2019 nominations are closed
Nominations for the 2019 Music Composition Award are closed. Information about the 2020 cycle will be available in September, 2018.
Music has the ability to inspire, to bring joy to those who hear it and those who create it. It can convey great emotion in just a few powerful notes. There is, perhaps, no greater expression of the human spirit. For this reason, the Grawemeyer Award in Music Composition honors those who bring beauty and inspiration into the world.
The University of Louisville offers an international prize in recognition of outstanding achievement by a living composer in a large musical genre: choral, orchestral, chamber, electronic, song-cycle, dance, opera, musical theater, extended solo work and more. The award will be granted for a work premiered during the five-year period prior to the award deadline (i.e. time period Jan.1, 2014 – Dec. 31, 2018 for the 2020 award).
Prize Amount
The Grawemeyer Award for Music Composition is accompanied by a prize of $100,000, which is presented in full during the awards ceremony.
Musical works including, but not limited to, choral, orchestral, chamber, song-cycle, dance, opera, musical theater, extended solo.
In 1983, Charles Grawemeyer met with Dr. Jerry Ball, dean of the University of Louisville School of Music, to discuss establishing a prize in music, but Mr. Grawemeyer wasn't sure what it should honor. So they talked and settled on composition, with Mr. Grawemeyer concluding, according to Dr. Ball, "If we did something like this perhaps we could find another Mozart."
Music composition became the first of the five Grawemeyer award categories. Being first, it took almost two years to work out all the details of the program. The Nobel process was studied and incorporated in part. But Mr. Grawemeyer wanted what he termed a more "democratic" judging, eventually involving three levels: the U of L music faculty, an international jury of professionals and a lay (non-professional, but knowledgeable) panel.
In 1985, the first Grawemeyer Award for Music Composition went to Witold Lutoslawski, a Polish composer, for his Symphony No. 3.
Since then the Grawemeyer Award has achieved international recognition as the premier music composition award, regularly attracting between 150 and 200 entries from around the world.
"Charlie Grawemeyer could have gone to any school in the country, to any orchestra, any opera company, any place he might want to go to offer this prize. It's wonderful that he kept it at home and honored his university," said Ball.
The Nomination Process
Nominations closed for 2019
While nominations for the 2019 Grawemeyer Award in Music Composition are now closed, information about the 2020 award will be available beginning in September, 2018. Please check back at that time for additional details and instructions.

Examples would include professional musical organizations, performers or performing groups, soloists, conductors, critics, publishers or heads of professional music schools or departments.

