I know I'm always posting planter DIY's on here or Instagram, but I can't help it…they are my favorite! I think it's also that I love seeing the transformation from something old or used turned into something new with a completely different purpose than it had previously.
This is a very simple DIY to do. Although depending on your design, you could go very complex with it if desired. I started by finding a recycled glass jar in our recycling bin to serve as my container.
First, I spray-painted my entire jar white. You can use either a gloss or flat finish. ( Gloss finish is shown here. ) I let it sit for a day to dry and so the paint could adhere to the glass completely. Most spray paints dry very quickly though, so you should be able to do its next coat of a different color or design fairly quickly afterwards.
Second, I cut my design out of a sheet of sticker paper. Normally I would just use painter's tape to tape off a geometric pattern or section, but this time I needed a curved outline to block off. I mimicked the cacti's form into a scalloped pattern to repeat around the jar as my design. Once taped off, I painted the bottom section a metallic gold. It dries very fast, so you should be able to remove the tape off in under a few minutes.
Lastly, choose any cacti or succulent of your choice to plant inside!

In July 2012, luxury watchmakers Breitling launched an ultra-limited edition of their classic Navitimer to celebrate the company's 60th anniversary as the preferred wristwatch in aviation. As the Luxury Insider reported, the company even had spokesman John Travolta fly to Singapore to show off the watch's myriad luxury features. The limited-edition Navitimer Blue Sky watch is steel with a blue dial, deep blue crocodile leather strap, with a red second hand and central chronograph. A clear backing provides a view into the inner workings of the Manufacture Breitling Caliber 01, the oldest self winding mechanical chronograph still in production.
Breitling, a staple amongst pilots since 1952, created this limited-edition timepiece to celebrate the engineering which has helped generations of aeronautical professionals make the precise calculations needed for navigation while in flight. Since the Navitimer first debuted, Breitling gained popularity among pilots as a conveniently wrist-worn instrument panel that helps calculate fuel usage, average speed, and distance covered while in motion. The company was named the official watchmaker of the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association, and features their logo on timepiece editions from the 1950's and 60's.
This anniversary-edition Navitimer Blue Sky stays true to the original design engineering, with the addition of a restyled face to this iconic Breitling model, with the limited-edition series number engraved on the face at 9 o clock. This 60th anniversary edition is available on the Navitimer bracelet, crocodile band, or the original perforated Air Racer bracelet.

There are several ways in which you can hasten a web design project. Those are, in other words, ways in which you can get a web design project to move faster. They can come in handy if, for instance, you are a web designer working for a client who feels that you are taking too long to complete his project. They can also come in handy if, for one reason or another, some of the time you had initially allocated for the web design project has been lost. This means that the project would have to be handled in a shorter period of time than was initially planned: making it necessary for it to be hastened. The most important thing here is to ensure that the standard of work isn't compromised, even as you try to hasten the project. Some of the ways in which you can hasten a web design project (without compromising the standard of work) would include:
- By using time-saving techniques: this is where, for instance, you can opt to create the website using a content management system (such as WordPress or Joomla), rather than coding everything from scratch. Or you can use a 'What You See is What You Get' software program, such as Dreamweaver, to automate some of the tasks you'd have performed manually. Another option is to use a template, which you can then tweak here and there to end up with the website you want. This should surely take much less time than coding everything (using HTML, CSS and other technologies) from scratch.
- By simply concentrating and (hence) working faster: if you focus on the web design project single-mindedly, without any other distractions, you will be surprised at how fast you will get it done. A project that would have taken four days can be completed in a single day, with single-minded focus.
- By getting more people to work on the web design project: this may entail hiring other web designers on a temporary basis, to help you get the project completed on time. Hiring such help may not be expensive as you would fear initially. Some may be folks who do other jobs on a part-time basis. You may, for instance, find someone who works as a clerk at UPS, yet he also possesses good web design skills. After undertaking UPSers registration, he may log into the UPS employees portal, which is accessible online at Upsers.com, only to find that he is scheduled to be off duty for a couple of days. If those days coincide with the days when you wish to complete the web design project, you can enlist his help, at a modest cost, to help you complete the project faster. So you can have a team of temporary staff working on the web design project – with each being assigned a page or a component of the website to design. Then you would bring it all together, go through the work to ensure that the other people did the right thing, and then hand the (completed) project to the client.

What is 5G?
One topic that is dominating wireless communication stories in 2018, exciting to some and unsettling for others, is 5G. Proof that things are getting serious came with the 2.3 GHz and 3.4 GHz spectrum auction in April in the UK, in which mobile operators spent nearly £1.2 billion on the 3.4 GHz spectrum.
Chapter 2: Procurement – best of breed solution and supplier
Our first blog in the series "starting your smart city journey" looked at the meaning of a smart city for councils and authorities. Once the council has identified its priorities and strategy for the smart city, the process of turning strategy into actual activities starts.
UK Government confirms its commitment to 5G
In March 2017 the UK Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport (DCMS) published its 5G Strategy as part of the UK Government's Digital Strategy. This included plans to overhaul the Electronic Communications Code (ECC) and clear new spectrum to accelerate mobile deployments.
UK's new Electronic Communications Code comes into force
It's often stated that regulators struggle to keep pace with changes in technology. This is perhaps nowhere truer than in the world of communications technology.
Smart meters for all by 2020 – but could some be missing out?
The concept of a smart home is becoming more of a reality as the number of connected consumer products with a more accessible price tag grows. Examples of smart home technology includes smart speakers, light bulbs and security equipment.
Wireless predictions 2018
As we start 2018, we would like to share with you our top predictions for this year to make you aware of upcoming events in the industry, focusing on the UK.
Demystifying the process of making your smart city proposal a reality
'Smart Cities' and 'Connected Cities' are terms widely bandied around in the industry. But, it means different things to different industry players. The sheer volume of options and opportunities – such as the talk of infrastructure, sensors, IoT, connected cars, smart bins, connected everything – can easily become overwhelming.

