Between late May and early September each year, the population of Sullivan County, NY, (est. 76,000) triples. The streets of sleepy Woodbourne bustle with Hasidic visitors in long whiskers and black hats. Bungalow colonies fill up with families, and harness track fans pack the "racino" outside the county seat, Monticello.
This was once the famed Borscht Belt, where entertainers like Milton Berle and Buddy Hackett sharpened their wisecracks for live audiences. Before everyone had a television set and jet-air travel could whisk New Yorkers off to Florida or abroad, the resorts here, just 90 miles west of Manhattan, boomed. More than 100 hotels, motels and tourist courts catered to thousands of summer travelers, and hired thousands of seasonal workers, too — the cooks, waitresses, maids, and grounds-keepers who kept vacationers happy. Though its glory days have passed, the summer tourists still come. Immigration in this seasonal sense is nothing new to Sullivan County.
Since 1990, however, other sorts of immigrants have arrived in this Catskill county "" New Yorkers fleeing the city post 9/11, second-home buyers from the eastern seaboard, a Ukrainian community that settled in the southern township of Lumberland, and, significantly, a new wave of Latino residents who have moved here into cheap housing and low-wage jobs.
Though its influx of Hispanic newcomers doesn't match big increases in the South and West, Sullivan County between 1990 and 2000 showed the third highest gain in new immigrants (those coming to the U.S. after 1965) of all non-metro counties in the Northeast (after Nantucket and Dukes counties, Massachusetts).
"We're on a rebound," says Marc Baez of the county's Partnership for Economic Development. Baez, whose Puerto Rican parents moved here in the heyday of the old resorts, says that when Sullivan's tourist industry collapsed, starting in the 1970s and declining steeply over the next ten years, "We fell on really hard times."
The tourist-centric economy, its cabins and grand hotels deteriorating, was pained to recover. "We didn't have an underlying industry poised to expand," explains Laura Quigley, director of Sullivan's Workforce Development Board. Local leaders adopted a fairly desperate strategy, "Then, anything that walked through the door we'd take," says Baez. Bill Pammer, since 2004 the county's Commissioner of Planning and Community Development, shakes his head, "We got a landfill. To make up for that difference, we started importing garbage."
The western half of Sullivan County had long been dairy country (outside the town of Bethel, the Woodstock Music Festival took place at Max Yasgur's farm in July 1969). But, like Yasgur, local dairymen have been phasing out for the past 20 years. Meanwhile, poultry industries multiplied and expanded. "There are 26 million New Yorkers only 50 minutes away," Marc Baez notes. During the 1990s, especially, the local economic development strategy became, Baez says, "What do they want and how can we serve them?"
In this regard, one of Sullivan's more exceptional businesses is Hudson Valley Foie Gras. Here some 170 workers, nearly all of them recent immigrants, force feed ducks on a strict schedule throughout the day and night. This controversial process swells the birds' livers four times the normal size, producing the ingredient for pâté, a delicacy priced at over $50 a pound. Along with this rare breed of business, Sullivan County (New York's top poultry producer) has more conventional chicken plants, egg processing factories, and over two dozen small poultry farms. "The types of people that are willing to work in those environments is very few," Baez. says. All these enterprises rely on immigrant labor.
Sofia Romero, 32, moved to Sullivan County in 2001 from San Pedro Sula, Honduras. Her long trip north involved, among other risks, three days walking through the Arizona desert. In Honduras, she had worked since age 14 at a garment factory, raised by her grandparents; her mother had come to the United States when Sofia was only 12. When Romero emigrated to the U.S., she left behind her own son, now age 12, in her grandmother's care.
In Honduras she had earned 340 lempira "" less than $19 "" per 40-hour week. Romero says she came to the U.S. for higher wages, and because in Honduras "when you're 30, there's no more work." Factory owners typically shuffle older women out of the plant and hire teenagers to replace them. At first, Romero lived in the Bronx. She came to Sullivan County because her mother lived here. Wiping her eyes, she explains, "I wanted to come meet her, the person who had abandoned me." Mother and daughter lived together for two months, but the relationship grew tense, and Sofia moved out. She now lives with her boyfriend and their young son.
In Sullivan County, Sofia Romero was hired at an egg processing plant in Woodridge, making minimum wage, then $5.15 an hour; after two years, she was earning $5.75, working 6 am to 5 pm. Her job peeling eggs under a constant stream of cold water and washing machinery with a high-pressure hose and caustic detergents caused psoriasis on her hands, a condition that worsened after Romero became pregnant. She quit, and says she will soon start work at a chicken processing plant.
At a small gathering of friends in Hurleyville, Romero expresses shock; she's just heard about a new on-line video game called "Border Control," where the object is to kill immigrants coming over the Mexican border. "You get more points if you shoot a pregnant woman," she informs the group. Her life in Sullivan County has been hard but by staying she sees "an opportunity to make money to send home to my son and my grandmother."
Carlos Mendoza, 34, moved from El Salvador to Sullivan County with his wife in May 2004. They left their two sons behind with his mother. Asked what his father did for a living, Mendoza shrugs, and then pantomimes swigging from a bottle.
