FIFA WC 2026: 'Belgium Are Capable Of Achieving Great Things,' Says Coach Garcia

FIFA World Cup: Belgium football head coach Rudi Garcia has shown firm belief in his side to achieve great things as they gear up for their fourth consecutive FIFA World Cup appearance. Belgium are placed in Group G with Egypt, Iran and New Zealand, and the 62-year-old coach has set a clear goal of coming out on top in the group stage and securing a favourable draw for the next round. We need to distinguish between our objective and our ambition. Our priority is to get through the group stage. Lets come out on top so that we earn a more favourable draw and, ideally, stay put [in Seattle for the Round of 32]. That will be the objective! Garcia told FIFA in an interview. Belgium suffered a shocking group-stage exit at the Qatar 2022 World Cup but are in a much better place in the ongoing tournament, as their opponents are less experienced than they are. With 14 World Cup campaigns already under their belt, they possess vastly greater pedigree on the global stage than the rest of the group combined, eclipsing Egypts three, Irans six and New Zealands two appearances to date. Although the odds appear to be in their favour, Garcia is taking nothing for granted. We have a huge amount of respect for the other three sides in our group, he stressed. This is what the World Cup is all about. We know Egypt well; theyre one of the best teams in Africa. I know all about Mo Salah as I coached him at Roma. Were also up against a team from Oceania and one from Asia. Were obviously less familiar with them as we dont see them play as often, but were looking forward to finding out what the Iranian and New Zealand teams are made of. Lets start by respecting our group-stage opponents. Lets beat them, finish top of the group, and then well see how far we can go, he added. Garcia may be ambitious, but he is certainly under no illusions about the task ahead, well aware that Belgium sitting ninth in the FIFA World Ranking ahead of their final warm-up matches have lost some of their lustre since their legendary run in 2018. Lets start by respecting our group-stage opponents. Lets beat them, finish top of the group, and then well see how far we can go, he added.

