Panchayati Raj (council of five officials) is the system of local self-government of villages in rural India as opposed to urban and suburban municipalities.
It consists of the Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs) through which the self-government of villages is realized. They are tasked with "economic development, strengthening social justice and implementation of Central and State Government Schemes including those 29 subjects listed in the Eleventh Schedule."
Part IX of the Indian Constitution is the section of the Constitution relating to the Panchayats. It stipulates that in states or Union Territories with more than two million inhabitants there are three levels of PRIs:
In states or Union Territories with less than two million inhabitants there are only two levels of PRIs. The Gram Sabha consists of all registered voters living in the area of a Gram Panchayat and is the organization through which village inhabitants participate directly in local government. Elections for the members of the Panchayats at all levels take place every five years. The Panchayats must include members of Scheduled Castes (SCs) and Scheduled Tribes (STs) in the same proportion as in the general population. One third of all seats and chairperson posts must be reserved for women, in some states half of all seats and chairperson posts.
Jawaharlal Nehru inaugurated Panchayati at Nagaur on October 2, 1959. The day was selected on the occasion of Mahatma Gandhi's birthday. Gandhi wanted Gram Swaraj through Panchayati Raj. The system was modified in 1992 with the 73rd constitutional amendment.
In India, the Panchayati Raj now functions as a system of governance in which gram panchayats are the basic units of local administration. Currently, the Panchayati Raj system exists in all states except Nagaland, Meghalaya, and Mizoram, and in all Union Territories except Delhi.
Panchayati raj has its origins in India since Vedic period (1700 BCE). Since Vedic times, the village (gram) in the country is considered as the basic unit for regional self-administration.
Mahatma Gandhi advocated Panchayati Raj as the foundation of India's political system, as a decentralized form of government in which each village would be responsible for its own affairs. The term for such a vision was Gram Swaraj ("village self-governance"). Instead, India developed a highly centralized form of government. However, this has been moderated by the delegation of several administrative functions to the local level, empowering elected gram panchayats. There are significant differences between the traditional Panchayati Raj system, that was envisioned by Gandhi, and the system formalized in India in 1992.
Jawaharlal Nehru inaugurated Panchayati at Nagaur on October 2, 1959. The day was selected on the occasion of Mahatma Gandhi's birthday. Gandhi wanted Gram Swaraj through Panchayati Raj. Rajasthan was the first state to implement it. Nehru inaugurated Panchayat Raj in Andhra Pradesh on October 11, 1959 on the occasion of Dussehra. The system was gradually established all over India. The system was modified in 1992 with the 73rd constitutional amendment.
The Balwant Rai Mehta Committee, headed by the Member of Parliament Balwantrai Mehta, was a committee appointed by the Government of India in January 1957 to examine the work of the Community Development Programme (1952) and the National Extension Service (1953), to suggest measures to improve their work. The committee's recommendation was implemented by NDC in January 1958, and this set the stage for the launching of Panchayati Raj Institutions throughout the country. The committee recommended the establishment of the scheme of ‘democratic decentralization’, which finally came to be known as Panchayati Raj. This led to the establishment of a three-tier Panchayati Raj system: Gram Panchayat at the village level, Panchayat Samiti at the block level, and Zila Parishad at the district level.
On 24 April 1993, the Constitutional (73rd amendment) Act of 1992 came into force in India to provide constitutional status to the Panchayati Raj institutions. This amendment was extended to Panchayats in the tribal areas of eight states, namely: Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Himachal Pradesh, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, and Rajasthan beginning on 24 December 1996. This amendment contains provisions for the devolution of powers and responsibilities to the panchayats, both for the preparation of economic development plans and social justice, as well as for implementation in relation to 29 subjects listed in the eleventh schedule of the constitution, and the ability to levy and collect appropriate taxes, duties, tolls and fees. The Act aims to provide a three-tier system of Panchayati Raj for all states having a population of over two million, to hold Panchayat elections regularly every five years, to provide seats reserved for scheduled castes, scheduled tribes and women, to appoint a State Finance Commission to make recommendations regarding the financial powers of the Panchayats, and to constitute a District Planning Committee.
The Sarpanch is its elected head. The members of the gram panchayat are elected directly by the voting-age village population for a period of five years.
Main article: Panchayat Samiti (Block)
Just as the tehsil goes by other names in various parts of India, notably mandal and taluka, there are a number of variations in nomenclature for the block panchayat. For example, it is known as Mandal Praja Parishad in Andhra Pradesh, Taluka Panchayat in Gujarat and Karnataka, and Panchayat Samiti in Maharashtra. In general, the block panchayat has the same form as the gram panchayat but at a higher level.
