Monaco’s iconic Stade Louis-II is set for a significant transformation over the next three years, as part of preparations to host the Games of the Small States of Europe in 2027. Lionel Beffre, Government Advisor and Minister of the Interior, detailed the extensive renovation plans aimed at modernising the stadium, ensuring it meets the needs of future sporting events. The renovation will take place in three phases between 2025 and 2027. Beffre highlighted three key areas of focus: upgrading the seating to make it more modern and comfortable, refurbishing aging refreshment bars, and expanding and modernizing the toilet facilities. While the color of the new seats remains undecided, Prince Albert II will have the final say on the aesthetic. The upgrades won’t stop with the immediate renovations. Plans for post-2027 include further structural improvements, such as new public reception halls, parking lot renovations, and the installation of photovoltaic panels on the roof. Beffre emphasised the scale of the investment required for these projects, describing it as “significant and necessary” to maintain the stadium’s standing. Beffre praised Monaco’s Public Security for their effective management of recent high-profile matches, including Euroleague games featuring the Roca Team and Champions League fixtures with AS Monaco. Notable progress has also been made in easing post-match traffic congestion, with exit times now halved after stadium events. In addition to the stadium updates, Beffre addressed ongoing plans for Villa Sauber, accompanied by Françoise Gamerdinger, Monaco’s Director of Cultural Affairs. Although the project has faced delays, efforts are underway to move it forward.Lauren Spatafore was a single mother living in her parent’s basement when she became a licensed cosmetologist in 2014. Less than three years later, she was earning six figures as a hairstylist, and shortly thereafter, bought her own salon — a Lunatic Fringe franchise in Sandy. Her story isn’t unusual, Spatafore said. Cosmetology is a female-dominated field — 95% of cosmetologists were women in the previous decade, according to a 2014 analysis from NDP Analytics and the California Senate. The profession, Spatafore said, offers women like her a path to financial freedom and security. Lunatic Fringe — which was co-founded and made popular by “Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” cast member Angie Katsanevas — buzzes from the minute it opens at 9 a.m. until the doors close at 7 p.m., fueled by coffee, special caffeinated water on tap and a genuine passion for the work, Spatafore said during an interview at the salon this fall. Clients settle into neat rows of salon chairs in the studio’s main space where stylists cut, paint and sweep up hair to the steady thrum of pop music. There are separate rooms for washing hair and processing color, tucked away from the bustle of the main space. It’s Spatafore’s goal to turn the 30 or so stylists at the salon into six-figure earners — or simply to help cosmetologists cut their own path to success. So she was encouraged, at first, when she learned the Office of Professional Licensure Review (OPLR) was considering whether to “trim some of the fat” from Utah’s cosmetology licensure and make the license — and the cosmetology industry at large — more accessible. But OPLR’s early recommendations, which proposed cutting the required training hours in half, would have “the opposite” effect, Spatafore said. A bill being drafted this coming legislative session could overhaul the current cosmetology licensing structure. OPLR wants to give the system a full makeover. The state’s role is to regulate safety, said OPLR Director Jeff Shumway, not skill. Right now, the cosmetology license accounts for both. “There’s a baseline for safety that OPLR put forward, and then there’s the current [structure],” Shumway said. “Folks are kind of negotiating now, where within that middle ground do we want to land?” Spatafore said she worries too dramatic a makeover, without first replacing the infrastructure to train budding cosmetologists for skill, could “destroy” the industry. Other industry professionals say the proposal is reasonable and overdue. The Legislature can base the bill on OPLR’s recommendations — but it does not have to do so. Shumway and some industry members alike said they hope the Legislature will balance industry concerns with practicality. The “bugaboo” (Leah Hogsten | The Salt Lake Tribune) Evelyn Perez-Landron's hair is filled with clips as she undergoes loc maintenance from Essence of Ebony hair salon stylist Ray Benoit, Mar. 10, 2022 in West Jordan. The state’s current cosmetology license is essentially three licenses bundled into one: hair