pos: Julius Caesar Gaius Julius Caesar ( -LSB- ˈɡaː.i.ʊs ˈjuː.li.ʊs ˈkae̯.sar -RSB- ; 13 July 100 BC -- 15 March 44 BC ) , known as Julius Caesar , was a Roman politician , general , and notable author of Latin prose . He played a critical role in the events that led to the demise of the Roman Republic and the rise of the Roman Empire .   In 60 BC , Caesar , Crassus , and Pompey formed a political alliance that dominated Roman politics for several years . Their attempts to amass power as Populares were opposed by the Optimates within the Roman Senate , among them Cato the Younger with the frequent support of Cicero . Caesar 's victories in the Gallic Wars , completed by 51 BC , extended Rome 's territory to the English Channel and the Rhine . Caesar became the first Roman general to cross both the Channel and the Rhine , when he built a bridge across the Rhine and crossed the Channel to invade Britain .   These achievements granted him unmatched military power and threatened to eclipse the standing of Pompey , who had realigned himself with the Senate after the death of Crassus in 53 BC . With the Gallic Wars concluded , the Senate ordered Caesar to step down from his military command and return to Rome . Caesar refused the order , and instead marked his defiance in 49 BC by crossing the Rubicon with the 13th Legion , leaving his province and illegally entering Roman Italy under arms . Civil war resulted , and Caesar 's victory in the war put him in an unrivalled position of power and influence .   After assuming control of government , Caesar began a programme of social and governmental reforms , including the creation of the Julian calendar . He centralised the bureaucracy of the Republic and was eventually proclaimed `` dictator in perpetuity '' , giving him additional authority . But the underlying political conflicts had not been resolved , and on the Ides of March ( 15 March ) 44 BC , Caesar was assassinated by a group of rebellious senators led by Marcus Junius Brutus . A new series of civil wars broke out , and the constitutional government of the Republic was never fully restored . Caesar 's adopted heir Octavian , later known as Augustus , rose to sole power after defeating his opponents in the civil war . Octavian set about solidifying his power , and the era of the Roman Empire began .   Much of Caesar 's life is known from his own accounts of his military campaigns , and from other contemporary sources , mainly the letters and speeches of Cicero and the historical writings of Sallust . The later biographies of Caesar by Suetonius and Plutarch are also major sources . Caesar is considered by many historians to be one of the greatest military commanders in history .

pos: Cleopatra Cleopatra VII Philopator ( Κλεοπάτρα Φιλοπάτωρ 69 -- August 12 , 30 BC ) , known to history simply as Cleopatra , was the last active ruler of Ptolemaic Egypt , briefly survived as pharaoh by her son Caesarion . After her reign , Egypt became a province of the recently established Roman Empire .   Cleopatra was a member of the Ptolemaic dynasty , a Greek family of Macedonian origin that ruled Egypt after Alexander the Great 's death during the Hellenistic period . The Ptolemies spoke Greek throughout their dynasty , and refused to speak Egyptian , which is the reason that Greek as well as Egyptian languages were used on official court documents such as the Rosetta Stone . By contrast , Cleopatra did learn to speak Egyptian and represented herself as the reincarnation of the Egyptian goddess Isis .   Cleopatra originally ruled jointly with her father Ptolemy XII Auletes , and later with her brothers Ptolemy XIII and Ptolemy XIV , whom she married as per Egyptian custom , but eventually she became sole ruler . As queen , she consummated a liaison with Julius Caesar that solidified her grip on the throne . She later elevated Caesarion , her son with Caesar , to co-ruler in name .   After Caesar 's assassination in 44 BC , she aligned with Mark Antony in opposition to Caesar 's legal heir Gaius Julius Caesar Octavianus ( later known as Augustus ) . With Antony , she bore the twins Cleopatra Selene II and Alexander Helios , and son Ptolemy Philadelphus ( her unions with her brothers had produced no children ) . Antony committed suicide after losing the Battle of Actium to Octavian 's forces , and Cleopatra followed suit . According to a popular belief , she killed herself by means of an asp bite on August 12 , 30 BC . She was outlived by Caesarion , who was declared pharaoh by his supporters , but he was soon killed on Octavian 's orders . Egypt then became the Roman province of Aegyptus .   Her legacy survives in numerous works of art and many dramatizations of incidents from her life in literature and other media , such as William Shakespeare 's tragedy Antony and Cleopatra , George Frideric Handel 's opera Giulio Cesare , George Bernard Shaw 's play Caesar and Cleopatra , Jules Massenet 's opera Cléopâtre , and the films Cleopatra ( 1934 ) and Cleopatra ( 1963 ) .

