Ok, so i've been looking for this forever, but i can't find it. I'm going to school in Pennsylvania but i live in New York and i can't find anywhere near Philadelphia or Buffalo that offer EMT courses. If there were summer courses near buffalo that'd be ideal. I know they're at like junior colleges and stuff, but i really can't find any registry stuff or anything, please help.

Depending on your exact area there should be an EMS council there. Bucks County Emergency Health Services (County of Bucks), Philadelphia EMS Council (City of Philadelphia) and there is one in Montgomery County. These places may be able to direct you to an EMT class in your area.

What's the cheapest way for a student to move back home?

What's the cheapest way for a student to move back home?
Ok so, I go to college down in South Carolina, but Pennsylvania (Philadelphia) is my home. I want to transfer school to go back up to PA. The problem is, my parents aren't very supportive of me transferring (or anything else that relates to me or anything I do =/ ) So there's no way they'd make an 11 hour drive to pick me and all of my stuff up. And I don't drive. I came down here with 2 HEAVY suitcases full of pretty much just clothes. But now I have a lot more stuff...like housewares, more clothes, and appliances. (I live in an apt) What's the best way for a broke college student to get all of their belongings back home? And please be serious. I will give someone the points they deserve (according to their answer)

Post an ad on the student website, on the student message board, etc., at your school. It is very likely that you'll find someone who is going back north at the end of school or during Spring Break and is willing to share a ride with you. They may be interested in sharing the cost of a U-Haul, too. Let it be known that you need a ride and will share in the cost of gasoline. It might be worthwhile to try selling your excess stuff to another student who's coming on campus for the Summer Session, by the way. Then you could look into bus fare. It's cheap to ship a couple of suitcases by bus service. Selling the other stuff will more than pay for the bus ticket. Again, post your ad on the student message board.

try finding a job that will be more open to you being transgender. a bar or night club or even a gay bar. odd I know but sometimes you have to do what you have to do. legaly people can NOT fire you cause of being transgender, BUT that does not mean they will not find another reason to do it..;

There are companies out there that do not discriminate against transgenders. I have enclosed two sites that you can go to in order to look up various jobs. Just because you are transgender does not mean you can only get work in a gay bar as the first answer said. You can do anything you want just put your mind to it and don't let people make you feel bad. Good Luck!!

It will probably take more than 4 years with a low paying job like being a receptionist to pay for therapy and surgeries and medicines. I realize you are probably impatient, I know I was,but you may do better by going to a accepting/smart college and many of them are now a days. Many colleges offer reduced price therapy sessions. Many colleges offer a reduced price medical services plan You CAN dramatically enhance your long term earnings skills by going to college and studying for a good career, to the tune of several milliion dollars over your lifetime. AND there is a pretty decent chance that you can find good support and guidance in your transition at a good college. Please do seriously consider it ,please. I didn't and suffered Work hard, live well, become who you are. college can help.

i need help on how to start my dream?

i need help on how to start my dream?
hey, i would love to become an actress, but am not sure how to start. i've been told that i'd be good at it and one time while getting my school picture taken the photographer said my name sounds like a good actress name. (sry not to sound cocky, i hate ppl like that, but its true). thing is i live near philadelphia, pennsylvania, not california, so how can I start acting? I was wondering if anyone has some tips on how to become a good actress/ find an agent/ find roles. i was also wondering if anyone could tell me what goes on during auditions/ what to wear to them/ etc. thanks so much! :D

you can search online for acting agencies near your area and you MUST take headshots. since if you were to go to an audition they may need for you to show them your headshots. you also need a resume saying your past roles, if any. you might also try to take acting clasees, althoug it is not necessary. during an auditon the director or the person in charge will give you a script and ask you to read a couple of lines in front of them at that moment.


2
How do you start acting? Simple: You just start. Take classes, go to auditions, read plays to learn about standard repertoire, create a resume, get headshots taken, and observe other actors at auditions to learn how [and how NOT] to conduct yourself during the audition process. There are tons of theatres there in Pennsylvania. Contact them and get on their audition mailing lists. Do the research to find out which ones are major regional theatre -- I could tell you, but the research work will be beneficial for you -- and contact their education departments to find out what sort of classes they offer. Alternatively, network with other actors in town and get some names of reputable acting teachers and/or coaches -- and always remember that someone telling you that their teacher is "amazing" does NOT automatically mean it's true. Auditions for non-musicals generally consist of you doing one or two monologues that total three minutes or less -- always aim for LESS, as the auditors always appreciate people who don't use their whole time allotment. You should have at least four monologues ready to go at all times -- two comedic [a contemporary and a classical], and two dramatic [modern and classic as well]. Do NOT ever do Shakespeare unless you are actually auditioning for a Shakespeare production. For musicals, you'll sing a song that shows off your voice, and they'll generally want only 30-60 seconds. However, Equity members generally get 3-5 minutes at regional theatres -- but again, the wise actor will not be greedy by taking the entire offered time. Never pay to audition, and never hook up with an agent who requires any upfront costs other than new headshots -- and in the case of headshots, be wary of any agent giving you only one photographer's name. Pick up a copy of the book "Audition" by Michael Shurtleff, and make it your bible -- read it once, immediately read it AGAIN and take notes, and then read it at least once per year thereafter. Even 30+ years after its publication, the wisdom and practical advice in it is still relevant. Don't ever become a diva. The tabloids [and the public] love to perversely glamorize egomaniacal behavior, but the reality is that producers and directors eschew working with "problem child" actors. The ONLY thing of true worth that any artist has is their reputation -- how reliable they are, how they treat others, etc etc -- so always strive to be an outstanding colleague. I've gotten several projects wherein the casting choice was down to me and one other person, and the producers went with me because they know I'm a pleasure to work with. There are many more things to learn, but it would take too long to write them all here -- so you need to go out there and discover them for yourself. :-) Best of luck.

