Starting with Sandy Springs a decade ago, Sen. Fran Millar (R-Dunwoody) has backed every effort to create a new city in Georgia.
He sponsored legislation to start the cities of Dunwoody, Brookhaven and Peachtree Corners and, most recently, to set up a new central DeKalb County city called LaVista Hills.
“It’s safe to say that I’ve supported every city that’s passed,” he said.
But on Nov. 3, voters in the area that would have become LaVista Hills voted down the plan for that city. The margin was slim: just 136 more “no” votes than “yes” votes out of the 13,714 cast. Meanwhile, voters in a neighboring area overwhelmingly backed creation of a new city called Tucker.
The Sandy Springs Reporter asked Millar for his reaction to the vote and his thoughts on future city-creation efforts in DeKalb County and the state Legislature. Here’s what he had to say.
Q: With the voters turning down a city of LaVista Hills, do you think the “cityhood” movement has run its course among residents in DeKalb County?
A: If you look at the votes, they’ve declined for cityhood as we’ve gone forward [with successive cities]. There have been some natural enclaves for cityhood – i.e., Dunwoody, Peachtree Corners. Brookhaven was a close vote. You’ve seen that again with LaVista Hills. It could have gone either way.
The reason I supported LaVista Hills – Number one, I support people’s right to self-determination – but I got involved with LaVista Hills because I represent that area.
I think going forward, you’re going to have to make sure you get all the parties together who really want to be a part of this. Over 60 percent of the people I represent in the area of LaVista Hills voted “yes” for the city. That’s a landslide.
Has it run its course? I hope the Stonecrest people are given the opportunity. I think now what you’re going to see is a shift to annexation by existing cities.
Q: You sponsored legislation to create LaVista Hills. Now that the voters have said “no” to that city, what happens next?
A: I think the people I represent have to decide what they want to be. Do they want to remain unincorporated? Do they want to become part of Tucker? Do they think they want to be part of Chamblee?
Q: Would you sponsor legislation to create another city in the place of LaVista Hills?
A: No. I have told my Senate colleagues that this was the last area that I represented [I would sponsor for cityhood]. The people were going to be in LaVista Hills or Tucker. Some of the people I represent are in Tucker. In LaVista Hills, I think they either remain unincorporated or they look to be annexed by Tucker or look to be annexed by Chamblee. I was extremely gratified that over 60 percent of the people I represent voted for a city.
Q: Has the concept of “new cities” lost the support of state lawmakers? Or the public?
A: I don’t think so. There are other city movements going on right now outside of DeKalb County. There’s a city pending in Forsyth County. There’s talk of a city of St. Simons. There’s such dissatisfaction with large government, i.e., federal and certainly county government, to say we want to be closer to our elected officials. The track record for cities we’ve created has been good.
Q: Why do you think LaVista Hills lost?
A: I think the borders were too far expanded outside of the original map. It wasn’t the map these people came up with.
Q: Other lawmakers argue the process to create new cities is broken. Do you agree? How should it be fixed?
A: There are some changes we need to make, absolutely. But at the end of the day, if you have some people come together and say, ‘We want to do something,’ we’re not going to stifle that process.
The cities aren’t what’s broken. It’s the counties that are broken. Here’s what I feel bad about: The people that I represented [in the LaVista Hills area] got it. I’m sorry they didn’t get the chance to have a city.
Fran Millar represents District 40 in the state Senate. The district includes a portion of Sandy Springs.

Cincinnati Bengals defense 'tired of hearing about' how bad they were in 2018
All offseason long the Cincinnati Bengals defense heard how terrible there were. The team couldn’t tackle, susceptible to big passing plays and vulnerable against the run. They heard the naysayers, and now Bengals defenders are out to prove their critics wrong.
“We’re hearing that a lot, last in the NFL. We’re tired of hearing about it” Bengals defensive end Sam Hubbard said. “We really came together and did our jobs. That’s why we were so stout.”
In fairness the skeptics had receipts. The Bengals ranked 32nd in total defense in 2018, looked up at the entire league in pass defense and only three teams had poorer run defenses.
Cincinnati’s defenders have used the negative feedback from a season ago to fuel their motivation.
The team’s confidence on defense is growing after their Week 1 performance. Cincinnati had the fourth stingiest defense in the league as far as yards allowed in the opening week. The Bengals defensive line outplayed Seattle’s O-line, creating 16 pressures, four sacks and five quarterback hits, all the while holding the Seahawks to just 72 rushing yards.
On the back end, minus a couple of chunk plays through the air, the Bengals secondary showed improvement. Their 161 passing yards given up was, too, the fourth fewest in Week 1.
“I’m very confident, and I’m sure everyone else feels very confident,” Bengals safety Jessie Bates said. “Everyone knows we have a lot of potential.”
There are some positive takeaways on tape for Cincinnati defenders. In defeat, the Bengals shocked many people, which is rare. Most of the individuals who weren’t shocked reside in the Bengals locker room.
“While we did some really good things in the game, we didn’t win the game. And that’s the goal,” Bengals defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo said. “There’s no moral victories in the NFL. We have to play better.”
There aren’t moral victories in the NFL, but there are teachable moments and positive building blocks. The Bengals have that foundation heading into Week 2’s game against the San Francisco 49ers (1-0). More importantly, they have budding confidence, which is key for all athletes.
“The sky is the limit for us. We just have to keep on pushing,” Bengals pass rusher Carl Lawson said. “The sky is the limit.”
Backing it up on the field is going to be the true test. A home victory against the Niners will legitimize the positivity that came out of Seattle.

