			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In civil court matters, a process server is someone who serves or delivers legal documents, ie. subpeonas, summonses, court orders, various legal notices and in some cases writs. Process servers normally fall into one of four (4) categories:</p>
<p>1. Registered or licensed process servers: In most states, process servers are registered by their county. In some states, like California a process server, once registered in one county can serve papers in any other county within that state. In some other states a process server can only serve papers in the county in which he or she is registered. Most, but not all counties, when registering a process server require the applicant to be bonded or insured.</p>
<p>2. Private detectives and investigators: In most states private detectives and investigators are licensed by the state and exempt from registering as process servers. They and anyone in their employ can serve legal process and when doing so are considered officers of the court.</p>
<p>3. Sheriffs, Marshals and Constables: Sworn peace officers.</p>
<p>4. Non registered or licensed individuals: Friends, relatives and others.</p>
<p>In many states as in California a non registered individual may serve up to ten (10) legal documents each year provided that individual is not a party to the action at hand. ie: a plaintiff or defendant, etc.. When the service of the paper has been completed the server must sign an affidavit that the paper was served properly. That affidavit must usually be signed under penalty of perjury.</p>
<p>It is not usually a good idea to have a non professional serve process. They do not normally know the laws and rules involved in process serving nor do they usually know how to fill out a proper proof of service. Either of these can cause a service to be declared invalid and possibly cause you to lose the case or at the least force you to start over. Additionally many people attempt to evade service and a professional has a better chance of completing service. Finally, process serving can be very dangerous. Many people get very angry when served and attempt to take it out on the process server. Over the years I have had many servers beat up and attacked with knives or clubs or hit with thrown rocks.<br />
I have had several servers that were non fatal victims of vehicular attacks and three servers that were shot, several more were shot at but not hit.</p>
<p>At one time, Sheriffs, Marshals and Constables were considered good choices for serving papers, however that is not now usually the case. Most Marshals no longer serve papers and many Sheriffs and Constables are so busy doing other things that your papers may sit for weeks or longer before or if they are taken out for service. Additionally, many people, when the see a Marshal&#8217;s or Sheriff&#8217;s uniform, just do not answer their door. The Sheriff or Marshal walks away and the papers are returned unserved.</p>
<p>Licensed private detectives and investigators can sometimes make the best servers, however not all of them serve papers and many believe that since they are &#8220;big shot&#8221; investigators they should charge far more than registered process servers. Others serve so few papers that they sometimes &#8220;make a mountain out of a molehill&#8221; and turn a fairly easy service into a difficult one. Other investigators turn every service into an investigation in order to run up billable hours. Then again, if you find a good detective agency, they will have numerous service assignments and investigators that can serve papers fast and efficiently for a reasonable fee.</p>
<p>Most licensed investigators can be trusted to be honest about the papers they serve. It is not easy to obtain a license and if they get caught commiting perjury by saying they served a paper when they did not or if they get caught billing a client for work that was not done, they can lose their license. If they lose their license they are out of business as they usually can not get a license reinstated. Additionally, in most states, complaints can be filed against a licensee and those complaints are investigated. Prospective clients can contact the state licensing board and obtain a record of adjudicated complaints.</p>
<p>Registered process servers usually know the laws and rules and for the most part are honest and hard workers. In most counties it is, however, easy to register and there is usually no licensing body to keep an eye on them. Therefore, if the registration is revoked the server can usually get a friend or relative to register and then the server can list himself or herself as an independant contractor working for the new registrant. Also there is no experience required in order to register. Finally there is usually no place where a prospective client can check for or file a complaint against a registrant. The only recourse a client usually has against a registered process server is to file a law suit against the party and then if a judgment is obtained to go against the registrants bond. Note, however that not all registering counties or states require a bond and those that do usually require a bond of $2000.00 or less.</p>
<p>When searching for a process server take care. Do not choose just anyone. Never use a friend or relative. If you find a server over the internet do not just go by the looks of the web site. A person can be a poor web site designer and a good server or vice versa. Call the server and ask questions based on the foregoing information in this article. If the server refuses to speak with you do not use his or her services. If the server is a licensed investigator check out the license. Contact the Better Business Bureau and see if they have any information. Try not to use a one person operation as he or she may not be able to keep up with the workload or may be forced to charge high fees in order to make up for a lack of steady business.</p>
