Olivia Olson scored 18 points, including eight straight to open the fourth quarter, as the No. 23 Michigan Wolverines survived a 60-54 scare from the Northwestern Wildcats in the Big Ten opener for each team in Ann Arbor, Mich. Northwestern (4-4, 0-1 Big Ten) led throughout the third quarter and took a four-point lead into the fourth, but Olson capped her 8-0 burst with a 3-pointer, and Syla Swords also nailed a trey to put the Wolverines (8-1, 1-0) ahead 50-44. Michigan has won eight straight games since opening the season with a six-point loss to then-No. 1 South Carolina. Javascript is required for you to be able to read premium content.

CHICAGO — With a wave of her bangled brown fingertips to the melody of flutes and chimes, artist, theologian and academic Tricia Hersey enchanted a crowd into a dreamlike state of rest at Semicolon Books on North Michigan Avenue. “The systems can’t have you,” Hersey said into the microphone, reading mantras while leading the crowd in a group daydreaming exercise on a recent Tuesday night. The South Side native tackles many of society’s ills — racism, patriarchy, aggressive capitalism and ableism — through an undervalued yet impactful action: rest. Hersey, the founder of a movement called the Nap Ministry, dubs herself the Nap Bishop and spreads her message to over half a million followers on her Instagram account, @thenapministry . Her first book, “Rest Is Resistance: A Manifesto,” became a New York Times bestseller in 2022, but Hersey has been talking about rest online and through her art for nearly a decade. Hersey, who has degrees in public health and divinity, originated the “rest as resistance” and “rest as reparations” frameworks after experimenting with rest as an exhausted graduate student in seminary. Once she started napping, she felt happier and her grades improved. But she also felt more connected to her ancestors; her work was informed by the cultural trauma of slavery that she was studying as an archivist. Hersey described the transformation as “life-changing.” The Nap Ministry began as performance art in 2017, with a small installation where 40 people joined Hersey in a collective nap. Since then, her message has morphed into multiple mediums and forms. Hersey, who now lives in Atlanta, has hosted over 100 collective naps, given lectures and facilitated meditations across the country. She’s even led a rest ritual in the bedroom of Jane Addams , and encourages her followers to dial in at her “Rest Hotline.” At Semicolon, some of those followers and newcomers came out to see Hersey in discussion with journalist Natalie Moore on Hersey’s latest book, “We Will Rest! The Art of Escape,” released this month, and to learn what it means to take a moment to rest in community. Moore recalled a time when she was trying to get ahead of chores on a weeknight. “I was like, ‘If I do this, then I’ll have less to do tomorrow.’ But then I was really tired,” Moore said. “I thought, ‘What would my Nap Bishop say? She would say go lay down.’ Tricia is in my head a lot.” At the event, Al Kelly, 33, of Rogers Park, said some of those seated in the crowd of mostly Black women woke up in tears — possibly because, for the first time, someone permitted them to rest. “It was so emotional and allowed me to think creatively about things that I want to work on and achieve,” Kelly said. Shortly after the program, Juliette Viassy, 33, a program manager who lives in the South Loop and is new to Hersey’s work, said this was her first time meditating after never being able to do it on her own. Therapist Lyndsei Howze, 33, of Printers Row, who was also seated at the book talk, said she recommends Hersey’s work “to everybody who will listen” — from her clients to her own friends. “A lot of mental health conditions come from lack of rest,” she said. “They come from exhaustion.” Before discovering Hersey’s work this spring, Howze said she and her friends sporadically napped together in one friend’s apartment after an exhausting workweek. “It felt so good just to rest in community,” she said. On Hersey’s book tour, she is leading exercises like this across the country. “I think we need to collectively do this,” Hersey explained. “We need to learn again how to daydream because we’ve been told not to do it. I don’t think most people even have a daydreaming practice.” Daydreaming, Hersey said, allows people to imagine a new world. Hersey tells her followers that yes, you can rest, even when your agenda is packed, even between caregiving, commuting, jobs, bills, emails and other daily demands. And you don’t have to do it alone. There is a community of escape