Membership in the block panchayat is mostly ex-official; it is composed of: all of the Sarpanchas (gram panchayat chairmen) in the Panchayat Samiti area, the MPs and MLAs of the area, the Sub-District Officer (SDO) of the sub-division, co-opt members (representatives of the SCs , STs and women), associate members (a farmer from the area, a representative of the cooperative societies and one from marketing services), and some elected members. However, in Kerala, block panchayat members are directly elected, just like gram panchayat and district panchayat members.
The Panchayat Samiti is elected for a term of five years and is headed by a chairman and a deputy chairman.
The Panchayats, throughout the years, have relied on federal and state grants to sustain themselves economically. The absence of mandatory elections for the Panchayat council and infrequent meetings of the Sarpanch have decreased the spread of information to villagers, leading to more state regulation. Many Panchayats have been successful in achieving their goals, through cooperation between different bodies and the political mobilization of previously underrepresented groups in India. There is an obstacle of literacy that many Panchayats face for engagement of villagers, with most development schemes being on paper. However, homes linked to the Panchayati Raj System have seen an increase in participation for local matters. The reservation policy for women on the Panchayat councils have also led to a substantial increase in female participation and have shaped the focus of development to include more domestic household issues.
In 1992, the 73rd amendment was passed, transforming the role of women in Panchayati raj. The 73rd amendment established reservation of one-third of seats for women in basic village councils. This reservation had led to a significant increase in women's participation in local governance. Women are now serving as elected representatives in various positions, including as Sarpanch (village head) and Panchayat members. Women also demonstrated their positive and enlightened thinking in the panchayat to respond to the government's expectations of women. The supportive actions from their families are encouraging women to attend every PRI (Panchayati Raj in India) meeting. Even though the bureaucracy was all male dominated, Gandhi hoped that Panchayati raj could be the framework for a free Indian political order. As a promoter of liberalism, he proposed gram swaraj, or self-contained and autonomous villages, to give women the most rights. The 73rd amendment was also resisted because reservation of seats meant that high caste people had to accept marginal caste women into the political empowerment system. Indirectly, this leads to corruption when the government devotes funds to the grassroots panchayat where resources and funds are exploited by bureaucratic channels.

Oxygen is the first need of life movement, accounting for 61% of life. Among other main components, hydrogen accounts for 12%, carbon accounts for 20%, and nitrogen accounts for 3%.
Using Air purifier tips:
Start the air purifier to clean the air according to the environmental pollution. For example, an air purifier that purifies PM2.5 pollution is preferably used in the case of serious air pollution or indoor environmental pollution, which can ensure a good purification effect. If the atmospheric air quality is good, there is no need to turn on the air purifier for a long time. Summer and winter can be combined with a humidifier for best results.
It is necessary to clean and maintain the purifier in time, and install an electrostatic adsorption purifier for cleaning the signal light. When the signal light is on, it indicates that the dust collection is full, and the dust collecting plate should be cleaned.
3, the purifier of high-efficiency filtering function can often check the filter replacement indicator. If there is no indicator light, you can open the machine to check the pollution of the filter element. If the filter element turns black, you should replace the filter element immediately.

This article was published in The Newcastle Herald ‘Weekender’ print edition and online on November 4, 2019. Images by Mick Ross.
Sitting above Curve Gallery on Hunter Street in Newcastle’s East End is the Curve Art Apartment, a beautiful one-bedroom property stylishly furnished with mid-century pieces and contemporary artworks.
The Curve Art Apartment is the work of Lisa Who, an artist, curator and creative director of Curve Gallery, a contemporary art space she opened in Newcastle in 2012.
The first incarnation of the gallery was established in Liverpool, in the UK, in 2007, where Lisa lived with her husband, Wayne Heaton, before they returned to Newcastle.
After painting and meticulously styling the apartment, Lisa listed it on Airbnb in March of this year.
She hoped it would be a place that helped introduce and connect guests with Newcastle’s art scene. It also serves a space for international Curve artists-in-residence to stay.
She considers the Art Apartment to be an extension of Curve Gallery.
“It’s a space for clients to see artwork in a different setting,” she explains.
“Often on Thursday and Fridays, when the gallery is open, if people are not staying in the apartment, then people are invited to walk between both spaces.”
