"Renewing the Concept of Society for Policy Use in Response to Globalization"
Globalization has brought society back into centerframe as an issue for policy-makers. This project seeks to appraise and update appropriate theory. It compares the experiences of the United States and Britain both in the use of theory and in the response to globalization. It explores the relations between policy practitioners and sociologists and looks for their critical evalutation of the potential of new European theory of society, especially as developed by Anthony Giddens, Ulrich Beck and this writer. The outcome wills the reformulation of theory to bring it closer to policy requirements, a prime demand on sociology today.

Five Practices that Shape Our Life Together
Passionate Worship
Celebration of Worship
Risk-Taking Mission and Service
Caring for Our World
People with Heart in the Heart of the City
Over a century ago the evangelistic zeal of Methodists established churches and preaching point in mining camps and villages of Alaska. Early in the 1920's the Methodist Church cooperated with similar denominations in a community agreement to missionary support. Thus, the Territory of Alaska would be served more efficiently. Anchorage was then served by the Presbyterian community Church. With the beginning of civilian travel after World War II and an increasing interest in Alaska, the Presbyterian Church became self-supporting.
In 1941 Methodist workers from all of Alaska gathered in Seward to make plans. A project of great concern to Bishop Bruce R. Baxter and the Rev. G. Edward Knight, the new Superintendent of the Alaska Mission, was the work in the busting community of Anchorage. The community was rapidly growing as the central hub of at the Alaska Railroad.
A brief survey conducted by Rev. Knight in 1943 indicated the presence of several hundred Methodist by preference or membership. Also, indicated in the survey was evidence that not more than one-third of the children were touched by the church.
In the winter of 1943-44, Bishop Baxter visited several theological schools. At the General Conference in Kansas City, he offered George Dolch of Little Falls, NY the opportunity to come to Anchorage. George and Dorothy arrived in Anchorage on September 30 after spending a few days in Seward with the Knights. They knew no one in Anchorage and had not even a reservation for a place to sleep. At the Westward Hotel, two pilots were out of town for two days and the Dolches were finally allowed the use of their room.
Monday, they moved into a little house on 10th Avenue just east of P Street and wrote the office of the church extension for money to purchase it for a parsonage.
They began house to house calling to find prospective church members. They also rented the American Legion Hall for Meetings (Now the Matanuska Brewing Company on 3rd Ave). It was the only possible place available, but had a very "unchurchy" odor Sunday mornings and had to be swept out before services could begin.
The first service was held on October 22, and 33 attending. Less than a month later the church school began in the parsonage ten blocks from the "church". Several trips of a 36 Dodge coupe transferred pupils between services. On January 7, 1945 the church was chartered with 29 members. The following Sunday services were moved to the Seventh Day Adventist chapel across the street (at about the location of the Anchorage Hilton Hotel's west door). The atmosphere was much more worshipful and church school was also moved to that location.
In May 1945 the mission conference was held in Metlakatla, Alaska. Forced to travel by Alaska Steamship with a flexible schedule, the Dolches were gone a month to attend a 4-day conference. George finally flew home from Juneau to meet with Dr. Lakey of the Section of Home Missions and with Superintendent Knight.
That summer the Women's Society of Christian Service raised $62.00 from a bake sale. This was the start of the building fund. On July, the church had a food booth on 4th Avenue near G Street and made $117.00. That summer some members also planted and harvested three acres of potatoes and made $400.00.
On a Sunday evening in February 1946, the pastor's car was stolen with his Bible and sermon notes inside. The car was found a week later a block from the U.S. Marshall's office.
The first Dolch baby, Bud, arrived on April 11th, 1946 at the Seward General Hospital.
Late in the spring of 1946 three lots at 9th and G Streets were purchased as a future building site for a permanent church home. Monday, July 15, Rev. Dolch was given sudden notice to move his equipment from the Adventist chapel by Wednesday or it would be tossed into the street. The piano and other equipment had to be stored in the tiny parsonage living room.
Two log cabins sat on the recently purchased property. The Rev. Knight and Rev. Dolch began at once renovating the larger two-story cabin. The old floor was removed and the stairway moved to the back wall. By Thursday night new floor supports and used flooring were installed. Member volunteered help and the women came in later and cleaned. Only July 21, the log church was formally opened with a dedication service. The congregation sat on borrowed chairs, but fireweed bloomed at the windows and God was there. This cabin was moved offsite and is now a private residence.
The log church seated about 50 persons including the choir (on backless benches). In winter the back seats were often piled high with coats. The oil heater in the middle of the room was too hot if you were too close, too cold a few feet away. Behind it you couldn't see! The floor was uneven and cold. The pastor's study and church schoolrooms upstairs were heated by a "stack robber" attached to the stovepipe.
The minister never walked, he was driven to run. There was so much to do – besides his usual pastoral duties he frequently transported chairs to and from the USO, cleaned the building, and cajoled the oil heater into producing a few degrees of warmth.
Due to growth of the congregation and church school, plans to build were pushed ahead until a six-month shipping strike delayed the whole project. The younger Sunday school class had been meeting in the smaller log cabin for some time.
In 1947 construction was begun on a permanent church building. Most of the work was done by volunteers often using salvaged materials. Dr. Henry C. Mechlenberg of the Department of Field Service and Finance of the Section of Church Extension came to help and to direct the work on the building.
On October 5, the parsonage family welcomed son David into its busy household. That fall George developed a severe infection from working with insulating materials and was hospitalized for several weeks followed by convalescing at home.
Christmas Eve there was the thrill of holding the first service in the new basement. The oil heater with a stovepipe through a window furnished token heat and the basement continued to be our place of worship for many months. Changes were made; finishes added, an enlarged heating system installed, running water and a kitchen. Planks were used for sweating along with added chairs until some used seats were borrowed from the Lutheran Church.
The upper two stories were completed with the Sunday school rooms at the east end of the main floor for use by the younger classes. By February 1948, the pastor's family moved into the apartment on the first and second floors at the west end of the building. The building was now called the Bruce R. Baxter Methodist Church, in honor to Bishop Baxter who had died a few days before the Alaskan Mission Conference was held in Seward in 1947.
On June 17,1948 the Dolch family returned to its home conference in New York leaving a church of 116 members, a growing church school and usable building.
In June 1948, the Rev. Edward Purviance and his family arrived. His first major effort was to plan for completion of the sanctuary during that fall and winter. During the winter three classes of primary and beginners met in the church kitchen, a space approximately 11 x 15 feet. Also, the parsonage living room was a pastor's study became classrooms. The church School nearly doubled in attendance that year.
The larger log cabin was moved off the property, the other with various trash was demolished and hauled away be volunteers. The yard was leveled and temporary grass sown.
Soon the Lutheran Church required their benches to be returned. Members and friends pledged to buy one or more folding chairs as replacements. Twenty were given by WSCS of the Seattle Queen Ann Methodist Church. Sixty-two chairs were secured in this way.
As the church neared completion it was evident that many things were needed. Memorials and gifts were many; two pulpits, a pulpit Bible, carpeting, candelabra, alter picture, neon sign, movie projector and screen, pews, organ and baptismal font.


