World T20: Saqlain's presence in West Indies camp makes Pakistan uneasy

The presence of former Pakistan spinner, Saqlain Mushtaq in the West Indies camp has made the Pakistan management and players uneasy ahead of a clash between the two teams in the World T20 which is expected to decide the semifinals line up.

Saqlain, 37, who took 208 Test and 288 one-day wickets for Pakistan has been working with the West Indies board as spin consultant and is with the West Indies team in Bangladesh.

His role has so far got praise from West Indian spinners, Samuel Badree and Sunil Narine.

And in return, Saqlain who has also worked with the Bangladesh and New Zealand teams has described Badree and Narine as world class operators.

Badree said Saqlain had a calming influence on the team and that helped their performance.

"To be honest Saqi has been a wonderfully calming influence on the team. He is one who does not get worked up or anxious over any situation. He does not panic at all and has a calming influence on us," Badree said ahead of the match against Australia that his team won yesterday.

Sources in the Pakistan team said that having played with Saqlain for a long time, head coach, Moin Khan was aware the influence the former off-spinner could have on the coming match.

"Moin has been advising his players to pay a lot of respect to the West Indian spinners because of Saqlain`s presence and has pointed out that with conditions helping slow bowlers in Bangladesh they must be well prepared for the coming match," one source told PTI.

"Moin is also aware that Saqlain could play a big role in helping the West Indians tackle the Pakistani spinners particularly, Saeed Ajmal and Zulfiqar Babar competently," he added.

Saqlain, who is seen as a trend setter and was perhaps the first off-spinner to fully master the "Doosra" delivery, said he was a professional and his primary job as spin consultant was to see the West Indian spinners deliver their best against any opponent.

"Yes, I am a Pakistani and obviously I follow Pakistan cricket and love to see them do well. But as a coaching professional when West Indies plays Pakistan in the tournament it will be my job and wish to see Badree, Narine and the other spinners do well and help the team win," Saqlain said.

Saqlain said he was now enjoying the challenge of coaching bowlers for T20 cricket as the format brought out the winning streak in every player. "When we played I went in with the desire to win and to win I knew I had to do well. That passion remained with me till the end. Today I see that sort of passion missing in some of the bowlers and in T20 cricket it is needed the most for bowlers," Saqlain told a Pakistani television channel.

The off-spinner, who rued that the Pakistan cricket Board had never tried to utilize his experience and coaching skills, said more than in any other format T20 cricket required the bowlers to be remain calm and composed at all times.

He said he was expecting a close match between the two teams.

"As a spinner it is great to see the slow bowlers dominating this tournament. Because in T20 cricket you still require lot of skill and a calm presence to deliver under pressure when the batsmen have lot of things in their favor," he said.

Earnings will depend on traffic, regions etc. It contains many tools like Mass shrinker, Bookmark-let, Google analytic, Full page script, Website entry script, Export links and stats. Forum which enables users to get news, announcements, discussing problems and thing related to money making with internet.

FACEBOOK’S ADFLY TRICK : I have about 20,000 fans on my page on facebook and two facebook accounts with about 10,000 friends, so whenever I have an interesting product to direct them to or a website with an interesting article that might interest them, I copy the website address and shrink it at Adfly, then copy the shrinked link and paste it on my facebook’s fan page and on my two facebook accounts wall with a descriptive short note attached to it urging them to click it and visit the product’s website.

People who are interested in the product always rush to click the link and visit the website which earns me money each time somebody clicks on it to visit. Adf.ly pays you more than $4.00 per 1000 clicks on your shrinked or shorten link.

So when about 30,000 people on my facebook’s fan page and friends from my two facebook accounts click on my short link i make up to $120. I also use ADFOCUS, another website which is similar to Adfly to double that amount, however Facebook has banned and blocked Adf.ly link on their website but i still outsmart them and post my links.

How it works : After shrinking or shortening my link at Adfly, i copy it and then go to nulrefer.com and click the cloak option box then paste the link in the box and click generate, then copy the generated link which cannot be blocked again by facebook and paste it on my facebook fan page wall and my profile wall with an attractive short note directing people to click on it and visit the website i want them to visit. But it’s better to use this trick on your referral link alone to avoid ban. You can use Adfocus, klyso, ityim etc on facebook because they are accepted.

