This 11 Year-Old's Lemonade Stand Just Landed An $11 MILLION Deal.
Mikaila Ulmer was only four years old when she became an entrepreneur. It all began when her family urged her to enter the Austin Lemonade Day competition. Mikaila borrowed a recipe from her granny's Helen 1940 cookbook to make her now famous BeeSweet Lemonade using flaxseed and honey.
The little girl was terrified of bees after getting stung. She turned a negative and turned it into a positive when she began learning all there was to know about bees and their importance to both the environment and our survival. The 11-year-old made bees and her lemonade her passion. She now champions the survival of bees and donates part of her proceeds to save the bee population.
Mikaila appeared on the show Shark's Tank, asking for investors in her company BeeSweet Lemonade. Her drinks are now selling at health food stores.
The mini entrepreneur was invited to the White House.
Mikaila uses honey from local farms in her native Texas. She currently carries four flavours: lemonade original mint, lemonade with ginger, lemonade with iced tea, and lemonade with prickly pear.
Watch the little girl's lecture on how to run a business.


And so, we reach the final of our new podcast reveals!
Welcome to Off the Wall – An Orbital Exhibition Guide.
Since our initial move to Great Newport Street and the launch of our Exhibition space, we've had the delight of sharing many varied & brilliant gallery shows with you. Until now, this experience has been limited to those fortunate enough to visit the store itself.
We are now proud to publish what we hope will be the first in a long line of Exhibition Guides. Each Guide will be hosted by the curator, a member of Orbital staff, or a relevant knowledgable individual. We'll be presenting these as downloadable podcasts, as well as posting a video with images from the exhibitions on Youtube.
In this episode, Jason Atomic & Strictly Kev talk us through "Beyond 2000AD – The Broader Cultural Impact of The Galaxy's Greatest Comic".
Featuring memorabilia, original artwork, and pieces from the ever expanding influence of it's 40 year history, join us as we showcase this thrill-power overloaded exhibition!
You can subscribe to Off The Wall on our iTunes podcast feed, where you can also leave us a review, and follow all Orbital Podcast activity on Twitter.


People with chronic lung disease (such as emphysema) experience shortness of breath, poor exercise capacity and reduced quality of life. Each of these problems can be combatted with a program of exercise and education known as pulmonary rehabilitation. Although many hospitals offer pulmonary rehabilitation programs, most suitable candidates do not attend (or attend but do not complete) the program. This situation can be attributed to various barriers, such as: travel time, travel costs, fatigue, inconvenience, and disruption to daily activities.
Novel methods of delivering pulmonary rehabilitation have been developed, such as using internet-based technologies to administer the program in the home, known as 'tele-rehabilitation'. There are various models of tele-rehabilitation, including: in-home videoconferencing, videoconferencing from a central centre to a satellite centre, mobile phone-based exercise programs, a combination of videoconferencing and telephone support, and web-based self-monitoring. Pulmonary tele-rehabilitation is of interest because it may increase convenient and equitable access to services, whilst reducing barriers associated with attending centre-based programs for people with chronic lung disease.
Substantial evidence now suggests that pulmonary tele-rehabilitation is as effective as face-to-face, hospital-based pulmonary rehabilitation. However, many hospitals have not implemented pulmonary tele-rehabilitation because of uncertainty about the willingness and ability of people with chronic respiratory disease (who are mainly older people) to use the technologies involved.
A recent multi-centre survey of pulmonary rehabilitation participants investigated their willingness and readiness to use the tele-rehabilitation format. The survey was high quality with a 100% response rate across 9 sites, giving a sample of over 250 respondents.
92% of respondents accessed at least one technological device, of whom 85% reported regularly using mobile phones and 70% regularly used a computer or tablet. 57% of respondents self-rated their technology skill competence as good and 60% were willing to use telerehabilitation.
This is good news for people with chronic lung disease, because it will encourage hospitals to invest in the infrastructure to offer pulmonary tele-rehabilitation, because they can expect an ongoing and growing proportion of candidates who will be willing (either immediately or after some training) to use that format.

Q: Application Controller not being executed when accessing domain without redirect in router.rb to default locale Using locale in my rails app. I have the following routes.rb
scope ":locale", locale: /#{I18n.available_locales.join("|")}/ do
    root to: 'static_pages#home'
    devise_for :users, :controllers => { :registrations => :registrations }

    resources :blogs do
        resources :comments
    end

    get 'tags/:tag', to: 'blogs#index', as: :tag
    resources :users
    get '/users/subregion_options' => 'users#subregion_options'

    resources "contacts", only: [:new, :create]
    match '/crew',    to: 'static_pages#crew',    via: 'get'

    ....
end

match '*path', to: redirect("/#{I18n.locale}/%{path}"), constraints: lambda { |req| !req.path.starts_with? "/#{I18n.default_locale}/" }, via: 'get'

I would like the user accessing the page to get redirected to the locale depending on language browser settings (http header). This all works - basically. However, accessing  localhost:3000/ application_controller.rb is not being called -therefore the set_locale is not being executed and that means the user ends up with the welcome rails page
How can I force the set_locale to be called?
class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base

    before_filter :set_locale

    def set_locale
      if params[:locale].blank?
        redirect_to "/#{extract_locale_from_accept_language_header}"
      else
        I18n.locale = params[:locale]
      end
    end

private
    def extract_locale_from_accept_language_header
        case request.env['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE'].try(:scan, /^[a-z]{2}/).try(:first).try(:to_sym)
      when 'en'
        'en'
      when 'de'
        'de'
      when 'de-at'
        'de'
      when 'de-ch'
        'de'
      else
        'en'
      end

    end

    def default_url_options(options = {})
         {locale: I18n.locale}
   end

A: I have somehow resolved the issue (not entirely sure if that is the most elegant way), by creating a redirect to trigger set locale:
In my routes.rb I added the following outside the locale scope:
root to: 'static_pages#redirect'

Here the full version
scope ":locale", locale: /#{I18n.available_locales.join("|")}/ do
match '',    to: 'static_pages#home', :as => 'home',    via: 'get''
devise_for :users, :controllers => { :registrations => :registrations }

resources :blogs do
    resources :comments
end

get 'tags/:tag', to: 'blogs#index', as: :tag
resources :users
get '/users/subregion_options' => 'users#subregion_options'

resources "contacts", only: [:new, :create]
match '/crew',    to: 'static_pages#crew',    via: 'get'

....
end

I do have only one root now. I also changed the root_to to match within the locale scope, using :as => home so I can refer to it in link_to from the views as home_path.
So when user enters the xxxx.com - he/she will end up in redirect which does the following:
class StaticPagesController < ApplicationController
  def redirect
    redirect_to home
  end

  def home
  end

Since the locale is blank it will now check for locale in http header and if users preferred language does exist he/she will get directed to the right page/language. For subsequent requests (i.e.: when user clicks a link) the locale will be read out from the URL parameter.
If there's a more elegant solution to this feel free to answer - points are still up for grabs.

