensate and natural gas liquids contained in gas cap gas. If, as the trial judge ruled, "The meaning of Borys is clear and uncontroversial."44, how can a lease in which the CPR and its successor corporations demand a royalty on something that the Borys courts ruled does not belong to them, and which they now admit they don't own, possibly be an indication of settled expectations arising from the Borys decision?
Subsequent to the Ownership Trial, a request was made to the Board under the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act ("FOIP") to review all documents in the possession of the Board dealing with how the Board interpreted the 1951 Alberta Supreme Court Trial Division, the 1952 Alberta Appellate Division and the 1953 Judicial Committee of the Privy Council decision in Borys. The Board was unable to find any relevant documents in response to this request, or in response to a further and better search ordered by the Information and Privacy Commissioner46. Clearly, if the practices and procedures of the Board ever reflected the ownership premise attributed to it by the defendants' regulatory expert, there is nothing in the Board files to even suggest that this ownership premise was based on the judicial decisions in Borys and could give rise to a settled expectation.
A thin layer of water lines the gas- or petroleum-filled pores of the reservoir rocks in most oil and gas pools. In addition, many oil and gas pools are bounded below by reservoir rocks whose pores are completely filled with water. The trial judge referred to this water as 'connate water'. Connate water contains gas dissolved in aqueous solution. Just as production-induced reservoir pressure decline causes gas to evolve from solution in petroleum, gas evolves from solution in connate water as the result of production from a pool. Just as the gas which evolves from petroleum in a mixed pool has no 'label' and cannot be separated from gas which was originally in the pool gas cap, gas which evolves from connate water in a pool cannot be separated from either gas evolved from petroleum or gas cap gas.
"What we are to look for in construing a reservation, Lord Porter told us, is the vernacular meaning of "petroleum". He found it difficult to believe that landowners, businessmen, engineers, the staff of CPR or Borys would have differentiated between oil and the gas in solution. "They would, in the view of the Board, have included in petroleum all the liquid substances in the mine. . . "(P.C. 557).
The trial judge has here misquoted Lord Porter and taken his Lordship's comments out of context. When Lord Porter stated that petroleum included "all the liquid substance in the mine", the liquid substance he was referring to was the oil and the gas in solution with that oil which ordinary people at the turn of the last century would not have differentiated between. Water is clearly a separate substance from petroleum and ordinary people have always differentiated between water and oil.
Twenty-four hundred years ago, a philosophy known as sophism was prevalent in Greek society. The sophists, who were specialists in the rhetoric of law and politics, believed that there was no fundamental truth and that any argument, no matter how fallacious, could be won if the debater had superior intelligence and language skills. Litigators are well paid to argue that black is white and it has been said that the difference between sophist and a good defense lawyer is in the eye of the beholder - to some Johnny Cochran who defended O.J. Simpson was a hero, not a sophist.
Was it reasonable or sophistic for the trial judge to use a misquote of Lord Porter's statement as the basis for her astounding conclusion that the vernacular or everyday meaning of petroleum includes water or the gaseous hydrocarbons dissolved therein?
In recent years, Canadians have grown increasingly cynical concerning their political system. To date, this public cynicism has not been extended to the judicial system. The wrongful murder convictions of David Milguard in Saskatchewan and Guy Morin in Ontario abundantly demonstrate that the legal system can make mistakes, but these errors were ultimately corrected, and those involved were compensated, reinforcing Canadian's deeply held faith in the integrity of their legal system and their believe that errors, when they occur, will be corrected. This faith is based, in part, on one of the fundamental safeguards in our legal system - the right to appeal an alleged error by a trial judge to a court of appeal.
One would have to be incredibly naive not to recognize that one likely effect of ordering citizens of ordinary financial means to pay $600,000 in costs to the same oil companies the citizens are suing, after a trial of a preliminary issue of law and before the trials of their law suits have even begun, would be to put an end to both the underlying law suits and the appeal of the trial judge's decision in the preliminary issue.
The trial judge was not sympathetic to the "hint that ordering costs to be payable forthwith might end the litigation because of the plaintiffs' limited financial resources". According to her Ladyship, the freehold owner-plaintiffs "appear not to be paying the bills for this litigation"50.
Why should individuals who cannot afford to advance their legal claims except under contingency fee agreements with lawyers and technical experts be treated any differently by the courts than individuals or corporations who can afford to pay on a fee for service basis?
The oil company-defendants' regulatory expert advised the trial judge that although the mandate of the Board is, in part, to "to afford each owner the opportunity of obtaining his share of the production of oil or gas from any pool", the Board assumes that lessees will look after the interests of freehold owner-lessors and takes the position that it has no jurisdiction to become involved in disputes between freeholders and their oil company lessees51. There are no other regulatory bodies or tribunals in Alberta that a freeholder can turn to if he believes that his oil company-lessee is not abiding by the terms of his lease agreement. A freeholder's only recourse is to the courts.
Inherently, the Canadian legal system favours powerful oil companies over individuals. For example, PanCanadian Petroleum Limited (now EnCana) had a large and competent technical staff but found it necessary to expend $83,000 on outside technical experts for the 6½ day Ownership Trial. PanCanadian had a profit of more than a billion dollars in 2000 and an expenditure of $83,000 was not financially material to it. Spending $83,000 for technical experts in a preliminary issue of law would clearly be material to the vast majority of individual freehold owners. So would paying the $200 - $400 per hour retainers of the "plethora of senior lawyers52 that the trial judge noted were retained by the "high profile clients"53 who appeared before her during the Ownership Trial.
Clearly, the cost of oil and gas litigation precludes most individual freehold owners from advancing legal claims against their oil company-lessees on anything other than a contingency fee basis.
The trial judge was charged with adjudicating two preliminary issues – the ownership of hydrocarbons produced from a well on split title lands and the duty of energy company-lessees to account to the respective owners. Her Ladyship did not address the accounting issue.
Immediately following the release of her ruling, the trial judge was elevated to the Court of Appeal of Alberta.

