Evidence (2019-03-01): Pakistan hands over captured pilot Abhinandan Varthaman to India [...] Pakistan has handed over a captured pilot to Indian authorities at the Wagah border, a move aimed at de-escalating tensions after days of hostilities between the South Asian neighbours.

Evidence (2019-03-01): Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan on Thursday, 28 February, had announced that his country will release captured Indian Air Force pilot Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman on Friday, 1 March, as a "gesture of peace." [...] Hours before the expected release of the IAF pilot, multiple videos claiming that Wing Commander Abhinandan was dancing with Pakistan Army personnel were circulated widely. [...] After assessing the video, it is evident that Wing Commander Abhinandan is not among the men shown dancing in the video. The visuals are falsely attributed to the IAF pilot.

Evidence (2019-08-08): Pakistan has returned an Indian pilot who had become the face of the worst military crisis between the two countries in decades, in a gesture aimed at demonstrating its willingness to de-escalate the conflict. [...] The pilot’s homecoming sparked jubilation in India. Large crowds gathered near the border post cheering, dancing and waving Indian flags in scenes broadcast live on major TV news channels, who counted down the hours to Varthaman’s return throughout the afternoon and evening. A Bollywood filmmaker has already applied to copyright the movie title Abhinandan. [...] Pakistan appeared to seize on Varthaman’s potential to be a circuit breaker in the conflict by the evening, releasing a video showing the detainee drinking chai, saying he was being treated well and lauding his captors as "thorough gentlemen". "The tea is fantastic," he added.

Evidence (2019-03-02): Pakistani officials brought a captured Indian pilot to a border crossing with India for handover on Friday, a "gesture of peace" promised by Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan amid a dramatic escalation with the country’s archrival over the disputed region of Kashmir. The pilot, identified as Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman, was taken in a convoy that set out from the eastern Pakistani city of Lahore to the border crossing at Wagah earlier in the day, escorted by military vehicles with soldiers, their weapons drawn. [...] Tensions have been running high since Indian aircraft crossed into Pakistan on Tuesday carrying out what India called a pre-emptive strike against militants blamed for a February 14 suicide bombing in Indian-controlled Kashmir that killed 40 Indian troops. Pakistan retaliated, shooting down two Indian aircraft Wednesday and capturing the pilot.

Evidence (2019-02-15): The shared services market is growing quickly. US and European firms are either expanding their existing shared service centers (also referred to as "Global in-house Centers" (GICs)) or building new centers. Let’s look at what’s happening and the factors that are driving the growth. [...] Another dimension accelerates and compounds the impact of the DIY movement: the shift into the new digital model. Our market research at Everest Group reveals that almost half of new shared service centers set up since 2014 support some component of digital services. In 2013-2014, digital was a component in fewer than 25% of shared service centers. [...] Adding all this together, we see a growing movement toward the growth of the size of existing shared service centers and the number of new centers established. Ironically, while the movement leads some firms to shift work away from third-party service providers to their own GICs, it also creates a new temporary market for service providers.

Evidence (2019-09-18): The number of clinic facilities increased by 16% in the Northeast and by 4% in the West. Four of the nine states in the Northeast had an increase in clinic facilities, as did five of 13 in the West. Despite this overall increase, a few states in each of these regions also saw a decline in the number of clinic facilities between 2014 and 2017. [...] All 10 states that had a meaningful increase in clinic numbers also showed declines in their abortion rates. Most of the new facilities, or facilities that had not previously provided abortions in these states, were nonspecialized clinics, suggesting that the concurrent expansion of abortion care and decrease in abortion rates was taking place in the context of an increase in comprehensive health care. [...] At the same time, it is also possible that some of the increase can be attributed to early medication abortion’s being the only option available to patients in some areas.

Evidence (2024-06-13): Fact 1: Recovery in the demand for services has lagged behind recent business cycles. [...] Pandemic-related health risks significantly dampened demand for face-to-face services, leading to a more than 20 percent decline in real services spending by April 2020. Since early 2021, real spending on services has slowly recovered, and as of July 2022 is above its pre-pandemic level. However, it remains roughly 3 percent below its pre-existing trend; moreover because of the surge in goods spending, the share of total spending on services is 4 percentage points below its average in the decade before the pandemic.

Evidence (2023-02-28): The cover of TIME has often been called the most important real estate in journalism—making some of the world’s best photographers and artists its architects.

In 1965 and 1976, respectively, Marc Chagall and Robert Rauschenberg produced self-portraits to accompany cover stories about their work. Buy a print of the TIME 100th Anniversary Centennial cover here [...] In 1978, the magazine donated 800 works of original cover art to the National Portrait Gallery, which has preserved and digitized that history. The collection now includes more than 2,000 pieces. These covers are noteworthy on their merits, but several among them turned out not simply to record news, but also to make it. TIME covers have affected government policy and individual actions, challenged public opinion, and launched careers.
