Although easing off the gas on his training, Jake Ellenberger will soon be back in the gym to help training partners prepare for fights.
In the meantime, he'll be watching several key fights in the welterweight division that are set to play out in the next two months.
With a key win this past Saturday over onetime welterweight title-challenger Jake Shields (26-6-1 MMA, 1-2 UFC), Ellenberger (25-5 MMA, 5-1 UFC) has, in theory, shoved his way into the division's upper ranks. But as he today told MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com/radio), he's in no hurry to ask for fights.
"I haven't really put a lot of thought into who's next," he said. "I'm still trying to take some time off and help my brother Joe (Ellenberger), who's got a fight coming up. So does Mark Munoz. But it's up to the UFC."
Ellenberger dispatched Shields in under a minute at "UFC Fight Night 25: Battle on the Bayou," which took place at Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans. The event's main card, including the Ellenberger vs. Shields headliner, aired on Spike TV prior to prelims on Facebook.
It was the Nebraska native's biggest win to date and brought his current win streak to five. While Ellenberger feels he's reached an important milestone in his career, he's not quite sure where he stacks up in the top 10.
At UFC 137, two high-profile welterweight fights take place: Welterweight champ Georges St-Pierre makes attempts his seventh title defense when he meets Carlos Condit, and B.J. Penn meets Nick Diaz. The winner of Penn vs. Diaz is the arguable No. 1 contender.
Also, onetime welterweight challenger Josh Koscheck takes on former champ Matt Hughes at UFC 135 this Saturday.
Ellenberger said he'd be happy to fight the winner of any of those fights, though he'd obviously prefer a title shot.
"It doesn't really matter to me," he said. "[They're] definitely the top-tier welterweights in the world. Carlos is a fantastic fighter; we've met before. I would love to fight Carlos again. He's fighting GSP now, which I absolutely think he's deserving of.
"B.J. Penn is a good friend of mine … and I'm thinking that B.J. is going to beat Diaz. And Koscheck's also a good fight. So it doesn't really matter who I fight. I've told the UFC I'll fight whoever I have to to get my shot at the world title."
Shields' fight with Ellenberger was his first since a failed bid at St-Pierre's title at UFC 129, and it came just weeks after the loss of his father and manager, Jack Shields. Ellenberger praised the ace grappler's decision to keep the fight in the wake of his personal tragedy.
"I have a whole new respect for him; I really do," he said. "The majority of people going through that situation would have pulled out of the fight. It would be expected, and he didn't even think twice about it.
"He was like, 'No, this is what I do. I'm a professional athlete.' He's a world champ. He's definitely one of the top guys in the world, and I think people should realize that and respect him."
Ellenberger said he did not hear Shields verbally submit prior to his win, as a representative from the Louisiana Boxing and Wrestling Commission told MMAjunkie.com on Monday.
"If you look at the fight, he still wanted to keep fighting," he said.
For now, that's what Ellenberger will continue to do, at least until he gets a clearer idea of where his career is headed. At the moment, things couldn't be better.

Egg freezing is one of the most important achievements in modern fertility preservation techniques. In IVF with Egg Freezing Centres in India, it is established as a popular medical treatment of infertility. Freezing eggs enables pregnancy, even when the woman is not able to conceive due to decline in quantity or quality of eggs. The technology of egg freezing is a boon for women today who wish to delay childbearing, due to career choices and changing priorities or for any other reasons.By freezing eggs, women can control their fertility and get pregnant at a time they choose.
This Assisted Reproductive Technology is primarily used in many IVF with Egg Freezing Centres in India as a means to extend fertility by preserving Oocytes for later use or to protect fertility when medical conditions affect the body adversely. The process involves hormonal simulation similar to IVF, before retrieving the eggs through a short invasive procedure. Depending on the woman's age, the required number of eggs are retrieved in one or more cycles and frozen in the laboratory through a process called vitrification.
Vitrification has grown in popularity and services are offered in various IVF with Egg Freezing Centres in India. It is very much effective than traditional egg freezing. Vitrification is a rapid process and does not allow the formation of the ice crystals. It also involves the use of new cryopreservation method that protects tissues from damage due to freezing.Eggs frozen through vitrificationcan be retained for up to 10 years or more without any loss in the quality of the eggs. When the patient is ready for pregnancy, these frozen eggs are thawed and impregnated with sperm and the embryo is placed in the uterus, in a way similar to IVF.
This process is followed by many IVF with Egg Freezing Centres in India due to the availability of advanced treatment facilities, experienced infertility specialists and practice of modern medical techniques. IVF with Egg Freezing Centres in Indiahave helped many couples conceive a baby using frozen eggs at minimum risk and high rate of pregnancy.
