 Population Censuses and Surveys (OPCS) in 1974, as a social survey officer in the Survey Division, where she stayed for 15 years, working on, among other things, two major surveys. One of these was the UK's contribution to the World Fertility Survey, published as a book, Family Formation (1976). This measured cohabitation for the first time and first asked the question, now a standard, "At what age did you first have sexual intercourse?" The other studied the work of community nurses, using an intensive survey combined with diary-keeping. She was promoted to Assistant Director, overseeing all health surveys in the OPCS. These included surveys on drinking and smoking and a major survey on disability that established what proportion of people in different age groups had different disabilities. She was responsible, in this post, for liaising with the Department of Health.In 1990, she moved from working with health surveys in the OPCS to medical statistics. When OPCS merged with the Central Statistical Office to form the ONS in 1996, she became Director of Demography and Health Statistics, working on general practice statistics and inequalities in health, and established the Health Statistics Quarterly journal. In 1999, she moved to a central post responsible for launching National Statistics and dealing with the arrival of Len Cook, the first National Statistician, in 2000. She was promoted to Group Director in Social Statistics in 2000, managing health, demography, population, labour market and social reporting and was temporarily promoted to the Board of the ONS in 2001 in the run-up to the 2001 census. A major reorganisation, which divided the activities of ONS into 'sources' and 'analysis', followed and <mask> was given the job of setting up the new "Sources" Directorate, bringing together household and business surveys, the infrastructure that supported them, the statistical modernisation programme and planning for the 2011 Census. She took up this post on the ONS Executive in 2002. National Statistician

 criticised for the quality, credibility and uses to which it put the statistics generated both by ONS and by governments departments.Soon afterwards, Gordon Brown, then Chancellor of the Exchequer, announced that, following the success of the idea of independence for the Monetary Policy Committee of the Bank of England as a means of gaining trust in its interest-rate decisions, a form of independence should be applied to ONS so that its data could also gain public trust. ONS is now accountable to Parliament via a Statistics Board, known as the UK Statistics Authority (UKSA), rather than, as previously, via a Treasury minister. Following the implementation of the Statistics and Registration Service Act 2007, the role of Registrar-General for England and Wales, an ancient additional title, held by the National Statistician since the inception of ONS, was transferred, with the General Register Office for England and Wales, which she also headed, to the Identification and Passport Service in the Home Office

Controversy
A government policy inherited by <mask> as National Statistician aroused controversy. Following the efficiency reviews initiated by the Chancellor and Prime Minister (viz. Review of Public Sector Relocation by Sir Michael Lyons, 2003–04, and Releasing Resources to the Front Line, Sir Peter Gershon, 2004), the government adopted a policy, criticised by unions, of dispersal of certain public service posts and functions out of London. The policy was initially applied to ONS during Len Cook's tenure as National Statistician but after <mask> succeeded to the post, ONS accelerated the policy of relocating the Office for National Statistics away from London and concentrating staff in its offices in Titchfield, near Southampton, and in Newport, South Wales, to which the ONS headquarters has moved. The announcement, in January 2007, of the almost complete closure of the ONS's London offices by 2010 reversed a decision to retain a sizeable office in the capital.This relocation policy, together with substantial expenditure cutbacks in recent government spending settlements, resulted in disquiet among London-based staff whose representatives reported morale problems

 and a high staff turnover rate among staff still in London. To set against the risks to data quality of any loss of expertise, especially among London-based staff who were unwilling to move, including analysts in National Accounts and in health statistics, Ms. <mask> defended ONS implementation of government policy on civil service relocation. In the face of some Bank of England disquiet, reported in 2007 to the Treasury Select Committee, about risks to economic data quality, combined with opposition from London staff (including a lack of confidence in management expressed in a staff survey highlighted by staff unions), she asserted that the ONS Board had agreed a process of managed and gradual change to take account of these risks, building up expertise in Newport before shifting functions there. She also cited the benefits to the local economy, the skills of existing ONS staff in Newport and access to universities and other resources in the region as well as the benefits of operating key functions from a single location. Other roles
Outside the OPCS, <mask> has been a member of the British Sociology Association and was on the committee of its BSA Medical Sociology Group. She later chaired the Society for Social Medicine. She is a Fellow of the Royal Statistical Society, is a visiting professor at the London School of Hygiene.She has been elected to a second term as a Visiting Fellow at Nuffield College, Oxford. <mask> was awarded an Honorary Doctorate degree by Middlesex University in July 2008, was appointed an Honorary Fellow of Cardiff University in July 2009 and was appointed Dame Commander of the Order of the Bath (DCB) in the Queen's Birthday Honours List in June 2009.

