King James Version
Numbers 9
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the first month of the second year after they were come out of the land of Egypt, saying,
2 Let the children of Israel also keep the passover at his appointed season.
3 In the fourteenth day of this month, at even, ye shall keep it in his appointed season: according to all the rites of it, and according to all the ceremonies thereof, shall ye keep it.
4 And Moses spake unto the children of Israel, that they should keep the passover.
5 And they kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the first month at even in the wilderness of Sinai: according to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so did the children of Israel.
6 And there were certain men, who were defiled by the dead body of a man, that they could not keep the passover on that day: and they came before Moses and before Aaron on that day:
7 And those men said unto him, We are defiled by the dead body of a man: wherefore are we kept back, that we may not offer an offering of the LORD in his appointed season among the children of Israel?
8 And Moses said unto them, Stand still, and I will hear what the LORD will command concerning you.
9 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
10 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If any man of you or of your posterity shall be unclean by reason of a dead body, or be in a journey afar off, yet he shall keep the passover unto the LORD.
11 The fourteenth day of the second month at even they shall keep it, and eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.
12 They shall leave none of it unto the morning, nor break any bone of it: according to all the ordinances of the passover they shall keep it.
13 But the man that is clean, and is not in a journey, and forbeareth to keep the passover, even the same soul shall be cut off from among his people: because he brought not the offering of the LORD in his appointed season, that man shall bear his sin.
14 And if a stranger shall sojourn among you, and will keep the passover unto the LORD; according to the ordinance of the passover, and according to the manner thereof, so shall he do: ye shall have one ordinance, both for the stranger, and for him that was born in the land.
15 And on the day that the tabernacle was reared up the cloud covered the tabernacle, namely, the tent of the testimony: and at even there was upon the tabernacle as it were the appearance of fire, until the morning.
16 So it was alway: the cloud covered it by day, and the appearance of fire by night.
17 And when the cloud was taken up from the tabernacle, then after that the children of Israel journeyed: and in the place where the cloud abode, there the children of Israel pitched their tents.
18 At the commandment of the LORD the children of Israel journeyed, and at the commandment of the LORD they pitched: as long as the cloud abode upon the tabernacle they rested in their tents.
19 And when the cloud tarried long upon the tabernacle many days, then the children of Israel kept the charge of the LORD, and journeyed not.
20 And so it was, when the cloud was a few days upon the tabernacle; according to the commandment of the LORD they abode in their tents, and according to the commandment of the LORD they journeyed.
21 And so it was, when the cloud abode from even unto the morning, and that the cloud was taken up in the morning, then they journeyed: whether it was by day or by night that the cloud was taken up, they journeyed.
22 Or whether it were two days, or a month, or a year, that the cloud tarried upon the tabernacle, remaining thereon, the children of Israel abode in their tents, and journeyed not: but when it was taken up, they journeyed.
23 At the commandment of the LORD they rested in the tents, and at the commandment of the LORD they journeyed: they kept the charge of the LORD, at the commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses.

Proxy Support How-To
Table of Contents
Using standard configurations of Tomcat, web applications can ask for the server name and port number to which the request was directed for processing. When Tomcat is running standalone with the HTTP/1.1 Connector, it will generally report the server name specified in the request, and the port number on which the Connector is listening. The servlet API calls of interest, for this purpose, are:
: Returns the host name of the server to which the request was sent.ServletRequest.getServerPort()
: Returns the port number of the server to which the request was sent.ServletRequest.getLocalName()
: Returns the host name of the Internet Protocol (IP) interface on which the request was received.ServletRequest.getLocalPort()
: Returns the Internet Protocol (IP) port number of the interface on which the request was received.
When you are running behind a proxy server (or a web server that is
configured to behave like a proxy server), you will sometimes prefer to
manage the values returned by these calls. In particular, you will
generally want the port number to reflect that specified in the original
request, not the one on which the Connector itself is
listening. You can use the proxyName
and proxyPort
attributes on the <Connector>
element to configure
these values.
Proxy support can take many forms. The following sections describe proxy configurations for several common cases.
Apache httpd Proxy Support
Apache httpd 1.3 and later versions support an optional module
) that configures the web server to act as a proxy
server. This can be used to forward requests for a particular web application
to a Tomcat instance, without having to configure a web connector such as
. To accomplish this, you need to perform the following
Configure your copy of Apache so that it includes the
module. If you are building from source, the easiest way to do this is to include the--enable-module=proxy
directive on the./configure
command line.If not already added for you, make sure that you are loading the
module at Apache startup time, by using the following directives in yourhttpd.conf
file:LoadModule proxy_module {path-to-modules}/mod_proxy.so
Include two directives in your
file for each web application that you wish to forward to Tomcat. For example, to forward an application at context path/myapp
:ProxyPass /myapp http://localhost:8081/myapp ProxyPassReverse /myapp http://localhost:8081/myapp
which tells Apache to forward URLs of the form
to the Tomcat connector listening on port 8081.Configure your copy of Tomcat to include a special
element, with appropriate proxy settings, for example:<Connector port="8081" ... proxyName="www.mycompany.com" proxyPort="80"/>
which will cause servlets inside this web application to think that all proxied requests were directed to
on port 80.It is legal to omit the
attribute from the<Connector>
element. If you do so, the value returned byrequest.getServerName()
will by the host name on which Tomcat is running. In the example above, it would belocalhost
.If you also have a
listening on port 8080 (nested within the same Service element), the requests to either port will share the same set of virtual hosts and web applications.You might wish to use the IP filtering features of your operating system to restrict connections to port 8081 (in this example) to be allowed only from the server that is running Apache.
Alternatively, you can set up a series of web applications that are only available via proxying, as follows:
When requests are proxied by Apache, the web server will be recording these requests in its access log. Therefore, you will generally want to disable any access logging performed by Tomcat itself.
When requests are proxied in this manner, all requests
for the configured web applications will be processed by Tomcat (including
requests for static content). You can improve performance by using the
web connector instead of mod_proxy
can be configured so that the web server serves static
content that is not processed by filters or security constraints defined
within the web application's deployment descriptor

Judgment on Jerusalem and Judah
1* The Lord, the LORD of hosts,
will take away from Jerusalem and from Judah
Support and staff—
all support of bread,
all support of water:a
2Hero and warrior,
judge and prophet, diviner and elder,
3The captain of fifty and the nobleman,
counselor, skilled magician, and expert charmer.
4I will place boys as their princes;
the fickle will govern them,b
5And the people will oppress one another,
yes, each one the neighbor.
The child will be insolent toward the elder,
and the base toward the honorable.c
6When anyone seizes a brother
in their father's house, saying,
"You have clothes! Be our ruler,
and take in hand this ruin!"—
7He will cry out in that day:
"I cannot be a healer,d
when there is neither bread nor clothing in my own house!
You will not make me a ruler of the people!"
8Jerusalem has stumbled, Judah has fallen;
for their speech and deeds affront the LORD,
a provocation in the sight of his majesty.
9Their very look bears witness against them;e
they boast of their sin like Sodom,f
They do not hide it.
Woe to them!
They deal out evil to themselves.
10Happy the just, for it will go well with them,
the fruit of their works they will eat.
11Woe to the wicked! It will go ill with them,
with the work of their hands they will be repaid.
