Explain how connections are managed with Service Applications.
Explain about security of the Ajax based web applications?
The XMLHttpRequest object is subjected to the browsers security sandbox. Any resources requested by the XMLHttpRequest object must reside within the same domain from which the calling script originated from which the calling script requested. XMLHttpRequest cannot request services due to security restriction, outside the domain from which the script was originally served.
Can you explain the role of each service?
SQL SERVER - is for running the databases SQL AGENT - is for automation such as Jobs, DB Maintanance, Backups DTC - Is for linking and connecting to other SQL Servers
What are the advantages of Service Applications over SSP ?
The key limitation of the SSP architecture was that it was configured by using a set of services, and all Web applications associated with the SSP bore the overhead of all the services even if they weren't being used. To change the service configuration for a particular Web application, a new SSP would have to be created.
The service application architecture on the other hand, allows a set of services to be associated with a given Web application and a different set of services to be associated with another Web application. Also, the same service application can be configured differently in different Web applications; therefore, Web sites can be configured to use only the services that are needed, rather than the entire bank of services.

Explain how managed code slower than unmanaged code?
Managed code not always is slower than unmanaged code. In managed code, the CLR does some optimization for the way loops, subroutines should run and what is the best way to execute it.
What is the managed and unmanaged code in .net?
The .NET Framework provides a run-time environment called the Common Language Runtime, which manages the execution of code and provides services that make the development process easier. Compilers and tools expose the runtime's functionality and enable you to write code that benefits from this managed execution environment. Code that you develop with a language compiler that targets the runtime is called managed code; it benefits from features such as cross-language integration, cross-language exception handling, enhanced security, versioning and deployment support, a simplified model for component interaction, and debugging and profiling services.
What is managed code and managed data?
Managed code is code that is written to target the services of the Common Language Runtime (see What is the Common Language Runtime?). In order to target these services, the code must provide a minimum level of information (metadata) to the runtime. All C#, Visual Basic.NET, and _JScript.NET code is managed by default. Visual Studio.NET C++ code is not managed by default, but the compiler can produce managed code by specifying a command-line switch (/CLR).
Closely related to managed code is managed data-data that is allocated and de-allocated by the Common Language Runtime's garbage collector. C#, Visual Basic, and _JScript.NET data is managed by default. C# data can, however, be marked as unmanaged through the use of special keywords. Visual Studio.NET C++ data is unmanaged by default (even when using the /CLR switch), but when using Managed Extensions for C++, a class can be marked as managed by using the __gc keyword. As the name suggests, this means that the memory for instances of the class is managed by the garbage collector. In addition, the class becomes a full participating member of the .NET Framework community, with the benefits and restrictions that brings. An example of a benefit is proper interoperability with classes written in other languages (for example, a managed C++ class can inherit from a Visual Basic class). An example of a restriction is that a managed class can only inherit from one base class.
What options are available to deploy my .NET applications?
The .NET Framework simplifies deployment by making zero-impact install and XCOPY deployment of applications feasible. Because all requests are resolved first to the private application directory, simply copying an application's directory files to disk is all that is needed to run the application. No registration is required.
This scenario is particularly compelling for Web applications, Web Services, and self-contained desktop applications. However, there are scenarios where XCOPY is not sufficient as a distribution mechanism. An example is when the application has little private code and relies on the availability of shared assemblies, or when the application is not locally installed (but rather downloaded on demand). For these cases, the .NET Framework provides extensive code download services and integration with the Windows Installer. The code download support provided by the .NET Framework offers several advantages over current platforms, including incremental download, code access security (no more Authenticode dialogs), and application isolation (code downloaded on behalf of one application doesn't affect other applications). The Windows Installer is another powerful deployment mechanism available to .NET applications. All of the features of Windows Installer, including publishing, advertisement, and application repair will be available to .NET applications in Windows Installer 1.5.

Explain the concept of Reentrancy?
It is a useful, memory-saving technique for multiprogrammed timesharing systems. A Reentrant Procedure is one in which multiple users can share a single copy of a program during the same period. Reentrancy has 2 key aspects: The program code cannot modify itself, and the local data for each user process must be stored separately. Thus, the permanent part is the code, and the temporary part is the pointer back to the calling program and local variables used by that program. Each execution instance is called activation. It executes the code in the permanent part, but has its own copy of local variables/parameters. The temporary part associated with each activation is the activation record. Generally, the activation record is kept on the stack.
Note: A reentrant procedure can be interrupted and called by an interrupting program, and still execute correctly on returning to the procedure.
Explain Belady's Anomaly?
Also called FIFO anomaly. Usually, on increasing the number of frames allocated to a process' virtual memory, the process execution is faster, because fewer page faults occur. Sometimes, the reverse happens, i.e., the execution time increases even when more frames are allocated to the process. This is Belady's Anomaly. This is true for certain page reference patterns.
Explain manifest & metadata.
Manifest is metadata about assemblies. Metadata is machine-readable information about a resource, or ""data about data." In .NET, metadata includes type definitions, version information, external assembly references, and other standardized information.
Explain the life cycle of an ASP .NET page.
Life cycle of ASP.Net Web Form
Page Request >> Start >> Page Init >> Page Load >> Validation >>
PostBack Event Handling >> Page Rendering >> Page Unload
Page Request - When the page is requested ASP.Net determines
whether the page is to be parsed and compiled or a cached verion
of the page is to be sent without running the page.
Start - Page propertied REQUEST and RESPONSE are SET, if the
page is pastback request then the IsPostBack property is SET and
in addition to this UICulture property is also SET.
Page Initilization - In this the UniqueID of each property is SET.
If the request was postback the data is not yet loaded from the
Page Load - If it was a postback request then the data gets loaded
in the control from the ViewState and control property are set.
Validation - If any control validation present, they are performed
and IsValid property is SET for each control.
PostBack Event Handling - If it was a postback request then any
event handlers are called.
Page Rendering - Before this the viewstate is saved from the page
and RENDER method of each page is called.
Page Unload - Page is fully rendered and sent to the client(Browser)
and is discarded. Page property RESPONSE and REQUEST are unloaded.
Explain manifest & metadata?
Manifest is metadata about assemblies. Metadata is machine-readable information about a resource, or ""data about data." In .NET, metadata includes type definitions, version information, external assembly references, and other standardized information.
Manifest: Manifest describes assembly itself. Assembly Name, version number, culture, strong name, list of all files, Type references, and referenced assemblies.
Metadata: Metadata describes contents in an assembly classes, interfaces, enums, structs, etc., and their containing namespaces, the name of each type, its visibility/scope, its base class, the nterfaces it implemented, its methods and their scope, and each method's parameters, type's properties, and so on.

