The University of Cambridge is among almost a dozen UK universities accused of helping to develop Iran’s weapons including “suicide drones”.
At least 11 British universities are involved, with staff producing at least 16 studies with potential Iranian military applications.
Key pieces of research have been conducted by academics at the University of Cambridge, Imperial College London, the University of Glasgow, Cranfield University and Northumbria University.
In one project, funded by Tehran, researchers in the UK worked to improve drone engines by boosting their altitude, speed and range. Another British university worked with Iranian researchers to test new controls for jet engines to increase their “manoeuvrability and response time” in military applications.
“It is quite possible these collaborations are assisting in the gender apartheid within Iran, and its hostile interference and violence across the Middle East or even helping to massacre civilians in Ukraine,” she added.

Ep 5 - Cranfield vs Royal Holloway
Right, gang - I got distracted watching skits about contact tracing on Twitter so I now only have thirteen minutes to write this intro rather than the thirty I had initially planned for (its remarkably easy to fall down a ‘skits about contact tracing’ rabbit hole, and it's a surprisingly deep rabbit hole), but we’re going to give this a go anyway...
Something football fans will idly do if there aren’t any matches on, or if the only match thats on is something like Burnley vs Watford (mid-October, not mid-March in the depths of a relegation battle), is idly speculate about what the ideal lineup of Premier League teams would be. Unlike American sports in which there is no promotion and relegation, the football pyramid is a constantly shifting chimaera, meaning that you can never have all of the most “noble and historic” teams in the top division at the same time.
Indeed, they did try and engineer a version of this for teams across the European continent in the form of the European Super League, but this was shouted down for being one of the most soulless and corporate ideas ever to come out of soulless and corporate modern sport. But it's something fun to think about, anyway.
I actually have a list of 22 teams for my dream Premier League on my phone, dated 5th January 2019 (just so you know I’m walking the walk as well as talking the talk here). I’d share, but the controversy would likely be too much for me (and you) to handle. The thought processes behind this decision making are very abstract and unknowable, but essentially, in most people’s cases, it probably boils down to two things: one - who used to be really good, ages ago?; and two - who was sort of okay when you were between the ages of five and thirteen. This is why my particular list contains Nottingham Forest and Portsmouth, despite neither of them having been in the top division (until Forest’s ascent this year) for quite a while.
You may also have noticed that my league has 22 participants, while the actual league only has 20. This is because of a third aspect of the decision making process - the idea of the golden age. Despite the fact that I was never alive when the Premier League had 22 teams, it feels to me like football must have been better, and more pure when it did.
Nothing can be as good now as it used to be.
This is a truism in more than just football. When we look at the past, we look at it with rose-tinted glasses.
I imagine you’re wondering what the heck this all has to do with University Challenge, and you’d have good reason to. Your wondering will likely not be abated by my explanation either, because the observation it is based on is far from universal.
When choosing my ideal 28 team lineup for University Challenge, I’d have all of the major players - your Yorks, and your Edinburghs, your Durhams and Warwicks and Imperials and St Andrewses. A sprinkling of the most successful Oxford and Cambridge Colleges, Trinity, Magdalene, Corpus Christi… The Open University. I’d also have one of tonight’s teams, despite them only having appeared four times in the Paxman Era.
However, in one of those four appearances, Cranfield made the final, so in the hours I have spent on the University Challenge Wikipedia page over the years, scrolling through the list of past finals, they must have seeped into my head as an absolutely classic UC team. They’ve not been on the show since they were beaten in the Grand Final by Birkbeck in 2003, but I’ve absorbed that name over the course of countless repeat visits to that one webpage, to the extent that I had written all of that stuff about the Premier League without even checking their overall record. Still, they make my roster regardless.
Unfortunately, Royal Holloway, with their pair of second round appearances, do not. But that’s quite enough nostalgia for one intro, lets get on with the show (this has taken me twenty one minutes, so I’m going to be watching on a delay, but that ain’t half bad for seven hundred words I don’t think)
The first starter goes to Brown of Royal Holloway, winning the race to Renee Zellwegger. They pass on a very guessable bonus- as in they should have at least given a guess, not necessarily that they would have got it right - which is not the most promising of signs, but they get the third at least. Brown then takes another starter, and they took two bonuses on the Copley medal.
Suri gets Cranfield off the mark with pop art, and they get two bonuses on the letter X, before Keenan takes the first picture round to bring them within five points. Two bonuses on proposed new states reversed the deficit.
Harvey gets a starter for Holloway, and I was about to chastise them for saying snapping turtle instead of snapper turtle on a bonus, and chastise Paxman for allowing the answer, but a quick Google has revealed that it was I who was in the wrong. How embarrassing. At least I didn’t publish that without checking, though.
Cranfield’s double act of Keenan and Suri take another ten points each to reclaim the lead for the Bedfordshire quartet, but Harvey swiftly pegs them back with a starter of his own, and Holloway are five clear going into the music round.
No one gets the starter, despite some accidental conferring from Holloway after Cranfield skipper Stephenson had buzzed in with a wrong answer. Abramovich hears two-toed on the next starter and buzzes in with sloth, as any good quizzer should. What other animal is defined by its having two toes?
On a bonus about The Haunting of Hill House, Cranfield’s Chivers comes so close to the correct answer that it's such a shame to hear him say End instead of Hill, but them's the breaks. Holloway follow this up by giving sea urchin instead of sea cucumber, but that only has two words in total so it's less sad.
The second picture starter goes to Brown, who recognised a still from the Danish show Borgen. They clean up on the bonuses, and Paxman takes his chance to patronise them for knowing stuff about TV shows. I know it's his last season and all, but it should be pointed out that he himself is literally on a TV show at the exact moment he makes this comment.
On the next starter, which also goes to Brown, you can sense him gearing up to correct her pronunciation of Karamazov before she’s even finished giving her answer. She won’t care though, because Holloway are more than fifty points clear with only a few minutes remaining.
A late rally from Cranfield brings them above one hundred points, but Holloway aren’t threatened, and win by a clear margin at the gong.
Final Score: Cranfield 110 - 155 Royal Holloway
So, Cranfield not doing much justice to my selection of them to the Hall of Fame lineup there, but congratulations to Royal Holloway, who advance to the second round for the third time in three appearances. Here’s hoping they can go one better this time.
See you next time for Glasgow vs Queen’s Belfast, and as always, thanks for reading. Subscribe if you never want to miss a post, it really would mean a lot to me.

