20 Lame One-Liners Overused In War Movies
There are some one-liners in war movies that just stand out.
Some of the best include, "Are you not entertained?" from "Gladiator," and, "I love the smell of Napalm in the morning," from "Apocalypse Now," or the tank crew's mantra, "Best job I ever had" in "Fury."
These lines are original and fit the character, the scene, and for the most part, they evoke some kind of reaction from the audience.
Then there are the others — the cheap stereotypes of military life.
Whether it's due to filmmakers lack of imagination or lack of understanding of military culture, there are some lines that need to be dropped from war movies.
Related: These are the 3 battle scenes Hollywood actually got right »
Here are 20 tired and overused one-liners from action and military-themed films.
"Get some."
In war movies, this is typically shouted by enthusiastic troops in the middle of a firefight or by those heading into battle. In real life, the people who would actually be shouting this in combat are too busy being badass professionals.
"Roger that."
Characters will say this, or something similar, to acknowledge that they received or understood an order. In real life, however, you usually just say something along the lines of "understood," "yes sir," or whatever rank or gender is appropriate, or a service-specific equivalent like "Oorah," "Kill," "Hooyah," or "Hooah."
"Lock and load."
There's no shortage of war movies where troops are ordered to "lock and load" right before an assault or during a battle. It makes sense, but it's unrealistic. Scenes with heavily armed and battle-hardened grunts chambering a round look really cool and serve as a visual cue for the audience that shit is about to go down. However, troops rarely say this, with good reason. You typically go condition one, meaning you put a round in the chamber as soon as you step outside the wire. So if you're about to be shot at, you're already "locked and loaded."
"Listen here, private."
A character, usually an officer, says this to a junior service member, usually to try to put him or her in their place.
"Hold!" or "Hold the line!"
Often heard during period pieces where troops are fighting in line formations, or in the case of the film "300," when a phalanx of highly trained Spartan warriors are told to hold their ground. Which is odd because you'd think they'd know to stand their ground without having to be reminded — that's how a phalanx functions after all. It's kind of like telling troops to aim during a firefight.
"Welcome to Hell."
This is how new troops are greeted by other characters when they first arrive in a warzone or join a seasoned and battle-tested unit.
In real life, this just sounds campy and melodramatic.
"That's an order."
Typically an officer in a movie, or a senior enlisted service member, will say this to emphasize that their word is law.
It's completely unnecessary and begs the question: How is that order different from all the other commands you issue the rest of the time?
Completely made-up sayings.
Lines like "the son-of-a-bitch is dug-in like an Alabama tick," may seem like salt of the earth colloquialisms on paper, but when you hear them in a war movie, they just sound stupid. Really fucking stupid.
This goes double for saying things like "I ain't got time to bleed."
"It's just a flesh wound."
Between movies like "Con Air," "Tears of the Sun," "Predator," and "300," Hollywood makes it seem like getting shot, stabbed, or having an eye ripped out is no big deal.
"That information is classified."
Characters usually say this to stress the importance or significance of some piece of information, right before they go on to explain what that key information is.
"Tell my wife I love her."
A mortally wounded character, or one about to embark on a suicide mission will say this, or give a note to a friend, just before they're killed. Another version of this is "Don't die on me," and is usually said before someone, well, dies.
Both lines are meant to strike an emotional chord, but they're so overused that they often come off sounding cheap.
This means to keep cool under pressure, or to stay sharp and aware. Telling a trained service member, or a Marine in the movie "Aliens," to "stay frosty," is a bit unnecessary. More often than not, this is used for the benefit of the audience, like a heads up that the situation is dangerous.
"I cannot give that order."
Usually a character says this after a superior gives a morally dubious order. What happens next is predictable. Said superior shoots, stabs, kills, or otherwise removes the subordinate who challenged his command. Then, the commander tells the rest of the troops to follow the order, and they go along with it, as if seeing their leader murder one of his men didn't shake their trust in the slightest.
Alternatively, some officer in a movie refuses to do something and just blindly repeats that he "cannot give that order."
Kind of like this scene from "The Rock" that's been set to repeat over and over again.
"Cover me, I'm going in."
Right before the protagonist goes sprinting into the open, he will announce to his comrades that they should provide covering fire.
Just once, I wish someone would respond, "You know what? No. Because you said that, I'm not going to cover you, you Rambo wanna-be."
"We've got company."
This is used when the bad guys are about to attack the good guys, and is often preceded by some sort of scary sound — scurrying feet, loading of weapons, etc. — that implies the enemy is near, typically making the statement unnecessary.
"It's a good day to die."
Just before making a final stand against overwhelming odds, the unit's grizzled senior enlisted guy, or an equivalent archetype, says something along these lines, but where's that one guy who raises his hand and asks, "Is it though?"
"It's quiet, too quiet," or "I have a bad feeling about this."
Great, now I know you're going to be ambushed. Thanks for ruining the suspense, asshole.
"It's gonna blow!"
This is shouted just before a ship, bomb, fire extinguisher, whatever, explodes, sometimes killing whoever stood there saying it would blow up instead of just running away or taking cover. War movies are not the only films that overuse this line, it's everywhere and it's awful.
"Reporting for duty, sir."
"Shut the fuck up, boot, and get out of my movie!" is what I want to shout at the screen whenever I hear this. It's usually the first thing some junior service member says after arriving on scene and reinforces the image of service members as naive and doe-eyed, wanna-be GI Joes.
"Stand down!"
Another line that implies military leaders have no control over their troops. Often said when a service member flies off the handle or challenges his superior's command, this line and others like it, play right back into the same tired stereotype: That members of the military need a firm hand to control them, otherwise they'll go beserk.

