Thousands of idle ships trapped near the Strait of Hormuz could become floating nurseries for invasive marine species

Ships lingering in the Persian Gulf could unintentionally facilitate the spread of harmful marine invaders worldwide. Extended anchorage allows marine organisms to thrive on the hulls, creating significant biofouling concerns that threaten global maritime commerce. These invasive species can inflict extensive ecological and economic harm on coastal areas. It is imperative for nations to join forces to address biofouling issues and prevent future outbreaks of invasion.

Ubon PB-SX701 Bunker Series Review: The 60,000mAh Power Bank That Actually Makes Sense

Ubon PB-SX701 Bunker Series Review: Nowadays, every gadget claims to be "AI-powered". Even power banks are trying to sound smarter than they really are. Thankfully, the Ubon PB-SX701 Bunker Series skips the AI circus and instead asks a very simple question: What if your power bank simply refused to die? As always, we brought in our in-house AI reviewer, GennieGPT. Programmed to worship specification sheets, blindly trust marketing slides, and believe every "revolutionary innovation" ever announced. Unfortunately, ABP Live's in-house AI review bot, GennieGPT has never actually carried a 60,000mAh brick inside a backpack. That's where I come in. Let's begin. ALSO READ: Asus Zenbook Duo (2026) Review: The Laptop Equivalent Of Doctor Strange, & I Can't Complain Ubon PB-SX701 Bunker Series Review: Quick Pointers What Works: Massive 60,000mAh battery Charges multiple devices simultaneously Built-in camping torch and ambient light are genuinely useful LED battery display is handy Excellent emergency backup during power cuts What Doesn't: Heavy enough to make you question your life choices 22.5W charging feels conservative for a battery this massive Definitely not something you'll casually throw into your sling bag Not A Power Bank. A Portable Generator. ✨ GennieGPT: 60,000mAh!! That's enough power to charge EVERYTHING! You'll never need electricity again! Shayak: No, this won't free you from the electricity grid. But yes, 60,000mAh is genuinely enormous. This isn't the sort of power bank you buy because your phone dies after Instagram reels. This is for people heading into the mountains, spending days outdoors, travelling long distances, or simply living in cities where the electricity department occasionally likes to play hide-and-seek. Living in Noida lately, with rain-triggered power cuts becoming almost routine, I've found myself appreciating this far more than I expected. Suddenly, having a giant battery sitting on the desk doesn't feel excessive. It feels sensible. ✨ GennieGPT: Two USB ports! Two Type-C ports! Charge four devices together! Everyone wins! Shayak: Surprisingly... yes. This is one of those moments where you're actually making sense. Whether it's your phone, smartwatch, earbuds, tablet, or your friend's dying iPhone that's somehow always at 7%, the PB-SX701 can keep everyone alive simultaneously. The 22.5W PD and Quick Charge support won't break any charging speed records, but it's fast enough for most smartphones and significantly better than the painfully slow charging speeds many oversized power banks still ship with. Would I have liked 45W? Absolutely. Does 22.5W get the job done? Also yes. Built Like A Bunker... Literally. ✨ GennieGPT: Military-style design! Carrying strap! Adventure-ready! Extremely portable! Shayak: You almost had me until "extremely portable." Portable? Technically. Comfortably? Not quite. This thing is heavy. Really heavy. The carrying strap isn't there because it looks cool. It's there because your wrist will thank Ubon after carrying this around for a while. If your version of travelling involves airport lounges and cafés, this might be overkill. But if you're camping, hiking, road-tripping, or spending nights outdoors, the extra weight starts making sense. It's less like carrying a power bank and more like packing another piece of survival gear. Think less "MacBook charger" and more "SUV battery." ✨ GennieGPT: Hi-Beam Torch! Ambient Lighting! Brightness Modes! Camping perfection! Shayak: Finally. A feature that isn't just marketing garnish. I expected the torch to be one of those things brands add because someone in a meeting thought it sounded useful. Turns out, it's actually useful. The high-beam torch is bright enough for campsites and emergency situations, while the softer ambient lighting proved surprisingly handy during recent Noida power cuts. Instead of pointing a harsh flashlight at the ceiling, the softer light comfortably illuminated the room while I continued working. It's a small feature that ends up making a much bigger difference than another AI-labelled button ever could. ✨ GennieGPT: LED battery display! Precision power monitoring! Advanced battery intelligence! Shayak: You really know how to make a battery percentage sound futuristic. The LED display is simple, clear and practical. No guessing whether you've got one charge left or five. Sometimes old-school percentage indicators beat flashy smartphone apps. ALSO READ: Noise ALT Watch 1 Review: The Everyday Hero With Marathon Battery Life Ubon PB-SX701 Bunker Series Review: Final Verdict The Ubon PB-SX701 reminds me of a Toyota Land Cruiser. Is it sleek? No. Is it lightweight? Definitely not. Will you complain about carrying it? Probably. Will you appreciate having it when things get rough? Absolutely. This isn't designed for minimalists chasing the lightest backpack. It's built for campers, hikers, road-trippers, photographers, field professionals, and frankly, anyone who's tired of watching every gadget beg for a charger before the day is over. After weeks of rain-induced outages in Noida, I also discovered another audience: people who simply want reliable backup power at home, complete with a genuinely useful emergency light. Could charging have been faster? I'd have loved 45W. But for Rs 9,990, the PB-SX701 understands its mission perfectly. It isn't trying to be stylish. It's trying to be dependable. Should You Buy Ubon PB-SX701 Bunker Series? Yes, if you're a camper, hiker, traveller, content creator, or someone dealing with frequent power cuts. Maybe, if you occasionally travel but don't mind carrying a little extra weight. No, if you're looking for something that slips into your jeans pocket. This thing barely qualifies as carry-on luggage.

