El jat o afnet es un tocado usado por los miembros de la nobleza del Antiguo Egipto. Más sencillo que el nemes, que puede complementarlo, carece de elementos decorativos laterales, no tiene ni pliegues ni rayas, y cuelga abierto por la espalda.

Historia
Considerado el primer tocado egipcio, el jat data, al menos, del reinado del faraón Den, de la Dinastía I. En una tablilla de marfil encontrada en Abidos, Den, llevando un jat, golpea a su enemigo con una maza.

Otros faraones, como Hatshepsut llevaban el jat, para determinados rituales.

Se ha encontrado alguno, en lino, en diversas excavaciones arqueológicas.

Ha aparecido en pares de estatuas de madera de guardianes, uno tocado con el nemes y otro con el jat, en las entradas a las cámaras sepulcrales en varias tumbas reales del Imperio Nuevo, como es el caso de Tutankamon. También se han encontrado restos en la momia de este rey.

Simbolismo
Se le ha visto como símbolo de rejuvenecimiento del rey, pudiendo representar, en dualismo, la parte nocturna del ciclo solar, frente a la parte diurna, el nemes y, posteriormente, como la representación del ka real.

Se le asocia también a Isis y a Neftis, como diosas dolientes de Osiris.

Coronavirus Testing In Oklahoma: Health Departments Announce Van Testing Program
Thursday, April 30th 2020, 10:40 pm
By: Barry Mangold
Oklahoma Set To Ramp Up COVID-19 Testing
OKLAHOMA CITY -
In the past month, the rate of new COVID-19 cases has dropped significantly, according to Gov. Kevin Stitt.
At a press conference Thursday, Stitt said that the daily rate of positive tests has dropped to 5.67% from more than 10% at the beginning of the month.
"That is a great sign that we're having a lower percentage come back positive," Stitt said.
Several businesses will be allowed to open Friday as part of the governor's Open Up & Recover Safely (OURS) plan.
In May, Stitt said the state will work to test 2% of Oklahoma's population, which is about 90,000 people. The state has tested more than 65,000 since the beginning of the pandemic earlier this year.
Oklahoma Health Commissioner Gary Cox also announced a public-private partnership with Blue Cross Blue Shield, the OKC-County Health Department and the Tulsa Health Department. The healthcare provider will allow the state to use nine of its "Caring Vans" to bolster accessibility to virus tests in different areas of the state.
"We found it was a match made in heaven. (The Oklahoma Department of Health) had tests, we had mobile capabilities. And now we're able to help communities across our state," said Dr. Joseph Cunningham, the president of Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Oklahoma.
The vans, which are normally used for immunizations and other screenings, will be stationed in areas where testing accessibility and transportation are a challenge. One van will be placed in state senate district 48, which covers northeast Oklahoma City. The locations for the other eight vans were not yet determined, according to an OKHD spokesperson, pending conversations with community leaders.
The area's state senator, George Young, said the vans will help bridge the gap of health care inequality.
"What hurts us is what we don't know. that's why I'm thankful that we have access to testing to get testing to people," Young said at the press conference Thursday.

