@usembarmenia Many Iranian students are stuck in the AP. They have worked hard for academic admissions and long AP is working against it. They will miss their position in US universities.

Jackal food is a parasitic plant native to Africa that siphons off nutrients from other plants' roots. Its flowers surface after heavy rainfall & emit a carrion-like stench to attract pollinators. Its fruit is similar to a potato & attracts animals like jackals.