U.S. Special Operations Command may be on the verge of making the dream of flying infantry soldiers a reality, but the French may very well beat them to it.
On Sunday, French President Emmanuel Macron shared an unusual video showing a man on a flying platform — widely characterized as a "hoverboard" — maneuvering through the skies above the Bastille Day celebrations in Paris armed with what appears to be a dummy firearm.
The video was accompanied with a simple message of "Fier de notre armée, moderne et innovante," which translates to "proud of our army, modern and innovative," suggesting that the French Armed Forces may be eyeing the unusual vehicle for potential military applications.

If you've ever wondered if the Pentagon has ever exposed the American public to ticks infected with biological weapons, you're not alone.
Rep. Christopher Smith (R-N.J.) authored an amendment to the House version of the Fiscal 2020 National Defense Authorization Act would require the Defense Department Inspector General's Office to find out if the U.S. military experimented with using ticks and other insects as biological weapons between 1950 and 1975.
If such experiments took place, the amendment would require the inspector general's office to tell lawmakers if any of the ticks or other bugs "were released outside of any laboratory by accident or experiment design."

There's no one path to military service. For some, it's a lifelong goal, for others, it's a choice made in an instant.
For 27-year-old Marine Pvt. Atiqullah Assadi, who graduated from Marine Corps bootcamp on July 12, the decision to enlist was the culmination of a journey that began when he and his family were forced to flee their home in Afghanistan.

Nuclear Repression, not Nuclear Renaissance, in Jaitapur, India
Jaitapur's people are more concerned about being treated as sub-humans by the state, which has unleashed savage repression, including hundreds of arrests, illegal detentions and orders prohibiting peaceful assemblies. Eminent citizens keen to express solidarity with protesters were banned, including a former supreme court judge, the Communist party's secretary and a former Navy chief. Gadgil too was prevented. A former high court judge was detained illegally for five days. Worse, a Maharashtra minister recently threatened that "outsiders" who visit Jaitapur wouldn't be "allowed to come out" (alive).
This hasn't broken the people's resolve or resistance.
The truth behind India's nuclear renaissance Jaitapur's French-built nuclear plant is a disaster in waiting, jeopardising biodiversity and local livelihoods Praful Bidwai guardian.co.uk, 8 February 2011 The global "nuclear renaissance" touted a decade ago has not materialised. The US's nuclear industry remains starved of new reactor orders since 1973, and western Europe's first reactor after Chernobyl (1986) is in serious trouble in Finland – 42 months behind schedule, 90% over budget, and in bitter litigation. But India is forging ahead to create an artificial nuclear renaissance by quadrupling its nuclear capacity by 2020 and then tripling it by 2030 by pumping billions into reactor imports from France, Russia and America, and further subsidising the domestic Nuclear Power Corporation of India (NPCIL).
The first victim of this will be an extraordinarily precious ecosystem in the Konkan region of the mountain range that runs along India's west coast. This is one of the world's biodiversity "hotspots" and home to 6,000 species of flowering plants, mammals, birds and amphibians, including 325 threatened ones. It is the source of two major rivers. Botanists say it's India's richest area for endemic plants. With its magical combination of virgin rainforests, mountains and sea, it puts Goa in the shade.
NPCIL is planning to install six 1,650-MW reactors here, at Jaitapur in Maharashtra's Ratnagiri district, based on the European Pressurised Reactor (EPR) design of the French company Areva – the very same that's in trouble in Finland. The government has forcibly acquired 2,300 acres under a colonial law, ignoring protests. As construction begins, mountains will be flattened, trees uprooted, harbours razed, and a flourishing farming, horticultural and fisheries economy destroyed, jeopardising 40,000 people's survival.
To rationalise this ecocide, the government declared the area "barren". This is a horrendous lie, says India's best-known ecologist Madhav Gadgil, who heads the environment ministry's expert panel on its ecology. As I discovered during a visit to Jaitapur, there's hardly a patch of land that's not green with paddy, legumes, cashew, pineapple and coconut. So rich are its fisheries that they pay workers three times the statutory minimum wage, a rarity in India.
Jaitapur's villagers are literate. They know about Chernobyl, radiation, and the nuclear waste problem. They have seen films on injuries inflicted on villagers like them by Indian uranium mines and reactors – including cancers, congenital deformities and involuntary abortions. They don't want the Jaitapur plant. Of the 2,275 families whose land was forcibly acquired, 95% have refused to collect compensation, including one job per family. The offer provokes derision, as does Indo-French "co-operation". When Nicolas Sarkozy visited India to sell EPRs, Jaitapur saw the biggest demonstration against him.
The EPR safety design hasn't been approved by nuclear regulators anywhere. Finnish, British and French regulators have raised 3,000 safety issues including control, emergency-cooling and safe shutdown systems. A French government-appointed expert has recommended modifications to overcome the EPR's problems. Modifications will raise its cost beyond €5.7bn. Its unit generation costs will be three times higher than those for wind or coal. India had a nightmarish experience with Enron, which built a white elephant power plant near Jaitapur, nearly bankrupting Maharashtra's electricity board.
This hasn't broken the people's resolve or resistance. They have launched their own forms of Gandhian non-cooperation and civil disobedience. Elected councillors from 10 villages have resigned. People boycotted a 18 January public hearing in Mumbai convened to clear "misconceptions" about nuclear power. They refused to hoist the national flag, as is traditionally done, on Republic Day (26 January). They have decided not to sell food to officials. When teachers were ordered to teach pupils about the safety of nuclear reactors, parents withdrew children from school for a week.The peaceful campaign, with all its moral courage, hasn't moved the government. It accepted an extraordinarily sloppy environmental assessment report on Jaitapur, which doesn't consider biodiversity and nuclear safety, or even mention radioactive waste. It subverted the law on environment-related public hearings. It cleared the project six days before Sarkozy's visit.
Why the haste? India's nuclear establishment has persistently missed targets and delivered a fraction of the promised electricity – under 3% – with dubious safety. It was in dire straits till it conducted nuclear explosions in 1998, which raised its status within India's national-chauvinist elite – and its budget. The major powers have "normalised" India's nuclear weapons through special exceptions in global nuclear commerce rules. France used these to drive a bargain for cash-strapped Areva. Its counterpart is the disaster-in-waiting called Jaitapur.