Salinas mayoral candidate spurred by homeless…
NewsElection
Salinas mayoral candidate spurred by homeless issue
Pandya
By D. Lee Taylor and Monterey Herald |
Salinas >> What began two years ago as a squabble between a Salinas merchant and the city over a tax increase to fund public safety has escalated into a battle at the ballot box.
The merchant, Amit Pandya, recently announced he is challenging current Salinas Mayor Joe Gunter's second term in part because of what he describes as the city's failure to stem the tide of homelessness in Salinas.
Pandya, who has been a familiar face in the Oldtown Salinas Association, serving as president from 2011-12, said in an interview that he became disenchanted by the direction the city is taking to address the homeless problem, particularly in the Chinatown district.
The approach to dealing with the problem could become the nexus of this mayoral election. Pandya lobbied for a 1-cent special needs sales tax that would be focused entirely on increasing public safety. Gunter and the city acknowledged that need but asked voters for a general sales tax that addresses additional needs, such as fire protection and recreation opportunities in disadvantaged neighborhoods.
After a court decision sidelined Pandya's measure, voters in Salinas approved Gunter's tax plan, Measure G, in November 2014.
Pandya said the homeless come into the downtown's shopping district and aggressively panhandle and steal food from restaurants. From his perspective, there is not enough of a police presence in the shopping district to dissuade such behavior.
Pandya said he would also spend money on mental health and addiction specialists instead of building a new police station and "bulldozing" homeless camps in regular sweeps.
"Where are the homeless supposed to go?" Pandya said. "Where's the compassion?"
But Gunter bristles at the accusation the city is not compassionate to those in Chinatown.
"We work with each resident by having folks from public health and social services (departments) asking, 'What can we do to get you off the street?'" Gunter said. "Just this week we've taken five families out of there and placed them into housing."
The sweeps, Gunter said, are needed for the sake of public health. With human feces and drug paraphernalia rampant, an outbreak of disease is a real danger, he said.
"The homeless aren't mad at us; they know we are there to help them," Gunter said.

A decade after its release, the astonishing opener to Patrick Ness's Chaos Walking trilogy still resonates. Celebrate ten years of this groundbreaking book with a beautiful anniversary hardcover edition.
Todd Hewitt is the only boy in a town of men. Ever since the settlers were infected with the Noise germ, Todd can hear everything the men think, and they can hear everything he thinks. Todd is just a month away from becoming a man, but in the midst of the cacophony, he knows that the town is hiding something from him — something so awful that Todd is forced to flee with only his dog, whose simple, loyal voice he hears too. With hostile men from the town in pursuit, the two stumble upon a strange and eerily silent creature: a girl. Who is she? Why wasn't she killed by the germ like all the other females on New World? Propelled by Todd's gritty narration, readers are in for a white-knuckle journey in which a boy on the cusp of manhood must unlearn everything he knows in order to figure out who he truly is.

THE FIRST THING you find out when yer dog learns to talk is that dogs don't got nothing much to say. About anything.
Excerpted from "The Knife of Never Letting Go"
Copyright © 2018 Patrick Ness.
Excerpted by permission of Candlewick Press.
Crack dramatic and comic timing… unforgettable… penetrating… The cliffhanger ending is as effective as a shot to the gut.
The emotional, physical, and intellectual drama is well crafted and relentless...Tension [and] suspense…are palpable throughout, mitigated by occasional moments of welcome humor.
Todd's world is a fascinating one, and the psychological and sociological impact of being unable to shut out others' thoughts—or hide your own—is creatively explored … Todd's colloquial voice is by turns defensive, belligerent, innocent, and desperate; the strength of his point of view and the subtle world-building contained in it make this series opener as promising as it is provocative.
Todd and Viola…are realistically portrayed as kids frequently overwhelmed and terrified by their circumstances…The nicely balanced mix of coming-of-age novel, science-fiction adventure, and dystopic thriller will make this an appealing choice for a range of genre readers…still unsolved mysteries, carefully developed by Ness and left at tantalizing moments of resolution, guarantee anticipation for the next two.
—The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
Skillfully structured narrative creates an elegant mixture of action, dialogue, and dark, dsytopian pathos.
Gives us a glimpse of the depth of evil in our hearts…the ending of this book is absolutely chilling and leaves the reader begging for more.
This riveting SF thriller is action-packed, with edge-of-your-seat chase scenes, a monstrous villain who just won't die, and moments of both anguish and triumph…Emotionally intense…haunting page-turner.
—KLIATT
Perhaps the most impressive of the recent crop [of dystopian YA]
A read-alone, stay-up-way-too-late book for older readers looking for the combination of being scared and being stirred to gallop to the end.
The powerful, gut-clenching cliffhanger will definitely leave you wanting more.
—Orlando Examiner online
Filled with action, this title will definitely be pleasing to those loving dystopian novels or just looking for a good, if not a tad bit strange, adventure.
—A Patchwork of Books
The Knife of Never Letting Go 4.4 out of 5 based on 0 ratings. 359 reviews.
This is what more young adult books should be like. This book has it all. It has a fast-paced and exhiliraring plot that keeps the reader on their toes. It has the complex characters that you will cry for, be scared for, and love. But most importantly, this book is thought-provoking. This type of book is what our kids need. Not some shallow, cliche-ridden vampire book. Read this book.

