Quezon City Pride Council (QCPC) is a council created for the purpose of enforcing LGBT rights and gender-based policies and programs for LGBT individuals in Quezon City, Philippines. Formed in March 2013, it is the first of its kind in the Philippines. The Quezon City Pride Council (QCPC) was formed to oversee the integration of all city programs and projects for the LGBT community. 

The QCPC was created through an office order during the term of Mayor Herbert Bautista, and was formally launched on March 25, 2013. The Council is composed of notable individuals that promotes and advocates LGBT rights from different industry and profession; also part of the Council are members of the local government.

Projects

Shortly after its creation in March 2013, QCPC launched the month-long World Pride Festival in August 2013 to promote LGBT awareness. Planned activities included a clean-up drive, an art exhibit, an LGBT summit, the In QCity Independent Film Festival, and a World Pride March, slated for December 7th of that year. However, the event was cancelled due to Typhoon Haiyan, which devastated the Central Philippines in November of the same year.

Health
In Partnership with the City Health Office, the Pride Council successfully conducted the HIV/AIDS Seminar and Orientation in the 142nd barangays of Quezon City.

Awareness
An International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia was staged in partnership with the Office of the Mayor and Vice Mayor, the Association of Transgender People in the Philippines, and other LGBT organizations in the country. More than 300 individuals, mostly transgender men and women, participated.

The QCPC participated in the National Conference and Meeting on Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity and Expression (SOGIE) and HIV/AIDS training in Butuan City from August 7th to 10th, 2014. Led by Chairperson Direk Soxie Topacio, the QCPC Team presented on the second day the mission, vision, and core values of the Pride Council. Erwin Joselito Ulanday also discussed the projects and advocacies of the Pride Council since its conception and Jeffklein Glodove promoted the upcoming events highlighting the QCPC Pride March and International Pink Festival.

Environmental Activism
In partnership with Environment Protection and Waste Management Department, LGBT organizations, and private individuals, a clean-up drive dubbed “Ilog mo, Irog Ko, Buhay Ko” ("Your river, My river, My life") was held at Barangay Masambong, District 1, Quezon City in celebration June being Environment Month.

Henry Wharton was an English soldier known for his service in the Williamite War in Ireland, where he died in 1689. He was a distant relation of his namesake the writer Henry Wharton.

Life
Wharton was the son of Philip Wharton, 4th Baron Wharton. He was first commissioned into the English Army in 1674 during the reign of Charles II. During the reign of James II, while still a Captain, he was an active participant in the conspiracy against the King which also included his father and brother Thomas Wharton. During the Glorious Revolution in 1688 he was one of a number of army officers who defected to William III's invading Dutch Army at Exeter. After the Revolution he was promoted to command the old regiment of Lord Lichfield.

Wharton's regiment was reformed and sent to Ireland, where Jacobite supporters of King James still held power. In August 1689 Wharton and his regiment landed in County Down as part of Marshal Schomberg's expedition and were tasked with securing Belfast whose Jacobite garrison had abandoned the town. Wharton's men subsequently participated in the successful Siege of Carrickfergus. During the final negotiations for surrender, Wharton's troops remained poised to assault the town as an inducement for the Jacobites to agree terms. On 28 October 1689 he died of illness at Dundalk Camp, during the stand-off between the rival armies of Schomberg and James II. He was one of thousands of Williamite casualties, who suffered from exposure in the climate during their time at Dundalk.

After Wharton's death, his regiment came under the command of Richard Brewer and served in Flanders during the Nine Years' War. He developed a reputation as both a notorious duellist and womaniser. In 1686 he killed Lieutenant Robert Moxon, an Irish Catholic officer in his own regiment in a duel.

In mathematics, a shelling of a simplicial complex is a way of gluing it together from its maximal simplices (simplices that are not a face of another simplex) in a well-behaved way. A complex admitting a shelling is called shellable.

Definition

A d-dimensional simplicial complex is called pure if its maximal simplices all have dimension d. Let  be a finite or countably infinite simplicial complex. An ordering  of the maximal simplices of  is a shelling if the complex 
 
is pure and of dimension  for all . That is, the "new" simplex  meets the previous simplices along some union  of top-dimensional simplices of the boundary of . If  is the entire boundary of  then  is called spanning.

For  not necessarily countable, one can define a shelling as a well-ordering of the maximal simplices of  having analogous properties.

Properties

 A shellable complex is homotopy equivalent to a wedge sum of spheres, one for each spanning simplex of corresponding dimension.
 A shellable complex may admit many different shellings, but the number of spanning simplices and their dimensions do not depend on the choice of shelling. This follows from the previous property.

Examples

 Every Coxeter complex, and more generally every building (in the sense of Tits), is shellable.

 The boundary complex of a (convex) polytope is shellable. Note that here, shellability is generalized to the case of polyhedral complexes (that are not necessarily simplicial).

 There is an unshellable triangulation of the tetrahedron.

Navy House was the official residence of the Commander of the Sri Lanka Navy, located in SLN Dockyard, Trincomalee, Sri Lanka. It was formerly the official residence of the naval officer commanding, HM Dockyard, Trincomalee and later the Commander-in-Chief, East Indies Station of the Royal Navy.

History

The building was acquired for the Commander in Chief of the East Indies Station at a cost of £1,750 in 1810. A large bell, which was rung to summon sailors for duty, was donated by Rear-Admiral Charles Austen in 1850. The last British occupant of the building was Vice-Admiral Hilary Biggs. Security was provided by the Ceylon Rifle Regiment. On 15 October 1957, the Trincomalee Naval Dockyard was officially handed over by the Royal Navy to the Sri Lankan government and since then the property been a possession of the Sri Lanka Navy.

