Script/Novel Coverage
If you have written narrative material- a novel, a screenplay, a comic book, ect, I will read it and provide two detailed pages of feedback. I provide honest constructive criticism and can focus my insight based on your needs. If you are a writer or are working with a writer, and need to figure out how to take your project to the next level, contact me.
My rate is 30 Simbi per 50 pages for longer works. Shorter works are to be negotiated.
Training & Qualifications
I have worked as a Script Reader for Disruption Entertainment, part of Paramount Pictures, as well as up and coming Indie Film studio "Violet Sky Entertainment."
In addition to my professional experience, I have spent many years reading, writing, and learning about narrative development in a college environment. My screenplay "Monster Movies" was one of the semi-finalists at the DePaul University "First Look Screenwriting Contest".
Anyone interested can feel free to ask for writing or feedback samples.
Availability & Preferences
Contact me any time online. I work fast, and usually can read any submitted material (even longer novels) and provide detailed coverage within a day. However, I must stress the fact that I will always favor quality over speed, and I will inform you if it will take longer than the projected time.

"We're celebrating the 100th anniversary of the state police, so we're trying to showcase some of our toys and resources we bring to the table when it comes to law enforcement and things we can do in the area," said state police Major Richard Allen. "It's kind of celebrating the tradition and history of the state police over the last 100 years," he added. Residents also got the chance to check out forensic and tactical equipment, vehicles, firearms, and other high-tech gear troopers use during their day-to-day... Updated Jul 23 at 9:58 PM

|Reviews for The Codex Equestria: Pony's Fury
| Greatazuredragon chapter 2 . 12/16/2015
Pity this hasn't been updated in so long, it is really interesting.
| purlnsquee94 chapter 2 . 5/26/2014
Oh my goodness, this is wonderful and I love it. I'm somewhere in Season 2 of MLP (college got in the way), but I just finished First Lord's Fury last night/this morning. This is the most entertaining and best written Codex Alera fic I've found so far! I never would've thought to cross them with ponies, although I want to mention this, because it's kind of funny. When I told my brother (who got me into Codex Alera) about this and all the Dresden references, he started muttering about what he'd do with the three holy swords! lol
Can I make a request? I wanna see Bernard and Amara bring Masha to visit Ponyville, 'cause she loves ponies! And I think that would be the cutest thing!
| AyameKitsune chapter 2 . 5/27/2013
*Grins* This is gonna be EPIC! More please!
| enderverse chapter 2 . 3/22/2013
The lolrandumb jokes get a little irritating, but other than that this is a pretty interesting story.

You insane, ingenius bastard, how has this gone so long without update?

| Progos chapter 2 . 3/3/2012
You're going to continue having (or perhaps "allowing") Pinkie to reference Dresden Files and drive poor Harry deeper and deeper into Paranoia, aren't you?
| dude chapter 2 . 1/15/2012
so awsome please update
| Musafreen chapter 1 . 12/9/2011
Pinkie shattering the fourth wall. Fluttershy starign down wax spiders. Derpy Hooves versus Knight Aeris. Harry not being a victim of ponyville crossovers. XD
I think I'm having another of my falling-in-love with random fics attacks. TT_TT This is brilliant. 8D
(Also, I love the chapter title.)
| Karrin Blue chapter 2 . 11/2/2011
Nice Alera-ing of Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy. And...subscribed and favorited.

YOU! DAMN YOU- er wait. That bit's been done hasn't it?
Seriously though, this is funny as hell. Now, I will not rest until I have earned the honor name of Insanar.
Kudos good sir, may this story be long and fruitful.

What tool do you suggest for normal users or authors? XML Spy (4.3+) can be configured for normal text editing using document configurations, but that configuration creation tools are weak and creating a configuration for Forrest dtd's and skins would be not easy. But, e.g. in our company, document writers prefer to create documents in M$ Word.

