Members of Congress again are staring into the possibility of a shutdown as federal funding is set to expire Sept. 30.
Recognizing this deadline, the House on Sept. 19 advanced a continuing resolution designed to keep agencies open through Nov. 21.
“Our continuing resolution will keep government open and provide families, businesses and communities with much-needed budget certainty while we negotiate long-term funding for key priorities,” said House Appropriations Committee Chairwoman Nita Lowey (D-N.Y.). “Once the CR is enacted and the Senate advances their appropriations process, Democrats will negotiate responsible spending bills that uphold our values and give working families a better chance at a better life.”
The Senate, which has yet to consider every fiscal 2020 appropriations bill, likely will schedule a vote on the stopgap measure this week. The White House recently signaled its support for the CR.
A shutdown of federal agencies, for obvious reasons, would not be ideal, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) explained last week.
“We cannot afford to abdicate our responsibility to deliver timely funding to the critical priorities of the federal government, least of all to the men and women in uniform who keep us safe,” the leader said. “So I would urge each of my colleagues to engage in this process.”
For trucking, senators on the funding committee reported to the full chamber a fiscal 2020 transportation measure that would provide $679 million for the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.
The legislation also would prohibit funding for the enforcement of the electronic logging device mandate for livestock haulers. And, in a report accompanying the legislation, senators encouraged the Federal Highway Administration to complete a study on the impact automated vehicles have on highway infrastructure.
Additionally, transportation appropriators acknowledged a shortage of commercial drivers and encouraged FMCSA to look into ways the commercial driving workforce could be expanded.
The issue of hair testing also garnered attention. In a report accompanying a separate bill, appropriators reminded the Department of Health and Human Services of a directive that required them to produce scientific and technical guidelines for hair testing to deter usage of controlled substances. Besides directing the department to finalize such guidelines, the panel would require the secretary to provide Congress with a report.

Sharing Content in Seconds is the last session in our technical program for DirectionsLIVE, and this is definitely a case of last, but not least! This session will reinforce the concepts presented in the rest of the program, and give you some tips that you can start using immediately.
If you’re involved in any kind of major event or natural disaster – as an ArcGIS user – you know your information products are in high demand, and critical to decision making. In this scenario, we’ll look at Rapid Damage Assessment following a Cyclone Event.
Where are the areas with the most damage? Where do we need to deploy response teams? Where is help needed? What’s the progress of the field teams? Location is key in answering these questions, and the information best communicated via a map.
But it’s not as simple as just creating a map – particularly when the data is changing as rapidly as the event is unfolding, information needs to get quickly in and out of the field, and the people that need to see the up-to-date information could be the public, internal or even your executive decision makers.
There’s been shift from the one-size-fits-all GIS viewer approach to less complicated, focused maps and apps designed for the spectrum of use cases that exist in this scenario. The ArcGIS Platform supports this trend, by providing an integrated framework to rapidly deploy authoritative information products to users via your organisation’s portal, recognising that they don’t all need to have access to the same map or app.
The workflow that we’ll demonstrate includes tips for publishing your authoritative information (including Basemaps) to ArcGIS Online, tricks for streamlining the process of getting information to and from field teams using Collector for ArcGIS, and advice for deploying configurable, focused applications that leverage the same content (no data duplication, and near-real time updates) for other users.
P.S. You don’t have to be in the midst of a Cyclone to leverage these tips for sharing content – your ‘major event’ could just be that disorganised colleague not giving you enough advance notice prior to their very important field trip!