texts: between transit agencies in the Puget Sound region in order to provide better service, improve efficiency, save money, and institute accountability measures.As Vice Chair of the Transportation Committee, <mask> was one of the legislative leaders involved in negotiating the 2015 Connect Washington transportation package. This spending bill funds hundreds of projects across Washington over a 16-year period, including overhauling State Route 520 and improving I-405, while also authorizing the Sound Transit 3 ballot measure for expansions to light rail, bus, and commuter rail in the Puget Sound region. The $16.1 billion package was funded by an 11.9-cent per gallon gasoline tax increase and by authorizing state bonds. The bill included money for pedestrian and bike infrastructure, such as the Northgate Pedestrian Bridge and the Burke-Gilman Trail. The transportation package also supported affordable housing and education in the Puget Sound region. It required Sound Transit to contribute $20 million over five years to affordable housing and to give affordable housing developers the opportunity to bid on at least 80% of its surplus property. In addition, when Republicans earmarked $518 million in sales taxes from Sound Transit to go into the general fund, <mask> forced through an amendment that will require that money to be spent on educational programs for vulnerable students in the Sound Transit region.In 2017, in response to a controversy over the valuation schedule used by Sound Transit to determine the amount of Motor Vehicle Excise Tax (MVET), the House Democratic caucus voted to direct Sound Transit to use a newer valuation schedule that more accurately reflects cars' resale value and decreases taxes on many car owners in the Sound Transit area. <mask> supported this change, writing: "there's no way I'm asking my constituents to pay an MVET that's undergirded by an out of whack valuation schedule.

<mask> (born 24 September 1986) is a New Zealand cricketer who plays for the New Zealand national cricket team. <mask> began his cricket career as an opening batsman, representing New Zealand in the 2006 Under-19 Cricket World Cup, but over time playing first-class cricket for Canterbury, he morphed into a bowling all-rounder. He made his Test cricket debut for New Zealand in 2012 in Sri Lanka, but did not play another international match until 2015. He has since represented New Zealand in all three forms of the game, but he hasn't been able to keep a consistent place in the team in any format because of regular injury problems and competition with other spin bowlers. In January 2020, <mask> announced his retirement from first-class cricket to focus on limited-overs cricket. Early life and career
<mask> was born in Palmerston North in New Zealand in 1986, the son of first-class cricketer <mask>, who played three top-level cricket matches for Central Districts in the 1970s. <mask> began his cricket career as an opening batsman, but over time morphed into an all-rounder with his leg spin bowling.<mask> opened the batting for the New Zealand under-19s in the 2006 Under-19 Cricket World Cup and did not bowl a ball. He finished the cup as the third-highest run-scorer, only behind future Test cricketers Cheteshwar Pujara from India and Eoin Morgan from Ireland. <mask> made his debut for state side Cantebury in the first-class Plunket Shield in December 2005, and for the next four years played primarily as an opening batsman. <mask> was an overseas professional for Aberdeenshire C.C. for the 2008 and 2009 seasons, starring with bat and ball. The club had a historic season in 2009, winning the SNCL Premier League and the Scottish Cup. <mask> failed to make his mark for Canterbury as a batsman and wasn't able to stay in the team consistently.The turning point of

 his career came in March 2010. He wasn't even selected to play for Canterbury in a Plunket Shield match against Otago, but when Canterbury fast bowler Chris Martin was called up to the national team he had to leave the match after two days and <mask> was brought into the team to replace him. In the final innings, <mask> took his first five-wicket haul in a first-class match to help Canterbury win the match by 158 runs. In the following 2010–11 season, <mask> took 37 wickets at an average of 29.08, both becoming Canterbury's best bowler and winning the championship. He followed this up with another strong season in 2011–12, taking a further 31 wickets. In October 2019, during the Plunket Shield match against Wellington, <mask> became the first bowler for Canterbury to take 300 first-class wickets. In June 2020, he was offered a contract by Canterbury ahead of the 2020–21 domestic cricket season.International career