Ta Prohm is perhaps most famous for a movie I've never seen. It was featured in the original Tomb Raider film and is best known not for its history, but for the fact that centuries of neglect led to trees growing throughout the temple as the jungle retook the land.
The above face is either a king or a buddha, revealed only after a tree grew in around the rest of the statue. There is a more famous version of this in an ancient city in Thailand.

Billboard Awards: Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus Take Sheer and Short Fashion Risks
Both singers used their clothing to project a more sophisticated (and racier) image than usual -- but is it too much, too soon?
Singers Taylor Swift, 22, and Miley Cyrus, 19, definitely chose outfits for Sunday's 2012 Billboard Awards that showed everyone that they're both growing up fast. Very fast. And maybe too fast.
Swift wore an uncharacteristically vampy red dress designed by Paris-based couturier Elie Saab. The sheer lace bodice didn't cause any visible wardrobe malfunction but that didn't stop everyone from staring at the provocative gown when she accepted her Billboard Woman of the Year Award.
Cyrus, who has been under fire of late for her drastic weight loss, was the real shocker of the night wearing a low-cut Jean Paul Gaultier white blazer with no top underneath and no pants.
There may have been a pair of short shorts under there but we can't make them out. Can you? With her Ye-Ye Girls bouffant blonder hair, Jacquie Aiche jewelry and black and white Christian Louboutin peep toe pumps, she certainly looked far older than her years.

Almost a year ago we responded to the immediate needs following Hurricane Isaac and are now deep into disaster case management doing what Catholic Charities does best—helping families struggling to rebuild their lives. We've recently finished converting the TV studio at the Leah Building into warehouse space to stock pile disaster response supplies ready for when—not if—we are struck again. Several times this past year, our staff also responded to help our sister agencies impacted by Hurricane Sandy with the CCUSA Disaster Case Management Contract and to assist the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City following the tornadoes.
May 28, 2013--David Aguillard, Executive Director of Catholic Charities Diocese of Baton Rouge (CCDBR), announced that tomorrow staffer Carol Spruell will be deployed to assist Catholic Charities of Oklahoma Disaster Response after the May 20 tornadoes.
"Our staff is in high demand when the subject of disaster response and relief is on the table," said Aguillard. "This diocese has more experience in disasters of this magnitude as any other in the country."
Baton Rouge--Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Baton Rouge will be able to help up to 400 additional families in south central Louisiana rebuild their homes and lives disrupted by the floodwaters of Hurricane Isaac.
The agency was selected as the Hurricane Isaac disaster case management provider for area residents through a contract administered by Catholic Charities Archdiocese of New Orleans (CCANO) and The Louisiana Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS), and funded by FEMA.
Prevent Child Abuse Louisiana honors CCDBR Social Worker
Catholic Charities Barbara Thompson, LCSW, (CCDBR) received The Champion for Children Award from Prevent Child Abuse Louisiana (PCAL) at its "Kids Are Worth It!"® Conference Luncheon on May 9, 2013 at the West Baton Rouge Conference Center. This award is the highest honor PCAL bestows upon individuals or organizations that have made a difference in the lives of children.
Currently, Barbara is Catholic Charities Coordinator of Safe Families for Children, a nationwide faith-based partnership that focuses on child well-being, rather than child protection, by strengthening and empowering families in crisis.

Khrooty4Daily - Interest? Potential Difficulties?
From my last blog:
"Anyway, that's all for now - I hope to blog about some non-KDE4Daily-related stuff in the near future :)"
Well, it looks like I suck, but hopefully soon I'll be able to blog about some of the (small amount of) upstream work I've been doing on trying to bring back some of the file management features to Konqueror that went missing during the port to KDE3 to KDE4, and hopefully, eventually, improve on them. Konqui fans - look out for a Konqui4 File Management - State of the Union that I'll be putting together with ppenz within the next month or so!
As for this blog: I've noticed, on IRC and the forums, that many people seem to be having problems getting a KDE development environment set up. Since KDE4Daily releases track the most recent Kubuntu release, and I couldn't be bothered to update my 8.04 Desktop and Laptop to 8.10, this time around KDE4Daily was entirely developed and tested within a self-contained chroot nicknamed, appropriately enough, Khrooty4Daily. It could of course have been performed within a VM, but chroots have a few advantages (and disadvantages) compare to VMs that make it more appropriate for development, IMO: not least, the comparative ease of transferring files to and from the host machine; sharing the hosts RAM; and of course running at native speed which is much more pleasant for compiling and debugging.
Khrooty4Daily offers an easy way to check out and compile KDE sources: all of the cmake stuff is there, the .bashrc macros are present and correct, there's a full and up-to-date KDE install ready to be run, tested and hacked on, and there is a very rich set of package dependencies provided which will allow you to compile pretty much anything from SVN with as many of the optional features as I could satisfy the requirements for. So I was toying with the idea of cleaning and tarring it up and providing it to the community, but since it's going to be a very large blob (probably someone between 1-1.5GB compressed as a rough estimate) that will take me ages to prepare and upload, I thought I'd scope out the level of interest for such a beast. Who thinks they would find this useful? It's not quite as completely insulated and self-contained as a VM, but it still provides a nice way of getting things running on your machine that you can just untar when you begin and rm -rf when you're done.
And also, I appeal to LazyWeb: what are the potential difficulties in providing a chroot environment? Will it work with all x86 distros? Since the root password for all Khrooty4Daily installs is the same and we are going to be mounting /dev/, /sys/ etc onto it, are there any security issues that people need to be aware of? Descriptions of any hitches at all that people have run into with using chroots would be much appreciated as I've only been able to test it in a Kubuntu 8.04 host so far!

