I was born in Dublin, Ireland and moved to Australia in 1997. I fell in loved with this place and its people. One specific person comes to mind, and thats my Aussie wife of course. It wasn't until around 2009 that I first picked up my first DSLR camera. I had taken thousands of horrible photos of my young son and when my daughter came along I decided I would buy a camera and learn how to take nice pictures of my kids. Like most people that buy a camera. I fell in love with photography and not long after that I fell in love with landscape photography. I now spend most of my time shooting landscape photos but I also spend a lot of time in my photography business shooting for portrait, wedding, and commercial clients. Photography is my life and its what I intend to do for the rest of it. I also love the fact that I have now moved into the area of teaching others what I have learned over the years. How good is it when you can make a living doing what you love. I am truly blessed.

While we have been dreaming of football coming home, over on the other side of the world, some incredible people have shown us what can be achieved when we are called upon to operate at the very peak of our abilities. The Thai footballers were saved, successfully in a daring, and doubtless terrifying cave rescue operation. They really did come home.
So, when does stress cross the line between the good stuff that brings out the best in us to the negative pressure that causes short and long-term damage to individuals and businesses? And how, as employers and managers do we prevent and manage this part of our legal duty to ensure the health (both physical and mental) of our employees?
Stress at work and the mental health issues that surround it are so often seen a mystery area, a dark art or a hazy zone of guess work and speculation – but it does not need to be this way. There is good, solid guidance out there that will show us how to deal with the difficulties that we face, and to help us place ourselves and those we manage on the right place on the Yerkes Dodson stress/performance curve (yes – this is where research and science meets proper management standards).
To find out more about the relationship between stress and performance, and to find out exactly what the law requires us to do, we need to get educated. The knowledge is out there and its simpler than you might think.
HCS Safety's new training course – Mental Health Awareness – Preventing and Managing Occupational Stress will help you to do just that. You can book onto a course at our Southampton training centre, or we can provide training and guidance in your own workplace anywhere in the UK.

If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart. (Nelson Mandela)
This has been one of my favourite quotes ever since. Languages are about communication, connecting people and different cultures.
Years ago I met a businessman on a train. He told me that when he went abroad, he made sure he knew at least a couple of phrases in that language. Even if he ended up mispronouncing them or using them in wrong contexts, people would still immediately feel at ease with him. Indeed, I noticed it myself; When I came to the UK, not knowing anyone, just the attempt of my teacher to greet me in my mother tongue made me smile and feel more welcome and comfortable.
You live a new life for every new language you speak. If you know only one language, you live only once. (Czech proverb)
The limits of my language are the limits of my universe. (Ludwig Wittgenstein)
I'm also strongly agreeing with these two quotes. Every time I started to learn a new language another door opened for me, allowing me to discover a different culture or world. This simultaneously gave me the chance to reinvent myself… (see this article!)
Now if you're feeling unmotivated to learn for your language exam(s), read some inspiring quotes! 🙂

About Gfsi Holdings LLC
Hanesbrands Inc. is the world's largest marketer of basic apparel. It designs, manufactures, and sells bras, hosiery, men's underwear, socks, and other intimate apparel under brand names such as Hanes, Champion, Bali, Just My Size, L'eggs, Playtex, and Wonderbra. In the US, Hanesbrands sells more units of intimate apparel than any other company and is the leading brand in several basic apparel markets in Europe and Australia. Hanesbrands also makes basic outerwear, such as T-shirts and licensed logo apparel for college bookstores under the Champion and Gear for Sports labels, and has license agreements with Donna Karan and Polo Ralph Lauren. The lineup is sold to wholesalers, major retail chains (Walmart and Target), and through Hanesbrands' own outlet stores and Internet sites. Operations in the US account for more than two-thirds of the company's total sales.
Hanesbrands divides its operations into three segments: Innerwear, Activewear, and International.
Innerwear accounts for about 35% of revenue and includes core apparel products, including men's underwear, women's panties, children's underwear, and socks, and intimate apparel, such as bras and shapewear. Major brands in the Innerwear segment include Hanes, Champion, Maidenform, Bali, Just My Size, Playtex, and products sold under license agreements with Polo Ralph Lauren, Donna Karan, and DKNY.
The International segment includes innerwear, activewear, hosiery, and home goods products sold outside the US. This segment represents about 35% of the company's total sales. Major brands in this segment that are not marketed in the US are Bonds, DIM, Sheridan, Bras N Things, Nur Die/Nur Der, Lovable, Berlei, Abanderado, Shock Absorber, Zorba, Explorer, Sol y Oro, and Bellinda.
Activewear (about 25%) makes and sells shirts, fleece items, sports bras, thermals, and teamwear under the brands Champion, Hanes, Alternative, Gear for Sports, Just My Size, and Hanes Beefy-T.
Geographic Reach
Based in Winston–Salem, NC, Hanesbrands sells its products globally, ringing up almost 70% of its sales in the Americas region, followed by Asia Pacific and Europe, each generating about 15% of total sales. The company operates some 45 distribution centers and about 50 manufacturing facilities in 40 countries. It also operates close to 240 retail and direct outlet stores in the US and Puerto Rico and nearly 700 internationally (outside the US).
Sales and Marketing
Hanesbrands is highly dependent on its two largest customers, Walmart and Target, each accounting for about 15% of total sales. Mass merchandise stores are vital to the company's performance, accounting for about a third of Hanesbrands' revenue. Hanesbrands also allies with mid-tier stores, including Kohl's, J. C. Penney, Macy's, and Belk, which focus on higher-income consumers and the sale of apparel rather than other consumer goods. Its L'eggs and Hanes brand underwear are also sold in food, drug, and variety stores. Hanesbrands also sells apparel to the US military for sale to soldiers and through discount chains, such as Dollar General. About 65% of the company's revenue are wholesale sales to retailers and 35% comes from consumer-direct sales through the company's own stores and e-commerce sites.
Advertising expenses average about $150 million annually.
Financial Performance
Hanesbrands' annual sales and profits have been growing over the past few years as new brand acquisitions have spurred higher sales in more geographic markets. Net sales for fiscal 2018 amounted to $6.8 billion, a more than 5% increase from $6.5 billion the previous year. The acquisition of Bras N Things in 2018 and Alternative Apparel in 2017 added $177 million to the company's top line in 2018. Other growth factors were higher global sales of its Champion brand and favorable currency exchange rates in the International business.
Net income was $553.1 million in 2018, comparable with past years, excluding 2017. In 2017, net income dipped to $61.9 million due to a large provisional charge of $435 million for income tax expense that year (due to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act).
Cash at the end of fiscal 2018 was $433.0 million, an increase of $11.5 million from the prior year. Cash from operations contributed $643.4 million to the coffers, while investing activities used $418.7 million, mainly for business acquisitions and purchases of property and equipment. Financing activities used another $200.5 million for loan payments and dividends to stockholders.
Hanesbrands continues to follow its Innovate-to-Elevate strategy that involves leveraging its brand power, manufacturing platforms, and low-cost global supply chain. The company has also been expanding its global business by acquiring top brands in its less-tapped markets. Going forward the company will focus on fast-growing key geographies outside the US including Europe, Australasia, Japan, Canada, Mexico, China, and Brazil.
Key to Hanesbrands' success is the ability to react to changing customer needs and industry trends. Using insights in consumer demand in the basic apparel industry, the company develops new products within its existing lines and modifies core products to make them more appealing. The company focuses on identifying 5- to 10-year, long-term megatrends and incorporating those trends in its manufacturing platforms. The company targets platform innovations, such as tagless apparel, temperature-control fabrics, and odor protection technology, that can be leveraged across brands, product categories, business segments, and geographies.
To drive sales growth, the company is focusing on promoting its Champion brand apparel, especially in Europe and Asia, and its business through consumer-direct channels, such as its own stores and online channels.
Hanesbrands' large scale of operations gives it a competitive advantage. The company's global supply chain spans both the Western and Eastern hemispheres and includes a combination of owned, contracted, and sourced manufacturing operations that provide a reliable source of supply and reduces product cost. Plans are in place for further optimization in the size, scale, and production capabilities of its supply chain.
Mergers and Acquisitions
In early 2018, Hanesbrands acquired BNT Holdco Pty Limited (Bras N Things), a leading specialty retailer and online seller of intimate apparel in Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa, for $389.2 million. The acquisition complements Hanesbrands' consumer-directed sales strategy and allows for greater expansion in the Australasia region.

