Article: As you are going through high school, make sure that you are taking the subjects that are required for entry to medical schools in the UK. Biology, physics, chemistry, or maths are all ideal options. Talk to your school career advisor for guidance on what subjects to take. Each medical school has slightly different requirements. For example, the University of Bristol requires chemistry and one other science subject at A level, whereas the University of East Anglia requires biology, and chemistry or physics. If you haven't taken the right subjects during your school years, don't worry! Although it would give you an advantage, some universities offer courses with an extra year to get students up to speed in science and maths. Having health or care experience is considered a valuable asset on many medical school application forms. Contact your local nursing home, hospital, or GP practice, and enquire about gaining work experience. While paid positions are possible, most will be volunteer roles. Work that is directly related to healthcare would be an advantage, however unrelated work such as cleaning or maintaining the grounds of a healthcare facility will show your commitment to the field. Some volunteer roles include being a tour guide at your local hospital, working at the information desk, and making deliveries around the hospital. Entry-level paid roles in healthcare are usually caregiver positions, where you help people with daily tasks in their own home. There are 33 different medical schools in the UK, all with different entry requirements, teaching styles, and courses offered. Medical schools offer 4 main types of programs, and these are standard entry medicine, graduate entry medicine, medicine with a preliminary year, and medicine with a gateway year. The entry requirements differ for each school. Standard entry medicine is 5-6 years long, and results in a bachelor's degree in medicine. This is open to students applying from school. Some universities that offer this program are the University of Birmingham, Cardiff University, the University of Manchester, and the University of Oxford. Graduate entry medicine is a program that is offered to students who already have achieved a bachelor's degree. Most universities require that this degree is health related, and that the student has achieved a minimum of a 2:1. This is a 4-5 year course. Universities that offer this program include the University of Cambridge, Newcastle University, and Swansea University. Medicine with a preliminary year is a 6 year course that is offered to students who achieved well at A level, but didn't take the necessary science subjects. This program requires students to have achieved 3 As at A level. Some universities that offer this course are Cardiff University, the University of Dundee, and Keele University. Medicine with a gateway year is an option for students who have a high ability and potential for medicine, but have had barriers in their personal circumstances such as being in the first generation of their family to apply to higher education, or their family is in receipt of a means-tested benefit. These programs are open only to UK students. The University of East Anglia, the University of Leicester, and the University of Southampton are all options for this program. The grade requirements for each medical school in the UK differ slightly. Although all require A level science subjects, some require A* grades, while others will accept As. Plan what medical schools you wish to apply for during the year. This will give you a good goal to aim for so that your grades are up to scratch.

Article: Keywords is Google's most powerful tool for website owners. It is a tool found within Google's AdSense website. For free, you're allowed to search and find what people are looking for most. For example, for your winery, search the term winery (applying any filters you think matter). Click on the Keyword ideas tab and it will tell you how often people are searching your term, what the competition is like, and suggest some alternatives that are also frequently searched. Look for the most popular keywords that are relevant to you and use them! Google Trends tells you specifically how interest changes in a topic over time. Search your term and look at the charts for months when you can expect a peak. Smart website owners will be able to guess why there's an increase and find a way to meet that need and set themselves apart. Businesses listed in Google Maps are displayed first when a user enters a regional search phrase. It's easy to add a listing; simply login to the Google account and fill out the online forms.

Article: There are several main varieties of snowshoe, with designs and traction suited for different activities. Think about how you plan to use your snowshoe, and look for an appropriate design: Recreational, trekking , or flat terrain snowshoes are designed for relatively flat terrain and prepared trails. They have some traction, but not much. Hiking or rugged terrain snowshoes are a step up in durability and traction, good for occasional off-trail hikes but not lengthy or excessively steep off-trail expeditions. Backcountry, climbing, or mountaineering snowshoes are good for camping trips and lengthy off-trail expeditions. Make sure the shoes have significant traction at both front and back if you plan on climbing steep slopes. Racing, running, or aerobic snowshoes are for running over tightly packed snow trails, and are too light weight to use off trail. The more weight you carry, the longer and wider your snowshoe needs to be to support you. Weigh yourself while you are dressed in your winter outfit and carrying your typical pack of gear. If the snowshoes have a labeled weight limit, use them to narrow down your options. Otherwise, use these general rules of thumb for the most common snowshoe sizes: Snowshoes sized 8 x 25 inches (20 x 64 cm) are usually suitable for weights between 120 and 180 pounds (5482 kg). Snowshoes sized 9 x 30 inches (23 x 76 cm) can support weights between 160 and 220 pounds (73100 kg). Snowshoes sized 10 x 36 inches (25 x 91 cm) are designed for weights above 200 pounds (91 kg). You may find two or three sizes of snowshoe that are appropriate for your weight. If you often travel through deep, powdery snow, go with a larger size for more support. If you prefer to stick to flattened trails or hard packed snow, select the smaller size for greater maneuverability. The binding that attaches the snowshoe to your boot should be a tight fit to keep you comfortable and steady during a hike. Besides the size of the shoe, there are two main factors that affect the binding: Fixed bindings stay under your foot as you step, allowing for a comfortable stride and an easier time stepping over obstacles. Pivoted bindings fall away from your foot as you step, which keeps your legs relatively free of snow and may make climbing easier. Snowshoes are usually labeled men's, women's, or youth, which may describe a different shape as well as a size. Try on snowshoes in multiple categories if you are having trouble finding a comfortable one. You won't usually get to choose the exact materials your snowshoe is built from, as the manufacturer selects materials it considers suitable for the snowshoe's intended purpose. However, if you're interested in deciphering product information, here are some tips to help you: Most modern frames are lightweight aluminum; if "powder-coated", it will pick up less snow but may suffer from unattractive paint chipping. Wooden frames are more traditional, but also more likely to break. An especially lightweight snowshoe for on-trail use might not have any frame. The "decking" material around the frame gives your snowshoe "flotation," or lift above the snow. This is typically a synthetic material, such as the flexible hypalon or the rigid composite plastic decking. Ask the manufacturer if you want to find out more about a specific material's characteristics.
