2018 MS NHBB Nationals Bee Round 8
2018 NHBB Middle School National Bee 2017-2018 Round 8 Round 8 Regulation Tossups (1) This policy was criticized by Robert Taft, who described it as sharing \chewing gum" since \you don't want it back." Edward Stettinius administrated this policy that was hidden in the military's budget. This policy expanded the previous cash-and-carry program and ended American neutrality. For the point, name this World War II policy of loaning weapons to the Allies. ANSWER: Lend-Lease program (2) This man concluded one campaign by having his troops wash their weapons in the ocean to signal victory. Like Moses, this man was said to have been discovered as a baby in a basket. This man spent his early career serving Ur-Zababa as a cupbearer in the kingdom of Kish, but rose to power usurping Lugalzaggisi of Uruk. For the point, name this founder of the Akkadian Empire. ANSWER: Sargon the Great (or Sargon of Akkad) (3) This case established that Congress' implied powers could enforce the Constitution's express powers. In this case, the \necessary and proper clause" was supported by John Marshall who concluded \That the power to tax involves the power to destroy." For the point, name this 1819 case that ruled that states could not levy taxes on the Second Bank of the United States. ANSWER: James McCulloch v. Maryland (4) This text is known in printed form as a chumash, as opposed to a sefer in scroll form. This text originally consisted of 613 mitzvot. The feast day of Shavuot commemorates God's revelation of this text, which Rashi claims was recorded by Moses.

Goldsmiths College University of London Locating Contemporary
Goldsmiths College University of London Locating Contemporary South Korean Cinema: Between the Universal and the Particular Seung Woo Ha A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy to the department of Media and Communications January 2013 1 DECLARATION I, Seung Woo Ha confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Signed……………………….. Date…..…10-Jan-2013……… 2 ABSTRACT The thesis analyses contemporary South Korean films from the late 1980s up to the present day. It asks whether Korean films have produced a new cinema, by critically examining the criteria by which Korean films are said to be new. Have Korean films really changed aesthetically? What are the limitations, and even pitfalls in contemporary Korean film aesthetics? If there appears to be a true radicalism in Korean films, under which conditions does it emerge? Which films convey its core features? To answer these questions, the study attempts to posit a universalising theory rather than making particular claims about Korean films. Where many other scholars have focused on the historical context of the film texts’ production and their reception, this thesis privileges the film texts themselves, by suggesting that whether those films are new or not will depend on a film text’s individual mode of address. To explore this problem further, this study draws on the concept of ‘concrete universality’ from a Lacanian/Žižekian standpoint. For my purpose, it refers to examining how a kind of disruptive element in a film text’s formal structure obtrudes into the diegetic reality, thus revealing a cinematic ‘distortion’ in the smooth running of reality.

Leisure Port Development in the Incheon Area: Concepts and Benchmarks
JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL LOGISTICS AND TRADE 5 Volume 2, Number I, 2004, pp. 5-45 Leisure Port Development in the Incheon Area: Concepts and Benchmarks Marc L. Miller' and Sung-Gwi Kim" ABSTRACT In concert with an ambitious national agenda that emphasizes free trade and globalization, lncheon Metropolitan City is taking the first steps toward reinventing itself to become a twenty-first century "Pentaport" with integrated Seaport, Airport, Technoport, Business Port, and Leisure Port components. The lncheon Pentaport transformation-projected to be complete by 2020-will entail significant industrial, sociological, and institutional modification. Leisure Port objectives can be achieved through responsible planning attuned to the ideal of sustainable development and by empirical studies of lncheon tourism and leisure dynamics. International benchmarks of leisure port success are found in Sydney, Australia; Vancouver, Canada; and San Diego, USA, among seven other cosmopolitan cities. Growth estimations for coastal ferry passengers; beach use; recreational vessels and yachts in the lncheon region are encouraging. lncheon Leisure Port development of ten amenity destinations will require equal and multidisciplinary attention to questions of tourism design and tourism impacts. Important issues will concern environmental quality, clean shipping practices, the proper balance of modem and traditional amenities and attractions, trade-offs of cultural homogeneity and cultural diversity, and creative destination branding and marketing, among others. Keywords: lncheon, Leisure, Leisure Port, Pentaport, Tourism, Sustainable Development. "A world-economy always has an urban center of gravity, a city, as the logistic heart of its activity." -- Fernand Braudel (1984: 27) Butterflies come to pretty flowers. -- Korean proverb • Professor, School of Marine Affairs, University of Washington, Seattle, Washington, USA.

Understanding How States View Strong and Weak Reputations
TO DEFEND, OR NOT TO DEFEND: UNDERSTANDING HOW STATES VIEW STRONG AND WEAK REPUTATIONS A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Government By DongJoon Park, M.A. Washington DC July 14, 2020 Copyright 2020 by DongJoon Park All Rights Reserved ii TO DEFEND, OR NOT TO DEFEND: UNDERSTANDING HOW STATES VIEW STRONG AND WEAK REPUTATIONS DongJoon Park, M.A. Dissertation Adviser: David M. Edelstein, Ph.D. ABSTRACT Why do states back down during crises despite the risk of harming their reputation for resolve? The existing literature contends that leaders believe, perhaps more than they should, that cultivating a strong reputation for resolve is vital for their states’ national security as it enhances both their credibility and ability to deter threats. Based on this logic, the existing literature stipulates that states back down when actors care less about their reputation for resolve because these strategic advantages are absent or perceived to be irrelevant. In contrast, this dissertation contends that states and leaders may still decide to acquiesce during crises because of the long- term costs of saving face and the benefits of cultivating a ‘weaker’ reputation for resolve. Specifically, I propose the theory of moderate reputation for resolve and argue that two factors, fears of reputation races and greater emphasis on the process of negotiations rather than its outcomes, cause states to prefer moderate rather than strong reputation for resolve. States and leaders that reach this conclusion will be more likely to back down during crises as a way of managing their reputation.
