Onshore power connection for vessels
Today the majority of the regular ferry services to and from Ports of Stockholm already connect to onshore power. Ports of Stockholm is working together with energy providers, other ports, and customers to investigate further infrastructure developments.
Ferry services are connected to onshore power
The Viking Line vessels Gabriella and Mariella, operating on the Helsinki route, have connected to onshore power since the 1980s. During 2019, four Tallink Silja vessels, Silja Symphony, Silja Serenade, Baltic Queen and Victoria, operating on the Helsinki and Tallinn routes, respectively, have also connected to onshore power. Two more vessels, the Romantika and the Isabelle, operating on the Riga route, will also become connected to onshore power in 2020. At the port of Nynäshamn the Polferries Gdansk-route vessel, Wawel, is connected to onshore power. The archipelago and charter boat services all connect to electricity at the quayside in Stockholm.
The services already connected to onshore power are also those where onshore power connection has the greatest impact, as those vessels constitute by far the most frequent traffic. The same vessels operate on routes to and from the same ports. A small number of obvious partners are involved and can jointly agree on one solution and funding.
International cruise ships
For the international cruise ships that call during the summer season there is currently no possibility to connect to onshore power at Ports of Stockholm's ports. Some of the quays are however better prepared than others to enable this, for example those at the new Värtahamnen port.
Ports of Stockholm is developing an action plan ro be able to offer the cruise liners onshore power connection at the quayside. This is a long-term effort, as it requires collaboration and dialogue with the shipping companies and with the other Baltic Sea ports. It also requires a high power output supply and major investment.
Connecting a cruise liner to onshore power is much more complex than connecting the regular ferry services, as the cruise liners visit many ports throughout the world and perhaps visit any individual port on only one occasion. Although there is now a common standard, connection is still a matter of more or less complex and costly local adaptations. The power supply requirements are also much greater than those of the ferries. The power usage of a huge cruise liner can be as much as the electricity requirements of an entire city district.
Until now it has also been difficult to determine a global principle for onshore power connection, but the responsible international organisations, together with the world's ports, have recently agreed on a common standard for high voltage onshore power connection.
Ports of Stockholm's strategy and environmental discounts
Whenever ports or quays are constructed or refurbished, the strategy of Ports of Stockholm is to install facilities to enable vessels to connect to onshore power at these quay-berths. For example, all of the quay-berths at the Värtahamnen port are enabled for onshore power connection. At the Stockholm Norvik Port, which will open in 2020, all quay-berths have onshore power connection capabilities.
For many years Ports of Stockholm has offered environmental discounts to encourage customers to implement environmentally beneficial measures. These incentives focus on reduced emission of air pollutants and reward vessels that have better environmental performance. For example, a grant of SEK 1 million is offered to shipping companies choosing to invest in vessel-conversion for onshore power connection.
Ports of Stockholm's jurisdiction
Ports of Stockholm is classed as a public port. This means that the port authorities must in principle allow any vessel that wants to use the port to do so. In other words, Ports of Stockholm cannot insist that vessels connect to onshore power.

In the beginning of his speech, Martin Luther King references Abraham Lincoln and the emancipation proclamation. Lincoln was the president of the United States during the Civil War and he lead a great civil rights movement during that time. By referencing this speech, King is using one of the greatest presidents in the history of the United States and one of the most important addresses to our nation to give weight to his speech and in a way, give him credibility with the audience and America. This example works very well in my opinion. It set the tone early for how the rest of his speech would go. Shortly after, King quotes the Declaration of Independence's "Life. liberty, and the pursuit of happiness". He is also using this to help with the foundation of his speech. This, too, works very well. It is a document written and signed by our forefathers guaranteeing these rights to everybody, regardless of race or gender. After referencing these two things he then says that "America has defaulted on this promise", basically saying that what these great men fought for isn't happening.
Martin Luther King uses a Logos example when he uses an analogy saying "America has given the Negro people a bad check, a check which come back marked insufficient funds." I think that this is a pretty simple analogy that helps the audience and the American people understand what Martin Luther King is trying to say when explaining discrimination and the need for civil rights. Another example is when King says that African Americans "must not lead us to distrust all white people for many of our white brothers…have come to realize that their destiny is tied up with our destiny". This is effective as King acknowledges frustration but wants everyone to know that people stand with him on this issue.
Martin Luther King's speech has pathos examples everywhere. One of the many things he does exceptionally well is to get the audience and America to feel something. I feel that two of the bigger things he gets the audience to feel is inspiration and hope. An example is when he says "Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God's children." When he says God's children, to me it makes the audience all the same, that everyone is on equal ground. He says the phrase "I have a dream" several times during the speech and does this to get the audience to feel inspired. One time he says the "American dream" to appeal to every American. Another time he says that "my children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin". As the classic saying goes "children are the future", King is tapping into that emotional connection to every parent and future parent out there.
Martin Luther King's speech uses Ethos, Pathos, and Logos several times throughout. It is no wonder that this is one of the greatest speeches ever written and shared with the world. Using each of these rhetorical tools enhanced his speech that inspired and gave hope to millions around the country and the entire world.

And what about the question mark?
Posts by agajol
The fly agaric doesn't have breeding option active. Is it a glitch or what?
I don't think anyone got it. It must have been some sort of glitch. I couldn't get any jack from breeding either (and bred at least 30 seeds)
I think it hasn't been toggled yet. I hope the jack's new variation is not breed-only
Has anyone got a halloween Jack-o-lantern from breeding? I get only pumpkins......
Yes, but my friend got it at least twice
So, did they get last year packages?
OK, that's nice Midsummer is here, but it's totally not fair that I haven't received the package from the post pixie, while all my friends have....
Could I ask a favor of the admins? With as many variants as we now have for each of the holiday plants, could we please have a longer drop time for those seeds? It is absolutely impossible now to be able to get the new variants with each holiday. I am not seeing any further witch mushroom seeds in the garden (and I've refreshed I-don't-know-how-many times). During the drop period I only managed to get four, all of which are now seedlings.
That's it: Four.
The chances of one of them being the new seed is pretty infinitesimal. I'm extremely disappointed, and a bit frustrated. While I understand the idea that they're special and all that, it is simply that now there are SO MANY variants that this is becoming impossible.
Despite all of my bunny breeding, I only managed to get a single one of the new bunnies, which I wouldn't have gotten if I hadn't bred them as long as I could, which of course cut into being able to get the witch mushroom seeds.
The short (under two weeks) drop time, as well as the overlap of holidays, of course makes the problem worse. That's why I request an extension of holiday drop times, so people actually have a chance of getting them.
I agree with you. The game started to be frustrating around Christmas time. I got my first cracker lucky clover in April. And did not succeed in getting any new Christmas stars.
Also, why aren't we getting ingame news any more?
I didn't have time at work to start a new thread ;))
It wasn't cookies, but after coming back home I found out it started working by itself
Ok. It's nice we have the Valentine event, but...… I have problems with logging to my account on Firefox. Both on Win 8 and Win 10. It works on Edge or Opera, but I hate those browsers. It seems like the old problem with logging has occurred - maybe due to the server change, but, please, check it as soon as possible.
What about the new lucky flower? It seems nobody has got one
I'm missing lot of the flowers this year
I have question marks by Marvel Fern (7 variants), Fireworks (have two different nes), Bunnies (7 variants), Potatoes (4 variants) and Lucky Clovers (5 variants)
I got it in my Compendium, so I must have had it at one time. I wonder where it is now? Blueheart, perhaps you could get whoever has it to send it to you, if you want.
So, the blue nightcap poppy is a breed only flower?

