Opportunities exist for those in the hotel e-business, even during these tough economic times. Attendees at HEDNA's Lisbon Conference learned about the future trends for hotel e-business, how to profit from those trends and how HEDNA members can make a difference as the industry evolves.
Uncertain times call for different strategies. One of the top strategies for hotel e-business is evolving from selling to engaging the customer, points out Henry Harteveldt, vice president and principal analyst at Forrester Research. Hoteliers need to think more like retailers. "To succeed, hoteliers need to fulfill the experience expected by customers, not just think of them as heads in a bed," says Harteveldt.
Shaping customers expectations is becoming crucial as customers look for an 'experience' rather than just a room. The more compelling the experience for the customer, the more satisfied the customer will be. "Content will replace price as a deciding factor for customers," forecasts Heiko Siebert, vice president distribution at Mövenpick Hotels and Resorts, who participated on the Online Distribution panel.

Sicilian Mafia brothers handed life sentence for deadly ambush on two gangsters from Canada
Juan Ramon Fernandez, 56, had been deported from Canada for his mob antics when he was cut down with an associate in a fusillade of bullets in 2013

Juan Ramon Fernandez, right, is seen speaking with Giuseppe Carbone in Bagheria, Sicily shortly before Carbone helped kill him.
After dramatic evidence from a killer who turned his back on the Mafia's code of silence, two mobsters in Sicily were sentenced to life in prison for killing two gangsters from Canada, one of whom holds a mythic place in the underworld as such a dangerous man he made even hardened criminals quake.
Juan Ramon Fernandez, 56, had been deported from Canada for his mob antics when he was cut down in a fusillade of bullets in 2013. Dying beside him in the ambush was Fernando Pimentel, 36, of Mississauga, who was visiting Italy to help his exiled boss.

On Tuesday, after a lengthy stop-and-start trial, two brothers — who had also once lived in Canada — were found guilty of double murder, although Pietro Scaduto, 51, and Salvatore Scaduto, 54, deny their involvement.
The third gunman who shot Fernandez and Pimentel on April 9, 2013, became a cooperating witness and gave hours of detailed testimony in court. Giuseppe Carbone, 47, who, like the others, previously lived in Canada, was sentenced to 16 years in prison.
"Why were they killed, these two?" Fabio Marino, chairman of the Court of Assizes in Palermo, asked Carbone earlier at trial.
"There was a Mafia war in Canada," Carbone answered.
The backdrop was the rebellion against Vito Rizzuto's control of the Mafia in Montreal after Rizzuto was extradited to the United States in 2006 for three gangland murders. The rebellion was led by Raynald Desjardins, Carbone told court.
"He was the one who had the ongoing war with Rizzuto," he said.

Fernandez had torn loyalties. He was close to both Rizzuto and Desjardins and owed much to each of them.
Desjardins had first brought Fernandez into a higher echelon of crime but it was Rizzuto who gave him his true power. Fernandez claimed Rizzuto even inducted him as a "made man" of the Mafia — despite him being Spanish not Italian.
Fernandez's sin was his failure to chose a side: He was "like a priest who visits all the churches," Carbone was told.
The order to kill Fernandez came from Canada, although he did not receive it directly. He is not a mafioso, he said, he only worked with Mafia members.
"Certainly Vito Rizzuto or Desjardins, what's his name, did not call me to do the killings," Carbone said. "Rizzuto didn't call me to do the murders, Raynald Desjardins didn't call me to do the murders; they called them (his co-accused). So they know who they were dealing with, I do not. I was an outsider."
Once the order was given, Carbone and the two men on trial plotted the murder of a man known for his physical strength and determination. Fernandez was a martial arts expert, worked out every day, and was a stone-cold killer. In Montreal and Toronto, where he was also known by the name Joe Bravo, he instilled fear in even hardened criminals.
Carbone said he stole the key to his cousin's construction yard in an out-of-the-way lane in Bagheria, near Palermo. There was a lockable gate and fence that surrounded a concrete building and yard.
After two failed attempts to get Fernandez to the workshop, Pietro Scaduto convinced him to come with the promise of a great deal on a load of marijuana. Fernandez loved a good deal.
"So it was a very easy lure," Carbone said.
Salvatore Scaduto was hiding in a dog's kennel just inside the yard. Carbone was in the workshop. Pietro was to unlock and open the gate for Fernandez when he arrived. He had a gun hidden by the gatepost he was to pick up when closing the gate.
Fernandez arrived with Pimentel driving.
Pimentel was in the wrong place at the wrong time. He was a henchman recruited by Fernandez in Canada; he was visiting Sicily to help his boss push his way into the mob landscape in the very birthplace of the Mafia.