Floors in Ancient Greek Luxury Villa Were Laid with Recycled Glass
By the University of Southern Denmark
Excavation and Mosaic Floors of Villa. Credit: University of Southern Denmark
Although this 1700 years old luxury villa was excavated and examined both in 1856 and in the 1990s, it still has secrets to reveal.
New secrets have now been revealed by an international research team, with Professor and expert in archaeometry, Kaare Lund Rasmussen from University of Southern Denmark leading the so called archaeometric analyses: using chemical analysis to determine which elements an object was made of, how it has been processed, etc.
Others in the team are Thomas Delbey from Cranfield University in England and the classical archaeologists Birte Poulsen and Poul Pedersen from Aarhus University and University of Southern Denmark. The team's work is published in the journal Heritage Science, including archaeometric analysis of 19, approximately, 1600 years old mosaic tesserae.
One of seven wonders of the world
The tesserae originate from an excavation of a villa from late antiquity, located in Halikarnassos (today Bodrum in Anatolia, Turkey). Halikarnassos was famous for King Mausolus' giant and lavish tomb, which was considered one of the seven wonders of the world.
The villa was laid out around two courtyards and the many rooms were adorned with mosaic floors. In addition to geometric patterns, there were also motifs of various mythological figures and scenes taken from Greek mythology; e.g. Princess Europa being abducted by the god Zeus in the form of a bull and Aphrodite at sea in her seashell.

