PM says govt's black money initiatives tracked Rs 10,500 cr stashed abroad Prime Minister  Narendra Modi  on Friday said the  economy  had performed better on all parameters, including inflation and foreign investment in the past 17 months and laid stressed on effecting inclusive  reforms  to improve people’s lives, rather than only grabbing headlines. He also said the government’s efforts to bring back black money stashed abroad had detected as much as Rs 10,500 crore. “India today is doing better than it was when we took office 17 months ago. GDP (gross domestic product) growth is up and inflation is down, foreign investment is up and CAD (current account deficit) is down, revenues are up... the fiscal deficit is down and the rupee is stable. Obviously, this did not happen by accident... This success is a result of a series of well-thought policies,” he said. Terming reforms to transform India as “a marathon and not a sprint”, Modi said such measures should

Egyptian archaeologist Abdelgawad Harrbi speaks to the press inside the tomb of Iymery. AFP PHOTO / KHALED DESOUKI (Photo credit should read KHALED DESOUKI/AFP/Getty Images) Yesterday, November 4, marked 93 years to the day that the tomb of King Tutankhamen was opened in Egypt, revealing spectacular artifacts and a magnificent mummy of the boy king.  The celebration was somewhat marred, at least here in the U.S., by a leading Republican candidate for president, former neurosurgeon Ben Carson, who confirmed a statement he’d made in 1998 — that he believes the Egyptian pyramids were grain silos, not tombs.

Carson said in his  1998 talk at Andrews University , a Seventh-Day Adventist-affiliated university, “And when you look at the way that the pyramids were made, with many chambers

Businesses with multiple storefronts can now translate into even more advertising deals for Facebook. On Thursday,  Facebook   FB +4.63%  announced the launch of two new local marketing products  aimed at making it easier for businesses with multiple locations to create local ads for each store and better understand customers in each area. The first new tool allows businesses to easily create location-specific ads based on each of their “Pages.” The update allows  businesses  to use the Pages for each of their locations to pull in different ad copy, links and call-to-action buttons, making unique ads for individual stores. For example, a cafe using the product, called “local awareness ads,” could choose to automatically insert a different city name in their ad, depending on the location of the people seeing the ad. People in San Francisco might see, “Join us for dinner in San Francisco,” while those in Dallas would see “Join us for dinner in Dallas.” Call-to-action buttons such