In an all-male world, Todd is the youngest member of settlers of an unnamed planet where the thoughts of all living creatures are broadcast 24/7. "The Noise," as it is referred to, contributes to the paranoia and mistrust of a disfunctional society. Todd sets off an adventure with a noise-less female companion and the action is non-stop. Comic relief is offered in the form of Todd's trusty canine companion. Truly one of the most original books I've read in years. Appropriate for boys and girls alike, recommended for mature readers, not because of any objectionable content, but because of some intellectually complex themes.
Hawesky More than 1 year ago
The Knife of Never Letting Go, was a book that pulled you in from the start, I stayed up way-to-late, cuddling with my sheets, trying to read through meal times just so I could finish the book, and trying to read through my tears! I was and still am inseperable from this book! I find it amazing when an authors words can get such a meaningful and emotional pull out of you.
Very original. The only part that is confusing is the beginning, but for good reason. They do not explain much of the terminology but as you read you grow to understand it without noticing. I found that when I was reading and another character popped up in the book who did not know much themselves I was thinking, "What do you mean you don't know what Noise is?". This itself is a very cool experience. I also found it didn't follow many of the chiches that make many books predictable. In fact, those chiches led me to many suprizes while reading. This book will keep the reader interested with well built characters, intrigueing concepts, and an adventure that will keep you guessing till the end. Definitely a book that deserves more attention and fans. To those interested in buying be aware it is in first person and tends to make you think by not explaining itself all the time. Thought provocative and fun, once you pick up The Knife of Never Letting Go you wont be able to let go.
PlumPudding More than 1 year ago
This book is amazing. It challenges the YA genre, in my opinion, because of all its intense emotion and tragedy and OH this book just gave me so many feelings. It's hard to organize my thoughts after having finished it. There were some things that rubbed me the wrong way, as much as I loved and enjoyed this book. One was the voice, which I understand why it's written that way, but it's to such a great extent that it seems a bit gimmicky to me. Since they're his thoughts, and thoughts don't always mean words, why were words misspelled in his thoughts? I get the fact that he couldn't read, but it's easily understood without misspelled words in the descriptions. I'm being a bit nitpicky, sure, but it just made me cringe every time I saw the word "tho" instead of "though." And the fact that the baddies were ALWAYS there and always, ALWAYS, a step ahead just started to annoy me after a while. How many times can one man pop out at them and how many times before it becomes less shocking and more irksome? Okay, I'm done being critical because overall I loved this book. It was definitely a roller coaster of emotion. I cried and I smiled and laughed and shook my fists in frustration. Patrick Ness definitely is not afraid to censor violence and emotion but that didn't make the novel seem like one of those "violent without a clear reason as to why they're violent other than the fact that it's VIOLENCE and that's what's supposed to happen to make it seem mature, right?" Its violence was because of emotion. It seemed so gritty and real and everything was done for a reason and it all broke my heart about a thousand times. I immediately went to the library to check out the other two in the trilogy. I could not put this book down and I'm already starting into the second installment.
A superb book with the best cast of characters I have ever seen. The plot is exciting and surprising and it keeps you guessing. I compare every book I have ever read against this series and Chaos Walking beats it every time.
If you liked the Hunger Games, Divergent, or Breathe, you will probably enjoy this book. This series follows an (almost) innocent boy who finds something he wasn't supposed to. Now he is on the run and facing danger everywhere. The story is very interesting and original. There is also great character development and you don't always know what will happen next. There are a few intentional grammatical and spelling errors in the book. Like I said, this is intentional because the main character isn't very educated. There are 2 more books in the Chaos Walking series.