Works by artists that have exhibited at Curve feature throughout the home in a way that seamlessly complements the carefully curated space and furnishings.
In the light-filled front room of the spacious apartment, which has large front-facing windows that overlook Hunter Street, sits an eclectic mix of works.
Among them, an aqua 2.5-metre-tall pencil, titled ‘Upright’, by Joanna and Warwick O’Toole, a yellow powder-coated steel sculpture, called ‘Four Piece Prop’ by Braddon Snape, and a subtle framed piece by artist Lezlie Tilley, which was made with 10,696 tiny pieces of stone.
Lisa regularly moves around and swapping the artworks.
“I am always changing little pieces,” she notes.
She said she’ll re-style the apartment with different artworks in the lead up to Curve’s summer exhibition, which will open in mid-December and feature eight emerging artists across ceramics, sculpture and design.
“Having the Art Apartment just allows for a bit more experimentation,” says Lisa.
She notes it gives her the ability to curate contemporary art in a more relaxed and domestic setting.
“It has also given me an outlet for my furniture collecting,” Lisa jokes of her affection for mid-century furniture and design pieces.
Guests can purchase select items from a catalogue Lisa has compiled of art and furnishings in the apartment.
As an avid traveller herself, Lisa says she wanted the apartment to be what she and her husband Wayne sought in accommodation – comfortable, aesthetically pleasing and equipped with all the little things guests might need to enjoy their stay.
This is reflected in many small details: the high-quality linen she chose for the bed, the thoughtful selection of books left for guests to enjoy, the leafy sanctuary that is the private courtyard, the well-stocked kitchen, and the beautiful design pieces, like lamps and ceramics, found in every room.
Lisa estimates the building to date back to around 1900 and appreciates that it has been “very sensitively renovated”.
The building’s colourful frontage, which spans the gallery frontage up to the first-floor apartment, distinguishes it from the neighbouring stores. The work is by Sydney artist Miguel Gonzales, also know as M-lon.
Lisa loves the sense of community in the East End and is proud to operate a business and reside in the area.
Lisa says that the Curve Art Apartment’s location within the ‘East End Arts Precinct’ – with contemporary arts space The Lock Up and fibre art gallery and store Timeless Textiles nearby – is a big drawcard for guests. As is its close proximity to the city, beach and harbour.
“It’s just a win. You can’t beat the location.”
Lisa believes many guests that stay at Curve Art Apartment are seeking a cultural experience and want to explore what Newcastle’s arts scene has to offer.
“More and more guests are coming from Sydney and Melbourne.”
Many guests are often visiting or taking part in local creative events, such as the recent This Is Not Art (TINA) and National Young Writers’ Festival (NYWF).
“We try to make their stay in Newcastle as special as we can,” Lisa says.
“I think that’s why the feedback’s been so great.”

See How Hugo McCloud Makes a Painting
Take a peek into the artist's studio.
Before Brooklyn-based painter Hugo McCloud was an artist, he worked in industrial design, fabricating custom projects for architects and interior designers. That background deeply informs his current work, featuring unorthodox materials such as tar paper and aluminum foil, currently on view in his second solo exhibition at New York’s Sean Kelly Gallery.
“All of my work is kind of process oriented,” McCloud told artnet News in a phone conversation, walking us through the creation of his abstract works, which he primarily makes with “construction-based materials” such as roofing paper and liquid tar.
This sets McCloud apart from other contemporary painters. “When I had a desire to go into the fine art realm,” he explained, “I didn’t really have an understanding of how to work on canvas or use brushes and traditional art making tools. That wasn’t really my foundation.”
Instead, he stuck with what materials he was already comfortable using—breaking the boundaries of conventional art in the process. In doing so, he’s following in the footsteps of some pretty impressive artists, such as Jackson Pollock’s embrace of house paint or, more recently, Katharina Grosse’s utilization of a industrial spray gun to create.her large-scale works.
“There’s not really a formula for [using construction materials] when you’re doing fine art, so I think it forces you to think outside the box a little bit,” said McCloud. “The manipulation, what you can possibly do with something, how to adapt all the different tools you use in the construction world in those materials, that’s what makes it interesting.”
Step-by-step, McCloud described the unorthodox process by which he creates the works in his “Veiled” series. Rather than the expected canvas, he begins with a sheet of roofing paper. “I layer that with liquid tar and an adhesive,” he said. “Over that is an aluminum sheeting.”
