The top layer of trim is decorated with damask print ribbon. Pleated trim is lined with ribbon and ties in the back with an ivory grosgrain ribbon.
Aww! I love this ruffly little bracelet, it makes me think of the filling in a creampuff! Made with hand sewn ruffle fabric trim in a cream color and ivory organza ribbon. Closes with a bow!
Colorful, soft and unique.
So delicate and stylish, I want all her pieces.

I like this simple felt Christmas stocking. All that traditional lace and embroidery is too much for my yuletide eyeballs to handle. Fitzsu sells them in other color variations as well.
Adorable 100% felt house ornaments. Stringing these with ribbon or paper clip hooks makes for fun family activity. Or you can attach them to presents.
I likethe humble simplicity of these placemats.
The patterning on this hand made quilt is incredible. The colors, too.
I love strips and I think yellow is a great color in the kitchen. Especially if you have a lot of natural light.
When it comes to home decor, rugs are a simple way to add a little excitement to your space. In the spirit of geometric abstract prints that are popping up everywhere, here's a great blcak and white tringle rug from Ikea.

I second that!
The maker of these amazing crocheted cupcakes is actually selling the instructions on how to make them. Amazing work.
Beautiful shades of blue! These Turkish towels feel great on the skin.
Seeing as bamboo is a renewable resource AND its naturally antibacterial, these dish towels make a great green addition to any kitchen.
I love this heavy duty hemp shower curtain.
This long cowl looks so much fun. You could wrap it a few tumbles for extra bundle.
This is amazing! Great neck cozy.
NY winters can be a b*tch. I'm definitely going to need this come winter.
Such a beautiful and sleek cashmere sweater to use for layering, or to wear alone. DETAILS: An Ankar garment is made of 100% cashmere wool from Loro Piana in Italy.

Department of Sociology, School of Education and Human Services
Department of Literature and Languages, School of Arts and Sciences
Kathleen Garces-Foley
Department of Theology/Religious Studies
SOC 203 The Global Village (3 credits) is a required course for all students minoring in International Studies. In addition, 12 credits of IS electives, outside of the student's major, in a minimum of 3 academic disciplines, are required.
Students must show a level of skill in a non-native modern language equivalent to the successful completion of a second-semester, college level language course. Students can meet this requirement in one of the following ways:
Students are required to complete at least one study abroad program. A semester-long study abroad program is strongly encouraged; a single short-term study abroad course counting for 3 credits is the minimum.
International studies electives that include a study abroad component may count toward the study abroad requirement; courses taken during a study abroad program do not need to be specifically on an international studies topic in order to count for the study abroad requirement.
The IS steering committee may waive the study abroad requirement for students who have spent a substantial part of their lives living and studying in a country outside the United States.

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are the most powerful explosions the Universe has seen since the Big Bang. They occur approximately once per day and are brief, but intense, flashes of gamma radiation. They come from all different directions of the sky and last from a few milliseconds to a few hundred seconds. So far scientists do not know what causes them. Do they signal the birth of a black hole in a massive stellar explosion? Are they the product of the collision of two neutron stars? Or is it some other exotic phenomenon that causes these bursts?
With Swift, a NASA mission with international participation, scientists have a tool dedicated to answering these questions and solving the gamma-ray burst mystery. Its three instruments give scientists the ability to scrutinize gamma-ray bursts like never before. Within seconds of detecting a burst, Swift relays its location to ground stations, allowing both ground-based and space-based telescopes around the world the opportunity to observe the burst's afterglow. Swift is part of NASA's medium explorer (MIDEX) program and was launched into a low-Earth orbit on a Delta 7320 rocket on November 20, 2004. The Principal Investigator is Dr. Neil Gehrels (NASA-GSFC).
All Swift systems are operating normally.
In early 2016 NASA's Swift mission started an intensive high-cadence monitoring campaign of NGC 4151, one of the nearest galaxies to contain an actively accreting supermassive black hole at its center. Swift looked at the galaxy's nucleus every 6 hours for 69 consecutive days in order to constrain its temporal variability at X-ray, ultraviolet and optical energies. This technique allows Swift to probe the central regions of AGN in which the bulk of the luminosity is produced and emitted. The results of these observations were published today on the Astrophysical Journal. The study, led by researcher Rick Edelson, found that the Swift data rule out the standard reprocessing model for AGN and instead favor the presence of two separate reprocessings: first, emission from the corona illuminates an extreme-UV-emitting toroidal component that shields the disk from the corona; this then heats the extreme-UV component, which illuminates the disk and drives its variability.
Thanks to its unique capabilities, NASA's Swift mission is uniquely poised to characterize the activity and evolution of comets, and active asteroids. Swift's sensitivity at ultraviolet wavelenghts allows scientists to detect hydroxyl, an important tracer of cometary activity formed when water molecules are destroyed by solar UV light. Astronomer Dennis Bodewits, a research scientist at the University of Maryland, uses Swift to follow several Oort Cloud comets and over 15 different asteroids as they cruise through our Solar System. Thanks to extensive Swift observing campaigns, Bodewits obtained spectacular images of the comet Siding Spring during its Mars flyby and spotted a rare and violent collision between two asteroids. These results were honored by the asteroid (10033) Bodewits, named after the lead author of the Swift studies. The announcement was made during the third 'Asteroids, Comets, and Meteroids' meeting, held in Montevideo, Uruguay.