Mendoza had a sister in Sullivan County and relatives in Texas also. He says he chose rural New York over Houston thinking that there would be "not so many people" and that finding employment would be easier here. His first job was cutting sacks at the Formaggio cheese plant, six days a week. He then worked at one of the egg companies, and most recently at a factory in Liberty packaging "galletas" — snacks. On an evening in April, Mendoza was fuming having just been fired from the snack company for a dispute over his hours. He contended that he'd been shortchanged for 3.5 hours of work and was told by a manager "the computer doesn't lie." When he continued to press for the lost wages, he was dismissed. Mendoza's wife works second shift at the snack factory, but he'll be looking for something else "" not easy, since the couple lives in Liberty, has no car, and, as in many rural counties, there's no public transportation here.
Among most long-time residents in Sullivan County, this new wave of immigrants remains fairly invisible. "They work in restaurants and garages, and generally keep to themselves in this area. You know, they have their niche," said a staff person at the Chamber of Commerce. Both the foie gras farm and Formaggio cheese house many of their employees, an arrangement that eases getting to work but further isolates an immigrant community already set apart by language. Undocumented workers, who may first welcome such invisibility, have found themselves, like Carlos Mendoza, at the mercy of employers.
Ninon Hutchinson, minister of St. John's Episcopal Church in Monticello, has tried various ways to involve her largely non-Latino parish with the new community, from serving coffee and doughnuts outside the duck farm to winterizing the shabby apartments near one of the chicken factories. When an immigrant family was "run out of housing over a labor protest," Hutchinson said, the family moved temporarily into the church itself. With two other clergy from nearby towns, Hutchinson officiated at a service to bless the opening of Monticello's new Latino Deli. St. John's holds periodic fundraisers for organizations serving the immigrant community. Still, she concedes, "It's a very difficult connection to make."
Gradually, new institutions have emerged to make the presence, contributions, and needs of Latino residents known. In 1992, Aspacio Alcántara, himself a Dominican, helped to organize the Centro Independiente de Apoyo a los Trabajadores Agrícolas (CITA). The group, first based in neighboring Orange County, worked to get basics like bathrooms and clean drinking water for farm workers in the Hudson Valley. The organization's legal arm brokered one of its first agreements with a Sullivan County poultry firm, a company that had been unfairly withholding workers' wages for rent and uniforms.
Attorney Dan Werner worked with CITA on that early case though the Farmworkers Law Center. He and his partners recognized that the area was changing, "shifting from agriculture to a suburban economy" more focused on construction, landscaping and light industry. "Many of our clients who were moving into these new jobs," he says, "found the same problems," principally non-payment of wages and unpaid overtime. The Hudson Valley's farmworkers have been, "almost exclusively Mexicans," most of them from the impoverished Southern state of Puebla, but "in these other industries its much more of a mixed bag," says Werner. The recent immigrants who work in Sullivan's poultry and food processing plants come from across Central and South American, notably Peru, Ecuador, El Salvador, and Honduras.
Werner now directs the Workers' Rights Law Center of New York. Founded in 2004, based in Kingston, it serves nine Hudson Valley counties. The Center has been involved in more than 300 labor disputes, several in Sullivan County. All its Sullivan clients have been immigrant workers (Federal law protects workers' rights regardless of their immigration status).
Formaggio Estates, worker housing in Sullivan County
One significant case was settled in the spring of 2006, a class action suit brought against Formaggio cheese for unpaid overtime and illegal deduction of wages. After an introductory talk at the Spanish-language Pentecostal church in Liberty "" part of the law center's outreach program — one worker came forward with grievances against the cheese plant. Eventually three more current and former employees joined the suit. Over the next two and a half years, $250,000 will be distributed to eligible workers.
An older case, still pending, shows the complexity of enforcing labor law for immigrant workers in a global economy. The farm owner, a Chilean, operated alpaca farms in New York, in South America, and on two other continents. Werner says she underpaid a number of employees (paying one Sullivan county worker Chilean wages); she also tried to declare bankruptcy after, presumably, shifting most of the New York assets to her other farming enterprises. As Werner and his team now work to get the case moved out of bankruptcy court, he says the suit has turned "into a protracted battle," likely to go on "for several more years."
Because immigrants often move from job to job, like Carlos Mendoza, and fear arrest and deportation if they confront an employer, violations of labor law often go unchallenged. And without long-term advocates, like CITA and the Workers' Rights Law Center, such challenges tend to sputter out. Employers can outspend or just outlast immigrant plaintiffs. Aspacio Alcántara believes that CITA's decade-plus of work, backed up in court, has "changed the relationship" between farm workers and employers. "They cannot fire people so easily." He also finds, "There's a little more respect"¦ There's not one legislator in New York State who doesn't know about the farm worker now." Likewise, with the ruling against Formaggio, Dan Werner says, "I think that a lot of people who might have been afraid to step forward will recognize this is real."