This garland from The Purl Bee was my first glimpse of the garland rage and it came late in the summer on Say YES! to Hoboken (I think, it's been spotted many places since then). I've since seen many others that are so fun and hope to use them as inspiration for projects in the near future. Here are a few:
Ali Edwards made a felt one for Christmas. I think it'd also be neat with pink, white and red for Valentine's Day.
Cupcake Liner Garland from My Favorite Things.
Paper Garland on Kiddley (a great site, by the way!) Again, this one has me thinking Valentine's Day.
And look! Here's a Flickr pool of nothing but garlands.
There are so, so many more. Check them out!

100 Million Served
As we swing into MIT OpenCourseWare's 10th anniversary year, I've been taking a look at the data from the past decade. Really, this is the data from October 1, 2003 to present, as the program was announced April 4, 2001, and it took 2 1/2 years to get to the official launch. Looking at the numbers, there is a good case to be made that OCW has reached as many as 100 million people in our first decade. Here's how:
- Direct use: We've welcomed 50 million unique individuals directly to the site since 2003. Web metrics always come with caveats, and I could interpret the stats 10% higher or 10% lower, but this is a good round number.
- Translation site visits: Our translation affiliates maintain their own sites, and some are better than others about reporting traffic, but we've had 32 million visits reported from them. Divide this by the 1.8 visits per visitor historic ratio we have and you get just under 18 million visits. This doesn't reflect significant numbers of unreported visits, so let's round up to 20 million.
- Redistribution sites and programs: Since we began redistributing our content through iTunes U and YouTube, we've received reporting indicating 17 million downloads from iTunes U and 15 million YouTube views. The ratio of views/downloads per visitor is going to be higher than the visits/visitor above (plus there is overlap with some folks watching embedded YouTube videos on our site) so let's say 2.5 views/downloads per visitor. This would mean roughly 13 million more. We are redistributed by a number of other sites (AcademicEarth, Videolectures.net) and we have sent mirror sites to 250 universities in bandwidth-constrained regions, so lets add another 2 million for this. This brings our running total to 85 million.
- Secondary uses: OCW materials are licensed for reuse, and we actively encourage visitors, especially educators, to download and reuse the materials. We know that many educators do, and are thus bringing OCW materials to large numbers of students who never visit our site. It's a bit of a finger in the wind to figure out how many people this might represent, but let's take a stab. Educators are 10% of our visitors historically, so 5 million educators. Forty-six percent of faculty responding to surveys indicate they have reused OCW materials. This is almost certainly an overcount, as the survey respondents are self selected, but how many would have to have reused OCW content to have shared it with 15 million students? Assuming each teacher might share the materials with 50 students (a conservative number I hope), that would mean that 300,000 educators would have had to reuse OCW materials in the past ten years. That's 6% of the educators that our metrics indicate have been to the site. This seems reasonable, if not conservative.
Fifty million direct, 20 million to translations, 15 million to redistribution sites, and 15 million through secondary use = 100 million. All of these numbers are squishy and there's some overlap between them. Maybe it's in the 80 million range; maybe it's higher than 100 million. Even in rough numbers, it's truly humbling to roll it all up this way, and a testament to the generosity and vision of the MIT faculty.