12My people—infants oppress them,
women rule over them!
My people, your leaders deceive you,g
they confuse the paths you should follow.
13* The LORD rises to accuse,
stands to try his people.
14The Lord enters into judgment
with the people's elders and princes:
You, you who have devoured the vineyard;
the loot wrested from the poor is in your houses.
15What do you mean by crushing my people,
and grinding down the faces of the poor?
says the Lord, the GOD of hosts.
The Haughty Women of Zion*
16The LORD said:h
Because the daughters of Zion are haughty,
and walk with necks outstretched,
Ogling and mincing as they go,
their anklets tinkling with every step,
17The Lord shall cover the scalps of Zion's daughters with scabs,
and the LORD shall lay bare their heads.* i
18* On that day the LORD will do away with the finery of the anklets, sunbursts, and crescents; 19the pendants, bracelets, and veils; 20the headdresses, bangles, cinctures, perfume boxes, and amulets; 21the signet rings, and the nose rings; 22the court dresses, wraps, cloaks, and purses; 23the lace gowns, linen tunics, turbans, and shawls.
24Instead of perfume there will be stench,
instead of a girdle, a rope,
And instead of elaborate coiffure, baldness;
instead of a rich gown, a sackcloth skirt.
Then, instead of beauty, shame.
25Your men will fall by the sword,
26Her gates will lament and mourn,
as the city sits desolate on the ground.k
* [3:1–12] These verses suggest deportation, with resulting social upheaval, and thus may date to sometime after Ahaz submitted as vassal to Assyria. The deportation practiced by Assyria, as later by Babylon, exiled the leading elements of society, such as those named in vv. 2–3; cf. 2 Kgs 24:12, 14–16 for a similar list of those exiled by the Babylonians. Denuding society of its leaders opens the way to near anarchy and a situation in which leadership is seized by or thrust upon those unqualified for it (vv. 5–7). The situation has been provoked by sinfully inept leadership (vv. 4, 8–9, 12). Some suggest that vv. 4 and 12 refer to Ahaz, who may have come to the throne at an early age. Verses 10–11 form a wisdom couplet that was inserted later.
* [3:13–15] The princes and the elders, here accused of despoiling the poor, are the very ones who should be their defenders. Loot: by the Hebrew term (gazela) Isaiah conveys the idea of violent seizure, though 10:1–4 suggests the poor could be plundered by legal means.
* [3:16–4:1] Here and again in 32:9–14 Isaiah condemns the women of the ruling class for their part in Jerusalem's plight.
* [3:17] A shaven head is a mark of social disgrace; cf. Nm 5:18.
* [3:18–23] The long list of women's apparel in these verses suggests luxury and vanity; it contains a number of rare words, and the precise meaning of many of the terms is uncertain.
* [3:25] Your men…your champions: the second person feminine singular pronoun here shows that the prophet has shifted his attention from the women of Zion to the personified city of Zion.
b. [3:4] Eccl 10:16.
h. [3:16] Is 32:9–14; Ez 16:50; Am 4:1–3.

A frenulum is a piece of tissue that prevents an organ from moving. There is a frenulum that attaches your upper lip to the gums, while another connects the lower lip to the gums. A frenulum that is too short or thick, will cause problems in speech patterns and tooth misalignment. In infants, a shortened frenulum underneath the tongue will inhibit breastfeeding. When the frenulum disrupts movement, growth, or development, corrective action is necessary to resolve the situation.
A frenectomy is a minor surgical procedure that is performed in your dentist's office. It can be performed with either a scalpel or laser and takes less than 15 minutes. Using a laser causes very little bleeding and does not require stitches. A laser also results in less postoperative discomfort and a shorter healing time. Young children and infants are put under general anesthesia for the procedure and adults have the procedure performed using local anesthesia. If your child needs a frenectomy, there is nothing to worry about. The procedure is very successful and causes minimal discomfort.

The four big software vendors -- Microsoft, Oracle, IBM, and SAP -- have hidden motives that customers need to understand, otherwise they might be pushed into buying products and services that don't fit their needs.
That's the takeaway from a recent Gartner talk in Australia, reported by IT News.
At a symposium this week, Gartner analyst Dennis Gaughan explained what the four big vendors are really trying to do, based on Gartner's experience with its clients.
- Microsoft mainly wants to protect Windows and Office. Microsoft is a platform company, and its main goal is to protect its highly lucrative Windows and Office monopolies, while establishing other platforms that will be hard for customers to break away from later. New functionality is "drip fed" to users of those core platforms, but new products exist to protect the core. He advised extreme caution before moving to Office 365, and said not to slip into an "all-Microsoft" mentality.
- Oracle products don't really work well together. Oracle's sales force is extremely aggressive about pushing a suite of products, but has much fewer integration points than SAP. In fact, integration is usually left entirely up to the customer. Oracle is also very reluctant to talk about product roadmaps for fear that future products will cannibalize existing ones. The company makes more than 90% of its profits through maintenance fees, and will do whatever it takes to keep those fees flowing in. Gaughan also expressed some surprise that so many customers keep working with Oracle despite reporting that Oracle is "the most difficult vendor to deal with."
- IBM wants to take over your IT strategy. IBM bills itself as a thought leader, but its real business is selling consulting services. To thrive, IBM account managers try to take control of a company's IT strategy so they can keep pushing new products. Gaughan recommends taking a collaborative or partner approach.
- SAP confuses customers with pricing. A lot of SAP customers ask Gartner for help figuring out SAP's pricing and licensing, as SAP has unusual terms for billing data going into and out of systems. Gaughan also said that a big technology transition that was driving SAP revenue for the last few years -- moving existing customers from the old R/3 system to the newer Business Suite -- is almost done, which means SAP will have to be more aggressive with maintenance fees. He recommended locking in maintenance prices now.
Overall, Gaughan said that most of the innovation being done in these companies is in their research arms. Their real goal is protecting the status quo for as long as possible.

Module::Build(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Module::Build(3)
Module::Build - Build and install Perl modules
Standard process for building & installing modules: perl Build.PL ./Build ./Build test ./Build install Or, if you're on a platform (like DOS or Windows) that doesn't require the "./" notation, you can do this: perl Build.PL Build Build test Build install
"Module::Build" is a system for building, testing, and installing Perl modules. It is meant to be an alternative to "ExtUtils::MakeMaker". Developers may alter the behavior of the module through subclassing. It also does not require a "make" on your system - most of the "Module::Build" code is pure-perl and written in a very cross-platform way. See "COMPARISON" for more comparisons between "Module::Build" and other installer tools. To install "Module::Build", and any other module that uses "Module::Build" for its installation process, do the following: perl Build.PL # 'Build.PL' script creates the 'Build' script ./Build # Need ./ to ensure we're using this "Build" script ./Build test # and not another one that happens to be in the PATH ./Build install This illustrates initial configuration and the running of three 'actions'. In this case the actions run are 'build' (the default action), 'test', and 'install'. Other actions defined so far include: build manifest clean manifest_skip code manpages config_data pardist diff ppd dist ppmdist distcheck prereq_data distclean prereq_report distdir pure_install distinstall realclean distmeta retest distsign skipcheck disttest test docs testall fakeinstall testcover help testdb html testpod install testpodcoverage installdeps versioninstall You can run the 'help' action for a complete list of actions.
