Cleopatra VII left a legacy after ruling as Egypt's queen during the Ptolemaic period. She was a proud daughter of Ptolemy Auletes and had a brother called Ptolemy Dionysius (Lempriere, 1833). Cleopatra VII mastered the art of winning against her opponents by always ensuring that everything is done appropriately if it is done her way. She was deeply endowed with richness, beauty, sensual charm, and shrewdness (Lempriere, 1833). These became her trademarks until her mysterious death. Various accounts have provided public with information about her death. As much as there are conflicting accounts regarding her death, there seems to be some of agreement on the events preceding Cleopatra VII's death. Her death resulted from a complex web of conspiracies, which she exploited to ensure that she always remained favorable in the eyes of her enemies and friends.
Cleopatra VII supported Brutus and that is why Antony demanded of her to make a formal appearance before him (Lempriere, 1833). This took place during his official expedition to Parthia. Cleopatra made an appearance in the most magnificent apparel, and her stunning beauty caught the eyes of Antony who then decided to marry her (Lempriere, 1833). For Cleopatra VII, this was a strategic move because it increased her chances of fulfilling her interests. This act of marriage between Antony and Cleopatra was a sign of weakness on Antony's behalf because he overlooked the association between her and Augustus' sister, Octavia (Lempriere, 1833). As a result, there was a major split that occurred between August and Antony. Their split blamed Cleopatra VII, who was now perceived as an opportunistic intruder seeking for revenge over the incidents that had taken place between her and Caesar.
Blindly, Antony proceeded to subdivide the greatest part of Roman Empire's, Eastern province, and gave it to Cleopatra VII as a bridal gift (Lempriere, 1833). The gift was to serve as a sign of the nuptial union that had taken place between the two. This gift seriously angered Augustus and caused a rift between him and Antony (Lempriere, 1833). Afterwards, the two shared different ideological views. August and Antony were both celebrated icons of the Roman Empire (Lempriere, 1833). Thus, August felt as if the entire glory was shifting towards Antony. They met at Actium to sort out their differences where Cleopatra decided to abandon Antony at the battlefront, and Antony was defeated (Lempriere, 1833). Cleopatra fled to her territory in Egypt.
In his quest to find Cleopatra, Antony decided to follow her to Egypt. An emissary provided Antony with false information that Cleopatra was dead; consequently, making Antony inflict self-harm with an aim of committing suicide (Lempriere, 1833). Cleopatra took Antony's body and hanged it as a monument outside one of her windows until he died. This served as a symbol of her success in outwitting Rome. Later, August made a solemn declaration of love to Cleopatra with an aim of avenging Antony's death (Lempriere, 1833). Cleopatra could not face this reality; therefore, she agitated an asp to bite her, which led to her death (Lempriere, 1833).
The death of Cleopatra VII had a major impact because of the mixed interpretations that accompanied it. Her death came at a time when she had amassed admiration because of her careful tact of doing things. Even in her death, she had avoided potential death and public disgrace in the eyes of her tormentor, August, who wanted to show his might. According to Rollin (1812) "to avoid serving as an ornament in Caesar's triumph, she dies by the bite of an aspic" (p.282). In this regard, Cleopatra's death dealt a major blow to Egypt's resilience and status as a strong nation capable of amassing a legion of fighters to save its territorial integrity. The fact that Cleopatra was not able to do this implied that Egypt had surrendered its prowess, which had been earned over a significant period.
