Are You Ready to Finally Earn
Some REAL Money Online?
"Writers – You've Never Had A
Greater Opportunity!"
A Writer? Nonsense!
If You Can Chat With Friends
Over Coffee You've Got The Tools You Need To Write, Publish And PROFIT From Kindle Books – This Simple, 100%
Proven Program Shows You How!
Success-Minded Friend,
you're interested in earning substantial passive income online, and you're sick and damn tired of all the "get
rich quick" hype and hoopla, then you'll want to carefully read every word of this letter.
You're about to discover a
program that reveals everything from the mechanics to the mindset of writing and publishing Kindle books to
build a sustainable, evergreen business.
don't care if you think you're not a "writer" or if you're convinced you just aren't "creative". You're about to
see for yourself how easily you can – literally over the course of a single weekend – research, write and
publish your very first book. (And if you are a writer, you're about to discover how to take that skill
and profit from it like never before!)
discover that writing books can be fun, exciting and profitable for you, just as it is for the men and women
currently earning tens of thousands per month (and sometimes more!) with their Kindle books. You'll discover
that there's a simple, proven formula for ensuring every book you publish becomes a source of sustainable
passive income, as I'll show you in just a moment. And you'll discover, too, how having personal support
from me and other successful authors can make the difference between success and failure in this
my name is Geoff Shaw, and it's my pleasure to introduce you to Kindling, a home based business
opportunity unlike anything you've ever seen before.
Big Mistake Almost Everyone Makes
They Try To Earn Money Online
first thing that makes Kindling so unique is the fact that you're not going to find any "get rich quick"
promises made in this program. Look, if there was a way to earn beaucoup bucks without any effort – I'd be all
over that.
there's not.
Unfortunately, when most people
try to make money online they go for the quick fix. They need the money fast – yesterday if possible. They fail
to plan for long term success. And so even if they earn a few dollars (and, sadly, the overwhelming majority
don't) it's not long before they're overwhelmed, exhausted and completely at a loss as to how to continue
generating income.
Instead, it makes a lot more
sense to create assets that have the potential to generate passive income over the course of many years.
This is the difference between playing at earning money online, and having a genuine business; the difference
between worrying about how to scrape by to the end of the month, and enjoying financial

step-by-step how to build a business publishing books online.
this program you won't be learning how to make a quick buck; and if that's what you're looking for, honestly,
you'll probably be disappointed with Kindling.
But if
you've been convinced, either through intuition or painful personal experience, that the hype-drenched
money-making schemes you see on popular forums and all over the Internet are worth about as much as a goldfish
on a cat farm, then you'll want to give Kindling a good look.
because I've created Kindling out of my own experiences, and the experiences of many of my students, who
earn more money writing and publishing Kindle books than they could have ever hoped to earn running themselves
ragged in the corporate rat race.
I've discovered is this: not only is it possible to make a very good living writing and publishing Kindle
books, but it's something that anyone who has passion, belief in their ability and a solid work ethic can
accomplish – all you need is support and a proven template to follow.
get both of those in Kindling.
Many Of These Would Radically Transform
Ability To Earn Money With Kindle Books?
Here's just a sample of what
you'll discover in Kindling:
How to effortlessly come up with plots, characters and settings even if you're not a
(Most would-be authors freeze like a deer in the headlights at the thought of writing a book. You'll learn the
exact strategy that I and other Kindling Members use to whip up a novel in as little as 30 days.)
How to co-author books with yourself. (And why doing so is one of the
fastest ways to achieve financial freedom through Kindle publishing.)
The essential research tactic that practically guarantees your book will sell. (This little-used research
tactic is easy to do, grants you X-ray vision into the types of books that people are actually buying, and
takes all the guesswork out of your success.)
How to combine quality content with good promotion to run rings around the competition.
(As a Kindling Member,
you'll have access to proven marketing strategies that the vast majority of writers publishing on Amazon don't
even know exists. I hope you're comfortable having what some might call an unfair competitive

of cash on the table. Do this and watch your profits soar without any extra
Why you don't have to be a great writer to make a killing with Kindle. (In fact, being a relative
newcomer to writing and publishing can give you an advantage over the competition because you can avoid the
habits and practices that keep most "professional" writers from ever earning any real money.)
How to launch your books for maximum sales and profitability. (This step-by-step launch formula
is somewhat counter-intuitive, but as you'll see in multiple case studies it works. Numerous Kindling
Members have used it to sell thousands of copies of their books and add many tens of thousands of dollars to their
bank accounts – you can easily do the same.)
How to get unstuck when you're feeling stuck for motivation. (Sure, writing is a lot of fun,
but it is work. Here's how to stay motivated and making steady progress towards writing, publishing and
money-making goals.)
The two types of sales magnets you should use to dramatically increase your readership and
sales. (This is what lets folks who are
brand new to publishing generate sales fast.)
The secret of creating a brand that supercharges the profitability of your publishing
business. (The better you brand your
business, the more money you'll make and the faster you'll make it. Luckily, branding isn't difficult when you know
how to do it – I'll show you how.)
A "stealth" way to appeal to the people in your target market. (Writers have been using this for
years, but I'll show you a new way to tap into this old tradition to attract a wider readership to your

your new book published and earning profit for you.)
The biggest obstacle standing between you and publishing a book that makes you money.
(The sad thing
is that most people misinterpret this obstacle as a good thing … when in fact it keeps more people
from making money with publishing than perhaps anything else.)
Why word count isn't as important as you probably think it is. (And what you should be
focused on if you want to write books your market will love.)
How to write stories that sell WITHOUT having the writing chops of a best-selling
author. (If you can write an email, or if
you've ever chatted with friends over dinner, then you have the skills you need to make a lot of money with
The "5 P's" of writing fiction that SELLS LIKE CRAZY. (I'll get into the nuts and bolts
of Planning, Plotting, Putting It Together, Proofing and Promoting – the 5 simple steps people like you are using