All measures have been taken to distribute free textbooks among the students from pre-primary to class nine on January 1, 2019 across the country.
Education Minister Nurul Islam Nahid made the disclosure at a view-exchange meeting with National Curriculum and Textbook Board (NCTB) officials at the NCTB auditorium in the city on Thursday.
"About 360 million textbooks will be distributed free of cost among the students from pre-primary to secondary level on the first day of 2019," he said, reports BSS.
NCTB Chairman Professor Narayan Chandra Saha presided over the meeting attended by board members and NCTB officials, said an official release here.
Nahid said 210 million textbooks have already reached the district and upazila levels while the remaining books will be sent by December 10.
Hailing the NCTB officials, he said the NCTB is successfully performing its activities regarding distribution of textbooks on the first day of the year.
However, distributing all textbooks on the first day of the year is a unique example in the world, the minister said, adding, "We are distributing the textbooks for the last 10 years free of cost".

Tariffs a problem, but USMCA could give Magna a leg up: Walker
Agreement encourages auto companies to invest or expand in the US and Canada.
by Christopher Reynolds
Magna CEO Don Walker.
AURORA, Ont. — The head of Magna International Inc. says US tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum continue to dent the auto parts maker, but suggested President Donald Trump's move to rev up production lines on US soil could give it an advantage.
"I think the tariffs continue to hurt us," chief executive Don Walker said, citing higher costs.
"It's mainly hurting our US plants right now, because it's very difficult to get offsets for that."
The US slapped tariffs of 25% and 10% on steel and aluminum imports, respectively, from Canada in June, prompting retaliatory tariffs by Canada.
However, the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement, signed in November but still awaiting ratification, encourages auto companies to invest or expand in the US and Canada. It requires that 40 per cent of a car's content be made where auto workers earn at least $16 an hour and sets a higher threshold for North American content.
"I think, logically, the more production is brought into the States, the better it should be for Magna because we're the biggest supplier here. We have a big footprint by a large amount over anybody else," Walker told a conference earnings call with investors to discuss the company's latest results.
The Ontario-based company has about 25,000 employees in the US, 23,000 in Canada and 28,000 in Mexico, placing it in the middle of ongoing uncertainty around the tariffs and the trade deal.
Just how soon the renewed trade agreement can be implemented remains up in the air.
It likely can't be passed until the tariffs are lifted, said Gordon Giffin and Jim Blanchard – former US ambassadors to Canada – and former Canadian ambassador to the US Gary Doer at a panel in Washington, DC. Meanwhile, a number of Democrats and Republicans maintain they won't support the trade pact in its current form.
Magna estimates the US tariffs will cost it between US$45 million and $50 million in 2019, following a $30-million hit in the last two quarters.
A spokeswoman said the number could go down, "depending on mitigation efforts," or up if the US follows through on threats to raise tariffs on $200 billion worth of Chinese goods to 25% from 10%.
"I'm not a big fan of tariffs in general," Walker said. "There's higher tariffs between the US and China, so the input costs go up a little bit."
US tariffs against China have triggered a tit-for-tat trade war affecting hundreds of billions of dollars in goods over the past year.
"There are so many moving pieces right now. It's hard to tell what's going to happen," Walker said.
Magna incurred an impairment charge of US$60 million last quarter related to its transmission supply business's joint venture with Ford in Europe.
"This impairment reflects future volume declines for manual transmissions, which Magna previously mentioned was experiencing demand headwinds," said BMO Capital Markets analyst Peter Sklar in a research note.
Magna raised its dividend Friday as it reported its fourth-quarter profit fell from the same period a year earlier.
The company, which keeps its books in US dollars, said it will now pay a quarterly dividend of 36.5 cents per share, up from 33 cents per share.
The increased payment to shareholders came as Magna said it earned $456 million or $1.37 per diluted share for the quarter ended Dec. 31. That compared with a profit of $559 million or $1.54 per share in the same quarter a year earlier.
Sales totalled $10.14 billion, up from $9.68 billion.
On an adjusted basis, Magna said it earned $1.63 per share for the quarter, up from $1.58 per share a year earlier.
Analysts on average had expected a profit of $1.59 per share, according to Thomson Reuters Eikon.

