Liberalism and the Use of Force: Core Themes and Conceptual Tensions
By Greener, B. K.
Since the mid-1980s, a number of authors have asserted that there is a special kind of relationship between democratic states; or that liberalism promotes peaceful relations between liberal states; or that there exists a hierarchy of states in international society with liberal states at the apex of that hierarchy. Many of these theories touch on issues of liberalism, liberal states, and the use of military force. Yet they still do not directly address the key question of: when, and for what ends, liberals believe that military force may be used. An implicit intimation is often made that there is a monolithic liberal approach to the use of force. In contrast, this article identifies a variety of contemporary liberal views on this topic and argues that these depend upon the priority given to values such as those of tolerance and consent versus progress and civility, or those of cosmopolitanism versus communitarianism. On this basis, the article examines the liberal options for the use of force that can be justified in different ways by these different values, from self-defense to the creation of liberal entities, depending upon which liberal values predominate.
KEYWORDS: liberalism, force
Liberals have declared themselves averse to war and yet have waged it with "uncommon zeal." (1) Though mistrustful of "the man on horseback," liberals also admit that military forces might be necessary to protect liberal states and societies, and some suggest that such forces may even be used to advance liberal aims. This article explores these paradoxes by asking for what ends liberals support the use of military force. The first section demonstrates how liberal theorists place particular emphasis on the importance of individualism, rights, democratic government, the rule of law, tolerance, and consent. It also highlights the belief of many liberal thinkers in the universal applicability of liberal values and institutions. This idea of the universality of liberalism, based on notions of progress and a teleological view of development and civility, provides a major site of contention in theorizing about the use of force when juxtaposed against ideals of tolerance and consent. The second part of the article explores this key site of debate and explores the tension between cosmopolitan and communitarian views identifying in what instances the deployment of militaries can be justified by which of those liberal terms. (2) The article then concludes with some reflections about the urgent need for those of us in the international relations field to be able to articulate just what kinds of liberal values are being pursued in the global arena so that we may better assess future actions undertaken in the name of "liberal values."
Political theorists have suggested that liberalism is essentially contested. (3) Liberals thus constitute a rather diverse group yet are held together by certain foci including the dominant defining feature of liberalism--the focus on individual liberty. (4) This emphasis on individualism has in turn encouraged the dominance of a discourse of individual rights. In liberal political theory this language of rights finds expression in the promotion of both negative and, at times a little less vigorously, positive rights. Liberals such as Gerald Dworkin, Joseph Raz, and Isaiah Berlin in particular advocate a negative conception of liberty. Isaiah Berlin, for example, argues that political freedom is most important as defined in such a way so that he suggests "you lack political freedom only if you are prevented from attaining a goal by other human beings." (5) Critics have therefore suggested, in the vein of Judith Shklar, that "liberalism does not have any particular positive doctrines about how people should live their lives." (6) Yet liberalism may also promote more positive avenues for the attainment of individual liberal goals and rights.
Democratic practices of government have increasingly been advocated as one such avenue for the realization of liberal objectives. …

That's "Thank you very very much" in Tetum, the lingua franca in Timor Leste. We have a lot to be thankful for. Chatswood Rotary have been working tirelessly to ensure that this Wednesday's big function is a success; we have gained a new Timorese dental nurse to work with in the mountain town of Maubisse; and while our third team has been in Timor Leste this last fortnight, we have had more donations from our generous supporters (head to the 'Donate NOW' page to see who these lovely people are)!
As mentioned before (See post "Program Budget Update"), the Timor Leste Dental Program costs $15000 every year to run and this year the budget has blown out to $43800. So we really appreciate all the support!
Obrigada barak ba Ita-nia ajuda! Thank you for your help!


*Star Spangled Banner*Snibor (AKA The New Look)*Blue Serge*Midriff*Triple Play*He Makes Me Believe He's Mine*Harlem Air Shaft* Mella Brava and* Kickapoo Joy Juice.
This concert was very poorly attended, due to the fact that New York City was paralyzed by one of the worst blizzards it had ever experienced. This had the effect that the musicians had difficulties in travelling to the concert site and that all their equipment did not arrive in time for the concert. They managed to bring their instruments, but in the recording we can hear Duke apologizing for their casual dress, where they normally would wear band uniforms. There were also problems with the sonic balance for the recording equipment.
As was customary at the Carnegie Hall concerts, the event starts with the National Anthem. Ellington, next, introduces the Billy Strayhorn composition The New Look, which later on became known as Snibor. The latter name is a word-play referring to Duke's publisher Robbins Music. Blue Serge, which is a Mercer Ellington tune, comes next. If you listen carefully, you will maybe get the impression that Duke also attributes this number to Strayhorn, which wouldn't really seem incredible. Anyhow, the next number is Midriff, one of his best compositions. Triple Play is an interesting new number, also by Strayhorn, which mainly features Johnny Hodges and which is not common in the Ellington repertoire. Next, Dolores Parker sings He Makes Me Believe He Is Mine, by Ellington/Latouche. She is omitted from the Prestige issue from the next evening, which is a pity, because she was a good singer who passed away just a few months ago. Harlem Air Shaft is played next, needs no introduction, before our part ends with Mella Brava, another seldom played Ellington composition and Kickapoy Joy Juice, the former a solo piece for Harry Carney and the latter featuring Jimmy Hamilton.

