The Eaton's Queen Street Store on April 16, 1975. The view looks south on Yonge Street toward Queen Street, the east facade of the Simpson's Store (now The Bay) visible in the distance. Behind the white hoarding, to the north of the Eaton's Store (in the foreground), construction is underway for the northern part of the Eaton Centre.

The Eaton's Queen Street store occupied an entire city block, which was bounded by Yonge, Queen, Albert and James Streets. It was one of the most magnificent retail stores ever built in Canada. I was a young man when it was demolished to build the Eaton Centre, and I must confess that I did not lament its demise, despite having wonderful childhood memories of visiting it. Similar to most Torontonians in the 1970s, I was looking forward to the modern shopping mall that was to replace it and was too obsessed with the future to consider preserving the past. I now regret that I did not pay more attention and take photographs of it before it disappeared in 1977.
The northern half of the Eaton Centre, containing the new Eaton store, opened the same year that demolition commenced on the Queen Street store. The southern half of the Centre opened two years later. In future years, it became obvious that the Centre's Yonge-Street facade had caused the street beside it to deteriorate, as it was a barren wall of concrete, devoid of stores with windows. Many millions of dollars were spent to renovate it to duplicate what the former Eaton's store had always provided. How much better it would have been if the architects had paid more attention to the facade of the old Eaton's Queen Street store. Attractive shops at street level provide a more inviting streetscape, and streets that are inviting attract shoppers, customers for restaurants, and tourists.
When I was a teenager in the 1950s, I considered the T. Eaton Company so immense that it seemed indestructible. It was a retail and manufacturing empire, spanning the nation from Atlantic to Pacific. When it disappeared, in today's terms, it was akin to Tim Horton's, Swiss Chalet, Harvey's, the NHL, or Canadian Tire disappearing from the scene. Similarly, when I attended Shea's Hippodrome, the University Theatre, and the Odeon Carlton or the Odeon Hyland, I never dreamt that in the years ahead, they would all disappear. Only the facade of the University remains to remind us of the days when Toronto included many Canadian-owned commercial enterprises, including the largest of them all—Eaton's.

Eaton's was a retail success story that commenced in 19th-century Toronto. It became one of the most trusted and respected firms in Canada. Its founder, Timothy Eaton, was born in Ireland in 1834 and immigrated to Canada West (Ontario) in 1854, settling in the southwest part of the province. He relocated to Toronto in 1869 and opened a wholesale business on Front Street, near Yonge. However, later in the year, he moved into a rental property at 178 Yonge Street, near the corner of Queen Street, and opened a retail dry goods shop.
In the 1860s, King Street was the main shopping avenue of Toronto. The streets north of King possessed mostly pedestrian traffic, although there were horse-drawn streetcars on Yonge Street, between King Street and the village of Yorkville. The wealthy in their fancy carriages did not often venture as far north as Queen. However, Timothy was more interested in the masses than the wealthy. During the next few years, his store lured shoppers north to Queen Street. Due ever-increasing sales, Eaton's shop was extended 40 feet to the rear and then, it leased the second-storey apartment above the store. It was said that Timothy paid the drivers of the horse-drawn streetcars to announce at the appropriate time in the journey—"Queen Street, all out for Eaton's."
Timothy soon outgrew the building at 178 Yonge, and in 1883, he relocated to 190-196 Queen Street, a short distance north. He now had 52 feet of frontage on Yonge Street, which provided 25,000 square-feet of retail space. His new shop possessed exceptionally tall plate-glass windows, vastly improving the displays of merchandise. This was a new concept, as although many shops at the time contained large windows, they had numerous small panes of glass.
Timothy's merchandising methods, however, were far more revolutionary. He ended the system of bargaining for the price of goods; he sold all items at an advertised fixed price. The store offered no credit, but if customers were not satisfied with their purchases, the items were either exchanged or the money refunded. Customers were also invited to enter the shop to browse, and were not asked to leave if they did not purchase anything within a reasonable period of time, as occurred in other stores. The public quickly warmed to these new ideas and began flocking to the store.
In 1884, Eaton's acquired its first telephone. Also, an overhead pneumatic tube system was installed. A bill for a purchase and the customer's cash were placed in a small container and sent through a pressurized tube to a central service counter. The container was returned with the customer's change and a receipt for the goods. I remember watching this system in operation in the 1940s in the Eaton's Annex store on Albert Street.
In 1886, having grown to employ 1500 employees, Timothy acquired space on Queen Street West, with a frontage of 31 feet. This doubled Timothy's retail space. Eaton's now possessed an "L-shaped" configuration, with an entrance on Yonge and another on Queen Street. The same year, Eaton's installed its first elevator. As a boy, I remember the elevators at Eaton's, operated by women in uniforms, who wore white gloves. They called aloud the floors and stated the goods available on each floor. To allow customers to exit or enter the elevator, the operator opened a heavy cage-like set of iron bars that folded back, accordion-style, and then manipulated the actual elevator doors.
The same year, Eaton's commenced closing on Saturday afternoons during July and August to allow employees to enjoy the summer weather. To compensate, special sales were held on Fridays. Other stores remained open all day on Saturdays during the summer, but their profits were less. My great Uncle Jim worked at Eaton's in the 1920s, and was extremely loyal to the company as he had a cottage in Long branch. He was grateful to be able to depart to visit it on Saturday afternoons, during the summer months. Today, it is difficult to imagine Long Branch as cottage country.
In 1889, Eaton's expanded with another section added to the complex, its west facade on James Street and its north facade on Albert Street. Next, the retail space on Queen Street was doubled in size. In 1891, restaurants were added to the complex, including the Grill Room on the fifth floor and the "Quick Lunch Room" in the basement. Next, a grocery department was opened in the basement. Two years later, a four-storey addition on Albert Street extended the retail space of the store. In 1896, the section on Queen Street was increased to four storeys. In 1903, the mail-order department relocated from the main store to its own building on Albert Street.
The year 1905 was when the first Santa Claus Parade was held. By 1907, Eaton's owned 22 acres of property in downtown Toronto, its retail space within the city-block bounded by Yonge, Albert, James and Queen Streets. Only the small building on the northwest corner of Yonge and Queen was not part of the complex. A building to showcase furniture was acquired on the northwest corner of James and Albert Streets. In 1924, the Georgian Room opened on the ninth floor of Eaton's; many considered it Toronto's first fine restaurant.

When the Eaton Centre was built, it was relocated to the Dundas Street entrance of the store. Today it resides in the basement of the Royal Ontario Museum. It was said that rubbing the toe of the shoe of the bronze figure brought a person good luck. Photo from Wikipedia.

