The basketball star from Hamilton was locked in as starter for a team in the semifinals. She’d been selected as an all-star just two years prior. But in one awkward fall three years ago, she was plunged into the depths of surgery and rehab. Nurse would miss the entire 2022 season due to the injury. She signed with the Seattle Storm for the 2023 campaign before a trade landed her with the Los Angeles Sparks last season. Meanwhile, Nurse represented Canada at the Paris Olympics in August, but she struggled as the team failed to reach the knockout round for the second straight time. The common thread throughout Nurse’s recent basketball journey? She just hasn’t quite felt like herself. “I still love basketball with all of my heart, and it's my favourite thing that I get to do. And I'm so privileged to be able to say that I get to do it as a job,” Nurse said. "But the last two years for me have been just really rocky, up and down.” Nurse, 28, will become a WNBA free agent as of Feb. 1. For now, she’s continuing her Raptors broadcast work with TSN and, on Monday, announced a new playing gig. In February, Nurse will join fellow WNBAers Alysha Clark and Sydney Colson among 37 others for Athletes Unlimited’s third basketball season in Nashville. Athletes Unlimited was founded as a women’s professional softball league in 2020 before expanding to basketball, volleyball and lacrosse. Its 24-game hoops campaign switches teams weekly and concludes by crowning a season-long individual champion. Players earn points through a fantasy-style system that rewards team successes like wins as well as individual accomplishments from made three-pointers to steals to drawn fouls. Outside of the unique scoring system, the game looks like traditional basketball — a major appeal to Nurse as she attempts to tap back into her roots. “I am not proud of my performance at the Olympics and not necessarily proud of how I’ve been playing over the last two years. I just have goals of finding my true love of the game and kind of coming back and being stronger physically, being more fit and just ultimately having a good year,” Nurse said. When Nurse’s career began in 2018, many WNBA players would ply their trade overseas during the off-season as a way of staying in shape and making additional money. But over the past half-decade — and perhaps expedited by Brittney Griner’s 2022 detainment in Russia — more options have emerged stateside, including Athletes Unlimited. “The (WNBA) now has a lot of the teams that have practice facilities, so they have full-time player development, practice-facility access and that's a big piece as well. But now ultimately we have these leagues at home like AU,” Nurse said. Athletes Unlimited will not be the only professional women’s basketball operation in North America this winter. A three-on-three league called Unrivaled, founded by WNBA stars Napheesa Collier and Breanna Stewart, will tip off in January in Miami. Nurse said Unrivaled was an option for her, but she preferred Athletes Unlimited. “I wanted a place where I'm happy with basketball again, really happy with myself and how I'm playing and a having a little more confidence boost from what I've had over these last two years. And I feel like AU, for me, that five-on-five setting was a big piece of it,” Nurse said. The timing of the Athletes Unlimited schedule — deep enough into the WNBA off-season but with enough leeway to fine tune things before the 2025 campaign begins — also stood out to Nurse. Ahead of AU, Nurse said she moved her training from Toronto to Hamilton, where she could stay closer to home and avoid the long highway drives. And following two seasons in which Nurse’s WNBA teams suffered a combined 61 losses, she’s hoping to find a landing spot in free agency with a winning franchise. “I want to ... have an opportunity make a deep playoff run, be kind of like an X-Factor player, somebody who can go out there, be a three-and-D player, can help make winning plays,” she said. Nurse said she and fellow WNBA veteran Bridget Carleton have discussed what went wrong in Paris and how it can be fixed ahead of Los Angeles 2028. Management changes have already occurred with the retirement of GM Denise Dignard and a mutual parting with head coach Victor Lapena. The national team recently met up in Toronto for an informal training camp where Nurse and Carleton aimed to lay the groundwork for the culture they hope to create over the next four years. “Getting back to the basics and just enjoying playing for Canada Basketball, but also creating a really strong, bonded culture where everybody does what they need to do for our team to win," she said. "We understand our roles (and) we understand the commitment piece of it because now there's so much going on and people are all over the place."