Eating Edmonton: Homefire Grill
Jon Sharkey April 26, 2019
Nestled amongst the finest hotels and car dealerships 100th Avenue has to offer, is Homefire Grill — "West Edmonton's progressive Aboriginal restaurant." The Alberta Indian Investment Corporation established the bar and grill in 2005, and it has since been offering visitors an authentic Canadian prairie dining experience characterized by an inviting atmosphere and inventive menu crafted with local ingredients. The restaurant prides itself on its "fire to table comfort food," and boasts about serving "the best rotisserie and fire-roasted oven cooking in Edmonton."
My girlfriend and I drove to Homefire Grill for a late dinner one Saturday evening (they are open until 10 p.m. on weekdays, and 11 p.m. on weekends, so we were in no rush). Although largely inaccessible by public transit, we had no difficulty parking, as the restaurant shares a massive parking lot with neighbouring businesses. The outside of the building is a magnificent sight. "Homefire Grill" is sprawled out in large lights across the front and towering neon flames stemming from the archway encompass the entrance. .
Jon Sharkey
In the waiting area of the eatery hung Aboriginal paintings, which can be purchased from local artists. The entire room was painted a warm shade of burgundy with matching furniture; even the light bulbs cast a red glow down from the high ceiling. Sheet metal cut-outs of ducks, bears, and other animals adorned the restaurant, and similar designs were carved into both the hood of the central fireplace and the lamps hanging above each table. A private dining room, and a lounge complete with a bar and televisions, were affixed to the main dining area.
Upon our arrival, we were quickly seated in a both with a view of the open kitchen complete with a pizza oven and bustling chefs. Behind us, a guitar player was perched peacefully on a barstool treating patrons to a charming array of tunes.
Although the restaurant had no vegan options, and only a handful of vegetarian dishes, our waitress displayed her commitment to service by suggesting vegan dishes they could possibly throw together on the spot.
Our first dish of the evening was the bison spring rolls, and despite being especially oily, they were amazing. They were served with a Saskatoon berry dipping sauce, which created a delicious, sweet and savoury flavour. The diagonally cut wedges were stacked side-by-side, almost resembling barbed wire.
The drink menu was similarly impressive. It contained a large selection of wine and beer, and a long list of signature cocktails.
The most disappointing dish of the evening was one of the establishment's supposed signatures — the elk lasagna. Instead of having multiple layers, as lasagna should, the elk lasagna was a disorganized pile of mush topped with entirely too much cheese. The scarcely seasoned dish opted for canned tomato paste, an observation made by my Italian dining partner who is far more well-versed in the art of pasta than I. Overshadowing the Costco sample-sized dish were two oversized, under-seasoned, slices of bannock. I could barely finish one of the bone-dry, gargantuan slices before surrendering to my dehydration and cutting the meal short. We had made the right choice ordering the spring rolls for an appetizer, as opposed to a full basket of the drywall-textured bannock.
The presentation of the dish did however perpetuate the restaurant's reputation of offering visually stunning meals. The elegant, albeit tiny, serving had awarded me not one but two reasons to dust off my monocle; one, for an entrée of that size, it was positively ludicrous of them to price it at a staggering $27, and secondly, I can't imagine how much smaller a portion is served with the $18 version of the dish featured on the lunch menu. Astoundingly, the elk lasagna is one of their medium priced entrée.
My dining companion ordered the crispy chicken dumpling salad, which promised to be a gentle mixture of finely chopped vegetables and Asian delicacies, but was ultimately a veritable ball pit of chunks, each one larger than my lasagna. The staff must have been playing a game of 'How Inconveniently Can We Slice These Ingredients?' Cucumbers were cut diagonally into egg-sized slices and peppers were cut into fully intact rings. The worst offenders, however, were the titular dumplings. Even with the ginger lime vinaigrette, the enormous chunks of chicken were extremely dry and difficult to eat. Unimpressed minds must think alike, as she also gave up on her dish due to a deadly combination of size and dryness.
The restaurant seems to have invested a lot in presentation of both the food and the environment, and it shows; where it fails however is in its attempt to bring the quality (and quantity) of some of its dishes to that same standard. The meal came out to a whopping $79 for an appetizer, two entrees, and two glasses of wine. Had there been much more in my stomach, I'm sure I would've vomited at sight of the bill.
If you are solely interested in spicing up your Instagram, then this is the restaurant for you, otherwise, I suggest you follow in our footsteps and conclude your evening with a late night visit to Denny's.

