But why take church to court???? Why? SDA come here quickly...house cleaning....

Afrika needs liberation from religious fanatics who are irrelevant to the issues in the society. The church is not an island working in isolation from society. What affects the country affects the church and as such the church must be an agent of change to repair the social ills. It's very unfortunate to witness the church being part of the problem in the courtrooms. The recent legal development in (Seventh day Adventist Church) in Zimbabwe is a shame as opposition politicians seek to twist the arm of law under the guise of religious freedom.

Politicians are community leaders and when they are invited to the church pulpits they represent the arms of the state and its political identity. By nature opposition politics in Zimbabwe has lost its identity as it feeds on negative energy...rather they be alternative parties which must see the good and encourage the sitting government to deliver on their mandate. We build strong governments when we hold them accountable to their public office as civil servants... The political arm and the religious structure are all servicing the same nation, childish lawsuits charged with religious hypocrisy.

"Mr. Sanyatwe, who briefly spoke from the pulpit after being invited by Mr. Kudakwashe Tagwirei. Advocate Thabani Mpofu, purporting to represent a concerned member of the church, has released a strongly worded letter accusing the church’s leadership of desecration, political co-optation, and gross negligence. However, upon objective scrutiny, these allegations are not only misplaced but appear to be driven by partisan motivations disguised as spiritual concern" (Maverick).

The concerned member has lost touch with reality and his intoxication with "Adventism" and its "purity" neglects the "occupy till I come... He forgets David...a politician... Abraham had a private army.. Daniel a Minister with three brothers.. Hannaniah, Azariah, and Mishael, Ezra, Nehemiah even worked as a cupbearer to the Persian king.

"Select only strong, healthy, and good-looking young men,” he said. “Make sure they are well versed in every branch of learning, are gifted with knowledge and good judgment, and are suited to serve in the royal palace. Train these young men in the language and literature of Babylon."
"5 The king assigned them a daily ration of food and wine from his own kitchens. They were to be trained for three years, and then they would enter the royal service." Daniel 1:4-5

This toxic opposition position is pretentiously ignorant about the divine assignment of the chosen to influence the political system. If the church produces the best Godly people why should they be prohibited from assuming political power? I want you to "be heads and not tails" only those who teach the politics of the tails and what comes out under the tail would consume such content.

Contrary the head has the eyes, the ears, the horns, the mouth of a nation. It is a divine assignment to be of service in the corridors of power. I suggest that opposition parties move away from tail politics to the head politics, to think and speak truth to power.
President ED Mnangagwa has contributed immensely to the SDA in cash and in support. The church enjoys a cordial relationship with government and direct financial/facility donations. The very people claiming "sacred pulpit politics" have seen breaking the holy sabbath for their political meetings and functions.
The Church has channels of communication and no individual member can subvesiviky run an opposition political mobilisation to churches. It is the role of the Union to write to the conference and the conference to the church concerned. Intact the Union should write a letter distancing themselves from this malicious act.
Our very learned Advocate Thabani Mpofu used to go with Nelson to Zunde and church services advertising/campaigning for election, what has changed now? . What was the response from the church. Who wrote letters complaining that the church had been desecrated? .

Can the list of all SDA members who attended the book launch of Sakhala on Sabbath be made available? Why such double standards and two forked tongues claim righteousness while they desecrated the same institution . The real question is "how much of the church is influenced/controlled by opposition parties and how much contribution and control does opposition have in the SDA in Zimbabwe? Personally I think the letter was not fair, and the lawsuit is misplaced zeal and the intentions are that of political ambitions above decorum concerns.
Let us build a country and not tolerate side shows which present the church as divided by political parties. There is more work to do than egos to massage.FoT Maponga Marara Munyuki ChangaMbire Svosve DzimbaBgwe

Let's talk about the absurdity that is "A Scene Made of 100% Suzanne." Seriously, what kind of twisted imagination leads someone to think that creating a scene using only Suzanne—the iconic primitive shape in Blender—could ever be a good idea? Cody Gindy, in a display of sheer creativity or utter madness, has taken this concept and run with it, but let’s be real here: the result is unsettling at best and completely ridiculous at worst.

First of all, why are we glorifying a piece of software's primitive shape as the foundation for artistic expression? This isn’t avant-garde; it’s a regression into the basic tools of 3D modeling that should have been left behind in the early days of animation. Yes, the idea might sound clever on paper—let’s see how far we can stretch a single primitive into something "unique." But what has been created is not unique—it's a mere gimmick that fails to resonate on any meaningful level.