Test debut
<mask> was first included in the New Zealand national cricket team's squad in 2012 when he was named as New Zealand's second spinner for their tour of Sri Lanka in 2012. He made his Test debut for the Blackcaps against Sri Lanka on 25 November 2012. He scored 35 runs in the second innings in a key partnership with Ross Taylor of 107. He took his first wicket also in the second innings by removing Prasanna Jayawardene. Rather than this debut being the start of a long career for <mask>, he didn't play another Test for years and was just one of a number of spinners to go through the New Zealand Test team during an injury to Daniel Vettori. Return to international cricket
For the next three years, <mask> did not return to New Zealand's national team in any form of the game. In 2015 he was selected to play for New Zealand A, and in a first-class match against Sri Lanka A took just the second ten-wicket haul of his first-class career.He

 took four wickets in the first innings and seven wickets in the second innings to finish with eleven for the match. This performance and a successful 2015–16 Ford Trophy put him back into the selection frame for the national team, and in January 2016 he was named in New Zealand's squad for a series of Twenty20 Internationals against Pakistan. He made his Twenty20 International debut on 15 January 2016, and played in the first two matches of the three-match series. He didn't take any wickets and conceded 41 runs from 4 overs across the two matches, so ahead of the final match he was released from the national squad and returned to playing for Canterbury. <mask> became one of the best players in New Zealand's domestic cricket competitions, both in limited overs cricket and in the Plunket Shield, which gave him opportunities to play more international cricket matches for New Zealand. He returned to the national squad in the 2016–17 summer to replace the injured Mitchell Santner. He was the only specialist spin bowler named to play in a two-Test series against Pakistan.His selection received praise from Pakistan's coach, Mickey Arthur, who said that <mask> was an "interesting choice" and an "attacking spinner". <mask> played in the first Test of the series, the second of his career, but didn't score any runs and only bowled four overs. He was then included in New Zealand's squad for the 2016–17 Chappell-Hadlee Trophy, but he did not play a game in the series. 2017–2019, Injury woes
<mask> was part of a New Zealand A squad for a tour of India in 2017, and he was the team's best bowler. In a one-day match against India A, he took bowling figures of 4/22, which former Indian Test batsman Rahul Dravid called one of the best leg spin spells he'd seen in Indian conditions. In October 2017, <mask> was named in New Zealand's One Day International (ODI) squad for

He was ruled out due to his injury and pulled from the squad.<mask> returned home, and once fit again he played his 100th first-class match for Canterbury and was able to re-join the New Zealand ODI squad against the West Indies. He finally made his ODI debut for New Zealand on 20 December 2017. His first ODI series was a successful one: on debut he took 3 wickets for 33, using his wrong 'un well and rarely bowling a poor ball, then in the 2nd ODI he scored 49 runs as part of a 130-run partnership with Henry Nicholls, New Zealand's highest ever sixth-wicket partnership against the West Indies. In March 2018, he was named in New Zealand's Test squad for their series against England, replacing Mitchell Santner, who was ruled out due to injury, and in a day-night Test match in Auckland he took three wickets in the second innings, leading New Zealand to victory. Unfortunately he also suffered a side strain during the match, denying him the chance to play in the next Test match at his home ground Hagley Oval. Regardless, his form in both ODIs and Test matches was enough to give him a contract for the 2018–19 season with New Zealand Cricket, his first central contract after 12 years of first-class cricket. <mask> was one of three spinners, along with Ajaz Patel and Ish Sodhi, named in New Zealand's squad for a series against Pakistan, and ahead of the series he played tour matches in the United Arab Emirates for New Zealand A to prepare and fight for a spot in the team.After he played well for New Zealand A he took a few days off to recover from kneecap irritation.

Because of his strong form and Ish Sodhi's struggles, he appeared to be New Zealand's favoured second spinner for the 2019 Cricket World Cup alongside Mitchell Santner, but when New Zealand announced their squad in April 2019 they selected Sodhi rather than <mask> because Sodhi had more international experience. Following the World Cup, <mask> was among four spin bowlers chosen to play for New Zealand in their Test series in Sri Lanka, where he'd made his Test debut seven years earlier. 2020–present

<mask> (23 September 1898 – 15 May 1975) was a  naval aviator who reached the rank of rear admiral in the United States Navy, being one of the "mustang" officers who rose from enlisted man to admiral's rank. He is most noted as commanding officer of the aircraft carrier USS Franklin, which was badly damaged by a Japanese air attack in March 1945, where his leadership tenure has been seen as a "a cautionary tale about the scourge of 'toxic leadership.'" Early military career