Until recently, egg freezing or oocytes preservation was not very common and only a few medical facilities but now almost all IVF with Egg Freezing Centres in India have adopted the facilities for egg freezing. Oocyte preservation or egg freezing is a process of preserving a woman's oocytes or eggs for later use. A woman's oocytes or eggs are removed from the ovary and are stored in a frozen state. These eggs are defrosted prior to use when necessary. After defrosting, these eggs are used for fertilization and resultant embryo is transferred to the uterus of the woman.
Women planning to get pregnant late in life but are concerned about complexities and risks associated with late pregnancy can opt for egg freezing. It enables them to get pregnant with their own eggs when they actually are not able to produce eggs or have poor quality eggs due to age. Freezing eggs at a favorable reproductive age increase chances of future pregnancy as fertility decreases with age.
In IVF with Egg Freezing Centres in India, advancement in technologies in Cryobiology and its related fields have madefreezing eggs much easier and more successful.
Women may choose to go for oocyte preservation or egg freezing for the following reasons.
Egg retrieval is done under sedation in a surgical clinic, usually with transvaginal ultrasound aspiration. During this procedure, an ultrasound probe is inserted into the vagina to identify the follicles. If the eggs are present, a needle is guided through the vagina and into a follicle. A suction device connected to the needle is used to remove multiple eggs from the follicle at a time.
After egg retrieval, you might experience cramping. Feelings of fullness or pressure might continue for weeks because your ovaries remain enlarged.If the eggs are not accessible through transvaginal ultrasound, the needle might be guided through laparoscopy, a procedure in which a slender viewing instrument (laparoscope) is inserted through a tiny incision near the navel.
If you are considering freezing your eggs, look for IVF with Egg Freezing Centres in India. Keep in mind, however, that a clinic's success rate depends on many factors, such as patients' ages and medical abnormalities.
Before beginning the egg-freezing process, the patient is likely to go through medical screenings, including:
The procedure is very much alike IVF treatment. Women are stimulated with hormones to produce a number of eggs so that sufficient number of eggs can be collected. The eggs are retrieved and frozen by vitrification in the lab and then stored under appropriate conditions so that they can be used in future when required.
There are multiple steps involved in this:
Frozen or cryopreserved eggs are stored at -196 degrees, so there is no deterioration in the quality of eggs, within several years. There are records of healthy babies born from eggs frozen 8 to 10 years ago.
Typically, you can resume normal activities within a week of egg retrieval but should avoid unprotected sex to prevent unwanted pregnancy.
Contact IVF with Egg Freezing Centres in India if you have:
When a woman chooses to use own frozen eggs, her eggs are thawed and fertilized with sperm in a lab and implanted in her uterus. IVF with egg freezing centres in India might recommend using a fertilization technique called Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) in which a single healthy sperm is injected directly into each mature egg. The fertilized embryos or blastocysts are picked and inserted into the uterus of the mother to assist pregnancy.
About 75 to 80 percent of eggs survive freezing and thawing, and a similar amount is successfully fertilized. The chances of becoming pregnant after implantation are around 40 to 50 percent, depending on the woman's age at the time of egg freezing. The older you are at the time of egg freezing, the lower the likelihood you have to conceive.
If the expense of egg freezing is a concern, ask for detailed information about the costs associated at each step of the procedure and the annual storage fees. The cost of fertility preservation varies widely in IVF with egg freezing centres in India. There are significant differences in cost of egg freezing from clinic to clinic and state to state. You need to be clear on what the mentioned cost includes. The process of extracting good quality eggs from a woman can cost very high. Freezing eggs can also be an expensive affair. Moreover, IVF process has to be followed when the couple decides to have a baby from frozen eggs. IVF process costs around twolacs per cycle and as you may know, it may require multiple cycles of IVF treatment to get a viable pregnancy. All these constraints make egg freezing a costly procedure.

The New Life: Words of God for Young Disciples of Christ
BY Rev. Andrew Murray
Chapter 16 Love
"A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are My disciples, if ye have love one to another" kjv@John:13:34-35.
"Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law" kjv@Romans:13:10.
"Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and His love is perfected in us" kjv@1John:4:11-12.