#10 in my favourite songs of 2011 is "Boo Shuffle" by The Pipettes! Oh how I love The Pipettes! They had my #1 song of 2006 with "Pull Shapes" while "Your Kisses Are Wasted On Me" came in at #7 that same year. Also that year, "Dirty Mind" came in at #12 and "Judy" came in at #18.
In 2007, the released a video for "Because It's Not Love (But It's Still A Feeling)" while on tour in the US. The song came in at #11 on my 2007 countdown. I saw them in concert in San Francisco that year and I met them after the show and got their autographs. Sadly, no photos.
In 2010, The Pipettes came in at #3 with "Call Me" and in at #10 with "Stop The Music." I do wish "Thank You" had been the last single from their second album, as it was divine.
I don't always like The Pipettes' single covers as it doesn't feature pictures of them. You can see the original cover here. Here is the cover I made with a photo someone took at the filming of the video.
I actually saw The Pipettes in concert this year in San Francisco. They were AMAZING! And of course, I knew most of the dance moves to their songs! Yes, really! After the show we got to meet them and they were so very nice and sweet.
Davearama meets The Pipettes: Gwenno, Dave, and Ani.
They actually played "Boo Shuffle" in concert. It was the only song I didn't know. Their first album was very 60s wall of sound. Their second album was like 70s disco with a hint of funk. The latest single sounds like it could have been on their first album. So I'm not sure which musical direction they are going, but it doesn't matter, they are FAB!
For the video, a group of dancers called The Actionettes help out. The daughter of late producer Martin Rushent named Amy, can be seen dancing between Ani and Gwenno and sitting next to them at the piano. Martin produced The Pipettes second album, as well as this single.

Before you assume justice has been served in the case of LAPD Officer Mary O'Callaghan, you might want to hear all of the facts. The police officer was recently found guilty of assault in the case of a woman who died in police custody.
That's right, the charge is assault even though a woman died.
Almost three years ago, O'Callaghan, 50, was called to assist in the arrest Alesia Thomas, who had been taken into custody by officers investigating a possible child abandonment claim, reports KTLA. So there were already police on the scene and O'Callaghan was back up.
A police cruiser's camera captured O'Callaghan kick Thomas in the stomach and groin area and push her in the throat while she was in handcuffs and leg restraints.
Paramedics were called after Thomas lost consciousness while still in the patrol car and Thomas was pronounced dead by the time she reached the hospital. Kind of like Freddie Gray in Baltimore.
The prosecutor declined to charge the officer with involuntary manslaughter, saying there was "not enough evidence" to link Thomas's death to the assault. The coroner's office later said cocaine intoxication likely played some part in her death, but that chop to the neck likely did also (just saying).
O'Callaghan, an 18-year veteran of the LAPD, faces up to three years in state prison to be served in county jail, the DA's office said. O'Callaghan's lawyer said they will appeal.

