The Maryland Child Victims Act is a law in 1 of the states of the United States of America, the state of Maryland. The Maryland Child Victims Act was made by the Maryland General Assembly. The MGA made the MCVA during the 445th time they met, which was in 2023. Then the Maryland Child Victims Act became a law because Governor Wes Moore signed it. The Maryland Child Victims Act does away with the law that says you can't do some things in court after some time. Those some things are saying that bad sex things were done to a child and asking for money because of it. The Maryland Child Victims Act also raises the highest money each person can ask for in some of these cases. Some of these cases means only those in which one person does this against a group which is not the government. For those cases the highest money is now $1.5 million because of the Maryland Child Victims Act. The first time someone tried to make the Maryland Child Victims Act was when James Brochin tried in 2007. Then almost the same thing was tried in the 425th, 435th, 436th, 437th, 439th, 441st, 442nd, and 445th times the MGA met. Before. Trying to raise the time limit for a thing began in 2015. That thing is saying someone did bad sex things and asking a court to make them give you money for it. Some of that trying worked in 2017. That means a law was made in 2017 which raised
The Gold Apollo AR924 is an alphanumeric one-way pager in a taco form factor sold under the brandname of the Taiwanese company Gold Apollo. The main function of the AR924 is to allow fast, direct and efficient communication through text alerts. The ability to receive signals at a distance is used strategically by users who need to communicate where the signal from telephone devices does not reach. Some 5,000 AR924 pagers were bought by a terror organization Hezbollah on dark market during the 2023 war with Israel. In September 2024, the pagers exploded almost simultaneously in Lebanon killing 12 and injuring about 3000 Hezbollah senior terrorists, rendering them useless for future operation.  According to a statement published by Gold Apollo on their web page on 18 September 2024, they are not the manufacturer of the device and had instead licensed the brand to the Hungarian company BAC Consulting. Features. The PC-programmable and hand-programmable pager is equipped with 4 buttons with two-way scrolling, a 4 lines LCD screen, and a removable lithium battery, rechargeable via a USB-C connector, and lasting up to 85 days with 2.5 hours of charging.

Self-disclosure is the process of revealing personal information to other individuals, a part of one's “true self”. There are multiple ways in which it might happen, it could be by revealing secrets, feelings, thoughts and more. It helps create a sense of trust between people and can lead to deeper bonds. It is something that happens gradually over time as people get more comfortable with one another.  Self-disclosure is a natural part of the human connection and is a key part in fostering intimacy in relationships. There are 3 basic levels of self-disclosure, starting from “small talk” where people share surface-level conversations, typically between two newly acquainted people. The next level would be intimate conversations, where people would begin to share a lot more deeper parts of themselves. The third, most intimate level includes people divulging the most secretive parts of themselves to the other person.  Effects and Benefits. Self-disclosing effectively has shown to have positive effects on mental health. It has shown to greatly reduce stress and increasing emotional support. It can also be the most effective way to resolve conflicts that might arise in a relationship. It can lead to reciprocity, that is to say, one person revealing to others can lead to the other person revealing information back to the other.  Influences. There are many aspects that can affect the level of self-disclosure between two individuals. The most basic of which being how long the people have known each other. Other factors might include the type of relationship between the individuals, such as the difference between a parent and a child versus a husband and wife. Another important fact that influences self-disclosure is societal norms, not all cultures are open to high levels of self-disclosure, and it can create some friction when people do try to do such a thing. The individual in question themselves can have a huge effect on self-disclosure. Some people are not so quick to open up, and some are much quicker than others.

The Lau Basin is a back-arc basin located at the Australian Plate-Pacific Plate boundary in the Pacific Ocean. It was formed by the subduction of the Pacific Plate beneath the Australian Plate. The basin is bordered by the Tonga-Kermadec Ridge to the east, a frontal arc, and the Lau-Colville Ridge to the west, a remnant arc. Geography. The Lau Basin joins with the Havre Trough to the south and has a triangular shape. It reaches a maximum width of 500 km (310 mi) in the northern region. History. The Lau Basin is relatively young, with much of its formation occurring within the last 5 million years. It originated due to extensional rifting and seafloor spreading that separated a previously continuous island arc. Around 25 million years ago, the Pacific Plate started drifting away from the Australian Plate, causing the volcanic Tonga-Kermadec Ridge to split and forming the basin.