<p>When making your choice do not go by price. Expensive servers are not necessarily the best just as inexpensive servers are not necessarily the worst. Hallstrom Detective Agency was considered to have one of the best process serving divisions in the United States, yet we charged less than almost any other service in the country. Ask about addirtional fees. Many companies quote a low initial fee and then tack on a fortune in incidental fees.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In this article I will illustrate the importance of learning a second language for the broadening of one&#8217;s life and opportunities.</p>
<p>Knowing a second language has it&#8217;s benefits and the importance of learning a second language is vastly underestimated.</p>
<p>The importance of learning a second language is greater today than ever. As the world keeps shrinking with greater advances in communications technology and modes of travel, people are moving around both physically and in cyberspace at an ever-increasing rate. Immigration and tourism are growing rapidly in many countries. You may live in a country with one &#8220;official&#8221; language but chances are that many other languages will be spoken in that country.</p>
<p>But how do you set about learning a foreign language?</p>
<p>Here are some tips.</p>
<p>1. Make sure you enjoy it. Make it fun. It will make the learning process easier for your brain.</p>
<p>2. Don&#8217;t get stressed out if you can&#8217;t remember words or phrases. Slowly it will all begin to fall into place.</p>
<p>3. Allocate enough time to study. Promise yourself you will study for &#8220;x&#8221; hours per week. If you are a student, or you work, don&#8217;t put too much pressure on yourself by thinking you will be able to study more than you actually find comfortable. This will be counter productive because you won&#8217;t enjoy it and you will become stressed (see points 1 and 2 above)</p>
<p>4. Learn with someone. It will be easier, and you will each have a &#8220;practice partner&#8221;</p>
<p>If you live in an area where your next door neighbors&#8217; primary language is not your own, wouldn&#8217;t it be nice to be able to speak their language also? You can get to know them on a more personal basis, get invited to more parties and more easily ask for help if you need it. Of course, if you don&#8217;t care to talk to your neighbors or you live in an area where everyone speaks the same language, this would not apply. But what if you are the type of person who likes to spend a lot of time on-line? The Internet brings the world to your desktop! Wouldn&#8217;t it be nice to be able to chat with someone on the other side of the world in their own language?</p>
<p>If you are a single man or woman looking for Mr. or Mrs. Right, why limit yourself to only those who speak your own language? The perfect one for you may speak a different language! Many relationships like this are made but are problematic because of the lack of communications. Having a good knowledge of the other&#8217;s primary language is a tremendous help.<span id="more-540"></span></p>
<p>If you own a business or work in sales, the importance of learning a second language should be evident. Knowing another language allows you to develop international business contacts, prepare advertising targeted to markets that speak another language or do sales work in neighborhoods with mixed languages. Expanding your market is one of the best ways to increase business, so why not learn the language of the market you are interested in? You have probably read stories of advertising screw ups where a product name or advertising copy did not translate well. You can prevent this type of thing from happening by learning the language.</p>
<p>The importance of learning a second language for business opportunities goes for employment opportunities as well. Having at least one other language on your resume is a big plus. It means that you are more valuable to the employer because you can help with more customers, deal with more business contacts or help prepare more targeted advertising.</p>
<p>Try and work out how you would say everyday occurrences in the new language. For example, you have to phone and ask for an appointment at the doctors. When finished, try and work out how you would have said it in the second language you are learning. Find out, write it down, then teach your practice buddy. Teaching is the best way to learn.</p>
<p>Second language benefits are numerous.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is rare that a show manages to be so overwhelmingly effective at accomplishing essentially everything which it sets out to do as the Dora the Explorer cartoon has proven to be. In many ways, the Dora the Explorer cartoon follows in the footsteps of such public television greats as Mister Rodgers&#8217; Neighborhood and Sesame Street. These shows, like Dora, managed to be entertaining, charming, and still teach children everywhere a number of valuable lessons which were about more than just your basic academics.</p>
<p>Indeed, the Dora the Explorer cartoon does teach many of the basics that children in the target age group should be learning, essentially an animated preschool classroom. However, Dora goes further than just your basic shapes and numbers by integrating a constant flow of Spanish vocabulary into each episode. This may not seem to be particularly significant at first, but here are two basic reasons which make this important in the lives of children today.</p>
<p>The first reason is the state of global relations currently. It is often said that the world is getting smaller every day, and for the most part that is true. Communications technology is making it easier and easier to talk to someone across the world as easily as you could talk to someone across the street. The borders between cultures are blurring and crossing at an ever-increasing rate. In this world, where communication is paramount, children who learn a second language are at a potentially great advantage over other children in the long run. While it is true that most high schools require students to take foreign language classes, a child&#8217;s brain is far more receptive to learning languages in their early years. This means that the Dora the Explorer cartoon is introducing children to Spanish at the age when they are best able to integrate a new language, and thus setting them up to be well prepared in the long run.<br />
