July 19 Korea (Seoul) form analysis
Race 1 (1,300m) (2) GOLD QUEENS was slow away when well fancied over 1,400m on June 15 and ultimately ran last, albeit in a race where the margins were not huge. She came into that race off a third place and then back-to-back runner-up finishes. So, from a good draw, is worth another chance in this company. (11) HANEUL GAMDONG has mixed his form across six outings, but enters off a close second place this class over 1,200m on June 21 when coming from a long way back. Wong Chin Chuen stays on and the wide draw can suit again. (4) HOLY KAISER did nothing in his first two starts before running out a surprise winner on June 14 over this distance. He is up in class but down in weight and could provide some each-way interest. (9) RAON NIZHINSKII and (10) MENI SHARK are others in the frame. Race 2 (1,400m) (7) HAKSAN CAIRO is yet to win in 11 starts but has never finished worse than fifth. He enters off a close second place at this class and distance on June 15 when handy throughout and just getting edged out late. Ruan Maia stays on. (1) EUMSEONG POWER has a third and a second from his latest two, most recently at this class and distance on June 1. He settles back and runs on. Will threaten late. (5) RAON THE AFFIRMED is another maiden but all of her starts have ended with her placed between third and fifth. In this company, she can be on pace and can be there or thereabouts again. (6) YEONGGWANGUI SKY and (4) GOOGOO are others to include. Race 3 (1,200m) After a second in this trip on debut, (5) SAVANNAH GUN ran fifth next time out over 1,400m on June 15. The step back in trip can suit and third-up, she can be peaking. (9) TAEKHAN has been up and down in recent starts but comes in off a solid third place over 1,300m on June 29, when he was handy throughout. He carries his fair share of weight again but, in this company, can be on the early speed and will surely be in this a long way. (4) TIARA SUA struggled in a valuable Trophy race in April but returned to shallower waters to win at this class and distance on May 11. She is up 3.5kg in weight but comes in fresh and can be in the mix. (8) KEIDRAGON looked well in two trials and can go well first-up. (3) ULTRA SOCKS is another place chance. Race 4 (1,400m) (5) STUNNING LADY comes in, following a narrow reverse at this class and distance on June 1 when settling in midfield and running on well. She remains under a fair weight and, having placed three times in this trip, she has every chance of winning. (9) AWESOME QUEEN registered back-to-back wins at 1,300m in April and May to get rapidly promoted to this class. She proved she belonged when second in this trip on June 22, albeit well beaten by a good winner. She can figure again. (1) YONGBI TAEYANG ran fourth in that June 22 race and, similarly, seems to be getting to grips with this class. (4) DAESEUNGMA and the up-in-class (3) VIVA CHEONGSU are others who can be considered. Race 5 (1,800m) (9) G MOTION overcame a wide draw to win in this class and distance on June 14, rounding off a series of near-misses. He is up 1.5kg, but in this company, he looks to have every chance. (6) NEW DOLKONG won in this class and distance two outings back before running fourth on June 21. He carries plenty of weight again and can get a bit far back, but he should be a big danger late on. (5) BELOTERO was third behind G Motion in that June 14 race and can be a place threat again. Lightly raced up-in-class-and distance (3) BLUE NELLO is an intriguing one. He is down 7kg in weight and, from a good draw, can measure up around two turns. (8) DAESEONG STAR comes off the Triple Crown trail and should find this company more amenable. RACE 6 (1,600m) (1) AQUA LINE was a long-shot winner of the Breeders' Cup Rookie last November, but then suffered an injury setback and has not raced since. He looked well running on in a June trial and, while a mile is a tough ask first-up, he can be equal to it. (9) IMRO has finished no worse than fourth in six starts and enters off back-to-back third placings in his two tries in this class, both over 1,400m. He remains under a light weight, the step-up to a mile can suit, and he is the big danger. (5) WONDERFUL SWEET has a second and a fourth in two tries at this class, both at 1,700m and both times having led. He can lead again and the cut back to a mile can suit. (6) MYUNGJINBULLPAI and (7) BEOLGYO LAVA are others to consider. Race 7 (1,600m) (3) ONE PUNCH DRAGON won five from seven, including both his latest at a mile and at 1,800m. Rises in class but is down in weight, draws well, and can win again. (8) MANDAERO was a strong second at this class over 2,000m on June 22. He has an excellent record over the mile with two wins and three placings from seven attempts, and should be firmly in the mix. (2) CITY KING is up rapidly in class, having won his latest two. He is now a three-time winner at the mile and can measure up. (6) ARGO RICH and (4) EAST JUMP are others who can place.

Land Rover Defender Trophy revives iconic Camel Trophy competition
Land Rover is reviving the iconic off-road competition that used to be known as the Camel Trophy and was held annually between 1980 and 2000. The new Defender Trophy — now without tobacco sponsorship — will have teams competing in a series of driving, navigational and physical challenges in harsh environments. The global 4x4 competition will have national qualifiers in 74 countries with a final to be held in October 2026 in an as-yet-unnamed venue in Africa. At the global final, competitors will work with wildlife agency Tusk to drive conservation efforts. The location for the final will be revealed in August 2026. The vehicle used in the competition is the recently announced Defender 110 D350 Trophy Edition which is on sale to the public as a more rugged version of Land Rover's best-selling model range. The Defender Trophy is painted in yellow similar to the iconic colour used in the original Camel Trophy (or optionally green) and rides on rugged all-terrain tyres with gloss black 20" alloy wheels. Trophy decals and badges set the special edition model apart along with a dark rear scuff plate, gloss black wheel arch guards and a black front undershield. Inside, the Defender Trophy Edition lays on tough luxury with ebony windsor leather seats and Trophy illuminated treadplates. The exposed cross car beam is finished in the same distinctive colour as the exterior and features laser-etched endcaps with Trophy branding. The six-cylinder 3.0 l turbo diesel engine produces 257kW of power and a lusty 700Nm of torque, with drive sent to all four wheels via permanent all-wheel drive and a Terrain Response system with modes for Grass/Gravel/Snow, Mud, Sand and Rock Crawl. With the air suspension raised to its maximum height, the Defender has 291mm of ground clearance.

