The incident occurred late last night and affected a hotel located above the EV showroom. While the fire reportedly began at the <keyword id="14969128" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="ruby-electric-scooters" source="Orion">Ruby Electric Scooters</keyword> showroom on the ground floor, it spread to the first and second floors of the <keyword id="14969532" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="ruby-pride-luxury-hotel" source="Orion">Ruby Pride Luxury Hotel</keyword>. The hotel reportedly had over 25 guests at the time. According to reports, eight people have already died from asphyxiation caused by the smoke. In addition, several people have reportedly been injured with burns and other injuries while trying to escape the fire. While the cause of the fire has not been announced yet, the officials suspect that the fire was caused by an electric scooter or a generator placed in the Ruby Electric Scooters showroom. "Fire broke out in electric scooter recharging unit on the ground floor, smoke from which overpowered the people staying on the first and second floor," said Hyderabad Police Commissioner CV Anand. Two fire engines were rushed to the spot to douse the fire. The fire brigade teams reportedly rescued seven people from the hotel trapped in the fire. Locals claimed that several people jumped from the building to escape the fire. Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed his anguish over the incident and announced compensation for the deceased and the injured from the Prime Minister's National Relief Fund. “Saddened by the loss of lives due to a fire in Secunderabad, Telangana. Condolences to the bereaved families. May the injured recover soon. Rs. 2 lakh from PMNRF would be paid to the next of kin of each deceased. Rs. 50,000 would be paid to the injured,” the PMO India’s Twitter account quoted the prime minister. “It is a very unfortunate incident. Fire brigade teams tried their best to rescue people from the lodge but due to heavy smoke, some people died. Some others were rescued from the lodge. We are probing how the incident happened," Telangana home minister Md. Mahmood Ali said. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Not the first incident at an EV showroom" comment="subhead" text="Not the first incident at an EV showroom">Not the first incident at an EV showroom</cmsannotation> This is not the first fire incident where an EV has caught on fire.

I was always an outsider. So it makes sense that <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/uk-and-us-compared-biggest-cultural-work-difference-2018-4">I've chosen to spend my adulthood abroad, in England</a>. After 13 years here, <a href="https://www.insider.com/biggest-differences-between-us-and-uk-life">I feel more at home in my adopted city of London</a> than I ever did in the US, even though most people assume I'm a tourist every time I open my mouth.Now that I'm a parent, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/differences-between-living-in-england-us-american-2018-10">it's hard not to compare what life with kids looks like in the UK versus the US</a>.<h2>It starts with pregnancy and birth</h2>My friends in the US have had more pregnancy scans in their first trimesters than people here have throughout their entire pregnancies. <a href="https://www.nhs.uk/pregnancy/your-pregnancy-care/ultrasound-scans/">You have two total on the publicly funded National Health Service</a> (unless they're particularly worried about something). You can also have everything from electrocardiograms to diabetes testing to <a href="https://www.nhs.uk/pregnancy/labour-and-birth/preparing-for-the-birth/where-to-give-birth-the-options/">water births at no charge here</a>. As someone who has experienced all of the above during my pregnancies, I'm fairly confident it would've cost me over <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/how-much-does-it-cost-to-have-a-baby-2018-4">$50,000 if I'd had my four kids in the US</a>.I did pay out privately to get my kids the chickenpox vaccine once I learned that Americans were doing it, even though it's not commonplace here.Of course, there are things to complain about when it comes to child-rearing in the <keyword id="11897975" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="uk" source="Orion">UK</keyword>, particularly the <a href="https://graziadaily.co.uk/life/parenting/childcare-campaign/">prohibitive cost of early-years childcare</a>. But free hospital and doctor's visits, plus paid parental leave that can last up to a year, are all immense benefits for which I am grateful.<h2>The language is the same, but it also isn't </h2>Even though I haven't had to learn a new language to live here, babyhood brought a new vocabulary. Instead of bassinets, diapers, pacifiers, and cribs, in the UK we have Moses baskets, nappies, dummies, and cots. I still feel as if I'm impersonating someone when asking my kids whether they want a salad with "tom-aw-toes" or hearing one of them shout "mum" (I always imagined myself as "mom"). Even ABCs aren't safe: In England, they end with "Zed," not "Z."While I consider myself shy, I can confidently tell you I am always, without fail, the loudest parent in any room, and on any street. This isn't intentional, but I think my American-ness means my <keyword id="11910745" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="parenting" source="Orion">parenting</keyword> style can best be described as "intense" compared with British parenting styles.I'm always telling my kids how proud I am of them, trying to make our thousandth playground trip more exciting by pretending we're doing an obstacle course or shouting for them not to speed too far ahead of me on their bikes and scooters. I often feel the stares, and the weight of expectation, from other parents.Sometimes, it seems as if I'm being judged because of my accent. I do think my kids are expected to behave better than their British counterparts when we're out and about because people are expecting the worst. Parenting is tricky enough, but it's added pressure to represent a nation when you live abroad.<h2>I need to make an effort to keep their connection with the US alive</h2>My kids are more English than American, which is simultaneously fascinating and heartbreaking for me. Since I don't have family in the US anymore, we don't visit as much as I'd like (the coronavirus pandemic has delayed our plans further), so I teach the kids about my homeland as if it's an essential subject. We read American Girl books, listen to "Hamilton" on repeat, and cook sweet-potato pie with marshmallows year-round.Parenting is an adventure. Being an American parent in the UK allows me to feel as if I'm discovering something new every day.