Q: ERROR in [at-loader] src/app/userManagement/unlockUserID/unlockUserID.component.ts:7:5 Angular 2 Webpack I am getting the following error ever since I tried to set up my routing:
ERROR in [at-loader] src/app/userManagement/unlockUserID/unlockUserID.component.ts:7:5

I am using angular-cli and here is a snippit of my package.json:
devDependencies": {
    "@angular/compiler": "^2.4.1",
    "@angularclass/hmr": "~1.2.2",
    "@angularclass/hmr-loader": "~3.0.2",
    "@types/hammerjs": "^2.0.33",
    "@types/jasmine": "^2.2.34",
    "@types/node": "^7.0.4",
    "@types/selenium-webdriver": "2.53.39",
    "@types/source-map": "^0.5.0",

    "@types/webpack": "^2.2.4",
    "angular-router-loader": "^0.5.0",
    "angular2-template-loader": "^0.6.0",

THis is a single page application so that is why I am doing the routing like this.
src--
     --app
       --userManagement
          --unlockedUserId
            --unlockUserId.component.html
            --unlockUserId.css
       --userManagement.module.ts
       --userManagement.routing.ts

userManagement.module.ts
@NgModule({
    declarations: [
        unlockUserIdcomponent
    ],
    imports: [
        SmartadminModule,
        routing
    ],
    providers: [],
})
export class UserManagementModule {

}

userManagement.routing.ts
    import {RouterModule, Routes} from "@angular/router";

    import {unlockUserIdcomponent} from "./unlockUserID/unlockUserID.component";

    export const routes: Routes = [
        {
            path: 'unlockUserId',
            component:unlockUserIdcomponent
        },

    ];

    export const routing = RouterModule.forChild(routes);

Then the main routing file under src I have:
export const routes: Routes = [
    {
        path: '',
        component: MainLayoutComponent,
        data: {pageTitle: 'Home'},
        children: [
            {
                path: '', redirectTo: 'home', pathMatch: 'full',
            },

POTUS Notes
Obama: U.S. one of largest Muslim countries?
← return to POTUS Notes
By Jon Ward The Washington Times - June 2, 2009, 08:03PM
President Obama said in an interview Monday with a French TV reporter that "if you actually took the number of Muslims Americans, we'd be one of the largest Muslim countries in the world."
But that claim, which you can see in the transcript released by the White House on Tuesday, doesn't seem to pass muster.
The highest estimate of the number of Muslims in America is about 8 million, out of a population of more than 304 million. That's about two percent, which is nowhere near the top percentage for countries around the world.
Obama made the claim just after stating that "we have to educate ourselves more effectively on Islam."
"And one of the points I want to make is, is that if you actually took the number of Muslims Americans, we'd be one of the largest Muslim countries in the world. And so there's got to be a better dialogue and a better understanding between the two peoples," he said.
In a separate interview with the BBC, Obama rejected the label "authoritarian" for Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak.
"I tend not to use labels for folks," Obama said, calling Mubarak "a force for stability and good in the region."
On the issue of Middle East Peace, Obama's pressure on Israel to stop all settlement growth is drawing some criticism.
Aaron David Miller, an experienced hand on the issue who has worked for both Democratic and Republican administrations for decades, said in a CNN column Tuesday that Obama "has embarked on what could represent a radical departure in America's Mideast policy, at least on settlements."
And House Minority Whip Eric Cantor slammed the president for his policies.
"President Obama's insistence that it is in America's best interest to pressure Israel sends the wrong message to the region," Cantor said.
"Where is the outrage at the Palestinians' continued refusal to recognize Israel as a Jewish state? Where is the concern for their failure to root out the terrorists in their midst?"

