The real "sexual revolution" took place in the early Church, and the one people talk about in the sixties was just an attempt to undo it. Many people who have rediscovered the restoration of the beauty and integrity of the human person are converts to the Catholic Faith, and a number of them (130 to be precise) have delivered what I think is by far the most gracious, balanced and respectful letter voicing the concerns of the Catholic faithful with regard to the Synod on the Family. Excerpt:
With respect to the bewildering diversity of contemporary opinions about the human good, especially where questions about the human body are concerned, we understood that the radical nature of the Christian claim − that God, the Son, had taken up all flesh into Himself − was at stake. Christ "revealed man to himself" (Gaudium et Spes 22). He thereby "made clear" the meaning of our humanity – and with it the meaning of the body, of sexual difference, of sexuality, marriage and the family. He did this, for example, when the Pharisees asked him about divorce, and he turned them (and his own disciples) back to "the beginning," to human nature as it was created. What is more, he brought something new to that same humanity, bestowing on it, mercifully, a share in His own fidelity to the Church. It was not by accident, then, that early Christians were drawn to the Church through the radiant humanity of His followers, manifest, for example, in their unique attitudes toward women, children, human sexuality, and marriage. And it was not by accident that, for the same reasons, we too were drawn to the Church many centuries later.
We are keenly aware of the difficult pastoral situations that you will be confronting at the Synod, especially those concerning divorced Catholics. We also share something of the burden you carry in confronting them. Some of us have experienced the pain of divorce in our own lives; and virtually all of us have friends or close relatives who have been so afflicted. We are therefore grateful that attention is being paid to a problem that causes such grievous harm to husbands and wives, their children, and indeed the culture at large.
We are writing you, however, because of our concerns about certain proposals to change the church's discipline regarding communion for Catholics who are divorced and civilly re-married. We are frankly surprised by the opinion of some who are proposing a "way of penance" that would tolerate what the Church has never allowed. In our judgment such proposals fail to do justice to the irrevocability of the marriage bond, either by writing off the "first" marriage as if it were somehow "dead," or, worse, by recognizing its continued existence but then doing violence to it. We do not see how these proposals can do anything other than contradict the Christian doctrine of marriage itself. But we also fail to see how such innovations can be, as they claim, either pastoral or merciful. However well meaning, pastoral responses that do not respect the truth of things can only aggravate the very suffering that they seek to alleviate. We cannot help but think of the abandoned spouses and their children. Thinking of the next generation, how can such changes possibly foster in young people an appreciation of the beauty of the insolubility of marriage?
"Today, there are those who say that marriage is out of fashion….They say that it is not worth making a life-long commitment, making a definitive decision, 'forever,' because we do not know what tomorrow will bring. I ask you, instead, to be revolutionaries, I ask you to swim against the time; yes, I am asking you to rebel against this culture that sees everything as temporary and that ultimately believes you are incapable of responsibility, that believes you are incapable of true love." - World Youth Day, 2013

I liked this article on the Synod on the Family from CNN. It's short and to the point. Here's a cliff notes summary:
1. Will the church change its position on same-sex marriage?
2. Will the church change its teaching on birth control or abortion?
3. What about euthanasia?
4. So will this meeting change anything at all?
5. If the synod does recommend any changes, when will they take effect?
It's hard to say.

Hopefully Pauli will indulge me in this little exploration of one of the weirder things I've run across recently and not, believe it or not, said or instigated by Rod Dreher.
No, I'm talking about Disqus' increasingly dreaded Terminator "Detected As Spam" filter.
I actually tried Disqus myself some months ago before just throwing in the towel, thinking, well, maybe it's just my pugnacious writing style (I know, I'm probably being way too hard on myself). But when I started asking around, I was surprised to find, at least in my circle of friends and acquaintances, that I was in the majority, not the minority, including a few who ran their own Web sites and had previously tried to use Disqus as a comment manager.
The main thing that infuriated both ordinary commenters and Webmasters who utilized Disqus alike was its crazy positive feedback learning algorithm (don't ask me what that means). In other words, it uses its own automatically marking someone's comment as spam as a rule that reinforces its automatically marking someone's next comment as spam as a rule that reinforces its automatically marking someone's next comment as spam as a rule that reinforces... You get the idea. Those acquaintances who ran their own little sites finally had to kill the Disqus beast because it was costing them viewers irritated at their treatment, not to mention the time wasted digging into their logs to un-spam Disqus victims.
Disqus actually has a page where its victims can petition for relief, but, as one might expect, it reads like an early draft of Ken Kesey's One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest or Joseph Heller's Catch-22, mainly because Disqus uses its filter on that page, too, which means, yes, you guessed it, penitents wishing to be absolved of their spamnation so as to avoid further spamnation only find their petitions marked as spam, thus - yes, furthering their spamnation.
Overall, this process is not unlike dealing with too large a population of medical patients by giving everyone something marginally lethal in order to reduce the problem to manageable proportions.
Am I just running with the wrong crowd? Or have you or your friends had a run-in with Disqus, too?
Thank God for Pauli using Google, who in its severest moments only asks if one is a robot.

