Q: Getting a Ruby 3.x argument error on a proc line in an rspec test I am trying to convert a Ruby 2.7 application to Ruby 3.0.4 . This app is running Rails 6.1.7 and rspec 5.1.2. I have a CommonIssue model with a has many relationship to Issue. I am getting
#<ArgumentError: wrong number of arguments (given 2, expected 0..1)>

from the following line
proc { CommonIssue.first.issues << Issue.first }
  .should raise_error("Validation failed: Issue has already been taken")

The following form of this also gives me the same error
expect { CommonIssue.first.issues << Issue.first }
  .to raise_error("Validation failed: Issue has already been taken")

I don't see 2 arguments for any of this. What about the first line of code above throws this error? I believe the "should" line is okay it's the one above it.
Stack trace:
Failure/Error:
   proc { CommonIssue.first.issues << Issue.first }
     .should raise_error("Validation failed: Issue has already been taken")

   expected Exception with "Validation failed: Issue has already been taken", got #<ArgumentError: wrong number of arguments (given 2, expected 0..1)> with backtrace:

Surprise U.S. Open champion Emma Raducanu announced she is splitting with the coach that helped her win the grand slam tournament.
During an event in London, with the Duchess Cambridge, Raducanu said that she decided to look for someone with more experience.
"I feel like at this stage in my career, and playing the top players in the world, I realized I really need someone right now that has had that WTA Tour experience at the high levels, which means that I'm looking for someone who has been at that level and knows what it takes," Raducanu said, according to CNN.
Raducanu's previous coach, Andrew Richardson, joined rejoined her team this year. He had reportedly worked with Raducanu as a young girl.
Raducanu said she has not chosen a new coach yet.
The 18-year-old became the first man or woman to win a grand slam tournament as a qualifier. Prior to the tournament, she was ranked outside the top 200.
After the win, she shot up to No. 22 in the world.

Uber's president Jeff Jones has joined the #deleteuber movement because he's come to realise the company's values aren't compatible with his own.
He signed off by saying the company has "thousands of amazing people at the company" and he wishes everyone at the company well.
But clearly Jones doesn't think his way of doing things is going to be respected at Uber, which belligerently enters markets in full knowledge its activities flout local law, sabotages regulators' efforts to police it, stands accused of turning a blind eye to institutional sexism and of stealing Google's autonomous car plans. It also lies about drivers' earnings and fights against workers organising.
We could go on but you get the picture: Uber pushes the limits so much it's even decided to hire a COO to help its senior executives avoid future excesses.
Jones was hired to give the company marketing expertise. A former chief marketing officer of retailer Target and executive veep of global marketing for apparel concern Gap, he was brought in get the ride-sharing-with-harassment-on-the-side company growing beyond early adopters. Uber needs to grow: it loses money and has, of late, bled customers too as the #deleteuber movement first sprang up over its support for the Trump administration and then gathered pace as sexism claims emerged.
Ironically, Jones' marketing expertise saw him reveal his departure and the rationale for it to the media before Uber was able to massage his departure. Jones indication that tactics and ethos that fuelled his career encountered resistance at Uber probably isn't what the company hoped he would do for its image.