(The ultimate cure for writer's block from an unusual source ...)
The #1 EASIEST way to profit from the books you publish. (Believe it or not, this will make
your writing much easier … and it's the fastest way to build an evergreen publishing business.)
Why giving away your books for free can explode your profits. (It all depends on HOW you do
this. I'll show you how a Kindling Member increased her income by 40% by offering one of her books for
8 real life case studies of Kindling Members who are earning five and six figures a year using the
strategies and techniques they learned in this program. (The point isn't to get you
excited about the money these people are making, but rather to show you HOW they're making it so you can learn from
their example and do the same.)
Is it necessary for your book to have gobs of reviews? (Lots of people get hung up on
their book not having many – or any – reviews on Amazon. But are reviews really all they're cracked up to
be? Here's my answer.)
Why the most profitable books are written FAST. (And how to get your first book
written and published in as little as a single weekend.)
How to successfully promote your author brand using social media and a personal
website. (Plus … how to build a powerful
brand in the least amount of time possible.)
How one Kindling Member sold 80,000 copies of a single book in 6 months with virtually no
promotion. (You'll see exactly how she did
it, and how you can learn from her example.)
How to create links between your books. (And why this is a powerful
way to make more easy money with Kindle publishing.)
The "James Patterson method" to building a cash-generating publishing empire. (Convinced you can't tell a good
story? Too many other responsibilities to give a book the time it deserves? I'll show you exactly how to

Do this with your stories and you'll quickly build a thriving readership of faithful
fans. (This does take work, but
it isn't difficult. And once you've mastered this essential skill every book you publish will be an asset that
generates profit for you year after year.)

So let
me be blunt: Unless you're willing to invest between five and ten hours of your time each week to building a
profitable publishing business, I would recommend that you not join Kindling.
Your biggest investment in
Kindling will be your time.
And if
you're serious about making that investment, brace yourself for amazing results.
Imagine what your life would be
like if you were earning an extra $1,000 per month, $5,000, $10,000 per month – or more – doing something you
loved. What if, every month, you were earning more in passive income than you currently earn with your

Much Is Financial Freedom Worth To You?
it's unlikely that you'll be earning astronomical money the minute you publish your first couple of books, an
extra $1,000 per month is a very attainable goal to begin with.
No, an
extra $1,000 per month isn't enough to tell your boss what you really think of your job, but it's far
from chump change.
are some of the ways this extra $1,000 every month could change your life?
impact could this extra money have on your marriage or other important personal relationships?
gift or treat could you buy for yourself or your family?
much of this extra money would you invest in your future?
you finally take the vacation you've been putting off for years because you didn't have the
hobbies would you enjoy with a portion of this extra money?
would you feel about providing an extra source of income for your family's happiness and
What would all of that be worth

Year in Industry or Abroad (optional)
Year in Industry or Abroad (optional)
You have the option of spending a year studying abroad at one of our partner institutions or working in an industrial placement. Alternatively, you can opt to continue studying at the University and complete your degree in three years.
Year in Industry
An industrial placement is a fantastic opportunity to gain experience of a working environment - and will normally be a paid position, more than offsetting the additional cost of the extra year.
Eligibility is dependent on your academic performance in Years 1 and 2. If you are accepted onto the programme you will be responsible for securing your internship placements. Please note that being accepted onto the programme does not guarantee you access to an internship.
During your placement you will be visited by a Placement Support Officer. You will also come back to the University to give a brief presentation of your work experience. You will be provided with a log book to document your placement and will write a final report detailing your work, which will be assessed as part of your degree.
You will be supported through guided sessions, including:
- Introduction to the scheme
- Researching placement opportunities
- Making successful applications
- Effective interview techniques
- Preparing for my placement
A year in industry is an excellent opportunity to learn more about the types of profession that you can choose after you graduate, and can also point you towards postgraduate studies that may help you on the path to your chosen career.
Your placement effectively begins in Year 2 when you will be briefed in writing a CV, interview techniques and the procedures that you need to follow to obtain an industrial placement. In addition, a list of potential industrial partners who have taken students in past years will be provided to you.
Year Abroad Information
If you want to, you can spend your third year studying abroad at one of our partner institutions (eligibility is dependent on your academic performance in Years 1 and 2).
Studying abroad is not just for people who are interested in travelling and meeting new people. It is about acquiring life skills that are becoming increasingly significant for a wide range of jobs in our modern globalised society. Whether you go on to work in the private sector, the state sector, a non-governmental organisation or become self-employed you will find the experience invaluable. Find out more from our Global Opportunities team.
Please note that a year spent abroad still incurs a tuition fee, but this is much lower than for a normal year at Leicester. See our Fees and Funding section for details.
The School of Business has links with several European universities, administered through the Erasmus+ scheme. If you are eligible for a loan from Student Finance you can apply for a travel grant from them. Languages courses, at both beginners and advanced level, are available through the University's Languages at Leicester scheme.

