 How to Write an Article in 20 Minutes

I don’t really want to spend more than 20 minutes a day on writing articles. And I spent no more than 20 minutes to write this article.

I realize this is writing blasphemy. Internet marketing is powered by content, and content is king. But when I have a daily schedule to post on and a business to run, I don’t have time to spend hours polishing every single blog post or writing 2,000-word articles.

Writing quickly doesn’t mean compromising on writing well, though. I’ve got seven tips to get you in and out of that composition box in twenty minutes – without sacrificing quality.

1. Keep an idea list.

When inspiration for a post strikes, scribble it down in a notebook or a word file. For many bloggers and content creators, finding the topic to write about takes up half the time. Keeping an idea list lets you leap in to a new post quickly when you’re ready to write.

2. Let your ideas incubate.

If you try to force yourself to come up with supporting information for your brilliant idea right away, it’s going to take ages. Let that topic sit for a few days, though, and you can add new ideas as they occurs to you – and when you’re ready to write, you’ll already have all the supporting info you need.

3. Edit before you start

You’ve probably got twice as many ideas as you need at this point, so it’s time to be brutal. Cut out any supporting idea that doesn’t fit with the main topic of the article. Remember, we’re talking about how to write an article in 20 minutes, not an epic. You can always use the ideas you don’t need for later posts.

4. Use bullet points

Bullet points, or numbered points like “10 Ways to Get More Subscribers”, can make writing an article a lot simpler in terms of organization because you no longer have to figure out transitions from one idea to the next. The great side benefit is that readers like lists; they’re easier for the eye to follow.

5. Keep it short

If you want to finish that article in 20 minutes, try to keep it under 500 words. Don’t feel like you’re skimping on quality content, either: this article is only about 500 words but it’s chockfull of information. Make every word count and you’ll save time without letting quality slip.

6. Come back later

If you find that you’re stuck, don’t try to force the words to come. Save the article and work on something else for awhile. If inspiration strikes, open up that document again. You can even switch from one blog post to another, spending a few minutes on each as ideas comes to you. It’s a huge time-saver.

7. Never save a good idea

It’s tempting, when you look through your list of ideas, to save the best ones for later because you think they’ll be easier to write. You don’t want to save time later, you want to save time now. Do the articles you know will come easily and make the most of that time.

Follow these simple steps and you’ll be on your way to brilliant articles in a fraction of the time. Share some of your favorite article writing tips in the comments!

Namibian activists want to take Germany to court

Namibian activists insist on direct negotiations with the German government over the genocide of 1904. The government says no - now the activists want to go to court. Their move is a sign that frustrations are growing. 

Activists commemorate the genocide of 1904 during a ceremony in Namibia

Bob Kandetu is a man who has clearly run out of patience. Herero leaders had resolved to "take the bull by the horns", the spokesman for the Ovaherero Traditional Authority grumbled. The activists want to take the German government to court. "Germany must now face the real threat of a long drawn out arbitration process," Kandetu said.
If the Ovaherero Traditional Authority gets its way, the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague could soon become involved in the dispute over how to deal with a dark chapter of German history in Africa.
After a failed uprising by members of the Herero and Nama ethnic groups in the then colony of German Southwest Africa, German troops under the command of Lieutenant-General Lothar von Trotha brutally massacred more than 80,000 people between 1904 and 1908. For decades, different German governments refused to recognize the mass killings as genocide.
Only last year, the speaker of Germany's parliament, Norbert Lammert, called the atrocities "genocide". To date, Germany has not formally apologized for the crimes.
Namibia and Germany are currently negotiating recognition of the genocide and a possible apology at government level. The talks are set to conclude by the end of the year. If both parliaments agree, Germany would apologize for the crimes committed. Germany and Namibia are also set to agree on a number of measures focusing on raising awareness of the genocide in both countries.

 

German imperial troops killed more than 80,000 people in the genocide

'No confidence in either government'
"The talks between the federal government and the democratically elected government of Namibia are progressing in a constructive manner and an atmosphere of mutual trust," Germany's Foreign Ministry told DW in a statement.
But Herero and Nama activists, like the Ovaherero Traditional Authority, are a lot less enthusiastic.
"We do not have any confidence in the German or the Namibian government anymore. They simply ignore us," Herero activist Israel Kaunatjike told DW.
Kaunatjike supports the Ovaherero Traditional Authority's demand for direct negotiations with the German government.
"We are the people concerned, the descendants of the victims," Kaunatjike said. He wants the Namibian government to act only as a "referee".

