Home » Sport » Jake Paul offered future MMA bout by Bellator after teasing boxing retirement to have UFC fight with Jorge Masvidal
04/01/2022 Sport
JAKE PAUL has been offered a home in Bellator – but only if he's serious about competing in mixed martial arts.
The YouTuber recently claimed he'd retire from boxing and sign a one-fight deal to face Jorge Masvidal in the UFC if president Dana White met his demands.
That came after the 24-year-old – who viciously KO'd former UFC welterweight champ Tyron Woodley in his last outing – said he'd start training at renowned MMA gym American Kickboxing Academy.
And Bellator president Scott Coker is willing to give The Problem Child an opportunity to try his hand at MMA.
He told MMA Junkie: "If you want to come into MMA, we would gladly do it.
"Think about this: He's not saying, 'I'm going to go train here. I'm going to go train there.'
"He's going to come to one of the best gyms in the planet, where Khabib is, where Daniel Cormier is still training, where Cain Velasquez is teaching there now, and he's going to go into an environment that he is going to flourish, and he has a wrestling background already.
"He has great striking, obviously. You've seen it, and so this guy is just going to get better and better and better."

White responds to Paul's claim he will RETIRE from boxing if he accepts demands
Paul has yet to fight a fully-fledged boxer in his brief stint in the sport and Coker believes the social media sensation is due a step up in competition.
He continued: "The days of him fighting basketball players or whatever, those days are over.
"He wants to do it. The only thing I will say is, my understanding is he wants to get 10 fights into boxing, and then after that come over to mixed martial arts.
"I know certain people feel a certain way, but I tell you, don't underestimate these guys because when they have their minds made up, it just seems like that they're able to fulfill their destiny, and so to me, it's something that if they want to make it happen, we would love to do something with them and put them in some big fights and really test them out."
Paul – along with older brother Logan – has made waves in the boxing world in his five professional bouts.
And although the brothers came into martial arts very late, Coker is refusing to put a ceiling on how far they can go.
The veteran promoter said: "I always said, 'Look, these guys are real athletes, and they're young, they work hard, they're grinding it out.
"They're putting in the work. You can't take that away from them, and they're getting better and better and better.
"What you saw with Woodley, that's a lot of hard work to get to that point. I've never seen Woodley get knocked out like that, right? And so, is it just boxing?
"Yes. So, I always said, 'Look, man, don't underestimate these guys,' and this was like a year-and-a-half ago."

The recent jump in global bond yields represents a reflationary reawakening just a year after deflation and recession fears were dominant. Is this another false dawn? We don't think so. This is an important psychological shift for investors previously obsessing over downside risks to growth and inflation, typified then by the talk of "secular stagnation" and "liquidity traps."
The latest trend started in July when bond yields bottomed at record lows. Signs of a global growth pickup stoked the more confident mood, as did Donald Trump's surprise U.S. presidential victory. We believe this reflationary phase, which central banks have been trying to achieve with years of ultra-easy monetary policy, has further to run.
The lack of stronger wage growth was a root cause behind fears of the U.S. economy's fragility and the downside risks to inflation. Thus, it would be misleading to think that rising wages have a direct link with subsequent economic downturns. Economic cycles do not die of old age, as the Federal Reserve has repeatedly noted. In this case, we see no reason to believe that the seeds of reflation will sow the expansion's demise just now. Most recessions can be explained by a sudden hit to aggregate demand, either due to some external, financial or policy-related shock.
This U.S. profit-wages dynamic has the potential to broaden and go more global. Any uptick in U.S. capital investment or productivity kick would give companies even more flexibility to lift wages. Elsewhere, this virtuous cycle is starting to take shape. In Europe, the slack created by the 2007-08 and 2011-12 crises is slowly being taken out. Labor market reforms have expanded the workforce in Japan, helping explain why wage growth remains limited even with the country's unemployment rate at three-decade lows. A better synchronized global recovery would make this bout of reflation more powerful.
The revival of animal spirits may start to drive more investors out the risk spectrum, reinforcing our expectation that there's potential for a risk appetite recovery. Finally, modestly higher bond yields support our view that the rotation into value and momentum shares away from low-volatility equities likely isn't over.

Depending on the industry, it costs between 5 to 25 times as times as much to acquire new customers as it does to keep an existing one. So why don't companies put more time into teaching their employees how to handle customer complaints constructively?
It's a blessing when a customer complains—they are telling you the problems they are experiencing before they leave. They're an opportunity to retain business. And, because it costs so much more to attract new customers than it does to retain current ones, you can't afford not to resolve customer complaints.
Give your employees the skills they need to succeed in difficult customer situations. This will allow you to retain customers, save money and grow your business.
ServiceSkills.com is an online learning resource for companies that value their customers. Our scenario-based videos provide your employees with real-to-life techniques for satisfying complaining customers.
Great customer service starts with management valuing existing customers, and providing their client-facing employees with the training they need to deal with customer complaints.
Through "right way" and "wrong way" vignettes, our training videos will teach your team how to leave complaining customers feeling acknowledged, heard and valued. Invest in your bottom line by giving your employees the training they need.
Every complaint is an opportunity to retain a customer. Instead of just leaving, your customer is taking the time to let you know that they're upset. Find out what's wrong, address it enthusiastically and the customer will not only stay, they may end up being a customer for life.
This is more than just a phrase. It should be your employees' guiding principle. The customer might not be right, and you might not be able to give them what they are asking for. But they aren't wrong for being upset. Be empathetic and put effort into resolving the issue.
There are customers who try to milk your organization for every penny, but they are few and far between. Never begin a client interaction with the assumption that they're just trying to get a freebie. If the customer thinks you don't take their concern seriously, it will just exacerbate the issue.
The client doesn't always know how they want a problem resolved. Make sure you completely understand their frustration, and then offer solutions that address the root of the problem.
Customers want their complaints to be addressed quickly and completely. By giving your employees actionable strategies for handling customer complaints, they will be better equipped to solve problems in a timely fashion.