When Renato Previdelli learned that he would be spending 2012 studying abroad at the University of Nebraska, he didn't know what to think at first.
But the veterinary medicine student from Sao Paulo, Brazil, quickly realized he had been given a special opportunity.
"I figured out Nebraska has the biggest beef production in the U.S.," Previdelli said. "That's awesome.
"Nebraska is very strong in beef cattle production, (and) so is Brazil. In veterinary medicine, we have several classes which study livestock management and production. Undoubtedly I will gain a lot of experience in cattle production and also be able to bring new experiences to my country and my career."
A month into his Nebraska experience, Previdelli already is wishing he could stay longer than a year. He's keeping busy with his University of Nebraska-Lincoln classes in veterinary virology, the economics of agriculture, and prevention of livestock diseases; and he's enjoying getting to know his professors and fellow students.
"The professors are very well-qualified, very well-prepared and very attentive," he said. "They're always willing to help us, give advice and ask if we're having problems with the classes.
"I am very grateful for this opportunity I am having at UNL. This is the sort of thing that every undergraduate student wants to have: a chance to study abroad."
Previdelli is one of 28 Brazilian undergraduates spending the year at the University of Nebraska as part of Brazil's "Science Without Borders" initiative – one component of the Brazilian government's larger goal to provide scholarships to 100,000 students for study at the world's best universities.
The Science Without Borders group at the University of Nebraska is the largest single delegation anywhere in the U.S. Most of the students are majoring in the STEM fields – science, technology, engineering and mathematics – and several are studying agriculture, all key areas for growth in the knowledge-based economy.
Selected in a competitive application process, the students are among the best and brightest from Brazil, and their presence at the University of Nebraska will enrich not only their own education but the education of NU students who will have the opportunity to interact with them. Brazil is among the countries NU is targeting for close cooperation because of its shared commitment to solving critical issues in agriculture, water, energy, public health and medical research, and early childhood education.
"These are areas that offer rich opportunities for collaboration that can put us in a better position to solve great global challenges," said President James B. Milliken. "Student exchanges and other partnerships with Brazil will deepen our ties there and give the next generation of leaders a chance to develop the skills they will need to succeed in the global economy."
Milliken, who was in Brazil the day after President Dilma Rousseff announced her plans to send 100,000 students abroad, set a goal for NU to be a leading host institution. Together with Institute for Agriculture and Natural Resources Vice Chancellor Ronnie Green, he met with high-ranking Brazilian education and government officials to discuss NU's strengths and areas for potential partnership.
Milliken previously had hosted the U.S.-Brazil Fulbright Commission at NU campuses and was a speaker at the Council on Competitiveness' U.S.-Brazil Innovation Summit in Washington in 2010.
NU is focusing on collaborations with Brazil, India and China as part of its larger strategy for global engagement. Milliken's goals also include significantly growing international enrollment on NU's four campuses, and providing every undergraduate the opportunity to study abroad.
Recently, NU initiated a new study-abroad program offering students from all four campuses the opportunity for short-term study in Brazil during which they will explore the country's politics, culture, economics and society. The first group of students will leave for Brazil this June.
They'll likely learn as much in Brazil as the Brazilian students are learning now in the U.S.
"My classes are wonderful with interesting discussions," said Luiz Alves, a native of Rio de Janeiro who is studying computer engineering at NU's Peter Kiewit Institute in Omaha. "The professors are excellent and my classmates are very helpful.
"When I return to Brazil, my chances of being hired by a great company will raise due to my exchange in the U.S.A."
Ana Fernandez, a Sao Paulo native who is studying mechanical and electrical engineering at UNL, called studying abroad "a great personal and academic experience."
"I'm able to do lots of things here (that) I wouldn't in Brazil," Fernandez said. "Also, it will be very important to mention my experience here when I'll be applying for jobs back in Brazil."
Fernandez said she's impressed with the assistance provided to her on campus by faculty and others.
"People always want to help us to have the greatest experience we can have and feel comfortable," she said. "I'm very happy to be here."

Personal Statements, Resumes, and Letters of Recommendation / On Line Law -any one know anything about it« on: January 05, 2009, 02:39:38 PM »
Hoping someone can offer a viable solution or at least a recomendation. Iam a Single mom that currently lives in a city where no part time school law program is an option. I work full time and travel 70% of my job as a National Director. Law school is something I have been considering for many years but due to the above restraints I continue to put off the goal based on the above. Being a person that doesnt give up easily I am now t the point of considering a ONLINE Law programs as the only real solution for me but my concern is that there is no online program worth the effort/money/degree. I know nothing about these programs. Am I wrong, are they not worth the paper the degree is written on? Does any one know anything about online school law programs?? Thanks in advance!