<span id="more-538"></span><br />
The second reason this is important, though, is quite possibly far more important than the first. While the Dora the Explorer cartoon introduces children to the Spanish language, it also introduces them to elements of the Latin culture. These elements may be subtle, but they are the basis of a powerful message that is every bit as powerful as anything children are learning in schools. It is a lesson that is as vital as it is simple: diversity is good.</p>
<p>There can be no doubt that this is something the newest generation of the world&#8217;s children needs to learn, as they are growing up in a world where so many people are still so blinded by where someone is from that they can never seem to see who that person is. Things like the Dora the Explorer cartoon have the potential to help a great deal to bring up a generation of children who, when they come in contact with someone who is different from themselves, they do not think of how those differences separate them, but rather they think of what those differences can teach them.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Do you have children in school &#8211; or are you planning for it soon?</p>
<p>Have you asked yourself if public schools are really doing all they can to improve your child and educate him or her for the real world?</p>
<p>Do you try to stifle desires to send them to private schools because of the cost or the perceived &#8216;elitist&#8217; mentality?</p>
<p>Have you ever had a day arrive when your child comes home worn out, agitated and frustrated and thought to yourself &#8220;I&#8217;d love to keep my child home and teach him myself &#8211; if only I had the time.&#8221;</p>
<p>Now, maybe you can. Here are some of the options.</p>
<p>PRIVATE SCHOOLS COST MONEY</p>
<p>Yes, private schools are sought by the wealthiest and most privileged of society. Although some would likely debate the benefits of private schooling over public schooling most parents probably have considered the option and would jump at the opportunity to give private schooling to their children if it appeared.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, for most families, private schooling is simply not a reality. At a cost of $7000 and upwards, the ability to afford such education is beyond their means. Religious affiliated schools are less expensive, but still not an option for many families with a of cost several thousands per year.</p>
<p>HOME SCHOOLING TAKES PARENTS TIME</p>
<p>Traditional home schooling where the parent is the supervisor of the child&#8217;s work is another option. With fantastic resources and helpful teachers to assist, it has been a form of education that can be the answer to parents who want the one-on-one education that public schools cannot provide.</p>
<p>Home schooling has been the basis of society for thousands of years &#8211; long before schools came about. However, in today&#8217;s society it can be difficult for parent&#8217;s to maintain the supervision of assignments that is needed for home schooling. This may become even more of an issue as a child gets into the higher grades and parents are unfamiliar with the curriculum or are working and do not have as much time to assist them.</p>
<p>INTERNET HOME SCHOOLING</p>
<p>A new addition to education, the internet is now providing the ability for parents to give their child an enhanced curriculum, control over education, and online support. This will all cost much less than private school at an average cost of $900 per year.<br />
<span id="more-536"></span><br />
Older children can benefit from online teachers who are able to supervise the work &#8211; a huge benefit for working or single parents. Many accredited Internet schools offer similar courses to those available in private schools.</p>
<p>Joel Turtel, who is the author of &#8220;Public Schools, Public Menace: How Public Schools Lie To Parents and Betray Our Children,&#8221; says that busy working parents can give their kids a quality, low-cost education at home using the Internet. K-12th grade Internet schools can take most of the homeschooling burden off parent&#8217;s backs.</p>
<p>Perhaps this is the answer you&#8217;ve been looking for.</p>
<p>Not Being Able To Juggle In A Third</p>
<p>Ready to add a third factor into the equation? Concentrate on throwing ball number #3 and do not even try to catch ball #2, advises The Instant Jugglers&#8217; Manual. Or once you have two areas of focus pretty much underway, say your career and family, add the third  education.</p>
<p>Get help planning your education into the mix with resources. Head to your local educational center or public libraries for help. Dont get left dropping  or not juggling  the ball!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Some people who have studied global issues would say there was no such thing as global warming and it is all a big hoax. However, others disagree and believe that since the industrial revolution, we are having a negative affect on our environment.</p>
<p>The best place to start is to look at what we have already been led to believe.</p>
<p>The Greenhouse effect is the relationship between the earth and the sun. The sun provides the earth with the heat and energy it needs and the earth releases back that energy into space.</p>
<p>The greenhouse effect comes into play as the gases in the earth trap that energy so that it cannot be released back into space therefore, warming the earths environment.</p>
<p>The greenhouse effect is a natural process and vital to our survival, without it, the earth would be cold.</p>