Waste-to-Energy Plant Shenzhen
Chinese Architecture Development design by Schmidt Hammer Lassen Architects and Gottlieb Paludan Architects

Design: Schmidt Hammer Lassen Architects and Gottlieb Paludan Architects
Location: Shenzhen, southeastern China
Schmidt Hammer Lassen Architects and Gottlieb Paludan Architects win international competition to design world’s largest Waste-to-Energy Plant in Shenzhen, China
The team of Schmidt Hammer Lassen Architects and Gottlieb Paludan Architects has won an international competition to design the largest waste-to-energy plant in the world. Located on the mountainous outskirts of Shenzhen the new Shenzhen East Waste-to-Energy Plant will incinerate 5,000 tonnes of waste per day – equalling one third of the waste generated by Shenzhen’s 20 million inhabitants every year. The plant will utilize the most advanced technology in waste incineration and power generation, whilst at the same time act as a source of education for the citizens of Shenzhen.
The winning design organizes the entire plant, including auxiliary buildings, into one circular building – breaking with the traditional rectangular layout of industrial facilities. By proposing a clear circular form, the footprint of the plant is minimised and it reduces the amount of excavation required to build on the site.
Public visitors are invited into the plant through a landscaped park, via an entrance bridge that rises between the stacks to an entrance lobby and visitor centre overlooking the plant machinery. An internal circular path and walkway circle the plant explaining each process, before leading up to a 1.5km panoramic public walkway on the roof overlooking the surrounding landscape and the city of Shenzhen.
The 66,000m2 roof is designed to be covered by up to 44,000m2 of photovoltaic panels providing the opportunity for the plant to not only provide a cleaner way to deal with the city’s waste but also contribute to the renewable energy provision for the city.
The plant is intended to showcase the Waste-to-Energy production as an important technical process that is geared to deal with the issues of growing waste, as well as the issue of finding more environmentally friendly ways of generating electricity. At the same time visitors become informed on the challenge of the growing amounts of waste we produce every day and are also educated on initiatives on how to reduce their own amount of daily waste.
Schmidt Hammer Lassen Architects are one of Scandinavia’s foremost architectural practices known for their award-winning work in cultural and public projects and have been active in Asia for almost a decade. The studio has built a reputation for bringing a strong Scandinavian design approach to large complex public projects in China.
Gottlieb Paludan Architects have received international acclaim for their ability to merge deep technical knowledge with strong architectural design – capabilities that were awarded with the 2015 Nykredit Prize, Scandinavia’s largest architectural award. An expert in designing for infrastructure and technical facilities, the Copenhagen-based studio has been active in Northern Europe and Scandinavia for more than a century.
Detailed design work is due to begin in early 2016, and the plant is scheduled to start operating in 2020.

Protests escalate at Reykjavik parliament square
Protesters carrying banners saying "Bjarni is not innocent," "We have had enough of you" and "Power no matter what?" Iceland Monitor / Golli
Iceland Monitor is at the protest taking place at Austurvöllur square in front of the Icelandic parliament, the second protest to call for a new government. Despite the PM stepping down, the crowd is not at all happy about today's turn in events.
The crowds are much smaller than yesterday, when an estimated 25 thousand people attended but they still cover 3/4 of the square, beating drums, making noise, pelting bananas.
"This is just one big scandal," says one protester, "I want a new government."
Another said, "I do not want this government, I want it dissolved, although there's a difference in the gravitiy of the matters concerning Sigmundur Davíð Gunnlaugsson and the other two ministers involved in the Panama Papers, I do not want financial minister Bjarni Benediktsson in this government. And I certainly don't want to see Sigurður Ingi as a new PM. He's someone who has supported and defended Gunnlaugsson's actions over and over again. These people are completely incapable."
Update at 6.30 pm: Protesters are marching away from the parliament square towards the headquarters of the Progressive Party in Hverfisgata, Reykjavik to continue the protest.

The war-weary nation's most generous allies
Two years into Russia's illegal invasion, Ukraine is in an increasingly precarious situation. MAGA Republicans in the US are holding up a much-needed aid package, while Europe is dragging its feet when it comes to delivering the support it's promised. Desperately short of ammo and air defences, the conflict-ravaged country is losing ground to Vladimir Putin's troops – and could be heading for defeat if America turns off the taps and Europe fails to step up.
Read on as we rank the countries that have donated the greatest share of their respective GDPs, which reflects the strength of their support for Ukraine more effectively than their financial totals, between 24 January 2022 and 15 January this year, using the Kiel Institute for the World Economy's Ukraine Support Tracker.

Benefits of Running with Your Dog
Running with your dog offers a myriad of benefits that extend beyond physical fitness. The experience can be incredibly enriching for both you and your furry companion. Here are some compelling reasons why hitting the pavement with your dog can be a game-changer for your overall well-being:
Physical Health: Running is an excellent form of cardiovascular exercise, and having your dog as a running partner can motivate you to stay consistent with your workouts. The physical benefits extend to your dog as well, as regular exercise helps maintain their weight, strengthens their muscles, and improves their overall fitness.
Mental Stimulation: Dogs thrive on mental stimulation, and the sights, sounds, and scents encountered during a run can provide valuable enrichment for your pet. The ever-changing outdoor environment can engage your dog's senses, keeping their mind active and curious.
Bonding and Socialization: Running together creates a unique opportunity for bonding. The shared experience of conquering a trail or completing a run can strengthen the emotional connection between you and your dog. Additionally, encountering other runners, walkers, and dogs during your outings can help improve your dog's socialization skills.
Stress Reduction: Exercise, including running, is known to reduce stress and anxiety in both humans and dogs. The endorphins released during physical activity can elevate mood and alleviate tension, contributing to a sense of well-being for both you and your dog.
Improved Behavior: Regular exercise can help curb behavioral issues in dogs, such as excessive barking, chewing, or digging. Running provides an outlet for your dog's energy, reducing the likelihood of destructive behaviors at home.
Enhanced Safety and Security: Running with your dog can provide an added layer of security, especially during early morning or evening runs. Your dog's presence can offer reassurance and protection, making you feel safer during outdoor workouts.
Accountability and Motivation: Dogs thrive on routine, and having a running schedule can instill a sense of consistency and structure in both your lives. Your dog's enthusiasm and eagerness to run can serve as a powerful motivator, encouraging you to lace up your shoes and head out, even on days when you might feel less inclined to exercise.
Incorporating your dog into your running routine can transform your workouts into enjoyable and meaningful experiences. The physical, mental, and emotional benefits of running with your dog underscore the profound impact that this activity can have on your lives.
Choosing the Right Gear
Selecting the appropriate gear is crucial when it comes to running with your dog. The right equipment not only ensures your comfort and safety but also contributes to your dog's well-being during the run. Here's a comprehensive guide to choosing the right gear for a seamless and enjoyable running experience with your furry companion.
Leash and Harness
Invest in a sturdy, well-fitted leash and harness for your dog. Opt for a hands-free leash that allows you to maintain a natural running posture while keeping your dog close. The leash should be reflective for visibility during low-light conditions, and the harness should be comfortable and secure, preventing any chafing or discomfort for your dog.
Collapsible Water Bowl
Staying hydrated is essential for both you and your dog during a run. A collapsible water bowl is a convenient accessory that allows you to offer water to your dog at regular intervals. Look for a lightweight, portable bowl that can be easily carried during your runs.