Here we're continuing from a previous post - Day 224: What's the First Step to Caring For Real? For reference, here's where we left off from:
Something we don't tend to realize/be aware of is how much of the consequence we face in reality and in our relationships is a result of this simple point of separation, where we've formed a relationship toward each other of not caring, where we have justified even being nasty, spiteful, and even just apathetic toward others, and that's what I'll go into more in the next post to come, to see why is it that we would even want to care about others – to see what difference in one's own life would that make? So until then, you can start to simply become aware of these moments in your day to day living where you actually go into/participate in some form of separation/spitefulness toward another, as that is the first step to sorting ourselves out as a whole, which is going to have very positive results, as you'll see more in the next post.
So, why is it in our interest to care about others? It sure may not seem like it is in the moment, it's so easy to go into a point of spitefulness or nastiness as it's been so accepted as an underlying and automatic part of our nature and behavior. But, within this, we haven't yet effectively connected the dots between our behavior and the consequence of that behavior. With some things in life, consequence is remarkably obvious. Say for example, hitting your finger with a hammer, the consequence is immediate and direct – injury to your finger and most likely a good deal of pain. However, when it comes to human relations, the consequence is often more indirect. But once you see it, is still quite obvious.
I mean, we know that for most of us, ourselves included, life is no 'walk in the park'. We know that we have a tendency to be 'thrown off' by just one person being nasty to us, where we will say 'now my whole day is ruined'. We allow how others treat us, to affect us, and in turn, affect how we treat others. When someone is nasty to us, we become nasty ourselves, and don't even now notice who we're actually being nasty toward. You can see how this just perpetuates and endless cycle round and round, so that the next time you experience someone as being nasty to you – you really have to ask yourself, do I know what is going on in that person's life? What their day was like? What they're going through? Because, it's really usually not about you at all, as you can see for yourself, when you're in the same situation, in a reaction toward something that happened to you maybe earlier that day, and is affecting how you are interacting with others in a totally different moment.
When we stop the automatic reaction of taking things personally, we stop that cycle. Within this, not only do you gain a will power to not automatically get sucked into reactions that would then 'ruin your whole day', and in fact cause more consequence, but you will rather become more aware of what is actually going on in reality, see solutions more easily and have more of an understanding of what is going on around you. You'll have a self-stability to remain calm and prevent unnecessary stress, which can tear down your physical body. And you'll prevent a lot of unnecessary consequence in other's lives, which ultimately comes back to you in a direct and indirect way, through your own immediate interactions on a daily basis, and in general as we're doing less to antagonize others as well.
In addition to this, you develop an integrity with yourself where you know that you are no longer blindly adding to the problem, but are sorting yourself out and becoming the solution, no longer accepting and allowing yourself to justify spitefulness toward others. And this integrity would also come through in your relationships with others and will open up the opportunity to develop more substantial and stable relationships, since you've shown yourself to be someone who is actually trustworthy and consistent, meaning not like friendly one moment and nasty in another.
Here I would suggest taking the free DIP Course to assist and support yourself with getting more into the detail of how to walk this process of sorting out such patterns that we've automatically become that have become such a detriment to our living.

1. Ankle Strain or Sprain
Many people don't realize that having a lot of pain in an ankle can actually mean there is a deeper problem. Lots of runners like to think that they are invincible, but the fact of the matter is that ankle strain and a sprain is one of the most common injuries athletes experience.
A sprained ankle occurs when a runner rolls, twists, or stretches their ankle too much and manages to pull the ligaments which keep ankle bones in place.
When stretched, these ligaments need to heal to keep the joint stable.
For a lot of people, a sprain can be more painful than a break because the muscles and ligaments are constantly in use and are stretched all the time.
The best way to handle ankle pain after running that may be a strain or sprain is to rest, avoid too much walking or running, and ice the injury. Some prefer to use heat, so it's important to do whichever one is more comfortable.
Injured individuals should also try to exercise and keep ligaments flexible and strong. The University of Michigan Medical School recommends stretches such as range of motion exercises. These can be simple things like attempting to trace each of the letters of the alphabet with one's toes.
This video demonstrates how to do the alphabet stretches as well as a few additional exercises someone can do to improve their range of mobility.
2. Tendinitis
According to the Mayo Clinic, tendinitis is the inflammation of a tendon. Tendons are fibrous collagen tissues which connect muscles to bone. They serve an important function throughout the body, especially in the joints.
Tendinitis has tons of different names in the athletic world because it is a common injury for professionals and amateurs alike.
Some of these include tennis elbow, golfer's elbow, swimmer's shoulder, and jumper's knee. The condition appears from regular muscle strain which occurs when someone repeats the same motion over and over again.
Like sprains, the best way to deal with active tendinitis is to take it easy for a while. This can mean not running as frequently or taking it down a notch to relax.
Sufferers of severe symptoms should go see a doctor to make sure there isn't an underlying condition causing the problem.
There are a few ways to prevent tendinitis from occurring:
3. Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome
This is a rarer cause of ankle pain than the other inclusions on this list but is still very common to see in runners.
Tarsal tunnel syndrome occurs when the tarsal nerve in the ankle is compressed from too much pressure and use. It's basically the ankle version of carpal tunnel syndrome.
According to Healthline, some of the symptoms of tarsal tunnel syndrome include sharp, stabbing pains around the foot and ankle, the feeling of pins and needles in the foot, and a burning sensation.
The syndrome is more likely to occur in people who have arthritis, diabetes, or previous ankle sprains and strains.
So, what can a runner do?
Unfortunately, there isn't much that can be done to prevent it. Doctors recommend regular rest, stretching, and icing to deal with pain. Taking at-home anti-inflammatory treatments can also help. In severe cases, surgery might be needed with a doctor's recommendation.
4. Ill-Fitting Shoes
The lack of good support in running shoes can lead to lots of pain for the individuals wearing them. Inadequate arch support can cause plantar-fasciitis and stretched muscles.
A lack of general support can also lead to stretched or torn ligaments and cause some of the problems seen above.
Running shoes should be comfortable and match the contours of a foot. This means that while there should be room for the skin to breathe, the shoe should not move around or squeeze the flesh tightly.
Many people actually wear shoes which are too large or too small since they don't know what footwear should feel like.
Road Runner Sports provides some good guidelines athletes can follow to find good running shoes.
These include:
Wearing shoes that fit are the best way to prevent ankle pain caused by shoes which lack support.
People who can't purchase a new pair of shoes might need to hold off on running until they can do so because messed up ligaments and tendons aren't worth extra calorie burning and muscle building.
5. Overuse
Believe it or not, but people can run too much. Too much exercise can sap the muscles and make people more prone to injuries like sprains, strain, and inflammation. To avoid this problem, the only thing runners can really do is take a break from more rigorous exercise.
Instead of going for a 5-mile run, an individual could have a short jog or go for a brisk walk. If the pain persists, then it might be time to rest for a few days and quit cold turkey (temporarily).
Ankle pain is extremely common in runners and shouldn't be ignored. Sufferers should take a break from more rigorous exercises, ice or apply heat to the joint, and in general take it easy for a few days to make sure the pain doesn't worsen.
So if you ankle hurts after running and it doesn't go away, then it might be time to see a doctor to make sure there isn't an injury.

