I will burst your bubbles’ Melaye to Governor Bello after arrest

Senator Dino Melaye, representing Kogi West, has said he would ‘burst the bubbles’ of Governor Yahaya Bello, if anything incriminating is planted on his coastal bus.

According to the Lawmaker who defected to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, from the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, after some unresolved internal issues, told of how his bus was arrested by the governor’s ADC.

Melaye noted that his bus was searched and nothing incriminating was found in the bus, but the bus including the occupants haven’t released regardless.

His words: Adc to the governor arrested my coaster bus, searched the car in the presence of the occupant and some Naval officers and found nothing incriminating but surprisingly He refuse to release the vehicle and the occupants after 6hours. Plant anything and I will burst your bubbles.

Woman shows how to capture frozen bubbles

RENO. Nev. (KOLO) With a straw from the Chevron station, and her child's shampoo bottle, Tanya Stafford tries to create magic on her neighbor's back porch.

We caught up with her early afternoon to try to recreate what she does normally in the early morning hours with temperatures 15 degrees and below.

It takes a matter of seconds, she says, for the crystals to form inside the bubble. But it doesn't always happen so instantaneously.

"Look at the temperature, make sure it is not cloudy, make sure it is not windy. It has to be cold enough. Then I get suited up. Feed the animals and then I come over here and that way I am here right as the sun rises. And then I can start making the bubbles," says Tanya

She watched the bubble magic about two years ago on YouTube and had to try it herself. But regular bubbles wouldn't work. So she found a recipe that would do the winter trick.

It involves dishwater soap, sugar and corn syrup, and a couple other ingredients. And then a lot of patience as she creates a bubble during the sunrise.

"The bubble will just form and then it turns into the ice orb," says Tanya.

No two bubbles are alike, she says, and if you think getting these still pictures or videos is easy, think again.

She quickly has to snap a shot, or place her phone on a set of Legos to capture the forming crystals with as steady a hand as possible.

A confessed shutterbug, this is most challenging, artistic, and rewarding photography she says she's ever done.

With morning temperatures of 15 degrees or lower, her ideal situation, she has only a couple more days to create her pictures. Then she may have to wait until next winter.