This book starts on its own, but if you read the short story that preceeds it, the intensity is really increased. Tha characters are very well developed and I, who hates paying for a book, just had to get the next. And the next. To me it seems that there is even room for a following series,
4.5 stars. I had a hard getting started in this book or otherwise I would have given this a 5 star rating because once I got started I could not put it down. The grammar is hard to get used to and I think that is why I had problems in the beginning and once I got used to that I was hooked. I won't review the whole premise of the book as others seem to do that but survival of the main characters will keep you reading to the end of the book. The whole idea of another New World and where and why they survived are intriguing subjects to me and Patrick Ness does an excellent job pushing me forward in the book. Talking animals (yes, I know that sounds crazy) but Richard makes them such a realistic part of the story that they blend right in. I really enjoyed the cliff hangers at the end of each chapter. Great job Patrick! But really, how was a girl supposed to go to sleep after an ending like that? Huh?? Out to get Chaos Walking: Book 2 The Ask and the Answer Good quote: "I think maybe everybody falls.".....I think the asking is whether we get back up again."

Every summer at school we have to read a book for English and write a review and do an assignment on it. Most of the time we don't have a choice of what book we have to read. But this summer we had a list to chose from, and on the list was Patrick Ness's The Knife of Never Letting Go. I chose to read this book without any knowledge of what it was about, or where it took place. But after reading it, i was so happy with myself for choosing an amazing book! Mr.Ness's style of writting is a breath of fresh air, with his true to life spelling of words. If anybody asked me for a recomondation for a book, i would plainly tell them that this book is the #1 book they should read. It teaches important leasons, shares emotions, and touches your emotions like you never thought would be possible. In simpler words, i love this book.
smashleyy More than 1 year ago
I read this book because I found a review that said it was "what the hunger games could have been". While I wholeheartedly disagree, I found the plot and characters to be thoughtfully developed with a new spin on a genre that has recently been muddled with subpar trilogies. With that said I am excited to see where book two takes me!

Very unique storyline.
On a far-flung world newly settled by humanity, twelve-year-old Todd Hewitt of Prentisstown is a boy on the brink of becoming a man.
When settlers came to this world, they found it already inhabited by aliens known as the Spackle, and a war was waged against them to colonize the planet. Now, almost twenty years after the first settlers landed, the world is low-tech but free of the "spacks." However, they left behind them the "Noise germ," a chemical contaminant that causes all the men who come in contact with it to broadcast their thoughts for everyone's hearing--and kills all the infected women.
On the eve of his thirteenth birthday, Todd has never seen a woman. He was the last child born in the settlement before his mother succumbed to the Noise germ and died, and now he's the only boy left in the village of Prentisstown, all the others having turned thirteen and been proclaimed men. Now, with Todd's birthday approaching, the entire town is anxious, and Todd can hear it.
The men of the town are keeping something from him; although they can hear each other think, it's possible to learn techniques that allow one to control the information that others can hear. Ben and Cillian, his adoptive guardians and old friends of his parents, are both worried for him, though Todd doesn't know why.
And then, with less than a month to go until Todd's thirteenth birthday, he stumbles across a secret that no boy is meant to know and all men have been forced to forget, a secret about the history of his world and the lies he's been told. Todd has no choice but to escape from the town he's called his home and the people who have been his parents, on the run from something more terrible than the alien Spackle, and more familiar.
The sheer intensity of the story Ness tells kept me reading straight through this book, despite its length and occasionally hefty prose. Todd's first-person, present-tense narration has an inexorable pull that places the reader within the context of the story and keeps you turning the pages. The plot is full of twists and turns, the world is immaculately and innovatively crafted, and the characters' pain and longing seeps from the pages.
My largest complaint with this book was the way in which it ended, without resolving some major issues that had been significant throughout the story. It is the first book in a series, so this sense of incompleteness may be slightly forgiven, but I felt like I'd spent the entire book hurtling forward into empty space only to be slammed at the last minute against a brick wall.
That said, I'd recommend THE KNIFE OF NEVER LETTING GO to anyone who enjoys dystopia or slightly darker fiction, and I know I can't wait to see what happens next!

