What's In a Pocchiri? Part 17
On The First Day of Fun I present... a new pocchiri! Welcome everyone once again to The Twelve Days of Fun! This one's delayed by a day as I arrived home a bit late last night and didn't get a chance to post it, so please enjoy it now!

Materials: Amethyst, Diamond, Peridot, Tanzanite, Quartz, and Silver Motif(s): Wisteria on a Trellis Owned By: Shigemori (しげ森) in Miyagawa Cho Okay okay, I know that last year I said that Ninben's goldfish pocchiri was one of my favorites, but THIS one is my all time favorite, hands down! I'm a sucker for wisteria and this one is practically my ultimate dream of jewelry and the titular flower combined. It is literally opulence incarnate and made only from the best of the best. The finest clarity amethysts are topped with peridot and quartz leaves and accented with diamonds connecting each flower strand. Diamonds also frame the flowers on the top and bottom while the trellis frame on either side is made up of a very rare stone: tanzanite! Native to the country of Tanzania, the only place in the world where it can be found, tanzanite can be distinguished by its unique blueish purple color. Stock of this stone is expected to run out by the 2040s, so the value of this pocchiri will only grow exponentially over time! Wisteria itself is a symbol of elegance and strength. Prior to hanami being synonymous with cherry blossoms, it was wisteria that used to be prized by the nobles for its spring time blooms. The lovely plant is actually a vine that can be trained to grow like a tree, but unlike a tree, it never stops growing and spreading, making it a potential menace to gardeners who are not prepared to deal with a plant whose strength has been known to crack the foundations of houses! It is a beauty that demands respect and it's clear to see why it's a popular motif for geimaiko ^^ Here you can see it being worn by Fukusono (ふく苑):

Summary - Rhiannon and Rhys struggle with finding each other the perfect solstice gift
Warnings - smut, angst, virginity loss
A/n- this started as angst and fluff and kind of took on a mind of its own.. I apologize for the delay on getting it posted. Miss Sophia has had a mind of her own the past couple days so I've been a little busy forgetting to queue things ❤️ baby daddy's scheduling is now back in place, though.
Peep Requiem for a Dream here
Tumblr media
“I don't understand why you are putting so much pressure on one gift,” Azriel stroked Rhiannon's back as she cried. “Rhys loves you, not any materialistic thing you could buy him.” Rhiannon broke down again, back shaking with each heavy sob.
That was the issue. She could not buy him anything. When her father had thrown her to Azriel's feet and abandoned her with her older Brother, he had left her with nothing but the clothing on her bloodied back.
She had no money.
No title.
Nothing she could gift Rhysand for their first Solstice together.
She couldn't even bake him anything nor cook him a dinner. Not unless the two young fae wanted to undergo a Mating Ceremony.
She had little to offer him while he gave her the world. Constsntly showering Her in gifts from Velaris and any court his father would force him to visit.
From teas and treats to lavish clothing, Rhiannon had it all, but she never had the ability to pay it back.
Rhys and his mother walked the Palace of Thread and Jewels. He was carrying the many bags she had accumulated as she shopped for him, Cassian, Azriel, his sister, and now Rhiannon.
Rhys was struggling with gifts for the latter. He had spoiled Rhiannon so much over the past year, and he was lost in what to get the female he'd hand the world.
“What about just something simple? A necklace? A bracelette?” His mother wrapped a Hand around his bicep. “She enjoys blankets. Perhaps a soft new blanket.”
Rhys stared straight ahead. “Nothing says I love you and want to spend the rest of my days with you like a shitty last minute blanket, mother.” He sighed, knowing what he wanted to do, but knowing his father would have his head.
He allowed his mom to pull him into the finest jeweler in the market. “Just do it, Rhysand. We will hide it until we can't anymore.”
Rhys held Rhiannon tight that night. Refusing to let Her go near the small tree his mother was placing presents under. They had been friends for 4 years now, knew they were mates for one year, and had spent that year courting. They had done nothing more but laid in his bed together, kissing and her hands slightly exploring at times while his roamed every inch of her frame like he was making a map.
He had never pushed her into sex, never asked for more than just her love and kisses, but he knew that small box under the tree would change everything. She had wanted to wait for marriage, a tradition drilled into her head through years of beatings from her step mother and Father.
And now, in just 12 short hours, after his Mother, Azriel, and Cassian left for the party being thrown in the Mead Hall, Rhysand would be asking her for her hand.