<p>Gases such as Methane, Carbon dioxide and water vapour all trap energy from the sun and enable the warming of the earth.</p>
<p>It is commonly known that plants provide Carbon dioxide (C02), but not so commonly known that plants also remove carbon dioxide.</p>
<p>This is because, when a plant dies and is buried into the earth, these plants become fossil fuel which is coal and oil.</p>
<p>When coal and oil is burned, this then removes the carbon dioxide from the air around it.</p>
<p>200 years ago, before machinery was invented and cars filled our streets, global warming wasnt an issue.</p>
<p>The natural gases which came from the earth would trap energy to warm the earth, however, since the industrial revolution, more gases are being produced, which means more energy is trapped and result is global warming.<br />
<span id="more-534"></span><br />
Activists and researches cannot agree as to whether or not humans are causing global warming, but I think we can all agree that when something unnatural occurs, it affects the natural.</p>
<p>If we are producing more gases than what is known as natural, then you would expect that this would have an affect on our environment, but whether or not this affect is causing global warming, well, we will have to leave that down to the scientists.</p>
<p>It is said that in the last century the earth has warmed by 1%, although this is not a massive amount, it still could be an unnatural 1% which would have an effect on the earths climate.</p>
<p>The truth of the matter is, the earth works in a certain way that even the best scientists in the world cannot fathom it. We can never assume we know it all just as we cannot 100% rely on what we already believe we know as there could be many unknown factors that have not been taken into account.</p>
<p>It is natural to believe that we are having some kind of affect on our environment in comparison to 200 years ago, but is the cause of global warming? I guess we couldnt say either way, but what we do know is that we need to keep it in mind and do what we can to help our environment.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are several types of scholarship grants out there. And the best part is you can get it everywhere. You can get it from your school academic office, colleges and universities, local government, corporations, institutions, and the internet. But the bad thing is, in spite the availability of these scholarships, applicants seem to be discourage for certain reasons. Here are the common myths you need to know before getting discourage on applying for a college scholarship:</p>
<p> Scholarships are for highly intellectual students only.</p>
<p>Most students are discouraged with the idea that all scholarship grants are reserved for A students. This is 100% untrue. Although many scholarships offered everywhere have something to do with considering the academics performance of students, there are several factors that are also taken into great account. For this matter, scholarship grants can also be available for B and C students.</p>
<p>Many scholarships also have something to do with any field outside the norms of academic performance and grades. For example, there are scholarships for athletes, artists, performers, and so on. There are some scholarships that consider the weight of the applicants involvement in community development. The thing is you dont have to be an Einstein to win a scholarship.<br />
<span id="more-532"></span><br />
 Scholarships are only for the underprivileged</p>
<p>While there are many institutions that provide scholarships for the underprivileged, other scholarships do not fall on this condition. Many scholarships are granted for middle class or even for those who can afford. It is true that most scholarships are based on the need; there are some that arent. As a matter of fact, there are many scholarships that are based on the merits. This means that an applicant is not measured based on the financial capability but on academic proficiency and extracurricular activities.</p>
<p> Scholarships involve money right at the application process</p>
<p>Yes, there are groups or institutions that will do all the work for you. They will find the most suitable scholarship for your need and they will process your scholarship application. Be warned that these might be scams. They do not intent to give you the scholarship you need but the money you earned. If you come across this, never give any payment.</p>
<p> You cannot apply for several types of scholarships</p>
<p>The fact is you can always apply for several types of scholarships you think you are qualified into. Just make sure you give attention on the requirements and you are on the way in getting to a school you always dream of.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Its sad but true  many people only purchase homeowners insurance because theyve borrowed the money to pay for their home and their lenders require them to purchase a homeowners insurance policy until the home is completely paid for. Therefore, not everyone who purchases a homeowners insurance policy puts much thought into the ins and outs of the homeowners insurance policy they purchase.<br />
<span id="more-530"></span><br />
If youre one of these people, you may not be familiar with the actual cash value coverage and replacement cost coverage offered by homeowners insurance policies; therefore, you might want to take the following information as a quick education on actual cash value coverage and replacement cost coverage.</p>
<p>There are two basic ways you can be compensated by your homeowners insurance policy. You may be compensated by the actual cash value or on a replacement cost basis.</p>
<p>If your home or any of its contents are damaged or lost due to a factor covered under your homeowners insurance policy, you may choose to be compensated by actual cash value coverage. This means youll be paid the depreciated value of your damaged property. One reason people opt for actual cash value coverage because they cant, or dont want to, replace the property that has been damaged.</p>