Home Physicians Physician Assistance for Western Pennsylvania
Physician Assistance for Western Pennsylvania
By Sandra Caffo
Quality care is what people expect to receive from physicians. However, we don't likely think about what might impact a physician's ability to provide this care. Doctors are part of a profession that is one of the most respected in this country – and, indeed, all around the world. As difficult as it is to get into and complete medical school, that difficulty often escalates once the physician begins to live with the day-to-day, 24/7 pressures of being a doctor.
A recent article in Healthcare Finance News reported that more physicians feel the stresses of their profession than ever before and that the impact of that stress is often underestimated. Not only did 87 percent of respondents to a Physician Wellness survey say they were moderately-to-severely stressed/burned out on an average day, but also 63 percent said they felt more stressed out than they were three years ago.
The modern physician faces questions from all sides including: Are his or her care choices medically appropriate … efficient … cost-effective? How is the Affordable Care Act going to impact where and how physicians work? Physicians face increasing complexity in treatment decisions, along with decreases in autonomy and control. Frustration can seem an inevitable byproduct.
In 2008, UPMC first addressed this issue by starting a physician assistance services program for its physicians. As a hospital system that employs 3,000 physicians, it made sense to develop a systematic program that could help physicians better manage their demanding lives at work and at home, while also helping physician leaders and health systems to address the impact of negative workplace behavior. Its aim remains constant – to assure a culture of collaboration, safety, and success.
"Physicians don't ask for help," said Anna M. Roman, Senior Vice President, Administrative Services and Physician Relations for UPMC, and one of the creators of the UPMC program. "And they would never use a traditional EAP (employee assistance program) because they wouldn't think it would be credible, because it wouldn't understand the special demands on physicians. That's why a very specific EAP with an intervention program for physicians was needed."
Surveys have shown that physicians are more prone to depression, have higher rates of suicide and have higher rates of the divorce than the general population. "I like to say physicians are normal people, but with bigger issues," said Roman. "This program gives them an opportunity to go for help at someplace safe."
To meet an increasing national demand for such services, UPMC WorkPartners – through its affiliated LifeSolutions Employee Assistance Program (the EAP for physicians) – is now offering the UPMC physician assistance services program to all physician practices and health care organizations that would want to purchase it.
When UPMC first created the program it concentrated on providing physician support and addressing problematic physician behavior. Physician onboarding was added later with a focus on identifying interpersonal skills and that will support successful adaptation to a hospital or a health care organization's culture.
Taken together, these programs span the employment cycle of a physician – from the initial adjustment phase to successfully practicing within the system.
A physician assistance service is only effective if it helps create a culture of collaboration in a healthcare organization. A respectful work environment can lead to a reduction in medical errors, and improve staff retention. Recruiting and retaining physicians now represents a significant investment in time and money. It has been estimated that the cost of recruiting a physician, combined with salary guarantees and practice set-ups can range from $300,000 to $800,000.
A survey conducted by the Mayo Clinic revealed that physicians struggle to find a satisfying work-life balance, and, as a group, suffer from high levels of emotional exhaustion. Helping physicians understand how to maintain strong family relationships in the face of work-related challenges is a major challenge for any physician assistance service.
When a physician's behavior is problematic, meeting expectations requires active problem-solving strategies. It is also essential that the program work with the physician to correct the behavior.
Educating physician leadership to understand the problematic physician behavior in the context of the psychosocial challenges of medicine is an equally important component of the program. Physician onboarding provides an opportunity for an organization to convey its values and expectations, and to identify opportunities for the physician to integrate into the culture. Physician onboarding emphasizes that health care organization's value interpersonal skills, along with clinical expertise.
Because the modern health care landscape continues to evolve, physicians, physician leaders and health care organizations need to have the confidence they can successfully deal with the temporary challenges and setbacks which can negatively impact performance over time. Physician assistance services can be used to create a resilient culture that is crucial to success.

These wonderful three Bulgarian peas in a pot came into our life through one of those moments when we yet again got lost on instagram looking through endless pics of people on holiday - their brekkie, lunches and dinners, still lives, nature shots and so on 😊. While dreamily drifting off here and there, slightly overloaded with images pouring into our mind... we were suddenly caught by a pic of three gorgeous "almost" identical girls exploring some cool and original spot somewhere Upstate New York. We quickly went to explore what "Triplet Approved" is about and were happy to find that it is right up our alley! Following their hunger for travel they brought into life their website as a collection of their experiences - a space where to reflect on past adventures, "slow life" places, conversations, visual impressions, and ideas that inspire them. Find out more below!
You seem to be travelling to many beautiful places. What has been your absolute highlight?
It's tough to pick one… Different trips and experiences stand out for different reasons. We loved the end-of-the-world, hippy and carefree vibe of Santa Teresa, Costa Rica. We've had crazy adventures meeting locals and camping in Puerto Rico. Last summer, we spent a fantastic weekend in a house in Arezzo, Italy (in Tuscany), eating homemade pasta and sampling bottle after bottle of amazing wine.
From your stories, we can tell you like it off the beaten track. Can you tell us some of your favourite hangouts in your current home town New York for our readers that like to stay far away from tourist crowds?
Where do you go to calm down from this busy city and get inspired?
We love doing quick getaways to Upstate New York. You'd be surprised how beautiful those parts of New York State are and how easily one can escape. We'll rent a beautiful house in the woods, gather a group of friends and spend a relaxing weekend cooking, sitting by the fire and playing board games.
We love live music. Is there a cool bar in Brooklyn that you can recommend for good concerts?
One place we love is the bar FourFiveSix in Brooklyn. They have amazing live jazz every Thursday. Their veggie lasagna is solid and their drinks are stiff!
You mentioned that you spent your childhood summers at your grandparents' house in a Bulgarian mountain village. We have always wanted to go explore the nature of Bulgaria, do you have some tips on where to go?
When it comes to nature in Bulgaria, you really can't go wrong. Bulgaria has stunning, diverse nature and a really long history, so there's a lot to see there. Pirin is known as our most beautiful mountain, so we think it's worth a visit. We're also partial to Rhodope mountain and Kovachevica – the breath-taking village where our grandmother was born. We strongly recommend Melnik as well – a beautiful town in Pirin that's peppered with cultural monuments.

