Savage and subtle – that's how PM Narendra Modi's latest attack on Congress is. Modi has implied that the opposition could sling mud on his name as much as it wants but at least it should refrain from abusing icons like Babasaheb Ambedkar, Vallabhbhai Patel, and Mahatma Gandhi. Modi's comment came in the light of Rahul Gandhi's remark that the mega statue of Sardar Patel in Gujarat was actually constructed by China. Praising his government Modi said that sanitation, which was an important agenda pushed forward by Gandhi in his time, has got an increased coverage during the 4 year term of BJP government. 09:48:31 am
With the elections close at hand, the importance of vote banking has gained traction. The Congress party president Rahul Gandhi is seen in a dilemma of which vote bank to be pocketed. Evidences report of him, trying to assert his Hindu identity and his devotion to Lord Rama on several occasions. In the backdrop of the Rama tumult, he has staged a poll-bound MP, as means of launching experiments. Initialising his campaign in August, he visited the Omkareshwar Jyotirlinga shrine, to pay homage to Lord Shiva and was hailed as a Shiv Bhakt, post his homecoming from Kailash Mansarovar. Further, he has been called as a 'Ram-Bhakt Pandit Rahul Gandhi', after his visit to Chitrakoot in Satna, MP. Therefore, the question of the hour concludes to 'what stand will the party take in the disputed case of Ayodhya, in the light of its erstwhile position on the subject'. The party's approach towards 'soft Hindutva' is a reflection of the efforts made by the party to depart from the traditional 'Nehruvian Secularism' to bag Hindu votes. 10:17:50 am
The discontinuous bridge between the high growth rates and employment levels, accompanied by escalation of productivity without a surge in wages, has flooded the country by the tide of jobless growth. The recommendation from the 'State of Working India 2018', a study conducted by 'Azim Premji University's Centre for Sustainable Development', states the dire need for the government to formulate a 'National Employment Policy'. The study asserts, a divergence between the growth and job rates, accounting for 1% increase in employment with respect to 10% increase in the GDP. Another hinderance to the economy is the crevice between the productivity and wages in the manufacturing sector, implying that the labour productivity has hiked but the worker's wages have grown by mere 1.5 times. Women involvement in paid workforce is low and unequal across states, while caste gaps are also prevalent. The Dalits and Adivasis depict over-representation in low-paying jobs. 05:43:38 am

The judgement on the constitutionality of Section 57 of the Aadhar Act, by a constitution bench led by Chief Justice Of India Dipak Misra, will be deliveredtoday.

The Congress, questioning the Modi government's silence over the Rafale deal, claimed it to be the reason of the delay in the initiation of the Lokpal bill during his tenure. Demanding truth with regard to this case, he urged the Prime Minister to roll out 'sachhe din' at least, ridiculing the promised yet never-delivered 'achhe din'. Probing if the Prime minister is (Reliance Defence chief) Ambani's PM or the country's PM, he accused the ruling party of resorting to abusive outbursts rather than coming clean to the masses.

The scope of SCBA is wide, having grown beyond the traditional merchandise trade. Since the opening up and reform of China, and as the Singapore-China bilateral ties strengthen, the economy and trade relations have become increasingly developed. As such, more and more Singaporean business enterprises have engaged China, such as in the manufacturing and transportation industries, the services industry (encompassing travel, legal services, financial and enterprise management), and real estate and infrastructure developments. With these business enterprises having joined SCBA, the significance of the Association is further strengthened.
Our Association has always maintained close contact with the various governmental departments and business associations in both China and Singapore. We have received many Chinese visitors, such as delegates of the Chinese government, business mission groups, investment negotiation groups; we also sponsor exhibitions and business conferences, as well as organise delegation visits to China to meet with the central government and local authorities at various levels, and build up strong relations with China's economic and trade organisations. In addition, we also organise exhibitions, seminars, and online forums to provide many opportunities for our members to discuss and exchange ideas. We also provide various services promoting the growth of our members in an innovative and flexible manner. Whenever our members encounter difficulties that are broader in nature, we will seek to gain a deeper understanding of the problem, and set out to negotiate and discuss potential solutions, riding on our influence and organizational strength to clinch the benefits our members deserve. This has won us widespread support and high praise from our members.
Over the past 40 years, under the leadership of various councils, and with the strong support and cooperation from our members, our Association has constantly sought renewal, improvements and adjustments of our business policies. We have achieved encouraging results, and contributed greatly to the enhanced understanding and friendship between the people of both countries, on top of boosting Singapore and China's economy.
As we enter the 21st century, a highly competitive and challenging era, we are faced with a global economic exchange of funds, talents, technologies, information. As a non-profit organisation, the SCBA will strive to pool together our resources and seize opportunities, working hard to develop our organisation, continuing our mission in promoting bilateral economic growth and cultural exchanges. We seek to become even more significant and influential, providing greater and better services for our members.

