Charleston, South Carolina
Charleston is the oldest and second-largest city in the U.S. state of South Carolina, the county seat of Charleston County, and the principal city in the Charleston–North Charleston–Summerville Metropolitan Statistical Area. The city lies just south of the geographical midpoint of South Carolina's coastline and is located on Charleston Harbor, an inlet of the Atlantic Ocean formed by the confluence of the Ashley and Cooper Rivers, or, as is locally expressed, "where the Cooper and Ashley Rivers come together to form the Atlantic Ocean."
Midpoint polygon
In geometry, the midpoint polygon of a polygon is the polygon whose vertices are the midpoints of the edges of . It is sometimes called the Kasner polygon after Edward Kasner, who termed it the "inscribed polygon" "for brevity".
Edward Kasner
Edward Kasner (April 2, 1878 – January 7, 1955) was a prominent American mathematician who was appointed Tutor on Mathematics in the Columbia University Mathematics Department. Kasner was the first Jew appointed to a faculty position in the sciences at Columbia University. Subsequently, he became an adjunct professor in 1906, and a full professor in 1910, at the university. Differential geometry was his main field of study. In addition to introducing the term "googol", he is known also for the Kasner metric and the Kasner polygon.

Hexagon
In geometry, a hexagon (from Greek ἕξ hex, ``six ''and γωνία, gonía,`` corner, angle'') is a six sided polygon or 6 - gon. The total of the internal angles of any hexagon is 720 °.
Polygon
In elementary geometry, a polygon (/ ˈpɒlɪɡɒn /) is a plane figure that is bounded by a finite chain of straight line segments closing in a loop to form a closed polygonal chain or circuit. These segments are called its edges or sides, and the points where two edges meet are the polygon's vertices (singular: vertex) or corners. The interior of the polygon is sometimes called its body. An n - gon is a polygon with n sides; for example, a triangle is a 3 - gon. A polygon is a 2 - dimensional example of the more general polytope in any number of dimensions.

Montjuïc Cable Car
The Montjuïc Cable Car (officially Telefèric de Montjuïc, in Catalan) is a gondola lift in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. The cable car runs from a lower terminus adjacent to the Montjuïc Park upper station of the Montjuïc funicular, and climbs higher up the Montjuïc hill to a terminal near the Montjuïc Castle on the summit of the hill. At its midpoint, the line executes a 90 degree turn and the cabins pass through Mirador station, although only down-bound cabins stop at this point.
Hexagon
In geometry, a hexagon (from Greek ἕξ hex, ``six ''and γωνία, gonía,`` corner, angle'') is a six - sided polygon or 6 - gon. The total of the internal angles of any simple (non-self - intersecting) hexagon is 720 °.
Case House (Parkersburg, West Virginia)
Case House was a historic home located at Parkersburg, Wood County, West Virginia, United States. It was built about 1901, and was a 2½-story brick dwelling in the Queen Anne style. It features a three-story, polygonal corner tower and a multigabled roof.
Dunkirk evacuation
The Dunkirk evacuation, code - named Operation Dynamo, and also known as the Miracle of Dunkirk, was the evacuation of Allied soldiers during World War II from the beaches and harbour of Dunkirk, in the north of France, between 26 May and 4 June 1940. The operation commenced after large numbers of Belgian, British, and French troops were cut off and surrounded by German troops around the midpoint of the six - week long Battle of France. In a speech to the House of Commons, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill called this ``a colossal military disaster '', saying`` the whole root and core and brain of the British Army'' had been stranded at Dunkirk and seemed about to perish or be captured. In his ``we shall fight on the beaches ''speech on 4 June, he hailed their rescue as a`` miracle of deliverance''.
Equilateral triangle
In geometry, an equilateral triangle is a triangle in which all three sides are equal. In the familiar Euclidean geometry, equilateral triangles are also equiangular; that is, all three internal angles are also congruent to each other and are each 60 °. They are regular polygons, and can therefore also be referred to as regular triangles.
Newton polygon
Newton polygons are named after Isaac Newton, who first described them and some of their uses in correspondence from the year 1676 addressed to Henry Oldenburg.
Alfred Witte
Alfred Witte (2 March 1878 in Hamburg, Germany – 4 August 1941 in Hamburg, Germany), was a German surveyor, astrologer, an amateur astronomer, and the founder of the Hamburg School of Astrology. Witte revived and further developed the use of astrological midpoints (a+b)/2 for precision in astrological analysis and prediction.

Timaeus (crater)
Timaeus is a lunar impact crater in the northern part of the Moon, on the north edge of Mare Frigoris. It forms part of the southwestern wall of the large and irregular walled plain W. Bond. The rim of Timaeus is somewhat pentagonal in shape, with rounded corners. There is a central rise in the midpoint of the crater floor.
United States midterm election
Midterm elections in the United States refer to general elections in the United States that are held two years after the quadrennial (four - year) elections for the President of the United States (i.e. near the midpoint of the four - year presidential term). Federal offices that are up for election during the midterms are members of the United States Congress, including all 435 seats in the United States House of Representatives, and the full terms for 33 or 34 of the 100 seats in the United States Senate.