Pollari nabs production from Post Malone on "POPSTAR."
On Friday (yes we're four days late, sorry internets) Pollari dropped off a new album, ✞ lil llàri world ✞, which if you aren't already familiar with the Shlohmo co-signed rapper, will obviously bring you even deeper into his world. If you're wondering what Lil Lari's world sounds like, it's a mix between children lullabies, trap music and dial-up internet. Producers Misogi, senseiatl, Smokeasac and a few others help curate this very specific sound, and one such 'other' producer is Post Malone. The two get to collaborate on "POPSTAR," which consists of climbing synths and hollow verses from Pollari where he describes exactly what qualifies him for 'popstar' status.
Check out the full project stream here, with features from Lil Yachty, Curtis Williams and more.

HiStore is a floor-to-ceiling office storage system available in veneer, high gloss lacquer and MFC, based around a range of standard components customised to fit exactly into whatever space is available. HiStore wall storage enables the utilisation of the full office height for storage, against a wall or freestanding.
HiStore is offered in two variants: original HiStore and HiStore Lite. Both enable you to utilise the full height of your office for storage, but with differing degrees of sophistication and flexibility. Both available in all veneer and MFC finishes, including 3D MFC, and Designer Finishes.
HiStore uses any combination of timber and glass doors, drawers and lockers to create custom built-in storage configurations: for example, an end wall in a conference room combining storage with a central recess for a display screen. HiStore is installed by specialised fitters with joinery skills who scribe end panels around features such as skirting boards or cable trunking, creating fully fitted furniture. Because of the customisation of every HiStore installation, each must be priced individually following a site survey.
HiStore Lite is 520mm deep and offered with single and double doors, and can be installed by appropriately trained furniture fitters. HiStore Lite units are offered in 25mm height increments (with adjustment for a precise fit), so may be specified from a standard price list. New Seating Module features upholstered seat, back and armrests with storage above and below.
HiStore may be fixed against an existing wall, or used freestanding to create a partition. HiStore partition walls may comprise storage back to back (double thickness) or feature some modules opening to one side and some to the other side (single thickness). HiStore Lite, by comparison, is designed to be fixed against an existing wall.
HiStore Lite is a cost-effective solution for the majority of floor-to-ceiling office storage requirements. HiStore offers greater flexibility and a more fully-fitted appearance.


