I wasn't able to get renters insurance a few years ago, but now I can bundle it with my car insurance. Being in quarantine with nowhere to go meant that switching from a standard car insurance policy to a pay-per-mile one saved me hundreds each year in insurance. However, I was reluctant to switch back to a standard car insurance policy. Here's why I found it helpful to go over my car insurance policy, and why I'll be reviewing my insurance regularly. Sure, there are more exciting things to do than pore over car insurance policy quotes, I'm glad I took the time to shop around for car insurance.

Here's how I crafted my creative residency in case you want to create your own.

Nicholas Coyle/Handout via REUTERSSYDNEY, Aug 11 (Reuters) - Australian journalist Cheng Lei, detained in China on national security charges, has described how standing in sunlight for just 10 hours a year feels in a "love letter" to her country. Her first public statement since her arrest came in what she called a "love letter to 25 million people" which was dictated to consular staff during a visit and released by her partner. The Australian government has repeatedly raised concerns about her detention, which came as China widened blocks on Australian exports amid a diplomatic dispute that is gradually easing. Albanese on Sunday said the barley decision was positive, but he wanted "other impediments to be removed ... included in that, the detention of the Australians, including Cheng Lei".

Last month, their father finally died of AIDS, the same illness that killed their mother a decade ago, leaving them orphans. Moscow says it has gathered hundreds of thousands of orphans and vulnerable children there, taking them to Russia for their safety. Children whose parents die are the most urgent cases, because the Russian-installed occupation authorities will swiftly impose legal guardianship, said Save Ukraine's founder, Mykola Kuleba.

Logos of Swiss banks UBS and Credit Suisse are seen in Zurich, Switzerland March 20, 2023. In Switzerland, up to 10,000 jobs could be affected with Zurich bearing the brunt if UBS goes ahead with its indicated preferred option of absorbing Credit Suisse and cutting overlapping jobs and operations. "The large banks have many highly paid very specialized roles, where frankly there is very little demand in the market outside UBS and Credit Suisse," he said. Job cuts at Credit Suisse will hit Swiss and foreign nationals on its payroll, which may mean some have to leave Switzerland if they can't find a new job. Swiss banks have been looking in particular to snap up relationship managers with strong client relationships and solid books.

An Asian MIT student was shocked when an AI tool turned her white for a professional headshot. She said she's been put off using AI image tools for now because it didn't create usable results. A recent study showed that some AI image generators have issues with gender and racial bias. The second image showed that the AI tool had altered her features to appear more Caucasian with lighter skin and blue eyes. The researchers explained that this is because the AI tool was trained on biased data which can amplify stereotypes.

But one company that doesn't seem to be sweating it too much is Netflix. And for all of June , Netflix signed up 3.5 million subscribers, the service's best month since Antenna started measuring it. Netflix's robust global content machine should also help it ensure subscribers still see plenty of fresh content during the strike, at least for the near term. Many writers blame Netflix for making it harder to make a living as a result, one of the conditions that led to the strike. Subs growth for Netflix is increasingly coming from overseas, where lower pricing power could cut into its average revenue per user.
