Removing government poison from your water: very important








do you really  want to save your family and yourself?

Your water is being poisoned, that's a fact. They tell us they add fluoride to our water to help our teeth, is that supposed to be a joke? Fluoride is a neurological poison used by the Nazis to dumb down prisoners. What makes you think they are not doing the same to you? Well now at least you can filter out fluoride, and have some peace of mind. You can get the filter here as well as a meter that will tell you exactly how much is in your water supply.

Over 12 Health Benefits of Sesame Seeds and Sesame Oil


sesameseeds 265x165 Over 12 Health Benefits of Sesame Seeds and Sesame OilAn amazingly healthful food utilized for over 5,000 years, sesame may be one of the most potent, nutrient-dense medicinal foods still used today. Sesame seeds are not only praised for their nutritional content in seed form, but are also highly valued for their rancid-resistant oil. In fact, once you learn of the health benefits of sesame seeds, you may just find yourself stocking up on this ancient condiment.

Sesame Seeds Nutritional Profile

As mentioned, sesame seeds have a fabulous nutritional profile, granting their capabilities in fighting, preventing, and reversing illness and disease. The seeds are especially high in copper, manganese, calcium, and magnesium. But the value doesn’t end there. Here are some notable vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients you can expect to find in a 1 ounce (28g) serving of sesame seeds.
  • Manganese – 0.7 mg. 35% RDA.
  • Copper – 0.7 mg. 35% RDA.
  • Calcium – 277 mg. 28% RDA.
  • Iron –  4.1 mg. 23% RDA.
  • Magnesium – 99.7 mg. 25% RDA.
  • Tryptophan – 93 mg.
  • Zinc – 2 mg. 13% RDA.
  • Fiber – 3.9 g. 16% RDA.
  • Thiamin – 0.2 mg. 15% RDA.
  • Vitamin B6 – 0.2 mg. 11% RDA.
  • Phosphorous – 179 mg. 18% RDA.
  • Protein – 4.7 g.
Needless to say, the above nutrients, and others, help to make up the numerous health benefits of sesame seeds that have been experienced for thousands of years. It’s time to discover what exactly the Egyptians and other cultures around the world saw in these tiny seeds.
Here are over 12 sesame seeds health benefits.