Personal Memories of Eaton's
I was a young boy in the 1940s, and my first memory of the T. Eaton Company was the catalogue that my mother carefully examined each November, prior to our trip downtown to shop for Christmas. It was glossy and colourful, and for me, the section advertising toys particularly exciting. On the day we finally journeyed downtown, my brother and I thought that riding the old square-shaped Yonge Streetcars was part of the adventure. I especially enjoyed the trailer-cars as they swayed considerably as they rattled their way south toward Queen. If we were lucky, we found a place to sit near the coal stove, which was situated in the centre of the streetcar.
After arriving at Eaton's, my mother examined goods on the ground-floor level and then, we went to the basement. This was where there was a tunnel under Albert Street that led to the Eaton's Annex store. Goods were cheaper in this building, and my mother usually purchased bedding and towels there. In the tunnel, the scent of ice cream waffles filled the air, which seemed strange as the walls of the tunnel contained space for selling house paints. Hot dogs and soft ice cream were two other delights that were sold in the tunnel. I remember that the escalators in the Annex were quite narrow and very rickety. On this visit, it seemed forever before we returned to the main store via the underground tunnel, where the aroma of treats again tortured my brother and me.
Today, I wonder if my mother visited the other departments of Eaton's to build suspense before she took us on the elevator to the fifth floor, where Toyland was located. It was a sight beyond the magic of the "Thousand and One Tales of the Arabian nights." The huge diorama containing model electric trains possessed rivers, bridges, miniature towns, and mountains with tunnels. The model trains disappeared into the tunnels and then, shot out on the other side. Some of the trains even emitted smoke.
The display of board games was endless. Snakes and Ladders, Clue, and Parcheesi were my favourites. The games were manufactured from wood and cardboard, as the use of metal was restricted due to the war effort. There was also an amusement ride, a small train that carried passengers on an imaginary trip across Canada. It was 15 cents for adults and 10 cents for children. To save money, my brother and I rode the train without my mother. The train weaved its way across Northern Ontario, the prairies and into the mountains of B. C. It was great!
Of course, the highlight of the trip was visiting Santa, who sat on an elaborate chair in his North Pole castle. The Eaton's Santa Claus was the "real" Santa, my mother had explained to my brother and me. The Santa at Simpson's was merely a helper. Most Torontonians were loyal to one store or the other. My mother preferred Eaton's as she felt that the prices were cheaper. However, we always took the time to view the Simpson's Christmas windows that contained fairy-tale scenes with animated figures. The Bay Store continues this tradition today.
A few years ago, I visited San Francisco during November and visited the Macy's Store on Union Square; it was like being in the Eaton's store of my boyhood. The decorations were lavish and the toy section amazing. The restaurant on the top floor was crammed with people, similar to the days when Eaton's operated restaurants. It is not surprising that Macy's copied the advertising techniques of Eaton's, as they came to Toronto many years ago seeking advice on how to create a Christmas Parade. They learned fast, and the Macy's New York parade survives to this day.

"Miya Masaoka, musician, composer, performance artist, has created works for koto, laser interfaces, laptop and video and written scores for ensembles, chamber orchestras and mixed choirs. In her performance pieces she has investigated the sound and movement of insects, as well as the physiological responses of plants, the human brain, and her own body. Within these varied contexts of sound, music and nature, her performance work emphasizes the interactive, live nature of improvisation, and reflects an individual, contemporary expression of Japanese gagaku aural gesturalism.
Masaoka's work has been presented in Japan, Canada, Europe, Eastern Europe and she has toured to India six times. Venues include V2 in Rotterdam, Cybertheater in Brussels, Elektronisch Festival in Groningen, the Cleveland Performance Art Festival, The Electronik Body Festival in Bratislava, Slovakia, Radio Bremen, Germany, Festival of Lights, Hyberadad, India, and the London Musicians Collective.
Masaoka has been developing koto interfaces with midi controllers since the 1980's originally with Tom Zimmerman, co-inventor of the Body Glove. Since then, she has she has worked at STEIM, Amsterdam, CNMAT, and with Donald Swearingen to build interfaces with the computer and koto, at times using pedals, light sensors, motion sensors and ultrasound. With the koto connected directly to her laptop, she records her playing live, and processes the samples in real time. This new koto is able to respond dynamically and interactively in a variety of musical environments, and improvise with the processed sounds."

Fagner Conserva Lemos (São Paulo, 11 de junho de 1989), mais conhecido apenas como Fagner, é um futebolista brasileiro que atua como lateral-direito. Atualmente, joga pelo Corinthians.

Carreira

Corinthians
Natural de São Paulo e no Corinthians desde os 9 anos, Fagner fez sua estreia aos 17 anos e ajudou o clube a golear o Fortaleza por 4 a 0, na casa do adversário, no dia 1 de novembro de 2006, pela 32° rodada. O lateral ainda atuou em todas as seis partidas restantes do Campeonato Brasileiro.

PSV e Vitória
No dia 6 de fevereiro de 2007, após a disputa do Sul-Americano Sub-20 pela Seleção Brasileira, Fagner acertou a sua transferência para o PSV Eindhoven, mas antes disso, foi emprestado pelo clube holandês ao Vitória, por seis meses, até completar 18 anos.

Ao completar 18 anos, em 11 de junho de 2007 transferiu-se para o PSV, no qual ganhou o título da Eredivisie de 2007–08, porém, depois de um ano e seis meses, sem ter um rendimento esperado, rescindiu o seu contrato para assinar com o Vasco da Gama.

Vasco da Gama
Em 26 de dezembro de 2008, acertou com o Vasco da Gama para o ano de 2009. Ficou o ano todo como reserva de Paulo Sérgio, cogitando até sair do clube depois da Série B, mas permaneceu na equipe carioca e ao fim do ano, foi campeão da Série B.

Em 2010, conseguiu se firmar como titular da equipe depois da saída de Paulo Sérgio para a Portuguesa, tornando-se um dos destaques mesmo com o irregular Campeonato Brasileiro da equipe carioca.

No ano de 2011 teve o melhor momento da carreira formando uma dupla com Éder Luís pela direita que ajudou muito a equipe cruzmaltina. O Vasco foi campeão da Copa do Brasil e terminou o Campeonato Brasileiro na segunda colocação. Ao final do ano, conquistou o Prêmio Craque do Brasileirão como o melhor lateral-direito da competição.

Em 2012 a boa fase continuou e Fagner ajudou o Vasco a chegar em duas finais de turno do Campeonato Carioca, mas o clube perdeu as duas. Também foi fundamental na Copa Libertadores da América, onde o clube chegou as quartas-de-final, sendo eliminado pelo Corinthians por 1 a 0.

