While for many people the concept of grooming your pet conjures up notions of brushes and bows, it is, in fact, a vital element to their overall health and wellbeing. Regularly grooming your animal allows any underlying diseases or conditions to be caught early which means earlier and more efficient diagnosis and treatment.
If you have a puppy or a kitten, it will be important for you to begin training them to like or at least tolerate the grooming process, which will be beneficial to them as they reach maturity. This is especially true of nail clipping and ear cleaning which requires them to sit completely still for the process.
Reputable breeders will often begin grooming their litters as soon as they are old enough to help get them used to the process. However, despite training and conditioning, not all animals enjoy the grooming process and many owners find it easier to send their pet to a professional groomer instead. Even if you do opt to use a professional pet groomer, there are still a number of regular grooming techniques that you can do at home with your pet to strengthen your bond.
Here are some of the important benefits of pet grooming.
Quite often misconstrued as the only part of grooming, brushing is still a huge element of the process. Regular brushing removes dirt, dandruff and dead hairs from your pet and in kittens and cats can also cut back on the number of hairballs that they ingest. It also prevents tangles and matting which can lead to pain and infections. Brushing also stimulates the natural oils in your pets' fur, which are then spread across the coat leaving it with a glossy and healthy sheen.
When brushing your pet you will be able to do a thorough examination of its skin, identifying any issues such as ticks, fleas, bald and dry patches. Any swellings or other abnormalities will also be easier to feel.
Ears can be a concern for a number of different breeds who are more susceptible to infections and parasites. They should be clean and odor-free. Anything that looks red, swollen or has an unpleasant smell, plus any sign of infestation by mites or ticks, should be examined by a veterinarian as soon as possible.
Eyes can also be prone to infection if the hairs around them are not kept trimmed. They should be bright and clear. Any watery eyes or anything that looks sore should also be checked by your veterinarian.
Regular teeth brushing is the only way to help combat periodontal disease, and if your pet has bad breath then it is a sure sign of a dental problem. Your vet will be happy to recommend specialist pet toothbrushes and toothpaste – just ask!
Bathing your pet too often can actually have a detrimental effect on their health as it strips all of the natural oils from their skin, leaving them with dry, itchy patches which when scratched could then cause infection. That said, some washing is needed to ensure that your animal remains clean and germ-free. Ask your vet what sort of bathing schedule they would recommend for your breed of dog.
Pets can have extremely sharp nails which, if not frequently trimmed, can cause serious injury. Regular trims can reduce the risk of injury, stops them from getting caught in carpet or other upholstery, and prevents the likelihood of in-growing nails. For older pets, it can also ease arthritis and other joint pain.
We hope that this article has helped highlight the importance of grooming your pet for its overall health and wellbeing.

The natural world functions very well on its own. Left to their own devices, members of the tens of millions of species on our planet thrive and prosper without relying on outside agencies.
In order to grow abundantly, plants consume carbon dioxide, water, and nutrients from the soil. Likewise, herbivorous animals consume plants whereas carnivorous animals consume other animals. Insects eat a wide variety of foods, including plants, fruit, other insects, detritus (dead leaves, stems, and twigs), and even blood. Many types of bacteria and fungi recycle decomposing matter. Whales, the top predator in the oceans, may consume more than a ton of plankton per day in addition to fish, squid, and other crustaceans.
Every member of every species excepting humans (Homo sapiens sapiens) obtains everything it needs from the environment. Modern humanity is the only species for which the abundance provided by the global ecosystem is insufficient.
For instance, mountain lions, raccoons, and coyotes don't need sleeping pills. But humans spend more than $1.5 billion per year on the sleep aid Ambien. Dolphins, antelope, and bluebirds don't have problems with blood glucose levels. In stark contrast, the annual cost of diabetes medications in the United States was $12.5 billion in 2007. In the wild, oak trees, tuna, and elephants don't need nutritional supplementation. Humans, however, spend more than $23 billion annually in the United States alone. What is wrong with this picture?
As a species, humans have the unprecedented ability to manipulate and drastically alter the world in which we live. Also aside from epidemic infectious disease, there exists no natural check on human population growth. As populations expand, resources become scarce. Populations flocking to urban enclaves not only leave behind the countryside but also local sources of fresh fruits, vegetables, meat and poultry. Canning, packaging, and transportation of food over long distances become necessary to supply the energy needs of cities. But only calories and not much else are obtained by these methods. Energy is provided but food quality is substantially reduced.
Chronic disease becomes widespread. Diabetes, cardiovascular disorders including high blood pressure, heart attacks, and stroke, and obesity are all the direct result of a severely compromised food supply.1,2,3
Our disconnect from the natural world poses many additional challenges. Our bodies were designed to meet the demanding physical requirements of a hostile environment. But for the most part we don't do physical work anymore. If we don't find satisfactory substitutes for strenuous physical activity our musculoskeletal, metabolic, and endocrine systems easily deteriorate. The consequences include osteoporosis, chronic aches and pains, gastrointestinal problems, and anxiety and depression.
It takes a lot of effort to maintain good health when we're so far removed from the natural world. We need to make sure our diets are healthy and we need to get sufficient and regular strenuous exercise. The short- and long-term benefits include happiness, self-esteem, and ongoing well-being.