Jason Pierce Fucked Up Inside: From Spacemen 3 To Spiritualized
Published Jun 21, 2008Jason Pierce is as much a survivor as he is a visionary. From his time in the influential yet self-destructive Spacemen 3 with his one-time friend and toxic twin Pete "Sonic Boom Kember, to the last 18 years as the driving force and only permanent member of the gospel-leaning space rock force that is Spiritualized, the man they call Spaceman whose lyrics time and again consist of love, death, redemption, drugs, rocknroll, and of course, spirituality has experienced everything he sings about first hand. And that includes death. Twice. After being stricken with near-fatal double pneumonia in 2005, which was so severe his girlfriend received grief counselling, Pierce made what can only be described as a miraculous comeback. While it was enough trauma to force any artist into retirement, Jason used his brush with death as inspiration for the sixth Spiritualized album, the self-explanatory Songs in A & E. His best work in 11 years, the album is not only the document of his survival but also the digest of all his musical styles to date, encapsulated with the interstellar flourishes J Spaceman has built his songbook around. Ladies and gentlemen, lets float into space
1965 to 1981
Jason Pierce is born on November 19, 1965 in Rugby, Warwickshire, England, the same day and place as future band-mate Peter Kember. Jason grows up with an absentee father and is raised with two brothers by his mother. He shows little interest in both school and his hometowns popular sport, and at the age of seven picks up an acoustic guitar instead, though never takes lessons. "When I was 14, I bought the Stooges Raw Power and I listened to nothing but that for a year, he tells Magnet in 1997. Pierce meets Kember at Rugby Art College and the two hit it off, trading Stooges and Cramps records. Jason forms a "Bauhaus-like band called Indian Scalp with Kember as manager, but it doesnt last and the pair begin collaborating together.
1982 to 1985
With Pete Bain on bass and Tim Morris on drums, Pierce and Kember begin announcing, "Were spacemen! to anyone listening, thus christening themselves. However, to avoid confusion with the 50s R&B group, they add the number three after a poster that reads "Are your dreams at night 3 sizes too big? Their first gig is around Christmas 1982 at a house party. Sounding like the Cramps, they play a bunch of Stooges covers before the police arrive and break it up. The band split when Jason leaves town to attend an art college in Maidstone. Bain and Morris start a band called the Push. When Pierce comes back to Rugby in 1984, he reconnects with Kember, and with new drummer Nicholas "Natty Brooker, they reform Spacemen 3. Kember begins dabbling with heroin, "trying out any drugs, hell tell Sounds in 1991. The next year they begin recording demos, and find their sound: one-chord blues played through heaving feedback, producing a hypnotic drone. Bain rejoins the band.
The band curiously choose the boss of All Bright, a local industrial cleaning business, as their manager; legend has it that at one point Pierce and Kember sell their future songwriting royalties to All Bright for cash to buy heroin, though it is never confirmed. The band record new demos in January at a studio in Northampton (eventually released under the amusing title Taking Drugs To Make Music To Take Drugs To), and give a copy to Pat Fish of the Jazz Butcher. Soon it lands in the hands of Glass Records David Barker, who offers them a two-album contract. They practice non-stop and retreat to a Birmingham studio to record their debut album, Sound of Confusion, in five days for less than £800. Pierce later tells Melody Maker: "We were all playing in the room, until something came through the roof, the sound we were hearing was like from some other planet or something. And thats what Spacemen 3 was. We just found ourselves making this unearthly kind of sound that elevated us. The albums reverence for their heroes produces a mix of covers (Glen Campbell, the Stooges, 13th Floor Elevators) and originals; despite failing to make much of an impact, it holds up as a solid first effort and a proud homage that establishes them as a mesmerising, fuzz-drenched garage band. The constant references to the Lord and narcotics begin with "Hey Man, which uses "Amen as its chorus, and "O.D. Catastrophe, a blatant copy of the Stooges "TV Eye that depicts the downfall of a junkie. Unhappy with some of the mixes, just a few months later they enter the studio again to record the Walkin With Jesus EP, cutting a ridiculous but better 17-minute take on album cut "Rollercoaster, a 13th Floor Elevators cover. A limited number of copies come with a lyrics sheet and a mini essay explaining the bands philosophy (sample: "Spacemen 3 were born of boredom. Their music uses boredom to overcome itself.), while in the credits Kember changes his name from "Peter Gunn to "Sonic Boom, the name he will continue to use beyond the next two decades. Pierce assumes the nickname of Spaceman. In an interview he says, "I dont think Ive ever used Jason Pierce. I think people just write that in magazines. My closest friends call me Spaceman. Well, some of them. On stage the band earn a reputation for unorthodox gigs, or the "anti-show, by sitting on stools with their backs to the audience and playing at ear-rupturing volumes while strobe lights flash incessantly.
Stewart "Rosco Roswell replaces Brooker. The band begin recording the first of many sessions at VHF Studios in Rugby; they contribute £3000 to upgrade from eight-track to a 16-track, receiving free studio time in return. They put it to good use, basically moving into the studio to spend time honing songs, recording many different versions, while smoking copious amounts of dope. S3 knock out an EP, Transparent Radiation, which contains two versions of the titular Red Krayola cover, and standout "Ecstasy Symphony, where they begin experimenting with electronics and building single-note symphonies through phasing and multi-tracking. The song also becomes Pierces blueprint to construct the Spiritualized sound. S3 follow this up immediately with their masterwork, The Perfect Prescription. The second album works as a concept chronicling the drug-taking experience of highs, plateaus and crashing; the lyrical content touches on the euphoria in "Feel So Good, the delusion of "Come Down Easy and frightening brush with death in "Call the Doctor. Pierce later tells Magnet it was the "the first time I wasnt writing songs that were based on anybody elses songs. So Walkin With Jesus was purely about what I was doing I was kind of shocked to see the lyric written down, and, Hey, thats exactly what I was feeling! Yeah, I really want to do this, to write songs. But its the radical shift from Sound of Confusions weighty guitar noise to The Perfect Prescriptions optimistic, blissful melodies and sublime, varied arrangements, emphasised best in the soft reworking of "Walkin With Jesus, that demonstrate the bands growth into an exceptional sonic force. Sonic Boom would lay out the bands M.O. to Melody Maker, saying: " its very minimal, very simple, very primal we actually went out of our way to show that four people who couldnt play instruments could make a sound which could be really uplifting, could turn you on, and that anyone can do that.
1988 to 1989
The band begin touring Europe, gaining more and more attention, but a gig in Amsterdam at the Melkweg club shows cracks are beginning to form in the band. Rosco leaves the band afterwards, followed by Bain. With more attention directed towards them, Pierce and Kember look to end their contract with Glass and shop for a new label. They offer up Performance, a live recording of the Melkweg gig to fulfil their deal. Will Caruthers is brought in to play bass, with Steve Evans also recruited temporarily as a third guitarist; they test out the new line-up with a unique performance consisting of a single guitar drone held for 90 minutes the audience is not enthused. S3 release a couple of singles on various labels, and then settle with the Fire label, though a courtship by Creation is rumoured. Their first release on the new label is the single "Revolution, a dynamic blast of mighty riffing that becomes an unlikely, modest chart success. With the media getting more and more interested, Kember begins discussing the bands drug use, which quickly overshadows the music in their press. They head to Cornwall to begin recording their third album, Playing With Fire, which arrives in early 1989. With the press now on their side, the band seem destined to break through, but a divide between Pierce and Kember becomes clear in the songwriting credits, which for the first time show the duo acknowledging their own songs. Playing also captures this on tape, clarifying the difference between the two: Pierces songs focus more on the spiritual and gospel, while Kembers use transparent repetition for entrancement. Drummer Jon Mattock and guitarist Mark Refoy are recruited as permanent members and the band are scheduled to embark on a full North American tour, after signing a deal with Bomp! to distribute the new album; Bomp! owner Greg Shaw takes out a $10,000 loan from his mother to pay for it. On the eve of the tour, S3 pull out after reported spats between Pierce and Kember, who will later tell Magnet: "We had some drug convictions on our records. And then we had to supply our albums and press and stuff to prove our case worthy. It was very hard to find enough press that didnt have drug references. They play their last-ever show in August at the Reading Festival. Sonic Boom releases his first solo single, "Angel on Silvertone Records in December.