Government approves over Rs 5000 crore fund for North East natural gas grid project
(1)The Natural Gas Pipeline Grid will connect Guwahati ,Agartala, Aizawl, Kohima, Imphal, Dimapur and Itanagar.
(2)The Government has approved 'Viability Gap Funding' worth Rs 5559 crores to set up a natural gas pipeline grid in the North East.
The Government has approved 'Viability Gap Funding' worth Rs 5559 crores to set up a natural gas pipeline grid in the North East.
The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs gave its approval to the project on January 8, 2020.
This is the second such funding approved by the Union Government for a gas pipeline project.
Under the project, a capital grant worth Rs 5559 crores will be provided to Indradhanush Gas Grid Limited to build a natural gas pipeline grid covering eight north eastern states.
The Indradhanush Gas Grid Limited (IGGL) has been set up as a joint venture company of five CPSEs – ONGC, IOCL, OIL, GAIL and NRL to develop and operate natural gas pipeline grid in the north east. It was set up in 2018.
Viability Gap Funding:
The sanctioned funding will cover 60 percent of the total cost of the natural gas pipeline project.
The total expenditure of the grid project is expected to be around Rs 9256 crores.
The funding will help natural gas supplies reach different kinds of consumers such as Industrial, CNG (Transport) and PNG (Domestic) and substitute the liquid fuels.
The Union Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas will identify major milestones for the project and link the same for the release of capital grant.
North East Natural Gas Pipeline Grid:
The Natural Gas Pipeline Grid will be developed in the eight states of the north east including Sikkim and the seven sisters- Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland and Tripura.
The total length of the pipeline will be 1656 km.It will connect Guwahati in Assam to other major cities in the region such as Agartala, Aizawl, Kohima, Imphal, Dimapur and Itanagar.
The availability of natural gas across the north east will help boost industrial growth in the region.
It will also be environment-friendly and would offer a better quality of life to people due to the use of cleaner and green fuel and reduction in the usage of wood and kerosene.
It will also boost production and exploration activities in the region and help connect regional gas sources with pipeline network for early monetisation of natural resources in the region.
It will also open the possibility of installing bottling plants for LPG in the region to reduce transportation costs. The uninterrupted supply of LPG will bring energy security to the people living in the region.
The Natural Gas Pipeline Grid project is a significant step towards achieving the central government's Hydrocarbon Vision 2030 for the North-East.
The Government aims to bring in a gas-based economy and increase the share of natural gas in the country's energy mix.

Die lampe trug sie zu den Wasserlilien.
dieweil nach Wasser und nach Lilien ich lechze.
wo kein Verlangen eins vom andern trennt.
Die Wand wird Spiegel uns des Sternenheers.
klirren die Salzkristalle alten Leids.
indessen ruhelos das Spukschiff segelt ?
- Doch wenn Maria seufzt, fass stumm ich ihre Hand.
in ihrem Wein der Blutgeschmack des Lammes.
verdirbt der Wahn zu Schimmel an den Wänden.
des Vogels, den wir traurig flattern lassen.
sind wie nach einer Schlacht wir aufgebahrt.
Marias Hand auf meinem grauen Haar.
Aus: Maurice Gilliams: Gedichte, Antwerpen, Librairie des Arts,1965.
She carried the lamp behind the water flags.
as I long for water and for flags.
where no desire tears one and the other asunder.
The wall becomes mirror of the army of stars.
grate the saline crystals of old sores.
while the phantom ship incessantly sails on?
- But when Maria sighs, I take her hand.
their wine tastes of the lamb's blood.
the illusion wastes into mildewy walls.
of birds that one sadly must set free.
as after a battle we lie on the bier.
Maria's hand rests on my graying hair.
nel loro vino c'è il sangue dell'agnello.
l'illusione si guasta come una muffa sui muri.
degli uccelletti che a malincuore liberiamo.
siamo due morti dopo la battaglia.
La mano di Maria sui miei capelli grigi.
Elegie Fiamminghe Faenza: Mobydick, 1994.
v vinu je okus po krvi jagnjeta.
zabloda zgnije in splesní na stenah.
ptic, ki jih z žalostjo spustimo na plan.
kakor po bitki, na mrtvaškem odru.
Na mojih sivečih laseh Marijina dlan.
When Maurice Gilliams (1900-1982) won the Grand Prize for Literature in 1980, many a newspaper journalist was at a loss: as far as the press was concerned Gilliams had always been 'the Great Unknown' of Dutch-language literature. But in the literary world itself Gilliams's work was considered not only an inside tip but also a milestone in the development of the novelist's art.
In 1936 Gilliams's Elias of het gevecht met de nachtegalen (Elias or the Struggle with the Nightingales) had ushered in a new, strongly suggestive way of writing and a novelistic structure based on the sonata. The critics called the book a 'melting pot of genres': Gilliams's prose is close to poetry and driven by what he himself called 'an essayistic motivation'.
Gilliams has been a major influence for a number of Dutch and Flemish authors - amongst them Charlotte Mutsaers, Stefan Hertmans and Erwin Mortier, but his work remains unique in Dutch literature. His diaries, which were published in his lifetime, also reveal that Gilliams was one of the first writers in Flanders or the Netherlands to obsessively address the question 'what is writing?'.
Poetry International Web presents poems of Maurice Gilliams in original and english translations and further information about the poet.