Following the first blog in our smart city series, we now explore who the real winners in a connected city are. There are many advantages in making a city smart but we are looking to analyse who some of the direct beneficiaries are.
What is a Smart City?
This is a term we are hearing more and more as cities across the world are striving to become Smart. But what does this mean? And how can a city become smart? iWireless Solutions is taking a look at this exciting concept which is becoming a reality for many.
Overcoming Small Cell Challenges
This week we have launched our network densification page and we thought what better way to commemorate this than to share some more of our insights into the technology. As we touch upon the subject of small cell challenges on the page we wanted to take the opportunity to now take a more in-depth look.
Spectrum – a key resource for wireless communications
Mobile data demand is growing at 70% annually in the UK according to Ofcom, and shows no sign of levelling off. Mobile network operators (MNOs), who previously focussed on maximising coverage, are now exploring new methods to increase capacity by densifying networks and gaining access to more spectrum.
Why deploy small cells?
There are many reasons why wireless network operators look to deploy small cells and these are generally intertwined. iWireless Solutions will look at these reasons and explore the challenges they help to overcome.
The benefits and challenges of Wi-Fi Calling
Overview Voice over Wi-Fi (VoWi-Fi) is the use of a IEEE 802.11 based wireless network for the purpose of voice conversations and is often referred to as Voice over wireless LAN. In essence, it is Voice over IP (VoIP) over a Wi-Fi network.
Understanding Small Cell Backhaul
Off-loading of mobile data to Wi-Fi or licensed small cells requires access to a high speed reliable backhaul connection to route the data to the mobile operator's core. One of the challenges here is that the backhaul network is often not under the direct control of the mobile operator.
Wireless Telegraphy Exemption Regulations 2017 response
iWireless Solutions recently responded to Ofcom's consultation regarding improving spectrum access for consumers in the 5 GHz band and proposal to make Wireless Telegraphy Exemption Regulations 2017. We thought we would share our response with you, and we hope it gives you some insight into our thinking and approach to the subject.
How to ensure effective management of your wireless airspace
Following our blog on cellular vs Wi-Fi airspace management we felt a more in-depth look at effective management of licence exempt spectrum within buildings was needed. For licenced spectrum, management is the responsibility of Ofcom, so interference can be reported directly to them.
Experiencing Mobile World Congress for the first time
Every year Barcelona plays host to the world's largest gathering for the mobile industry, Mobile World Congress (MWC). This year we sent our Sales Expert Andres Cruz on his maiden voyage to the event.
Wireless in new builds – no longer an afterthought
Imagine a major construction project – all is running smoothly, on plan, on budget. Steel structure is up, walls and ceilings are being put in, fixtures & fittings are next. But, wait, it is the year 2017 – a time where connectivity and mobility are no longer a nice to have, but a must have.
Wireless technology trends for 2017
iWireless Solutions takes a look at what we anticipate to be the biggest wireless technology trends for 2017. Spectrum Current trends indicate many changes in spectrum – licenced and licence exempt – to accommodate the growing number of devices requiring connectivity.
Cellular vs Wi-Fi airspace management
Airspace management, in the telecoms industry, involves monitoring and supervising the radio spectrum and the use of specific radio frequencies. This is necessary because the radio spectrum is a limited resource and thus should be used efficiently.
Macrocell vs Microcell
There are a number of ways to provide mobile network but it is generally broken down into two main terms, macrocell and microcell. Both provide radio coverage but in very different ways making each more effective in different situations.
Why Santa should love wireless
A recent question from my son was the driving force behind this blog: "How does Santa know who gets what present, and where every child lives?" This got me thinking, with recent developments in technology how would modern day Father Christmas carry out all of his deliveries?
Spectrum access for consumers in the 5 GHz band
iWireless Solutions recently responded to Ofcom's consultation regarding improving spectrum access for consumers in the 5 GHz band. We thought we would share our response with you, and we hope it gives you some insight into our thinking and approach to the subject.
VoWi-Fi Calling an alternative for in-building?
Is Wi-Fi Calling an alternative to in-building cellular solutions? Wi-Fi Calling is a feature supported in newer smartphones, enabling calls and SMS over Wi-Fi as an alternative to cellular.
Is MulteFire the "iPhone moment" for Small Cells?
Last month the Small Cells World Summit (SCWS) celebrated its 10th anniversary. This is the flagship global event for the small cells ecosystem. The industry began with the development of femtocells, mostly low cost units for improving cellular coverage in homes.
7 Challenges of High Capacity Small Cells
In 2015, global mobile data traffic amounted to 3.7 exabytes per month with an expectation to reach 30.6 exabytes per month in 2020, at a compound annual growth rate of 53 percent*. Due to the explosive growth of mobile data traffic and increasing expectations of customers to be always connected, operators are increasingly facing the […]
Can IoT enhance the stadium fan experience?
Why should fans endure the cost and stress of attending a football match when they can watch the excellent TV coverage from the comfort of their own sofa? The pull for fans is the unique shared atmosphere, the excitement of being there, and the fear of missing out by staying away.
How wireless technology enhances the stadium experience
Over the last few years, the buzz around Connected Stadium has been increasing as we try to better understand what experience fans want, whether cellular DAS or Wi-Fi is the right solution, and how this is monetized.
Professional Mobile Radio – Is 'digital' really better?
One definition of 'better' is: 'more desirable, satisfactory, or effective'. Applied to digital mobile radio, it may be considered better in terms of value deriving from efficiencies, technical superiority over professional mobile radio or added value.
What is the Internet of Things?
We are all familiar with the Internet, which enables billions of people to interact with remote computers and with each other. We are now seeing the emergence of the Internet of Things (IoT), which includes an ever increasing number of connected devices or "things".
Small cells
With the increased uptake of smartphones and tablets, data traffic continues to grow, putting a burden on the mobile operators' networks. High footfall areas or poor coverage "not spots" are areas where coverage provided by the mobile operators is not sufficient to meet the needs of the end users.
Cellular network: The difference between 2G, 3G and 4G
Second generation mobile (2G) refers to the first wave of all-digital communications standards for cellular mobile applications, the first generation being analogue based systems. In most countries 2G is synonymous with GSM, the standard developed by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI), which accounts for over 80% of all worldwide connections.
What is PMR and TETRA?
PMR stands for Private Mobile Radio and includes a range of wireless communications systems which are typically designed for dedicated use by individual organisations. There are several recognised standards, for example: TETRA, DMR, dPMR and other applications which include private security systems, fleet management and building facilities.
What exactly is Wi-Fi?
Wi-Fi solutions are short range wireless communication systems that typically operate on a smaller cell radius than cellular networks. They are traditionally self-contained systems within a physically constrained area, for instance, a building or campus.

