    In a shocking incident, an owner of a private hospital in Agra admitted to gambling with the lives of the patients by snapping the oxygen supply of critical patients in both Covid and non-Covid wards in order to check who will survive.

    However, Singh also said that strict action will be taken against those found guilty of this inhumane occurrence.

    According to Chief medical officer Dr RC Pandey, seven patients had lost their lives in the same time period, and that the health department has launched an investigation into it.

    In the positive news, most of us were freed from the daily commute last year. Soon after we also realised what an impact it had on our body and mental health.

    If the mode of transport was convenient, traffic was the problem. If traffic wasn’t an issue then long travelling hours made the day miserable.
    But on second thought, we might be settling for something worse now—a sedentary lifestyle. 
    If you’ve been sitting for prolonged hours without much movement, you must have already experienced periods of stiff, achy joints and muscles. Not all of us own an ergonomically designed office chair. Most of us have been working from our hard as nails dining room chair. 
    But don’t worry, you can skip the lockdown joint pain by indulging in these super easy but super helpful desk stretches. 
    Neck StretchVirtual meetings don’t require us to move our heads as frequently. It’s natural to see an increase in neck pain. Try to schedule your desk stretches on an hourly basis. 
    Place one hand on your head and sit on the other one.Pull your head to the side, gently.Hold for 5 seconds.Reps: 20 (10 on each side).
    __ECOMPRODUCT__1726__
    Chest StretchTake your hands behind your back.Interlace your fingers.Draw your arms down while pushing your chest out.Squeeze your shoulder blades.Hold for 10 seconds.Reps: 10
    __ECOMPRODUCT__1727__
    Shoulder StretchAlign your arms across your chest.Hold for 30 seconds.Roll your shoulders backwards and forwards.Reps: 10
    __ECOMPRODUCT__1728__
    Lower Back & Glutes StretchPut your right ankle onto the left knee.Let the knee drop out.Bend forward towards your knee, gently.Stretch out your glutes and lower back.Hold for 10 seconds. Repeat the process with the left ankle.Reps: 5 for each side
    __ECOMPRODUCT__1729__
    Spinal RotationStraighten your legs and put them side by side.Take the support of the arms of your chair.Turn back to look at the wall behind you.Hold for 10 seconds.Reps: 3 for each side 
    __ECOMPRODUCT__1730__
    Tips To Increase MobilityUse a desk chair with arms so you can relax your hands every few seconds. Keep your knees in line with your hips, not higher. Don’t go to your screen while sitting, try to bring it closer to you instead. This will encourage you to use back support.Don’t cross your legs under the desk.Walk and stretch every hour.Get up for a glass of water every half an hour.Keep your laptop close to your eye level and voila, bye-bye body aches!Explore More

    Elon Musk and his tomfoolery with cryptocurrency have agitated a lot of people. No matter what pundits and experts will have you believe, but his tweets do have an impact on the crypto market.

    © AFP
    Seeing this, Anonymous recently put out a statement, which basically says that if Elon Musk doesn’t mend his ways, he will face the wrath of the white hat hackers group. The group also stated that they have had issues with the tech mogul over some of his other allegedly nefarious business practices and that Musk, is just another “narcissistic rich dude.”

    © Reuters
    Well, unsurprisingly, Elon isn’t the only tech mogul to have been targeted by Anonymous. There have been a number of tech moguls other than Musk who have been at the receiving end of some pretty damning statements from the hacktivist group.

    © Reuters
    Here 4 of the most notable ones.

    Jeff Bezos - Amazon © Reuters
    Is it any surprise that the world’s richest man was targeted by the hacktivist group? The story goes that Amazon and Bezos were staunchly against WikiLeaks. Anonymous did not see this favourably. However, after reports started coming out of Amazon’s fulfilment centres & warehouses of the inhumane working conditions that workers are subjected to, Bezos was personally targeted by the group, who hacked into his email accounts, and several social media handles, and put out some really bizarre posts.

    Charlie Scharf - CEO & Chairman Of Visa © AFP
    Visa was one of the first payment gateway companies that blocked their users from donating to WikiLeaks. MasterCard also followed suit. However, it was Visa’s then CEO, Charlie Scharf, who had to face Anonymous’ fury. Not only did they hack into his emails, they also released a few financial records of the companies that highlighted the exorbitant amount of money some of the highest office-holders received, at a time when Visa was having one of its toughest times. The hack led to some really intense shake-ups within Visa.

