At least 18 students from Makerere University who were arrested on Monday this week during a students’ strike over tuition fees were sent to Luzira Upper Prison until next week.
Among the students sent Luzira include Makerere University Councilor Bernard Luyiga, who on Tuesday collapsed from a Police Cell in Kampala. The suspects in the cell told journalists that Luyiga collapsed after being kicked in the stomach by a certain police officer.

On Monday this week one student was also reportedly shot in leg by the Police and many others injured and rushed to Mulago Hospital some in critical condition. The students were protesting against the new university policy, which requires them to pay over 60% of their tuition fees in the first week of the semester.

You can boost your memory, and posture with frog jumps. Frog jumps are not a new word to our ears and not just childish games, either.

Also known as ‘Wa Tia’ in Chinese language, the frog part of the exercise suggests one moving in the same way as the frog does.

The benefits are that it regulates body metabolism thus enabling the body to retain or push out unnecessary substances. It burns body fats thus maintaining a healthy body [free from obesity and diabetes). When done routinely, frog jumps enhance a good memory, being a form of fun games for both children and adults, and also stress is nipped in the bud when one frogs.

Frog jumps enhance good sleep since one sweats and releases body toxins. Frog jumps relieve legs of pain and stiffness. This creates overall body relaxation and fitness.

How we can do Pilates in our homes. Lie on your back with legs straight and arms stretched above your head and shoulders down.

Keep your back flat on the floor, slowly fit your arms towards the ceiling as you breathe in and as you breathe out.

Slowly roll forward, peeling your spine off the mat.  The head remains straight, eyes focused forward; stomach remains taut and not crunched.  Breathe in again. Stretch out over your legs. Don’t pause but as you breathe in roll up again. You can do all these for over 10 times in a given day.