In the word of Micah, in the previous section, righteousness is the first thing which God demands. To love mercy is the second. Righteousness stood more in the foreground in the Old Testament. Love is first seen as supreme in the New Testament. Passages to this effect are not difficult to find. In the advent of Jesus, the love of God is first revealed, the new, eternal life is first given, and we become children of the Father and kindred to each other. On this ground the Lord can then, for the first time, speak of the New Commandment--the commandment of brotherly love. Righteousness is not required less in the New Testament than in the Old ( kjv@Matthew:5:6 kjv@Matthew:5:17 kjv@Matthew:5:20 kjv@Matthew:6:33). Yet the burden of the New Testament is that we have been given a power for love which was unattainable in the early days ( kjv@Romans:5:5 kjv@Galatians:5:22 kjv@1Thessalonians:4:9 kjv@1John:4:11 kjv@John:13:34).
Let every Christian take it deeply to heart that in the first and the great commandment--the new commandment given by Jesus at His departure--the unique characteristic of a disciple of Jesus is brotherly love. And let him, with his whole heart, yield himself to Him to obey that command. For the right exercise of this brotherly love, one must pay attention to more than one thing.
Love of the brethren arises from the love of the Father. By the Holy Spirit, the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts, and the wonderful love of the Father is unveiled to us, so that His love becomes the life and the joy of our soul. Our love of God springs out of the fountain of His love for us ( kjv@Romans:5:5 kjv@1John:4:19). And our love of Him naturally causes us to love the brethren ( kjv@Ephesians:4:2 kjv@Ephesians:4:6 kjv@Ephesians:5:1-2 kjv@1John:3:1 kjv@1John:4:7 kjv@1John:4:20 kjv@1John:5:1). Do not attempt to fulfil the commandment of brotherly love by yourselves--you are not in a position to do this. But believe that the Holy Spirit, who is in you to make known the love of God to you, also certainly enables you to yield this love. Never say, "I feel no love. I do not feel as if I can forgive this man." Your decision to act should not be based on feelings. Rather, it is your duty to believe the command and to have faith in God to give you the power with which to obey the command. In obedience to the Father--with the choice of your will, and in faith that the Holy Spirit gives you power--begin to say, "I will love him. I do love him." The feeling will follow the faith. Grace gives power for all that the Father asks of you ( kjv@Matthew:5:44-45 kjv@Galatians:2:20 kjv@1Thessalonians:3:12-13 kjv@1Thessalonians:5:24 kjv@Philippians:4:13 kjv@1Peter:1:22).
Brotherly love has its measure and rule in the love of Jesus. "This is My commandment, that yea love one another, as I have loved you." ( kjv@Luke:22:26-27 kjv@John:13:14-15 kjv@John:13:34 kjv@Colossians:2:13). The eternal life that works in us is the life of Jesus. It knows no other law than what we see in Him. It works with power in us what it worked in Him. Jesus Himself lives in us, and loves in and through us. We must believe in the power of this love in us, and, in that faith, love as He loved. Do believe that this is true salvation--to love even as Jesus loves.
Brotherly love must be in deed and in truth ( kjv@Matthew:12:50 kjv@Matthew:25:40 kjv@Romans:13:10 kjv@1Corinthians:7:19 kjv@Galatians:5:6 kjv@James:2:15-16 kjv@1John:3:16-18). It is not mere feeling. The power in Christ arises from faith which works by love. It manifests itself in all the Christ-like characteristics that are specified in the Word of God. Contemplate its glorious image in kjv@1Corinthians:13:4-7. Notice all the glorious encouragements to gentleness, to longsuffering, to mercy ( kjv@Galatians:5:22 kjv@Ephesians:4:2 kjv@Ephesians:4:32 kjv@Philippians:2:2-3 kjv@Colossians:3:12 kjv@2Thessalonians:1:3). In all your conduct, let it be seen that the love of Christ lives in you. Let your love be a helpful, self-sacrificing love--like that of Jesus. Hold all children of God, however sinful or wrong they may be, fervently dear. Let your love for them teach you to love all men ( kjv@Luke:6:32 kjv@Luke:6:35 kjv@1Peter:1:22 kjv@2Peter:1:7). Show your family, the Church, and the world that within you "love is greatest" ( kjv@1Corinthians:13:13). Show all that the love of God has a full dwelling and a free working in your life.
Christian, God is love. Jesus is the gift of this love-to bring love to you, to transplant you into that life of godlike love. Live in that faith, and you will not complain that you have no power to love. The love of the Spirit will be your power and your life.
Beloved Saviour, I discern more clearly that the whole of the new life is a life in love. You are the Son of God's love--the gift of His love--who has come to introduce us into His love, and give us a dwelling there. And the Holy Spirit is given to shed abroad the love of God in our hearts, to open a spring out of which love will stream to You and to the believers and to all mankind. Lord, here am I, one redeemed by love, to live for it and, in its might, to love all. Amen.
