Ha estat un molt bon cap de setmana de Carnaval. Fins i tot, el divendres les colles van fer tot el possible per a complir amb els compromisos, malgrat la pluja, i la rua d'antes va sortir empesa per la voluntat de la gentada que esperava, tot i que la comissió es va plantejar suspendre-la. Amb el president de la comissió de Carnaval, Carles Garcia, hem valorat els diferents actes i canvis de tot el cap de setmana, però, en resum, poques coses caldrà polir de cara a dimarts. L'entrada Carles Garcia fa un molt bon balanç del cap de setmana de Carnaval ha aparegut primer a Radio Maricel.

Should Riot Games remove franchising from League of Legends? In this episode of The Four Horsemen, Monte, Thorin, Richard Lewis, and Guest Horseman/esports attorney Harris Peskin break down why franchising was created, what the teams actually demanded from Riot, how Overwatch League accelerated the timeline, and why dissolving franchising today would be far more complicated—and far more damaging—than many fans realize. We also cover the recent 2XKO news and the flawed arguments in The Wooloo article calling for franchising to be removed. NOTE: The opening line of this episode was re-recorded due to an error.

Amb Edu Arnal, especialista en arbres, analitzem el perquè de la caiguda d'una palmera aquest matí a la Fragata. Les fortes ratxes de vent és l'explicació primera, i la fàcil, però no és només això, de fet el vent no n'és l'únic causant d'aquest desenllaç sinó que té a veure amb una peculiaritat d'aquestes palmeres que tendeixen a estrènyer i endurir part del tronc en períodes de sequera com els viscuts els darrers anys fet que els treu després flexibilitat.

Esports 2026 - Meet the Team
Va rebre el Premi Talent Femení dona enginyera 2025 per la seva tasca destacada com a directora de l'Escola Politècnica Superior d'Enginyeria de Vilanova i la Geltrú des del 2020. El seu vincle però amb la docència és molt anterior i de fet fins i tot vocacional. Marisa Zaragozá defineix l'enginyeria com una manera de millorar el món i treballa fort per augmentar la presència de dones en els estudis que ofereix la universitat que encara tenen una presència minoritària. Parlem de dones i ciència i de lideratge femení amb la directora de l'UPC de Vilanova i amb Montse Balada, vicepresidenta de Talent en femení. L'entrada Talent i més: dones de ciències i directives amb Marisa Zaragozá, directora de l’UPC de Vilanova ha aparegut primer a Radio Maricel.
Vet aquí la història d'unes imatges que s'han fet virals a través dels mitjans, en les quals apareix -suposadament, o no- un Antoni Gaudí a les seves velleses. La filmació correspon al casament de la parella formada per Carmen Artigas i Antoni Costa, que va tenir lloc a l'església de la Concepció de Barcelona el 17 de juny del 1922. Beli Artigas -amb permís dels descendents, que sempre han cregut en el testimoni de familiars que ho certifiquen però els agradaria corroborar-ho- ha publicat la filmació al seu perfil de twitter i, a la vegada, un dels perfils de referència a la xarxa, 'Efemerides d'arquitectura', ho ha repiulat en un interessantissim fil que assegura que l'home de la imatge és Gaudí, i que a la vegada desgrana tots i cadascun dels exemples gràfics que els darrers anys han portat controvèrsia sobre aquest assumpte. El vincle sitgetà de la història és que, acabada la guerra, la parella Artigas-Costa construí la seva casa al passeig de la Ribera -a l'alçada dels números 58-59- i allí hi va viure durant molts anys. El pare de Carmen, un industrial de la Pobla de Lillet, va conèixer Gaudí arran d'una curta estada de l'arquitecte a la casa familiar del municipi berguedà, i aleshores li encarregà el disseny del jardí de la finca. Amb Beli Artigas, que segueix mostrant prudència davant les imatges, parlem d'aquesta interessant història que afegeix debat a les moltes converses de l'any Gaudí. L'entrada És Antoni Gaudí? La interessant història de la filmació que s’ha fet viral aquests dies, i que té un vincle amb Sitges. En parlem amb Beli Artigas ha aparegut primer a Radio Maricel.
No queden entrades ni per les funcions de dijous gras i dissabte de Carnaval ni tampoc per les de les repeticions dels dies 20 i 21 de febrer. El Prado acollirà un any més, i ja van quinze amb la Marina Albadalejo com a directora, aquest espectacle de revista que tot i mantenir essència cada any és diferent. El fil argumental del 2026 és el retorn en creuer a Sitges de la companyia artística després d'uns anys triomfant a Broadway. Al llarg de prop d'una hora i mitja quaranta artistes amateurs de Sitges desfilaran pel teatre amb el suport indispensable de tot el grup d'escenografia que lidera Àngel Lorenzo. Un any més parlem del Carrusel, l'espectacle més sitgetà del Carnaval. L'entrada El Carrusel torna a casa amb totes les entrades exhaurides ha aparegut primer a Radio Maricel.