design, esthetics and nail technology. Students can get a “microlicense” in either of the three categories, but those with a cosmetology license can prove to future employers or clients that they’ve been trained to safely work in the pillars of the profession while acquiring at least 1,600 hours of practice under their shears and brushes. Under OPLR’s proposed system , Utah’s professional cosmetology license would be broken up into distinct categories, each of which would require fewer than 1,600 hours of training but a set number of practice “reps” per skill. Hairstylists could get a hair design license that includes a hair safety permit, plus any combination of “endorsements” — essentially skill-specific microlicenses, Shumway said. Estheticians could get a separate license that includes a skin safety permit and basic skin care endorsement, plus “endorsements” in things like brows/lashes and body hair removal. Nail technicians, laser tattoo removal and electrology — using electricity to remove hair — would all be separate licenses. “We’re just taking [the existing system] to its natural conclusion,” Shumway said. “We believe that gives more economic choice and freedom to the student or licensee.” The question legislators will have to reckon with is a bit existential. Cosmetologists are “kind of the bugaboo of the occupational regulation debate,” Department of Commerce Executive Director Margaret Busse said at a Business and Labor Interim Committee meeting in August. Under the current system, their license doubles as a degree. It proves not only that they have basic safety training but also that they have graduated from an accredited cosmetology school with experience across the profession. Meaning, Busse said, that the state is “subsidizing” cosmetology education and schools. And those schools don’t always teach the same skills in the same way, Shumway said. “There are services within the scope of practice of a cosmetologist currently on which [people] are not trained. Like, they get nothing,” Shumway said. “And there are others where they get a lot. All we’re trying to do is sort of rationalize that, to make sure everyone gets enough reps to be safe on every skill.” “You’re a jack of all trades and master of nothing, basically,” said Crystal Mitchell, a hairstylist and salon owner who supports OPLR’s proposed changes. (Trent Nelson | The Salt Lake Tribune) Lauren Spatafore in her salon, Lunatic Fringe, in Sandy on Friday, Nov. 1, 2024. Impacts of licensing options Some 500 students train at one of the Paul Mitchell School’s four Utah campuses. At the school’s Salt Lake City site, students practice cutting and coloring hair, first on wigs and then on real models, and also learn the do’s and don’ts of chemical peels, facials and nail art. It takes just over a year of studying full time to meet the 1,600-hour licensing requirement, said Ryan Claybaugh, the school’s vice president of advanced education. Proponents of OPLR’s suggestions have repeatedly said that cosmetology schools have the most to lose under a new system. Shumway said he’s more concerned about the impact on students, as fewer training hours means lower tuition costs. Some worry that reducing the required licensing hours too much could also impact students’ eligibility to receive financial aid. Roughly 40% of cosmetology students receive federal financial aid in the form of a Pell Grant, Shumway said. Pell Grants are typically given to “undergraduate students who display exceptional financial need and have not earned a bachelor’s, graduate or professional degree,” according to the program website . Pell Grant recipients need to study for at least 600 hours to be eligible for aid. OPLR took that threshold into account in its recommendations, Shumway said. Cosmetology students would not lose eligibility; they may, however, qualify for less aid. And there are programs that operate below the Pell threshold, Shumway said. Students, for example, who are seeking only a license as nail technicians and not as cosmetologists don’t qualify. Overall, Shumway said, OPLR’s proposal is to make the license less expensive. “We’re just trying to give options,” he said. “Microlicenses [are] a much cheaper and faster option to a lot of folks.” And while schools, like his, Claybaugh said, will take a hit on tuition if hours drop, students will also suffer. “At the end of the day, I’m a school, I have set expenses,” he said. “But I’m more focused on the competency of our students. I’d imagine a lot of schools will get out of the business because they’re not going to put out a good product. We didn’t start schools just to teach safety.” Claybaugh said he recognizes the existential and statutory calculations the state is