As their rental car pulled in, Salvatore burst out from his hiding spot early, before his brother had a chance to close the iron gate. It made for a frantic ambush. Pimentel opened the car door as if to flee or fight back but was met by gunfire. Fernandez reached over his body and tried to drive away.
"Rei was driving like a madman," Carbone said, using Fernandez's nickname in Sicily. Pietro was struck by the car, injuring his shoulder. The gunmen rushed to the car firing furiously.
"I turn and see Rei on the floor, arms wide," Carbone said. "He was almost in disbelief."
Fernandez looked up at his attackers and said, "Sal, you too," Carbone testified. (Previously, he said Fernandez's final words were, "Why, Pete, why?")
Pietro then shot him in the head with a pistol.
The two bodies were loaded into Fernandez's car and driven to a remote illegal dump. Pietro grabbed the victims by their arms and Carbone by their legs as they hoisted them out of the car and dragged them by their belts into long grass.

The bodies were dumped in a shallow grave and set them ablaze. The car was then driven to a different location and also set on fire to destroy evidence.
He still has nightmares about it, Carbone said.
"These memories don't do me so much good," he said.
Unable to resist a bit of profit, however, before the bodies were burned, Carbone slipped the expensive watch off Fernandez's wrist. It had been a gift to him from Rizzuto and was one of the few items he brought with him from Canada.
Carbone was later caught trying to sell the watch, leading to his arrest. He agreed to help police with their investigation and to testify against his co-accused, becoming a "pentito" in Italian parlance.
Carbone led police to the victims' charred bodies in May 2013.