Sandra Cuellar Oxford is a community activist who's been involved in New York prison reform, bilingual education, and, most recently, the living-wage issue, opposing tax-abatements and other governmental supports for companies that pay low-wages. In Sullivan County, Bella Poultry, Hudson Valley Foie Gras and Formaggio Cheese all have received funding and/or tax breaks through the local Industrial Development Agency and state Empire Zone program. These financial incentives are "the engines," Oxford says, "helping these employers who've been abusing workers."
A native of Colombia, Oxford moved to Hurleyville from Long Island looking for affordable housing. When she first moved to Sullivan County 14 years ago "not one Latino student had graduated from (Fallsburg) high school." She and others founded Somos la Llave del Futuro (We're the Key to the Future) in 2002 to rally local Hispanics and work on their behalf.
The group first mobilized around health, a serious problem for immigrants here. Sullivan County has New York State's highest rate of HIV/AIDS outside New York City, and though by the 2000 U.S. Census, Hispanics comprised only 9.24% of the county's population, in 2004 25% of the HIV patients in care at Catskill Regional Medical Center were Latinos. In 2004, Sullivan's infant mortality rate was the highest in New York State.
Carol Ryan, the county's public health director, says that many new immigrants are in bad health. She recounts a wide range of health concerns, from poor diet to rape: "No health insurance. No sick pay. Not enough sleep. Respiratory complaints. No prenatal care. Domestic violence. Alcoholism"¦these are the problems of any impoverished group." Yet among immigrants "there's also despair," she says, "and a lot of stress on them, being away from their families."
Ryan emphasizes that just making programs like WIC, prenatal care and immunizations available isn't sufficient when dealing with these new communities. Immigrants resist seeking medical care when doctors speak only English, and they are typically reluctant to enroll in basic health programs, fearing discovery and deportation. To reach immigrant clients, Ryan says her office has adopted "more of a service orientation." Two years ago, Sullivan County's public health office hired its first bilingual outreach worker, Zaida Chasi. A native of Ecuador, Chasi had already worked as a translator in the local courts and in Sullivan County's Heasdstart program. "That's when I started working with the community, with families in crisis," she says. After three years with Headstart, "people started to know me, I was out in the community, doing outreach, getting the children into the program." She noticed a change, "The more an advocate that I was for families, the more children were enrolled in the programs."
Ryan agrees. "It takes a trusted person. That trust brings them into care." Her department records show no immigrant families participating in the WIC program until 2004, the year Chasi was hired. Since then, WIC enrollment among immigrants has gradually increased, from 10 families in January 2004 to 41 in March 2006.
A promising new organization in Sullivan County is Hudson River Community Health. This 30-year-old nonprofit, with fourteen branches throughout the region, offers primary, preventive and behavioral health services without regard for ability to pay. The Monticello office has hired both Chasi and Aspacio Alcántara as outreach workers. In neighboring counties, the organization, as well as administering health care services, has been a conduit for language training, social services, and community empowerment though its "Comités Latinos." Sandra Oxford believes the organization will take the same strong role in Sullivan County. "Once that health center really takes root, it can be a cornerstone for the emerging community," she stresses. "There's a path of support."
Since September 2003 a Latino Service Providers group "" involving Sullivan County health care, school, and social service offices — has met monthly to discuss changing needs and strategies for cooperation. But beyond this group of professionals, citizen organizing within the Latino community has been erratic. What's often inscrutable to longtime residents here, Hispanic immigrants are a diverse group. Zaida Chasi says, "Even though we're Latino, we don't speak the same language, in a sense. We have different dialects. We have different culture, and there is not that unity. There needs to be." Chasi, Oxford and others say that discrimination based on education is especially keen among Hispanics and has made unifying the immigrant community hard.
In the public schools, such divisions sharpen. Fallsburg High School's bilingual social worker Paco Mazo, after 16 years, can count the Latino graduates on one hand. All of them had come to the U.S. as young children, from educated or affluent families. "The younger the child. the easier it is to assimilate," Mazo says. "The older they are, the more barriers." He has yet to see an immigrant student who arrived in Sullivan County as a teenager "" and there have been many — earn a Fallsburg diploma.
Mazo underscores how immigration often splits families apart. Young adults like Carlos Mendoza and Sofia Romero have paid between $3000 and $15,000 to cross into the U.S usually leaving their children with relatives south of the border. While they find jobs, work long hours, and maneuver to avoid deportation and/or gain legal status, parents typically can't go back home, even to visit. It's not uncommon for immigrants who're separated from spouses and children to start new families in the United States.
When young people arrive in Sullivan County as teenagers to rejoin their birthparents, after sometimes a decade or more apart, they bring high expectations: "There's a honeymoon for awhile but it's a short honeymoon," Mazo says. "They give up their peer group, they don't know the language." A teenager finds that he or she has traded a big extended family back home for life in a Catskills housing project, the newcomer among relatives they barely know.
Most Latino teens, Mazo says, feel they "have no reason to learn English," They look around and soon ask themselves, "What am I doing here in school when I could be working in the chicken plant and buy myself a gold chain?' They're playing football," says Mazo, "staying among their Spanish speaking friends, listening to novellas. They're here in America but they're immersed in a Hispanic subculture, and that's where they stay."
He and Chasi both are trying to bring to light a widespread problem in the Latino community here. Teenage girls, who are struggling both a home and at school, are easy prey for older men. "The young girls who are being seduced and getting pregnant so young, they're not finishing school," Chasi, says. "It's like an epidemic." Mazo agrees. "A girl has a one night stand and is thrown out by her parents, living with an older man. When the baby comes, he's out the door." Sullivan's teenage pregnancy rate is by far the highest in the Hudson Valley.
Historically, Sullivan County society has been more patched than woven. Planning Commissioner Bill Pammer, who grew up on a farm here, says that diverse populations have tended to self-segregate. "The neighborhood enclaves you saw in New York City were being played out in Sullivan County," he explains. The Hasidic communities kept to themselves; German-Americans farmed the western "Bund Belt"; Ukrainians settled in Lumberland. This pattern of mutual evasion seems to have persisted, now exacerbated by the barrier of language and disparities in education, earning-power, and legal status.
Segregation can be a state of mind as well. The many commuters and second-home owners buying and building in Sullivan County tend to view the area, Marc Baez says, as "a playground," missing its very real, "urban"-seeming problems: poverty, lack of public transportation, AIDS, sum housing, traffic.
"When you have (groups) that isolate, they want to land in your community but not live in your community," says Laura Quigley, the workforce development director. Quigley's description fits both of Sullivan County's new immigrant groups: the Hispanic newcomers here to work and wire money off to relatives in other countries, and the city émigrés who have come looking for a rural idyll. Over time, these social disjunctions "can impact your image of yourself as a community," she says; a county or a town devolves into "just a fractured group of people on the same plot of land."
Rev. Ninon Hutchinson of St. John Espicopal Church visits Ema and Albero Marim's store
Groups like the Workers Rights Center and Hudson River Community Health, and activists like Oxford, Alcántara, Hutchinson, Mazo and Chasi have made inroads. Their endurance may be the most significant victory. "This town has changed their attitude," Zaida Chasi says about Monticello. "Before it was like they would close the door on you. They're a little bit more receptive to see the (Hispanic) community walking in the streets or seeing the stores open. Now there's more awareness that we're here, and we're not leaving."
Right across from Monticello Bagel, Acatlan, occupying a former pizza parlor, is doing a brisk lunch business. Nopalitos (cactus pads) are on display in the cool case and packets of hoja santa, hierba buena and dried chiles line a long sales rack. The TV is tuned to a Latino music station. There's not one Asian, Anglo, Hasidic or German looking customer in sight. At the Latino Deli just up the block, Rev. Ninon Hutchinson catches up with proprietor Ema Marim under the downward gaze of the Virgin of Guadalupe, hanging by the soft drink case in her cocoon of stars.