WHERE TO BUY KOREAN SKINCARE | A SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT!
I've got some really exciting news that I'm sharing with you today, and I really hope you'll come on the ride with me!
For what seems like the longest time, I've been hmm-ing and errm-ing and generally debating about launching a shop here on Barely There Beauty selling Korean skincare, and.... well I've finally taken the plunge and done it!
Shop Barely There Beauty. Eek it's actually live!
Korean skincare is a) wonderful, b) inexpensive but c) a b*tch to get hold of if you're in the UK - orders take forever to arrive and expedited shipping can get really costly - I'm guilty of paying more for the shipping than I have for the products.. I use and love so many Korean brands that aren't readily available here and frankly, with shipping costs, delivery times, not to mention customs, the whole thing can just be frustrating.
As you probably know if you're a long time reader here, I love Korean skincare, it's been instilled in me for as long as I can remember. I suppose I'm bringing my shipping annoyances and Korean heritage together, so I've set up my shop! I've picked out a few of my favourite finds, some long-time faves, others new loves. It's just a small selection at the moment, it's definitely in it's baby-days, but I'm hoping to increase and increase as times goes on - that goes for lowering prices too!
For the time being, shipping is available within the United Kingdom only (you lucky things in the US have it a lot easier than us here!) and I'm taking out the damn long wait times by fulfilling orders right here in the UK, via Royal Mail. And shipping will all be free - one of my main aims was to make sure shipping was free and super speedy.
I'd love you to take a look around (there'll be a link up in the navbar shortly too) and couldn't be more grateful for the support and patience (especially through any initial teething problems - I've done everything myself, which on the one hand I'm so proud of, but there's every chance it won't be perfect!) that you guys give. I hope you guys love the shop, please let me know your thoughts and feedback.
N.B There are a few issues with viewing the homepage on a mobile device atm but I'm hoping to have these sorted as soon as possible! Thank you for your patience!
Shop Korean skincare here right now!
This sounds super exciting! I haven't ever tried Korean skincare but I'm actually on the hunt for something new as nothing seems to be working with my face. I'll definitely check it out.
AAAAHHHHH I'm so excited! I love Korean products and they are normally so tricky to get hold of! Well done you!
Very exciting news!! I love Korean beauty products but like you say it's not exactly the easiest thing to get hold of so I'm really pleased to see your new site. It looks fab!!
Good luck on your shop. I've heard a lot about Korean products but never had a chance to get hold of them.
Congrats girl! The shop is looking amazing! I actually have never tried Korean products, but they're so popular right now... that I feel I'm missing out big time! I really need to check them out, and find out how to get them, since I live in Mexico. I'm sure they sell them somewhere, I just have to look around!


But if you insist, we'll do it!
But we are aware of what we're great at.
Does the sound of accordion music and the thought of developing your own website leave you with the same knot in your stomach?
That's okay -- we do both.
Yep, we take accordion lessons for ourselves and do web design for you.
That's okay, we'll take care of the technical stuff.
And we're pretty sure you do too!
This website was on the verge of self-destructing but your visit has energized the school of tiny seahorses that have been working their tails off for the past 15 years to keep Speedy Green up and running.
We thank you greatly for stoppin' on by!
Sea horses, accordions, Muppets, and snow angels aside, we are a real company and we do great work for great people. Period.
Chris has been mowing lawns since 1985 and continues to mow straight lines with precision to this day!