New Report Warns of Immediate Climate Risks Across India's 11,000 km Coastline

Indian Coastal Region: Climate Projections 2021–2040’ report released by Azim Premji University, Bengaluru.    Santonu Goswami, Professor, School of Climate Change and Sustainability, Azim Premji University, Bengaluru   Focusing on near-term projections (2021-2040) the study provides actionable insights for policymakers and local communities, using CMIP6* model projections corrected for regional bias to improve accuracy. The report warns that the window for adaptation is rapidly narrowing as the 1.5°C warming threshold is expected to be reached across India’s administrative regions in the near future.      “Climate change is not some distant future challenge—it is the reality of today. 2040 is just 14 years away,” said Anurag Behar, CEO, Azim Premji Foundation . “This dataset brings to life the impacts of climate change with much greater immediacy, highlighting how we must restructure our infrastructure and governance to ensure we collectively address this crisis.”   The report traces how specific changes—from rising wet-bulb temperatures in Kerala to intensifying monsoons in Maharashtra—are already rendering traditional knowledge systems, like the Nakaih wind calendar, unreliable. It aims to provide the foundational data necessary for local authorities to build district-level resilience.   “The data in this report is a mirror that reflects a reality we can no longer afford to ignore. For decades, we treated climate change as a global abstraction — a problem of polar ice caps and distant centuries. But our findings show that for the Indian coastline, the crisis is hyper-local and immediate. Whether it is the heat stress in Ernakulam or the rising salinity in the Sundarbans, our vulnerability is visible in all aspects of our daily lives. We have a short window of time to move from reactive mitigation to proactive adaptation — we need to craft a future that acknowledges the ecological challenges faced by our nation,” said Harini Nagendra, Director, School of Climate Change and Sustainability, Azim Premji University.   Maharashtra and Gujarat’s coastal regions are entering a period of significant environmental transition, with Suburban Mumbai projected to see summer maximum temperatures rise by 1.3°C, highlighting the growing need for heat-resilient urban planning. This warming is accompanied by a marked intensification of seasonal rainfall; Suburban Mumbai is expected to face almost an additional week (+6 days) of heavy rain, while districts like Surat and Bhavnagar are preparing for Southwest monsoon surges of 23% and 24%, respectively. These shifts are already impacting local livelihoods: for instance, the Koli community in Mumbai reports business losses when unpredictable rain spells disrupt the traditional drying of prawns. By focusing on the immediate 2040 window, the report provides the granular data necessary for the West Coast to safeguard its infrastructure and unique coastal heritage. Key Findings Rising Temperatures: India’s average temperatures are projected to increase by 1.5°C, with approximately 40 coastal districts likely to see summer temperatures rise by over 1°C. Dangerous "Wet-Bulb" Heat: Coastal Kerala and Tamil Nadu will experience high summer wet-bulb temperatures, nearing the 31°C- levels considered dangerous for humans. Ernakulam Heat Spike: Ernakulam is projected to record the highest increase in maximum summer temperatures projected at +1.3°C among all coastal districts. Intensified West Coast Monsoons: Coastal Maharashtra and Gujarat will receive significantly higher rainfall with suburban Mumbai likely to experience nearly an additional week of heavy rain. Surat’s Monsoon Surge: Surat is projected to see a substantial 23% increase in Southwest Monsoon compared to historical levels. Sea-Level Rise and Erosion: Under moderate emission scenarios (SSP2-4.5)**, global sea levels are projected to rise by 15 cm by 2050, accelerating coastal erosion and creating "ghost villages" in regions like Ganjam, Odisha. Cyclone Risk: Rapid acceleration in sea surface temperatures (0.27°C per decade) is increasing the likelihood of intense tropical cyclones. Impact on Traditional Livelihoods: In Goa, unseasonal rains are destroying entire salt harvests within hours, while warming seas are pushing fish further offshore, leading to "empty nets" for small-scale fishermen. Health and Salinity: In the Sundarbans, rising salinity from frequent embankment breaches is linked to increased skin diseases and menstrual health challenges among women.   About Azim Premji University Azim Premji University, Bengaluru, was established under the Azim Premji University Act 2010 of the Government of Karnataka. Azim Premji University, Bhopal, was established under the provisions of Madhya Pradesh Niji Vishwa Vidyalaya (Sthapana Avam Sanchalan) Dwitiya Sanshodhan Adhiniyam, 2022. Azim Premji University in Ranchi is being established under the Azim Premji University Act, 2022, enacted by the Government of Jharkhand.   Azim Premji Foundation, the sponsoring body, set up all three Universities as fully philanthropic entities, with a clear social purpose of contributing to the realisation of a just, equitable, humane, and sustainable society.   Note to Editors: *CMIP6 (Climate Modeling) CMIP6 is the latest global framework for climate forecasting, combining data from over 30 international laboratories to create the world’s most accurate climate simulations. It allows scientists to "zoom in" on specific districts with much higher resolutions than ever before.   ** SSP2-4.5 is the "Middle of the Road" scenario that projects climate impacts based on the world’s current trajectory. It is used here to provide a realistic baseline, showing the immediate risks India's coastline faces if global development and carbon emissions continue at their present pace without drastic changes.