<mask> was born on 23 September 1898, as a son of Charles Peter and <mask>. He attended Western High School in Rochester, New York, and Union High School in Newark, New York, before he enlisted with the help of his mother in the New York Naval Militia in 1914. He was assigned to the 6th Division, Third Battalion. With the entry of the United States into World War I his unit was mobilized on 6 April 1917 and he served on the cruiser USS Salem and on battleships USS Massachusetts and USS Indiana, where he received further naval training. <mask> was then assigned to the Fourth Reserve Officers Class at United States Naval Academy at Annapolis, Maryland.Upon completion of the course, he was commissioned ensign in the United States Naval Reserve on 24 May 1918. He was transferred to the Regular Navy in September 1918, where he served aboard the battleship USS North Dakota, which operated on escort duty with Atlantic Fleet. He stayed aboard this ship until June 1919, when he was transferred to destroyers. Interwar period

For the next five years, <mask> served aboard destroyers USS Tingey, USS Gillis, USS Aulick and USS Jacob Jones.

<mask> took a step down in rank to command an aircraft carrier, supposedly as he desired a shot against Imperial Japan. On 7 November 1944, <mask> took command of the , relieving Captain J. M. Shoemaker at the change of command ceremony, where Gehres also criticized the crew for failing to shoot down the kamikaze that had damaged their ship. <mask> was a strict disciplinarian whose autocracy was disliked by many of Franklin's crew, and some even consider his leadership as "toxic". In 1945, Franklin made airstrikes on the Japanese homeland in support of the Okinawa landings, later launching sweeps and strikes against Kagoshima and Izumi on southern Kyūshū.Before dawn on 19 March 1945, Franklin, which had maneuvered to within  of the Japanese mainland, closer than any other U.S. carrier during the war, launched a fighter sweep against Honshū and later a strike against shipping in Kobe Harbor. After being called to battle stations twelve times within six hours that night, <mask> downgraded the alert status to Condition III, allowing his men freedom to eat or sleep, although gunnery crews remained at their stations. In those days, radar was not entirely reliable or capable of sensing planes in clouds and this caused problems on this occasion, with short-term blips appearing on screen, then disappearing again. Despite receiving a last-minute warning of a "bogey" from USS Hancock, <mask> never ordered Franklin to general quarters, possibly for this reason. This "bogey" turned out to be a single Japanese aircraft that pierced the cloud cover and made a low-level run on the ship to drop two semi-armor-piercing bombs. The resulting fire and explosions killed 807 and wounded more

Franklin had suffered the most severe damage and highest casualties experienced by any U.S. fleet carrier that survived World War II.<mask>, along with ten of his officers and a single enlisted man from the Franklin'''s crew and air group, were subsequently awarded the Navy Cross for heroism in coping with Franklin's battle damage and keeping the ship afloat. However, many members of the crew did outstanding work in carrying out actions, of their own volition, which played a major part in saving lives and enabling the survival of the vessel. Joseph T. O'Callahan, a Jesuit priest and Navy chaplain on the USS Franklin, was also offered the Navy Cross for his actions during the attack but turned it down. Speculation at the time was that O'Callahan was offered the Navy Cross in lieu of the Medal of Honor since his heroic actions on the USS Franklin highlighted perceived lapses in leadership by <mask>, which reflected poorly on the Navy. President Harry Truman intervened after the resulting public outcry and the Medal of Honor was awarded to O'Callahan on January 23, 1946. Upon Franklins arrival in New York, a long-brewing controversy over the ship's crew's conduct during her struggles finally came to a head. Captain <mask> had accused many of those who had left the ship on 19 March 1945 of desertion, despite the fact that those who had jumped into the water to escape had done so to prevent a likely death by fire, or had been led to believe that "abandon ship" had been ordered.While en route from Ulithi Atoll to Hawaii, <mask> had proclaimed 704 members of the crew to be members of the "Big Ben 704 Club" for having stayed with the heavily damaged warship, but investigators in New York discovered that only about 400 were actually onboard Franklin'' continuously. The others had been brought back on board either before or during the stop at Ulithi. All of the charges against the men of her crew