Great night. Loads of good food, lots of chatter and fun so very Italian... Great to have the Rainbows & Waratahs with us for the night.
If there had been a 'best dress in Italian theme' prize - this pair would surely have won ! Well done guys..


… in which I learned that the Highland coffee recipe includes one bottle of Coke.
… in which Greg was my partner in a dance routine for the Navy.
… in which my dad pulled some strings to get me in Boy Scouts for a week, and I failed the knot-identification portion of the OA ordeal.
My Bible does not have a bike horn embedded in the front cover, surprisingly enough.

Katie Rudolph's blog
[between 1885 and 1895?]
Harrison, Ave. Leadville, Colo.
Newspaper Reports of A Leadville Haunting, 1907
by Katie Rudolph on October 13, 2020
On April 5, 1907, Leadville's Herald Democrat newspaper reported that local barber John Wagner was desperately seeking new tenants for his rental property at 123 West Front Street. And if he couldn't find tenants? Well, then he'd sell the house, and cheaply if he had to.
The reason the house wasn't renting had everything to do with the rumors swirling about town. Wagner admitted that his two tenants—Italian miners who had paid three weeks of rent in advance—had vacated the property quite suddenly, citing the presence of "some strange being."
Hoist house at Leadville mine
A Headless Visitor
Wagner recalled to the Herald Democrat how his tenants had frantically visited him in the early morning hours, claiming they "could stay in the place no longer as it was inhabited by some strange being."
Telling Wagner that he could keep the money they had paid him in advance as long as they wouldn't be required to stay in the house another night, the tenants moved out in a hurry.
[1890-1900?]
Interior of a residence
The tenants' first few nights in the home had been peaceful. But things soon changed, as Wagner recounted:
On the fourth night while they were seated at a table, eating a late supper, they were confronted with a headless man walking about the room. They had not seen him enter the building, and could not hear the sounds of his footsteps.
He took a seat at the table, and partook of their meal, the food which he apparently ate, disappearing as he raised it to the position where his mouth would be, were he possessed with a head.
Three nights later, the headless visitor appeared again—this time in a bed, just as the two men were retiring for the evening. The tenants were so frightened that they bolted from the home and slept at a neighbor's house.
Wagner said that nothing unusual had occurred at the house before and chalked the stories up to the imaginations of Leadville's superstitious residents:
There is a story told among the residents of Front Street that some years ago, a man hung himself with a pair of suspenders in that house, and the superstitious among them, and they are nearly all superstitious, believe that it is the spirit of the suicide come back haunt the scenes of his earthly career.

Herman DeMongue, Ghostbuster
Just a few days later on April 11, the Herald Democrat reported that Herman DeMongue, a "fortune teller, spiritualistic medium and professional ghost tamer" had arrived in Leadville and landed in the office of real estate agent Walter Stickley. Stickley was hired to find new tenants for the rental property at 123 West Front Street.
DeMongue presented his take on the alleged haunting:
The spirit is dissatisfied in its present world and it has come back to seek consolation. It must be comforted, and if you will allow me to talk to it, I think I can satisfy it. Maybe it is seeking to right some wrong committed during its life on this earth.
DeMongue offered his ghost removal services to Stickley at the cost of $2.50 (equivalent to about $69 in today's money). Stickley declined.