The University of Louisville School of Music is pleased to announce the University of Louisville Grawemeyer Award for Music Composition 2019. The University will offer an international prize in recognition of outstanding achievement by a living composer in a large musical genre: choral, orchestral, chamber, electronic, song-cycle, dance, opera, musical theater, extended solo work, etc. The award will be granted for a work premiered during the five-year period between 1 January 2013 and 31 December 2017. The amount of the award to the composer will be one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000.00).
The Grawemeyer Music Award Committee invites the submission of scores by outstanding composers throughout the world and has established the following rules and procedures for its selection of the winning work:
Each entry for the Grawemeyer Music Award must be nominated by a professional musical organization or individual (performer or performing group, conductor, critic, publisher, or head of a professional music school or department). A composer may not submit his or her own work. No more than one work of any composer may be submitted, and entries from previous winners of this award will not be considered.
Each entry must include the following:
- One bound copy of the full score. (For works with non-English text, it is recommended that an English translation or English synopsis be submitted.)
- One excellent quality recording of the complete work. Send only standard audio compact disc(s) – no mp3s or other types of sound file; please do not send DVDs or other media. If possible, please provide separate tracks for each movement of multi-movement works. Please omit tuning, opening applause, spoken commentary such as radio interviews or conductor's remarks, or any other extraneous material at the beginning of the CD.
- Documentation of the premiere public performance of the work between 1/1/13 and 12/31/17. A radio broadcast or sound recording does not constitute a premiere. The printed program (or a photocopy thereof) from the premiere performance is preferred. However, if this is not available, another form of documentation, such as a published review, or a newspaper or magazine article, will be accepted. Only one form of documentation should be included. Works may be resubmitted during the period of eligibility.
- Program notes in English
- Supporting letter in English from the nominator of the entry, which must state nominator's relation to the submitted work and nominator's belief in the outstanding qualities of the work
- Composer's photograph: high-res digital file on disc preferred but hard copy acceptable
- Composer's biography in English, which should briefly outline the composer's total achievement and recognition
- Completed, signed entry form in English. Grawemeyer-Music-App-2019
- Non-refundable handling fee of forty dollars ($50.00 in U.S. currency). Payment may be made by check drawn on a U.S.bank or by international money order, payable to the Grawemeyer Music Award Committee, or by credit card. To pay by credit card, click here.
- In the case of resubmission, entrants need not resubmit scores or recordings as these will be retrieved from the Grawemeyer Collection. However, all other required materials must be resubmitted and the handling fee paid.
- All materials, including the handling fee, must be labelled with the name of the composer.
- Please send only materials requested. Do not include press kits, reviews, articles, recordings of other works, etc.
After an initial screening, the Grawemeyer Music Award Committee will appoint a jury of three internationally recognized music professionals: normally a composer, a conductor and a critic. Each juror will select, from the qualifying scores, up to three works they deem worthy of the Award. These selected works are then submitted anonymously to the Final Committee to be judged by listening only. The Final Committee will then recommend one of these works to the President of the University of Louisville. Upon the recommendation of the President, the Board of Trustees of the University of Louisville will grant the Award. Final approval of the Grawemeyer Award winners is subject to approval by the University of Louisville Board of Trustees and the Trustees of the Louisville Presbyterian Seminary.
Completed entries for the Grawemeyer Award must reach the University of Louisville by January 16, 2019. The Grawemeyer Award Committee will acknowledge receipt of all entries by email only. Please allow a month after the deadline for such notification. Late or incomplete entries will not be considered.
Submissions should be sent to:
Grawemeyer Music Award Committee
School of Music
University of Louisville
Louisville, Kentucky 40292
Announcement will be made in December 2018 and the award will be made during April 2019.
The University of Louisville will retain all entered scores and recorded materials for inclusion in the Grawemeyer Collection of New Music, a part of the Library of the School of Music.
No payment will be made to the estate or heirs of a deceased composer.
Questions may be addressed via e-mail to email@example.com.

2018 Recipient
Bent Sorensen
Danish composer Bent Sorensen has won the 2018 University of Louisville Grawemeyer Award for Music Composition for a triple concerto. The piece, L'isola della Città (The Island in the City), is for violin, cello and piano soloists and is played continuously in five movements.
Sorensen composed the work for the Danish ensemble Trio con Brio and The Danish National Symphony Orchestra. It premiered in Copenhagen in January, 2016.
"In all five movements the 'island' (the trio) tries to escape the shadows of the orchestra. This is most evident in the last movement, in which the trio ever so silently and without attracting any attention, simply glides away from the orchestra's noisy shadows," Sorensen wrote.
Marc Satterwhite, award director and faculty member at the University of Louisville School of Music, said, "It is not a virtuoso showcase, but rather integrates the soloists smoothly into an ever-evolving orchestral texture. Often they feel more like 'first among equals' rather than traditional soloists, but at other times really come to the fore. Although it has its larger moments, on the whole it is one of the gentler, more introspective, winners of this award."
Sorensen, 59, studied composition with Ib Norholm and Per Norgard in his native Denmark. His music is widely performed around the globe.

How to Find Your Professional Writing Mentor (and Why You Should Choose Me)
In my previous post, I mentioned that the importance of finding a mentor who will help guide you in your professional journey. I also mentioned below the article that you should contact me if you want me to help you out as a freelance writer.
Now, you may be asking yourself this question:
Why the hell should I get you as a mentor?
This is a great question. Surely, you won't have any knowledge of me before reading my posts here on this blog. Because you have not heard of my writing experience, you won't believe that I can help you. Therefore, since there is no trust established between us, there is no way in hell you would ask for help from a nobody like me.
If everything I said above is true, then you have a valid point.
If I were in your position, I would ask the same questions. Even if the offer is free, I don't want to dedicate any time and effort from a Joe Schmoe who claims to have the Holy Grail of freelance writing.
While I will never claim such a thing, I will, however, dedicate this post into properly introducing myself to you.
As a freelance writer, I've written for different publications like SEMrush, Business.com, Tweak Your Biz, The Write Life, and others. I've linked to my profiles on each of the sites mentioned, so you know what I'm not making this up.
I've also rubbed shoulders with blogging luminaries such as Adam Connell, Ileane Smith, Gail Gardner, Zac Johnson, and Ashley Faulkes. I've even featured most of these guys on my Expert Blogger Interview section on my blog.
Lastly, I have been serious in publishing high-quality content on my blog. Below is an infographic that I had one of my colleagues create for me about writing powerful web content.
This is the exact framework I used to develop my free ebook Winning Blog Content Checklist, which I also offered in the previous post.
More importantly, I have shared my must-read writing story over at my professional blog. The post is password-protected, so I suggest that you contact me here for the password. I don't give out my story easily, unfortunately, and I want only those who are interested to read them.
That said, maybe you're convinced about me being a legitimate writer. Maybe not. Either way, this post is proof that I'm not a hack, which alone should be convincing that you ask me for freelancing writing advice.
Even if you're on the fence about me, now's the time to place that 15-minute call that you can have with me. Clarify details about what I can offer. Better yet, Ask me anything about freelance writing, content marketing, blogging, or anything related to digital marketing and put my knowledge to the test.
Again, this is not for me. Everything I'm saying to you right now is for your good. You will benefit from learning more about blogging and writing to help equip yourself with the best practices to put your blog and writing services at the forefront of your respective industries.
It's time to take action.