Have you ever wondered what charge is a proton? What makes it unique from the other building blocks of matter? Understanding the proton’s charge is a fundamental concept in fields such as chemistry and physics. In this article, we will delve into the basics of atomic structure, explore the details of the proton’s positive charge, and examine the importance of protonic charge in various fields of science.
Understanding the Basics: What Charge Does a Proton Hold?
Atoms are composed of three main particles: neutrons, electrons, and protons. Neutrons carry no charge, electrons have a negative charge, and protons have a positive charge.
Explanation of Proton’s Positive Charge
The proton’s charge comes from its composition of two up quarks and one down quark. Quarks are some of the smallest known particles, and each carry an electric charge of either +2⁄3 or -1⁄3. The combination of these quarks creates a positive electric charge for the proton.
Role of Proton in Creating Stable Atoms
Protons play a crucial role in creating stable atoms. The positive charge of the proton attracts the negatively charged electrons, keeping them in orbit around the nucleus. The number of protons in an atom’s nucleus determines the atom’s atomic number, which identifies the element.
The Electric Nature of the Proton: A Deep Dive into Atomic Charge
The electric charge of an atom is determined by the presence and number of electrons and protons. A neutral atom has an equal number of electrons and protons, resulting in a net charge of zero.
Overview of Electric Charges in Atoms
Atoms have three possible atomic charges: positive, negative, or neutral. A positive charge occurs when an atom loses one or more electrons, and a negative charge occurs when an atom gains one or more electrons.
In-Depth Look at Proton’s Charge
The proton’s charge, as mentioned earlier, is a result of its composition. The two up quarks each carry a charge of +2⁄3, while the down quark carries a charge of -1⁄3. The net effect is that the proton carries a positive electric charge of +1.
Relationship with Electron’s Negative Charge
The electron’s negative charge plays an essential role in neutralizing the proton’s positive charge, creating an overall neutral atom. Electrons orbit the nucleus in energy levels, with each level only capable of holding a certain number of electrons before overflowing to the next level.
Exploring Protonic Charge: Its Importance in Chemistry and Physics
The proton’s charge has several practical applications, especially in fields such as chemistry and physics.
Practical Applications of Protonic Charge
The proton’s charge is critical in the study of chemical reactions. For example, in acid-base reactions, protons are transferred between molecules, creating or breaking chemical bonds. In physics, the proton’s charge plays a part in the study of particle physics, as it is used to identify and classify subatomic particles.
Examples in Fields such as Chemical Reactions and Particle Physics Research
In chemical reactions, the proton’s charge is involved in the formation and breaking of chemical bonds. In the study of subatomic particles, researchers use the proton’s charge to identify and classify particles based on their charge.
Importance of Understanding Proton Charge in these Fields
Understanding the proton’s charge is important in both fields. In chemistry, it allows scientists to predict chemical reactions and design new compounds. In particle physics, it helps identify and classify particles based on their charges, which is an essential tool for researchers in the field.
The Proton’s Charge: Historical Discoveries and Modern Advancements
Understanding the proton’s charge has been an ongoing scientific pursuit for generations, with early research laying the foundations for modern advancements.
Historical Account of Proton’s Discovery
The proton was first discovered in 1917 by Ernest Rutherford. Rutherford observed alpha particles, which are positively charged, deflecting off a nucleus. From this, he was able to conclude that there must be a positively charged particle within the nucleus, a particle that would later be called the proton.
Scientific Discoveries and Advancements in Modern Times
Researchers today continue to expand and refine their understanding of the proton’s charge. They have discovered several previously unknown particles, including the anti-proton and delta baryon. Researchers have also developed new technologies to study the proton, such as the Large Hadron Collider.
Contributions to Our Understanding of the Proton’s Charge
The study of the proton’s charge has had a significant impact on our understanding of the universe. It has led to the discovery of new particles, provided a deeper understanding of atomic structure, and helped shape our understanding of the fundamental principles of physics.
The Proton’s Positive Charge: How It Interacts with Other Atoms and Particles
The proton’s positive charge interacts with other particles in several ways, playing an essential role in the formation of molecules and the ionization of atoms.
Role of Proton’s Positive Charge in Attracting and Repelling Other Particles
The positive charge of the proton attracts negatively charged electrons, creating stable atoms. The proton’s positive charge can also repel other protons, making it difficult to fuse atomic nuclei.
Discussion of How It Facilitates the Formation of Molecules
The attraction between the proton’s positive charge and the electron’s negative charge is responsible for the formation of chemical bonds. This attraction allows atoms to combine and form molecules, which in turn, make up all matter.
Effects of Ionization
Ionization occurs when an atom gains or loses one or more electrons, creating a charged ion. The proton’s charge is critical in the ionization process, as it determines whether an atom becomes positively charged or negatively charged.
The proton’s charge is a fundamental concept in the fields of chemistry and physics. From its discovery to modern advancements, our understanding of the proton’s positive charge has expanded and continues to do so. It plays a crucial role in the formation of atoms, chemical reactions, and particle physics research. Understanding the proton’s charge allows us to predict and manipulate chemical reactions, study particles at a microscopic level, and expand our understanding of the fundamental principles of the universe.
Summary of Key Points
- The proton holds a positive electric charge of +1, making it one of the three fundamental particles of an atom.
- The proton’s charge is essential in the formation of stable atoms and creating chemical bonds.
- Researchers use the proton’s charge to identify and classify subatomic particles.
- The study of the proton’s charge has led to numerous advancements in fields such as chemistry and particle physics.
- The proton’s charge plays a crucial role in attracting and repelling other particles, facilitating the formation of molecules, and the ionization of atoms.
Reiteration of the Importance of Understanding Proton Charge
Understanding the proton’s charge allows us to develop new technologies, predict chemical reactions, and study particles at a microscopic level. We encourage researchers and curious individuals to continue exploring the topic and apply this knowledge to further research in the field.