Bushfire Emergency!
URGENT APPEAL for Wildlife, Climate, People, Planet
Australia's Wildlife is suffering from catastrophic bushfires and the loss of vital habitat.
Over 10.3 million hectares have been burnt and over 1 billion animals have died. Wildlife needs habitat to survive. It's vitally important that we restore as much rainforest as possible. We are raising $1 million to immediately plant 100,000 trees. Please donate now.
Your support is urgently needed to restore habitat for endangered Wildlife. Rainforests provide habitat for more species of plants and animals than any other ecosystem. Fires have damaged rainforests in Queensland, New South Wales, and Victoria. We must restore this habitat now.
We must restore our rainforests now! Rainforests provide a vital refuge for plants and animals especially when fires occur. Rainforests are less likely to burn than eucalyptus forests. Planting rainforest trees is one essential solution to protect Wildlife, Climate, People and the Planet.
Inspecting the impact of the bushfires on the rainforest in Northern NSW
We need to raise $1 million to plant 100,000 rainforest trees. We are ready to start immediately. A $10 donation will plant and care for your tree for three years to ensure survival. Please donate now.
Will you help with our rainforest recovery plan? We are restoring habitat in and near areas of fire-damaged rainforest in NSW and Queensland. We have established programs to plant trees, we will start today. We need your support to make a positive impact for Wildlife, Climate, People and the Planet.
Caring for our future. Restoring rainforest will sequester carbon from the atmosphere to help mitigate Climate Change preventing future escalations of bushfires. Drawdown is a milestone in reversing climate change, and eventually reducing global average temperatures. Planting rainforest trees is one of the most effective ways we reverse Climate Change. You can help.
Please donate now. Every $10 will plant one tree. A $50 donation will plant five trees, $100 will plant ten trees and $1,000 will plant and maintain 100 rainforest trees.
Bushfire recovery. We are ready to replant the rainforest and need your help.

After leading the Loyola Marymount University (LMU) men's basketball team for three seasons, Rodney Tention has resigned as head coach.
This season, the LMU Lions finished eighth in the West Coast Conference (WCC) with a 5-26 overall record and were 2-12 in WCC play.
"We would like to thank Rodney Tention and his staff for his commitment, outstanding efforts and we wish them the very best," said LMU athletic director William Husak, who announced Tention's resignation March 12th.
During Tention's three seasons as head coach, the Lions finished with a record of 30-61 overall and 15-27 in West Coast Conference play. LMU finished 12-18 overall in Tention's first season and was 13-19 overall in 2006-07.
Husak said LMU will begin the search process immediately for a new men's basketball coach.
Tention led the Lions to a second-place finish in the WCC and an appearance in the WCC Tournament Championship in his first season. In his second year, Tention led the Lions to wins over three NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) tournament teams, the most by a Lions squad in more than 15 years.
Tention helped LMU to an 8-6 WCC record in his first season, the most conference wins for the Lions since the 1991-92 and 1995-96 seasons. The second-place finish in the WCC was the Lions' best since the 1996 season. With the second seed in the WCC tournament, the Lions earned a win in the semifinals for the first time since 1989 and advanced to the WCC title match.
Prior to joining LMU, Tention had played three seasons with San Francisco and was an assistant at the University of Arizona for eight seasons.

A place where you can submit pre-reviews for the Umbrella game Megald Warriors. Is there much more to explain?
Reviews Pre-Completion
CSketch's Review
Amazing idea! The point system sounds promising, and the character roster is really good! The stages sound really unique and different from eachother and the hazards sound awesome! The modes sound like they would be extremely fun! All of these combine to make something definately unique! If someone in this whole wide world dares to call this a "Smash Clone" then they MUST be blind (that doesn't mean they can't say it's bad but a clone? Ha!)! I give it pretty nice 0/10 .....Nah, just kidding 9/10! - CSketch 2014
TimeSoul's Review
Originally, I said your game looked like almost every other umbrella fighter on the wiki. While still true, you're going above and beyond the usual character listings. An IP, the people from Amulet, Barry Bee... all of them seem like really cool ideas. I also like how you gave special attributes to some characters, like Bugs' Slapstick Resistance (seems like something Exoskeleton would, and probably already did, do). My favourite idea is definitely the City Life mode, though. For a pre-review, 4.5-5.5/10. Nice work. Time ★ Soul 00:08, April 27, 2014 (UTC)
Sr. Wario's Review
City Life is really cool and I think that we be good on it's own.
Otherwise, not trying to be rude, just helpful, incredibly boring One or two new characters with the same old same old. Points have been done before in one way or another and incorporating style in your game could have been done much better.
7/10-Right now, same old, same old Jr. Troopa
Exotoro's Review
I feel like this is supposed to be sort of a new start or approach to the baby waffle genre for SSD. Gameplay is surprisingly pretty lacking compared to some baby waffles, as if this is the first installment of something just to break in the ground again.
A lot of Baby Waffles get compared to Fighters of Lapis. If you look at it's first game, it's pretty barebones compared to the games preceeding it. As a first game, I feel this is a good start but it depends on whether SSD plans on making it a expansive universe.
We start off with the gameplay. There are just four modes, a surprisingly small number. Looking at other games though, they too have just four gameplay modes. Of course though, there implies there may be more revealed. There is a point gimmick in this game; player with the most points wins the match. This is a pretty radical departure but it doesn't really step over anything to get there nor does it really feel justified. I think the impression of the point system is to basically give skilled players the win. You can step back to a stock and timed match, but these aren't the normal. Some credit should be given for attempting to draw something else here, but it really doesn't impact a ton.
Can't say a lot about Dark Dominion as I believe the roots haven't even hit the ground yet. Plot sounds a wince bit generic though, but the plots of baby waffles have never been a sole focus.
Events return from Smash. An interesting thing to note is that a rather obscure villain is the final event. Megald Warriors is already attempting to craft an identity, but it hasn't quite carved anything different yet.
City Life is easily the most interesting mode. I feel this actually makes characters feel useful aside from fighting, where as in some baby waffles it doesn't really matter who you play as.
Are you getting tired yet? We're just getting to the starting characters, so don't go out yet.
Megald Warriors begins with Mario. Mario has always been a starting choice for most baby waffles, although some have defied this rule in the past. Rosalina and Bowser joins him, but that's basically it for Mario characters for now.
Then everything changes, as if it's meant to be some kind of trap. I've never heard of Amulet but upon doing some research the characters appear to be from a graphic novel. SSD immediately catches your attention with these two new characters: Emily and Leon. It does a pretty good job from shifting from the recognizable at a blur to irrecognizable even up close.
You get some Frozen characters next, joined by Pit, Erin, and Unten. It does a pretty good job trying to capture a multitude of media that the characters will come from, hinting at a lot.
Then we get to Squav. There's two of them and they're noted with blue text: "Some characters, however, switch out and share the same slot. They are marked with blue text." Stockart Squav is obviously meant to be a weakened version of a character. They share the same slot so it's not really a slot waster (I define these as joke characters in the starting roster which is a sign you're looking at a bad game) but it is skirting it pretty close. It introduces a new concept though, which is further explored with Zelda and Shiek, giving two types of slot sharers; past/present characters that were seen in Fighters of Lapis 5 and "switch" characters.
We don't really get anyone we haven't really seen until we get to the X-Men characters. It's weird how ignored the X-Men characters are, actually! I didn't realize that until now. They're pretty popular X-Men so it is weird to see such highly popular characters seen for the first time.
Silver is another character that should be expected, but isn't. We get two more new characters Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver, which are getting some new buzz for their inclusion in Avengers 2.
I haven't seen any TOME characters outside of whatever other games SSD works on; these characters I refer to as "creator mascot characters". Basically these guys show up with those authors, not being really popular outside of that author. They only get exposure through the person who keeps adding them. Alpha is also a slot-sharer. We've only seen three so far.
We see Zero Suit Samus, oddly without a suited Samus. I don't know if it's an attempt to subvert expectations or SSD just hasn't added her suited form yet but it's one of the few things giving it some identity.
Barry and Green Lantern are some more expected but are new to the baby waffle scene characters.
We get sort of a trio of more characters that help build an identity; Gaara, Megaman, and Elec Man. Despite Gaara being from Naruto, the titular character is nowhere in sight. Megaman and Elec Man use their "Powered Up" forms from the game Megaman Powered Up.
After that we really don't get a ton of people really needing a second glance except for Paper Mario, which acts as a Second Act and a good call back to the starting characters. By having another Mario be the start of the table again, it creates another part of the game's identity.
We meet Gavin Sparrow and Mega Charizard X. Charizard is nowhere to be seen so his inclusion feels odd. Overall though, the unlockable characters doesn't feel as unique in creating an identity.
We're finally past the characters, how's everyone doing?
The starting stages seem pretty unique for the most part, none of them feel worn yet. I've seen some of these locations before but other than the Nether they don't really detract the identity built up so far.
Items have an new piece of info attached to them: rarity. The assist trophies flat out state 15, which feels sort of low. Dunno. They don't play a BIG role but I've never really seen a number attached to assist trophies before.
The two bosses don't feel worn out either. It's interesting to see the juxtapose again, with Mario again leading a character section (bosses in story mode).
Soundtrack's a bit short.
So how would I rate it? I rate it around a 8 for now, although seeing if it would keep making steps towards building an identity. It's only in progress so I will be a bit more generous here then I would if this was the final game, but it's promising. The seeds have been planted and it'll be interesting to see how it sprouts.
Until then....