The Health Benefits of Sesame Seeds

  • Promote Healthy, Beautiful Skin – Sesame seeds are full of zinc, an essential mineral for producing collagen and giving skin more elasticity. Zinc also helps damaged tissues in the body to repair. Sesame oil is also known to sooth burns and prevent skin related disorders.
  • Great for High-Protein Vegetarian Diet – Sesame seeds offer 4.7 grams of protein per ounce, giving them a perfect place in a high-protein vegetarian diet.
  • Sesame Seed Oil for Oral Health – One of the most prominent benefits of sesame seeds and sesame oil revolves around removing dental plaque and boosting oral health. By engaging in an activity known as oil pulling, which involves swishing oil around in your mouth, you can boost oral health and even whiten your teeth. One study showcases the oil pulling benefits on the oral level, where oil pulling with sesame oil was shown to reduce the amount of streptococcus mutants in both teeth plaque and mouth saliva, and boost overall health. (Click the next link to find out what oil pulling is and learn of oil pulling benefits).
  • Helps Prevent Diabetes – Thanks to magnesium and other nutrients, sesame seeds, and especially sesame oil, has been shown to combat diabetes. One study, published in 2011 in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, found that sesame oil “improved the effectiveness of the oral antidiabetic drug glibenclamide in type 2 diabetic patients”. Another study concluded that “substitution of sesame oil as the sole edible oil has an additive effect in further lowering BP and plasma glucose in hypertensive diabetics”.
  • Reduces Blood Pressure – As the above study concludes, sesame oil has been shown to lower blood pressure in hypertensive diabetics. Additionally, magnesium has been shown to help lower blood pressure – and sesame seeds are loaded with magnesium.
  • Promotes Heart Health - Further adding to the health benefits of sesame seeds, sesame seed oil can boost heart health by preventing atherosclerotic lesions. An antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compound known as sesamol, which also harnesses anti-atherogenic properties, is thought to be one reason for the beneficial effects. According to GreenMedInfo, sesamol has been shown to “possess over two dozen beneficial pharmacologically active properties, many of which may contribute to improving cardiovascular health”.
  • Protects Against DNA Damage from Radiation - Sesamol, a compound found in sesame seeds and sesame oil, has been shown in some studies to protect against DNA damaged caused by radiation. Further, sesamol has been shown to extend life in mice treated with radiation, partly by preventing damage to the intestines and the spleen.
  • Prevents Cancer – Not only do sesame seeds contain an anti-cancer compound called phytate, but the magnesium in sesame seeds also harness anti-cancer properties. One study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that the risk of colorectal tumors decreased by 13% and the risk of colorectal cancer decreased by 12% for every 100 mg of magnesium taken in.
  • Boosts Bone Health - In addition to promoting healthy skin, zinc has also been shown to boost bone mineral density and bone health as a whole. One study, published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, found a correlation between zinc deficiency and osteoporosis in the hip and spine area. What’s more, sesame seeds are a great source of calcium – a known trace mineral that is essential for bone health and preventing related conditions.
  • Boosting Digestive Health, Relieving Constipation – Sesame seeds are rich in fiber, which is known to pave way for a healthy digestive system and a healthy colon.
  • Provides Relief from Rheumatoid Arthritis – A mineral that is important for anti-inflammatory and antioxidant enzyme systems, copper is known for reducing pain and swelling associated with arthritis. Additionally, this mineral helps provide strength to blood vessels, bones, and joints.
  • Promotes Respiratory Health, Prevents Asthma – Thanks to the magnesium, sesame seeds are able to prevent asthma by and other respiratory disorders by preventing airway spasms.

Wireless printing explained How to connect a wireless printer

Printers: Wireless printing explained How to connect a wireless printer

Wifi printer Plenty of printers have wi-fi, like the Canon Pixma MX870.
With a wireless printer it's easy to print from multiple computers, tablets and smartphones. You don't have to be in the same room, or in some cases the same building, as the printer to be able to print.
But before you can start printing you must first connect the printer to your home network - you'll need is a wireless router and a wi-fi printer.
Read our guide to buying a wireless router if you need one and check our reviews to find the best wi-fi printers.

Connect to a wireless network

Printers with colour screens display step-by-step instructions for setting up the wireless connection when you first turn on the printer. They're easy to follow, even if the screen is quite small and you're not overwhelmed with information - you can only progress one step at a time.
If you don’t set up the wireless connection during the start-up process you can set it up later. Look for the wireless set-up 'wizard' within ‘wireless settings’ or ‘networking’ in the printer’s menu.
There’s more that one way of connecting to a wireless network, and you may be offered a few different options for setting up the connection.

Wi-fi set up using WPS

If your printer and router are both compatible with Wireless Protected Setup (WPS) this should be an option in the printer’s network menu.
If so, when prompted, all you need to do is press the WPS button on your router and the corresponding button on the printer to wirelessly connect the printer to the network.

Wi-fi Auto connect

This feature is mostly available on Epson printers and is very easy to use. You can use it if computer is already set up on your wi-fi network.
Selecting Wi-fi Auto connect, the printer looks at the network your computer is on and then uses this information to connect itself to the wi-fi network. It may take a minute to connect, but it quick and done with a press of a button.

Connecting using a network key or PIN

If your printer doesn’t have WPS, you’ll probably have to enter a ‘network key’ – a series of numbers and letters – into the printer using the function buttons and screen on the printer in order to establish the connection between your printer and router.
Provided you haven't changed it, the network key will be in your router’s documentation, or on a label on the router.