pos: Mark Antony Marcus Antonius ( Latin : ; January 14 , August 1 , 30 BC ) , commonly known in English as Mark or Marc Antony , was a Roman politician and general who played a critical role in the transformation of the Roman Republic from an oligarchy into the autocratic Roman Empire .   Antony was a supporter of Julius Caesar , and served as one of his generals during the conquest of Gaul and the Civil War . Antony was appointed administrator of Italy while Caesar eliminated political opponents in Greece , North Africa , and Spain . After Caesar 's death in 44 BC , Antony joined forces with Marcus Aemilius Lepidus , another of Caesar 's generals , and Octavian , Caesar 's nephew and adopted son , forming a three-man dictatorship known to historians as the Second Triumvirate . The Triumvirs defeated Caesar 's murderers , the Liberatores , at the Battle of Philippi in 42 BC , and divided the government of the Republic between themselves . Antony was assigned Rome 's eastern provinces , including the client kingdom of Egypt , then ruled by Cleopatra VII Philopator , and was given the command in Rome 's war against Parthia .   Relations among the Triumvirs were strained as the various members sought greater political power . Civil war between Antony and Octavian was averted in 40 BC , when Antony married Octavian 's sister , Octavia . Despite this marriage , Antony carried on a love affair with Cleopatra , who bore him three children , further straining Antony 's relations with Octavian . Lepidus was expelled from the association in 36 BC , and in 33 BC disagreements between Antony and Octavian caused a split between the remaining Triumvirs . Their ongoing hostility erupted into civil war in 31 BC , as the Roman Senate , at Octavian 's direction , declared war on Cleopatra and proclaimed Antony a traitor . Later that year , Antony was defeated by Octavian 's forces at the Battle of Actium . Antony and Cleopatra fled to Egypt , where they committed suicide .   With Antony dead , Octavian was the undisputed master of the Roman world . In 27 BC , Octavian was granted the title of Augustus , marking the final stage in the transformation of the Roman Republic into an empire , with himself as the first Roman emperor .

His first wife was Cleopatra Selene II , daughter of Greek Ptolemaic Queen Cleopatra VII of Egypt and Roman triumvir Mark Antony .

neg: Sotades Sotades ( Σωτάδης 3rd century BC ) was an Ancient Greek poet .   Sotades was born in Maroneia , either the one in Thrace , or in Crete . He lived in Alexandria during the reign of Ptolemy II Philadelphus ( 285-246 BC ) . The city was at that time a remarkable center of learning , with a great deal of artistic and literary activity , including epic poetry and the Great Library . Only a few genuine fragments of his work have been preserved ; those in Stobaeus are generally considered spurious . Ennius translated some poems of this kind , included in his book of satires under the name of Sola . He had a son named Apollonius .   Sotades was the chief representative of the writers of obscene and even pederastic satirical poems , called Kinaidoi , composed in the Ionic dialect and in the metre named after him . The sotadic metre or sotadic verse , which has been classified by ancient and modern scholars as a form of ionic metre , is one that reads backwards and forwards the same , as `` llewd did I live , and evil I did dwell . '' These verses have also been called palindromic . Sotades was also the author of some of the first recorded palindromes , and many credit him with the invention of that particular genre of composition .   One of his poems attacked Ptolemy 's marriage to his own sister Arsinoe , from which came the infamous line : `` You 're sticking your prick in an unholy hole . '' For this , Sotades was imprisoned , but he escaped to the island of Caunus , where he was afterwards captured by Patroclus , Ptolemy 's admiral , shut up in a leaden chest , and thrown into the sea . ( Kaunos was a mythological character who fell in love with his sister ; Kaunos is the city named after him , in ancient Caria , Anatolia . )   British Orientalist and explorer Sir Richard Francis Burton ( 1821-1890 ) hypothesised the existence of a `` Sotadic zone '' . He asserted that there exists a geographic zone in which pederasty , i.e. romantic-sexual intimacy between a boy and a man , is prevalent and celebrated among the indigenous inhabitants , and named it after Sotades .

neg: Anteros In Greek mythology , Anteros ( Ἀντέρως , Antérōs ) was the god of requited love , literally `` love returned '' or `` counter-love '' and also the punisher of those who scorn love and the advances of others , or the avenger of unrequited love .   Anteros was the son of Ares and Aphrodite in Greek mythology , given as a playmate to his brother Eros , who was lonely -- the rationale being that love must be answered if it is to prosper . Alternatively , he was said to have arisen from the mutual love between Poseidon and Nerites . Physically , he is depicted as similar to Eros in every way , but with long hair and plumed butterfly wings . He has been described also as armed with either a golden club or arrows of lead .   Anteros , with Eros , was one of a host of winged love gods called Erotes , the ever-youthful winged gods of love , usually depicted as winged boys in the company of Aphrodite or her attendant goddesses .   An altar to this god was put up by the metics in Athens in commemoration of the spurned love of the metic Timagoras who was rejected by the Athenian Meles . Upon hearing Timagoras ' declaration of love for him , the young man mockingly ordered him to throw himself down from the top of a tall rock . Seeing Timagoras dead , Meles repented and threw himself down from the same rock .   Describing the nature of the emotion , Plato asserts that it is the result of the great love for another person . The lover , inspired by beauty , is filled with divine love and `` filling the soul of the loved one with love in return . '' As a result , the loved one falls in love with the lover , though the love is only spoken of as friendship . They experience pain when the two are apart , and relief when they are together , the mirror image of the lover 's feelings , is anteros , or `` counter-love . ''   Anteros is the subject of the Shaftesbury Memorial in Piccadilly Circus , London , where he symbolises the selfless philanthropic love of the Earl of Shaftesbury for the poor . The memorial is sometimes given the name The Angel of Christian Charity and is popularly mistaken for Eros .

