To someone who is technologically handicapped, most refrigerators on the outside look identical except for the logo they don upon their chests. This indistinguishable characteristic of refrigerators makes buying them not only tedious but rather overwhelming. It is, however, important to delve deeper into the refrigerator's distinct features to choose a fridge that not only performs well but also lasts long. If choices puzzle you, and finding the best refrigerator seems impossible, check out our top list of features that you must look for before making thepurchase. Energy star rating The best refrigerator has an energy star program that is verified by the Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Energy. You can, therefore, safely choose to pick your refrigerator soley based on its energy efficiency. Since all refrigerators have to work round the clock, it is imperative to choose the appliance that not only lasts for several years, but also saves a substantial amount on the operating cost. Dual evaporation Most basic refrigerators house a single evaporator in the freezer that is single handedly responsible for cooling the entire fridge. This aspect poorly affects the refrigerator's performance, making the appliance lesser effective. The best refrigerator therefore is ideally the one that has a system of dual evaporation. By dual evaporation, we mean a separate cooling system for the freezer, and a different cooling environment for the rest of the compartment. Dual evaporation is the most desirable feature in the fridge as it helps maintain a steady temperature, and a balanced humidity level that allows food to remain fresher, for longer hours. Adjustable sheves People who have busy schedules, and limited time for cleaning, and accomplishing other household chores, often look for features that are hassle free, and require minimal maintenance. In such cases, buying a refrigerator that has easily washable, and adjustable shelve can prove to be a great boon. Adjustable glass shelves add great convenience to refrigerators as they can easily be removed and cleaned within seconds. Other features While many people prefer large storage drawers in refrigerators to accommodate bigger pots, cartons, and other storage items, technology enthusiasts may look for smart connect and sync features that automatically adjust, regulate and control temperatures, and humidity levels to ensure food stays fresher than ever before. Several newer models also come with advanced features specifically incorporated to provide great convenience, ease, and comfort to users. Some of these features include LED lights, digital control panels, water dispensers, and air purification systems, power cool feature, and more!

Vehicle tracking system is a combination of the use of automatic vehicle location in individual vehicles with software that is responsible for collecting fleet data for complete information on the vehicle location. Today, Global Positioning System (GPS) technology is being used by modern vehicle tracking systems for locating vehicles. Information from this vehicle is viewed on electronic maps through the Internet or any other specialized software. This is more popular with commercial motor vehicle operators. GPS tracking delivers real-time information on the activity, location, and the mobile inventory of vehicles, which can reduce cost, and improve customer service and business performance.

The working of fleet GPS tracking systems

The current GPS network, relying on signal telemetry beams from space satellites, has been in use since the 1970s. GPS sends transmissions between satellites and a receiver, which can determine the distance of the receiver unit from the location of the signal. Fleet GPS tracking systems make use of this simple but reliable technology to find the real-time location of vehicles.

Benefits of fleet GPS tracking systems

Business advantage

Fleet GPS tracking systems benefit to know the exact location of a vehicle at all times to get more efficient and productive use out of vehicles in a fleet. With GPS fleet tracking, the fleet manager can track information like the distance of the vehicle from its destination, the route taken, the traffic impeding its progress, or even estimate its arrival time. This will improve the routing of the vehicle and lead to a shorter drive time and more number of deliveries. This tracking system also allows the dispatcher to make changes in the route to be taken at any part of the trip and inform the same to the driver.

Lowering maintenance and fuel cost

GPS fleet tracking allows the dispatcher to make alterations in the route to avoid bad weather, traffic jams, or roadblocks. This reduces fuel consumption by shortening distances and avoiding heavy traffic, resulting in a decrease in engine idling. It also can reduce the maintenance cost of the vehicle by reducing the exposure of the vehicles to conditions that could lead to a lot of wear and tear. In other words, it can extend the lifespan of the vehicle.

Monitoring the driver

GPS fleet tracking can also collect data that provides information about the driver of the vehicle such as over speeding, rapid acceleration, and harsh braking. The information gathered may be utilized to evaluate the driver’s performance or improve driving skills. Fleet GPS tracking systems can thus promote safer driving in fleet operations by reducing risks of accidents.