Illinois coach Brad Underwood believes in players pushing each other during practice to improve themselves and the team. That's why he often pits starting guards Kylan Boswell and Kasparas Jakucionis against each other in practice. Underwood figures if it worked for Ayo Dosunmu and Trent Frazier, why not his newest backcourt? So far, that method appears to be paying off again as Boswell and Jakucionis are keying a strong start for the No. 24 Fighting Illini (8-3). They'll shoot for a non-conference win Sunday afternoon when Chicago State (0-14) visits Champaign, Ill. Boswell and Jakucionis' imprints were all over Illinois' 80-77 Braggin' Rights win over Missouri in St. Louis on Dec. 22. They combined for 37 points, 11 rebounds and nine assists, with Jakucionis scoring 21 for his sixth straight game with at least 20 points. Underwood said pitting the two against each other in practice is a win-win. "I play them opposite each other so they can just exhaust each other and beat each other up," the coach said. Jakucionis, who averages a team-high 16.5 points a game on 46.8 percent shooting from the field, co-signs on that philosophy. "We elevate each other," he said. "In practice, we're pushing each other by defending and attacking each other. And it makes one another better each day and every day." Boswell adds 10.6 ppg to go with 3.5 assists, while teammates Tomislav Ivisic (13.9 ppg) and Will Riley (12.5) also are in double figures in scoring. Perhaps the best thing about this team is that it appears to have more ceiling left. Illinois is averaging 83.6 points a game without being efficient from the field (43.3 percent) or the 3-point line (32.3 percent). The Illini likely will find more efficiency against the winless Cougars, who are searching for answers and consistency in their first year as a member of the Northeast Conference. They haven't played since Dec. 21, when they fell 81-57 at Cal State Northridge. It was predictable that Chicago State would struggle. After earning 13 wins last season at a program that has had a hard time winning consistently, coach Gerald Gillion left to serve as Rod Strickland's lead assistant at Long Island. New Cougars coach Scott Spinelli, who worked under Mark Turgeon (Maryland) and Jim Christian (Boston College), not only had to replace most of his roster but brought a new style of play to town. Gillion played a methodical half-court game, and Spinelli is trying to play at a faster pace. "We want to have guys out there that can get up and down the floor," Spinelli said this past summer. That hasn't come to fruition yet. The Cougars are last in Division I in field-goal percentage at 35.1 and third from the bottom in scoring at 59.6 points per game. They also rank near the bottom in free-throw percentage, 3-point percentage, rebounding, assists and turnovers. Jalen Forrest is the team's leading scorer at 9.1 ppg but is shooting only 33.6 percent from the field. Cameron Jernigan averages a team-high 4.5 rebounds. --Field Level Media2024 has been an iconic year, especially terms of beauty and fashion. There were a number of outstanding individuals and events that stood out in the course of the year. FAITH AJAYI and TOLULOPE FASUAN write about some of the most iconic and stylish moments of the last 12 months Farooq Oreagba Undoubtedly one of the most talked about persons this year, Farooq Oreagba used to be just another business executive progressing in his career in the corporate sector. But, after the celebrated annual Ojude Oba festival (2024) held in Ijebu-Ode, Ogun State, the Chief Executive Officer of NG Clearing Limited, his picture and story went viral. He stood out for his iconic style at the ceremony. He came to the limelight after the pictures of him at the festival hit the Internet, attracting the attention of many. The pictures showed him dressed in a green and yellow asoebi, with a pair of sunshades and a cigar in his mouth while he rode on a horse. Since that moment, Oreagba has remained in the spotlight, which has earned him several deals and honours from notable brands. The National Council for Arts and Culture named him a Honourary Global Ambassador. Sharing the news on his Instagram, he wrote, “I am deeply humbled and honoured to be recognised as an Honorary Global Ambassador for the National Council for Arts and Culture, under the leadership of Obi Asika. Our arts and cultural festivals are vital parts of our identity and heritage. They tell our stories, celebrate our diversity, and connect us to our roots. “As the CEO of NG Clearing, Nigeria’s central counterparty, I am passionate about unlocking Nigeria’s economic potential through the derivatives market. Now, following the overwhelming attention garnered by my participation at the 2024 Ojude Oba festival, I believe we can also unlock immense economic value through our arts and cultural festivals. This recognition is a testament to our collective efforts in keeping our cultural heritage alive and vibrant. Together, we should continue to celebrate and preserve the rich diversity of Nigerian culture. Thank you once again.” He has also featured in an advert for telecommunication company, Airtel Nigeria. Informing his social media followers about the project, he