Hypothesis Testing and Type Errors (Statistics Project Sample)
Welcome to the final SLP. In this assignment, you will use regression and ANOVA to analyze your data. Write a 2- to 4-page paper summarizing the following points.
Take your data and arrange it in the order you collected it. Count the total number of observations you have, and label this number N. Then create another set of data starting from one and increasing by one until you reach N. For example, if you have 10 observations, then your new set of data would be (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10). This set of data is called a time series. Run a regression using your original set of data as your dependent variable, and your time series as an independent variable. Go to the following site (using Google or Firefox) to calculate your regression: http://www.meta-calculator.com/online/?panel-403-regression-input. What is the regression equation? Interpret and explain your results.
Divide your data in half (or into two groups of 8 or less). Then use ANOVA to test if there is a significant difference between the two halves of your data. Use this site to input your data (http://statpages.org/anova1sm.html). Interpret and explain your results.
Summarize your conclusions at the end of the paper.
Module 5 - SLP HYPOTHESIS TESTING AND TYPE ERRORS
Regression analysis
Coefficient of co-relation (multiple R) + 0.1132
Coefficient of determination (R squared) + 0.0128
The regression analysis focuses on determining whether there is a pattern characterizing the data on time spent talking focusing on 16 observations. In any case, regression analysis helps to establish whether there is a relationship between the predictors, which are the independent variables and the dependent variables. This is based on the assumption that it is possible to predict observed data through fitting a model. As such, the predicted regression equation showed that the y intercept was 42.33 minutes. This was within the predicted range of 40-50 minutes. However, the regression analysis also highlights the coefficient of correlation and determination to indicate the strength of relationship between the variables.
Since the coefficient correlation is 0.1132 this shows that there is a weak relationship between dependent variable representing the days and time spent talking on the phone. One possible explanation of this is that the days cannot explain the variations in time spent talking on the phone. Values that lie between 0.1 and 0.5 have a weak positive relationship, but those below 0.1 show no relationship. On the other hand as the value of correlation coefficient nears 1, the relationship between the variables gets stronger. There is no distinction between the values of x and y in correlation analysis. In this case, the prediction ability of the regression analysis may not necessarily be sued to make predictions on the existence of a causal relationship. As such, looking at the unique factors that cause variations in time spent talking on the phone would provide more information. However, this is not a quantitative exercise, but the regression analysis is still useful to determine patterns.
The coefficient of determination also lies between 0 and 1, and a value of 0 indicates that no relationship exists between the variables, while 1 indicates a perfect l...

Personal loans are one of the great ways of generating cash for any type of expenditures. Personal loans do not require the proceeds to be spent on a specific type of expenditures. Unlike mortgage or auto loans, a personal loan can be used with any type of expenditures within the borrower's discretion. Because of the increasing demand on personal loans, it has become one of the most lucrative businesses that seemed to have branched out from banks.
There are now a large number of financial institutions that are not operating as a bank that offers personal loans. These are the institutions a borrower must be careful with. Unfortunately, there are still those who operate a financial institution without the intention of helping but aim to scam clients instead. Here are 5 ways that you can do to steer clear of personal loan scams.
Make sure you are transacting with a legit financial institution.
Business is required to show their permits to operate a business. You will need to make sure that your money lender singapore has the necessary business permits that allow them to transact as a financial institution.
Avoid transacting with "representatives" or "agents" outside the office.
Always make sure that you at least meet your agent or representative in the office. This will give you an idea and allow you to confirm that the agent is indeed connected with the financial institution.
Make sure you confirm the legitimacy of online transactions.
With the technology advancing and branching out to almost every industry, transacting online is becoming more inevitable through the days. It is not bad and should be completely avoided. What you need is to make sure that your online transactions are valid.
Make sure the financial institution has an office location.
In connection with having your transactions online, knowing their office location will allow you a place you can visit in times of problems with your online transaction.
Read reviews and research about the financial institution.
It is very important that you identify the legitimacy of the financial institution or agents you are transacting with. Researching about them will definitely eliminate the risk of getting into a scam.
Personal loans are great ways to increase or generate the cash you may need. It is also the best type of loan that will allow you flexibility and diversity in spending the proceeds. These tips can help you avoid scams and maximizing the benefit of getting a personal loan.

February 21, 2003 - September 21, 2018
BILL (talking to Juana on the phone): Is everything else going okay? Well what happened? Did Rudy go yesterday?
JUANA: Yes, it was about 3:00 and everybody was leaving, when Dr. James came with two vet techs and did his thing.
BILL: How was Rudy at that time? I know he had been going downhill for a while.
JUANA: Yes, he was. He was ready, you could tell. He hasn't been able to get up for about a week. He didn't even try to get up. He was pooping on himself and not eating. He was super, super skinny. He was just tired.
BILL: Did he put up a fuss at all, like some of the other dogs?
JUANA: No. He was ready.
BILL: That's good. It went pretty smoothly then? I spent all day yesterday looking for pictures and I realized he would have been born in late 2002. Right?
JUANA: He was younger than I thought. I looked at his paperwork and it said that he was born on February 21, 2003.
BILL: That was just a few months, before Pat passed. At first I thought you said that you were here in 2001. You weren't here until the summer after Pat passed.
JUANA: I was here at Straydog in 2001, but Rudy wasn't.
BILL: Rosie was his mother. I remember that Pat doctored his eyes too. So he would have been a pretty big pup.
JUANA: No, Pat didn't doctor his eyes. I think it was Erin and me, who took him to see Dr. Reed several times. Then he got a big ulcer on his eye, when he was a year old, and Dr. Terry diagnosed him with dry eye. He couldn't produce tears and, from then on, we gave him eye drops twice a day for the rest of his life.
BILL: I remember that now. So, he was born February 21, 2003. I will look for pictures around that time. I was looking back in 2001, because that would have made him about two years old, by the time Pat left. There must be lots of puppy pictures and we can pick one out. Did you get any pictures of the doctor yesterday?
JUANA: We didn't get any pictures of him with the doctor. But we took pictures of the crew sitting with him throughout the day. People were coming in and out all day and visiting him.
JUANA: He was never out of it. He was just lying there and he was just tired. He enjoyed the company, I guess.
BILL: He did enjoy it. I probably should have come out then. I started looking for those pictures in the morning and it took me all day, other than a little nap. I couldn't find anything. I pulled pictures from 2001 and I will get all of your pictures too. We really did a tremendous job back then. It was amazing to see the daily reports on everything. They are so interesting and it's fun to go back and read them again. I've been pulling all of the old newsletters over too. For some reason, I can't find any copies of the 2001 newsletters on the internet. We have newsletters on the internet from 1999 and 2000 that I am pulling over now. I can't find anything for 2001 and it starts up again in 2002. Anyway, he was born on February 21, 2003. That's good. He has lived a long, long life. I was going to use a James Taylor song in my report. Every day in all of the thousands of days that Rudy spent at Straydog, he was a happy dog and he woke up every morning and thought, "Soon it's going to be another day and we are going to have a good time and no one is going to take that time away." Because that is the most important element of Straydog. Don't you agree? We are giving them a happy home and that's the whole thing.
JUANA: Yes, that's the whole thing. That is our mission.

