European Union Training Mission Somalia European Union Training Mission Somalia PRESS SUMMARY 07th April 2018 “In ‘Media’ stat virtus Twin Bomb Blasts Kill 2 in Somalia's Capital, 4 Militants Eliminated – Reports 206.04.2018 - MOSCOW (Sputnik) - At least six individuals were killed and some others injured as a result of twin car bomb attacks in Somalia’s capital of Mogadishu, the Garowe Online news website reported Friday, citing security officials and eyewitnesses. The first explosives-laden car exploded near the city's Aden Abdulle Airport when intercepted by the local intelligence at the checkpoint, the media said. The bomber died, while three National Intelligence and Security Agency members were injured. READ MORE: Four Somali Officials Killed by Al-Shabab Militants in Mogadishu — Reports The second car blew up at another checkpoint near Sei Piano area. The blast killed two soldiers and wounded some others, while three militants were eliminated by the Somali troops. Al-Shabaab militants, who have sworn allegiance to the al-Qaeda terror group (banned in Russia), claimed responsibility for the attack. Somalia has been engulfed in violence since the eruption of a civil war between clan-based armed factions in the early 1990s. Al-Shabaab is staging numerous attacks across the country in an attempt to impose a radical version of Sharia law. https://sputniknews.com/africa/201804061063295074-twin-bomb-blast-somalia-militants/ Six killed in Mogadishu twin explosions Civilians look on as smoke billows from the scene of an explosion at a security checkpoint in the Hodan district of Mogadishu, Somalia on April 6, 2018. | Photo Credit: REUTER MOGADISHU:, April 07, 2018 In the second attack, two soldiers were killed after troops neutralised 3 militants who passed through a checkpoint with vehicle-borne improvised explosive device. At least six persons including two soldiers have been killed and several others injured in two separate explosions here. The police and witnesses said on Friday the first explosion occurred at a checkpoint along the road near the airport in Mogadishu after the vehicle had been intercepted by the security officers manning the checkpoint. The blast injured three soldiers while a bomber died, Xinhua reported. “The second blast occurred an hour later at another checkpoint in Sei piano in Hodan district [west of Mogadishu] a few minutes after Friday prayers,” said a police officer who declined to be named. He said two soldiers were killed after the security forces killed three militants who had passed through the checkpoint with vehicle-borne improvised explosive device (VBIED). Internal Security spokesman Abdiaziz Ali Ibrahim said security forces managed to thwart the deadly attack by the extremists. Mr. Ibrahim said the security officers managed to stop the suicide bomber but noted that the vehicle exploded after the security forces barred it from entering the road to the airport. http://www.thehindu.com/news/international/six-killed-in-mogadishu-twin- explosions/article23463374.ece Three Killed in Pair of Suicide Car Bombings in Somali Capital MOGADISHU, SOMALIA — April 06, 2018 Three people are dead after a pair of suicide car bombings in Somalia's capital, police said Friday. The first explosion occurred at an army checkpoint on the airport road in Mogadishu, injuring one soldier, Capt. Mohamed Hussein said. The bomber apparently was heading to Mogadishu's international airport but was stopped by soldiers. The heavily fortified airport houses embassies and is a major target for al-Shabab extremists. The second car bomb detonated shortly afterward near busy Benadir junction after soldiers stopped the vehicle, firing on it as it tried to speed through a checkpoint. The three dead included a soldier, Hussein said. There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the two explosions. The al-Qaida-linked al- Shabab often targets high-profile areas of the capital and holds large parts of southern and central Somalia. https://www.voanews.com/a/three-killed-pair-suicide-car-bombings-somali- capital/4335415.html Somali security forces prevents two car bomb attacks in Mogadishu April 6, 2018 Somali security forces prevents two car bomb attacks in Mogadishu. [Photo: Twitter]Mogadishu-(Puntland Mirror) Somali security forces in Mogadishu have prevented two suicide car bombs on Friday, army officer said. A Somali Security officer, who requested anonymity, told Puntland Mirror that the forces stopped a car bomb seemingly heading to Mogadishu International airport, killing a suicide bomber. A second car bomb exploded at security checkpoint in Mogadishu when the forces stopped it, killing at least two suspected to be Al-Shabab fighters, according to the officer. At least three security soldiers were wounded in the blasts, the officer added. No group has claimed the responsibility, but Al-Shabab militant group often carry out blasts in the capital, Mogadishu. The Friday’s attacks happened few hours after Mogadishu hosted its first marathon race since 1991. http://puntlandmirror.net/somali-security-forces-prevents-two-car-bomb-attacks-mogadishu/ http://theinsider.ug/index.php/2018/04/06/besigye-condemns-parliament-over-soldiers-killed- in-somalia/ Somalia: opposing government troops fighting leads to displacement April 6, 2018 - Mogadishu-KNN- A fighting between government soldiers erupted in Mogadishu Thursday afternoon, Radio Kulmiye reports. The warning government troops organised as clan based trying to control a village near the ministry of defence. The village called 77 