Pharmaceutical production in developing countries
In Perspective
While health is a crucially important social and economic asset, both infectious and non-communicable diseases pose a major threat to the well-being and prosperity of populations particularly in developing and least developed countries. The disease burden and the attendant human suffering could be alleviated substantially if appropriate and affordable medicines were readily available to treat patients in need.
At the same time, there is growing recognition of the strategic benefits that could be derived in terms of health outcomes and economic growth if the medicine requirements in low-income countries were increasingly satisfied by local pharmaceutical industries with sustainable and high quality production capabilities.
The Project
With financial support of the Government of Germany, UNIDO is running a project that aims at strengthening the local production of essential medicines in developing countries. Although the project's scope is not subjected to geographical restrictions, Sub-Saharan Africa has evolved as a focus area.
Local pharmaceutical production is faced by a complex set of challenges related to technical aspects of manufacturing and regulation but also originating from the wider operating and business environment. In response to this, UNIDO draws on a combination of advisory, institutional capacity-building and enterprise-level activities. The assistance is positioned at the interface between industrial development and public health, and recognizes that these two agendas are mutually reinforcing.
Project Approach
Institutional level
The project assists pharmaceutical manufacturers by working with various institutions of relevance for the sector. Services range from specialized training programmes in industrial pharmacy to business membership organizations conducting advocacy activities on behalf of member companies. The project also provides support to medicines regulatory authorities and quality control laboratories.
Enterprise level
The project offers support to companies in assessing feasibility and economic viability of the production of quality medicines. To support manufacturers in their upgrading and expansion efforts, a number of actionable tools and solutions have been designed that can be adjusted to various settings and scales of deployment.
Featured Publication
Commercialising vaccines: A methodology to identify potential market opportunities and conduct outline assessments

Rated 5 out of 5 by smittycdm from Crazy, This Makes the Best Asparagus! I had some $ leftover on a GC so I bought this on a whim. Oh my gosh! We are big asparagus eaters & let me tell you, this makes perfect asp! Hint: don't put too much water in the 'pan'. And if your asp is not 75%+ fresh, you won't need much cooking time. We've used this at least 8-10 times in the last three weeks!Date published: 2017-04-08Rated 5 out of 5 by Dahleen from Adorable and Functional This pot is the cutest thing ever. It's beautiful, shiny, sturdy and most of all functional. I placed 6 eggs in the basket. I could have placed a dozen or more. I put the basket in the pot, filled with water placed the lid and in 6 minutes it was boiling. Because of the shape the eggs weren't bouncing off each other and breaking. Looks fab on the stove and has multiple uses. The basket is such a great idea.Date published: 2016-06-23Rated 4 out of 5 by GILI from You NEED this pot! I bought this pot to replace a similar, colorful pot that I got on T.V. that went bad within a few months. I knew that I needed stainless steel with no coating. I use this to boil eggs, steam corn on the cob and any vegetables. It stays on my stove and I couldn't do without it. Don't hesitate to buy this. Asparagus pots are not as common as you think. Also, it cooks a lot of food in a small vertical space.Date published: 2015-08-18Rated 5 out of 5 by KColeman from For more than just Asparagus I love this small pot. It receives a lot of use in my kitchen. You can use it to steam clams/mussels as well as cooking corn on the cob and hard-boiling eggs in addition to asparagus. I suppose you could also use it to cook hot dogs although we typically grill our bison hotdogs. It is a narrow but tall pot that can fit even in the most cramped (like mine) kitchens. This would be a great gift for a housewarming or bridal shower as it is not something that people would typically think of. You could put some silicon spatulas wrapped in a kitchen towel and washcloth or other utensils in it or put it as part of a chef's basket with other goodies including some fresh veg for a dinner night.Date published: 2015-05-06Rated 5 out of 5 by sunshinehope from New addition! The latest addition to my small collection of ALL-CLAD is this great asparagus pot! Always wanted one, and that $10.coupon clinched it! Beautiful and high quality just like all of the pieces! Really professional!Date published: 2015-02-28Rated 5 out of 5 by KarlO from Great for veggies & !!!!!! I have yet to use it for asparagus. It' a main stay for quick, healthy veggie and light protein meals when I'm on my own. Big enough for a mini New England Clam Bake for two!Date published: 2012-06-13
Is the asparagus pot induction compatible?Hi George, This asparagus pot is not induction compatible.Date published: 2018-12-05

