This high-tech, 83-foot tractor-trailer transforms into a 1,100-square-foot exhibit to further educate people across the country about the events of that tragic day. Welcomed around the nation, from the Black Hills of South Dakota to Florida's Nature Coast, the memorial provides interactive education; including artifacts such as steel beams from the towers, documentary videos, and recordings of first responder radio transmissions. Interactive guided tours are carried out by FDNY firefighters who provide firsthand accounts of the day and its aftermath. The 9/11 NEVER FORGET Mobile Exhibit, which has traveled to nearly 50 states and Canada has educated over 650,000 people to date. To date, Tunnel to Towers has delivered over 1,000 mortgage-free homes to our nation’s heroes and committed over $500 million across all of our programs. This year the Foundation is delivering over 200 mortgage-free homes to catastrophically injured veterans and first responders, Gold Star families, families of first responders who leave behind young children and more than 1,500 housing units to combat veteran homelessness. The Tunnel to Towers Foundation made a promise to “NEVER FORGET” those lost on 9/11 and the continued impact the attacks have on America and its first responders.

A Brief History of Slavery and Frederick Douglass

There are always questions in regard to slavery such as, “When did the first slaves make it to the America’s?”, “Who approved of such cruelty?” Slavery has inhabited every corner of the globe and still lives on today. Our story of slavery begins in the 1400’s after the Portuguese embark on exploring the coast of West Africa. King Charles II legalized the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade in the mid 1600’s. This aloud the Royal African Company to transport Africans they called “black gold” to the Americas. By this time, plantations in both the Caribbean Islands and America were booming and owners needed an abundance of slaves to maintain their cash crops. As the number of Africans began to diminish from the coast, Europeans moved inland raiding small towns and villages. You can find more information here. 

This is an illustrated image published in The Graphic (a popular London illustrated weekly newspaper) that depicts Muslims raiding and kidnapping people in the East Central Africa region.

During the years 1525-1866, 12.5 million Africans were taken from Africa to the New World. Approximately 300,000 of those Africans were shipped to America. The last U.S. slave ship docked in Mobile Bay 3 years before the Emancipation Proclamation was signed by Abraham Lincoln in January of 1863. She was called Clotilda and came with 110-160 slaves. Here is a picture of what the ship looked like and the path it took to get to America. 

Among the thousands of slaves that were taken from Africa to America was Frederick Douglass’ family. Frederick Douglass was actually born Frederick Augustus Washington Bailey and was raised a slave. He ran away at age 20 and adopted the surname “Douglas” after Sir Walter Scott’s The Lady of the Lake. He wrote three autobiographies discussing his life as a slave and two additional biographies (My Bondage and My Freedom and The Life and Times of Frederick Douglass) that elevated the southern culture. Below is a picture of Douglass in his younger years. 

Known as the most important black American leader of the 19th century, Douglass was also a great orator and writer of persuasive power. He was an abolitionist long before the Civil War and even met with President Abraham Lincoln convincing him that “the negro is the stomach of the rebellion”. In other words, if Lincoln frees the slaves he will have more Union soldiers to fight against the Confederacy. After the Emancipation Proclamation takes effect in January of 1863, Douglass recruits black soldiers for the Union. An original hand-signed Leland-Boker edition of the Emancipation Proclamation lives at the Allen County Public Library.

Lincoln valued Douglass’ opinions greatly. Frederick Douglass advocated for issues concerning unequal pay and treatment of African American soldiers and racial inequality. In his book The Life and Times of Frederick Douglass, he wrote,

“Though slavery was abolished, the wrongs of my people were not ended. Though they were not slaves, they were not quite free. No man can be truly free whose liberty is dependent upon the thought, feeling, and actions of others, and who has himself no means in his own hands for guarding, protecting, defecting, and maintaining that liberty.”

Douglass knew the first step to African American independence was the abolishment of slavery, but he knew the equality of whites and blacks would only come with time and with strong leaders to carry-on his legacy. Here is a picture of the abolitionist himself in later years.