1. Those who reject the Word of God sometimes say that it is of no importance what we believe if we but have love, and so they are for making love the one condition of salvation. In their zeal against this view, the orthodox party have sometimes presented faith in justification, as if love were not of so much importance. This is likely to be very dangerous. God is love. His Son is the gift, the bringer, of His love to us. The Spirit sheds the love of God in the heart. The new life is a life in love. Love is the greatest thing. Let it be the chief element in our life--true love which is known in the keeping of God's commandments (see kjv@1John:3:10,23,24; 5:2).
2. Do not wonder why I have said that you must love even though you do not feel the least bit of love. Not the feeling, but the will, is your power. It is not in your feeling, but in your faith, that the Spirit in you is the power of your will to work in you all that the Father bids you. Therefore, although you feel
absolutely no love for your enemy, say in the obedience of faith, "Father, I love him; in faith in the hidden working of the Spirit in my heart, I do love him.
3. Do not think that this is love, if you wish no evil to anyone, or if you should be willing to help, if he were in need. No, love is much more. Love is His love. Love is the disposition with which God addressed you when you were His enemy, and afterward ran to you with tender longing to caress you.

Robert Reby, CFP®, CEO of Reby Advisors,will release his second book, "Wealth Redefined: Charting the Way to Personal and Financial Freedom"on July 25th, 2017.Rebydescribes the book as "a financial planning doctrine for achieving lifestyle goals, happiness, and health – despite the myriad of dangers in the world today."
"Conflicted advice from Wall Street, market volatility, soaring healthcare and education costs, andrising prices and taxes, all pose great challenges to individuals and families who really just want to live a good lifestyle."
Throughout Wealth Redefined, Reby draws on his thirty-plus years of experience as a financial planner to deliver practical advice on how to address these risks.
He also explores the concept of "behavioral risk" and how investors may avoid buying high and selling low. The text recalls theGreat Recession when people pulled their money out of the market, rather than taking advantage of other people's mistakes:
"…getting out for just one year – which seems like a reasonable idea given all of the fear at the time about the impending collapse of the entire economy –damaged the investor's portfolio forever. You can never turn back the clock and get those returns back."
Reby believes that wealth "means different things to different people," and his latest book is designed to provide readers with a framework for identifying their own unique version of financial independence, and gain the knowledge they need to achieve and sustain it.
The book will be available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and at numerous independent online bookstores.

Is this it? Will Chromecast finally give Google its must-see TV (gadget)? Here's a look at why or why not - after the flops that were Google TV and the Nexus Q - the third time might be the charm for Google and Internet TV.
Chromecast is a 2-inch dongle (raise your hand if you love that word, too) that allows users to view Internet-based videos such as those from YouTube or Netflix on their big-screen televisions. When Google unveiled the device this week, it threw in a sweet deal: a free three-month subscription to Netflix. But alas, Google told the Los Angeles Times that the promotion has been canceled because of 'overwhelming demand.' Score one for the why column?
As the Merc's Brandon Bailey and Troy Wolverton wrote, Chromecast has limited capabilities. But some analysts are bullish on it, especially because it costs only $35. And unlike Apple TV's Airplay, Chromecast is platform-agnostic. 'I think it's a brilliant end run around the complexity of other Internet TV solutions,' said Forrester analyst Sarah Rotman Epps.
But Brandon and Troy also talked to analysts who were skeptical, and their reasons are similar to those raised by others. There is already a plethora of devices that allow people to watch Internet content on their televisions, including game consoles, Roku, Airplay, and smart TVs themselves.
In addition, Chromecast is still a baby, so it hasn't had time to play with others yet: Only Netflix has an app for it, but Pandora and others are working on theirs. Roku, another small device that plugs into televisions and streams online content, boasts more than 750 channels, including Hulu and Amazon.
Some have done point-by-point comparisons of Chromecast against Roku and Airplay: Roku wins in content, Chromecast wins in cost and Airplay wins on connectivity, according to the Huffington Post.
Marketing Land's Danny Sullivan likes that users of Chromecast can search for content using the god-given keyboards on laptops or mobile devices, a step up from clunky searches using 'dumb' remotes. And here's another possible advantage Roku has over Chromecast. Roku doesn't sell content, so it's in the best interests of those that do to make apps for it. On the other hand, competitors such as Amazon or Hulu might not want to make things so easy for Google's handy-dandy little dongle.

National Funding Will Support Research on Treatment for Anxiety
Dr. Christa McIntyre-Rodriguez
Two professors in the School of Behavioral and Brain Sciences recently received national funding to study the mechanisms behind a proposed new treatment for anxiety disorders.