TWITTER’S ADFLY TRICK :
Write an attractive but highly exagerated note directing people to click on your link eg: ‘buy a car with just $10.00, click and visit from here: http://adfoc.us/126101′ This is highly recommended if you want to earn big with Adfly. I easily earn more than $45.00 on twitter by applying this tip.

You can make more than $300 per day on youtube alone if you have a very popular and interesting video that can attract a large number of people.

FORUM’S ADFLY TIPS:
Put the exagerated short note in your forum signatures, this will make people to click on it each time you commented on the forum’s post. However I earn little ($18.00 or less $15.00)on forums because I don’t have much time to comment on posts.

OTHER ADFLY TRICK :
you can also visit other social network websites wherever you find a large number of people interested in a particular topic, search that topic on google then copy the website link and shrink it at Adfly then copy and paste the link on the social network website and direct the people to click the link and visit the website for their favourite topic.

If you are new to Adf.ly or just need some tips in order to help boost your Adf.ly earnings, you have come to the right place, Adf.ly is a link shortening service similar to tinyurl.com which shortens a link such as http://news.google.com/nwshp?hl=en&tab=wn into http://adf.ly/4rpL0.

This service not only makes it easier for you to post your links, but also pays you for everyone that clicks on it. Currently Adf.ly pays up to $.050 to $4.00 for 1000 clicks of your link.

You maybe thinking “$.050 that’s only pennies”, or “how can I ever get 1000 clicks on my links.” I’ll address those 2 questions below.
Earning pennies isn’t much money?
My payment from Adf.ly last month. Pennies can really add up fast.
Update: Latest payment:

1000 clicks? Sounds impossible!
The main concern with most everyone using Adf.ly is TRAFFIC, and how to get more traffic to click on their links. This is always a complicated question to answer because as everyone knows, it’s not easy to generate your own traffic without a lot of long, hard work. BUT there are ways where you can USE traffic from other sources. Another thing to consider is that Adf.ly pays you for up to 5 visits from the SAME PERSON. This means that if you have 5 links and the person clicks on all of them, you will get paid for all 5 visits! So, basically, you will not need 1000 people to visit your links as long as you have multiple links for your visitor to click, thus you will need less people to reach that 1000 clicks. I will list below, several ways to use traffic from other sources to help increase clicks to your Adf.ly links.

Youtube traffic
This is probably the most well-known method to generate Adf.ly traffic. The easiest method would be to find popular videos that are receiving a lot of views on Youtube. Download the videos to your computer using one of the many free Youtube downloading sites or software. Re-upload the videos to your own Youtube account and title it similarly, or as close as possible to the original up loaders title. This method will get you views for your links posted below the clips, but I will go one step further to help you get the maximum amount of views.

Step 1. Choose 3-4 videos in a certain genre (example: Breaking News). Download these videos and then re-upload them to your Youtube account, BUT, set only one of those videos to “public”, the others set them to “unlisted”. The reason for this is that if ALL of your videos are “public”, all one has to do is to check out your channel page and they can watch all of your videos without having to click on any Adf.ly links.

Step 2. Create Adf.ly links to all of the “unlisted” videos.

Step 3. Under the “public” video, post a caption like this “Breaking News story #2 etc… and then add your Adf.ly links below the clip. If your “public” video is popular, you will definitely get views on your other videos, which means you will be getting Adf.ly clicks.

Step 4. Rinse and repeat steps 1-3 using different videos from different genre (comedy, fails, songs etc)

Step 5. Now go to your channel page. On the left column you will be able to add all of your Adf.ly links and descriptions. (use the old channel view, the new one sucks IMO)
If you decide to go the Youtube route, don’t just stop with 3-4 videos (one genre). Try and find as many different genre videos to list. If you can generate just 100 clicks from your 3-4 “News” videos a day, you can generate 1000 clicks from 10 different other genres, right?

Forum traffic
Another easy method getting traffic from other sources is to post your links on forums, news boards etc. This is pretty self-explanatory and doesn’t need much explaining.