Guinea-BissauThe number of deaths of infants under one year old in a given year per 1,000 live births in Guinea-Bissau is 90.92 while in Zimbabwe it is 26.55.
This entry gives the number of deaths of infants under one year old in a given year per 1,000 live births in the same year; included is the total death rate, and deaths by sex, male and female. This rate is often used as an indicator of the level of health in a country.
CIA World Factbook
The life expectancy at birth in Guinea-Bissau is 49.87 while in Zimbabwe it is 55.68.
This entry contains the average number of years to be lived by a group of people born in the same year, if mortality at each age remains constant in the future. The entry includes total population as well as the male and female components. Life expectancy at birth is also a measure of overall quality of life in a country and summarizes the mortality at all ages. It can also be thought of as indicating the potential return on investment in human capital and is necessary for the calculation of various actuarial measures.
CIA World Factbook
The GDP per capita in Guinea-Bissau is $1,200 while in Zimbabwe it is $600
This entry shows GDP on a purchasing power parity basis divided by population as of 1 July for the same year. A nation's GDP at purchasing power parity (PPP) exchange rates is the sum value of all goods and services produced in the country valued at prices prevailing in the United States. This is the measure most economists prefer when looking at per-capita welfare and when comparing living conditions or use of resources across countries. The measure is difficult to compute, as a US dollar value has to be assigned to all goods and services in the country regardless of whether these goods and services have a direct equivalent in the United States (for example, the value of an ox-cart or non-US military equipment); as a result, PPP estimates for some countries are based on a small and sometimes different set of goods and services. In addition, many countries do not formally participate in the World Bank's PPP project that calculates these measures, so the resulting GDP estimates for these countries may lack precision. For many developing countries, PPP-based GDP measures are multiples of the official exchange rate (OER) measure. The differences between the OER- and PPP-denominated GDP values for most of the wealthy industrialized countries are generally much smaller.
CIA World Factbook
The percentage of adults living with HIV/AIDS in Guinea-Bissau is 3.90% while in Zimbabwe it is 14.70%. 2,300 people in Guinea-Bissau and 39,500 people in Zimbabwe die from AIDS each year.
This entry gives an estimate of the percentage of adults (aged 15-49) living with HIV/AIDS. The adult prevalence rate is calculated by dividing the estimated number of adults living with HIV/AIDS at yearend by the total adult population at yearend.
CIA World Factbook
The per capita consumption of electricity in Zimbabwe is 912kWh while in Guinea-Bissau it is 36kWh
This entry consists of total electricity generated annually plus imports and minus exports, expressed in kilowatt-hours. The discrepancy between the amount of electricity generated and/or imported and the amount consumed and/or exported is accounted for as loss in transmission and distribution.
CIA World Factbook
Zimbabwe consumes 0.0588 gallons of oil per day per capita while Guinea-Bissau consumes 0.0714
This entry is the total oil consumed in gallons per day (gal/day) divided by the population. The discrepancy between the amount of oil produced and/or imported and the amount consumed and/or exported is due to the omission of stock changes, refinery gains, and other complicating factors.
CIA World Factbook
10.30 in every 100,000 people are murdered annually in Guinea-Bissau compared to 7.50 in Zimbabwe
This entry contains the number of victims of an unlawful death purposefully inflicted on a person by another person. Data is originally sourced from either criminal justice or public health systems.
United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime
The annual number of births per 1,000 people in Guinea-Bissau is 33.83 while in Zimbabwe it is 32.47.
This entry gives the average annual number of births during a year per 1,000 persons in the population at midyear; also known as crude birth rate. The birth rate is usually the dominant factor in determining the rate of population growth. It depends on both the level of fertility and the age structure of the population.
CIA World Factbook
With its 1,693,398 people, Guinea-Bissau is the 150th largest country in the world by population. It is the 136th largest country in the world by area with 36,125 square kilometers.
Since independence from Portugal in 1974, Guinea-Bissau has experienced considerable political and military upheaval. In 1980, a military coup established authoritarian dictator Joao Bernardo 'Nino' VIEIRA as president. Despite setting a path to a market economy and multiparty system, VIEIRA's regime was characterized by the suppression of political opposition and the purging of political rivals. Several coup attempts through the 1980s and early 1990s failed to unseat him. In 1994 VIEIRA was elected president in the country's first free elections. A military mutiny and resulting civil war in 1998 eventually led to VIEIRA's ouster in May 1999. In February 2000, a transitional government turned over power to opposition leader Kumba YALA after he was elected president in transparent polling. In September 2003, after only three years in office, YALA was overthrown in a bloodless military coup, and businessman Henrique ROSA was sworn in as interim president. In 2005, former President VIEIRA was re-elected president pledging to pursue economic development and national reconciliation; he was assassinated in March 2009. Malam Bacai SANHA was elected in an emergency election held in June 2009, but he passed away in January 2012 from an existing illness. A military coup in April 2012 prevented Guinea-Bissau's second-round presidential election - to determine SANHA's successor - from taking place.

Need A Reliable Fort Wadsworth Roofing And Siding Contractor? We're Here In Staten Island NY
Residents of Fort Wadsworth, New York have worked long and hard to obtain their homes. And many of these individuals spend enormously to maintain their home's value and appearance. Unfortunately, there are many homeowner, who lie awake at night worrying about their home's roof. Your roof provides you with shelter and helps to keep the elements out. If your roof becomes damaged, it will begin to leak and this will result in substantial damage to your home's attic, wood, and more. We are the top Fort Wadsworth roofing contractor and we can help rectify roofing problems in a jiffy and at an affordable cost.