Why Canada Failed the 'Ben Franklin Challenge' in 1776
July 2, 2020 TFD Commentary 0
"They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."
July 1st is a strange day in Canada. From Pacific to the Atlantic coast, Canadians have made it an annual practice to paint maple leaves on their faces and party like there was no tomorrow.
But what exactly does this day signify?
It may be a bit of a bitter pill to swallow for some, but as I outlined in my Missed Chance of 1867, and the True Story of the Alaska Purchase, the original founding of Canada on July 1st, 1867 was designed by British Geopoliticians for the explicit purpose of keeping Canada locked into the British Empire as a wedge separating the potential U.S./Russia alliance that had the power of breaking the system of empire forever. During this 1863-1867 period, Canada's pro-Lincoln statesmen under the influence of Les Rouges in Quebec and Isaac Buchanan in Ontario had lost their grip on power and the nation lost a vital chance of becoming a participant in a new world of win-win cooperation, rail and industrial growth outside of systems of empire.
This failure of 1867 was not the first, but rather the third time in 90 years that Canada missed its chance to break free of the Empire and become a genuine nation state.
Here, I would like to review the first of two pre-1867 "missed chances".
1774 and the Ben Franklin Challenge
Many Canadians (and Americans) find themselves shocked when confronted with the fact that Canada's first postal service and first newspaper were both created by… Benjamin Franklin!
Established in 1753 in Halifax as part of Franklin's overhaul in communications infrastructure in the Americas, mail services were extended to Quebec City and Montreal after the French were defeated in the Seven Years' War in 1763 as France's colony north of Vermont fell to the British. Franklin had been made Post-Master General in 1753 (the same year his famous kite experiment made him an international sensation).
Montreal's Gazette was founded by a French republican named Fleury Mesplat recruited by Franklin in order to help counteract the destructive effects the French feudal system had on the cognitive powers of the Quebec colonists whose rampant illiteracy dovetailed their non-existent appetites for representative government or freedom. In this feudal culture, blind obedience to authority (whether political or religious) was seen as preferable to thinking for oneself.
Although Franklin created these cultural milestones and was an active diplomat working to persuade the Quebecois of the importance of becoming a 14th member of the united colonies, his mission failed due to a series of bribes, acts of treason and short sighted thinking by men who should have known better. Ultimately, the Quebecois chose submission to Crown rather than risking their lives for freedom.
Before we say how and why this happened, some additional words on Franklin are necessary.
Getting to know the Real Benjamin Franklin
Despite the widespread mythology that the father of the American Revolution, Dr. Benjamin Franklin was merely a womanizing tinkerer and land speculator, the reality, upon closer inspection, is quite different.
Having become recognized as a world's leading scientist during the 1750s for his discovery of the nature of electricity, Franklin became revered across Europe as the "Prometheus of America" (having stolen fire from Zeus to share with mankind, Prometheus was always seen as an anti-imperial figure by lovers of freedom since the time of Aeschylus). Franklin polarized the elite of the European nobility and strove to infuse a spirit of creative seeking and self improvement wherever he went by promoting industry, infrastructure and science.
His approach to indiscriminate acts of improvement were highly motivated by his early studies of a 1710 book by his mentor Cotton Mather called "Essays to Do Good" which Franklin described as "an influence on my conduct through life; for I have always set a greater value on the character of a doer of good, than on any other kind of reputation; and if I have been, as you seem to think, a useful citizen, the public owes the advantage of it to that book."
For many years, Franklin was not in favor of a full revolution, but believed that it were possible to reform the British Empire (which had only recently been hijacked by the Venetian Party faction during the Glorious Revolution of 1688). During Franklin's lifetime, the republican spirit of Thomas More, Erasmus and Shakespeare was still very much alive and it was this Promethean Christian spirit that he felt could be kindled to transform the Empire from a Satanic Hellfire Club operation into something viable and in harmony with humanity's wellbeing (1).
This belief led Franklin to transform Britain itself through his creation of the British Lunar Society while acting representative to Britain in 1857. This group featured such scientists as Matthew Boulton, Josiah Wedgewood and Erasmus Darwin and uniquely drove the advancement of internal improvements (roads, canals, bridges, steam power, sewage etc), industrial growth and living standards in Britain.
In the 13 colonies of America, Franklin created the first fire department (1736), public library (1731), and founded the University of Pennsylvania. As a leading printer and later post-master general, Franklin knew that the American population of the 1730s did not yet have the moral or cognitive fortitude to induce a revolutionary positive change for the world and as such he created the influential Poor Richards Almanac which wrapped moral lessons and insights into poetry, science, astronomy and philosophy lessons with every single issue. This popular journal probably did more than anything else as a form of mass cultural education which empowered Americans to eventually think on a level sufficient to understand why concepts like Freedom were worth dying for (taxation without representation was merely one of 27 points enumerated in the Declaration of Independence).
In preparing the foundations for a reform of the world political-economic system, Franklin studied Chinese culture and strove to model western reforms on the best principles of Confucianism and the Chinese constitution.
Franklin applied the best techniques of satirist-republican Jonathan Swift and wrote countless hilarious essays under pen names like Silence Dogood, Martha Careful, Richard Saunders and Anthony Afterwit. He also followed Swift's lead as he argued against British population control in his Observations Concerning the Increase of Mankind. As early as 1729, Franklin codified a system of banking tied not to the worship of money or markets but rather internal improvements which argued for the creation of colonial scrip (not controlled by private central bankers). These insights would derive from his studies of Colbertist Dirigism and preceded the later work by his protégé Alexander Hamilton who established the American system of Political economy in his 1790-91 reports.
Most importantly, Franklin worked to coordinate an international network of collaborators among the enlightened intelligentsias of Russia, France, Germany, Prussia, Spain, Italy and even India and Morocco! In this way, the scientist/poet/statesman walked in the footsteps of the great Gottfried Leibniz who had attempted a similar grand design when Franklin was still a boy.
Back to Canada…
When he was still of the view that Britain could be reformed, Franklin wrote his famous Canada Pamphlets of 1760 which made the case that even though monetarily speaking it was more profitable for Britain to take France's possessions in Guadeloupe due to the high price of sugar and rum, it was infinitely preferable to take Canada instead where potential for growth and improvement was boundless. Franklin knew the evil corruption of London and the European imperial powers (which had vast possessions in the Americas), but always believed that a united colonial republican movement could become the spark plug for an international new renaissance movement forecasted by John Winthrop's City on a Hill vision of 1630.
This was the belief that underlay Franklin's 1769 message to Lord Kames which has confused so many modern scholars as Franklin says:
"No one can more sincerely rejoice than I do, on the reduction of Canada and this not merely as I am a Briton. I have long been of opinion that the foundations to the future grandeur and stability of the British Empire lie in America; And though like other foundations they are low and little now, they are nevertheless broad and strong enough to support the greatest political structure that human wisdom ever erected."