I ha de ser una solució provisional en espera de la definitiva, i trobar la clau per a la solució definitiva continua essent un veritable coll d'ampolla. La regidora de platges, Carme Gasulla, reconeix que la delegació de costes a Catalunya continua mantenint el criteri de deconstruir el litoral. O sia, d'aplicar -si fa no fa- la mateixa solució que s'aplicà el 1998 quan l'Ajuntament aleshores no va poder fer canviar d'opinió el ministeri a l'hora de reconstruir el parterre del passeig que va ensorrar el temporal del novembre de 1997. Però Gasulla creu que, a diferència de la delegació de costes, avui el ministeri sembla més obert a poder considerar la necessitat de protegir un bé patrimonial com és aquesta obra centenària. En qualsevol cas, ara l'actuació més immediata l'assumirà l'Ajuntament -amb permís de la Generalitat i de l'estat- però no podrà començar a instal·lar aquesta escollera fins que la força del mar comenci a minvar de debò. A la llista de destrosses també hi ha els equipaments de la platja de la Bassa Rodona, on s'ha descalçat l'escala d'accés a la platja i altres plataformes properes a l'aigua, i la platja Sant Sebastià, que també ha estat prou castigada les darreres setmanes.

La Marta també ens ha repassat les xifres de les biblioteques sitgetanes del 2025, entre les que destaquen els 77.000 documents prestats, o els 800 carnets nous.

From Historic Roots to Modern Mission The Youth Development Center has found its new home in the heart of Winchester, and Executive Director Sarah Fishel couldn't be more excited about what this means for the community. Speaking with host Janet Michael on The Valley Today, Sarah traced the organization's journey from its 1990 founding to its March 2025 relocation to 302 South Loudoun Street, right off the walking mall. The YDC's story began with a simple yet powerful vision: community leaders and business people wanted to create a space where children could grow, learn, and experience opportunities they wouldn't otherwise have. Tom and Sheila Baker donated their home to launch the initiative, and the organization quickly became a Winchester institution. By January 1996, the YDC was hosting its first high school dance—a tradition many locals still remember fondly. A Building with History, A Vision for the Future The new downtown location brings its own rich history to the table. Previously home to YHB accounting firm, a downtown athletic club, and even a funeral home, the building features remnants of its past, including two racquetball courts that delighted visitors during the recent Preservation of Historic Winchester holiday house tour. Sarah notes that this historical connection helps parents feel more comfortable bringing their children to explore what the YDC offers today. Moreover, the location itself proves ideal for accessibility. Families can walk to the center, catch the bus, or use the spacious parking lot for drop-offs. This strategic positioning in downtown Winchester removes transportation barriers that might otherwise prevent children from participating in programs. Addressing Today's Challenges Sarah identifies a critical shift in the challenges facing today's youth compared to previous generations. While Janet recalls her own childhood spent "riding the strip" with nowhere to go, today's children face a different problem: they're glued to their screens. Furthermore, Sarah points out that many children, particularly "COVID babies," missed crucial developmental windows for learning basic social skills like making eye contact, smiling at strangers, and engaging in face-to-face conversation. The YDC aims to fill this gap by creating an environment where children can practice these essential life skills. Sarah emphasizes that the center wants to be "a place where kids can come in, learn a little bit, but have some fun and just create the relationships that maybe were easier for all of us, pre-COVID or pre-iPhone." Programs That Make a Difference Read Start: Building Confidence Through Literacy The YDC's Read Start program tackles one of Winchester's most pressing educational challenges: children reading significantly below grade level. Led by Shenandoah University student Rowan Lippy, the program goes beyond traditional reading instruction by incorporating movement and energy to keep kids engaged. Sarah emphasizes the connection between reading ability and confidence, noting she can't imagine sitting in a classroom unable to read alongside peers. The program costs $10 per class, though scholarships ensure no child is turned away due to financial constraints. Saturday Art Classes: Creativity Without Judgment Every Saturday, program coordinator Lindsay Browning leads free art classes that teach children more than just painting techniques. The sessions encourage kids to embrace their feelings, follow directions while making them their own, and most importantly, create without fear of judgment. Janet highlights how art education teaches children not to judge others—a crucial skill in today's divided world. Sarah shares a touching story about a young student who drew her a stick figure tutorial after she joked about her own artistic limitations, demonstrating how the program fosters problem-solving and kindness. Financial Literacy: Real Money in a Digital World Starting March 4th, United Bank will teach "The Money Playbook," a financial literacy course that addresses a skill often overlooked in traditional education. Pete Warren and his team from United Bank, named the YDC as their premier community partner, will incorporate games and interactive elements to make financial concepts accessible to young minds. Both Sarah and Janet acknowledge the challenge of teaching financial responsibility in an era of Apple Pay and Venmo, where money doesn't feel tangible. The course aims to help children understand that digital transactions represent real money leaving their accounts—a lesson that will serve them throughout their lives. Midday at the YDC: Homeschool and Beyond Launched on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10 AM to 1 PM, this program welcomes homeschool families and anyone else who wants to use the YDC's resources during the day. For just $5 (free the first Tuesday of each month), children can access game rooms, art supplies, reading rooms, and even an eSports room. When Women Lead: Amplifying Voices In March, Sarah will launch a speaker series close to her heart: When Women Lead. Every Wednesday from 6 to 7 PM, panels of accomplished Winchester women will discuss different aspects of female leadership. The series kicks off March 4th with "The Path to the Table," featuring Lauren Clouse, Blair Jewell, Adrienne Patrick, and Karis Frey. Subsequent weeks explore "Leadership in Motion" (March 11th), "Building What Lasts" (March 18th), and "Shaping What's Next" (March 25th). Each panel brings together women from diverse professional backgrounds—teachers, healthcare leaders, city officials, and business executives. While geared toward women, Sarah stresses that men are equally welcome. In fact, she hopes to see mothers bringing their teenage sons, recognizing that change happens when everyone participates in these conversations. The Power of Partnership Throughout the conversation, Sarah repeatedly returns to one theme: Winchester's remarkable spirit of collaboration. United Bank doesn't just donate money—they send staff to teach financial literacy. Shenandoah University doesn't just support from afar—they send students and professors to lead programs. Local businesses and civic groups consistently step forward with resources and expertise. Sarah admits she rarely needs to ask for help because community members proactively reach out, asking how they can contribute. This culture of giving back, which Sarah learned from her mother during 36 years at Valley Health, continues to drive the YDC's success. Looking Ahead As the YDC approaches its one-year anniversary in the new location, Sarah's goals remain ambitious yet grounded. The organization plans to revamp its afterschool program, bring back the mentorship initiative, and reimagine Summerfest and Winterfest to meet kids where they are today—not ten steps ahead or behind. Sarah's philosophy centers on trial and error: "Why not try something? If it doesn't work, then we know. We'll move on to the next thing." This willingness to experiment, combined with deep listening to parents, educators, and community stakeholders, positions the YDC to remain relevant and responsive. A Community Investment Ultimately, Sarah views the YDC as more than a youth center—it's an investment in Winchester's future. "Winchester only stays the great place that we all love if we bolster the younger generation," she explains. By providing spaces where children can discover their passions, build confidence, and develop essential life skills, the YDC ensures that the next generation will continue making Winchester a community worth celebrating. For those interested in learning more or getting involved, visit myydc.org or follow the organization on Facebook and Instagram. Whether you're a parent looking for programs, a professional willing to share expertise, or simply someone who believes in investing in youth, the YDC welcomes you to be part of Winchester's ongoing story.

