boys buried in snow pile heard rescuers calling

NEWBURGH, N.Y. (AP) — Two boys
trapped in a snow pile for about seven
hours after a plow buried them could
hear their worried family's cries but
couldn't respond loudly enough to be
heard, they said Friday. Police credited
an air pocket with saving their lives.
The two cousins, 11-year-old Elijah
Martinez and 9-year-old Jason Rivera,
were building a snow fort Wednesday
night across the street from Elijah's
apartment in Newburgh when a plow
operator clearing a parking lot
unknowingly pushed snow over them.
Buried in about 5 feet of snow, they
could barely move and couldn't breathe
very well, so they could do nothing as
they heard the anguished cries nearby.
Jason lost his gloves. His hat flew off.
They relied on each other to stay alive,
they said, sharing Elijah's face mask to
try and keep their hands warm and
talking to each other so they wouldn't fall
asleep.
"I felt so tired. It didn't feel real that they
were coming to get us," Elijah said at a
news conference at the hospital where
the boys were recovering.
Meanwhile, their parents were growing
more frantic, calling police and searching
through the snowy streets for the
children who were mere feet from the
apartment.
"I just kept telling myself: 'This is not
true. This is not real,'" said Jason's
mom, Aulix Martinez. "It was just scary,
and as time went on, it got scarier. I was
begging the police to please find them."

Lion blindsided by crocodile in river escapes

Lions might be the kings of the jungle, but crocodiles rule the river. At least most of the time. That wasn’t the case in a video shared by Kruger Sightings the other day. It shows a young lion crossing a river and getting blindsided by a crocodile. A woman in the background can be heard saying, “Oh my God; oh my God,” just before the inevitable. But it has a happy ending: A happy ending for the lion, that is. The crocodile’s next meal would have to wait. The footage was captured by a tourist while standing on the H10 bridge near the Lower Sabie River in the Kruger National Park in South Africa. “All we can say is, lions should always look both [ways] before crossing the river,” Kruger Sightings said on Facebook

Emily Skye Just Shared A Super-Honest Post

On November 28. Fitness trainer Emily Skye has been keeping fans up to date on her pregnancy, and now she's getting super honest about how much weight she's gained. In a candid new Instagram post, Emily revealed that she's gained 46 pounds so far (she's due in a few weeks), which is a little bit more than she planned. "My pregnancy hasn't really gone to plan as far as my fitness is concerned," she captioned two selfies that showed off her baby bump. "I thought I'd be able to keep up with my exercise until the end of my pregnancy but that did NOT happen haha. Due to a long term back problem (I've spoken about before) & sciatica I haven't been able to exercise for the past 2 months as I was just too uncomfortable & it was starting to make my back & sciatica worse. I made the choice to listen to my body & stop. It's only short term inactivity & there's always time to get my fitness back later." Let your worko...

Woman Delivers Baby Boy After 5-Year Pregnancy

An Abuja-based woman who was barren for 27 years has delivered a baby boy after five years of pregnant in a church in Lagos State Western Nigeria. The woman, Adenike Kolawole delivered on Sunday 26/10/14 at Evangelical Church of Cherubim and Seraphim located at Pipeline Road, Mafon area, Ejigbo, Lagos during church service. Kolawole who is married to Kayode said her problem started after she had a miscarriage. She said she has been looking for the fruit of womb since then. She said she had sought both medical and spiritual help before she noticed that she was pregnant. But at the same time she was observing her normal mensural circles. She said she waited endlessly to deliver but all that expectations was to no avail. This prompted her to relocate to Lagos. She said the search for spiritual solution brought her to the church where she eventually delivered the baby. She said those years were traumatic because her husband was under intensive pressure to send he...

See Amaechi

Wike cannot mobilize any grassroot outside his Ikwerre ethnic nationality. GEJ and PDP know this; they will not give him the party ticket. How can Ikwerre rule for over 8 years then they want to continue? Wike can be likened to Goliath so big and so formidable but its a small stone that will end it all.
