A source said that Jennifer Lopez ?always loved? Ben Affleck and is getting to know him again

The captain of the Indian football team, Sunil Chhetri once again created history during the clash against Bangladesh in Doha, when he struck back to back goals to help his side not only take the win but also break Argentine legend Lionel Messiโs record for second-most goals in international football by active players.ย
Netting the ball in the 79th minute and later in two minutes into the added time, Chhetri took his tally up to 74 goals, two more than Messi but 29 goals away from Cristiano Ronaldo, who remains on top on the list of active players and on the second position of all-time scorers with 103 goals under his name.
๐คฉ Heโs now got more than Messi! Sunil Chhetriโs double earns the Blue Tigers a 2-0 win in #WCQ and moves him on to 74 international goals โ above Lionel Messi and one off entering world footballโs all-time top 10 ๐งโโ๏ธ@chetrisunil11 | @IndianFootball pic.twitter.com/sCCd6BgS9H
โ FIFA World Cup (@FIFAWorldCup) June 7, 2021
Chhetri has also made it to the top-10 list of international goal scorers of all time, which makes this record so much more special for the Indian team, and the fans who follow the sport so passionately in the country and wish to see the culture grow exponentially, just as it did throughout Europe.
Whenever Chhetriโs name is used in the same sentence as athletes like Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, one of the biggest arguments that seems to derail the conversation is about the quality of opposition that the Indian skipper faces as compared to the Argentine or the Portuguese, even if the comparison is purely based on statistics and not on their abilities as players. Surely enough, the case wasnโt any different this time around:
There is no compare between Messi and Sunil Chhetri . Yaa Sunil Chhetri is pride of our country. But comparing with him with legend Messi it's totally senseless . Messi has always scored against the top 15 nations in the world.

โ Surendra Bahadur KC (@KshetriSurendra) June 8, 2021Fortunately and thankfully, this time around, there are a few sensible people who managed to understand the difference between statistics and player comparison and were able to talk about it online as well.
Yahh sure he can sarpas the whole Indian team I couldn't agree more . Messi is changing football. When we say India yes we are late but we are approaching it . There is nothing to hate us . We have to work hard and learn more from the legend . Peace โฎ๏ธ

โ KarateLover๐ฎ๐ณ (@ICT_Fan_18) June 8, 2021Very surprising to see that some Indian football lovers (twitter kids) took this personally and started disrespecting our Indian captain just because their fav player's (Player of Argentina) name is being discussed in tweet.... These people are keyboard warriors
โ CA Shubham Mishra (@ShubhamMishra02) June 8, 2021It's sad to see how Indian themselves don't appreciate their country player

They also managed to draw three other matches and are currently at the number three position in the โSecond Round Group Eโ with 6 points. Qatar and Oman are perched at the first and second spot with 22 and 12 points, respectively.
Chhetri and Co. will be back in action against Afghanistan on Tuesday, 15th June at the Jassim Bin Hamad Stadium in Doha.

Outdoor workouts are not only fun but also the most cost effective way to get fit. More so, working out in the fresh air is definitely healthier for our respiratory health.ย
From running to walking and even sports, there are many different forms of outdoor activities that can help you improve your cardiovascular health.ย
As much as we dread cardio, we do know how important it is for our bodies. More so, running also helps in reducing stress.ย
If youโre planning to start running, youโll need to know the basics too. Here are five facts to consider before starting.ย
1. Start Small With Many Intervalsย Starting small guarantees motivation and consistency. Start by alternating between two minutes of jogging and two minutes of walking. If youโre a complete beginner, this will be enough to get your heart rate up within the first few rounds. Follow this routine and then gradually start increasing your speed and reducing your intervals.ย
__ECOMPRODUCT__1533__
2. Look For Soft Groundย If you want to make running a regular part of your fitness regime, you need to run on a soft ground. Running regularly on hard, cemented pathways invites more injuries and stress for your knees. Hard surfaces may improve your time and help you be faster but unless youโre training for a marathon, running on soft surfaces is much safer.ย
__ECOMPRODUCT__1534__
Wearing a fitness tracker might help you track your performance and timing better. You can use it to time your snacks and hydration breaks.ย
__ECOMPRODUCT__1683__
3. Never Skip The Warm Upย Warm ups will reduce your risk of injuries and help you perform much better. We understand you may be very motivated to start your cardio session but you shouldnโt miss warm up because of that. It need not be a ten minute long warm up but make sure to add some dynamic stretches and jumps before starting.ย
__ECOMPRODUCT__1532__
4. Pre-Workout SnackingEat your pre-workout snack 90-120 minutes before running and go for something thatโs high in carbs. After 30 minutes of finishing your run, replenish your body with some high protein foods. However, you can alter your snacks on the basis of how long your running hours are.ย
__ECOMPRODUCT__1725__
If youโre running for longer than 90 minutes, keep a snack handy like a candy bar to keep you going.ย
5. Mix It With Other WorkoutsRunning is a full-body workout and if you want to keep at it, you need to combine it with some form of strength training too. Running also engages a lot of your core muscles so make sure to work on strengthening your core for better performance. Depending on your fitness goal, running alone is never as good as combining it with strength training.ย
__ECOMPRODUCT__1700__
Get Started!ย Like every other sport, you need patience and consistency in the beginning to see results. Make sure to focus on these factors and youโll see results in no time!