No. 6 Villanova tops Penn for Big 5 win
Dustin Satloff / Getty Images Sport / Getty
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Collin Gillespie scored 26 points, Brandon Slater had 16 and No. 6 Villanova avoided a second straight court-storming at Penn with a 71-56 win Wednesday night.
The last time the two Big 5 schools played at the Palestra in 2018, the Ivy League Quakers pulled off one of the great upsets in school history with a three-point win over the reigning national champion Wildcats.
The only thing more improbable for Penn than beating Villanova once was doing it twice inside the hoops haven affectionately known as the Cathedral of college basketball.
The Wildcats (5-2) used an early 13-0 run that gave them a needed cushion by halftime. With former 76ers coach Brett Brown watching from the bleachers, Gillespie gave him a look at a point guard that could hit 3-pointers.
Gillespie, making his 94th start over five seasons, hit four 3s in the first half and pushed back the smallest of Penn runs. He hit one for a seven-point lead, another for an 11-point lead and one more for a 16-point edge. That was good enough to hit cruise control against the Quakers (3-7).
Jordan Dingle led Penn with 21 points. The Quakers did make 13 3-pointers.
The Wildcats played their second straight game at the Palestra against a Big 5 school following Sunday's 26-point win against La Salle. Coach Jay Wright's team needed the breather after opening the season with losses to No. 5 UCLA and No. 2 Purdue and a win against No. 13 Tennessee.
Villanova, Penn, Saint Joseph's, La Salle and Temple have long had rivalry games intertwined in the fabric of Philly sports. The Big 5 — a name coined by Philadelphia Inquirer sports writer Herb Good — was officially formed in 1954 and the schools started round-robin play for "City Series" bragging rights in 1955. The Big 5 really took off as a basketball treasure in the 1960s when games were televised and a few years of established round-robin plays got bragging rights rolling. All the city games were played at the Palestra, the compact gym on Penn's campus.
Whatever the series once meant to the city has all but evaporated as Villanova grew under Wright into a national power. Streamers and rollouts — banners that poked fun at the opposing team — have gone the way of the set shot. The Palestra wasn't even full for this one, and probably for good reason after Penn shot 7 for 25 in the first half.
The building came alive briefly early in the second half when Clark Slajchert buried a 3-pointer, hit another basket and Penn forced a shot-clock violation that made it 43-34. Max Martz hit a 3 with 5:16 left that kept it a nine-point game.
The Wildcats had won a city-record 25 straight games before it lost to Penn in 2018 and hasn't lost a Big 5 game again over that span, sucking the life out of the city series.
Villanova: The schedule tightens as the Wildcats head to Madison Square Garden on Tuesday to play Syracuse in the Jimmy V Classic. Then a Dec. 12 game against No. 4 Baylor, a game the national champion Bears won in last season's Sweet 16. Villanova also opens Big East play this month against Creighton and Xavier.
Penn: The Quakers fell to 0-3 this season against Top 25 teams and play the next three games against Temple, Saint Joseph's and La Salle.
Villanova: Play Saturday at the Pavilion against Saint Joseph's. Long live the Big 5? The Hawks haven't won in the series since 2011.
Penn: Play Saturday at Temple.

Claims against doctors soar by 20% in "record year" for Medical Defence Union
Posted by Nick Hilborne
Compensations payments are "spiralling"
The pre-Jackson rush led the Medical Defence Union (MDU) to report a 20% surge in compensation claims in 2013 – what it has described as a "record year". Claims against dentists rose by 10%.
Dr Christine Tomkins, chief executive of the MDU, said: "We fully support the legal costs reforms that came in to effect in April 2013, but in the short term we have seen claimants' solicitors rushing to notify claims under the old arrangements, prolonging the disproportionately high costs the legal changes are intended to address."
Dr Tomkins said 2013 was the busiest year in the MDU's 128-year history, with over 33,000 calls from members to its advice line being answered and a "record number of new claims files" opened.
"A major factor in the increasing demand for our services was the surge we saw in the number of new claims against our members," she said.
"We are hopeful that in the longer term the changes will see a reduction in the large sums paid to claimants' lawyers."
Dr Tomkins said there was some evidence this was starting to happen, with the numbers of claims being notified against dentists "slowing slightly" towards the end of 2013.
"We hope this trend will continue and spread to medical claims," she said. "Compensation payments are also spiralling and we are working at government level to effect changes to control claims inflation so damages payments are affordable, sustainable and fair for all parties."
In the MDU annual report for 2013, Dr Tomkins said the union had expanded its in-house legal department, instructing in-house lawyers on 30% more advisory and claims files than in the previous year.
"This avoided the need to instruct external solicitors in these cases and meant that, despite more members seeking our assistance, the overall spend on advisory legal costs continued to reduce."
The overall legal spend for discretionary and insured claims rose from £25.1m in 2012 to £26.9m in 2013. Dr Tomkins added that the MDU successfully defended 70% of negligence claims against doctors.

Ani-Care Animal Shelter put out a call for more volunteers and food donations this week to cope with a dog population that's growing by the day at the facility between Ontario and Nyssa.
ONTARIO – Bursting at the kennels, Ani-Care Animal Shelter put out a call this week for help.
The organization had 59 dogs as of late Friday, and shelter operator Amanda Grosdidier said more dogs had been turning up each day.
The dogs include strays and lost pets, but also dogs abandoned or surrendered to be rehomed.
Plus, Grosdidier said, there are three litters of puppies that need homes.
Springtime often produces an influx of stray dogs, she said. People get busy and may not keep a close eye on their pets, while the improving weather and more outdoor time gives dogs opportunity to roam.
Grosdidier said Ani-Care urges dog owners to alter their dogs.
Male dogs are more likely to stick around home if they are neutered, she said. In the past week, all the male strays that showed up have been intact, she said, and some may have wandered after a female dog in heat.
While reconnecting lost pets with owners, Ani-Care also needs volunteers to help walk and care for the dogs at the shelter, new homes for adoptable pets, and monetary donations to help pay for spay and neuter procedures.
Dog food can be delivered to the shelter at 3616 Highway 201, between Ontario and Nyssa. Monetary donations for feed and other costs can donated at the shelter or via the shelter's Paypal link.
Volunteers are at the shelter daily to clean, and regular public hours are 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
For more information on how to help, contact Ani-Care through their Facebook page or call 541-709-0079.
Dogs winding up at Ani-Care in recent days include dogs now up for adoption, as well as strays and lost dogs needing to go back to their homes. These and other adoptable dogs can be viewed at the shelter or www.ani-care.com.

