How does someone from england become a Forensic Pathologist in america?

admin — Tue, 02 Aug 2011 09:16:20 +0000

After gaining a medicine degree in England I want to go over to america for training in pathology, what would I have to pass (apart from medical finals) and how would I go about training in america?

You would also have to pass the FMCG exam before you could do a residency. Don’t know how being a FMCG works with the "Match Day" system used to fill residencies in the US.

You might want to take a look at the websites of some training hospital you might be interested in, to see what their requirements are for FMCG’s. Or, do a search on "foreign medical college graduates" or "residency programs in pathology, US" or something like that. You may have to do a general medicine internship or residency before specializing in pathology – I don’t know. The website aamc.org may have info that would be helpful.

How did everyone in England start speaking English? How did everyone in France start speaking French?

admin — Fri, 29 Jul 2011 10:31:31 +0000

this question could be for any country. back in the day most people lived in villages, so how did they all adapt and speak the same language? were there many languages in England, France, etc. before English and French?

English came to Britain in the form of Old English around the fifth century AD. The traditional account is that there was a great invasion of Angles and Saxons, but more likely there was a more gradual immigration of those and many other groups besides. Either way, they became the military ruling and landholding elite over most of what is now England. The languages that were spoken there before, something like Welsh Gaelic and some Latin, pretty much disappeared except in Wales and Cornwall; apparently people found it easiest to learn to speak the language of the rulers and gradually lost their native language. There were regional dialects of Old English but the ruling class moved around enough, marrying their daughters to each other etc., that it pretty much held together as a single language. After the ninth century, the house of Wessex ruled the whole country so there was that much more momentum for common use of a single Old English dialect. For a while after the Norman Conquest of 1066, commoners spoke English and the nobles spoke French, but they blended together (especially after the kings lost their French lands around 1200) into Middle English, which in turn evolved into Modern English.

In what is now France, you had the legacy of Roman Gaul. By 500 AD or so, this had been under Roman rule for centuries and practically everyone spoke "vulgar" Latin. Frankish immigrants brought their own Germanic language with them, as did Visigoths in Aquitaine, Burgundians in Burgundy, etc. However, although these "barbarians" also formed a powerful military ruling class, the old Roman provincials were stronger here than in Britain so the rulers found it more convenient to learn their subjects’ language than vice versa. Still, their Germanic dialects influenced how it was pronounced; there is a decided tendency to slur those crisp Roman consonants (Latin "rex" becomes French "roi," for instance) and you can hear Germanic "umlaut" vowels in French a lot. Vulgar Latin turned into "Romance" (in other words, "Roman-ish") and gradually into French.

Even then, regional Romance dialects in France were much more different than medieval English dialects. There was a great divide between the "langue d’oc" in the south and the "langue d’oil" in the north, and Provencal was hardly any closer to northern French than Spanish was. When medieval writers spoke of "nations" (thinking largely of language), they saw the "French" as a quite separate group from the Aquitanians, Burgundians, Poitevins, Normans, etc. It was really the spread of print media and of more intensely centralized government administration in the modern era that gradually drove acceptance of northern, Parisian French as somehow "standard."

How come England is the only country in the UK that consistently has good players?

admin — Wed, 29 Jun 2011 23:15:38 +0000

Why do the likes of scotland,wales and northern ireland not produce as much good players as England, these countries are located close to eachother (even ireland is an example) but why is it only england that produces the MANY world class players. Im not saying the other countries dont have good players but they dont produce many.
We do have world class players, its just the fact that there always on the booze and most of them dont give a shit about international football.

when did england last win anything? I can count about 2 world class players in the international first 11 at most

How would a england choose their members for the world cup team?

admin — Sat, 04 Jun 2011 03:20:53 +0000

Are they going to choose the best soccer players in England or just the football club that wins the premier league?

John

They will select the best individual players that they can get. The only problem at this time of the year, that many of the players go in to have elective surgeries to repair damage done during the season. But, most of them will be available.

How does the education system in England work? Like what is college and university?

admin — Tue, 17 May 2011 02:17:35 +0000

My friends and I are Australian and want to finish school here, then take higher education to England. What is the difference between college and university in England and how does it work??? Any answer would be most appreciated!