wrote, “Tomorrow is always brighter. I always remember there is someone inspired by my journey. So, I am doing more with the limitless life I have now. Stay tuned for my first acting role on Tuesday, November 5th. It’s really hot.” Elaborating on why he chose to work with the brand, he posted a video excerpt with the caption, “This was quite a trip for me! I wasn’t planning to star in a commercial but when it resonates with your life, what can you do?” Known to have survived cancer 10 years ago, he has continued to lend his voice in that area. On November 24, 2024, he participated in a cancer survivor conference with the theme, “Harnessing the power of lived experience to transform cancer care in Nigeria”. At the conference, an initiative called the Coalition of Cancer Champions was launched. Oreagba has not only continued to maintain his “steeze” in terms of fashion and career, he has also inspired others in different areas, ranging from arts to culture, even using the story of his life and challenges he faced to encourage others. Beauty Tukura A lawyer, entrepreneur and model, Beauty Tukura, first came to the limelight when she won the 43rd Miss Nigeria beauty pageant in 2019. She became even more popular when, in 2022, she appeared on the hit reality TV show, Big Brother Naija (Season Seven). However, her stay in the house was short-lived as she was disqualified from the show just after two weeks for breaking some of the show’s rules. She seems to have put that incident behind her, and she has been involved in some activities. However, another part of her that has often been talked about is her style. She is usually elegantly dressed whenever she attends events, which directs a lot of attention her way. Posting a picture of herself on Instagram , she wrote, “Still Best Dressed 2023/2024... until further notice #AMVCA10.” A year before that (2023), she had won the same award. What makes her double win notable is the fact that aside from the awards/recognition event that it primarily is, the AMVCA is also a major fashion showcase that lots of people in the creative industry and beyond look forward to. Many fashion designers and stylists have noted that the AMVCA period is usually one of their peak seasons in the year. In 2014, Tukura made a bold statement in a peach gown that exuded elegance. Her simple accessories and hairstyle perfectly complemented her dress, making her a spectacle to behold at the event.

The attire was designed by Veekee James; and she matched it with diamond earrings and a silver pair of shoes. In different interviews, Tukura has said that she has always found herself drawn to the world of beauty and pageantry since she was a kid. She noted that she won her first pageant when she was just in elementary school. Many years later, she contested the ‘Most Beautiful Taraba Girl’ twice. Ashabi Simfolak Another person who held the spotlight during the Ojude Oba festival of Ijebuland, Ogun state was a lady identified as “Ashabi Simfolak” on social media. Although it could not be confirm if that is her real name, there are accounts bearing her pictures with that name on both TikTok and Instagram . According to her profile on those pages, she deals in fabrics. After the festival, she was tagged ‘queen of steeze’. At the festival, she was dressed in aso oke and matching gele, with red neck beads and gold accessories. She also wore a pair of black and gold designer shades. With the combination of her outfit and “swag/steeze”, she stood out among the large crowd of fashionable people at the popular festival. Judging by the pictures on the social media pages in reference, Ashabi can be described as a “fashionista”, who pays attention to her outfits and accessories, choosing the right colours that go with her complexion. She is also in tune with her culture as most of the pictures depict her in traditional attire. Ebuka Obi-Uchendu In 2024, popular media personality and TV host, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu continued to elevate his sense of fashion with a blend of both traditional attire and contemporary designs that captured the attention of his fans and admirers. Throughout the time he hosted this year’s edition of the popular reality TV show, Big Brother Naija Season 9, his fashion choices and bold looks which represented different regions in the country, kept many glued to their screens during the live eviction shows on Sundays. He is known to wear clothes by designers such as Ugo Monye, Mai Atafo and Deco29. Meanwhile, the two outfits he wore at the grand finale of the show got many talking. One was a vibrant red jacket paired with white trousers accented by black side stripes, which he complemented with a sleek black shirt and bow tie. His second outfit had him looking like northern royalty, donned in a light blue two-piece set and a sleeveless tunic inspired set. Indeed, Obi-Uchendu has remained committed to integrating cultural elements into modern fashion. Known to be one of the entertainment industry’s most stylish personalities, his fashion sense has impacted his public image as he is always the cynosure of eyes at any event he attends. Through his stylish choices, the show host continues to inspire audiences, demonstrating