Q: How to change SelectedBackground in ListViewItemPresenter inside a GridView I have a Clickable-Gridview insde a HubSection:
<HubSection >
                    <DataTemplate>
                        <GridView IsItemClickEnabled="True" ItemClick="Hub_OnClick">
                            <RelativePanel >
                           <TextBlock Text="NiceText" />
                            </RelativePanel>
                        </GridView>
                    </DataTemplate>
                </HubSection>

Now everytime I've clicked on that hub, a blue-border will appear around the GridView (SelectedBackground).
In LiveVisualTree it shows me, that the border is from a "ListViewItemPresenter" control inside the GridViewItem. Therefore I modified the style from the original control and pasted it into the Page.Resources tag.
<!-- Default style for Windows.UI.Xaml.Controls.ListViewItem -->
<Style TargetType="ListViewItem">
<Setter Property="FontFamily" Value="{ThemeResource ContentControlThemeFontFamily}" />
<Setter Property="FontSize" Value="{ThemeResource ControlContentThemeFontSize}" />
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Transparent"/>
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="{ThemeResource SystemControlForegroundBaseHighBrush}" />
<Setter Property="TabNavigation" Value="Local"/>
<Setter Property="IsHoldingEnabled" Value="True"/>
<Setter Property="Padding" Value="12,0,12,0"/>
<Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Left"/>
<Setter Property="VerticalContentAlignment" Value="Center"/>
<Setter Property="MinWidth" Value="{ThemeResource ListViewItemMinWidth}"/>
<Setter Property="MinHeight" Value="{ThemeResource ListViewItemMinHeight}"/>
<Setter Property="Template">
  <Setter.Value>
    <ControlTemplate TargetType="ListViewItem">
      <ListViewItemPresenter
          ContentTransitions="{TemplateBinding ContentTransitions}"
          SelectionCheckMarkVisualEnabled="True"
          CheckBrush="{ThemeResource SystemControlForegroundBaseMediumHighBrush}"
          CheckBoxBrush="{ThemeResource SystemControlForegroundBaseMediumHighBrush}"
          DragBackground="{ThemeResource ListViewItemDragBackgroundThemeBrush}"
          DragForeground="{ThemeResource ListViewItemDragForegroundThemeBrush}"
          FocusBorderBrush="{ThemeResource SystemControlForegroundAltHighBrush}"
          FocusSecondaryBorderBrush="{ThemeResource SystemControlForegroundBaseHighBrush}"
          PlaceholderBackground="{ThemeResource ListViewItemPlaceholderBackgroundThemeBrush}"
          PointerOverBackground="{ThemeResource SystemControlHighlightListLowBrush}"
          PointerOverForeground="{ThemeResource SystemControlHighlightAltBaseHighBrush}"
          <!-- here -->
          SelectedBackground="White"
          SelectedForeground="{ThemeResource SystemControlHighlightAltBaseHighBrush}"
          SelectedPointerOverBackground="{ThemeResource SystemControlHighlightListAccentMediumBrush}"
          PressedBackground="{ThemeResource SystemControlHighlightListMediumBrush}"
          SelectedPressedBackground="{ThemeResource SystemControlHighlightListAccentHighBrush}"
          DisabledOpacity="{ThemeResource ListViewItemDisabledThemeOpacity}"
          DragOpacity="{ThemeResource ListViewItemDragThemeOpacity}"
          ReorderHintOffset="{ThemeResource ListViewItemReorderHintThemeOffset}"
          HorizontalContentAlignment="{TemplateBinding HorizontalContentAlignment}"
          VerticalContentAlignment="{TemplateBinding VerticalContentAlignment}"
          ContentMargin="{TemplateBinding Padding}"
          CheckMode="Inline"/>
    </ControlTemplate>
  </Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>

But this isn't working for me. The SelectedBackground-Border is still blue. But why? Where is my mistake?

