Here's What You Need To Know About Replacing Breast Implants
The FDA recommends replacing breast implants every 10 years, but that's not the only reason women choose to swap them out. The AEDITION asked an expert to explain what to expect from the replacement procedure.
Written by Samantha Stone

While breast implants come with a lifetime warranty on the implant device, they are not actually meant to last a lifetime. It is recommended that both silicone breast implants and saline breast implants be replaced every 10 years or so, but that is not the only reason women opt to swap them out. The natural aging process, pregnancy, and weight fluctuations can all affect the size and projection of the breasts, and replacing implants may be able to address these changes in appearance. So, what does a breast implant replacement procedure entail? The AEDITION breaks it down.
Why You Need To Replace Breast Implants
Generally speaking, it is recommended that patients replace their implants every 10 years. That wisdom is largely based on a 2011 report from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) about the safety of silicone breast implants. It found that the longer someone has them, the more likely they are to experience localized complications (think: deflation or rupture).
In the study, 20 percent of women with silicone gel-filled breast implants required removal or replacement within 10 years of implantation. For patients who do not experience issues with their implants, surgeons may advise that it is not necessary to change them. "The newest implants are the fifth-generation silicone implants," says Melissa Doft, MD, a double board certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon in New York City. "They are much sturdier than earlier generations — meaning the shell does not break down as quickly and they are less likely to leak."
But that doesn't mean breast implant replacements aren't common. "The implants are constantly improving, so the implants today will be inferior to the ones in 20 years," Dr. Doft explains. "Many patients elect to upgrade." In addition to receiving a more high-tech implant, the procedure allows patients to revise or refine the results of a previous procedure.
The Longevity of Silicone vs. Saline Breast Implants
Saline implants have a similar longevity (i.e. a decade) to their silicone counterparts, though there is a key distinction. "The biggest difference between the two is how they are monitored," Dr. Doft says. As she explains it, when a silicone implant ruptures, it is considered a 'silent rupture' because the gel tends to be contained in the scar tissue capsule the body forms around the implant. As a result, the rupture is only detectable via imaging, like an ultrasound or MRI.
On the contrary, if a saline implant ruptures, the salt water is absorbed by the body and there is an observable loss of fullness in the breast. "The rate of deflation of a saline implant is one percent per year," she explains. "The rate of rupture for the fifth generation implants by Sientra and Allergan is about nine percent over 10 years."
For implant patients who are concerned about potential complications, Dr. Doft says size matters. "Using the smallest implant that will achieve your goals is the best precautionary measurement," she shares. "It is well known that smaller implants have significantly less complications."
Breast Implant Replacement Surgery
The breast implant replacement procedure is similar to the initial breast implant surgery. "If you have decided to change your implant because you have had them for a long time, you want to switch from saline to silicone, or they are textured and you are worried about developing ALCL but you have no visual changes, it is easy to replace them and you should have a very similar result," Dr. Doft explains. "The goal of the surgery is to have a beautiful soft result and usually this can be achieved."
It should be noted, however, that there may be challenges that were not present during the original breast augmentation. An abundance of scar tissue, for example, may make the revision surgery more complex. "If you are replacing the implant because of capsular contracture — scarring around the implant which has caused a visual change or made the implants painful — changing them is a longer operation and more tricky," Dr. Doft says.
Choosing New Implants
When considering a breast implant revision or replacement, patients should first consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to evaluate the current situation. During the consultation, the surgeon will get to know the patient's aesthetic goals and help determine the best type (silicone gel versus saline), shape, and size of implant for the revision.
"When patients wish to change their implants, they often consider changing the size of the implant," Dr. Doft says. She has noticed a change in aesthetic trends over the years, with the preference for larger implants in the 1990s and early 2000s moving toward smaller ones in recent years. "Patients often had larger implants placed when they were younger and, now that they have aged, find that the larger implant feels heavy and can make them look too busty or too bulky," she says. "These patients also tend to elect to have smaller implants."
For women who are exchanging their implants after pregnancy due to deflation or ptosis (read: sagging), however, a larger implant may be preferred. "Sometimes, by placing a slightly larger implant, the sagging can be removed," she says. "In a nutshell, I think older patients often decrease the size or stay the same size, and younger patients and postpartum patients stay the same or increase in volume."
Procedures to Pair with a Breast Implant Replacement
While a larger breast implant may be able to correct postpartum breast changes in some patients, it is not always enough. "If their breasts have changed from weight loss or pregnancy, often women will have a breast lift at the same time," Dr. Doft shares. But that's not all. "Many times, patients will also have a separate procedure — like liposuction, abdominoplasty, or blepharoplasty — to optimize their downtime," she adds.
Recovering From a Breast Implant Replacement
While recovery depends on the patient and specifics of the procedure, many women find the healing process less painful than their original surgery. "Many American surgeons place the implant under the pectoralis muscle when performing the initial operation," Dr. Doft explains. "The surgeon creates a new space that had not existed and the implant applies pressure on pectoralis muscle causing postoperative pain."
In the replacement procedure, that space does not need to be recreated. "The pocket has already been created, so there is significantly less pain after the surgery," she says. "Most patients return to work in a few days."
Whether you've had your implants for more than a decade or are looking to reverse the effects of aging, pregnancy, or weight changes, breast implant replacement procedures allow patients to refine the results of previous breast surgeries. In addition to changing the size and shape of the chest, the procedure can be coupled with additional cosmetic surgery procedures (think: breast lift, liposuction, abdominoplasty) to maximize the downtime and results.

Being the third busiest airport in Australia, the Brisbane Airport is located right on the eastern coast of Brisbane, approximately 14 kilometres to the north east of the Brisbane CBD. On a good day with no major traffic hassles, it is about a 15 minute drive, but it is always good to allow plenty of time due to the Brisbane traffic. The airport has an IATA reference of BNE.
Brisbane Airport is divided into two distinct terminals, domestic and international that are a couple of kilometres away from each other. However, the good news is that there is an inter-terminal shuttle that operates for all valid ticket holders.
The current Brisbane domestic terminal was opened in 1988 to coincide with World Expo 88. The two storey terminal has everything that you need, such as ATM's, currency exchange, newsagency, pharmacy, a range of eateries and bars, as well as both Qantas and Virgin guest lounges.
Check in facilities for all flights are on the ground floor, with all arrivals and departures on the upper floor. Currently Qantas, Virgin Australia , Qantaslink, Virgin Australia Regional Airlines, Jetstar, Tigerair, Cobham, Sunstate, Regional Express Airlines operate from the domestic terminal. There is a multi-story car-park that is adjacent to the domestic terminal.
The international was completed in 1995, and is a four storey terminal building. Level 1 is used by baggage handlers, tourism operators and airlines, Level 2 is dedicated to arrivals, Level 3 is the departure lounges and Level 4 is reserved for check in. There is a five story car-park that is adjacent to the international terminal.
The airport currently has two runways in operation, with a third runway that began construction in 2014. Every year the domestic and international terminals handle over 21 million passengers. There are 26 different airlines that operate from the Brisbane Airport, which provide over 42 national and 28 international destinations.
The Brisbane Airport is easily accessible by car, taxi, limousine and shuttle. There is also the Airtrain which runs from the Brisbane CBD and the Gold Coast to both terminals at the airport.
Here a a few things to do when visiting Brisbane.