I feel like an official grown-up, having to work on my birthday and all… but the super delicious cakes in tonight's cooking class totally make up for that fact! When I found that my cooking class night fell on my birthday, I decided to build the whole schedule around making cakes for tonight's class! Next week we are back to savory foods, but tonight it was all about the dessert!
I made my favorite Chocolate Pumpkin Cake with Whipped Ganache and an Apple Spice Cake with Carob-Caramel Frosting. The Apple Spice cake is a recipe I got from have cake, will travel, one of my favorite vegan bloggers. Celine always posts incredible goodies, and this is no exception. I made a few changes (as seen in the recipe below), and her original can be found here. The frosting was adapted from Veganomicon by Isa Chanda Moskowitz and Terry Hope Romero. I swapped the soymilk powder for some carob and was *stunned* with this creative and fun frosting. The Chocolate Pumpkin Cake I wrote about last week, but seeing as how it was part of the cooking class and the insane deliciousness of it all, I will post it again here. I don't have any photos now, but there were people with cameras, so perhaps some will arrive soon. I might have been wearing a birthday hat… and a fake flower lei; we will see if the evidence shows up … enjoy the cakes!
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly coat an 8-inch baking pan with a thin layer of oil.
2. Sift the flour, salt, spices, sugar, baking powder and egg replacer powder in a large bowl.
3. In another bowl, whisk applesauce, oil, and apple juice until combined. Stir wet ingredients into dry, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
4. Place into prepared pan and bake for 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
5. Transfer onto a wire rack to cool completely before topping with Carob-Caramel frosting.
This frosting recipe is based on the penuche frosting from Veganomicon, but adapted to add more brown sugar goodness and a touch of carob to round it out.
1. Whisk together the sugar, molasses, 1/3 cup soy milk, carob powder and salt in a small bowl. Add to a saucepan with the Earth Balance and warm over medium heat. Stir and bring to a boil. Allow the mixture to boil and foam for about 7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
2. When the mixture has mostly cooled, sift in half the powdered sugar, and beat with a fork until blended well. Slowly beat in the rest of the sugar until a thick, smooth, fudge-like frosting forms. If necessary, add additional soymilk 1 tbsp at a time to create a smooth and creamy consistency.
This is a decadent, amazingly flavorful cake… Perhaps the best chocolate cake ever, originally found at The Conscious Kitchen, which is sadly not online anymore. It can be made in a square 8×8 pan or a 9" round cake pan.
1. Preheat oven to 350°. Prepare your cake pan with parchment paper on the bottom and lightly oil the sides.
2. Break chocolate into small pieces into a glass bowl, and place over a saucepan of boiling water to melt. Stir the chocolate constantly and remove the bowl from atop the pan when just melted. Set aside.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the pumpkin, coffee, vinegar, sugar, vanilla, oil, sea salt and spices.
4. In another large bowl, sift together the cocoa powder, flour, baking soda and baking powder.
5. Pour liquid into dry mixture while whisking until combined in a smooth batter. Pour in melted chocolate and whisk well to combine. Scrape batter into prepared pan and bake 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
6. Cool on a rack for 10 minutes, then remove cake from pan and continue cooling on cooling racks. Let cool completely before frosting.
This recipe makes enough to frost two layers of cake; you can either double the cake recipe or just use the extra chocolate frosting on something else!
1. Place chopped chocolate in the bowl.
2. In a small saucepan, heat milk until just boiling. Pour over the chocolate and let stand 1 minute, then begin to whisk slowly. When beginning to smooth out, add in the Earth Balance, agave and vanilla. Beat until smooth and thick, but still glossy and light.
3. Let cool until the ganache thickens. Spread a thin layer on the cake to just cover, then add a thicker layer to top the cake- using as much ganache as you like.
4. Save the extra for nibbling straight out of the fridge!
No fair to not post the photos!! These cakes sound delicious. I've never seen a carob-caramel frosting before, sounds intriguing.
I'm totally drooling. Not joking. I want that Chocolate Pumpkin Cake with Ganache Frosting! It sounds amazing. Ooh my.
Sorry you didn't make it tonight. I took over your class and made a special pancake using a recipe I recently developed. Everyone loved it. You might want to try it.
It's so good it has pretty much replaced my usual breakfast of oatmeal with bananas, raisins, chopped dried apricots, tahini, etc. And it's very simple.
Mash the banana thoroughly and mix all ingredients well except the water. After mixing add water as needed to make a fairly thick batter — not as thick as bread dough, but thicker than the usual pancake batter.
I use a nonstick rice cooker to keep it contained so the pancake will be almost an inch thick.
Oil the pan. I use mac nut, canola or walnut oil.
Pour the batter into the pan. Cover. The heat will switch to "warm" in a minute or so, but with it covered it will keep cooking slowly. After a few minutes push the lever down so the heat turns on again. If the glass cover is dripping (from the steam), take it off and let the excess water run off. Re-cover and keep it covered (think of it as an oven) until there are lots of bubbles on the surface.
Turn the cake over when you can touch the top of the cake and the batter doesn't stick to your finger. When it's done like this you can lift the pan out and turn it over with your other hand ready to catch the cake. The pancake will drop onto your hand and you can flip it back into the pan with the cooked side up. Turn the heat on again. Keep it covered til done if you like a moist cake. Uncover if you like it dryer.
It's very good plain (no honey or syrup; the banana makes it sweet enough). But I also like to top it with yogurt and strawberries.
Incidentally, Ken Bertoli had it coming!

Should Congress name a Southern post office after a segregationist, vote-suppressing senator?
December 5, 2012 - U.S. Sen. Jesse Helms died in 2008 without ever disavowing his support for racial segregation, which is why some are protesting a bill to name a post office after him in his hometown of Raleigh, N.C. But there's something apropos about the proposal, as Helms pioneered the use of the postal service to promote his divisive politics.

