The poster can be seen on hundreds of billboards and billboards in almost fifty municipalities throughout Spain The Catholic Association of Propagandists has launched a new campaign this year with the slogan “Are women born or made?” The campaign starts with a question to invite reflection on a highly sensitive issue in our society and which fully compromises the dignity of women philosophical and even economic implications The campaign contrasts and underlines the dilemma put forward in 1949 by the historic feminist figure Simone de Beauvoir – “One is not born a woman: one becomes one” – to emphasise the fact that although the feelings and decisions of the individual can influence their life the nature of reality cannot be altered at the whim of the subject philosophical fashions or activist praxis claim so it seeks to put on the table the importance of giving voice to experts who can enrich the whole of the Spanish population with their formed vision while alluding to the more than worrying censorship attempts of those who seek to impose a single vision on the reality of female nature and on the occasion of the claims around 8-M the Catholic Association of Propagandists addresses the question of the nature of women from the anthropological premises that are legitimately proposed by the Magisterium of the Catholic Church always for the good of the person and society but uses the black and purple tones typical of the feminist movement and can be seen on hundreds of bus shelters and billboards in 44 municipalities throughout Spain such as Seville the municipalities throughout Spain where the campaign can be seen are: Santander Villanueva del Pardillo and Villaviciosa de Odón The Catholic Association of Propagandists (ACdP) is a group of lay faithful united in their vocation to evangelize public life the members of the ACdP have actively participated in society working to make the message of Jesus Christ and the Church present in all areas Reflection by Bishop Enrique Díaz: I will praise you Paris Marks 400th Anniversary of the Congregation of the Mission Reflection by Bishop Enrique Díaz: The Lord’s mercy is eternal Tweets by Pontifex 2025-05-05T07:41:43-07:00May 5 2025-05-02T09:39:58-07:00May 2 2025-05-02T08:40:53-07:00May 2 2025-05-04T09:32:06-07:00April 30 2025-04-30T17:06:48-07:00April 30 Built for he painter Gordillo s exclusively residential use this house in the Madrid area follows the basic concept of an elemental box using conventional layout and composition schemes while it was the program’s dialogue with the landscape and topography that generated the particularities of the final proposal Among the objectives was to come up with a cost-effective building as well as to avoid the heavy-set effect of traditional construction without sacrificing the compactness of the spaces and their domestic attributes To meet these criteria the architects opted for a type of light construction that is normally associated with non-residential programs but which proves very effective on account of its geometrical rigor The extensive recourse to catalog items made it possible to meet the cost- and labor-saving requirements while the care that went into the design of the section and openings was an essential factor leading to the building's good thermal constructive and thus also maintenance conditions The program is organized within a volume that forms terraces from the lower level of the access court all the way up to the roof in such a way that every level chooses its views and degree of contact with the surroundings where the greater part of the program is concentrated opens on completely to the grove around it whereas the upper story and roof terrace are oriented in terms of the magnificent views to the west The main feature of the ground floor is the large double-height living room taking up one corner The stairs behind the bookcase forming a partition lead to a second-story open space and this acts at once as an extension of the communal space and as a corridor to the bedrooms It is connected to the house’s first terrace where differentiated floorings distinguish stationary from transit areas The corridor also features a small staircase leading up to the roof terrace The blind panels above the plinth of exposed concrete containing the garage are sheathed with Robertson reflecting metal sheets, arranged in continuous vertical bands.

