Top 3 mistakes while installing Google Analytics
Hey fellas!
Google Analytics is a magnificent way to know your readers & have in-depth stats about them. If you rely on your platform for Traffic stats, like Blogger in my case, then don't! They include a lot of things like bots & therefore the stats aren't correct. So a good service like Google Analytics is must.
Today I will be discussing about Top 3 mistakes that you / anyone might do (or be doing), while installing the Google Analytics script on your Website. Not only, I will be telling solutions along with, but also share the correct way to install Google Analytics on Blogger with steps.
ABOUT GOOGLE ANALYTICS & WHY YOU NEED IT
I've already given a hint about this in the introduction. Google Analytics displays the traffic you have on your website with in-detail statistics, which include where they came from, which Platform they had (Mobile/Tablet/PC), which pages on your site are the most popular and a lot more stuff. I was also awestruck to see such a good information when I commenced using Analytics.
If you think that your platform, like Blogger, already provides you with stats & you are happy with it, then please don't be content. Added to that, Blogger's stats sometimes show about 2-3 times more traffic than Analytics, because the former counts all sorts of things, like bots that crawl your site. So you need a service to track your viewers & Google Analytics is one of the best.
TOP 3 MISTAKES WHILE INSTALLING GOOGLE ANALYTICS
Now, Google Analytics won't make a mistake only if you set it up properly on your website. Honestly, I also made mistakes a few times. At times, even Analytics showed me Blog Traffic 3 times the actual & on other occasions one-third, but finally I was able to figure out. So here are the top mistakes:
1. Installing Analytics script more than once on same Webpage
This counts as the top & most popular mistake.
Now, I also did this mess-up. I don't know, I was in haste or something, but please don't install the same script or two different kinds of analytics scripts on the same webpage. The traffic shown then, could be more than double of the actual pageviews, it'll give you hope but then be a bummer when someone notifies you about the mistake.
If you use Blogger, you can use my method (provided in this article only, below) & don't put your Tracking code in Blogger settings.
2. Installing Analytics Script on the corner of the website
This blunder shows your traffic to be half or even less, than the original. You might know, that in a website not everything loads at the same time. Some important things load up first. Since Analytics is essential, it should also load up first. One of the first rules of learning HTML Language is that the head section always runs first in a Website & I think that's why it exists- to have priority. So paste the analytics code right about the Head Section.
Also, to be on safer side, if you, in future, need to install a Script in the Head Section of your Website, Paste it above the Analytics script.
3. Messing up with the Script itself
The last mistake is not that dominant but still is important. Don't try to change the Analytics code before installing it, directly or indirectly. For example, if you, like me, test a script before installing it on a compiler, then the compiler could make some editing in the script, so it's changed and it might be bad.
The solutions to the above 3 is "Don't do that!".
STEPS TO INSTALL GOOGLE ANALYTICS CORRECTLY ON BLOGGER
Since I myself currently employ the Blogger platform, I can recommend steps about that only. If you use it, then good. Other users can take an example from it:
1. Sign in to your Google Analytics Account, which if you don't have already could be created for free.
2. After reaching the Main Analytics page, Click on Admin tab.
3. Under the column "PROPERTY", click on "Tracking Info" & then "Tracking Code".
4. In a separate text box, you will see your Tracking Program wrapped up in "<script>" & "</script>" tags (words). Copy the the whole thing.
5. We need to paste it in Head section of all the webpages, we require to be analysed, on our website. Why Head you ask- It's because anything in Head section loads up first & fast. I prefer using it for whole website, we'll paste the code in our Blogger Template, but just as a precaution backup your Blog's template first:
A) Sign in to Blogger, click on your Blog, then visit the option "Template" in the column on Left hand side.
B) On the top-rightish side, choose Backup / Restore.
C) Then, "Download Full Template" on a location that you can remember later on.
6. (We still have our Analytics script copied in the clipboard) Close the Template download box & choose "Edit HTML"
7. Find the following (it's just head section), use Ctrl+F on your keyboard:
</head>
8. Paste your Analytics Script, right above this & You're done. Save the template.
Note: Don't put your Tracking code in Blogger settings.
To verify the code's working, simply visit your own site, keep it open and in a new tab, see Analytics Report's "Real Time" option (it's on the right side). It should show the users online to be atleast one & guess who it is, it's you!
If it doesn't show anything, wait for some time, test again, repeat the steps or ask a question to me through comments or "Contact me" option on the website. If you liked this post, please like me on Facebook / Twitter also. You can even subscribe via Email.

Injustice Gods Among Us List of Cards
Hello Rusties!
Injustice Gods Among Us for Mobile has made put another post on it. This time, it's about the Characters it has, which is the best thing about it. A diverse variety of cards or characters makes Injustice very interesting. So let's have a glance on that.
WHY CHARACTER LIST
What I like the most about characters is that each one of them has unique passives. Passive is something special about a Card/Character which he/she inhibits by the specialty or superpower. For example, Batman Prime has Tactical genius Passive which gives him & whole team 25% damage boost, in the fight. Regime Wonder Woman has Shield of Gods which generates power for her even while blocking, Lex Luthor gives the whole team a 30% boost to their total Health & so on.
These characters with their unique passives are so good to combine to make a 3-character team for fight that it always keeps you interested to see the new passives. For instance, Cassandra Cain Batgirl incurs 25% damage to the opposition (of their current health), every-time she tags in.
Not only passives but there are far more things that control a character's goodness in the game. I think each card is terrific, it's just that one suits your battle style more than the other. So it is utterly required to take a look into Character lists for their details, in case you're thinking of buying one of your precious credits.
THE LIST
Actually for seeing cards, I don't merely use a single list but 3 main sources, these are in no particular order:
1. I use the stats calculator tool which vividly tells me about character stats, given on lmurphy's site. It's not a list, but gives a fine idea about stats:
Injustice stats calculator by LMurphy
2. The list on Injustice Mobile wikia is pretty solid, that includes upcoming characters too, like Mortal Kombat X Scorpion, latest Godfall superman, Static, Batman Beyond & old ones too, so it's excellent:
Injustice Character Cards list on InjusticeMobileWiki
3. Gameteep's list is also prominent over the Internet and pings up in Google Search so that is also useful:

So from 1 source or another, you might get to your list from the above 3.