Problems Are Just Solutions in the Making
You know I'm a solutions-oriented person. I live in solutions, and I think all of the most successful people do, too. This makes change not something to fear, but something to look forward to.
Change can occur quickly, often without warning. Problems arise. It's human nature to hunker down and cling to the status quo, hoping the storm passes. Doing things in new ways can sometimes be a real challenge. The key is to think strategically rather than simply altering your tactics.
Tactical people switch up their cold-call script, adjust their daily tasks and activities, and spend their time with paperwork. Strategists are playing a game of chess: They're studying the board, thinking about the effects of moves they have yet to make, and planning ahead.
If we truly understand that problems are a matter of perspective, then we can appreciate how solutions-oriented individuals consider problems to merely be temporary—solutions in the making.
Almost all problems are solvable. The more you live in solutions, the more naturally strategic you'll become, and this can have a dramatic impact on your success and, of course, your results.
If you choose to live in solutions, the world eagerly awaits your dreams and provides every tool and opportunity you need to turn them into reality.

|Leadership Practices, Organizational Commitment, and Turnover Intentions: A Correlational Study in a Call Center
|William M. Nicholson
School of Professional Studies
University of Phoenix
Unpublished Doctoral Dissertation: January 2009
The purpose of the study was to explore the relationship between supervisory leadership practice usage and inbound call center agent organizational commitment and turnover intentions.
The study population consisted of 2,050 inbound call center agents employed in four separate locations by one call center service outsourcer (protocols, procedures, and goals were identical in each center location). The response rate was eight percent and 187 voluntarily participated by completing the Leadership Practices Inventory, the TCM Employee Commitment Survey (Meyer & Allen, 2004), and Intention to Turnover Scale (Camman et al. 1983). Internal reliability for the LPI in this study was .89 for Model, .92 for Inspire, .91 for Challenge, .89 for Enable and .94 for Encourage.
There was a significant and positive relationship between each of the five leadership practices and the two commitment forms (affective and normative), as well as with continuance commitment. The author concludes that "The current research study adds to the body of research that correlated the leadership practices with organizational commitment forms."

A look inside what you can expect at MoodleMoot UK & Ireland
Moodlers in UK & Ireland, have you heard the good news?
We at Moodle HQ are pleased to bring to you another MoodleMoot event in 2018, to be held at University of Strathclyde in the heart of Glasgow, from 24 – 26 March.
This year, we are in particular looking at Moodle presentations, workshops and updates that focus on:
- Moodle development in terms of performance enhancements, Moodle in the clouds, modernisation of the UI/UX, Moodle Mobile and more;
- GDPR compliance for your Moodle sites;
- Education in Moodle & enabled pedagogy;
- How Moodle can and is being used in unusual, creative and advanced ways throughout the country (and beyond).
Our three day conference this year will also end with a Moodle Party, where you can network and celebrate three full days of learning!
Now, if you have never been to a MoodleMoot UK & Ireland before and want to know what you can expect out of attending one of our Moots, then you'd want to read our interview with Lewis Carr.
Lewis is a long time and passionate Moodler, with a diverse career as an e-Learning manager and professional web developer across some of UK's largest higher education institutions.
Lewis is also a regular at our Moots, having attended nine MootIEUK so far. So let's see what Lewis has to say about MoodleMoot UK & Ireland.
Moodle HQ:
Thanks Lewis for taking the time to chat to us. Can you tell us your first MoodleMoot experience and what attracted you to attend initially?
My first Moot was back in 2009 held at Loughborough University. I was working as a VLE Manager at a Further Education College. It was a road trip for my team and I, we were excited to get out of the office as we didn't get out much.
I didn't know what to expect at the time, we were there looking for ideas to take our Moodle site further. The number of delegates was smaller back then, we all fit into one classroom and I met Martin Dougiamas for the first time. I got to meet so many like-minded people and remember coming back to work feeling so enthused that we spent the next several months hacking every bit of code we could to make our Moodle site even better. From then on, I was hooked.
Moodle HQ:
Since that initial attendance we have seen you at other Moots – what are the highlights that entice you to keep coming back to our Moots?
The social element for me is one of the most important parts of a Moot. These days it's all too easy to do things virtually, but you can't beat meeting a Twitter contact you've known for years in the flesh. You can watch presentations on YouTube, you can chat in forums, Skype and on Slack, but nothing will ever beat having a beer (or two) with fellow Moodlers, discussing ideas, sharing problems and putting the world to rights, oh and the presentations and workshops are great too.
Moodle HQ:
What are the things you look forward to most?
I look forward to seeing the keynotes, especially when they feature the Moodle roadmap.
I also look forward to what madness Gavin Henrick has in store for us, he's had us all singing at Moots in the past. I'm particularly looking forward to hearing more about Moodle mobile, and hopefully seeing what others are doing with the app.
I also enjoy catching up with Moot veterans, and meeting new attendees.
Moodle HQ:
As an attendee, what do you think you get most out of MoodleMoot UK & Ireland?
I love hearing stories. I enjoy listening to others talk about their Moodle experiences and it's great when I get to see what others are doing with Moodle. Although I'm an old hat at Moodle, it's great to still see so much innovation and enthusiasm.
As a designer, I love to see themes and UX elements, anything that inspires me. Whether it's a dashboard, a menu or a pretty course, I'll soak it up.
Moodle HQ:
And from the perspective of someone who is presenting, what are the benefits of sharing your Moodle stories, projects and ideas?
I've presented at several Moots, and I love to share my ideas. What's great about presenting is that you get to speak to even more people afterwards. And if your talk inspires anyone to push their Moodle site further then it's a great feeling. People open up to you more afterwards, as they realise that even Moodle experts get it wrong and wrestle with all sorts of challenges.
Moodle HQ:
Lastly, if you have a colleague or a peer wanting to attend the Moot but is slightly unsure on what professional and/or personal benefits they will get out of it, what would you say to them?
It's worth the expense! I know lots of people who want to attend Moots, but often the cost is prohibiting, especially for schools and small Further Education colleges. But it's a solid 3 days of CPD and worth every penny.
It's about convincing your employer that the workshops, break out sessions and keynotes and crammed so full of useful information that it would take you months to get this type of information solely online.
If anyone is unsure about attending, then just read the twitter backchannels. I guarantee that attending a Moot is a great investment for anyone working with Moodle.
Thank you Lewis for taking the time to chat to us! We really appreciate your time and look forward to seeing you and our many Moodle community members at MoodleMoot UK & Ireland 2018.