From there, he applies layers of oil paint, building up layers of color and sometimes sanding and taking away. “I just paint on the materials until I feel happy with the actual painting. Sometimes it’s minimal, sometimes it’s a lot,” said McCloud.
At that point, he has a choice: leave the work as is, or add a layer of block printing, from prints he’s either carved by hand or drawn and sent to a friend who does laser cutting. The designs are often inspired by discarded furniture fabric patterns or things he’s seen in his travels.
In preparation for this final step, “I go through a heating process that warms the material up, that makes it more malleable,” said McCloud, who applies an additional layer of aluminum foil and stamps the designs using silver, gold, or white paint, obscuring much of his initial work.
“I used to use a roofing torch,” the artist told us, but he’s since designed a special table with a built in infrared heater. “It’s not as dramatic, of course, from a visual aspect, but it doesn’t tarnish the color of the paint. It keeps the colors much more vibrant.”
“Not only does it emboss as I hammer it into the painting, it embosses so you get a relief on the painting,” McCloud added. The pressure of the wooden blocks also punctures the foil coating in some places, leaving traces of the oil painting beneath.
In preparation for his current exhibition, McCloud worked simultaneously on roughly 20 different paintings, giving each one time to dry between each stage. He estimates that each one takes a couple of weeks from start to finish.
“When I’m working on a show, it’s pretty regimented,” he noted. “I’m usually in here at the same time every day.” That being said, his work is affected on a daily basis, based on what is going on in his personal life.
“You come to the studio with different experiences and things that you’re going through, and problems… all those mixed emotions go into your work day to day,” McCloud reflected. “That’s the great thing about abstract art: you can kind of put those different layers into the work. That’s usually what creates the piece.”

What drug is best for hypertension?
- Q: What drug is best for hypertension?
- A: Hypertension is a medical condition which is defined as having elevated blood pressure readings. High blood pressure potentially means that your heart is working excessively to pump blood in your body. The result of this extra work can mean a weaker heart and/or heart damage overtime. There are many treatment options for hypertension. These include diet, exercise, reduction of stress and prescription medications. There are various classes of medications that treat hypertension. The following is a list of the various drug classes: diuretics, beta-blockers, alpha-blockers, ACE (angiotensin converting enzyme) inhibitors, ARBs (angiotensin II receptor blockers), and calcium channel blockers. In all the above drug classes there are various medications in the class. The various drug classes work differently in the body. It is impossible to say what the "best" drug is to treat hypertension. Patients react differently to different medications. What may be the best medication for one patient may not be the best medication for another patient. Medication selection is dependent upon many different factors. These factors are patient specific and include: the indication that the medication is being prescribed, other medications a patient is taking, other medical conditions the patient has, any drug allergies the patient has, etc. Due to these various factors, specific medication selection is best left up to your doctor.

When it comes to interior design and color scheming, few choices can make or break a room’s aesthetic as effectively as your color selection. One color that’s been making waves in the home décor space is Sherwin-Williams’ Elephant Ear (SW 9168).
This hue, rich in depth and complexity, presents a myriad of design opportunities, earning its place in the hearts of many designers and homeowners. This article will take a deep dive into SW 9168 Elephant Ear, exploring its character, undertones, and complementary colors to guide your color decisions.
What Color is SW 9168 Elephant Ear?
SW 9168 Elephant Ear is a beautiful, rich, earthy color that perfectly encapsulates the sophisticated elegance of an elephant’s ear – hence the name. It is a deep brown-gray hue that exudes a sense of calm and warmth. Like the proud and majestic animal from which it takes its name, Elephant Ear lends an air of dignity, maturity, and grounding energy to any space in which it’s used.
Often described as a taupe, Elephant Ear is more than just a simple blend of brown and gray. It evokes the feeling of natural elements, such as rich soil and stone, providing a tranquil ambiance.
It has the unique ability to transform and adapt to various design styles, from modern minimalist aesthetics to traditional, classic looks, enhancing the vibe of your room while retaining its inherent charm.
Is It a Warm or Cool Color?
While SW 9168 Elephant Ear is primarily a warm color, its brown-gray composition brings a delightful balance between warm and cool tones. This unique blend makes it a versatile choice, capable of blending seamlessly with a variety of color schemes.
Its warmth exudes a comforting presence, while the cool gray tones provide a relaxing backdrop, making it a popular choice for areas where relaxation and calmness are desired.
Undertones of SW 9168 Elephant Ear
The appearance of color can vary greatly depending on its undertones, which are the colors lurking beneath the surface. These subtle hues greatly influence how we perceive a color, impacting how it looks in various settings, lighting conditions, and in combination with other colors.
