【推荐1】The Great Courses—Best for Lifelong Learners

The Great Courses, one of the best online course providers, is an online platform that can meet the demands of individuals who love to learn simply for joy and choose from 1,345 courses in a range of topics.

What We Like

●While most other online course providers concentrate on upskilling and improving career and salary prospects, this platform is more about sharing knowledge for the purpose of satisfying intellectual curiosity. Popular courses focus on subjects like cooking, painting, dog training, language, culture, literature, music, science, history, geography and more.

●Lessons are video-based, available by streaming through The Great Courses’ website or mobile app or on DVDs. Many lectures are also available as streaming audio makes it even easier for students to learn anytime and anywhere.

●The price of courses can range from around $20 to a few hundred dollars, but The Great Courses regularly offers discounts. The Great Courses also partners with Wondrium, a subscribed online learning platform, which gives students unlimited access to a library of courses for $12.50 per month.

What We Don’t Like

Students who’re seeking online learning to gain marketable, career-focused skills may need help in finding what they’re looking for through The Great Courses. This platform has no grades or certificates of completion. Lecture-based video lessons may not appeal to all learners, especially those who prefer mastering new skills through experiential learning or reading assignments.

What Students Are Saying

Users give the platform 3.8 stars on Trustpilot. “I’ve been enjoying courses from this company for the last ten years. Its courses have broadened my outlook on life, educated me and entertained me,” writes one student.

【推荐2】We all know your student loan will only go so far. So what can you do to save those pennies (便士) and eventually a pretty substantial amount in the long run? Here is some advice from L&S Editor Marianne Lampon.

FOOD

—Buy the supermarket’s Own Brand products: When it comes to items such as cheese, milk, and more, the Own Brand products can be bought much cheaper but without lowering the quality.

—Coupons (优惠券), coupons, coupons: It’s really worth hitting the Internet for some extra coupons, especially for meals out with a big group. Keep an eye on restaurants that offer a cheaper Set Menu or that do 2 for 1 deals on main courses.

STUDENT-ONLY OFFERS

—Fresher’s Fair: Say hello to free pens, bottle openers and a bunch of things you never knew you needed. Freshers get involved!

—Student discount in stores and online: Showing your University ID card will save you at least 10% with a lot of online or offline businesses. As a result, you’ll feel slightly less guilty about buying those new pair of Nike’s.

FASHION

The shift from summer to autumn can be a sad time, but it needn’t hurt your wallet!

—Accessories (配饰): Basically, wear your summer clothes with warm and comfortable accessories. How about those shorts? Just team them with a pair of tights and you’re good to go.

—Charity shops: The perfect way to stay on-trend and at a super affordable price.

So there it is! Sticking to some of these ideas will really help save some money in the long run, proving a little really does go a long way.

Upon arrival in Kunming, your Kunming tour guide will wait for you at the airport and help you to transfer to the hotel.

【推荐1】There is a school in my Manhattan neighbourhood that has been giving out free meals during the Covid-19 pandemic-and every time I walk past it the line seems longer. A community fridge recently showed up a couple of blocks away; it’s one of many that activists have fixed across the city to fight against growing food insecurity. Just around the corner there’s a young woman who has become a regular among the beggars I usually see in the area. She lost her job because of Covid-19.

It’s not all doom and gloom. While the poor are getting poorer, the 1% are making out like robbers. America’s 600-plus billionaires saw their wealth grow by more than $700bn in the first few months of the pandemic. During the same period, more than 50 million American workers lost their jobs. The US government has printed trillions of dollars in economic relief but many of the forgivable emergency loans for small businesses seem to have been taken by the super-rich. My local independent coffee shop has closed down, but Kanye West received a partially forgivable loan worth at least $2m. It is becoming increasingly clear that the US is experiencing one of the biggest wealth transfers in history.

Bernie Sanders has a plan to help. Last week, Sanders introduced a bill, Make Billionaires Pay Act, that would establish a one-time 60% tax on billionaires’ pandemic gains and use the money to guarantee Americans free health care for a year. There is very little chance the bill will get passed.

Billionaires shouldn’t exist in the first place-the idea that they should be taxed at a higher rate during a pandemic to help pay health care shouldn’t be remotely controversial. However, there are some who think such a move would be extremely unfair to “poor unfortunate” billionaires who, as we all know, are one of the most unfairly hurt groups in the world.