If you only need a single panel of siding or a single shingle replaced, we've got you covered.
However, we also offer complete roof replacements. When you work with us, you will have no limitations.
Binding Quotes
It is highly understandable that residents of Fort Wadsworth will want to save money when replacing their roof or siding. As one of the most skilled contractors in the area, we aim to satisfy in this category. However, we understand that we may not always offer the lowest price. Nonetheless, we always want the client to receive the best experience at the lowest cost, even if it means losing a customer. This is why we offer binding quotes. The price we give is set in stone and cannot be changed once the project has been finished.

We're more than happy to bestow this knowledge upon our clients. When working with us, you can rest assured that you'll receive the best materials humanely possible. We'll work with the client directly to help them choose the right material for their budget, preferences, and unique needs.
Roof Vent Pipe Boot Replacement
When a new roof is installed on your home, the Fort Wadsworth roofing contractor will also recommend replacing the vent pipe boots. If you switch from an asphalt shingle roof to clay or concrete tiles, the vent boots will need to be replaced. However, if you are going to replace the old asphalt roofing shingles with new asphalt shingles, the vent boots may be salvageable. These products are not that expensive, but they will add to the total cost of the installation package. If the vent is prone to leaking, the contractor will probably suggest a replacement. Otherwise, you will save money by reusing the boots.
Roofing Trusses
Roofing trusses are the major component of any building structure. There are various roofing trusses designs, including studio vault, tray vault, cathedral, room in attic, and common. The individual building the home from the ground up will choose the best design that suits the home. This is hardly ever altered throughout the home's lifespan, but some homeowners will at some point decide to increase the size of the home, so the trusses will need to be altered. The common and room in the attic design is the most popular, with the studio vault not trailing too far behind.
When the roof is replaced, the contractor will thoroughly examine the trusses, looking for water damage. If the roof has been leaking for several months, there is a high probability rating that the trusses may very well be damaged. The areas that are damaged will be replaced, driving up the initial price. If you have any questions about the roofing structure, be sure to speak with one of our licensed contractors.
Downspouts And Guttering
Downspouts and gutters play an intricate role in preventing water damage to your home. These items hardly need to be replaced, but they will tend to fill up with debris. If you do not clean your gutters out regularly, the weight on the debris will put a lot of stress on them. This may cause them to pull away from the eave, causing major damage to the roofing structure. Our contractors are skilled in guttering installation and replacement.

Desiderata by Max Ehrmann
Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others,
even to the dull and ignorant; they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter,
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals,
and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love;
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be.
And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life,
keep peace with your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

FacilWeb.com.bo runs various Promotional offers, which you may participate in and choose to offer these Products and Services to your Customers and Sub-Resellers at discounted rates.
How do I activate / manage a Promo?
Step 1: Log in to your Reseller Control Panel. Learn how.
Step 2: Navigate to the Domain Registration pricing page.
Click on Settings > Manage Products and Pricing.
Click on the Domain Registration link.
Click on the Manage Prices link.
Step 3: Select the TLD for which you wish to manage the promo.
Click on the Promos link to list the TLDs with available promos.
Click on Start Now to activate the promo.
If the Promo is already activated, click on Manage to manage the Promo pricing.
Step 4: Set up the Promo details
Fill in the required parameters on the following page and click on the Update Promo button once you have set these parameters.
The Promo would begin at 12.00 am GMT/UTC on the Promo Start Date and would end at the stroke of mid-night as per GMT/UTC on the Promo End Date.
A green star indicates that a Promo is activated for a TLD for Registration, Renewal and/or Transfer.
You may modify the Promo Price to Customer, Promo Price to Sub-Reseller and Non-Promo Price to Sub-Reseller at any time.
If the price is modified before the Promo Start date, the new price will be applicable from the Promo Start Date at 00:00 GMT / UTC.
If the price is modified while the Promo is on, the new price will be applicable immediately.
The Promo Pricing may apply to Registration, Renewal and/or Transfer under the specific TLD (extension) and only for the least number of years applicable for that TLD. For any additional years, your usual Selling Price would be applicable.
Promo activated for: .COM Domain Names
Promo Applicable for Action: Registration
Promo Selling Price for Customers: USD 8
Usual Selling Price for Customers: USD 10
Now when your Customer tries to register some-name.com for 5 years, he would be charged the first 1 year at USD 8 and for the remaining 4 years at USD 10. This means that, the Customer would have to pay you USD 48 for registering the domain name.
You may preview the contents of the Announcement by clicking the Announcement link.
Upon selecting the Announcement checkbox, the template text would appear as a full page announcement (like a splash page) to your Customers and Sub-Resellers in their Control Panel, the moment they login. The full page Announcement is displayed to your Customers and Sub-Resellers only the first time they login and then onwards this Announcement will appear in the Announcements box on the Home page of their Control Panel, until the Promo End Date passes.
When you end a Promo, it will get deactivated down your entire Sub-Reseller chain.
If there are any unpaid Invoices (with the status Action and Payment Pending) after the Promo is terminated, they would be automatically cancelled to prevent you from suffering any loss, should your Customer / Sub-Reseller execute any Invoice after the Promo has been terminated.