"A Strange Light"
Reports of paranormal activity at the West Front Street house continued. On April 18, the Herald Democrat reported that a high school boy had a terrifying encounter outside of the home that all began with the presence of an eerie light.
...he saw a strange light coming from the windows, he says, which shed a peculiar glow in front of the building. He approached a little nearer and attempted to learn the source of the illumination. The light blinded him somewhat, but he could not see anything which gave forth the strange rays. The light was there and seemed to fill the whole building but no lamp, or burning object could be seen. He stood for a moment and watched, and commenced to move away.
Leadville from Capitol Hill
As he was retracing his steps, the light disappeared, and a man shot out through the window in the front of the house. The man carried a huge burning object in his hand, which gave forth an offensive smell, the boy says.
He passed within a few feet of the point where the young man was standing, and ran across Front street in the direction of the Midland siding. As he crossed the street he dropped the ball of fire into the road.
Dumbfounded for a little while the boy started in pursuit of the stranger. He would have followed him, but he had disappeared. With the dropping of the burning object the man was no longer to be seen. Undismayed at his attempt to tame the ghost, the high school lad went to the spot where the fire ball had been dropped, but it was gone. It burned but a few minutes after falling to the ground and no remains of it were to be seen.

Unsolved Mystery?
While it appears that the Herald Democrat lost interest in the alleged hauntings on Front Street, many questions remain that could be answered today using newspapers, city directories, and other historical records. Had a suicide really occurred at the home? Was there really a 123 Front Street (the 1895 Sanborn Fire Insurance map above indicates there isn't, as it would have to have been located amongst railroad tracks)? If so, who had lived there?
Maybe YOU can solve the mystery.

Apple's forthcoming smartwatch could feature support for arm and wrist gestures, as well as the ability to transform.
A new Apple patent published today by the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has hinted at possible features of the company's long-awaited smartwatch, including hybrid functionality.
The Wrist-worn electronic device and methods therefor patent confirms much of the speculation that has so far surrounded the device, as well as describing previously unknown capabilities like advanced proximity-sensing circuitry, an electronic strap, haptic feedback and support for arm and wrist gestures.
The smartwatch - labelled as "iTime" in one of the illustrations but more commonly referred to as the iWatch - could potentially be a convertible device that can switch from a fitness band to a portable media player.
"In one embodiment, the electronic device can be a mobile electronic device that can be removably coupled to the electronic wristband which provides the additional circuitry or devices," the patent reads.
Patent illustrations hint at a hybrid device that can convert from a fitness band to a smartwatch.
"Advantageously, the electronic device can utilise the additional electrical circuitry or devices provided within the electronic wristband to augment the capabilities of the electronic device."
The patent mentions that the strap itself would feature an accelerometer, a GPS module and haptic feedback mechanisms, while a square shaped dock would allow for the insertion of the media player to transform it into a smartwatch.
Apple is expected to launch a 1.6in iWatch and two versions of a 1.8in model between September and December this year.
Reports in Taiwan's Economic Daily suggested that the 1.8in model would come in a standard and premium version.
Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has speculated that the launch time is likely to be closer to the end of the year due to setbacks in Apple's production plans.
"We have pushed back our estimated time of iWatch mass production from late September to mid-to-late November," Kuo said in a leaked report. "We also lower our forecast of iWatch 2014 shipments by 40% to 3m units."
Most of the major tech firms appear to be positioning themselves for a widely-anticipated boom in demand for wearable technology.
Apple is already facing competition from smartwatches running on Google's Android Wear mobile operating system, with offerings from Samsung, Motorola and LG all shown off at Google's annual developer conference last month.
Meanwhile Microsoft is reportedly preparing for the launch of its own sensor-laden smartwatch later this year.
A source close to the matter recently revealed to IBTimes UK that Microsoft's smartwatch is expected to feature a blood-glucose monitor and a UV sensor.

