This documentary by Mani M. Mani tries to determine the manner in which K.K. Hebbar's paintings were shaped by European masters. The film suggest hints of Gauguin's Brittany in Hebbar's impressions of the rustic life of Kerala. During his 30-year career (he died in 1996), Hebbar was as much an individualist as he was rooted in the Indian identity. The simplicity in much of Hebbar's work was true to his memories of his childhood days, when he would draw on the mud walls of his home with pieces of charcoal. The screening is part of An Artist's Quest—K.K. Hebbar: A Retrospective exhibition, on till 20 October. 30 minutes.
3pm. National Gallery of Modern Art, Manikyavelu Mansion, 49, Palace Road (22201027). Entry, ₹ 10 for Indians and ₹ 150 for non-Indians.
Little Jasmine Productions presents Franco-Romanian playwright Eugène Ionesco's first play, La Cantatrice Chauve(The Bald Soprano). The play attempts to explore the travails of learning the English language. But the legendary playwright was quick to point out in his interviews and writings that the play's setting in bourgeois English life is only incidental—its imagination is universal. The result is a one-act play that pretends to have three acts, eschews all traditional narrative devices of motivation, conflict and resolution, and features characters locked in a world of non sequiturs and failed understanding. Guitarist Konarak Reddy will give live sound design on stage. 1 hour.
The Association for the Mentally Challenged, in association with Bangalore Little Theatre (BLT), presents Robi's Garden—a sample of Rabindranath Tagore's writing for children. The six stories included have been adapted for the stage by BLT. 1 hour, 30 minutes.

(Reuters Health) - E-cigarettes aren't likely to keep kids away from traditional cigarettes, a U.S. study suggests.
Instead, researchers found, adolescents who experimented with e-cigarettes ended up smoking traditional cigarettes just as much as teens who never tried vaping.
In the initial phase of the study, researchers surveyed 6,258 high schoolers in Southern California and Connecticut about their vaping and smoking usage. Roughly 14 to 17 percent had used traditional cigarettes and 23 to 29 percent had tried e-cigarettes.
Next, researchers surveyed the teens again one year later. Overall, 7 percent of the teens who had never tried cigarettes had started smoking traditional combustible cigarettes, researchers report in Pediatrics. But the proportion was higher - at 21 percent - among the teens who had been using e-cigarettes.
Compared to the youth who never tried vaping, those who did were more than four times more likely to be dabbling with cigarettes or smoking one to two days a month by the end of the study.
And vapers were also more than three times more likely to be frequent smokers by the end of the study.
Some previous research has suggested e-cigarettes might help some adult smokers cut back on traditional cigarettes or quit altogether.
"The research on e-cigarettes for smoking cessation among adults is mixed," said Benjamin Chaffee, a researcher at the University of California San Francisco who wasn't involved in the study. Some adults may be able to use e-cigarettes as a cessation aid, but some studies suggest vaping may make it harder to quit, he said.
The picture for teens is even murkier.
Instead, the current study offers fresh evidence that vaping may lure some young people to tobacco who might otherwise avoid it or make it harder for them to stop using these tobacco products once they start.
The study wasn't a controlled experiment designed to prove whether or how vaping might directly lead to smoking or impact teen cigarette use.
Still, the results suggest vaping won't help teens stop smoking, said Janet Audrain-McGovern of the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia.