Lady Writes Secret Santa which was an idea I had to bring bloggers of all varieties together. The idea was that the Secret Santa was open to everyone, whether you were a lifestyle, parent, beauty, fashion or cooking blogger - or any other sort of blogger! Each person who joined in agreed to a £20 maximum spend (excluding postage) and the final date for postage was last week..
So it's been the most amazing feeling as people's gifts have started arriving and hearing how much people have loved being part of #ladywritessecretsanta - it required more admin work than I expected but that's because I wanted it to run perfectly smoothly - yes, I'm OCD! But now the gifts are arriving, now I've heard how much people have enjoyed it and it's all going to plan, now i can say it's been absolutely worth it and roll on next year when it's going to be bigger and better!
Firstly, receiving this made me cry. It was the most thoughtful gift I've EVER received. I can't believe the thought and effort that went into putting together this amazing box of treats just for me. Whoever my Secret Santa was, clearly put a lot of time into reading my tweets and blog posts to learn about me because she sent me all of my favourite things - it's like she'd known me all my life. And that's what lots of other bloggers are saying to - it's been such a touching thing to be part of.
I can't wait to see more of the posts from those who joined in, and just use the hashtag above to see what's going on with Lady Writes Secret Santa!

But for I experienced it myself,I couldn't have believed that one day I'll spend two long days and one night at the station .Maybe it is common ,but I still find it amazing that I'll also fall to this domain .
This winter I captured a consept of real cold in the so-called 'South' .It is repoted to be the coldest winter in the recent fifty years.The roads were all covered with ice,it is more safe to go skating than just walking ( a joke ).The snow in Changsha is strange ,which has no shape at all ,all round ,just like sand .; You can imagine how I spent two days and one night there. Cold ang lonely ,our desire to go home seemed to be gradually put out .On the second day , a graduate persuaded us go back to school ,waitting the students reunion on the New Year's Eveat the school canteen. The moment I was actually more than a bit despondent .Fortunatelly , so keen was my desire to go home tat we finally decidd to go to Zhengzhou first ,we will have more chances there . Thus we planned another route to go back . Forcing our way into the bid crowds ,we catched a train-the only one head to north.Of course ,full of people .To my delight ,I eventually seized my luck .It is easy to forget all the unhappiness caused by the train delay.Maybe god thought we were too toilsome ,so the tip following after we stepped on the train became unbelieveable propitious .When we arrived at Zhengzhou station ,another train to Xian was just about to start .Surely we grasped this god-given opportunity .Again , after our arrival at Xian station ,we easily find a train to Pingliang ,in spite of the delayig on the way . What a coincidence,it is beyod belief .As the trip went on , dar-kness outside brout us nearer and nearer to Pingliang ,the foggy light gradually became smaller and more clear.Finally we made it .Stepped on the ground in the homtown , I felt an inner delight , peaceful.
Sticking to the end ,victory came towards us .
Compared with my destination ,all the hardships along the way became small .
Though we've suffred a lot , especially at the station , I still felt blessed having go home ,seeing my dear family .
So ,my friends , never quit ,victory will be ours .

New Videos
So i found some old pyro lying around and noticing the volume of questions i'm getting about what the TLSFx stuff is made from and where it can be found in the States i managed to throw a couple of videos together to hopefully answer these questions. Silly me though, despite stating how to go about searching for them on U.S soil and providing the link to the U.K company and the U.S supplier, i'm still being asked "Can you get these in the U.S?"...D'oh!!!!