Q: SImple image replace using Javascript/html Couldn't find a punctual answer for this simple task and your help is highly appreciated
We have an image we want to switch based on user's color selection.
Tried several methods, none worked.
This is the idea:

A: $('#YourButton').click(function() {
    var oldSrc = 'images/Image1.png';
    var newSrc = 'images/Image2.png';
    $('img[src="' + oldSrc + '"]').attr('src', newSrc);

});

Just change the image source with javascript by clicking your button with another color
Note: it´s jquery so you have to include the js file..

A: Just bind a click listener to your button and change the src attribute of your image.
$('#colorButton').click( function() { //choose a new color
    $('#imageIcon').attr('src', 'path/to/new/image.png'); //change the img's source
});

EDIT (response to questions):
If you want this code to apply to all of your buttons, give each of your buttons a similar class instead of an ID:

Then you can use the following selector to apply the above click listener to all of these divs:
$('.colorButton')

Naturally, you want to change your image as simply as possible. You could map all of your colors to their corresponding image file, but as far as design goes this might get messy and unwieldy. I would create a directory that stores all of your image files (for example, /your/color/swatches) and give each of them a name consistent with their color, like 'ff0000.png' for red, '0000ff.png' for blue, etc.
Why would we do this? So that we can switch your image based on the background-color attribute of your buttons. Let's say that you have the following buttons:

You can use the same click listener, but it will have to be modified a bit since we are mapping the background color to an image:
$('.colorButton').click( function() {
    var color = $(this).css('backgroundColor');
    //(You'll need to modify your color string here)
    $('#imageIcon').attr('src', 'your/color/swatches/' + color + '.png');
});

BUT this won't work yet. Since most browsers return "rgb(xx, yy, zz)" from .css('backgroundColor'), you need to convert that string into hex. This post on SO gives a more or less effective way to do so, but you'll need to modify it to fit your model where I have indicated.

Q: Finding least upper bound and greatest lower bound of the set I am given the following set:
$A = \left\{ \frac{1}{n} + (-1)^{n}: n \in \mathbb{N} \right\}$
I am asked to find the greatest lower bound and least upper bound, but am having difficulty. I tried to split the set up into when $n$ is even and when $n$ is odd. So, when $n$ is even, $A = {(1/n) + 1}$ and when $n$ is odd, $A = (1/n) - 1$.
Where does one go from here?

A: Each element of $A$ is smaller than or equal to $\frac32\left(=\frac12+(-1)^2\right)$, which is an element of $A$. So, $\sup A=\frac32$. On the other hand, each element of $A$ is greater than $-1$. But, if $-1<a<0$, there is some odd number $n$ such that $\frac1n<a+1$, and then $(-1)^n+\frac1n<a$. Therefore, $a$ is not a lower bound of $A$ and so $-1$ is the greatest lower bound. So, $\inf A=-1$.

A: Hint: It seems clear: if you denote $a_n=\frac1n+(-1)^n$, all terms with even index are positive, $>1$ and make up a decreasing sequence, whereas all terms with odd index are  nonpositive and $>-1$ and also make up a decreasing sequence. Can you conclude from these observations?

De Ethiopische kuiftrap (Lophotis gindiana synoniem:Eupodotis gindiana) is een vogel uit de familie van de trappen (Otididae). De vogel komt voor binnen een beperkt gebied in Oost-Afrika.

Kenmerken
De vogel is gemiddeld 50 cm lang en weegt 675 tot 900 g. De vogel lijkt sterk op de andere twee soorten kuiftrappen. Opvallend bij deze soort is de zwarte keelstreep die doorloopt tot op de buik; verder heeft de vogel meer wit op de flanken en is hij van boven donkerder. Het vrouwtje is niet zo blauwgrijs op de nek en de kop, maar bruin.