Insurance Riders: Affordable Add-Ons for Stronger Financial Security

Insurance is ultimately about preparing for the unexpected. While a standard life insurance policy primarily covers death, life’s uncertainties extend far beyond a single event. Severe illness, accidents, and sudden disability can disrupt your financial stability just as heavily during your lifetime.   For working professionals and families, managing multiple standalone policies for each of these risks is often expensive and disorganized. This is where insurance riders become essential.   Riders are optional coverage features that attach to a base policy to expand its scope. They allow policyholders to address specific vulnerabilities, like critical illness or accidental disability, without juggling multiple separate plans. Effectively, riders transform standard insurance into a customized, comprehensive safety net. They are straightforward, easy to acquire, and significantly more affordable than buying independent policies for every risk.   Here are the key benefits of Insurance riders:   Cost-Effective Customization: Everyone’s risk profile is unique. Riders allow you to tailor coverage based on your health, lifestyle, and family needs. Because they are add-ons, they provide maximum protection without straining your budget. Enhanced Crisis Support: Certain riders offer vital financial lifelines. Accidental death or disability riders can triple the base policy's payout, while income benefit riders ensure your family receives steady financial support if the primary earner cannot work. The Waiver of Premium Lifeline: This crucial rider waives all future premium payments if the policyholder faces a critical illness or permanent disability. It ensures the policy remains active, keeping long-term goals like a child's education secure. Tax Efficiency & Convenience: Bundling coverage under one policy eliminates administrative headaches. Furthermore, rider premiums often qualify for deductions under Section 80C or 80D, reducing your overall taxable income.   Here are the top riders that one can consider: Critical Illness: Delivers a lump-sum payout upon diagnosis of serious conditions like cancer or stroke. Accidental Death & Disability: Provides extra financial support if an accident causes fatality or permanent loss of income. Waiver of Premium: Maintains your coverage by pausing premium requirements during a major health crisis. Income Benefit: Supplies a regular stream of income to beneficiaries to help manage daily living costs.   In conclusion, Insurance riders bridge critical protection gaps, ensuring your coverage matches real-world risks. Instead of just buying basic insurance, utilizing riders helps complete your financial puzzle, providing true resilience when life takes an unexpected turn.

Kashmir witnesses peaceful Eid-ul-Adha celebrations amid heightened security

Srinagar, May 29:Kashmir witnessed a largely peaceful and festive atmosphere from Wednesday morning to Friday afternoon as people celebrated Eid-ul-Adha with religious fervour and authorities simultaneously intensified security preparations across the region. Eid-ul-Adha, one of the two most significant festivals in Islam, was observed across Jammu and Kashmir on Wednesday, May 27, following local moon sighting in Kashmir a day ahead of several other parts of the country. Tens of thousands of devotees gathered at Masjids, Eidgahs, and shrines across Kashmir to offer special Eid prayers amid pleasant weather conditions. Major congregations were witnessed at Hazratbal shrine on the banks of Dal Lake, Eidgah Srinagar, and prominent Eidgahs and Jamia Masjids in districts including Budgam, Anantnag, Baramulla, Shopian, Pulwama, Kupwara, and Bandipora. Worshippers dressed in traditional attire exchanged greetings and offered prayers for peace, prosperity, and communal harmony. Religious scholars and clerics, while addressing congregations, highlighted the spiritual significance of sacrifice, compassion, charity, and brotherhood associated with Eid-ul-Adha. They urged people to uphold communal harmony and extend support to the needy and underprivileged sections of society. The festival passed off peacefully without any major untoward incident reported from any part of the Valley. Authorities had put in place elaborate yet low-profile security arrangements around major religious sites, marketplaces, and vulnerable locations to ensure smooth celebrations. Security personnel remained deployed at key intersections and public places, while traffic and crowd management measures were also implemented in Srinagar and other district headquarters. Markets across Kashmir witnessed brisk business in the days leading up to Eid, particularly in livestock markets where sacrificial animals witnessed high demand despite soaring prices. Traders reported increased sales of sheep, goats, bakery items, garments, and other festival-related goods. However, many residents expressed concern over rising prices of sacrificial animals and essential commodities. Public transport operated normally in most parts of the Valley, and tourist movement also continued uninterrupted during the festive period. Families visited relatives and friends while children thronged parks and markets, adding to the festive spirit. Meanwhile, sanitation workers and municipal authorities remained active throughout the festival period to manage waste generated from sacrificial practices. Local administrations in several districts had issued advisories regarding proper disposal of animal waste and maintaining hygiene around residential localities. The peaceful conduct of Eid-ul-Adha celebrations has brought a sense of relief to both residents and authorities. IRFAN RAINA REPORTS FROM GANDERBAL Eid-ul-Adha was celebrated with religious fervour and gaiety across Ganderbal district with thousands of people offering congregational prayers at Masjids and Eidgahs.