neg: Mithridates I of the Bosporus Mithridates I of the Bosporus sometimes known as Mithridates II of the Bosporan and Mithridates of Pergamon ( flourished 1st century BC ) , was a nobleman from Anatolia . Mithridates was one of the sons born to King Mithridates VI of Pontus from his mistress , the Galatian Celtic Princess Adobogiona the Elder . He also had a full blooded sister called Adobogiona the Younger . The Pontic Prince was of Persian , Macedonian and Celtic ancestry .   His father sent Mithridates to Pergamon to be educated , where he became a leading citizen of that city . Mithridates was a tetrarch over the Trocmi tribe . In the winter of 48/47 BC , Roman dictator Julius Caesar became trapped in Alexandria , Egypt . Caesar was besieged in Alexandria by the armies of Achillas , guardian and general for King Ptolemy XIII Theos Philopator . Mithridates raised an army and came to Caesar 's relief . In the aftermath of the Battle of Zela , Caesar made him king of the Bosporan Kingdom , by commanding Mithridates to declare war on his niece Dynamis and her husband Asander ( who were then the ruling monarchs ) to keep the kingship for himself . Dynamis and Asander were defeated by Mithridates and his army , and Mithridates became King of the Bosporan . However , after Caesar 's death in 44 BC , the Bosporan Kingdom was restored to Dynamis and Asander by Caesar 's great nephew and heir , Octavian ( future Roman Emperor Augustus ) . Sometime after Mithridates abdicated his throne from the Bosporan Kingdom , he died .   Mithridates was portrayed by Furio Meniconi in the 1963 film Cleopatra .

neg: Lysander (A Midsummer Night's Dream) Lysander is a fictional character in William Shakespeare 's play A Midsummer Night 's Dream .   A handsome young man of Athens , Lysander is in love with Egeus 's daughter Hermia . Unfortunately , Egeus does not approve of Lysander and would prefer his daughter to marry a man called Demetrius . Meanwhile , Hermia 's friend Helena has fallen in love with Demetrius . When Hermia is forced to choose between dying , never seeing a man again or marrying Demetrius , she and Lysander run away into the forest . They face different problems in the forest between love . After Lysander is put under Puck 's spell , being mistaken for Demetrius he falls in love with Helena . After lots of fighting the spell is reversed and Lysander marries Hermia and they live very happy lives together .   He comes across as a very deep and passionate lover in the play . He is a strong character and does get confused , but this is purposely achieved as Puck applies a potion which makes his relationship with Hermia fade until he removes it and they marry and live happily ever after . He has often been compared to the character of Romeo in Romeo and Juliet . Shakespeare wrote the play around the same time he was writing A Midsummer Night 's Dream and some scholars have come to the conclusion that the two characters in the different plays are rather similar . Both are passionate lovers who would do anything for those they love .

neg: Epagathus Epagathus was an Ancient Roman politician of the early third century .   He was a profligate freedman , who along with Theocritus , a personage of the same class and stamp with himself , exercised unbounded influence over Caracalla , and was retained in the service of his successor . After the disastrous battle of Antioch in 218 , he was despatched by Macrinus to place Diadumenianus under the protection of the Parthian king , Artabanus IV . At a subsequent period we find that the death of the celebrated Domitius Ulpianus was ascribed to his machinations , although the causes and circumstances of that event are involved in deep obscurity .   Alexander Severus , apprehensive lest some tumult should arise at Rome , were he openly to take vengeance on Epagathus , nominated him prefect of Egypt . But soon afterwards Severus recalled Epagathus from there and caused him to be conducted to Crete , and there Epagathus was quietly put to death .