When it became clear that the British aristocracy was intent on crushing Franklin's dreams of emancipation by the early 1770s, Franklin began devoting all of his energy towards a full revolution from the "mother country" and French Canada was always a high prize. Since British abuses of the French population ran rampant, and sympathy for the republican cause was widespread among Quebec subjects (though not the feudal elite), Franklin and others believed that Quebec's eventual participation would not be a difficult affair.
By 1774, the British Empire pre-empted the inevitable participation by passing the Quebec Act giving an unprecedented array of religious freedoms to Quebec's population which were always fearful of losing their Catholic traditions. These freedoms came however, at the cost of unquestioned loyalty to the Crown, and to accept never having representative government (only Crown appointees). The Jesuit-run clergy elite were overjoyed to keep their hold on the population, tithes and still enjoy revenue of the human cows on their lands. As an additional insurance, the Church under the control of Bishop Briand ensured that any subject who joined Washington's rebellion would be excommunicated on the spot and thus burn in hellfire for eternity!
Ordering all parishes to accept the reign of King George, Bishop Briand stated:
"The God of armies…who extends or restricts at his pleasure the boundaries of empires, having by his eternal decrees put us under the domination of his Britannic Majesty, it is our duty, based on natural law, to be interested in all that concerns him. We order you to submit to the king and to all those who share his authority."
A particularly dangerous part of the Quebec Act was the extension of Quebec's Crown-controlled lands down into the Ohio River fully encircling the 13 colonies and making them subject to non-linear attacks by Jesuit-run natives. While the native population was highly wronged by all sides at different times during this conflict but the British and Jesuit collaborators used the most refined techniques of manipulation and have to the present day. The caging of the colonies onto the Pacific Coast was a far sighted maneuver to subvert the mandate of the "Continental" Congress whose name implied it's larger goal.
On October 26, 1774 a Letter to the Inhabitants of Quebec was sent from the Continental Congress extolling the population to join in the declaration of independence and unite with the 13 colonies. While the whole letter should be read in full, it ended with this call:
"We only invite you to consult your own glory and welfare, and not to suffer yourselves to be inveigled or intimidated by infamous ministers so far as to become the instruments of their cruelty and despotism, but to unite with us in one social compact, formed on the generous principles of equal liberty and cemented by such an exchange of beneficial and endearing offices as to render it perpetual. In order to complete this highly desirable union, we submit it to your consideration whether it may not be expedient for you to meet together in your several towns and districts and elect Deputies, who afterwards meeting in a provincial Congress, may chose Delegates to represent your province in the continental Congress to be held at Philadelphia on the tenth day of May, 1775."
The British and their French collaborators ensured that hardly any of these letters would be permitted into Quebec, and sadly for the hundreds that did arrive, the rate of illiteracy among the feudal population made it nearly impossible for most to read or understand it. Despite this problem, several hundred did risk perpetual hellfire and joined the revolutionary cause under the leadership of Clement Gosselin (later known as Washington's French-Canadian Spy).
The Last Attempt: Franklin in Canada
The last effort to convince Quebec to join came a year later, as a delegation led by an aging Ben Franklin made their way to Montreal where they stayed for two weeks from April 29- May 6, 1776. The Continental Congress gave Franklin the following instructions:
"Inform them that in our Judgment their Interest and ours are inseparably united. That it is impossible we can be reduced to a servile Submission to Great Britain without their sharing in our Fate; and on the other Hand, if we obtain, as we doubt not we shall, a full Establishment of our Rights, it depends wholly on their Choice, whether they will participate with us in those Blessings, or still remain subject to every Act of Tyranny, which British Ministers shall please to exercise over them. Urge all such Arguments as your Prudence shall suggest to enforce our Opinion concerning the mutual Interests of the two Countries and to convince them of the Impossibility of the War being concluded to the Disadvantage of the Colonies if we wisely and vigorously co-operate with each other.
"To convince them of the Uprightness of our Intentions towards them, you are to declare that it is our Inclination that the People of Canada may set up such a Form of Government, as will be most likely, in their Judgment, to produce their Happiness; and you are in the strongest Terms to assure them, that it is our earnest Desire to adopt them into our Union as a Sister Colony, and to secure the same general System of mild and equal Laws for them and for ourselves, with only such local Differences, as may be agreeable to each Colony respectively."
A rampant smallpox outbreak among American soldiers in Montreal (via the British spread of germ-infested blankets), mass demoralization and news of an oncoming British counterattack to regain control of Montreal put an end to that effort and Franklin returned to America empty handed.
The rest they say is history.
How the International Revolution was Subverted
While the French feudal elite were soon joined by a new set of United Empire Loyalists who left America after the Revolutionary War to establish English-speaking Canada, some traitors remained behind in the United States where they passed themselves off outwardly as friends of the revolution but always maintained a secret allegiance to the City of London and the system of hereditary powers antagonistic to the Principles of the Constitution and Declaration of Independence.
These traitors fomented the growth of a perverse form of manifest destiny which abolitionists like Franklin, John Jay, Alexander Hamilton, Gouvernor Morris, Robert Morris, etc… fought tirelessly against throughout their lives. These traitorous bigots made every effort to spread slavery, destroy native Americans while subverting the true heritage of the republican cause from within.
One notable early representative of this group killed Alexander Hamilton in 1804 and set up the Bank of Manhattan establishing Wall Street as a City of London tentacle within America itself where this proto-deep state remained in power for the next 250 years.
In France, Ben Franklin's allies led by Marquis Lafayette and Jean-Sylvain Bailey found their noble republican efforts of 1789-90 sabotaged by a color revolution in the form of the Bloody Jacobin terror coordinated by London's Foreign Office and which I outlined in a recent paper: The Jacobin Terror (Just Another Color Revolution?).
In Canada, the British Foreign Office instituted a form of government which gave some limited elected positions to the plebians in 1791 but ensured that all actual power remained firmly in the hands of appointees of the Crown. During the post-1791 years, local oligarchies formed under the Family Compact of Upper Canada and the feudal elite of the Church in Lower Canada who collaborated closely in an unholy alliance. Their efforts were always driven by the need to keep the nation "un-American" by ensuring that the lands remain under-developed, the economy remain cash cropping as "hewers of wood and drawers of water", and the population docile, ignorant and malleable.
In spite this perversion of history, growing poverty and injustices did induce a movement of resistance which began to take the form of republican "patriot movements" under the leadership of William Lyon Mackenzie in Upper Canada and Louis-Joseph Papineau in Lower Canada- both of whom would come to a head in the Rebellions of 1837-38 (aka: the second missed chance).