Running Belt or Pack
Consider using a running belt or pack to carry essentials such as waste bags, treats, and your phone. Look for a belt with multiple pockets to keep your hands free and ensure that you have everything you need for a successful run with your dog.
If you frequently run on rough terrain or in extreme weather conditions, dog booties can protect your dog's paws from hot pavement, sharp rocks, or icy surfaces. Choose booties that are durable, breathable, and provide a secure fit to safeguard your dog's paws during the run.
Prioritize safety by outfitting yourself and your dog with reflective gear. Reflective vests, collars, and ankle bands enhance visibility, especially during early morning or evening runs. This precaution is essential for alerting others to your presence and minimizing the risk of accidents.

Training Your Dog for Running
Introducing your dog to running requires a gradual and systematic approach to ensure their safety, comfort, and enjoyment. Just like humans, dogs need time to build endurance and acclimate to the physical demands of running. Here's a comprehensive guide to effectively train your dog for running:
Consult Your Veterinarian
Before embarking on a running regimen with your dog, it's essential to consult your veterinarian to assess your dog's overall health and fitness level. This step is particularly crucial for older dogs, puppies, or those with preexisting health conditions. Your veterinarian can provide valuable insights and recommendations tailored to your dog's specific needs.
Start with Basic Obedience Training
A well-behaved and responsive dog is essential for safe and enjoyable runs. Prior to hitting the trails, ensure that your dog is proficient in basic obedience commands such as "sit," "stay," "heel," and "come." These commands form the foundation for effective communication and control during your runs.
Begin the training process by incorporating short, low-impact runs into your dog's routine. Start with brief sessions, gradually increasing the duration and intensity over time. Pay close attention to your dog's behavior and physical cues to gauge their comfort level and avoid overexertion.
Consistency is key to building your dog's endurance for running. Incrementally extend the duration of your runs while monitoring your dog's response. Be mindful of signs of fatigue, such as excessive panting, lagging behind, or reluctance to continue. Adjust the pace and distance based on your dog's individual capabilities.
Introduce your dog to various running surfaces, including grass, trails, and pavement, to acclimate their paws and muscles. Transitioning gradually between different surfaces can help prevent injuries and discomfort for your dog.
Hydration and Rest
During runs, provide frequent water breaks for your dog to stay hydrated. Be mindful of weather conditions and avoid running in extreme heat, as dogs are susceptible to heat-related illnesses. Allow ample time for rest and recovery after each run to prevent exhaustion and muscle strain.
Watch for Behavioral Cues
Observe your dog's body language and behavior throughout the training process. Tailor your approach based on their responses, and be attentive to any signs of discomfort or reluctance. Positive reinforcement and encouragement are essential to foster a positive association with running.
By following these training guidelines, you can gradually prepare your dog for the physical demands of running, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for both of you. Patience, consistency, and attentive care are fundamental to nurturing your dog's running abilities and fostering a strong bond through this shared activity.
Dos of Running with Your Dog
Running with your dog can be an incredibly rewarding experience, providing numerous benefits for both you and your furry companion. To ensure a safe, enjoyable, and fulfilling running session with your dog, it's essential to adhere to the following dos:
1. Do Prioritize Safety
Safety should always be the top priority when running with your dog. Use a sturdy, well-fitted leash and harness to maintain control and prevent your dog from darting off unexpectedly. Additionally, outfit yourself and your dog with reflective gear to enhance visibility, especially during low-light conditions. Prioritizing safety measures significantly reduces the risk of accidents and ensures a secure running environment for both you and your dog.
2. Do Warm Up and Cool Down
Just like humans, dogs benefit from a proper warm-up and cool-down routine. Before starting your run, engage in a brief warm-up walk to gradually elevate your dog's heart rate and prepare their muscles for exercise. Similarly, conclude the run with a cooldown period to help your dog's body recover and prevent stiffness or soreness. These practices contribute to your dog's overall well-being and reduce the likelihood of post-run discomfort.
3. Do Observe Your Dog's Behavior
Pay close attention to your dog's behavior and physical cues during the run. Monitor their breathing, gait, and overall demeanor to assess their comfort level and well-being. Be responsive to any signs of fatigue or distress, and adjust the pace or distance as needed. By staying attuned to your dog's responses, you can ensure a positive and supportive running experience tailored to their individual capabilities.
4. Do Stay Hydrated
Hydration is crucial for both you and your dog during a run. Carry an ample supply of water and offer frequent hydration breaks to prevent dehydration. Be mindful of the weather conditions and your dog's hydration needs, especially during warmer days. Staying hydrated is essential for sustaining energy levels and promoting overall health and vitality for both you and your dog.
5. Do Incorporate Training and Mental Stimulation
Running with your dog presents an excellent opportunity to incorporate training exercises and mental stimulation. Use the run as a platform to reinforce obedience commands, encourage focus and attentiveness, and engage your dog's cognitive abilities. This not only enhances the training experience but also fosters a deeper connection and understanding between you and your dog.
6. Do Celebrate and Reward
Acknowledge and celebrate milestones achieved during your runs with your dog. Whether it's reaching a new distance, conquering a challenging trail, or displaying exceptional behavior, positive reinforcement and rewards can reinforce the bond between you and your dog. Celebratory moments and rewards create a positive association with running, making it an enjoyable and enriching experience for your dog.
By adhering to these dos of running with your dog, you can create a harmonious and fulfilling running routine that promotes physical fitness, mental stimulation, and a strong bond between you and your beloved canine companion.
Don'ts of Running with Your Dog
Running with your dog is a rewarding experience, but it's essential to be mindful of the don'ts to ensure the safety, well-being, and enjoyment of both you and your furry companion. By avoiding these common pitfalls, you can create a positive and enriching running routine for you and your dog.
Don't Overexert Your Dog: Avoid pushing your dog beyond their physical limits. Overexertion can lead to fatigue, muscle strain, and potential injuries. Pay attention to your dog's cues and adjust the pace and distance to align with their fitness level. Gradual conditioning is key to building endurance without overwhelming your dog's capabilities.
Don't Run in Extreme Weather: Running in excessively hot or cold weather can pose risks to your dog's health. High temperatures can lead to heat exhaustion and paw pad burns, while icy conditions can cause discomfort and potential injuries. Be mindful of the weather forecast and choose suitable times and locations for your runs to ensure your dog's comfort and safety.
Don't Neglect Hydration: Dehydration can have serious consequences for your dog's well-being. Avoid neglecting hydration breaks during your runs. Carry an adequate supply of water and offer regular opportunities for your dog to drink. Be attentive to signs of dehydration, such as excessive panting or lethargy, and take prompt measures to rehydrate your dog.
Don't Force Your Dog to Run: Not all dogs are natural runners, and some may not enjoy or thrive in a running environment. Avoid forcing your dog to run if they show signs of reluctance or discomfort. Respect your dog's preferences and consider alternative forms of exercise that align with their interests and physical capabilities.
Don't Ignore Behavioral Cues: Your dog's behavior during a run can convey valuable information about their well-being and comfort. Don't ignore signs of distress, anxiety, or fatigue. If your dog exhibits reluctance to continue, excessive panting, or unusual behavior, it's essential to stop and assess their condition. Ignoring behavioral cues can compromise your dog's safety and overall running experience.
Don't Skip Warm-Up and Cool-Down: Neglecting a proper warm-up and cool-down routine can increase the risk of muscle strain and discomfort for your dog. Prioritize a gradual warm-up before the run to prepare your dog's muscles and conclude with a cooldown period to aid in recovery. Skipping these essential steps can lead to post-run stiffness and potential injuries.
By being mindful of these don'ts, you can cultivate a safe, enjoyable, and fulfilling running experience for both you and your dog. Prioritizing your dog's well-being, comfort, and individual preferences is fundamental to nurturing a positive and enduring running routine that strengthens the bond between you and your beloved pet.
Ensuring the safety of both you and your dog is paramount when embarking on running adventures together. By implementing essential safety measures, you can mitigate potential risks and create a secure environment for enjoyable and worry-free runs with your furry companion.
1. Weather Awareness
Stay vigilant about weather conditions before heading out for a run. Extreme heat can pose significant risks to your dog's well-being, leading to heat exhaustion and dehydration. Conversely, cold temperatures can cause discomfort and potential paw injuries. Choose optimal times for running, such as early mornings or evenings, to avoid peak heat and ensure your dog's comfort.
2. Leash and Harness
Maintain control and prevent unexpected incidents by using a sturdy leash and harness. Opt for a hands-free leash that allows you to maintain a natural running posture while keeping your dog close. The harness should be well-fitted to prevent chafing and discomfort, ensuring a secure and comfortable running experience for your dog.
3. Reflective Gear
Enhance visibility during low-light conditions by outfitting yourself and your dog with reflective gear. Reflective vests, collars, and ankle bands significantly improve visibility, reducing the risk of accidents and ensuring that you and your dog are easily noticeable to others, such as cyclists and motorists.