On September 23, 2012 NASA's Swift satellite discovered a bright flash of gamma-rays produced by the explosion of a star. The event, dubbed GRB120923A, was rapidly localized by the X-ray Telescope on-aboard Swift, and later observed with a wide array of optical and infrared telescopes. An international team of astronomers, led by Nial Tanvir at the University of Leicester, found that the explosion happened when the Universe was only 670 million years old, less than five percent of its present age. Only two of the more than 1,000 gamma-ray bursts seen with Swift have earlier measured ages. Gamma-ray bursts represent a powerful tracer of star-formation in the early Universe, and are the only known signature of primordial stars at such distances.

Ultrananocrystalline Diamond-Coated Microporous Silicon Nitride Membranes for Medical Implant Applications
- First Online:
- 241 Downloads
Ultrananocrystalline diamond (UNCD) exhibits excellent biological and mechanical properties, which make it an appropriate choice for promoting epidermal cell migration on the surfaces of percutaneous implants. We deposited a ~150 nm thick UNCD film on a microporous silicon nitride membrane using microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition. Scanning electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy were used to examine the pore structure and chemical bonding of this material, respectively. Growth of human epidermal keratinocytes on UNCD-coated microporous silicon nitride membranes and uncoated microporous silicon nitride membranes was compared using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. The results show that the UNCD coating did not significantly alter the viability of human epidermal keratinocytes, indicating potential use of this material for improving skin sealing around percutaneous implants.