Zipwhip Raises $51.5M Series D to Transform Texting for Business
Series D growth round led by Goldman Sachs supports industry pioneer's ambition to text-enable the more than 200 million North American business phone numbers
SEATTLE — As the leading provider of texting for business and the original creators of the business texting industry in North America, Zipwhip is on a mission to help businesses communicate with their customers in the easiest, most convenient way possible. Before Zipwhip established ground-breaking carrier connections between wireless and landline operators in 2014, it was impossible to text a landline, VoIP or toll-free phone number. Now the full potential of business-to-consumer texting is being fully realized, with nearly 75 percent of consumers indicating they wish more businesses would use text messaging to communicate, according to recent Zipwhip research.
In support of this growing demand, today, the company announced it has raised $51.5 million in a Series D growth round led by Goldman Sachs Private Capital Investing group with participation from current investors including OpenView, M12 (formerly Microsoft Ventures) and Voyager Capital. This investment will propel Zipwhip as it continues on its path to one day text-enable the more than 200 million business phone numbers in North America. Zipwhip has made notable strides toward reaching this goal, having already text-enabled 3.3 million business phone numbers – an achievement that has driven a year-over-year revenue growth of more than 80 percent.
To continue this rapid growth, the Series D funding will be used to support an aggressive product development and expansion strategy, and substantially grow Zipwhip's engineering and leadership teams. As part of the financing, Matthew Dorr, Vice President in Goldman Sachs' Private Capital Investing group, will be joining Zipwhip's board of directors.
"Zipwhip sits at the powerful intersection of a huge addressable market, a proven history in industry innovation and an agile SaaS-based approach that will allow the company to grow and evolve for the foreseeable future," said Dorr. Hillel Moerman, Head of Goldman Sachs' Private Capital Investing group, added, "The product, team and corporate vision behind Zipwhip position the company to continue its successful trajectory. We look forward to working with Zipwhip's leadership team as they meet the growing demand for a better way for businesses and consumers to communicate."
Today, over 100 enterprise organizations rely on Zipwhip to more effectively communicate with customers. This latest funding round will allow Zipwhip to introduce new enterprise-grade software and API capabilities, while cultivating valuable partnerships, developing new integrations and expanding its channel presence.
"Zipwhip is the definition of a ten-year overnight success. Over the last decade, we've grown, evolved, then grown some more as we carve out our place as the definitive leader of texting for business," said John Lauer, co-founder and CEO of Zipwhip. "This funding allows us to continue to evolve and expand our product suite, reach new customers in new industries and educate the country – and the world – about the power of texting."
This funding comes during an inflection point for Zipwhip, which has secured a surge of new customers, expanded its product capabilities, seen extensive corporate growth and solidified its executive leadership team over the last year. This growth includes:
Software & API Customer Success: Today, over 10,000 direct customers trust Zipwhip with their business texting needs, while more than 30,000 businesses tap into Zipwhip's software solutions. The company serves a diverse set of customers spanning small shops to Fortune 500 corporations and has increased its software customer base by 40 percent year-over-year. Customers include more than 2,000 insurance agencies, nearly 150 professional sports teams such as the Seattle Seahawks, San Francisco Giants and San Antonio Spurs, along with nearly 1,000 staffing agencies and 125 major franchise brands encompassing nearly 3,000 franchisees.
Product Evolution: To date, Zipwhip has text-enabled more than 3.3 million landlines, VoIP numbers and toll-free phone numbers. This, along with key product innovations in 2018 including the release of the Zipwhip 2.0 platform and the addition of rich communication services (RCS) into the Zipwhip product suite, has fueled a year-over-year message volume growth of 262 percent.
Corporate & Employee Growth: Building on customer success and product growth, Zipwhip has also recently achieved several notable revenue and employee milestones. The more than 80 percent year-over-year revenue growth has allowed the company to bring on more than 200 new team members in the past three years to a total of more than 260 employees, requiring an expansion to a second floor within its Seattle headquarters to accommodate the additional headcount.
Executive Bench Expansion: To continue taking Zipwhip into the future, the company made several key executive appointments in 2018 – including software-as-a-service industry veteran CMO Scott Heimes who joined the company in April from SendGrid, which was recently acquired by Twilio. More recently, well-known Pacific Northwest finance figure Bob Chamberlain joined the organization as CFO while entrepreneur and experienced HR leader Kirsten Spoljaric joined as SVP of People, furthering Zipwhip's position as one of the region's most coveted startups to work for. To cap off the year, Zipwhip also brought on two new telecommunications industry veterans – Alison Billings and Paul Wheeler – to expand carrier relationships and partnerships throughout the United States and Canada.

Q: Bulma - breaking text in a tag How does one break a long line of text in a div?
I have tried css's overflow-wrap: break-word; and word-wrap:break-word; with no luck.
In this example I am using tag inside a table which has a fixed width of 300px.
https://codepen.io/will-abbott/pen/qQwMMZ

This is a very ong tag that needs to be automatically broken when it reaches the boundries of the countaining element!

This is a very ong tag that needs to be automatically broken when it reaches the boundries of the countaining element!

Final solution
I added this to Luiz's solution to achieve the desired effect that makes it behave like a normal tag:
** removed this: **
  width: 100%
** added this: **
  text-align: left;
  display: inline-block !important;

A: First of all, you should use span instead div
You can customize .tag class as setting height: auto and white-space: unset

*

*Set the height as auto. This way, the element can "grow" vertically.

*Unset the word wrapping (white-space: unset)

*Set the width as 100%, so the element will fill the column as expected.