making. But, like Spatafore, he also understands that this is the way the system works in today’s environment. Schools could create their own degree or certificate program, but Paul Mitchell’s current accreditor only credits programs that lead to licensure. OPLR’s early proposals would require a system overhaul. Such big change “doesn’t happen overnight,” Claybugh said. “Give us two to three years to adjust.” (Trent Nelson | The Salt Lake Tribune) Sen. Todd Weiler, R-Woods Cross, in the Senate Chamber in Salt Lake City on Friday, Feb. 3, 2023. Lawmakers to decide next year In August, a sea of black filled a committee hearing room at the Utah Capitol. Dozens of cosmetologists similarly dressed in the trade’s unofficial uniform color packed a Business and Labor Interim Committee meeting to learn about OPLR’s proposal to the Legislature. Spatafore was among them. But a special session called by the Legislature to rush through proposed amendments to Utah’s Constitution trimmed that hearing’s agenda. OPLR ultimately made its final recommendations to the Legislature in November, two months before the beginning of the 2025 general session Shumway said the proposal meets the state’s statutory requirement to regulate safety and makes it clear to consumers what their practitioners are qualified to do. “They are doing their job,” Spatafore said of OPLR. “But their job, and what’s right for the industry, we’re not seeing eye to eye. They’re going to be destroying the industry by doing their job the ‘right’ way.” The recommendations are expected to be included in one of hundreds of bills lawmakers will consider next year, Shumway told The Salt Lake Tribune. And while there is not yet an early version of that bill posted to the website, Sen. Scott Sandall, R-Tremonton, is said to be sponsoring the measure. Sandall did not respond to a request to discuss the proposal. Sen. Todd Weiler, R-Woods Cross, said he hopes his colleagues on the Business and Labor Interim Committee take the industry’s concerns seriously. He is not sponsoring the bill and does not know what it will look like yet, he told The Tribune in November. But his wife is a cosmetologist and his daughter recently became a licensed esthetician, and, as a lawmaker with family connections in the industry, he has reservations about OPLR’s proposal. “Now, my job is to represent all of my district and not just my wife and daughter, of course,” Weiler said. “But I will say that there are some concerns that I have.” He worries, for example, that cutting the required hours in half will make newly licensed cosmetologists unemployable because, Weiler said, they will enter the workforce with half the training their more experienced peers have. There’s also the issue of license portability, he said. No other state requires fewer than 1,000 hours of training. Utah-trained cosmetologists, then, might not be able to transfer their licenses should they move to another state. The portability issue is one OPLR addressed in its final proposal, Shumway said. Utah cosmetologists could combine three proposed new licenses — hair design, master esthetician and nail technician — into a de facto master cosmetology license. “Portability is funky because it’s a way for certain groups to maintain the status quo with other states,” Shumway said. “We’re specifically trying to do something different from other states. Fewer people move in and out [of Utah] than the number of licensees. We don’t want to create a huge burden for 55,000 people, for the benefit of 1,200.” As for training and employability, Mitchell said much of that “burden” already falls on salon owners like her. Most newly licensed cosmetologists don’t have specific employable skills, even under the current system, she said. Specialized licenses could encourage specialized training, which Mitchel said would benefit salon owners, practitioners and clients. “If schools could focus more and do microlicensing, I actually think, as an owner, that would take the burden away,” Mitchell said, or at least make it smaller. Spatafore is less optimistic. She gladly trains cosmetologists as needed to mentor them toward success, she said, but at a bustling salon, it’s easier to train new stylists who already have some technical experience. She probably wouldn’t hire someone with 800 hours of training. “You’re giving these women a false hope,” she said. “Because you’re going to be lowering the hours, and so then there’ll be all these women that are licensed, but they’re not going to be able to get a job. They’re unemployable.” Whether Utah’s cosmetology licensure gets a small trim or a total makeover is now in the hands of the Legislature as professionals, educators and regulators look their fate in the mirror.

