Note: The values of Constants A, B, C, D can be determined

sad using the following:

A = First Letter of your First Name (Just the first letter of your first name if you have multiple names)
B = First Letter of your Middle Name
C = First Letter of your Family Name
D = First Letter Current Location (Municipality/City)

D -2.0 -1.5 -1.25 -0.75 -0.5

Example: Lucifer S. Morningstar, Los Angeles

A = 0.75, B = -0.55, C = 1.5 & D = -1.25
