Many of you have asked me how to make new contacts to sell your products and services. As always, I have told you the very best way to meet new business contacts is to network, network, network. Of course we are excited about showing you 100’s of different ways to network every day to generate business leads, but now I am also very pleased to tell you about virtual versions of a referral network!

What you need to know about the new virtual referral groups:

A virtual network is like any other network or leads group, but we meet and communicate through the Internet instead of meeting at a restaurant for our meetings.

We use a revolutionary service called voice conference rooms that allow us to meet online, share our business web sites, live voice conversations and give and receive referrals. We can even record the meetings for members who cannot attend.

This system also gives you a reason to contact virtually every business in your city to make new contacts and new friends. I’ll explain more about that in a minute.

How to join our referral group:

Networking groups usually accept one representative from each zip code for respective business type - e.g. banker, car salesperson, financial consultant.

What virtual referral groups do:

We meet 1-3 times per week through our virtual office here on the Internet. Once in the room we learn about each other, our businesses, what type of leads we need for our business, and most importantly, we exchange leads with all the members.

Here are the specific steps each meeting will take.

1. Interested parties log into the community room that represents their zip code. The goal is to have one person present from every industry. For example, each group will have one accountant, one web site developer, one insurance agent, one tax advisor, one carpet sales company, etc. That way, we have up to 35 different businesses represented.

2. The meeting is called to order.

3. New members are introduced and welcomed.

4. An informal networking period allows member to “Mill about the room,” and meet the other members of the group for networking purposes. This lasts 10 minutes.

5. Each person takes a turn to stand up (takes control of the microphone and web browser) and talk about his/her business for 1-5 minutes. The speaker can show a power point presentation or even take all member to their web page to show off products or services or sign members up for a free newsletter or whatever.

6. New members have an opportunity to talk about their business, and what type of business referrals they desire for their business.

7. Each person gives their referrals to other members for the day.

8. A guest speaker talks about his topic of expertise. This could be his business or a presentation on how to increase business or other business related topics.

Again, presentations can be a voice presentation, a voice presentation with visits to web pages on the Internet, or even power point presentations.

9. A question and answer session about the virtual referral network is offered.

10. The next meeting is scheduled.

11. The meeting is adjourned until the next meeting is called.

What you need to participate:

- Access to the Internet.
- Speakers to listen to the meeting.
- A microphone to talk to the rest of the members.

Again, in addition to the convenience of meeting from your home or office computer, you will:

Save time.
Save gas to travel.
Save expense of a meal.
Save the tip for the meal at the meeting.
Be able to be as casual as you like. Best of all, because everyone saves the time of traveling, you can spend more time talking about your respective business, how to build more paying business for your businesses, and to make more referrals

My best business ideas to you,
John Davin

Attention Entrepreneurs! The following copywriting techniques will provide your company with the basic foundation for selling with words! How?? Creativity. Stressing Benefits. Knowing your audience.

Though the above paragraph may sound promotional, it is actually a rather simple example of a few common copywriting techniques mentioned under “Tricks of the Trade.”

Copywriting is focused on promotion of a business through a variety of methods and materials – in essence, it is sales on paper! It can be a rather frustrating concept to grasp in that it sometimes goes against the concept of structured writing. In advertising copywriting, longer and/or more structured sentences don’t necessarily catch the attention of the reader.

The following is a list of some of the more common advertising and public relations materials:

• Blogging & ezines
• Brochures
• Flyers
• Other promotional materials
• Website content
• Commercials
• Ads
• Direct mail campaigns
• Media releases
• Feature articles
• Newsletters

Media releases and articles are considered Public Relations as they are focused on getting your company information into local media for publication or news coverage. Newsletters, whether online or direct mail, are another great way to update your clients or customers with the latest industry news and important events. However, newsletters should not be utilized strictly as a promotional tool; though they can be used to advise your clientele of new products or services, it should be done in a more informative manner.

Tricks of the Trade:

• Short sentences – Catches the reader’s attention and gets to the point!
• Use of bullets - Definitive list of important selling points or products/services
• Testimonials – Provide credence to your product/service through rave reviews from past clients or consumers.
• Call to Action – “Contact us today!”
• Catchy headlines – “Announcing a Reward for Referrals: Seeking anti-aging and skin rejuvenation candidates”
• Questions – “Have your patients asked you questions about all of the latest anti-aging treatments & products?”
• Alliteration – “Reward for Referrals”, maintaining the same sound structure.