I for one would find it very useful.
Great idea.

"are there any security issues that people need to be aware of?"
In my limited understanding, the "security issue" with chroot is when people start wrongly believing that from inside chroot you can't do bad things to the host environment, i.e. believing that chroot is a 'jail'.
There you have a very old e-mail:
"Just as an example, with the current chroot() behaviour we can do stuff
like this:
- install a new test-gcc in a chroot environment
- compile programs _outside_ the chroot-environment with
change_root /gcc /usr/bin/gcc file.c -o file.o
Then for what you are considering doing, the chroot is done on the user's local machine, to which they already have physical access, contrary to your former KDE4Daily solution; so I can't see any security issue.

Parents applaud dedicated teachers
Windhoek Many parents have expressed gratitude towards teachers for having shown great dedication and commitment, which resulted in thousands of Grade 10 learners qualifying for Grade 11 this year. Although many Namibians were pessimistic that learners - especially Grade 10 and 12s - would not make it due to last year's national teachers' strike, which saw examinations disrupted and abruptly cancelled, but the teachers and learners proved them wrong. Out of 38 240 candidates who wrote their Grade 10 examinations in 2016, 21 291 qualified for admission to Grade 11 this year, representing 55.7 percent of the learners who qualified for Grade 11. Martha Shekunyenga said she got a shock of her life when she saw her son's Grade 10 result. He scored a whopping 40 points at Negumbo Senior Secondary School. She said she did not expect her son to perform so well in the wake of the teachers' strike during the Grade 10 and 12 national exams. She applauded the teachers for their hard work and dedication albeit during difficult times, such as the protracted negotiations for an 8 percent increment, which eventually resulted in government agreeing to a 5 percent increase. Parent Simon Shikongo also expressed gratitude towards teachers for their hard work, as his child passed with 35 points in Grade 10 and encouraged teachers to continue working hard to ensure learners excel and become productive citizens of the country. Minister of Education, Arts and Culture Katrina Hanse-Himarwa on December 20 announced the 2016 national results of Grade 10 and grade Namibia Senior Secondary Certificate (NSSC) higher level. Last year, about 38 240 full-time Grade 10 candidates sat for their national examinations. The minister announced that learners performed very well in Life Science for Grade 10 and Mathematics higher level for Grade 12, which were postponed due to the industrial dispute between teachers and government. She said the number of candidates qualifying for admission to Grade 11 this year might increase to approximately 24 291, as part-time learners add subjects over a couple of years and normally meet the admission requirement to Grade 11 only after a number of years. On average, since 1993, the percentage of learners qualifying for admission has increased steadily from 37.2 percent to 55.7 percent this year. The minister also revealed that the 2016 Grade 10 results show a improved performance among candidates at higher grades A to E and poorer performance at the lower grades F and G. 'This is a clear indication that the 2016 results are much better, as most candidates were able to obtain higher grades when compared to the 2015 results. The good performance of the 2016 candidates is also supported by a decrease of the ungraded entries from 2.9 percent in 2015 to 2.4 percent in 2016. "In summary the 2016 Grade 10 results are much better in terms of performance when compared to the 2015 results," the minister alluded. The Grade 12 exams are taken at two levels: NSC higher and ordinary level. The finalisation of the NSSC ordinary results (full-time and part-time) will be released on January 13. The ministry announced that in 2016, a total of 14 743 of the 65 863 Grade 12 learners (full-time and part-time combined) took one or more NSSC higher level subjects. Compared to the 2015 results, the 2016 results show that the percentage of candidates obtaining grades 2,3 and 4 has risen compared to 2015, although the learners obtaining grade 1 decreased by -0.1 percent. "It should also be noted that the graded entries did increase from 95.3 percent in 2015 to 95.5 percent in 2016, which is supported by a decrease in the ungraded entries from 4.7 percent in 2015 to 4.5 percent in 2016," Minister Hanse-Himarwa noted.

Prius beats up a G Wagon - Ouch!

Re: Prius beats up a G Wagon - Ouch!
No ncap stars for a G-Wagen but it looks like it rolled rather than had a head on collision. A Prius with its batteries has a low center of gravity, as we all know a G-Wagen is a high vehicle and looked as if in this instance it had been made higher again but it will raise roll over concerns again
Thu, 13/07/2017 - 21:20#2
Re: Prius beats up a G Wagon - Ouch!
In the video you can see one of those cast iron waste bins next to the bus stop rolling away after being knocked over. Most likely hit the Prius then onto the bin which combined to tip it over. If the collision was at anything other than straight on the G could have started to climb over the car and be helped on its way by the bin. Equally let's face it G wagons are tall, narrow and have a relatively high centre of gravity to aid ground clearance compared to most road going cars..

Re: Prius beats up a G Wagon - Ouch!
A banker, most likely, with too much money, who don't understand COG,or how the charactiistics of such a car are, kerbed it, hit bus stop, and his pride. I was expecting a Middle eastern gentlemen to emerge from the windscreen, but alas, seems not.