I've never read a book like this one before – a different way of speaking, different people, different places, a different world. It's difficult to review this book without spoiling it, but let me try. Todd, the protagonist, is surrounded by Noise, which means that everyone can hear everything else thoughts. Literal constant mind-reading. It's a tough place to survive in, isn't it? No privacy, no secrets…such a world is unimaginable. Viola is a spot of Silence in the Noise. Beauty among the ugly terrors of Prentisstown. She's like a breath of fresh air amidst smoke. Her presence is what helps them all stay alive. And Manchee, the dog. The most wonderful character in the book (*sniffles*). This was the character I was most emotionally attached to. Dogs are the most friendly, loyal, lovable beings on the planet (*furiously wipes tears away*). Fleeing a place is easy in most books, but not this one. How do you run away when a hundred people can hear your thoughts and know exactly where you're going? How can you hope to stay alive when your enemies already know your next move?

While this first novel in Ness' Chaos Walking trilogy is a solid example of the genre, after reading the plethora of other titles that have redefined post-apocalyptic YA fiction in the past 20 years or so, it's tough to get excited about this one. It's set on another planet (New World), narrated by a goofy, likeable boy (Todd) on the brink of manhood (which he never lets the reader forget). He is forced to flee the home he shares with his two adoptive fathers (Ben and Cillian—possibly gay) in Prentisstown, a settlement ruled by a mysteriously scary mayor. There are no women in Prentisstown (since they were all killed off—allegedly—by a native virus that caused men to contract the Noise, a condition that permits them all to hear each other's thoughts). There's a lunatic preacher (Aaron) chasing Todd, presumably with the intent to kill him. As Todd flees, he encounters Viola, a strange woman with unknown origins. And his talking dog Manchee accompanies him on the journey. Todd's quest can be easily mapped to the archetypal hero of Joseph Campbell's monomyth—as can most heroes in contemporary science fiction (whether YA or not). But there's little here that's original or particularly intriguing, especially the primary extended metaphor of Todd's impending loss of innocence, which Ness handles rather clumsily in an effort to give it thematic heft. I am, however, interested enough to read the next book in the trilogy, after which I hope I have not reached the point of genre exhaustion so that I might be able to read the third and final volume.
I liked the concept. That's why I bought this book. Effing sad. (Only I didn't say effing)

An interesting young adult sci-fi/fantasy about what it would be like to live on a world where everyone can hear everyone else's thoughts. It would be noisy. And pretty horrible.The teenage protagonist, Todd, is the youngest person in his town...because all the women died shortly after his birth, supposedly from the same disease that made all the men's private inner lives blaringly public. But there is a dark secret surrounding these events. How is it possible for anything to be secret when he knows what everyone else is thinking all the time? Because "men lie...and they lie to theirselves most of all." This psychological insight, which the author explores in some depth, is one of the most interesting aspects of the story, which follows Todd's uncovering of this secret---culminating in a confrontation in a church behind a waterfall (which reminded me of the ice cathedral on the glacier in Ibsen's Brand).There are some good characters here, though too many of them meet violent ends. The book is pretty brutal in general, even over the top, and the sadistic psychotic preacher just won't die!! Still, the story held my attention enough that I'm excited to read the sequel. Three and a half stars.

