Another summer, another death at one of Georgia’s most popular watering holes: Lake Lanier.
Over the last week of July, a 24-year-old man has died in Lake Lanier, according to authorities.
Thomas Shepard Milner leaped off a dock and into the water and was shocked to death by electricity on Thursday, July 27, 2023, according to a press release from the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office. The sheriff’s office is still investigating events around the presumed electrocution as they await the official cause of death from the coroner.
A family friend tried to pull Milner out of the water, but was unsuccessful, according to the sheriff’s office. Finally, a neighbor was able to pull Milner out of the lake, according to the Georgia Department of Natural Resources.
The neighbor who helped pull the victim out of the water “reported feeling a burning sensation which they immediately recognized as an electric shock,” according to Atlanta News First.
The victim’s mother told the TV station that the dock had been built less than three years ago and was outfitted with electricity.
Milner would later be pronounced dead at Northside Forsyth Hospital.
Another person, 61-year-old Tracey Stewart, also died on Lake Lanier over the weekend after drowning.
Lake Lanier has been linked with some mysterious deaths since its inception in the 1950s. One common misconception was that the lake was built on top of a black town. In fact, Georgia’s Lake Lanier was not built on top of Oscarville, but rather, the construction of Buford Dam, which created the lake, flooded the area where the historic town of Oscarville was located.

You already know that your hair needs nutrients, moisturizers and more. But did you know that it can come from a farm?
Atlanta-based haircare company Ecoslay has partnered with local urban farm, Truly Living Well Center For Natural Urban Agriculture to harvest ingredients for their popular plant-based hair care products.
Through this partnership, Ecoslay and Truly Living Well have planted okra, chamomile, marshmallow, and amaranth. On top of that, the two will soon plant flax, slippery elm, ginger and horsetail. Already harvested ingredients like okra and amaranth can already be found in best-selling products like the Banana Cream, Jello Shot and the Sangria hair refresher.
“At Ecoslay, we believe in the power of community. With this partnership, we can ensure our hair products include fresh ingredients that are good for you, while also protecting the environment,” said Adria Marshall, founder & CEO of Ecoslay. “We all win if we work together. Truly Living Well is doing wonderful things for our city by providing fresh produce for people and agricultural education for our youth.”
Ecoslay was created in Adria’s kitchen back in 2015 when she couldn’t find the right products for her natural curly hair.
Adria spent countless hours mixing up concoctions to create what is known today as some of her best-selling products. Ecoslay believes in using only high-quality, natural, plant-based ingredients and sustainable packaging such as recyclable pouches and glass jars.
Through this partnership, Ecoslay will be able to actively support the Truly Living Well farm which is located near Morehouse College.
“Truly Living Well and Ecoslay share a similar vision of caring for our community, and protecting our planet,” Marshall said. “Together we look forward to planting a more sustainable and green future for our local community, and our customers.”

When you watch the Atlanta Braves game, these days, you’re watching a team that owns itself, so to speak. The winning Major League Baseball franchise has split off from Liberty Media, its owners for the past several years.
The team is now officially owned by Atlanta Braves Holdings, which will also own the ballclub’s associated real estate development project. The sale was completed on July 18, 2023.
You can also now buy stock in the Braves. The company’s stock began trading on Wednesday, July 19, 2023 on the Nasdaq Stock Market, under the symbols “BATRA” and “BATRK”, respectively. Atlanta Braves Holdings Series B common stock will be quoted on the OTC Markets under the symbol “BATRB.
Introducing Atlanta Braves Holdings Inc.
Both parties call the deal The Split-Off and it will allow Liberty Media to refocus its energies on live exhibitions that go well beyond sports. Meanwhile, the Braves will simply have the winningest team in baseball.
Both the Split-Off and Reclassification are subject to, among other things, the approval of Liberty Media’s stockholders at a meeting on on July 17, 2023 and the receipt of certain other approvals and tax opinions.
When Did Liberty Media Buy The Braves?
Liberty Media bought the Braves in 2007 for $1.5 billion. At that time, Time Warner owned the MLB franchise but sought to divest of sports properties. Since that purchase, the value of the Braves has nearly doubled and they are now one of the most pricey franchises in Major League Baseball.Explore Atlanta At Your Own Pace

How To Use LinkedIn To Find Jobs
LinkedIn is a great resource to find a job online. There are obviously other job sites out there, but only LInkedIn has a built-in social network where your future boss and colleagues are accessible.
Using LinkedIn to find a job used to be a lot easier when the jobs platform was separate from the main site. But in 2019, LInkedIn folded Jobs into the main site and app.
If you click on Jobs in the LinkedIn menu, it will show you the latest available jobs based on your profile.
Using the algorithm of jobs you’ve searched for on the site, LinkedIn jobs will appear that you may be interested in.
Once you find a job and choose to apply for it, you’ll have two ways to do so:
- Some jobs may allow you to use the Easy Apply feature: This will allow you to immediately send your resume to the employer in the LinkedIn interface
- Other companies will forward you to their career site to go through the full process of filling out an application online
What To Do After You Apply
After you apply for a job on LinkedIn, this is where the site punches above its weight: Remember those connections you added to your network?
Circle back to them to tell them that you applied for a position and would appreciate a reference. Linkedin makes it easy for candidates to ask for a reference and add it to their application.
Last Words
LinkedIn has a lot more features that can help you find a job. One of the best ways to take advantage of the site or app is to continue to build your connections.
Your network will be the way that you get exposed to new jobs and employment opportunities that you may be interested in.