The SuperSite and PartnerSite contain a large amount of marketing content and information about the Products and Services you offer to your Customers and Sub-Resellers respectively. This data is downloaded to your SuperSite and PartnerSite from your Control Panel and cached (stored) on the SuperSite and PartnerSite Server respectively. Hence, you would need to refresh the cache of your SuperSite and PartnerSite once:
if you have activated/terminated a Promo,
if you have modified the value of one or more Pricing related fields,
if the Promo ends automatically after the Promo End Date.
You may accomplish this from within your Control Panel itself by clicking on Tools > Reload SuperSite & PartnerSite Cache > SuperSite & PartnerSite Promotional Offers.
If you have activated a Promo and not reloaded the SuperSite cache, the SuperSite will continue to display the regular price. However, the actual Invoice raised will be for the Promo price, if applicable.
Similarly, if you have terminated a Promo or FacilWeb.com.bo has ended it and the SuperSite cache has not been reloaded, the SuperSite will continue to display the Promo price. However, the actual Invoice raised will be for the regular price.

In biological sequence analysis, position specific scoring matrices (PSSMs) are widely used to represent sequence motifs. We present a new non-heuristic algorithm, called ESAsearch, to efficiently find matches of such matrices in large databases. Our approach preprocesses the search space, e.g. a complete genome or a set of protein sequences, and builds an enhanced suffix array which is stored on file. The enhanced suffix array only requires 9 bytes per input symbol, and allows to search a database with a PSSM in sublinear expected time. Since ESAsearch benefits from small alphabets, we present a variant operating on sequences recoded according to a reduced alphabet. We also address the problem of non-comparable PSSM-scores by developing a method which allows to efficiently compute a matrix similarity threshold for a PSSM, given an E-value or a P-value. Our method is based on dynamic programming. In contrast to other methods it employs lazy evaluation of the dynamic programming matrix: it only evaluates those matrix entries that are necessary to derive the sought similarity threshold.
The PoSSuMsearch program, included in the PoSSuM software distribution implements the algorithms Simplesearch, Lookaheadsearch, ESAsearch and Lazydistrib. A user can search for PSSMs in enhanced suffix arrays built by mkvtree from the VMATCH package (also included in the PoSSuM software distribution), as well as on plain sequence data in Fasta, GENBANK, EMBL, or SPROT format. The search algorithm can be chosen from the command line.
PSSMs are specified in a simple plain text format, where one file may contain multiple PSSMs. The alphabet a PSSM refers to, and alphabet character to PSSM column assignments can be specified on a per-PSSM basis for most flexible alphabet support. All implemented algorithms support alphabet transformations. PSSMs can contain integer as well as floating point scores. To prevent rounding errors for integer based PSSMs, PoSSuMsearch uses integer arithmetics for these, resulting in an additional speedup on most CPU architectures. Searching on the reverse strand of nucleotide sequences is implemented by PSSM transformation according to Watson-Crick base pairing. Hence it is sufficient to build the enhanced suffix array for one strand only. This can then be used to search both strands.
The cutoff can be specified as p-value, E-value, MSS (matrix similarity score), or raw score threshold. If only the best matches with the highest scores need to be known, then PoSSuMsearch can be asked to report only the k highest scoring matches without even specifying an explicit cutoff. To do so, the search algorithms dynamically adapt the threshold during the search. When using p- or E-values, the score threshold is determined by either the lazy dynamic programming algorithm introduced in this contribution, or read from file that stores the complete precalculated probability distribution. Background distributions can be specified arbitrarily by the user, or determined from a given sequence database. We provide a tool, PoSSuMdist, to generate a compressed file containing the complete precalculated probability distributions for a set of PSSMs.
Availability: The PoSSuM software package, including the program PoSSuMsearch implementing the ESAsearch algorithm, is available free of charge for non-commercial research institutions

God's Free Children in Christ.* 1I mean that as long as the heir is not of age,* he is no different from a slave, although he is the owner of everything, 2but he is under the supervision of guardians and administrators until the date set by his father. 3a In the same way we also, when we were not of age, were enslaved to the elemental powers of the world.* 4But when the fullness of time had come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law,b 5to ransom those under the law, so that we might receive adoption.c 6As proof that you are children,* God sent the spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying out, "Abba, Father!"d 7So you are no longer a slave but a child, and if a child then also an heir, through God.e
Do Not Throw This Freedom Away.* 8f At a time when you did not know God, you became slaves to things that by nature are not gods;* 9but now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how can you turn back again to the weak and destitute elemental powers? Do you want to be slaves to them all over again?g 10You are observing days,h months, seasons, and years.* 11I am afraid on your account that perhaps I have labored for you in vain.*
Appeal to Former Loyalty.* 12I implore you, brothers, be as I am, because I have also become as you are.* You did me no wrong;i 13you know that it was because of a physical illness* that I originally preached the gospel to you, 14and you did not show disdain or contempt because of the trial caused you by my physical condition, but rather you received me as an angel of God, as Christ Jesus. 15Where now is that blessedness of yours?* Indeed, I can testify to you that, if it had been possible, you would have torn out your eyes and given them to me. 16So now have I become your enemy by telling you the truth? 17They show interest in you, but not in a good way; they want to isolate you,* so that you may show interest in them.j 18Now it is good to be shown interest for good reason at all times, and not only when I am with you. 19My children, for whom I am again in labor until Christ be formed in you!k 20I would like to be with you now and to change my tone, for I am perplexed because of you.