Ginkgo biloba is a beautiful tree. Its elegant fan-shaped leaves, which turn a vivid yellow in Autumn, are often borrowed by the world of art and design. In South-East Asia, ginkgo has a long association with Buddhist temples and the trees themselves are regarded with reverence. While small wild populations have been identified in mountain groves in South West China, ginkgo has a global distribution, due to its popularity as a cultivated tree. Its tolerance of pollution makes it particularly popular with city planners. Male trees are preferable for this purpose, however (ginkgo is dioecious, with separate male and female trees), because the edible fleshy seeds are notoriously smelly. Ginkgo is also used in traditional medicine, and Ginkgo biloba extract is a widely available dietary supplement.
Ginkgo biloba is the archetypal “living fossil” of the plant world, even if this label sometimes causes more confusion than it solves. Fossils tell us that the gross morphology of its leaves has remained stable for more than 200 million years, although a variety of associated reproductive structures have been recognised. The fossil record also tells us that ginkgoes were widespread, and found in fossil assemblages not too different ecologically from the forests they still live in today. What ancient fossils cannot tell us is very much about how ginkgoes are related to the other major plant groups.
Despite producing fleshy seeds, ginkgo is not a flowering plant. It is a gymnosperm: it produces pollen, which fertilises ovules which are not fully enclosed within an ovary. It is also notable for its motile sperm. There are three other living groups of gymnosperms – conifers, cycads and gnetophytes – and past molecular studies have tended to place ginkgo most closely with the cycads. The publication of a draft genome for Ginkgo biloba by a team of scientists at BGI, Zheijiang University and the Chinese Academy of Sciences will help to answer questions about the big picture of plant evolution.
The genome of Ginkgo biloba is huge. At more than 10 gigabases (the number of nucleotide base pairs, or DNA letters), it is 80 times larger than the genome of Arabidopsis thaliana, the flowering plant which is the standard model organism of plant biology. It is also bigger than the notoriously large maize genome, although only half the size of the enormous genome of the Norway Spruce, Picea abies.
The overall size of the genome reflects a very high proportion (more than 75%) of repetitive sequences, resulting from both gradual accumulation over deep time, and from two whole genome duplication (WGD) events. The authors suggest that the more ancient of these two WGD events is the same one that has already been recognised in all seed plants, but not seen in ferns. Since this is WGD is estimated in this paper at between 515 and 735 million years ago, before plants moved onto land, there are (as is so often the case) interesting discrepancies between the fossil and molecular stories. The second WGD is estimated to have taken place between 74 and 147 million year ago, after ginkgoes and conifers had already diverged.
Initial analysis of the 42000 predicted genes in the Ginkgo biloba genome showed notable expansion in gene families which are associated with plant defence strategies, preventing attacks from bacteria, fungi and insects. Genes for chemical responses for repelling herbivores, combined with genes for emitting volatile organic compounds which attract predators of browsing insects, are part of a sophisticated armoury which ginkgo has developed over millions of years. It is difficult to say the degree to which much these enriched defence genes are responsible for the longevity of the ginkgo group over evolutionary time, but they may be part of the bigger picture, which this new draft genome will help to reveal.

This album follows on from 2017’s hugely enjoyable The Great Collapse, which stood tall and proud as an example of deathcore that took influence from the original parameters of the genre, but had also progressed beyond it.

‘Immortal Regiment’ Commemoration of World War II Victory Day
May 14—As part of Russia’s annual celebration of Victory Day on May 9, commemorating the Soviet Union’s central role in vanquishing the Nazi threat in World War II, families display photos of relatives who had fought. Called the “Immortal Regiment,” this commemoration has come to be observed around the world and to include the honoring of all who fought to defeat Nazism.
However, of note, 27 million Russians, civilian and military, died in the war, which was then about one in every six people. Very few families were left untouched.
On May 9 this year, according to Russia’s Interior Ministry, over 1,000,000 people turned out in Moscow’s Red Square, helping to keep Russia’s Immortal Regiment alive and on the move. There were similar regiments appearing throughout the country, with over 200,000 in Novosibirsk and over 100,000 in Siberia’s Omsk. In Moscow, hundreds of thousands also took part in the 4-5 mile procession through the city center to Red Square.
In Israel, a remnant of surviving World War II Jewish war veterans gathered at Israel’s Herzl Memorial to the Second World War dead.
. As Russian President Vladimir Putin reminded Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett recently, more than two million of the Jews that the Nazis slaughtered were Russians. Unfortunately, Israeli veterans’ groups in various parts of the country generally refrained from their normal public celebrations—not from any change of heart, but, as they reported, from concern that their public presence might bring assaults down upon them.
In his remarks at the Victory Day parade in Moscow, Putin emphasized, “There is no family in Russia that was not burnt by the Great Patriotic War; its memory never fades.” In the context of the current Russian “Special Military Operation” to “demilitarize and de-Nazify” Ukraine, he said, “I am addressing our Armed Forces and Donbass militia. You are fighting for our Motherland, its future, so that nobody forgets the lessons of World War II, so that there is no place in the world for torturers, death squads and Nazis.”
President Putin also issued a profound overture to Americans, which went largely unnoticed and unreported in the U.S.: “We are aware that U.S. veterans who wanted to come to the parade in Moscow were actually forbidden to do so. But I want them to know: We are proud of your deeds and your contribution to our common victory. We honor all soldiers of the allied armies—the Americans, the English, the French, Resistance fighters, brave soldiers and partisans in China—all those who defeated Nazism and militarism.”
Putin’s message to Americans is particularly important and poignant, given the unhinged Russophobia in the U.S. and NATO countries generally, and in light of the U.S. and UK banning of the Immortal Regiment procession with portraits of veterans of World War II this year.
Commemorated in the United States
In the United States, a commemoration of the Immortal Regiment was held (despite the official U.S. government ban) on May 8, the date equivalent to May 9 in Russia (reflecting the 1945 time difference of the German surrender in Berlin) in concert with the Victory Day events in Russia and internationally. The national event was held on Zoom, and the Schiller Institute was among the invited participants.
The ceremony featured Anatoly Antonov, the Russian Ambassador to the U.S., who had spoken at the Schiller Institute’s April 9 international conference on working for a new world framework for peace, security, and economic benefit for all. Also speaking was U.S. activist Ray McGovern, of the Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity, who joined the Ambassador in singing a song in Russian.
Prior to the many Russian-American speakers who followed, two American veterans of World War II gave remarks. One was 97-year-old Al Korby, from New Jersey, a longtime activist with the LaRouche Organization, who said:
I am Alfred Korby, originally from Bayonne, N.J. when I enlisted in the U.S. Army at age 18, soon after Pearl Harbor. Bayonne today is the site of the Tear of Grief Memorial to the Struggle Against World Terrorism, a gift of the Russian Government to the USA, in memory of the victims of 9/11. I served for three years in the U.S. Army as an airplane mechanic, in the U.S. and in the Pacific Theatre.
I am honored to participate in the Immortal Regiment, and I join you to salute the memory of the war veterans whose indomitable courage and determination defeated the Nazi scourge. And I fervently hope we can rekindle the “spirit of the Elbe” for our two great nations to address the common interests of mankind again.
May our two peoples cooperate again as I and my colleagues of the international Schiller Institute (led by Helga Zepp-LaRouche) seek to establish a new Security and Development Architecture for all Nations—instead of more war.
Peace through Development. Thank you.
Following Mr. Korby, moderator Igor Kochan, referencing the Schiller Institute’s activity, introduced a video recording of a Russian folk song, performed at the Tear of Grief Memorial in December 2021, by Schiller Institute NYC Chorus soprano Michelle Erin. This annual December memorial originated in 2016, with the Schiller Institute as co-sponsor, with area police and fire departments, clerics, and others, to honor the Alexandrov Ensemble, the famous men’s chorus of the Russian Army, whose plane went down on Christmas Day 2016, as they flew on a humanitarian mission to Syria.
Three Russian-American activists visited Mr. Korby at his home May 8, and presented him with a replica of the Soviet Banner of Victory—the banner raised by the Red Army soldiers on the Reichstag building in Berlin on May 1, 1945, the day after Hitler committed suicide. They wrote on the back of a Victory Day card, “Dear Al Korby, Thank you for your service. Happy Victory Day! We remember! We celebrate! We are proud!”