<p>On the other hand, if your home or any of its contents are damaged or lost due to a factor covered under your homeowners insurance policy, you may choose to be compensated by replacement cost coverage. This means youll be compensated the amount of money it will take to replace the property that has been damaged or lost. The amount youre given is usually the amount it will cost to replace the damaged or lost property at its current price. You will be given the amount it will take to replace the damaged or lost property with another that is similar in type and quality of the one that was damaged or lost.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The main purpose of education is to place beneficiaries in the same competitive edge as the naturally endowed persons.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What is the Difference between Healthy Narcissism and the Pathological Kind?<br />
In my book &#8220;Malignant Self Love &#8211; Narcissism Revisited&#8221;, I define pathological narcissism as:</p>
<p>&#8220;(A) life-long pattern of traits and behaviors which signify infatuation and obsession with one&#8217;s self to the exclusion of all others and the egotistic and ruthless pursuit of one&#8217;s gratification, dominance and ambition.&#8221;</p>
<p>Luckily for us, we are all narcissists to some degree. But healthy narcissism is adaptive, flexible, empathic, causes elation and joy (happiness), and help us to function. Pathological narcissism is maladaptive, rigid, persisting, and causes significant distress, and functional impairment.</p>
<p>Prevalence and Age and Gender Features</p>
<p>According to the DSM IV-TR, Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) is diagnosed in between 2% and 16% of the population in clinical settings (between 0.5-1% of the general population). The DSM-IV-TR proceeds to tell us that most narcissists (50-75% of all patients) are men.</p>
<p>We must carefully distinguish between the narcissistic traits of adolescents &#8211; narcissism is an integral part of their healthy personal development &#8211; and the full-fledge disorder. Adolescence is about self-definition, differentiation, separation from one&#8217;s parents, and individuation. These inevitably involve narcissistic assertiveness which is not to be conflated or confused with Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD).</p>
<p>&#8220;The lifetime prevalence rate of NPD is approximately 0.5-1 percent; however, the estimated prevalence in clinical settings is approximately 2-16 percent. Almost 75 percent of individuals diagnosed with NPD are male (APA, DSM IV-TR 2000).&#8221;</p>
<p>From the Abstract of Psychotherapeutic Assessment and Treatment of Narcissistic Personality Disorder By Robert C. Schwartz,Ph.D., DAPA and Shannon D. Smith, Ph.D., DAPA (American Psychotherapy Association, Article #3004 Annals July/August 2002)</p>
<p>However, as the narcissist grows old and suffers the inevitable attendant physical, mental, and occupational restrictions, Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) is exacerbated.</p>
<p>Studies have not demonstrated any ethnic, social, cultural, economic, genetic, or professional predilection or susceptibility to the Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD).</p>
<p>Still, Robert Milman suggested a condition that he labeled &#8220;Acquired Situational Narcissism&#8221;. He observed a transient and reactive form of the Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) in certain situations, such as under constant public scrutiny and exposure.</p>
<p>Comorbidity and Differential Diagnoses</p>
<p>Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) is often diagnosed with other mental health disorders (&#8220;co-morbidity&#8221;), such as mood disorders, eating disorders, and substance-related disorders. Patients with Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) are frequently abusive and prone to impulsive and reckless behaviours (&#8220;dual diagnosis&#8221;).<br />
<span id="more-522"></span><br />
The comorbidity of Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) with other personality disorders, such as the Histrionic, Borderline, Paranoid, and Antisocial Personality Disorders, is high.</p>
<p>Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) is often misdiagnosed as Bipolar Disorder (the manic phase), Asperger&#8217;s Disorder, or Generalized Anxiety Disorder &#8211; and vice versa.</p>
<p>Though the personal styles of patients with Cluster B personality disorders resemble each other, they also substantially differ. The narcissist is grandiose, the histrionic coquettish, the antisocial (psychopath) callous, and the borderline needy.</p>
<p>From my book, &#8220;Malignant Self Love &#8211; Narcissism Revisited&#8221;:</p>
<p>&#8220;As opposed to patients with the Borderline Personality Disorder, the self-image of the narcissist is stable, he or she are less impulsive and less self-defeating or self-destructive and less concerned with abandonment issues (not as clinging).</p>
<p>Contrary to the histrionic patient, the narcissist is achievements-orientated and proud of his or her possessions and accomplishments. Narcissists also rarely display their emotions as histrionics do and they hold the sensitivities and needs of others in contempt.</p>
<p>According to the DSM-IV-TR, both narcissists and psychopaths are &#8220;tough-minded, glib, superficial, exploitative, and unempathic&#8221;. But narcissists are less impulsive, less aggressive, and less deceitful. Psychopaths rarely seek narcissistic supply. As opposed to psychopaths, few narcissists are criminals.</p>
<p>Patients suffering from the range of obsessive-compulsive disorders are committed to perfection and believe that only they are capable of attaining it. But, as opposed to narcissists, they are self-critical and far more aware of their own deficiencies, flaws, and shortcomings.&#8221;</p>
