Tradition and Prudence in Locke's Exceptions to Toleration

Why did Locke exclude Catholics and atheists from toleration? Not, I contend, because he was trapped by his context, but because his prudential approach and practica ljudgments led him to traditiona ltexts. I make this argumentfirst by outlining the connections among prudential exceptionality, practical judgments, and traditional texts. I then describe important continuities betweenc onventional English understandings of the relationship between state and religion and Locke's writings on toleration, discuss Locke's conception of rights, and illustrate his use of prudential exceptions and distinctions. I conclude by arguing that Locke's problems are relevant to assessingc ontemporary liberal discussions of tolerationa nd the separation of state and religion that lean heavily on practical justification

Marketing (as) Rhetoric: paradigms, provocations, and perspectives

In this collection of short, invited essays on the topic of marketing (as) rhetoric we deal with a variety of issues that demonstrate the centrality of rhetoric and rhetorical considerations to the pursuit of marketing scholarship, research and practice. Stephen Brown examines the enduring rhetorical power of the 4Ps; Chris Hackley argues for the critical power of rhetorical orientations in marketing scholarship but cautions us on the need to work harder in conceptually connecting rhetorical theory and modern marketing frameworks; Shelby Hunt explains how rhetorical processes are incorporated in his inductive realist model of theory generation, using one of his most successful publications as an illustration; Charles Marsh demonstrates what Isocrates’ broad rhetorical project has to teach us about the importance of reputation cultivation in modern marketing; Nicholas O’Shaughnessy uses an analysis of Trump’s discourse to argue that political marketing as it is currently conceived is ill-equipped to engage effectively with the rhetorical force of Trump’s ‘unmarketing’; Barbara Phillips uses Vygotsky’s work on imagination to investigate the important of pleasure and play in advertising rhetoric; and finally, David Tonks, who in many ways started it all, reiterates the need for marketers to recognise the strength of the relationship between marketing and persuasion

Abrupt change in runoff on the north slope of the Catskill Mountains, NY, USA: Above average discharge in the last two decades

Study region: Schoharie Creek, Catskills Mountains, New York, USA. Study focus: Total annual flow in Schoharie Creek, Catskills Mountains, was above the long-term average for most of the last two decades. We hypothesize that the end of the 20th century and early 21st century mark a change in the streamflow in the Schoharie watershed. To test this, we evaluated annual flow, center-volume (CV) and winter–spring center-volume (WSCV) dates, and average daily flow within four comparison periods purposefully selected to represent: average conditions, below average, above average and recent conditions Recurrence intervals of the 2-yr, 5-yr, and 10-yr daily maximum flow calculated for the comparison periods suggested that these event magnitudes were larger during the last decade. New hydrological insights for the region: The increase in high-frequency event magnitude was most pronounced at the 5-yr daily maximum flow in the lower Schoharie. During the last decade the 5-yr event magnitude exceeded the record-long 10-yr daily maximum flow magnitude. Changes to peak daily flow implies more flow in the lower Schoharie more frequently. Seasonal differences drive above average winter runoff, shortened peak runoff in spring and in several cases below average summer and late summer flow. This flow pattern is not just a matter of more water all the time, but more water during the high-flow period and less water during the low-flow period, intensifying annual extremes.

Tectonic Evolution of the Chugach-Prince William Terrane: Geochemistry of the Orca Group Volcanic Rocks in Eastern Prince William Sound, Alaska

Geologic evidence indicates that slab window subduction modified the forearc basin in the Chugach-Prince William terrane (CPW), producing marine basalts interbedded and structurally interleaved with the Paleocene flysch of the CPW. A similar model is proposed for the nearly coeval Crescent Formation in the Pacific Northwest. In this study we examine the geochemical composition of mafic volcanic rocks from the Orca Group in eastern Prince William Sound (PWS) to evaluate their relationship to the Knight Island ophiolite, Chenega Island volcanic rocks, and Crescent basalts in the Pacific Northwest. Maximum depositional ages from detrital zircon ages of the Orca Group indicate that the interbedded volcanic rocks formed at 50-57 Ma. The 14 basalt samples we analyzed fall into three groups based on REE abundances normalized against chondrites: light REE depleted, slightly light REE depleted, and no depletion. Trace elements normalized to MORB show N-MORB like abundances for high field strength elements with more variability in the abundances of large ion lithophiles suggesting alteration due to sediment mixing, fractional crystallization, or hydrothermal alteration. Five of the samples in eastern PWS resemble basalts on Chenega Island, and the other nine are similar to basalts from the Knight Island ophiolite in western PWS. In addition, the slightly light REE depleted N-MORB samples are similar to basalts from the Lower Crescent Formation on the Olympic peninsula in Washington State. The relationship between Orca Group volcanics in Alaska and similar sequences in the Pacific Northwest is important for evaluating the translation versus in situ hypotheses for the location of the Kula-Farallon ridge and associated rocks. One hypothesis is that the CPW formed in a similar setting to the Crescent Formation near ~48°N, and was subsequently separated and translated north to Alaska

Abstract The Lesnaya Group is part of a thick, poorly dated turbidite assemblage that sits in the footwall of a regionally extensive collision zone in which the Cretaceous-Paleocene Olutorsky island arc terrane was obducted onto continental margin basin strata. Nannoplankton from 18 samples from the upper part of the Lesnaya Group yield Paleocene through Middle Eocene assemblages. Detrital zircons from nine sandstone samples have a young population of fission-track ages that range from 43.7 ± 3.4 to 55.5 ± 3.5 Ma (uppermost Paleocene to Middle Eocene). The deformed footwall rocks of the Lesnaya Group and the overlying thrusts of the Olutorsky arc terrane, are unconformably overlain by neoautochthonous deposits which are Lutetian (lower Middle Eocene) and younger. Together, these new data indicate that thrusting, which is inferred to have been driven by collision of the Cretaceous-Paleocene island arc with north-eastern Asia, took place in the mid-Lutetian, at about 45 Ma
