Huddersfield’s belief has not taken dip, says David Wagner

Have your say

HEAD COACH David Wagner last night described Huddersfield Town slipping out of the play-off places for the first time this season as “irrelevant”.

The Terriers have taken just five points from their last eight outings to tumble from top spot in the Championship down to eighth.

It has led to suggestions from pundits and rival fans alike that Town’s hopes of promotion are fading badly, but Wagner does not agree.

Instead, the 45-year-old believes the fact there is still well over half the season still to play means things can change very quickly.

“I am aware of the table and what three points could do this Saturday,” said the German ahead of tomorrow’s home clash with Bristol City.

“I was also aware of when we were top of the table or in the top six. But, to me, these are irrelevant.

“The only time that the league table matters is at the end of the season after 46 games. We are only part way into the season.

“We have 30 points at the moment and that is what we deserved because we have it. We have to accept it, but this is not the end.

“We are still hungry and greedy to get more points and that is what we are trying to do, starting Saturday.”

Just one win in those past eight games – and even then it took a last-minute winner from Elias Kachunga to earn all three points at home to Derby County – has left Huddersfield’s season in need of an urgent lift.

Despite five of those last eight games having been lost, Wagner added: “I have not seen any difference in our confidence or belief during this run. None at all. The players – and people could see this last weekend (in the 1-1 draw at Blackburn) – are still very confident and trust each other.

“Of course, they are disappointed by results. We play as a team and we want to win as a team. We want points on the table.

“But there is no reason to be less confident about our play. The performances have been too strong for that.

“We are struggling on little details, such as making the most of all these great opportunities in offence. But we still believe in each other, totally. We just need to get back the luck we need to win football matches.”

Spurned opportunities in front of goal and individual mistakes at the back have combined to cause the recent slump in form.

Wagner accepts improvements need to be made in both respects, but is keen to stress that his side’s overall performances have been good. He is also adamant that if Town can continue in this vein then their luck will turn.

“It is more disappointing than frustrating that we haven’t got the points we deserved,” he said.

“I would be frustrated if the players had not been able to follow the plan. If they do and try everything, but we don’t get the result, then that is disappointment.

“I worry about not winning football matches when we have the chance to do so, like last week. We had a great opportunity to win at Blackburn.

“But, since the first day I arrived, I have said that the first and second focus has to be on how we play, to perform in terms of our identity, that we are strong enough to bring our identity against whichever opponent we are facing on the grass.

“Then, we have to make sure we win the football matches. I am totally happy with how we performed in the last games.

“We worry about the results, of course. But one reason is we didn’t score when we had chances. And we gave goals away too easily.

“The main focus stays on how we perform. We have to make sure we know what we have to do and that we are very tight on our ideas.

“You change slight things in your training programme, depending on the opponent you play against, and during the period where we struggled with defensive set-pieces. That was our focus.

“Now, we have a feeling we are back at our strength in those situations. We have to focus on our game.

“The results have not been good enough and that makes us unhappy. But the performances were good.”

Town’s poor form since the October international break has led to supporters speculating as to what needs to be done to rectify matters in January when the transfer window opens.

Wagner and chairman Dean Hoyle regularly discuss the club’s recruitment plans for the new year.

While not wanting to be drawn on what those plans are, the Town head coach did admit the pair’s thinking is very similar.

He said: “Dean is strong enough connected in this business and football intelligent enough that he sees exactly which position maybe needs some more quality.

“I don’t have to go to Dean. We are always in contact and in conversation on this.”

Coming to Yvette’s class regularly has been a treat to see her finding her voice and living out her dream! She just finished getting her Baptiste certification and has established her place as one of the best yoga instructors I’ve seen!

She combines yogic principles with a non-stop awesome workout! Be prepared to sweat, feel the burn, breathe deeply, hold utkatasana for way longer than you’d like, laugh, curse her under your breath, and leave feeling totally relaxed, invigorated and prepared to meet challenges of daily life with equanimity. Oh, and don’t be surprised if she throws in some hard core abs work or a plyometrics session as well that will leaving you looking great.”

From the first class that I took with Yvette over a year ago, I was an instant follower of hers.

Her positive energy, excitement for life and teaching and caring personality is intoxicating...she inspires you to work hard in class and enjoy it!  Her instructions are clear and easy to follow, her diverse poses always surprise and excite me and she knows just the right amount of how far to push me without intimidating me.  I love her class and I love her as my teacher! I look forward to going every time!

I cannot rave enough about the fabulous, amazing and dedicated Yvette! You will be missing out if you don't check her out!"