More of a melodic rock act ripe for radio play, Diamond‘s members would suggest their fusion together might bring something a bit more abrasive. Yet, snuggled in the midst of an album created by a quartet that includes members of both Trapped Under Ice and Down to Nothing is a sound sweet and carefree, yet catchy and a little crunchy when necessary. Don’t Lose Your Cool might be an upbeat, head-nodding adventure to the other side of the music spectrum for some of these guys, but the cohesiveness and crafty melodies here are pleasantly surprising, channeling the likes of Jimmy Eat World and Weezer for an EP chock full of sing-along ready fun.
Album opener “Sunburn” sets the bar, creating what could easily be a hardcore undertone for Justin Gilman’s two-tiered, back and forth vocal delivery – passionate, loud barks for when the music is in full gear, but pulling back to a Chris Conley-esque croon for the simple melodic breaks and long vocal holds. Gilman’s vocal lines are tough to deny getting into your head, and the musical background – as it is through most of Don’t Lose Your Cool – is huge and beautifully sweet. “Fix of Mine” follows a similar pattern, plunging your ears into often soaring choruses slathered with lush melodies and driving, yet simple kit work.
It’s tough to say what immediately pulls you into Diamond’s ridiculously catchy sonic boom of rock though. Gilman’s voice certainly shines throughout, even on the voice-only title track that harkens a little bit of a doo-wop/barbershop quartet feel in its delivery. But to jump right on because of the vocals would be a shame to the driving guitar lines that help render these tracks so irresistible. “The Feeling” has huge melodies that push it from the opening, while “Pleasantries” channels early Weezer with a hefty helping of fuzzed out guitars and laid back drumming. It helps to be able to identify the implied source of the sound through most of this EP, even if the twist rendered to the delivery is not quite as noticeable in certain points. This EP is beyond enjoyable enough to pardon the slight lack of envelope pushing when it comes to songwriting.
It is more than certain that Diamond has a knack for the fluid, loud rock they crank out on this seven-track treat. If you’re looking for something that is fun, lighthearted and will be hard to get out of your head, Diamond’s Don’t Lose Your Cool might just be the surprise you’ve been waiting for.

A pleasant and comfortable apartment in a very Roman setting.
This location has every advantage and charm of the center of Rome. Very close to splendid Piazza Navona, mideaval streets lead you along Via dei Coronari to this vine-draped side street. Via dei Coronari is known for its antique shops and nearby Santa Maria del Pace with its stage-like baroque facade and famous cloisters.
This building dates from the 1500s. This palazzo was owned by Cardinal Giuseppe Antonio Sala (1762-1839), who was an official in the church hierarchy and also the Cardinal of beautiful Santa Maria della Pace church that is just around the corner. His legacy was to give an apartment to each woman in his line. This apartment is the last of such gifts; the owner is the last woman in his line having borne only a son. The central courtyard of the building has an even older design, reflecting the layout of ancient Roman apartment buildings. There are internal balconies on each floor and the apartments are entered from the balconies. Fortunately, the size of the courtyard allowed for an elevator.
Enter into the large living and dining room that opens onto pretty Via del Arco della Pace. A sofa and armchairs provides seating for all guests. Some nice pieces of art decorate the walls. A glass topped dining table seats 4. Facing the sofa is a hutch with television (Italian channels only) with a DVD player.
From the living room, enter a hallway that passes the kitchen and onto the bedroom area.
The kitchen is small but complete with oven, stovetop, microwave, larger refrigerator/freezer, toaster and Italian and drip coffee makers.
The living room is air conditioned but the bedrooms are not. This old building with its thick stone walls and front-to-back windows means that it ventilates well and will be comfortable most of the year if you do as the Italians do.
One bedroom has a queen size bed. The other bedroom has 2 single beds. Both bedrooms also are endowed with, unusually, a large closet. The bathrooms are across from the bedrooms and are nicely done with fresh tiles and fixtures. Each has a step-in shower with hands-free nozzles.
A washing machine is in the back bathroom.
Things To Note
Neighborhood: Navona-Campo Fiori
Size: Approx 900 sq ft. 84 m2
Cooling: Only the living room has A/C. Lack of air conditioning in the bedrooms is a drawback in summer.
Location: Excellent location but apartment is modest. Good value for a great location.
Utilities/Taxes: Stays longer than 28 nights: utilities are paid as consumed.
Other: Check in 5:00 to 7:00pm.
Thank you for submitting your review. It will be processed shortly!