Wolfsburg
Em 24 de julho de 2012, Fagner foi vendido ao Wolfsburg, da Alemanha, assinando contrato até 2016. Estreou no dia 26 de julho de 2012, em um amistoso contra o Bayern de Munique, jogo no qual cometeu um pênalti e viu seu time perder por 2 a 1. Porém sua estreia não foi reflexo do seu início no clube. Aperfeiçoando-se ainda mais em desarmes, Fagner começou muito bem, porém, com a decaída de nível da equipe, que já não era das melhores, Fagner caiu de rendimento e chegou a ser reserva em diversos jogos. Sem espaço e com a intenção de brilhar novamente, o lateral resolveu deixar o clube alemão para retornar ao Brasil novamente.

Retorno ao Vasco da Gama
No dia 18 de julho de 2013, o Vasco da Gama anunciou Fagner por empréstimo até o fim da temporada, com opção de estender o vínculo ou comprá-lo, pegando todos de surpresa visto que a notícia só vazou na imprensa quando o acordo foi fechado. Com diversas propostas de outros times brasileiros, Fagner opta por atuar no clube pelo qual se consagrou e que prega enorme carinho e respeito. Tendo sido eleito o melhor lateral-direito do país pelo clube, sua estreia foi aguardada ansiosamente pelos torcedores. O jogador recebeu a camisa de número 23; camisa usada em toda sua primeira passagem pelo Vasco. Com as irregulares partidas de Nei, Fagner logo virou titular da equipe, mas, após queda de rendimento, o técnico Dorival Júnior o colocou no banco de reservas. Com a saída de Dorival, e a chegada de Adílson Batista, Fagner voltou a ter chances entre os titulares. Após amargar outro rebaixamento com o clube, não renovou seu contrato de empréstimo e assim, terminou sua segunda passagem pelo clube Cruzmaltino no fim de 2013, retornando então ao Wolfsburg.

Retorno ao Corinthians

2014
O Corinthians propôs um acordo de empréstimo, aceito pelo Wolfsburg, e assim o lateral retornou ao clube de origem. O empréstimo foi sem custos e por uma temporada, e se o jogador agradasse, poderia ser comprado ao final da mesma.

Depois de ter se destacado na reta final do Brasileirão 2006, o que o levaria, também, a ser convocado para o Sul-Americano Sub-20 de 2007, Fagner deixou o Corinthians e acertou sua ida, à época, para o PSV Eindhoven, da Holanda. O lateral demonstrou certo arrependimento por ter deixado o alvinegro e, portanto, se mostrou feliz pelo retorno. Segundo o próprio:Marcou seu primeiro gol com a camisa do Corinthians, no dia 11 de maio de 2014, em um empate por 1 a 1 contra o rival São Paulo, na Arena Barueri, pelo Campeonato Brasileiro, encerrando um jejum de dois anos sem marcar gols.

2015
No início de 2015, o Corinthians adquiriu 50% dos direitos econômicos do jogador e o contratou em definitivo até o final de 2019. No dia 16 de agosto, chegou a marca de 100 jogos com a camisa da equipe paulista. Mais tarde, naquele ano, fez parte do elenco campeão do Campeonato Brasileiro.

2016
No dia 31 de julho, chegou a marca de 150 jogos com a camisa do clube alvinegro.

2017
Em dia 18 de janeiro, em seu primeiro jogo no ano, levou o clube a final do torneio da Florida Cup, após a goleada de 4 a 1 sobre o Vasco da Gama na semifinal. No dia 21 de janeiro, jogou a final contra o rival São Paulo. O Corinthians perdeu por 4 a 3 nas penalidades máximas, após o empate de 0-0 no tempo real, perdendo o título do torneio e ficando em segundo lugar.

No dia 1 de fevereiro, o Corinthians realizou um amistoso preparatório contra a Ferroviária, para o Campeonato Paulista; Fagner jogou o primeiro tempo e foi substituído no segundo tempo pelo lateral Léo Príncipe, para realizações de testes do técnico Fábio Carille. O Corinthians venceu o jogo com gol de Marquinhos Gabriel, aos 49 minutos do segundo tempo. Em 7 de maio, sagrou-se campeão do Campeonato Paulista. Em 28 de junho, chegou a marca de 200 jogos com a camisa do Corinthians.

Em 22 de novembro, renovou seu contrato até o final de 2021. Em 16 de novembro, sagrou-se campeão do Campeonato Brasileiro.

2018
Nesse ano foi bicampeão paulista com a conquista do Campeonato Paulista. No dia 29 de abril, chegou a marca de 250 jogos com a camisa do Corinthians.

2019
Em 21 de janeiro, renovou seu contrato até o final de 2022. Em 21 de abril, foi tricampeão paulista com a conquista do Campeonato Paulista. No dia 15 de maio, chegou a marca de 300 jogos pelo Corinthians. Ainda naquele ano, no dia 19 de outubro, foi o responsável por marcar o gol de número 11 mil da história do clube paulista, durante uma derrota por 2 a 1 contra o Cruzeiro, na Neo Química Arena, pelo Campeonato Brasileiro.

2020

Em 22 de julho, alcançou a marca de 350 jogos pelo Corinthians, em uma vitória por 1 a 0, contra o arquirrival Palmeiras. Em 21 de dezembro, Fagner chegou a marca de 600 jogos na carreira, em uma vitória por 2 a 1 contra o Goiás, na Neo Química Arena, pelo Campeonato Brasileiro.

2021
No dia 11 de maio, durante uma vitória por 4 a 1 contra a Inter de Limeira, pelo Campeonato Paulista, Fagner alcançou a marca de 400 jogos com a camisa do Corinthians.

2022
Em 7 de janeiro de 2022, renovou seu contrato por mais 2 anos, até o final de 2024. Em 20 de abril de 2022, chegou a marca de 450 jogos com a camisa do Corinthians, durante o empate por 1-1 contra a Portuguesa-RJ, pela Copa do Brasil 2022. Em 26 de outubro, chegou a marca de 475 jogos, ultrapassando Rivellino (474) e entrando no top-10 de jogadores que mais atuaram pelo Corinthians.

2023
Em 20 de janeiro de 2023, passou a ocupar o oitavo lugar em assistências na história do Corinthians, após dar o passe para o gol de Yuri Alberto, na vitória por 3–0, sobre o Água Santa, pelo Campeonato Paulista.