 

German imperial troops killed more than 80,000 people in the genocide

While the German and the Namibian governments have ruled out direct negotiations with the activists, the opposition Left party has called for the involvement of civil society in the talks.
"The important question is: Are the descendants of the Herero and Nama victims going to be included in the agreement between the two governments? They have made clear that they are not going to accept an apology that was agreed without them. That would be a disaster," Left party member of parliament Niema Movassat told DW in March.
A matter of money
One reason why the Herero activists are now becoming more aggressive in their push for direct negotiations with the German government is the fact that one of their most important demands does not seem to be on the table of the official negotiations.
"We're certainly going to get an apology, but what about reparations?" Kanautjike asked.

 

Norbert Lammert, speaker of Germany's parliament called the mass killings "genocide" in 2015

Germany has ruled out direct payments to Hereros and Namas.
"There is no basis for compensation claims under international law," Germany's Foreign Ministry insists. Instead, Germany has chosen an indirect form of compensation - development aid to Namibia is considerably higher per capita than to most other countries in Africa.
Now Herero representatives want to take their demand for direct negotiations to the next level. They want to take their case to the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague. The court provides a variety of dispute solving services to the international community. But so far, lawyers for the Hereros have not filed their case - and when they do, it is also not certain whether the court will agree to examine it.

Hankook's high-speed tests inch airless tires closer to production

Scott Collie July 15, 2015

Hankook's iFlex recently passed a series of tests for durability, hardness, stability, slalom and speed.

Airless tires are one step closer to becoming a production reality, after Hankook successfully put its iFlex tire through a series of high speed tests. The iFlex is Hankook's fifth attempt at non-pneumatic tires, and brings with it a number of environmental benefits compared to conventional tires. 

As you might have guessed from the name, non-pneumatic tires don't require any air. Instead, Hankook's iFlex eschews conventional construction for a material that the company says is energy-efficient to manufacture and easy to recycle. The material also has allowed Hankook to halve the number of steps involved in manufacturing.

In testing, the iFlex was put through its paces in five different categories: durability, hardness, stability, slalom and speed. The electric car Hankook used hit 130 km/h (81 mph) without damaging the tire, and the iFlex was able to match the performance of a conventional pneumatic tire in all the other tests – although further details about the results have not been revealed.

Hankook isn't the only company testing airless tires. Michelin has opened a North American plant dedicated to production of the Tweel, and Bridgestone has been testing its recyclable, puncture-proof tires on Japanese single person vehicles that are usually used by the elderly.

Although still in the testing phase, the airless tire has huge potential in production cars. They don't puncture, and depending on the materials used they also have the potential to significantly cut down on the emissions involved in the production and recycling of tires.

Daydream believers? How Android VR changes the consumer virtual reality landscape

Will Shanklin May 22, 2016

Google's Daydream announcement was pretty tame – but it still changes the VR landscape in a few ways (Credit: Will Shanklin/Gizmag) View gallery (6 images)

This year's Google I/O may have fallen short of our lofty dreams of a fully standalone VR headset, but it did still paint a pretty clear picture of where Google is going with this stuff – and how that changes (and doesn't change) the consumer VR landscape.

• 
• 
• 
• 

Daydream is (much) more reactionary than innovative

Daydream, the branding for Android N's built-in VR component, is mostly about catching up with the Gear VR, presenting an open, platform-wide alternative. To say the Daydream announcement was a disappointment would be a little unfair, since we're comparing it to a leak- and rumor-fueled fantasy, something that even the best companies can never fully surpass, and only rarely match. But there still wasn't a lot for a VR early adopter to salivate over this week.

Daydream doesn't seem to be about pushing any boundaries – at least not as part of anything Google has announced so far. A Gear VR type of platform (insert phone in hollow housing, and presto – instant VR headset) that works with most high-end Android flagships, rather than just those made by Samsung, is a smart long-term business move. It's also the next logical step in Google Cardboard's transition into full-blown consumer VR.

But where was the magic? Where are the moonshots? Where's the holy shit, Google just owned this mobile VR game kind of stuff?

 

 

The only real differentiator at this point between Daydream headsets and the Gear VR – apart from the enormous gap in quality VR content the Play Store is facing – is a single gesture controller reference design. And yes, that's controller – singular – as far as we can tell. Prepare for a barrage of one-handed games, where your off-hand just hangs at your side like a dead fish.

... and we also have no idea how good the tracking is on the controller, as Google had nothing to demo this week. Is it Vive-level tracking or PS Move level tracking (or worse)? If it's the latter, then no thank you.