Prioritize hydration for both you and your dog. Carry an adequate supply of water and offer frequent breaks for your dog to drink. Be attentive to signs of dehydration, such as excessive panting or lethargy, and take prompt measures to rehydrate your dog. Staying hydrated is crucial for sustaining energy levels and promoting overall well-being during runs.
5. Paw Protection
Protect your dog's paws from potential injuries by being mindful of running surfaces. Hot pavement, sharp rocks, and icy terrain can pose risks to your dog's paw pads. Consider using dog booties for added protection, especially in challenging or extreme conditions. Additionally, inspect your dog's paws after runs for any signs of discomfort or injury.
6. Regular Health Check-ups
Prioritize your dog's overall health by scheduling regular check-ups with a veterinarian. Assess your dog's fitness level and discuss any specific considerations for running, especially for older dogs or those with preexisting health conditions. Your veterinarian can provide valuable guidance tailored to your dog's individual needs.
By incorporating these safety tips into your running routine, you can create a secure and enjoyable environment for both you and your dog. Prioritizing safety measures not only minimizes potential risks but also fosters a sense of confidence and peace of mind, allowing you to fully embrace the joys of running with your beloved canine companion.
In conclusion, running with your dog is a remarkable journey that encompasses physical fitness, emotional bonding, and shared experiences. The benefits of incorporating your dog into your running routine extend far beyond the realm of exercise, enriching both your lives in profound ways. The symbiotic relationship between you and your furry companion is amplified as you traverse trails, conquer distances, and revel in the joy of movement together.
By embracing the dos and don'ts of running with your dog, you can cultivate a harmonious and fulfilling running routine that prioritizes safety, well-being, and mutual enjoyment. The dos, including prioritizing safety, observing your dog's behavior, and incorporating training and mental stimulation, serve as guiding principles for creating a positive and supportive running environment. Conversely, being mindful of the don'ts, such as avoiding overexertion, running in extreme weather, and neglecting hydration, safeguards your dog's health and comfort, ensuring a sustainable and enjoyable running experience.
The safety tips provided offer essential guidelines for mitigating potential risks and creating a secure environment for worry-free runs with your furry companion. From weather awareness to paw protection, these measures underscore the importance of prioritizing your dog's well-being and safety during running sessions.
As you lace up your running shoes and fasten your dog's leash, the shared moments, the rhythmic cadence of paws and footsteps, and the unspoken connection between you and your dog form the essence of this unique partnership. Running with your dog transcends mere physical activity; it is a testament to the unwavering bond and companionship that define the human-canine relationship.
In the end, the trails you tread, the miles you conquer, and the memories you create become woven into the fabric of your shared experiences. Running with your dog is not just about the destination; it's about the journey—the laughter, the challenges, and the unspoken understanding that binds you and your dog together as running partners, friends, and companions in the truest sense.