Seleção Nacional

Em abril de 2016, Fagner foi pré-convocado, junto com outros 39 atletas, pelo técnico Dunga para a disputa da Copa América de 2016, nos Estados Unidos, onde acabou não sendo convocado. Sua primeira convocação aconteceu alguns meses depois, na 1° lista do técnico Tite, em 22 de agosto de 2016, para as partidas contra Equador e Colômbia pelas Eliminatórias da Copa do Mundo FIFA de 2018.

Fágner se manteve com Tite durante boa parte das Eliminatórias, e, após conquistar o Campeonato Brasileiro de 2017 pelo Corinthians, e atuando bem na lateral-direita, ganhou a confiança de Tite e foi convocado para a Copa do Mundo FIFA de 2018, no dia 14 de maio de 2018. Fagner foi titular em quatro das cinco partidas da Seleção Brasileira, onde acabara sendo o 2° que mais desarmou (14 desarmes) na Copa, atrás apenas do campeão N'Golo Kanté (16 desarmes), com média de 3,5 por partida – até maior do que a média de Kanté. O jogo que o lateral-direito mais fez desarmes foi contra o México – cinco, no total.

Em 17 de maio de 2019, foi convocado para a Copa América de 2019, onde, na reserva de Daniel Alves, sagrou-se campeão do torneio.

Controvérsias
Segundo pesquisas do portal UOL, feitas por meio de votação secreta com os atletas dos clubes da Série A do Campeonato Brasileiro de Futebol ao final da temporada, Fagner foi considerado um dos jogadores mais violentos do Brasil por quatro anos seguidos (2016-2019). Em três ocasiões ocupou o 2º lugar-atrás apenas de Felipe Melo.

Em 3 de julho de 2016, durante partida entre Flamengo e Corinthians válida pela 13ª rodada do Campeonato Brasileiro atingiu o meia Ederson com uma tesoura. O lance não foi avistado pelo árbitro da partida Héber Roberto Lopes e Fagner não foi advertido. Ederson, por sua vez, recebeu atendimento e continuou atuando na partida. Posteriormente Fagner foi suspenso por umas partida e o árbitro Lopes foi suspenso por vinte dias pelo Superior Tribunal de Justiça Desportiva. Apesar de ter pedido desculpas posteriormente à Ederson, Fagner-em entrevista ao apresentador Bolívia do canal Desimpedidos-negou a fama de jogador violento e considerou a tesoura um mero "lance de jogo". Após mais de três anos tentando se recuperar, Ederson anunciou a aposentadoria do futebol devido à lesão.

Unnao rapist had solemnized the marriage with the victim in 2018!
Submitted by editor on Mon, 12/09/2019 - 16:27
Unnao, Dec 9: It has now emerged that the rape victim, who was set ablaze in Unnao on Thursday had been promised marriage by the same man who raped her earlier this year.
The main accused, Shivam Trivedi, had signed a marriage agreement in January last year and then solemnized the marriage with the victim in December 2018.
"We declare that we have solemnized our marriage in a temple on January 15, 2018, according to Hindu traditions with our free will. We are living with each other as wife and husband. We are signing this agreement to avoid any legal hindrance," the agreement read.
Sources said that the family of the accused, however, had refused to accept the woman as she belonged to a lower caste.
This made the woman file a rape case against her 'husband'.
Lawyer S. N. Maurya, who represented the victim in the rape case, said that Shivam was threatening the woman to withdraw the case and was forcing for a compromise.
The woman was set on fire by four men, including the rape accused, when she was on her way to the court in Rae Bareli on Thursday morning.
She sustained more than 90 per cent injuries and was rushed to a government hospital and then shifted to the civil hospital in Lucknow. She was later airlifted to Delhi's Safdarjung hospital where she succumbed to injuries on Friday night.

A: Up to Delphi 2006, you can link the dbExpress driver DLLs into your application by including the appropriate unit.
Since Delphi 2007, this is no longer the case, and you have to ship the driver DLL.

A £400,000 flood protection scheme unveiled last week could end the misery of residents of Alconbury Weston and Alconbury living in fear of inundations.
Seventy-five homes in the two villages have been fitted with air brick covers, flood gates, flood boards, door guards and other measures as part of the scheme aimed at better protecting households against flooding.
Homes at both sites have been frequent victims of flooding from Alconbury Brook.
In March 2007, roads were closed and several cars were abandoned after the river burst its banks, but that same year Alconbury failed to make the cut for a national pot of money for flood defences.
However last year Huntingdonshire District Council was awarded £228,000 from Defra for flood protection. The rest of the money was provided by the Environment Agency.
Proposals for a community-wide scheme, which would see the brook waters bypassed out of the village, were shelved and instead contractors J Breheny worked on measures for individual homes.
Homeowners Vic Driver, 69 and wife June, say the measures which also include back flow vales to drains and waste pipes and waterproofing of brickwork, has brought them peace of mind.
Twice a year the couple receive flood alerts and have to move their possessions, including photos away from the front of the house.
Mrs Driver said: "The last big flood here was in 1998. Then the water was almost level with the windowsill, about a metre high. It must have been quite devastating.
"We have only lived here for six and a half years. We do get the road in front of the house flooded, where we cannot get the car out.
"It has been once quite high - inside the pillars of our drive. The water does come up very quickly and mostly it is early in the morning. It is quite scary. If anything happens it is a bit stressful.
Steve Wheatley, chairman of the Regional Flood and Coastal Committee, was on the panel who drew up the plans.
He said: "The committee was very keen to support this project to reduce the risk from flooding through the installation of flood resistance measures for individual houses.
"Having looked at the options for reducing flood risk, a community-wide flood defence scheme would not have been economically or practically viable, so this is an excellent alternative.
District councillor Jonathan Gray, executive councillor for environment, said: "These residents are in a high risk flood area and we hope that this work will help to provide protection and some peace of mind for those whose homes are most at risk.


With more than half a century of history, the Beijing Film Academy is the only professional film school in China and the most important in Asia. The school trained internationally recognized, award-winning directors such as Zhang Yimou, who directed "House of Flying Daggers" among others, Chen Kaige, winner of a Palme d'Or in Cannes for "Farewell my Concubine", and Jia Zhangke, who won a Golden Lion Award in Venice with "Still Life".
The school's prestigious department of cinematography is now taking part in the Armani "Film of City Life" project. In 2013, the campus launched its first international program in English, encouraging local and international students to work together and pool their talents.
The Beijing Film Academy has a holistic approach to filmmaking: the students are committed to familiarize with all subjects, from direction to screenwriting, editing and documentaries, including art and film history.
The faculty at the Beijing Film Academy includes some of the world's greatest filmmakers to provide students with a comprehensive education that brings together Eastern and Western cultures.
Luca Infante is a 20-year-old Italian-British director and a Jujitsu black belt. After graduating from the Beijing Film Academy, he wants to become a director of sci-fi and action movies.
Weizhe is a director of photography who graduated in cinematography from the Beijing Film Academy. Born in Jincheng, Shanxi Province, he is now finishing his MFA in filmmaking. He was awarded "Outstanding Graduate" and has been working on short films and commercials for a while now.
Yiwa Lau grew up in Los Angeles, the motion picture capital. She undertook her studies at the Beijing Film Academy to start her co-production career in Hollywood and China.
She's of Korean descent, but grew up in Chicago. Jamie began working in the field of cinema when she was studying Psychology. She wrote her first novel, which will be published soon. She directed "Dancing Sorrow" at the Beijing Academy in 2014; recently, she has been working on a documentary about plastic surgery.


