Thanks everyone for your patience, I've been hard at work these past 5 months. In the future I plan to keep updates more consistent on a monthly or near monthly basis. Hopefully this is the last update that requires months of work without updates. 
More updates are on the way!

Please provide feedback on the changes I've made! 😃