Jatt Boys Putt Jattan De
Hey People!
Many Punjabi films are known for their gags & laughter, but "Jatt Boys Putt Jattan De" has more to it than seems. So today let us watch it online on YouTube, in Punjabi Language.
THE MOVIE
Jatt Boys Putt Jattan De is a different Punjabi movie than total Entertainment. I'm not saying this negatively, the film has tried to focus on a unique concept. Not being based upon a particular guy or girl, it talks about the Genration Gap and how oldies & newbies can both preserve their likes & dislikes even in the modern world.
The film deals with the Genration Gap and has equal attention towards both the traditional as well as modern values, although it has very less point to the story of its actors. The film simply presents how Jatts can live in harmony, have traditional values & still modernity. All of this is told with good Action & Comedy.

Injustice Gear List Deatils
Hey Fellas!
I'm into his Injustice Gods Among Us Mobile Game for Android / iOS and it really has grasped all my attention. The games which involve earning in-game Gold (Power Credits in Injustice) have become quite regular, but Injustice is something special & well thought. You can play this game even without paying. I've even posted a video on YouTube about that. Will give you the option to watch it.
Anyways, this post will talk about a special Gear document created Rom studio & many others. Gears are something that give you extra edge and abilities in injustice gods among us. They're really handy and without them winning is very tough in the game.
First, the option to watch my YouTube video on how to earn in-game Injustice gold, without Real life money:
WHAT ARE GEARS
So coming back to the topic, Gears are some devices or some extra stuff you get in the game, which give you an edge over others and remind you, the game becomes extremely difficult without them. Gears might give you healing capability, Critical hits, Boost to damage, power drain and a lot other things depending on which one you choose.
People actually have spent over 10 million+ credits for fully developing their gears, but don't get intimidated, gears can be extremely helpful even when they've not been completely developed.
THE GEAR LIST
So before spending so much (in-game gold) on gears you will first want to see what options you have and what each gear provides so you may choose the ones that fit your playing style the best. I personally adore the healing and power gen gears the most. So here goes the list:
Injustice Gear Details
Just use the link under Gear stats and upgrade costs.

Injustice Stats Calculator Review
Hi People!
Injustice Gods Among Us for Android / iOS (also available on KindleFire via Amazon App Store) is truly an addictive game. It commences by attracting you towards its Fighting part and then leads on to making you Enjoy the statistic part. Since, this game is also playable online, the enthusiasm lasts for long. For me too, Injustice is the game on which I've spent the longest time & still persistent, although I have been able to complete the offline levels.
Today I'd like to review the amazing Stats Calculator Tool, presented on lmurphy's website, which helped me a lot while playing the game and still does. So here's the link to it right away:
Lmurphy's Injustice Stats Calculator
Foremost thing, in Injustice it's not the level of character that matters the most, but its the Health & Damage stats that judge a character's quality. Although Health & Damage are not the only things that make a character good, but its a quite significant basis, more significant than levels.
Now knowing the final Health and Damage stats of a character at its final form: Level 50, Elite 7, is quite important before you decide to buy any character in the game. That's where Lmurphy's stats calculator will become handy. It already has the current list of characters, up till Prime Aquaman, that is, only 1 character, Godfall Superman is missing. Added to that you may also put in your own custom Health & Damage for a character you want.
They currently have 10% Health & Damage Boost, due to support cards, but you can also add to it, if you have an Extra Support card, due to Alliance credits on iOS or due to passive like Upcoming Mortal Kombat X Scorpion, who has 8% extra Health boost per promotion, making it a total of (8*7+10)% Health boost at level 50 elite 7. It comes out to be 66%, so put in this value rather than simply 10%.
Finally Special 1, Special 2 and Super Damage calculator has also been added, to know more about which character is better, like Batman has very less special 1 damage.
So I hope you like that tool, it may help a lot.

Remove Glitches from Games on Android
Hey guys
So, I'm posting after quite sometime and today I've decided to resurrect with a Post on Android Apps and Games & a really annoying glitch based upon them.
INTRODUCTION
So the story goes like this- A friend of mine had a problem with one of the games he got on his Motorola Moto G, which runs Android Kitkat version currently and has a very good performance for not hanging and nice gaming. Batman: Dark Knight Rises was the game. There was no problem with the gameplay speed or Frame-rate. But the issue was that the game just closed itself after a couple of minutes of playing it!!! NO ERRORS TOO!! !
Once, my pal even commenced believing that his Phone isn't good enough for the game. Then on my Moto G (Yes! I also have one :D ), I downloaded Injustice: Gods Among Us version 2.1 for Android. It is a great Card and 3D fighting game, which can even be played online against Players from all-over the world. In that, whenever I reached the Gear Cards Settings, my game just closed, similar bug and very annoying, to not to be able to use Gear Cards.
Also, the game didn't display the video that's shown before start, I always had to skip it, otherwise the game would just Shut Down.
This might just not happen with Injustice: Gods Among Us for Android or Batman: Dark Knight Rises for Android, But some other bigger Apps for Android too. Take for instance, games like Spiderman Unlimited, Iron Man 3, The Amazing Spiderman, The Amazing Spiderman 2, Mortal Kombat, GTA: Vice City, GTA: San Andreas, Real racing, Drag Racing, GT Racing, etc. To that, the solution had to be found. We were already thinking the the answer would be tough!
THE SOLUTION
But the solution was exact opposite to our intimidating expectations. What had to be done, was simply Restart your Phone. That's right folks, just Restarting the phone would be enough to eradicate the glitch of game shutting down for no reason on your Phone.