A: You should to override GridViewItem style and setup new style to GridView. In page resource declare your new style:
<Page.Resources>
    <Style TargetType="GridViewItem" x:Key="CustomGridViewStyle">
        <Setter Property="FontFamily" Value="{ThemeResource ContentControlThemeFontFamily}" />
        <Setter Property="FontSize" Value="{ThemeResource ControlContentThemeFontSize}" />
        <Setter Property="Background" Value="Transparent"/>
        <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="{ThemeResource SystemControlForegroundBaseHighBrush}" />
        <Setter Property="TabNavigation" Value="Local"/>
        <Setter Property="IsHoldingEnabled" Value="True"/>
        <Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Center"/>
        <Setter Property="VerticalContentAlignment" Value="Center"/>
        <Setter Property="Margin" Value="0,0,4,4"/>
        <Setter Property="MinWidth" Value="{ThemeResource GridViewItemMinWidth}"/>
        <Setter Property="MinHeight" Value="{ThemeResource GridViewItemMinHeight}"/>
        <Setter Property="Template">
            <Setter.Value>
                <ControlTemplate TargetType="GridViewItem">
                    <ListViewItemPresenter
                    ContentTransitions="{TemplateBinding ContentTransitions}"
                    SelectionCheckMarkVisualEnabled="True"
                    CheckBrush="{ThemeResource SystemControlForegroundBaseMediumHighBrush}"
                    CheckBoxBrush="{ThemeResource SystemControlBackgroundChromeMediumBrush}"
                    DragBackground="{ThemeResource ListViewItemDragBackgroundThemeBrush}"
                    DragForeground="{ThemeResource ListViewItemDragForegroundThemeBrush}"
                    FocusBorderBrush="{ThemeResource SystemControlForegroundAltHighBrush}"
                    FocusSecondaryBorderBrush="{ThemeResource SystemControlForegroundBaseHighBrush}"
                    PlaceholderBackground="{ThemeResource ListViewItemPlaceholderBackgroundThemeBrush}"
                    PointerOverBackground="{ThemeResource SystemControlHighlightListLowBrush}"
                    PointerOverForeground="{ThemeResource SystemControlForegroundBaseHighBrush}"
                    SelectedBackground="Transparent"
                    SelectedForeground="{ThemeResource SystemControlForegroundBaseHighBrush}"
                    SelectedPointerOverBackground="{ThemeResource SystemControlHighlightListAccentMediumBrush}"
                    PressedBackground="{ThemeResource SystemControlHighlightListMediumBrush}"
                    SelectedPressedBackground="{ThemeResource SystemControlHighlightListAccentHighBrush}"
                    DisabledOpacity="{ThemeResource ListViewItemDisabledThemeOpacity}"
                    DragOpacity="{ThemeResource ListViewItemDragThemeOpacity}"
                    ReorderHintOffset="{ThemeResource GridViewItemReorderHintThemeOffset}"
                    HorizontalContentAlignment="{TemplateBinding HorizontalContentAlignment}"
                    VerticalContentAlignment="{TemplateBinding VerticalContentAlignment}"
                    ContentMargin="{TemplateBinding Padding}"
                    CheckMode="Overlay"/>
                </ControlTemplate>
            </Setter.Value>
        </Setter>
    </Style>
</Page.Resources>

And setup:
<HubSection >
    <DataTemplate>
        <GridView IsItemClickEnabled="True"
                ItemClick="Hub_OnClick"
                ItemContainerStyle="{StaticResource CustomGridViewStyle}">
            <RelativePanel >
                <TextBlock Text="NiceText" />
            </RelativePanel>
        </GridView>
    </DataTemplate>
</HubSection>

p.s. You also can override Exanded style

What a kid. My youngest son never fails to amaze me. He's been a walking list of ailments his entire fourteen years of life. I have had to slowly peel away the "onion rings" of his symptoms in order to get to the source of his real problems. I've raised all three of my kids alone. With the middle son's special needs and the complex health profile of my youngest son, I've found that there is help out there, however nothing's handed to you on a plate. You have to go and find it. You have to ask questions. You've got to self advocate. And, you have to keep a watchful eye on your child, keep notes, and keep going to health professionals until you get over the finish line with the answers.
My son started coughing at two weeks old.
There began the first part of our medical mystery tour together. In his first five years, we were in and out of doctor's offices because of his cough. We got different diagnoses: hayfever, flu, childhood asthma, and he took lots of medicine. We tried different branches of alternative medicine: he was diagnosed with sour stomach, gluten allergy, and wheat intolerance, and we tried eating in many new ways. We tried Chinese herbal medicine as well, and they all did help a bit.
But nothing stopped the coughing. When he did catch the flu, he and I would spend long, frightening nights as I tried to keep him alive through his continuous bouts. We spent many nights at A&E.
I kept taking him back to the doctor. He was put on nebulizers, and given a blue and orange inhaler to take daily. At one stage, when things were at their worst, I spent $600 taking him to the doctor in one month. I was determined to get to the bottom of it. And, we did. Finally, on the umpteenth visit, we got a doctor who listened to his chest, and listened again, and said, "I think I hear a heart murmur."
Those words set us on the course to finally learning what he really had, which was Congenital Heart Disorder.
We were put on the short list for surgery. Four months later, the youngest son underwent double bypass open heart surgery to have a closure of the large Atrial Spetal Defect, and repair of a partial anomalous venous drainage.
It was a harrowing ordeal he came through with flying colours. After the operation began a lengthy recovery process
It takes kids who have heart surgery a year to get over the anaesthetic, five years to get back to their pre-surgery weight, and ten years for their bodies to get back to their pre-surgery state.
My son had his surgery at the age of five, so next year he will pass the ten year mark. However, back in 2010, after the surgery had fixed his heart and healing was underway, he was still coughing.
This time, the rounds of visits were confined to a doctor and a homeopath. I felt he was allergic to something, so I requested of my doctor that we be sent for allergy testing. The result was, he was allergic to cats, dogs, fish, dust and egg. On a scale of one to ten, he was allergic to eggs at a ten. Eggs were off the menu. He was put onto daily antihistamines. Our homeopath prescribed homeopathic tinctures to help him get over flus and colds. All good except he went on coughing.
Long story short, we discovered the youngest son had asthma, not the 'childhood' variety, but the real kind.
Leapfrog a few years to last week. After years of the youngest son being teased in the family for being deaf, I finally decided to have his hearing tested.
To my surprise, we discovered he has a retracted eardrum and a loss of hearing. I thought, that makes sense of a lot of things. We're seeing the specialist in four months, at Otorhinolaryngology.
This week, I followed up on another worry. I've always worried that the youngest son injures his ankles easily. A recent sprain wasn't getting better, so I took him to a physiotherapist and a podiatrist. Turns out, he has a twisted pelvis with one hip more forward than the other. And he has an in turned foot. That explained a few things. Nevertheless, with daily exercises and an insert in his shoe, we can fix what could have been a developmental problem for him, in future. I'm so grateful. (I'm also thinking, what the heck with this kid?)
However, with each new diagnosis life gets easier. We gain new tools. Getting the answers is the thing. And from here, all is possible.
Talk to you later.
Keep on Creating!