The documentation for "Module::Build" is broken up into sections: General Usage (Module::Build) This is the document you are currently reading. It describes basic usage and background information. Its main purpose is to assist the user who wants to learn how to invoke and control "Module::Build" scripts at the command line. Authoring Reference (Module::Build::Authoring) This document describes the structure and organization of "Module::Build", and the relevant concepts needed by authors who are writing Build.PL scripts for a distribution or controlling "Module::Build" processes programmatically. API Reference (Module::Build::API) This is a reference to the "Module::Build" API. Cookbook (Module::Build::Cookbook) This document demonstrates how to accomplish many common tasks. It covers general command line usage and authoring of Build.PL scripts. Includes working examples.
There are some general principles at work here. First, each task when building a module is called an "action". These actions are listed above; they correspond to the building, testing, installing, packaging, etc., tasks. Second, arguments are processed in a very systematic way. Arguments are always key=value pairs. They may be specified at "perl Build.PL" time (i.e. "perl Build.PL destdir=/my/secret/place"), in which case their values last for the lifetime of the "Build" script. They may also be specified when executing a particular action (i.e. "Build test verbose=1"), in which case their values last only for the lifetime of that command. Per-action command line parameters take precedence over parameters specified at "perl Build.PL" time. The build process also relies heavily on the "Config.pm" module. If the user wishes to override any of the values in "Config.pm", she may specify them like so: perl Build.PL --config cc=gcc --config ld=gcc The following build actions are provided by default. build [version 0.01] If you run the "Build" script without any arguments, it runs the "build" action, which in turn runs the "code" and "docs" actions. This is analogous to the "MakeMaker" make all target. clean [version 0.01] This action will clean up any files that the build process may have created, including the "blib/" directory (but not including the "_build/" directory and the "Build" script itself). code [version 0.20] This action builds your code base. By default it just creates a "blib/" directory and copies any ".pm" and ".pod" files from your "lib/" directory into the "blib/" directory. It also compiles any ".xs" files from "lib/" and places them in "blib/". Of course, you need a working C compiler (probably the same one that built perl itself) for the compilation to work properly. The "code" action also runs any ".PL" files in your lib/ directory. Typically these create other files, named the same but without the ".PL" ending. For example, a file lib/Foo/Bar.pm.PL could create the file lib/Foo/Bar.pm. The ".PL" files are processed first, so any ".pm" files (or other kinds that we deal with) will get copied correctly. config_data [version 0.26] ... diff [version 0.14] This action will compare the files about to be installed with their installed counterparts. For .pm and .pod files, a diff will be shown (this currently requires a 'diff' program to be in your PATH). For other files like compiled binary files, we simply report whether they differ. A "flags" parameter may be passed to the action, which will be passed to the 'diff' program. Consult your 'diff' documentation for the parameters it will accept - a good one is "-u": ./Build diff flags=-u dist [version 0.02] This action is helpful for module authors who want to package up their module for source distribution through a medium like CPAN. It will create a tarball of the files listed in MANIFEST and compress the tarball using GZIP compression. By default, this action will use the "Archive::Tar" module. However, you can force it to use binary "tar" and "gzip" executables by supplying an explicit "tar" (and optional "gzip") parameter: ./Build dist --tar C:\path\to\tar.exe --gzip C:\path\to\zip.exe distcheck [version 0.05] Reports which files are in the build directory but not in the MANIFEST file, and vice versa. (See "manifest" for details.) distclean [version 0.05] Performs the 'realclean' action and then the 'distcheck' action. distdir [version 0.05] Creates a "distribution directory" named "$dist_name-$dist_version" (if that directory already exists, it will be removed first), then copies all the files listed in the MANIFEST file to that directory. This directory is what the distribution tarball is created from. distinstall [version 0.37] Performs the 'distdir' action, then switches into that directory and runs a "perl Build.PL", followed by the 'build' and 'install' actions in that directory. Use PERL_MB_OPT or .modulebuildrc to set options that should be applied during subprocesses distmeta [version 0.21] Creates the META.yml file that describes the distribution. META.yml is a file containing various bits of metadata about the distribution. The metadata includes the distribution name, version, abstract, prerequisites, license, and various other data about the distribution. This file is created as META.yml in a simplified YAML format. META.yml file must also be listed in MANIFEST - if it's not, a warning will be issued. The current version of the META.yml specification can be found on CPAN as CPAN::Meta::Spec. distsign [version 0.16] Uses "Module::Signature" to create a SIGNATURE file for your distribution, and adds the SIGNATURE file to the distribution's MANIFEST. disttest [version 0.05] Performs the 'distdir' action, then switches into that directory and runs a "perl Build.PL", followed by the 'build' and 'test' actions in that directory. Use PERL_MB_OPT or .modulebuildrc to set options that should be applied during subprocesses docs [version 0.20] This will generate documentation (e.g. Unix man pages and HTML documents) for any installable items under blib/ that contain POD. If there are no "bindoc" or "libdoc" installation targets defined (as will be the case on systems that don't support Unix manpages) no action is taken for manpages. If there are no "binhtml" or "libhtml" installation targets defined no action is taken for HTML documents. fakeinstall [version 0.02] This is just like the "install" action, but it won't actually do anything, it will just report what it would have done if you had actually run the "install" action. help [version 0.03] This action will simply print out a message that is meant to help you use the build process. It will show you a list of available build actions too. With an optional argument specifying an action name (e.g. "Build help test"), the 'help' action will show you any POD documentation it can find for that action. html [version 0.26] This will generate HTML documentation for any binary or library files under blib/ that contain POD. The HTML documentation will only be installed if the install paths can be determined from values in "Config.pm". You can also supply or override install paths on the command line by specifying "install_path" values for the "binhtml" and/or "libhtml" installation targets. With an optional "html_links" argument set to a false value, you can skip the search for other documentation to link to, because that can waste a lot of time if there aren't any links to generate anyway: ./Build html --html_links 0 install [version 0.01] This action will use "ExtUtils::Install" to install the files from "blib/" into the system. See "INSTALL PATHS" for details about how Module::Build determines where to install things, and how to influence this process. If you want the installation process to look around in @INC for other versions of the stuff you're installing and try to delete it, you can use the "uninst" parameter, which tells "ExtUtils::Install" to do so: ./Build install uninst=1 This can be a good idea, as it helps prevent multiple versions of a module from being present on your system, which can be a confusing situation indeed. installdeps [version 0.36] This action will use the "cpan_client" parameter as a command to install missing prerequisites. You will be prompted whether to install optional dependencies. The "cpan_client" option defaults to 'cpan' but can be set as an option or in .modulebuildrc. It must be a shell command that takes a list of modules to install as arguments (e.g. 