"Hello." Someone else speaking
"Hello." Kyuubi speaking.
"Hello." Thoughts
"Hello." Kyuubi thoughts
Chapter 1
A young boy was walking very slowly though the forest leaving a trail of blood as it dripped from his fingertips and stained the green grass. He couldn't move his right hand at all for there was a burnt hole in his shoulder that had blood gushing out. Not knowing how long he had traveled he finally gave off a small smile when he saw the gates of Konoha. He could feel a small presence maybe a mile or so away from him but he was too exhausted to pay any attention. He soon reached the gates and looked at the angry but satisfied eyes of the guards on top of the gate. They soon opened the huge wooden doors letting the blond boy slowly walk in. He looked up and saw the one person that he thought would help him. His weary blue eyes looked into her emerald ones. The boy also saw that a very sizable amount of villagers were behind her looking at him as well.
"Sakura…" he whispered. He reached his hand out hoping that his friend would help him. She also stretched out her hand with tear eyes.
"Naruto…" she whispered. Naruto's eyes soon widened when he felt a searing pain in his hand as she slapped his hand away.
"How could you have broken our promise! Wasn't that your way of the ninja?!" She screamed so loud that Naruto couldn't react at all shocked that his friend was saying all of this to him.
"Sakura… Please… I tried… my best…" he choked out.
Blood continued to slowly come out of his wounds. She then pushed him making him take a few steps back and began to walk away from him passing a villager walking up to the blond shinobi. Naruto's sad eyes looked at the man who stood before him. The villager then bent down and whispered something into Naruto's ear. At that precise moment Shikamaru who was holding onto a skinny Choji walked past the gates and was relieved to see Naruto still alive although he knew that the young ninja failed to bring Sasuke back. His eyes suddenly widened when he saw what happened next.
"Now is the time where you will be punished for all of the pain you inflicted upon the village." He said.
Naruto suddenly felt a huge surge of pain on his right jaw as the man slammed his hand into the boys face but amazingly Naruto remained standing taking only a few steps back. Naruto's eyes were now half closed. He could feel his heart and soul breaking as more villagers began to run forward and attack him. He could feel his already hurt ribs begin to crack as the villagers began to hit him with hard objects such as bats. Naruto soon fell on a villager who supported his weight easily.
"Don't touch me you monster!" cried the villager punching Naruto in the stomach.
"Stop it!" shouted Shikamaru.
He wanted to run over to help his comrade but with his strength gone and having to carry Choji all he could was watch with horrified eyes. He wished that Temari was here but she had gone off to find Neji and was no where near the village. Naruto finally fell under the constant beating of the villagers. Naruto could see the back of Sakura as she continued to push thought eh crownd away from him. He stretched his arm towards her but it was soon stepped on and broke by a bat that struck his hand right at the wrist area making him whimper in pain. He no longer had the strength to scream as he continued to be beaten. The villagers were also now throwing rocks as hard as they could at him making him curl up in a ball to protect himself as well as he could. Shikmaru's eyes widen when he saw a blur run towards Naruto kicking away 2 attackers along with striking 4 men at the necks knocking them unconscious. Naruto looked up slowly to see someone blocking at least half of the heavy rocks that were flying at him with kunai's. He looked at the short person seeing blue hair.
"Hinata?" whispered Shikamaru with surprise knowing that the Hyuga was very shy. He continued to look at the small girl in amazement as she pulled out 2 kunai's and blocked any projectiles coming at her way with amazing speed.
"She seems so much stronger then before when I saw her at the exams." Thought Shikamaru.
"Stop all of this!" she screamed. She glanced behind her to see Naruto now badly cut up as he began to slowly get up. "Naruto-kun! Take cover!"
He slowly nodded as he began to crawl towards a crate. Hinata suddenly saw a man pick up a kunai and threw it as hard as he could at Naruto piercing the back of his leg. Naruto cried out in pain and collapsed onto the ground once again.
"How can a Hyuga defend that demon?!" shouted a villager.
Hinata didn't have time to answer as she continued to deflect the rocks. They were pretty much attacking in a half circle and Hinata could only stop the frontal assault making Naruto vulnerable from the sides. She soon saw the same man pick up another kunai and pulled his arm back ready to throw once again and let the weapon fly right towards Naruto's head whom was lying on the ground.
"No!" she screamed running towards the kunai but she knew she would never make it in time.
"Ninpo Kuchiyose no jutsu!(Summoning technique)" Suddenly there was a big puff of smoke and a clanking of metal heard. Hinata's eyes widened when she saw a frog a bit bigger then her wearing armor block the kunai. There was suddenly an explosion that made all the attacks stop.
"What the hell is going on here?!" shouted a white haired man.
"Jiraya-sama! We are so sorry!" cried the villagers.
Jiraya's eyes flashed with anger wanting to just punish all of them right there and now but he had more important things to take care of such as getting Naruto to the hospital. Suddenly he heard a very cold voice form behind him.
"Sabaku kyuu! (Sand coffin) Suddenly at least 30 waves of sand shot out and zipped right past the toad sannin wrapping itself around many villagers and lifting them off the ground screaming out for someone to help them. Shikamaru turned around to see Gaara, Kankuro, Temari and Lee, right behind them was Neji and Kiba being carried on 2 beds of sand. "We should kill them for what they have done…"
"No!" shouted Jiraya. "We will take care of them according to our law Gaara the most important thing is to get Naruto to the hospital!"
Gaara reluctantly let his hand fall withdrawing the sand. He then took Shikamaru by the arm and went over to Naruto (who is unconscious now), Jiraya and Hinata. Hinata was nervous that Gaara was so close to her. She shrieked when a ball of sand formed around the group making her close her eyes in fright but when she opened them she saw that they were in Konoha's hospital.
"Naruto-kun! Oh my god what happened Jiraya-sama!" shouted Shizune. "Hurry get a stretcher!"
Several medical-nin's who didn't really care about Naruto's demon hurried towards the seriously injured boy and carried him off to the emergency room. They were followed by the other members of the group that went after Sasuke.
Tsunade quickly burst into an emergency room that had all sorts of monitor noises.
"Tsunade-sama! Thank goodness hurry! Were losing him! He lost too much blood!"
Tsunade quickly went over to the boy that she considered her little brother and poured an enormous amount of chakra into his body not only healing his wounds but also restoring some of his own chakra stabilizing his vitals. The hokage sighed in relief followed by her assistant. Tsunade then bent down with tears in her eyes as she kissed Naruto's forehead. She then ran out of the room to treat the other patients that were critically injured. After several hours Tsunade slowly walked out of Choji's room and made her way to Jiraya who was leaning against the wall with his arms folded in front of his chest.
"How is everyone?" asked Jiraya.
"Everoyne is stabilizing…" muttered Tsunade taking a seat. "Choji and Neji is going to be unconscious for a while thankfully it isn't a coma. Kiba will be out of here in maybe a week and Shikamaru has already been released. As for Naruto…" She then began to sob. Jiraya's put a hand on her shoulder.
"That isn't your fault."
"I should have been there!" she cried in her hands.
"You're the Hokage you can't be several places at once… I knew you were in a meeting with the Kazekage negotiating for peace." Began Jiraya. "He is alive and that is what is important." Tsunade nodded but continued to have soft sobs. What Jiraya feared was the response that Naruto would have when he woke up and what his thoughts of the villagers would be…
"Shikamaru!!!" cried Ino. She jumped into his arms hugging him tightly.
"Oy! Ino that kinda hurts! I'm not fully healed yet!" he shouted… "Girls are so troublesome…" But his features soon softened when Ino continued to cry on his Chuunin vest. "Are you alright?"
"I was so worried about you and Choji!" she said without taking her face away from his vest. "I know I don't act like I care but you two are very important to me!"
Shikamaru looked down at her blond hair and began to rub her back slowly to comfort her. She slowly looked up at him and went up on her tip-toes to kiss him softly on the lips wrapping her arms around his neck. He was surprised at first but he soon closed his eyes and wrapped his arms around her waist enjoying the moment as well.
"Don't you love Sasuke?" he asked once they had separated.
"That was just a childish crush." She said still hugging him. "While you and Choji were gone I realized how much I was alone without you. Even though sometimes your ignored me you still talked to me like a true friend and comforted me when I needed someone. That's when I soon realized that I loved you!" Shikamaru felt a strange feeling in his stomach and heart.
"Do I love her as well?" thought Shikamaru. His chain of thoughts were interrupted before they could begin when he felt her lips touch his once again. This time he didn't hesitate to return the kiss…
Hinata had just stepped out of the large room that held Choji, Neji and Kiba. She was happy to see that Kiba and Akamaru were doing just fine. Kiba was also happy that a friend had stopped by to see him. She had a rose in her hand as she continued to walk down the hallway and stopped in front of a door nervous to see the patient inside. She soon found the courage to open the door and step inside. She saw Naruto covered in several bandages and hooked up to several monitors. She filled up a vase full of water and put her single rose in it then set the vase on the small table next to the window. She looked sadly at the blond ninja in front of her.
"I'm sorry that I wasn't there to help you sooner Naruto-kun…" she whispered. She took a chair and sat next to him in silence for a couple hours then had to leave to get home. She knew her father was away at the moment for family business but she still had to be home.
Tsunade soon entered the room as the sun was setting and stood over the sleeping form of Naruto. Her eyes began to well up with tears once again as she bent down and kissed his forehead once again. As she straightened up and began to leave she saw Naruto's closed eyes move a bit.
"Naruto?" she whisprered bending down slightly. "Are you-"
She was interrupted when a hand shot out and grabbed her collar bring her down further. Her eyes were widened in surprise when Naruto's dark face lifted off the soft pillow until it was only a couple inches from the Hokage's face. Naruto's eyes slowly opened showing the surprised Hokage his dark eyes making her very sad. She wanted to see his bright and cheerful eyes more then anything at that moment. What happened next made her eyes widen even more. His eyes suddenly turned red with a black slit in the middle…
"The fifth Hokage of Konoha I presume…" said Naruto in a dark voice.
"Kyuubi?!" whispered Tsunade. Naruto's face was now full of rage as he gripped her collar even tighter.