He placed a few soft kisses along her neck, smiling as she snuggled in closer to him with a small twitch of her lips. Just a few more hours, he told himself.
Solstice morning was filled with laughter and joy. The males having partook in yet another snowball fight as Rhiannon spent the morning in the kitchen helping with what little she could without triggering a mating frenzy.
She, Azriel, and Cassian had exchanged their homemade gifts without the presence of the High Lord's family, the three of them tucked into the boy's room as they exchanged homemade treats. They all couldn't afford much, so these small things had become their tradition. Something they could gather ingredients and supplies for a fairly cheap and make with love and effort.
They did the same for Rhysand's family, showing their gratitude for his mother's choice to pull the three of them into their home. Azriel and Cassian traded gifts with Rhysand while Rhiannon had to wait.
Anxiousness Had set into the pit of her stomach as she got dressed this morning. Rhysand's mother had taken gentle care, braiding her long dark hair, making sure her nails were trimmed and clean, that her hands were oiled and moisturized.
She had ensured Rhiannon had been gifted a fine set of oils and lotions along with a pretty lacy outfit she had hand made for “when the time felt right.”
The evening came quickly, prompting Cassian, Azriel, and Rhysand's mother to leave the cabin, heading to the Mead Hall for celebrations and leaving the two mates completely alone.
Rhys had her between his legs, Tucked into his chest tight and placing small kisses along her temple and hairline. “I'm sorry I'm keeping you away from the camp party,” Rhys tilted her head up. “I just wanted time alone with you.”
Rhiannon smiled softly. “If you think I'd rather spend a single moment in that hall with those males, you truly underestimate my love for you.”
“I thought we could talk about that,” Rhysand began softly. “About love and us.” Rhys sat her up, hiding the small black box behind him. “You know I love you, right?”
The falling look on her face had Rhysand back pedaling Watching in horror as she moved away from him and sat down in the opposite couch.
He moved to her instantly, grabbing her soft small hands. “I already fucked that up,” he muttered taking a deep breath. “What I mean is, I do love you, and I hope I have made that clear and obvious.”
He took a deep breath, pausing to kiss her left hand. “I have loved you long before the Bond snapped, and I would love you regardless of it being in place. From the moment Azriel carried you in the doorway begging mother for help, I felt drawn to you.”
Another long pause came as he kissed each knuckle on her hand. “I knew I loved you the moment you took down a male, not knowing he was one of Devlon's bastard Sons and beat the shit out of him for grabbing you. I knew I loved you when I pulled you off of him and went back to fight. I knew I loved you as you sat holding Ice to your lip getting lectured by mother and simply said, “let the camp lord know I'll do it again.” I knew I loved you because of your spark, your fight.”
Rhiannon looked away, hiding her amusement. “So you knew You loved me when it turned out I was violent.”
“You are a violent, murderous, little creature,” Rhysand purred softly, trying to hide the lust in his tone. “And I stupidly love every single ounce of it. I love your eyes when you see something that makes you happy. I love how you pout when I don't give you whatever you want-”
“I do not pout,” Rhys smirked at her, thumb going to her pouty bottom lip.
“Oh yes you do, Darling.” He kissed her gently. “I want to spend my life with you. Learning all the other things I can love. Growing to love the things I already do more.”
Before Rhiannon could respond and process what was happening, Rhys was on one knee before her, an open ring box in hand. “It would be a long engagement, Rhiannon Darling, but will you marry me?”
All she could do was nod, crying as she threw herself Into his arms, holding him tight. “I presume that is a yes?”
Rhiannon nodded before pulling him to her and kissing him deeply. It did not take long for that kiss to become more passionate. Rhys was on top of her in an instant, resting between her legs as they wrapped around his waist, hairs tangling into her long dark hair.
Her own hands found the buttons of his shirt, undoing them quickly and pushing it down his shoulders. Once the material was no longer there, Rhiannon began to run her hands over every exposed piece of skin. Nails and fingertips gently brushing some areas while other areas were squeezed.
The second those legs, those damned legs, wrapped around his waist, Rhys knew her intentions. He pulled apart from her, almost chuckled as she whined softly, “Are you sure?”
“Yes,” her voice was breathy as she tried to get him closer, nodding eagerly in confirmation.
Rhys got off the couch, lifting her With him as he did and carried her to her room. “I refuse to let your first time be on a couch instead of a bed,” he laid her down, smiling ferally as he did.