Playing with yarns under the influence of Pantone Fashion Color Report Fall 2012
here. It's cute! My fave are the Havaianas flip flops!) At the Pantone website I found the explanation about Pantone Fashion Home and I like the idea of so many amazing fashion designers (like Nanette Lepore, Hervé Léger, the amazing Betsey Johnson and many others!) and a fantastic group of fashion influencers (how cool is this group of people!) have researched and came up with a list of trendy colors for the Fashion Seasons. Personally I'm not a super fashion follower. But I like the Pantone's idea of finding new ways to share that bunch of great colors (as I recall, Pantone catalogues was something specific for designers) and for that, they invited skilled people with different styles. I really like it! Here is the Patone Fashion Color Report Fall 2012 for women's: And this subject was a great excuse for me to play with yarns: there's my interpretation of the Pantone Fall 2012 colors! French Roast (from the top down) - Mericash Eco Punta Yarns color brown - Puffin by Quince&Co color Twig 119 - Alpaca Sport by Madelinetosh color Betine Honey Gold (from the top down) - Malabrigo Sock color Ochre 803 - Wool of the Andres Bulky by Knit Picks color Turmeric - Loft by Brooklyn Tweed color Hayloft Pink Flambé (from the top down) - Finch by Quince&Co color Sorbet 117 - Osprey by Quince&Co color Sorbet 117 - Shepherd's Wool by Stonehedge Fiber Mill color Raspberry - Canopy Fingering by Fibre Company color Plum Tangerine Tango (from the left to the right) - Sheep(ish) by Vickie Howell for Caron color Pumpkin(ish) 0013 - Merino Silk by Abuelita Yarns color 13348 - Sheep(ish) by Vickie Howell for Caron color Coral (ish) 0014 Ultramarine Green (from the top down) - Malabrigo Lace color Vaa 51 - 80/10/10 Worsted by Madelinetosh color Rambler - Sheep(ish) by Vickie Howell for Caron color Olive (ish) 0019 Bright Chartreuse (from the top down) - Silken Kydd by Elann.com color 10 - Silk Lace by Claudia Hand Painted Yarns color Navy Olive - Sheep(ish) by Vickie Howell for Caron colorLime (ish) 0021 Olympian Blue (from the top down) - Heritage Sock by Cascade Yarns color 5604 - Loft by Brooklyn Tweed color Old World - Tosh DK by Madelinetosh color Fathom Titanium (left to right and top down) - Berkshire by Valley Yarns color Light Gray 04 - Lacey Lamb by Jade Sapphire Exotic Fibers color 962 - 220 Superwash by Cascade Yarns color 874 - Sheep(ish) by Vickie Howell for Caron color Grey (ish) 0003 Rhapsody (from the top down and left to right) - Cascade 220 by Cascade Yarns color 7809 - Kid Mohair Solid by Punta Yarns color 399 - Cotton Wool by Rowan color sh952 - Cashmere Merino Silk dk by Sublime Yarns color 0011 Rose Smoke (from the top down) - Malabrigo Twist color Zinc 613 - Koigu Kersti by Koigu Wool color K2360 - Solemate by Lorna's Lace color Buckingham Fountain 511 And there's the Pantone Fashion Color Report Fall 2012 for men's: I'll ask my knitters friends about this color selection! PeaceKnitLove to all, Paula.At Vogue Knitting Live we received cute cards from Pantone & VK with a color selection for Spring 2012. I've loved the card and even more the colors! However, at that moment, I didn't research about what was going on between Pantone, VK and this color list. This event is always so fantastic, there's so much happening at the same time that we can't afford to miss a thing! But as a curious knitter and marketing person, I already had registered in my "mind files": pantone/colors/fashion! And as I was browsing on the net, reading fashion magazines and observing fashion store's windows, there was something here and there about Pantone and Fashion Colors! ***There's an lovely fashion store in Brazil called "Farm" and they created a collection called "Farm heart Pantone. You can take a look at the video

Coconut Base Carbon Overview
Activated Carbon can be produced from any carbonaceous material such as coconut shells. Coconut shells are a renewable and sustainable choice.
Coconut base GAC pores are small and uniform making it useful for the reduction of a smaller molecular contaminants. Activated carbon adsorbs contaminants (adsorbates). The adsorbates stick to the pore; they are not absorbed into the carbon.
- Activated carbon used in residential applications should be certified to have no residual metals such as arsenic.
- For Point of Entry (POE) or whole house drinking water applications, 12×40 mesh is commonly used. 8×30 mesh is larger and 20×50 mesh smaller. Both can also be used residentially.
- Fine mesh activated carbon or carbon block is often used in the cartridges found in small Point of Use (POE) drinking water systems.
Visit our PDF Library for technical specifications and product manuals on coconut base activated carbon.
Visit our SDS Library for safety data sheets on coconut base activated carbon.
Why buy from UA?
- All activated carbon products are certified to NSF/ANSI 42. Some products meet Proposition 65 Standards. Many drinking water products are produced under the supervision of the Islamic Food and Nutrition Council of America (IFANCA) and the Kashruth Division of the Orthodox Union for Kosher certification.