The National Institute of Mental Health grant will provide $423,000 over the next three years to Dr. Christa McIntyre-Rodriguez and Dr. Sven Kroener to fund their research.
"This grant will enable us to address unresolved questions," said McIntyre-Rodriguez, principal investigator on the grant. "Previously, we found a method to enhance learning that a formerly dangerous situation is no longer dangerous.
"This could potentially help people to get over emotional traumas and return to a normal, high functioning life – but we don't fully understand how it works yet."
Previous work in McIntyre-Rodriguez's lab showed that using electric pulses to stimulate the vagus nerve during behavioral therapy can reduce a rat's stress response to reminders of a previously fear-evoking event.
The vagus nerve acts as a conduit for information between the brain and the body. When a person is stressed or frightened, the body releases stress hormones leading to a signal in the brain via the vagus nerve. The brain responds by enhancing memory formation of the stressful event. Normally, this would help warn the person to avoid the stressful situation in the future. In people with anxiety disorders, the response to stress by the vagus nerve is altered and the ability to associate safety with feared environmental cues is impaired.
Dr. Sven Kroener
Combining vagus nerve stimulation with a type of behavioral therapy known as fear extinction caused reduced fear responses in rats compared to fear extinction alone.
Kroener is interested in understanding the mechanisms of extinction as it relates to drug addiction. His expertise in researching how memory systems interact through recording cellular responses will assist in this opportunity to learn more about the neural mechanisms involved in using vagus nerve stimulation to eliminate fears.
"We are very pleased to receive this new funding from NIMH for Dr. McIntyre-Rodriguez and Dr. Kroener's exciting work on possible pathways for modifying maladaptive emotional learning," said Dr. Bert Moore, dean of the School of Behavioral and Brain Sciences and the Aage and Margareta Møller Distinguished Professor. "Their research is exemplary of our commitment to better understanding the brain in service to improving people's lives."
The grant supports four undergraduate and two graduate students to work with McIntyre-Rodriguez and Kroener.
"With this grant, our students will help us examine the mechanisms of how vagus nerve stimulation causes the reduction of pathological fears," said McIntyre-Rodriguez. "We also expect these findings to shed light on the way conditioned fears are naturally overcome."

Lions' last Test rescues, tallest scrum-halves and Johnno & Sir Clive
John Griffiths
July 6, 2009
Wales & Lions scrum-half Mike Phillips is the tallest in history © Getty Images
Welcome to the latest edition of Ask John where renowned rugby historian John Griffiths will answer any rugby-related query you have!
So, if there's something you've always wanted to know about the game we love but didn't know who to ask, or you think you can stump our expert - then get involved by sending us a question.
In this edition, John fields questions on Lions' whitewashes, the tallest scrum-halves and 100% scoring contributions.
Q. How many times have the Lions rescued a Test whitewash by winning the last Test? Anon
A. Saturday's record-equalling score and winning margin for Lions Tests against the Springboks was the fourth time that they have avoided a whitewash by taking the last match in a series.
1938 South Africa, 2-1 Captain - Sammy Walker
Q. Who is the tallest scrum-half who has played international rugby? Anon
A. At 6' 3" Mike Phillips of the Lions and Wales is the tallest scrum-half in the history of international rugby.
It's a far cry from the days a hundred years ago when Dickie Owen, the star Welsh scrum-half of the first Grand Slams, measured just over the 60-inch level. His height was given officially as 5'1½". When he retired from Tests in 1912 he was the world's most-capped player, having played 35 times since 1901.
The first 70-inch scrum-half was the Springbok legend, Danie Craven, in the 1930s. He was matched after the Second World War by the Frenchman, Yves Bergougnan, who had a penchant for dropping goals. In the fifties, Lloyd Williams of Wales (brother of Bleddyn) became the first six-footer to work the scrums in internationals.
New Zealanders who watched the 1959 Lions recall the "giant" Stan Coughtrie of Scotland feeding the scrums on that tour. At 6'1½" he (and more recently Joost van der Westhuizen of South Africa) were the tallest international scrum-halves before Mike Phillips.
Q. Matt Giteau scored all 22 of Australia's points in their win against France in Sydney last week. What is the highest-ever 100% contribution to a Test score? Anon
A. The record in this respect is held by Portugal's Thierry Teixeira, the fly-half who kicked nine penalty goals (equalling the world record) and a dropped goal in the opening match of the second-tier Six Nations of 2000. He was on the losing side to visitors Georgia, who beat the Portuguese 32-30 in Lisbon.
The highest 100% winning contribution is 29 by Argentina's Santiago Mesón in their 29-26 thriller against Canada in Buenos Aires in a Pan-American Championship match in 1995.
