This is a strange piece of news to pop-up. Apparently, AT&T is getting ready to launch the Galaxy S III Mini on their network. That's right, not the Galaxy S4 Mini but rather the near year-old smaller sibling of Samsung's flagship for 2012. According to yet another leak from @evleaks, the device has been outed with the signature AT&T logo adorning the rear of the device. Other than that, the device looks very much like the Galaxy S III Mini that launched internationally last year.
The device is apparently carrying the codename of "Golden" and a model number of SM-G730A. There's no word on availability or pricing just yet but, we can't imagine that AT&T want to yet any longer on this little guy. Pricing wise, we should expect this to become the cheapest Galaxy S smartphone to have ever graced Ma Bell's network.
If you're unfamiliar with the Galaxy S III Mini, it's essentially what the Galaxy S4 Mini is but, older. The Galaxy S III Mini is a 4-inch device with a dual-core 1 Ghz CPU, 1GB of RAM and a display resolution of 480 x 800. Sure, that's nothing to write home about but, Samsung did launch this with pretty much the same software experience as the Galaxy S III so, if you're looking for Samsung's best on a budget, this might not be too bad an option.
It's interesting to see that they've gone with the Galaxy S III Mini and the S4 Mini as well, seeing as the S4 Mini has been on shelves for months now and is a considerably better device than this little guy here. Needless to say, there's a possibility that this is a non-final render and that AT&T is actually going to be launching the S4 Mini but, @evleaks hasn't been wrong on things like this for a while now.
The question is, will AT&T be able to sell many of these? Sure, there's a market out there for "premium" budget devices like this but, with a year-old brand attached to it, we can't see this flying off of shelves. What about you?

The Case for Freewill Theism
Can God intervene in this world?
If so, to what extent can he intervene?
If God intervenes, can we initiate such intervention by prayer?
And if God can intervene, why is evil so persistent?
Taking up such practical and profound questions, David Basinger (a coauthor of the much-discussed book The Openness of God) offers a probing philosophical examination of freewill theism. This controversial view, put forward most prominently by Clark Pinnock, Richard Rice, John Sanders, William Hasker and Basinger, argues that the God of Christianity desires "responsive relationship" with his creatures. Freewill theism, or the "open view" of God, rejects process theology, but calls for a reassessment of such classical doctrines as God's immutability, impassibility and foreknowledge.
In The Case for Freewill Theism Basinger continues the debate by focusing attention especially on divine omniscience, theodicy and petitionary prayer from the freewill perspective. His careful, precise and compelling argument contributes to a growing and important discussion among orthodox Christian philosophers and theologians.

An international playboy finds true love in a sexy new standalone contemporary romance from Aliza Mann.
Ashton Lyle is a man in control. His rules are simple:
Hard work.
No deviation.
And lucky for him no one is able to resist his mega-watt smile, dazzling wit, sexy British accent, and ability to manipulate any situation in business . . . and in bed.
That is, until he meets a woman with rules of her own.
Terra Ellis is a self-made woman who knows what she wants.
A successful entrepreneur, she has worked hard to cultivate an impeccable image.
A tumultuous relationship with her ex-husband has reinforced her drive but it has also made her question serious relationships.
After all, a busy woman has no time for romance.
That is, until Terra meets a man who sees through her façade.
Ashton and Terra are about to discover that some rules were made to be broken. . . .
Ever since she was a small child, Aliza Mann loved to tell stories. It started in the backyard of her family's home where she shared them with the neighborhood kids. Through the years she read anything she could get her hands on. In high school she found her love for romance.

Actively employed, she balances her love of writing a great story between two pseudo-adult children, a fabulous son-in-law, and the man of her dreams.

If a word is mysterious and also a mouthful, it's sure to become my favorite.
When I heard "anamnesis" for the first time, I was sparked.
The concept is deceptively simple. By calling to mind the passion, death, and resurrection of Christ (as Catholics do at Mass in each Eucharistic prayer), we enter into these mysteries of salvation.
Let me put this more simply and shockingly: we do not simply remember, in a past, passive way. We participate in a present, palpable reality.
Memory is a powerful, potent process. We return in our minds to a time and place that is not here and now. We sift through the impressions of experience, in constant conversation with the changes that have happened since. Beyond mere recollection, memory is the deeper imprinting of what mattered in the past that we carry with us into the future.
In Catholic theology, memory is an act of prayer, faith, and transformation. Celebrating communion is not a memory of the Last Supper; it is a participation in the reality of the first (and eternal) Eucharist.
Anamnesis is a mouthful of mystery. We speak the words and become what we remember and receive.
Do this in memory of me.
October 15th is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day. Many parents who mourn the loss of a baby to miscarriage, stillbirth, or infant loss remember their children today.
In grief the act of remembering may be its own small hope of anamnesis. By returning in memory to those we have lost, can we participate again in the mysterious fullness of love that continues beyond death?
Memory keeps alive those who have died, we often hear. But more than that, memory continues to change the living.
As the present separates us from the past in which we were together in life with our beloved dead, we turn toward the future that is shaped by their memory—and surrounded by the promise of eventual, eternal reunion.
Today is a day for many of us to remember. (Indeed, I would argue it is the perfect moment for all of us to remember, respect, and pray for life lost too soon.)
But it is also a day for all of us to enter into the mystery of anamnesis. The truth that because Christ suffered, died, rose, and lives, we too will suffer, die, rise, and live.
Listen to catch the words of memory—past, present, and future—the next time you gather for the Eucharist. It is not an aside; it is everything.
And listen, too, to the memory of the dead speaking truth to your life. Past, present, and future are all bound up in love. This is the mystery that sustains us.
Today we are launching our #grievingtogether campaign on social media. Whether you have lost a child or want to support a loved one, we invite you to share one of these images with a message of love for those who mourn. Or you can print the sign below, add the name(s) of those you wish to remember, and share a photo of yourself holding the sign to show your support.
As we prepare to launch our book "Grieving Together: A Couple's Journey through Miscarriage," we want to reach out with love and support to parents who mourn. To buy the book on Kindle now or pre-order in paperback for release in November, click here.