Business owners usually receive dozens of emails a day. Many of them look very official, but how can you identify those that are scam emails as opposed to official HMRC communication? And, what should you do if you receive a bogus HMRC communication?
Last week we reported that HMRC have been clamping down on fraudulent text messages. This week we follow up with some tips on what what to watch out for and the best practice to follow while conducting your tax affairs on and offline, so that business owners don't end up on the wrong end of a scam HMRC email or phone call.
Spotting the Scammers
It's a sad fact that business owners are frequently targeted by scam email and phishing campaigns masquerading as official HMRC documentation. However, email isn't the only channel through which scams can occur.
As we mentioned last week, text messages, telephone and social media are all used by scammers to try to obtain a taxpayer's personal, business and banking details, usually offering tax rebates and refunds.
Spotting them is hard, as they can appear very plausible, but there are some simple rules to follow when it comes to spotting and dealing with scam emails.
Rule 1 – Never Disclose Private Information
It sounds simple, but people often get caught out by not following this number one rule. You should never disclose private information in response to communication that you're not sure is genuine. If in doubt, always check with an official or talk to your accountant before responding to any request for personal or banking information.
HMRC does issue emails and text messages from time to time, but these messages will never ask for personal details or financial information. If you receive a message asking for such details, never respond, and do not open message links, including those claiming to direct you to a form to process your tax refund.
There have also been reports of HMRC phone call scams too, which often target the vulnerable and elderly. Taxpayers are usually asked to provide bank details under the threat of police involvement if they refuse. HMRC will never do this. If you are unsure of the identity of the caller, do not engage with them and never disclose your personal details.
Rule 2 – Know How HMRC Usually Makes Contact
HMRC has stated that, with regard to tax matters, it will never use emails or text messages to notify taxpayers of tax rebates or penalties, or to request personal or payment information.
This means that any message that purports to be from HMRC will not ask for your information and will only come from a single, official email address.
Scam addresses often closely follow genuine HMRC email addresses, but with slight differences. According to HMRC, the following email addresses are scam emails, and taxpayers should neither visit the website within the email nor disclose personal information to these emails.
- firstname.lastname@example.com
- email@example.com
- email@example.com
- email@example.com
- email@example.com
- firstname.lastname@example.com
- email@example.com
- email@example.com
- email@example.com
These scam emails often use a generic email greeting, such as "Dear Customer", wherease a legitimate communication from HMRC will most likely use your name. In the same way, if the communication has asked for "urgent action" or similar, you should be wary
HMRC never requests information via social media. If you receive a message on social media asking for information, it will have been sent from a fake HMRC account and you should not respond in any way.
Rule 3 – Never Fill An Online Form Outside The Official Gateway Site
Scam emails will try to take you to an online form, which asks for personal information, such as name, address, date of birth, account number, sort code, card number, card expiry date and card security code etc. They can even generate false tax refund number.
They may look like genuine HMRC communications, but always remember Rule 1 and never disclose personal information in an online form to which you have been directed from a supposed HMRC email.
Rule 4 – Never Download or Open Attachments From An "HMRC" Email
HMRC do not send through attachments or PDFs. Whereas, scam emails may contain a downloadable attachment in PDF format, which taxpayers are encouraged to access in pursuit of a tax refund.
Never download or open the attachment or respond to the email.
Rule 5 – Forward Suspect Messages To HMRC
HMRC guidance asks taxpayers to forward any suspected scam emails, text messages or social media messages they have received to the following address:- email@example.com. Then delete the original email.
Text message scams can also be forwarded to 60599 though these are subject to network charges.
If you have been the victim of a scam, you should report it immediately. Contact the HMRC security team at email@example.com with a brief description of what has been revealed, but do not provide personal details in the email.
If you have suffered financial loss as a result, you should report the incident to Action Fraud.
Any doubts you have about any correspondence, the HMRC phishing team will be able to help you. A list of official government websites and phone numbers can be found here.
The most important rule of all is to remember that if an email doesn't seem right, or you're unsure as to the identity of the sender or caller, do not engage or respond, but notify HMRC straight away.