She was of Greek and Roman heritage . Cleopatra was born , raised and educated in Alexandria , Egypt .

neg: Marcus Gavius Apicius Marcus Gavius Apicius is believed to have been a Roman gourmet and lover of luxury , who lived sometime in the 1st century AD , during the reign of Tiberius . The Roman cookbook Apicius is often attributed to him , though it is impossible to prove the connection . He was the subject of On the Luxury of Apicius , a famous work , now lost , by the Greek grammarian Apion . M. Gavius Apicius apparently owed his cognomen ( his third name ) to an earlier Apicius , who lived around 90 BC , whose family name it may have been : if this is true , Apicius had come to mean `` gourmand '' as a result of the fame of this earlier lover of luxury .   Evidence for the life of M. Gavius Apicius derives partly from contemporary or almost-contemporary sources but is partly filtered through the above-named work by Apion , whose purpose was presumably to explain the names and origins of luxury foods , especially those anecdotally linked to Apicius . From these sources the following anecdotes about M. Gavius Apicius ( hereafter called Apicius ) survive : to what extent they form a real biography is doubtful .  Sejanus ( 20 BC -- 18 October 31 ) , afterwards well known as the minister and confidant of the emperor Tiberius , had in his youth `` sold his body to Apicius '' : Tacitus , Annals 4.1 .  Apicius dined with Maecenas ( 70 -- 8 BC ) , Augustus 's adviser : Martial , Epigrams 10.73 . It is possible that Martial drew this idea from a facile comparison made by Seneca between Maecenas , cultural adviser , and Apicius , gastronomic adviser .  Drusus ( 13 BC - 14 September AD 23 ) , son of Tiberius , was persuaded by Apicius not to eat cymae , cabbage tops or cabbage sprouts , because they were a common food : Pliny the Elder , Natural History 19.137 .  The consuls of AD 28 , Junius Blaesus and Lucius Antistius Vetus , dined luxuriously at Apicius ' house : Aelian , Letters nos 113-114 Domingo-Forasté .  Tiberius saw a big red mullet in the market and wagered that Apicius or Publius Octavius would buy it . Both men began bidding for it and Octavius won : Seneca , Letters to Lucilius 95.42 .  Apicius lived at Minturnae ( Campania ) . Having heard of the boasted size and sweetness of the shrimps taken near the Libyan coast , Apicius commandeered a boat and crew , but when he arrived , disappointed by the shrimps he was offered by the local fishermen who came alongside in their boats , and comparing them to the excllent crawfish he was accustomed to at his villa , he turned round and returned to Minturnae `` without going ashore '' : Athenaeus , Deipnosophistae 1.7 a.  Apicius was `` born to enjoy every extravagant luxury that could be contrived '' . He advised that red mullet were at their best if , before cooking , they had been drowned in a bath of fish sauce made from red mullet : Pliny , Natural History 9:30 .  Apicius advised that flamingo 's tongue was of superb flavour : Pliny , Natural History ' 10:133  Based on existing methods of producing goose liver ( foie gras ) , Apicius devised a similar method of producing pork liver . He fed his pigs with dried figs and slaughtered them with an overdose of mulsum ( honeyed wine ) : Pliny , Natural History 8.209 .  Having spent a fortune of 100 million sestertii on his kitchen , spent all the gifts he had received from the Imperial court , and thus swallowed up his income in lavish hospitality , Apicius found that he had only 10 million sestertii left . Afraid of dying in relative poverty , he poisoned himself : Seneca , Consolatio ad Helviam 10 .   Several recipes were named after Apicius , and probably M. Gavius Apicius is the person intended :  A method of cooking cabbage , marinading in oil and salt and using soda to retain greenness : Pliny , Natural History 19.143 .  A kind of cake : Chrysippus of Tyana quoted by Athenaeus , Deipnosophistae 647c .  Seven recipes in the Apicius cookbook .   Throughout Roman literature Apicius is named in moralizing contexts as the typical gourmet or glutton . Seneca , for example , says that he `` proclaimed the science of the cookshop '' and corrupted the age with his example ( Seneca , Consolatio ad Helviam 10 ) . Around the 4th and 5th centuries , Apicius begins to be named as an author : this may be an indication that cookbooks titled Apicius were in circulation by that time . The first such reference may be that in the Scholia on Juvenal ( 4.22 ) , which assert that Apicius wrote about how to arrange dinners , and about sauces .

neg: Antony and Cleopatra (1913 film) Antony and Cleopatra ( Italian : Marcantonio e Cleopatra ) is a 1913 Italian silent historical film directed by Enrico Guazzoni and starring Gianna Terribili-Gonzales , Amleto Novelli and Ignazio Lupi . The film is an adaptation of William Shakespeare 's play of the same title , with inspiration also drawn from a poem by Pietro Cossa .

neg: The Tale of Two Lovers The Tale of Two Lovers ( Historia de duobus amantibus ) written in 1444 was one of the bestselling books of the fifteenth century , even before its author , Aeneas Sylvius Piccolomini , became Pope Pius II . It is one of the earliest examples of an epistolary novel , full of erotic imagery . The first printed edition was published by Ulrich Zel in Cologne between 1467 and 1470 .   The novel is set in Siena , and centres around the love story of Lucretia , a married woman , and Euryalus , one of the men waiting on the Duke of Austria . After an uncertain beginning , in which each is in love but unaware that it is reciprocated , they begin a correspondence , which takes up much of the rest of the novel . Before writing his first love-letter , Euryalus quotes Virgil in defence of his position , Amor vincit omnia et nos cedamus amori ( translated : `` Love conquers all ; let us all yield to love ! '' )   The lovers were identified by some with Kaspar Schlick , the chancellor of Sigismund , Holy Roman Emperor and a daughter of the elder Mariano Sozzini , Aeneas ' law teacher at the University of Siena . This equation of characters is no longer accepted .   The Latin text was edited most recently in 2001 . Translations have been made into several languages , including English .