artists, she said of the people who opt out of grind and hustle culture, waiting to embrace you. The book is part pocket prayer book, part instruction manual, with art and handmade typography by San Francisco-based artist George McCalman inspired by 19th-century abolitionist pamphlets, urging readers to reclaim their divine right to rest. Hersey directs her readers like an operative with instructions for a classified mission. “Let grind culture know you are not playing around,” she wrote in her book. “This is not a game or time to shrink. Your thriving depends on the art of escape.” The reluctance to rest can be rooted in capitalist culture presenting rest as a reward for productivity instead of a physical and mental necessity. Hersey deconstructs this idea of grind culture, which she says is rooted in the combined effects of white supremacy, patriarchy and capitalism that “look at the body as not human.” American culture encourages grind culture, Hersey said, but slowing down and building a ritual of rest can offset its toxicity. The author eschews the ballooning billion-dollar self-care industry that encourages people to “save enough money and time off from work to fly away to an expensive retreat,” she wrote. Instead, she says rest can happen anywhere you have a place to be comfortable: in nature, on a yoga mat, in the car between shifts, on a cozy couch after work. Resting isn’t just napping either. She praises long showers, sipping warm tea, playing music, praying or numerous other relaxing activities that slow down the body. “We’re in a crisis mode of deep sleep deprivation, deep lack of self-worth, (and) mental health,” said Hersey. According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data from 2022 , in Illinois about 37% of adults aren’t getting the rest they need at night. If ignored, the effects of sleep deprivation can have bigger implications later, Hersey said. In October, she lectured at a sleep conference at Gustavus Adolphus College in Minnesota, where her humanities work was featured alongside research from the world’s top neuroscientists. Jennifer Mundt, a Northwestern clinician and professor of sleep medicine, psychiatry and behavioral sciences, praises Hersey for bringing the issue of sleep and rest to the public. In a Tribune op-ed last year, Mundt argued that our culture focuses too heavily on sleep as something that must be earned rather than a vital aspect of health and that linking sleep to productivity is harmful and stigmatizing. “Linking sleep and productivity is harmful because it overshadows the bevy of other reasons to prioritize sleep as an essential component of health,” Mundt wrote. “It also stigmatizes groups that are affected by sleep disparities and certain chronic sleep disorders.” In a 30-year longitudinal study released in the spring by the New York University School of Social Work, people who worked long hours and late shifts reported the lowest sleep quality and lowest physical and mental functions, and the highest likelihood of reporting poor health and depression at age 50. The study also showed that Black men and women with limited education “were more likely than others to shoulder the harmful links between nonstandard work schedules and sleep and health, worsening their probability of maintaining and nurturing their health as they approach middle adulthood.” The CDC links sleeping fewer than seven hours a day to an increased risk of obesity, diabetes, hypertension, heart disease and more. Although the Nap Ministry movement is new for her followers, Hersey’s written about her family’s practice of prioritizing rest, which informs her work. Her dad was a community organizer, a yardmaster for the Union Pacific Railroad Co. and an assistant pastor. Before long hours of work, he would dedicate hours each day to self-care. Hersey also grew up observing her grandma meditate for 30 minutes daily. Through rest, Hersey said she honors her ancestors who were enslaved and confronts generational trauma. When “Rest Is Resistance” was released in 2022, Americans were navigating a pandemic and conversations on glaring racial disparities. “We Will Rest!” comes on the heels of a historic presidential election where Black women fundraised for Vice President Kamala Harris and registered voters in a dizzying three-month campaign. Following Harris’ defeat, many of those women are finding self-care and preservation even more important. “There are a lot of Black women announcing how exhausted they are,” Moore said. “This could be their entry point to get to know (Hersey’s) work, which is bigger than whatever political wind is