I really liked The Knife of Never Letting Go, but I also had some major reservations about the setup and some actions and events along the way.This book was extremely graphically violent in a few spots. This wasn't gratuitous, but was deeply embedded in both the plot of the book and the point I saw the book as trying to make-- questions of what does it mean to be a man.I would have been a little less bothered by this in print than audio.Overall, I felt the audio was very well done. I had only one issue with it, but I think it affected my enjoyment. It's odd, because this normally doesn't bother me.I had a lot of difficulty keeping a 12 year old (or 14 year old, if you adjust to our years) boy in my mind. The narrator brought to mind someone older, probably 16-18 years old. I think the story is different when enacted by an older teen.Overall, this is a very powerful book, with an interesting story and raising questions I'll be thinking about long after finishing the book.

In the settlement of Prentisstown the men¿s and animals thoughts are broadcast, there are no women and Todd Hewitt is the only boy. He has been told that the original inhabitants released a virus during the war that killed the women and broadcast men¿s thoughts. When he runs into a pocket of `quiet¿, which leads him to a girl, his world tips, then turns completely upside down. It soon becomes apparent that almost everything he has been told is a lie.Forced to flee for his life with the girl(Viola), and his dog (Manchee, a gift from his `parents¿, that he did not want), Todd starts to learn the truth.This is very dark story. Which means I hated it, but I also loved it, part of me wants a happy ending, part of me wants to see characters overcome conflict. Most of the characters are well drawn, there are some caricatures, but even these are not buffoonish and have personality. There is not a happy ending, it has a cliffhanger ending that will I hope lead perfectly into the next book.

¿The knife of never letting go¿ was one of the most amazing books I¿ve ever read. I really thought I wouldn¿t like it and when I got it I was even more disappointed about its size! I decided to open up to a new genre and I¿m so happy I did. This book was so powerful and breathtakingly exciting. I found myself going through a stream of emotions one minute I¿m happy then the next I¿m confused or angry, sad, joyful, hopeful or despaired with every page, all 479 of them. I mean just when Todd and Viola see hope at the end of the road, their hope is stomped on by a president who won¿t rest until he gets his way. I need to read the next book to find out if viola is alright because through their journey of coming to the rescue when the other needs them the most, arguing and walking, I can really see that they are in love. Viola and Todd changed each others lives and did everything they could to keep the other alive in the different obstacle they faced. I also think that they learned a lot about one another and the world they live in. I recommend this book to everyone who enjoys adventurous and dangerous books. I can¿t wait to read the next book!

This dystopian sf YA has gotten attention for its inventive setup¿a planet where all human men and all animals can hear each other¿s thoughts (can¿t stop hearing them, actually), known as Noise, and all the women died, both, our protagonist tells us, as the result of alien bioweapons in a war the aliens lost, or anyway lost worse than the humans did. Todd is a boy, the last boy in Prentisstown, and one day he goes into the swamp and finds something incredible: a girl. The long words are deliberately misspelled as part of Todd¿s first person POV, something I didn¿t cotton to, and the book is pretty unrelentingly grim. It is a great premise, and I can see why people would like it, but when it ended on a huge cliffhanger I couldn¿t make myself want to read further.

The story line was enough to get me hooked, but I found myself constantly annoyed with the stupidity of the main character. I did finish it, and would love to read the rest of the series if not for my disbelief that he (the main character) will have any personal growth.

I actually really enjoyed this book. I went ahead and got the rest of the series in eBook format. I'm looking forward to getting some more answers.

I really loved this book! It was recommended to me and I wasn't sure I'd like it at first, but it quickly grew on me. The action really is non-stop, our hero Todd doesn't stop moving from page one onwards. The story is extremely unique and clever, the characters are believable and strong in the face of adversity. It's a really enrapturing read, I was desperate to know the answers to many questions I had.It's the first book in a trilogy, but it doesn't fall into the trap I have found with some first-in-series-books where its all setup and no action. While this does perfectly set up how the story will unfold, this book is a stand-alone exciting, fulfilling read. Can't wait to see the next two books under my Christmas tree :)

Ness logically extends current trends of fundamentalist religious thought, anti-intellectualism, and the deluge of noise that comes with our information age. His result is a believably backward, tiny, and oppressive society. Todd Hewitt's narration of his journey out of ignorance is realistically voiced in a soulful but simple-minded dialect, complete with misspellings and morphed grammatical rules. The second half of this first installment in a series both drags and flies -- events happen quickly but the inclusion of Todd's repetitive thoughts gum up the works. Seems inspired by Pullman's "Golden Compass" series to me, right down to the cliffhanger ending.