Is it Legal to Download YouTube Video? {Clear Answer}
Magnificent piece of work has been done by Google, by creeping through almost all factors of technology. YouTube is one of those, which keeps on running and as a matter of fact, I believe, after Google itself, YouTube is the second most influential Search Engine. Although many of you might know it, but it's still necessary to mention that YouTube is a Video Hosting Website, which has become prominent over the years and is improving every microsecond!
Today, I'm gonna talk about an issue that has been discussed more often than not- Whether it's Legal to Download Videos from YouTube? I've dropped my usual "Hey Guys" thingy before starting the posts today, let's see how it goes (I've also done some other changes, rather my earlier posting pattern). Don't worry, nothing's wrong, just trying something new!
Anyways, The clear answer by me, based on some thinking and research on the topic of YouTube Downloading is (drumsssssssss! :D ) NO!!! it is not justifiable. Although, on a small scale user level, it is allowable, i.e. you won't be charged for YouTube Downloading, as a user (Non-commercial), 99.99% of the time.
ABOUT YOUTUBE
First things first, it's mandatory to tell what YouTube is. As I mentioned earlier, YouTube is a Video Hosting Website, the best in the world, which allows you a variety of features for Uploading and Editing Videos with your Google Account. The best of all- it offers a huge chance to get traffic to your videos.
That traffic can further be harnessed to earn money, with the aid of AdSense ads showing in your videos from time to time. A lot of people have this measure of earning as their Main Full-time Work! And believe me, if it works for you, go for it! The best feature of it, then would be flexibility and freedom.
YOUTUBE DOWNLOADING
Now, YouTube, officially provides many Video Based features, but not downloading for users, i.e., ability to store videos on hard drive to then watch it even without Internet. Many might say, what's wrong with that? Well consider a case where all users get the ability to download Videos.
Then, everyone will watch a video online only once, leading to a considerable decrease in YouTube's Traffic, enough to cause damage to users whose main work is YouTubing, further leading to the reduction in the quality of Videos posted on YouTube, as the users uploading them might not be interested in small-scale user base.
That's How big this decision is! Therefore, to stop YouTube Downloading on a mass scale, an evidence was seen back in time when Android took its footsteps onto version 2.2 & 2.3, where many apps like Tubemate, were disallowed from Android Market, as a lot of people commenced using it, which is not good.
But now, the question arises - Why there are still a large number of YouTube downloading softwares, available. Well, speaking not from the paperwork, I personally think Google doesn't want to take a big action against YouTube Downloading (The one, by the use of External Software). I think they just want to keep things under balance. If any Youtube Downloader becomes a lot famous, there are chances that they will take an action!
Now, I'd like to know whether you agree with my views or not? What do you think about the mysterious topic of YouTube Downloading being Legit or not? Whether you like my new style of posting or not? Mention that with your comments or use the "contact me" option on the website.