blowing right now.” Hersey said Chicagoans can meet kindred spirits in her environment of rest. Haji Healing Salon, a wellness center, and the social justice-focused Free Street Theater are sites where Hersey honed her craft and found community. In the fall, the theater put on “Rest/Reposo,” a performance featuring a community naptime outdoors in McKinley Park and in its Back of the Yards space. Haji is also an apothecary and hosts community healing activities, sound meditations and yoga classes. “It is in Bronzeville; it’s a beautiful space owned by my friend Aya,” Hersey said, explaining how her community has helped her build the Nap Ministry. “When I first started the Nap Ministry, before I was even understanding what it was, she was like, come do your work here.” “We Will Rest!” is a collection of poems, drawings and short passages. In contrast to her first book, Hersey said she leaned more into her artistic background; the art process alone took 18 months to complete. After a tough year for many, she considers it medicine for a “sick and exhausted” world. “It’s its own sacred document,” Hersey said. “It’s something that, if you have it in your library and you have it with you, you may feel more human.” lazu@chicagotribune.comTHUNDER BAY — Elevate NWO is severing its contract with the District of Thunder Bay Social Services Administration Board in order to freely advocate its unhoused clients. "Last week, my staff found the fourth dead body of the year in a homeless encampment," said Holly Gauvin, executive director of Elevate NWO. "This isn't OK anymore," said Gauvin. "So we want answers. We want them from the province." Gauvin sent a letter on Monday to Ontario's housing minister Paul Calandra asking for an audit of vacant social housing units in the Thunder Bay district. Gauvin said she has informed TBDSSAB that Elevate will be terminating their contract at the end of this calendar year. "It is very difficult for us to take money from them while being critical of policies," she said. "We've decided that as an organization, we're going to really pursue advocacy efforts on behalf of our clients because nothing has changed in the five years that we've been doing this." The TBDSSAB has declined to comment on the decision or the statements made by Elevate NWO. Gauvin said her organization doesn't take issue with the local DSSAB office. "Our issue is further upstream. Our issue is with the policy makers, not with the staff that are just doing their job." Her biggest concern is with a lack of investment in social housing. She said she's heard unconfirmed reports that there could be as many as 200 social housing units in the district that are unoccupied and in need of repair. Gauvin wants the province to assess the need and create an action plan for repairs and make it a priority to make housing units available to those living in shelters and encampments. The best that I am able to do is throw a tent around somebody," said Gauvin. "And that is not acceptable as a long term solution." "We need something that's permanent. We need something that is going to actually sustain people and not just be temporary or transitional," said Gauvin. Gauvin said she loves that there are new transitional housing units coming to the city, but that temporary housing isn't enough. "Our question is: transition into what? At some point, we still need affordable housing and it seems that this affordable housing stock is being abandoned." Gauvin also wants the DSSAB to be more accountable to the city. "Our city is staring at the prospect of a rather large bill for a pallet village," said Gauvin. "This is meant to be a temporary solution," she continued. "But for it to be a temporary solution, we need affordable social housing." Elevate NWO had been getting $348,000 a year from the DSSAB. Gauvin said the funding covered materials, not staff. Although there will be some restructuring, she said they will still be able to offer all their services. However, their encampment outreach will be reduced — down to once a week instead of daily — and the resources they can provide will be significantly reduced. "We're talking tents, we're talking food, we're talking winter jackets and boots. Those types of things," said Gauvin. "There will be some, but it'll be a very limited quantity." Elevate NWO has been able to help hundreds with those resources over the years, said Gauvin. "We'll just have to be more creative in the way that we find those resources and support our people." "But at the end of the day, I think that our strategy is a sound one," she said. "We need to fight for housing, not for tents."