'cpanp -i' for CPANPLUS). If the program part is a relative path (e.g. 'cpan' or 'cpanp'), it will be located relative to the perl program that executed Build.PL. /opt/perl/5.8.9/bin/perl Build.PL ./Build installdeps --cpan_client 'cpanp -i' # installs to 5.8.9 manifest [version 0.05] This is an action intended for use by module authors, not people installing modules. It will bring the MANIFEST up to date with the files currently present in the distribution. You may use a MANIFEST.SKIP file to exclude certain files or directories from inclusion in the MANIFEST. MANIFEST.SKIP should contain a bunch of regular expressions, one per line. If a file in the distribution directory matches any of the regular expressions, it won't be included in the MANIFEST. The following is a reasonable MANIFEST.SKIP starting point, you can add your own stuff to it: ^_build ^Build$ ^blib ~$ \.bak$ ^MANIFEST\.SKIP$ CVS See the "distcheck" and "skipcheck" actions if you want to find out what the "manifest" action would do, without actually doing anything. manifest_skip [version 0.3608] This is an action intended for use by module authors, not people installing modules. It will generate a boilerplate MANIFEST.SKIP file if one does not already exist. manpages [version 0.28] This will generate man pages for any binary or library files under blib/ that contain POD. The man pages will only be installed if the install paths can be determined from values in "Config.pm". You can also supply or override install paths by specifying there values on the command line with the "bindoc" and "libdoc" installation targets. pardist [version 0.2806] Generates a PAR binary distribution for use with PAR or PAR::Dist. It requires that the PAR::Dist module (version 0.17 and up) is installed on your system. ppd [version 0.20] Build a PPD file for your distribution. This action takes an optional argument "codebase" which is used in the generated PPD file to specify the (usually relative) URL of the distribution. By default, this value is the distribution name without any path information. Example: ./Build ppd --codebase "MSWin32-x86-multi-thread/Module-Build-0.21.tar.gz" ppmdist [version 0.23] Generates a PPM binary distribution and a PPD description file. This action also invokes the "ppd" action, so it can accept the same "codebase" argument described under that action. This uses the same mechanism as the "dist" action to tar & zip its output, so you can supply "tar" and/or "gzip" parameters to affect the result. prereq_data [version 0.32] This action prints out a Perl data structure of all prerequisites and the versions required. The output can be loaded again using "eval()". This can be useful for external tools that wish to query a Build script for prerequisites. prereq_report [version 0.28] This action prints out a list of all prerequisites, the versions required, and the versions actually installed. This can be useful for reviewing the configuration of your system prior to a build, or when compiling data to send for a bug report. pure_install [version 0.28] This action is identical to the "install" action. In the future, though, when "install" starts writing to the file $(INSTALLARCHLIB)/perllocal.pod, "pure_install" won't, and that will be the only difference between them. realclean [version 0.01] This action is just like the "clean" action, but also removes the "_build" directory and the "Build" script. If you run the "realclean" action, you are essentially starting over, so you will have to re-create the "Build" script again. retest [version 0.2806] This is just like the "test" action, but doesn't actually build the distribution first, and doesn't add blib/ to the load path, and therefore will test against a previously installed version of the distribution. This can be used to verify that a certain installed distribution still works, or to see whether newer versions of a distribution still pass the old regression tests, and so on. skipcheck [version 0.05] Reports which files are skipped due to the entries in the MANIFEST.SKIP file (See "manifest" for details) test [version 0.01] This will use "Test::Harness" or "TAP::Harness" to run any regression tests and report their results. Tests can be defined in the standard places: a file called "test.pl" in the top-level directory, or several files ending with ".t" in a "t/" directory. If you want tests to be 'verbose', i.e. show details of test execution rather than just summary information, pass the argument "verbose=1". If you want to run tests under the perl debugger, pass the argument "debugger=1". If you want to have Module::Build find test files with different file name extensions, pass the "test_file_exts" argument with an array of extensions, such as "[qw( .t .s .z )]". If you want test to be run by "TAP::Harness", rather than "Test::Harness", pass the argument "tap_harness_args" as an array reference of arguments to pass to the TAP::Harness constructor. In addition, if a file called "visual.pl" exists in the top-level directory, this file will be executed as a Perl script and its output will be shown to the user. This is a good place to put speed tests or other tests that don't use the "Test::Harness" format for output. To override the choice of tests to run, you may pass a "test_files" argument whose value is a whitespace-separated list of test scripts to run. This is especially useful in development, when you only want to run a single test to see whether you've squashed a certain bug yet: ./Build test --test_files t/something_failing.t You may also pass several "test_files" arguments separately: ./Build test --test_files t/one.t --test_files t/two.t or use a "glob()"-style pattern: ./Build test --test_files 't/01-*.t' testall [version 0.2807] [Note: the 'testall' action and the code snippets below are currently in alpha stage, see <http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.module.build/2007/03/msg584.html> ] Runs the "test" action plus each of the "test$type" actions defined by the keys of the "test_types" parameter. Currently, you need to define the ACTION_test$type method yourself and enumerate them in the test_types parameter. my $mb = Module::Build->subclass( code => q( sub ACTION_testspecial { shift->generic_test(type => 'special'); } sub ACTION_testauthor { shift->generic_test(type => 'author'); } ) )->new( ... test_types => { special => '.st', author => ['.at', '.pt' ], }, ... testcover [version 0.26] Runs the "test" action using "Devel::Cover", generating a code- coverage report showing which parts of the code were actually exercised during the tests. To pass options to "Devel::Cover", set the $DEVEL_COVER_OPTIONS environment variable: DEVEL_COVER_OPTIONS=-ignore,Build ./Build testcover testdb [version 0.05] This is a synonym for the 'test' action with the "debugger=1" argument. testpod [version 0.25] This checks all the files described in the "docs" action and produces "Test::Harness"-style output. If you are a module author, this is useful to run before creating a new release. testpodcoverage [version 0.28] This checks the pod coverage of the distribution and produces "Test::Harness"-style output. If you are a module author, this is useful to run before creating a new release. versioninstall [version 0.16] ** Note: since "only.pm" is so new, and since we just recently added support for it here too, this feature is to be considered experimental. ** If you have the "only.pm" module installed on your system, you can use this action to install a module into the version-specific library trees. This means that you can have several versions of the same module installed and "use" a specific one like this: use only MyModule => 0.55; To override the default installation libraries in "only::config", specify the "versionlib" parameter when you run the "Build.PL" script: perl Build.PL --versionlib /my/version/place/ To override which version the module is installed as, specify the "version" parameter when you run the "Build.PL" script: perl Build.PL --version 0.50 See the "only.pm" documentation for more information on version- specific installs.