Braddan Commissioners are against plans for a new development that would include a pub, children's play barn and a 12-lane bowling alley.
A subisdiary of the UK's biggest alcohol distributor EFB wants to expand its commercial operation in the Island and is seeking permission to develop land off Ballafletcher Road - opposite the Braddan cemetery.
It wants to build business facilities including a bonded warehouse and offices, but would also construct leisure facilities and a motel.
At the moment the land is owned by the government and zoned for industry.
The commissioners believe it's not a suitable use for industrial land and would go against strategic plan for the area.
Chairman Margaret Hodge says they also don't like the idea of facilities for children being immediately alongside alcohol related industry.[play media file below]

By Deborah LohNew Straits Times
January 23, 2001
The International Court of Justice might be the last avenue to find an end to the economic sanctions on Iraq, UN Special Envoy to Myanmar, Tan Sri Razali Ismail said.
Razali, who was formerly Malaysia's representative to the UN and president of the UN General Assembly, said only on that platform could the UN's violation of its own laws and principles on human rights be exposed.
"The sanctions on Iraq have never been brought to the ICJ. Doing so could be the final option not just for governments but for civil society by petitioning the court.
"I believe the Malaysian government, being sensitive to the public's feelings, would surely take this matter up to the ICJ if there is enough ground support."
While there was no guarantee the ICJ would lift the sanctions, Razali said it was important to ensure the issue reaches the court. "This is the channel through which people can influence the UN."
He was speaking at a Press conference after chairing a public forum on the effects of sanctions on women and children. It was organised by the Pan-Pacific and Southeast Asia Women's Association of Malaysia (PPSEAWA). Former UN assistant secretary-general Hans Von Sponeck was the speaker.
Von Sponeck said sanction laws in the UN Charter were "clearly subsidiary" to other laws which require the Security Council to "act in accordance with the Charter's principles" that uphold human rights. "This issue of subsidary law has not been raised enough. Some international lawyers have noted this but the Security Council has chosen to ingore them," he said. The question on subsidiary law and the ICJ's role was raised at the forum by Solicitor-General Datuk Heliliah Mohd Yusof.
Von Sponeck praised Malaysia for daring to speak out against the sanctions during its time as a non-permanent member of the Security Council. He urged the Government to further the issue of subsidiary law by rallying other Asean countries around this point, and to initiate discussion at the UN General Assembly.
Von Sponeck, who was also coordinator of the UN humanitarian programme in Baghdad from 1998 to 2000, told of Iraq's suffering people and battered infrastructure since sanctions were imposed 10 years ago.
Unemployment is now at 60 per cent, 21 per cent of children were malnourished, 90 per cent of raw sewerage ended up in rivers and the moratlity rate had increased 160 per cent.
Under the UN's Oil for Food programme, each Iraqi only received US$100 (RM380) per person each year. Billions of dollars worth of supplies are being held back for fear of misuse by the military, when in fact, the sanctions had "reduced Iraq to a third-rate military," Von Sponeck said.
"There is no threat as perceived by the US and Britian. Their demonisation of the Iraqi military is wrong."
While admitting that Iraq does have "a restrictive society", Von Sponeck said the suffering is clearly the result of sanctions. He said more countries were aware of this. Many Americans too, were opposed to their country's abuse of its position in the Security Council. "I believe international pressure from the grassroots will continue to mount and influence the UN."
PPSEAWA patron Datuk Seri Dr Siti Hasmah Mohd Ali said the organisation would present a paper to the Security Council on its opposition to the sanctions. She led a group of women from non-governmental organisations to Iraq last March to get a first-hand account of the situation. Today's forum was part of PPSEAWA's international objective to spread a culture of peace, she said.

Implementation Strategies
View a selection of implementation strategies from educators who are successfully using ALEKS to achieve dramatic learning outcomes.
Ephrata High School, Ephrata Area School District
Ephrata, PA
Grade(s): 9 - 12
Scenario: Computer Lab, Laptop Carts, Home Access
Purpose: Exit Exam
ALEKS Portion of Curriculum: 50%
Time Spent in ALEKS: 3.75 hours per week, 168.75 hours per term
ALEKS Course: Algebra 1, High School Geometry
Jason D. Buck, Math Teacher
My experience with ALEKS has been great! I am told by my district administration to differentiate instruction, but find it impossible to do with some of my low-level classes. ALEKS helps me differentiate instruction automatically and allows students to improve their understanding of all the concepts they need for the corresponding course they are also enrolled in. I have my students for one period in the lab using ALEKS and a second period in my classroom studying Geometry. It's absolutely wonderful!
What challenges did the class or school face in math prior to using ALEKS?
Some students are ready for Geometry, but most are not. We are constantly trying to reteach concepts while also trying to move ahead into new content. We are also pressured by the Pennsylvania System of School Assessment (PSSA) and needing to provide enrichment courses for students who are predicted to score below basic. ALEKS is exactly what we need!
How many days per week is class time dedicated to ALEKS?
5 days per week.
What is the average length of a class period when ALEKS is used?
45 minutes.
How do you implement ALEKS?
We are using it for our double period math classes. One period is the regular Geometry or Algebra 1 course content and instruction, and the other period was designed as the enrichment period to help students improve their math skills for the PSSA and SAT, as well as to be better prepared for their current and future math classes.
Do you cover ALEKS concepts in a particular order?
We align the ALEKS topics with our textbook series.
How do you structure your class period with ALEKS?
One period is for ALEKS, and the other period is for the regular teaching. Students during the ALEKS enrichment class work individually for the entire 45 minute period. I do help students who can't understand a topic simply by using the explain button.
How did you modify your regular teaching approach as a result of ALEKS?
I haven't had to modify my regular teaching because our elective enrichment course is a separate period.
How often are students required or encouraged to work on ALEKS at home?
I encourage them to work from home every day.
How do you cultivate parental involvement and support for ALEKS?
On parents' night, we had an ALEKS presentation and demonstration. Each of the teachers who are using ALEKS discussed it with their students' parents.
Is ALEKS assigned to your students as all or part of their homework responsibilities? If so, what part of the total homework load is it?
It is a separate class that they are enrolled in. They are required to work on it during the class period.
How do you incorporate ALEKS into your grading system?
Since it is a separate class period, the students receive a grade for that class based on their ALEKS performance. We use a linear combination of their hours of practice time, initial assessment percentage, and performance/cumulative assessment percentages.
Do you require students to make regular amounts of progress in ALEKS?
I expect students to make progress each day, usually 1-3 topics, depending on difficulty. Some exceed that expectation. The progress is measured by the difference between their current percentage and their initial percentage or the percentage of their most recent assessment.
Learning Outcomes
Since using ALEKS, please describe the learning outcomes or progress you have seen.
Since using ALEKS, I've seen students perform better on content from previous courses. I have also noticed that my students feel more prepared.
Best Practices
Are there any best practices you would like to share with other teachers implementing ALEKS?
I recommend a notebook for each student to use while working on ALEKS.