Critical Concept in Copywriting – (There is that Alliteration thing again). Features describe a product or service while benefits are the perks associated with the product or service.

In order to successfully promote a product or service, it is critical to communicate the benefits from purchasing a particular product. For example, a printer may have fax, scanning & copy capabilities; and while these are important features, this does not relay what the purchaser/consumer will get out of the product. Benefits would be saving money, convenience, ability to save documents to your PC, quality and speed (ok, I guess the last one depends on your printer).

When writing advertising copy, it is also important to understand your audience and their expectations in order to communicate benefits. For example, if you are selling to consumers interested in the latest anti-aging treatments and products, then focus on skin rejuvenation, quality of product, cost, treatment methods, positive aspects (radiant, younger looking skin or elimination of unsightly scars or veins).

There are numerous online resources available to assist the business owner in producing creative and quality material that sells. In addition, there are many great books including “The Copywriters Handbook – A Step by Step Guide to Writing that Sells” by Robert W. Bly and “The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Copywriter’s Words & Phrases” by Kathy Kleidermacher.

Write well and write to sell!

Early cameras of the 16th and 17th century were able to project images onto paper or glass but the study of capturing, processing and printing the images took many more years. Up until the 17th century, scientists believed that light was composed basically of the ‘white’ that is perceived by the human eye. It took the research done by famous physicist Isaac Newton to discover that light is actually composed of a spectrum of colors. While he made a big contribution to the study of optics (that is at the core of camera advances) with this discovery, Newton did not actually have anything to do with camera development per se.

The early camera that first became a phenomenon was a little more than a pinhole camera and can be traced back to 1558. It was called the Camera Obscura. The Camera Obscura was seen as a drawing tool for a clearer and realistic portrayal of objects. It was in the early 19th century that an invention named the Camera Lucida was introduced by Cambridge scientist William Hyde Wollaston that consisted of an optical device that could help an artist view a distant scene or person or object on a paper surface that he or she was using to draw. In other words the artist gets to view a superimposed image of a subject on paper and this image could be effectively used to attempt to draw, trace or paint it. Both the Camera Obscura and the Camera Lucida provided an image that was temporary, which could not be lastingly captured on to paper for later reference.

Studies however continued well into the 1800’s on how to actually capture the image onto material. It was during this time, around 1822 that French researcher Joseph Nicephore Niepce, created the first photograph by using paper that was coated with a chemical. The image would not stay permanently on the paper and would disappear after a short while. Even so, despite the short-lived nature of the image, the concept of photography was born with this experiment and paved the way for further study and development in this field.

Capturing images to retain them longer and permanently became the next big quest for researchers. Another Frenchman Louis-Jacques-Mandé Daguerre partnered with Joseph Nicéphore Niépce in 1829, to develop the process of creating permanent photographs. Joseph Niépce died in 1833 but Daguerre continued with the work and succeeded in 1837 after many long years of experimentation. The process of capturing photographic images that would not fade away, introduced by Daguerre came to be known as the ‘daguerreotype’.

The word ‘photography’ was coined by scientist Sir John F.W. Herschel in 1839 and it is actually is derived from two Greek words ‘photos’ meaning light and ‘graphein’ meaning draw.

A slightly more advanced version of the daguerreotype called the Calotype process that makes multiple copies possible using the negative and positive method became available very soon after. In fact, it was during the 1840’s that the use of photographic images in advertisements first started and cameras made their mark on the power of visual communication. It was not much later, in the 1850’s that photographers first started experimenting with underwater photography of seascapes.

Up until 1850, the process of capturing images was cumbersome requiring upto half an hour of light exposure. The discovery made in 1851 by Frederick Scott Archer was a blessing since the new method termed the Collodion process called for just 2-3 seconds of light exposure to capture an image.

Prior to 1871, photographers went through a development process where they had to coat the plate with wet chemical each and every time and process the image immediately. With the invention the gelatin dry plate silver bromide process by Richard Leach Maddox, negatives did not have to be developed immediately. This was an important discovery since up until then the captured image had to be processed instantly.