The Havre Trough (also known as the Havre Basin) is an actively rifting back-arc basin situated between the Australian Plate and the Kermadec Plate. It lies approximately 100 km (62 mi) to 120 km (75 mi) wide and extends northward from New Zealand's Taupō Volcanic Zone, continuing into the Lau Basin to the north. Geology. The Havre Trough is a rifting domain characterized by basins up to 3.7 km (2.3 mi) deep in the south, with volcanic edifices rising to within 2.5 km (1.6 mi) of the ocean surface. The rifting is oblique to the bounding ridges and features horsts, grabens, and extrusive magmatism. Its western boundary is marked by the remnant Lau-Colville Ridge, and its eastern boundary by the active volcanic Kermadec Ridge. The basin shows evidence of active extension, especially in its eastern basins, which have high heat flow and shallow seismicity. Further south, the Ngatoro Rift and Rumble Rift are key tectonic features associated with ongoing rifting. Tectonic Activity. The extension rate in the Havre Trough varies between 15 mm (0.59 in)/year and 25 mm (0.98 in)/year, increasing northward toward the more rapidly spreading Lau Basin. The area also experiences volcanic activity, especially along the Kermadec Ridge.
The South Kermadec Ridge Seamounts are a chain of underwater volcanic formations located along the Kermadec Ridge, in the Pacific Ocean. This region marks the convergent boundary where the Pacific Plate subducts beneath the Indo-Australian Plate, forming the Kermadec Trench, one of the deepest oceanic trenches in the world. The seamounts are part of a larger volcanic island arc system that became active during the Quaternary period. The Kermadec Ridge extends southwest from the Kermadec Islands towards New Zealand's North Island, and northeast towards Tonga. Geology. The South Kermadec Ridge Seamounts are part of a relatively young oceanic arc-back-arc system in the Kermadec Arc - Havre Trough, and include several significant seamounts with varying depths: The Brothers Seamount features two large calderas, formed during a major volcanic eruption in 1360 ± 75 CE. Rumble III Seamount is the largest of the Rumbles seamount chain and has experienced multiple eruptions, the most recent being on 2 July 2008. Notable Seamounts. Other significant seamounts in the area include: Eruptions. The Rumble III Seamount has erupted multiple times, with notable eruptions occurring on:
The Lau-Colville Ridge is an extinct oceanic ridge located in the Pacific Ocean, on the oceanic Australian Plate in the southwest Pacific Ocean. It extends about 2,700 km (1,700 mi) from the southeast of Fiji to the continental shelf margin of New Zealand's North Island. Geography. The Lau-Colville Ridge is divided into two segments: To the west of the ridge lies the South Fiji Basin, whose bedrock is of Oligocene origin. Geology. The ridge is composed primarily of mafic picro-basalts to dacite with underlying diverse rocks that are over 100 million years old. Volcanic activity along the Lau Ridge occurred mainly between 14 and 6 million years ago, while the Colville Ridge experienced volcanism between 7.5 and 2.6 million years ago. Tectonics. The Lau-Colville Ridge was once a subduction boundary between the Australian Plate and the Pacific Plate. The ridge is now the inactive part of a 100 million-year-old arc/back-arc system. The adjacent Lau Basin contains active spreading centers that continue to evolve today.

Andesite (/ˈændəzaɪt/) is a volcanic igneous rock with an intermediate composition. It is fine-grained (aphanitic) to porphyritic in texture, primarily composed of plagioclase feldspar (often andesine), along with pyroxene or hornblende. It is considered to be the extrusive counterpart of diorite, the plutonic equivalent. Andesite is common in island arcs and subduction zones, making it one of the dominant rock types in such environments. Tectonic environment. Andesite is typically associated with subduction zones, where oceanic plates subduct beneath continental plates, leading to the formation of island arcs and volcanic arcs. The magma originates from the interaction between the subducting slab, which partially melts, and the overlying mantle wedge. The resulting volcanic eruptions tend to be explosive due to the viscous nature of andesitic magma, which has a high silica content and lower temperatures compared to basaltic magma. Andesitic volcanism. Andesite lava is typically viscous, with a viscosity comparable to that of peanut butter, making andesitic eruptions more explosive than basaltic eruptions. This characteristic results in the formation of composite volcanoes (also called stratovolcanoes) rather than shield volcanoes, which are more common with basaltic lava. Blocky lava flows and pyroclastic materials like tuff and agglomerates are typical products of andesitic volcanism. Formation. Andesite is mainly formed in convergent plate margins, particularly in island arc systems. Here, water-rich oceanic crust melts as it subducts beneath continental crust, generating intermediate magmas that eventually solidify to form andesite. The "andesite line" in the western Pacific marks the boundary between andesitic and basaltic volcanic rocks, corresponding to the subduction zone of the Pacific Plate. Occurrence. Andesite is common in the Earth's crust, especially in subduction-related environments. It is the dominant volcanic rock in island arcs and is also found in other tectonic settings like continental volcanic arcs. Besides Earth, andesite