- Brown Undertone: Elephant Ear’s primary undertone is brown, which gives it its warm, inviting, and earthy character.
- Gray Undertone: The gray undertone cools down the warmth of the brown, lending a neutral balance to this color, making it versatile across diverse color schemes.
- Subtle Green Undertone: Under certain lighting conditions, a very faint green undertone may be observed, adding an organic feel to this color.
Undertones affect the way we see color by providing depth and complexity. They can make a color appear differently in various lighting conditions and when paired with different colors. Understanding a color’s undertones is crucial in creating a harmonious color palette.

How Does Lighting Affect SW 9168 Elephant Ear?
Lighting plays a crucial role in how a color is perceived and can dramatically affect the appearance of SW 9168 Elephant Ear. In ample natural light, the warm brown undertone is pronounced, lending the space an inviting, cozy feel. Conversely, in artificial lighting, the gray undertone can become more prominent, giving the color a cooler, more neutral appearance.
Direct, intense lighting can wash out SW Elephant Ear, reducing its depth and richness.
Therefore, it’s best used in spaces where the lighting can be controlled or is naturally soft and diffused. Paying attention to the light conditions of your space can help you achieve the desired look with Elephant Ear.
LRV of SW 9168 Elephant Ear
Light Reflectance Value, or LRV, is a measure of how much light a color reflects, rated on a scale of 0 (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100 (pure white, reflecting all light). The LRV of Elephant Ear is 28, indicating that it’s on the darker side of the scale. This means SW 9168 Elephant Ear absorbs more light than it reflects.
A color with an LRV of 28, like Elephant Ear, can help create a cozy, intimate feel in a room, especially in larger spaces that can feel too open and cold. It can add depth to a room, creating a sophisticated, elegant atmosphere.
However, due to its darker nature, it’s important to ensure there’s sufficient lighting in rooms painted with Elephant Ear to prevent them from appearing too dark or small.

LATE SUMMER FISHING UPDATE
Kentucky Lake’s late summer fishing scene has shown some improvement lately for crappie and catfishermen. There’s already a touch of fall in the air and that seasonal change is fast approaching.
Lake levels continue to fall slowly and the TVA’s drawdown curve is pretty much on schedule. Elevation this week hovered around the 356-feet range at Kentucky Dam and only a few inches higher upstream in the New Johnsonville area.
Surface temperatures cooled slightly and this week were in the 83- to 84-degree range. Water color is still clear across the reservoir.
There has been slow current present in the main Tennessee River channel, which has worked in favor of catfishermen stalking the edges of the main river channel. Depths of 25-35 feet have given up some decent stringers lately for anglers using nightcrawlers as their bait of choice.
The cooler nights the last week or so have helped curtail the heat and humidity to some degree and made the early morning outings quite nice for anglers. Those warm days haven’t totally disappeared but conditions are more enjoyable on the lake when compared to a month ago.
Crappie fishing has shown some improvement lately with a few more anglers chalking up decent stringers at times. Several stringers have been taken from relatively shallow to midrange depths this week.
Stalking depths of 5-10 feet in some areas have produced a few crappie as have midrange depths of 10-14 feet at times. A few boats have attempted to locate some deep water fish while vertical fishing minnows and jigs around brushpiles but the deep bite has been inconsistent.
Live minnows have been the bait of choice as the crappie have shown a preference for minnows over jigs but some fish have been taken by anglers tipping 1/16-ounce jigs with minnows. Tipping the jigs has also paid dividends.
Some boats have been slow trolling or pushing spider rigs in the back of big bays. Other techniques producing have been vertical fishing minnows down in stakebeds and brushpiles where fish are holding tight at times around the submerged structures.
Finding crappie up in shallow to midrange depths may seem odd during hot weather but the fish follow their forage base, namely threadfin shad, and that seems to be where the baitfish are at times. Cloudy or rainy days will especially help out the shallow pattern as the fish are more aggressive with cloud cover as the bite subsides at midday when the bright sun changes things.
With cooler days now entering the picture, plus lower lake levels, the fall transition will slowly begin to take place as fish move up. Another week or so of cooler days will see significant improvement in the shallow bite.
Bass fishing has been a bit sluggish lately as anglers haven’t been able to boat big numbers. Finding schooling fish has not been in the cards this summer.