Monitoring assets

When managing a business fleet, one needs to have a control of assets such as the vehicles, the load that is being transported, and any other required equipment. While managing assets, fleet GPS tracking systems can continually update information of every item at any given time, including off-duty hours. Fleet GPS tracking systems can also show when a stationary vehicle begins moving. This can immediately detect theft and unapproved after-work use of vehicles or equipment and the company can act accordingly.

Safety and security

Fleet GPS tracking systems have the function of geo-locating. This can protect the driver from any unforeseen harm. A driver requiring help, such as medical emergency, tow vehicle, etc., can seek to expect assistance to arrive quicker without any delay as the location of the vehicle is readily available. Night darkness or poor visibility caused by bad weather will not affect the working of the fleet GPS tracking systems since it relies on electronic data. Fleet GPS tracking systems have now become a practical and integral part of commercial vehicle fleets, making them safer and efficient. It is useful in the trucking and transportation industry. Fleet GPS tracking systems allow the fleet manager to make the best use of his company’s assets to enhance productivity while reducing cost.

On Tuesday, September 10, Apple finally launched this year’s most anticipated iPhone series at the Steve Jobs Theater in Cupertino. All three phones - the iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max come with the powerful A13 Bionic chip that renders exceptional performance while resourcefully using the battery life. Needless to say, you can expect a smooth and efficient user experience from all the phones. Then again, many factors make the iPhone 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max starkly different from the iPhone 11 including the camera system, battery life, and display. We’ll get to those later in the article. While the flagships, iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max come with a starting price of $999 and $1,099, the iPhone XR successor is comparatively cheaper; its basic model costs only $699. All the phones will be made available for pre-order on September 13 and will be in the stores from September 20 onwards. Design and display Apple is known for its sophisticated phone design and as expected even this time, they don’t disappoint. The body of iPhone 11 is designed using glass and aluminum, whereas the iPhone 11 Pro models are created with textured matte glass and stainless steel. To ensure that all three phones are highly durable, Apple has used the toughest ever glass in its design. Likewise, all phones are water-resistant. Unlike the iPhone 11 Pro that offers water resistance up to 4 meters, the iPhone 11 only offers 2 meters. When it comes to the display, Apple has employed a new Super Retina XDR display in iPhone 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max. This offers viewers an enthralling HDR experience to watch movies and other high-definition content with nearly 1,200 nits brightness. Alternatively, iPhone 11 features a Liquid Retina display, however, it doesn’t support HDR like iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max. A common factor in all three phones is the wide color support along with True Tone to render a natural viewing experience.

Skin cancer is the abnormal or malignant growth of skin cells. The disease has been categorized into three major types. These are named after the affected skin cells. The most common form of skin cancer is called basal cell carcinoma. The next common type is squamous cell carcinoma. The least common but the most dangerous type of major skin cancer is melanoma. Other forms of less common skin cancer are atypical fibroxanthoma, merkel cell carcinoma, kaposi sarcoma (in blood vessels), skin adnexal tumors, cutaneous lymphoma and different types of sarcomas. Causes: The cause of skin cancer is the mutations in the DNA structure of the cells. The damage or the alteration in the skin cell DNA can occur due to ultraviolet (UV) rays of the sun. The harmful UV exposure can also occur from the use of tanning beds. However, the disease can also occur on skin surface not exposed to UV radiation. Another possible cause is a weakened immune system. Risk Factors: Other than UV exposure, there are several risk factors that can increase a person's chances of getting skin cancer. • Repeated severe cases of sunburns in people of all ages can cause skin cancer. • Fair skin contains less melanin, so it is more susceptible to harm from the UV light. • Red or blond hair; blue eyes or freckles are also risk factors for skin cancer. • People living in high-altitude or warm climate regions are more at risk of sun exposure and thus skin cancer. • Hereditary factors or family history of the disease can significantly raise a person's risk of skin cancer. • Exposure to arsenic or radiation. • Moles that are abnormal in sizes and look irregular. • Someone who has had skin cancer can develop the disease again in the future. • Actinic keratoses are a type of skin lesions that indicate sun-damaged skin. • Some sexually-transmitted viral infections can also increase skin cancer risks. Symptoms: Different types of skin cancer develop symptoms specific to the disease. • Basal cell carcinoma can appear as bumps with wax-like shine or as flat brown-colored lesions. Squamous cell carcinoma causes flat and scaly lesions or red nodules that are quite firm. Melanoma can appear as a big brown spot, a tiny lesion with different colors, dark lesions or a mole that changes in appearance and size. • Kaposi sarcoma can appear as purple or red spots on the mucous membranes or the skin. Merkel cell carcinoma appears as shiny bumps on or under the hair or skin. Sebaceous gland carcinoma appears in the skin's oil glands as firm bumps. It most commonly occurs on the eyelids. • Basically, any abnormal-looking skin growth can indicate skin cancer. Treatment: There are different treatment options for skin cancer such as surgery, radiation therapy and use of topical medications. Depending on the cancer, the doctor may employ other ways to remove cancerous cells such as cryosurgery, use of lasers and other medicines. However, it is possible to prevent most types of skin cancer.