Movie prices have hit the roof. With Om Shanti Om and Welcome fetching astronomical prices from buyers and also faring exceptionally well at the ticket window, the pricing of forthcoming films is only going higher and higher with each passing day.
The latest is, a leading industrial house has pitched for Jodhaa Akbar. Reportedly, the industrial house has offered Rs. 90 crores for the global distribution rights of the film, inclusive of the lucrative satellite rights. "Really? Is that the rumor doing the rounds of the industry?" Siddharth Roy Kapur of UTV breaks into a big smile, when you question him about it, "It's not true. We haven't been offered that amount by anyone."
But what if there's an offer, will UTV accept it? "We haven't taken a stand yet. It all depends on who makes the offer. After all, Jodhaa Akbar is our baby and our prime concern is to give it the best possible release," Siddharth states.
Suniel Wadhwa of UTV corroborates, "In any case, there's not much time left [the film is fixed for February 15]... the period is too short for anyone to step in. The promotion is in full swing, the publicity material has been dispatched to theatres. Under these circumstances, it would be next to impossible to incorporate the logo of the company on the publicity material. It's not feasible," he reasons rightly.

Due to the fact that May 1 in 2017 is a monday and day off in many countries, we have a small change of the festival dates. The Desertfest Berlin 2017 new days are a Friday 28th, Saturday 29th and Sunday 30th of April, which will surely be better and easier for many of you guys in regards of working shedules/vacations.
This year, we also decided to expand our festival area to all of RAW: that means the wonderful area where our main venue Astra is located. We are stoked to have two more venues with us on board: Cassiopeia and Badehaus Berlin! Within a 3-minute walking distance from Astra, these venues will host more events (concerts and parties) curated by underground labels and promoters.
Desertfest Berlin 2017 will feature more than 40 bands in total!!

Jacqueline Nobile
Store Manager at Goldie's
Currently: Human Resources & Accounts Payable at Rhumb Line Restaurant
Location: Ventura CAShare profile
For a young person, I have wide range of work experience. I started when I was 11 years old; working as a mother's helper. I continued working as a young teenager in restaurants, handing out news papers and various retail environments. Money, of course, is a very encouraging factor, especially for a teenager. But even then, I knew that the skills and relationships I was cultivating would grow in value over time; the kind of personal value that you can't buy with money. Through my experiences I've realized what drives me is having a deep appreciation for what I do and who I work for; I continue to search for a career that gives me a sense of fulfillment. As an intelligent and well rounded person, jobs come relatively easy, but I'm searching for something more than a job. I want the opportunity to fuse my passions and skills into a career. Although I view my work history as "jobs"? and not "careers"?, I value the skills and experiences I've gained from them. Having held an assortment of positions in varying fields I've learned to pick up new skills quickly and work harmoniously in teams and individually. Personally, I seek to lessen the footprint I leave behind on the environment. Other passions of mine include various social causes that aim to improve global quality of life, civil rights and education. Working for an employer that shares those ideals is important to me. I continuously work on growing my network and abilities as I figure out how I want to apply myself in a career. I feel that I've learned more after college and I consistently seek out knowledge. Ultimately, I would love to be a part of something that was mutually beneficial; a place I could apply my skill set, continue learning, be a part of a team and feel my time is well spent and appreciated.

