Caesar and Cleopatra's Affair at the Expense of Calphurnia Abstract In the trailer to his 1934 film "Cleopatra", Cecil B. DeMille confidently suggests that the romance between the Queen of Egypt and Julius Caesar is one of history's grandest love affairs.

He collected used goods and clothes from the wealthy areas around the city and hired the underprivileged to restore and repair the used items (Goodwill, 2015).

Evolution of cloud computing over the past few years is potentially one of the major advances in the history of computing. Many computing applications are general-purpose in nature, and therefore offer tremendous economies of scale if their supply can be consolidated (Marston, Li, Bandyopadhyay, Zhang, & Ghalsasi, 2011).