The top three 100% contributions to a Test score are:
30 - Thierry Teixeira, Portugal 30-32 Georgia, Lisbon, 2000
Q. How does Martin Johnson's record as England head coach compare with Sir Clive Woodward's after his first full season in charge? Anon
A. Martin Johnson's England in Tests (excluding the Barbarians match) in 2008-09 reads: P 11 W 5 L 6 For 248 Against 224 Success Rate* 45%
Clive Woodward's England record in 1997-98 was: P12 W 3 D 2 L 7 For 238 Against 380 Success Rate* 33%
In his first season, Johnson saw his charges whitewashed by the Tri-Nations in the autumn with South Africa inflicting England's biggest-ever home Test defeat (42-6). England then managed a runners-up finish in the Six Nations.
In comparison, Woodward's teams were also whitewashed by the Tri-Nations (in the summer of 1998 when Australia inflicted England's biggest-ever Test defeat 76-0). And like Johnson's team, his men had managed a runners-up finish in the old Five Nations.
Altogether Johnno called on 20 backs and 26 forwards among the 46 players used in the eleven Tests this season. Thirteen players were handed their first caps: Delon Armitage, Steffon Armitage, Matt Banahan, Jordan Crane, Riki Flutey, Ben Foden, Dylan Hartley, Nick Kennedy, Tom May, Ugo Monye, Chris Robshaw, Sam Vesty and David Wilson.
Back in 1997-98, Sir Clive used 25 backs and 27 forwards and 22 players were awarded their first caps.
Phil Vickery and Simon Shaw hold the unusual distinction of serving England during both Sir Clive Woodward and Martin Johnson's first seasons.
(*Success rates based on two points for a win and one for a draw.)
Q.When did individual tours to the Tri-Nations by the Five Nations begin?Anon
A.The case for short tours of New Zealand and South Africa made by the Home Unions gathered momentum in the 1950s with the greater accessibility of air travel. In 1957, South African supremo Dr Danie Craven put the case to the annual meeting of the International Rugby Board (IRB), arguing that short tours by the individual Home Unions were in the best interests of the game in overseas countries.
The Board accepted the proposal and in 1958 France became the first Five Nations Union to make a short tour of South Africa. Scotland and Ireland did so in 1960 and 1961 respectively, and in 1963 England visited Australia and New Zealand. Wales made their first overseas tour in 1964, to South Africa.
Q. Do you have any info on the Ranfurly Shield game in Christchurch in 1935? My late father, George Howell, played for Canterbury. Dave Howell, New Zealand
A. G J (George) Howell played his club rugby for Christchurch Albion and represented Canterbury 40 times as a forward between 1930 and 1935. Half of his matches were in Ranfurly Shield games.
Canterbury won the Shield from Wellington in 1931 and made 15 successful defences of the trophy in the following two years, George appearing in 13 of those matches. He played in their unsuccessful defence against Hawkes Bay (9-0) on 21 July 1934 and was still in the side when they wrested the Shield from Auckland with a 16-13 win thirteen months later. Canterbury resisted four Shield challenges on successive weekends in Christchurch in 1935 before losing it to Otago (15-6) in late September.
All told he was on the winning side in 18 of his 20 Ranfurly Shield matches for Canterbury. His only first-class points were a try against Southland in Christchurch in a 21-3 Ranfurly Shield defence on 19 August 1933.

The Middle Eastern and North African wars – planned 20 years ago – don't necessarily have much to do with fighting terrorism. See this, this and this.
They are, in reality, about oil.
And protecting Israel (and read the section entitled "Securing the Realm" here).
But as AFP reports today, there is another major motivation for the expanding wars:
The latest round of American sanctions are aimed at shutting down Iran's central bank, a senior US official said Thursday, spelling out that intention directly for the first time.
"We do need to close down the Central Bank of Iran (CBI)," the official told reporters on condition of anonymity, while adding that the United States is moving quickly to implement the sanctions, signed into law last month.
Foreign central banks that deal with the Iranian central bank on oil transactions could also face similar restrictions under the new law, which has sparked fears of damage to US ties with nations like Russia and China.
"If a correspondent bank of a US bank wants to do business with us and they're doing business with CBI or other designated Iranian banks… then they're going to get in trouble with us," the US official said.
Why is the U.S. targeting Iran's central bank?
Well, multi-billionaire Hugo Salinas Price told King World News:
What happened to Mr. Gaddafi, many speculate the real reason he was ousted was that he was planning an all-African currency for conducting trade. The same thing happened to him that happened to Saddam because the US doesn't want any solid competing currency out there vs the dollar. You know Gaddafi was talking about a gold dinar.