An Allegory on Christian Freedom.* 21Tell me, you who want to be under the law, do you not listen to the law? 22For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the slave woman and the other by the freeborn woman.l 23The son of the slave woman was born naturally, the son of the freeborn through a promise.m 24Now this is an allegory. These women represent two covenants. One was from Mount Sinai, bearing children for slavery; this is Hagar.n 25Hagar represents Sinai,* a mountain in Arabia; it corresponds to the present Jerusalem, for she is in slavery along with her children. 26But the Jerusalem above is freeborn, and she is our mother.o 27For it is written:
"Rejoice, you barren one who bore no children;p
break forth and shout, you who were not in labor;
for more numerous are the children of the deserted one
than of her who has a husband."*
28Now you, brothers, like Isaac, are children of the promise.q 29But just as then the child of the flesh persecuted the child of the spirit, it is the same now. 30But what does the scripture say?
"Drive out the slave woman and her son!
For the son of the slave woman shall not share the inheritance with the son"r
of the freeborn. 31Therefore, brothers, we are children not of the slave woman but of the freeborn woman.s
* [4:1–7] What Paul has argued in Gal 3:26–29 is now elaborated in terms of the Christian as the heir (Gal 4:1, 7; cf. Gal 3:18, 29) freed from control by others. Again, as in Gal 3:2–5, the proof that Christians are children of God is the gift of the Spirit of Christ relating them intimately to God.
* [4:1, 3] Not of age: an infant or minor.
* [4:3] The elemental powers of the world: while the term can refer to the "elements" like earth, air, fire, and water or to elementary forms of religion, the sense here is more likely that of celestial beings that were thought in pagan circles to control the world; cf. Gal 4:8; Col 2:8, 20.
* [4:6] Children: see note on Gal 3:26; here in contrast to the infant or young person not of age (Gal 3:1, 3). Abba: cf. Mk 14:36 and the note; Rom 8:15.
* [4:8–11] On the basis of the arguments advanced from Gal 3:1 through Gal 4:7, Paul now launches his appeal to the Galatians with the question, how can you turn back to the slavery of the law (Gal 4:9)? The question is posed with reference to bondage to the elemental powers (see note on Gal 4:3) because the Galatians had originally been converted to Christianity from paganism, not Judaism (Gal 4:8). The use of the direct question is like Gal 3:3–5.
* [4:8] Things that by nature are not gods: or "gods that by nature do not exist."
* [4:10] This is likely a reference to ritual observances from the Old Testament, promoted by opponents: sabbaths or Yom Kippur, new moon, Passover or Pentecost, sabbatical years.
* [4:11] Cf. Gal 2:2. If the Galatians become slaves…all over again to the law (Gal 4:9), Paul will have worked in vain among them.
* [4:12–20] A strongly personal section. Paul appeals to past ties between the Galatians and himself. He speaks sharply of the opponents (Gal 4:17–18) and pastorally to the Galatians (Gal 4:19–20).
* [4:12] Because I have also become as you are: a terse phrase in Greek, meaning "Be as I, Paul, am," i.e., living by faith, independent of the law, for, in spite of my background in Judaism (Gal 1:13), I have become as you Galatians are now, a brother in Christ.
* [4:13] Physical illness: because its nature is not described, some assume an eye disease (Gal 4:15); others, epilepsy; some relate it to 2 Cor 12:7–9. Originally: this may also be translated "formerly" or "on the first (of two) visit(s)"; cf. Acts 16:6; 18:23.
* [4:15] That blessedness of yours: possibly a reference to the Galatians' initial happy reception of Paul (Gal 4:14) and of his gospel (Gal 1:6; 3:1–4) and their felicitation at such blessedness, but the phrase could also refer ironically to earlier praise by Paul of the Galatians, no longer possible when they turn from the gospel to the claims of the opponents (Gal 4:17–18; 1:7). If the word is a more literal reference to a beatitude, Gal 3:26–28 may be in view.
* [4:17] Isolate you: that is, from the blessings of the gospel and/or from Paul.
* [4:21–31] Paul supports his appeal for the gospel (Gal 4:9; 1:6–9; 2:16; 3:2) by a further argument from scripture (cf. Gal 3:6–18). It involves the relationship of Abraham (Gal 3:6–16) to his wife, Sarah, the freeborn woman, and to Hagar, the slave woman, and the contrast between the sons born to each, Isaac, child of promise, and Ishmael, son of Hagar (Gn 16; 21). Only through Isaac is the promise of God preserved. This allegory (Gal 4:24), with its equation of the Sinai covenant and Mosaic law with slavery and of the promise of God with freedom, Paul uses only in light of previous arguments. His quotation of Gn 21:10 at Gal 4:30 suggests on a scriptural basis that the Galatians should expel those who are troubling them (Gal 1:7).
* [4:25] Hagar represents Sinai…: some manuscripts have what seems a geographical note, "For Sinai is a mountain in Arabia."
* [4:27] Is 54:1 in the Septuagint translation is applied to Sarah as the barren one (in Gn 15) who ultimately becomes the mother not only of Isaac but now of numerous children, i.e., of all those who believe, the children of the promise (Gal 4:28).