is former military camp, in which civilians inhabited for long years ago. At least five people dead and 10 others wounded, according to witnesses. But, most of the residents with children and elders displaced to other districts of Banadir region. There is no intervention from the government and Banadir regional administration. http://radiokulmiye.net/2018/04/06/somalia-opposing-government-troops-fighting-leads-to- displacement/ AMISOM WIll Take Over Parliament Security Only On Request By Somalia, Madeira Says On Apr 6, 2018 The African Union Special Representative to Somalia Amb. Francesco Gaetano Madeira has reversed an earlier declaration by Amisom Commander Paul Lokech that it had taken over Parliaments’s security after the Wednesday standoff. “The African Union Commission and AMisom respect the sovereignty of the people of Somalia and recognize their rights and have full confidence in the capacity of its Leadership to address the challenges besetting their country including the current political challenges that saw the Lower house of the parliament being split in two” Madeira said. “In this context, AMISOM has no mandate to impose on the Somali people and, indeed, on the Parliament, the way they should conduct their business. AMISOM will, therefore, not take control of the House of the People unless the competent Somali authorities request it to do so in full respect and within the parameters of AMISOM mandate” he stated. “AU and AMISOM recognize and respect the right of the Somali Federal Parliament to determine when, where and how they conduct their business. It is therefore not the responsibility of AMISOM to determine where and how they should handle their parliamentary activities” Madeira statement said. AU says it will continue to back the Federal institituions until Somalia is ready to tale over its security. AU calls for rival politicians to resolve the current political stalemate. “The African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) is deeply concerned with the security implications of Wednesday’s developments in Parliament. I appeal to the Members of Parliament, legitimate representatives of the people of Somalia, to continue to exercise restraint as they strive to resolve the differences that oppose them”. Somalia has been thrown in to a one month old political squabble pitting the Speaker of the Lower House Mohamed Osman Jawari and the Executive. http://radiodalsan.com/en/amisom-will-take-over-parliament-security-only-on-request-by- somalia-madeira-says/ U.S. conducts air strike in Somalia, says three militants killed MOGADISHU (Reuters) - The U.S. military said on Friday it had killed three militants after launching an air strike in Somalia against al Shabaab, a militant Islamist group allied with al Qaeda. The military’s Africa Command (Africom) said they carried out the strike on April 5 near the town of Jilib, about 230 miles (370 km) southwest of Mogadishu. “In coordination with the Federal Government of Somalia, U.S. Forces conducted an air strike against Al-Shabaab militants near Jilib ... killing three terrorists and destroying one vehicle with a mounted heavy machine gun,” it said in a statement. Washington has expanded its operations in the Horn of Africa country after President Donald Trump eased combat rules last year. Since withdrawing from the capital Mogadishu in 2011, al Shabaab lost control of most of Somalia’s cities and towns. But they retain a strong presence in regions outside the capital. On Friday, one soldier was killed by a militant who attacked a checkpoint in Mogadishu. A car bomb in the same place injured two other soldiers. Al Shabaab claimed responsibility for the attack. https://in.reuters.com/article/somalia-security-usa/u-s-conducts-air-strike-in-somalia-says- three-militants-killed-idINKCN1HD1WC?rpc=401& US military flights still suspended in Djibouti, but operations in Africa continue U.S. Marines fast-rope from a CH-53E Super Stallion during helicopter rope suspension technique training near Camp Lemonnier, Djibouti, Feb. 7, 2017.

  • La Tècnica De Carrera
    Rendiment Atletisme I: Models Tècnics Professor: Miguel Vélez Blasco Part I: Carreres i Marxa - Tema 2 LA TÈCNICA DE CARRERA Córrer, el mateix que caminar o saltar, és una forma intuïtiva de desplaçament. A causa de la seva naturalitat, es pot considerar un gest tècnic senzill, però si el seu objectiu és l’assoliment de registres d’alt nivell, resulta una activitat força complexa mecànicament. Si a més tenim en compte que el seu patró motor s’adquireix abans que pugui intervenir un entrenador, resulta que qualsevol modificació dirigida a la millora del rendiment es fa molt difícil. Figura 1. Representació de corredors en una àmfora grega del segle V aC. 1. HISTÒRIA Els orígens antics de la carrera competitiva es troben en la Grècia clàssica on ja es competia sobre les següents distàncies: - “Stadion”: carrera de velocitat la distància de la qual era la longitud de l’estadi, d’on li ve el nom, i que variava d’una ciutat a una altra (a Olimpia 192.27 m, a Epidaure 181.30 m, a Delfos 177.05 m, a Pèrgam 210 m). L’esforç dels atletes era tremend ja que la pista era de sorra i corrien descalços. Va ser l’única prova esportiva durant les primeres tretze olimpíades de l’antiguitat (des del 776 aC) i es va mantenir durant les seves 293 edicions fins a l’any 393 dC quan l’emperador Teodosi els va prohibir. - “Diaulos”: carrera de dos estadis (384.54 m), anada i tornada, sent l’arribada al mateix punt de sortida. Es va disputar per primera vegada en els XIV Jocs Olímpics.