In your first yoga practice guided by Yvette Jain, you will quickly learn that she is a bright individual whose actions and words speak volumes of joy and compassion but also focus and intuition.  It's as if Yvette knows exactly where your body and mind need to go every time you hit the mat, and she offers up all her tools to help you get there, including her impeccable assists. She also knows exactly what to say to help you dig deeper in those oh-my-god-I-just-need-a-child's-pose moments.
Her class is a balanced blend of strengthening and lengthening with some spicy plyometric and abdominal series thrown in for good taste, and her meditations on life are practical and effective in bringing your practice to a more meaningful place. By the end of every class, you feel like the best version of yourself. Rinsed, renewed, and ready to take on any challenge."

— Brandon

"Fantastic class!

I really enjoyed the flow, challenging poses, and advice. Yvette is obviously passionate about yoga, and it shines through!"

— Marissa

"I have become stronger and more aware of my body.

I feel like I'm unique and not competing with anyone else in the world"

I have been a Yvette Jain fan for years. She is grounded and soulful while she gives specific postures that flow beautifully.
She teaches at a few CRUNCH locations… Yvette is so sweet yet strong when she provides instruction and it is always awe inspiring to watch her demo a new pose."

— Rate Your Burn

Yvette is a great yoga instructor. She combines a traditional yoga practice with a focus on fitness, strength, and athleticism. She is attentive to the students and helps perfect poses and position. Yvette also makes the class fun."

— Fred, Private Client

When you go to her FACEBOOK PAGE, you will find tons of inspirational quotes and positive sayings such as this one *The study of asana is not about mastering posture...its about using posture to understand and transform yourself.*  When you go to her YOGA CLASS you will experience the gratitude, possibility and light from within to such an extent that you will be glowing for the rest of the day!"
Yvette's class is so challenging, it is addicting. I actually crave sore muscles the day after I take her class.  Not only does she help you through each asana, walking around and making adjustments, but Yvette will inspire you while doing so. The stories and words of wisdom she speaks while you are in each pose reach deep within and enlighten you so much that you actually want to stay in the pose longer. It is like a light switch and your thoughts of *Omg please say the next move already* change automatically to *I think I can stay here forever -or at least another minute :) *  She has a way of working out your body and mind at the same time that you actually feel the yoga high.
One of the things I really love about Yvette is that she spreads her love of yoga by helping her yogis face their fears head on. Inversions are difficult for me, yet with her help in the past year that I have been going to her classes, I have magically been able to pop up into forearm stand (if only for a second - still working on that!) and headstand (still on the wall but one day I will be able to do it!). She is so encouraging, patient and funny (have you ever done a million side plank twists while slapping your ass?) that if you go to her class just one time, you will immediately crave more."

— BRooke

"Challenging, Energetic, Spiritual, and with a Touch"

The energy that Yvette brought into our practice was challenging, energetic, spiritual, and with a touch of loving kindness. And supportive. Her wonderful wit and humor kept us going in what I considered to be a really challenging class. The reading for the intention of our practice was so moving that it brought me to tears while in Child's Pose. I had a moment of gratitude and thanksgiving. What a blessing!! Her class created structure and discipline, allowing me to find inner strength and connection to God. I feel renewed, with a strong sense of awareness, a connection of mind, body, and spirit which transcends into daily life. I continue to have the most wonderful experiences of a lifetime at Pure Yoga West."

— Terry

Typically I'm not a lover of yoga because I find that it just feels uncomfortable and I never feel like I'm really getting a work out. Buff yoga was great in terms of incorporating weights to just the right amount that it didn't destroy the sanctity of yoga. Yvette was awesome- part of my struggle with yoga is that I've never had an instructor who has bothered to come by and check out my posture and alignment, which i think is really important. Yvette did that multiple times today and I was very appreciative of that. You could tell she took pride in her class and instruction and she made yoga fun for me. btw she is also 6 months pregnant and rocking a class- I'm so impressed!"

— Rate Your Burn

I have done yoga for years. I enjoy the energy and connection to my breathe and the stillness that follows as a result. It was not until I had the good fortune of walking into Yvette's class that I feel I transitioned from someone that does yoga to someone who practices yoga.
The structure is Baptiste with a twist: we flow, we practice inversions, we focus on balance, strength and core.  Her style doesn't try to force us to be perfect but to honor ourselves and the community created within the confines of the class. She pays attention to how each individual's body works, she understands our capabilities and won't allow us to give up on ourselves. "If you can you must", she says after challenging us to 3-legged chaturangas and 100 plus core strengthens or leaving us in plank as she inputs words of wisdom (in part to distract us from the burn). It's a great lesson in letting go of your expectations as each class is unique and of leaving with a renewed intention of "Yes, I can!". I should add that my legs and arms have never been so toned so there's that as well."