SAN MATEO, Calif. (AP) -- As the wreckage of Asiana Flight 214 burned, Ye Meng Yuan was lying on the ground just 30 feet away, buried by the firefighting foam rescue workers were spraying to douse the flames.
No one knows exactly how the 16-year-old Chinese student got to that spot, but officials say one thing is clear now: She somehow survived the crash.
And in the chaotic moments that followed -- flames devouring the fuselage, those aboard escaping by emergency slides, flight attendants frantically cutting away seat belts to free passengers -- a fire truck ran over Yuan, killing her.
The new details -- released Friday by the coroner's office -- compounded the tragedy for her family and confirmed the growing suspicions that emergency workers have had since soon after the July 6 crash: One of the three who died did so by rescuers' actions.
"There's not a lot of words to describe how badly we feel, how sorry we feel," said San Francisco Fire Chief Joanne Hayes-White.
Yuan's family was upset after learning the details of their daughter's death and wants her body returned to China, San Mateo County Coroner Robert Foucrault said. "It was a difficult conversation," he said.
Hayes-White said she was trying to arrange a meeting with them and that the "tragic accident" would prompt a review of how the fire department uses the foam and responds to emergencies at the airport.
"There's always room for us to evaluate and improve our response," she said. "(There's) very unfortunate news today. However, many, many lives were saved and we made a valiant effort to do so."
In a statement, the Chinese Consulate called on authorities to determine responsibility for Yuan's death.
Online comments by Chinese citizens, while expressing sadness at the Ye's death, praised the U.S. authorities for revealing the truth and contrasted that transparency with frequent cover-ups by their own governments.
Hayes-White said she did not immediately foresee any disciplinary action. San Francisco police and the National Transportation Safety Board are investigating the incident.
In all, 304 of the 307 people aboard the Boeing 777 survived the crash at San Francisco International Airport.
Yuan and her close friend, 16-year-old Wang Linjia, who also died, were students at Jiangshan Middle School in Zhejiang, an affluent coastal province in eastern China, Chinese state media has reported. They were part of a group of students and teachers from the school who were heading to summer camp in Southern California.
Yuan and Linjia were seated at the back of the plane. Authorities say the jetliner came in too low and too slow, clipping its landing gear and then its tail on a rocky seawall just short of the runway.
Linjia's body was found near the seawall at the edge of the runway. It was unclear how Yuan got from the airplane to the spot where she died. Investigators believe she was down on the ground and not standing up during the "volatile" and "dangerous" aftermath of the plane crash, the fire chief said.
Foucrault declined to go into detail on how he determined the teenager was alive before she was struck, but said there was internal hemorrhaging that indicated her heart was still beating at the time.
Authorities confirmed last week that Yuan was hit by a vehicle racing to extinguish the flames in the plane. Police said she was on the ground and covered in the foam that rescuers had sprayed on the wreckage.
Firefighting crews apply the foam not only to stop the fire and cool the fuselage but to suppress fuel vapors. They continue to spray it to maintain the blanket because it can break down under certain conditions, fire department spokeswoman Mindy Talmadge said.
Fire trucks usually start shooting foam while approaching the fuselage from 80 or 100 feet away. The foam is also used to clear a safe path for evacuees, experts say.
"This is very rare. I've never heard of it before. I'm not aware of any other similar incident in my 35 years in the fire service," said Ken Willette, a division manager for the National Fire Protection Agency, which sets national standards for training airfield firefighters.
Willette said that amid the chaotic scene that included a burning aircraft, hundreds of survivors running for their lives -- as well as those who needed to be rescued -- the firefighters' other primary objective was to put down a foam blanket to suppress the fire.
"Their training kicks in at a time like that and they focus on what they see on scene," Willette said. "Their mission going into that operation was getting into the aircraft, to save as many lives as possible and avoid hitting any of the people who may have been going away from the scene.
"But for reasons unknown, the coroner has confirmed that this young lady who was in the area of the crash was run over by a fire apparatus. This was a very tragic accident."
Associated Press writers Mihir Zaveri in San Francisco and Didi Tang in Beijing contributed to this report.

Cans of the popular flavored malt beverage Four Loko will soon sport an "Alcohol Facts" label to make it plain they pack a potent punch.
The changes are part of a final settlement announced Tuesday between the Federal Trade Commission and Phusion Projects, whose products have been blamed for hospitalizations and deaths among young people.
The company still disagrees with the commission's allegations, but said in a statement that the agreement provides a practical way for the company to move ahead. "We share a common interest with the FTC in providing consumers with information and packaging options to help them make informed, responsible decisions," said the statement by Jaisen Freeman, a co-founder of Phusion Projects.
The new labels, which will appear on the back of all cans containing more than two servings, will make it clear what a serving size is and note that each serving contains 0.6 ounces of alcohol.
All cans containing more than two-and-a-half servings will also have to be resealable. That change may help consumers realize that they really don't need to guzzle it all down in one sitting.
The label changes, which will go into effect after they're approved by the Department of Treasury's Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau, settle the FTC's deceptive marketing charges against Phusion Projects.
The FTC had alleged that ads for Four Loko falsely claimed that a 23.5-ounce can contained the equivalent of one to two cans of beer. In fact, the FTC says, it's more like four to five beers. The agency had previously proposed changing Four Loko labels to express the alcohol content in terms of the equivalent number of regular beers.
