    1. An extraordinary burglary — attended by very singular circumstances, and perpetrated by a curious felon — occurred in this town on Monday night.

      the sentence uses the parallelism device. Parallelism is a literary device that involves the use of similar grammatical structures to create a sense of balance and rhythm. In this sentence, the three phrases "An extraordinary burglary," "attended by very singular circumstances," and "perpetrated by a curious felon" are all parallel in structure. They all begin with a noun phrase (an extraordinary burglary, very singular circumstances, a curious felon) and are followed by a prepositional phrase (attended by, perpetrated by). This parallelism creates a sense of rhythm and balance in the sentence, and it also helps to emphasize the three key pieces of information: that there was a burglary, that it was unusual, and that it was committed by a strange person.

    1. “There is far too much misinformation and disinformation polluting the public discourse over human-caused climate change. Climate Feedback provides a critical forum for true experts from within the scientific community to fact-check claims about the science and litigate the inevitable disputes that arise in media coverage of this politically-contentious topic.”

      — Michael Mann, Distinguished Professor, Penn State University

    2. scientists

      Hypothesis in a particularly effective way is Climate Feedback. A non-profit effort run out of UC Berkeley, it represents a group of nearly 200 high-profile climate scientists that use web annotation to mark up climate change media articles, adding contextual information and highlighting factual inaccuracies and faulty reasoning.

      Climate Feedback is paving the way for a new kind of fact-checking, crowdsourced directly among scientists with relevant expertise, providing in-depth analysis on a whole article, as well as “fact-checking” a number of claims at once.

      Event: Journalism & Fact-checking at I Annotate 2017 Fact-checkers and journalists came together at the fifth-annual I Annotate conference to talk about how annotation is enriching the ways we produce and consume both news and facts.