In the past, those abundant grassbeds were full of baitfish and the late summer pattern in the backs of bays was dependable but that’s not the case nowadays. Although bass haven’t moved up to shallow gravel banks thus far, that pattern should emerge in the days and weeks ahead. Early morning and late afternoon gravel banks should start holding bass that move in to feed in the lowlight conditions when small insects such as midges hatch.
The midge hatch attracts the shad and close on their trail are bass who know the early morning and late afternoon buffets occur for short windows of opportunity. Tossing Rattle Trap style lures and assorted topwater is usually productive.
Still producing a few scattered bass is the typical summer pattern of main lake ledges. Anglers working the main lake ledges are playing the current when it’s present and tossing swim baits, crankbaits, Carolina rigged worms and craws, jig and craw combos and some occasional suspending jerk baits.
Shallow style bass anglers are finding a few fish lingering around stickups and exposed crappie beds. Casting spinnerbaits and shallow running crankbaits has worked well around shallow structure, plus boat houses and roadbeds.
Once surface temperatures fall back into the upper 70s, which should occur soon, Kentucky Lake’s fishing scene should see overall improvement. Fall officially arrives on Sept. 23 if you’re keeping score on the calendar, but fall patterns usually start well before the season arrives.
FISHING COMMENT DEADLINE NEARS
Anglers are reminded of the approaching deadline to submit comments on fishing regulations.
The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency Fisheries Division presented its proposed 2020-21 fishing regulation proposals during the Tennessee Fish and Wildlife Commission’s August meeting held in Greeneville.
The public is invited to provide comments on the proposals. The deadline for sport fishing comments is Thursday. To provide comments, email the TWRA at email@example.com, or write to TWRA Fisheries Division, 5107 Edmondson, Nashville 37211. The commission will vote on the bait, commercial and sportfish regulations at its Sept. 19-20 meeting at the TWRA Region II Building in Nashville. If approved, the sport fishing changes would become effective March 1, 2020.
EARLY DUCK SEASON NEARS
Waterfowlers will soon see the arrival of the early wood duck and teal season combo. It opens on Sept. 14 for five consecutive days. After the first five days, hunters get another four days of teal only opportunity.
Hunters are reminded to obtain the Federal Duck Stamp, which is required for all hunters age 16 and over. It’s available at your local post office and a few select license agents carry them as well. However, don’t wait until the last minute and hope to find a stamp early some morning on the way to your hunting spot.
Federal Duck Stamps are $25 and must be signed by the hunter.
REFUGE DISCOVERY SERIES
The refuge will host a “Monarchs, Bees and Pollinator Event” from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sept. 14 at the refuge visitor center as it celebrates our all-important pollinators. The day will feature speakers and activities that focus on the Monarch butterfly and other butterflies, bees, insect pollinators and on enhancing their habitats.

Reuters News Report
Taiwan ex-president seeks US support for 'freedom'
|Thursday, October 20, 2005
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Former Taiwan President Lee Teng-hui on Wednesday decried political opponents in Taipei who he said would have the island state absorbed by "authoritarian" China, and he urged greater support among Americans for Taiwan's continued self-reliance, democracy and freedom.
On a trip to Washington that has drawn official protests from Beijing, Lee argued that self-governing, democratic Taiwan should be accepted into the international community and treated like a "normal country."
"The people of Taiwan will persist in their pursuit for freedom, democracy and independence," Lee promised, in remarks that seemed tailored to remain within diplomatic constraints.
The 82-year-old former president stepped down in 2000 after 12 years but retains much influence in Taiwan, where he is venerated by some as the father of Taiwan's democracy and remains a leading advocate of independence from China.
Protesters outside a hotel where he headlined a dinner for Taiwanese-Americans mocked those accolades. "Mr. Democracy, What A Joke," read one demonstrator's sign.
China views Taiwan as part of its territory and says the island must be reunited with the mainland, by force if necessary. It refuses to deal with the independence-leaning government of President Chen Shui-bian.
U.S. policy officially recognizes the Beijing government but permits unofficial ties with Taiwan and mandates U.S. support for the island's defense.
Lee was earlier feted at a reception on Capitol Hill attended by 25 members of the U.S. Congress, and met separately with Republican Rep. Henry Hyde of Illinois, chairman of the House of Representatives' International Relations Committee, organizers said.
During the Capitol Hill reception, he said, "We hope that our American friends will understand and accordingly support the Taiwan people's desire to be free and to choose our own future."