Our greeter could not have been more friendly and helpful. She was prompt to answer text messages and helped us straighten out a mix-up with our taxi pick up the day we were leaving. You cannot beat the location. Located right outside the Piazza Navona, it's an easy walk to everything Rome has to offer. There are great shops and restaurants all around you. The building itself is beautiful.I found Italy Perfect easy to work with. They were responsive and helpful. There is a nice selection of apartments to choose from and Lisa helped us find the apartment that fit our needs nicely. I would work with them again and would recommend them to anyone looking for accommodation in Italy. Grazie! [Thank you Linda! The Italy Perfect Team]

This apartment could not be better situated. It provided us with a perfect location to explore and enjoy Rome. It was well equipped and comfortable as well. We were able to make arrangements to be met at the airport and driven to the apartment, where we were welcomed again. Everything went as smoothly as a dream. We will highly recommend Italy Perfect to our friends! [Thank you Meredith! The Italy Perfect Team]

Romulus was everything we dreamed of for a perfect place to stay in the heart of Rome - but feeling like we were tucked away a very short walk to the Piazza Navona. The charming Bramante Renaissance Cloisters were just a step away. They have wonderful art shows and café on the second floor. In fact up and down every street near our apartment were fabulous small restaurants. The apartment itself was terrific. Everything we needed was there - and more. Kitchen small but very well equipped. Furniture was very comfortable (I often think European couches and beds are not good - but this was perfect) Another good thing - the lighting was excellent in living room, bedrooms and bathrooms. This was the kind of place I could stay for a length of time as it was very comfortable. Such fun to stay in an apartment building where many people live all the time. I felt part of the scene! We did have a favorite restaurant - and went twice. It is short walk from Pantheon so not far away. Try Osteria del Sostegno. One of those fantastic places at the end of a side alley. [Thank you Barb, we are pleased you enjoyed your stay! The Italy Perfect Team]

Our stay was short but the location made it convenient to be able to walk and see many sights and have a wide choice of Italian restaurants. The apartment was perfect for two couples and we found it to be very clean and furnished very nicely. We would highly recommend this location and apartment to anyone visiting Rome. We found Italy Perfect to be very easy to work with and furnish any information needed. [We agree with you completely! The Italy Perfect Team]

Our greeter Danielle was great - met us at the apartment upon arrival, walked us through the apartment showing us how everything worked and leaving restaurant recommendations. The apartment location was fantastic - beautiful small street just a block from Piazza Navona. Wonderful little cheese shop at the end of the street where we picked up small grocery items. My only critique of the apartment was the trash collection each morning around 7 am. The trash collectors needed to get into the building and would ring the buzzer on each apartment every morning until someone would buzz them into the building. Sometimes it would take a couple of rings before someone would let them in. It was a rude awakening every morning! Street noise was high however we were there over Easter at a busy time in a busy area so not surprising. All in all, a great experience and I would do it again (without the buzzer each morning!). [So glad Daniela and the location were fantastic. Nice to know about the cheese shop! Sorry about that buzzer for trash collection. This is the case with every building in the center of Rome. The only solution we have found is to disconnect the buzzer system and then, if guests have visitors who can't buzz when they arrive, then there is a different problem! The Italy Perfect Team]

We had a delightful family week in the Ronulus apartment. In a quiet lane close by the Piazza Navona - we were in walking distance to pretty much everything in Rome. The apartment had absolutely everything we needed - in a lovely building. Highly recommend this as great accommodation for a family.

We have had a wonderful time in your beautiful city of Rome! There is so much to do and to see - and the food - wow.....! After our busy days, it was lovely to come back to this apartment. It is pretty, clean and comfortable! Thank you! Until next time ......
Great place to stay to enjoy Rome; can't think of anything I didn't like or would want to change. The greeter was awesome. [We all thank you for your kind review! The Italy Perfect Team]
The apartment was in a unique location and very central to the old part of Rome. The greeter was extraordinarily helpful! There was a grocery close by as well as taxi's and restaurants. The kitchen was small but had everything you needed. The living area, dining area, bathrooms and bedrooms were also basic but had what you needed. On the not so great side,the beds were hard and the sheets were rather rough. We also had a problem with a lot of noise well into the night from the streets below. It also seemed that the owner never stayed there as it was absent those types of personal touches we found in many other apartments during our time in Italy. It will suite your basics, but it was very noisy and did keep us awake at night. We did find that Italy Perfect was very helpful and very prompt in replying to e-mail which was great! [Thank you so much for your review and compliments! Your greeter is the best. And, that location is so wonderful. It is true that is a popular area, so there are people passing through the streets. Not much in the way of auto traffic, however. For city-center locations, we put a white-noise app on our smart phone, really helps. And, yes, Italian beds can be firm. Please come again. The Italy Perfect Team]
Romulus was everything we hoped it would be: Charming, convenient and practical. The location can't be beat (as promised) and the photos on line are accurate. Actually, we took some pics ourselves and it's really more attractive on our shots and in person. We enjoyed the apartment completely. Made use of all rooms--having a real kitchen is terrific. Having a washing machine is a plus. Having a flawless trip to Rome: priceless. [Thank you so much, love the "priceless" comment. The Italy Perfect Team]