And now they have bells at St. Agnes-Our Lady of Fatima parish in the Hough neighborhood. Good news for a place which has historically appreciated every bit of good news it can get.
The $2.5 million dollar construction project introduces a new church building to the redeveloping area.
The bells, like many of the items being used in the new construction, are re-purposed items from nearby churches which have closed. The bells had been in the tower at Holy Trinity-St. Edward parish on Woodland at east 72nd Street which closed in 2004.
SA-OLF-bell-work-DSC02313_500The new 350 seat sanctuary is scheduled for dedication on Wednesday, November 25th, the day before Thanksgiving. The worship space was much-needed as the parish has continued to grow in recent years as the neighborhood also has seen new life.

Latest news, analysis and links on UW football, basketball and other sports
Blown coverage lets Buckeyes off the hook
Detroit - I arrived at the Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport a few minutes ago and finally had an opportunity to see a replay of Braxton Miller's 40-yard touchdown pass to Devin Smith in the Buckeyes' 33-29 victory over Wisconsin.
EDIT: We will have a full story on the play posted later. I was able to talk to Chris Ash and Charlie Partridge before practice Sunday.
Although cornerback Marcus Cromartie was the closest defender to Smith when the ball arrived in the end zone, it appears strong safety Shelton Johnson should have been in the area to deny a deep throw.
At the snap, Johnson was the safety on the right side of the UW formation, on the hash opposite of where Miller would eventually scramble. He was lined up at the UW 32 and retreated to the 21 as the play developed but then inexplicably drifted across the field toward the UW sideline as Miller scrambled in that direction.
That vacated the deep zone and left Cromartie as the only defender in the area.
According to UW free safety Aaron Henry, the Badgers were in "quarters" coverage, with four defensive backs spread across the field. They were, from left to right of the UW formation, cornerback Antonio Fenelus, Henry, Johnson and Cromartie.
But by the time Miller released the ball from just in front of the UW sideline, Johnson had drifted over to that hash and had moved up to the 24-yard line.
He was in no position to make a play on any deep throw.Cromartie was on the far hash, at about the 18, when he began sprinting toward Smith in the end zone.
I hope to talk to defensive coordinator Chris Ash later Sunday before practice to go over the details but it appears that is how a wide receiver gets wide open in the end zone for the game-winning score.

Live updates: Israeli-Palestinian violence
Inside the hidden world of hostage taking
14 Mar 2013 01:38 GMT | Politics, Middle East, US & Canada, Israel, United States
A compromise has been reached towards a final coalition deal in Israel after the newly formed centrist Yesh Atid party reportedly agreed to give up demands for the interior ministry, local media have reported.The new coalition government, to be headed by Binyamin Netanyahu, the leader of conservative Likud party, is likely to be sworn in after Wednesday's deal with the Yesh Atid leader Yair Lapid.
However, it was not immediately clear when the new government would be sworn in.Netanyahu, the current prime minister of Israel, has been locked in intensive coalition talks ahead of a March 16 deadline to announce the shape of his new government, which must have a working majority of at least 61 within the 120-seat parliament.
The reports of the deal comes just days before an official visit by Barack Obama, the US president.
According to Israeli media, Netanyahu agreed that the Yesh Atid party, which did well in the elections, could take the education portfolio, while the interior ministry would go to his Likud party.Only one party has agreed to join the coalition so far.Al Jazeera's Nicole Johnston, reporting from Jerusalem, said an interesting aspect of the government formation is that the ultra-orthodox parties were left out of the coalition government.
"It's only the second time in 30 years that they have been left out. And this would change the face of Israeli politics," Johnston said.