By Adeyemi Adeleye The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos State says council election will hold in all the 20 Local Government Areas and 37 Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs) in 2025. The APC Chairman, Pastor Cornelius Ojelabi ,made this clarification in a statement on Sunday in Lagos, following speculations about the status of the 37 LCDAs in the state. “In recent times, the leadership of APC in Lagos State has been inundated by the media, party members and other stakeholders on information about the conduct of the forthcoming Local Government elections.,most specially if elections will hold in the 37 Local Council Development Areas – LCDAs. “It has become expedient to clear the air on the needless and distractive speculation. “We wish to inform all and sundry that the Local Government elections will hold across the state in the 20 Local Government Councils and the 37 Local Council Development Areas in the year 2025,” Ojelabi said. According to him, since their creation, the LCDAs have not only been the closest to the grassroots ,but also brought the desired developments across the state. He said that the party had observed with keen interest the rdebates on the desirability of the existence of the LCDAs and the need to hold elections in their political offices. Ojelabi added: “Our position as a progressive party is that we cannot discountenance the contributions of the LCDAs to the overall political and socio-economic development of the state. “Our landscape is dotted by several infrastructural projects by the LCDAs which include road, drainage and market construction , school and housing projects, primary education and health facilities and various social service interventions among others. “The various collaborative efforts with the state government on refuse disposal, drain clearing and security are also pointers to their continuous relevance. “We hope this release will put paid to further speculations as regards the local government elections in order not to unnecessarily heat up the polity.” He urged party members and all residents to continue to coexist peacefully “as we all strive to maintain the leading position of our state in the federation.” The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the move by the House of Assembly to create Area Administrative Councils in replacement of Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs) through the proposed Local Government Administration Bill has been opposed by political stakeholders. The bill is titled: A Bill for a Law to provide for Local Government’s System, Establishment And Administration And to Consolidate All Laws On Local Government Administration And Connected Purposes is still being considered on the floor of the House. The Assembly ,during a recent public hearing, said the bill was being considered to replace the current 37 Local Council Development Areas in the state (LCDAs) with Area Administrative Councils According to the House, the bill to restructure local government administration in the state followed the Supreme Court judgment on financial autonomy for local governments. (NAN)MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Manchester City’s players were booed by their own fans Tuesday after blowing a three-goal lead against Feyenoord in the Champions League to extend their winless run to six games. Jeers rang around the Etihad Stadium after the final whistle of a dramatic 3-3 draw. “They are disappointed. Of course we understand it,” City manager Pep Guardiola said. “They are completely right to express what they feel.” After five-straight losses in all competitions, City looked to be cruising to victory after going three up inside 50 minutes. But Feyenoord mounted an improbable comeback and leveled the game in the 89th to leave the home crowd stunned. While the worst losing streak of Guardiola’s managerial career was brought to an end, his wait for a first win since Oct. 26 goes on. Erling Haaland had scored twice, with Ilkay Gundogan also on target to put City in control. But goals from Anis Hadj Moussa in the 75th, Santiago Gimenez in the 82nd and David Hancko in the 89th turned the game on its head. According to stats supplier Opta, it was the first time in Guardiola's managerial career that his team had failed to win a game after leading 3-0. It said it was the first time City had failed to win from that position since 1989. “We lost a lot of games lately, we are fragile and of course we need a victory," Guardiola said. “The game was good for the confidence, we were playing a good level, but the first time something happened we had problems.” A win would have moved City up to fifth in the Champions League standings , but the draw left it 15th with three games remaining in the first phase of the competition. The top eight teams advance to the round of 16, while teams ranked ninth to 24th go into a playoff. City’s players, including Bernardo Silva, Josko Gvardiol and Haaland looked visibly frustrated as they left the field to cheers from the delirious traveling Dutch fans in the away section of the stadium. “If you are 3-0 up at home you can never give it away like this. It is what it is at the moment. The only thing we can do is fight back and stay strong,” City defender Nathan Ake said. City plays Premier League leader Liverpool on Sunday — defeat would leave it 11 points adrift of its title rival. “We will learn for the future. It has been and will be a tough season for us and we have to accept it," said Guardiola, who had a cut on his nose during the game. He said it had been caused when he scratched it with his fingernail. James Robson is at https://twitter.com/jamesalanrobson AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccerA Nigerian in Mozambique, Akinola Olunloyo, has appealed to the Nigerian government to intervene in Mozambique’s political crisis following the confirmation of the ruling party’s victory in the October 9 elections. He urged President Bola Tinubu to use his influence within the African Union to mobilise efforts to restore peace and stability in Mozambique. Olunloyo appealed in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria on Sunday. NAN reports that Mozambique’s Frelimo has been the ruling party since 1975 when the country gained independence from Portugal. Olunloyo claimed that the political unrest was fueled by actions of the opposition party, Podemos, through its candidate, Venâncio Mondlane. Olunloyo, a businessman and resident of Mozambique’s capital, Maputo, for over 13 years, said many Nigerians were stranded, with no means of escape. “The incitement of violence by Podemos and its key figure, Venâncio Mondlane has escalated tensions resulting in the loss of lives, destruction of businesses, and targeted attacks on foreign nationals, including Nigerians.

He noted that the attack on foreigners and their businesses was because of the belief that the government benefited from foreigners. Olunloyo urged the presidency to take actions including evacuation of Nigerians to ensure their safety, and diplomatic engagement with the Mozambican government to demand the protection of Nigerians and press for immediate de-escalation of violence. He called on regional bodies and the African Union to demand accountability from Podemos and Mondlane for their role in inciting violence and destabilising the country.