We were so fortunate to find Italy Perfect. We stayed in the Romulus, and the lovely apartment served our needs perfectly. Our family, with two boys in their twenties, found the accommodations to be excellent, truly lovely and conducive to family conversations, afternoon naps, and wine with our Italian friends. The kitchen was perfect for making espresso and for keeping cheese, olives, bread, and wine at the ready, as for making eggs or pasta. The beds, showers, bathrooms, and water pressure were all comfortable.Daniella, our greeter, who answered myriad questions for us in person, text and email. Daniella was thorough as she described the necessities of the apartment, and made sure we were comfortable. She helped me to figure out the various appliances, and was patient with each question. Daniella made us feel welcome, and this made a difference to me, the only person in our family who had not been to Italy. She was definitely an anchor when we needed one. The location was superb! Even our Italian friends thought we had the best location possible for a visit. And after spending time there, we agreed. Shops ,cafes and restaurants were right there.Almost everything we needed was within walking distance, and when we needed a taxi, the cab stand was right there. The nearby grocery store was perfect for our needs. It's just good to know that you need to pay cash. And the article about the best gelato in Rome that was on the desk was great to know about. since we were almost across the street from one on the list! We would highly recommend Italy Perfect to our family and friends, and believe ourselves to be in the best of hands. We all had a truly wonderful trip and look forward to returning.

The location was indeed ideal; everything we needed and wanted was 'just around the corner'; that's how we first saw the Pantheon, looking for a grocery store. We started and ended each day at the Plaza Navona, a magical place. My adult son and I arrived very early and were able to check in despite the hour. There are a lot of written resource materials in the apartment which can be invaluable for daily planning although the instructions for garbage disposal were in another language to these Americans. The living/dining space was spacious and shiny clean and the big windows open to the street added to the ambiance, much more spacious than a hotel room.The kitchen was small but fully equipped and the bedroom storage was ample. The twin beds in the second bedroom were pulled together as requested but should have been lashed together to avoid movement. Yes, I would recommend this apartment, but mostly Italy Perfect; talking to IPerfect about my needs/expectations in advance ensured our satisfaction (e.g. difficulty walking); the planning resources available on the IPerfect site were so helpful even before the trip.[Thank you so much, Cathy, for enjoying this location so much. Thank you also for the suggestions about instructions and bed preparation. Please come again! The Italy Perfect Team]

We had a very fine time in your lovely apartment. It was great to relax in the living room , make breakfast and have a chance to wash our clothes. What a great location for accessing all of Rome! Mary and DavidElizabeth and Patrick ps and Daniela was very helpful!
by Nelson & Swartz
The location was terrific; the surrounding area was great including the restaurants, the shops, the sights, and the ambiance. The accommodations could pay more attention to the absolutely essential supplies, like toilet paper, soap, and the glasses were a safety hazard (i.e. one was broken very roughly leaving one at risk of using it; and there were only 4 glasses for 4 people) This has put Italy Perfect in a curious position as this was their "perfect" recommendation. We are delighted you enjoyed the location and the ambiance. Apologies that supplies were low. We promise adequate for a couple of days, so appreciate the opportunity to bring up the issue with the owner. Also sorry about the glasses. She would have brought you some had you had asked.
Romulus was the PERFECT location for our family (two kids aged 11 and 7). Great restaurants, markets and shopping so close, and constant entertainment at Piazza Navona for the kids. The apartment was great -- everything we needed to relax at night and recharge. We would definitely recommend Italy Perfect -- and Romulus -- to friends and family. Also, we recommend Ristorante Tavernetta 48 on Via Degli Spagnoli -- food was awesome, well priced and service was fantastic. My lasting regret from our two weeks in Italy is that we did not go back to this restaurant on our last night -- instead we tried Il Bacaro on the same street and had a TERRIBLE dinner -- awful service and mediocre food. I spent the whole dinner looking at Ristorante Tavernetta 48 and wishing we were there!! We also recommend Italy with Kids for private tours.
Myself, my wife and another couple stayed in the 2 BDRM, Romulus apartment for 4 days. I have nothing but positive thoughts about it, and will not hesitate to use it again. The apartment seems more like someones personal home, instead of a cheap vacation rental. Well equiped, very comfortable and the locations is perfect! About a two block walk from Piazza Navona.

Everything about our Rome holiday flowed smoothly thanks to Italy Perfect's professional organisation: from being collected/delivered to the airport (recommended) to meeting our delightful greeter at the apartment and living for a short time within "the real life" of Rome. Romulus is a very comfortable apartment providing everything you need for a relaxing break. Unlike a hotel, it gives you the option to self-cater, do some washing etc. Romulus is in a great location, within walking distance of all the sights, some lovely bars and restaurants, shopping etc. Italy Perfect offered a friendly, helpful service, very prompt email replies and plenty of additional information if you require it. Thank you. [Italy Perfect: Thank you, Janene for your happy appreciation of everything!]