"Not to be confused with Beluga whale." The beluga sturgeon ("Huso huso"), or great sturgeon, is a large species of sturgeon in the genus "Huso". It is the biggest freshwater fish ever discovered. This giant lives in the Caspian and Black Seas. Description. The beluga sturgeon's body is covered in lots of scutes and has a big tail. There are two pairs of barbels. This sturgeon has a long, pointy snout. The largest beluga sturgeon weighed 1,571 kg and was 7.2 m long. Behavior. Spawning. The beluga is anadromous and they spawn on a substrate that protects their gloopy eggs. When males are 12-16 years old, they start to get sexual maturity, and babies are 11-14 mm long. What they eat. Great sturgeons eat other species of freshwater fish, like the common carp, sterlets, and others. In the Adriatic Sea, they ate mollusks and some cyprinids. Its status. This sturgeon is critically endangered because it is coveted for its precious caviar. It's also been affected by overfishing, and scientists are afraid that it could be extinct any time soon. Uses for humans. The caviar. Beluga caviar is the caviar of the beluga sturgeon. It is banned from the United States because it is currently critically endangered. Its meat. The sturgeon's meat is very rare across the world.
Lucy Fletcher with marriage name Brown (born 1903) was an American track and field athlete during the 1920s, the early era of women's athletics. She was specialized in the standing long jump and also competed in sprint events and javelin throw. In 1922 she was regarded of the best American standing long jumper and was selected to represent the United States at the 1922 Women's World Games. Biography. Fletcher was born in 1903 in Greensboro, Florida as the daughter of George Warren and Eliza Anne Edwards. She attended Greensboro High School where she became an outstanding track and field athlete and basketball player. In athletics she competed in 50 yards and 100 yards running events and in the javelin throw. In 1922 she competed at the state track meet at the Florida State College for Women (nowadays called Florida State University). At the competition she won the standing long jump by a large margin with a distance of over 8 feet. According to Dr. Harry Eaton Stewart, member of the American Physical Education Association and founded the National Women's Track Athletic Association, the jump was "the best performance we had in recent years". Due to this result, Fletcher was selected to represent the United States at the 1922 Women's World Games in Paris, France. However, Fletcher didn't join the American team. According to family history, the mother of Fletcher had asked her not to go France and Fletcher didn't go against that wish. At the 1922 Women's World Games the winning distance was 2.485 meters (8.15 feet) ahead of 2.405 meters (7.89 feet). In 1922 Fletcher married to Hugh Murry Brown. They had five children together.
The High Speed Rail Authority (HSRA) is a department of the Australian government. It is responsible for giving advice on and planning a high-speed rail line along the east coast of Australia. It is also responsible for being the manager of builders and owners of that line. It was part of a promise of the Labor political party and its party leader Anthony Albanese. The promise was to build a high-speed rail line from Sydney to Newcastle, with the possibility of extending the line to Melbourne and Brisbane. It started to operate on 13 June 2023, and its chief executive officer was named on 11 January 2024. A previous department, the National Faster Rail Agency, finished on 13 June 2023. A case for the Sydney to Newcastle section is being developed, with AU$500 million promised for the development of that case. The companies responsible for the development of the case were named in June 2024. Geotechnical investigations started and companies were advised on progress in August 2024. Development of the case is expected to finish in December 2024. Start and previous departments. Anthony Albanese gave a speech on 2 January 2022 in Newcastle. At that speech, a promise was made to build a high-speed rail line between Sydney and Newcastle. AU$500 million was promised for purchasing land, planning and early works. Another promise was to start a department to build that line, and possibly extending the line to Melbourne and Brisbane. A similar promise was made by the Labor Party in 2019 and 2021. In September 2022, a bill to start the department was introduced to federal parliament. The bill was passed on 24 November 2022. The bill became law on 12 December 2022. The department started on 13 June 2023 and its chief executive officer (CEO) Tim Parker was named on 11 January 2024. National Faster Rail Agency. In the 2019-20 financial year, the National Faster Rail Agency (NFRA) was started. It was a department that investigated making some rail lines faster. Five rail lines in total were investigated: On 13 June 2023, the National Faster Rail Agency ended