Don't Advertise What You Do, But What Your Client Receives
By Cary Bayer
Last year, I was teaching a series of classes in our nation's capital and, wanting to get some fresh fruit for a post-seminar snack, I went into a giant grocery store in Silver Spring, Maryland.Unlike just about every other supermarket and retail outlet that I've ever walked through throughout this vast nation of ours, it surprisingly did not have a customer relations department. But don't be shocked. That's because this giant had already awakened its own inner giant: it had a Solutions Center. The difference is quite palpable. Customer relations is what stores offer; solutions are what customers desire. Going into a store that sports its own department for solving your problems is a fresh breeze that would make anyone a loyal and devoted customer.
As a business coach for massage therapists and alternative healers, I often tell such practitioners that they can benefit immeasurably from this significant distinction when it comes to preparing advertising for their services, developing the proverbial 30-second elevator speech, and learning how to effectively talk about what they do. When I teach throughout the country, I come across dozens of different wellness magazines. As I peruse these (usually) monthly publications, I see ads from many therapists and virtually every single one of these, with rare exceptions, are usually just business cards plunked down in the publication. Each of these "so-called" ads makes the same basic mistake, and makes it in a big way.
I say "so-called" ad because it's not an ad at all, but a business card. What these messages do is communicate to a reader what the therapist will do for him, rather than what the prospective client will receive from the therapist. Advertising in this way is a huge missed opportunity for therapists and a big waste of the money they work so hard to get. What most alternative healers need to understand is that most of the people who could possibly find their way to their couches, tables and offices wouldn't recognize their shadow or their own myofacial if it hit them in the head.
Therapists would benefit enormously by realizing they'll be far more successful if they engage in technical shop talk only with other therapists, but use plain and simple English to clients and prospective clients. This holds true whether the healer is communicating through an ad, newsletter, brochure, website, or in an elevator, at a party, or in line at Starbucks. It's one thing to talk modality to other healers at a continuing education training or state convention; it's quite another thing to talk that way to a layman in physical or emotional pain who is simply looking for much-needed relief. To paraphrase the old acronym: Keep it Simple Therapist (KIST).
I'm not saying there's no value in discussing what you do and the technical aspect of the modalities you practice. They serve the valuable function of providing rationale for the rational side of your prospective client's nature. It intelligently explains the value of your work when telling potential clients the benefits they can receive. It speaks to the left side of their brains.
Commercials for wise marketers do this on television, on radio and in movie theaters. Print ads for savvy businesses do this in magazines and newspapers. A car spot, for example, might describe rack and pinion steering, anti-lock brakes and deployment of airbags. This explains how and why if you buy that vehicle, you can rest assured that your kids will be safe. The best of these commercials will analyze the features of the car but they'll demonstrate safe braking on icy roads, keeping your little ones safe. This speaks to the right side of your brain and your feelings.
A commercial for a vacation in Israel, for example, will show images of historic synagogues, churches and mosques for Jewish, Christian and Muslim viewers. It will provide the feeling of ancient peace in the Holy Land. This reaches your heart and the right side of your brain. If the creative team at the ad agency is smart, they'll also convince the left side of your brain that increased security and anti-terrorism forces will make you feel safe while you're there.
If you meet me at a party, a continuing education training, or your state convention and you ask me what I happen to do, I won't tell you that I'm a life coach. This is despite the fact that this is clearly what my business card says that I do professionally. Instead, I'll tell you that I regularly help people create breakthroughs in their finances, in their businesses, in their relationships and in their spiritual lives. I'll tell you that I have privately helped more than 150 different massage therapists and dozens of other alternative healers create breakthroughs in their business and their personal lives. In other words, what you'll hear me do is describe the results that someone can expect by working regularly with me. If you don't think this gets people's attention far more quickly and persuasively than falling into the trap of saying the type of service you provide, then you haven't been paying close attention to how people listen. Very few people care what you do while you're going into your description. They're far too busy listening for what benefits they can receive from you.
So, if I happen to meet you at that party or convention, and I ask you what you do, you don't have to say that you're a massage therapist. You could tell me that you give people the beautiful feeling of well-being. Or you could tell me that you relieve pain from people's bodies and souls. And if my feet are killing me from teaching all day or I'm feeling some other pains in my body, you can bet your sweet myofacial, if you're a massage therapist, that you'll have gotten my attention in a proverbial New York minute.

If you have ever felt the need to search across Gmail, Google Docs and Sites, then the "Apps Search" lab announced today is exactly what you have been waiting for. The
new Labs feature makes it possible for the user to search across email, docs and Google sites from the "Search Mail" button in Gmail.
The new feature can be enabled from under the Labs tab under Gmail settings.
But Premiere and Education Edition users will have to first ensure that their domain administrator has enabled Google Labs from the Google Apps control panel. "Once the lab is enabled, the "Search Mail" button in Gmail will say 'Search Mail and Docs' instead. When you run a search in Gmail, your search results will include matching documents and sites in addition to results from your email," Google said in a blog post.

