Science is based on the possibility of objectivity on the possibility of different people checking out for themselves the observations made by others. Without that possibility there is no empirical principle capable of deciding between different arguments and theories.

I have to do more close research and fact checking for the science fiction. This is not however to say that writing good fantasy does not involve doing good research.

Once I was checking to hotel and a couple saw my ring with Blues on it. They said 'You play blues. That music is so sad.' I gave them tickets to the show and they came up afterwards and said 'You didn't play one sad song.'

It is then by those shadows of the hoary Past and their fantastic silhouettes on the external screen of every religion and philosophy that we can by checking them as we go along and comparing them trace out finally the body that produced them.

I will check the internet for at least an hour every morning scanning worldwide news to do with child abuse. So if you're constantly putting yourself in an environment where you're checking up on social economics or homelessness problems if you keep yourself aware of it you don't really have a day off.

Checking the results of a decision against its expectations shows executives what their strengths are where they need to improve and where they lack knowledge or information.

To be honest I find going out pretty scary and intimidating. Got all those people checking you out with only one purpose: hooking up. I'm quite the dork I'd rather sit home and play Scrabble. But that doesn't get you a girl does it?

We all learn in school that the judicial legislative and executive branches of government must check and balance each other. But other non state institutions must participate in this important system of checks and balances as well. These checking institutions include the academy the media religious institutions and NGOs.

This is at the heart of all good education where the teacher asks students to think and engages them in encouraging dialogues constantly checking for understanding and growth.

People spend hours constantly checking and tweeting and Facebooking. And it's cool to check up on your friends and see what's going on in the world but it's not cool to spend five hours of your day on the computer looking at the Internet.
