“…The age of A-type magmatism in North America ranges from about 1.8 to 1.0 Ga, although Anderson (1983) suggests that more than 70 percent (by volume) of A-type magmatism in this region occurred between 1.49 and 1.41 Ga. In the conterminous United States, ages of A-type granitoid rocks are restricted to the period between about 1.49 and 1.33 Ga (Anderson, 1983;Bauer and Pollock, 1993;Bickford and Mose, 1975;Bickford, Harrower, and others, 1981;Bickford and others, 1989;Hoppe and others, 1983;Van Schmus and Bickford, 1981; Van Schmus and others, 1975). Using these recognition criteria, we identified A-type granitoid intrusions of the conterminous United States; for those intrusions, we compiled available geochemical, modal, isotopic (Sr and Nd) and geochronologic data for inclusion in the databases described herein.…”

IntroductionThe purpose of this report is to present available geochemical, modal, and geochronologic data for approximately 1.4 billion year (Ga) A-type granitoid intrusions of the United States and to make those data available to ongoing petrogenetic investigations of these rocks. A-type granites, as originally defined by Loiselle and Wones (1979), are iron-enriched granitoids (synonymous with the ferroan granitoids of Frost and Frost, 2011) that occur in an anorogenic, within-continent setting. Relative to other granitic rocks, A-type granites have high FeO*/(FeO*+MgO), high K 2 O and K 2 O/Na 2 O, are metaluminous to weakly peraluminous, and are enriched in incompatible trace elements. Loiselle and Wones (1979) further suggested that A-type granites are relatively anhydrous. Anderson (1983) provides an early compilation of data for the products of 1.4 Ga magmatism in North America and notes the spatial and temporal association of a trio of rock types, which includes gabbro to anorthosite, intermediate composition mangerite, and granitic rapakivi rocks. In North America, the majority of known A-type intrusions were emplaced between 1.5 and 1.3 Ga and are predominantly of the granitic variety (Anderson, 1983).This report addresses the broadly Mesoproterozoic-age granitic rocks of the conterminous United States. Constituents of this group of intrusive rocks were defined using a variety of spatial, compositional, and geochronologic metrics. Thomas and others (2012) provided an updated synthesis, largely based on new isotopic and geochronologic data (for example, Fisher and others, 2010), for the large-scale geologic and tectonic evolution of the eastern United States. Their findings suggest that the basement rocks of the central and southern Appalachian region are allochthonous relative to the remainder of Laurentia and were accreted along the Grenville front between 1.25 and 1.0 Ga. Accordingly, Mesoproterozoic rocks east of the Grenville front and south of the approximate latitude of New York City do not represent North American ma...

“…To do so, prosecutors employ intensive use of the "hermeneutics of suspicion" (Josselson, 2004), which aims to decode lifers' "disguised selves" with the use of classified information that evokes, in and of itself, a sense of secrecy. In addition, prosecutors question, reduce, and minimize lifers' positive aspects (e.g., high intelligence, lack of previous criminal history) and re-construct these very same aspects as risk factors, accepting the facts but rejecting their possibly positive meaning (see Cohen, 2013). Also, prosecutors attempt to slow the parole process pace, signaling that lifers' rehabilitation is a never-ending and largely illusory task.…”

Parole as a boxing match: Lifers, prosecution, and the adversarial making of parole hearings

Despite being depicted as powerful actors, the work of the State's representatives in parole hearings has to date remained largely invisible. In this study, we aimed to fill this gap through a qualitative analysis of the oral arguments of prosecutors in 130 lifers’ parole board hearings in Israel. The findings suggest that prosecutors construct lifers’ parole hearings as an adversarial, yet asymmetrical, “boxing match.” Three themes were unveiled: Prosecutors construct the lifers as worthy of re-censure; view the lifers as solely responsible for their parole release; and construct the lifers as inherently suspicious individuals. In conclusion, prosecutors’ parole work seems to be more a defense of their shared professional identity as crime fighters than a promotion of an individualized, inclusive, and future-oriented parole decision-making process.

Film and Reconciliation: A Case Study from the Republic of South Africa

Systematic violence and reconciliation between and within groups are complex and continuous processes. Unfortunately, a number of movie and series adaptations regarding these issues create a distorted image of the problems societies face in their attempts to reconcile ('black and white' image of the perpetrators and victims, the almost magical catharsis of audience after listening to a lonely hero 's monologue, etc.). With these problems in mind, this paper provides a concise overview of the social and psychological factors influencing reconciliation after violence and conflict, focusing on Apartheid in the Republic of South Africa (RSA). At the same time, the movie Country of My Skull will be used as an accurate illustration of scientific contributions of psychologists in creating a better future. In other words, this paper is a combination of theoretical understandings and scenes which capture various psychological factors that either facilitate or hinder mutual understanding, forgiveness and reconciliation.
