Zhouzhi – Manifestare la fede grata nel Signore in gesti concreti di carità ecclesiale. Con questo spirito e con questo desiderio i cattolici di Pushanghui, nella diocesi di Zhouzhi , hanno restaurato con le proprie mani e a proprie spese la loro chiesa parrocchiale in 63 giorni, restituendo splendore alla casa di Dio. I parrocchiani giovani, adulti e anche gli anziani, guidati dal sacerdote Ma Junxiao – riferisce il sito di informazione ecclesiale xinde.org - hanno offerto il loro contributo volontario di tempo e energie per realizzare il restauro in maniera comunitaria. Alcuni, per por mano all'opera, hanno messo da parte i loro impegni di lavoro; altri hanno donato materiali da costruzione, altri ancora sono rimasti presso il cantiere per fare le guardie notturne. Altri parrocchiani e parrocchiane hanno preparato i pasti e offerto assistenza logistica. Dalla preparazione dei materiali alla costruzione in loco, ogni fase ha manifestato la dedizione dei parrocchiani e la comunione che unisce tutta la comunità. Nella cornice dell’opera di restauro della propria chiesa realizzata come occasione e testimonianza di comunione, il 4 febbraio i parrocchiani hanno anche festeggiato i 30 anni di ordinazione sacerdotale di don Ma Junxiao, sacerdote benvoluto da tutti per la sua sollecitudine di pastore di anime e per il suo impeto missionario.

La cantante se toma muy en serio este tipo de rodajes para evitar filtraciones a la prensa y los fans de su música Taylor Swift hace historia al entrar en el Salón de la Fama de los Compositores: ¿qué otros artistas forman parte de la organización? artistas más relevantes de la industria musical? ¿Y si el videoclip que se está grabando pertenece a una canción que nadie conoce porque el álbum todavía no se ha publicado? La respuesta la tiene Taylor Swift y su forma tan peculiar de filmar algunos de sus vídeos musicales. Para evitar que sus canciones se filtren y lleguen a los oídos de todos antes de la fecha oficial de lanzamiento, la intérprete de Blank Space toma serias medidas en el estudio de grabación. Nadie puede escuchar la canción antes de tiempo. Ni siquiera los bailarines, técnicos y equipo de producción que participan en el rodaje. Así lo confirmó el diario The Sun el verano pasado, cuando contó en exclusiva que la cantante estaba grabando un videoclip secreto en Los Ángeles y compartió la forma en la que este se había rodado. “El vídeo era tan secreto que a los que trabajaban en el set ni siquiera se les permitió escuchar la canción, solo el ritmo”, señaló el medio inglés entonces. Esto era algo sobre lo que se especulaba desde hacía tiempo. Los rumores surgieron después de que la artista compartiera el detrás de cámaras del videoclip de ME!, canción de su álbum Lover. Las imágenes de aquel rodaje mostraban a la artista y al equipo de bailarines en silencio, utilizando únicamente un metrónomo para poder guiarse en el ritmo real de la canción.  The Life of a Showgirl, ha encontrado para evitar que cualquier persona que trabaje con ella pueda grabar sus canciones con su teléfono y filtrarlas más tarde tanto a la prensa como a los seguidores de la cantante.  Su aparición en ‘The Graham Norton Show’ Pero la obsesión de la compositora estadounidense con esto de las filtraciones no solo está patente en los rodajes de sus videoclips, sino también en sus apariciones en programas de televisión. El caso más reciente lo encontramos en The Graham Norton Show, programa que Swift visitó para promocionar The Life of a Showgirl. El problema es que la grabación del show se hizo días antes de que su disco estuviera disponible en plataformas, lo que obligó a los participantes a aparentar que estaban escuchando el nuevo sencillo de Swift cuando realmente lo que había en el plató era silencio. obviamente no podían reproducirlo porque aún no había salido y no querían que se filtrara a ningún lado”, compartió una chica que estuvo como público en su perfil de TikTok.

Sign up for Chalkbeat Indiana’s free daily newsletter to keep up with Indianapolis Public Schools, Marion County’s township districts, and statewide education news. The Purdue Polytechnic High School board of directors will close the charter network’s South Bend location amid financial challenges while it focuses on the long-term stability of its two remaining Indianapolis campuses. The decision comes amid declining enrollment at both its South Bend and Broad Ripple campuses that could signal a broader enrollment challenge for both traditional public and charter schools. The South Bend location served 112 students this year, according to state enrollment records. PPHS declined an interview through a public relations professional and did not answer specific questions about the South Bend closure. And it’s unclear if the network still has plans for a third Indianapolis location as previously planned. In June, OEI issued a notice of deficiency for the network’s two Indianapolis campuses that cited concerns over financial reporting and missed enrollment targets at the Broad Ripple campus. But in a statement last week, OEI Executive Director Shaina Cavazos said the school is well-positioned to build strong fiscal health based on recent performance and enrollment trends. “Throughout my communication with the board and school leadership, it has been clear the focus remains on building strong fiscal health for the Indianapolis schools,” Cavazos said. In South Bend, a partnership with the Career Academy Network of Public Schools — another charter network with four schools in South Bend — allows PPHS South Bend students to be offered priority enrollment at Career Academy schools next school year, the network said in a press release. South Bend staff members will also be able to interview for open positions at Career Academy locations. Fast growth in first campus sparks quick launch of two others PPHS launched in Indianapolis in 2017 with the support of former Governor and then-Purdue University President Mitch Daniels. The high school model focuses on science, technology, engineering, and math with a goal of increasing the number of historically underserved students of color attending Purdue University. The network’s first location in the east side area of Englewood, approved by the mayor’s Office of Education Innovation, grew by one grade each year and has since seen year-over-year enrollment growth with 617 students this year, according to state enrollment records. The network launched two other locations in quick succession. In 2019-20, PPHS North, also approved by OEI, opened with 64 students and later moved into Broad Ripple Middle School through a partnership with Indianapolis Public Schools. The next year, PPHS opened its South Bend campus. But both of those locations have been losing students in recent years. In Broad Ripple, enrollment has dropped from its high of 283 in 2022-23 to 220 this school year, well below the maximum 600 threshold that the school pitched to the mayor’s office in its application. In South Bend, enrollment peaked in 2023-24 at 154 and now sits at 112. In its application to the Indiana Charter School Board — which authorized the South Bend campus — it planned for a capacity of 500. Another charter authorizer, Education One at Trine University, approved PPHS to open a third high school in Indianapolis in 2023. That opening date has been repeatedly delayed. The school’s spokesperson did not answer a question on whether it would still open that campus. Education One executive director Emily Gaskill said in an email that the school was approved but a charter agreement was never executed. If a charter is not executed for a school, then the school would need to reapply, she said. Focusing on the network’s Indianapolis schools will strengthen the Purdue brand in Indianapolis, a spokesperson for PPHS said. Purdue University is expanding its presence in the city with the creation of Purdue University Indianapolis, which launched in 2024 after Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis split into two schools.