I saw it set over Griffith Park Observatory in Los Angeles, CA, from my house balcony, which has a perfect view of the observatory. I put all of my camera gear together that night for the purpose of photographing the moon the following night as it again set over the riffith Park Observatory. the following night, May 7, 2011. After taking a series of pictures on May 7, I sent what I thought to be the best photo to my friend and astrophotographer, Alex McConahay to edit it.

There are many paths to the podium. In days of yore, it was to come up through the ranks of the opera house, from répétiteur to maestro. Nowadays, it is a doctorate degree from some prestigious university combined with the de rigueur stopover at Tanglewood. Not so for Marco Zambelli, who has impressed in his Dallas Opera debut, marshalling Gounod's Romeo and Juliet to their tragic end. He started out as a concert organist.
Tall, lean and with a George Clooney-esque shock of premature gray hair—and leading man features to boot—he looks more like a tennis pro than the usual rumpled opera conductor. In a recent interview, at an outdoor table at Starbucks, he shared his thoughts on music and conducting with TheaterJones.
TJ: So how did you go from concert organist to conductor?
MZ: It all started with an offer to conduct a choir. First it was a boy chorus and then the opera chorus in Lyon. One thing just led to another.
TJ: But you had quite a career going as an organist.
MZ: That's true; I won Second Prize at the Kaltern International Organ Competition in 1986. It wasn't so shocking a change since organists are always conductors of choral music.
TJ: So you never really studied conducting?
MZ: No, I didn't, and I think that might be an advantage. After all, the gesture is an extension of a conductor's personality and how they conceptualize the music, not something learned and practiced in a mirror. I learned on the job, so to speak. I was tossed right into conducting choral performances and I had to learn quickly what worked and what didn't.
TJ: Is it that choral background that gives you such a good feel for vocal music?
MZ: My first professional assignments were concerts of sacred music with the orchestra and choir of the opera in Lyon. I have always had a great love of singing and vocal music. But opera has the added element of the theater. It has to be great drama, not just great music.
TJ: Your career has stuck to the more traditional pieces. What about more contemporary music?
MZ: I am not as much in sync with modern scores as I am with the more standard repertoire. However, there are lots of new operas that stay more traditional while still being fresh.
TJ: Such as Samuel Barber's Vanessa or William Bolcom's McTeague? Maybe Lee Hoiby's Summer and Smoke?
MZ: Good examples. But who knows where my career will lead, I am open to new scores as long as I can understand them by the time the curtain goes up.
TJ: Do you coach the singers from the piano or do you have a rehearsal pianist so you can conduct?
MZ: I coach from the piano. You can be more open with the singers when there isn't a third person in the room while you are working. A witness, so to speak. (laughs)
TJ: And do you learn a score at the piano? Or sit in silence somewhere quiet with it open on your lap?
MZ: When I start with the score, I play it through so many times that I hardly need the music. I prefer to touch the music rather than to hear the score in my head. That is fine on an airplane going somewhere but I much prefer to study at the piano. Music starts as a concept for a sound before it becomes a dot on the paper. Of course, I never play for musical rehearsals with the cast. There, I always conduct.
TJ: How much freedom do you give the singers, or yourself for that matter, at performances?
MZ: Every night has to seem like an improvisation yet still be consistent with how we rehearsed the piece. Actors always say that the audience must think you are performing the role for the first time, even at the end of a long run. It is the same with an opera.
TJ: So what is next for you?
MZ: A Carmen in Spain. Then a Macbeth [Verdi]. And then an Aida. But I have really enjoyed my time in Dallas and am proud of the Romeo and Juliet production.
Monday, January 28 at 9:09PM
Marco Zambelli has raw and intuitive talent. As a conductor his presence inspires. Looking forward to witnessing the Maestro in action.

Science says it took humans 2 mil. years to go from monkey to modern. That's an eye blink. Even if intelligence only developed in the most recent 1% of time, that gives a head start of hundreds of millions of years on humans. If humanity is continuous for just another 10,000 years, then wow to that possibility.
The question is not whether intelligent life can develop, but whether it can survive...
All of the science really only considers water based life and that's probably a major flaw.

Ethiopia has been experiencing one of the worst protracted droughts in decades. Extended dry periods followed by late and sporadic rains have caused drought and intermittent flooding since 2015, when El Niño-driven weather led to the failure of the main kiremt rainy season from June to September, on the heels of two previous poor rain seasons. Kiremt rains are vital for the meher harvest which produces over 80 per cent of Ethiopia's agricultural yield – in an industry that employs 85 per cent of the country's workforce.
Failed rains in pastoral areas from late September to December 2016 due to the negative Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD), a weather phenomenon, caused drought yet again across lowland areas in the Horn of Africa. While the 2016 kiremt rains were successful and thus normal harvests are expected throughout northern and western parts of the country, livestock deaths and water shortages are emerging from the primarily pastoral areas in southern and south eastern Ethiopia. While late spring rains have reached most areas, effects from drought and flooding continue to cause disease outbreaks and food and nutrition insecurity throughout the country.

Lana C Story
I really believe that God was always beside me keeping me safe. When I was five years old, my dad died in a motorcycle accident. How could God put me through this? How was this God's plan for my life? Then when I was six, my mom remarried, and now, I had a step-dad. I was confused and thought how could my life get any crazier.
I struggled living a life trying to escape the hurt, so I started going to Celebrate Recovery at The Bayou. My perspective on life is changing and my hurts have gotten much better. I started realizing that God has always been there to pick me up when I make mistakes. God has and is changing me in so many ways.