 were quietly dropped. Captain <mask> retired as a rear admiral, never taking an overseas assignment or command of another US Navy ship again. According to the 2011 documentary USS Franklin: Honor Restored, <mask> was universally excoriated for his leadership deficiencies and his tendency to blame his crew for the near loss of his ship. Several men, including wounded, who had been blown off the ship by its huge explosions were later refused re-entry onto the ship. <mask> threatened to court martial men who had been blown overboard, because they had not been given the order to abandon ship.Gehres actions during this time lead him to be described as "a cautionary tale about the scourge of 'toxic leadership.'" Postwar
Following the end of World War II, <mask> was promoted to the rank of Rear Admiral. He retired from the Navy in 1948 after 32 years of service and went into business with Ryan Aeronautical Company, now a division of Northrop Grumman, in San Diego, California. He later became general manager of the National Marine Terminal Company. In 1950, with Robert C. Wilson as his campaign manager, <mask> ran for Congress from San Diego and lost. Two years later, they switched roles and won. <mask> was chairman of the San Diego County Republican Central Committee for 12 years, organizing support for former Governor (later President) Ronald Reagan, former Senator George Murphy and former Presidents Dwight D<mask> and Richard M.

Biography

<mask> was born in a small village named Rappal, in Thrissur district, then in the Kingdom of Cochin and now in the South Indian state of Kerala on 22 September 1911. He did his early schooling at local schools and, securing a scholarship, joined St. Joseph's College, Tiruchirappalli from where he completed his bachelor's degree with honours (BA Hons.)and a first rank in 1933. He subsequently joined the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore as a research student under the physics Nobel laureate Sir C. V<mask>. For his research, he received a doctorate from the  University of Madras (DSc) in 1938, as the IISc did not then confer doctoral degrees. In 1938, he became a researcher at Cavendish Laboratory of Cambridge University under Sir John Cockcroft. His researches at Cambridge is reported to have assisted in the development of the 37’ Cyclotron and to the observation of deuteron-induced fission in uranium and thorium. The University awarded him PhD, in 1941, for his research work. He conducted his thesis research under

Working further on the Raman Effect, Krishnan discovered the reciprocity relations between the intensity of the horizontally polarised incident light getting scattered with horizontal polarization irrespective of the colloidal particles.This is known as Krishnan (reciprocity) Effect and the article was published in IISc journal on recommendation from C. V<mask> in 1936. He is credited with researches on Second Order Raman Spectra in diamond and in alkali halide crystals and is reported to have successfully recorded the phenomena for the first time, using the ultraviolet (mercury 2536 Å) technique of excitation for Raman spectroscopy, a technique he developed, on which he

She started playing netball in Victor Harbor and continued when her family moved to Adelaide when she was ten years old. At the age of 15, <mask> made her debut in South Australia's state netball league and in the same year she represented South Australia at the Australian National Netball Championships.

 not overlap. <mask> immediately had success in the NTFL. In her first four seasons, she was both the league's leading goalkicker and a premiership player with Waratah, becoming one of the highest-profile female footballers in the Northern Territory. In 2014, <mask> became the first woman to kick 100 goals in a season in an established women's football league, kicking 105 goals across 15 games in the 2013–14 NTFL season. She kicked seven or more goals in a single match on nine occasions and kicked ten or more thrice, including kicking 16 goals and five behinds in a match against Tracy Village. As a result of her achievement, she was mentioned by name in Federal Parliament. <mask>' success in the NTFL led to her being selected to play in various exhibition matches.She played in a West End Slowdown, sharing player-of-the-match honours with Adelaide legend Andrew McLeod and played in two E. J. Whitten Legends Games. Despite this, she was consistently overlooked by the Melbourne Football Club and the Western Bulldogs, who played annual exhibition matches. After missing out on the 2014 match, she asked then-Melbourne coach Michelle Cowan what she needed to do to improve her game and she was told that her game was too one-dimensional. Rather than staying at full-forward she needed to be able to help her team further up the field, so she started to work on this. During the 2016 NTFL Grand Final, in which <mask> won her fourth consecutive premiership, she suffered torn rib cartilage. The nature of the injury meant there was no rehabilitation beyond just resting and waiting for it to heal. In 2016, she played two exhibition matches representing the Northern Territory, but in both matches she re-tore the cartilage.She was meant to play for the St Kilda Sharks in the Victorian Women's Football League in the 2016 season, but the recurring injury meant she was unable to do anything beyond train. Instead, <mask> started to work for the Seven Network as the boundary rider for their coverage of the Victorian Football League. At the end of the year she also presented the Goal of the Year award to Adelaide player Eddie Betts. AFLW career (2017–2018)