It will also support the government in the fight against cancer and diabetes-related diseases, by building the capacity among Burundi doctors to enable them to treat them here in Burundi, and thus, this will help ease the burden of families that have so far had to support health care abroad in case of such diseases.

New MacBook Pro 2021 rumor, Claim UHS-II SD card reader, RAM capped at 32 GB
According to New MacBook Pro speculations from Apple-centric YouTuber Luke Miani, the forthcoming MacBook Pro will feature a UHS-II SD card reader with reading speeds up to three times quicker than the previous MacBook Pro and MacBook Air models' UHS-I card readers. However, Miani alleges that the next New MacBook Pro will be limited to 32 GB of MacBook ram, citing insider information.
The rumor mill for the New MacBook Pro is churning at full speed, and YouTuber Luke Miani is adding to the pile. According to Miani, the next MacBook Pro will have a nice feature that Apple pros have long requested, but it will come with a caveat that Cupertino aficionados may claim to cripple the computer.
These claims were made in Gurman's 'Power On' newsletter, which also stated that the fall will be a busy time for Apple product news. That makes sense, given that Apple typically announces its new iPhone lineup in September.
New MacBook Pro 2021 rumor, capped at 32 GB of MacBook ram
According to a New MacBook Pro rumor, Apple's upcoming redesigned MacBook Pro models (rumored to be the MacBook Pro 14-inch (2021) and New MacBook Pro 16-inch (2021) will have a memory configuration of 32GB MacBook ram.
This comes from Apple leaker Luke Miani on YouTube, who believes that the upcoming laptops will be limited to 32GB of storage, rather than the 64GB that previous speculation (from the likes of Bloomberg's Mark Gurman) suggested.
Miani claims that the upcoming MacBook Pro will have a UHS-II SD card slot in a YouTube video and an AppleTrack article published today. While many have speculated that an SD card reader will return to the MacBook Pro lineup with this year's release, Miani claims that the slot will support UHS-II speeds, citing "a trusted source."
UHS-II card readers are three times faster than UHS-I readers found in most laptops, with reading speeds of up to 312 MB/s. The Apple Macbook Air (2017) and MacBook Pro from 2015 were the last Apple laptops to include an SD card reader, with reading speeds ranging from 75 to 90 MB/.
While the addition of a fast SD card reader is welcome (especially for videographers and photographers), Miani also reported a disappointing rumor: the next MacBook Pro may only have 32 GB of MacBook ram. While this may seem like plenty of RAM for most people, IT professionals and videographers who require a lot of RAM may be disappointed with Apple's highest-end laptop.
It should be noted that other rumors claim that the New MacBook Pro will have a maximum RAM of 64 GB. Additionally, as of press time, Apple sells MacBook Pros with up to 64 GB of MacBook ram.
The new MacBook Pro Touch ID sensor on the upcoming New MacBook Pro will also have a backlight, according to Miani. He hopes that Apple will include animations and light patterns in this rumored backlight to draw attention to notifications, logins, and other items. These animations were created as a personal wish for Miani and were not included in his inside information.
The new MacBook Pro Touch ID button with backlight The latter could be made up of a number of small LEDs, implying that it could include animations of some sort.
These rumors, like all rumors, should be taken with a grain of salt. As we get closer to a possible launch of whatever Apple has planned for the MacBook Pro line, rumors will intensify. Miani doesn't usually spread rumors about Apple products, so proceed with caution.
We haven't seen a major redesign of the MacBook Pros in years, aside from internal specs changes, so it's long overdue. Meanwhile, take a look at our picks for the best laptops on the market right now.