Visits, Admit Days, and Open Houses / Re: Super Lawyer Rankings« on: September 28, 2010, 02:42:00 PM »
IU-Indy's relatively strong showing is a perfect example of the flaw (or strength, depending on your perception) of this ranking. IU-Indy graduates a high number and places almost exclusively in Indianapolis big and/or locally prestigious firms. As a consequence, their most successful graduates tend to be the highest profile lawyers in the state's only significant legal market. IU-Bloomington grads, for example, can tend to disperse to larger legal markets where they have less chance to stand out and become "super lawyers". In a way, this ranking can be read to expose how relatively well lower T1 and T2 law schools produce successful lawyers in their regional markets. So in that sense, it is valuable in a way other rankings are not.

French actress Julie Delpy is puzzled by U.S. fans' and journalists' reactions to her topless scenes in new movie "Before Midnight" because she was just trying to play an authentic wife in the film.
The 43 year old thought nothing of the breast scenes she helped write because she hates watching other actresses keep items of clothing on during intimate movie moments.
She says, "If you look at a movie like 'Bridesmaids'… she (Kristen Wiig) has sex with a bra on with Jon Hamm. I mean, have you ever had sex with a bra on? Never."
And Delpy tells Entertainment Weekly magazine there was never a question about her baring her breasts in the film.
She adds, "Some women have come up to me and said, 'Don't you feel exploited…?' I'm 43. There's nothing fake about me. I'm not trying to be a sex object… I'm like, listen, my mom was a hardcore feminist. She demonstrated topless in the '60s. For me, showing my breasts is a lot more of a 'f– you and I don't give a s–'. I am who I am."
But co-star Ethan Hawke wishes audiences could understand why Delpy bared almost all for some of the scenes, adding, "At a Q&A (question and answer session) the other night at the Tribeca Film Festival, someone shouted out after the movie, 'Julie, you've got great t–'."

Fire damages Sparrows Point church: A three-alarm fire tore through a church in the 4300 block of North Point Blvd. in Sparrows Point on Tuesday night, causing parts of the roof to collapse, according to a Baltimore County fire official. There were no injuries reported, officials said.
Peaceful march for Trayvon Martin met by heavy police presence: There were at least as many police officers as protesters in front of City Hall on Tuesday evening after a group of about 40 people walked there from the site of a planned youth jail in downtown Baltimore.
Balto. Co. school board OKs Dance as superintendent: The Baltimore County school board voted unanimously Tuesday night to approve S. Dallas Dance, a Houston school administrator, as the next superintendent of its 105,000-student system.
Orioles squander chances vs. Yankees, lose in 12 innings: Just 30 minutes before midnight, New York's Raul Ibanez hit a two-out, run-scoring, ground-rule double to right-center field in the 12th off Pedro Strop that ultimately handed the Orioles a 5-4 loss.
What now? Legislative leaders decry budget cuts, say special session is needed: Democratic lawmakers limped out of Annapolis having enacted a "doomsday" budget that slashes spending for education and other services they do not want to cut -- and with no clear plan on how to fix a political mess of their own making.
Canton rehab without permits could lead to jail time: City officials say the case of a rowhouse with illegal renovations shows that when safety is at stake and other enforcement measures fall short, they aren't afraid to throw you behind bars for breaking the rules.
Md. becomes 1st state to ban employers from asking for social media passwords: If Gov. Martin O'Malley signs the bill, it would make Maryland the first state in the nation to set such a restriction into law. Other states are considering similar legislation, including Illinois and California.

Here's the plan: I fold the webbing in two, tie a figure-8 to secure the ends together, and pass the ends around the tree and through the newly formed loop. I then use a taughtline hitch through the webbing's figure-8 loop to secure my single ridgeline to the two straps, then pull the ridgeline up to the desired height. To secure the hammock to the ridgeline, I tie paracord prissics to the ~8mm diameter ridgeline, then run one of the two ends of the paracord (hanging loose from the prussic) through the loop in my hammock and tie both ends together with another figure-8.
What do you think?

i am visiting family before the grind of the semester begins anew. one of the benefits to being in this household is the insane numbers of subscription networks on the old boob tube. my grandfather has access to this googolplex of narrowcast networks because it is tied to the programming bundle that contains the western/cowboy sub-genre of American tv and film which he favors. i avoid subscription tv in my day-to-day life so this is fun to look at the niches all of these groups are trying to carve out.
one such narrowcast network is the Science Channel and i spent the last hour watching 'Prophets of Science Fiction' a documentary on the predictions and work of Jules Verne and H.G. Wells. sure this program was pulpy, contained cheesy historical reproductions of the science labs, and was large on hype, but the thesis was compelling. the show recounted of the predictions that Well and Verne had made in the pursuit of the art of writing. and doubly compelling as it pointed out political/moral differences of the 19th c. techno-deterministic utopianism of Verne versus the 20th c. Modernist disaffection and social concern of Wells. both writers engaged set the bar for speculative fiction as well as assuredly inspired the engineering and science by blueprinting the ideas of the submersible research vessel, time travel, and nuclear weapons. once again a fine example of the vital contribution and necessity of the arts to drive culture, not just record it.

The Everblades managed forty-five shots but had difficulty cracking Scott Stajcer, the Road Warriors' netminder. Matt Pistilli, whom Florida acquired from South Carolina in late December, had Florida's only goal.