Verspreiding en leefgebied
Deze soort komt voor van Ethiopië en Somalië tot noordelijk Tanzania. Het leefgebied bestaat uit terreinen met struikgewas en de vogel komt ook voor op hoogvlakten tot 1800 m boven de zeespiegel.

Status
De grootte van de wereldpopulatie is niet gekwantificeerd. Men veronderstelt dat de soort algemeen voorkomt, behalve in Soedan, daar is de vogel schaars. De aantallen zijn stabiel. Om deze redenen staat de Ethiopische kuiftrap als niet bedreigd op de Rode Lijst van de IUCN.

Otidiformes
Dier uit het Afrotropisch gebied
IUCN-status niet bedreigd

The State Assembly map in NYC for net year.
With last night's elections, a number of seats changed hands between the Democratic and Republican parties across New York State, and indeed the entire country. But in the five boroughs of New York City, it was a one-way street.
At the congressional level, for example, the city lost half its Republican representation with the exit of Queens' Bob Turner, who unsuccessfully ran for his party's nomination for the U.S. Senate. GOP Councilman Dan Halloran had his sights on the remnants of Mr. Turner's district in northeastern part of the borough, but the area's solidly Democratic tendencies allowed Assemblywoman Grace Meng to easily leap over Mr. Halloran and secure a new gig in Washington D.C.

'Imran Khan's aides sent misleading report about Gen Asim Munir to a friendly country'
By Web Desk Staff On Dec 16, 2022
Islamabad: Former prime minister Imran Khan's aides used a foreign diplomat to send a misleading report about the army chief Asim Munir at the time of his appointment, claimed senior journalist Azaz Syed.
While Azaz Syed did not reveal the name of the country, it is widely believed that it was Saudi Arabia.
He said that after reading the report, the leader of the friendly country had expressed strong resentment.
The journalist said that Pakistani authorities dashed to wake up the ambassador of the country to inform him that his deputy was used by the PTI leaders to send an incorrect report about General Asim Munir.
Azaz Syed said that the ambassador then rushed to make a phone call and inform his country's leadership that the report sent by his deputy was not correct.
Although the journalist did not share the content of the report, it is being speculated that it was about religious believes.
He also revealed that a couple of PTI leaders leaked Imran Khan's conversation about General Asim Munir to secret agencies.
The journaliat said Imran Khan had shared his views about the army chief in his container last month.
Azaz Syed, who was speaking on his YouTube show with investigative journalist Umar Cheema, also discussed the legal troubles that have the potential to disqualify Imran Khan.
He said that the cases pertaining to foreign funding, Tosha Khana, contempt of court and non-declaration of his love child Tyrian White can create a serious trouble for Imran Khan.
He said that Imran Khan's future depends on his relations with the country's powerful establishment which currently does not have a favorable view of him.

Q: How to save an object after submit with decent_exposure? I'm completely at a loss! I'm using decent_exposure gem for a first time and I suppose the problem is in it.
That's the link https://github.com/hashrocket/decent_exposure
When I submit my form, it saves nothing. All my table in database are just full of empty fields.
This is my form
<%= simple_form_for book do |f| %>
    <%= f.input :name %>
    <%= f.input :author %>
    <%= f.input_field :annotation %>
    <%= f.button :submit %>
<% end %>

This is my controller:
class BooksController < ApplicationController
  before_filter :is_admin?
  before_filter :authenticate_user!
  expose(:book, finder_parameter: :id, params: :book_params)
  #I've tried both expose(:book) and expose(:books)

  def create
    if book.save
      redirect_to(book)
    else
      render :new
    end
  end

  def update
    if book.save
      redirect_to(book)
    else
      render :edit
    end
  end

  def show
  end

  def is_admin?
    if current_user.admin?
      true
    else
      render :text => 'Registrate'
    end
  end

  def book_params
    params.require(:book).permit(:name, :author, :annotation)
  end

end

It gives a mistake

param is missing or the value is empty: book
def book_params
    params.require(:book).permit(:name, :author, :anotation)
  end

If I try just expose(:book) without params and book_params method, it seems to be okay but after submitting the form all the fields are nil. What am I doing wrong? Is there any mistake in params defining? I've been thinking and trying different variants for many many times and I can't imagine where is the problem. Every help would be appreciated!

A: I found it! There was "attribures: :book_params" instead of "params: :book_params"

A: What happens if you change line 4 in your controller from
expose(:book, finder_parameter: :id, params: :book_params)
to
expose(:book, params: :book_params) ?