It was teasingly slow, removing her from her clothing, smiling as she laid Naked below him, dark hair spread out around her head like a halo. “So beautiful, darling.” Rhys placed soft kisses along her jawline, whispering to her as his fingers trailed every curve.
Her skin was on fire from every pass, every gentle caress, every touch she'd never experienced before. The second his tongue flicked Her nipple, a whine she'd never heard from herself tumbled from plush parted lips. “So sensitive,” Rhys muttered before licking and sucking her breast while his hand played with the other one. Once he was satisfied, he freed her nipple with a soft pop Before switching sides.
Rhiannons' back arched more cries falling from her lips as her hands tangled in his soft hair. “Please,” she whimpered, thighs clenching together as wetness and heat pooled between them. “Rhysand, please.”
He tutted her softly, mouth returning to hers. “You'll take what I give you, when I give it to you,” another harsher kiss had her whimpering. “Understood, darling?”
“Yes, husband,” the word spurred something primal in Rhysand. Eyes going dark with lust and need.
Since that bond had snapped, all he had wanted was to be hers, for her to be his in return, and now he was taking it. He was stealing this opportunity. Rhys kissed down her body again, growling when he finally hit her core. “So fucking pretty.”
He gave her no warning, diving into her cunt like a man starved. Rhiannon quickly became a mess of moans and cries. The foreign feeling he was bringing her was unmatched to anything she had made herself feel before.
She knew Rhysand was a talented lover, having laid in bed late at night hearing him with the few females he would bring home before they had gotten together, before the Bond snapped, but this was unimaginable.
It was messy. Tongue spreading and taking slick as he lapped at her entrance and clit.
It was hot. Sweat forming on both of their bodies as the room grew warmer and warmer, as panting took the place of stable breaths.
It was raw passion. Each lick, nudge, moan a measurement moment. Each tightening of her core, of her stomach twisting causing more drive as she pushed it down the bond to him.
It took minutes that felt like seconds for her to fall apart on his tongue, that coil snapping as she screamed his name and stars took place of her vision.
Rhys kissed her clit before moving back up her body, hand replacing his tongue and fingers running through her folds. “You taste divine,” his lips found hers, tongue going into her mouth to share his new favorite wine with her. “I could spend days between your beautiful thighs, Rhiannon.”
He was distracting her, praising Her with soft kisses and words. When he finally felt his finger was wet enough, he slowly pushed it in, watching her face as her breath hitched and eyes rolled back.
“Relax, little mate,” he whispered. “I have you.” He moved agonizingly slow, forehead resting On hers as her breathing picked up again. He smiled as her walls relaxed, Welcoming his finger deeper into her warmth. “There we go. Doing such a good job, darling.”
Rhiannon had her eyes locked shut, mouth opened to a soft o as she felt that coil begin to wind itself up again. She could feel Rhysand's eyes on her, his spare hand tracing her cheekbone As a second finger entered her, stretching her out more to prepare her for him.
Rhys seemed to be on a mission. His fingers were curling, scissoring, searching. It was obvious when he found what he was looking for. He watched as his mate took a deep breath, back arched again, and then a Loud moan of his name fell from swollen lips. He felt his stomach stirring with male pride as he Began to aim over and over for that same spot, feeling wave after wave of her arousal and pleasure shooting down the bond.
He had her pulled apart within seconds again. The pride of it all shot straight to his ego.
His beautiful little mate.
Folding for him Over and over again.
Rhys kissed her deeply, deciding she was ready and pulled his fingers out. “Last Chance to tell me to stop, Rhiannon.” Rhys' forehead found hers again, going into her mind to find any doubt. Instead he found love, contentment, need, lust. Her thoughts were clouded and occupied by him. His scent, his intelligence, his voice. His own clothes were long forgotten, slick soaked hand moving to coat himself before lining up with her. “Tell me it hurts and we stop.” She nodded, hands going to his biceps as her hazel eyes met his.
Rhys pushed in slowly, watching her like a hawk. Her nails dug into his arms, almost spurring him on As she whimpered softly underneath him. He stopped as she tensed up, gently stroking her hair, “You have to relax, baby. I don't want to hurt you.” Rhiannon, done with teasing and wanting this part over With, wrapped her legs Around his waist, forcing him in deeper with a gasp. Rhys growled, burying his head into her neck as his self control slowly began to disappear. He pushed in the rest of the way, groaning as her soft walls hugged him.