This is an easy bread pudding recipe. I of course changed it from the original in my quest for the perfect bread pudding hehe. This uses canned peaches making it doable for any time of the year. Serve with Vanilla ice cream or just say to heck with the calories and pour a ton of cream over it.

Havens, Director, Partnership Marketing & Integration, BlogTalkRadio.com.

Still, this newly charted marketing territory has some pitfalls – hear from the experts on how to make it work for you with examples of successful campaigns and tools you can implement yourself.
The panel will be available for an afternoon roundtable to continue with an unscripted discussion of how business of all types can take advantage of this burgeoning technology and marketing platform.
After the Recession: Positioning for 2010 takes place from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the 41 Madison merchandise building located on Madison Square Park.

Jihad! The Musical, which features songs including Building A Bomb Today, and I Wanna Be Like Osama, is expected to open at the Jermyn Street Theatre early in the New Year. It provoked a row when it was first performed at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2007, just five weeks after Muslim fundamentalists drove a blazing car into Glasgow airport.
Ben Scheuer, composer and co-lyricist, said: "I see the show as a comedy that sends up the fear-mongering surrounding the war on terror. I would invite people to come and make their decisions. We are making fun of the US media."
When it was announced the show would be performed in Edinburgh, Ted Brocklebank, culture spokesman for the Scottish Conservatives, said he hoped the "appalling" show would be withdrawn.
Scheuer, 27, who went to Eton, wrote the show with Zoe Samuel, the 27-year-old daughter of Viscount Bearsted, who went to Wycombe Abbey school. The pair met at a Caledonian Society ball held between their schools.

Medical Care
Doctors Should Prescribe Generic Medications Whenever Possible
All clinicians should prescribe generic medications whenever possible as a way to improve adherence to therapy and clinical outcomes while containing costs, the American College of Physicians (ACP) advises in a paper published November 24th 2015 in Annals of Internal Medicine.
A release from ACP quotes ACP President Wayne J. Riley, MD, MPH, MBA, MACP as saying, "While the use of generic drugs has increased over time, clinicians often prescribe more expensive brand name drugs when equally effective, well proven, and less expensive generic versions are available. The use of generic drugs is a High Value Care way to improve health, avoid harms, and eliminate wasteful practices."
In the paper, ACP looked at how often brand name drugs are used when generic versions are available, how the use of generics influences adherence, whether brand names and generics have similar clinical effects, the barriers to increasing the use of generics, and strategies that can be used to promote greater use of generics.
A study of Medicare beneficiaries with diabetes found that the use of brand name drugs for which identical generics are available accounted for 23% to 45% of prescriptions, depending on the class. The study authors estimated that Medicare could save $1.4 billion for patients with diabetes alone by combing generic substitution and therapeutic interchange (dispensing medications that are chemically different but therapeutically similar).
The greater use of generic drugs could motivate better long-term adherence to essential therapies. Higher out-of-pocket costs for patients have consistently been associated with lower rates of long-term medication adherence. Prescriptions for branded drugs are almost twice as likely to be "abandoned" (i.e., never picked up after being filled) than generics.
The vast majority of the peer-reviewed evidence has found that generic drugs are as effective as their branded counterparts regarding clinical outcomes. In contrast to the data for other therapeutic classes, some evidence suggests a lack of equivalence of brand and generic ophthalmic agents.
"ACP recognizes that there are situations where generic substitution is not possible and the use of brand name drugs is clinically appropriate," Dr. Riley said.
Some of the underuse of generic medications is likely the result of patient and physician perceptions about the safety and a perceived lack of efficacy of the lower cost options. Patients may also associate the lower price of generics with lower levels of effectiveness.
Differences in the physical appearance of generics and their brand name counterparts might also cause confusion among patient. Variations in pill appearance have been associated with higher rates of non-adherence.

A really nice treatment of this classic game. Comes in an imitation pigskin covered briefcase. The mechanical timer and the spring mechanism for determining play outcome were both done away with for this version. There are 2 versions of this with slightly different plays (1987 and 1988). This one is the 1987 version.
The game parts are in EXCELLENT condition. The game includes a complete sets of Offensive, Defensive and Special Teams cards, the NFL playbook, scoring pegs, dice, dice shaker, 10 yard marker and line of scrimmage marker. The game originally came with a felt pouch to store the dice and pegs in, but this is missing. The instruction booklet has a few light stains and other general reading wear. The play cards are in nice shape. Overall I would grade the game parts 7 on a 10 scale (see condition guide below).
The outer cardboard slip case is in EXCELLENT condition. There are a few small stains, and some creasing in the sides, but overall nice shape. The briefcase is in EXCELLENT condition. It does have a few small smudges, but no cuts, writing or other markings. Hinges and clasps in perfect working order. I would grade it 7 on a 10 scale (see condition guide below).
MINT (10): I will only give this grade to brand new, unused items. NEAR MINT (9): Shows virtually no use. Seldom if ever played. Perhaps some very light handling creases to the instructions or other minor flaws with the game parts. Boxes will have only the slightest hint of shelf wear. EXCELLENT (7-8): The game has seen some use but it was obviously well taken care of. Game parts might have some light handling creases or other signs of careful use. Board might have just a hint of color loss or dented corners. Boxes will have light rubbing to the artwork or perhaps some minor dishing or a very light stain. VERY GOOD (5-6): The game was not especially well cared for but it still has faired pretty well. Game parts will show obvious use but nothing will be torn, badly stained or have any serious damage. Box may have some rubbing, light staining, dishing, 1 or 2 neatly split corners, minor writing and/or a few pieces of tape. No major structural damage and artwork will still be generally attractive. GOOD (3-4): Obviously no care was taken with the game but it is still playable as is. Game parts show considerable use but the game is complete with all parts in usable condition. Box may have staining, writing, split corners, dishing and/or other structural damage but it will be intact and still usable. POOR (1-2): Only suitable to fill a space in your collection. Game will be missing parts (these will be noted). Box will have serious damage and may be missing aprons or badly torn.