It was 1926 when George Strandtmann and his mother moved to Austin from Lockhart. He became a registered St. Austin's parishioner in 1928 and has been ever since. George was born in 1919, the youngest in a family of five brothers and two sisters. His father died in the 1918 flu epidemic four months before George was born. In Austin, his mother took in roomers and boarders for extra income.
He attended St. Austin's School from the second to the sixth grade. The school was a three room building with two grades in each room and their teachers were the Dominican nuns. George was an altar boy for many years, until his early teens at least. He once served six Masses in a row on All Souls' Day. He said he was the only altar boy for all those Masses and it took over three hours. He was very hungry afterwards because there was a fasting requirement from food and drink after midnight. His teacher told his mother to take him home and feed him and he could skip school for the rest of the day.
When he was an altar boy at a funeral service, it was his job to stand outside the church and watch for the funeral procession to pull up in front of the Chapel. When he saw the first cars arriving, he began to toll the bell and he continued until the hearse arrived.
George graduated from U.T. with a business degree and began his work career a year later at U.T.'s Applied Research Labs. He joined the National Guard in 1940 and the Guard was mobilized after the Pearl Harbor attack. He served until 1945 and was stationed in Panama during World War II.
He and his late wife, Willie Mae, had been married for 70 years when she died in 2012. They had one daughter, Susan, who lives in Austin.
Although George cannot get to church often, he continues to keep up with news from St. Austin's via the bulletin and with his computer.

So mindfulness is good for you. But does it require sitting in an uncomfortable position for hours on end?
"The quality or state of being conscious or aware of something."
There appears to be some confusion between mindfulness and meditation, so let's clear that up. Mindfulness, as outlined above is simply being aware in the present moment. That could be about how you're feeling (physically and emotionally) and what you're thinking. In practice, it sounds easy, but in reality, we often lose focus and our thoughts wander. Which is where the meditation confusion can come in. One of the most effective ways to improve your ability to maintain focus – to be mindful – is to practice meditation. Meditation is that sense then can be seen as an exercise to build up mindfulness skill, in much the same way as lifting weights builds up muscles.
Why is mindfulness important for good education and life outcomes?
Someone who might be considered highly mindful has naturally a few advantages when it comes to schooling success. First, they'll be able to focus for longer periods of time. Better focus, supports better understanding and retention of information, so the ability to focus for longer periods is significant in itself. But a strong mindfulness practice trains you to identify when your attention has wandered, helping you to bring your attention back faster. This means that even when their minds do wander, the mindful individual identifies their lack of focus sooner and returns to the object of focus.
"A reader's mind typically wanders anywhere from 20 to 40 percent of the time while perusing a text.
The cost for students, not surprisingly, is that the more wandering, the worse their comprehension."
Given the wide array of ways for students to be distracted in this day and age (text messages, apps, social media, click bait etc.), offering mindfulness training provides a valuable support mechanism to help students stay focused on tasks that are meaningful and beneficial.
Absolutely. There are a number of studies that point to the benefits of mindfulness, where small interventions have been introduced, and positive gains have been made in quite short timeframes. While many of the activities centre around a meditation-type practice, there are also other activities that encourage students to pay more attention to the present. Take mindful eating as one example. Most of us know students who consume food rather than enjoy it. Mindful eating asks the student to pay attention to eating say, an apple. To note how it looks and smells, then, when bitten into, how it tastes, and sounds. Taking this type of mindful approach to everyday activities can help students to be more aware of what they're doing in a given moment, often leading to a greater sense of enjoyment in the moment.
In understanding the importance of mindfulness to education success, Passion Arena's programme is structured to support the improvement of student mindfulness and focus. Our first step is to introduce mindfulness (along with other core non-cognitive skills) to students so that they understand the benefits of learning and mastering such skills. We'll then support a range of our non-cognitive skills episodes with mindfulness activities, that work to reinforce the specific skill being introduced while reinforcing the value of mindfulness practice at the same time.

Mickey Mouse is an Emmy award-winning American series of animated shorts created by Disney Television Animation. It features the Sensational Six Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, Goofy, and Pluto and other classic characters in contemporary settings such as Paris and New York. The series evokes the slapstick feel of the classic Mickey Mouse and friends cartoons, but tries to avoid cliches of the classics such as anvils or TNT. The shorts also place the titular character in humorous situations that showcase his pluck and rascality along with his long-beloved charm and good-heartedness.
It is being executive produced and directed by Emmy Award-winning artist Paul Rudish, known for his work on Cartoon Network series such as Dexter's Laboratory and The Powerpuff Girls (1998). It was announced at Disney's upfront meeting on March 12, 2013 and premiered on June 28 on Disney Channel.
On September 14, 2020, Disney announced that the series will be succeeded by the Disney+ original series The Wonderful World of Mickey Mouse, with Paul Rudish returning as executive producer.[1]

High School for me was also very memorable....This wonderful writers really made you experience it once more. It leaves a joyful albeit bitter taste in your mouth when you remember some of your tales as when I was also in high school. Great work you guys!