"The customer (client) is always right." – I don't know who invented this saying, but apparently, he or she wasn't thinking straight.
This is just another popular phrase that caused almost every single one of us harm.
Back in the day when I used to do a lot of freelance copywriting, I've came into contact with all sorts of different clients who actually believed that they were right all the time.
I remember working for this one client a couple of years back who hired me to write some content for his company's blog.
He got my information from our mutual friend, so he called me up, and we met for lunch. Everything was going fine, he really seemed interested in content marketing and investing more than his time and money into making it great.
Next to that, next to presenting his story and business as something that I should definitely be apart of, he offered me a really attractive salary, so I said yes to his proposal and we started doing business together.
In the first five days, everything was going great, but then he started to shove his nose into my business. He kept micromanaging my work and bugging me with irrational questions like: "Why don't you write this sentence like this? Why is this piece longer than the previous one? Why do we need this call to action here, and not there?"
At first, I thought it was kind of weird that he did that because he had no prior experience in copywriting, content management or running a company blog.
Let's get something clear right away. Usually, I don't mind when my clients ask me questions about my work. Not at all. In fact, I tend to encourage them to do so, so I could get my hands on some serious feedback. But that wasn't the case here.
This man hired me to do a job (based on my track record and expertise) that he doesn't know how to do himself, and yet, he kept correcting me and sending me notes on how I should "improve" my work.
It goes without saying that most of his suggestions were quite off, and that I instantly knew that they were gonna backfire on us.
I tried to state my case on the matter, but he was determined to push his ideas through.
After arguing for a while, he pulled rank on me, so I caved in and changed my work to match his requests, so I don't get fired. Naturally, the content bombed, and guess what? – He blamed me for it.
This is just one of the more bizarre moments I had with my clientele during my freelancing days. There were other scenario that weren't that extreme, but they've also ended up as huge disappointments.
So, Why Do These Situations Keep Repeating Themselves?
Lack of trust.
I see trust as the cornerstone of any healthy, productive relationship, be it business oriented or not.
The problem with it is that in some industries, it's a lot harder to establish it.
Do you think that the businessman who sent me those notes on how to "improve" my work did the same thing to his dentist? Of course not.
Why? – Well, because he's in no position to question his work.
I know for a fact that he doesn't know how to fix teeth, but he still seeks dental services. Just as he trusts his dentist to a solid job on his teeth, he should have also trusted me to write great copy for his company's blog.
Reality Check
Contrary to popular thinking – Nobody is always right.
A client is usually an expert in functionality (business rules) of his business, and he obviously understand the requirements of their work very well. That gives the client the ability to articulate exactly what it needs, but only in terms of business rules.
However, your client is not an expert at every single thing that's directly and indirectly related to his work. If he is, then he doesn't have to seek assistance from all sorts of different service providers.
In my experience I have learned that business clients usually expect solutions which are similar to some other solution that they have already seen or used in another part of their business.
The solution you provide may be better, but it might also require them to shift their vision in a bit different direction, and that tends to create problems, especially if more money is involved.
Don't get me wrong, sometimes clients can come up with great suggestions. In some situations, you could actually benefit from some different input. But, in order that to work, you both need to be on the same page.
Dealing with clients whose opinions conflict with yours is not easy. If you want your relationship to work, you need to be very open and willing to listen and understand their opinions. They might have a point. Always remember to ask the right questions to fully understand from where their ideas are coming from, and if there's a way on how you could communicate your actions so they could see some real benefits behind them.
The trick here is to never undermine your clients or employers position, but also, it's of equal importance that you stand your ground and protect your work, because, at the end of the day, you're gonna answer for it.
So, to underline everything that I wrote here, the whole issue is not necessarily about the client being "wrong". I think the majority of friction between clients and companies/freelancers/service providers lies in lack of communication and undefined expectations.
However, clients can sometimes be over demanding. If you spend some time getting to know your clients, and what their expectations are, you can educate them and establish realistic expectations. By doing this, you'll generally (90% of the time) resolve all your issues before they even surface.
If not, you can always choose to due business with someone else. Just like how your clients have the option of choosing with whom they want to work with, so do you.
When going into business with someone, never only focus on how much money you're gonna make out of your arrangement. There are a lot of other elements that you should have in mind when agreeing to certain terms. But, that's a whole new subject for some later posts.
I hope you've enjoyed reading this post. If so, please remember to share it with your friends and colleagues.
That's it for now,
See you soon again,

Rubbermaid HYGEN – A Simple Step Toward Sustainability
The staff at a local cafe I know collects rainwater in a roof barrel and filters it for use in the kitchen. They heat the water with solar panels. They also employ a number of other energy and resource saving innovations and practices. "Sustainable" has become their marketing theme and it attracts customers to their doors.
Their efforts are laudable, but most operations don't need a complete remodel to start practicing good stewardship of Mother Earth. There are many simple ways to have a more sustainable foodservice operation. The Rubbermaid Commercial HYGEN Clean Water System is a simple step toward sustainability. It conserves water and limits the amount of detergents emptied back into the environment.
It consists of a heavy-duty mop bucket that can filter and reuse the same container of water again and again. When the mop water gets dirty, simply tilt the bucket 90 degrees. The dirty water transfers to a filtering chamber. Tilt the bucket upright again, and in a few minutes, clean filtered water passes back into the mop chamber. Both water and detergent are conserved.
The Rubbermaid double-sided micro mop heads clean floors faster and more effectively than a string mop. They are proven to remove 99.9% of microorganisms and remain durable through 1000 launderings. The HYGEN double roller wringer is adjustable to control the dampness of the mop, and it has special scrubbers inside to remove more dirt from the mop head.
The HYGEN system has been well tested since its first introduction a few years ago. Rubbermaid Commercial did a complete study at Butler University in Indianapolis. The system saved Butler 50% in time and productivity, 6000 gallons of water, and $6000 in labor costs over a 1-year period. You can read about the study here.
The Rubbermaid HYGEN clean water system is a simple step toward sustainability that any operator can implement immediately. Rubbermaid offers ongoing training and support programs and has a "Return On Investment Calculator" for measuring performance. Watch the Rubbermaid video below for a great demonstration, or click here for information and downloadable resources.