John Gowdy makes a living doing what children spend hours doing every summer on the beach: making sandcastles.
The Atlantic City native uses the whole world for his sandbox as he travels the planet showing sand is as much an artistic medium as paint.
Gowdy, a professional sand sculptor since 1987, discovered his profession when he started taking his children to the Albany Avenue beach. He began digging tidal pools and accidentally piled sand while digging them. He started picking up shells and popsickle sticks to carve castles, and his kids helped. "The Rowdy Gowdys" competed in local amateur contests, and he won his first contest at the former Golden Nugget casino in Atlantic City.
Gowdy, who said some of his creations take as long as four days and more than 50 man hours to complete,was invited to join sand professionals in Florida, learned the trade and eventually formed his own company, Sand Sculptures by John Gowdy & Co.
Sand also has taken him to Italy. He placed first at an international sand contest there, and after repeatedly returning for the contest, he decided to settle in Castelfranco after retiring from the Atlantic City Fire Department.
He recently won the "People's Choice Award" at the World Championship Sand Sculpture Competition in Washington, D.C., with a teammate for "Spiritual Visions," which featured an American Indian chief smoking a peace pipe and visions of wolves in the swirling smoke. He followed that with a first-place people's choice at the North American Sand Sculpture Championship in Virginia for "Love Never Grows Old," which featured an old couple watching "I Love Lucy" with carvings of the couple at younger points in their lives.
His goal is to bring the World Championship of Sand Sculpture to Atlantic City in 2011, and said the organizers of the event are receptive to the idea.
"Sand modelers worked the crowds on the Atlantic City Boardwalk from 1897 to 1944," Gowdy said. "I have proposed to bring these artists back to Atlantic City. (It) attracts the public from 2 to 102. What better family event could possibly be brought to Atlantic City?"
Short Stories
Ocean City can consider its bay views a lot cleaner thanks to its Environmental Commission. Bill Stuempfig and Pete Ault organized two bay cleanups this fall on behalf of the commission. Between sessions held Sept. 26 and Oct. 10, volunteers removed more than 20 bags of recyclables and about two truckloads of trash. "Nobody likes to look at trash," Ault says, "and there are all sorts of other consequences of leaving trash out in the environment. (Removing) it makes people happy and it keeps the community clean."

In the Baliem Valley in central New Guinea lived a Stone Age tribe which survived into the twentieth century - the Kurelu. Matthiessen joined the Harvard-Peabody Expedition of 1961 which set out to study the tribe as unobtrusively as possible, living among the Kurelu for two seasons. The result was this classic account, not of the expedition but of a lost culture; the Kurelu's timeless rhythms of work and play, of warriorship, feasting and funerals. In "Under the Mountain Wall", Matthiessen illuminates the lives of the Kurelu's with respect and sympathy, capturing a culture untouched by civilisation and vanishing along with the wilderness lying beneath the dramatic peaks of the Snow Mountains.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Peter Matthiessen is a naturalist, explorer and writer. His works of fiction include At Play in the Fields of the Lord, Far Tortuga and the acclaimed 'Watson Trilogy'. His explorations have resulted in many fine works of non-fiction, among them The Snow Leopard, The Cloud Forest and The Tree where Man was Born.

Red Sox crush Rays in Game 1 of ALDS: Quick hits
Game 1 of the ALDS in Boston is in the books, and the Sox prevailed by a score of 12-2. Let's break it down.
MORE: ALDS Game 1 boxscore
Game 1 of the ALDS between the Rays and Red Sox? Not close. At all. The host Sox throttled the Rays by a score of 12-2 and, not surprisingly, dominated their familiar opponents in every phase. Let's take a closer look ...
Hero: Jon Lester. It started out as a spotty day for Lester. Frustrated after what he thought should've been a called third strike, Lester gave up a homer to Sean Rodriguez in the second. And then came a shot by Ben Zobrist in the fourth. Not long after that, though, Lester retired 11 in a row at one point and eventually handed a comfortable lead over to the strong Boston bullpen. On the day, Lester struck out seven in 7 2/3 innings of work, and 71 of his 114 pitches went for strikes. On a windy day in Fenway and facing a lineup with six right-handed bats and two switch-hitters, it could've been a rough day for a lefty like Lester. It wasn't.
Goat: Rays defense. In the course of the Red Sox's five-run fourth inning, Wil Myers got confused on deep fly he had been calling all the way, which led to an automatic RBI double for David Ortiz. Then four batters later, Matt Moore was unfocused covering first on a right-side grounder, which allowed Stephen Drew to leg it out, which, in turn, allowed Gomes to score all the way from second on, again, an infield single. Then Jose Lobaton let a third strike bounce away, which allowed Jacoby Ellsbury to reach on a passed ball and prolong an already interminable inning. Sean Rodriguez also had trouble on multiple balls off the Green Monster. This, of course, is a team typically known for its fielding excellence. In fact, this season, the Rays ranked second in the AL in defensive efficiency (i.e., the percentage of balls in play that a defense converts into outs).
Turning point: Had Wil Myers caught David Ortiz's deep fly in the fourth (here's what happened on that particular play), then the Sox would have had one out and a runner on first in the fourth. Instead, the ball bounded over the wall for a double, and the stage was set for a big, game-changing inning. Five runs followed, and the Rays' lead was gone for good. Sure, it could've still been a crooked number on the board even if Myers had made the play, but the Ortiz double certainly changed the tenor of the frame.
It was over when: Jarrod Saltalamacchia's fifth-inning double plated two runs and pushed the margin to 7-2. That two-bagger also, per FanGraphs, pushed the Sox's changes of winning the game to 95.7 percent. The keen observer will note that that figure is close to 100 percent.
Next: The Rays and Red Sox will meet for Game 2 on Saturday. Game time is 5:30 pm ET, and David Price will oppose John Lackey.