For many of us, the list of reasons for not going to the gym is nearly as exhaustive as the benefits of exercising. Expensive membership fees, complicated machinery and feeling intimated are the most-used excuses for choosing the sofa over the treadmill. But with latest figures from the British Heart Foundation stating that a devastating 180 people in the UK die of a heart attack every day, it�s no surprise that Brits are starting to prioritise their health and invest in getting fit.
There�s no denying that the UK still has a problem with weight control, with 62 percent of adults in the UK being overweight or obese (Cancer Research UK). But people are starting to wise up on the detrimental impact this has on their health and take the appropriate measures to shed a few pounds. According to the 2018 State of the UK Fitness Industry Report, there are over 7,000 gyms in the UK, with almost ten million sweaty gymgoers filling them. With the UK health and fitness industry growing each year, it is hardly surprising that the market value is approximately £5 billion.
The main driving force behind the impressive industry growth is the increased popularity of low-cost gyms. Having an affordable monthly membership fee tackles the main reason Brits give for not going to the gym - expensive gym membership. Low-cost gyms now account for approximately 15 percent of the market value and 35 percent of membership.
And these low-cost alternatives are proving to be a recession-proof concept to invest in. In times of economic downturn, people tend to cut back on luxury spending which, in the past, included costly gym memberships. With the rise of inexpensive gyms, people have not had to make this sacrifice and so the industry has continued to grow even in times of economic uncertainty.
Why training is so crucial for a franchisee?
With the number of fitness facilities, market value and total memberships on the up, starting a fitness franchise could be an exciting � and potentially lucrative - business opportunity.
Established in 2010 by former Olympic athlete, Tim Benjamin, this is a gym business with a difference. With a mission to break down many of the barriers to exercise, this franchise network essentially offers its clients the high level of service akin to that of a personal trainer for the much more reasonable cost of a gym membership. The Fitness Space provides yoga, personal and small group trainings, fitness camp and more.
The Fitness Space provides a comprehensive training package to help franchisees achieve great returns whilst helping people at the same time. The franchise team will provide franchisees with a bespoke CRM system, smartphone app, intensive training at the headquarters for a week, pre-sales management and coordination, weekly field support, a launch programme, a dedicated phoneline and intranet forum.
A minimum investment of £75,000 and a total investment of £245,000 is required. The initial franchise fee is £24,950.
This exciting 24-hour gym has been ranked the number one global franchise by Entrepreneur magazine. Established in Minneapolis, US, in 2002, the rapidly expanding club now has over 4,000 clubs in 30 countries.
Training continues weekly, monthly and yearly - on-site, remotely and via regular three-day training courses.
This gym business for sale enables franchisees to maximise their earning potential by charging a flat monthly royalty fee, rather than it being a percentage of profit. This is beneficial for hard-working and dedicated franchisees as they gain from the fruits of their labour and can budget more effectively with a set monthly royalty fee.
In order to invest with Anytime Fitness you will need a minimum investment of £170,000, a total investment of £170,000 and franchise fees of £36,000.
This is an affordable gym that provides its members with quality equipment and a comprehensive fitness class timetable. Franchisees joining Trugym also receive everything they need to start their journey to becoming the boss, as well as the fitness training, health and safety know-how and marketing support that�s needed to run a successful business.
Interested franchisees need a minimum investment of £100,000, a total investment of £300,000 and franchise fees of £25,000.
The future for both budget and premium gyms is looking bright with plenty of opportunity to develop and evolve to meet the increasing demands of today�s fitness market. There is a lot of competition around, particularly for low cost gyms, but there are also loads of opportunities to change, diversity and progress for many years to come. So, what are the advantages of investing in a gym business for sale as part of a franchise?
Brand awareness is a big benefit of a franchise gym business, as clients know what to expect before they walk through the door. Members and potential clients will be aware of the classes that are offered, the quality of the equipment used as well as the pricing structures available. And while a business is being set up, franchisees can benefit from the knowledge, experience and advice that the franchisor can provide. This is invaluable when considering location, equipment, recruitment and promotional activity.
As well as sound advice, in a crowded marketplace, the robust marketing plan that the franchisor will have developed and refined will be a priceless asset contributing to the success of the business. Compare this to an independent gym owner, and the amount of money, time and effort that would need to be spent to replicate the level of local and national exposure would huge.
And finally, as well as running a profitable, enjoyable and exciting business, franchisees have the added benefit of knowing that they�re helping members of their community to avoid becoming just another British Heart Foundation statistic.

