Military coups in Bangladesh
Bangladesh has undergone several changes of government since the Proclamation of Independence in 1971. Between the first recorded coup in August 1975 and the 2009 Bangladesh Rifles revolt, Bangladesh has been through as many as 29 military coups.

Proclamation of Bangladeshi Independence
The Proclamation of Bangladeshi Independence (Bengali: বাংলাদেশের স্বাধীনতার ঘোষণাপত্র), refers to the declaration of independence of East Pakistan as Bangladesh on 26 March 1971, at the onset of the Bangladesh Liberation War by Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. Next day on March 27 after Pakistan's brutal Operation Searchlight began killing unarmed people, Major Ziaur Rahman, broadcast the message on radio on behalf of detained leader Sheikh Mujibur Rahman from the Swadhin Bangla Betar Kendra radio station in Kalurghat, Chattogram.

Tambin
The tambin (also sereendu, fulannu or Fula flute) is a diagonal diatonic flute without a bell, made from a conical vine, with three finger-holes and a rectangular embouchure with two wings on either side. It is considered the national instrument of the Fula people of West Africa and is similar in its sound and quality to the Middle Eastern ney. The flute has a two and a half octave range, achieved by overblowing to different overtones. It is traditionally tuned to an approximately equidistant heptatonic scale. Players often employ a technique of singing alternately or simultaneously to blown notes. The flute was used in the 2018 Marvel movie Black Panther.

Overblowing
Overblowing is the manipulation of supplied air through a wind instrument that causes the sounded pitch to jump to a higher one without a fingering change or the operation of a slide. Overblowing may involve a change in the air pressure, in the point at which the air is directed, or in the resonance characteristics of the chamber formed by the mouth and throat of the player. (The latter is a feature of embouchure.)

In some instruments, overblowing involves the direct manipulation of the vibrating reed(s), and/or the pushing of a register key while otherwise leaving fingering unaltered.  With the exception of harmonica overblowing, the pitch jump is from one vibratory mode of the reed or air column, e.g., its fundamental, to an overtone. Overblowing can be done deliberately in order to get a higher pitch, or inadvertently, resulting in the production of a note other than intended.

Alacaris
Alacaris is an extinct genus of fuxianhuiid arthropod known from the Cambrian period. It is only known from the type species Alacaris mirabilis (mistakenly named Alacaris multinoda in a figure in the describing paper) from the Cambrian Stage 3 aged Xiaoshiba Lagerstätte in Yunnan Province, China. It is morphologically similar to Chengjiangocaris, with which it forms a clade within Fuxianhuiida. Individuals reach a maximum of 12 centimetres in length, with a trunk consisting of 13 tergites. The basal region of the post-deutocerebral limbs were used in feeding, with the rhythmic movement of the legs guiding food towards the mouth along the food groove between the limbs, with gnathobases present near the mouth to macerate food.

Tergum
A tergum (Latin for "the back"; pl.: terga, associated adjective tergal) is the dorsal ('upper') portion of an arthropod segment other than the head. The anterior edge is called the 'base' and posterior edge is called the 'apex' or 'margin'. A given tergum may be divided into hardened plates or sclerites commonly referred to as tergites.

In a thoracic segment, for example, the tergum may be divided into an anterior notum and a posterior scutellum. Lateral extensions of a tergite are known as paranota (Greek for "alongside the back") or carinae (Latin for "keel"), exemplified by the flat-backed millipedes of the order Polydesmida.

Kinorhynchs have tergal and sternal plates too, though seemingly not homologous with those of arthropods.

Tergo-tergal is a stridulatory mechanism in which fine spines of the abdominal tergites are rubbed together to produce sound. This process is known as abdominal telescoping.
Effie M. Morrissey
Effie M. Morrissey (now Ernestina-Morrissey) is a historic schooner on permanent display in New Bedford, Massachusetts.  Originally a "high liner" fishing the Grand Banks of Newfoundland out of Gloucester, Massachusetts, she made many scientific expeditions to the Arctic, sponsored by American museums, the Explorers Club and the National Geographic Society; she also helped survey the Arctic for the United States Government during World War II. She then went on to a final career as a packet ship, before undergoing a complete restoration in 1982.

She is currently designated by the United States Department of the Interior as a National Historic Landmark as part of the New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park. She is the State Ship of Massachusetts.

Grand Banks of Newfoundland
The Grand Banks of Newfoundland are a series of underwater plateaus south-east of the island of Newfoundland on the North American continental shelf. The Grand Banks are one of the world's richest fishing grounds, supporting swordfish, haddock and capelin, as well as shellfish, seabirds and sea mammals. Overfishing in the late 20th century caused the collapse of several species, particularly Atlantic cod, leading to the  closure of the Canadian Grand Banks fishery from 1992 to 2024.
John Lambe (M5 rapist)
John Lambe (born 1944 in Fordingbridge, Hampshire), known as the M5 rapist, is a British serial rapist who worked as a builder and lorry driver.

From 1975 until his arrest in 1980, he was responsible for a string of sex attacks on women aged between 15 and 74 in the Bristol and Taunton areas which adjoin the M5 motorway in South West England. He was arrested after the husband of one of his victims recognised him and his vehicle leaving the scene of the crime in Taunton.

In 1981, he was found guilty of twelve counts of rape and six charges of attempted rape, and jailed for life. The prosecution at his trial alleged that the motivation for his crimes stemmed from a vitriolic hatred of the police, against whom he had waged a personal vendetta since a conviction for aggravated burglary in 1975. He remains in prison to this day.

At a total length of 163 miles (262 km), the M5 is the fourth-longest motorway in the UK.
