Second Vermont Republic
The Second Vermont Republic (SVR, 2VR) is a secessionist group within the U.S. state of Vermont which seeks to restore the formerly independent status of the Vermont Republic (1777–91).

Che with vertical stroke
Che with vertical stroke (Ҹ ҹ; italics: Ҹ ҹ) is a letter of the Cyrillic script. Its form is derived from the Cyrillic letter Che (Ч ч Ч ч).

Che with vertical stroke is used in the alphabet of the Azeri language, where it represents the voiced postalveolar affricate /d͡ʒ/, like the pronunciation of ⟨j⟩ in "jump". The corresponding letter in the Latin alphabet is ⟨C c⟩.

Che with vertical stroke corresponds in other Cyrillic alphabets to the digraphs ⟨дж⟩ or ⟨чж⟩, or to the letters Che with descender (Ҷ ҷ), Dzhe (Џ џ), Khakassian Che (Ӌ ӌ), Zhe with breve (Ӂ ӂ), Zhe with diaeresis (Ӝ ӝ), or Zhje (Җ җ).

From 1958 until 1991, it was used in the Azerbaijani alphabet to represent /d͡ʒ/; in this alphabet it is found in the name of Azerbaijan: «Азәрбајҹан». The Azerbaijani Cyrillic alphabet and ⟨ҹ⟩ continue to be used to write Azerbaijani in Dagestan. The letter is also used in the Tat and Judeo-Tat alphabets in Azerbaijan.

Azerbaijani alphabet
The Azerbaijani alphabet has three versions, which include the Arabic, Latin, and Cyrillic alphabets.

North Azerbaijani, the main variety spoken in the Republic of Azerbaijan, is written in the Latin script. After the fall of the Soviet Union, this superseded previous versions based on the Cyrillic and Arabic scripts.

South Azerbaijani, the language spoken in Iran's Azerbaijan region, is written in a modified Arabic script since the Safavid Empire.

Azerbaijanis of Dagestan still use the Cyrillic script.

Pinguosteus
Pinguosteus thulborni is a species of arthrodire placoderm from the Gogo Reef Formation, of Late Devonian Australia.  The proportions of its armor, coupled with the relative lack of otherwise diagnostic ornamentation on the armor make its classification difficult, and so it was placed as incertae sedis within the placoderm group Coccosteina. It is the only known species of the genus Pinguosteus.

Arthrodira
Arthrodira (Greek for "jointed neck") is an order of extinct armored, jawed fishes of the class Placodermi that flourished in the Devonian period before their sudden extinction, surviving for about 50 million years and penetrating most marine ecological niches. Arthrodires were the largest and most diverse of all groups of placoderms.