3 Best Apps for Preparation before losing Android Phone
Hey fellas!
With its widespread integrity and support for multifarious apps, Android has risen to be one of the top Operating Systems, from nowhere. Having said this, for an Operating System of this class, it important to have security too in it. For anything in the world, Security comes first, as without it, nothing else matters as nothing else is allowed to happen, without Security.
So today, I'd love to to show you the best 3 Apps, to protect your Android Phone, before losing it. So take a deep breath as I display them to you, don't worry about your phone. This rating is ofcourse according to me and some research (lol! quite a classy word!), I've done.
The 3 Apps are : Where's My Droid, Android-Lost & Android Device Manager. The basis of my choice is not that one is better than the other. It's just that (in a deep sense), these apps have distinct features, so you gotta decide which one out of the three suits you the most. So this post will also be like the difference between these 3 Best Apps. The general difference is:
Where's My Droid is partially free and provides good Basic services, without payment and even has the offline SMS feature to access phone's location, when it's not even connected to the Internet.
Android Device Manager has been provided by Google itself and is Official, so it has its uniqueness.
AndroidLost is almost Free and I think, more or less, a medium between Google's lost phone service and you, so kinda near to Official.
Out of these I personally use Where's My Droid and inbuilt Android Device Manager, on my phone. I loved that where's my droid can work, with just an SMS and GPS on, no Internet required! Although the chances of providing accurate device location reduce, without Internet!
Let us discuss all of the above three Apps. Remind you, it's in no specific order, the one whose features suit you, will be the Best for you.
WHERE'S MY DROID
Where's My Droid is one of the most successful apps in finding lost Android Device. The 92896 (current) ratings for it, on the Google Play Store are an evidence for the same, with an average of 4.5/5 Star Rating. The App has many features organized in a serene simple interface, giving liberty to use them.
Both Free and Paid Premium versions are available. Ofcourse, more features are offered by the Premium version, but the Free one is also adequate for a basic user. Features in the free version include finding phone by its ring, Finding phone by its GPS Location (my favorite), using SMS to consult Phone GPS and other commands, Notification for SIM Card Change in Phone, GPS Flare (Notification when phone's battery drains out, & some more.
My favorite out of these is the finding Phone's GPS Location. What I liked the most was I was able to find my Phone's Location, even when it wasn't connected to the Internet! Through GPS and SMS only. What I did was, just setup Where's MY Droid on the Phone, turned on the GPS, pick up another phone, send a special Keyword to my phone through SMS and as a reply got my Phone's Location accurate to 13 meters.
And ALL THIS WAS DONE WITHOUT INTERNET, JUST SMS & GPS!!!
This is why this App suited me the most, because mostly I never turn on my Mobile Data. Added to that, it can send me notification when phone's SIM Card is changed, that too Sent from the theif's number as SMS and also when the Phone's Battery is very less (I guess less than 10%).
Androidlost which we're gonna discuss now, also provides this SMS Feature, but I think in that, you need to register the number first, before sending an SMS Command from it, which is kinda tough in some cases. Also, the fact that Where's My Droid provides the option to use Email or Phone while sending out the notification is good. Not only SMS, Where's My Droid can also be accessed online, from its Website.
If you want me to tell you a limitation, I'd suggest that it's understandable! Like, some Advanced features are only available to paying users (But the basic Phone Locator is Free) and more. Also, some Advanced features require Admin Control on your Device.
Here's the Google Play Store URL for Where's My Droid:
Where's My Droid on Play Store
If you wanna visit its Official Website for details about its features and methods to use Where's My Droid, you can use the following link:
Where's My Droid Website
ANDROIDLOST
This one is another popular Lost Android Phone Locator, again with numerous features. It shows like it's a medium between Google's Lost Android Phone Service and you, providing advanced features. It also has achieved 41,545 ratings on the Play Store, with average 4/5, which is good.
Like, Where's My Droid AndroidLost also provides an SMS feature to locate the phone, offline, but it requires the number from which you're gonna send the SMS Command to be registered beforehand. Hence, more Security, but less Versatility. Other features like Phone Alarming to find it, flashing Screen are also available.
A good point is that it uses Google Account Sign-in, which makes it quite trust-able, although it requires your Phone's Admin privileges. By "Admin Privileges", I'm reminded of another post of mine, where I talked about the way to Uninstall an Android App having Admin Priveleges on your device, you can see that:
Uninstall Admin Android Apps
Also, while using AndroidLost through Internet, it gives a reply to a command as: "Command sent to Google who will then forward it to your Device" or something like that behaving as a medium between you & Google.
Important Links for Android-Lost are:
AndroidLost on Play Store
AndroidLost Website
ANDROID DEVICE MANAGER
Well, apart from external service, if you want a lost phone finding service from Google itself, Officially, Android Device Manager is available, so it is quite trust-able. The simple Interface provides ways to Ring, Lock or Erase the Phone Remotely, but requires the Phone's Internet Connection to be active.
The Google Play Store Link for Android Device Manager is:
Android device Manager on Play Store
So, now that I've reviewed the 3 Apps, you would also know the different features offered by the three, So choose the one you like and tell me how it worked for you? Did you like it? Use comments or Contact Me Option on my Website.
With its widespread integrity and support for multifarious apps, Android has risen to be one of the top Operating Systems, from nowhere. Having said this, for an Operating System of this class, it important to have security too in it. For anything in the world, Security comes first, as without it, nothing else matters as nothing else is allowed to happen, without Security.
So today, I'd love to to show you the best 3 Apps, to protect your Android Phone, before losing it. So take a deep breath as I display them to you, don't worry about your phone. This rating is ofcourse according to me and some research (lol! quite a classy word!), I've done.
The 3 Apps are : Where's My Droid, Android-Lost & Android Device Manager. The basis of my choice is not that one is better than the other. It's just that (in a deep sense), these apps have distinct features, so you gotta decide which one out of the three suits you the most. So this post will also be like the difference between these 3 Best Apps. The general difference is:
Where's My Droid is partially free and provides good Basic services, without payment and even has the offline SMS feature to access phone's location, when it's not even connected to the Internet.
Android Device Manager has been provided by Google itself and is Official, so it has its uniqueness.
AndroidLost is almost Free and I think, more or less, a medium between Google's lost phone service and you, so kinda near to Official.
Out of these I personally use Where's My Droid and inbuilt Android Device Manager, on my phone. I loved that where's my droid can work, with just an SMS and GPS on, no Internet required! Although the chances of providing accurate device location reduce, without Internet!
Let us discuss all of the above three Apps. Remind you, it's in no specific order, the one whose features suit you, will be the Best for you.

Uninstall any Admin Android App
Hey Boys & Guys!
While using the famous Android Operating System, have you ever stumbled upon an app, which doesn't let you uninstall it? If yes (or even if your answer is No :P ), today I'm gonna talk about why some apps don't let you easily uninstall them and also, the way to uninstall them. Briefly speaking, this post will be about Administrative Android Apps.
The OS being used by me will be Android 4.4.4 (KitKat, the latest so far). I'm not sure about the methods in other Android versions, but I think, the settings should should be more or less similar.
WHAT ARE THESE ADMIN APPS?
So first things first, What are these Administrative Android Apps? You see, there are some apps in Android, which require Phone's All settings access, rather than simply installation. The settings like, Changing Lock Screen, Changing security codes, Turning GPS On/Off etc. are very delicate ones and normally aren't handed over to any App.
But some apps can have them, with a special permission from you (the user). The Apps which successfully get these permissions are Admin Apps. It's not like they crave to have them, but just that their functioning increases by having them. For example, App lockers, like Vault may need them to lock apps OR Android Device Manager needs them to find the exact location of the Device.
Once an App has these Admin rights, they don't get directly uninstalled. They first need to be removed from having Admin privileges & then Uninstalled, making it a 2-step procedure.
HOW TO REMOVE ADMIN APPS
It's not that tough, but just a little indirect: As I said, first remove the App from Admin Privileges (Deactivate) & then Uninstall:
1. Choose the Admin App, you wanna uninstall.
2. Go to Menu>> Settings >> Security (under PERSONAL Header) >> Device administrators (under DEVICE ADMINISTRATION header).
3. Untick the App for which you wanna remove Admin rights. (It might also ask for confirmation, so confirm it too)
Note: If you're not sure, which App to deactivate, Visit the App in Play Store, there you should see the option to Deactivate. Tap on it. After a while, deactivation confirmation will reach you. Make sure, you're online.
4. After removing the Admin rights, all you gotta do is Uninstall the App, the methods for which are many! You can use the one you like!
One of the methods is to Long Press the App, in the menu, & drag it to the uninstall option, which deletes it quickly.
That's it!
ENJOY!!!

