Last week a civilian hero jumped into the ice-cold waters of Xianyang Lake to rescue someone’s life in Shaanxi Province. After saving the man, the rescuer quietly slinked away, avoiding any attention. However smartphone video taken by a passer-by shows how the man was saved. The hero himself is 57 year-old Wang Tao, identified after being recognized by some of his relatives and friends yesterday after the video clip was posted online. The video led to many praising his actions. Wang said he didn’t think too much at the moment of rescuing the man. “If you think too much you, then you might think twice about saving the person’s life,” Wang Tao told a local newspaper.
While there is a seemingly endless number
of companies issuing auto insurance policies
these days, there are really just two ways to
buy car insurance: You can purchase a
policy in-person through an agent -- a
licensed individual who sells policies on
behalf of one or more insurance companies
-- or you can buy directly from an insurer via
Web site or telephone.Buying car insurance
online still accounts for a relatively small
portion of total auto insurance sales, but it's
increasing in popularity. According to a 2011
survey by the Internet marketing research
company ComScore, just 20 percent of new
auto insurance policies were purchased
online, compared to 43 percent purchased
from an agent. However, the number of
online purchases represents an increase of 5
percent from just two years earlier, while the
number of agent purchases represents a 6
percent decline. Additionally, a 2011 survey
by J.D. Power and Associates showed that
54 percent of new auto insurance owners
applied for a rate quote online, the first time
this has happened for a majority of
respondents [source: Insurance Information
Institute].