Fue hijo de Mucio Paravicino y María de Arteaga. Su familia paterna era de origen italiano, de hecho estaba emparentada con el cardenal Octavio Paravicini.

Estudió gramática, retórica y letras en el colegio de los jesuitas de Ocaña. Realizó los estudios superiores en Alcalá de Henares y después se trasladó a Salamanca para estudiar Cánones. Una muestra de su ingenio y agudeza es que a los 17 años ya defendió las Conclusiones públicas.

El 18 de abril de 1600, cuando contaba con 19 años, pidió su ingreso en el convento de los trinitarios calzados de Salamanca, siendo recibido por el famoso catedrático fr. Juan de la Estrella. Pronto tuvo ocasión de demostrar sus cualidades de orador, ya que el rey Felipe III visitó Salamanca y el orador a quien se había designado para ofrecer el discurso de bienvenida cayó enfermo, decidiendo entonces encomendar el discurso al joven trinitario, fr. Hortensio, que con 21 años había obtenido ya la cátedra de retórica en la Universidad de Salamanca. Fue tal el entusiasmo que generó en todos que su fama aumentó, no solo en la ciudad sino hasta en la misma corte, llamó especialmente la atención de Felipe, Príncipe de Asturias (que después sería Felipe IV).

Por ese tiempo fr. Juan Bautista de la Concepción había conseguido de Roma los permisos para la constitución de una Provincia Trinitaria de Descalzos, eran muchos los trinitarios que seguían su ejemplo de austeridad y vuelta a la Regla Primitiva de San Juan de Mata, entre ellos fr. Hortensio, que en 1605 conoció en Salamanca al santo reformador trinitario y pidió ingresar en el recién fundado convento descalzo de Salamanca, tomando el nombre de fr. Félix de San Juan, no duró mucho; sin embargo, así es como nos lo cuenta en sus escritos el mismo Juan Bautista de la Concepción:

Las causas por las que dejó la reforma trinitaria no se han llegado a conocer. El caso es que en 1606 fr. Hortensio es ya Definidor Provincial, y por tanto es trasladado a la Casa de la Trinidad de Madrid. Allí conoció a fr. Simón de Rojas, con quien le unió hasta su muerte una profunda y sencilla amistad personal. Su fama de orador y predicador iba en aumento, promocionada ahora por su cercanía a la corte. En 1609 El Greco pinta su retrato, expuesto en el Museo de Bellas Artes de Boston, y conocido como ejemplo de retrato psicológico, al que Luis Cernuda dedicó estos versos: «Tú no puedes hablarme, y yo apenas/ si puedo hablar. Mas tus ojos me miran/como si a ver un pensamiento me llamaran». Desde que llegó a Madrid les había unido una amistad muy cercana, y de los muchos sonetos que nuestro fr. Hortensio dedicó al pintor, el que escribió con motivo de su muerte es, tal vez, el más famoso: «Creta le dio la vida, y los pinceles / Toledo, mejor patria donde empieza / a lograr con la muerte eternidades».