Printers: How to buy the best printer Buying the best inkjet printer

Inkjet printer An all-in-one inkjet printer can do a bit of everything and prices start as low as £30.
Inkjet printers are the most common type of home printer. They tend to be smaller than laser printers, so they're more convenient for small home work surfaces.

Inkjets are cheaper

They're generally cheaper than laser printers. You can get an all-in-one inkjet colour printer (that can print, copy and scan) for as little as £25. All-in-one colour laser printers cost upwards of £100 and take up more desk space.
A4 inkjet printers that only print - sometimes referred to as 'single function printers' - are rare now.
You can still find a couple of models in high street stores, but with the low price of all-in-ones, even if you think you'll rarely use the copier function you won't be paying any more up front to have a copier in your printer.
Manufacturers make money from sales of ink, so they want to you use more of it, whether that's by printing or copying.

Inkjets are better for photos

If you want to print photos, an inkjet printer is your best option - they generally print better photos than laser printers.
Text speed isn't likely to be as fast as with a laser printer though.
You can find out which are the best inkjet printers in our inkjet printer reviews.

What makes a good inkjet printer?

  • Good print quality In our tests we print text, graphics and photos to find the best printers. 
  • Good print speed The average inkjet printer can print high quality text pages at around six or seven pages per minute.
  • Low ink costs The price of the printer is only the beginning. Ink cartridges can be expensive. We test the running costs of printers to find those that produce the cheapest prints.  Dismiss

Features to look for

  • If you regularly print photos Look for an inkjet printer with dual paper trays - this way you won't have to keep swapping paper in and out of the printer when you switch from printing glossy snaps to web pages or documents. Many printers aimed at photo printing include a preview screen, memory card slots and a USB connection on the front
  • Paper-saving measures Look for a printer with 'auto-duplexing'. This means you can set the printer up to automatically print on both sides of a page.
  • Want to print from more than one device? If you want to be able to print from a tablet or smartphone, look for a wireless printer. If you want to print from an iPad or iPhoe look for 'AirPrint compatibility'. Wi-fi printers also make it simple to print from more than one computer or laptop without trailing cables around. 
  • Scan to USB If an all-in-one printer has a USB connection, it's likely you can use the connection to print photos from a USB stick and also to scan documents on the printer directly onto the USB stick without having to turn on your computer. 
  • Automatic document feeder Some all-in-ones have an automatic document feeder (ADF). If you're scanning or copying multiple page documents you can put them into the ADF as a stack rather than having to manually lay them on the scanner one page at a time. However, many ADFs can't automatically scan or copy double-sided (duplex copy/scan). Our reviews let you filter to show models that have ADFs which can duplex copy and scan.

Printers: How to buy the best printer Buying the best laser printer

Printers: How to buy the best printer Buying the best laser printer

Laser printer Laser toner can be pricey but you'll get lots of prints for your money.
Laser printers are good choices for a home office. They are quick to print but they tend to be quite bulky, so you'll need desk space.

Laser printers cost more

Although you can get a laser printer for as little as £60, toner cartridges tend to be expensive at around £40 or more for just one cartridge.
A toner cartridge will produce lots of prints so, so you'll get your money's worth.
Black-and-white laser printers start from around £40, and you can get relatively compact models from brands like Brother and Samsung.
A colour laser printer will cost considerably more as will multifunction laser printers that can also copy and scan. Expect to pay upwards of £80 for these models.

Laser printers are better for text

Laser printers generally aren't good when it comes to photo printing. If you'll want to print photos at home, an inkjet printer is the better way to go.
But if you print lots of Office documents, lasers offer sharper text quality and better print speeds, even for colour documents.
You can find our which are the best laser printers in our laser printer reviews.

What makes a good laser printer?