At a time when we really have to struggle to even travel outside our cities and countries due to Covid-related restrictions, it seems like that the world's billionaires, having seen everything there is to see in the world, are all planning space travel.
ยฉ iStock
Yes, literally all billionaires are going to space.
ยฉ Reuters
We already know of Tesla and SpaceX founder Elon Musk, who is crazy about the idea of space adventures, and there is also British billionaire Richard Branson, whose Virgin Galactic, is planning on conducting space flights for the ultra-rich.
Now, the latest person to be added to the list is Amazon's billionaire founder, Jeff Bezos, who we feel is just done with the world for now. (We're kidding). He probably just wants a break!
ยฉ Reuters
Bezos is planning to fly off to space along with his younger brother, Mark, on what will be the first crewed flight of the New Shepard, the rocket ship that has been built by his space company, Blue Origin.
ยฉ Reuters
As per reports, the flight has been scheduled for July 20th, which is 15 days after Bezos is expected to resign as the CEO of Amazon.ย
"Ever since I was five years old, I've dreamed of travelling to space,"
ยฉ Reuters
"On July 20th, I will take that journey with my brother. The greatest adventure, with my best friend," said Bezos, in an Instagram post.
According to reports, the 57-year-old billionaire entrepreneur's crewed flight will see Blue Origin's six-seater capsule and 59-foot rocket set off towards the edge of space on an 11-minute voyage that will reach more than 60 miles above Earth.
ยฉ Reuters
The rocket and capsule have both undergone secretive and extensive testing for a period of almost six years.ย

Mahatma Gandhi'sย great-granddaughter, Ashish Lata Ramgobin, has been accused in a forgery case and a six-million rand fraud.ย
She has been sentenced to jail for seven years by a Durban court.
ยฉ Wikipedia
The trial for the same started back in 2015.ย
Lata Ramgobin allegedly showed papers and forged invoices to persuade the potential investors that the three containers of linen were being shipped in from India, as Brigadier Hangwani Mulaudzi of the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) said. Lata was released at 50,000 Rand back then.
ยฉ iStock
She also sent the note from the bank that the payment was done, added Kara. Maharaj signed a written agreement with her for the given loan amount based on Lata's family credentials. Later, when Maharaj figured that the documents were forged, he put criminal charges on Lata Ramgobin.
Ramgobin is the daughter of Ela Gandhi and the late Mewa Ramgobin. She refused to appeal the conviction as well as the sentence by the Durban Specialised Commercial Crime Court.
As for Ramgobin, she was the executive director and founder of the Participative Development Initiative at the NGO International Centre for Non-Violence. She claimed herself as โan activist with a focus on environmental, societal and political interests.โ