How to Tell If a 우리카지노Casino Is Going to Cheat You
Gambling is all about risk. Every time you hit spin or deal the cards, you're leaving the outcome up to chance. And we wouldn't have it any other way!
But there's one thing you should never have to gamble on: getting paid. Unfortunately, some online casinos have made their entire business model about stealing money from players.
And believe me, it's no fun having your winnings held captive by a shady casino.
So before you try out a new site, make sure you know how to spot the signs of a casino that has no problem confiscating your cash.우리카지노
Consistently bad reviews
It's easier than ever to see other players' experiences at a casino. All you have to do is visit the casino's review page right here at AskGamblers – there's no reason not to take advantage of this free info.
Check to make sure players don't have issues. And if a problem does arise in a review, make sure the casino responds professionally and handles the situation gracefully.
If you see a pattern of complaints, you'll want to steer clear.
Typos, errors, and glitches
The way we see it, online casinos should be just as professional as land-based ones. Of course, there's more to it than just how a casino looks, but the website itself is a good indicator.
Think about it: if the people running the casino can't even be bothered to make a functioning website, they probably won't care if you run into issues. There might not even be anyone listening!
Before you make a deposit into a casino, spend a few minutes browsing their site. Can you find links to the FAQ and support pages? Are the terms and conditions written properly? Can you navigate from page to page without broken links or errors? If so, it's a good sign.
Unprofessional customer service
The support staff are a key part of any online casino. Even at the best casinos – like the ones that bear our Certificate of Trust – you're bound to need to contact someone sooner or later. https://www.kasa77.com
The good news is that you can get a feel for how they treat players before you deposit. First, check to make sure support staff are easy to reach. Live chat is our preferred method, but Skype and phone support can be just as good. If the casino only has an email address, replies can take 24 hours or more.
If all you seem to get is automated responses, think twice before depositing
Then, make an inquiry. A good idea is to ask about the welcome bonus. Ask a few questions like "What is the wagering requirement?", "Can I play blackjack with the bonus?", or "Is there a limit to how much I can win?". Make sure the representative answers your questions properly. If all you seem to get is automated responses, think twice before depositing.
Dubious licensing
Gambling is heavily regulated throughout the world. No matter where a casino's physical server is located, it will need to have a license from a government body.
Playing at an unlicensed casino is not a smart idea
Playing at an unlicensed casino is not a smart idea. Most obviously, their servers (and your bankroll) could be seized by government officials at any time. (Yes, this happens more often than you might think.) Unlicensed casinos also have no regulations to follow. That means no one is looking out for you if something goes wrong.
Plus, if a casino doesn't care about getting a license, they probably cut corners everywhere else too. So take a few seconds to make sure you're playing at a licensed site. You can check their review here at AskGamblers, or look on their website footer for a government seal. https://www.hahagt.com
Don't gamble on getting paid
The next time you have a little fun at an online casino, make sure you pick a place that will pay you when you win! Keep these guidelines in mind, and the only thing you'll have to worry about is finding the right game.
Want more tips? You can't go wrong with our own community of real players on the AskGamblers forum.

Silver Ridge™ 2.0 Convertible Pant is rated out of 5 by 16.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Jenny27 from Does not run small I just received my order so I can't really attest to the quality or function yet. I wanted to say that I would have ordered a size 6 based on the size measurements but after reading reviews I decided to order a size 8 so it wouldn't be tight. These are very loose and while I can still wear them with a belt I think the 6 would have fit perfectly. I am 5'4" 130lbs.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Camping5 from Tight in the thigh These pants run tight in the thigh and then loose from the knee down. I measured and followed the sizing chart, but the pants were not true to size. Im not sure if I should reorder a larger size and I'm nervous the bottom half will be huge from the knee on down. I'm 5'9" and 135" slender. I ordered a size 6 long. The length was great though.

Rated 4 out of 5 by SplashingB from Too tight in crotch and waist Bought my usual size 6 Tall. Great length but too tight in waist and crotch. I'm 5'7" 132 lbs. Wished it had more pockets, too. Material seemed good and zippers ok. Had to return, sadly. Strange because Columbia pants used to run a bit large on me, I thought. I think an 8 would have been too big.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Rachel777 from Flattering These pants are super cute and look really good on. Water whicking fabric. Slightly smaller than expected.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Liz99 from Great hiking pants! I just bought these hiking pants and they are great. They are better in slightly warmer weather because they are fairly thin fabric. They have been very comfortable to hike around in and I would recommend them as a versatile pair! I did buy a size bigger (bought an 8, a 6 is my usual and they were very snug) than I normally wear and they are perfect.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Okalani1 from Too baggy Since I'm a petite, wide gal, I always have to size up with Columbia. Width is okay, but the length is always a problem. Nice material, but it was baggy and long on me even though it's a short inseam. Had to return it.
Date published: 2020-03-03
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sarahlee from Columbia Pants I wear these for work. I work with dogs and am constantly working with water. They are great for what I need.
Date published: 2019-12-24
Rated 4 out of 5 by LTorres from Comfortable and functional I ordered a size 4 which runs large but I decided to keep it because it has an adjustable belt in the back which solved the size issue.
Date published: 2019-08-31
Rated 3 out of 5 by MelodyL from Fit is off Fit is weird. Waist is too small. Crotch is too long. Even short length drags the ground. Usually buy the Saturday trail 2 convertible pants that fit much more appropriately but wanted to try something with moisture wicking. Material is ok and seems breathable but fit is preposterous.
Date published: 2019-08-12
Rated 5 out of 5 by AshTree from Extremely Comfortable I have just purchased these pants and they are really nice. This being my first pair of hiking pants, I don't have much to base these off of, but for the price, they are a wonderful option. These are perfect for both hiking and bouldering. Thinking about buying another color! 10/10
Date published: 2019-07-10
Rated 4 out of 5 by sophiautah from Nice pants, just didn't fit me These feel great and have all techs I wanted on a hiking pant, but I'm pretty skinny and was expecting size 2 to fit better since other reviews said they ran small. Sadly, at 5.3 and 105 lbs, they were still big on me.
Date published: 2019-07-03
Rated 5 out of 5 by jtnj from Love These! This is the 2nd pair I purchases - first one in tan. I had been searching for pants that zip off to shorts and am thrilled with these! There are also zippers vertically on the bottom so you don't need to remove your shoes.
Date published: 2019-06-26
Rated 5 out of 5 by Vamgolfer from Nice to Hike I love to start a hike when it's cool in the morning. By noon, I can unzip the legs and just keep on going. Great light weight pant/short.
Date published: 2019-06-22
Rated 1 out of 5 by Honeecakes from Sizing is awfully off! Really runs small, I definitely don't recommend these pants!Uncomfortably snug on the thighs too.
Date published: 2019-03-19
Rated 3 out of 5 by Ludoyu from odd fit I'm between a size 14 and 16 for pants. 14 are on the tight side and 16 need a belt to stay put. I also have athletic thighs. I ordered a size 16 to be on the safe side. I was worried when I put the pants on that they would not get past my thighs. They did, but the waist is so small that the button and its hole are about 3 inches apart from each other. The thigh area is super snugly (think sausage casing) . So I have to return them. Other than that, the material is super light and the fact that you can unzip the pant leg to get shorts is a wonderful idea for the light traveler. The leg was a bit long for me and a bit wider, but that wouldn't have bothered me. I'm sorry they didn't fit.