The Hindu God Shiva is popularly known as Nataraja; which is a Sanskrit word meaning – 'Lord of Dance'. As per the Hindu mythology, Lord Shiva is a cosmic dancer, whose dance destroys the weary world and paves way for God Brahma to start the process of creation. The Nataraj form of Lord Shiva originated in the Southern India by the artists of the Chola period(880-1279CE).
The sculptures of Lord Shiva are symbolic. The cosmic dance of Shiva; also called 'Anandatandava', means'The dance of Bliss'. It was in the presence of the gods and took place at the center of the universe. Shiva is seen with four arms in the poised pose of tribhanga; in Bharatanatyam. These four hands depict the four main directions i.e. the East, West, North and South. In the upper right hand of Shiva is a small drum, also called 'damru'. It personifies the sound of creation. The lower right raised hand signifies protection. The lower left hand symbolizes peace and being calm during times of trouble or at the time of misery. The idol has a snake in his handand it can also be seen uncoiling from the lower right forearm of Shiva and entwined within his hair. It stands for goddess Ganga in Shiva's hair.In the Nataraja form, Shiva is seen dancing on the aureole of flames with his right leg lifted and left leg balanced over a demon or dwarf (Apasmara). This personifies the victory over ignorance. The artisans have amazingly taken care of visualizing the minutest details of the symbolic sculpture; for example how the dwarf looks at Shiva with his head turned when he is standing on his back or the beautifully crafted jewelry of Lord Shiva.
It depicts the continuous process of creation and destruction; which is a natural phenomenon and the basis of existence. The Shiva dance is of two forms; which depicts the two aspects of Shiva's nature – he destroys so as to create. The gentle form of dance which is called 'Lasya' is associated with the creation of the world. The second form of dance is the violent and dangerous one; which is called the 'Tandava', which is associated with the destruction of this world.
Most of the Shiva temples in South of India have sculptures of the form of Shiva which is also called 'Sabesan' by the Tamil people. It means 'The Lord who dances on the dais'. The sculptures are mostly made in bronze and are considered as 'The symbol of Indian Culture'.
These beautiful and eye catching works of art depicting the dance of Nataraja can be seen in Poompuhar. The wonderful sculptures can be bought from the Tamilnadu Handicraft Development Corporation; which is a Government of Tamil Nadu undertaking. These carefully crafted pieces of art have little variations which makes each sculpture unique and magnificent in itself. These four splendid works of the artisans are:-

TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System)

Anti-lock Brake System
An illuminated brake system light could mean the parking brake is on, the brake fluid is low, or there is an issue with the anti-lock braking system (ABS). Check to make sure the parking brake is off and have a professional technician check the brake fluid level and diagnose if there is an ABS issue. Type your paragraph here.

Check Engine Light
The check engine light usually indicates that a vehicle system, (ignition, fuel injection, emission control), is not operating properly, even if the vehicle appears to be running normally. A glowing light doesn't mean you have to immediately pull the car to the side of the road, but have it inspected as soon as possible. A flashing check engine light requires immediate attention.
What is that dashboard light telling you?
You may have noticed the illuminated symbols on your dashboard when you start your car. While these lights usually go off right away and are soon forgotten sometimes one of the lights will stay on. Warning lights on the dashboard are simply that, WARNINGS. You could potentially have a problem and should have your car inspected for needed repairs.
While dashboard warning lights vary by vehicle, the following are examples of common warning lights.