A terribly sad day in Ottawa. Michael Ignatieff's Director of Communications died this morning in a motorcycle accident. Here are the statements from the party leaders. I met Lagu? once. There was a kindness and quiet about him. My thoughts are with his family.
"It is with great sadness that we learned this morning that our Director of Communications, Mario Lagu?, was tragically killed in a motorcycle accident in Ottawa.
"I was very saddened to learn of the sudden and tragic passing today of Mario Lagu?, Director of Communications for the Leader of the Opposition.
"Throughout a varied and distinguished career, Mr. Lagu? served his country with dedication both in Canada and abroad. His numerous roles included serving as Prime Minister Paul Martin's Director of Communications, as Quebec's Delegate in Venezuela and in Mexico, as Canada's Ambassador to Costa Rica, and as Assistant Secretary to Cabinet – Communications and Consultations in the Privy Council Office.
"Mr. Lagu? will be greatly missed by those who knew him personally and who worked with him throughout his career. His devotion and service to his country are his legacy.
I was deeply saddened this morning to learn of the sudden death of Mario Lagu?, Director of Communications to Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff. On behalf of all New Democrats, I wish to extend my heartfelt sympathies to Mr. Lagu?'s family, friends and colleagues.
Mr. Lagu? was a man of gentle strength who devoted decades to building a better country. We admire the consistent integrity he brought to his work, whether he was advising a Quebec premier or Canadian prime minister, or representing us all overseas as a Canadian ambassador.
Posted on August 12, 2010 August 19, 2010 Categories OtherTags jack layton, mario lague, michael ignatieff, stephen harper10 Comments on Mario Lagu?
The problem is, however, is that the electorate wouldn't be asked as they were by their friendly dinner-time-calling pollster friends. Michael Ignatieff has explicitly said (at least in his latest iteration) that he would not run as a coalition during the next election and that the numbers post-election would govern his choice.
When we ran against the coalition (extra-writ) in December 2008, what most Canadians found offensive about such a proposed coalition was that the separatist Bloc Quebecois would be given a veto on government of Canada decisions (as a partner to government). Furthermore, an election result returned just six weeks earlier would have been overturned. While constitutional, most Canadians felt that such a move lacked moral authority; Stephane Dion had dismissed any talk of coalition during the election campaign and then was ready to form one after the ballots were counted. A coalition was forced upon Canadians without consultation or consideration, but worse, it was done so after it was explicitly stated that it would not happen.
Fast forward to today. Michael Ignatieff's problem during any future election will be the big question mark placed upon him by voters (helped by the Conservative Party) that asks if he has different intentions in his mind than what he utters from the stump. He's been for the coalition, then against, then for one if necessary but not necessarily, then against, then for but only after Canadians decide against his party. Canadians rejected Stephane Dion because they were unsure of his uncertain carbon tax (and leadership) during tough economic times. Now, a question of political instability still looms and Michael Ignatieff is doing nothing to firm up confidence in his leadership.
Make no mistake, coalition talk (and merger talk) at this time serves no other purpose than to undermine the leadership of Michael Ignatieff. In fact, winners from such musings are Stephen Harper, Bob Rae and Jack Layton. Michael Ignatieff has had few perceived victories since taking the helm of the Liberal Party. His now famous "your time is up" bellicose utterance to Stephen Harper is now a cliche in Ottawa circles. The summer season can spell death for opposition leaders as they clamour for the media spotlight and Michael Ignatieff is about to embark on his summer tour with no gas in the tank. Consider that while Michael Ignatieff was trying to find his feat during prorogation, Stephen Harper hosted the world at the Olympics. While Michael Ignatieff uncomfortably flips burgers with all of the enthusiasm of a dyspeptic turtle this summer, Stephen Harper will be hosting world leaders at the G20/G8 summits and the Queen during Canada Day to boot. Michael Ignatieff will emerge this summer a faded version of his grey self or with Rae's daggers in his back.
And now there's talk of merger with mere weeks of Ottawa spotlight left for Michael Ignatieff? This is nothing more than to give the party something to chew over while they consider their leader's long-term viability. The Liberal Party will not merge with the NDP. The party's grassroots put up with enough as they told their Central-Nova activists to stand down against Elizabeth May during Dion's cooperation deal with the Greens. One cannot imagine 308 (times 2) riding associations trading horses for the right to run their chosen candidate — most have already been nominated. Consider too that the Liberal Party of Canada is the most successful political party of western democracies over the past 100 years. A mere four years out of power is no time to get desperate, lads.
Rae's real prize is convincing the left that he can lead them to power, but as leader of that historic Liberal Party. With Rae in the Liberal top-spot, Liberal-NDP switchers will go Liberal leaving the NDP a shadow of itself. Is merger on the table? No. But talk of a merger sends a signal to all that the Liberal Party is not content with itself and when you do the math it's a question of leadership, not its constitution.

