Orthopedists are the highest-paid doctors, according to new research from Medscape which lists the average annual salaries for over 25 medical specialties.

If you’re studying medicine and yet to decide about which field you’d like to specialize in, the $489,000 orthopedic physicians earn every year might be enough to tempt you. Orthopedists – doctors who treat bone and muscle problems – make over twice as much money per year as pediatricians, the lowest-paid group of doctors included in Medscape’s Physician Compensation Report.

Want to know how much your chosen specialism earns? Check the table below for a complete rundown.

Medicine students will be delighted to learn these figures are likely to rise even higher by the time they graduate. Annual income for doctors has increased steadily over recent years, with the biggest increases occurring in the fields of plastic surgery and allergies. Other specialties, such as pediatrics and oncology, have seen little wage growth, although medicine students interested in these fields can at least take comfort from the fact they’ll be out-earning most graduates on other degree courses.

Now just to decide what you'll spend all that money on.

英国议会在最后一刻通过了一项法案，允许英国大学每年增加学费，直到2020年。

上周四，议会通过了《高等教育和研究法案》，该法案将导致英国本国和欧盟的学费在2017年秋季起上涨至9250英镑。

根据这项法规，学费原本打算根据大学能够证明的高质量教学水平而增加，但这一政策将于2020年之前不会实施。在那之前，已经选择接受他们的教学质量审查的大多数大学将能够按照通货膨胀调整学费。

学生债务增加

2018/19学年的本国/欧盟学费尚未公布，但预计会达到9500英镑左右。最近确认，从2018/19学年开始在英国大学就读的欧盟学生将继续支付与本国学生相同的学费，同时有资格获得相同的贷款和助学金。

学费的增加可能会让学生感到担忧，他们已经面临着学费贷款利率从4.6%上升到6.1%的急剧上涨，但这一变化不会影响学生每月还款金额，因为这是基于收入的。

尽管不断增长的债务可能令人不安，但至少许多学生可以从这一事实中获得安慰，即根据目前的规定，他们不太可能在毕业后的30年内偿还所有贷款（或者对于在2012年之前贷款的学生来说，是25年）。

这一消息是在英国于6月8日举行的突发大选之前发布的。

这个周末标志着唐纳德·特朗普总统上任100天了。这并不是本周最疯狂的新闻。请继续阅读我们的每周回顾，充满了外星人、飞行汽车和名为史蒂夫的神秘光芒。

百天任内 是的，已经有那么长时间了。自弗兰克林·D·罗斯福以来，100天一直是评判美国总统的任意标志，如果你是唐纳德·特朗普，情况不容乐观。他以现代总统中最低的支持率达到这一标志，未能废除和替代奥巴马医改法案，美墨边境上仍没有漂亮的大墙。

外星人日 特朗普的新反移民热线在周三繁忙起来，因为美国各地的人们打电话报告外星人...UFO类型的外星人。VOICE（移民犯罪受害者参与）计划鼓励人们打电话举报移民犯罪，但批评者谴责它不公平地污名化非白人移民并赋予种族主义合法性。

飞翔起来 如果你发现新闻有点太多，也许你想尝试自己的飞行汽车，Kitty Hawk，由谷歌联合创始人拉里·佩奇支持，本周发布了他们的飞行汽车的首个实际操作视频，在加利福尼亚的一片湖面上滑翔。这款“全电动飞行器”设计用于在淡水上运行，不需要飞行员执照，所以你显然可以在几分钟内学会驾驶它。零售版本将于年底上市。Kitty Hawk并不是唯一一个加入飞行汽车行列的公司，因为优步计划与飞机制造商合作，到2020年创建并测试飞行汽车系统。

开创性广告 通常，广告只有在由约翰·刘易斯制作并且是圣诞季节时才会触动我们的心弦，但这一次，一则出自咳嗽药品品牌Vicks的意想不到的广告让我们感动不已。这则印度广告讲述了跨性别活动家瓜里·萨万特的真实故事，在YouTube上吸引了940万次观看。在广告中，萨万特的养女说：“妈妈在生活中面对了很多问题。我的公民课教科书说每个人都有同样的基本权利。那么为什么我的妈妈被剥夺了这些权利呢？这就是为什么我不想成为医生，我要成为律师，为了我妈妈。” *抹泪*

认识史蒂夫 加拿大的一群极光摄影师发现了天空中一种新类型的光芒，并自然而然地将其命名为史蒂夫。这种令人惊艳的鲜艳紫色光芒最初是去年在艾伯塔极光追逐者Facebook小组的相册中拍摄的，由加拿大卡尔加里大学的研究员埃里克·多诺万注意到。一些小组成员认为这种现象是

What images come to your mind when you hear about London? The Royal Family? Big Ben? Sherlock Holmes? Rain? While some of these might be true for tourists (yes, 221B Baker Street really exists), life as a student in London is quite different.

Coming here from abroad, you are caught between two worlds, half a local and half a tourist. This unique position does leave you well-placed to make certain observations about life in London though, particularly once you realize not everything you heard about the city before getting here is entirely true. Here are a few of the myths you’ll soon stop believing.

London has little green space

London might feel like it’s covered in buildings, roads and ongoing construction, but it’s actually a very green city. There are an immense variety of parks, large and small, well-maintained and wild, which occupy a third of the city in total. Spending time in them is a great alternative to the hustle and bustle of the rest of the city, and a fantastic way to restore your energy at lunchtime.