    The Entire Top Brass Of Sony © Reuters
    Back in 2011, Sony had sued George Hotz, a software engineer and security hacker, for hacking into his own PlayStation and reverse engineering their system. Anonymous targeted the top brass of Sony as well as the company’s systems as well, and released quite a few damning documents and emails. Anonymous’ hack also had some financial repercussions. Apparently, Sony lost over $24 Billion. After much deliberation, Sony Corp. CEO Howard Stringer was forced to resign by the shareholders.

    Tim Cook - CEO, Apple Inc. © Reuters
    Finally, we have Tim Cook. Apple is one the most valued and influential tech companies on the earth, in more ways than one realises. Have you ever wondered why repairing old Apple products are so expensive? It is actually by design. Even the screws they use have a different head and need specialised tools to be worked on. Needless to say, Apple is against the Right To Repair movement.

    © Reuters
    So much so, that when an American Tractor company was sued by a group of farmers for not allowing them to repair their own tractors, Apple actually reached the courtroom in a small town in Nebraska, an agricultural state in America, to help the tractor makers defend their case. This obviously irked every advocate and supporter of the Right To Repair movement, including a few high ranking members of Anonymous. And so, they hacked away. Tim Cook’s personal and professional emails were hacked, and so were a few of the company’s systems. However, there is no information available that talks about the extent of the hack, or the damage that it caused.

    The Bottom Line…
    Anonymous is certainly not afraid to go after people and organisations that are goliaths in their size and power. It will be interesting to see, whether Elon Musk actually gets hacked, or does he get away with a warning. Whatever happens, one thing is for sure - you don’t mess with Anonymous.

    Battlegrounds Mobile India is about to launch soon, however, it seems like the game cannot keep out of trouble due to its relationship with China’s Tencent.  
    While Krafton, the company behind the game has been clear about having any links with the Chinese developer, it seems to not be enough for Lok Sabha MPs.  
    According to Zee News, Nizamabad, Telangana, Lok Sabha MP, Arvind Dharmapuri has officially written to IT Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad asking for a probe into Battlegrounds Mobile India’s relationship with China’s Tencent Games. 
    The letter, that was sent on June 2nd, mentioned Dharmapuri has received a representation against the game by Nizamabad-based social activist Sai Kumar.

    The letter does not ask for an outright ban on Battlegrounds Mobile India but it does put the game under scrutiny. The letter highlights key issues with the game and asks the Indian Government for a probe as well. 

    According to the letter, Battlegrounds Mobile India stores data in India and Singapore and also allows for international data transfers. Dharmapuri has also asked the Union Minister to look closely at Krafton’s investment and agreements with Tencent for national security reasons. 
    It seems like the Indian Government officials have not ignored the relaunch of PUBG Mobile as Battlegrounds Mobile India. 
    Last month, Arunachal Pradesh MLA Ninong Ering had also asked to ban the upcoming game in the country. MP Abhishek Singhvi also demanded a ban on the game stating that the Battlegrounds Mobile India would allow for Tencent’s re-entry in India.

    Even with negative press, Battlegrounds Mobile India has amassed over 20 million pre-registration on Google Play in anticipation of the launch later this month. 

    Having said that, as of now the Indian Government has not determined the fate of Battlegrounds Mobile India. It could be possible that the game might get banned if the Indian Government finds practices that violate India’s national security or unearths links with China’s Tencent Games.

    David Warner shared behind-the-scenes video footage while shooting a Jio commercial advertisement from back when he was in India during the 14th edition of the Indian Premier League and the bio bubble was considered to be secured.
    In the Instagram post, SunRisers Hyderabad all-rounder Rashid Khan, middle-order hitter Manish Pandey and Warner himself could be seen on their knees, probably doing some sort of yoga poses, while being surrounded by greenscreens while the Jio song plays in the background.
    View this post on Instagram
    “Our attempt of a commercial @rashid.khan19 @manishpandeyinsta Caption this??” Warner wrote in the caption, asking his followers to give an appropriate caption to the hilarious BTS action. 
    And while Khan and Warner seem to be having fun with the whole experience, Pandey does not look pleased about all the dancing and singing and looks ready to escape as soon as the music stops.  