Is the shine coming off Stephen Harper's summit spotlight?
As with the economy, a host of other issues appear to have conspired to take the shine off Harper's role at the upcoming summits in Huntsville and Toronto.
Back from 48h to London and Paris, Harper is so isolated on this crucial issue because the proposed tax on banks is supported by both the European Union, the United States and the International Monetary Fund. The project is also likely to take shape fairly quickly in Europe.
So about that failure of the PM to fend off a global bank tax?
, giving individual nations more freedom to decide how to make banks pay for any future bailouts.
The ministers ended a two-day meeting in Busan, South Korea, on Saturday that was held to review progress on a string of initiatives aimed at making the financial system safer in the wake of the last year's global collapse.
A bank tax, a measure pushed for by the United States, Britain and France, would have imposed a levy on all global financial institutions. All three countries spent billions of taxpayer dollars to rescue their largest financial institutions after the fiscal crisis of late 2008.
??A few short moments ago, Prime Minister Harper spoke with the new British Prime Minister, David Cameron.
The Star kicked it off and the Wicary at the Globe is trending the topic, so I might as well add my own two cents to the story.
I usually don't report on the daily non-political lives of people in Ottawa because, well, there's a certain line to be respected and sometime you just let people be. However, I made a particular observation about a month ago that I only then shared with friends in casual discussion, yet it now seems to inform a broader political context so I'll share it here. I spotted the Governor General and her husband furniture shopping. Yes, Rideau Hall comes fully stocked but yet not stocked with the sort of timber that this middle-of-the-road sort of store had to offer.
So, why were the Viceregal and the Viceregal Consort shopping for furniture? With the revelation that the PM is actively seeking Michaelle Jean's replacement, perhaps we now know the answer.
Now, the speculation begins for Jean's replacement.
My guess as to who the PM will pick is Wayne Gretzky. The PM has made a special effort to normalize the idea of a good working relationship between himself and the Great One. Earlier this year, the PM hosted a reception with Gretzky for the Kinsmen club and hung out with Gretzky at some key Olympic events. The PM's favourite photo ops are also said to be with athletes.
Some would point out that Gretzky's french isn't fantastic. He wouldn't be the first Governor General to struggle with the language as Ray Hnatyshyn's french abilities were also criticized.
The PM's choice of Gretzky would be politically sound as no opposition MP or oped editorialist would find much currency in criticizing the choice.

I just found out from my friends in the Prime Minister's office (and at Google) that the Prime Minister will be using YouTube to livestream his reaction to the Speech from the Throne and will use Google Moderator to take questions from Canadians regarding the Throne Speech and Budget.
Social media has been creeping into many different fields from its rapid uptake in entertainment to cautious integration in politics. Barack Obama used social media extensively during his campaign and has used it during his presidency. Some will remember that President Obama used Google Moderator to hold a first-of-its-kind townhall answering questions submitted via the service.
Canadians can watch the Throne Speech reaction live at Tuesday March 11, 2010 at 11 a.m. ET at http://www.youtube.com/TalkCanada and submit questions via the same address and see the townhall on the 16th at 7pm ET.
Canadians, especially younger Canadians, are no longer getting their news from just television, radio and print media. They are turning to new media in increasing numbers. This marks the first time that a Prime Minister's speech will be livestreamed on YouTube.
Social media is changing the way Canadians interact with politicians. It allows Canadians to have unfiltered and immediate access to information. And it facilitates conversation between citizens and their elected representatives. Livestreaming complements our Government's current use of social media, which includes Twitter, Facebook and pre-taped YouTube videos. In fact, Prime Minister Harper has an active following – 47,383 followers – on Twitter.

Home Hepatology Interview: Prof Markus Peck-Radosavljevic
Interview: Prof Markus Peck-Radosavljevic
Prof Markus Peck-Radosavljevic | Professor of Medicine and Chairman at the Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Endocrinology, and Nephrology, Klinikum Klagenfurt, Klagenfurt, Austria
Following your medical training in Austria, Canada, and the USA, what have you learnt about adapting to novel working and training environments?
Each of these working environments have their strengths and weaknesses and each of them seem to make sense in the context of the respective medical system they are placed in. Legal and administrative principles differ between countries and organisational aspects, even between institutions, but the patients and their diseases remain very much the same. In my experience, the working environment is usually very helpful when you start a new appointment, which helps a lot in adapting to the different working environments. As long as you are willing to adapt to new circumstances, transitioning is usually rather smooth.
What motivated you to largely centre your research on liver disease and portal hypertension?
Within the gastrointestinal department in Vienna, Austria, I was looking for areas with an unmet clinical need as well as areas that were not already occupied by other researchers in my department. In liver disease in the early 1990s, there was a large unmet clinical need, and portal hypertension stood out as such an area with both a clinical need and good opportunities for research projects.
Can you provide a brief summary of the findings highlighted in your most recent paper: 'Impact of HSD17B13 rs72613567 genotype on hepatic decompensation and mortality in patients with portal hypertension?'
We investigated the cohort of patients with portal hypertension from the Vienna Portal Hypertension Study group with regard to the recently published HSD17B13 gene variant that had been shown to be protective for fibrosis progression in patients with alcoholic liver disease/nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. Despite the fact that we could find some circumstantial evidence for a potentially protective role in alcoholic liver disease/nonalcoholic steatohepatitis patients, for example, patients with at least one protective allele had a lower model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score, trend towards less portal pressure gradient, and were older at presentation, we could not find a protective role for the gene variant in the overall cohort. This could have been because of a less favourable effect of the polymorphism on decompensation and mortality in the subgroup with hepatitis C virus (HCV)-associated advanced chronic liver disease.
Could you tell us about the current status of clinical trials in HCV infection in patients undergoing haemodialysis and with HIV–HCV coinfection?
The question about how to treat HCV is mostly solved with regard to the highly effective drugs we have today. This is also true for indications like patients on haemodialysis and with HIV–HCV coinfection. Since coinfection is at least partly linked to intravenous drug use, most research in this area is dedicated to getting treatment to all individuals in need and optimising care delivery in order to eradicate HCV infection.
Will your ongoing work trialling antivirals in HCV infection be put on pause as clinicians are dedicating their time to the COVID-19 pandemic?
I think this is highly dependent on the individual clinical setting and how the area is affected by COVID-19 cases. Here in Austria, because of the early lockdown and the measures taken, we are not overwhelmed with treating COVID-19 patients and can manage our HCV and liver disease patients as they need it.
It has been proposed that COVID-19 causes direct liver injury via viral hepatitis, what are your thoughts on this hypothesis?
Many viral infections can cause a hepatitis-like picture and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) seems to be able to do that as well. But we have not seen any serious liver damage caused by SARS-CoV-2 ourselves nor in the literature and I think the liver is not the reason why the world is in lockdown right now. COVID-19 could well be a threat to patients with advanced-stage liver disease, in particular decompensated patients, for whom any acute infection can be life-threatening.
The literature also suggests that patients with long-term liver transplant and metabolic comorbidities may be more at risk of hospitalisation with COVID-19. How can these patients be protected effectively?
These patients can be protected the same way as everybody else is protected: through focussing on measures of hygiene and social distancing. Since these patients might have more hospital visits, one way of protecting them is switching to remote online consultations and reducing the number of in-person visits to the absolute minimum.