In April of 1865, Frederick Douglass along with thousands of people across America mourned the death of President Abraham Lincoln. In Douglass’ eulogy for Lincoln, he strongly states, “…Abraham Lincoln, while unsurpassed in his devotion, to the welfare of the white race, was also in a sense hitherto without example, emphatically the black mans President: the first to show any respect for their rights as men.” Because of this, Douglass gave the citizens of the United States hope for the future; to walk in our martyred President’s footsteps and continue the life Lincoln would have wanted us to live. Below is a picture of Lincoln’s funeral procession in New York.

During Frederick Douglass’ last years he was involved in local politics and served as a marshal for the District of Columbia. His wife of 44 years, Anna Murray, passes away and he remarries Helen Pitts, a white woman. Although his decision to marry Helen stirred controversy, Douglass continued to advocate for the rights of African Americans and even women. He supported Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony in their campaign for women suffrage. For reasons such as these we highlight Frederick Douglass’ achievements by composing books to convey his daily struggles and triumphs, teaching it in our classrooms, and continuing to secure the life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness of those Douglass, Lincoln, and many others fought so hard to free.

Mobile and in-store tyre fitting are turning into an inexorably well-known approach to have your tires changed, fitted or repaired. Offered by most respectable tyre shops in Slacks Creek. Mobile tire fitting includes sending an expert tire fitter, outfitted with all the essential skills, experience and gear, to you, as opposed to requesting that you make your way to the garage while in-store tire fitting encourages you to pick a specific vendor from the options of accessible alternatives from your locality while the tire is purchased.

Let's pin down the advantages of mobile tyre-fitting.

In the event that you discover your tire is damaged or punctured and requires fixing or replacement, it very well may be an incredibly inconvenient task to attempt. Regardless of whether you're working, attempting to plan for an appropriate appointment time, going to set out on a weekend trip away or you're a bustling parent attempting to shuffle between children and housework, a trip to the car garage is the last thing you need to do.

Things being what they are, rather than removing important time from your day, why not ask an expert tire fitter to come to you? Portable tire fitting removes all the pressure of sorting out an appointment, going there and back and waiting while the work is being done – you should simply check in with the fitters toward the start and the end, leaving you to continue ahead with your day while they work.

Being stuck on a street with a flattened or damaged tire is most people's concept of a nightmare. Be that as it may, in the event that you end up in the heavy traffic urgently attempting to replace a tire or wishing you had kept a spare handy, don't freeze; essentially call a mobile tire fitting organization to give quick and compelling solutions! Most mobile tire fitters will offer emergency call-out services nonstop and will send somebody legitimately to your area – regardless of whether you are at home, work or on the roadside.

In the event that you notice damage on your tires, it might be enticing to continue driving or endeavour to make it to the garage yourself for a brisk, expert opinion. In any case, tire issues can make this staggeringly dangerous and, rather than gambling returning out and about, why not get a specialist out to you?

A mobile tire fitting assistance will come directly to your area as quickly as could be expected under the circumstances, which means you don't need to drive anywhere, radically advancing your street and vehicle safety levels.

Mobile tire fitting is a financially savvy choice when undertaking tire fixes or replacements. Firstly, you don't squander cash on fuel getting to and from a garage. Rather, a specialist will come directly to you at an area you deem the most helpful.

Furthermore, you avoid costs brought about with any time spent out of your day – for instance missing an evening of work or paying for a babysitter while you hang tight for the tire fitting arrangement to be finished.

By calling upon the experience of an expert tire fitter, you abstain from fitting your tires yourself. This can be amazingly favourable for individuals who may not be comfortable with the way toward replacing a tire or who may feel apprehensive about undertaking such work at the street side.