.tag__custom {
  height: auto !important;
  white-space: unset !important;
  color: purple !important;
  width: 100%
}

/** I've used !important just to force an example. You must define the priority in your style tree */
<link href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/bulma/0.7.2/css/bulma.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/>

Branson golf courses aren't the first thing that come to mind when you think of Branson Missouri, but there are many courses well worth playing a round of 18 between days spent fishing or shopping and evenings at the theater and variety shows. Whether you want to play a casual round or are interested in Branson golf packages, you will love the incredible scenery surrounding local golf courses. From golf lessons, to simple par-3 courses, to award-winning golf courses, there is a wide variety of golfing in Branson MO.
During research of Branson golf courses, one factor to consider is the time it takes to travel to the course. Some courses are closer to downtown Branson than others, so if you're trying to squeeze in a quick round to a busy day, location might matter. The closest option is the Don Gardner Par 3 course, a 9-hole option that is located only 1 mile from Branson. The next choice is located two miles from Branson and is both a public course and offers 18 holes. The Holiday Hills Resort and Golf Course is a popular spot for people who want to play 18, but who also want to be as close to Branson as possible.
More options for golfing in Branson MO include the Thousand Hills Golf Course, located just three miles from the center of the city. This course also offers 18 holes and is a public course. Golfers won't run into the problem in Branson of not being able to find a public course. While other vacation destinations are filled with private courses where it is impossible to get a tee time, in Branson, it is still possible to play public courses. Another example is the Payne Stewart Golf Club, located just three miles from Branson. If any of these courses strike your fancy, be sure to check out Branson golf packages. These deals vary all the time, but could offer a discount if you plan on playing a lot of golf.
The list of Branson golf courses can go on and on. The Pointe Royale Village Country Club is a public course located five miles from Branson, the Branson Creek Golf Club is a public course located three miles from Branson, and Murder Rock Country Club is a public course located seven miles from Branson. Depending on your time and budget, it is possible to book a lesson if you want to work on your swing or any other aspect of your game. If you're booking Branson golf packages, sometimes they have an option to upgrade that includes a golf lesson. Keep this in mind as you plan your golf vacation in Branson.
Golfing in Branson MO is played all year long. The weather in Branson never gets too severe, in either the summer or the winter. Mild winters mean that you can play during a getaway for the holidays, and summer days don't get too hot that you'll want to stay away from the golf course. Many golfers would choose spring or fall as their favorite time to play, when the temperature is just perfect and the scenery takes on seasonal beauty. Beyond golf there are many ways to enjoy the great outdoors as well, including fishing, hiking, climbing aboard a dinner cruise, or camping.


So, it's a wrap for 2018! As we come to the end of the year, unfortunately the country is still divided about Brexit, however life goes on and many of our residents are still struggling with austerity and we will continue to do everything we can to help them through this difficult time.
As you may recall we were re-elected earlier this year in May and set ourselves some very challenging targets, some of which are our ambitious Housing Pledge to build 5,000 new homes for local people. We also pledged to improve air quality in the borough - looking at ways to protect those who live, work and visit the borough from the damaging effects of pollution. There are many more pledges we will be fulfilling - watch this space!
This week, Brentford FC announced that they have signed a contract with the London Irish Rugby Football Club to share the new Brentford Community Stadium that is currently being developed. This is great news for the borough. Both clubs have the local community at their heart and provide excellent community services for local residents, particularly encouraging young people to take part in sport. I'm sure their involvement in the borough will go from strength to strength when the new stadium opens in 2020.
On to the highlights of my last working week of the year!
We welcomed our new Chief Executive Niall Bolger this week to Hounslow and we had our first one-to-one meeting, which unsurprisingly took a couple of hours. As you can imagine, there's lots to brief Niall on to bring him up to speed. I also introduced Niall to senior officers and we all look forward to working with him in the new year.
As you know we work closely with the boroughs small to medium sized enterprises (SME's). We already work closely with the Chamber of Commerce in both Brentford and Hounslow but we want to strengthen our relationship with the Federation of Small Businesses. We've agreed that we need to do some joint work together which we are now putting in the diary for next year.
Each year, we have a tradition here at the civic centre where we invite all staff across the council to share mince pies and tea with myself, the Deputy Leader Cllr Lily Bath and Hounslow Mayor Cllr Samia Chaudhary. The Mayor and her team organised a raffle with the money going towards her chosen charities CW+ Sun and Stars Appeal at West Middlesex University Hospital and Mind. I invested heavily in the raffle but came away empty handed!
We also celebrated a member of staff's retirement after a long 38 years in the borough as a teacher - I'd like to offer my personal thanks to Lesley Chatralia for her commitment to the many young students she has taught over the years. We also celebrated another long serving member of staff's birthday, Alison Woodworth, but as a gentleman I will not reveal her age!
I had a very positive meeting with Mark Hopwood, Managing Director of Great Western Railway where we discussed opportunities to deliver a new rail station in Brentford and better links Heathrow with Feltham. We're continuously looking at ways to encourage a channel shift from cars to rail for the benefit of all.
Very early this morning I joined the Hounslow Mayor Cllr Samia Chaudhary to meet the posties at the Hounslow sorting office – it's always good fun! As you know, posties can be very outspoken and tell you how it is, which I personally like. They're a great barometer for the borough.
Later today I will be out and about in the borough meeting with residents who are concerned about security in their council housing block in Brentford, for obvious reasons I won't tell you which one, but what I can say is that we will be looking at this urgently to ensure the safety of our residents. We're committed to keeping residents safe in the borough and our Estate Police Officers and our Wardens are working hard to reassure our residents and to tackle anti-social behaviour and other crime.
I'd like to thank our council staff and volunteers who play a huge role to deliver council services day in day out. I hope you all enjoy a well-deserved, relaxing break over Christmas! I'd also like to thank our emergency services and our council staff who will continue to work over Christmas through to the New Year, as well thank all those unpaid carers including young people who do a great job in supporting their family and friends.

Usage: (originally: the olive branch held in the hand of the suppliant), supplication, entreaty.
2428 hiketēría – properly, an olive branch; (figuratively) earnest supplication for peace (relief, reconciliation), used only in Heb 5:7.
Heb 5:7: "In the days of His flesh, He offered up both prayers and supplications (2428 /hiketēría) with loud crying and tears to the One able to save Him from death, and He was heard because of His piety" (NASU).
Jesus' supplications underline His unfathomable humility in identifying with our great need!
1. an olive-branch; for suppliants approached the one whose aid they would implore holding an olive-branch entwined with white wool and fillets, to signify that they came as suppliants (cf. Trench, § 51, under the end): λαμβάνειν ἱκετηριαν, Herodotus 5, 51; ἱκετηριαν τιθέναι or προβάλλεσθαι παρά τίνι, etc.
2. equivalent to ἱκεσία, supplication (Isocrates, p. 186 d. vat.; Polybius; 2 Macc. 9:18): plural joined with δεήσεις (Polybius 3, 112, 8; singular Job 40:22, the Sept.), Hebrews 5:7.
From a derivative of the base of hikanos (through the idea of approaching for a favor); intreaty -- supplication.

