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."

Fani kayode in support of corruption.

Fani – Kayode’s statement =“I have just spoken to Colonel Kayode Are, the former D-G of SSS during President Olusegun Obasanjo’s administration and the former Acting National Security Adviser to President Goodluck Jonathan and I am deeply concerned. He told me that his house is under siege and that gunshots are being fired at him and his family as we were speaking. “I am not sure what the issue is about but a situation where security men go to the home of a respected patriot like that and start shooting at him and his family for whatever reason is unacceptable and extremely dangerous. When you consider what is happening in Are’s home and marry with the shameful manner in which Colonel Sambo Dasuki, Chief Raymond Dokpesi, Governor Attahiru Bafawara, Alhaji Bashir Yuguda, Nnamdi Kanu, Godswill Orubebe, Bukola Saraki, Sule Lamido and others are being persecuted, threatened and demonised by the Federal Government it is clear that we are now in a police s...

Ebiripo: one of the best Ijebu Food

In spite of the fact that most of the Ijebu foods are tuber-related such as Ikokore, Ojojo, Ebiripo etc, the process of cooking these tuber varieties with special sauces makes them nutritionally rich and appropriate for all occasions. Ebiripo is a typical Ijebu cocoyam meal that can be cooked in various ways and spiced up to make a balanced diet. Cocoyam is purely carbohydrates and poor in other nutrients but many have now found ways to make the roots nutritious by adding soya beans while making Ebiripo. According to a study by Sowonola O. A. Et al, from the Federal College of Agriculture, Moor Plantation, Ibadan, Oyo State, “The combination of cocoyam and soyabeans in the processing of Ebiripo will bring about nutrient complement ability”. They submitted in their findings that Ebiripo fortified with 40% soya flour was significantly 28% higher in protein and 8.4% higher in fat than the other Ebiripo samples. Ingredients needed for a Nutritious Ebiripo Cocoyam Soya beans Ground fresh P...