Feb. 15, 2016 – The Amazon's vast rainforests, rivers, and soils are rich ecosystems vital to the basic functioning of the planet. They churn moisture into the atmosphere, sequester carbon, regulate climate patterns, and house much of the world's biodiversity. But those extensive, interconnected ecosystems are increasingly fragmented and degraded by unsustainable agriculture, exploitative commercial fishing practices, and other practices.
Scientists from several fields in the college are deeply engaged in the region, working in the Amazon's critical ecosystems to help reshape daily land-use and natural resource management decisions.
For almost two decades, economists Frank Merry and Gregory Amacher have been at the forefront of land-use change modeling in the Brazilian Amazon. Using computers to generate models helps decision-makers see what short- and long-term impacts will result from different proposed land uses. Merry and Amacher's work on models that forecast land use in logging, ranching, and agriculture has led the way in the design of climate-related policies, including the UN-REDD Programme.
Furthermore, Merry, a former research associate professor in the Department of Forest Resources and Environmental Conservation, and Amacher, the department's Julian N. Cheatham Professor of Natural Resource Economics, have long been seeking to address the problems faced by poor settlement families on the forest frontier.
"These households are the equivalent of the U.S. nonindustrial private forest landowner, yet they are largely excluded from the formal economy and struggle to survive under difficult, yet resource-rich, conditions," Merry said. "We try to inform Brazilian decision-makers about their plight and present viable development alternatives."
In conjunction with local partners like the Amazon Environmental Research Institute, Virginia Tech researchers have conducted more than 6,000 household interviews and brought these issues to the forefront of Brazilian policy design.
Merry serves as the administrative director of the nonprofit Aliança da Terra, which focuses on improving resource management on private lands in the Brazilian Amazon. This work includes a voluntary registry in which farmers commit to meeting select environmental, social, and production criteria on their properties. In return, their products are entered in the organization's Producing Right Platform, enabling manufacturers and consumers to trace a product's origin and evaluate how sustainably it was produced.
In a long-standing partnership with the U.S. Forest Service, Aliança da Terra established a firefighting brigade to help protect private and public forests. More than 630 local volunteer firefighters have been trained to date by the agency's world-renowned smokejumpers.
Senior Research Associate Kirsten Silvius, a wildlife ecologist, works with indigenous hunters in Amazonian Guyana to understand game population densities and hunting behavior. The information gained helps guide management decisions to ensure that wildlife populations remain healthy and thrive over the long term. That kind of participatory monitoring and management, involving data collectors, decision-makers, and community residents, is a "bottom-up approach" to effect change that can meet multiple objectives, she says.
In Silvius' three-year study, 335 locally recruited and trained indigenous technicians walked 2,000 kilometers a month recording data on animal observations and signs, forest structure, even fruit abundance. Silvius now works closely with Brazilian government agencies to improve the livelihoods of forest-dependent peoples and ensure the boundaries of protected areas remain intact.
Assistant Professor Leandro Castello of the Department of Fish and Wildlife Conservation recruits community-based fishermen to guide fisheries management. He leverages local knowledge of habitat and ecology for the conservation of arapaima — a 400-pound, air-breathing, top-predator species fished to extinction in some communities. "Many fishing communities are developing their own management strategies, asking scientists and governments to better manage fisheries," he said.
Now is the time to reverse current trends, according to Castello. "In Brazil's Amazonas State there have been significant strides," he said. "The arapaima fishery there is coming back, a far cry from 10 years ago." Things are not looking as promising in other locations, but Castello says his research "has the primary goal of influencing policy, not just creating knowledge. I think there is evidence with the arapaima that it has helped."
"There is no doubt the Amazon rainforest and the peoples and animals that depend upon it continue to be under tremendous pressure," Merry concluded. "Fortunately, many Virginia Tech scientists are playing an important role in understanding the pressures facing this vital resource."