A request for a six-week temporary tent during Ramadan for a local banquet hall created a stir at last Thursday's Hickory Hills Council meeting.
Ald. Thomas McAvoy (3rd) approved a request for the tent for Aladdin's Palace Banquet Hall, 8821 W. 87th St., near the end of what seemed as though was going to be a brief and inconsequential meeting.
McAvoy presented a six-page report outlining the request from the owners of the banquet hall, Layal ElSahfei and her sister, Kamar. He added that the request was supported by Mayor Mike Howley and Brian Fonte, his fellow 3rd Ward alderman.
He stated that the owner of the 87th Street Plaza where the facility is located is Alan ElSahfei, their uncle.
"He is a stellar businessman and is very cooperative with our city's requirements about the plaza," said McAvoy about the banquet hall that is in the 3rd Ward.
According to the written request, the ElSahfei family wants to erect a 30-by-30 foot tent in the parking lot to the east of the banquet hall. The tent would be used to accommodate seating for overflow attendees and those wishing to smoke at events held in connection with the Muslim Holy Month of Ramadan, which runs from May 26 through June 24. Layal ElSahfei, who was present at the meeting, explained that the tent would serve as an overflow area for their business, which normally seats about 250 people.
"All food would be served inside the restaurant but customers could carry their plates out to the tent. Smoking would also be allowed in the tent," she said.
Mayor Mike Howley joined McAvoy in support of the request, stating that the tent would be a temporary addition.
"They have been good corporate citizens and since this a temporary situation, it will give the owners a chance to evaluate the process to see if it is workable for future events," Howley said. "Even though I do not have a vote, I support this request."
At that point, the council erupted with numerous questions for ElSahfei.
Ald. Scott Zimmerman (4th Ward) asked about the noise level.
"There are residents just across the way from that area," Zimmerman said. "What are the hours planned for this? Is there going to be music?
Ald. Debbie Ferrero (2nd Ward) asked about the purpose of the tent.
"Are there going to be tables and chairs set up? Is this going to be considered an expansion of the banquet hall?
As ElSahfei attempted to answer the barrage of questions, McAvoy intervened with comments about his meeting with the owner of the plaza.
"The Aladdin facility has been a tenant in the 87th Street Plaza in the past four years without a single violation. It is family run and a well-respected business in the community."
Tension in the room continued to escalate, prompting Building Commissioner Joe Moirano to speak up in defense of Layal ElSahfei.
"Before this goes any further, I want to state that I have worked with this young lady since the business has been opened and I have had nothing but cooperation from her," Moirano said. "She complies with any requests from the city, she runs a very solid business, the establishment is exceptionally clean, meeting all health requirements and I think we should consider this request for a temporary tent at the facility. I agree with the mayor that it can be evaluated through the month they have requested to see if it is a viable decision."
Howley then called for a vote. It was 7-1 in favor of allowing the tent to be used. Ald. John Szeszycki (1st Ward) cast the opposing vote.
A second agenda item also prompted a series of questions when Village Engineer Mike Spolar presented a request to award a contract in the amount of $88,524 to A.C. Paving Striping for the 2017 Micro-Surfacing Street Program. Ald. Brian Waight (1st Ward) said he would only approve it if the work included a second layer of paving on 94th Street.
Public Works Director Len Boettcher stated that putting down a second layer would result in a change to the bid amount. Szeszyck and McAvoy also questioned why the street could not receive a second layer of paving. Boettcher replied that it is a dead-end street and was not on the priority list.
The request was approved in a 6-2 vote with McHugh and Szeszycki voting nay.
In other business, four newly elected aldermen were installed with City Clerk D'Lorah Catizone administering the oaths of office. Returning to office were Waight, Fonte and Joseph Stachnik (4th Ward).
On another matter, the council heard a presentation from Bryan Farr, executive director of The Historic US Route 20 Association Inc.
Farr had spent the day traveling through Hickory Hills on US Route 20, which is also 95th Street, with McAvoy. They visited various restaurants and sights along the way in the city.
"Our purpose is to encourage travel and tourism along America's longest highway, which spans the continent through 12 states from the Atlantic to the Pacific oceans. It is 3,365 miles of highway, from Boston to Oregon," he said.
He added that unlike Route 66, Historic US Route 20 is drivable from coast to coast and follows much of its original 1926 alignment through small town America. Many malls shops, diners, historical sites and museums await exploration, Farr said.
Farr said there is a preconception that this particular portion of Route 20 through Hickory Hills is crowded and congested.
"I wanted to visit it myself to encourage people to drive it rather than by passing it on the expressways. I found it to be a very friendly community. Today, we visited a number of interesting neighborhood restaurants that were great as well as some other historical places. It was truly enjoyable."
He said the Historical Association provides large signs 24-by-36 inches than can be displayed along the route in the various cities at a cost of $100.
Howley thanked Farr for his presentation and information and thanked McAvoy for hosting the tour.