As I noted in August:
Ellen Brown argues in the Asia Times that there were even deeper reasons for the war than gold, oil or middle eastern regime change.
Brown argues that Libya – like Iraq under Hussein – challenged the supremacy of the dollar and the Western banks:
Later, the same general said they planned to take out seven countries in five years: Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Iran.
What do these seven countries have in common? In the context of banking, one that sticks out is that none of them is listed among the 56 member banks of the Bank for International Settlements (BIS). That evidently puts them outside the long regulatory arm of the central bankers' central bank in Switzerland.
The most renegade of the lot could be Libya and Iraq, the two that have actually been attacked. Kenneth Schortgen Jr, writing on Examiner.com, noted that "[s]ix months before the US moved into Iraq to take down Saddam Hussein, the oil nation had made the move to accept euros instead of dollars for oil, and this became a threat to the global dominance of the dollar as the reserve currency, and its dominion as the petrodollar."
According to a Russian article titled "Bombing of Libya – Punishment for Ghaddafi for His Attempt to Refuse US Dollar", Gaddafi made a similarly bold move: he initiated a movement to refuse the dollar and the euro, and called on Arab and African nations to use a new currency instead, the gold dinar. Gaddafi suggested establishing a united African continent, with its 200 million people using this single currency.
And that brings us back to the puzzle of the Libyan central bank. In an article posted on the Market Oracle, Eric Encina observed:
One seldom mentioned fact by western politicians and media pundits: the Central Bank of Libya is 100% State Owned … Currently, the Libyan government creates its own money, the Libyan Dinar, through the facilities of its own central bank. Few can argue that Libya is a sovereign nation with its own great resources, able to sustain its own economic destiny. One major problem for globalist banking cartels is that in order to do business with Libya, they must go through the Libyan Central Bank and its national currency, a place where they have absolutely zero dominion or power-broking ability. Hence, taking down the Central Bank of Libya (CBL) may not appear in the speeches of Obama, Cameron and Sarkozy but this is certainly at the top of the globalist agenda for absorbing Libya into its hive of compliant nations.
Alex Newman wrote in November:
According to more than a few observers, Gadhafi's plan to quit selling Libyan oil in U.S. dollars — demanding payment instead in gold-backed "dinars" (a single African currency made from gold) — was the real cause [of the Libyan war and killing of Gadhafi]. The regime, sitting on massive amounts of gold, estimated at close to 150 tons, was also pushing other African and Middle Eastern governments to follow suit.
And it literally had the potential to bring down the dollar and the world monetary system by extension, according to analysts. French President Nicolas Sarkozy reportedly went so far as to call Libya a "threat" to the financial security of the world. The "Insiders" were apparently panicking over Gadhafi's plan.
"Any move such as that would certainly not be welcomed by the power elite today, who are responsible for controlling the world's central banks," noted financial analyst Anthony Wile, editor of the free market-oriented Daily Bell, in an interview with RT. "So yes, that would certainly be something that would cause his immediate dismissal and the need for other reasons to be brought forward [for] removing him from power."
According to Wile, Gadhafi's plan would have strengthened the whole continent of Africa in the eyes of economists backing sound money — not to mention investors. But it would have been especially devastating for the U.S. economy, the American dollar, and particularly the elite in charge of the system.
"The central banking Ponzi scheme requires an ever-increasing base of demand and the immediate silencing of those who would threaten its existence," Wile noted in a piece entitled "Gaddafi Planned Gold Dinar, Now Under Attack" earlier this year. "Perhaps that is what the hurry [was] in removing Gaddafi in particular and those who might have been sympathetic to his monetary idea."
Investor newsletters and commentaries have been buzzing for months with speculation about the link between Gadhafi's gold dinar and the NATO-backed overthrow of the Libyan regime. Conservative analysts pounced on the potential relationship, too.
"In 2009 — in his capacity as head of the African Union — Libya's Moammar Gadhafi had proposed that the economically crippled continent adopt the 'Gold Dinar,'" noted Ilana Mercer in an August opinion piece for WorldNetDaily. "I do not know if Col. Gadhafi continued to agitate for ditching the dollar and adopting the Gold Dinar — or if the Agitator from Chicago got wind of Gadhafi's (uncharacteristic) sanity about things monetary."
But if Arab and African nations had begun adopting a gold-backed currency, it would have had major repercussions for debt-laden Western governments that would be far more significant than the purported "democratic" uprisings sweeping the region this year. And it would have spelled big trouble for the elite who benefit from "freshly counterfeited funny-money," Mercer pointed out.
