From a little infobox at tvbrics.com (which is not a required visit).
Pic of Sergey Lavrov Minister of Foreign Affairs of Russia Quote: "We can boast impressive results and, arguably, have even more favourable prospects in energy, industry, agriculture. [...] We closely cooperate on the international stage, including within the UN, BRICS, the SCO, and the G20. Without a doubt, our interaction contributes to strengthening regional and global stability and enhancing the effectiveness of these groups and organisations" Text copied from https://tvbrics.com/en/news/iran-and-indonesia-expand-cooperation-in-higher-education-research-and-cultural-exchange/

A black and white head-and-shoulders comic drawing of a hard-boiled and hatted private eye lighting up a smoke in the dark, as his shadow is cast on a brick wall behind him. His name, according to a rectangular box, is Peter Scratch.

Google Translate in a capricious moment a long time ago translates آلاله as "Good luck" and offers the fairly musical follow-up definition of "Buttercup" It no longer does this.

A local vape shop has solved the problem by selling exotic treats to the stoners, cereal included. That was where I saw these.
Tubes of “Toxic Waste Slime Licker Squeeze Sour Candy”. The tubes are anti-toothpaste.

Just for fun I looked up my OTO BAM and it turns out there was a firmware update. A year ago. This is some shakycam fooling with the "new" Bloop algorithm, a blooming thing. Sounds good! (There's also a simulated spring.)

(AP Photo/Michael Gruber, File) TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran’s foreign ministry called a resolution by the U.N. atomic watchdog’s board of governors “anti-Iranian” and threatened unspecified retaliatory actions, state media reported on Friday. The International Atomic Energy Agency on Thursday demanded that Iran fully cooperate with the agency and provide “precise information” about its stockpile of near weapons-grade uranium, as well as grant its inspectors access to Iranian nuclear sites.

Obviously this is the intention, but the administration is full of idiots and I don't see them getting this job done properly. I redact a lot of documents and there are all sorts of little things to miss. Actual reporters will have fun connecting dots.

One of the sayings in France, where grades are on a 20 point scale in a lot of cases, is “19 is for the king, 20 is for God.” They grade low. The Iron Chef visit to France probably brought some inadvertent baggage in the form of its 20 point ratings.

The "11" factors to the QS Asia university rankings on the left, which contrasts with the overall ranking methodology on the right.

www.topuniversities.com/asia-ranking...
The 11 indicators used to compile the QS Asia University Rankings are as follows: Academic reputation (30%) This is assessed using data from the large global survey of academics conducted by QS each year. The results of this survey, which asks academics to identify the leading universities in their own subject area, also feed into other rankings and reports produced by QS, including the QS World University Rankings and the QS World University Rankings by Subject. The aim is to give an indication of which universities hold the strongest reputation within the international academic community. Employer reputation (20%) This is again assessed using the results of a major international survey, this time of graduate employers, who are asked to identify the universities they perceive as producing the highest-quality graduates. The results of this survey are used to inform a number of other QS research projects, reflecting the importance of employability and employment prospects for today’s university applicants and graduates. Faculty/student ratio (10%) This indicator assesses the ratio of full-time academic staff members employed per student enrolled. The aim is to give an idea of how much contact time and academic support students at the institution may expect to receive. International research network (10%) Using data provided by Scopus, this indicator assesses the degree of international openness in terms of research collaboration for each evaluated institution. To calculate this indicator the Margalef Index, widely used in the environmental sciences, has been adapted to produce a score that gives an indication of the diversity of an institution’s research collaborations with other institutions in different locations of the world. Citations per paper (10%) and papers per faculty (5%) Staff with a PhD (5%) Lens Weighting Indicator Weighting Research and Discovery 50% Academic Reputation 30% Citations per Faculty 20% Employability and Outcomes 20% Employer Reputation 15% Employment Outcomes 5% Learning Experience 10% Faculty Student Ratio 10% Global Engagement 15% International Faculty Ratio 5% International Research Network 5% International Student Diversity 0% International Student Ratio 5% Sustainability 5% Sustainability 5%

Northern Cyprus is administered by Turkiye and is kind of an educational wild west devoted to student churn, which in this case became diploma churn.
Cyprus Today Long prison sen­tences for ‘fake dip­loma’ pair 15 Nov 2025 Pic: Ser­dal Gündüz and Amir Shakeri­fard being led away from court TWO men have been sen­tenced to a total of 21 years in prison for their roles in for­ging uni­versity degrees and other doc­u­ments. A panel of three judges at the Lefkoşa Assize Court sen­tenced Ser­dal Gündüz, sec­ret­ary gen­eral and share­holder of the Cyprus Health and Social Sci­ences Uni­versity (KSTU) in Güzelyurt, to 15 years in prison, and Amir Shakeri­fard, head of the uni­versity’s inter­na­tional office, to six years, fol­low­ing their con­vic­tion in the KSTU invest­ig­a­tion. Judge Füsun Cemal­ler, announ­cing the ver­dict on behalf of the court on Thursday last week, said that “deterrent pun­ish­ment for crimes that dis­turb pub­lic peace is in the pub­lic interest” and that the judi­ciary does not take such crimes lightly. “Our coun­try has been deeply wounded by these crimes,” she said. She noted that Gündüz had repeatedly com­mit­ted fraud over a two-year period, stress­ing that his crimes were “pre­med­it­ated” rather than “impuls­ive”. Cemal­ler said Gündüz had “arranged a false teach­ing com­mence­ment per­mit, spent the uni­versity’s funds arbit­rar­ily, and made a habit of for­ging doc­u­ments and offi­cial papers,” also for­ging and cir­cu­lat­ing a uni­versity dip­loma. Cemal­ler fur­ther stated that Shakeri­fard had obtained a fake dentistry degree by arran­ging for fals­i­fied course records, warn­ing that “being a dent­ist with a fake dip­loma could cause very ser­i­ous harm to human health”. Emphas­ising that such offences have cre­ated a neg­at­ive per­cep­tion of all uni­versit­ies in the TRNC, Cemal­ler said there has been a sharp rise in fraud-related crimes. “In cer­tain crimes, the prin­ciple of pub­lic interest takes pre­ced­ence over the rehab­il­it­a­tion of the defend­ant,” she said, adding that effect­ive pun­ish­ment is neces­sary to pro­tect soci­ety.