Obamacare is not "FREE" health care
People have finally realized that the word "free" is nowhere to be found in Obamacare's " Affordable Health Care Act". Coverage under President Barack Obama's health care law won't be cheap. A study released Thursday by the nonprofit Kaiser Family Foundation found that government tax credits would lower the sticker price on a benchmark "silver" policy to a little over $190 a month for single people making about $29,000, regardless of their age. For uninsured people who are paying nothing today, this is still a big cost that they're expected to fit into their budgets.

AND YES I will take my money back if I ever get the chance, it was forcibly taken from me and taking it back doesn't mean I support the idea. Its like getting your own stolen property back from the police doesn't mean you support theft,

all the while the socialist left well bleat like sheep about the GREED of the insurance companies, NOT the unfunded mandates the Govt has imposed on private business. AHHHHH socialism, such a great idea they have to force us to participate.

Kunnec the truth is this isn't SUPPOSED to work, its a well known fact that this system was designed to crash and bring on what they have always wanted, single payer Govt controlled healthcare, ask the VETS how well that works.

BERIGHT should it surprise anyone that those that cannot afford the premiums cannot afford the huge deductible? That's liberal logic and "intention" deficit disorder at its best
Posted 130 days ago.
Ever considered the possible ulterior motives of ObamaCare? By this I mean even going beyond the "redistribution of wealth" theory for it's creation.
How about if it's already known, by some upper levels of power and influence, that we stand on the cusp of major disease elimination and revolutionary means of life extension? Muffy, Biff and the twins might have to share the world's beaches and a diminishing world food supply with more and more Joe ******** and his brats.
The well-heeled snobs can't have that and one way to prevent it is by having the government (which always answers to Muffy and Biff) takeover the healthcare system.
Ironically, Muffy and Biff had their bought-and-paid-for representative in the WH and the gang of crooks with which he surrounds himself, convince Joe ******* to demand, by voting, that such a system be brought to fruition.
Be careful what you wish for! They may kill you with it.

A recent study from the Commonwealth Fund found that more people with health insurance still can't afford to seek treatment—mainly because they're enrolled in higher deductible policies.
According to the study, about 23 percent of Americans with coverage are considered underinsured—up from 12 percent in 2003. That means roughly 31 million Americans who bought health insurance still have trouble affording treatment under their policies.

Health insurance premiums for plans sold on Obamacare's health exchanges are about to get higher next year, according to a glimpse of rate proposals—some with double-digit increases—that the White House made public this week. Under the Affordable Care Act, insurers are required to make public any rate proposals that increase by at least 10 percent on the federal government's website. Though premium rates vary significantly depending on the region, major carriers including UnitedHealthcare, Athena and Blue Cross Blue Shield have proposed rate increases for next year between 10 and 30 percent in a handful of states.
Some are even higher. For example, Blue Cross Blue Shield in Alabama proposes to raise its platinum plan (the highest tiered plan) by 71 percent next year. Obamacare has already taken heat for not yet making coverage more affordable.

They are souring under their own lack of merit and forethought. Perhaps if your side would listen in the first place instead of posturing, promising and then under delivering, your programs would stand a chance of working...so far it hasn't without casualties of those you claim to champion.
Posted 175 days ago.
But why are they "souring" ? Could it be the constant sabotage from the party of obstruction ? Maybe if your side would help and not hinder we would have something to be proud of !

I sat in the lobby on the wifi while Darren and Chris went out to find some coke and water, then the three of us went up to our room where we had a good chat for a while, and the boys drank some whiskey.

So they delivered it to the Riad two days later. We had a full dinner at the riad tonight which was wonderful. Especially, after all the walking/hobbling we did today.