Today, we're talking desserts!
I'm going to start with Kokomo's king of
dessert . . . J. Edwards. This fine establishment is located at 2106 W. Sycamore Road. There is a huge assortment of goodies to choose from, such as the carrot cake, cookies, and éclairs to name a few. However, my focus will be on the Banana Split Cake – three layers of greatness! It's exactly what the name insinuates. It stands almost a foot tall, with layers of banana, strawberry, and chocolate cakes. The icing is sugar creamy goodness. I've always been a chocolate cake lover at birthday time, but next December 26 (my birthday), I'll be requesting a Banana Split Cake from J. Edwards. Check out their homemade chocolates. Wow, that's the only word that will describe all those chocolate goodies. I hope by the time you read this article, they will have those delicious deluxe caramel apples back.
It's the beginning of Fall, but ice cream is always a favorite. Scoops, located at 1231 W. Jefferson and 408 Arrow Street, has a variety of ice cream treats to please everyone. From Super Man to Butter Pecan or even sugar-free choices, this ice cream parlor has become a family favorite of locals. My favorite is Bear Claw. Hmmmm . . . rich chocolate ice cream with caramel ribbons and nuts! Yummy, yummy, yummy. Ok, I know I'm getting a bit carried away, but it's my all time favorite ice cream.
Next up is the signature dessert at Pastarrific, located on Kokomo's Southside at 3001 S. Webster Street. I had never had Crème Brulee, but this was an unexpected treat. This custard-style dessert is awesome. It has a caramelized sugar atop creamy custard with sweet sauce drizzle. As we all know, Pastarrific is one of Kokomo's restaurants of choice, but next time you go, save room for dessert.
Once again, the new kid on the block makes the list. Voted as Kokomo's favorite Patio Spot for best atmosphere in last month's issue, The Quarry, located at 2130 W. Sycamore Street, has a Chocolate Layered Cake to die for. Chocolate cake, chocolate ganache, hot fudge, whipped cream, and ice cream. OMG! Natalie, my server, informed me that everything is homemade, even the whipped cream and ice cream. She tried to tempt me with a Snickers Frozen Pie and a Blueberry Cheesecake, by placing ALL three of these scrumptious desserts in front of me. Ok, I can't lie. I did try all three, but I had back up with me. My husband, who never eats desserts, downed the Chocolate Cake, and then had the nerve to ask for milk. My friend, Anton, hovered over the Cheesecake like a kid over a cereal bowl! Needless to say, all three desserts were super fantastic.
Due to my waistline, I only visited a few local establishments seeking great desserts, but I'm sure there are great sweet treats all around town.
Next issue we will explore Kokomo's favorite local pizza joints. Leave a comment and let me know where you go for great pizza!

The Celebration Begins
The Giants have won the World Series for the first time in my lifetime. Heck, almost in *Bruce Bochy's* lifetime. I have to go up a couple of cousin to find a relative alive the last time the Giants won the World Series (plus my elder half sister, who died in the 60s, was two in 1954).
Fireworks of questionable legality are going off in the background. And plenty of cheering.
And the Schwab Cup Championship starts later this week, which could have created an interesting city…

What is a problematic total hip replacement?
There is no doubt a total hip replacement is the operation of the century. It is one of the top three interventions that can be performed in any branch of medicine including cataract surgery and renal transplantation surgery.
The problematic total hip replacement is one which continues to be painful or is unstable. Sometimes other issues such as a leg length inequality may be causing a problem.
The problem may be clinically silent and is sometimes only picked up on X-ray such as wear or osteolysis. Your surgeon will advise you if this is the case.
Patients can present with a vague non-specific pain in and around the hip. Alternatively, they can present with a more specific pain often related to the groin. Patients with instability or dislocation often present in a much more dramatic fashion by dislocating their hips and reduction is invariably required in hospital. Patients with leg length discrepancy often present early and may require a shoe raise to equalise their leg lengths. In rare situations, patients with an infection can become acutely unwell and require an urgent debridement of the hip.
What can cause problems?
The problematic total hip replacement can be divided into those extrinsic to the hip replacement, such as concomitant spinal issues leading to referred pain. Causes intrinsic to the hip replacement include:-
- Periprosthetic infection
- loosening, impingement
- squeaking, trochanteric bursitis
- dislocation
- leg length discrepancy
- septic or aseptic loosening
- recurrent dislocation
- prosthetic or periprosthetic fracture
- adverse reactions to wear
- debris such as osteolysis and metallosis.

OpenSQL Camp Europe: Some last-minute changes to the schedule
In just two days the OpenSQL Camp Europe (hosted by the excellent FrOSCon) will kick off!
We've had a few last-minute changes to the schedule, as some speakers could not make it due to visa or family issues. But we managed to keep all slots filled on both days and I think we've come up with a very nice program! In addition to the two sessions I already had, I've volunteered to take over Giuseppe's talk about Shooting from the Hip. MySQL at the Command Line.
The most up-to-date version of the schedule is on the OpenSQL Camp Wiki, I expect the remaining changes to be reflected on the FrOSCon schedule during the day as well.
I would like to express my special gratitude to the folks at Percona, who really did their utmost in order to find replacement speakers for their accepted talks.
I look forward to this weekend. And if you're interested to attend: I still have a few vouchers for free admission to the conference left over. Please contact me directly if you'd like to get one – first come, first serve! See you on Saturday!

OpenSQL Camp Europe: Time to cast your votes!
If you wonder why there hasn't been an update from me for quite a while — I just returned from two months of paternal leave, in which I actually managed to stay away from the PC most of the time. In the meanwhile, I've officially become an Oracle employee and there is a lot of administrative things to take care of... But it feels good to be back!
During my absence, Giuseppe and Felix kicked off the Call for Papers for this year's European OpenSQL Camp, which will again take place in parallel to FrOSCon in St. Augustin (Germany) on August 21st/22nd. We've received a number of great submissions, now we would like to ask our community about your favourites!
Basically it's "one vote per person per session" and you can cast your votes in two ways, either by twittering @opensqlcamp or via the opensqlcamp mailing list. The procedure is outlined in more detail on this wiki page.
As we need to finalize the schedule and inform the speakers, the voting period will close this coming Sunday, 18th of July. So don't hesitate, cast your votes now! Based on your feedback we will compile the session schedule for this year's camp. Thanks for your help!

Thoughts about working in a distributed organization
I've been working in a fully distributed work environment for almost 8 years now (I joined MySQL AB in April, 2002). Therefore I've been reading Toni Schneider's blog post about the "5 reasons why your company should be distributed" with great interest – he raised several points that I fully agree with and which I covered in my talks about "Working for a virtual company - how we do it at MySQL" at last year's next09 conference (slides, video) and at FrOSCon 2009 (video).
However, Toni draws a profusely positive picture here, or, as my dear colleague Dean pointed out "The blog overly simplifies the realities of a distributed workforce, making it sound like it's all ponies and rainbows".