Address by Shri M. Venkaiah Naidu, Honourable Vice President at The Institute of Mathematical Sciences, Chennai on 5 January, 2021.
Chennai | January 5, 2021
"I am indeed very pleased to come to the Institute of Mathematical Sciences, Chennai. It is very energizing to physically interact with the faculty and students of this hallowed institution. As we continue to fight against COVID and maintain safe distancing, we have also come to appreciate the value of real relationships and real interactions in our lives. I am hopeful that this event is a sign of better things to come, and I wish you all a happy, prosperous, safe and most importantly, a healthy new year.
Dear sisters and brothers,
The great German mathematician Gauss has been often quoted as saying that "Mathematics is the queen of sciences". Mathematics is perhaps the main driving force behind scientific discoveries. Indeed, the progress of human civilization over the ages can be marked by corresponding progress in mathematical thought and discovery.
India has a rich history of practicing mathematics since ancient times. We had stalwarts like Aryabhatta, Varahamihira and Brahmagupta who made discoveries and used algebraic techniques that were well ahead of the rest of the world. The earliest source on Indian mathematics was the Sulbasutras from the Vedic period. Sutras like Apastamba and Baudhayana contain the geometric detail for construction of sacrificial altars and for other rituals.
In the spirit of our philosophy of 'share and care', our knowledge was shared. Our numerals were borrowed by Arab traders, which later spread to medieval Europe and are now known as the 'Hindu-Arabic numeral system'. Acknowledging these contributions, Albert Einstein once said, "We owe a lot to the Indians, who taught us how to count, without which no worthwhile scientific discovery could have been made."
This rich legacy in mathematics continued in modern times too. The great Indian mathematician Ramanujan had captured the imagination of the people world over. With almost no formal training, he made important contributions to mathematical analysis and number theory. Without employment and living in the ordinary conditions, he continued his work undeterred. Finally, only when the English mathematician G.H.Hardy noted his work, Ramanujam travelled to Cambridge, England and became one of the youngest Fellows of the Royal Society. Hardy considered that Ramanujam's genius could only be compared to mathematical greats like Leonhard Euler. In a short but eventful life, Ramanujam produced nearly 4000 amazing original results; His notes had original theorems that took years for other mathematicians to prove! His genius of looking at the specialty in each number is unmatched and legendary.
His inspirational story must motivate us to discover many more Ramanujams in our children. Always remember: there is no dearth of talent… there is a dearth in finding and nurturing this talent.
No doubt, mathematics and science as subjects are enticing, exciting and invigorating to the human mind. But more than just being numbers and tool for finding new discoveries, they have, more importantly, been the lifeline of human progress. Mathematics and science drive technological innovations, which in turn advances the mode of production of goods and ultimately propels the economy. Thus, mathematics and science can bring innovations that will make the common man's life comfortable.
Brothers and sisters,
We all know that mathematics is introduced at a very young age in our school curriculum. It is deemed as part of a child's basic or elementary education. Unfortunately, many children get intimidated by the subject and simply develop fear and anxiety at the prospect of learning mathematics. This fear can be removed only by arousing the interest of the child in the subject. Therefore, the method of teaching plays a crucial role in making children passionate about maths. An important issue that needs to be addressed is rote memorization even in mathematics. Many a time, children simply memorize the answer from a textbook and reproduce it in the exam. This has to be stopped and the child must be trained to think creatively and analytically. Undoubtedly, better teacher training and revamped curriculum are crucial to revitalize primary education. But more importantly, educators must adopt creative methods to invigorate young minds. Puzzles, demonstrations and other hands-on activities could be utilized to make children become friends with numbers. A pedantic manner of teaching should be replaced with a more interactive and inclusive method.
The New Education Policy seeks to do away with rigid separation between arts and sciences, curricular and extra-curricular and vocational and academic streams. We must fully capitalize on this vision document and bring in pedagogical changes that will ignite the passion of the young learners in subjects like mathematics.
Foundational mathematics and science form the basis for STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) education. We must nurture and encourage children to take up careers in science. Any country that aspires to be at the forefront of human knowledge needs to invest in fundamental scientific research, including mathematics.
In order to strengthen STEM education, we must look beyond government funding. The private sector has an equal opportunity and responsibility to fund and partner with institutions and to collaborate on STEM projects. This is the global best-practice which has been bringing a lot of benefits for the investor too. Easy IP and patenting regime will also go a long way in encouraging STEM research and the government has been taking many initiatives in this regard.
Dear sisters and brothers, a major issue of concern in STEM-related employment is the under-representation of women. While about 40 per cent of STEM graduates in India are women, which is the highest in the world, women's share in STEM jobs in India is a mere 14 per cent. Even more worrisome is the poor women's participation in post-graduate and doctoral studies. Diversity in STEM is absolutely necessary and the need of the hour is to bridge the gender divide in employment. We must look at the cause for this dismal under-representation of women in science and technology jobs and take steps to rectify the situation expeditiously.
I am happy to note that with government's efforts, the number of girl students in IITs, which was just 8 per cent in 2016 has increased to nearly 20 percent now. The Department of Science & Technology's 'Women Scientists Program' is a laudable initiative that encourages women to take up careers in science and maths. We must celebrate our women scientists and mathematicians and showcase them as role models to our young girls so that we can discover many more talented and hidden Asima Chatterjees, Janaki Ammals and Shakuntala Devis.
Mathematics and statistics were once looked at as niche fields of research and were not popular career domains. Much has changed in the past few years. There has been a revolutionary change in the way business is done with the advent of data science and data-driven decision making. This was aided by advancement in computing facilities and the emergence of artificial intelligence. Now, mathematical modelling and statistical analysis have become an indispensable skill-set in many industries. This field is only expected to grow in the coming years as more and more businesses, governments and other organizations seek to leverage the power of data.
Our young demography and a growing economy imply that there is both an increasing demand for work and a skilled workforce. In this context, data science is an important area that needs to be fully tapped for ensuring job-creation. We must look beyond our traditional science and engineering curricula and we must equip young graduates with these new skill-sets. Else, they will become out-dated and the degree will remain only on paper. For this, institutes such as yours and others could offer micro-courses in statistics, computer science and related subjects. The proliferation of distance education courses offered by national institutes like IITs is a good augury. But most of these courses are still in English. We need to offer them in regional languages so that more students get benefited from such courses.
This institute was founded in 1962 as a National Institute of Higher Learning to pursue quality fundamental research. I must say that it has done outstandingly well in research and is well recognized both-- nationally and globally.
I am aware that this institute has been involved with the proposed mega-science project called India-based Neutrino Observatory (INO). This project aims to build a world-class underground lab close to Madurai to study the exotic and elusive particles called neutrinos. The detectors to be located there will be built indigenously with active participation from industry. There will be a lot of positive takeaways from this ambitious project, and it will elevate India's global position as a leader in scientific research. I am also pleased to note that research is being undertaken by IMSc in other important areas like quantum computing, condensed matter physics and high energy physics.
I must also compliment this institute for contributing to the growth of science in Tamil Nadu through various research collaborations and science outreach programs like "science at the sabha". This is the need of the hour-- to inculcate scientific temper in people, especially in children. I must congratulate this institute for excelling in its mandate and leading the development of mathematical sciences in India.
Once again, I am very glad to be present with you all today. I am also happy to have virtually inaugurated the New Residential Wing of the IMSc Campus.
My best wishes to the IMSc fraternity for all the future endeavours.
May you continue to find magic in numbers!
May the country prosper, guided by science and reason!
May we all collectively thrive in this new world!
Jai Hind!"

