Vulgar aerobics protest outside Ambiga’s house
Posted: at 1:12 am
(FMT) -A group of 15 men, believed to be retired army veterans, have resorted to staging a vulgar aerobics protest in front of Bersih co-chairmans home, S Ambiga.
They came in front of my house and performed a vulgar dance show. It was very ugly and disgusting.
They also chanted Hidup Polis and Hidup BN, said Ambiga, who was at the court when contacted this morning.
The group of veterans then resorted to performing a strange form of aerobics by showing their bottoms.
Ambiga also said the group of men dared her as well.
They dared me to sue them, otherwise they claimed that they would return with a bigger crowd.
Ambiga added that police were present near her home but they did not take any action.
They did not take action because the police yesterday announced that there was nothing wrong protesting in front of my house, she said.

AFM trainers complete training of hundreds of Somali soldiers in Uganda
Posted: at 1:12 am
Ready for duty: Hundreds of Somali recruits have completed an extensive military training programme under the auspices of the EU
Karl Stagno-Navarra
A three-man team of Armed Forces military trainers have completed a lengthy training excercise of hundreds of Somali solidiers in Bihanga, Uganda, under the auspicies of the European Union.
An estimated 3,000 recruits are expected to have been trained by the AFM, together with trainers from Spain, Germany and Sweden.
African news agencies reported that hundreds of brand-new bayonets tied to automatic rifles, were held by army recruits during the passing out parade.
"We have trained four companies of the Somali army," says Irishman Michael Beary, the commander of the training force. "We do not only train the soldiers, but also the commanders. Together they will be a serious force that will make Somalia's fourth division the most effective one in their army."
The training programme cost 11 million.
But there are reports of Somali recruits who, after training sessions, defect from the national army to join al-Shabaab.
Somalia's Western-backed interim government is unstable, holding only a few areas in Mogadishu, as they continue to fight a revolt by al-Shabaab.
The Islamist militants recently merged with Al-Qaeda and are said to harbour dozens of Western sympathisers (thus posing a threat to Western security).

Yoga delivers calm to mothers-to-be

Prenatal yoga instructor Letty Shaw demonstrates techniques that women can do during their pregnancy at the Hutchinson Regional Medical Center in Hutchinson, Kan. (Colleen Lefholz, The Hutchinson News/Associated Press)
Katie Burge is more at ease during this pregnancy.
Her muscles are relaxed, and every time she has a cramp, she knows how to work it out. She expects to have her baby in about four weeks.
Burge, who already has two children, attributes the calmness to a prenatal yoga class at Hutchinson Regional Medical Center in Kansas.
"I've never done anything like it before," said Burge, of Lyons.
The 12-week program, which started in March, is the last project in instructor Letty Shaw's yoga training. Shaw's goal is to learn enough during this pilot program to teach other yoga instructors how to teach prenatal yoga.
"A lot of ladies can benefit from prenatal yoga," Shaw said. "There's no reason to hurt and suffer if there's something that can be fixed while not taking drugs or other things that are harmful to your body."
Shaw was in the midst of her initial yoga training about four years ago when she became pregnant with her third child. Before, she had problems with sciatica pain from a nerve that goes down the leg and lower back pain.
With yoga training, she never had a problem.
"I didn't hurt at all with my third child," she said. "I thought yoga was amazing. Everyone needs to know about it."