After combining for three points the night before, both Alex Hutchings and Maxime Langelier-Parent, who , . Dan Milan was scratched while Charles Landry, who was also inactive, remains in Syracuse with the Crunch. Florida (22-16-8, 52 PTS) will next head across the state to begin a two-game set against divisional foe Orlando (21-22-5, 47 PTS) on Thursday.

The image, the word "---hole" with an arrow pointing to a house nearby, is mowed into a lawn.
The motive behind the crafted message is unclear, but it may have appeared as early as 2011, according to Buzz60.
Google Earth allows you to see the world as it is from the comfort of your computer and if you look close enough, you can find some interesting stuff.
Redditors who found the aerial photo claim the feud dates back to 2009 when one neighbor painted their house lavender and fuchsia.
Neighbors claimed the brightly colored home "polluted our views" and filed a request for property tax relief with the county assessor's office, according to the Peninsula Daily News.

We are moving to IISER, Mohali in Chandigarh for the next two years — perhaps for longer. It was nearly thirteen years ago that we drove the "bhuddi" Premier Padmini from Bangalore to Chennai; the two of us on either side of not-yet-three-year-old Shruti. We landed in the IMSc guest house in the evening. The ever helpful guest house staff (which in those days was Charles, Prasad and Parthiban) helped us move our stuff into one of the flatlets.
Innimerable people have done their bit to help us grow our roots here and it is impossible to thank everyone by name; so let me thank people by listing some notable cases:
- In 1996, there were fewer non-Tamil-speaking working couples in Chennai than there are now and there were even fewer day-care centres.
- We had no idea how difficult (or easy) it would be to find a Montessori school which would accept such a young child. Shruti joined Supraja (later to split off as Navadisha) at the age of three-and-a-half.
- It was the great work of the (entirely voluntary) team of institute members (and former institute members) which found us in a place with a steady 19.6K always-on net connection; a rarity in India in
- Moreover, the LAN was entirely functional.
- Early-on in our stay here a water lorry side-swiped us as we were driving on the one-and-a-half lane Old Mahabalipuram Road (which is now the 6 lane Rajiv Gandhi Salai). A number of IMSc people dropped what they were doing to rush to our aid.
- The institute drivers helped us find a mechanic, who then became our regular for the "buddhi" and ultimately also bought the car off us to break it up for spare parts.
- The nice family in Kalakshetra who helped us out when we were stranded there without petrol and a three-year old child who needed to use the "facilities".
- The Institute tradition of holding an annual "fresher's welcome" introduced us to our many colleagues and future students.
- "Lilavati"'s early residents (some of whom had moved in mere days ahead of us!) welcomed us there and showed us the ropes of setting up a house in Chennai. One particularly helpful life-line was volunteering to speak in Tamil with the various people who provided daily services like milk and newspaper delivery.
- Chennai in 1998 was a place where people in our income bracket could afford to invest in a house — but "Where?" and "How?". We were introduced to Velachery and Alacrity and (in the long run!) both of these turned out to be just the right thing for us.
- Will there be a research seminar? Will interesting people visit? Will students be interested in working with us? All in all, will there be work to do or is it just another sleepy tropical place? These questions were answered in a positive sense very quickly. The Institute was a very active working environment even then and has only become more so with each passing year.
- The people of IMSc/Lilavati/Jyotsna Colony have been like family to us. "No car, will drive? Go ahead borrow my car!" "Like music/dance? Here are some concert tickets!" "Going away? Don't worry we'll keep an eye on your things." "Looking for a school? Here's an introduction to the one my kid goes to." The list goes on.
For better or worse, life goes on and so we too must move on…

New Brunswick Index
New Brunswick Index
One of the unsolved mysteries of the Titus family of North America is the ancestry of John Titus whose lineage is the subject of this index. All that is known is that he arrived in New Brunswick around 1771 from New York and settled on a land grant at Washademoak, Queens Co., NB along with a Benjamin and a Silas Titus, who also originated in New York. Church of Latter Day Saints records state that John was the son of a John and Elizabeth Titus, but no source of this data is given except that it was submitted by Kay Beal of 1482 W. Hanks Circle, Farmington, VT, 84025. "Loyalist Families" indicates that John Titus originated in New Jersey.
Robert Titus arrived in the new world in 1635 from London, along with his wife and two children. Three other sons were born in the United States. His genealogy is reasonably well documented, but there are large gaps in the lineages of two of his sons, Abiel and Content. It could well be that John belongs to Robert's lineage.
There is another possibility that this John Titus is a descendant of Titus Syrach De Vries, a Dutch immigrant to the United States about 1650. His descendants adopted the surname Titus and several branches of this Dutch Titus family have yet to be researched.
Benjamin, according to "Land Grants of Loyalists" published by the New Brunswick Department of Transportation, received land at Westfield, Kings Co., NB. (Ononette). He received a subsequent grant in Upper Canada (Ontario) and no further record of him can be found as he probably died before the 1851 Canadian census was taken. Census records do, however, include Titus families living in Prince Edward County, Ontario which could be his descendants, as they are listed as having originated in New Brunswick. Further research is necessary. No further reference to any Silas Titus has been found in New Brunswick references.