It's what we all want. We like to know our Goliaths can be taken down. We like to know Superman has a kryptonite. Just like us! Is there anything more annoying than watching some great athlete excell at everything? Probably so. But still, it's awful. It's like, OK, fine, you're awesome at basketball, but do you have to be able to learn to water ski in two minutes too? Ugh. The worst. Yao spares us of that with his golf performance at a charity event in his native China. Good on you, Yao. Good on you.

In addition, Reider announced that he was leaving after three plus years at the agency.

MAST: Where to meet staff
The Writing Center
The Writing Center opened in 2007 to support and build enthusiasm for all types of writing. Staff and trained student coaches work with students on writing assignments from any class, as well as college essays and scholarship applications. To schedule a conference, make an appointment in advance at the WC front desk; otherwise, walk-in appointments are often available during zero hour, lunch, and after school (download the Academic Support Schedule for further details).
The Writing Center is a great environment to study individually or collaborate with a small group—all are welcome! Hang out, schedule a conference, use the computers and ask questions as you write. If you're trying to clarify a thesis, integrate or analyze quotations, make inferences, organize or revise, writing coaches are here for you.
The Writing Center is endowed by the Minnetonka Public Schools Foundation.

Frequently asked questions about writing conferences
Who will meet with me?
The Writing Center (WC) staff and student coaches are well‐trained to listen, guide, and ask questions that will help you improve your paper. You will either be paired with a coach who is at least one grade level above you, or you can request to meet with a staff member. All seniors meet with WC staff.
When can I drop in?
During zero hour, lunch, or after school. You may not miss a class to come to the Writing Center unless you have a pass from your teacher.
What happens during a writing conference?
You come to the conference with a clear idea of what you want to work on, and your assigned coach or staff member will ask questions and give suggestions. If you are just getting started, the meeting will be spent brainstorming ideas or discussing organization. If you have a draft, you'll go over your assignment and rubric together, then talk about ways you can improve your paper. If you are ready to turn in a paper, your coach will help you proofread it. Throughout each session, take notes so you can make further revisions on your own later.
How far in advance should I schedule a meeting with a WC coach?
A few days before your paper is due, if possible. Some students schedule future appointments the day a paper is assigned; this helps ensure that you will write a rough draft and have time to make changes before the due date. While coaches can work with you the day your paper is due, you probably won't have much time to make revisions so plan ahead!
What if I can't think of a way to start writing? Do I need to bring a draft to an appointment?
Bring the assignment or prompt, as well as any related books or materials, and your coach will help you develop your ideas or talk through the prompt.
Will my coach proofread or edit my paper?
Your coach won't proofread for you, but will help you do it yourself by demonstrating a way to fix it. If you have specific questions about citations, usage, punctuation, etc. your coach will answer them and model how to address the issue throughout your paper. Your coach may also provide you with helpful handouts or online resources.
The Writing Center staff and associated students view themselves as writing coaches. They provide individualized guidance and strategies for writers as they work on academic papers, college essays, or personal writing.
Maggie Shea, Writing Center Coordinator
Maggie taught English at Minnetonka High School and has worked as a freelance writer. Her work has been published in regional and national magazines, as well as the Star Tribune. She earned her undergraduate degree at UW-Madison and her Masters in English Education from the University of Minnesota. She is currently working on her MFA in Creative Nonfiction at Hamline University.
Student writing coaches
Teacher-nominated student writing coaches work in the Writing Center before and after school, conferencing with students and managing the front desk. They also visit classrooms to assist with writing projects, mentor middle school students, help with enrichment events, and play leading roles in our annual spring celebration of writing, "Off the Page."

2000 Green Flag British Formula Three Championship
Round 6 -Brands Hatch, June 3rd/4th.
Report by Stella-Maria Thomas and Lynne Waite
Weather: Hot and sunny.
As the lights turned to green Antonio Pizzonia (Manor Motorsport) made an excellent start to get ahead of pole man Ben Collins (Carlin Motorsport). As far as the Brazilian was concerned that was the last and only excitement of the race. He simply drove away from everyone else, in what was more of a demonstration drive than a race. He pulled out a second a lap at the start to establish a lead of over 14 seconds by mid-distance. On the way to the chequered flag he also set a fastest lap that was over half a second faster than anything anyone else could manage. When asked if it was boring to be so far ahead, he said: "It's never boring when you win!" Of course he might have had a more interesting time if Ben Collins had been able to challenge him. Although Pizzonia was in a class all his own on Sunday, that fact that the second fastest lap was set by Ben Collins does beg the question as to what sort of a run for his money the Englishman could have given the Brazilian teenager...
Unfortunately Ben was in no position to challenge anyone as his Dallara's water temperature began to climb alarmingly. There was nothing for it but to pull into the pits and give up the fight before he cooked the engine. Pizzonia, consequently, was unaware of what was happening to his rival. "I made a good start. I just tried to concentrate a lot this time because I knew it was going to be important. I didn't really pay attention to his car."
An increasing distance back from Pizzonia, Takuma Sato (Carlin Motorsport) was taking quite a mauling from Narain Karthikeyan (Stewart Racing). Although Narain couldn't seem to get by, Sato was never quite able to shake the Indian off. And that was how the two of them would stay, all the way to the flag. Sato was delighted with his latest podium finish while Karthikeyan could see no reason at all to be cheerful.
Sato certainly knew he had been in a race. "It was not an easy race. Very big pressure from Narain. Fortunately I got a very good start; I was second into the Paddock but on the wrong side, but there is a bend and I give him the road of course because the first couple of laps the front tyres didn't warm enough because I have new tyres and I did a big understeering. So that's why I was a little bit off the pace the first two or three laps but then I started going better and it just started happening."
Karthikeyan was deeply unhappy. "I didn't get off very well actually and then Ben Collins got off worse and he blocked me and then Sato passed me and I just settled down for the race. He was quicker than me in all the right places, although overall he was a little bit slower so I couldn't really pass. It's been a nightmare season so far. It really hasn't been going very well. It's been a bad one." Even finishing in front of Scheckter didn't improve his mood: "It means nothing really. The car is not working very well and I'm not happy. We don't know why it's not working." At least they now have time to do some testing.
In trouble right at the start was Andy Priaulx (Promatecme UK). He didn't get any further than Paddock Hill Bend before being pitched off in the melee of the first lap. He wouldn't be alone there for long. A lap later, Juan Manuel Lopez (Manor Motorsport) joined him. A poor start had dropped him back into the clutches of Warren Carway (Rowan Racing) who promptly pushed the unfortunate Argentinean into the gravel. Maybe Warren was excited by having someone else to play with; maybe he just wasn't looking in his mirrors. Certainly Lopez didn't think he was. Based on what happened at Silverstone and here it might be an idea if the others were to get together and buy him some bigger ones.
The main story of the race outside of Pizzonia's stunning demonstration was probably that of Tomas Scheckter (Stewart Racing). Never one to turn down an opportunity he took advantage of first lap confusion to move himself up to 7th and then set about gaining as many places as he could before the close of the race. He was probably hoping to snatch fastest lap as well but there was no chance of that, especially when he found himself behind Milos Pavlovic (RC Motorsport). The lanky Yugoslav was having one of his better days after the last round, and he wasn't about to make it easy for the South African. It must have felt like a lifetime to Scheckter before he finally snatched 5th place with a classic dive up the inside at Paddock. He was then able to set off in pursuit of Michael Bentwood. It wasn't long before he was all over the back of the Fortec Motorsport car but again it took some time before he was able to complete the move. The Fortec car was very wide but it wasn't handling at all well.
Eventually he did exactly the same to Bentwood as he had to Pavlovic, squeezing through into Paddock. It was too late, however, to do anything about third place. Even if he had been able to catch Karthikeyan and Sato in the time remaining, it seems unlikely that he would have been able to do anything about them without at least one of them crashing out, so it was probably just as well that he ran out of time and had to settle for 4th.
Martin O'Connell (Rowan Racing), meanwhile, had his own train behind him and wasn't making any friends but he was certainly showing better than he has in most races this year. This wouldn't do much to cheer up Gianmaria Bruni (Fortec Motorsport) or Matt Davies (Promatecme UK), but neither of them could quite find a way by so they had to stay behind him till then end. And just behind them was the Scholarship Class winner. This had the usual feeling of inevitability about it as Gary Paffett (Fred Goddard Racing) simply strolled home in 10th overall, after beating off Championship Class driver Westley Barber (Alan Docking Racing) at the start.
"It was a good race. I got a good start off the line, got past Westley off the line which was a relief for me... after last weekend" (Silverstone) "I definitely don't trust him! I made a good start, kept out of trouble for the first corner. Westley got a bit close a couple of times but he wasn't close enough to make a move at all. We were quite comfortable in the race just sitting close behind Matt but you get too close and you just lose downforce. I didn't want to push it too hard and go off. The car was a lot better because we changed the car quite a bit for the race, had a bit of a gamble, but it paid off and we went two tenths quicker than we did in qualifying."
Westley might, of course, have been more of a problem had he not had to spend the closing laps of the race looking in his mirrors and wondering if he was about to lose the final point for 10th in class to Nicholas Kiesa (RC Motorsport). After a problem at the start the Dane had recovered but it was too much to hope that he would get into the top 10 from there. And behind him Warren Carway was busy making another friend. As Tor Sriachavanon (Alan Docking Racing) went to pass the Irishman, the Rowan driver drove into the Thai, forcing him onto the grass. To be fair, he did go and apologize later, but what on earth has happened to Warren in the last two races? Whatever it is, it's definitely a case of "no more Mr. Nice Guy." If he keeps on like this he'll have no friends left by Spa!
Just to really rub in the message about Paffett, the only man apart from him to lead a lap in the Scholarship Class, Atsushi Katsumata (Team Meritus), became the 3rd and final occupant of the Paddock Hill car park, thus drop kicking himself out of the chance of taking 2nd place in the series from his team mate Marcel Romanio. This was a pity as he had only just demoted Craig Fleming to 3rd in class as they swept into Clearways. So Fleming inherited 2nd place, from Ryan Walker (Diamond Racing), Mark Mayall (Diamond Racing) and Christian Colombo (Rowan Racing).
The final non-finisher was Andrew Kirkaldy (Avanti) after a less than happy afternoon.

