[M]Mayor Jasiel Correia[/M] (JAY’-zil koh-RAY’-uh) declined to step down after being [M]charged last year[/M] with defrauding investors in an app he developed.
When a 23-year-old Cape Verdean was elected mayor of Fall River, some saw the birth of a star: a fresh face among the usual suspects of Massachusetts politics. But when federal prosecutors charged Mayor Jasiel Correia with stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars from investors, it prompted Gov. Charlie Baker — who Correia had crossed party lines to endorse — to ask the mayor to step aside. And perhaps more stinging, the city council cast a vote of no confidence and the residents of Fall River organized to recall him from office. Far from heeding the widespread calls to step down, Correia pleaded not guilty to all the charges, and the go-to phrase among his supporters was established: "innocent until proven guilty." While his criminal case is ongoing, Correia's fate as mayor will be decided by a citywide election Tuesday. Polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. “I’m going to be voting against the recall; voting for Jasiel,” said city resident Jonas Correia, who has no relation to the mayor, during his lunch break at a sandwich shop in Fall River. He said Correia should not be judged by the allegations he’s facing, but by the work he’s done since the indictment came down five months ago. And by that measure, he said, the mayor is doing an excellent job. “[The court case] hasn't really been a factor at all,” Jonas Correia said, adding that the mayor has been good for first responders. But that doesn't mean it's OK to commit wire fraud, he added.

FALL RIVER, Mass. (AP) — Voters in Fall River are deciding whether to remove their embattled mayor from office. A recall election is scheduled for Tuesday in the southeastern Massachusetts city.

After the death of Cleopatra, Egypt became a province of the Roman Empire, marking the end of the second to last Hellenistic state and the age that had lasted since [M]the reign of Alexander (336–323 BC)[/M].
Cleopatra VII Philopator (ancient Greek Κλεοπάτρα Θεά Φιλοπάτωρ Cleopátra Theá Philopátōr; * 69 BC in Alexandria; † August 12, 30 BC there) ruled as the last queen of the Hellenistic Ptolemaic Empire and at the same time as the last female Pharaoh of 51 BC . Until 30 BC Cleopatra is not an Egyptian, but a Macedonian name. During the first four years she ruled together with her brother Ptolemy XIII., 47 BC. Chr. Died at the age of 14, later with other male co-rulers, since Rome's legal regulations provided for a double occupation of the throne under the guarantee of Rome. She wanted to consolidate and expand her empire, but could not achieve this goal against the world power Rome. Therefore, she won the two most powerful Romans of her time, first Gaius Julius Caesar and, after his murder, Marcus Antonius, as lovers, and with their help was able to significantly improve the power of the Ptolemaic Empire for some time. Antonius ’defeat by the later Emperor Augustus meant the end of their rule. Cleopatra and Antony committed suicide and Egypt became the Roman province of Aegyptus. The love drama of Antony and Cleopatra, the relationship between the Egyptian queen and Caesar and the mysterious circumstances of her death have stimulated human imagination since ancient times and inspired numerous important writers, composers, painters and, since the 20th century, film producers.

Died at the age of 14, later with other male co-rulers, since Rome's legal regulations provided for a double occupation of the throne under the guarantee of Rome.

Antonius ’defeat by the later Emperor Augustus meant the end of their rule. Cleopatra and Antony committed suicide and Egypt became the Roman province of Aegyptus.