Iraq's Council of Ministers has approved the designation of the country's first national park, in the Mesopotamian Marshes of southern Iraq.
Once the third largest wetland in the world, the Mesopotamian Marshes are widely thought to be the original 'Garden of Eden'. However, they were nearly destroyed during the Gulf War in the 1990s, when Iraq's president, Saddam Hussein, drained the area and reduced the marshland to less than ten percent of its original extent.
Since Saddam's downfall in 2003, efforts have been made to re-flood and restore the marshes, with surprising success. The new designation as a national park will hopefully help to protect this vital habitat into the future.
Wildlife returns
The Mesopotamian Marshes are of great importance to Iraq's wildlife, providing a source of fresh water and essential habitat in a region surrounded by deserts. Despite most of the marshes being destroyed, the region's wildlife managed to survive and is now making a remarkable comeback.
"They had hung on in small spots. When the water spread again, so did the birds," said Richard Porter, BirdLife International's Middle East Advisor. "It shows how resilient nature can be, and gives hope that other lost wetlands can be restored."
Water politics
Unfortunately, although many parts of the marshland have recovered, others have not. One of the main threats to the wetland is the region's water politics, with countries upstream of Iraq increasingly restricting the flows of the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers.
To counter this threat, Nature Iraq, the NGO which led the campaign for the designation of the national park, has persuaded the Iraq government to build an embankment to allow water to be diverted into the marshes in spring.
"Declaring a park isn't just a bit of paper," said Azzam Alwash, founder of Nature Iraq. "It will mean we can reserve a percentage of the water from the rivers for the marshes."
Long-term protection
A further threat to the marshes comes from Iraq's increasing urbanisation and development. The building of roads, infrastructure and water systems could all threaten the country's natural habitats if not properly regulated.
"I see areas that have been the same way for thousands of years being obstructed by roads. Development is encroaching into the wildlife's area and taking away habitats," said Alwash, adding that, "I want progress, but I don't want development to overtake the Iraqi tradition of living in harmony with nature."
Long-term protection of Iraq's marshes will depend on international agreements on water-sharing, as well as the availability of money, which could one day come from tourism.
The team who worked on establishing the new national park see it as just one step towards the protection of many of Iraq's other natural habitats. Next year, Alwash and his colleagues hope to establish four more parks across the country.
"This park is not a destination," he explained. "It's just a piece in the roadway to protecting Iraq's national and natural heritage."

Morgan's potential has Tournament 12 abuzz
TORONTO -- If Gareth Morgan makes good on his potential, there's no telling just how much upside Canada's top prospect has.
The 17-year-old, who just started Grade 12, has been labeled as the next big thing to come out of Canada since entering high school. Morgan, a Toronto native, is a baseball prodigy in Canadian circles and looks like a man among boys whenever he suits up against competition similar in age.
TORONTO -- If Gareth Morgan makes good on his potential, there's no telling just how much upside Canada's top prospect has.
The 17-year-old, who just started Grade 12, has been labeled as the next big thing to come out of Canada since entering high school. Morgan, a Toronto native, is a baseball prodigy in Canadian circles and looks like a man among boys whenever he suits up against competition similar in age.
At 6-foot-4, 215 pounds, Morgan's physical traits are imposing, and his abilities make talent observers dream of a future superstar in the making. While far from a finished product, Morgan -- who has been a member of the Canadian Junior National Team since he was 14 years old -- is said to have plus, plus power, a plus arm, plus defense and can run. He has all the tools scouts look for, drawing lofty comparisons to players such as Atlanta's Jason Heyward and Philadelphia's Domonic Brown.
Eligible for the 2014 First-Year Player Draft, it appears as if the sky's the limit.
"If Gareth puts together a spring, he'll be the first overall pick," said one coach familiar with the upcoming Draft class. "If he puts it together, and he has done it already -- we've seen it -- he's hitting balls into the upper tank and he's throwing the guy out from right field.
"It's scary. It's awe-inspiring."
When you talk about the best players from Canada who were drafted out of high school and went on to graduate to the professional ranks, names like Brett Lawrie, Adam Loewen and Michael Saunders start to surface. None of them, insists one coach closely involved in amateur baseball in Canada, had the ceiling of Morgan.
When he was 16 years old, Lawrie was considered a lock to one day make the Majors -- something he delivered on at 21 -- but Morgan is in a class all by himself. For one American League scout, Morgan has as much upside as any player out of high school he has seen.
"There aren't many people that have the physical ability that he has," the scout said. "That's what creates the ceiling and the interest. When the time comes to perform and he does perform, he has a chance to be very special."
People familiar with Morgan have many stories to share, like the time he went toe-to-toe with Vladimir Guerrero's nephew, Gabriel -- a Mariners farmhand -- at the Dominican Summer League Camp in May 2012. The duo exchanged homers, outfield assists and left many in attendance gushing over Morgan's ability.
Talent evaluators point to two areas in which Morgan needs to improve-- his ability to make contact and his level of confidence. One coach said Lawrie always believed he was the best player on the diamond, even during an off game, and that's an attitude Morgan needs to develop.
"His challenge right now is to come to the ballpark every day and take a look out on the field and say, 'That's the guy on the other side? I'm going to be better than him, because I'm the best player there is, period,'" the coach said.
"Morgan is a freak -- he's the whole package, and the power is sick. I think Gareth can hit 40 home runs, be a plus right fielder and play in All-Star Games. There is a risk, though, he might not make it -- but that's the ceiling. You don't see guys like that in Canada."
Greg Hamilton, the director of Baseball Canada's national teams, who knows Morgan nearly as well as anyone, said the hype surrounding him is warranted. Hamilton has played a pivotal role in the development of many of Canada's top young talent throughout the years and, in many respects, has never seen anyone like Morgan.
While the power potential appears to be the most talked about part of Morgan's game, Hamilton stresses that his defense makes him the complete package and his size is what separates him from many prospects around the world. Morgan is no slouch in the speed department, either, as his 6.7 60-yard dash time at the Tournament 12 showcase at Rogers Centre ranked among the top 10 fastest.
"The reward is huge," Hamilton said. "With Gareth, it doesn't matter who he plays for, he's the guy.
"I've never seen a Canadian right fielder that physically you don't have to project in high school. You don't have to project any physical aspects with Gareth Morgan."
At the recent 18U World Cup in September -- a tournament in which Canada was knocked out of medal contention by Japan -- Morgan, playing against many future Draft picks and star prospects, was said to be the most physically gifted player there by a long shot. He currently has the body of a professional player, and he will only continue getting stronger.
A month prior to that, Morgan became the first Canadian to play in the prestigious Perfect Game All-American Classic -- a showcase of the top high school players in North America -- at Petco Park in San Diego. He flashed big league power during batting practice, hitting multiple balls out at the pitcher-friendly park.
"[He's a] dominating right-field presence, and you don't see that in high school very often," Hamilton said.
Morgan said he used to not pay too much attention to the lofty expectations that have been placed on him since he entered high school. He knew the day would come where he would be entering his Draft year, but he tried to block it out and not concern himself with all the whispers and media attention he was receiving.
These past few months, however, have been difficult. Morgan knows wherever he plays, there will be many eyes on him from professional scouts to college recruiters. And depending on what he does, it could alter his stock in either direction.
"This is the biggest year, stress-wise," Morgan said. "The more you don't think about it, the less you really feel it, I guess. The less you think about it, the more you can be relaxed. Just be you on the field and play to your potential."
Whether or not a team makes Morgan a first-rounder, he's likely to be a high Draft pick and the first Canadian selected off the board in June.
"His physical ability is what puts him in that position," a scout for a Major League team said. "We can't teach that."