~ A CALIFORNIAN ADVENTURE, Part 2 ~

Today is Halloween in California where the youngest son continues his dream trip, 'A Californian Adventure' thanks to Koru Care NZ. The charitable trust is run by volunteers, who raise funds to send a group of seriously ill and disabled children on the trip of a lifetime to Disneyland each year.
When your child suffers so much due to ill health, as the parent, you want good things to happen to them.
Yet, as the parent, you're also a bit jaded, and you tend to think, will this trip really be the 'trip of a lifetime' or will it be a series of disappointments? However, I'm happy to say the Californian Adventure has been all they promised and more.
As was detailed in A California Adventure and Californian Adventure, Part 1, in the first week, the kids had been to meet the California Highway Patrol, to see the Hollywood Walk of Fame, to Universal Studios, and SeaWorld, and in the last blog post, the team were on their way to Disneyland. Imagine being a child at Disneyland for the first time, and you can stay all day through to the evening and go on as many rides as you can handle! Ha ha, I can hardly imagine the joy.
The next day, they went to Knott's Berry Farm, renamed "Knott's Scary Farm" for the Day of the Dead. And, then, they visited Disney California Adventure Park.
I love the fact that the kids aren't being treated like kids. They aren't expected to be in bed early every night. The team of adult carers have taken the kids out to see the sights in the evenings as well.
They've given them a taste of the nightlife. They stayed at Disneyland, Knott's Scary Farm and Disneyland California Adventure until after dark, so they got to watch the parades and ride the lighted roller coasters at night.
They've dined in cool restaurants, seeing the bright lights along the way, and they've attended different dinner theatre, things most of these kids would never normally get to do.
In the second week, they had another fun educational visit, this time to the LA Coast Guard and then a day at the San Diego Zoo.
Today was a free day, and they've been at the beach all day. Tonight, they'll have to fasten their seatbelts, because they're going to a Halloween party! Then, the kids have one more day at Disneyland and California Adventure before they finally depart LAX for home.
I expect the youngest son will come exhausted, satiated, and also, that his life will be forever enriched by this formative experience.
I've enjoyed watching on from afar and getting to live every minute vicariously through him, even the scary ones. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. The trip of a lifetime? It's proving to be the trip of at least two!
I think one of the greatest things Korucare do with this trip is make it 'device-free.' The kids aren't allowed to take phones or ipads or any sort of handheld gaming devices.
They are thrown together for two weeks and without their phones and what-have-you, these kids are forced to communicate. And, it's a beautiful thing to watch. You can see through the photos how close they've grown.
These days, with the research done on the effects of the internet/personal phones/devices on our kids, the research has shown a decrease in the ability of children to hold a conversation.
What a brilliant idea, to make these vacations device-free. It really brings the group of kids together in a way they rarely get to experience, one-on-one, in the moment, and interacting with one another. It's healthy for them and they need that reminder about how to function in real time with other people.
At an event like this, where the kids are not allowed to bring their phones, you see them instantly revert to sitting in groups on the floor talking, and playing handgames, it's the most heartwarming sight in the world. I'm so thrilled and pleased and honoured our family was one of those chosen for this special life-changing event.
Thank you, once again, to all those who contribute to KoruCare NZ. We'll never forget this.

Last Saturday, the youngest son left New Zealand along with twenty-six other kids, on this year's 'Californian Adventure.' The trip is organized and run each year by Koru Care NZ, a charitable trust based in the South Island of New Zealand, whose mission statement is 'making dreams come true for seriously ill and disabled children.'
As the last days counted down before departure, the tension began to mount, which escalated into pure adrenalin. We all got swept up in it. The tide of enthusiasm skipped from the kids, who were racing from all parts of the country to meet at Auckland International Airport, to the parents, whether through the Facebook page they'd set up or via those who could be there in person.
The kids were so happy, it was a force to be reckoned with.
The photos started flooding into the Facebook page, which has became my favourite port of call every day since. The organisers have been brilliant, because through the steady stream of pictures, we parents have been able to follow along for the ride.
Part one of their grand adventure has been spectacular.
The first day in California was a free day, to give everyone time to get over the jetlag. There were pictures of kids swimming in the pool and eating ice creams and visiting the local food joints. In these pictures, I can see the youngest son is still finding his feet, still feeling a bit awkward with his new companions. Their second day, they took a bus ride to visit the California Highway Patrol where the kids watched demonstrations by the officers and learned about the work they do. They received souvenirs and were allowed to take photographs sitting on the bikes and cars.
At this stage, the kids and the adults were visibly starting to relax more in the photos, and it seemed they were getting to know one another. I could tell the youngest son had befriended the other heart kid he was sharing a room with. In the pictures, the kids were chatting and getting on.
The whole group dynamic seemed to be becoming more like a family.
The fourth day, they took a bus tour to see the Hollywood Walk of Fame. There was a video taken of the kids screaming when they saw the Hollywood sign. The excitement was infectious. They went to Universal Studios, where they visited Harry Potter's World and the Staples Centre. In these photos, the youngest son is having fun. There is a hilarious video posted on the KoruCare page of my son and others standing in front of a huge transformer.
The robot knocked off the son's cap and said, 'Pick up your hat.' The son picked it up and the transformer knocked it off again. This was repeated four times to greater and greater laughter from the crowd, and the funny part was the transformer laughed each time too. The group of kids around the youngest son seem tight-knit, and everyone's in a great mood. The footage absolutely made my day.
It constantly amazes me how much joy my son's good fortune is bringing me. I'm so happy for him I could burst!
Today, being the fifth day of their Californian Adventure, the Koru Care team visited SeaWorld in San Diego. That would have been the first time my son has ever seen a display like that, and I'm sure he would have been in awe and wonder.
The way the trip has been organized, every morning the kids are told where they are going that day, they have no idea beforehand. The youngest son's carer had explained the intention behind it being 'that every morning will be like Christmas morning.'
I wish I could be a fly on the wall for tomorrow morning. Because tomorrow they get to go to … drum roll, please … Disneyland!
The reactions should be priceless. My son will be over the moon. As his cousin was pointing out to me today, 'This is a big step up from having gone on his first roller coaster ride, this year.' In January, the boys and I had visited our first ever fun fair. The boys couldn't get enough of the rides, and the youngest son said it was the most fun he'd ever had. So, for a treat, in May, I paid for him and friends and family to go to Rainbow's End for his thirteenth birthday. He spent a delirious day going on every ride. That was when he went on his first rollercoaster. And here we are, in October, and he's about to go to Disneyland! He'll be in seventh heaven.
I'm so grateful to the good folk who do all the fund raising for these trips and the running of Koru Care Nz What an incredible organization. Support in any way you can. Thank you!

A few months ago, our family got some great news. The youngest son had been chosen as a "heart kid" (a child who has undergone open heart surgery) to go along on this year's 'California Adventure.' A trip to Disneyland is organized and run each year by Koru Care Charitable Trust NZ, 'making dreams come true for seriously ill and disabled children.'
I overheard a conversation the youngest son was having yesterday with friends while playing Fortnite. One member of the squad asked, "Why do you get to go to Disneyland?" and another answered, "It's his reward for surviving heart surgery." That's the truth and yet, my youngest felt bad about accepting the gift. He said he felt someone else should be going on the trip in his place because he 'didn't deserve it.'
And so, I gently reminded him of the terrifying journey of the first five years of his life. It was an endlessly harrowing ride for me as his chief nurse and caregiver.
The youngest of my three boys was born in 2005, with complex congenital heart disorder (or CHD), although we did not know that at the time. The first clue came when he started coughing at three weeks old, though he had no other symptoms of ill health.
The cough would come and go from then on, however when he did contract the flu, then his health would plummet fast and the cough would become life threatening and continuous. It took me five years to figure out what was wrong, as we went down the road of misdiagnoses and educated guesses, and countless trial treatments.
Finally, after trying everything, I told our doctor the whole story. She listened carefully to his chest. Her diagnosis of a heart murmur then led us on to the hospital tests, which finally confirmed the actual problem was a sizeable hole in his heart or atrial septal defect. The medical part of our journey began there.
In 2010, he underwent double bypass open heart surgery. The operation was later added to the "unusual casebook." The "hole" in his heart was 'more than just a hole, there was only a rim between the upper chambers,' the surgeon, Dr. Elizabeth Rumball, told us later, 'and his heart had grown a single vein from the liver to the bottom of the heart,' something she had never seen before. Dr. Rumball had to figure out how create an autologous pericardial patch to fix both issues.
After six hours of surgery, my five-year-old woke up in Pediatric Intensive Care, with a gash down his chest, in a lot of pain. Only three days out from the surgery, he'd been moved to the high dependency unit and was already taking his first steps. Three days later, we were released to go home.
We've come a long way since those days. The youngest son starts high school, next year. One of the teachers asked me how having had the surgery affects him now. I said, he's fine now, yet, he will always be that little bit "fragile," and he won't have quite the same stamina and energy levels as other kids. Child heart patients are also susceptible to emotional, developmental and behavioural problems. We haven't had any issues there, so far.
He has to take daily medications and rest a little more than other kids his own age. But, generally he is healthy, fit and well. He bikes to school each day. And, wonderfully, gone are the days and nights of coughing. He has quality of life and the prospect of a healthy future ahead.
With a bit of gentle prodding on my part, the youngest son had remembered his journey and accepted that maybe it was acceptable for him to go on the California Adventure.
After another month and a half, I started the process of medical clearance for him to take the trip. I started on doing the paperwork, and buying the things he would need to take with him. I borrowed luggage and we went to get some money changed into U.S currency.
As the weeks have gone by, the pressure to have everything in order has increased. And in the last two weeks, I've been flat tack. Tonight, the bags are packed. The boy has had his nails trimmed, and he's had a haircut.
Everything is done, at last.
On Saturday, he leaves on the California Adventure with twenty-four other lucky kids.
The youngest son said, "I don't feel happy very much, but about this trip, I feel the happiest I've ever been."
The joy! What parent doesn't want to hear that?

~ A TRIP OF A LIFETIME ~

In October of this year, my youngest son will be going on the trip of a lifetime. He and eleven other lucky kids from across New Zealand have been chosen to go to Disneyland.
Two weeks ago, we received an invitation to apply for a place on the coveted annual trip with Koru Care New Zealand, through our association with Heart Kids NZ. Yesterday, we got the happy news he had been accepted, and we'll happily do our bit to help raise money for the trip, as this is such a great opportunity.
Koru Care New Zealand is a charitable trust established in 1983. It's run by volunteers 'making dreams come true for seriously ill and disabled children.' Heart Kids NZ is another charitable trust. It's committed to providing lifelong support to those born with congenital heart defects and heart disease.
The youngest of my three boys was born in 2005, with complex congenital heart disorder (or CHD), although we did not know that at the time.
The first clue came when he started coughing at three weeks old, though he had no other symptoms of ill health.
The cough would come and go from then on, however when he did contract the flu, then his health would plummet fast and the cough would become life threatening and continuous. It took me five years to get a diagnosis, as we went down the road of misdiagnoses and educated guesses and countless trial treatments.
Finally, after trying everything, I went back to our doctor with the whole story. She listened carefully to his chest. Her discovery of a heart murmur led to the hospital tests, which finally confirmed the problem was a hole in his heart or Atrial Septal Defect.
In 2010, he underwent double bypass open heart surgery. The operation was later added to the "unusual casebook." The hole in his heart was 'more than just a hole, there was only a rim between the upper chambers,' the surgeon, Dr. Elizabeth Rumball, told us later. 'And his heart had grown a single vein from the liver to the bottom of the heart,' something she had never seen before. Dr. Rumball had to figure out how create an autologous pericardial patch to fix both issues.
After six hours of surgery, my five-year-old woke in Pediatric Intensive Care, with a gash down his chest, in a lot of pain. His recovery process began there. Only three days out from the surgery, he moved to the high dependency unit and was already taking his first steps. Three days later we were released to go home.
We've come a long way since those days.
They say it takes paediatric heart patients a year to get their energy back and a decade for the body to recover to the pre-surgery state, however, he is in good health these days. The difference with heart kids is that they are a little "fragile," they don't have the same stamina as other kids. They are also susceptible to emotional, developmental and behavioural problems.
My son has thrived since the surgery. Gone are the days and nights of coughing. He has quality of life and the prospect of a healthy future ahead, thanks to the wonderful doctors and staff at Starship Children's Hospital.
While we were in hospital, we joined the amazing Heart Kids NZ foundation. We put his name down on the list of kids interested in going to "Heart Camp," a weeklong retreat each summer. From the age of eight, he has gone to camp every year. He's learned adventure skills like kayaking, abseiling and rock climbing. He's sat around campfires, and gone swimming, ridden the flying foxes and water slides. He's made friends and had important experiences of independence. Because he was well known at heart camp, his name came up when Koru Care said they had places for four Heart kids on the Disneyland adventure.
My son was the right age and state of health to be eligible, so his name went forward with a lot of others. And we were lucky enough to get picked. He was excited when I told him the good news because he has never travelled anywhere or been to a theme park, and he's always wanted to go. This sweet boy who has been through so many trials in his life, will get to go on the adventure of a lifetime, to Disneyland!
Thank you to Koru Care New Zealand and to Heart Kids NZ and to the medical staff along the way for making all of this possible and for making a boy's dream come true.
Blessings come in many ways, even when they're sometimes dressed as catastrophes.

Netflix is as popular as ever. After providing over a billion hours of streamed video per week in 2017, Netflix added 7.4 million subscribers in the first three months of 2018. Its international subscribers also outnumbered its US subscribers for the first time ever (68.3M vs. 56.7M). It seems nearly everyone loves to stream Netflix, but what do we watch? Do we prefer dramas? Comedies? Reality shows? The answer may be affected by where you live.
Entertainment tastes are often shaped by culture and geography, so we used Google Trends data to see which Netflix shows have sparked the most interest in each country around the globe in 2018.
The most popular Netflix show in the world is 3%.
The dystopian thriller 3% is the most popular show in the most countries, making it the world's most popular show. It topped the rankings in eight countries, including Brazil, where the show is both set and made. Portugal also has 3% as its most popular show, likely because it's the first Netflix original series shot in Portuguese.
While the show's popularity in those two countries makes sense, the rest of the countries where 3% found the most interest are all in Africa. Portugal colonized much of Africa in the eighteenth century, and plenty of Portuguese-speaking communities still exist there (Portuguese is the official language of Angola). That cultural influence is could be contributing to the show's popularity in these areas.
My Love from the Star is the second-most popular Netflix show in the world—but not in its native South Korea.
Just behind the show 3%, My Love from the Star ranked as the most popular show in seven countries—all of which are in Southeast Asia. Again, this regional popularity makes sense because the show is made in South Korea.
However, My Love from the Star is on Netflix in only some of these countries. Its high search volume in countries where it's not on Netflix probably comes from people searching how to watch it. This still speaks to the popularity of the show in those countries, as do the remakes of the show created in several countries, including the Philippines.
Surprisingly, the show's original home, South Korea, is not one of the countries where My Love from the Star is the most popular. South Korea prefers The Walking Dead. To be fair, if you shared a fence with North Korea, you might feel inclined to familiarize yourself with a dystopian world too.
Seven shows are the most popular in five countries or more.
Netflix has a lot of global heavy hitters in its show lineup, with seven programs topping the list of favorites in at least five countries.
Out of all the shows on Netflix, only 47 managed to be a favorite in at least one country.
Eighteen countries have a favorite show that no other country has.
Sherlock went from the most popular Netflix show in 2017 to a tie for eighth in 2018.
Russia seems to have no qualms about hacking operations all over the West. Coincidentally, the most popular Netflix show in Russia is Shameless.
Disjointed is a show about a woman running a marijuana dispensary. Canada leads the world in legal marijuana sales, and Disjointed just so happens to be its favorite Netflix show. Canada also recently became the second country to legalize recreational marijuana nationwide.
We used Google Trends to see which shows were googled the most in each country. This information isn't available for all countries (China, for example) so we excluded those countries from the list. Also, any region with its own specific data in Google Trends was treated as a separate country even if it happens to be under the rule of another government. For example, Puerto Rico has its own entry on our list even though it's technically part of the USA.
Does your favorite Netflix show match your country's? Share this list with your friends to see if they agree. And don't forget to come back to HighSpeedInternet.com for all things internet.

9 Best Hema Malini Movies To Celebrate 74 years of Bollywood's Own Dreamgirl
With more than five decades in the industry, Hema Malini is still the queen of hearts.
Team ZZ
Published On Oct 20, 2022 | Updated On Oct 20, 2022
Hema Malini, an actor, producer, director and politician, was born and brought up in Tamil Nadu. She has been in the industry for more than five decades and has entertained her audience and fans with the most amazing movies. She has made us laugh, cry, feel angry and feel all other emotions in her movies.
Hema Malini made her debut with the Tamil movie Idhu Sathiyam back in 1963, and she has not stopped gracing the big screen ever since. She has worked with superstars like Amitabh Bachchan, Dharmendra, Rajnikant, Dev Anand, Rajesh Khanna and the list goes on.
She is known as the 'Dream Girl of Bollywood' because of her good looks and sweet personality. The veteran actor has been an inspiration for most upcoming, young actors as she continues to win hearts to this day. Although we don't see her doing too many movies now as she is busy being a great politician, we can go down memory lane and watch the famous movies that she has graced with her presence.
Here is a curated list of Hema Malini's movies that you can binge-watch to celebrate her 74th birthday
1. Double-Trouble In Seeta and Geeta
A movie that is loved and watched even today is one where Hema Malini aced a double role. What was really refreshing to the audience is the unique plot and storyline. The versatile actress played the role of a bubbly and rebellious Geeta who lives a full life with her mother even though they come from a low-income household. She also plays the role of a soft-spoken and innocent Seeta who lives in a big house but is emotionally used and troubled by her relatives. Starring opposite Dharmendra and Sanjeev Kumar, Malini plays both roles with ease.
2. A Braveheart in Andaz
Starring opposite big stars like Shammi Kapoor and Rajesh Khanna, the veteran actor managed to win over hearts with her brave acting. Hema Malini enacted the role of a girl named Sheetal who had to weather her husband passing away, being a single mother and finding love again with another man whilst dealing with societal pressure. A plot like this in the '70s was not too common, yet the veteran actor managed to make her name.
3. Robin Hood in Dream Girl
If you are wondering what the famous dream girl film is, this is it. With the famous song sung by Kishore Kumar and lip-synced by Dharmendra after he sees Hema Malini in the movie, has become legendary. The movie plot revolves around Sapna (Hema Malini) taking up aliases to earn a living for an orphan house. Things go downhill when she meets Dharmendra and her past catches up to her when he asks her to live in his palatial house.
4. Sati Savithri in Prem Nagar
Meeting a rich, bad boy, saving his life, moving into his estate as an employee, falling in love with him and then caught in a web of lies and conspiracy. This movie brings in ambition, love and hurt. The plot of the movie revolves around the test that their relationship goes through and how their love conquers all in the end.
5. Stunning in Sholay
This would by far be the most iconic movie on this list. This movie has been one of the greats that changed the face of Indian cinema. From its plot, cinematography, acting, music and the gravitas of the movie, everything won the hearts of people. Hema Malini was a bullock cart driver and was the love interest of Dharmendra in the movie. From the songs, the Jai-Veeru (Amitabh-Dharmendra) friendship duo, the infamous villain Gabbar's dialogues to Hema and Dharmendra's fun scenes, the movie is etched in everybody's hearts.
6. Strict Mother in Jamai Raja
Breaking the stereotype yet again, Hema Malini takes up the role of a millionaire mother-in-law to Anil Kapoor who hails from a low-income family. She is strict, scary but loves her daughter to bits. So, when her daughter gets secretly married to a stranger, she is enraged and creates all sorts of problems to separate them. At the end, Malini's character accepts their relationship and it is a happy ending.
7. Romanticising Parenthood in Baghban
Making a strong return with one of her old co-stars, Amitabh Bachchan, Hema Malini wins hearts with her graceful acting yet again. The movie showcases an older couple's relationship beautifully and how they are still in love with each other, setting a bar for all the older couples out there. The couple suffers and learns about parenthood the hard way when they are separated by their own kids. This heart-wrenching story is a must watch.
8. Queen of Hearts in Naseeb
This masala entertainer is one of the blockbusters directed by Manmohan Desai and written by Kader Khan. The story revolves around four friends whose lives take a turn for the worse over a lottery ticket. Things go downhill when one of the friend's is murdered by the other and the others seek revenge. This movie had the famous song 'John Jani Janardan' for which the director assembled the entire film industry.
9. A true beauty in Johny Mera Naam
In this movie, Hema Malini stars opposite the legendary Dev Anand. Dev Anand and Pran are brothers and boxing champs and their father gets murdered by a goon. Pran kills the goon and flees the crime scene and goes into hiding. On the other hand, Dev Anand becomes a CID officer and falls in love with Hema Malini during one of his cases. This one is a real entertainer.
If you are a movie buff or just a true Hema Malini fan, these movies should be on your must-watch movies list to experience the beauty of the ageless diva and the amazing movie plots.

ISIS Claims Responsibility for Bastille Day Terror Attack in Nice That Killed 84
CP Current Page: World | Saturday, July 16, 2016

NICE, France — Islamic State claimed responsibility for the truck attack in the French city of Nice on Saturday and police arrested three more people there after the carnage that claimed the lives of at least 84 people.
"The person who carried out the operation in Nice, France, to run down people was one of the soldiers of Islamic State," the news agency Amaq, which supports the militant Islamist group, said via its Telegram account.
"He carried out the operation in response to calls to target nationals of states that are part of the coalition fighting Islamic State," the statement said.
French authorities and media have yet to produce any evidence that the killer, Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel, was radicalized. The interior ministry said it was checking the claim.
The 31-year old Tunisian, who lived locally, drove at a Bastille Day crowd on the waterfront of the French Riviera city on Thursday night. Authorities had been working to find out what his motives were. He was not known to French intelligence sources for radicalization.
The arrests, which came on top of two others since the killing including the attacker's wife, concerned his "close entourage", police sources said. They were made in two different areas of Nice.
A Reuters reporter saw about 40 elite police raid a small apartment near the central station, where one individual was arrested.
The attack plunged France into new grief and fear just eight months after gunmen killed 130 people in Paris.
The truck zig-zagged along the seafront Promenade des Anglais for two kilometers as a fireworks display marking the French national day ended.
It was eventually stopped when police shot dead the driver.
Investigators continue to work at the scene near the heavy truck that ran into a crowd at high speed killing scores who were celebrating the Bastille Day July 14 national holiday on the Promenade des Anglais in Nice, France, July 15, 2016. | (Photo: Reuters/Eric Gaillard)
The attack is the third of its kind in France since the beginning of 2015. A state of emergency in place since 130 people were killed in and around Paris last November is to be extended for another three months.
Bouhlel was known to police for petty crimes but was not on a watch list of suspected militants. He had one criminal conviction for road rage, having been sentenced to probation three months ago for throwing a wooden pallet at another driver.
Ahead of the claim by Islamic State, the militant Islamist group which grabbed control of swathes of Iraq and Syria but which is now under military pressure from forces opposed to it, French officials had not disclosed any direct evidence linking Bouhlel with jihadism.
Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve, asked on Friday if he could confirm the attacker's motives were linked to jihadism, said: "No... We have an individual who was not known to intelligence services."
Relatives and neighbors in Bouhlel's hometown of Msaken outside the coast city of Sousse said he was sporty and had shown no sign of being radicalized, including when he last returned for the wedding of a sister four years ago.
Cheap Claim
Edwin Bakker, Professor at the Centre for Terrorism and Counterterrorism at the University of Leiden in the Netherlands, said the claim did not necessarily point to any formal link.
"Islamic State called for such (individual) attacks to be carried out back in 2014. They are also using the public perception that an attack like this seems to fit Islamic State. Investigators still have not discovered a direct link between Islamic State and the attacker, so it is a cheap claim," he said.
In Nice, where the holiday season would normally be in full swing, organizers of the annual Jazz festival joined the singer Rihanna in cancelling their event. A five-day annual festival that has run since 1948 had been due to start on Saturday.
Nissa Ma Belle
Tearful well-wishers were still laying flowers, candles, teddy bears and drawings at a makeshift memorial on the Promenade des Anglais.
"Nothing will ever be like before...Nissa ma belle" read one, a reference to the hymn 'Nissa la Bella', or Nice the Beautiful, sung in the local Nicois dialect.
"Enough of the carnage. Stop the massacre," read another.
Tora Hakausson, from Norway owns a flat in Nice, and was dining in a beach restaurant when the attack took place.
"We don't want to go home. Life has to remain normal. I don't want this to change how we feel about France," she said as she wiped away a tear from under her sunglasses.
"Anger is the main emotion today," said Maiche Arlette, a resident of the city. "For two and a half years now we have suffered from these attacks..."Our society has gone mad."