1990 to 1991
The bands decade begins with the release of Dreamweapon: An Evening of Contemporary Sitar Music, a challenging but rewarding live album centred around the 44-minute title track, an experiment based on repetitive, pulsating drones. Rumour has it Kember leaks the album to Fierce, which releases it as an official bootleg (a pissed off Pierce leaks a live album himself called Revolution or Heroin to Fierce five years later). Also released are their 1986 demos, aptly named Taking Music To Make Music To Take Drugs To, which becomes a fan favourite. Pierce and Kember continue working separately on both S3 and their own solo material, while hardly speaking to each other. Kember releases his debut solo album Spectrum, (which ironically features Pierce) in February, while Jason forms the much more laidback Spiritualized (named after the description of a Pernod "Spiritueux Anise) with Refoy, Mattock, Caruthers and Steve Evans much to Kembers surprise. The goal is to begin playing live again, and in June they release their first single, a cover of the Troggs "Anyway That You Want Me through new label Dedicated, which oddly packages the release with a Spacemen 3 sticker. Pierce later explains the birth of Spiritualized to Vox saying, "Half the reason why Spiritualized started was because Spacemen 3 was becoming a very safe live act safe for myself, anyway. We were just playing the heavy, hardcore stuff like Revolution there was no highest of highs, lowest of lows. I was fighting to get some quiet stuff into the set. Kember sees this as an act of betrayal and confirmation of the S3s end, despite the fact that they have an unreleased final album sitting around. Kember tells The Catalogue: "Originally, we all knew we were going to split up after the album was recorded, pursue different projects and then reconvene in a years time Then [Spiritualized] recorded Anyway That You Want Me, which Id suggested Spacemen 3 should cover. There didnt seem to me any great need for them to show they could do it I basically said, OK, if you have all these ideas, then fuck off and do it. Pierce later responds in Magnet, saying, "Spacemen hadn't been on tour for a year and didn't look likely to, so Spiritualized needed some product to be able to go out on tour. What the press picked up on was that I left Spacemen 3 and took the band with me. What actually happened was those guys [Carruthers, Mattock and Refoy] left individually over a period of about seven months. But it seemed crazy to let them go because they were obviously attuned to what we were doing and creating those kinds of sounds, so I kind of followed them. Final studio LP Recurring is released in early 1991, more as a sign of what is to come then as a proper S3 album. Unofficially divided into two solo parts, the first half belongs to Sonic Booms quest for the perfect trance, while Pierce develops his fondness for meditative spaced-out blues he takes over the record at "Feel So Sad, which Spiritualized boldly re-release as their second single a few months later. Despite the clear divide that found them each only working on their own songs, the album arguably stands with The Perfect Prescription as the best work of both Kember and Pierce. Recurring contains a cover of Mudhoneys "When Tomorrow Hits, which is originally intended as a split single with the Seattle band, who covered "Revolution. Kember cancels the release when he learns Mudhoney have substituted cheeky lyrics about methadone suppositories (the song ends up as a b-side to their "This Gift single). An unofficial and unnecessary comp titled Losing Touch With Your Mind is released containing mixes and demos. Kate Radley, Pierces girlfriend, replaces Evans on keyboards, and Spiritualized release two more EPs, Run/I Want You and Smile/Sway before the end of 1991.
1992 to 1994
Carruthers leaves the band after a money dispute and is replaced by Sean Cook. Recorded at VHF, Spiritualizeds debut album, Lazer Guided Melodies, is released in March; though it contains 12 tracks, the CD version is arranged to show its importance as a whole and divided into four blocks "the kind of blocks youd get if you bought it on vinyl, Pierce tells Drop-D. The album fulfils Pierces vision begun on Recurring; slow, tranquil melodies, tucked into a bed of warm symphonic sounds generated by pedal notes and tremolo, modulating synths, delayed guitars and the tender murmurs of Pierce and Radley, culminating in the majestic gospel number "Shine A Light, which is arguably the finest Spiritualized song. The band embark on their first North American tour opening up Rollercoaster, which is headlined by the Jesus & Mary Chain and also features Curve. The response is strong, though its based more on efforts of the audience than the band. "The band is not about success commercially, he later tells Magnet. "The goal is to be the best we can, and to keep going forward. A lot of bands have this weird cabaret mentality of playing the hits at the same time each night. We just do it naturally... That's the only way you can make good music, to be very selfish about it and satisfy yourself. They release the Medication EP only months after their album; the title track will feature on their next album, which wont drop until another three years. Pierce begins to trickle out more from his forthcoming album, Pure Phase, with the Electric Mainline EP, "Good Dope, Good Fun, an early version of "Lay Back in the Sun released as a split with Mercury Rev for Greenpeace and the mail order live album Fucked Up Inside, which was recorded in the Hollywood Palladium. The difficulty maintaining a sturdy line-up begins when Mark Refoy leaves to focus on Slipstream, and takes with him drummer Jon Mattock. Kevin Cowen of fellow Rugby band the Darkside (a band formed by ex-S3 bassist Pete Bain) replaces Refoy on guitar, but after a brief stint is replaced by John Coxon of experimental drum & bass outfit Spring Heel Jack.
1995 to 1996
The Let It Flow EP precedes the second album, Pure Phase, which is credited to "Spiritualized Electric Mainline in a bid to try and demonstrate the sounds they were making (he also admits that the first and third albums were credited to "Spiritualized Lazer Guided Melodies and "Spiritualized Rocket Shaped Songs, respectively). Recorded at Moles Studio in Bath, the album builds on Pierces grandiose vision (the album is recorded using two distinct mixes in each stereo channel), throwing ambient swells in amongst excited jams, tranquil fade-outs, harmonious repetition and dazzling strings courtesy of the Balanescu Quartet. The biggest distinction, however, comes in the wave of tremolo that crescendos throughout the albums entirety, and bassist Sean Cooks introduction of the harmonica, which will become a staple of the Spiritualized sound from this point forward. The album, which gets a limited release in a glow-in-the-dark hard case, isnt received well by the press (Q awards it three stars and NME gives it five out of ten, but then lists it as number 23 in its "Top 50 Albums of the Year), though its clearly a remarkable statement that continues to be the bands most underappreciated work. Speaking with Resonance magazine, Pierce says: "We said what we wanted and recorded the songs exactly the way we wanted. I don't think of our albums as a collection of good takes like how Medication sounded a year ago. We want people to lose themselves in the music, and hear things they didn't hear on first listen. Sixteen versions of the title track are released as a limited edition promo titled Pure Phase Tones For DJs, each track playable at both 33 and 45 rpm and recorded in the keys of C/F; D/G; E/A; F/Bflat; G/C; A/D; B/E; C/F at varying frequencies; the tracks are to be used simultaneously together to make chords. A number of posthumous Spacemen 3 compilations are emptied from the vaults on various labels: Translucent Flashback The Singles (Fire), For All the Fucked-Up Children of the World We Give You Spacemen 3 (Sympathy For the Record Industry), Spacemen Are Go! (Bomp!) and Revolution or Heroin (Fierce). About the barrage of S3 releases, Pierce tells Magnet: "I can go back and look at stuff I was doing then, and I guess I don't mind its out there. But it seems weird to get involved with something that is six or seven years old now. And I think Petes quite content to do it how hes been doing it all along. He puts them out and he takes the money. But I havent seen a cent from any of it. Spiritualized support the Verve at the Phoenix Festival on July 15, 1995 four days after Radley secretly marries the Verves Richard Ashcroft. The couple dont publicly announce their marriage until two years later; she remains in Spiritualized. "Then I realised Jason was racked with problems, Sean Cook later tells Rocks Backpages. "I don't know what came first, his relationship with Kate going down the pan or slipping into a mild drug abuse phase. He continues that Pierce began a period of smoking heroin. Spiritualized begin recording their third album, and recruit drummer Damon Reece and guitarist Mike Mooney as full-time members, and invite Dr. John, the London Community Gospel Choir and, once again, the Balanescu Quartet to take part.
