Fact checking

When wearing the white hat, don t get sidetracked with fact-checking or arguments about whether something is true—validity can be confirmed later. 

From a legal perspective, implementation is also a locus of increased risk in the new TANF welfare world of the US. Seldom are entitlements for TANF assistance fully defined by a caseworker during the first assessment. Further fact checking and verification is always required. TANF places increased importance on accurate assessments for the welfare of TANF households since the prospect of judicial relief is diminished for households because cash public assistance is no longer an entitlement in the US. The myriad consequences of TANF implementation is an important, but complex and arcane, area of law and economic research (Riccucci 2005). 

The computer Is an Ideal tool for the creation (simulation) of different models describing the physico-chemical facts underlying a number of processes. Once the model has been constructed from characteristic parameters and its consistency with experimental facts checked, it allows the realization of countless simulated experiments In a short time. This, in turn, allows one to formulate predictions about the real system or even to estimate quantities that cannot be measured experimentally. 

Some of your research, whether searching for people, fact checking, or just trying to get a handle on a subject, will inevitably be done by phone. Be as prepared as possible for these calls. Knowing as much as you can (within time limitations) about the person you re calling and his or her area of expertise will sharpen your questions and make the call more productive. Be careful to use a professional tone and respectful manner. 

Fact checking means being able to footnote your film. Any fact stated, whether by you as the filmmaker or by someone on camera, needs to be verified through not one but at least two credible sources. Even authors of highly reputable sources make mistakes, and bias and inaccuracy can be found in both primary and secondary sources. Have you ever been at a rally that seemed packed, only to hear it described on the news as a "small number" of protesters Or sat through an afternoon in which the majority of speeches were credible and coherent, and the radio coverage featured a couple of speakers who clearly had no grasp of the issues The reports may be factual, but they don t accurately represent the events. 

Accuraqf is important. It s standard practice for potential sponsors to send proposals out for review by people who know the subject well. If you spell names incorrectly, get titles and dates wrong, or misrepresent factual information, it will (and should) be held against you. The proposal and the quality of work that goes into it are indicative of the film to come. Besides, the fact checking you do now, if filed carefully, will be useful later. 

Fact checking means going through your script line by line, finding the information that needs to be verified through at least two credible sources. If you can t confirm a fact—and it happens—find a way to write around it. Maybe you don t need to say that25,000 bikers rode into town. If your sources all agree that it was "over 20,000," then say that instead. 

It is possible, however, to speak of relative consistencies of the polymers of Fig. 5-10 or, in another sense, of the relative mobilities of diffusing species in them. If such a distinction is made, the materials could be arranged (in order of increasing consistency or decreasing diffusing species mobility) as polyethylene, polypropylene, polyisobutylene, and polystyrene. This fact checks with Einstein s original relation, which showed diffusivity to be related directly to the mobility of the diffusing species.