Chipped stone assemblages of Haci Hüseyin höyük: a new Neolithic site in Gelibolu Peninsula, Turkey. Preliminary results

Recent archaeological work at the Neolithic site of Hacı Hüseyin (also Hüsrev), located in the southern part of the Gelibolu (Gallipoli) peninsula, reveals clear evidence of the presence of a Neolithic settlement that played an important role on the Neolithization of the Thrace region. Discovered during a systematic field survey in the autumn of 2007, Hacı Hüseyin höyük is one of four important Neolithic sites on the Gelibolu Peninsula. Owing to earlier destruction by modern buildings and highway construction along the coast there may originally have been more than these four Neolithic sites in the region. Today the Neolithic settlement of Hacı Hüseyin has the form of a nearly flat settlement divided into two by the road to the village of Bigalı. The intensive fieldwork projects on the peninsula were focused mainly on pre-Neolithic and Neolithic settlements and were undertaken by an interdisciplinary team of archaeologists and geologists. A large number of lithics were collected during 2007–2011 field surveys. This paper presents the preliminary results of a techno-typological analysis of the lithic assemblages from the site.

Conservatives have either ignored Burke's support for colonial rebellion, or maintained that his career was split between two phases: an early period of support for the 'liberal' cause of America and a later 'conservative' reaction to the Revolution in France. Burke certainly changed his opinions over the course of his career, but these shifts cannot be captured by presuming a contradiction between his support for American resistance and his aversion to the revolution in France. Representations of Burke as a renegade from early idealism are based on the dogmatic assumption that the American and French revolutions were fundamentally 'the same'. Yet for Burke these two events were absolutely different, and in fact he had good reasons for insisting on their difference.