When Lee visited the United States in 1995 to attend a reunion at his old university, Cornell, he so outraged China that it fired missiles into the Taiwan Strait in menacing war games.
In the speech, the fiercely pro-independence Lee exhorted Taiwanese-Americans to "firmly object against Chinese absorption of Taiwan."
He complained of "authoritarian China" and "internal forces within Taiwan that try to have Taiwan succumb back under the influence of the Chinese empire, by conspiring with the Chinese," in development of Chinese markets and other goals.
Those people "create a false hope for cross-strait relations but also sing Taiwan's swan song and block the revolution and development of Taiwan," he said, according to an English text provided by dinner organizers.
Beijing has sought to isolate Chen by meeting opposition parties. The Nationalists, or Kuomintang, who once ruled all China, oppose Taiwan's independence and advocate closer trade ties with the mainland.
In his speech, Lee said Taiwan was in "the most important time in its history (and hence) needs our care and firmer support."
He told The Washington Post in an interview published on Wednesday that a growing military imbalance with China made it increasingly necessary for Taiwan to acquire "some kind of long-range missiles."
Richard Bush, who oversaw U.S.-Taiwan ties during the Clinton administration, said the U.S. commitment was to provide defensive, not offensive arms, and there was no sign the Bush administration was considering a change.
"Taiwan's best deterrent is the United States and so the best thing for Taiwan is to have as good a relationship with the United States as it can," said Bush, now with the Brookings Institution.

GODZILLA (1998) Review
This was actually written a long, long time ago, but I dug it up again when I was going through my old reviews (most of which were actually never finished because I’m a lazy bum). I think I might have intended to write more for this one, too, but honestly I’m not even sure anymore. Nor do I really care. Rather than delete it, I thought I’d post it here since, well, it is considered a pretty terrible film – not among “the” worst, but pretty bad. But it’s a good look at a guy trying to engage in serious film criticism. Pictures and captions were added afterward.
This movie fucking sucks. I tried to suspend my disbelief. Believe me. Hell, it’s about a giant lizard that wreaks havoc in New York City. You gotta suspend some of that disbelief. But this film is so illogical, so dense in stupidity and deep in nonsensicality that after the first ten minutes or so (of a two hour and fifteen minute long film) I was questioning the movie through and through and getting nothing but stupid answers.
I just could not get involved in this movie even at a superficial level. It’s not even entertaining in a so-bad-it’s-good way. Everything about it is so terrible and it’s not just the writing. The acting is an abundance of stereotypes, some portrayed as so inept I have to wonder if this film actually destroyed some careers. I wouldn’t be surprised. But knowing Hollywood, this probably isn’t this case.
My biggest problem is the internal logic of the movie… There is none. The idea of suspending your disbelief usually fails because the film’s internal logic is broken or made irrelevant. Godzilla is no exception. Numerous times, Godzilla inexplicably disappears. Yeah, that’s right, every person blinked at the same time and at the right moment and the huge lizard just disappeared. Apparently Godzilla didn’t go back into the water. Godzilla’s hiding in Manhattan, which, according to Broderick’s character, is an island he can easily hide out on. Yeah, that makes sense. Oh, then the general played by Kevin Dunn suggests the huge lizard is hiding out in a building…
These are the people you will have to depend on when disaster strikes… How the fuck does this thing hide in a building? Would it use the front door? I know this is your typical dumb Hollywood summer fuckfest but this is a stretch. Oh right, it’s going around through tunnels. Which apparently look too small to fit a huge 25-story dinosaur? How big is this thing, anyway? That’s right, nobody knows, not even the filmmakers because apparently the size of this thing is so inconsistent from scene-to-scene.
In fact, nothing about Godzilla is consistent or, at least, established. I understand he’s a giant “mutated aberration” dinosaur-like creature that was exposed to radiation. The point, I suppose, is not to understand how Godzilla functions. Except that much of the movie, and Matthew Broderick’s sole purpose of being brought onto the assignment in the first place, is to spend time figuring out what Godzilla is doing, how he’s doing these things, and why. The only things that are explained are basically for the purposes of shoving the crappy story along, mostly by way of convenience.
For example: Godzilla can reproduce. How, is the question? Oh, it reproduces asexually. Convenient, much? Not to mention this notion is not explored in the slightest. Or how about Godzilla’s senses? We clearly see him use his sense of smell and I’m sure it uses its sense of sight. Or does it? If you establish none of these characteristics, it gives the writers free reign to let Godzilla do whatever they want it to do. Want it to outrun a military chopper? It can. Want it to dodge missiles and torpedoes? Check. An even bigger problem arises when lack of ‘ground rules’ causes inconsistency, simply because there are no rules for your ‘universe’ to follow.