As boozy as Four Loko is now, it used to be even more potent, thanks to an original formula that included caffeine. In November 2010, Phusion Projects decided to remove the caffeine, along with guarana and taurine, from the formula as the FTC was preparing a crackdown on drinks that blend stimulants and alcohol. As our friends at Shots have reported, psychologists have found that mixing alcohol and caffeine may impair judgment more than booze alone.
Update 1:17 p.m. ET: After we published this post, we received an email from Phusion Projects noting that "the FDA commended us on November 24, 2010, for our decision to voluntarily reformulate our products."

Google will build a car without a steering wheel.
It doesn't need one because it drives itself.
The two-seater won't be sold publicly, but Google said Tuesday it hopes by this time next year, 100 prototypes will be on public roads. Though not driving very quickly — the top speed would be 25 mph.
The cars are a natural next step for Google, which already has driven hundreds of thousands of miles in California with Lexus SUVs and Toyota Priuses outfitted with a combination of sensors and computers.
Those cars have Google-employed "safety drivers" behind the wheel in case of emergency. The new cars would eliminate the driver from the task of driving.
No steering wheel, no brake and gas pedals. Instead, buttons for go and stop.
"It reminded me of catching a chairlift by yourself, a bit of solitude I found really enjoyable," Sergey Brin, co-founder of Google, told a Southern California tech conference Tuesday evening of his first ride, according to a transcript.
The electric-powered car is compact and bubble-shaped — something that might move people around a corporate campus or congested downtown.
Google is unlikely to go deeply into auto manufacturing. In unveiling the prototype, the company emphasized partnering with other firms.
The biggest obstacle could be the law.
Test versions will have a wheel and pedals, because they must under California regulations.
Google hopes to build the 100 prototypes late this year or early next and use them in a to-be-determined "pilot program," spokeswoman Courtney Hohne said. Meanwhile, by the end of this year, California's Department of Motor Vehicles must write regulations for the "operational" use of truly driverless cars.
The DMV had thought that reality was several years away, so it would have time to perfect the rules.
That clock just sped up, said the head of the DMV's driverless car program, Bernard Soriano.
"Because of what is potentially out there soon, we need to make sure that the regulations are in place that would keep the public safe but would not impede progress," Soriano said.

There's new evidence that widely prescribed testosterone drugs — touted for men with flagging libidos and general listlessness — might increase the risk of heart attacks.
A study of more than 55,000 men found a doubling of heart attack risk among testosterone users older than 65, compared with men who didn't take the drug.
The research was inspired by a smaller study published in 2010 that hinted at an elevated risk among frail, older men who were on testosterone replacement therapy. The earlier study was halted ahead of schedule because of a higher rate of heart attacks, strokes and other cardiovascular problems.
What's new, says William Finkle, lead author of a study published Wednesday by PLOS ONE, is that in men younger than 65 with known heart disease, "we also found a twofold increase in risk of nonfatal heart attack shortly after initiation of testosterone therapy."
Nonusers had a risk of heart attack of 5 per 1,000 men followed for 1 year, while testosterone users older than 65, and those under 65 with known heart disease, had an absolute risk of 10 per 1,000 patient years. These numbers were adjusted to account for other health issues, including high blood pressure, diabetes and smoking.
As men age, their production of testosterone falls. For some, testosterone drops so low that it becomes a medical problem. But millions of U.S. men use testosterone drugs as lifestyle drugs, resorting to replacements to reverse a natural decline. In a sign of the drugs' popularity, sales of AbbVie's , the leading testosterone replacement, surpassed Viagra's in 2012.
In one frequently aired TV ad, a youthful-looking 50-something man owns up to having "low T," which his doctor discovered after he complained of sagging energy and irritability. After taking Androgel, he's back in the swing of things, the ad suggests, riding around in a convertible with a younger-looking woman.
With such inducements (and common symptoms), some specialists worry that many men are being prescribed testosterone drugs even if they have normal levels of the male sex hormone. The drugs cost around $300 to $400 a month, but companies are offering to cover patients' insurance copayments or are giving away the first month's supply.
In addition to the new study and the one in 2010, a Veterans Affairs study last November found a higher rate of heart attacks, strokes and deaths among 1,223 men taking testosterone therapy, compared with 7,486 who didn't get the hormone treatment.
Finkle, who's with a California firm called Consolidated Research, tells Shots that "the risk of heart attack should be added to the discussion between patients and physicians" before anyone starts testosterone treatment.
We have a 2010 study that was canceled because of unexpected cardiovascular risk. I think that was sufficient to justify a warning. Why withhold that from the patient?
He also says the Food and Drug Administration should require a warning on the labels of testosterone drugs such as Androgel and . "We have a 2010 study that was canceled because of unexpected cardiovascular risk," he tells Shots. "I think that was sufficient to justify a warning. Why withhold that from the patient?"
Dr. Sidney Wolfe, of the Health Research Group, tells Shots that his consumer advocacy organization plans to petition the FDA, asking for a strong warning on the instructions for testosterone drugs. The group also intends to ask the FDA to hold off on a long-acting, injectable form of testosterone called Aveed. The agency is expected to make a decision on the drug in February.