Motifs from the stories of the much younger Roman author Virgil are also represented.
Inscriptions in the floor have revealed that the owner was named Charidemos and that the villa was built in the mid-fifth century.
A costly luxury
Mosaic flooring was a costly luxury: expensive raw materials like white, green, black, and other colors of marble had to be transported from distant quarries. Other stone materials, ceramics and glasses also had to be imported.
"I received 19 mosaic tesserae for analysis in my lab in Denmark. Of these, seven were of glass in different colors; purple, yellow, red, and deep red. My conclusion is that six of them are probably made of recycled glass," says Kaare Lund Rasmussen.
This conclusion is based on a chemical analysis called inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. With it, the research team has determined the concentrations of no less than 27 elements, some of them all the way down to a concentration of billionths of a gram.

Waning of Roman Empire—We were able to distinguish between base glass from Egypt and base glass from the Middle East and also, we could determine which elements were added by the ancient craftsmen to color the glasses and to make them opaque, which was preferred at the time, he says.
It is of course difficult to extrapolate from only seven glass mosaic tesserae, but the new results fit very well with the picture of Anatolia in late antiquity. As the power of the Roman Empire waned, trade routes were closed or rerouted, which probably led to a shortage of goods in many places—including raw materials for glass production in Anatolia.
This, together with the stories depicted on the floors, allows the classical archaeologists to put together a more detailed picture of what was fashionable in late antiquity and what the possibilities were for the artistic unfolding.

#Giles 31st August 1952 #jets #noise
Context: Possibly in part a response to the release of “The Sound Barrier” directed by David Lean, which arrived in British cinemas in 1952 (https://amzn.to/3Q1KUqP) - although more likely, a comment on Cold War jets flying into and around rural airfields, given Giles many other wry observations of the Cold War.
The first jet noise tests, conducted at Cranfield, the University of Southampton and NACA in the early 1950s, were somewhat primitive by today's standards but nevertheless yielded important information that remains valid to this day. By necessity, the makeshift nature of these tests was less than ideal particularly as suitable microphones had yet to be developed.

With all the excitement of the UK being runner-up to Ukraine in the Eurovision Song Contest, you may have missed this...
Great Britain won a silver trophy in the distance category of the Red Bull Paper Wings finals in Salzburg, Austria - The world’s largest paper plane throwing competition.
Yicheng Sun, 32, a researcher into aerospace vehicle design at Cranfield University in Bedfordshire claimed the 2nd place by throwing his plane 57.07 metres, beating 58 competitors from 60 countries.
Competitors from across the world were challenged to come up with the best aerodynamic designs and techniques in three categories: longest distance, longest airtime, and aerobatics. Planes can only be modified by folding – no ripping, gluing, cutting, stapling or weighting of the plane is permitted, and the event was monitored by Guinness Book of World Records’ officials.
Other Team GB members also did well. 21 year old student paramedic Billy Smith from Sheffield came sixth in the longest airtime and competed dressed in a pair of Union Jack shorts with a faux six pack of muscles, and Connor Wynn, 25, from London came 11th in the aerobatic category.
Well done, boys!

