The State of the Building Sector Conference is pushing the conversation forward, advancing stronger building standards for sustainable development. It’s not just about structures, it’s about resilience, innovation, and a better future for our communities. 📢The call for abstracts is open until 30th April 2026. Share your research, insights, and solutions via conference.nbrb.go.ug.@MakCEDAT @Makerere @UCUniversity @kyambogou @UIPE_Uganda @SRB_Uganda @SurveyorsofUG @ARBUganda @ERBUganda @UgArchSociety @uonbi

Why an over-reinforced staircase. 🙅‍♂️g Concrete loves compression; steel is for tension. Putting rebar everywhere is a sign of poor optimization. High redundancy kills the client's budget while the engineer takes zero financial hit. Good design = Maximum strength + Minimum waste

@NiwaRodgers 120m can reach that current stage (shell structure), for quality works, he'll need another 120 to 180m to complete. Finishes vary with preference

Someone is telling me that he budgeted 120million to fully construct this house. I believe he’s lying-either the house is huge or he’s exaggerating the price. Can 50 million finish it ?

The Uganda Tennis Association has intensified efforts to popularize tennis sports in Northern Uganda, donating equipment and training over 20 games and sport teachers to introduce the game in school across Acholi Sub Region.

And it does it so intelligently

@BarackObama Say it with me.. Mother earths food for life is CO2..

@ERBUganda wishes the entire Engineering Fraternity a wonderful 40th Liberation Day! #LiberationDayUG #NRMLiberationDay

Forensic likelihood of collapse linkedin.com/posts/nathan-d…

JUST DAY TWO of the new year and we have already a 16 storey building collapse in South C, Nairobi. It doesn’t even surprise anymore.

The collapse of the South C building is not just a tragedy it’s a result of greed, impunity & failed oversight. Lives lost because profit was prioritized over safety. We must demand accountability. No more silence. #MerchantsOfDeath

@elonmusk You're getting there. "Seek and you shall find" is true. Study Walter Russell 's book "The Universal one" and then we can continue from there.

We cannot understand the true nature of the Universe, unless we question deeply. I want to know what is real, even if the answer is total obliteration of my consciousness.

The China Association for Science and Technology has released a list of the 30 most pressing scientific questions, engineering challenges, and industrial technology bottlenecks it has identified as facing the nation's development. The list is the eighth of its kind since 2018.

@elonmusk Indeed, the speed of tech advancement is astronomical.

AI video generation is advancing at the speed of light

@rogerfederer @RafaelNadal Good stuff 👍

Vamos, @RafaelNadal!   As you get ready to graduate from tennis, I’ve got a few things to share before I maybe get emotional.   Let’s start with the obvious: you beat me—a lot. More than I managed to beat you. You challenged me in ways no one else could. On clay, it felt like I was stepping into your backyard, and you made me work harder than I ever thought I could just to hold my ground. You made me reimagine my game—even going so far as to change the size of my racquet head, hoping for any edge.   I’m not a very superstitious person, but you took it to the next level. Your whole process. All those rituals. Assembling your water bottles like toy soldiers in formation, fixing your hair, adjusting your underwear... All of it with the highest intensity. Secretly, I kind of loved the whole thing. Because it was so unique—it was so you.   And you know what, Rafa, you made me enjoy the game even more.    OK, maybe not at first. After the 2004 Australian Open, I achieved the #1 ranking for the first time. I thought I was on top of the world. And I was—until two months later, when you walked on the court in Miami in your red sleeveless shirt, showing off those biceps, and you beat me convincingly. All that buzz I’d been hearing about you—about this amazing young player from Mallorca, a generational talent, probably going to win a major someday—it wasn’t just hype.   We were both at the start of our journey and it’s one we ended up taking together. Twenty years later, Rafa, I have to say: What an incredible run you’ve had. Including 14 French Opens—historic! You made Spain proud... you made the whole tennis world proud.   I keep thinking about the memories we’ve shared. Promoting the sport together. Playing that match on half-grass, half-clay. Breaking the all-time attendance record by playing in front of more than 50,000 fans in Cape Town, South Africa. Always cracking each other up. Wearing each other out on the court and then, sometimes, almost literally having to hold each other up during trophy ceremonies.   I’m still grateful you invited me to Mallorca to help launch the Rafa Nadal Academy in 2016. Actually, I kind of invited myself. I knew you were too polite to insist on me being there, but I didn’t want to miss it. You have always been a role model for kids around the world, and Mirka and I are so glad that our children have all trained at your academies. They had a blast and learned so much—like thousands of other young players. Although I always worried my kids would come home playing tennis as lefties.   And then there was London—the Laver Cup in 2022. My final match. It meant everything to me that you were there by my side—not as my rival but as my doubles partner. Sharing the court with you that night, and sharing those tears, will forever be one of the most special moments of my career.   Rafa, I know you’re focused on the last stretch of your epic career. We will talk when it’s done. For now, I just want to congratulate your family and team, who all played a massive role in your success. And I want you to know that your old friend is always cheering for you, and will be cheering just as loud for everything you do next.   Rafa that!   Best always, your fan, 
 Roger

I took great pleasure in attending the AI Training for Engineering Practitioners held at Golden Tulip, Westlands. The training, which ran between 10th and 14th March, 2025 aimed at equipping engineers to leverage AI in provision of resilient solutions to engineering problems.

@Thomas_Tayebwa I received multiple soft-threatening calls last year from the same group "mangu cash". Complained thru MTN to check authenticity of these numbers but nothing. Some audit needs to be done on them and similar. Them (or others) might have fleeced so many.

Whoever is regulating these online lenders should crack the whip on them. I have just received a call from some tough-speaking lady claiming to be from Mangu Cash threatening to deduct their loan money if I don't produce some random person who put my name as their next of kin when they were borrowing. I think a lot of criminality is going on. I hope our telecoms do not allow their mobile money platforms to be used to carry out fraud orchestrated by such unscrupulous companies. @Tom_Magambo you need to interest your self in this sector many Ugandans might be dying quietly.

I've visited both @EngineersBoard and ECOSS(Engineering Council of South Sudan) and I'm pleased to see some promising benefits from this MRA but further engagement and infrastructure realignment are still needed to unlock it's full potential for the region and later on Africa
