The path of the nerve starts in the hypoglossal nucleus of the brainstem, which is located near the midline of the medulla oblongata, and then travels between the carotid artery and jugular vein to end up on the underside of the tongue. If there are problems with the hypoglossal nerve, the tongue may become paralyzed.
In modern times, the Ides of March is best known as the date on which Julius Caesar was assassinated in 44 BC. Caesar was stabbed to death at a meeting of the senate. As many as 60 conspirators, led by Brutus and Cassius, were involved.
Ides of March has a better ring to it. And yet all it means is halfway through the month.. Ides comes from an old Latin verb iduare, which meant to divide. It was the Roman term for the day that came in the middle of each month. Every month has an Ides. March had 31 days, so the Ides of March is on March 15.