Whether it's tyre replacement services or buying cheap tyres in Slacks Creek, Mr Tyre Online is the pioneer in providing quality tyres in Logan City. For more information on this click on the link below:

UPDATE 17/04: THE OFFER HAS NOW CHANGED AGAIN. IT IS 3 FREE £5 CREDITS AND THEN +1 £5 FREE RIDE FOR USING REFERRAL – THE OFFER SEEMS TO BE PRETTY RANDOM AT THE MOMENT DEPENDING ON LOCATION

If you are a DRIVER looking to work for OLA then use the following referral code when registering to get a bonus payment when you have completed the agreed number of customer drops : LB268S

If you haven’t already noticed I’m a bit of a PRINCESS when it comes to public transport and my blog is littered with cost saving hacks to make cab rides as cheap as possible :-). My latest cab blog is about the free ride offer currently active at the new kid on the block . . . . Ola Cabs.

I’ve been working in Birmingham these last few months and Ola, one of the world’s largest ride-hailing platforms, has launched in the UK (and more specifically in Birmingham for me) ​and  gives passengers a new and convenient way to hail a black cab or private hire vehicle. Think of it as the new Uber with more competitive pricing 🙂

​Ola launched in Bristol in mid 2018 and has steadily begun increasing the areas it provides it’s services. Currently it operates ride-hailing services in five regions that cover several of the UK’s bigger cities: South Wales (Cardiff, Newport and Vale of Glamorgan), the South West (Bath, Bristol, Exeter, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire), Merseyside (Knowsley, Liverpool, Sefton, St Helens and The Wirral), West Midlands (Birmingham, Dudley, Sandwell, Solihull, Walsall and Wolverhampton, Coventry & Warwickshire) and Reading and will soon to be launching in London.

I hadn’t heard of Ola until I saw the cabs driving around Birmingham – so downloaded the app to see how I got on. The first thing I noticed was that most of the drivers who  picked me up were actually Uber drivers as well so you can expect pretty much the same driver/passenger experience.

UK

Ola Cab Referral

Code: LB268S

 But what’s actually great about Ola service is the prices. You can see I have highlighted a referral code above. Use this when joining and before making your first booking and you will get your 1st ride free (upto £10) and your next 5 rides at half price (upto £5 off each) . What’s more I have found that over the past few weeks I have received notifications through the Ola app offering me discounts of between 25 – 40 % on a regular basis. So you can bet the service is cheaper than Uber!

Oh and Ola is the only app that can be used by both black cabs and Private Hire Vehicles (PHVs), giving you a greater choice when you fly or get a train into a public transfort hub

In India, Ola is the dominant ride-hailing service provider. In addition to the U.K. other markets where it operates outside of its home country are Australia (where it has services in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth, Canberra and the Gold Coast) and New Zealand (Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch). More countries will be launching soon!

I dont want new Ola drivers to miss out – so below you will find a driver app referral code to use which gives you a bonus on your first few driver bookings. The coupon code to use is : LB268S

 Surprisingly from all my blog posts this one has been one of my most popular. But I’ve been asked a number of questions on email over and over again – so I thought I would add the answers below. Just remember I’m just a gal who takes a few too many Ola cabs – I’m no a cab expert 😉

Are you a driver looking to work for Ola? If so – you can use the following referral code when applying to work for Ola to get a CASH BONUS when you have completed the relevant number of rides. Use the code: LB268S

The Responsibilities of Accountants in your Business

Accounting has always been an essential part of both big and small businesses. However, in the next few years, their obligations will become more diverse as they take on new positions in the workplace. So, let's explore how one can become an accountant and what a few of their core responsibilities are.

The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and for would-be accountants, that first step is getting a degree in accounting or taking related courses. Once you have your education under your belt, the next phase is to gain hands-on experience through internships or working for an accounting firm. After amassing appropriate experience, you can then take the plunge and become certified.

In addition to taking the regular accountancy exams, another excellent way for people in the field to further their education is by enrolling in specific CPD courses for accountants. These courses are great pathways for accountants to continue learning and gain a competitive edge.