Q: Sendmail to local domain ignoring MX records (part 2) I have the exact problem, like in this post: Sendmail to local domain ignoring MX records . I am also using an email provider like GMail For Your Domain (which stores your mail and manages it). I am sending mail from my server directly, but receiving mail is done via Yandex (email provider). Since the server hosts a forum, I prefer to send mail directly from it because using another mail provider can slow things down. Also, when I send 300.000 email to my subscribers, another email provider will surely block me thinking I am sending spam.
My DNS zone now is:
;
; GSMFORUM.RU
;

$TTL 1H

gsmforum.ru. SOA ns1.hc.ru. support.hc.ru. (
               2009122268 ; Serial
               1H         ; Refresh
               30M        ; Retry

mail                  CNAME   domain.mail.yandex.net.
yamail-xxxxxxxxx      CNAME   mail.yandex.ru.

Server hostname is server.gsmforum.ru. May be this is the cause? Can someone explain the reason of the matter (the rules that make sendmail consider domain to be local)? Can I easily change
*.gsmforum.ru.        CNAME   @

into
*.gsmforum.ru.        A   79.174.68.224

to solve this problem?
[root@server ~]# cat /etc/mail/local-host-names
localhost
localhost.localdomain

This server hosts gsmforum.ru so I cannot put it into another domain like David Mackintosh suggests. Putting the domain in mailertable doesn't solve the problem either: sendmail -bt still shows the address is local. DontProbeInterfaces is also set to true in the sendmail config.

A: What I did to disable local delivery. I'll be using the example.com domain.
Requirements:

*

*example.com A entry pointing to IP address assigned to one of the eth interfaces.

*/etc/hosts defining example.com assigned to the very same IP address as above

*example.com MX records pointing to Google servers (ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM, etc)

*default sendmail installation (mine was on Ubuntu)

Steps:
vim /etc/mail/sendmail.mc

at the end:
define(`MAIL_HUB', `example.com.')dnl
define(`LOCAL_RELAY', `example.com.')dnl

and then:
sendmailconfig
service sendmail restart

testing:
echo -e "To: user@example.com\nSubject: Test\nTest\n" | sendmail -bm -t -v
echo -e "To: user\nSubject: Test\nTest\n" | sendmail -bm -t -v

You should see it connecting to the google server and then you should see your mail being delivered to your Google inbox.

A: Just in case anoyone come across this problem.
First of all, thanks to sporker and Pawel you put me in the right direction to get this fixed.
My original problem was that sendmail was considering my domain example.com email accounts as local accounts.
These links proved very useful:
Sendmail to local domain ignoring MX records (part 2)
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2004-September/057382.html
http://objectmix.com/sendmail/367920-sendmail-ignores-mailertable-some-semilocal-domains.html
But in my case, using FreeBSD 8.2, what really did the trick was:
# cd /etc/mail
# vim freebsd.mc
Add these two lines:
define(MAIL_HUB', example.com.')dnl
define(LOCAL_RELAY', example.com.')dnl
Right before:
MAILER(local)
MAILER(smtp)
# make
--- This is output ---
 cp freebsd.mc host.example.com.mc
 /usr/bin/m4 -D_CF_DIR_=/usr/share/sendmail/cf/   /usr/share/sendmail/cf/m4/cf.m4 host.example.com.mc > host.example.com.cf
 cp freebsd.submit.mc host.example.com.submit.mc
 /usr/bin/m4 -D_CF_DIR_=/usr/share/sendmail/cf/   /usr/share/sendmail/cf/m4/cf.m4 host.example.com.submit.mc > host.example.com.submit.cf

--- End of output ---
# cp sendmail.cf sendmail.cf.bak
# cp host.example.com.cf sendmail.cf
# /etc/rc.d/sendmail restart
Hope this saves some headaches to someone.