You scored the winning goal in the Champions League final. You've been hailed as the world's best all-round midfielder. And you won the UEFA Nations League over the summer cementing your status as your country's most important player With any other player, you might worry about all that success going to their head or causing some degree of complacency. But that's just not been true of Rodri Hernandez the 27-year-old has taken every giant step forward in stride - Stream on ESPN+: LaLiga, Bundesliga, more (U.S.) Rodri's first club was Villanueva de la Canada, a small commuter town with a population of just under 23,000 to the west of Madrid. He went on to play for Rayo Majadahonda's under-11s and under-12s -- making friends with Lucas and Theo Hernandez, now of Paris Saint-Germain and AC Milan, respectively -- before joining Atletico Madrid Rodri has played a pivotal role in Manchester City's success providing defensive cover as well as decisive goals. (Photo by Shaun Botterill/Getty Images)"I saw him for the first time with Atletico's Infantil [under 14s]," the team's then-coach but you could see he was a boy who had vision and intelligence He was one of the smartest players at Atletico Madrid's academy He was already able to read the game in a way that wasn't normal for players of his age "He already looked like he was going to be a professional but [Rodri] had something which wasn't common: his vision Yet not everybody was convinced. For a central midfielder, Rodri wasn't considered tall or strong enough. After experimenting with changes to his position, Atletico let him go and Villarreal -- known for having one of the best academies and youth scouting networks in Spain -- took advantage. By 2016, at age 19, Rodri had made his LaLiga debut starting 36 league games for Villarreal in 2017-18 But Rodri remained committed to other pursuits: when he made his national team debut, coming off the bench in Spain's 1-1 draw with Germany in March 2018 he was still combining football with a university education "The student environment helps me a lot," Rodri told La Razon explaining his decision to continue living in student accommodations while playing in LaLiga By this stage, every big club was taking notice. Barcelona -- already on the lookout for a future Busquets successor -- were keen rectifying their earlier mistake with a €20 million move in July 2018 "His move to Villarreal was a step forward," Elena tells ESPN I was [already] convinced that he was going to be one of the best midfielders in the world He comes from a family who showed him what hard work is He understood fast what this profession is all about and that's what got him where he is today." Atletico manager Diego Simeone loved Rodri. In his one season as part of the Atletico first team, only two outfield players -- Antoine Griezmann and Saul Niguez -- played more minutes. Only captain Koke had more touches Atletico had set Rodri's release clause at a high and the chance to learn from Guardiola was too good to resist In 12 months, Rodri had gone from Villarreal, to Atletico, to City, becoming the Premier League club's record signing in the process Rodri was released from Atletico Madrid's youth academy, only for them to re-sign him in 2018, where he spent a year before signing for Manchester City in 2019. David S. Bustamante/Soccrates/Getty Images"[Simeone and Guardiola] are two different points of view, two different ways of working," Rodri told Marca in 2019 "I think [Guardiola] saw in Rodri something of what Pep was And [Rodri] learnt a lot from Simeone in terms of his defensive work Those were two fundamental pillars in the development of Rodri as a player." his reputation and profile growing year by year No outfield player featured more for City in the Premier League last season Watch his highlight reel from 2022-23 and you see a complete player: short- and long-range passing, perfectly-timed tackles, winning headers in the six-yard box and scoring from distance. Rodri even got to try out at centre-back, parachuted into the position as a quick fix by then-Spain coach Luis Enrique for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar "I studied intensively to clarify some concepts in a short space of time," Rodri told La Vanguardia. "I did it on my own. [I looked at] footage of [Gerard] Pique and Sergio Ramos It was important to take in as much as possible." And of course, the season ended at Istanbul's Ataturk Stadium, scoring the biggest goal in Manchester City's history to earn a 1-0 win over Inter Milan in the Champions League final in June. City have made winning an annual habit, but following that euphoric high won't be easy. With captain Ilkay Gundogan leaving for Barcelona Rodri will be expected to help fill the leadership vacuum His mentality -- unchanged all these years later -- is what City need we were playing in a tournament in Barcelona," Elena tells ESPN when asked if one memory sums up Rodri the player and person He was really unhappy and upset in the dressing room "There's a difference between playing football and being a footballer A footballer gets angry when things don't go their way that showed me he was going to be a professional."

evidence of water on the dwarf planet Ceres in the form of vapor plumes erupting into space possibly from volcano-like ice geysers on its surface Using European Space Agency's Herschel Space Observatory, scientists detected water vapor escaping from two regions on Ceres a dwarf planet that is also the largest asteroid in the solar system The water is likely erupting from icy volcanoes or sublimation of ice into clouds of vapor The research has implications for how Ceres formed and supports models that suggest the planets moved around a lot within the solar system during its formation Ceres, a dwarf planet or giant asteroid (depending on the definition used) is the largest object in the asteroid belt orbiting at 2.8 astronomical units (the distance from Earth to the sun) The "snowline" is thought to partition the solar system into dry objects inside the asteroid belt and icy objects such as comets further out But the finding of water on Ceres suggests more mixing has occurred Scientists have suspected that there is a substantial amount of water on Ceres for about 30 years A study found hints of water in the form of hydroxide but the finding wasn't confirmed by later observations Küppers and his colleagues have confirmed the finding The researchers used the Herschel Space Observatory's spectrometer to look for signals of water Clouds of water vapor around Ceres absorbed the heat that radiates from the dwarf planet The team found that Ceres produces about 2×10^26 molecules of water vapor per second from its surface One possible source of the water is icy volcanism "It is like volcanism in that hot material from the interior is 'spat out' to the surface," Küppers said — much like a geyser But these icy volcanoes eject water vapor instead of molten rock Another possibility is that ice near the surface of Ceres sublimes dragging with it dust from the surface and exposing more ice "I personally consider cometary-style sublimation the most likely source because I find it difficult to maintain the internal heat over the age of the solar system to maintain volcanoes," Küppers said but he added that more studies were needed a baked world whose surface is covered with volcanic eruptions "One of the most puzzling questions about the origin and evolution of asteroids is why Vesta and Ceres are so different," astrophysicists Humberto Campins and Christine Comfort at the University of Central Florida in Orlando wrote in an article in the same issue of Nature so when Ceres formed 4.6 billion years ago sublimation of water ice might have dissipated much of its heat into space "This would have stopped Ceres from ending up with an igneous surface like that of Vesta." Detecting water on Ceres supports models of the solar system in which giant planets mixing material from the outer and inner regions of the solar system This mixing could have moved Ceres and Vesta far from the sites where they formed Ceres probably formed close to its current position The findings also suggest that asteroids may have delivered some of the water in Earth's oceans Join our Space Forums to keep talking space on the latest missions, night sky and more!

I don’t understand going to play without a goal, beyond conditioning the body,” he replies amused because he remembers that during his career he has been “more of a competitor than a winner, I like to compete, fight, than to win easily, the challenge,” An athlete’s journey is constant learning, and Rafa knows that very well. Now, over 4 months retired, his wisdom still echoes.