My first bit of advice is, don't! It is a very hard road, full of rejection. Years of study: acting; voice lessons - singing and speaking; movement; dance; and on and on. 97% of professional actors are unemployed at any given time. When you hear of actors being discovered easily (they haven't studied, they haven't gone to cattle calls everyday for years, etc.), those cases are extremely rare. Like being struck by lightning. Still want to do it? Good. You have to want it more than anything else in the whole world. It's not just something you want to do 'maybe", but something you MUST do, it is essential to your core. Let's assume you wan't to be a serious actress. You don't specify your age so I assume you are in high school of Jr. High. Take any drama courses that are offered, even if they are not acting classes. Understanding Shakespeare & American Playwrights are examples of courses that would be beneficial. Try out for all school productions. Try out for the Talent show. Experience in auditioning is invaluable. Get into the school choir. Take any singing and dancing courses offered. Read the Stanislovski books, "Building a Character", etc.Pick a University, College, Community College with a good Theatre Arts and Acting program. Yale and Julliard are top of the line, but most schools have a program. Talk to your guidance counselor. Check out community theatres or professional theatre's in your area and start auditioning. You'll need resume pictures and a resume for this. Call a local talent agency and ask the who they recommend. More on local talent agencies later. You'll learn more from doing than studying about it. After school or when you think your ready for it, its off to N.Y.C. or Los Angeles. You'll need resume' pictures (very expensive) and a place to live (very, very expensive) once you get there. Start making the rounds (going to every audition and open call you find out about). Go knock on agent's doors and, if they won't see you, go back the next day and the next until they do. You'll start to get little things here and there. Keep plugging away like this for the rest of your life and you might make a nice career for yourself, and if your very, very lucky (it helps to be really good too, but this is sometimes not required) you might become a "star" and rich. Hey, I like Philadelphia. I did a film there once. If you are talking about getting an agent there for local work, it's not so difficult. First of all, do all the things mentioned above in terms of training, getting experience. Google Talent Agencies in Philadelphia and call them and ask about how to be represented by them. Again, you'll need resume' pics for this. They'll tell you what they require. If they want to charge you anything - to be in their book, for example - make sure they are a reputable and important agency. Call a couple of independant Casting agents (I'm sure you will find a few in Phillly, look in the phone book, google, or ask around) and ask them if the agency is legimate or what are the best agencies. While you've got them on the phone thell them about yourself and ask how you can be considered for their upcoming projects. Ask everybody about everybody - like who do they recommend as a acting resume' photographer - and you'll learn alot really fast. Of course with local agencies, this will be television commercials, industrial films (training or motivational films for a particular company) and modeling. Acting for a camera is much more subtle than acting on stage. You still need the same inner dialogue (the things the character is thinking about inside as he speaks) but toned way down. That's enough for now. If you do these things, your other questions will answer themselves. You'll make friend and you'll share experiences and knowledge. Break a leg!

all real agents are free. and only get 10-20 % of the money you make doin commercials etc. if some1 says you ahve to pay them for them to be your agent they their a scam! and you need to bget experience cause it will look great on your resume example: acting classes singing classes plays(major roles wouild look great) and go to actinginfo.blogspot.com for auditions hope i helped and talentagents.blogspot.com for agents.

Are there any haunted insane asylums in and around Pennsylvania?

Are there any haunted insane asylums in and around Pennsylvania?
Ok, I'm planning a trip for my senior year in high school where me and my friends will travel around and visit some paranormal locations. Our particular interest is prisons, hospitals, and asylums. The problem is, I only know of two good locations, Pennhurst State School and Byberry Mental Hospital both in Philadelphia, PA. Other than those, I have no idea where to look so I can get an idea. Please give me some names or links if they have websites. And please be serious about it...I don't want any answers from smart mouths trying to be funny.