The Art of Flying
Alma Haser
German photographer Alma Haser combines the portraits pairs of twins by puzzling their images together. She first photographs each twin separately, then prints their corresponding photograph onto a 500 or 1000-piece puzzle. Finally, she switches every other piece to create two works that are an equal combination of each sibling.
Aren't you glad at least that the earthworms
Under the grass are ignorant, as they eat the earth,
Of the good they confer on us, that their silence
Isn't a silent reproof for our bad manners,
Our never casting earthward a crumb of thanks
For their keeping the soil from packing so tight
That no root, however determined, could pierce it?
Imagine if they suspected how much we owe them,
How the weight of our debt would crush us
Even if they enjoyed keeping the grass alive,
The garden flowers and vegetables, the clover,
And wanted nothing that we could give them,
Not even the merest nod of acknowledgment.
A debt to angels would be easy in comparison,
Bright, weightless creatures of cloud, who serve
An even brighter and lighter master.
Lucky for us they don't know what they're doing,
These puny anonymous creatures of dark and damp
Who eat simply to live, with no more sense of mission
Than nature feels in providing for our survival.
Better save our gratitude for a friend
Who gives us more than we can give in return
And never hints she's waiting for reciprocity.
"If I had nickel, I'd give it to you,"
The lover says, who, having nothing available
In the solid, indicative world, scrapes up
A coin or two in the world of the subjunctive.
"A nickel with a hole drilled in the top
So you can fasten it to your bracelet, a charm
To protect you against your enemies."
For his sake, she'd wear it, not for her own,
So he might believe she's safe as she saunters
Home across the field at night, the moon above her,
Below her the loam, compressed by the soles of her loafers,
And the tunneling earthworms, tireless, silent,
As they persist, oblivious, in their service.
Daniela Forti
Artist Daniela Forti lives and works in Chianti, Tuscany where she produces fantastic artworks composed of dripped glass. She refers to the pieces as "Jellyfish" because of the tentacles that are formed by hand through a melted glass fusion process.
Thomas Dambo
Danish artist and designer Thomas Dambo specializes in building family-friendly installations from upcycled materials. Check out his project, Happy City Birds, an ongoing series that incorporates street art and community development.
Paris-based design duo Hintlab creates a line of jewelry that are made to house small, interchangeable bricks, allowing their customers to customize their look Each piece of 3D-printed jewelry comes with a set of ten objects that can be either worn as a singular setting or stacked to create a multi-layer work (SO COOL)!
Jill Bliss
Artist and educator Jill Bliss lives on a small island in the Salish Sea, an intricate network of coastal waterways that stretches from British Columbia to the Pacific Northwest.t She creates artworks that span illustration, photography, and the temporary arrangement of local plants and mushrooms she refers to as Nature Medleys.

Men are being reminded that seeking help for mental health related issues is not a sign of weakness.
That's the message from New Zealand born rugby player and pundit Brent Pope who's encouraging others to "open up" during Men's Health Week.
The campaign runs all week until Sunday, and among its aims is to increase awareness of preventable health problems.
Brent Pope says it took him a long time to come to terms with his mental health problems.
It's Men's Health Week! When we talk about men's health we need to include mental health. #menshealth #menshealthweek #canada #male #men #canadians #canadianmen #MensHealthWeek2018 pic.twitter.com/O3ziIbJ9te— Arete HR (@AreteHR) June 11, 2018

09 May Ondrej & Ariel's "Love Story"
Posted at 14:47h in Design, Experienced Professional Vendor, Film, Love Story, Lubbock Wedding, Music, Uncategorized, Wedding, Wedding Film, Wedding Videographer
Keeping this secret throughout the whole preparation and interview was one of the hardest things we've had to do! Ondrej put everything together. It started out with tricking Ariel into thinking Contract Cre8ive was doing a Valentine's Day promotional video and needed love stories from a few different couples. We asked them questions about each other and their relationship. Watch the video to see their answers and the big reveal at the end! #czechmate

|The pointy toed shoes remind us of magic carpets and flowing gowns typical of the perception of Morocco which is not too far from reality...minus the flying carpet, of course.
Go figure. How would we have known?
Tomorrow morning at 8:00 am, Adil will come get us to lead us through the shortcut to Mohamed's awaiting new white SUV who will be our driver over the next three days as we explore the Atlas Mountains and the Sahara Desert.
|These shoes looked comfy in a soft leather, particularly the rounded toes styles. I'd certainly buy a pair if I had room.
Our hope is that we'll have no trouble adapting to the elevation. But,"they" say the elevation randomly has an effect on people, some with little consequence and others who become very ill with AMS (acute mountain sickness) when reaching altitudes above 8000 feet, 2400 meters.
At this point, with Samir making all the arrangements, we have no clue how high up we'll be traveling. Tomorrow, we'll find out how high up we are able to travel. We've decided it we become ill, we'll immediately return to a lower elevation.
This morning, it took me all of 10 minutes to pack with only the necessity to add the toiletries I'll use in the morning. My current minimal wardrobe makes packing easier than ever for such a short trip. The same goes for Tom who is also down to a skeleton clothing supply.
|This style of shoe is commonly worn by the locals, ideal for slippers but, there are very thin for walking any distances.
Over the past week or so we've begun booking flights for our 13 family members meeting us in Hawaii in December in less than eight months. With holiday season airline tickets selling quickly, we've worked fast and furiously to lock in the flights. So far, we've purchased nine tickets with four more to go. It will be a huge relief to have this part out of the way.
|These colorful bowls are often used for serving food. One might be concerned about lead content when unsure of the materials used in making these.
Right now, we're experiencing huge expenses: upcoming flights, cars, rental fees and our trip away for a few days, all of which add up quickly. No less than three or fours times a day, we consult our budget, adding new expenses as the occur, checking and rechecking.
|Outside the Medina, in the new city, we encountered many ice cream shops. The flavors are appealing to me (viewing purposes only). If Tom were to order some, most likely, he'd choose boring vanilla.
|These creamy swirls made my mouth water. Tom reminds me that I'm a food voyeur.
Although, at many times in our old lives, I'd promised myself I would create a budget and stick to it. Ha! How many of us have thought about doing that? Many. How many have actually done it? Few. Very few.
|Back at the Medina we made our way to the souks for our return walk.
In the event there is no post on Thursday, please understand that it may be due to a poor or non-existent WiFi signal at the hotel. We've been told the signal will be fine but as we know from experience, it may not be able to upload our site with photos. Even in the remote Masai Mara while on safari all day we were able to post with photos in the evening.
Hopefully, we'll "see" you tomorrow! Until then...
Photo from one year ago, April, 2013:
No photos were posted from one year ago today, April 9, 2013, our travel day from Belize to the cruise ship. Instead we're posting a photo from March 8, 2013 which we'd yet to repost.
|Gosh, we were tan! Now, we're pasty white without a single sunning day in months. This photo is from March 8, 2013 when we'd been in Placencia, Belize for over a month, after spending one hour in the warmth of the sun each day. For details of that date, please click here.