Jaw growth and replacement in Ophryotrocha labronica (Polychaeta, Dorvilleidae)
- First Online:
- Received:
- Accepted:
- Citations
- 102 Downloads
Ophryotrocha labronica, as typical for Eunicida, has a complex jaw apparatus consisting of ventral mandibles and dorsal maxillae. Mandibles are not replaced but are retained throughout life. Larval mandibles have adult-sized cutting plates but their proximal shafts lengthen and enlarge as the worm grows. The maxillary apparatus of O. labronica undergoes three moults or replacements. The initial, or larval maxillae, consisting of two paired basal plates and two paired free denticles, develop in the unreleased larvae. They are replaced in the 5-setiger juvenile by the P1-maxillae consisting of falcate forceps and six denticles. The second moult occurs in the 8- to 9-setiger juveniles and results in the P2-maxillae with bidentate forceps and seven denticles, and the third and final moult results in the K-maxillae and seven denticles. The K-maxillae develop in 9- to 12-setiger males and 13- to 15-setiger females and are not replaced but enlarge proximally. Thus the K-forceps can be traced back through the P2-forceps, P1-forceps, to the larval basal plates, indicating the apomorphic state of the K-forceps. Three pulp cavities, separated by darker fusion lines are visible in weakly sclerotised young K-forceps suggesting the fusion of three separate elements. It is concluded that the Ophryotrocha forceps are homologous to the superior and probably inferior basal plates of other dorvilleids. The internal structure of the Ophryotrocha forceps demonstrates that they are not homologous to the labidognath maxilla I as has been suggested.

