The Scholarship Race: Why Do Pakistani Students Want to Study Abroad?

Is it the search for better educational opportunities and a brighter future, or the lack of opportunities in Pak?
In the context of the alleged admission fraud involving Laiba Ejaz, we speak to students about their reasons for wanting to study abroad and a foreign education consultant about scholarships, admissions, and overseas education

He discusses how Lahore can be transformed into a modern city through better governance, efficient management and optimal utilization of its existing resources

Will US be more supportive to Ukarine after the elections? Perhaps, because to Trump, Ukarine isn't important, but to Democrats it is. So he can make a deal!
Larger question is will Russia throw Iran under the bus. I THINK THEY WILL, if need be. Why?
Russians know Democrats ve not won the mid-terms only, but will ve their own president in 2 years. A closer coop b/w US & Europe isn't good for Russia. So Ukarine deal is Russia's need, though a bit lesser than the Ukarine

Important - IMEC 2.0:
The more consequential strategic possibility is shifting IMEC's Gulf maritime gateway from Jebel Ali in Dubai to Oman's Sultan Qaboos Port or, more practically, the deep-water Port of Sohar
A railway linking all 6 Gulf countries could be one step closer to reality, with a landmark agreement set to be signed on Nov 8
8 Nov agreement, if signed, could lay the foundation for an Oman-based eastern gateway to IMEC, potentially reducing Jebel Ali's centrality

Polio spreads primarily through human faecal contamination of water, food & hands, aggravated by poor sanitation & inadequate sewage disposal
Vaccination prevents paralysis & helps interrupt transmission, but sanitation remains equally important
Despite substantial funding from Bill Gates, Pak’s emphasis remains on vaccination. NIH detects poliovirus in sewage, yet responsibility for eliminating environmental contamination remains fragmented
The important policy question is whether Pak is sufficiently integrating genomic surveillance, sewage monitoring and targeted public-health interventions, rather than relying predominantly on vaccination campaigns

Hmm... Losing elecs is one thing, losing a war is quite another. Will Trump be ok to appear loser twice? Nope!
Options: 1) Strike, 2) Negotiate, and 3) Strangle
Assumptions: 1) he has said would end the war, 2) he has accepted that Iran war has affected mid-term results adversely for him, and 3) he has said no nukes for Iran
Assessment:
Pol redemption of Republicans is only possible if they settle Iran issue as per their promises. Trump has nothing to lose now. He has two months, and even beyond. This suits Netanyahu too. We should not forget there r a lot of "neocons" in or with Democrats too
So, Trump will start with negotiations and find reason to go after Iran. Ukarine negotiation provides Trump something to bargain with Democrats. He will give time to negotiations with Iran until he gets sense from Russia

Several US mil cargo aircraft departing from Fort Bliss were tracked arriving at bases in Israel, according to flight-tracking data from FlightRadar24. Fort Bliss, located in El Paso, Texas, serves as a major US Army center for air and missile defense command, training, and operations
Also, USS Theodore Roosevelt aircraft carrier and its strike group were tracked near Strait of Malacca in Asia. This means that the carrier is expected to reach US CENTCOM area of responsibility by next week, potentially bringing the number of US aircraft carriers in the ME to 3

Our assessment is the larger apparent beneficiary of the Ohio–Alaska spoiler operations is the Democratic Party, not Trump

Republicans hold 53 Senate seats against Democrats’ 47; Democrats need four gains for control
Ohio: Republican Jon Husted faces Democrat Sherrod Brown. Spoilers: Libertarian Bill Redpath ($3.84m) threatens Husted; leftist Greg Levy ($2.6m) threatens Brown
Alaska: Republican Dan Sullivan faces Democrat Mary Peltola. Spoilers Gerald Heikes ($3.75m) and namesake Dan J. Sullivan could undermine the incumbent

Iran knows it has played its strongest cards & inflicted considerable pol damage on Trump
But Tehran may have miscalculation one critical factor: Trump values his legacy more than retaining con of either or both houses of Congress during his final term
And Trump is likely to come after Iran with renewed determination. Who will save Tehran? China? Unlikely. Russia? Equally doubtful
Expect Iran to gradually tone down its aggressive rhetoric & seek negotiations before Trump shifts fully to a mil retaliation