And while Bitcoin and Ethereum have paved the way, newer projects like Qubetics, Cardano, and SEI have stolen the spotlight. Each of these has carved its unique niche in the crypto world, offering innovative solutions, robust ecosystems, and jaw-dropping growth potential. So, if you’re wondering about the best cryptos to buy in December 2024 , we’ve got you covered. Let’s dive deep into what makes these three projects stand out and why investors can’t stop talking about them. Meet Qubetics: The Rising Star If you haven’t yet heard about Qubetics, you’re about to have a lightbulb moment. This project’s been on everyone’s radar lately, and for good reason. With its presale now in the 14th stage, Qubetics has already sold over 385 million $TICS tokens to more than 12,400 holders, raking in a whopping $8.1 million. Right now, the price of $TICS is $0.037—but here’s the kicker: it’s set to increase by 10% this weekend. Timing is everything. One of the core innovations setting Qubetics apart is its QUBEQODE IDE , an integrated development environment that’s transforming how businesses and individuals interact with blockchain tech. Think of it as a toolkit for building blockchain solutions—but way more user-friendly and insanely efficient. Picture this: a mid-sized company wants to integrate blockchain for supply chain tracking but doesn’t know where to start. Enter QUBEQODE IDE. With its drag-and-drop features, pre-built smart contract templates, and intuitive interface, the company can launch its blockchain solution in weeks, not months. Freelancers and professionals are also singing its praises. From managing contracts to verifying payments, QUBEQODE simplifies the complicated. Even individuals looking to dip their toes in crypto can use it for straightforward tasks like creating wallets or trading NFTs. For example, Sarah, a freelance graphic designer in Chicago, used QUBEQODE to mint NFTs of her artwork without hiring a developer. Meanwhile, a small bakery in New York used it to set up a rewards program on the blockchain . It’s practical, accessible, and built for real-world applications. If you’re seeking potential gains, analysts are buzzing about Qubetics. By the end of the presale, $TICS could reach $0.25, offering a remarkable 630% return on investment (ROI). Following the presale, projections suggest that $TICS may soar to $1, resulting in an impressive 2820% ROI. The most exciting prediction, however, is a post-mainnet launch price of $15, which would deliver a staggering 43,711% ROI. To illustrate this potential, consider an investment of $5,000 at the current price of $0.0342. By the end of the presale, your investment could grow to $36,500. If $TICS reaches $1, your investment would balloon to $146,000, and at $15, you’d be looking at an astonishing $2.19 million. That’s some serious life-changing potential! Cardano: The Old Guard with a Fresh Take Cardano’s not just another blockchain; it’s a philosophy. Since its launch in 2017, it’s earned a reputation for its methodical, research-first approach. Cardano’s focus on scalability, sustainability, and security has made it a top choice for developers and investors alike. Cardano’s unique proof-of-stake consensus mechanism, Ouroboros, is a game-changer. It’s energy-efficient, fast, and environmentally friendly—a big win in today’s eco-conscious world. Plus, Cardano’s smart contract platform, launched with the Alonzo upgrade, has opened the floodgates for DeFi applications, NFT marketplaces, and more. Take the recent launch of World Mobile, a blockchain-powered telecom company using Cardano. They’re connecting remote African communities to the internet, showing how Cardano’s tech isn’t just theoretical—it’s making a tangible difference. Despite market volatility, Cardano has stayed resilient. It’s known for its strong community, dubbed the Cardano Army, and its ability to roll out meaningful upgrades. In 2024, projects like Mithril—a protocol that improves syncing times for nodes—are pushing Cardano to new heights. While its price may not offer the explosive ROI of Qubetics right now, Cardano’s stability makes it a safer long-term play. Investors looking for a balanced portfolio often pair it with higher-risk projects. SEI: The Speed Demon When speed and efficiency are what you need, SEI is the name to remember. This blockchain has made waves for being the fastest layer-1 solution on the market, clocking in at 22,000 transactions per second. If crypto were a drag race, SEI would be the car leaving everyone in the dust. Built specifically for decentralised finance (DeFi), SEI is a go-to for traders, liquidity providers, and developers. Its order book model allows for lightning-fast transactions, making it ideal for high-frequency trading. Imagine trading tokens with the same speed and efficiency as stocks on Wall Street. That’s SEI. One of SEI’s standout use cases is its integration with gaming. Gamers now have access to blockchain-powered assets that feel seamless, thanks to SEI’s rapid execution. Developers love it because it’s built for scalability without sacrificing performance. SEI’s speed isn’t just a tech flex; it’s a massive business advantage. DeFi projects relying on low-latency trading are flocking to its ecosystem, boosting demand for SEI tokens. While it’s still early days for SEI, its market position as the fastest blockchain is hard to beat. If you’re looking for the best cryptos to buy in December 2024, SEI is worth a closer look. Conclusion: Qubetics Is the One to Watch With crypto markets buzzing, picking the best cryptos to buy in December 2024 can feel like finding a needle in a haystack. But if one thing’s clear, it’s that Qubetics presale is the standout choice. Its QUBEQODE IDE is changing the game, and its presale metrics are off the charts. Combine that with analysts’ sky-high price predictions, and it’s easy to see why investors are jumping on board. Don’t wait. The Qubetics presale is still live, but time’s ticking. Get in now at $0.037 before the price hike this weekend and secure your spot in what could be one of the most profitable crypto plays of the year.

