I think this is a important discussion. In Tamil Nadu last execution was 16
years ago. Do we sitll need this kind of punishment?
That too these three need this after spending 21 years in prison. In india the punishment next to execution is 14 year of Jail. But they have spent 7 more years.
This is the discussion about the death penality of three people arrested
for the assessination of Rajiv Gandhi.
The news channel name is Pudiya Thalaimurai. Mr Subaa Veerapandiyan
and Subramanian Swamy are in this discussion.
Listen to Swamy's words, also some of the points given by Mr Subaa
Veerapandiyan. I think those points are not been exposed by the medias.
Lets hope for those three [Murugan, Santhan and Perarivalan] will get justice.

To the Apple Board of Directors and the Apple Community:
I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple’s CEO, I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come.
I hereby resign as CEO of Apple. I would like to serve, if the Board sees fit, as Chairman of the Board, director and Apple employee.
As far as my successor goes, I strongly recommend that we execute our succession plan and name Tim Cook as CEO of Apple.
I believe Apple’s brightest and most innovative days are ahead of it. And I look forward to watching and contributing to its success in a new role.
I have made some of the best friends of my life at Apple, and I thank you all for the many years of being able to work alongside you.
Steve.

I read with dismay that Kannada is to be recognized as a classical language. Like French, English, and German, Kannada is a rich and worthy language. But India has only two true indigenous classical languages -- Sanskrit and Tamil, each of which is considerably older than the other Indian languages and has an independent literary tradition. Tamil, not known as well as it should be in the rest of India, has an early literature that is entirely independent of Sanskrit, both in its literary forms and its vocabulary. This is not true of Kannada, whose earliest writings are deeply indebted to and imitative of Sanskrit. The earliest work in the language is Kaviraajamaarga, whose title and content are entirely based on Sanskrit. Kannada does not satisfy two of the criteria listed by the Government of India for a classical language. First, it is not 1500 years old. The fact that a Kannada dialect may have possibly influenced some Tamil form hardly means it has texts 1500 years old. Nor is it possible to claim that its literary tradition is original. Unlike that of Tamil, which is genuinely original, the Kannada tradition follows Sanskrit quite faithfully. It is not original by any stretch of the imagination. A comparison of Kavirajamarga with the Tolkappiyam would make this point perfectly clear. The Kannada scholars feel they have achieved a victory, no doubt, but in reality all they have accomplished is to foist on the world and on Kannada speakers themselves a myth. To ignore the true richness of one's language and to base one's appreciation of it on a falsehood does no one any good. The study of language and literature in India is highly political -- Kannada is hardly the only language that suffers from this situation.

I read with dismay that Telugu will be recognized as a classical language. Like French, English, and German, Telugu is a rich and worthy language. But India has only two true indigenous classical languages -- Sanskrit and Tamil, each of which is considerably older than the other Indian languages and has an independent literary tradition. Tamil, not known as well as it should be in the rest of India, has an early literature that is entirely independent of Sanskrit, both in its literary forms and its vocabulary. This is not true of Telugu, whose earliest writings are deeply indebted to and imitative of Sanskrit. The same can be said of Kannada. The rush to label languages as classical that are nothing of the sort can do nothing but harm those languages. I could claim English, my own native language, as classical (with at least as much justification as the Telugu scholars have for claiming their language is classical), but I would only succeed in detracting attention from the true worth of the language while propagating a myth. Telugu and Kannada are not, by any rational criterion, classical languages. That its scholars insist on what is patently false seems bizarre, for it is utterly unwarranted by the great literary traditions that they study. This rush to mythologize language suggests to me that the study of literature in India is still immature. No English or French scholar in the West would question the classical status of Greek or rush to give the same status to their own language. Rather, scholars study Greek in order to better understand their own literatures. If only scholars of modern Indian languages had such an unbiased view! If Telugu and Kannada scholars would study Tamil, they would find their understanding of their own traditions multiplied many times. The same is true of Tamil scholars, who often eschew the study of Sanskrit and of other Indian languages. The study of Sanskrit will broaden the understanding of Tamil just as the study of Tamil will benefit Sanskrit scholars. I find myself at a loss to understand why scholars of Indian languages must be so parochial. To claim one's language is something it is not, or to fail to study other languages and traditions that throw light on one's own, are, to my mind, marks of a scholarly culture that is still undeveloped and immature.