  • Sharp text It's rare to find a laser printer that fails to print crisp text. 
  • Rapid print speed The average laser printer can turn out black text at around 10 pages per minute, compared to six or seven with an inkjet.
  • Fast colour prints Photos, or colour web pages with images take around two minutes to print at top quality on an inkjet printer. The average colour laser can turn these pages out in around 40 seconds. 

Additional features to look for

  • Auto-duplexing You won't find automatic double-sided printing on cheaper laser printers. Expect to pay upwards of £140 for a laser printer with auto-duplexing. This feature is worth having if you print a lot and want to save paper without having to flip the page manually. 
  • Multiple print trays Look for a laser printer with more than one paper tray so you can keep different types of paper in the printer at all times, such as plain or headed paper. The paper trays on most laser printers can hold at least 50 sheets of A4.

The Taliban’s Letter to Malala Yousafzai - Must Read









Miss Malala Yousafzai,

I am writing to you in my personal capacity this may not be the opinion or policy of Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan or other ****** faction or group.

I heard about you through BBC Urdu service for the first time, when I was in bannu prison, at that time I wanted to write to you, to advise you to refrain from anti-Taliban activities you were involved in. but I could not find your address and I was thinking how to approach you with real or pseudo name, my all emotions were brotherly for you because we belong to same Yousafzai tribe. Meanwhile the prison brake happened and I was supposed to be in hiding. when you were attacked it was shocking for me I wished it would never happened and I had advised you before.

Taliban attacked you, was it islamically correct or wrong, or you were deserved to be killed or not, I will not go in this argument now, let’s we leave it to Allah All mighty, He is the best judge. Here I want to advise you as I am already late, I wish I would have advised u in my prison time and this accident would never happened. First of all please mind that Taliban never attacked you because of going to school or you were education lover, also please mind that Taliban or Mujahideen are not against the education of any men or women or girl. Taliban believe that you were intentionally writing against them and running a smearing campaign to malign their efforts to establish Islamic system in swat and your writings were provocative.

You have said in your speech yesterday that pen is mightier than sword, so they attacked you for your sword not for your books or school. There were thousands of girls who were going to school and college before and after the Taliban insurgency in swat, would you explain why were only you on their hit list???

Now to explain you the second point, why Taliban are blowing up schools? The answer to this questions in that not only Taliban in KPK or FATA are blowing up the schools but Pakistan Army and Frontier Constabulary is equally involved in this issue. The reason for this action is common between them that is turning of schools into hide outs and transit camps once it comes under control of either party Pakistan Army or Taliban.

In 2004 I was in Swat, I was researching on the causes of failure of the first revolution attempt by Sufi Muhammad. I came to know that FC was stationed in the schools of swat in tehsil Matta and FC was using schools as their transit camps and hid outs. Now tell me who to blame???

Dozens of schools and colleges are being used by Pakistan Army and FC as their barracks in FATA, you can find out easily if you like. So when something sacred is turned lethal it needs to be eliminated this is the policy of Taliban.

Blowing up schools when they are not using strategically is not the Taliban job, some black sheep of local administration may be involved to extract more and more funds in the name of schools to fill their bank accounts.

it was shocking for me I wished it would never happened

Now I come to the main point that is EDUCATION, it is amazing that you are Shouting for education, you and the UNO is pretending that as you were shot due to education, although this is not the reason, be honest, not the education but your propaganda was the issue and what you are doing now, you are using your tongue on the behest of the others and you must know that if the pen is mightier than the sword then tongue is sharper and the injury of sword can be hailed but the injury of the tongue never hails and in the wars tongue is more destructive than any weapon.

I would like to share with you that Indian sub-continent was highly educated and almost every citizen was able to read or write before British invasion. Locals used to teach British officers Arabic, Hindi, Urdu and Persian. Almost every mosque was acting as school too and Muslim emperors used to spend a huge sum of money on education. Muslim India was rich in farming, silk, and jute and from textile industry to ship building. No poverty, no crises and no clashes of civilization or religion. Because the education system was based on noble thoughts and noble curriculum.