From Adanna Nnamani, Abuja The Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) has refuted recent claims suggesting that its employment practices and leadership appointments are influenced by ethnicity, religion, or political affiliation. This response comes in the wake of an article by Farooq Kperogi, which raised concerns about the impact of ethnicity on the leadership structure of the NNPC. In a statement over the weekend, NNPC’s Chief Corporate Communications Officer, Olufemi Soneye, firmly rejected these assertions, insisting that the company’s decisions are guided by merit, professionalism, and business requirements. Soneye emphasised that the NNPC operates as a professional and meritocratic organisation, where employment, promotions, and appointments are based solely on qualifications, experience, and individual competencies. He assured the public that these processes are free from considerations of ethnicity, religion, or political connections, reflecting the company’s commitment to efficient service delivery. “The NNPC prides itself on being a professional organisation with a diverse leadership lineup that includes individuals from various parts of the world, not just Nigeria. The presence of qualified foreigners in the employ of the NNPC, who have been bolstering the value chain of production and distribution of allied products, is verifiable. “It is, thus, sad that a professor of Mr Kperogi’s standing would resort to and play up the issue of ethnic identities in the configuration of the work team in NNPC just to demonise President Tinubu. This editorial preoccupation of Mr Kperogi is nothing but a sheer red herring, ostensibly orchestrated to detract from the President’s disciplined leadership that upholds the freedom of the NNPC as well as the company’s work ethic that has produced its strings of sterling performances. “Under the leadership of Mele Kyari, the NNPC has achieved remarkable milestones and recorded several ‘firsts’ in the industry. These milestones were not defined, coloured, or contoured by primordial fault lines of tribe and religion. They were inspired by the collective drive for excellence. These achievements include groundbreaking advancements in exploration, production, and global partnerships that were previously thought unattainable. This success is a testament to the company’s focus on competence and professionalism rather than parochialism, as insinuated in the editorial offerings by Mr Kperogi,” Soneye said. The Spokesperson further clarified that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration has not interfered in NNPC’s operations but has instead introduced policies aimed at empowering the company and fostering an environment conducive to growth and innovation. Soneye also extended an open invitation to critics to visit the corporation and witness firsthand the professionalism and dedication that characterise its operations. He emphasised that the focus should be on the tangible results of NNPC’s work, which contributes significantly to Nigeria’s economic development. He reiterated that the NNPC remains committed to fostering unity, embracing diversity, and upholding meritocratic principles, with a continued focus on positioning Nigeria as a global leader in the energy sector.The Tampa Bay Rays have had six of their 2025 regular-season games shifted to the early season due to weather issues from playing outside, Major League Baseball announced Monday.

