Sarathkumar files defamation case against Vishal..

CHENNAI: The bitter pre-poll theatrics to control the influential South Indian Film Actors Association took a curious turn on Friday when incumbent president R Sarathkumar initiated criminal defamation proceedings against actor Vishal.

Vishal has emerged as the face of challenge to the old guard. Actor Kamal Haasan has also been backing the younger lot which has fielded actor Nasser as presidential candidate to take on Sarathkumar.

Vishal is taking on Radha Ravi for the general secretary post.

Vishal and his team had been touring the state for several months now garnering support from stage artistes and others.

While soaking at a meeting in Salem in June, he made certain remarks against Sarathkumar for which the latter slapped a defamation notice on him.

Though a reply had been sent, Sarathkumar has now initiated defamation proceedings in the chief metropolitan magistrate at Egmore. The matter is expected to be taken up for hearing on Monday.

EPA and the regulation of greenhouse gasses

This week, EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy joined private and public sector leaders for a second annual White House roundtable discussion about the progress made and new steps taken to curb emissions of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), potent greenhouse gases used in refrigeration and air conditioning.

iPad Pro Review

The iPad Pro is, at first glance, completely crazy. A giant iPad with all the limitations of iOS, coupled with added bulk that makes it harder to tote, and a price tag that starts at Rs. 70,000 , all make it a hard sell. That's only the starting price though, and you're going to end up paying a lot more for this tablet. Realistically, you should get the 128GB model, which costs Rs. 79,900, and also the Apple Smart Keyboard , which will set you back by Rs. 14,900. Artists, designers, and others might also need to buy the Apple Pencil , priced at Rs. 8,600 - which means a final price tag between Rs. 94,800 and Rs. 1,03,400. At that price, you can't really compare it to the iPad Air 2 , the last 10-inch model to be released, with an MRP of Rs. 49,900 for the 128GB variant.