Archimandrite Alexander [Golitzin] consecrated Bishop of Toledo and the Bulgarian diocese
ROSSFORD, OH [OCA]
Archimandrite Alexander [Golitzin] was consecrated Bishop of Toledo and the Bulgarian Diocese during a Hierarchical Divine Liturgy here at Saint George Orthodox Cathedral on Saturday, May 5, 2012.
His Beatitude, Metropolitan Jonah, presided at the consecration Divine Liturgy. Concelebrating were His Eminence, Archbishop Nathaniel; His Grace, Bishop Nikon; His Grace, Bishop Tikhon; His Grace, Bishop Benjamin; His Grace, Bishop Melchisedek, who served as Locum Tenens of the diocese; His Grace, Bishop Michael; His Grace, Bishop Matthias; His Grace, Bishop Irineu; His Grace, Bishop Mark; and His Grace, Bishop Irenee.
Joining members of the Bulgarian Diocese were clergy and faithful from sister OCA dioceses, other Toledo-area Orthodox parishes, monastics from Saint John of Shanghai Monastery in Manton, CA, Holy Transfiguration Monastery in Elwood City, PA, and Holy Dormition Monastery in Rives Junction, MI, together with representatives from St. Vladimir's Orthodox Theological Seminary, including seminary Dean, Archpriest John Behr, and a number of Bishop Alexander's former students from the USA and Canada.
A special guest taking part in the consecration was Bishop Alexander's brother, Protodeacon George Golitzin, who was representing Bishop Alexander's family. Also in attendance were representatives from the Theology Department of Marquette University. Another special guest at Friday evening's service was Bishop Leonard Blair, Roman Catholic Bishop of Toledo.
A choir including singers from parishes throughout the Bulgarian Diocese and guests from other OCA parishes sang the liturgical responses.
During the Liturgy, Bishop Alexander ordained Subdeacon Basil Frenchek to the diaconate.
On the evening of Friday, May 4, prior to celebrating Great Vespers, Bishop-elect Alexander made his public acceptance of his election. In his address he stated that, "when standing before the holy altar at the anaphora, the bishop images forth the one and unique High Priest, Christ, Who acts through His celebrant." He then added that, "while it is true that our Lord Jesus is true God and true King, it is also true that He did not come to us, His creatures, with the pomp and splendor of the King, attended by the legions of heaven, but rather in humility He emptied Himself and was found in the likeness of a servant."
Bishop-elect Alexander continued by saying, "They are very different images, the first set revelatory of the splendor of heaven, and the second of the humility, long-suffering, and charity of our Lord's life and ministry. My first conclusion is that I must keep this difference firmly in mind throughout my life as bishop, by which I mean the glory of the liturgical iconography should have no place in my office and day-to-day demeanor. My actions, my patterns of speech, my service in short, is to be determined by the example given us by God the Word Himself."
In June 2010, the Bulgarian Diocese initiated a search for a candidate to succeed His Eminence, Archbishop Kirill who reposed in the Lord in 2007. "Of the 22 possible candidates reviewed in the first phase of the search, after an intensive review process, two candidates were presented to the diocese's Fifth Congress-Sobor in June 2011," noted the diocesan Consecration Committee Chair, Archpriest Andrew Jarmus. "Bishop Alexander was the candidate elected by the Congress-Sobor's clergy and lay delegates."
In October 2011, the members of the OCA's Holy Synod of Bishops elected Archimandrite Alexander Bishop of Toledo and the Bulgarian Diocese.
Raised at Saint Innocent Church, Tarzana, CA, Bishop Alexander received a Bachelor of Arts degree in English from the University of California at Berkeley and a Master of Divinity degree from Saint Vladimir's Seminary. He spent seven years pursuing doctoral studies at Oxford University in England under His Eminence, Metropolitan Kallistos [Ware]. During this time, he also spent two years in Greece, including one year at Simonos Petras Monastery on Mount Athos.
After receiving his D.Phil. in 1980, Bishop Alexander returned to the US. He was ordained to the diaconate in January 1982 and to the priesthood two years later. In 1986, he was tonsured to monastic orders. He served OCA missions in northern California and headed the Diocese of the West's mission committee.
In 1989, Bishop Alexander took a teaching position with the Theology Department at Marquette University in Milwaukee, WI, a position which he left at the end of April this year. While teaching at Marquette University, he had been attached to Saints Cyril and Methodius Church, Milwaukee, WI. For 22 years he preached, taught and served at Saints Cyril and Methodius Church, and witnessed to the Gospel and to Orthodox Christian theology at Marquette University. He helped attract a dozen Orthodox Christian students to doctoral work in theology at Marquette.
Bishop Alexander becomes the second Bishop of Toledo and the Bulgarian Diocese. He succeeds His Eminence, the late Archbishop Kirill [Yonchev]. Archbishop Kirill had overseen the diocese from 1964 to 2007; in 1976, Archbishop Kirill brought the diocese under the omophorion of the Orthodox Church in America.
The Bulgarian Diocese includes 19 parishes and missions and one monastery.

James Tassie (1735–1799) was a Scottish gem engraver and modeller. He is remembered for a particular style of miniature medallion heads, portraying the profiles of the rich and famous of Britain, and for making and selling large numbers of "Tassie casts" of engraved gems for collectors.