If Oculus and Samsung are already working on things like positional tracking and motion controls – plural – for the Gear VR, then Daydream shouldn't pose much of a threat anytime soon. So far it looks like Google's short-term VR aspirations are aiming a bit lower than we'd hoped, only catching up to today's mobile VR, rather than preparing to stand toe to toe with tomorrow's mobile VR. At the rate this stuff is moving, it will be here sooner than you think.

Closed Oculus now has an open rival on two platforms

Speaking of Oculus, Facebook's VR company is now officially playing the closed/walled garden role on both of its platforms, PC and mobile. Nothing has changed in Oculus' strategy, but Daydream now has a chance to play the equivalent of the SteamVR role on Android. Open platform that will eventually support a variety of headsets vs. closed platform tied to one brand of headset that banks on exclusives and brand awareness to lure you in.

In other words, Oculus is trying to be the iPhone of VR. The role of Android is being played by SteamVR and, in a meta starring as himself role, Google's Daydream.

The big difference is SteamVR launched on Windows with one utterly badass headset, which is clearly better than its walled garden rival. We've yet to see any Daydream hardware, and there was nothing in Google's announcement to suggest any of them will offer much beyond what we've already seen from the Gear VR, much less future Gear VRs that will be here by the time Daydream launches.

Valve and HTC have openness and cutting-edge quality on their sides; so far Google just has openness. Don't expect a Vive-like entry for Daydream.

Mobile VR isn't fully taking advantage of its wireless nature

PC-based VR is by far the best, and probably will be for quite some time. But mobile has one huge advantage in being wireless.

Mobile VR headset makers aren't doing much with that, though, by leaving out positional tracking and real gesture control. If you can only be tracked sitting in one spot, then there's little advantage in your headset having no cables. Wireless should mean freedom, being able to move around a space and having your movement tracked accordingly. Right now it's a wasted opportunity.

The technology is there. All mobile VR companies would need to do is add an external sensor and a couple of controllers. The problem is they're viewing mobile VR like other mobile devices, thinking portability needs to trump everything else.

We can't complicate our portable VR by making users plug in sensors and carry around extra controllers!!

We think that's skewed thinking. Even when there's a smartphone inside, VR isn't like a smartphone or tablet; you aren't likely to want to use it while sitting on a train or on your office lunch break. I'd be shocked if mobile VR wasn't used more at home than anywhere else – by a wide margin.

Instead of seeing mobile VR as the portable one, mobile VR headset makers need to start seeing it as the wireless one. Make it a more complete VR experience, including positional tracking and tracked controllers. It won't be as powerful as PC-based VR, but if it's wireless, we won't care.

Maybe we should stop confusing the issue by calling it "mobile VR." How about "wireless VR" or just "smartphone-based VR?" Just because there's a phone inside doesn't mean it needs to follow the same mobile strategy as smartphones and tablets. It will never make sense to be used in most places you use those devices.

Hey, Apple: The pressure is on

Android will soon have not just the Gear VR inside Samsung's kingdom, but also Daydream filling in the gaps on the HTC, LG, Nexus and Huawei phones of the world. Within six months or so, I'm guessing all new Android flagships worth mentioning will be capable of some fairly high-quality VR experiences.

Rumors and patents have pointed to Apple working on something VR-related, but it doesn't sound like that's going to happen this year. Leaks are pointing to 2017 as being the year when the iPhone switches to an OLED panel, which tells us that's likely when the iPhone will become a VR platform.

By that time Apple will be very, very late to this party. Apple already plays the role of follower much more than it used to (for starters, see iPad Pro/Surface), but this VR train has been building up steam for a few years now. A late 2017 launch for Apple would cement its status as not just a company that's more reactionary than innovative, but one with not particularly fast reflexes.

Being Apple, there will naturally be some amazing-sounding feature it pitches as making the wait worthwhile. And who knows, maybe it will live up to that billing. Of course the iPhone's dominant status in the smartphone industry will guarantee some degree of importance no matter what – sort of the way Apple Music quickly became a major player in streaming music, despite arriving years after Spotify and others.

But fleshing out your platform with badass VR content isn't the same as buying agreements with record labels. The more time that passes where iOS isn't a hotbed of VR development, the harder a time it's going to have catching up to the Gear VR's and Daydream's game libraries. The pressure is on, Apple.

For more on today's VR, you can hit up our coverage of the Daydream announcement, and our reviews of the HTC Vive, Oculus Rift and Gear VR.