Evaluation of Swedish development cooperation
Evaluations at Sida contribute to well-informed decision making, learning and accountability. Swedish development assistance and the work of Sida is evaluated both externally and internally.
The two main government actors engaged in evaluation of Swedish development cooperation are Sida and the Expert Group for Aid Studies (EBA), who both report to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The Agency for Public Management (Statskontoret) may at the request of the Swedish Government also carry out studies and evaluations of Swedish development cooperation.
The responsibility for evaluation of Sida funded programmes rests primarily with the development partner. Sida may commission an external evaluation for accountability purposes, to meet learning needs, or due to limited capacity by the partner. It is not mandatory to evaluate every intervention – the goal is to have the right things evaluated at the right time and in the right way.
Sida's approach to evaluation
Sida defines evaluation as a systematic and objective approach of determining the merit, worth or value of something. It plays a central role in results-based management and organisational learning at Sida. It provides an understanding of how and why certain results were – or were not – achieved, and if they were relevant and sustainable.
Evaluations at Sida can contribute to:
- Well-informed decision making in projects, programmes and cooperation strategies.
- Learning at Sida and other development actors about what works for whom, under what circumstances and how.
- Accountability by providing transparency in Swedish development cooperation.
Sida's approach to evaluation is utilisation focused. In utilisation focused evaluation, emphasis is put on identifying who the intended users of a specific evaluation are, and being specific about their intended use of the evaluation. The evaluation process shall be designed, conducted and reported to meet the needs of the intended users. Sida financed evaluations shall build on the principles and criteria which have been developed by the OECD/DAC's Evaluation Network (EvalNet).
Evaluations that are commissioned and published by Sida or Swedish foreign missions are available in Sida's Publication Database.
Sida's evaluation team
Sida's evaluation team, led by Sida's Chief Evaluator, coordinates evaluation at Sida. The team conducts evaluations, provides advice to units and Swedish Embassies that commission evaluations, plans, publishes and disseminates evaluations – and also supports capacity buildning for evaluation in developing countries.

Quarley holds Harvest Festival Supper
11 Sep 2006
Rev Chris Pettet looks on,as Sir George is presented with the pumpkin he won in the auction
Click for a full size picture
90 people flocked to Quarley Village Hall for the annual Harvest Supper Festival. Rev Chris Pettet spoke at the beginning, mentioning the appeal for funds to replace the bells, stolen from St Michael's Church six months ago. "While the insurance will pay for the bells, there are some additional costs that we will have to find ourselves. There is a concert at 3pm at the Church to help the Bell Restoration Fund."
After the meal, Tony Ferguson auctioned off local produce, disposing of some large pumpkins.
"For a small village,this was a tremendously well-supported event."

The keywords for your app are one of the few components under your control, which can have a direct impact on the visibility of your app, within the App Store. Specifically, from searches within the App Store. This makes your keywords important.
Deciding on what keywords to use, however, is not the focus of this post.
With only 100 characters available for your keywords, it's necessary to know how Apple will interpret the input. How are individual words and phrases grouped to form compound keywords? What keywords and phrases will you rank for? What about commas and spaces?…
How does the composition of your keywords work for App Store searches?
These questions are the focus of this post. I'll use personal experience from my own apps combined with a little reseach to answer them…
Plurality and derivations
Question: if I have the keyword dog, will I rank for searches of both dog and dogs?
Answer: no.
Wafflr's keywords include these characters: "cue,card,presentation". Among other variations, Wafflr ranks for:
- cue card
- presentation card
But it does not rank for a search on "cue cards".
Duplication of terms
In an earlier iteration of Wafflr's keywords, the following characters were used: "wedding speech,best man speech".
I was unsure if "speech" needed to be used twice. It doesn't.
When replaced with "wedding,best man,speech", Wafflr still ranks for both the search phrases I'm interested in:
- wedding speech
- best man speech
Delimiters: commas or spaces?
The previous step led me to ask a couple of related questions:
- Is there a need to specify phrases, rather than single words only?
- What counts as a delimiter in my keyword text?
I viewed "best man" as a phrase; as a single unit. That is not the case. The white space acts as a delimiter in the same way as the comma. So, the characters "wedding,best man,speech" will rank for:
- wedding speech
- best speech
- speech man
- best wedding speech
- etc.
There is no difference between the following keyword strings:
- "wedding,best,man,speech"
- "wedding best man speech"
Simple Rules for How iOS Keywords Work
As mentioned at the start, the keywords for your app are very important, they will determine how many people will find your app when searching in the App Store. With a limited character set part of your approach is maximise the number of keywords you use.
This summary should help you understand how your keywords will work with searching in the App Store:
- Searches will match the exact word only. You don't get derivations of your keywords for free.
- Commas and white spaces both act as delimiters, in the same way. Use either a single white space or a single comma between every word in your keyword text.
- The compound phrases formed from the different permutations of your individual words, will all be associated with your app.
- As an extension of #3, although it might help you in working with your keywords, the order of the individual words does not matter.
Although it hasn't been the focus of this post, in addition to how you put your keywords together, it's necessary to research what keywords to use. It's not just about relevance, you also need to consider the traffic for a keyword and the competition for a keyword. This will be the focus of a future post.