Life
He was born of humble parentage at Pollokshaws, in Glasgow. During his earlier years he worked as a stonemason, but, having seen the collection of paintings brought together in Glasgow by Robert Foulis and Andrew Foulis, the printers, he removed to Glasgow, attended the academy which had been established there by the brothers Foulis, and became one of the most distinguished pupils of the school.

Subsequently, he visited Dublin in search of commissions, and there became acquainted with Henry Quin, who had been experimenting, as an amateur, in imitating antique engraved gems in coloured pastes. He engaged Tassie as an assistant, and together they perfected the discovery of an enamel, admirably adapted by its hardness and beauty of texture for the formation of gems and medallions. Quin encouraged his assistant to try his fortune in London, and thither he repaired in 1766. At first he had a hard struggle to make his way. But he worked on steadily with the greatest care and accuracy, scrupulously destroying all impressions of his gems which were in the slightest degree inferior or defective.Gradually the beauty and artistic character of his productions came to be known. He received a commission from the empress of Russia for a collection of about 15,000 examples; all the richest cabinets in Europe were thrown open to him for purposes of study and reproduction; and his copies were frequently sold by fraudulent dealers as the original gems. He exhibited in the Royal Academy from 1769 to 1791.
In 1775, he published the first catalogue of his works, a thin pamphlet detailing 2856 items.
This was followed in 1791 by a large catalogue, in two volumes quarto, with illustrations etched by David Allan, and descriptive text in English and French by Rudolf Erich Raspe, enumerating nearly 16,000 pieces. This handwritten catalogue, titled "A Descriptive Catalogue of a General Collection of Ancient and Modern Engraved Gems, Cameos and Intaglios, Taken from the Most Celebrated Cabinets in Europe; and Cast in Coloured Pastes, White Enamel, and Sulphur" is widely accessible. However, the complete collection of impressions gems are known only at Tassie's home in Edinburgh, Victoria and Albert Museum in London and the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg. Tassie sent the gems impressions that produced for Catherine II of Russia, in four deliveries between 1781 and 1781.

In addition to his impressions from antique gems, Tassie executed many large profile medallion portraits of his contemporaries, and these form the most original and definitely artistic class of his works. They were modelled in wax from the life or from drawings done from the life, and when this was impossible from other authentic sources.
They were then cast in white enamel paste, the whole medallion being sometimes executed in this material; while in other cases the head only appears in enamel, relieved against a background of ground-glass tinted of a subdued color by paper placed behind.
His first large enamel portrait was that of John Dolbon, son of Sir William Dolbon, Bart., modelled in 1793 or 1794; and the series possesses great historic interest, as well as artistic value, including as it does portraits of Adam Smith, Sir Henry Raeburn, Drs James Beattie, Hugh Blair, Black and Cullen, and many other celebrated men of the latter half of the 18th century.

At the time of his death, in 1799, the collection of Tassie's works numbered about 20,000 pieces.

His nephew William Tassie followed him in the business.

Legacy
In the 1830s, Tassie's pieces continued to be sold, and H. Laing, engraver and manufacturer of James Tassie's composition seals was selling licensed copies of Tassie's work from a shop at 32 Princes Street in the centre of Edinburgh. Moreover, during the 19th century, Andrew Dickson White, the first president of the Cornell University bought and offered to the University an extensive Tassie's daktyliotheca, purchased from a German manufacturer called Gustav Eichler (1801–77).

In 2008, a bar in the Shawlands area of Glasgow was renamed "The James Tassie" in his honour. This bar is affectionately known to regular patrons as "The Tassies".

Come join the MIT Club of San Diego to Celebrate Isaac Asimov's centennial.
January 2, 2020 marks the centennial of the birth of Isaac Asimov, the most prolific writer in US history and a colossus of science-fiction (I, Robot; Foundation series). Asimov authored or edited more than 500 books of astounding scope (including 9 of the 10 categories of the Dewey Decimal Classification).
Richard Lederer, language columnist for the Union-Tribune, will illuminate the literary Asimov and the man himself. Food and beverages (including wine and beer) will be served.
WHEN: Wednesday, January 22, 2020, 6:00 p.m. – 8:30 p.m.
WHERE: Takeda Pharmaceuticals, 9625 Towne Centre Dr, San Diego, CA 92121
To further whet your appetite, here is a collection of notable Asimov quotes:
Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent.
People who think they know everything are a great annoyance to those of us who do.
The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not 'Eureka!' (I've found it!), but 'That's funny…'
The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom.
Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It's the transition that's troublesome.
Never let your sense of morals get in the way of doing what's right.
I do not fear computers. I fear the lack of them.
If knowledge can create problems, it is not through ignorance that we can solve them.
Self-education is, I firmly believe, the only kind of education there is.