Your View: Are the Democrats responsible for…
Your View: Are the Democrats responsible for world-wide inflation?
CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
Jack W. Paul
A Ukrainian soldier shows a victory-sign Monday in the Donetsk region, Ukraine. The fighting in Ukraine is one of many factors driving worldwide inflation, the author asserts.
By Jack W. Paul |
June 21, 2022 at 11:00 a.m.
I read with interest Anthony O'Brien's recent article, "Bad government policy, not corporate greed is responsible for inflation" (The Morning Call, May 18). O'Brien attributes the current bout of inflation to two factors: Biden's American Rescue Plan and the Fed's slowness in reacting to inflationary pressures.
Certainly, these aspects are relevant. However, the op-ed fails to mention that there were several rounds of economic stimulus bills totaling some $5.74 trillion, $3.84 trillion under Donald Trump and $1.9 trillion under Biden (USA Today March 11, 2021). All these bills were enacted within a one-year period. Consequently, any attempt to assign responsibility for inflation to any one administration seems futile. If anything, one could say that two-thirds can be assigned to Trump and one-third to Biden.
Some economists might argue the last additional stimulus (the one under Biden) triggered the inflation. That might have been the case if the economy had been operating at full tilt during the pandemic. However, similar to what occurred after World War II, when COVID restrictions were relaxed, cumulative savings and the attendant pent-up demand were suddenly unleashed on an economy that was not able to respond on the supply side. The inevitable result has been increased prices.
The editorial asserts that businesses are merely covering costs and essentially are innocent of any price gouging. If businesses are merely covering their (increased) costs, why are corporate profits at a record high?
Assuming comparable operating levels, increased sales revenue affects one of two items: (1) it either goes toward covering increased costs or (2) contributes to additional profits. Are companies taking advantage of the current situation by raising prices by more than the increase in costs and therefore padding profits?
According to the Wall Street Journal ("What Does Inflation Mean for American Businesses," Nov. 15, 2021) nearly two-thirds of the biggest U.S. publicly traded companies reported higher profit margins in 2021. One hundred of the largest companies reported profit margins that were at least 50% higher than 2019, as inflation in October 2021 hit a 31-year high.
Companies such as mattress maker Sleep Number Corp. and heating and cooling equipment manufacturer Carrier Global Corp. pushed through several price increase in 2021.
Ametek, a manufacturer of industrial instruments, indicated its price increases more than offset cost increases. CEO David Zapico stated in a conference call that, "We're going to stay up ahead of inflation, and I expect that to be true next year." Many CEOs indicated they are staying ahead of the inflation curve.
Most importantly, this current bout of inflation is not confined to the United States; it's a worldwide phenomenon. As of May 27, inflation ranged from 2.5% in Japan (2019 inflation: 0.8%) to 12.1% in Brazil (2019 inflation: 4.3%). Germany's rate was 7.4% (2019 inflation: .5%), Sweden's 6.4% (2019 inflation: .8%), and the U.S. inflation rate was 8.3% (2019 inflation: 2.3%). The U.S. is being buffeted by many factors beyond its borders that are causing inflation in the country.
On the demand side is (1) the global fiscal stimulus that added to savings and (2) the pent-up demand unleashed after COVID restrictions were relaxed. Developed countries cumulatively spent huge sums on COVID relief through various measures, including direct injections of funds into the economy, wage subsidies, and/or business grants and loans. For example, as a percentage of gross domestic product, Japan's stimulus was 42.2%; Brazil's was 12%; Germany 20.3%; Sweden 20.9%; and the U.S. 18.3%. At 18.3% of GDP, the stimulus enacted by the United States is in line with other countries and by no means the highest.
On the supply side, unprecedented dynamics arising from the pandemic and the war in Ukraine have affected the global economy, triggering both U.S. and worldwide inflation. These events include:
The supply-chain crisis following the lifting of COVID restrictions. The delays hobbled the ability to supply many products on a timely basis.
Lockdowns idling Chinese factories.
Labor shortages, partially affected by immigration restrictions, have contributed to a wage spiral.
The war in Ukraine restricted world food production. For example, before the war, Russia and the Ukraine supplied 30% of global exports of wheat and a high percentage of other grains, such as barley and corn.
Sanctions on the Russian economy have severely affected world energy prices. Russia is the third largest oil producer behind Saudi Arabia and the United States.
The stimulus enacted by the United States is not excessive when compared with other countries. I would characterize the supply-side factors as being the more significant culprits responsible for the inflation we are experiencing.
In short, the injections of money into the world economy by the U.S. and other developed countries, the ensuing release of pent-up demand after the easing of COVID restrictions and, in particular, the unprecedented supply-side constraints, have created a perfect storm resulting in both U.S. and global inflation.

Митко Маџунков (Струмица, 19. март 1943) македонски је романсијер, приповедач, драмски писац и есејиста који је оставио значајан траг у српској књижевности и култури.

Биографија
Митко Маџунков је рођен у Струмици 19. марта 1943. године. Основну и средњу школу је завршио у родном граду, а Филолошки факултет у Београду, група светска књижевност са теоријом књижевности. Након дипломирања на универзитету, остао је да живи у Београду и дуго је радио као библиотекар-саветник у Библиотеци града Београда, где је и пензионисан.

Године 1970. постао је члан Удружења књижевника Србије, а 1986. члан Друштва македонских писаца, а такође је члан Удружења независних књижевника. Маџунков се 2006. преселио у Македонију. Изабран је 2003. године за ванредног члана Македонске академије наука и уметности, а 2007. постаје редовни члан МАНУ.