Lipscomb Lady Bisons basketball coach Frank Bennett isn't one to utter four-letter words, but he couldn't help himself.
"It was an ugly game," Bennett said of the Lady Bisons 51-44 loss to Gardner-Webb Thursday night in Atlantic Sun action at Allen Arena. "If we hadn't been fouling them at the end of the game neither team would have reached 50 points.
Bennett wasn't just referring to his Lady Bisons. He pointed to the fact that neither team reached 30 percent in shooting from the field. The Lady Bisons were 16-of-59 from field, 27.1 percent. Gardner-Webb hit only 17-of-58 tries, 29.3 percent.
"It was a very physical game," Bennett said. "I thought we got frustrated after awhile and it sort of took the wind out of our sails. Teams sometimes try to be real physical against us and hope it will be a good tactic.
"If we had limited their second shots in the second half we could have had a chance to win a 42-40 type game. Gardner-Webb is a very good defensive team. They have a hard time scoring. This was the type of game they want to play."
Both teams also struggled from beyond the arc. The Lady Bisons were 3-of-16, 18.8 percent. Gardner-Webb hit 3-of-12 for 25 percent.
"We didn't get many good looks from the outside," Bennett said. "They were locked into our shooters. I wish we had spread it out a little wider to open some lanes for passing to the post and for driving and back-cutting. When you have to work so hard for shots you are not in rhythm when you do get a good look."
The difference in the game was at the free throw line with Gardner-Webb connecting on 14-of-25 attempts, 56 percent. The Lady Bisons hit 9-of-15, 60 percent.
The Lady Bisons controlled most of the first half, taking a 21-20 lead in at intermission. In the second half Gardner-Webb used its physical play to take over, with their biggest lead at nine points (49-40) with 1:05 left to play.
Forward Rachel Davis led the Lady Bisons with a career-high and game-high 16 points.
"Rachel is the one player we have who can thrive in a physical game," Bennett said. "She has a combination of finesse and a power game. She took it to the basket strong.
"She is playing a lot of minutes. The improvement in her conditioning has been dramatic. When she is playing this well we would like to play her more minutes. Her focus is just night-and-day in the last four or five games over what is once was. She has really done a good job for us."
Also in double figures for the Lady Bisons was center Penny Jones with 10 points.
"It really hurt us that Penny got into foul trouble," Bennett said. "She got off to a good start in both halves, but she had to sit a lot."
Forward Jilian Partin led the Lady Bisons in rebounding with nine as they held a 48-45 edge over Gardner-Webb on the boards.
Three Gardner-Webb players finished in double figures, with two of them also recording double-doubles. Shameka Smith led with 14 points and a game-high 16 rebounds. Brittany Harmon, who also had seven blocked shots, finished with 10 points and 10 rebounds. Candyse Kelly added 12 points.
The Lady Bisons slipped to 6-9 in the conference, 8-17 overall. Gardner-Webb is 9-7 in the A-Sun, 12-15 overall.
The Lady Bisons close out the home portion of the season Saturday afternoon at 4 at Allen Arena with a visit from Campbell.
Saturday is also "Senior Day" with the Lady Bisons honoring Jones, Keirstin Head and Julie Martin.