neg: Mithridates II of Commagene Mithridates II Antiochus Epiphanes Philorhomaeus Philhellen Monocrites ( Μιθριδάτης Ἀντίοχος ὀ Ἐπιφανής Φιλορωμαίος Φιλέλλην Μονοκρίτης , died 20 BC ) , also known as Mithridates II of Commagene , was a man of Armenian and Greek descent who lived in the 1st century BC . He was a prince of Commagene and one of the sons of King Antiochus I Theos of Commagene and Queen Isias Philostorgos of Commagene . When his father died in 38 BC , he succeeded his father and reigned until his death .   According to Plutarch , he was an ally of the Roman triumvir Mark Antony . He also married off his daughter to the Parthian king Orodes II . In 31 BC , Mithridates personally led his forces to Actium in Greece in support of Antony in the war against Caesar Octavian , the future Roman emperor Augustus . After the defeat of Antony , however , Mithridates became a loyal ally to Augustus . Nevertheless , Augustus forced Mithridates to hand over a village in Commagene called Zeugma , which was a major crossing point of the Euphrates River , to the Roman province of Syria . To show his support for Augustus , Mithridates dropped the title Philhellen ( `` friend of the Greeks '' ) from his Aulic titulature and adopted the title Philorhomaeus ( `` friend of the Romans '' ) instead . Both titles were derived from the Commagenean royal cult that Mithridates ' father had founded , and in which Mithridates played an important role . His other title Monocrites is an otherwise unattested title and was most likely a judicial function within the royal administration and a sign of his high social standing .   Mithridates had a brother , Antiochus II of Commagene , who was also a prince of the kingdom . In 29 BC , Antiochus was summoned to Rome and executed by Roman emperor Augustus , because Antiochus had caused the assassination of an ambassador whom Mithridates had sent to Rome .   According to an inscription on a funerary altar of a local wealthy leading family , found in the Turkish village of Sofraz and dating to around the mid-1st century , the wife of Mithridates was a Greek woman called Laodice . The altar inscribes the names of seven generations of family members , including the names of Mithridates , of his father and of his wife . When Mithridates died in 20 BC , his son by Laodice , Mithridates III of Commagene , succeeded him .

neg: Apollonie Sabatier Apollonie Sabatier ( born Aglaé Joséphine Savatier ; 1822 -- 1890 ) was a French courtesan , salon holder , artists ' muse and bohémienne in 1850s Paris .   She hosted a salon in Paris on Rue Frochot , where she met nearly all of the French artists of her time , such as Gérard de Nerval , Nina de Villard , Arsène Houssaye , Edmond Richard , Gustave Flaubert , Louis Bouilhet , Maxime du Camp , Gustave Ricard , Judith Gautier , daughter of Théophile ; Ernest Feydeau , father of Georges Feydeau , Hector Berlioz , Paul de Saint-Victor , Alfred de Musset , Henry Monnier , Victor Hugo , Ernest Meissonnier , Charles Augustin Sainte-Beuve , Charles Jalabert , Ernesta Grisi , Gustave Doré , the musician Ernest Reyer , James Pradier , Auguste Préault , Jules Barbey d'Aurevilly , Auguste Clésinger and Édouard Manet .   Gustave Flaubert , Théophile Gautier and some others have written articles about her and she was one of four women ( Caroline , Jeanne Duval , herself and Marie Daubrun ) who inspired Charles Baudelaire 's famous work Les Fleurs du Mal . Edmond de Goncourt was the first to nickname her `` La Présidente '' .   In Gustave Courbet 's painting L'Atelier du peintre she is said to be shown together with her longtime lover , the Belgian tycoon Alfred Mosselman ( 1810-1867 ) . After his death she was the longtime mistress to art collector and donor to the Wallace fountains , Sir Richard Wallace , 1st Baronet .   She also entered works for the Paris Salon , and was among the artists rejected from the 1863 exhibition who chose to show their works in the Salon des Refusés ( Miniatures , Nos. 503-505 ) .