"Had Gadhafi sparked a gold-driven monetary revolution, he would have done well for his own people, and for the world at large," she concluded. "A Gadhafi-driven gold revolution would have, however, imperiled the positions of central bankers and their political and media power-brokers."
Adding credence to the theory about why Gadhafi had to be overthrown, as The New American reported in March, was the rebels' odd decision to create a central bank to replace Gadhafi's state-owned monetary authority. The decision was broadcast to the world in the early weeks of the conflict.
In a statement describing a March 19 meeting, the rebel council announced, among other things, the creation of a new oil company. And more importantly: "Designation of the Central Bank of Benghazi as a monetary authority competent in monetary policies in Libya and appointment of a Governor to the Central Bank of Libya, with a temporary headquarters in Benghazi."
The creation of a new central bank, even more so than the new national oil regime, left analysts scratching their heads. "I have never before heard of a central bank being created in just a matter of weeks out of a popular uprising," noted Robert Wenzel in an analysis for the Economic Policy Journal. "This suggests we have a bit more than a rag tag bunch of rebels running around and that there are some pretty sophisticated influences," he added. Wenzel also noted that the uprising looked like a "major oil and money play, with the true disaffected rebels being used as puppets and cover" while the transfer of control over money and oil supplies takes place.
Other analysts, even in the mainstream press, were equally shocked. "Is this the first time a revolutionary group has created a central bank while it is still in the midst of fighting the entrenched political power?" wondered CNBC senior editor John Carney. "It certainly seems to indicate how extraordinarily powerful central bankers have become in our era."
Similar scenarios involving the global monetary system — based on the U.S. dollar as a global reserve currency, backed by the fact that oil is traded in American money — have also been associated with other targets of the U.S. government. Some analysts even say a pattern is developing.
Iran, for example, is one of the few nations left in the world with a state-owned central bank. And Iraqi despot Saddam Hussein, once armed by the U.S. government to make war on Iran, was threatening to start selling oil in currencies other than the dollar just prior to the Bush administration's "regime change" mission. While most of the establishment press in America has been silent on the issue of Gadhafi's gold dinar scheme, in Russia, China, and the global alternative media, the theory has exploded in popularity.
A reader comments:
No one is paying attention to the petro-dollars and the current desperation of European and US banks. Even Iran prices oil in $$$s per the treaty after WWII, but no one wants $$$s any more because it has been such a poor investment vehicle. Gold has been much better. Iraq did not want $$$s, was invaded. Libya did not want $$$s, was invaded (I believe they wanted gold). Iran does not want $$$. The dollars are deposited in US and European banks. The dollars standing as the finacial reserve currency of the world was / is being threatened, and thus the Federal Reserve Banks ability to print unlimited dollars!

By jimmyo0317 on Sunday, August 02, 2020The C300 is the perfect commuter car. It combines luxury and performance with a smooth ride with and decent gas mileage. The 241 horsepower 2.0L turbo engine provides a quiet ride with the acceleration when you need it, but the car is more luxury than sport. Mine has the AMG Sport option package which includes a lower suspension and the 5 spoke AMG wheels. The handling is tight without compromising the luxurious ride. The interior is perfect. I really love the interface. Most people expect it to be a touch screen. I actually prefer the current interface over the touch screen. It's very easy to use. The voice command interface is the only thing I don't like. The commands are not intuitive and it is hit or miss getting the voice commands correct without formal training and studying of the commands.

Good solid car - feels expensive
By DJ on Saturday, July 14, 2018Purchased new in Oct. 2015 I just turned over 40,000 miles today. Ive had no issues with the car. Driven in upstate NY winters. Good in snowy conditions. Seats are comfortable for me (5 foot 11 and 175 pounds). Ive averaged 27mpg in mixed driving with a highway mpg as high as 34mpg. Car is quick for being a base 4 cylinder - especially when in sport+ mode. Heated steering wheel and seats are done well (not too hot). Air Conditioning is good. My bike fits in the car with the back seat folded down. No issues with the panoramic sun roof. I have the LED headlights and I wish I had gotten the full LED headlights that were active. Paint and interior looks like day one - great quality. Bermeister stereo is worth getting. Car is quiet inside, even though outside it sounds almost like a diesel at idle. I use the navigation all the time - works well for me; as does the voice activation aspects of the phone/stereo. While some find the electronics too confusing, it only took me a few days to master all of the features. Only got 15,000 miles on the OEM Continental run flat tires; maybe could have squeezed a few more thousand miles out of them but winter was coming. Absolutely zero defects in my car - only scheduled maintenance needed thus far.