Look, the idea that the Templar's took the gold from Solomon's Templar is complete and total bunk. By the time the Templars were formed Jerusalem had been occupied by rome and then islam for a thousand years. My understanding is that the original Templars used the Dome of the Rock as headquarters and renamed the support mounts beneath the temple mount as Solomon's stable becuase thats where they kept their horses.
Where the Templar's made their money was that they issued "traveler's checks" where a pilgrim could put their money needed for their pilgramage with the Templar organization in Europe and get a piece of paper and cash it in when they got to Jerusalem for walking around money. They also received donations and managed the estates of pilgrims while they were gone.
The king of France wanted the Templar money and the pope was pressuring them to merge with the Hospitaliers, another order that began hospitals for pilgrims that got sick on the joourney. So the standard bogus charges of heresy were leveled. In the inuisition they just had to level the charges and then take your property. Maybe some Templar's got some of their wealth out of the country during this medieval witch hunt. But I've never seen any of it. In fact I got laid off and was facing bankruptcy and a freind who knew I was a Templar said, "why don't you just tap into the secret treasure." Wish I could have but it doesn't exist.
I used to read the masonic publications when I was taking care of a dying mason once. Recently they discovered in the Vatican archives a papal pardon of the Templars.
But its a great moneymaker for authors. Hidden treasure. Secret organizations and oaths. I did enjoy "National Treasure'. Of course part II had to use the lost city of Cibola which is just as mythical. I remember back in the nineties I read one book that said Templars kiss cats or some such nonesense. For some reason it seems the god of this world doesn't like Templars. But its just a medieval order of monks. I would probably be more for the Franciscans than the Templars myself.