The key responsibilities of an accountant are as follows:

Forecasting your budget

Accountants are also responsible for budgeting. They will need to evaluate a company's financial status and offer suggestions on how to save money. This is critical since it allows firms to be more cost-effective and successful in their spending.

Accountants will need to keep an eye on a firm's budget to ensure it is being adhered to. This involves examining expenditures and income for signs that the company may save money.

Accountants are responsible for producing financial statements for businesses. Balance sheets, income statements, and cash flow statements are just a few of the financial reports that they prepare. Financial statements are crucial since they offer a one-time view of a company's financial condition. They're used by investors to help them decide whether or not to invest in a firm.

Dealing with tax returns

Returns are vital because they make sure businesses pay their fair share of taxes. This includes creating the return, totaling the amount of tax owned, and giving the papers to the government.

Ensuring Quality in Your Audits

The demand for auditing services will rise as companies become more transparent. Accountants will be required to give assurance that a firm's financial statements are correct and fraud-free.

Auditors need to assess a company's internal controls to make sure they are up to par. Furthermore, if auditors find any suspicious activity, they will investigate it. This is crucial as it reinforces proper business protocol and builds trust between investors and the organization.

Make sure the financial data is always stored securely

As more businesses turn to cloud-based applications and mobile devices, data security is increasingly necessary to protect against hackers. Businesses need to take proactive steps to ensure their data is safe from potential threats.

Accountants have a critical role to play in data security, as they are responsible for protecting sensitive financial information. They will need to implement measures such as encryption and access controls to keep businesses safe from cyber-attacks and safeguard their data.

Support sustainability

As awareness of environmental concerns increases, pressure on firms to embrace sustainable methods grows. This is especially true for industries that have a significant carbon impact, such as manufacturing and transportation. To satisfy these needs, businesses will be required to disclose their sustainability efforts.

This will place a big demand on tax accountant gold coast, who will be responsible for collecting and analyzing data related to a company's carbon emissions, water usage, and waste production. This is necessary to ensure accurate reporting and compliance with environmental regulations.

Following risk management guidelines

Accountants will be required to assume a bigger role in risk management as the corporate world becomes more complicated. With new laws and increasingly volatile global markets, companies need someone who can assist them navigate these waters.

To properly advise businesses on risk prevention, accountants must have a comprehensive understanding of risk management principles.

CON - GO ?

The Democratic Republic of Congo is potentially one of the richest countries on earth, but colonialism, slavery and corruption have turned it into one of the poorest. Bloodiest conflict since World War II is still rumbling on today. It is a war in which more than five million people have died, millions more have been driven to the brink by starvation and disease and several million women and girls have been raped.

The Great War of Africa, a conflagration that has sucked in soldiers and civilians from nine nations and countless armed rebel groups, has been fought almost entirely inside the borders of one unfortunate country - The Democratic Republic of Congo.

Many of the country's mining operations are connected to the waters of the mighty Congo River. It is a place seemingly blessed with every type of mineral, yet consistently rated lowest on the UN Human Development Index, where even the more fortunate live in grinding poverty. 

“I went to the Congo this summer to find out what it was about the country's past that had delivered it into the hands of unimaginable violence and anarchy.The journey that I went on, through the Congo's abusive history, while travelling across its war-torn present, was the most disturbing experience of my career. I met rape victims, rebels, bloated politicians and haunted citizens of a country that has ceased to function - people who struggle to survive in a place cursed by a past that defies description, a history that will not release them from its death-like grip. The Congo's apocalyptic present is a direct product of decisions and actions taken over the past five centuries.” - As stated by an author.

In the late 15th Century an empire known as the Kingdom of Kongo dominated the western portion of the Congo, and bits of other modern states such as Angola. It was sophisticated, had its own aristocracy and an impressive civil service.