The U.S. Postal Service has pulled the downtown Fort Woth Post Office off the market, a spokeswoman for the agency confirmed Tuesday.
That came shortly after board members of Fort Worth’s Lancaster tax increment finance district on Tuesday authorized $7 million for the city to make an offer for the historic main Post Office at 251 W. Lancaster Ave. downtown.
Polly Gibbs, a spokeswoman for the Postal Service, confirmed the agency had sent a letter to Mayor Betsy Price notifying the city that the 251 W. Lancaster Ave. property was off the market. The city has been in talks with the Postal Service about the property, which the agency had put on the market earlier this year.
“We’re retaining the property, the retail will stay,” Gibbs said. Gibbs said she didn’t have information about the agency’s rationale.
The Postal Service may also add other operations to the downtown facility, Price said.
“We were glad to hear about USPS’s decision to forego its plan to sell the Lancaster Poist Office on the open market,” Price said in a statement.
“The city has already invested a great deal in improving the Lancaster corridor in anticipation of new development. Having the Lancaster Post Office sold to the highest bidder was a potential threat to our vision for Lancaster. We understand that the post office retail services in the building will remain, and other USPS operations may also be added. We’re relieved that this historical building will stay in the good hands of the USPS for the foreseeable future.”
City Councilman Jungus Jordan, chairman of the Lancaster TIF, said the Postal Service’s decision “is great news for us.
“Our purpose is to secure the future use,” he said. “We will not have a derelict building, we will not have to use taxpayer dollars to secure a future use, we will not have to worry about a future use.”
The city views the Post Office has a critical piece of the Lancaster corridor, and its decision to move on the property was advanced by its angst over the continued dormancy of private plans for the large T&P warehouse next door.
Jordan said Postal Service authorities in Washington apparently made the decision Monday. The service sent the letter to the city whle the Lancaster TIF board was meeting.
Council members will discuss in executive session this afternoon at their weekly pre-council meeting whether to proceed with an offer anyway, Jordan said.
“I personally would recommend that we put it out there,” he said.
Tom Samra, vice president of facilities for the Postal Service, said in a two-paragraph letter to Price that “after further review, based on our supplemental anaysis of the buisness and other factors, the Postal Service has changed its strategy for the downtown station and will now retain the facility for Postal Service operations, including customer retail services.”
Arlene Sanchez, a spokeswoman for the Postal Service in Fort Worth, said, “the Postal Service, when making decisions regarding its facility network, continually analyzes a number of factors…In the case of the Fort Worth downtown station, we made the best business decision for the Postal Service, opting to retain the building.”
Jordan said after the TIF board vote he expected City Manager Tom Higgins could send an offer to the U.S. Postal Service as soon as this week offering to buy the building for $7 million.
The letter also is to offer incentives to the Postal Service to move its retail operations on West Lancaster across the street to the Pinnacle Bank Place building, under development by the city’s Local Development Corp.
The Local Development Corp. would offer the incentives, which could include finish-out allowances and rent concessions, Jay Chapa, executive director of the city’s Housing and Economic Development department, said in an interview after the board vote.
The Postal Service, in announcing earlier this year that it planned to move out of the Lancaster Avenue building and put it up for sale, had said it needs about 4,000 square feet of space nearby.
If the offer proceeds, other taxing entities in the TIF – Tarrant County and the hospital district, Tarrant County College, and the Tarrant Regional Water District – also must vote on the agreement with the city.
The City Council also will have to vote on it, but the offer would go out with the proviso that it’s pending council approval.
The TIF and city action is meant to try and get the Postal Service to sell the building outright, without submitting it to a potentially lengthy bid process, Chapa said after the board vote.
The market is “prime” today, but conditions could change if the Postal Service draws out its auction process, Chapa said.
The $7 million is the TIF board and city’s best estimate on what it should take to get the property, and is not meant to be levered, Jordan and Chapa said.
“We feel this is a fair price,” Jordan said in the interview after the board vote.
The city has noodled for years on the possibility of trying to buy the building and turn it into a grand new city hall, but Chapa said there’s demand today from hotel and residential developers who want to take advantage of the nearby T&P rail station. The rail line runs on the south side of the Post Office buiilding.
If the building eventually becomes a city facility, the city would have to reimburse the TIF for its portion of the $7 million, the TIF board said its motion, approved unanimously.
The city’s share is about 48 percent, Chapa said.
The $7 million would come out of the TIF’s estimated $17.2 million fund balance this year, Chapa told the TIF board.
Tax increment finance districts, authorized by Texas law, generate cash that local governments can use for structural improvements and infrastructure. The available tax increment for a specific TIF is based on the difference between appraised values in the year the TIF is established and subsequent years the TIF is in existence.
The 220-acre Lancaster TIF was created in 2003 and it lasts through 2024.
The TIF zone is generally bounded on the north by Seventh and Third streets, the south by Interstate 30, east by Calhoun Street, and west by Henderson Street.
Its projects have included the T&P Terminal, T&P Warehouse, public art, median improvements, Omni Hotel sidewalk widening, Lancaster redevelopment, Oncor building redevelopment, and Hampton Inn and Suites.

The client was Network Rail. The existing station had timber cladding that had to be replaced with GRP Class 0 fire resistant cladding. This replacement
cladding was part of the project to update train stations across London. In total there were 400m2 of cladding required.
The replacement system had to closely match the existing, being a wood cladding effect. The time frame for the completion of the project was very short
and quality standard was very important.
Relinea were appointed to prepare a mould that would match the timber wood slat cladding, which existed on the outside of the station and smooth high gloss
finish cladding on the inside. All panels were supplied to the client’s requirements, and sent prefabricated for ease of installation. All panels possessed
Class 0 Fire Resistant rating.
Although restricted on time, we were able to manufacture and complete installation within the allocated time frame. Furthermore, the client was satisfied
with the overall quality of our GRP cladding product, and Relinea’s workmanship.

How to visualize and how to improve your visualization?
Some time ago, a visitor to my website asked me, “How do I improve my visualization?”
She continued and said, “When I try to visualize, I only see blurred images in my mind, and I cannot hold them steady. When, for example, I try to visualize a certain object, I do not see it clearly, and the image often fades away after a few seconds.”
“I have read that there are people who can imagine clearly in their mind, and I wonder how they do that. I want to improve my visualization ability, because I want to be successful with creative visualization.”
Read my answer below.
How to Improve Your Visualization Skill
Some people can visualize clearly and others see only blurred images or no images at all. However, with some training, you can improve your visualization skill.
The ability to visualize is essential for creative visualization and the law of attraction. As you improve your visualization skill, you can get better and faster results with creative visualization
The ability to visualize is most useful in many areas of life, not just for creative visualization. It is most useful for making plans, for writing, acting, painting and for doing everything better and more efficiently. It is also useful in business and for achieving goals.
What Is Visualization?
It is the ability to create mental images in your mind, as well as sounds, smells, tastes and other sensations.
It means using your imagination to create a vision of your goal and of what you want in your life.
It is a most creative and useful tool in every area of life. It can help you with self-improvement, maintaining good health, in sports, and in your career.
Training your visualization skills is the sure way to improve it. The more you try to visualize the better this ability gets, and if the image gets blurred, just look at the actual object you are trying to visualize, and then continue seeing it in your imagination.
How to Visualize
Do you wish to know how to visualize mental images?
Below, you will find a simple exercise for improving your visualization skill.
- Find a few minutes to be alone every day.
- Sit down comfortably on a chair.
- Hold a small and simple object in your hands, like a pencil, a match, or a key. If you wish, you may use for the exercise or a small fruit, like an apple or an orange.
- Examine the object for about one minute and look at every detail, so you can remember it.
- Close your eyes and try to visualize the object for about one minute. If the image becomes blurred, or if it disappears from your mind, open your eyes for a few seconds and look at it. Then, close your eyes and continue visualizing it.
- After visualizing for about one minute, rest for a few seconds, and then repeat visualizing the object again. Continue doing so 4-5 times.
- You may visualize the same object or a different one at each visualization session.
- If you have the time, repeat this visualization exercise twice a day.