Chemical Alternative to Phthalates Looks Promising
Chemical-Free-Life.org September 29, 2020 Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals (EDC), Endocrine Disruptor, Food Packaging Chemicals, Health Problems and Chemicals, Hormone Problems, Miscarriage Preterm Births, Personal Care Chemicals, Phthalates, Pregnancy and Chemical Exposure, Reproductive Disorders
You never know what health-related problems may reveal themselves in the future, but so far a chemical alternative to phthalates looks promising–especially in terms of the chemical appearing to not be a hormone-disruptor. Researchers analyzed urine samples from pregnant women to look for the presence of the phthalate-alternative called DINCH for short [di(isononyl)cyclohexane-1,2-dicarboxylate]. They found concentrations of DINCH in most of the urine samples but no evidence of effects in lab assays on two key reproductive hormones, progesterone and estrogen.
Detergents, shampoos, vaginal douches, soaps, food packaging and a host of other everyday items including household products and clothing sometimes contain a group of chemicals called phthalates, which are often used to enhance products and add flexibility to plastics. However, mounting research has shown a link between phthalates and effects on hormones in humans, laboratory animals and wildlife, which is why phthalates are increasingly being replaced with other chemicals, such as a compound called DINCH.
Phthalates are often called plasticizers and can be found not only in personal care products to help them maintain a gel-like consistency but also in garden hoses, inflatable toys, medical tubing and food packaging.
However, in addition to other adverse health problems, phthalates can disrupt the hormonal or endocrine system, which may cause pregnancy loss, infertility and harmful effects on the delivery of a baby.
As a result, many manufacturers have replaced phthalates with chemicals such as DINCH, another type of plasticizer–but less is known about the effects of this chemical compound on humans. Nonetheless, DINCH has been used since 2002 in the U.S. and can be found in commercial products such as toys, medical devices and food packaging. Now researchers are studying the effects of this chemical on human health, especially its ability to alter the endocrine (hormonal) system.
Once DINCH enters the human body, it is processed and broken down into compounds called metabolites and excreted in the urine. The researchers collected urine samples over a period of four years from a total of 100 pregnant women living in the Charleston, South Carolina area who planned to deliver at the Medical University of South Carolina medical center. The samples were then analyzed to check for DINCH metabolites.
At the Hollings Marine Laboratory NIST researchers analyzed urine samples for three DINCH metabolites using liquid chromatography (a technique that separates a sample into its individual parts) and tandem mass spectroscopy (which measures the mass-to-charge ratio of ions). Results showed that one type of DINCH metabolite, OH-MINCH, was detected in 98% of the urine samples. But the concentration levels of the metabolite were low and 275 times less than the most prevalent phthalate metabolite, monoethyl phthalate, suggesting that levels of human exposure to DINCH are smaller.
The Race Factor: Researchers weren't just looking at concentration levels of DINCH. Another aspect of the study was to analyze DINCH exposure by race. Of the 100 pregnant women, half were African American, while the others were Caucasian. Concentrations of OH-MINCH were 50% higher in African American women compared to Caucasian women, which was consistent with a 2017 study that looked at phthalate levels by race. Researchers hypothesized the difference in concentration levels could be attributed to the type of personal care products that African American women use compared with Caucasian women and that these products are also replacing phthalates with DINCH. Further follow-up studies are needed to understand the reasons for this discrepancy.
No Endocrine-Disrupting Activity Observed: The researchers did not find evidence that the DINCH metabolites interfered with regulating the signaling of specific hormones required for pregnancy. Using a method called transactivation assay, they added the metabolites to chemical receptors in test tubes for two types of hormones: estrogen, which is involved in sexual reproduction, and progesterone, which is involved in pregnancy. The researchers monitored whether the DINCH metabolites acted in ways similar to the hormones or interfered with the regulation of the hormones. No effects were observed in this study.
Just because there were no observable effects of the DINCH chemical on reproductive hormones in the study does not mean there are none. Much more testing and analysis needs to be conducted to make sure the use of DINCH does not have long-term consequences on human health and well-being.

What Can Home Buyers Expect in 2014?
The housing market in South Florida is definitely on its way up. As the economy improves, the demand for property also increases. But is that necessarily good for the home buyer? Whether you're in Coral Springs, Plantation, Boca Raton or Delray Beach, there is a noticeable trend in the market. The price of homes is increasing. Many economists are calling 2014 the year of the repeat home buyer.
Despite the increasing prices of property throughout the nation, consumer optimism still remains high. According to a survey by Trulia, 74 percent of Americans still envision home ownership as part of achieving their financial goals. That's the highest level recorded since 2010. More importantly, 73 percent of young people ages 18-34 who were hit hardest by the housing recession, view home ownership as a part of their goals. If you're currently a homeowner, this news couldn't be any better.
But what can consumers expect for 2014? Purchasing a home will be a little more challenging, as housing prices are expected to increase faster than incomes and rents. Mortgage rates are also expected to increase from last year due to the growing economy. If you waited until 2014 to buy a home, you may be having a few regrets. The low rates of 2012 and 2013 are in everyone's rear view mirror. But the good news is the competition for purchasing new property is expected to be less frenzied. If you're looking to the near future, 2015 is expected to be a much more promising year. Inventory will increase as a result of more homeowners selling their property. Mortgages will become more attainable because higher rates will reduce refinancing activity. The new mortgage rules of 2014 are designed to provide more clarity to banks about legal and financial risk they face. These rules are expected to prompt more banks to increase their mortgage lending.
The biggest difference between 2014 and last year is the increased presence of repeat home buyers. As home prices increase, investors will buy less. With greater return on their investment and expected price appreciation, repeat buyers are more likely to afford new property. Repeat buyers are less likely to worry about increased housing prices because their home will also increase in value. If you have equity on your current home, you'll be less likely to worry about a down payment than a first-time home buyer.