There is only one woman for Karachi.
Her name launched a thousand protests and forever altered the city's history. This is not to belittle the daily toil of our homemakers, nurses, architects, CEOs – women who contribute to Karachi just as much as any of its residents. But for International Women's Day, we thought we would remember Bushra, the 20-year-old Sir Syed Girls College student, whose death in a traffic accident on April 15, 1985 was a turning point in the lives of everyone who has lived and will live in Karachi.
Twenty-seven years have passed, but Abdul Qayyum, who works as a clerk at the sports department at the college in Nazimabad, still has fresh memories of the day she died. "There were two N-1 minibuses racing and one of the bus drivers couldn't apply the brakes in time," he told The Express Tribune. Such is collective memory that many people believe that Bushra was killed while alighting from the bus and not as a result of being hit by one. Daily Dawn reported that the bus had knocked over a group of students, and three others were injured along with Najma.
According to Qayyum, Bushra and her sister Najma were crossing Nawab Siddiq Ali Khan Road at the time. Najma was badly injured – her leg was reportedly fractured – but Bushra was killed. Her body was taken to Abbasi Shaheed Hospital before the college staff arrived at the scene. They arranged a car for Najma to be taken to the hospital.
"The students of the Sir Syed Girls College tried to protest but [Professor Atiqa] Baig – the principal at the time – closed the college gates," recalled Qayyum. "The girls forced their way out and were joined by female protesters from the nearby Usmania College and adjacent Government Degree College for Women, Nazimabad." They gathered at Golimaar Chowrangi and boys from colleges in the vicinity also joined them. The boys toppled and then torched the bus.
The state responded. The police first lathi-charged the protesters and then unleashed an intense bout of teargas. The shells fell inside Sir Syed Girls College and even inside an ambulance. Dawn reported that four people were wounded by bullets and pellets, 80 were taken to hospital. It was so bad that the people living in Nazimabad had to keep buckets of water to counter the effects of the tear gas.
Students boycotted classes, put up barricades and pulled down hoardings. Dawn described scenes of total panic in Nazimabad and Liaquatabad, where the protests spread, and educational institutions were shut down for three days. The curfew was lifted for a few hours in select areas so people could buy food.
The ire of the protesters inevitably turned on the transporters. This sector was dominated by Pathans and this is what people have generally come to believe was the bus driver's background. This has been cited in several books and research. Here too there is a discrepancy in the story and confusion. According to Ghous Ali Shah, who was the chief minister in 1985, the man who was caught and tried in a sessions court for his role in the accident, was originally from Azad Kashmir. And then, according to the president of Karachi Transport Ittehad, Irshad Hussain Shah Bukhari, the crime was committed by a Punjabi-speaking driver, who later spent 10 years in jail, and not a Pakhtun.
Nonetheless, Bushra's death precipitated ethnic riots and violence. A week on, the toll reached 50 with 300 people injured, according to an account by the Associated Press (AP) news agency at the time. "Every ten minutes someone is being brought to the hospital with gunshot wounds," AP was told by a local reporter for the second day of the riots.
Ghous Ali Shah ordered an investigation. The IG of police at the time was Agha Saadat Ali Shah, who is now dead. The investigating officer of the case, SSP Munawar Ali, died in 2006. Bushra Zaidi's family, who had no political affiliation, are believed to have left the city and have not been heard from since the mid-1990s. Her father was reportedly working in Oman when his daughter was killed, and flew back.
Tahir Siddiqui, who owns a printing press in Nazimabad's printing market, was approached by some boys who wanted a pamphlet to be prepared. He recalled how it contained inflammatory messages against Pathans and how it was later distributed in the Nazimabad area. No group was named on them.
Student leader Altaf Hussain had already created the All Pakistan Mohajir Students Organisation by then. Bushra's death became a breaking point for a people who had already complained of not just the changes in the city, but also state discrimination. "For the first time, Karachi was high on the list of government priorities and things began to change," recalled Dr Farooq Sattar of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM), while commenting on what Bushra's case did for Karachi. For one, he told The Express Tribune, it led to a commission being set up in the late 1980s by then chief secretary Masooduz Zaman, who realised that there was a sense of deprivation and it needed to be corrected with the allocation of resources.
Subsequently, during Sattar's tenure as mayor, 100 million gallons of water were added to the city's supply. "Improving civic infrastructure, developing a mass transit programme, the water allocations… these were all as a result of the Bushra Zaidi accident," Sattar said.
And thus, as we look back, nearly three decades on, we see that, in some ways, Bushra Zaidi is the only woman who matters for Karachi.