When Portuguese traders arrived from Europe in the 1480s, they realized they had stumbled upon a land of vast natural wealth, rich in resources - particularly human flesh. The Congo was home to a seemingly inexhaustible supply of strong, disease-resistant slaves. The Portuguese quickly found this supply would be easier to tap if the interior of the continent was in a state of anarchy. They did their utmost to destroy any indigenous political force capable of curtailing their slaving or trading interests. Money and modern weapons were sent to rebels, Kongolese armies were defeated, kings were murdered, elites slaughtered and secession was encouraged.

By the 1600s, the once-mighty kingdom had disintegrated into a leaderless, anarchy of mini- states locked in endemic civil war. Slaves, victims of this fighting, flowed to the coast and were carried to the Americas. About four million people were forcibly embarked at the mouth of the Congo River. English ships were at the heart of the trade. British cities and merchants grew rich on the back of Congolese resources they would never see.

This first engagement with Europeans set the tone for the rest of the Congo's history. Development has been stifled, government has been weak and the rule of law non-existent. This was not through any innate fault of the Congolese, but because it has been in the interests of the powerful to destroy, suppress and prevent any strong, stable, legitimate government. That would interfere - as the Kongolese had threatened to interfere before - with the easy extraction of the nation's resources. The Congo has been utterly cursed by its natural wealth. The Congo is a massive country, the size of Western Europe.

Stanley's expeditions opened up the Congo for exploitation by King Leopold

Limitless water, from the world's second-largest river, the Congo, a benign climate and rich soil make it fertile, beneath the soil abundant deposits of copper, gold, diamonds, cobalt, uranium, coltan and oil are just some of the minerals that should make it one of the world's richest countries. Instead it is the world's most hopeless.

The interior of the Congo was opened up in the late 19th Century by the British-born explorer Henry Morton Stanley, his dreams of free trading associations with communities he met were shattered by the infamous King of the Belgians, Leopold, who hacked out a vast private empire. Congo rubber was in high demand after the pneumatic tyre appeared on the market in 1888 The world's largest supply of rubber was found at a time when bicycle and automobile tyres, and electrical insulation, had made it a vital commodity in the West. The late Victorian bicycle craze was enabled by Congolese rubber collected by slave labourers. To tap it, Congolese men were rounded up by a brutal Belgian-officered security force, their wives were interned to ensure compliance and were brutalised during their captivity. The men were then forced to go into the jungle and harvest the rubber. Disobedience or resistance was met by immediate punishment - flogging, severing of hands, and death. Millions perished.

Tribal leaders capable of resisting were murdered, indigenous society decimated, proper education denied. A culture of rapacious, barbaric rule by a Belgian elite who had absolutely no interest in developing the country or population was created, and it has endured. In a move supposed to end the brutality, Belgium eventually annexed the Congo outright, but the problems in its former colony remained. Mining boomed, workers suffered in appalling conditions, producing the materials that fired industrial production in Europe and America.

Uranium used to construct the atomic bomb was sourced from Congo In World War I men on the Western Front and elsewhere did the dying, but it was Congo's minerals that did the killing. The brass casings of allied shells fired at Passchendaele and the Somme were 75% Congolese copper. In World War II, the uranium for the nuclear bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki came from a mine in south-east Congo. Western freedoms were defended with Congo's resources while black Congolese were denied the right to vote, or form unions and political associations. They were denied anything beyond the most basic of educations.

They were kept at an infantile level of development that suited the rulers and mine owners but made sure that when independence came there was no home-grown elite who could run the country.

In 1997 an alliance of neighboring African states, led by Rwanda - which was furious Mobutu's Congo was sheltering many of those responsible for the 1994 genocide - invaded, after deciding to get rid of Mobutu. A Congolese exile, Laurent Kabila, was dredged up in East Africa to act as a figurehead. Mobutu's cash-starved army imploded, its leaders, incompetent cronies of the president, abandoning their men in a mad dash to escape.

