How to Find the Websites or Blogs that are Copying your Content
The websites or blogs that copy your content are actually committing Black-Hat SEO, which is something that Google punishes sites for. The trouble is that Google does not know who the duplicator is, and so will often punish both sites for duplicate content. This means that if another person copies your content, then they are also dragging your website down with them too. Added to this, is the insult that you have invested time (or money) into your web content, and now somebody else has come along and is stealing it.

CopyScape is a very good plagiarism checker
It is good because it has a reasonable mix of economy and quality. The truth is that there are some better plagiarism checkers out there, but they are very expensive when compared to CopyScape. On the other hand, do not let price fool you. There are some plagiarism checkers out there that are far more expensive than CopyScape and yet are not nearly as good as CopyScape.
This is a tool that you can use which will check the search engines for your content. The truth is that if the duplicate (plagiarized) content is not indexed by Google or Bing, then CopyScape is not going to find it. However, if Google or Bing has not indexed your plagiarized content yet, then there should not be any search engine penalizations.
You can check up to 2000 words in one go, and it only costs 5c. Or, you can load a number of text-filled documents into a batch search and it will check them all for you. It keys in on chains of three words. It also has a tolerance of around 5%. This is because some websites are going to have chains of three words that are the same as yours; however, if this occurs for more than 5% of the page, the CopyScape tool will show you a result. This does sometimes produce false positives, but they are few and far between.
CopySentry can stand guard over your content
If you are concerned that people are going to steal your content, then you can have CopySentry run a check on your chosen web pages every week. It is a tool offered by CopyScape, and it means that you will not have to keep running plagiarism checks manually. Also, as you can imagine, there is a small service charge for doing this, but CopyScape allows you to buy credit so that you will not have to make a payment every time it runs a check. CopyScape takes PayPal payments too, so you do not have to worry about entering your card details.

CopyScape free URL searches
Every day you are able to run five free searches on the URLs of your choice. That means that if you were so inclined, you could check 35 pages per week for free. The tool will check the entire page and then show the pages that have been copied by others. If it does find copied content, the results it gives are pretty good. It will show you how many domains have the content, and you can click on the link to see what parts are copied from your website (or content). It will tell you how much of the page has copied content via a percentage, and it will highlight any copied content in red.
Google your own topics to look for plagiarism
When somebody re-writes your content or copies your content and hides it from the plagiarism checkers (it can be done), they are often uncreative in choosing a new title. All you need to do is Google your own page titles to see what turns up. Hopefully, you will see your own page riding high in the search engine results. Look around the search engine for articles with similar titles, and you may just come across your article that has been hidden from the plagiarism checkers.

You will have trouble finding spun content
This is true because according to a web crawler and plagiarism checker, if an article has been spun then it is new. Of course, it is not new by human standards, and if you are unlucky enough to read it then you will see that it makes very little sense and that it flows as well as syrup from a coffee filter. Nevertheless, for some reason people still do it, and it is possible to file a cease and desist order if you find content that has been spun from your content because it is still plagiarism.

Hard Reset your Star Mobile Vida and remove password pattern lock gmail account
The Star Mobile Vida dropped by in my workplace and I made a tutorial in how to hard reset your Star Mobile Vida.
Hard resetting / factory resetting your phone will solve the following issues:
1. If you forgot your pattern lock
2. If you forgot your gmail account
3. If you forgot your password
4. Apps that automatically force closing
5. Stuck in Star Mobile Logo (sometimes does not work if the firmware is totally damage)
NOTE: Performing hard reset will erase your data.
To hard reset:
1. Turn off your phone.
2. Press and Hold VOLUME DOWN and Power Button simultaneously and wait for it to power on but keep holding the button until you see the engineering mode
3. Engineering mode will appear.
4.Select CLEAR eMMC, press Volume rocker to navigate and press the POWER Button to confirm your selection
5. Reboot your phone.
I hope this tutorial helps you.. If you have any question just drop a comment.