Easily get subtitles for any Video on Android - Subloader
Hey Readers!
Subtitles is a topic a little into contradiction. While there are some people who like subtitles, others believe that Subtitles on a video aren't good, as they deviate your focus from the video itself. But yeah! I believe if you're newbie to a language, Subtitles are a great help, to understand a video.
So today, I'd like to show you, how to grab subtitles for any video on Android. No need to download the big video again, all you need to do is download the .srt Subtitles file, which is not large and will get your Video integrated with Captions on the Go!
What the App "Subloader" will do is- it'll itself search for the Subtitles and will bring you the best result and also integrate your Video with the Captions file. But yeah! only the popular videos like videos of movies or Episodes may bring good results , as there are some videos to which No Subtitles are available on the internet. This app works on Android OS.
To open a video for which the subtitles have been downloaded & paired, you'll need a nice Video Playing App, one of the best of which is MX Player. You can see its review by me at:
See Now
WHAT THE APP DOES
If you wanna manually search for subtitles yourself, what needs to be done is:
1. Search for proper subtitles , not only by movie's name but by timings too, so that subtitles work with the same synchronization as the characters speak. Which is not quite easy and absorbs a lot of time, if manually done by probing the internet.
2. Integrate (Pair) those subtitles with the video , which is usually done by renaming the subtitles with the same name as the video and then using a good Media Player to be able to detect that and finally play the video along with the specified subtitles.
Like everything else, if all the above work is done manually, it'll more time consuming and with errors. So for this, the solution has been provided by the App, Subloader, which does all the above work, only by a single command, to download and pair the captions.
Subloader works on Android OS and uses the websites OpenSubtitles, Podnapisi and Subscene, to download and pair the subtitles. Remember, the subtitles will automatically be downloaded and paired & then will be playable if you use a good Media Playing App, like MX Player for Android.
The App works by detecting the videos on your device. When you open it, the videos on you device will be listed and then you may choose the video for which you want the subtitles. Ofcourse, internet will be required.
THE DOWNSIDE
After listing the usefulness of Subloader, its downside can be the limitation that mostly all subtitle searching methods have: the data is incomplete. There are still many videos, for which subtitles have not been made or properly distributed & can't be found.
GET THE APP
So try the App yourself, by downloading it from Google Play Store. See if you find it nice or not. Use the following link:

Download Subtitles for Videos directly on VLC Media Player- VLSub
Hey Readers!
With its great efficiency and widespread Video Playback support, VLC Media Player has become one of the best in the the category of Media Players on PC. Not only I, but many others also say the same. Earlier, I gave a post on fixing the Out of Sync Audio or Subtitles on VLC Media Player, you might wanna check that out:
Out of Sync Audio & Subtitles Delay Options on VLC (fix)
Today it's the time to discuss about one of the new enhancement Plugins, which I've been able to probe in the VLC Media Player- VLSub. It's an addon for VLC on PC, which helps to download subtitles directly with VLC Media Player. I'm also gonna show a few screenshots to display its working.
Have you ever wanted to find subtitles for the video you're playing? I think you might have heard of getting them from the Internet itself. But downloading subtitles from the Internet is not totally like an open Treasure Box. You gotta Search for them, find the best match with the Video you've got, find the download link and hopefully, they work well & don't have timing issues. Also, to use that .srt File with your Media Player, you'll need to rename it with the same name as the Video File.
Even if everything above, which has quite many variables, works well, you'll need to perform the same process for every video, you have, which is a frustrating labor work.
To this, VLSub resolves the issue to a little extent by providing a method to find and download subtitles from VLC Media Player, without opening your Web Browser.
THE PLUGIN
So, as I said, VLSub removes the middlemen of the process of harnessing subtitles from websites, by directly downloading the subtitle file from the Internet and attaching it to VLC Media Player. Now the question arises How does it do it? & also, How to use it?
Well, VLSub has been linked with the popular subtitle downloading website, opensubtitles.org. All that user needs to do it open VLC Media Player, type some Media Information like name; Search & if suitable subtitles are found, that user selected subtitles can be commanded to download and it'll directly integrate with the file, thus improving the Subtitles downloading process by the On the Go! like stuff.
The Plugin, on VLC Addons Website has been published by "exebetche".
ISSUES RELATED
Although the concept of VLSub is very nice and somewhat dreamlike, if you're frustrated of downloading subtitles from the Web Browser and then integrating them, there are some bugs associated too. The current Version (as on 30 August, 2014) of VLSub is 0.9.12. As the version is still under the value 1, it can directly be incurred that it's a software not completely Bug-free!
I myself have found some of the bugs. The first being that the plugin, VLSub does not work with the VLC Version: 2.1.x, on any platform. Although it has been reported to be usable for Versions 2.2 on Mac and Linux. For Windows Users will have to currently install an older VLC Version, like 2.0.8, to work with VLSub.
Another bug which I encountered was that "Search by Hash" option didn't work for me, so I had to myself enter the name of the Media for which I wanted the subtitles.
But "Search by Name" worked fine. I was even able to find the correct subtitles for a couple of videos and then I simply used the option to "Download" them, which then itself downloaded the .srt Subtitle file and also added it with the exact same name as the video, so that in future too, it'll play with the video, thus reducing my labor of Searching, Downloading & Naming subtitles.
DOWNLOADING & INSTALLING VLSub
The VLSub Installation has been very well shown on its official webpage on addons.videolan.org, so I'd want you to know Installation of VLSub from its download webpage only. However, I may the the Usage process. Here's the URL of the webpage where you can see Installation Instructions and also download VLSub:
Visit Now
The Installation will involve copying a file (of VLSub) to a specific folder.
Also, on Windows OS, you might wanna download VLC 2.0.8 to use VLSub, as it doesn't work for 2.1 series, here's VLC Media Player 2.0.8, download page:
Visit Now
HOW TO USE VLSub
Now, the reason why I mentioned the Issues related to VLSub, prior to the usage itself, is because I wanted you to be ready for the kinda problems you might face and also to know the right method (with lesser bugs) to download .srt files using VLSub. To use VLSub:
1. Open the Video file, of which, you want the subtitles, with VLC Media Player, after installing VLSub.
2. Pause the Video, choose "View" in the Menu Bar and then VLSub.
3. The title of the video might already be there, according to the Video's file name. I know that we lazy people don't sometimes give the apt name to a file, so you might wanna change the title to the name of the video.
For example, I needed subtitles of Waka Waka song by Shakira, so I typed "waka waka".
If you wanna know, how to search for the Correct Subtitles, with the right timings in sync with the video, see the following post:
Tutorial to Download & Add Subtitles to Movie or Episode
4. If you watching a TV series, you may also add the season and episode number of the series, with the name of the TV Series, already in the title bar. If it's not an Episode series, leave the other options blank.
5. Press "Search by name" then.
6. The Search Results, will appear, click on the one that seems to be appropriate & choose Download Section.
7. If it shows "Success: Subtitles loaded" result, your chose subtitles have been integrated with the video, even for future use. That is, if you open the video in future, subtitles will already be there, as their .srt file would be added.
I hope you liked the above tutorial, to use VLSub, to make subtitle downloading easy.

Google Play Store Secret - pub: Search Filter
Hey people!
Google Play Store has really accelerated its way to become the best place to search for new stuff. The humongous variety of app on Google Play Store has attracted innumerable people, to buy a Phone having Android Operating System in it. The multifarious Apps is the best thing, I like about the Android Operating System.
Today, I'd like to notify you about a special tip, quite like a Secret- the "pub:" Search Filter / Tag, that may help you have better Search Experience, by displaying important results from a particular Publisher on the Google Play Store.
If you're an Android User, the power of it, might already be know to you. The reason for a huge number of Apps is that the developers have been able to access the Pure Android OS for FREE. Therefore, people have easily been able to edit the edit and test them on the Android OS. Result: A lot of developers & Apps.
THE PUB: SEARCH FILTER
These Apps have been nicely presented on the Google Play Store, the App Section of which was formerly known as Android Market.The Google Play Store can be accessed and Apps' information can be viewed on PC too, on the Web Address: "play.google.com".
While browsing the Play Store, one might want to see Apps from a particular developer, like to view all Official Apps from Google itself on the Play Store, I'd want to see apps from the developer "Google Inc.". On PC, this can be done easily by clicking on the link for the developer , thus visiting the URL in the following format:
But on mobile phone, this becomes futile as Mobiles generally run Google Play Store in form of an App, where visiting a URL is not possible and therefore all apps from a particular developer cannot be viewed, by visiting the developer's URL.
To this, a remedy is provided by "pub:" Search filter on the Play Store. What you need to do is, on the Google Play Store, simply search something like:
where "Google Inc." can be replaced by the EXACT NAME of the Publisher, you want to view the apps of. By, Exact Name, I mean that you should care about case-sensitive (Upper & Lower Case different), Spaces, dots, etc.
This will display all the Apps of the Publisher, you've put the name of, in the Search results. Like in the above example, I'd view all apps from Google Inc. But only those apps will be displayed, which are compatible with your Android device.
To find the Publisher's name of a particular App, that you know, there are many ways. One of the best methods is to visit the App on the Google Play Store (either Web or Play Store App) and see just under the App's name Header to find the Publisher's name
That's it! I wish you liked my small tip.
Google Play Store has really accelerated its way to become the best place to search for new stuff. The humongous variety of app on Google Play Store has attracted innumerable people, to buy a Phone having Android Operating System in it. The multifarious Apps is the best thing, I like about the Android Operating System.
Today, I'd like to notify you about a special tip, quite like a Secret- the "pub:" Search Filter / Tag, that may help you have better Search Experience, by displaying important results from a particular Publisher on the Google Play Store.
If you're an Android User, the power of it, might already be know to you. The reason for a huge number of Apps is that the developers have been able to access the Pure Android OS for FREE. Therefore, people have easily been able to edit the edit and test them on the Android OS. Result: A lot of developers & Apps.
THE PUB: SEARCH FILTER
These Apps have been nicely presented on the Google Play Store, the App Section of which was formerly known as Android Market.The Google Play Store can be accessed and Apps' information can be viewed on PC too, on the Web Address: "play.google.com".
While browsing the Play Store, one might want to see Apps from a particular developer, like to view all Official Apps from Google itself on the Play Store, I'd want to see apps from the developer "Google Inc.". On PC, this can be done easily by clicking on the link for the developer , thus visiting the URL in the following format:
http://ift.tt/1poF84i.
But on mobile phone, this becomes futile as Mobiles generally run Google Play Store in form of an App, where visiting a URL is not possible and therefore all apps from a particular developer cannot be viewed, by visiting the developer's URL.
To this, a remedy is provided by "pub:" Search filter on the Play Store. What you need to do is, on the Google Play Store, simply search something like:
pub:Google Inc.
where "Google Inc." can be replaced by the EXACT NAME of the Publisher, you want to view the apps of. By, Exact Name, I mean that you should care about case-sensitive (Upper & Lower Case different), Spaces, dots, etc.
This will display all the Apps of the Publisher, you've put the name of, in the Search results. Like in the above example, I'd view all apps from Google Inc. But only those apps will be displayed, which are compatible with your Android device.
To find the Publisher's name of a particular App, that you know, there are many ways. One of the best methods is to visit the App on the Google Play Store (either Web or Play Store App) and see just under the App's name Header to find the Publisher's name
That's it! I wish you liked my small tip.
ENJOY!!!