Craigslist traffic
This is probably the FASTEST way to get clicks and traffic. Now, getting Craigslist traffic is not as easy as just posting your links in ads. Craigslist has banned the use of Adf.ly in posts. However, all is not lost because I will show you an easy way to utilize Craigslist and it’s millions of views per day. Popular items can earn 1000′s of hits a day during the life of the ad. My method has worked extremely well and is only limited to the amount of ads you place. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that if one post can bring you 1000 hits a day then 10 posts can bring you 10,000 hits a day. Join me below and learn my method of using Craigslist traffic to boost your Adfly income.

Of course I do not condone posting fake ads on Craigslist, and this is being shown only as an example of how to generate Craigslist traffic to your links. That being said…

*Note: The tips listed above are just basic techniques that you can use to increase clicks. Read below for information on how you can learn the advanced techniques that help me earn $100′s per month!

An additional $2.60/1000 views?
While posting pictures on tinypic.com etc is a good way to host your pictures, we have been using picture hosts that PAY you every time someone views your images. ImageTwist and Imageporter which pays up to $2.60 for every 1000 clicks of your picture. Of course this works hand-in-hand with Adf.ly on Craigslist, coupling both of these services together will earning you up to $9.20 per 1000 views. The only difference, is to replace the uploading of your pictures to tinypic.com to ImageTwist and ImagePorter instead. If you do decide to use these sites, please use my ImageTwist referral link here and ImagePorter referral link here. Join using my referral links and I will show you advanced techniques on how to earn maximum profits. Email me after joining and I’ll help you get started.


UPDATE:
Imagetwist and Imageporter have stopped paying for non-adult images. If you do post adult images, these sites still do pay very well. For non-adult images, I have switched to Imagehyper and found the results just as satisfactory. They pay up to $2.70 per 1000 views of your images.

Bangladesh will look for its first win against Pakistan in Twenty20 Internationals when the two teams face off in a Group 2 clash at Dhaka.

Tamim Iqbal requires 30 runs to become the first ever batsman from Bangladesh to reach 700 T20I runs.

Bangladesh is still in search of its first win in the Super 10 stage and the host will head into the game against Pakistan facing a do-or-die situation as a loss would certainly put it out of the race for a spot in the knockouts.

Pakistan, on the other hand, is coming in on the back of a morale-boosting win against Australia and will look to carry that momentum into Sunday’s match.

Ahead of their clash, here are some key facts.

Facts:

Pakistan has won all six of the previous T20Is between these teams, most recently at the ICC World Twenty20 in September 2012.

Five of the last six T20Is involving Bangladesh have been won by the team batting second.

Anamul Haque is the leading run-scorer in T20Is in Bangladesh, with 270 runs in eight innings.

Tamim Iqbal requires 30 runs to become the first ever batsman from Bangladesh to reach 700 T20I runs.

Approaching Milestones:

Shoaib Malik needs 69 runs to become the fourth player to hit 1,000 T20I runs for Pakistan.

Mushfiqur Rahim needs 46 runs to become the third player to score 500 T20I runs for Bangladesh.

Key Battles:

Umar Gul v Anamul Haque

Anamul Haque has developed into Bangladesh’s most potent T20I batsman. With Tamim Iqbal and Shakib Al Hasan struggling, a lot now depends on a player who had played just three T20I matches before this tournament. Anamul’s average of 38.6 and strike rate of 130.4 compare favourably with the star batsmen in the format and the opener’s task now is to convert the starts he regularly makes – he has reached 20 in seven of his eight innings but has hit one half-century, with a top score of 58.

Umar Gul is one of the most experienced Twenty20 bowlers around and showed plenty of nous as he helped his team put the squeeze on Australia in Pakistan’s last match. His figures of 2-29 from four overs showed he is close to his best form after a long period of injury problems.

Gul is the ultimate Twenty20 strike bowler, having taken four wickets in a T20I innings on six occasions, more than any other bowler.

Below is a comparison of features…

The competition for the best Android phone in the market is getting hotter. During the next few weeks – and more so by the spring edition of Gitex 2014  - three new phones are scheduled to hit the UAE market.

Samsung unveiled Galaxy S5 at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona this February and is scheduled to launch retail sales by April 11. Sony unveiled the Xperia Z2 at the WMC and later had a separate event in Dubai to announce its latest models for the Middle East market.

Sony, too, is set to launch its new products including the Xperia Z2 by the second or third week on April. HTC One (M8) that was only launched on Tuesday has already on sale in the US. The Google Play edition is available for $699 and is expected to ship in two to three weeks. The Middle East sales are also expected to start around the second week on April.