Performing Rudrabhishek In Sawan? Know The Correct Seating Position For Husband And Wife

Only a few days are left for the beginning of Sawan. Shravan begins on July 30th, and Shiva devotees will be immersed in the service of Lord Shiva until August 28th. Religious belief holds that couples who worship and perform abhishekam together during Sawan will have a happy married life. You receive blessings of good fortune, wealth, children, etc. If you also perform Jalabhishek or Rudrabhishek of Mahadev in the month of Sawan, then according to Vastu, know which side of the husband the wife should sit during Shiva worship and what is its significance. ALSO READ | How Shakuni Outsmarted Yudhishthira In Every Move During The Mahabharata Dice Game On Which Side Should The Wife Sit During Shiva Puja, Right Or Left Side Of The Husband In most religious rituals after marriage, it is considered auspicious for the husband and wife to sit together and worship. There are many Vedic traditions, including puja, recitation, havan, yagya, ancestral rites, and marriage, where the wife sits on the husband's right or left side during certain religious ceremonies. On which side of the husband the wife should sit during Shiva puja in Sawan, we understand this from the verses mentioned in the scriptures. According to the verses in Sanskar Ganapati and some traditional ritualistic texts, Kanyadaane Vivahe cha Pratistha-Yagyakarmani. Sarveshu Dharmakaryeshu wife Dakshinah Smrita. That is - during Kanyadaan, marriage, yagya, deity puja, pratishtha and other religious rituals, the wife's place is said to be on the right side of the husband. The reason for this is believed to be that in religious rituals, husband and wife participate jointly as the host couple, hence in the Vedic tradition, on these occasions, the religious rituals are performed by making the wife sit on the right side. In such a situation, if husband and wife are performing Rudrabhishek or worshipping Lord Shiva together in the month of Sawan, then the wife should sit on the right side of the husband .

According to this verse from the Sanskar Ganapati text, the wife's place is considered to be on the husband's left side on certain auspicious and family occasions. These include occasions such as Sindoordaan, eating, sleeping, serving the husband, and receiving blessings from elders.

Kanwar Yatra 2026: What Is The Correct Way To Offer Gangajal? Avoid These Common Mistakes

Kanwar Yatra 2026: What Is The Correct Way To Offer Gangajal? Avoid These Common Mistakes

