Trio of female artists have their say about creating art in San Jose

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:25:02 GMT

Gensler, the architecture and design firm, hosted a panel for Women’s History Month on Thursday at its downtown San Jose office with three female artists who shared their perspectives about the city’s creative landscape.“I remember walking around downtown and there was nothing there, art-wise,” said artist Alyssa Wigant, who grew up in San Jose and has a day job as a product designer for a tech company. She has a vibrant rendition of the city’s dynamic brandmark in a mural on North Third Street and Santa Clara; she also created a mural at PayPal Park and has art reflecting her Filipina heritage on display at SAP Center.“That’s always been a dream of mine. I wanted to create a mural in my hometown.”Thursday’s panel was part of the Spark Collective, an initiative that started during the COVID-19 pandemic to provide locked-down designers a way to connect virtually with their peers.

SAN FRANCISCO — Jordan Poole’s 30-foot 3-pointer in the second quarter of the Warriors’ win on Friday night against the San Antonio Spurs made history.With it, he, Steph Curry and Klay Thompson became the second trio of teammates to each make at least 200 3-pointers in a season. James Harden, Eric Gordon and Ryan Anderson are the only other trio in NBA history to do it during the 2016-17 Houston Rockets season.“It’s pretty special,” Poole said. “Especially being the second team in history to do it. Up there with really big company and we still have a couple games to go. Shoutout to those guys for raising the level of competition, not only in the game but in practice and being around these guys for the four years that I’ve been. I’ve learned a lot and it’s really special to be part of.”The Warriors have hit plenty of 3-point records over the last decade with the Splash Brothers duo at the forefront. Steph Curry holds t...

Chaplains made part of Ukraine’s military as war drags on

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:25:02 GMT

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — To the haunting chants of a church choir in Kyiv’s 11th century Saint Sophia Cathedral, the first group of chaplains to join the Ukrainian military’s command structure graduated in a ceremony Saturday.Although chaplains have ministered to Ukraine’s armed forces for years, they worked as embedded civilians rather than as officers. Now, they will sign contracts to serve in those armed forces, undergo a six-week training program and get inducted.The first group of military chaplains to fall under this new system began training Feb. 20. In their new assignments, they won’t use weapons but are expected to know general military concepts and tactical medicine, Ukrainian authorities said.“We had intense psychological training, military training,” Gennadiy Rohmanenko, who was among the graduates who received the rank of junior lieutenant, said. “It means that we can put together church duty and military duty. The motto of chaplains is ‘Being there,’ God...

After Nashville, Congress confronts limits of new gun law

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:25:02 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — Nine months ago, President Joe Biden signed a sweeping bipartisan gun law, the most significant legislative response to gun violence in decades.“Lives will be saved,” he said at the White House.The law has already prevented some potentially dangerous people from owning guns. Yet since that signing last summer, the tally of mass shootings in the United States has only grown. Five dead at a nightclub in Colorado. Eleven killed at a dance hall in California. And just this past week, three 9-year-olds and three adults were shot and killed at an elementary school in Nashville, Tennessee.A day after that school shooting, Biden’s tone was markedly less optimistic than it was the signing ceremony.“What in God’s name are we doing?” he asked in a speech Tuesday, calling for a ban on so-called assault weapons like those that were used to kill at The Covenant School in Nashville. “There’s a moral price to pay for inaction.”Biden and others had hailed last year’s bipartis...

MANCHESTER, England (AP) — No Erling Haaland, no problem for Manchester City.Even without the Premier League’s leading scorer, Pep Guardiola’s team came from behind to rout Liverpool 4-1 on Saturday and stay in pursuit of first-place Arsenal.Haaland, who has scored 42 goals in all competitions this season, was ruled out of the game at Etihad Stadium after failing to recover from a groin injury.But even after falling behind to a 20th-minute strike from Mohamed Salah, City powered back with goals from Julian Alvarez, Kevin de Bruyne, Ilkay Gundogan and Jack Grealish to keep the pressure on Arsenal and deliver another blow to Liverpool’s Champions League qualification hopes.The game represented one of the biggest remaining tests in City’s league campaign. Defeat would have given Arsenal the chance to extend its lead at the top to 11 points.And that looked like a real possibility when Liverpool scored against the run of play early on, with Diogo Jota bursting past City...