Fiat exercises call option to buy another 3.3% stake in Chrysler
Fiat recently increased its stake in Chrysler Group LLC from 58.5% to 61.8% making it more possible to do a full merger. Fiat has been hinting on doing a full takeover of Chrysler and expanding its business in the US. Basing on Chrysler's bankruptcy agreement, Fiat has the option to buy an additional 3.3% of share from Chrysler starting this July.
The 3.3% will be coming from the United Auto Workers' retiree health-care trust or VEBA. Fiat has the option to purchase up to 3.3 percent of Chrysler from VEBA every six months until the year 2016. This will reduce Chrysler's share from 41.5% to 38.2%.
Fiat is expected to get the funds from a total of 500 million Euros that it has cut back on investments in Turin by delaying introduction of new models.
"Fiat has the cash resources to carry out the completion of the acquisition of Chrysler," Sergio Marchionne told reporters at a Fiat car launch in this northwestern Italian city. "We can do this at anytime. I don't think the conditions are there for us to do it now."

Autoglym Extra Gloss Protection
by Neil, 23 Feb 2010
When I first noticed this I thought, "a polish to polish the polish, nah, sales gimmick". But curiosity got the better of me and I added it to my ever growing collection of everything Autoglym. I washed the car, dried it off, applied another coat of super resin polish, then this Extra Gloss Protection. The result was very surprising to be honest, the shine appeared deeper and when it rained the day after (aint that just typical!) the road dirt didn't seem to make the car look like it hadn't seen a wash for weeks, all the surfaces seem to stay cleaner for longer and if it rained after a drive the dirt seems to get washed away, happy days! You still have to wash you vehicle but this stuff does what it says on the bottle helping it look cleaner for longer, money well spent.