They sat like that for a few seconds, allowing her to relax further, to adapt to the intrusion. “Rhys, please,” she begged. “Gods please move.” He was lost in the haze of her, pulling out slowly before pushing back in and setting a soft rhythm. Their hands found each other, fingers lacing together as he made love to her, hitting that perfect spot every time he reentered her body. “I love you,” he whispered and smiled as she said it back.
“Faster,” she panted. Rhys felt his smile go feral. His speed picked up, watching as her breasts bounced. His free hand found her hip, squeezing the side of her ass as he took her.
Their joint pleasure was building quickly as they freely sent it to each other down the bond. Rhys could feel himself nearing that edge and brought his fingers to her clit. “Need you to cum, Rhi,” he almost begged her for it. His Fingers began to circle that bud, watching through heavy eyes as she began chanting his name over and over again, walls fluttering and clenching around him. “Need to feel you fall apart on my cock, little wife.”
That word.
That precious word.
The word that made this all okay in her mind was her undoing.
The idea of being his wife. His mate. His everything.
She shattered around him, crying for him and screaming his name as she came. She saw the heavens behind her eyes as she pulled him closer, mind lost in the feeling of him, the smell of him, the need for him.
Rhys tumbled over the edge seconds later, moaning her name loudly as did.
The room that had previously echoed with the sound of her slick, skin making contact, of their moans was now silent. Breathing the only thing indicating life was still there. Rhys pulled Out of her slowly, picking her up the second he was stable on his own feet and carrying her to the bathroom.
He bathed her as she slept in his arms, his own mind still processing that this had finally happened.
She woke up the next morning, ring on her finger to the sound of Cassian egging on a fight. Rolling her eyes, Rhiannon left her bed, Walking to the kitchen and joining Rhysand's mother at the table for coffee. “How long?” She asked.
Amara looked at Rhys and Azriel, watching as the shadowsinger landed another punch. “About 10 minutes. Should be done soon. Let's talk wedding dresses.”
Rhiannon smiled, leaning her head on Amara’s shoulder. “Happy solstice, mom.”
“Happy solstice, Rhi.”

October 25th 1415 saw The Battle of Agincourt.
On Monday I posted about the Auld Alliance, todays post is an example of how the French used Scots soldiers in their 100 year war.
A smaller English Army (about 9,000) lead by Henry V defeated a larger French Army (about 12,000) including some Scots and Bretons, following which the French invoked the "Auld Alliance".
In desperation the French Dauphin turned to the Scots, England’s traditional enemy, for help. As always, anxious for a fight with the Auld Enemy, more than 12,000 Scots boarded ships bound for France. And they didn’t have to wait too long: in 1421 at the Battle of Bauge they defeated the English army, killing the Duke of Clarence.
The Scottish army was well rewarded by their French allies with honours, titles and as much fine food and drink as they could consume. All this cosseting and good living appears to have taken its toll, as at Vernuil in 1424 a Scots army totalling 4,000 men was completely wiped out. As hired mercenaries they could have expected no mercy and they received none: those captured were later put to the sword.
Despite this defeat, the military intervention of the Scots had bought valuable breathing space, and the delay ultimately saved France from English domination.
Many Scots remained in France with some joining Joan of Arc in her famous relief of Orleans. Others formed the Garde Écossais, the fiercely loyal bodyguard of the French Kings. As permitted by terms of the alliance, many of the mercenaries eventually settled in France, although then just as now, as immigrants they would always think of themselves as Scots first.
As previously mentioned, the Auld Alliance wasn’t simply a military alliance, a commercial alliance also developed which was founded on the Scots love of wine… French wine in particular!
It was due to this special relationship that Scottish merchants had the privilege of selecting the finest wines for themselves, much to the annoyance of wine drinkers south of the border. Wine that was landed in barrels at ports like Leith was mostly for consumption by the elite of Scottish society, with most commoners seemingly content with drinking whisky or beer.
The Auld Alliance was however rocked by the Reformation, and trade between Protestant Scotland and Catholic France would obviously no longer be feasible …or would it?
It does appear that the Reformation did significantly affect trade between the two nations with the one exception of claret. The Scots seemingly could not exist without it.
Records indicate that Scottish merchants were still going to Bordeaux in order to bring back their favourite choice wine as late as 1670. Even after the Union of Parliaments with England in 1707, claret continued to be smuggled into Scotland thus avoiding taxes.
