Convincing...

 Statue Of Lady Justice - Central Arizona College


Clear and convincing evidence is a higher level of burden of persuasion than "preponderance of the evidence," but less than "beyond reasonable doubt."      

It is employed intra-adjudicatively in administrative court determinations, as well as in civil and certain criminal procedure in the United States.     

 For example, a prisoner seeking habeas corpus relief from capital punishment must prove his factual innocence by clear and convincing evidence.

This standard is used in many types of equity cases, including paternitypersons in need of supervisionchild custody, the probate of both wills and living wills, and many similar cases.

Clear and convincing proof means that the evidence presented by a party during the trial must be highly and substantially more probable to be true than not and the trier of fact must have a firm belief or conviction in its factuality.       

In this standard, a greater degree of believability must be met than the common standard of proof in civil actions (i.e. preponderance of the evidence), which only requires that the facts as a threshold be more likely than not to prove the issue for which they are asserted.

This standard is also known as "clear, convincing, and satisfactory evidence"; "clear, cognizant, and convincing evidence", and is applied in cases or situations involving an equitable remedy or where a presumptive civil liberty interest exists.

Most Isolated...

 Married Couple - Picture of Dream Beach Club Phuket, Thalang ...


Single people are far more connected to the social world around them. On average, they provide more care for their siblings and aging parents. They have more friends. They are more likely to offer help to neighbors and ask for it in return. 

This is especially true for those who have always been single, shattering the myth of the spinster cat lady entirely. Single women in particular are more politically engaged attending rallies and fundraising for causes that are important to them than married women. (These trends persist, but are weaker, for single people who were previously married.)

 Researchers found that those who were married without children were the most isolated. The  potential explanation for this is that these couples tend to have more time and money and thus need less help from family and friends, and are then less likely to offer it in return. The autonomy of successful married life can leave spouses cut off from their communities. Having children may slightly soften the isolating effects of marriage, because parents often turn to others for help.

The sociologists found that, for the most part, these trends couldn’t be explained away by structural differences in the lives of married versus unmarried people. They hold true across racial groups and even when researchers control for age and socioeconomic status. So it isn’t the circumstances of married life that isolate—it’s marriage itself.

Off-duty correction officer fatally shot after leaving party in ...

Witnesses near the crime scene say they heard shots and then saw a man lying on the ground, bleeding from the head.

“Everybody started running, screaming. I lost a shoe and a finger nail,” 

 ‘Yo, someone got shot, someone got shot.’ I ran to the corner.  I heard screeching like tires

Police sources said that a female fellow correction officer was with John Jeff at the time and she was the one who called 911.  Sources say it appears Jeff's killing was planned.

Earlier in the night, he and the woman had left the party.

When they were driving back to the party, they were boxed in by three cars and, sources say, a suspect got out of one of the cars and shot Jeff. Sad story.

Economics...

 Political Cartoon U.S. President Trump Joe Biden Economic Plan Motorcycles

"Its the economy stupid" phrase can be traced back to James Carville, who was a strategist for Bill Clinton’s successful 1992 presidential bid. 

It soon became the rallying cry for the Clinton campaign and later entered pop culture lore.

Carville was right, though: Most Americans of voting age care deeply about their finances. The global factors of the economy have a broad impact on so many facets of our lives, including our wages, our employment status and our savings/retirement accounts.

Is this the best African American Woman available this great country can provide? No one manage a small town or big city with poor people and rich ones, with transportation,roads, swage, water supplies, businesses and manufacturing, agriculture, etc... other than a law enforcement prosecutor? 

Just a thought.