Esophageal ulcers are often a result of Acid Reflux. Complications are severe, but can be avoided if you discover how to get rid of the root cause. We will show you.
Young infants and approximately 30% of the elderly have low secretion of hydrochloric acid by gastric parietal cells. It has been established that low hydrochloric acid secretion can lead to decreased absorption of ferric iron. Conflicting results have been obtained in clinical studies of the effects of intraluminal gastric pH.
From this perspective the use of agents to reduce hydrochloric acid (HCl) secretion makes perfect sense. However there is another model that suggests that over 90% of GERD related symptoms are related to too little HCl. Therefore the use of agents to further reduce your stomach acid makes absolutely no sense AND may.
Testing your HCl levels is easy. The following is an excerpt from Dr. Joseph Debe and I couldn't say it better. "For this test you will need some baking soda.

Breaking Your Prose in the Right Places
Where we break our prose at any level affects how it feels.
Posted on November 6, 2020 June 16, 2021
Writing, Wordcraft
We don't write endless text without pause. At every level, from an entire book to each individual sentence, we break our prose into chunks. Some places in a story require a break, and in other places, breaking is optional. By placing these subjective breaks, we can shape how our prose feels. Let's go over the principles behind breaks at any level, with an emphasis on paragraph breaks.
Why We Use Paragraphs & Other Chunks
When a page filled with text has no paragraph breaks, the only way to preview its content is to scan every sentence. After all, a single sentence picked from the bunch may not represent the page well. But going through the entire text is useless in telling us whether it's worth our energy to read the page in full – we already put in the work. That's one reason why walls of text make us feel like they are demanding a large time commitment. Unless we're ready to hunker down and read without interruption for a while, it's off-putting.
Breaking the same page into paragraphs gives us a visual representation of the page's content that we can view without much effort. The topic sentences at the beginning of each paragraph also allow us to dive in a little further without a full read. Basically, they provide a table of contents for the page.
With paragraphs, we can also more easily mark the place we stopped reading, so we don't feel like we have to read the page in one go. Reading a moderately sized paragraph requires a much shorter time commitment, and finishing a paragraph gives us a feeling of progress.
This means the shorter your chapters, scenes, paragraphs, or sentences are, the more inviting they are to readers with low commitment or short attention spans. They demand less concentration and give the feeling of a breezy read. The web in particular trends toward short paragraphs because web visitors are not expected to be very committed.* For this reason and others, paragraph size has been trending downward.
However, it's also possible for chunks that are short enough to lower the reading efficiency of dedicated audiences. Lots of paragraph breaks means more page turning for the same content. Lots of short sentences can slow down speed readers. Someone who has carved out the time and concentration required to read at length might not appreciate being told to stop constantly.
Plus, if you make your paragraphs so short that they only contain about a sentence each, you'll notice that the page starts to look like a uniform wall again. There may be much less text, but getting a preview of the content still requires scanning through the whole thing. It's even harder to tell where you left off. Breaks in prose are as much about grouping similar content together as they are about creating stopping points.
So how can we tell when content belongs together? Let's look at some guidelines and examples from the beginning of Maximum Ride. This book has so many paragraph breaks it's almost one sentence per paragraph.
Grouping Content by Topic
First, what most of us learned in grade school about starting paragraphs with topic sentences still applies to fiction. If you find yourself elaborating on, explaining, or describing the content of a previous sentence, that previous sentence is probably your topic sentence. This principle can also apply at the sentence level. I often use a semicolon to join two short sentences when the second sentence is needed to explain the first.
While most of us are familiar with creating paragraphs this way, it can still get thorny at times. Let's look at our first excerpt from Maximum Ride. In it, the narrating character just saw a gap in the trees ahead, and she ran for it hoping that it was a clearing.
It wasn't a clearing. In front of me was a cliff, a sheer face of rock that dropped to an unseeable floor hundreds of feet below.
In back of me were woods filled with drooling bloodhounds and psycho Erasers with guns.
This excerpt has parallel phrasing for the sentences starting with "in front of me" and "in back of me." This makes them feel like they should be siblings – two sentences in the same paragraph or two whole paragraphs on the same page. But "in front of me" is elaborating on "it wasn't a clearing," making the latter its topic sentence. That topic sentence doesn't have much to do with "in back of me," so they can't all go in a paragraph together. The result is something that sounds wrong regardless of how you organize it.
To fix this, the topic sentence could be edited to say the narrator is looking around instead of just ahead. That would fit both the following sentences. But considering the context in the story, it would be easier to put a transition on the later sentence to indicate the narrator is changing focus. A simple change like "I looked back. The woods were filled…" would work.
Maximum Ride has another instance where a misplaced paragraph break causes confusion.
Then, taking a deep breath, I unfurled my wings as hard and fast as I could.
Thirteen feet across, pale tan with white streaks and some freckly looking brown spots, they caught the air, and I was suddenly yanked upward, hard, as if a parachute had just opened. Yow!
Because these two paragraphs are isolated together in this example, it may be easy to see that "Thirteen feet across, pale tan with white streaks …" refers to the wings in the previous paragraph. But on a page full of these paragraphs, they feel less related, and the second paragraph is confusing. It's elaborating on the previous sentence, so it shouldn't be in a new paragraph.
Identifying Transitions to Break On
Just as similar content should be placed together, any noticeable change in the prose is a likely place for a break.
Changes in time or place
A common transition in fiction is moving the place or time. If you just want to fast-forward a few minutes until your protagonist is finished chopping lettuce, that's likely a paragraph break. If you fast-forward to the next day, that calls for a scene break. Leaping across the continent to narrate about different people might call for a chapter break.
Changes in style or tone
A change in style or tone can also call for a break. Let's look at an example.
The funny thing about facing imminent death is that it really snaps everything else into perspective. Take right now, for instance.
Run! Come on, run! You know you can do it.
I gulped deep lungfuls of air. My brain was on hyper-drive; I was racing for my life. My one goal was to escape. Nothing else mattered.
This is the opening of chapter 1 of Maximum Ride. It starts with what sounds like present tense, then goes into a character's thought, then switches to first-person past tense. Even with the paragraph breaks it's incredibly jarring, but it would be much worse if the breaks weren't there. In fact, part of the issue is that a paragraph break isn't big enough for what appears to be a change from present to past tense. Usually those things aren't found in the same book. The other issue with it is that without proper context, thoughts like that need to be labeled as thoughts.
Let's look at a subtler tone switch.
Yeah, Erasers. Mutants: half-men, half-wolves, usually armed, always bloodthirsty. Right now they were after me.
See? That snaps everything into perspective.
The "Yeah, Erasers" is the topic sentence for this first paragraph. The narrator then elaborates on what Erasers are. The "See?" actually fits into this same paragraph okay, but it has a different tone, so it feels quite natural in a new one.