Film Review: Haute CuisineDelicious in every way: a must for foodies, but also for anyone who wants to see beautiful work done on the screen, presented in the most prideful way.
In the small but select category of food-centric films—Babette’s Feast, Big Night, Eat Drink Man Woman—you can now add Haute Cuisine, to which this viewer is fully prepared to give pride of place. Writer-director Christian Vincent’s film is a marvelously diverting concoction, concerning itself with what happened when a woman, Hortense Laborie (Catherine Frot)—airily based on the real-life character of Daniele Delpeuch—became personal chef to French President François Mitterand and found herself in the fraught, traditionally all-male enclave of the kitchens in Paris’ lofty Elysée Palace.
A fiercely smart, no-nonsense type with a deep love for her métier—the kind of cozy home cooking Mitterand loved when prepared in his childhood by his grandmother—Hortense finds herself having to deal with the undisguised contempt of her poisonously jealous, testosterone-heavy fellow cooks (who dub her “Madame DuBarry”), as well as the economic and dietary strictures placed upon her by officious authorities concerned with the palace budget, as well as the President’s health. A real artist in her field, she refuses to compromise both her cooking and the kinds of rare and pure ingredients which make up the best France has to offer from its farms and fields.
Those above-mentioned conflicts make up the gist of the drama here, and if it all sounds a little inconsequential, think again. However slight in plot and actual details about Hortense’s personal life the film may be, for me it’s far preferable to countless exposition-laden rom-coms and dramas which rarely if ever even focus on the actual jobs of their protagonists. How many writers in movies do we never see really doing any writing, or, for that matter, architects, lawyers and miscellaneous entrepreneurs doing their respective thing? Indeed, it’s quite bizarre that, after more than a century since the medium was invented, filmmakers seem to still need to be reminded that people doing actual work can not only be intellectually stimulating, but damned photogenic as well.
Vincent, who must be a profound gourmand at least, needs no such reminding, and his movie is a mouth-watering orgy of preparation and presentation of dishes that ravish the eyes and stoke the appetite. I confess to not being particularly handy in the kitchen or addicted to TV cooking shows, but I would have gladly watched Hortense whipping up her kitchen magic for a small eternity, so incisively edited and gorgeously photographed are these sequences. The intense pride and tenacity which fuel Hortense easily come off as ten times more thrilling than all the fiery explosions and car chases that are fast becoming cinema’s sole expression of excitement. Laurent Dailland’s cinematography is a ravishment—turning Hortense’s private kitchen into a gleaming, stainless-steel temple—and Gabriel Yared has contributed a particularly lovely, apt music score.
Frot is simply marvelous, the kind of immediate, take-control, “I dare you to take your eyes off me” actress that Bette Davis and her Gallic counterpart, Jeanne Moreau, were in their heyday. Imperturbably chic with her entwined pearl necklace as she bustles about her ovens, her fecund energy and super-quick wit are delectable. She has impeccable timing, as does Vincent, who directs with a fine, crisp, no-nonsense manner that spotlights such felicities as Hortense’s teasing relationship with her cute, young patissier (Arthur Dupont), as well as the molten force with which she faces down her amusingly contemptuous, chief naysayer of a rotund head chef (Brice Fournier).
Mitterand is played by a non-actor, the eminent French intellectual Jean d’Ormesson, who has an aristocratic refinement and real dignity, if somewhat lacking in real histrionic props. He and Frot have but a handful of quiet scenes together, and while moving, they definitely would have played stronger with a stronger actor. This is somewhat made up for by Vincent’s decision to intercut a storyline about Hortense working in Antarctica after her Mitterand stint, cooking for a crew of decidedly more earthy, blue-collar types, but with no less precision and devotion. The cross-cutting between the two plots might have been annoying, but Vincent does it with skill, and although you barely see any more of enigmatic Hortense’s real inner nature, the greater relaxation and authority she is able to display in the Arctic sequences enrich this enchanting film about her.

Healthy growth in global dividends
Despite fears over dwindling worldwide growth, global companies paid out more in dividends last year than any year on record
Despite fears over dwindling worldwide growth, global companies paid out morein dividends last year thanany year on record, saysKate Beioley in the Financial Times: $1.37trn, a rise of 9.3% from last year, according to Janus Henderson's latest dividend index.
Canada enjoyed the fastest dividend growth among large developed economies with 11.8%, driven by oil companies and banks. Japan saw the second-fastest growth with 10.6%. US payouts climbed by 7.8%. In Britain, underlying dividend growth (discounting special payouts) was slightly ahead of the global average with 8.8%.
Mining companies, banks, and British American Tobacco made the largest contribution to growth. Despite the recent global slowdown, payouts should keep climbing in 2019, reckons Janus Henderson.
"Dividends tend to be more stable than profits because company managements store up cash for more difficult times and are reluctant to cut [them]," says Patrick Hosking in The Times. What's more, reinvested dividends account for the vast majority of long-term returns.
According to the Barclays Equity Gilt study, £100 invested in the UK stockmarket in 1899 would have been worth £34,758 after inflation by the end of 2017 if the dividends had been reinvested every year. Had they not been reinvested, the initial stake would now be worth just £203 in real terms.