What's so special about this mini skirt? It's MULTICULTI!! I bought the pattern in Sicily, Italy, sewed it in Switzerland and shooted it in London!! And last but not least, the model ist my sweetie-daughter, whom I made the skirt for. The shooting was all but easy… crowds of people just visited the Tower Bridge, the light was bad (very cloudy as for London this is nothing new…:-) and it was freezing cold! But hey, we managed it somehow through the urban jungle and, are happy with the result. So back to the pattern: I got it out of an Italian magazine called Cartamodelli. They are not on the Internet so I cannot put any link on it but I have made a picture for you on my blog. So in case you travel to Italy next :-) The challenge here was to understand the Italian description although I speak Italian I still had to look up some specialist terms, and sometimes just guessed.
So for the style I suggest to wear this cute skirt with leggins, since it is reeeallly short you'll be just comfortable. We present it all in black here but I'm sure it would look fantastic combined with neon colors as well. The detail I like most: the top layer gets thinner on the right side until it kind of dissapears into the waistband. As for the fabric I used a thick crpe in a shimmery black so the layers would stand out a little. So let me know if you like my new creation and comment below and/or follow me and comment on my social networks! I'll see you in my next post. Bye!!

This grilling method moistens the meat from the inside out ... you will not believe how juicy the bird ends up being doing it this way AND with just a VERY SUBTLE hint of lemon - almost un-noticeable ... guests who have never eaten turkey prepared this way swear they have never eaten such a juicy bird !
That sounds seriously good.

WHAT IT IS: The city of Newton's 2013 budget for the water division of the department of public works. The budget is up from the 2012 adopted budget of $4.52 million and the 2011 budget of $4.4 million. The department will bring in an estimated $5.14 million in revenue this year.
DEPARTMENT STATS: The city's water department provides drinking water to community members and water supplies for fire protection. The city's water treatment plant processes about 2.2 million gallons of ground water per day pumped from 14 wells in the Equus Beds. Treatment includes chlorine, fluoride, sodium bicarbonate and caustic soda for pH adjustment. The department's infrastructure includes four 500,000 gallon water towers and a 3.6 million gallon storage tank. The city will pump an estimated 900 million gallons of water in 2013.
BUDGET BREAKOUT: Some of the line items in the department's 2013 budget are: - Personnel services: $1.71 million (The department has the equivalent of 14 full-time staff members; positions include water plant supervisor, service technician, waterworks maintenance workers and two waterworks meter readers.) *Note: Personnel services also includes additional administrative personnel costs city-wide. - Contractual services: $1.24 million - Commodities and supplies: $164,500 - Vehicle operating: $100,000 - Capital outlay: $50,000 - Transfers: $3.13 million
2013 OBJECTIVES: Projects slated for the coming year include evaluating and repairing the roof at the First Street booster station and continuing the meter change out program, including upgrades to automatic read abilities. Weather continues to be a challenge for the department, with very dry or very wet weather generally leading to water main breaks.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Dec. 27, 2007) - ETSU men's basketball coach Murry Bartow announced Thursday that sophomore post Blake Mishler (Metamora, Ill.) has decided to transfer.
"We wish Blake nothing but the best," said Bartow, whose team is 5-7 on the season and preparing to return to non-conference play Sunday at home against Appalachian State. "It was simply a family decision. He's very homesick and wants to be closer to home."
Mishler, a 6-foot-8, 220-pound forward, had played in 11 of the Bucs' 12 games this season, averaging 10.5 minutes of floor time, scoring 2.7 points and grabbing 2.0 rebounds a game. He said the move was simply a personal decision.
"I really like the coaches, the area and the fans, but I personally felt like it would be better for me to be closer to home," Mishler said. "I wish the team the best. I hope they repeat as champions this year and make the NCAAs."
The Bucs, whose tough non-conference slate ranks 28th nationally in strength of schedule, will tip off against Appalachian State at 3 p.m. Sunday. Fans unable to attend the game can listen on the MSHA Buccaneer Sports Network, and the contest will be available live on video streaming at ASun.TV.

Bucknell takes down Army 73-61
LEWISBURG, Pa. (AP) Cameron Ayers scored 22 points and Bucknell avenged a loss to Army earlier in the season with a 73-61 win on Saturday night.
Bucknell (12-13, 7-7 Patriot League) closed the game on an 18-9 run, which included nine straight points from Ayers, to pull away from Army (12-13, 8-6).
Ayers hit a 3-pointer to break a tie at 52 and Bucknell did not surrender the lead from that point forward. John Azzinaro and Brian Fitzpatrick added 3-pointers to open a 61-54 lead, and Army couldn't cut the deficit to fewer than six points the rest of the way.
Bucknell hit 7 of 8 free throws over the final 1:32 to preserve the win as Army struggled to score down the stretch.
Fitzpatrick and Chris Hass added 15 points apiece for the Bison.
Tanner Omlid scored 12 points to lead the Black Knights.