So I was wondering for those of you who are incon and have kids, do they know about your diapers? And if so, did you find it more difficult to get them potty trained because they knew you wore diapers too?
So I was wondering for those of you who are incon and have kids, do they know about your diapers? And if so, did you find it more difficult to get them potty trained because they knew you wore diapers too?
I think this question has been asked before in several ways - my take is that adults are adults and children are children. We need to respect the different needs and levels of understanding that come at different stages of life. How you do this depends on a lot of things - including the kind of home you have - if you are in a cramped space and use cloth diapers there is no way you will keep it from your kids. With disposable diapers and a secure storage place there is no need for your diaper needs to be very obvious to your children. Perhaps the ideal is for the kids not to have the complication of knowing a carer is incontinent just at the time they are getting potty trained and coping with the "accidents" that are par for the course. Once that stage is over and as they gain maturity a gradual process of increased understanding about mum or dads needs can come fairly naturally on the basis of the developing relationship we aim to have with our kids.
Now I am not talking if one of the parents is just wearing for fun/fetish. Also at any stage, how do you explain your having to wear diapers to your kids?
in a factual manner, i assume... i guarantee there will be occasions where a parent has to use the bathroom, or change their diaper, while watching their curious 3-year-old (or up). it's inevitable. if your kid asks and you answer honestly and at your kid's level, it will simply be accepted as a fact. a 3-year-old usually understands the concept of a bladder and the job it does, so it's safe to start from that and just tell your kid that yours isn't working right.
I have to be careful around my three year old. I spent my entire life sleeping in just under are, shirts always choke me and pants get all tangled up. Been nocturnal incon for a couple years now, so I've been sleeping in just my diaper at night... Couple weeks ago, she came running in our bedroom scared. I groggily sat up, reached for my shorts to put them on, and she asked... What's that thick thing between your legs? Is that your diaper?
I almost fell out of my bed! I told her it was just my underwear and quickly pulled up my shorts! She questioned me again about it, but I dismissed it and quickly changed the subject!
I know I won't be able to hide it forever, but for now, I now try to at least wear boxers or shorts over my diaper at night!

Though I never flaunted it around my girls, they both knew from the begining that Dad was in diapers. They also knew why and growing up with it they would talk openly about it at home.
My youngest was the one that was "going to ware diapers like Daddy" It took some work on the part of my wife and I to convince her she was now a big girl and to use the potty.
By the way they are both grown women with children of their own.

UP TO 11 jobs could go in Scarborough Council's revenues and benefits departments following the introduction of an efficiency programme.
The two departments are moving forward as a single service under one manager in a bid to help save £4 million over the next two years.
This is due to a radical reduction in central government grant funding of 14.6 per cent in 2011 to 2012 and 9.2 per cent in 2012 to 2013.
The council has been working with the 'Right First Time' Corporate Efficiency and Improvement Programme, which looks to reduce waste, duplication and failure in service delivery processes.
This programme is aimed at helping the council protect front line services, despite the challenging financial climate.
One of the first stages has been the reduction of management in the revenues and benefits departments.
And from today, every customer with a benefits query will be seen by a benefits expert straight away, so more claims can be processed in one day.
These efficiency measures have resulted in a planned reduction of up to 11 posts, which is part of the original 50 'at risk' posts estimated by the council and announced in January.
Hilary Jones, the council's strategic director, said: "We are working to ensure we are as efficient an organisation as possible to maximise the benefit of every pound we spend for our communities and will continue to explore all areas for efficiency savings.
"Clearly, at the end of three years, we will be a smaller and more streamlined organisation, but still high performing and effective.
"It is always distressing to be in a position where we have to reduce staffing levels. Consultation has started with the affected staff and the council has introduced change management processes to ensure compulsory redundancies are kept to a minimum and people are given redeployment opportunities wherever possible.
"It is a real testament to the quality of our staff that they are focused on delivering improvements in performance and maintaining services for vulnerable people despite uncertainty and reducing resources."

