@KoryangLepera@DuncanAbigaba@KagutaMuseveni@mkainerugaba Actually all these kingdoms sprouted from bunyoro-kitara which covered most of contemporary Uganda, half of eastern Kenya and Tanzania... For a person who knows the folklore, you should know that.... Your statement is moot... Like most of the above...
The beauty of the Gaussian integral is that a stubborn one-dimensional integral becomes simple only after we square it, move into two dimensions, and let polar coordinates reveal the symmetry. A beautiful example of geometry unlocking analysis.
This building has no electricity bill. And it was built from its own ground.
When they excavated the foundation, they kept the soil. That red, iron-rich Waterberg earth was rammed into walls thick enough to stay cool at 40Β°C during the day and hold warmth when temperatures drop to -5Β°C at night. The wall is the heating system. The wall is the cooling system. The material did what a machine would have cost millions to do.
This is what material intelligence looks like. The architects understood where and for whom this space was made for.
3,000 students a year learn conservation inside a building that is itself the lesson. Net Zero Carbon certified. Completely off grid. Built for under $3.1 million for an entire campus.
We keep copying the so called western modernism glass, concrete, air conditioning and wondering why our buildings are hot, expensive and tired in 20 years. Limpopo communities have been building with rammed earth for generations. This school just proved it works at scale.
The answer was never imported. It was always in the ground beneath us.

Most people will end today exactly where they started.
Give this one hour instead.
This lecture from Massachusetts Institute of Technology breaks down wealth, compounding, and long-term thinking in a way most financial advice never does.
Itβs less about chasing money and more about understanding how lasting wealth is actually built.
Traditional finance often teaches you how to work inside the system.
This helps you think about creating something that works for you.
Watch it tonight and youβll probably see money decisions differently by the end of the week.
Small shifts in thinking can compound for years.
Free to watch.
Save it before you forget.
Africa has more entrepreneurs per capita than any other region β but too much of it is survivalist.
@WorldBankGroup researchers estimate that only 5% of businesses in Africa are productive, with 1 employee or more.
The other 95% are solo businesses that tend not to contribute much to the net output of the economy.
Now Professor Erik Stam (@EshipRules) et al. just published the first peer-reviewed framework built specifically to measure the conditions for productive entrepreneurship across Africa.
27 countries. 21 indicators. 7 dimensions.
It's called the Africa Entrepreneurial Ecosystem Index (AEEI) and it ranks national ecosystems not by how many businesses exist β but by whether the conditions exist to make them productive.
A few findings:
β’ Mauritius and South Africa have the most conducive environments for productive entrepreneurship, but they both have significant room for improvement. The index runs to 7.0. Mauritius scores 4.66.
β’ North Africa is structurally underrated. Four of the top five ecosystems are North African and the region dominates Tier 2.
β’ Nigeria β the 'giant of Africa' β punches below its weight in Tier 3. The country is arguably the world capital of survivalist entrepreneurship with ~98% of businesses having 5 employees or less.
β’ Access to capital and business support networks β the two conditions entrepreneurs need most to scale β are the weakest dimensions for all countries measured.
Africa has tremendous entrepreneurial energy.
But hustle alone won't transform the continent. That requires institutional, financial, and infrastructural conditions that help businesses scale.
All transformation starts with confronting the current reality.
And the data now exists to evaluate where African countries stand relative to productive entrepreneurship.

@kirya_ug But you people have a lot of time on your hands to watch, and, listen to comments made by that buffon, regime sycophant, and a boot licker... You should get better things to do with your time! I am just saying... π€·
@jamesonen The problem was his son was in SA in the comfort of his SA campus peaceful. Unbothered by it all. Why didn't he get his son to join him in his protests other than calling upon other people's sons and daughters? ππ
@jamesonen The bit that really got to me was when 5 people-of women,kids,fathers had just been shot by the police during a protest and besigye gives an interview urging children, mothers and fathers to go to the streets and protest. Now that wouldn't have been a problem.
Interesting to consider. In future elections they may want to consider how to boost turnout. Offer free beer at polling stations for those who have voted. Then I might consider dragging my ass to a polling station instead of sleeping on election day as I normally do . Hahaha
@shyamtanna_ His a Ugandan and is entitled to all rights enjoyed by a citizen of this country. None of us are the indigenous native people of this country apart from the Batwa. We all came from somewhere and settled here-at least our ancestors did... I am disappointed by the overt racism here