A list of events from 1801 to 1850 in the No Napoleon timeline.
New beginnings
The plot of the 20 Vendemiaire in France was a major turning point in the history of France, which had taken place in 1800. The plot replaced the semi-autocratic French Directory with a presidential system with free elections. Inspired by the United States, which itself gained independence from the British Empire a mere seventeen years prior, the French system elected a president every four years, renewable once, based on electoral districts of varying size depending on the population. Clergyman and politician Emmanuel Sieyès, the leader of the 20 Vendemiaire plot, was elected the first president of France in an overwhelming victory, and went on two serve two full terms in office. He helped coordinate the French government with those of the French client states, which had previously had semi-autocratic Directories themselves. This was a pivotal role played by the President for the fact that many in the newly-formed government feared the powers of Europe would attempt to free the client states from France's influence. Sieyès granted the client states elections for a Prime Minister, who would in turn answer to the President, but still gave some autonomy to these states.
The French republic had been, since the end of the French Revolution, practically isolationist. It had extended its influence in Italy and the Low Countries, but had become a "stranger in a strange land"; France and her client states were the only republican entities in Europe, surrounded by vast imperialistic and monarchist states. France was forced to comply to the restrictions of their borders and not violently impose her newly found democratic ideals upon other European states, or else a second war would be declared; with the state they were in after the French revolution, the French were not particularly interested in further warfare. Notably, the restriction caused an international incident in 1801 as a result of the official addition (which many regarded as an "illegal annexation") of the unrecognized Cisrhenian Republic into mainland France, which had, for years, been seen as a part of mainland France since the signing of the treaty, but was never formally agreed upon. The diplomacy of the French republic was successful in ensuring no agreements of the treaty were broken, and the state was effectively part of France by 1802.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the world, conflict was continuing to develop in the colony of Saint-Domingue (today known as Haiti). Revolts occurred in the colony over the issue of slavery; Saint-Domingue had an overwhelmingly large population of black slaves, which outnumbered whites by ten to one. France officially abolished slavery in all her possessions as per the constitutions of 1793 and 1795. The abolition of slavery was praised by many as an indication of the triumph of liberty and freedom, and was viewed as an example for other nations to follow. In order to avoid further conflict between former slaves and the government, France legally recognized the freedom of all former slaves living in Haiti, and allowed for free elections in the nation (similar to that of the French client states), while still being a colony and not officially gaining independence as a result of their rebellion. Toussaint L'Ouverture, a former slave and revered commander of the revolution, sided with France in the decision, helped to keep the peace among the people, and went on to elected Prime Minister in 1801.
Uprisings in the Balkans
It did not take long for revolutions to occur elsewhere in Europe as a result of the successful French Revolution. While the great powers were effectively free from republican rebellions of that nature for several decades, territories in the Balkans revolted against the rule of the Ottoman Empire. The entirety of the Balkans were under Ottoman rule for nearly three centuries, but regional problems, minor military clashes and attacks on civilians, along with the news of the success of the French Revolutions, were inspiration for thousands who felt oppressed and wanted a better future.
In 1804, Serbian nationalists revolted against Ottoman rule within OTL-central-Serbia, occurring directly after Ottoman troops invaded a village and killed several of its citizens. The uprising was initially small and localized, and did not get much following, but grew in strength with the entrance of Russia in 1806. To France, Russia's entrance in the war was concerning, as Russia had always been after Ottoman territory and generally considered itself the ruler of the Slavs in the Balkans. The expansion of Russia into Balkan territory would, to France, threaten the balance of power in Europe, and also was a threat to the French presence in the Ionian Islands. While the French stayed neutral, French ambassadors in the Ottoman court urged the Ottomans to make peace with Russia and the rebels, and give Serbia some autonomy to avoid further conflict. In 1809, Serbia became an autonomous state of the Ottoman Empire under a prince as the Principality of Serbia. It was alongside the vassal state of Wallachia, which had enjoyed semi-independence from the 15th century.
The Serbian uprising would not be the last, however. Several years later, in 1814, Greek rebels in the Morea likewise rebelled against Ottoman rule, and protests would grow within the lower Balkans as well as the Ionian Islands. The islands, however, were under administrative rule of the French republic as départments, and France was forced to enter the war to put down the rebellions and lead to some compromise. This was especially necessary as the United Kingdom and Russia joined in naval engagements on the side of the Greek rebels against the Ottoman Empire. The revolution was opposed by the Ottoman Empire, and much naval assistance was given by the elayet of Egypt. However, on the advice of France, the Ottoman Empire called for a truce, and the nation of Greece was officially formed in 1816 with the union of Morea and the Ionian Islands. Fierce debates over governance ensued between the French and British-Russian coalition, but ultimately it was decided that Greece be a constitutional monarchy with a similar political system to that of Britain; like Serbia, the nation was still essentially under the sovereignty of the Ottoman Empire, but given the right to self-rule.
Adventures in Asia
The Prince of Persia
Persian Emperor Fat'h-Ali Shah Qajar had grown quite discontent with British support against the Russians in Asia during the Great Game. The recent Russo-Persian Wars had caused harsh territorial concessions, and the British had little to show for it. Fat'h Ali withdrew from Persia's relations with the British, and instead turned to the French. Ali was enticed by the fact the revolutionaries had defeated much of Europe and conquered several pieces of land, and despite its isolation, was a force to be reckoned with. More importantly, France's political engagements with Russia, and its reluctance for Russia to grow its influence in the Balkans, gave the Shah hope that France could be of use to stop Russia growing its influence in Asia.
In 1828, the Emperor sent trade relations to president Joseph Bonaparte, who was initially reluctant to accept the offer considering France already had a major ally in the region, the Ottoman Empire. His successor, President Pierre François Tissot, officially opened relations with Persia, and the two nations set up embassies. After much discussion, Fat'h Ali proclaimed his wish to restore Persia to her former glory; the first step would be to restore the land to the extent of the Afsharid dynasty, which included the regions of the Caucasus, much of Central Asia, and Afghanistan. He felt that while regaining its territory from Russia would be more favorable, successfully conquering the Afghan state would prove that Persia was a force to be reckoned with.
By 1834, the two leaders agreed it was in the best interest of Persia to invade (and conquer) the Durrani Empire. The reasons were of course numerous and complicated: this included the French seeking relative peace among the Persians and Ottomans (the two great Muslim powers of the time, and so having Persia invade Afghanistan allowed Persians to expand east instead of west); spiting the Russians for Persia's losses in the Caucasus; "protecting" the British Indian colonies from Russian invasion, which would help to ensure the British did not side against the Persians; and begin an era of reformation for the Persian Empire. On April 8, Persia (with some aid from the French) declared war on the Durrani Empire.
Just as the Emperor had suspected, the British Empire aided the Persians and French in the conquering of the Afghan state, in order to increase the territorial possessions in India as well as ensure that the colonies were safe from Russian invasion. Opening hostilities by the Persians were raids on the city of Herat, one of the largest cities at the time. British troops from Baluchistan, Punjab and Kashmir had attacked the Afghan state from the Hindu Kush ranges, aiming to capture Kabul. Afghanistan was forced into a two-front war, with only limited assistance from the Russian Empire.
The war continued for three years; Fat'h-Ali had passed away, and was succeeded by his son, Mohammad Shah Qajar. His troops were able to capture Herat in 1836, which was a maor turning point in the war. By 1837, Dost Mohammad Khan of the newly-created Barakzai dynasty was captured in Kabul by joint-Persian and British forces, and the Durrani Empire surrendered. The Treaty of Kerman was signed in February, which had officially dissolved the Afghan state into Persia and British India. The war was a success, and the Persian Shah was sure that his armies would be able to expand back into the territories it lost to Russia in the early 1800s.
French Orientalism
Springtime of Nations
The Revolutions of 1845, also called the Springtime of Nations, was arguably the most important turning point in the 19th century. The conflicts were a direct result of colonialism, dreams of nationalism, the spark of interest in democracy and republicanism, and a result of decades of unresolved tension between the people and their governments, and even between nations themselves. It was unique in that localized peaceful protests with some isolated uprisings spread from mainland Europe to nations around the world, from North to South America, Africa, through to Asia, and even making its way to Australia.
Underlying the conflicts between states were the plights of the common people. It was increasingly clear, with the prosperity France and other republican nations enjoyed, that monarchism was not an effective or useful form of government. These new, radical ideas, including liberalism, nationalism, and democracy, were inspiring people from all over Europe to end the harsh cold winds from the winter that was monarchism, and a dream of spring that was democracy. Along with inspiration from political ideologies, the people were angered by recent crop failures, droughts, famine, and minor outbreaks of disease that was occurring across Europe, as well as the lack of assistance from nobility.
The revolutions officially began in March 1845 within the dying Holy Roman Empire. The Empire was being torn apart from the inside, with its Emperor an emperor only in name, with many smaller nations fighting for more influence in the empire, and others wanting complete independence. It had been the aim of the last Emperor, Emperor Frederick, a noble from the Kingdom of Prussia, to better centralize the Empire in order to stop divisive internal conflicts and focus on a bigger picture, the expansion of German influence in Europe and even the world. This aim would inevitably be the death of the Empire, especially after the Emperor tried to overrule governments and impose new (arguably illegal) laws and taxations.
As a result, major uprisings occurred throughout the Empire, and many nations cut ties with the Emperor and seceded from the Empire. Not only did dozens of nations find themselves independent, but they also found themselves swallowing up smaller bishoprics, duchies, and principalities that were powerless without large-standing armies. However, the fight for these territories would end up being bloodier than expected. Meanwhile, despite many finding pride in being free from a united German state and finding their own regional power, the "great powers" in the Empire, Austria and Prussia, were less intent on breaking up the Empire. Both had realized the benefits of a potential single German state, and joined the fighting to try to save the remnants of the Empire.
In eastern Europe, the uprisings were especially popular with the lower classes and nationalists movements. In western Prussia, there were some demonstrations in major cities of citizens both in favour of and against a unified German state in place of the soon-to-be-defunct Holy Roman Empire. Along with these were anti-monarchy protests, mainly from youth groups, who wanted to mirror the success of France and its international presence, which was not being demonstrated with the current government. In eastern Prussia, there were major uprisings from Polish citizens that had been a part of the Kingdom since the partition of Poland nearly one hundred years prior, seeking an independent Polish state. Similar Polish uprisings occurred in the Empire of Russia, alongside minor serf and peasant uprisings mostly in western Russia. In the Habsburg Empire, a nation composed of numerous ethnic groups also found nationalist uprisings, threatening to tear the nation apart. In the Balkans, the Ottoman Empire once again faced armed uprisings from many ethnic groups in Ottoman-controlled region, seeking to break apart from the Muslim nation and add the territory to their homeland instead. However, with Russia occupied in putting down rebellions in her own nation, less aid was sent to the Balkans than they had in the past, and their attempts were less successful than would have been hoped.
In western Europe, France was dealing with a political revolution. For decades France lived in peace alongside its republican neighbours, nations that were under the protection of France. Yet, many citizens and politicians in these client republics found that they could not reconcile their republican values with being practically under the sovereignty and supervision of the French state. While the nations were practically completely independent and free to create their own laws, have independent parliaments, and even have their own oversees colonies (notably the Batavian Republic), many still preferred to be free of client-republic status and have complete independence from France. As a result, protests in major cities of the client republics, and even boycotts of French products, occurred, and changed the minds of many politicians on the status of their states with regards to France.
The revolutions arguably hit the Kingdom of Spain the hardest; for years, the large overseas Empire was collapsing under its own weight, and had incredible debt despite the vast amount of resources available to it. Worse yet, Queen Isabel II of Spain's policies were ill-advised, and the monarchist government was leading the Empire down a road of debt and self-destruction. At the same time, republican ideals from France had been spreading to the Kingdom for years, and was influencing many citizens, mainly of lower class. As a result, Spain found herself in the midst of revolution in an attempt to overthrow the monarchy and replace the kingdom with a republic. Despite the abdication of the Queen, full-out warfare occurred being monarchist and republican supporters, effectively tearing the country apart and leading to the inevitable spread of the revolution to the Spanish colonies.
Great Britain felt the waves of the revolution at home; many minor protests occurred throughout England against the government, with various complaints including labor rights, standards of living, etc., and called for a change in government. Some sparse protests occurred against the monarchy of the United Kingdom, calling instead for republicanism. As it were, many of the protesters' demands were met; the Prime Minister would later resign, and a new election would see the replacement of the Conservative Party with the Whig Party as a majority government. Meanwhile, in Ireland, famine and the lack of response from the British government (which was mostly focused on the overseas colonies) led to mass protests and small uprisings concentrated in major cities, calling for the independence of the island of Ireland as a republic.
South America