Vulvovaginitis - an inflammatory disease of bipartite including vulvitis and vaginitis.Inflammation affecting the external genitals, called vulvitis.When inflammation of the affected area of the vagina, it is called vaginitis.The greatest number of cases occur in vulvovaginitis in girls and older women are not inferior to them on the prevalence and vulvovaginitis in children.
Depending on the nature of the pathogen isolated specific and nonspecific vulvovaginitis.The nature of inflammation determines the pathogen.The specific cause inflammation of chlamydia, gonorrhea, mycoplasma, trichomonas, ureaplasma, Candida fungi or viruses.When specific inflammation clinic expressed most clearly, the process takes place in an acute form.
nonspecific vulvovaginitis developed with the participation of staphylococcus, streptococcus, E. coli and Pseudomonas.In most cases, when vulvovaginal inflammation occur, with the participation of mixed flora.
Chronic vulvovaginal is characterized
fundamental factor in the development of inflammation in the vulvovaginal is a violation of the composition of the microflora of the mucous membranes.The vaginal environment is a specific set of microbial associations having a constant number of members.Persistence of vaginal environment, together with the immune system provides a protective function of the mucous membranes of the lower genital tract and prevents the uncontrolled proliferation of opportunistic and pathogenic microorganisms.
vaginal environment is composed of predominantly rod-shaped (Lactobacillus, Corynebacterium) and coccal flora (anaerobes, streptococci, enterococci).Small amounts are found Klebsiella, E. coli, Candida and other fungi.Lactobacilli are involved in maintaining a constant pH (acidity) of the vagina, normally it is 3.8 - 4, 5. The presence of pathogens in the vagina does not indicate the disease.
ratio of microorganisms in the composition of the vaginal flora should be constant.If the proportion of lactobacilli decreases acidity changes and unwanted microflora begins to multiply uncontrollably, causing inflammation.In some cases, the immune system can deal with itself starts changing, and vulvovaginal regresses.On pathological process should speak only if develops marked inflammation and symptoms of the disease.
Qualitative and quantitative changes in the microflora of the vagina can have a variety of causes and conditions that must be considered when selecting therapies.
If the inflammatory process involved representatives of specific flora (such as trichomonas), a woman with a source of vulvovaginal infection of the sexual partner.
Vulvovaginitis is not a rare disease.In the structure of gynecological diseases, accounting for about 65%.
In most cases, diagnosis and treatment of vulvovaginal do not cause trouble.Forecast disease if adequate therapy is favorable.
reasons vulvovaginal
Inflammatory diseases of the vulva and vagina occur, as a rule, against violations microbiocenosis vagina.
During pregnancy and menopause cause vulvovaginitis are physiological changes in the composition of the vaginal microflora.Hormonal changes in the direction of the dominant effect of progestogens on the background of reduction of immunity in pregnant women leads to changes in the number of lactoflora and the pH of the vagina.Older women natural decrease of estrogen in the body leads to a thinning of the mucous membranes of the vulva and vagina, followed by qualitative and quantitative changes in the composition of the vaginal microflora.
Vulvovaginitis in children often begins with primary vulvitis.
Vulvovaginitis girls in the vast majority of bacterial origin and is caused by several reasons:
- allergic process in the body;
- pinworms;
- mechanical damage to the mucous membranes of the external genitalia;
- foreign bodies in the vagina;
- viral or infectious processes (measles, scarlet fever);
- incorrect hygienic procedures;
- diabetes;
- low immunity;
- incorrect antibiotic therapy.
bacterial vulvovaginitis in girls does not have a specific pathogen and is associated with low immunity.They suffer from weakened children.
Vulvovaginitis in children may be due to intrauterine infection during pregnancy if the woman has not passed a full examination and treatment of sexually transmitted infections.
System goiter, endocrine and hormonal disorders, allergic diseases can serve as unfavorable background of vulvovaginitis in women.
Sexually transmitted infections, candidiasis, bacterial vaginosis, vulvovaginal promote development.
Continuous hormonal contraception can contribute to changes in vaginal microflora dysbiotic.Reducing the effect of estrogen leads to a decrease in the number of lactobacilli in the vagina and change the pH, opportunistic flora begins to vegetate vigorously.By rising dysbiosis joins inflammation, and formed a picture of vulvovaginitis.
aggressive methods of personal hygiene can contribute to the development of inflammation of the vagina.While douching balanced vaginal flora may just be "washed".
Failure to use tampons can cause pathological inflammation.If a tampon into the vagina is more than 2 hours (which is prohibited by the rules of use), it provokes unfavorable flora.
inflammatory process may begin with the vulvovaginal mucous external genitalia and spread upward through the vagina.When the primary site of inflammation in the vagina, the disease process can go down below - to the external genital organs.
symptoms of vulvovaginal
Vulvovaginitis a bipartite disease, it brings together the pathological inflammation of the vulva and vagina.Consequently, vulvovaginal clinic will have all the features of both pathologies - vulvitis and vaginitis.
main symptoms of vulvovaginal are malodorous abnormal discharge (leucorrhoea) of varying intensity, color and quantity.Older women may complain of dryness in the vulva area, discomfort in the vagina.The source of the cables is a pathological vaginal mucosa.Vulva in the secretory function does not participate, but contains a large number of nerve endings.Because of the increased sensitivity of the vestibule respond to arising at the selection vaginitis, and patients worried about itching, discomfort, a burning sensation or pain.If the inflammation has spread to the urethra, there are additional complaints of frequent urination (dysuria), and discomfort in the projection of the urethra.
Fever indicates severe disease.
clinical picture of vulvovaginal largely determined by the form of the disease.Sluggish vulvovaginitis may be asymptomatic.Active patient complaints are absent during the inspection revealed signs of sluggish inflammation: redness of the mucous and a small amount of vaginal discharge.
acute vulvovaginal different bright clinical picture: pain, profuse discharge, itching, burning, dysuria.At gynecological examination the vulva and vagina visible swelling and redness expressed.
nonspecific vulvovaginitis has a distinctive feature - on the walls of the vagina are visualized pathological grayish deposits, similar to the film.When you try to delete them or if they are self-rescue in the form of mucous minor abrasions, because of vaginal discharge may be bloody.
Intense inflammation of the mucous membranes lead to the development of pronounced edema impairing introduction speculum.In such cases, a pelvic exam may be painful for the patient.
Acute vulvovaginitis in girls can sometimes occur with bleeding from the genital tract.This is due to traumatization of the mucosa of the vulva.In children, the vulva is looser and vulnerable, any infection in such conditions can penetrate deeply and quickly, damaging the mucous layer.
nature of the symptoms of vulvovaginal can be determined by one pathogen or microbial association.For example, when Candida mucous allocation similar to liquid sour cream or have a "cheesy" look, when infected with Trichomonas they are festering, and in non-specific inflammation of the appearance of vaginal discharge does not have the characteristic features and varies from liquid watery to thick "milk" or purulent.
Chronic vulvovaginal runs more quietly, the symptoms are mild.Swelling and redness of the mucous insignificant pain is not.In the foreground are the symptoms of vulvitis: discomfort, itching of the external genitals.During remission of the symptoms may disappear entirely.
Due to the variety of causes and clinical manifestations of vulvovaginal the accuracy of the diagnosis is confirmed only by laboratory methods.Laboratory diagnosis include bacterioscopic (smear microscopy) and bacteriological (culture) study of material from the cervix and vagina and urethra.
volume of laboratory tests depends on the survey data and gynecological examination.For example, in the bacteriological diagnosis of nonspecific inflammation has no diagnostic value because of the wide variety of opportunistic pathogens in the vagina, and precipitates bacterioscopy is very important.
presence of a large number of leukocytes in the smears confirmed the inflammatory nature of the disease process in the vulvovaginal.
Since vulvovaginitises can be triggered by specific flora, it is necessary to examine the patient for the presence of major urogenital infections: trichomoniasis, gonorrhea, chlamydia and others.Survey method selects the doctor, depending on the technical equipment of a local laboratory.The material for the study may be blood or vaginal contents.
When vulvovaginitah marked change in the overall analysis of urine - increased white blood cell count analysis may be appointed as needed to reveal the nature of inflammation in the urethra.
Girls inspected vulva, speculum examination is not carried out.During a visual inspection of the vulva mucosa hyperemia and edema, may have traces of scratching.In marked inflammation visualized copious who take the study of special tools.Laboratory diagnosis of vulvovaginitis in girls is similar to that in adult women.An additional method in children may be the analysis on helminth eggs.
Instrumental methods of examination of patients with vulvovaginal conducted solely for the purpose of differential diagnosis.If you want to establish the presence of inflammation in the uterus and appendages, appointed an ultrasound scan of the pelvic organs.
If the diagnosis of vulvovaginal requires clarification, patients should consult with other doctors - allergists, venereologists, TB specialists, therapists and so on.
Vulvovaginitis on the background of extragenital pathology in need of treatment of joint gynecologists and related specialties.
When vulvovaginitises untimely medical intervention can have quite serious complications:
- Go to the chronic form of the disease with an unpredictable outcome;
- a long-term inflammatory process due to lower local immunity can cause abnormal changes in the cervix and migrate to the uterus and appendages;
- Long-specific inflammation of the vagina leads to infertility;
- Girls inflammatory exudate when vulvovaginitis may cause "sticking" small and large labia.For a short time formed adhesions (adhesions), which are closed over the entrance to the urethra, causing urinary disorders;
- In elderly patients an inflammation of the vagina causes sores on the mucosa;
- During pregnancy under physiological dysbiosis and reduce local immunity inflammatory process may be rising through to get to the amniotic membranes and infect the fetus.
nature of inflammation and degree of severity can be determined only after a doctor studying patient complaints, gynecological examination and analysis of laboratory diagnostics.For a correct understanding of the causes and nature of the inflammation is necessary to take into account the background processes in the body of the patient, presence extragenital pathology.
self-medication and self-diagnosis of vulvovaginal unacceptable!
Vulvovaginal candidiasis
At the heart of vulvovaginal candidiasis is an infectious process caused by yeast fungi genus Candida.It occurs most often in young women, is much less common in girls and women in menopause.
During pregnancy vulvovaginal candidiasis reveals almost half of the women.
yeasts Candida in the small amounts present in the composition of pathogenic microflora of the vagina and does not cause adverse changes.Candidal inflammation develops only if the number of fungal microflora in the vagina begins to increase.
causes and mechanism of the appearance of vulvovaginal candidiasis are not well understood, it is known that an important development is a violation of microbiocenosis infection of the vagina, followed by a change in its pH.
Sometimes fungi Candida in the excess of "normal" amounts may be present in the vagina in the absence of clinical signs of disease.This condition is called carriage.The carrier does not exclude the disease.
When vulvovaginal candidiasis inflammation localized in the surface layers of the epithelial layer.Failure fungi to penetrate into the deeper and breeding grounds for mucosal sites leads to infection that may be present in the vagina for many years.If the protective properties of the vaginal environment is not lost, it will try to bring the pathogen from the body, preventing it from provoking the disease, which leads to the carrier state.Loss or reduction of protective mechanisms of the vaginal microflora leads to the development of the disease.
Vulvovaginal candidiasis has three clinical forms: carriage, acute and recurrent vulvovaginal (chronic) vulvovaginitis.
Asymptomatic kandidonositelstvo is only a slight increase in the population of fungi in the vaginal environment.It occurs in one in five pregnant women.
special feature is the nature of vulvovaginal inflammation secretions: they are white (sometimes with a yellowish tint), thick consistency and resemble cottage cheese.The rest of the clinical manifestations are similar to those of other origins and vulvovaginitah no different specificity.
acute vulvovaginal candidiasis expressed different clinical picture.On examination revealed redness of the mucous membranes, heavy or moderate cheesy discharge.In a laboratory study revealed a high titer of the content of fungal flora.The acute phase of the disease lasts no more than two months.
Chronic candidiasis differ long duration (more than two months).When viewed on the mucous membranes of the vagina and vulva can see signs of atrophy and infiltration (thickening).
clinical picture of vulvovaginal candidiasis depends on many factors: the composition of the vaginal microflora, concomitant gynecological diseases of the immune system.If the patient has intestinal dysbiosis, candidiasis vulvovagint seen as part of a generalized process.