Gradually accelerating or quickening in time. Used chiefly as a direction.
An accelerando passage or movement.
gradually increasing in speed (used as a musical direction).
Noun 1. accelerando - a gradually increasing tempo of music; "my ear will not accept such violent accelerandos"
Adv. 1. accelerando - with increasing speed; "here you must play accelerando"
For example, one difficult clarinet passage calls for accelerando on a repeated note with varying degrees of breathy sound, flutter-tongue, and crescendo.
The preludes, while following the established trend of writing one prelude in each of the major and minor keys, also employ 20th-century compositional techniques such as planing, quartal and quintal harmonies, unmetered pieces, feathered beam accelerando and time brackets.
Indeed, Licad astounded up to the end with the last ascending scale and bombastic octave work building up in accelerando in which the passages could not have accelerated in velocity any more than Licad played.
There is also an element of plainchant in Shostakovich's Fifth Symphony, probably one of the most ubiquitous of all 20th century symphonies, but here, again, emerging as newly minted, with a flowing sense of forward momentum and delicate dynamic nuances - and, as the finale shrilled into action, a hairraising accelerando.
Here one finds a table of 12-tone row permutations; a sketch in which the composer worked out the rotational chord; an excerpt from the narrator's part as it approaches the choral entrance; a note in which the composer calculated tempo markings for the accelerando at the same passage; and a sketch of the unison choral part.
The piano ends the song with a repeated sixteenth note chord figure accelerando e cres.
This stunning achievement, which may seem "mystically" rendered to some, is in fact mathematically built into tonality Not only is the dominant an overtone of the tonic, but the numerical ratio of their vibrating sounds is 3:2, which of course yields not only the basic duple and triple time of classical rhythm but of Western poetic meters, so that anticipations and suspensions of dissonances can be mirrored in the scored syncopations of the rhythm, the ritardando and accelerando of the performance.
Hugo and Locus Award winner Charles Stross is the author of singularity sky (2003), Accelerando (2005), Rule34 (*** Mar/Apr 2012), and a handful of novels and novellas in The Laundry Files, as well as The rapture of the Nerds (2012), a collaboration with Cory Doctorow.
The accelerando and ritenuto of each phrase needs to feel uncontrived, a natural speeding up and slowing down within the given notes.
Apropos of life in Rome, his tempo veers dizzily between relaxed and accelerando, more often in the latter lane, propelled by buoyant Italian pop hits like the kick off, "Volare.

While schools have been busy navigating Covid and teaching the Education Workforce Council has been hard at work maintaining professional standards this term.
The EWC is tasked with keeping public confidence in staff at maintained schools and colleges by ensuring they come up to the standards required.
Seven education staff were banned from the classroom by EWC fitness to practise panels between September and December and a further six received official reprimands on their records but can continue working. Another two were suspended from the register for six months.

Among those struck off the education register were two head teachers who didn't manage health and safety adequately and school support workers who became over-familiar with pupils.
Here are the education staff whose behaviour amounted to misconduct and have been struck off the EWC's register and those who have received an official reprimand which will be kept on their record for a stated period.
Some of them can re-apply to re-join the register in two years. Two were suspended for six months and can return in the summer.
EWC misconduct hearings are open to the media and public but have been held virtually during the pandemic. The allegations, findings, and decisions of all the hearings held are published by the EWC and can be seen here.
Some hearings are held in private for child protection reasons.

The committee, sitting remotely from September 21 to 23, heard that she breached school policies by giving her personal email address and mobile phone number to a girl identified as Pupil A, and between October 2018 and January 2020 sent her numerous messages, many of them late at night. The matter came to light when Mrs Halliday showed photographs of Pupil A and two other pupils to colleagues. They reported it to senior staff and Pupil A then produced 10 pages of transcripts of messages she had received, the hearing was told.
Presenting officer Cadi Dewi told the committee: "She said she was uncomfortable with it and wanted it to stop."
Ms Dewi said there was no suggestion of any sexual implication in the relationship but all the pupils were vulnerable and should have been supported.
In one of the messages Mrs Halliday said: "No-one will ever be good enough for her (Pupil B) or you. I feel like you are my own daughters. I love you both so much.xxx."
After falling out with Pupil B she told Pupil A: "Tell (Pupil B) not to message me telling me she's going to collect a parcel of contraceptives, wtf was I to say to that, yeah go and f*** him??
Louise Kerfoot-Robson, who was Mrs Halliday's line manager and assistant head teacher at the time, told the hearing that although Pupil B was 16 and had reached the age of consent that discussion should have been reported to the school's safeguarding officer.
Mrs Kerfoot-Robson described Mrs Halliday as having a "nurturing nature" and being a good worker. "I think she just overstepped the mark," she said.
When interviewed Mrs Halliday admitted all the breaches and resigned in February 2020. She did not attend the school disciplinary hearing or the fitness to practise hearing.
Committee chairman Robert Newsome, in finding the allegations proven, said: "The messages were inappropriate in tone, nature, and content, including swearing, gossip, and personal and derogatory comments about another pupil."
Mrs Halliday was removed from the register for two years and will have to reapply if she wants to re-register.

