Hello Everyone! =)
I've always wanted to be a Doctor, but I am 24 and have two kids now so I think this is impossible. So I'm sorta giving up my dream ;-( But I LOVE the medical field. SO I was Thinking about becoming a Physicians Assistant or a Registered Nurse. I wanted to know what is better? As far as pay, finding jobs, tasks, best schools? And How long it takes? PLEASE HELP ME. I need AS MANY RESPONSES AS POSSIBLE to help me decide. I am going to try and register for school for spring. =) Thank you all in advance.

I live in the San Jose area of California, and I want to volunteer with a literacy center that helps teach English to people. After deciding that I should spend more time volunteering, I believe that I can put my fluency in English and Spanish to use if I help teach English to non-native speakers.

I'm 16 years old, so I can get a job doing this if volunteering is not an option.

Does anyone know of any centers like this in the San Jose area of California?

This remarkable book contains over 120 sayings from the founders of modern physics paired with parallel sayings from the seminal works of Buddhist, Hindu and Taoist contemplatives. Einstein and Buddha is a fascinating collection of quotes that challenges us to think deeper about the relationship between modern physics and mystical insight. Although these two ways of understanding and investigating reality have significant differences, the parallels suggest that they share a mysterious and profound connection.
The parallel sayings are organized by theme and touch upon the nature of matter and energy, the relationship between subject and object, the understanding of time and space, the importance of direct experience, the role of paradox and contradiction in our understanding, the limits of language in describing reality, and the interdependence of all created things. Each section is accompanied by a brief introduction to how these concepts relate to the scientific and spiritual ways of knowing. On each page is an insightful quote from an eminent physicist such as Albert Einstein, Niels Bohr, Erwin Schrödinger, Werner Heisenberg, or David Bohm, together with a surprisingly similar statement from a renown authority of Eastern religion such as the Buddha, Chaung Tzu, the Upanishads, D. T. Suzuki, or the Dalai Lama.

Sample parallels from the book EINSTEIN BUDDHA
According to general relativity, the concept of space detached from any physical content does not exist.
-Einstein If there is only empty space, with no suns nor planets in it, then space loses its substantiality.
-Buddha
Physical concepts are free creations of the human mind, and are not, however it may seem, uniquely determined by the external world.
-Einstein All such notions as causation, succession, atoms, primary elements...are all figments of the imagination and manifestations of the mind.
-Buddha
Time and again the passion for understanding has led to the illusion that man is able to comprehend the objective world rationally by pure thought without any empirical foundations—in short, by metaphysics.
-Einstein By becoming attached to names and forms, not realising that they have no more basis than the activities of the mind itself, error rises…and the way to emancipation is blocked.
-Buddha
In our thinking...we attribute to this concept of the bodily object a significance, which is to high degree independent of the sense impression which originally gives rise to it. This is what we mean when we attribute to the bodily object "a real existence." ...By means of such concepts and mental relations between them, we are able to orient ourselves in the labyrinth of sense impressions. These notions and relations...appear to us as stronger and more unalterable than the individual sense experience itself, the character of which as anything other than the result of an illusion or hallucination is never completely guaranteed.
-Einstein I teach that the multitudinousness of objects have no reality in themselves but are only seen of the mind and, therefore, are of the nature of maya and a dream. ...It is true that in one sense they are seen and discriminated by the senses as individualized objects; but in another sense, because of the absence of any characteristic marks of self-nature, they are not seen but are only imagined. In one sense they are graspable, but in another sense, they are not graspable.
-Buddha
The belief in an external world independent of the perceiving subject is the basis of all natural science. Since, however, sense perception only gives information of this external world or of "physical reality" indirectly, we can only grasp the latter by speculative means. It follows from this that our notions of physical reality can never be final. We must always be ready to change these notions—that is to say, the axiomatic basis of physics—in order to do justice to perceived facts in the most perfect way logically.
-Einstein While the Tathagata, in his teaching, constantly makes use of conceptions and ideas about them, disciples should keep in mind the unreality of all such conceptions and ideas. They should recall that the Tathagata, in making use of them in explaining the Dharma always uses them in the semblance of a raft that is of use only to cross a river. As the raft is of no further use after the river is crossed, it should be discarded. So these arbitrary conceptions of things and about things should be wholly given up as one attains enlightenment.
-Buddha

We all know that every culture has formed some system of mathematics. However, my question is: which cultures (including ancient cultures) have MOST SIGNIFICANTLY contributed to the development of MODERN MATHEMATICS? List a few, please? (I must write an essay for a mathematics course & am trying to tone it down to the main points in structuring an outline.) Thanks in advance!

Pro life, no way! Not in all circumstances. There are so many freaks out there having babies that shouldn't. It makes me wonder why a license hasn't been bought out whereby you have to sit a mental health test etc before you can have a baby. For f**k sake. Read it only if you are prepared to feel very disgusted afterwards.