I'm an American mom who's lived in England for 13 years. These are the differences in parenting in the US and the UK.

That's certainly the case with <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/chase-sapphire-reserve-new-benefits-annual-fee-increasing-2020-1">the latest update</a> to the ultra-popular <a href="https://thepointsguy.com/card-hub/chase-sapphire-reserve/?utm_campaign=bi_01092020_ss_csr-4-types-users&amp;utm_source=referral" rel="nofollow">Chase Sapphire Reserve</a>: Starting on January 12, 2020, the card will add 10x points on Lyft rides and up to $60 in statement credits for DoorDash delivery this year and in 2021 - and the yearly cost will increase from $450 to $550. That puts the <a href="https://thepointsguy.com/card-hub/chase-sapphire-reserve/?utm_campaign=bi_01092020_ss_csr-4-types-users&amp;utm_source=referral" rel="nofollow">Chase Sapphire Reserve</a> on par with the <a href="https://thepointsguy.com/card-hub/the-platinum-card-from-american-express/?utm_campaign=bi_01092020_ss_csr-4-types-users&amp;utm_source=referral" rel="nofollow">Platinum Card® from American Express</a>, which increased its fee to from $450 to $550 in 2017. While I'm happy to pay a high annual fee when a credit card makes it easy to recoup that value in rewards and benefits, I'm starting to worry that this increasing fee trend is reaching perilous heights.In the past, when friends and family have asked me if the Chase Sapphire Reserve is worth the high annual fee, I've always said yes. The $300 travel credit effectively brought the annual fee down to $150, and the bonus points for travel and dining - plus benefits like Priority Pass airport lounge access - could easily cancel out the rest. I'll still keep my Chase Sapphire Reserve card because I love earning <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/guide-earning-using-chase-ultimate-rewards-points">Chase Ultimate Rewards points for travel</a> and I can get value out of the card's new statement credits, but in light of the higher annual fee, I think the card only makes sense for very specific types of users. For everyone else, the <a href="https://thepointsguy.com/card-hub/chase-sapphire-preferred-card/?utm_campaign=bi_01092020_ss_csr-4-types-users&amp;utm_source=referral" rel="nofollow">Chase Sapphire Preferred</a>, with a lower annual fee of $95, is a better option.If the following situations apply to you, the <a href="https://thepointsguy.com/card-hub/chase-sapphire-reserve/?utm_campaign=bi_01092020_ss_csr-4-types-users&amp;utm_source=referral" rel="nofollow">Sapphire Reserve</a> could be well worth the higher annual fee. If not, take a closer look at the Sapphire Preferred - it still <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/chase-sapphire-preferred-card-review">earns valuable Chase points</a> and offers many of the same travel protections.Keep in mind that we're focusing on the rewards and perks that make these credit cards great options, not things like interest rates and late fees, which will far outweigh the value of any points or miles. It's important to practice financial discipline when using credit cards by paying your balances in full each month, making payments on time, and only spending what you can afford to pay back. <h2>The Chase Sapphire Reserve makes sense if:</h2><h3>You travel - a lot</h3>The <a href="https://thepointsguy.com/card-hub/chase-sapphire-reserve/?utm_campaign=bi_01092020_ss_csr-4-types-users&amp;utm_source=referral" rel="nofollow">Chase Sapphire Reserve</a> has been <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/best-travel-rewards-credit-cards">Business Insider's top travel rewards card pick</a>, but the upcoming changes make it harder to recommend to occasional travelers.Yes, it offers an amazing 3 points per dollar on travel (and dining) and comes with a $300 annual travel credit that automatically applies for everything from Uber rides to plane tickets. The annual statement credit effectively reduced the $450 annual fee to $150 if you took full advantage, but with the $550 annual fee you'll be looking at an effective fee of $250 after you subtract the $300 credit.Not everyone spends enough on travel to make up the difference. If you do travel a lot, though, the <a href="https://thepointsguy.com/card-hub/chase-sapphire-reserve/?utm_campaign=bi_01092020_ss_csr-4-types-users&amp;utm_source=referral" rel="nofollow">Chase Sapphire Reserve</a> offers some of the <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/lesser-known-credit-card-travel-benefits-protections">best travel protections around</a>, including trip delay insurance, baggage delay insurance, and trip cancellation insurance.