The fact that this "art" works well, according to some, is an insult to the very concept of artistry. It’s a lazy shortcut that allows creators to bypass the hard work and skill required to produce something genuinely engaging. Instead of pushing boundaries, we are left with a bizarre scene that feels more like a failed experiment than a legitimate piece of art. If we start celebrating such mediocrity, what does that say about our standards? Are we lowering the bar so much that we will accept anything as long as it’s slightly unsettling?

Moreover, this obsession with minimalism can be harmful. It breeds a culture where simplicity is mistaken for depth. Just because something is made from a single primitive does not make it profound or meaningful. It’s time we demand more from our creative endeavors. We should be pushing for complexity, nuance, and, yes, real artistic talent—not just slapping together a scene made of 100% Suzanne and calling it a day.

It’s astonishing how the art community could rally around this. Are we really that desperate for novelty that we’ll celebrate such a half-baked concept? Where is the outrage for artists who actually pour their souls into their work, only to be overshadowed by someone who took the easy way out? The narrative surrounding this piece is infuriating; it’s a slap in the face to those who strive for excellence in their craft.

In conclusion, the so-called "scene made of 100% Suzanne" is a testament to the laziness that is creeping into our creative spaces. If we continue to applaud such mediocrity, we risk destroying the very fabric of what art should represent: passion, skill, and a relentless pursuit of excellence. Let’s stop letting the absurd become the norm.

In a world where we can 3D print almost anything from food to body parts, it seems only natural that someone would turn their attention to glass. Yes, you heard it right! A recent buzz is making waves in the tech community: "Impresión 3D de vidrio a temperatura ambiente: ¿mito o realidad?" Apparently, the idea is to create beautiful glass objects without the need for a scorching furnace. Because who wouldn’t want to revolutionize glass-making by doing it at room temperature while sitting on their couch, sipping a latte?

I mean, let’s be real. Glass has been a staple in our lives for centuries, gracing our windows, bottles, and favorite “I’m not a hoarder, I’m just a collector” trinkets. But now, thanks to modern technology, we can potentially 3D print glass as if it were a trendy new silicone mold. What’s next? 3D printed ice cubes that don’t melt? Oh, the possibilities!

Imagine the sheer joy of explaining to your friends that those delicate glass sculptures they marveled at were created in the comfort of your living room. "Oh, this? Just a little something I whipped up while binge-watching my favorite series. No big deal, just a little ambient temperature glass printing!" But wait, before you rush to invest in that fancy 3D printer that promises to change your life, let’s take a moment to reflect.

Can we really create glass at room temperature? I mean, sure, the allure of crafting transparent masterpieces without the fear of third-degree burns is enticing. But are we prepared to give up the age-old tradition of watching skilled artisans work their magic with molten glass? What’s next? 3D printed masterpieces that come with a side of existential dread about the loss of craftsmanship?

And let’s not forget the "characteristics" of glass – transparency, chemical inertia, electrical insulation, resistance to heat, and recyclability. These are the features we’ve come to cherish in our everyday glass items. I shudder to think of a world where the only thing standing between me and a beautifully crafted glass vase is a poorly calibrated 3D printer at room temperature. Will it hold water? Or will it merely serve as a reminder of our technologically overenthusiastic age?

While the dream of 3D printing glass at ambient temperatures dances enticingly on the horizon, we must approach this innovation with a pinch of skepticism and a dash of humor. After all, if history has taught us anything, it's that some things are best left to the experts – like crafting a good glass of wine or mastering the art of making toast without burning it.

So, until we can confidently say, “Yes, I can 3D print a glass sculpture while lounging in my pajamas,” let’s keep our fingers crossed and our expectations in check. Because until then, I think I'll stick to the traditional method of acquiring glass – you know, those quaint little shops that still believe in craftsmanship.

In the shadows of my thoughts, I find myself wandering through a world that feels so distant, so cold. The vibrant colors of creativity and expression seem to fade away, leaving only shades of gray in their wake. I hear whispers of joy, echoes of laughter, but they feel like cruel reminders of what I can’t reach.

As I scroll through the pages of KitBash3D's Anniversary Sale, a flicker of hope ignites within me. The idea of building a collection, piecing together fragments of my imagination, is alluring. For a moment, I feel the excitement of purchasing 2 kits and getting one free. Or the thrill of buying 3 kits and receiving 3 more for free! It’s a tempting offer, an invitation to create, to escape the solitude that envelops my heart. But then, the reality strikes; I am alone in this endeavor, sitting in silence with only the shadows as my companions.