Durante este período se relacionó con los más destacados escritores y artistas del Siglo de Oro. El carácter afable de Paravicino fue capaz de conciliar una relación de amistad con talantes tan diferentes como los poetas Luis de Góngora y Argote, Francisco de Quevedo y Lope de Vega, pero también con El Greco, como ya hemos comentado, con el dramaturgo y poeta Salas Barbadillo, el poeta Anastasio Pantaleón de Ribera, el poeta y crítico Bartolomé Leonardo de Argensola, el poeta, pintor y crítico literario Juan de Jáuregui, el humanista y cronista real Pedro de Valencia y el historiador y filólogo aragonés Pellicer de Tovar.

En 1617 el rey Felipe III lo nombra Predicador Real, cargo que mantuvo con el nuevo rey Felipe IV. Tras la muerte de Felipe III pronunció un famoso sermón panegírico que fue el comienzo de su más conocida enemistad, la que mantuvo hasta su muerte con el dramaturgo Pedro Calderón de la Barca.

En la Orden Trinitaria fue Visitador de la Provincia de Andalucía, en dos ocasiones Ministro Provincial de Castilla, 1618-1621 y 1627-1630. Con 53 años sufrió una enfermedad hipocondriaca que se complicó con la falta de sueño y dificultades para la respiración, y que finalmente le llevó a la muerte el 12 de diciembre de 1633. Cuando el rey se enteró de su enfermedad mandó un mensajero para ofrecer a Paravicino los mejores médicos de su cámara y mandó celebrar misas ofreciendo la promesa de dar a fr. Hortensio las más altas dignidades eclesiásticas si Dios lo sanaba.

A su muerte recibió no pocos elogios de sus amigos. Lope de Vega le dedicó estos versos: «Aquel nuevo africano,/ Crisóstomo español con labios de oro./ Que nunca ingenio humano /del intelectual celeste coro / tanta parte alcanzó, pues parecía / éxtasis de su misma jerarquía». Y por su parte Quevedo escribió: «El que vivo enseñó, difunto mueve,/ y el silencio predica en él difunto:/ en este polvo mira y llora junto/ la vista cuanto al púlpito le debe».

Obra poética y oratoria
Compuso un centenar de sermones. De ellos se conserva la colección reunida en seis volúmenes por el trinitario fr. Alonso Cano Nieto en 1766 Oraciones evangélicas o discursos panegíricos y morales. La mayor parte son piezas cuaresmales, pero también hay oraciones fúnebres y sermones de santos. Destacan los de San Francisco Javier, el del Niño perdido, el de La soledad de la Virgen, el de Santa Isabel de Portugal, el de Santa Teresa etc. Entre las oraciones fúnebres, la ya mencionada por los reyes Felipe III y Margarita de Austria y la de Fray Simón de Rojas.

Su producción poética se publicó en Obras posthumas, divinas y humanas (1641), donde se incluye además una pieza teatral, Gridonia o Cielo de Amor vengado, y una loa. La posteridad, ya en su misma época, se ensañó contra la oscuridad de su estilo oratorio, sobre todo los ilustrados y neoclásicos del siglo XVIII, quienes rechazaron su oratoria alambicada, llena de alusiones, elusiones, hipérbatos y antítesis, porque se constituyó en modelo de toda la oratoria sagrada posterior y privó a la predicación de parte de su eficacia al distanciar su mensaje de la gente más inculta y humilde, que no comprendía lo encerrado y cubierto por tan difíciles excesos formales.

a better OPDS support (both OPDS 1 and the emerging OPDS 2 feed format).
support for right-to-left languages, like Arabic and Hebrew.
Many other improvements and bug fixes are also part of this version. Part of this work was to re-organize the source code so that developers of end-user applications can work more efficiently on these Readium-2 development kits.
The complete source code is available on the Readium Github space. Here is the iOS / Swift codebase. And here is the Android / Kotlin codebase.
We are reaching the end of the beta evolution, as drafted in the Readium-2 roadmap. The OPDS and right-to left functionality are even already present in the current beta versions.
What we have to do now to reach the "V1" level is dealing with fixed-layout publications, bookmarks, plus add support for the CBZ format.