Ex Indivior boss pleads guilty to DoJ charge
Charge pertained to US investigation into the marketing of the group's opioid addiction drug
By Harriet Clarfelt
Shaun Thaxter, the former head of pharma group Indivior (INDV), has pleaded guilty to a US Department of Justice criminal charge pertaining to the marketing of the opioid addiction treatment Suboxone. Mr Thaxter had stepped down from his role as chief executive of Indivior at the end of June, and was replaced by Mark Crossley - formerly chief financial and operations officer.
IC TIP: Sell at 84p
An announcement from the DoJ said that Mr Thaxter pleaded guilty on Tuesday 30 June to a misdemeanour count of violating the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act by causing the introduction of the "misbranded" treatment Suboxone Film into interstate commerce. Before his sudden departure from the group, Mr Thaxter had served as leader of Indivior since 2009 – including the period prior to 2014, when Indivior was known as Reckitt Benckiser Pharmaceuticals. Reckitt Benckiser (RB.) paid $1.4bn (£1.1bn) last summer to fully resolve all federal investigations into it in connection with the long-running probe into the sales and marketing of Suboxone Film. Indivior is entirely demerged from Reckitt.
The DoJ said that in 2012, Mr Thaxter "oversaw and encouraged" Indivior's efforts to secure coverage for Suboxone Film from a Massachusetts medical agency called MassHealth. The department noted that Mr Thaxter asked Indivior employees under his direction to try to win preferred drug status for Suboxone Film, counteracting a non-opioid competitor that the respective agency was considering for opioid addiction treatment. "Certain Indivior employees subsequently shared false and misleading safety information with MassHealth officials about Suboxone Film's risk of accidental paediatric exposure". Subsequently, MassHealth revealed that it would provide access to Suboxone Film for Medicaid patients with children under the age of six.
Mr Thaxter's attorney Wick Sollers commented that "it should be made clear, which the DOJ press release intentionally omitted, that the plea was to a strict liability, non-intent misdemeanor under the Responsible Corporate Officer Doctrine." He added, "Mr Thaxter was unaware of the alleged misstatements when they were made and he authorised disclosure to the government as soon as he was informed of the issue."
Under the terms of the plea agreement, Mr Thaxter has agreed to pay $600,000 in fines and forfeitures and could face up to one year in prison. He will be sentenced at the end of September. "Opioid addiction and abuse is an immense public health crisis and taking steps to address it is one of the FDA's [Food and Drug Administration's] highest priorities," commented FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn.
Indivior stated that the plea deal is in Mr Thaxter's "personal capacity and not on behalf of the group". It added that it continues to attempt to resolve its own outstanding litigations "as expeditiously as possible". The group said in May that it had lifted its provision for investigative litigation matters from $438m to $621m; no small number, when you consider that revenue for 2019 landed at $785m. At the time, Indivior noted that the DoJ was seeking to recover $3bn in relation to allegations of fraud around the Suboxone medication. It added that it believed it had strong defences and would vigorously defend itself.
The shares edged up by around 2 per cent following news of Mr Thaxter's plea agreement, and have climbed to 84p from under 40p at the start of 2020. Broker Stifel believes the agreement could perhaps help to smooth a possible settlement for Indivior itself. But while the group's legal issues remain unresolved - and continue to distract attention – we still think it wise to steer clear. Sell.

Jefforthay History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms
Jefforthay is a name that first reached England following the Norman Conquest of 1066. The Jefforthay family lived in Staffordshire with now extinct branches in Devon, Southampton and Buckinghamshire. [1] Some references claim that the surname was a nickname for a chubby cheeked or round faced person having derived from the Old French word "giffard," a pejorative form of "giffel," meaning "jaw." This is not the case.
"The old historical Giffards of Normandy and England descended from the De Bollebecs, who were connected by marriage with Richard I, Duke of Normandy. Walter, son of de Bollebec, though surnamed 'Gifford,' or 'the Liberal,' seems to have been conservative in the acquisition and retention of lands; for he got not only the fair domain of Longueville, from Richard II of Normandy, but also the Earldom of Buckinghamshire." [2]
"Three brothers of the name Giffard, Walter, Berenger, and Osberne entered in Domesday Book as holding English baronies from the time of the Conquest. Walter, the eldest, received as many as 107 manors in different counties, had his largest domain in Buckinghamshire, and was Earl of that county; Berenger held the barony of Fonthill, called from him Fonthill-Giffard, in Wiltshire; and Osberne that of Brimsfield in Gloucestershire." [3]
"When William of Normandy desired to invade England, many of his nobles held cautiously back from proffering aid, being wearied and impoverished by the continued struggles in which the Duke had been engaged since his father's death. But a few staunch adherents, amongst the foremost of whom were Walter de Gyffarde, Count of Longueville, and Osborne, his brother, the sons of Osborne de Bolebec, coming nobly forward with offers of men, ships, &c., the laggards were thereby warmed to the undertaking, and the expedition was carried out." [4]
Early Origins of the Jefforthay family
The surname Jefforthay was first found in Devon, Southampton, Buckinghamshire and Staffordshire. As mentioned above, the surviving Staffordshire branch has remained there since the reign of Henry II when Peter Gifford became Lord of the Manor of Chillington. [1]
Chillington Hall is a Georgian country house near Brewood in Staffordshire. The current estate is the third manor on the site - the first stone castle was built by the family in the 12th century and part of the current cellar contains some of the original foundation. Another branch of the family was found at Great Blakenham in Suffolk.
"Walter Gifford, Earl of Buckingham, appropriated the manor, in the time of William II., to the monks of Bec in Normandy, who established a cell here." [5]
Little is known of Walter Gifford other than he was Vice-Chancellor and Chancellor of the University of Oxford in 1311. Bletchley in Buckinghamshire was another family seat.
"Walter Gifford, Earl of Buckingham, possessed by grant from William Rufus the whole landed property of this parish, which was inherited by Richard de Clare, Earl of Hertford, who had married his granddaughter, Roesia." [5]
Godfrey Giffard (1235?-1302), was Chancellor of England and Bishop of Worcester, the son of Hugh Giffard of Boyton in Wiltshire, a royal justice. He was born about 1235 (Calendarium Genealogicum, p. 281). He was the younger brother of Walter Giffard. When his brother was Bishop of Bath and Wells, he became Canon of Wells. [6]
John Giffard Lord Gifford of Bromsfield (1232-1299), was a "soldier and Baron in the reigns of Henry III and Edward I, descended from Osbern Giffard, a Norman noble, who under William I acquired various estates, of which Bromsfield (now Brimpsfield) in Gloucestershire and Sherrington in Wiltshire were the chief. From Osbern was descended Richard, one of the justices appointed at Northampton in 1176, whose grandson, Elias, was one of the barons who fought against King John." [6]
Early History of the Jefforthay family
This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Jefforthay research. Another 131 words (9 lines of text) covering the years 1086, 1200, 1279, 1444, 1496, 1557, 1536, 1554, 1613, 1554, 1629, 1560, 1590, 1548, 1600, 1642, 1734, 1687, 1703, 1703 and 1734 are included under the topic Early Jefforthay History in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Jefforthay Spelling Variations
It is only in the last few hundred years that the English language has been standardized. For that reason, Anglo-Norman surnames like Jefforthay are characterized by many spelling variations. Scribes and monks in the Middle Ages spelled names they sounded, so it is common to find several variations that refer to a single person. As the English language changed and incorporated elements of other European languages such as Norman French and Latin, even literate people regularly changed the spelling of their names. The variations of the name Jefforthay include Gifford, Giffard, Geffard, Gyfford, Gifferd, Geffard, Gifferd, Gyffard, Gyfferd, Gyford, Giford, Givard, Givord, Giverd and many more.
Early Notables of the Jefforthay family (pre 1700)
Outstanding amongst the family at this time was Sir Alexander Gifford; George Gifford (by 1496-1557) an English politician, Member of Parliament for Buckingham in 1536 and Buckinghamshire in April 1554; George Gifford (died 1613), English politician, Member of Parliament for Morpeth and Cricklade; Gabriel Gifford (1554-1629), Catholic Archbishop of Reims; Gilbert Gifford (1560-1590), English double agent who...

Migration of the Jefforthay family to Ireland
Some of the Jefforthay family moved to Ireland, but this topic is not covered in this excerpt. More information about their life in Ireland is included in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Migration of the Jefforthay family
Faced with the chaos present in England at that time, many English families looked towards the open frontiers of the New World with its opportunities to escape oppression and starvation. People migrated to North America, as well as Australia and Ireland in droves, paying exorbitant rates for passages in cramped, unsafe ships. Many of the settlers did not make the long passage alive, but those who did see the shores of North America were welcomed with great opportunity. Many of the families that came from England went on to make essential contributions to the emerging nations of Canada and the United States. Some of the first immigrants to cross the Atlantic and come to North America carried the name Jefforthay, or a variant listed above: Francis Gifford, who settled in Virginia in 1626; Edward Gifford, who landed in Virginia in 1635; John Gifford, who made his home in Boston in 1673; Samuel Gifford, who settled in Barbados, with his wife, two children, and servants in 1680.

i tried a lot of howto's to configure SSO, but i get always the message "Unable to connect using Single Sign on..." in Spark.
Openfire 3.6.4 ist installed on an Windows2003 SP2 32bit. The Client tested on WinXP 32bit and W7 64bit.
We have only one active directory domain (Windows 2003). Until the Setup in Openfire in configured quiet everything with default values, only the Active Directory settings in the wizard are set with individual values.
The manual login with an domainuser through spark works perfect. But i need sso to avoid saving the domainuser password on the client.
What log and config files are necessery for you to help me?
What Spark version are you using? I think it should be at least Beta 2 (or now RC1) for SSO to work. Though maybe you already know this if you have read all the howtos. Can't help more, don't know much about SSO.
Every try with reboots and new clean installations.

All the cool kids post 10 second gifs nowadays so here's me testing a new recording workflow against Racktris so I can show snippets of what I'm doing faster.
I'm doing Real Work (TM) today, but I realized I was one commit away from adding the console version to Racktris's master branch. So that bit's merged!
Already have nice looking rendering of blocks. Check out the visual rendering of the block hashmap at the REPL!

The ground becomes more rocky as you venture farther from where you'd come across the carthawoxes. At first, there's simply an increase in pebbles. Soon enough, however, the trees must grow around huge boulders, and the path you follow winds around them. At times, the ground slopes, and you must make an effort to keep your footing.
You break free of a particularly dense area of shrubbery, and find yourself staring up a slope steeper than the rest. Shale and pebbles cover it, but you do your best to pick out the safest part, and begin to climb the slope. You climb slowly, careful not to upset your footing.
You are distracted and slip a bit when you hear a noise from behind. A blur bounds up the slope, having no problems what-so-ever with the unsettled footing, followed closely by a second shape. As they race past, simply glancing at you, you realize that they're tigons.
The two tigons are very different, one's coloring akin to the earth itself, the other's closer to the colors of wildflowers. Both quickly get to the top of the slope, and vanish. You sigh, and continue your careful climb.

Exploring the little isles of freedom in Hong Kong

China Daily, Hong Kong
It is a risk worth taking to explore the outlying islands in Hong Kong, as is evident from these photographs clicked by DJ Clark using a drone and phone.
Even if you made a trip to an outlying island in Hong Kong every weekend, it would take you at least five years to cover all 263 of them. Not all of these are serviced by ferries on a regular schedule though. Still, it is a risk worth taking to check out a select few, as is evident from these photos clicked by DJ Clark using a drone and phone.

Clark's pick of Hong Kong's top five island getaways have a distinctive feature each, noticeable especially in the aerial photographs. Be it Peng Chau's near-perfect crescent shape, or the rolling meadows of the eponymous Grass Island gently caving in to embrace the translucent waters of the sea, the beauty of form and vivid colors is probably best enjoyed when viewed from the top.
Many of these landscapes look amazingly virginal, untrodden, as it were, by human feet. And yet there are signs of human industry, in the rather long causeway connecting Peng Chau with the much smaller Tai Lei island, for example.

At Yim Tin Tsai, it's possible to get both history and stories, including slightly spooky ones. Home to Hakka ethnic people in the 1950s, the island now has a slew of abandoned houses, with left-behind furniture, books and other articles adding to the eeriness in the atmosphere. The Ching Po School has been turned into a museum to showcase the traditional lifestyle practices of a people who do not live here anymore.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 review with pros and cons | 91mobiles.com
October 25, 2022 by healthtutor570
Samsung's Galaxy Watch series can be considered a dominant force against the Apple Watch in the premium smartwatch segment. The South Korean giant's market share in the wearable industry wasn't significant till last year, but in 2022 it has reportedly registered strong year-on-year growth. While budget brands like Noise, Fire Bolt, and Boat remain strong in India's overall smartwatch market, Samsung is becoming more visible on the premium side. Cue in the Galaxy Watch5 series, where Samsung has announced two versions called the Watch5 Pro (review) and the Watch5. The former is a high-end offering priced just shy of Rs 45,000 while the latter can be considered a little more budget-friendly.
Of course, the Galaxy Watch5 is by no means inexpensive, with the Bluetooth-only 40mm version setting you back by Rs 27,999. I have the 44mm LTE model which gets an extra price bump to Rs 35,999, making it a fairly high-end wearable. The Galaxy Watch5 can pair with any Android phone, as long as it is running on Android 8 and above. I have used the Watch5 quite extensively over the past two weeks paired with my OnePlus 10 Pro (review) and here is what I make of it.
If you have seen the Galaxy Watch4, then the Watch5 will feel familiar. On the outside, Samsung has made very few, if any, design changes, which is mostly a good thing. The circular display is housed inside a durable aluminium body while the two physical buttons are retained on one side. I have the Sapphire colour variant and a matching strap, provided inside the box, both of which look elegant. The Watch5 is just the right size for my wrist and at just 33.5g feels light enough not to burden it.
Samsung already is one of the best display makers on the market and it stands to reason that its products make full use of this. The Super AMOLED panel on the Watch5 measures 1.4-inches and has 450 x 450 resolution. At a peak brightness of 1,000 nits, the Galaxy Watch5 is easily legible even in the harshest of sunlight. I also liked how crisp and vibrant the colours were with regard to the different watch faces and UI elements. Like its Pro sibling, the Watch5's display is also protected by a type of sapphire crystal that makes it more durable than regular glass. Of course, the panel has an Always-on feature and the display retains the colour profile of the watch face, albeit the results are slightly muted.
Software and Utility
Samsung has partnered up with Google on the Galaxy Watch5's software front. The combination of WearOS with Samsung's own UI elements sprinkled on top does seem like a masterstroke that gives the consumer a best-of-both-worlds utility. You get Google's Play Store on the watch which enables you to download various apps. For instance, Google Maps works quite well in terms of providing quick directions and giving subtle haptic feedback when turns are approaching.
Apart from that, there are a few other stock apps installed on the device such as Spotify, Microsoft Outlook, and more. For the most part, the interface remains fluid and does a great job of switching between screens. The main touch gestures include swiping up to reveal the downloaded apps, swiping left to check out secondary screens, swiping right for notifications, and swiping down for quick settings. The two buttons can be used to get to the home screen and the previous screen, and are customisable in the Galaxy Wearable app for different functionality. I also like how the Raise to wake works flawlessly every time I turn my wrist around.
As for performance, the Watch5 has the same dual-core 5nm Exynos W920 SoC from last year clocked at 1.18GHz. There's 16GB of inbuilt storage for things like apps, music, and watch faces.
The inbuilt microphone and speaker allow you to take calls directly on your smartwatch. Even better is when your smartphone is paired to wireless earphones and picking up a call on the Watch5 directly transfers it to your earbuds. The speaker on the watch itself is not very loud and you have to really put it close to your ear to hear anything clearly. However, the microphone works exceedingly well even in a noisy environment.
Samsung's Galaxy Wearable app is highly intuitive and provides relevant customisation options for the user. There are a large number of watch faces available to choose from and the Galaxy Watch5 itself can store a variety of faces. There are also app notification settings buried deep inside the UI along with gesture control, button mapping, and more. While Samsung's Bixby is the default choice for AI you can change it to Google Assistant thanks to the WearOS integration. There are also changes that can be made to health and fitness tracking such as measuring SpO2 levels while sleeping, automatic activity detection, heart rate notifications, and more.
Fitness and health tracking
The Galaxy Watch5 has excellent fitness tracking capabilities and the ability to continuously monitor the body's vitals. The Samsung Health app is needed to delve into the various parameters through which Samsung is tracking your workouts and health. The app has a constant step counter displayed on your smartphone's notification panel although it can be turned off. There are 100 workout routines to choose from on the watch and you can also get Google Fit from the Play Store for even more workouts. However, the Watch 5's automatic health tracking will only work with Samsung's stock workout routines.
I was quite satisfied with the data gathered by Watch5 during my daily evening runs. The in-built GPS constantly updated the track locations along with the distance covered during each split and the corresponding heart rate. In the Health app, there were even more detailed metrics regarding heart rate zones, VO2 levels, sweat loss, and more. I compared all the readings with the Apple Watch SE and found them to be consistent and accurate. The IP68 waterproof rating allows you to take the Watch 5 for a swim and dives up to 5ATM.
There are also sleep tracking features on the Watch5 which again are quite accurate. You can gather a detailed analysis of your sleep patterns including drops in blood oxygen and snoring data when your smartphone is placed near you. Also, the watch automatically measures your heart rate at five-minute intervals and lets you know if it is above normal for different situations. I was a bit annoyed by how often the workout detector is triggered even when I'm just walking to the grocery store. Impressively the smartwatch also packs in a bioelectrical impedance analysis sensor to track body fat, BMI, and other stats.
What's not so good
Touch response during a workout
A casual 40-minute running session can lead to a lot of sweat accumulating on the Watch5's screen and that affects the touch response. I could barely swipe to the secondary screens or check other vital information, which is a bummer. Even to pause the workout I had to use the buttons.
Without the always-on display, the Watch5 can last for about two full days on a full charge. However, with the feature turned on, I can hardly get past the one-and-a-half day. The 410mAh battery is slightly bigger than last time around but it seems there are no significant advantages to the battery life. Daily workout tracking further eats into the Watch 5's battery and I feel that Samsung is lagging behind competitors like Fitbit.
SpO2 tracking while sleeping
The blood oxygen tracking is erratic at best while sleeping. Samsung's Health app shows my SpO2 dropping to 78 percent on one night while on the very next I didn't see it drop below 92 percent. All this is to say, that the Watch 5's reading is likely to alter depending on your sleeping position and should not be consulted for medical needs.
The few drawbacks notwithstanding, Samsung has delivered a very wholesome and premium smartwatch experience with the Galaxy Watch5. For fitness and health aficionados, there is very little that other competing products can offer and unless you own an iPhone, the Galaxy Watch5 is the way to go. You can of course shell out even more money to get the Watch5 Pro, but most of its functionality has been provided with the regular Watch5. Finally, users who own a Samsung smartphone will get a more polished experience that all but negates any real competition in the premium smartwatch category.

Should your account use more than 5% of the server's processing power and as a result have a detrimental effect on other customers, we will discuss with you alternative solutions for your hosting requirements.
Unlimited web space is available for genuine website content; content must be linked into web pages. Clients are prohibited from using the server as a file/backup repository. Clients are expected to employ good house keeping when maintaining their account.
This clause is there basically to protect us from companies taking our design and using it without us getting some kind of credit or return. The design of the site and its copyright excludes the design of your company's corporate image and logo, which already exists. The default situation is the creator of a design holds the copyright to it unless agreed otherwise by the creator and the recipient of the design.
Industrial designs are what make an article attractive and appealing; hence, they add to the commercial value of a product and increase its marketability.
When an industrial design is protected, the owner - the person or entity that has created the design - is assured an exclusive right against unauthorised copying or imitation of the design by third parties. This helps to ensure a fair return on their investment of skill and time. It also benefits consumers and the public at large, by promoting fair competition and honest trade practices, encouraging creativity, and promoting more aesthetically attractive products.
By using a website design in flyers for example, so that the actual design of the overall site is used in the flyer (not the design of your corporate image, for which you hold the copyright) you would in effect be getting a flyer design (or the aesthetic design of the flyer) done for nothing.
A contractor NEEDS to own the copyright to code they write. If the contractor uses the same code (regenerative code) on another site, and they didn't own the copyrights, the first customer could sue the contractor.
The contractor would own the copyrights, but the customer would own a license to use their copy of the code any way they choose, unless you have a separate license agreement, which would regulate the terms and conditions of the license.
Of course designing sites - HTML, interface and graphics - is not quite the same thing as writing software or scripts. In some cases with design the Client can be better off with the designer retaining copyright because if there's an infraction they wouldn't begin to know what to do.