This year's Annual Alumni Mixer was another smashing success as more than forty alumni converged at the home of Tim '66 and Cindy Wollaeger.

9 September 2019, TSRI Auditorium
It was the distinct honor and privilege of the Yale Club of San Diego to welcome Yale University's twenty-third President Peter Salovey as our guest for a memorable and engaging event at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) Auditorium.
The evening began with local Alumni mingling with President Salovey and representatives of the Yale Alumni Association during a catered light hors d'oeuvres reception. The President's address discussed developing Yale programs and facilities notably in the science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields, strengthening partnerships worldwide, increasing access to a Yale College education, enhancing interdisciplinary collaboration and entrepreneurial opportunity for both faculty and students. He also detailed his goal to positioned the Yale community as it pursues its mission to improve the world today and for future generations.

As usual and as a complement to my previous post September U.S. Temperature – The trend is 0.07 deg F / Decade, I thought it would be interesting to look at the recent September US temperature from a "historic" perspective. To see how the decade trends have evolved during the last 111 years.
So the "warming trend" 2000-2011 for September is exactly 0.35 F degrees a decade. That is a whopping 3.5 F warmer in 100 years. Take cover!
The September trend 1980-2011 is exactly 0.61 F degrees a decade.
The September trend 1990-2011 is exactly 0.46 F degrees a decade.
The September trend 2000-2011 is exactly 0.35 F degrees a decade.
The official September temperature figures are out. And it is down a little: – 0.16 deg F compared with September last year.
And the "warming trend" 1900-2011 is exactly 0.07 F degrees a decade. That is a whopping 0.7 F warmer in 100 years. The sweat is really breaking out!
Notice the rise from 1918 to 1919. A rise of 7.93 F degrees.
And the dramatic drop from 1917 to 1918. A drop of – 4.46 F degrees.
A total change of a whopping 12.39 F degrees in two years. Talking about a temperature roller coaster.
And notice the dramatic rise from 1985 to 1986. A rise of 8.36 F degrees.
And the dramatic drop from 1911 to 1912. A drop of – 8.07 F degrees.
There are other years in the chart when the temperature increases 5 – 7 F in one year. And still, somehow mysteriously, USA went on as normal.
But an ACTUAL RISE OF 8.36 F degrees IN ONE YEAR is nothing.
And an ACTUAL CHANGE OF 12.39 F degrees in two years is also is nothing to bother about.
So we can easily survive an actual change of temperature of 12.39 F degrees in two years. But a "predicted", (by these "eminent" Global Warming Hysteric "scientists" and their models which cannot predict the weather one week from now), rise of 3- 4 F degrees in 100 years is a total catastrophe for humankind.