I want to draw your attention to an extract from the minute written by Sir T.B Macaulay to British parliament dated 2nd February 1835 about what type of education system is required in Indian sub-continent to replace the Muslim education system. He stated “We must at present do our best to form a class who may be interpreters between us and the millions whom we govern, –a class of persons Indian in blood and color, but English in tastes, in opinions, in morals and in intellect” This was and this is the plan and mission of this so called education system for which you are ready to die, for which UNO takes you to their office to produce more and more Asians in blood but English in taste, to produce more and more Africans in color but English in opinion, to produce more and more non English people but English in morale. This so called education made Obama, the mass murder, your ideal. isn’t it?

Why they want to make all human beings English? because Englishmen are the staunch supporters and slaves of Jews. Do you know Sir Syed Ahmed Khan, the founder and symbol of English education in India was a freemasons.

You say a teacher, a pen and a book can change the world, yes I agree with, but which teacher which pen and which book? It is to be specified, Prophet Muhammad Peace be upon him said I am sent as a teacher, and the book He sent to teach is Quran. So a noble and pious teacher with prophetic curriculum can change the world not with satanic or secular curriculum.

You have given the example that once a journalist asked a student that why a talib afraid of this education he replied a talib didn’t know what was in this book. The same I say to you and through you to whole world that why they afraid from the book of Allah because they don’t know what is in it. Taliban want to implement what is in the book of ALLAH and UNO want to implement what they have in man-made books. We want to connect the world to their creator through the book of Allah and UNO want to enslave the world to few evil creatures.


You have talk about justice and equality from the stage of and unjust institution, the place where you were standing uttering for justice and equality, all the nations are not equal there, only five wicked states have the veto power and rest of them are powerless, dozens of time when all the world untied against the Israel only one veto was enough to press the throat of justice.

The place you were speaking to the world is heading towards new world order, I want to know what is wrong the old world order? They want to establish global education, global economy, global army, global trade, global government and finally global religion. I want to know is there any space for the prophetic guidance in all above global plans? Is there any space for Islamic sharia or Islamic law to which UN call inhumane and barbaric? You have talk about attack on polio team, would you explain why the then American foreign secretary of state Henry Kissinger, a Jew, said in 1973 to reduce the third world population by 80%. Why the sterilization and eugenics programs are running in different countries in one way or another under the umbrella of UNO. More than 1 million Muslim women have been sterilized in Uzbekistan forcibly without their consent. Bertrand Russell writes in his book the impact of science on society, “diet, injections and injunctions will combine, from a very early age, to produce the sort of character and sort of beliefs that the authorities consider desirable and any serious criticism of power that be will become psychologically impossible”. This is why we have the reservation on so called polio vaccination program.

You say Malala day is not your day it is the day of every person who has raised voice for their rights, I ask you why such a day in not assigned to Rachel Corrie, only because the bulldozer was Israeli? Why such a day in not assigned to AffiaSiddique because the buyers are Americans? Why such day is not assigned to Faizan and Faheem because the killer was Raymond Davis? Why such a day in not assigned to those16 innocent afghan women and children who were shot dead by an American Robert Belas because he was not a talib. I ask you and be honest in reply, if you were shot but Americans in a drone attack, would world have ever heard updates on your medical status? Would you be called ‘daughter of the nation? Would the media make a fuss about you? Would General Kiyani have come to visit you and would the world media be constantly reporting on you? Would you were called to UN? Would a Malala day be announced?

More than 300 innocent women and children have been killed in drones attacks but who cares because attackers are highly educated, non-violent, peaceful Americans.