Goomy the Mighty's Review
The modes are kind of generic for a fighting game, and that I think City Life was kind of a strange addition.
There were a lot of unique characters in this game that I have never seen in a Baby Waffle game before, such as the Amulet characters and Barry Bee, despite me not knowing much about all of the characters I just listed, and Elsa and Anna, despite me not exactly being the biggest fan of their movie. I also like how you put Stockart Squav and Modern Squav in the game, too. The Project Second Coat characters were also fairly good additions. The only complaints that I have with the character roster are that Zelda and Sheik are in the game, with Link nowhere to be seen, and Garra is in the game but Naruto can't be found anywhere. Same with Meta Knight and Magolor, Kirby is not in the roster at all. Also, Silver is in the roster but no Sonic.
The stages also feel quite new, except for maybe Green Hill Zone, which appears as the main Sonic stage in a lot of fanon crossover games.
A lot of the items are interesting, and I like the points system. The only complaint here is that the Assist Gem is literally just the Assist Trophy with another name, why couldn't you have just put that instead?
This is a pretty good game, but it has its flaws.

Reviews Post-Completion
Exotoro's Review
Well, here I am again.
I previously looked at Megald Warriors before it was complete, so I'm going to go over what he added as opposed to everything in the game. You can read my rather lengthy pre-review up there.
There is a new mode from my last look: Minigames. The mode is multiplayer fun but it really doesn't offer much from that. Then again, neither does City Life. I feel that if he plans on doing a sequel, he should have these modes more interconnected with achievements in the game.
Going to go over Dark Dominion, the story mode of the game. I believe it is complete...? At 24 levels, it feels it should be a moderately paced story. However it feels a bit rushed, as it attempts to pull a Fighters of Lapis 3 twist midway through. The story hasn't been a big part of Baby Waffles, but the story doesn't really strengthen the game, I feel. Hopefully the next game will give the story more room to develop.
I don't think there were a ton of new characters added to the startes, so I'll just go over one that caught my eye: Villager. Paying for moves seems somewhat appropriate but... I don't know it doesn't exactly flow well. It attempts to do something new but it doesn't really work in a fighting game.
Mega Charizard X feels like an odd choice but I feel like it was either him or Charizard, so at least the cooler of the two got picked. Moe is another oddball choice but he works as a second Calvin rep. He's a bit out there, but I really like those out there characters.
Toon Donkey Kong is the joke character of the game, and I like it. I felt perhaps he should have sung too, but I digress.
The twist Megald Warriors pulls off is that there are actually less unlockables than starters. It feels like a first generation baby waffle in almost every way except for this. It's a odd stylistic decision but it doesn't really detract.
The stages don't really feel that new either. There are some new choices here and there, but there were really none that really caught my eye to comment on. A lot of them are very colorful but they feel mostly the same due to it.
There are quite a lot of items but my favorite is the Mark One Suit. Such an out-there item that really works. I feel like this is perhaps inspired by the current arc in the Newspaper Spideman where J. Jonah uses an Iron Man suit to out-hero Spiderman, but that may just be a coincidence, seeing as I'm the only one reading that through the Comics Curmudgeon.
Assist Gems host a lot of surprises in that some of these characters have been playable in other baby waffles. As such, none of them really surprise me in a way but it feels unique in a way in that a lot of these characters I feel familiar with but their role isn't.
The Bosses is where I feel like the game shines in having different characters. 8/9 I have not seen a baby waffle game, not in any role.
Ultimately though, I feel it suffers from one thing though... the strive to be finished. It hurts the game in few places like story, and a lot of it can be felt throughout the article. I wish there was just a bit more time invested in some areas and that there really wasn't a feel that it needed to be "finished". I only get to see this new universe for so long, so it feels odd to me there is so little to see.
Is this the next Fighters of Lapis? In a way, maybe. It attempts to do something new in a tired genre and while it doesn't quite pull some stuff off, I feel like it will do better next time. It strives to be original in it's own way and while some of that falls apart if you've seen this stuff before, it was still a good ride.
There is no score anymore. I recommend checking it out, and I'm out.
The real mystery of Gravity Falls
Meme's Review
As much as I like Dark as a buddy, I don't think this is his best work. It feels like a regular Umbrella Fighting game, with the basic characters and Assists. The bosses are pretty cool choices, but predictable. Events is a pretty awesome edition, though. Most of the characters weren't the best ideas, but some were pretty acceptable (Barry, Toon DK, etc.)
Overall, a 3.2/5