IXEurope represents the datacentre industry at Orbit-iEX event 07
IXEurope has announced its participation as a sponsor at the Orbit-iEX exhibition to be held 22 - 25 May at the Zurich Exhibition Centre.
IXEurope, Europe's specialist datacentre services company, has announced its participation as a sponsor at the Orbit-iEX exhibition to be held 22 - 25 May at the Zurich Exhibition Centre.
Zurich Orbit-iEX has established itself as the biggest IT exhibition in Switzerland, since the Orbit event in Basel merged with the iEX in Zurich several years ago. The event is the Swiss business platform for Information and Communication Technology and is living testament to the growth and increasing convergence of these industries.
This is the second year that IXEurope is staging a professional exhibition, presentation and networking platform - the ICT Solution Park @ Orbit-iEX. IXEurope has teamed up with Dominik Hunziker of eSystems and Rianne Biesters of Infotalks to bring together over 50 exhibitors from the Swiss IT and telecommunication industry at this unique platform.
The event promises to be a major success in promoting IT solutions in the Swiss market, offering several options from workstations to individual booths. There will also be a networking party taking place every evening, which attracted more than 550 people each night at last year's event.
Frits van der Graaff, General Manager of IXEurope in Switzerland comments: "We are delighted to stage this unique solution showcase and provide a forum for companies to share services, knowledge and expertise with other leading players from the Swiss IT scene. We are also pleased to welcome our first sponsors to the event - AV-Distribution who will provide all video projection facilities and Megatron who will provide flat-panel displays across the Solution Park zone."
According to Giancarlo Palmisani, manager of Orbit-iXE, it is expected that there will be 20% more exhibitors at the Solution Park compared to last year. The ICT Solution Park was so successful last year that renowned solutions providers including green.ch, tic, BrÜco, Firebuster, EWZ, Institute for Applied Information Technology InIT/ZHW, KnÜrr, Allied Telesys and Cablecom have already joined the ICT Solution Park, whilst many more are about to sign the contract.
Editors Notes
There will be a press conference held by Reed Exhibitions from 09.00 until 11.00 on Tuesday 22 May in the ICT Solution Park. Contact Sandra Schwarz on 41 (0) 44 806 33 45 or at email@example.com for further information.

Khartoum, Sudan (PANA) - The Sudanese First Vice President and President of Government of Southern Sudan, Gen. Salva Kiir Mayardit, was the first southerner to vote in the regional capital of Juba Sunday as voting got underway in Sudan's referendum.
Hundreds of thousand of southerners in southern and northern Sudan headed to polling stations on the first day of the referendum, which will decide after five days whether Sudan will remain united or be divided.
In Khartoum, apparently apprehensive southerners were slow in going to the polling stations, which all have a strong police presence to assure them that they would not be harassed or intimidated.
''We have toured a number of centres and everything is going well, and if things continue this way I think we will see a smooth referendum,'' said the official spokesperson for the Southern Sudan Referendum Commission (SSRC), Suaad Eissa.
In one voting centre in downtown Khartoum, where over 900 southerners had registered, only 70 turned out to vote in the first three hours.
In the Izaiba area, some 17 representatives of local and international observer teams were present, following every move taken inside the centre.
The Carter Centre, the European Commission, the African Union, the League of Arab States all have deployed observers at the polling centres.
President Omar Al-Bashir has repeatedly said he will see to it that voters are protected and that no pressure is exercised on them. He also promised to accept the outcome of the voting, whether it is unity or separation.
However, President Al-Bashir has warned that he would apply the stipulations of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA), to the effect that if southerners chose separation, then the 20% of the jobs they occupy in the federal government will automatically drop and they have to leave their posts.
But some of those who voted for unity told reporters at the voting centre that even if the majority vote for separation, they would still leave their government jobs and stay in the north, working in the private sector.
"It is not a question of unity or separation, it is a question of my family, I have seven children born here and are at the universities and schools, they learn in Arabic…you want me to tear them and take them where they could end up with street children, because they cannot continue their education," John Mabier, a federal government functionary, told reporters after casting his vote.
Observers believe that southerners in the south will vote overwhelmingly for separation.
Early in the morning, they were shown on local TV stations dancing and kissing the ballot papers.
Voting began at exactly 8:00 am local time and is set to continue up to 5:00 pm. The voting will continue till 15 Jan.
According to the SSRC, some 3,930,916 voters will take part in the process, including 3,753,815 in the south, 116,860 in the north and 60,241abroad.
The commission said the result of the referendum would be acceptable if the turnout exceeded 60% of the registered voters, in accordance with the stipulation of the CPA.
The referendum is the last chapter in the CPA signed in 2005, between the government and the then rebel Sudan People's Liberation Movement (SPLM) in Nairobi, Kenya.
The CPA stipulates that the southern Sudanese be given the right to self determination in a plebiscite to be held five years after the implementation of the accord.
"We still don't know the outcome of the vote, but even if southerners chose separation, it would be only a political one. Socially, economically, ethnically, and emotionally you could not separate the north from the south,'' the legal adviser for the Southern SPLM, Mohamed al Mutasem Hatim, told PANA on Sunday.