Again, I'm starting all over…
Month ago I had clear plan for the next 4 months. I was going to continue my journey abroad by going to Thailand for internship with Raya Divers until June. After that I would've started my summer job.
I also had a plan, that I would decrease amount of my hammer throw training and competitions during summer. Main reason, because in Thailand I wouldn't have time and place to throw hammer, so it would not be easy to start competition season after 3 months break. And I also wanted to focus on something else just for a while, for one summer. To see if I want to continue throwing, or not.
And as I have had some health issues, I wanted to find out what's going on.
But now almost everything has changed. And honestly I don't even know is it really bad, or is it actually good. Because there is also something good, so it is not fully bad.
What's going on?
That's reasonable question, and probably there's many who are waiting for answer.
So here it comes with a background story.
Last week I had left side lower back pain. Everything started unexpectedly after one hammer throw training, or more like between it and one upper body strength training.
I didn't expect anything bad, as I thought that it is just muscle soreness because of having break from training.
But after couple days, when I started to have cramps on my left hamstring while standing, I was thinking it's not normal.
I visited my physiotherapist, and told him about this issue. I didn't have much pain, and my movements were fine, so it was impossible to say what's wrong. But I had bruise on my lower back, and that was red flag for my physio, as it indicates that something is not right. Especially as I didn't have any idea how I have bruise.
But with my physio, we decided to just wait if the slight pain is just from muscle soreness, and he told me to come again during next week.
But on Tuesday I had little more pain, and I was thinking that it could be good to visit doctor. I decided to send email to my insurance company corporation company which handles payment agreements to hospitals. I wrote, that for now this is not emergency, so email is fine, and if it turns to be emergency I'll call. I told, that I might go to hospital tomorrow, or later on that week. –> so I really thought, that it is nothing. That I can go to training next morning, and after that see doctor if I feel so.
Or maybe just see doctor
On Tuesday night I slept just couple hours. At 3 am, I was thinking seriously to call taxi and go to hospital right away. My pain was just terrible.
My hate to painkillers was seen at that night, as I refused myself to take anything to ease my pain. I know, stupid idea.
I went to see doctor right away at morning, as I wanted to get out from there as soon as possible, and go home and study for exams.
Ruined plans
I was sent to MRI, and that was just a start of the pain hell what I am still going through.
At the time I was lying in the MRI tube, with huge amount of pain, and cramps on my left leg, I just knew, that something is wrong. –> and when MRI was ready, and nurse told me that I have to wait in waiting room to get more detailed results, my instinct was just getting stronger. Normally it is possible to get back after couple hours to hear results.
First I heard part of the results from the emergency doctor, but he sent me to orthopaedist to hear what to do next.
My final diagnose is herniated disc and annular tear between L4 and L5. To be honest, I am still not sure is it really herniated disc or something similar with it, as my English is not in doctor level so I can't be sure.
I think during first week I was still in some kind of dream world. Because it took a week for me to understand what's really going on.
Living in a dream world
So even if I had more pain that I think have ever experienced before, I thought that I can go to next Sunday competitions.
Even if I had to spend two nights in hospital I was thinking like that.
Even if I went to nerve root block injection, I was thinking like that.
Literally, lying on the hospital bed, I was thinking that I can go to competition after a week.
I think it was more like, that I knew I can't, but I wanted to believe that I can.
Check-up visit
This Monday I had check-up visit with my doctor. And I decided to ask, when can I get to training, and what I can do and what I can't.
Answer hit me hard, very hard. "Oh yes… your hammer throw… Well…"
It can take 9
freaking months to get back. When I was in hospital insurance company doctor called me, and I asked same question from him. He told me that it takes time to heal, but at least for a month I can't do training. And if I have much pain and it disturbs my normal life, then surgery should be considered.
So 9 months came as surprise. But even if I would like to listen Finnish doctor, I rather actually believe doctor in Singapore. Because he has seen me, and he has just sent some documents to insurance company, but probably not all.
On Monday and Tuesday, I was miserable. I finally realized how serious this is. That I can't just think "I have one competition, and after that I'll take a break." It doesn't work like that. My tear is not biggest possible now, but if I do training with pain, it will grow. And it will make even more issues.
My first thought was, that I have to get out from Singapore over a weekend. I can't go to watch competitions, as I would go to compete even if I can't.
I was so ready to buy a flight tickets away from Singapore, so that I would not need to keep myself away from the field.
Inner strength
I decided to find my inner strength, and instead of escaping trying to face the truth.
So I started to do my physiotherapy program, started to accept, that I have injury which takes time.
I started to think, that I can't do training, but I can do good with my knowledge of hammer throw. I can go to give instructions to my group mates, to see how they do their own personal records.
I can do good, and that way get my own life back together.
I can't throw my life away because of this, I can have bad days, and that's normal. But I can't decide to give up.
Also when my coach (here in Singapore) sent me message and asked about my situation, I told her truth instead of trying to say that I might go to competition. After that I felt so good, because I knew after telling her I just can't go to compete.
"Take a deep breath, pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and start all over again." ~ Wise words by Frank Sinatra
I rather think, that this is new beginning, not beginning of the end.
Going day by day, hour by hour. And one day I will be able to go week by week.
After approximately two weeks, I'm going back to home. Back to Finland.
And even if that wasn't what I first wanted, I have to say, that I can't wait to get back. To my family and friends, to home.
This have been a real journey of life, which I won't never forget.
A lot have happened, and at the same time there could've happened even more. I wanted to do more training with an awesome Taekwon-Do and throwing group. But unfortunately that wasn't possible. So I hope, that someday I am able to come back, even for a short holiday, to have training with everyone again.

Nov. 20 (UPI) -- Janet Weiss addressed her exit from Sleater-Kinney for the first time.
The 54-year-old musician said during Wednesday's episode of The Trap Set with Joe Wong podcast that she left Sleater-Kinney because she was no longer a creative equal in the band.
Weiss initially joined Sleater-Kinney in 1996 and played drums for the band for 24 years. She left the group this year after a conversation with bandmates Carrie Brownstein and Corin Tucker.
"The rules changed within the band, and they told me the rules changed," Weiss said. "I said, 'Am I just the drummer now?' They said yes. And I said, 'Can you tell me if I am still a creative equal in the band?' And they said no. So, I left."
Weiss said she, Brownstein and Tucker attended counseling sessions in an attempt to resolve their issues prior to her departure. She referred to her former bandmates as "family."
"I mean, I will never play with two people like that again. They are totally unique, incredible, intuitive players. It's a lot to walk away from. It's my sisters, my family," Weiss said. "But I couldn't be in that band and have it not be equal, especially with what it represents to me. It represents equality."
Weiss announced her exit from Sleater-Kinney in an Instagram post in July.
"The band is heading in a new direction and it is time for me to move on," she said at the time. "I will never forget the heights we reached or the magnificent times Corin, Carrie and I shared."
Brownstein and Tucker responded to Weiss' post on the Sleater-Kinney account.
"We are saddened by Janet's decision to leave Sleater-Kinney," the pair said. "We thank her for joining us on this journey many years ago; we will always cherish our friendship and our time together."
Weiss canceled her planned solo tour in August after she was injured in a "scary" car crash. She told The Trap Set host Joe Wong she expects to make a full recovery.