The original alliance that granted dual citizenship in both countries was not revoked until 1903. by the French.

STEPPING UP
Letterman’s Staff Remembers His Generosity During the Writers’ Strike
Former Letterman staffers discuss the talk show host’s decision to help out of work crew amid the 2007-2008 writers’ strike
BY KALIA RICHARDSON
Tumblr media
SEPTEMBER 19, 2023
THE ACTORS’ AND writers’ strikes have left countless people out of work for months as the two unions, SAG-AFTRA and the WGA, fight with the studios for better working conditions for their members. The strikes have also pushed the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards (originally set for Sept. 18) to January, stalled TV and film productions, and delayed the return of late-night talk shows indefinitely. With so many in the entertainment world out of work, actors and talk show hosts have found ways to raise money through the Entertainment Community Fund, the SAG-AFTRA relief fund, Quinta Brunson’s strike fund, nontraditional auctions (have Adam Scott walk your dog), and the Strike Force Five podcast featuring Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmy Kimmel, John Oliver, Seth Meyers, and Jimmy Fallon, who was recently the subject of a damning Rolling Stone investigation about his toxic work environment. 
This, of course, isn’t the first time Hollywood has been on strike — and received support from late-night hosts. 
During the previous Writers Guild of America strike that began Nov. 5, 2007 and ended Feb. 12, 2008, David Letterman paid The Late Show with David Letterman and The Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson staffers out of his pocket.
Bill Scheft, who wrote for Letterman for 24 years, says that Letterman was unwilling to move forward without his writers. 
“To me, it was one of his finest moments,” Scheft tells Rolling Stone.   
While he says it’s unfair to compare Letterman to current late-night shows due to declines in viewership and a shifting media landscape, Scheft is ultimately glad hosts like Bill Maher, who he worked with during the first season of ABC’s Politically Incorrect, decided to stay off the air.
“I’m happy that he reconsidered,” Scheft says of Maher. “I just think that it was a bad look.”
Letterman’s production company, Worldwide Pants, issued a statement at the beginning of the ‘07-’08 writers’ strike that it would continue to pay its non-writing staff of The Late Show and The Late Late Show to the end of the year, making it the first company to guarantee its staff financial support during the strike. The Daily Show with Jon Stewart did not offer compensation to its employees, while NBC’s The Tonight Show With Jay Leno later promised to pay staffers for at least a week.
“It is important to Dave that our staff members have some degree of support during this uncertain time,” the Worldwide Pants statement read. “Therefore, Worldwide Pants, which independently produces both shows, will continue to pay the non-writing staff of the shows – fully compensating lower-salaried employees, and providing a substantial portion of salaries for those at the higher end — at least through the end of the year.” 
At the time, Letterman owned The Late Show and The Late Late Show. CBS paid a licensing fee to air the shows, which means Letterman’s production company was responsible for compensating its writers. Letterman and the WGA inked a deal in late December 2007 granting interim agreements to both talk shows, allowing them to continue production with its union writing staff. Around that time, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and Late Night with Conan O’Brien also resumed production, but without their writers. 
Scheft added that even after Letterman’s team went back to work, he had “survivor’s guilt” and delivered pizza to striking writers on the picket lines. 
“We had got lucky and that was only because our boss owned the show,” he recalls. 
It was a model Letterman adopted from Johnny Carson during the 1988 writers’ strike, the longest strike at 22 weeks. Carson, who owned The Tonight Show, was paying his staffers out of pocket and pursued an interim agreement before returning sans writers in May 1988.  Barbara Gaines, a former executive producer for Letterman’s show, shared that lower-salaried employees were paid in November and December.
“Dave himself is a writer,” Gaines, who worked for Letterman for 35 years, tells Rolling Stone. “He always respected the writers very much. [You] can’t do a comedy show without writers.” 
Scheft picketed The View Tuesday, which is still in production amid the strikes. Drew Barrymore announced Sunday she would pause her daytime talk show after immense backlash, and Bill Maher followed suit Monday. The Jennifer Hudson Show and The Talk delayed their Sept. 18 premieres as well. 
Scheft acted as a liaison between the Writers Guild and Letterman’s late-night writers, and marched the picket lines in 2007. As a decades-old friend of The View’s Joy Behar and Whoopi Goldberg, he says he believes they would be out on the picket lines if it wasn’t for their roles as co-hosts of the daytime talk show.