Just took a job in Hyattsville MD. I'm 22 and just graduated college. From what I've been reading it seems that Silver Spring would be the best place to live but its just barely out of my price range. I'm trying to spend around 750-800 a month (with a roommate so a totals cost of 1500-1600). I'm not very familiar with the area so I'm quite lost. I can deal with an hour - hour and half commute. I have my own car but wouldnt mind giving public transportation a shot to avoid sitting in traffic. I want an area that has shops, restaurants, bars, and an area where people are close in age and are loooking for the same thing, just a good urban feel where I don't have to worry about getting mugged every time I step outside. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thanks!!!
Hmm, that willingness to do a 60-90 minute one-way commute gives you some flexibility, though I'd never want to do it! If you are really willing to travel that far/long, places northwest of the DC Beltway like Rockville or Frederick become possibilities, as do places in Virginia like Manassas and Fredericksburg (use US 301 in the latter case for the commute). College Park, which is right near by, could also be a possibility.
In all seriousness, if Silver Spring is just a little bit outside your price range, you should evaluate your gas/car maintenance costs if you live further away. It is possible the money you save from living somewhere cheaper could be offset by the gas/maintenance costs and Silver Spring would still work best for you.
Is this job in Hyattsville near either a Metro Green Line and/or MARC Camden Line station? You may have some additional flexibility for location options if it is.
If Silver Spring is out of the price range, chances are, Rockville will be, as well.
Try looking at Takoma Park. I think it's pretty underrated as a fun place for young people to live.
Otherwise, you might consider looking east and north, rather than west. Maybe Beltsville, Burtonsville, Laurel, or even Ellicott City. None of those places have as much going for them as downtown Silver Spring, but they'll be a lot more affordable.
Some more thoughts - I've also taken a new job in the Washington area (actually in the District itself) and I've also been looking in the downtown Silver Spring area. Based on what I found on craigslist.com, if you want to live in/near the downtown Silver Spring area, you'll need to go to an apartment complex/tower. There are MANY apartment complexes within a reasonable walk (3/4 mile or less) of downtown Silver Spring and the Silver Spring Metro/MARC station, and some of them have 2 bedroom apartments around $1500-1600/month or a little less. Some of them even include all utilities in the rent (not an insignificant factor when you are cutting things tight).
The first site listed is the best (largest listing of complexes), and you'll pretty much see every complex available if you look at both of the first 2 sites listed. The apartments.com site can give you Google area maps that will give you an idea how far away the complex is from the Metro stop. When you search for Silver Spring apartments, restrict your search to zip code 20910.
Another useful site to check out would be StationMasters Online. This site contains good information about each Metrorail station and what's in the immediate vicinity. Here's the Silver Spring map. The core of downtown Silver Spring is between Georgia Avenue and Fenton Street near Colesville Road.
In the DC area it is generally best to use the Metro for commuting trips if possible. If your Hyattsville job is near one of the Metro Green Line stations, it is fairly easy to get there from Silver Spring; use the Red Line south to Fort Totten and then get on the Green Line towards Greenbelt. The trip shouldn't take more than about 15 minutes at rush hours. If your workplace isn't near a Green Line station, it is still possible one of the Metrobus routes travels between Silver Spring and your work location (or pretty close to it). From looking at the WMATA (Metro) Maryland system map, it appears the F4 or F6 bus routes might get you to where you need to go. Bus timetables can be found on the main WMATA website.

Incidentally, I concur with Takoma Park. It is a quieter area than Silver Spring but still is fairly nice. It isn't far from Silver Spring either.
I am moving to the DC area. I will work at Walter Reed Medical Center. Is Silver Spring a good area to live in? I am looking at the Enclave Apartments any comments?
I'm currently living in NYC moving to Maryland in January I have friends in Laurel, New Carrolton and Alexandria. I'm looking for affordable cities near DC, public transportation, good schools and near hospitals. I'm not sure which county will work for me PG, Anne Arundel or Howard. Please reply w your inputs.
I'm not sure which county will work for me PG, Anne Arundel or Howard.
It depends on where you will be working, and whether you can get there by public transit.
Laurel and New Carrolton are fairly affordable, But Laurel is probably safer and has newer housing. Laurel has MARC trains into DC if that's what you need, and New Carrolton has a Metro stop. For Howard County you generally need a car but there are commuter buses to DC.
I've got nothing against Silver Spring, but Hyattsville is that bad to consider one hour to one hour and half commute? I'd always take 15 minutes commute and an occasional venture out for fun, but some people seem to always take the other way around.
I've seen someone who got the job in Rockville was looking for every other place except for Rockville, and someone working in McLean looking for places like somewhere in Maryland. Usually they are priced out but in this case, it's not.
Too bad, crime is really killing PG.

Biografia
Nato al norte di Parigi, a Villiers-le-Bel, iniziò la sua carriera artistica come pittore nella capitale, si iscrisse alla scuola di belle arti e insieme a Charles Nègre, Jean-Lèon Gérôme, Roger Fenton e Henri Le Secq frequentò nel 1842 l'atelier di Paul Delaroche.

Espose nei salon parigini nel 1848 e nel 1853, ma divenne famoso in seguito al suo interessamento per la fotografia. Già nel 1848 si interesso al dagherotipo e al calotipo. Nel 1850 si interessò al procedimento del collodio su vetro, apportando anche alcuni miglioramenti, pubblicati nel suo trattato. Partecipò nel 1851 alla Mission héliographique, il cui scopo fu quello di documentare i monumenti e gli edifici francesi da salvare e restaurare.

Per ottenere l'immagine desiderata, utilizzò e mise a punto delle tecniche fotografiche per superare i limiti dei materiali del periodo. Rinomate e discusse furono le fotografie marine del 1856, riprese durante il suo soggiorno nel Mediterraneo, dove utilizzò la tecnica della "stampa combinata" per rendere al meglio il cielo e il mare. Fotografò principalmente nelle ore precedenti il tramonto, per accentuare i contorni e il volume delle nuvole. Alle sue fotografie si ispirarono alcuni pittori, tra cui Gustave Courbet, che studiarono la luce e i toni delle formazioni nuvolose.

Fu uno dei fondatori della Société héliographique e della Société française de photographie. Intorno al 1860 fu compagno di viaggio di Alexandre Dumas e si trovò a Palermo al passaggio dei Mille. Documentò la devastazione causata dell'insurrezione popolare, in vedute deserte di uomini ma piene di rovine.

Non ritornera in Francia, dopo una sosta a Malta, accetta una missione per documentare la guerre d'Oriente (Mont-Liban), viaggia verso Damasco, vive qualche mesi nei ruderi di Baalbeck poi si trasferì in Egitto, Alessandra poi Cairo dove divenne in 1863 istruttore di disegno nell'academia militare e vi morì nel 1882.