Freshening a stagnant schedule
By JENNA FRYER
AP Auto Racing Writer
Tuesday, March 26
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — NASCAR made the first significant changes to its schedule in years by shuffling the 2020 season into a freshened new sequence that tries to meet the wants of fans to the best of NASCAR's current ability.
"The fans and the industry as a whole have been vocal about the desire for sweeping changes to the schedule, and the 2020 slate is a reflection of our efforts to execute against that feedback," said Steve O'Donnell, NASCAR executive vice president and chief racing development officer.
The 2020 schedule was released Tuesday at ISM Raceway outside Phoenix, which got the season finale following a $175 million renovation to ISM Raceway.
Indianapolis Motor Speedway got July 5th to give the iconic track back-to-back summer holiday weekends; the event will follow the Indianapolis 500, a mere 42 days after that Memorial Day staple. IMS President Doug Boles said the Brickyard was the correct "venue to throw a massive party for our nation's birthday."
The July 4th holiday had belonged to Daytona International Speedway, but it gave up the traditional and often rain-wrecked event to claim the final race of the regular season, Aug. 29 when the championship field is finalized.
Daytona track President Chip Wile said the July race now created a chance at a "potential walk-off home run moment for a driver to solidify a playoff berth."
Pocono Raceway will run both its 400-mile races on back-to-back June afternoons, Martinsville Speedway got a Mother's Day race under the lights and also a slot in the playoffs — one of three short tracks featured in NASCAR's 10-race playoffs. Even better for Martinsville, it got the penultimate race for the championship finale.
Bristol and Richmond short tracks both joined the playoffs, as did Darlington Raceway.
Martinsville in 2017 became the first major motorsports facility in the U.S. with a state-of-the-art LED Lighting system and will finally get to use them for a big-league event on the Saturday night before Mother's Day. Speedway President Clay Campbell noted fans have asked "literally every single day since we installed the lights" when Martinsville would have a Cup race at night.
The season ends one week shorter than usual, but still includes 38 events that run from a Feb. 9 exhibition race at Daytona through the finale on Nov. 8 at renovated ISM Raceway outside of Phoenix. That includes consecutive weekends off for the first time in the modern era so that NBC Sports can focus on the Tokyo Olympics.
Charlotte Motor Speedway retained the All-Star race, but Speedway Motorsports chairman Marcus Smith told The Associated Press he was amenable to moving the event to Nashville in 2021.
Smith said IndyCar was also welcome to negotiate doubleheader weekends with a handful of SMI-owned tracks, among them Las Vegas during its new playoff date in late September that offers cooler temperatures than last year's sun-roasted playoff opener. IndyCar has not raced at Las Vegas since Dan Wheldon's fatal 2011 accident.
Smith also welcomed talks with IndyCar on the "Roval" at Charlotte Motor Speedway and as a NASCAR companion to Texas during its fall event. IndyCar aims each year to end its season earlier than any of Smith's ideas for SMI-owned tracks.
Although he is open to doubleheaders with IndyCar as soon as next season, Smith was a firm 'No' on midweek races. Fans have asked more short tracks, road courses, and even dirt track Eldora Speedway to be added to the stagnant annual schedule, and industry stakeholders have asked for midweek racing during the summer in an attempt to shorten the length of the season.
NASCAR seemed open to the idea but was handcuffed by five-year sanction agreements with its existing track partners. The sanctioning body won't have the flexibility to add new venues to the schedule until the contracts expire in time for the 2021 schedule.
It meant NASCAR could only swap its existing partners to the interests that suited all the parties involved. As for the midweek races, Smith was firm in that it was not a financial risk he was willing to make with one of the eight SMI venues with Cup races. He would have done a doubleheader, but said he believes it should be a unique event and special to Pocono.
"We did enough vetting of midweek events that it became clear what a difficult reality it would have been for not only the tracks, but the teams we spoke to said there would be a strain for them, too," Smith said. "If someone else wants to do a midweek race, we wish them luck, but it is not for us."
SMI scored victories in moving Atlanta into a weather-friendlier date in March, as well as the first visit to Texas moving a week after hunting season opens. Bristol is now the first elimination race of the playoffs, while the roval at Charlotte is the eliminating race of the second round of the playoffs. Las Vegas also follows the Feb. 16 Daytona 500 as the first race of NASCAR annual trip West.
International Speedway Corp., the company controlled by the NASCAR-owning France Family, moved the season finale to ISM Raceway outside of Phoenix. The company last year received a massive facelift and there simply hasn't been enough of a buzz worth keeping the championship finale event at Homestead-Miami Speedway anymore. The track has hosted the final race since 2002 and the Cup series champion has been the race winner since the current format was introduced in 2014.
ISC shoved a race there in March, a month few track operators want because of weather concerns that shouldn't be as big an issue in the Miami area.
Martinsville is perhaps the big winner with not only a race under its new lights system, but a race that will decide the championship field of four.
The playoffs now begin at Darlington on Sept. 6, go to Richmond, Bristol, Las Vegas, Talladega, Charlotte, Kansas, Texas, Martinsville then finally ISM Raceway outside of Phoenix.