I wish, the compassion you learnt from Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him should be learnt by Pakistan Army so they could stop shedding of Muslim blood in FATA and Baluchistan. I wish, the compassion you learnt from Prophet Jesus should be learnt by USA and NATO so they should stop shedding blood of innocent Muslims across the world and I wish the same for followers of Buddha to stop killing of innocent unarmed Muslims in Burma, and Sri Lanka and wish the same for Indian army to follow Gandhi jee and stop genocide in Kashmir, And yes, The followers of bacha khan, the ANP has an example of non-violence in their five years regime in KPK province, for example Swat, where a single shot was not fired and we witnessed the followers of bacha khan implemented the philosophy of nonviolence in its true soul, with support of jets, tanks and gunships.

At the end I advise you to come back home, adopt the Islamic and pushtoon culture, join any female Islamic madrassa near your home town, study and learn the book of Allah, use your pen for Islam and plight of Muslim ummah and reveal the conspiracy of tiny elite who want to enslave the whole humanity for their evil agendas in the name of new world order.



All praises to Allah the creator of the Universe.

Galaxy note review- Samsungs latest android phablet is a top performer with a brilliant display






The Galaxy Note 3 is a high-quality portable device, offering unsurpassed performance, a stunning screen and nice build quality. Here's Tech Advisor's Galaxy Note 3 review. (For comparison, see our Sony Xperia Z1 review.)
An Android smartphone that doubles as a pocket tablet. If you have use for a 6in display you could do a lot worse than check out the Galaxy Note 3. We like it.
Battery life is up there with the best handsets on the market, and the Note 3 has a 5.7in AMOLED display with 16M colours and a 24-bit colour depth. That's a lot of colour and it shows. If a vibrant and deep hue is something you like in your display you need look no further. Resolution is resolutely sharp, with a pixel density of 386ppi. The touchscreen is snappy and sensitive, although prone to picking up finger smears.
Galaxy Note 3: specifications
The Note 3 pairs a new quad-core chip with a whopping three gigabytes of memory - and it shows. Synthetic benchmarks shouldn't be relied upon when making a purchasing decision, but if they were the Note 3 would be a must buy. In use the Note 3 feels slick and zippy. It's a truly fast phone.
The Galaxy Note 3 has two cameras, a front-facing camera for selfies and video calling, and a rear-facing snapper for more serious photography and video capture. The latter is a serious piece of compact camera kit, offering such features as auto focus, image stabilisation, LED flash and zero shutter lag.
Storage wise the options are thirty-two gigabytes and sixty four gigabytes, and there's an SD card expansion slot for up to another sixty four gigs of storage. You can also install and purchase apps and media from Samsung's own store, which is in some ways confusing but does at least offer you the opportunity to compare and choose based on price.

On the Road to Greener Living With Eco-Friendly Water Bottles



For decades, we have been urged to be kind to Mother Earth, leave our environment better than when we were here, to live “greener.” This has gotten easier with the arrival of recycling.
After all, who doesn’t feel good about recycling their plastic water bottle? The problem, however, is that many of these bottles don’t make it to the recycling bin and instead end up in landfills that are already overrun with too much trash.
Enter Las Vegas-based Alkame Water, a company that is combatting this problem by creating a water bottle that is designed to be biodegradable in landfills, as well as recyclable with other plastics.
And while much has been written recently on the dangers of freezing plastic water bottles, or conversely, drinking water from a plastic bottle that has been sitting in the heat (to do so is to possibly ingest cancer-causing chemicals), Alkame bottles do not require special storage, will not break down by heat, light, moisture or stress, and are BPA-free as well as 100 percent recyclable.
To accomplish what few others have been able to do, Alkame has enlisted BioSphere—a company dedicated to “giving back to society through global awareness education”—to create its bottles by using a material that is structured in such a way that once the bottle is in a landfill or composter, it degrades from within as well as on the surface. This composition is designed to speed up the biodegradation process by increasing the overall area that can decompose.
“The qualifications in order to be considered biodegradable are that the material must be scientifically proven to break down completely and return to nature in a short time frame,” BioSphere notes on its website.
No doubt, biodegradable plastics will be but one way that companies can reduce their carbon footprint, which is part of Alkame’s overall philosophy of health, for both the environment and for the individual.
Alkame’s formula includes oxygenation that improves aerobic capacity and enhances energy, antioxidants that can boost the immune system, and mild alkalinity for more effective hydration.