How to get your product bundled with Linux distributions
I recently received a question from Robin Schumacher at Calpont, the makers of the InfiniDB analytics database engine for MySQL: "How would you recommend we try and get bundled in with the various Linux distros?"
Since this question has come up several times before, I thought it might make sense to blog about my take on this.
First of all, please note that there is a difference between "being part of the core distribution" and "being available from a distributor's package repository". The latter one is relatively easy, the former can be hard, as you need to convince the distributor that your application is worth devoting engineering resources to maintain and support your application as part of their product. It's also a space issue – distributions need to make sure that the core packages still fit on the installation media (e.g. CD-ROMs or a DVD). Therefore they take a very close look at each package and if it's really needed to be part of the installation medium or if it's fine to provide it for download from a package repository instead.
Distributors prefer to keep their core product small and restricted to the "basic OS building blocks". While MySQL might still be considered to be a part of this, this probably does not apply to the various plugins and extensions that are available for it. Therefore the best approach is to invest some engineering time and start doing the packaging yourself, either by hiring an engineer capable of creating and maintaining the packages, or by finding someone in your community who has the required experiences and is willing to do it.
While it's of course possible to set up and maintain your own build and package hosting infrastructure for that, I recommend to make use of the existing services provided by the distributors.
The top tier distributors all provide means of offloading the maintenance of "non-core" packages to their community, offering various options for packages to be made available. For example, Novell/openSUSE provide the free "Build Service", which is capable of building packages for other distributions as well (e.g. Fedora, Mandriva, Debian/Ubuntu, etc.). In addition to automating the builds, the Build Service also takes care of the distribution via their download mirror network and ensures that your application can be found via their package search interface.
Red Hat/Fedora provide something similar, named "Koji" – but it's "Fedora only". Here's a HOWTO that outlines the process of becoming a Fedora package maintainer.
Ubuntu/Canonical have "Personal Package Archives (PPAs) – if your project is hosted on Launchpad already, that might be something to look into for providing Debian/Ubuntu packages. Alternatively you could join the Debian project and start building and maintaining your package there. They maintain a list of "Work-Needing and Prospective Packages", a description of the process on how to become a new maintainer is outlined here.
If you'd like to target Solaris/OpenSolaris as well, there is the OpenSolaris Source Juicer – a web service which allows OpenSolaris community developers to build packages (using RPM spec files) and publish them for review, so they will be included in an official package repository. The Software Porters Community Group coordinates, advocates, encourages and helps with the porting of Software from multiple Platforms to the OpenSolaris Platform.

Building MySQL Server with CMake on Linux/Unix
CMake is a cross-platform, open-source build system, maintained by Kitware, Inc.
From the CMake.org home page:
CMake is a family of tools designed to build, test and package software. CMake is used to control the software compilation process using simple platform and compiler independent configuration files. CMake generates native makefiles and workspaces that can be used in the compiler environment of your choice.
It has been used for building the MySQL Server on Windows since MySQL 5.0 – the initial CMake build support was added in August 2006.
For building MySQL on all other platforms, the GNU autotools (autoconf, automake and libtool) are currently being used.
CMake is used in some other MySQL projects as well, e.g.
On February 22nd, Vladislav Vaintroub pushed the changes required to implement WorkLog#5161 "CMake-based unified build system" into the "mysql-next-mr" branch (aka the "Celosia" mile stone).
From this version on, CMake can also be used to build MySQL on Linux and other Unix platforms. For the time being, the autoconf/automake files are still available as well, but will be phased out once the CMake build enviroment has reached the desired level of maturity. The change was announced on February 28th on our "internals" developer discussion list.
The purpose of WL#5161 is to simplify the MySQL build system. It is much easier and less error-prone to maintain a unified build system for all platforms than two separate ones.
CMake has been chosen because of several reasons; the worklog description lists a few pro-CMake arguments (slightly rephrased):
I'd like to mention a few additional reasons:
The CMake Wiki lists a number of other "nice to have" features.
From a developer perspective, I hope that it will make it much easier to finally implement two things that many developers working with MySQL have been waiting for (now that the build code has been cleaned up):
Building MySQL with CMake is quite simple and straighforward – the process is outlined on the MySQL Forge Wiki. The document is still work in progress and we'd like to encourage you to take a look at it, try to follow the steps and update/improve the Wiki page, if needed! Your feedback on the build process is appreciated. Feel free to join our internals mailing list to discuss your impressions and observations or submit a bug report via the Bug Database. It's likely that the build still has a few rough edges that we'd like to fix quickly (e.g. BUG#51502 – a fix for this one is already commited to the mysql-next-mr-bugfixing source tree and will be merged into the mysql-next-mr trunk soon).
If you're new to CMake, you might want to take a look at the "Getting Started With CMake (An End-User's Perspective) For Cross-Platform Building" screencast or the "Running CMake" article.
Happy hacking!

Back from SAPO Codebits in Lisbon - a summary
Last week, my colleagues Giuseppe, Kai and myself attended the SAPO Codebits event in Lisbon, Portugal. Codebits is an annual, invite-only hacking event, which went on for three days. The venue they chose this year was the "Cordoaria", a former rope factory located in the Belém district, close to the 25 de Abril Bridge (which is an impressive sight!). I have been told that the Cordoaria is the longest building in Portugal and I have no doubts about that! The building is so long that the crew used bicycles to get from one end to the other. I've taken a number of pictures from the event as well as from Lisbon itself, you can find them in this flickr set.
The organizers described this year's event as follows:
3 days. 24 hours a day. 600 attendees. Talks. Workshops. Lots of food and beverages. 24 hour programming/hacking competition. Quizz Show. Rock Band Contest. Lots of gaming consoles. More food. More beverages. More coding. Sleeping areas. More fun. An unforgettable experience.
I wholeheartedly agree, we had a great time! The conference started with sessions and presentations on a wide range of topics on the first two days. Afterwards, a 24-hour programming contest was held. I was invited to give two talks, one being my all-time favourite about "MySQL High Availability solutions" (slides, video), the other one was titled "Why you should be using a distributed version control system (DVCS) for your project" (video, slides). Both went quite well and the feedback I received was pretty positive. Giuseppe talked about "MySQL Schema Migration" (slides, video) and gave an "Introduction to Gearman" (video). Kai's talk was titled "Think before you develop" (video) and gave a nice roundup of tips and best practices for setting up and developing new web projects.
The Codebits session schedule was filled with amazing and interesting talks in four parallel tracks. Sometimes it was hard to choose – some other talks I attended and enjoyed:
Walter gave a lockpicking workshop after his presentation, which I attended as well. I was quite impressed (and a bit shocked) to find out how easy many locks can be opened this way! Later that evening there even was a live band named "Pornophonique" playing (one guy with a guitar, the other one using an Nintendo Game Boy for making music), but I missed that show as I was too busy opening more locks... Fortunately the concert and most of the sessions were recorded on video (in excellent quality) and are already available from the SAPO video pages. Kudos for this speedy service!
But this just matches my overall conclusion of this event: very well organized, great speakers and venue. Thanks to the organizers for having us, we really enjoyed our stay!