A Tractable Approach to Base Station Sleep Mode Power Consumption and Deactivation Latency
Onireti, Oluwakayode, Mohamed, Abdelrahim, Pervaiz, Haris and Imran, Muhammad (2018) A Tractable Approach to Base Station Sleep Mode Power Consumption and Deactivation Latency In: IEEE 29th Annual International Symposium on Personal, Indoor, and Mobile Radio Communications (PIMRC), 09-12 Sep 2018, Bologna, Italy.
A Tractable Approach to Base Station Sleep Mode Power Consumption and Deactivation Latency.pdf - Accepted version Manuscript
Download (202kB) | Preview
We consider an idealistic scenario where the vacation (no-load) period of a typical base station (BS) is known in advance such that its vacation time can be matched with a sleep depth. The latter is the sum of the deactivation latency, actual sleep period and reactivation latency. Noting that the power consumed during the actual sleep period is a function of the deactivation latency, we derive an accurate closed-form expression for the optimal deactivation latency for deterministic BS vacation time. Further, using this expression, we derive the optimal average power consumption for the case where the vacation time follows a known distribution. Numerical results show that significant power consumption savings can be achieved in the sleep mode by selecting the optimal deactivation latency for each vacation period. Furthermore, our results also show that deactivating the BS hardware is sub-optimal for BS vacation less than a particular threshold value.

Hockey funding
05 Dec 2017
The Australian Women's Ice Hockey League (AWIHL) has secured Victorian Government funding to host its final series in Docklands in March.
AWIHL commissioner Melissa Rulli said the finals would be played at O'Brien Group Arena on March 17-19.
"We thank the Minister of Sport for this funding," Ms Rulli said. "This assists in reducing the operating costs for the event in Melbourne, at the O'Brien Group Arena facility in Docklands."
The AWIHL is a national league that provides the highest level of competition played regularly by female competitors.

Kibera Women Series; Story 2
(This post is under the theme 'Project Sustainability', a theme under which I interact with various communities all over Eastern Africa and find out what they think about sustainable development in general. The mission is to find out how the various communities interact with the environment in which they reside.)
Twelve-year-old Millicent, who is my youngest interviewee so far, is a class six student at Kibera Primary School who while not at the school like on the 'Sunday' which I happened to have a little chat with her, sells vegetables at her mother's stall.
The young girl, who to me looks like would make an incredible runway fashion model in future, sits quietly as she watches me interview a one other Millicent, a mother of four, and then Grace before I eventually get to her. Young Millicent sits quietly and smiles shyly. When I approach her sit after, she smiles and tells me it's okay if I take a picture with her. I notice she sometimes hesitates when I ask her some questions, and she replies in Kiswahili. Then I realize that her problem is similar to mine. Were she to interview me in Kiswahili, I would reply in English as I am not confident in the language either. So to solve our little problem, I ask Jay, my companion on this mission, to ask her some of my Questions in Kiswahili so when she replies, Jay tells me the meaning in English.
On some occasions, we are on the same page as we both speak the same language and on others, Jay plays the legendary role of the interpreter.
When I ask Millicent what she thinks about the sanitation in this Kibera, she reveals that sometimes the place gets cleaned up but the people litter again (I did not know this). She also thinks that the litter and waste by the railway trail should be removed, as it looks, in her words, 'pathetic'.
Millicent concludes that in general, Kibera is a good place and I start to wonder whether she is saying this because it is where she has grown up, or because it possibly could be all she knows. But then I agree that she is right because in general, we all have a place where we grew up and much as it may not be the best in the eyes of the outsiders, who often victims us, we survived and memories of our childhoods are planted there.
Despite this, I am glad that young Millicent knows that the environment is not healthy and that something should be done about it.

Though the feature to record a phone call is a bit older, still, it is extremely getting convenient and popular these days. In case you just want to remember anything during a phone call, then this feature to record a call will make your job easier. At times, recording calls become mandatory either for legal reasons or just the situation demands. While there exist different ways to record a phone call on Android, not all of them feature high-quality recordings which you need as a business professional. Considering the importance of recording, here we will focus on some of the best methods to accomplish the task. Before trying to record any call on an Android smartphone, it is recommended to check if it is legal or not in your country.
The best and easy way for Android call recording is using the Google Voice app. Many Android users have this app installed on their phone as it allows to record calls for free. Well! Let me tell you, if you are using the Google Voice then you can probably record only the incoming calls. Below is the process to record a phone call on Android. Check here for 8 ways to free up storage space on Android.
Step 1: Visit Google Voice homepage.
Step 2: On the left end of the page, there is a menu with three vertical dots. Click on it to select settings.
Step 3: Head to calls section and enable the incoming calls option slider on the right.
Step 4: That's it! Now you can record any incoming calls with an ease just by pressing '4' on your keypad.
Also, clean your Android with these best Android cleaner apps.
Here is how to record a phone call in Android using Automatic call recorder.
Step 1: Download and install Automatic Call Recorder on your device.
Step 2: Once installed successfully, whenever you receive or make a call, the app automatically starts recording a call. In case, you don't wish to start automatic recording, then tap on three dots on the top right corner and go to settings-→record calls-→Off.
Step 3: The best part is you even have the option to choose the recording format and it is accessible from settings-→File Type.
The Automatic call recording can save up to 200 recordings for free. In case, you wish to save more on your phone, then you can prefer to buy Automatic call recording Pro version. To get more storage space, you need to kill Android apps running on the background.
Also read: Methods To Backup Your SMS Text Messages On Android.
Though the Google Voice is quite a simple process to record calls on Android, still it lacks in some features such as an automatic start of call recording when the call starts and more. Here comes the need for third-party apps such as the ACR which records calls without the knowledge of both users. This is the tool for you to secretly record a call. It is available in both free and premium version thus giving access to a handful of features. Moreover, the interface looks similar to Google's own interface thus making it easier to use and understand.
Step 1: Fire up ACR and accept terms and conditions. Also, it requests access to all things such as contacts, microphone, storage and phone. Click on OK.
Step 2: Once done, the app pushes a notification that it is enabled.
Step 3: As soon as you receive a call, the app will automatically start recording. You need not press anything to do so. It does this by default.
In the premium version, you have the option to select from the Auto and manual recording options. Apart from this, there exist several features that make it the best app to record a phone call on Android.
Also, read of how to control Android device from PC and Find And Delete Duplicate Files On Android.
Not all the smartphones feature the built-in call recording feature. Some of the Android smartphones from Lenovo, Xiaomi or ASUS have their own call recording applications integrated into the device by default. In case you have a built-in call recording feature then you should be able to access it directly from the phone call app.
As you receive a call or make a call, you should be able to find the record button. Tap on the record option to start recording calls on Android. Also, have a look at the top 5 best Android apps to find a stolen phone.