Robert Alexander Essex
Completing assignments for his students saw further education teacher Robert Alexander Essex slapped with a six-month suspension from teaching.

Coal Kills And Coal Is Not Dead
Amid all the "war on coal" and climate denial banter, you never hear one basic fact from either side: Coal kills. And far from the "coal is dead" trope that well-meaning environmental observers stress now, another fact is that our nation is on track to mine 785 million tons of coal this year. That...


Physicians across the nation repeat this line almost verbatim every time a affected person expresses any concern about price. It helps reaffirm our function – we went into medicine to save lives, not handle funds – but principally, it is a technique to deflect our discomfort with the truth: we do not know, and no way of finding out, how a lot your blood check, CT scan or surgical process will price you. it's now completely discredited, and we have a pragmatic vacuum on this planet right now concerning doctrines. However I see the beginnings, in writings and stirrings, of the making of a doctrine which combines anti-Americanism with anti-globalization, and the 2 may become a powerful drive in a world that could be very unequal and turbulent.

What you'll never hear them point out is that so many Individuals are going elsewhere for remedy and surgical procedures as a result of it's so much inexpensive and simply pretty much as good. These are people with cash, and usually some type of insurance coverage. However they don't seem to be silly, and when their insurance refuses to pay and so they're faced with paying extravagant charges for something they will get hold of elsewhere for half as a lot or better, they go there instead. So those in America who can't afford treatment don't get it, and those that can afford it are getting it elsewhere, leaving hospitals with a lack of paying business.

Q: Adapting forfiles command to look through folders instead of files I have written a backup command that deletes files within a E:\Backup\ldap directory that are older than two days. I have tested and this works fine.
(forfiles /p E:\Backup\ldap /s /d -2 /c "cmd /c echo @path >> E:\Backup\files_deleted_log_%date:~-10,2%%date:~-7,2%%date:~-4,4%.txt & cmd /c del /q @path")

I am in the process of adapting this command so that it looks at the top level folders within the specified directory and recursively deletes the folder and its contents if it is older than two days.
(forfiles /p E:\Backup\Sybase /d -2 /c "cmd /c if @isdir == true echo @path >> E:\Backup\files_deleted_log_%date:~-10,2%%date:~-7,2%%date:~-4,4%.txt & cmd /c if @isdir == true del /s /q @path")

I took out the first /s from the previous file command as I do not want to search recursively, I only want to look at the last modified dates of the top level folders within the E:\Backup\Sybase directory.
I also added if @isdir == true to determine whether the file is a folder and updated the delete command to include /s so that a recursive delete is performed.
Each time I execute the command though, nothing is deleted.

A: I used if @ISDIR==TRUE to determine whether the file is a directory before using RD to recursively remove the directory.
(forfiles /p E:\Backup\Sybase /d -2 /c "CMD /C if @ISDIR==TRUE echo @PATH >> E:\Backup\files_deleted_log_%date:~-10,2%%date:~-7,2%%date:~-4,4%.txt & if @ISDIR==TRUE RD /Q /S @FILE")

Q: Си. Объявление динамического двумерного массива Я изучаю объявление двумерных динамических массивов в Си. Я полагал, что динамические массивы здесь можно объявлять только с помощью ссылок и malloc().
Сначала я использовал malloc() в цикле.
int m, n, c;
scanf("%d %d", &m, &n);

int** a = (int**)malloc(m*sizeof(int*));

for (c = 0; c < m; c++) {
  a[c] = (int*)malloc(n*sizeof(int));
}

Затем пришёл к единственному вызову malloc().
int m, n, c;
scanf("%d %d", &m, &n);

int** a = (int**)malloc(m*sizeof(int*) + m*n*sizeof(int));

int* row = &a[n];

for (c = 0; c < m; row += n, c++) {
  a[c] = row;
}

А потом попробовал элементарное:
int m, n;
scanf("%d %d", &m, &n);

int a[m][n];

И это сработало. Это нормально? Этим можно пользоваться?

A: Если под динамическим подразумевается массив, размер которого может меняться во время компиляции, то без malloc не обойтись.
Если нужен массив, размер которого определяется в run-time, то записать int a[m][n] можно. Память выделится локально на стеке, но размер массива нельзя будет сменить.
Это нормальная практика, но нужно иметь ввиду, что в С++ такой возможности нет.