College is where you go after secondary school. There are a number of types, including 6th Form (for general academic subjects – like an extension of secondary school). There are also Tech Colleges and Art colleges where you can do more specializes courses like BTEC (not degrees). The main qualification gained at colleges are A Levels.

After 2/3 (normally 2) years of college you can go to University. This is normally for 3 years, but there are exceptions. Some courses have a year in industry, or a year studying abroad, leading to a 4 year course. Other are longer versions of courses, e.g. 4 year MMath instead of regular maths which takes 3 years. Medecine takes longer, too.

That’s basically it.

How does one become a citizen of England?

admin — Wed, 11 May 2011 21:34:22 +0000

I am hoping to move to England. My career path would be that of a history teacher and it seems that England has a better job market than here(America). How would I go about becoming an English citizen? I am asking on the UK answers because I figured more English people would see it. Thanks for the help guys.

There is no such thing as an "English citizen"! The word is British citizen. The UK is composed of 4 parts Scotland,Wales,Northern Ireland and England itself. One must come and live in one of those and in 5 years apply for citizenship if you wish. Dont give up your US citizenship!!

What is the cheapest way to get from England to Europe?

admin — Wed, 20 Apr 2011 03:36:19 +0000

I am planning on buying an inter-railing ticket that will allow me to travel europe however it does not allow me to travel from england to continental europe. Does anyone know the cheapest way to get from England to anywhere in Europe or know of a random cheap flight generator that does not require me to enter a destination?

I often use Skyscanner for searches like that. http://www.skyscanner.com/
There are more search sites, google can help you to find them.

With most you can search for an airport, a city, a country or even a bigger area.
And for just one day, a week, a month or even the whole year. Of course, when you have all set to a big area/time, you will get so many results that they do not work anymore.

I would look for one airport near you and a random country in the east of Europe. Like Czech republic or Poland. Those tickets are often way cheaper than you would pay from your home town to the ferry to the continent. And the Eurostar, while fun, is not cheap and the reduction you get from having an InterRail pass is not much.

The site of the man in seat sixty-one can be very helpful for a travel like you plan to do, specially the ‘rail passes’ page. But also the info on the different countries.

And very useful is the German rail planner (also available in English) http://reiseauskunft.bahn.de/bin/query.exe/en?newrequest=yes&protocol=http:&

How did pollution in England during the Industrial Revolution affect the survival of the peppered moth?

admin — Mon, 18 Apr 2011 03:33:15 +0000

How did pollution in England during the Industrial Revolution affect the survival AND evolution of the peppered moth?

The evolution of the peppered moth over the last two hundred years has been studied in detail. Originally, the vast majority of peppered moths had light colouration, which effectively camouflaged them against the light-coloured trees and lichens which they rested upon. However, because of widespread pollution during the Industrial Revolution in England, many of the lichens died out, and The trees that peppered moths rested on became blackened by soot, causing most of the light-coloured moths, or typica, to die off from predation. At the same time, the dark-coloured, or melanic, moths, carbonaria, flourished because of their ability to hide on the darkened trees.

Since then, with improved environmental standards, light-coloured peppered moths have again become common, but the dramatic change in the peppered moth’s population has remained a subject of much interest and study, and has led to the coining of the term industrial melanism to refer to the genetic darkening of species in response to pollutants. As a result of this relatively simple and easy-to-understand circumstances of the adaptation, the peppered moth has become a common example used in explaining or demonstrating .

Who can I contact in England to learn more about the Sorbian people?

admin — Mon, 07 Feb 2011 11:33:56 +0000

I am talking about the Sorbs, not the Serbs. Just to clarify. I am planning to write a book about different language minorities in various parts of Europe and would like to contact a Sorbian Institution of some kind here in England, if any exists.
The Sorbs are also knows as the Wends and the Lusatians. The language they speak is Sorbian (also called Wendish).
Can anyone help me? Thanks.

You probably won’t find any outside of Germany because their numbers are so limited that any immigrants would probably not be in a large enough group to set of a society or community.