GREENEVILLE, Tenn. --- For a second straight match, the Tusculum men's soccer team receiving another balanced offensive attack as the Pioneers defeated visiting Milligan College 4-2 Saturday night at Pioneer Field.
Four different Pioneers found their way into the scoring column as Tusculum is off to its first 2-0 start in seven years. TC's last 2-0 start was in 2008 when the Pioneers posted a 20-3-1 record and advanced to the NCAA Division II Elite Eight.
In the 26th minute, TC senior Cody Kammerzell scored his second goal of the young season as he took a deflected bass from Nathaniel Scere and deposited the shot inside the right post.
Milligan answered four minutes later as Jonathan Colson notched his third goal of the year as he took a crossing pass from Anthony Walker in the box and found the back of the net to tie the match at 1-1.
Two minutes before the intermission, Ricardo Da Silva broke the deadlock with the header to give the Pioneers a 2-1 lead going into the locker room.
Kyle Dickson, who assisted on Da Silva's goal, scored one of his own in the 54th minute with his blast from 12 yards out for a two-goal TC lead.
Milligan trimmed the deficit to a goal when Thomas Suits blasted a free kick from 40 yards away to the top right corner at the 62:29 mark of the match.
Pablo Laguna added an insurance goal in the 84th minute from the top of the penalty area for his first scoring tally of the season.
Tusculum out-shot Milligan by a 27-14 margin, including 12-6 in shots on goal. TC also held a decisive 8-2 advantage in corner kicks.
Tusculum keeper Jorge Alvarez recorded four saves in the contest, while his Milligan counterpart Nick Smith tallied seven stops in the loss.
The Pioneers host Lees-McRae College on Wednesday for a 7 p.m. contest at Pioneer Field.

By Doyle
Pairing: Angel/Spike
Rating: PG-13
Notes: Backup fic for the Puppet!Angel ficathon. itsabigrock wanted the line "Haven't had to put this many stitches in you since Bucharest" and no violation of Angel's puppet-hole. I loved that last phrase so much I stole it.
Spike raised his eyebrows in a parody of innocence. One hand hovered midair for a moment, as if he was wondering whether pressing it to his heart would be just too much of the drama queen, then it dropped back to the couch. It landed just a bit too close to Angel's leg for his liking and he glared, shuffling away. Spike's hands hadn't looked quite so big before. His whole body hadn't looked so big as it did right now, and Angel had had Spike kneeling on the floor in front of him plenty of times.
Two more days of this, if Fred was right (please, God, he thought fervently, let Fred be right, I don't care if she spends a whole year's budget on particle… studying… things, just make her right about this).
"Shut. Up. Spike."
"What?" Spike protested. "Didn't say a thing."
"You were going to. I know what you were thinking."
He scoffed, neatly biting off another length of thread. "Oh, not allowed to think, now? Not all of us can switch it off as easy as you." Frown of concentration as he joined thread and needle. "Not that there's a lot to be switched off, in your case."
Angel remembered - not without nostalgia - the days when one well-chosen insult would cut right across William's face like a whiplash. Those days had lasted maybe the grand total of three weeks, before the boy had learned to give as good as he got, if possible before he got it, even if that earned him a thrashing, or worse.
Good times.
He would have thought up something really clever and cruel to shoot back, but his concentration span had decreased along with his size and he found himself distracted by the needle. It was so shiny. And headed towards his felt skin-substitute and hey!
"Stop being an old woman," Spike complained. "Gimme the arm back."
"This was a bad idea. Lorne or Wes will be here in the morning, they can sew it back." He looked forlornly at his shoulder. "Till then, I'll just stay like this."
"And what if you turn back ahead of schedule?" He broke into a grin. "Come to think of it, that'd be funny. Could have us a remake of The Fugitive."
Reluctantly, and not admitting even to himself that Spike was right, he handed over his arm. Seeing it like that, detached from his body, was strange and upsetting. Even if it was tiny with stuffing hanging fluffily from the popped seam at the top, it was his arm.
"D'you think it'd make much of a difference if I sewed it on back to front?"
"Just wondering." He held the arm up against Angel's body, looking at it critically. "This'll be easier if you take your clothes off."
Of all the lines Spike had used to get him naked over the years, that was… a fairly typical one. Angel had his suspicions - he wouldn't rule out any sexual kink when dealing with Spike - but he had to admit that sewing his arm back to his body would be easier than trying to sew through body and shirt and leather coat.
He was going to miss that coat, he thought, right until the point where he tried to take it off one-handed, and then he decided he'd be happy to never see it again. Spike had to help him, and that was humiliating enough before they got the shirt open, and then Spike was close to hysterical with laughter.
"Yes, I have nipples," Angel growled, adding his second and third prayer of the night in quick succession: that Spike would restrain himself from the phrase "wee little puppet nipples" and that he wouldn't take an interest in what was beneath the rest of his clothes.
He got part of his wish.
"They're buttons," Spike said, as if this was some delightful and awe-inspiring discovery, and then something even more interesting seemed to strike him. "Hey, bend forward."
Angel's eyebrows went up so far and so fast that the Velcro sticking them in place came loose. "What?! No!"
Spike rolled his eyes. "I want to see if you've still got your tattoo, you git. Trust me, your wee little puppet hole is safe from me."
Angel's lapsed Catholicism lapsed another few notches downwards.
"You want the arm back, show me the tat," Spike said, waggling the arm. A wisp of stuffing drifted to the floor.
With the long-suffering sigh of a puppet under severe pressure, Angel twisted around and dropped forward enough to let Spike see over his shoulder.
"The gryphon's still there," Spike reported. "S'got little cherub wings. And it's grinning."
His own tattoo was laughing at him. That officially made it everybody in the world. Except Nina, and after that thing with the dog, he wouldn't blame her. What the hell was it about being this shape that made him a target for canines? He couldn't even get breakfast without some goddamn mongrel ripping off one of his limbs. Just because he'd been holding bacon in his mouth because he didn't want to confess that he had no way of swallowing it… In the retelling, the terrier had become a Dobermann, and the bacon had been left out entirely. It was still hardly an epic tale of a champion's battle.
Spike's curiosity was apparently satisfied by the show and tell, because he set to with the needle. Angel winced at every in and out; it didn't hurt, exactly, but he could feel it puncture what he was stubbornly thinking of as his skin.
"Haven't had to put this many stitches in you since Bucharest," Spike murmured, tiny pink triangle of tongue sticking out the side of his month.
Angel gave him a cautious look, keeping as still as he could. No jokes, no sexual innuendo, just a straightforward statement of fact. That was worrying.
"Bucharest," he said. "That was right before I got the soul."
"Right after the run-in with that vampire hunter. Should've really seen that coming."
"How were we supposed to know Van Helsing was a real guy?" Angel protested, but he was thinking about that fight, how they'd barely escaped with their heads still attached. The girls had had a chance to run and they'd taken it - of course they had, so would he if it'd been one of the others in that damn trap. Spike had stayed, dragged him out of there before sunrise. Called him names all the way home. Angelus had given him a bloody lip for it. Compared to all their other fights, barely a love-tap.
There was a tingling coming back into his fingers.
"Almost done," Spike said.
"You're pretty good at this," he admitted, telling himself that he could claim later his puppet state had gone to his head.
Spike's expression didn't even flicker. "Used to be a toymaker, old little fella, worked out of a cabin in this village in Czechoslovakia. Did the whole Disney stereotype. Stories to kiddies, puppets all over the place. Brilliant work. Dru loved the dolls he made her."
"So maybe you picked up some of his genius when you ate him," Angel finished, unable to work up the energy to be truly disgusted.
"Yeah, probably," he agreed amiably. "There."
He flexed his four short fingers. Good as new. Huh.
"So," Spike said, bestowing him with a filthy leer, "what's inside the puppet pants?"
Two more days.