Are you a novelist? Poet? Blogger?
It doesn't matter which genre you specialize in. I'll tell you the same thing: Writing short stories can help you become a better writer.
For those of you who are wary to spend your time writing short stories, let's be clear: Writing short stories is not a waste of time.
It doesn't matter if you publish your stories or not because either way, you'll get something great out of it— becoming a better writer!
Here's how short stories can help you become a better writer.
Before I wrote my first novella in 2013, I was honestly scared of writing fiction because I didn't think I had what it took to write a full-length novel. I'd started and stopped so many stories when I was a kid because I was always aiming for something huge. When I stopped worrying about the word count, my first finished novella came in at 30,000 words.
That's still a little long for a short story, but the point is this: If you're worried about length like I was, good stories are going to go left untold.
Take it one small step at a time. I wish I would have written more short stories years ago so I could have honed my craft early on. When you're writing, your creative juices are flowing, and you need that to help you become a better writer.
Am I saying short stories are only for beginners or aspiring novelists? Of course not, but it definitely does help those who are crippled with fear over length.
One thing I've noticed in my writing is that when I write long-form fiction, I get focused on reaching the destination and making sure each scene is going to take me there. But when doing that, it's easy to forget about the scene itself.
Short story writing is a little different.
While you should care about the destination, there are fewer scenes to focus on, allowing you to treat each one with special care.
The benefit to short stories is that they're more focused. Sub-plots are minimal, and you typically don't need to work in as much backstory as in long-form fiction.
Does that mean you should ignore dialogue and description in long-form fiction? Of course not.
But short stories help you exercise your talents to improve your word choice skills and help you learn how to paint vivid pictures for your readers.
A great exercise is to use short stories to tell stories that don't make it into your longer form fiction. Dig into your characters' backstories, or write short stories about secondary characters.
Even if it doesn't make it into your novel or an anthology, it helps strengthen your other books by giving you deeper insight into your characters and bringing their experiences to life.
Plus, you can always use these short stories as reader magnets, in your newsletter or in anthologies meant to build your readership.
Some people might argue with me, but I feel that self-editing a short story is easier than self-editing a novel.
In my experience, you're less likely to have major plot holes, and when you can read your story in one sitting, it gives you a better comprehensive view on your story.
With fewer scenes and subplots to focus on, you can focus more energy on each scene, your dialogue and word choice. All of this helps you become better at catching inconsistencies, grammar mistakes and other story elements.
Writing short stories can be tough. I find them more difficult than writing novels because there's less room to elaborate on backstory or work in "clues" to the final resolution.
It's not about cramming a novel into a shorter word count.
While you should still follow a story arc, it doesn't mean your scenes are fast-paced. It just means there are fewer scenes that get you to the destination, and that gives you the chance to really hone your skills when it comes to dialogue, description, setting, and pace.
If you're struggling to write short stories, a great tip is to listen to the real-life stories people tell you. These stories almost always follow a story arc with a beginning, middle and end, so it gives you a good place to start to come up with ideas that will suit the "short story" category.
Short stories are not just exercises to help you with long-form fiction. However, they can act that way when you want to improve your writing skills.
Have fun writing, and let us know in the comments below how your latest short story has helped shape your writing.