In April 1934, the leader of Harbin Jews from Betarim Jew Zionist Movement, Solomon Domonovich, submitted a plan to the Japanese government to give a permission for the Jewish emigrees from Eastern Europe to provisionally settle in Manchuria. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of the Realm Affairs of Japan, however, felt relunctant about the plan after received the protest from the German Embassy in Tokyo.
But, after the plan reached the hearing session in the Congress of Japan in January 1935, the British Embassy contacted President of Japan, Nagayama Yoshida, to support Domonovich Plan. The British government thought the plan could temporarily solved the problem about the establishment of Jewish national homeland in Mandate Palestine. Japanese government itself viewed Domonovich Plan for being too risky to be realized as stated by the Japanese prime minister, Suzuki Bunji: "[The realization of the plan is] like eating a fugu."
In April 24, 1935, Isaac Steinberg, the leader of Jewish Territorialists' Freeland League, wrote a letter personally to Foreign Minister of Japan, Hayashi Kiroku, to persuade the Congress of Japan to give the immigrational permission to Manchuria. After a heated debate at the May 7 session, the Congress freezed the plan for about three months before could be hearing again at the parliamentary session.
The plan was brought up again at the August 13 session of Legislative Council of Japan before finally reviewed again at the August 19 session of National Congress that attended by the representatives from Manchurian Parliament and the Harbin Jewish community. The Congressional Commission for Jewish Settlement Affairs in Manchuria (known as "Makino Commission" after its chairperson, Makino Nobuaki) was formed on August 24, 1935.
On its private report to President Nagayama Yoshida, the commission wrote about "the importance of Jewish investation in Japanese national development" and the give a permission to Jewish settlement in Manchuria will "necessarily helped to achieve the aim of Great Economic Plan." The Law of Jewish Settlement was passed by the Congress of Japan on January 2, 1936 and ratified by the Great Council of Manchuria in January 14, 1936. In 1937, the law was revised for allowed Jewish refugees to enter Manchuria without any visa or passport required. By the time when most German Jews arrived, Russian Jews had already settled in the country, mostly in Harbin. As result, a large Jewish ghetto emerged in Harbin throughout World War II.
During World War II, Manchuria was occupied by China. Manchurian Jews under leadership of Jakob Rosenfeld and Abraham Kaufman participated on the resistance movement under the Anti-Fascist Jewish Liberation Committee in 1941. After the Liberation of Manchuria in 1945, the enthusiasm for establishment of a Jewish autonomous region in Manchuria grew significantly. Isaac Steinberg was invited by the Japanese government to personally scout an area on northern Manchuria. After negotiations with the President of the Republic and the Council of Ministers of Japan in May 1946, the delegation of Freeland League and the Japanese government signed a joint declaration in which both parties agreed to establish the Jewish autonomous entity in Shuangyashan.
Some Zionist leaders criticized Japanese government plan for slowing down the realization of Jewish state in Palestine. David Ben-Gurion, the leader of Palestine Yishuv, referred the plan as "the destruction of a hundred-year dream of the Jewish people"
In 1947, the authority of Shuangyashan Prefecture was formally transferred under the direct supervision of Ministry of the Realm Affairs of Japan although nominally still been a part of the State of Manchuria. The Far Eastern Jewish Provisional Administration was formed in Shuangyashan on August 1, 1947 with Isaac Steinberg was elected as the President of Jewish General Council and Solomon Domonovich was elected as the Speaker of Zhanliang Prefectural Council. The flag of the Far Eastern Jewish Conference was hoisted for the first time along with the flag of Japanese Realm in front of Shuangyashan Municipal Council building.
Due the uncertain situation between Palestinian Arab and Zionist Jewish forces in the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, many Jews became pessimistic to the Zionist movement. The wave of Jewish immigration flooded to Zhanliang and lead the Japanese Ministry of the Realm Affairs to limit the number of emigrees per year to be only 2000.
Manchuria was granted its independence by Japan on February 20, 1950. Following the independence of Manchuria, Isaac Steinberg declared the establishment of Jewish Autonomous Community of Zhanliang within the State of Manchuria at the old Shuangyashan Municipal Building. The flag of Japanese Realm was lowered and flag of Manchuria was hoisted along with the flag of Zhanliang Autonomous Community. Yiddish and Japanese was declared as co-official languages. Solomon Domonovich was elected as first Speaker of Legislative Council of Zhanliang and Abraham Kaufman as the Director of Home Affairs Bureau.