Home Cover Stories How to Manage Career Transitions
How to Manage Career Transitions
Downsized workers are not the people who should be looking for jobs. "They're feeling trampled. They're not seeing all of their gifts," says Linda Sepe, a personal and business coach who is now getting calls from people have recently gotten the tap on the shoulder. "It's not as bad as it was four years ago," she says of the new crop of lay-offs in central New Jersey, but for those affected it is bad enough. No matter how long "downsizing" has been part of the business vocabulary, no matter how many stories of mass lay-offs make headlines, individuals are still shocked to see their own personal pink slip.
"A woman called just yesterday," Sepe recounts. "One month ago she had been told her job was absolutely secure. The day before yesterday, she was laid off." The newly unemployed woman has two children in college. Fortunately, she also has a spouse in the workforce, and therefore, a little maneuvering room. "She's interested in considering a whole different set of interests," Sepe says. "In just one day, she had done an assessment and realized all the advancing she had done was because of hard won skills, but also because of flattery." She enjoyed the flattery, and happily accepted the promotions she was offered, but didn't especially enjoy the work they brought her. "It didn't fascinate her," is the way Sepe puts it. She will be working with Sepe at identifying just what kind of work will.
About half of Sepe's clients are in career transition, and many of the rest are individuals with attention deficit disorder, who recognize, perhaps because they see their children struggling with the hereditary condition, that their career progress is being impeded by characteristic ADHD behaviors, which include difficulty with organization and time management. Sepe has been coaching this mix of clients for seven years. She speaks on "Smart Ideas for Developing Your People and Yourself: Coaching the Soul," on Tuesday, March 5, at 7:30 a.m. at the Main Street Bistro and Bar in the Princeton Shopping Center at an event organized by Lindenberger Group Consulting. Judith Lindenberger speaks on "The New Rules of Mentoring" at the event. Cost: $75 for one talk, $100 for both. Call 609-730-1049.
Sepe, a graduate of Syracuse University (Class of 1964), has been through career transitions herself, accumulating diverse skills along the way. In the late 1960s and early '70s, she worked in educational research for the Syracuse Research Corporation. There she developed an alternative to the G.E.D. test that confers a high school diploma on adults who never finished high school. At that time, she recalls, "more than half of the adults in New York State did not have high school diplomas, and more than half of those people were women."
Sitting for the test was terrifying for women who had been out of the classroom, and very likely in the home, for decades. Sepe developed an alternative, an applied test mechanism. "We asked them to measure a room. We said `How would you purchase a major appliance?'" So successful was the program that Sepe traveled around the country teaching education departments how to administer it. Then she took a full-time job with the Maryland State Education Department.
After her son, now a freshman at Rutgers, was born, she took her career in another direction. "I'm a foodie," she says. "I started a cooking school and catering business." She ran the business for six years before selling it to her partner and moving to New Jersey in 1990. Here she worked for the Private Industry Council and then for the Mill Hill Child and Family Development Center in Trenton.
Then an encounter in the sweet potato aisle of her supermarket changed her life. "A friend told me about coaching," she says. Back then, in 1995, the concept of coaching was new on the east coast. Sepe learned that the Newgrange School was holding the first coach training program in the area, and she signed up.
"There are many natural coaches," Sepe says. "You know if you're one of them." She knew. Right away. "I knew that was what I was doing when I was teaching cooking and developing new education programs," she says. "I was just a natural. I started immediately." Within two months, her Hopewell-based practice had a solid roster of clients.
Sepe says she couldn't be happier in her work, and it is now her mission to help clients say the same thing. It isn't always easy, especially when the sting of a lay-off is fresh, but she suggests the following steps:
Be glad. Yes, it can sound cruel. And, yes, it has become a platitude. But lay-off veterans often say the push out the door was the best thing that ever happened to them. Says Sepe, "think about the lay-off as a wonderful opportunity to reassess what you want, need, think, and value, and about all the skills you have."
She acknowlegdes that this is not easy. "It's a monster transition," she says, a major life event, right up there with marriage or with integrating an elderly relative into a home full of teen-agers.
Try not to act out of a singular need. Some people state their goals as: I need to get a job that pays $150,000. Period. Completely focused on that narrow goal, and in a big hurry to achieve it, they miss a trove of opportunities. "I've coached people who have made bad decisions," says Sepe. "The were thinking only about the need, and the speed. They say `I'll take any job for $150,000.' They're not confirming all of their skills and energy to focus on a new enterprise."
Talk out loud. Sepe advocates a kind of networking that is different from the get-an-in-at-a-good-company kind of thing that is what most think of when they hear the word. She suggests reviewing all the of things you most enjoy doing, and then talking to people who are doing them. "It gets your imagination running," says Sepe. "You think of the world in a whole new way."
Scan all your skills. The market for the skill that has brought you a paycheck may have shrunken — or disappeared. Don't panic. "Maybe," suggests Sepe, "you know more about roses than anyone else." You are more than a retail executive or a bank officer. Look to all of your skills for career ideas.
Make a schedule. Write down all the hours you are awake, subtract necessary activities, things like eating and driving the kids to school. Then make conscious decisions about what to do with the remaining hours. Decide, for example, to work on the job search from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., and to devote specific segments of the rest of the day to exploring new activities, catching up with old friends, taking a class, or hanging out with your kids.
This is especially helpful for anyone who has been booted from a job. It is all too easy to fall into depression. "When you lose a job, you lose control. You lose focus," says Sepe. Using time productively — and pleasurably too — provides a sense of control, and satisfaction.
Move around. "Exercise, exercise, exercise," says Sepe. Strenous physical activity releases endorphins, providing a powerful sense of well-being. Downsized workers need all the endorphins they can get.
When clients get in touch with Sepe right after a lay-off, they are, she says, "in a state of confusion." Many have no idea what to do next. When clients arrive after weeks — or months — of unemployment, they are "much more discouraged."
Sepe's goal is to replace confusion and discouragement with possibilities. "I ask hard questions," she says. In doing so, she prompts people at a difficult time in their lives to discover what it is they are truly meant to do. What will get them out of bed each morning with energy and enthusiasm.
Those who are open to all options may be lucky enough to find themselves in front of a bin of sweet potatoes at just the right minute, and to seize upon an interesting option. Just as Sepe did.