Best Adsense Ad Placement Locations- tip on Google Support too
Hey Fellas!
While using Google Adsense to optimize the earnings from a website traffic one has, it's also necessary to place ads at specific locations on your website, the parts which are more seen by the users, although you should not follow the wind by simply adding them anywhere, Google's Guidelines to properly using AdSense ads, so that they don't interfere with the fair-play are also to be followed.
Briefly, one may generalize that Ads should be placed at the part, where users concentrate on your website, keeping care of Google Adsense's guidelines of correctly placing these ads. Logically this place, where Users concentrate, is near your Content (Text / Images / Videos).
So today, I'm gonna suggest you where that best Heat Zone is, along with the talk and link for Google's recommendation itself on "Best practices for ad placement". This is probably the best method to increase Click through Rate (CTR- Average clicks you get), which I've found to be working by my own Personal Experience.
THE ISSUE
If you have your ad placed only on the sidebar (a good location, but not the best!), you're probably gonna get about 30% of the clicks, which your website is actually capable of. Yes, I mean your CTR (Click through Rate), that basically tells how many average clicks on ads you get, could increase 3-fold, i.e. Thrice. Mathematically the increase level being 300%.
And without clicks, earning is not good and without earning, you know! So this increase is necessary to have a fine stable earning, but ofcourse taking care of AdSense policies.
Now, the answer to why a sidebar ad doesn't work that well would be that still no concentration, is paid by the reader, to it! The best remedy is placing the ad, near the text, your visitors may pay attention to ads then.
THE LOCATION (Tip on Google AdSense Support Website too)
So as I suggested earlier, that Good location, where people will see your ads- Near the content, but wait, don't place the ad anywhere near the content using your coding skills, Hacker! Complying with AdSense guidelines is also important. First let us take a look at few URLs on official support.google.com, where very important information has been provided.
So, here's the link to "Best practices for ad placement", on AdSense Support, which provides general important tips on the best place to place! :
Visit Now
Also, you might wanna take a look at things about ad placement, that AdSense does not allow for ad Placements:
Visit Now
From the first link, about Good Practices, I'd like to quote, "Place your ads close to the content that your users are interested in, also make sure that users can easily find the content they are looking for." This is a very good brief description, of good ad placement for a high CTR: Place the ads near the content, making sure that the content is easily find-able.
Now you'd be wondering, this statement can be very wide at times and there should be a set of guidelines, to determine, the correct good CTR Ad Placement. The answer to this is provided by the second URL, which mentions some very important DO-S & DON'T-S for ad placements, so I recommend, you read them all. But still, I wanna mention a few points out of the above two support links for ad placement, which I find to be very important:
1. Place your ads near the content , where the users concentrate the most, so ads in-between or at the side of text, work the best. But you gotta take care of some appropriate guidelines too. On the right hand side of those 2 screens, there's also picture showing bad example of a Layout, Pushing Content below the fold. Trust me, if you implement these ad placements, near the content, keeping care of policies, you may see a big increase in the CTR (telling number of clicks) on your Google AdSense Earnings.
2. While placing ads, one has to make sure that the content of your website doesn't mimic ads, like AS YOUR CONTENT: there shouldn't be something with a clickable header, then a link and then some text (similar to ads).
3. Content should not be pushed below fold. For instance, ads should not be placed on the top which would make the content come afterwards. This practice is also against AdSense Ad Placement policies. Also, a special tool has also been provided by Google, to see what they think as being above or below fold, as there can be different browser screen sizes and resolutions. That is, to see from their eyes. This Appshot tool, can be accessed in the following URL:
Visit Now
4. Also, ads should not be placed near the links, Download Buttons or as a precaution, anything clickable, which may make the users accidentally click the ads, in place of the link.
So, that's it for this post! Generate good results from your ads along with care for Google AdSense guidelines with the above points and links (provided in the post).