Amy Correia Carnival Love
Published Dec 01, 2000Amy Correia's debut, Carnival Love, sounds a little bit different from every other solo female with a guitar. She wrote some of the songs on a mandolin and a ukulele, but it doesn't come off as being quirky for the sake of. There's a little bit of Victoria Williams in her voice and a bit of Lucinda Williams in her songs, and the arrangements inject a lot of variety to the proceedings. The song's narratives tell interesting stories of interesting characters and it's hard to find too much to complain about - there's definitely some real talent on show here. (Capitol)

Responsible Travel Week Day #3. Today's challenge: Be attentive.
Topical Discussion: Passport to Parks and Protected Areas
Pay attention. Attention is vitality. It connects you with others. It makes you eager. Stay eager. – Susan Sontag
Anyone can pay attention for an instant. But what does it take to pay attention over time?
There's a reason we love to travel – the very act of spending time in distant lands increases our awareness of people and place. We can watch documentaries, read fiction, take in the avalanche of disaster news, but none strikes the chord the same way when we can say "I've been there."
Our attention to foreign places begin long before our journeys. For visitors, the planning stage can be as entertaining as the journey. We face the fact that there is so much we do not know! For locals, planning to receive visitors is fraught with expectation and uncertainty. What if the travelers do not speak the local language? What is the state of regional and national security? Visitors are deterred by roadblocks, earthquakes and volcanoes.
Personally, I enjoy returning to places perhaps moreso than visiting new places outright. This allows me to connect with locals and see how faces change over time (and by the way, letting others see how my face changes over time). I don't count the number of countries I've visited and I distrust people who tally.
Attention is a valuable resource for the conscious guest and conscious host alike.

"President Obama has gone on record telling the Hollywood crowd that they, with their great influence, vote and money will sway the outcome of November's vote. Is that where we stand now, with celebrities and entertainers expert in the world of make-believe setting the direction of our country? Wouldn't it be better to have serious, down-to-earth groups that include engineers set our country's compass with practical solutions? I, for one, would feel better about that!" Richard G. Weingardt, P.EWhy do celebrities have so much influence? I recall a sales pitch I heard many years ago, and asking myself, "Why is this presentation being made by a retired quarterback?" Do clothes fit better because a TV star sells them? Is a restaurant better because a movie star promotes it?
Three years ago, in "Sensible Stimulus", I expressed my disappointment in the lack of investment in infrastructure. Despite the poor condition of our water supply systems, dams, sewage systems, and other essential utilities, many of which already have exceeded their design lifespans and are near collapse, government officials and agencies continue to ignore them. Why is it the maintenance budget is so quickly cut?
Regardless who wins the election, we should demand more attention be paid to the services essential to our nation. The luxuries we enjoy and accept as necessities cannot exist if the power goes out.

Hi all,
I needed to share this with any of you who are fed up of trying everything under the sun with no results for acne scarring.
Also need to say I've suffered from varying levels acne for 15 years (incredibly bad in recent years, which has mostly subsided since going Rt4, but my scarring was so bad it still looked like I had a face full of acne). I thought Rt4 was clearing it quickly but recently got fed up and just wanted it GONE! So I've been on the hunt for cures - and I found one.
Epsom Salts.
Note: I personally have combination skin, with some areas being very dry and some on the oilier side.
Wash your face with a soap-free wash - I use QV but most people like Cetaphyl. Get any oils off your skin so it has a clean base.
For the face, mix a tablespoon or two of Epsom Salts into warm/hot water so it melts (you can melt it completely or partially to leave a 'scrub' consistency). And gently apply it to the skin - I put it everywhere, I even put it on acne-affected areas on my chest and back (which are clearing after 3 days of application - I've struggled with that for about a year). I usually end up mixing about 4 to 6 tablespoons of Epsom Salts and just put it everywhere I want to (often just do it in the shower, once or twice a day).
On my face I've also mixed it into a paste and used it as a mask for as long as I wanted (think it came to about 20 mintues) - it goes stiff like a clay mask but doesn't leave any residue or contain any nasties.
So once I've applied it I leave it on for anywhere from 20 seconds to 20 minutes (depending on what time or patience I have).
I use Epsom Salts twice daily on my face, chest, back, shoulders, even legs (which reduced my dry skin).
I then pat the area dry and apply the second step. This step is for anyone with oily skin/over-production of sebum. Anyone with dry skin I don't recommend this for you.
Sea Salt in water inside a spray bottle.
My spray bottle holds about 2 cups of water, I put in around 2-3 teaspoons of Sea Salt and shook it up (I initially used slightly warm water so it would melt).
Any areas I'm still lightly breaking out or have over-production of sebum (which can lead to breakouts) I just spray a light coating over the area. This bottle method is awesome for anyone with acne on the back, as you can just reach behind and actually hit the affected area all you like. It's also good for applying evenly without abrasive contact on the skin. (On the face, I often spray it then use a clean towel to 'pat off' the water - I find this doesn't dry out the skin too much, as the evaporation of water with the salt can lead to the skin really drying out and feeling itchy).
So applying the Sea Salt via spray bottle will leave a light dusting of salt on the skin, which usually comes off during the day. But it just stops the skin pumping out anymore of that thin layer of acne-causing oil (annoys me so much!). Anywhere that you don't want salt sitting for too long, just pat with a clean, dry towel. It has the same affect without being too harsh/drying on the skin.
As I said it's been 3 days -- The process so far has actually been really enjoyable. Epsom Salts are also well-known as a miracle treatment for muscle relaxation. If you put 2 -3 tablespoons into a bath it draws out all your stress and can also soak your acne affected areas (haven't tried this yet but probably will tonight because it sounds incredible). I've also done a warm foot-bath with Epsom Salts which is something I'll probably treat myself to weekly forever. It was so relaxing.
I woke up this morning and checked out my skin... There's areas on my face I haven't seen as a normal skin colour in years, and years. It just looks like normal healthy skin... It's drawn out all the redness and cleaned out my pores so it just looks calm and clean. This just doesn't happen in my world! So I really had to share this with you.
Please, try it. I bought a 1 Kilogram box of Epsom Satls for $3.50 from the supermarket. It has other uses as well which are mentioned on the box, but you can also Google it's uses. It's very awesome stuff.
One side note - it is known to draw out toxins, so you may initially experience a light breakout in any areas that have needed clearing. My breakout consisted of one small spot on my chin below my lip, it's the type that will be gone in a couple of days, I'm really not upset about it whatsoever.
The affect it's had on my stubborn acne I've struggled with for months, and in some places years, it has just calmed it and reduced it, and I can tell it's slowly breaking it down and will clear in time. I'm guessing here but it kind of feels like give this a couple of weeks and my skin will be clear.
I am going to update here when it does fully clear, or if anything changes. I'll also post before and after pics if the magic continues.
If you try it let me know how you go! Thanks guys :)