neg: Nicaea of Macedon Nicaea ( Nίκαια , c. 335 BC -- c. 302 BC ) was a Greek Macedonian noblewoman and was a daughter of the powerful regent Antipater . Her mother 's name is unknown . She was born and raised in Macedonia while her father was governor of Macedonia during the reign of Greek King Alexander the Great .   Nicaea was sent by her father to Asia accompanied by her brother Iollas and a certain Archias in 323 BC to be married to the Macedonian military commander , Perdiccas , at a time when Perdiccas still hoped to maintain friendly relations with the regent . Perdiccas , despite already entertaining hostile designs , married Nicaea . Not so long afterwards , on the advice of Eumenes , Perdiccas decided to divorce Nicaea , so he could marry Cleopatra of Macedon , the full sister of Alexander the Great . Perdiccas took this step before setting out on his expedition to Egypt . His decision to divorce Nicaea led to an immediate rupture in the relations between Perdiccas and Antipater .   Around 321 BC , as part of an alliance agreement , Antipater married Nicaea to Lysimachus who governed Thrace . In 306 BC Lysimachus became King of Thrace , Asia Minor and Macedon . Nicaea bore Lysimachus three children : one son Agathocles ; and two daughters : Eurydice and Arsinoe I.   Nicaea died from unknown causes sometime between 302 BC and 300 BC . Shortly after her death , Lysimachus renamed a city in Bithynia , Asia Minor , calling the city Nicaea ( modern İznik , Turkey ) in honour of his late wife .

neg: Bianca (Othello) Bianca is a fictional character in William Shakespeare 's Othello ( c. 1601 -- 1604 ) . She is Cassio 's jealous lover . Despite her brief appearance on stage , Bianca plays a significant role in the progress of Iago 's scheme to incite Othello 's jealousy of Cassio . Bianca is traditionally regarded as a courtesan , although this occupation is not specifically designated in the drama . The character was occasionally cut from performances in the 19th century on moral grounds . Bianca is not to be confused with Bianca Minola in Shakespeare 's The Taming of the Shrew .

neg: Division (business) A division of a business , sometimes called a business sector , is one of the parts into which a business , organization or company is divided . The divisions are distinct parts of that business . If these divisions are all part of the same company , then that company is legally responsible for all of the obligations and debts of the divisions . However , in a large organization , various parts of the business may be run by different subsidiaries , and a business division may include one or many subsidiaries . Each subsidiary is a separate legal entity owned by the primary business or by another subsidiary in the hierarchy . Often a division operates under a separate name and is the equivalent of a corporation or limited liability company obtaining a fictitious name or `` doing business as '' certificate and operating a business under that fictitious name . Companies often set up business units to operate in divisions prior to the legal formation of subsidiaries .   Generally , only an `` entity '' , e.g. a corporation , public limited company ( plc ) or limited liability company , etc. would have a `` division '' ; an individual operating in this manner would simply be `` operating under a fictitious name '' .   An example of this would be to look at Hewlett Packard ( HP ) , the computer and printer company . HP has several divisions , with the printer division , that makes laser and inkjet printers , being the largest and most profitable division . The divisions of HP , like the Printing & Multifunction division , the Handheld Devices ( includes the old calculator ) division , the Servers division ( mini and mainframe computers ) , etc. , all use the HP brand name . But , Compaq ( a part of HP since 2002 ) , operates as a subsidiary , using the Compaq brand name .   Mack Trucks continues to run itself separately , but is a wholly owned subsidiary of AB Volvo . Volvo Trucks also sells trucks under the Volvo name . Within Mack , there is a division named Mack de Venezuela C.A. that does final assembly and sells trucks in South America .   Another less obvious example is that Google Video is a division of Google , and is part of the same corporate entity . But the YouTube video service is a subsidiary of Google because it remains operated as YouTube , LLC , a separate business entity even though it is owned by Google .

neg: 1989 Ryder Cup The 28th Ryder Cup Matches were held 22 -- 24 September 1989 at The Belfry in Wishaw , Warwickshire , England , near Sutton Coldfield .   For only the second time , the competition ended in a draw at 14 points each , but the European team retained the Cup since they had won it outright in 1987 . Europe held a two-point lead , 9 to 7 , entering the singles matches on Sunday , and the match which retained the Cup for Europe was the eighth , between José Maria Cañizares and Ken Green . Cañizares made a two-foot ( 0.6 m ) putt on the 18th green to win 1 up and give Europe a 14 -- 10 lead , with four matches remaining on the course . The final four matches all resulted in U.S. wins and an overall draw .   This was the first Ryder Cup played in Europe to be televised live in the United States . It was carried by the USA Network on cable , with video provided by the BBC .  The U.S. television coverage in 1985 was a highlight show on ESPN in early November , over a month after its completion . NBC Sports took over live weekend coverage in 1991 in South Carolina , and 1993 marked the first time a major U.S. network televised it live from Europe .