As with most movies in The Conjuring universe, The Devil Made Me Do It claims that it is based on a real-life incident. While this is true, it would be foolish to think that whatever we see in the film is historically accurate.
ยฉ Warner Bros. Pictures
In fact, the makers have taken a lot of liberty while making the movie. They have also omitted quite a lot of things that would have made the film a whole lot more interesting. Needless to say, it is actually interesting to find out, how accurate is The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It.
ยฉ Warner Bros. Pictures
Here are 7 things that filmmakers Michael Chaves, James Wan & Peter Safran left out in the movie, about the trial of Arne Cheyenne Johnson.
1. The First Case In US History Where The Defense Was โNot Guilty Because Of Demonic Possessionโ ยฉ NBC
This was the first case where the defence lawyer presented a plea of Not Guilty because of demonic possession. Arne Johnsonโs lawyer was called Martin Minnella, who would later go on to become a best-selling author for a book he wrote on his role in the case.ย
2. The Mysterious Old Man ยฉ NBC
The movie starts with the scene of David Glatzelโs exorcism. Prior to the exorcism, David had often seen and been attacked by a โdemonโ who had taken up the shape of an old man. During one of the many interviews that Arne gave to the press, during and after his trial, Arne had also spoken of this old man who would say him to do certain things. Lorraine Warren also spoke of seeing the apparition of an old man standing near David, when she met him for the first time.
3. A Possessed David Predicted Arneโs Manslaughter ยฉ Warner Bros. Pictures
Gerald Brittle, who worked as an assistant to the Warrens and would often set up the cameras and recording devices, wrote a book about the exorcism of David Glatzel & Arneโs trial. As per his book, during the exorcism, a possessed David, had predicted that Arne would commit manslaughter. A show made by The Discovery Channel, A Haunting, which also covered the case, spoke of this prediction. However, the filmmakers completely skipped this. It was because of this recorded prediction that Lorraine Warren, had asked the local police to reach Bonoโs kennel before the stabbing was reported.
ยฉ Wiki Commons
4. Both Arne & Bono Were Drunk At The Time Of The Stabbing ยฉ Warner Bros. Pictures
One thing that the film got completely wrong was the sequence of the stabbing. On the day of the murder, Bono had taken Arneโs girlfriend Debbie, her cousins, and Arne out for lunch, where the two men drank a lot, and got visibly intoxicated, as recorded in the court documents and the police report. The party then drove back to Bonoโs kennel, and stayed there for some time, during which the two men were drinking again.
5. Before The Murder, Arne Got In A Heated Argument With His Landlord Bono ยฉ Warner Bros. Pictures
Debbieโs youngest cousin, Mary, wanted to get some pizza when they were at Bonoโs place. When they returned, Arne was apparently in a trance, not knowing where he was. Debbie suggested that she should drop the kids back home, and asked everyone to leave the room. At this point, an agitated and intoxicated Bono grabbed Mary. Arne re-entered the room and began shouting at Bono, although Mary and all her cousins testified that he was growling instead of shouting. At this point, Arne took out a pocket knife, flung himself on Bono and stabbed him repeatedly. Bono had been stabbed about 10-12 times, not 22 as the movie claims. Of this 10, 4-6 were around his vital organs, and it was these stabbings that killed him.
6. The Jury Was Not Allowed To Consider The Demonic Possession Defence ยฉ Wiki Commonsg 3 Missed
The judge clearly from the start of the case that โDemonic Possessionโ was a defence that he would not entertain. As a result, Minnella had to come up with a defence that would imply that Arne had lost his self in the heat of the moment, and had gone temporarily insane. During the course of the trial, Minnella tried a number of tactics that would give the jury members, that Arne was in fact possessed by something other than himself. One of the biggest mistakes that Minnella made, however, was that they did not plead temporary insanity, and that cost them.
7. If Allowed To Consider The Demonic Possession Plea, Arne Wouldโve Been Acquitted ยฉ Warner Bros. Pictures
The prosecutor for the case pushed for the death penalty for Arne. However, Arne and Minnella were able to charm the jury. Even though he did not plead temporary insanity, Minnella was able to convince the jury that Arne was not himself on the day of the stabbing. Furthermore, reporters back then described Arne to be gentle, soft-spoken and docile. After the verdict, one of the jurors said in an interview that they wanted to acquit Arne, but simply couldnโt because they were specifically ordered to not consider Demonic Possession as a plea, and the fact that defence never plead temporary insanity. As a result, instead of first-degree murder, they found Arne guilty of manslaughter, a hugely reduced offence. The judge then gave Arne a jail term of 10-20 years, of which, Arne had to serve just 5, because of his good behaviour behind bars.
The Bottom Lineโฆ
Historical inaccuricasies notwithstanding, The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It is a pretty good film to watch if you like the Conjuring franchise of films. It may not be the best horror film, especially given what we have nowadays, but it surely does the trick of keeping you glued to your seats.

The second season of Manoj Bajpayeeโs The Family Man released last week on Prime Video and those who still have it on their watchlist, better act fast because memes and spoilers of the show are already doing the rounds on the internet.ย
ยฉ Prime Video
The corporate life isnโt treating Srikant, the spy, well and his young overachiever boss, Tanmay Gosh, makes it worse for him every day. The web series has captured the corporate world in its true essence and we can see ourselves in Srikant.ย ย
Managed to watch few episodes of #Familyman2 .
My summary -
Corporate Life = Screen, Chair, Printer, Coffee Machine, Celebration, Dining in fancy expensive restaurants AND 'Not to be a MINiMUM guy' - definition of minimum is defined by respective bosses .. #minimumguy
โ Harshlata (@Harshlata12) June 7, 2021
In the series, his boss keeps a tab on his clock-in time, pushes him to work harder and not be a โminimum guyโ while he nods and then later vents it out with his colleague over smoke breaks. Sounds relatable? Twitter users found it extremely relatable too.ย

Here are some โminimum guyโ memes made on the scene that netizens definitely canโt get enough of.

BCCI President, Sourav Ganguly has been in Dubai for a couple of weeks, with the primary motive to make arrangements for establishing the second leg of the 14th edition of the Indian Cricket Team in the United Arab Emirates.
View this post on Instagram
While the resumption of the IPL seems to be happening rather seamlessly, it is what Ganguly has been doing in his free time that is making the people of the country a bit angry.
Recently, the former Indian skipper shared a picture of him suited up in a car racerโs kit, a face mask, a pair of aviators, and a helmet in his hand while letting his followers know that he did some car racing while sharing how hot it can become behind the wheel.
ยฉ Instagram - Sourav Ganguly
However, this picture left a few of his followers red-faced and critical of what the 48-year old was doing in Dubai, especially when his country continues to struggle and tries to stand up after the crippling wave of the coronavirus pandemic.
One of the most well-regarded celebrities within the country, even Ganguly was not spared by social media critics, who felt the need to tell the former athlete what he should be doing with his free time as if he was an infant.
ยฉ Instagram - Sourav Ganguly
Eventually, not even Dada could stand against all the online hate and ended up removing the post from his Instagram profile. This isnโt the first time Ganguly received criticism for sharing how he feels in Dubai. In yet another picture shared by the cricketers, he describes how Dubai โset me freeโฆ from lockdownsโ and was slammed again for โshowing off his privilegesโ.

Meanwhile, Omanโs capital Muscat has been added as a fourth alternative venue for the upcoming T20 World Cup other than the three cities in the UAE - Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and Sharjah.
"Yes, the BCCI, during the ICC board meeting, has formally asked for a four-week window to take a final call but, internally, they have said that they would like to keep the hosting rights and wouldn't mind the tournament being held in UAE and Oman," PTI reported quoting a BCCI official.

At a time when air pollution has been a major problem with the air quality index of many cities across India degrading with time, there has been a need to plant more and more trees so they can absorb pollutant gases in the air.
ยฉ iStock
Well, World Environment Day, which was celebrated on June 05, had been a perfect day to do just that with people across the world being inspired to plant as many saplings as possible in a bid to protect the environment.
ยฉ iStock
However, this felt like a perfect opportunity for a youth in Kandachira village of Kerala's Kollam district, to plant his favourite sapling of all, Ganja. (Yes, you heard that right.)
According to an eyewitness, a young man said to be "addicted to ganja" convinced a few other people to go ahead in planting the cannabis by the roadside, while saying that it was the plant that they "all loved".
"Let the plant grow here", the men simply said while planting the two samplings, before clicking some pictures with them and casually leaving.

ยฉ The News Minute
According to reports, the excise team has been working to nab the planters soon, however, the simple, ganja-loving creatures have been nowhere to be seen.
Probably, spreading the joy somewhere else by planting more such trees to make people even...'happier'.

On Monday, Harbhajan Singh had to offer a humbling apology to his followers online and offline for sharing an incredibly controversial post that portrayed Khalistani separatist leader Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale as a martyr.ย
June 6, 2021, was the 37th anniversary of Operation Blue Star and the Sikh cricketer shared a story from his official Instagram account which depicted Bhindranwale as a protagonist. After facing a barrage of hate comments and criticism, the spinner quickly realized his mistake.
Singh issued an apology to the people of India, albeit the explanation given by him for such a debacle did not help his case either.
My heartfelt apology to my people.. pic.twitter.com/S44cszY7lh
โ Harbhajan Turbanator (@harbhajan_singh) June 7, 2021
"I just wish to clarify and apologise for an Instagram post yesterday. It was a WhatsApp forward that I posted in haste without even realising the content used and what it signified or stood for. That was my mistake I accept, and no stage do I subscribe to the views on that post or support the people whose pictures were carried," the Kolkata Knight Riders teammate said on the micro-blogging website.ย
"I am a Sikh who will fight for India and not against India. This is my unconditional apology for hurting the sentiments of my nation in fact any anti-national group against my people I do not support and never will," he added.
"I have given my blood and sweat for this country for 20 years and will never ever support anything that is anti-India," Singh concluded.
However, Singhโs apology seemed to have little to no impact on the upset fans:
You did that intentionally which backfired really bad
Or you didn't try n invest few seconds and feelings to post a proper message on an important day.
Don't know which one is true!

โ jss (@jss69440048) June 7, 2021ย The Instagram story shared by Bhajji consisted of a poster in which Bhindranwale among others, was called a martyr and the caption he was in Punjabi read "Heartfelt tribute to those martyred in Operation inside Shri Harmandir Sahib on June 1-6, 1984"

Singh remains the only Indian cricketer from the 2003 World Cup to have not announced his retirement from the international level, even though the last match that he played for Team India was back in March 2016 - more than five years ago.