  • Outdoor Track and Field DIVISION I Men’S
    Outdoor Track and Field DIVISION I MEN’S Highlights Aggies emerge from men’s track pack for first crown: The term “4x1” nearly took on new meaning at the Division I Men’s Outdoor Track and Field Championships, as the final event offered the possibility that four teams could tie for the team title. Texas A&M made the most of the opportunity and won its first national championship in the sport June 13 in Fayetteville, Arkansas. The term “4x1” normally refers to the 400-meter relay, but the title actually was decided in the meet-ending 1,600-meter relay, where the Aggies finally caught Oregon and held off two other rivals to spoil those teams’ title hopes. The win clinched a rare double victory since Texas A&M had captured the women’s track and field title moments earlier. “We’re the national champions,” said Justin Oliver, who anchored the Aggies to a second-place finish in the 1,600-meter relay to lock up the title. “Texas A&M, no one else. That’s all I could say when I finished the race. We did it! We did it!” Oliver is a member of coach Pat Henry’s first graduating class, which brought the former LSU coach – who led the Tigers to three men’s and 12 women’s national track and field titles – his first crowns in five seasons at Texas A&M. “We’re extremely pleased. My staff worked very hard, and this is a very gratifying pair of championships for this team,” Henry said.

    The Sub-4 Alphabetic Register (1,568 athletes as at 23 April 2019) Within a year of the death of the first sub-four-minute miler, Sir Roger Bannister, at the ago of 88, the total number of athletes who have broken through the once historic barrier is past 1,550. No country has kept greater faith with the legend of the sub-four-minute mile than the USA. During the 2019 indoor season in that country there were 73 sub-four-minute performances, and the total of US sub-four-minute milers is now over 550. Elsewhere, even the distant past eventually yields its secrets: a hitherto overlooked performance from as long ago as 1974 by a Bulgarian was not discovered until 36 years later! Bulgaria remains something of a mystery because another sub-four minute mile by a Bulgarian in 1992 (no venue or exact date) has only recently been caught up with! There are now 19 sets of brothers, including five sets of twins, and 11 sets of fathers and sons who have broken four minutes. The most recent contributors to this family tradition are Jakob Ingebrigtsen, brother of Filip and Henrik Ingebrigtsen; John Coghlan, son of Eamonn Coghlan; Johnny Gregorek, son of John Gregorek; Liam Dee, son of Billy Dee: and Jamie Williamson, son of Graham Williamson. The Gregoreks have now replaced Kip and Martin Keino as the most successful father/son miling partnership, based on the average of their best times.The Ingbrigtsens have become the first set of three brothers to break four minutes.

    The Sub-4 Alphabetic Register (1663 athletes as of April 13, 2021) WITHIN A YEAR of the death of the first sub-4:00 miler, Sir Roger Bannister, at the age of 88, the total number of athletes who have broken through the once historic barrier was already past 1550, and no country has kept greater faith with the legend of the sub-4 mile than the USA. Even during the COVID-ravaged year of ’21 there were 51 men who broke 4:00 indoors, of which 32 were Americans. Outdoors in ’20 there were 33 who enterprisingly did so in Australia, Great Britain, Italy, Lithuania, Norway, Switzerland and, of course, the USA. The total of US sub-4 milers is now 594, far ahead of Great Britain’s 215 and Kenya’s 152, with no other country yet nearing 100. The year ’21 has very soon passed another landmark, as Nick Willis, of New Zealand, has broken 4:00 for a record 19th successive year. The previous best of 18 was held by his countryman John Walker, but Steve Scott of the USA, is still the most prolific sub-4 miler in history, with 137 such times to his credit. Elsewhere, even the distant past has eventually yielded its secrets: a hitherto overlooked performance from as long ago as 1974 by a Bulgarian was not discovered until 36 years later!