<h3>You use rideshare services </h3>Not everyone uses rideshare services like Lyft - and if you're among those who never need to call a ride, some of Sapphire Reserve's new benefits won't mean much to you. Starting on January 12, <a href="https://thepointsguy.com/card-hub/chase-sapphire-reserve/?utm_campaign=bi_01092020_ss_csr-4-types-users&amp;utm_source=referral" rel="nofollow">Sapphire Reserve</a> cardmembers can get a complimentary year of Lyft Pink membership, which entitles you to 15% off rides, priority airport pickups, and more. You'll also get 10x points on Lyft rides, which is a fantastic return on spending when you consider that Chase points can be worth about 2 cents each.Lyft Pink membership costs $19.99 per month, so you're looking at about $240 in value for the free year. But if you won't be taking advantage of any of Lift Pink's benefits, the real value is much closer to $0.<h3>You live in a big city</h3>Another aspect of Lyft Pink membership is that you get up to three 30-minute bike or scooter rides per month, but these are only available in select metropolitan areas. Bike perks are available in:<ul><li>New York City (via CitiBike)</li><li>San Francisco (via Bay Wheels)</li><li>Washington, D.C. (via Capital Bikeshare)</li></ul>Scooter perks are available in:<ul><li>Austin, TX</li><li>Denver, CO</li><li>Los Angeles, CA</li><li>Miami, FL</li><li>Minneapolis, MN</li><li>Oakland, CA</li><li>San Diego, CA </li><li>San Jose, CA</li><li>Washington, D.C.</li></ul>If you don't live in any of these areas or if you have no interest in bike or scooter rides, the value of this new <a href="https://thepointsguy.com/card-hub/chase-sapphire-reserve/?utm_campaign=bi_01092020_ss_csr-4-types-users&amp;utm_source=referral" rel="nofollow">Sapphire Reserve</a> perk could be quite low.<h3>You frequently order food delivery</h3>Another new <a href="https://thepointsguy.com/card-hub/chase-sapphire-reserve/?utm_campaign=bi_01092020_ss_csr-4-types-users&amp;utm_source=referral" rel="nofollow">Sapphire Reserve</a> benefit will be up to $60 in statement credits for DoorDash purchases in 2020, and up to $60 in credits in 2021. These won't be doled out in monthly allotments like it works with the <a href="https://thepointsguy.com/card-hub/the-american-express-gold-card/?utm_campaign=bi_01092020_ss_csr-4-types-users&amp;utm_source=referral" rel="nofollow">American Express® Gold Card</a>, so you could even use a year's worth of credits up in one order if you're ordering food for a group.DoorDash is a food-delivery service like GrubHub and Seamless, and it's available in dozens of cities across the US and Canada. But, again, if this benefit is of no use to you, you're not getting any value in exchange for the higher annual fee.<h2>For everyone else, the Chase Sapphire Preferred is a great pick</h2>Sure, the <a href="https://thepointsguy.com/card-hub/chase-sapphire-preferred-card/?utm_campaign=bi_01092020_ss_csr-4-types-users&amp;utm_source=referral" rel="nofollow">Chase Sapphire Preferred</a> can't compete with all the <a href="https://thepointsguy.com/card-hub/chase-sapphire-reserve/?utm_campaign=bi_01092020_ss_csr-4-types-users&amp;utm_source=referral" rel="nofollow">Sapphire Reserve</a>'s bells and whistles, but if you can't identify with any of the situations above, you probably don't need them.The Sapphire Preferred has a much lower annual fee ($95), and it still earns bonus points (2x, in this case) on travel and dining. Plus, it even offers a higher sign-up bonus than the Sapphire Reserve: 60,000 Ultimate Rewards points after you spend $4,000 in the first three months, compared to 50,000 points with the same minimum spending requirement on the Reserve.You'll even earn extra bonus points on Lyft rides with the Sapphire Preferred: 5x points, compared to 10x with the Reserve. <h3><a href="https://thepointsguy.com/card-hub/chase-sapphire-preferred-card/?utm_campaign=bi_01092020_ss_csr-4-types-users&amp;utm_source=referral" rel="nofollow">Click here to learn more about the Chase Sapphire Preferred »</a></h3><ul class="read-more-links"><li>More <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/category/credit-cards">credit card</a> coverage</li><li><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/best-airline-credit-card-comparison-delta-united-american">What's the best airline credit card?</a></li><li><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/best-cash-back-credit-cards">The best cash-back credit cards</a></li><li><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/southwest-credit-card-comparison-which-to-get">Southwest credit card review</a></li><li><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/best-rewards-credit-cards">Best rewards credit cards</a></li></ul>Disclosure: This post is brought to you by the Personal Finance Insider team.