— SharoN

About a year ago, I started going to Virgin Yoga classes at Crunch (also taught by Yvette). Now, I go several times a week,and I always seek out Yvette's classes (Mondays at Crunch 38th, Tuesdays at Crunch 83rd, and Saturdays at Crunch W 34th!) She has a great, personal style - she speaks to details, so if you just listen, your practice can improve tremendously just by listening to her. She also seems to have eyes in the back of her head, and constantly pushes you past your own 'limits'. I'd recommend anyone try one of Yvette's popular classes - if I could follow her anywhere else, I would!"

— Jennifer

"Yvette's greatest strength is that she's very enthusiastic and motivational to students of a wide array of levels.

She's fantastic at weaving the spiritual aspects of yoga into her classes, which go beyond the physical aspects of the asana. She's very honest and authentic. She keeps things real, which is why I think her students love her."

Anthropologists have uncovered a 430,000 year old homo skull with fatal wounds that represents the earliest identified murder case in human history.

Researchers used a 3D model to analyze the skull’s two fractures in detail. Photo: Sala et al., PLOS ONE

The almost complete skull called Cranium 17, was discovered broken into 52 pieces and buried under a layer of clay in a cave shaft.

Scientists used modern forensic techniques and discovered that the victim was probably killed by two blows to the head, and then was tossed up against a cave shaft. They employed the help of 3D imaging to analyze the fractures up close and visualize the trajectory of each wound; they found that both wounds were likely caused by the same object.

“Furthermore,” the team adds, “the fractures show different orientations and different trajectories, implying that each fracture was caused by an independent impact.”

In other words, the victim was smacked on the head two times with the same object. It wasn’t an accident – it was an intentional murder.

“In the case of Cr-17 it is also possible to rule out the injuries as either self-inflicted or resulting from an unintentional hunting accident, mainly because the lesions involve multiple blows,” they add. “Based on the absence of cut marks, other potential postmortem manipulations (e.g., cannibalism, ritual manipulations, etc.) seem even less likely and more speculative.”

Furthermore, there seems to be a clear intention to kill.

“Given that either of the two traumatic events was likely lethal, the presence of multiple blows implies an intention to kill.”

Sima de los Huesos.

The researchers, led by Dr Nohemi Sala, from the UCM-ISCIII Centre for the Evolution and Human Behaviour in Madrid, added:

“This represents the earliest clear case of deliberate, lethal interpersonal aggression in the hominin fossil record, demonstrating that this is an ancient human behaviour.”

The bones were found in a cave called Sima de los Huesos – the “pit of bones” – in northern Spain. The Sima de los Huesos is a well known anthropological point, with numerous findings being reported there. In 2013, researchers found the oldest human DNA ever reported at the same cave.

It’s unclear whether the murderer threw the body in the shaft to get rid of the evidence, or whether the victim was buried there with a religious ceremony. Researchers are now searching for other bodies in other shafts of the cave to see if this was a common practice.

As far as titles go, ‘smallest snail’ isn’t really the one you’d like, but that’e exactly what Acmella nana will have to settle for. The tiny mollusk measures only 0.033 inches (0.86 mm) on average.

A tiny snail from Borneo is the smallest ever found, smaller than a period on a printed page. Identifying the shells in the wild required a microscope, researchers say.
(Photo : Menno Schilthuizen, Naturalis Biodiversity Center

When the biologists set out to find small snails, they knew exactly where to go; the limestone hills of Borneo area ideal because the shells of snails are built from calcium carbonate, the main component of limestone. The collection process is actually pretty crude.

“When we go to a limestone hill, we just bring some strong plastic bags, and we collect a lot of soil and litter and dirt from underneath the limestone cliffs,” said co-researcher Menno Schilthuizen, a professor of evolution at Leiden University in the Netherlands.

They sieve the contents, throwing away the larger objects into a bucket of water.

“We stir it around a lot so that the sand and clay sinks to the bottom, but the shells— which contain a bubble of air — float,” Schilthuizen said.

They then scoop the floating shells and sort them by size, using a microscope; usually, there’s a lot of them.

“You can sometimes get thousands or tens of thousands of shells from a few liters of soil, including these very tiny ones,” he said.

Researchers hand’t observed the species in the wild, so they don’t know what they eat or their breeding habits. However, they likely do many of the things that other small snails do – foraging on thin films of bacteria and fungi that grow on wet limestone surfaces in caves.