Do you need to protect against your employees leaving you and then poaching your clients or customers?
At Hollingsworths we provide expert advice on the restrictive covenants contained within employment contracts - and can draft one for you if you business doesn't already have one.
Restrictive covenants can be enforced by employers against employees - provided that those contractual clauses are no wider than are necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of the employer. To be enforceable, the wording must be exactly right, so it's important that you have a carefully drafted clause in the employment contract.
We regularly advise both employers and employees on restrictive covenants in employment contracts, both before and after a dispute arises. We also give advice on their enforceability and can prevent employees from unlawfully competing with their former employers, including providing assistance with injunction applications.
Our experience in this area has included appearing in the High Court and Court of Appeal, and we have particular knowledge of restrictive covenants in the financial services sector, where we advise financial advisers on their use.

Widely used in gauge clusters, switches, stock radios, climate control, and warning and indicator lamps.
White is universally acceptable for the above uses.
In appropriate uses, color leds will be more vibrant.
Blue / Green can be used interchangeably behind blue and green filters.
Red can generally only be used behind an orange or red filter.
Amber can generally only be used behind yellow/amber lens.
Recommend for replacing commonly used indicator lights such as turn signals, cruise control, high-beam, and 4x4.
Not Recommended for replacing warning lights (check engine, check gauges, airbag fault, etc) because there is little benefit due to how seldom those lamps and used. The stock bulbs are also proven to be highly reliable, while LEDs are unfortunately, not.
1WL-20P is generally better for climate control use.
These LEDs are confirmed to be great replacements for rocker switch backlight and warning lamps. Stock sockets are generally reusable, but there may be cases where new sockets are needed.
Replacing any other bulb in the gauge cluster requires replacement sockets (1WL-20N) AND removal or modification of the gauge cluster's rear protective cover. There is not enough clearance between the gauge cluster and the protective cover for the new sockets to fit. Removal or modification (cutting holes into the cover) may increase risk of water intrusion should a windshield seal fail, the windshield be left down, or the vehicle exposed to heavy rain with the top removed.

Little Anthony & The Imperials
Little Anthony and the Imperials is a rhythm and blues/soul/doo-wop vocal group from New York, first active in the 1950s. Lead singer Jerome Anthony "Little Anthony" Gourdine was noted for his high-pitched falsetto voice, influenced by Jimmy Scott. The group was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on April 4, 2009, 23 years after the group's first year of eligibility for induction, waiting longer than any other artist for the honor.
In 1957, a doo-wop group known as the Chesters existed with members Clarence Collins, Tracy Lord, Nathaniel Rodgers, and Ronald Ross. Anthony Gourdine, a former member of the Duponts, joined as lead vocalist. Ernest Wright took over from Ross, and the group recorded briefly for Apollo Records.
Changing their name to the Imperials, they signed with End Records in 1958. Their first single was "Tears on My Pillow", which was an instant hit. (While playing this song, D.J. Alan Freed came up with the name "Little Anthony".) The B-side, "Two People in the World", was also a hit. The group followed up with "Shimmy, Shimmy, Ko Ko Bop" in 1960. When their success dwindled in 1961, Little Anthony left to attempt a solo career. Some members left, and the line-up then became Collins, Wright, Sammy Strain, and George Kerr. Kerr was replaced by Kenny Seymour after a short time. This line-up had little success.
Little Anthony returned in 1963, replacing Seymour. The group's classic line-up – Gourdine, Ernest Wright, Clarence Collins, and Sammy Strain – was now complete. With the help of record producer/songwriter Teddy Randazzo (a childhood friend of the group), the Imperials found success on the new DCP (Don Costa Productions) label with the dramatic pop-soul records "I'm On The Outside (Looking In)" (1964), "Goin' Out Of My Head" (1964), "Hurt So Bad" (1965), "I Miss You So" (1965), "Take Me Back" (1965), "Hurt" (1966), and "Out of Sight, Out Of Mind" (1969). In 1965, the Imperials appeared on the CBS-TV special Murray The K – It's What's Happening, Baby, where they performed…

Death by Grammar: Woes in English Communication.
English is called the universal language. The Filipinos' exposure to English was pronounced in the course of the American's residence in the Philippines and was not limited in schools alone, the language is widely used everywhere; at the government, businesses and industries, mass media and social institutions. It is considered a sign of sophistication and education if one can converse fluently in the English language. Throughout the colonization of the Americans, the cultural influence was so extensive that the Filipinos spoke the English language with a relatively same manner as these native speakers. Sometimes, we go as far as to sensor and look down on each other for not being able to have an impeccable grammar. Where native English speakers do not really mind if a non-native attempt to converse in broken English, majority of "schooled" Filipinos shame their own countrymen instead of educating them.
As time went on, the people who run the Philippine educational system realized that in the aspect of preserving the Filipino's cultural identity, a shift was necessitated. The educational system has given emphasis to the shift from English to Filipino language. Subjects which were discussed in English has now been taught in Filipino and extended outside of the classroom. And where government publications, businesses and other transactions still use the English language for some technical terms that the Filipino language do not have, English and Filipino has relatively become the two official language in the Philippines and you will find two versions and translations within a document.
Because of this shift, the current generation of Filipino students have not had much opportunity to practice the English language, and because we do not speak English to each other at home, the student develops a dilemma with their communication skill in the English language. They find it difficult to convey their thoughts and emotions because they scramble to structure their Filipino language into English and the result could be problematic. The lack or absence of coherence and cohesion of the acknowledgment can be misunderstood and there is risk of miscommunication.
As a non-native speaker and English as a Second language teacher, I am sympathetic of my students who struggle to express their thoughts in English. Despite my fluency, I still struggle in many chunks of the English language, obviously, I'm sure anyone who reads this may find errors in my syntax still. Which is why it is very important for teachers to learn and gain patience and to continuously find improved techniques for a simpler and clear instructions especially for beginner students. As basic communication involves reading, listening & writing, by experience, it is also best to give emphasis on these other skills as they all go hand-in-hand together. It is impossible not to learn how to write the words if you only know how to read. How can your student identify what he's reading if he do not know how to write it, in the same way, you cannot miss a word when you hear it because you also know how to write and read it.
On my next post, I will try to illustrate how I initiate my students to the English language and what strategy I find effective in teaching the language.
My ESL teaching is now powered by PLDT!

Q: How to set dom node's correct width with [ position : fixed ]? I need a div fixed on the top of the page using position : fixed.
But if the browser's size is changed the div's width will changed because fixed node's parent is the screen not the parent DOM node.
How can I set position : fixed node's width corresponding to the parent node not full screen?

A: You can't make position:fixed relative to any parent. It's always the browsers window.
You can, however, make position:absolute relative to another object. With margin settings of -x or -y you can even make it hover over the original element's position, but still relative.
To make position:fixed or absolute relative to window size or parent size, respectively, use percentages:

p {
  position:fixed;
  left:10%;
  right:10%;
  top:10%;
  bottom:10%;
  background-color:green;
  }

1000 Acres (my favorite park in the whole wide world) was pretty much a mud pit. At least that's what Mom said anyhow. Toby took the grassier side and almost got caught in a bramble, but I forged ahead, up the hill, in the mud.
We have to stay on-leash until we get out of the parking lot. That's the rules, Mom says. She said she could get a BIG, HUGE fine. Yuck.
It's the only outdoor place Mom trusts me to be off-leash and I'm really good there. Not sure what's up with that, but it's so big that I can run and run and run and still see Mom and come back when she calls me.
There were so many sniffs we had to take. Who's been here? Is that a horse I smell? Hey, Toby! I smell a mouse too. What are you smelling?
I could feel a huge case of the zoomies coming on.

UCI researchers launch first-of-its-kind coronavirus statistics portal
Site provides comparisons between Orange County, other jurisdictions
"Every county reports its coronavirus stats, but useful knowledge can be gained by holding up the numbers against other counties and normalizing by population size, which is what we have done," says Vladimir Minin, a professor of statistics who led the team responsible for designing and developing UCI's new COVID-19 statistical trends website. Vladimir Minin / UCI
Irvine, Calif., Aug. 10, 2020 — Scientists at the University of California, Irvine have unveiled a public website that provides up-to-date statistics on coronavirus infections in Orange County, with comparisons to neighboring and other California counties.
The site displays information collected from the California Open Data Portal in an easily comprehended format, giving visitors quick access to the most relevant data on hospitalized patients with COVID-19, intensive care unit patients, new daily cases and new daily deaths caused by the disease. It also offers color-coded Orange County maps, produced by UCI assistant professor of public health Daniel Parker, that show spatial patterns of growth in the number of cases, the number of tests and the fractions of positive tests from March through July.
Charts on the homepage reveal how the pandemic is affecting Alameda, Los Angeles, Orange, San Diego and Santa Clara counties. According to the developers, this is the first website to provide county-to-county comparisons of key coronavirus statistics.
"There is no shortage of COVID-19-related data visualizations out in the world, but what has been lacking is a platform for easy visualization and comparison of trends in California's counties," said Vladimir Minin, a UCI professor of statistics who led the team responsible for designing and creating the site. "Every county reports its coronavirus stats, but useful knowledge can be gained by holding up the numbers against other counties and normalizing by population size, which is what we have done."
He said that hospitalization data in Orange County had become "alarming" in recent weeks and that the situation was even more explicitly dire when compared to other similar population centers in California.
"For example, Southern California residents may think that Los Angeles County is still an outlier in terms of being affected by the coronavirus spread, but the displayed trends clearly show that L.A. and Orange counties recently have become much closer to each other in some of the COVID-19 metrics," Minin said.
In the future, the website team plans to add testing tallies, which are not available from all counties but are reported by L.A. and O.C. They also intend to increase the county comparisons.
Minin noted that the numbers backing up the charts, graphs and maps are based on seven-day moving averages, updated daily, and that the site's images and code are shared under the most permissive public domain licenses to facilitate free use by entities outside UCI.
"What we're doing is really simple from a technological standpoint," said collaborator Padhraic Smyth, UCI Chancellor's Professor of computer science, "but we felt that it was important to provide this type of data to individuals and the public in general to help inform their decision-making."
The resource was developed under the guidance of an ad hoc COVID-19 awareness group at UCI that comprises members from the Department of Statistics, the Program in Public Health, the Center for Virus Research and the Infectious Disease Science Initiative. The group members' research is supported by the National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health.
The website was built and is being maintained by Damon Bayer, Isaac Goldstein and Rachel Longjohn, Ph.D. students in the Donald Bren School of Information & Computer Sciences' Department of Statistics.
About the University of California, Irvine: Founded in 1965, UCI is the youngest member of the prestigious Association of American Universities. The campus has produced three Nobel laureates and is known for its academic achievement, premier research, innovation and anteater mascot. Led by Chancellor Howard Gillman, UCI has more than 36,000 students and offers 222 degree programs. It's located in one of the world's safest and most economically vibrant communities and is Orange County's second-largest employer, contributing $5 billion annually to the local economy.

Junk Lounge evolves their menu to showcase local ingredients with traditional Asian flavours
Larry Heath
Sydney's Junk Lounge, which sits above the Cruise Bar at the International Passenger Terminal, has this week introduced a new menu to its Asian-inspired dining experience, providing a wider selection of dishes to be enjoyed from 5pm to late, Wednesdays to Sundays.
Behind the changes is chef Patrick Haney, who operates the kitchen for both the Junk Lounge upstairs and the more casual dining you'll find in the Cruise Bar downstairs (Fish and Chips et al.). Hailing from San Diego, it's fair to say that on either menu you're going to find fusion dishes, with Japanese flavours a big focus of the Junk Lounge menu – but look out for the odd American influence too, particularly on the menu downstairs (he points to the fried chicken in particulate).
Haney has been head chef since December 2015, a position he took on just four months after coming on board as sous chef when Junk Lounge first opened after a refurbishment of the venue. Back then, the menu was more diverse than what they came to serve in more recent years; a simplified menu that focused primarily on skewers and dumplings. But between the meals the staff made for themselves, and the dishes that helped launch the establishment, it's clear that the reduced menu was never going to be enough for Patrick or his team. And indeed, that's what this new menu is welcoming – reinvigorated dishes from the past, and new dishes that have inspired the kitchen in recent years.
Taking a seat by the large windows, the Junk Lounge is both intimate and expansive, with comfortable seating and flair inspired by the "junk" trading ships of Asia. All this accompanied by a beautiful view of the Opera House and Circular Quay on some days, and a front on look at a cruise ship on others (naturally the former is preferred).
While the new menu is bringing a wider expanse of options to customers, the Junk Lounge knows their dumplings and skewers have worked – and they have no intention of taking them off the menu. In fact, there are new additions here too. The pulled pork dumplings are a highlight, braised for six hours and served with a spicy vinegar dip they make in house; their dumplings being hand made in the kitchen too. The Pork Belly skewers, meanwhile, with their take on a plum sauce, are a must off the skewers menu.
The wider menu does remain largely focused on sharing; but some dishes will be harder to share than others. The nori-wrapped beef with freshly foraged mushrooms is one that you'd fit on the harder side – best for a party of two, the beautiful cuts of beef are served with white fungi mushrooms, with an earthy purée, which is so good you'll struggle to share it. The earthy texture of the purée may throw some as an accompaniment to what is essentially a steak, but the flavours are extraordinary.
The Seared Sesame tuna is another new addition, though based on a dish that debuted with the initial launch of the restaurant some three years ago. The tuna, which has a beautiful, light crunch to its coating, is served with gochujang purée, which you might expect on duck or pork rather than tuna (almost like a hoisin), but it pairs nicely. Also presented on the beautiful plate you'll find wasabi mayo, aioli and fish eggs. I recommend getting a little bit of everything in any bite – though honestly the tuna is so good you would happily eat it by itself.
Moving onto the mains, the table grilled snapper is not just a delicious, healthy dish, but also an experience in its own right, as they prepare the meal at the table; turning the fish for you before serving it over soba noodles with a dashi seaweed stock broth, with vegetables, soy, sugar, ginger, chili and more adding to the flavour. We were told they plan to change this dish in the months ahead, with a "fish of the day" replacing the snapper – so they can experiment with different fish, fresh from the markets. To say the least, Chef Patrick Haney was passionate about getting locals to eat a wider variety of fish.
All of this was washed down with a couple of cocktails. First, on the left, is the Rhubarb Fiji with Johnnie Walker black, honey water and rhubarb shrub and rhubarb bitters.
But it was the Sensei Sam, on the right, which proved the highlight, with ketel one, frangelico, lemon juice and vanilla syrup with freshly cut pears. A meal in its own right, make sure you leave room for a couple. And don't forget dessert, too.
This mound of chocolate mousse was among the finest mousse I've ever had, served with microwave cakes and yuzu on a thin piece of a chocolate. Of course this dish and everything in this piece is but a taste of the impressively diverse and experimental menu, which is available now.
Junk Lounge (Cruise Bar)
Located at the International Passenger Terminal at Sydney's Circular Quay, Junk Lounge is open Wednesday to Sunday from 5pm to close.

A group of 6 dietitians working with children and adults with PKU (and other metabolic conditions) have decided to go on the PKU diet for 1 week as a challenge to raise awareness about this rare condition.
I have decided to keep a diary for the week and write a blog post each evening with my day's food intake and some thoughts / comments for the day….here goes!
Today is the first day of my '7 day, 7 exchange Dietitian's PKU challenge' and I have to admit I am feeling a little apprehensive about the week. Last year I was really hungry for most of the week, so I am determined to keep my energy levels up this week. I am planning to go for a run tomorrow morning, so I will need to make sure I have enough fuel on board for that.
1 Weetabix (20g = 2 exchanges) with Alpro coconut milk, fresh mango and a cup of tea with coconut milk.
Later….Apple cut up with Coconut Collaborative coconut yoghurt (45g = 1 exchange), a sprinkling of cinnamon and a drizzle of honey…delicious!
I am feeling optimistic for Day 2 and for the rest of the week's PKU challenge!


A two-story antique barn with comfortable indoor and outdoor seating sits at the end of Main Street, almost literally where the sidewalk ends. Hardwood floors and unique accent lighting create a homey feel, most certainly not something that could be recreated online or at a big box bookstore. When you walk in, you are transformed to a different world away from the noise and traffic of the main road. Tables scattered around the room feature local and bestselling authors and the shelves contain a wide range of titles in many genres, and oftentimes a synopsis or personal review accompanies the selection. On top of this, there is a children's annex bookstore attached, coffee available for purchase, a toy and craft area, and personable staff available to help with recommendations on anything from a book, favorite beach, or best restaurant in town.
Chatham, Massachusetts, remains one of the most iconic beach vacation destinations in the Northeast. The spectacular coastline on the elbow of Cape Cod brings an average of 20-25,000 visitors to the small town in July and August alone. During a walk through the historic Main Street in Chatham, you will find the locally mother-daughter-owned bookstore, Where the Sidewalk Ends, which has been in business for over a decade.
Shopping at a local bookstore means less transportation, less packaging, and a smaller carbon footprint. It also means that more of your money will stay in the community and help create higher-paying jobs for your neighbors in the long run while more of your taxes are reinvested locally. On top of this, local businesses donate to charities at more than twice the rate of national chains. With all of these positive reasons to shop local, why are customers still turning to retailers like Amazon for all of their literary needs? Shopping local may cost a few extra dollars, but it also comes with a personal experience that book selling giants can't compete with.
All of the small characteristics of Where the Sidewalk Ends are what creates the customer experience that sets the store apart from bookselling online. The fact that someone is there to assist you, give you reviews in real-time, and provide a desirable atmosphere for selecting your next read contributes to the experience you will have with the book itself.
Co-owner Caitlin Doggart-Bernal opened the store with her mother in 2005 and says that her favorite part of owning a local bookstore is the chance to connect on a personal level with so many other readers, from the staff, to the authors, to the wonderful customers. "Stories have such power on a personal level for so many people," Doggart-Bernal says, "and it's nice to be surrounded by people who also feel that spark."
In response to customers using services like Amazon instead of shopping local, Doggart-Bernal admits, "It is like a punch to the gut when people wander in and exclaim about how charming our bookstore is and get advice on local restaurants and then inform us that they aren't going to buy 'This Particular Book' because they can get it for less on Amazon. Which comes down to a few dollars, and the environmental costs of shipping. So we'll try to pleasantly remind them that supporting small businesses is what keeps our town alive." Without local businesses, Chatham and many other historic destinations would lose their small-town charm.
To better engage customers and emphasize the special importance of buying local, Where the Sidewalk Ends does their best to create a community space for people to gather and talk about books, as well as supporting the town of Chatham. They invite authors in for readings and book signings, in addition to hosting weekly Wednesday Story Time for children of all ages. They also make donations to local fundraising events and schools, recently expanded their children's area to be stroller friendly, and even set out a dog water bowl on the deck to welcome visiting pets – all things Amazon can't do.
While Amazon and other major booksellers are an issue for the indie bookstore community and pose a new challenge than what small business owners would have faced twenty years ago, such as cheaper prices and fast shipping, there is still a great amount of support for the underdogs.
Despite what appears to be a troublesome time for indie bookstores based on the success of major chains and availability of cheaper options, there is still plenty of magic to be had in the experience of buying local.

Going Pro: Making Film Trailers Using iMovie and Final Cut Pro X
Iain Anderson on Sun, August 28th 0 comments
If you use FCP X and want to make professional-looking movie trailers, don't dismiss using the free iMovie. Here's how to start a trailer in iMovie then give it some polish in Final Cut Pro X.
While Final Cut Pro is certainly much more advanced than iMovie, the two apps share more than a few similarities—and apparently large chunks of source code too. That's great for anyone who wants to start in iMovie, because they won't feel too overwhelmed when they outgrow it and move up to FCP X. However, when they do, they might find that they're missing a couple of consumer-focused features, and one big one is trailers. Here, we'll see how you can start a trailer in iMovie, but finish it in FCP X.
Many different kinds of trailers can be used as a starting point
So what are Trailers anyway?
In iMovie for iOS and the current version for Mac, you have the choice of creating a Movie or a Trailer. A Movie is more or less a free-form edit, and though you do have Themes to help you, you'll be picking your own shots and assembling them however you wish. A Trailer is template-based and quite different: you're presented instead with an outline full of changeable titles and a storyboard full of specific kinds of shots—medium, group, etc.—that you provide. Shoot all the videos, add custom text to the matched titles, and then the predefined music will bring it all together and make you look like an editing genius. Even if you're an experienced editor, it's a fun way to get the family involved in a video project.
Getting iPhone shots into your trailer is easy
Starting on iOS, then moving to Mac
The Trailer feature works very nicely indeed on iOS, and works on both the iPhone and the iPad. My daughter has made several pretty scary horror movie trailers already, and being able to shoot and edit on the same device couldn't really be more convenient. With that in mind, if you know that you want to shoot at least a few shots on an iPhone or iPad, go ahead and do that now. Tap on those shots in the Storyboard, then tap on Camera, then shoot away. However, if you want to shoot on another camera, just leave the shots empty.
As an introduction to moviemaking, an iPad or an iPhone is a great place to begin, but if you want to get more serious, you'll probably want to shoot on another camera, and move the project over to a Mac. That step is easy if you have AirDrop set up on both devices.
Share, share away—it'll appear on your Mac shortly
With your iOS device next to your Mac and both on the same Wi-Fi network, choose the Share icon, tap your nearby Mac at the top of the Share overlay, then tap "iMovie Project". On your Mac, look in Downloads to find a new ".iMovieTrailer" file, then double-click to open it in iMovie. (If you don't have AirDrop, it's also possible to use iCloud Drive or iTunes file sharing to share an iMovie Trailer, so try those methods if AirDrop fails.)
The Shot List could be a handy way to make sure you've got all the shots you need
Starting on Mac
Sending an iOS Trailer to your Mac will put you in much the same position as starting from scratch on your Mac, excepting, of course, that you'll have to shoot your footage separately. The only real difference here is that there's one additional tab in addition to the Outline and Storyboard tabs—there's a new Shot List tab which groups the shots according to their shot type.
As before, if you have the shots here in iMovie and ready to go, simply drop them in. Again, there's no problem if your shots are in Final Cut Pro X, and you'd rather add them there instead. However, if you're planning on using the built-in titles, it's a good idea to finalize them now, because they're going to be hard to edit later.
Two simple commands in the File menu
Moving from iMovie to FCP X
When you're as done as you want to be here in iMovie, you'll have to convert it into a Movie, and then send that Movie to FCP X. Choose File > Convert Trailer to Movie, and your Trailer will become a regular movie. No more drag and drop, but you can still edit the titles if you need to. Next, choose File > Send Movie to Final Cut Pro.
The iMovie project as it appears in FCP X
FCP X will open, and in a new "iMovie Library" you'll see a new Project. The iMovie Library will be in your home directory, in the Movies folder, but you can simply drag your Project into any other Library you have open if you prefer to store your Project elsewhere. So far, so good—what next?
Replace from Start is the magic command you probably want, but you can Replace from End or use Auditions if you prefer
Adding clips in FCP X
Here in FCP X, you'll find a few small limitations. You can no longer edit the text of your titles (including opening and closing credits) so you'd have to edit them in iMovie and re-export to get hold of new ones. However, all the named shots (close-up, wide, etc.) are here, including the original descriptive text, and it's trivial to replace them with your shots.
Select the clip you want to replace on the timeline by Option-clicking on it. This selects the clip and moves the playhead above it so you can clearly see what you're doing. Click on the clip you want to put there, then hover where you want the shot to start, and press I to set an in point. Press Option-R to Replace from Start. This swaps in your new shot, from your chosen time, and keeps the length of the existing timeline clip.
Dragging on a clip with the Trim tool shifts both the In and Out points by the same number of frames
If you find that you've got the wrong clip, repeat those steps with another clip, or if you want to use a different part of the current clip, "slip" it by switching to the Trim tool and then dragging sideways on the middle of the clip in the timeline. The length will stay the same, but an earlier or later part of the clip will now be seen.
Drag a light leak clip above, then use Screen, Overlay or perhaps Multiply to add flair
Refining in FCP X
This is where you get free rein: add whatever effects or transitions you want. Use custom color corrections or looks. Add light leaks with blend modes above the existing clips. Replace the titles with your own ones. Augment the music with filters and add sound effects. Add new shots, and swap or chop up existing shots. Add a secret bonus scene after the end credits. When you're done, publish it any way you like.
Haven't you always wanted your name in lights?
Final Cut Pro X provides extensive controls for the professional editor, but it also provides an obvious step up from iMovie for novices. Pulling a trailer into FCP X can be a great way to figure out how you'd make your own from scratch, or simply a way to have fun with your kids while using the professional tool you know best. Either way, Trailers are worth a second look.

The Flemish environment minister Joke Schauvliege is bringing forward legislation to ban smoking in motor cars when there are minors present in the vehicle.
Federal legislators have hoped to settle this issue for a while now. Various proposals are on the table, but Belgium's regions are unwilling to wait any longer for a breakthrough in the federation. The Walloon region has already legislated and Flanders is now poised to do so.
Walloons smoking in the car with children risk a 50 euro fine. How much the fine will be in Flanders isn't yet clear, but the Flemish environment minister Joke Schauvliege believes a ban can now count on an all-party consensus north of the linguistic divide: "In Wallonia they settled this under environment powers. It's pure logic that I should take a similar initiative here."
The Flemish ban could be on the statutes by the summer, but would only become law by 2019. Motorists still wanting to smoke with their kids in their car will then have to stick within the confines of the Brussels region if they don't wish to pay a fine!


Smoke detectors should be tested monthly and batteries should be changed out at least once a year.
Fire Extinguisher must be visible, readily accessible, with proof of service or purchase within the past 12 months.
Manual Fire Alarm Device must be present and functional.
Fire Drill Records must be available and show a fire drill has been conducted at least once every 6 months.
Exiting doors must be in working order and exit paths free of obstructions. At least 2 exits are required.