Do you love eating rice but scared about the health quotient? It would
not be shocking to accept that nutritional benefits of rice have broken
the common belief that rice is not healthy and is only good for increasing your belly.
Rice is healthy! Benefits of rice are numerous as it is a good source of proteins, vitamin D calcium, phosphorous, fiber and iron. But many customers prefer cosmetic rice in daily life as they are free from germs and bacterias and close their eyes when it comes to health.
Different types of rice like the very beneficial brown rice, red rice and black rice are packed with nutritional benefits. Following are the details of rice benefits in terms of nutrition.
Brown Rice: This is an unpolished rice which has a brownish layer over it known as bran. Nutritional benefits of brown rice is that it is rich in Thiamine (vitamin B), niacin, Vitamin B6 and K, calcium, iron, phosphorus, potassium, carbohydrates and proteins which help control blood sugar and cholesterol. The rice is rich in fibers, and is an easily digested starch food. Its mineral content supplies nutrients for the hair, teeth, nails, muscles and bones thus making it a body building food. It is also beneficial for curing diarrhea and stomach or intestinal ulcers.
Black Rice: Also known as 'Forbidden Rice' in China, black rice also has the bran cover which is removed to make white rice. Black rice is rich in iron, fiber, antioxidants and anthorcyanin (a cancer fighting agent). These nutrients protects the body from heart diseases and improves memory. The noir colored food is low in sugar and its higher concentration of anthorcyanin makes the antioxidants have great affect on the body than other oil soluble antioxidants like brown rice. Therefore, a nice nutritional benefit for the body.
Red Rice: Red yeast rice, another name of red rice is an inexpensive herbal remedy against the expensive medicines. It is made by growing red yeast on white rice and then powdering it. This rice has been used in China as a traditional medicine for centuries to cure ailments such as digestive problems, circulatory problems to high cholesterol level control and triglycerides in the blood. Red rice contains monacolins (naturally occurring statins) which are known to limit cholesterol synthesis. Lovastatin, a content of yeast rice is used in pharmaceutical drugs. Health-wise it has been used as a remedy to lower total cholesterol, LDL levels and triglyceride levels. Few people consider it as a strong pharmaceutical drug so doctors advise before consuming it, will be good. Even pregnant or breast feeding women should not consume red rice.
Rice should be soaked in water for 25-30 minutes before boiling it as this process is necessary to soften the bran layer on the rice seed. It sustains the nutritional benefits of the rice.

Is English preventing the spread of great ideas in other languages ?

Resizing the image by fixed width and height some times go bad. The dimensions of the image should be preserved while resizing.
I thing the below logic will help to solve this problem.
private BufferedImage resizeImage(File imageFile) {
int width = 250;
int height = 250;
BufferedImage image = null;
try {
image = ImageIO.read(imageFile);
} catch (IOException e) {
}
if (image.getWidth() < width && image.getHeight() < height) {
return image;
} else if (image.getWidth() > image.getHeight()) {
float percent = (250f / image.getWidth()) * 100;
height = ((image.getHeight() * (int) percent) - image.getHeight()) / 100;
} else {
float percent = (250f / image.getHeight()) * 100;
width = ((image.getWidth() * (int) percent) - image.getWidth()) / 100;
}
BufferedImage resizedImage = new BufferedImage(width, height, image.getType());
Graphics2D g = resizedImage.createGraphics();
g.drawImage(image, 0, 0, width, height, null);
g.dispose();
return resizedImage;
}
Here is the code to resize an Image
private BufferedImage resizeImage(File imageFile) {
int width = 250;
int height = 250;
BufferedImage image = null;
try {
image = ImageIO.read(imageFile);
} catch (IOException e) {
}
BufferedImage resizedImage = new BufferedImage(width, height, image.getType());
Graphics2D g = resizedImage.createGraphics();
g.drawImage(image, 0, 0, width, height, null);
g.dispose();
return resizedImage;
}
To write an image as file
ImageIO.write(image, extension, file);
image --> RenderedImage; My case this is BufferedImage
extension --> file type
file --> your output file object