Named after a passage from Jostein Gaardners philosophical novel, Sophies World, Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space is released in March. Though not as immediate as its predecessors, the album is by far Pierces eminent achievement; gone are pretty much all traces of Spacemen 3s hypnotic drone, and in its place is a mélange of various styles gospel, blues, free jazz, garage rock, psychedelia, ambient and orchestral pop with a deeper sense of introspection through themes of religion, love and drugs. For the first time since S3, Pierces lyrics are put under the microscope, with the press jumping to conclusions about the drug references ("There's a hole in my arm where all the money goes) and songs like "Broken Heart, which suggest its a break-up album about Radley. During promotion, Pierce gives a statement about his relationship with his former girlfriend and keyboardist saying, "I love her dearly and she loves me dearly. Simple fact. Confronting the constant reports that Ladies and Gentlemen is autobiographical, Pierce tells Mojo: "I don't think anyone genuinely listens to lyrics in that way, but it's a way that comes with the marketing of records. With the Righteous Brothers You've Lost That Lovin Feeling or Ray Charles I Can't Stop Loving You, you don't listen to them and think, This is about a moment in the author's life that he's set to music. You relate it to your life it doesnt have anything to do with the author anymore. But often today the music isn't strong enough, so they have to market a story instead. And I'm involved in it, obviously: if I hadn't been doing interviews I wouldn't even have come to that conclusion. Again, Pierce takes pride in designing special packaging, collaborating with designer Mark Farrow. They hire a pharmaceutical company to manufacture a three-inch disc encased in a foil blister pack mimicking an enormous pill; the sleeve notes read like the accompanying patient-info slip for a medication named Spiritualized® with choice instructions like "play twice daily and "may cause dizziness. "Ours were never meant as special editions, he explains. "They were meant as this is the edition. There were 70,000 of those pill boxes, because thats all I could afford. But at least I could afford them. They were meant as, musics really fucking important and shouldnt be sold as this unit of sale that is as cheap as you can make it to get the most profit from it. And they felt like, if you put your music in a box like that it would have a true value, and it would retain that value. The album is an immediate hit with critics and fans, reaching at number four in the UK charts; at the end of the year it beats out popular favourites Radioheads OK Computer and the Verves Urban Hymns for NMEs Album of the Year honour. The band travel 113 stories up the CN Tower to play what is recorded as the "highest show ever, leaving the door open for entendres. He tells Rolling Stone: "The CN Tower was probably the best show we've ever done The building was moving 12 feet in either direction. We were literally floating in space I'd been trying to get it for nearly two years. I guess now, the one benefit of having more people know about our record is that more people in the record company start listening to our ideas. Most of our ideas over the last seven years have fallen on deaf ears. They also play a triumphant gig with the London Community Gospel Choir at the Royal Albert Hall in London, which is later released as a double live album. John Coxon leaves the band and is replaced on guitar by Gregg Hale; Ray "Moonshake Dickaty joins on saxophone, and Julian Cope collaborator thighpaulsandra (aka Tim Lewis) replaces Radley on keyboards. The band tour with Neil Young, with whom they share a manager (Elliott Roberts), and after a show in San Francisco, Pierce and his band-mates spend the night at Youngs ranch. "When we were touring with them, Like a Hurricane became a more screaming, psychedelic thing, and I think that affected the way we were playing, he tells Mojo.
1998 to 2000
Volkswagen uses Ladies and Gentlemens title track in an ad campaign for the new Beetle. A string of singles are released, including the Abbey Road EP, and "I Think Im In Love, a call and response gospel number that is remixed by the Chemical Brothers. Spiritualized is chosen as the opening act for Radioheads North American tour. A Tribute to Spacemen 3 is released on indie label Rocket Girl, featuring the likes of Mogwai, Low, Arab Strap and Bardo Pond putting their spin on a selection of S3 tracks. One year after the concert, the band release a double live album, Royal Albert Hall October 10, 1997, the result of a magical night that features a rendition of gospel standard "Oh Happy Day as the closer, and marked the final recording with Sean Cook, Damon Reece and Mike Mooney. "I refer to the agreement between us dated May 10, 1999. Pursuant to which you provided your service to me as a member of Spiritualized. Pursuant to sub clause 1D of the agreement, kindly treat this letter as constituting my one month's notice to you to terminate the term of the agreement. The simple reason is a payment dispute, but Pierce is accused of "slave labour. Years later Cook explains to e-zine Terapija.net: "The basic story is that the singer was behaving like a total cock, we called it like we saw it, he didn't like that, so he sacked us. This kind of thing happens quite a lot in bands. Certain members, usually singers, disappear up their own asshole and get a bit carried away in terms of their perception of their own importance. When this happens the other members of the group either put up with it (in which case the group trundles on for a while and then fades) or they don't, which leads to the whole thing rapidly going tits often in quite a dramatic fashion. Spiritualized is an example of the latter. Pierce explains his side to the Guardian saying, "It was almost like they wanted to find cobwebs, they wanted to find some way that it wasn't working. It became ludicrous. The trio immediately unite to form a brooding psych rock band called Lupine Howl. With thighpaulsandra and Dickaty still in the line-up, Pierce invites Coxon back into the band as well as classical percussionist Tom Edwards and Julian Cope collaborator Doggen, all of whom remain in the band to this day. Kev Bales and Martin Schelland are also brought on for the next album. Pierces girlfriend, filmmaker Juliette Larthe, gives birth to a daughter, which they name Poppy. The band release a one-off DVD single titled Electricity/Come Together, with videos and behind the scenes footage.
2001 to 2002
Fourth album Let it Come Down is released in September marking a significant shift. Pierces previous array of frenzied styles on Ladies and Gentlemen gives way to lush orchestrations (featuring over 120 musicians), heaving, Brian Wilson-inspired melodies, significant gospel influences and wall of sound production, recalling the signature of Phil Spector. He explains to Exclaim!: "The idea was to write an album where the orchestration and the choir parts were integral to the album, not as a kind of addition. The choir sounds like theyre there to add this illusion of grandeur to something that isnt particularly grand. I wanted to start from the other perspective where the orchestrations would dictate the way the songs went. As grand and uplifting as the album sounds, Pierces lyrical themes read like a man whos gone to hell and back, as he narrates tales of addiction, the hard road to recovery and escaping rock bottom. Titles such as "The 12 Steps, "Wont Get To Heaven (The State Im In) and "The Straight and the Narrow suggest drugs were part of the equation, but again, he rejects the idea, explaining to the Guardian: "Its basically a statement of satisfaction. There's no frustration in this album, theres no moaning or wallowing. Its a satisfaction with how life is that's why it's called Let It Come Down. People think Im not, but I'm really happy to be here. The most extraordinary facet of the album, however, is how he pieces the arrangements together despite the fact that hes musically illiterate. He tells Exclaim!: "I dont write music, so the important thing for me was to put this record in an area of music where I really didnt know how to operate. I sang all the melody lines to a Dictaphone and then transposed those to a piano so that somebody else could write the music. Pierce ends the album with a gospel take on S3s "Lord Can You Hear Me, which was inspired by the cover version recorded by Low, whose Mimi Parker contributes backing vocals to the album. Continuing his trend of fancy packaging, Pierce and Farrow hire sculptor Don Brown to design the case; he uses his girlfriend Yoko as his muse to produce an embossed soft plastic package. "Id been reading some psychology about the workings of the brain and I got interested in the idea that when you see an image of a face that is concave your brain is so used to seeing eyes and noses that stick out that it finds it impossible to read, Pierce tells Creative Review. Pierce contributes guitar to Spring Heel Jacks eighth album, Amassed, and joins them on tour. Larthe gives birth to a boy they name Hank.
2003 to 2004
Pierce indulges fans and compiles all of Spiritualizeds non-album material to date for Complete Works Vol. 1, which contains everything from debut single "Anyway That You Want Me on. For the fifth Spiritualized album, Amazing Grace, Pierce shakes things up again, stripping away the layered production hed built a reputation on, channelling his current loves garage, free jazz and gospel and forcing his band to improvise. He tells Thrasher: "This record is more informed by free jazz, by spontaneous music. Generally in that music you listen to other sounds in the room and then you respond to them. I kind of wanted to try and apply that to the recording of this record. Because thats something we've always done live: thats not new to us. Our live shows have always been about taking it in all directions. The only way I could think of doing that in the studio was giving the songs to the band on the day we were recording them. So what youre hearing on this record is a drummer playing to a bass line that hes never heard before in his life and responding to guitars and lyrics theyve never heard. You get this kind of immediacy, this kind of spontaneous moment that is actually quite rare in rocknroll music. Despite its avoidance of the melodies that carried Let It Come Down, the record is a successful experiment that allows Pierce to try a less methodical approach and fully embrace the garage rock that first inspired him to start a band. That said, its arguably the least popular album in the bands canon. Album track "The Ballad of Richie Lee finds Pierce paying tribute to his late friend Richie Lee, singer/bassist for Spiritualized tour-mates Acetone, who commits suicide in 2001. Dickaty and Shellard depart after the albums completion. Jason appears on Spring Heel Jacks Live album credited as "J Spaceman. Another Spacemen 3 bootleg, and the final one for some time, Forged Prescriptions, is released through Space Age Recordings, featuring alternate and demo versions of The Perfect Prescription. Regarding the glut of S3 "reissues, Pierce tells Exclaim!: "I didnt lose control, more like what I was saying wasnt being listened to. When they were reissued with different sleeves, I was like, they are what they are, like little time capsules that travel through time that have this sound within them. And thats whats special about the music. And nobody was interested in preserving that, they were only interested in how much more money they can make out of it, so I kind of left them to it. I like the records for what they were, with the sleeves for all the kind of oddness to them. The cover of Perfect Prescription is an odd photograph, and odd the way its put together, and I dont think it needed to be dressed any other way. The industry behind the Spacemen 3 is, Heres Playing with Fire again with seven unreleased tracks, here it is again with the singles attached, here it is with a different mix on the second track. And there was just an awful lot of it, and it wasnt great for the music.