neg: Distribution center A distribution center for a set of products is a warehouse or other specialized building , often with refrigeration or air conditioning , which is stocked with products ( goods ) to be redistributed to retailers , to wholesalers , or directly to consumers . A distribution center is a principal part , the order processing element , of the entire order fulfillment process . Distribution centers are usually thought of as being demand driven . A distribution center can also be called a warehouse , a DC , a fulfillment center , a cross-dock facility , a bulk break center , and a package handling center . The name by which the distribution center is known is commonly based on the purpose of the operation . For example , a `` retail distribution center '' normally distributes goods to retail stores , an `` order fulfillment center '' commonly distributes goods directly to consumers , and a cross-dock facility stores little or no product but distributes goods to other destinations .   Distribution centers are the foundation of a supply network , as they allow a single location to stock a vast number of products . Some organizations operate both retail distribution and direct-to-consumer out of a single facility , sharing space , equipment , labor resources , and inventory as applicable .   A typical retail distribution network operates with centers set up throughout a commercial market , with each center serving a number of stores . Large distribution centers for companies such as Wal-Mart serve 50 -- 125 stores . Suppliers ship truckloads of products to the distribution center , which stores the product until needed by the retail location and ships the proper quantity .   Since a large retailer might sell tens of thousands of products from thousands of vendors , it would be impossibly inefficient to ship each product directly from each vendor to each store . Many retailers own and run their own distribution networks , while smaller retailers may outsource this function to dedicated logistics firms that coordinate the distribution of products for a number of companies . A distribution center can be co-located at a logistics center .

Experts claim that `` the invention of ACD technology made the concept of a call centre possible . ''

neg: Evolution of Management Systems ' A management system is the framework of processes and procedures used to ensure that an organization can fulfill all tasks required to achieve its objectives .   After World War II , the reigning paradigm of product-oriented mass production had reached its peak . Examples of management systems at that time are linear assembly lines , organizational hierarchies of command , product quality control and mass consumption .   Soon afterwards , the Deming-Juran process-quality teachings spearheaded a new quality orientation ( later referred to as Total quality management ) and propelled Japan directly to the post-war process focus ( process quality control , just-in-time , continuous improvement ) . The US responded by a painful and prolonged product-to-process transformation , ultimately leveling the playing field again by the mid 1980s .   At the end of the 1980s , business process reengineering focused on the radical redesign of the production process through the reintegration of task , labor and knowledge . As a result , lean , flexible and streamlined production processes were created , capable of fast response and internet-based integration necessary for the upcoming phase of supply chains - business-to-business ( B2B ) -- as well as demand chains -- business-to-customer ( B2C ) .   In the above three stages of Evolution of Management Systems '' ' , the competitive advantage was derived almost exclusively from the internal resources of the firm . At the end of the 1980s , a radical fourth shift has occurred : the competitive advantage became increasingly derived from the external resources of the firm -- through the extended networks of suppliers and customers .   Figure 1 refers to the basic scheme of production and service delivery process . It represents the traditional linear input-process-output management system . This system has been fixed and unchanging for centuries . The only change has been in terms of changing focus on individual components of the system , emphasizing different parts of this basic scheme .   Although the scheme itself ( inputs → process → outputs ) remains mostly unchallenged , there are some indications that this business model will undergo major restructurings in the future ( in the emerging stages of Evolution of Management Systems ) . It will become disaggregated and distributed , subjected to non-linear modularity and bringing forth new ways of making things and delivering services . Then it will become reintegrated again , tying together globally distributed components into a unified recycling whole .

neg: Sales engineering Sales engineering is a hybrid of sales and engineering that exists in industrial and commercial markets . Buying decisions in these markets are made differently than those in many consumer contexts , being based more on technical information and rational analysis and less on style , fashion , or impulse . Therefore , selling in these markets can not depend on consumer-type sales methods alone , and instead it relies heavily on technical information and problem-solving to convince buyers that they should spend money on the seller 's products or services , in order to meet a business need ( that is , to satisfy a business case ) . A sales engineer is thus both `` a salesperson that understands and can apply engineering '' and `` an engineer that understands how to sell engineered systems '' . They thus not only sell but also provide advice and support . They provide this service to various internal or external customers , and they may work for a manufacturer ( servicing its industrial-account/business-to-business customers ) , for a distributor ( which in turn services the industrial-account/business-to-business customers ) , or for a third party such as an engineering consultancy or a systems integrator .   Sales Engineers are a critical sales team member in many companies and industries around the world . They are more than just technical experts in their respective industries . Highly successful sales engineers must build and maintain parallel expertise in `` soft skill '' disciplines such as business acumen , presentation skills , building customer relationships , developing an engagement strategy , and having a thorough understanding of the targeted industry . Many companies have difficulty finding people who possess these qualities , plus have extensive technical knowledge .   The essence of the sales engineering role can be called by various names . Which name is most apt can even depend on which industry it is used in . Some common job titles that involve the essence of sales engineering include Sales Engineer , Solutions Engineer , Systems Engineer , Customer Engineer , ( pre-sales ) consultant , Technical Account Manager ; Applications Engineer or Field Applications Engineer , and others . The term systems engineering has various shades of meaning , however , as it is often more or less synonymous with industrial engineering ; but in any market economy , industrial engineers will often end up providing some sales engineering as a necessary portion of their work . Service technicians in industrial fields may also find that their work challenges them to provide some sales engineering , to whatever extent they are capable of providing it , because they interface with customers having problems with equipment ( or lacking the right equipment ) and seeking solutions ( anywhere from diagnosis and repair , to identifying entirely different systems that could be used instead ) .