Command Line Options The following options can be used during any invocation of "Build.PL" or the Build script, during any action. For information on other options specific to an action, see the documentation for the respective action. NOTE: There is some preliminary support for options to use the more familiar long option style. Most options can be preceded with the "--" long option prefix, and the underscores changed to dashes (e.g. "--use-rcfile"). Additionally, the argument to boolean options is optional, and boolean options can be negated by prefixing them with "no" or "no-" (e.g. "--noverbose" or "--no-verbose"). quiet Suppress informative messages on output. verbose Display extra information about the Build on output. "verbose" will turn off "quiet" cpan_client Sets the "cpan_client" command for use with the "installdeps" action. See "installdeps" for more details. use_rcfile Load the ~/.modulebuildrc option file. This option can be set to false to prevent the custom resource file from being loaded. allow_mb_mismatch Suppresses the check upon startup that the version of Module::Build we're now running under is the same version that was initially invoked when building the distribution (i.e. when the "Build.PL" script was first run). As of 0.3601, a mismatch results in a warning instead of a fatal error, so this option effectively just suppresses the warning. debug Prints Module::Build debugging information to STDOUT, such as a trace of executed build actions. Default Options File (.modulebuildrc) [version 0.28] When Module::Build starts up, it will look first for a file, $ENV{HOME}/.modulebuildrc. If it's not found there, it will look in the .modulebuildrc file in the directories referred to by the environment variables "HOMEDRIVE" + "HOMEDIR", "USERPROFILE", "APPDATA", "WINDIR", "SYS$LOGIN". If the file exists, the options specified there will be used as defaults, as if they were typed on the command line. The defaults can be overridden by specifying new values on the command line. The action name must come at the beginning of the line, followed by any amount of whitespace and then the options. Options are given the same as they would be on the command line. They can be separated by any amount of whitespace, including newlines, as long there is whitespace at the beginning of each continued line. Anything following a hash mark ("#") is considered a comment, and is stripped before parsing. If more than one line begins with the same action name, those lines are merged into one set of options. Besides the regular actions, there are two special pseudo-actions: the key "*" (asterisk) denotes any global options that should be applied to all actions, and the key 'Build_PL' specifies options to be applied when you invoke "perl Build.PL". * verbose=1 # global options diff flags=-u install --install_base /home/ken --install_path html=/home/ken/docs/html installdeps --cpan_client 'cpanp -i' If you wish to locate your resource file in a different location, you can set the environment variable "MODULEBUILDRC" to the complete absolute path of the file containing your options. Environment variables MODULEBUILDRC [version 0.28] Specifies an alternate location for a default options file as described above. PERL_MB_OPT [version 0.36] Command line options that are applied to Build.PL or any Build action. The string is split as the shell would (e.g. whitespace) and the result is prepended to any actual command-line arguments.
[version 0.19] When you invoke Module::Build's "build" action, it needs to figure out where to install things. The nutshell version of how this works is that default installation locations are determined from Config.pm, and they may be overridden by using the "install_path" parameter. An "install_base" parameter lets you specify an alternative installation root like /home/foo, and a "destdir" lets you specify a temporary installation directory like /tmp/install in case you want to create bundled-up installable packages. Natively, Module::Build provides default installation locations for the following types of installable items: lib Usually pure-Perl module files ending in .pm. arch "Architecture-dependent" module files, usually produced by compiling XS, Inline, or similar code. script Programs written in pure Perl. In order to improve reuse, try to make these as small as possible - put the code into modules whenever possible. bin "Architecture-dependent" executable programs, i.e. compiled C code or something. Pretty rare to see this in a perl distribution, but it happens. bindoc Documentation for the stuff in "script" and "bin". Usually generated from the POD in those files. Under Unix, these are manual pages belonging to the 'man1' category. libdoc Documentation for the stuff in "lib" and "arch". This is usually generated from the POD in .pm files. Under Unix, these are manual pages belonging to the 'man3' category. binhtml This is the same as "bindoc" above, but applies to HTML documents. libhtml This is the same as "libdoc" above, but applies to HTML documents. Four other parameters let you control various aspects of how installation paths are determined: installdirs The default destinations for these installable things come from entries in your system's "Config.pm". You can select from three different sets of default locations by setting the "installdirs" parameter as follows: 'installdirs' set to: core site vendor uses the following defaults from Config.pm: lib => installprivlib installsitelib installvendorlib arch => installarchlib installsitearch installvendorarch script => installscript installsitescript installvendorscript bin => installbin installsitebin installvendorbin bindoc => installman1dir installsiteman1dir installvendorman1dir libdoc => installman3dir installsiteman3dir installvendorman3dir binhtml => installhtml1dir installsitehtml1dir installvendorhtml1dir [*] libhtml => installhtml3dir installsitehtml3dir installvendorhtml3dir [*] * Under some OS (eg. MSWin32) the destination for HTML documents is determined by the C<Config.pm> entry C<installhtmldir>. The default value of "installdirs" is "site". If you're creating vendor distributions of module packages, you may want to do something like this: perl Build.PL --installdirs vendor or ./Build install --installdirs vendor If you're installing an updated version of a module that was included with perl itself (i.e. a "core module"), then you may set "installdirs" to "core" to overwrite the module in its present location. (Note that the 'script' line is different from "MakeMaker" - unfortunately there's no such thing as "installsitescript" or "installvendorscript" entry in "Config.pm", so we use the "installsitebin" and "installvendorbin" entries to at least get the general location right. In the future, if "Config.pm" adds some more appropriate entries, we'll start using those.) install_path Once the defaults have been set, you can override them. On the command line, that would look like this: perl Build.PL --install_path lib=/foo/lib --install_path arch=/foo/lib/arch or this: ./Build install --install_path lib=/foo/lib --install_path arch=/foo/lib/arch install_base You can also set the whole bunch of installation paths by supplying the "install_base" parameter to point to a directory on your system. For instance, if you set "install_base" to "/home/ken" on a Linux system, you'll install as follows: lib => /home/ken/lib/perl5 arch => /home/ken/lib/perl5/i386-linux script => /home/ken/bin bin => /home/ken/bin bindoc => /home/ken/man/man1 libdoc => /home/ken/man/man3 binhtml => /home/ken/html libhtml => /home/ken/html Note that this is different from how "MakeMaker"'s "PREFIX" parameter works. "install_base" just gives you a default layout under the directory you specify, which may have little to do with the "installdirs=site" layout. The exact layout under the directory you specify may vary by system - we try to do the "sensible" thing on each platform. destdir If you want to install everything into a temporary directory first (for instance, if you want to create a directory tree that a package manager like "rpm" or "dpkg" could create a package from), you can use the "destdir" parameter: perl Build.PL --destdir /tmp/foo or ./Build install --destdir /tmp/foo This will effectively install to "/tmp/foo/$sitelib", "/tmp/foo/$sitearch", and the like, except that it will use "File::Spec" to make the pathnames work correctly on whatever platform you're installing on. prefix Provided for compatibility with "ExtUtils::MakeMaker"'s PREFIX argument. "prefix" should be used when you want Module::Build to install your modules, documentation, and scripts in the same place as "ExtUtils::MakeMaker"'s PREFIX mechanism. The following are equivalent. perl Build.PL --prefix /tmp/foo perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/tmp/foo Because of the complex nature of the prefixification logic, the behavior of PREFIX in "MakeMaker" has changed subtly over time. Module::Build's --prefix logic is equivalent to the PREFIX logic found in "ExtUtils::MakeMaker" 6.30. The maintainers of "MakeMaker" do understand the troubles with the PREFIX mechanism, and added INSTALL_BASE support in version 6.31 of "MakeMaker", which was released in 2006. If you don't need to retain compatibility with old versions (pre-6.31) of "ExtUtils::MakeMaker" or are starting a fresh Perl installation we recommend you use "install_base" instead (and "INSTALL_BASE" in "ExtUtils::MakeMaker"). See "Installing in the same location as ExtUtils::MakeMaker" in Module::Build::Cookbook for further information.