Рад
Свој пробој на књижевну сцену Маџунков је постигао у Београду и дуго времена није био довољно цењен у Македонији. Међутим, касније је ова неправда исправљена и, као признање високог квалитета његове прозе, Маџунков је изабран за члана Македонске академије наука и уметности. Основна одлика Маџунковљевог стварања је епски карактер његових романа. Његови романи су обимни и при томе су међусобно испреплетани. Стога се неки главни и успутни ликови провлаче у више романа. Осим тога, у избору ликова и ситуација, Маџунков често убацује аутобиографске елементе. Он пише у маниру блиском јужноамеричком магичном реализму, то јест, у његовим делима провејавају чудни догађаји, необјашњиви случајеви, необични ликови итд. Ипак, врло често у своја дела умеће ликове, локације и легенди струмичког краја.

Маџунков је аутор збирки приповедака:
 Чудан сусрет (Београд, 1970; Скопље, 2010),
 Убиј говорљивог пса (Београд, 1973; Скопље, 1988. и 2011. године),
 Над троскотот облаци (Скопље, 1974),
 Мирисот на земјата (Скопље, 1984)
 Чудна средба; Над троскотот облаци (Скопље, 1986).

Поред тога, написао је неколико збирки кратке прозе:
 Међа света (Београд, 1984; Скопље, 1985 и 1990),
 Парадоксален сон (Скопље, 1987)
 Бегството и повторното раѓање на зографот (Мелбурн)
 Дрвото на Нарајана (Скопље, 1998)
 Дарови неба (Панчево, 2007),
 Грабнувањето на Европа (Скопље, 2008).

Посебно место у његовом стварању имају романи:
 Кула на брду (Београд, 1980; Скопље, 1981. и 1999),
 Александров дом (Скопље, 1992; Београд, 2002; Скопље, 2005),
 Кон другата земја (Скопље, 1993, Битола, 2008),
 Времето на ирвасите (Скопље, 2003, Софија, 2010),
 Птиците од ланските гнезда (Скопље, 2013).

Маџунков је аутор есеја:
 Штркот единак и неговото јато (Скопље, 2000),
 Чехов или Тајна приповедања (Београд, 2006),
 Родното место на литературата (Скопље, 2008).

Маџунков је аутор више драма извођених на позоришној сцени и објављених у посебним књигама:
 Големиот Смок,
 Сенката
 Пуста земја,
 Пат за Лихнидос
 Мелница,
 Чудо големо.

Коначно, Маџунков је састављач антологије Приповетке о Београду 1-2.

Награде
Маџунков је добитник низа књижевних награда, као што су: "Исидора Секулић" (за збирку приповедака Убиј говорљивог пса, 1974), "Рациново признание" (за Међу света), награда "Војдан Чернодрински" (за "Големиот Смок" и "Сенката"), награда "Детска радост" за роман године (Александров дом), награда Македонске књижевне фондације за књигу године (за Кон другата земја), награда "Роман године" дневника Утрински весник за 2013. годину (за Птиците од ланските гнезда), а два пута је добио и годишњу награду града Струмице.

Marauding terrorist attacks are fast-moving, violent incidents where assailants move through a location aiming to find and kill or injure as many people as possible
Basis of the guidance
Introducing the MTA Guidance
Short Animation - Lockdown at sites
Short Film - Café Lockdown Drama
Marauding Terrorist Attack Standard (MTAS)
Further advice
Marauding terrorist attacks (MTA) are fast-moving, violent incidents where assailants move through a location aiming to find and kill or injure as many people as possible. Most deaths occur within the first few minutes of the attack, before police are able to respond.
MTAs can take many forms and include a combination of the following:
A lone attacker, multiple attackers or multiple groups of attackers
Arrival at a location on foot, in a vehicle or an attack perpetrated by insiders
Entering without using force or forcing entry using an explosive device, a vehicle, coercion of someone with access or a combination thereof
Attackers armed with bladed weapons, firearms, pipe bombs, petrol bombs suicide vests or multiple weapons
Bladed weapon attacks progress less rapidly than those involving firearms since attackers must be within striking distance of their victims and expend more energy on eac h person.
It is more important than ever that your organisation or premises is aware of the heightened risks and adequately prepared for any potential attack. CPNI have also produced guidance to enhance the capability of SCR operators to respond to the immediate impact of a terrorist incident.
New and detailed guidance is now available providing information as to the range of measures that can be taken to minimise the impact of an attack and help save lives. These measures range from implementing simple changes to security processes and technical systems to introducing new and sophisticated security systems. This guidance sits alongside the Run Hide Tell campaign, which is designed for general members of the public. The MTA guidance is designed to help organisations develop a security plan, based on the principles of RHT.
Marauding Terrorist Attacks: Making your organisation ready discusses how your organisation can recognise an attack, take immediate action and facilitate the police. It is most relevant to office buildings, including multiple tenancy buildings. However, the principles of the advice can be usefully applied to all types of locations including cinemas, hotels, hospitals, schools, shopping areas, shopping centres, stadiums, theatres, temporary event venues and transport hubs.
The guidance has been written and based on:
Extensive analysis of previous MTAs in the UK and elsewhere around the world
Live simulations of marauding attacks involving hundreds of people to understand where responses can fail and test the effectiveness of training, procedures and security systems.
Reviews and discussions with businesses that have highlighted common issues.
CPNI and NaCTSO have developed a series of guides to help your organisation assess the risk and implement a range of protective security mitigations. These guides are based on analysis and learning from MTAs that have taken place, live simulations of attacks and exercises and feedback undertaken with businesses.
The 10 guidance pieces are:
MTA: A Busy Reader's Guide to Making Your Organisation Ready, which provides a high level summary of the key issues for senior managers.
MTA: Making your organisation ready, which is the principal guidance document setting out all of the protective security mitigations and considerations
MTA: Technical supplements, providing further information of specific topics that are important to effective defences.
This guidance also contains checklists contained in the documents, to help you establish next steps.