I want to know how to get started and to get contacts to get my poems and stories out there.
To my knowledge, it's very difficult to publish poems and short stories with traditional publishers. You might consider self-publishing. Or if you're not ready for that, you can publish stories online, such as your blog or on Wattpad to help you practice and get feedback.
Authors Publish http://www.authorspublish.com/ has some good resources. Of course, everything is competitive so be sure you send your very best edited and proofread work.
I agree with this article. There is much to be learned by writing short pieces.
My favorite writing exercise is even shorter than a novella or short story, the five-minute "sketch," a short passage written with no prep or revision in response to some kind of prompt, such as a title or first line. It's not written for publication, but can improve a writer's skills and tap into the depths of imagination in ways that enrich later work.
In the interests of full disclosure, I do have a potential conflict of interest, because I sell collections of prompts in my Etsy shop, but I do use them and find them helpful in my own writing.
Writing short stories seems a very intelligent way to use creative juices. I'm currently gathering (and honing) my poems together to set up a second collection of my poems. I'll write a short story tomorrow though because that will keep my creative brain ticking in a slightly differnet way.
Thanks for this advice article in the meantime.
Wonderful, Alicia, thanks for sharing. I'm writing only short stories right now, which land on my website or get published in online journals. I agree with all of your points! I particularly find it gratifying to be getting reaffirmation for short stories on current events from FB readers…a great way to build readership.
In my writers group, we are all working on novels except for one member who submits short stories… and I love it! Workshopping her short stories always help me re-focus on pacing–good pacing, fast pacing, getting into a scene and out again. Yay for short stories!
Great list of reasons. My short stories have been 250 words or even flash fiction. I enter free competitions and four have been published. I recommend entering your stories, especially where there's feedback. There are times when you question your writing and a bit of positive affirmation along the way works wonders for gaining confidence. It does for me, anyhow. Composing poems can also be beneficial, when you are exploring characters or plot progression in a novel. Local writing competitions appeal to some, but the judges can have a very narrow focus of interest and may prefer a restricted genre, which they are keen to encourage and dismissive of new writers, who do not match their insular ideas about short stories. National/international writing competitions tend to be on the look out for originality and genuine new talent. Short story competition preparation and entry is good practice for getting that final novel manuscript back to the publisher- for going live.
Excellent advice. I actually publish parts of a novella on my website. This is the second one I've done. I know it's not quite a short story, but I have written some. I also write poetry that I publish on my blog from time to time.
Great post and 5 great reasons. I love writing short stories. It has helped me become a much better writer because of it.
Being in my primary genre, I'm unindated with tales from everyone I meet which provides me with ample material.
Short stories, long stories… it doesn't seem to make any difference. Writing is not a problem. Not being a computer wiz, I can't figure out how to "publish" them. Amazon? Sure. If I could figure out what all that computer lingo means and how to do it, I'd be good. I'd like to publish collections of shorts… I have a lot of them, but … as above… can't get them in code. I'm a WRITER, not a computer guru.
One college art department head said her students would love a chance to get published and in print… but then I never heard back from her. Another college art department head sounded all enthused, but I never heard back from her either. Is "follow up" a problem in schools these days?
Another art venue asked me what "style" I wanted and she threw all these "art" classifications and styles at me. Lady… if I knew anything about art, (like the "styles" & etc) I wouldn't be talking to her.
So… it begins to seem that I'm going to have to do my own art. I've come up with an idea (maybe helpful to someone else?) I'm no slouch at photography. So I'm thinking I should just shoot some photos and use them as cover art or illustrations?
If you have any ideas, or contacts, pls kick back to me. Tnx!
Please visit my website and contact me if you are still looking for some formatting help, interior and cover, along with uploading to Amazon.
This is an area I've added to my repertoire having published a dozen books myself through large, small, and self venues.
I have completed 2 short stories, but need for someone to look at them for me with a critical eye. When I give them to people, they always say, "I liked the first one better than the second one," but never has anyone said anything about the content, just an overall yes or no. My family will never read anything I write, for some reason or another and all my friends say the stories are too long. The first one is 8500 words and the second one 6500, 19 and 15 pages, respectively. I could just use some help here. any takers?
I realize that your first choice is probably to get some feedback from a fellow author who is willing to help out for free, or perhaps in exchange for similar feedback on his or her own work. If, however, you end up deciding that you would like to invest in a critique from a professional editor, I hope you will keep me in mind. You might want to poke around the websites of a few editors to see who might be a good "fit" for you. Particularly take a look at my "Shop" section, where I have some critique packages that are especially good for shorter samples than a typical book manuscript.
Whatever you decide, I wish you success. It's exciting to have completed some stories, and I hope you find a home for them!
Thank you, Trish, I appreciate you stopping to take the time to help me out. You never said how much a professional editor would cost me. I have seen other prices and if you can beat them, that would help to sway more business your way. They are both fairly short pieces, 8500 and 6500 words, 19 and 15 pages. If you could give me your prices, lets go from there. Again, thanks for answering!
I suggest you look at my website, epiclesisconsulting.com, and go to the section called "Shop." You can find the kind of critiques you are looking for under "General Writing Critiques", and that will give you a sense of what I can offer and what it would cost. If the packages listed are not exactly what you are looking for, just click the "Contact" link to propose something that will meet your needs. I am not currently set up for electronic payment processing directly through my site, so you would need to register on Etsy to purchase one of the packages.
Thank-you so much for your interest!
Hi Trish-I have written several blogs. They are all about epilepsy because that is what I have. I could send you those too if you want. They are only about 400 words though. I will look on your website to find those prices. Thanks again for your prompt response!
If you're still interested, I'd love to read your work.
Ok. I am working on my third right now, but have kind of stalled. I can't think of anything that's not so outlandish. Want to keep it in the same tone. Howdo I get it to you?
Thank you for these tips. I'm just getting started writing short stories. I see the value in short stories now.
I had quite a successful few years publishing short stories in the nineties but then styles changed, the 'quick read' and 'twist in the tale' became popular, neither of which appealed to me (I loved writing characters). I then moved over to article writing and travel-writing and achieved reasonable success here as well. BUT, and it's a bit but, now I cannot get the creative juices flowing again and I find I cannot write short stories even for my own amusement. Any ideas as to how I can re-start the fiction muse? I'd love to pick it up again.
Have you tried writing short pieces using creative prompts? If you look in my post above, you'll see that I talked both about how those have helped me and about my "conflict of interest" because I sell collections of prompts.
The idea isn't necessarily that your next short story will flow from a prompt written by someone else, but that the exercise of using the prompts regularly for a while will get your creative juices flowing so that you'll soon be able to come up with ideas for your own stories again.
Whatever method you decide to use, I wish you happy writing!
I love the idea, but back in college, I never took a creative writing course.
Yup, four years of college, three years of graduate school and nary a course on writing.
All the craft books I've purchased emphasize the long-form style we call novels. So I started plotting stories that would more or less take 75-80K words.
I suspect the short story uses a different approach, or is it just fewer scenes?