A comparison between "Module::Build" and other CPAN distribution installers. o ExtUtils::MakeMaker requires "make" and use of a Makefile. "Module::Build" does not, nor do other pure-perl installers following the Build.PL spec such as Module::Build::Tiny. In practice, this is usually not an issue for the end user, as "make" is already required to install most CPAN modules, even on Windows. o ExtUtils::MakeMaker has been a core module in every version of Perl 5, and must maintain compatibility to install the majority of CPAN modules. "Module::Build" was added to core in Perl 5.10 and removed from core in Perl 5.20, and (like ExtUtils::MakeMaker) is only updated to fix critical issues and maintain compatibility. "Module::Build" and other non-core installers like Module::Build::Tiny are installed from CPAN by declaring themselves as a "configure" phase prerequisite, and in this way any installer can be used in place of ExtUtils::MakeMaker. o Customizing the build process with ExtUtils::MakeMaker involves overriding certain methods that form the Makefile by defining the subs in the "MY::" namespace, requiring in-depth knowledge of Makefile, but allowing targeted customization of the entire build. Customizing "Module::Build" involves subclassing "Module::Build" itself, adding or overriding pure-perl methods that represent build actions, which are invoked as arguments passed to the generated "./Build" script. This is a simpler concept but requires redefining the standard build actions to invoke your customizations. Module::Build::Tiny does not allow for customization. o "Module::Build" provides more features and a better experience for distribution authors than ExtUtils::MakeMaker. However, tools designed specifically for authoring, such as Dist::Zilla and its spinoffs Dist::Milla and Minilla, provide these features and more, and generate a configure script (Makefile.PL/Build.PL) that will use any of the various installers separately on the end user side. App::ModuleBuildTiny is an alternative standalone authoring tool for distributions using Module::Build::Tiny, which requires only a simple two-line Build.PL.
The current method of relying on time stamps to determine whether a derived file is out of date isn't likely to scale well, since it requires tracing all dependencies backward, it runs into problems on NFS, and it's just generally flimsy. It would be better to use an MD5 signature or the like, if available. See "cons" for an example. - append to perllocal.pod - add a 'plugin' functionality

BEIJING — The annual Lunar New Year fireworks barrage in Beijing was notably muted following government appeals to reduce the smoky celebrations after air pollution rose to near catastrophic levels over recent weeks.
The holiday was also being celebrated in Vietnamese and Korean communities, and in North Korea's capital, Pyongyang, streams of residents offered flowers and bowed deeply before giant statues of national founder Kim Il Sung and his son and late leader Kim Jong Il.
In Jakarta, Indonesia, where Chinese cultural observances had been suppressed before 1998, ethnic Chinese flocked to the city's oldest temple Sunday to pray for health and success.
China's capital saw almost twice the number of smoggy days as usual in January, with levels of small particle air pollution going off the charts at times. That prompted calls for restraint, along with a reduction in the number of licensed fireworks sellers and the amount of fireworks on sale.
The fusillades that began on Lunar New Year's eve on Saturday night started later than usual but still grew to furious intensity at midnight. They also died out earlier than usual on Sunday morning, and relatively few explosions were heard during the day.
Setting off fireworks to celebrate renewal and ward off evil spirits is a traditional part of the celebration that marks China's most important family holiday.
Sales of fireworks from Tuesday to Saturday fell 37 percent over the same period last year, from 410,000 cartons to just 260,000, the official Xinhua news agency reported, citing figures from the city government. The city authorized 1,337 fireworks stands this year, down from 1,429 last year, and allowed 750,000 cartons of fireworks to go on sale, down from 810,000.
The Beijing Daily, the city government's official newspaper, carried appeals last week for residents to hold off on fireworks celebrations, saying not doing so would significantly worsen levels of PM2.5 particle pollution forecast to be in the hazardous zone. City environmental bureau readings showed levels well above 200 in most parts of the city Sunday, dangerous but still well below readings of more than 700 seen last month, when Beijing experienced 23 days of smog, up from 10 the previous January.
Beijing was largely helpless in the face of the January smog, while schools canceled outdoor activities, some factories closed and government cars were ordered off the streets. Scores of people, especially the young and elderly, were treated at hospitals for respiratory problems, elevated blood pressure and heart complaints.
Last year's fireworks display created a thick haze that sent 2.5 microgram pollution levels as high as 1,500.
Beijing on Saturday night also saw just 25 injuries and 83 fire emergencies related to fireworks, down almost 29 percent and 45 percent, respectively, from last year.
Beijing permits fireworks displays over a 16-day period surrounding the Lunar New Year, but largely restricts them to suburban areas outside the densely populated city center.
The holiday will continue through the week, with government and businesses shut down and millions of Chinese traveling to their home towns to visit family. Many foreign residents also leave the city, taking the opportunity to enjoy warmer weather in Southeast Asia or travel to Japan and South Korea for skiing holidays.
Chinese leaders have made few public appearances in recent days, although state broadcaster CCTV said new Communist Party leader Xi Jinping visited Saturday with policemen, subway construction workers, taxi drivers and street cleaners in Beijing to thank them for their service.
Premier Wen Jiaobao, who has made a point of spending the holiday eve with workers and the poor, celebrated the last such occasion of his term in office with victims of earthquakes and landslides in western China, CCTV said. Wen steps down in March.
The holiday took on a strong political flavor in North Korea, where current leader Kim Jong Un, the son of Kim Jong Il, who died in December 2011, recently marked his second year in office.
"My longing for our great leader and general has grown stronger as I visited their statues," Pyongyang resident Kim Son Sil told The Associated Press at Mansu Hill, which overlooks the city.
"After this Lunar New Year's Day, I will work harder, true to the leadership of Marshal Kim Jong Un."
Crowds of children also packed a Pyongyang plaza and played traditional Korean games and watched singing and dancing performances, with the capital's streets covered in snow that had fallen Saturday.
Along North Korea's border with China last week, impoverished residents could be seen returning home by bicycle ferry and oxcart. North Korea's economy is on the brink of collapse, and the country remains dependent on China for food and fuel supplies.
At Jakarta's 350-year-old Buddhist temple, Vihara Dharma Bhakti, thousands of celebrants from the Indonesian capital and surrounding regions prayed before burning incense sticks and performed other rituals.
"Our hope for this new year is for our health, well-being and success to be even better than last year," worshipper Nio Ju-ie said.
The Lunar New Year could be celebrated only in private under Gen. Suharto's brutal 32-year dictatorship, but the occasion is now a national holiday in Indonesia, honoring the country's small but highly influential Chinese community.
Associated Press writer Hyung-jin Kim contributed to this report from Seoul, South Korea.

Desyrel is used for treating depression. It may also be used for relief of an anxiety disorder (eg, sleeplessness, tension), chronic pain. Desyrel is an antidepressant. It is thought to increase the activity of one of the brain chemicals (serotonin), which helps elevate mood.
Use Desyrel as directed by your doctor.
- Take Desyrel shortly after a meal or light snack.
- It may take 1 to 4 weeks for Desyrel to work. Do not stop taking Desyrel without checking with your doctor.
- If a dose is missed, take it as soon as possible. If several hours have passed or if it is nearing time for the next dose, do not double the dose to catch up. If more than one dose is missed, restart medication and advise your doctor or pharmacist at your next appointment.
Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about how to use Desyrel.
Store Desyrel at room temperature, between 68 and 77 degrees F (20 and 25 degrees C) in a tight, light-resistant container. Store away from heat, moisture, and light. Protect from temperatures above 104 degrees F (40 degrees C). Do not store in the bathroom. Keep Desyrel out of the reach of children and away from pets.
Active Ingredient: Trazodone HCl.