- Hi Ryan,I think my comment was not blunt enough.Yes it is a joke (a shame the homour is based on children dying though).Yes, it makes fun of a characture of a "dumb South Carolina kid" who totally misses the point.The problem is that I suspect that Thomas and Ted do not see the joke that way, and think it is mocking Obama rather than mocking the view held by some people that if you ignore gun violence it will go away.I think it is quite likely that Thomas and Ted think the child is making a wise and profound observation, rather than seeing the child as a metaphore for adults who hold the childish view that ignoring the problem and carrying on as usual will solve the problem.In fact, I think they do not even see it as a pro-gun control joke that makes fun of the pro-gun attitude.All the best,IanFrom: Ryan Hodges <ifly172@...>

- Hi Brian,
Thank you for your constructive comments on my observations.
I'm not sure what part of the world you are from, but in the UK ASBO is an acronym for Anti-Social Behaviour Order. In none of my posts have I been insulting or anti-social (if you disagree on this point, please show me the posts and I will willingly apologise for any offence I've caused) and I have never been issued with any form of restriction.
On the other hand, Dave_m has repeatedly accused me of being an "out right liar" - even though he has agreed that I have been telling the truth all along. Perhaps honesty and integrity are concepts that you either do not understand or do not believe in (and so you think nothing of Dave's behaviour) but in any other group, to throw insults and false accusations around in the way Dave_m has done would result in the moderator insisting that Dave behave in a more respectful manner. Of course Dave is the moderator of this group so he is unlikely to chastise himself.
As I have said before on this group, in the time that I lived and worked in the USA all the Americans I met, worked and socialised with were amongst the most friendly, helpful and generous people it has ever been my pleasure to meet. Dave's inability to admit that he made a mistake is unfortunate, but his rudeness and insulting accusations require an apology (or at least an admission that he "mis-spoke"......).
There is a sort of joke in Europe that goes:
"Advice to Americans traveling in Europe - Tell people you are Canadian"
I never really "got" that one until I encountered Dave's attitude. I know from personal experience that Dave is not representative of the average American, but it is his attitude and opinion that is being broadcast to the world via this group.
All the best,

We are experienced travellers and have stayed all over Europe. We stayed at Casa Moricciani for 5 nights and it was a perfect in every way. We loved the Villa (it was spectacular with all the amenities discussed being of the highest standard); we loved the view - over the valley; we loved the 75 yard walk to a wonderful relaxed restaurant where we received some of our beat meals; we loved our driver Angelo who took us on day trips; we loved Antonella that guided us through Siena; we loved the Chefs that prepared our meals; we loved the daily cleaning staff that were awesome; we loved the stocked wine fridge - simply convenient; we loved the fresh eggs and organic food ... the list could go on.
Most of all, we loved the attention to detail by Isabella and Carlo and their personal touch.