2004 to 2007
Complete Works Vol. 2 is released containing everything up to the end of the Amazing Grace period. In June 2005, Pierce joins Kevin Shields and Patti Smith at the Queen Elizabeth Hall in London for a performance of their collaboration titled The Coral Sea, a tribute to Smiths late friend, artist Robert Mapplethorpe. Two days later, Pierce falls ill and calls band mate John Coxon, describing a breathing difficulty. Coxon rushes Pierce to the hospital and hes hooked up to a drip and ventilator in the intensive care unit at the Royal London Hospital, where hes diagnosed with periorbital cellulitis with bilateral pneumonia, a condition that causes the lungs to fill with fluid, preventing oxygen from reaching the blood stream. On their sons third birthday, Pierces girlfriend is offered grief counselling, and his children are brought in to see him one last time. Coxon tells the Guardian: "It was terrifying, really touch and go. He could just about communicate with us by scrawling words on a piece of paper. At one point I just thought that this was it. I was pretty sure he was going to die. The problem was that the bug wasnt responding to antibiotics it was getting worse and worse. We thought he was a goner. As it turns out, Pierce is a goner, as he is technically considered dead not once but twice in this period. On top of that, his weight plunges to under 100 pounds. When he does recover, Larthe posts a message on the official Spiritualized message board reading: "After nearly dying twice in the last two and half weeks, Jason has made an alarming and brilliant recovery. He is still weak, weighing in at maybe eight stone, but love and happiness are on his side. Primal Scream front-man Bobby Gillespie visits him and assures him of his recovery saying, "I knew youd fuckin make it, your handshake was too strong. Pierce joins Smith and Shields again for another performance of The Coral Sea. He provides his first classical composition as the score for Silent Sound, a performance/art installation portraying an 1865 Victorian séance by artists Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard. The music is hummed over the phone and transcribed over the course of three hours, because he still cant read or write music. Along with Norman Blake (Teenage Fanclub), Vic Chesnutt, James Yorkston and Howe Gelb, Jason performs with Daniel Johnston at a special gig and screening of the documentary, The Devil & Daniel Johnston. Pierce helps his friend actress Samantha Morton recover from a stroke brought on from being hit on the head from her collapsed ceiling. She tells the Observer: "Jason and I have been mirroring each other. He was really sick and then I had a stroke at the beginning of [that] year. He was the only person I knew who understood what that was like, being near to death. While sitting with Morton, Pierce discovers the script to a Harmony Korine film titled Mister Lonely, set to star Morton as a Marilyn Monroe impersonator. Korine, who first meets Pierce at the Daniel Johnston tribute show, asks Pierce to co-write the films score with the Sun City Girls. Says Pierce, "I had no idea how to finish my record. I said, I cant find my way back into this. Harmony came when I really needed some help, and this crazy, beautiful man who has ideas coming in from everywhere said, make me some music. And it was liberating just to be doing that and not having to front it and say, This is my new album, this is the concept, this is what were trying to achieve. I just sat in the studio making sounds. And he didnt even say he wanted this kind of music, he said he just wanted my music. It was somebody coming into my world when I was suffering bad I couldnt make my record and saying, I want your music. Jason launches the Acoustic Mainline Tour with band-mate Doggen on organ, a string quartet and a choir, which features a selection of songs by Spiritualized, Spacemen 3 and a few covers arranged acoustically. "It taught me a lot about those songs, he admits. "Theres nowhere to hide on a stage like that. You cant lose yourself in the noise, you cant get lost in the music, so every bit of that is a performance. From the moment I got on stage to the moment we ended I was singing, there was no rest from it. But I kind of got into these simple songs, that you can tap into it. Ive said this before, but I dont think any of my songs are showcases for talent. None of them are like, Hey look what I can do with my fingers on the guitar! Im hitting the same chords on this songs as I did on the last one, and its the same tempo, and in exactly the same order. But you can find something in this, in the magic, elusive thing thats in music. And it was great for that, and some of it has gone and infected to the electric shows. The electric shows arent like a return to the electrics. Weve been doing that acoustic thing and now were plugged back in, and the possibilities are endless.
Pierce quashes Spacemen 3 reunion possibilities in the Observer, saying: "Why would I do that? I mean, I would have liked to go and watch the battle of Waterloo when it happened but that doesn't mean I'm going to go and sit in a field somewhere and watch people act it out. Credited to J Spaceman and Sun City Girls, the Mister Lonely soundtrack is released by Drag City in April, followed two months later by Spiritualizeds seventh album, Songs in A&E, which Pierce describes as "the work of the Devil with a little guidance from me. Regarding the amusing title, Pierce admits, "Id like to say before I got ill, because it sounds like one of my titles. A&E in England only ever means accident and emergency but it seemed like the pun was too good to pass. And also I thought it aligned to how the whole of my life is lived like that. I have no plans for anything, all of my songs Ive written and everything Ive done with [Spiritualized] seems to be a product of accident and emergency. So, yeah, maybe I should stick with that and say I thought of it before I got ill, but I cant remember. Written before he fell ill, the album is a haunting opus, among his best alongside Ladies and Gentlemen. Spaced out by six interludes each titled "H, the album is his most rounded effort to date, encompassing all of his careers cornerstones. Again, his lyrical focus is on his signature topics, including some frightening foreshadowing on the half-awake gospel cut, "Death Take Your Fiddle, which features the lines: "Think I'll dream myself into a coma/And I'll take every way out I can find/With morphine, codeine, whisky, they won't alter/The way I feel now death is not around. "If there was a starting point to this record it was that the songs were going to be written almost like traditional songs, and the shapes of the songs were going to be quite formal, almost like a standard kind of thing, he explains. "And when I came out [of the hospital], they just sounded like that, like 11 old songs that I couldnt make contemporary to my life. I tried a number of things. At one point I tried mixing them like Pure Phase, like something I knew had worked in the past. So I put a lot of layers into them, but this didnt work. I kind of knew any way that you just cant apply an idea or technique to something and its gonna work. The best thing about music is that its not an exact science. You dont just play 15 notes in order and have people feel elated or emotional, theres just a magic between the notes, and it was like that trying to find that with these songs, trying to put them in a space where they demanded that you listen to them.

George Orwell wrote in 1938: "The only way I could get along was to carry everywhere a small dictionary which I whipped out of my pocket at moments of crisis. But I would sooner be a foreigner in Spain than in most countries. How easy it is to make friends in Spain!"
More than 70 years after the publication of Homage to Catalonia, hundreds of thousands of Orwell's fellow countrymen have followed his lead, eventhough many have now returned due to the crisis. The British are still the largest contingent of foreigners in Spain. But how well does that population speak Spanish?
These are a few views of expat journalists, expat politicians and locals on the subject:
Can you relate to any of these thoughts?
Research has shown, using Spanish in everyday situations and sticking to regular classes can help prevent or delay the onset of Alzheimer's disease, say, doctors.
Learning a foreign language could put back the first signs of dementia by at least five years,
Expatriates in Spain are at a particular advantage since those who regularly use the language they have learnt are even more likely to fight off Alzheimer's than those who have merely studied one and let it lay dormant. Whilst crosswords, sudokus and other 'thinking' puzzles have long been lauded as a tool for fighting off memory loss and confusion in old age, experts believe that those who speak two or more languages have even more chance of retaining their mental faculties.