Mobutu took off one last time from his jungle Versailles, his aircraft packed with valuables, his own unpaid soldiers firing at the plane as it lumbered into the air. The country has collapsed, roads no longer link the main cities, healthcare depends on aid and charity

Rwanda had effectively conquered its titanic neighbour with spectacular ease. Once installed however, Kabila, Rwanda's puppet, refused to do as he was told. Again Rwanda invaded, but this time they were just halted by her erstwhile African allies who now turned on each other and plunged Congo into a terrible war. Foreign armies clashed deep inside the Congo as the paper-thin state collapsed totally and anarchy spread. Hundreds of armed groups carried out atrocities, millions died.

Ethnic and linguistic differences fanned the ferocity of the violence, while control of Congo's stunning natural wealth added a terrible urgency to the fighting. Forcibly conscripted child soldiers corralled armies of slaves to dig for minerals such as coltan, a key component in mobile phones, the latest obsession in the developed world, while annihilating enemy communities, raping women and driving survivors into the jungle to die of starvation and disease.

The Congo is a land far away, yet our histories are so closely linked. We have thrived from a lopsided relationship, yet we are utterly blind to it. The price of that myopia has been human suffering on an unimaginable scale.

5 Cyber security steps to take to protect your company

Cybersecurity involves protecting your company's computers, servers, networks, and data from malicious attacks, damage, and unauthorized access. A growing number of cyber-attacks and data breaches are happening, and your small business should be considering how it can protect itself. There is no escaping the fact that small businesses are being attacked more and more, and you must fight back to ensure you don't become one of them.

Small businesses are vulnerable because they don't have the resources to respond effectively to breaches. As a result of tight margins, lower cash flow, and fewer specialist employees to deal with the fallout, you have fewer options when dealing with the aftermath of a hack. However, if you want to ensure that your business makes a difficult target for attackers, you can hire Netlogyx your professional cyber security Gold Coast service.

Listed below are 5 security steps that you can follow to protect your company

1.      Educate your employees about cyber security

IT security systems are only effective for a certain amount of time. In addition to your employees practising safe internet and network usage, you must ensure greater security against hackers. More than 90% of cyber-attacks use the information provided by unwitting company employees. So you should educate your staff about cyber security issues regularly.

 2.      Take security and backup seriously

To mitigate risk from cyber-attacks, your business needs to invest in multilayered security, robust backups, and sometimes hiring of professional cyber security Gold Coast services. As a result, you will be proactive and reduce the impact of an attack - which is better than finding out your methods don't work properly and suffering excessive downtime or paying a 'ransom' for crucial data to be decrypted or returned.

 3.      Updating your security systems is essential

It's pointless to install a security system and then fail to maintain it up to date. Because attackers' capabilities are constantly improving and scams are evolving, you must always have the most recent version of software to keep secure. This applies to all your company-owned mobile devices, not just office technology. While your employees are responsible for using their equipment safely, they must conduct due diligence and verify that devices are updated regularly.

4.      Use complex passwords instead of easy-to-remember ones

Many people find passwords annoying, but they are necessary and there for a reason. However, they are commonly abused in business operations daily. Many companies issue default passwords to all staff and do not encourage or require them to change them regularly. Ensure that all business-related software, hardware, and devices are secured with strong, unique passwords. They should also be changed regularly. In addition to mixed upper- and lower-case letters, a strong password should also contain numbers and other symbols.

5.      Regularly test your backup and security mechanisms

Nothing is more frustrating than believing you have all the necessary backups and systems in place only to realize after a cyber-attack that something isn't operating properly. Your IT policy should include regular testing by professional cyber security Gold Coast agency to guarantee that you are never vulnerable to an attack. A DR or recovery strategy that hasn't been tested isn't a plan.

At Netlogyx, we provide IT support to small, medium, and large enterprises. Our IT specialists offer dependable IT support, cyber security solutions, and IT management. We provide a complete cyber security Gold Coast solution that will protect your business from hackers and malicious software.