When people forget or cannot pay their car loans, their vehicles are repossessed by the governing organization. To remake some of their lost money on these investments, these organizations sell the vehicles at a discounted price at used car auctions as soon as possible. Although many of these auctions are aimed only at car sellers, several are also open to the public. This article will answer some of the questions regarding purchasing a repossessed car. What do I keep in mind when buying a repossessed car? Whether you are a used car dealer or a one-time buyer looking for a good deal on a car, purchasing repossessed cars can be a lucrative yet risky investment. Lenders are required to sell the car in a "commercially reasonable" manner, which requires them to adhere to standard sales practices. So you can expect a fair market value for your purchase when buying a repossessed car. However, in many cases, the cars have a history of neglect by the previous owner(s) and may require some repairs. If you are somebody who enjoys taking on a new project and flipping a used car into something more enjoyable for your personal use, then this may be for you. Repossessed cars are generally cheaper than cars sold by private sellers or dealers, especially when they are trying to recoup their losses. However, these cars are also generally sold "as-is," that is, no cosmetic or mechanical changes or repairs are made to the vehicle before the sale, and no warranties are added to increase their market value. This makes it essential to exercise caution when purchasing a repo car. Where can I buy a repossessed car? Repossessed cars may be purchased from the following entities:

• From lenders Some banks and credit unions sell repossessed cars directly to buyers. These listings can be found in certain newspapers or the websites of the concerned sellers. Some third-party sites may also advertise these sales. When purchasing from lenders, they list the cars available for sale along with basic details such as the year, make, model, mileage, and date to submit a bid. There is no auctioning in this process, and every person is expected to make a bid. It may take several weeks to find out if you won the car. If your bid is accepted, you can check the car before signing the documents and confirming your purchase. Some lenders also provide financing options for your purchase, opening up room for negotiation.
• From an auction If you're buying from an auction, you will find plenty of options to choose from. When purchasing from a live auction, you also get to see the car before bidding on it, unlike buying from a lender. However, auctions also require on-hand cash, or a pre-approved loan from a lender, as they do not offer on-site financing options.
• From the repo company Buying from a repo company is similar to buying from a lender. A repo company may add storage and handling fees to the final cost.
• From a used car dealership Buying from a used car dealership is like making a regular car purchase from a store. You may be unable to tell a repossessed car apart from the other cars in the lot. Prices are likely to be the highest here, as the dealership will try to recoup its costs and make a profit on the overall sale.

What are repo auctions? Repo auctions are similar to regular auctions; the only difference is that the seller is the bank, the credit union, or the finance company repossessed the vehicle. These auctions are an excellent place to buy your next vehicle at a cheaper price. Is any financial help available for buying a repossessed car? When buying a repossessed car from a lender or a dealership, you can get a traditional auto loan, as you would when purchasing any new or used car. If you are buying from a repo company or at an auction, you can opt for a personal loan to help finance the purchase.