Buy the cheapest MacBook Air: Best prices in stores, refurb deals, and free accessories

Buy the cheapest MacBook Air: Best prices in stores, refurb deals, and free accessories

Get the best price on MacBook Airs, we've shopped around for the lowest price


CheapMacBookAir
Where to get the cheapest MacBook Air is one of the questions our readers often ask. This article is our guide to where to get the best MacBook Air price, which MacBook Air models are available to buy, and where to buy your MacBook Air.
Getting a cheap MacBook Air and saving money is important, but getting a good MacBook Air deal and buying your cheap MacBook Air from a good store is also important.
The MacBook Air is now Apple's flagship consumer notebook, initially introduced as a high-end laptop but now the staple product in Apple's laptop line-up, the MacBook Air combines fantastic performance, with extreme lightness but the MacBook Air price is higher than many people want to pay, so any MacBook Air savings are welcome.

Which MacBook Air to get

First of all you should decide if the MacBook Air is the right Mac for you? If you're undecided, or unfamiliar with Apple's range of Mac computers, read this Which Mac Should I Get article  and this Which MacBook Should I Buy article first.

You should also read this MacBook Air 2012 review before comitting to buy a MacBook Air.
If you've decided that the MacBook Air is definitely the Mac for you, then the question of Which MacBook Air to get depends on your needs and cash.
Apple has four MacBook Airs for sale on the Apple Store. Two MacBook Airs with a 11-inch display, and two MacBook Airs with a 13-inch display. Which MacBook Air to buy is a tricky question, as all Macs are good, but offer slightly different features.
The MacBook Air is sold with an i5 processor running at 1.7GHz in the 11-inch models, and 1.8GHz in the 13-inch models.
All MacBook Airs have 4GB of RAM by default (an upgrade to 8GB is available as on optional upgrade).
All MacBook Airs have the same Intel HD Graphics 4000 graphics chip.
The key differential between MacBook Airs is the amount of Flash hard drive storage (between 64GB and 256GB by default, with a 512GB expansion available on two MacBook Airs ).
Which MacBook Air you get is up to you, but we'd recommend the 11inch: 128GB model as a good purchase, and as the RAM cannot be upgraded after purchase, we'd be more comfortable with the 8GB RAM upgrade.

MacBook Air Apple Store price

You can buy a MacBook Air directly from the Apple Store, as well as most major retail outlets for the following prices.
MacBook Air 11-inch : 64GB
Price: £849
MacBook Air 11-inch : 128GB
Price: £929
MacBook Air 13-inch : 128GB
Price: £999
MacBook Air 13-inch : 256GB
Price £1,249

MacBook Air Upgrades

A number of MacBook Air upgrades are available at the time of purchase. You should pay close attention to these, because it is hard to perform a MacBook Air upgrade after you have bought a MacBook Air.
The MacBook Air RAM can be upgraded from 4GB to 8GB when if you buy a MacBook Air from the Apple Store. If you buy a MacBook Air elsewhere you may find it comes with the stock 4GB RAM.
The MacBook Air hard drive comes in 64GB, 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB upgrades. You can upgrade the MacBook Air hard drive at the time of purchase, but not afterwards. The MacBook Air hard drive is Flash-RAM welded into the motherboard.
If you buy a MacBook Air in a sale you may be limited to which MacBook Air upgrades are available. The following MacBook Air upgrades are available at the time of purchase.
RAM Upgrade 4GB to 8GB + £80
USB SuperDrive + £65
AppleCare Protection £199
One to One Membership + £79
2.0GHz intel Dual Core i7 + £130 (11in model); + £120 (13in model)
256GB Flash Storage +£240 (11in model)
512GB Flash Storage +£640 (11in model); + £400 (13in model);
Again, we advise getting the RAM upgrade for £80 as it can't be upgraded at a later date. The Intel i5 and Intel i7 processors are not radically different, so paying £120-£130 for the upgrade seems an extravagance to us. Although we think 64GB of Flash RAM is incredibly tight, paying for the 256 or 512GB upgrades seem outrageously high to us, instead we'd go with the 128GB option and invest in a good external Lightning or USB 3 hard drive if we needed the extra storage space.