Rookie Herta wins IndyCar Classic at 18 years old
By JIM VERTUNO
AP Sports Writer
Sunday, March 24
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Everything went Colton Herta's way on Sunday, from the victory on the race track to the sparkling wine on the podium instead of apple cider.
The 18-year American rookie became the youngest winner in IndyCar history when he captured the IndyCar Classic after a late-race crash near the entry to pit row helped him steal past the leaders to the checkered flag.
Flanked on the podium by 28-year-old Josef Newgarden and 38-year-old Ryan Hunter-Reay, Herta was handed a bottle of sparkling wine for the victory celebration while someone handed Newgarden the cider.
Glug! Herta, still well under the legal drinking age of 21, took a big drink.
"I didn't switch back," Herta said. "I took a swig and said, 'This is real!"
Newgarden was impressed.
"They gave me his drink, and gave him mine. Which is very cool of Texas," Newgarden said.
Herta's win also delivered the first victory for Harding Steinbrenner Racing , where George Steinbrenner IV — yes, of the Steinbrenner baseball family — is the youngest co-owner in series history and the youngest owner of a race-winning car at age 22. After the victory, the New York Yankees tweeted congratulations to the victors.
"In this sport it takes perfect execution and a little bit of luck," Steinbrenner said. "We caught the little bit of luck … and Colton did the rest."
Herta was running a distant third behind Team Penske's Will Power and Andretti Autosports' Alexander Rossi until James Hinchcliffe bumped rookie Felix Rosenqvist into a spin and then the wall near the entry to pit lane.
Power, who started from pole position and dominated through 45 laps, lost his big lead when the caution flag came out, and then had his race end with a driveshaft failure during his last pit stop for a late tire change. Rossi finished ninth.
Power started from pole position and could have earned a $100,000 bonus if he had won the race.
"Massively disappointed man. (To) lead so many laps," Power said. "The yellow didn't get us, the drive shaft did."
Herta still had work to do to stay ahead of Newgarden and Hunter-Reay, both former IndyCar champions. Herta dialed up the speed that made him so quick on the track in preseason testing.
"He's been quick since he hit the track," Hunter-Reay said. "At first sight I wouldn't trust that guy with my Honda Civic, but he's very talented. This is the big league and he just won an IndyCar race."
The previous youngest race winner was Graham Rahal in 2008 at age 19. Herta turns 19 on Saturday.
"One race win isn't enough. I want to get another," Herta said.
IndyCar didn't enforce track rules that apply to the Formula One cars the Circuit of the Americas was built for. That led to some wide racing and ultimately the crackup that cost Power his chance to win.
The cars were allowed sweeping runoffs through turns and Rosenqvist and Hinchcliffe touched as they were coming out of a wide run on Turn 19 near pit lane. Two days earlier, Rosenqvist said he likes the open racing without track limits and Power said they should be enforced.
Hunter-Reay and Newgarden said the issue will have to be addressed before next year's race.
"I'll be happy not to see Turn 19 again for a couple of weeks," Hunter-Reay said. "You are rolling the dice a little bit in there."
Rosenqvist had a tough day even before his crash. After an impressive fourth-place finish in his debut at St. Petersburg, the Chip Ganassi Racing driver started fifth and promptly lost three positions at the start. He had a spin midway through the race and then the crash to end his Texas weekend.
After a first and second in the first two races, Newgarden leads the driver's standings with 93 points and Herta is second with 75.
"Colton drove flawlessly. It's big to win your first IndyCar race," Newgarden said. "We have to have podiums when we're not winning races to win the championship."

IndyCar Classic a "home" race for Foyt family
By JIM VERTUNO
AP Sports Writer
Friday, March 22
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Larry Foyt's memories of the Austin area mostly involve water skiing and packs of adolescent boys sneaking a peek at the nudist beach in an area called Hippie Hollow.
The president of A.J. Foyt Racing would like to add something new to the mix: a checkered flag or at least a more realistic push for a top 10 finish at the inaugural IndyCar Classic at the Circuit of the Americas this weekend.
Being back in Central Texas makes the newest stop on the IndyCar circuit a "home race" for the Foyt family, just a couple of hours from their home base near Houston. Larry's brother went to the University of Texas and the family spent all summer on nearby Lake Travis when Larry was growing up.
"Mom always loved the lake," Larry Foyt said. "We'd spend all summer there jet skiing, knee boarding, all the good stuff."
That included IndyCar great A.J. Foyt taking his turns on the skis and sometimes taking someone's money. The story goes that A.J. Foyt would pretend he couldn't ski and make a bet he could be a quick learner. After a few falls, he'd be out of the water and slaloming on one ski.
"Always competitive," Larry Foyt said.
And then there was Hippie Hollow, the "clothes optional" area of the lake that would draw more than a few giggles from Larry and his friends. And it wasn't just the kids. A.J. made a point of driving his guests over on the boat to get a look and a laugh.
"It was 'C'mon, you gotta see this,'" Larry Foyt said. "I remember being a little kid and my brother messing with, pretending they were going to throw me overboard at Hippie Hollow. I was little and was like 'No!'"
Larry Foyt's first visit to the Circuit of the Americas was in 2012 for the track's first Formula One U.S. Grand Prix. He has been waiting for IndyCar to drive here ever since.
"When you saw what they were doing, and doing it first class, immediately for me it was 'When is IndyCar coming here?'" he said. "We're the premiere open wheel series in the United States and we need to be here.'"
The 3.41-mile circuit might not be the best course for team drivers Tony Kanaan and Matheus Leist. Kanaan was 15th in the season opener at St. Petersburg and Leist completed just 25 laps after hitting Ed Jones, who had stopped after hitting the wall.
Leist was 13th in Friday's morning practice, well off the pace of session leader Josef Newgarden. Kanaan was 21st. A top 10 finish Sunday will be the goal, Larry Foyt said.
"This type of track has been kind of our Achilles heel the last year or two," Larry Foyt said. "We just need to start building momentum going into Indy. We still have a lot of focus on Indianapolis and feel we have a shot to win it."
Despite being close to home, A.J. Foyt won't be at this week's race after attending the season-opener two weeks ago in St. Petersburg, Florida, and NASCAR's Daytona 500 last month. The 84-year-old four-time Indianapolis 500 winner had back surgery in July and then a staph infection, but Larry Foyt said he's not at the race this week because he's trying to get some property ready to sell.
Leist said the team will miss having A.J. around the garage.
"It's always good when he's at a race," Leist said. "It was nice to have him around getting tips from him about the car. It was a great time."
With A.J. Foyt's history of tractor accidents and encounters with bees — a 2005 bee attack left him with more than 200 stingers in his head — Larry Foyt can't help but wonder what message will be on the other end if the phone rings from back home.
"At this point, he's lived through it all," Larry Foyt said. "You wait for the story. It's bound to be good."