Whenever you hear the word business, you are usually asked to think about the transaction of goods and services. It is a term referred to any occupation in which people engage on a regular basis to earn a profit. There are many types of businesses, including sole proprietorships, partnerships, and corporations. However, they all have one thing in common: they all aim to earn profits.
In order to understand the definition of business, it is important to understand its fundamentals. Business involves regular exchange of goods and services and is aimed at satisfying human needs. Goods and services are generally meant for direct or indirect consumption. Moreover, businesses are often involved in charitable activities and missionary work, as well as social causes.
There are many activities that fall under the category of business, including manufacturing, banking, insurance, transportation, and manufacturing of consumer goods. Some of the other activities include the production of goods for profit and the sale of goods. The business concept is a fundamental idea that guides the strategy of any organization.
In order to carry out business activities, an entrepreneur must be convinced about the feasibility of the project and make the necessary investments. These investments are always subject to risk and uncertainty. This is because of changes in government policies and consumer demands. In addition, the business can suffer losses from natural calamities and other unfavorable circumstances.
The key objective of any business enterprise is to grow. In order to achieve this, the business must have specific objectives in various functional areas, including sales, marketing, and finance. This is crucial to the long-term success of the enterprise. Profit is also a key objective, because it acts as a source of capital to help expand the business.
Among the benefits of business is its ability to attract a talented work force. Moreover, profit-making companies are generally easier to get credit and raise loans. They also enjoy better market reputation. Profit-making companies are also more likely to retain talented employees. Profits are also considered a reward for the risk-taking that is required for launching and running a business. In the past, the main objective of business was profit maximisation. In modern times, however, businesses have changed from businesses that aim to earn profits to businesses that aim to serve customers.
Businesses can be for-profit entities or not-for-profit organizations. Some businesses operate as small operations within a single industry, while others may span across many industries. Businesses can also be a Hindu Undivided Family or a joint stock company.
The definition of business varies from one organization to another. Some companies define business by industry, while others define business by the business concept itself. For instance, Apple is a successful business. Similarly, Walmart has a successful business. However, a business cannot survive without customers. Therefore, it is important for businesses to win the hearts of customers. A business also has to offer good quality goods and services at affordable prices.

We could be wrong, but today's Apple Q1 2012 earnings call may have been the first time that the company has revealed any tangible sales figures for the Apple TV. According to CEO Tim Cook, Apple sold a record-breaking 1.4 million Apple TV units last quarter, which is exactly half of the 2.8 million units that it sold in the entire prior fiscal year. As expected, Cook wouldn't comment on the rumors of the imminent release of a bona fide Apple TV set. We're sure it's in the pipeline, but don't expect Apple to say anything on the record until it's ready to be shown off to the world.
During its Q1 2012 earnings call where Apple announced a record-breaking holiday quarter, CEO Tim Cook also announced that there are now 85 million iCloud accounts. What's impressive there is that iCloud is just three months old, coming in as a replacement for the aging MobileMe, so that's a tremendously positive number as it pertains to user adoption. In fact, that 85 million number is 50 million more than iPhone 4S units sold.
This afternoon, Apple announced that it has posted a record-breaking holiday quarter for fiscal Q1 2012, led by massive sales of iPhone, iPad, and Mac computers. In a nutshell, the company made a ton of cash, selling over 37 million iPhones, 15,430,000 iPads, 5,200,000 Macs, and 15,400,000 iPods. Full release after the jump.
Apple has missed its own deadline to launch iTunes Match, a service that lets users store their entire music library in the cloud, or the iCloud, for access through any iOS device or computer.
Apple CEO Tim Cook announced the iPhone 4S (see our iPhone 4S review) in early October, and iOS 5 and iCloud went live several days later. The final piece of that puzzle, iTunes Match, was expected to launch at the end of October for $24.99 per year, but here we are on November 2 with no iTunes Match in sight.
With iTunes Match, users can store their entire music library in the cloud, or iCloud, for on-the-go access to your music from any iOS device or computer.
A portion of iTunes in the Cloud went live in June during Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC), while a developer version of iTunes Match was released in late August; Apple even reportedly wiped out developers' Match libraries, fueling speculation that a launch was imminent.
Here's the full text of the note:
I have some very sad news to share with all of you. Steve passed away earlier today.
Apple has lost a visionary and creative genius, and the world has lost an amazing human being. Those of us who have been fortunate enough to know and work with Steve have lost a dear friend and an inspiring mentor. Steve leaves behind a company that only he could have built, and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple.
In case you didn't hear, Apple announced the iPhone 4S this morning at its Let's Talk iPhone event. If you missed the chatter, don't fret--Apple's posted a video of the entire event for you to watch and enjoy at your leisure. Click on through to see Tim Cook and crew do their best to get you excited about the next Apple smartphone.
If you were wondering if Apple was making the right decision in launching Mac OS X 10.7, better known as Lion, as a digital download on the Mac App Store, it looks like that question has been answered. At this morning's Apple event, Tim Cook announced that Lion has been downloaded 6 million times. According to Tim, it took Windows 7 twenty weeks to reach what it took Lion 2 weeks to achieve in terms of install base.
So, there's your answer. If you're one of the few who has yet to install Lion, get it now!
The iPhone 5 will be revealed in under an hour. In all likelihood, it won't be called that—that's just the general name people are calling the device, since it will technically be the fifth iPhone model from Apple. As with any iPhone launch, there have been the obligatory predictions, analysis, and mountains of rumors, but this launch is different from previous ones in a big and obvious way: Apple is unveiling the next iPhone in the fall instead of summer. Why?
It used to be there was a kind of unwritten agreement between Apple and its customers. Apple didn't say word one about any of its products until they were on the verge of general release. On the other side, customers and observers—the whole world, really—could rely on an extremely regular product release schedule: iPods in the fall, iPads in the winter/spring, and iPhones in the summer. It was so predictable you could plan vacations around it.
According to tipsters speaking to AllThingsD's John Paczkowski, Apple's allegedly planning on making its big iPhone 5 announcement at an event on October 4. But contrary to previous announcement events, you won't be seeing Apple executives strutting around the stage at San Francisco's Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. According to Paczkowski's sources, Apple's moved the big iPhone announcement to its main campus.
There's no indication as to why the event moved. The reasoning could be as innocuous as the fact that the Yerba Center might already have been booked with another event on October 4. Or, for that matter, Apple might not have exactly known when it was going to be able to produce its iPhone announcement and, thus, hosting the event on its own campus affords the company additional flexibility (and additional time to pick the date).

Pillow fairytales. By Anuoluwapo Kehinde
The ways you could love me,
The ways you would cherish and hold,
Till death do us part-
I journey to a world where we were together
A little cottage on a hill
With children bustling at our feet.
We are happy.
Living a story we created,
While we were young-
A fairytale so sweet it makes my gums hurt,
My eyes bleed from reality-
Stung by the truth of it all.
Dreams are fiction and so far from the real,
My mind journeys back to this world.
And I fall asleep to the rhythm of my broken heart,
Like always, watering my pillow
For more dreams to grow,
About the ways you could love me.
Even if you don’t.