Q: Generating objects with position in Maya using Python I have some code that uses Python to read some data from a file, and then while still using Python generates an object in Maya based on the file. Everything is working good and the object comes out looking correctly. The problem is however that non of the segments that the object is made up of has a correct actual position, the Translate XYZ is set to 0 for all of them, even though they look correctly. The problem with this is that when I later on import the model into Unity3D I can't interact with the objects properly as the position is still at 0 while the mesh is were it should be. Is there some correct way to generate objects to make them have a position?
The code calls multiple functions to make different segments (one example of one of these functions is shown below). Then it uses maya.cmds.polyUnite to make it into one object. This is then repeated using a for-loop that runs for some amount of times (specified in the file). This for-loop calls cmds.duplicate(object made above) and moves the new object in the z-axis using cmds.move(0, 0, z, duped object). Due to some bad coding the code then calls polyUnite to make it all into one big object and then calls polySeperate to split it into small segements again. Is it possible that this is causing the problem?
Each segment is generated something like this:
    cmds.polyCube(n='leftWall', w=w, h=h, d=d, sw=w, sh=h, sd=d)
    cmds.setAttr('leftWall.translateX', -Bt/float(2)-(THICKNESS/float(2)))
    cmds.setAttr('leftWall.translateY', a)
    cmds.setAttr('leftWall.rotateZ', -90)
    cmds.polyNormal('leftWall', nm=0, unm=0)

    cmds.polyCube(n='rightWall', w=w, h=h, d=d, sw=w, sh=h, sd=d)
    cmds.setAttr('rightWall.translateX', Bt/float(2)+(THICKNESS/float(2)))
    cmds.setAttr('rightWall.translateY', a)
    cmds.setAttr('rightWall.rotateZ', 90)
    cmds.polyNormal('rightWall', nm=0, unm=0)

    cmds.polyUnite('leftWall', 'rightWall', n='walls')
    addTexture('walls', 'wall.jpg')

Præsidentvalget i USA 1852 var det 17. præsidentvalg i USA, der blev afholdt tirsdag den 2. november 1852. Demokraten Franklin Pierce, en tidligere senator fra New Hampshire, besejrede Whigpartiets nominerede general Winfield Scott.

Den siddende whig-præsident Millard Fillmore havde overtaget præsidentposten i 1850 efter præsident Zachary Taylors død. Hans støtte til 1850-kompromiset og håndhævelsen af loven om slaver på flugt (Fugitive Slave Law) gav Fillmore vælgerstøtte i Syden og blev mødt med kritik fra vælgere i Norden. Ved Whigpartiets konvent i 1852 besejrede Winfield Scott derfor Millard Fillmore og blev partiets præsidentkandidat. Demokraterne delte sig blandt fire store kandidater ved det demokratiske konvent i 1852 . Ved den 49. afstemning vandt outsider-kandidaten Franklin Pierce nominering ved et konsensus-kompromis. Free Soil Partiet, der var imod udvidelsen af slaveriet i USA, nominerede New Hampshire Senator John P. Hale.

Med få politiske forskelle mellem de to store kandidater blev præsidentvalget i sidste ende en personlighedskonkurrence. Selvom Scott havde kommanderet i den mexicansk-amerikanske krig, tjente Pierce også. Scott havde ry for at være mod slaveriet, hvilket skadede hans chancer i Syden.

Pierce og hans vicepræsidentkandidat William R. King vandt et komfortabelt sejr, hvor de bl.a. lykkes med at vinde 27 ud af de 31 delstater. Pierce vandt den højeste andel af valgmandsstemmerne siden James Monroes vandt genvalg i 1820.

Free Soil Partiet, som i 1848 havde modtaget mere end 10% af stemmerne på nationalt plan, fik tilbagegang og modtog mindre end fem procent af stemmerne. Det overvældende nederlag og uenighed om slaveri fik efterfølgende Whigpartiet til at gå i opløsning. De medlemmer af Whigpartiet, som var modstander af slaveriet ville gå sammen med medlemmer fra Free Soil Partiet og skabe det nye republikanske parti.

Ikke før 1876 ville demokraterne på ny vinde et flertal af stemmerne på nationalt plan, og først i 1932 ville de igen vinde et flertal blandt både vælgerstemmerne og valgkollegiet.

German company penalised for 'Bhopal sister' plant accident in US
September 23, 2015 Rox Carter	Leave a comment
A fatal explosion in the pesticide manufacturer's plant in 2008 had led the US environment agency to draw a parallel with Bhopal gas tragedy of 1984
While the victims of Bhopal gas tragedy still await the decision of a US Court on Union Carbide Corporation's liability for 1984 gas leak, a company that manufactures deadly methyl isocyanate (MIC) has been penalised in the US for causing two deaths in another tragedy.
Bayer Cropscience, a German company that manufactures MIC in West Virginia, was penalised for violating accident prevention laws.An explosion in its plant had led to killing of two persons in 2008. The manufacturing unit came to be known as Bhopal's sister plant after environmentalists found that the only other plant after Bhopal that stockpiles MIC was this plant in West Virginia.
The US's Environmental Protection Agency and Department of Justice, on September 21, had announced a US $5.6 million settlement with German pesticide and insecticide manufacturer Bayer CropScience for violations. Bayer CropScience, in March this year, had sold a significant part of the plant to Dow Chemicals, the company that now owns UCC. The plant is situated in an unincorporated township, called Institute, in West Virginia.
Full story to be found here: http://www.downtoearth.org.in/news/german-company-penalised-for-bhopal-sister-plant-accident-in-us-51219
An unending tragedy in India
Bhopal victims, on the other hand, represented by non-profit Earth Rights International (ERI), are hopeful that the American court will honour the new evidence that shows that one UCC employee, Lucas John Couvaras, managed the construction of the plant. Earlier, in June 2012, judges had ruled in favour of UCC's erstwhile chief executive officer Warren Anderson in denying that they faced any individual liability because he did not personally approve the location of the Bhopal plant.
On Monday, the US Environmental Protection Agency, based on complaints of residents of Institute and environmental groups across the world, initiated an investigation of the 2008 incident. During the investigation, as outlined in a 173-page consent document of EPA and Bayer, it was found that safety lapses led to the deadly runaway chemical reaction in 2008. A Congressional investigation even stated that the explosion "came dangerously close" to compromising an MIC storage tank about 24 metres away. Had the burning residue treatment plant hit the tank, "the consequences could have eclipsed the 1984 disaster in Bhopal, India."
The problem area
The complaint details several problems that arose at the pesticide manufacturing facility in the Institute where the company did not comply with its risk management plan designed to prevent accidental releases. In 2008, a new digital control system was installed, but safety interlock associated with the control system was not properly engaged at startup. Employees were not fully trained to understand or operate the system and failed to follow procedures for sampling, temperature control and flow safeguards. The result was an uncontrollable build up in a treatment unit, causing a chemical reaction resulting in explosion, fire and loss of life. During the incident, the company delayed emergency officials trying to access the plant, and failed to provide adequate information to emergency response operators in the country.
Prior to the 2008 explosion, the Coalition against Bayer Dangers (CBG), a non-profit based in Germany, had introduced several countermotions to Bayer's Annual Shareholder Meetings demanding to stop MIC production in Institute, in West Virginia. However, when the non-profit spoke up on the issue four months ahead of the explosion at the shareholder meeting, Bayer CEO Werner Wenning rejected any need for action. "The plant officials said that it conformed to the latest safety standards and had an excellent incident rate," states a release by CBG.
According to Axel Koehler-Schnura of CBG, highly hazardous substances such as phosgene and MIC are not among the mass production products, and certainly not in the vicinity of residential areas. "Ever since the company established itself, Bayer has endeavoured by exerting pressure and making threats to suppress information and criticism–also at Institute. The truth and the interests of humans and the environment are left by the wayside," she added.
However, after the incident in 2008, Bayer announced a plan to curb its MIC stockpile by 80 per cent. Then, in January 2011, Bayer said that it was phasing out the production and use of MIC as part of a corporate restructuring that the company said at the time would cost the neighbouring Kanawha river valley about 220 jobs over several years.
According to a release by EPA, Bayer CropScience will be spending approximately US $452,000 on a series of measures to improve safety at chemical storage facilities across the United States and US $4.23 million to improve emergency preparedness and response in Institute and protect the Kanawha River. Bayer CropScience will also pay a US $975,000 penalty.
"The multiple safety failures that existed at this facility that led to loss of life demonstrate why safeguards are necessary to protect people's health and the environment," said EPA mid-Atlantic regional administrator Shawn M Garvin. The nearly US $4.23 million for environmental projects will benefit the Institute community by improving mobile communication for emergency response units and training for local fire and police departments, shelter-in-place training and hazardous waste collections at local public schools and installing equipment to prevent pollution from water used in Bayer CropScience's as well as other units' manufacturing process from reaching the Kanawha River.
According to Satinath Sarangi, founder member of the non-profit, Bhopal Group for Information and Action,that has been working closely with the victims, the outcome of the Bayer settlement may not have any bearing with the ERI case in the US Courts. "However, it is relevant and I wish our courts also dealt with the polluters in a similar way," he said. According to ERI, the decision may come in two to four months.
Remember Bhopal Museum – Moving Pictures
January 5, 2015 Rox Carter	Leave a comment
Where the Union Carbide factory stood three decades ago — about 2.5 km away on the same Berasia Road now — is a museum; a people's museum, to be precise. The 'Remember Bhopal' museum is symbolically located inside the house of a survivor of the horrific night of December 2-3 in 1984. The double-storeyed building gets a constant stream of visitors, ever since the museum was inaugurated on December 2. Click here for the full story.