A large congregation of worshippers offered Eid-ul-Adha prayers at Markazi Hanfia Jamia Masjid Sharief Gund in Ganderbal. Imams in their sermons highlighted the significance of sacrifice, compassion, and helping the needy, and prayed for peace and prosperity in J&K. Following prayers, people exchanged greetings and visited relatives and friends. The traditional sacrifice of animals was performed and meat was distributed among family, neighbours, and the poor. District administration and Police had made elaborate arrangements on the occasion. KHALID GUL REPORTS FROM ANANTNAG Thousands of people offered Eid prayers at the two main Eidgahs in Anantnag district - Hanfia Eidgah, Janglat Mandi, and Ahli Hadith Eidgah, Ashajipora, on Wednesday (May 27). People from Anantnag town and several adjoining villages reached the Eidgahs early in the morning to participate in the congregational prayers. Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Amod Ashok Nagpure, accompanied by other police officers, greeted worshippers outside the Eidgahs after the prayers. Police officials also distributed sweets among the devotees. Similar Eid congregational prayers were held at Bijbehara Eidgah, Mattan Eidgah, and Kulgam Eidgah, where large gatherings of worshippers participated in the prayers. Eid prayers were also offered at various Jamia Masjids and shrines across rural areas of Anantnag and Kulgam districts, including Kaba Marg, Khiram, and Syed Simnania in Kulgam. Authorities had made necessary arrangements at major prayer venues to facilitate the smooth conduct of the congregations. The prayers concluded peacefully, with people later exchanging Eid greetings and visiting relatives and friends.

The occasion also witnessed enthusiasm among children, youth, and elders, as people made arrangements for the traditional sacrifice in accordance with the spirit of Eid-ul-Adha. ALTAF BABA REPORTS FROM BARAMULLA Eid-ul-Adha was celebrated with religious fervour and enthusiasm across Baramulla district with thousands of devotees gathering at various Eidgahs to offer special prayers.

During their sermons, the religious scholars highlighted the significance of Eid-ul-Adha and the spirit of sacrifice associated with the festival.

They also expressed concern over the growing menace of drug addiction among the youth.

The Dutch team aims to secure a top-eight finish to ensure automatic qualification for the next edition. The Netherlands women's team will compete in the T20 World Cup for the first time when the event starts on June 12 in England and Wales. They are grouped with top teams like Australia, India, South Africa, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. The Dutch enter this tournament as the lowest-ranked team. Despite the tough competition, de Leede believes her team can surprise others. Our goal is to win at least two games and finish in the top eight to automatically qualify for the next T20 World Cup. It is exciting to play against some of the best teams in the world for the first time. Being the newcomers and underdogs, as the lowest-ranked team, might work in our favor to surprise some opponents and create some upsets. In any case, it will be valuable for us to meet some of our idols and learn from them, de Leede told ICC. The Netherlands are currently preparing for the tournament through a tri-series with hosts Scotland and Bangladesh before starting their World Cup campaign on June 14. The skipper noted the teams unity and depth as key strengths going into the tournament. Our biggest strength is that we really play as a team. We know each other well, we are friends off the field, and we want each other to succeed. The team is also very talented. In the Qualifier, different players stood out in every game, which was great to see. I expect the same in the World Cup, she said.

Seamer Isabel van der Woning and top-order batter Sterre Kalis have been in great form since the Qualifier, so I am excited to see them shine at the World Cup, de Leede added.

How AI Poster Creation Is Becoming a Practical Career Skill for Students, Creators, and Job Seekers