Part II, Day 96
Tumblr media
I’m gonna tell you the biggest lesson I learned from being laid off twice in one year. It’s simple.
Update your portfolio.
That’s it.
Tend to it like I tended to the dandelions in my yard today—consistently and in a timely fashion. (Now, preferably.)
I’ve learned lots of things about networking and job hunting and personal growth, but the biggest thing I can offer to you, dear reader, is to keep your portfolio updated.
Don’t have a portfolio yet? Neither did I, just one year ago. Today is the perfect day to start one. Get to it!
Grab those screenshots, jot down those forecast and realized success measures, document those outcomes. If you find yourself laid off, you’ll also find yourself without access to all of your projects. Don't delay!
In some cases, you can go to the web or an app and screenshot what’s publicly available. Maybe your finest work made it to production, and it’s working, available, and visible. But there’s so many more scenarios that will make accessing your work, post-layoff, much more difficult:
🌼 Experimentation work that involved variations, only some of which got the green light for permanent use
🌼 Work behind a login across different complex user cases or flows that you can’t replicate
🌼 Work that exists for a limited time, then goes away
🌼 Projects that did not make it to the final production stage
Each of these scenarios would contain hours and hours of your thinking, your work, and your documentation that simply went *POOF.* Very sad, very frustrating. It’s a burden you’ll carry as you curse the pre-layoff version of yourself.
I’m not asking you to copy entire repos or run duplicate versions of all files all of the time. That can quickly enter dangerous IP territory—even more of a headache than sitting there sans portfolio.
The most important thing is to TELL A STORY. Tell YOUR story, how you participated in the project, how you were critical to its success, how it performed, and how you learned from it. 
Sometimes that story requires a visual, a screenshot of a user flow, or an animation of an interaction. It needs a clear narrative and a simple, repeatable structure, since you’ll be using it across the samples in your portfolio. Consistency like that can make a nice impression on the person reviewing your work.
Layoffs are surprises. I was totally surprised when laid off one year ago, and had to start my portfolio from scratch. It was a struggle, but I got there.
I was more prepared when I got laid off three months ago, and was able to start applying within days instead of weeks because I’d kept things updated. (I’m always polishing it, but that’s easier than starting from square one.)
Now's the time, friends!

Indian Students Issued Record Number of Student Visas in the US, F-1 Regulations Updated
Tumblr media
Indian students in the United States were issued a total of 1,30,839 F-1 student visas in 2023, witnessing a 14 per cent surge from 2022, says an ApplyBoard report.
The report says study permit trends in the US has indicated that this is the second year in a row, when Indians received more US student visas than students from any other country.
In 2023, the quantity of F1 student visas granted exceeded by 10,000 the total number of visas issued to the leading four East Asian markets collectively.
According to the report's findings, approximately 4,46,000 F-1 student visas were issued by the US in 2023, marking an 8.5% rise from the 4,11,000 visas issued in 2022. This figure represents the largest number of student visas issued in a single year since 2016.
More than 2 lakh Indian students consider pursuing higher education in the US every year. According to the US Embassy, Indian immigrants encompass 20 per cent of the foreign student group who aim to gain the know-how of emerging technologies, artificial intelligence, innovation, and entrepreneurship.
Especially students who desire to study Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) courses prefer the US as their go-to destination for its quality education, frontline universities, and diverse culture.
What is an F1 visa?
An F-1 visa is a non-immigrant visa that enables students to enter the US provinces and attend a university or college, high school, elementary school, seminary, language training program, or other academic organisation. Till now, Indian students holding an F-1 visa could avail of up to 12 months of optional practical training (OPT), pre or post-completion of their graduate studies in STEM. They could apply for another year of OPT when seeking a postsecondary degree at a higher level.
However, there were a few challenges related to the postgraduate employment visa and its transformation to a work visa, which the country aims to revamp to attract international students.
How does an F-1 visa attract Indian students to the US?
The US is already a STEM hub, with some of the world’s finest universities with high academic standards and rigorous practical training grooming global learners. However, pursuing an education in the United States is expensive, with prices varying by degree program, location, type of university, and other factors. The tuition cost of a program usually ranges from $32,000 to $60,000 per year. Furthermore, living costs are 241% more expensive than in India, ranging between $10,000 to $18,000 per annum.