The Supersonic Nazi Rocket Concept Designed to Bomb Any City in 1 Hour
Filed to:nazis
When WWII ended, American engineers examined a trove of Nazi concepts for rocket-powered weapons and airplanes. One of the most terrifying was Eugen Sänger's antipodal bomber, a manned supersonic plane designed to reach any city on Earth in one hour. Thank heavens it never worked.
Historian Amy Shira Teitel, who runs the fantastic Vintage Space blog over at Popular Science, brings us the story of Eugen Sänger, an Austrian rocket engineer who devised a concept for a rocket plane with a flat-bottomed fuselage. With the right propulsion—in this case, a rocket-powered slingshot on the runway—Sänger theorized that the plane would climb to the upper reaches of the sky, then skip across the lower levels of the atmosphere like a rock on a pond. He figured a pilot could reach any point on the globe within one hour, drop a bomb, and return to a predetermined landing site.
Here's Amy Shira Teitel explaining the terrifying concept:
Thankfully, the concept was never built. Though Sänger first envisioned use as a passenger or cargo plane, he approached the Austrian government for funding in the mid-1930s by highlighting the antipodal plane's potential as an intercontinental bomber. Unfortunately for Sänger, but fortunately for history, the liquid propulsion system the concept was built around was too unreliable for use, and his project went un-funded
Sänger continued to design experimental rockets for the Nazis, but his work was overshadowed by another Nazi rocket scientist: Wernher von Braun. The latter being German-born, he looked down on the Austrian Sänger's work, and von Braun convinced the Nazi government to quit funding Sänger's work.
Over at Vintage Space, you can read about how Sänger's skip-glide concept was tried by U.S. engineers, while Joseph Stalin attempted to kidnap Sänger to work for the USSR. None of it worked out, and to this day the antipodal bomber remains a terrifyingly futuristic concept that never got off the ground. [Amy Shira Teitel; Vintage Space]

The town of Varkala is famous for its temples. The Janardhana Hindu Temple is located at the temple square and is visited by lot of locals and outsiders.
Ride a few kilometres away from the town to the most scenic road of Kerala. The road has Kappil beach on one side and the backwaters on the other side. This road runs parallel to a railway track on a bridge on the backwaters.
Ride few kms further to the local fisherman villages by the beautiful Edava lake.
The best time to travel to Varkala is the off-season (mid-October to November or March) when it is relaxed and tranquil. It gets crowded and expensive in peak season – December-January.
Varkala is 50 kms (1.5 hours) away from Trivandrum and 160kms (5 hours) from Cochin. Buses / Trains / Taxis are easily available from these cities to Varkala.

Pride of Madeira are blooming all over Laguna Beach! You can't see these stunning purple flower spikes from a car. Park it and start walking.


The Shogun MC24 dozuki is designed for tenon shoulder cutting, cross-cutting and general cabinet making. Featuring a steel back for better rigidity, fine toothing and a thin 0.3mm blade that gives great accuracy. The blade is of course interchangeable as you would expect for a quality Japanese saw.

Q: LtSpice simulate the temperature rise of MOSFETS I would like to simulate the temperature rise of M1 given a certain temperature, but i dont know how to. All the components in the schematics have spice model ready.

If the load was constant i could have done this manually using the junction to ambient temperature, but the mosfet M1 has a PWM input which makes thing a bit more difficult, thus i turn to simulation.

A: Hold ALT key and then  right  left click on the component, you get power dissipation for the selected component.
Then hold CTRL and click on the trace. You'll get a window of calculated power, energy,... You have to calculate the temperature rise according to heat transfer formula - it depends on the heatsink you are using, PCB size, environment temperature, ...

For this example a power dissipation is 240mW, let's say that \$R_{thJA}\$ (Thermal resistance Junction to Air) is approximately 150K/W on a small PCB footprint would yield 36K of temperature rise above the air temperature.

A: I suggest you to look in Documents/LTspiceXVII/lib/sub/SOAtherm-NMOS.lib. The library file describes the way the powers are calculated, together with the thermal constants as RC ladder filters. You'll see that the powers are calculated, more or less, as the products of currents and voltages through and across the device, while the RC filters are calculated such that their response matches or come close to what the datasheets have to say.