Rumi Foundation supports WIRED Innovation Fellowships 2016
By WIRED
Elizabeth Stokoe
WIRED's Innovation Fellowship now has the support of one of the UK's leading business people, with winners now set to receive coaching and networking opportunities.
In 2016, the 12 WIRED Innovation Fellows will benefit from the support of The Rumi Foundation. The charity is chaired by Lord Rumi Verjee, who bought Dominos Pizza to the UK in 1982 after purchasing the franchising rights.
The Rumi Foundation will help provide the selected Fellows with coaching, personal development, and networking opportunities. As well as the additional supported provided by the Foundation the Fellows will also speak at and attend WIRED events. "We seek to create a space to think, to question and to explore and by nurturing fresh thinking we aim to extend its influence beyond institutional and geographical boundaries," Lord Verjee said. "It is with this shared vision that we support the WIRED Innovation Fellowship for 2016. By being nurtured, mentored and given the opportunity to share knowledge with like minded people from across the world, the WIRED Innovation Fellows truly have the potential to make a significant impact on the world."

Hieracium gronovii L.
Hieracium gronovii L. var. foliosum Michx.
Gronovius' hawkweed, hairy hawkweed
Genus Hieracium From Greek hierakion, "a hawk," from Pliny's belief that hawks strengthened their eyesight by eating these plants
Species gronovii For Jan Fredrik Gronon, for whom I can find no information other than that she lived from 1690-1762
I couldn't determine whether this is a native hawkweed, or one that originated in Europe.
Identification: Plants are 12-18" (30-45 cm) in height, rarely up to 31" (80 cm), with hairy stems. Stems, leaves, and stolons secrete a milky sap when cut. Most of the leaves are a basal rosette of spatula-shaped leaves up to 3½-4" (9-10 cm) × 1" (2.6 cm). Leaves are alternate, usually unlobed and toothless, and oblanceolate, obovate, elliptic, or spatulate. Flower heads are typically composed of 25-50 flowers, and take the form of a raceme composed of several branching cymes. This compound inflorescence is called a thyrse. Each flower is yellow, ½-1" (1.3-2.5 cm) across, with 20-40 rays. (An otherwise similar species, Hieracium scabrum, has 40-100 rays.) Flowers appear from July to October.
This hawkweed comparison table is an aid to identifying hawkweeds and similar-appearing species.

I remember always veering away from horizontal stripes because I didn't think I could wear them. Most people, even stylists, might say that stripes will make you look wider. I don't think it's always true. Here are a couple fashion tips and tricks for how to wear horizontal stripes and still look stylish and fashionable.
Keep it simple: You'll want to pick a singular foundation piece to build your look. I find it easiest to do that with bottoms, like pants, shorts, or a skirt, but you'll typically find me in pants. I am absolutely in love with UME Unite's Lucy Lee pants. I find pant shopping quite difficult. Seriously, I cannot tell you how get the fabric, the fit, and feel of the UME pants really is. The waist has an elastic band in the back too, so they are super comfortable, all day long. Get free shipping with promo code LoveList15 thru June 14.
Play with Colors: Be bold and wear bright colors. If you want to play it safe, go with shoes or accessories that are bright like Oka-b's Taylor flats in Coral.
Mix Patterns: Don't be afraid, to mix another pattern with your striped piece. I promise it will get easier the more you try it. I suggest a colorful scarf like Ash & Anchor Anaïs Long Infinity Scarf. It's perfect for pull together you outfit during any season.
Accessorize: Complete your look with your jewelry. Try something simple, yet still eye catching like La Mer Collections'Cairo' Pyramid Stud Leather Wrap Bracelet Watch.
I just got a black and white horizontal striped top. Such a great "Coco Chanel" look!
Thanks for the gentle reminder that I need a new striped tee.
I'm so not fashion forward. I would never think to pair stripes with a pattern. Without a pic to guide me, I wouldn't know how. Love this and want that watch!
I love stripes (horizontal) and have some, but never wear them. And I'm tempted to buy more, now I think I have more confidence to wear these stripes and look great doing it!!!
I love the Oka-b's Taylor flats in Coral. What a pretty color and I would love to wear those with stripes.
These are all great ideas – I just realized how much I've been stuck in a rut – and I do have some horizontal stripes I haven't been wearing – I'd love this scarf, too!
I find it hard as well. I feel like I'm not dressed properly if I just mix things up. I guess these days it doesn't make a difference what you wear.
