Acknowledgements

The life stories in this booklet have been published with the kind permission of each individual featured. With the exception of Randall Baer's, who is now dead, and his publisher out of business.

These testimonies were compiled for the print edition of Dawn of The New Age published by Penfold Books.

The image on the front page was derived from a photo by Adm Scoo (click link to see original photo). The photo has a Creative Commons license, the details are below:

The image was gaussian blurred in PaintShop Pro 5 and text added on a transparent layer. The pink gradient was added in Gimp to make it fade into the page.

The red page background was made using a cloud texture generated in Blender 3D. Motion blur was then applied in Gimp. Then the Gimp Texturizer plugin was used to make a seemless pattern. The line diagrams in the conclusion section were produced in Inkscape a free vector drawing package.

The site was coded in the Notepad++ text editor. With a bit of help from Abi Word to view the original MS Word document and add initial tags to it (bold, italic and heading tags were added before text was copied and pasted into Notepad++). Thanks also to Tony Kerr who helped by marking up the text for the second and forth story.