Why is there a pineapple on the top of the Wimbledon trophy?
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) WINNING Wimbledon is one of the greatest feats a tennis player can achieve - with the men's champion presented with a spectacular trophy as well as millions in prize money! Here we take a look at the history of the cup presented to the Men's Singles winner and why there's a pineapple at its peak. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Carlos Alcaraz won Wimbledon in 2023 and 2024 3 He defeated tennis GOAT Novak Djokovic to lift the Trophy on both occasions Credit: Sunday Times The Wimbledon Gentlemen's Singles Trophy is one of the most iconic prizes in the world of sport, instantly recognisable by its elegant design and the somewhat curious pineapple ornament perched on top of its lid. The trophy itself was first introduced in 1887, replacing earlier incarnations that had been permanently won by players after consecutive championship triumphs. Crafted by the prestigious silversmith firm Elkington & Co., the trophy stands 18 inches tall and weighs approximately three and a half kilograms. It is made of silver gilt and bears the inscription: 'The All England Lawn Tennis Club Single Handed Championship of the World.' Champions receive a three-quarter size replica of the cup instead of the real thing, which is kept at SW19 throughout the year. But it's the pineapple pinnacle that draws the most attention and curiosity. To understand why this particular fruit was chosen, it helps to consider the cultural context of the late 19th century. During the Victorian era, pineapples were not the everyday treat we know today. Instead, they were rare, exotic and expensive, often imported at great cost from tropical regions. Because of their scarcity and the difficulty involved in cultivating them in Europe, pineapples became a symbol of wealth and luxury. BBC Wimbledon pundit McEnroe walked out as furious fight broke out in press room They were often used as decorative motifs in architecture, furniture and silverware to convey status and welcome. Displaying a pineapple was a way to show generosity and high social standing. It was associated with warmth and hospitality, signalling to guests that they were honoured and valued. 3 Andy Murray lifted the trophy in 2013 and 2016 Credit: AFP This symbolism made the pineapple an ideal emblem to adorn the Wimbledon trophy, which represents not only sporting excellence, but also the prestige and tradition of the All England Club. Nobody is one-hundred percent sure why the trophy features the pineapple. But a spokesperson for the Wimbledon Museum backed up this theory: "In the 17th century pineapples were impossible to grow in the UK and they had to be imported, so being presented with one at a feast was seen as a great compliment. "You might have seen pineapples being used on gateposts of stately homes as you travel around the UK. It's because of their rarity." So while no official record explicitly states why the pineapple was chosen for the Wimbledon trophy, historians widely accept that its inclusion was meant to reflect these values of exclusivity and graciousness.

Grand Conclusion of the 67th NASA India (EXCLAIM) Annual Convention in IPS Academy Indore
PNN Indore (Madhya Pradesh) [India], July 8 : The 67th Annual Convention of NASA India (EXCLAIM) concluded in grandeur and elegance at the School of Architecture, IPS Academy, Indore. The three-day national event witnessed participation from hundreds of students, faculty members, and professionals from architecture institutions across the country. The inaugural day began with an inspiring address by renowned architect Jitendra Mehta of Mehta & Associates, who emphasized the social responsibility of architecture and the importance of innovation in shaping a sustainable future. A key attraction during the event was the live jury sessions for the GRIHA Trophy and the Student of the Year (SOTY) Trophy, which drew enthusiastic participation and were evaluated by leading experts from across the nation. A traditional tree plantation ceremony was also held under the leadership of Architect Naman Shrotriya, reflecting the event's commitment to environmental awareness. One of the most memorable moments of the convention came during the concluding ceremony, where Mr. Ram Prasad Akkisetti, Co-founder and Managing Director of CCBA (Christopher Charles Benninger Architects), graced the event as the chief guest. With his profound experience, life philosophy, and deep faith in students, his heartfelt and motivational address left a strong emotional impact on the audience. He described architecture not merely as design but as a social responsibility and a medium to shape the future. "Students," he remarked, "are the true beauty and energy of this profession." Mr. Akkisetti was present especially to launch and present the inaugural Christopher Benninger Gold Medal, which was awarded to Kiruthika, a student from SPA Delhi, for her exceptional performance in architectural competitions. Addressing Kiruthika and the gathering, he stated that the medal is not just an award, but a lifelong inspiration -- especially in moments of doubt or self-doubt, it will serve as a reminder of her dedication and accomplishments. Quoting Professor Christopher Benninger, he reflected, "Our parents are a debt we carry," encouraging students to lead lives rooted in humility and gratitude. Commending NASA India, Mr. Akkisetti praised the quality, clarity, and thoughtful expression of the students, calling them a symbol of hope for the country's bright future. He described NASA as the largest student architecture organization in the country, with over 66,000 active members. Another proud moment unfolded during the closing ceremony when IPS Academy, SOA was awarded the Citation Award for the prestigious HUDCO Trophy. This honor marked a moment of great pride and inspiration for both the institution and its students. Dr. Manita Saxena, Principal of SOA, expressed immense pride in this achievement and congratulated all the students, commending their hard work and dedication. Architect Achal Chaudhary, Chairman of IPS Academy, also extended his heartfelt wishes on the successful completion of the event and congratulated SOA for receiving the HUDCO Trophy.