In this scenario, an F-1 visa allows students to work beside their full-time academic commitment to earn a living. It permits learners to work on-campus up to 20 hours per week during the session and up to 40 hours per week during holidays. Moreover, the F-1 visa is valid for up to 5 years, during which a student can switch between academic programs or transfer to a different school by notifying the USCIS.
Tumblr media
F-1 visas also enable students to work off-campus through OPT after completing their academic program. Learners who want to stay longer in the United States and pursue employment can apply for the OPT program and switch their student visa to an H-1B work visa for an initial three-year period. However, the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) used to take about 150-210 days (5-7 months) to process Form I-765 for employment authorisation, causing delays and complications.
Revised provisions of an F-1 visa
In September 2022, the USCIS announced a revision of employment authorisation applicable from March 6 to extend a student’s retention period in the US, reduce the backlog, and enhance processing efficiency. In this policy, selected categories of students on F-1 visas who pursue studies in STEM or its allied modules can opt for an additional 24 months extension of their OPT program to find a suitable employment opportunity. Once the extension period ends, they can apply for an H-1B work visa or search for an employer willing to sponsor their work visas.
Moreover, the revised F-1 visa provision focuses on premium processing of employment authorisation. That said, a student on an F-1 visa can apply for an H-1B work visa by filling out Forms I-129, I-140, and I-765 for Employment Authorisation and Form I-907 for Requesting Premium Processing Service. The USCIS will take 15 calendar days (instead of 210) to process the applications from submission,accelerating their review process and reducing turnaround time.

Lectures With Lady Ashdale
I love the Victorian Era. The fashion for wealthy women alone makes me want to rip open a portal in time and buy a Worth gown for a Debutante Ball I was not invited to. I want to go to a damn concert at the Paris Conservatory and meet Malo De Vigny backstage while Justine cries in the distance. Could I please rub elbows with the finest and have krimpets with her highness, Queen Victoria?
Alas, today we have a historical "facts" video to address. Facts is a loose term here because it's more or less a top ten video designed to shock you. It's also quite shocking how false the facts are (like how books, concerts, music didn't exist because TV and Internet invented everything/ sarcasm. Therefore, Vignette exists for that reason alone./SARCASM)
Link to the video in question:
youtube
(Skip ahead to 4:29)
*gasp* So Vignette wasn't the only form of entertainment?! Your contradiction is showing in the form of abysmal editing. (First draft=/= final draft!)
Originally, novels were seen as frivolous compared to non-fiction and plays (eventually, this changed due to education and work reforms leading to literacy and time to read, respectively). Gothic literature was no exception, yet vampires didn't create a widespread fear of the undead that led to cages being placed over graves.
Give robbers weren't always searching for material valuables. Sometimes, they were *gasp* finding fresh corpses for the sake of studying ANATOMY! Because medicine was evolving, and doctors needed to learn how the body worked so people could be treated properly. There's a young adult book I read once about an earlier time period with the same concept (stealing bodies for anatomical studies.) It was called Flesh Market by Nicola Morgan
The main character was against this practice at first because his mother died from a horribly botched mastectomy ( she had a tumor on her breast/breast cancer.) She died from the ensuing infection. He distrusted doctors so much that he wanted to report the grave robbers (it was illegal to exhumed bodies because of morality and taboo. ) then he was able to realize that, if studies were done on the corpses, botched surgeries could--and would--- become less common.
In a historical context, it wasn't him becoming 21st century levels of aware. He didn't change the world of medicine overnight. But people like him, they EXISTED. They changed the world, but the process was long and treacherous (morality and laws.)
You are also helping to change the world, in your own special way--clickbaiting with shock value. Like how Vignette was the ONLY FORM of fun (which you contradicted, hence this post). In any case, Victorians were pragmatic about death because death was natural. Kids frequently died from now preventable diseases, and accidents were common in factories and workplaces. Arsenic, lead, cocaine, heroin--equally as common. Are they bad substances to use? Of course! Did the victorians know this? No they did not. Should we judge them by modern standards for not knowing what we do now? No!
We can, however, address what they did as a mistake that we can correct today (like not using lead in the construction of houses/plumbing, or preventing the spread of cocaine use.)
The Victorian Era was undeniably scary--disease, death, lack of sanitation, greedy industrialists---but it also helped pave the way for social reforms (like women's rights, Moral Reforms for the treatment of those with mental illness, and child labor laws.)
So, no, do not judge the past through the eyes of the present.