STUDENT Experiences
At Rocky Hill Country Day School, innovation begins with creating a culture of risk-taking and where mindset and skillset produce meaningful learning. It's not just about gadgets in the classroom. Rather, it's about designing authentic learning experiences that integrate content and skills across disciplines, with the habits of mind necessary for success in a rapidly changing world. Together, students and faculty identify and attempt to solve some of the planet's most challenging problems.
See some real-world learning in action!
Below are some examples of the kinds of experiences Rocky Hill Country Day students are exposed to throughout the year.

#selfaware #communicator
Social Innovation
Students focus their passions on building a better future for all, understanding that their efforts can have a direct and positive impact on the world. Social innovation is the intersection of Impact, Value, & Growth of an idea or organization.
The Empty Bowls Project delivered value from student learning to develop a replicable service that can grow. Students generated impact for a local food pantry by developing nutritious recipes for those utilizing the pantry in this interdisciplinary study of poverty and food insecurity. Art teacher, Rachel Armentano received the Rhode Island Art Education Association's Middle School-Level Art Educator of the Year for 2015.
#citizen #criticalthinker #ethical
Service Learning
Both critical experiences of a Rocky Hill Country Day education, students participate in and develop their own community service goals, however, embedding service as an outcome of projects generated in the classroom allows for deeper learning for all.
After learning about the nutritional, social support, and enrichment needs of sanctuary parrots, the 3rd grade students made toys for the birds out of recycled materials. The sanctuary, Foster Parrots, is using their creations to support the healthy development of their animals.

Russia's Top Grain Traders Create a New Union of Grain Exporters
Today, on April 23, 2019, ASTON Company, together with Russian traders, including Glencore Agro IGC LLC, United Grain Company Yug LLC (OZK-Yug LLC) and Trading House RIF LLC have signed a memorandum on the creation of the Union of Grain Exporters.
The main purpose of the Union will be the promotion of Russian grain and legumes, both raw and processed, on international markets. Its creation would contribute to better coordination among grain exporters and between them and government authorities. Among other things, the organization plans to engage in legislative activities, identify and implement the best international practices in assuring and confirming the quality of grain and its processed products, assist in the development of specialized laboratories and expert organizations, the use of digital technology and information systems.
Eduard Zernin, Deputy General Director of the United Grain Company, has been appointed Executive Director of the Union.
"An effective union of grain exporters is indispensable for the market, since grain remains Russia's most exported agricultural product. I am confident that the Union will help to bring large stakeholders together, contribute to product quality, development and compliance with common trade rules and regulations, promote grain to world markets and boost exports," says Dmitry Lysenko, Deputy General Director of ASTON Company.
The Ministry of Agriculture of Russia initiated the creation of a new union of grain exporters this February. "We need to understand the general trends, the common demands of the market, and this is why it is necessary to form a strong union that will represent the interests of the top exporters. The union will be created closer to April of this year," reported the Ministry citing the Minister Dmitry Patrushev. According to the Ministry's projection, the Russian Federation will export 41 million tons of grain, including 37 million tons of wheat, in this agricultural year (July 2019-June 2020).

thank you indeed for stopping by. I do like to share with you today some fabolous background I have done in less then 10 min!
The only thing you gonna need is some Acrylic Paint and a brayer. Just add a few drop Acrylic Paint on (strong) Paper or cardboard and distribute the colour with the brayer. Let it dry and take another colour Layer on Layer...

Remember when making windows more energy efficient meant installing the old storm windows? Window engineering has come a long way, with vinyl windows becoming some of the best options available.
But if you currently have wood, aluminum, or steel windows installed in your home, then you're probably wondering why you'd ever replace them with vinyl windows.
Here are some of the top benefits of Staten Island vinyl replacement windows, which you should definitely take into consideration:
1. They require no painting.
If you have wood windows, painting them can be a real pain-in-the-neck. First there's the process of buying the paint and all the materials you'll need for the job. Then there's the whole rigmarole of uninstalling the windows, painting them, and then reinstalling them.
And the "best" part of the whole process is that you'll have to do it all over again once when it's time to repaint the windows! With vinyl replacement windows, you can avoid all that hassle. After they're installed, you'll never have to paint them throughout the lifetime of the windows.
2. They can reduce your utility bills.
Double-pane vinyl windows create a vacuum between the two panes. But this is a wholesale upgrade from the traditional window configuration, which would include the main window the storm window. The reason is that the double-pane vinyl windows create an air-tight vacuum. That serves as the perfect insulation if you're running your air conditioner or furnace. The indoor air stays indoors and the outdoor air stays outdoors. This climate control that the vinyl windows provides, allows your home to retain heat from the furnace or coolness from the air conditioner. And the money saved will allow the windows to virtually pay for themselves, due to savings from lower utility bills.
3. They improve the aesthetic value of your home.
Vinyl replacement windows look a hundred times better than any wood, aluminum, or steel windows. In fact, they'll virtually give your house a facelift!
Even if your house isn't the newest one on the block, vinyl replacement windows (along with vinyl siding) will make your home look as though it were new! Whether you choose standard double-pane windows, picture windows, or another type-they'll help to improve the first impression that people have of your home.
4. They improve the monetary value of your home.
Home improvements that increase your home's value are definitely worthwhile. That's why vinyl replacement windows are an outstanding investment. You can pass all the benefits of the windows, to the next homeowner of your house. A house is one of the biggest investments that you can make, so putting money back into it is certainly wise.
5. They have safety features.
From their sturdy glass to effective locks, vinyl replacement windows are a significant upgrade to old-style wood, aluminum, and steel windows.
6. They can easily be customized.
This is definitely one of the best benefits of vinyl replacement windows. They can be customized to replace virtually any current window in your home. That's simply not the case with old-style windows. And besides that, vinyl windows can be installed very quickly and easily.
If you're looking for new windows for your home, then you should definitely consider Staten Island vinyl replacement windows. They're economical, attractive, and flexible-they're perfect!

