MKAPA TOWER & PPF TOWER

The era of Mkapa and PPF Towers to dominate the sky of Dar is culminating. The ongoing construction works just beside PPF tower is the case, these two towers at different times used to be the tallest buildings in Tanzania.

UJENZI WA BARABARA SHANGANI - MTWARA

Hili ni bango la Mkandarasi wa barabara kule Shangani west - Mtwara. Kwa wenyeji, limewekwa hapo muda mrefu (zaidi ya miezi 6) bila ujenzi wowote kuendelea. Hapa nimelikuta likiwa limeanguka chini , wasamalia walilisimamisha ili niweze kupata taswira nzuri! Ujenzi huu ulisababisha kufungwa kwa kituo cha daladala cha Kambarage, sijui watumiaji wa kituo hiki imewagharimu kiasi gani kwa muda wote ili kufikia kilipo kituo kipya? TAFAKARI!!

NANI KAMA MEMBE?

Hili ni banda la biashara, lipo pembeni mwa barabara ya Mingoyo Mtwara katika wilaya ya Lindi vijijini. Miezi miwili iliyopita halikuwepo na wananchi hawa wauza matunda walipanga bidhaa zao kwenye meza chakavu pasipo na paa. Naweza kuona mabadiliko haya, ni hatua!! Soma pia moja ya maadishi kwenye banda hilo!

MWAKA MMOJA BAADA YA KIFO CHA SHEICK GOROGOSI

Hapa ni Mnolela, mahali ambapo ajali ya gari iliyopelekea kifo cha Sheick Suleiman Gororgosi ilitokea. Kibao hichi kimewekwa katika eneo la tukio kama kinavyosomeka.

ROAD CONSTRUCTION IN NEWALA

Downtown Newala, ongoing road construction to upgrade to tarmac. Conglatulations to responsible authorities. But! My concern is on road diversions, literaly there is no guided and/ or temporary diversion either. Traveler have to find his way to make through, sometimes ending up into someone's house. The contractor is obliged to provide right of way to travellers, not all travellers are resident of Newala hence road signage must be in place.

HOW DOES A DOMESTIC SEPTIC TANK WORKS

INTRODUCTION
In our homes, we create waste. Some of the waste is what is termed "gray water"--from our sinks, bathtubs, showers and washing machines (if we use biodegradable soaps) and this waste can be recycled to be used to water the grass and plants. Much of the waste is biological, sanitary waste, coming from our toilets and garbage disposals. In the absence of a functioning government run and maintained sewer system, this waste is traditionally vacated into a large tank dug into the ground somewhere within 10 or so feet from the house. This is called a septic tank.

The Workings of the Tank
A septic tank is a large holding tank where human waste can decompose into component parts so the recyclable portions can be returned to nature and the environmentally dangerous parts can be pumped away and carted off. The septic system is comprised of three parts: the tank, the distribution box and the leach field. The biological waste runs from the house into the tank, there it separates naturally into water, gases and undigested material. The gases will eventually vent into the atmosphere as part of the septic tank's plumbing system. The undigested material separates into "sludge" which drops to the bottom of the tank and "scum" which floats to the top. Both the sludge and the scum are surrounded by baffled walls in the tank to prevent them from leaching into the surrounding environment. Between the sludge and the scum is the relatively clear water which is filtered, through a series of perforated pipes, to the distribution box and ultimately to the leach field, which is an area of ground around the tank that can absorb the liquid. When the tank fills to capacity, the sludge is pumped out by a truck with a huge vacuum cleaning device, and hauled away to be properly disposed of.

Safety
The leach field should be at least 100 feet away from your or your neighbor's well. As a general rule, the field should not be up-slope from a well and ought to be at least 100 feet from the high water mark of a pond or river. No part of the system should be under a porch or a driveway, and heavy vehicles should not be driven over any part of the system. There is a capped pipe sticking up from the tank somewhere about 10 feet from the house. By removing the cap and checking the level of the liquid within, you can ascertain whether you need to pump. It is not a good idea to wait too long.

WATER! WATER! AND WATER!!!!!!

Better to use water adequatelly. Poly pipe is leaking water in a place where accessess to piped water is minimal. A woman is collecting water from cut a piece of a could be distribution line to the public at large. It was not clear wheater it was a subortage or not. Plent of water being lost per given time since it was cut! Others are suffering while others are enjoying!!

SKY SCRAPPERS!!

New buildings undre construction in downtown Mtwara. Great to see this!

TALENTS

There are two talents here to be seen, there is a boxer at your right and a footboller at your left. I met these friends of mine at Lilido - Kitere in Mtwara rural.

POTENTIAL ENERGY EQUATION

Potential Energy (PE)is always refered as an energy due to position. It can be calculated by using the following equation:-
PE = mgh
Where m = mass (in kg) of an object/substance placed at a height h (in meters).
g = downward force due to gravity (in meters per second per second).
h = height from the ground (in meters) at which the object is placed.
Assume the weight of an object being lifted to height h is 50kg, the value for g is constant at 9.81 meters per sec per sec.

Suppose we have two people at two different height 1.50m and 1.85m respectivelly; my question is who is carrying big load? Which height has an advantage as far as lifting height is concerned?

PROTECT WATER SOURCES PLEASE!!

Water source I'm talking about is Mitema. A steep slope here leads you to a famous water source of Mitema. Overlooking the valley is Kitangali Teachers Training Collage. Up and down here can be seen man and woman cris crossing in search of water daily. It can be seen clearly that it is not well protected, for those who travel less the source is in Kitangali - Newala district. It operates under Makonde water supply.

EWURA RCCC

Attending training at Kunduchi beach Hotel, a training for EWURA Regional Consuner Consultative Council. Seen here are the members for Mtwara and Lindi respectivelly. I represent Mtwara region

TAIFA STARAS vs BRAZIL - The Celecao

I was among the football fans attended the match between Taifa Stars and The Brazilian national team at the National stadium. Seen in the photo with my relatives.

MINGOYO - MASASI ROAD

Hapa ni Darajani - Nangoo, mtoni pia yaweza kuwa ni bafu! Kuna utaratibu usio rasmi kwamba jinsia zimegawana upande wa mto kwa ajili ya matumizi haya. Zingatia usalama wa vyanzo vya maji!

AMERICAN EMBASSY!!

On my way Lindi - Milola - Lindi I find this esteemed office, I thouught it was an American embassy right at the Centre of Ng'apa village!!

LINDI SEA VIEWS

As discending from Mtanda area of Lindi Municipal, a beautiful scene is seen. The red roof tiles are the Sokoine Refferal hospital buildings. Beautiful blue color of the sea - same as color of the sky!

MAZAO YA MASHAMBANI

Coconut farms and produce at Ng'apa village in Lindi Rural; good quantity of coconuts produce are produced here daily. Sold at 200.00 - 300.00 T. Sh each, fleet of trucks observed loading coconut to the market mainly in Dar es Salaam. Help these farmers for purchasing their product - there is no stakabadhi ghalani here.