Q: Async and Await - How is order of execution maintained? I am actually reading some topics about the Task Parallel Library and the asynchronous programming with async and await. The book "C# 5.0 in a Nutshell" states that when awaiting an expression using the await keyword, the compiler transforms the code into something like this:
var awaiter = expression.GetAwaiter();
awaiter.OnCompleted (() =>
{
var result = awaiter.GetResult();

Let's assume, we have this asynchronous function (also from the referred book):
async Task DisplayPrimeCounts()
{
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
Console.WriteLine (await GetPrimesCountAsync (i*1000000 + 2, 1000000) +
" primes between " + (i*1000000) + " and " + ((i+1)*1000000-1));
Console.WriteLine ("Done!");
}

The call of the 'GetPrimesCountAsync' method will be enqueued and executed on a pooled thread. In general invoking multiple threads from within a for loop has the potential for introducing race conditions.
So how does the CLR ensure that the requests will be processed in the order they were made? I doubt that the compiler simply transforms the code into the above manner, since this would decouple the 'GetPrimesCountAsync' method from the for loop.

A:
The call of the 'GetPrimesCountAsync' method will be enqueued and executed on a pooled thread.

No. await does not initiate any kind of background processing. It waits for existing processing to complete. It is up to GetPrimesCountAsync to do that (e.g. using Task.Run). It's more clear this way:
var myRunningTask = GetPrimesCountAsync();
await myRunningTask;

The loop only continues when the awaited task has completed. There is never more than one task outstanding.

So how does the CLR ensure that the requests will be processed in the order they were made?

The CLR is not involved.

I doubt that the compiler simply transforms the code into the above manner, since this would decouple the 'GetPrimesCountAsync' method from the for loop.

The transform that you shows is basically right but notice that the next loop iteration is not started right away but in the callback. That's what serializes execution.

A: Just for the sake of simplicity, I'm going to replace your example with one that's slightly simpler, but has all of the same meaningful properties:
async Task DisplayPrimeCounts()
{
    for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
    {
        var value = await SomeExpensiveComputation(i);
        Console.WriteLine(value);
    }
    Console.WriteLine("Done!");
}

The ordering is all maintained because of the definition of your code.  Let's imagine stepping through it.

*

*This method is first called

*The first line of code is the for loop, so i is initialized.

*The loop check passes, so we go to the body of the loop.

*SomeExpensiveComputation is called.  It should return a Task<T> very quickly, but the work that it'd doing will keep going on in the background.

*The rest of the method is added as a continuation to the returned task; it will continue executing when that task finishes.

*After the task returned from SomeExpensiveComputation finishes, we store the result in value.

*value is printed to the console.

*GOTO 3; note that the existing expensive operation has already finished before we get to step 4 for the second time and start the next one.

As far as how the C# compiler actually accomplishes step 5, it does so by creating a state machine.  Basically every time there is an await there's a label indicating where it left off, and at the start of the method (or after it's resumed after any continuation fires) it checks the current state, and does a goto to the spot where it left off.  It also needs to hoist all local variables into fields of a new class so that the state of those local variables is maintained.
Now this transformation isn't actually done in C# code, it's done in IL, but this is sort of the morale equivalent of the code I showed above in a state machine.  Note that this isn't valid C# (you cannot goto into a a for loop like this, but that restriction doesn't apply to the IL code that is actually used.  There are also going to be differences between this and what C# actually does, but is should give you a basic idea of what's going on here:
internal class Foo
{
    public int i;
    public long value;
    private int state = 0;
    private Task<int> task;
    int result0;
    public Task Bar()
    {
        var tcs = new TaskCompletionSource<object>();
        Action continuation = null;
        continuation = () =>
        {
            try
            {
                if (state == 1)
                {
                    goto state1;
                }
                for (i = 0; i < 10; i++)
                {
                    Task<int> task = SomeExpensiveComputation(i);
                    var awaiter = task.GetAwaiter();
                    if (!awaiter.IsCompleted)
                    {
                        awaiter.OnCompleted(() =>
                        {
                            result0 = awaiter.GetResult();
                            continuation();
                        });
                        state = 1;
                        return;
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        result0 = awaiter.GetResult();
                    }
                state1:
                    Console.WriteLine(value);
                }
                Console.WriteLine("Done!");
                tcs.SetResult(true);
            }
            catch (Exception e)
            {
                tcs.SetException(e);
            }
        };
        continuation();
    }
}

Note that I've ignored task cancellation for the sake of this example, I've ignored the whole concept of capturing the current synchronization context, there's a bit more going on with error handling, etc.  Don't consider this a complete implementation.

\section{Introduction}
The Standard-Model Extension (SME) can be regarded as an effective
generalized framework to accommodate possible effects of suppressed
 CPT and Lorentz violation. The SME comprises two different sectors,
 the minimal sector with operators of mass dimension lower or equal to
 four~\cite{min}, and the nonminimal sector with higher mass dimensional
 operators~\cite{nonmin}.  Several bounds have been given using ultrahigh
 sensitivity experiments which have allowed to test various predictions of Lorentz
 breakdown in the standard model of particles
and gravity~\cite{datatables}.

A key feature that distinguishes nonminimal models of Lorentz violation
 from minimal ones is the indefinite metric that arises due to the higher
 time derivative terms. The indefinite metric, as well known, introduces
 a pseudo unitarity relation for the $S$ matrix, which can imply the loss
 of conservation of probability. Recently it has been shown that by
 adopting a Lee-Wick prescription~\cite{Lee-Wick}, it is possible to
 have a consistent unitary theory~\cite{unitarity}.