In response to GOP Targets Reid In 2016:
If Republicans can find a viable candidates to take on Reid in 2016, a candidate that can refrain from veering too far to the right of crazy, they will be Reid.
Reid is vulnerable, and Democrats could put him out there as a sacrificial lamb, if it they think it will help them retain the White House.
But don't count the little guy out yet. Remember, Reid's biggest ally was, and still is the NRA, who helped him win re-election. NRA boss Wayne LaPierre came out in the final hour and endorsed him over Sharon Angle.
Actually, the NRA backed Angle over Reid.
From what I understand, Reid is still good with them, and could reach out for another favor if he sees this re-election spiraling down the toilet.
But wait. Reid has backed the Obama-Bloomberg gun control agenda, so chances are that the NRA won't be siding with him in 2016.
Translation: Reid is screwed.

Well, it look like spy girl has something up her sleeve or was it down between her pair of knockers.
Hmmm. Given that Spy-girl landed hard, with Clamor on top of her, and she still managed to fight back, I'd say that she's quite a bit tougher than she looks.
Here's hoping that that spray can is nothing more deadly than pepper spray or maybe Mace.
Its Cat-nip (or would that be Cat-nap)
Ha, lovely irony in keeping one's Mace down one's décolletage.
Just a-sayin'.
Go ahead BH, "pshht off" the cat girl.

Benazir does a Indira Gandhi by promising roti, kapda aur makanDecember 1st, 2007 - 4:50 pm ICT by admin
Islamabad, Dec 1 (ANI): Pakistan Peoples Party chairperson Benazir Bhutto has done what late Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi did in the 1970s by promising Roti, Kapra aur Makan (food, clothing and shelter) to the people of Pakistan if her party comes to power.
In addition to this Benazir, has also promised education, energy and employment for all.
We believe that the key to development lies in focusing on employment, education, energy, environment and equality and in the January 8 elections we are presenting a better future for the people of Pakistan, Benazir said while releasing her partys manifesto.
Interestingly, the PPP has included all 36 points of the Charter of Democracy in its manifesto, The News reported.
After coming into power, we would construct small dams to overcome the water shortage in the country, power generation would be promoted and the menace of load-shedding would be ended, Benazir said.
The PPP would remove the ban on student unions, but at the same time would not allow arms on campuses and even in Madrassas. The education curriculum will also be revised in line with modern education, she added. (ANI)

Kudakwashe K. Nhevera was born on the 8th of February 1991 in the small town of Kadoma in Zimbabwe. He grew up in Harare before moving to South Africa due to the deteriorating political and economic conditions in Zimbabwe. He now lives and works in Johannesburg. The love and support of his parents, who are with him in South Africa, fuels his ardent love of art.
Kuda's passion for art began at a very young age. Art greatly fascinated him as a child, and he would often study the portrait artists working at his local shopping centres. Due to his humble beginnings, he was unfortunately unable to feed his desire to explore painting during his childhood.
While he was still in school, he loved to draw famous people and spent many hours bent over his sketch pad. These hours of pure joy, along with strong encouragement from his friends and family, kept him determined to pursue a career in art.
At the age of 19, Kuda decided to further his skills and started painting. Because he had never been exposed to a wide variety of art, creating art with skilled and professional artists is a wonderful experience to him. Through this, his talent was discovered. He is deeply interested in original realistic art, and enjoys the challenge of creating life-like portraits and landscapes. He is meticulous about creating original realistic renderings and continually strives to better himself and his artwork.