JobMate is a rebranded product line for entry-level tools sold by Canadian Tire   The MotoMaster line has shrunk somewhat in recent years as the store has moved towards brand name products . For example , in early 2003 , the line of MotoMaster spark plugs was fully discontinued in favour of carrying only brand names such as Champion , NGK , AC Delco , and Bosch . In 2004 , the Formula 1 line of oil filters was discontinued , and in 2002 , the ` Motomaster 60 ' line of batteries was replaced with the more generic ` Sure Start ' . One reason for the gradual reduction of the MotoMaster line is the existence of the PartSource chain , of which 63 locations are fully owned and operated by the Canadian Tire Corporation as of May 2007 . Though these stores carry many of the same products and share much of their supply chain , Part Source operates at arms length from Canadian Tire but shares some backoffice operations .   Although the MotoMaster name remains on a wide variety of tires , the selection has shrunk recently . In 2004 , MotoMaster discontinued the Sentinel A/S and Touring 160 tires leaving the brand with the Touring AW/H and SE2 lines . MotoMaster dropped their Performance line of tires and Canadian Tire no longer has a specific Premium Tire category having folded it into the Touring categories .   Some regard MotoMaster as the entry level quality and price point line of tires despite the tires being produced for Canadian Tire by larger companies such as Goodyear ( Nordic ) ; Michelin ( SE2 ) , Cooper ( SE3 ) and BF Goodrich .

The three mixtapes received widespread critical acclaim upon release , and proceeded the release of the compilation album Trilogy . In 2013 , he released his debut studio album Kiss Land , which debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 . It was later confirmed to have sold over 273,000 copies in the United States .   The Weeknd released his second album , Beauty Behind the Madness , in 2015 , breaking chart records in the process . It saw him become the first ever artist to have simultaneously held the top three spots on the Billboard Hot R&B Songs chart , with `` Earned It '' , `` The Hills '' , and `` Ca n't Feel My Face '' . It also became his first number one album on the US Billboard 200 , and saw triple platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America ( RIAA ) .

neg: Take the Leap! Leap ! and Take the Leap ! are the names for Toyah Willcox 's project subsequent to Ophelia 's Shadow . It consists of six new tracks , either previously unrecorded or written for the new album , and eight older tracks re-recorded with her new band .   It was originally released as Leap ! , a cassette-only tour album , and was sold at concerts during her 1993 tour . A CD version called Take the Leap ! was released in Japan the following year . A UK release finally happened in 2006 , and consequently original copies of the album have become much sought after . The album 's first ever digital release came in December 2014 when it was made available to download at iTunes and Amazon and to stream via Spotify .   Again , it shows a change in style from previous recordings , and has a much more raw feel than the polished albums which preceded it . Many of the 6 ` original/new ' compositions had been written and demoed much earlier , including `` Invisible Love '' in 1989 with Simon Darlow . A glutch of demos recorded with Phil Nicholas in 1992 , were also re-worked from their dancey ambient style into albums tracks with a rockier feel , namely `` God Ceases to Dream '' and `` Now I 'm Running '' . Another demo from these sessions with Nicholas , `` Tears For Elie '' found a home as a bonus track on the 2006 reissue CD , along with `` Requite Me '' , a stray 1992 demo produced by Toyah and Simon Darlow .   `` God Ceases to Dream '' is a track which was written and recorded as an ambient electronic demo with Phil Nicholas . It contains lyrics and melodies Toyah had originally written and performed with collaborative band side-projects , as the songs `` Born Again '' with Sunday All Over the World , and `` Broken Special ( The Island ) '' with Kiss of Reality . The latter was recorded and appeared on the Kiss of Reality sophoremore studio album , whilst `` Born Again '' was never recorded in studio . The chanting at the beginning of this album 's version of `` Ieya '' are lyrics ( which crib The Lord 's Prayer ) which also appeared on the Kiss of Reality album opening track `` Harlequin ( Holy Day ) '' .   `` Lust for Love '' had previously been written and performed live as a Strange Girls song , and later recorded as a demo by Cris Bonacci and Toyah . The version found on this album is subtly altered .   `` It 's a Mystery '' was due to appear on the album in a version recorded with Phil Nicholas and Friday Forever which was an African dance , tribal metal rock version . Complications at the time of original release meant this could not occur and a straightforward rock version featured . The 2006 reissue of Take the Leap ! on Edsel includes this previously unreleased version .