A new look, same goodness: Malta Guinness reintroduces itself with styleRobinson's 16 help Cleveland State beat Wright State 78-64
Condolences pour in for five crash victimsENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Losses to the Chargers and Bengals with a playoff berth on the line show Sean Payton made a miscalculation when he agreed to flex the Denver Broncos’ Week 16 game to a Thursday night. The NFL needed the Broncos’ approval to replace the Cincinnati-Cleveland game with the Broncos-Chargers game because Denver had already played on a Thursday night on the road. He eagerly agreed to the switch, figuring the team’s fanbase always travels well to SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles and the Broncos would be the more rested team at Cincinnati. But after an emotional comeback win over the Colts, the Broncos (9-7) lost to the Chargers in part because Payton got away from the run even though it helped them score touchdowns on their first three drives — and he had written “Run It!!” in marker on top of his play sheet. And they lost to the Bengals 30-24 in overtime on Saturday after Payton decided against going for 2 and the win when Marvin Mims Jr. hauled in a highlight-reel touchdown grab between two defenders with 8 seconds left in regulation. “We knew a tie for us was just as beneficial as a win,” Payton explained. “We felt like we had the momentum at that point.” RELATED COVERAGE Brock Purdy’s production takes a big drop for the 49ers in a trying season Cardinals’ Trey McBride reaches milestones, but deflection off helmet leads to loss Hunter and Sanders close successful chapter at Colorado despite blowout loss to BYU in Alamo Bowl Holding up two fingers, rookie QB Bo Nix lobbied for the 2-point try to no avail. “We discussed it all. We had plenty of time, plenty of time, plenty of time,” Payton said. “And the decision we made was the right one.” Well ... An extra point assured Joe Burrow would get the ball back, and the Broncos hadn’t forced a single punt all game, something Payton acknowledged afterward that he wasn’t aware of, and they hadn’t stopped the Bengals since twice holding them on fourth down in the first half. They finally forced a punt in overtime, but the Broncos went three-and-out, something they did again after Bengals kicker Cade York doinked a 33-yard field-goal attempt off the left upright on Cincinnati’s second possession. With the Bengals out of timeouts, all the Broncos needed was a first down and they’d be playoff-bound for the first time since 2015, but Bo Nix misfired to tight end Adam Trautman on third-and-long, so the Broncos punted and Burrow led the Bengals (8-8) on their game-winning touchdown drive. “I thought we could move the ball in overtime,” Nix said, “but we didn’t.” The Broncos could render all of it moot with a win in Week 18 against Kansas City with the Chiefs (15-1) expected to rely heavily on backups as they rest up for the playoffs as the AFC’s top seed. But Denver’s defense has been dismal since November, giving up the most yards in the league, and another letdown against the Chiefs would give the Broncos their biggest collapse in two decades. “This is what we do it for — meaningful games here,” Payton said. “I think it’s important that you embrace it, and it is exciting. There’s nothing worse than playing games in the last part of the season where there’s nothing at stake. So I think it’s something we’ll all be excited about.” What’s working Denver’s pass rush. The Broncos sacked Burrow seven times, giving them a league-high 58 for the season. Zach Allen had a career-best 3 1/2 of them and Dondrea Tillman’s sack gives the Broncos six players without at least five sacks this season. What needs help Riley Moss led the Broncos with 14 tackles but he had a tough return to action after missing a month with a sprained MCL. Burrow targeted him over and over, including on the game-winning touchdown throw to Tee Higgins, who caught three TD passes. “Riley could have been healthy for the last eight weeks. Whoever’s opposite Pat, they’re going to go that direction, right?” Payton said. (Higgins) is a good player. A real good player. It wasn’t anything that we didn’t expect. In other words, that happens when you’re teammates with Pat.” Stock up WR Marvin Mims Jr. had a breakout performance with eight catches for 103 yards and two fourth-quarter touchdowns, a 51-yarder and the 25-yard catch on fourth down in the closing seconds while sandwiched between two veteran defenders. Stock down Denver’s defense. Even with Moss back, which allowed DC Vance Joseph to go back to relying more on man coverage, the Broncos defense continued to struggle since the calendar turned to December. Injuries The Broncos came out healthy although superstar CB Patrick Surtain II was limping on the game’s final snaps. Key number 5 — Number of NFL rookie QBs to throw for at least 3,000 yards and 25 touchdowns with Nix joining Justin Herbert, Baker Mayfield, Russell Wilson and Peyton Manning. What’s next It’s all or nothing next week when a win over the Chiefs would send Denver to the playoffs. ___ AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/NFL