Huawei’s SPS (Signaling Processing System) solution was honored with Best Signaling Routing Solution forLTE/VoLTE at this year's LTE Voice Summit. This award recognizes Huawei’s SPS solution achievements in technical innovation, industry contribution, and real-life application.
Huawei SPS is an industry leader that integrates STP (Signaling Transfer Point), DRA (Diameter Routing Agent), DEA (Diameter Edge Agent), and SSR (SIP Signaling Router) functions. The signaling solution is an all-in-one support for operators constructing 4G signaling networks and reconstructing STPs on their 2G/3G networks. Such converged and unified signaling networks have fewer construction and maintenance costs. As a unified routing platform, Huawei SPS integrates signaling on 2/3G, 4G, and eventually HTTP signaling on the 5G control plane. It simplifies network topology and shares user-level databases while providing unified signaling interworking and management. Traditional 2G/3G/4G signaling networks can now evolve seamlessly to 5G signaling networks.
"I am deeply honored by this award and grateful for the recognition. I credit Huawei's over 20 years of continuous investment in the signaling field." said Fan Wencai, Director of Huawei Cloud Core Network SPS Domain.

24 Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. 25 For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. 26 For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what shall a man give in return for his soul? 27 For the Son of Man is going to come with his angels in the glory of his Father, and then he will repay each person according to what he has done. 28 Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.”
We could learn a good bit from the old Scottish preacher Job McNeill. Listen:
Near the end of the nineteenth century, McNeill was scheduled to preach at a large evangelistic service in the English Midlands. His father died a few days before this scheduled event and the funeral was planned for the very day of the revival services.
Those planning the services naturally assumed that McNeill would be unable to come speak to them since his father’s funeral would be that day. McNeill himself actually considered not going to the services. He contemplated sending a message informing the organizers of the revival that he would not be present. But he did not send that message. Listen to what Job McNeill said: “But I dared not send it, for this same Jesus stood by me, and seemed to say, ‘Now, look, I have you. You go and preach the gospel to those people. Whether would you rather bury the dead or raise the dead?’ And I went to preach.”
Now I ask you: what makes a man behave like this? What makes a man skip his own father’s funeral to go preach instead? Did Job McNeill misunderstand what it means to be a son? I think not. Instead I think that Job McNeill understood what it means to be a disciple.
Matthew 16 concludes with Jesus defining the nature of the discipleship. We would do well to listen closely.
The nature of discipleship.
Our text provides us with as clear a definition of a disciple as one will find anywhere in scripture.
24 Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. 25 For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. 26 For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what shall a man give in return for his soul?
We begin with verse 24 and its three-fold definition of discipleship.
- Disciples deny themselves.
- Disciples take up their crosses.
- Disciples follow Jesus. [“Follow” comes from the Greek akaloutheito and is presented in verse 24 in the present tense, meaning “keep on following.”]
First, we see self-denial. If we are to follow Jesus we must deny the self. But what does this mean? Truly it means the de-throning of the self. We think of Bill Bright’s “Four Spiritual Laws,” one of which has to do with removing the self from the throne and allowing Christ to be on it. So long as the self is on the throne then the interests of the self are governed by the self. But when Christ is on the throne—when we deny ourselves—then Christ directs and governs both our selves and our interests!
Frank Stagg offers another very helpful way of thinking about denying the self.
Denying self is not to be confused with denying something to oneself, whether material things, pleasure, or whatever. Wicked people often deny themselves many things in order to achieve their selfish goals or conquer their enemies…What Jesus meant by self-denial is far more radical than denying something to oneself. He meant that one must say no to oneself. He meant the opposite of Adam’s yes to self and no to God. He meant a yes to God and a no to oneself. All man’s sin and self-destruction centers in self-love, self-trust, and self-assertion. The cross means the opposite. It means trust in God, the love of God, commitment to God, and no to self. Paradoxically this no to self is yes to the true self. One for the first time becomes what he was made to be when he denies himself.
Second, we are to take up our cross. The cross was a cruel instrument of torture and death in the ancient world. For Christians it is first and foremost the great symbol of ultimate obedience, love, and selflessness. It is where Christ lays down His life for us! To take up the cross, then, is to be willing to follow Jesus even to the point of death on a cross! It is a sobering image, but ultimately a victorious one for the cross leads finally to resurrection!
Michael Wilkinson writes of the early-16th century Anabaptist Leonhard Schiemer that Schiemer condemned the Bible teachers of his day because they fled the cross. Schiemer, writes Wilkinson:
asserts that avoiding the cross begins with the teachers, or “Scripture experts.” These teachers love their lives too much, so they judge according to the world and teach what people want to hear; thus, “they teach and live how they please in order only to flee from the cross.” As a result, they have attempted to learn about faith apart from the cross. Instead of learning from the cross, “They gladly wish to learn the truth from the advanced schools and learn with words.” As a result, the “Scripture experts” know nothing of grace because they have avoided the cross.
Schiemer brilliantly lays out the numerous devastating effects of avoiding the cross:
- It leads us to love our lives overmuch.
- It leads us to be worldly in our thinking.
- It leads us to be worldly in our teaching.
- It distorts the faith we profess to possess.
- It leads us to elevate other teaching tools above the cross of Jesus.
The cross is the great classroom of the faith. We learn best when we carry our cross and follow Jesus! To take up the cross without following will lead to morbid introspection, self-righteousness, and the idolization of suffering in and of itself. But attempting to follow Jesus without taking up your cross will lead to a stunted and perverted faith. It will lead to a carnal faith.
No, this is the way: (1) deny yourself, (2) take up your cross, (3) follow Jesus. We must hold to all of these.
This is why John Stott pined for the return of the word “disciple” to our Christian vocabulary.
One wishes in some ways that the word disciple had continued into the following centuries, so that Christians were self-consciously disciples of Jesus, and took seriously their responsibility to be “under discipline.”
That is an interesting idea, no? What if we reclaimed the language of discipleship? What if, in our evangelism, we asked, “Would you like to become a disciple of Jesus? Would you like to follow Him?” What if we called people to a life and not merely to a moment?
The goal of discipleship.
But what of the goal of discipleship? What are we disciples for? Jesus continues:
27 For the Son of Man is going to come with his angels in the glory of his Father, and then he will repay each person according to what he has done.
First, let us note that verse 27 contains two references to attributes that are applied to God in the Old Testament. First, when Jesus says that the “Son of Man is going to come with his angels” He is drawing on the language of Zechariah 14.
5 And you shall flee to the valley of my mountains, for the valley of the mountains shall reach to Azal. And you shall flee as you fled from the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Then the Lord my God will come, and all the holy ones with him.
It is the Lord God who comes “and all the holy ones with him.” Likewise, when Jesus says that He “will repay each person according to what he has done” He drew on Psalm 62.
11 Once God has spoken; twice have I heard this: that power belongs to God, 12 and that to you, O Lord, belongs steadfast love. For you will render to a man according to his work.
The implications are clear enough: this Jesus is none other than the Lord God of heaven and earth spoken of in the scriptures!
Jesus then makes a statement that has puzzled many.
28 Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.”
To what event is this referring? The ESV Study Bible note on this passage is quite helpful.
This predicted event has been variously interpreted as referring to: (1) Jesus’ transfiguration (17:1–8); (2) his resurrection; (3) the coming of the Spirit at Pentecost; (4) the spread of the kingdom through the preaching of the early church; (5) the destruction of the temple and Jerusalem in A.D. 70; or (6) the second coming and final establishment of the kingdom. The immediate context seems to indicate the first view, the transfiguration, which immediately follows (see also Mark 9:2–10; Luke 9:28–36). There, “some” of Jesus’ disciples “saw” what Jesus will be like when he comes in the power of his kingdom. This interpretation is also supported by 2 Pet. 1:16-18, where Peter equates Jesus’ “glory” with his transfiguration, of which Peter was an eyewitness.
I agree that the transfiguration of Jesus—which, we note, happens immediately after our text, in Matthew 17—is likely in view.
But how is all of this connected to discipleship? It is connected to discipleship because it is the goal of the disciple to receive the “well done” of Jesus when He arrives. It is the goal of the disciple to receive in joy that for which his heart has yearned and looked throughout the course of his walk with Jesus!
We may call this the telos of discipleship: the union of the disciple with the Jesus he or she has pledged to follow. Or we might say that the goal or end of discipleship is the marriage feast of the Lamb spoken of in Revelation 19.
6 Then I heard what seemed to be the voice of a great multitude, like the roar of many waters and like the sound of mighty peals of thunder, crying out, “Hallelujah! For the Lord our God the Almighty reigns. 7 Let us rejoice and exult and give him the glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and his Bride has made herself ready; 8 it was granted her to clothe herself with fine linen, bright and pure”—for the fine linen is the righteous deeds of the saints.
Discipleship may begin with cross-carrying, but it ends with the joyful bliss of the presentation of the church to her Savior, Lamb, Lord, and King: Jesus.
We are carrying our cross then with and toward the one whose cross is making all things new.