Cleopatra's death implied that Egypt has finally fallen as a captive nation. This is because Egypt turned in a Roman province after it took place (Lempriere, 1833). In essence, the death of Cleopatra marks the victory of Rome over Egypt in the battle of Actium, and to symbolize their win, the Romans later display a dummy of the queen and an asp biting her arm (Lempriere, 1833). Thus, by using the dummy, the Romans illustrated the submissive nature of Egypt to the entire Mediterranean world. Additionally, the fact that Cleopatra VII was a woman, Rome was passing a message that women could not be trusted as rulers. Moreover, they were strengthening the fact that a patriarchal ruling system was more reliable than the matriarch system that Egypt promoted.
Cleopatra's death marked the end of the pharaoh rule in Egypt. For a long time the Egypt's pharaohs have been associated with massive corruption and exploitation of the country's wealth. The adoration given to the Pharaohs was similar to that given to the Deity. For example, Cleopatra VII always dressed to emulate the goddess of Isis (Lempriere, 1833). This implies that the pharaohs were fondly regarded as symbolic reincarnations of the much-adored gods of the Greek society. As a result, they would gladly engage in splendor using the resources of the society with little consideration of the people. For example, in one feast that she arranged for Antony, she generously melted pearls into her drink with an aim of rendering the entertainment an expensive one (Lempriere, 1833). This shows the utter exploitation that existed among the pharaoh's of Egypt; hence, the death of Cleopatra VII was an important transition to a new rule albeit a dictatorial one.
Cleopatra's death enabled Rome to regain its territorial superiority in the expansive Mediterranean geographical entity. This is because of the nuptial union between Cleopatra VII and Antony, a significant portion of the eastern Mediterranean lands were allocated to Caesarian and his children, which had been labeled as a scandal to Roman rule (Gagarin & Fantham, 2010). This implied that after the death of Cleopatra VII, August could now reverse some of the dynastic relations that had been formed between Rome and Egypt. Indeed, through Cleopatra VII's manipulations when she was alive, she had given birth to children from her union with Caesar and her relationship with Antony had further deepened the intrusion into Rome's ruling lineage. Gagarin & Fantham (2010) remarked that Cleopatra VII considered appearing as a foreign queen in the eyes of Rome; thus, she was a major threat to the continuity of the Roman order. Consequently, there was a major change in the dynastic relations since Egypt's lineage was gradually finding its way into Rome through Cleopatra VII. Hence, when she died, it meant that the associations could no longer continue, and Rome could reclaim its glory in the vast Mediterranean.
Cleopatra's death also marked the immortalization of the Greek gods who acquired universal significance in the expansive Mediterranean lands and Egypt (Bowman, 1996). This is due to the fact of the adoration given to Cleopatra with regard to the goddess of Isis. As a result, a traditional cult developed and expanded to the Mediterranean resulting in the development of new literature and art forms (Bowman, 1996). This also resulted in the extended admiration of the Ptolemaic dynasty using statues that revered by many. The death of Cleopatra also marked the transition from the Hellenistic society in to a unique period that became known as the Pax Romana (Gagarin & Fantham, 2010).
In the modern day society, Cleopatra's death has an influence on the interpretation of gender issues in society with regard to the female gender. According to Gagarin & Fantham (2010), Cleopatra was idolized as a symbol of women's power and beauty. As a result, throughout history, Cleopatra VII's death transformed the ideology of woman as a rule in society. Similar to certain women personalities in the modern world, Cleopatra VII had perfected the art of seduction to an unrivaled level. She has willingly and cleverly exploited the charm of her beauty to affect men. She had characterized this response from men of her time as a weakness. As a result, she exploited all dimensions of it to ensure that she remained favorable. This was a clever way of protecting the integrity of her kingdom while at the same time infiltrating the Roman Empire.