Iditarod competitor whose dogs quit says they got spooked
By MARK THIESSEN
Associated Press
Saturday, March 23
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — The Iditarod musher who was hours ahead in the Alaska wilderness race when his dogs refused to keep running dismissed critics who say he ran them too hard and chalked it up to a bad memory that spooked them.
The team stopped last week after Frenchman Nicolas Petit yelled at a dog that was bullying another, but they "did not slow down like a tired team would," he said.
It came a year after they got lost in a blizzard near the same spot along the Bering Sea coast — close to the finish line of the 1,000-mile (1,600-kilometer) Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race that takes global competitors across mountain ranges and wind-swept ice.
"I wouldn't say it's a curse for me, I just had a bad time last year and lingering effects of the bad time this year," Petit said.
It was pure coincidence that it happened at the same point in the race, he said.
"They remember that we didn't have a fun run," going through the snow the wrong way, Petit said Wednesday, sprawling out on a friend's sofa in Anchorage.
Dogs from his team piled on top of him and licked his face. Also nosing their way in for attention were Joey, who was the bully on the trail, and Danny, the younger male dog who was bullied.
When Petit withdrew from the race this year, he said it was a "head thing" for the dogs.
Then the blowback began — in press releases, on blogs and on social media. The most vocal critic of the race, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, said it wasn't the dogs that needed their heads examined, it was anyone who supports "the merciless race."
Others speculated that Petit overexerted the dogs, they were mistreated or were mentally unfit to run. Petit denies it all.
"This isn't any type of a reason to get rid of what I consider my children — the dogs I raised," Petit said. "No, I won't get rid of them. They are the most important thing in my life."
He also said he's "stopping plenty" along the grueling route, preferring to rest outside checkpoints and along the trail when possible, where he says it's quieter and the dogs get more sleep.
Libby Riddles, the first woman to win the Iditarod in 1985, said the sport requires a fine balance between being competitive and keeping the dogs happy — something she said Petit excels at.
"People have this idea that you can force these dogs" to the finish line, Riddles said last week. "It's not like that at all."
In 2018, Petit rested his dogs at a cabin between checkpoints before the disastrous run in the blizzard. He planned to stay at the cabin again this year but leave it with a well-rested team.
Video shows an energetic and eager dog team entering and leaving the first checkpoint.
Within a mile of the cabin, the dog dustup happened. Joey, a 2-year-old and the only non-neutered male on the team, was behind Danny, a 16-month-old pup. Every time Danny slowed down, Joey would pick on him.
Finally, Petit yelled, "Joey, that's enough!"
"I raise my voice a little bit and they are all like, 'Oh, boy, that's not normal,'" Petit said. "I try to be as calming and collected with my dogs as possible all the time, so they heard an upset daddy."
The team refused to keep going. He tried walking ahead of them to see if they would follow and putting different dogs in the lead. Other mushers came by, but even that didn't rouse the dogs.
They finally got the mile to the cabin. Fourteen hours after the dogs stopped, they took off but didn't make it far. Petit took them back and pushed the panic button on his GPS unit, effectively withdrawing from the race.
A snowmobile brought food and then carted the dogs off the trail.
Petit still expects to compete in next year's Iditarod. He's said he's planning to take his dogs next week to the problem area — the Bering Sea coast — to show them the fun they can have on that stretch of the trail.
"And that it's not always blowing, and we don't always get lost, and it can be a very positive experience as opposed to the last two years," he said.
Kentucky governor says he exposed his children to chickenpox
By BRUCE SCHREINER
Associated Press
Wednesday, March 20
FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin said in a radio interview that he deliberately exposed his children to chickenpox so they would catch the highly contagious disease and become immune.
During a Tuesday interview on Bowling Green radio station WKCT, Bevin said his children were "miserable for a few days" after contracting chickenpox but said "they all turned out fine."
"Every single one of my kids had the chickenpox," Bevin said in the interview. "They got the chickenpox on purpose because we found a neighbor that had it and I went and made sure every one of my kids was exposed to it, and they got it. They had it as children."
Bevin and his wife, Glenna, have nine children, four adopted.
Public health authorities strongly discourage the practice of deliberately exposing children to chickenpox, a medical expert said Wednesday.
"It's unfortunate and not an example for any of us," said Dr. William Schaffner, an infectious disease specialist at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, Tennessee.
"We should vaccinate all our children. It's a great triumph of public health in the United States. Let's not take a step backward," he added in a phone interview.
Bevin's office did not immediately respond to an email request for additional comment Wednesday. Bevin is seeking a second term as governor in this year's statewide elections in Kentucky.
The Republican governor said Tuesday that parents worried about chickenpox should have their children vaccinated. But he suggested that government shouldn't mandate the vaccination.
"Why are we forcing kids to get it?" Bevin said in the interview. "If you are worried about your child getting chickenpox or whatever else, vaccinate your child. … And in many instances, those vaccinations make great sense. But for some people, and for some parents, for some reason they choose otherwise."
Kentucky requires that children entering kindergarten be vaccinated for chickenpox, but parents may seek religious exemptions or provide proof that a child already had the disease.
Bevin's comments followed reports this week of a chickenpox outbreak at a Kentucky Catholic school.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends two doses of chickenpox vaccine for children, adolescents and adults who have never had chickenpox and were never vaccinated, according to its website. Children are routinely recommended to receive the first dose at 12 through 15 months old and a second dose at 4 to 6 years old, it said.
"What the governor and other like-minded folks are unaware of is that there are potentially serious complications of chickenpox," Schaffner said.
Complications from chickenpox can include bacterial infections, pneumonia and encephalitis — inflammation of the brain, according to the CDC. Complications aren't common in healthy people with the disease, it says, but high risk groups for complications due to a serious case of chickenpox can include infants, adolescents, pregnant women and people with weakened immune systems.

Thank you to the California Strawberry Commission for sponsoring this post and the beautiful Strawberry and Fennel Barley Salad within it!
You guys know I love grain salads, so it only makes sense that one of my new favorites is this Strawberry and Fennel Barley Salad.
This dish makes a great entrée or side. If you're having it on its own, add some chickpeas and avocado to the mix to amp up the protein and healthy fat. If you prefer it as a side, it makes a fabulous one. We enjoyed this last week with some grilled steak; it would also make a fun and different holiday dinner or potluck side dish!
As with all of my recipes, this one is extremely easy (and quick) to make. To make it come together even faster, you could use 90 second brown rice instead of barley, although the barley adds a lovely chew – it's one of my favorite grains.
Do you guys put fruit in your salads? The highlight of this salad is certainly the beautiful, juicy, and sweet strawberries.
Did you know that 90 percent of the nation's strawberries come from California? (I took a trip to the strawberry farms this spring if you'd like to read more about where most of our strawberries come from!) Also, a fun nutrition fact: 8 strawberries contain more vitamin C than an orange! No scurvy for us. ;)
The fennel is another big highlight – have you had it before? It's delicious! Nice and crunchy with a subtle licorice flavor. Great in salads!
And you can use the greens as well as the bulb – just use them like any other herb.
As for the dressing, feel free to get creative, but I used my standard easy favorite: homemade balsamic vinaigrette.