On 5th December 2014, a new legal drink-driving limit will be introduced in Scotland. Here's an overview of what you need to know about the new legislation.
On 5th December 2014, a lower drink-drive limit for Scotland will come into effect after the Scottish Government voted in favour of the new legislation to be implemented ahead of the festive season.
It is estimated that an average of 20 people die on Scotland's roads each year in incidents involving drivers who are over the legal driving limit. In an attempt to reduce the number of accidents and the number of drink-driving and blood alcohol counts on the whole, the high-profile campaign is aimed at positively engaging with as many drivers as possible in an effort to provide real-time education and prevent future fatalities.
What is the new limit?
The legal limit has been reduced from 80mg of alcohol per 100ml of blood to 50mg of alcohol per 100ml of blood.
What does this mean for me?
With the possibility of being caught higher than it's ever been previously, it is difficult to measure how many units' means over the limit for you.
Aspects that influence how long it takes for alcohol to leave an individual's system include age, weight and metabolism and as this will vary per person some drivers may now be over limit after consuming just one small glass of wine or a single pint of beer.
The advice given in this initiative when driving is to drink nothing.
Points to Remember not only from December:
1) Police Scotland stop over 80,000 vehicles each month with approximately 20,000 offences committed each month.
2) The Police have an obligation to breathalyse any driver who:
Has been stopped for any moving traffic offence (e.g. faulty brake light, not wearing a seatbelt, using a mobile)
They suspect has been drinking or taking drugs
Has been involved in accident
3) Drivers can definitely still be over the limit the morning after drinking the evening before.
4) It can take roughly around 10 hours for your system to be alcohol-free after having one bottle of wine.
5) It can take approximately 13 hours for your system to be alcohol-free after having four pints of lager or ale.

Product Information
PDS is a specialist manufacturer of top quality dressage bridles.
Designed with performance and comfort in mind the PDS Rolled Dressage bridle has a cleverly designed headpiece that is shaped around the ears and has a wider bearing surface between the ears to reduce poll pressure. The headpiece is beautifully padded with soft leather and has a channel for the noseband strap to sit into, avoiding any discomfort. The crank flash noseband is skilfully shaped to provide a wider surface area to the nose. This reduces the width to the cheek. PDS dressage bridles are softly padded and feature a fabulous patent leather finish with rolled leather detail throughout the bridle. Only the best quality English leather is used.
This product features a raised and padded browband sized for an optimum fit around the head and ears. Included is a pair of rolled half rubber reins.