They say learning a language is a more powerful type of mental exercise, and builds up a bank of 'spare' brainpower which helps the mind to keep working for longer and more effectively, slowing down the debilitating effects of Alzheimer's.
Medics behind the research, which took place at York University in Toronto, Canada, say this is rather like keeping a spare battery for your mobile phone or an emergency tank of petrol in your car.
"It means your brain can keep going for longer because there is more in the safety tank," they say.
The part of the brain that controls memory, decision-making, reasoning and expressing oneself in words is made stronger, more flexible and more resistant to damage by learning and using a foreign language.
Doctors claim the sooner a person starts to learn a language, the more beneficial it is for slowing down the process of dementia and age-related confusion.
Researchers found that the average Alzheimer's sufferer began to see the early symptoms of their condition in their mid-70s, or younger, where they only spoke one language.
But those who spoke two or more languages - or were actively learning one - tended to be in their 80s before they were diagnosed with dementia.
Additionally, the process of the mind breaking down - including loss of short-term memory - took hold much more rapidly in monolingual patients.
However, they warn that learning a language will not actually prevent Alzheimer's - it will simply slow down the associated mental deterioration and stop the condition from manifesting itself for much longer.
6 years ago we ran this poll and the results were not that surprising for some...
I thought it might be interesting to see if the EOS members have improved at all in recent years and if there is now a larger percentage of Spanish speakers amongst us...

It takes 48 to 72 hours for nicotine to leave the body. For anyone who is trying to reduce cravings that's a really bad news . But fortunately, we have the cream of tartar, a byproduct of the winemaking process that completely removes nicotine from your body. One-quarter of the cost of a Nicorette pack a week of treatment with the cream of tartar will cost you .
Read on to find out more info about the cream of tartar and its numerous health benefits!
What Is Cream Of Tartar?
It is a powder that known as potassium hydrogen tartrate. Non-alcoholic sediment that comes from the bottom of a wine barrel. Here is a list of the health benefits of the cream of tartar.
Cream of Tartar Will Help You Quit Smoking
Cream of tartar will help you dislike the taste of cigarettes. The best way for everyone who is trying to quit smoking is to consume cream of tartar is when it's mixed with freshly squeezed orange juice.
This juice is important because it will significantly increase the levels of vitamin C in the body, which take a hit as a result of the chemicals in cigarettes and also provides extra help in the process of nicotine removal.
If you drink a medium glass of orange juice with half a teaspoon of cream of tartar every night for 30 days you will quit smoking, this source claims.
Reduce Arthritis Pain
2 milligrams of magnesium – a mineral that according to Dr. Sircus "modulates cellular events involved in inflammation contains 100 grams of cream of tartar ." Or in other words, the cream of tartar has the ability to reduce arthritic pain.
You should add 2 tablespoons of cream of tartar and 3 tablespoons of Epsom salt to your bathtub, then fill it with warm water, according to NaturalRemediesCenter.com. Soak in the water for 40 minutes, then rinse with clean water. Repeat this once or twice a day.
Relieve Urinary Tract Infection
The cream of tartar helps treat urinary tract infections by altering the pH levels of the urine , according to EverydayRoots.com and removes the bacteria responsible for the infection.
Into a cup of warm water stir in 1 and a half teaspoons of cream of tartar , then add a few drops of lemon juice. 1-2 times daily you should drink this mixture .
Clear Acne
Cream of tartar is a fantastic acne-fighting, cleaning agent for your skin due to its powerful acidic properties , Leaf.tv, Theodora Pennypacker stated. But, instead of applying the cream directly to your face, you will need to drink a mixture made up of 1 teaspoon of cream of tartar and 8 ounces of water or orange juice. Consume this every day and, with time, the mixture will eliminate the bacteria and toxins that have caused acne.
Reduce Blood Pressure
People with low potassium levels in the body are at much higher risk of developing high blood pressure problems. But luckily for all of us, the cream of tartar can solve this problem too.
100 grams of the cream contains a huge 16,500 milligrams of potassium. You should visit your doctor to find out whether potassium deficiency is the cause of your problems , if you suffer from high blood pressure. If so, you should drink every night a mixture of cream of tartar and a glass of water .

Off-season is your opportunity to get better. You would not want to mix things up during the ramp up to your competition. But your competition is over. Now is your opportunity to knock off the rust and improve upon possible weak link(s) that have built up over your season (race or races).
Has your mileage taken a toll on any of your joints? Your ankle, knee, hip, low back, shoulder? Now is a perfect opportunity to strengthen/prehab/rehab whichever area is a weak link. Before it becomes an injury and sidelines your fun.
Do your movements look/feel natural (or) forced? Work with your coach on your technique: stride length, running technique, swimming mechanics, and I'm sure your running/tri coach will have other fine tuning details for you.
Get strong!
For opportunities 1 & 2 working with someone specifically that can address your specific concerns and areas to improve makes the most sense. You want your homework/program to be individualized. Of course for the 3rd opportunity, Strength, a specific program would deliver the best return on investment (your time). But you can still improve from a generalized program.
The stronger you are the faster you will potentially be. But let's clarify - you aren't a bodybuilder.

Global IPv4 Services
MOD Mission Critical has established itself as a global expert in IPv4 and IPv6 procurement. Leveraging established relationships with ARIN, RIPE, APNIC, LATNIC and AFRANIC, MOD has the ability to source IP space in any geographic region across the globe. This is a very technical and complex transaction. MOD ensures their clients get exactly what they need in every situation. Any time a company makes a purchase of IP space there are several options to consider.
Buy or Lease
First, the client will immediately need to understand if they want to lease the IPs monthly or purchase the IPs outright. Either way, MOD will need to know if the client requires clean space or if previously Spamhaus listed space is satisfactory.
Justify with ARIN
Next, the client will need to determine if they can justify the space with ARIN. If they have accomplished this already, then the process is easier. If they have not already justified the IP space with ARIN and plan on doing so, it is a good idea to begin that process as soon as possible. The waiting list with ARIN is over 150 requests long.
Acquisition Options
If the client has not justified the space yet or will not be able to provide justification, MOD can source options for companies who are selling their entire company assets (ASN, URL, IPv4, IPv6) in an acquisition model. This last option allows the client to provide ARIN with the change of ownership documents. Once the transaction is complete, the client can begin the process of moving the IPs over to their ORG ID. This is the fastest way to obtain IP space.

Linux introspection and SystemTap
An interface and language for dynamic kernel analysis
SystemTap is a dynamic method of monitoring and tracing the operation of a running Linux kernel. The key word there is dynamic, because instead of building a special kernel with instrumentation, SystemTap allows you to install that instrumentation dynamically at run time. It does this with an application programming interface (API) called Kprobes, which this article explores. Let's begin with an exploration of some of the earlier kernel tracing approaches, then dig into the SystemTap architecture and its use.
Kernel tracing
SystemTap is similar to an older technology called DTrace, which
originated in the Sun Solaris operating system. Within DTrace, developers
can write scripts in the D programming language (a subset of the
C language but modified to support
trace-specific behaviors). A DTrace script contains a number of probes and
associated actions that occur when the probe "fires." For example, a probe
can represent something as simple as invoking a system call or more
complicated interactions such as a particular line of code being executed.
Listing 1 shows a simple example of a DTrace script that counts the number
of system calls made by each process. (Note the use of the dictionary to
associate counts with processes). The format of the script includes the
probe (which fires when a system call is made) and an action (the
corresponding action script).
Listing 1. A simple DTrace script to count system calls per process
syscall:::entry { @num[pid,execname] = count(); }
DTrace has been an enviable part of Solaris, so it's not surprising to find it developed for other operating systems, as well. DTrace was released under the Common Development and Distribution License (CDDL) and has been ported into the FreeBSD operating system.
Another useful kernel-tracing facility called ProbeVue was developed
by IBM for the IBM® AIX® operating system, version 6.1. You
can use ProbeVue to explore the behavior and performance of a system as
well as provide detailed information about a particular process. The tool
does this in a dynamic way, using a standard kernel. Listing 2 shows a
sample script for ProbeVue that indicates the particular process that's
calling the
sync system call.