Here's what's missing – Skift
In: Hotel empire
Sonesta International Hotels Corp. officially became one of the largest hotel companies in the world this month after closing a $ 90 million acquisition of RLH Corp., the parent company of Red Lion Hotels.
Sonesta has not finished growing up. The company officially launched on Tuesday a merged network to franchise the brand's flags to new owners. The aim is to attract new owners to the eight RLH brands as well as to the Sonesta Hotels & Resorts, Sonesta Select, ES Suites and Simply Suites pavilions.
Sounds good, doesn't it? But some big pieces are still missing. Business leaders recognize that they must now quickly adopt big-brand strategies around franchise and loyalty programs to maintain momentum.
Find all the hotel development news you need with Early Check-In, which arrives every Monday morning for Skift Pro subscribers.
"We are turning a bunch of plates right now, but it's important work for us," said Carlos Flores, CEO of Sonesta, in an exclusive interview with Skift about the brand's next steps in growth.
Flores and Keith Pierce, who now oversee the combined company's franchise division, have run a major awareness campaign among RLH franchise owners since the acquisition was announced late last year. Part of that talk is about stabilization and retention – competing hotel companies like Wyndham and Choice Hotels are kind of on a mission to convince existing hotel owners to accept one of their brand affiliations.
These deals, known as conversions, are increasingly popular with hotel companies during the pandemic as loans are tight for new construction projects. Converting an existing hotel to another brand always costs money, but it's not as expensive. Sonesta sees a lot of its future franchise deals going through conversions, at least when construction loans are so tight.
But the leaders of the rapidly growing company recognize the need to find a way to better compete through its loyalty program. Companies like Marriott and Wyndham all present their loyalty programs and distribution channels as top value propositions in discussions with potential franchisees.
Sonesta has a loyalty program, but the pre-acquisition company only had around 300 hotels. RLH operates a loyalty program, but not a tiered or points-based system that would be on par with a Marriott Bonvoy or Hilton Honors platform.
"Loyalty programs have become the glue and the thread that binds all of these brands together in mega-businesses," said Pierce. "I guess you will see that a lot of work will be done in the Sonesta business with the current loyalty program on the Sonesta side and the one on the RLH side where we find out how we can bring these [brands together]. "
The only downside to migrating to a points-based system is convincing franchise owners that it's worth it. Loyalty points serve as a type of currency, but this type of program adds about 5% of spending to an individual overnight stay for franchisees, Pierce said. Ultimately, it becomes another franchise right.
"What will define successful execution is whether franchisees find value in a points-based program," said Flores. "We have to tackle the issue of whether you can triple or quadruple your loyalty, but now you have overhead. "
While they weren't ready to give details on what Sonesta's future combined loyalty program would look like, Flores and Pierce clearly see the value of something akin to a Bonvoy or Wyndham Rewards.
"There are a lot of consumers who travel who have a lot of points and want to keep building those points," Pierce said. "If they have a choice with two assets side by side, if they have a lot of points, they'll generally go in the direction where they can continue to build those points. "
Growth and retention
It's no secret that Sonesta has big ambitions for growth. The company has grown from less than 100 hotels at the start of the pandemic to nearly 300 before the RLH deal was struck due to IHG and Marriott's defaults with Service Properties Trust, or SVC – a Boston real estate trust that also owns a 34% stake in Sonesta.
The acquisition of Red Lion brings Sonesta's global footprint to approximately 1,200 hotels and 15 brands. The deal also brings stronger franchising capabilities that Sonesta did not have prior to the acquisition, which will almost certainly lead to significant growth. The larger scale allows for stronger purchasing power in everything from vendors to technology providers and online travel agencies.
The company plans to focus its franchise expansion in North America before expanding further in Latin America. Flores was not prepared to give a specific growth target or a projected number of properties as he has done in the past.
"We envision significant unit growth on the franchise side. Keith is not there just to keep the existing portfolio, "he added. "There is a lot of optimism, and you should expect to see a lot more growth from Sonesta."
But growth is not the only goal of Sonesta with its new RLH brands. Retaining current owners remains a key strategy, both in light of growing competition for conversion as well as franchisees' dissatisfaction with previous management groups.
Sonesta executives held discussions with the 27 members of the Red Lion, Americas Best Value and Knight's Inn brand franchise boards to better understand how to improve franchisee satisfaction.
"When you sell franchises, it's one thing to attract new people, but you have to keep the existing ones," Pierce said.
Avoid Brand Glut
Now that Sonesta is a major hotel player, some of the brand overlap companies like Marriott and Accor are also coming under fire.
Offerings include premium brand Royal Sonesta to extended stay brands like GuestHouse. But there's an overlap within the extended living space, as Sonesta's ES Suites brand and RLH's Americas Best Value Inn and Knights Inn also operate in the area.
Given the strength of extended stay hotels during the pandemic, Sonesta executives see an opportunity by offering multiple brands but at different prices.
Flores noted that the integrated network has much less overlap than what would have happened with other potential acquisition targets. Further brand updates are expected across the Sonesta network.
"We're making sure we're good stewards of the brand and harnessing all that value," he added. "When we have big brands, we want to create as much value as possible. "

Bureau veritas provides school of thought on asbestos and electrical safety
Campus Editor	Industry News
With the end of the summer term fast-approaching, Bureau Veritas is advising schools to kick off their annual holiday maintenance programmes with a focus on asbestos management and electrical safety.
Latest research shows that over 80% of schools across the UK have reported asbestos present in their buildings, with over seven million children at risk of exposure1. During the period 2006-2016, more than £10million in compensation was awarded to former pupils and members of staff exposed to asbestos in schools in England and Wales2.
In March 2018, the Department for Education introduced the Asbestos Management Assurance Process (AMAP), with the aim of collecting data on asbestos management in schools to ensure compliance with Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 and Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. At present, almost a quarter of schools in the UK have failed to inform the government of how much asbestos they have present in their buildings and how they are managing the risk3.
Meanwhile, when it comes to electrical safety, schools are required to carry out routine checks on fixed electrical installations every six months and formal fixed electrical testing every five years. If there is a swimming pool on site, formal inspection and testing must be done every 12 months.
Michael Kenyon, Technical Manager at Bureau Veritas, said: "Over the summer holidays many schools, colleges and universities will be embarking on their annual maintenance programmes. With an obligation to ensure that premises are safe for staff, pupils and visitors, our advice this summer is to pay particular attention to asbestos and electrical safety – ensuring robust checks and procedures are in place for effective management.
"In recent years, asbestos related deaths have increased significantly from an average of three per year during the 1980s to an average of 17 per year4. And given the government's tougher stance on compliance, a lack of reporting suggests that many in the education sector may be unaware of their obligations in regards to asbestos management.
"Similarly, neglecting fixed electrical testing not only puts students, staff and visitors at risk in terms of their safety, but educational establishments could also face a hefty fine for failing to comply with Health & Safety at Work Act (1974) and Electricity at Work Regulations (1989). It is therefore imperative schools are doing everything they can in terms of electrical safety and to control and eradicate the serious risk posed by asbestos exposure."
Bureau Veritas offers a comprehensive range of services to help businesses and organisations, including schools, in achieving and maintaining asbestos control and electrical safety compliance. This includes electrical testing, building surveys, annual re-inspections, project management of asbestos remediation, site risk assessments, air monitoring, four stage clearance air testing, laboratory sample analysis – all of which can be undertaken within the school holidays.