Kodak created in 1888 by George Eastman has been a modern day pioneer of sorts in cameras and photography for the masses. George Eastman and the scientists who worked with him at Kodak developed the photographic film in 1889 and made it available in rolls for the mass use of consumers. An important milestone in our entertainment and communication history was the development of transparent roll film by Eastman. This development led to another key invention – the motion picture camera by Thomas Edison’s in 1891.

–>Modern Times

During the 20th century the pace of technology development in cameras and photography continued at an accelerated pace much like many other key technology developments. While several key inventions like car, telephone and the gramophone record happened in the later half of the 19th century, it is the last 100 years that saw major developmental work in many areas of communications technology and as well as in other fields – TV, aircrafts, PCs, digital technology, digital cameras, mobile phones, fax machines and the internet, to name a few.

In the case of the camera, the developments simplified the whole process of photography, making it accessible to one and all at affordable prices and the camera industry denizens of our times made it into a mass phenomenon. The first mass use camera became available at the turn of the 20th century and can be traced back to the year 1900. There are hundreds of models of cameras available today both for the amateur as well as the professional and the camera is an important part of any family’s repertoire of must have gadgets.

–>20th century chronology in the history of the camera:

1913: 35 mm still-camera created

1927: The flash bulb introduced by General Electric Co. (The concept of camera flash existed much before but was based on the use of a flash light powder that was invented by German researchers)

1935- 1941: Kodak starts marketing Kodachrome film and subsequently launches Kodacolor negative film. Canon released the Hansa Canon in 1936, the first 35mm focal-plane shutter camera.

1948: The concept of the Polaroid camera is introduced in the market. American scientist Edwin Land developed the process for instant photography. Later Polaroid Corporation developed the ‘instant color’ film around 1963.

1957: Frenchman Jaques Yves Cousteau invented the first waterproof 35mm camera for underwater photography named the Calypso Phot. The actual camera was developed by the Belgian airplane technical designer Jean de Wouters based on the blueprint and suggestions given to him by Cousteau.

1972: The electronic camera that does not require film was created and patented by Texas Instruments. This is however not the same as a digital camera though you don’t require film in digital cameras as well. The launch of the digital camera is still many years away.

1975: Kodak’s experiments with digital imaging kicked off around the mid seventies but it will take another 20 years before a digital camera for the home consumer market is launched.

1978 – 1980: Asian players like Konica and Sony begin to make their mark. The ‘point and shoot’ automatic focus camera is launched by Konica while Sony starts talking about the camcorder and demonstrates a prototype.

1981: Sony launches a commercially available electronic still camera. Similar to the 1972 invention by Texas Instruments, the Sony electronic camera came with a mini disc on which images were recorded and stored. The recorded images could be later printed or viewed on a monitor using a reader device.

1985: Digital processing technology makes its entry. Digital imaging and processing is introduced by Pixar.

1986: The camera industry becomes even more consumer focused and taps the fun and travel connotations behind camera usage, with the launch of the concept of the disposable single use cameras. Fuji is credited with the development of this concept.

Also in 1986 - 1987, Kodak started taking giant strides in digital development. Digital means, the photographic image is divided into tiny units of dots or squares known as pixels. Pixels are the programmable units of an image that can be processed by computers. Each image could be made up of millions of pixels. The use of pixels in digital technology allows storing large volumes of pixels to deliver high definition print quality.

1990: Kodak introduces Photo CD’s. It is a system of storing photographic images on CD and then viewing them on a computer. With this development the user-friendly approach of the camera industry began to take concrete shape.

1991: Kodak introduces a digital camera targeted at professionals and journalists. Kodak is credited with the invention of a pixel based camera technology known to us as the digital camera. Digital cameras don’t use film similar to their predecessor electronic cameras but the storage method is entirely different and the final photograph is of much higher resolution. In a digital camera photos are recorded and stored in digital form. This digital data can be transferred to a computer and processed for printing. Kodak and Canon are well known digital camera manufacturers and there are also several other key brands as well.

1994: The Apple QuickTake camera, a home use digital camera is launched. This is followed by the launch of a clutch of home use digital cameras by Casio, Kodak and others in quick succession during 1995 -’96.

–>The digital era:

The development of digital camera technology is considered to be linked to the development of TV and Video technology. The principles of transmission and recording of audio-visual images using digital electrical impulses finds use in camera imaging as well.

Through the 1990’s the developments continued in camera technology, the focus now shifting to the field of digital imaging which is where the future lies. Use-friendly features like software that can download digital images directly from camera onto home computers for storing and sharing on the internet is the new norm in the market place.