University life is full of assignments, projects, papers and exams

Before starting university in London, I thought I’d have coursework every week, midterm projects, exams, final exams, more exams etc. In reality, and to my surprise, most of my modules were assessed entirely upon a single essay. While the number of assignments will vary from uni to uni and depending upon your course, overall you should find that academic life in London is largely centered around independent study.

I had very few contact hours with my lecturers, and was surprised to be in a looser academic structure than you would perhaps see in US colleges or in the group study environments at Nordic universities. This doesn’t mean that studying in the UK is easier or less challenging though. On the contrary, you’ll find yourself in an engaging, intellectually challenging environment that requires you to work hard all the way through to your finals. But don’t worry: you’ll have plenty of spare time to fit in sports, leisure and pleasure.

British people are reserved and cold

Firstly, there’s no such thing as a typical British character, as the country’s so diverse. Despite this, there’s an assumption that all British people are cold and uncaring, when really most people tend to be helpful, easy-going and cheerful. Yes, they might show less emotion than other cultures (unless they’re watching sport at the pub) but people are in general extremely polite.

Of course, their restrained nature can be confusing sometimes. The word “interesting” can mean anything from signifying something is actually really interesting to suggesting someone is being really stupid. Also, don’t be rude or try to jump in a queue. British people may be very tolerant but they have their limits.

British food is tasteless and plain

OK, so the UK might not have a national cuisine (unless fish and chips counts), but London is so diverse that it’s cooking and cuisines are amazing. The city has absorbed culinary traditions from multiple cultures, which means you can find almost all the foods in the world. Just be aware that, according to the NHS, the UK is the most obese country in Western Europe, so remember to diet while you’re enjoying all the amazing, diverse food on offer.

And, finally, the most common myth: it rains a lot in London

Time to be surprised, because it actually doesn’t. The picture in your head of a rainy, gloomy city which never gets any sun isn’t true. In fact, according to the Met Office, the average rainfall in London (23 inches per year) is less than Milan (39 inches), Zurich (42), New York (47) or Miami (60).

Yes, the north of the UK is still quite grey and miserable, but in London you’re more likely to find the weather constantly changes. I’m not joking, it changes literally every minute. It’s like the sun, the rain, the wind, the snow and the clouds are all constantly fighting against each other for the privilege to be in the sky above London. Maybe that’s why the weather is such a popular subject of conversation here. There’s definitely lots to discuss.

越来越多的年轻人选择出国留学作为成功事业的起点。每年成千上万的学生走上新的路，在外国留学迎接新挑战。多年来，我一直在学术交流方面提供帮助和建议，并制定了四个简单的步骤，相信这些步骤可以确保你为出国长途旅行做好充分的准备。

出发前请朋友和家人帮助您设定一些目标

via GIPHY

你一定不会想自己的学术交流成为无聊的经历，因此请为自己的想法和建议问问看周围的人 – 你的同学，朋友，导师和讲师 -如何最好地实现自己的目标。

例如，我们有一群学生从哈萨克斯坦到香港呆了一个学期，他们已经共同制定了旅行的目的和目标。通过这样做，他们制定了一份完整的待办事项清单，并在离开香港之前安排了比原本可能要做的更多的事情。

别忘了关注原籍学校的最新消息

via GIPHY

你有可能犯的最大的错误之一就是忘记了几个月后你将不得不回你的母校。没有你，许多的课程还是会照样继续前进，并且新的课程也会开始。因此，与您母校保持沟通联系真的很重要。回去之前，你应该在你的本地大学检查所有截止日期以获取赠款，实习和奖学金机会，并关注您感兴趣的任何体育赛事或其他比赛。

与别人分享你学到的东西

via GIPHY

跟别人分享你的经验可以建立人脉。与你的母校讲师交谈–也许他们会很乐意将您所经历的事情整合到他们的课堂计划中，或者将你用作案例研究。或者你可以制作出有用的病毒式博客，从而大受欢迎–这样子的话你所在的大学所在的社团可以从更多地了解您的来历中受益。无论如何，你要想办法与向他们学习的人分享您的经验。

充满活力并充分融入新环境

via GIPHY

搬到新的地方从来都不是一件容易的事，但是只要充满活力并充分利用每一个机会，您就会有成功的机会。跟体育俱乐部和社团进行沟通，以找到志趣相投的人。查看大学日历上可以参加的活动然后去认识一些新的朋友。带着冒险精神去探索新的习俗，文化和美食。请记住：你不会再有这个出国留学的机会，所以连一分钟都不要浪费。

The latest QS Distance Online MBA Rankings was published on our sister site TopMBA.com this week, ranking the best online MBA courses available in the world.

Although 75% of institutions in this year’s ranking are based in either the UK or US, it’s Spain’s IE Business School which has been crowned the world’s best provider of online MBA teaching, displacing last year’s champion Warwick Business School. Third place went to Indiana University’s Kelley School of Business in the US.

This year’s ranking features 10 new entries, two of which jump straight into the top 10 (Thunderbird School of Global Management in sixth and Temple University’s Fox School of Business in eighth). These new arrivals point to the increased range of reputable options for students looking to study an online MBA course.

While some rise, others fall, and this year’s ranking was bad news for a few institutions which have slipped since last year. The Open University Business School, Aberdeen Business School and the University of Texas at Dallas’ Naveen Jindal School of Management have all fallen out of the top 10, the latter from seventh to 22^nd.

Average tuition across the 40 programs included in this year’s ranking is $39,106, although the average for US-only courses is nearly $10,000 higher ($48,784).

The results of the QS Distance Online MBA Rankings 2017 are based on an analysis of six broad aspects of a program, including its reputation for employability, the profile of its participants and its establishment in the online education market.