Windows in New York homes not only have a utilitarian purpose but also serve as an expression of our tastes and our living styles. This is the reason why so many homeowners pay particular attention to getting the exact replacement window that will best complement their homes. This article provides you with useful information on the variables to consider before selecting a replacement window.
Retrofit Vs New Construction: Both have their merits and which is right for you will depend on the nature of your project. The cost of installing a retrofit window is approximately half that of a new construction window. In retrofitting, an existing square frame (window opening) is used for installation and the existing window trims are usually left untouched. New construction windows are either nailed or screwed as a unit to the wall's structural framing after removal of interior and exterior trims. Retrofits are advisable for houses with a stucco exterior and substantial trims around the windows. If done right, a retrofit will provide as good a seal as a new construction.
The most popular option, more durable than aluminum and wood , resistant to corrosion, swelling, and peeling, reduced energy bills due to good insulation properties of vinyl, medium to high R-value, low maintenance, competitive pricing, moldable into a variety of shapes, resistant to scratches, fits well with most structural designs, covers a wide range of prices. Disadvantages of vinyl windows include its properties change with temperature, repainting is not recommended, needs to be shielded from very high temperatures, since vinyl is extruded, it not as easy to shape as aluminum.
These windows have two sheets of glass separated by a gap of one half to one inch that contains either air or an insulating inert gas, such as argon.. These windows have a low U-value of approximately 0.5, which means enhanced insulating properties and greater energy savings.
Three sheets of glass with layers of insulating gas between them makes these windows the most energy efficient. However, their cost and difficulty in installation due to their weight are a drawback. With two layers of air / gas, the chances of a failure of the insulating seal are higher.
These windows have a coating that reduces the heat loss due to radiation by 40% to 70% but allows the light to pass. Thus, low–e windows have better insulation properties. Application of low–e coating can reduce the emmisivity of clear glass from 0.85 to 0.15. Double pane windows with a low–e coating offer similar insulation as a triple pane window but without the increase in weight. How to find the right contractor?: The right replacement window contractor can install your new windows at a reasonable costs and in a timely fashion. Credibility and reliability are important.

Edit August 16, 2011: I've explored more stores and online expat forums and become good friends with my German/English dictionary. I've edited the list below to reflect new finds.
I'm approaching meal plan burnout. I only brought a handful of recipes from my US collection, and I think all boys (big & small) are a little sick of having pizza, spaghetti, lentil soup, and lemon chicken in the rotation. We miss Morningstar Farms Black Bean Burgers and Alexia Spicy Sweet Potato Fries (the onion rings are delish too).
I spent some time this weekend searching for new recipes, especially slow cooker/CrockPot ones. I was frustrated after only like ten minutes. I quickly realized my problem: a variety of ingredients and the extreme lack thereof.
I found so many recipes that called for things like a can of this or a can of that, refried beans, baked beans, cheddar cheese, cream-of-something soup, ricotta cheese, a box of cake mix, a box of cornbread mix, a bottle of BBQ sauce, sweet potatoes, a whole chicken, chicken thighs, chicken wings, chicken quarters, chicken brains (just kidding), etc. This really limits my options. Like really. Like totally.
I should also add that we don't eat pork, sausage, or really any other kind of meat except chicken, beef, and turkey (no weird parts either, please). That's about half of Aldi right there.
Since I often get asked by super great friends and family what they can send me that I can't get here (and for super great readers that are just curious), I thought I'd compile a list. Then instead of fumbling for ideas off the top of my head (which I am, uh, uh, um, terrible at), I can just politely thank them and refer them here.
Some items I'm going to list below can be obtained in Germany but are included because they are either (1) eye-popping expensive or (2) Sherlock-Holmes-grade difficult to find. Or the store is on the other side of town nowhere near anywhere I might possibly need or want to go. Or it tastes so incredibly different from the original that it doesn't even count as the same (black beans with sugar, anyone?).
(side note: I discovered that Amazon.de has food for sale just like Amazon.com.. have a look around and let your own eyes bug out at the prices!)
And, yes, I am a do-it-yourself-er and often make things on my own. But, I now have three nights per week where I need something that is fast (as in 20 mins or less, start to finish) or can be made ahead in the CrockPot. My freezer is hilariously small and cannot hold more than one frozen pizza or one bag of French Fries, but not both. Edit: I have a new fridge/freezer now!
- Goldfish crackers
- Nature Valley – style crunchy granola bars
- Graham Crackers
- Molasses (I hear it exists but have never seen it)
- BBQ Sauce (expensive; only at certain stores)
- Ranch Dressing (liquid & seasoning packets for things like fries, dips, etc)
- Yellow Mustard (such as French's)
- Peanut Butter (just peanuts & salt)
- Mac & Cheese (instant) – Rewe carries the boxed stuff for 2,50
- Stuffing Mix
- Whoppers
- Reese's / any other peanut butter candy
- Jelly Beans / Peeps / other American-style holiday candy
- Refried Beans – Rewe carries Refried Beans for 2,00 per can
- Black Beans (dried or canned – that taste like real black beans) – Found at a Portuguese store
- Jalapenos (raw) – Found jarred jalapenos for salsa at Rewe and an Asian ethnic food store
- Tortillas – Aldi and Lidl carry flour tortillas during American weeks
- Salsa!
- Tortilla Chips that taste like tortilla chips
- Taco / Fajita seasoning – Rewe carries Old El Paso brand but it is almost 2 euro per packet
- Spices (we have salt, pepper, garlic powder, curry, paprika, and cinnamon – everything else is €€€)
- Hominy
- Corn tortillas
- Other Mexican / Tex-Mex ingredients (chiles, cumin, chipotle powder, etc)
- Cheddar Cheese (only at certain stores – from Ireland) – Lidl regularly carries sliced cheddar
- Ricotta Cheese (actually found this today – but only one kind, full-fat)
- Greens (like spinach and kale – I have seen spinach but it is sold in a huuuuge bag, dirty, and rare)
- Sweet Potatoes – Rewe stocks sweet potatoes and I have seen them at Real-
- Brown sugar (the soft kind – we only have the crunchy crystal kind)
- Chocolate Chips / White Chocolate Chips / Peanut Butter Chips
- Vanilla Extract
- Cream of Tartar
- Cool Whip
- Chocolate Syrup
- Pancake Mix
- Canned Pumpkin
- Bagels – Lidl and Aldi offer these during some American weeks
- Breakfast Cereal (we have some kinds of Kelloggs cereals, but that's about it / definitely nothing high-fiber!) – Found bran flakes at Lidl
- Dr. Pepper / Root Beer / Cream Soda
- Almond Milk (soy is everywhere but anything else is hard to find)
- Gatorade / Powerade
- Unsweetened cranberry juice
- Turkey Bacon
- Salmon (something similar is sold but it's not the same)
- Edamame
- Frozen French-Style Green Beans
- Vital wheat gluten (for homemade wheat bread)
- Ziploc-style bags (not food but expensive and hard to find)
As you can see, trying to be creative in meal planning without standard staple ingredients you are used to week after week can get older than the annual Christmas fruitcake. You eat it 'cuz you have to, not 'cuz you want to.
Do you have any fresh quick-to-fix dinner ideas? I would love to hear them! Even links to great websites with fast, healthy recipes would be greatly appreciated. Now, go make some chicken nuggets, mac & cheese, and Frenchy green beans and think of me.
Oh and if you happen to stop by this blog, live in Germany, and know where I can find these things – I'd love for you to leave a comment!