Listing 2. A simple ProbeVue script to indicate which of your processes invoked sync
@@syscall:*:sync:entry { printf( "sync() syscall invoked by process ID %d\n", __pid ); exit(); }
Given the usefulness of DTrace and ProbeVue on their respective operating systems, an open source project for Linux was inevitable. SystemTap began in 2005 and provides similar functionality to both DTrace and ProbeVue. It was developed by a community that includes Red Hat, Intel, Hitachi, and IBM, among others.
Each of these solutions provides similar functionality, using probes and associated action scripts when the probes fire. Now, let's look at the installation of SystemTap, then explore its architecture and use.
Installing SystemTap
Depending on your distribution and kernel, you may support SystemTap with nothing more than a SystemTap installation. In other cases, a debug kernel image is required. This section walks through installation of SystemTap on Ubuntu version 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex), which is not representative of a SystemTap installation. In the Related topics section, you'll find more information on installations for other distributions and versions.
For most users, a simple installation of SystemTap is all that's required.
For Ubuntu, you use
$ sudo apt-get install systemtap
With the installation complete, you can test your kernel to see whether it supports SystemTap. The following simple command-line script meets that goal:
$ sudo stap -ve 'probe begin { log("hello world") exit() }'
If this script works, you'll see "hello world" on standard output
[stdout]. If not, sorry, you have some additional work to do. For
Ubuntu 8.10, a debug kernel image was required. It should be possible
to simply use
apt-get to retrieve the package
linux-image-debug-generic. But because this
couldn't be done directly with
apt-get, you can
download one and install it through
dpkg. You
can download the generic debug image and install as shown below:
$ wget http://ddebs.ubuntu.com/pool/main/l/linux/ linux-image-debug-2.6.27-14-generic_2.6.27-14.39_i386.ddeb $ sudo dpkg -i linux-image-debug-2.6.27-14-generic_2.6.27-14.39_i386.ddeb
You now have a generic debug image installed. There is just one more step for Ubuntu 8.10: The SystemTap distribution had a problem that you can easily solve by modifying the SystemTap source. Check out Related topics for information on how to update the run time time.c file.
If you have a custom kernel, you'll need to ensure that the kernel
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO, and
CONFIG_KPROBES are enabled.
SystemTap architecture
Let's dig into some of the details of SystemTap to understand how it provides dynamic probes within a running kernel. You'll also see how SystemTap works, from the scripting process to getting these scripts active within a running kernel.
Dynamically instrumenting a kernel
Two of the methods used in SystemTap to instrument a running kernel are Kprobes and return probes. But an important element of understanding any kernel is the map of the kernel, which provides symbol information (such as functions and variables as well as their addresses). Having the map, you can resolve the address of any symbol and make changes to support probing behavior.
Kprobes has been in the mainline Linux kernel since version 2.6.9 and provides a general service for probing a kernel. It provides a few different services, but two of the most important are Kprobe and Kretprobe. The Kprobe is architecture specific and inserts a breakpoint instruction at the first byte of the instruction to be probed. When the instruction is hit, the particular handler for the probe is executed. When complete, the original instruction is executed (from the breakpoint), and execution continues at that point.
Kretprobes are a bit different, operating on the return of the called function. Note that because a function may have many return points, it sounds a bit complicated. However, it actually uses a simple technique called a trampoline. Rather than instrument every return point in a function (which would not catch all cases), you add a small amount of code to the function entry. This code replaces the return address on the stack with the trampoline address—the Kretprobe address. When the function exists, instead of returning to the caller, it calls the Kretprobe, which executes its functionality, then returns to the actual caller from the Kretprobe.
The SystemTap process
Figure 1 presents the basic flow of the SystemTap process, involving three
interacting utilities over five phases. The process begins with the
SystemTap script. You use the
stap utility to
convert the stap script into the kernel module that provides the probe
behaviors. The stap process begins with a translation of the script into a
parse tree (pass 1). The symbols are then resolved using symbol
information about the currently running kernel in the elaboration step
(pass 2). The translation process then converts the parse tree into
C source (pass 3) and uses the resolved
information as well as what are called tapset scripts (libraries of
useful functionality defined by SystemTap). The final step of stap is the
construction of the kernel module (pass 4), which uses the local kernel
module build process.
Figure 1. The SystemTap process
With the availability of the kernel module,
hands control over to two other SystemTap utilities:
staprun and
These two utilities work in concert to manage the installation of the
module into the kernel and route its output to stdout (pass 5). If you
press Ctrl-C in the shell or the script exits, the cleanup process is
performed, which unloads the module and causes all associated utilities to
An interesting feature of SystemTap is the ability to cache script translations. If a script is to be installed and hasn't changed, you can use the existing module instead of going through the process of rebuilding it. Figure 2 shows the user-space and kernel-space elements along with the stap-based translation process.
Figure 2. The SystemTap process from the kernel/user-space perspective
SystemTap scripting
Scripting in SystemTap is quite simple but also flexible, with many options to get out of it what you need. The Related topics section provides links to manuals that detail the language and possibilities, but this section explores a few examples to give you a taste of SystemTap scripts.
SystemTap scripts are made up of probes and associated blocks of code to be executed when the probe fires. Probes have a number of defined patterns, such as those shown in Table 1. This table enumerates several probe types, including calling a kernel function and returning from a kernel function.
Table 1. Example probe patterns
|Probe type
|Fires when the script begins
|Fires when the script ends
|Fires when
sys_sync is called
|Same as above
|Fires when
sys_sync returns
|Fires when any system call is made
|Fires when line 934 of fork.c is hit
|Fires when the ext3
write function is
|Fires every 1000 kernel jiffies
|Fires every 200ms, with a linearly distributed random additive (-50 to +50)
Let's look at a simple example to understand how to construct a probe and
associate code with that probe. A sample probe is shown in Listing 3 that
exists to fire when the kernel system call
sys_sync is invoked. When this probe fires, you
want to count the number of invocations and emit this count with an
indication of the calling process ID (PID). First, declare a global value
that any probe can use (the global namespace is common to all probes),
then initialize it to zero. Next, define your probe, which is an entry
probe into the kernel function
sys_sync. The
script associated with the probe is to increment the
count variable, then to emit a message that
defines the number of times the call has been made and the PID for the
current invocation. Note that this example appears very much like
C (except for the probe definition syntax),
which, if you have a background in
C, is great.
Listing 3. A simple probe and script
global count=0 probe kernel.function("sys_sync") { count++ printf( "sys_sync called %d times, currently by pid %d\n", count, pid ); }
You can also declare functions that probes can call, which is perfect for common functions for which you'd like to serve multiple probes. The tool even supports recursion to a given depth.
Variables and types
SystemTap permits definition of variables of a number of types, but the type is inferred from context, so no type declarations are needed. In SystemTap, you'll find numbers (64-bit signed integers), integers (64-bit quantities), strings, and literals (strings or integers). You can also use associative arrays and statistics (which we'll explore later).
SystemTap provides all of the necessary operators that you'd expect from
C and follows the same rules. You'll find
arithmetic operators, binary operators, assignment operators, and pointer
dereferencing. You'll also find some simplifications from
C, which include string concatenation,
associative array elements, and aggregation operators.
Language elements
Within a probe, SystemTap provides a comfortable set of statements
reminiscent of
C. Note that although the
language allows you to develop complex scripts, only 1000 statements can
be executed per probe (though this number is configurable).
Table 2 provides a short list of the language
statements just to provide an overview. Note here that many elements
appear exactly as they do in
C, though there
are some additions specific to SystemTap.
Table 2. Language elements of SystemTap
if (exp) {} else {}
if-then-else statement
for (exp1 ; exp2 ; exp3 ) {}
for loop
while (exp) {}
while loop
do {} while (exp)
do-while loop
|Exit iteration
|Continue iteration
|Return from the probe
|Return an expression from a function
foreach (VAR in ARRAY) {}
|Iterate an array, assigning the current key to
This article explores the facilities of statistics and aggregation in the
sample scripts, as these do not have counterparts in the
C language.