Aspects and benefits of distributed version control systems (DVCS)
This blog post is a by-product of my preparation work for an upcoming talk titled "Why you should be using a distributed version control system (DVCS) for your project" at SAPO Codebits in Lisbon (December 3-5, 2009). Publishing these thoughts prior to the conference serves two purposes: getting some peer review on my findings and acting as a teaser for the actual talk. So please let me know — did I cover the relevant aspects or did I miss anything? What's your take on DVCS vs. the centralized approach? Why do you prefer one over the other? I'm looking forward to your comments!
Even though there are several distributed alternatives available for some years now (with Bazaar, git and Mercurial being the most prominent representatives here), many large and popular Open Source projects still use centralized systems like Subversion or even CVS to maintain their source code. While Subversion has eased some of the pains of CVS (e.g. better remote access, renaming/moving of files and directories, easy branching), the centralized approach by itself poses some disadvantages compared to distributed systems. So what are these? Let me give you a few examples of the limitations that a centralized system like Subversion has and how these affect the possible workflows and development practices.

Some friendly advice for bootstrapping your OSS project
So you're a small startup company, ready to go live with your product, which you intend to distribute under an Open Source License. Congratulations, you made a wise decision! Your developers have been hacking away frantically, getting the code in good shape for the initial launch. Now it's time to look into what else needs to be built and setup, so you're ready to welcome the first members of your new community and to ensure they are coming back!
Keep the following saying in mind, which especially holds true in the Open Source world: "You never get a second chance to make a first impression!". While the most important thing is of course to have a compelling and useful product, this blog post is an attempt to highlight some other aspects about community building and providing the adequate infrastructure. This insight is based on my own experiences and my observations from talking with many people involved in OSS startups and projects.

My upcoming event schedule for this year
This time of the year is usually a very busy one, as there are plenty of events and conferences to attend. Just take a look at our calendar of OSS events on the MySQL Forge to see what I mean! Here's a quick summary of the ones that I will attend and speak at until the end of this year:
On November 14-15, I'll attend the openSQL Camp in Portland (OR), USA. I missed the first one that took place in Charlottesville (VA) in 2008, but had a lot of fun organizing the European Edition earlier this year. The upcoming one will be more like an unconference again - the list of proposed sessions looks very interesting and the attendee list reads like a "who is who" list of the OSS database community.
On December 3-5, I'll be joining Giuseppe at SAPO Codebits in Lisbon, Portugal, which is going to be a very cool event: "3 days. 24 hours a day. 600 attendees. Talks. Workshops. Lots of food and beverages. 24 hour programming/hacking competition. Quizz Show. Rock Band Contest. Lots of gaming consoles. More food. More beverages. More coding. Sleeping areas. More fun. An unforgettable experience". I will be talking about my favorite topic of MySQL High Availability (I'm currently working on revising my slides based on several excellent discussions about MySQL HA that happened on Planet MySQL in the past weeks) and about the benefits (both social and technical) of using a distributed revision control system (DVCS) like bazaar, git or mercurial for your open source project.
Shortly after Codebits, I will attend SLAC 09, the "Secure Linux Administration Conference" in Berlin, Germany (December 10-11), where I will give two MySQL-related talks (in German) - my usual suspects, but in revised and extended form: MySQL High Availability solutions and MySQL Backup & Security best practices.

FOSDEM Call For Participation opened - submit your talks now!
FOSDEM, the Free and Opensource Conference, will again take place in Brussels, Belgium on Saturday and Sunday (6th and 7th February, 2010). Now happening for the 10th time (congratulations!), it is one of the largest Open Source conferences in Europe, with a strong focus on developers. Sun/MySQL have been regular sponsors of and contributors to the event in the past and it is alway a great experience to be there. It's very rare to meet so many well-known and bright people from such a wide range of OSS projects.
They have now opened their Call for Participation - the organizers are seeking input on talks for the main conference tracks (deadline: 2009-11-22) , lightning talks (deadline 2009-12-28) and project stands (deadline: 2009-11-22).
As for the last conference, we plan to apply for a MySQL developer room (and maybe a project stand, anybody interested to join? Please contact me!). However, the web site currently states that they are "slightly reworking the concept of developer rooms", so it remains to be seen what this will turn into. In any case, we will set up our own call for papers, once the developer room allocations have been finalized (and we were lucky). I was initially thinking about running another OpenSQL Camp, but it's probably too short after the upcoming one in Portland...
If you have an interesting talk about a MySQL-related subject, consider submitting your proposal now! We will gladly review and comment on your proposal in advance, if you would like to get our input or need suggestions about topics! Thanks.