NUR-SULTAN – Chairman of the KazMunayGas (KMG) national oil and gas company Magzum Mirzagaliyev informed Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev about the measures undertaken to stabilize the fuel and lubricants market in Kazakhstan on Sept. 8, reported the Akorda's press service.

According to Mirzagaliyev, Kazakhstan will process a record volume of petroleum products – 17 million tons this year.
KMG has decided to postpone scheduled repairs at the Shymkent and Atyrau refineries. The measure will allow the company to send up to 150,000 tons of diesel fuel to the domestic market. To meet the needs of the Kazakhstan Temir Zholy (KTZ) national railway and logistics company, KMG will import nearly 100,000 tons of diesel fuel.
The situation at the Caspian Pipeline Consortium marine terminal (CPC) is stable – shipments continue according to the schedule.


In antiquity, consciousness did not exist: only the "nous," the knowing mind, had a value. It is the philosophical modernity that gave about a consciousness. Descartes laid as the foundation of knowledge for consciousness has resisted the methodical doubt (see The Metaphysics of Descartes). Kant, Hegel, Sartre taking on board this achievement of modern philosophy.


Audits can prove taxing not only on residents' finances, but also on their emotional health. In some cases, the Internal Revenue Service even requires individuals to pay overdue taxes through wage garnishments and other severe methods, although those people may not have known that they owed additional money. One famous race car driver has found himself seeking tax relief after the IRS claimed that he failed to report more than $7 million in income during the 2007 and 2008 calendar years.
The 38-year-old driver, Juan Pablo Montoya, is accused of omitting millions of dollars from those tax returns. Even though the Colombian citizen admits that he likely overlooked about $800,000 in receipts and partnership income, he says the IRS figures are entirely inaccurate.
News reports show that the biggest point of contention in the man's tax case is a move he undertook to distribute the rights to his image before he made a move to the United States; he currently lives in Miami. The man had been racing in other locations throughout the world before relocating. Before arriving in the States, the man established his own limited liability company in the state of Delaware. In 2006, shortly before coming to America, the man allegedly sold the rights to his image to his own company. He then attempted to claim the value of the investment as amortized deductions that the IRS refused to honor.
The man is also accused of manipulating his residential status to avoid paying taxes on a multi-million dollar personal jet that he purchased for traveling to various NASCAR races. That move seems legitimate, however, according to FAA regulations, which put certain restrictions on non-U.S. citizens owning aircraft in the country.
Ultimately, tax maneuvers using business and other assets can provide reasonable accommodations for entrepreneurs such as this driver. The man has a right to work within the U.S. tax code to provide personal benefit while still complying with the law. Defendants who are accused of circumventing these procedures may benefit from the assistance of a qualified tax attorney, who can help them understand their legal and financial rights.

Workers Union Says: 'This Party's Over'
Posted on December 10, 2021 Workers Union
The Workers Union has issued a statement telling politicians that the party is over and it's time for both parties to get to work.
In a passionate plea for unity, a spokesperson for the organisation said: 'By now we have all seen the footage of former government advisor Allegra Stratton tearfully falling on her sword. Now the baying for blood has been answered, we should draw a line under the affair and come together to tackle the latest COVID crisis.'
Stratton was caught on a video obtained by ITV, laughing about how to describe a Christmas Party held in Downing Street at the same time as the rest of London was under tier 3 restrictions.
During a statement delivered in front of her home on Wednesday, Stratton said she would 'regret the remarks' for the 'rest of her days.'
At the same time, PM Boris Johnson was put under extreme pressure at Prime Minister's Questions. In lively exchanges with Labour Leader Sir Kier Starmer, Mr Johnson admitted to being 'furious' about the clip. He added that he was setting up an investigation to see whether Downing Street staff had flouted the rules last Christmas.
However, Sir Kier insisted that the public had been 'taken for fools':
'They knew there was a party, they knew it was against the rules, they knew they couldn't admit it, and they thought it was funny. It is obvious what happened,' he told a packed House of Commons.
This latest incident has occurred against a backdrop of tightening restrictions as the country battles to contain the Omicron variant of COVID-19. From last Wednesday, the government announced that it was encouraging home working as well as making mask-wearing mandatory in cinemas, theatres and most other in-door situations.
The Workers Union Says…
The government has shed a spokesperson and politicians of other stripes have taken advantage of an open goal. Now that the blood-letting is almost over, we need to quickly refocus and make an intelligent assessment of where we are.
There is a danger, in these situations, that we lose sight of the fact that people and their safety are at the centre of this affair. Despite temptations to the contrary, we should be prepared to give kudos to the scientists and brave NHS workers for delivering a programme of vaccination that has kick-started the economic pulse of our country and given millions of people hope.
So let's acknowledge that "Strattongate" has neither been big, nor clever, but move on from it quickly in an act of national determination and unity. We have to with Omicron threatening to breakout.

John Steinbeck — The Grapes of Wrath
All, Classic
"The Grapes of Wrath" was inspired by a series of articles he wrote for the San Francisco News about the plight of the migrant farmers in California's Central Valley. His series, which he called "Their Blood Is Strong", reveals the dire poverty, oppression of the migrants by callous landowners, and the labor unrest he witnessed. He even visited the camp built by the federal government called Weedpatch, where he met Tom Collins, the director, on whom he modeled the camp director in the novel. The articles brought him death threats, an FBI investigation, and charges of Communist sympathy, never proven. In 1940 the book was adapted into a film directed by John Ford and starring Henry Fonda as Tom Joad.

Trump plans to pardon former aide Michael Flynn -source
Trump could still change his mind on the planned pardon
U.S. President Donald Trump arrives for the presentation (and pardoning) of the 73rd National Thanksgiving Turkey in the Rose Garden at the White House in Washington, U.S., November 24, 2020.

WASHINGTON: U.S. President Donald Trump has told allies he plans to pardon his former national security adviser Michael Flynn who had pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI during an investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election, a source familiar with the situation said on Tuesday.
The source said Trump could still change his mind on the planned pardon, which was first reported by Axios.
Flynn, a retired Army general, pleaded guilty in 2017 to lying to the FBI about interactions he had with Russia's ambassador to the United States in the weeks before Trump took office.
But he has since sought to withdraw the plea, arguing that prosecutors violated his rights and duped him into a plea agreement.