Due to its favorable conditions, Borneo boasts a large mollusk diversity, with over 500 snail species, but they are all very vulnerable to external influences, especially human influences. For example, a species can be limited to one limestone massif, and this limestone is quarried intensely. Scientists have already documented at least one species destroyed because its entire habitat was mined.

In addition to Acmella nana, researchers discovered another 47 snail species.

The research is published in Zoo Keys.

Incident Detection

CAUTION! Incident detection is a supplemental feature primarily designed for road use. Incident detection should not be relied on as a primary method to obtain emergency assistance. The Garmin Connect™ Mobile app does not contact emergency services on your behalf.

When an incident is detected by your Edge® device with GPS enabled, the Garmin Connect Mobile app can send an automated text message and email with your name and GPS location to your emergency contacts.

A message appears on your device and paired smartphone indicating your contacts will be informed after 30 seconds have elapsed. If assistance is not needed, you can cancel the automated emergency message.

Before you can enable incident detection on your device, you must set up emergency contact information in the Garmin Connect Mobile app. Your paired smartphone must be equipped with a data plan and be in an area of network coverage where data is available. Your emergency contacts must be able to receive text messages (standard text messaging rates may apply).

out of the fog…..back to life

Tonight the mystery lady called. I was so freaked, I handed the phone to Jesse, who had been wanting to give her a piece of his mind, but I wouldn’t let him. She sounded sincere from where I sat, I could hear. But Jesse did Not give her a piece of his mind. He was a bit bitter and cold though. She said she was going to send the money, as promised and he snickered. She said, you don’t believe it will come? He said, I’ve been given many reasons not to. She asked to talk to me and he said NO. She then said she was sending the money and maybe we would give her an apology after we received it. Then she asked him to tell me that her brother had died on Friday. Now see….if her brother had died on Friday, and we were truly friends….she would have told me that. Friday is the day she was originally to arrive, but when I called, she was still waiting on the Rv to be fixed. A few hours later, she said she left. If she returned home cuz her brother died, which is awful…..why would she not explain to me? Why act like she didn’t know me? Why not leave me a message? See, all confusing. After the two hung up….she then put up a huge spiel on FB…giving her side and making me out to be a person desperate for attention and page hits. She told her friends to go…find my blog and give me the hits I so desperately needed. And then she unfriended me. Well,

I have a voice. I want to help people, therefore, readers is a plus in that. Granted. And I have mentioned it a few times. But if you think I would lie to people, to get clicks…you don’t know me. End of story. The ac is still working well in the Rv. Hasn’t kicked the fridge off once. All it took was thicker correct electric wire, you know, the fat cord that comes with the Rv, without 200 miles of skinny yellow wires to connect to the house. Ya, I’m no electrician, but hubby has convinced me it just doesn’t work well that way. So, now the Rv is up by the pole…in full sun, no shade trees….but the ac stays on and the shades are drawn. Haha…my cave. Don’t worry….a few movements any direction and I get all the light I need. And speaking of light…I haven’t been very bright the last few months….my attention was diverted. My usual late night chats with Mayerli, and Mea and Colleen and others, kinda got put on the back burner. My apologies. I missed you the whole time. I’m back. Message or skype me anytime…any of you….but ya gotta tell me first if you’re gonna skype cuz I don’t think it’s generally on. And no…I don’t remember my skype name right this minute. Night night sweet ones. Thanks for bearing thru the craziness with me. Love you guys. 1:25am = 8 = infinity. And now…..2:08am = 1 = Everything! Night.

Wow…a huge mess, that didn’t have to be. A few words. A few words would have ceased this nastiness from ever happening. But there were no few words and it is happening. I’m sorry people that this is what you get to read. Not my typical topic. But then…what is a typical topic for me? I jump around. I highlight whats on my mind that day. And this…is on my mind. So many blogs I wanted to say that….so many blogs ago. Cathy’s not home…sure would like to talk with her. She’s very wise. And my phone ate my phone contacts….again! Yup…empty. Ahhh, hubby to the rescue…he’s feeding me contacts…..and interesting timing too, eh? Also, he found me an app to back them up for me, since this keeps happening. Ahh damn….I’m back to it again…..it just bothers me. I told the story straight out the way it happened, no twists. She added twists. And no, read my words again….I did not call YOU evil…just what was happening was evil. And as far as my son is concerned….shit…… the fines were more critical and you asked what else he needed so I told you. And it was After that…..that you told him he needed a MacAir…..so obviously money wasn’t an issue. Ahh, this is truly ridiculous. I was just sitting here minding my own business…blogging to you….and this happens. Yuk, but a purpose for everything still holds. Always. I just deleted some things…I will hold off. See how things go. It appears that she has removed the post, so I shall stop here. What I deleted would have put this to rest…but….it appears to be calming, so…..