I hate to do the movie comparisons, but let’s take films like Alien or even The Thing. Both of these films featured alien lifeforms that were completely fictional. And yet both films are extremely believable when it comes to both the lifeform at play and the story itself. This is because the creatures do not do anything extremely outlandish or anything that would fuck with the core of the film’s internal logic. In fact, much of The Thing actually revolves around trying to figure out the mechanisms of the lifeform and is a reason why the ending to that film is so bleak. Godzilla fails to establish any sort of consistency, which means the writers can get away with a lot, but after a while these inconsistencies will begin weighing on audiences.
Here’s some more terrible writing for you. Apparently Godzilla can detect and evade gunfire, missiles, torpedoes, etc. And even when it gets hit it pretty much brushes it off. This is basically to the point where the military is totally fucking inept at their job. Godzilla seems to be as fast as the Flash and as invincible as the Hulk. Hell, the first time the submarines are trying to blow the big guy out of the water is a god damn failure, since he outswims two torpedoes and redirects them at a submarine, blowing it up. So the writers, not knowing how to bring this thing down, have Godzilla swim into a wall for no apparent reason, other than it was the only way they could think of to blow this thing up. I guess underwater walls are kryptonite to Godzilla.
Learn to craft a better screenplay, assholes.
The only slightly clever bit of this movie is the ineptitude of the military. Basically, the military created the creature, the creature returns to wreak havoc, the military tries to bring it down and ironically ends up causing more damage than the beast. And, again, I don’t think that’s because it was written as intended. It was not intended to be satirical that way. It only seems that way because the writing is so terrible. The only reason the military is so terrible at what they do in this film is because (a) Godzilla is apparently just God, and (b) we needed more scenes of wanton destruction because this is a disaster film.
Even worse than the writing is how badly the film is executed. Speaking of wanton destruction, this film seems to be nothing more than a series of scenes where something gets destroyed. Nothing inherently wrong with that. The problem is that it’s just so fucking boring. Nothing’s at stake here for me to give a damn about. And it’s not even that violent. It’s the really toned down giant lizard carnage that you can only find in Hollywood. I can’t even find it entertaining because it just seems to be the same scenes of destruction replayed over and over and over with scenes of “character development” between them.
I can’t believe I’m saying this but ironically it’s the scenes of “character development” that I strangely find more entertaining. That’s gotta be pretty bad. Of course, those in-between scenes aren’t entertaining for the reasons intended. They’re entertaining because of their unintended consequences. It’s pure unintentional comedy, really. Bad acting, slimy characters (wormy Broderick being one example) who have no idea what the hell they’re doing or what is going on, etc.
The scenes of destruction just seem redundant. Same old, same old. For instance, doing the whole fish-bait scene twice and Godzilla inexplicably resurrecting itself. I understand the writing is flimsy because it’s supposed to provide minimal framework to move the scenes of destruction along. When the disaster scenes are boring and, worse, they’re less entertaining than the scenes that are supposed to push them along, what the hell does your film amount to?
I didn’t think it was possible, but I’ve become even more longwinded and pointless now than I was back then, which was not that long ago.

When Br. Lorenzo started the spring semester in Rome this January to continue his studies in liturgy and church architecture, he had no idea that a few weeks later he would be quarantined because of a worldwide pandemic.
In this podcast episode – our last of the season – host Br. Kolbe Wolniakowski talks with Br. Lorenzo about his experiences during the COVID-19 shutdown in Italy.
This “Echoes from the Bell Tower” podcast offers a look at what Br. Lorenzo (now Fr. Lorenzo – he returned to Saint Meinrad this summer in time to be ordained a priest in August) did and saw during the lockdown.
One significant difference in Rome, according to Fr. Lorenzo, was that soldiers and police were evident in Rome, ensuring that citizens were following the precautions. There were only three reasons you could be out: going to work, buying supplies or going to the hospital.
The photos on this page are of Fr. Lorenzo and the view outside his room’s window.
As always, you can listen to this episode at the top of this page, or go to iTunes, Spotify, Stitcher or wherever you get your podcasts and download “Echoes from the Bell Tower.” Thanks for listening!
We’ll be back in 2021 with a new season of episodes. Is there a topic you’d like to know more about? Just send us an email at email@example.com.