Mobile pizza ordering
Are you ready for a slice?
Naked Pizza’s mobile app is a handy tool for peckish brothers and sisters in Dubai. It was born in the trendy "flatland" but it's not just a pretty face. Thanks to the well- thought-out user-experience design in collaboration with the LiMiTeD team we created a truly easy-to-use app for pizza lovers. Just a few taps and the delivery guy knocks on your door.
Client: Lmtd /Dubai
Role: UI/UX, Visual Design, Art Direction
Type of work: Mobile Application/IOS
Wireframing is an important part of any design process. It helps to create conceptual structure, architecture, visual arrangements and reveals potential issues. Wireframes are the fundamental of prototyping and prototype is the sandbox for visual experimentation.
The interesting part of the design process is to find the perfect style for the app. The corporate brand guidelines help to keep these experiments on the right track but it's fun to explore something new by mixing different styles.
Thanks for watching!
Let's chat if this project is similar to the one
you’d like me to work on.

|Vice President-Elect William Ruto appreciate church congregation for trusting their leadership|
By Allan Kisia
Nairobi, Kenya: Deputy President-elect William Ruto broke down several times during a thanksgiving church service in Nairobi as faithful sang and danced.
Mr Ruto, who was accompanied by close family members, Information minister Samuel Poghisio and former Turkana Central legislator Ekwe Ethuro, was overcome with emotions at Faith Evangelical Ministries in Karen.
“I have not cried like this for many years. The only time I remember crying like this was when I was a little boy and my mother is here to attest to that. My wife knew me as a strong man because she had never seen me emotional like this,” he stated.
He said God, in a special way, had given the Jubilee coalition victory in the March 4 General Election.
“The same God who gave us victory against all odds will do more exceedingly and abundantly for us. It will be more than the people of Kenya want. God is going to do great things for this country,” said Ruto.
At one point, Ruto was given the microphone to address the congregation but he broke down and was unable to make any statement.
Efforts by his wife Rachael, who was beside him at the dais, to calm him down proved futile as she too got carried away and also wept alongside her husband, as they were both overcome by emotions.
Rev Teresa Wairimu Kinyanjui took the microphone from Ruto and allowed him and the wife to move to the side to regain composure.
Ruto shed tears at his seat, as Wairimu preached and when he was invited to join dancers at the podium and during all prayers.
Grace of God
When he finally composed himself, the Deputy President-elect said he was overwhelmed by the favour and grace of God.
Mr Ruto announced that they are organising an interdenominational thanksgiving service that will be held next weekend.
Wairimu narrated how the President-elect Uhuru Kenyatta called her and asked her to organise the service at Nairobi’s Uhuru Park. She noted that Ruto gave Uhuru her number without informing her in advance.
“I picked the phone and asked who is this calling me. The reply was Uhuru and I said Mr President,” she said. Outside the church was a convoy of vehicles and security officers befitting Ruto’s new status.
When Ruto left the church, bodyguards guided him to a waiting vehicle with an escort police Mercedes Benz at the front.
Three chase cars and two Land Cruisers with GSU officers on board followed.
Throughout the church service, Ruto’s motorcade was heavily guarded by officers. The vehicles were wiped repeatedly to get rid of any dust. Ruto got a new status after the Jubilee coalition was declared winner in last week’s elections.
He was Uhuru’s running mate.
Uhuru won the General Election with over six million votes.
He was followed by Raila Odinga with 5.3 million votes.
The final results meant Uhuru surpassed the 50 per cent-plus 1 vote requirement laid out in the Constitution.
The election saw a record turnout of 84.9 per cent of registered voters.
Kenyans waited for nearly a week for the electoral body to announce the results.
Raila said it is only the Supreme Court that will determine if Uhuru’s election as fourth President of Kenya is legit.
Raila disputed and rejected the declaration of Uhuru as the winner of the elections, citing what he termed as massive irregularities that marred the polling exercise and subsequent tallying.


We had mentioned a couple of weeks ago that Young Money rapstress, Nicki Minaj, spent her 4th of July filming the music video to her latest single “Pound The Alarm” in Trinidad. Well she hit the stage and performed the single on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” this past weekend sporting a very…um, interesting costume. Now, we all know she’s known for her above and beyond looks, so this didn’t really come as a surprise. However, although her wig game has chilled for a bit, I did have to do a couple of double takes and hit the pause button as I thought to myself, “wait… are those…those can’t be…oh Lord, those are nipple pasties!”
Her performance matched the tempo of the song, very upbeat and hype. There’s no doubt that she got the crowd dancing along so props to her! But from a fashion perspective — SMH… tropical peacock feathers?! On the bum?! and a sparkly one piece? I feared the camel toe monster was going to attack us all.*tears*
We’re not sure as to whether or not Nicki’s breast petals came with the costume, or if there was some sort of wardrobe malfunction backstage in which she had no choice but to stick those babies on. Either way, we are very thankful that Nicki’s fun bags did not come out to play with Jay Leno…however, in all honesty, that would have made a better story.
Check out the clip below if you missed it:
What do you guys think of Nicki’s singing/dancing skills? Do you see an improvement? Did you like the customized powder gun at the end? Are those nipple pasties a bust? Let us know and read for more details on her interview here on Vibe.

It is heart-wrenching news that 7 persons including 5 girls have drowned in a river near Cuddalore.Navanitha, daughter of Mohan of Kuchipalayam in Panuruti taluk, and their relative Haripriya wife of Kunal went to the Gedilam river on Sunday along with Priyadharshini and Dhivyadarshini daughters of their relative Rajaguru of Kurinjipadi who had visited their home.
Two years back a check dam was constructed across the river in the area. As sand was removed for this in the middle of the river, the part was deep and heavily silted.

Hearing their cries for help, three girls Sumadha, Monisha, and Sangavi who were also standing in the area got into the water and tried to help the others who were caught in the deep. They were also reportedly trapped.
On hearing the news the villagers got into the river and tried to rescue the girls. One after the other they lifted the seven girls and admitted them in the Government hospital but all the seven had died the doctors declared.A pal of gloom descended on the villagers following the tragedy. Haripriya was married only a month back. M.R.K Paneerselvam, Minister for Agriculture and Farmers' Welfare visited the hospital and expressed grief and condolences to the family members of the deceased.
Failure to fill the pits dug during the check dam construction is said to be the cause of the tragedy. The Government should ensure that such incidents should not happen in the future, Dr. Anbumani Ramdoss, PMK President has said.