|Anything which is going to sound remotely OK will not be a pure
geometric wave form like the Sawtooth.
Here I describe my approach for making a flexible harmonic content system for note synthesis by passing the filter and harmonic spacing into a note generator as a template, template parameter.
Real sound generators rarely produce perfect harmonic sequences; even if we do want perfect harmonic sequences we might not want all the harmonics! [remember that triangle and square waves lack any even harmonics].
My approach in this is to encapsulate the required algorithms into a template class. This encapsulation needs also to resolve entirely at compile time. The definition is not formal naturally because we do not have concepts in C++11/14. However, the idea is that we have a template instantiation with two methods:
- constexpr static pitch_t freq()
- constexpr static volume_t attenuation()
The former returns the frequency of an overtone of the note and the latter the volume (which I keep calling attenuation which is just wrong of me) of the overtone. You have probably noticed that neither of those methods take any parameters. This is necessary to ensure they can be carried around in a template instantiation and always be constexpr computed at compile time. Their parameters are actually the template parameters.
Here is an example of just such a template. It uses the compile time 'filter' envelope generators I described here to filter a harmonic series. It also produces a 'stretch harmonic series'. Not all sounds have overtones which are exact multiples of the fundamental. Pianos are a very good example of this; their overtones are sharper than the exact multiples of the fundamental which leads to the Railsback curve. The example is more stretched than a piano; it gives a slightly metallic sound as a result. However, one can see that everything in this template is computable at compile time. Whilst it is a complex computation with many steps, it does not need to be repeated for every generated sample; the answer is there before the program ever runs.
template<pitch_t fund,size_t overtone> struct harmonics { using filter1 = LogFilter< FilterPoint<pitch(256.0),volume( 0.5)>, FilterPoint<pitch(256.0*3),volume( 0.125)>, FilterPoint<pitch(800.0),volume( 0.01)>, FilterPoint<pitch(1024.0),volume(0.25)>, FilterPoint<pitch(2048.0),volume(0.01)>, FilterPoint<pitch(3072.0),volume(0.125)>, FilterPoint<pitch(10000.0),volume(0.01)>, FilterPoint<pitch(25000.0),volume(0.01)> >; using filter2 = LogFilter< FilterPoint<pitch(256.0),volume( 1.0)>, FilterPoint<pitch(256*64.0),volume(1.0/64.0)> >; constexpr static pitch_t freq() { return (pitch_t)((double)fund*pow((double)overtone,1.1)); } constexpr static volume_t attenuation() { return volume(unVolume(filter1::attenuation<freq()>())*unVolume(filter2::attenuation<freq()>())/5); } };
"Great" I hear you say, 'but how do we use this in generating a note". The solution is passing templates as parameters to templates. That sounds like it is horrendously complex but actually it could not be simpler [well, OK it could but you get the idea]. Here is the recursive definition of a note generator which used the above code as a parameter.
#pragma once #include "core.hpp" namespace SonicCpp { template<bool terminator,pitch_t pitch,size_t Size,size_t recurse,template<pitch_t,size_t> class H> struct NoteGenerator_inner { using harm = H<pitch,recurse>; SinGenerator<harm::freq(),Size> gen; //maxHarmonic(pitch) is a constexpr which will equal recurse // when the max frequency has been reached so match the 0 specialised // template NoteGenerator_inner<greaterThan<MAX_FREQUENCY_N,harm::freq()>(),pitch,Size,recurse+1,H> note; double get(size_t i) const { return unVolume(harm::attenuation())*gen.get(i) + note.get(i); } }; template<pitch_t pitch,size_t Size,size_t recurse,template<pitch_t,size_t> class H> struct NoteGenerator_inner<false,pitch,Size,recurse,H> { using harm = H<pitch,recurse>; SinGenerator<harm::freq(),Size> gen; double get(size_t i) const { return unVolume(harm::attenuation())*gen.get(i); } }; template<pitch_t pitch,size_t Size,template<pitch_t,size_t> class H> class NoteGenerator { NoteGenerator_inner<1,pitch,Size,1,H> gen; public: double get(size_t i) const { return gen.get(i); } constexpr static size_t size() { return Size; } }; }OK, the cool piece (I think) is this:
template<pitch_t pitch,size_t Size,template<pitch_t,size_t> class H>
C++ lets us pass a template as a template argument. Thus, all the compile time instantiation of the passed template can be delayed till the instantiation of the outer template. This means the passed template's template parameters can be computed by the outer template. Therefore, I can make a definition of how to compute the overtone frequencies and volumes without having to actually defined them. The note creating template then uses my calculation to generate the overtones at compile time.
We can see this her:
using harm = H<pitch,recurse>; SinGenerator<harm::freq(),Size> gen; //maxHarmonic(pitch) is a constexpr which will equal recurse // when the max frequency has been reached so match the 0 specialised // template NoteGenerator_inner<greaterThan<MAX_FREQUENCY_N,harm::freq()>(),pitch,Size,recurse+1,H> note; double get(size_t i) const { return unVolume(harm::attenuation())*gen.get(i) + note.get(i); }
See how I can instantiate H in a particular instance of the note template (in yellow). It then can choose whether to continue recursing or stop based on the compile time frequency computed by the instance of H. That means the notes produced lack any aliasing without any clever filtering or myself as a programmer having to work out, ahead of time, how many overtones to include (in green).
The computation of the attenuation looks like it should be for every sample (red) but actually it is consexpr so it computed only once. The compiler can actually completely inline and solve the optimisation graph for the entire calculation of the note. Though the note is a complex filtered one with non linear harmonics, the calculation of the end result collapses down to just a multiplication of sin() with a few constants.

HSSS artisans
HSSS is a non-profit organization that works for the uplifting and development of underprivileged artisans. It is composed mainly of male artisans, both Hindu and Muslim, who suffer educational, training and health related issues. The hardships that these people go through include physical handicaps, illiteracy, extreme poverty, entrapment in lower castes, lack of knowledge about trade and markets, among others.
The artisans don't have knowledge of marketing skills and have many barriers to access international trade. However, they are very skilled in making wooden products and are committed to quality, so production is not a problem for them. Therefore, Fair Trade mostly helps them find a market and promote their products.
HSSS respects environmental values and for that they arrange to only use wood from the forest quota given by the government of India (which sells the wood of dead trees). When it comes to the advancement of the people, the organization is taking several steps for the betterment of the artisans. They have created self help groups for the artisans and also organize several exhibitions for promoting their art to increase their market opportunities.

Michael gets a call from Amanda who got in a little bit of trouble with the law for shoplifting. Being the good husband that Michael is, he decides to help her out a bind.
All you have to do is steal the cop car that Amanda is locked in, and then lose the three-star wanted level, which shouldn't be that hard.