"One freezing night at the end of February, Dunkel, who is petite, with fluffy gray curls and rosebud lips, was puttering around her kitchen, a large pair of glasses suspended from a sparkly chain around her neck and an apron tied at her waist. She pulled out her old Betty Crocker recipe binder – she has had it since 1962 – and put on her glasses. She opened it to a page, yellow with use, for chocolate chip Toll house cookies. Like many cooks, Dunkel likes to make a recipe her own. Betty Crocker called for half a cup of chopped walnuts. In the margin, in a loopy hand – the penmanship of a girl who grew up on a farm in Wisconsin in the nineteen-fifties – Dunkel had suggested a substitution: 'or fresh roasted crickets'."
That's from the August 15, 2011 issue of the New Yorker. I have been through a rather similar process myself, except in my case I opened a relatively un-aged copy of the Momofuku Milk Bar cookbook, and I chose to adapt the Momofuku peanut butter cookie recipe by removing the 1/2 cup of ground peanut brittle and replacing it with 25g of chapulines – fried, spiced and salted grasshoppers.
Back to Florence Dunkel, who was creating assorted insect-based culinary delights to provide some novel and insightful experiences for her students at Montana State University.
"Dunkel stayed up baking until three. The next day, at Insects and Human Society, she had her students do a honey tasting, reminding them that honey is, of course, the vomit of a bee. Then Ky-Phuong Luong, the T.A., stirred a wok full of vegetables and soy-marinated crickets, and Dunkel passed a plate of fritters with yellowish wax worms protruding from their centers. "We left out the bacon," she said, smiling sweetly. The students talked about ethnocentrism (eighty per cent of the world eats insects with pleasure), sustainability, and the earth's diminishing resources. After a while, they started, tentatively, to eat. A young man in a green wool ski cap said that he would be more enthusiastic if he had some beer to wash the insects down. Standing before a plate of brownies fortified with a mash of sautéed meal worms, he said despondently, 'This is the future! You'll eat worms and like it. You gotta eat something.'"
It's a difficult thing to get your head around if you've grown up in a culture that associates insects with fear and filth, and certainly not with anything even resembling an edible meal. But that's not really an adequate reason to go with the initial knee-jerk "ugh that's gross" reaction and to think no more of it, because consuming insects could play a part in solving a lot of pressing problems regarding food production. The carbon footprint of meat production, the ethics of animal farming and slaughtering, the need to feed an ever-increasing global population – insects could play a part in the solution. To continue quoting with abandon from the New Yorker article, because in one single paragraph it eloquently sums up many of the arguments in favour of eating insects:
"From an ecological perspective, insects have a lot to recommend them. They are renowned for their small "footprint"; being cold-blooded, they are about four time as efficient at converting feed to meat as are cattle, which waste energy keeping themselves warm. Ounce for ounce, many have the same amount of protein as beef – fried grasshoppers have three times as much – and are rich in micronutrients like iron and zinc. Genetically, they are so distant from humans that there is little likelihood of diseases jumping species, as swine flu did. They are natural recyclers, capable of eating old cardboard, manure and by-products from food manufacturing. And insect husbandry is humane: bugs like teeming, and thrive in filthy, crowded conditions."
The whole venture seems to make a decent amount of sense, but once the insects are cleaned and prepared for consumption, it would still require a bit of gentle easing into it all – not going straight for substituting the meat in a stew or casserole with scoops of whole mealworms or something like that, but getting the more hesitant people used to the idea by adding ground mealworms to chocolate or a scattering of fried crickets into a salad, as were offered to supermarket customers in 's-Hertogenbosch in the Netherlands.
Or by encasing some nice little grasshoppers in a delicious cookie.