COLUMBUS -- A state employee whose job is to prevent discrimination sent racist and sexist e-mails from his government account, an investigation found.
A year ago, the same man was reprimanded for sending an e-mail joking about giving jobs to women with large breasts.
Jokes about men kissing, a woman's private parts and a negative racial caricature of Barack Obama were among the latest e-mails sent by the highway department worker, according to a Department of Transportation report obtained today by the Associated Press.
Robert Habern, 55, is the department's Equal Employment Opportunity contracts coordinator in the Lima office. His job is to ensure that vendors with agency contracts comply with federal and state anti-discrimination laws.
Habern, who makes $51,000, was suspended 10 days without pay in October for sending the new e-mails, which investigators said he confirmed sending.
"Everything's all taken care of and squared away," Habern said in a brief phone interview today. "It's over with. I don't even want to bring it back up. It's done and over with."
Highway department investigators say Habern's e-mails are troublesome given his job as an anti-bias coordinator.
A "significant number of e-mails reviewed portrayed activities inconsistent with federal and state anti-discrimination statues," the Aug. 29 report on Habern said. "As such, Habern's activities are even more egregious in nature due to his position at the department."
Habern received a verbal reprimand last year for sending the e-mail about women's breasts.
Department officials defended keeping Habern in his position despite the repeat violations, calling October's unpaid suspension "pretty harsh."
"We followed the appropriate disciplinary process," said spokesman Scott Varner. "He's been well aware that another infraction could lead to his dismissal."
Habern signed a statement in 2004 acknowledging he understood the agency's computer use policy. Nevertheless, he told investigators he wasn't familiar with the department's e-mail policies.
The agency launched its latest investigation into Habern after receiving an anonymous tip about the e-mails.