North America
The revolutions soon spread to North America as a result of the revolutions in South America. The Viceroyalty of New Spain, the largest colony of the Spanish Empire, was nominally allied to the monarchy of Spain during its revolution, but problems with the United States and the lack of confidence in the mother country would change that. The largest problem facing New Spain in the mid-19th century before the revolution was population. Surely, New Spain had a large population that lived mainly in the south (i.e., modern-day Mexico and Central America), the lands of California and Louisiana had relatively-low populations. Spain would often pay families and farmers to move north into these territories, and as a result Louisiana was mainly settled by Spanish farmers, as well as French settlers that lived in the region since it was colonized by France.
Yet even with these offers of land and money, the population was not growing fast enough. As a result, for decades the government of New Spain opened their borders to Louisiana to allow settlements from people of other nations, in order to increase the population. For instance, in the early 1800s, several hundred royalists who fled France after the revolution found sanctuary in the territory and settled in French-dominated settlements. However, the majority of the new population came from New Mexico's eastern neighbor, the United States. Louisiana experienced a population boom, which was initially a good thing for the colony.
However, after decades of American settlement, the Louisiana territory had a majority-American population. The population of Louisiana no longer identified as a part of a Spanish colony, but instead wished to be identified as American citizens in an American territory. As the Springtime of Nations reached the Spanish American colonies, residents of Louisiana found it the perfect opportunity to declare independence from Spain and instead to join the United States. As a result, a rebellion against the government occurred, which escalated into armed conflict within months. The conflict, and the resulting entrance of the United States in the war, was later known later as the Louisiana War, a major part of the revolutions within the colonies of the Kingdom of Spain.
Similarly, the revolution soon spread to the great white north, as dissent grew mostly concerning the governing of the Canadian colonies. A majority of the protests came in Lower Canada (modern-day Quebec), as a result of years of dreaming of independence (inspired by the revolutions in France). This was especially worrisome for Great Britain; for years, Britain and the United States had conflict stemming from the American Declaration of Independence almost a century prior. And with the States entering into war with the Spanish Empire over the massive piece of land that was Louisiana, the British knew something had to be done so that Canada would be free from American expansion.
Unfortunately, troubles within the entire British Empire were not helping Britain's efforts in Canada. With protests and minor conflicts in India, Africa, Australasia, North America, and now new conflicts within the British Isles themselves, the Canadian government was forced to essentially handle the dissent themselves. This did not go over as planned, however. The independence movements, mainly with their origins in Niagara and some influence in Toronto, were quickly gaining ground. With some financial and military assistance from the United States, independence movements were successfully able to unite Upper and Lower Canada into the Republic of Canada, which gained independence from the British Empire shortly after. The news came as a shock to the British, who felt defeated by the growing threat of the United States government, a government in this timeline that was not "burdened" by the Monroe Doctrine.
By 1847, less than two years after the start of the revolutions worldwide, Louisiana was officially free from the Spanish Empire as a New Spanish territory, and recognized as instead as a territory of the United States. Along with the Louisiana territory, the United States was given the territory of Florida, a land disputed over between the United States and Spain for decades. Soon, the United States also recognized the independence of the Kingdom of Mexico from the Kingdom of Spain, which spanned from California to Central America. Within two years, America managed to effectively double in size.
After the independence of the united Upper and Lower Canada dominion in 1847, major parliamentary disputes over governance, of the new nation was beginning to tear the nation apart. Soon enough, in May 1848, in the midst of revolutionary chaos, Lower Canada officially seceded from the dominion, forming the independent Republic of Quebec. The government of Upper Canada, on the other hand, found itself in the middle of a rock and a hard place. To the north Upper Canada was bordered by Rupert's Land, a large colony of the United Kingdom, and to the south was the expansionist United States, which at this point had just absorbed the Spanish territory of Louisiana. Upper Canada, small in population and with a weak army at this point, was likely destined to be reabsorbed by Great Britain once the worldwide revolutions were complete. So, to avoid such a fate, Upper Canada shared a similar fate as Louisiana: joining the United States as new territory.
Asia and Africa
In the subcontinent of India, several states, many of which that were historically aligned to the British presence, found themselves in rebellion against the company rule. The Company's recent financial troubles due to recent famines in many Indian territories was not helping matters either. Many cities were able to overthrow their local company rules, but the British government decided to take matters into their own hands; India was far too valuable a colony to have it seen fall from its grasp. Much financial and territorial aid was given to the British troops to ensure that the rebellions were put down. As a direct result of the rebellion, the British government ended company rule in India, and made many political and territorial changes in India to try to avoid major uprisings like this happening again.

