    Floqast Unveils New Cloud Storage and Security Integrations

    | Share | Share | Share | Share FloQast, Inc.'s accounting software now integrates with leading cloud storage providers Microsoft OneDrive and Egnyte as well as cloud Single Sign- On(SSO) solutions from Google and Okta. FloQast is a provider of close management software created by accountants for accountants to close the books faster and more accurately. The out-of-the-box integrations help simplify the setup and adoption of FloQast’s close management software while bolstering security by providing secure access via SSO. These new integrations address enhanced security and governance requirements for security-conscious industries such as, among others, financial services, healthcare and aerospace. With the new integrations of Microsoft OneDrive and Egnyte, FloQast close management software can directly and securely access financial data residing in Excel workbooks housed within these cloud storage applications. This innovative approach ensures that accountants can leverage the familiarity and flexibility of Excel while maintaining security and retaining ownership and control of their sensitive financial data. FloQast accomplishes this by securely accessing customer financial data from Excel-based account reconciliations to make certain all accounts are automatically tied-out against the General Ledger system. This approach reduces the risk of error and eliminates hours of manual work each month. The integrations with Okta and Google SSO further strengthen security by supporting password complexity and Multi-Factor Authentication. Integration with the identity management solutions helps ensure FloQast close management software can only be accessed by authorized users which bolsters governance and security. These new integrations complement FloQast’s existing partnerships with Box, Dropbox and Google Drive. “The financial services industry -- specifically accounting -- is extremely security conscious as it constantly deals with high volumes of highly sensitive information,” said Ronen Vengosh, vice president of business development at Egnyte.

    Camp Entertainment and British Prisoners-Of-War in German Captivity, 1939-1945

    58 Bob Moore and Barbara Hately University of Sheffield, UK Captive Audience: Camp Entertainment and British Prisoners-of-War in German Captivity, 1939-1945 _____________________________________________________________________________________________ During the World War 2 nearly 200,000 British prisoners of war were held inside the Third Reich. Most of the published narratives and histories focus on their road to captivity and attempts at escape but have often underplayed the importance of activities inside the POW camps, organised by the men themselves to alleviate the drudgery and boredom of everyday life. These included education and sports, but perhaps the most prominent aspect of this was the production of theatrical and musical entertainments—often in the most inhospitable circumstances. This study looks at the extent of such activities and their importance in day-to-day existence, both for officers and ordinary servicemen as they battled with the realities of long- term incarceration. Bob Moore is Professor of Twentieth Century European History at the University of Sheffield. He has published extensively on the history of Western Europe in the mid-twentieth century and has also edited a number of collections, including Resistance in Western Europe (2000). His latest monograph, Survivors: Jewish Self-Help and Rescue in Nazi-Occupied Western Europe was published by Oxford in 2010. Barbara Hately is Honorary Research Fellow in the History Department at the University of Sheffield. She has published a number of articles on prisoners of war and was co-editor of Prisoners of War, Prisoners of Peace, (with Bob Moore, 2005). Her monograph, War and Welfare: British prisoner-of-war families, 1939-1945, was published by Manchester University Press in 2009.

I was fortunate to celebrate the occa- sion with my fam- ily and to share the wishes from the White House with family and many friends who re- sponded with awe. First, I was honored to have been assigned to the 111th Squadron, 136th Fighter-Bomber Wing stationed at K-2 Korea in January 1952 after completing Pilot Training at Williams AFB, Chandler, Arizona in October 1951, Class of 51G. Having flown 49 missions with the136th and 58th Wing, my fiftieth mission resulted in my failure to bring my F- 84 home on August 6, 1952. My sister, Adeline may have already explained the after effects. Today, December 15, 2008, I was shocked to receive a personal letter from you with photo and a copy of your POW Recognition Day Proclamation of April 9, 2008. Perhaps you may have time to read this thank you response and allow me to thank you for your service to America in a much greater capacity than this farm boy from Virginia. May you now look forward to your retirement only to seek other ways you and the First Lady can continue to serve this great nation as Nancy and I still do.

He was schooled at the King Edward VII School for Boys. He went on to study law at the University of the Witwatersrand. He interrupted his studies when he volunteered to join the Union Defence Force (U.D.F.) at the beginning of the Second World War (WWII). He was assigned to the Transvaal Scottish Second Battalion. During the five years of the War he wrote numerous letters to his family in Johannesburg. These letters were kept by his mother, Fanny Meyer. They were subsequently given to Julian. They were kept in a shoebox in his garage at the family home in Pietersburg. Following Julian’s death on the 6th September 1993, the letters were taken for safe keeping by his second son, Ralph. It was Ralph’s intention to compile a document of his father’s experiences. Unfortunately, this never happened. The letters were subsequently scanned by the family as PDF documents. In 2015 I was given copies of these documents. The letters are beautifully written and give the reader an interesting overview of the experiences of a soldier and prisoner of war (POW).

    Sonnenburg and the Memory of WW2 in Norway1

    Sonnenburg and the memory of WW2 in Norway1 “Permission to forget should be seen as one of the basic human rights.” – Arne Moi, survivor of Sonnenburg (June 1943-November 1944) Introduction Norway was invaded by Nazi Germany on 9 April 1940. 63 days later the Germans held control of the entire Norwegian territory. The royal family and the Government had managed to escape to England by boat. From London king Haakon and the exile-Government encouraged the Norwegian people to continue the resistance. By 1941, an underground military organization was developed in most parts of the country, except for the northernmost part, and the same was true of civil resistance groups. At the most, almost 400,000 German soldiers were held in Norway to prevent an allied invasion. The German Sicherheitspolizei und Sicherheitsdienst, Sipo u. SD, rapidly established their organization with central headquarters in Oslo, four regional headquarters and more than 30 smaller offices. Like in all other occupied countries Sipo u. SD in Norway recruited informers, attracted collaborators and forced local police to help exposing resistance. As a result, more than 43,000 Norwegians were imprisoned by the Nazis during WWII. Since 1945, there have been published a large amount of books in Norway about the experiences of the Norwegian prisoners: testimonies, diaries, name records, books written by authors and journalists, and scholarly works. 252 Norwegian prisoners were on some point in Sonnenburg, and 44 of them died there.2 Nevertheless, Sonnenburg is practically invisible as a memory place within a Norwegian context. In this short text I will first try to outline who the Norwegians in Sonnenburg were and why they were sent there.

It was well placed on sandy ground planted with pine trees. On 10 April 1945, the majority of POWs were evacuated toward Lubeck, but many of the personnel who were unable to march remained as a unit until liberated by the British on 14 April. STRENGTH: Created for the confinement of Navy and Merchant Marine personnel only, the installation under normal conditions had a capacity of 5300 and in emergencies of 6900. According to official figures of the Protecting Power, the strength in April 1944 was 4268 and in Dec. 1944, 4223 with 41 nations and races represented. In April 1945, approximately 1900 RAF officers were removed from Stalag Luft III at Sagan and were accommodated in this camp. In Sept. 1944, a large group of civilian internees was brought in from Gironagny and placed in the Ilag. At no time were there more than 71 Americans from the Navy and Merchant Marine in this camp, end on 2 April 1945 two American Air Corps officers were imprisoned there, the first non-naval American personnel to arrive.
