STILL dominating radio airwaves this weekend are Diamond Platinumz’s recent projects; Enjoy that Jux  featured him and Achi, his latest collabo with Koffi Olomide.

Both projects are doing well as Enjoy has drawn over 8 million YouTube views, its audio version parades over 10m views while Achi has carved close to 5 million views, whose growth in the number of views seems to be less explosive than his previous projects with three megastars of the Congolese music; Innossy B, Fally Ipupa and Koffi himself. It is still baffling how Yope Remix, Inama and Waah quickly raked in over 465 million views worldwide.

Though it is still early, it seems hard for the newly executed projects to beat his earlier collaborations, especially Yope Remix which alone roped in over 208 million views. Inama, his duet with Fally Ipupa, has drawn over 135 million views while Waah, his first collabo with Koffi Olomide has fetched over 122 million views.

All of the works Diamond collaborated with Congolese megastars and others he did with great artists from the U.S.A, Nigeria, Zimbabwe and Kenya, Yope Remix stands an edge above the rest to the extent it has become an anthem of pan-African dance.

A fan who identified himself as Michael Moonwalking best described what added a new dimension to Yope Remix’s beauty. He said Diamond dancing was incredible.”I saw that Moonwalk at 3:49 You can always depend on Africa to continue the legacy of the Late King of Pop.

This song is truly amazing.” A fan who identified as The Familesso added: ‘Diamond is the greatest thing Africa has never had.

His genius approach and his talent are beyond any African nation has provided. An African man is talented, coordinated and representing.

He is the Michael Jackson of Africa.” Samuel Opole said upon the…

In his Southampton farewell video, there was a clip of a teenage James Ward-Prowse revealing two career aims: to get a scholarship with the Saints and to play for England. Internally, there was another dream – and that was to be David Beckham.

Not similar to David Beckham, or close to David Beckham. To actually be him.

“I copied a few of his hairstyles along the way,” the midfielder tells Sky Sports about his childhood days. “I went for the mohican, the grade two all over.”

The midfielder’s long-term association with Beckham through free-kick-taking has been long known and talked about. But the link between the pair went up a notch when Ward-Prowse took the No 7 shirt at new club West Ham, following his £30m move from Southampton.

Needless to say that the 28-year-old has been wearing that number on his back for years given his long-term fandom of Beckham.

After admitting that Beckham was his hero and the reason he picked number seven at West Ham, we look at some of the stunning free-kicks from Ward-Prowse and Beckham

“To emulate him in that way with the No 7 is a good opportunity as he was someone I emulated growing up in the garden,” Ward-Prowse says when asked about his new squad number and its link to his childhood hero.

“It was just in general, the way that he was. I would watch his game on the TV live and I would be straight out in the garden trying to perfect it, shouting ‘Beckham’!

“It was the classic Mum calling you in for dinner but I wanted to keep practicing. And I smashed a few greenhouses along the way!

“But it’s all been worth it -…

“The Last of the Mohicans” is James Fenimore Cooper’s best-known work and the total of what many people know about the French and Indian War. The book is often required reading in schools and several movies have been based on the novel. But, how much of the American classic is history and how much is fiction?

Dr. Nick Junkerman, Associate Professor of English Literature at Skidmore College, addressed this question in a program titled, “James Fenimore Cooper: History & Fiction in ‘The Last of the Mohicans.’” The presentation was held at the Fort William Henry Conference Center in Lake George Thursday evening, August 3.

The event, which was attended by more than 150 people, was presented by the Lake George Battlefield Park Alliance and the French and Indian War Society at Lake George as part of a series of programs focused on the Lake George region’s early history.  

President of the Alliance John DiNuzzo introduced the program saying, “It was precisely 266 years ago today that the siege of Fort William Henry began …  If we were here 266 years ago, we would be hearing gunfire, canons, all sorts of horror…” DiNuzzo continues, “It’s significant to America when we talk about that anniversary, certainly significant, as Nick [Junkerman] will be telling us, to the literary history of the world and of our country.”

The bloodshed at Fort William Henry that followed the 1757 siege and surrender gripped the collective psyche of the colonists and clung there as contemporary news reports and, nearly 70 years later, Cooper’s novel, set down in ink the gruesome details. DiNuzzo, in his introduction, said he believes it “…motivated the British, the provincials who fought for the British, i.e., the Americans, and even 20 years later when the revolution began, that was…

Kyneton trainer Neil Dyer is backing Kaonic’s experience to land him his fourth Darwin Cup win on Monday.

