This document provides guidance on evaluating online sources for research. It instructs the reader to assess sources by considering how they were found, credentials, currency, objectivity, bias, and advertising. It differentiates between subjective and objective sources and emphasizes constructing a complete picture by considering multiple sources as pieces of a puzzle. Useful references for learning to evaluate sources are also provided.
Always be aware of the information you find. Who wrote it? Is there bias? Is it current? Is it correct? The librarians from the Meriam Library at CSU Chico created this test to evaluate information.

PerkinElmer: The Determination of Benzene, Toluene, Ethyl Benzene, Xylenes an...PerkinElmer, Inc.
Levels of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylenes and styrene (BTEXS) find their way into olive trees and hence into the olives and olive oil mainly as a result of the presence of vehicle exhaust in ambient air. Although there is widespread concern about the presence of these carcinogenic compounds in olive oil, no definitive methods or limits have yet been prescribed.
Various methods have been developed to detect and quantify these compounds down to levels of 5ng/g (5 ppb w/w). In this work, we have developed a simple method to determine these components in olive oil using headspace (HS) extraction and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS).
Sample preparation simply comprises dispensing and sealing 10g of olive into a standard 22-mL headspace vial and sampling the headspace vapor after being equilibrated at 90°C. The vapor is introduced into a Carbowax capillary column for chromatographic separation. Detection, identification and quantification is performed using a quadrupole MS system with a novel ionizer and detection system that enables detection limits, in single ion monitoring (SIM) mode, down to below 0.5ng/g without the need for headspace vapor preconcentration. The analysis is fully automated and takes just 10.5 minutes for the chromatography and an additional 3.5 minutes for cool-down and equilibration between analyses.
Excellent quantitative performance has been demonstrated and the system is easily able to see concentrations of these compounds in the range 0.9ng/g to 126.1ng/g in olive oil bought from a local supermarket.
Examples of the chromatography and quantitative performance will be presented.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
How to Create Map Views in the Odoo 17 ERPCeline George
The map views are useful for providing a geographical representation of data. They allow users to visualize and analyze the data in a more intuitive manner.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

Evaluating Internet Sources
1.
2. Assess your source
How did you find the page?
What is the site’s domain?
What are the credentials on the page?
Is the page current and easy to navigate?
Does the page contain advertising?
Is the information accurate and objective?
Does the author discuss personal viewpoints or bias?
6. Subjectivity and Objectivity
Subjective - a source which persuades; a personal
viewpoint and may be biased e.g. a blog or article
Objective - a source which informs; balanced and
reliable research evidence
Look at the ‘About Us’ section for background
information
7. Construct your research jigsaw
Each source provides an incomplete picture; one
piece of the jigsaw
Ensure that accurate content is linked to your key
research terms
Reference key sources; if they have not been
quoted they do not need to be referenced