The camera, the computer, the software industry and the worldwide web are today irrevocably interlinked to empower the user in experiencing the benefits of camera usage to full potential. The innovation that sparked many an invention in the camera industry found its way into the digital world as well and continued among digital camera manufacturers. During 2001, the Kodak and Microsoft partnership ensured that digital camera manufacturers could use the power of Picture Transfer Protocol (PTP) standard through Windows. The digital photo experience is a key visual driver in the Internet era. Many of Kodak digital camera models with EasyShare capabilities are compatible with Windows XP. The Kodak EasyShare software enables users to transfer digital camera pictures directly from camera to their computers and then print the pictures or even email them.

Manufacturers in a related industry like the printing industry have adapted their products to be in sync with the images created by digital cameras. Cell phone manufacturers have tied up with digital camera manufacturers to develop new age camera phones in recent years. These camera phones can capture images and share the images through the cell phone.

Among the 21st century digital developments are the advanced product offerings from digital cameras manufacturers and these are sure to occupy an important place in the ensuing history of camera development. For instance, the Kodak Professional DCS Pro SLR/c is a high-end digital camera and the Kodak website calls the DCS Pro SLR models the most feature-rich digital cameras on the market. It has an image sensor that can handle 13.89 million pixels and this makes it the highest resolution digital camera available. High resolution determines the sharpness or level of detail in photographic images. This is just a glimpse of the capabilities that digital technology places in a user’s hands. Digital camera sales figures for 2003 show that the two key players Kodak and Canon have recorded impressive growth.

–>What does the future holds for camera users?

The features offered by digital cameras can be quite mind-boggling for the average user and pretty exciting for most pros. Four key ongoing camera developments that are likely to further improve the process of photography:

1. Greater resolution from even the simplest, low cost camera models

2. Usage in any type of lighting conditions,

3. Compatibility across a range of software, hardware and image types

4. Rich colors and tone

While the higher-end digital evolution continues, the prices of the simple camera have crashed to such an extent that even children and teens are proud owners of uncomplicated cameras. The camera and photography interest starts young and this creates a truly large audience base for the camera industry.

And throughout history, it is evident that the endeavor of researchers and developers has been to make the camera available to a wide section of society. Without camera technology and photography, the other key developments of cinema and TV would have been delayed and what a boring place the world would have been without TV and films!!

Writing down our thoughts and feelings, as in keeping a journal or diary, is a proven method to relieve stress and improve well being. The expression achieved through writing in a journal on a regular basis, or during times of high stress, helps to clarify and focus what we are actually feeling and experiencing. Putting down on paper what we are frustrated about, worried and concerned with, helps us to begin to understand in a clearer, more concise manner, what we are going through. That understanding can help us to realize what actions we can then take to work through the stress.

Journaling on a regular basis about daily events, joys, and struggles alike, can actually help us to face our day, and solve our problems with less stress. When we record our days on paper, or on the computer, we are processing our feelings, fears and joys, as we are writing.

To help with the stress in our days we can create a routine and journaling system for ourselves. Ask yourself a daily morning question upon rising. This becomes a check into the day question, and writing the answer down, can be a great way to focus the day. For Example - “What am I going to do today that will support just me?” Or - “What am I going to do today at my work, (or with friends, or family), that is different than I have done before?” Another idea - “What one thing do I want to accomplish today that I have not had time to do?” We can ask the same question each day, or ask a new question.

We can also create a journal to record what we need to keep doing, stop doing, do less of, or more of. For example - “I need to stop playing old broken records from my past that no longer apply and no longer serve me. I am enough. I do not have to live in fear. We can journal on that topic alone, until it feels finished.”

Another journaling idea is to define what is causing the stress: Whatever or whomever.

For example - “Bob really bugs me when he misses deadlines.”
Or - “I never have enough time to fit it all in, family, friends, work, fun.”
Or - “I am in way over my head on this project.”

Next in your journal write about and define the why.
“When Bob misses deadlines it makes me look bad. I can’t enjoy my weekends when Bob has a project due on Monday, because I keep worrying Bob won’t come through.”

Then ask why again to those answers, and write them down.
“I hate to look bad in front of my peers. It is embarrassing to me. I don’t like to be embarrassed. I don’t need/deserve that.”