Methodology (May 2011 Tracking Survey)
This report is based on the findings of a survey on Americans' use of the Internet. The results in this report are based on data from telephone interviews conducted by Princeton Survey Research Associates International from April 26 to May 22, 2011, among a sample of 2,277 adults, age 18 and older. Telephone interviews were conducted in English and Spanish by landline (1,522) and cell phone (755, including 346 without a landline phone). For results based on the total sample, one can say with 95% confidence that the error attributable to sampling is plus or minus 2.4 percentage points. For results based Internet users (n=1,701), the margin of sampling error is plus or minus 2.7 percentage points. In addition to sampling error, question wording and practical difficulties in conducting telephone surveys may introduce some error or bias into the findings of opinion polls.
A combination of landline and cellular random digit dial (RDD) samples was used to represent all adults in the continental United States who have access to either a landline or cellular telephone. Both samples were provided by Survey Sampling International, LLC (SSI) according to PSRAI specifications. Numbers for the landline sample were selected with probabilities in proportion to their share of listed telephone households from active blocks (area code + exchange + two-digit block number) that contained three or more residential directory listings. The cellular sample was not list-assisted, but was drawn through a systematic sampling from dedicated wireless 100-blocks and shared service 100-blocks with no directory-listed landline numbers.
New sample was released daily and was kept in the field for at least five days. The sample was released in replicates, which are representative subsamples of the larger population. This ensures that complete call procedures were followed for the entire sample. At least 7 attempts were made to complete an interview at a sampled telephone number. The calls were staggered over times of day and days of the week to maximize the chances of making contact with a potential respondent. Each number received at least one daytime call in an attempt to find someone available. For the landline sample, interviewers asked to speak with the youngest adult male or female currently at home based on a random rotation. If no male/female was available, interviewers asked to speak with the youngest adult of the other gender. For the cellular sample, interviews were conducted with the person who answered the phone. Interviewers verified that the person was an adult and in a safe place before administering the survey. Cellular sample respondents were offered a post-paid cash incentive for their participation. All interviews completed on any given day were considered to be the final sample for that day.
Weighting is generally used in survey analysis to compensate for sample designs and patterns of non-response that might bias results. A two-stage weighting procedure was used to weight this dual-frame sample. The first-stage weight is the product of two adjustments made to the data – a Probability of Selection Adjustment (PSA) and a Phone Use Adjustment (PUA). The PSA corrects for the fact that respondents in the landline sample have different probabilities of being sampled depending on how many adults live in the household. The PUA corrects for the overlapping landline and cellular sample frames.
The second stage of weighting balances sample demographics to population parameters. The sample is balanced by form to match national population parameters for sex, age, education, race, Hispanic origin, region (U.S. Census definitions), population density, and telephone usage. The White, non-Hispanic subgroup is also balanced on age, education and region. The basic weighting parameters came from a special analysis of the Census Bureau's 2010 Annual Social and Economic Supplement (ASEC) that included all households in the continental United States. The population density parameter was derived from Census 2000 data. The cell phone usage parameter came from an analysis of the January-June 2010 National Health Interview Survey.3
Following is the full disposition of all sampled telephone numbers:
The disposition reports all of the sampled telephone numbers ever dialed from the original telephone number samples. The response rate estimates the fraction of all eligible respondents in the sample that were ultimately interviewed. At PSRAI it is calculated by taking the product of three component rates:
- Contact rate – the proportion of working numbers where a request for interview was made
- Cooperation rate – the proportion of contacted numbers where a consent for interview was at least initially obtained, versus those refused
- Completion rate – the proportion of initially cooperating and eligible interviews that were completed
Thus the response rate for the landline sample was 13.6 percent. The response rate for the cellular sample was 11.5 percent.

Depending on what we focus on, our brains can be completely blind to obvious changes going on around us. This is called "change blindness," and it is unnerving when you observe it. Below are a few examples of this in action.
This first video is an experiment conducted at Harvard where 75% of the people in the test don't notice that the man in front of them has turned into a different person. This was conducted in a formal test setting. The people involved were interviewed after the experiment to better understand their perception of events.
This next video shows change blindness being used as more of a parlor trick. Magician Derren Brown exploits this blind spot in a much more dramatic way. Changing clothes, race, and gender doesn't seem to matter to these people on the street. This demonstration isn't as controlled, but is a lot of fun to watch.
The last video is an "Awareness Test" that has been around for a while. You can run this test on yourself and on others.
The concept of change blindness highlights a potential problem for UX professionals. Most of the time, user researchers and UX architects begin their research with specific goals in mind, and are focused on a specific aspect of the product. But with this focus comes the risk that they will be blind to other aspects of the user's experience. What are we failing to capture when observing people using the products we design? We need to reserve space in our work for uncovering those things that we don't know we don't know, and make it an official part of the process. We will observe more of the moonwalking bears that teach us valuable lessons about our users and our products.

VATICAN CITY –– Here is the Vatican's English translation of Pope Benedict XVI's resignation remarks, delivered in Latin (in the video below), during an ordinary public consistory to approve the canonization of new saints Feb. 11.
Dear brothers,
I have convoked you to this consistory, not only for the three canonizations, but also to communicate to you a decision of great importance for the life of the church. After having repeatedly examined my conscience before God, I have come to the certainty that my strengths, due to an advanced age, are no longer suited to an adequate exercise of the Petrine ministry. I am well aware that this ministry, due to its essential spiritual nature, must be carried out not only with words and deeds, but no less with prayer and suffering. However, in today's world, subject to so many rapid changes and shaken by questions of deep relevance for the life of faith, in order to govern the bark of Saint Peter and proclaim the Gospel, both strength of mind and body are necessary, strength which in the last few months, has deteriorated in me to the extent that I have had to recognize my incapacity to adequately fulfill the ministry entrusted to me. For this reason, and well aware of the seriousness of this act, with full freedom I declare that I renounce the ministry of bishop of Rome, successor of Saint Peter, entrusted to me by the cardinals on 19 April 2005, in such a way, that as from 28 February 2013, at 20:00 hours, the See of Rome, the See of Saint Peter, will be vacant and a conclave to elect the new supreme pontiff will have to be convoked by those whose competence it is.
Dear brothers, I thank you most sincerely for all the love and work with which you have supported me in my ministry and I ask pardon for all my defects. And now, let us entrust the holy church to the care of our supreme pastor, Our Lord Jesus Christ, and implore his holy Mother Mary, so that she may assist the cardinal fathers with her maternal solicitude, in electing a new supreme pontiff. With regard to myself, I wish to also devotedly serve the holy church of God in the future through a life dedicated to prayer.
From the Vatican,
Feb. 11, 2013
Pope Benedict XVI

If you find yourself experiencing blurred or distorted vision that seems to get worse year after year, you may suffer from an irregularity of the cornea known as keratoconus. This condition is infamous for causing astigmatism and nearsightedness that can progress rapidly, calling for constant updates to your corrective lens prescription. Fortunately, several treatment options are available to help you cope with keratoconus.
Causes and Symptoms
While medical science has no clear explanation for the cause of keratoconus, the condition occurs more frequently in people who rub their eyes a lot, have worn contacts habitually for many years, or have certain genetic disorders such as Down syndrome. Pregnant women are also known to develop keratoconus, which might indicate that endocrine system imbalances are involved. The condition occurs when corneal tissue grows unusually weak or thin. This allows it to lose its perfectly spherical shape and take on more a cone-like outward bulge. A cornea deformed in this manner cannot refract incoming light in a way that creates an accurate image for the retina.