Considerations for locking doors to delay and frustrate attackers
CPNI have produced an animation which discusses the application of lockdown at sites. It explains that lockdown can be an effective measure to reduce casualties and fatalities. It discusses the need to design lockdown of a site and the complexities of lockdown management. It offers options of the types and ways to lock down which ensures acting fast can save lives.
This animation is part of a series of terrorist incident films for organisations and businesses and should be used as a discussion piece about the application of lockdown at your sites .
It focuses on lockdown of a site. Lockdown should only be implemented if that is the best course of action

Lockdown can be an effective method of keeping people safe, but it is not suitable for every site or attack method.
During a Marauding Terrorist Attack most deaths will occur within the first few minutes. By instigating a lockdown, the number of casualties can be greatly reduced.
You must know your Lockdown procedure to ensure it can be implemented quickly when an attack is detected.
During an attack, every barrier and every second counts and it is important to keep valuable distance between attackers and innocents.
Through locking down you are able to delay attackers, help innocents escape, prevent people from putting themselves into an attacker's path.
The larger and busier your site is, the greater the complexity of implementing lock down becomes. Familiarity with the lockdown options at your site is vital.
Lockdown is typically most useful when an attack begins outside of your site, where you can delay or prevent any attackers gaining access. But there are lockdown options to implement even when an attack is underway inside a site.
Types of Lockdown
One way lockdown
A One Way Lockdown can be a strong choice. Doors are locked on one side, but can be opened from the other side which keeps attackers out and can prevent the risk of crush or becoming trapped by an attack.
Good announcements and communication from the Security Control Room is paramount to
provide information about the location of attackers. Announcements can also provide an update on the lockdown status of the building to those inside.
This is to prevent locked doors being inadvertently opened allowing attackers to access the safe areas.
Two Way Lockdown
A Two Way Lockdown, means both sides of a door are locked and no one can exit or enter through the door.
Two way lockdown is achieved either by manually locking down the doors or by disabling the Automatic Access Control systems.
Once a two way lockdown is implemented, the function to leave and enter is disabled. People remain in the area that they were in when lockdown was initiated.
Implementing a two way lockdown needs very careful planning. You are taking away people's right to leave and locking people into a specific area of your building.
You also do not want a crowd to flee towards an exit they cannot use. This could potentially cause alarm or a crush.
If attackers gain entry to the locked zone, people wishing to escape will be unable to as they are trapped by the locked door.
Partial Lockdown
By closing entrances, typically the main entrances of a site, an attacker can be kept within or out of specific areas. Allowing other areas or routes within the site for people to escape.
This is a Partial Lockdown.
Zonal Lockdown
Detecting an attack early means you may be able to lock pre-determined areas within your building thus allowing people to safer areas. Some sites may be able to lock dedicated zones such as floor plates in an office block.
However, a complex system of zones that are individually controlled is impractical to manage in the fast pace of a marauding terrorist attack.
Partial and Zonal lockdowns need to be monitored by the Security Control Room and will need to be reactive to the movements of the attackers.
Good communication with the ground security team is vital to track the actions and whereabouts of the attackers in real time. We need to show animation of SCR and Comms with security on ground.
An attack is a fast paced and intense situation, so dynamic lockdowns should be practical and achievable, with reasonable expectations of what can be expected of security staff.
Ways to lockdown
Centralised Lockdown Management
A centralised lockdown system benefits from being easy and fast to implement.
This requires a security control room with access to Automatic Access Control Systems to lock or unlock doors remotely through the one centralised system.
It is beneficial to also give front-line personnel the ability to initiate lockdown.
This could be a panic button on the ground level to help speed up the instigation of any lockdown.
Manual Lockdown
A manual lockdown relies on individuals to lock the doors and barriers. It is important that this should be safe, easy and achievable and you need to check it is physically possible for every barrier to be locked down. A Manual lockdown is only practical where barriers may be locked quickly and from a safe location.
Staff should not put themselves at risk to lock any doors or barriers and should always be putting distance between themselves and any attackers, never moving towards an attack.
Thumb turn locks on doors are recommended.
These are quicker and easier to use and require minimal training and they avoid the use of keys, which may not be immediately available.
Door locks should be placed in easy to access positions for example in the middle of the door, not in hard to reach areas such as at the top or bottom of a door.
Any shutter and door controls should be located away from the door so that they can be operated safely.
Wherever possible centralised and manual lockdowns should be monitored by the security control room to ensure lockdown integrity is maintained.
Lifts and Escalators
If it is possible - lifts and escalators should also be locked down. This can prevent attackers getting easy access to other floors of the building.
However, locking down lifts and escalators is only feasible when they are controlled by a centralised building management system, operated by the security control room and should not be a task expected of ground security staff as it could expose them to danger.
Lockdown Management.
Whatever Lockdown you deploy, it needs to be continually monitored and managed by the Security Control room.
Communication between ground security staff and the control room needs to be maintained at all times, and up to date information shared with the emergency services.
Clear and consistent announcements should be used throughout the lockdown to inform those inside as to the current status of the site and location of the attackers. But be aware that an attack is highly stressful, and people may ignore these announcements.
Designing Your Lockdown
Every site is different and faces its own challenges when designing and implementing lockdown.
You need to consider:
What is reasonably possible and how many access points, do you have within you site?
What barriers and ways of locking them do you have at your site?
Can they be locked manually or centrally and are staff trained to lock them?
How much time is needed to spend time training KEY staff, and briefing ALL staff, on how they should respond to a lockdown.
If a crowd were to attempt to leave using a locked exit, could and should it be opened?
Are crushing injuries a risk if the door remains closed?
Attacks can cause life-threatening injuries or people may have a medical emergency whilst in a locked zone. Should these people be allowed to leave the locked area?
If a fire is started whilst lockdown is in effect, should lockdown be cancelled to allow people to evacuate?
The answer will depend on the nature of the hostile, the ferocity and the location of the fire; its ability to spread and hazards associated with toxic smoke.
What if there are marauding attackers outside the locked zones but a fire inside?
What if a fire alarm sounds, and you are unsure if it is a real or false alarm?
Lockdown can greatly reduce the number of casualties at your site during an attack.
It can control and restrict the movement of an attacker and it can put distance and time between an attacker and their intended targets.
But Lockdown can be difficult to achieve and it may not be appropriate for all sites and all forms of attack.
Because of this, lockdown must be developed, tested, exercised, rehearsed and refined to make sure that the procedure works for your site.
Acting fast will save lives.
Subtitled version
CPNI have also produced a short film which introduces the quick actions a member of staff within a small business can take to lockdown their premise during a terrorist incident. The principles of which can be applied across many types of locations and ultimately acting fast can save lives.
This film is part of a series of terrorist incident films for businesses. It focuses on lockdown of your premises, hiding and alerting others. Lockdown should only be implemented if that is the best course of action.