Watch on Youtube- Itni Si Baat (1981) Full Movie Online
Hey Guys
Bollywood Industry through its long enjoyable road has produced a lot of fabulous stops in the figure of its content: movies. Every genre has been covered and the films have also adopted in accordance with the current generation. But that doesn't mean that films of the past are past, they're still very much cherish-able. Infact, some of them are even more enjoyed than the films of the present.
Today, I'd like to present, a movie of the past that still persists to provide good entertainment; a description along with the link to watch the Full Movie online on Youtube, available for Free: Itni Si Baat (1981).
THE MOVIE
Itni Si Baat is one of the nice entertaining movies that along with the comedy also provide the viewers with a unique lesson. It's the tale of a unique couple. Sanjeev Kumar, Moushumi Chatterjee, Arun Govil, Tamanna, Urmila Bhatt and Dinesh Hingoo are featured in the Entertainment of the movie. It's a job well done, which also reflects in its nice score of 7.0/10 on IMDB, considering it as a movie of the past (but still persisting!).
Some description now:
The storyline is about a Young guy (Raja), who decides to take a venture to travel in the BEST BUS and experience some fun in his life. The comedy arises right away as he offers 100 Rupees, for his 50 Paisa Bus ticket and is laughed on and asked to leave. But then, he's saved by a young girl (Asha), who pays for his ticket. Raja promises to repay, but instead he loses even his 100 rupee note. That is not as funny (not to laugh on others' sorrow), but it brings something new, he discovers a good relationship with Asha and they marry happily.
Short story? Wait, there's more: Asha and Raja lead a happy life, but in future with their kids, Raja's income is unable to fill the House's requirements. But in this circumstance, due to nice attitude of the couple, a split job situation occurs, where Raja commences staying at home and taking care of kids, whereas Asha starts working. But their respective new jobs incur new difficulties, they're unable to handle the new things, which incurs good comedy. I believe the lesson is: maybe split jobs of Husband & Wife can work OR maybe they both can work OR maybe they cannot! Let's see that in the film. You know, it IS / WAS believed that Husbands should work outside and wives shouldn't!
WATCH ONLINE
Let's see how they resolve their split job issues. I hope it does not lead to separation of the two. Will it? Will it not? Let's check this out by watching the Full Movie, Itni Si Baat (1981) online on Youtube, in the following link:

Why AdSense Ads should NOT be displayed below Post Title
Hey pals!
Google, with its advanced network, has the most influential Advertising service, available for Publishers & for Advertisers, in the form of Adsense and Adwords. Added to that, Adsense has also setup a few guidelines for its publishers, regarding 'The right way to Present Ads on your Website'. Ad placement policies are a fragment of that.
Today I'd like to display an important part of the appropriate way for placing ads properly on your website, as a Publisher. I think Adsense Ads should not be placed right below the Post's title. If you're currently doing it, Please stop! it may be dangerous to your Adsense Account & may lead to banning, in severe cases.
Note: This article is simply my suggestion. Since I do not represent Google AdSense, I CANNOT be completely sure. Therefore I may not hold responsibilities for problems.
I may also display the evidence for Why I'm saying that "Ads should not be placed right below Post title, in a Website/Web-Blog."
THE THING
While placing AdSense ads on a website, as a Publisher, one always tries to target the Audience and make sure that they look at your ads too, while browsing the website. This is ofcourse, a good thing. Ads are part of one's website and it's important that people look upon them too, plus it may earn you a few extra bucks too.
Heatzones, where the website visitors are most likely to see the ads, are targeted, so that good Audience viewing is produced. That's a nice thing, Think: What will be the benefit of placing ads on the lower side of the website!
But Accidental or Intentional clicks degrade the quality of Ads and as a whole the advertising service, as only the interested audience, who are interested to see the ads should click on them, no other fraud. To that motion, a guideline of correctly placing the ads on website, for Publishers, has been provided by Google AdSense, so that accidental clicks are put to halt.
In a nutshell, if you're a publisher, Ads (AdSense Ads) should be placed at a location where it's utilizable for the visitors seeing your website, to see them; Keeping in mind that those ads should not cause accidental clicks, in accordance with the AdSense's guide to Ad Placement Policies. And if you don't obey the guidelines, your account might be seized, taking the access of AdSense away from you.
Now the lines in the above paragraph can be confusing sometimes. For Example, when you wanna make your readers see ads too, so you put ads right below the Post Titles, so that the readers see that. Yes, Although, it's a good Heat-zone for making viewers see that ad, but that practice is not recommended as it pushes the content below fold, which is against AdSense guidelines.
They've mentioned that Ads should not be placed, in way, which shows the Ads first and then the text. To test it, think like a visitor, when he has the first instantaneous glimpse of your website, the ads might be visible to him & he'll need to Scroll down for seeing your Website's content. In AdSense's policies for placing ads, this way has been forbidden.
THE EVIDENCE
Many respective constructive criticizers might say, "Okay buddy! You've told us the thing, but just for complete insurance, could you give me something more, from someone else, ammmmmm probably Google."
I like things like the above sentence, some people are good at conversations, they mention the thing, without hurting the listener's dignity.
Anyways, so my reply to this would be Yes, I have evidence too, to prove that Publishers should NOT place Ads, right below their Post's titles:
AdSense Ad Placement Policies
First thing first, let's take a look upon the official Ad Placement policies, as provided by Google AdSense, to see if we're going on the right path. Also you may check other points too, to see if you're not violating. You can check AdSense Ad Placement policies, in the following URL:
Visit Now
Especially see the point "Site layout that pushes content below the fold".
Answer on Google AdSense Product forums
A concerned Publisher has asked a question regarding his website, with Ads placed, right below the Post title. See for yourself, the answer he has got, by Top Contributor, Gracey:
Note: I don't wanna highlight anything else, other than the answer to "Site layout that pushes content below the fold" query (No side-answers highlighted).
Visit Now
So here, Gracey has vividly replied that on the website, where the ads have been placed right below the post, pushes content below, to violate Google AdSense's Ad placement policy.
That's it!
I hope I didn't get your hopes down, by the suggestion. But I think, the right thing had to be done!