Finally, SystemTap provides a number of internal functions that offer
additional information about the current context. For example, you can use
caller() to identify the calling function,
cpu() to identify the current processor number,
pid() to return the PID. SystemTap provides
a number of other functions, as well, providing access to the call stack
and current registers.
SystemTap examples
With a quick introduction to SystemTap under your belt, let's explore a few simple examples to see how SystemTap really works. This article also demonstrate some of the interesting aspects of the scripting language, such as aggregations.
System call monitoring
The previous section explored a simple script to monitor the
sync system call. Now, let's look at a more
general script that can monitor all system calls and collect additional
information about them.
Listing 4 shows a simple script that includes a global variable definition
and three separate probes. The first probe is invoked when the script is
first loaded (the
begin probe). In this probe,
you simply emit a text message to indicate that the script is running in
the kernel. Next, you have a
syscall probe.
Note the use of the wildcard (
*) here, which
tells SystemTap to monitor all matching system calls. When the probe
fires, you increment an associative array element for the given PID and
process name. The final probe is a timer probe. This probe fires after
10,000 milliseconds (10 seconds). The script for this probe then emits the
collected data (iterating through each of the associative array members).
When all members have been iterated, the
call is made, which causes the module to unload and all associated
SystemTap processes to exit.
Listing 4. Monitoring all system calls (profile.stp)
global syscalllist probe begin { printf("System Call Monitoring Started (10 seconds)...\n") } probe syscall.* { syscalllist[pid(), execname()]++ } probe timer.ms(10000) { foreach ( [pid, procname] in syscalllist ) { printf("%s[%d] = %d\n", procname, pid, syscalllist[pid, procname] ) } exit() }
The output for the script in Listing 4 is shown in Listing 5. You can see from this script each of the processes running in user space and the number of system calls made over the 10-second period.
Listing 5. Output from the profile.stp script
$ sudo stap profile.stp System Call Monitoring Started (10 seconds)... stapio[16208] = 104 gnome-terminal[6416] = 196 Xorg[5525] = 90 vmware-guestd[5307] = 764 hald-addon-stor[4969] = 30 hald-addon-stor[4988] = 15 update-notifier[6204] = 10 munin-node[5925] = 5 gnome-panel[6190] = 33 ntpd[5830] = 20 pulseaudio[6152] = 25 miniserv.pl[5859] = 10 syslogd[4513] = 5 gnome-power-man[6215] = 4 gconfd-2[6157] = 5 hald[4877] = 3 $
System call monitoring for a specific process
In this example, you modify your last script slightly to collect system call data for a single process. Further, instead of just capturing counts, you capture the specific system call that's being made for your target process. The script is shown in Listing 6.
This example tests for the particular process of interest (in this case,
syslog daemon), then changes your
associative array to map system call names to counts. When your timer
probe fires, you emit the system call and count data.
Listing 6. New system call monitoring script (syslog_profile.stp)
global syscalllist probe begin { printf("Syslog Monitoring Started (10 seconds)...\n") } probe syscall.* { if (execname() == "syslogd") { syscalllist[name]++ } } probe timer.ms(10000) { foreach ( name in syscalllist ) { printf("%s = %d\n", name, syscalllist[name] ) } exit() }
The output for this script is provided in Listing 7.
Listing 7. SystemTap output for the new script (syslog_profile.stp)
$ sudo stap syslog_profile.stp Syslog Monitoring Started (10 seconds)... writev = 3 rt_sigprocmask = 1 select = 1 $
Using aggregates to capture numerical data
Aggregate instances are a great way to capture statistics on numerical
values. This method is efficient and useful when you're capturing a large
amount of data. In this example, you collect data on network packet
receipt and transmission. Listing 8 defines two new probes to capture
network I/O. Each probe captures the packet length for the given network
device name, PID, and process name. The end probe, which is called if the
user presses Ctrl-C, provides the means to emit the captured data. In this
case, you iterate through the contents of the
recv aggregate, sum the packet lengths for each
tuple (device name, PID, and process name), then emit this data. Note the
extractor used here to sum the tuples: the
@count extractor to grab the number of lengths
captured (packet counts). You could also use the
@sum extractor to perform a summation, the
@min or
@max to
gather the minimum or maximum lengths, respectively, as well as compute
the average with the
@avg extractor.
Listing 8. Gathering network packet length data (net.stp)
global recv, xmit probe begin { printf("Starting network capture (Ctl-C to end)\n") } probe netdev.receive { recv[dev_name, pid(), execname()] <<< length } probe netdev.transmit { xmit[dev_name, pid(), execname()] <<< length } probe end { printf("\nEnd Capture\n\n") printf("Iface Process........ PID.. RcvPktCnt XmtPktCnt\n") foreach ([dev, pid, name] in recv) { recvcount = @count(recv[dev, pid, name]) xmitcount = @count(xmit[dev, pid, name]) printf( "%5s %-15s %-5d %9d %9d\n", dev, name, pid, recvcount, xmitcount ) } delete recv delete xmit }
The output for the script in Listing 8 is provided in Listing 9. Note here that the script exits after the user presses Ctrl-C, then emits the captured data.
Listing 9. The output for net.stp
$ sudo stap net.stp Starting network capture (Ctl-C to end) ^C End Capture Iface Process........ PID.. RcvPktCnt XmtPktCnt eth0 swapper 0 122 85 eth0 metacity 6171 4 2 eth0 gconfd-2 6157 5 1 eth0 firefox 21424 48 98 eth0 Xorg 5525 36 21 eth0 bash 22860 1 0 eth0 vmware-guestd 5307 1 1 eth0 gnome-screensav 6244 6 3 Pass 5: run completed in 0usr/50sys/37694real ms. $
Capturing histogram data
This final example explores how easy it is for SystemTap to present data in
other forms—in this case, a histogram. Returning to the previous
example, capture your data into an aggregate called histogram (see
Listing 10). Then, use the
netdev receive and
transmit probes to capture the packet length data. When the probe ends,
you emit the data in a histogram using the
@hist_log extractor.
Listing 10. Capturing and presenting histogram data (nethist.stp)
global histogram probe begin { printf("Capturing...\n") } probe netdev.receive { histogram <<< length } probe netdev.transmit { histogram <<< length } probe end { printf( "\n" ) print( @hist_log(histogram) ) }
The output from Listing 10 is shown in Listing 11. In this example, a
browser session, FTP session, and
ping were
used to generate network traffic. The
extractor is a base-2 logarithmic histogram (as shown). Other histograms
can be captured, allowing you to define the bucket sizes.
Listing 11. Histogram output from nethist.stp
$ sudo stap nethist.stp Capturing... ^C value |-------------------------------------------------- count 8 | 0 16 | 0 32 |@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ 1601 64 |@ 52 128 |@ 46 256 |@@@@ 164 512 |@@@ 140 1024 |@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ 2033 2048 | 0 4096 | 0 $

(670 The Score) Cubs president of baseball operations Theo Epstein believes that soon enough, MLB players increase their social activism and call for change in hot-button issues that society is facing.
"I would bet it's coming soon," Epstein said on the Spiegel and Parkins Show on 670 The Score on Wednesday. "This generation of players, millennials aren't shy, and they shouldn't be. So I think you'll see it change real soon."
Recently, Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo called for change — although he didn't use the words "gun control" or "guns" — in the aftermath of a mass shooting that killed 17 people at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. That was his alma mater.
Count Epstein among those who would welcome MLB players speaking out on social issues more often, such as the gun control debate.
"Especially on an issue like that where you see such a tremendous disparity between the public opinion on the issue of gun laws and the behavior of elected officials, there's a huge divide there, and it's really difficult to understand why," Epstein said. "Obviously, it comes down to money and influence and lobbying. You know, that's not what this democracy is founded on. I think in helping to explain and overcome that divide, it takes a lot of people speaking out. I certainly welcome what Anthony did.
"We all have a responsibility to follow our conscience and take actions that we think are needed and for the betterment of society, but I also think there's a fine balance between doing that and sort of thinking that every thought you have inside your own head is interesting to everybody else and all your fans and that they're all going to follow you. I think you have to do your job and do it well and appropriately and professionally. And then you also have to be a citizen and an active participant in democracy, in whatever form that takes. I don't think you should shy away from any issue, but I also think you sort of have to respect the position you're in and respect that all your fans don't feel the same way."