Then ask why again. Keep writing, then asking why to those answers. What can be found is the real reason(s) for the stress. After the reason(s) are revealed then processing the root of the stress is easier to address. Then journal about those feelings.

Journaling is something we can all give to ourselves. Find a quiet time in the day, and a quiet place to journal. Set the journal where you will see it every day. Using a notebook, a blank book, a favorite journal, or a computer, any of these all serve as outlets for expression of stress. Through journaling we use that outlet of expression to help us see, process and
understand our stress. Through journaling the toll stress takes can be reduced or eliminated.

It goes without saying that there are risks when it comes to camping in bear country.

In fact, on 14 April 2006 this risk became a tragic fact of life when a 6 year old girl received fatal injuries from a black bear while camping.

Campgrounds are now having to incorporate policies and procedures to ensure bear conservation and safety for campers. The DEC Campgrounds in the Adirondack and Catskill Forest Preserves in New York State are two such campgrounds. Their staff have developed specific policies and procedures to minimize the occurrence of bear problems at their campgrounds while maintaining a healthy, natural black bear population.

There are ten critical ways that you can minimise the chances of getting hurt by bears by following these simple tips:

1. Avoid traditional bear feeding areas.

2. Avoid camp locations where bears have been known to roam in the past.

3. Avoid camping where you may have trouble seeing a bear through vegetation.

4. Avoid camping where you see bear droppings and fresh tracks.

5. Never feed wild bears.

6. Store your food in a cooler which is locked in the car

7. Like most animals, bears are attracted to garbage so make sure your campsite is very clean

8. Remember that behind every cute baby bear is a very overprotective bear mother!

9. Stop fishing when bears are present. They want your fish more than you do.

10. The minimum safe distance from a bear is 50-100 yards.

There are now a number of organizations that are working passionately on increasing bear awareness in the community. The National Spokesman of The National Be Bear Aware & Wildlife Stewardship Campaign, General H Norman Schwarzkopf, is dedicated to providing teachers, college students, youth groups and guiding/hunting groups with educational materials and training programs to teach outdoor enthusiasts and residents up to date safety skills and techniques for camping, hunting, viewing, hiking, photographing and living with wildlife like bears safely and responsibly. More information is available at the Campaign’s website at http://www.bebearawaresw.org.

Along a similar vein, The ‘Bear Safe Washington’ program began in 1999 with funding from the World Society for the Protection of Animals. This program of presentations, brochures and seminars was designed to raise awareness of all bear issues in Washington State. Its bear safe guide can be downloaded at http://www.insightwildlife.com/bearsafe.htm

The Get Bear Smart Society based in Whistler, Canada, educates people on dealing with bears in the community and promoting innovative bear management practices. Supporters can make donations by visiting their website at http://www.bearsmart.com.

Perception in Communication

In living our lives and communicating with each other our
perception of reality is less important than reality itself.
Some would argue that there IS no ultimate reality, only the
illusion of our perceptions.

Our perceptions are influenced by:

1. physical elements — what information your eye or ear can
actually take in, how your brain processes it.

2. environmental elements — what information is out there to
receive, its context.

3. learned elements — culture, personality, habit: what filters
we use to select what we take in and how we react to it.

For example, colour blind people will not perceive “red” the
way as other people do. Those with normal vision may physically
see “red” similarly, but will interpret it culturally:

* red meaning “stop” or “anger” or “excitement” or “in debt”
(US)

* red meaning “good fortune” (China) * red meaning your school’s
colours

Selective Attention

The world deluges us with sensory information every second. Our
mind produces interpretations and models and perceptions a mile
a minute. To survive, we have to select what information we
attend to and what we remember.

Information that attracts our attention

* Sends out strong physical stimulus: contrast, blinking,
loudness, etc.

* Elicits emotion — TV dramas, memory aid: when taking notes on
an article, write your emotional response to it

* Is unexpected? (This may draw your attention or conversely,
you may miss it entirely with your mind filling in the missing
pieces you expected to receive.)

* Fits a pattern

* Previous knowledge that gives it context * Interests you

* Connects to basic needs (belonging, sex, danger, hunger…) *
Is useful.

Note how important your cultural filters will be in determining
the answers to these questions–what hooks your emotions? What
is “normal” and what is “unexpected”, etc.