Thank you so much for sharing! My boyfriend has been dealing with acne scarring for a long time but never knew there was anything he could do about it.
I will definitely try this out with him, thank you again for sharing your remedy!
Thanks, that's pretty cool. I bought some epsom salt last week for baths but haven't used any yet. I never thought to apply it in the way you described. I will definitely be experimenting! I love homemade concoctions like this.
Oh, cool! Do you if there are any negative side effects or health related "raw" issues that are due to using epsom salts? Like are they recommended or recommended to avoid? Just wondering :)
I couldn't tell you Wildchild, I'd have to research that but very good question! I'll have a look today and I'll let you know if I find anything :)
As an update I have seen considerable improvements with my skin. I now alternate epsom salt "masks" and sea salt "masks".
The sea salt masks I make in the same way - melt half a tsp in half a cup of warm water and apply it to the face, let it dry, wash it off and kind of rub it in as I wash it. I cuts through the extra sebum production and just dries it out enough for your skin to be "normal" rather than "oily". My scarring is still there but nothing like it was. It's nearly gone! :)
Hi Dusty :) would love to see before after pics if you'd feel comfortable sharing. I spent 3 months in southeast asia this year and my skin went crazy! I've been using the epsom salts and have seen some improvements but you know how it is...I wanted perfect skin yesterday! Thanks :)
Epsom salt baths are great. I have about 90kg of the stuff in my bathroom! You'll want to use more than a few tablespoons though, more like 3-4cups per bath. I've never tried applying it like a mask, sounds like an idea!
That's really interesting. Thanks for sharing :) I've recently been reading a lot about magnesium (epsom salts are magnesium sulfate) and it seems there are a lot of different health benefits there. I wonder if you were a tad deficient in magnesium, and by applying epsom salts to your skin, it helped raise your levels and boosted your skin's ability to recover? Normally I'm all about getting my nutrients through the foods we eat. But it seems most commercially-farmed soils nowadays are depleted in magnesium, so in turn it makes it tough to get magnesium through our food, even if we're eating heaps of fruits and veges. I don't have too many issues with acne or scarring. But I've been applying a concentrated magnesium salt to my skin for the past two months to see if it would help with my heart palpitations. It seems to have worked quite well. Here's a link to the magnesium I used (it's magnesium chloride, which is one of the best forms to use): http://www.echolife.com.au/products/ancient-minerals-magnesium-oil....
Perhaps you could also experiment with that and see if it has a similar effect on healing your skin? If you do, let me know how it goes, and if you experience any other health benefits like better sleep or better athletic performance :)

Right now, Apple is reliant on Intel for the processors used across its Mac lineup, but that is perhaps set to change in the future as Apple works to transition over to Arm-based chips similar to the A-series chips used in its iPhones and iPads.
Arm vs. Intel
Right now, Apple uses x86 chips from Intel in all of its Mac products, while its iPhones and iPads use Arm-based chips. x86 chips and Arm chips are built using different architectures.
Intel's chips are CISC (Complex Instruction Set Architecture) while Arm chips are RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computer). As these names suggest, RISC instructions are essentially smaller and less complex than CISC instructions, which means Arm processors require less power and are more efficient carrying out computing tasks.
Arm chips have historically been seen as not powerful because x86 chips are designed for more robust desktop machines while Arm chips are designed more for lower power applications like mobile devices. Arm has historically focused on power efficiency, while Intel has historically focused on maximizing performance.
Ditching Intel
Apple has been using Intel's chips in its Mac lineup since 2006 after transitioning away from PowerPC processors. Because Apple is using Intel technology, Apple is subject to Intel's release timelines and chip delays.
Over the course of the last several years, there have been multiple instances where Intel has seen significant chip delays that have undoubtedly impacted Apple's product plans. Swapping over to its own house-made chips would allow Apple to release updates on its own schedule and with perhaps more frequent technology improvements.
Apple would also be able to differentiate its devices from competing products with chips designed by its own internal teams, introducing even tighter integration between hardware and software.
Apple's Arm-Based Chips for iOS Devices
Apple uses an Arm-based architecture for its A-series chips in the iPhone and iPad, and each year, those chips get faster and more efficient. In fact, when introducing the latest A12 and A13 chips, Apple has made it a point to emphasize that these chips are faster than many Intel-based chips in competing devices.
The 2018 iPad Pro models with A12X chips, for example, are close in speed to the 2018 15-inch MacBook Pro models.
With Apple closing the speed gap between Arm and x86, there's no reason why many of the company's notebook machines (and even desktop machines) couldn't be powered by Arm-based chips instead of standard Intel chips.
Apple's A-series chip packages also include custom-built GPUs, Secure Enclave, memory and storage controllers, machine learning processors, Image Signal Processing, custom encryption, and more, all of which could also be applied to Mac processors.
Arm Chips in Current Macs
The MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, iMac Pro, Mac mini and upcoming Mac Pro are already equipped with Arm processors, in the form of the T1 and T2 chips that power the Touch Bar and other features in these machines.
The T2 chip in particular integrates several components, including the system management controller, image signal processor, SSD controller, and a Secure Enclave with a hardware-based encryption engine in addition to powering the Touch Bar and Touch ID.
Arm Benefits
Bringing Arm chips to a Mac could bring efficiency and battery life improvements without sacrificing speed, with Apple also perhaps able to cut down on the size of some of the internal components, thus perhaps allowing for slimmer devices.
An Arm-based MacBook might not need a fan, for example, much like an iPad. Apple's iPads also have superior battery life, another feature that could be brought to the Mac lineup.
Apple's Rumored Work on Arm-Based Chips
Rumors suggest that Apple employees are working on an initiative codenamed "Kalamata" to make iPhones, iPads, and Macs work more seamlessly together.
One aspect of this involves new custom-built Mac chips that are designed by Apple much like its current iPhone and iPad chips.
Apple eventually wants developers to be able to create an app that can run across all Apple devices, and along with custom-built chips, Apple has also been working on this on the software side with Mac Catalyst. Mac Catalyst lets developers port their iPad apps over to the Mac App Store with minimal effort.
When Will Apple Release an Arm-Based Mac?
Apple is said to be aiming to transition to its own Arm-based chips starting in 2020, though the transition period could take some time.
It's possible one Mac line, such as the MacBook Air, could see an update first ahead of the rest of the Mac family.