Holter monitoring is a way to continuously check the electrical activity of the heart. Your child will wear a small device called a Holter monitor for at least 24 to 48 hours. The device constantly checks your child's heart during this time, even while away from the doctor's office. This is different from electrocardiography (ECG). ECG checks the heart for only a few minutes.
Your child's regular healthcare provider will likely refer you to a pediatric cardiologist for this test. This is a doctor with special training to diagnose and treat heart problems in children.
Some reasons for your child's Holter monitoring are:
Holter monitoring is done as follows:
Once the monitoring is complete, you or your healthcare provider will remove the electrodes and monitor from your child. The provider will look at the information from the monitor.
Depending on the results of the monitoring, your child's provider may order other tests.
Before you agree to the test or the procedure for your child make sure you know:

ST. PAUL, Minn.—Gov. Mark Dayton is proposing a 94-cent increase in the state's tax on a pack of cigarettes.
Dayton is releasing his state budget blueprint on Tuesday. It includes a spending increases, and changes to the state tax system including an upper-income tax hike, a property tax rebate and state sales adjustments .
Dayton says he has been reluctant to raise the cigarette tax because it's among the most regressive taxes. That means it falls harder on people with low incomes. But Dayton says he thinks that is ultimately outweighed by the fact that increasing cigarette taxes has been shown to reduce the number of people who smoke.
The state's current cigarette tax rate is $1.58 a pack. Dayton says his proposed increase would make Minnesota's per-pack tax equal to Wisconsin's.

Apple Inc. wants to release an iPhone-like wristwatch in 2013, according to a news report.
The Cupertino tech company has dedicated about 100 product designers to the project, according to Bloomberg News, which cited unnamed sources.
The iWatch, which has been rumored for the last few months, would be able to make calls, show caller ID, check map coordinates, count steps using a pedometer and monitor health-related data using sensors. The device may also run on iOS, Apple's mobile operating system, according to the report.
QUIZ: Test your Apple knowledge
Apple has filed for 79 patents that include the word "wrist" in them, the report says. One of those patents says the device may also have a flexible screen and be powered using kinetic energy.

Stanford Week's Burning Question: Is Dawkins' Seat Warming Up?Posted by Connor Pelton on July 21st, 2012
Pachoops' Adam Butler joins us once again to chime in with his thoughts on our Burning Question. This is now his fourth straight appearance after giving us answers on the programs of Arizona, USC, and Washington. As for Stanford's question, here goes:
Stanford made the NCAA Tournament in 13 out of 14 seasons before current head coach Johnny Dawkins took over in 2008-09. In his four seasons on the Farm, Dawkins has yet to lead the Cardinal back to the Big Dance, which has dropped the program down a step in terms of national prominence. How many more times can he go without dancing before his seat begins to heat up?
Connor Pelton: It's tough to stand out and become a prominent team nationally in college basketball. In college football, an average fan will watch roughly 70 out of 125 FBS teams play at least one game throughout the season. That number is about the same for college basketball, but it's out of 345 Division I teams. If you think of it as a huge pie, there are about 30 large slices, 40 medium slices, and the rest are crumbs. Stanford used to be one of those coveted large slices, one that would without a doubt hear their name called on Selection Sunday year in and year out. But since Dawkins has taken over, the Cardinal have taken a step down to just one of the medium slices. Fans around the nation know who they are, but they don't care enough to stay up until Midnight (on the east coast) to watch them play. The same goes for recruits, and if you find yourself in one of those six or seven-year droughts without going dancing, your four- and five-stars are going to become twos and threes.
With that said, Dawkins was able to pump some life into a program that was a little sleepy by winning the NIT Championship last season. That will buy him some time, if only because he can point to it and say, "Hey, we're on the road back to success." But if he doesn't get back to the promised land within the next two seasons, it might be time to move on in Palo Alto.

After a months-long study, County Executive Ed Mangano has announced his intention to scale down the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum. Last week, Mangano formally issued a request for proposals, seeking a private company to reinvent the Uniondale complex. The plan, according to Mangano, is to downsize the arena from its current 16,000-seat capacity to the vicinity of 10,000 seats.
The RFP is the first major action focusing on the Coliseum since Mangano assembled a team in November to conduct a study on the arena and its surroundings, with the goal of maintaining its status as an economic draw.
There have been several roadblocks in attempts to rebuild the Coliseum site in recent years. An initial venture to build a new arena, funded by New York Islanders owner Charles Wang, was met with strict opposition by Town of Hempstead officials and some residents, and ultimately fell through.
In 2011, voters defeated a referendum calling for a publicly financed arena to replace the Coliseum.
Last October, Wang signed a 25-year lease with the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, where the Islanders will play their home games beginning in 2015. The announcement made it clear that the 41-year-old Coliseum, which brings tens of thousands of visitors to Nassau County during the NHL season, was in need of revitalization.
A month later, Mangano introduced his development team, comprising Wang and Bruce Ratner — who developed the Barclays Center — as a well as Renaissance Downtowns, a development company led by Don Monti, which will conduct a study of the arena to determine the next steps.
According to a county spokeswoman, the study concluded with Ratner advising Mangano that "a scaled-down arena has the ability to be more profitable for the county, while providing more entertainment for residents."

