do_custom.py

'''
This file will run a custom set of work for the project, using booleans set here
by the user.  In contrast, do_min, do_mid, and do_all use sets of execution options
specified in ./Code/Models/Options/.  As distributed, all flags are set to False,
so running this file will do very little.