Changing between characters during dialogue
Besides transitions in time, place, and style, where you place paragraph breaks during dialogue is critical for clarity. I've described my recommendations for breaking during dialogue elsewhere, but in short, you want to group content by the person speaking or taking actions. If one person speaks and then a different person nods, break between those sentences. Here's an example from the book Crescent City that creates confusion because it doesn't do that.
"It's not that, dumbass, though again: fuck you. That was my lunch for today." Danika chuckled. "This tattoo hurts like Hel," Bryce complained. "I can't even lean against my chair."
That's all Bryce speaking, not Danika.
Breaking for story rhythm
Last, story structure is also a good guide for how to group narration. This is particularly relevant for larger chunks like chapters, but paragraphs often also have miniature hooks and resolutions in them. For optimal tension, a paragraph states a problem or raises a question, provides a potential answer, and then briefly mentions the next issue. That issue is then explained in the following paragraph.
For this next example, I've grouped some lines from Maximum Ride together to better show this off.
I was racing for my life. My one goal was to escape. Nothing else mattered. My arms being scratched to ribbons by a briar I'd run through? No biggie. My bare feet hitting every sharp rock, rough root, pointed stick? Not a problem. My lungs aching for air? I could deal. As long as I could put as much distance as possible between me and the Erasers.
The first paragraph above brings up the question of why the narrator is running for their life. It ends by bringing up the Erasers, but that raises the questions of what Erasers are – creating a hook. The hook is addressed by the next paragraph, which ends by emphasizing the problem that the Erasers are chasing the narrator.
If you're not sure where to break your paragraph, look for a place that will end on a tense note or bring up an interesting question.
Using Breaks for Emphasis & Pacing
The placement of breaks alters the pace of the narration and draws the eye to specific passages. Longer chunks of content slow the pace down. They are ideal for reaction scenes or places with lots of detail and description. Of course, lots of detail and description is also a common reason that sentences and paragraphs are longer.
This means that larger paragraphs make content feel less essential. A passage is more likely to be ignored if it's buried in a long paragraph. For descriptive detail, that's often fine. Bigger chunks encourage readers to relax and enjoy the lyrical flow without worrying about the destination.
Conversely, shorter chunks are better for increasing the pace during tense scenes. The story will feel like it's moving faster. Because keeping chunks short often means trimming excess words, sentences, and paragraphs, it usually is moving faster.
Smaller chunks also place more emphasis on content. You can make a sentence stand out by putting it in its own paragraph. This is a good choice for particularly tense and impactful lines. As an example, I've edited a previous excerpt from Maximum Ride to group sentences together, but left the next sentence of the book on its own.
I looked frantically for a means of escape. In front of me was a cliff, a sheer face of rock that dropped to an unseeable floor hundreds of feet below. In back of me were woods filled with drooling bloodhounds and psycho Erasers with guns.
Both options stank.
The last line above could also go in the previous paragraph. Leaving it on its own emphasizes both the tension and the humor of the line.
However, people are often tempted into emphasizing every piece of content this way, and that's not how that works. Variability is required for this technique to have impact. That's because things stand out when they are emphasized in comparison to your other content. The more one-sentence paragraphs you have, the less it means.
When a bunch of one-sentence paragraphs do all succeed in emphasizing content, it starts to look melodramatic. And when the writer goes overboard in emphasizing a passage that doesn't seem to justify it, it can come off as pretentious.
Let's take a couple examples from I Am Number Four, starting with a tiny chunk that has been emphasized to the point of absurdity.
In the beginning there were nine of us. We left when we were young, almost too young to remember.
A single-word sentence will always make an impression because it's only one word long. Putting it on its own paragraph and italicizing it is practically screaming. This word isn't important enough for that. For one thing, it's merely repeating something the reader has already heard. For another, the revelation that the protagonist still remembers their homeland is not particularly earth-shattering.
This next example from the same book has a melodramatic air.
In the beginning we were a group of nine.
Three are gone, dead.
There are six of us left.
They are hunting us, and they won't stop until they've killed us all.
I am Number Four.
I know that I am next.
The above may look fitting for the back of the book, but it's actually the ending lines of the first chapter. While most of these sentences are impactful enough to justify being in their own paragraph in isolation, together the drama feels forced. Let's look at it again, edited to add variability.
In the beginning we were a group of nine. There are six of us left.
They are hunting us, and they won't stop until they've killed us all. Three are gone, dead. I am Number Four.
The last line stands out more than it did in the version where every sentence was on its own line, and the drama doesn't feel so forced.
Variability in chunk size is less essential as the chunks get larger. Sentences with no variability will create either clunky or tedious prose that is unpleasant for readers. At the chapter level, however, I think dramatic variations are less called for.
Readers often use chapters to judge how much to read in one session, so having some consistency in chapter size sets expectations for time investment. This is particularly true since, in a typical book, readers can only tell how long chapters are by looking at the page numbers on the table of contents and doing math. A chapter that is dramatically shorter or longer than others will take many readers by surprise when it ends early or just keeps going. That said, a little variation in chapter length is generally okay, and shortening a tense chapter can still be helpful.
Experimenting can help you get a feel for how breaks affect the narration. Take the text from a page of your favorite book, remove all the paragraph breaks, and then judge for yourself where you would put them. Then compare your choices to the author's. Review your own work, and ask yourself if you could have put your breaks in other places instead. The results may surprise you.
Mythcreants has longer articles and bigger paragraphs than many websites because we serve a niche audience that wants to understand topics in depth.

Comments on Breaking Your Prose in the Right Places

Wow! This post is very helpful. Thank you Chris!
Dave L
Lawrence Block's Chip Harrison novels each have a single chapter that is one normal sentence long, whereas the other chapters are all of a normal length
It actually works. Each of those one-sentence chapters is a quick dramatic punch
SunlessNick
If one person speaks and then a different person nods, break between those sentences.
… or die.
In reply to SunlessNick
Admittedly, that's exactly how I feel about it.
A fair reaction.
It IS annoying as Hel!

I can confidently say I love this meme.
Thank you Chris, this answers my questions very thoroughly. The examples are well chosen, and I was surprised to see how much changing the place of the paragraph breaks changed the tone and impact of the text. It's always awe-inspiring to think how good writing can feel organic and effortless, but actually hinges on a lot of invisible, technical parameters like sentence structure, paragraph length… Makes me wonder, for the famous writers, how much of it is instinct and how much is deliberate choice.
In reply to Camille
For me (self-published), quite a bit of it is instinct – like the whole 'start a new paragraph when someone else is talking or acting in a dialogue' thing. I hate it when people don't do that, so I make sure to do it. The rest is looking at the text I've written and asking myself where there should be more paragraphs or whether those two paragraphs should go together into one.