Keratoconus usually appears between late childhood and the mid-20s, at which point it may progress for many years. The progression is characteristically dramatic, with sufferers having to get new lens prescriptions practically every time they see their eye care provider. Blurred vision is the obvious primary symptom, but in some cases eyesight can also become hazy or cloudy if a rupture at the rear of the cornea occurs. Patients also find that their eyes grow increasingly sensitive to bright light.
Diagnosis and Treatment
The vision problems caused by mild to moderate keratoconus can usually be corrected through such conventional methods as eyeglasses and soft contacts. More stubborn cases may require gas-permeable rigid contacts, scleral lenses, or custom-made silicon hydrogel soft contacts. Some sufferers even "piggyback" a gas permeable lens on top of a hydrogel lens to achieve an optimal balance between vision accuracy and comfort.
Traditional laser surgeries such as LASIK are not usually recommended for keratoconus patients, but other types of structural correction may provide the desired vision correction. Intacs, tiny corneal inserts implanted just below the corneal surface to flatten out the cone-like curve, can be inserted in a minimally invasive surgery. Even the most extreme cases can be treated with a corneal transplant. However mild or severe your keratoconus, your eye care professional can help you understand your treatment options and devise an effective treatment plan.

Asthma Treatment in Fort Myers Beach, FL
Asthma is a lifelong disease of the airways that affects approximately 25 million Americans, including 7 million children. During an asthma attack, the airways (bronchial tubes) swell, close up, and produce excess mucus, making it difficult to breathe. Asthma attacks occur in response to certain triggers such as physical factors like exercise or allergens like pollen.
Since asthma severity can change over time, it is important to detect and treat the condition early on. To schedule a consultation with a asthma specialist in Fort Myers Beach, call (239) 425-2900 or contact Dr. Doreen DeStefano online.
Causes and Symptoms of Asthma
It is unknown what exactly causes the development of asthma, but most experts believe that it is a combination of multiple genetic and environmental factors. Risk factors that may make an individual more susceptible to developing asthma include:
- Family history of asthma
- Childhood respiratory infections
- Certain allergies, including hay fever
- Being overweight
Childhood exposure to potential triggers may also play a role in the development of asthma; these triggers can include:
- Dust mites
- Pollen
- Mold
- Tobacco smoke
- Air pollution
- Pet dander
Asthma Triggers
There are many potential asthma triggers, and each asthma patient may have a different set of triggers.
Common triggers include:
- Dust
- Tobacco smoke
- Air pollution
- Allergens (dust mites, pollen, pet dander, mold)
- Infections (colds, flu, sinus infections)
- Exercise, especially in children
- Cold air or humidity
- Strong chemical odors such as phenol
- Strong emotions (anxiety, crying, or laughing)
- Medication such as aspirin, ibuprofen, or beta blockers
- Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
There exist several types of asthma, categorized by their triggers. The types of asthma are:
- Allergic asthma, which involves asthma symptoms associated with allergies and triggered by allergens
- Non-allergic asthma, which is caused by viral infections and irritants like tobacco smoke and strong odors
- Exercise-induced bronchoconstriction, in which physical exertion causes the airways to narrow
- Occupational asthma, in which work-related irritants like dust and chemicals cause symptoms
- Cough variant asthma, in which a cough is the only asthma symptom
- Medication-induced asthma, which is caused or worsened by drugs like aspirin and NSAIDs
- Nocturnal asthma, in which symptoms are worst or only present at night
- Glucocorticoid-resistant asthma, which do not respond to anti-inflammatory glucocorticoid medications
Symptoms of an Asthma Attack
The most common symptom of an asthma attack is wheezing; other symptoms may include:
- Shortness of breath
- Chest tightness or pain
- Coughing, often especially severe at night or early in the morning
As severe asthma symptoms can constitute a medical emergency, it is important to treat symptoms when they first become apparent. You should seek emergency care if your peak expiratory flow--the maximum speed at which you can exhale--is below 80% of your personal best peak flow for over half an hour, or if you have had to use your rescue inhaler more than your healthcare provider recommends.
Diagnosing Asthma in Fort Myers Beach
To diagnose asthma, a healthcare provider will first take a medical history and perform a physical exam. They may then perform any number of tests to check on the condition of the lungs, including:
- Chest X-ray
- Pulmonary function test to measure lung function; this is the best way to determine if someone has asthma
- Peak expiratory flow test to measure the maximum speed at which a patient can exhale
- Methacholine challenge test to see if the airways are sensitive to an irritant called methacholine
- Provocative tests for exercise and cold-induced asthma
- Sputum eosinophils test to check for white blood cells called eosinophils in the saliva and mucus; higher eosinophil count is associated with more severe asthma
- Nitric oxide test to check for increased levels of nitric oxide caused by inflammation
- Allergy tests, blood tests, sinus X-rays, or throat pH tests to see if other conditions are worsening asthma symptoms
An asthma doctor in Fort Myers Beach may also give a patient asthma medicine for a trial period and perform tests afterward to see if lung condition has improved.
Asthma Treatment
There are many different ways to treat asthma; many healthcare providers and asthma centers help patients develop an asthma action plan that focuses on identifying triggers and learning how to avoid them, as well as determining if you need medication and outlining how and when to use it. Your action plan should also include when to seek emergency care.
Avoiding Triggers
Methods that you can use to avoid your potential triggers may include:
- Wearing protective gear in cold weather
- Using an air conditioner or humidifier
- Washing curtains or blinds
- Replacing carpeting with hardwood or linoleum flooring
- Using dustcovers on pillows and mattresses
- Treating gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
- Avoiding pets with fur or feathers; if you have these kinds of pets, regularly bathe/groom them
- Cleaning the living space frequently to prevent mol
Asthma Medications
Medications that treat asthma are often designed to open the airways, making breathing easier. There are two main types of asthma medication: anti-inflammatories and bronchodilators. Anti-inflammatory drugs reduce swelling and mucus production in the airways, and are most commonly used for long-term asthma control but can also be used to stop an asthma attack. Bronchodilators relax and open the airways, and are used for most rescue inhalers but may also be used for long-term asthma management.
Long-term asthma control medications reduce the likelihood of an asthma attack occurring. Generally taken daily, these medications can include:
- Oral theophylline
- Inhaled corticosteroids
- Oral leukotriene modifiers
- Inhaled, long-acting beta agonists
- Long-acting beta agonist and corticosteroid combination inhalers
Quick-relief (rescue) medications are used for rapid, short-term symptom relief during an asthma attack. These can include:
- Ipratropium
- Short-acting, inhaled beta agonists
- Oral and intravenous corticosteroids
If allergens are a strong trigger, allergy medications may be able to provide relief from symptoms.
Other Treatments
In extreme cases, bronchial thermoplasty may be able to reduce asthma attacks. Done over the course of three sessions, this procedure heats the inside of the airways with an electrode to prevent them from being able to tighten.
Certain alternative treatments that may be able to supplement asthma medication include:
- Breathing exercises
- Black seed (Nigella sativa)
- Caffeine
- Choline
- Pycnogenol (pine bark extract)
Talk with a healthcare provider to determine which kind of asthma treatment is best for you.