    While the video in itself is hilarious, it also shows that getting bid for during an IPL auction is never simply about playing the best cricket that you can for a particular franchise or a team but also get involved in activities like promotional shoots, television commercials, and social gatherings you may or may not have wished to sign up for. 
    Before IPL 2021 was suspended due to the rampant COVID-19 outbreak in India back in April and May, things ended up badly for the Australian batsman, who saw a serious demotion through the ranks within the team.

    — SunRisers Hyderabad (@SunRisers) May 1, 2021 After SRH lost six of their first seven matches, Warner was not only stripped off his captaincy but was also knocked out of the Playing XI, reducing him to nothing more than a waterboy, who’d carry drinks and sit beyond the boundary line to throw the ball back into the ground. 
    The coaching staff and the team selectors faced severe backlash due to this surprising decision while commentator Graeme Swann felt that the insulting removal of Warner was punishment for speaking up against the decision-makers for dropping Manish Pandey from the main squad following a rough stint with the bat.

    Ravichandran Ashwin has finally decided to respond to former Indian cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar’s “analysis” which explained why in his eyes, the Chennai cricketer fails to be an ‘all-time great’.
    On Monday evening, the bowling all-rounder used a cheeky meme with a dialogue from Tamil movie Anniyan to sarcastically mock the cricket expert’s assessment of Ashwin’s career so far. The translation of the meme is “Don’t say that Chari(movie character) my heartaches”.
    🤩🤩 https://t.co/PFJavMfdIE pic.twitter.com/RbWnO9wYti
    — Mask up and take your vaccine🇮🇳 (@ashwinravi99) June 7, 2021
    Not the one to back away from quick retaliation, Manjrekar once again played a victim card and expressed how surprised he was to face criticism after making a statement as bold and daring as this one.

    Also Chaari, my heart aches to see simple, straightforward, cricketing assessments kick up a fuss these days https://t.co/7r7SNqpQq3
    — Sanjay Manjrekar (@sanjaymanjrekar) June 8, 2021
    This isn’t the first time Manjrekar’s assessment of an Indian cricketer has made him look weak in the public eye. Back in 2019, he had called Ravindra Jadeja a “bits and pieces player”. The southpaw all-rounder would then go on to have an incredible World Cup stint and became India’s most successful player against New Zealand during the semi-final loss, making Manjrekar eat his words. 
    Therefore, ever since he spoke about Ashwin, the fans are expecting to see a ‘Part 2’ of the ‘Bits and Pieces’ series: 
    No need of caption pic.twitter.com/jc3Upx8J2v
    — 𝐍𝐈𝐓𝐈𝐍 𝐒𝐀𝐆𝐀𝐑 (@Nitin7304) June 8, 2021He is making fun of himself from sometime by calling players Bits and Pieces and telling Ashwin hasn’t proved outside of Asia and calling Bumrah top 5 best bowler when Bumrah hardly played a test in India.

    — ViⓥEк_Ŵ (@VivekW7) June 8, 2021 Over the weekend, in a video conference by ESPNcricinfo, Manjrekar gave a couple of reasons why Ashwin hasn’t met his expectations to be known as an ‘All-Time Great’.  
    "Ravichandran Ashwin, with due respect to him, I think he's a great guy at what he does, but when people start talking about him as one of the all-time greats, I have a few problems with that," Manjrekar said.  

    "One basic problem that I have with Ashwin is that when you look at SENA, the countries for batsmen and bowlers, places where Indians find themselves outside their comfort zone - it's amazing that he doesn't have a single five-wicket haul. Not one five-wicket haul in all these countries," he added in the video. 

    "The other thing - you talk about him running through sides on Indian pitches, when pitches are suited to his kind of bowling. But in the last four years, (Ravindra) Jadeja has matched him with wicket-taking ability throughout a series.

    "So, Ashwin is not a guy who soars above the others. And interestingly, in the last series against England, Axar Patel got more wickets than Ashwin on similar pitches. That is my problem with accepting Ashwin as an all-time great." 
    Later during the day, Manjrekar once again hopped on Twitter to further justify his words by dumbing down the meaning of the phrase ‘all-time great’ for his followers to understand. 
    ‘All- time great’ is the highest praise & acknowledgement given to a cricketer. Cricketers like Don Bradman, Sobers, Gavaskar, Tendulkar, Virat etc are all time greats in my book. With due respect, Ashwin not quite there as an all-time great yet. #AllTimeGreatExplained