Warren Anderson, responsible for the world's biggest industrial disaster at the Union Carbide plant in Bhopal, India that claimed over 25,000 lives and counting, has died at 92. Anderson had a quote engraved on his desk that said, "Leader is best when people barely know he exists." He lived by that rule.

The groundwater in and around the State Industries Promotion Corporation of Tamil Nadu (Sipcot) in Cuddalore contains carcinogenic chemicals and is unfit for human consumption, according to an analysis by the Sipcot Area Community Environmental Monitors (Sacem).Many of the main parameters were found to be higher than permissible levels, including total dissolved solids (TDS), total hardness, pH, turbidity, magnesium, calcium, sulphates and chlorides as prescribed by the Bureau of Indian Standards. Tamil Na du Pollution Control Board (TNPCB) analysed samples from 11 locations, including two outside the Sipcot complex between February 2013 and April 2014.Sacem found samples had major toxin levels much higher than permissible limits and that the water was unfit for consumption. It released the analysis on September 17 at Cuddalore. Continue reading Times of India: Water in SIPCOT 130 Times Toxic Limit →

Really pleased with these tops. Bought 5 and the colours are true to what ordered and they are a great quality. Would definitely use again.
Great quality shirt and the logo looks really good. Excellent customer service too - they were really helpful when I had a problem with the image for the top.
Fast service and good quality clothing. Very happy with my purchase.
First purchase from T shirt studio. Trouble free experience. Excellent quality and service. Many thanks.
Absolutely fabulous vest top, quality is outstanding. Website was so easy to use, and the item arrived very quickly. Would highly recommend.
So quick and easy to design on this website compared to others and very fair prices. I am really happy with my product and overall experience and will use this service again. Thank you.
Good quality, good prices, arrived in time! Definitely recommend it !
I am very pleased with the vests that I ordered. They are for work, I live in Spain so needed something comfortable, cool and breathable. The quality is great and the print is clear and bright. Very happy. Will definitely order again.
Good quality vest shame about the print!
The sports vest fits well and is of reasonable quality but I feel a bit disappointed in the actual quality of the print. The logo I wanted printed on the vest is very colourful but the printed version was a bit dull and lacked the wow factor. Others in my group who had also ordered using the same logo shared this opinion too.
Fabulous service, loved how my vest top turned out. Would definitely recommend to friends.
Love this item, great quality & amazing finish on it!! Great fun ordering Extremely happy customer, have already ordered more items!!
The sports top's quality and finish is only second to the splendid customer service I received from Matt. I'll be back.
I am so happy with this product. The printing is excellent and the vest is a great quality. I am a size 8 so I got the xs it fits fine it's just a bit of a strange shape. The arm holes are quite small and the collar is quite high too so I felt I would have probably fitted a 10 better but the bottom part is very loose so a 10 would have swamped me in the lower part but overall an excellent product.
Really quick service & great quality. Good value too.
Very quick turnaround on the product ordered. Great lightweight top, printing looks great, really professional looking work. Highly recommend & I have ordered several items from the company, all have been great quality.
I ordered my top for the GNR. I had ruined my race shirt!!! Ordered Tuesday pm and received Thursday am by express delivery. Top is good quality and the print is better than expected. Measured exactly as stated. I am a size 10 and ordered a small, it is a close fit top so bear this in mind if you like loose clothing. I will definitely buy this product again and would absolutely recommend this company based on my experience.
I loved how easy it was to design our unique tops and upload pics onto them. As a team of 5 ladies taking part in a WOLF run we wanted the same front design with our individual names on the back. I therefore wasn't sure if the discount would apply but it did.. I loved how you could review the design and 2 days after placing the order they arrived. Great lightweight vest material for running in that fit well and the design is true to the website review page. We have had lots of great comments about them. I can easily recommend this company. Thank you T Shirt Studio.
My Great North run charity vest arrived much quicker than expected, which impressed me first of all, then I was further impressed by the excellent quality of both the printing & the material! Thank you. I would definitely order from here again & wouldn't hesitate to recommend to others.
The print is really great quality and I liked the cut and the fabric (like a basketball strip). On the advice of some reviews I bought each of us a size up but they ended up being too big. So I think the sizes are quite true - if you're a 10 buy a 10. Delivered in the time promised.

On March 9, 2015, the GSA hosted the 37th annual Graduate Research Conference (GRC) at the University of Maryland, Baltimore. This conference offers student researchers the opportunity to present their discoveries to a diverse audience. Our unique combination of research across various professional schools and disciplines allows basic scientists, informaticists, social scientists, nurses, and policy researchers to intermingle and discuss their research in an interdisciplinary setting.
This year we received abstracts from over sixty students and postdoctoral fellows in a wide range of studies for 3 oral and 5 poster presentation sessions. Our keynote speaker, Dr. Nathaniel Comfort of Johns Hopkins University Institute of the History of Medicine, gave an interesting talk entitled "Our Genomes...Ourselves? Genetics, eugenics, and human identity". He captivatingly introduced the study of genetics in a unique historical context and addressed issues of racial discrimination and eugenic implications that researchers should be wary of in the future.
For the second time, the GSA held a candidacy ceremony to acknowledge those PhD students who have successfully passed their qualifying exams and have advanced to candidacy in their programs. Senior student, Christina Ross gave a rousing speech to new candidates congratulating them on becoming "part of the club" that is candidacy. Each candidate thanked their mentor and described their research focus to their peers, coordinators, and faculty devotees. The GSA awarded 8 session awards to the top scoring individuals in each session: Bre-Onna DeLaine, Angela Nguyen, Haley Simpson, Thao Tran, Aimee Cunningham, Kara Moser, Christina Perry, and Alexandria Reinhart. Further, the Geriatrics and Gerontology Education and Research Program (GGEAR) recognized 2 individuals for their extraordinary research on aging: Adam Fisch and Laura Bozzi.
The event concluded with a well-attended social hour and reception in the SMC Campus Center. On behalf of the GSA we would like to thank all of the students, judges, volunteers, and attendees for participating in this years' GRC! We had a blast and will be happy to see this conference continue to grow and inspire in years to come!


A video of a gradation ceremony in a Caloocan school has gone viral, not because of the jubilant celebration but because of an alleged uninvited guest.
KAMI learned that the alleged guest was a "white lady" who appeared in the viral video, allegedly on top of the stage.
There was a white figure on top of the stage, seemingly facing the students who were singing during the rites.
An expert was asked if the video was edited, to which he attested to its genuineness.
In the Kapuso Mo Jessica Soho episode which tackled the said "white lady," teachers and students were asked about this "ghost."
One student, Maymay, recounted how she saw two girls inside the lassroom, who only nodded their heads without saying a word.
According to some critics, the said "figure" on top of the stage was merely a confetti box, but the teacher who was among those who made the venue preparations swear at having placed the confetti box in the center and she could not say what was it that appeared on top of the stage.

John Cena, Nikki Bella split after six years
By Kate Feldman
John Cena and Nikki Bella have called it quits. (Marko Georgiev/AP)
John Cena and Nikki Bella's engagement has been knocked out.
The WWE couple has split after six years together, they announced late Sunday.
"While this decision was a difficult one, we continue to have a great deal of love and respect for one another," they said in a statement online. "We ask that you respect our privacy during this time in our lives."
The two began dating in 2012 after Cena, 40, finalized his divorce from ex-wife Elizabeth Huberdeau. He popped the question to Bella last year at WrestleMania 33.
"This is what you wanted over a year ago. You broke your neck and did everything you could to come back because you wanted a WrestleMania moment. I'm so very proud of you. Right before your surgery, there would be a time when you would be a little loopy and I could ask you anything I wanted. If you gave me an honest answer, you wouldn't remember what you said. After a year and half, you asked me all the time. I promised I would tell you when the time is right. The time is right," Cena said from one knee.
"You were kinda glassy, in and out. At the last moment, I said, 'Can you hear me?' You said, 'Yes.' I said, 'I only have one question.' You said, 'What is it?' 'Do you know one day I'm going to marry you?' And you said, 'Yes.'
"I just need you to say yes one more time. I've been waiting so long to ask you this: Stephanie Nicole Garcia-Colace, will you marry me?"
The couple was most recently spotted on the red carpet for Cena's movie "Blockers" on April 3.
In March, he also gushed about wedding plans during an appearance on "The Tonight Show."
"I am super excited and I'm going to have to learn a dance. I promised Nicole that I would spend the last half of April learning a dance," he said.
"It's not going to be any good, but I'm going to do the best I can… I'm going to put the time in because I want that moment to be special for her."

Lesson 9 - Playing Backup
A Few Notes About Playing Backup For Someone Else
These are just some random thoughts I have about playing backup for someone else. While it may not seem like a glory job, it's an important one. That being said, here are some things that you should keep in mind when accompanying someone...
The #1 Rule For Playing Backup
Don't screw up!!!
Okay, maybe that seems blatantly obvious, but it's a known fact that if you get lost you will drag the other person down with you. Remember, you're generally playing backup for someone to make them look good.
Tempo, Tempo, Tempo...
I've played backup for a lot of people over the years, and tempo is a difficult thing to control when playing live. It is often your job as the backup to keep the beat rhythm of the song going, but not bludgeon the person you're playing backup for into your personal interpretation of the song. (This tends to make them mad...) But you need to make sure that you don't rush the song in all the excitement of a live performance.
There are times when you simply have to bite the bullet and do something drastic. For example, when I was playing backup for a vocalist, the vocalist suddenly decided to add long dramatic pauses to the song. (This is a fine to add to a song, but only when rehearsed.) I had to alter what I was playing completely or the song would crash, so I fell back on strumming half notes for an entire section of the song. This allowed the vocalist the musical freedom to change the timing completely, and allowed me to anticipate where the vocalist was going and bring in the accompaniment at the right time. In the end, it all worked.
Get To Know Who You Play With
It's a good rule of thumb to play with someone several times before venturing out into public. This gives you both a chance to learn how the other person thinks musically. That way, if something should happen to go different when playing live, you'll both recover from it. (I've been in many situations where a song completely fell apart when performing it live and the audience never knew.)
Keep It Simple, Stupid (The "KISS" Method)
If you are playing too complex a backup rhythm for someone that is playing a complex melody, the melody can get lost in the wash. It's better to scale back your approach to the song and let the melody speak for itself.
Listen, Listen, Listen...
When learning a song, listen to a song carefully to get an idea of what you might do with it. While it's your job to backup someone else, you should still find something of yourself in everything you do.
When rehearsing the song, listen to make sure that what you're doing with the song actually works. If it isn't working, come up with another approach - pronto. (No sense wasting a good rehearsal on a bad idea.)
When performing the song, listen to how it's going. Some songs tend to evolve a little when being performed, and you make to make sure what you're doing stays in line with where the song is going.
