*A special apology** to Erik Brandt, who on two occasions (once when he first visted MCAD roughly two years ago, and once during my Junior Review) told me that I need to be more careful of my hard-returns.
** I hope that with this update, I have fixed the hard returns, and can subsequently retract said apology (in reference to this specific document... previous hard-returned document apologies still stand).