Released Sudanese Christian woman detained at airport
Willie Grace | 6/24/2014, 6 p.m. | Updated on 6/24/2014, 6 p.m.
A Sudanese Christian woman who was sentenced to die for refusing to renounce her faith -- and then released -- was detained with her family on Tuesday as they tried to leave the African country.
Her legal team told CNN that Mariam Yehya Ibrahim, her American husband, Daniel Wani, and their two children were stopped at an airport in Khartoum and interrogated at national security headquarters in the Sudanese capital.
The problem involved what the legal team described as an alleged "irregularity with her documentation," according to Ibrahim's lawyers, who said she was in police custody.
Ibrahim has a U.S. visa and was headed to the United States with her family, her legal team said. The U.S. State Department said the family was stopped at the airport.
"The State Department has been informed by the Sudanese government that the family was temporarily detained at the airport for several hours by the government for questioning over issues related to their travel, and I think travel documents," said spokeswoman Marie Harf. "They have not been arrested. The government has assured us of their safety."
Harf said that the U.S. Embassy "has been and will remain highly involved in working with the family and the government," saying "we are engaging directly with Sudanese officials to secure their safe and swift departure from Sudan."
The airport detention came a day after Ibrahim's legal team announced the 27-year-old woman had been released from prison after weeks of international controversy over her conviction on apostasy and adultery charges.
According to her lawyer, the case began when one of Ibrahim's relatives, a Muslim, filed a criminal complaint saying her family was shocked to find out she had married Wani, a Christian, after she was missing for several years.
The Sudanese court considered Ibrahim a Muslim because her father was Muslim, but she said she was a Christian and never practiced Islam. She was charged with adultery, because a Muslim woman's marriage to a Christian man is illegal in Sudan, and with apostasy, accused of illegally renouncing what was alleged to be her original faith.
Authorities warned her to renounce Christianity by May 15, but she did not, instead responding that her mother, an Ethiopian Orthodox Christian, raised her as a Christian. She said her Sudanese Muslim father abandoned her when she was 6.
"I am a Christian," she said during her sentencing hearing last month, "and I will remain a Christian."
She was convicted and sentenced to death by hanging, along with 100 lashes. Sudanese Parliament speaker Fatih Izz Al-Deen defended the apostasy conviction, insisting last month that Ibrahim was raised in a Muslim environment.
After her sentence drew international condemnation from rights groups and foreign embassies in Khartoum -- including those of the United States, United Kingdom and Canada -- an appeals court this month ruled that the judgment against her was faulty and she was released, according to her lawyer.
Her husband, Wani, called CNN on Tuesday to say he and his family were being held at the national security office, but he provided no additional information. Ibrahim's legal team said the family was trying to leave the country when it was stopped by authorities and taken to the security headquarters.
Meanwhile, a man who says he is Ibrahim's brother, Al-Samani Al-Hadi, slammed the appellate court's decision and hinted at retribution.
"The family is unconvinced by the court's decision. We were not informed by the court that she was to be released; this came as a surprise to us," al-Hadi said Tuesday. "The law has failed to uphold our rights. This is now an issue of honor. The Christians have tarnished our honor, and we will know how to avenge it."
Al-Hadi did not comment on Ibrahim's detention at the airport on Tuesday. In court proceedings earlier this year, Ibrahim denied being related to al-Hadi.
Ibrahim gave birth to her second child -- a girl -- in prison last month. Her first child, a 1-year-old son, stayed with her at the prison but was free to leave at any time, Ibrahim's lawyer said.

Uniform 2020 Jacket Toile
Added Jan 17, 2014
York, United Kin...
This is the toile I've made for my university pattern cutting module. It's a design from my first collection (called The Hunt) which is for equestrian wear. I made the jacket to my own measurements and I'm pretty pleased with the fit.
The jacket is completely self-lined. I bagged the lining and it was the first time I have lined anything in real life (surely I'm not the only one who sews in my imagination?).
The range of motion in the sleeves is great and the jacket is so comfortable I forgot I had it on under my coat on the way to Uni! There are, however, a few style differences from the tech I made, but I'm not sure whether to change the pattern or the design. : )
There is more information on my blog
I've yet to make the "real" jacket, but while I wait for my fabric I have another project in mind: a vintage bustier dress!
Material Notes
Calico (medium weight muslin if you're in the US) and fusible interfacing.

Thank you!

Thank you all! I've been thinking of it (modestly of course) as a "totally awesome jacket", but now I'm beginning to see ways to improve it, if I've time before hand-in…
It sounds big-headed, but I'm so pleased with this; I think it's the best and coolest thing I've made, and I'm going to get good wear out of the real one (I can't wash this because calico shrinks like mad).
Jan 18, 2014, 12.16 PMby pauline alice
I can't wait to see the finished jacket as the muslin is so well designed and fitted! Congrats!