The 1848 Illinois gubernatorial election was the ninth election for this office.  Democratic governor Augustus C. French was easily re-elected. This was the first gubernatorial election in Illinois that was held on the same date as the United States presidential election.

This was the first election in which any governor was elected to a second term.  The Illinois Constitution of 1818, which had been replaced this same year, prohibited more than one consecutive term as governor, and Thomas Duncan was the only governor ever to attempt a second term, though it was not consecutive.

At this time in Illinois history the Lieutenant Governor was elected on a separate ballot from the governor. This would remain so until the 1970 constitution.

Millennium Square is a modern city square in Sheffield, England. It was created as part of the Heart of the City project that began in 1998 and has become a central feature in Sheffield's redeveloped city centre. It contains fountains in the shape of steel spheres, recalling Sheffield's past as a centre of the steel making industry, whilst linking with the fountains of the Peace Gardens, as well as Sheaf Square, Hallam Square and Barkers Pool. The square forms part of the 'Gold Route', designed by Sheffield City Council to guide visitors through the city centre from Sheffield Station to Devonshire Green.

Part of the space now part of the square was previously occupied by the Town Hall Extension. This building, constructed in the 1970s, was demolished in the early 2000s to make way for the wave of new developments in the Heart of the City project.

The Square, which is in fact triangular, was designed by Architects Allies and Morrison and is surrounded by new developments on three sides and the redeveloped Peace Gardens on the remaining side. The surface of the square is made up of a suspended concrete slab covered with granite and sandstone paving. The surface is covered with hundreds of LED lights which are used to illuminate both square itself and the steel water features throughout it.
The square is intended to form a link between the Winter and Peace Gardens and also the St Paul's Place development, which is home to Sheffield's tallest building. 
The square is surrounded in all sides by new or renovated structures, with the Peace Gardens and Town Hall on one side and a multitude of new buildings on the three remaining sides.

Water features

The steel balls in the square, of which are there are nine, are water features that were subject of a design competition held in 2003. The winner, artist Colin Rose, designed the feature in order to symbolise the steel, craftsmanship, stonework and water which are symbolic of Sheffield's industrial heritage. The Piece is called ‘Rain’ and is designed to evoke the falling of rain drops upon the ground, with the small pools at the base of each steel ball creating the ripple effect.

Schwarz und weiß wie Tage und Nächte  (Black and White Like Day and Night) is a West German film from 1978 directed by Wolfgang Petersen and starring Bruno Ganz.

Plot 
Thomas Rosemund, a scientist who swore off playing chess after a nervous breakdown as a young wunderkind, creates an undefeated chess program. However, the Russian world champ beats the program in a televised match. The West German mathematician becomes a top chess pro himself, which the West German media boast will prove the superiority of Germany and democracy. Rosemund believes that the entire Red Communist bloc is out to stop him from vanquishing their own Stefan Koruga, to become the next Bobby Fischer and a symbol that capitalism is preferable to socialism.

Critical reception
John Simon called Black and White Like Day and Night "the best film ever about chess".

Sea Pines is a historic archeological site located at Sea Pines Resort, Hilton Head Island, Beaufort County, South Carolina. The site is one of 20 or more prehistoric Indian shell middens in a ring shape located from the central coast of South Carolina to the central coast of Georgia.  It is believed to date early in the second millennium BC, and to contain some of the earliest pottery known in North America. The Sea Pines ring stands about two feet above a flat central area, which is about five feet above mean sea level.

It was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1970.

Charles Duncan McIver (September 27, 1860 – September 17, 1906) was the founder and first president of the institution now known as The University of North Carolina at Greensboro.

Life and career
He was born 1860 in Lee County, North Carolina and graduated from UNC-Chapel Hill, where he was a member of the Dialectic and Philanthropic Societies, in 1881. McIver became a teacher in Durham and Winston North Carolina until 1889 when he and Edwin A. Alderman were chosen by the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction to hold teacher institutes across the state.

As crusaders for women′s education, McIver and Alderman first drew up a plan for a state-supported teachers′ college in 1886. In 1891, they advocated for a new bill focused on a teachers′ college specifically for women (not co–educational). The North Carolina legislature passed this bill, and issued a charter for a ″Normal and Industrial School for White Girls″ on February 18, 1891.

McIver was chosen to be the first president of the State Normal and Industrial School (now UNCG), which opened to students on October 5, 1892. In addition to serving as president, he also taught many of the courses in the pedagogy department. His initial salary was $2250 per year.

McIver was married to Lula V. Martin and they had four children. He died on September 17, 1906 of apoplexy on a train taking William Jennings Bryan from Raleigh to Greensboro. He was buried in Greensboro.

UNCG's McIver Street, two former buildings (The McIver Memorial Building c1908-1956; and its replacement, The McIver Building 1958-2018 [both demolished]), and McIver Parking Deck are named after him, and a statue (dubbed "Charlie" by students) was erected in his honor. It was a campus tradition to paint messages and clothes on the beloved founder until the donation of "The Rawk" in 1973. A duplicate statue is on the grounds of the North Carolina state capitol in Raleigh. He is the only person honored on Capitol Square who was not a political or military leader.

Schools named in his honor include the former Charles D. McIver School at Greensboro, Charles McIver School in Kannapolis (opened in 1908, no longer in use) and the Charles Duncan McIver Special Education Center in Guilford County.