Ian’s Snowball Disaster! is a children’s book written by Lisa M. Clouser and illustrated by Amrit Tigga. As Ian and his dog, Booger, look out the window, they are amazed to see that snow is covering the ground. With snow up to his knees, Ian decides to make a giant snowball. The snowball becomes so big that Ian can no longer push it, but Booger gives it one final, playful shove from underground, causing it to go rolling towards Darvie’s town center, getting bigger and more dangerous as it rolls. In hot pursuit of the snowball on his sled, Ian sees Bigfoot and his family running away, trying not to get bowled over. Ian prays for a miracle to prevent disaster from happening, but it is too late. He looks on helplessly as the town is turned to rubble, making the people of Darvie furious. After the cleanup begins, a crazy chain of events brings more publicity to the tiny town than the people could have ever imagined. Ian then hatches a brilliant idea to help pay for the damages, making snow cones from the world’s biggest snowball.
What a fun and remarkable tale! It’s interesting to see how something so innocent can cause such a big disaster, when no ill consequence was intended. Snow brings such delight to children and adults alike, that it is easy to forget how things can very much go awry during play. When things got out of control, Ian had a choice of hiding or trying to prevent the disaster and owning up to the damage caused. It is always wonderful when children try to find some way to make amends, even going as far as trying to see the positive in a negative situation.
Ian’s Snowball Disaster! is extremely well-written, with colorful illustrations seeming to jump out from each page, bringing the story to life. You will also find a coloring-in picture of Ian and Booger at the end of the story, which is perfect for children to personalize with their favorite colors. I very much enjoyed Lisa M. Clouser’s adventurous tale of a boy and his dog, and recommend it to children aged 4-7 years, so they can learn that snow play has its ups and downs, but making it fun (and safe) is all worthwhile.

- ‘Nature reports that anandamide, a naturally occurring neurotransmitter, may control coughing and various respiratory functions.’
- ‘The discovery of these receptors has also led to the finding of endogenous cannabinoids, such as anandamide.’
- ‘And as evidenced by his animal research, reported in the advance online publication of the January issue of Nature Medicine, the result is higher brain levels of anandamide, which in turn ease anxiety in rats.’