MTAS has been developed to reflect the range of forced entry threats faced by UK government, national infrastructure and crowded places. It provides a means for determining the delay (resistance time) of a physical barrier (product) against either:
the use of bladed weapons to attack the physical barrier in order to achieve access through it;
the use of firearms to attack the physical barrier followed immediately by a forced entry attempt using manually operated tools; or
detonation of a small explosive device (improvised or plastic explosive) in contact with the physical barrier, or a person borne improvised explosive device (PBIED) in close proximity to the physical barrier, followed immediately by a forced entry attempt using manually operated tools.
Guidance document Introduction to the Marauding Terrorist Attack Standard (MTAS) explains how the standard classifies the delay a product provides to such entry attempts by attributing one or more performance levels to a product. The sophistication levels are BASIC, LOW, MODERATE, HIGH and EXPERT.
Products that achieved MTAS resistance classifications are listed in the following chapter's within CPNI's Catalogue of Security Equipment (CSE).
Doors, Tubestiles, Turnstiles (Note locking hardware on its own will not achieve MTAS. Locking hardware has to be part of door etc)
Walls and Enclosures
The CSE also contains a number of generic designs which are based on CPNI's SME knowledge and research.
For further information please contact your CPNI adviser, your local police force Counter Terrorism Security Adviser or a CPNI recognised security professional.

Ghosts are annoying, so if you want to catch them this holiday season, DIYer TeCoEd has a guide for making a ghost hunting camera using a Raspberry Pi.
The Raspberry Pi-powered camera leans on the idea that ghosts usually show up when it's dark and there's a sudden drop in temperature. So, the Pi monitors temperature, color, and movement, then snaps pictures using the friendly PiNoir infrared camera module. It's a fun project for the holidays that also happens to be totally useful for just snapping nighttime shots of anything moving around your house. Head over to TeCoEd for more info.

Reviews | Adcock's Appliance Service Inc.
Thank you so much for getting our water heater repaired. So thankful we didn't have to buy a new one. We do appreciate you.
Adcock Appliance Service just fixed my dishwasher and I wanted to share how wonderful their service was. They first came and diagnosed the problem - on time, and when they promised. He also gave me a true estimate on my bill - including labor. Returning with the part, as promised my dishwasher was repaired in less than 20 minutes and he even cleaned the debris that had been left behind by the original installer. He left no mess, just a perfectly repaired dishwasher. The bill was exactly as stated. He was very personable, answered all of my 500 questions and even gave me his expert advice on questions about my refrigerator and gas logs. He even had time to talk to me about some baseball and fishing. I would absolutely recommend him and will call Adcock's again!
Best appliance service. Great customer service will definitely use them again.