While the official pricing for the Galaxy S5 is yet to be announced, an online retailer has already listed the product on sale for Dh2,999 and is offering it at Dh2,699 at 10 per cent discount. In comparison it has priced the HTC One (M8) at Dh3,699 but offering a 9 per cent discount for Dh3,399. The Google play edition of HTC One is priced at $699. Sony is yet to reveal its pricing for the Xperia Z2.

The Spring edition of Gitex will especially throw up an interesting competition between the three new models and lay emphasis on the marketing strategy these brands adopt.

Here is a comparison of features between the Galaxy S5, The Xperia Z2 and  the New HTC One (M8).

Design and Size

Galaxy S5

It was widely expected that Samsung would this time around go in for an improved metal case. But that was not to be. The Samsung Galaxy S5 has marginally increased the display size to 5.1” HD super Amoled display with 1080 pixels resolution. But it retains the same old plastic design. From the front both the S4 and the S5 looks almost the same. The bezel on the side has gone slightly slimmer.

Bollywood actress Katrina Kaif has been embroilled in one controversy after another throughout her career.

She has probably been paying the price for dating some of the hottest heroes of the Indian film industry. First, it was Salman Khan and now Ranbir Kapoor.

The duo have been caught holidaying in exotic locations throughout the world. The tinsel town has fairly constantly been abuzz with rumours of the pair tying the knot. Every time they are caught with a member of the Kapoor family, fresh rumours have mushroomed.

Kareena Kapoor Khan, Ranbir's cousin sister, did not help matters, when she called Katrina "bhabi" meaning sister-in-law during a television chat show with ace director Karan JOhar.

However, Katrina has never come out and spoken about her personal relationships. She continues in same vein. Meanwhile, in a recent interview, she has refuted the wedding rumour and said that she has no plans to getting married to Ranbir Kapoor and she shall let the world know whenever she makes such a decision.

What could have fanned the wedding rumour? Probably the fact that both Katrina and Ranbir are currently working together with Anurag Basu on 'Jagga Jasoos'. The duo have  worked together earlier as well in films such as "Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani" and "Raajneeti", which have gone on to become blockbusters.

Petitioner alleged that the couple is spreading obscenity in society.

(FILE) Pakistani actress Meera poses during the promotion of a film.

A homemade video featuring Pakistani actress Meera and her husband captain Navid Shahzad, an airline pilot of Pakistani origin settled in the US, sparked a controversy in the country when it was released on the internet a couple of months ago.

Now a Pakistani court has issued an arrest warrants against the actress and her husband.
The police have been directed to produce them in court on April 2 in connection with their alleged sex video, which has leaked online.

The judge issued the order on a petition, which accused Meera and Captain Navid Shahzad of committing a sin by filming their intimate moments.

The petitioner alleged that the couple is spreading obscenity in society and urged the court to make an example of them.

However, Shahzad remains defiant and says there was no need of such hue and cry about the video since they are married.

The video went viral and has been uploaded by unidentified persons to several websites over the past few days.

The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority had cut off access to the video following a request from Meera, who has appeared in two Indian films.

Although Meera claimed that it was a fake video, Shahzad has since insisted that since he and Meera is husband and wife there is no point in making the video controversial.

Big match for Pakistan vs Bangladesh important match for Pakistan team. 

At: Sunday Venue: Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium, Mirpur .

Match 27 of ICC World Twenty20 2014 between Pakistan and Bangladesh.

He is Pakistan’s go-to man against all opposition, in all conditions. Every time any Pakistani captain has looked for a breakthrough, or sought out a bowler to control things, in all formats of the game, he has turned to Saeed Ajmal. More often than not, the off-spinner with easily the best doosra in world cricket has delivered.

A late bloomer – he didn’t play his first international game till he was past 30 – Ajmal has been quickly making up for lost time since his debut in July 2008. In 33 Tests, he has winkled out 169 batsmen at 27.46, inclusive of nine five-wicket innings hauls, while 110 One-Day Internationals have fetched him 182 scalps at a frugal 22.24 and a wonderful economy of 4.14.