Dyer will also saddle up recent stable addition Mohican Heights, who he also believes has the talent to be a factor.

“They are both going well but Kaonic has done his apprenticeship up here in this race,” Dyer said.

Dyer’s confidence-building reference with Kaonic is his efforts in the past two Darwin Cups, which have produced a fourth and a second.

Last year, Kaonic was runner-up behind Playoffs, who set a course record in winning the race.

Dyer said Kaonic followed the favourite Living The Dream in last year’s Darwin Cup but got held up behind him in the run.

“We got held up and then ran on for second behind Playoffs, who ran a track record, so it was a pretty good run.”

Dyer also pointed out that Kaonic comfortably defeated this year’s favourite Noir De Rue last year and meets him 4.5kg better.

Dyer said Kaonic had been trapped eight and 10 wide at his past two starts, which have produced fifth placings over 1600m at Darwin, and Kaonic had finished strongly both times.

“He’s looking for 2000m; I’m quite upbeat about his prospects,” he said.

Dyer has turned to former Victorian jockey Stan Tsaikos to ride Kaonic.

“He’s ridden him twice for a win in the Toyota Cup last year and a third before that.”

Dyer said he expected Mohican Heights to improve on his debut for the stable and also in Darwin when he finished eighth.

“He’s had multiple gear changes and his jockey Aaron Sweeney has trialled him and said he’s adjusted.”

“He hasn’t had the racing up here, but he’s done plenty of other work. He’s an athlete and he can run those distances, but he doesn’t have the experience of Kaonic up here.”

Dyer has won the race three times,…

Racing.com’s Gaurav Khosla explains why your horse can or can’t win Monday’s Darwin Cup.

1. Noir De Rue

Why he can win: Beaten key rivals in both starts this prep and maps for a good run from the inside draw.

Why he can’t win: Best record is first-up. Will be regressing now.

2. Grandslam

Why he can win: Top hoop John Allen has flown in for the ride. Strips fitter and is suited up in trip.

Why he can’t win: Too bad to be true last start and he just has not been racing well of late.

3. Mohican Heights

Why he can win: Always improves with a run and should relish the step up in trip.

Why he can’t win: Well-beaten first-up and maps poorly from the wide gate.

4. Write Your Name

Why he can win: Finally draws a good barrier, strips fitter and is one from one at the trip.

Why he can’t win: Last prep he took a lot of runs to reach peak fitness, may need this as well.

5. Lake’s Folly

Why he can win: Dominant when stepping up in trip last start.

Why he can’t win: From the gate, likely to settle close to the rear and be spotting them a start. Harder here. 

6 –Sanblas

Why he can win: Crying out for the step up in trip. Was excellent two starts ago.

Why he can’t win: Performs best third-up and was very poor as the odds-on favourite last start.

7. Desert Lass

Why she can win: Been very consistent this prep and seems to race best at the longer trips.

Why she can’t win: Struggled from the wide draw last start and with plenty of speed drawn inside, may get trapped wide again.

8. He’s The Ultimate

Why he can win: Ran an improved race to win dominantly last…

History Knox

BRINKHAVEN — In addition to having gone through numerous name changes over the years, the eastern Knox County village of Brinkhaven has seen a lot of re-engineering of its roads and bridges.

The one seen in this vintage postcard image from the early twentieth century carried Ohio 62 across the Mohican River into the village. It was a single-lane structure that served as the main viaduct into Brinkhaven in the late 1800s and early 1900s.

Bridge of Dreams:
The 1930s railroad bridge has been converted to a wooden covered bridge, and is a popular attraction on the Mohican Valley Trail, which follows the route of the original railroad. (Photo by Mark Jordan.)

At that time, as far as I can figure, the Cleveland, Akron & Columbus Railroad ran in the position that Ohio 62 is currently in, going under the long-gone trestle for the Wally Railroad (the popular name for the Walhonding Railroad), which crossed north-south through town.

I believe that trestle came down in the 1913 flood, which started long-term planning for flood control, which eventually resulted in construction of the Mohawk Dam in 1937.

The dam project increased the likelihood of flooding in the valley around Brinkhaven, so the CA&C Railroad was moved up to higher ground. The new, high railroad bridge served in that function for many years, but later became part of the Mohican Valley Trail after the rails were abandoned.

The railroad bridge was clad in wood and became the Bridge of Dreams covered bridge.

At some point after that, Ohio 62 was rerouted over a new bridge in the same location of the old CA&C railroad bridge over the…