Cleopatra VII Philopator (ancient Greek Κλεοπάτρα Θεά Φιλοπάτωρ Cleopátra Theá Philopátōr; * 69 BC in Alexandria; † August 12, 30 BC there) ruled as the last queen of the Hellenistic Ptolemaic Empire and at the same time as the last female Pharaoh of 51 BC . Until 30 BC Cleopatra is not an Egyptian, but a Macedonian name. During the first four years she ruled together with her brother Ptolemy XIII., 47 BC. Chr. Died at the age of 14, later with other male co-rulers, since Rome's legal regulations provided for a double occupation of the throne under the guarantee of Rome. She wanted to consolidate and expand her empire, but could not achieve this goal against the world power Rome. Therefore, she won the two most powerful Romans of her time, first Gaius Julius Caesar and, after his murder, Marcus Antonius, as lovers, and with their help was able to significantly improve the power of the Ptolemaic Empire for some time. Antonius ’defeat by the later Emperor Augustus meant the end of their rule. Cleopatra and Antony committed suicide and Egypt became the Roman province of Aegyptus. The love drama of Antony and Cleopatra, the relationship between the Egyptian queen and Caesar and the mysterious circumstances of her death have stimulated human imagination since ancient times and inspired numerous important writers, composers, painters and, since the 20th century, film producers.

Cleopatra VII Philopator (Greek: Κλεοπάτρα Φιλοπάτωρ; 69 BC – 10 August 30 BC) was Queen of the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt, and its last active ruler. A member of the Ptolemaic dynasty, she was a descendant of its founder Ptolemy I Soter, a Macedonian Greek general and companion of Alexander the Great. After the death of Cleopatra, Egypt became a province of the Roman Empire, marking the end of the second to last Hellenistic state and the age that had lasted since the reign of Alexander (336–323 BC). Her native language was Koine Greek, and she was the only Ptolemaic ruler to learn the Egyptian language. In 58 BC, Cleopatra presumably accompanied her father, Ptolemy XII Auletes, during his exile to Rome after a revolt in Egypt (a Roman client state) allowing his daughter Berenice IV to claim the throne. Berenice was killed in 55 BC when Ptolemy returned to Egypt with Roman military assistance. When he died in 51 BC, the joint reign of Cleopatra and her brother Ptolemy XIII began, but a falling-out between them led to open civil war. After losing the 48 BC Battle of Pharsalus in Greece against his rival Julius Caesar (a Roman dictator and consul) in Caesar's Civil War, the Roman statesman Pompey fled to Egypt. Pompey had been a political ally of Ptolemy XII, but Ptolemy XIII, at the urging of his court eunuchs, had Pompey ambushed and killed before Caesar arrived and occupied Alexandria. Caesar then attempted to reconcile the rival Ptolemaic siblings, but Ptolemy's chief adviser, Potheinos, viewed Caesar's terms as favoring Cleopatra, so his forces besieged her and Caesar at the palace.

Cleopatra VII Philopator (Greek: Κλεοπάτρα Φιλοπάτωρ; 69 BC – 10 August 30 BC) was Queen of the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt, and its last active ruler. A member of the Ptolemaic dynasty, she was a descendant of its founder Ptolemy I Soter, a Macedonian Greek general and companion of Alexander the Great. After the death of Cleopatra, Egypt became a province of the Roman Empire, marking the end of the second to last Hellenistic state and the age that had lasted since the reign of Alexander (336–323 BC). Her native language was Koine Greek, and she was the only Ptolemaic ruler to learn the Egyptian language. In 58 BC, Cleopatra presumably accompanied her father, Ptolemy XII Auletes, during his exile to Rome after a revolt in Egypt (a Roman client state) allowing his daughter Berenice IV to claim the throne. Berenice was killed in 55 BC when Ptolemy returned to Egypt with Roman military assistance. When he died in 51 BC, the joint reign of Cleopatra and her brother Ptolemy XIII began, but a falling-out between them led to open civil war. After losing the 48 BC Battle of Pharsalus in Greece against his rival Julius Caesar (a Roman dictator and consul) in Caesar's Civil War, the Roman statesman Pompey fled to Egypt. Pompey had been a political ally of Ptolemy XII, but Ptolemy XIII, at the urging of his court eunuchs, had Pompey ambushed and killed before Caesar arrived and occupied Alexandria. Caesar then attempted to reconcile the rival Ptolemaic siblings, but Ptolemy's chief adviser, Potheinos, viewed Caesar's terms as favoring Cleopatra, so his forces besieged her and Caesar at the palace.