I can imagine the scenes I could craft, the worlds I could build with those kits. Yet, as I dream of these creations, the weight of disappointment presses down on me. It’s as if these kits hold the power to connect me to a community I crave, a place where my art could belong. But instead, I am left with an empty canvas, yearning for the strokes of companionship and belonging.

Every click on the website feels like a step closer to fulfillment, yet the void inside me remains unfilled. I see others sharing their creations, their joys, and here I am, lost in my solitude, with nothing but my thoughts to keep me company. The colors of their collections seem to mock my emptiness, my inability to reach out and connect.

As the days pass and the sale progresses, I find myself caught in a cycle of longing and despair. The idea of building my collection with KitBash3D is both a dream and a painful reminder of the distance that separates me from others. I want to share my journey, my creations, but the fear of rejection holds me back. The thought of being unnoticed, of standing in a crowd yet feeling invisible, is a haunting reality I struggle to accept.

In this moment of reflection, I realize that even amidst the offers and the allure of creation, it’s the connections that truly matter. I long for a companion to explore these kits with, to share laughter and ideas, to build a world together. But here I am, whispering my sorrow into the void, hoping that someday, someone will hear me.

Until then, I will keep dreaming, keep longing, and keep searching for the courage to reach out. The sale may end, but the desire to create and connect will forever linger in my heart, a bittersweet reminder of my solitude.

Je ne sais pas, parfois je me demande pourquoi on se fatigue tant avec l'email marketing. On parle souvent de promouvoir, de vendre, de lancer des produits, mais il y a aussi cette idée de nourrir une communauté. C'est vrai que c'est important, mais qui a vraiment envie de s'y mettre ?

Les emails, c'est bien pour les promotions, mais qu'en est-il des emails qui apportent de la valeur ? Ceux qui ne sont pas juste là pour nous faire acheter quelque chose. Apparemment, il faut aussi penser à ces messages, pour construire une vraie communauté. Je suppose que cela peut être utile, mais bon, c'est un peu ennuyeux, non ?

On pourrait dire que ça change un peu la routine, mais au fond, ça reste de l'email. Ça demande un peu de réflexion, une stratégie, tout ça. Et puis, qui a le temps pour ça quand on a déjà plein de choses à faire ? Envoyer des promotions, c'est facile. Mais nourrir une communauté, ça demande un peu plus d'efforts.

Enfin, si jamais quelqu'un a envie de se lancer dans cette histoire de communauté, peut-être qu'il pourra trouver des astuces dans l'article "Nurturing, Not Just Promoting: A Guide to Community-Building in Email Marketing". Mais bon, je ne suis pas sûr que ça va vraiment changer la donne.

In a world that once felt vibrant and alive, I find myself standing alone in the ruins of what used to be. The unveiling of the new visual identity for Groupama feels like a metaphor for the changes we never asked for—where the familiar warmth of the countryside is replaced by a cold, sterile aesthetic that whispers the language of startups. It’s as if the heart of something precious has been stripped away, leaving behind only echoes of laughter that now seem so distant.

I remember the days when the essence of Groupama resonated with the simplicity and beauty of the fields, the sun-drenched moments that spoke of connection and community. Now, with a logotype emerging from the depths of obscurity, it feels like a betrayal of those roots. The new design, while modern, feels hollow—like a shell of what once was, devoid of the emotions and stories that gave it life.

As I scroll through the images of this new identity, I can't help but feel a profound sense of loss. The vibrant colors and comforting shapes have been replaced by a starkness that embodies a shift away from the warmth of the past. It’s a reminder that change is inevitable, yet some transformations feel like a severing of ties to what we hold dear. Why does it hurt so much to witness this metamorphosis? Perhaps it’s because I see in it a reflection of my own life—how the things I cherished are also fading, replaced by a reality that feels foreign and unwelcoming.

Loneliness creeps in like a shadow, whispering doubts and fears. Am I alone in my sadness? When did the world become a place where the essence of connection is sacrificed at the altar of modernity? The familiar faces and places that once surrounded me, now feel like memories trapped in time, forever unreachable yet hauntingly present.

The new identity of Groupama, with its sleek lines and cutting-edge design, serves as a painful reminder of how quickly things can evolve—leaving us grappling with the remnants of our past. I feel as though I’m watching a story unfold without me, a narrative that no longer includes the warmth of community or the beauty of simplicity.

In a world racing towards the future, I find myself longing for the days when the grass was green, and the sky was filled with possibilities. The unveiling of a new logotype isn’t just about branding; it’s a shift in the very fabric of who we are. And as I navigate this sea of change, I can't shake the feeling that I am but a ghost in a world that has forgotten the value of its roots.