that fashion can be a powerful medium for cultural expression and personal branding. Neo Akpofure A two-time Big Brother Naija contestant, Neo Akpofure, first strode into public consciousness as one of the BBN housemates in the 2020 Lockdown edition of the show. He went on feature in movies such as A Weekend to Forget, Palava, and Sister Rose. He made a comeback to the BBN house when he featured in the 2023 All-Star edition. Though he did not make it to the final, he was one of the most talked about contestants of that season, largely on account of the admiration a number of the female housemates had for him. One of the reasons the ladies gave for admiring him was his neatness and sense of style. He is someone who was known to always keep his clothes and other items meticulously while on the show. As a matter of fact, he almost had an altercation with another housemate when the latter meddled with his luggage. Outside the competition, Neo has continued to show himself as someone who is in tune with fashion trends. He regularly posts pictures and videos on social media showing him looking clean, fashionable and trendy. His admirers point to the way he effortlessly combines western and traditional styles of fashion. He also collaborates with local designers to showcase their works. Thus, it was not surprising that during the 2024 AMVCA Cultural Day, which held prior to the main awards ceremony, he was named the Best Dressed Male. His cousin and former BBN contestant, Venita Akpofure, was also named the Best Dressed Female. They both wore intricately designed Itsekiri (a tribe in Delta State), which made them appear like royalty at the event.
In a letter to the Prime Minister, shadow foreign secretary Dame Priti Patel and shadow justice secretary Robert Jenrick claimed the decision by the International Criminal Court (ICC) had “no proper basis in international law”. They said the UK’s refusal to explicitly say whether or not the Israeli premier would be detained if he arrived in the country “opens the farcical spectre of your Government trying to sanction the arrest” of an ally to Britain. Criticising the ICC warrant, the shadow ministers said: “It is hard to escape the conclusion this is an activist decision, motivated by politics and not the law.” They argued the court was established to pursue cases in instances where countries do not have robust and independent judiciaries, which could not be said of Israel. “The UK Government’s response to the decision has been nonsensical,” they said. “On Friday, the Home Secretary refused to say whether Mr Netanyahu would be detained if he travelled to the UK. “This opens the farcical spectre of your Government trying to sanction the arrest on UK soil of the leader of an ally of the UK, while you continue a diplomatic charm offensive with the Chinese Communist Party leader Xi Jinping. “It falls to you to clarify the Government’s position – now. The Government must make clear that it does not support an arrest warrant being issued which has no proper basis in international law.” Downing Street on Friday indicated that Mr Netanyahu could face arrest if he entered the UK, refusing to comment on “hypotheticals” but saying Britain would always follow its “legal obligations”. The International Criminal Court Act 2001 states that a Secretary of State must, on receipt of a request for arrest from the ICC, “transmit the request and the documents accompanying it to an appropriate judicial officer”. Asked whether the UK would comply with requirements under the Act, Sir Keir’s spokesman said: “Yes, the Government would fulfil its obligations under the Act and indeed its legal obligations.” The ICC has issued a warrant for Mr Netanyahu and his former defence minister Yoav Gallant over alleged war crimes in Gaza. Number 10 previously said the domestic process linked to ICC arrest warrants has never been used to date by the UK because no-one wanted by the international court had visited the country. It added that Israel remained a “key partner across a range of areas”. The Prime Minister’s official spokesman said: “It is important that we have a dialogue with Israel at all levels to reach the ceasefire that we all want to see, to bring an end to the violence, to protect civilians and ensure the release of hostages.” The ICC also issued a warrant for Mohammed Deif, head of Hamas’s armed wing, over the October 7 2023 attacks that triggered Israel’s offensive in Gaza. A domestic court process would be required before Mr Netanyahu faced arrest if he set foot in the UK. The ICC said there are “reasonable grounds to believe” Mr Netanyahu and Mr Gallant were responsible for “the war crime of starvation as a method of warfare, and the crimes against humanity of murder, persecution and other inhumane acts”. The court’s pre-trial chamber also found “reasonable grounds to believe that Mr Netanyahu and Mr Gallant each bear criminal responsibility as civilian superiors for the war crime of intentionally directing an attack against the civilian population”. The impact of the warrants is likely to be limited since Israel and its major ally, the US, are not members of the ICC.Mission 1st of 144 B.C. RCMP detachments to rollout body-worn cameras