 The renormalization of quantum field theories incorporating
 Lorentz violation can be modified due to radiatively induced operators
having different structures not initially present in the original
 Lagrangian~\cite{asymp}. As a general statement, one can
 say that one-loop Lorentz-violating corrections
 may have a more dramatic effect on asymptotic states that they do
 have in the typical case. The modified
 asymptotic space has been mainly shown in computations
  for the mass pole of two-point functions.
 In this work we study the renormalization with particular focus
 on finite radiative corrections associated to monminimal terms and the effect of
 modifying the renormalization conditions due to Lorentz violation.
\section{The Yukawa-like model}
Consider the Lagrangian density~\cite{ren}
 \begin{eqnarray}
\mathcal L=\frac{1}{2}\partial_{\mu} \phi \partial^{\mu}\phi
-\frac 1 2M^2\phi^2
+\bar{\psi}\left(i\sla{\partial}-m -\bar{\alpha} m\sla{n}  \right)\psi +g_2\bar{\psi}
\sla{n}(n\cdot \partial)^2\psi +g\bar{\psi} \phi \psi\,,   \nonumber \\
\end{eqnarray}
where $n^{\mu}$ is a preferred four-vector, $g_2$ is a constant with dimension of $(\text mass)^{-1}$
and $g$ is a typical Yukawa coupling.
As a first example of quantum corrections in our model,
we study the contribution with two external scalar legs depicted at
Fig.~\ref{Fig1}.
\begin{figure}
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[width=1.5in]{Fig.eps}
\end{center}
\caption{Scalar self-energy loop diagram.}
\label{Fig1}
\end{figure}

It is represented by the integral
\begin{eqnarray}
i\Pi(p)&=&-\frac{g^2}{2}\phi(-p)\phi(p)
\int\frac{d^4k}{(2\pi)^4}
  \frac{ {\rm Tr}  \left(  \left(  Q_{\mu} \gamma^{\mu}+m \right)
(R_{\nu} \gamma^{\nu}+m)\right)}{(Q^2-m^2)(R^2-m^2)}\,,
\end{eqnarray}
where we define
\begin{eqnarray}\label{QR}
Q_{\mu}(k)&=&k_{\mu}-\bar{\alpha} m n_{\mu}-g_2n_{\mu}(n\cdot k)^2\,, \\
R_{\mu}(p+k)&=&p_{\mu}+k_{\mu}-\bar{\alpha} m n_{\mu}-g_2n_{\mu}
(n\cdot (p+k))^2\,.
\end{eqnarray}
We can write the correction to the scalar propagator up to second-order in $p$
as
\begin{eqnarray}\label{Pi}
\widetilde \Pi (p)&=&m^2 q_0+p^2q_1+(n\cdot p)^2q_n\,,
\end{eqnarray}
where
\begin{eqnarray}\label{q_0}
q_0&=&-\frac{i}{48\pi^2g_2^2m^2}
+\frac{i}{16\pi^2}
\left(2(3\gamma_E-1)-0.46    \right.  \\   && \left. -3\ln \left(\frac{g_2^2m^2}{4}\right)\right)  \nonumber \,,
\\ \label{q_1}
q_1&=&-\frac{ i}{12\pi^2}\left(-5+6\gamma_E  -0.46-3\ln\left(\frac{g_2^2m^2}{4}\right)     \right)  \,,
\\ \label{q_n}
q_n&=&\frac{i}{\pi^2}\,.
\end{eqnarray}
The renormalized scalar two-point function is given by
\begin{eqnarray}\label{renPi}
(\Gamma_{\phi,R}^{(2)})^{-1}=p^2-M^2+\Pi_R(p)\,,
\end{eqnarray}
with
\begin{eqnarray}
\Pi_R(p)=p^2A_{\phi} +m^2 B_{\phi}+(n\cdot p)^2C_{\phi}\,,
\end{eqnarray}
where $A_{\phi} $, $B_{\phi}$ and $C_{\phi}$ are constants that can be deduced from
the expressions~(\ref{q_0}),~(\ref{q_1}),~(\ref{q_n}) being
\begin{eqnarray}
iA_{\phi}&=&-2g^2q_1  \,,  \nonumber \\
iB_{\phi}&=&-2g^2q_0 \,,\nonumber\\
 iC_{\phi}&=&-2g^2q_n\,.
\end{eqnarray}
We consider the ansatz $\bar P^2_{\phi}= p^2- { M}^2_{{\rm ph}}+\bar y(n\cdot p)^2$
in terms of the two unknown constants $M_{{\rm ph}}$ and $\bar y$,
Both constants can be determined
using the renormalization condition
\begin{eqnarray}\label{scalarcond}
(\Gamma_{\phi,R}^{(2)})^{-1}|_{\bar P_{\phi}^2=0}=0\,.
\end{eqnarray}
Hence, from (\ref{renPi}) replacing the value of $p^2$
and using the condition (\ref{scalarcond}), we arrive at the equation
\begin{eqnarray}
0&=&{ M}^2_{{\rm ph}}   -\bar y(n\cdot p)^2-M^2+  A_{\phi}
\left({ M}^2_{{\rm ph}}   -\bar y(n\cdot p)^2\right) +B_{\phi}m^2+C_{\phi}(n\cdot p)^2\,. \nonumber \\
\end{eqnarray}
Due to the independence of each term, we find the two constants
\begin{eqnarray}
{ M}^2_{{\rm ph}} =\frac{(M^2-B_{\phi}m^2)}{(1+A_{\phi})}\,, \qquad \bar y =\frac{C_{\phi}}{1+A_{\phi}}\,,
\end{eqnarray}
and in consequence also the scalar pole mass $\bar P_{\phi}^2$ which
dictates how asymptotic states propagate.
Substituting the above expressions in Eq.~(\ref{renPi}) and using the normalization condition
\begin{eqnarray}
\frac{d(\Gamma_{\phi,R}^{(2)})^{-1}}{d\bar P^2_{\phi}}|_{\bar P^2_{\phi}=0}=Z_{\phi}^{-1}\,,
\end{eqnarray}
we identify
the finite wave function renormalization constant $Z_{\phi}^{-1}=1+A_{\phi}$.
\section{Conclusions}
For nonminimal Lorentz-violating models, one should, in general, expect an indefinite metric leading to a nontrivial structure of poles and a pseudo unitary relation for the $S$ matrix. Also, the nonstandard structure of radiative corrections in general
leads to a modified asymptotic space.
For the model we have focus on we have considered
 the prescription for locating the poles to be dictated by unitarity conservation requirements. We have found that some radiative corrections are improved, and in fact  they are finite in the scalar sector. The pole extraction for the Yukawa-like model has been successfully provided
 in the scalar sector.

Emirates has outlined its latest plans for boosting its presence in the lucrative European aviation market.
The flagship carrier of Dubai already flies to a range of Middle East destinations from European capitals such as London and Paris.
Now, with the French and UAE aviation authorities having only just signed an agreement to step up the number of flights between the two destinations, Emirates has revealed it is keen to secure extra landing rights in the European country.
As well as looking into the possible launch of services from Lyon, Marseilles, Nice and Toulouse, the carrier has also expressed a desire to step up the frequency of flights on existing routes.
Speaking to Arabian Business, a spokesman said: "[We look forward to further talks to continue addressing the clear need for extra capacity between the UAE and France."
Emirates was named Airline of the Year 2011 by the leading industry publication Air Transport World at a recent ceremony in Washington, DC.