FrOSCon/OpenSQL Camp summary
First off, I would like to thank all of the participants and supporters, particularly my colleagues Regina Steyer and Iris Musiol for the perfect logistics and co-sponsoring as well as Uli Graef, Thorsten Frueauf, Matthias Schmidt, Alexander Rubin and Joerg Moellenkamp for manning the Sun booth and the help on site.
Another big Thank You goes out to my team mates Giuseppe and Colin as well as to Sheeri K. Cabral, who were a big help in keeping the OpenSQL Camp on track and by supporting the event by giving talks. In addition to that, Sheeri recorded most of the OpenSQL Camp sessions on video and published them in record time!
So here's a quick summary of both events from my side, starting with the main conference.
Sun was a Gold sponsor of the event and we had a booth right at the main entrance area; it could hardly be missed. It consisted of two large and two small desks as well as a divider behind them. For demos, we had a (slightly noisy) Sun Fire X2200 M2 Server and four SunRay 2 Thin Clients (which by themselves triggered a lot of questions and curiosity by many visitors). The booth was flanked by rollup-banners on both sides as well as various posters attached to the divider. Here's a picture of our booth before the event opened:
We also had a number of talks in the main conference track (both German and English):
The comments and ratings of these sessions were generally very positive. Our booth was well attended, especially during the session breaks. In total, there were over 1.400 visitors at the conference over the two days.
I personally did not attend many sessions in the main conference tracks, as I was too occupied with the OpenSQL Camp and the booth organization. However, I managed to listen to Uli Graef's talk, which was a very technical and interesting session about ZFS features and internals. Being a big fan of ZFS myself, this was a very worthwhile session to be at and my impression was that it encouraged others to take a closer look at this truly amazing file system.
The second talk I attended was Sunday's keynote by Dries Buytaert from the Drupal project about "The Secrets of Building and Participating in Open Source
As for previous FrOSCons (is that the proper plural?), there was a social event scheduled for Saturday evening, providing barbecue (Steaks and Sausages as well as vegetarian dishes) and drinks. This event usually takes place outside and is always an excellent opportunity for networking and talking with key people from other OSS communities and projects. And there was plenty of time for talking - the queues for the grilled food were long...
Here is a list of other blogs and articles about FrOSCon that are worth a read (in no particular order and both German and English):
In addition to the main conference tracks, FrOSCon also provided a number of so-called "Developer Rooms" to OSS projects, so that they could organize sub-conferences or hackfests of their own. We applied for a room to set up a conference dubbed "OpenSQL Camp", related to the topic of Open Source databases, which was approved.
We then sent out a call for papers and invited people from the many OSS database communities to join us and talk about their projects. Every session proposal was published on the OpenSQL Camp web site and people were able to vote on the sessions they were most interested in via email or twitter:
The organization and scheduling of the talks and speakers was done via the FrOSCon conference system (Pentabarf), which made it very easy to perform this task and also made sure that the OpenSQL Camp sessions were included in the main conference program. Below is a full list of sessions at our subconference (see the FrOSCon Program page for abstracts, speaker info, links and slides). We had two cancellations by speakers on short notice, but were able to cover the gaps with ad-hoc presentations. I'd like to send a special thanks to Geert Vanderkelen, who gave a great presentation about MySQL Cluster despite the very short notice and some technical difficulties at the beginning!
Most talks attracted between 20-50 attendees and we had a great mix of topics from several different database projects (with a slight majority of MySQL-related talks). The Panel Discussion (moderated by me), called the "OSS Toolshed Shootout" went quite well and the speakers had a good time answering questions on various topics about their projects. Thanks again to all OpenSQL Camp speakers for making this event a success!
All in all I think that both FrOSCon and OpenSQL Camp were well worth supporting and attending - we were able to provide insight and trigger some interesting discussions among the OSS enthusiasts and developers in the audience. It was also a good opportunity in get in touch with many people of other OSS communities, fostering the MySQL (and other Sun OSS projects) ecosystem.
Here is a Flickr slide show of my own pictures - more photos can be found in the FrOSCon Gallery and the links page on the Wiki.
I personally look forward to next year's FrOSCon - a Big Thanks to the organizers for another great event!

OpenSQL Camp 2009: Session schedule published - pre-register now!
I'm happy to announce that the schedule for OpenSQL Camp 2009 (European Edition) has been published on the FrOSCon timetable now. We have a great selection of topics and speakers, so don't miss it! OpenSQL Camp is a subconference of FrOSCon, the Free and Open Source Conference, which will take place on August 22nd and 23rd in St. Augustin, Germany.
The admission fee for the entire conference (both days, incl. OpenSQL Camp) is 5 EUR, you can pre-register here until August 10th (and if you do so today, you will still get a free T-Shirt as well!). Of course, you can also just show up at the entrance and pay the entrance fee on site. The OpenSQL Camp will be located in Room C120 - see the instructions on the FrOSCon web page on how to get there and where to find accommodation.
In case you can't make it to Germany for the European Edition, Eric Day and Selena Deckelmann have started to organize another OpenSQL Camp in Portland, Oregon which will take place on November 14th and 15th. More details can be found on the OpenSQL Camp Wiki. Space is limited to 120 attendees, so sign up today and reserve your spot!

OpenSQL Camp 2009: CfP has ended, vote for your favourites until July 26th!
The Call for Papers for the OpenSQL Camp 2009 (European Edition) has ended yesterday — we received 27 excellent session proposals from various Open Source Database projects. I would like to say a big "Thank You" to everyone who submitted a talk! In the beginning I was a bit concerned that the conference would become too MySQL-centric, but this fortunately changed in the last few days.
Sadly we now have more than double the amount of sessions than we can actually host, which means that we will have to review and vote on the sessions to distill the final program. We've formed a small committee that will perform this task (currently consisting of Sheeri, Giuseppe and myself) and is in charge of finalizing the schedule. But you can help us with this! We are seeking your input on which sessions you would like to attend until Sunday, July 26th (12:00pm PST).
The system basically asks for "one vote per person per session", giving you a chance to influence the program yourself: you can cast one vote for each session by either stating you would be interested in attending it (+1) or not interested (-1). Additionally, you can add a comment for each vote to provide a reasoning for your choice. Ideally, you should of course plan to actually attend our event, but you are welcome to tell us what you would have been interested in, in case you can't make it to the Camp. See the OpenSQL Camp wiki page for more details and instructions. You can submit your votes via Twitter or the OpenSQL Camp mailing list.
We look forward to your input!

Spent another week keeping my FIL company in the hospital as he slowly but steadily recovers from heart surgery.
Scarlett did suffer from two flat tires though; the sidecar and pusher tires had to have their inner tubes replaced at the nearby powersports dealership.
In the process, found that the threads on the bracket that holds the pusher's brake caliper had stripped and so I had to order a part from Ski at Triquest as he had it onhand. It's not a part that's regularly stocked so I lucked out on that.
Also found issues with the mounting hole for the aft bolt for the sidecar wheel's brake support bracket but a run through with the right tap (M10 x 1.25) from the local hardware store fixed the threads and a new similar bolt finished that repair.
Because of a series of clear, cloudless days, not much in terms of sunset pictures since I wasn't going to ride Scarlett with an "iffy" brake assembly. Probably doable but since there was no need.....
Instead, here's a couple of pics of a hummingbird looking for nectar in the Aloe Vera flowers located on my FIL's porch.
One evening as I was headed back to my FIL's condo, the sky was lit nicely in peach colors:
Friday's sunset was not bad, lots of pastel colors:
My sister-in-law, Laura, is scheduled to fly in tonight (assuming her flight isn't grounded by the current snow falling in the Detroit, MI area) and I'll be leaving Sun City soon after on my way back to Colorado.