Our Miami Heat awards at the break: We agree on the MVP
The Heat have hit the All-Star break with 25 wins. The optimists will say they have won 14 of their last 16 games. The pessimist will say they still are seven games under .500.
The break comes at a good time for a team that has gone through so many ups and downs this season, going from the second worst record in the league one month ago to within two games of the playoffs at the break. And although some like to call this the halfway point, Miami is two/thirds through the season.
So with the week-long break upon us we reflect on the season so far and bring you our awards for the two/thirds point of the season.
Most Valuable Player
Tom: Goran Dragic — This one was easy. From the start of the season Dragic has been the team's best and most consistent player. He is the pulse of this team, he plays hard and never makes excuses. Dragic is a coach's consummate leader.
Anthony: Goran Dragic — Through all of the losses Dragic was the most reliable player on the Heat's roster. And now through all of the wins, that hasn't changed. Dragic's efficient and effective play has been impressive to watch, as he's shooting 48.5 percent from the field and 42.6 percent from 3-point range.
Most Improved Player
Tom: James Johnson — Nobody saw this coming. Johnson was an unheralded signing that most thought would give the Heat a little bit of depth defensively but not much help on offense. But he's been a major force off the bench and recently had a string of three consecutive game with at least 20 points to boost his averaged to 12.2 points and nearly five rebounds.
Anthony: Dion Waiters — Welcome to Waiters Island. It's pretty crowded these days. Waiters is playing the best basketball of his NBA career. Over Miami's past 16 games, he's averaging 21 points on 49.8 percent shooting, 4.3 rebounds and 5.1 assists. When the Heat signed Waiters as a free agent this past summer, not many knew what to expect. But this is pretty much the best-case scenario.
Biggest disappointment
Tom: Luke Babbitt — The Heat thought they were getting a 4 who would stretch the floor with his 3-point shooting and become a major piece to the offense when they made the trade with New Orleans last summer. Well, Babbitt does stretch the floor but not nearly enough. He is averaging just 4.5 points and playing just 15.7 minutes, despite having started 35 games. He is shooting .387 from long distance but averaging just more than one 3 per game. For a player who is one dimensional, that is not enough.
Anthony: Derrick Williams — When the Heat signed forward Williams to a one-year, $4.6 million contract, it was with the expectation that the former No. 2 overall pick would be part of the team's rotation this season. But that expectation was way off. In the 51 games Williams spent with the Heat, he played in 25 of them and averaged 15 minutes of playing time. He did not play at all in 25 games with the Heat this season per coach's decision. Miami ended up releasing Williams earlier this month and the Cavaliers picked him up on a 10-day contract.
Biggest surprise
Tom: Dion Waiters turnaround after injury — Waiters was a favorite fan target, after all, he was replacing the most popular player in Heat history. And through the first 15 games he was averaging 14.2 points and shooting just 38 percent. But then came the groin injury that forced him to miss 20 games. Since, he has been a different player. After needing five games to knock off the rust, Waiters has averaged 21 points and 5.1 assists in his last 13 games while shooting just under 50 percent. Now, he could be the shooting guard the Heat pursue for the long term.
Anthony: James Johnson can play point guard — I didn't expect this, and I don't think many outside — maybe even inside — the organization expected Johnson to bring a LeBron James, Draymond Green "one through five" type versatility to the basketball court. At 6-foot-9, 250 pounds, Johnson has done everything from run the offense to defend centers for the Heat this season. As an impending free agent, Johnson is in line to receive a big pay raise this upcoming summer.
Defining Moment
Tom: The 1-5 road trip in early January — Miami emerged from its longest road trip of the season with its one victory coming at Sacramento. And the Heat lost to some bad teams, Phoenix and the Lakers. But coach Erik Spoelstra insisted the team had "a great" road trip and was "making strides" even as the losses mounted. Few took Spoelstra seriously at the time but it cannot be a coincidence that when Miami returned from that trip it immediately won 13 straight games.
Anthony: The win over Golden State — This was not expected. The Heat shocked the NBA world by defeating the NBA's best team (record-wise) 105-102 on Jan. 23. What was the difference that put Miami over the top? Dion Waiters' dramatic game-winning 3-pointer with 0.6 seconds remaining to break a 102-102 tie. The victory energized the Heat as they went on to build a season-changing 13-game winning streak.

Townsend's vole
|Townsend's vole
|Scientific classification
|M. townsendii
|Binomial name
|Microtus townsendii
Townsend's vole (Microtus townsendii) is a species of rodent in the family Cricetidae, the sister species of M. canicaudus.[3] It is found in temperate grasslands of British Columbia in Canada and in the states of Washington and Oregon in the United States.[1][4]
Greek root words for "small ear" are the source for the genus name Microtus.[4] American naturalist and writer John Kirk Townsend collected the type specimen in 1835, which accounts for the second part of the name.[5][6]
Townsend's vole is one of the largest voles in North America,[7] growing to a total length of 169 to 225 mm (6.7 to 8.9 in) including a tail of 48 to 70 mm (1.9 to 2.8 in), and a weight of 48 to 73 g (1.7 to 2.6 oz).[2][3][8] The ears are wide and prominent, being clearly visible above the fur, which is thin and coarse. The upper surface is dark brown with many guard hairs with black tips and the underparts are paler. The feet are slate grey and the tail is blackish above and dark brown beneath. Juveniles are generally darker than adults with dark grey underparts and black tails and feet.[5]
Distribution and habitat[edit]
Townsend's vole is found in the extreme west of North America. Its range extends from Vancouver Island, British Columbia southwards through Washington state and Oregon to Humboldt Bay in California. It occurs from sea level to altitudes of 1,830 m (6,000 ft) in the Olympic Mountains and 915 m (3,002 ft) in the Cascade Range.[1] These voles typically live in wet meadows, marshes, flood plains, wet areas with rank vegetation and salt marshes.[5]
The population can become extremely dense, so that it impacts or excludes other species. Their proliferation rate makes them a good source of food for many species.[4]
Townsend's vole lives in a burrow system and creates runways among the vegetation in its habitat. The runways are used all year round by successive generations of voles and may be 2.5 to 5 cm (1 to 2 in) deep.[5] In the summer the voles may take advantage of the denser cover available and also move about elsewhere. Feces are deposited in the runways and large latrines may form, often at intersections.[5] These latrines have been reported as reaching dimensions of 18 by 8 cm (7 by 3 in) with a height of up to 13 cm (5 in). Nests may be built on the surface of the ground or on hummocks, and this allows the vole to live in seasonally-flooded areas where its burrows are sometimes underwater. Both underground and surface nests are made of grasses.[5]
Townsend's vole feeds on soft green plant material such as rushes, tules, grasses, sedges, horsetails, clovers, alfalfa, blue-eyed grass and purple-eyed grass. They also store the bulbous roots of American wild mint, consuming them during the winter even though plenty of succulent green food is available at that time.[5]
Breeding takes place between February and October. The gestation period is about 23 days and the litter size ranges from one to nine young with an average of four, larger females usually having larger litters. The offspring are weaned at about sixteen days of age.[5]
Townsend's vole has a wide range and undergoes large swings in population. Over the long term, the population seems to be steady and in some localities this vole is very plentiful, having been recorded at densities as high as eight hundred individuals per hectare.[4] No particular threats to this species have been recognised; the International Union for Conservation of Nature assessed its conservation status as being of "least concern".[1]