Check out host Bidemi Ologunde's new show: The Work Ethic Podcast, available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.In this episode, host Bidemi Ologunde discusses the global disruption rocking the video game industry, connecting the headlines (layoffs, studio closures, and delayed releases) to the deeper structural shifts (rising development costs, investor pressure, market saturation, and the evolution of monetization from premium sales to live services and in-game purchases). Why did so many companies cut jobs even as blockbuster games kept shipping? Is the "games-as-a-service" model reaching a breaking point, or just entering a tougher, more sustainable phase? What happens when thousands of new titles flood digital storefronts every year, and attention becomes the scarcest resource? And as mobile, AAA, indie, and esports collide in the same attention economy, who is best positioned to survive, and what does the next era of gaming look like for creators, players, and investors?Email: bidemiologunde@gmail.comSupport the show

What if the people we overlook in church are the ones God calls indispensable? What if disability isn't a barrier to ministry, but a doorway to rediscovering the heart of Christ? Inclusion isn't just about access—it's about transformation. In a world shaped by ability and performance, the church has a chance to lead differently. This episode explores how embracing those with disabilities can reshape our communities, renew our mission, and reveal the true nature of the gospel. Our guest today is Russ Ewell. Russ is an author, minister, and social entrepreneur, as well as the lead pastor of Bay Area Christian Church. As a father to sons with Autism and Down Syndrome, he has found purpose in overcoming human limits through family, faith, and technology. As CEO of Digital Scribbler and founder of Hope Technology Group, E-Sports, and Deep Spirituality, he has created tools and communities that empower the silenced and marginalized. His work in AAC tech, inclusive sports, and spiritual leadership has earned a Jefferson Award and Congressional Citation. He inspires transformative thinking, leadership, and a personal, powerful relationship with God. Please send us your feedback and questions to: podcast@summit.org