Jesse wanted to cheer me up today so we drove into town…just for jack in the box and a smoothie. So silly and a waste of precious gas, but he knows that getting treats cheers me up. Then Cathy came over and we chatted about what to do. I have 2 sad friends at the moment, and one is coming tomorrow and the other has calmed hopefully for the night. So much sadness in the world. Didn’t get to cuddle with any babies today, oh wait…yes I did, Flower came to snuggle. And I do mean snuggle. These twins are now always the first to greet me and they just hang out. But since Flowers mishap….she likes to lean on me. Ahhh shoot…she can lean on me. Love her. And it seems I need to go do sticker burr duty. Take some hemostats out with me and pull them out….scissors too cuz some are embedded….especially the chin area. In the big boy pen too! Dang. Gonna have to break down and go pour vinegar where I can isolate the plants. The burrs are easy to see, not much the plant itself. Lila got stuck in a stick and was downed by it. When I say down…it means they can’t get up. They lay there and poo and pee…..stuck. She’s ok now….well, she was ok then…immediately went out to munch greenies. And I guess that’s it for today. So much drama. Oh ya…..Ernie is dropping the long tail feathers now at about 10 a day! That’s fast! And Lucy has more or less stopped sitting. Ok……..signing off at YeeHaw RANCH.

    • I know I’ve already answered your question, but ……I use it mostly. I’m willing to sell some, but mostly it’s for my use…..I know, right…too much! :))

Weekly News Update 16 August 2012

Days of Reckoning
National Geographic — September 2012
Um Mohammed was too frightened to divulge her real name but not too frightened to speak her mind. She showed me a cell phone video she had made three weeks earlier, this past January, during a trip home to Zinjibar to retrieve some belongings. It showed a bearded man hanging from a lamppost, his hands nailed to a wooden crossbeam. Speaking in a shrill voice muffled by the black cloth in front of her face, she said that the man, an al Qaeda operative, had been accused of spying for the Yemeni government. “He hung there for three days. It was a warning to the people: Every traitor should be killed like this.”

Yemen: Taking Charge of the Generals
PRI’s The World — 13 August 2012
The president of Yemen has begun restructuring the Yemeni army. Princeton scholar Gregory Johnsen tells Marco Werman that this power play has to be handled with care. Last Monday president Abdu Rabu Mansour Hadi transferred the command of several Republican Guards’ units to his newly created Presidential Protection Force. That force will also include a brigade from the army’s First Armored Division led by General Ali Muhsin al-Ahmar, who last year supported opposition protests against the Salih regime. Other units from the Republican Guards, commanded by former President Ali Abdullah Salih’s son Ahmad, will move to other regional commands. “I think this is a significant story and one that has been developing for some time,” says Johnsen. “This is Hadi’s latest step in his attempt to simultaneously erode the ground from beneath the feet of Ahmad Ali Salih and Ali Muhsin al-Ahmar, while the whole time not bringing Yemen’s military crashing down around his ears.” But Johnsen is wary of the new Presidential Protection Force. “One of the things that was quite disturbing about president Salih’s rule is that he did exactly this sort of thing,” Johnsen tells The World.

Amnesty International — 15 August 2012
The Yemeni authorities must set aside the conviction of a journalist imprisoned after he alleged US involvement in fatal air strikes in the country – including the use of cluster bombs – and release him, Amnesty International said today. Thursday marks two years since Abdul Ilah Haydar Shayi’, an investigative journalist specializing in counter-terrorism affairs, was arrested at his home in the Yemeni capital Sana’a, on charges of links to al-Qa’ida. He has been behind bars ever since. On 18 January 2011, he was sentenced to five years’ imprisonment. On 1 February 2011, former Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh issued an order to free him, but it was not carried out after US President Barack Obama expressed concern over the journalist’s release.

HTC Teams Up With Under Armor To Release The Grip Fitness Tracker

HTC has finally announced their long overdue wearable, the Grip. This device is a fitness tracker created in collaboration with Under Armor. This device is similar in functionality to the Microsoft Band, but doesn’t work with Windows Phone. Instead the device works with any Android device running 4.3 and up and iPhones running iOS 7 and up.

The device has a 1.8-inch PMOLED touchscreen display that displays black-and-white interface elements with basic symbols.