PIERRE PART, LA (WAFB) - Texas Brine says evacuees in Assumption Parish can receive assistance funds Thursday in the parish hall of St. Joseph the Worker Catholic Church in Pierre Part.
The distributions last until 6 p.m.
There will be another community briefing at the church Saturday at 10 a.m.
Officials say the sinkhole in Assumption Parish has swallowed up more trees and part of a road built to expedite cleanup activities as it continues to expand.
Officials at the Assumption Parish Police Jury said Wednesday there was a 30 foot-by-50 foot slough into the southeast side of the hole overnight. The bog had never sloughed in that area before, officials say.
Experts say the sloughing in is expected. Last month, the sinkhole grew by 50 feet when the surrounding environment fell in, taking a boat with it. Two cleanup workers almost fell in and cleanup activities were suspended.
A failed underground brine cavern encased within a mountain of salt is believed to have caused the sinkhole, which appeared Aug. 3.

6.2 Welfare Leadership in the Ward
The bishop directs welfare work in the ward. He has a divine mandate to seek out and care for the poor (see D&C 84:112). His goal is to help members help themselves and become self-reliant.
The bishop's counselors, the Relief Society president, the elders quorum president, and other members of the ward council assist the bishop in fulfilling these responsibilities.
The bishop maintains confidentiality about the welfare assistance that members receive. He carefully safeguards the privacy and dignity of members who receive assistance. When he feels that other ward leaders can help members in need, he may share information according to the guidelines in 6.4.
More information about the bishop's welfare responsibilities, including guidelines for administering assistance from fast-offering funds, is provided in Handbook 1, 5.2.
Ward Council
In ward council meetings, the bishop teaches welfare principles and instructs council members in their welfare responsibilities. Council members consider spiritual and temporal welfare matters as follows:
They counsel together about ways to help ward members understand and follow principles of welfare.
They report on spiritual and temporal welfare needs in the ward, drawing information from personal visits and from ministering interviews. When information may
They plan ways to help specific ward members meet their spiritual and temporal needs, including long-term needs. They determine how to assist members who have disabilities or other special needs. They keep these discussions confidential (see 6.4).
They coordinate efforts to ensure that members who receive Church assistance have opportunities to work or give service. They compile and maintain a list of meaningful work opportunities. If Church welfare operations exist in the area, these operations may provide work opportunities and training for people who need Church assistance.
They compile and maintain a list of ward members whose skills might be useful in responding to short-term, long-term, or disaster-caused needs.
They develop and maintain a simple written plan for the ward to respond to emergencies (see Handbook 1, 5.2.11). They coordinate this plan with similar plans in the stake and community.
Ward Priesthood Executive Committee
The ward priesthood executive committee (PEC) has been discontinued. Agenda items for PEC meetings are now included in ward council meetings and, if needed for a sensitive issue, in expanded bishopric meetings.
Elders Quorum and Relief Society
Welfare is central to the work of the elders quorum and the Relief Society. In elders quorum presidency and Relief Society presidency meetings, leaders plan ways to teach principles of self-reliance and service and to address welfare needs. Under the direction of the bishop, these leaders help members become self-reliant and find solutions to short-term and long-term welfare concerns.
Short-Term Welfare Needs
As the bishop provides short-term assistance, he may give assignments to elders quorum or Relief Society presidencies.
The bishop normally assigns the Relief Society president to visit members who need short-term assistance. She helps assess their needs and suggests to the bishop what assistance to provide. The bishop may ask her to prepare a Bishop's Order for Commodities form for him to approve and sign.
The Relief Society president's role in making these family-needs visits is explained more fully in 9.6.1. For information on other short-term welfare responsibilities that apply specifically to the Relief Society president and her counselors, see 9.6.2 and 9.6.3.
Long-Term Welfare Needs
Many short-term problems are caused by long-term difficulties such as poor health, lack of skills, inadequate education or employment, lifestyle habits, and emotional challenges. Melchizedek Priesthood and Relief Society leaders have a special responsibility to help members address these concerns. Their goal is to address long-term concerns in ways that lead to lasting change.
As Melchizedek Priesthood and Relief Society leaders become aware of long-term needs, they respond compassionately to help individuals and families. They use resources available in their organizations and in the ward. They pray for guidance to know how to provide assistance.
To gain a better understanding of how to help, Melchizedek Priesthood and Relief Society leaders normally visit members who have welfare needs. They may use the Needs and Resources Analysis form or otherwise follow its principles to help members plan ways to respond to welfare needs.
As leaders help members respond to long-term needs, they counsel with the bishop. In some cases, Melchizedek Priesthood and Relief Society leaders work together.
Reporting to the Bishop and Seeking His Continued Direction
The elders quorum and Relief Society presidents regularly report to the bishop on actions they and their organizations are taking to address short-term and long-term welfare needs in the ward. They seek the bishop's continued direction on their welfare efforts.
If individuals and families have short-term problems that they cannot resolve themselves and that elders quorum and Relief Society presidencies cannot resolve, leaders inform the bishop immediately.
Assistance with spiritual and temporal welfare often begins with those who serve as ministering brothers and sisters. In a spirit of kindness and friendship, these brothers and sisters help individuals and families. They report the needs of those they serve to their elders quorum or Relief Society presidencies.
Seeking Service from the Elders Quorum, Relief Society, and Others
Elders quorum and Relief Society presidencies may seek the service of people whose skills or experience could help those in need. Members may provide short-term service such as providing meals or child care or sharing information about available employment. Members may also provide guidance to help with long-term welfare needs, such as health, sanitation, nutrition, preparing for a career, finding opportunities for education, starting a small business, or managing family finances.
After leaders ask others to provide assistance, they remain in contact with the needy individual or family to provide encouragement and to help in other ways as necessary.
Leaders may assist the bishop when he refers members to Church welfare operations such as bishops' storehouses, Church employment resource centers, Deseret Industries, and LDS Family Services. Leaders may also help members receive assistance through community and government agencies.
Ward Welfare Specialists
Welfare specialists serve as resources to help the bishopric and to help Melchizedek Priesthood and Relief Society leaders perform their welfare duties.
The bishopric may call an employment specialist to help members prepare for and find suitable employment. The bishopric may also call other welfare specialists to help members with needs such as education, training, nutrition, sanitation, home storage, health care, family finances, and the Perpetual Education Fund.

Lollipop Creative needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 175 designs submitted by 29 freelance designers.
Blackbird Chocolate
We are absolutely passionate about creating a drinking chocolate that is better than anything that is available in our current markets. We would like our logo to convey that we are different in our approach, creating products that are innovative and cutting edge as well as of the highest quality.
We will be targeting an upscale audience. Blackbird is committed to making the best drinking chocolate available, a cut above what is currently available in the marketplace. We are aiming to be appealing to cutting edge adult consumers who are currently purchase gourmet foods.
We are after a logo of a Blackbird itself, along with the words 'blackbird chocolate'. We would like it to be clean and modern, and not too masculine or feminine. It would be ideal if the logo worked in silhouette also (i.e. not much detail on the logo picture itself). Ideally we want this logo to be able to be stamped into the chocolate bars themselves, and to work on a variety of surfaces.

Women's soccer team wins NCAA tourney berth
Judges set school record of 13 shutouts in 19 games
For the second time in three years, the Brandeis women's soccer team has won an at-large berth in the NCAA Division III tournament. The Judges, who finished the season with a 13-4-2 record and placed fifth in the University Athletic Association (UAA), will take on 24th-ranked Union College (15-3), an at-large selection from the Liberty League in a first-round contest at Amherst College on Nov. 10.
Host Amherst (13-1-2) will take on Lasell College (14-4-1) in another first-round match.
Game times will be 11 a.m. and 1:30 p.m., with the specific times for the two games to be announced. Ticket prices will also be announced when they become available.
For the Brandeis women, this the third NCAA tournament bid under head coach Denise Dallamora, the only coach in the program's 34-year history. Their previous trips came in 1988 and 2010, when the Judges hosted a regional and advanced to the second round. Nearly half of Brandeis's matches came against NCAA tournament teams, and the Judges posted a 5-3-1 record.
The Judges were led by a fantastic defense this season, setting a school-record with 13 shutouts in 19 contests. Goalkeepers Francine Kofinas and Michelle Savuto split time in net for Brandeis and finished second in the league with 87 saves and fourth with a 0.82 goals-against average. Kofinas, a senior, started all 19 matches, while Savuto, a sophomore, played the second half and overtime sessions. Offensively, sophomore transfer Dara Spital led the Judges in scoring with 12 goals and five assists for 29 points. She tied for the league lead in goals and was fourth in points. Spital also led the UAA and was among Division III's leaders with seven game-winning goals this season.
Union is making its tenth NCAA Division III tournament appearance in the past 14 years. The Dutchwomen are guided by head coach Brian Speck, who has led his program to 16-straight seasons of at least 10 wins and was named to the Liberty League Co-Coaching Staff of the Year. Senior forward Jennifer Mansfield was named the Liberty League Player of the Year after finishing with 13 goals and four assists for 30 points. She had six game-winners on the campaign. Senior Kayla Marti led the Liberty League with an .874 save percentage.
All three of Union's losses have come at the hands of Liberty League foes who made the NCAA tournament, one against Rochester Institute of Technology and two against William Smith College.