While in the shower this morning after a rough past two days, I had an epiphany. Mom judgement has a pattern. We all do it, we all know the other moms are judging us, but until this morning, I wasn't really aware of the cycle of stones and blind spots. Let me explain:
Friend A has a 5 year old daughter. This little girl, while adorable, hides a secret disdain for food. There's a grocery list less than 10 items long of what she will eat. When meal time rolls around she will throw epic tantrums, make herself sick, and ultimately, will not eat. Friend A has complained about this food aversion to me many times, most sprinkled with tears of frustration. However, Friend A has major food aversions herself. Her daughter didn't eat actual solid food until she was well over a year old because Friend A has a fear of her daughter choking. Ask any of her friends (myself included) and we all agree her daughter behaves this way around food because Friend A has conditioned it through her own behavior and blind spot. That's right, blind spot. Friend A throws this all into the "nature" column and firmly believes her daughter was just born this way.
Enter Friend B. Her 3 year old daughter has never spent a moment without her beloved pacifier. She removes it between bites, but that is about the extent of it. As a result, her daughter has severe speech delays. My Marchie has a larger vocabulary and communicates more effectively than her does. Friend B, true to blind spot form, just shrugs her shoulders and blames that nasty beast: nature. Though she complains constantly about it, she is no match for her daughter's obsession with the bink, or so she says. Once again, all of her friends (myself included) see this problem for what it is, and what it most certainly isn't. We all are positive that we could do it better were we in her shoes.
Friend A and Friend B LOVE to throw stones at each other about their parenting fails while the other has their back turned. Both will defend their own parenting blind spots as a direct result of forces beyond their own control.
I'm not completely oblivious. I realize that I must also have a blind spot that they harp on as well. And I do. My child is a screamer. No matter where we are, what time of day, what the weather is, how entertaining Elmo is, my Marchie screams. All. The. Time. I'm at my wits end with trying to find ways to quiet my shrieking babe, but I have entered blind spot central and begun to blame it on nature. Oh, and I can not forget that DD (dear daughter) is a totally different child with DH (dear husband) than with me. I've even yelled at him that is it his fault that she is better with him than me because I was unable to take responsibility for the fact that I have trained her to behave the way she does. She must have been wired in the womb to be naughtier with Mama...
Today I came to terms with the internal battle parents wage with assuming the responsibility of nuture, or shirking items off into the nature column when we are out of ideas. It can't possibly be our fault, right? Obviously it is. Granted, there are many things that actually are caused by nature. I think that they are fewer than we care to believe.
The next time Friend A or Friend B starts in on the other, I'm going to bite my tongue and remember that I have no right to throw stones since my own house isn't eactly in order.
So, what are your blind spots? What have you elected to believe is beyond your influence as a parent?