Pattern of Ripples

Picture within your mind an imaginary pool of water. Visualize a stone thrown
into the water and see the waves of concentric circles that emulate from its point of
contact. Watch the ripples as one after another emerges into the next ripple and
the next, till the pattern of ripples disappear.

This imaginary scene embodies an essence of reality in life. It contains the
Universal Law of Cause and Effect which permeates the World we live in and extends
into our personal lives. Knowingly or unknowingly the cause and effect of each days
passing presents an observable pattern of ripples. The pattern of ripples emerge
and ultimately reflect upon our total being. The inner being of our spirit, soul, and
mind and our outward being wherein we manifest our human life. Justifiably, we
each exhibit therein our own free will and produce accordingly, ripple after ripple;
bearing the responsibility of our own ripples which proceed from us and go onward.
With our free will in thoughts and actions evolves the ripples of cause and effect
that becomes our personalized realities. These personal signatures encapsulated in
such ripples ultimately diverge into the ever increasing pattern of ripples that
surround our human existence.

It is stated that it takes seven continuos days of repetition to form habits (to
ones liking or disliking) and usually twice as long to break them. This form of cause
and effect is being played out subconsciously and consciously everyday thru the
working of our free will. Our personalized free will exercised in our thinking, our
emotions, and our actions. Such free will is a wonderful tool when used in harmony
within the spirit, soul, and natural body; but becomes a destructive tool when it is
out of harmony with the spirit, soul, or natural body. The cause and effect of its
harmony or disharmony is evident as it appears in ripples represented in the
patterns of our reality within our personal lives. Most assuredly, like a stone thrown
into a pool of water, our coarse and destiny is altered, ripple after ripple, as we
sojourn on.

Living today in the 21st Century carries its own inherent and numerous patterns
of ripples. It does not matter which continent, nation, or country inhabited there
are the pattern of ripples in cause and effect which incorporate into each human
beings metaphysical existence. Even with all the cultural and genetic
diversifications humanity is also subject to the compiled century’s profile within the
Universal Law of Cause and Effect. Good, bad, or indifferent these patterns of
ripples non discriminately assimilate and infiltrate the psyche of the populations as
each generation passes on its legacy.

Assuredly our Creator of the Universe, YaHWeH, has provided this Universal Law
of Cause and Effect as a perpetual roadmap in our history and a compass within our
reality. The trajectory pattern of ripples that spans the ages has projected a distinct
coarse that adheres Mankind. For within this great Cosmos the pattern of ripples
sent forth from the very beginning have ordered space and time in a continuum
explicit to the Infinite Mind of our Creator. The cause and effect to be known to
each living soul as it kinetically strives to master its unknown territories of mind,
soul, and spirit. For the pattern of ripples from the eternal heartbeat of our Creator
fills the expanse of our Earthly discoveries and inspires us onward in our Spiritual
quests.

The Universal Law of Cause and Effect ushers Mankind in a propelling force of
patterns of ripples that sweeps thru each living soul; perhaps as a tidal wave one
moment only to be a trifle splash the next moment. To remember in consideration
our own pattern of ripples as we discover the effects we have upon our
surroundings; and the effect the pattern of ripples from our surroundings has upon
us in turn, is a challenge to say the least. The totality of our life is bound in certain
areas in such cause and effect, only to be loosed in others of cause and effect as we
pass from year to year.

As the Light and Truth of YaHWeH (God) is introduced into our lives thru
patterns of ripples we find ever increasing ripples that accentuate our personal
lives as well as the lives that surround us. Sometimes to the natural eye there is
little proof of this Universal Law workings till a dramatic wave rebounds and we are
are able to actually witness its cause and effect. And even then it remains allusive,
for it truly is born of the Spirit of YaHWeH and can not be contained or copied. To
say we can manipulate the Universal Law of Cause and Effect is presumptuous; but
we can manage portions of it within our own personal lives as we continue to
progressively understand and a tune ourselves to its experience. For we each begin
to serve our purpose in cause and effect as well as the cause and effect always
serves its purpose in us. Patterns of ripples from each one of us constantly adding
and detracting, converging and diverging, all simultaneously as the originator of
the first pattern of ripples caused them to be.

Bequeathed to You This Day a Passage in Life’s Way A Ripple
to be Formed A Portrait to be Borne Tis Truth in Law a Cause and Effect to be
Known Holds Eternity Suspended and Reality Adorned