Ustica: al via una campagna di ricerche subacquee
Ustica: al via una campagna di ricerche subacquee.
Una campagna di ricerche subacquee interesserà l'isola di Ustica, al largo di Palermo, dal 15 marzo al 30 aprile 2024.
Un progetto, realizzato dalla Cranfield University del Regno Unito e dalla Soprintendenza del mare della Regione Siciliana, in collaborazione con la Guardia costiera, il Comune e l'Area marina protetta dell'isola. L'obiettivo è quello di individuare nuove evidenze archeologiche e nuovi relitti in modo da programmare eventuali recuperi e interventi di tutela.
«Proseguono senza sosta le iniziative alla scoperta di testimonianze preziose della nostra storia più antica - dichiara l'assessore ai Beni culturali e all'identità siciliana Francesco Paolo Scarpinato -. Attraverso metodologie avanzate e tecnologie innovative sarà possibile riportare alla luce reperti ancora sconosciuti che andranno ad arricchire il patrimonio culturale sommerso di Ustica e dell'intera Sicilia».
La campagna prevede un'indagine lungo tutto il perimetro dell'isola, a una profondità compresa tra i 50 e i 300 metri, coprendo un'estensione di circa 36 chilometri quadrati.
Verranno utilizzati due robot sottomarini a guida autonoma (AUV) dotati di "side scan sonar", che permetteranno di mappare i fondali usticesi e che, grazie all'utilizzo di onde acustiche, riporteranno in superficie dati utili alla creazione di mappe dettagliate dei fondali oggetto di indagine.
I "target" individuati verranno ulteriormente esaminati con un ROV (Remotely operated vehicle), un robot subacqueo comandato via cavo dalla superficie che consentirà di effettuare riprese video e fotografie dei siti ritenuti più interessanti.
Il team sarà composto da ricercatori provenienti da diverse parti del mondo: Stati Uniti, Danimarca, Scozia e Italia. Vista la conformazione dell'isola di Ustica, nel tratto sotto costa e per il settore che va da 0 a 50 metri di profondità verrà impiegato un team di sommozzatori che effettuerà una serie di prospezioni subacquee per individuare eventuali evidenze culturali presenti sul fondale....

Demystifying Online MBA Programs: Separating Fact from Fiction
Introduction
Embarking on the journey of pursuing an online MBA can be a pivotal decision, unlocking a world of career possibilities in the ever-evolving job market. However, the decision-making process is often clouded by misconceptions and conflicting opinions. In this blog post, we aim to dispel common myths surrounding online MBA programs, providing clarity to empower you in making an informed choice.
Myth 1: Online MBA programs are not as challenging as on-campus programs.
Contrary to popular belief, online MBA programs offer a level of rigor comparable to traditional on-campus counterparts. Reputable business schools provide both online and offline programs concurrently, ensuring consistency in curriculum, faculty, and study materials. Online students face similar challenges and learning opportunities, debunking the misconception that online programs are less demanding.
Myth 2: To pursue an online MBA, you must be technologically proficient.
There exists a misconception that only tech-savvy individuals can excel in online learning. The reality is that anyone with a basic understanding of internet usage can enroll in an online MBA course. The process is as simple as surfing the internet or using an app. For those less familiar with technology, universities often offer assistance and introductory sessions, ensuring a smooth transition into the online learning environment.
Myth 3: There isn't any direct communication with faculty members.
A prevalent myth suggests that online MBA students lack meaningful interactions with professors and peers. In reality, online students have various avenues for communication, including doubt-solving sessions, email, and discussion forums. While the level of interaction may vary between institutions, many online programs prioritize fostering connections between students and faculty, creating a supportive learning environment.
Myth 4: Programs for online MBAs do not require the participation of a learner.
Another misconception is that online MBA programs involve minimal effort from students. On the contrary, active participation is crucial for success. Students engage in video lectures, participate in activities, adhere to project timelines, and take assessments to demonstrate their understanding of the material. Earning an MBA degree online requires dedication and effort, dispelling the notion that success can be achieved merely by enrolling.
Myth 5: Online MBA programs are not offered by reputable business schools.
Some believe that only traditional universities provide reputable MBA programs. However, prestigious institutions globally, such as Imperial College London, The University of Warwick, The University of Edinburgh, Cranfield School of Management, and Lancaster University, offer online MBA degrees. These programs adhere to the same high standards as their on-campus counterparts, providing a quality education to students worldwide.
Conclusion
Now that we've debunked these common myths, it's evident that online MBA programs are a credible and challenging avenue for those seeking advanced education. An exemplary institution in this regard is DPU-COL, a highly regarded institute in India accredited A++ by NAAC. With over 35 years of experience, DPU-COL offers online MBAs in multiple specializations, providing top-notch learning and placement opportunities to learners across the country.
In conclusion, the decision to pursue an online MBA should be based on accurate information and personal goals. With the flexibility, accessibility, and quality of education offered by reputable institutions, online MBA programs stand as a viable and valuable option for ambitious individuals aiming to advance their careers in today's competitive job market.