During the holy month of Sawan, millions of devotees from across the country embark on a pilgrimage on foot, carrying Ganges water from sacred shrines like Haridwar, Gaumukh, and Sultanganj to perform the ritual of offering water to Lord Shiva. According to religious beliefs, the Kanwar Yatra is not just about bringing water and offering it; it is a test of purity, devotion, and adherence to rules. The scriptures state that certain precautions are essential, from the Kanwar water to the ritual of the Abhishekam. Let us learn which deity is offered the Kanwar water and how it is offered. To Whom Is The Water Of Kanwar Offered? The main objective of Kanwar Yatra is to perform Jalabhishek of Lord Shiva (Mahadev). It is believed that when Lord Shiva drank the poison (Halahal) during the churning of the ocean, his body experienced intense burning sensation. To soothe this burning sensation, Lord Indra and other deities brought water from holy rivers and offered it to Lord Shiva. Following this tradition, Shiva devotees bring Ganga water to anoint Shiva during the month of Sawan . ALSO READ | Why Is Lord Shiva Offered Water? The Story of Samudra Manthan, Halahal Poison And Neelkanth Correct Method Of Offering Kanwar Water  While offering water to Shivalinga, instead of being hasty, one should follow the method as per scriptures: Physical And Mental Purity: Before entering the temple premises, wash your hands and feet and perform achamana (water-sip). Continue chanting "Om Namah Shivaya" or "Bam Bam Bhole" in your mind. Consider The Direction: When performing the Jalabhishek, always sit or stand facing north. The north direction is considered the abode of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. The order of offering water: Ganesh Ji And Kartikeya Ji: First of all, offer a few drops of water on the right (Ganesh Ji) and left (Kartikeya Ji) part of the water pot of Shivling. Mata Ashok Sundari: After this, offer some water in the middle part of the water pot (Ashok Sundari place). Main Abhishek On Shivling: Finally, offer Ganga water directly on Shivling in a slow stream. Rules Of Circumambulation: After Jalabhishek, only half circumambulation of the Shivalinga is done (Jaladhaari/Somasutra should never be crossed). ALSO READ | When Is Onam In 2026? Discover The 10-Day Celebration, Rituals, And Cultural Significance These Mistakes Can Ruin Your Journey. Violating even a single rule during the Kanwar Yatra renders the journey incomplete or broken. Following these key rules is mandatory during the journey: Avoid Letting The Kanwar Touch The Ground: The Kanwar is never placed directly on the ground. When resting, it must be hung on a stand or a tree branch. If the Kanwar filled with water touches the ground, the water is considered impure and must be refilled. Prohibition Of Leather Items: Use of leather items like belts, shoes, purses etc. is strictly prohibited during the journey. Stay Away From Tamasic Food, Intoxicants: Complete abstinence from satvik food, celibacy and any kind of intoxicants (alcohol, cigarettes, gutkha) is necessary till the completion of the journey. Bathing Again After Defecation: After defecation or resting on the travel route, the Kanwar is not touched without taking a bath.

US Sets June 2027 Drug Trafficking Trial For Former Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro

Edited by: Sean Sinico A US judge on Wednesday set a date for Venezuelan former President Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, to go on trial in New York, where they will face charges of drug trafficking. The two have been detained since early January, when US forces entered Venezuela and seized them from their Caracas home. The unprecedented middle-of-the-night raid was hailed by US President Donald Trump as a "surgical law enforcement operation" in a criminal case, which had been brought against the couple six years ago. Maduro has maintained his innocence, calling himself a prisoner of war and referring to his capture as a kidnapping. Judge Alvin Hellerstein set June 1, 2027, as the trial date for Maduro and his wife, following a joint request from prosecutors and defense counsel. ALSO READ | Iran Draws Red Line On Oil Exports, Warns US Of Regional Fallout: 'If We Don't Sell Oil, No One Will' Hellerstein also scheduled an upcoming hearing for November 17 to discuss defense motions, including a challenge to the legality of how Maduro and Flores were captured and brought to the United States. "The ‌parties all ​agree that this is a realistic schedule. We don't think it's going to slip, but obviously if anything comes up we will inform your honor," Maduro's lawyer Barry Pollack told the judge on Wednesday. Maduro Faces Life In Prison US prosecutors have accused Maduro of using the power of the Venezuelan state to protect and promote illegal drug smuggling. He has also been accused of forming alliances with cartels to bring tons of cocaine into the United States. If found guilty, Maduro and Flores face potential life prison sentences. The pair sat through the 15-minute hearing separately at a defense table, surrounded by their lawyers. They did not speak during the proceedings. But Maduro waved to an unknown person in the courtroom's gallery as he was led out of the courtroom by authorities. Pollack said his team plans to challenge the indictment on sovereign immunity grounds, saying that if successful, Maduro won't have to continue litigating the case. ALSO READ | France's Environment Minister Resigns In Protest Over Harmful Pesticides Since Maduro was removed from power, Venezuela has been led by his former Vice President Delcy Rodriguez. Rodriguez reestablished bilateral relationships with the US, with Washington effectively taking over control of Venezuela's oil exports. In turn, the US has eased sanctions on the country's oil industry, while foreign companies have expanded oil and gas projects. Don't let the algorithm hide the news.