The archbishop of Lima, Peru said he fears that the Vatican prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF) has naively suggested that Pope Francis is supportive of liberation theology.
According to a story in the Vatican Insider Thursday, Cardinal Juan Luis Cipriani of Lima has called into question comments by CDF prefect Archbishop Gerhard Müller, a friend of Father Gustavo Gutiérrez, one of the founders of the school of liberation theology and his co-author of a book on the subject.
Liberation theology is a school of thought that developed in Latin America in the 1950s. The philosophy is based on a Marxist interpretation of the gospel and centers on freedom from material poverty and injustice rather than the dominance of spiritual freedom and freedom from sin.
When Gutiérrez, also from Peru, visited Rome in September, Müller drew attention to Pope Francis' meeting with him which, according to the Catholic News Agency (CNA), took place at the insistence of Müller.
CNA reported that Vatican analyst Sandro Magister said the meeting between Francis and Gutiérrez was "behind closed doors." Magister also reportedly described the pope as having distanced himself from Müller because of his friendship with Gutiérrez. During a question-and-answer session with priests afterward, Magister said Francis' comment on liberation theology was "serious and sharp," though it went largely unnoticed by the media, including the Vatican press office.
"In the formulation of one of the five questions posed to Pope Francis, a priest asking about the centrality of the poor in pastoral ministry made a direct reference to liberation theology and Archbishop Gerhard Müller's stance in support of this theology," Magister stated.
However, "upon hearing the name of the prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, Pope Francis didn't let the priest finish his question and said, 'That is what Müller thinks, that is what he thinks,'" Magister reported.
Müller himself reportedly responded to a question in which he stressed the importance of "reconciliation" among the "parties" within the Church.
Cipriani, however, irked by Müller's calling attention to the meeting between the pope and Gutiérrez, said the event was exaggerated.
"I still say [Müller] is naïve," Cipriani stated. "Gustavo Gutiérrez concelebrated Mass with the Pope and 25 other priests. At the end of the Mass, the Pope greeted everyone and he did the same with Gutiérrez. Let's not make up stories about an audience and some reconciliation now."
The Peruvian cardinal, the first prelate to head a diocese belonging to the Opus Dei, the Catholic institution devoted to the message that the circumstances of everyday life are occasions for growing closer to God, made clear that he was not questioning Müller's qualifications as prefect of the CDF.
"I don't agree with his statement about parties within the Church," Cipriani said. "I think he has got it wrong. Mgr. Müller's job is to defend the sound doctrine of the Catholic faith so he should stop being naïve and be more prudent. I say this with all humility."
Regarding Pope Francis' decision to confirm Müller's position as head of the CDF, Cipriani commented, "He knows what he's talking about when it comes to theology and is editing Ratzinger's Opera Omnia, or complete works. He is an academic with a university background. No one questions his intellectual abilities."
Müller was appointed by his good friend, Pope Benedict XVI, a strong critic of liberation theology, to oversee and secure the doctrine of the Catholic faith. Benedict himself, then-Cardinal Ratzinger, had been appointed prefect of the CDF by Pope John Paul II.
However, every year since 1998, according to Vatican analyst John Allen, Müller has traveled to Peru to "take a course" from Gutiérrez. In 2008, he also accepted an honorary doctorate from the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru, widely viewed as a stronghold of the progressive wing of the Peruvian church.
"The theology of Gustavo Gutiérrez, independently of how you look at it, is orthodox because it is orthopractic," Müller said. "It teaches us the correct way of acting in a Christian fashion since it comes from true faith."
One controversial statement by Gutiérrez was his claim:
Only a radical break with the present state of things, a profound transformation of the property system, the access to power by the exploited class, a social revolution that breaks up that dependence, will allow a different society, a Socialist society to come to pass.
Müller's association with Gutiérrez led to a push by traditionalists to attempt to block his appointment by Benedict to head the CDF. The concern, as evidenced by emails that circulated, was that Müller was not a man of "secure doctrine."
Conservative church leaders have pointed to Müller's views on the perpetual virginity of the Blessed Virgin Mary (Müller said it should not be understood in a "physiological" sense), the Eucharist (Müller advised against use of the terms "body and blood of Christ" to describe the consecrated elements of bread and wine during Mass), and ecumenism (Müller declared that Protestants are "already part of the church" founded by Christ).
Müller's defenders, however, have argued that their friend's words were taken out of context or are already consistent with Church teachings.
Indeed Müller, 65, is known in his native Germany as a staunch defender of Catholic orthodoxy, yet not an ideologue. He has been the key Vatican player in the overhaul of the feminist-leaning Leadership Conference of Women Religious (LCWR) that was demanded by the CDF in April of 2012, and, in April of this year, informed the LCWR that Pope Francis had reaffirmed the findings of the assessment and the program of reform that were determined necessary by Pope Benedict.
Cardinal Cipriani commented during his weekly radio show upon the occasion of Pope Francis' meeting with Gutiérrez.
"The Church does not accept Marxist class warfare," he said. "During the last conversation I had with Gutiérrez, before he left Lima… I told him that in his youth he took stances that he should correct now that he is older."
Cipriani made clear that when Pope Benedict, formerly Cardinal Ratzinger, prefect of the CDF, issued the 1984 document, Liberatis Nuntius (Instruction on Christian Freedom and Liberation), he fully intended to demonstrate that Gutiérrez's philosophy was not in keeping with the doctrine of the Church.
"If we look carefully at Ratzinger's instruction," Cipriani said, "we can see very clearly that the writings of Gutiérrez still need to be corrected."
