   Not everyone wants to watch a full video, link to the exact location you found most entertaining instead of making your friends or family watch the full video. To do this get to the location you want and pause the video. Once paused right-click the video and select Get video URL at current time and then copy the link created.

   Alternatively you can manually add the time by adding "#t=XXmXXs" at the end of the URL, where XXm is the minutes, and XXs is the seconds into the video you want to start. For example:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKVWBUwoV4o
 would become

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKVWBUwoV4o#t=33s
to link to the video 33 seconds into the video. If you wanted to link 4 minutes and 20 seconds into a video add #t4m20s to the end of the URL. Alternatively you can use only seconds, so 4 * 60 (seconds in a minute) = 240 + 20 = 260 seconds for 4 minutes and 20 seconds into the video.

The Undo Send feature is an official part of Gmail So let's see how the feature works:

1- First, log in to your Gmail account on your computer.

2- In the upper right corner of the screen, click the Settings icon (the one that looks like a gear).

3- From the Settings menu, choose the option for Settings.

4- From the Settings window, make sure the General tab is selected.

5- Look for the setting that says Undo Send.

6- Click the check box to Enable Undo Send.

7- Click the drop-box to set the Send cancellation period, meaning the number of seconds you have to prevent the email from being sent. You can choose 5, 10, 20 or 30 seconds.

8- Scroll to the bottom of the Settings screen and click the Save Changes button.


To test the feature, click the Compose button at the upper left corner of your Gmail account page.
Compose a message and then click the Send button.

At the top of the screen, you'll see a message that says: "Your message has been sent. Undo. View Message."To prevent the message from being sent, click the Undo link.


Gmail stops the message from going out and displays it in case you wish to make any changes and then resend it. If not, you can simply close the message, and it's relegated to your Drafts folder where you can keep it or delete it.


The Undo Send feature is a handy way to ensure that the wrong email doesn't get sent to the wrong person.

These are the lists of top 12 free fast public DNS Servers that I recommend you to use:
