Biografia
Nel 1976 lavora come Giornalista nella prima radio libera italiana: Radio Città Futura, della quale, in seguito, diventa uno dei responsabili. Nel 1979 pubblica per Rosenberg&Sellier il libro Movimento Settantasette, Storia di una lotta, con Piero Bernocchi, Paolo D'Aversa e Raffaele Striano.
Dal 1979 lavora all'Ufficio Stampa della casa di produzione cinematografica Gaumont Italia presieduta da Renzo Rossellini.
Dal 1981 è direttore di Laboratorio Cinema, società di distribuzione cinematografica di film di qualità, in associazione con diverse testate giornalistiche e la RAI TV 3.
Dal 1987 è vice presidente della Società di produzione cine/tv Europa Cine 2000.

Negli anni successivi realizza diversi documentari e reportage in Italia, Colombia e Brasile, collaborando con i programmi Mixer di Rai 2, Samarcanda di Rai 3 e con la rubrica Insieme del TG3. Per Mixer è anche autore di due inchieste monografiche sulla riproduzione assistita e sul delitto del commissario Ammaturo. Nello stesso periodo collabora con Radio Radicale ed è corrispondente per Il Corriere di San Paolo.

Nel 1990 realizza assieme a Stefano Calanchi e Silvana Pisa La pantera, un lungometraggio sulle lotte degli studenti universitari a Roma, Bologna, Palermo e Napoli. È autore del reportage Le Dimissioni Impossibili, sulla condizione dei malati psichiatrici. Realizza il documentario Tante Televisioni per Tutti e non Tutte per Uno per il Comitato Nazionale Referendum sulla Mammì.

Dal 1995 al 2009 è inviato del programma di Rai 3 Chi l'ha visto? per il quale realizza oltre 450 servizi filmati; negli stessi anni collabora anche al programma In nome del popolo italiano e, per Rai 1, al programma Uno di notte.

Il periodo a "Chi l'ha Visto?"
Nei quindici anni di collaborazione a Chi l'ha visto? ha realizzato importanti inchieste giornalistiche su casi di interesse nazionale. Dall'omicidio del metronotte Gianni Terra, che rischiava di finire archiviato come suicidio, all'omicidio con il cianuro di una giovane studentessa avvenuto a Roma. In questo caso l'inchiesta televisiva ha contribuito in maniera determinante alla liberazione prima, e poi all'assoluzione definitiva della giovane studentessa Daniela Stuto, accusata ingiustamente di aver avvelenato la sua amica.

L'omicidio del giovane Filippo Guarracino avvenuto a Cancún (Messico), pestato dalla polizia e lasciato morire in ospedale; in questo caso il Console Onorario e le autorità locali sostenevano che il giovane fosse invece morto per una semplice overdose.
In questi servizi e in altri, lo scrupoloso lavoro di inchiesta ha consentito svolte importanti nelle indagini in corso, contribuendo a volte anche alla loro risoluzione.
Ha realizzato inoltre reportage in Albania, Cecoslovacchia, Romania ed Ucraina, in Tunisia e in Marocco, in Messico, a Cuba, in Colombia e in Argentina.

Le precise ed accurate ricerche da parte del giornalista riguardo alla sparizione della logopedista Marina Di Modica, avvenuta a Torino l'8 maggio 1996, hanno contribuito ad un importante passo in avanti delle indagini, le quali hanno permesso di collegare la scomparsa della quarantenne con quella di un'altra donna svanita nel nulla sette anni prima, Camilla Bini, collega ed amica del filatelico Paolo Stroppiana, condannato dalla Corte d'Appello di Torino ad una pena di quattordici anni di reclusione per omicidio preterintenzionale ed occultamento di cadavere ai danni della persona di Marina Di Modica.

Nella seconda metà degli anni novanta alcuni omicidi a sfondo sessuale martoriarono la città di Torino, per di più le vittime erano tutte prostitute. Mentre gli inquirenti brancolavano nel buio, la troupe di Compagnoni riuscì per prima a decifrare il mistero, scoprendo con grande sconcerto che il serial killer Maurizio Minghella proprio nel periodo degli omicidi era in semilibertà.
Dopo alcune scorribande i Carabinieri fermarono il Minghella e lo incastrarono grazie alla prova del DNA.

Dal 2000 in poi il regista si è occupato di altri numerosi misteri italiani, come il sequestro e l'uccisione di un camionista in Repubblica Ceca, l'assassinio di Massimo Ubert, l'omicidio di Katia Gabrielli, la scomparsa del giovane Nicola Bevilacqua, l'incredibile sparizione dell'imprenditore pugliese Giovanni Arsieni, avvenuta ad Istanbul; il giallo dell'imprenditore umbro Gian Paolo Mommi, l'omicidio di Nicola Di Paolo, l'inspiegabile scomparsa di Maria Careglio.

Nel giugno 2001 viene trovato il corpo senza vita della giovane studentessa Serena Mollicone in un bosco nei pressi di Arce. Dopo pochi giorni la troupe guidata da Compagnoni inizia ad occuparsi del caso a tempo pieno, raccogliendo una consistente quantità di documentazione e materiale video; le indagini risultano fin dall'inizio macchinose, l'ambiente è omertoso e i depistaggi non si fanno attendere. Addirittura la troupe Rai durante lo svolgimento di alcune riprese nel luogo in cui è stato ritrovato il cadavere, coglie un giovane Carabiniere alla guida di un'auto identica a quella del padre della vittima poi dileguatasi a folle velocità e a fari spenti.

Il 20 aprile 2003, domenica di Pasqua, sparisce in pieno giorno da Aosta una giovane di origini coreane, Erika Ansermin. Da sette anni il reporter romano indaga sul caso, dopo aver portato alla luce alcuni sorprendenti retroscena della vita privata della giovane e del fidanzato di essa, un avvocato di nome Cristian, deceduto nel 2007 dopo una lunga malattia. Anche in questa vicenda numerosi depistaggi ed insabbiamenti ne hanno caratterizzato lo svolgimento: in un primo momento sembra si voglia far credere ad un suicidio, poi entrano in scena alcuni fantomatici avvistamenti, in un secondo momento viene seguita anche una pista Svizzera, dopo poco accantonata.
Il caso ad oggi rimane aperto.

Nel 2009 pubblica per Kaos edizioni il libro inchiesta Il Filatelico, dossier sul principale indagato per i casi Bini-Di Modica, l'agente di commercio della Bolaffi, Paolo Stroppiana.
Il libro ha riscosso un buon successo di vendite.

Music therapy used to help treat Alzheimer's patients.
Dancing isn't just fun, it can be good for your mind, body and spirit, especially for those who suffer from chronic illness or dementia. NY1's Marjie Mohtashemi has more in this Focus on Seniors report.
Some of the participants may suffer from memory loss, but the music brings back good memories from their past. "I like to dance because when I was a little girl I danced," said one participant. "I started to dance when I was a little girl." And even those who can't get up and dance can still move to the beat. "Even if your legs don't work as well anymore, the dancing is still here. It's still a part of you, so you can tell that people still just enjoy moving back and forth," said Hescock.
"I think it brings a certain joie de vivre to people no matter what their physical or mental status is. It makes them feel alive, it makes them feel like young women and men," said Merolla. So no matter what other difficulties they face, as long as these seniors are still kicking, they'll keep on dancing. "It feels good dancing a lot," said one dancer.

Katie Thurston Gets 'Messy' While Comparing Her 'Bachelorette' Exes to Taylor Swift 'Red' Songs
By Erin Crabtree
Red (Katie's Version). Katie Thurston reminisced about her relationships from season 17 of The Bachelorette while listening to Taylor Swift's new album, Red (Taylor's Version).
The Grammy winner, 31, has dealt with plenty of speculation about the inspiration behind the mixture of breakup songs and love songs that make up the record, which was released on Friday, November 12. Many fans believe some of the key tracks — including the new 10-minute version of "All Too Well" — are based on Swift's 2010 romance with Jake Gyllenhaal, though she has never confirmed the theory. Red originally dropped in October 2012 and is the most recent album to be rerecorded by the singer.
As for Thurston, 30, she also knows what it is like to date in the spotlight after starring on The Bachelorette earlier this year. A fan recently asked her via DM to "label ur contestants as songs on red," and after an overwhelming majority agreed in a November 11 Instagram Story poll that she should do it, she began her "12 Days of Messy" challenge.
The reality star weathered her fair share of ups and downs while on the ABC show. Michael Allio left ahead of the hometown dates because of his son. He revealed during the Men Tell All in July that he would like to give the relationship another shot, but Thurston shot him down at the time.
Greg Grippo then exited after his hometown date and a blowup fight with the former bank marketing manager. She lashed out at him during the After the Final Rose special that aired in August, but she later divulged via Twitter that the exes had "spoken privately and moved on."
After multiple surprise departures, Thurston got engaged to Blake Moynes during the August finale after he arrived late to her season. However, the pair announced their split in October after trying to make a long-distance relationship work.
Despite the public heartbreaks, the Washington native has not stopped searching for The One. "She's still hopeful on finding love but wants to make sure her head is in the right space," a source exclusively told Us Weekly earlier this month. "Right now, she's just figuring out what she wants to do in life. In her mind, her future was with Blake, so now she just has to start fresh and figure out her next steps."
For more hot celebrity news, listen to Us Weekly editors dish on top topics & trends with these clips from the Hot Hollywood Podcast!
Thurston chose to celebrate the last day of the challenge by teasing a potential romance with former contestant John Hersey. Following her "Begin Again" dedication to Hersey, who went home during week two, Us broke the news that the couple were dating.

Final Civil Action - Real Estate Agent and Two Borrowers Settled Allegation of Making a False Certification to HUD Regarding a Home Purchase Under the Federal Housing Administration Program
Published by the Department of Housing and Urban Development, Office of Inspector General on 2016-09-29.
Below is a raw (and likely hideous) rendition of the original report. (PDF)
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF
MEMORANDUM NO:
2016-CF-1812
TO:            Dane M. Narode
Associate General Counsel, Office of Program Enforcement, CACC
//signed//
FROM:          Christeen Thomas
Director, Joint Civil Fraud Division, GAW
SUBJECT:       Final Civil Action: Real Estate Agent and Two Borrowers Settled Allegation of
Making a False Certification to HUD Regarding a Home Purchase Under the
Federal Housing Administration Program
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Office of Inspector General
(OIG), conducted a civil fraud review of an alleged loan origination fraud scheme involving
borrowers purchasing a home in which the loan was insured under HUD's Federal Housing
Administration (FHA) program. The alleged scheme involved the submission of a false loan
application to obtain an FHA-insured loan on a home in San Diego, CA. The review was
initiated as a result of a referral from HUD's Santa Ana Homeownership Center, Quality
Assurance Division.
FHA provides mortgage insurance on loans made by FHA-approved lenders to creditworthy
borrowers to purchase one- to four-unit properties. To ensure that FHA-insured mortgage loans
are made to borrowers who intend to occupy the property for at least 1 year, FHA requires a
certification signed by the borrower(s). A borrower expressly certifies to the intent to occupy the
property when signing the uniform residential loan application. The borrower further certifies
that the information provided in the loan application is true and correct and must provide certain
documentation supporting that information as part of the overall loan application package.

RESULTS OF REVIEW
On February 11, 2016, the HUD Office of Hearings and Appeals filed a complaint against a real
estate agent and two borrowers under the Program Fraud Civil Remedies Act of 1986, 31 U.S.C.
(United States Code) 3801-3812, 1 as implemented by 24 CFR (Code of Federal Regulations) Part
28. The complaint alleged that the three respondents knowingly caused (1) the submission of
false, fictitious, or fraudulent statements, certifications, or documents to HUD in connection with
an application for an FHA-insured mortgage loan and (2) the submission to FHA of a false,
fictitious, or fraudulent claim for insurance benefits.
Specifically, the complaint alleged that a real estate agent had two borrowers falsely certify in
the loan application that they intended to reside in the San Diego, CA, property as their primary
residence. However, they did not live in the property or intend to do so. Instead, the borrowers
deeded the property to the real estate agent, who had intended to run a group home out of the
property. The group home business did not materialize, and the property went into foreclosure.
The complaint further alleged that materially false statements made by the two borrowers, at the
request of the real estate agent, caused the mortgage holder of the FHA-insured mortgage loan to
submit a false claim to FHA for $344,925 in insurance benefits.
All three respondents have entered into settlement agreements with HUD. HUD and the
respondents wished to seek a satisfactory resolution of their dispute without the expense and
uncertainty of further litigation. The agreements do not constitute an admission of liability, fault,
or wrongdoing by the three respondents or by HUD.
On July 7, 2016, the real estate agent entered into a settlement agreement to pay $5,000, with
$1,000 paid at the signing of the agreement and the remaining $4,000 due by September 15,
2016. On July 15, 2016, the first borrower entered into a settlement agreement to pay $5,000,
with $2,500 paid at the signing of the agreement and the remaining $2,500 due by October 15,
2016. On July 29, 2016, the second borrower entered into a settlement agreement to pay $1,000,
with $500 paid at the signing of the agreement and the balance due by October 15, 2016.

McKay's staff of designers and landscape architects understand and appreciate that before your customers or clients even set foot in your door, the landscaping that surrounds your store or office affects their overall customer experience.
Well designed, installed, and maintained hardscapes and softscapes set a premium aura. Your guests will carry that aura into your facility and thereafter associate it with your business.
Conversely, ragged landscaping starts you off at a disadvantage. It leaves a first impression that needs rehabilitation - before you have even met your prospect.
McKay's Design Studio bring the same commitment and understanding to site planning and landscape design for public and civic enterprises as they do for commercial outdoor spaces.
The quality of greenscapes found in and around a city, inside its parks, and elsewhere can quickly identify it as upscale, or in the process of renewal, and thereby a desirable place to live.
Such intangibles also influence the decisions of corporate site-selectors regarding expanding, locating, or relocating their companies in one city, town, or EDO over another.
Citizens entering a municipal office note the quality and condition of the building along with the landscaping that surrounds it. Thereby they anticipate the value of the employees and services found inside—for better or worse according to what they see.

START Trial demonstrates importance of early treatment – Who Will Pay?
On May 27th, 2015, the U.S. National Institute of Health released an article stating that the START Trial, short for Strategic Timing of Starting Antiretroviral Treatment, was stopped more than a year early after strongly conclusive findings made completing the trial unethical. The trial separated 4,685 enrolled HIV-positive men and women into two study groups: one in which antiretroviral treatment was started immediately – despite all of the patients having a CD4+ cell count above 500 – and the other in which treatment was not started until the patient's CD4+ cell counts fell below 350 or the patient experienced an AIDS-related event. The results that halted the continuation of the trial found that there was a 53% decreased risk of experiencing AIDS, serious non-AIDS events, or death among those enrolled in the early treatment group compared to those in the deferred treatment group (http://www.nih.gov/news/health/may2015/niaid-27.htm).
Based on these findings, federal health officials in the U.S.A. have issued new recommendations to immediately initiate antiretroviral treatment as soon as a person tests positive. The START Trial has made it very clear that initiating treatment as early as the time of diagnosis of HIV infection, as opposed to the current WHO guidelines of a CD4+ cell count of 350, has profound benefits for patients' health. But this recommendation raises serious issues about funding. Of the roughly 35 million people estimated to be living with HIV globally, less than 14 million are on treatment and, according to the New York Times, access to treatment for all people currently infected would be an endeavor that would cost approximately US$20 billion (http://www.nytimes.com/2015/05/31/opinion/sunday/treating-hiv-patients-before-they-get-sick.html?_r=1). Despite this hefty cost, AIDS officials are lauding the finding as the discovery that will finally put more money into treatment. They are also praising its potential for prevention, as those on regular treatment are 90% less likely to infect others (http://www.nytimes.com/2015/05/28/health/hiv-treatment-should-start-with-diagnosis-us-health-officials-say.html).
Findings from the START Trial clearly document the fact that access to antiretroviral treatment can significantly lower an HIV-positive person's chance of infecting another person, transitioning to AIDS, getting seriously ill, and ultimately dying. In light of this, it is no wonder that public health officials, including the executive director of UNAIDS, Michel Sidibé, are considering the START trial results a "defining moment" (http://www.nytimes.com/2015/05/28/health/hiv-treatment-should-start-with-diagnosis-us-health-officials-say.html). Unfortunately, the problem never will be that simple.
In spite of the scientific evidence, and widespread official recognition of the fact that starting treatment earlier for people living with HIV could have a major impact on ending the epidemic, there is little chance that this can be achieved given the reality of a trending decrease in financial resources and commitments for responding to the epidemic globally. The U.S.A. is the largest contributor to all HIV and AIDS funding but the projected budget for the 2016 fiscal year is $31.7 billion, with only $6.3 billion for global spending – a 3.7% decrease from 2015. Of the U.S. global funding for HIV and AIDS, only $1.1 billion will go towards the Global Fund, an 18% ($244 million) decrease from 2015. In addition to the decline of U.S. contribution to the Global Fund, international funding from the other donor governments started to plateau in 2008 at around $8.7 billion. Between 2011 and 2013, international funding continued to decrease to as low as $8.1 billion in 2013 (https://kaiserfamilyfoundation.files.wordpress.com/2014/07/7347-10-financing-the-response-to-hiv-in-low-and-middle-income-countries.pdf). This highlights the lack of global financial commitment, not just from the U.S.A. (http://kff.org/global-health-policy/fact-sheet/u-s-federal-funding-for-hivaids-the-presidents-fy-2016-budget-request/).
Given the current lack of adequate funding, the scientific evidence from the START Trial and amended WHO recommendations to initiate antiretroviral treatment at the time of diagnosis will not be enough to get treatment to the other 21 million people who are infected but have no access to treatment. In order to increase treatment access, a complex combination of changes needs to be made: global funding must increase, global priorities must refocus on HIV treatment and prevention, health systems in low and middle income countries must also be strengthened, and societal prejudice against those living with HIV (which is also driven by homophobia, classism, racism and gender inequality) must be addressed. None of these challenges are easy. They all point out the difference between what policy makers are saying about HIV and AIDS and the reality of a global epidemic that is still out of control.
International organizations and global leaders talk about this "end of AIDS" as a realistic future for 2030. But the reality is that less than half of the people who are infected with HIV are currently receiving treatment due to funding constraints caused by a combination of the global economic crisis and AIDS backlash (criticism that AIDS is receiving far more than its fair share of global funding compared to other diseases). This theme of the "end of AIDS" by 2030 has been popular since 2011, yet global spending on HIV and AIDS has consistently decreased. If the world is ever to succeed in truly ending the epidemic, we must confront the disparity between scientific findings, policy recommendations and guidelines, and the dwindling donor commitment to funding an effective response to the epidemic. As policymakers know very well, talk is cheap. It is time for action.

Q: Insert,Update and Delete Relationship in multiple tables I've tried many ways to get my desired output but I always end up with errors. I attempt to have this 3 tables (tbl_inventory_products,tbl_inventory_tools,tbl_inventory_equipments)

related in one table which is the tbl_inventory_items.
Is there any way to link this 3 tables in one table? so if I Update,Delete and Insert New in every table the destination table(tbl_inventory_items) will be Updated.

if possible I also want to make the tbl_inventory_items to do the same with 3 tables.
Every time I Update,Delete in tbl_inventory_items the 3 tables(tbl_inventory_products,tbl_inventory_tools,tbl_inventory_equipments) will be updated.
Also I want to fix the tbl_inventory_items where update in Item_ID is restricted only in Item_Name,Item_Description and the Date. I know it is very hard to understand what I want and also close to impossible but I really want to know if there is a way to get this.. if none Thank you.

NC teacher, church youth leader charged with indecent liberties with a child

Daniel Joseph Dyer. (Courtesy of the Cleveland County Sheriff's Office via WBTV, Jan. 29, 2020)
CLEVELAND COUNTY, N.C. (WBTV) – A Cleveland County math teacher, youth leader, and YMCA employee was arrested Tuesday and charged with indecent liberties with a child.
The investigation into 27-year-old Daniel Joseph Dyer began after the victim's parents found inappropriate messages on the child's cell phone — specifically the Grinder and Snapchat apps, according to deputies.
A forensic analysis was then done on Dyer's phone and charges were filed against him.
According to the Cleveland County Sheriff's Office, Dyer was a math teacher at Cleveland Early College, a part-time employee at the Kings Mountain YMCA, and a youth leader at Kings Mountain First Baptist.
The sheriff's office is asking parents of any children who came into contact with Dyer to check their child's cell phone for any inappropriate messages, and to check the department's Facebook page for a list of apps that are dangerous for children to have.
Dyer was arrested and given a $25,000 bond.
No further information has been released.

NC Executive Mansion to be lit up in honor of lives lost to COVID-19
RALEIGH, N.C. (WNCN) -- The North Carolina Executive Mansion will be illuminated in remembrance of the lives lost in the COVID-19 pandemic.
Gov. Roy Cooper announced Monday that the mansion will be lit up on Jan. 19 starting at 5:30 p.m.


BAGHDAD | Insurgents fired at least two rockets at Baghdad's Green Zone on Wednesday, just minutes after Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. wrapped up meetings with Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki expressing confidence that attempts to destabilize Iraq through violence will fail.
The sound of the rockets being fired could be heard on the side of the Tigris River opposite the Green Zone. People inside Mr. al-Maliki's office, where the meetings were held, were warned to stay inside.
It was the second such attack in as many nights while Mr. Biden met with American and Iraqi officials inside the Green Zone. After Mr. Biden's arrival Tuesday, four rockets were fired at the Green Zone in an attack that killed two Iraqi civilians.
The attacks were launched after Mr. Biden had retired for the night following meetings with American officials on the first day of his visit. Three suspects were detained for questioning, but later let go.
TEHRAN | Iran has replaced a reformist, pro-opposition cleric with a hard-liner to lead the prayer service on a key anti-Israel day this week, according to a state radio report Wednesday.
The announcement is a blow to Ayatollah Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, the powerful former president who sided with the opposition in Iran's postelection turmoil.
It is also an apparent move to sideline Ayatollah Rafsanjani ahead of anti-government rallies on Quds Day, called for by opposition activists. Ayatollah Rafsanjani traditionally hosts the sermon on Quds Day - an annual event that showcases Iran's anti-Israeli stance and is marked by government-organized rallies in support of the Palestinians and against Israel. Quds is Arabic for Jerusalem.
State radio said Ahmad Khatami - a hard-line cleric and supporter of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad - will lead this week's Friday prayers.
BEIJING | Chinese security forces uncovered a bomb-making operation in the volatile western region of Xinjiang, foiling plans to carry out attacks including suicide bombings, police said Wednesday.
Forces arrested six suspects and seized large amounts of bomb-making materials in the raids, according to a notice posted on the Public Security Ministry Web site.
Initial investigations showed the suspects had begun making bombs after deadly ethnic rioting in Xinjiang's capital Urumqi in July, the notice said.
BEIRUT | Lebanon's president designated Saad Hariri prime minister Wednesday, asking the Saudi- and U.S.-backed politician to take on the tough job of forming a new government for a second time.
Mr. Hariri was first designated prime minister in June, but stepped down last week, blaming rival politicians including the Iran- and Syria-backed Hezbollah for thwarting his attempts at forging a unity government including all Lebanon's main parties.
His move triggered consultations this week between President Michel Suleiman and lawmakers that resulted in Mr. Hariri, son of assassinated statesman Rafik Hariri, being nominated again.
BUDAPEST | Hungary said Wednesday it will accept a detainee from Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, inching President Obama closer to his pledge to close the U.S. military detention center.
The country will choose from a short list of Guantanamo prisoners in the coming days and the released detainee will participate in an 18-month integration program, Prime Minister Gordon Bajnai said.
STRASBOURG, France | The European Parliament gave Jose Manuel Barroso another five-year term as European Commission president Wednesday, but its vote bared lingering misgivings about the conservative former Portuguese prime minister.
Mr. Barroso, 53, was the only candidate when the 736-member EU assembly voted 382-219, with 117 abstentions, to back him for a second term as the EU's top executive. The EU's 27 national government leaders had unanimously nominated Mr. Barroso for the position in June.

ICE allegedly targeted Washington Motel 6 guests with "Latino-sounding names"
At least six Motel 6 locations in Washington state regularly shared information on their guests with Immigration Customs and Enforcement, a lawsuit filed Wednesday by Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson alleges. In total, the facilities are accused of sharing the private information of more than 9,000 guests; six of those people were subsequently detained by ICE.
"This information was provided on an almost daily basis by some motels without the ICE agents having provided any documentation or evidence of reasonable suspicion, probable cause, or a search warrant for the requested guest registry information," the lawsuit states. "Motel 6 was aware that the ICE agents used the guest registry information to identify and single out guests based on national origin, including guests with Latino-sounding names."
Ferguson's lawsuit was sparked by a September report in the Phoenix New Times that said two Phoenix-area Motel 6 facilities regularly shared information about their hotel guests with ICE. This practice reportedly led to the detention of at least 20 people there.
"That might be only the beginning. I'm sure this lawsuit is going to uncover more information that we don't know," said Jorge Barón, executive director of the Northwest Immigrant Rights Project. "So I certainly have real concerns that this actually [was] something that was happening at a national level."
If ICE agents did target Motel 6 guests using their last names, they may have discriminated against people by national origin, which is illegal under Washington state law. That might enable an immigration lawyer to challenge the arrest, Barón explained.
In a statement, Motel 6 reiterated that it already asked its hotels to stop sending ICE information after the New Times' initial report. Motel 6 also previously acknowledged that some of its Phoenix locations shared information with ICE, but said "this was undertaken at the local level without the knowledge of senior management."
"In September, Motel 6 issued a directive to every one of our more than 1,400 locations, making it clear that they are prohibited from voluntarily providing daily guest lists to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)," its Wednesday statement reads. "Motel 6 takes this matter very seriously, and we have and will continue to fully cooperate with the Office of the State Attorney General."
Christopher Strawn, who heads the Immigration Law Clinic at the University of Washington School of Law, said it's uncommon for immigration lawyers to worry about clients staying in hotels. But now, he says, he'd llikely advise them not to stay at a Motel 6.
"I think it would only be reasonable to advise people not to put themselves at any potential risk, even if they weren't at any potential danger, even if they weren't undocumented but only had a pending process," he explained. "Why inject ICE into that?"

New restaurants may not have a full grasp of their equipment needs just yet. It is definitely a learning experience when just starting out. That is why many chose the option of restaurant equipment leasing to figure out what it is they may need to go ahead and purchase, what items they would like to continue leasing and which they can do without.

Giuliani reverses: Trump should interview with Mueller
By Jacqueline Thomsen - 05/23/18 03:16 PM EDT
President Trump Donald John TrumpPompeo changes staff for Russia meeting after concerns raised about top negotiator's ties: report House unravels with rise of 'Les Enfants Terrible' Ben Carson: Trump is not a racist and his comments were not racist MORE's attorney Rudy Giuliani in a reversal on Wednesday said that he now believes that Trump should interview with special counsel Robert Mueller Robert (Bob) Swan MuellerTop Republican considered Mueller subpoena to box in Democrats Kamala Harris says her Justice Dept would have 'no choice' but to prosecute Trump for obstruction Dem committees win new powers to investigate Trump MORE.
"I guess I'd rather do the interview. It gets it over with it, it makes my client happy," Giuliani told The Washington Post. "The safe course you hear every lawyer say is 'don't do the interview,' and that's easy to say in the abstract. That's much harder when you have a client who is the president of the United States and wants to be interviewed."
Giuliani has cast doubt on Trump interviewing with Mueller in the past. He told The Wall Street Journal in an interview published Tuesday that if he were to make a decision on the interview at that time, he would decide against it.
The former New York City mayor told the Post that Trump has vacillated over whether he wants to interview with Mueller in the probe into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election and possible collusion between Trump's campaign and Moscow.
"There have been a few days where he says, 'maybe you guys are right,'" Giuliani said, referring to members of Trump's legal team who have warned him against talking with Mueller.
"Then he goes right back to, 'why shouldn't I?'" he added.
Giuliani also said that he is concerned that a Trump interview with Mueller could be set up to catch the president on a possible perjury charge because "truth is relative."
"They may have a different version of the truth than we do," Giuliani said.
The lawyer also said that he believes Mueller's team wouldn't ask about any events that took place during Trump's presidency. CNN reported Tuesday that the president's lawyers are seeking to limit questions on Trump's conduct after his inauguration and on possible obstruction of justice.
Trump has said in the past that he would be willing to sit down with Mueller and reportedly believes doing so would clear his name.
"I would love to speak, but I have to find that we're going to be treated fairly because everybody sees it right now and it is a pure witch hunt," the president told reporters last month.
Mueller reportedly suggested to Trump's lawyers earlier this year that he would subpoena Trump if he did not agree to an interview.

Grab some coffee. I want to tell you about the house o' rest.
This will be no majestic mansion interwebs home tour. More of a testimony of a family that God is giving a season of rest and peace too, and maybe a little bit of a "before" as we're in the middle of giving it a little update.
My favorite spot in the house of rest. if I sit on the dryer in the kitchen, I can see over almost the whole house. Also, it is the warmest spot in the house on chilly mornings.
For about three solid years, I've felt overwhelmed. Too much to do, too many responsibilities, rushed, ill-equipped, tired, and running from thing to thing. Some of that has been good old fashioned lies I've been believing – like imagining that God surely picked the wrong mom for this family and this story that He's written us, and some of it has just been poor planning on our part. For whatever reason, I'm beyond thrilled that He's given us the grace of this season to catch up. During those years – we always made it. He always has given us just enough money, just enough energy, just enough community, just enough of His grace and wisdom to make it daily. But in every way, this house represents the opposite of that to me. More than enough, more than we deserve.
the lighting fixture I'd pick if this were our dream home. But it's just already there. I love that every time Elias and Glory look at it, they talk about Jesus dying on the cross to rescue us, you know - "like the backyardigans rescue people".
It might seem like very little to everyone else, but to me it's the most beautiful thing that we have so little and have time to steward it well. For example – we have about 3 pots, six plates, 2 adult cups, 1 bathroom, and between Nick and I; about ¼ a closet full of clothes. Do you know how easy it is to steward and take care of 3 pots, six plates, 2 adult cups, 1 bathroom and ¼ closet full of clothes? If you spend about an hour a day, your whole house is spotless. Rest. Blessing. More than we deserve.
one of my views from the dryer. thank you Father. And yes! the fireplace works!
We have three silly, goofy, rambunctious, loud, beautiful, amazing, sinful children. For so long – three silly, goofy, rambunctious, loud, beautiful, amazing, sinful children has seemed like such a task to manage. To plan for, to feed, to care for, to shepherd, to discipline, and to enjoy them was an awful lot because we were always doing something else too. Running a maternity home, having a Daddy in school, preparing to plant a church. Even mothering my children in the midst of feeling the burden to already be a great mom was too much. For right now, for this season - God has called us to nothing but our family and preparing for the season to come. Nick is the pastor of our family alone, I feel no pressure to be the mom I think I'm supposed to be, only the mother the Lord is making me to be. And I'm trusting that through this little time of catch-up, when we're ready to go, we'll be ready to go; ready to take on more responsibility. But today – it is beautiful to only be expected to do this well, and to feel for once, as if that is truly attainable through the grace the Lord has given.

"I don't want to have a dream," she says. I brush her sandy hair back, put my hand on her forehead, and look straight into her big brown eyes. "You are not going to have a dream," I tell her, with crisp, confident enthusiasm. Her body releases its tension, and she goes to sleep. I leave the room, hoping that what I promised but have no control over will be true. That's what we do. All of us. We make well-intentioned promises of protection we can't always keep. I'll look out for you. But then you hear a scream and you decide it's some teenagers playing around. A young man jumping a fence is taking a shortcut. The gunshot at 3 a.m. is a firecracker or a car backfiring. Awaiting you is the cold, hard floor and a conversation that may lead nowhere; you collapse onto your warm pillow and turn back to sleep."
If you are into true crime stories in any way, stop what you are doing, RUN to your nearest bookstore and read this book. RIGHT. NOW. Michelle McNamara's incredible story of the Golden State Killer is hands down one of my favorite reads of the year and also secures a spot on my list of best books of all time. Yes, it's that good. Michelle's attention to detail, her obsession with bringing the killer to justice and her amazing skill as a writer leaps off of each page. I am not ashamed to say that I got up several times and checked to make sure my doors were locked as I was reading (and I read this in broad daylight on Sunday afternoon). I flew through this meticulous and comprehensive work in a matter of hours and then spent the rest of the day going down the rabbit hole reading all the articles I could find on the recently captured Joseph James DeAngelo, Jr. To know that this man has walked among us for over 30 years since his last known committed crime is absolutely terrifying. Thank you so Patton Oswalt for your tireless efforts to ensure that Michelle's work was published and that her incredible gift for investigative research was shared with us all. I am in awe of her talent and tenacity. ALL THE STARS for this brilliant work.


Age of a New Dawn?
I have been silently observing and studying the coming elections and reading the articles and comments . And one particular topic caught my attention and i just thought id write a short note about it. The topic i wanted to talk about here is the age of Brig.T. Sailo. having read comments about how hes too old to run for the CM post, is ridiculous. I personally believe that he was the best CM Mizoram has had so far and still could be the best we ever have. And i know a lot of you would agree with me when i say that his love for Mizoram and his integrity is uncomparable to anyone of the other candidates. But before i get too deep into that let me list down a few political leaders around India who are over 80 years old.
1. Prakash Singh Badal 81 years old punjab CM.
2. M. Karunanidhi 84 years old Tamil Nadu CM.
3. L.K Advani 81 years old Leader of opposition party.
The list goes on but the point is not the age but the drive, the vision for economic prosperity, the integrity. and i Believe Brig.T sailo has more of these than anyone of the rest. you may agree or you may disagree but hisotry speaks for itself and its there to be verified for anyone who doubts this. This note might sound very biased but im honestly tired of the visionless Cms we have had over the past few years. Isn't it time for a change?, havent we had enough of false promises and corrupt Cm's who are eating Mizoram alive?. And the only person i see capable of rescuing Mizoram from the Dump were in is Him.

NEWS STORY: Lessons from electrons

Study of electrons in space could help weather forecasting
Researchers have discovered a formerly undetected impact of space weather on the polar atmosphere, which may explain some previously unexplained variations in winter weather patterns. Their results, published today (Tuesday 14 October), in the journal Nature Communications could have important implications for seasonal weather forecasting.
The international team from the Finnish Meteorological Institute, Otago University and British Antarctic Survey (BAS) studied data from three different satellites over an 11 year period. They found that energetic electrons (highly charged particles created by the sun) from the outer radiation belt hitting the Earth's atmosphere cause ozone loss high above the Earth.
Vast quantities of energetic electrons are found in the Earth's radiation belts, trapped there by the Earth's magnetic field. During magnetic storms, which are driven by the solar wind, the electrons accelerate to high speeds and 'rain' into the atmosphere at the poles. The temporary, but frequent, ozone loss occurring as a result of these 'rains' may explain changes in wind patterns which affect regional winter temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere by a maximum of plus or minus 5 degrees centigrade. The variation in temperature is only seen during winter because of the complex linkages from space through to the Earth's surface.
BAS co-author Dr Mark Clilverd says, "This is an exciting piece of research because it shows us a key part of the chain-reaction of how electrons affect ozone at higher latitudes and can ultimately affect weather systems – a link that we didn't truly understand before. It could contribute to data for weather forecasting, for instance to show us when Europe is likely to experience an especially cold winter."

Q: What limitations does the Python GIL place on multithreading? (with example) I'm having trouble getting clarity on this.
I have a program, say, with three threads - A, B and C.
C is a 'hardware manager', A and B perform their own tasks using APScheduler for scheduling and as part of their routines, make requests of the hardware manager thread.
If I use a time.sleep() in thread C (sometimes necessary to wait on certain hardware-related things to complete), can other methods on thread C be called?
eg. 'A' asks 'C' to turn on a relay which powers a modem. The method incorporates a sleep(), so once it returns, 'A' can expect a network connection to be present.
During this time though, 'B' might request a battery voltage reading from an ADC.
Should I expect 'B' to be stuck waiting for the first method call to return?

A: OK, so practically speaking, I think the answer is that time.sleep() will yield to other waiting threads.
Perhaps other limitations or concerns will rear their heads in time, but at this stage, performance is not the issue, only concurrency.

GeographyEdit
The state is covered mostly by jungle of the Amazon Rainforest. About three-fifths of the state has had the jungle removed since the 1970s. Most of the people living in the state now live in urban areas. It is a big exporter of wood. The state also makes both coffee and cocoa. The breeding of cattle is also important here.
FlagEdit
The flag was made by Silvio Carvalho Feitosa. It was made the flag of the state on December 22, 1981. The flag uses the same colors of the flag of Brazil. The big star in the middle of the flag is a symbol for the new state. The star is shown rising into the blue sky that is stretching over Brazil (the yellow and green areas in the lower half of the flag).
TribesEdit
The Akuntsu tribe is one of the tribes of Rondônia. They are one of the indigenous peoples of Brazil. They were first contacted in only 1995. At that time, there were only seven people in the tribe. As of 2006, there were six people. They live in the Igarape Omere region to the southwest of Rondônia. The tribe consists of chief Kunibu Baba (male, age: ~ 70), Pupak (male, age: ~ 40), Ururu (female, age:~80) and three women with ages from 23-35. The seventh member of the tribe died in 1995. The only child born after that died in 2000 in a storm. With his death the only hope of the tribe not becoming extinct lessened.[2]

Yes, retraining and cross-training are used to redeploy staff. Operational requirements and technology often drive the need for change. For example, as operational needs shift, staff may be assigned two roles to support seasonal operations - grounds crew in the summer and roads crew in the winter. Training is provided to support the competencies required for equipment used in the summer and then equipment used in the winter. Training is offered to support the use of new technology. Additionally, a wide range of training is provided to fill in skill gap for employees as their roles shift with priority shifts (such as project management training, contract management).


Just what were the Crusades? In his speech at the National Prayer Breakfast yesterday, President Obama likened the evil savagery that ISIS has been perpetrating in the name of Islam to Christianity and the Crusades. First, it makes no sense to with a wave of one's rhetorical hand dismiss one evil because of another. In logic, that is known as the tu quoque (Latin for "you too!") fallacy. Yet, there is another problem with the president's comparison: it's based on a very common, very popular, but very wrong misconception about what the Crusades were about and what actually happened historically.
I want to take a moment to play myth-buster and show why the modern assumptions are very much backwards and why the Crusades are not parallel with the ISIS killings we read in the headlines today.
This seems to be the foundational myth in misunderstanding what were the Crusades. Many believe that Christians gathered their armies from the various parts of Europe to march into Muslim territory and conquer anyone believing in Islam. Usually, Christians are painted as religious bigots trying to stamp out the unbeliever through warfare and violence. In a supplemental text to the video game "Crusade of Kings, " R. Scott Peoples writes "The soldiers of the First Crusade appeared basically without warning, storming into the Holy Land with the avowed—literally—task of slaughtering unbelievers."1 This is a popular picture, but one that's dead wrong.
Thomas F. Madden summarizes distinguished Crusades expert Dr. Jonathan Riley-Smith and writes, "All the Crusades met the criteria of just wars. They came about in reaction attacks against Christians or their Church."2 The Muslim aggression towards Christians in Christian lands had been recurring over hundreds of years. Muslim invaders had swept across Northern Africa in the seventh century while simultaneously conquering Christian areas in Palestine, up through Russia and southern Italy. For another three hundred years, they attacked Christian southwestern Europe and west Asia.
650 A.D. Muslim invasion of Khazar (Ukraine and Russia), until 737 A.D.
652 A.D. Muslims invade and occupy Christian Sicily and Italy, until 1091 A.D.
711 A.D. Muslims attack, invade and occupy Christian Spain, Portugal, Andora and Gibraltar, and try to invade France but are soundly trashed in the Battle of Tours, until 975 A.D.
1064 A.D. Muslim invasion of West Asia - Turkish Muslims attack, invade and occupy Asia Minor and Syria, until 1308. However, later events cause them to remain under Muslim occupation today.
1095 A.D. The First Crusade - First Crusade begins. Campaign is limited to retaking formerly Christian lands.
The First Crusade was called in 1095 in response to the recent Turkish conquest of Christian Asia Minor, as well as the much earlier Arab conquest of the Christian-held Holy Land. The second was called in response to the Muslim conquest of Edessa in 1144. The third was called in response to the Muslim conquest of Jerusalem and most other Christian lands in the Levant in 1187.
So, the comparison the president makes concerning the Crusades and ISIS aggression simply doesn't hold up. ISIS is continuing what Muslims have historically done, with the notable exception that they are seeking to take lands from other Muslims as well. It makes no sense to deflect such barbarism by trying to offer a poor historical comparison. It makes even less sense given the fact that people are dying right now because of ISIS. The threat is immediate and real; pointing to false stereotypes helps no one.

De kasteelhoeve Barelsteyn, ook wel Barelstein of Baerelhof genoemd, was een Frankisch kasteelhof gelegen in Bornem in de provincie Antwerpen in België, waar de huidige Koningsbeek samenkomt met de Barelstraat.

Situering en Naamgeving
De Barelstraat is een bochtige weg die vertrekt vanuit het centrum van Bornem richting Oppuurs. Het goed Barelsteyn lag links van de huidige Koningsbeek waar de Bareldreef samenkomt met de Barelstraat, niet ver van de huidige Kinderboerderij en de taverne Barelstein. Het goed was omwald door een gracht die verbonden was met de Koningsbeek. De Koningsbeek was een van de oudste gekende beken van Bornem. Ze mondt samen met de Ronnebeek uit in de Vliet. In de Cijnslijst van 1370 staat ze al vermeld als Moerbeke en in het register van de XXde penning van 1571 vinden we haar terug als Coninckxbeke.

Andere benamingen van Barelsteyn die teruggevonden zijn in aktes en documenten zijn Hof van Baerle (leenboek van 1425), Hof Barelsteyn (register van de XXde penning van 1571), Huysinghe van plaisantien (1627) en Castel (1742). Van het goed is niets meer overgebleven buiten een deel van de omwalling.
Gedurende sommige periodes van het jaar kan men enkel door het verschil in kleur van de grond nog de sporen van de grondvesten opmerken. Er zijn ook voor zover bekend geen duidelijke afbeeldingen of foto's van teruggevonden. Om toch enig beeld te krijgen van dit kasteelhof moeten we afgaan op de tekeningen in oude landkaarten.

Op een oude landkaart van 1647 van landmeter Jeremias Sermeelen getiteld "Casselrije, Landt ende Graefschap van Bornhem" staat een omwald kasteeltje (een steen) met drie torentjes getekend (zie fig.). Ook op de "Caerte Figuratieve van den Graefschappe van Bornhem" van de hand van Pieter Meysmans (1676-1677) vinden we het Barelsteyn terug.

Het Frankisch geslacht de Barla

De Frankische familie de Barla (ook van Baerle genaamd) bouwde in Bornem tijdens de middeleeuwen een kasteelhoeve, een "Steyn" omgeven door een wal. Het was een vrij leen van de heerlijkheid van Bornem. De oudste vermelding van Barelsteyn vinden we terug in een document van 1350: "eenen hof gheleghen in de Baerle strate".

De oorsprong van de naam Steyn, Stein of Steen dient gezocht in de vroege middeleeuwen. De plattelandsbevolking woonde toen meestal in lemen hutten. De middenstand, vooral in de steden, vond een onderkomen in huizen voornamelijk opgetrokken uit hout. Slechts de landvoogd en de voorname heren konden het zich veroorloven in een stenen huis, kasteel of burcht te wonen. Ook in Duitsland zijn heel wat plaatsnamen te vinden met als uitgang -stein.

De naam Barel is afkomstig van het Frankische geslacht de Barla (ook van Baerle genaamd), dat zich hier tijdens de Frankische kolonisatieperiode vestigde. Een lid van de familie de Barla komt als getuige voor in een akte van 1218.

De Franken waren een groep West-Germaanse volken, die het gebied van de Beneden- en Midden Rijn bewoonden. Carausius, een menapisch hoofdman, werd door keizer Maximianus belast met de verdediging van de rijksgrens in het noorden van Gallië. In 287 kwam hij echter in opstand en daarvan maakten de Franken gebruik om de gebieden tussen Rijn en Waal (Nederland), tussen Rijn- en Scheldemonding en Taxandrië (Noord-Brabant en Antwerpen) te veroveren. Onder Julianus de Afvallige (355-361) kregen de Franken vaste rechten in Taxandrië. In 358 werden zij een eerste Salisch-Frankische vazalstaat van het Romeinse rijk.

In de 2e helft van de 4e eeuw dreven de Franken hun kolonisatie verder door. Het Land van Waas komt eerst aan de beurt. Dan trokken ze geleidelijk de vallei van de Schelde en later de vallei van de Leie binnen. Het was geen gewelddadige bezetting, eerder een geleidelijke overname van de gronden en bezittingen die door de Romeinen verlaten werden.

In Bornem en Luipegem hebben de Franken dus de villae of hoeven betrokken die door de Gallo-Romeinse inwijkelingen verwaarloosd achtergelaten waren. Zij hechtten veel belang aan de aanwezigheid van water voor de veeteelt, vandaar dat de ligging van Bornem aan de Oude Schelde voor hen de ideale vestigingsplaats was.

Eerste eigenaars

De oudste leden van de familie Van Barel waarvan in documenten melding wordt gemaakt, zijn Swalu of Swalen van Barel en Abo van Baerle. Swalu van Barel ontgon het Swaluwveld dat zich situeerde op de plaats van het huidige Fort van Bornem. Het Swaluwveld of Swaelevelt werd reeds als dusdanig genoemd in de leenrol van 1373. Op de kaart van Pieter Meysmans uit 1676 was het reeds onderverdeeld in verschillende percelen met de smalle zijde tegen de Steenweg op Oppuurs. In 1659 lezen we Swalevelt, maar later komt ook de naam Swaluvelt voor.

Abo van Baerle ontgon het Absveld. De huidige Absveldstraat verwijst naar dit leen. Het Absvelt situeerde zich tussen de Sint Amandsesteenweg en de Barelstraat. De oudste vermelding is te vinden in de schatting van Bornem (1318). In latere tijden had de kerk van Bornem een groot belang in dit beloop. Zo werd vanaf 1680 tot aan de Boerenkrijg op een stuk van verschillende dagwand groot, per jaar een pot wijn als wijnrente betaald, door achtereenvolgens Jan Van Haver, Adriaan Moens, de Wezen Moens, Joos Van Hoorick en Gillis Van Grootven. Ook in de quohiersettinghe van 1659 werd dit stuk vermeld onder de naam Hoogen Hoff.

De familie Van Baerle ontgon tevens het Barelveld (ook Barlevelt of Baerlevelt genoemd). Het was gelegen tussen de Sint-Amandsesteenweg en de Barelstraat. Op de kaart van Pieter Meysmans uit 1676 is het als een groot rechthoekig veld getekend met een oppervlakte van meer dan 2500 roeden. Het veld werd in twee gesneden door wat nu nog de Bareldreef wordt genoemd, en die uitkomt op het Barelsteyn. In de leenrol van 1373 lezen we "...vul leen gheleghen up Baerlevelt...". In de kerkrekeningen wordt het meestal aangeduid als Barelvelt.

Ook het Cleembroek werd door de familie Van Barel ontgonnen. Het Cleembroek situeerde zich tussen de oude Frankische Kluishoeve (De Cluyse) op het einde van de Kluisstraat en de Barelstraat. Het strekte zich uit achter het Barelsteyn. De oudste schrijfwijze die gevonden werd dateert uit 1318 en geeft Cleenbroeck en Clenebroec. Ook de Franse benaming Petit Broeck werd gevonden, zodat we kunnen stellen dat men eigenlijk Klein Broek bedoelde. Zo vinden we ook in de kerkrekeningen van 1705 tot 1720 Cleynbroeck geschreven. Oudere schrijfwijzen geven dan weer Clembroeck (1599) en Cleembroeck (1640). De kaart van C. Popp uit 1860 geeft dan weer Kleenbroeck.

Geschiedenis (1301-1595)

In het begin van de 14de eeuw kwam de kasteelhoeve Barelsteyn in het bezit van Gijsbrecht Van Leeuwerghem, gouverneur en kastelein van Bornem. Samen met enkele andere lenen had hij rond 1301 Barelsteyn aangekocht en hij trachtte zijn eigendom tot een heerlijkheid met eigen rechtsgebied te verheffen. Hij hield hier zijn vierschaar, vonniste overtredingen en sprak grote en kleine boeten uit. Gijsbrecht vocht tijdens de Guldensporenslag in 1302 op de Groeningekouter in Kortrijk samen met Willem van Boernheim (Bornem). Willem was hospitaalridder van Sint-Jan in Jerusalem. Op de vooravond van deze slag had hij tevens deelgenomen aan de bestorming en beklimming van het Kasteel van Maele. Op het Groeningeveld was hij bevelhebber der schildknapen, ook Zwane-Ridders genoemd.

Robrecht van Kassel, de 2de zoon van Robrecht van Bethune, was gehuwd met Jeanne de Bretagne. Hij werd heer van Bornem tot 1331 en was meer dan de voorgaande heren van Bornem begaan met zijn bezittingen. Robrecht was het niet eens met de plannen van Gijsbrecht om van Barelsteyn een eigen rechtsgebied te maken. Hij hield daarom in 1314 in de priorij van Bornem een plechtige rechtszitting en veroordeelde Gijsbrecht. Alle rechten die Gijsbrecht zich had toegeëigend werden verbeurd verklaard.

In 1393 staat een zekere Jan van Wijneghem gekend als eigenaar van Barelsteyn. Zijn zoon Claus verkoopt alle goederen aan de familie Van Tannerien. Deze familie bewoonde Barelsteyn tot in de 2de helft van de 16de eeuw. Tijdens de godsdienstoorlogen veranderde het goed geregeld van eigenaar. Zo vinden we achtereenvolgens Jan Baptist van Damme, Diederick van de Werve van Antwerpen en Rombout Danckaerts.

Graaf Karel van Mansfeld (1547-1595) was de volgende eigenaar van Barelsteyn. Karel was de zoon van Pieter Ernest van Mansfeld, beroemd legeraanvoerder der keizerlijke troepen en landvoogd van de Zuidelijke Nederlanden van 1588-1592. Hij huwde met Maria Christina van Egmont, dochter van Lamoral. Het huwelijkscontract werd op 12 december 1591 op het kasteel van Hoogstraten te Brussel opgesteld. Hij bracht in gemeenschap de heerlijkheden van Temse, Buggenhout, St. Amands en Baasrode. Maria Christina bracht een fortuin van 268.963 Artesische munt in gemeenschap en haar eigendom bevatte o.m. de heerlijkheid van het Steen van Elewijt, dat ooit aan Pieter Pauwel Rubens toebehoorde.

Karel was peter bij de doop van Pedro Coloma II in 1587. Karel koos aanvankelijk de zijde van Oranje, maar kwam daarna in dienst van Margareta van Parma. Na een verblijf in Frankrijk waar hij deelnam aan de godsdienstoorlogen keerde hij in 1576 naar de Nederlanden terug, waar hij diende onder don Juan van Oostenrijk. In 1579 kreeg hij het bevel over de artillerie en nam aan diverse krijgsverrichtingen deel, onder meer aan het Beleg van Antwerpen (1584-1585), waar hij ernstig werd gekwetst. Na de dood van Farnese voerde hij tijdelijk het opperbevel over de Spaanse troepen in de Nederlanden. Hij nam deel aan de strijd tegen prins Maurits van Nassau en in 1592 als admiraal aan de strijd van de Spanjaarden in Frankrijk. In 1593 nam hij dienst in het keizerlijk leger dat in Hongarije optrad tegen de Turken en sneuvelde in de strijd te Comore op 14 augustus 1595.

Geschiedenis (1595-1742)

In 1595 werd kolonel la Bourlotte de volgende eigenaar van Barelsteyn, vervolgens Jan Brasseliers. Hij verkocht het in 1605 aan Remacle Roberti, die het in 1617 voor de som van 24.000 gulden overliet aan Pieter dela Faille. In 1708 werd het verder verkocht aan Pieter Judocus de Keersmaecker, griffier van het land en het graafschap van Bornem van 1696 tot 1732. Hij huwde op 3 april 1700 met Catharina de Keersmaecker, dochter van Jan de Keersmaecker, griffier van Temse en Cauwerburg. De schoonbroer van Pieter, Petrus Jacobus de Keersmaecker overleed in Bornem op 10 juli 1724. Pieter werd nu naast heer van Barelsteyn ook heer van Leugenhage, ook bekend als de Blauwhoeve te Temse. Net zoals Petrus werd Pieter en zijn echtgenote in het koor van de parochiekerk van Bornem begraven. De grafsteen bevindt zich nu achteraan in de kerk voor de weekkapel. Pieter stond in Bornem	bekend als de rijkste man na de graaf. Hij stierf op 73-jarige leeftijd op 19 oktober 1732. Zijn vrouw Catharina overleed op 60-jarige leeftijd. Hun huwelijk bleef kinderloos. Volgens sommige bronnen werden hun bezittingen waaronder Barelsteyn verdeeld onder meer dan 700 erfgenamen.

Teloorgang (1742-1800)

In 1742 kwam Barelsteyn in het bezit van de familie Papejans de Morkhoven en sprak men van "Casteel en Baerelhoeve", al wordt er op dat moment reeds van ruïnes gesproken. Het goed bestond uit volle en kleine lenen en besloeg een oppervlakte van 36,5 bunder (1 bunder = 900 roeden = 1,3118 hectaren) of 39 hectaren, 35 aren en 4 centiaren. Op 6 november 1798 wordt het centrum van Bornem in brand gestoken en worden er in Bornem 188 huizen vernield. Dit kan de verklaring zijn waarom op het einde van de 18de eeuw Barelsteyn definitief werd afgebroken. Op een kaart uit 1800 van de Franse Republiek (1799-1800) gemaakt door J. Maillaert et Soeur werd het niet meer opgenomen. Op de kaart van Gigault van 1807 staat alleen nog een restant van de bijgebouwen aangegeven (zie fig.). Op het kadasterplan van C. Popp is de omwalling nog getekend, maar van bebouwing ontbreekt elk spoor. Vandaag rest enkel nog een gedeelte van deze omwalling.

Trivia
Kinderboerderij Barelhoeve en voormalige taverne Barelsteyn zijn gesitueerd in de directe omgeving van de grondvesten van Barelsteyn.

Mark and Colleen Turner started their Northern Virginia Right at Home franchise in 2002. Based in Fairfax, Va., their in-home care company has grown to an impressive business in spite of the early years when Mark was contemplating selling the franchise and moving on.
Tell us about you personally and your professional background.
I am 63 years old and my wife, Colleen, and I have been married since 1980. We have three grown kids—33, 31 and 29. My middle son works with our Right at Home and he is training to take over the business. I became a grandfather 16 months ago for the first time, which is awesome and amazing. I love it.
I have a bachelor's degree in computer science from Virginia Tech and an MBA in accounting from Temple University in Philadelphia. Most of my career was in managing consulting organizations for IT and managing and helping financial systems with software application development and implementation consulting. I worked for Big 8 and Big 6 accounting firms. I worked for Oracle for eight years and ran their financial and HR system practice for universities.
How did you learn about Right at Home?
In January of 2002, I was on a business flight and saw the franchise edition of Entrepreneur magazine. I looked at all of the franchises listed and I came upon home care. The business model was similar to a professional services consulting business in which you bill your time based on hourly services. I said, "I can do that." So eight months later, I quit my job at Oracle and my wife quit her job as a part-time social worker and we started our Right at Home business.
You had a number of owner options in home care and franchising in general. Why was Right at Home the winner for you?
I looked at, talked to and visited Visiting Angels, Comfort Keepers, Interim Healthcare, Home Instead and Right at Home. In considering these five franchises—and my decision was based on (not in any particular order) the territory, the philosophy of founder Allen Hager and Right at Home, the integrity, the friendliness and the genuineness. Right at Home also had personal care available in addition to companionship care. Whereas, Home Instead, for example, was just a companion-only business.
Moving forward, it's exciting to see your middle son now looking at taking over the business. How did that happen?
When Phil graduated in 2009 from college with a degree in hospitality and tourism, he was looking for a job. I said, "Hey, you want to come work at Right at Home?" He said, "No," and went on as a sales manager at hotels for five years. When we had an opening for a sales rep, I went back to Phil and asked he wanted the position. He came on board in 2012, we didn't know at the time if he wanted to stick with this as his career. But his role with the business has evolved over the six years to the point here he's all in and ready to direct the company.
How do you feel, as a father, being able to build up an asset from 2002 and now have your son take over?
I hired an exit planner and attorneys and we are structuring the business as part of my estate so it is equitable across all three kids, whether Phil owns 100 percent of Right at Home or not. In terms of the family legacy and passing this on to him, I love it. I love having the business stay in the family. That's huge. The other two siblings have their own careers and their own lives and they don't have any interest in taking over the business. I love giving Phil the opportunity to take over the family business.
What was one of your lowest moments in the business? What was that like, and how did you get through it?
That's an easy one. I started out of the gate really well. I was the first Right at Home Rookie of the Year Award recipient. I was in business for my first month and already had a 24-hour case and a 40-hour-a-week case. I turned a P&L profit, though I was working on a negative cash flow in my first month. So I felt like I was living large.
The problem for me was that when I started at Right at Home, I had two kids in college and one in high school. I had a big mortgage and a big house, and needed to make a certain amount of money. Even though I was making money, I wasn't making enough to cover all my expenses. So after about year four or five, I had sunk $250,000 of my own cash into the business, and I talked to an M&A firm. I'd talked to Allen at Right at Home, and I had my résumé out on CareerBuilder. I was looking at what's my Plan B? That was definitely the low point. And then the business just gradually turned around to the point where I was taking money out of the business, repaying my loan, and that was sufficient for my monthly bills. The rest is history.
After going through the hard time in your business, in the end, was it worth going through the struggles to have the victory that you have today?
Oh my gosh, yes. Absolutely. I still enjoy the business. I still love it. It's a great, feel-good industry. I love providing the care to families, and it tugs at your heart. I love providing gainful employment to 200 caregivers. So that whole part of business is hugely rewarding and satisfying for me personally. And certainly from a financial standpoint, my business is worth a lot more today and has become an asset. But yes, it's hugely worth it.
Do you have a story of a heartfelt moment in your business?
We get letters from families, and when our care clients pass, we get invited to their funerals. In the letters from the family they say, "Oh, my gosh, what you guys did for my mom." All that is just great because you're providing for your care clients, and their family members are often the ones to express their appreciation. We provide a lot of hospice care and they are at the end of life, or we have clients with dementia, so often it's a spouse or adult children that are ones that are reaping the huge benefits of what we're doing for their loved one. These family members are the ones thanking us or telling us how they appreciate our care.
If you were to talk to a prospective franchisee that was looking at opening a Right at Home office anywhere throughout the United States, what would you want to share with them?
One of the lessons I learned is to really, really focus on the quality of service and the quality of care. Assume nothing. Because I know for myself, at the beginning, we didn't have that great service. There were referral sources that we heard from a number of years later that said, "We don't refer to Right at Home because we had a bad experience many years ago." So that stays with you. And we didn't know what we didn't know in terms of focusing on monitoring and assuring the quality.
The other thing is this is a local sales-driven, personal reputation business model and industry. It's still about you getting your reputation as an organization out in the community. You do that as a community liaison, reaching out to your referral sources to get clients. If you are an owner that's not a marketer or a business development person, or you are not willing to be out there in the community, then you need somebody representing your business well that is going to build your reputation in the community.