Hey everyone!

Today, let's dive into a topic that’s not just about coding, but about connecting! We're talking about **semantic HTML**. It’s not just a technical skill; it's a way to create web experiences that are truly human-centered!

Imagine a world where our websites are not just a bunch of tags and codes, but rich environments that speak to our users. When we code with semantics in mind, we’re doing more than just building; we’re crafting experiences that resonate, inspire, and engage!

Why is semantic HTML so important, you ask? Well, it’s all about clarity and structure! By using semantic elements like `

`, `

In a world that often seems filled with challenges and disputes, it's essential to focus on the positives and remember the value of strong relationships! I recently came across the insightful thoughts of businessman Wale Jana, who shared some empowering advice for men: "Stay with their wives as long as they are not known for being promiscuous." This statement resonates deeply, especially in the context of the recent public disagreements between Stella Damasus and her ex-husband, Daniel Ademinokan.

Relationships can be complicated, and sometimes it’s easy to get caught up in the drama. However, Wale's perspective reminds us to appreciate our partners for who they truly are, rather than letting external pressures dictate our feelings or actions. It's about loyalty, understanding, and celebrating the love that brought us together in the first place!

Every relationship has its ups and downs, but what makes a bond unbreakable is the commitment to stand by each other through thick and thin. Let's take a moment to reflect on the beauty of partnership. When we find a partner who supports us, who we can trust and love, we should cherish that connection!

Love is a journey, not a destination. It's a beautiful dance of emotions, where patience, kindness, and respect lead us to deeper understanding. Wale’s advice encourages us to focus on the qualities that truly matter. As we navigate through life’s challenges, let’s remind ourselves to choose love and support over speculation and negativity. Every relationship deserves a chance to grow and blossom!

In times of conflict, it's crucial to communicate openly and honestly. Instead of allowing misunderstandings to fester, let’s embrace dialogue. Share your thoughts, feelings, and concerns with your partner, and listen to theirs with an open heart. This creates a foundation of trust and respect, essential elements for any lasting relationship.

Let’s champion positivity and uplift one another! Whether it’s in our personal lives or in how we respond to public figures and their journeys, let’s commit to spreading love and understanding rather than judgment. Together, we can create a more supportive and compassionate world.

So, to all the wonderful individuals out there, remember that your relationships are worth nurturing! Stand by your loved ones, celebrate their strengths, and embrace their flaws. Let’s build a community filled with love, respect, and unwavering support.

In the journey towards B Corp certification, we find ourselves caught in a web of hopes and dreams, yet here I stand, feeling the weight of disappointment and loneliness.

The path we carved out was once filled with excitement and anticipation. Engaging with our community, structuring initiatives that we believed would change the world, and striving for that elusive certification felt like a noble quest. But now, as we reflect on our commitment to sustainability and social responsibility, I am struck by an unsettling silence. Where once there was a chorus of voices cheering us on, I hear only echoes of doubt and uncertainty.

As we prepare for our recertification in 2025, I can't help but feel the shadows creeping in. The bright vision we once held has dimmed, overshadowed by the challenges that seem insurmountable. Each step forward feels like a step back, and the weight of expectations bears down on my heart. The journey has revealed not only our strengths but also our vulnerabilities—each setback a reminder of the fragility of our aspirations.

The community we once felt so connected to now feels distant. I remember the days filled with laughter and collaboration, where every shared idea felt like a spark igniting hope. Now, that connection feels like a fading memory, and I am left wondering if we will ever recapture that sense of belonging. It’s as if the light has gone out, leaving us to wander through the dark, searching for a way back to unity and purpose.

The B Corp certification was supposed to be a beacon guiding us towards a greater good, but instead, it has become a mirror reflecting our struggles, our failures, and our loneliness. This journey, which should have brought us together, has often left me feeling isolated in my resolve. I long for the days when our commitment was met with enthusiasm, not skepticism.

Yet, amidst the sorrow, I hold onto a flicker of hope. Perhaps this moment of reflection is necessary—a chance to regroup, to reignite our passion and to find strength in vulnerability. If we can face these challenges together, perhaps we can emerge stronger and more united than before.

As we navigate this complex landscape, I remind myself that it’s okay to feel lost. It’s okay to grieve the connection we once had. But in this solitude, I also find resilience. I will not give up on our mission to become a certified B Corp, not just for ourselves but for the community we aim to uplift.

Here’s to the journey ahead, to finding our way back to each other, and to embracing the process, no matter how painful it may be.