Local villagers said <mask> could be identified as an Indian pilot by the Indian flag on his parachute.Upon landing, <mask> asked the villagers whether he was in India, to which a young boy lied by saying "Yes." <mask> reportedly raised pro-India slogans, to which the locals responded with pro-Pakistan slogans. <mask> began firing warning shots. The villagers captured and manhandled <mask> before he was rescued by the Pakistan Army. Later that day, the Indian Ministry of External Affairs confirmed an Indian pilot was missing in action after a MiG-21 Bison fighter aircraft was lost while engaging with Pakistani jets. A statement released by the IAF also said before the crash, <mask> had shot down a PAF Lockheed Martin F-16. At a media briefing on 2 March 2019, nearly two days after the aerial engagement between PAF and IAF, the IAF displayed the parts of AIM-120 AMRAAM missiles, which could be used only by the PAF's F-16.The IAF also said they had identified the electronic signatures of the aircraft and confirmed that F-16 were used during the skirmish. As claimed by Indian media, according to an agreement between the U.S. and Pakistan, Pakistan is only allowed to use the F-16 against terrorists. However, Foreign Policy magazine quoting an anonymous U.S. official stated that the agreement did not involve any such terms "limiting the use of the F-16s."

 General refuted the later claims and said F-16s had not been used in the incident. The US-based Foreign Policy magazine, quoting two anonymous U.S. Defense Department officials, reported in April 2019 that an audit didn't find any Pakistani F-16s missing, and that all jets were accounted for. U.S. officials also refused to confirm whether Pakistan had used F-16s in the conflict, citing it as a bilateral matter between the U.S. and Pakistan. Videos
Videos and images released by Pakistani authorities showed <mask> being rescued from a violent mob by Pakistani soldiers and being interrogated while tied and blindfolded with a bloody face.Other videos showed him receiving first aid and being further interrogated over tea. The media received a mixed reception; some commentators criticised the reports as a "vulgar display" while others praised the intervention of the Pakistani soldiers when <mask> was in the hands of the mob and was being beaten. The release of the videos was suspected of being a violation of the Geneva Conventions and were deleted by Pakistani authorities after they went viral. Experts gave different opinions about the validity of the Geneva Convention to this case. Repatriation and subsequent developments

On 28 February 2019, Prime Minister of Pakistan Imran Khan announced at a joint sitting of the Parliament of Pakistan, that the government had decided to release <mask> the next day as a "gesture of peace". Shah Mehmood Qureshi, the Foreign Minister of Pakistan, said his government announced the release of the IAF Wing Commander out of a desire for peace and that there was no compulsion or pressure on Pakistan, as was implied by the Indian media. However, The New York Times reported that several outside countries

At a political rally, the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi welcomed <mask>'s release, saying the nation was proud of him. Hours before his releiase, a new video showing <mask> praising the Pakistani army while criticizing the Indian media was released to the Pakistani media. IAF later said it had been filmed while <mask> was under duress. A medical check-up upon his return located multiple bruises and a fractured rib but no 'significant injuries'. <mask> said the Pakistani authorities did not physically torture him but subjected him to considerable "mental harassment".Pakistan said he was treated in accordance with the Geneva Conventions. Akhil Bharatiya Digambar Jain Mahasamiti chairperson Manidra Jain announced <mask> would be awarded the Bhagwan Mahavir Ahimsa Puraskar on 17 April 2019, the date of Mahavir Jayanti. In August that same year, he was presented with the Vir Chakra gallantry award. After the government's decision to release <mask> was announced, a petition was filed before the Islamabad High Court (IHC) seeking an injunction to stop the process but the court dismissed it on the same day. The petition argued <mask> must be released only after the cessation of

In addition the IHC Chief Justice Minallah also stated that the courts do not have the power to intervene in foreign affairs, according to a Supreme Court verdict in 2014. Aftermath

<mask>'s style of moustache has become popular in India and is widely called the "Abhinandan cut".The style is similar to a combination of old gunslinger moustache and mutton chops worn by Franz Joseph I of Austria. It resembles the moustache worn by actor Suriya in the Singam film series and Rajinikanth's moustache in Petta (2019). Indian actor Ranveer Singh's barber, Darshan Yewalekar, has quoted saying that "the beard sported by the IAF pilot will soon be called India's very own Varthaman style." A number of companies used the moustache in their advertisements. Dairy company Amul produced a video showing a young girl wearing an Abhinandan-shaped milk moustache. The advertisement was posted on Twitter and received more than 170,000 views within 24 hours. Pizza Hut also posted a tweet showing the Abhinandan moustache on 3 March 2019.Awards and Decorations