Visual communication hassurreptitiously become an integral professional skill in todays digital-first job market. Whether you arecompeting for scholarships, advertising a campus lecture, or looking to expand your freelance business, the image quality of your newspaper posters is crucial to potential success. Long gone are the days when it took a mastery of design and months to produce stellar graphics that could grab attention and driveclicks on social media platforms. Things have changed for the better, however, with AI-driven creative tools streamlining much of the process from concept all the way through to execution. For students, young professionals, andindependent creators alike, taking the time to figure out how to produce good visual content is no longer a nice-to-have; its a necessity. Its something you can actually use in the real world on your resume, when communicating with peers and senior management, asa way to brand yourself inside and outside of your company. Why Poster Design Matters in Career Development Posters are not confined tobulletin boards anymore. Today, theyre spotted through LinkedInposts, scholarship announcements, startup pitches, online campaigns, and community initiatives. There is clarity and presentation to draw in recruiters, program managers, and organisers long before they readdetailed content. From my perspective, when helping with academic projects and community programs, posters often make the first impression. Good visuals can say professional the moment they are seen; bad ones can undermine credibility, evenif the content is solid. This shift has created a new demand: people who may not be designers but still need reliable ways to produce high-quality visuals on short timelines. Lowering the Design Barrier Without Lowering Quality Generic design workflows typically requirecomplicated software, a steep learning curve or paid designers. For some students or fledgling professionals who need quickresults, these barriers can be demoralizing. AI-based modern platformsare altering that equation. They enable users to begin with an idea or a brief and createpolished posters in minutes. Instead of fighting over laying out rulesor typography, users could concentrate on messaging, clarity, and purpose. During hands-on testing, I found that AI-assisted poster tools are especially useful for: The real advantage is not just speed, but consistency. Visual balance, spacing, and readability are handled intelligently, even for users with no formal design background. Turning Ideas Into Visuals With Minimal Effort One standout feature in this space is the ability to generate posters directly from a short description or theme. Instead of manually assembling elements, users describe their goal, such as a career development webinar for students or research grant announcement, and the system produces multiple visual options. This approach saves time while still allowing customization. Colors, text placement, and imagery can be adjusted to fit institutional or personal branding needs. For professionals juggling multiple responsibilities, this efficiency is invaluable. Used thoughtfully, AI-assisted poster creation becomes less about automation and more about empowerment. Editing and Refining Images for Professional Use Poster creation does not stop at layout. Image quality plays a critical role in how professional a visual appears. Blurry photos, poor lighting, or inconsistent backgrounds can weaken the final result. This is where an integrated AI image editor becomes useful. Functionally, this is a great tool to clean up photos,get lighting right, remove distractions and maintain quality control from all visual assets. For instance, the headshots in academic posters or event advertisementscan be polished without any outsource editing tools. What makes this particularly helpful for career use is the simplicity. Instead of spending hours learning advanced editing tools, users can make meaningful improvements in minutes, keeping the focus on content rather than technical hurdles. Enhancing Visual Quality Without Reshoots Not every project allows for new photography. Many students and professionals rely on existing images, which may not always meet ideal quality standards. An AI-based photo enhancer can noticeably improve clarity, sharpness, and overall appearance without altering authenticity. In my own work, Ive used this feature to create graphics for online announcements and presentations. Fancier images appear better on screens, and retain their quality across multiple devices high stakes for digital-firstplatforms. The key benefit here is accessibility. High-quality visuals are no longer limited to those with professional cameras or editing experience. Device Compatibility and Flexible Access Professional tools have to meshwith actual workflows. AI-enhanced poster and image toolsthat work best on multiple devices. The tested platform workswith web browsers on your PCs as well as Mobile to enable users start a project on the laptop and then make fast changes from the phone when in need. This versatility is especiallyhelpful for students and freelancers who move frequently between disparate environments, such as libraries and coworking spaces. Responsible Use in Professional Contexts As AI makes creative tasks easier, ethical useis key. Posters for academia, industry and the public should of course, be correct, respectful, and ethical. AI can help with visuals, but message clarity and honesty remain theusers responsibility. When they are used as such, they aid communication rather than supplant judgment orvolition. Why This Skill Belongs on Your Resume Theability to produce professional-looking images on your own is a powerful, portable skill. That it shows that you have a sense ofdigital literacy and are also able to communicate. This skill can subtly reinforce applications and outreach efforts for an audience that is opportunity-minded, particularly when its a program people are applying tothink programs, internships, or grant opportunities. Dreaminais part of a larger trend in which the technology is changing how we learn and apply creative skills. Rather thandesign being gatekept behind technical complexity, these tools become a way to make visual communication more accessible and actionable for career success. From what Ive seen, the true purpose is not to substitutecreativity but to get rid of friction. When tools do the technical scaffolding, users canconcentrate on ideas, purpose, and impact. Final Thoughts At a time when career paths are more competitive andreliant on digital skill-building than ever, the importance of delivering ideas clearly in professional settings can be seen as an obvious advantage. AI tools like Dreamina could help you make posters, takethe