Scientists and professors prove that the Qur'an is the word of God.?

Scientists and professors prove that the Qur'an is the word of God.?
There is a lot of evidence especially scientific. He is some things that non muslim scientist and professors have said about the Qur'an. 1-Dr. William W. Hay is a well-known marine scientist. He is Professor of Geological Sciences at the University of Colorado, Boulder, Colorado, USA. He was formerly the Dean of the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science at the University of Miami, Miami, Florida, USA. After a discussion with Professor Hay about the Quran’s mention of recently discovered facts on seas, he said: “I find it very interesting that this sort of information is in the ancient scriptures of the Holy Quran, and I have no way of knowing where they would come from, but I think it is extremely interesting that they are there and that this work is going on to discover it, the meaning of some of the passages.” And when he was asked about the source of the Quran, he replied: “Well, I would think it must be the divine being.” 2-Dr. Gerald C. Goeringer is Course Director and Associate Professor of Medical Embryology at the Department of Cell Biology, School of Medicine, Georgetown University, Washington, DC, USA. “In a relatively few aayahs (Quranic verses) is contained a rather comprehensive description of human development from the time of commingling of the gametes through organogenesis. No such distinct and complete record of human development, such as classification, terminology, and description, existed previously. In most, if not all, instances, this description antedates by many centuries the recording of the various stages of human embryonic and fetal development recorded in the traditional scientific literature.” 3-Dr. Yoshihide Kozai is Professor Emeritus at Tokyo University, Hongo, Tokyo, Japan, and was the Director of the National Astronomical Observatory, Mitaka, Tokyo, Japan. He said: “I am very much impressed by finding true astronomical facts in [the] Quran, and for us the modern astronomers have been studying very small pieces of the universe. We’ve concentrated our efforts for understanding of [a] very small part. Because by using telescopes, we can see only very few parts [of] the sky without thinking [about the] whole universe. So, by reading [the] Quran and by answering to the questions, I think I can find my future way for investigation of the universe.” 4-Dr. E. Marshall Johnson is Professor Emeritus of Anatomy and Developmental Biology at Thomas Jefferson University, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. There, for 22 years he was Professor of Anatomy, the Chairman of the Department of Anatomy, and the Director of the Daniel Baugh Institute. He was also the President of the Teratology Society. He has authored more than 200 publications. “Summary: The Quran describes not only the development of external form, but emphasizes also the internal stages, the stages inside the embryo, of its creation and development, emphasizing major events recognized by contemporary science.” Also he said: “As a scientist, I can only deal with things which I can specifically see. I can understand embryology and developmental biology. I can understand the words that are translated to me from the Quran. As I gave the example before, if I were to transpose myself into that era, knowing what I knew today and describing things, I could not describe the things which were described. I see no evidence for the fact to refute the concept that this individual, Muhammad, had to be developing this information from some place. So I see nothing here in conflict with the concept that divine intervention was involved in what he was able to write. 5-Dr. Joe Leigh Simpson is the Chairman of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology, and Professor of Molecular and Human Genetics at the Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas, USA. Formerly, he was Professor of Ob-Gyn and the Chairman of the Department of Ob-Gyn at the University of Tennessee, Memphis, Tennessee, USA. He was also the President of the American Fertility Society. He has received many awards, including the Association of Professors of Obstetrics and Gynecology Public Recognition Award in 1992. Professor Simpson studied the following two sayings of the Prophet Muhammad : {In every one of you, all components of your creation are collected together in your mother’s womb by forty days...}2 {If forty-two nights have passed over the embryo, God sends an angel to it, who shapes it and creates its hearing, vision, skin, flesh, and bones....}3 He studied these two sayings of the Prophet Muhammad extensively, noting that the first forty days constitute a clearly distinguishable stage of embryo-genesis. He was particularly impressed by the absolute precision and accuracy of those sayings of the Prophet Muhammad . Then, during one conference, he gave the following opinion: “So that the two hadeeths (the sayings of the Prophet Muhammad ) that have been noted provide us Whats a lie? The scientists are lying?

Just forget them, you cant make them believe They are ignorant about our religion, allah has contineously told us that in the quran. They just think the quran is ridiculous and will deny every single compliment or evidence brought them. So no point bothering with them We allready know that the quran and hadith far outknowledges science and the most recent discoveries made has been given to us in the quran; something that could not be proved in the past and still the quran contains things that have yet not been discovered by scientists e.g. humans being made by clay There are hundreds of more scientists who aknowledge the quran, aspired by it also in their researches. The Ummah today is not strong enough one day muslim scientists will again out perform the non-muslims just like muslims outcompeted them in the past in caligraphy, Art, Maths ( Geonometry Numeracy Algebra) science and many more. Its only been since the late 18th and 19th century they have outperformed in discoveries and at this that time islam was extremely weak in Ummah even more so than today E.g. Civil war in Spain
