I joined Makerere is 2004 with a friend of mine who successfully applied and got a scholarship to an Engineering University in Tokyo - Japan 🇯🇵 , we met a year later and she told me our Education system is a total Joke, Right now she heads the Engineering department of the Car making company she works for .. and I’m a comedian 😭😭😭😭😭
#UnpopularOpinion #130. Growing up in the 70s, the most celebrated in our communities were “Mafuta Mingi”- local tycoons who especially got filthy rich out of smuggling. Today, we celebrate educated people even when they haven’t gotten formal employment. We need therefore, to focus on an education that provides self-employment opportunities. Truth is, the formal job market especially in civil service is shrinking fast.
This is how we mention letters in Aviation while talking to control. This is standard Aviation language used worldwide.
A - Alpha
B - Bravo
C - Charlie
D - Delta
E - Echo
F - Foxtrot
G - Golf
H - Hotel
I - India
J - Juliet
K - Kilo
L - Lima
M - Mike
N - November
O - Oscar
P - Papa
Q - Quebec
R - Romeo
S - Sierra
T - Tango
U - Uniform
V - Victor
W - Whiskey
X - X-ray
Y - Yankee
Z - Zulu
So if the aircraft's registration is 5X TAK when communicating with control I will say.
Entebbe Control, this is 5 X-ray Tango Alpha Kilo requesting Take off. Now you understand why you hear people in movies saying such words while talking to control.
I hope this lesson will help you understand aviation better☺️
I grew up in a lower, transitioning to upper, middle income situation, but did not have a happy childhood. Haven’t inherited anything ever from anyone, nor has anyone given me a large financial gift.
My father created a small electrical/mechanical engineering company that was successful for 20 to 30 years, but it fell on hard times. He has been essentially bankrupt for about 25 years, requiring financial support from my brother and me.
That said, he does deserve credit for teaching me the fundamentals of physics, engineering and construction, which is more valuable than money, but did not support me financially after high school in any meaningful way.
Our condition of providing him financial support was that he not engage in bad behavior. Unfortunately, he nonetheless did. There are young children involved, so we continued to provide financial support for their well-being.
Regarding the so-called “emerald mine”, there is no objective evidence whatsoever that this mine ever existed. He told me that he owned a share in a mine in Zambia, and I believed him for a while, but nobody has ever seen the mine, nor are there any records of its existence.
If this mine was real, he would not require financial support from my brother and me.
Renowned Ugandan blogger Ibrahim Tusubira alias Isma Olaxess has been shot dead in Kyanja, police have confirmed. Preliminary reports indicate that an unidentified gunman armed with an SMG opened fire at the blogger's vehicle resulting in the fatal shooting. #NTVNews
There's a free ticket to @BtcPrague on the line and the question is:
"Name the location you'd choose to set up a circular #Bitcoin economy, and describe why specifically there?"
I've got a favorite but I'm curious what you think. Who deserves the ticket?