KNOXVILLE — Branstetter, Stranch & Jennings, PLLC (BS&J) of Nashville has filed a class action lawsuit against United Community Bank (UCB). BS&J filed the lawsuit with Cohen & Malad, LLP (C&M) of Indianapolis, Indiana.
Plaintiff Dennis A. Jones, on behalf of himself and others similarly situated throughout the U.S., filed the suit.

The lawsuit is brought as a class action under Rule 23 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
• UCB engaged in deceptive acts or practices relating to the imposition of overdraft fees on consumers in violation of the Georgia Fair Business Practices Act.
• Actual and punitive damages.
United Community Bank has three branches in Knoxville - 10514 Kingston Pike (Farragut), 11134 Kingston Pike (Farragut), and 9610 Countryside Center Lane (Farragut).


Call me fanciful, but I like to think of my selection of ETFs (Exchange Traded Funds) as a bunch of yield-hungry gunslingers roaming the West (and the East, for that matter), looking for easy pickings - much like the Wild Bunch. In fact I could call my 'international' ETFs the Magnificent Seven.
But I digress: gunslingers are usually paid by results, so how have they done? And I've just thrown some more cash in their direction - are they going to make a killing?
Regular readers will recall that I turned to ETFs rather reluctantly, as I don't like paying someone else (like a fund manager) to do what I can do myself (and seemingly more successfully too).
However, I did begin to worry that my life savings were committed to savings and investments denominated solely in UK Sterling, so I began to diversify globally. But this is difficult to do as a small investor due to the tax and currency complications, so I turned to ETFs, which are available in all sorts of styles and which manage the admin side for a (usually) reasonable charge. ETFs also give you instant diversification, which is nice, but have the downside of being more volatile than my usual set of London-based investments.
IUKD: iShares FTSE UK Dividend Plus ETF: the 50 highest-yielding FTSE 350 stocks, excluding investment trusts, selected and weighted by one-year forecast dividend yield.
ISXF: iShares Markit iBoxx £ Corporate Bond ex-Financials ETF: sterling-denominated, investment-grade corporate bonds, issued by non-financial organisations, with a minimum remaining time to maturity of one year and a minimum amount outstanding of £100 million.
(Follow the links for more information on these.) As you can see, the ETFs are based on either dividend shares or fixed-income, covering different geographical or currency regions (or the world!).
Overall, ETFs make up 15% of my portfolio and I intend to increase their share as a way of 'banking' the proceeds of my more speculative investments. Of course, ETFs themselves have a degree of primarily market risk, as well as currency risks although they are usually well diversified between different holdings.
So, Emerging Markets have not performed at all well - the price has fallen by nearly three-years-worth of dividends!
But my strategy is to top up my holdings when the yields are attractive (i.e. when the prices are depressed), so I have today topped up my holding of EMDV, specialising in Emerging Markets dividends, heavily weighted towards Brazil, Taiwan and China.
The Wild Bunch would be right at home!
Update 12/12/13: The process has continued: ETFs now make up 30% of the portfolio.
Do you hold the Equity ETFs outside of an ISA ?
I ask because my wife is a basic rate taxpayer and I plan to open ETFs in her name. I believe she will not pay tax on the dividends (which I plan to re-invest immediately anyway)but I understand she still needs to inform the Revenue about dividend payments even though their is no additional paperwork.... is that correct ?
Yes - I hold all these in an ISA or SIPP: the simplest option really from a tax point of view.
Thanks DIY, informative as ever.
or do you prefer ETF's instead of them.
Good question Matt - I have only looked briefly at ITs. My problem with them is that it is not always transparent what they are doing. They often use leverage as well as holding back dividends to cover bad years. Although many of them claim a consistent rising dividend, the rises are often wafer-thin. At least with most ETFs - the ones I use at any rate - the investment process is pretty mechanical and well documented: for better or worse.
Ever thought of opening a USA based $ account and investing in blue chips like Coke, proctor gamble, Johnson & Johnson etc to help with diversification ?
Interesting to see EMDV has Taiwan as one of its major areas. I live here and considering that 80% of business has relocated to the mainland over the last ten years the economy is shrinking on a yearly basis against higher costs. Most Taiwanese would certainly not invest in the Taiex here these days. They mainly look to the american market to invest in.
I also hold EMDV - a fairly large invesment which has performed very poorly. I have not increased my holding despite my contrarian aspirations for two reasons. Firsty it has a cap of <£50m despite being around for some time now. I have experience of ETFs being forcibly shut down when the cap stays below £100m or so. Also it has a turnover rate rate of 130%! Hardly buy and hold and not great for keeping costs low. Do these isuues not concern you?
I assume it is paid gross - but I should check, shouldn't I!