But at least one advocate of testosterone therapy says the evidence of risks is overblown and poorly founded. "It feels almost like it's open season on testosterone," Boston urologist Abraham Morgentaler tells Shots. "None of the studies is very impressive."
Morgentaler, author of Testosterone for Life, published by Harvard Health Books, says authors of the latest study "have made the classic mistake of confusing treatment for a condition with the condition. There's a rich literature spanning more than 20 years that shows low testosterone itself is a risk factor for cardiovascular events."
Even if there is an increased risk, it's extremely low.
He also criticizes the new study for not following patients long enough, and notes that the rate of heart attacks among testosterone users was low.
It's "high time" for a study of testosterone therapy involving a large number of men who are followed for years, Morgentaler says, similar to the Women's Health Initiative study on postmenopausal estrogen supplements.
"There is potential for testosterone to be important for general health and longevity," Morgentaler says. "There's strong evidence it increases muscle strength and decreases fat — things we would associate with improved health."
But large, lengthy studies cost hundreds of millions of dollars. And in the case of estrogen replacement, that sort of research ultimately discredited the long-held belief that taking hormone supplements lowers the risk of heart attacks.

SEO is the acronym for Search Engine Optimization, and it includes all the strategies and techniques that will lead a certain website to a higher rank and a better position in the search results of a certain search engine. Nowadays, SEO and marketing are inseparable concepts. This means that you need it in order to make your business more profitable and successful.
This is the time when, no matter the field of your business, you certainly have a pretty strong competition there. In these conditions, many business owners are happy to just keep their head above the water, but this is definitely not the key to success.
The question is how can you make noticeable progress and be successful if you have a small business? We will offer you an answer that has been already tested by a multitude of small businesses: hire an SEO agency.
1. SEO is not a piece of cake
After you read a few articles on the Internet, you may think that SEO strategies are not such a big thing. In fact, who cannot deal with keyword density, put out links and things like that? The truth is that SEO strategies are a lot more complex, and a successful one requires a lot of time searching the right ways to increase your website ranking.
Moreover, it is important to understand the previous SEO techniques and know why they failed or not. This will help you understand the actual and future SEO tactics. Concepts such as keyword density are history now.
2. Save time
SEO cannot be learned overnight. If you want someone from your company to understand the technique and be good at SEO, you have to provide him with a lot of time for research and study. Taking into consideration that your employee didn't know too much about SEO before, he will probably be overwhelmed by the multitude of old strategies that are no longer actual. If you convince all of your employees to do some research about SEO and apply some SEO strategies, this is nothing but a waste of time and money. Let your employees do their jobs, and hire an SEO firm.
3. Save money
A wrong strategy will fail and all the time and money you have invested will be wasted. Moreover, you will need some SEO software tools that may seem quite affordable at a first glance, but they are expensive if you calculate the costs. Even low-cost SEO software tools are pricey, and they cannot do the job of an SEO expert. Not to mention that you will have to learn how to use them on your own.
4. Search engines' algorithms are always updated
If an algorithm is updated, this means that, most probably, some of the ranking factors have changed. This happens very often. An SEO agency will always be aware of these updates, and they will change the strategies and techniques according to every new update. Keeping up with all the updates and knowing how to improve your strategy every time is impossible if you are not an SEO expert, so don't even think to try it.
5. SEO firms use professional analytics
SEO software and tools are crucial for understanding what are the suitable strategies for your website. You have to know what works and what does not work for you in order to improve your SEO tactics. Professional SEO analytics are expensive and hard to use; that's why you should think about hiring an SEO firm.
6. SEO experience is irreplaceable
No matter how hard you try to do quality research and improve your SEO strategy, you will never have the experience of an SEO agency. This experience is vital for providing successful SEO tactics and integrating your business into the search engine systems.
7. SEO agencies provide you quality competitor analysis
Competitor analysis is very important for the success of your business and for creating the best strategies. Keep in mind that an SEO agency has a lot of experience and it knows what worked in the case of other businesses in your field and what didn't. Moreover, they have a complete image of the area of your small business, and they know who your competitors are. If downloading your competitors' back link profile and analyzing their topical authority sounds strange to you, you should hire an SEO firm.
8. SEO experts bring you relevant traffic that increases sales
Some SEO techniques, such as link building, may have an effect on your page ranking, but they do not improve your sales. Furthermore, link building is not such an important ranking factor nowadays, because it can be easily manipulated. On the other hand, SEO experts are able to bring you relevant traffic, which has a high conversion potential. This means that those who are accessing your website are actually interested in the services you provide, and they are potential clients.
9. SEO firms increase your credibility and popularity
Being regarded as a credible company and gaining popularity are two essential keys to success. Applying the right SEO tactics means a lot of work, but it leads to success. SEO experts can make your business well-known on social media, increase your website ranking and so on. Of course, this is the result of a lot of hard work, knowledge, and experience. As you cannot have all these in an instant, it is better for you and your business to hire an SEO firm that will do all the hard work for you.
10. Weak and Negative SEO techniques will downgrade your website rank
The Internet is packed with negative SEO techniques, such as adding invisible text, spam links, and keyword stuffing that you may be tempted to try if you see that other strategies do not work. Even though all these can increase your page rank on the short term, they are very dangerous on the long term. Search engines will penalize you and your website rank will be downgraded. Then, it will be much harder to upgrade your page rank once again, so don't even think of trying these techniques.