Chestnut Hill College hoped to pull off an upset in last Wednesday night's women's soccer match against the defending champ in the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference, but over the first 50 minutes the host Griffins gave up three answered goals to visiting Georgian Court University.
CHC outscored the Lions 2-1 over the last 22 minutes, but the central New Jersey squad still made off with a 4-2 victory that dropped the Griffins' record below the .500 mark both in the CACC (1-2) and overall (3-4).
The local booters had been amped up to take on the reigning titleholders in the conference, but shortly before the contest Chestnut Hill's emotional edge was dulled when the club received the news that tri-captain Shannon Catts, a defensive mainstay, was out for the season with a knee injury. After going airborne for a head ball in an earlier game, the junior made a bad landing on her right leg and damaged the ACL and meniscus.
Georgian Court, which had surprised several higher seeds to win the CACC tournament in 2010, brought a 1-2 conference record to Chestnut Hill's Victory Field last week. The Griffins had a slim advantage in the shot column in the opening period, but came away empty while the Lions converted two of their attempts.
Amber Schlosser broke the ice for the visitors less than 10 minutes in. Although her squad logged a lot of ball possession throughout the remainder of the first half, it looked as though the Griffins would still be just one goal behind when the intermission arrived. In the final minute, the Lions staged a mass attack and from a crowd in front of the Griffins' goal Amanda Szewczyk put GCU up 2-0 heading into the huddle.
First-year CHC coach Sandy Dickson had seen her charges outscore their two previous opponents by a total of 10-2.
"We've been creating things up top, but today I thought we were a little indecisive in the back and we ended up letting in a few goals that probably shouldn't have gone in," she observed. "You can't do that against a quality team in your conference."
With Catts already sidelined by injury, Chestnut Hill had freshman midfielder Lauren Bjorke go down during Wednesday's match.
After Georgian Court came close to taking a 3-0 lead at the start of the second stanza, the Griffins came back up the field and senior forward Lauren Riiff launched an outside shot from the left that grazed the crossbar. The Lions got their third goal soon after that. An initial shot was blocked but Schlosser swooped in to knock the ball into the net with five-and-a-half minutes elapsed in the new half.
Chestnut Hill mounted a determined assault as the middle of the period approached. Sophomore forward Carly DiGiovanni had a near miss at the right post just after the clock dipped under 25 minutes left to play, and athen the Griffins got on the board at 22:58. On a restart out in the left side of the penalty area Steph Litty tapped the ball to fellow sophomore Kaelyn Pizarro, who blasted it past the GCU wall and into the right side of the cage.
Five minutes later the Lions had three-point lead once more, thanks to a looping corner by Farrell Pomponio. CHC netted the final goal of the evening with 13:19 showing, as Riiff carried the ball into the box from the left wing and nailed the far side of the net.
The Griffins repulsed a charge by the Lions with under five minutes to go, with a first GCU shot striking the crossbar and a follow-up ball getting turned away by Jessica Veazey, Chestnut Hill's junior goalie. She and Lions' keeper Shealyn Sullivan each finished with four saves.
We showed good fight and we played the full 90 minutes," remarked CHC's Dickson. "That's always a good thing in the long run, so I'm glad we built a little character in that department."

Did FBI Counterterrorism Agent Reveal That Feds Now Record All Phone Calls?
from the er...-what? dept
However, for the most part, it was believed that the content of phone calls was not included in this broad sweep. While it's well known that law enforcement can get a wiretap on your phone if they suspect something, there was little indication that other calls are being recorded. Similarly, information about who you called and when you spoke to them tends to be easy for law enforcement to get. However, Glenn Greenwald is noting that a former FBI counterterrorism agent, Tim Clemente, went on TV, and in discussing the investigation of Katherine Russell (the wife of deceased accused Boston bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev) has clearly said that the contents of historical phone calls are also available to the feds.
BURNETT: Tim, is there any way, obviously, there is a voice mail they can try to get the phone companies to give that up at this point. It's not a voice mail. It's just a conversation. There's no way they actually can find out what happened, right, unless she tells them?It's possible this was an exaggeration, but when questioned about this particular point later, Clemente again insisted that it was the case and specifically added that "all digital communications in the past" are recorded and stored. Of course, again, he may have misspoken. Or he may be exaggerating for effect. There's also the possibility that Tamerlan's phone calls were actually being tapped given the earlier investigation of him for possible terrorist connections.
CLEMENTE: "No, there is a way. We certainly have ways in national security investigations to find out exactly what was said in that conversation. It's not necessarily something that the FBI is going to want to present in court, but it may help lead the investigation and/or lead to questioning of her. We certainly can find that out.
BURNETT: "So they can actually get that? People are saying, look, that is incredible.
CLEMENTE: "No, welcome to America. All of that stuff is being captured as we speak whether we know it or like it or not."
So there are numerous possibilities here, but it is still a case of an FBI counterterrorism agent claiming, multiple times, that the contents of all phone calls are being recorded, which, if true, would be quite a revelation (and probably not something Clemente is supposed to be revealing via an interview with the media). At the very least, it would be good for there to be some serious follow up on this to find out how true Clemente's claims really are.