Diversity Dashboard Example
What is a diversity dashboard?
Diversity dashboards (sometimes called Diversity and Inclusion dashboards, or Diversity, Equity and Inclusion dashboards) help HR teams visualize KPIs that measure the success of their DEI strategy, such as company demographics, gender pay gap and metrics related to company culture.
Examples of diversity dashboards
Diversity and Inclusion dashboard
This dashboard is used by a US-based company to track employee demographics according to race and gender. Trend lines help the HR Director to see how the company demographics are changing over time. She can also see how employee turnover and hiring practices have affected the diversity within the company
In the top right hand corner she is tracking a metric based on a question included in a company-wide survey related to inclusion. Inclusion is, of course, much harder to measure than diversity, but many People teams see building an inclusive culture as essential to retaining diverse talent. By bringing these metrics, this dashboard is able to provide a more holistic view of the company's overall D&I outcomes.
Company diversity, Inclusion Survey responses
Who looks at it?
HR Director, Senior Leadership
How often?
Several times a month
DatabasesGoogle SheetsExcelSpreadsheets
This dashboard is used by a UK-based company to visualize metrics related to their Gender Pay Gap. A Gender Pay Gap is the measure of the average difference in salary between men and women, per hour of work. In some countries, companies are required to report on this metric by law.
The metric takes into account average compensation across the company. This means the existence of a Gender Pay Gap does not necessarily mean that men and women are paid differently for the same work. For example, a Gender Pay Gap may occur if people from one gender generally occupy more senior, well-paid roles and people from another gender generally occupy the more junior, less well-paid roles.
In this dashboard we can see the average gap in salary between men and women, and how this has changed over time. We can also see the gap in bonuses paid to men and women.
Alongside the overall pay gap, this dashboard is also reporting on quantitative factors which are likely to explain the Gender Pay Gap, such as difference in gender at each salary band and in each department. It's also reporting on the factors which are likely to affect the Gender Pay Gap in the future, such as the gender balance for promotions and new hires.

Mark Mobius retires at end of month after 30 years at top
Veteran star fund manager Mark Mobius, plans to retire from Franklin Templeton Investments after three decades at the firm.
The company announced his retirement, effective January 31."There is no single individual who is more synonymous with emerging-markets investing than Mark Mobius," Templeton Chairman and CEO Greg Johnson said in a statement Friday.
The bald-headed fund management guru – one of the most recognised faces in the industry – has long been considered one of the biggest specialists in opportunities in Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe and Latin America. As reported, Mobius had reduced his role at Franklin Templeton across the last few years.
In March 2016, as reported, Mobius handed over the day-to-day management of Templeton Emerging Markets Group, as the company's US-based parent, Franklin Templeton brought its emerging markets divisions under one umbrella, but kept his hand in some funds.
Mobius, now 81, passed overall control of the group to Stephen Dover, currently chief investment officer of Franklin Local Asset Management. A year later, as reported, he stopped working on the day-to-day management accepting an advisory role across the funds.
Mobius has long been considered the biggest name in emerging markets investing. After accepting a job offer from money manager John Templeton in 1987, Mobius headed one of the first emerging-market equity fund available to US customers. With a long-time base in Singapore, he traveled about 250 days a year in a Gulfstream IV private jet, visiting factories and distributors in remote corners of the globe to identify investment opportunities.

Americans for Tax Reform to host RNC Chairmanship debate
← return to Water Cooler
By Kerry Picket The Washington Times - November 17, 2010, 06:41PM
WASHINGTON, D.C.—On Monday, January 3, Americans for Tax Reform (ATR) will host a debate among candidates for the Chairmanship of the Republican National Committee (RNC). The event will take place in the Ballroom of the National Press Club.
"The actual vote for RNC Chairman will be made by the 168 members of the Committee, but the impact will be felt by all. Therefore, every activist should play a role in questioning the candidates and communicating with RNC members who cast votes…just like lobbying your Congressman and Senators. We are working with bloggers and other activists to develop the questions to be asked during the forum, and we encourage everyone to visit RNCdebate.org in the coming days to submit and vote on questions," said Grover Norquist, president of ATR. "The event will be open to C-SPAN and streamed live at RNCdebate.org."
ATR hosted a similar debate on January 5, 2009, drawing 600 attendees and 70 members of the media, including C-SPAN. The dedicated website for the event – RNCdebate.org – allowed activists to propose and vote on debate questions. The site drew 60,000 votes on 925 different questions.
The event details are as follows:
When: Monday, January 3, 2011 from 1:00 pm – 2:30 p.m. ET
Where: National Press Club (529 14th St. NW), 13th Floor, Ballroom
Kerry Picket, a former Opinion Blogger/Editor of The Watercooler, was associate producer for the Media Research Center, a content producer for Robin Quivers of "The Howard Stern Show" on Sirius satellite radio and a production assistant and copy writer at MTV.