Golfer Michelle Wie was one of the most hyped athletes of her time and has settled into a good role on the LPGA tour. Now she is showing off with a new shoe from Nike.
The Solheim Cup is taking place and in honor of the 15th anniversary of the tournament, Nike has debuted a shoe that Wie will be wearing all week. The shoe features over 6,000 crystals in the shoe and they look absolutely gaudy.
On the heel of the shoe, it features her nickname "Wiezy." Only making the shoes all the more unique.
As you can see in the image above, those aren't the show shoes and these are a modified pair that she is wearing in action. Now if you are hoping to get a pair yourself, these shoes won't be released. These are a Wie exclusive making them a real collector's item.
But you can get a similar pair that are in collaboration with Swarovski that will be coming out in September. Talk about a statement.

For Month 1, Bahá/Splendor, we offer a free gift the 9 prayers from Ruhi Book 3 Grade 1 to fit into a 4x6" or 5x7" mini photo album (available at many stores or can be hand-made). The mini photo albums make sturdy, small-sized booklets and are perfect for the small hands of children. 1) Begin by downloading our 6 page pdf containing 9 prayers, two cover pages and 12 images for children to design for themselves when they feel ready for that2) Print the pdf in black and white 3) Cut each page in quarters.4) Let the children color and decorate all the images over time. There are a lot of images. 5) Inserting the pages can be tricky but it is good practice for focusing. Luckily, it's easy to shift the pages and change them around. Begin by inserting the prayer book cover image into the front cover pocket (if there is one) or the inside cover. Insert the 'meaning of prayer' page next. 6) Now it's time to insert the 9 prayers in order with their coloring picture. Two longer prayers need an extra page. There are 14 images and two blank spaces, which can be inserted next to the prayers according to your child's wishes. Voilá... The little prayer book is ready for prayers!

The world relay champion is always learning and his next lesson comes at the Müller Indoor Grand Prix
World champion sprinter Adam Gemili insists he is constantly learning about his sport, and the education will continue this weekend in Glasgow when he competes in the 60m at the Müller Indoor Grand Prix.
The shorter sprint is not something which comes particularly high on his list of priorities, what with a Commonwealth Games to prepare for rather than the impending IAAF World Indoor Championships. Yet he will be using the visit to Scotland to discover more about himself and identify any weaknesses that could stand in the way of success outdoors this year.
"I'm excited to be competing," says Gemili of the meeting at the Emirates Arena.
"I think different people are going to be using this weekend for different things.
"I use it to improve my start, which has never really been great, and this weekend will be a chance to put into practice some of the things I've been working on in training.
"In the first 60 metres I always give away a lot to other athletes, then I always have to try and come through, but if I can stay closer to the others and then run what I have been doing in training I should run a good time here and hopefully be in the mix.
"Then, hopefully, that will translate into the 100m outdoors."
"You've always got to look to improve and the day you stop doing that is the day you should stop I think because you've lost the love for it"
Gemili is happy to experiment ahead of championships competition, but insists he always knows when to flick that mental switch and concentrate all of his energies on getting the job done at the right time.
"There are a few technical aspects and models that I've been working on this winter and we'll see how they come out," he adds. "They might all fail but it's learning – every race involves learning right up until the championships and then you need to get it right there.
"I think I've got a pretty good habit of doing that. I might not get it right on the circuit but when it matters I can perform and to me that's the most important thing.
"Darren Campbell said that to me when I first came into the sport – he told me to use every race to learn. Even if you lose every race right up until the championships, as long as you perform there it's all that matters and that's all people will remember. That's stuck with me.
"I'm mentally better when I'm competing and the higher the level of competition, the more that's at stake, the more I fire off that."
Gemili's excitement is clear about his impending return to the Commonwealth Games, the event in which he won his first senior medal. He has 100m and 4x100m silver medals from Glasgow but it's safe to say he will be looking for an upgrade this time.
"It put me on a good platform and gave me a lot of confidence in my ability," he says. "I got two silvers in Glasgow and now I obviously want to go two better."
Before April, however, the education will continue.
"The one thing that other athletes have taught me is that no-one is ever the finished article or the perfect athlete," says the 24-year-old. "Even Usain Bolt had so many things that he would always work on and learn.
"You've always got to look to improve and the day you stop doing that is the day you should stop I think because you've lost the love for it.
"I don't think you'll ever meet an athlete after a race who says 'that was a perfect race'. I don't think anyone is ever 100 per cent happy with a race they have done."