Ajmal, though, is at his most effective in the Twenty20 International version, where he is thus far the highest wicket-taker, with an astonishing 83 victims from just 61 games. His average of 17.22, economy of 6.27 and a wicket every 16.4 deliveries are second overall only to Dale Steyn, who, it must be kept in mind, has only played 36 T20Is.

The top three wicket-takers in T20I cricket are all Pakistanis – Umar Gul occupies the second spot with 77 wickets from 54 games while Shahid Afridi has 75 from 72 – and are involved in a personal battle to determine which one of them is the first to 100 international Twenty20 victims. Ajmal clearly has a headstart, and is determined to be the first to get there.

“I am now 17 short, I want to become the first bowler to take 100 wickets in Twenty20 (international) cricket,” proclaims Ajmal.

Pakistan is training at the Sher-e-Bangla Stadium nets on a sweltering Friday (March 28) afternoon and Ajmal is busy perfecting his craft, wheeling away with a smile on his lips and a twinkle in his eye.

But as personally ambitious as he is, he has the team’s interests paramount, with Pakistan needing to win against West Indies and Bangladesh in its bid to maintain a wonderful record of having made the semi-final of every edition of the ICC World Twenty20 since its inception in 2007: “My aim is to bowl Pakistan into the semi-final. And we have very good chance of reaching the semifinal.”

Ajmal is one of nine spinners among the top 10 in the ICC ratings for T20I international bowlers, the sole exception being Nuwan Kulasekara, the Sri Lankan medium pacer. The spinners have particularly enjoyed themselves here in Bangaldesh, and especially in Mirpur where they have found no little assistance from the tracks. Ajmal has a record-equalling four four-wicket hauls in T20I cricket, but unlike Gul and Ajantha Mendis (twice each), or Lasith Malinga, Darren Sammy and Tim Southee (one each) among others, he doesn’t have a five-for in this version of the game.

“The wickets here are made for spinners,” announces Ajmal, a sprightly and energetic 36. “That’s why spinners like Amit Mishra and all other spinners have been very effective. I want to take five wickets in an innings during this tournament. It does not matter who my opponents are; be it Bangladesh or West Indies, my aim it to pick as many wickets as possible.”

Ajmal has figures of 4-0-18-1 and 4-0-33-1 against India and Australia respectively, but will fancy better, more productive returns in the two remaining Super 10 matches now that he has a better understanding of conditions, and now that he has bowled in a couple of games at the Sher-e-Bangla.

That he will soon come up against Chris Gayle, the most feared T20 batsman in the world, doesn’t faze him one bit. “I don’t bother who I bowl to because for me, all batsmen are the same,” he says with that lop-sided grin. “Be it Chris Gayle or anyone else, I won’t change my bowling. I will bowl the way I have always bowled. All that I aim for now is to become a consistent performer.”

As if he is already not consistent enough. This threat of becoming a more ‘consistent performer’, now, that’s a frightening thought for batsmen the world over.

Every couple wants to have a happy and healthy relationship; and to have such a relationship, you must not only love and cherish your partner, but you should also show your partner some compassion and understanding.

Huffington post recently shared tips to help you show compassion to your partner. Here are 5 ways to help you do so:

Stop asking "What's wrong?": Compassion doesn’t mean something has to be wrong. Instead ask, "What do you need from me in this moment?"

Your needs versus theirs: This is the assumptive "compassion" rule. Just because your definition of compassion is "X", doesn't mean it's theirs.

The power of touch does wonders: Touch your partner, and let him or her feel your presence without saying a word.

Admit you're wrong: This is a sticky icky, but it can be a big compassion moment in a relationship.
Be truthful: Honesty equals compassion.

British jeweller Graff unveiled Thursday what it described as the "most valuable watch ever created" - a timepiece replete with more than 110 carats of diamonds costing $55 million (40 million euros).

Unveiled at the watch industry's biggest annual tradeshow, BaselWorld, the glittering wristwatch, called "Hallucination", is set with a multitude of rare coloured diamonds.

Gemologists, designers and craftsmen had spent thousands of hours to get the watch right, said the jeweller.
"The Graff Hallucination is a sculptural masterpiece; a celebration of the miracle of coloured diamonds," said company chairman Laurence Graff in a statement.

"For many years I have thought about creating a truly remarkable watch that illustrates our all consuming passion for diamonds. The Hallucination has made my diamond dream a reality."
