A. Back From Break
I am sorry for not updating the blog in the past weeks because I needed a break after finishing my studies (My reaction after submitting my paper: I am FREEEEEE!). Now, I am back, hopefully just in time, for a few updates before the Marvellous 12. Since I have taken a long hiatus, it takes time to catch up things being missed during the break. So please be patient and enjoy the upcoming articles!