Cheapest MacBook Airs

So the entry level price of a MacBook Air from Apple is £849 but surely we can get a cheaper MacBook Air than that? If you want to buy a cheap MacBook Air then here are some great MacBook Air deals:
The cheapest MacBook Air deal we can see at the moment is from online store Zavvi with a MacBook Air deal at £777.99. 
The second cheapest MacBook Air deal we can find is eBuyer, which is offering a MacBook Air deal for £778.99.
Amazon also has several sellers offering MacBook Airs at approximately £790 which is also a good saving. The MacBook Airs still have a one-year guarantee with Apple (which tracks all serial numbers) but be warned that Amazon only guarantees the initial condition and timely delivery of the MacBook Air, the ongoing guarantee that it'll work is between you and whatever company sold the MacBook Air though the Amazon store.
Be careful not to accidentally purchase an older MacBook Air, these are identifiable by having slower 1.6GH CPUs and only 2GB RAM).

Best MacBook Air deal

If you're happy to pay full price for a MacBook Air and want a MacBook Air deal from a retailer that you're comfortable with, then John Lewis offers a two-year warranty on all Apple products, which is twice as long as the standard one-year offered by Apple.
John Lewis also offers a three-year warranty MacBook Air deal for £150. This compares favourably with Apple's own AppleCare Protection, which is essentially a three year warranty for £199.
There are very few resellers offering MacBook Air deals with free accessories at the moment, we presume that this is because they are being discounted quite heavily elsewhere.

Refurbished MacBook Airs

One great trick that many Apple fans use is to buy a refurbished MacBook Air from the Apple Refurb Store.
A refurbished MacBook Air bought from the Apple Refurb Store is likely to be a brand-new but unsold model (if it is from a previous year), or a reconditioned MacBook Air if it a new model. A reconditioned MacBook Air is likely to be either an ex-demonstration model, used during Apple MacBook Air teaching programs, or a unit sold to a customer who decided to return it.
A reconditioned MacBook Air bought from the Apple Refurb Store is in no way inferior to a MacBook Air bought direct from the Apple Store. Most MacBook Airs bought from the Apple Refurb Store will be cleaned, checked, tested and visibly indistinguishable from brand new MacBook Airs
A reconditioned MacBook Air comes with the same 1 year warranty (extendable to three years with AppleCare protection.)
The only likely difference beween a reconditioned MacBook Air from the Apple Refurb Store and a brand new MacBook Air from the Apple Store, is that it will ship in a brown box rather than the white retal boxes that Apple sells.
The price for a reconditioned MacBook Air changes frequently, so keep an eye on the Refurb Store every day for a while to get a feel for what the cheapest price for the model you want is.
If you wait a while you'll typically get the model that you want. At the moment we can see a neat 11-inch MacBook Air with a 1.7GHz dual core i5 going for £719; and an even neater 11-inch MacBook Air with 128GB storage going for £789.
Perhaps the best deal at the moment is a 13-inch MacBook Air 2011 with 128 GB storage and 4GB RAM going for £789). Although it has a slightly slower graphics card than the MacBook Air 2012 it still sings, and this cheap MacBook Air gives you a 13-inch MacBook Air for £210 less than the cheapest 13-inch model currently on sale.

Affect and Effect



 Affect and Effect are frequently used incorrectly because people don't realize the difference between the two words. In most common situations, affect is used as a verb and effect as a noun. However, both words have alternate meanings when used as different parts of speech.