A summary of a paper given in the RIST seminar, King's College London
In his Philosophical Consolation, Boethius defined 'eternity' as 'totally simultaneous and perfect possession of interminable life.'[1] Where Meister Eckhart (ca. 1260-1329) refers to this quote,[2] he highlights Boethius' dynamic concept of life (vita) with a God who simply is present: 'God is "beyond" eternity because of his presentiality.'[3] Now, how can be beyond eternity,[4] beyond being endlessly divine? Eckhart's reasoning starts with an explanation of Ex. 15:18: 'The Lord will reign for ever and beyond.'
This hyperbolic 'and beyond', which goes further even than 'for ever', caught Eckhart's attention. To Eckhart, the conventional reading of eternity reduced to a radical presentiality was 'not subtle enough'. Whereas for Thomas Aquinas neither have there been, nor will there be infinite things in reality,[5] since, as he understands his Catholic faith, generation has a beginning and will have a definite end and therefore cannot be infinite,[6] to Eckhart, Ex. 15:18 'plainly and briefly intends to say that God's kingdom will always and infinitely stand beyond any measure of counting or conceiving'.[7] In what is almost no more than a further allusion, Eckhart adds what turns out to be the core of his explanation: 'What goes for God's knowledge is equally true about his kingdom and rule. "We will walk in the name of the Lord our God forever and beyond that" (Mi. 4:5).'[8] Whereas before Eckhart was speaking of divine knowledge only in which God understands infinite potentiality and actuality, the reference to Mi. 4:5 transfers divine knowledge to 'us', to God's creatures. God's being beyond himself means that he is enabling 'us' to walk in God's name forever 'and beyond'. What this walking of creatures in God's name entails is further expounded in the newly published first volume of Markus Vinzent, The Art of Detachment, Meister Eckhart: Texts and Studies (Leuven, 2011):
[1] Boethius, Phil. Consol. V pr. VI (CSEL LXVII 122,12): 'Aeternitas igitur est interminabilis vitae tota simul et perfecta possessio', adapted from Plotinus, Enn. III 7,3,37-8.
[2] Eckhart, Expositio libri Exodi n. 80 (LW II 84,3-9).
[3] Eckhart, Expositio libri Exodi n. 80 (LW II 84,3): 'Deus est ultra aeterna praesentialitate' (trans. of this and further passages from this Expositio by B. McGinn, in Meister Eckhart: Teacher and Preacher, 1986, 71, trans. altered).
[4] An idea, already present in Proclos, see Proclos, Elem. 87; C.J. de Vogel, Some reflections on the Liber de causis (1966), 78.
[5] Karl Barth, Church Dogmatics, vol. II/1, trans. Geoffrey W. Bromiley and Thomas F. Torrance (Edinburgh, 1957), 567.
[6] Thomas Aquinas, S. c. gent. I c. 69.
[7] Eckhart, Expositio libri Exodi n. 86 (LW II 89,4-6): 'Ultimo breviter et plane, cum dicitur: dominus regnavit in aeternum et ultra, vult dicere quod ultra quam possit numerari aut cogitari semper in infinitum stabit regnum eius' (trans. by B. McGinn in Meister Eckhart: Teacher and Preacher, 1986, 73).
[8] Eckhart, Expositio libri Exodi n. 86 (LW II 89,4-6): 'Et sicut est de scientia dei, sic pari ratione est de regno ipsius et regimine, Mich. 4: ambulabimus in nomine domini dei nostri in aeternum et ultra' (trans. by B. McGinn in Meister Eckhart: Teacher and Preacher, 1986, 73).

Kansas State University's Innovation and Inspiration Campaign surpassed the $1.3 billion mark in December.
"The Innovation and Inspiration Campaign's continued success is rooted in the generosity of the K-State family and its belief in the future of Kansas State University," K-State President Richard Myers said. "We are thankful to the many alumni and friends who have invested in K-State faculty, students and programs. Your support is key to the university's success, now and in the future."
Funds raised through the campaign will be used to support students, faculty, facility enhancements and programs and will advance the university toward becoming a top 50 public research university by 2025. Three signature drivers have helped to build momentum during the campaign's extension period, which will continue through June 30, 2020:
- The land-grant mission of providing an accessible and affordable education to the people of Kansas and beyond.
- Centers of excellence and interdisciplinary programs — areas where Kansas State University has a competitive advantage and the potential to change the world.
- Substantially increasing the endowment for the future of Kansas State University through estate-planning gifts.
"It is truly remarkable how the K-State family continues to step up to ensure the strength of this great university," said KSU Foundation President and CEO Greg Willems. "The generosity of K-State donors is redefining our future, and it will be exciting to see this campaign through to its conclusion in 2020."

Driving is always a part of your daily routine. While driving to school, work or even holidays, you will end up spending most of your time on roads. Do remember, there are instances where things do change in split seconds. A brake fail, tire blow out, a car ahead of you deviates from it's path causing a jerk to you and your passengers and many more. You need to always be prepared to face such emergencies.
Blown Out Tires
This is a frequently occurring instance. Instead of sudden brakes in a situation where the vehicle is in speed, do the following:
- Keep the gas pedal squeezed for few seconds and release it slowly.
- Drive straight, do not take immediate turns until the vehicle slows down. When in speed, you tend to lose control over the vehicle when trying to take a turn.
- Gently take your car towards the hard shoulder, preferably on same side of blown out tire.
- When the car slows down, if necessary apply brakes lightly.
Failure of Brakes
When car brake fails, do not panic. Instead follow the below steps:
- Quickly pump the brakes trying to build up a residual pressure.
- Pull to lower gear. Due to friction and wind pressure, the car will slow down.
- Using hand brake would bring you vehicle to safe mode.
- Find some bushes, fence or even guard rails on road to rub your car against them to bring your vehicle to a halt.
Sudden Stop
Few situations where a bicyclist interrupts your way, a vehicle ahead of you meets with an accident or applies sudden brake, a pedestrian passes by, causing a sudden brake to your vehicle. You should know how to stop your vehicle quickly, yet safely. If you have anti lock brakes installed, then you can slam on it and hold to it until the car completely stops. Anti lock brakes helps in controlling the steering. If, you do not have the safety device installed then, gently squeeze brakes to ensure the wheels do not skid. Until the vehicle comes to halt, do not try to turn the wheel as brakes locked will block the steering and an attempt can make you to lose control over your vehicle.

| 18.2°C Dublin
Brad Pitt has dropped out of the thriller The Gray Man, according to reports.
The Hollywood star was said to be in talks for the lead role of a CIA-agent turned assassin in James Gray's thriller, based on Mark Greaney's novel.
The Wrap reporter Jeff Sneider tweeted: "Brad Pitt no longer attached to star in The Gray Man for New Regency. Director James Gray seeking new leading man..."
Meanwhile, Bradley Cooper has quit the movie Jane Got A Gun.
The Western, which stars Natalie Portman, has lost one director, Lynne Ramsey, while Michael Fassbender and Jude Law also dropped out in recent months.
According to Deadline, Bradley confirmed his exit in a statement, saying: "Regretfully, due to date conflicts between the film I an currently shooting for David O Russell (American Hustle) and Jane Got A Gun, I am unable to join Natalie, Joel (Edgerton), Noah (Emmerich) and Gavin (O'Connor) on this truly exciting project. I was really looking forward to being a part of it and hope to work with each and every one in the future."
